Conductivity measurements in DMSO and dimethylformamide (DMF) have shown that considerable ion pairing occurs in solution. Infrared, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹²⁵Te NMR, and mass spectra are reported and discussed.

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.     

Fast atom bombardment mass spectra of telluronium salts

The fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra of telluronium salts were studied. The spectra exhibit the intact cation (C⁺) and cluster ions ([M + C]⁺). The principal fragment ions in the FAB mass spectra of telluronium salts are [RTe]⁺, [R₂Te]⁺˙, [R₂Te − H]⁺, [RTeR′]⁺˙, and [RTeR′ + H]⁺. When the anion was [BPh₄]⁻, interesting cluster ions such as [M + C − BPh₃]⁺ appeared.     

Synthesis,IR/Raman,and quantum‐chemical structural analysis of new octathiotetraphosphetane ammonium salts

New octathiotetraphosphetane ammonium salts are obtained based on the reaction of white phosphorus (P₄) and elemental sulfur with aliphatic mercaptans in the presence of amines (morpholine , methylmorpholine, pyrrolidine, and N,N‐dimethylbenzylamine). Both the salts and novel Cu(I) chloride complex with the pyperidinium salt of octathiotetraphosphetane are characterized by IR/Raman spectroscopy in combination with DFT methods. The comparative spectral analysis reveals clear spectral features, characteristic for a P₄S₈⁴⁻ anion, which are present in IR and Raman spectra of all the compounds obtained. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Liquid Nickel Salts: Synthesis,Crystal Structure Determination,and Electrochemical Synthesis of Nickel Nanoparticles

New nickel‐containing ionic liquids were synthesized, characterized and their electrochemistry was investigated. In addition, a mechanism for the electrochemical synthesis of nanoparticles from these compounds is proposed. In these so‐called liquid metal salts, the nickel(II) cation is octahedrally coordinated by six N‐alkylimidazole ligands. The different counter anions that were used are bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Tf₂N^?), trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf^?) and methanesulfonate (OMs^?). Several different N‐alkylimidazoles were considered, with the alkyl sidechain ranging in length from methyl to dodecyl. The newly synthesized liquid metal salts were characterized by CHN analysis, FTIR, DSC, TGA and viscosity measurements. An odd‐even effect was observed for the melting temperatures and viscosities of the ionic liquids, with the complexes with an even number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain of the imidazole having a higher melting temperature and a lower viscosity than the complexes with an odd number of carbons. The crystal structures of several of the nickel(II) complexes that are not liquid at room temperature were determined. The electrochemistry of the compounds with the lowest viscosities was investigated. The nickel(II) cation could be reduced but surprisingly no nickel deposits were obtained on the electrode. Instead, nickel nanoparticles were formed at 100 % selectivity, as confirmed by TEM. The magnetic properties of these nanoparticles were investigated by SQUID measurements.     

Proton-coupled 13C NMR and {14N}—1H-INDOR of highly-substituted 6-membered heterocycles. I—trisubstituted pyridones and isomeric aminopyrones; tetrasubstituted pyridines

The structural elucidation by NMR spectroscopy of trisubstituted α-pyridones and the isomeric 2-amino-γ-pyrones as well as their internal and external pyrylium salts is described. The most useful parameter for the differentiation between α-pyridones and isomeric γ-pyrones is the geminal coupling constant ²J(C-6, H-5) which changes from ～2.5 Hz to ～7 Hz whenever the cyclic amide group is replaced by an oxa-function; this applies to both the γ-pyrones and their pyrylium salts. The value of J(C-6, H-5) in the pyridones resembles that of the analogous coupling in N-vinylacetamide, whose sign determination by the selective population inversion (SPI) technique is reported. The ¹³C chemical shifts of seven pyridones, pyrones and pyrylium salts are reported and their structural correlations are discussed. Quick structural assignments in these classes of compounds may also be performed by evaluating the ¹⁴N chemical shifts, which often are accessible by the {¹⁴N}—¹H-INDOR technique. The proton coupled ¹³C NMR spectra of two tetrasubstituted pyridines are also reported, and empirical correlations between long range C? H coupling constants and substituent electronegativity are discussed.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Crystal Structures of Various Energetic Urotropinium Salts with Azide,Nitrate, Dinitramide and Azotetrazolate Counter Ions

Urotropinium nitrate, N‐methylurotropinium azide, dinitramide and azotetrazolate salts have been prepared and fully characterized by analytical and spectoscopic (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁴N NMR, IR, Raman) methods. The structures of all four compounds have been determined using X‐ray diffraction techniques and represent new examples of the class of high energy density materials (HEDMs).     

