Synthesis and X-Ray Crystal Structures of Fe2Ru(CO)12−n (CNBu t ) n and FeRu2(CO)12−n (CNBu t ) n (n=1, 2)

The clusters Fe₂Ru(CO)_12–n (CNBu ^t ) _n (3, n=1; 4, n=2), FeRu₂(CO)_12–n (CNBu ^t ) _n (5, n=1, 6, n=2) and FeRu₂(CO)₁₁(CNCy) (5a) have been prepared by direct substitution from the parent carbonyl precursors Fe₂Ru(CO)₁₂ (1) and FeRu₂(CO)₁₂ (2). All compounds have been characterized spectroscopically and clusters 3, 4, 5, and 6 by single crystal X-ray determinations. In all cases, the isonitrile ligands adopt axial or pseudo-axial positions on a ruthenium atom. The structures of 3–5 are very similar to their parent clusters, but the extent of metal framework disorder is significantly less. Cluster 6 adopts the same C _2v Fe₃(CO)₁₂ type structure as 4, and thus differs markedly from the parent compound 2, which has a D ₃ structure .     

Effect of orientation of extra fused benzene ring and lateral methyl substituent on the mesophase behaviour of three-ring azo/ester molecules

ABSTRACT

Two homologous series of the three-ring azo/ester compounds 2-(or1-) naphthyl 4?-(4?’-alkoxy phenylazo) benzoates (In_a and IIn_a) were synthesised. A lateral methyl group was introduced in different positions of the alkoxy phenyl moiety, in position-2 to give series In_b and IIn_b and in position-3 to give series In_c and IIn_c. Molecular structures were characterised via elemental analyses, infrared and ¹H-NMR. Their mesophase characteristics were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and their phases identified via polarised light microscopy (PLM). Transition temperatures were correlated with the alkoxy-chain length (n) that varies between 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 carbons. Comparative studies were first made to investigate the effect of including the extra fused benzene ring, and its orientation, into the previously investigated three-ring compounds, 4-phenyl 4?-(4′′-alkoxyphenylazo) benzoates (IIIn_a). Investigation of the mesophase behaviour was extended to cover the effect of introducing the lateral methyl group and its position. The comparison between the present six series and their corresponding phenyl analogues IIIn_a,b,c, indicated that the 2-naphthyl analogues, In_a,b,c, exhibit the highest mesophase stability. Whereas, the steric effect of the protruded naphthalene group destabilises all mesophases and appear only monotropically. The results were discussed in terms of polarisability effect.     

Syntheses,structural characteristics,and antimicrobial activities of new organotin(IV) 3-(4-bromophenyl)-2-ethylacrylates

New organotin(IV) carboxylates, [n-Bu₂SnL₂] (1), [Et₂SnL₂] (2), [Me₂SnL₂] (3), [n-Oct₂SnL₂] (4), [n-Bu₃SnL] _n (5), [Me₃SnL] _n (6), and [Ph₃SnL] _n (7), where L?=?3-(4-bromophenyl)-2-ethylacrylate, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn). Spectroscopic studies confirm coordination of L to the organotin moiety via COO group. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals bridging mode of coordination in 6. Packing diagram established a supramolecular cage-like structure for 6 due to Sn–O interactions (3.287?Å). Subsequent antimicrobial activities proved them to be active biologically.     

Thermal behavior of some new triazole derivative complexes

A series of new complexes with mixed ligands of the type [ML(C₃H₃O₂)₂]·nH₂O (((1) M=Mn, n=1; (2) M=Co(II), n=2; (3) M=Ni(II), n=4; (4) M=Cu(II), n=1.5; (5) M=Zn(II), n=0; L=3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and (C₃H₃O₂)=acrylate anion) were synthesized and characterised by chemical analysis and IR data. In all complexes the 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole acts as bridge while the acrylate acts as bidentate ligand except for complex (5) where it is found as unidentate. The thermal behaviour steps were investigated in nitrogen flow. The thermal transformations are complex processes according to TG and DTG curves including dehydration, acrylate ion and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole degradation respectively. The final products of decomposition are the most stable metal oxides, except for complex (4) that leads to metallic copper.     

