Searching and Browsing the Abstracts
Searching:
The formulas and special characters appearing in titles and
abstracts have been encoded with TeX, denoted with "$"'s around the expression, to facilitate
searching. In general, note and follow these instructions:
- At this time, searches are not case-sensitive.
- Use quotation marks around search terms or phrases (i.e., "Intermolecular Forces" or "H_2 O").
- To search Greek letters or other special characters, write their names out (i.e., \pi, \leftarrow, \Sigma, pm (for plus minus), etc.).
- If searching expression found in an abstract, replace each "\$" symbol with quotation marks (i.e., \$Kr^{3+}\$ becomes "Kr^{3+}" or \$^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{u}\$ becomes "^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{u}" to search).
- Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) must be ALL CAPS when used (i.e., Nafie AND 1990, title:"H_ 2" NOT 1985, etc.)
- If, when searching a molecule, no hits are returned, try adding a space between any sub- or superscripted element in the search term (i.e., "C_6H_6" will not produce hits, but "C_6 H_6" will).

Item VIBRATIONAL STUDIES OF RELATED MONOSUBSTITUTED PYRIDINES(Ohio State University, 1974) Kimmel, Howard S.; Abdel Shafy, Hussein I.The infrared and Raman spectra of pyridine, 2-, 3-and 4-chloro, bromo and methylpyridines, 2-fluoro, 2- and 4-iodo, 2-amino, 4-ethyl, and 4-vinylpyridines have been measured. Tentative assignments of the observed frequencies of 2-amino, 4-ethyl, 4-vinyl and the iodopyridines are reported for the first time. The infrared data for 2-fluoro-pyridine was combined with previously reported Raman data to allow complete vibrational assignments of this compound. Correlations between related series of pyridine derivatives are investigated. Further, possible correlations between the vibrations of monosubstituted pyridines and the corresponding vibrations of monosubstituted benzene compounds were studied.Item RAMAN DEPOLARIZATION RATIOS AND THE SYMMETRY OF Si (NCO)4 AND Ge $(NOC)_{4}$(Ohio State University, 1974) Snider, A. Monroe; Miller, Foil A.This study of silicon and germanium tetraisocyante was undertaken to determine whether the $M - N = C = O$ group is linear or bent (presumably at the nitrogen atom). The molecules would have tetrahedral symmetry if the ligand is linear, a configuration that presumably would occur if $p_\pi-d_\pi$ bonding exists between the nitrogen and the M atom. Tetrahedral symmetry requires the depolarization ratio, $\rho$, for totally symmetric fundamentals must be zero. An earlier study in 1961 (1) reported that ``the data for $Si(NCO)_{4}$ fit a tetrahedral model fairly well” and that ``$Ge(NOC)_{4}$ deviates in some unknown way from being tetrahedral”. On the basis of $\rho$ values and selection rules we conclude that neither $Si(NCO)_{4}$ nor $Ge(NCO)_{4}$ has $T_{d}$ symmetry. The usefulness of $\rho$ values as an independent and sensitive criterion for of against $T_{d}$ symmetry is thus illustrated.Item THE NORMAL MODES OF CYCLOPROPENONE(Ohio State University, 1974) Tuazon, E. C.; Miller, Foil A.The C = C stretching frequencies of cyclopropenone and cyclopropenone-$d_{2}$ present [FIGURE] a puzzling problem. They are presumably the very intense and strongly polarized Raman bands at 1480 and 1409 $cm^{-1}$, respectively. These unusually low values are in sharp contrast to those observed when the substituents are methyl, chloro, of phenyl, for then the C = C frequencies are in the ``normal” range of $1620 - 1680 cm^{-1}$. The low values for H and D raise a question about the proper description of the normal mode involved in these cases. A normal coordinate analysis of cyclopropenone-$d_{0}$ and $-d_{2}$ has been carried out, and the potential energy distribution has been determined for each of the twelve normal modes of each molecule. The discussion will concentrate on the answer to the above problem.Item VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA AND ASSIGNMENTS FOR TWO FLUOROCYCLOPOPENES(Ohio State University, 1974) Craig, Norman C.; Parkin, Kathleen M.; Spiegel, David A.A complete assignment of vibrational fundamentals has been obtained for 1 H-trifluorocyclopropene-$d_{0}$ and -$d_{1}$. Low symmetry of the molecule has been an asset in this case. Based on normal coordinate calculations as well as spectra provisional assignments are given for 3,3-difluorocyclopropene-$d_{0}$ nd -$d_{2}$. Some generalizations concerning group frequencies in cyclopropenes will be offered.Item INTERPRETATION OF THE VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA OF SMALL RING SYSTEMS: PERFLUOROCYCLOBUTANE(Ohio State University, 1974) Harris, W. C.; Yang, D. B.The vibrational spectra of gaseous and solid perfluorocyclobutane have been interpreted in terms of a planar molecule with $D_{4h}$ symmetry in view of the observed mutual exclusion between the infrared and Raman frequencies. A vibrational assignment for perfluorocyclobutane is presented and based upon the observed infrared and Raman band contours, depolarization ratios, relative and intensities and positions. A comparison of the ring-puckering potential functions and skeletal structures of cyclobutane, 1,1-difluorocyclobutane, trimethylene oxide and 3,3-difluoroexetane suggests the inversion barrier is reduced significantly upon introduction of a $CF_{2}$ group in the cyclic systems. The apparent trend toward planarity appears to continue in 1,1,2,2-tetrafluorocyclobutane and perfluorocyclobutane. The factors which may dictate the equilibrium structures of small ring molecules are considered in view of the data presently available.Item LOW FREQUENCY VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA AND RING-PUCKERING OF CYCLOPENTENE-$d_{8}$(Ohio State University, 1974) Villarreal, J. R.; Laane, J.; Harris, W. C.The ring-puckering potential energy function for cyclopentene-$d_{8}$ has been determined from its vibrational spectra. The potential function and barrier are consistent with previous analysis of cyclopentene-$d_{0}$. In the Raman spectrum of the vapor, a dozen bands corresponding to $\Delta v = \pm\ 2$ puckering transitions were observed.Item LOW FREQUENCY VIBRATION SPECTRA AND RING-PUCKERING OF BICYCLOHEPTENES(Ohio State University, 1974) Villarreal, J. R.; Laane, J.The infrared and Raman spectra of bicyclo (3.2.0) hept-6-ene and bicyclo (3.2.0) hept-2-ene have been examined. The vapor phase Raman spectrum of the former compound shows several closely spaced bands near 240 $cm^{-1}$ corresponding to ring-puckering transitions. This is consistent with a boat structure which is considerably lower in energy than a chair conformation. Results for the latter compound will also be discussed.Item VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA AND RING-PUCKERING OF 1,3-DISILACYCLOBUTANE(Ohio State University, 1974) Irwin, R. M.; Laane, J.1,3-Disilacyclobutane has been prepared and preliminary vibrational spectra have been recorded. Sum and difference bands resulting from the ring-puckering mode have been observed in both infrared and Raman spectra in the $SiH_{2}$ stretching region. A preliminary potential energy function for the ring-puckering indicates a potential barrier of approximately 100 $cm^{-1}$.Item THE VIBRATIONAL SPECTRUM AND INTERNAL ROTATION OF DIMETHYLCYANAMIDE, DIMETHYLCYANAMIDE-$d_{3}$, AND DIMETHYLCYANAMIDE-$d_{6}$(Ohio State University, 1974) Blackwood, H. DeWitt; Brown, Farrell B.The vibrational spectrum of dimethylcyanamide has been reinvestigated. Two deuterium substituted isotopes, previously unreported, have also been investigated. The gaseous, liquid, and solid phase infrared spectra of all three compounds are reported for the region 4000 $cm^{-1}$ to 33 $cm^{-1}$. In addition, the Raman spectrum of each compound has been observed. Assignments of fundamental vibrational modes are proposed and torsional barriers calculated.Item THE VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA OF TRIMETHYL ORTHOTRIFLUOROACETATE(Ohio State University, 1974) Snyder, William H.; Kimmel, Howard S.; Mensah, P.The infrared and Raman spectra of trimethyl orthotrifluoroacetate have been determined in the gaseous, liquid and solution phases. Assignment of the fundamental vibrational frequencies will be discussed and compared with other similar molecules.Item THE INTERPRETATION OF INFRARED AND RAMAN SPECTRA USING A BINARY CLASSIFIER(Ohio State University, 1974) Comerford, John M.; Snyder, William