Syntheses and Promising Properties of Dense Energetic 5,5′‐Dinitramino‐3,3′‐azo‐1,2,4‐oxadiazole and Its Salts

A planar energetic molecule with high density, 5,5′‐dinitramino‐3,3′‐azo‐1,2,4‐oxadiazole ( 4 ), was obtained by the nitration of 5,5′‐diamino‐3,3′‐azo‐1,2,4‐oxadiazole using 100 % nitric acid. In addition, selected nitrogen‐rich salts were prepared. Of them, the neutral compound 4 and its hydroxylammonium salt, 6 , were further confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Physicochemical and energetic properties including density, thermal stability, and sensitivity were investigated. The energetic performance from the calculated heats of formation and experimental densities indicates that many of them have potential applications as energetic materials.     

3,3′‐Bi(1,2,4‐oxadiazoles) Featuring the Fluorodinitromethyl and Trinitromethyl Groups

Here we report on the preparation of two hydrogen atom free 3,3′‐bi(1,2,4‐oxadiazole) derivatives. 5,5′‐Bis(fluorodinitromethyl)‐3,3′‐bi(1,2,4‐oxadiazole) was synthesised by fluorination of diammonium 5,5′‐bis(dinitromethanide)‐3,3′‐bi(1,2,4‐oxadiazole). For our previously reported analogue 5,5′‐bis(trinitromethyl)‐3,3′‐bi(1,2,4‐oxadiazole), a new synthetic route starting from new 3,3′‐bi(1,2,4‐oxadiazolyl)‐5,5′‐diacetic acid was developed. In this course also hitherto unknown 5,5′‐dimethyl‐3,3′‐bi(1,2,4‐oxadiazole) was isolated. The compounds were characterised by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR and Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis as well as mass spectrometry. X‐ray diffraction studies were performed and the crystal structures for the 5,5'‐dimethyl and 5,5'‐(fluorodinitromethyl) derivatives are reported. The energetic 5,5'‐(fluorodinitromethyl) and 5,5'‐(trinitromethyl) compounds do not contain any hydrogen atoms and show remarkable high densities. Furthermore, the thermal stabilities and sensitivities were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and standardised impact and friction tests. The heats of formation were calculated by the atomisation method based on CBS‐4M enthalpies. With these values and the room‐temperature X‐ray densities, several detonation and propulsion parameters, such as the detonation velocity and pressure as well as the specific impulse of mixtures with aluminium, were computed using the EXPLO5 code.     

Thermal Behavior and Decomposition Kinetics of the Complexes of CuX_2 (X=NO_3, Br, Cl and ClO_4) with 3,3''''-Dimethyl-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanone

Introduction N-1-Alkyl-substituted 1,2,4-triazole compounds, like some other heterocyclic derivatives containing nitrogen, have recently been the subjects of numerous studies due to their fungicidal action1 and plant growth regulation.2 Among them, the complexes with a sort of triazole as ligand are of considerable interest because of their broad-spectrum bioactivity, coordination and photo-chemical properties, as well as many potential applica-tions in various fields.3,4 In our previous paper…     

Proton controlled intramolecular communication in dinuclear ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes

The synthesis and characterization of two dinuclear ruthenium polypyridyl complexes based on the bridging ligands 5,5'-bis(pyridin-2' '-yl)-3,3'-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazole) and 5,5'-bis(pyrazin-2' '-yl)-3,3'-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazole) and of their mononuclear precursors are reported. The dinuclear compounds have been prepared by a Ni(0) catalyzed coupling of a mononuclear ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complex containing a brominated triazole moiety. Electrochemical and photophysical studies indicate that, in these dinuclear complexes, the protonation state of the bridge may be used to tune the intercomponent interaction between the two metal centers and that these species act as proton driven three-way molecular switches that can be read by electrochemical or luminescence techniques.     

