Infrared absorption curves have been obtained in the 2-15 µ region for a series of metal chelates of 2-(2-pyridyl)-and 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl) -derivatives of benzimidazole, imidazoline, benzoxazole and benzothiazole. Use was made of the potassium bromide pressed pellet technique for the preparation of samples. Particular attention has been focussed on the 3 µ region in order to observe the effects of coordination on the N-H stretching frequency. Coordination of the reagent with a metal ion decreases the N-H stretching frequency. This is explained in terms of resonance structures.Evidence is given for an intramolecular chelate structure in 2-( o-hydroxyphenyl) -benzimidazole. 2-(o-Hydroxyphenyl) -benzoxazole and its chelates have an absorption band at 8.0 µ (1250 kayser) which undergoes a regular shift, paralleling the usual stability order of the metals. The copper(II) chelate is at the highest frequency.
The coordination of 2-(2-pyridyl)-benzimidazole and %(2-pyridyl)-imidazoline with various divalent metal ions has Coordination with a metal ion tends to increase the acidity of the imino hydrogen of theimidazole group, been described. the acidity increase being a function of the individual metal.
Feb., 193J NOTES 309 M and (CeH&PO = 1.60 X A I ; therefore, a plot of 1/OD-ODwhere OD is the optical density, vemus time is the proper derived function for a second-order reaction with the reactants a t equal equivalent con~eiitrations.~ The upper abscissa has been added to show the t.emperature in the reaction cell as a function of time. The slope of Fig. 1 a t any given temperature is then corrected for the change in density of the solvent with temperature and for a small change in the molar extinction coefficient of sulfur with temperature. The resultant Arrhenius plot (Fig. 2) of log corrected slope versim 1 / T gives an activation energy of 16.5 f 0.4 kcal./mole, in agreement with 16.0 f 0.2 kcal./mole.

Ultraviolet analysis of sulfur, titr. iodometric analysis of the phosphine.The main requirements for the use of this method are (i) the rate of reaction is moderately slow a t the lowest temperature; (ii) the temperature in the cell must be uniform; (iii) the activation energy does not vary with temperature; (iv) the boiling point of the solvent cannot be exceeded; and (v) Beer's law must be obeyed even though the molar extinction coefficient may change with temperature. Requirement (ii) restricts the size of the cell and the rate of heating. If the activation energy varies greatly with temperature one would be unable to obtain the correct order of the reaction and the rate constants. The main disadvantage of this method is that only a small percentage of reaction is used to determine the rate at any one temperature. The advantage is obtaining the rate, the order of the reaction, the frequency factor and the activation energy in a single rapid experiment. ExperimentalThe purification of sulfur, triphenylphosphine and benzene has been reported previously.* The use of the ultraviolet absorption spectrum of sulfur to study this reaction a t a constant temperature and with conventional techniques will be subject to a forthcoming publication.@ The thermostated cell compartment for a Beckman D U spectrophotometer has been discussed.1O The brass jacket was carefully made to ensure good thermal contact with a square Corex cell. To the top of the cell was sealed a 7 mm. Pyrex t8ube (15 cm. in length) through which a multi-junction thermocouple was placed into the cell just above the light path The output of the thermocouple was applied to a Speedomax recorder. The reactants were mixed and placed in the cell (total volume 1 to 2.6 4). Water, circulated a t the rate of one gallon per minute through the compartment, was slowly heated. Optical density measurements were manually recorded every 30 seconds at 345 mp. The heating rate does not enter into the graphic analysis of the data but averaged 0.5 degree per minute to cover the range of 23 to 77". Other heating rates can be used to cover only ...
