Guest driven rearrangements of protonation and hydrogen bonding in decavanadate anions as their tetraalkylammonium salts

Single crystal X-ray structure determinations of [(n-C5H11)4N]3[H3V10O28].2(CH3)2CO (TAA-acetone), [(n-C5H11)4N]8[H3V10O28]2[H4V10O28].7C4H8O2 (TAA-dioxane), [(n-C5H11)4N]3[H3V10O28] (TAAh) and [(n-C6H13)4N]2[H4V10O28].4C4H8O2 (THA-dioxane) revealed that protonation and hydrogen bond formation of decavanadate anions in their tetraalkylammonium salts are influenced by the nature of the solvent molecules incorporated as guests into the crystals. When crystallized with acetone molecules, the decavanadate anion forms a self-associated hydrogen-bonded dimer of ([H3V10O28](3-))2 to hide the protons from the aprotic protophobic acetone molecules. When crystallized with 1,4-dioxane molecules, the decavanadate anion exposes its protons to the aprotic protophilic 1,4-dioxane molecules to form a hydrogen-bond assisted solvation complex of ((C4H8O2)4...[H4V10O28)](2-)). Size effects of the tetraalkylammonium cations on crystallizing these hydrogen-bonded assemblies were also examined.     

Synthesis, structure, and metalation of two new highly porous zirconium metal-organic frameworks

Three new metal-organic frameworks [MOF-525, Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4)(TCPP-H(2))(3); MOF-535, Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4)(XF)(3); MOF-545, Zr(6)O(8)(H(2)O)(8)(TCPP-H(2))(2), where porphyrin H(4)-TCPP-H(2) = (C(48)H(24)O(8)N(4)) and cruciform H(4)-XF = (C(42)O(8)H(22))] based on two new topologies, ftw and csq, have been synthesized and structurally characterized. MOF-525 and -535 are composed of Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4) cuboctahedral units linked by either porphyrin (MOF-525) or cruciform (MOF-535). Another zirconium-containing unit, Zr(6)O(8)(H(2)O)(8), is linked by porphyrin to give the MOF-545 structure. The structure of MOF-525 was obtained by analysis of powder X-ray diffraction data. The structures of MOF-535 and -545 were resolved from synchrotron single-crystal data. MOF-525, -535, and -545 have Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas of 2620, 1120, and 2260 m(2)/g, respectively. In addition to their large surface areas, both porphyrin-containing MOFs are exceptionally chemically stable, maintaining their structures under aqueous and organic conditions. MOF-525 and -545 were metalated with iron(III) and copper(II) to yield the metalated analogues without losing their high surface area and chemical stability.     

季铵盐型Gemini表面活性剂在金表面的吸附行为

以邻苯二酚(CC)为电化学探针, 利用循环伏安、交流阻抗等方法研究了不同阳离子Gemini表面活性剂(C16H33(CH3)2N-C4H8-N(CH3)2C16H33 (C16-C4-C16)、C12H25(CH3)2N-C4H8-N(CH3)2C12H25 (C12-C4-C12)、C8H17(CH3)2N-C4H8-N(CH3)2C8H17 (C8-C4-C8))在金电极表面的吸附性能. 结果表明, CC在KNO3溶液中可产生两对峰; 当向溶液中加入阳离子Gemini表面活性剂时, 第一对峰降低, 第二对峰升高, 峰电位差变大; 碳链长的表面活性剂对CC的氧化还原峰的影响较大. 同样, 碳链长的表面活性剂使电极界面的阻抗增大较多, 使石英晶片的频率变化较大. 根据CC的第一个氧化峰的面积随表面活性剂吸附的变化, 估测了它们的吸附模式. 发现这三种表面活性剂在金电极表面的吸附基本符合Langmuir吸附模型.

