Die Kristallstruktur von Bis(N,N-diethyl-N′ -benzoylselenoureato)nickel(II)

The Crystal Structure of Bis(N,N-diethyl-N′ -benzoylselenoureato)nickel(II) Ni(C₁₂H₁₅N₂OSe)₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. The cell parameters are a = 11.399(3), b = 16.016(4), c = 14.910(6) Å, β = 104.64(3)° and Z = 4. The structure was solved with Patterson and direct methods and was refined to a final R-value of 5.43%. Nickel is coordinated to two N,N-diethyl-N′ -benzoylselenourea molecules to form a bidentally coordinated chelate complex with cis arrangement of the donor atoms. Coordinaton around the nickel atom is planar while the chelate rings diverge from planarity. The ethyl groups of one diethylamino group are disordered. The Ni? Se bond lengths are 2.244(1) and 2.264(1) Å, the Ni? O bond lengths are 1.871(4) and 1.883(4) Å, respectively.     

Copper(II) Complexes with N‐(9‐anthracenyl)‐N′‐(3‐pyridyl)urea (L) and a Derivative of L: Synthesis,Structure, and Fluorescent Properties

Three copper(II) complexes, [Cu₂(OAc)₄L₂] · 2CH₃OH ( 1 ), [CuBr₂L′₂(CH₃OH)] · CH₃OH ( 2a ), and [CuBr₂L′₂(DMSO)] · 0.5CH₃OH ( 2b ) {L = N‐(9‐anthracenyl)‐N′‐(3‐pyridyl)urea and L′ = N‐[10‐(10‐methoxy‐anthronyl)]‐N′‐(3‐pyridyl)urea} have been synthesized by the reaction of L with the corresponding copper(II) salts. Complex 1 shows a dinuclear structure with a conventional “paddlewheel” motif, in which four acetate units bridge the two Cu^II ions. In complexes 2a and 2b , the anthracenyl ligand L has been converted to an anthronyl derivative L′, and the central metal ion exhibits a distorted square pyramidal arrangement, with two pyridyl nitrogen atoms and two bromide ions defining the basal plane and the apical position is occupied by a solvent molecule (CH₃OH in 2a and DMSO in 2b ).     

The reduction of Ag(I) by α‐silylamines R2NCH2SiX3

The introduction of the organosilicon substituent into the α‐position of an amino group results in cardinal change of the amine reactivity irrespective of the coordination state of silicon. Amines R₂NCH₂SiX₃ [R = Me, Et, PhCH₂, CH₂SiX₃; SiX₃ = SiMe₃, Si(OEt)₃, Si(OCH₂CH₂)₃N] easily react with AgNO₃, to give the corresponding ammonium salts (R₂NH⁺ CH₂SiX₃)·NO₃^?. At the same time, Ag(I) is reduced to Ag(0). The interaction of N‐methyl‐N,N‐bis(silatranylmethyl)amine with AgNO₃ has been investigated by EPR spectroscopy. It was proven that the reaction involved a single electron transfer stage with the formation of cation radical of this amine. A mechanism of the reaction is proposed.

π–π Stacking‐Interlinked Molecular Squares with Hepta‐Coordinated Cadmium(II) Corners, [Cd(DMAP)3(NO2)2]·0.5H2O

The single crystal X‐ray analysis data of the new hepta‐coordinate cadmium(II) complex of N,N‐dimethyl‐N‐(4‐pyridyl)amine (DMPA), [Cd(DMPA)₃(NO₂)₂]·0.5H₂O, shows that the coordination environment around the Cd^II is pentagonal bipyramidal. Furthermore, self‐assembly of this complex as molecular squares that interlink via π–π stacking interactions is observed. This network contains voids that are filled by water molecules.     

