Ternäre Komplexe in Lösung IV. Einfluss von 2,2′-Bipyridyl auf Stabilität und Acidität des Cu2+-Adenosin-5′-monophosphat-N(1)-oxid-1:1-Komplexes

The ternary Cu²⁺?2,2′-bipyridyl-adenosine-5′-monophosphate-N(1)-oxide complex was investigated and compared with the binary Cu²⁺-adenosine-5′-monophosphate-N(1)-oxide complex (I) (cf. [2]). In both complexes Cu²⁺ is bound to the o-amino-N-oxide group of adenosine-5′-monophosphate-N(1)-oxide (HL). The stabilities of the complexes monoprotonated at the phosphate group are of the same order: log K = 11,20, and log K = 11,19. The acidity constants for the deprolonation of the phosphate group in these complexes are slightly different (pK = 5,55, and pK = 5,88), but as expected both values are lower than the corresponding value pK = 6,12 of the ligand.     

Über den Einfluss der pK-Werte von Anilinen auf die Bildung und Folgereaktionen von substituierten Butadienen aus Cumalinsäure-methylester

The Influence of Aniline pK Values on the Formation and Reactivity of Substituted Butadienes from Methyl Coumalate The product of the reaction between 2 equiv. of methyl coumalate ( 1 ) and 1 equiv. of a substituted aromatic amine depends on the pK value of the latter. Aromatic amines with pK values between 1.05 and 2.8 produce bicyclic lactones 4 , whereas those with higher pK values also give 2-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nona-3,7-diene-9-carboxylic acids 9 . The latter, products of the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction 8 → 9 , may in certain cases even prevail.     

A Unified Interpretation of Kinetic Data on the Acid-Induced Cleavage and of Product-Analysis Data on Spontaneous Cleavage of the Mono-ol Cation μ-Hydroxo-bis[pentaamminecobalt(III)] ([(NH3)5CoOHCo(NH3)5]5+)

Recent work on the spontaneous (= acid-independent) cleavage of the mono-ol cation, i.e. in Cl^?/ClO and NO/ClO mixed-electrolyte media has established (by analysis of anion-competition experiments) the existence of reactive ion pairs of the mono-ol cation with Cl^? and NO. Their existence must be allowed for in the analysis of the rate data for the acid-induced cleavage (pH 0–1) of the mono-ol cation in these mixed-electrolyte media. Thus, previous data for acidic Cl^?/ClO media have been re-interpreted in this work, and new data for NO/ClO media have been analyzed in the same sense. This analysis removes an apparent discrepancy in the orders of magnitude of ion aggregate stability constants between the mono-ol and similar binuclear cations.     

Contribution à l'étude du système quaternaire K+?NH4+?CrO?SO?H2O: II. L'isotherme de 25°C

The study at 25°C of the system K⁺? NH? CrO? SO? H₂O has shown experimentally the existence of a new type of quaternary system of solubility with two cations and two anions. The solubility diagramm is caracterized by the presence of two adjacent ternary limiting systems with a miscibility gap, three univariant lines (one of them being evanescent), one invariant point, three binary and one ternary miscibility gaps.     

Photoelectrochemistry with Colloidal Semiconductors; Laser Studies of Halide Oxidation in Colloidal Dispersions of TiO2 and α-Fe2O3

Aqueous sols of TiO₂ (anatase, particle radius 25 Å) were excited with (347.1 nm)-laser light and the reaction of valence-band holes with halide ions (X = I^?, Br^?, Cl^?) was investigated. Hole transfer takes place within the duration of the (10 ns)-laser pulse and results in the formation of anion radicals according to the sequence: The quantum yield of X increases in the order Cl < Br < I, attaining 0.8 for I at pH 1. It is affected by pH, halide concentration and the presence of a protective agent for the sol. RuO₂ deposited onto TiO₂ enhances markedly Cl and Br -formation, but has no effect on the yield of I. Laser-photolysis investigation of halide oxidation were also carried out with colloidal Fe₂O₃ (particle radius 600 Å). For I_2?formation, the quantum yield exceeds 0.9 indicating almost quantitative hole scavenging by iodide.     

