Rhodium-catalyzed dehydrocoupling of the sterically encumbered phosphine-borane adduct tBu(2)PH.BH(3): synthesis of the linear dimers tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(3) and tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(2)Cl

The dehydrocoupling of the sterically hindered phosphine-borane adduct tBu(2)PH.BH(3) above 140 degrees C is catalyzed by the rhodium complexes [Rh(1,5-cod)(2)][OTf] or Rh(6)(CO)(16) to give the four-membered chain tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(3) (1), which was isolated in 60% yield and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Thermolysis of 1 in the temperature range 175-180 degrees C led to partial decomposition and the formation of tBu(2)PH.BH(3). When the dehydrocoupling of tBu(2)PH.BH(3) was performed in the presence of [[Rh(mu-Cl)(1,5-cod)](2)] or RhCl(3) hydrate, the chlorinated compound tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(2)Cl (2) was formed which could not be obtained free of 1. The molecular structures of tBu(2)PH.BH(3), tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(3) (1), and tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(2)Cl (2) together with 1 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

(1-x)La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3/xCuO复合体系与La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)Mn_(1-x)Cu_xO_3电输运行为比较

用不同实验方法制备了名义组分为(1-x)La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3/xCuO(LCMO/CuO)和La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)Mn_(1-x)Cu_xO_3(LCMCO)两组样品,在宽的温度范围内研究了样品的电输运行为随Cu含量x的变化关系,发现这两组样品表现出不同的行为.对于LCMCO,随x的增加,金属-绝缘体转变温度T_p迅速降低,当x=5.5%,样品表现出绝缘体导电行为;而LCMO/CuO复合样品,当x≤6%时,随x增加,Tp逐渐下降,x≥6%时,T_p不再继续降低,所有样品几乎表现出相同的电输运行为.另外,这两组样品均表现出较好的低场磁电阻效应(LFMR),在0.3 T下样品的最大磁电阻分别达到了～76%和88%.基于样品结构以及制备过程的分析,我们认为LFMR效应的增强主要是因为颗粒边界上形成的Cu相关自旋无序层引起的.     

Synthesis, Structure and Properties of Tetrakis (thiourea) mercury (II) Tetrakis (thiocyanato-N) zinc (II)

Introduction In recent years, much attention has been paid to the research of novel, high-quality nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, especially those metalorganic complex crystals that can generate high efficient second-harmonic blue-violet light using GaAlAs laser diodes. In order to find this type of crystals, much work has been done in our laboratory on the complex crystals of MM'(SCN)4 and MM'(SCN)·nL, where M = Zn, Cd, Mn; M' = Cd, Hg and L = adduct1-6.

Spectroscopic properties of Er(3+)/Yb(3+) co-doped Bi(2)O(3)-B(2)O(3)-GeO(2) glasses

Er(3+)/Yb(3+) co-doped 60Bi(2)O(3)-(40 - x)B(2)O(3)-xGeO(2) (BBG; x=0, 5, 10, 15 mol%) glasses that are suitable for fiber lasers, amplifiers have been fabricated and characterized. The absorption spectra, emission spectra, and lifetime of the (4)I(13/2) level and quantum efficiency of Er(3+):(4)I(13/2) --> (4)I(15/2) transition were measured and calculated. With the substitution of GeO(2) for B(2)O(3), both Delta lambda(eff) and sigma(e) decrease from 75 to 71 nm and 9.88 to 8.12 x 10(-21) cm(2), respectively. The measured lifetime of the (4)I(13/2) level and quantum efficiency of Er(3+):(4)I(13/2) --> (4)I(15/2) transition increase from 1.18 to 1.5 ms and 36.2% to 43.2%, respectively. The emission spectra of Er(3+):(4)I(13/2) --> (4)I(15/2) transition was also analyzed using a peak-fit routine, and an equivalent four-level system was proposed to estimate the stark splitting for the (4)I(15/2) and (4)I(13/2) levels of Er(3+) in the BBG glasses. The results indicate that the (4)I(13/2) --> (4)I(15/2) emission of Er(3+) can be exhibit a considerable broadening due to a significant enhance the peak A, and D emission.     

