Benzene monomeric cation

Experimental results suggest that PCl is dimeric in CCl solution. The stmcture consists of two octahedra sharing edges (56). PCl is monomeric in benzene and apparendy is trigonal bipyramidal (36). SoHd PCl is ionic, consisting of [PCl cations and [PClg ] anions (36). 

Radiation-induced electron transfer to nitroso compounds has also been studied. This technique, using electron expulsion from trichlorofluoromethane, provided data that the radical cation 54 is formed from nitrosobenzene at 77 K. Analysis of the EPR spectrum indicates that the singly occupied MO lies in the plane of the benzene ring and has high 2s character74. Irradiation of the dimer 55 under the same conditions shows that a trace of the monomeric radical cation 56 is produced74.

(b) X-ray structure of the jr-complexed lithium in the dimeric 2,6-bis(2,6-di-isopropylphenyl)phenyUithium . It is evident from the Figure that the local environments around the lithium cations are similar... 

In the continuation of our work a study has also been made of the system benzene/silica gel. When irradiating this system at 77 °K. it was found that the silica gel could stabilize both monomeric and dimeric cation radicals of benzene (6). Furthermore, the high resolution of the electron spin resonance lines indicated a high degree of mobility for the benzene molecules in the adsorbed layer. No spectrum from trapped electrons could be observed although this could very well be hidden behind the strong cation absorption. However, ethylene, and isobutylene in the adsorbed state at low temperature gave spectra from shortlived species identified as trapped electrons (7). 

Lariat ethers proved to be an effective vehicle for demonstrating alkali metal cation-7i interactions. When either Na" or is bound in the macroring, interactions are possible with neutral side arms. Indole, benzene, and phenol were studied, because these arenes are present on the side chains of tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine, respectively.Additional studies were reported of cation-x interactions between neutral double and triple bonds with these same alkali metal cations." Lariat ethers were also explored as ion-regulated DNA cleavage agents. Monomeric propargylic sulfone-armed lariat ethers were found to cleave DNA. Modest increases in DNA cleavage efficiency were observed in the presence of Na-" and... 

Surfactants are those molecules that comprise both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups simultaneously. The hydrophilic groups can be either ionic (e.g., -SOj, -SO3, -COOH, and -N(CHsIj) or nonionic (e.g., -0-(CH2-CH2-0) -H). As to the hydrophobic groups, the most widely used ones are the alkyl chains (-C H2 +i) and arakyl chains (-C H2 +i-C6H4-). Representative surfactants include anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, sodium stearate, cationic hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and nonionic i-octophenol polyethoxylate with an average of 40 monomeric units of ethylene oxide per molecule. Such amphoteric species tend to diffuse toward the interface between the oily and aqueous phases and reside therein.
