A Photoelectron Spectroscopic Study Of The Interaction Of Oxygen, Nitrogen And Transition-Metals With C-60 Films

Evidence is presented for the strong interaction of oxygen and nitrogen with solid films of buckminsterfullerene based on core-level spectroscopic studies. Cr, Ni and Cu deposited on C60 films interact strongly giving rise to large changes in the C(Is) and C(2p) binding energies as well as the (2p) binding energies of the transition metals.

Charge-transfer interaction of picolines with iodine and pi-accepters- A spectroscopic study

The interaction of 2-amino-6-methylpyridine, 2-picoline and 4-picoline as donors with iodine, 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane,2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone, p-chloranil, o-chloranil, 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone and 2,4,5,7-tetranitro-9-fluorenone as acceptors has been studied by measuring visible and ultraviolet spectra. Infrared, electron paramagnetic and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra have also been obtained. Kinetic parameters have been derived. The results indicate that the charge transfer interaction occurs through the formation of free radicals which is followed by a slow reaction to give a diamagnetic product. However, with iodine, the charge transfer complex formation occurs without the formation of free radicals. The donor site is inferred to be the lone pair of electrons of the amino nitrogen of 2-amino-6-methylpridine whereas for 2- and 4-picolines, the preferred site is lone pair of electrons on the pyridine nitrogen.

Differential pulse polarographic determination of trace levels of iron(III) by using the catalytic current

Trace of iron(III) are determined by differential pulse polarography in a medium of sodium hydroxide and sodium bromate using the catalytic current. Various cations do not interfere. The relative standard deviation is 2%.

Group-VI metal-carbonyl-complexes of (amino)spirocyclic cyclotriphosphosphazenes

The reactions of (amino)spirocyclotriphosphazenes, N3P3(NMe2)4(NHCH2CH2NH) (1) and N3P3(NMe2)4(NHCH2CH2CH2NH) (2) with molybdenum- and tungsten-hexacarbonyls give complexes of the type [M(CO)4(L)] (L = 1 or 2) in which the phosphazenes act as bidentate chelating ligands via one of the phosphazene ring nitrogen atoms and one of the nitrogen atoms of the diaminoalkane moiety.
