1:1 and 1:2 Complexes of Mercury(II) Halides with 1,3-Thiazolidine-2-thione. Spectral, Thermal, and Crystal Structure Studies

The series of compounds of the general formulae HgX₂(tzdtH) and HgX₂(tzdtH)₂ (X = Cl, Br, I; tzdtH = 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione) have been prepared, as well as Hg(tzdt)₂. IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectral data of the complexes indicate thione donation, which is confirmed by the crystal structure analyses of [HgBr₂(tzdtH)]₂, [HgI₂(tzdtH)]₂, and HgI₂(tzdtH)₂. The structures of [HgBr₂(tzdtH)]₂ and [HgI₂(tzdtH)]₂ consist of centrosymmetric doubly bridged dimers, but they are not isostructural. The asymmetry in the HgX₂Hg bridge is more pronounced in the bromo than in the iodo derivative [S–Hg–X(terminal) is 138.19(9)° for X = Br and 123.49(10)° for X = I], which is accompanied by the stronger Hg–S covalent bond in the bromo than in the iodo complex [2.435(4) vs. 2.510(3) Å]. The Hg–X(bridging) (X = Br, I) bond distances are shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii for mercury and X. Dimeric centrosymmetric complex units are held together only by van der Waals forces in [HgI₂(tzdtH)]₂, while in [HgBr₂(tzdtH)]₂ there is an intramolecular hydrogen bond of N–H Br type (3.34(1) Å). HgI₂(tzdtH)₂ exists as a mononuclear tetrahedral complex with two long Hg–S [2.672(1) Å] and two short Hg–I bond distances [2.688(1) Å] related by a twofold axis. The molecules of HgI₂(tzdtH)₂ are linked into infinite chains along the c axis by intermolecular N–H S [3.38(1) Å] hydrogen bonds.     

Extraction and Spectrophotometric Determination of Manganese(VII) with N1-Hydroxy-N1,N2-Diphenylbenzamidine

Abstract

Spectrophotometric determination of manganese(VII) at 614 nm after its extraction with N¹ -hydroxy-N¹,N²-diphenylbenzamidine into amyl alcohol at pH 7–8 is described. Beer's law was obeyed for 0.1–10 μg ml^?1 Mn(VII). The effects of experimental variables and of several diverse ions on the determination of manganese(VII) have been studied. The method has been applied to the determination of manganese in steels and in water extracts of a commercial tea and is found to be simple, precise and highly selective.     

1-Fluoro-2-hydrostibatrane

1-Fluoro-2-hydrostibatrane was synthesized by the reaction of antimony trifluoride with triethanolamine. The molecular structure of the compound was studied by X-ray diffraction and multinuclear magnetic resonance. The coordination polyhedron of the Sb atom is intermediate between a distorted tetrahedron (AX₄E type of molecule) and a tetrahedral pyramid (AX₄DE type of molecule). Diastereotopism of the geminal protons of each methylene group in the half-rings of the heterocycle, observed in the NMR spectra, vanishes at 65°C because of reversible cleavage of the N → Sb coordination bond and inversion of the nitrogen atom. The chemical environment of the OCH₂ and NCH₂ protons of the heterocycle and 2-hydroxyethyl protons is averaged due to the fast prototropic tautomerism at 75–120°C (in DMSO-d ₆).     

ZUR KENNTNIS DES NATRIUMDIPHENYLPHOSPHINOFORMIATS Ph2PCOONa1

Abstract

Ph ₂ PCOONa 2, hergestellt dutch Reaktion von Ph₂PNa mit CO₂, wird in protischen Medien rasch unter Bildung von Ph₂PH and CO₂ hydrolysiert. Die Hydrolyse verlauft in Natronlauge sehr viel langsamer and es bilden sich zusätzlich geringe Mengen Ph₂P(O)O^? und HCOO^?, Aus 2 and stöchiometrischen Mengen RI bilden sich tertiäre Phosphine Ph₂PR (R[dbnd]Me, Et) während mit überschüssigem MeI das Phosphoniumsalz [Ph₂PMe₂]I erhalten wird. Ph₂PCOOMe, Ph₂PCOOSiMe₃ bzw. Ph₂PCSSNa wurden durch Umsetzung von 2 mit (MeO)₂SO₂, Me₃SiCl bzw. CS₂ synthetisiert. Ph₂P(O)ONa and Ph₂P(S)SNa entstanden bei der Reaktion von 2 mit O₂ oder S₈ in Benzol.

