NMR study of some sydnones,isosydnones, and isothiosydnones

Multinuclear¹H,¹³C,¹⁴N,¹⁵N, and¹⁷O NMR data are presented for some sydnones, isosydnones and isothiosydnones. The type of valence tautomerism shown in (Fig. 1) is not observed for the compounds studied. At high pH compounds2 and12 are found to undergo transformations. The more suitable NMR parameters are reported for establishing the structures of mesoionic compounds containing three heteroatoms in the five-membered conjugated ring. Someab initio GIAO calculations on a model structure of sydnones and related compounds have been performed.     

Researches on 1, 2, 4-triazoles

Determination of the acidity constants of 1-aryltetrazolinethiones-5, 4-aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolinethiones-3, 1-aryltetrazolinones-5, 4-aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolinones-3 shows that carbonyl compounds are 10^–1–10^–2 times less acid than compounds with a thione group. Acidities are found to increase considerably, 10³–10⁴ times, on passing from triazole compounds to tetrazole ones. 4-Aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolinones-3 and 1-aryl-tetrazolinones-5 are aminomethylated and cyanoethylated and the reactions found to take place at the amide nitrogen atom.For Part VI see [1].     

High pressure synthesis and crystal structure of a new series of perovskite-like compounds CMn7O12 (C = Na,Ca, Cd,Sr, La,Nd)

A new series of perovskite-like compounds CMn₇O₁₂ have been synthesized under high pressure and high temperature conditions. C is a large divalent or trivalent cation such as Ca, Cd, Sr, La and Nd. The structures of the quenched materials have been determined from powder X-ray data. They are distortions of the NaMn₇O₁₂ cubic structure. The [C²⁺Mn³⁺₃](Mn³⁺₃Mn⁴⁺)O₁₂ compounds are trigonal ($\text{R}\text{3}$). The C²⁺ and Mn³⁺ as well as the Mn³⁺ and Mn⁴⁺ cations are ordered on the corresponding A and B sites of the perovskite structure, respectively. The [C³⁺Mn³⁺₃] (Mn³⁺₄)O₁₂ compounds are monoclinic ($\text{I}\text{2}\text{m}$). In these compounds the order exists only in the A sites. It is shown that the lower symmetry may be the result of a cooperative Jahn-Teller effect of the Mn³⁺ cations occupying the B sites.     

Synthesis, Analgesic, and Antiparkinsonian Profiles of Some Pyridine, Pyrazoline, and Thiopyrimidine Derivatives

Summary. A series of substituted pyridine, pyrazoline, and thiopyrimidine derivatives were synthesized from 3-acetylpyridine, which was prepared from nicotinic acid as a naturally starting material. The pharmacological screening showed that many of these compounds have good analgesic and antiparkinsonian activities comparable to Voltarene^? and Benzatropine^? as reference drugs. The structure assignment of the new compounds is based on chemical and spectroscopic evidence. The detailed synthesis, spectroscopic data, and pharmacological properties for synthesized compounds are reported.     

Ln(Fe3+M2+)O4 compounds with layer structure [Ln : Y,Er, Tm,Yb, and Lu, M : Mg,Mn, Co,Cu, and Zn]

A series of new compounds Ln(Fe³⁺M²⁺)O₄ [Ln : Y, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu, M : Mg, Mn, Co, Cu, and Zn] were successfully synthesized and their lattice constants were determined. These compounds have the same crystal structure as YbFe₂O₄ and Fe³⁺ and M²⁺ are both surrounded by five oxygen ions forming a trigonal bipyramid. The synthetic conditions are presented. They are strongly dependent upon the constituent cations of the compound.     