H.; Kimmel, Howard S.Using data from the recently published Sadtler Standard Raman Spectra, pattern recognition techniques were used to investigate digitized infrared and Raman spectra. Binary pattern classifiers were developed for several chemical classes, using both the infrared and the Raman spectra. High predictive abilities have been obtained in classifying unknown spectra. The vectors calculated for a particular class of compounds using several types of vibrational spectra have been compared in order to develop an aid in assigning vibrational frequencies. In addition, data developed by combining infrared and the several types of Raman spectra have been examined with this technique.Item VAPOR-PHASE RAMAN SPECTRA AND RING-PUCKERING OF BICYCLO (3.1.0) HEXANE AND RELATED COMPOUNDS(Ohio State University, 1974) Lewis, J. D.; Laane, J.; Malloy, Thomas B., Jr.Low-frequency gas phase Raman spectra have been recorded for bicycle (3.1.0) hexane, 3-oxabicyclo (3.1.0) hexane, 6-oxabicyclo (3.1.0) hexane, and 3, 6-dioxabicyclo (3.1.0) hexane. Raman transitions resulting from the out-of-plane ring modes have been assigned for each molecule. Ring-puckering transitions were observed for each molecule except 3,6-oxabicyclo (3.1.0) hexane. Six puckering transitions were observed for bicyclo (3.1.0) hexane, from which was derived an asymmetric single-minimum potential energy function of the form V = 24.70 ($Z^{4} + 25.72 Z^{2} + 9.28 Z^{3})$ $cm^{-1}$, where Z is the reduced puckering coordinate. The Raman results strongly indicate that bicyclo (3.1.0) hexane has a single stable ring-conformation. The twisting mode of the five-membered ring and the rocking mode of the three-membered ring were also observed for each of the four molecules.Item DIPOLAR BROADENING OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE LINES: A TOOL FOR STUDY OF DIMERIZATION AND CLUSTER FORMATION(Ohio State University, 1974) Menzel, E. R.; Wasson, John R.The ESR spectra of several copper (II) dithiocarbamates in a variety of solvents were investigated at room temperature in the concentration range of $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-1}$M. A very pronounced broadening of the magnetic resonance lines is observed at the higher concentrations. This broadening could not be interpreted by the Brownian motional model of Bloembergen, Purcell, and Pound, or similar theoretical formulations. The method of moments developed by Van Vleck for crystalline magnetic systems and extended to magnetically dilute crystalline cases by Kittel and Abrahams is adapted to solution cases involving molecules of size such that the motional correlation times become sufficiently long to allow a ``rigid liquid” treatment. The major weakness of the method of moments is the difficulty of characterization of the line shape, particularly in the near-Lorentzian case. A procedure is developed by which the line shapes are very closely approximated such that characterization of the line shape by the second moment alone is possible. The resulting first principle computations agree well with the data on the copper dithiocarbamates. In solutions containing dimers in addition to monomers, the dimer concentration (in the range of $10^{-4}$M) is obtained. The agreement between theory and experiment is also good for spectra of free radicals in solution.Item MEASUREMENTS OF LINE WIDTH AND SHIFT PARAMETERS FOR MICROWAVE ABSORPTION LINES(Ohio State University, 1974) Kakar, Ramesh K.; Poynter, R. L.The line width and shift parameters have been measured in the same experiment, with the aid of a computer controlled microwave spectrometer. The technique can be employed to rapidly and reproducibly measure these parameters for any microwave spectral line. As a test of this experimental method, the width and shift parameters were measured for the K = J self-broadened ammonia inversion lines. With a few exceptions, the width measurements are in general agreement with the work of Legan, et $al.^{1}$ However, the line shift parameters generally disagree with the values obtained by previous workers. The ammonia results and some preliminary results on formaldehyde will be presented. RKK acknowledges support by an NRC Resident Research Associateship.

