(2‐Aminoethanethiolato‐N,S)bis(ethylenediamine‐N,N′)cobalt(III) dinitrate

In the title compound, [Co(C₂H₆NS)(C₂H₈N₂)₂](NO₃)₂, the Co^III atom has a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, coordinated by one 2‐amino­ethane­thiol­ate and two ethyl­enedi­amine ligands. The three five‐membered chelate rings adopt a gauche conformation with the unfavoured (lel)₂(ob) form, which is ascribed to hydrogen bonds between the amine groups in the complex cation and the nitrate counter‐anions [N?O 2.900 (3)–3.378 (3) Å].     

Bis(tetraphenylphosphonium) tris(oxalato‐O,O′)germanate(IV)

The synthesis and structure of the title compound, (C₂₄H₂₀P)₂[Ge(C₂O₄)₃], are reported. The PPh₄⁺ cations in the structure form infinite zigzag chains in which the P?P distances alternate between 6.229 (1) and 7.118 (1) Å, and the P?P?P angle is 131.4 (1) Å. The shorter P?P distance is associated with a sixfold phenyl embrace. However, the longer P?P distance is associated with both phenyl–phenyl interactions and interactions between the cations and a twofold symmetric [Ge(C₂O₄)₃]^2? anion. In the cation–anion interactions, the P?O distance is 4.444 (2) Å, the O?P—C_distal angle is 175.0 (1)° and the shortest H?O distances are 2.74 and 3.09 Å.     

trans‐Bis(diethanolamine‐N,O)bis(saccharinato‐N)cadmium(II)

The structure of the title complex consists of isolated [Cd(C₇H₄NO₃S)₂(C₄H₁₁NO₂)₂] units. The Cd²⁺ cation lies on an inversion centre and is octahedrally coordinated by two N,O‐bidentate diethanol­amine (dea) and two N‐bonded saccharinate (sac) ligands [saccharin is 1,2‐benziso­thia­zol‐3(2H)‐one 1,1‐dioxide]. The dea ligands constitute the equatorial plane of the octahedron, forming two five‐membered chelate rings around the Cd^II ion, while the sac ligands are localized at the axial positions. The Cd—N_sac, Cd—N_dea and Cd—O_dea bond distances are 2.3879 (12), 2.3544 (14) and 2.3702 (13) Å, respectively. The H atoms of the free and coordinated hydroxyl groups of the dea ligands are involved in hydrogen bonding with the carbonyl and sulfonyl O atoms of the neighbouring sac ions, while the amine H atom forms a hydrogen bond with the free hydroxyl O atom. The individual mol­ecules are held together by strong hydrogen bonds, forming an infinite three‐dimensional network.     

Synthesis of well‐defined second‐generation dendritic polymers of isoprene (I) and styrene (S): (S2I)3, (SI′I)3, (I″I′I)3, and (I′2I)4

The synthesis of second‐generation (G‐2) dendritic polymers of isoprene (I) and styrene (S) was achieved with anionic polymerization high‐vacuum techniques and by performing the following steps: (1) selective reaction of a living chain with the chlorosilane group of 4‐(chlorodimethylsilyl)styrene (a dual‐functionality compound) to produce a macromonomer, (2) addition of a second living chain (same or different) to the double bond of the macromonomer, (3) polymerization of I with the anionic sites, and (4) reaction of the produced off‐center living species with trichloromethyl silane or tetrachlorosilane (CH₃SiCl₃ or SiCl₄). The combined characterization results showed that the G‐2 dendritic macromolecules synthesized—(S₂I)₃, (SI′I)₃, (I″I′I)₃, (I′₂I)₄—have a high molecular and compositional homogeneity. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Stereochemische Korrelationen zwischen (2R,4′R,8′R)-α-Tocopherol, (25S,26)-Dihydroxycholecalciferol, (–)-(1S,5R)-Frontalin und (–)-(R)-Linalol

