Can mono- or di-butyltin chlorides produce tributyltin chloride at elevated temperatures? Implications for applications in chemical vapour deposition

The thermolysis of the butyltin chlorides at 200-300 °C in the liquid phase has been investigated by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. The stabilities follow the order: Bu₂SnCl₂ > Bu₃SnCl > BuSnCl₃. Only tributyltin chloride showed any evidence of redistribution, giving dibutyltin dichloride, together with metallic tin, butane, and but-1-ene, which would be formed by decomposition of tetrabutyltin. Dibutyltin dichloride decomposed to give mainly butane with no other apparent liquid organotin compound. Butyltin trichloride gave butane, some butene, and metallic tin, and showed no evidence of forming tributyltin chloride by the redistribution reaction, which would have environmental implications for its use in the CVD coating of glass.     

Theoretical study on intermolecular interactions in BrF/HnX adducts

Equilibrium geometries, interaction energies, and charge transfer for the intermolecular interactions between BrF and H_nX (HF, H₂O, and NH₃) were studied at the MP2/6-311++G(3d,3p) level. The halogen-bonded geometry and hydrogen-bonded geometry are observed in these interactions. The calculated interaction energies show that the halogen-bonded structures are more stable than the corresponding hydrogen-bonded structures. To study the nature of the intermolecular interactions, symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) calculations were carried out and the results indicate that the halogen bonding interactions are dominantly inductive energy in nature, while electrostatic energy governs the hydrogen bonding interactions.     

An electrochemically synthesized sulfonated polyaniline layer for positive charge carrier injection improvement in conjugated polymer devices

We report the use of sulfonated polyaniline, SPAN, as a positive charge transporting layer in organic electronic devices, demonstrating that it can be used to significantly improve injection into conjugated polymers. The introduction of an intermediate SPAN layer improves device rectification, even when low-work-function anode materials such as tin oxide are used.     

Synthesis, reactivity ratios and characterization of hydroquinone promoted CT co-polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate in a room temperature ionic liquid

For the first time, charge transfer (CT) co-polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate, promoted by hydroquinone (HQ) at various feed compositions, has been achieved in a hydrophobic ionic liquid. The co-polymers have been characterized for thermal and molecular weight properties. The molecular weights obtained for the co-polymers made in ionic liquid were found to be slightly lower than the corresponding polymers synthesized in conventional solvent. The reactivity ratios of the co-polymers have been computed and compared with conventional CT polymerization. The reactivity ratios of Sty-MMA indicate that the co-polymerization has a tendency to alternate and to produce a higher styrene content in the co-polymers. The numerical values of the inverse of r₁ and r₂ indicate that both monomer radicals have a distinct cross propagation tendency.     

Impact of Transition Metal Substituents on Polysilane Properties: Iron versus Ruthenium

Summary. The previously unknown ruthenio disilanes Rp–Si₂Me₄–C₆H₄X (Rp = η⁵-C₅H₅Ru(CO)₂; X = H, Br, –CHO, CH=C(CN)₂) were synthesized from ClSi₂Me₄C₆H₄X (X = H, Br) and Rp⁻ using conventional chemical methods. Trends in the UV/Vis absorption spectra indicate strong electronic coupling within the Rp–Si–Si–C_aryl fragment and, therefore, closely resemble the ones observed for the corresponding iron complexes. The four compounds however, were shown to be less sensitive towards UV irradiation. The crystal structure of Rp–Si₂Me₄–C₆H₄CH=C(CN)₂ was determined by X-ray diffraction and exhibits an all-trans-array of the Ru–Si–Si–C_aryl moiety, what is a basic requirement for optimal through-bond interaction.

