Interactions des alcynes avec les complexes carbéniques du tungstène portant une double liaison carbone— carbone: Accès aux dérivés bicyclo[4,1,0] heptaniques par insertion-cyclopropanation

Treatment of VO(acac)₂ with the facial-tridentate organometallic ligand [η-CpCo{P(O)(OEt)₂}₃]^? affords a new binuclear compound [η-CpCo{P(O)(OEt)₂}₃VO(acac)] (I). This compound undergoes protonation with HPF₆ in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), or 2,2′-bipyridyl (bipy), to yield binuclear cationic derivatives [η-CpCo{P(O)(OEt)₂}₃VO(phen))]⁺PF₆^? (II), and [η-CpCo{P(O)(OEth)₂}₃VO(bipy)]⁺PF₆^? (III). The X-ray crystal structure determination and full characterization of I has been performed. The catalytic oxygenation and oxygen transfer to 3,5-di-t-butylcatechol in the presence of I, II⁺, or III⁺ complexes is reported.

Cyclotetrasilazane als precursor für cyclotrisilazane und bis(cyclodisilazan-1-yl)silane

Di-lithiated octamethylcyclotetrasilazane (OMCTS, 1) reacts with halosilanes in different ways. Ring contraction with formation of the isomeric cyclodisilazanes 2, 3 occurs in the reaction with chloro- and fluorotrimethylsilanes. Substitution (6) and ring contraction with formation of the isomeric six-membered ring 7 occurs with chlorodimethylsilane. 2, 3, 6 and 7 are excellent precursors of silyl-bridged, SiH-functional, four-membered ring systems (4, 5, 9–11). The mechanism of the isomerization reactions are discussed.     

ROLE OF ENDOSYMBIOTIC ALGAE IN PHOTOKINESIS AND PHOTOPHOBIC RESPONSES OF CILIATES

Abstract— The photobehavior of the ciliates Climacostomuum virens, Euplotes daidaleos and Paramecium bursaria associated with endosymbiotic green algae ( Chlorella sp.) was compared with that of aposymbiotic ciliates (ciliates free of algae) and with the always aposymbiotic Paramecium arcticum . The aposymbiotic ciliates showed step-up photophobic responses. The responses were more frequent and occurred at lower light intensities when the organisms contained endosymbiotic algae. In contrast, step-down photophobic responses and photoaccumulations, as well as photokinesis, were never observed in aposymbiotic cells. These responses could be found only in ciliates when endosymbionts were present with the exception of C. virens , which showed none of these photoresponses.     

Borazin—metallkomplexe : VI. Über ligandenaustauschreaktionen an borazin—metallkomplexen: synthese von B-trimethylborazin-tricarbonylchrom

Me₃B₃N₃H₃Cr(CO)₃ has been obtained by ring-ligand exchange starting from Et₃B₃N₃Me₃Cr(CO)₃ and Me₃B₃N₃H₃. The new compound has been characterised by means of their IR, NMR, UV and mass spectroscopic data.     

Conditions for the existence of the “primitive function” in “exchange perturbation theory”

Necessary conditions are derived that a symmetry-adapted perturbation theory for intermolecular forces (exchange perturbation theory) has to satisfy and which is essentially a condition for the existence of the primitive function Φ. The concept of a “genuine primitive function” is introduced and it is shown that the Φ of the AM, EL-HAV AND MS-MA schemes is not a genuine primitive function whereas that of the HS scheme is.     

Open- and closed-shell states in few-particle quantum mechanics. II. Classification of atomic states

The system developed in the first paper of this series for the classification of states as open- or closed-shed type is applied to atomic states. These may be classified in the isoelectronic limit (Z → ∞) from knowledge of the true wave function in this limit. One-matrix occupation numbers are tabulated for a number of states of the first-row atoms in the limit Z → ∞ and the states classified. A classification for finite Z is possible in the framework of the Z-dependent perturbation theory by use of a thoerem for the stability of a closed-shed with respect to small perturbations. Such a stability does not hold in general for open-shel states.     

Semiconductor gas sensors in bioreactor control

A simple semiconductor gas sensor (TGS 812) is used for the on-line measurement and control of indole during the production of l-tryptophan from indole and l-serine with immobilized E. coli cells. Indole is estimated in the reactor gas space. In combination with an automatic indole supply system, a feed-batch process became possible. The indole concentration was monitored and kept within the optimal range (300–600 mg l^?1). A simple gas-sensing electrode dipped in the reaction medium provides direct measurement of organic solvents and gases in the liquid. Such a system is suitable for on-line determination of ethanol (10–70 g l^?1) during continuous production of ethanol with immobilized yeast cells.     

Basische metalle : XXXVII. Zur reaktivität der ethylen(hydrido)rhodium-komplexe [C5H5RhH(C2H4)PR3]X gegenüber nucleophilen: insertion versus substitution

The complex [C₅H₅RhH(C₂H₄)PMe₃]BF₄ (I) reacts with NaF and NaCN by deprotonation to give C₅H₅Rh(PMe₃)C₂H₄ but with NaCl, NaBr and NaI the ethylrhodium compounds C₅H₅RhC₂H₅(PMe₃)X (II–IV) are obtained. The reactions of I with CO and PPrⁱ₃ yield the BF₄ salts of the cations [C₅H₅RhH(CO)PMe₃]⁺ and [C₅H₅RhH(PPrⁱ₃)PMe₃]⁺ (V, VI), respectively, from which the uncharged complexes C₅H₅Rh(CO)PMe₃ (VII) and C₅H₅Rh(PPRⁱ₃)PMe₃ (VIII) are prepared. The carbonyl compound VII is also accessible either from C₅H₅Rh(CO)₂ and PMe₃ or from C₅H₅Rh(PMe₃)₂ and CO. The reaction of I with ethylene leads to the BF₄ salt of the cation [C₅H₅RhC₂H₅(PMe₃)C₂H₄]⁺ (X) which on treatment with PMe₃ forms the complex [C₅H₅RhC₂H₅(PMe₃)C₂H₄PMe₃]BF₄ (XI). The compound [C₅H₅RhH(C₂H₄)PPrⁱ₃]BF₄ (XII) reacts with NaI by insertion to yield C₅H₅RhC₂H₅(PPrⁱ₃)I (XIII) whereas with PPrⁱ₃ the salt [C₅H₅RhH(PPrⁱ₃)₂]BF₄ (XIV) is produced. The bis(triisopropylphosphine) complex C₅H₅Rh(PPrⁱ₃)₂ (XVI) is obtained from XIV and NaH.
