Hammett Correlations Of Carbonyl 13c Chemical Shifts In A Series Of N-(4-Substituted Phenyl)-6-Chloro-5-Fluoronicotinamides, Frank L. Setliff, John W. Hawley, Alan D. Toland Jan 1995

Hammett Correlations Of Carbonyl 13c Chemical Shifts In A Series Of N-(4-Substituted Phenyl)-6-Chloro-5-Fluoronicotinamides, Frank L. Setliff, John W. Hawley, Alan D. Toland

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A series of nine N-(4-substituted phenyl)-6-chloro-5- fluoronicotinamides exhibited excellent correlations of their carbonyl 13C shifts (5CO,ppm as measured in DMSO) with the standard Hammett substituent constants (c?R) of the substituent inthe 4-position. The linear relationship was defined by the equation 8CO ¦ 1.22


Scf-Mo Conformational Analysis Of Polycroconaine, T. E. Ezell, Jerry A. Darsey Jan 1995

Scf-Mo Conformational Analysis Of Polycroconaine, T. E. Ezell, Jerry A. Darsey

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Abinitio calculations at the STO-3G basis set level using GAUSSIAN 92 were conducted on the monomer unit of polycroconaine, a conducting polymer with conductive properties similar to several metals, in order to determine the most probable conformation of the monomer. We also compared the energy difference between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals. Successive calculations were performed at dihedral angle intervals of 30° around the central bond of the monomer. Minimum energy was observed at 0° bond rotation, consistent with a theory that the polymer owes many of its conductive properties to a planar configuration in combination with …

Spectroscopic Temperature Measurements For A Direct Current Arcjet Diamond Chemical Vapor Deposition Reactor, Scott W. Reeve, Wayne A. Weimer

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The diamond thin filmcommercial market isprojected to exceed one billion dollars by the year 2000. Potential applications of diamond thin films range from cutting tools to electronics tomedical devices. The explosion ofinterest in this fieldresults from the extreme properties diamond possesses: itis the hardest material known toman and yet, has a coefficient of friction similar to Teflon;its ability to conduct heat is five times that of copper; and diamond is completely inert. However, despite the tremendous economic incentive, there are still several technological barriers preventing diamond filmscale-up to commercial production. Included among these are a fundamental understanding of the gas …