Ti(C5H5)2(C8H4S8) (1), Ti(C5Me5)2(C8H4S8) (2), [NMe4][Ti(C5H5)(C8H4S8)2] (3), and [NMe4][Ti(C5Me5)(C8H4S8)2] (4) [C8H4S8(2-) = 2-(4,5-ethylenedithio)-1,3-dithiole-2-ylidene)-1,3-dithiole-4,5- dithiolate(2-)] were prepared by reaction of Ti(C5H5)2Cl2, Ti(C5Me5)2Cl2, Ti(C5H5)Cl3, or Ti(C5Me5)Cl3 with Li2C8H4S8 or [NMe4]2[C8H4S8] in THF. They were oxidized by iodine, the ferrocenium cation, or TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane) in CH2Cl2 or in acetone to afford one-electron-oxidized and over-one-electron-oxidized species, [Ti(C5H5)2(C8H4S8)].I3, [Ti(C5H5)2(C8H4S8)][PF6], [Ti(C5Me5)2(C8H4S8)].I3, [Ti(C5Me5)2(C8H4S8)][PF6], [Ti(C5H5)(C8H4S8)2].I0.9, [Ti(C5H5)(C8H4S8)2][TCNQ]0.3, [Ti(C5Me5)(C8H4S8)2].I2.4, and [Ti(C5Me5)(C8H4S8)2][TCNQ]0.3, with the C8H4S8 ligand-centered oxidation. They exhibited electrical conductivities of 1.6 x 10(-1) to 7.6 x 10(-4) S cm-1 measured for compacted pellets at room temperature. The crystal structure of 2 was clarified to consist of isolated dimerized units of the molecules through some sulfur-sulfur nonbonded contacts: monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 9.534(2) A, b = 18.227(2) A, c = 17.775(2) A, beta = 94.39(1) degrees, Z = 4.     

m-4-m型Gemini表面活性剂对铂电极上亚甲蓝吸附溶出伏安行为的影响

在0.050 mol·L-1磷酸盐缓冲溶液(PBS)中(pH=6.4), 亚甲蓝(MB)在铂电极上于-0.2 V产生一对不明显的伏安峰. 当向溶液中加入阳离子型Gemini表面活性剂Br-C16H33N+(CH3)2-C4H8-N+(CH3)2C16H33Br-, Br-C12H25N+(CH3)2-C4H8-N+(CH3)2C12H25Br-或Br-C8H17N+(CH3)2-C4H8-N+(CH3)2C8H17Br-后, 亚甲蓝的氧化峰显著增高, 还原峰降低, 氧化还原峰峰电位均正移, 这和表面活性剂与MB在电极表面的协同吸附有关. 联接基团相同的Gemini表面活性剂, 其影响程度随烷基链的增长而逐渐增强. 增大表面活性剂的浓度, MB的氧化峰先升高后缓慢降低. 如当Br-C16H33N+(CH3)2-C4H8-N+(CH3)2C16H33Br-的浓度为15 μmol·L-1 时, 5 μmol·L-1 MB的氧化峰峰电流达到最大值. 此外,溶液pH值和富集电位等对MB及表面活性剂的吸附亦有影响.     

水合铵硼氧酸盐及其饱和溶液的FTIR和Raman光谱研究

研究了NH₄B₅O₈·4H₂O和(NH₄)₂B₈O₁₃·6H₂O及其饱和溶液于20℃的FTIR和Raman光谱,对振动频率进行了归属.根据振动光谱特征,预测(NH₄)₂B₈O₁₃·6H₂O中所含基本结构单元为[B₇O ₁₁(OH)·B(OH)₃]^2-.首次将Raman光谱中516cm^-1处的强散射峰归属为这一多聚硼氧配阴离子的对称脉冲振动峰,并对以上2种铵硼氧酸盐饱和溶液中硼氧配阴离子的存在形式{B(OH)₃,[B₃O₃(OH)₄]^-和[B₅O₆(OH)₄]^-}和相互作用机理进行了探讨.     

Synthesis and NMR spectral study of some t(3)-aryl-r(2),c(4)-bisethoxycarbonyl-t(5)-hydroxy-c(5)-methylcyclohexanones

Six t(3)-aryl-r(2),c(4)-bisethoxycarbonyl-t(5)-hydroxy-c(5)-methylcyclohexanones (6-11) were synthesized by condensing ArCHO (Ar = Ph, p-O(2)NC(6)H(4), p-CH(3)OC(6)H(4), p-ClC(6)H(4), m-O(2)NC(6)H(4) and m-C(6)H(5)O(6)H(4)) with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of methylamine and their (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra were recorded. (1)H-(1)H COSY and NOESY spectra were recorded for 6 and 7 and also HSQC and HMBC spectra for 6 and 8. Elemental analysis was carried out for all compounds. The mass spectrum was recorded for 8. All analytical data are consistent with the proposed molecular formulae. Analysis of NMR spectral data suggests that these compounds largely adopt chair conformations with the hydroxyl group occupying an axial orientation and all the other substituents occupying equatorial orientations. Long-range coupling (2-3 Hz) between the OH proton and the axial methylene proton at C-6 is observed in 6, 7, 8 and 11.     

