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. The obtained results suggest the formation of the heteroligand complexes with [Cu(A)(Gly(P))] stoichiometry in all studied systems. 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.     

Extraction of europium and americium into phenyltrifluoromethyl sulfone by using hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate in the presence of N,N′-diethyl-N,N′-diphenyl-2,6-dipicolinamide

Extraction of microamounts of europium and americium by a phenyltrifluoromethyl sulfone (FS 13) solution of hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate (H⁺B⁻) in the presence of N,N,N′,N′-tetraethyl-2,6-dipicolinamide (TEtDPA, L) has been investigated.

The values of extraction and stability constants of the cationic complex species in FS 13 saturated with water have been determined. It was found that the stability constants of the corresponding complexes \textEuL_n ³⁺ {\text{EuL}}_{n}^{ 3+ } and \textAmL_n ³⁺ {\text{AmL}}_{n}^{ 3+ }, where n = 2, 3 and L is TEtDPA, in the mentioned FS 13 medium are comparable.     

Stabilities and Coordination Modes of α-Alaninephosphonic Acid in Copper(II) Heteroligand Complexes with Ethylenediamine, Diethylenetriamine or N,N,N′,N′,N″-Pentamethyldiethylene Triamine in Aqueous Solution

Solution equilibrium studies on Cu²⁺–L₁–L₂ ternary systems have been performed by pH-potentiometry, UV–Vis spectrophotometry and EPR methods (L₁ corresponds to polyamines such as ethylenediamine (en), diethylenetriamine (dien), or N,N,N′,N′,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (Me₅dien) and L₂ represents 1-aminoethylphosphonic acid (α-alaninephosphonic acid)). The obtained results suggest the formation of heteroligand complexes with [Cu(L₁)(α-Ala(P))] stoichiometry in all studied systems. Additionally, in the system with en the [Cu(en)(α-Ala(P))H₋₁]⁻ species is formed in basic solution. Our spectroscopic results indicate tetragonal geometry for the [Cu(en)(α-Ala(P))] species, geometry slightly deviated from square pyramidal for the [Cu(dien)(α-Ala(P))] complex and strongly deviated from square pyramidal towards trigonal bipyramidal for the [Cu(Me₅dien)(α-Ala(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.

Metal complexes derived from amides; N,N′-bis(2-thiophenecarboxamido)-1,3-diamino propane (1) and N,N′-bis(2-furancarboxamido)-1,3-diaminopropane (2) were characterized by elemental analysis, spectral (NMR, FT-IR, LC-MS) methods, magnetic moment, molar conductance, and TGA/DTA studies. The complexes were dimeric and have the general formula [ML.Cl_m.(H₂O)_n]2Cl₂ where M=Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(III); m = 1, 2; n = 0, 1. The antimicrobial activities of the amides and their complexes were studied against the bacteria; Escherichia coli (ATCC 11230), Yersinia enterocolitica (ATCC 1501), Bacillus magaterium (RSKK 5117), Bacillus cereus (RSKK 863), Bacillus subtilis (RSKK 863) and yeast; Candida albicans (ATCC 10239).     

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.     

Physical and chemical properties of N ′, N ′-aliphatic acid dioctylhydrazides and their complexing with copper(II) ions

Some physical and chemical properties of aliphatic acid N′N′-dioctylhydrazides[RC(O)NHN(C₈H₁₇)₂] (DOHs) were studied in comparison to 2-ethylhexanoic acid N′N′-dialkylhydrazides, namely, solubility, acid-base properties, entrainment with an aqueous phase, and partition factors depending on the medium and the acyl radical length. The pH ranges of maximal extraction of copper(II) complexes by DOHs to kerosene and the effect of ammonium salts on copper(II) extraction were determined. The compositions of extracted complexes were determined (Cu(II): DOH = 1: 1 and 1: 2); the extraction constant K _extr was calculated for the CuL₂ complex with butyric acid N′N′-dioctylhydrazide.

Densities, Specific Heat Capacities, Apparent and Partial Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of Glycine in?Aqueous Solutions of Formamide, Acetamide, and?N,N-Dimethylacetamide at T=298.15?K and?Ambient Pressure

Apparent molar volumes (V _2,φ ) and heat capacities (C _p2,φ ) of glycine in known concentrations (1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0 mol⋅kg⁻¹) of aqueous formamide (FM), acetamide (AM), and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) solutions at T=298.15 K have been calculated from relative density and specific heat capacity measurements. These measurements were completed using a vibrating-tube flow densimeter and a Picker flow microcalorimeter, respectively. The concentration dependences of the apparent molar data have been used to calculate standard partial molar properties. The latter values have been combined with previously published standard partial molar volumes and heat capacities for glycine in water to calculate volumes and heat capacities associated with the transfer of glycine from water to the investigated aqueous amide solutions, D[`(V)]<sub>2,tr</sub><sup>o</sup>\Delta\overline{V}_{\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} and D[`(C)]_p2,tr^o\Delta\overline{C}_{p\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} respectively. Calculated values for D[`(V)]<sub>2,tr</sub><sup>o</sup>\Delta\overline{V}_{\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} and D[`(C)]_p2,tr^o\Delta\overline{C}_{p\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} are positive for all investigated concentrations of aqueous FM and AM solutions. However, values for D[`(C)]_p2,tr^o\Delta\overline{C}_{p\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} associated with aqueous DMA solutions are found to be negative. The reported transfer properties increase with increasing co-solute (amide) concentration. This observation is discussed in terms of solute + co-solute interactions. The transfer properties have also been used to estimate interaction coefficients.