Zinc (II), palladium (II) and cadmium (II) complexes containing 4‐methoxy‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylene) aniline derivatives: Synthesis,characterization and methyl methacrylate polymerization

A series of Zn (II), Pd (II) and Cd (II) complexes, [(L) _n MX ₂ ] _m (L = L‐a–L‐c; M = Zn, Pd; X = Cl; M = Cd; X = Br; n, m = 1 or 2), containing 4‐methoxy‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylene) aniline ( L‐a ), 4‐methoxy‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl) aniline ( L‐b ) and 4‐methoxy‐N‐methyl‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl) aniline ( L‐c ) have been synthesized and characterized. The X‐ray crystal structures of Pd (II) complexes [L ₁ PdCl ₂ ] (L = L‐b and L‐c) revealed distorted square planar geometries obtained via coordinative interaction of the nitrogen atoms of pyridine and amine moieties and two chloro ligands. The geometry around Zn (II) center in [(L‐a)ZnCl ₂ ] and [(L‐c)ZnCl ₂ ] can be best described as distorted tetrahedral, whereas [(L‐b) ₂ ZnCl ₂ ] and [(L‐b) ₂ CdBr ₂ ] achieved 6‐coordinated octahedral geometries around Zn and Cd centers through 2‐equivalent ligands, respectively. In addition, a dimeric [(L‐c)Cd(μ ‐ Br)Br] ₂ complex exhibited typical 5‐coordinated trigonal bipyramidal geometry around Cd center. The polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane was evaluated by all the synthesized complexes at 60°C. Among these complexes, [(L‐b)PdCl ₂ ] showed the highest catalytic activity [3.80 × 10⁴ g poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/mol Pd hr^?1], yielding high molecular weight (9.12 × 10⁵ g mol^?1) PMMA. Syndio‐enriched PMMA (characterized using ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy) of about 0.68 was obtained with T_g in the range 120–128°C. Unlike imine and amine moieties, the introduction of N‐methyl moiety has an adverse effect on the catalytic activity, but the syndiotacticity remained unaffected.     

Tuning the Molar Composition of “Charge‐Shifting” Cationic Copolymers Based on 2‐(N,N‐Dimethylamino)Ethyl Acrylate and 2‐(tert‐Boc‐Amino)Ethyl Acrylate

Copolymers of 2‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate (DMAEA) and 2‐(tert‐Boc‐amino)ethyl acrylate (t BocAEA) are synthesized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization in a controlled manner with defined molar masses and narrow molar masses distributions (Ð ≤ 1.17). Molar compositions of the P(DMAEA‐co‐t BocAEA) copolymers are assessed by means of ¹H NMR. A complete screening in molar composition is studied from 0% of DMAEA to 100% of DMAEA. Reactivity ratios of both comonomers are determined by the extended Kelen–Tüdos method (r _DMAEA = 0.81 and r_{t BocAEA} = 0.99).

     

Application of Cu(Hdmg)2 as a simple and cost‐effective catalyst for the convenient one‐pot reductive acetylation of aromatic nitro compounds

In this article, we have developed a novel and simple one‐pot reductive acetylation of aromatic nitro compounds with sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) in ethyl acetate (EtOAc) under reflux conditions in the presence of the bis(dimethylglyoximato)copper(II) complex [Cu(Hdmg)₂] as an efficient and cost‐effective copper‐containing catalyst. Notably, using the above‐mentioned one‐pot reaction, the corresponding acetamide derivatives were obtained in high to excellent yields.     

Efficient Synthesis of Triarylamines Catalyzed by Copper(I) Diazabutadiene Complexes

Cuprous chloride was coordinated by diazabutadiene (DAB‐R) ligands to form Cu(I)‐(DAB‐R) complexes, most of which have a 1:1 ratio of Cu to DAB‐R as reported. In the case of a special DAB‐ⁱPP, N,N′‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐1,4‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene, an unexpected composition of complex was found with the formula Cu(I)Cl(DAB)₂. When employed as catalyst for triarylamine synthesis from the coupling of aryl halides with primary and secondary arylamines, the new Cu(I)‐(DAB‐ⁱPP) complex displayed high efficiency.     

Synthesis and Structure of MnCl2(HDpyF) (HDpyF = N,N′‐di(2‐pyridyl)formamidine): New Crystallographic Disorder and Bonding Mode of the HDpyF Ligand

The reaction of N,N′‐di(2‐pyridyl)formamidine (HDpyF) with MnCl₂‐4H₂O afforded the complex MnCl₂(HDpyF), which was characterized by X‐ray crystallography. The HDpyF ligand chelates to the Mn(II) center through the first and the third nitrogen atoms to form a six‐membered ring, leaving the second and the fourth nitrogen atoms uncoordinated. The HDpyF ligand is crystallographically disordered such that two different molecules can be solved. The neutral HDpyF ligand adopts the new s‐cis‐syn‐s‐trans conformation.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Molybdenum(II) Complexes with the N,N‐dimethylthiocarbamoyl Containing Ligand: Crystal Structures of β [Mo(CO)2{η2‐S2P(OEt)2}(η2‐SCNMe2)(PPh3)] and [Mo(CO)2(η3‐Tp)(η2‐SCNMe2)(PPh3)]

