A pyridine promoted ‘weak base route’ to (NHC)2NiCl2 complexes with bulky N,N'-diaryl carbene ligands

A simple one-step synthesis of (NHC)₂NiCl₂ complexes containing bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands relies on the C–H metallation of N,N'-diaryl-substituted azolium salts, NHC-precursors, with NiCl₂Py₂ in the presence of Cs₂CO₃ and pyridine. This procedure allows one to implement all synthetic manipulations in air.     

Multigram Synthesis of α- and γ-((Hetera)cyclo)alkylpyridines through α-Arylation of (Hetero)aliphatic Nitriles

A systematic study on the S_nAr reaction of halogenated fluoropyridines and (hetero)aliphatic nitrile anions as an approach to the synthesis of functionalized pyridines bearing a (cyclo)alkyl or saturated heterocyclic substituent by is described. The scope of the method was demonstrated on a wide range of (hetero)aliphatic nitriles (including three- to six-membered cycloalkane derivatives and N-, O-, S-containing saturated heterocycles) and all isomeric halogenated 2-and 4-fluoropyridines. High chemo- and regioselectivity (i. e., exclusive substitution of the fluorine atom), as well as excellent scalability of the proposed reaction sequence were demonstrated (up to 450 g for the arylation step or up to 77 g of cycloalkylpyridine over two steps in a single run). The utility of the synthesized products was illustrated in the additional functional group transformations resulting in synthetically valuable pyridine-containing building blocks.

Production of Alkyl Aryl Sulfides from Aromatic Disulfides and Alkyl Carboxylates via a Disilathiane–Disulfide Interchange Reaction

The results of this study show that disilathiane is an effective mediator in the synthesis of alkyl aryl sulfides with disulfides and alkyl carboxylates. Mechanistic studies suggest that disilathiane promotes cleavage of the sulfur–sulfur bond of disulfides to generate thiosilane as a key intermediate. Diselenides were also applicable to this transformation to produce the corresponding selenides.     

New Cu(I) Coordination Complexes Based on Tetrathiafulvalene Substituted Triazol‐pyridine Ligand: Synthesis,Properties and Theoretical Studies

Two Cu(I) complexes based on the thioethyl‐bridged triazol‐pyridine ligand with tetrathiafulvalene unit (TTF‐TzPy, L ), [Cu(I)(Binap)(L)]BF₄ ( 5 , Binap=2,2’‐bis(diphenylphosphino)‐1,1’‐binaphthyl) and [Cu(I)(Xantphos)(L)]BF₄ ( 6 , Xantphos=9,9‐dimethyl‐4,5‐bis(diphenylphosphino)‐xanthene), have been synthesized. All new compounds are characterized by elemental analyses, ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopies. The complex 5 has been determined by X‐ray structure analyses which shows that the central copper (I) ion assumes distorted tetrahedral geometry. The photophysical, computational and electrochemical properties of L and 5 ‐ 6 have been investigated. The most representative molecular orbital energy‐level diagrams and the spin‐allowed singlet? singlet electronic transitions of the three compounds have been calculated with density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent DFT (TD‐DFT). The luminescence bands of Cu(I) complexes 5 ‐ 6 have been assigned as mixed intraligand and metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer ³(MLCT+π→π^*) transitions through analysis of the photophysical properties and DFT calculations. The electrochemical studies reveal that 5 ‐ 6 undergo reversible TTF/TTF^+?/TTF²⁺ redox processes and one irreversible Cu⁺→Cu²⁺ oxidation process.     

Structures and Fluorescent Properties of Cadmium(II) Complexes with 1D and 2D Structures Based on Tridentate Benzimidazole Ligands