When hexadecapolar and repulsive interactions are included, the discrepancy in the values of the quadrupole moment obtained by the bi-refringence method and line width calculations is at once resolved provided a value of $\Phi \sim$ 6D {\AA}$^{3}$ is used for the hexadecapole moment of oxygen.Item ROTATIONAL RELAXATION IN OCS(Ohio State University, 1974) Brown, Steven R.; Creswell, R. A.; Schwendeman, R. H.The pressure dependence of the polarization relaxation time, $T_{2}$, has been determined for the J = 1 $\rightarrow$ 2 rotational transition in OCS by measuring the linewidth of the transition, the exponential rise time of on-resonant transient absorption, and the exponential decay time of off-resonant transient absorption-emission. The values of the numbers obtained are nearly equal for all three experiments. However, the linewidth parameter is 2--5\% smaller than previously reported values. Also, the results for the transient experiments, expressed as a linewidth parameter, are slightly larger than the steady-state linewidth measurements. The possible reasons for these discrepancies will be discussed.Item MICROWAVE SPECTRUM OF METHYLDIFLUOROPHOSPHINE BORANE(Ohio State University, 1974) Creswell, R. A.; Elzaro, R. A.; Schwendeman, R. H.The microwave spectrum of methyldifluorophosphine borane $(CH_{3}PF_{2}BH_{3})$ has been observed in the region 18.0 to 40.0 GHz. Transitions with a and b-type selection rules have been assigned for both boron isotopes in the normal and $BD_{3}$ compounds. A barrier to internal rotation for the $CH_{3}$ group has been determined from ground state splittings in the parent species. The dipole moment and its components have been determined from an analysis of the Stark effect. Structural information has been derived from the observed rotational constants.Item USE OF FORBIDDEN TRANSITION FOR A BETTER DETERMINATION OF MOLECULAR PARAMETERS IN THIONYL FLUORIDE MOLECULE(Ohio State University, 1974) Dubrulle, A.; Boucher, D.; Burie, J.The thionyl fluoride molecule belongs to the point group $C_{s}$, and the electric dipole moment components on the principal axes are $\mu_{a}$ and $\mu_{c}$. The determination of molecular parameters has been obtained from a and c type $transitions.^{1,2}$ By the application of an electric field, forbidden b type transitions may be observed. A better definition of molecular parameters has been obtained by use of these results.Item MICROWAVE SPECTRA AND STRUCTURE OF DIMETHYLPHOSPHINEBORANE(Ohio State University, 1974) Hudgens, B. A.; Durig, J. R.The microwave spectra of six isotopic species of dimethyl-phosphineborane, $(CH_{3})_{2}HP^{11}BH_{3}$, $(CH_{3})_{2}H^{10}BH_{3}$, $(CH_{3})_{2}DP^{11}BH_{3}$, $(CH_{3})_{2}DP^{10}BH_{3}$, $(CH_{3})_{2}HP^{11}BD_{2}H$ and $(CH_{3})_{2}HP^{11}BD_{3}$ have been recorded and an $r_{o}$ structure obtained.Item MICROWAVE SPECTRUM OF SULFUR OXIDE TETRAFLUORIDE(Ohio State University, 1974) Shoemaker, Charles F.; Gum, Mary L.; Graybeal, Jack D.The electron diffraction studies of $SOF_{4}$ were initially interpreted to show that the molecule was in a trigonal bipyramid structure with a near trigonal structure in the equatorial plane and the axial F-S-F configuration bent slightly toward the equatorial $oxygen.^{1}$ Following the publication of Gillespie’s bonding concepts and the effect of electron pair repulsion, the authors revised their interpretation to show that the equatorial FSF angle was decreased and the axial F-S-F configuration was bent away from the equatorial $oxygen.^{2}$ The microwave spectrum of $SOF_{4}$ has been investigated in the 12.5 to 18 GHz region and 79 lines belonging to 6 series of Q-branch transitions have been measured and assigned. The Q-branch transitions have been fit using an analytical method analogous to the conventional A-C vs $\kappa$ type plotting routine. From the assignment the two parameters, $A-C = 974.2$ MHz and $2B-A-C = - 809.0$ MHz were determined. These parameters are not in absolute agreement with either of the electron diffraction results but do indicate that the later interpretation is substantially correct.