Metal complexes with macrocyclic ligands. Part XX. Influence of coordinated ligands onto the complexation rate of Ni2+ with 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane

The kinetics of the reaction between 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (Cy) and Ni²⁺ in the presence of series of ligands L = fluoride, acetate, glycolate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, methanetriacetate, 1,3,5-cyclohexanetriacetate, tricarballylate, picolinate, glycinate, iminodiacetate, nitrilotriacetate. N,N′ -ethylenediiminodiacetate, ammonia, pyridine, ethylenediamine, 1,3-propanediamine and diethylenetriamine were studied by pH-static and spectrophotometric methods at 25° and I = 0.5. By analysis of the log k/log [L] and/or log k/pH profiles the resolved bimolecular rate constants K (Table 3) were determined using a non-linear least-square fitting procedure. Practically for all systems the rate constant K, describing the reaction between the 1:1 Ni²⁺ complex and the monoprotonated form of the macrocycle, was obtained. In some cases, however, also K and K were found. Since the experimental conditions were choosen so that NiL was mainly formed, the reactivity of NiL₂ was generally not measurable. The effect of the number of coordinated donor groups in NiL and of the charge of NiL on K is discussed. Both effects seem to indicate that for the reaction between NiL and CyH⁺ first bond formation is not the rate-determining step.     

63Cu-NMR.-Untersuchungen von Kupfer (I)-Tetrapyridin-und Kupfer (I)-Tetraacetonitrilsolvaten

⁶³Cu-NMR.-Spectra of Cu(CH₃CN)₄X (X = ClO, BF, PF) and Cu(C₅H₅N)₄X (X = ClO, BF) in solution are reported at different temperatures and concentrations. The influence of temperature on the linewidth and chemical shift indicates an equilibrium of Cu(CH₃CN) and Cu(C₅H₅N) with another complex of lower symmetry. The preferential solvation of Cu (I) by pyridin in a mixture acetonitrile/pyridine is clearly shown.     

Influence of 2,2'-bipyridyl on the stability of Cu2+ -glycine-1:1 complexes

The stability constant of the Cu²⁺-2,2′-bipyridyl-glycine complex (log K = 7,88) was measured and compared with that of the binary Cu²⁺-glycine complex (log K = 8,27). The value Δ log K = ?0,4 (cf. equation (3)) is in the order which should be expected for the coordination of a mixed O? N-ligand to (Cu-Bipy)²⁺ which results in the formation of a ternary complex (cf. [1]).     

Molecular Ions of Transient Species: Vinyl-Alcohol Cation

Vinyl alcohol 1 was prepared by thermolysis of cyclobutanol and its photoelectron spectrum was determined. I = 9.18 eV and I = 9.52 eV were found, the vibrations progression (? = 1400 cm^?1) for this lowest energy transition 1(X)→1⁺(X?) indicating significant skeletal changes in the ion. The question of the relative stability of the syn ( 1 )- vs. anti-ions ( 1 ) is discussed in the light of theoretical calculations. The energy of the second π-state of 1 ⁺ is estimated at 13.6–14.1 eV above the ground state of 1 .     

Conformational Analysis and Chromic Acid Oxidation. Oxidation Rates and Equilibrium Constants of Epimeric Alcohols

The linear free energy relationship of Sicher for relative reactivity towards chromic acid oxidation (ΔΔG) as a function of thermodynamic stability (ΔG) has been reexamined with 23 pairs of epimeric alcohols. The plot of ΔG vs. ΔG has a slope of 0.8, a correlation coefficient of 0.97 and a standard deviation of 0.23 kcal/mol on ΔΔG_Ox. The limitations of the relationship and the exceptions are discussed.     

L'action de l'ammoniac sur l'hydroxyde de cadmium et la stabilité des complexes en milieu aqueux

The solubility of precipitated Cd(OH)₂ was determined at 25°C in 1 M NaClO₄, as a function of pH and of the ammonia content of the solutions. Formation constants were obtained for the following hydroxo, ammine and hydroxo-ammine complexes: CdOH⁺, Cd(OH)₂, Cd(OH), CdNH, Cd(NH₃), Cd(NH₃), Cd(NH₃) and Cd(OH)₂NH₃. The solubility product of the hydroxide was also calculated. The presence of polynuclear species was investigated by titrimetric determinations of the hydrogen ion concentration at constant metal concentration.     

