Spin-adducts of η2-metallocomplexes of fullerene-60 with phosphoryl radicals

Using ESR spectroscopy, the reaction of P(O)(OPrⁱ)₂ phosphoryl radicals with C₆₀ML₂ (M=Pd, Pt) was studied and the spin-adducts formed were shown to be unstable under the reaction conditions. The ⁵-addition of Pt(PPh₃)₄ to the dimer of phosphorylfullerenyl radicals results in metal-containing dimers (RO)₂(O)PL₂MC₆₀-C₆₀ML₂P(O)(OR)₂, which dissociate when exposed to visible light to afford C₆₀ML₂P(O)(OR)₂ radicals; ML₂ in these complexes is located in different positions in relation to the radical center. As a result, the ESR spectra contain the superposition of at least five signals of radicals that differ in HFS constants andg-factors.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reactivity in the solid state between CoWO4 and RE2WO6 where RE = Sm, Eu, Gd

Reactivity in the solid state between CoWO₄ and some rare-earth metal tungstates RE₂WO₆ (RE = Sm, Eu, Gd) was investigated by the XRD method. Two families of new isostructural cobalt and rare-earth metal tungstates, Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ and CoRE₄W₃O₁₆, were synthesized. The Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ phases are formed by heating in air the CoWO₄ and RE₂WO₆ compounds mixed at the molar ratio 2:1, while the CoRE₄W₃O₁₆ phases are synthesized at the molar ratio of CoWO₄/RE₂WO₆ equals to 1:2. The Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ phases as well as the CoRE₄W₃O₁₆ compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic system. The Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ and CoRE₄W₃O₁₆ compound melt above 1150 °C. A melting manner of the Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ and CoRE₄W₃O₁₆ compounds was determined in an inert atmosphere. The formation of CoWO_4−x phase was observed during heating in an inert atmosphere.     

Stable silica gel-bound crown ethers. Selective separation of metal ions and a potential for separations of amine enantiomers

Silica gel-bound crown ethers and aza macrocycles have been synthesized with the attaching arm connected to the carbon framework of the macrocycles. The interactions of these bound macrocycles with cations are almost identical to those involving the analogous free macrocycles. This has allowed for predictable cation separation, concentration, and removal processes to be performed on a small scale. Quantum mechanical calculations and NMR measurements indicate that similarly bound chiral macrocycles will be capable of use in separating chiral organic amines.Dedicated to the memory of Professor James J. Christensen who died on 5 September 1987.     

Role of the surface heterogeneity in adsorption of hydrogen ions on metal oxides: theory and simulations

In this article we study the effect of energetic heterogeneity of a crystalline surface on the adsorption of hydrogen ions (protons) from the liquid phase. In particular, we examine the influence of the shape of the adsorption energy distribution on the equilibrium isotherms of hydrogen ions. To that purpose, a few popular distribution functions, including rectangular, exponential, and asymmetric Gaussian are considered. Additionally, multimodal distribution functions, which may correspond to the adsorption on different crystal planes of the oxide, are also used. Lateral interactions between adsorbed charges are modeled using the potential function proposed by Borkovec et al., which accounts also for polarization of the liquid medium. The results presented here are obtained using both Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and theoretical calculations involving Mean Field Approximation (MFA). They indicate that increased energetic heterogeneity of the adsorbing surface may, in general, considerably change the behavior of the adsorption isotherms, regardless of the assumed distribution function. It is also shown that the predictions of the proposed theory are consistent with the data obtained from the MC simulations.

Investigation of polymer-protected noble metal nanoparticles by transmission electron microscopy: control of particle morphology and shape

 Noble metal nanoparticles were prepared by the in situ reduction of the respective metal salt precursors in the presence of various protective polymers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to determine the particle shapes and morphologies. These are strongly influenced by the reduction methods and conditions chosen, but the choice of the protective polymer is equally important for controlling the particle morphologies and for the stabilization of the colloids. A whole spectrum of nanoparticle morphologies and shapes was obtained, ranging from nanoagglomerates which are nevertheless well-defined and well-stabilized to nanosized single crystals with triangular shape.

Experimental and computational studies of intracomplex reactions in Mg+(primary, secondary alkylamine) complexes induced by photoexcitation of Mg+

We report herein a comprehensive study of photoinduced reactions in complexes of Mg+ with primary (n-propyl- and isopropylamine) and secondary amines (dipropyl- and diisopropylamine) in the spectral range of 230-440 nm. Similar to the methyl- and ethylamine complexes studied previously, N-H bond activation of these complexes is very unfavorable. Instead, the C(alpha)-C, C-N, and C(alpha)-H bond-cleavage photoproducts are observed after photoexcitation of the Mg+ complexes (3(2)P<--3(2)S). For Mg+(primary amine) complexes, for example, Mg+-NH2CH2CH2CH3, and Mg+-NH2CH(CH3)2, the photoproducts resulting from C(alpha)--C rupture prevail after P(z) and charge-transfer excitations, whereas the Mg+ photofragment is predominant upon P(x,y) excitation. However, with further N-alkyl substitution, as in Mg+(secondary amine) complexes, for example, Mg+-NH(CH2CH2CH3)2 and Mg+-NH[CH(CH3)2]2, a novel intracomplex C-C coupling photoreaction dominates on P(x,y) excitation of Mg+, which is believed to arise from Mg+* insertion into the C-N bond. With P(z) and charge-transfer excitation, the Mg-R elimination photoproducts, arising from C(alpha)-C bond cleavage, predominate. The energetics and possible mechanisms of the intracomplex photoreactions are analyzed in detail with the help of extensive quantum mechanics calculations.
