Stabilities and coordination modes of glycinephosphonic acid in copper(II) heteroligand complexes with ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine or N,N,N′,N′,N″-pentamethyldiethylene triamine in aqueous solution

Solution equilibrium studies on the Cu(II)-polyamine-(aminomethyl)phosphonic acid (glycinephosphonic acid) ternary systems (polyamine: ethylenediamine (en), diethylenetriamine (dien), N,N,N′,N′,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (Me₅dien)) have been performed by pH-potentiometry, UV–vis spectrophotometry and EPR methods.

Additionally, in the systems with dien the protonated [Cu(dien)(H–Gly(P))]⁺ species also exists in acid solution and in the system with en the [Cu(en)(Gly(P))H_-1]⁻ species is formed in the basic solution. Our spectroscopic results indicate the tetragonal geometry for the [Cu(en)(Gly(P))] species, the geometry slightly deviated from square pyramidal for the [Cu(dien)(Gly(P))] complex and strongly deviated from square pyramidal towards trigonal bipyramidal for the [Cu(Me₅dien)(Gly(P))] species. The coordination modes in these heteroligand complexes are discussed.

Studies on the radiolytic stability of N,N,N′,N′-tetra-2-ethylhexyl diglycolamide in n-dodecane solution containing different phase modifiers

The radiolytic stability of a branched diglycolamide extractant, namely N,N,N′,N′-tetra-2-ethylhexyl diglycolamide (T2EHDGA) dissolved in n-dodecane containing several phase modifiers, viz. N,N-dihexyloctanamide (DHOA), tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), 1-decanol and iso-decanol has been investigated. The distribution ratio of Am(III) decreased with increased radiation dose studied up to 1000 kGy. Nevertheless, all the composition of extractants showed satisfactory results up to 500 kGy, beyond which the extractants degraded drastically. The stripping behaviour of Am(III) with 0.2 M HNO₃ was found to be unaffected even with the ligand solution irradiated up to 1000 kGy. Extraction of fission product and structural elements was also investigated using the irradiated solvents and was found to be not significantly affected with increasing absorbed dose with the exception of Mo which showed sharp rise in the distribution coefficient values. Loading of Nd in the organic phase decreased with the irradiated solvent due to degradation of the carrier. The effect of the absorbed dose on physical parameters such as density, viscosity and interfacial tension of the solvents has also been investigated.

Converting dipyrrinones to lactim ethers to fluorescent N,N′-difluoroboryl derivatives

A high-yield straightforward conversion of lactams to lactim ethers is shown by the conversion of (10H)-dipyrrin-1-ones to (11H)-dipyrrin-1-ol methyl and ethyl ethers in 90% yield from heating in neat trimethyl or triethyl phosphite at 160°C. Unlike the parent dipyrrinones, which form intermolecularly hydrogen-bonded dimers in CHCl₃, their lactim ethers are shown to be monomeric by vapor pressure osmometry. The latter react with boron trifluoride etherate to N,N′-bridged BF₂ derivatives that exhibit strong fluorescence (φ_F 0.6–0.8) near 535 nm. X-Ray crystal structures were obtained of the lactim ethyl ether of kryptopyrromethenone and the BF₂ derivative of the lactim ethyl ether 2,3-diethyl-7,8-dimethyl-(10H)-dipyrrin-1-one.

All FDCD spectra were completely free from the polarization artifacts.     

Measurements of the Molar Heat Capacities and Excess Molar Heat Capacities for Water + Organic Solvents Mixtures at 288.15 K to 303.15 K and Atmospheric Pressure

Experimental molar heat capacity data (Cp _m) and excess molar heat capacity data (Cp^E_m\mathit{Cp}^{\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{m}}) of binary mixtures containing water + (formamide or N,N-dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide or N,N-dimethylacetamide or 1,4-dioxane) at several compositions, in the temperature range 288.15 K to 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure, have been determined using a modified 1455 PAAR solution calorimeter. The excess heat capacities are positive for aqueous solutions containing 1,4-dioxane, N,N-dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide, negative for solutions containing water + formamide and show a sigmoid behavior for mixtures containing water + N,N-dimethylacetamide, over the whole composition range. The experimental excess molar heat capacities are discussed in terms of the influence of temperature and of the organic solvent type present in the binary aqueous mixtures, as well as in terms of the existing molecular interactions and the organic solvent’s molecular size and structure.

Surface active and aggregation behavior of methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids of type [Cnmim] [X], n?=?4, 6, 8 and [X]?=?Cl?, Br?, and I? in water

The surface active and aggregation behavior of ionic liquids of type [C _n mim][X] (1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium (mim) halides), where n = 4, 6, 8 and [X] = Cl⁻, Br⁻ and I⁻ was investigated by using three techniques: surface tension, ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). A series of parameters including critical aggregation concentrations (CAC), surface active parameters and thermodynamic parameters of aggregation were calculated. The ¹H NMR chemical shifts and SANS measurements reveal no evidence of aggregates for the short-chain 1-butylmim halides in water and however small oblate ellipsoidal shaped aggregates are formed by ionic liquids with 1-hexyl and 1-octyl chains. Analysis of SANS data analysis at higher concentrations of [C₈mim][Cl] showed that the microstructures consist of cubically packed molecules probably through π–π and hydrogen bond interactions.     

