The diorganodiselenides (pzCH₂CH₂)₂Se₂ ( 1 ) and (PhtzCH₂)₂Se₂ ( 2 ) were prepared by reacting Na₂Se₂ with 1‐(2‐bromoethyl)‐1H‐pyrazole and 4‐(chloromethyl)‐2‐phenylthiazole, respectively, while the reactions between 1‐(2‐bromoethyl)‐1H‐pyrazole or 4‐(chloromethyl)‐2‐phenylthiazole and the lithium organoselenolates [2‐(Et₂NCH₂)C₆H₄]SeLi and [2‐{O(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₂}C₆H₄]SeLi in a 1:1 molar ratio resulted in the heteroleptic diorganoselenium(II) compounds [2‐(Et₂NCH₂)C₆H₄](R)Se (R = pzCH₂CH₂ ( 3 ) or PhtzCH₂ ( 5 )) and [2‐{O(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₂}C₆H₄](R)Se (R = pzCH₂CH₂ ( 4 ) or PhtzCH₂ ( 6 )). The diorganotin(IV) bis(organoselenolato) derivatives of type R₂Sn(SeCH₂CH₂pz)₂ (R = 2‐(Me₂NCH₂)C₆H₄ ( 7 ) or Me ( 8 )) were obtained by reacting (pzCH₂CH₂)SeNa with the appropriate diorganotin(IV)dichloride in a 2:1 molar ratio. All compounds were investigated using NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ⁷⁷Se, ¹¹⁹Sn as appropriate) and ESI+ mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of 2 and 6 were determined using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The formation of a 10–Se–3 hypercoordinated species was evidenced for 6 in the solid state, as a consequence of the C,N coordination behaviour of the 2‐{O(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₂}C₆H₄ group. Compounds 1 , 7 and 8 were investigated for their antiproliferative activity towards the mouse colon carcinoma C26 cell line with the preliminary results showing a better activity than 5‐fluorouracil.     

New assembly of organic components and transition metal complexes based on [VMo6O22]3? and [V2Mo6O26]6? building blocks: syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties

Two new molybdovanadates, (H₃NCH₂CH₂NH₃)₃ [Mo₆VO₂₂(CH₃COO)₃]·5H₂O (1) and (H₃NCH₂CH₂NH₃)₂{(Mo₆V₂O₂₆)[Cu(NH₂CH₂CH₂NH₂)(H₂O)₂]}·4H₂O (2), have been synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by IR, UV–vis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric, elemental analysis, and magnetic analysis. Compound 1 is a crown-shaped ring consisted of six edge-sharing MoO₆ octahedra linked to a central {VO₄} unit. The MoO₆ octahedra are in pairs connected with the carboxylato ligands from three acetic acid molecules. Compound 1 is the first example of a molybdovanadate coordinated by acetic acid molecules. In addition, multipoint hydrogen-bonding interactions exist in 1, which bridge the crown-shaped [Mo₆VO₂₂ (CH₃COO)₃]⁶⁻ clusters and the protonated ethylenediamine molecules into three-dimensional (3D) networks. The structural feature of compound 2 is the formation of one-dimensional (1D) zip-zag chain in which [Mo₆V₂O₂₆]⁶⁻ clusters are covalently bonded to copper coordination groups through the terminal oxygen of the {VO₄} tetrahedron. The magnetic investigation on compound 2 demonstrates the possible occurrence of antiferromagnetic interactions by intermolecular linkage.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Complexes (M = Al,Ti, W,Zn) Containing Pyrrole‐imine Ligands

A series of metal compounds (M = Al, Ti, W, and Zn) containing pyrrole‐imine ligands have been prepared and structurally characterized. The reactions of AlMe₃ with one and three equivs of pyrrole‐imine ligand [C₄H₃NH‐(2‐CH=N? CH₂Ph)] ( 1 ) generated aluminum compounds Al[C₄H₃N‐(2‐CH=N? CH₂Ph)]Me₂ ( 2 ) and Al[C₄H₃N‐(2‐CH=NCH₂Ph)]₃ ( 3 ), respectively, in relatively high yield. Reacting two equivs of 1 with Ti(OⁱPr)₄, W(NH^tBu)₂(=N^tBu)₂, or ZnMe₂ afforded Ti[C₄H₃N‐(2‐CH=NCH₂Ph)]₂(OⁱPr)₂ ( 4 ), W[C₄H₃N‐(2‐CH=NCH₂Ph)]₂(=N^tBu)₂ ( 5 ), and Zn[C₄H₃N‐(2‐CH=NCH₂Ph)]₂ ( 6 ), respectively. All the compounds have been characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 3 – 6 have also been characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis. The biting angles of pyrrole‐imine ligand with metals decrease and their related M? N_pyrrole and M? N_imine bond lengths increase in the order of 6 , 3 , 4 , and 5 .

