W2NCl7 has been prepared by the reaction of tungsten pentachloride with the bromide of Millon's base, [Hg2N]Br, in boiling CCl4. The product forms a dark brown, moisture sensitive crystal powder (μeff = 0.7 B.M. at 21 °C). With phosphoryl chloride, the complex W2NCl7·2 POCl3 is formed. The reaction with chlorine leads to the mixed-valenced W(V)/W(VI) complex W2NCl8 (μeff = 0.5 B.M. at 22 °C), which reacts with tetraphenylphosphonium chloride in CH2Cl2 to form (PPh4)2[W2NCl10] ·2CH2Cl2. The reactions of W2NCl7 with PPh4Cl in molar ratios in CH2Cl2 solution lead to several complexes; one of them was identified bv X-ray diffraction methods to be (PPh4)2[W3Cl9(μ3-N)(0)(μ2-NCl)]2 ·1,5 CH2Cl2, which forms black crystals. The compound crystallizes monoclinically in the space group P21/n with two formula units per unit cell (7318 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.083). The lattice dimensions are (20 °C): a = 994.4; b = 2673; c = 1518.2 pm; β = 101.00°. The compound consists of PPh4⊕ cations and centrosymmetric anions [W3Cl9(μ3-N)(O)(μ2-NCl)]22⊕. The tungsten atoms form a scalene triangle with WW bond lengths of 282 and 278 pm, respectively. The hypothenuse of this triangle is a nearly linear W - N -W bridge with WN distances of 199 and 182 pm. One of the WW edges is bridged by a μ-NCI group with WN bond lengths of 196 und 189 pm. respectively.
[Na-15-Crown-5][MoF5(NCl)] has been prepared as yellow crystals by the reaction of NaF with MoF4(NCl) in the presence of 15-crown-5 in acetonitrile solution.

WCl4(NCl) has been prepared as a red-brown crystal powder by the reaction of tungsten hexacarbonyl with excess nitrogen trichloride in boiling CCl4. The complex is associated via chloro bridges, forming dimeric units, according to the IR spectrum. Thermal decomposition at 200 °C leads to tungsten nitride trichloride, WNCl3,. With acetonitrile, WCl4(NCl) reacts with formation of the monomeric complex [CH,CN-WCl4(NCl)], which was characterized by its IR spectrum as well as by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: space group P21/m, Z = 2 (1387 independent observed reflexions, R = 0.07). Lattice dimensions at 20 °C: a = 590.4(3), b = 729.0(3), c = 1124.6(4) pm, β = 100.63(2)°. The complex forms monomeric molecules, in which the tungsten atom has a distorted octahedral environment of four chlorine atoms in equatorial positions, and the acetonitrile molecule in trans-position to the group.

Kristallstruktur von 1,1-Dichlor-3,5-diphenyl-4-H-1,2,4,6-λ4-selenatriazin, SeCl2C2N3H(C6H5)2
(1989)
The title compound has been prepared as a byproduct of the reaction of Se2Cl2 with Ν,Ν,N′-Tris(trimethylsilyl)benzamidine in CH2Cl2 solution. [SeCl2(HNC2N2Ph2)]2 was characterized by an X-ray structure determination. Space group P21/n, Z = 2, 2979 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.032. Lattice dimensions (-65 °C): a = 1050.1(4), b = 1018.9(4), c = 1402.1(6) pm; β = 99.78(3)°. The compound forms centrosymmetric dimeric molecules with SeCl2Se bridges (bond lengths 241.6(1) and 339.3(1) pm), the selenium atoms being members of nearly planar [xxx] selenatriazine rings with Se—N bond lengths of 182.2(2) and 181.5(2) pm.
