The carbon acid 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane reacts with phenyltetramethylguanidine in the aprotic solvents acetonitrile, benzonitrile, and chlorobenzene in a bimolecular proton transfer reaction. The primary isotope effects, kH/kD, for these reactions at 25 °C are 8.5 ± 0.4, 6.1 ± 0.4, and 16 in acetonitrile, benzonitrile, and chlorobenzene respectively. The magnitude of the isotope effects on the enthalpy of activation [Formula: see text] are 2.3 ± 0.2, 1.6 ± 0.7, and 4.2 ± 0.6 kcal mol−1, which indicates a contribution from proton tunnelling to the reaction rate of the normal substrate.

Solvation of Li+, Be2+, Na+, Mg2+, and Al3+ ions has been studied in binary mixtures with dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile and water, and in ternary mixtures of the organic solvents with water. The CNDO/2 quantum chemical method was used to calculate the energies of solvation, molecular structures and charge distributions for the complexes acetonitrile...ion (1:1, 2:1, 4:1), dimethyl sulphoxide...ion (1:1), dimethylformamide...ion (1:1), and acetonitrile (dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide)...ion...water (1:1:1).

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been measured of six trans-azobenzenes substituted at 2 and 2’ positions with substituents favourable for complex formation with a metal (OH, NH2, NHCOCH3, COOH). From the standpoint of NMR such substituted trans-azobenzenes are present in solution in a rapid equilibrium following from rotation around the bond between C-1 of phenyl group and N atom of azo linkage. The predominant form has the substituent in the syn-position with respect to the free electron pair of the nearer azo nitrogen atom. The equilibrium is affected by dipolar aprotic solvents (such as hexadeuteriodimethyl sulfoxide) by decreasing the presence of the predominant form by 1 to 11%.

The reaction between 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and the alkoxide bases ŌCH3, ŌC2H5, ŌnC4H9, ŌCH(CH3)2, and ŌC(CH3)3 in their corresponding alcohol solvents is a multistep reaction with several intermediates: 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-alkoxyethane (A), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1-fluoro-1-alkoxyethene (B), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-dialkoxyethene (C), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoroethene (D), and 4,4′-dinitrobenzophene (E). Rate constants and activation parameters have been measured for the appearance of the two stable products B and C. The kinetic deuterium isotope effects for the appearance of B fell in the range of kH/kD = 1 to 2 at 25 °C for the primary and secondary alkoxides, whereas kH/kD = 5.4 at 30 °C for the appearance of D with tert-butoxide. Exchange experiments showed that H/D exchange took place between the substrate and solvent to the extent of 100% with methoxide, 50% with ethoxide and isopropoxide, and 0% with tert-butoxide. It is concluded the HF elimination from the substrate follows an (ElcB)R mechanism with methoxide/methanol, changing to (ElcB)I or E2 with tert-butoxide/tert-butanol.
