用循环伏安法研究了［Ｍｏ_３ＯＣｌ_６（Ｏ_２ＣＲ）_３］－（其中Ｒ＝ＣＨ_３，Ｈ，ＣＨ_２Ｃｌ）系列三核钼簇合物在ＣＨ_３ＣＮ和ＤＭＦ溶剂中的电化学行为，并用差热－热重手段研究了它们的热稳定性和热分解过程的可能机理。结果表明在不同溶剂中它们有相似的二对氧化还原峰，而且在同一溶剂中随着Ｒ基团吸电子能力的增强，相应的第一氧化还原电位值向正向移动。当Ｒ＝ＣＨ_３，Ｈ时，它们的起始分解温度分别为２６５℃和２１０℃，即同样随着Ｒ基团吸电子能力的增强，起始分解温度降低。     

Electronic structure of the Fe3S4 cluster and its quasi-aromaticity

The localized molecular orbitals and their energy levels for the clusters [Fe₃S₄(SH)₃]^2–, [(HS)₃Fe₃S₄·Ni(PH₃)]^2–, [Mo₃S₄(OH₂)₉]⁴⁺, and [Mo₃S₄·Ni]⁴⁺ have been calculated by mean of the Edmiston-Ruedenberg energy localization technique under the CNDO/2 approximation in order to reveal the resemblance between [Fe₃S₄]⁺ and [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ in the geometrical configurations and the addition reactivities with heterometal atoms. It is shown that in these two cluster species with core {M ₃(₃-S)(-S)₃} of similar structure (M = Mo, Fe) there exist three synergically connected three-centered two-electron (M-S-M) -bonds around the puckered six-membered {M₃S₃} rings on account of delocalization of a lone electron pair on each bridging S atom; these (M-S-M) -bonds are thus capable of forming cubane-like heterometal clusters with intruder metal atoms through the ( M) bonding. It is therefore seen that unlike the [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ with appreciable bonding between the Mo atoms, the extra d-electrons on the metal atoms in the [Fe₃S₄]⁺ cluster are localized on the Fe atoms, exhibiting an electronic structure significantly different from that of the [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ cluster.

三重桥氧三核铁甲酸配合物[Fe_3(μ_3-O)(μ-O_2CH)_6(H_2O)_2·(O_2CH)]·2H_2O的热反应行为十分有趣,其在热解过程某阶段失去部分配体后的碎片能活化乙炔进行加氢或加水反应生成乙烯、乙醛和丙酮,为揭示这些活性碎片的本质,我们应用了原位红外光谱(in situ IR),热重(TG)、差热分析(DTA),气相色谱(GC)、X-射线粉未衍射(XRD)和质谱(MS)等手段综合研究该化合物的热解过程,求出各热解碎片的组成,并研究它们在不同条件下的反应性能.本文报道它们相互验证的定性及定量结果.     

Preparation and reactivity of metal-containing monomers

The thermal decomposition of iron (III) acrylate, [Fe₃O(CH₂=CHCOO)₆ · 3H₂O]OH (FeAcr), a monomer with a complex cluster cation, has been studied at 200–370 °C. Thermal transformations of FeAcr occur in two temperature regions. The rates of gas evolution in the low temperature region (200–300 °C) and the high temperature region (300–370 °C) are described by first-order equations withk=4.2 · 10²¹exp[−59000/(RT)] s⁻¹ andk=1.3 · 10⁶exp[−30500/(RT)] s⁻¹, respectively. A study of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the products of FeAcr thermolysis was carried out. The thermal transformation of FeAcr is a complex process of dehydration, degradation, and polymerization in the solid phase followed by decarboxylation of the metal-carboxyl groups of the polymer. for part 33 see Ref. 1.

ESR study of the reaction of decacarbonyidimanganese with thallium(i) 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzosendquinolate in solutions

The reaction of decacarbonyldimanganese Mu₂(CO)₁₀ (1) With thallium(t) 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzosemiquinolate (2) in solution was studied by ESR spectroscopy. Irradiation of solutions containing1 and2 in organic solvents with visible light at 220–280 K leads totrinuclear MnTlMn complex (3). An analysis of hyperfine structure parameters indicates that3 is a semiquinone complex of thallium. A possible mechanism of the formation of complex3 and its molecular structure was discussed.Translated fromIzveshya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 95–98, January, 1996.     

