13C Substituent chemical shifts of the carbonyl sites in the side-chains of meta-and para-substituted benzenes of the type XC,H,COZ have been measured. Analysis of this data using the dual substituent parameter method shows that inductive effects are predominant, The reverse inductive contribution observed is explained in terms of a xpolarization mechanism. Critical support for this mechanism is obtained from additional series where the carbonyl is complexed with Lewis acids. The concepts of ' extended ' and ' localized ' n-polarization are discussed. -2.23 -0.
As proton concentration increases, the first two
reversible (1 e-)-reduction processes of the anion
α-[S2Mo18O62]4-
in 95/5 MeCN/H2O convert to an overall (2
e-)-reduction process. Half-wave potentials for
reversible one-electron reduction of
[S2Mo18O62]4-
itself and its two one-electron-reduced forms
[S2Mo18O62]5-
and
[HS2Mo18O64]4-
were estimated by voltammetry to be 0.12, −0.13, and 0.35 V,
respectively, versus the ferrocenium/ferrocene
couple. Simulation of cyclic voltammograms provided estimates of
association constants of 1.4, 1.6 × 108, and
102 M-1 for protonation of the
respective products of the reductions,
[S2Mo18O62]5-,
[S2Mo18O62]6-,
and
[HS2Mo18O62]5-.
Equilibrium constants for disproportionation of the (1
e-)-reduced species were derived. Rates
of the electron transfer and protonation processes are very fast
relative to the voltammetric time scale.
Consideration
of the equilibrium constants, plus information obtained from acid
titrations monitored by steady state voltammetry,
helped define conditions for the isolation of salts of the (1
e-)-, (2 e-)-, (2 e-, 1
H+)-, (2 e-, 2 H+)-, (4
e-, 2 H+)-
and (4 e-, 4 H+)-reduced derivatives of the
[S2Mo18O62]4-
anion. Anions at the (6 e-)- and (8
e-)-reduced levels
undergo spontaneous oxidation in the acid solutions and could not be
isolated experimentally. The present work
shows that directed synthesis of reduced species in different
protonation states is possible for these complex
systems if adequate voltammetric data are available.
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.
