Synthesen und NMR‐Untersuchungen von Salzen mit den neuen Anionen [PtXn(CF3)6‐n]2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F,OH, Cl,CN) und die Kristallstrukturanalyse von K2[(CF3)2F2Pt(μ‐OH)2PtF2(CF3)2]·2H2O

Syntheses and NMR Spectroscopic Ivestigations of Salts containing the Novel Anions [PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n]^2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F, OH, Cl, CN) and Crystal Structure of K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O The first syntheses of trifluoromethyl‐complexes of platinum through fluorination of cyanoplatinates are reported. The fluorination of tetracyanoplatinates(II), K₂[Pt(CN)₄], and hexacyanoplatinates(IV), K₂[Pt(CN)₆], with ClF in anhydrous HF leads after working up of the products to K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O. The structure of the salt is determined by a X‐ray structure analysis, P2₁/c (Nr. 14), a = 11.391(2), b = 11.565(2), c = 13.391(3)Å, β = 90.32(3)°, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0326 (I > 2σ(I)). The reaction of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₄] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ generates mainly cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₂(CF₃)₄] and fac‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₃(CF₃)₃], but in contrast that of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₆] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ results cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtX₂(CF₃)₄], [Bu₄N]₂[PtX(CF₃)₅] (X = F, Cl) and [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CF₃)₆]. In the products [Bu₄N]₂[PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n] (X = F, Cl, n = 0—3) it is possibel to exchange the fluoro‐ligands into chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands by treatment with (CH₃)₃SiCl und (CH₃)₃SiCN at 50 °C. With continuing warming the trifluoromethyl‐ligands are exchanged by chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands, while as intermediates CF₂Cl and CF₂CN ligands are formed. The identity of the new trifluoromethyl‐platinates is proved by ¹⁹⁵Pt‐ and ¹⁹F‐NMR‐spectroscopy.

(CH₃)₄N⁺CF₃IF^? is formed either, through thermolysis of (CH₃)₄N⁺ CF₃IOCF₃^? under separation of COF₂, or reaction of CF₃I with (CH₃)₄N⁺ OCF₃^?. The thermolabile compounds have been characterized by i.r., Raman, ¹⁹F-, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.     

Darstellung und spektroskopische Charakterisierung der Persulfoniumsalze (CH3)(CF3)SF3+SbF6− und (CH3)(CF3)2SF2+SbF6− und Kristallstruktur von CF3SF2+SbF6−

Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of the Persulfonium Salts (CH₃)(CF₃)SF₃⁺SbF₆^? and (CH₃)(CF₃)₂SF₂⁺SbF₆^? and Crystal Structure of CF₃SF₂⁺SbF₆^? [1] . The preparation of the persulfonium salts (CH₃)(CF₃)SF₃⁺SbF₆^? and (CH₃)(CF₃)₂SF₂⁺SbF₆^? by methylation of the sulfuranes CF₃SF₃ and (CF₃)₂SF₂ with CH₃OSO⁺SbF₆^? in liquid SO₂ is reported.

[2+4] and [2+2] Cycloaddition Reactions of N‐Sulfinyl Carboxylic Acid Amides with (CF3)2BNMe2. Crystal Structure of cyclo‐(CF3)2B‐NMe2‐S(=O)‐N=C(p‐CH3C6H4)‐O

N‐sulfinylacylamides R‐C(=O)‐N=S=O react with (CF₃)₂BNMe₂ ( 1 ) to form, by [2+4] cycloaddition, six‐membered rings cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N=C(R)‐O for R = Me ( 2 ), t‐Bu ( 3 ), C₆H₅ ( 4 ), and p‐CH₃C₆H₄ ( 5 ) while N‐sulfinylcarbamic acid esters R‐O‐C(=O)‐N=S=O react with 1 to yield mixtures of six‐membered (cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N=C(OR)‐O) and four‐membered rings (cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N(C=O)OR) for R = Me ( 6 and 9 ), Et ( 7 and 10 ), and C₆H₅ ( 8 and 11 ). The structure of 5 has been determined by X‐ray diffraction.     

