Benjamin Titus Civil War Diary, MSS.4131
No full textAbstract: Diary of Benjamin Titus, a member of the 8th Regiment, Alabama Volunteer Independent Scouts. Titus died on June 7, 1864, at Richmond, Virginia, at age 31. The diary (dated 1866) was probably copied after Titus' death by an unidentified person (probably his brother) from a written account Titus kept and describes the life of an infantry soldier - miles and miles of forced marches, rain and snow and impassible roads, and days of inaction interrupted by intense periods of pitched battles, skirmishes, advancing and falling back.Scope and Content Note: The collection contains the diary of Benjamin Titus, a member of the 8th Regiment, Alabama Volunteer Independent Scouts. Titus died on June 7, 1864, at Richmond, Virginia, at age 31. The diary (dated 1866) was probably copied after Titus' death by an unidentified person (probably his brother) from a written account Titus kept. It describes the life of an infantry soldier - miles and miles of forced marches, rain and snow and impassible roads, and days of inaction interrupted by intense periods of pitched battles, skirmishes, advancing and falling back. Most of the battles are not named as we know them today, but comparing the dates and places mentioned in the diary with Civil War battle timelines, he was probably involved in the Battles of Williamsburg (May 5, 1862), Fredericksburg (December 11-15, 1862), and Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863).The diary itself ends with a brief listing of the battles, a list of expenditures, and a list of letters written. After these lists there are about thirty blank pages followed by six pages of miscellaneous information about the Titus family. In the very front of the diary is a receipt (recipe) for "Nice Caster Oil". Beneath the recipe it says, "A receipt found in Brother Benjamin's diary."One of the most interesting items in the diary is a list of the children of Samuel and Lucy Titus. A search of Ancestry.com shows a Samuel and Lucy Titus, with the names of the children listed in the diary, living in Henrietta, New York, in the 1865 New York, State Census. The Find A Grave website shows a Benjamin Titus, born in 1833 and died on June 7, 1964, buried in Cottage Grove Cemetery, in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin.Biographical/Historical Note: Benjamin Titus was born in New York in 1833. The 1860 United States Census shows him living in Mobile, Alabama, working as a carpenter. During the Civil War he enlisted in the Eighth Regiment, Alabama Volunteer Independent Scouts. He died on June 7, 1864, at Richmond, Virginia, at age 31
Synthesis and coordination chemistry of hybrid polydentate and halide-substituted stibines and bismuthines
No full textHalostibines and halobismuthines EMenX3-n (E = Sb, Bi; X = Cl, Br; n = 1, 2) display both Lewis acidic and Lewis basic characteristics. A series of adducts with neutral N- and O-donor ligands, [EMeX2(L)] (L = 2,2’-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, tetramethylethylenediamine) and [SbMeX2(L)2] (L = Ph3PO, Me3PO) were isolated and characterised by X-ray crystallography, 1H (and where appropriate 31P{1H}) NMR spectroscopy and microanalysis. Each complex is monomeric, displaying a distorted square pyramidal geometry around E, with two basal cis halides and the Me group apical. Combination of EMe2X with neutral ligands results in rearrangement at E to yield [EMeX2(L)] or [SbMeX2(L)2] once again as the isolable products. Reaction of SbMenBr3-n (n = 1, 2) with transition metal acceptors gives complexes in which the halostibines behave as Lewis bases. Examination of trends in the crystallographic and spectroscopic data of [M(CO)5(SbMenBr3-n)] (M = Cr, W; n = 1-3) from this work and the literature concluded that the halostibines have a significant ?-acceptor ability, which increases with increased halide substitution. Other transition metal complexes with L = SbMe2Br, [CpFe(CO)2(L)][BF4], [CpFe(CO)(L)2]Br (Cp = cyclopentadienyl) and [Mn(CO)6-n(L)n][CF3SO3] (n = 1, 3) were isolated and contain hypervalent, Sb···O, Sb···F or Sb···Br contacts between ions. Reaction of BiMe2Br with transition metal acceptors results in rearrangement at Bi; the only bismuthine complexes isolated contained the BiMe3 ligand.The hybrid distibine S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2 and its methiodide [S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe3)2][I]2 were synthesised and the X-ray structure of the latter determined. Systematic investigations into transition metal complexes of this and other hybrid distibine ligands were undertaken. These ligands coordinate in a bidentate bridging mode in the 1:2 complexes [{CpFe(CO)2}2(L)][BF4] (L = O{(CH2)2SbR2}2 (R = Me, Ph), MeN(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2, S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2) and [{M(CO)5}2(L)] (M = Cr, W; L = O{(CH2)2SbR2}2 (R = Me, Ph)), a bidentate chelating mode in [M(CO)4(L)] (M = Cr, W; L = O{(CH2)2SbMe2}2, MeN(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2) or a tridentate mode in [M(CO)3(S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2)] (M = Cr, Mo) and [Mn(CO)3(L)] [CF3SO3] (L = MeN(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2, S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2). In the latter examples the central hetero-atom of the ligand is coordinated to the transition metal centre. In those cases where it is not, hypervalent interactions between this hetero-atom and one or both coordinated Sb atoms are sometimes, but not always, observed. Comparisons have been drawn with the chemistry of the corresponding hybrid dibismuthine ligands. The hybrid tristibine ligand N(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)3 was synthesised and preliminary investigations of its coordination chemistry carried out. It acts as a tridentate ligand via the three Sb donors in [Mn(CO)3(L)][CF3SO3] and [Cu4Br4(L)2], with the ligand fixed in a propeller-like conformation. In the latter, a Cu2Br4 core with a short Cu···Cu distance is observed. [Cu(L)] [BF4] was isolated, in which tetradentate coordination of the ligand has been proposed.Transition metal complexes were characterised by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy and microanalysis, and where appropriate infrared and 55Mn or 63Cu NMR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. The majority of these complexes have also been structurally characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction
