The radical anions of pyrazine (pz-.) have been prepared at 294'K by reducing pyrazine (pz) with metallic potassium in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (dme). The resulting reactions of the radical anions are postulat'ed as being described by the equations: The e.s.r, and electronic absorption spectra of all pertinent species were recorded and examined. The kinetics of reaction (1) have been investigated in the dark as well as in light and values of the rate constants have been determined. I n light, reaction (1) did not conform strictly to second-order kinetics and this may be explained by an interaction of pyrazine with dme. The dimer dianion species (-pz-pz-, 2K7) was found to be stable in the dark but decayed slowly in light. This decay was found to exhibit first-order kmetics.

Molecular geometries of 2,4,4,6-tetraphenyl-4H-pyran (Ia), 4,4-(biphenyl-2,2e-diyl)-2,6-diphenyl-4H-pyran (Ib) and their heterocyclic isomers II-V were optimized by the PM3 method and used for the calculation of electronic absorption spectra by the CNDO/S-CI procedure. Comparison of the theoretical data with experimental UV-VIS absorption spectra made possible to select hypervalent molecules IIIa, IIIb, IVa and IVb being responsible for the photocolouration of 4H-pyrans Ia, Ib, while compounds Va, Vb, VI and VII come into account as possible photodegradation products. The bleaching process of the UV illuminated compound Ia is analyzed in terms of dispersive first-order reaction kinetics.

A two step operation is proposed for the biodegradation of low concentrations (< 10 mg/L) of BETX substances in an up flow submerged biotower configuration. Step 1 involves growth of a lush biofilm using benzoic acid in a batch mode. Step 2 involves a longer term biological transformation of BETX. Kinetics of biotransformations are modeled using first order assumptions, with rate constants being a function of benzoic acid dosages used in Step 1. A calibrated computer model is developed and presented to predict the degree of transformation and biomass level throughout the tower under a variety of inlet and design operational conditions.

The λ-C1-cis(N), δ-C1-cis(N), λ-C2-cis(N) and δ-C2-cis(N) isomers of the complex K[Co((S)-Pro)2CO3] were chromatographically separated and characterized by their electronic absorption spectra and CD spectra.

The effect of the halide ligand on the bonding of niobium in niobocene dichloride and niobocene diiodide was investigated. The electronic absorption spectra of the two compounds in the range of d-d transitions were resolved into four bands corresponding to transitions of the d1 electron between five frontier orbitals in a molecule of symmetry point group C2v. The energies of the frontier molecular orbitals were determined relatively to the energy of the orbitals in the spherically symmetric ligand field formed by the appropriate halide ligands. The effect of the halide ligands on the spin-orbital interaction of the HOMO orbital is discussed qualitatively on the basis the ESR spectra.