Fluoroborates by Cleavage of Trimethylamine‐bis(trifluoromethyl)boranes with NEt3 × 3 HF. Structures of C6F5(CF3)2B · NMe3, K[C6H5CH2(CF3)2BF], and K[C6H5(CF3)2BF]

Trimethylamine‐bis(trifluoromethyl)boranes R(CF₃)₂B · NMe₃ (R = cis/trans‐CF₃CF=CF ( 1/2 ), HC≡C ( 3 ), H₂C=CH ( 4 ), C₂H₅ ( 5 ), C₆H₅CH₂ ( 6 ), C₆F₅ ( 7 ), C₆H₅ ( 8 )) react with NEt₃ × 3 HF depending on the nature of R at 155–200 °C under replacement of the trimethylamine ligand to form the corresponding fluoro‐bis(trifluoromethyl)borates [R(CF₃)₂BF]^– ( 1 a/2 a – 8 a ). The structures of 7 , K[C₆H₅CH₂(CF₃)₂BF] ( K‐6 a ), and K[C₆H₅(CF₃)₂BF] ( K‐8 a ) have been investigated by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In 7 the CF₃ groups make short repulsive contacts with NMe₃ and C₆F₅ entities – the B–CF₃ bonds being unusually long. The B–F bond lengths of K‐6 a and K‐8 a (1.446(3) and 1.452(2) Å, respectively) are long for a fluoroborate.     

Difluoromethylation of Amines with Zn(CF3)Br · 2 CH3CN,Cd(CF3)2 · 2 CH3CN and the System Bi(CF3)3/AlCl3

The reactions of Zn(CF₃)Br · 2 CH₃CN, Cd(CF₃)₂ · 2 CH₃CN or Bi(CF₃)₃/AlCl₃ with tertiary amines lead to the formation of quaternary ammonium salts of the general formula [R₃NCF₂H]X. The reaction of 4‐N,N‐dimethylaminopyridine with Zn(CF₃)Br · 2 CH₃CN yields (N‐difluoromethyl)‐4‐N,N‐dimethylaminopyridinium bromide. Bi(CF₃)₃/AlCl₃ reacts with 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane to form a mixture of mono‐ and bis(difluoromethylammonium) salts.     

Synthesis,characterization, and catalytic application of Fe3O4‐Si‐[CH2]3‐N=CH‐aryl for the efficient synthesis of novel poly‐substituted pyridines

Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were functionalized by aminopropylsilane and reacted with aromatic aldehyde, and Fe₃O₄‐Si‐[CH₂]₃‐N=CH‐Aryl and Fe₃O₄‐Si‐(CH₂)₃‐NH‐CH₂‐Aryl MNPs were prepared as novel magnetic nanocatalysts. Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) were used to identify the MNPs. The catalytic activity of the MNPs was evaluated in the one‐pot synthesis of some novel poly‐substituted pyridine derivatives.     

Substituent effects on the disproportionation-combination rate constant ratios for gas-phase halocarbon radicals. Part III: Reactions of CF3 + CF3CH2 CHCF3 and CF3 CH2CHCF3 + CF3CH2 CHCF3

Disproportionation/combination rate constant ratios, k_d/k_c, for the reactive collision between CF₃CH₂CHX + CF₃ radicals and between CF₃CH₂CHX + CF₃CH₂CHX radicals have been measured for X = CF₃. The k_d/k_c = 0.066 ± 0.013 when H is transferred to the CF₃ radical and 0.125 ± 0.025 for H transfer to the CF₃CH₂CHCF₃ radical. Comparison of these results with previous work shows that X = CF₃ increases the k_c/k_c' s relative to X = Cl or H. The effect of the CF₃ substituent on the disproportionation rate is discussed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Substituent effects on the disproportionation—combination rate constant ratios for gas‐phase halocarbon radicals,Part 5: Reactions of CF3 + CF3CH2CHCH3 and CF3CH2CHCH3 + CF3CH2CHCH3

