Synthesis,characterization and cytotoxicity of some triarylbismuth(V) di(N‐p‐toluenesulfonyl) aminoacetates and the crystal structure of (4‐CH3C6H4SO2NHCH2CO2)2Bi(C6H4Cl‐4)3

A series of triarylbismuth(V) di(N‐p‐toluenesulfonyl)aminoacetates with the formula (4‐CH₃C₆H₄SO₂NHCH₂CO₂)₂BiAr₃ (Ar?C₆H₅, 4‐CH₃C₆H₄, 4‐ClC₆H₄, 4‐BrC₆H₄) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectra. The crystal structure of (4‐CH₃C₆H₄SO₂NHCH₂CO₂)₂Bi(C₆H₄Cl‐4)₃ was determined and shows the bismuth to exist in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Four human neoplastic cell lines (HL‐60, PC‐3MIE8, BGC‐823 and MDA‐MB‐435) were used to screen these compounds. The results indicate that these compounds at 10 μM show cytotoxicity.

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

Reactions of Cyclohexyl Isocyanide with η5‐Substituted Cyclo‐pentadienyl MoMo Triply Bonded Complexes. Crystal Structure of [Mo(CO)2(η5‐C5H4CO2CH3)]2(μ‐η2‐CNC6H11)

Reactions of one or two equiv. of cyclohexyl isocyanide in THF at room temperature with Mo?Mo triply bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) gave the isocyanide coordinated Mo? Mo singly bonded complexes with functionally substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands, [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂(μ‐η²‐CNC₆H₁₁) ( 1a , R=COCH₃; 1b , R=CO₂CH₃) and [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)(CNC₆H₁₁)]₂ ( 2a , R=COCH₃; 2b , R=CO₂CH₃), respectively. Complexes 1a , 1b and 2a , 2b could be more conveniently prepared by thermal decarbonylation of Mo? Mo singly bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) in toluene at reflux, followed by treatment of the resulting Mo?Mo triply bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) in situ with cyclohexyl isocyanide. While 1a , 1b and 2a , 2b were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy, 1b was further characterized by X‐ray crystallography.     

2J(P,C) and 3J(P,C) Coupling Constants in Some New Phosphoramidates. Crystal Structures of CF3C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)]2 and 4‐NO2‐C6H4N(H)P(O)[4‐CH3‐NC5H9]2

Some new phosphoramidates were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of CF₃C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH₃)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂ ( 1 ) and 4‐NO₂‐C₆H₄N(H)P(O)[4‐CH₃‐NC₅H₉]₂ ( 6 ) were confirmed by X‐ray single crystal determination. Compound 1 forms a centrosymmetric dimer and compound 6 forms a polymeric zigzag chain, both via ‐N‐H…O=P‐ intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Also, weak C‐H…F and C‐H…O hydrogen bonds were observed in compounds 1 and 6 , respectively. ¹³C NMR spectra were used for study of ²J(P,C) and ³J(P,C) coupling constants that were showed in the molecules containing N(C₂H₅)₂ and N(C₂H₅)(CH₂C₆H₅) moieties, ²J(P,C)>³J(P,C). A contrast result was obtained for the compounds involving a five‐membered ring aliphatic amine group, NC₄H₈. ²J(P,C) for N(C₂H₅)₂ moiety and in NC₄H₈ are nearly the same, but ³J(P, C) values are larger than those in molecules with a pyrrolidinyl ring. This comparison was done for compounds with six and seven‐membered ring amine groups. In compounds with formula XP(O)[N(CH₂R)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂, ²J(P,CH₂)_benzylic>²J(P,CH₂)_aliphatic, in an agreement with our previous study.     