Synthesis and activity of four (N,N‐dimethylamino)benzamide nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs based on thiazole and thiazoline

Four compounds derived from 2‐aminothiazole and 2‐amino‐2‐thiazoline were prepared by coupling the respective bases with the acid chlorides of either 3‐ or 4‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)benzoic acid. Products were identified using infrared spectroscopy, ¹H NMR spectroscopy and electrospray mass spectroscopy and in two cases by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Of the four, N‐(thiazol‐2‐yl)‐3‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)‐benzamide (1), N‐(thiazolin‐2‐yl)‐4‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)benzamide (2), N‐(thiazolin‐2‐yl)‐3‐(N,N‐dimethylamino) benzamide (3) and N‐(thiazolin‐2‐yl)‐4‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)benzamide (4), the hydrochloride salts of compounds 3 and 4 showed anti‐inflammatory activity across a concentration range of 10^?2?5 × 10^?4 M while 3 (at a concentration of 10^?5 M) was found to have no adverse effect on myocardial function. The X‐ray crystal structure of 2 and the 1:1 adduct structure of 3 with 3‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)benzoic acid are reported.     

Divalent NI Compounds: Identifying new Carbocyclic Carbenes to Design Nitreones using Quantum Chemical Methods

Nitreones are compounds with oxidation state 1 at the nitrogen, these compounds carry formal positive charge as well as two lone pairs of electrons at nitrogen center. These compounds are also known as divalent N^I compounds and can be represented with the general formula L → N⁺ ← L, where L is an electron donating ligand. In the recent past, several divalent N^I compounds have been reported with L = N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), remote N-heterocyclic carbene (rNHC), carbocyclic carbene (CCC) and diaminocarbene. Recently, our group reported that a novel six-membered CCC (cyclohexa-2,5-diene-4-[diaminomethynyl]-1-ylidene) can stabilize N⁺ center in nitreones. As an independent carbene, this species is very unstable. In this work, modulation of this CCC using (a) annulation, (b) heterocyclic ring modification, (c) substitutions adjacent to the carbenic carbon, (d) exocyclic double bond insertion and (e) ring contraction, has been reported. These modulations and quantum chemical analyses helped in the identification of five new six-membered CCCs which carry improved donation and stability properties. Further, these CCCs were employed in the design of new divalent N^I compounds (nitreones) which carry coordination bonds between ligands and N⁺ center. The molecular and electronic structure properties, and the donor→acceptor coordination interactions present in the resultant low oxidation state divalent N^I compounds have been explored.

2,5-Quinonemethides of 1,6-Methano[10]annulene with the Structures of S,N- and N,N-Acylketene Acetals Investigation on the chemical reactivities of 2-(tert -butoxy)-1,6-methano[10]annulene and the syntheses of the compounds 2, 4, 6–8, 11, 13–22 are described; the results of ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR-spectroscopic measurements are reported.     

Asymmetric N-heterocyclic carbene benzimidazolium salts and their silver(I) complexes: potential as ionic liquid crystals

The synthesis and characterisation of a homologous series of monodentate benzimidazolium salts, 1–4 and their mononuclear silver(I)–NHC (where NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes, 5–8, are reported. The benzimidazolium salts were prepared from the N-alkylation of 1-methyl-benzimidazole with alkyl halides of varying carbon chain lengths. The mono silver(I)-NHC complexes, 5–8, were prepared by the reaction of the benzimidazolium salts with Ag₂O. All the synthesised compounds were fully characterised by ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR), ¹³C-NMR and fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The molecular structures of compounds 3·PF₆, 4·PF₆, 7 and 8 were elucidated through single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. We postulate that the attachment of long alkyl chains to the heterocyclic core of 1-methyl benzimidazole could induce mesophase formation. The liquid crystalline behaviour of the benzimidazolium salts was investigated by polarised optical microscope and differential scanning calorimetry. Salts 3 and 4 were found to be thermotropic liquid crystals which exhibited a smectic A phase. However, upon complexation with silver(I) ions, all the Ag(I)–NHC complexes are found to be non-mesogenic.     

Preparation and Structures of 2‐Substituted 5‐Benzyl‐3‐methylimidazolidin‐4‐one‐Derived Iminium Salts,Reactive Intermediates in Organocatalytic Transformations Involving α,β‐Unsaturated Aldehydes

Preparations of the title compounds, 5 – 7 (Scheme 1 and Table 1), of their ammonium salts, 9 – 11 (Scheme 2 and Table 2), and of the corresponding cinnamaldehyde‐derived iminium salts 12 – 14 (Scheme 3 and Table 3) are reported. The X‐ray crystal structures of 15 cinnamyliminium PF₆ salts have been determined (Table 4). Selected ¹H‐NMR data (Table 5) of the ammonium and iminium salts are discussed, and structures in solution are compared with those in the solid state.     