Concerning Sodiumdiphenylphosphinoformiate Ph2PCOONa¹.

Ph₂PCOONa 2, prepared from Ph₂PNa and CO₂, is readily hydrolyzed in protic media with formation of Ph ₂ PH and CO₂. Hydrolysis is much slower in NaOH and small quantities of Ph₂P(O)O^? and HCOO^? are additionally formed. Reactions of 2 with RI in stoichiometrical amounts gave tertiary phosphines Ph₂PR (R[dbnd]Me, Et) while the phosphonium compound [Ph₂PMe₂]I resulted from 2 and MeI in excess. Ph₂PCOOMe, Ph₂PCOOSiMe₃ or Ph₂PCSSNa were obtained from 2 and (MeO)₂SO₂, Me₃SiCl or CS₂. Ph₂P(O)ONa and Ph₂P(S)SNa were isolated when 2 was reacted with O₂ or S₈ in benzene.     

Solid potassium-cation-conducting electrolytes in the K1?2xBaxFeO2 and K1?2xPbxFeO2 systems

Novel highly conductive potassium-cation solid electrolytes based on potassium monoferrite are synthesized via partial substitution of Ba²⁺ and Pb²⁺ for K⁺ and studied. Both additives lead to an abrupt increase in the conductivity of KFeO₂. In the barium-containing system, the conductivity is slightly higher and the activation energy is somewhat lower. This can be explained by the effect of dimensional factor, because the Ba²⁺ cation is larger than the Pb²⁺ cation. The reasons for the conductivity increase in potassium monoferrite upon introducing the additives are the formation of potassium vacancies in the course of substitution K⁺ → M²⁺ + V’_K and the extension of temperature range of existence of the high-temperature KFeO₂ modification.

Dependence of geminal1H−1H and31P−1H spin-spin coupling constants on the specific intramolecular C−H...X interaction

Participation of the proton in a specific intramolecular C−H...X (X=N, 0) interaction leads to an increase in its geminal¹H−¹H and¹H−³¹P spin-spin coupling constants (SSCC). According toab initio calculations carried out in the 6–31G^** basis set, the observed effect is mainly due to the change in the diamagnetic spin-orbital contribution to SSCC.

Specific intramolecular C-H...O interactions in 1-vinyl-2-formylimidazole and 1-vinyl-2-formylbenzimidazole studied by1H and13C NMR spectral data

According to the¹H and¹³C NMR spectral data, the vinyl group in 1-vinyl-2-formylimidazole and 1-vinyl-2-formylbenzimidazole istrans-oriented with respect to the formyl fragment, while the carbonyl group occupies theanti-position with respect to the N atom of pyridine cycle. A specific intramolecular C—H...O interaction of a weak hydrogen bond type is realized between the -H atom of the vinyl group and O atom of the carbonyl group.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Experimental and theoretical studies on group 1 metallacarboranes: Synthesis, structure and ab initio calculations of the NMR chemical shifts of the 1-(THF)-1-(TMEDA)-1-Na-2,4-(SiMe3)2-2,4-C2B4H5 and related carboranes

The reaction of gaseous HCl with either the disodium or dilithium compound of the [nido-2,4-(SiMe₃)₂-2,4-C₂B₄H₄]²⁻ dianion (I) in 1:1 stoichiometry in THF produced the monoprotonated species 1-Na(THF)₂-2,4-(SiMe₃)₂-2,4-C₂B₄H₅ (II) or 1-Li(THF)₂-2,4-(SiMe₃)₂-2,4-C₂B₄H₅ (III), in 81% and 80% yields, respectively. This method proved superior to that involving the direct reduction of the closo-C₂B₄ carborane by metal hydrides. II and III were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H, ¹¹B and ¹³C NMR and IR spectra. Compound II was recrystallized from a mixture THF, hexane and TMEDA (1:2:1) to isolate colorless crystals of the mixed solvated species, 1-(THF)-1-(TMEDA)-1-Na-2,4-(SiMe₃)₂-2,4-C₂B₄H₅ (IV), which were subsequently used for X-ray diffraction studies. The structure of IV showed that the capping metal occupied the apical position above the open C₂B₃ face of the carborane and that a hydrogen atom was bridging the two adjacent boron atoms on that face. The ¹¹B and ¹³C NMR spectra calculated by GIAO (gauge independent atomic orbital) methods at the 6-311G^** level on the B3LYP/6-31G^* optimized geometries of I–III, and a number of related nido- and closo-carboranes, gave excellent agreement with experiment, even in compounds where electron correlation effects are known to be important.     

