Intramolecular Rearrangements of >Si(O–C·=O)(CH2–CH3) and >Si(CH2–CH·–CH3)(CH2–CH3) Radicals

Using ESR and IR spectroscopy, the structures of >Si(O–C^·=O)(CH₂–CH₃) (1) and >Si(CH₂–CH^·–CH₃)(CH₂–CH₃) (2) radicals were deciphered. The directions and kinetic parameters of reactions of intramolecular rearrangements in these radicals were determined. The reactions of hydrogen atom abstraction in radical (1) from the CH₂ and CH₃ groups were studied. It was found that the endothermic reaction of hydrogen atom abstraction from the methyl group occurs at a higher rate than the exothermic reaction with the methylene group. The differences are determined by changes in the size of a cyclic transition state. Based on the experimental data, the strengths of separate C–H bonds in surface fragments are compared. The rearrangement >Si(CH₂–CH^·–CH₃)(CH₂–CH₃) >Si(C^·(CH₃)₂)(CH₂–CH₃) was discovered and its mechanism was determined. One of its steps is the skeletal isomerization Si- (2)- _. (1)Si- (1)- _. (2). Experimental data are analyzed using the results of quantum-chemical calculations of model systems.     

The complexation of cadmium acetate and propionate by phenanthroline. Structure and properties of [Cd(CH3COO)2(C12H8N2)(H2O)] · H2O and [Cd(CH3CH2COO)2(C12H8N2)]2 · 2CH3CH2COOH

The coordination compounds [Cd(CH₃COO-κO ¹,O ²)₂(phenanthroline-kN ¹ N ²)(H₂O)] · H₂O (1) and [Cd{μ-(CH₃CH₂COO-κO ¹,O ²)}₂(phenanthroline-κN ¹,N ²)]₂ · 2CH₃CH₂COOH (2) were synthesized and characterized by elemental and thermal analysis and IR spectroscopy. Crystal and molecular structures of both compounds were determined. The complexes are air stable and fairly soluble in water. In both compounds the cadmium is seven-coordinate and contains chelating phenanthroline and two chelating carboxylate groups in the inner coordination sphere. The seventh coordinating oxygen belongs to water in 1 and to bridging carboxylate in 2. All carboxylate groups are bonded unsymmetrically to the central atom. The coordination polyhedra can be described as distorted pentagonal bipyramid (compound 1) and distorted capped tetragonal bipyramid (compound 2). In the structure of 1 intermolecular O(water)–H ··· O (water/carboxylate) hydrogen bonds create a two-dimensional net along the crystallographic a0c plane. Each molecule of 2 is connected to two propionic acid molecules via hydrogen bonds. In both compounds exist π-stacking interactions.

Efficient Diastereoselective Synthesis of Chiral Diferrocenylphosphine‐diamines: X‐ray Crystal Structure of [(η5‐C5H5)Fe{(η5‐C5H3)PPh2CH(CH3) N(CH2)2(CH2)2NCH(CH3)PPh2 (η5‐C5H3)}Fe(η5‐C5H5)]

Abstract

Three novel chiral planar diferrocenylphosphine‐diamines 5 (a–c) were designed and synthesized starting with (s)‐(?)‐N,N‐dimethyl‐1‐ferrocenylethylamine‐1 [(S)‐1]. All new compounds were identified by ¹H NMR and MS. The structure of chiral diferrocenylphosphine‐diamine 5c was determined by X‐ray crystallography. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that the molecular structure of compound 5c [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe{(η⁵‐C₅H₃)PPh₂CH(CH₃) N(CH₂)₂(CH₂)₂NCH(CH₃)PPh₂‐(η⁵‐C₅H₃)}Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] is enantiomerically pure and crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric P2(1)2(1)2(1) space group; it maintains “Z” shape and contains a piperazine hexahydrate ring bridge. The piperazine ring adopts a favored chair conformation and the chiral center C₂₃ and C₂₉ substituents in S‐configuration.     

Interaction of Phosphorus Iminoilides with Metal Acetates. Crystal and Molecular Structure of Cu[(2-O–)(5-NO2)C6H3N–CH=CH–+PPh3]2 · 2CHCl3

The structure of the Cu[(2-O^–)(5-NO₂)C₆H₃N–CH=CH–⁺PPh₃]₂ complex with the CuN₂O₂ coordination core of distorted square-planar geometry was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecules in the crystal structure of the Cu[(2-O^–)(5-NO₂)C₆H₃N–CH=CH–⁺PPh₃]₂ · 2CHCl₃ solvate are bound via hydrogen bonds of two types, namely, C(sp ²)–H···O and C(sp ³)–H···O.     

