DSC study of the phase transitions in [Ni(D2O)6](ClO4)2 and [Ni(H2O)6](ClO4)2

DSC measurements were carried out for [Ni(H₂O)₆](ClO₄)₂ (sampleH) and [Ni(D₂O)₆](ClO₄)₂ (sampleD) in the temperature range 300–380 K. For both compounds two anomalies on the DSC curves were detected. The results for sampleH are compared to those previously obtained using adiabatic calorimetry method. For both compounds studied in this work the high-temperature transition appears at the same temperature while the low-temperature one is shifted towards higher temperatures in sampleD. Disorder connected with H₂O or D₂O groups is suggested in the intermediate phase between the low- and high-temperature transitions.

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Ni(Ⅱ) Complex [Ni(H2O)4(4,4''-bipy)2](hca)2

The reaction of Ni(CH3COO)2(6H2O, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (Hhca) and 4,4'-bipyri- dine (bipy) ligand in water-solution afforded a mononuclear complex [Ni(H2O)4(4,4'-bipy)2](hca)2 which was characterized by IR, elemental analysis, TGA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystallography analysis reveals that the complex is of triclinic, space group P with a = 7.0238(14), b = 7.2934(11), c = 17.186(4) (A), α = 87.073(13), β = 84.354(10), γ = 81.961(12)°, V = 866.9(3) (A)3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.474 g/cm3, F(000) = 402, μ = 62.7 mm-1, R = 0.0411, wR = 0.0862 and GOF = 1.048. In solid state, the cation [Ni(H2O)4(4,4'-bpy)2]2+ connects six nearby hca counter anions via O-H…O hydrogen bonds to form an extended 2D lattice framework and the O-H…N hydrogen bonds finally link the 2D layers into an infinite 3D network.     

Chiral Silver Amides as Effective Catalysts for Enantioselective [3+2] Cycloaddition Reactions

Asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition of α‐aminoester Schiff bases with substituted olefins is one of the most efficient methods for the preparation of chiral pyrrolidine derivatives in optically pure form. In spite of its potential utility, applicable substrates for this method have been limited to Schiff bases that bear relatively acidic α‐hydrogen atoms. Here we report a chiral silver amide complex for asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition reactions. A silver complex prepared from silver bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (AgHMDS) and (R)‐DTBM‐SEGPHOS worked well in asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of α‐aminoester Schiff bases with several olefins to afford the corresponding pyrrolidine derivatives in high yields with remarkable exo‐ and enantioselectivities. Furthermore, α‐aminophosphonate Schiff bases, which have less acidic α‐hydrogen atoms, also reacted with olefins with high exo‐ and enantioselectivities. The stereoselectivities of the [3+2] cycloadditions with maleate and fumarate suggested that the reaction proceeded by means of a concerted mechanism. An NMR spectroscopic study indicated that complexation of AgHMDS with the bisphosphine ligand was not complete, and that free AgHMDS, which did not show any significant catalytic activity, existed in the catalyst solution. This means that significant ligand acceleration occurred in the current reaction system.

Thermal decomposition of polycrystalline [Ni(NH3)6](NO3)2

The thermal decompositions of polycrystalline samples of [Ni(NH₃)₆](NO₃)₂ were studied by thermogravimetric analysis with simultaneous gaseous products of the decomposition identified by a quadruple mass spectrometer. Two measurements were made for samples placed in alumina crucibles, heated from 303 K up to 773 K in the flow (80 cm³ min^?1) of Ar 6.0 and He 5.0, at a constant heating rate of 10 K min^?1. Thermal decomposition process undergoes two main stages. First, the deamination of [Ni(NH₃)₆](NO₃)₂ to [Ni(NH₃)₂](NO₃)₂ occurs in four steps, and 4NH₃ molecules per formula unit are liberated. Then, decomposition of survivor [Ni(NH₃)₂](NO₃)₂ undergoes directly to the final decomposition products: NiO_1+x, N₂, O₂, nitrogen oxides and H₂O, without the formation of a stable Ni(NO₃)₂, because of the autocatalytic effect of the formed NiO_1+x. Obtained results were compared both with those published by us earlier, by Farhadi and Roostaei-Zaniyani later and also with the results published by Rejitha et al. quite recently. In contradiction to these last ones, in the first and second cases agreement between the results was obtained.     