The synthesis,NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) and IR spectral studies of some di‐ and tri‐organotin(IV) sulfonates: X‐ray crystal structure of [(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OSO2C6H4CH3‐4)2·2H2O]

A number of alkyltin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, R_nSn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)_4?n (n = 2, 3; R = C₂H₅, n‐C₃H₇, n‐C₄H₉), have been prepared and IR spectra and solution NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) are reported for these compounds, including (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), the NMR spectra of which have not been reported previously. From the chemical shift δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere in solutions of these compounds is suggested. IR spectra of the compounds are very similar to that observed for the paratoluenesulfonate anion in its sodium salt. The studies indicate that diorganotin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, and the previously reported compounds (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), contain bridging SO₃X groups that yield polymeric structures with hexacoordination around tin and contain non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. In triorganotin(IV) sulfonates, pentacoordination for tin with a planar SnC₃ skeleton and bidentate bridging paratoluenesulfonate anionic groups are suggested by IR and NMR spectral studies. The X‐ray structure shows [(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)₂·2H₂O] to be monomeric containing six‐coordinate tin and crystallizes from methanol–chloroform in monoclinic space group C2/c. The Sn? O (paratoluenesulfonate) bond distance (2.26(2) Å) is indicative of a relatively high degree of ionic character in the metal–anion bonds. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A tetranuclear copper‐calcium complex of pyridinioacetate (C₅H₅N⁺CH₂CO₂^—), namely [Cu₂Ca₂(C₅H₅NCH₂CO₂)(H₂O)₃](ClO₄)₈·H₂O was synthesized and characterized by X‐ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in triclinic, P1¯ (No. 2), a = 15.658(2), b = 18.260(2), c = 18.456(2)Å, α = 91.552(2), β = 94.004(3), γ = 104.928(2)°, V = 5081(1)ų, Z = 2. In the crystal structure, a square‐planar [Cu(C₅H₅NCH₂CO₂)₄]²⁺ entity uses three of its four carboxylate groups to chelate to a calcium atom forming a [CuCa(C₅H₅NCH₂CO₂)₄]⁴⁺ dinuclear subunit, and a pair of such dinuclear subunits are linked by the two remaining pyridinioacetate ligands through the calcium atoms to furnish a tetranuclear [Cu₂Ca₂ (C₅H₅NCH₂CO₂)₁₀(H₂O)₃]⁸⁺ cation.     

Darstellung von Tetracarbonyl-triphenylphosphinmanganorganoplumbanen R4−nPb[Mn(CO)4P(C6H5)3]n (RCH3, C6H5; n = 1,2)

Preparation of R_4?nPb[Mn(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]_n Compounds (R?CH₃, C₆H₅; n = 1, 2) As the first examples of organolead manganese carbonyls substituted in the manganese carbonyl ligand compounds of the type R_4?nPb[Mn(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]_n (R?CH₃, C₆H₅; n = 1, 2) have been prepared by the alkali salt method from R_4?nPbCl_n and NaMn(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃. (C₆H₅)₂Sn[Mn(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ has been gained by the same method and also by thermal ligand exchange. According the IR data the ligand P(C₆H₅)₃ is trans to the tetrahedrally surrounded lead. In solution to compounds are monomeric.     

Reaction of (η5‐C5H5)Fe(CO)2I with Anionic Bidentate Phosphine Ligands PPh2(o‐C6H4NHLi) or PPh2(o‐C6H4OLi)

The o‐substituted hybrid phenylphosphines, PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄NH₂) and PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄OH), could be deprotonated with LDA or n‐BuLi to yield PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄NHLi) and PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄OLi), respectively. When added to a solution of (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂I at room temperature, these two lithiated reagents produce a chelated neutral complex 1 (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)[C(O)NH(o‐C₆H₄)PPh₂‐C,P‐η²] for the former and mainly a zwitterionic complex 2 , (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe⁺(CO)₂[PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄O^?)] for the latter. Complex 1 could easily be protonated and then decarbonylated to give 4 [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO){NH₂(o‐C₆H₄)PPh₂‐N,P‐η²}⁺]. Complexes 1 and 4‐I have been crystallographically characterized with X‐ray diffraction.

