Application of significant structures theory to amorphous polyethylene

The thermodynamic properties of amorphous polyethylene are calculated from a model based on the method of significant structures. The motion of a molecule as a whole is described by the motion of segments, each segment moving independently of all others. It is assumed that on melting, holes appear in the solid lattice and the segments can move into these vacancies, obtaining some gaslike degrees of freedom. The complete frequency distribution for polyethylene is used for the solidlike degrees of freedom, while a corrected classical partition function is used for the gaslike degrees of freedom. The calculated thermodynamic properties are in reasonable agreement with experimentally determined values, assuming each gaslike segment to consist of 20 CH₂ groups.     

Darstellung,Kristallstruktur und spektroskopische Eigenschaften der Clusteranionen [(Mo6Br)X]2− mit Xa = F,Cl, Br,I

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of the Cluster Anions [(Mo₆Br )X ]^2? with X^a = F, Cl, Br, I The tetrabutylammonium (TBA), tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) and tetraphenylarsonium (TPAs) salts of the octa-μ₃-bromo-hexahalogeno-octahedro-hexamolybdate(2?) anions [(Mo₆Br)X]^2? (X^a = F, Cl, Br, I) are synthesized from solutions of the free acids H₂[(Mo₆Br)X] · 8 H₂O with X^a = Cl, Br, I. The crystal structures show systematic stretchings in the Mo? Mo bond length and a slight compression of the Brⁱ₈ cube in the F^a to I^a series. The cations do not change much. The i.r. and Raman spectra show at 10 K almost constant frequencies of the (Mo₆Brⁱ₈) cluster vibrations, whereas all modes with X^a ligand contribution are characteristically shifted. The most important bands are assigned by polarization measurements and the force constants are derived from normal coordinate analysis. The ⁹⁵Mo nmr signals are shifted to lower field with increasing electronegativity of the X^a ligands. The fluorine compound shows a sharp ¹⁹F nmr singlet at ?184.5 ppm.     

Die Reaktion von Tellurhexafluorid mit Trimethylamin,Strukturen der TeF5−- und SeF5−-Anionen

Reaction of Telluriumhexafluoride and Trimethylamine, Structures of the TeF₅^? and SeF₅^? Anions The reaction of TeF₆ and (CH₃)₃N is of the redox kind, resulting in reduction of tellurium: X-ray single crystal analysis reveals the compounds (CH₃)₂N? CH₂? N(CH₃)₂⁺TeF₅^? and [(CH₃)₃NH⁺]₅(TeF₅^?)₃(HF₂^?)₂. By comparison with published data it can be shown that this mixture is identical to previously published [(CH₃)₃N]₂TeF₆. The latter was supposed to be one of the few examples of tellurium in a coordination state of eight. (CH₃)₄N⁺TeF₅^? and (CH₃)₄N⁴SeF₅^? are obtained and their structure is investigated by single crystal x-ray methods also. The anions SF₅^?, SeF₅^? and TeF₅^? are discussed in terms of weak interactions.     

Zur Synthese sulfonierter Derivate von 2,3-Dimethylanilin und 3,4-Dimethylanilin

On the Synthesis of Sulfonated Derivatives of 2,3-Dimethylaniline and 3,4-Dimethylaniline Baking the hydrogensulfate salt of 2,3-dimethylaniline ( 1 ) or of 3,4-dimethylaniline ( 2 ) led to 4-amino-2,3-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 4 ) and 2-amino-4,5-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 5 ), respectively (Scheme 1). The sulfonic acid 5 was also obtained by treatment of 2 with sulfuric acid or by reaction of 2 with amidosulfuric acid. 3-Amino-4,5-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 3 ) and 5-Amino-2,3-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 6 ) were prepared by sulfonation of 1,2-dimethyl-3-nitrobenzene ( 9 ) to 3,4-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid ( 11 ) and of 1,2-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene ( 10 ) to 2,3-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid ( 12 ), respectively, with subsequent Béchamp reduction (Scheme 1). Preparations of 2-amino-3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 7 ) and of 6-amino-2,3-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 8 ) were achieved by the sulfur dioxide treatment of the diazonium chlorides derived from 3,4-dimethyl-2-nitroaniline ( 24 ) and from 2,3-dimethyl-6-nitroaniline ( 31 ) to 3,4-dimethyl-2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride ( 29 ) and 2,3-dimethyl-6-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride ( 32 ), respectively, followed by hydrolysis to 3,4-dimethyl-2-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid ( 30 ) and 2,3-dimethyl-6-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid ( 33 ), and final reduction (Scheme 3). Compound 7 was also synthesized by reaction of 4-chloro-2,3-dimethylaniline ( 23 ) with amidosulfuric acid to 2-amino-5-chloro-3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 20 ) and subsequent hydrogenolysis (Scheme 2). 4′-Bromo-2′, 3′-dimethyl-acetanilide ( 13 ) and 4′-chloro-2′, 3′-dimethyl-acetanilide ( 14 ) on treatment with oleum yielded 5-acetylamino-2-bromo-3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 17 ) and 5-acetylamino-2-chloro-3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 18 ), respectively. Their structures were proven by hydrolysis to 5-amino-2-bromo-3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 21 ) and 5-amino-2-chloro-3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid ( 22 ), followed by reductive dehalogenation to 3 .     