Case Study of N-iPr versus N-Mes Substituted NHC Ligands in Nickel Chemistry: The Coordination and Cyclotrimerization of Alkynes at [Ni(NHC)2]

A case study on the effect of the employment of two different NHC ligands in complexes [Ni(NHC)₂] (NHC=ⁱPr₂Im^Me 1^Me , Mes₂Im 2 ) and their behavior towards alkynes is reported. The reaction of a mixture of [Ni₂(ⁱPr₂Im^Me)₄(μ-(η² : η²)-COD)] B / [Ni(ⁱPr₂Im^Me)₂(η⁴-COD)] B’ or [Ni(Mes₂Im)₂] 2 , respectively, with alkynes afforded complexes [Ni(NHC)₂(η²-alkyne)] (NHC=ⁱPr₂Im^Me: alkyne=MeC≡CMe 3 , H₇C₃C≡CC₃H₇ 4 , PhC≡CPh 5 , MeOOCC≡CCOOMe 6 , Me₃SiC≡CSiMe₃ 7 , PhC≡CMe 8 , HC≡CC₃H₇ 9 , HC≡CPh 10 , HC≡C(p-Tol) 11 , HC≡C(4-^tBu-C₆H₄) 12 , HC≡CCOOMe 13 ; NHC=Mes₂Im: alkyne=MeC≡CMe 14 , MeOOCC≡CCOOMe 15 , PhC≡CMe 16 , HC≡C(4-^tBu-C₆H₄) 17 , HC≡CCOOMe 18 ). Unusual rearrangement products 11 a and 12 a were identified for the complexes of the terminal alkynes HC≡C(p-Tol) and HC≡C(4-^tBu-C₆H₄), 11 and 12 , which were formed by addition of a C−H bond of one of the NHC N-ⁱPr methyl groups to the C≡C triple bond of the coordinated alkyne. Complex 2 catalyzes the cyclotrimerization of 2-butyne, 4-octyne, diphenylacetylene, dimethyl acetylendicarboxylate, 1-pentyne, phenylacetylene and methyl propiolate at ambient conditions, whereas 1^Me is not a good catalyst. The reaction of 2 with 2-butyne was monitored in some detail, which led to a mechanistic proposal for the cyclotrimerization at [Ni(NHC)₂]. DFT calculations reveal that the differences between 1^{M e} and 2 for alkyne cyclotrimerization lie in the energy profile of the initiation steps, which is very shallow for 2 , and each step is associated with only a moderate energy change. The higher stability of 3 compared to 14 is attributed to a better electron transfer from the NHC to the metal to the alkyne ligand for the N-alkyl substituted NHC, to enhanced Ni-alkyne backbonding due to a smaller C_NHC−Ni−C_NHC bite angle, and to less steric repulsion of the smaller NHC ⁱPr₂Im^Me.

Self-exchange reaction of [Ni(mnt)2](1-,2-) in nonaqueous solutions

The rate constant, k, for the homogeneous electron transfer (self-exchange) reaction between the diamagnetic bis(maleonitriledithiolato)nickel dianion, [Ni(mnt) 2] (2-), and the paramagnetic monoanion, [Ni(mnt) 2] (1-), has been determined in acetone and nitromethane (CH 3NO 2) using (13)C NMR line widths at 22 degrees C (mnt = 1,2-S 2C 2(CN) 2). The values of k (2.91 x 10 (6) M (-1) s (-1) in acetone, 5.78 x 10 (6) M (-1) s (-1) in CH 3NO 2) are faster than those for the electron transfer reactions of other Ni(III,II) couples; the structures of [Ni(mnt) 2] (1-) and [Ni(mnt) 2] (2-) allow for a favorable overlap that lowers the free energy of activation. The values of k are consistent with the predictions of Marcus theory. In addition to k, the spin-lattice relaxation time, T 1e, of [Ni(mnt) 2] (1-) is obtained from the NMR line width analysis; the values are consistent with those predicted by spin relaxation theory.     

