The ligands and complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, EI-mass spectrometry, FT-IR, ¹H and ¹³C-{¹H}-NMR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic studies show that Schiff bases, a–e, are monodentate and coordinate via azomethine N donor to the central metal atom in M(CO)₅(Schiff base) (M?=?Cr, Mo, W).

All cationic mononuclear compounds were isolated as their hexafluorophosphate salts and characterized by elemental analyses, NMR, and IR spectroscopic methods and some representative complexes by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The solid state structures of two derivatives, [6]PF₆ and [7]PF₆, have been determined by the X-ray structure analysis.     

Syntheses,characterization of and studies on the electrochemical behaviour of ferrocenyl dithiophosphonates and 4-methoxyphenyl dithiophosphonates

Some 1,3-dithiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfides (X₂P₂S₄, X: Fc, FcLR; X: CH₃O?C₆H₄?, LR) were allowed to react with alcohols to obtain dithiophosphonic acids (X(OR)PS₂H). These were converted to the corresponding ammonium salts. The salts were of the structures [Fc(OR)PS₂]^?[NH₄]⁺, R: 3-methyl-1-butyl- for I; 1-phenyl-1-propyl- for II; 3-pentyl- for III; 3-phenyl-1-propyl- for IV and [CH₃O?C₆H₄(OR)PS₂]^?[NH₄]⁺, R: 3-methyl-1-butyl- for V and 1-phenyl-1-propyl- for VI. To the best of our knowledge, all the compounds except V were prepared for the first time.

The compounds synthesized were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P), MS, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopies. Electrochemical behaviors of I–VI at disposable pencil graphite electrode (PGE) were investigated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV). Adsorption and diffusion patterns of all the compounds on the PGE were also studied.

Two electroactive groups were identified in the compounds I–IV and only one in V and VI. The ferrocenyl groups of I-IV were oxidized at around 0.4 V. The same compounds display a second, more intense CV band at 0.8 V. The corresponding band for the compounds V–VI appears at around 0.6 V with a much weaker intensity. It is suggested that the ferrocenyl group introduced into the structures stabilizes the radical species formed as the product of the oxidation of the dithiophosphonato group.

Reactivity of titanium imidazolin-2-iminato complexes with 2,6-diisopropylaniline and 2-{(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-iminomethyl}pyrrole

Abstract

We report the reactions of imidazolin-2-iminato titanium complexes [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₃] (R = Mes, 2b; R = Dipp, 2c; Mes = mesityl, Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) with 2,6-diisopropylaniline in a 1:3 molar ratio to yield the titanium imido complexes of composition [(Im^RNH)Ti = N(^Dipp)(HN^Dipp)₂] (R = Mes, 3b; R = Dipp, 3c) in good yield by the Ti-Niminato bond cleavage at 60 °C. In contrast, the reaction of [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₃] with 2,6-diisopropylaniline in a 1:1 molar ratio afforded mono-substituted products [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₂(HN^Dipp)] (R = Mes, 4b; R = Dipp, 4c) in good yield. The reaction of [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₃] with the iminopyrrole ligand [2-(2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃-N = CH)C₄H₃NH] (N^DippPyH) in a 1:1 ratio afforded mixed ligands, titanium complexes [(Im^RN)Ti(NMe₂)₂(N^Dipp-Py)] (R = tBu, 5a; R = Dipp, 5c) with imidazolin-2-iminato and iminopyrrolide ligands. Molecular structures of 3b, 3c, 4c, 5a, and 5c were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The solid-state structures of 3b and 3c clearly indicate the formation of true Ti = N double bonds, measuring 1.730(2) Å and 1.727(1) Å, respectively. The solid-state structures of 5a and 5c reveal the formation of five-coordinate titanium complexes.