Synthesis,Biological Evaluation,and Molecular Modeling of Aza-Crown Ethers

Synthetic and natural ionophores have been developed to catalyze ion transport and have been shown to exhibit a variety of biological effects. We synthesized 24 aza- and diaza-crown ethers containing adamantyl, adamantylalkyl, aminomethylbenzoyl, and ε-aminocaproyl substituents and analyzed their biological effects in vitro. Ten of the compounds (8, 10–17, and 21) increased intracellular calcium ([Ca²⁺]_i) in human neutrophils, with the most potent being compound 15 (N,N’-bis[2-(1-adamantyl)acetyl]-4,10-diaza-15-crown-5), suggesting that these compounds could alter normal neutrophil [Ca²⁺]_i flux. Indeed, a number of these compounds (i.e., 8, 10–17, and 21) inhibited [Ca²⁺]_i flux in human neutrophils activated by N-formyl peptide (fMLF). Some of these compounds also inhibited chemotactic peptide-induced [Ca²⁺]_i flux in HL60 cells transfected with N-formyl peptide receptor 1 or 2 (FPR1 or FPR2). In addition, several of the active compounds inhibited neutrophil reactive oxygen species production induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and neutrophil chemotaxis toward fMLF, as both of these processes are highly dependent on regulated [Ca²⁺]_i flux. Quantum chemical calculations were performed on five structure-related diaza-crown ethers and their complexes with Ca²⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ to obtain a set of molecular electronic properties and to correlate these properties with biological activity. According to density-functional theory (DFT) modeling, Ca²⁺ ions were more effectively bound by these compounds versus Na⁺ and K⁺. The DFT-optimized structures of the ligand-Ca²⁺ complexes and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis showed that the carbonyl oxygen atoms of the N,N’-diacylated diaza-crown ethers participated in cation binding and could play an important role in Ca²⁺ transfer. Thus, our modeling experiments provide a molecular basis to explain at least part of the ionophore mechanism of biological action of aza-crown ethers.     

Synthese und Zerfall von Azoinitiatoren,I

Azoesters of the typePhR ¹R²CN=NCR ²R¹Ph(R ¹=alkyl,R ²=rest of carboxylic acids) were synthesized; their 10h-half-life-temperatures and energies of activation of the decomposition were determined. The decomposition of the azo compounds follows a law of first order. The variation of the substituentsR ¹ andR ² gives information about the effect on the decomposition of the azo compounds. The azoesters of acetic acid are outstanding by low temperatures of decomposition and are situated in the range of azoisobutyronitrile.

     

RbHg2 und CsHg2, Darstellung,Kristallstruktur, elektrische Leitfähigkeit

RbHg₂ and CsHg₂ — Preparation, Crystal Structures, and Electrical Conductivities Preparation, crystal structures and electrical conductivities of the new compounds RbHg₂ and CsHg₂ are described. Both compounds form reddish-black, air sensitiv single crystals with a metallic lustre and crystallize isotypically to the orthorhombic KHg₂ in the space group Imma (No. 74). The specific electrical resistivity of pressed powder pellets shows a metallic behaviour between 1.4 K and room temperature. From an analysis of crystal structures and electrical properties one can suggest a formula M⁺(Hg₂)⁰e^? to describe the chemical bonding in these compounds qualitatively.     

Steric strain and electron-impact. The behaviour of some n,n'-dimethyl-1,1-binaphthyls,some n,n'-dimethylbiphenyls and model compounds

For the title compounds I(M), A[M ? H]⁺ and A[M ? Me]⁺ have been determined. In the biaryl compounds, unlike the xylene and the two dimethylnaphthalenes studied, A[M ? Me]⁺ is noticeably dependent on the position of the methyl group. Deuterium labelling of the methyl groups in the biaryl compounds reveals that more than one process is involved in the formation of the [M ? Me]⁺ ion. In contrast, only in the case of 2,2′-dimethylbiphenyl is the appearance potential of the [M ? H]⁺ ion position dependent. The labelling results suggest complete scrambling of the hydrogen atoms before formation of the [M ? H]⁺ ions. Some comments are made on the problem of trying to relate differences in strain energies and ionisation and appearance potentials in alkyl substituted aromatics.     

Density Functional Theoretical Study of Polynitrogen Compounds N5+Y− (Y=B(CF3)4, BF4, PF6 and B(N3)4)

The structures and the stabilities of polynitrogen compounds N₅⁺Y^? [Y=B(CF₃)₄, BF₄, PF₆, and B(N₃)₄], as the potential high energy density compounds, have been investigated at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) and B3LYP/6‐311+G(d,p) levels. On the basis of our geometry optimization calculations, the structural properties of the N₅⁺Y^? compounds are discussed, and it is found that the combination of the N₅⁺ cation and the Y^? anions leads to distortion of the structures of the Y^? anions. Based on the TS calculations for the N₂‐loss dissociations of the N₅⁺Y^? compounds, the stabilities of these compounds are discussed, and the following conclusion can be drawn that among the four compounds, N₅⁺B(CF₃)₄^? is the most stable one and N₅⁺B(N₃)₄^? is the most unstable, and the relative stability of these compounds is always consistent using different basis sets. From these discussions, it is revealed that there are close correlations between the stuctrual distortions of the Y^? anions and the stabilities of the N₅⁺Y^? compounds, and between the nitrogen content in the compounds and the stabilities of the N₅⁺Y^? compounds.     