Reactions of the thiocarbamoyl‐molybdenum complex [Mo(CO)₂(η²‐SCNMe₂)(PPh₃)₂Cl] 1 , and ammonium diethyldithiophosphate, NH₄S₂P(OEt)₂, and potassium tris(pyrazoyl‐1‐yl)borate, KTp, in dichloromethane at room temperature yielded the seven coordinated diethyldithiophosphate thiocarbamoyl‐molybdenum complexe [Mo(CO)₂{η²‐S₂P(OEt)₂}(η²‐SCNMe₂)(PPh₃)] β‐3 , and tris(pyrazoyl‐1‐yl)borate thiocabamoyl‐molybdenum complex [Mo(CO)₂(η³‐Tp)(η²‐SCNMe₂)(PPh₃)] 4 , respectively. The geometry around the metal atom of compounds β‐3 and 4 are capped octahedrons. The α‐ and β‐isomers are defined to the dithio‐ligand and one of the carbonyl ligands in the trans position in former and two carbonyl ligands in the trans position in later. The thiocabamoyl and diethyldithiophosphate or tris(pyrazoyl‐1‐yl)borate ligands coordinate to the molybdenum metal center through the carbon and sulfur and two sulfur atoms, or three nitrogen atoms, respectively. Complexes β‐3 and 4 are characterized by X‐ray diffraction analyses.     

Amphiphilic conetworks. II. Novel two‐step synthesis of poly[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate]–polyisobutylene,poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)–polyisobutylene,and poly(N,N‐dimethylacrylamide)–polyisobutylene hydrogels

Amphiphilic polymer conetworks consisting of hydrophilic poly[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate], poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide), or poly(N,N‐dimethylacrylamide) and hydrophobic polyisobutylene chains were synthesized with a novel two‐step procedure. In the first step, a methacrylate‐multifunctional polyisobutylene crosslinker was prepared by the cationic copolymerization of isobutylene with 3‐isopropenyl‐α,α‐dimethylbenzyl isocyanate. In the second step, the methacrylate‐multifunctional polyisobutylene crosslinker, with a number‐average molecular weight of 8200 and an average functionality of approximately 4 per chain, was copolymerized radically with 2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, N‐isopropylacrylamide, or N,N‐dimethylacrylamide into transparent amphiphilic conetworks containing 42–47 mol % hydrophilic monomer. The synthesized conetworks were characterized with solid‐state ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The amphiphilic nature of the conetworks was proved by swelling in both water and n‐heptane. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 6378–6384, 2006     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Binuclear Complex [Pr2(C10H8N2O4)2(C10H9N2O4)2(H2O)4]·3H2O·C6H6

The binuclear praseodymium(III) complex with N‐(1‐carboxyethylidene)‐salicylhydrazide (C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₄, H₂L) was prepared in H₂O‐C₂H₅OH mixed solution, and the crystal structure of [Pr₂L₂(HL)₂(H₂O)₄]·3H₂O·C₆H₆ was determined by X‐ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal complex crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P‐1, and in the structure each Pr atom is 9‐coordinated by carboxyl O and acyl O and azomethine N atoms of two tridentate ligands to form two stable five‐membered rings sharing one side in keto‐mode and two water molecules. The coordination polyhedron around Pr³⁺ was described as a monocapped square antiprism geometry. In an individual molecule, four tridentate ligands were coordinated by two negative univalent (HL) and two bivalent forms (L) respectively. Two negative univalent ligands were coordinated via μ₂‐bridging mode.     

A Convenient Method for the Preparation of 1,5‐Diaryl‐3‐(arylamino)‐1H‐pyrrol‐2(5H)‐ones

A simple and eco‐friendly method for the preparation of 1,5‐diaryl‐3‐(arylamino)‐1H‐pyrrol‐2(5H)‐ones via the cyclo‐condensation reaction of aldehydes, amines and ethyl pyruvate in the presence of silica supported ferric chloride (SiO₂‐FeCl₃) as reusable heterogeneous catalyst is described. The present methodology offers several advantages such as excellent yields, simple procedure and short reaction times.     

