Line graphs of bipartite graphs with Hamiltonian paths

It is shown that, if t is an integer ≥3 and not equal to 7 or 8, then there is a unique maximal graph having the path P_t as a star complement for the eigenvalue ?2. The maximal graph is the line graph of K_m,m if t = 2m?1, and of K_m,m+1 if t = 2m. This result yields a characterization of L(G ) when G is a (t + 1)‐vertex bipartite graph with a Hamiltonian path. The graphs with star complement P_r ∪ P_s or P_r ∪ C_s for ?2 are also determined. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 43: 137–149, 2003     

Degradative chain transfer in vinyl acetate polymerizations using toluene as solvent

In this work, we propose that retardation in vinyl acetate polymerization rate in the presence of toluene is due to degradative chain transfer. The transfer constant to toluene (C_trs) determined using the Mayo method is equal to 3.8 × 10^?3, which is remarkably similar to the value calculated from the rate data, assuming degradative chain transfer (2.7 × 10^?3). Simulations, including chain‐length‐dependent termination, were carried out to compare our degradative chain transfer model with experimental results. The conversion–time profiles showed excellent agreement between experiment and simulation. Good agreement was found for the M_n data as a function of conversion. The experimental and simulation data strongly support the postulate that degradative chain transfer is the dominant kinetic mechanism. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Deuterium exchange of 4-pyrimidones and 4-pyrimidthiones

The hydrogen-deuterium exchange of H-2 in 4-pyrimidone, a number of 1- and 3-alkyl-4-pyrimidones and several of their thione analogs in deuterium oxide at moderate temperatures is reported. This reaction is apparently not susceptible to acid or base catalysis. Cations of the 4-pyrimidones were found not to exchange H-2 at all in acid media. Catalytic amounts of bases do not alter the exchange rates whereas more concentrated alkali decompose the pyrimidone. However, 1,4(3,4)-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-4-oxopyrimidinium iodide (and its 6-methyl analog) exchange H-2 quite rapidly in neutral deuterium oxide, almost instantly when triethylamine is added as a catalyst, and very slowly in dilute solutions of deuterium chloride in deuterium oxide. Mechanisms are proposed to account for these phenomena.     

Structure and conformational isomerism of the major dimer of 2,3-naphthoquinodimethane

The major product from 2,3-naphthoquinodimethane formed by cyclisation of $\text{o}$-dipropadienylbenzene was found to be the dimer 5 containing an eight-membered ring, for which the inversion barrier was determined by dynamic ¹H NMR spectrometry, ΔG3 = 18 kcal/mole.     

Synthesis of substituted 3-amino[6,5-b]triazinoindoles

4-[(9-Methyl-as-triazino[6,5-b]indol-3-yl)amino]-2-methyl-2-butanol ( 13 ) and the corresponding 2-methyl-3-imino derivative 12 were synthesized and tested in vitro against Rhino 2 virus. The two compounds were more active than the known triazino[5,6-b]indole 4 . 2,9-Dimethyl-3-methoxy-9H-as-triazino[6,5-b]indolium tosylate ( 21 ) and the related 3-methylthio compound 9 were prepared. Quaternary 21 formed a pseudo base, 22a , whereas quaternary 9 did not form a pseudo base.     

Photochlorination of tetramethylsilane and hexamethyldisilane in the gas phase

Preliminary studies of the reaction of chlorine with tetramethylsilane and hexamethyldisilane in the gas phase show that the photochlorination of tetramethylsilane is complex, giving different products from the corresponding reaction in solution and having an explosion boundary. At pressures below the explosion boundary the main products are ethylene, hydrogen chloride, dimethylchlorosilane, and more highly chlorinated methylsilanes. Above the explosion boundary main products after explosion are methane, acetylene, ethylene, hydrogen chloride, and silicon tetrachloride. Hexamethyldisilane reacts rapidly with chlorine in the dark, as it does in solution, forming mainly trimethylchlorosilane along with similar products to those found with tetramethylsilane. Subsequent photochlorination of trimethylchlorosilane follows a similar course to that of tetramethylsilane in the gas phase. Tentative mechanisms involving “hot” molecules are suggested.     

The effects of temperature and pressure on the lifetime of benzophenone emission

The variation in the lifetime of flash-excited gaseous benzophenone with pressure and temperature indicates that (1) self-quenching is a relatively inefficient process for the long-lived emission, k_sq = 9 × 10⁵ M^?1 s^?1 (estimated from solution data) at 25°C and 1.2 × 10⁷ M^?1 s^?1 at 170°C and (2) the lifetime decreases with increasing temperature as a result of photochemical and photophysical decay pathways which have significant activation energies. The importance of diffusion to the walls on lifetime measurements is discussed.