Rate constant ratios, k_d/k_c for the disproportionation/combination reaction have been measured as 0.07 ± 0.02 when an H is removed from the CH₂ position of the CF₃CH₂CHCH₃ radical and as 0.24 ± 0.03 when the H is removed from the CH₃ position in the reaction with the CF₃ radical. For the self‐reaction between two CF₃CH₂CHCH₃ radicals, k_d/k_c has been measured as 0.27 ± 0.03 when the H is removed from the CH₂ position and as 0.47 ± 0.04 when the H is removed from the CH₃ position. The branching fraction, corrected for the number of hydrogens at each site, is 0.70 favoring the methyl position when the acceptor radical is CF₃ and 0.54 when CF₃CH₂CHCH₃ is the acceptor radical. Branching fraction results show that the CF₃ substituent on the CF₃CH₂CHCH₃ radical hinders disproportionation when CF₃ is the acceptor radical. When the accepting radical is CF₃CH₂CHCH₃ the CF₃ substituent may slightly impede the disproportionation reaction, but the branching ratio is nearly statistical. The effect of substituents on the donor radical, CF₃CH₂CHX, will be discussed for the series X = H, CF₃, Cl, and CH₃ when the acceptor radical is CF₃. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Spektroskopische Charakterisierung und Kristallstruktur von Trifluormethylchloriod(III)‐trifluoracetat (CF3I(Cl)OCOCF3)

Spectroscopic Characterization and Crystal Structure of Trifluoromethyl Iodine(III) Chloride Trifluororacetate (CF₃I(Cl)OCOCF₃) The ternary iodine(III) compound CF₃I(Cl)OCOCF₃ is obtained by reaction between CF₃I(Cl)F and (CH₃)₃SiOCOCF₃ at –50 °C. The molecule was characterized by vibrational spectra, NMR‐spectra, and a crystal structure analysis. CF₃I(Cl)OCOCF₃ crystallizes monoclinic in the space group P2₁/c with a = 1102.7(1) pm, b = 785.6(1) pm, c = 989.7(1) pm, and β = 101.34(1)°.     

Strukturen von Bis(trifluormethyl)halogeno‐ und ‐thiocyanato‐mercuraten, [Hg(CF3)2X]— (X = Br,I, SCN), und ein Vergleich der Strukturparameter der CF3‐Gruppen

Structures of Bis(trifluoromethyl)halogeno and thiocyanato Mercurates, [Hg(CF₃)₂X]^— (X = Br, I, SCN), and a Comparison of the Structural Parameters of the CF₃ Groups [(18‐C‐6)K]₂[Hg(CF₃)₂SCN]₂ (1) and [P(CH₃)(C₆H₅)₃]₂[Hg(CF₃)₂X]₂ (X = Br (2) , I (3) ) are prepared and their crystal structures are determined. [(18‐C‐6)K]₂[Hg(CF₃)₂SCN]₂ (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with Z = 2, [P(CH₃)(C₆H₅)₃]₂[Hg(CF₃)₂Br]₂ (2) in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with Z = 2 and [P(CH₃)(C₆H₅)₃]₂[Hg(CF₃)₂I]₂ (3) in the triclinic space group P1¯ with Z = 1. In the solid state the three compounds form dimeric anions with planar Hg₂X₂ rings. The structural parameters of the Hg(CF₃)₂ units in the till now known bis(trifluoromethyl)halogeno mercurates are compared. In all compounds one nearly symmetric and one distorted CF₃ group exist. The largest differences of the C—F bond lengths is found for [(18‐C‐6)K][Hg(CF₃)₂I]. This can be regarded as the experimental evidence for the properties of trifluoromethyl mercury compounds to act as excellent difluorocarbene sources in the presence of alkali iodides.

Rate constant ratios, k_d/k_c, for the disproportionation/combination reaction at a temperature of 295 ± 2 K, have been measured as 0.034 ± 0.009 for the collision between CF₃CH₂CF₂ + CF₃ radicals and as 0.075 ± 0.019 for CF₃CH₂CF₂ + CF₃CH₂CF₂ radicals. The effect of the two fluorine substituents on the rate constant ratio is compared to previous k_d/k_cs with CF₃CH₂CH₂, CF₃CH₂CHCl, and CF₃CH₂CHCF₃ radicals. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Rate constants for the reactions of OH radicals with CH3OCF2CF3, CH3OCF2CF2CF3, and CH3OCF(CF3)2

