Structural features of monomeric octahedral <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-rhenium(V) monooxo complexes with oxygen atoms of bidentate-chelating neutral and acidic ligands (O,P)

The structural features of 38 mononuclear d ²-Re(V) octahedral monooxo complexes (I–XXXVIII) with oxygen atoms of bidentate-chelating (O, P) ligands (L ⁿ ) are considered. The atoms O(L ⁿ ) are mostly in trans positions to O(oxo) ligands. In three compounds of general formula [ReO(L_mono)(L ⁿ )₂] (XXXVI–XXXVIII), the O atoms of two L ⁿ ligands occupy both trans and cis positions to oxo ligands. In one complex, namely, in [ReO(L ⁿ )(L _tri ¹¹ )], n = 3 (XXXV), the atom O(L³) is in the cis position to the oxo ligand; the trans position to O(oxo) is occupied by the atom O(L _tri ¹¹ ).

Synthesis of isotactic polystyrene-block-polyethylene by the combination of sequential monomer addition and hydrogenation of 1,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis>-polybutadiene block

Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of a well-defined diblock copolymer consisting of isotactic polystyrene (iPS) and linear polyethylene, isotactic polystyrene-block-polyethylene (iPS-b-PE), by the combination of sequential monomer addition and hydrogenation. Isospecific living polymerization of styrene and living trans-1,4-polymerization of 1,3-butadiene were catalyzed by 1,4-dithiabutandiyl-2,2′-bis(6-cumenyl-4-methylphenoxy) titanium dichloride (complex 1) activated by triisobutyl aluminum modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) at room temperature to provide highly isotactic polystyrene (iPS) and 1,4-trans-polybutadiene (1,4-trans-PBD) with narrow molecular weight distribution. Furthermore, the iPS-b-1,4-trans-PBD was synthesized via sequential monomer addition in the presence of complex 1 and MMAO. The hydrogenation of the 1,4-trans-PBD block was promoted by RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃ used as a catalyst to produce iPS-b-PE.     

2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines: Synthesis and reactions with electrophilic reagents

The hydrogenation of 2-amino-5-R-7-R′-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines with NaBH₄ led to the formation of 2-amino-5-R-7-R′-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. Acylation, sulfonylation, and alkylation of these compounds depending on conditions and the reagent character occur at the amino group, atoms N³ or N⁴. The treatment with alkali of 2-amino-3-benzyl-5-R-7-R′-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidinium bromide resulted in 2-amino-3-benzyl-5-R-7-R′-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine, similar reaction of 2-acetamido-3-benzyl-5-R-7-R′-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidinium bromide gave a mesoionic product of a hydrogen elimination from the amide nitrogen atom.

Catalytic hydrogenation of benzene, biphenyl, and ortho-, metha-, and para-isomers of terphenyl over a 3 wt.% Pt/C at 180 °C and 70 atm was studied.

Organophosphine ligands in PtPX<Subscript>2</Subscript>Y and PtPXYZ complexes; structural aspects

This review covers over ninety platinum complexes with PtPX₂Y and PtPXYZ inner coordination spheres, in which the P-donor ligands are organomonophosphines. These complexes crystallize in four crystal systems: tetragonal (×3), orthorhombic (×17), triclinic (×20) and monoclinic (×56). Complexes with the PtPX₂Y chromophore exist in cis- as well as trans-configurations; however, the latter prevails. There are four types of ligands which create such chromophores: monodentate (H, OL, NL, CO, BL, Cl, SL, Br, SeL and I); homobidentate (O₂L, N₂L, S₂L, Se₂L and As₂L); heterobidentate (O/N, O/S, N/S, N/Se and N/Te); and heterotridentate (O/O/N, N/N/S, N/N/Se, O/S/S, Se/N/Se and O/N/S). The chelating ligands create four-, five- and six-membered metallocycles, and the effects of both steric and electronic factors can be seen from the values of the L–Pt–L bite angles. The structural parameters are analyzed and discussed, with particular attention to trans-effects. Three types of isomerism are identified, namely cis–trans, distortion and ligands.