Efficient and beta-Stereoselective Synthesis of 4(5)-(beta-D-Ribofuranosyl)- and 4(5)-(2-Deoxyribofuranosyl)imidazoles(1)

A synthetic route to 4(5)-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole (1), starting from 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-ribose (5), was developed via a Mitsunobu cyclization. Reaction of 5 with the lithium salt of bis-protected imidazole afforded the corresponding 5-ribosylimidazole 7RS. Hydrolysis of 7RS gave a 1:1 mixture of diol isomers 8R and 8S having an unsubstituted imidazole. Mitsunobu cyclization of the mixture 8RS using N,N,N',N'-tetramethylazodicarboxamide and Bu(3)P exclusively afforded benzylated beta-ribofuranosyl imidazole 9beta in 92% yield, accompanied by alpha-anomer 9alpha, in a ratio of 26.3:1. The configuration of 9beta was established by X-ray crystallography of ethoxycarbonyl derivative 10beta. Reductive debenzylation of 9beta over Pd/C was carried out, and the synthesis of 1 was attained from starting 5 in four steps and 87% overall yield. This synthetic methodology was extended to the synthesis of 4(5)-(2-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole (2). Mitsunobu cyclization of a 1:1 mixture of the corresponding diol isomers 14RS produced 15beta and 15alpha in a ratio of 5.4:1. The synthesis of 2 was attained in a 59% overall yield from the starting 3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-ribose (12). beta-Stereoselective glycosylation in the key step is discussed and explained by intramolecular hydrogen bonding between an NH in the imidazole and the oxygen functional group in the sugar moiety.     

二[1,2-二硫代(3,5-二硫杂-4-硫酮)戊烯]铜和锌络合物的四丁基胺盐的晶体结构

1,2-二硫代烯基(1)和1,2-二硫代苯基(Ⅱ)类型的金属络合物的研究,已有很多报道。但Ⅰ和Ⅱ与Zn的络合物的晶体结构至今未见报道。Gray等人发现在[N(C_4H_8)_4]_2[M′(MNT)_2]络合物的X射线粉末图中,Co,Pt,Ni络合物的衍射花样完全相同,但Zn络合物的确有明显的不同。Billig等人在[N(C_2H_5)_4]_2[M″(MNT)_2](M″=Cu,Ni,Zn)络合物的X射线粉末花样中也观察到同样的现象。他们认为Zn络合物为四面体的构型,但未测定其结构。近来,Lindqvist又推出一种1,2-二硫代(3,5-二硫杂-7-硫酮)戊烯基(Ⅲ)新的配位体。为了解Cu,Zn与Ⅲ形成络合物的特征,本文测定了标题络合物的晶体结构。     

Inclusion of Poly(ethylene glycol)s by Crystalline (R)-(1-Naphthyl)glycyl-(R)-phenylglycine

Abstract

Crystallization of (R)-(1-naphthyl)glycyl-(R)-phenyl-glycine [(R,R)-1] in the presence of oligo(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ethers 2(n) or poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEGs, 3(M_n )) afforded inclusion compounds. The ratio of (R,R)-1/the guest polymer (2 or 3) was proportional to the length of the polymer chain. The crystal structure of a hepta(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether-included compound was disclosed by X-ray crystallography which showed that (R,R)-1 molecules form a sheet and the guest molecule penetrates the crystal lattice of (R,R)-1 through a one-dimensional channel on the sheet. Powder X-ray analysis revealed that, regardless of the length of the guest polymer, the distance between the neighboring sheets remains unchanged (12.0–12.3 Å) in these inclusion crystals. By thermal analysis, it was shown that the decomposition points of these inclusion compounds became higher with the longer PEG included. The inclusion phenomenon enabled the fractionation of PEGs with various molecular weights, among which longer PEG was preferably included.     

