Compounds I, II and III, were used as models resembling gear systems (bods connecting CR3 groups to the skeletal molecule are parallel) in surveying the potential energy surface for their internal rotation. The magnitude of the barriers calculated for averaging the NMR signals, placed these compounds in the range of measurement accessible by dynamic NMR spectroscopy (which is cur...

2014 Proton n.m.r. relaxation time measurements have been made on bicyclo[2.2.2]octane (BCO) and bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene (BCOE). Measurements for each sample were made throughout the plastic and brittle phases, down to 77 K. The results have been interpreted in terms of the various molecular motions occurring in the solid. Below the plastic-brittle phase transition point anisotropic molecular r...

The title compound, C(18)H(28)N(5)O(2) (+)·I(-), was observed as a main product in an intended 1:1 reaction between 4-iodo-nitro-benzene and 1,4-diaza-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). In the reaction, DABCO undergoes a ring opening to yield a quaternary salt of DABCO and 1-ethyl-4-(4-nitro-phen-yl)piperazine with an iodide anion. The crystal structure determination was carried out as no crystal s...
