Novelties of solid-liquid phase transfer catalysed synthesis of p-toluenesulfonyl fluoride from p-toluenesulfonyl chloride

Organic sulfonyl fluorides are of interest owing to their insecticidal, germicidal and enzyme inhibitory properties. In the current work, synthesis of p-toluenesufonyl fluoride was accomplished by reacting p-toluenesulfonyl chloride with solid potassium fluoride using PEG-400 as a catalyst under solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis (S-L PTC) at 30 °C. p-Toluenesulfonyl fluoride is used as peroxygen bleach activator. It also finds use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The mechanism is based on homogeneous solubilization of solid. PEG forms a complex with metal cation which associates with the nucleophile and it participates in SN₂ type reactions. The reaction is intrinsically kinetically controlled. A complete theoretical analysis is done to determine both the rate constant and equilibrium constant from the same set of data. The activation energy and Gibbs free energy are also calculated.     

Die Kristallstruktur von Na2NiAlF7—ein Beitrag zum Problem der wahren Raumgruppe orthorhombischer Weberite

The Crystal Structure of Na₂NiAlF₇ — a Contribution to the Problem of the True Space Group of Orthorhombic Weberites The X-ray single crystal structure determination of the orthorhombic weberite Na₂NiAlF₇ (a = 707.4(2), b = 1003.8(2), c = 731.5(1) pm; Z = 4) was performed in space group Imma, after all reflections hk0 with h(k) = 2n + 1 could be eliminated, as they proved simulated by Renninger effect and/or λ/2 reflections. The alternative space groups Imm2 resp. I2₁2₁2₁ of former weberite structure determinations thus became obsolete. The refinement using 880 independent reflections ended at wR = 0.0232. The resulting average distances within the framework of octahedra are Ni? F = 197.3, Al? F = 180.4 pm.

PIXE法分析共聚物中痕量氯

四氟乙烯和全氟4-甲基-3,6-二氧杂-△~7辛基磺酰氟在溶剂氟里昂-113(F-113)中进行自由基引发聚合反应时,共聚物(T-O)是否有链转移,可以通过测定所得共聚物中的含氯量来得以证实。我们首次应用质子X萤光分析法(PIXE)进行分析。结果表明,共聚物中含氯量小于1ppm,F-113溶剂并未发生链转移。同时,我们测定了已证明有F-113参与链转移反应的F_(40)试样,含氯量高达700ppm。     

氟化钾团簇的相变、成核和重结晶的分子动力学模拟

我们利用Born-Mayer-Huggins相互作用势函数对(KF)_N(N=108，256，500和864)团簇进行了分子动力学(MD)模拟。为了避免周期性边界条件对相变、成核和重结晶的干扰作用，对体系采用了自由边界。基于MD模拟结果，对团簇的熔化温度、熔化焓、扩散系数、成核速率、固液界面自由能、临界核大小等进行了计算和讨论。在对(KF)₈₆₄双晶团簇的热退火模拟中，观察到了固态的重结晶和晶粒的生长。经典的成核理论成功地解释了(KF)₈₆₄双晶团簇的重结晶MD模拟结果。

Palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of aryl halides in the presence of fluoride

This report describes the fluoride-mediated homocoupling of aryl iodides and bromides catalyzed by palladium(0). This coupling protocol is tolerant of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substitutents on the aryl halide, as well as ortho substitution. Optimum reaction conditions entail 10 mol% Pd(dba)₂, 3 equiv of tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride (TBAF) in DMF at 90 °C.     

Structure and stability of hydrogen fluoride complexes with N,N-dimethylformamide

The structure, stability, and paths of formation of 11 (HF)_m(DMF)_n heterocomplexes (m = 1–4, n = 1, 2) were studied in terms of the B3LYP/6-31++G(d, p) density functional calculation. The results of this calculation suggest that: a) addition of hydrogen fluoride molecules to the (HF)_mDMF cyclic fragment is the basic tendency in complex formation in the HF-DMF system; b) data about the structure and properties of stable molecular forms that prevail in N,N-dimethylformamide solutions of hydrogen fluoride can be obtained by quantum chemical calculations for (HF)_mDMF complexes (m = 5–10).     

Thermal stability and crystal structure of potassium fluoride monoperoxosolvate KF·H2O2

Potassium fluoride peroxosolvate KF-H₂O₂ was obtained upon action of a 30% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide on solid potassium fluoride dihydrate. As compared to other peroxosolvates, KF-H₂O₂ is characterized by the highest thermal stability: the decomposition rate constantk ₁, at 120°C is 1.4 10^–3 min^–1, the enthalpy of H₂O₂ addition to KF is 8.1 kcal/ mol. The correlation between the high stability of KF-H₂O₂ and the absence of catalytic properties of KF towards H₂O₂, and the formation of strong intermolecular O-H...F and intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds in the crystal is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