Mechanochemical Synthesis of Phosphates and Phase Transformations of Natural Apatites by Mechanical Action

Abstract

The mechanochemical method is a promising way of synthesizing new and complicate phosphorus compounds and processing phosphate rocks in order to obtain the fertilizers. Apatites with general compositional formula-Me₁₀(RO₄)₆Z₂, Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, A1³⁺; RO₄ -PO^3- ₄, Co^2- ₃, Alo^? ₂, Sio^4- ₄, So^2- ₄, Zro^4- ₄; z-F^? F^?, OH^?, cl^?, CO^2- ₃, O^? S^2-, HCOO^? and isomorphous mixtures by mechanical action in planetary mill at room temperature were synthesized. Duration of the synthesis varied from 5 min. to 30 min. The initial components for synthesis were phosphates, oxides, chemical elements (Si, S, Al, Cu, Pb, Fe) and organic compounds. The synthetic apatites are promising materials for the production of bioceramic, catalysts, ion-exchangers and laser glasses.     

Some thermophysical properties of several solid aldehydes

The present study reports a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study of the solid aldehydes: 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde [123-08-0] 1; 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin) [121-33-5] 2; 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (ethyl vanillin) [121-32-4] 3; 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (veratraldehyde) [120-14-9] 4 and 4-methoxycinnamaldehyde [1963-36-6] 5, in the temperature interval from T=268 K to their respective melting temperatures. Temperatures, enthalpies and entropies of fusion and the heat capacities of the compounds as a function of temperature are reported.     

Preferred Conformations of Stabilized Phosphorus Ylides

The stabilized phosphorus ylides, Ph₃P=C(CO.R′)CO.OR; 1, R=Et, R′=CH₂P⁺Ph₃; 2, R=R′=Me; 3, R=Et, R′=Me; 4, R=Prⁱ; R′=Me; 5, R=Bu^t; R′=Me, adopt a near planar conformation in the crystal which allows extensive electronic delocalization. The keto and alkoxylic oxygens are oriented and align favorably with the cationoid phosphorus. These conformations bring methyl hydrogens in the ester residue into proximity with the face of a phenyl group and lead to π-shielding and upfield shifts of the ¹HNMR signals of 3 over a wide temperature range (-50–95°C) in (CD₃)₂CO, CDCl₃ and DMSO_d-6. Geometries of 2 and 3, optimized by using the HF 3-21 (G^*) or 6-31 (G^*) basis sets, are very similar to those in the crystal, but semiempirical treatments generate structures in which either the ester or keto moiety is twisted out of plane.

     

VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA AND STRUCTURE OF ALKOXY AND CHLOROALKOXY DERIVATIVES OF ANTIMONY(V)

Abstract

Vibrational spectra of (CH₃O) _n SbCl_5–n . n = 1: 1; n = 2: 2: n = 3: 3: n = 4: 4; n = 5: 5; have been recorded. According to ir and Raman data 1–5 are centrosymmetrical bridged dimers. The Raman spectra of 3–5 exhibit v(Sb–O) doublets of terminal CH₃O at 530–541 and 550–570 cm^?1; vibrations of the 4-membered Sb₂O₂ ring, observed in the 500–517 cm^?1 region of the ir spectra of 1–5, are absent. The v(C–O) bands of bridged and terminal CH₃O are shifted to higher wave numbers (60 and 31 cm^?1, respectively) in the series 1 → 5. The stability of the dimers increases in the series 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 ? 5. At 100–120°C and in CH₃CN solutions dimers of 1–3 dissociate to monomers (v(Sb–O) 537–540 cm^?1, ir data). The monochloride, 4, is partially dissociated in CH₃CN. On solution of the tetrachloride, 1, in benzene a dimer-monomer equilibrium has been observed, with the dimeric form being predominant.     