Synthesis and characterization of model compounds for carbazole-substituted N-acylated linear polyethylenimine (PEI). Synthesis and 1H-NMR spectra of N-acylated diethylamine and N,N′-dimethyl-1,2-ethanediamine containing 9-carbazolylacetyl, (R,S)- or (R)-2-(9-carbazolyl)propanoyl groups

The synthesis of N,N-diethyl-9-carbazolylacetamide ( 6 ), (R,S)- and (R)-N,N-diethyl-2-(9-carbazolyl)propanamide ( 7 ), N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-di-(9-carbazolylacetyl)-1,2-ethanediamine ( 11 ), and (R)-N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-di[2-(9-carbazolyl)propanoyl]-1,2-ethanediamine ( 13 ) is reported. The racemic compound, (R,S)-2-(9-carbazolyl)propanoic acid ( 2 ), was resolved by partial crystallization of the diastereomeric salts formed between 2 and (+)-α-methylbenzylamine. The ¹H-NMR spectra of 6 and 7 showed magnetic nonequivalence of the chemically equivalent protons of the methyl and methylene groups in 6 and 7 due to partial double bond character of the amide bond. The upfield resonances corresponding to the two sets of methyl and methylene protons were assigned by the aromatic solvent-induced shift (ASIS) method to the protons anti to the carbonyl oxygen in the conformation of amide bond in 6 and 7 . The ¹H-NMR spectra of 11 and (R)- 13 were used to determine the population of anti-anti, anti-syn (syn-anti) and syn-syn conformers in the structures of these dimer model compounds; the relative conformer populations were 0.45:0.47:0.08 and 0.28±0.02:0.29±0.01:0.43±0.01 in 11 and (R)- 13 .     

Oxygen versus nitrogen interactions in lithium dinitramidate dihydrate and pyridinium dinitramidate

The title compounds, diaquadinitramidatolithium(I), [Li(N₃O₄)(H₂O)₂], (I), and pyridinium dinitramidate, C₅H₆N⁺·N₃O₄⁻, (II), differ significantly in their cation–anion contacts. The Li⁺ atom of (I) is coordinated by two O atoms of the dinitramide anion in a chelate and by four additional water molecules, with the Li and central N atom of the anion on a twofold rotation axis. The pyridinium cation of (II) exhibits a contact with the dinitramide anion via an intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bridge. These interactions are compared with those found in reported anhydrous lithium dinitramide and ammonium dinitramide salts.     

Study of Ground State Interactions of Enantiopure Chiral Quaternary Ammonium Salts and Amides,Nitroalkanes, Nitroalkenes,Esters, Heterocycles,Ketones and Fluoroamides

Chiral phase-transfer catalysis provides high level of enantiocontrol, however no experimental data showed the interaction of catalysts and substrates. ¹H NMR titration was carried out on Cinchona and Maruoka ammonium bromides vs. nitro, carbonyl, heterocycles, and N−F containing compounds. It was found that neutral organic species and quaternary ammonium salts interacted via an ensemble of catalyst ⁺N−C−H and (sp²)C−H, specific for each substrate studied. The correspondent BArF salts interacted with carbonyls via a diverse set of ⁺N−C−H and (sp²)C−H compared to bromides. This data suggests that BArF ammonium salts may display a different enantioselectivity profile. Although not providing quantitative data for the affinity constants, the data reported proofs that chiral ammonium salts coordinate with substrates, prior to transition state, through specific C−H positions in their structures, providing a new rational to rationalize the origin of enantioselectivity in their catalyses.     

4‐Nitro‐3‐(5‐tetrazole)furoxan and Its Salts: Synthesis,Characterization, and Energetic Properties

A series of new energetic salts based on 4‐nitro‐3‐(5‐tetrazole)furoxan (HTNF) has been synthesized. All of the salts have been fully characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H and ¹³C), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystal structures of neutral HTNF ( 3 ) and its ammonium ( 4 ) and N‐carbamoylguanidinium salts ( 9 ) have been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The densities of 3 and its nine salts were found to range from 1.63 to 1.84 g cm^?3. Impact sensitivities have been determined by hammer tests, and the results ranged from 2 J (very sensitive) to >40 J (insensitive). Theoretical performance calculations (Gaussian 03 and EXPLO 5.05) provided detonation pressures and velocities for the ionic compounds 4 – 12 in the ranges 25.5–36.2 GPa and 7934–8919 m s^?1, respectively, which make them competitive energetic materials.     

Gold(III) complexes with imidazole,benzoxazole, purine and pyrimidine derivatives

Summary The synthesis and characterization of Au^III complexes with several heterocyclic ligands are reported. The compounds have general formula [AuX₃(L)], where L =N-methylimidazole (N-MeIz),N-ethylimidazole (N-EtIz),N-propylimidazole (N-PrIz), benzoxazole (BO), 2-methylbenzoxazole (2-MeBO), 2,5-dimethylbenzoxazole (2,5-diMeBO), 2-amino-pyrimidine (2-APm), 4(6) -hydroxy-pyrimidine [4(6)-hydrPm] or hypoxanthine (Hypox) and X = Cl or Br. Elemental analysis, conductivity measurements and spectral studies were used for the characterization of the complexes. A square-planar geometry withN-bonded heterocyclic ligands is suggested.

New Low‐Molecular‐Mass Gelators Based on L‐Lysine: Amphiphilic Gelators and Water‐Soluble Organogelators

The new L ‐lysine alkali‐metal salts 1 – 5 (M⁺=Na⁺ and K⁺) with different alkyl groups at the N^α‐position were easily synthesized, and their hydro‐ and organogelation properties were investigated. All compounds were H₂O‐soluble, and some salts, especially the potassium salts, functioned as a hydrogenator that could gel water below 2 wt‐%. These salts also had organogelation abilities for many organic solvents.