Fluorescence detected circular dichroism of a red-shifted exciton-coupling chromophore N,N′-carbonyl-bridged dipyrrinone derivative using an ellipsoidal device

A fluorescent red-shifted exciton-coupling chromophore, N,N′-carbonyl-bridged dipyrrinone, was subjected to fluorescence-detected CD (FDCD) measurements as a primitive structure-elucidating probe with trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol template in several solvents under various instrumental conditions. With the help of a JASCO ellipsoidal mirror device FDCD465, a chloroform solution achieved the sensitivity enhancement by 50 times of the transmission CD and 5 times of the conventional FDCD. All FDCD spectra were completely free from the polarization artifacts.     

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 synthesis of azole derivatives from 3-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]propanehydrazide and its N′-phenylcarbamoyl derivatives, and their antibacterial activity

Abstract  

5-[2-[(4-Methylphenyl)amino]ethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-thione, 5-[2-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]ethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one, N-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-3-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]propanamide, and a series of N-[(phenylcarbamoyl)amino]-3-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]propanamides and 3-[(4-methylphenyl)(phenylcarbamoyl)amino]-N-[(phenylcarbamoyl)amino]propanamides, and their thio analogues were synthesized from 3-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]propanehydrazide. 1,3,4-Oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione was converted to 4-amino-2,4-dihydro-5-[2-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]ethyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione, whereas cyclization of N′-phenylcarbamoyl derivatives provided thiazole, oxadiazoles, and thiadiazole, as well as triazole derivatives. Two of the synthesized compounds exhibited good antibacterial activity against Rhizobium radiobacter.     

4,5-Dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-ones in an α-ureidoalkylation reaction of N-(carboxyalkyl)-, N-(hydroxyalkyl)-, and N-(aminoalkyl)ureas 3. α-Ureidoalkylation of N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]urea

α-Ureidoalkylation of N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]urea with 1,3-unsubstituted, 1,3-dialkyl-, and 1,3-dimethyl-4,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-ones(thiones) was systematically studied. Hitherto unknown N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]glycolurils and their hydrochlorides were synthesized. The yields of the target glycoluril hydrochlorides decreased on going from 1,3-H₂- to 1,3-dialkyl-4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-ones and increased with the introduction of phenyl groups at the positions 4 and 5 of the starting 4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-one. X-ray diffraction study showed that 2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]glycoluril crystallizes in the form of a conglomerate.     

Synthesis and reactions of thiosemicarbazides, triazoles, and Schiff bases as antihypertensive α-blocking agents

Methyl 2-(thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)acetate was synthesized and used as starting material. It was treated with hydrazine hydrate to afford the hydrazide, which was reacted with nitromethane and formaldehyde to give the saturated nitropyrimidine. The hydrazide was reacted with phenyl isothiocyanate to afford the thiosemicarbazide, which was cyclized with ethyl bromoacetate, sodium hydroxide, or sulfuric acid to afford N-phenylthiazolidinone, N-phenyltriazole, and thiadiazolyl derivatives. The methyl 2-(thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)acetate was coupled with diazonium salts of aniline, 4-chloroaniline, 4-bromoaniline, or 4-aminobenzenesulfonamide to afford the carbamoyl acetates, which were reacted with 2-aminobenzimidazole, 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorophthalic anhydride, and hydrazine hydrate to afford the corresponding thiazolylmalonamide, tetrachloroisoindolylimide, and tri-azole derivatives. Schiff bases and imides are newly synthesized candidates obtained via simple condensation of the hydrazide with aldehydes, 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic anhydride, or 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride. The pharmacological screening showed that many of these compounds have good antihypertensive α-blocking activity and low toxicity.     

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.

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.     

Theoretical study on the hydrolysis mechanism of N,N -dimethyl- N ′-(2′,3′-dideoxy-3′-thiacytidine)formamidine

The hydrolysis mechanisms of N,N-dimethyl-N′-(2′,3′-dideoxy-3′-thiacytidine)formamidine (FA-3TC) in the gas phase and in aqueous solution were studied by use of the density functional theory B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) method. Two possible reaction pathways in the title reaction were considered. In one pathway water attacks the C=N double bond first (path A) while in the other water attacks the C-N single bond first (path B). The calculated results indicate that the first step in both pathways is the rate-limiting process and path A is more favorable than path B in the gas phase. The effect of solvent water on the title reaction was assessed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) level of theory based on the polarizable continuum model (CPCM). In water the first mechanism (path A) is also favored.

Theoretical Study of Chemical Binding of Noble Gas Atom and Transition Metal Complexes: Ng–NiCO, Ng–NiN2, Ng–CoCO (Ng = He–Xe)

Ab initio multireference and coupled cluster methods (MR-SDCI(+Q), CASPT2, CCSD(T)) and density functional theory methods (B3LYP, MPWPW91) have been applied to examine geometrical structures and vibrational frequencies of noble gas (Ng) – transition metal compounds, Ng–NiCO, Ng–NiN₂, and Ng–CoCO (Ng = He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe). It is shown that the respective compounds can have a larger binding energy than a typical van der Waals interaction energy. The binding mechanism is explained by a partial electron transfer from a noble gas atom to the low-lying 4s and 3d vacant orbitals of the transition metal atom. Theoretical calculations show that the binding of noble gas atom results in a large shift of the bending frequency: 361.1cm^–1 (NiCO) to 403.5cm^–1 (Ar–NiCO); 308.5cm^–1 (NiN₂) to 354.8cm^–1 (Ar–NiN₂); 373.0cm^–1 (CoCO) to 422.6cm^–1 (Ar–CoCO). The corresponding experimental frequencies determined in solid argon are 409.1cm^–1 (NiCO), 357.0cm^–1 (NiN₂), and 424.9cm^–1 (CoCO), which are much closer to the corresponding frequency of Ar–NiCO, Ar–NiN₂, and Ar–CoCO, respectively.
