Reactivity of pyrrole pigments,XXI: Structure and reactivity of Cu(II) and Zn(II) bilindione chelates

Summary Several Mn, Cu, and Zn chelates of etiobiliverdin-IV-, mesobiliverdin-IX, and its dimethyl ester are studied. The results show that the chemical constitution of the Cu biliverdin chelate corresponds to a formal metal oxidation state of (II) coordinated to a neutral radical of the NH trideprotonated biliverdin. The reactivity of the Cu(II) bilindione chelates in nucleophilic solvents agrees with that expected for a neutral radical structure of the ligand; in CH₃OH, they undergo oxidation towards dimethoxybilipurpurins. The magnetic behaviour of Cu(II) etiobiliverdinate-IV- in the solid state shows an intramolecular weak antiferromagnetic coupling d⁹Cu-to--radical (J=–23 cm^–1) and an intermolecular weak antiferromagnetic coupling -radical-to--radical (J=–45 cm^–1). The analogy of this magnetic behaviour to that of the cation radical of metalloporphyrins is discussed.

Reaktivität von Pyrrolpigmenten, 21. Mitt.: Struktur und Reaktivität von Cu(II)- und Zn(II)-Chelaten von Bilindionen

Zusammenfassung Einige Mn, Cu and Zn Chelate von Etiobiliverdin-IV-, Mesobiliverdin-IX und seinem Dimethylester werden untersucht. Im Komplex koordiniert ein Metallatom (mit der Formalladung II) mit einem Neutralradikal des dreifach NH-deprotonierten Bilindions. Die Reaktivität des Komplexes gegenüber nukleophilen Lösungmitteln entspricht erwartungsgemäß dem eines neutralen -Radikals; in CH₃OH wird er zu Dimethoxybilipurpurin oxidiert. Bei Cu(II)-Etiobiliverdinat-IV beobachtet man im festen Zustand neben schwacher, antiferromagnetischer Kupplung zwischen d⁹Cu und -Radikal (J=–23 cm^–1) auch eine schwache, intermolekulare, antiferromagnetische Wechselwirkung zwischen zwei -Radikalen (J=–45 cm^–1). Dieses magnetische Verhalten wird dem des -Kationradikals von Metalloporphyrinen gegenübergestellt.

The resulting salts of (H₂bpp)MX₄ · n H₂O (M = Zn, X = Cl, n = 1, 1; M = Cd, X = Br, n = 0, 2; M = Hg, X = Cl, n = 1, 3; M = Cu, X = Cl, n = 0, 4; M = Cu, X = Br, n = 1, 5; M = Pt, X = Cl, n = 1, 6) were crystallized from the reaction mixture prepared by adding MX₂ to the HX solution of 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp), while the salt of colorless (H₂bpp)SnCl₆, 7, was crystallized from the reaction mixture prepared by adding SnCl₂ to the HCl solution of bpp. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography. All the compounds show supramolecular structures in the solid state by intermolecular hydrogen bondings and aromatic – interactions. The H₂bpp²⁺ cations in these metal salts adopt the gauche–gauche and anti–anti conformations with different dihedral angles for the two pyridyl rings.     

Konformationen diastereoisomererBis-(alkylaryl)-ether

Summary X-ray-analysis of the meso-ether2 showed the existence of two bridged species in the unit cell besides the expected molecule. The additional bonds between the 9- and 10-positions of the anthracene moieties were extraordinarily long. This fact leads to conclusions on the reactive behaviour of alkylaryl carbinoles upon acid-catalysed etherification.

Vibrational spectra and structure of “staircase” carbonyl π-complexes of transition metals

FTIR spectra have been studied for staircase cyclopentadienyl complexes containing two or three metal carbonyl fragments bound by the metal-carbon bond Cp(CO)₂Fe-CpmMn(CO)₃ (1), Cp(CO)₂Fe-CpmFe(CO)₂CH₂Ph (2), Cp(CO)₂Fe-Cpm(CO)₂Fe-CpmMn(CO)₃ (3), Cp(CO)₂Mo-Cpm(CO)₂Fe-CpmMn(CO)₃ (4), Cp(CO)₃W-Cpm(CO)₂Fe-CpmMn(CO)₃ (5), Cp(CO)₂Fe-Cpm(CO)₂Fe-BmCr(CO)₃ (6), Cr(CO)₃Bm-CpmFe(CO)₂CH₂Ph (7), where Cp = ₅-C₅H₅, Cpm = ¹⁵-C₅H₄, Bm = ¹⁶-C₆H₅. Temperature-dependent FTIR spectra were measured inn-pentane solutions over a wide temperature range and in the low-temperature solid matrices of argon and nitrogen. Rotamers, formed due to rotation about the metal-carbon -bond, were found in solutions and matrices. A molecular mechanics calculation of1 proved the possibility of such rotation.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk.

Fullerene C60 as a η5- and η6-ligand in sandwich-type π-complexes with transition metals

The molecular and electronic structures of some hypothetical sandwich-type -complexes of transition metals with fullerene C₆₀ were modeled. The M-C₆₀ bonds in ⁵-C₆₀MCp⁺ complexes (M = Fe, Ru, Os) are less strong than the M-Cp bonds in ferrocene, ruthenocene, and osmocene, respectively. The ⁶-C₆₀MC₆H₆ complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) should be less stable than their classical analogs (C₆H₆)M(C₆H₆). The coordination of a metal atom with the fullerene at its pentagonal face is more energetically favorable than at a hexagonal face.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk.

