Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cp_2Ln(OC(SEt)NPh )]_2

1 INTRODUCTION The insertion of unsaturated molecules into the lanthanide-ligand bond has attracted considerable attention, because it is a fundamental step for many metal-promoted transformations, in which some va- luable new methods for the formation of carbon- carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds can be deve- loped and some complexes with novel structures or peculiar characters can be obtained[1~4]. Notably, in contrast to the wide reaction chemistry of organo- lanthanide alkyl (aryl), am…     

Theoretical Studies on the Cu-Cu Interaction and Stability of [Cu_a(Ph_2Ppy)_b(CH_3CN)_c]~(a+) (a=1～2,b=1～3,c=0～2)

To study the Cu-Cu interaction and stability of the title complexes,the structures of complexes [Cu(Ph2Ppy)(CH3CN)]+ 1,[Cu(Ph2Ppy)]+ 2,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2(CH3CN)2]2+ 3,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2(CH3CN)]2+ 4,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2]2+ 5 and [Cu2(Ph2Ppy)3(CH3CN)]2+ 6 were calculated by density functional theory PBE0 method,and the following conclusions can be drawn:(1) There is no orbital overlapping between two Cu atoms,indicating no Cu-Cu orbital interaction exists in complexes 3～6.Due to a breakdown of the closed shell configuration of Cu atoms,the weak Cu-Cu interactions result from the 3dCu → 4sCu' charge-transfer in 4～6.The Cu-Cu interaction strength follows 5 6 4,implying that there are stronger Cu-Cu interactions in the complexes with fewer CH3CN or more Ph2Ppy ligands.(2) The calculated interaction energies suggest that the coordination of Cu to Ph2Ppy is stronger than that to CH3CN.In 3～6,there are weaker interactions between Cu and CH3CN or Ph2Ppy in the complexes with more CH3CN or Ph2Ppy ligands.(3) The P-Cu and N-Cu interactions are much stronger than the Cu-Cu interaction,so we mainly attribute the stabilities of the binuclear complexes to the eight-membered rings Cu2P2N2C2.     

Theoretical Investigations on the Structures and Properties of the Side-on Complexes B_2(N_2)_2 and Monocyclic B_n(N_2)_n~m (n=3～6,m=-1～+2)

The structures and energies of the side-on complexes B2(N2)2 and monocyclic Bn(N2)nm (n = 3～6,m = -1～+2) between N2 (1∑+g) and B (2P) have been investigated by the DFT-B3LYP and MP2 methods at the 6-311+G(2d) and aug-cc-pVTZ levels. The analyses of NICS (Nucleus Independent Chemical Shifts),NBO (nature bond orbital),AIM (atoms in molecules) and frontal orbitals have been used to reveal the origin of coordination bond between the π-electron donor N2 group and B atom,accompanied by the comparison with the end-on complexes. The results have indicated that the side-on coordination complexes can be formed due to the relative strong fluidity of the π-electrons,and the nature of the coordination bond has been exposed to be that the N2 group offers 1πu electron to the 2p orbital of boron. The coordinate energies of the side-on complexes are less than those of the end-on complexes. Furthermore,the aromaticity of side-on coordination complex is weaker than that of the corresponding end-on coordination complex.

Mono-and Binuclear Cobalt(Ⅱ) Complexes Supported by Quinoline-2-imidate Ligands:Synthesis,Characterization,and 1,3-Butadiene Polymerization

A series of mono-and binuclear Co(II) complexes(Co1–Co7) supported by quinoline-2-imidate ligands were synthesized and thoroughly characterized.Measured by single crystal X-ray crystallography,complexes Co1 and Co3 adopted distorted tetrahedral structures around the cobalt center.Upon activation by ethylaluminium sesquichloride(EASC),these cobalt complexes exhibited high catalytic activity and cis-1,4-selectivity towards 1,3-butadiene polymerization.The effects of ligand environment,polymerization temperature,and cocatalyst types on the polymerization were investigated in detail.Interestingly,the binuclear Co(II) complexes exhibited high thermal stability,and the polymer yields were up to 97.2% even at a high temperature of 70 °C.     

An MP2 study on pre-reactive complexes (CH_2)_2O … XY (X,Y = H,F,Cl,Br,I)

The structures, energies, atomic chaiges and IR spectra of complexes (CH2)2O…XY (X, Y = H, F, Cl, Br, and I) have been examined by means of ab initio molecular orbital theory at the second-order level of Moller-Plesset perturbation correction. It is found that the hydrogen bond O…H-X is non-linear. The attraction between X and the H atoms in oxirane ring causes O…H-X bond bending. The hydrogen bond slighdy weakens the bond strength of C-O, and leads the bending and stretching mode of IR to shift to the red. The calculation results show that there is no evidence of a significant extent of proton transfer to give (CH2)2OH …X- in the isolated complexes.     