The rate constants for the reactions of OH radicals with CH₃OCF₂CF₃, CH₃OCF₂CF₂CF₃, and CH₃OCF(CF₃)₂ have been measured over the temperature range 250–430 K. Kinetic measurements have been carried out using the flash photolysis, laser photolysis, and discharge flow methods combined respectively with the laser induced fluorescence technique. The influence of impurities in the samples was investigated by using gas‐chromatography. The following Arrhenius expressions were determined: k(CH₃OCF₂CF₃) = (1.90) × 10⁻¹² exp[−(1510 ± 120)/T], k(CH₃OCF₂CF₂CF₃) = (2.06) × 10⁻¹² exp[−(1540 ± 80)/T], and k(CH₃OCF(CF₃)₂) = (1.94) × 10⁻¹² exp[−(1450 ± 70)/T] cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

The Evolution Aspect in the Crystallization Process of [5,5′‐(HCF2CF2CH2OCH2)2‐2,2′‐bpy]MX2 (M = Pt,Pd; X = I,Br): Role of the Intramolecular CF2─H…X(─M) Hydrogen Bonds

The general species (2,2′‐bpy)MX₂ (M = Pd, Pt; X = Br, I) in a crystallization process results in an isomorphous convergence in P2₁/c. Yet, with polyfluorinated side chains, the general [5,5′‐(HCF₂CF₂CH₂OCH₂)₂‐2,2′‐bpy]MX₂ species proceeds to crystallize the isomorphous structures of 5 (M = Pt; X = I) and 6 (M = Pd; X = I) in P2₁/c only; structure 7 (M = Pt; X = Br) crystallizes in P2₁/c but is not isomorphous with 5 and 6 , and structure 8 (M = Pd; X = Br) forms differently in P–1. The causes making the system nonlinear are (1) the intramolecular CF₂─H^…X(─M) hydrogen bonds found in 5–7 but not in 8, and (2) in response to the transition from I to Br, bifurcated [C─H^…]₂ F ─C hydrogen bonds that are formed in 5 and 6 and bifurcated C─ H [^…F─C]₂ hydrogen bonds in 7 . Additionally, the intramolecular CF₂─H^…X(─M) hydrogen bonding from compounds 5–7 could be affirmed by the IR studies.     

Semi-Empirical and DFT Studies on Structures and Spectra for C78（CH2）2

Eighteen possible isomers of C78（CH2）2 weTe investigated by the INDO method. It was indicated that the most stable isomer was 42,43,62,63-C78（CH2）2, where the -CH2 groups were added to the 6/6 bonds located at the same hexagon passed by the longest axis of C78 （C2v）, to form cyclopropane structures. Based on the most stable four geometries of C78（CH2）2 optimized at B3LYP/3-21G level, the first absorptions in the electronic spectra calculated with the INDO/CIS method and the IR frequencies of the C-C bonds on the carbon cage computed using the AM1 method were blue-shifted compared with those of C78 （C2v） because of the bigger LUMO-HOMO energy gap and the less conjugated carbon cage after the addition. The chemical shifts of ^13C NMR for the carbon atoms on the added bonds calculated at B3LYP/3-21G level were moved upfield thanks to the conversion from sp^2-C to sp^3-C.     

Theoretical study on the reaction of (Z)‐CF3CHCHCF3 with OH radicals

The mechanism on the OH‐initiated atmospheric oxidation reaction of (Z)‐CF₃CH?CHCF₃ with and without O₂/NO has been investigated theoretically. The electronic structure information of the potential energy surface was obtained at the M06‐2X/aug‐cc‐pVDZ level, and the single‐point energies were refined by MCG3/3 method. The calculations show that the (Z)‐CF₃CH?CHCF₃ + OH reaction occurs via addition‐elimination mechanism, leading to products CF₃ and CF₃CH?CH(OH), rather than H‐abstraction mechanism at low temperature. Under atmospheric condition, the OH‐addition intermediate is likely to react rapidly with O₂/NO, and the likely products are CF₃C(O)H, CF₂(O), CF₃CH(OH)CH(O), FNO, and HO₂, as is proposed by experiment. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Darstellung und Kristallstruktur der Addukte [DB-18C6] · CH3CN · CH3CSOH und [DC-18C6](CH3CSOH)2 sowie der salzartigen Verbindungen [Cs(B-15C5)2]CH3CSS und [Cs(DB-18C6)]2S5(DMF)21)

