The vibrational spectra of cis,cis-,trans,trans- and cis,trans-1,4-dichloro-1,3-butadiene

The i.r. spectra of cis,cis,trans,_trans and cis,trans-1,4-dichloro-1,3-butadiene were recorded in cyclohexane solution in the region 600-40 cm⁻¹. Raman spectra, including polarization measurements of the neat liquids were obtained. Some previously unobserved fundamentals, particularly in the low frequency region, were assigned, and a few revisions in the earlier interpretations were made.Force fields containing 21 parameters for the cis,cis and the trans,trans compounds were constructed by transferring force constants from cis- and trans-1-chloro-1,3-butadiene. By mixing the force constants from these monochlorobutadienes a 29 parameter force field was derived for the cis,trans compound. The calculated r.m.s. amplitudes of vibration and perpendicular amplitude correction coefficients are presented.

Metal-organic frameworks from homometallic chains of nickel(II) and 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate connectors: ferrimagnet-ferromagnet transformation

The hydrothermal reactions of nickel(II) nitrate with a mixture of the geometric cis and trans isomers of 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (1,4-chdc or C6H10(COOH)2) and a base yield three structurally different complexes, [Ni3(mu3-OH)2(mu4-cis-1,4-chdc)2(H2O)4].2H2O (1), [Ni(3)(mu3-OH)2(mu4-trans-1,4-chdc)2(H2O)4].4H2O (2), and [Ni(H2O)4(mu2-trans-1,4-chdc)], depending on the reaction conditions. The single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of 1 and 2 reveal segregation of the isomers and formation of frameworks based on infinite Ni3(OH)2(H2O)4 chains, acting as secondary building units, connected by either cis- or trans-chdc for 1 and 2, respectively. The frameworks sustain channels that house two or four water molecules, respectively, according to the size and shape of the channels that depend on the particular isomer. The structure of 3 consists of chains of square-planar Ni(H2O)4 bridged by trans-chdc. Magnetic data as a function of temperature and field of the virgin samples for 1 indicate long-range ordering (LRO) to a ferrimagnetic ground state at 2.1 K that is reversibly transformed into a ferromagnet below 4.4 K upon partial dehydration and rehydration. Powder X-ray diffraction of 1, in its virgin state, after dehydration and after rehydration, confirms the stability of the framework. The magnetic data for 2 tend toward a LRO state to possibly a ferrimagnet below 2 K. The temperature dependence of the susceptibility of the two compounds is accounted for by the presence of both ferro- and antiferromagnetic exchanges within each chain via Ni-O-Ni and Ni-O-C-O-Ni pathways and weak coupling between neighboring chains via the 1,4-chdc unit. 3 is a uniform s = 1 antiferromagnetic chain (J/kB = 2.27(1) K).     

Metal-organic frameworks constructed from 2,4,6-Tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine

Five new metal-organic frameworks based on 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpt) ligand have been hydrothermally synthesized. Reaction of tpt and AgNO 3 in an acidic solution at 180 degrees C yields {[Ag(Htpt)(NO3)]NO(3).4H2O}n (1).Ag(I) is trigonally coordinated by two pyridyl nitrogen and one nitrato oxygen to form a 1D zigzag chain. Reaction of tpt with CuSO4 affords {[Cu2(tpt)2(SO4)2(H2O)2].4H2O}n (2). Copper(II) is bonded to two pyridyl nitrogen, two sulfato oxygen, and two water oxygen atoms to form an elongated octahedral geometry. Each H2O ligand bridges two copper(II), whereas sulfate bridges copper(II) via micro-1,3 and micro-1,1 fashions. The copper(II)-sulfate-H2O2D layers are linked by bidentate tpt to form a 3D polymeric structure. Reaction of Cu(SO4)2, tpt, and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H4btec) in the presence of piperidine gives [Cu(tpt)(H2btec)1/2]n (3). Copper(I) is located in a trigonal-pyramidal coordination environment and coordinated by three pyridyl nitrogen of tpt in a plane, whereas a carboxylate oxygen is coordinated to the copper(I) axially. The tpt-Cu forms a layer, and the layers are linked through H 2btec2- to form a 2D double-layered coordination polymer. Replacing CuSO4 with ZnI2 in the synthesis gives {[Zn(tpt)(btec)1/2].H2O}n (4). Zinc(II) is in a distorted tetrahedral geometry and linked through bidentate tpt and exotetradentate btec4- to form a 2D coordination grid. Reaction of tpt with CuCN leads to the assembly of a 3D metal-organic framework [Cu3(CN)3(tpt)]n (5). Copper(I) is trigonally coordinated by one pyridyl nitrogen and two cyanides to form an intriguing honeycomb architecture. Luminescence study shows that 1, 3, 4, and 5 have blue fluorescence, which can be assigned to be ligand-centered emissions. Thermal analysis shows that all of these complexes are quite stable, and especially for 4, the framework is stable up to 430 degrees C.