Dimetallic Complexes with Bridging Seven-membered Cycloolefins. Synthesis,Multinuclear NMR.-Spectroscopic Properties and Structure

The synthesis of dimetallic olefin complexes of the type L¹M¹C₇H₇M²L² (M¹ = Fe, Co, Rh; M² = Rh, Ir, Pd; L¹ = CO, C₅H₅; L² = diene, allyl, P(OR)₃) is described. The fluxional structures were investigated by ¹³C-, ⁵⁷Fe- and ¹⁰³Rh-NMR.-spectroscopy, and a cisoid dimetallic coordination, including a (metal, metal)-bond, can be deduced for the C₇H₇-ring. ⁵⁷Fe- and ¹⁰³Rh-chemical shifts give indications for the charge distribution in the 34e-complexes. The homodimetallic complex (Cp)Rh(tropone)Rh(Cp) ( 13 , Cp = cyclopentadienyl) and the corresponding 2-methoxytropone complex 14 were synthesized in addition to the above mentioned complexes. A fluxional bis(1-3-η-allyl)-coordination of the two Rh-atoms was derived from the temperature-dependent ¹³C-NMR.-spectra. A spin simulation of the (Cp)-multiplets of 12 and 13 yields information about (Rh, Rh)-spin-coupling which amounts to ≈5 Hz at 30°.     

Does CH prefer a C2v rather than a Cs structure?

The closely related C_s ( 1 ) and C_2v ( 3 ) structures of CH have been reinvestigated at many ab initio levels using MP2/6-31G** and MP2/6-311 + + G(2df, 2pd) geometries. The largest basis sets employed were 6-311G(3df, 2p), 6-311 + + G(3df, 3pd), and the Dunning “correlation consistent” polarized triple-split valence basis set (cc-pVTZ). Electron correlation was probed at the MP4 level, but the QCISD method was also used with the largest basis sets. While electron correlation favors 3 over 1 by about 2 kcal/mol, the correlated relative energies with all basis sets employed range from 0.36–1.03 kcal/mol in favor of 1 . The best estimate of this difference, 0.86 kcal/mol, is essentially identical with the (scaled) zero-point energy difference, 0.84 kcal/mol, favoring 3 over 1 . These results indicate that 1 and 3 have almost exactly the same energy at 0 K. Our best value for the dissociation energy of CH is 42.0 kcal/mol [QCISD(T)/6-311 + + G(3df, 3pd)//MP2(fu)/6-311 + + G(2df, 2pd), corrected to 298 K], which agrees very well with the experimental value. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

The Intrusion of the Meissen Pluton (Elbe Valley-Zone): Evidence from Geochemical and Isotopic Data

Abstract

Geochemical and mineralogical investigations of plutonic rocks from the Meiβen massif indicate different magmatic evolution trends of the Freital sequence as well as for the central part of the complex Constant ε-Nd_T-345 values of ?1.5 of the Freital sequence and major/trace element data point to a fractional crystallization process. Based on ε-Nd values, ¹⁴⁷Sm/¹⁴⁴Nd ratios as well as on geochemical data affinities to alkali basalts cannot be excluded.

Analogous conclusions have been drawn regarding mineral chemical data [10] and cathodoluminescence spectra of apatite [13]. Assimilation of old continental crust, reflected by relics of apatite and zircon, may be the reason that the ε-Nd values plot at the lower end of the “mantle array”. The pyroxene-monzodiorite from Gröba belongs to the same source environment as the Freital sequence (Nd-characteristics).

The geological evolution of the central part of the studied plutonic complex is completely different to the Freital sequence: most of the intrusions show signatures of open system fractionation processes. The ε-Nd_T-345 value of ?1.46 of the Leuben monzonite indicates a narrow relation to the Freital sequence, whereas the ε-Nd_T-345 value of +2.27 of the Spitzgrund monzonite either reflects the derivation of another basic material then the Freital-type or the participation of other mixing component(s) from geologically young crust.

Fabric and mineral chemical investigations of the porphyry-like granite GII point to a mixing process of basic xenocrysts, resembling the corresponding minerals of the Freital sequence, and granite melts [10]. Large amounts of old zircon cores [11] indicate the inheritance of continental crust components by the Hauptgranit. Isotopic investigations on various granitic samples (GII, Hauptgranit and Riesensteingranit) reflect an increasing trend towards the crustal source(s) of their parental melts. The ε-Nd_T-345 values are ?3.75, ?4.16 and ?6.13, respectively.

Chemical parameters and the ε-Nd_T value of the Riesensteingranit agree with data of granites from the Saxonian Granulite Massif (see e.g. Wand et al. [8]; von Quadt, 1992). Thus, it may be possible that both granite types derived from similar sources.     

Mathematical Modeling of Tidal Effects in Groundwater

This paper presents a special use of the linear poroelasticity theory to describe tidally induced groundwater oscillations. Two models of oscillation inducing mechanism make use of this theory to predict groundwater level fluctuations. The numerical solutions of both models are presented and compared with well water level measurement obtained in Police Basin, north-east Bohemia.
