Ozone production in oxygen by means of F2-laser irradiation at λ=157.6 nm

Maskierung mit Kaliumjodid bei direkten Titrationen von Kupfer(II) mit Äthylendiamintetraessigsäure

Zusammenfassung Die Jodidoxydation durch Cu(II) wird in Anwesenheit von Ammoniak, Natriumtartrat, citrat oder -oxalat infolge Komplexbildung verhindert. Daher kann man z. B. Quecksüber(II) in Anwesenheit der genannten Komplexbildner mit Kaliumjodid maskieren und Kupfer(II) durch direkte Titration mit ÄDTA gegen Murexid, Brenzcatechinviolett, Chromazurol S, PAN oder PAR als Indikator bestimmen.<hr><blockquote>Masking with potassium iodide in direct titrations of copper(II) with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid</blockquote><blockquote>Summary The formation of a complex prevents the iodide oxidation by Cu(II) in the presence of ammonia, sodium tartrate, citrate, or oxalate. Hence mercury(II) for instance, can be masked against potassium iodide in the presence of these complex formers, and Cu(II) can be determined by direct titration with EDTA in the presence of murexide, pyrocatechol violet, chromazurol, PAN or PAR as indicator.</blockquote>     

Photophysical properties of borondipyrromethene analogues in solution

The photophysical properties of seven new 8-(p-substituted)phenyl analogues of 4,4-difluoro-3,5-dimethyl-8-(aryl)-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (derivatives of the well-known fluorophore BODIPY) in several solvents have been studied by means of absorption and steady-state and time-resolved fluorimetry. For each compound, the fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime are lower in solvents with higher polarity owing to an increase in the rate of nonradiative deactivation. Increasing the electron withdrawing strength of the p-substituent on the phenyl group in position 8 also leads to lower fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes. When the p-substituent on the phenyl group in position 8 is a tertiary amine [8-(4-piperidinophenyl), 8-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl), and 8-(4-morpholinophenyl)], the low quantum yields of these compounds in more polar solvents can be rationalized by the inversion of the energy levels of an apolar, highly fluorescent and a polar, nonfluorescent excited state, where charge transfer from the tertiary amine to the BODIPY unit occurs. These amine analogues can be protonated at low pH in aqueous solution. Fluorescence titrations yielded pK(a) values of their conjugate ammonium salts which are in agreement with the electron donating tendency of the amine group: piperidino (4.15) > dimethylamino (2.37) > morpholino (1.47), with the pK(a) values in parentheses. The rate constant of radiative deactivation (k(f)) is the same for all compounds in all solvents studied (k(f) = 1.4 x 10(8) s(-1)).     

Z/E-photoisomerizations of olefins with 4npi- or (4n + 2)pi-electron substituents: zigzag variations in olefin properties along the T(1) state energy surfaces

[Figure: see text]. A quantum chemical study has been performed to assess changes in aromaticity along the T1 state Z/E-isomerization pathways of annulenyl-substituted olefins. It is argued that the point on the T1 energy surface with highest substituent aromaticity corresponds to the minimum. According to Baird (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1972, 94, 4941), aromaticity and antiaromaticity are interchanged when going from S0 to T1. Thus, olefins with S0 aromatic substituents (set A olefins) will be partially antiaromatic in T1 and vice versa for olefins with S0 antiaromatic substituents (set B olefins). Twist of the C=C bond to a structure with a perpendicular orientation of the 2p(C) orbitals (3p*) in T1 should lead to regaining substituent aromaticity in set A and loss of aromaticity in set B olefins. This hypothesis is verified through quantum chemical calculations of T1 energies, geometries (bond lengths and harmonic oscillator measure of aromaticity), spin densities, and nucleus independent chemical shifts whose differences along the T1 PES display zigzag dependencies on the number of -electrons in the annulenyl substituent of the olefin. Aromaticity changes are reflected in the profiles of the T1 potential energy surfaces (T1 PESs) for Z/E-isomerizations because olefins in set A have minima at 3p* whereas those in set B have maxima at such structures. The proper combination (fusion) of the substituents of set A and B olefins could allow for design of novel optical switch compounds that isomerize adiabatically with high isomerization quantum yields.     

