Synthesis and characterisation of bis(pentafluorophenyl)antimony(V) cations, [(C6F5)2SbL3]

Pentacoordinate complex cations of the general formula [(C₆F₅)₂SbL₃]³⁺ stabilized as solid salts in combination with tetraphenylborate (BPh₄), tetrafluorobroate (BF₄) anions, where L=DMSO, Ph₃AsO, PyO, DMF, α-, β- and γ-picoline have been isolated. The newly formed complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, solid-state IR and http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0022113903000940-si3.gif"> and http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0022113903000940-si4.gif"> NMR. From these results, a five-fold coordination around antimony was required.     

The regioselectivity of the formation of 2-pyrazolylthiazoles and their precursors from the reaction of 2-hydrazinothiazoles with 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-hetaryl-1,3-butanediones

Reaction of 2-hydrazinothiazoles 1 with 1-thienyl- and 1-furyl-1,3-butanediones 2a,b in methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid mainly leads to a mixture of pyrazoles 3 and pyrazolines 4 or pyrazoles 3 and 5 in strong acidic conditions. Isomeric hydrazones 6 and pyrazolines 4 were formed and isolated in these reactions in the absence of hydrochloric acid. It has been shown that the regioselectivity in the reaction of diketones 2 with hydrazine 1 is governed by both the concentration of acid and the nature of substituents in the 1,3-diketones 2. Cyclization of hydrazones 6 is shown to occur under milder conditions than dehydration for pyrazolines 4. The new heterocyclic compounds were prepared and fully characterized by NMR spectra and by X-ray analysis for 3c.     

Synthesis of 2-chloro-1,1-difluoroallyl mesylates through novel rearrangement and CC bond formation by their Pd-catalyzed reaction with diethylzinc

Treatment of 2-chloro-3,3-difluoroprop-2-en-1-ol derivatives (2) with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a base did not give the expected esters but 2-chloro-1,1-difluoroprop-2-enyl methanesulfonates (4) through a novel [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement. Reaction of 4 with diethylzinc in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium gave 1-alkyl- or 1-aryl-2-chloro-3-fluoropenta-1,3-dienes in moderate to good yields through a Chttp://cdn.els-cdn.com/sd/entities/sbnd" class="glyphImg">C bond formation followed by dehydrofluorination.     

Preparation of fluorine compounds of groups 13 and 14: a study case for the diagonal relationship of aluminum and germanium

The synthesis of carbaalanes of composition [(AlF)₆(AlNMe₃)₂(CR)₆] containing terminal fluorine atoms is described. The clusters have in common that the central core consists of eight aluminum and six carbon atoms. Six of the eight aluminum atoms are bearing six terminal fluorine atoms. The fluorination of (t-BuNCH₂AlH)₄ results in the formation of the aggregate (t-BuNCH₂AlF)₄. In group 14, the fluorine containing unsaturated compounds LGeF, LGehttp://cdn.els-cdn.com/sd/entities/dbnd" class="glyphImg">S(F), LGehttp://cdn.els-cdn.com/sd/entities/dbnd" class="glyphImg">Se(F), and LGehttp://cdn.els-cdn.com/sd/entities/dbnd" class="glyphImg">NSiMe₃(F) were prepared (Lhttp://cdn.els-cdn.com/sd/entities/dbnd" class="glyphImg">HC(CMeNAr)₂), Ar = 2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃ and Ar = 2,6-Me₂(C₆H₃)).     

Molecular structure and spectral properties of thionaphthalimides

The molecular structure and absorption spectra of monothio- and dithio-naphthalimides were compared to their naphthalimide analogues using AM1, PM3 and ZINDO/S semiempirical quantum chemical methods. The substitution of the 4R-naphthalimide oxygen atoms by sulphur atoms resulted in a red-shift of the absorption spectra by Δλ_max60-65 and 100-140 nm, respectively. The thionated naphthalimide derivatives do not show observable fluorescence due to intersystem crossing to the triplet http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0022286003003181-si8.gif">-states localised at the CS groups. The http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0022286003003181-si9.gif">-absorption bands of monothioimides are located at 525-580 nm (ε=60-80) and those for dithioimides at 535-560 nm (ε=140-390) and 628-686 nm (ε=34-68). None of these transitions are solvent sensitive. The http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0022286003003181-si10.gif">-transitions of N-phenylthioimides have also a small contribution from http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0022286003003181-si11.gif">-states due to a partial conjugation between CS group and π-electronic system of the N-phenyl ring. As a result, the http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0022286003003181-si12.gif"> bands of aromatic substituted N-phenylthioimides are red-shifted as compared to those of the aliphatic N-methyl-thioimides.

A turn-on and reversible fluorescence sensor with high affinity to Zn in aqueous solution

A new simple receptor 1 based on aminosalicylimine was prepared. It exhibited an ‘off–on fluorescence type’ mode with high sensitivity in the presence of Zn²⁺. In particular, this chemosensor could clearly distinguish Zn²⁺ from Cd²⁺. Also, it could be a reusable chemosensor because the addition of EDTA quenched the fluorescence of the Zn²⁺-2·1 complex. Furthermore, receptor 1 had a sufficiently low detection limit (68 nM) in aqueous solutions, which implies that 1 could sense the nanomolar concentration of Zn²⁺. Therefore, this sensor has the ability to be a practical system for the monitoring of Zn²⁺ concentrations in aqueous samples.