The PE spectra of the nitrogen-rich title compounds cyanogen azide NC-N3, azodicarbonitrile NC - N = N - CN, azidoacetonitrile NC - H2C - N3, tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (H4C5N)(N )3 and trimethylenetetrazole (H2C)3(CN4) are presented and assigned by radical cation state comparison with related compounds or by Koopmans’ correlation with MNDO eigenvalues. In a low pressure flow system the compounds decompose at higher temperatures, with elimination of the thermodynamically favorable N2 molecule. PE-spectroscopic real-time analysis reveals as further products: NC - N3 → C∞, NC - N = N - CN → NC - CN , NC - H2C - N3 → 2HCN (+ traces NC - HC = NH?) and (H2C)3(CN4) → H2C = N - CN + H2C = CH2. For tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine, a preceding ring opening to the corresponding 2-azidopyridine is observed.
Crystal and molecular structure analysis of the electron rich title compound exhibits an undistorted, yet sterically shielded tetra(primary alkyl)-substituted double bond system with alternating anti-periplanar CH2SiMe3 substituents. The diastereotopic methylene protons have been located and their position correlated to the 1HNMR data and to the ESR hyperfine coupling constants of the corresponding radical cation. In contrast to the highly inert all-carbon derivative, tetraneopentylethene, the more electron-rich and more flexible organosilicon title compound reacts with bromine. Close to orthogonal arrangement between the C-C(H2)-Si planes and the ethene plane ensures effective, fourfold σ/π-hyperconjugation.
In order to determine the influence of OH and O2H-radicals on proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution was treated with Fenton’s reagent [Fe(II)SO4+EDTA+H2O2] and with ultraviolet light (λ > 2800 Å) in the presence of H2O2. The action of free radicals produced in this way did not change the properties of the native protein with respect to the sedimentation in the ultracentrifuge or optical rotatory dispersion and electrophoresis under normal conditions. Ampèrometric titration indicated partial oxidation of SH-groups and of 3—5 SS-groups which are not reducible by NaBH4.
Heat aggregation investigated by means of light-scattering was suppressed at pH 7.5 and strongly accelerated at pH 4.6 (range of coagulation), the latter being a result of increased entropy of activation of coagulation velocity.
The difference spectrum against native BSA had positive values of Δε and two maxima at 2480 and 2950 Å.
Ultracentrifugation at room temperature in phosphate buffer (pH 7.3, μ=0.18) furnishes a molecular weight of 63 300. In a solution of 8 M urea and borate buffer (pH 9, μ=0.05) fragments with molecular weights between 25 000 and 37 000 were observed while in phosphate buffer (pH 7.3, without urea) at temperatures higher than 46 °C an anomalous behaviour of the concentration gradient indicated an effect which possibly depends on a dissociation equilibrium.
As a consequence oxygen radicals seem to attack not only SH- and SS-groups but at least one covalent bond of the peptide chain. Some experiments of heat aggregation with BSA treated with γ-rays (60Co) gave the same results as BSA treated with Fenton’s reagent or UV-light+H2O2.
Diluted aqueous solutions of some proteins (bovine serum albumin, β-Lactoglobubin, Peroxidase) show weak phosphorescence lasting over several minutes after they have been irradiated with light in the range 3500-4200 A. Addition of Eosin after the irradiation amplifies in some cases the intensity of luminescence to a value of about hundred. If Eosin is present at the irradiation process the excitation to phosphorescence is possible with light of the wavelength 5460 A.
After denaturation processes which destroy the configuration of proteins (Urea, Guanidine-HCI. detergents, heat at higher pH) the ability of phosphorescence disappears altogether; likewise after blocking the SH-groups by benzochinone or a total oxidation or reduction of the SS-groups which causes an complete unfolding of the peptide chain.
In solutions of bovine serum-albumin irradiated with 3650 Å at room temperature and afterwards frozen to -178°C no radicals could be observed by measurements of electron-spin-resonance but they were detectable if the irradiation took place in the presence of H2O2.
The reactions Xanthinoxidase-Xanthine-O2, Peroxidase-H2O2 and bovine serum-albumin-H2O2-Fe (II) EDTA are accompanied by chemiluminescence. By comparison with the behaviour of oxidised serum-albumin it could be shown that the chemical reaction produces an excited state of the native protein.
