Liquid-phase chlorination ofC-chlorovinylsilanes

Liquid-phase chlorination of a number of chloro(chlorovinyl)methylsilanes was investigated. A number of novelC-chlorosilanes were characterized by IR and¹H NMR spectra. Some regularities of these reactions were determined; correlations between the structure of chloro(chlorovinyl)methylsilanes and their reactivities were identified.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Preparation of isomeric 1,3- and 1,5- (o-phenylene)-hexamethylcyclotetrasiloxanes and investigation of their spectral characteristics

Workup of the mixture of products of pyrolysis of cyclotetrasiloxane (Me₂SiO)₂(MePhSiO)₂ yielded 1,3- (I) and 1,5-(o-phenylene)cyclosiloxane (II), the structures of which were established on the basis of data from their IR, PMR, and mass spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 24–25, January, 1978.     

Metal carbonyl derivatives of lanthanides. CpLuCl2-induced synthesis of the trinuclear tungsten cluster [Na(DME)3]2[W3(CO)14]

The cluster [Na(DME)₃]₂[W₃(CO)₁₄] (1) was prepared by treating CpLuCl₂ with an equimolar mixture of Na₂W(CO)₅ and Na₂W₂(CO)₁₀ in DME and characterized by X-ray analysis (MoK radiation, 653 reflections,R = 0.125). The crystals are rhombic,a=18.749(4) Å,b=15.074(3) Å,c=9.505(3) Å,Z = 2, space groupC _mmm. The W-W distance in the W-W-W chain is 2.79 Å. The carbonyl ligands at the tungsten atoms are eclipsed. Compound 1 is the first example of a homometallic carbonyl cluster of an early transition metal. It is suggested that CpLuCl₂ interacts with Na₂W(CO)₅ to afford the highly reactive species CpLu (CO)₅ which further reacts with Na₂W₂(CO)₁₀ to form1. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Electrochemical iodination of C-methyl derivatives of dodecahydro-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborate anion

By electrochemical iodination of potassium 7-methyl-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborate and potassium 7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborate, their monoiodine derivatives (extracted as tetramethylammonium salts) are synthesized. Their structure is confirmed by NMR and IR spectra and also by elemental analysis data.     

Structural trends of 29Si–1H spin–spin coupling constants across double bond

The calculations of geminal and vicinal ²⁹Si–¹H spin–spin coupling constants across double bond in 15 alkenylmethylsilanes and alkenylchlorosilanes were carried out at the second‐order polarization propagator approach level in a good agreement with experiment. Two structural trends, namely, (i) the geometry of the coupling pathway and (ii) the effect of the electrowithdrawing substituent, have been interpreted in terms of the natural J‐coupling analysis within the framework of the natural bond orbital approach. Thus, the marked difference between cisoidal and transoidal ²⁹Si–¹H spin–spin coupling constants across double bond was accounted for the delocalization contributions including bonding and antibonding Si–C and C–H orbitals, whereas the chlorine effect was explained in terms of the steric contributions including bonding Si–Cl orbitals.

Alkoxylation of 1,2-Bis(methylchlorosilyl)ethylenes and -Acetylenes

Reactions of a series of 1,2-bis(methylchlorosilyl)ethylenes and -acetylenes Me_nCl_{3 - n}Si-Z-SiCl_{3 - n}Me_n (Z = CH = CH, CC; n = 0-2) with ethanol and acetoxime were studied. Novel alkoxy- and isopropylideneaminooxysilanes were obtained and characterized. A relation was found between the activity of Si-Cl bonds in the reactions studied and the structure of the carbon-carbon bridge.     

Modeling of the low-temperature production of gas-sensitive tin oxide films

The deposition of tin oxide films by reactive sputtering of a stoichiometric target is investigated. Conditions are determined for the formation of a crystal layer structure and the acquisition of gas sensitivity without subsequent high-temperature annealing. Zh. Tekh.

Multicopper Oxidase-Catalyzed Biotransformation of Dihydroquercetin

Multicopper oxidases such as bilirubin oxidase (BOD) from Myrothecium verrucaria and laccase (LC) from the basidial fungus Trametes hirsuta have been used as catalysts in dihydroquercetin (DHQ) oxidative polymerization. The conditions selected enabled good yields of DHQ oligomers, which were then analyzed using UV-vis, FTIR, ¹Н and ¹³С NMR spectroscopy. DHQ oligomers synthesized using both enzymes showed higher thermostability as compared with the monomer. Depending on the oxidase, the products of DHQ polymerization differed in physicochemical properties, and as shown by NMR studies, had different structures.