Charge Dispersal in the Quinuclidine Radical Cation and in the Quinuclidinium Ion,as Revealed by PE and ICR Spectroscopy

The n ionization energies I and the gas-phase basicities GB of CH₃-, Cl-, or CN-substituted quinuclidines have been measured by PE and ICR spectroscopy. The dependence of the shifts ΔI and ΔGB (relative to the values of the parent molecule) allow conclusions about the charge dispersal accompanying the n ionization or the protonation of quinuclidine in the gas phase. The agreement with the results of a minimal basis set ab initio calculation is excellent. Comparison of the solution pK_a values with either I or GB reveals that 2-substituted quinuclidines exhibit sizeable solvent-induced proximity effects, i.e. that the corresponding quinuclidinium ions are more acidic in solution than expected on the basis of the gas-phase basicities. This agrees with earlier results concerning 2-substituted pyridines.     

Réactions de substitution dans l'anion tétrachloropalladate(II) avec des diamines. I. Ethylènediamine

The replacement of Cl^? by ethylenediamine (en) in PdCl has been followed spectrophotometrically at 25°C and μ = 1 (NaClO₄); it proceeds in two steps leading to Pd(en)Cl₂ and Pd(en), respectively. The observed rate constants are discussed in terms of the mechanism proposed by Reinhardt [1] for the successive ammination reactions of PdCl.     

Molecular Recognition in Anion Coordination Chemistry. Structure,Binding Constants and Receptor-Substrate Complementarity of a Series of Anion Cryptates of a Macrobicyclic Receptor Molecule

The crystal structures of four anion cryptates [X^? ? BT -6H⁺] formed by the protonated macrobicyclic receptor BT -6H⁺ with F^?, Cl^?, Br^? and N have been determined. They provide a homogeneous series of anion coordination patterns with the same ligand. The small F^?-ion is tetracoordinated, while Cl^? and Br^? are bound in an octahedron of H-bonds. The non-complementarity between these spherical anions and the ellipsoïdal cavity of BT -6H⁺ is reflected in ligand distortions. Structural complementarity is achieved for the linear triatomic substrate N, which is bound by two pyramidal arrays of three H-bonds, each interacting with a terminal N-atom of N. The formation constants of the complexes formed by BT -6H⁺ with a variety of anions (halides, N, NO, carboxylates, SO, HPO, AMP^2?, ADP^3?, ATP^4?, P₂O) have been determined. Very strong complexations are found, as well as marked electrostatic and structural effects on stability and selectivity; in particular the binding of F^?, Cl^?, Br^?, and N may be analyzed in terms of the crystal structure data. The cryptand BT -6H⁺ is a molecular receptor containing an ellipsoïdal recognition site for linear triatomic substrates of size compatible with the size of the molecular cacity. Further developments of various aspects of anion coordination chemistry are considered.     

A Lipophilic Derivative of Vitamin B12 as Selective Carrier for Anions

Incorporation of the lipophilic Co(III)-cobyrinate octadecyl-cobester 1 and of its ionic aqua-cyano perchlorate derivative 2 into poly(vinyl chloride)/bis(1-butylpentyl) adipate liquid membranes induces a selectivity, measured potentiometrically, of about 10³ for SCN^? an NO with respect to CI^?, but only of about 4 for ClO vs. CI^?. This is in contrast to classical anion-exchanger membranes, which exhibit a selectivity sequence ClO > SCN^? ? NO > Cl^? in accordance with the Hofmeister, series. The Co(III)-corrins 1 and 2, when components in solvent polymeric membranes, undergo exchange of axial ligands an behave as highly selective carriers fof SCN^? and NO.     

Réactions chimiques oscillantes III. Effets de la température et de la composition chimique sur la «période d'induction» des systèmes BrO/Ce4+/Cyclohexanone et BrO/Ce4+/Cyclopentanone

Oscillating Chemical Reactions. III. Effects of the Temperature and Chemical Composition on the ‘Induction Period’ of the BrO /Ce⁴⁺/Cyclohexanon and BrO /Ce⁴⁺/Cyclopentanon Systems A study of the influence of the temperature and composition of the BrO/Ce⁴⁺/cyclohexanon (S1) and BrO/Ce⁴⁺/cyclopentanon (S2) systems has shown a very particular behaviour for τ_ind. for a given ratio α of concentrations: Moreover, for 0.27 ? α ? 0.32, log¹/τ_ind. is no longer a linear function of the inverse of the temperature: a break in the line log¹/τ_ind. = f(1/T) occurs.     