On the thermal decomposition of [Ni(H2O)6](NO3)2 and its deuterated analogue

The methods of TG, DTA and DSC were used to study the thermal decompositions of [Ni(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₂ and [Ni(D₂O)₆](NO₃)₂ in an atmospheric air medium. Intermediates were isolated at 145, 230 and 245°, and were identified by quantitative analysis and IR spectroscopy. The following phase transitions were observed under the conditions of the experiment: melting of the salts, partial dehydration to the tetrahydrate, formation of basic nickel nitrate hydrate stable within a narrow temperature interval, and formation of NiO.

Zusammenfassung Mittels TG, DTA und DSC wurde die thermische Zersetzung von [Ni(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₂ und [Ni(D₂O)₆](NO₃)₂ in Luft untersucht. Bei Temperaturen von T=145°C, 230°C un 245°C konnten Intermediäre festgestellt werden, welche mittels quantitativer Analyse und IR-Spektroskopie identifiziert wurden. Unter den gegebenen experimentellen Bedingungen wurden folgende Phasenumwandlungen beobachtet: Schmelzen der Salze, partielle Dehydratation zu Tetrahydrat, Bildung von basishem Nickelnitrat-hydrat (stabil innerhalb eines schmalen Temperaturintervalles), schließliche Bildung von NiO.Aus den DSC-Daten wurden die Enthalpien der Phasenumwaldungen berechnet. DTA- und DSC-Daten zeigen, daß die Phasenunwandlungen bei [Ni(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₂ bei etwas niedrigeren Temperaturen liegen als bei [Ni(D₂O)₆](NO₃)₂.

Photochemical synthesis of [2.2](3,8)-pyridazinophane and quinolinophane-2(1H)-one as well as synthesis of [2](5,8)-quinolinophanes and fused spiro-pyranoindanoparacyclophanes

Syntheses of various classes of unreported heterophanes derived from [2.2]paracyclophane are herein reported. The key to their successful synthesis depends on the photochemical synthesis of pyridazinophane and quinolinophane-2(1H)-one from freshly prepared 4-([2.2]paracyclophanyl)-azo-4′-[2.2]paracyclophane and 4-([2.2]paracyclophanyl)cinnnamanilide, respectively. Reactions of 4-amino-[2.2]paracyclophane with either acetyl- or benzoylacetone afforded condensed products. Then ring closure using polyphosphoric acid (PPA) at 120°C gave, in near quantitative yields, quinolinophanes. Reactions of [2](4,7)-indano-[2]paracyclophane-1-ylidene-propanedinitrile with active methylene compounds afforded fused spiro-pyranoindanoparacyclophane derivatives.     

[Ni(iPr2Im)2Br2]: A Convenient Entry into NHC Nickel ­Chemistry

The reaction of the NHC iPr₂Im [NHC=N‐heterocyclic carbene, iPr₂Im = 1, 3‐bis(isopropyl)imidazolin‐2‐ylidene] with freshly prepared NiBr₂ in thf or dme results in the formation of the air stable nickel(II) complex trans‐[Ni(iPr₂Im)₂Br₂] ( 2 ). Complex 2 was structurally characterized. Thermal analysis (DTA/TG) reveals a very high decomposition temperature of 298 °C. Reduction of 2 with sodium or C₈K in the presence of the olefins COD (cyclooctadiene) or COE (cyclooctene) affords the highly reactive compounds [Ni₂(iPr₂Im)₄(COD)] ( 1 ) and [Ni(iPr₂Im)₂(COE)] ( 4 ). Alkylation of 2 with organolithiums leads to the formation of trans‐[Ni(iPr₂Im)₂(R)₂] [R = Me ( 5 ), CH₂SiMe₃ ( 6 )], whereas the reaction of 2 with LiCp* [Cp* = (η⁵‐C₅(CH₃)₅)] at 80 °C causes the loss of one NHC ligand and affords [(η⁵‐C₅(CH₃)₅)Ni(iPr₂Im)Br] ( 7 ).