2- and 2,7-Substituted para-N-Methylpyridinium Pyrenes: Syntheses,Molecular and Electronic Structures,Photophysical, Electrochemical,and Spectroelectrochemical Properties and Binding to Double-Stranded (ds) DNA

Two N-methylpyridinium compounds and analogous N-protonated salts of 2- and 2,7-substituted 4-pyridyl-pyrene compounds were synthesised and their crystal structures, photophysical properties both in solution and in the solid state, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties were studied. Upon methylation or protonation, the emission maxima are significantly bathochromically shifted compared to the neutral compounds, although the absorption maxima remain almost unchanged. As a result, the cationic compounds show very large apparent Stokes shifts of up to 7200 cm⁻¹. The N-methylpyridinium compounds have a single reduction at ca. −1.5 V vs. Fc/Fc⁺ in MeCN. While the reduction process was reversible for the 2,7-disubstituted compound, it was irreversible for the mono-substituted one. Experimental findings are complemented by DFT and TD-DFT calculations. Furthermore, the N-methylpyridinium compounds show strong interactions with calf thymus (ct)-DNA, presumably by intercalation, which paves the way for further applications of these multi-functional compounds as potential DNA-bioactive agents.

Several compounds are determined to be potent antimicrobial and antioxidant agents.

     

From mesogens to metallomesogens. Synthesis,characterisation, liquid crystal and luminescent properties

Continuation with our previous investigation which refers to the synthesis of a series of hydrophobic symmetrical azine compounds: 1,2-bis[4-(n-alkoxy)benzylidene]hydrazine (where, n-alkoxy: O(CH₂)_nH, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 or 18), a series of hydrophobic asymmetrical azine compounds: [1-(4-propyloxy)-2-(4?-(n-alkoxy))benzylidene]hydrazine (where, n-alkoxy: O(CH₂)_nH, n = 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 or 18) was synthesised following an efficient and practical method. These compounds were synthesised by the condensation reaction of hydrazine hydrate with 4-propyloxybenzaldehyde and appropriately 4-(n-alkoxy)benzaldehydes in acidic medium and ambient conditions (very simple way with no need of any sophisticated techniques). Moreover, two new series of silver(I) complexes based on symmetrical or asymmetrical azines have been synthesised (linear-binuclear type complexes with the general formula [Ag₂(L)(NO₃)₂] were obtained). The organic compounds and their silver(I) complexes were characterised using different techniques: microelemental analysis and spectral data (FTIR, UV–Vis, ¹HNMR, ¹³C{¹H}NMR, 2D ¹H-¹H-COSY, 2D ¹H-¹³C-HSQC and mass spectra) as well as molar conductivity measurements for silver(I) complexes. Liquid crystal behaviour of the prepared compounds were studied using polarised light optical microscopy and confirmed with differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray powder diffraction techniques. The studies revealed that all azine compounds and some of silver(I) complexes are liquid crystal materials. The luminescent properties of all the prepared compounds were also investigated which confirmed that all of these compounds are photo-luminescent in the crystalline solid state and in the mesophase.

Dimethyl telluride as a ligand: synthesis and physicochemical studies on its complexes with transition metal bis(chlorosulphates) M(SO3Cl)2(M=Cr,Mn, Fe,Co, Ni,Cu)

Summary Dimethyl telluride, Me₂Te, reacts with first row transition metal bis(chlorosulphates), M(SO₃Cl)₂(M=Cr^II, Mn^II, Fe^II, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II) in MeCN resulting in the formation of compounds of the type [M(SO₃Cl)₂-(Me₂Te)₂]. These compounds are stable under N₂ but decompose on exposure to moist air. The covalent nature of bonding of the SO₃Cl^– group has been ascertained on the basis of a positive shift in ₁ (A) vibration, splitting of the doubly degenerate (E) modes and low molar conductivity values. The magnetic moments and electronic spectra suggest an octahedral geometry for these compounds (except for the Ni^II complex where a tetragonal distortion is observed) where each SO₃Cl^– group is bonded in a bidentate manner.     

