Determination of Nitrite via Reaction with Pyridine-4-Carboxylic Acid Hydrazide

Abstract

Nitrite is determined by its reaction with a measured but excessive amount of pyridine-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide in acid medium (when the two substances react in a 1:1 molar ratio) and evaluation of the surplus hydrazide by titration with chloramine-T in the presence of acidified potassium bromide, the end-point being shown by the decolorization of the methyl red indicator. Nitrate, copper(II), mercury(II), etc. are found not to interfere, and the determination of nitrite in the presence of diazotized aromatic amines is demonstrated.     

Synthesis,Isolation and Crystal Structures of the Metalated Ylides [Cy3P-C-SO2Tol]M (M = Li,Na, K)

The preparation and isolation of the metalated ylides [Cy₃PCSO₂Tol]M ( ^Cy1-M ) (with M = Li, Na, K) are reported. In contrast to its triphenylphosphonium analogue the synthesis of ^Cy1-M revealed to be less straight forward. Synthetic routes to the phosphonium salt precursor ^Cy1 - H₂ via different methods revealed to be unsuccessful or low-yielding. However, nucleophilic attack of the ylide Cy₃P = CH₂ at toluenesulfonyl fluoride under basic conditions proved to be a high-yielding method directly leading to the ylide ^Cy1-H . Metalation to the yldiides was finally achieved with strong bases such as nBuLi, NaNH₂, or BnK. In the solid state, the lithium compound forms a tetrameric structure consisting of a (C–S–O–Li)₄ macrocycle, which incorporates an additional molecule of lithium iodide. The potassium compound forms a C₄-symmetric structure with a (K₄O₄)₂ octahedral prism as central structural motif. Upon deprotonation the P–C–S linkage undergoes a remarkable contraction typical for metalated ylides.     

Acid and Complexing Properties of Tetraazaporphyrins

In this review, the kinetic regularities underlying the formation and stability of acid–base tetraazaporphyrin complexes with nitrogen bases in benzene (chlorobenzene) are considered. The relationships between the structure of protolytes and their reactivities are discussed. The role of the acid–base interactions in the reaction of magnesium acetate or acetylacetonate with tetrahalogen- and octaphenyl-substituted tetraazaporphyrins in the nitrogen-containing base–benzene system was revealed. The possible mechanisms of the processes under study are considered and a relatioship is established between the reaction rate constants and structural changes in a solution.     

Macrocyclic Metal Complexes Bearing Rigid Polyaromatic Ligands: Synthesis and Catalytic Activity

We synthesised palladium and platinum complexes possessing cyclic and acyclic pincer‐type polyaromatic ligands and investigated their structural effect on the catalysis. The pincer‐type bis(6‐arylpyridin‐2‐yl)benzene skeleton was constructed via Kröhnke pyridine synthesis under transition metal‐free conditions on gram‐scale quantity. Ligand structure significantly influenced catalytic activity toward the platinum‐catalysed hydrosilylation of diphenyl acetylenes, despite the ligand‐independence of the conformations and electronic properties of these complexes.

Facile Synthesis of Triptycene-Azolium Salts and NHC-Metal Complexes

The cycloaddition reactions of eleven substituted anthracenes with nosylated quinone imines provides a convenient route to the respective triptycenes. Following re-aromatization, selective O-butylation and cleavage of the nosyl-group the respective triptycene anilines are obtained, which are converted into the respective imidazolium salts according to established procedures. Deprotonation of the imidazolium salts provide new triptycene-NHC-metal complexes (M=AuCl, RhCl(cod), IrCl(cod), RhCl(CO)₂, IrCl(CO)₂, PdI₂(py), PtCl₂(py), Pd(allyl)Cl) with unusual ligand sterics.     

