Cyclic Voltammetric Study of the Oxidation of Catechols in the Presence of Cyanide Ion

Electrochemical oxidation of catechols has been studied in the presence of cyanide ion as nucleophile in aqueous solution, by means of cyclic voltammetry and controlled‐potential coulometry. The results indicate that the participation of catechols in the Michael reaction with cyanide ion to form the corresponding o‐dihydroxybenzonitrile. Based on an EC mechanism, the homogeneous rate constants were estimated by comparing the experimental cyclic voltammetric responses with the digital simulated results.

The synthesis and electrochemistry of CpTiCl2(OR) (R = alkyl, aryl) complexes

The syntheses of several new CpTiCl₂(OR) (R = alkyl, aryl) complexes are described. It was possible to isolate pure product when the R group is substituted such as to cause steric crowding at the metal centre; for example, particularly good yields of the phenolate complexes were obtained when there were isopropyl substituents in the 2 and 6 positions of the phenolate. Electrochemical studies of the complexes in dry THF show that the Ti^III complexes are relatively stable, but only a diol complex could be reduced further to a Ti^II species. In general, the Ti^IV complexes undergo a reversible 1e⁻ reduction reaction. The chemistry is more complex if the electrolyte contains added water: both the Ti^IV and Ti^III complexes can react with water, the OR group being replaced by OH. The reaction is particularly rapid for the Ti^III alkoxide complexes.     

Synthesis, structures and spectroelectrochemistry of methyl-substituted bis(η-indenyl)iron(II) complexes

Several new methyl-substituted indenyl ferrocenes were prepared by metathesis reactions of the indenide (generated from the appropriate indene with BuLi) with ferrous chloride. The indenides used to prepare new ferrocenes were: 2-methyl-, 1,2-dimethyl-, 4,7-dimethyl-, 1,4,7-trimethyl-, and 1,3,4,7-tetramethyl-indenide. These indenyl ferrocenes, along with those prepared from indenide, 1-methylindenide, and 1,3-dimethylindenide, were then characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, UV/visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and mass spectrometry. The cyclic voltammetry showed an additive relationship between oxidation potential and the number of methyl groups which is also position-dependent, whereas the UV/visible spectra showed two absorptions essentially unaffected by methyl substitution. Additionally, bis(2-methylindenyl)iron(II) and bis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)iron(II) were characterized by X-ray crystallography.