Reactions of (C₆H₅) ₂SeBr₂ and (C₆H₅) ₃SeCl with silver salts of acids are investigated. From (C₆H₅) ₂SeBr₃ and AgY (Y = N0₃, CH₃CO₃, CF₃CO₂, 1/2 SO₄, CH₃SO₃, NCO) the compounds (C₆H₅) ₂Se(NO₃) ₂ (C₆H₅) ₂Se(CH₃CO₂) ₂, (C₆H_s) ₂Se(CF₃CO₂) ₂, (C₆H₅) ₂SeSO₄, (C₆H₅) ₂Se(CH₃SO₃) ₂ and (C₆H₅) ₂Se(NCO) ₂ are prepared. They are characterized by solubility, molecular weight and conductivity. Reaction of (C₆H₅) ₃SeCl and AgX (X = NO₃, CH₃CO₂) yields (C₆H₅) ₃SeNO₃ and (C₆H₅) ₃SeCH₃CO₂.     

Triorganoantimon- und Triorganobismutderivate von 2-Pyridincarbonsäure und 2-Pyridylessigsäure Kristall- und Molekülstrukturen von (C6H5)3Sb(O2C-2-C5H4N)2 und (CH3)3Sb(O2CCH2-2-C5H4N)2

Triorganoantimony and Triorganobismuth Derivatives of 2-Pyridinecarboxylic Acid and 2-Pyridylacetic Acid. Crystal and Molecular Structures of (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C-2-C₅H₄N)₂ and (CH₃)₃Sb(O₂CCH₂-2-C₅H₄N)₂ Triorganoantimony and triorganobismuth dicarboxylates R₃M(O₂C-2-C₅H₄N)₂ (M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄) and (CH₃)₃Sb(O₂CCH₂-2-C₅H₄N)₂ have been prepared from (CH₃)₃Sb(OH)₂, R₃SbO (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄), or R₃BiCO₃ (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄) and the appropriate heterocyclic carboxylic acid. Vibrational spectroscopic data indicate a trigonal bipyramidal environment of M the O(? C)-atoms of the carboxylate ligands being in the apical and three C atoms (of R) in the equatorial positions; in addition coordinative interaction occurs in the 2-pyridinecarboxylates between M and O(?C) of one and N of the other carboxylate ligand and in (CH₃)₃)Sb(O₂CCH₂-2-C₅H₄N)₂ between Sb and O(?C) of both carboxylate ligands. (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C-2-C₅H₄N)₂/(CH₃)₃Sb(O₂CCH₂-2-C₅H₄N)₂ crystallize monoclinic [space group P2₁/c/P2₁/n; a = 892.6(9)/1043.4(6), b = 1326.9(6)/3166.2(18), c = 2233.1(9)/1147.5(7) pm, β = 99.74(8)°/97.67(5)° Z = 4/8; d(calc.) = 1.522/1.553 × Mg m^?3; V_cell = 2606.7 × 10⁶/3757.0 × 10⁶pm³, structure determination from 3798/4965 independent reflexions (F ≥ 4.0 σ(F))/(I ≥ 1.96 σ(I), R(unweighted) = 0.024/0.036]. Sb is bonding to three C₆H₅/CH₃ groups in the equatorial plane [mean distances Sb? C: 212.2(3)/208.7(6) pm] and two carboxylate ligands via O in the apical positions [Sb? O distances: 218.5(2), 209.9(2)/212.1(3), 213.2(3) pm]. In (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C-2-C₅H₄N)₂ there is a short Sb? O(?C) and a short Sb? N contact [Sb? O: 272.1(2), Sb? N: 260.2(2) pm] and distoritions of the equatorial angles [C? Sb? C: 99.2(1)°, 158.2(1)°, 102.0(1).] and of the axial angle [O? Sb?

C: 114.5(2)°, 132.4(3)° 113.1(2)°, and 123.9(3)° 115.5(2)°, 120.6(3)°, respectively] and of the axial angles [O? Sb? O: 174,9(1)°, 177.9(1)°, respectively].     

