Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Four Zinc Complexes Containing 3,5‐Dimethylpyrazole and Carboxylate Ligands

Four new zinc(II) complexes Zn₂(μ‐dmpz)₂(Hdmpz)₂(L1)₂ ( 1 ) (Hdmpz = 3,5‐dimethylpyrazole, HL1 = 2‐methyl‐2‐phenoxypropanoic acid), Zn(Hdmpz)₂(L2)₂ ( 2 ) [HL2 = 2‐hydroxy‐5‐(phenyldiazenyl)benzoic acid], Zn₂(μ‐dmpz)₂(Hdmpz)₂(L3)₂ ( 3 ) [HL3 = 3,4‐(methylenedioxy)benzoic acid], and Zn₂(μ‐dmpz)₂(Hdmpz)₂(L4)₂ ( 4 ) [HL4 = 3‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)acrylic acid] were prepared and structurally characterized by different techniques including elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The X‐ray studies suggested that all these complexes except compound 2 are centrosymmetric dinuclear complexes with a tetrahedral arrangement around each zinc ion, whereas compound 2 is a mononuclear complex. The pyrazole ligand is coordinated in both terminal as well as a bridging fashion in the dinuclear moiety, whereas the pyrazole ligand in compound 2 is coordinated only in monodentate terminal fashion with its neutral nitrogen group. In all four complexes the carboxylate functions behave as monodentate ligands. All complexes show intramolecular hydrogen bonding of N–H ··· O between N–H of pyrazole and nonbonded oxygen atom of carboxylate. Furthermore, rich intermolecular weak interactions such as classical hydrogen bonds, C–H ··· O, C–H ··· N, C–H ··· π, and CH₃–π interactions exist and complexes 1 – 4 display a set of 3D superamolecular frameworks. In addition, the four compounds are thermally stable below 150 °C.     

Dynamics of Ligands and Water Molecules in Trinuclear Carboxylate Complexes

Inelastic incoherent neutron scattering experiments can be used successfully to study the dynamics of ligands and hydrate water molecules. For assignment of the observed signals, however, the investigation of samples with different degrees of deuteration is necessary. The possible intramolecular coupling of the various water bands (OH stretching, H(2)O bending, and H(2)O rocking modes) must be reexamined, as shown with the example of a trinuclear chromium acetate complex.     

Thin Layer Chromatographic Detection and Separation of Metal Ion Complexes with Tridentate Schiff Base

The Tridentate chelating, system present in Salicylidine o-amino benzoic acid was used for complexation with Cu (11), Ni (11), Co (11) and Pd (11). The thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) detection and separation of these complexes on Silica gel (G) layers was studied. The coloured spots of the complexes were quite visible without any visualizing agent. A maximum of four complexes could be resolved and identified. The coloured zones were eluted with solvent and characterise by elemental analysis and spectral studies. Colour of the complexes at λ_max was measured.

Oxo-Centered Trinuclear Chromium(III) Complexes with Both Carboxylate and Amidoximate Ligands

Compounds [Cr ₃ ^III (μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₅(H₂N-sao)(EtOH)₂]·EtOH (1·EtOH) and [Cr ₃ ^III (μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₃(H₂N-pao)₃]NO₃·H₂N-paoH·EtOH (2·NO₃·H₂N-paoH·EtOH) have been obtained either in a sequential one-pot, two-step procedure in which Cr(NO₃)₃·9H₂O is first reacted with sodium benzoate in ethanol under reflux, followed by the addition of salicylamidoxime (H₂N-saoH₂) or pyridine-2-amidoxime (H₂N-paoH), or in a one-step protocol starting from [Cr ₃ ^III (μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₆(EtOH)₃]NO₃. They were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetometry and EPR spectroscopy. Complexes 1 and 2 are derived from the parent complex [Cr ₃ ^III (μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₆(EtOH)₃]⁺ by replacement of one and three benzoate ligands, respectively, by oximate ligands. The salicylamidoximate and pyridine-2-amidoximate ligands display a tridentate coordination mode with the N–O oximate group bridging a pair of Cr atoms and the additional ligating atom substituting for an ethanol ligand of the parent complex. In both cases susceptibility, magnetization and EPR data reveal a S _T = 1/2 ground state with a nearly isotropic g-tensor.     

Chromatographic Zinc Isotope Separation by Chelating Exchange Resin

Zinc isotope separations were studied by displacement chromatography using the chelating properties of malate, citrate and lactate exchange resin and EDTA as ligands. After each chromatographic operation, the heavier zinc isotopes were found to preferentially fractionated into the carboxylate complex solution phase. The separation coefficients (ε) for zinc isotope separation had the largest value and were obtained for the isotopic pairs ⁶⁸Zn/⁶⁴Zn (7.16 × 10^?4) and ⁶⁶Zn/⁶⁴Zn (3.08 × 10^?4), respectively, at 298 ± 1 K. The separation coefficient per unit mass differences (ε/ΔM) for the isotopic pair of ⁶⁸Zn/⁶⁴Zn was found to range around 1.55 × 10^?4.

