Synthesis and Study of the Anodic Behavior of 1,3,4,6-Tetraaryl-2λ 4 δ 2 -thieno[3,4-c]thiophenes

Two heterocyclic compounds based on the thieno[3,4-c]thiophene structure with four aryl substituents were prepared and their behavior in electrooxidation studied. These tetraarylthieno[3,4-c]thiophenes were synthesized in three steps starting from 1,3-dibenzoylmethane in the case of 1,3,4,6-tetraphenyl-2 u 4 i 2 -thieno[3,4-c]thiophene 1a and from 1,3-bis(4'-methoxyphenyl)propane-1,3-dione in the case of 1,3,4,6-tetrakis(4'-methoxyphenyl)-2 u 4 i 2 -thieno[3,4-c]thiophene 1b , a new compound. Both cyclic and hydrodynamic voltamperometric analyses indicate two reversible one-electron oxidation stages for compound 1b , while for compound 1a only the first stage is reversible. The preparative electrooxidation of the two compounds results in the opening of one thiophene ring giving rise to n -keto-thioketones.     

Cycloparaphenylene and their radicals anchored to a metal−organic framework

Cycloparaphenylene (CPP) shows modulated photophysical and electronic properties due to its strained structure and radially oriented π-electron system. Incorporation of CPP into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could transfer its extensive properties in solution to porous solids. Moreover, with the unique arrangement of the macrocycles and their interactions with the framework, emerging characteristics are anticipated. As an example of “robust dynamics”, we synthesized the first MOF structure (FDM-1001) with CPP precisely anchored to the ordered framework by employing a [8]CPP-containing linear dicarboxylate linker. Metric relationship between the dynamic macrocycles and the robust backbone creates ideal π-π interactions between them, which leads to an essentially directional arrangement of [8]CPP in the three-dimensional space. Furthermore, the MOF with [8]CPP could be successfully oxidized to generate an infinite array of radicals that show enhanced air stability compared to its molecular analogue.     

Metal valences in electron-doped (Sr,La)2FeTaO6 double perovskite: A Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy study

Substitution of divalent Sr by trivalent La is found to affect the valence states of both of the two B-site cations, Fe and Ta, in the double perovskite oxide (Sr_1−xLa_x)₂FeTaO₆. Moreover, it improves the degree of order of these cations. From ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra the average Fe valence was found to decrease with increasing La substitution level, x. However, the valence of Fe decreased less than expected if the valence of Ta was assumed to remain constant. Hence, we conclude that also the valence of Ta decreases.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Reaction of Chloroplatinum(II) Complexes with Alkyl Radicals

The reaction between certain platinum(II) complexes and alky radicals produces an unstable organoplatinum(III) intermediate, {Pt^III -R}. The kinetics of this step were evaluated by laser flash photolysis with ABTS² (2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) ion) and TMPD (tetramethylphenylenediamine) as kinetic probes. The rate constants for PtCl₄^2? are: k_Pt/10⁸ L mol^?1 s^?1 = 5.2, 2.8 and 0.27 for CH_3, C₂H₅, and CH₂Cl in aqueous solution at pH 1. Those with cis-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂ are somewhat smaller, and those for Pt(NH₃)₄²⁺ too small to measure will) this technique. The product analysis indicates that the decomposition of organoplatinum takes place by hydrolysis and (for R = C₂H₅ only) by β-elimination, The kinetic isotope effect on die β-elimination of DCH₂CH₂PtC₄,^2? is k_H/k_D = 1.2. The β-elimination step produces a Pt^III-hydride that releases hydrogen gas and forms {Pt_III-OH}. The short-lived Pt(III) intermediate may disproportionate or oxidize the Co^II complex that is produced in the radical-generating step.     