Lamellar Organo-Bridged Silicones

The acid-hydrolysis of an organo-bridged bisdiethoxysilylated molecular precursor bearing urea groups, (EtO)<sub>2</sub>MeSi(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>NHCONH(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>12</sub>NHCONH(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>SiMe(OEt)<sub>2</sub>, has been performed in pure aqueous medium. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the resulting insoluble solid revealed plate-like forms with a lamellar structure as determined by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies with a sharp peak at 28.5 Å. The solid state <sup>29</sup>Si MAS-NMR spectrum of this bridged siloxane hybrid is consistent with a moderately condensed material with complete preservation of the Si–C bonds throughout the hybrid network. In comparison, the classical sol–gel hydrolysis-condensation of the molecular precursor in ethanol with stoichiometric amount of water and fluoride anion as catalyst produced an amorphous featureless solid.     

Gas-phase ion/molecule reactions between dimethoxyphosphonium ions and aromatic hydrocarbons

Ion/molecule reactions between O=P(OCH(3))(2)(+) phosphonium ions and six aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, naphthalene, acenaphthylene and fluorene) were performed in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. The O=P(OCH(3))(2)(+) phosphonium ions, formed by electron impact from neutral trimethyl phosphite, were found to react with aromatic hydrocarbons (ArHs) to give (i) an adduct [ArH, O=P(OCH(3))(2)](+) and (ii) for ArHs which have an ionization energy below or equal to 8.14 eV, a radical cation ArH(+ *) by charge transfer reaction. Collision-induced dissociation experiments, which produce fragment ions other than the O=P(OCH(3))(2)(+) ions, indicate that the adduct ions are covalent species. Isotope-labeled ArHs were used to elucidate fragmentation mechanisms. The charge transfer reactions were investigated using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311 + G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. The potential energy surface obtained from B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculations for the reaction between O=P(OCH(3))(2)(+) and benzene is described.

Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß von Atmosphäre, Aufheizungsgeschwindigkeit und Spülgasgeschwindigkeit auf die thermische Zersetzung von Alkalibenzolsulfonaten wurde untersucht. Kristallwassergehalt, Dehydratations-temperatur und -wärme, gegebenenfalls die Zusammensetzung, Art, Temperatur und Wärme der Modifikationsänderungen, Schmelzpunkte und Schmelzwärmen der Verbindungen wurden bestimmt. Die Zersetzung verläuft in zwei Abschnitten. In dem ersten Hauptteil entstehen in Inertgasatmosphäre Diphenyloxid, Diphenyl, Diphenylsulfon, Benzol, Phenol, Thiophenol, Diphenylsulfid, Thiantren, Diphenylenoxid und wahrscheinlich Diphenylensulfid, weiterhin Koks, Schwefeldioxid, Natriumsulfit und wenig Natriumsulfat, Natriumsulfid, Acetylen und Wasser. Im zweiten Hauptzersetzungsvorgang entstehen Natriumsulfid und Kohlenoxid. Die Produkte wurden isoliert und analysiert.

Magnetic resonance study of (GdxY1−x)Co2 compounds

The results of magnetic resonance studies on ferrimagnetic (Gd<sub><em>x</em></sub>Y<sub>1?<em>x</em></sub>)Co<sub>2</sub> compounds, both below and above the Curie points, are presented. The ferrimagnetic resonance measurements show that the effective <em>g</em> values can be described by using the Wangsness relation. The spectroscopic splitting factors of cobalt atoms are not composition dependent. In the paramagnetic range the thermal variation of the linewidth is not linear and the <em>g</em> values are a function of temperature. This behavior is analyzed in correlation with the magnetic data.