Reaction of (R)-(-)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine(1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato)platinum( II) with guanosine

The reaction of a new antitumor platinum complex, (R)-(-)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine(1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato++ +)platinum(II) (1) with guanosine at room temperature in an aqueous solution was followed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at intervals. Both techniques showed that a new compound was formed by displacement of the 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate moiety of 1 with two guanosines, and its 1H-NMR spectrum and HPLC chromatogram were proved to be identical with those of [(R)-(-)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine]bis(N7-guanosine)platinum(II) (2), which was obtained upon successive treatment of (R)-(-)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidinedichloroplatinum(II) (3) with AgNO3 and 2 mol eq of guanosine in water. The binding sites of the platinum to the two guanosine moieties in 2 were confirmed by the pH dependence of the two G-H8 signals.     

Di(2-ethyl hexyl) butyramide and di(2-ethyl hexyl)isobutyramide as extractants for uranium(VI) and plutonium(IV)

The extraction of uranium(VI) and plutonium(IV) from nitric acid into n-dodecane was studied using two isomeric branched alkyl amides, di(2-ethyl hexyl) butyramide (DEHBA) and di(2-ethyl hexyl) isobutyramide (DEHIBA). The extraction ratios of Pu(IV) at relatively high acidities were higher than the corresponding values for U(VI) in the case of DEHBA. However, with DEHIBA the values for Pu(IV) were negligibly small. Pu(IV) was found to be extracted as trisolvate by DEHBA and as disolvate by DEHIBA. U(VI) was extracted by both the amides. From the study of the extraction reactions at different temperatures, it was shown that all the reactions in the present investigation were enthalpy favoured and entropy disfavoured. Separation of Pu(IV) from bulk of U(VI) was feasible. However, the purity of the separated plutonium was not satisfactory in batch extraction studies.     

Interaction of bis(ethylene)tin(bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) with DNA.

The fluorescence spectral characteristics and interaction of bis(ethylene)tin(bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) [Et2Sn(salen)] with DNA are described. The polarity of the solvent has a strong effect on the fluorescence characteristics of Et2Sn(salen). Et2Sn(salen) bound to DNA showed a marked decrease in the fluorescence intensity with a bathochromic shift of the excitation and emission peaks. A hypochromism in the UV absorption spectra was also observed. KI quenching and competitive binding to DNA between Et2Sn(salen) and ethidium bromide (EB) were studied in connection with other experimental observations to show that the interactive model between Et2Sn(salen) and DNA is an intercalative one. The pH and salt effect on the fluorescence properties was also investigated. The intrinsic binding constant was estimated to be 1.071 x 10(5) mol L(-1) in base pairs and the binding site number is 1.98, respectively. A linear relationship between F/F0 and the concentration of calf thymus DNA covers 5.1 x 10(-6) - 2.41 x 10(-4) mol L(-1), which can be utilized for determining traces of calf thymus DNA with a detection limit of 1.1 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) in base pairs.     

Oxidation chemistry of poly(ethylene glycol)-supported carbonylruthenium(II) and dioxoruthenium(VI) meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin

[Ru(II)(F(20)-tpp)(CO)] (1, F(20)-tpp=meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinato dianion) was covalently attached to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) through the reaction of 1 with PEG and sodium hydride in DMF. The water-soluble PEG-supported ruthenium porphyrin (PEG-1) is an efficient catalyst for 2,6-Cl(2)pyNO oxidation and PhI==NTs aziridination/amidation of hydrocarbons, and intramolecular amidation of sulfamate esters with PhI(OAc)(2). Oxidation of PEG-1 by m-CPBA in CH(2)Cl(2), dioxane, or water afforded a water-soluble PEG-supported dioxoruthenium(VI) porphyrin (PEG-2), which could react with hydrocarbons to give oxidation products in up to 80 % yield. The behavior of the two PEG-supported ruthenium porphyrin complexes in water was probed by NMR spectroscopy and dynamic light-scattering measurements. PEG-2 is remarkably stable to water. The second-order rate constants (k(2)) for the oxidation of styrene and ethylbenzene by PEG-2 in dioxane-water increase with water content, and the k(2) values at a water content of 70 % or 80 % are up to 188 times that obtained in ClCH(2)CH(2)Cl.     

