Spectral Studies on Some Pyrimidine Derivatives in Different Solvents

The electronic absorption spectra of 2-aminopyrimidine (compound I), 2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine (compound II), 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine (compound III), 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine (compound IV), 4-amino-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine (compound V), and 4,5-diamopyrimidine (compound VI) have been measured in water and in a series of different organic solvents. The solvent effects on the spectra are discussed and the solvent induced spectral shifts are analyzed in terms of different solute–solvent interaction mechanisms, using the multiple linear regression technique.     

The Reaction of Maleic and Phthalic Anhydrides with 2-Methylimidazole

The reaction of maleic anhydride with 2-methylimidazole in acetonitrile and DMF is accompanied by the appearance of strong absorption bands in the visible part of the spectrum due to the formation of molecular complexes. In acetonitrile the reaction proceeds by two routes via the formation of an amide and the molecular complex. Phthalic anhydride reacts with 2-methylimidazole to give amide but not to form molecular complexes.     

S1←S0 Vibronic spectra and the structure of acetyl fluoride-h3 and acetyl fluoride-d3 molecules

UV absorption spectra of acetyl fluoride-h₃ and -d₃ (CH₃COF and CD₃COF) molecules in the region of S₁S₀ electronic transitions are investigated. The origins (0⁰ ₀ or 14^0± ₀) of these transitions are observed at 39912 and 39904 cm^–1, respectively, and some of the fundamental frequencies of these molecules in the s₀ and S₁ states are determined. In particular, the systems of torsion and inversion (out-of-plane C=O vibrations) energy levels are studied. The geometric parameters of an acetyl fluoride-h₃ molecule in the S₁ state are estimated by the theoretical simulation of the rotational contours of the 0⁰ ₀ (14^0± ₀) band. These data are used to evaluate the potential barriers to internal rotation in the S₀ and S₁ states, which were found to be 360 and 560 cm^–1 for acetyl fluoride-h₃ and 380 and 770 cm^–1 for acetyl fluoride-d₃, respectively, as well as the potential barriers to inversion in the S₁ states, which were found to be 2090 and 2370 cm^–1 for acetyl fluoride-h₃ and acetyl fluoride-d₃, respectively.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

镓改性ZSM-5沸石中镓活性中心的形成与表征

采用脉冲微反体系研究了经不同程度还原和不同镓含量的GaZSM-5沸石的芳构化性能与吡啶吸附红外光谱特征谱带吸收度的关联，证实了1458 cm~(-1)吸收带的用于表征与Ga物种有关的活性中心，并研究了沸石的硅铝比对Ga中心形成和Ga的价态对芳构化性能的影响。结果表明，对Ga含量相同的样品来说，硅铝比愈低，起始Ga中心生成量愈多，高价态与低价态的Ga中心对丙烷芳构化反应都有促进作用。     

Crown-containing styryl dyes

Styryl dyes containing a crown ether group and a heteroaromatic moiety with a sulfoalkylN-substituent (1a,b) undergo photocyclodimerization in acetonitrile in the presence of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to give only the typeA isomer of cyclobutane derivative (2a,b). The photochemical regio- and stereoselectivity of the cycloaddition is explained by self-organization of thetrans-isomers of the styryl dyes upon complexation with the Mg²⁺ cations into dimers with a fixed mutual arrangement of multiple bonds.For part 7, see ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Alkylhydrazides and their protonated forms: Physical methods andab initio calculations

The basicity of hydrazides of the highest aliphatic carboxylic acids RC(O)NHNH₂ (R = C_nH_2n+1,n = 5-12) has been studied by potentiometric titration, and IR and¹H NMR spectroscopy.Ab initio Hartree-Fork calculations using the 6–31G^* basis set with full optimization of geometry were carried out on the simplest acy1hydrazines and their possible protonated forms. Based on these calculations, and the 1R and¹H NMR spectra, the tautomerism of alkylhydrazides and the structures of their protonated forms are discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Mittlere Schwingungsamplituden der Hexachloro- und Hexabromo-Anionen einiger Lanthanide

Mean amplitudes of vibration for various octahedral complex compounds of the typeLnCl₆ ^3– andLnBr₆ ^3– (withLn=Nd, Eu, Gd, Dy, Er, and Yb) have been calculated, at different temperatures, using known spectroscopic data. The results are briefly discussed and it is found that theLn–Cl andLn–Br amplitude values are highly characteristic.

     

Low frequency vibrational spectra of some amino acids

Far-IR absorption and reflection spectra, as well as laser Mandelshtam–Brillouin and Raman scattering spectra of -glycine, β-alanine, -histidine, -tryptophane single crystals in the 0.2–400 cm⁻¹ range were investigated. It was revealed that the far-IR and Raman spectra of the amino acids under study contain more bands than predicted by factor-group analysis, thus indicating a possible contribution of low-energy intramolecular vibrations and overtones, as well as an emergence of forbidden vibrations. Some of the low-frequency bands have never, to our knowledge, been detected previously.     

Addition of diazocyclopropane generatedin situ to acrylic acid derivatives and transformations of resulting functionally substituted spiro(pyrazolinecyclopropanes)

The reaction of diazocyclopropane generatedin situ with acrylonitrile or methyl acrylate to give 1∶1, 1∶2, and 2∶1 cycloadducts was carried out. The products resulting from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and subsequent isomeriation,viz., 3-cyano- and 3-methoxycarbonylspiro(2-pyrazoline-5,1′-cyclopropanes), isolated in the first step in ∼70% yield, react in an alkaline solution with the above acrylates or diazocyclopropane as C(3)-nucleophiles to give the corresponding 3-(2′-cyanoethyl)-, 3-(2′-methoxycarbonylethyl)-, or 3-(cyclopropylazo)-1-pyrazolines. The thermal deazotization of these pyrazolines to spiropentane derivatives was investigated. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 532–539, March, 1997.     

STUDY ON THE NANOSECOND TRANSIENT ABSORPTION SPECTRA OF HYPOCRELLIN A

In this paper, the nanosecond transient absorption spectra and the fluorescence spectraof Hypocrellin A(HA) are examined in solvents of varying polarity. There are three absorp-tion bands in dilute HA solutions: Ⅰa, Ⅱa are defined as the triplet-triplet absorption ofHA, the band Ⅲa is supposed to be the absorption of the solvent--sepatated ion pair (SSIP).In more concentrated solutions, only the absorption of SSIP was observed. The effects ofsolvent polarity on transient absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra of HA and the effectof oxygen on the intensities of the fluorescence of HA are discussed. Then a reasonablemechanism for the photolysis of HA is proposed.