Ru2(CO)4{OOC(CH2)nCH3}2L2 sawhorse-type complexes containing μ2-η2-carboxylato ligands derived from saturated fatty acids

The thermal reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with the saturated fatty acids (heptanoic, nonanoic, decanoic, tridecanoic, tetradecanoic, heptadecanoic, octadecanoic) in refluxing tetrahydrofuran, followed by addition of triphenylphosphine (PPh₃) or pyridine (C₅H₅N), gives the dinuclear complexes Ru₂(CO)₄{OOC(CH₂) _n CH₃}₂L₂ (1: n = 5, 2: n = 7, 3: n = 8, 4: n = 11, 5: n = 12, 6: n = 15, 7: n = 16; a: L = NC₅H₅, b: L = PPh₃). The single crystal structure analysis of 1b, 2a, 3a, 4a and 5a reveals a dinuclear Ru₂(CO)₄ sawhorse structure, the diruthenium backbone being bridged by the carboxylato ligands, while the two L ligands occupy the axial positions at the ruthenium atoms. In 2a, π-π stacking interactions between adjacent pyridyl units of symmetry related molecules prevail, while in the longer alkyl chain derivatives 3a, 4a and 5a, additional van der Waals and electrostatic interactions between the alkyl chains take place as well in the packing arrangement of the molecules, thus giving rise to layers of parallel alkyl chains in the crystal.     

Effect of orientation of lateral fluorine atom on the mesophase behaviour of azo/ester molecules with terminal naphthyl group

ABSTRACT

Two homologous series of the three-ring 4?-(4"-alkoxy-2"-(or 3")fluoro phenylazo) benzoates terminated with 2-(or 1-) naphthyl groups (In_d&e or IIn_d&e), respectively, were prepared and their mesophase behaviour investigated via differential scanning calorimetry, whereas the type of the mesophase identified by polarised light microscopy. Molecular structures of compounds prepared were first characterised via infrared, ¹H-NMR and elemental analyses. Transition temperatures were correlated with the alkoxy chain length (n) that varies between 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 carbons.

Comparative studies were made to investigate the effect of including the lateral fluorine atom, and its orientation, into the previously investigated fluorine-free analogues, namely, 2-(or 1-) naphthyl 4?-(4"-alkoxyphenylazo) benzoates (In_a and IIn_a). The study was extended to investigate the effect of replacing the methyl group in the previously prepared 2"- and 3"-methyl analogues (In_b&c or IIn_b&c) with the fluorine atoms on their mesophase behaviour.

The syntheses of 1∶1‐macrocycles 3 (n=1), unsymmetrical macrocycle 5 (m=0, n=1), 2∶2‐macrocycle 5 (m=n=1 and 2), 3∶3 macrocycle 7, and several open‐chain ethereal compounds prepared from 2,5‐dichloro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole 1 and various polyethylene glycols dianions are described. Structural proofs are afforded by their mass and NMR spectral features. The quaternization studies of a few macrocycles with methyl iodide at elevated temperature furnished a diketo derivative 8 through a facile Hilbert–Johnson reaction.     

Synthesis and mesomorphic behaviour of novel discotic meso‐tetra(3,4,5‐n‐trialkoxybenzoylaminophenyl)porphyrins

Novel porphyrin derivatives with twelve flexible alkyl chains, namely meso‐tetra[4‐(3,4,5‐n‐trialkoxybenzoylamino)phenyl]porphyrins (1a, n = 12; 1b, n = 16) and the zinc complex (2a) were synthesized. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by DSC, WAXD and polarizing optical microscopy; the results showed that 1a and 2a exhibit a pseudo‐hexagonal columnar phase, and 1b a rectangular (Col) phase over a wide temperature range including room temperature.     