2,2′-Diphenyl-Δ3,3′-bi-3H-indole-1,1′-dioxide: Molecular interactions and crystal structure

The Dinitrone 2,2-diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indole-1,1-dioxide acts as a demethylating and dehydrogenating agent. The mechanism of interaction of the dinitrone with donors and acceptors does not involve intermediate charge-transfer complexes probably due to a self association between dinitrone molecules (as supported by X-ray determinations). The crystal structure of the dinitrone was obtained by direct methods;a=9.967 (2),b=19.817 (3),c=10.875 (2) Å, =111.2 (2)°, space group P2₁/n. The finalR andR _w were 0.089 and 0.063 for all measured reflexes.

Zusammenfassung Das Dinitron 2,2-Diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indol-1,1-dioxid wirkt als Demethylierungs- und Oxydationsmittel. Die Wechselwirkung des Dinitrons mit Elektronen-Acceptoren und Elektronen-Donatoren geht wegen der Selbstassoziation zwischen den Dinitron-Molekülen ohne die dazwischenliegende Bildung eines Charge-Transfer-Komplexes vor sich; das wird auch von Röntgenstrukturuntersuchungen gestützt. Die Kristallstruktur wurde mit direkten Methoden ermittelt:a=9.967 (2),b=19.817 (3),c=10.875 (2) Å; =111.2 (2)°. P2₁/n.

Charge-transfer complexes betweenp-toluidine and iodine in solution: A kinetic study

The kinetics of charge-transfer interaction betweenp-toluidine and iodine in methylene chloride was investigated in depth. Thethermal process of formation of theinner complex was found to proceed to an equilibrium. Thephotochemical process follows a different reaction coordinate, going through the formation of an exciplex between the excitedouter complex and the amine ground state. In both cases the same ionic complex (Am ₂I⁺I ₃ ^– , whereAm stands forp-toluidine) was detected as the final product.

Charge-transfer complexes of indenophanes with π-acceptors

The charge-transfer (CT) spectra of the -complexes formed by a number of -acceptors with several indenophanes as well as indene as a model compound have been measured in methylene chloride at 20 °C. Association constants and transition energies of these complexes as well as ionization potentials of the -donors have been determined. The data obtained indicate the existence of transannular electronic interactions in the indenophane nucleus. Furthermore, the pseudo-para- andmeta[2.2]indenophane isomers (3 and4) show a large difference in their -base strength. A good linear relationship has been observed between the association constants and _max of the long wavelength CT bands for the -complexes of these -donors with both tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ). All CT complexes studied have a 1:1 stoichiometry.

Charge-transfer-Komplexe aus Indenophanen und -Akzeptoren

Zusammenfassung Die Charge-transfer-Spektren (CT-Spektren) von -Komplexen aus Indenophanen bzw. der Modellverbindung Inden und verschiedenen -Akzeptoren wurden in Methylenchlorid bei 20 °C bestimmt. Die Assoziationskonstanten und Übergangsenergien dieser Komplexe sowie die Ionisationspotentiale der -Donatoren wurden ermittelt. Die Daten sprechen für das Vorliegen transannularer elektronischer Wechselwirkungen im Indenophan-System. Die isomeren pseudo-para- und -meta[2.2]indenophane3 und4 unterscheiden sich in ihrer -Basizität deutlich. Es besteht eine gute lineare Korrelation zwischen den Assoziationskonstanten und _max der langwelligen CT-Banden der verschiedenen -Donatoren mit Tetracyanoethylen (TCNE) und 2,3-Dichlor-5,6-dicyano-p-benzochinon (DDQ). Alle untersuchten CT-Komplexe besitzen 1:1-Stöchiometrie.

     

Reactivity of pyrrole pigments,XX. On the structure of Cu(II) and Zn(II) tripyrrin-1-one chelates in solution

Summary The Cu(II) and Zn(II) chelates of 12,14-dimethyl-2,3,7,8-tetraethyl-15H-tripyrrin-1-one, 12,13-dimethyl-2,3,7,8-tetraethyl-15H-tripyrrin-1-one, and their sulfonate derivatives are studied. The chelates show the expected structure of an NH dideprotonated ligand chelating the metal ion. However, in the case of the Zn chelate of 12,14-dimethyl-2,3,7,8-tetraethyl-15H-tripyrrin-1-one the ligand is only monodeprotonated, and the lactam ring is tautomerized to a hydroximino function.

Calculation of some electronic excited states of formaldehyde

The optimized MO's of several excited states of formaldehyde have been calculated by means of a large basis set of modified Gaussian functions; particular attention has been paid to the * transition. The total energy of the various states has been obtained as the sum of the SCF and correlation energies; the last one has been calculated as a functional of the electronic density. The calculated values for the transition energies are in good agreement with the experiment. A strong interaction of the * state with the continuum is evidentiated; this fact can justify the absence of the * band in the absorption spectrum.

Solvent effects in electronically excited states using the continuum solvation model COSMO in combination with multireference configuration interaction with singles and doubles (MR-CISD)

An implementation of the COSMO continuum solvation model into the MCSCF and MR-CISD programs of the COLUMBUS program system is reported. Equilibrium solvation and non-equilibrium solvation models for the treatment of electronic excitations have been used. Solvatochromic effects have been computed for a representative set of n-* and -* states of formaldehyde, acrolein and pyrazine using several solvents ranging from some with apolar character to water. Agreement with experimental shifts is good within the limits of a continuum model.Contribution to the Jacopo Tomasi Honorary Issue