Thermodynamic determination of the cation distribution in NixMn1−γ−xFe2+γO4 ferrites

The cation distribution in the spinel ferrite system Ni_xMn_1−γ−xFe_2+γO₄ (x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and γ=0.137) has been calculated analytically in complete form as a function of thermodynamic parameters. A generalized theoretical framework based on the O’Neill-Navrotsky model and Newton methods was used to solve a multicomponent system for up to 10 cation species. The relationship between the cation distribution and composition is given. The results are shown to agree with the available experimental results.     

Synthesis, characterization and electrochemical properties of two new calix[4]arene derivatives bearing two ferrocene imine or ferrocene amine units at the upper rim

A novel calix[4]arene derivative with two ferrocenyl Schiff-base groups at the upper rim 3 has been synthesized from 5,17-diformyl-25,27-dipropoxy-26,28-dihydroxy calix[4]arene and 4-ferrocenylaniline via condensation reaction. Reduction of 3 with sodium borohydride led to calix[4]arene derivative 4 with two amino ferrocenyl groups at the upper rim. The ferrocenyl Schiff-base calix[4]arene and its corresponding reduced amine have been purified and characterized by elemental analysis,¹H NMR, FTIR, Mass and UV-vis spectral data. Electrochemical properties of compounds 3 and 4 have been investigated. Cyclic voltammograms of 3 and 4 show reversible redox couples of ferrocene/ferrocinium at E_1/2=0.401 V and 0.346 V, respectively. Electrochemical studies show these redox active compounds electrochemically recognize trivalent lanthanides La³⁺ and Ce³⁺ and divalent Pb²⁺ and Cu²⁺cations. With ferrocenyl Schiff-base calix[4]arene 3 an anodic shift as large as 130 mV is observed on addition of one equivalent of Ce³⁺ ion. Also extraction properties of compound 4 towards some metal cations have been described. It has been observed that compound 4 has a good selectivity for metal cations Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ against Ni²⁺ and Co²⁺.     

The effect of a cation radii on structural, magnetic and electrical properties of doped manganites La0.6−xPrxSr0.4MnO3

Structural, magnetic and transport properties of La_0.6−xPr_xSr_0.4MnO₃ with x=0.0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.18, 0.3, 0.42, 0.54 and 0.6 are studied. The system exhibits a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure for x?0.3. A rhombohedral-orthorhombic (Pnma) structure transition is detected in the doping range from x=0.42 to 0.6. The structure refinement by Rietveld analysis of the X-ray powder diffraction data shows that the average distance Mn-O increases in the rhombohedral phases and decreases in the orthorhombic phases. Results show that the Curie temperature decreases from 374 to 310 K when 〈r_A〉 varies from 1.254 to 1.231 Å. Electrical measurements show that all samples exhibit a metallic to semiconducting transition with increasing temperature. Meanwhile, the size of the resistivity ρ increases near T_C. This phenomenon is interpreted as a gradual bending of the Mn-O-Mn bond angle, with decreasing 〈r_A〉, which causes the narrowing of the electronic bandwidth and the effect of the A-site variance σ².

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Ion-Exchange Resins.II. Additivity of Counter Ion Effects

Abstract

The nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shins for the internal water protons of the cation exchanger Dowex 50W-X8 equilibrated with solutions containing the counter ions, H⁺ and Na⁺, are linearly proportional to the equivalent fraction composition of the mixed form resin. Better agreement between observed and calculated chemical shifts is obtained if the water contents of the various mixed form resins are taken into account.     

Diffusion of Sr and Zr in BaTiO3 single crystals

The diffusion of strontium and zirconium in single crystal BaTiO₃ was investigated in air at temperatures between 1000 °C and 1250 °C. Thin films of SrTiO₃, deposited by spin coating a precursor solution and thin films of zirconium, deposited onto the sample surfaces by sputtering, were used as diffusion sources. The diffusion profiles were measured by SIMS depth profiling on a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (ToF-SIMS). The diffusion coefficients of strontium and zirconium were given by D_Sr = 3.6 × 10^2.0±4.4 exp[−(543 ± 117) kJ mol⁻¹/(RT)] cm² s⁻¹ and D_Zr = 1.1 × 10^1.0±2.1 exp[−(489 ± 56) kJ mol⁻¹/(RT)] cm² s⁻¹. The results are discussed in terms of different diffusion mechanisms in the perovskite structure of BaTiO₃.     