Remarkable reactions of cyclooctatetraene diiron-bridging carbyne complexes with amino and amido compounds: nucleophilic addition to and breaking of the cyclooctatetraene ring

The reactions of the cationic, diiron-bridging carbyne complexes [Fe(2)(mu-CAr)(CO)(4)(eta(8)-C(8)H(8))]BF(4) (1, Ar=C(6)H(5); 2, Ar=p-CH(3)C(6)H(4); 3, Ar=p-CF(3)C(6)H(4)) with LiN(C(6)H(5))(2) in THF at low temperature gave novel N-nucleophilic-addition products, namely, the neutral, diiron-bridging carbyne complexes [Fe(2)(mu-CAr)(CO)(4)(eta(7)-C(8)H(8)N(C(6)H(5))(2))] (4, Ar=C(6)H(5); 5, Ar=p-CH(3)C(6)H(4); 6, Ar=p-CF(3)C(6)H(4))). Cationic bridging carbyne complexes 1-3 react with (C(2)H(5))(2)NH, (iC(3)H(7))(2)NH, and (C(6)H(11))(2)NH under the same conditions with ring cleavage of the COT ligand to produce the novel diiron-bridging carbene inner salts [Fe(2)[mu-C(Ar)C(8)H(8)NR(2)](CO)(4)] (7, Ar=C(6)H(5), R=C(2)H(5); 8, Ar=p-CH(3)C(6)H(4), R=C(2)H(5); 9, Ar=p-CF(3)C(6)H(4), R=C(2)H(5); 10, Ar=C(6)H(5), R=iC(3)H(7); 11, Ar=p-CH(3)C(6)H(4), R=iC(3)H(7); 12, Ar=p-CF(3)C(6)H(4), R=iC(3)H(7); 13, Ar=C(6)H(5), R=C(6)H(11); 14, Ar=p-CH(3)C(6)H(4), R=C(6)H(11), 15, Ar=p-CF(3)C(6)H(4), R=C(6)H(11)). Piperidine reacts similarly with cationic carbyne complex 3 to afford the corresponding bridging carbene inner salt [Fe(2)[mu-C(Ar)C(8)H(8)N(CH(2))(5)](CO)(4)] (16). Compound 9 was transformed into a new diiron-bridging carbene inner salt 17, the trans isomer of 9, by heating in benzene. Unexpectedly, the reaction of C(6)H(5)NH(2) with 2 gave a novel COT iron-carbene complex [Fe(2)[=C(C(6)H(4)CH(3)-p)NHC(6)H(5)](mu-CO)(CO)(3)(eta(8)-C(8)H(8))] (18). However, the analogous reactions of 2-naphthylamine with 2 and of p-CF(3)C(6)H(4)NH(2) with 3 produce novel chelated iron-carbene complexes [Fe(2)[=C(C(6)H(4)CH(3)-p)NC(10)H(7)](CO)(4)(eta(2):eta(3):eta(2)-C(8)H(9))] (19) and [Fe(2)[=C(C(6)H(4)CF(3)-p)NC(6)H(4)CF(3)-p](CO)(4)(eta(2):eta(3):eta(2)-C(8)H(9))] (20), respectively. Compound 18 can also be transformed into the analogous chelated iron-carbene complex [Fe(2)[=C(C(6)H(4)CH(3)-p)NC(6)H(5)](CO)(4)(eta(2):eta(3):eta(2)-C(8)H(9))] (21). The structures of complexes 6, 9, 15, 17, 18, and 21 have been established by X-ray diffraction studies.     