Comparative study of the reactions ofn-BuMgBr andn-BuLi with cyclododecanone

The composition of the products obtained in the reactions ofn-BuMgBr andn-BuLi with cyclodecanone (1) has revealed that1 exhibits the properties of a sterically hindered ketone. The highest yield of 1-butylcyclododecanol (2) was achieved with the use ofn-BuMgBr, but in this case cyclododecanol was also formed, whereas the use ofn-BuLi led to the tertiary alcohol more distinctly. Dehydration of alcohol2 resulted in a mixture of three olefins containing up to 90 % ofE- andZ- isomers of 1-butylcyclododecene.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

New sol–gel precursors for binary oxides of antimony,Sb<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> (senarmonite) and α-Sb<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>: synthesis and characterization of some ketoximate modified antimony(III) alkoxides

Hydrolysis of pure Sb(OPrⁱ)₃ by sol–gel method followed by sintering at 500 °C yields microcrystallites of Sb₂O₃ (senarmonite phase). Under similar conditions bimetallic alkoxide, [NaSb(OPrⁱ)₄], yields a mixture of binary oxides Sb₂O₃ and Sb₂O₄. Chemical modification of Sb(OPrⁱ)₃ with oximes forms monomeric products of the type [Sb(OPrⁱ)_3−n {ON=C(CH₃)R} _n ] {where R = CH₃, n = 1 [1]; n = 2 [2]; n = 3 [3]; R = 2-C₅H₄N, n = 1 [4]; n = 2 [5]; n = 3 [6]; R = 2-C₄H₃O, n = 1 [7]; n = 2 [8]; n = 3 [9]; R = 2-C₄H₃S, n = 1 [10]; n = 2 [11]; n = 3 [12]}. The liquid products [1–3, 7 & 10] were purified by distillation while the solids by recrystallization. All these products were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, NMR (¹H and ¹³C{¹H}) and representative derivatives [1], [2] and [3] by FAB mass studies. On the basis of these studies, a distorted pyramidal structure for all the derivatives may be assumed in the solution state containing an end-on coordination of oximes with the metal atom. Hydrolysis of the distilled precursors [1], [2] and [3] under sol–gel conditions yields pure nano-sized α-Sb₂O₄. All the oxides were characterized by XRD, SEM and EDX analysis exhibiting minimum particle size for the oxide obtained from the precursor [3].

Solvothermal reactions of CuX (X?=?Br, SCN, CN) with bis(4-phenyl-pyrazol-1-yl)methane (phpzm) gave two 2-D coordination polymers, [Cu(μ-Br)(μ-phpzm)] _n (1) and [{Cu(μ-SCN)}₂(μ-phpzm)] _n (2), and a 1-D coordination polymer, [(phpzm)Cu(μ-CN)] _n (3). Compounds 1–3 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and X-ray crystallography. Compounds 1 and 2 have 2-D networks in which split-stair [Cu(μ-Br)] _n chains (1) or staircase-like [Cu(μ-SCN)] _n double chains (2) are linked by μ-phpzm bridges. Compound 3 consists of a zigzag chain formed by linking [Cu(phpzm)] fragments via cyanide bridges. Luminescence properties of 1–3 along with phpzm in the solid state at ambient temperature were also investigated.     

One- and Two-dimensional Coordination Polymers of Cadmium Complexes Bridged by 4,4′-Trimethylenebipyridine Ligands

Abstract  

Three new cadmium coordination polymers, [CdBr₂(tmdp)₂(μ-tmdp)₂] _n ·n(H₂O) (1), [Cd(SCN)₂(μ-tmdp)₂] _n ·2n(PhS) (2) and [Cd(SCN)₂(μ-tmdp)₂] _n ·n(Ph₂S₂)·n(CH₃CN) (3) (tmdp = 4,4′-trimethylenedipyridine), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The geometry around cadmium is a slightly distorted octahedron with four tmdp and two Br^- or SCN^- ligands. Complex 1 represents a one-dimensional structure, whereas complexes 2 and 3 are two-dimensional coordination polymers. The rhombic channels of the coordination network of 2 and 3 are occupied by 1D polymeric (PhS) _n and diphenyl disulfide (Ph₂S₂) molecules, respectively. The photoluminescent properties of coordination polymers 1–3 were investigated in solid state at room temperature. The TGA experiments showed that these three complexes were quite thermally stable.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of monomeric and polymeric supramolecular organotin(IV) 4-chlorophenylethanoates