Ca(Ⅱ)-NTP-HRB混配物的稳定性和配体堆积作用研究

The stability constants of the ternary mixed-ligand complexes of Ca(NTP)(HRB) n-(n=2 or 3) have been determined by potentiometric pH titration in aqueous solution (I=0.1mol/L,KNO3,25℃),Where NTP refers to adenosine 5′-triphorphat e (ATP) and uridine 5′-triphoophate (UTP);HRB,1,10-phenanthroline (Phen),2,2 ′-bipyridyl (Bpy),and L-tryptophan (Trp).The stability difference between the ternany complexes and the binary complexes has been compared and discussed.The increased stability in ternany mixed-ligand complexes was attributed to the coo perative effect of πA-πB and the intramolcular ligand-ligand aromatic st acking interaction.The extent of the stacking interaction in the ternary calcium compl exes was calculated,which is in accordance with the size of the aromatic rings f orming the stacks.

Synthesis, characterization, antitumor activity of nickel(Ⅱ) and cobalt (Ⅱ) complexes of 2,2''''-diamino-4,4''''-bithiazole and their interaction with dGMP

New complexes,of bis(2,2'-diamino-4,4'-bithiazole)sulfate nickel(Ⅱ) and bis(2,2'-diami-no-4,4'-bithiazole)sulfate cobalt(Ⅱ),have been prepared.The complexes were characterized by infrared and UV-Vis spectroscopy,1H NMR,elemental analyses and molar conductivity.The effect of these complexes on the DNA synthesis of sarcoma 180 cells has been studied by the technique of isotopic liquid scintillation.The results indicated that complexes show ability to inhibit DNA synthesis of the tumor cells.In order to provide a molecular basis for understanding the biological effects,the probe,[trana-en2Os(η2-H2)](CF3SO3)2 (en,ethylenediamine) as a monitor was first used to explore interaction of the complexes with 2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-monophosphate (dGMP).     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Sm(OAr)+2(THF)+3·THF and Sm(OAr)_2(DME)_2 (Ar =C_6H_2-tert-Bu_3-2,4,6)

1 INTRODUCTION The chemistry of divalent lanthanocenes has de- veloped rapidly. Attempts to extend the chemistry beyond the traditional realm of the lanthanocenes have led to the syntheses and structural characteri- zations of a number of lanthanide (II) complexes bearing various ligand systems. Aryloxide ligands have been attractive for their strong bonds with lan- thanide atoms and readily steric modification by the choice of substituents.

Improvement on stability of square planar rhodium (Ⅰ) complexes for carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid

A series of square planar cis-dicarbonyl polymer coordinated rhodium complexes with uncoordinated donors near the central rhodium atoms for carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid are reported. Data of IR, XPS and thermal analysis show that these complexes are very stable. The intramolecular substitution reaction is proposed for their high stability. These complexes show excellent catalytic activity, selectivity and less erosion to the equipment for the methanol carbonylation to acetic acid. The distillation process may be used instead of flash vaporization in the manufacture of acetic acid, which reduces the investment on the equipment.     

TERNARY Cu(Ⅱ)(ATP)AND HETEROAROMATIC N BASE COMPLEXES IN SOLUTION:STABILITY CONSTANTS AND ANTITUMOR MECHANISM EXPLORATION

The stability of the complexes of four pyridine-like ligandswith Cu(ATP)~(2-) was studied and by comparing the stability constants of theternary complexes[Cu(ATP)L]~(2-) with those of the binary complexes[CuL]~(2+),astacking interaction between the pyridine ring and the purine ring of ATP isindicated.It is possible to interpret the antitumor mechanism of[Pt(NH_3)_8(N-het)Cl]Cl in terms of this stacking interaction.     

