1,2-Bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N, N′, N′-tetra-acetic acid derivatives on complexation with lanthanoid metal ions. Correlation between size of trapping hole and metal ion

Complexation of lanthanoid metal ions with 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid and its two derivatives, in which the distance between the chelating functions is changed, has been studied by potentiometric pH titration. There are two complexation modes depending on the size of the metal ion. Structural flexibility of the chelator accounts for the change in the complexation mode.     

Polymerization of butadiene initiated by the 1:1 chelate of n-butyllithium and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine

Evidence is given for the species involved in the initiation and propagation steps in the polymerization of butadiene with n-butyl lithium: tetramethylethylene diamine (TMEDA) as being the monomeric butyl lithium and the solvated ion pair, (A), respectively. Species A is also produced on the metalation of polybutadiene with butyl lithium: TMEDA.

Stable conformations of N,N,N′,N′- tetraisopropylthiuram disulphide and monosulphide found in low temperature 1H N.m.r. spectra

¹H N.m.r. spectra of N,N,N′,N′-tetraisopropylthiuram disulphide and monosulphide in CS₂ suggested that internal rotations both around the carbamate C? N and isopropyl–nitrogen bonds are restricted at low temperatures. As a result, both compounds exist as two dl pairs of isomers with respect to rotation around the isopropyl–nitrogen bond. The spectra further suggest that one pair of the isomers is subdivided into two sets of dl pairs, possibly owing to the restriction of torsion of the two carbamate planes with respect to each other. Possible conformations of these three dl pairs of isomers are proposed, and the assignments of each proton signal are described.     

N-polyazolylmethanes. 1. Synthesis and nmr study of N,N′-diazolylmethanes

Thirteen N,N-diazolylmethanes, including derivatives of pyrazole, imidazole, 1,2,4-triazole, benzimidazole and indazole were prepared by reaction of azoles with methylene chloride under phase transfer catalysis conditions. The relative amounts of isomeric mixtures obtained with ‘asymmetric’ azoles or with equimolar mixtures of azoles are compared with literature results on monoalkylation of azoles. Proton and carbon-13 nmr spectra of the N,N'-diazolylmethanes are discussed.     

Mechanismus der Bildung und des Zerfalls von Amidkomplexen,II. Ni2+ und N,N′-Diglycyl-äthylendiamin bzw. N,N′-Diglycyl-1,3-diaminopropan

The kinetics of a two proton transfer between a blue octahedral and a yellow square planar nickel(II) complex with N, N′-diglycylethylenediamine (I, n = 1) resp. N, N′-diglycyl-1, 3-diaminopropane (I, n = 2) have been studied by spectrophotometry and pH-stat technique. The structure of these complexes and the mechanism of their interconversion are discussed and their reactions are compared with the analogous reactions of the copper(II)-N, N′-diglycyl-1, 3-diamino-propane complexes [1].     

μ‐{N,N′‐Bis[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl]oxamidato(2–)}‐1κ2O,O′:2κ4N,N′,N′′,N′′′‐bis­(4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐1κ2N,N′)dinickel(II) bis­(perchlorate)

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Ni₂(C₁₀H₂₀N₄O₂)(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂](ClO₄)₂ or [Ni(dmaeoxd)Ni(dmbp)₂](ClO₄)₂ {H₂dmaeoxd is N,N′‐bis­[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl]oxamide and dmbp is 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine}, the deprotonated dmaeoxd²⁻ ligand is in a cis conformation and bridges two Ni^II atoms, one of which is located in a slightly distorted square‐planar environment, while the other is in an irregular octa­hedral environment. The cation is located on a twofold symmetry axis running through both Ni atoms. The dmaeoxd²⁻ ligands inter­act with each other via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions, which results in an extended chain along the c axis.     

Formation and decay of N,N, N′, N′-tetraethyl-p-phenylenediamine radical cation in aqueous solution. A kinetic study by stopped-flow technique

