One-pot assembly of 4-methylene-3-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes from alkyl aryl(hetaryl) ketoximes, acetylene, and aliphatic ketones: a new three-component reaction

A new three-component reaction between alkyl aryl(hetaryl)ketoximes, acetylene, and aliphatic ketones in the superbasic systems KOH/DMSO and LiOH/CsF/DMSO (70-90 °C, initial acetylene pressure 13-15 atm, 5-60 min) affords novel 4-methylene-3-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes in yields of up to 75%. Using KOH/DMSO, the side products of the reaction are O-vinylketoximes and 2-aryl(hetaryl)pyrroles, while with LiOH/CsF/DMSO, the reaction proves to be selective, only minor amounts of the corresponding alkyl aryl(hetaryl) ketones being detectable.     

Microporous Zinc Formate for Efficient Separation of Acetylene over Carbon Dioxide

Separation of acetylene(C₂H₂) from carbon dioxide(CO₂) by adsorbents is very challenging owing to their high similarity on molecular shape and dimension. Exploring inexpensive and easily available porous materials is of importance to facilitate the practical implementation of the challenging but energy-efficient separation. Herein, we utilize an easily available porous material[Zn₃(HCOO)₆] for the selective separation of C₂H₂ over CO₂. Because of the pore confinement in[Zn₃(HCOO)₆](pore size of 0.47 nm) and accessible oxygen sites for preferential binding of C₂H₂, this material exhibits high low-pressure uptake for C₂H₂(63 cm³/cm³ at 10 kPa and 298 K) and high C₂H₂/CO₂ selectivity(7.4 under ambient conditions) that is comparable to those of out-performing porous materials. The efficient separation of[Zn₃(HCOO)₆] for C₂H₂/CO₂ mixture has also been confirmed by the breakthrough experiments.     

Determination of Oxytetracycline in Food Using a Disposable Montmorillonite and Acetylene Black Modified Microelectrode

Oxytetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used in animal husbandry that may cause the occurrence of antibiotic residues in food-producing animals. A detailed study of the electrochemical properties of oxytetracycline was carried out at montmorillonite and acetylene black modified carbon paste microelectrode. The oxytetracycline underwent an irreversible oxidation at montmorillonite-acetylene black/carbon paste microelectrode, which was an adsorption-controlled process with one proton and one electron. Using differential normal pulse voltammetry with accumulation at a fixed potential of 0.3 V for 120 s, oxytetracycline yielded a well-defined voltammetric response at 0.6 V in pH 7.4 citric acid–Na₂HPO₄ buffer. Furthermore, the oxidation peak current of oxytetracycline at the montmorillonite–acetylene black/carbon paste microelectrode linearly increased with concentration in the range of 0.5–50 µM with a low detection limit of 87 nM (S/N = 3). This methodology was successfully applied to the determination of oxytetracycline from food samples, suggesting that it has practical applications in monitoring oxytetracycline.

Acetylene adsorption on Si(1 0 0): A study of the role of surface steps

The focus of this study is on the adsorption of organic molecules onto steps on Si(1 0 0) and acetylene has been chosen as a show-case example. The study is based on a time-dependent quantum mechanical method and is divided into two parts. The first part has a methodological meaning and illustrates the dynamical events occurring when the molecule impinges onto the flat Si(1 0 0) surface. The second part analyzes preferred adsorption sites at steps, which are evaluated under stationary conditions from the minimization of the total energy. Adsorption-desorption events at those sites are analyzed considering temperature-activated motions obtained from the time-dependent representation. The simulation method is based on two Hamiltonians, i.e., semiempirical Hartree-Fock and Density Functional, and uses a cluster to model the exposed surface. Divergences and similarities of the properties of steps with respect to properties of the flat surface, as reported in the literature or obtained from this study, are analyzed and discussed.     

From 1,4-diketones to N-vinyl derivatives of 3,3′-bipyrroles and 4,8-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-f]indole in just two preparative steps

Dioximes of hexane-2,5-dione and cyclohexane-1,4-dione react with acetylene in an autoclave (KOH/DMSO, 100 °C, 1 h, initial pressure 14 atm) to give 2,2′-dimethyl-1,1′-divinyl-[3,3′]bipyrrole and 1,5-divinyl-4,8-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-f]indole in 12% and 6% yields, respectively, thus exemplifying a very simple, straightforward route to inaccessible or unknown pyrrolic assemblies.     

Argon-broadening coefficients in the ν5 band of acetylene at room and low temperatures

Ar-broadening coefficients have been measured in the P- and R-branches of the ν₅ fundamental band of C₂H₂ for 30 lines at room temperature and 8 lines at −100 °C, using a tunable diode-laser spectrometer. These lines with J values ranging from 2 to 27 are located in the spectral range 665-795 cm⁻¹. The collisional widths are obtained by fitting each absorption line with three lineshape models: the Voigt profile, the Rautian profile accounting for the Dicke narrowing effect, and a general Rautian profile including the absorber speed-dependent collisional broadening. The latter model provides significantly larger broadening coefficients than the Voigt model. These coefficients are also calculated from a semiclassical theory performed by using a simple intermolecular potential with two adjustable parameters. Finally, the temperature dependence of the broadening coefficients has been determined both experimentally and theoretically.     

Configurational stabilization of mixed-valence states in the star-burst tetranuclear ruthenium complex bridged with acetylene links

A new tetranuclear ruthenium complex in which a metal was bridged radially to three identical metals with acetylene links showed a mixed-valence state in cyclic voltammograms. The peak potential difference for the mixed-valence state was twice the potential difference for a mixed-valence state of the corresponding binuclear complex. This fact suggests stabilization of the mixed-valence state twice by configurational modification of redox centers. However, this is inconsistent with the prediction from the additive pair model of the redox interaction. A quantum chemical model of the redox interaction was presented, in which the potential difference was expressed by the overlap integral S and the nearest neighbor interaction energy between the reduced center and the oxidized one. Application of the theory gave a negative value of S, which demonstrated reasonably the stabilization of the mixed-valence state from a quantum chemical viewpoint.