Syntheses,Spectroscopic, Structural,Fluorescent and Thermal Properties of Bis(saccharinato)copper(II) Complexes with two Bis(pyridylamine) Ligands

Two new copper(II) complexes of saccharinate (sac) with bis(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine (bpma) and N,N′‐bis[1‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)ethylidene]ethane‐1,2‐diamine (bapen), [Cu(bpma)(sac)₂] · H₂O ( 1 ) and [Cu(bapen)(sac)₂] ( 2 ), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, TG‐DTA, X‐ray diffraction, and UV/Vis and IR spectroscopy, respectively. In 1 , the copper(II) ion is coordinated by two N‐bonded sac ligands, and three nitrogen atoms of bpma, in a distorted square‐pyramidal coordination arrangement, whereas the arrangement around the copper ion in 2 is a distorted octahedron with two N‐coordinated sac ligands and a tetradentate bapen ligand. In addition to hydrogen bonding involving the water molecule in 1 , the mononuclear species of 1 and 2 are further connected by weak intermolecular C–H ··· π and C–H ··· O interactions to form a three‐dimensional network. Both complexes are luminescent at room temperature and their emissions seem to be due to ligand‐based π–π* transitions.     

N,N,N′,N′,N″‐penta(methyl acrylate)diethylenetriamine: A novel ligand for atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate

A novel ligand, N,N,N′,N′,N″‐penta (methyl acrylate) diethylenetriamine (MA₅‐DETA), was synthesized by the reaction of diethylenetriamine with methyl acrylate in almost quantitive yield. The polymerizations of methyl methacrylate with MA₅‐DETA as the ligand and α,α‐dichlorotoluene (DCT) and ethyl 2‐bromoisobutyrate (2‐EBiB) as the initiators, respectively, under different conditions were examined. The polymerization with CuCl/MA₅‐DETA/DCT was closely controlled in bulk and gave polymers with quite narrow molecular weight distributions (M_w/M_n's) of 1.16–1.29. The polymerization with the system CuBr/MA₅‐DETA/EBiB in bulk gave high activity. However, the system was not well controlled and gave the polymers with M_w/M_n = 1.35–1.53. The solution polymerization in anisole with CuBr/MA₅‐DETA/EBiB showed a better‐controlled nature. Moreover, the addition of CuBr₂ into the aforementioned system can further improve its controllability. The M_w/M_n's of the resulting polymers ranged from 1.11 to 1.21. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 1963–1969, 2004     

Two Novel Three‐Dimensional Lead(II) Coordination Polymers Involving 16‐Membered Rings: [Pb2(Bs‐glu)2(bipy)2] and [Pb2(Bs‐glu)2(phen)2]

The reaction of Pb(CH₃COO)₂·3H₂O with N‐benzesulfonyl‐L‐glutamic acid in the presence of 2, 2′‐bipyridine (bipy) or 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) produced two novel complexes [Pb₂(Bs‐glu)₂(bipy)₂] ( 1 ) and [Pb₂(Bs‐glu)₂(phen)₂] ( 2 ) (Bs‐glu = N‐benzesulfonyl‐L‐glutamic acid dianion). In 1 chains bearing alternative 16‐membered rings and Pb₂O₃ nodes are constructed from the interactions of Pb^II ions with the carboxylates of Bs‐glu ligands. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first lead(II) complex of carboxylates with the formation of chains of Pb₂O₃. In 2 the 16‐membered ring units are connected by centrosymmetric Pb₂O₂ nodes to form chains. Complexes 1 and 2 construct the 3‐D supramolecular architectures through versatile hydrogen bonds and π‐π stacking interactions.     

Ruthenium(II)‐Komplexe mit orthometallierten O'Donnell Schiffbasen (Diphenylmethylenglycinester) [1]

Ruthenium(II) Complexes of Orthometallated O'Donnell Schiff Bases (Diphenylmethylene Glycine Esters) [1] The reaction of diphenyl methylene glycine esters with [Ru(PPh₃)₃Cl₂] gives the orthometallated complexes [Ru(PPh₃)₂(Cl){(C₆H₄)(C₆H₅)C=NCH₂CO₂R}] (R = H, Et, CMe₃) in which the ester group is coordinated to the ruthenium atom and which were characterized by IR, NMR, MS data and by cyclovoltammetry.     