Four monomeric [n-Bu₂SnL₂ (1), Et₂SnL₂ (2), Me₂SnL₂ (3), and n-Oct₂SnL₂ (7)] and three polymeric {[n-Bu₃SnL]_n (4), [Me₃SnL]_n (5), and [Ph₃SnL]_n (6)} organotin(IV) carboxylates, where L?=?4-chlorophenylethanoate, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn). Compounds 2 and 5 were also analyzed by X-ray single-crystal analysis showing monomeric and zigzag structures, respectively. Two types of O…H (2.641?Å) and Cl…H (2.943?Å) non-covalent interactions generate a 2-D supramolecular structure for 2. Layer-by-layer supramolecular structure was observed for 5 in which polymeric chains are connected via non-covalent interactions {Cl…H (2.869?Å), H…π (2.899?Å)}, and unconventional dihydrogen {H…H (2.381?Å)} interactions.

A series of Ln^III–Sr^II heterometallic coordination polymers formulated as [Ln₂Sr₃(pda)₆(H₂O)₁₈]·nH₂O (Ln = Pr-1, n = 14; Nd-2, n = 12; Sm-3, n = 11; Eu-4, n = 11; Gd-5, n = 16; Tb-6, n = 13; Dy-7, n = 13) were synthesized via assembly of Ln(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, SrCl₂·6H₂O, pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (H₂pda) and imidazole (im) in H₂O/C₂H₅OH solution. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that they are isostructural. All of these complexes possess ladder-shaped 1-D chain structures. The luminescent properties of Sm-3, Eu-4, Gd-5, Tb-6 and Dy-7 have been investigated. The solid-state quantum yields and the lifetimes of Eu-4 and Tb-6 are also studied.     

VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA AND STRUCTURE OF ALKOXY AND CHLOROALKOXY DERIVATIVES OF ANTIMONY(V)

Abstract

Vibrational spectra of (CH₃O) _n SbCl_5–n . n = 1: 1; n = 2: 2: n = 3: 3: n = 4: 4; n = 5: 5; have been recorded. According to ir and Raman data 1–5 are centrosymmetrical bridged dimers. The Raman spectra of 3–5 exhibit v(Sb–O) doublets of terminal CH₃O at 530–541 and 550–570 cm^?1; vibrations of the 4-membered Sb₂O₂ ring, observed in the 500–517 cm^?1 region of the ir spectra of 1–5, are absent. The v(C–O) bands of bridged and terminal CH₃O are shifted to higher wave numbers (60 and 31 cm^?1, respectively) in the series 1 → 5. The stability of the dimers increases in the series 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 ? 5. At 100–120°C and in CH₃CN solutions dimers of 1–3 dissociate to monomers (v(Sb–O) 537–540 cm^?1, ir data). The monochloride, 4, is partially dissociated in CH₃CN. On solution of the tetrachloride, 1, in benzene a dimer-monomer equilibrium has been observed, with the dimeric form being predominant.

Thermal behaviour of new N,N-dimethylbiguanide complexes having selective and effective antibacterial activity

The complexes of the type M(HDMBG)₂(CH₃COO)₂·nH₂O ((1) M:Mn, n=1.5; (2) M:Ni, n=0; (3) M:Cu, n=2; (4) M:Zn, n=2; DMBG: N,N-dimethylbiguanide) present in vitro antimicrobial activity. The thermal analysis has evidenced the thermal intervals of stability and also the thermodynamics effects that accompany them. The different nature of the ligands generates a different thermal behaviour for the complexes. The thermal transformations are complex processes according to TG and DTG curves including dehydration, oxidative condensation of –C=N– units as well as thermolysis processes. The final products of decomposition are the most stable metal oxides.