The cadmium(II) complexes [CdL1(m‐nba)₂] ( 1 ), [CdL1(p‐nba)₂] · C₂H₅OH ( 2 ), [CdL2(p‐nba)₂] · CH₃OH ( 3 ), and [CdL2(p‐nbat)₂] ( 4 ) containing the ligands L1 and L2 [L1 = 2,6‐bis(benzimidazol‐2‐yl)pyridine, L2 = bis(2‐benzimidazolylmethyl)amine] were synthesized and characterized (m‐nba, p‐nba, and p‐nbat are the anions of p‐nitrobenzoic acid, m‐nitrobenzoic acid, and p‐nitrobenzeneacetic acid, respectively). The complexes were investigated by X‐ray single crystal diffraction, elemental analysis as well as IR and fluorescence spectroscopy. Compounds 1 – 3 contain a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination sphere with Cd^II coordinated by two carboxylate ligands in bidentate‐chelating mode, whereas complex 4 exhibits a distorted octahedral arrangement with one carboxylate ligand in bidentate‐chelating and the other in monodentate coordination mode. 1 and 2 form a 1D chain interplayed by hydrogen bonding and strong π–π stacking interactions. 3 and 4 vary from 1D chain into 2D single‐layer and double‐layer networks because of more extensive hydrogen bonding interactions. The complexes show emission maxima in the blue region in the solid state and emission bands are red‐shifted compared to those of the free ligands.

Proton‐Conducting Magnetic Coordination Polymers

Three isostructural lanthanide‐based two‐ dimensional coordination polymers (CPs) {[Ln₂(L)₃(H₂O)₂]_n ? 2n CH₃OH) ? 2n H₂O} (Ln=Gd³⁺ ( 1 ), Tb³⁺ ( 2 ), Dy³⁺ ( 3 ); H₂L=cyclobutane‐1,1‐dicarboxylic acid) were synthesized by using a low molecular weight dicarboxylate ligand and characterized. Single‐crystal structure analysis showed that in complexes 1 – 3 lanthanide centers are connected by μ₃‐bridging cyclobutanedicarboxylate ligands along the c axis to form a rod‐shaped infinite 1D coordination chain, which is further linked with nearby chains by μ₄‐connected cyclobutanedicarboxylate ligands to form 2D CPs in the bc plane. Viewing the packing of the complexes down the b axis reveals that the lattice methanol molecules are located in the interlayer space between the adjacent 2D layers and form H‐bonds with lattice and coordinated water molecules to form 1D chains. Magnetic properties of complexes 1 – 3 were thoroughly investigated. Complex 1 exhibits dominant ferromagnetic interaction between two nearby gadolinium centers and also acts as a cryogenic magnetic refrigerant having a significant magnetic entropy change of ?ΔS_m=32.8 J kg^?1 K^?1 for ΔH=7 T at 4 K (calculated from isothermal magnetization data). Complex 3 shows slow relaxation of magnetization below 10 K. Impedance analysis revealed that the complexes show humidity‐dependent proton conductivity (σ=1.5×10^?5 S cm^?1 for 1 , σ=2.07×10^?4 S cm^?1 for 2 , and σ=1.1×10^?3 S cm^?1 for 3 ) at elevated temperature (>75 °C). They retain the conductivity for up to 10 h at high temperature and high humidity. Furthermore, the proton conductivity results were correlated with the number of water molecules from the water‐vapor adsorption measurements. Water‐vapor adsorption studies showed hysteretic and two‐step water vapor adsorption (182000 μL g^?1 for 1 , 184000 μL g^?1 for 2 , and 1874000 μL g^?1 for 3 ) in the experimental pressure range. Simulation of water‐vapor adsorption by the Monte Carlo method (for 1 ) confirmed the high density of adsorbed water molecules, preferentially in the interlayer space between the 2D layers.     

羧酸桥联的四核镧系簇合物的磁热效应和慢磁弛豫

在水热条件下,通过使用羧酸和螯合配体得到了一个系列的四核镧系簇合物,即[Ln₄(mnba)₁₂(tzp)₂(H₂O)₂](Ln=Gd(1),Tb(2),Er(3);Hmnba=间硝基苯甲酸;tzp=2-(1H-1,2,4-三唑-3-基)吡啶))。这3个化合物是同构的,且具有线性的四核簇结构。磁性研究表明,化合物1和3中簇内镧系离子之间是弱铁磁耦合的,但化合物2中铽离子之间是弱的反铁磁相互作用和(或)铽离子激发的斯塔克能级的去布居。化合物1具有较大的磁热效应(-ΔS_m^max=20.6 J·kg^-1·k^-1)。交流磁化率测试表明化合物3展现出频率和温度依赖的虚部信号,这是慢磁弛豫的典型特征,原因是铒离子的强各向异性和铁磁耦合的存在。