Four (2,2′‐bipyridyl)(ferrocenyl)boronium derivatives

Crystal structures are reported for four (2,2′‐bipyridyl)(ferrocenyl)boronium derivatives, namely (2,2′‐bipyridyl)(ethenyl)(ferrocenyl)boronium hexafluoridophosphate, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₇H₁₅BN₂)]PF₆, (Ib), (2,2′‐bipyridyl)(tert‐butylamino)(ferrocenyl)boronium bromide, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₉H₂₂BN₃)]Br, (IIa), (2,2′‐bipyridyl)(ferrocenyl)(4‐methoxyphenylamino)boronium hexafluoridophosphate acetonitrile hemisolvate, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₂₂H₂₀BN₃O)]PF₆·0.5CH₃CN, (IIIb), and 1,1′‐bis[(2,2′‐bipyridyl)(cyanomethyl)boronium]ferrocene bis(hexafluoridophosphate), [Fe(C₁₇H₁₄BN₃)₂](PF₆)₂, (IVb). The asymmetric unit of (IIIb) contains two independent cations with very similar conformations. The B atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination in all four structures. The cyclopentadienyl rings of (Ib), (IIa) and (IIIb) are approximately eclipsed, while a bisecting conformation is found for (IVb). The N—H groups of (IIa) and (IIIb) are shielded by the ferrocenyl and tert‐butyl or phenyl groups and are therefore not involved in hydrogen bonding. The B—N(amine) bond lengths are shortened by delocalization of π‐electrons. In the cations with an amine substituent at boron, the B—N(bipyridyl) bonds are 0.035 (3) Å longer than in the cations with a methylene C atom bonded to boron. A similar lengthening of the B—N(bipyridyl) bonds is found in a survey of related cations with an oxy group attached to the B atom.     

Synthesis and thermal behavior of poly(ethylene oxide) poly(N‐substituted urethane)

Poly(N‐substituted urethane)s with an alkyl or ligo(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether side chain were synthesized by the reaction operating in the following two‐step process: first, by metalation of the starting polymer with potassium tertiary butoxide (t‐BuOK) and then by treatment of the obtained urethane polyanion with tosylate in dimethyl sulfoxide. The thermal properties of poly(ethylene oxide) poly(N‐substituted urethane) (N‐sub PEOPU) were investigated in view of the N‐substitution degree and properties of the substituent. The chemical structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies. DSC and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to investigate the thermal properties of N‐sub PEOPUs. As the degree of N‐methylation increased, the glass‐transition temperature (T_g) of the N‐sub PEOPUs linearly decreased from 6 to ?29 °C, and the weight‐loss temperature of 5% (T) from TGA in air increased from 278 to 360 °C. In the fully N‐substituted PEOPUs, the behavior of the thermal decomposition of the PEOPU that was processed in two stages was changed to one‐step decomposition in the temperature range of 360–440 °C. The T_g was shifted to a lower temperature with an increasing length of the substituent in N‐sub PEOPU. Improvement of the thermal stability by N‐substitution was more significant in N‐alkyl PEOPU than in N‐ethoxylate PEOPU. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A new thermo‐responsive block copolymer with tunable upper critical solution temperature and lower critical solution temperature in the alcohol/water mixture

The multi‐thermo‐responsive block copolymer of poly[2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate]‐block‐poly[N‐(4‐vinylbenzyl)‐N,N‐diethylamine] (PMEO₂MA‐b‐PVEA) displaying phase transition at both the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in the alcohol/water mixture is synthesized by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The poly[2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate] (PMEO₂MA) block exhibits the UCST phase transition in alcohol and the LCST phase transition in water, while the poly[N‐(4‐vinylbenzyl)‐N,N‐diethylamine] (PVEA) block shows the UCST phase transition in isopropanol and the LCST phase transition in the alcohol/water mixture. Both the polymer molecular weight and the co‐solvent/nonsolvent exert great influence on the LCST or UCST of the block copolymer. By adjusting the solvent character including the water content and the temperature, the block copolymer undergoes multiphase transition at LCST or UCST, and various block copolymer morphologies including inverted micelles, core‐corona micelles, and corona‐collapsed micelles are prepared. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