Photoisomerization of cis,cis- to trans,trans-1,4-diaryl-1,3-butadienes in the solid state: the bicycle-pedal mechanism

The photoisomerizations of crystalline or powdered cis,cis-1,4-diphenyl- and 1,4-di(o-tolyl)-1,3-butadienes (cc-DPB and cc-DTB) to the trans,trans isomers were studied at room temperature. The progress of the reactions was monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, (1)H NMR, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Conversions to the trans,trans isomers were as high as 90% for cc-DPB and 20% for cc-DTB. Formation of the cis,trans isomers, the sole products obtained in solution and in very viscous glassy media at 77 K, is completely suppressed in the solid state. The observed two-bond photoisomerizations are explained by the bicycle-pedal (BP) photoisomerization mechanism. X-ray structure determinations show that o-methyl substitution causes a widening of the phenyl/diene dihedral angles from 40 degrees to 56 degrees and decreases the number of conformers in the crystal from two in cc-DPB to one in cc-DTB. The two conformers of cc-DPB molecules exist in crystals in edge-to-face alternating arrays, one of which has the two phenyls in parallel planes and the other in roughly perpendicular planes. The edge-to-face relationship is maintained in cc-DTB, but only the conformer with the o-tolyl groups in parallel planes is present. The time evolutions of fluorescence spectra measured in the course of the photoreaction show remarkable similarities, despite the different molecular conformations and crystal packing arrangements. Principal component analyses of the spectral matrices indicate the formation of discrete components, suggesting that the two-bond photoisomerizations proceed in stages involving molecules in different microcrystal environments. The structureless appearances of the initial fluorescence spectra show that the reactions are in part diabatic. The BP mechanism can account for the observations if the bicycle-pedal motion began in the excited state, S(1), and were completed in the ground state, S(0). Analysis of void spaces in the crystal lattice reveals much less compact packing of cc-DPB than of cc-DTB molecules, possibly explaining the much higher conversions to photoproduct from cc-DPB.     

Syntheses and characterizations of metal complexes derived from cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane-N,N',N"-triacetic acid

A convenient six-step procedure is developed to routinely prepare the hexadentate ligand cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane-N,N',N"-triacetic acid (H3tachta) as an HCl salt. Complexes of gallium(III) and indium(III), [Ga(tachta)] and [In(tachta)], are synthesized from the reactions of the ligand and the corresponding metal precursors. Copper(II), palladium(II), and cobalt(II) complexes, [Cu(Htachta)], [Pd(Htachta)], and [Co(Htachta)], are obtained from the reactions of H3tachta with the corresponding metal chlorides. The structures of H3tachta.3HCl.2H2O (C12H28Cl3N3O8) and [Ga(tachta)] (C12H18GaN3O6) are characterized. The crystal of H3tachta.3HCl.2H2O is monoclinic, of the space group P2(1)/c, with a = 15.1688(4) A, b = 8.4708(2) A, c = 15.9408(2) A, beta = 108.058(1) degrees, and Z = 4; that of [Ga(tachta)] is cubic, of space group Pa3, with a = 14.0762(1) A and Z = 8. The gallium atom of [Ga(tachta)] is six-coordinated in the solid state, and the complex assumes a pseudooctahedronal geometry with the completely deprotonated hexadentate ligand encapsulating the metal ion.     

Quantitative estimation of trans-1,4 and cis-1,4 isomers in polychloroprene by high-resolution NMR

In the ¹H-NMR spectrum of polychloroprene dissolved in C₆D₆, the ?CH proton signal was separated into two triplet peaks. These triplet signals were assigned to the ?CH proton in the trans-1,4 and cis-1,4 isomers by measurement of ¹H-NMR spectra of 3-chloro-1-butene and a mixture of trans- and cis-2-chloro-2-butene as model compounds for the 1,2, trans-1,4 and cis-1,4 isomers. In ¹H-NMR spectra (220 Mcps) of polychloroprene dissolved in C₆D₆, two triplet signals were separated completely from which the relative concentrations of trans-1,4 and cis-1,4 isomers could be obtained quantitatively.