The Synthesis and Structure of (1-(Diphenylphosphino)-1 - (Phenylthio)Ferrocene)Tricarbonyliron(O) (ptppf)Fe(CO)3

The complex (ptppf)Fe(CO)₃ has been prepared in high yield by the reaction of ptppf, l-(diphenyl-phosphino)-l'-(phenylthio)ferrocene, with (cis-cyclooctene)₂-Fe(CO)₃ in THF at ?60°C. The complex has been characterized by IR, ³¹P NMR, mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This compound is the first example of a ferrocenyl ligand having both sulfur and phosphorus donor atoms bound to a Fe(CO)₃ moiety. X-ray crystallography shows that the two cyclopentadienyl rings are approximately eclipsed, a rotation of 13° from exactly eclipsed conformation. The tricarbonyl iron center has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with sulfur occupying the equatorial site and phosphorus the axial site. Crystals of (ptppf)Fe(CO)₃ are monoclinic, with a = 11.645(2), b = 14.304(1), c = 17.075(2) Å,β = 109.23(3)°, Z = 4, and space group P 2₁/n. The structure was solved according to the heavy-atom method and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.037 for 2098 reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ(I).     

Bis(acetylacetonato)tricarbonyl tungsten(II): a convenient precursor to chiral bis(acac) tungsten(II) complexes

Two equivalents of acetylacetonate (acac) have been successfully introduced into a monomeric tungsten(II) coordination sphere. With the tetracarbonyltriiodotungsten(II) anion as a precursor, the formation of a tungsten(II) bis(acac) tricarbonyl complex, W(CO)3(acac)2, 1, has been accomplished. The addition of PMe3 or PMe2Ph to tricarbonyl complex 1 formed tungsten(II)bis(acac)dicarbonylphosphine complexes 2a and 2b, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the parent tricarbonyl complex, 1, and dicarbonyl trimethylphosphine complex 2a confirmed seven-coordinate geometries for both complexes. Variable-temperature 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy revealed fluxional behavior for these seven-coordinate molecules: rapid exchange of the three carbon monoxide ligands in 1 was observed, and movement of the phosphine ligand through a mirror plane in a C(S) intermediate species was observed for both 2a and 2b. Tricarbonyl complex 1 reacted readily with alkyne reagents to form bis(acac)monocarbonylmonoalkynetungsten(II) complexes 3a (PhC(triple bond)CH) and 3b (MeC(triple bond)CMe). Variable-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to probe rotation of the alkyne ligand in 3a and 3b. The introduction of two alkyne ligands was accomplished thermally using excess PhC(triple bond)CPh to form bis(alkyne) complex 4 which was characterized crystallographically, as well as by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The availability of W(CO)3(acac)2 as a source of the W(acac)2 d4 moiety lies at the heart of the chemistry reported here.     

Experimental visualization of lithium conduction pathways in garnet-type Li(7)La(3)Zr(2)O(12)

The evolution of the Li-ion displacements in the 3D interstitial pathways of the cubic garnet-type Li(7)La(3)Zr(2)O(12), cubic Li(7)La(3)Zr(2)O(12), was investigated with high-temperature neutron diffraction (HTND) from RT to 600 °C; the maximum-entropy method (MEM) was applied to estimate the Li nuclear-density distribution. Temperature-driven Li displacements were observed; the displacements indicate that the conduction pathways in the garnet framework are restricted to diffusion through the tetrahedral sites of the interstitial space.     

Synergistic extraction of uranium(VI) with mixtures of bis(hexylsulfinyl)ethane (BHxSE) and petroleum sulfoxides (PSO)

The synergistic extraction of uranium(VI) from aqueous nitric acid solution with mixtures of bis(hexylsulfinyl)ethane (BHxSE) and petroleum sulfoxides (PSO) in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane was studied. It has been found that the maximum synergistic extraction effect occurs when the molar ratio of PSO to BHxSE is close to 1. The composition of the complex of synergistic extraction was estimated as UO₂(NO₃)₂ ^.BHxSE^.PSO. The formation constant of the complex was equal to K_BP = 4.23±0.03. The effects of extractant, nitric acid, salting-out agent, and complex anion concentrations and temperature on the extraction equilibrium of uranium(VI) were also studied.     

