Solid-state isomerization discussion

The purpose of this article is to discuss conformational shift variations in some selected solid state spectra on the basis of discrete rotational isomeric states and to compare them with molecular packing effects. 

While the comparison of the OMTS and the (CH2)12 spectra helped to learn something about the kind of information solid state chemical shifts can provide, we can obtain much more detailed data about the correlation of chemical shifts and the rotational isomeric states from the spectra of larger cycloalkanes. Usually conformational shift variations are discussed by (i) the so called y-gauche effect and (ii) the vicinal gauche effect, Vg 15) ... 

The next homolog, 1,5-hexadiene (1,5-HD), is of special chemical interest because the molecule is capable of undergoing the so-called Cope rearrangement. A GED study of 1,5-HD was also recently reported6. Because of the increased conformational complexity of this molecule compared to that of 1,4-PD, the structural details of the various con-formers could not be resolved and only averaged structure parameters were determined from the gas phase. Molecules in the solid state are frozen, mostly in only one conformation, which may but must not represent the conformational ground state. Therefore, conformational isomerization is usually not discussed with X-ray structures presented in the literature. 

The infrared (IR) spectra of 1,10-phenanthroline, its hydrate and perchlorate in the region 600-2000 cm-1 have been obtained, and the principal features of the spectra interpreted.66 Further studies on the IR spectra of 1,10-phenanthroline,67-69 substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines,70,71 and 1,7-phenanthroline67 have also been reported. The IR spectrum of 4,7-phenanthroline in the region 650-900 cm-1 has been analyzed, and the C—H out-of-plane deformation frequencies were compared with those of phenanthrene and benzo[/]quinoline.72 The IR spectra of salts of 1,10-phenanthroline have been taken, and the NH vibrations determined.28,73 Infrared spectroscopy has been used to detect water associated with 1,10-phenanthroline and some of its derivatives on extraction into nitromethane from aqueous solution.74 The Raman spectrum of 1,10-phenanthroline has been compared with its IR spectrum.75 Recently, the Raman and IR spectra of all ten isomeric phenanthrolines were measured in solution and solid states, and the spectra were fully discussed.76... 

In a review, discussing a wide range of previous studies of isomerization in coordination compounds of cobalt or chromium with several representative diamines, Yamaguchi et al. [59] concluded that, even in the solid state, any ligand in these metal coordination compounds was unexpectedly easy to move. Most of these isomerizations, including 22 reactions trans to cis and cis to trans steps), occurred between about 400 and 520 K. 

Several years ago, we found that the isomerization of n-butylammonium ( Z,Z)-muconate produces the corresponding EE-isomer in a high yield in the crystalline state under photoirradiation [41]. This solid-state photoisomerization was re e e< t0 he a one-way reaction and no EZ-isomer was formed during the reaction, unsaturated compounds such as olefins, polyenes, and azo compounds generally undergo reversible one-bonded photoisomerization to form a mixture of omers. Previously, we pointed out the possibility that the isomerization of the but thni(i er Va ves the s°hd state f°ll°ws the bicycle-pedal reaction mechanism, et al [4 eta s °ffhe molecular dynamics ofthe reaction had not been clarified. Saltiel react an< fl have independently discussed volume-conserving... 

Acetalation of monohydrazone 60 gave 81-83 (Scheme 16). The H-NMR spectrum of 81 showed a chemical shift difference for the two methyl groups, agreeing with the shift rule of El Ashry (86CC1024). The previous discussion on the isomerism of hydrazones 60 indicated the possibility of their existence in two geometric isomers, particularly in solution. In the solid state, it exists in one form. However, its isopropylidene derivative was found to exist in two forms in the solid state and in solution. Similarly, the cyclohexylidene 82 exists in both forms. On the other hand, benzyli-... 

Molecular orbital calculations have been performed on pyrido[3,4-fojpyrazine using several approaches. Along with pyrido[2,3- )]pyrazine and other azanaphthalenes, these calculations provide good estimates of the transition energies and intensities of the ultraviolet spectrum of the parent heterocycle. The infrared spectra of the parent and other azanaphthalenes have been determined and discussed. Infrared data for several a- and y-hydroxy compounds confirm their existence, in solution and in the solid state, as oxo compounds. The visible and ultraviolet spectrum of the parent has been analyzed. In 95% ethanol the principal peaks are at 232 and 309 nm. The spectrum is substantially the same as that of quinoxaline, and analogous derivatives of the two heterocycles also possess similar spectra. Comparative ultraviolet data have been used to differentiate between amino derivatives of pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine and pyrido[2,3-fc]pyrazine and between isomeric dihydro and tetrahydro derivatives of the [3,4-b]system. PMR data are available for certain... 

Values for the internal variables in thermodynamic, internal equilibrium are generally uniquely defined by the values for the external variables. For instance, in a simple, thermomechanical system (i.e. one that reacts mechanically solely volume-elastically) the equilibrium concentrations of the conformational isomers are uniquely described by temperature and pressure. In this case the conformational isomerism is not explicitly perceptible, but causes only overall effects, for example in the system s enthalpy or entropy. Drastic macroscopic effects may, however, occur hen the relationship between internal and external variabfcs is not single-valued. Then the response-functions of the system diverge or show discontinuities. The Systran undergoes a thermodynamic transformation. The best-known example of such a transformation based on conformational isomerism is the helix-coil transition displayed by souk polymers in solution. An example in the solid state is the crystal-to-condis oystal transition discussed in this paper. The conditions under which such transformations occur are dealt with in more detafl in Sect. 2.2. 

In another review on a related subject, Alkorta and Elguero have summarised the GIAO calculations of chemical shifts and absolute shieldings and their correlation with experimentally measured chemical shifts for aromatic hetero-cycles. Automatic assignment, conformational analysis, E/Z isomerism, and, in particular, tautomerism, have been discussed in detail. In addition, solid state and solvent effects, as well as the problem of heteroaromaticity have been examined. The review ends with the discussion of some methodological aspects with a special emphasis on the calculation of reference chemical shifts, such as those for TMS and nitromethane. 

Various photochemical reactions occurring in CPs and MOFs have been discussed in this chapter. These result in interesting solid-state structural transformations affecting the connectivity, dimensionality, interpenetration and topology. Further [2-1-2] cycloaddition reactions have also been used for post-synthetic modification of surfaces to create reactive sites and radicals that are not possible by conventional synthetic routes, polymerization on the surfaces, trans-cis isomerization of the guest molecules in the cavities using the dynamic behavior of the structures, etc. Polymerization has also been observed in a number of CPs but the nature of the final products could only be predicted in the absence of crystal structures. Further, the [2-1-2] photochemical dimerization reaction has been used to follow the changes in the solid state, especially the formation of... 

Isomerization of coordination compounds is one important class of thermal transformation. In the case of inert complexes such isomerization may be irreversible and so allow the preparation of specific isomers. Some transformations of this type (e.g. isomerization of square-planar complexes) were introduced in Chapter 1 and additional examples will be discussed in Section 12.10. In this Chapter the use of solid state thermal transformations in synthetic coordination chemistry is discussed. Work on the use of thermal methods as analytical tools in coordination chemistry can be found... 

Excimer formation can be explained in terms of a combination of local rotational isomeric and longer range diffusional motions of the chain. In polymer solution we observed and discuss the role of both in solid film any type of movement is generally restricted, and the mobility of a polymer in a gel state is rather between the solution and soUd, a more precise description of which was published by de Gennes [50].
