Cryoscopic molecular weight studies

Cryoscopic molecular weight studies indicated the compound was monomeric in nitrobenzene solution. A proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum showed the tmtu resonance in SeCl2(tmtu) was shifted down-field by. 3 ppm and gave further evidence that the adduct was undissociated and monomeric in solution. 

There is an equilibrium between the dimer and monomer, and molecular orbital study suggests that the heterochiral dimer is more stable than the homochiral isomer. The existence and behavior of the dimeric species were well confirmed by experiments such as cryoscopic molecular weight and NMR measurement. In the NMR study of a DAIB-catalyzed dialkylzinc addition reaction, noticeable changes were observed in the spectrum of the homochiral dimer on the addition of benzaldehyde, while the spectrum of the heterochiral complex remained the same. This may imply that the heterochiral complex is very stable and does not react, and the homochiral dimer leads to the reaction product. 

The alkylmetal alkoxides and phenoxides of the alkaline earth metals and zinc are much more soluble and volatile and have been extensively studied. Cryoscopic molecular weight measurements on compounds RZn(OR ) and RZn(OAr) in benzene indicate tetrameric species in splution.95"98 H NMR studies of a number of such compounds have been carried out.98... 

Bidentate co-ordination of L via the pyridine and oxime N atoms was indicated from i.r. data. On the other hand, reaction of AuClj with equimolar amounts of isonicotinic acid esters has been shown to give yellow adducts of general formula AuCl3,4R02CC5H4N (R = Et, Bu", pentyl, heptyl", or octyl"). From cryoscopic molecular weight measurements all were shown to be monomeric in benzene at high dilution, but polymerization increases with increased concentrations. Lr. spectral studies established co-ordination of isonicotinic esters via the pyridine N, as in structure (92). 

Structure. Cryoscopic molecular weight values indicate that verbascose is a pentasaccharide 169). From methylation studies, Murakami concluded that verbascose was a D-galactosyl-substituted stachyose (at C-6 of the terminal D-galactose unit of stachyose). Hot dilute acetic acid removes the D-fructose unit from verbascose to give a tetrasaccharide verbascotetraose (m.p. 240°C. [a] +191.4 (water)). This tetrose has been partially hydrolyzed, with removal of D-glucose, to give the crystalline trisaccharide galactotriose 164)-... 

A differential vapour-pressure technique has been used to determine the molecular weights of phosphonic and phosphinic acids in 95% ethanol. Cryoscopic and n.m.r. studies have been made on solutions of phosphinic acids in sulphuric acid and oleum. Mass spectrometry has indicated the ready formation of phosphinylium ions after electron bombardment of phosphonic and phosphinic acids and their derivatives. However, the cryoscopic results in sulphuric acid indicated that reaction did not proceed beyond protonation, and the n.m.r. study on oleum solutions suggested that sulphonation occurred. 

Its cryoscopically determined molecular weight was 8400. Unsaturation determinations by bromination and hydrogenation Indicated the presence of approximately one double bond per molecule. These determinations were misleading, however, because subsequent nmr studies, especially 13C-NMR studies, Indicated the presence of an appreciable amount of unsaturation. The infrared and early 1H-NMR spectra (60 MHz) of the polymer indicated the presence of methyl groups and a small amount of residual unsaturation. The intensity of ultraviolet absorption by the polymer at 258 nm (e=27,000 per mole of polymer or e=340/monomer unit) suggested that one diene residue may have been present per polymer chain.