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Adducts [DB-18C6] · CH₃CN · CH₃CSOH and [DC-18C6](CH₃CSOH)₂ as well as of the Salt-like Compounds [Cs(B-15C5)₂]CH₃CSS and [Cs(DB-18C6)]₂S₅(DMF)₂¹) The reaction products of crown ethers, cesium, and sulfur in aprotic solvents like acetonitrile and dimethylformamide strongly depend on the reaction conditions. Using CH₃CN as a solvent, sometimes neutral host-guest adducts crystallize only, e.g., [dibenzo-18C6] · CH₃CN · CH₃CSOH (monoclinic, S. G. P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 9.73(1) Å, b = 22.03(1) Å, c = 11.86(1) Å, β = 91.8(1)°) or [dicyclohexyl-18C6](CH₃CSOH)₂ (monoclinic, S. G. P2₁/n, Z = 2, a = 7.75(1) Å, b = 10.32(1) Å, c = 17.73(1) Å, β = 95.7(1)°). The monothioacetic acid, CH₃CSOH, must be regarded as the first product of the hydrolysis of CH₃CN. Furthermore, another product of this kind of hydrolysis, CH₃CSSH, is obtained too. Therefore, we also obtain the salt-like compound [Cs(benzo-15C5)₂]CH₃CSS (monoclinic, S. G. C2/c, Z = 4, a = 16.05(1) Å, b = 16.73(1) Å, c = 13.11(1) Å, β = 106.3(1)°). If the solvent DMF is used, the pentasulfide [Cs(dibenzo-18C6)]₂S₅(DMF)₂ crystallizes (monoclinic, S. G. P2₁/n, Z = 4, a = 14.79(1) Å, b = 14.24(1) Å, c = 25.74(1) Å, β = 92.7(1°. The S₅^2? anions show the cis-conformation.     

New CF3 Substituted Phosphorus‐Tellurium Heterocycles

The reaction of trifluormethyl dichlorophosphine (CF₃PCl₂) with sodium telluride Na₂Te or bis(trimethylsilyl) telluride (Me₃Si)₂Te results in the formation of four new phosphorus tellurium heterocycles ( 1–4 ) with the electron withdrawing CF₃ substituent bonded to phosphorus. The telluratriphosphetane (CF₃P)₃Te ( 1 ), telluratetraphospholane (CF₃P)₄Te ( 2 ), telluradiphosphirane (CF₃P)₂Te ( 3 ) and ditelluratriphospholane (CF₃P)₃Te₂ ( 4 ) are characterized by multinuclear (³¹P, ¹⁹F and ¹²⁵Te) NMR spectroscopy. A full analysis of the ¹⁹F NMR spectrum of telluratriphosphetane (CF₃P)₃Te is presented. The new heterocycles are remarkably stable in solution and eliminate only slowly tellurium to form cyclophosphines (CF₃P)_n (n = 3–5).     

Structure of tetra[β‐(1,2,4‐triazole‐l‐yl) propiophenone] dichloro nickel(II) solvate hexahydrate complex: [NiCl2(C2H2N3CH2CH2‐COPh)4]·6H2O

The mononuclear complex, [NiCl₂ (trzCH₂CH₂COPh)₄]·6H₂O (trz =1,2,4‐triazole), was synthesized and its structure was determined by single crystal X‐ray determination. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, with lattice parameters: a = 0.80391(2) nm, b = 1.08215(2) tun, c = 2.90133(2) nm, β = 94.792 (1)° and Z = 2. Each nickel atom is coordinated by four N atoms of triazole from four β‐(1,2,4‐triazole‐1‐yl)propiophenone ligands and two chloride anions in trans arrangement with octahedral coordination geometry. In addition to the coordinating nickel complex, there are six uncoordinated water molecules. The Ni‐Cl distance is 0.24865(8) nm and the Ni‐N distances are in the range of 0.2072(2) to 0.2099(2) nm, respectively. In the solid state, the title compound forms three dimensional network structure through hydrogen bonds. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds connect the [NiCl₂(C₂H₂N₃CH₂CH₂COPh)₄] and H₂O moieties. The deep green crystals were also examined by elemental analysis, FT‐IR and UV spectra, which are in agreement with the structural data.