2-nitroguanidine derivatives: VIII. Synthesis and cyclizations of N′1,N′2-bis(N2- nitrocarbamimidoyl) dicarboxylic acid dihydrazides and ethyl [2-(N2-nitrocarbamimidoyl)-hydrazino](oxo)acetate

New methods of synthesis of N¹,N²-bis(N ²-nitrocarbamimidoyl) dicarboxylic acid dihydrazides and ethyl [2-(N ²-nitrocarbamimidoyl)hydrazino](oxo)acetate from 1-methyl-2-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine and dicarboxylic acid hydrazides were proposed. Cyclization of N¹, N²-bis(N ²-nitrocarbamimidoyl) dihydrazides derived from malonic and succinic acids afforded the corresponding bis(3-nitroamino-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-alkanes, while N¹,N ²-bis(N ²-nitrocarbamimidoyl)oxalohydrazide gave rise to previously unknown 5,5-bi-(3-nitroamino-1,2,4-triazole) salts. Heating of ethyl [2-(N ²-nitrocarbamimidoyl)hydrazino](oxo)acetate in water in the presence of alkali metal hydroxides or carbonates resulted in intramolecular ring closure with formation of 5(3)-nitroamino-1,2,4-triazole-3(5)-carboxylic acid or ethyl 5(3)-nitroamino-1,2,4-triazole-3(5)-carboxylate, respectively. Depending on the conditions, ethyl [2-(N ²-nitrocarbamimidoyl)hydrazino](oxo)-acetate reacted with nitrogen-containing nucleophiles (ammonia, hydrazine hydrate, aniline, and phenylhydrazine) to give linear of cyclic products.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 12, 2004, pp. 1787–1793.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Metelkina, Novikova.For communication VII, see [1].

The enthalpies of solution of ethylacetate (EtOAc) in water, octane and 1-octanol (OctOH) were measured at 298, 308 and 318 K using a precise isoperibol calorimeter. The standard enthalpies and heat capacities of these non-electrolyte solution were computed and compared with the previously obtained ??_sol H ^° and $\Delta C_{p}^{\circ}$ values in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Partial molal heat capacities of EtOAc in water and in organic solvents were calculated and compared with the available literature values.     

Synthesis and characterization of palladium(II) complexes of thioureas. X-ray structures of [Pd( N , N ′-dimethylthiourea)4]Cl2?·?2H2O and [Pd(tetramethylthiourea)4]Cl2

Palladium(II) complexes of thiones having the general formula [Pd(L)₄]Cl₂, where L = thiourea (Tu), methylthiourea (Metu), N,N′-dimethylthiourea (Dmtu), and tetramethylthiourea (Tmtu) were prepared by reacting K₂[PdCl₄] with the corresponding thiones. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and two of these, [Pd(Dmtu)₄]Cl₂ · 2H₂O (1) and [Pd(Tmtu)₄]Cl₂ (2), by X-ray crystallography. An upfield shift in the >C=S resonance of thiones in ¹³C NMR and downfield shift in N–H resonance in ¹H NMR are consistent in showing sulfur coordination with palladium(II). The crystal structures of the complexes show a square-planar coordination environment around the Pd(II) ions with the average cis and trans S–Pd–S bond angles of 89.64° and 173.48°, respectively.

Limiting Partial Molar Excess Heat Capacities and Volumes of Selected Organic Compounds in Water at 25°C

Well-known Picker flow microcalorimeters for the differential measurements of volumetric heat capacities have been employed in conjunction with vibrating tube densimeters to determine the molar heat capacity, volume, and the apparent properties in dilute aqueous solutions for 17 organic solutes of moderate hydrophobicity. The dependence on concentration of the apparent properties allowed the limiting partial molar quantities at infinite dilution to be extrapolated and the limiting partial molar excess quantities to be evaluated. Comparison with available literature data shows good agreement. The application of group contribution rules to the limiting partial properties has been tested using the original method and parameters proposed by Cabani et al. The predicted values of the partial molar volumes are in fair agreement with the present data except for some less common solutes. With partial molar heat capacities, the agreement is less satisfactory. To improve the performance of the method, missing parameters for some types of monofunctional and bifunctional molecules have been evaluated.

The Partial Molar Heat Capacities and Expansions of Inosine, 2′-Deoxyinosine and 2′-Deoxyguanosine in Aqueous Solution at 298.15 K

Solution densities over the temperature range 288.15 to 313.15 K have been measured for aqueous solutions of the nucleosides inosine, 2′-deoxyinosine, and 2′-deoxyguanosine, from which the partial molar volumes of the solutes at infinite dilution, V ₂^o, were obtained. The partial molar expansions for the nucleosides at infinite dilution and 298.15 K, E ₂^o {E ₂^o=(∂ V ₂^o/∂ T) _p }, were derived from the V ₂^o results. The V ₂^o values at 298.15 K for the two sugars D-ribose and 2-deoxyribose also have been determined. The partial molar heat capacities at infinite dilution for all the solutes, C _p,2^o, have been determined at 298.15 K. These V ₂^o,E ₂^o, and C _p,2^o results are critically compared with all of the results available from the literature, and the use of group additivity to evaluate these solution thermodynamic properties for the sparingly soluble nucleoside guanosine is explored.