Transition-metal mediated heteroatom removal by reactions of FeL+ [L=O,C4H6, c-C5H6, c-C5H5, C6H6, C5H4(=CH2)] with furan,thiophene, and pyrrole in the gas phase

Reactions of Fe⁺ and FeL⁺ [L=O, C₄H₆, c-C₅H₆, C₅H₅, C₆H₆, C₅H₄(=CH₂)] with thiophene, furan, and pyrrole in the gas phase by using Fourier transform mass spectrometry are described. Fe⁺, Fe(C₅H₅)⁺, and FeC₆H ₆ ⁺ yield exclusive rapid adduct formation with thiophene, furan, and pyrrole. In addition, the iron-diene complexes [FeC₄H ₆ ⁺ and Fe(c-C₅H₆)⁺], as well as FeC₅H₄(=CH₂)⁺ and FeO⁺, are quite reactive. The most intriguing reaction is the predominant direct extrusion of CO from furan by FeC₄H₆ ⁺, Fe(c-C₅H₆)⁺, and FeC₅H₄(=CH₂)⁺. In addition, FeC₄H ₆ ⁺ and Fe(c-C₅H₆)⁺ cause minor amounts of HCN extrusion from pyrrole. Mechanisms are presented for these CO and HCN extrusion reactions. The absence of CS elimination from thiophene may be due to the higher energy requirements than those for CO extrusion from furan or HCN extrusion from pyrrole. The dominant reaction channel for reaction of Fe(c-C₅H₆)⁺ with pyrrole and thiophene is hydrogen-atom displacement, which implies D^O(Fa(N₅H₅)⁺-C₄H₄X)>D^O(Fe(C₅H₅)⁺-H)=46±5 kcal mol^?1. D^O(Fe⁺-C₄H₄S) and D^O(Fe⁺-C₄H₅N)=D^O(Fe⁺-C₄H₆)=48±5 kcal mol^?1. Finally, 55±5 kcal mol^?1=D^O(Fe⁺-C₆H₆)>D^O(Fe⁺-C₄H₄O)>D^O(Fe⁺-C₂H₄)=39.9±1.4 kcal mol^?1. FeO⁺ reacts rapidly with thiophene, furan, and pyrrole to yield initial loss of CO followed by additional neutral losses. D^O(Fe⁺-CS)>D^O(Fe⁺-C₄H₄S)≈48±5 kcal mol^?1 and D^O(Fe⁺-C₄H₅N)≈48±5 kcal mol^?1>D^O(Fe⁺-HCN)>D^O(Fe⁺-C₂H₄)=39.9±1.4 kcal mil^?1.     

Replacement of Trimethylamine in Trimethylamine‐trispentafluoroethyl‐borane. Structures of [(C2F5)3BNMe3], [NMe4][(C2F5)3BOH], and K[(C2F5)3BCH2(CO)C6H5]

Trimethylamine‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borane [(C₂F₅)₃BNMe₃] ( 1 ) reacts at 190 °C with water under displacement of the trimethylamine ligand to yield the hydroxy‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borate [(C₂F₅)₃BOH]^? ( 2 ). In tributylamine 1 reacts with alkynes HC≡CR to form novel ethynyl‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borate anions [(C₂F₅)₃BC≡CR]^? – R = C₆H₅ ( 3 ), C₆H₄CH₃ ( 4 ), Si(CH(CH₃)₂)₃ ( 5 ) – in moderate yields. Compound 3 adds water across the triple bond to form the novel anion [(C₂F₅)₃BCH₂(CO)C₆H₅]^? ( 6 ). The structures of [(C₂F₅)₃BNMe₃], [NMe₄][(C₂F₅)₃BOH] and K[(C₂F₅)₃BCH₂(CO)C₆H₅] have been determined by x‐ray crystallography.