Charge calculations in molecular mechanics. Part 8 Partial atomic charges from classical calculations

Summary The CHARGE2 programme, which involves the classical calculation of both the inductive and resonance contributions to the partial atomic charges in molecules is described, and the charges and electrostatic potentials obtained presented for some illustrative examples.In substituted methanes (CH₃X, CF₃X, CCl₃X) the effects of varying the electronegativity of the substituents and the - and -substituent contributions are clearly illustrated for a variety of substituent groups X.The problems involved in the inclusion of silicon into this scheme are detailed, together with the methods of overcoming them. The partial atomic charges ( and contributions) and electrostatic potentials for some silicon oxygen compounds are presented and discussed.The partial atomic charges from CHARGE2 for all the natural amino acids as their N-acetyl, N-methyl-amides are given and compared with those obtained from the AMBER and ECEPP/2 force fields. Considerable differences in these figures are observed, with the AMBER charges consistently much larger than those from the other two methods.The CHARGE2 partial atomic charges and electrostatic potentials for the four common nucleic acids, adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine, are given and compared with those derived from other calculations. Again there is general similarity but also there are considerable differences, with those from the AMBER force field somewhat larger than the other methods.For previous parts in this series, see Refs. 1-7.     

偶极积分与Boys法分子轨道定域化

定域分子轨道在分子体系的化学图象和物理图象之间充当重要的桥梁作用,它的产生依赖于定域化准则,其中最普遍使用的是Foster-Boys和Edmiston-Ruedenberg(E—R)提出的两种定域化准则。这两种定域化准则是等价的,因而结果也是一致的。但对于E—R定域化来说,由于涉及到大量的多中心积分的计算,计算极为费时,因而远不如Foster-Boys定

Interaction of the excited singlet state of 1,4- and 1,8-dimethoxynaphthalene with some organic compounds: A fluorescence-quenching study

Summary The fluoroescence quenching of 1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene (1) and 1,8-dimethoxynaphthalene (2) by tetraphenylporpyrin (3), 9,10-diphenylanthracene (4), and 3-cyano-4-phenyl-6-(p-tolyl)-pyridin-2-one (5) has been studied in chloroform solution. The quenching occursvia a resonance energy transfer mechanism. The rate constant for the energy transfer (k _ET) of donor2 is slower than that of1 by the same acceptors, indicating that the steric effect dominates the ionization potential effect in all systems. The calculated critical transfer distances (R ₀) are 17–72 Å. In contrast, charge transfer is the predominant pathway of electronic deexcitation in the fluorescence quenching of donors1 and2 by 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinone-dimethane (6) in chloroform. The roles of temperature and geometrical structure of the donors on the efficiency of fluorescence quenching of1 and2 by acceptor6 have also been studied.

Wechselwirkung des angeregten Singlett-Zustands von 1,4- und 1,8-Dimethoxynaphthalin mit einigen organischen Verbindungen: eine Untersuchung zur Fluoreszenzlöschung

Zusammenfassung Die Löschung der Fluoreszenz von 1,4-Dimethoxynaphthalin (1) und 1,8-Dimethoxynaphthalin (2) durch Tetraphenylporphyrin (3), 9,10-Diphenylanthracen (4) und 3-Cyano-4-phenyl-6-(p-tolyl)-pyridin-2-on (5) in Chloroform wurde untersucht. Die Löschung verläuft über einen Resonanzenergietransfermechanismus. Die Geschwindigkeitskonstante für den Energietransfer (k _ET) ist bei gleichem Akzeptor für den Donor2 niedriger als für1. Daraus läßt sich schließen, daß in allen untersuchten Systemen der sterische Effekt über den Effekt des Ionisierungspotentials dominiert. Die berechneten kritischen Transferdistanzen betragen 17–72 Å. Im Gegensatz zu diesen Beobachtungen verläuft der vorherrschende Relaxationsmechanismus bei der Fluoreszenzlöschung von1 und2 durch 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanochinon-dimethan (6) über einencharge-transfer-Prozeß. Die Einflüsse von Temperatur und Geometrie der Verbindungen auf die Effizienz der Fluoreszenzlöschung von1 und2 durch den Akzeptor6 wurden ebenfalls untersucht.
