The Molecular Structure and NMR Properties of P-Phosphinoylmethyl Aminophosphonium Salts

The molecular structures of two aminophosphonium salts (bromide and tetrafluoroborate) have been determined by X-ray analysis. They have similar conformations and hydrogen bond (HB) networks: the N–H acid proton is bonded to the anion and, in the case of the fluoroborate, to the oxygen atom of the phosphine oxide, forming a pseudo six-membered ring closed by a weak N–HO intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB). These compounds have been studied by multinuclear NMR in solution, including the ¹⁵N-labeled derivatives, to determine a complete set of coupling constants. A coupling of 1.5 Hz between the ¹⁵N and the ³¹P nuclei, separated by three bonds, was observed experimentally for the bromide in CDCl₃ solution, which appears to be a classical ³ J _N-P across the covalent bonds and not a ^3h J _N-P across the IMHB.     

Structure and spectra of 1,3,2-dioxaphospholenes. 1. Microwave spectra of 2-chloro-4,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospholene and its isotopomers in the ground and excited vibrational states

The microwave spectrum of 2-chloro-4,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospholene (1) was studied in the frequency range from 7 to 53 GHz. Rotational transitions of the parent molecule in the ground and eleven excited vibrational states and those of its mono-substituted ³⁷Cl, ¹³C_Me, and ¹³C_Cycle isotopomers in the ground vibrational state were identified. Rotational constants and partial r _s-structure were obtained. The quartic centrifugal distortion constants, dipole moment components _a = 3.8D and _c = 0.24D (the total dipole moment is 3.81D), and the ³⁵Cl quadrupole coupling constants were determined for the parent molecule. The fine structure of the microwave transitions in the parent molecule was analyzed under the assumption of noninteracting methyl groups. The height of the barrier to internal rotation (V ₃₀ = V ₀₃ = 665 cm^–1) and the frequency of torsional vibrations ( = 167 cm^–1) were found. The frequencies of two lowest vibrational modes corresponding to deformation vibrations of the five-membered ring were estimated (100 cm^–1) from the relative intensities of rotational transitions for different vibrational states.     

Kinetic Studies on the Reaction of Sodium Hexacyanoferrate（ll） Complex with Peroxydisulfate Anion

The oxidation of Na₄Fe(CN)₆ complex by S₂O anion was found to follow an outer‐sphere electron transfer mechanism. We firstly carried out the reaction at pH=1. The specific rate constants of the reaction, k_ox, are (8.1±0.07)×10^?2 and (4.3±0.1)×10^?2 mol^?1·L·s^?1 at μ=1.0 mol·L^?1 NaClO₄, T=298 K for pH=1 (0.1 mol·L^?1 HCl0₄) and 8, respectively. The activation parameters, obtained by measuring the rate constants of oxidation 283–303 K, were ΔH^≠=(69.0±5.6) kJ·mol^?1, ΔS^≠=(?0.34±0.041)×10² J·mol^?1·K^?1 at pH=l and ΔH^≠=(41.3±5.5) kJ·mol^?1, ΔS^≠=(?1.27±0.33)×10² J·mol^?1·K^?1 at pH=8, respectively. The cyclic voltammetry of Fe(CN) shows that the oxidation is a one‐electron reversible redox process with E_1/2 values of 0.55 and 0.46 V vs. normal hydrogen electrode at μ=1.0 mol·L^?1 LiClO₄, for pH=1 and pH=8 (Tris). respectively. The kinetic results were discussed on the basis of Marcus theory.     

Synthesis of novel p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene derivatives and their cation binding ability: chromogenic effect upon side arms binding

A series of novel double-armed calix[4]arene derivatives, i.e. 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl -25,27-bis[2-[(2-hydroxy-5-(4-nitroazo)benzylidene)amino]ethoxy]-26,28-dihydroxy-calix[4]-arene (4), 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis[2-[(2-hydroxy-5-(2-nitroazo)benzylidene) amino]ethoxy]-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene (5), 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis[2-[(2-hydroxy-5-(4-chloroazo)benzylidene)amino]ethoxy]-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene (6), have been synthesized as an selective chromoionophore for Na⁺. The complexation behavior of ligands 4-6 with alkali metal ions Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺and Cs⁺ has been evaluated by using UV-Vis spectrometry in CH₃CN-H₂O (99:1/V:V) solution at 25°C. The UV-Vis spectra show that the complexation of 4-6 with Na⁺exhibits obvious bathochromic shifts (λ_max 379→480 nm) and there is a unique color change in the solution from yellow to red upon complexation. The binding constants for Na⁺ are higher than that of other alkali metal ions, giving the highest cation selectivity up to 7 for Na⁺/K⁺. The binding ability and photophysical behavior of alkali cations by calix[4]arene derivatives 4-6 are discussed from the point of view of substituted effects at the lower rim of parent calix[4]arene and size-fit concept between host calix[4]arenes and guest cations.

Thermodynamics of the complexation of some transition metal ions with trithiocarbodiglycolic acid. Potentiometric and voltammetric studies

Summary Proton-ligand dissociation and metal-ligand stability constants of trithiocarbodiglycolic acid (TCGA) with some transition metal ions were calculated potentiometrically. The order of stability constants was found to be Fe³⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Co²⁺. The effect of temperature on the stability of the complexes formed was studied and the corresponding thermodynamic functions were derived and discussed. Polarographic and cyclic voltammetric behaviours ofTCGA were investigated in B.R. buffer solutions ofpH 2–12. In solutions ofpH<8, the polarograms and cyclo-voltammograms exhibited a single 2-electron diffusion-controlled irreversible step, corresponding to the reduction of the C=S. The mechanism of the reduction process was postulated and the kinetic parameters of the electrode process were evaluated.

Polarographic Determination of the Formation Constants of the Mixed Ligand Complexes of Cd(II) and Pb(II) with Thiosulphate and Halide Ions

The mixed ligand complexes of Cd(II) and Pb(II) with thiosulphate as a primary ligand and chloride, bromide of iodide (individually) as a secondary ligand have been polarographically, investigated at 30°C and at a constant ionic strength of μ = 1.0 M (NaClO₄). Two mixed ligand complexes were formed with the Cd(II) ion: log β₁₂ = 4.77, 5.30 and 6.78 for the chloride, bromide and iodide ions, respectively; and log β₂₁ = 5.36, 5.04 and 6.22 for the same ions. For the Pb(II)-Ts-Cl system, only one mixed ligand complex was formed with a log stability constant log β₂₁ =4.35. For the Pb(II)-Ts-Br system, three mixed ligand complexes are obtained with log β₁₁ = 3.63, log β₁₂ = 4.51 and log β₂₁ = 4.85.     

Complex Formation Between Alkane-α,ω-Diols and Cyclodextrins Studied by Partial Molar Volume and Compressibility Measurements

The binding of a series of alkane-,-diols, HO(CH₂)_nOH, n = 4 to 7, to - and -cyclodextrin (CD) has been studied by measurements of partial molar volumes (PMVs) and isentropic partial molar compressibilities (PMCs) at 25°C. From the PMV and PMC data, changes in the partial molar quantities upon going from a free state in aqueous solution to a complexed state were evaluated for the diols. Negative changes in PMV and PMC were observed for complex formation with -CD, while positive values were obtained for the -CD complexes. Equilibrium constants for the different complexes, assuming the formation of 1:1 complexes, were evaluated from the PMV and/or PMC data, and were found to increase with increasing chain length of the included diol for both - and -CD complexes. The equilibrium constant for complex formation is generally higher for the -CD than for the -CD complexes.