Inhaltsübersicht. Triorganoantimon- und Triorganobismutdicarboxylate R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)ⁿ-2-C₄H₃X]₂ (M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄; n = 0, X = O, S, NH, NCH₃. M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅; n = 1, X = O, S. M = Sb, R = C₆H₁₁, n = 1, X = S; R = 4-FC₆H₄, n = 0, X = O, S, NCH₃; R = 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂, n = 0, X = O, S, NH) wurden durch Reaktionen von R₃Sb(OH)₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂), R₃SbO (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, 4-FC₆H₄) bzw. R₃BiCO₃ mit den entsprechenden fünfgliedrigen heterocyclischen Carbonsäuren 2-C₄H₃X(CH₂)_nCOOH dargestellt. Auf der Basis schwingungsspektroskopischer Daten wird für alle Verbindungen eine trigonal bipyramidale Umgebung vom M (zwei O-Atome von einzähnigen Carboxylatliganden in den apikalen, drei C-Atome von R in den äquatorialen Positionen) vorgeschlagen, ferner eine schwache Wechselwirkung zwischen O(=C) jeder Carboxylatgruppe und M. Die Kristallstrukturbestimmung von (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₃ stützt diesen Vorschlag. Die Verbindung kristallisiert triklin [Raumgruppe P$1; a = 891,8(14), b = 1058,2(12), c = 1435,6(9) pm, α = 68,53(8), β = 85,47(9), γ = 85,99(11)°; Z = 2; d(ber.) = 1,607 Mg m^–3; V(Zelle) = 1255,6 ų; Strukturbestimmung anhand von 3947 unabhängigen Reflexen (F_o > 3σ(F²_o)), R(ungewichtet) = 0,037]. Sb bindet drei C₆H₅-Gruppen in der äquatorialen Ebene [mittlerer Abstand Sb–C: 211,1(5)pm] und zwei einzähnige Carboxylatliganden in den apikalen Positionen einer verzerrten trigonalen Bipyramide [mittlerer Abstand Sb–O: 212,0(4) pm]. Aus den relativ kurzen Sb – O(=C)-Abständen [274,4(4) und 294,9(4) pm] und aus der Aufweitung des dem O(=C)-Atom nächsten äquatorialen C–Sb–C-Winkels auf 145,9(2)° [andere C-Sb-C-Winkel: 104,4(2), 109,5(2)°] wird auf schwache Sb–O(=C)-Koordination geschlossen. Schließlich wird eine Korrelation zwischen dem (+, –)I-Effekt des Organoliganden R an M (M = Sb, Bi) und der Stärke der M–O(=C)-Koordination in den Dicarboxylaten R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)_n–2-C₄H₃X]₂ vorgeschlagen. Triorganoanümony and Triorganobismuth Derivatives of Carbonic Acids of Five-membered Heterocycles. Crystal and Molecular Structure of (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₂ Triorganoantimony- and triorganobismuth dicarboxylates R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)_n–2-C₄H₃X]₂ (M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄; n = 0, X = O, S, NH, NCH₃. M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅; n = 1, X = O, S. M = Sb, R = C₆H₁₁, n = 1, X = S; R = 4-FC₆H₄, n = 0, X = O, S, NCH₃; R = 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂, n = 0, X = O, S, NH) have been prepared by reaction of R₃Sb(OH)₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁; 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂), R₃SbO (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, 4-FC₆H₄) or R₃BiCO₃ with the appropriate five-membered heterocyclic carboxylic acid. From vibrational data for all compounds a trigonal bipyramidal environment around M (two O atoms of unidendate carboxylate ligands in apical, three C atoms (of R) in equatorial positions) is proposed and also an additional weak interaction of O(=C) of each carboxylate group and M. The crystal structure determination of Ph₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₂ gives additional prove to this proposal. It crystallizes triclinic [space group P$1; a = 891.8(14), b = 1058.2(12), c = 1435.6(9) pm, α = 68.53(8), β = 85.47(9), γ = 85.99(11)°; Z = 2; d(calc.) = 1.607 Mg m^–3; V_cell = 1255.6 ų; structure determination from 3 947 independent reflexions (F_o > 3σ(F²_o)), R(unweighted) = 0.037]. Sb is bonding to three C₆H₅ groups in the equatorial plane [mean distance Sb–C: 211.1(5) pm] and two unidentate carboxylate ligands in the apical positions of a distorted trigonal bipyramid [mean distance Sb–O: 212.0(4) pm]. From the relatively short Sb–O(=C) distances [274.4(4) and 294.9(4) pm] and from the enlarged value of the equatorial C–Sb–C angle next to the O(=C) atom [145.9(2)°; other C–Sb–C angles: 104.4(2), 109.5(2)°] additional weak Sb–O(=C) coordination is inferred. Finally a correlation between the (+, –) I-effect of the organic ligands It at M and the strength of the M–O = C interaction is suggested.     