Stereochemical Correlations between (2R,4′R,8′R)-α-Tocopherol, (25S,26)-Dihydroxycholecalciferol, (–)-(1S,5R)-Frontalin and (–)-(R)-Linalol The optically active C₅- and C₄-building units 1 and 2 with their hydroxy group at a asymmetric C-atom were transformed to (–)-(1S,5R)-Frontalin ( 7 ) and (–)-(3R)-Linalol ( 8 ) respectively; 1 and 2 had been used earlier in the preparation of the chroman part of (2R,4′R,8′R)-α-Tocopherol ( 6a , vitamin E), and for introduction of the side chain in (25S,26)-Dihydroxycholecalciferol ((25S)- 4 ), a natural metabolite of Vitamin D₃. The stereochemical correlations resulting from these converions fit into a coherent picture with those correlations already known from literature and they confirm our earlier stereochemical assignments. A stereochemical assignment concerning the C(25)-epimers of 25,26-Dihydroxycholecalciferol that was in contrast to our findings and that initiated the conversion of 1 and 2 to 7 resp. 8 for additional stereochemical correlations has been corrected in the meantime by the authors [26].     

Triaqua(oxalato‐O,O′)oxovanadium(IV) dihydrate

In the structure of the title compound, [VO(C₂O₄)(H₂O)₃]·2H₂O, the V atom of the oxovanadium(IV) cation is coordinated to one bidentate oxalate anion and three water mol­ecules, resulting in a neutral complex. Two more water mol­ecules are not coordinated to the V atoms but are involved in the hydrogen‐bonding network, which consists of ten different hydrogen bonds.     

Layered (ethyl­ene­di­amine‐κ2N,N′)cobalt(II) molybdate(VI)

The structure of poly­[[(ethyl­enedi­amine‐κ²N,N′)­cobalt(II)]‐μ‐tetra­oxo­molyb­dato(VI)], [Co(C₂H₈N₂)MoO₄]_n or [CoMoO₄(C₂H₈N₂)]_n, is composed of puckered layers constructed from MoO₄ tetrahedra and CoN₂O₄ octahedra, with the ethyl­enedi­amine ligand coordinated to the Co atom in a cis fashion. Each pair of cobalt sites forms a binu­clear edge‐sharing unit through a {Co₂O₂} interaction. The binuclear octahedral units are interconnected through the bridging MoO₄ tetrahedra into a layer structure.     

Separation of (3R, 3′ R)-, (3R, 3′ S; meso)-, (3S, 3′ S)- Zeaxanthin, (3R, 3′ R, 6′ R)-, (3R, 3′ S, 6′ S)- and (3S, 3′ S, 6′ S)-Lutein via the dicarbamates of (S)-(+)-α-(1-naphthyl) ethyl isocyanate

A method is described for the qualitative and quantitative determination of configurational isomers of zeaxanthin (=3,3′ -dihydroxy-β, β -carotene) and lutein (=3,3′ -dihydroxy-α -cartotene). It is based on the reaction of these zeaxathin and lutein isomers with (S)-(+)-α-(1-naphthyl) ethyl isocyanate to afford diastereomeric dicarbamates, which are analyzed by HPLC.     

Bis(8‐quinolinolato‐N,O)platinum(II) and its synthetic intermediate, 8‐hydroxyquinolinium dichloro(8‐quinolinolato‐N,O)platinate(II) tetrahydrate

Bis(8‐quinolinolato‐N,O)­platinum(II), [Pt(C₉H₆NO)₂], (I), has a centrosymmetric planar structure with trans coordination. The molecules form an inclined π stack, with an interplanar spacing of 3.400 (6) Å. 8‐Hydroxy­quinolinium dichloro(8‐quinolinolato‐N,O)­platinate(II) tetrahydrate, (C₉H₈NO)[PtCl₂(C₉H₆NO)]·4H₂O, (II), is soluble in water and is regarded as the synthetic intermediate of the insoluble neutral compound (I). The uncoordinated 8‐hydroxy­quinolinium cations and the monoquinolinolate complexes form an alternating π stack. The origins of fluorescence and phosphorescence in (II) are assigned to the 8‐hydroxy­quinolinium cation and the monoquinolinolate–Pt complex, respectively.     