Tin(IV) Tetrachloride Complexes with Bis-(Dialkylamino)phosphoryl Fluoride: A Multinuclear (119Sn, 31P, 19F,and 1H) NMR Characterization in Solution

The two octahedral complexes SnCl₄·2(O)PF(NR₂)₂ (R = Me or Et) were prepared from reaction of SnCl₄ with the ligand (R₂N)₂P(O)F in anhydrous CHCl₃. The new adducts have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and multinuclear (¹¹⁹Sn, ³¹P, ¹⁹F, and ¹H) NMR spectroscopy. The NMR data show that the adducts exist in solution as a mixture of cis and trans isomers with markedly different proportions. When compared with previously described hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) and trimethylphosphate (TMPA) analogues, our results indicate that the cis isomer is the predominant species in solution. Low temperature ³¹P and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra show that the compounds partially dissociate in dichloromethane.     

1H-NMR Metabolomics as a Tool for Winemaking Monitoring

The chemical composition of wine is known to be influenced by multiple factors including some viticulture practices and winemaking processes. ¹H-NMR metabolomics has been successfully applied to the study of wine authenticity. In the present study, ¹H-NMR metabolomics in combination with multivariate analysis was applied to investigate the effects of grape maturity and enzyme and fining treatments on Cabernet Sauvignon wines. A total of forty wine metabolites were quantified. Three different stages of maturity were studied (under-maturity, maturity and over-maturity). Enzyme treatments were carried out using two pectolytic enzymes (E1 and E2). Finally, two proteinaceous fining treatments were compared (vegetable protein, fining F1; pea protein and PVPP, fining F2). The results show a clear difference between the three stages of maturity, with an impact on different classes of metabolites including amino acids, organic acids, sugars, phenolic compounds, alcohols and esters. A clear separation between enzymes E1 and E2 was observed. Both fining agents had a significant effect on metabolite concentrations. The results demonstrate that ¹H-NMR metabolomics provides a fast and robust approach to study the effect of winemaking processes on wine metabolites. These results support the interest to pursue the development of ¹H-NMR metabolomics to investigate the effects of winemaking on wine quality.     

1H NMR Study on Solubilization of Aromatic Solutes in Gemini Cationic Surfactant Micelles

The ¹HNMR spectra of gemini cationic surfactant 1,3‐Propane diaminium N, N‐didodecyl‐2‐hydrxyl‐N,N,N′N′‐tetramethyl‐dichloride (ClC₁₂H₂₅‐(CH₃)₂N‐CH₂CH(OH) CH₂N(CH₃)₂ C₁₂H₂₅ Cl), abbreviated to GC₁₂NCl solutions were determined in the presence of toluene, phenyl ethane, benzyl alcohol, or 2‐phenylethanol. Based on observations, probable solubilization sites of the substrate molecule within the micelles are discussed. The examined results indicate that the polarity of aromatic solutes affects their solubilization site in the micelle solution. The methylene in long chain of GC₁₂NCl shows a single signal in the presence of toluene and phenyl ethane, however, when benzyl alcohol or 2‐phenylethanol is in existence, the peak of ethylenes in long chain Gemini surfactant splits into an upfield signal and a downfield signal in the solubilization system with enhancement of molar ratio of aromatic solutes to the sufactant. The addition of benzyl alcohol and 2‐phenylethanol causes a downfield shift of the methyl signal, the other signal were up field shifted by the addition of the phenyl derivatives. From the dependence of chemical shifts of GC₁₂NCl on solubilizate concentration, it is ascertained that at low solubilizate contents the aromatic solutes are solubilized by adsorption at the micelle‐water interface. With further addition of aromatic solutes, the solubilization site of the solubilizate varied gradually from the mantle of the surfactant micelle to its inner core.     

The Synthesis of Novel Crown Ethers, Part VII [1]. Coumarin Derivatives of Benzocrowns and Cation Binding from Fluorescence Spectra

4-[3-(1-benzopyran-2-one)] derivativesof benzo[12]crown-4, benzo[15]crown-5 andbenzo-[18]crown-6 were synthesized from4-[3-(1-benzopyran-2-one)]-1,2-dihydroxy-benzenereacting with bis-ethyleneglycol dihalides orpentaethylene glycol ditosylate in alkali carbonate/DMF/water. The original products were identified byhigh resolution EI-mass spectra as well as IR,¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. The 1 : 1binding constants of Mg²⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺ andK⁺ with the coumarin-benzocrowns were estimated usingfluorescence emission spectroscopy in acetonitrile.The complexing enhanced quenching fluorescence spectra(CEQFS) and complexing enhanced fluorescence spectra(CEFS) exhibited the ion binding powers due tocationic recognition rules of the macrocycles.

