Observation and analysis ofE mesons in\bar p p annihilation at rest in H2 gas

Antiproton-proton annihilation at rest in a gaseous H₂ target at NTP into the final state π⁺ π^? K ^± π^? (K ⁰) with an undetectedK ⁰ or \(\bar K^0 \) has been investigated. We observe theE(1420) resonance in the invariant mass spectrum (K ⁰)_miss K ^± π^? with massM _E =1413±8 MeV/c² and widthГ ^E =62 ± 16MeV/c² and find evidence for the production of thef ₁(1285). The absolute branching ratio of \(\bar p\) p → π⁺ π^? E ⁰,E ⁰ →K ₀ ^L K ^± π ^? at (61±6)%P wave annihilation is (3.0±0.9)·10^?4 of all annihilations. The observed suppression of theE production fromP wave with respect to theS wave together with some simple selection rules suggest that the quantum numbers of theE(1420) areJ ^pc=0^?+ and not I⁺⁺.

The effect of vibrational bond stretching on rotational inelastic electron-molecule scattering

Differential cross sections for state-to-state rotationally inelastic electron-Na₂ scattering, with the molecule being in the vibrational levelv′'=31, are measured at a collision energy of 150 eV. Angular momentum transfer of up to Δj=26 is observed, which is even more than previously obtained for the vibrational ground statev′'=0. Good agreement is found with theoretical results from a spectator scattering model. This work, in general, elucidates the role of vibrational excitation in collision dynamics under vibrationally sudden conditions.     

The determination of intrinsic reaction coordinates by density functional theory

The first implementation of the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC ) method within the density functional theory (DFT ) framework is presented. The implementation has been applied to four different types of chemical reactions represented by the isomerization process, HCN ? HNC (A); the S_N2 process, H^? + CH₄ ? CH₄ + H^? (B); the exchange process, H˙ + HX ? HX + H˙ (X ? F,Cl) (C); and the elimination process, C₂H₅Cl ? C₂H₄ + HCl (D). The present study presents for each process optimized structures and calculated harmonic vibrational frequencies for the reactant(s), the transition state, and the product(s) along with the IRC path connecting the stationary points. The calculations were carried out within the local density approximation (LDA ) as well as the LDA/NL scheme where the LDA energy expression is augmented by Perdew's and Becke's nonlocal (NL ) corrections. The LDA and LDA/NL results are compared with each other as well as the best available ab initio calculations and experimental data. For reaction (D), ab initio calculations based on MP 2 geometries and MP 4SDTQ energies have been added due to the lack of accurate published post-HF calculations on this process. A detailed discussion is provided on the efficiency of the IRC algorithms, the relative accuracy of the DFT and ab initio schemes, as well as the reaction mechanisms of the four reactions. It is concluded that the LDA/NL scheme affords the same accuracy as does the MP 4 method. The post-HF methods seem to overestimate activation energies, whereas the corresponding LDA/NL estimates are too low. The LDA activation energies are even lower than the LDA/NL counterparts. The incorporation of the IRC method into the DFT framework provides a promising and reliable tool for probing the chemical reaction path on the potential energy surfaces, even for large-size systems. IRC calculations by ab initio methods of an accuracy similar to the LDA/NL scheme, such as the MP 4 scheme, are not feasible. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Alkylierung ambidenter Heterocyclen-Anionen, 1. Mitt.: Über die Benzylierung des 4-Hydroxy-carbostyrils

Zusammenfassung 4-Hydroxy-carbostyrile (1a–c) werden mit Benzylchlorid inDMF bevorzugt zu den 4-Benzyloxy-carbostyrilen (2a–c) alkyliert. In wäßr. NaOH dagegen erhält man aus1a und1c als Hauptprodukt das 3,3-Dibenzyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrochinolin (3).

Alkylation of 4-hydroxy-quinol-2-ones (1a–c) with benzyl chloride inDMF in the presence of K₂CO₃ mainly gives the 4-benzylethers2a–c. However, carbon dialkylation takes place in aqueous NaOH and the main product of the reaction between benzylchloride and1a is 3.3-dibenzyl-2.4-dioxo-1.2.3.4-tetrahydro-quinoline3.