On the amination of 1,2,4-triazines by potassium amide in liquid ammonia and by phenyl phosphorodiamidate. A 15n-study

The amination of 5-R- and 6-R-3-X-1,2,4-triazines (R = C₆H₅, t-C₄H₉, X = SCH₃, SO₂CH₃, N⁺ (CH₃)₃, Cl) by potassium amide in liquid ammonia has been studied. In all reactions the formation of the corresponding 3-amino-1,2,4-triazines takes place; in some reactions by-products were found: from 5-phenyl- and 5-t-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine a ring contracted product i.e. 5-phenyl and 5-t-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazole, from 6-phenyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine the dimer 3,3′-bis-(methylthio)-6,6′-bisphenyl-5,5′-bi-1,2,4-triazine and from 5-t-butyl-3-(trimethylammonio)-1,2,4-triazine chloride compound bis-(5-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)- amine. Furthermore the conversion of 5-phenyl- and 5-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-one into the corresponding 3-amino compound by treatment with phenyl phosphorodiamidate (PPDA) was studied. A ¹⁵N study of these aminations showed that nearly all compounds undergo substitution according to both S_N(AE) and S_N(ANRORC) processes. The contribution of each of the competitive mechanisms to the amination is strongly influenced by the character of the leaving group.

双吡唑桥联的大环状钯(Ⅱ)配合物的合成与结构(英)

A dipyrazol-bridged macrocyclic palladium(Ⅱ) complex [{Pd(en)}₄L₄](NO₃)₈ (en=ethylenediamine, L=3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyldipyrazol) 1 was prepared in water through a [4+4] macrocyclization of cis-(ethylenediamine)Pd(Ⅱ) nitrate and the neutral form of the dipyrazol ligand 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyldipyrazol. This cationic palladium macrocycle is highly distorted rather than a planar macrocycle and can hold eight nitrate anions around the macrocyclic framework through both hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions.

Synthesis of unsymmetrical annulated 2,2'-bipyridine analogues with attached cycloalkene and piperidine rings via sequential Diels-Alder Reaction of 5,5'-bi-1,2,4-triazines

Synthesis of bisfunctionalized unsymmetrical 2,2'-bipyridines 8 or their sulfonyl derivatives 12a,b are described. They were prepared via the Diels-Alder reaction of 1-methyl-4-pyrrolidin-1-yl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (6) with 3,3'-bis(methyl- sulfanyl)-5,5'-bi-1,2,4-triazine (1). The reaction leads to the single cycloaddition product 7 which undergoes Diels-Alder reaction with cyclic enamines 2a,b to give unsymmetrical 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives 8, consisting of the two different heterocyclic units: cycloalkeno[c]pyridine and 2,6-naphthyridine.     

Synthesis of Pd complexes combined with photosensitizing of a ruthenium(II) polypyridyl moiety through a series of substituted bipyrimidine bridges. Substituent effect of the bridging ligand on the photocatalytic dimerization of alpha-methylstyrene

Mononuclear ruthenium complexes and dinuclear Ru...Pd complexes having a series of 2,2'-bipyrimidine ligands, [(bpy)2Ru(Ln)]2+ [Ln = 2,2'-bipyrimidine (L1), 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyrimidine (L2), 5,5'-dibromo-2,2'-bipyrimidine (L3), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyrimidine (L4), and 4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl- 2,2'-bipyrimidine (L5)] and [(bpy)2Ru(Ln)PdL]m+ [Ln = L1-L3; PdL = PdMeCl (m = 2) and PdMe(solvent) (m = 3)], are prepared, and the obtained complexes are characterized by means of spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. Introduction of the substituents on the bipyrimidine ligands led to the substantial differences in their electrochemical and photophysical properties. Density functional theory calculations have been performed to understand the substituent effect on the ground-state molecular orbital energy level. Reactivity studies on the catalytic dimerization of alpha-methylstyrene revealed that the Pd complex having a Br-substituted bipyrimidine ligand were much more active than those of the corresponding Pd complexes having methyl-substituted or nonsubstituted bipyrimidine ligands.     