Borane-induced radical reduction of 1-alkenyl- and 1-alkynyl-λ-iodanes with tetrahydrofuran

Exposure of 1-alkenyl(phenyl)- and 1-alkynyl(phenyl)-λ³-iodanes to THF at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of trialkylborane results in smooth reduction to give 1-iodo-1-alkenes and 1-iodo-1-alkynes as major products, respectively. The key step in the reductions probably involves a single-electron transfer from α-tetrahydrofuryl radical to the λ³-iodanes, which generates the labile [9-I-2] iodanyl radicals.     

New accessory for studies of isotopic 1H/2H exchange and biomolecular interactions using transmission infrared spectroscopy

We present here a new accessory for IR transmission measurements of ¹H/²H exchange, as an ancillary tool for monitoring structural features of biomolecules in aqueous solution. This new accessory results from the combination of two dialysis membranes and a conventional liquid cell having two cylinders containing ²H₂O buffer. When compared with conventional transmission measurements, carried out either after dissolving lyophilized biomolecules in ²H₂O or after dialyzing the aqueous solution considered against ²H₂O buffer, this accessory shows the following advantages: (1) controlled measurements over the initial steps of this isotopic exchange and absence of molecular aggregation, and (2) smaller sample amounts. This new Fourier transform IR cell can also be used to analyze ligand–biomolecule and drug–cell interactions.      

1-Methyl-2(3,4)-(1-vinylpyrrol-2-yl)pyridinium iodides: some structural features revealed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy

The reactions of 2-, 3-, and 4-(1-vinylpyrrol-2-yl)pyridines with methyl iodide afford the corresponding quaternary salts. Analysis of their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra showed that the quaternization of the nitrogen atom considerably enhances the -acceptor effect of the pyridine ring on the pyrrole ring and on the vinyl group. 1-Methyl-2-(1-vinylpyrrol-2-yl)pyridinium iodide contains no weak intramolecular C--H...N hydrogen bond present in the starting compound.     

Phenylethylidene-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinoxalin-2-ones: promising building blocks for Cu recognition

A series of sulfonamido-substituted phenylethylidene-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinoxalin-2-one derivatives in which both of the fluorophore and ionophore are integrated into one structural unit, have been investigated. They all exhibit high selectivity toward Cu²⁺ in ethanol in the presence of other metallic ions (Zn²⁺, Mg²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Mn²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Ag⁺), as well as fast, stable, and reversible binding, as is evidenced by the observation of a red shift in the UV-vis spectrum, ‘ON-OFF’ fluorescence response. In addition, titration and MALDI-TOF measurements indicated that a 1:1 (and possibly also 2:1 (organic ligand: Cu²⁺) complexes were formed, depending on the relative amount of Cu²⁺ added to the solution of the organic ligand. It was also found that the binding constant could be tuned by modifying the nature and position of the substituents attached to the central benzene ring in the quinoxalone derivative. In acetonitrile, unlike in ethanol, these ligands undergo oxidation-decomposition by Cu²⁺ and therefore, no UV-vVis absorption bands could be observed. However, due to color change (from yellow to transparent) they could be useful as dosimeters in this solvent.

Theoretical rotational-vibrational spectra of theX 3 B 1,a 1 A 1 andb 1 B 1 states of NH 2 +

Summary The three-dimensional potential energy functions have been calculated from highly correlated multireference configuration interaction electronic wavefunctions for theX ³ B ₁,a ¹ A ₁, andb ¹ B ₁ states of the NH ₂ ⁺ ion. For the quasi-linear electronic ground state this information and the electric dipole moment functions have been used to calculate spectroscopic constants, line intensities and rotationally resolved absorption spectra. For thea ¹ A ₁-b ¹ B ₁ bent/quasi-linear Renner-Teller system ro-vibronic energy levels have been obtained from a variational approach accounting for anharmonicity, rotation-vibration and electronic angular momenta coupling effects. The vibronic levels are given for energies up to 13 500 cm^–1 for the bending levels and up to 8000 cm^–1 for the stretching and combination levels.Dedicated in the honor of Prof. Werner Kutzelnigg
