Internal Rotation Effects And Nuclear Hyperfine Structure In The Microwave Spectrum Of Propyne-Hf, Roger E. Bumgarner Jan 1983

Internal Rotation Effects And Nuclear Hyperfine Structure In The Microwave Spectrum Of Propyne-Hf, Roger E. Bumgarner

Masters Theses

The microwave spectrum of the weakly bound propyne-HF/DF complex in the region between 6 and 16 GHz was analyzed. The spectrum was characteristic of a distorted T-shaped asymmetric top exhibiting torsional splitting caused by a low barrier to internal rotation of the methyl top relative to the propyne-HF frame. Deuterium substitution of HF confirms that the acid proton of HF is located between the F atom and the propyne triple bond. The spectroscopic constants given below are consistent with the fluorine atom being displaced toward the methyl group from a line perpendicular to and bisecting the propyne triple bond, suggesting …


Synthesis And Reactions Of Aromatic Ethers As Model Compounds For Coal, James Nicolas Ong Sy Jan 1983

Synthesis And Reactions Of Aromatic Ethers As Model Compounds For Coal, James Nicolas Ong Sy

Masters Theses

o-Anisic acid and o-ethoxybenzoic acid were reacted with pyridine hydriodide in pyridine at 115° for 3 days to yield 81% and 18% salicylic acid respectively. o-Anisic acid with KI in pyridine at 115° for 3 days gave 58% salicylic acid while o-anisic acid with LiI·3H2O in pyridine at 85° for 3 days gave 54% salicylic acid. p-Anisic acid and o-phenoxybenzoic acid did not undergo cleavage reactions with pyridine hydriodide under similar conditions.

Beta-methylnaphthyl beta-naphthyl ether(I) or alpha-methylnaphthyl alpha-naphthyl ether(II) with pyridine hydriodide in pyridine at 100-115° for 3 days showed no cleavage. Ether I …


Preparation And Characterization Of Tertiary Phosphine Carbonyl Ruthenium (0) Complexes, Joann C. Bady Jan 1983

Preparation And Characterization Of Tertiary Phosphine Carbonyl Ruthenium (0) Complexes, Joann C. Bady

Masters Theses

Dichlorocarbonyltris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium (II), Ru(CO)(Cl)2(Ph3P)3, was prepared by modification of a procedure reported to yield the dimer, (Ru(CO)(Cl)2(Ph3P)2)2. Dissolution of Ru(CO)(Cl)2(Ph3P)3 in acetonitrile resulted in loss of triphenylphosphine and dimer formation.

Metathesis of Ru(CO)(Cl)2(Ph3P)3 in hexane with excess tertiary phosphine yielded complexes of the type Ru(CO)(Cl)2-(R2R′P)3 where R2R′P is Ph2MeP or PhMe2P. 1H and 31p nmr spectra of these materials showed that two phosphines are …


Analysis Of The Surface Polysaccharides Of R. Trifolii Su843 And Its Sym Plasmid Alterated Mutants, Jauh-Lin Duh Jan 1983

Analysis Of The Surface Polysaccharides Of R. Trifolii Su843 And Its Sym Plasmid Alterated Mutants, Jauh-Lin Duh

Masters Theses

The Rhizobium trifolii polysaccharides from SU843 and mutants--HC843(pBR1AN), HC843, 8002--in which the sym plasmid is replaced, absent, or mutated by transposon Tn5 were isolated. The surface polysaccharides of genetically altered mutants were compared quantitatively and qualitatively with one another and with the parent strain. The interpretation of these results is discussed in relation to the function of Rhizobium surface polysaccharides in the symbiotic process. The symbiotic ability of SU843 and mutant strains is as follows: (a) SU843, nod+, fix+; (b) mutant 8002, roa+ (still attaches to root hair), hac-, nod-; (c) …
