An Infrared Spectroscopic Study on the Hofmann-diam-type 1,12-Diaminododecanemetal(II) Tetracyanonickelate(II)-aromatic Guest Clathrates: M(H2N(CH2)12NH2)Ni(CN)4ċG(M=Co, Ni or Cd; G = Benzene, Naphthalene, Anthracene, Phenanthrene or Biphenyl)

Three Hofmann-diaminododecane-type clathrates of the form M(1,12-diaminododecane) Ni(CN)₄G (M = Co, Ni or Cd; G = benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene or biphenyl) have been prepared in powder form. The 1,12-diaminododecane molecules in the host lattice permit the inclusion of bulky guest molecules. The spectral features suggest that these compounds are similar in structure to the other Hofmann-diam-type clathrates.     

Torsional barriers and nonlinear optical properties of 2-, 3-, 4-phenylpyridine molecules

The torsional barriers and nonlinear optical properties for all phenylpyridine molecules were calculated by using Hartree-Fock (HF) theory and Becke three-parameter functional (B3LYP) hybrid approaches within the density functional theory framework with the 6-31++G(d, p) basis set, and via the GAUSSIAN 98W. The torsional barrier computations show that dihedral angle between the two rings increases with the number of H-H vicinal interactions and torsional barriers with dihedral angles for 3-, 4-phenylpyridines are too similar for both HF and B3LYP level calculations. Also, HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, polarizabilities, anisotropy of polarizabilities, and static hyperpolarizabilities are calculated as a function of dihedral angle between benzene and pyridine rings. The study reveals that the phenylpyridines show very low nonlinear optical properties. The calculated torsional barrier, equilibrium dihedral angle and molecular dipole moment results for these molecules were compared with available experimental and other results determining from different computational methods.

IR spectra of Mn(en)M(CN)₄·2C₆H₆ (M=Cd or Hg), and IR and Raman spectra of Cd(en)M(CN)₄·2C₆H₆ (M=Cd or Hg) clathrates are reported. The spectral features suggest that the first two compounds are similar in structure to the later two Td-type clathrates.     

Infrared Spectroscopic and Gravimetric Studies on the Dicyclohexylaminecadmium(II) Tetracyanopalladate(II) Host-Aromatic Guest Systems

The host complex Cd(Cyclohexylamine)₂Pd(CN)₄ has been prepared in powder form. The spectral data suggest that the structure of this complex issimilar to those of the Hofmann-dma-type hosts. The sorption processes of thearomatic guests (benzene, toluene,o-, m-, p-xylene, naphthalene, 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dibromobenzene) in this host have been examined at room temperature by gravimetric and spectroscopic measurements.The desorption of the benzene guest against time has been measured. The hoststructure changes on inclusion of the guests and recovers after liberations. Thehost complex has been suggested as sorbents for selective absorption.