Computational characterization of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13-heptaazatetracyclo [5.5.1.03,11.05,9]tridecanes as potential energetic compounds

The characters of high density and high heat of formation of cage molecules have attracted a lot of investigations as potential energetic materials. Several such compounds have been synthesized, e.g., octanitrocubane, hexanitrohexaazaisowurzitane (CL-20), and 4-trinitroethyl-2, 6, 8, 10, 12-pentanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane(TNE-CL-20). In the present study, a new cage compound, namely 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13-heptaazatetracyclo [5.5.1.0^3,11.0^5,9] tridecane (HATT), was proposed. Density functional theory has been employed to study the geometric and electronic structures for a series of nitro derivatives of HATT at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. Thermodynamic properties derived on the basis of statistical thermodynamic principles are linearly correlated with the numbers of nitro group as well as the temperature. Detonation performance was evaluated based on the calculated densities and heats of formation. It is found that some title compounds have high densities of ca. 1.9 g cm^?3, detonation velocities over 9.0 km s^?1, and detonation pressures of about 40.0 GPa and may be novel potential candidates of high energy density compounds (HEDCs). Thermal stability and pyrolysis mechanism of the nitro HATTs were investigated by calculating the bond dissociation energies (BDE). In conjunction with the detonation performance and thermal stability, HATTs with no less than five nitro groups are recommended as the preferred candidates of HEDCs. These results provide basic information for the further studies of cage compounds.     

Exploring LiZnNbO4 as a Host for New Colored Compounds: Synthesis,Structure, and Material Properties of NbZn1-x Mx LiO4 (M=Mn,Co, Ni,Fe) and Nb1-ySby Zn1-x Mx LiO4 (M=Co,Ni)

The non - centrosymmetric tetragonal inverse spinel structure of LiZnNbO₄ has been explored with a view to prepare new colored compounds. The substitution of Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺, and Cu²⁺ ions were attempted in the place of Zn²⁺ ions and Sb⁵⁺ ions in place of Nb⁵⁺ ions. The studies indicated that 0.75 Zn²⁺ ions in LiZnNbO₄ can be replaced by Co²⁺ ions and 0.5 Zn²⁺ ions in LiZnNb_0.5Sb_0.5O₄ compound. The substitution of Co²⁺ ions gives rise to different shades of blue color in Li(Zn_1-xCo_x)NbO₄ compounds and from ink blue to blue-green color in Li(Zn_1-xCo_x)(Nb_0.5Sb_0.5)O₄ compounds. The different colors observed in the present study were explained by the traditional allowed d-d transitions as well as the metal-to-metal charge transfer (MMCT) transitions involving Nb⁵⁺ (4d⁰) ions and partially filled 3d electrons. The SHG studies indicate that the prepared compounds are SHG active. All the compounds exhibit reasonable dielectric behavior with low loss. The XPS studies confirm the oxidation states of the different substituted ions. Raman studies indicate variations in the bands due to the substitutions in the parent LiZnNbO₄ phase. Magnetic studies on the Co²⁺ ions substituted compounds suggest antiferromagnetic behavior.     

Synthesis,characterization, and solution properties of new heterocyclic tellurium compounds based on 5,6-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2-telluraindene

The synthesis and characterization of a new range of heterocyclic tellurium compounds based on 5,6-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2-telluraindene are reported. Conductivity measurements of most compounds in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) showed considerable ionic character in both solvents. ¹H and ¹³C NMR studies indicated that the telluronium salts are stable to reductive elimination and no reaction between solute and solvent was observed. Benzyl and allyl telluronium salts are exceptional. Infrared and mass spectral data are reported and discussed.     

Synthesis and complex study of potassium ammonium hexafluorozirconates: Ion mobility, phase transitions, and ionic conductivity in K2−n (NH4)nZrF6 compounds as probed by NMR, DTA, and impedance spectroscopy

The mobility of the fluoride and ammonium ions (180–480 K) in K_2?n (NH₄)_nZrF₆ compounds (0.2 ≤ n ≤ 1.80) has been studied by ¹⁹F and ¹H NMR. Correlations between the composition of the cationic sublattice, the character of ion motions, and the phase-transition temperature in these compounds have been established. The high-temperature modifications of compounds with n ≥ 1 are characterized by translational diffusion of ions in the fluoride and ammonium sublattices, and their ¹⁹F NMR spectra are characterized by uniaxial chemical shift anisotropy. The electrophysical properties of these compounds are studied in the range 300–480 K.     

Synthesis of new monodendrons,gallic acid derivatives,self- assembled in a columnar phase

This article describes the synthesis and liquid crystal properties of new compounds that are derived from gallic acid. All the compounds were characterised by ¹H and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR), Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and Elemental analysis (CHN). The mesophases of these compounds were characterised using polarising optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and SAXS measurements. The morphology of the surface of the films was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Compounds 9 and 13, which remain in a supercooled state until room temperature, do not exhibit liquid crystalline behaviour. The other compounds (i.e., 5, 7 and 8) self-assemble into tubular supramolecular architectures generating hexagonal columnar (Col_h) mesophases, which was confirmed by SAXS measurements.