Synthesis of heterometal cluster complexes by the reaction of cobaltadichalcogenolato complexes with groups 6 and 8 metal carbonyls

Metalladichalcogenolate cluster complexes [{CpCo(S2C6H4)}2Mo(CO)2] (Cp = eta(5)-C5H5) (3), [{CpCo(S2C6H4)}2W(CO)2] (4), [CpCo(S2C6H4)Fe(CO)3] (5), [CpCo(S2C6H4)Ru(CO)2(P(t)Bu3)] (6), [{CpCo(Se2C6H4)}2Mo(CO)2] (7), and [{CpCo(Se2C6H4)}(Se2C6H4)W(CO)2] (8) were synthesized by the reaction of [CpCo(E2C6H4)] (E = S, Se) with [M(CO)3(py)3] (M = Mo, W), [Fe(CO)5], or [Ru(CO)3(P(t)Bu3)2], and their crystal structures and physical properties were investigated. In the series of trinuclear group 6 metal-Co complexes, 3, 4, and 7 have similar structures, but the W-Se complex, 8, eliminates one cobalt atom and one cyclopentadienyl group from the sulfur analogue, 4, and does not satisfy the 18-electron rule. 1H NMR observation suggested that the CoW dinuclear complex 8 was generated via a trinuclear Co2W complex, with a structure comparable to 7. The trinuclear cluster complexes, 3, 4, and 7, undergo quasi-reversible two-step one-electron reduction, indicating the formation of mixed-valence complexes Co(III)M(0)Co(II) (M = Mo, W). The thermodynamic stability of the mixed-valence state increases in the order 4 < 3 < 7. In the dinuclear group 8 metal-Co complexes, 5 and 6, the CpCo(S2C6H4) moiety and the metal carbonyl moiety act as a Lewis acid character and a base character, respectively, as determined by their spectrochemical and redox properties. Complex 5 undergoes reversible two-step one-electron reduction, and an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study indicates the stepwise reduction process from Co(III)Fe(0) to form Co(III)Fe(-I) and Co(II)Fe(-I).     

Effect of substitution and planarity of the ligand on DNA/BSA interaction, free radical scavenging and cytotoxicity of diamagnetic Ni(II) complexes: a systematic investigation

Four new bivalent nickel hydrazone complexes have been synthesised from the reactions of [NiCl(2)(PPh(3))(2)] with H(2)L {L = dianion of the hydrazones derived from the condensation of salicylaldehyde or o-hydroxy acetophenone with p-toluic acid hydrazide (H(2)L(1)) (1), (H(2)L(2)) (2) and o-hydroxy acetophenone or o-hydroxy naphthaldehyde with benzhydrazide (H(2)L(3)) (3) and (H(2)L(4)) (4)} and formulated as [Ni(L(1))(PPh(3))] (5), [Ni(L(2))(PPh(3))] (6), [Ni(L(3))(PPh(3))] (7) and [Ni(L(4))(PPh(3))] (8). Structural characterization of complexes 5-8 were accomplished by using various physico-chemical techniques. In order to study the influence of substitution in the ligand and its planarity on the biological activity of complexes 5-8 containing them, suitable hydrazone ligands 1-4 have been selected in this study. Single crystal diffraction data of complexes 5, 7 and 8 proved the geometry of the complexes to be distorted square planar with a 1 : 1 ratio between the metal ion and the coordinated hydrazones. To provide more insight on the mode of action of complexes 5-8 under biological conditions, additional experiments involving their interaction with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were monitored by UV-visible and fluorescence titrations respectively. Further, the ligands 1-4 and corresponding nickel(ii) chelates 5-8 have been tested for their scavenging effect towards OH and O(2)(-) radicals. The effect of complexes 5-8 to arrest the growth of HeLa and Hep-2 tumour cell lines has been studied along with the cell viability against the non-cancerous NIH 3T3 cells under in vitro conditions.     

Structure, luminescence, and adsorption properties of two chiral microporous metal-organic frameworks

