Potential energy surfaces and nonadiabatic transitions in the asymptotic regions of ICN photodissociation to study the interference effects in the F1 and F2 spin-rotation levels of the CN products

One of the most spectacular yet unsolved problems for the ICN -band photodissociation is the non-statistical spin-rotation F₁ = N + 1/2 and F₂ = N − 1/2 populations for each rotation level N of the CN fragment. The F₁/F₂ population difference function f(N) exhibits strong N and λ dependences with an oscillatory behavior. Such details were found to critically depend on the number of open-channel product states, namely, whether both I (²P_3/2) and I (²P_1/2) are energetically available or not as the dissociation partner. First, in the asymptotic region, the exchange and dipole-quadrupole inter-fragment interactions were studied in detail. Then, as the diabatic basis, we took the appropriate symmetry adapted products of the electronic and rotational wavefunctions for the F₁ and F₂ levels at the dissociation limits. We found that the adiabatic Hamiltonian exhibits Rosen–Zener–Demkov type nonadiabatic transitions reflecting the switch between the exchange interaction and the small but finite spin-rotation interaction within CN at the asymptotic region. This non-crossing type nonadiabatic transition occurs with the probability 1/2, that is, at the diabatic limit through a sudden switch of the quantization axis for CN spin S from the dissociation axis to the CN rotation axis N . We have derived semiclassical formulae for f(N) and the orientation parameters with a two-state model including the 3A′ and 4A′ electronic states, and with a four-state model including the 3A′ through 6A′ electronic states. These two kinds of interfering models explain general features of the F₁ and F₂ level populations observed by Zare's group and Hall's group, respectively. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Copolymerization of butadiene and styrene with a gadolinium tricarboxylate catalyst

Homo- and copolymerizations of butadiene (BD) and styrene (St) were carried out by gadolinium catalysts having various tricarboxylate ligands [Gd(OCOR)₃: R = CH₃, CH₂Cl, CHCl₂, CCl₃, and CF₃], to investigate the effects of ligands and discuss the cis polymerization mechanism. Polymerization of BD with Gd(OCOR)₃—(i—Bu)₃Al—Et₂AlCl catalysts was carried out in hexane at 50°C. By each catalyst, poly(BD) having a high cis content (cis = 97–99%) in 22–85% yields for 2–24 h were obtained. The ligands with low pKa values increased the polymerization activity as follows: R of Gd(OCOR)₃: CF₃ > CCl₃ > CHCl₂ > CH₂Cl ～ CH₃. On the other hand, in the polymerization of St or copolymerization of BD and St under similar conditions, the highest activity was attained by a Gd(OCOCCI₃)₃- based catalyst. The difference in the optimum ligand among the homo- and copolymerization of BD and St was discussed on the basis of energy levels of the catalysts. In the copolymers of BD and St, the cis-1,4 content of the BD unit decreased with increasing St content. Furthermore, according to the diad analysis of copolymers (St content ～ 14.5 mol %) by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, the low cis value of the BD unit was observed in the St-BD diad (cis/trans/vinyl = 24/53/23), while the high cis value of the BD unit remained in the BD-BD diad (cis/trans/vinyl = 89/10/1). These results suggest that the terminal BD unit is controlled by the cis configuration by the coordination between the penultimate cis vinylene unit and the gadolinium metal catalyst, whereas the presence of the penultimate St unit interferes with cis polymerization of the terminal BD unit. The difference in the coordination mechanism in the course of polymerization between rare earth metal and transition metal catalysts such as the Ni(acac)₂ and Co(acac)₃-based catalyst was also discussed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Magnetic Field and Magnetic Isotope Effects upon Reactions of Heavy Atom-Centered Radicals

We present our recent studies on magnetic field effects (MFEs) observed in reactions of heavy atom-centered radicals such as Si-,P-, Ge-, and Sn-radicals with a ns-laser photolysis technique under magnetic fields of 0–10 T. Although the MFES of heavy atom-centered radicals are much smaller than those of C-radicals due to the spin-orbit interaction of heavy atoms, we have found appreciable MFEs in many reactions of such heavy atom-centered radicals. Comparing the MFES of C-radicals with those of heavy atom-centered ones, we have explained the MFEs of heavy atom-centered radicals in terms of the Δg and relaxation mechanisms. We have found that the separation between the MFES due to the Δg mechanism and those due to the relaxation one is possible with the enhancement of spin relaxation by the addition of a paramagnetic ion. We have also tried to enrich magnetic isotopes of heavy atoms with the magnetic isotope effect (MIE), using the reactions which show fairly large MFES. Recently, we have succeeded in enriching ⁷³Ge. This is the heaviest isotope which has so far been enriched with the MIE from samples of natural abundance.     

Preparation of poly(1,4-phenylene)s by electro-oxidative polymerization

The effect of substituents on the electropolymerization of benzene derivatives and the redox properrties of the corresponding polymers were determined using Brown's substituent constants (σ⁺). Electron-donating groups lower the oxidation potential by which increase in the current efficiency was observed. However, stabilization of the produced cation radicals by the electron-donating groups resulted in a decrease in the polymerization efficiency. The appropriate values of σ⁺ for the efficient polymerization ranged near ?1.5.     

Chemical reactions between immiscible polymers in the melt: Transesterification of poly(ethylene-co-methyl acrylate) with mono-hydroxylated polystyrenes

This article presents a unique example dealing with how chemical reactions between immiscible polymers in the melt behave differently than they would do in solution. Specifically, a model reaction was chosen: the transesterification between poly(ethylene-co-methyl acrylate) (EMA) and polystyrene mono-hydroxylated at the chain end (PSOH). It was carried out in the melt in a batch mixer. The overall rate of this reaction has a similar dependence of temperature, composition of reactants, and the nature and concentration of catalyst as in solution. The reactivity of PSOH decreases drastically with increasing molecular weight, and it becomes very weak when the molecular weight exceeds 8000 g/mol. As opposed to a reaction in solution or in a homogeneous melt, mechanical mixing increases the reaction rate since it generates interfacial area and reduces the diffusion length. The EMA-g-PS graft copolymer formed at the interfaces reduces the interfacial tension, and increases the miscibility of the reaction mixture. However, its occupation of the interfaces reduces contact between the reactive moieties, thus decreasing the overall reactivity. More importantly and much to our surprise, adding 1 to 2 wt % of an inert solvent increased greatly the overall reaction rate. While an increased interfacial mixing and diffusion by the presence of minor amounts of solvent are thought to be the major factors contributing to the drastic increase in reactivity, numerous questions still remain. Nevertheless, this study clearly showed that as opposed to a reaction in solution, mechanical mixing and the presence of minor amounts of solvent are two additional and critical means to control chemical reactions between immiscible polymer melts. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
