Synthesis and Phosphorus Sulfur Bond-Cleavage Of 3'- Thiothymidylyl(3'5')Thymidine

The title compound is readily prepared from 5'-O-monomethoxytrityl-3'-thiothymidine (5); cleavage of the P–S bond can be accomplished by mild oxidative hydrolysis.

Evaluation of lines of boron, phosphorus and sulfur by high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry for plant analysis

The wavelength-integrated absorbance (WIA) and summation of absorbance (∑ lines) of different lines were evaluated to enhance sensitivity and determine B, P and S in medicinal plants by HR-CS FAAS. The lowest LOD for B (0.5mgL-1) and P (13.7mgL-1) was obtained by integration of lines 249.773nm (3pixels) and 247.620nm (5pixels), respectively. The ∑ lines for CS at 257.595nm and 257.958nm furnished LOD=30.5mgL-1, ca. 10% lower than the LOD obtained for the WIA using 257.595nm and 5pixels. Data showed the advantage of WIA over ∑ lines to improve sensitivity for all analytes. Under optimized conditions, calibration curves in the 1.0-100mgL-1 B and 50.0-2000mgL-1 P, S ranges were consistently obtained. Results obtained with the HR-CS FAAS method were in agreement at 98% and 95% confidence level with certified values for B and P, respectively. And results for S were in accordance to non-certified values. Concentrations of B, P, and S in 12 medicinal plants analyzed by the proposed method varied within the 19.4-34.5mgkg-1 B, 719-3910mgkg-1 P and 1469-7653mgkg-1 S ranges. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Raman and infrared spectroscopic characterization of the phosphate mineral Lithiophilite—LiMnPO4

The metal lithium is very important in industry, including lithium batteries. An important source of lithium besides continental brines is granitic pegmatites as in Australia. Lithiophilite is a lithium and manganese phosphate with chemical formula LiMnPO4 and forms a solid solution with triphylite, its Fe analog, and belongs to the triphylite group that includes karenwebberite, natrophilite, and sicklerite. The mineral lithiophilite was characterized by chemical analysis and spectroscopic techniques. The chemical is: Li1.01(Mn0.60, Fe0.41, Mg0.01, Ca0.01)(PO4)0.99 and corresponds to an intermediate member of the triphylite-lithiophilite series, with predominance of the lithiophilite member. The mineral lithiophilite is readily characterized by Raman and infrared spectroscopy.

NMR Spectroscopic and X-Ray Structural Studies of Two Diazadiphosphetidines

The crystal structures of the two diazadiphosphetidines, [PhNP(OCH2CF3)]2 (1) and [MeNP(NMe2)(O2C6H4)]2 (2) have been determined. The trifluoroethoxy groups in (1) have a trans orientation. The phosphorus chemical shift for (1) is at 189.8 δ. On standing in solution, (1) transforms slowly (∼ 10 days) and almost completely into its 'high-field' (cis) isomer (142.2δ).

A PPP AND CNDO Study of Dithiocarbonic Antonic Derivatives

The application of the CNDO and PPP-CI methods to N,N-dimethyl dithiocarbamate, O-methyl dithiocarbonate (methyl xanthate) and methyl trithiocarbonate ions for the elucidation of electronic structure and electronic spectra is described. The CNDO/2 calculations have been used to obtain the one centre core integrals of the ionic compounds required in calculating the pi electronic spectra of these molecules using the PPP method. The calculated spectra are in good agreement with the experiment. The atomic charge densities determined for alkyl xanthate, dithiocarbamate and trithiocarbonate ions support the earlier qualitative predictions regarding electronic structure from spectroscopic and other studies.

Kinetics Of The Aminolysis Reactions Of Chlorocyclotriphosphazenes-Changeover From A Sn2(P) To A Sn1(P) Mechanism

A change-over from SN2(P) to SN1(P) mechanism is established for the chlorine replacement reactions of halogenocyclophosphazenes; this mechanistic change-over helps in rationalising the diverse findings reported for this class of reactions.

Electronic Structure of some Substituted azolidines.CNDO/2, NMR and vibratational spectoroscopic studies

The 1H and 13C chemical shifts, characteristic vibrational frequencies and force constants for some substituted azolidines are correlated with the results of the CNDO/2 calculations. The influence of the exo and endo heteroatoms on the electronic structure of the heterocyclic ring are discussed.

Conformation And C-N Rotational Barrier Of Dithiocarbamate Esters Nmr And Molecular-Orbital Studies

The variable temperature proton and ambient temperature carbon-13 NMR spectra of S-methyl dithiocarbamate esters have been recorded. The results of the theoretical energy calculations (CNDO/2 and EHT types) together with the experimental data have been interpreted in terms of the molecular conformations. The barrier heights for the rotation about the thioamide C—N bond are calculated using the CNDO/2 method and the results are discussed in terms of the computed charge densities and bond orders.

Bicyclic Phosphazenes Derived from (Amino) Cyclotetraphosphazenes

Amination reactions of 2,6-bis(primary amino)cyclotetraphosphazenes yield not only the expected (amino)cyclotetraphosphazenes but also novel trans-annular bridged bicyclic phosphazenes by an intramolecular substitution pathway. In addition, resins are formed in some reactions by an intermolecular condensation. The effect of substituents attached to the phosphazene ring, the attacking nucleophile and solvent on the formation of the trans-annular P-N-P bridge is considered in detail in relation to plausible reaction mechanisms. Analytical separation of bicyclic phosphazenes by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a reverse phase silica column is demonstrated. Structural features of bicyclic phosphazenes and salient aspects of their NVR spectroscopic data are discussed.

The 31p nmr Spectra of Isomeric Diaminohexa-hlorocyclotetraphosphazatetraenes; Examples of a2b2 and aa'bb' spin Systems

The 31P nmr spectra of 2,4- and 2,6-diamino-derivatives of octachlorocyclotetraphosphazatetraene, N4P4Cl6(NR1R2)2 (R1 = H, R2 = But; R1 = H, R2 = CH2Ph; R1 = Me, R2 = Ph), have been measured. The 2,4- and 2,6-isomers were analysed as AA'BB' and A2B2 spin systems respectively. In the 2,4-isomers the spin-spin couplings 2J(PNP) and 4J(PNPNP) were of opposite sign.
