Solubility infrared spectra

Natural Occurrence of ( — )-proto-Quercitol. Although the dextrorotatory form (12) of proto-quercitol was discovered in acorns more than a century ago by Braconnot (5), who at first thought that it was lactose, the levorotatory form (13) remained unknown until 1961. In that year, Plouvier isolated it from leaves of the tree Eucalyptus populnea the yield was 0.55% (36). The optical rotation of the new compound was equal and opposite to that of the dextro enantiomer, and it was identical to the latter in its crystal form, melting point, solubilities, molecular formula and infrared spectrum. 

Otsuka et al. (107) describe [Ni(CNBu )2], as a reddish brown microcrystalline substance, which is extremely air-sensitive. It can be recrystallized from ether at —78°C, and is soluble in benzene in the latter solution the infrared spectrum (2020s, br, 1603m, 1210m) and proton NMR (three peaks of equal intensity at t8.17, 8.81, and 8.94) were obtained. Neither analytical data nor molecular weight is available on this complex. The metal-ligand stoichiometry is presumably established by virtue of the molar ratio of reactants and by the stoichiometries of various reaction products. 

Carborane, Bk>C2Hi2, is quite soluble in aromatic solvents and is sparingly soluble in aliphatic solvents. The infrared spectrum has been previously reported.25 The proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of a chloroform-d3 solution of carborane contains a broad CH resonance at 6.46 t. 

Methylcarborane is an air-stable, white crystalline solid which is soluble in common organic solvents. The infrared spectrum (Nujol mull) contains major absorption bands at 3.90 (s), 8.83 (w), 9.12 (w), 9.69 (w), 9.83 (w), 10.03 (w), and 13.85 (s) p. The proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of a carbon tetrachloride solution of methylcarborane contains a broad —CH resonance of intensity 1 at 6.52 r and a —CH3 resonance of intensity 3 at 8.02 r. 

Reaction of HCofPfOPh), with PMMA. A 1.0g sample of PMMA and 1.0g of the cobalt compound were combined as above. After pyrolysis at 375°C for two hours the tube is noted to contain char extending over the length of the tube with a small amount of liquid present. The gases were found to contain CO, C02, hydrocarbon (probably methane), and 0.1 Og methyl methacrylate. Upon addition of acetone, 1.0g of soluble material and 0.19g of insoluble may be recovered. The infrared spectrum of the insoluble fraction is typical of char. 

Infrared Spectrum. The plasma polymerized organic film shows features distinctive from the conventional polymer. According to ESR measurements (31), the film contains a high concentration of residual free radicals, which showed a relatively long life time. The free radicals were oxidized in air and the oxidization is promoted significantly at elevated temperatures. The film is not soluble in usual solvents and it is more thermally stable than the conventional polymers. These properties are thought to be caused by the highly crosslinked structure of the film (32). 

The infrared spectrum in the carbonyl stretching region is very useful in characterizing these complexes (Table I). Three infrared active bands are predicted 18 however, limited solubility may preclude observation of the weaker bands. Dimer formation is easily detected by the presence of characteristic bands.12... 

Pentacarbonyl(diphenylmethylene)tungsten(0) is a moderately air-stable soild that is readily soluble in most organic solvents. The resulting solutions are air and light sensitive and decomposed thermally at about 50°. The infrared spectrum of a heptane solution shows bands in the metal carbonyl region at 2070 (m), 1971 (s), and 1963 (s) cm"1, characteristic of a group VI pentacar-bonyl species. The proton NMR spectrum in CS2 or acetone-d6 shows a complex multiplet at 5 7.2 relative to internal tetramethylsilane. 

Di-p-chloro-bis(i74-l,5-cyclooctadiene)dirhodium(I) is a yellow-orange, air-stable solid. It can be used directly as obtained for preparative purposes5 or as a precursor for homogeneous catalysts.3,4 It can be recrystallized from dichloro-methane-diethyl ether to give orange prisms. The compound is soluble in dichloro-methane somewhat less soluble in acetone and insoluble in pentane and diethyl ether. Characteristic strong bands occur in the infrared spectrum at 819, 964, and 998 cm 1 (Nujol mull). The cyclooctadiene vinylic protons resonate in the 1H NMR spectrum at t 5.7 and the allylic protons at t 7.4-8.3 (deuteriochloroform solution). Other physical properties are given by Chatt.1...

Few physical properties of the major product, the common thymine dimer, have been recorded. The NMR spectrum is known,4,1,7 as is the infrared spectrum,33,43 but there is a disagreement about the melting point, values ranging from 24233 to over 320°C34a,6S having been observed. Solubilities and pK values are known only qualitatively. 

CpFe(CO)(p-CN)2Cu(PCy3) 2 is formed as a yellow powder that is soluble in THF and dichloromethane and insoluble in acetonitrile. A dichloromethane solution of the complex is stable in an inert atmosphere for weeks. The infrared spectrum of the compound in dichloromethane shows j/cn and i/qo bands at 2115 (s) and 1974 (vs) cm, respectively. The P NMR spectrum in dichloromethane at room temperature has a broad peak at 15.16 ppm. The peak sharpens and shifts slightly upheld to 14.84 ppm as the temperature is lowered to — 80°C. 

Treatment of complexes of the type [Co2(CO)6(RC CH)] with hydrochloric acid in ethanol gives stable complexes of the composition [C03-(CO)9(C2HR)H] 156). The acetylene complex (R = H) is neutral, soluble in organic solvents, diamagnetic, and the infrared spectrum shows the absence of bridging carbonyl groups. This acetylenic complex is identical with the product obtained by treating 1,1,1-trichloroethane with dicobalt... 

Table VII the electron-beam exposure characteristics are given for the soluble poly (triphenylmethyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate)s. The sensitivity on alkaline development was strongly influenced by the copolymer composition. The highest sensitivity was obtained on the copolymer containing 93.7 mol% methyl methacrylate. The copolymer of highest sensitivity showed the 7-value of 6.3, which was nearly twice as large as that for poly(methyl methacrylate). Formation of methacrylic acid units on exposure is obvious from the infrared spectrum. However, the mechanism of the occurrence should be different from the case of the a,a-dimethylbenzyl methacrylate polymer since there are no /3-hydrogen atoms in the triphenylmethyl group, and may be similar to the case of poly (methyl methacrylate). This will be explored in the near future.

What is the nature of the insoluble forms of the prion protein They are hard to study because of the extreme insolubility, but the conversion of a helix to (3 sheet seems to be fundamental to the process and has been confirmed for the yeast prion by X-ray diffraction.11 It has been known since the 1950s that many soluble a-helix-rich proteins can be transformed easily into a fibrillar form in which the polypeptide chains are thought to form a P sheet. The chains are probably folded into hairpin loops that form an antiparallel P sheet (see Fig. 2-ll).ii-11 For example, by heating at pH 2 insulin can be converted to fibrils, whose polarized infrared spectrum (Fig. 23-3A) indicates a cross-P structure with strands lying perpendicular to the fibril axis >mm Many other proteins are also able to undergo similar transformation. Most biophysical evidence is consistent with the cross-P structure for the fibrils, which typically have diameters of 7-12 rnn."-11 These may be formed by association of thinner 2 to 5 nm fibrils.00 However, P-helical structures have been proposed for some amyloid fibrils 3 and polyproline II helices for others. 1 11...
