The neutral ethynyl compounds Br-Al(C triplebond CtBu)(2).2 THF (4), Cl-Ga(C triplebond CtBu)(2).THF (5), Cl-In(C triplebond CtBu)(2).2 THF (6), Al(C triplebond CtBu)(3).C[N(Me)CMe](2) (7), Ga(C triplebond CtBu)(3).dioxane (8), and In(C triplebond CtBu)(3).NEt(3) (9) have been obtained in good yields from the reaction of AlBr(3), GaCl(3), and InCl(3) with LiC triplebond CtBu in the presence of a Lewis base. Compound 7 is the first heterocyclic carbene substituted ethynyl derivative. Aluminum and gallium compounds with three terminal ethynyl groups Al(C triplebond CPh)(3).NMe(3) (10) and Ga(C triplebond CPh)(3).NMe(3) (11) have been prepared by the reaction of AlH(3).NMe(3) or GaH(3).NMe(3) with three equivalents of phenylethyne. All the above-mentioned compounds have been structurally studied. In compound 1 the lithium ion is coordinated to the three terminal ethynyl groups, whereas in compounds 2 and 3 the lithium is coordinated to the solvent (dioxane). Compound 8 crystallizes as a coordination polymer with dioxane molecules bridging the individual gallium units.

Chemical autocatalysis in the NO + CO reaction on Pt(100)

It is shown that the reaction between NO and CO on Pt(100) is autocatalytic and probably involves a surface species which accelerates the reaction. Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of co-adsorbed NO and CO yields complete reaction, with N₂ and CO₂ desorbing simultaneously in sharp peaks at ≈410 K. Isothermal desorption also yields rates characteristic of chemical autocatalysis.     

Ruthenium-catalyzed olefin metathesis double-bond isomerization sequence

A novel ruthenium-catalyzed tandem ring-closing metathesis (RCM) double-bond isomerization reaction is described in this paper. The utility of this method for the efficient syntheses of five-, six-, and seven-membered cyclic enol ethers is demonstrated. It relies on the conversion of a metathesis-active ruthenium carbene species to an isomerization-active ruthenium-hydride species in situ. This conversion is achieved by using various additives. Scope and limitations of the different protocols are discussed, and some mechanistic considerations based on (31)P and (1)H NMR spectroscopic studies are presented.     

What is the ‘Solvent’ effect on the electronic spectra of a solute in a polymer matrix?

The theory of solvent-induced shifts of the absorption and fluorescence band spectra of a solute is well known and has been tested for a multitude of systems. However, there are only few applications to polymers. By a direct comparison of the spectral shifts in liquid solvents with those in polymers it is possible to determine the microenvironment of the solutes in polymers within the frame of this theory. Polyethylene terephthalate as fabric and film was chosen as model polymer. The spectral shifts of 15 fluorescing solutes in this polymer as well as in 10 solvents with widely differing refractive indices n and permittivities ? were measured and fitted to the equations given by the theory of the solvent effect. It is found that interactions with the permanent dipoles of polyethylene terephthalate may be neglected within the limits of accuracy attainable for this polymer and the chosen solutes. Dispersion forces dominate the solvent effect. The refractive indices effective at the site of the solute molecules are n = 1.66 for the fabric and n = 1.70 for the film.

121Sb-Mössbauer-Spektren von Antimon(V)-Verbindungen. III

¹²¹Sb Mössbauer Spectra of Antimony (V) Compounds. III The Mössbauer resonance effect of ¹²¹Sb has been studied in the antimony(V) compounds I–VI. Isomer shift and quadrupole splitting variations are considered in the light of results of vibrational spectroscopy and in part of X-ray data. The antimony iodine azides II and IV , respectively, were obtained by reactions of R₃Sb (R = CH₃, C₆H₅) with iodine azide.     

Comparison of small metal clusters: Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au

Structures of small clusters of Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, and Au with n=2–34 and n=55 atoms are calculated as functions of number of atoms and temperature by the simulated annealing Monte Carlo method using an embedded atom potential.     

An EPR study of the triplet state of pentacene by electron spin-echo techniques and laser flash excitation

By combining the electron spin-echo technique with pulsed-laser excitation we have been able to perform an EPR study of the very short-lived (≈ 30 μs) triplet state of pentacene in naphthalene. We have obtained the orientation of the pentacene molecule in the naphthalene host crystal, the zero-field splitting parameters, and the kinetic properties of the triplet spin levels.     

Effect of Glass Substrates on the Formation of Gold-Silver Colloids in Nanocomposite Thin Films

A sol-gel route to synthesize nanocomposite thin films containing phase separated metal colloids of gold (Au) and silver (Ag) was developed. Ag—Au colloids were prepared in silica films using dip coating technique. The annealing of the samples in air results in the formation of phase separated Ag and Au colloids in SiO₂ thin films, showing the surface plasmon peaks at 410 nm and 528 nm. For the synthesis of phase separated Ag and Au colloids on float glass substrates, formation of the silver colloids was found strongly dependent on the surface of the float glass. On the tin rich surface formation of both gold and silver colloids took place, whereas, on the tin poor surface the formation of only gold colloids was observed. The surface dependence of the formation of silver colloids was attributed to the presence of tin as Sn²⁺ state on the glass surface, which oxidizes into Sn⁴⁺ during heat treatment, reducing Ag⁺ into silver colloids.