Hydrolysis and chemical speciation of (C2H5)2Sn2+, (C2H5)3Sn+ and (C3H7)3Sn+ in aqueous media simulating the major composition of natural waters

The hydrolysis of (C₂H₅)₂Sn²⁺, (C₂H₅)₃Sn⁺ and (n‐C₃H₇)₃Sn⁺ has been studied, by potentiometric measurements ([H⁺]‐glass electrode), in NaNO₃, NaCl, NaCl/Na₂SO₄ mixtures and in a synthetic seawater (SSWE), as an ionic medium simulating the major composition of natural seawater, at different ionic strengths (0 ≤ I ≤ 5 mol dm^?3) and salinities (15 ≤ S ≤ 45), and at t = 25 °C. Five hydrolytic species for (C₂H₅)₂Sn²⁺, three for (C₂H₅)₃Sn⁺ and two for (C₃H₇)₃Sn⁺ are found. Interactions with the anion components of SSWE, considered as single‐salt seawater, are determined by means of a complex formation model. A predictive equation for the calculation of unknown hydrolysis constants of trialkyltin(IV) cations, such as tributyltin(IV), in NaNO₃, NaCl, and SSWE media at different ionic strengths is proposed. Equilibrium constants obtained are also used to determine the interaction parameters of Pitzer equations. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Two New Modifications of [P(C6H5)4]2[Cu2I4]

Supramolecular Assemblies of Mononuclear and Polymeric Nickel(II) Glutarato Complexes via π‐π Stacking Interactions and Hydrogen Bonds: [Ni(H2O)3(phen)(C5H6O4)] · H2O and [Ni(H2O)2(phen)(C5H6O4)]

Syntheses of the sky blue complex compounds [Ni(H₂O)₃(phen)(C₅H₆O₄)] · H₂O ( 1 ) and [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₅H₆O₄)] ( 2 ) were carried out by the reactions of 1,10‐phenanthroline monohydrate, glutaric acid, NiSO₄ · 6 H₂O and Na₂CO₃ in CH₃OH/H₂O at pH = 6.9 and 7.5, respectively. The crystal structure of 1 (P 1 (no. 2), a = 14.289 Å, b = 15.182 Å, c = 15.913 Å, α = 67.108°, β = 87.27°, γ = 68.216°, V = 2934.2 ų, Z = 2) consists of hydrogen bonded [Ni(H₂O)₃‐ (phen)(C₅H₆O₄)]₂ dimers and H₂O molecules. The Ni atoms are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand, three water O atoms and one carboxyl O atom from one monodentate glutarato ligand (d(Ni–N) = 2.086, 2.090 Å; d(Ni–O) = 2.064–2.079 Å). Through the π‐π stacking interactions and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the dimers are assembled to form 2 D layers parallel to (0 1 1). The crystal structure of 2 (P2₁/n (no. 14), a = 7.574 Å, b = 11.938 Å, c = 18.817 Å, β = 98.48°, V = 1682.8 ų, Z = 4) contains [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₅H₆O₄)_2/2] supramolecular chains extending along [010]. The Ni atoms are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand, two water O atoms and two carboxyl O atoms from different bis‐monodentate glutarato ligands with d(Ni–N) = 2.082, 2.105 Å and d(Ni–O) = 2.059–2.087 Å. The supramolecular chains are assembled into a 3 D network by π‐π stacking interactions and interchain hydrogen bonds. A TG/DTA of 2 shows two endothermic effects at 132 °C and 390 °C corresponding to the complete dehydration and the lost of phen.