An Easy One‐Pot Synthesis of Diverse 2,5‐Di(2‐pyridyl)pyrroles: A Versatile Entry Point to Metal Complexes of Functionalised,Meridial and Tridentate 2,5‐Di(2‐pyridyl)pyrrolato Ligands

A wide variety of 2,5‐di(2‐pyridyl)pyrroles (dppHs) substituted at the C3 and C4 positions of the pyrrole core were obtained by direct condensation of a 2‐pyridylcarboxaldehyde (2 equiv), an α‐methylene ketone with at least one electron‐withdrawing substituent and ammonium acetate. A novel 2,5‐di(1,10‐phenanthrolin‐2‐yl)pyrrole was also characterised. The dppHs provide a direct, quick entry to dipyridylpyrrolato (dpp^?)–metal complexes. The meridial tridentate dpp^? ligand is a useful anionic analogue of the terpyridyl ligand. The first (dpp)Ru complexes are described; the 3,4‐substitution of the central pyrrole significantly perturbs the potentials of the redox processes of these complexes. A [(dpp)Ru(bpy)(MeCN)]⁺ (bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine) complex is an electrocatalyst for the reductive disproportionation of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and the carbonate ion.     

Tuning the Functional Properties of Metal Complexes Containing Polytopic Heteroaromatic Nitrogen Ligands

The preparation, characterization, and optimization of the functional properties of mono‐ and polynuclear coordination complexes containing heteroaromatic nitrogen ligands are discussed here, taking the advantage of numerous studies performed in our laboratories on exploring a variety of different metal ions and polytopic ligands. We highlight how very minor changes in connectivity, composition, and polarity of the molecular entities employed in the self‐assembly steps may significantly affect the structural, thermal, sorptive, magnetic, and mesomorphic behavior of the resulting materials. Examples from three different classes are included: 1) pyrazolate‐based polynuclear coordination compounds, 2) homoleptic and heteroleptic coordination polymers, and 3) 2,2′‐bipyridine metal‐based liquid crystals.     

Metalated 1, 3‐Azaphospholes: η1‐(1H‐1, 3‐Benzazaphosphole‐P)M(CO)5 and μ2‐[(1, 3‐Benzazaphospholide‐P)(cyclopentadienide)nickel] Complexes

1H‐1, 3‐Benzazaphospholes react with M(CO)₅(THF) (M = Cr, Mo, W) to give thermally and relatively air stable η¹‐(1H‐1, 3‐Benzazaphosphole‐P)M(CO)₅ complexes. The ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR‐data are in accordance with the preservation of the phosphaaromatic π‐system of the ligand. The strong upfield ³¹P coordination shift, particularly of the Mo and W complexes, forms a contrast to the downfield‐shifts of phosphine‐M(CO)₅ complexes and classifies benzazaphospholes as weak donor but efficient acceptor ligands. Nickelocene reacts as organometallic species with metalation of the NH‐function. The resulting ambident 1, 3‐benzazaphospholide anions prefer a μ₂‐coordination of the η⁵‐CpNi‐fragment at phosphorus to coordination at nitrogen or a η³‐heteroallyl‐η⁵‐CpNi‐semisandwich structure. This is shown by characteristic NMR data and the crystal structure analysis of a η⁵‐CpNi‐benzazaphospholide. The latter is a P‐bridging dimer with a planar Ni₂P₂ ring and trans‐configuration of the two planar heterocyclic phosphido ligands arranged perpendicular to the four‐membered ring.

Synthesis of new self-assembled PdII and PtII rectangular metallomacrocycles: a comparative study of their inclusion complexes

New palladium and platinum metallocycles have been synthesized by reacting 4,4'-bipyridinium-based ligands with PdII and PtII complexes. Strict thermodynamic self-assembly of 1 and [M(en)(NO3)2] (M=Pd, Pt) 6 a,b afforded metallocycles 7 a,b. However, the synthesis of 8 a,b and 9 a,b required a self-assembly process that used sodium p-phenylenediacetate (12) as a template. Finally, metallocycles 10 a,b were synthesized under high dilution conditions from ligand 4. The formation of inclusion complexes between metallocycles 7-10 and substrates 13 and 14 were studied by low-temperature 1H NMR, and the association constants were determined in nitromethane and water by following the characteristic charge-transfer band that these metallomacrocycles show in their UV-visible absorption spectra. A clear correlation between the affinity for a substrate and the dimensions of the metallocycle was observed. Metallocycles 8 b and 9 b exhibited the highest binding constants in water and nitromethane. This observation is in agreement with the DFT (B3LYP)-optimized geometries obtained for the different metallomacrocycles, which indicate that only macrocycles 8 and 9 possess a cavity with a width larger than 3.5 A. The insertion of hydroquinone or diol 13 into the cavity of metallocycle 11 a was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography.