Theoretical Study of Adsorption Behavior of Vemurafenib Drug over BNNT(5,5-9) as a Factor of Drug Delivery: a DFT Study

In this research, a density functional theory(DFT) calculation was performed for investigation adsorption behavior of the anticancer drug Vemurafenib on BNNT(5,5-9) by using the M06-2X/6-31 G* level of theory in the solvent water. The electronic spectra of the Vemurafenib drug, BNNT(5,5-9) and complex BNNT(5,5-9)/Vemurafenib in solvent water were calculated by Time Dependent Density Functional Theory(TD-DFT) for the study of adsorption effect. The non-bonded interaction effects of the Vemurafenib drug with BNNT(5,5-9) on the electronic properties, natural charges and chemical shift tensors have been also detected. The results display the change in title parameters after process adsorption. According to the natural bond orbital(NBO) results, the molecule Vemurafenib and BNNT(5,5-9) play as both electron donor and acceptor at the complex BNNT(5,5-9)/Vemurafenib. On the other hand, the charge transfer occurs between the bonding, antibonding or nonbonding orbitals in two molecules drug and BNNT. As a consequence, BNNT(5,5-9) can be considered as a drug delivery system for the transportation of Vemurafenib as anticancer drug within the biological systems.

Synthesis and promising properties of a new family of high-density energetic salts of 5-nitro-3-trinitromethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole and 5,5'-bis(trinitromethyl)-3,3'-azo-1H-1,2,4-triazole

Salts of trinitromethyl-substituted triazoles, 5-nitro-3-trinitromethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole and 5,5'-bis(trinitromethyl)-3,3'-azo-1H-1,2,4-triazole (5), form a new class of highly dense energetic materials. Single-crystal X-ray structuring supports the formation of the cocrystal of 5 with 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole, which was found to be remarkably less impact-sensitive than the azo precursor. The compounds were fully characterized using IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. Based on heats of formation calculated with Gaussian 03 and combined with experimentally determined densities, detonation properties of the energetic materials obtained with the EXPLO5 program identify them as potentially explosive compounds. They exhibit high density, moderate to good thermal stability, acceptable oxygen balance, reasonable heat of formation, and excellent detonation properties, which in some cases are superior to those of 1,3,5,-trinitrotriazacyclohexane (RDX).     

Molecular Mechanics Study of the Inclusion Complexes of Some 1,2,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives of 3,3′-Bis (1,2,4-Oxadiazol-5(4H)-one) with β-Cyclodextrin

Molecular mechanics calculations were employed to study the inclusion of some 1,2,4-oxadiazol derivatives in β-cyclodextrin in vacuum and in the presence of water as a solvent using MM + force field. The driving forces for complexation in both environments are dominated by nonbonded van der Waals host–guest interactions with little electrostatic contribution. Among 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives investigated in this work, 3,3′-bis(1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-one) (H₂OD) forms the least stable 1:1 complex and the stability increases as the chain length increases.     

Neglected bidentate sp2 N-donor carrier ligands with triazine nitrogen lone pairs: platinum complexes retromodeling cisplatin guanine nucleobase adducts

Rapid rotation of guanine base derivatives about Pt-N7 bonds results in fluxional behavior of models of the key DNA intrastrand G-G cross-link leading to anticancer activity of Pt(II) drugs (G = deoxyguanosine). This behavior impedes the characterization of LPtG2 models (L = one bidentate or two cis-unidentate carrier ligands; G = guanine derivative not linked by a phosphodiester group). We have examined the formation of LPtG2 adducts with G = 5'- and 3'-GMP and L = sp(2) N-donor bidentate carrier ligands [5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (5,5'-Me2bipy), 3-(4'-methylpyridin-2'-yl)-5,6-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazine) (MepyMe2t), and bis-3,3'-(5,6-dialkyl-1,2,4-triazine) (R4dt)]. NMR spectroscopy provided conclusive evidence that these LPt(5'-GMP)2 complexes exist as interconverting mixtures of head-to-tail (HT) and head-to-head (HH) conformers. For a given G, the rates of G base rotation about the Pt-N7 bonds of LPtG2 models decrease in the order Me4dt > Et4dt > MepyMe2t > 5,5'-Me2bipy. This order reveals that the pyridyl ring C6 atom + H atom grouping is large enough to impede the rotation, but the equivalently placed triazine ring N atom + N lone pair grouping is sterically less impeding. For the first time, the two possible HH conformers (HHa and HHb) in the case of an unsymmetrical L have been identified in our study of (MepyMe2t)Pt(5'-GMP)2. Although O6-O6 clashes involving the two cis G bases favor the HT over the HH arrangement for most LPtG2-type complexes, the HH conformer of (R4dt)Pt(5'-GMP)2 adducts has a high abundance (approximately 50%). We attribute this high abundance to a reduction in O6-O6 steric clashes permitted by the overall low steric effects of R4dt ligands. Under the reaction conditions used, 3'-GMP forms a higher abundance of the LPt(GMP)2 adduct than does 5'-GMP, a result attributable to more favorable second-sphere communication in the LPt(3'-GMP)2 adduct than in the LPt(5'-GMP)2 adduct.     