The observations lead to the conclusion that the weak phosphorescence of long duration originates from a triplet-state which is sufficiently populated only as the consequence of cooperative phenomena attending the undisturbed α-Helix-structure of the protein.
A phase equilibrium study of the system aluminiumbromide and pyridiniumbromide has been carried out. The phase diagram of the system indicates the existence of three congruently melting com pounds of the molar ratio AlBr3/PyHBr 1:1, 1:3, 2 :3 and one incongruently melting compound of the molar ratio 1:2 and is therefore similar to the AlCl3-PyHCl system [1].
From theoretical considerations a dynamically distorted octahedron as a result of vibronic coupling between the ground state and the first excited state should exist for 14 electron AX6E systems like TeX62- . A high symmetry crystal field yielding at least a center of symmetry for the Te position stabilizes this fluctuating structure, otherwise statical distortion will be observed. From X-ray diffraction experiments on antifluorite type compounds A2TeX6 (A = Rb. Cs: X = Cl, Br) the averaged structure (m3̅m symmetry) of the anions was found even at very low temperatures. The thermal parameters are not significantly different from those of similar SnX62 compounds. Distortions therefore are very small and are evident from FTIR spectroscopic measurements only. Here very broad T1u-deformation vibration bands are observed down to temperatures <10 K without splitting: Astatically distorted species could not be frozen out. In contrast to XeF6 for TeX62- the energy gap between the threefold, fourfold or sixfold minima of the potential surface (according to the symmetry of one component of the T1u-vibration) is very small and shifted to temperatures lower than reached with the devices used for these experiments.
The title compound has been prepared from (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2C-Ph)4Cl2] and CCl4 in CH2Cl2 solution as moisture sensitive crystals, which are black in reflexion and yellow in transmission. (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2C-Ph)4Cl4] · 2 CH2Cl2 was characterized by a X-ray crystal structure determination (7873 observed independent reflexions. R = 0.048). It crystallizes in the space group P1̄ with one formula unit in the unit cell; the lattice constants are a = 1186.4; b = 1404.0; c = 1451.0 pm; α = 61.98°; β = 78.91°; γ = 78.26°. The structure consists of PPh4⊕ ions. CH2Cl2 molecules and centrosymmetric anions [Mo2(O2C-Ph)4Cl4]2⊝ containinga molybdenum d3 d3 unit with a relatively long Mo=Mo bond of 249.6 pm. The Mo≡Mo group is spanned in a chelate manner by four O atoms of two benzoate groups and by two further single O atoms of two further benzoate groups. Two terminal Cl atoms on each Mo atom complete the pentagonal bipyramidal coordination spheres about the Mo atoms.
MoF4(NCl) has been prepared as a yellow crystal powder by the reaction of diluted fluorine with MoCl3(N3S2) at room temperature. The compound is associated via fluorine bridges, according to the IR spectrum. With acetonitrile, the monomeric complex [CH3CN -MoF4(NCl)] is obtained, which was characterized by its IR and 19F NMR spectra as well as by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: space group Pm, Z = 2 (1068 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.03). Lattice dimensions at -90 °C: a = 507.1. b = 704.8, c = 995.8 pm, β = 102.02°. The unit cell contains two crystallographically independent molecules [CH3CN -MoF4(NCl)], the Mo≡N-Cl groups being linear (bond angles 176°, 178°) with bond lengths MoN = 172 and NCI = 159, 162 pm. In the trans position to the MoNCl group, the nitrogen atom of the acetonitrile molecule is coordinated.
Cp2TiSe5 has been prepared by the reaction of trim ethyltetradecylammonium-polyselenide with Cp2TiCl2 in ethanol solution and subsequent extraction of the dry residue with dichloromethane. Cp2TiSe5 crystallizes in the space group P1 with two formula units in the unit cell (2559 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.074). The cell dimensions are a = 808.6, b = 822.6, c = 1190.7 pm, α - 96.28°, β - 106.06°, γ = 108.78°. The structure consists of discrete Cp2TiSe5 molecules with the TiSe5, ring in the chair conformation.
