Metallierungsreaktionen an cyclometallierten komplexen des typs Mo-C6H4CH2PR2)2(M = Pd,Pt)

The complexes of type $\text{M}\text{o}\text{-C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{CH}{}_2\text{P}$R₂)₂ (M = Pd, Pt) are readily deprotonated by n-Buli under various conditions yielding μ-C-bis-dilithiated species. The resulting carbanions are attacked by the electrophiles Mel, Me₃SiCl and Ph₂PCl to form the corresponding disubstituted derivatives. The reaction with AuCl . PPh₃ yields heterobimetallic complexes with two different MC σ-bonds. The compounds obtained are analytically and spectroscopically characterized.     

Zur Chemie und Strukturchemie von Phosphiden und Polyphosphiden. 36. Tetrakaliumhexaphosphid: Darstellung,Struktur und Eigenschaften von α-K4P6 und β-K4P6

Chemistry and Structural Chemistry of Phosphides and Polyphosphides. 36. Tetrapotassiumhexaphosphide: Preparation, Structure, and Properties of α-K₄P₆ and β-K₄P₆ Tetrapotassiumhexaphosphide has been prepared quantitatively by reaction of the elements at 870 K in sealed Nb and Ta ampoules, respectively. Two crystalline modifications are formed: α-K₄P₆ is stable below 850 K, β-K₄P₆ is stable above this temperature. Both compounds are black semiconductors (E_G(α) = 0.55 eV) with metallic lustre. The orthorhombic structures are defect variants of the hexagonal AlB₂ type structures (K₄P₆□₂) and of a different stacking sequence of this type. Characteristic building units are planar isometric P₆ rings, formed by a specific ordering of defects in the partial structure of the major component. The short P? P distances (215.5 pm and 215.0 pm, respectively) are about 30 pm shorter than the distances compared with a single bond (221 pm). They represent one double bond which is delocalized about six bonds or an aromatic 2π-system. The thermal decomposition in tantalum crucibles, the reaction with quartz walls as well as the reaction with benzophenone in monoglyme yields quantitatively K₃P₇. The reaction with RCl ? Me₃SnCl in monoglyme at 223 K results in the formation of P₇R₃ with high yield (75%). Very probably the valence fluctuating hexaphosphene(4) system is formed at 195 K in the primary reaction step (³¹P-NMR, singulett at 473 ppm downfield).     

Nitrogen containing barium titanate: Preparation and characterisation

The purpose of this work is to study the incorporation of nitrogen into barium titanate at oxygen sites by ammonolysis. The nitrogen content of the resulting barium titanate powders strongly depends on the flow rate of ammonia and the ratio Ba/Ti. The amount of resulting oxygen vacancies is lowered by co-doping with fluoride and tantalum.By avoiding an excess of BaO and exchanging 10 mol% Ti by Ta it is possible to produce powders with nitrogen content of more than 1 wt%. Partial substitution of barium oxide by barium fluoride also increases the nitrogen content. The nitrogen containing powders are colored and show an additional absorption at 500 nm measured in the UV/vis reflectance spectrum. The concentrations of nitrogen and fluorine in the samples were determined using ion-sensitive electrodes. X-ray powder diffraction shows the composition of the powders. The thermal stability was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, and in order to calculate the specific surface area the three-point BET method was used.     

Addition of hydrazine to natural terpene-based isothiocyanates derivatives: density functional theory investigation

The hydrazine addition to isothiocyanoterpenes to produce thiosemicarbazides occurs with excellent yields. The reaction rate to conversion of the camphene-based (NCS1), R-(+)-limonene-based (NCS2), and (−)-α-bisabolol-based (NCS3) isothiocyanoterpene derivatives in the respective thiosemicarbazides was experimentally studied. It was observed that NCS3 reacts two times faster than NCS2 and 3.5 times faster than NCS1. A complete theoretical investigation of the transition states of these reactions was accomplished, showing that the difference in the reaction rates can be explained by the differences in the electrophilic character of the -NCS group and the relative stability of the proposed transition states.     

Beiträge zur Komplexchemie der Phosphine und Phosphinoxide. XXI. Komplexchemisches Verhalten des Methylen-(diphenylphosphins) und des Lithium-bis(diphenylphosphino)-methanids

Preparation and properties are described of the complexes resulting by reaction of methylene-bis(diphenylphosphine) (MDP) and lithium-bis(diphenylphosphino)-methanide with π-allyl-pallladium chloride. (π-C₃H₅PdCl)₂ gives with MDP 1:1 and 1:2 complexes, whereas a 1:3 complex is not obtained. LiCH(PPh₂)₂ reacts with PdCl₂ and (π-C₃H₅PdCl)₂ to form [(PPh₂)₂ CHPdCl]₂ and [π-C₃H₅PdCH(PPh₂)₂]₂, respectively. These compounds are dimeric by associating via phosphine bridges. The latter are cleaved on heating with one mole of MDP. The compounds were characterized by IR and UV/VIS absorption spectra, conductivity and tested for catalytic properties.

Nanoscopic phase-analysis of SiC containing BaTiO3-ceramic

The formation of fresnoite (Ba₂TiSi₂O₈) from BaTi_1.01O_3.02 by addition of SiC was investigated in the temperature range from 700 to 1350?°C. Solid state reactions at the interface of grains indicate a formation of fresnoite below the temperature of liquid-phase-formation at about 1250?°C.     

Conformational and NBO analysis on cis and trans isomers of methyl-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-β-carboline-3-carboxylate

The cis and trans-methyl-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-β-carboline-3-carboxylates were prepared and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were recorded for both isomers. Conformational and NBO analysis were carried out for the cis and trans isomers. Conformer structures were pre-optimized using the hybrid method B3LYP along with the 6-311+G(d) basis set. Frequency calculations were employed to confirm the structures as minimum points. Potential energy surfaces (PES) were built at the same level of theory. Geometries obtained from DFT calculations were used to perform NBO analysis by the NBO 3.1 module in GAUSSIAN 03. The results obtained through theoretical calculations revealed that the shielding observed at C1 for the trans isomer can be attributed to carbomethoxy γ-effect, together with the hyperconjugative effect, while only hyperconjugative effects were found to explain the shielding of C3. The higher chemical shift value of C3 of the cis isomer was attributed to the carbonyl substituent, which plays an important role by capturing part of the electronic density in C3.