A kinetic study has been carried out on the oxidation of N, N, N′, N′,-tetraethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TEPD) by metal ion like Ce⁴⁺, oxoanions viz., MnO₄^? and Cr₂O₇^2?; peroxides such as peroxomonosulphate (PMS), peroxodisulphate (PDS), and H₂O₂; and halogens namely Cl₂, Br₂, and I₂. The fast kinetics of the formation and decay of the radical cation TEPD^˙+ have been analyzed at 565 nm by the stopped-flow technique under pseudo-first-order conditions. From the kinetic data, it has been inferred that the reactions were found to be of first-order with respect to [TEPD] and [oxidant] but over all it has been of second-order. The observed second-order rate constants in both the formation and decay of TEPD^˙+ has been correlated with the oxidation potentials of the various oxidants employed in this study. The effect of pH on the oxidation has been investigated in the formation and decay of TEPD^˙+ as well as reduction studies have also been carried out using dithionite which has been found to regenerate the TEPD from the TEPD^˙+ and the corresponding rate constant has also been determined. Besides these, this article also explains how the TEPD, which forms TEPD^˙+ acts as a better electron relay than TMPD(N, N, N′, N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine) which forms TMPD^˙+, even though both of them undergo one-electron oxidation and are used in the chemical routes to solar energy conversions. The observed rate constants for electron transfer were correlated theoretically using Marcus theory. The observed and calculated rate constants have good correlation. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Determination of divalent trace metals in natural waters by preconcentration on N,N,N′,N′-tetra(2-aminoethyl)ethylenediamine-silica followed by on-line ion chromatography

A method for the on-line preconcentration and chromatography of trace metals, e.g., Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb, on N,N,N′,N′-tetra(2-aminoethyl)ethylenediamine-bonded silica is described. The preconcentrated metals were desorbed with 0.13 M tartrate, which allows direct separation on a cation-exchange chromatographic column. The metals separated were detected by postcolumn reaction with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol and measuring the absorbances at 500 nm. Linear calibration graphs were obtained over the range 1 · 10⁻⁸−3 · 10⁻⁶ M. The synthesis and characteristics of the chelated silica are described. The method was applied to the analysis of river and interstitial sediment waters.     

Komplexone VL. Reaktionsenthalpie und -entropie bei der Bildung der 1 : 1-Komplexe der Seltenen Erdionen mit 1,3-Diaminopropan-N,N, N′, N′-tetraacetat

The stability constants of the 1 :1 complexes of trimethylenediamine-N, N, N′ N′ tetraacetate ‘TMTA’ with rare earth trivalent cations have been checked. The heats involved in complex formation have been determined. The thermodynamic data show a similar trend as for those of the EDTA complexes, but the discontinuities in the plots ΔH vs. 1/r and ΔS vs. 1/r are displaced towards lower values of 1/r. A change of the coordination number and of the number of coordinated water molecules for the complexes along the series La³+ – Lu³⁺ is suggested. The simultaneous presence in solution of species differing only in the number of bonded H₂O for some members of the series has been confirmed by spectrophotometric measurements in the temperature range 2 to 70°. All facts support the conclusion that in dilute solution all SE^III aquo ions exhibit the same coordination number.     

Kinetics of metal exchange reaction of Cu(II)-poly(vinyl alcohol) complex with Ca(II)-ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid in aqueous solution

The kinetics of the metal exchange reaction between the Cu(II)-poly(vinyl alcohol) complex (Cu(II)-PVA) and Ca(II)-ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (Ca(II)-EDTA) were studied by mixing both solutions in a spectrophotometer at pH 9.7–11.0, at μ = 0.10(KNO₃) and at 25°C. The reaction is initiated by the formation of unstable Cu(II)-H-PVA by the attack of H⁺ to Cu(II)-PVA, and while both ligand exchange and metal exchange steps occur, the latter may be rate-determining. The kinetic expression of this reaction was determined as -d[Cu(II)-PVA]/dt = k[Cu(II)-PVA] [H⁺] [PVA]/[Ca(II)-EDTA], where k = k₁ + k′₂[H⁺], k₁ = 3.85 × 10⁻² sec⁻¹, k₂ = k′₂ · K^−H_Cu(II)-H-PVA 9.59 × 10⁵ 1 mol⁻¹ sec⁻¹.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, hydrogen bonding and spectroscopy of transition-metal complexes with the ligand (N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,3-propanediamine)

Six mononuclear complexes are reported with the tetradentate ligand N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,3-propanediamine, (abbreviated as pypn) i.e. [Cu(pypn)(ClO₄)₂](H₂O)_1/2 (1), [Fe(pypn)Cl₂](NO₃) (2), [Zn(pypn)Cl](ClO₄) (3), [Co(pypn)(NCS)₂](ClO₄) (4), [Co(pypn)(N₃)₂](ClO₄) (5), [Zn(pypn)(NCS)₂] (6). The synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of all six compounds and their spectroscopic properties are presented.The geometry of the Cu²⁺, Co³⁺, Zn²⁺, Fe³⁺ ions is essentially octahedrally based, with the mm conformation (for Cu) and m_sf conformations for the other 3 metal ions; in compound 3 the geometry around the Zn²⁺ is distorted trigonal bipyramidal. The stabilisation of the crystal lattices is maintained by interesting, relative strong hydrogen bonds.     

