Synthesis and Structure of Triphenylbismuth Bis(Fluorobenzoates)

The reaction between triphenylbismuth, hydrogen peroxide, and 3,4,5-trifluorobenzoic or pentafluorobenzoic acid (molar ratio 1 : 1 : 2, respectively) in ether gave triphenylbismuth bis(3,4,5-trifluorobenzoate) (I) and triphenylbismuth bis(pentafluorobenzoate) (II) in 74 and 89% yields, respectively. The structures of compounds I and II were established by X-ray diffraction. The Bi atoms have a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination with acylate groups in the axial positions. The OBiO angles are 170.2(2)° and 171.5(2)° in I and II, respectively. The Bi–C(Ph)_eq bond lengths vary in the range of 2.187(6)–2.204(5) Å, the Bi–O(acyl) lengths are 2.256(5) Å in I, and 2.281(5) and 2.318(5) Å in II. In the crystals I and II, the Bi and carbonyl O atoms are involved in intramolecular interactions (Bi···O(=C) 2.926(5)–3.176(5) Å), which increase the equatorial CBiC angles on the side of these contacts to 136.2(3)° and 138.6(2)° in I and II, respectively.     

Study of the cerium(IV)-picrate system in acetonitrile

A potentiometric and spectrophotometric study has been made of the reaction between hexanitratocerate and picrate in dry acetonitrile. Several cerium(IV)-picrate complexes are formed; the formation constant for the first is estimated to be 4 from spectrophotometric measurements. The catalytic effect of picrate on hydroquinone oxidation by nitratocerate is postulated to be due to more rapid electron transfer by cerium picrate complexes.     

Excess molar enthalpy of binary mixtures of hexane+ethyl benzene, <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-xylene, <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-xylene and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-xylene at 298.15 K

Summary This paper reports excess molar enthalpies of the binary systems hexane+ethyl benzene, hexane+o-xylene, hexane+m-xylene and hexane+p-xylene at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, over the whole composition range. The data was measured directly using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The excess magnitude was correlated to a Redlich-Kister type equation for each mixture. Also, we will discuss the results for the four mixtures studied here and by comparison with the same binary systems but containing propyl propanoate as first component. Finally, we will correlate our results with the Nitta-Chao and the three UNIFAC theoretical approximations.     

Effects of structural transformations in magnetic emulsions

Structural transformations and relevant changes in the magnetic and optical properties of magnetosensitive emulsions based on magnetic fluids are experimentally studied. Peculiarities of the changes in the magnetic susceptibility of emulsions associated with the deformation of their microdroplets and the effect of phase inversion (the transformation of dispersions of magnetic droplets in nonmagnetic media into dispersions of nonmagnetic droplets in magnetic fluids) are established. Optical effects occurring in magnetic emulsions under the combined action of a shear flow and a magnetic field are studied. It is concluded that optically active composition media may be developed on the basis of magnetic fluids.     

New approach to synthesis of aromatic N-phenyl-substituted polyamides

It is shown that polyimidates obtained by polycondensation of bisphenols with imidoyl chlorides may be transformed into N-phenylsubstituted aromatic polyamides. The rearrangement occurs as a result of heating at 260–340°C, and, in a diphenyl ether solution, at 240°C. The resulting polymers are soluble in organic solvents and demonstrate high thermooxidative stability.     

Structural relationships in close-packed AB2O4 oxides involving spinel,olivine, and hexagonal LiFeSnO4 structures

Close-packed structures with formula AB₂O₄ were studied in terms of polyhedra arrangement. The junction between octahedral layers (kagome) and mixed (octahedral and tetrahedral) layers were analyzed; this association allows one to determine two types of double layers whose packing leads to three closely related structural types: spinel, double-hexagonal LiFeSnO₄, and a hypothetical hexagonal structure. Olivine structure shows a polyhedral arrangement closely related to those of these three structures and can be described alike in terms of mixed layers and double layers. AB₂O₄ close-packed oxides can exhibit polymorphism; from this analysis a mechanism, involving geometrical operations applied to the double layers, is proposed for the different transitions, really observed as (DH) LiFeSnO₄ spinel and olivine-spinel or theoretical as (DH) LiFeSnO₄—hypothetical hexagonal and olivine—hypothetical hexagonal.

Summary Two methods for the extractive separation of uranium from a number of ions are described. The extraction is from a solution containing sulfuric acid by means of N-benzylaniline or N-butylanilin, dissolved in chloroform. After reextraction with water, there follows the quantitative determination with PAR.

     

Pars-Orbital-Methode (PO-MO), 2. Mitt.: Anwendung der Charakterordnungen aufDiels—Alder-Reaktionen

Zusammenfassung Die p-LokalisierungsenergieL _p nachBrown wird als Maß derDiels—Alder-Reaktivität in Beziehung gesetzt zu den Äthylen-, Butadien- und Benzol-Charakterordnungen . Bei Angriff an peripherencisoiden C₄-Einheiten des Moleküls fälltL _p erwartungsgemäß mit _dienoid und steigt mit den anderen Charakterordnungen. Werden innerhalb eines einzigen Benzolrings nur sekundäre C-Atome angegriffen, so steigtL _p mit allen Charakterordnungen, werden hingegen auch tertiäre C-Atome miterfaßt, fälltL _p mit allen Charakterordnungen. Dieser Hinweis auf wahrscheinliche Reaktionsmechanismen zeigt neuerlich die Signifikanz dieser Reaktionsindices.

Brown's p-localization energy as a measure for theDiels—Alder-reactivity is correlated to ethylene-, butadiene- and benzene-character orders. If the molecule is attacked at periphericcisoidic C₄-units,L _p decreases with _dienoid and increases with the other 's, as expected. If in the reaction only secondary C-atoms of a single benzene ring are involved,L _p increases with all character orders, but if tertiary C-atoms are also involved,L _p decreases with the character orders. This hint of probable reaction mechanism shows once again the significance of these new indices of reactivity.

Synthesis and Heterocyclization of 3-Arylaminothiocrotonanilides

Reactions of acetylthioacetanilide with arylamines in acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate give 3-arylaminothiocrotonanilides in good yields. When treated with -bromoacetophenone in acetone, these products are converted to substituted 4-hydroxy-²-thiazolinium bromides, one of which was dehydrated to obtain the corresponding thiazolium bromide. The structure of the heterocyclization products was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR study of 2-acetonylidene-3,4-diphenyl-2,3-dihydrothiazole formed by dehydration of the corresponding ²-thiazolinium salt with simultaneous hydrolysis.