Two-Dimensional Supramolecular from the Self-Assembly of Dissymmetrical Oxamidato-Bridged Heterometallic Trinuclear Building Blocks: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Magnetic Properties

Two heterometallic trinuclear complexes {[Cu(oxbp)]₂Co(H₂O)₂}1.5DMF0.5H₂O (complex 1) and {[Cu(oxbm)]₂Co(H₂O)₂}2DMF (complex 2) were obtained from the self-organization of two new dissymmetrical oxamidato-bridged copper(II) building blocks [Cu(oxbp)]^– and [Cu(oxbm)]^–[H₃oxbp=N-benzoato-N'-(3-aminopropyl)oxamido, H₃oxbm=N-benzoato-N'-(2-amino-2-methylethyl)oxamido, DMF=dimethylformamide]. The crystal structure of complex 1 has been determined. Complex 1 crystallize in triclinic system, space group P-1, a=8.0609(16) Å, b=10.661(2) Å, c=22.279(5) Å, =85.32(3), =86.64(3), =70.90(3), and Z=1. The crystal structure of complex 1 consists of neutral trinuclear complex units, and hydrogen bond involved DMF and water molecules. Through the hydrogen bonds, weak coordination and CuCu weak interactions, complex 1 features a 2-D supramolecular structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurements (5–100 K) indicate that the central Co(II) and terminal copper metal ions are antiferromagnetically coupled with J=–28.09 and J=–29.70 cm^–1 for complex 1 and 2, respectively.     

Computational Study on the Structural and Electronic Properties of Multi-Nuclear Palladium and Nickel Silyl Complexes via DFT and QTAIM Approaches

In this research, we have concentrated on the survey of ability of density functional methods and also modern semi-empirical approaches to reproduce the crystal structure of a binuclear silyl nickel complex and a trinuclear palladium silyl complex. In the structural analysis of the aforesaid nickel and palladium complexes, we have also interested to investigate the possibility of Si-Si bond formation between SiH₂ and μ-SiH moieties from the structural and electronic viewpoints. Comparison of our calculated structural parameters of aforementioned complexes with the available X-ray crystallographical data reveals that both functionals (B3LYP and M062X) can well reproduce X-ray structure of the complex with a near accuracy while the PM6-D2 semi-empirical calculated values are not in a reliable agreement with the crystallographical data. In the next step, we assessed the nature of interactions between palladium and nickel metal ions with silyl ligands via Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecule (QTAIM) computations. Furthermore, we have analyzed the possibility of Si-Si bond formation in the aforementioned complexes by means of topological electronic indices. Strictly speaking, QTAIM calculations have been performed to explore the electronic density, its laplacian and electronic energy density at some key bond critical points to interpret the structural features of aforesaid complexes from the electronic point of view.     

A Trinuclear Ni(Ⅱ) Mixed-ligand Complex Containing Pentadentate N-butylsalicylhydrazide and Monodentate Imidazole:Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure

A novel trinuclear nickel(Ⅱ) complex [Ni3(bushz)2(Himdz)2(H2O)2]?2DMF (1, bushz=N-butylsalicylhydrazide, Himdz=imidazole, DMF=N,N-dimethyl-formamide) has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction characterization. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a=7.706(7), b=14.882(6), c=18.639(6) , β=108.08(2)o, V=2032(1) 3, Dc=1.525 g/cm3, Mr=932.95, Z=2, F(000)=972, μ=1.442 mm-1, the final R=0.0359 and wR=0.0771. The three nickel(Ⅱ) atoms in 1 are arranged in a strictly linear structure and exhibit alternating square-planar and octahedral geometries. The complex is connected to form a supramolecule with an infinite three-dimensional network through intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The electrochemical studies reveal that redox of Ni3+/Ni2+ in the complex is a quasi-reversible process. The thermal stability of the title complex was also studied.     

4-Phosphoryl Pyrazolones for Highly Selective Lithium Separation from Alkali Metal Ions

Effective receptors for the separation of Li⁺ from a mixture with other alkali metal ions under mild conditions remains an important challenge that could benefit from new approaches. In this study, it is demonstrated that the 4-phosphoryl pyrazolones, H L ²-H L ⁴, in the presence of the typical industrial organophosphorus co-ligands tributylphosphine oxide (TBPO), tributylphosphate (TBP) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO), are able to selectively recognise and extract lithium ions from aqueous solution. Structural investigations in solution as well as in the solid state reveal the existence of a series of multinuclear Li⁺ complexes that include dimers (TBPO, TBP) as well as rarely observed trimers (TOPO) and represent the first clear evidence for the synergistic role of the co-ligands in the extraction process. Our findings are supported by detailed NMR, MS and extraction studies. Liquid-liquid extraction in the presence of TOPO revealed an unprecedented high Li⁺ extraction efficiency (78 %) for H L ⁴ compared to the use of the industrially employed acylpyrazolone H L ¹ (15 %) and benzoyl-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone (52 %) extractants. In addition, a high selectivity for Li⁺ over Na⁺, K⁺ and Cs⁺ under mild conditions (pH ∼8.2) confirms that H L ²-H L ⁴ represent a new class of ligands that are very effective extractants for use in lithium separation.