Unsymmetrical surface modification of a heteropolyoxotungstate via in-situ generation of monomeric and dimeric copper(II) species

Unsymmetrical functionalization of a discrete alpha-{SiW12O40} Keggin with two heterometallic building blocks, a Cu(II) dimer and a Cu(II) monomer, results in the formation of [{Cu2(O2CMe)2(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipy)2}{Cu(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipy)2}SiW12O40] that displays interesting physical properties.     

Anisotropic united-atoms (AUA) potential for alcohols

An anisotropic united-atom (AUA4) intermolecular potential has been derived for the family of alkanols by first optimizing a set of charges to reproduce the electrostatic potential of the isolated molecules of methanol and ethanol and then by adjusting the parameters of the OH group to fit selected equilibrium properties. In particular, the proposed potential includes additional extra-atomic charges in order to improve the matching to the electrostatic field. Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulations were performed to determine the phase equilibria, while the critical region was explored by means of grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations combined with histogram reweighting techniques. In order to increase the transferability of the model, only the parameters of the Lennard-Jones OH group have been fitted, the parameters of the other AUA groups are taken from previous works. Nevertheless, a good level of agreement was obtained for all compounds considered in this work. In particular, excellent results were obtained for the Henry constants calculation of different gases in alkanols.     

Synthesis and Promising Properties of a New Family of High‐Nitrogen Compounds: Polyazido‐ and Polyamino‐Substituted N,N′‐Azo‐1,2,4‐triazoles

A new family of high‐nitrogen compounds, that is, polyazido‐ and polyamino‐substituted N,N′‐azo‐1,2,4‐triazoles, were synthesized in a safe and convenient manner and fully characterized. The structures of 3,3′,5,5′‐tetra(azido)‐4,4′‐azo‐1,2,4‐triazole ( 15 ) and 3,3′,5,5′‐tetra(amino)‐4,4′‐azo‐1,2,4‐triazole ( 23 ) were also confirmed by X‐ray diffraction. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed to determine their thermal stability. Their heats of formation and density, which were calculated by using Gaussian 03, were used to determine the detonation performances of the related compounds (EXPLO 5.05). The heats of formation of the polyazido compounds were also derived by using an additive method. Compound 15 has the highest heat of formation (6933 kJ kg^?1) reported so far for energetic compounds and a detonation performance that is comparable to that of octahydro‐1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazocine (HMX), while compound 23 has a decomposition temperature of up to 290 °C.     

Preparation and spectral properties of Zn(II) complexes with aryl-substituted dipyrrolylmethene and azadipyrrolylmethene

The homoleptic complexes of Zn(II) with 3,3′,5,5‘-tetraphenyl-2,2’-dipyrrolylmethene and 3,3′,5,5′-tetraphenyl-ms-aza-2,2′-dipyrrolylmethene [ZnL₂] have been prepared, and their spectral and luminescent properties have been studied. The complex with 3,3′,5,5′-tetraphenyl-2,2′-dipyrrolylmethene exhibited an intense fluorescence in the nonpolar medium, efficiently quenched in the polar solvents; thus, it can be used as a fluorescent sensor of the medium polarity.     

1,2,4-Triazines X: Dimerizations of 1,2,4-triazmes

5,5′-Bi-1,2,4-triazinyl compounds are obtained by the treatment of 5-unsubstiluted 1,2,4-triazines with either sodium methoxide or with aqueous potassium cyanide. 5,5′-Bi-1,2,4-triazinyl is also obtained by the reaction of 1,2,4-triazine with potassium cyanide. It is proposed that the sodium methoxide catalyzed dimerizations occur via a carbanionic intermediate; the aqueous potassium cyanide catalyzed reactions via a cyanide addition product and the potassium in liquid ammonia reaction via a free radical dimerization process.