Coordination of substitutionally inert [Ru(bpy)2]2+ fragments (bpy: 2,2′-bipyridine) to the a-iminoketone chelate ligands pyrazine-2-dimethylcarboxamide (4) and 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (5) yields the complexes [(N,O-4)Ru(bpy)2]2⊕, [(O,O′-5⊖)Ru(bpy)2]⊕ and {(N,O; N′,O′-5)[Ru(bpy)2]2}4⊕ which exhibit a rich electrochemistry. The distinctly different electronic structures of the complexes are evident from the ESR behaviour of paramagnetic intermediates: N.O-coordinated complexes have the unpaired electron residing in the ligand n system upon reduction, albeit with g<2 for the binuclear complex of 5. The paramagnetic O,O′-coordinated mononuclear complex with 5 has its redox potentials shifted positively relative to that of the binuclear system. These results are particularly noteworthy because 4 and 5 can be regarded as model compounds for the flavin and methoxatin dehydrogenase cofactors.
(NBu4)[CoCl3(PPh3)] reacts with Se(SiMe3)2 to form the new clusters [Co8Se8(PPh3)6][CoCl3(PPh3)] (6) and [Co8Se8(PPh3)6][Co6Se8(PPh3)6] (7). The structures of 6 and 7 have been determ ined by X-ray diffraction. 6 and 7 crystallize in the space group P1̄ with two formula units per unit cell and with the following lattice constants at 180 K: 6: a = 1413.8(10), b - 2224.2(23), c = 2348.4(17) pm, α = 86.06(5), β = 86.58(5), γ = 76.11(5)°; 7: a = 1465.9(4), b = 1627.6(6), c = 2505.7(6) pm, α - 98.69(2), β = 96.23(2), γ = 113.06(2)°. The cluster structures of the [Co8Se8(PPh3)6]n (n = 0, 1 +) depend on the total number of electrons in the cluster units.
Photoelektronen-Spektren und Moleküleigenschaften, 110 [1,2]. Tricyanmethan-Derivate X—C(CN)3
(1987)
The photoelectron spectra of tricyanomethane derivatives X-C(CN)3 with substituents X = H, CH3, Br and C6H5 have been recorded and are assigned based on MNDO calculations as well as on radical cation state comparison with the iso(valence)electronic P(CN)3, within the series of cyanomethanes H4-nC(CN)n, and with each other. For HC(CN)3, no traces of the isomeric dicyano, ketimine HN = C=C(CN)2 are detected in the gas phase. Tricyanomethylbenzene, H5C6-C(CN)3, exhibiting the highest first ionization energy of any known singly acceptor substituted phenyl derivative, demonstrates the tremendous electron withdrawing effect of the -C(CN)3 group.
Trifluoromethyl azide decomposes in a low-pressure flow system at rather high temperatures by splitting off N2. The nature of the resulting products depends largely on the wall material of the pyrolysis tube: using molybdenum above 1120 K, FCN is observed exclusively. Neither F2C=NF nor F3C-N=N-CF3 can be detected as intermediates by comparing their PE spectra with those continuously recorded while increasing the temperature. F3C-N = N - CF3 fragments already at 870 K to give N2 and F3C-CF3. The PE spectra of F3CN3 and F2C=NF are assigned based on MNDO calculations.
The HCl elimination from β-chloroethyl azide (1-azido-2-chloroethane) over potassium tert. butanolate at 350 K in a low pressure flow system is optimized using PE spectroscopic real-time gas analysis. The highly explosive vinyl azide formed can be purified by cool-trapping the by-products. Its subsequent and virtually hazard-free pyrolysis yields 2H-azirine, which can be isolated at temperatures below 240 K.
In contrast, the direct pyrolysis of β-chloroethyl azide requires temperatures above 710 K and results in a simultaneous split-off of both HCl and N2, yielding acetonitrile as the main thermolysis product. No intermediates such as β-chloroethanimine or ketenimine are observed, a result which is interpreted in terms of chemical activation.
