The mass spectra of a series of hexaalkyldimetals are described and discussed. The fragmentation rules available i n the literature for organornetallic compounds of group 1V B are also valid here. The PMR spectra of these derivatives have been recorded and analyzed.The mass spectra of several dimetals of group IV B, including hexaphenyldisilicium (9, digermanium derivatives R,Ge, [R' = iPr (2)
SUMMARY.Recehred : 05/03/1992 -Accepted : 14/09/1992The acidity function H. of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in aqueous acetonitrile has been evaluated by use of H a m e t t indicators in the range of molar fractions in water lying between 0.05 and 0.65. The results are correlated with the available data concerning the structure of these mixtures.
It is shown that one ortho methyl group has a weaker accelerating effect than a para methyl group in the iododestannylation of phenyltrialkyltins, whatever the size of the alkyl chains bound to the tin atom. Two ortho methyl groups lead to a rate which is exactly that calculated assuming additivity of the effects, when the leaving group is Sn(CH3)3. If Sn(nPr)3 is the leaving group, 2, 6‐disubstitution leads to a small but significant increase in rate. The results are interpreted in terms of overcrowding in the reactant, and of relief of strain in the transition state; the observed effects are however smaller here than in the case of similar silicon derivatives, and the difference is attributed to the difference in carbon‐metal bond lengths.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