Two new thiophosphoramide structures: N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexylphosphorothioic triamide and O,O′‐diethyl (2‐phenylhydrazin‐1‐yl)thiophosphonate

The compound N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexylphosphorothioic triamide, C₁₈H₃₆N₃PS or P(S)[NHC₆H₁₁]₃, (I), crystallizes in the space group Pnma with the molecule lying across a mirror plane; one N atom lies on the mirror plane, whereas the bond‐angle sum at the other N atom has a deviation of some 8° from the ideal value of 360° for a planar configuration. The orientation of the atoms attached to this nonplanar N atom corresponds to an anti orientation of the corresponding lone electron pair (LEP) with respect to the P=S group. The P=S bond length of 1.9785 (6) Å is within the expected range for compounds with a P(S)[N]₃ skeleton; however, it is in the region of the longest bond lengths found for analogous structures. This may be due to the involvement of the P=S group in N—H...S=P hydrogen bonds. In O,O′‐diethyl (2‐phenylhydrazin‐1‐yl)thiophosphonate, C₁₀H₁₇N₂O₂PS or P(S)[OC₂H₅]₂[NHNHC₆H₅], (II), the bond‐angle sum at the N atom attached to the phenyl ring is 345.1°, whereas, for the N atom bonded to the P atom, a practically planar environment is observed, with a bond‐angle sum of 359.1°. A Cambridge Structural Database [CSD; Allen (2002). Acta Cryst. B 58 , 380–388] analysis shows a shift of the maximum population of P=S bond lengths in compounds with a P(S)[O]₂[N] skeleton to the shorter bond lengths relative to compounds with a P(S)[N]₃ skeleton. The influence of this difference on the collective tendencies of N...S distances in N—H...S hydrogen bonds for structures with P(S)[N]₃ and P(S)[O]₂[N] segments were studied through a CSD analysis.     

(1H‐Pyrazole‐κN2)(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐κ3N,N′,N′′)platinum(II) bis(perchlorate) nitromethane monosolvate

The reaction between [PtCl(terpy)]·2H₂O (terpy is 2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine) and pyrazole in the presence of two equivalents of AgClO₄ in nitromethane yields the title compound, [Pt(C₃H₄N₂)(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)](ClO₄)₂·CH₃NO₂, as a yellow crystalline solid. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction shows that the dicationic platinum(II) chelate is square planar with the terpyridine ligand occupying three sites and the pyrazole ligand occupying the fourth. The torsion angle subtended by the pyrazole ring relative to the terpyridine chelate is 62.4 (6)°. Density functional theory calculations at the LANL2DZ/PBE1PBE level of theory show that in vacuo the lowest‐energy conformation has the pyrazole ligand in an orientation perpendicular to the terpyridine ligand (i.e. 90°). Seemingly, the stability gained by the formation of hydrogen bonds between the pyrazole NH group and the perchlorate anion in the solid‐state structure is sufficient for the chelate to adopt a higher‐energy conformation.     

μ‐2,2′,6,6′‐Tetramethyl‐4,4′‐bipyridine‐κ2N1:N1′‐bis[(diethylenetriamine‐κ3N,N′,N′′)palladium(II)] tetranitrate

The title compound, [Pd₂(C₄H₁₃N₃)₂(C₁₄H₁₆N₂)](NO₃)₄, comprises discrete tetracationic dumbbell‐type dinuclear complex molecules and noncoordinating nitrate anions. Two Pd(dien)²⁺ moieties (dien is diethylenetriamine) are joined by the rigid linear exo‐bidentate bridging 2,2′,6,6′‐tetramethyl‐4,4′‐bipyridine ligand to form the dinuclear complex, which lies across a centre of inversion in the space group P2₁/n, so that the rings in the 2,2′,6,6′‐tetramethyl‐4,4′‐bipyridine bridging ligand are parallel. In the crystal, the primary and secondary amino groups of the dien ligand act as hydrogen‐bond donors towards the nitrate anions to form a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network.

(Aqua‐2κO)bis(2,2′‐bipyridine‐1κ2N,N′){μ‐N‐[3‐(dimethylamino)propyl]‐N′‐(2‐oxidophenyl)oxamidato(3−)‐1:2κ2O,O′:κ4O′′,N,N′,N′′}copper(II)nickel(II) perchlorate

The title complex, [CuNi(C₁₃H₁₆N₃O₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]ClO₄, has a cis‐oxamide‐bridged heterobinuclear cation, with a Cu...Ni separation of 5.3297 (6) Å, counterbalanced by a disordered perchlorate anion. The Cu^II and Ni^II cations are located in square‐pyramidal and octahedral coordination environments, respectively. The complex molecules are assembled into a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure through hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions. The influence of the two types of metal cation on the supramolecular structure is discussed.