Synthesis and X-ray molecular structure of cis,cis-1,3,5-Tris(diphenylphosphino)- 1,3,5-tris(methoxycarbonyl) cyclohexane

The novel tripodal phosphine ligand cis, cis-1,3,5-tris(diphenylphosphino)-1,3,5-tris(methoxycarbonyl)cyclohexane (tdppcyme) (2) has been synthesized. ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy shows that in solution the sterically demanding diphenylphosphine groups occupy equatorial positions on the cyclohexane ring. An X-ray crystal investigation confirms this result for the solid state. Treatment of tdppcyme with Mo(η⁶-C₇H₈)(CO)₃ gives Mo(tdppcyme)(CO)₃ (3), with octahedral molybdenum coordination.

A convenient and simple method for the synthesis of cis-and trans-2, 6-diphenyl- 1, 4-diselenafulvenes is described. The process involves the reaction of phenylacetylene with sodium hydroxide and selenium at 45–50°C and under PTC-Untrasound conditions to afford the 1, 4-diselenafulvenes in good to excellent isolated yields. The reaction mechanism is discussed.     

Semiexperimental equilibrium structure for cis,trans-1,4-difluorobutadiene by the mixed estimation method

The available experimental rotational constants of cis,trans-1,4-difluorobutadiene do not permit a determination of a complete structure. However, this problem, rather frequent in finding structures, may be solved by the mixed estimation method. The experimental ground state rotational constants are corrected for the rovibrational contribution calculated from an ab initio force field. These semiexperimental data are supplemented by structural parameters from ab initio calculations and a weighted least-squares fit allows us to obtain a reasonable structure. The accuracy of the fitted parameters is checked by optimizing a structure at the coupled cluster level. A good agreement is found between the two methods, validating our procedure.     

The conformation and vibrational spectra of trans-1,4-dihalocyclohexanes: Part III. trans-1,4-Diiodo-, trans-1,4-bromoiodo- and trans-1,4-dibromocyclohexane

The IR spectra of trans-1,4-diiodo- and trans-1,4-bromoiodocyclohexane as solutes in various solvents, as pellets and as solids under high pressure are recorded in the region 4000–30 cm^?1. Additional spectra of the melts, amorphous and annealed crystalline solids at 90 K and dichroic spectra of oriented crystals are recorded above 200 cm^?1. Raman spectra of the amorphous and annealed solids at 90 K and as solutes in various solvents, are obtained, including polarization measurements. IR and Raman spectra of trans-1,4-di-bromocyclohexane in the temperature range 90–250 K are recorded. Equilibrium mixtures of ee and aa conformers of the title compounds are observed in solution, in the melts and in the amorphous solid at 90 K. The ee conformer only is present in the stable crystal, while the aa conformer predominates in apparently metastable crystals annealed to ca. 205 K. The concentration of the aa conformer increases under high pressure (50 kbar). Fundamental frequencies for both ee and aa conformers are assigned. A normal coordinate analysis is carried out, and the force Fields adjusted to nine halogenated cyclohexanes using the overlay technique.     

Multiselective enzymatic reactions for the synthesis of protected homochiral cis- and trans-1,3,5-cyclohexanetriols

For the synthesis of the potentially antipsoriatic vitamin D derivative 3 (Ro 65-2299) an efficient and multiselective enzymatic step had been developed in which the easily accessible trans-1,3,5-triacetoxy-cyclohexane 5 was selectively monohydrolyzed in the presence of the cis-isomer 8 to give (1R,3R)-1,3-diacetoxy-5-hydroxy-cyclohexane 6 in high enantiomeric excess (>99%) and yield (84%). Furthermore, for the synthesis of the enantiomer of 3, a simple and efficient enzymatic procedure for the asymmetric acetylation of cis-1,5-dihydroxy-3-(tert-butyldimethylsilanoxy)-cyclohexane 10 in an anhydrous organic solvent providing (1R,3S,5S)-1-acetoxy-3-hydroxy-5-(tert-butyldimethylsilanoxy)-cyclohexane 11 in >99% ee and quantitative yield is described.