These complexes substantially enhance the rate of hydrolysis, the values of the second-order rate constants being some 10–30 times greater than those obtained in the presence of simple metal ions.     

Zur Kenntnis des Aluminiumchlorids. Die Umsetzung von AlCl3 mit PCl5 und Methylamin

Aluminium trichloride forms the adducts AlCl₃ · NH₂CH₃, AlCl₃ · 2NH₂CH₃, AlCl₃ · 4NH₂CH₃; AlCl₃ · NH₃CH₃Cl, AlCl₃ · 2NH₃CH₃Cl. The interaction between AlCl₃, PCl₅ and NH₃CH₃Cl in the molar ratio 1:3:2 proceeds according to the reaction equation in “Inhaltsübersicht”. On applying other stoichiometric amounts, [Cl₂(NHCH₃)P? N(CH₃)? AlCl₃] · HCl and [Cl₃P? N(CH₃)? AlCl₃] · HCl are obtained; the latter reacts as [Cl₃P? NHCH₃][AlCl₄]. At the molar ratio AlCl₃:PCl₅:NH₃CH₃Cl = 1:2:4 a compound is formed being presumably the six-membered heterocycle formulated in “Inhaltsübersicht”. With [Cl₃P?N? PCl₃] and aluminium chloride [Cl₃P?N? PCl₃][AlCl₄] is formed.     

Aldol-Type Cyclization of Bisacylphosphonates. A Unique Concerted Catalytic Effect of Diamines

Abstract

Some bisacylphosphonates are biologically active in calcium related disorders, such as bone resorption and ectopic calcification.¹ In the course of our studies directed towards the preparation of stable, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of bisacylphosphonates, we found that in the presence of N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine (benzathine), adipoylbisphosphonate (AdBP) underwent cyclization to 2-hydroxy-2-phosphonocyclopentanecarbonylphosphonic acid. Similarly, pimeloylbisphosphonate (PiBP) cyclized to 2-hydroxy-2-phosphonocyclohexanecarbonylphosphonic acid, although at a rate about 30 times slower than AdBP. Study of the catalytic effect of amines on the cyclization of PiBP revealed a striking dependence on the pH, the chain length of the diamine, and the amine used. Thus the following relative efficacy was observed for the different amines at pH 5: Me₂N(CH₂)₂NH₂ (120), H₂N(CH₂)₂NH₂ (100), H₂N(CH₂)₃NH₂ (4), H₂N(CH₂)₄NH₂ (1), PhCH₂NHCH₂CH₂NHCH₂Ph (0.1), Me₂NCH₂CH₂NMe₂ (0.02), MeNH₂ (0.02). These data show that depending on the chain length, 1,2-diamines are far more efficient catalysts than longer chain diamines and monoamines in these cyclizations. The mechanism which accommodates these results involves attack of a primary amine group on one of the keto groups, followed be removal of an alpha proton by the second amine group and the formation of an enamine. The latter then cyclizes by attacking the second keto group.     

Syntheses,characterization and crystal structures of two square-planar Ni(II) complexes with unsymmetrical tridentate Schiff base ligands and monodentate pseudohalides

Two new square-planar Ni(II) complexes, [NiL¹(NCS)] (1) and [NiL²(N₃)] (2) have been synthesized with the unsymmetrical tridentate Schiff base ligands [(CH₃)₂NCH₂CH₂N=C(CH₃)CH=C(OH)(C₆H₅)], L ¹ H, derived from benzoylacetone and 2-dimethylaminoethylamine and [(CH₃CH₂)₂NCH₂CH₂N=C(CH₃)CH=C(OH)(C₆H₅)], L ² H, derived from benzoylacetone and 2-diethylaminoethylamine, respectively. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, electrochemical and thermal methods (where applicable). Structures have been established by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique which reveals the discrete nature of the complexes in which the metal centers adopt a distorted square planar geometry. Coordination environments of the metal ions in the complexes are satisfied with two different unsymmetrical Schiff base ligands having similar N₂O donor sets and a terminal pseudohalide anion (thiocyanate for 1 and azide for 2).

An organo‐spaced molybdenum thiocomplex [ H₃NCH₂CH₂‐NH₃][Mo₃S₁₃] has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition and the structure of the compound was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 1.81157 (18), b = 1.04549(9), c = 2.04892(19) nm, β= 107.184 (2)°, Z = 8 and V = 3.7074(6) nm³. The inorganic part of the compound consists of a Mo₃ triangle capped by an apical μ₃‐sulfur atom, with each Mo atom being also coordinated to one terminal disulfur ligand and two bridging disulfur ligands. The negative charges on the inorganic cluster are balanced by the diprotonated ethylenediamine cations [ H₃NCH₂CH₂‐NH₃]²⁺ located in the space between the clusters.     

