POLYMER-SUPPORTED LEWIS ACID CATALYSTS. Ⅵ. POLYSTYRENE-BONDED STANNIC CHLORIDE CATALYST

A polystyrene-bonded stannic chloride catalyst was synthesized by the method of lithium polystyryl combined with stannic chloride. This catalyst is a polymeric organometallic compound containing 0.25 mmol Sn (Ⅳ)/g catalyst. The catalyst showed sufficient stability and catalytic activity in organic reaction such as esterification, acetalation and ketal formation, and it could be reused many times without losing its catalytic activity.     

Dynamic molecular recognition in the generation of a new crystal-engineering motif: a unique case study of a dicarboxylic acid with a ditopic receptor favouring a polymeric over a dimeric hydrogen-bonded supramolecular complex

A new crystal-engineering motif has been developed where a ditopic receptor 1 shows a novel syn-syn hydrogen-bonded polymeric supramolecular complex (Fig. 4b) (instead of a 1:1 dimeric syn-syn or polymeric syn-anti complex) giving rise to a hydrogen-bonded stair-like polymeric ribbon structure between the binding groups of the receptor pyridine amide and the carboxyl groups of the guest substrate.     

Bestimmung der organischen Bestandteile von Aerosolpartikeln aus Reinluft

Zusammenfassung Das für die Untersuchung der organischen Bestandteile von Reinluft-Aerosolteilchen entwickelte Analysenverfahren beruht auf der Kombination von klassischen Trennmethoden mit Verfahren der Dünnschicht- und der Gas-Chromatographie bzw. der Gas-Chromatographie/Massenspektrometrie. Im Gegensatz zu älteren Verfahren werden alle vorkommenden organischen Verbindungen, soweit sie äther-löslich sind bzw. in eine äther-lösliche Form überführt werden können, erfaßt. Die verfahrensbedingten Substanzverluste sind so gering, daß schon 100 mg Aerosolteilchen ausreichend sind für die Analyse der organischen Bestandteile (bei ca. 10% organischer Substanz). Ein Anwendungsbeispiel für das Analysenverfahren wird gegeben. Best. von Organ. Substanzen in Luft; Chromatographie, Dünnschicht/Chromatographie, Gas/Massenspektrometrie; Aerosolbestandteile in Reinluft.

Determination of the organic constituents of aerosol particles from clean air

The method developed for analysing the organic matter of atmospheric particles from clean air is based on the combination of classical separation procedures and thinlayer chromatography together with gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, respectively. In contrast to methods published earlier, all organic compounds present can be detected (if they are or can be converted to compounds soluble in ether). The loss of organic matter inherent in the analytical procedure is small enough to allow the determination of the organic constituents of 100 mg of aerosol particles (with about 10% organic matter). An example for the application of the analytical method is presented.

     

Conductance of potassium lodide in mixed solvents

The conductance of potassium iodide has been measured in the solvents ethylene carbonate, water, methyl ethyl ketone, and pairwise mixtures of these solvents at 40°C; and ethylene carbonate-water, tetramethylene sulfone-water, dimethyl sulfoxide-water, tetrahydrofuran-water, ethylene carbonate-tetramethylene sulfone-water, ethylene carbonate-tetramethylene sulfone, and tetrahydrofuran-dimethyl sulfoxide at 25°C. For dielectric constants greater than about 60, the pairing constants K_A are in the range 0.3–2.0; no correlation between K_A and solvent properties could be established. For lower dielectric constants, K_A increases exponentially with decreasing dielectric constant. Addition of a proton, acceptor to water initially decreases K_A regardless of whether the dielectric constant of the mixture is higher or lower than that of water, suggesting that ion pairs in water may be stabilized by cage structures. The Walden product A_o is also decreased by the addition of proton acceptors.

Quantitative Bestimmung der Catechine und Hydroxyzimts?uren in pflanzlichen Lebensmitteln

Zusammenfassung Die Problematik der Bestimmung von Catechinen und Hydroxyzimtsäuren in pflanzlichen Lebensmitteln wird diskutiert und gezeigt, daß es notwendig ist, eine ausreichende Vorreinigung (Säulen-Chromatographie an Polyamid und Dünnschicht-Chromatographie an Cellulose bzw. Kieselgel) mit einem geeigneten Bestimmungsverfahren (Spektralphotometrie mit Vanillin/Salzsäure bzw. direkt) zu kombinieren. Beispiele werden beschrieben.Plenarvortrag anläßlich der Tagung Spurenanalyse, 2.–5. April 1973 in Erlangen.

Redox troponization as a novel method for the synthesis of stereoisomeric Eschenmoser's oximes and related non-benzenoid aromatic systems

A novel method for the synthesis of the oxime of 4-methyl-2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one (Eschenmoser's oxime) is proposed. The method involves redox enlargement of the ring of 4-dibromomethyl-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one oxime through the action of Ni(PPh₃)₄ in DMF (in the presence of Zn). The product is formed as a mixture ofsyn- andanti-forms readily interconverting in solutions. A similar reaction of 4-methyl-4-trichloromethyl-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one oxime afforded the dimer of agem--centered semiquinoid carbene (1,2-bis-(1-methyl-4-oxyimino-2,5-cyclohexadienyl)-1,2-dichloroethylene), together withsyn- andanti-isomers of 4-chloro-5-methyl-2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one oxime, which are readily separable but also quickly interconverting in solutions. For the latter compounds, the complete¹H NMR assignment of the stereoisomeric structures has been carried out.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Binding of hexacyanoferrate(II) by aliphatic amines in aqueous solution

The stability of hexacyanoferrate(II)-amine(methylamine, ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine and tetraethylenepentamine) was determined potentiometrically. Species Fe(CN)₆(A)H _j ^(j–4) (A=amine) are formed in all the systems investigated, with j=1...n+2 (n=number of aminogroups). Some other complexes Fe(CN)₆(A)_iH_j (with i>1) were also found. The stability of these complexes is fairly high: the full protonated amine species, show for the reaction Fe(CN)₆ ^4- + H_nAⁿ⁺ = Fe(CN)₆(A)H_n ^(n-4) an equilibrium constant given by logK=0.686+2.10n. Factors affecting the stability are discussed in comparison with similar systems, together with the importance of interferences.     

Bilayer studies in mixedn-decanol/n-tetradecanol complexes ofn-decylammonium beidellite

Complexes have been prepared by treatment ofn-decylammonium beidellite with mixtures ofn-decanol andn-tetradecanol with different concentrations. Measurements of the basal spacings of the obtained complexes have been performed in a wide range of temperatures. Three different bilayer phases have been established between (20 and 70°C: the _i(C₁₀) phases (=bilayers ofn-decyl chains); the _i(C₁₀/C₁₄) phases (=mixed bilayers ofn-decyl andn-tetradecyl chains in molar ratio approximately 1:1) and the _i(C₁₄) phases (=bilayer ofn-tetradecy 1 chains with then-decylammonium ions included). In all bilayer phases the chains stand perpendicular to the silicate interfaces. In definite concentration ranges two of the phases coexist, i.e., miscibility gaps occur, which disappear at temperatures higher than the temperature of the _i/ transition. The miscibility gaps are reversible with temperature. The composition of the intercalated bilayers has been studied by HPLC of the excess alkanol mixture separated from the beidellite complexes after the equilibrium has been reached. There is preferential adsorption of one of two alkanols from the mixture, which is in agreement with the observed miscibility gaps. The space filling problem as well as the structure of the three bilayer phases observed have been discussed.
