The spectrum and yield of solvated electrons in anhydrous hydrazine have been investigated by pulse radiolysis. At room temperature the optical absorption band has a maximum at 1.22 eV (1015 nm) with a molar extinction coefficient of 2.2 ± 0.1 × 104 M−1 cm−1 and a temperature coefficient of 1.5 × 10−3 eV deg−1 from 7–45 °C. The oscillator strength is estimated to be 0.6. The optical transition energy is in reasonable agreement with an empirical correlation of solvent properties proposed by Freeman provided that only the polarisability of the nitrogen lone-pair electrons contribute to Emax. Comparisons are made with liquid amides which also have lone-pair polarisable groups and with water and liquid ammonia which have physical properties very similar to hydrazine. Electron yields increase from [Formula: see text] in pure hydrazine to 2.65 + 0.15 in basic solutions containing ≥0.1 M sodium hydrazide.

The analysis of the n.m.r, spectra of 2,2?-, 3,3?-, and 4,4?-bipyridyl and three dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyls is reported and the factors determining the relative chemical shifts of the ring protons and methyl groups in several solvents are discussed. The diamagnetic anisotropy of the neighbouring ring and electrostatic field effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons are shown to be of roughly equal importance for derivatives of 2,2?-bipyridyl except in hydrogen bonding solvents. Attenuation of the electrostatic field effect in polar, and particularly in hydrogen bonding solvents, is established for 4- picoline, and for the bipyridyls, and this effect is responsible for striking changes in the spectrum of 2,2?-bipyridyl in hydrogen bonding solvents. An approximate interplanar angle of 58� is derived for 3,3?- dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyl, and 2,2?-bipyridyl and its 4,4?- and 5,5?- dimethyl derivatives appear to be trans coplanar in all solvents. 3,3?- Bipyridyl and 4,4?-bipyridyl are probably highly twisted in all solvents, or alternatively, behave as essentially free rotors. The predicted conformations are in good agreement with the electronic spectral data.

Charge-transfer (CT) complexation between some [2.2]- and [2.2.2]paracyclophane-carbamates as donors with 2,3-dichloro-5.6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDO ) as well as tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) as π-acceptors has been evidenced by VIS. 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The site of interaction in the two different donor systems was determined. The results reveal no contribution of the nitrogen lone pair electrons of the carbamate functional group in the CT complexation. and the interaction is mainly of π-π* type. In addition, the existence of the transannular electronic interactions in [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives is responsible for CT complex formation.

Proton Chemical Shifts

AbstractProton chemical shifts in styryldiazines and diazaphenanthrenes linearly correlate with SCF-π-electron densities of the attached carbon atom and with the electron densities of the hydrogen atom (calculated by the CNDO/2 method). The observed deviations from linearity are discussed in terms of ring current effect, steric effects and the paramagnetic effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons. An appreciable weakening of ring current is found for diazaphenanthrenes with two adjacent N-atoms. Under the same condition the paramagnetic effect on ortho-hydrogens is increased.

Abstract The electron paramagnetic resonance of copper (II)-tetrammine nitrate in solution of methanol and water has been investigated. The data obtained from the spectra at room temperature and 97 °K together with the optical transition energies determined from single crystal polarized absorption spectra at 77 °K by other authors were used to calculate the LCAO-MO bonding parameters. The bonding orbital of the ammonia molecule cannot be described by the concept of sp2 hybridization which was exclusively used in the theory. Therefore a calculation of the overlap integral S(n) for α bonding and of the superhyperfine splitting was carried out in terms of an arbitrary hybridization parametern. For ammonia, n was taken from the Duncan-Pople hybrid wave function for the lone pair orbital. The o bonding and the out-of-plane π bonding appear to have a moderate degree of covalency (α = Ϭ = 0.91; α’= 0.49). The covalent in-plane n bonding is somewhat stronger (β = 0.87) but is by no means so strongly covalent as is observed in compounds with ligands which do not exclusively coordinate through the lone pair electrons. At low temperature nine ligand nuclear superhyperfine structure lines corresponding to the interaction of four magnetically equivalent nitrogen nuclei have been observed. The value of α' derived from the superhyperfine splitting is in excellent agreement with that obtained from the copper nucleus hyperfine structure.

The contributions of the dispersive and repulsive potentials to the lattice energy of S -triazine are calculated on the basis of bond-bond and atom-atom interactions respectively. The cell dimensions obtained by minimizing the energy agree with the experimental data to within 4% and the heat of sublimation derived from the vapour pressure measurements is quite close to the calculated lattice energy. The probable effect of the electrostatic forces is dis­cussed and found to be of only marginal importance in determining the crystal structure. No evidence is found for anomalously large repulsions by the nitrogen-lone pair electrons.
