Synthesis of new 4,4′-bis(arylethynyl)benzophenones and 4,4′-bis(arylglyoxalyl)benzophenones based on chloral

4,4-Diiodobenzophenone was obtained by a three-stage synthesis from chloral and iodobenzene. 4,4-Bis(arylethynyl)benzophenones were synthesized by cross-coupling of 4,4-diiodobenzophenone with terminal arylethynes in the presence of a complex Pd catalyst; further oxidation of the products obtained in an iodine/DMSO medium afforded new bis(arylglyoxalyl)benzophenones.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Bidimensional chronoabsorptometric study of electropolymerisation of 4,4′-bis(2-methylbutylthio)-2,2′-bithiophene

Bidimensional chronoabsorptometry is a novel spectroelectrochemical technique that monitors simultaneously three different signals: current and absorbance both normal to the electrode plane and parallel to this plane during a time in which a fixed potential is imposed. This technique is applied in the visible range to the study of the electropolymerisation of 4,4^′-bis(2-methylbutylthio)- 2,2^′-bithiophene (MBTBT). Experiments are performed in a spectroelectrochemical cell under finite diffusion conditions (thin layer cell) with the aim of interpreting the processes taking place both at the electrode surface and in the adjacent solution during the potentiostatic electrogeneration and deposition of the polymer. Correlations are drawn out among the trends of the oligomers concentration in solution, the polymer electrodeposition and charging, and the current flow, on the time scales of the different steps of the process.     

Crystallographic and computational study of the structure of copper(II) 2,2′-bis(2-oxidobenzylideneamino)-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl

The reaction of M(OAc)₂ with 2,2′-bis(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl (H₂L1) allows the synthesis of 2,2′-bis(2-oxidobenzylideneamino)-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl complexes of Cu(II) (CuL1), Co(II) (CoL1) and Ni(II) (NiL1) that were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and for CuL1 also by X-ray crystallography verifying a tetradentate binding mode of L1 via an (ONNO) motif of the two phenolic oxygen atoms and two azomethine nitrogen atoms. Recrystallization from a solvent mixture of dichloromethane and methanol promotes the formation of methanol adducts. Different binding modes of the methanol–complex were investigated using density functional theory calculations and binding energies, and thermodynamic data of the interaction are reported. The results show that the favored interaction occurs when the methanol molecule acts as a Lewis acid weakly binding via an O–H···O hydrogen bridge to a phenoxide moiety leading to an elongation of the respective M–O bond.

     

Synthesis and applications of (R)- and (S)-7,7′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene

The synthesis of (R)- and (S)-7,7′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene 5a and 5b is described. The phosphorus atoms in (S)-(−)-5b are shown to be slightly more basic than the phosphorus atoms in (S)-BINAP by comparing the magnitude of the ¹J (³¹P–⁷⁷Se) coupling constant in their respective diselenide derivatives. (S)-(−)-5b behaved similarly to (S)-BINAP in asymmetric Heck reactions.

Determination of manganese(VII) as 3,3′-Dianisole-4,4′-bis(3,5-diphenyltetrazolium chloride) complex and its application

A simple, rapid, selective and sensitive spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of trace amounts of manganese using Blue tetrazolium chloride as a chromogenic reagent. The method is based on the formation of ion-associate complex between manganese(VII) and the cation of ditetrazolium salt, having an absorption maximum at 255 nm. Beer’s law is obeyed in the range of 0.1–1.6 μg mL^?1. The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity were found to be 4.97 × 10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?1 and 1.11 × 10^?3 μg cm^?2, respectively. Limit of deterction is 6.86 ng mL^?1 Mn(VII) and limit of quantitation is 22.8 ng mL^?1 Mn(VII). Optimum reaction conditions were evaluated. The effect of interfering ions on the determination is described. The extraction, distribution and association constants, and the recovery factor have been calculated.     

Synthesis and structures of 4,5-dimethyl-1,3-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazolium chloride and 1,1′-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-2,2′-bis(4,5-dimethylimidazole)

Summary Ten derivatives of 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphine)ferrocene (BDPF) are described in this paper. The first three, [BDPF·SnCl₄] (1), [BDPF·MeSnCl₃] (2) and [BDPF·PhSnCl₃] (3), present the two phosphorus atoms of the ligand directly bonded to a Sn centre. Two others, [BDPF-PdCl₂ (4) and [BDPF·PtCl₂] (5), similarly have the ligand BDPF acting as a bidentate species towards a transition metal. The crystal and molecular structures of (4) and (5) are presented here. Two other BDPF complexes were obtained with Pd and Pt, with the transition metals in the zerovalent state, namely [Pd(BDPF)₂] (6) and [Pt(BDPF)₂] (7). Finally, three trimetallic complexes are also described; [BDPF·Pd(-Cl)₂SnCl₂] (8), [BDPF· Pt(-Cl)₂SnCl₂] (9) and [BDPF·PdClSnCl₃] (10).

Synthesis and structure of 1,1′-bis(pentafluorophenyl)tetrahydrodigermane

Dehydrogenation of pentafluorophenylgermane in the presence of catalytic amounts of a Wilkinson complex, certain Rh^I ortho-benzosemiquinolate complexes, or (Ph₃P)₄Pt leads to tetrahydrodigermane, C₆F₅H₂GeGeH₂C₆F₅. X-ray analysis has confirmed thetrans-arrangement of the C₆F₅-cycles at the Ge atoms. The Ge-Ge bond length is 2.394(1) Å. The doublet pattern of the band due to the Ge-H bonds (v 2090 and 2104 cm^–1) in the IR spectrum is probably associated with nonequivalence of the hydrogen atoms in the molecule.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and spectral analysis of alkyl-substituted 3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethenes)

Four new alkyl-substituted 3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethene) dihydrobromides containing from 4 to 10 alkyl substituents were synthesized. In a highly alkylated ligand of these substances one of the hydrogen atoms of the 3,3′-methylene spacer was substituted with a phenyl group. The compounds obtained were studied by IR, ¹H NMR, electron absorption, and fluorescent spectroscopy. The increased alkylation degree of pyrroles and the introduction of an aryl substituent in the 3,3′-spacer causes a significant high-frequency shift of the N-H stretching vibrations in the IR spectra, an upfield shift of the NH-proton signals in 1H NMR spectra, a decrease in the auxochromic effects of protons on the aromatic system of chromophore in the composition of salts. The red shift of maximum of the strong band in electron absorption spectra and the emission spectra of compounds in DMF, DMSO, C₅H₅N, C₆H₆, and CHCl₃ was established. The salts obtained are stable in benzene and chloroform, while in electron-donor solvents the irreversible processes of solvolytic dissociation of salts to free organic base and HBr take place.
