CrIII-Phthalocyaninate: Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Kristallstruktur von l-Bis(triphenylphosphin)iminium-trans-di(nitrito(O))phthalocyaninato(2–)-chromat(III)

Cr^III Phthalocyaninates: Synthesis, Properties, and Crystal Structure of l-Bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium trans-Di(nitrito(O))phthalocyaninato(2–)chromate(III) [Cr(H₂O)₂Pc^2?]I_x reacts with excess (PNP)NO₂ in dimethylformamide to yield less soluble greenblack l-bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium trans-di(nitrito(O))phthalocyaninato(2–)chromate(III), ^l(PNP)^trans[Cr(ONO)₂Pc^2?], which crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (No. 2) with Z = 2. The Cr atom is in the center of the Pc^2? ligand and the two nitrite ions are monodentate O-coordinated in a mutually trans arrangement to the Cr atom. The Cr? O and Cr? N_iso bond distances are 1.9898(14) und 1.981(2) Å, respectively. The geometric data of the coordinated nitrite ion are: d(N? O) = 1.307(2) Å; d(N? O) = 1.205(2) Å; ?(O? N? O) = 113.7(2)°; ?(Cr? O? N) = 116.85(12)°. The non-bonding O atoms are trans to the Cr atom. The Pc^2? ligand is slightly saddled. Three weak spin-allowed trip-quartet(TQ) transitions (in 10³ cm^?1): TQ1 (8.20) < TQ2 (11.3) < TQ3 (20.33) and the characteristic π-π* transitions of the Pc^2? ligand: B (14.68) < Q₁ (27.1) < Q₂ (29.0) < N (35.4) are observed in the UV-VIS-NIR spectrum. Prominent luminescence spectra are obtained by excitation within the TQ1 region, in which the spin-forbidden trip-sextet transition at 7376 cm^?1 dominates at low temperatures (T < 50 K). The vibrational spectra are discussed. In coincidence of the excitation lines with TQ3, v_s(Cr? O) at 378 cm^?1 is selectively resonance Raman (RR) enhanced. v_as(Cr? O) is observed in the FIR spectrum at 391 cm^?1. The following internal vibrations (in cm^?1) of the nitrito ligand are in the MIR spectrum: v_as(N? O)/1447 > v_as(N? O)/1018/1029 > δ(O? N? O)/828 and in the RR-spectrum: v_s(N? O)/1410 > v_s(N? O)/952, the last followed by three overtones.

Anatoxins and degradation products, determined using hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight and quadrupole ion-trap mass spectrometry: forensic investigations of cyanobacterial neurotoxin poisoning

The potent neurotoxins from cyanobacteria, anatoxin-a (AN), its methyl analogue, homoanatoxin-a (HMAN), and their degradation products, have been studied using nano-electrospray hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QqTOF-MS). The anatoxin degradation products, which are readily produced in vivo by either reduction or epoxidation, were also examined in this study. The high mass accuracy QqTOF-MS data was used to confirm formula assignments for major product ions and quadrupole ion-trap (QIT)-MS was used to construct fragmentation pathways for anatoxins. Significant differences between these fragmentation pathways were observed. Comparisons between the spectra of compounds that differ in side-chain length (the AN and HMAN series) were used to identify ions that are characteristic of the homologues. The application to forensic samples in which the principal neurotoxin had undergone rapid biodegradation has been demonstrated and used to confirm anatoxin poisoning of dogs.     

Infrared and Raman spectroscopic investigations of the Nb(V) fluoro and oxofluoro complexes in the LiF-NaF-KF eutectic melt with development of a diamond IR cell

A vacuum-tight cell for infrared spectroscopic investigations of extremely corrosive melts, e.g., molten fluorides, has been constructed and tested up to 750 degrees C. The cell has a gold-lined sample chamber and a diamond window transparent for the infrared light. It can be furnished with a gold piston that enables the recording of short-path-length FTIR spectra of liquid samples. Solutions of Nb(V) in LiF-NaF-KF eutectic (FLINAK) with and without oxide additions have been investigated by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The presence of NbF7(2-), NbOF5(2-), and NbO2F4(3-) complexes was established in the molten state at 600 degrees C. After solidification NbF7(2-) was still the only Nb(V) all-fluoro complex present. Three oxofluoro complexes, NbOF6(3-), NbOF5(2-), and NbO2F4(3-), have been identified in the solid state. Typical frequency regions for the different complexes are established. Finally, it was shown that K2NbF7 can be used as an indicator to determine the oxide content of the sample melts.     

Diagrammatic formulation of the kinetic theory of fluctuations in equilibrium classical fluids. V. The short time approximation for the memory function

The correlation function for density fluctuations in a monatomic fluid obeys a formally exact kinetic equation containing a memory function. A previously derived short time approximation (STA) for this memory function is tested by comparing its predictions with the results of molecular dynamic simulations of a dense Lennard-Jones fluid at a variety of temperatures. This approximation takes into account the contribution to the correlation function of uncorrelated repulsive binary collisions. The qualitative changes of predicted correlation functions with temperature and wave vector are generally correct. The major exception to this is the transverse current correlation function for small wave vector. The quantitative accuracy is better at short times than long times and better at high temperatures than low temperatures. The major failing of the STA is its underestimation of the amplitudes of the negative dips in the current autocorrelation functions and of the temperature dependence of the amplitudes of the dips. Despite its deficiencies in predicting the time dependence of current correlation functions, the STA gives accurate results for the self-diffusion coefficient and the shear viscosity coefficient at the highest temperatures studied.     

Synthesis, resolution, and applications of 2, 2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,3'- binaphtho[2,1-b]furan

[structure: see text] A short five-step synthesis of (+/-)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3, 3'-binaphtho[2,1-b]furan (BINAPFu, 1) starting from 2-naphthoxyacetic acid is reported. The resolution of BINAPFu 1 was possible using our newly developed resolution procedure for phosphines wherein (1S)-camphorsulfonyl azide was used to prepare the bisphosphinimine of BINAPFu via the Staundinger reaction. BINAPFu consistently outperformed BINAP in an asymmetric Heck reaction between 2,3-dihydrofuran and phenyl triflate.     

High-temperature liquid chromatography

The present state of the active use of elevated temperatures in liquid chromatography is reviewed, including the effects on retention, selectivity and efficiency. Separations in aqueous mobile phases as well as non-aqueous media are discussed, with particular emphasis on narrow-bore columns.     

Isotopic exchange of CO adsorbed on Pt(111)

The isotopic exchange of CO adsorbed on Pt(111) was studied using polarization modulation IR reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and temperature programmed desorption. It was found that the rate constants for the exchange reaction are much higher than would be expected from previous investigations of CO adsorbed on Pt nanoparticles. The adsorption of CO on Pt(111) under elevated pressures of CO and H(2) was also studied using PM-IRRAS. It was seen that CO pressures above 1 mbar lead to a shift in the absorption peak arising from CO adsorbed on a bridge site from 1850 to 1875 cm(-1). Exposing the CO-covered Pt(111) surface to 1000 mbar H(2) did not lead to any significant desorption of CO at room temperature, whereas at 363 K H(2) exposure did lead to a significant desorption of CO, due to the increased chemical potential of H(2). In a mixture of CO and H(2) with partial pressures of 0.01 mbar and 1000 mbar, respectively, no significant effect of H(2) on the PM-IRRAS spectrum was seen at temperatures below 423 K.