Formyl Radical Generation from α-Chloro N-Methoxyphthalimides Enables Selective Aldehyde Synthesis

The aldehydes installation by radical formylation constitutes an attractive synthetic strategy. However, the generation of formyl radicals for organic synthesis applications remains unknown. Herein we report the first formyl radical generation from α-chloro N-methoxyphthalimides, which selectively synthesize aldehydes by alkene hydroformylation under mild photoredox conditions. The aldehydes can be installed on acrylates, acrylamides, vinyl sulfones, vinyl ketones, and complex steroids by radical hydroformylation in excellent chemoselectivity and regioselectivity. The concerted hydrochloride elimination for the formyl radical generation from α-chloro methoxy radicals is established by experimental and computational approaches.

Determination of magnesium,calcium, sodium,and potassium in blood plasma samples by capillary zone electrophoresis

A capillary zone electrophoretic assay has been developed and validated for analysis of magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium in blood plasma samples. Optimum results were obtained with 20 mmol L⁻¹ imidazole (pH 2.8) and 0.5 mmol L⁻¹ oxalic acid containing 5% methanol, capillary temperature 25°C, applied voltage 30 kV, hydrodynamic injection time 3 s, and a poly(vinyl alcohol)-coated capillary (i.d. 50 μm, total length 64.5 cm and effective length 56 cm). Indirect detection was performed at 214 nm. Cadmium was used as internal standard. The migration times of magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium were 4.25, 3.79, 3.96, and 2.79 min, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium in blood plasma samples. The results were compared with those from atomic absorption spectrophotometry and no statistically significant difference was found (P>0.05). This study was supported by the Turkish Republic, Prime Ministry State Planning Organization (Project Number: 98K121730)     

Crystal structures and dielectric properties of ordered double perovskites containing Mg and Ta

The ordered double perovskites ALaMgTaO₆ (A=Ba, Sr, Ca) and La₂Mg(Mg_1/3Ta_2/3)O₆ have been prepared and characterized. Synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction analyses show that all four compounds exhibit a rock-salt type ordering of the B-site cations (Mg²⁺/Ta⁵⁺) and a random distribution of A-site cations (A²⁺/La³⁺). The space group symmetries are determined to be for BaLaMgTaO₆, and P2₁/n for SrLaMgTaO₆, CaLaMgTaO₆, and La₂Mg(Mg_1/3Ta_2/3)O₆. Diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy shows these ordered perovskites have optical band gaps in the range of 4.6−4.8 eV. These values are roughly 1 eV wider than the ternary perovskite oxides of Ta⁵⁺ such as KTaO₃, due to narrowing of the conduction bandwidth which results from Mg²⁺/Ta⁵⁺ ordering. These compounds are insulators with dielectric permittivities of κ=18-23, dielectric losses of tan δ=0.004-0.007, and small temperature coefficients of capacitance <100 ppm/K over the temperature range 20-150 °C. BaLaMgTaO₆ is of particular interest because it possesses a near-zero temperature dependence of capacitance.     

The effect of disorder in Ba2YTaO6 on the tetragonal to cubic phase transition

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy have been used to study the structure of the complex perovskite Ba₂YTaO₆, at temperatures down to 100 K. Where the Ta and Y cations exhibit long-range rock-salt like ordering, Ba₂YTaO₆ displays a continuous phase transition from a high temperature cubic structure, described in space group Fm3?m, to a tetragonal, I4/m, structure near 260 K. This transition is inhibited if extensive disorder and/or vacancies are/is present in the sample.