Ligand dependence of metal-metal bonding in the d(3)d(3) dimers M(2)X(9)(n-) (M(III) = Cr, Mo, W; M(IV) = Mn, Tc, Re; X = F, Cl, Br, I)

The ligand dependence of metal-metal bonding in the d(3)d(3) face-shared M(2)X(9)(n-) (M(III) = Cr, Mo, W; M(IV) = Mn, Tc, Re; X = F, Cl, Br, I) dimers has been investigated using density functional theory. In general, significant differences in metal-metal bonding are observed between the fluoride and chloride complexes involving the same metal ion, whereas less dramatic changes occur between the bromide and iodide complexes and minimal differences between the chloride and bromide complexes. For M = Mo, Tc, and Re, change in the halide from F to I results in weaker metal-metal bonding corresponding to a shift from either the triple metal-metal bonded to single bonded case or from the latter to a nonbonded structure. A fragment analysis performed on M(2)X(9)(3-) (M = Mo, W) allowed determination of the metal-metal and metal-bridge contributions to the total bonding energy in the dimer. As the halide changes from F to I, there is a systematic reduction in the total interaction energy of the fragments which can be traced to a progressive destabilization of the metal-bridge interaction because of weaker M-X(bridge) bonding as fluoride is replaced by its heavier congeners. In contrast, the metal-metal interaction remains essentially constant with change in the halide.     

Tetraammine(selenito‐O,O′)cobaltate(III) nitrate monohydrate

The title compound crystallizes as the mono­hydrate, [Co(SeO₃)(NH₃)₄]NO₃·H₂O. The crystallographic mirror symmetry coincides with the molecular symmetry; the mirror plane passes through the cation, anion and water mol­ecule. The CoN₄O₂ octahedron is distorted, with the selenito group acting as a bidentate ligand through two bridging O atoms to the cobalt. The coordinated Se—O distance is 1.742 (2) Å, whereas the uncoordinated Se—O distance is 1.646 (3) Å. A three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network exists between [Co(SeO₃)(NH₃)₄]NO₃ and the water mol­ecule. The nitrate anion and water mol­ecule form open pores in the structure when hydrogen bonded to two neighboring [Co(SeO₃)(NH₃)₄]⁺ cations. Selenium participates in two types of relatively close intermolecular interactions with neighboring charged species (Se?N1 and Se?O3), but does not participate in an interaction with a neighboring O2 atom, the nearest contact distance being 4.638 (3) Å.     

Synthesis,characterization and magnetism of copper(II)‐lanthanide(III) heterobimetalic complexes with N,N'‐oxamidobis‐(benzoato)cuprate (II)

Seven new μ‐oxamido copper(II)‐lanthanide(III) heterobimetalic complexes described by the formula Cu(obbz) Ln‐(Ph‐phen)₂NO₃(Ln = La, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er), where obbz denotes the oxamidobis(benzoato) and Ph‐phen represents 5‐phenyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline, have been synthesized and characterized by the elemental analyses, spectroscopic (IR, UV, ESR) studies, magnetic moments (at room temperature) and molar conductivity measurement. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Cu(obbz)Gd(Ph‐phen)₂NO₃ complex has been measured over the range 4.2–300 K. The least‐squares fit of the experimental susceptibilities based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, ? = ?2 J?₁·?₂, yielded J= +1.28 cm^?1, a weak ferromagnetic coupling, A plausible mechanism for a ferromagnetic coupling between Gd(III)‐Cu(II) is discussed in terms of spin‐polarization.     

Hexaamminecobalt(III) aquabis(nitrilotriacetato‐κ4N,O,O′,O′′)gadolinate(III) octahydrate

Crystals of the title compound, [Co(NH₃)₆][Gd(C₆H₆NO₆)₂(H₂O)]·8H₂O, were synthesized in and collected from aqueous solution. The hexaamminecobalt(III) cation has the expected octahedral geometry, while the Gd coordination sphere has the geometry of a tricapped trigonal prism, with the two nitrilo­tri­acetate N atoms and one water mol­ecule occupying the capping positions.     

(Vapor + liquid) equilibrium properties of (ethane + ethanol) system at (295, 303, and 313) K

The (vapor + liquid) equilibrium data for binary system of (ethane + ethanol) at three temperatures (295, 303, and 313) K were measured using a designed pressure–volume–temperature (PVT) apparatus. A wide range of pressures, (1 to 5) MPa, were considered for the measurements. The phase composition, saturated density, and viscosity of liquid phase were measured for each pressure and temperature. The experimental (vapor + liquid) equilibrium data were compared with the modeling results obtained using the Peng–Robinson and Soave–Redlich–Kwong equations of state.
