Reactions of hexamethylditin and trimethyltin sulfide withN-thio-derivatives of phthalimide

The initial formation of organotin derivatives with Sn-S-N bonds in heterolytic reactions of hexamethylditin or trimethyltin sulfide withN-(chlorothio)phthalimide is suggested. Subsequent interaction of these compounds with sulfenyl chloride affordsN, N-thioorN, N-dithiobisphthalimide. Homolytic reaction of hexamethylditin withN, N-dithiobisphthalimide also occursvia an organotin intermediate, which, in the absence of a nucleophilic reagent, eliminates sulfur and converts intoN-trimethylstannylphthalimide.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Environmentally benign green composites based on epoxy resin/bacterial cellulose reinforced glass fiber: Fabrication and mechanical characteristics

Bio-based bacterial cellulose (BC) epoxy composites were manufactured and their mechanical properties were examined. The BC was initially fabricated from Vietnamese nata de coco by means of alkaline pretreatment followed by solvent exchange. The obtained fibers were dispersed in epoxy resin (EP) by both mechanical stirring and ultrasonic techniques. The resulting blend was used as the matrix for glass-fiber (GF) composite fabrication using a prepreg method followed by multiple hot-press-curing steps. The morphology, mechanical characteristics and mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness of the fabricated composites were investigated. With a 0.3-wt% BC content, the mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness for both crack initiation and crack propagation were improved by 128.8% and 1110%, respectively. The fatigue life was dramatically extended by a factor of 12, relative to the unmodified composite. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the BC plays a vital role in increasing the interlaminar fracture toughness of a GF/EP composite via the mechanisms of crack reflection, debonding and fiber-bridging.     

SCF perturbation theory for unimolecular reactions

A CNDO/2 SCF perturbation theory is presented for interpreting the form of CNDO/2 potential energy surfaces of unimolecular reactions. The analysis is performed by calculating the energy change E arising from a distortion of the molecular geometry along the reaction coordinate. E is decomposed into different perturbational contributions which are appropriate for an interpretation of the perturbation energy E. Moreover, E is resolved into energy parts arising from a single occupied orbital and contributions due to pairwise orbital interactions. In this way one evaluates numerically how the form of the occupied and unoccupied orbitals determines the magnitude of E. If the distortion occurs along a definite symmetry coordinate, group-theoretical arguments can be applied to discuss the magnitude of characteristic components of the perturbation energy. The SCF perturbation theory is used to analyze the isomerization of ethylene, cis-2-butene and cis-2-butenenitrile.This work was partially supported by Nato-Grant No. 1072     

Relative stability of the2 A 1g and2 E g states of the C2H 6 + ion

Anab initio study of the relative stability for the states² A _1g and² E _g of C₂H ₆ ⁺ has been carried out. The results of the Open Shell Restricted Hartree-Fock calculations lead to assign the² A _{1 g} as the ground state of the molecule in agreement with previous SCF calculations.The correlation energy associated to both states has been calculated within the correlation hole model and the results, contrary to those obtained from Configuration Interaction calculations, do not alter qualitatively the conclusions from SCF.     

A novel heterocyclization of 1-acetylenyl-9,10-anthraquinones

I-Acetylenyl-9,10-anthraquinones react with an excess of NH₂NH₂ at 80–115°C to give a mixture of substituted 7H-dibenzo[de,h]quinolin-7-ones and anthra[9,1-cd]-1,2-diazepin-8-ones. The latter compounds undergo reductive contraction of the sevenmembered ring to give the corresponding 7H-dibenzo[de,h]quinolin-7-ones. Bulky substituents in position 2 of the initial acetylenylanthraquinones prevent the formation of the sevenmembered heterocycle. A scheme of the cyclocondensation was proposed.

Etude de la Volatilisation de Quelques Sels de Sodium en Spectro-photometrie d'Absorption Atomique Sans Flamme

Abstract

The non-atomic absorption signals obtained from 9 sodium salts from a graphite atomizer are examined. The influence of nitric, sulfuric and phosphoric acids on NaCl matrix as well as the influence of Ca, Ba, Sr, Mg and Pt salts on Na₂SO₄ matrix are studied. The elimination of NaCl and Na₂SO₄ matrix has been obtained.

En spectrophotométrie d'absorption atomique sans flamme la présence d'une matrice se traduit dans de nombreux cas lors de l'atomisation d'un élément par l'existence d'une absorption non spécifique qu'il convient de différencier avec exactitude de l'absorption spécifique. Différents procédés ont été développés (arc deutérium, effect Zeeman.) permettant de réaliser une correction avec une justesse en règle générale d'autant meilleure que les variations d'amplitude sont moins rapides. Dans la pratique, il èest très rare que le mode opératoire utilisé ne se traduise pas par de faibles surcorrections ou mème sous-corrections perturbant gravement l'exactitude d'un dosage au voisinage des limites de sensibilité de la méthode, ce quel que soit le mode de correction employé.

Parallèlement, la présence d'une matrice peut induire des phénomènes physico-chimiques provoquant des interférences génératrices de variations de sensibilité et de sources d'erreurs conséquentes, lors de l'emploi d'une méthode d'addition standard par exemple, notamment au voisinage des limites de détection.

Il est donc toujours préférable d'éliminer la matrice dès lors que cela peut être effectué sans perte du métal [Agrave] doser.

Si cette élimination n'est pas possible, il est intéressant d'étudier la substitution de la matrice initiale par une autre matrice permettant de réaliser le dosage dans des conditions plus favorables.

La connaissance des spectres et massifs d'absorption liés [Agrave] la volatilisation des différentes matrices, et de leurs variations par addition de modifieurs permet dans certains cas d'accéder [Agrave] des substitutions intéressantes notamment pour deux matrices sodées: NaCl et Na₂SO₄.

Ortho‐Quinone Methides as Reactive Intermediates in Asymmetric Brønsted Acid Catalyzed Cycloadditions with Unactivated Alkenes by Exclusive Activation of the Electrophile

An efficient method for the highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral chromanes bearing multiple stereogenic centers was developed. A chiral BINOL‐based N‐triflylphosphoramide proved to be an effective catalyst for the in situ generation of ortho‐quinone methides (o‐QMs) and their subsequent cycloaddition reaction with unactivated alkenes provided chromanes with excellent diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity.
