Such marking material or toner, whether con tained in an insulating liquid or on a dry carrier, can be deposited on the exposed surface in accordance with either the charge pattern or the absence of charge pattern as desired. 25 The deposited marking material may then be either per manently fixed to the surface of the sensitive element by known means such as heat, pressure, solvent vapor, or the R like, or transferred to a second element to which it may similarly be fixed. Likewise, the electrostatic latent image can 30 be transferred to a second element and developed there.

  • THE THREE NITRO-TRIPHENYLAMINES. (I) Theoretical Part. Hitherto, Only One Mono-Nitro Derivative of Triphenylamine Has Been Known
    2006 JEAN PICCARD AND LOUIS M. LARSEN. [CONTRIBUTIONFROM THE KENTCHEMICAL LABORATORY OF THE UNIVERSITYOF CHICAGO.] THE THREE NITRO-TRIPHENYLAMINES. BY JGAN PICCARD AND LOUISM. LARSEN. Received July 9, 1917. (I) Theoretical Part. Hitherto, only one mono-nitro derivative of triphenylamine has been known; it was prepared by Herz’ in the year 1890 by the treatment of triphenylamine with nitric acid. Although this method of preparation contains no proof as to whether it is an ortho, a meta, or a para derivative, it was, nevertheless, listed in the literature as the para. For a purpose,2 which will be discussed later, Piccard and Kharasch, needed the p-nitro- triphenylamine. Since we could not find in the literature any proof for the constitution of the compound prepared by her^,^ nor a general method for the preparation of the nitro-triphenylamines, we tried to prepare p-nitro-triphenylamine by the introduction of phenyl groups into p-nitran- iline. The substance thus produced was indeed identical with the product prepared by Herz. Against our proof, however, the objection could be raised, that a rearrangement might have taken place in the course of the reaction (heating for 30 hours at 200” in the presence of potassium car- bonate). Were this last objection valid, then we could not obtain, when starting from the three mono-nitranilines, three different mono-nitro- triphenylarnines. Hence we phenylated 0- and m-nitraniline as well as p-nitraniline and obtained three isomeric mono-nitro-triphenylamines. Absolute proof is thus given that our three derivatives are, respectively, the ortho, the meta, and the para compounds.

Synthesis of tetra-(4-anilyl)-methane (TAM) Tetra-(4-anilyl)-methane was synthesized according to the literature[S1]. Typically, a mixture of triphenylmethylchloride (9.18 g, 33 mmol) and aniline (8.4 g, 89 mmol) was heated to 200 °C for 5 minutes and cooled to 90 °C. And then, 100 mL of (2 mol/L) HCl solution and 45 mL of methanol were added to the reaction system. The reaction was refluxed briefly. The gray solid was obtained and filtered. The solid was then dissolved in a mixture of 65 mL of ethanol and 10 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid. The mixture was cooled to -10 °C and 8 mL of isoamylnitrite was then added. The mixture was stirred for about 30 minutes, and 15 mL of 50% hypophosphorous acid was added at -10 °C and heated to reflux. A light green solid was filtered and washed with a solution of ethanol/dioxane (4:1, v:v) to get compound 1. To compound 1 (7.5 g, 23.4 mmol), 40 mL of fuming nitric was added dropwise at -10°C with vigorous stirring. To this mixture, 12 mL of acetic anhydride and 25 mL of acetic acid was slowly added and stirred for 15 minutes. After that, the mixture was diluted with 50 mL of acetic acid and filtered off.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1970 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. MOSES GOMBERG February 8,1866-February 12,1947 BY JOHN C. BAILAR, JR. OSES GOMBERG, one of the world's truly great organic M chemists, was born in Elizabetgrad, Russia, on February 8, 1866, and died in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on February 12, 1947—four days after his eighty-first birthday. Aside from the fact that his parents were George and Marie Resnikoff Gom- berg, and that he had a younger sister, Sonia, almost nothing is known of his family. In his mature life, he rarely, if ever, spoke of his boyhood, and even his closest friends did not know what sort of life he led before coming to America. It is known only that he attended the Nicolau Gymnasium in Elizabetgrad from 1878 to 1884. In the latter year, his father was accused of political conspiracy and, in order to avoid arrest and imprisonment, he fled from Russia to the United States, sacrificing all of his property in Russia. The son, although only eighteen years of age, was also under suspicion, and he either accompanied his father to America, or followed soon afterwards. There is no record of their flight from oppression, and we do not know whether they were allowed to depart peaceably and in comfort, or had to flee in secret.

    TETRAPHENYLMETKANE. 2009 The m-nitro-triphenylamie is lemon yellow similar to m-nitraniline ; both differ from the m-nitrodiphenylamine, which is brick red. It is very soluble in nitrobenzene, benzene, ether, and ethyl acetate; moderately soluble in alcohol, insoluble in water and acids. However, it is quite solu- ble in glacial acetic acid and in concentrated sulfuric acid. The latter solution at fist is colorless, but acquires a blue coloration in a few seconds. Pure o-nitro-diphenylamine (2 g.) was phenylated in the same manner as the corresponding m-derivative. Here also the reaction is quantita- tive, The crude product, 2.6 g., melted at 96'.

    TETRAPHENYLMETHANE. 773 heat. The ammeter gives the total current absorbed, and the voltmeter the electromotive force at the arc. With this simple arrangement, copper and brass are easily melted, as well as iron and steel. As to the adjustment of the carbons, it is only necessary to feed the upper one down a fraction of an inch every two or three minutes. Should rheostats not be at hand, a bank of thirty-two C. P. lamps arranged it1 multiple and joined in with the furnace, answer the purpose for smaller fusions, and for metals possessing lower melting-points. By using ten 32 C. P. lamps in parallel, a good arc may be maintained, sufficient for small reductions, etc. Should three of these '' flower-pot" fur- naces be placed in series, the principle of the large furnace will obviously be brought into play, if some means is devised for con- trolling the upper carbons simultaneously. ~ ON TETRAPHENYLMETHANE.'

Lotsch *bcd Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have entered the stage as a new generation of porous polymers which stand out by virtue of their crystallinity, diverse framework topologies and accessible pore systems. An important – but still underdeveloped – feature of COFs is their potentially superior stability in comparison to other porous materials. Achieving COFs which are simultaneously crystalline, stable, and functional is still challenging as reversible bond formation is one of the prime prerequisites for the crystallization of COFs. However, as the COF field matures new strategies have surfaced that bypass this crystallinity – stability dichotomy. Three major approaches for obtaining both stable and crystalline COFs have taken form in recent years: Tweaking the reaction conditions for reversible linkages, separating the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence.
