Carbon tetrachloride, structure

Pyridines react easily with halogens and inter-halogens to give crystalline compounds, largely undissociated when dissolved in solvents such as carbon tetrachloride. Structurally they are best formulated as resonance hybrids related to trihalide anions. 1-Fluoropyridinium triflate is also crystalline and serves as an electrophilic fluorinating agent (31.1). ...

With iodine in carbon tetrachloride, 4-methylpyrazole affords a deep-red oil for which the structure (266) has been proposed. Nitric acid, silver nitrate and iodine together convert pyrazole into 1,3,4-triiodopyrazole (267 = R" = I, = H). The fV-iodopyrazoles are... 

Proton magnetic resonance (carbon tetrachloride) S 3.75 (singlet with fine structure) infrared (neat) cm. 2985, 2273, 1667, 1527, 1515 fluorine magnetic resonance (carbon tetrachloride) p.p.m. (CFCI3 internal standard) 142.4 (symmetrical multiplet, 2 ortho F), 153.8 (triplet with flne structure, 1 para P, J = 20 Hz), 161.7 (multiplet, 2 meta F). 

As mentioned in Section II,B, solutions of y9-hydroxypyridines in the nonpolar solvents chloroform and carbon tetrachloride show sharp infrared absorption bands near 3600 cm indicating that they exist in the hydroxy form. Infrared spectral data also led Mason to conclude that -hydroxypyridines probably exist largely as such in the solid state and exhibit O— 0 hydrogen bonding, a conclusion which is contrary to an earlier proposal favoring a zwitterion structure. 

Structure of luciferin (Ohtsuka et al., 1976). The luciferin of Diplocardia longa is a colorless liquid, and fairly stable at room temperature. It is soluble in polar organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, acetone, and methyl acetate) but insoluble in nonpolar solvents like hexane and carbon tetrachloride. Based on the chemical properties and spectroscopic data, the following chemical structure was assigned to the luciferin. 

The preservative powers of salt stem from its chemistry and its interaction with water. The H2O molecule is a tetrahedral structure. It does not look like a tetrahedron because two of the positions are occupied not by atoms but by electron pairs. Another molecule with a tetrahedral structure is carbon tetrachloride. The difference between the structures of the two molecules is that carbon tetrachloride has no unbonded electron pairs (Figure 8.1). 

Both water and carbon tetrachloride (CCI ) are tetrahedral structures. Unlike water, carbon tetrachloride does not have any unbonded electron pairs. 

The compound, previously formulated as tritellurium tetranitride is now shown to have the title structure (though probably polymeric, with inter-ring bonding). Two forms were originally described, one black which explodes on impact, and one yellow which explodes at 200°C [1]. It is explosive when dry, but may be stored safely under carbon tetrachloride [2],... 

Lipid peroxidation is probably the most studied oxidative process in biological systems. At present, Medline cites about 30,000 publications on lipid peroxidation, but the total number of studies must be much more because Medline does not include publications before 1970. Most of the earlier studies are in vitro studies, in which lipid peroxidation is carried out in lipid suspensions, cellular organelles (mitochondria and microsomes), or cells and initiated by simple chemical free radical-produced systems (the Fenton reaction, ferrous ions + ascorbate, carbon tetrachloride, etc). In these in vitro experiments reaction products (mainly, malon-dialdehyde (MDA), lipid hydroperoxides, and diene conjugates) were analyzed by physicochemical methods (optical spectroscopy and later on, HPLC and EPR spectroscopies). These studies gave the important information concerning the mechanism of lipid peroxidation, the structures of reaction products, etc. 

When we look at the overall molecular structure of carbon tetrachloride, the net vectorial force in this molecule is zero as its shape is symmetrical so CC14 is a non-polar molecule.
