Experimental evidence for two different precursors of Eγ′ centers in silica
2004
Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements of concentration and line shape of E γ ′ centers induced by γ ray irradiation are presented for natural and synthetic commercial silica with different OH contents. Synthetic materials with OH content >200 ppm by weight show one line shape for all investigated doses. In contrast, the other materials show a different line shape at low irradiation doses. Differences are also observed in the concentration growth of the E γ ′ centers in synthetic wet materials and in the other materials. The results are interpreted as evidence of two E γ ′ centers distinguishable by their line shape and having different precursors.
Preparation and Photochemistry of Dendrimers with Isolated Stilbene Chromophores
2005
In addition to the model compounds 4a and 4b, the dendrimers 11 and 14 with trans-stilbene chromophores in the core and on the periphery of the dendrons were prepared and their photochemistry was studied in solution and in neat films. Due to the flexibility of the arms, intramolecular and intermolecular CC bonds are formed on irradiation. Thus, the generation of nanoparticles, which represent small oligomers, is much more likely than for the cross-linking of rigid, cross-conjugated stilbenoid dendrimers. The photoreactions in solution were studied by UV and NMR spectroscopy, the transformation of the films was studied by AFM. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 200…
Thermal behaviour and electrochemical properties of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide and dodecatungstosilicate viologen dimers
2012
We report the synthesis and characterization of dimeric viologen salts (1',1''-(alkane-1,n-diyl)bis(1-ethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) with n = 4-10) with bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (bistriflimide, Tf(2)N(-)) as a counteranion. For n = 4, 5 and 6, and for the nonylviologen cation (1,1'-dinonyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) we also prepared salts with the totally inorganic dodecatungstosilicate anion, SiW(12)O(40)(4-), featuring a poly-charged surface and nanosized dimensions. The materials have been characterized by means of calorimetric techniques, X-ray diffraction and solid state NMR and a comparison is made with analogous monomeric viologen salts exhibiting smectic mesophases. A strong odd-even ef…
Yttrium Hydrido Complexes that Contain a Less “Constrained Geometry” Ligand: Synthesis, Structure, and Efficient Hydrosilylation Catalysis
2001
σ-Bond metathesis of the new linked amino-cyclopentadiene (C5Me4H)CH2SiMe2NHCMe3 with Y(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 gave the alkyl-yttrium complex [Y(η5:η1-C5Me4CH2SiMe2NCMe3)(CH2SiMe3)(THF)] (1) in 66% yield. Compound 1 was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure analysis. By hydrogenolysis, 1 was quantitatively converted into the dimeric hydride [Y(η5:η1-C5Me4CH2SiMe2NCMe3)(THF)(μ-H)]2 (2). X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed a Y2H2 core connected to two [Y(η5:η1-C5Me4CH2SiMe2NCMe3)(THF)] fragments in a skewed manner, with a relatively long yttrium−yttrium distance of 3.7085(8) A. In solution, two diastereomers were observed by 1H NMR spectroscopy at −78 °C. Dimer 2 was s…
Timolol derivatives. I. X-ray, NMR and theoretical studies of the crystallization of (S)-timolol O,O-diacetyl-l-tartaric acid monoester
1993
Abstract The absolute configurations of (S)-timolol hemihydrate and (S)-timolol O,O-diacetyl-(R,R)-tartaric acid monoester were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. An NMR analysis based on the temperature dependence of vicinal coupling constants was carried out to characterize the conformational behaviour of the S,R,R- and R,R,R-forms in solution. The same conformation as in crystalline state was also found in solution, although with a rather low preference over some other conformations. Results of theoretical calculations using MNDO and AMBER force field methods are reported. An infinite chain of hydrogen bonds, along with other favourable inter- and intramolecular forces that …
Oxidomolybdenum(IV), ‐(V), ‐(VI) Complexes with Relevance to Molybdenum Enzymes: Oxygen Atom Transfer, Redox Chemistry and EPR Spectroscopy
2010
The cis-dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complex Mo(NN′)2O2 (1) [(NN′) = N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-pyrrolatocarbaldimine] transfers one oxygen atom to phosphanes PMenPh3–n (n = 0–3) to give quantitatively the respective phosphane oxides OPMenPh3–n (OAT, oxygen atom transfer). The kinetics of these OAT reactions has been investigated spectrophotometrically. When offering excess PMenPh3–n (n = 1–3), oxido(phoshane)molybdenum(IV) complexes Mo(NN′)2O(PMenPh3–n) 5a–5c are isolated and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 31P, 15N), IR spectroscopy, UV/Vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The redox chemistry of the molybdenum(IV) complexes 5a–5c and of molybdenum(VI) complex 1 has been pr…
Low-temperature methyl group dynamics of hexamethylbenzene in crystalline and glassy matrices as studied by 2H NMR
1991
Abstract 2 H NMR spectra of hexamethylbenzene (HMB) in protonated crystalline and amorphous matrices at low temperatures are presented. All spectra reveal lineshape changes which can be attributed to methyl group tunnelling. Compared to neat HMB, a drastic increase of the tunnelling frequency is found for all systems. This indicates that the hindering potential originates predominantly from intermolecular forces. We studied the temperature dependence of these spectra and the spin-lattice relaxation in order to exclude a distribution of motional correlation times describing a thermally activated process. In addition, we find a distortion of the methyl tetrahedron.
Reactions of Carbonyl Compounds in Basic Solutions. Part 351: The Alkaline Hydrolysis and Reactivity – Structure – Spectra Correlations of (Z)-4-(Sub…
2002
The kinetics of the alkaline hydrolysis and the configuration, conformation and electronic structure were studied using IR, NMR spectroscopy, X-ray analysis and AM1 theoretical calculations for a series of (Z)-4-(substituted benzylidene)-2-phenyl-4H-oxazol-5-ones (1) and compared with analogous results reported for (E)-4-benzylidene-2-phenyl-4H-furan-5-ones (5) and related compounds.
Synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, NMR characterization and theoretical calculations on [Cp2Ta(η2-H2)(CO)]+, the first thermally stable group 5 dihy…
2001
Protonation of Cp2TaH(CO) (Cp = C5H5, 1a; C5H4But, 1b) by HBF4·Et2O at −78 °C in CH2Cl2 affords [Cp2TaH2(CO)]BF4 (2, 3) as mixtures of 2 isomers. The minor ones (2a, 2b) contain the known trans-dihydride [Cp2TaH2(CO)]+ cations whereas the major ones (3a, 3b) are [Cp2Ta(η2-H2)(CO)]BF4, the first group 5 dihydrogen complexes. The crystal structure of the analogous complex 3a·BArf4 recorded at 120 K confirms the presence of the coordinated dihydrogen ligand, which displays an H–H separation of 1.09(2) A in agreement with distances calculated from NMR data. Protonation of Cp2TaH2(SiMe2Ph) by (Et2O)2 ·HBArf4 does not lead to an analogous silane derivative but to the new dinuclear complex [(Cp2…
Aggregation versus Biological Activity in Gold(I) Complexes. An Unexplored Concept
2021
The aggregation process of a series of mono- and dinuclear gold(I) complexes containing a 4-ethynylaniline ligand and a phosphane at the second coordination position (PR3-Au-C≡CC6H4-NH2, complexes 1-5, and (diphos)(Au-C≡CC6H4-NH2)2, complexes 6-8), whose biological activity was previously studied by us, has been carefully analyzed through absorption, emission, and NMR spectroscopy, together with dynamic light scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering. These experiments allow us to retrieve information about how the compounds enter the cells. It was observed that all compounds present aggregation in fresh solutions, before biological treatment, and thus they must be entering the cells as a…