Cyano-bridged Ln^3＋-Cr^3＋ Binuclear Complexes [Ln（L）x（H2O）y^- Cr（CN）6]·mL·nH2O （Ln=La-Nd,x=5, y=2, m=1 or 2, n=2 or 2.5; Ln-Sm-Dy,Er, x=4, y=3, m=0, n=1.5 or 2.0; L= 2-pyrrolidinone）： Structure,Magnetism and Spin Density Map

In order to shed light upon the nature and mechanism of 4f-3d magnetic exchange interactions, a series of binuclear complexes of lanthanide（3＋） and chromium（3＋） with the general formula [Ln（L）5（H2O）2Cr（CN）6]·mL· nH2O （Ln=La （1）, Ce （2）, Pr （3）, Nd （4）; x=5, y=2, m=1 or 2, n=2 or 2.5; L=2-pyrrolidinone） and [Ln（L）4（H2O）3Cr（CN）6] ·nH2O （Ln=Sm （5）, Eu （6）, Gd （7）, Tb （8）, Dy （9）, Er （10）; x=4, y=3, m=0, n= 1.5 or 2.0; L=2-pyrrolidinone） were prepared and the X-ray crystal structures of complexes 2, 6 and 7 were determined. All the compounds consist of a Ln-CN-Cr unit, in which Ln^3＋ in a square antiprism environment is bridged to an octahedral coordinated Cr^3＋ ion through a cyano group. The magnetic properties of the complexes 3 and 6-10 show an overall antiferromagnetic behavior. The fitting to the experimental magnetic susceptibilities of 7 give g= 1.98, J=0.40 cm^-1, zJ＇= -0.21 cm^-1 on the basis of a binuclear spin system （Scd=7/2, Scr=3/2）, revealing an intra-molecular Gd^3＋-Cr^3＋ ferromagnetic interaction and an inter-molecular antiferromagnetic interaction. For 7 the calculation of quantum chemical density functional theory （DFT）, combined with the broken symmetry approach, showed that the calculated spin coupling constant was 20.3 cm^-1, supporting the observation of weak ferromagnetic intra-molecular interaction in 7. The spin density distributions of 7 in both the high spin ground state and the broken symmetry state were obtained, and the spin coupling mechanism between Gd^3＋ and Cr^3＋ was discussed.     

配合物[Fe(CO)3(PPh2R)2(HgCl2)] (R=pym,fur, py,thi)的Fe-Hg相互作用及31P化学位移

In order to study the effects of R group on Fe-Hg interactions and 31P chemical shifts, the structures of mononuclear complexes Fe(CO)3(PPh2R)2 (R=pym: 1, fur: 2, py: 3, thi: 4; pym=pyrimidine, fur=furyl, py=pyridine, thi=thiazole) and binuclear complexes [Fe(CO)3(PPh2R)2(HgCl2)] (R=pym: 5, fur: 6, py: 7, thi: 8) were studied by using the density functional theory (DFT) PBE0 method. The 31P chemical shifts were calculated by PBE0-GIAO method. Nature bond orbital (NBO) analyseswere also performed to explain the nature of the Fe-Hg interactions. The conclusions can be drawn as follows: (1) The complexes with nitrogen donor atoms are more stable than those with O or S atoms. The more N atom there are, the higher is the stabilitity of the complex. (2) The Fe-Hg interactions play a dominant role in the stabilities of the complexes. In 5 or 6, there is a σ-bond between Fe and Hg atoms, However, in 7 and 8, the Fe-Hg interations act as σP-Fe→nHg and σC-Fe→nHg delocalization. (3) Through Fe邛Hg interactions, there is charge transfer from R groups towards the P, Fe, and Hg atoms, which increases the electron density on P nucleus in binuclear complexes. As a result, compared with their mononuclear complexes, the 31P chemical shifts in binuclear complexes show some reduction.     

Computational studies of σ-type weak interactions between NCO/NCS radicals and XY(X = H,Cl;Y = F,Cl,and Br)

The triatomic radicals NCO and NCS are of interest in atmospheric chemistry,and both the ends of these radicals can potentially serve as electron donors during the formation of σ-type hydrogen/halogen bonds with electron acceptors XY(X = H,Cl;Y = F,Cl,and Br).The geometries of the weakly bonded systems NCO/NCS···XY were determined at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of calculation.The results obtained indicate that the geometries in which the hydrogen/halogen atom is bonded at the N atom are more stable than those where it is bonded at the O/S atom,and that it is the molecular electrostatic potential(MEP)-not the electronegativity-that determines the stability of the hydrogen/halogen bond.For the same electron donor(N or O/S) in the triatomic radical and the same X atom in XY,the bond strength decreases in the order Y = F > Cl > Br.In the hydrogen/halogen bond formation process for all of the complexes studied in this work,transfer of spin electron density from the electron donor to the electron acceptor is negligible,but spin density rearranges within the triatomic radicals,being transferred to the terminal atom not interacting with XY.