Variable-Temperature and Variable-Pressure Kinetic and Equilibrium studies of formation and dissociation of [V(H2O)5NCS]2+

The kinetics of formation and dissociation of [V(H₂O)₅NCS]²⁺ have been studied, as a function of excess metal-ion concentration, temperature, and pressure, by the stopped-flow technique. The thermodynamic stability of the complex was also determined spectrophotometrically. The kinetic and equilibrium data were submitted to a combined analysis. The rate constants and activation parameters for the formation (f) and dissociation (r) of the complex are: k/M ^?1 · S^?1 = 126.4, k/s^?1 = 0.82; ΔH /kJ · mol^?1 = 49.1, ΔH/kJ · mol^?1 = 60.6; ΔS/ J·K^?1·mol^?1= ?39.8, ΔSJ·K^?1·mol^?1 = ?43.4; ΔV/cm³·mol^?1 = ?9.4, and ΔV/cm³ · mol^?1 =?17.9. The equilibrium constant for the formation of the monoisothiocynato complex is K²⁹⁸/M ^?1 = 152.9, and the enthalpy and entropy of reaction are ΔH⁰/kJ · mol^?1 = ? 11.4 and ΔS⁰/J. K^?1mol^?1 = +3.6. The reaction volume is ΔV⁰/cm³· mol^?1 = +8.5. The activation parameters for the complex-formation step are similar to those for the water exchange on [V(H₂O)₆]³⁺ obtained previously by NMR techniques. The activation volumes for the two processes are consistent with an associative interchange, I_a, mechanism.     

Chemistry of Superoxide Ion as Revealed by the Differential Oxidation of Arylpyruvates

Superoxide ion apparently reacts with acidic substrates via species such as O₂, HO₂, O, HO and H₂O₂. Arylpyruvates give arylacetates and arylaldehydes indicating competing nucleophilic and free radical oxidation. Benzaldehyde is further oxidized by free radical and nucleophilic dioxygen species giving benzoic acid. p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde gives the corresponding benzoic acid which is best accounted for by HO₂, since O and O₂ are without effect. Hydroquinone is also produced presumably by nucleophilic attack of HO. Replacement of the acidic hydrogen atoms by sodium changes the product distribution in accord with these findings.     

Endohedral fullerene-noble gas clusters formed with high-energy bimolecular reactions of C (x = 60, 70; n = 1, 2, 3)

Results are reported for high-energy beam experiments which establish the formation of endohedral carbon cluster-noble gas compounds by bimolecular reactions of C (x = 60, 70; n = 1, 2, 3) with He and C with Ne. The ions were accelerated up to 8 ke V in a four-sector mass spectrometer and allowed to collide with the noble gas in a collision chamber at room temperatur. Product ions were monitored with a B/E = constant linked scan. Within the sensivity of the experiments, no carbon cluster-gas compounds were observed in the reactions of C with H₂, D₂, O₂, Ar, and SF₆, or of C with O₂. The observed fall in the cross-section for carbon cluster-noble gas compounds with increasing size of the noble gas, the observation of unimolecular loss of C₂ from mass-selected C_xHe⁺ ions, and the elimination of carbon fragments instead of He observed in the formation of the collision-induced C_xHeⁿ⁺ product ions are taken as evidence for endohedral compound formation. Results of ab initio molecular-orbital calculations for the perpendicular penetration of the plane of ionized benzene with He, Ne, and Ar indicate that sufficient kinetic energy should be available in the collisions with C to penetrate the C cage at the collision energies of the experiments.     

Conformations of the 10-membered Ring in 5, 10-Secosteroids. II. (E)-3α-Acetoxy-5, 10-seco-1 (10)-cholesten-5-one and (E)-5, 10-seco-1 (10)-cholestene-3, 5-dione

(E)-3α-Acetoxy-5, 10-seco-1(10)-cholesten-5-one ( 3 ) was synthesized by fragmentation of 3α-acetoxy-5α-cholestan-5-ol ( 1 ) using the photochemical version [3] of the lead tetraacetate reaction [4], and transformed into the corresponding 3-oxo-compound ( 5 ). Two conformations ( A and B ) were deduced for the 10-membered ring of 3 by analysis of the ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. spectra in toluene. The major conformation ( A ) corresponds to that found in the solid state by X-ray analysis. According to its NMR. spectra in toluene, the medium-sized ring of the diketone 5 exists also predominantly in two conformations, the major one being analogous to A (the solid-state conformation of the 3β-acetoxy isomer ( 9 ) [1]) and the minor one to A (see above). The stereochemistry of the acidcatalyzed and thermal cyclisations of 3 as well as of the corresponding 5-oxime is discussed in terms of conformational factors.