19-Electron arenecyclopentadienyl complexes of ruthenium

A series of are necyc lope ntadienyl complexes,i. e., [Ru(⁵-c₅R₅)(⁶- are ne)]⁺ (1, R= H, arene = C₆H₆; 2, R = Me, arme = C₆H₆; 3, R = H, arctic = C₆H₃Me₃; 4, R = Me, arene = C₆H₃Me₃; 5, R = H, arene = C₆Me₆; 6, R = Me, arene = C₆Me₆) was studied by cyclic voltammetry. These compounds are capable of both oxidation and reduction. The reduction potential values depend on the number of methyl groups in the complex. Reduction of benzene complexes I and 2 by sodium amalgam in THF leads to the formation of decomplexation products, the addition of hydrogen to benzene, and dimerization of the benzene ligands. Both chemical and electrochemical reductions of mesitylene complexes3 and4 result in dimeric products [(⁵-C₅R₅)Ru(-⁵;⁵-Me₃H₃C₆H₃Me₃)Ru(⁵-C₅R₅)] (14, R = H; 15, R = Me). The action of sodium amalgam on compound5 gives products of hydrogen addition to both hexamethylbenzene (17) and cyclopentadienyl (18) ligands along with the major product, the dimer [⁵-C₅H₅)Ru(-⁵; ⁵-Me₆C₆C₆Me₆)Ru(⁵-C₅H₅)] (16). In contrast to5, its permcthylated analog 6 is only capable of adding hydrogen to the hexamethylbenzene ligand.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Chemie polyfunktioneller Moleküle, 121. Mitt. Cyclopentadienylruthenium(II)-Komplexe desBis(diphenylphosphanyl)amins und -amids sowie des N,N-Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)-methylamins und -ethylamins

Summary This synthetic and structural work describes a series of half-sandwich cyclopentadienylruthenium(II) complexes containing the diphosphazane ligands [(C₆H₅)₂P]₂NR (R=H:Hdppa,1a;R=CH₃:dppma,1b;R=C₂H₅:dppea,1c;R=Li:Lidppa,1d). Treatment of1a, d with CpRuCl(PPh₃)₂ (Cp=⁵-C₅H₅, Ph=C₆H₅,2) in a molar ratio of 1:1 in boiling aromatic hydrocarbons affords the neutral complexes CpRuCl(Hdppa) (3) and CpRu(dppa)PPh₃ (6). The ionic complexes [CpRu(Ph₂P-NR-(PPh₂)PPh₃)Cl (R=CH₃:4a;R=C₂H₅:4b) are formed by the reaction of1b,c with2. One pot reactions of1a–c with2 in the presence of NH₄PF₆ in boiling CH₃OH give only the ionic compounds [CpRu(Ph₂P-NR-PPh₂)(PPh₃)]PF₆ (R=H, CH₃, C₂H₅;5a–c). The sulfur dioxide and hydride complexes [CpRu(Hdppa)¹-SO₂]Cl (7) and CpRu(H)Hdppa (8) are obtained by the interaction of3 with SO₂ or NaOCH₃. All compounds are characterized as far as possible by IR, Raman,³¹P{¹H} NMR,¹H NMR,¹³C{¹H} NMR, FD mass spectra, and their conductivity in CH₂Cl₂ solution. The X-ray crystal structures of3 and5a reveal that the P(1)-N(1)-P(2) angle of the coordinated ligand1a in both complexes is reduced to about 100° in comparison to free uncoordinated1a (119°). This small angle leads to a short P(1)–P(2) bond distance of 259.4 pm in3 and 254.3 pm in5a. The molecules of3 are connected by intermolecular (NH...Cl) hydrogen bridging bonds forming chains along thez axis of the unit cell. The crystals of5a contain two independent pairs of ions in the unit cell (Z=8). In5a no hydrogen bonds exist between the NH-groups and the PF ₆ ^– anions.