Two 3D chiral multifunctional microporous MOFs, Zn3(BTC)2(DMF)3(H2O).(DMF)(H2O) (1) and Cd(4)(BTC)3(DMF)2(H2O)2.6(H2O) (2) (H(3)BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide), have been synthesized in the presence of organic bases tributylamine (TBA) and triethylamine (TEA), respectively. 1 (C(30)H(38)N(4)O(18)Zn(3)) crystallizes in the tetragonal P4(1)2(1)2 space group (a = 13.6929(19) A, c = 50.664(10) A, V = 9499(3) A(3), and Z = 8). 2 (C33H39N2O28Cd4) crystallizes in the tetragonal P4(3)22 space group (a = 10.3503(4) A, c = 52.557(3) A, V = 5630.4(4) A(3), and Z = 4). X-ray crystallography reveals that 1 consists of a 3D open framework with the (6(3))(4)(6(2).8(2).10(2))(6.(4)8(2))(2) topology, but 2 exhibits a 3D open network with the (4(2).5)(2)(4.(4)5.(10)6.(8)7.(4)8(2)) topology. The solid-state excitation-emission spectra show that the strongest excitation peaks for 1 and 2 are at 341 and 319 nm, and their emission spectra mainly show strong peaks at 410 and 405 nm, respectively. The amounts adsorbed of 1 (2) are 169 mg/g (126 mg/g) for H2O, 137 mg/g (102 mg/g) for C2H5OH, and 133 mg/g (99 mg/g) for CH3OH, which are equivalent to the adsorption of about 62 (34) H2O, 20 (11) C2H5OH, and 28 (16) CH3OH per unit cell, respectively.     

Octanuclear and nonanuclear supramolecular copper(II) complexes with linear "tritopic" ligands: structural and magnetic studies

The structures and magnetic properties of self-assembled copper(II) clusters and grids with the "tritopic" ligands 2poap (a), Cl2poap (b), m2poap (c), Cl2pomp (d), and 2pomp (e) are described [ligands derived by reaction of 4-R-2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic hydrazide (R = H, Cl, MeO) with 2-pyridinemethylimidate (a-c, respectively) or 2-acetylpyridine (d, R = Cl; e, R = H)]. Cl2poap and Cl2pomp self-assemble with Cu(NO(3))(2) to form octanuclear "pinwheel" cluster complexes [Cu(8)(Cl2poap-2H)(4)(NO(3))(8)].20H(2)O (1) and [Cu(8)(Cl2pomp-2H)(4)(NO(3))(8)].15H(2)O (2), built on a square [2 x 2] grid with four pendant copper arms, using "mild" reaction conditions. Similar reactions of Cl2pomp and 2pomp with Cu(ClO(4))(2) produce pinwheel clusters [Cu(8)(Cl2pomp-2H)(4)(H(2)O)(8)](ClO(4))(8).7H(2)O (3) and [Cu(8)(2pomp-2H)(4)(H(2)O)(8)](ClO(4))(8) (4), respectively. Heating a solution of 1 in MeOH/H(2)O produces a [3 x 3] nonanuclear square grid complex, [Cu(9)(Cl2poap-H)(3)(Cl2poap-2H)(3)](NO(3))(9).18H(2)O (5), which is also produced by direct reaction of the ligand and metal salt under similar conditions. Reaction of m2poap with Cu(NO(3))(2) produces only the [3 x 3] grid [Cu(9)(m2poap-H)(2)(m2poap-2H)(4)](NO(3))(8).17H(2)O (6) under similar conditions. Mixing the tritopic ligand 2poap with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (picd) in the presence of Cu(NO(3))(2) produces a remarkable mixed ligand, nonanuclear grid complex [Cu(9)(2poap-H)(4)(picd-H)(3)(picd-2H)](NO(3))(9).9H(2)O (7), in which aromatic pi-stacking interactions are important in stabilizing the structure. Complexes 1-3 and 5-7 involve single oxygen atom (alkoxide) bridging connections between adjacent copper centers, while complex 4 has an unprecedented mixed micro-(N-N) and micro-O metal ion connectivity. Compound 1 (C(76)H(92)N(44)Cu(8)O(50)Cl(4)) crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group I, with a = 21.645(1) A, c = 12.950(1) A, and Z = 2. Compound 2 (C(84)H(88)N(36)O(44)Cl(4)Cu(8)) crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group I, with a = 21.2562(8) A, c = 12.7583(9) A, and Z = 2. Compound 4 (C(84)H(120)N(28)O(66)Cl(8)Cu(8)) crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group I4(1)/a, with a = 20.7790(4) A, c = 32.561(1) A, and Z = 4. Compound 7(C(104)H(104)N(46)O(56)Cu(9)) crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P, with a = 15.473(1) A, b = 19.869(2) A, c = 23.083(2) A, alpha = 88.890(2) degrees, beta = 81.511(2) degrees, gamma = 68.607(1) degrees, and Z = 2. All complexes exhibit dominant intramolecular ferromagnetic exchange coupling, resulting from an orthogonal bridging arrangement within each polynuclear structure.     