Vanadium(III) and vanadium(V) amine tris(phenolate) complexes

The coordination chemistry of amine tris(phenolate) ligands around V(III) and V(V) is described for the first time. Three amine tris(phenolate) ligands were employed featuring different steric and electronic influence exerted by the phenolate substituents in the ortho and para positions being either t-Bu, Me, or Cl. V(III) complexes of all ligands (1-3) were readily obtained by reaction between the ligand precursors and VCl3(THF)3 in the presence of triethylamine. The complexes obtained were pentacoordinate, a THF ligand completing the coordination sphere of the metal, which was found to be of almost perfect TBP geometry, as revealed by crystallography. V(V) oxo complexes of all the ligands (4-6) were readily obtained by a reaction between the ligand precursors and VO(OPr)3. The oxo complexes of the alkyl-bearing ligands (4 and 5) could also be synthesized by the air oxidation of the corresponding V(III) complexes (1 and 2); however, the attempted air oxidation of the V(III) complex bound to the electron-poor ligand (3) did not yield the corresponding oxo complex 6. 1H NMR and crystallographic analysis of complexes 4 and 5 supported their TBP structures. Complex 6, on the other hand, was found to be composed of a TBP complex (6a) and an octahedral complex (6b) in equilibrium, the octahedral complex being more stable at lower temperatures. An X-ray structure of 6b revealed a mononuclear oxo complex, the sixth coordination site being occupied by an aqua ligand to which two THF molecules are H-bonded. Complexes 4-6 catalyze the epoxidation of olefins by t-BuOOH, albeit slowly. These complexes may thus be considered as structural and functional models of vanadium-dependent haloperoxidase enzymes.     

Systematic and in situ energy dispersive X-ray diffraction investigations on the formation of lanthanide phosphonatobutanesulfonates: Ln(O(3)P-C(4)H(8)-SO(3))(H(2)O) (Ln = La-Gd)

Using the flexible linker H(2)O(3)P-C(4)H(8)-SO(3)H (H(3)L) and rare earth ions Ln(3+) (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) we were able to synthesize the new isostructural inorganic organic hybrid compounds Ln(O(3)P-C(4)H(8)-SO(3))(H(2)O). High-throughput experiments were employed to study the influence of the molar ratios Ln:H(3)L and pH on the product formation. The crystal structure of the compounds Sm(O(3)P-C(4)H(8)-SO(3))(H(2)O) (1) and Pr(O(3)P-C(4)H(8)-SO(3))(H(2)O) (2) were determined by single crystal diffraction. The structures are built up from chains of edge-sharing LnO(8)-polyhedra that are connected by the phosphonate and sulfonate groups into layers. These layers are linked by the -(CH(2))(4)- group to form a three-dimensional framework. The synthesis of compound 1 was scaled up in a conventional oven as well as in a microwave reactor system. A modification of a microwave reactor system allowed its integration into the beamline F3 at HASYLAB, DESY, Hamburg. The crystallization was investigated in situ by means of energy dispersive X-ray diffraction using conventional as well as microwave heating methods applying temperatures varying from 110 to 150 °C. The formation of Sm(O(3)P-C(4)H(8)-SO(3))(H(2)O) takes place in two steps. In the first step a crystalline intermediate was observed, which transforms completely into compound 1. The method by Sharp and Hancock was used to determine the rate constants, reaction exponents, and the Arrhenius activation energy for both reaction steps. Comparing both heating methods, microwave heating leads to fully crystallized reaction product after shorter reaction times, but neither the temperature nor the heating method has significant influence on the induction time.     

Exploratory synthesis in molten salts: role of flux basicity in the stabilization of the complex thiogermanates Cs(4)Pb(4)Ge(5)S(16), K(2)PbGe(2)S(6), and K(4)Sn(3)Ge(3)S(14)

The influence of the Lewis basicity of alkali polysulfide fluxes (A(2)S(x)) (A = alkali) as a function of x on the respective reactivities of Pb and Sn with Ge was studied and found to be strong. Cs(4)Pb(4)Ge(5)S(16), K(2)PbGe(2)S(6), and K(4)Sn(3)Ge(3)S(14) could be prepared only under low basicity with S/A(2)S ratios of > or =11. These compounds display complex frameworks and are semiconductors. Cs(4)Pb(4)Ge(5)S(16) is luminescent with red emission.