     

Volatile iridium(I) complexes with β-diketones and cyclooctadiene: syntheses,structures and thermal properties

A series of volatile mixed-ligand iridium(I) complexes [Ir(cod)(L)] (cod = cyclooctadiene-1,5, L = R¹C(O)CHC(O)R², R¹ = CF₃, R² = CF₃ – hfac 1, Me – tfac 2; ^tBu – ptac 3, Ph – btfac 4, R¹ = R² = Me – acac 5; ^tBu – thd 6) was synthesized and investigated in terms of usage in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition processes. Compounds 3 and 4 were obtained for the first time. All compounds were investigated by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and mass spectrometry. Crystal structures of 2–4 and 6 were determined by single-crystal XRD. The influence of β-diketonate ligand on the thermal properties of complexes in condensed and gas phase was revealed. The following volatility order was arranged: L = hfac 1 > tfac 2 ≈ ptac 3 > acac 5 > thd 6 > btfac 4. Complexes 1 and 6 vapors demonstrated the lowest and the highest thermostability, respectively.     

Synthesis of a Calix[4]crown‐6 Cone Conformer‐Based Oligomer and its Metal Cation Extraction Abilities

A new calixcrown‐6 oligomer 5 was synthesized by reacting a 1,3‐distal di‐amino derivative of cone p‐tert‐butylcalix[4]crown‐6 with malonyl dichloride. Extraction studies with precursor monomers 2 and 3 and oligomer 5 showed differences in their metal cation extraction behavior and selectivity. Precursors monomers 2 and 3 were selective for Hg²⁺; whereas, oligomer 5 showed high affinity towards both alkali (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, and Cs⁺) and heavy metal cations (Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺).     

Metal derivatives of thiosemicarbazones: crystal structure of [chloro bis(triphenylphosphino) (thiophene-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone) copper(I)] complex

Reactions of copper(I) halides (X = Cl, Br, I) with thiophene-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone and triphenylphosphine in 1 : 1 : 2 molar ratio yield tetrahedral mononuclear complexes, [CuX(η¹-S-Httsc)(Ph₃P)₂] (X = Cl, 1; Br, 2; I, 3), characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P), and single crystal X-ray crystallography (1).

Exploiting Complementary Second-sphere Effects in Supramolecular Coordination Solids

In the design of extended supramolecular solids, reliable synthons are a valuable commodity. This work concerns the complementary second-sphere coordination interactions between a highly preorganized hexasulphonated ligand, L, and aquated metal ions. Four second-sphere inclusion complexes [M(H²O)⁶]² L ·(S)³ (M/S: Mg/acetone, 1; Zn/acetone, 2, Mg/dioxane, 3; Zn/dioxane, 4) and three extended networks {[(M(H²O)³)²(L)]·(H²O)^14.5}^∞ (M=Cr, 5; Fe, 6; Al, 7) have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The second-sphere effects on the stabilization of the primary coordination sphere are illustrated by TGA experiments. In these assemblies, the potential of a new supramolecular synthon is illustrated, that being the complementary hydrogen-bonding interaction between cis-aquo ligands and sulphonate oxygen atoms.     

A new 5-alkylresorcinol glucoside derivative from Cybianthus magnus

One new 5-alkylresorcinol glucoside (1) was isolated from leaves of Cybianthus magnus, along with 12 known compounds, isolated from four plants belonging to Myrsinaceae family (2, 3 isolated from C. magnus; 4–7, 10 and 11 isolated from Myrsine latifolia; 4, 8 and 9 isolated from Myrsine sessiflora; 6, 7, 10, 12 and 13 isolated from Myrsine congesta). Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and by comparison of their spectral data with those reported in the literature. So far, only nine 5-alkylresorcinol glucosides were isolated from leaves of Grevillea robusta. Since resorcinols are known to exhibit strong cytotoxic activity, compounds 1 and 2 were tested against cell lines 3T3, H460, DU145 and MCF-7 for cytotoxicity in vitro and compounds 3–13 were tested for their antileishmanial activity. Compound 2 displayed a strong cytotoxic activity with IC₅₀ values ranging between 22 and 100 μM for all tested cell lines. Compounds 3–13 were not active against Leishmania amazonensis amastigotes.