Synthesis and chemical properties of 8-aryl-7-acyl-1-6-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-4-cyano-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones and isoquinolinethiones

8-Aryl-7-acetyl-1, 6-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-4-cyano-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones and -isoquinolinethiones and their sodium salts were obtained by the reaction of cyanoacetamide and cyanothioacetamide with 3-aryl-2, 4-diacetyl-5-methyl-5-hydroxycyclohexanonesinbasicrnedium. 8-Aryl-7-acetyl-6-methoxycarbonyl-1, 6-dimethyl-4-cyano-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones were obtained by the reaction of acetyl chloride and the above isoquinolinone sodium salts. The reaction of iodoacetamide and the above isoquinolinethione sodium salts yielded 8-aryl-7-acetyl-3-carbamoylmethylthio-1, 6-dimethyl-4-cyano-5, 6, 7, 8-tetra-hydroisoquinolines, which were cyclized into 1-amino-6-aryl-7-acetyl-2-carbamoyl-5, 8-dimethyl-8-hydroxy-6, 7, 8, 9-tetrahydrothiophene[2,3-c]isoquinolines in basic medium.     

Aromaticity and antiaromaticity in 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-membered conjugated hydrocarbon rings

Recently, we presented a molecular orbital (MO) model of aromaticity that explains, in terms of simple orbital-overlap arguments, why benzene (C(6)H(6)) has a regular structure with delocalized double bonds whereas the geometry of 1,3-cyclobutadiene (C(4)H(4)) is distorted with localized double bonds. Here, we show that the same model and the same type of orbital-overlap arguments also account for the irregular and regular structures of 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene (C(8)H(8)) and 1,3,5,7,9-cyclodecapentaene (C(10)H(10)), respectively. Our MO model is based on accurate Kohn-Sham DFT analyses of the bonding in C(4)H(4), C(6)H(6), C(8)H(8), and C(10)H(10) and how the bonding mechanism is affected if these molecules undergo geometrical deformations between regular, delocalized ring structures and distorted ones with localized double bonds. The propensity of the pi electrons is always to localize the double bonds, against the delocalizing force of the sigma electrons. Importantly, we show that the pi electrons nevertheless determine the localization (in C(4)H(4) and C(8)H(8)) or delocalization (in C(6)H(6) and C(10)H(10)) of the double bonds.     

Structural periodicity in plutonium(IV) sulfates

The chemistry of tetravalent Pu with sulfate is explored in a series of single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the alkali metal plutonium sulfate compounds. Five new structures of Pu(IV) sulfates are presented including the structure for the α-phase of Pu(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)(4), Na(10)Pu(2)(SO(4))(9)(H(2)O)(4), K(8)Pu(2)(SO(4))(8)(H(2)O)(5), Rb(8)Pu(2)(SO(4))(8)(H(2)O)(4), and Cs(4)Pu(SO(4))(4)(H(2)O)(2). Changes in structure and stoichiometry are seen down the alkali-metal series despite identical reaction conditions for each of the complexes. Comparison to the other known An(IV) sulfates, Group IV sulfates, and Ce(IV) reveals limited similarity in stoichiometry and structure across the actinide series and their homologues. Marked color changes are observed down the series indicating strong interactions between the plutonium ions and the ligands in these complexes.     

Synthesis, structure, reactivity, and thermal isomerization of boron-substituted 13-vertex cobaltacarboranes (eta5-Cp)Co(eta6-R2C2B10Me8H2) (R = H, Et)