Investigations on the Synthesis,Structural Characterization,and Crystal Structures of Three Diiron and Tetrairon Azadithiolate Complexes

Three diiron and tetrairon azadithiolate complexes as models for the active site of [FeFe] hydrogenase were prepared. Reaction of complex Fe₂(SCH₂OH)₂(CO)₆ and NH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃ resulted in the diiron azadithiolate hexcarbonyl complex Fe₂[(SCH₂)₂NCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃](CO)₆ ( 1 ) in moderate yield. Furthermore, treatment of complex 1 with mono phosphine ligand PPh₃ and diphosphine ligand Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂ in the presence of decarbonylation reagent Me₃NO · 2H₂O yielded the phosphine‐substituted azadithiolate complexes Fe₂[(SCH₂)₂NCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃]CO)₅(PPh₃) ( 2 ) and {Fe₂[(SCH₂)₂NCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃](CO)₅}₂(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) ( 3 ) respectively. The new complexes 1 – 3 were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. It is worthy to note that the crystallographic studies show the unusual difference of the methoxypropanyl substituent on the N atom of complexes 1 and 2 , largely because of the affection of phosphine ligand PPh₃. In addition, complex 1 was found to be a catalyst for H₂ production under electrochemical condition.     

Energetic Hydrazine‐Based Salts with Nitrogen‐Rich and Oxidizing Anions

1,1,1‐Trimethylhydrazinium iodide ([(CH₃)₃N? NH₂]I, 1 ) was reacted with a silver salt to form the corresponding nitrate ([(CH₃)₃N? NH₂][NO₃], 2 ), perchlorate ([(CH₃)₃N?

The metathesis reaction of compound 6 ?2H₂O with barium salts led to the formation of the corresponding picrate ([(CH₃)₃N? NH₂][(NO₂)₃Ph ‐ O], 7 ), dinitramide ([(CH₃)₃N? NH₂][N(NO₂)₂], 8 ), 5‐nitrotetrazolate ([(CH₃)₃N? NH₂][O₂N? CN₄], 9 ), and nitroformiate ([(CH₃)₃N? NH₂][C(NO₂)₃], 10 ) salts. Compounds 1 – 10 were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, infrared/Raman spectroscopy, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N). Additionally, compounds 1 , 6 , and 7 were also characterized by low‐temperature X‐ray diffraction techniques (XRD). Ba(NH₄)(NT)₃ (NT=5‐nitrotetrazole anion) was accidentally obtained during the synthesis of the 5‐nitrotetrazole salt 9 and was also characterized by low‐temperature XRD. Furthermore, the structure of the [(CH₃)₃N? NH₂]⁺ cation was optimized using the B3LYP method and used to calculate its vibrational frequencies, NBO charges, and electronic energy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to assess the thermal stabilities of salts 2 – 5 and 7 – 10 , and the sensitivities of the materials towards classical stimuli were estimated by submitting the compounds to standard (BAM) tests. Lastly, we computed the performance parameters (detonation pressures/velocities and specific impulses) and the decomposition gases of compounds 2 – 5 and 7 – 10 and those of their oxygen‐balanced mixtures with an oxidizer.

Several novel aluminum alkoxydisilanolate complexes were prepared by reaction of triphenylsilanol with aluminum 2‐methoxyethoxide, aluminum 2‐ethoxyethoxide, aluminum sec‐butoxide and aluminum iso‐propoxide. All new complexes, [(Ph₃SiO)₂Al(OR)]₂ [where R = CH₂CH₂OCH₃ (1), CH₂CH₂OC₂H₅ (2), CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃ (3) and CH(CH₃)₂ (4)] were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy (IR), as well as ¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si and ²⁷Al NMR spectroscopies. The solid‐state structures of the representative compound 2 and 4 were also verified by single‐crystal X‐ray analyses. Complexes 2 and 4 are dimers having distorted trigonal bipyramidal and tetrahedral coordination at the aluminum center, respectively. The ²⁷Al NMR spectrum of compound 2 showed that the solid‐state structure of the complex was not retained in solution, and tetracoordinated aluminum was found in solution in contrast to the pentacoordinated geometry in the solid state. The hydrothermal treatment of 1 and 4 at 200 °C and the subsequent calcination at 1000 °C resulted in the formation of alumina–silica composite (4SiO₂·Al₂O₃) with γ‐alumina in the silica matrix.
