Investigation of the Reaction of Gold(III) with 2‐[2‐(4‐Dimethylamino‐Phenyl)‐Vinyl]‐1,3,3‐Trimethyl‐3H‐Indolium. Application for Determination of Gold

A new, simple, rapid, sensitive, efficient and low‐cost spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of gold was developed. The method is based on the reaction of [AuCl₄]^? with 2‐[2‐(4‐dimethylaminophenyl)‐vinyl]‐1,3,3‐trimethyl‐3H‐indolium reagent to form a colored ion associate extractable by various organic solvents. The molar absorptivity of the ion associates is in the range (5.7–9.2) × 10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?1 depending on the extractant. Butyl acetate was chosen as the extractant. The optimum reaction conditions were established: pH 2–4, concentration of the dye reagent (0.8–1.5) × 10^?4 mol L^?1. The determination of gold is not hindered even by a 1000‐fold concentration of Ni and Co; a 500‐fold concentration of Pb and Zn; a 100‐fold concentration of Bi, Cu, Cd, Pt, Rh and Ru; or a 20‐fold concentration of Ag. The established method was applied to the determination of gold in model samples and enriched polymetallic ores.

A three‐dimensional zinc‐based coordination polymer built from 5‐carboxylato‐1‐carboxylatomethyl‐2‐oxidopyridinium with a 4‐connected sra topology

A novel three‐dimensional Zn^II complex, poly[aqua(μ₄‐5‐carboxylato‐1‐carboxylatomethyl‐2‐oxidopyridinium)zinc(II)], [Zn(C₈H₅NO₄)(H₂O)]_n, has been prepared by hydrothermal assembly of Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O and 5‐carboxy‐1‐(carboxymethyl)pyridin‐1‐ium‐2‐olate (H₂ccop). The ccop²⁻ anions bridge the Zn^II cations in a head‐to‐tail fashion via monodentate aromatic carboxylate and phenolate O atoms to form an extended zigzag chain which runs parallel to the [011] direction. One O atom of the aliphatic carboxylate group of the ccop²⁻ ligand coordinates to the Zn^II atom of a neighbouring chain thereby producing undulating layers which lie parallel to the (01) plane. A similar parallel undulating planar structure can be obtained if a path involving the other O atom of the aliphatic carboxylate group is considered. Thus, the aliphatic carboxylate group acts in a bridging bidentate mode to give extended –Zn–O–C–O–Zn– sequences running parallel to [001] which link the layers into an overall three‐dimensional framework. The three‐dimensional framework can be simplified as a 4‐connected sra topology with a Schläfli symbol of 4².6³.8 if all the Zn^II centres and ccop²⁻ anions are regarded as tetrahedral 4‐connected nodes. The three‐dimensional luminescence spectrum was measured at room temperature with excitation and emission wavelengths of 344–354 and 360–630 nm, respectively, at intervals of 0.15 and 2 nm, respectively.

Synthesis and characterization of bis[2‐(arylimino)‐1,3‐thiazolidin‐4‐ones] are described. The one‐pot, pseudo‐five‐component reaction of an aliphatic diamine, isothiocyanatobenzene, and dialkyl but‐2‐ynedioate at room temperature in anhydrous CH₂Cl₂ gives the title compound in relatively high yield. Under the same conditions, aromatic 1,2‐diamines yield 2‐(arylimino)‐N‐(enaminoaryl)‐1,3‐thiazolidin‐4‐ones in a pseudo‐four‐component reaction. Their structures were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this type of cyclization is proposed (Scheme 3).

2,3‐Dihydro‐4H‐thiopyrano[2,3‐b]pyridin‐4‐ones 4 were prepared by a three‐step sequence from commercially available 2‐chloropyridine ( 1 ). Thus, successive treatment of 1 with ⁱPr₂NLi (LDA) and α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes gave 1‐(2‐chloropyridin‐3‐yl)alk‐2‐en‐1‐ols 2 , which were oxidized with MnO₂ to 1‐(2‐chloropyridin‐3‐yl)alk‐2‐en‐1‐ones 3 . The reactions of 3 with NaSH?n H₂O proceeded smoothly at 0° in DMF to provide the desired thiopyranopyridinones.

The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Furthermore, preliminary bioassay of some of the title compounds indicated that they exhibited moderate inhibition against HIV‐1 PR.     

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐dien‐ und 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl‐Komplexe des Rhodiums und Iridiums

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene and 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl Complexes of Rhodium and Iridium The complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)RhCl]₂ ( 1 ) (C₇H₁₂ = 2, 4‐dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene) and [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)₂IrCl] ( 2 ) were obtained by interaction of C₇H₁₂ with [(η²‐C₂H₄)₂RhCl]₂ and [(η²‐cyclooctene)₂IrCl]₂, respectively. The reaction of 1 or 2 with CpTl (Cp = η⁵‐C₅H₅) yields the compounds [CpM(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)] ( 3a : M = Rh; 3b : M = Ir). The hydride abstraction at the pentadiene ligand of 3a , b with Ph₃CBF₄ proceeds differently depending on the solvent. In acetone or THF the “half‐open” metallocenium complexes [CpM(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)]BF₄ ( 4a : M = Rh; 4b : M = Ir) are obtained exclusively. In dichloromethane mixtures are produced which additionally contain the species [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)M(η⁵‐C₅H₄CPh₃)]BF₄ ( 5a : M = Rh; 5b : M = Ir) formed by electrophilic substitution at the Cp ring, as well as the η³‐2, 4‐dimethylpentenyl compound [(η³‐C₇H₁₃)Rh{η⁵‐C₅H₃(CPh₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 6 ). By interaction of 2, 4‐dimethylpentadienyl potassium with 1 or 2 the complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)M(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)] ( 7a : M = Rh; 7b : M = Ir) are generated which show dynamic behaviour in solution; however, attempts to synthesize the “open” metallocenium cations [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)₂M]⁺ by hydride abstraction from 7a , b failed. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopically, 4b and 5a also by X‐ray structure analysis.