Reduction of boron-substituted carboranes o-R2C2B10Me8H2 (R = H, Et), thermal isomerization, and nucleophilic reaction of the resultant 13-vertex cobaltacarboranes were studied. Reaction of o-C2B10Me8H4 (1) with excess potassium metal in tetrahydrofuran (THF) gave, after recrystallization from a THF solution of 18-crown-6 ether, [[K(18-crown-6)(THF)2][K(18-crown-6)]][[4-(18-crown-6)-2,3,5,8,9,11,12,13-Me8-4,1,6-KC2B10H4]2] (2) in 78% yield. Interaction of 1 with excess sodium or potassium metal in THF, followed by treatment with CoCl2/CpNa and then aerobatic oxidation, afforded two boron-substituted 13-vertex cobaltacarboranes, 4-Cp-2,3,5,8,9,11,12,13-Me8-4,1,6-CoC2B10Me8H4 (3) and 4-Cp-2,3,5,9,10,11,12,13-Me8-4,1,6-CoC2B10Me8H4 (4), in 15% and 8% yield, respectively. Subsequently, thermal isomerization of 3 and 4 yielded another two new isomers, 4-Cp-2,3,5,6,8,11,12,13-Me8-4,1,9-CoC2B10Me8H4 (5) and 4-Cp-2,3,5,6,7,11,12,13-Me8-4,1,9-CoC2B10Me8H4 (6). Treatment of 3 or 4 with strong bases such as nBuLi and MeLi generated unexpected nucleophilic substitution products 4-nBuCp-2,3,5,8,9,11,12,13-Me8-4,1,6-CoC2B10Me8H4 (7), 4-nBuCp-2,3,5,9,10,11,12,13-Me8-4,1,6-CoC2B10Me8H4 (8a), and 4-MeCp-2,3,5,9,10,11,12,13-Me8-4,1,6-CoC2B10Me8H4 (8b) in good yields. Under the same reaction conditions, however, only one 13-vertex cobaltacarborane, 4-Cp-1,9-Et2-2,5,6,7,8,11,12,13-Me8-4,1,9-CoC2B10Me8H4 (10), was isolated when o-Et2C2B10Me8H2 (9) was used as the starting material. Complex 10 is a thermodynamically stable product and has a substitution pattern different from that of 3-6. These results show that the substituents on either the cage carbon or boron atoms have an important effect on the formation and thermal stability of the 13-vertex metallacarboranes. The formation of these complexes can be rationalized by the diamond-square-diamond mechanism.

Polyhedral monocarbaborane chemistry. Some C-phenylated seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve-vertex species

Some synthetic and structural systematics for monocarbaboranes, using the C-phenylated motif as the example, are investigated. The 10-vertex [6-Ph-nido-6-CB(9)H(11)](-) anion 1, from reaction of PhCHO with B(10)H(14) in KOH/H(2)O, is a useful entry synthon into C-phenyl monocarbaborane chemistry. Treatment of anion 1 with Na/thf yields the 10-vertex [1-Ph-closo-1-CB(9)H(9)](-) anion 2a, whereas treatment of anion 1 with iodine in alkaline solution yields the isomeric 10-vertex [2-Ph-closo-2-CB(9)H(9)](-) anion 2b, which isomerises quantitatively to 2a on heating under reflux in DME. Thermolysis of anion 1 yields the 9-vertex [4-Ph-closo-4-CB(8)H(8)](-) anion 5, whereas treatment of anion 1 with FeCl(3)/HCl gives neutral 9-vertex [4-Ph-arachno-4-CB(8)H(13)] 3. Compound 3 gives neutral 9-vertex [1-Ph-nido-1-CB(8)H(11)] 4 in refluxing toluene, and gives the 7-vertex [2-Ph-closo-2-CB(6)H(6)](-) anion 7 and the 8-vertex [1-Ph-closo-1-CB(7)H(7)](-) anion 6 in refluxing toluene with NEt(3). Reaction of 1 with [BH(3)(thf)] yields the 11-vertex [7-Ph-nido-7-CB(10)H(12)](-) anion 8 which can be converted to the 12-vertex [1-Ph-closo-1-CB(11)H(11)](-) anion 10 using [BH(3)(SMe(2))]; alternatively, anion 1 yields anion 10 directly on treatment with [BH(3)(NEt(3))]. Treatment of anion 8 with I(2)/KOH yields the 11-vertex [2-Ph-closo-2-CB(10)H(10)](-) anion 9. The structures of anions 1, 2a, 2b, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of their [NEt(4)](+) salts, and those of neutral 3 and 4 estimated by DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level; similar calculations have also been applied to the new anionic closo species 2a, 2b, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10. Crystals of the [NEt(4)](+) salt of the [2-Ph-closo-2-CB(6)H(6)](-) anion 7 required synchrotron X-radiation for sufficient diffraction intensity for molecular-structure elucidation. The syntheses are in principle generally applicable to give extensive derivative C-aryl and C-alkyl chemistries.
