Cu4O12-Baugruppen aus planaren CuO4-Polygonen im Barium-Vanadyl-Oxocuprat(II)-phosphat Ba(VO)Cu4(PO4)4

Cu₄O₁₂ Groups Built of Square Planar CuO₄ Polygones in the Barium Vanadyl Oxocuprate(II) Phosphate Ba(VO)Cu₄(PO₄)₄ Single crystals of Ba(VO)Cu₄(PO₄)₄ have been prepared by solid state reactions just below the melting points of the reaction mixtures of BaP₂O₆, Cu₃(PO₄)₂, CuO, V₂O₅ and V₂O₃ in evacuated closed quartz glas tubes. The compound crystallizes with tetragonal symmetry, Space group D? P42₁2, a = 9.560(2), c = 7.160(2) Å, Z = 2. Special and new features of the crystal structure are to each other isolated Cu₄O₁₂ and (VO)(PO₄)₄ groups. The crystal chemistry of the Cu₄O₁₂ groups is discussed with respect to other compounds containing out of plane connected square planar MO₄ polygones.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde mit Hilfe des schon früher beschriebenen Quarzapparates Thoriumbromid aus reinem Thoroxyd dargestellt, das nach zwei verschiedenen Methoden gereinigt war und auf Grund spektroskopischer Untersuchung als absolut rein und frei von seltenen Erden angesehen werden mu\te.Das geschmolzene Thorbromid wurde nach zwei Methoden analysiert und dabei die beiden VerhÄltnisse ThBr₄4 Ag und ThBr₄4 AgBr bestimmt.Zwei unabhÄngige Serien von 12, respektive 15 Analysen gaben die folgenden Resultate:Serie I. 54·45867g Thorbromid verbrauchten 42·58666g Silber und gaben 74·13448g Silberbromid, entsprechend einem Atomgewicht des Thoriums Th=232·15±0·016.Serie II. 74·30630g Thorbromid verbrauchten 58·11096g Silber und gaben 101·15848g Silberbromid, woraus sich das Atomgewicht Th=232·12±0·014 berechnet.Als Mittel dieser beiden Werte ergibt sich Th=232·135.Da aber die Analysenserie aus den oben besprochenen, uns triftig erscheinenden Gründen als die zuverlÄssigere angesehen werden mu\, glauben wir, da\ der aus ihr resultierende WertTh=232·12 als das derzeit wahrscheinlichste Atomgewicht des Thoriums anzusehen ist, wenn Ag=107·880 angenommen wird. Aus dem in 27 Bestimmungen gefundenen VerhÄltnis von angewandtem Silber zu gefundenem Silberbromid, AgAgBr= 0·574453, ergibt sich dann das Atomgewicht des Broms zu Br=79·916 in vollster übereinstimmung mit der von Baxter seinerzeit gefundenen Zahl.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Hydronium-tris-ethylendiamin-cobalt(rhodium)-μ-trichloro-nonachlorotrirhenat(II)-chlorid,H3O[MEn3][Re3Cl12]Cl (M=Co,Rh)

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Hydronium-tris-ethylenediamine-cobalt(rhodium)-μ-trichloro-nonachlorotrirhenate(III)-chloride, H₃O[MEn₃][Re₃Cl₁₂]Cl (M=Co, Rh) The chlorides H₃O[MEn₃][Re₃Cl₁₂]CI (M = Co, 1 ; Rh, 2 ) crystallize from hydrochloric acid solutions of ReCl₃ and MEn₃ · 3H₂O as deep red hexagonal columns. They are isotypic and crystallize with the hexagonal system (P6 , Z = 1; 1: a = 1010.87(3); c = 794.30(4) pm, R = 0.023, R_w = 0.016; 2: a = 1018.58(3); c = 794.74(4) pm, R = 0.026, R_w = 0.018). The anions [Re₃Cl₁₂]^3? are connected via H₃O₊ cation (C.N. 3). The large channels that run in the [001] direction contain, alternatively, the cations [MEn₃]³⁺ and the lonesome Cl^?-anions     

Molecular mechanics of organic halides. III. Fluorinated olefins

A molecular mechanical force field for fluorinated ethylenes and propylenes is described. The field computes geometries, dipole moments, and energy differences between isomers and rotamers. Component analysis indicates that “classical” strains alone (skeletal, nonbonded, electrostatic) cannot account for energy relationships. The discussion is supplemented by a semiempirical quantum chemical comparison of cis- and trans-FCH?CHF and of gauche- and anti-FCH₂CH₂F.     

Nondigestible oligosaccharides as dietary fiber

An overview is presented of the most important oligosaccharides that are classified as dietary fiber. Their occurrence and structures as well as their various physiological effects are described. The scientific evidence for health effects, associated with these physiological effects, along with the applications in the food industry, are also discussed.

Coherence effects in low energy Na*(3p)+Na+ scattering: Experiment and semiclassical calculations

Pronounced polarization effects have been observed in inelastic collisions of laser state-prepared Na^*(3p,M _L) with Na⁺ leading to Na^*(3d) for the energy rangeE _CM=20–45 eV. Using linearly polarized light the dependence of the inelastic process on the alignment of the electronic charge cloud of the Na^*(3p) prior to the collision has been measured. In studies with left and right hand circularly polarized light the angular momentum transferred in the collision process has been determined. The results are compared with similar data for the 3p→3s deexitation process studied previously [6]. The density matrix of the Na^*(3p) state has been evaluated with respect to the collisional excitation to Na^*(3d). Semiclassical calculations based on the coupled channel impact parameter approximation using pseudopotentials [7] and nonadiabatic rotational coupling elements for the Na ₂ ^* system [12] have been performed. The agreement with the experimental results is good, in particular for the higher collision energies.