New Dinuclear Ru2(CO)4 Sawhorse‐Type Complexes Containing Bridging Carboxylato Ligands

The thermal reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with ethacrynic acid, 4‐[bis(2‐chlorethyl)amino]benzenebutanoic acid (chlorambucil), or 4‐phenylbutyric acid in refluxing solvents, followed by addition of two‐electron donor ligands (L), gives the diruthenium complexes Ru₂(CO)₄(O₂CR)₂L₂ ( 1 : R = CH₂O‐C₆H₂Cl₂‐COC(CH₂)C₂H₅, L = C₅H₅N; 2 : R = CH₂O‐C₆H₂Cl₂‐COC(CH₂)C₂H₅, L = PPh₃; 3 : R = C₃H₆‐C₆H₄‐N(C₂H₄‐Cl)₂, L = C₅H₅N; 4 : R = C₃H₆‐C₆H₄‐N(C₂H₄‐Cl)₂, L = PPh₃; 5 : R = C₃H₆‐C₆H₅, L = C₅H₅N; 6 : R = C₃H₆‐C₆H₅, L = PPh₃). The single‐crystal structure analyses of 2 , 3 , 5 and 6 reveal 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 of the diruthenium unit.

Two Zinc Complexes Supported by in situ Formed Etheric Ligands

Two zinc complexes, [Zn(MPIP)Cl2](1) and [Zn(EPIP)Cl2](2), where MPIP = 1-(methoxymethyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine and EPIP = 1-(ethoxymethyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine, were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. The etheric ligand MPIP was formed in situ via metal ligand reaction between(3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-1-yl)methanol(HPIPM) and methanol solvent. Similarly, the ligand EPIP was generated in situ from the reaction of HPIPM with ethanol solvent. The structures of 1 and 2 were characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. They are four-coordinated mononuclear complexes, and the ZnII ion of 1 and 2 displays distorted tetrahedral geometry. The photoluminescent properties of 1 and 2 were investigated. Strong emissions were observed for both 1 and 2, which were ascribed as the intraligand(π-π*) fluorescent transitions. This paper provides a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of etheric compounds.     

Formation of Oligo-Nuclear Carboxylate Nickel(II) Complexes with Nitrogen-Containing Ligands. Quantum-Chemical Simulation

Using the DFT method PBE0/6-31G(d, p) and taking into account the solvent, the formation of bi- and pentahedral Ni(II) complexes with carboxylate and N-containing ligands in the gas phase was studied, and ΔG° of their formation from simple compounds was estimated. The functional role of bridging groups and hydrogen bonds in the formation of polynuclear structures was revealed. A model of self-organization of penta-nuclear coordination compounds [Ni^II₅(O₂CR)₈L_2n(μ-OH)₂]⁰ from binuclear complex [Ni^II₂(O₂CR)₄L_n(μ-H₂O)]⁰ was proposed, into the structure of which mononuclear Ni^II cations are embedding and promote proton transfer from bridging aqua ligands.

     

Riboswitches Based on Kissing Complexes for the Detection of Small Ligands

Biosensors derived from aptamers were designed for which folding into a hairpin shape is triggered by binding of the cognate ligand. These aptamers (termed aptaswitches) thus switch between folded and unfolded states in the presence and absence of the ligand, respectively. The apical loop of the folded aptaswitch is recognized by a second hairpin called the aptakiss through loop–loop or kissing interactions, whereas the aptakiss does not bind the unfolded aptaswitch. Therefore, the formation of a kissing complex signals the presence of the ligand. Aptaswitches were designed that enable the detection of GTP and adenosine in a specific and quantitative manner by surface plasmon resonance when using a grafted aptakiss or in solution by anisotropy measurement with a fluorescently labeled aptakiss. This approach is generic and can potentially be extended to the detection of any molecule for which hairpin aptamers have been identified, as long as the apical loop is not involved in ligand binding.

Alkylation of Carboxylate Salts of Acidic Herbicides for Gas Chromatographic Analysis

Abstract

The methyl esters of 2-methoxy-3, 6-dichlorobenzoic acid and three phenoxyacetic acids were prepared by the admixture of an excess of both methyl iodide and anhydrous alkali-metal carbonate to a solution of the carboxylic acids in acetone. The reaction was completed within the shortest period of time when cesium carbonate was used, and the reaction mixture was injected without further work-up into a gas chromatograph fitted with a flame ionization detector. Further reduction of reaction time was achieved by heating the mixture to 50°C and by ultrasonic treatment; this technique is also suitable for esterification of microliter quantities and obviates the need for a microrefluxer. Butylesters of 2, 4-D and 2, 4, 5-T were prepared in an analogous manner. The methyl esters of 2, 4-D and 2, 4, 5-T, and the butyl ester of 2, 4-D were obtained in better than 90% yield.