Comparative mass spectrometric investigation of transition metal polymethylcyclopentadienylcarbonyl complexes: II mass spectra of RnC5H5–nMN(CO)3 (R = CH3, n = 0–5; R = t-C(CH3)3, n = 1)

Investigation of π-(CH_3nC₅H_5–nMn(CO)₃ (Me_n-CpMnT) n = 0−5 and t-butyl CpMnT mass spectra showed that Me_nCpMnT molecular ion (M⁺) fragmentation occurs by a simpler scheme than that for Me_nCpReT M⁺ molecular ions. The reason is that MnCp and MnCO bonds are not as strong as the ReCp and ReCO bonds, and the relative “inertness” (compared to Re) of the Mn atom (ion), coordinated to the methylcyclopentadienyl ligand. Variations of M⁺ molecular ion intensity with different values of n are probably due to a complexity of electronic and spatial methyl-carbonyl group interactions in M⁺.     

Kinetics of Intramolecular Hydrogen Atom Transfer in the Radicals >Si(O·)(R) (R = H,D, CH3, CD3, and C2H5)

Methods are developed for obtaining oxy radicals by the photodecomposition and thermal decomposition of precursors (Si–O)₂Si(N=N–O^·)(R) and (Si–O)₂Si(O–C^·=O)(R). The mechanism of these processes is established. Kinetic data are obtained for the reaction of hydrogen atom transfer in oxy radicals (Si–O)₂Si(O^·)(R) (R = H, D, CH₃, CD₃, and C₂H₅). The activation energies of hydrogen atom transfer are found for three-, four-, and five-membered transition states: 13.5 ± 1, 18 ± 1, and <10 kcal/mol, respectively. For the reaction of H(D) atom transfer in the (Si–O)₂Si(O^·)(H(D)) radical, the kinetic isotope effect is found. Quantum-chemical calculations were used to determine the structures of transition states in the studied processes. Experimental studies were carried out using ESR spectroscopy.

Complexation of N-Allyl Derivatives of Morpholinium with Copper(I) Halides: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [C4H8ON(C3H5)2]+[Cu4Cl5]–, [C4H8ONH(C3H5)]+[CuBr2]–, and [C4H8ONH(C3H5)]+[CuBr1.41Cl0.59]–

The compounds [C₄H₈ON(C₃H₅)₂]⁺[Cu₄Cl₅]^– (I), [C₄H₈ONH(C₃H₅)]⁺[CuBr₂]^– (II), and [C₄H₈ONH(C₃H₅)]⁺[CuBr_1.41Cl_0.59]^– (III) were prepared for the first time by ac electrochemical synthesis from mono- and di-N-allyl derivatives of morpholinium and copper(I) halides in ethanol solution and structurally characterized. In the structure of I π-complex, the centrosymmetric Cu₈Cl₁₀ fragments are associated into layers perpendicular to the b axis. The N,N"-diallylmorpholinium cation functions as a bridge, which coordinates two copper atom of the adjacent inorganic fragments by both allyl groups. The trigonal-pyramidal surrounding of the Cu(I) atom, as well as the distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere of Cu(2), involves three chlorine atoms and the C=C bond, whereas the planar trigonal surrounding of the Cu(3) atom and trigonal-pyramidal surrounding of the Cu(4) atom involve only chlorine atoms. In the isostructural II and III σ-complexes, the edge-shared CuX₄ tetrahedra form the infinite copper-halide chains running along the a axis. The inorganic fragments and organic N-allylmorpholinium cations are united into the three-dimensional crystal structures by N–H···X and C–H···X (X = Cl, Br) hydrogen bonds.

Electrochemical studies based on cyclic voltammetries of all the compounds are also reported.     

Infrared investigations of the order–disorder ferroelectric phase transitions in imidazolium halogenobismuthates(III) and halogenoantimonates(III): (C3N2H5)5Bi2Cl11, (C3N2H5)5Bi2Br11 and (C3N2H5)5Sb2Br11

Infrared spectra of the powdered (C₃N₂H₅)₅Bi₂Cl₁₁, (C₃N₂H₅)₅Bi₂Br₁₁and (C₃N₂H₅)₅Sb₂Br₁₁ crystals in the region of internal vibrations of the imidazolium cations (3600 and 400 cm⁻¹) at the temperature intervals of 10–300 K, covering paraelectric–ferroelectric phase transitions, are presented and discussed in this paper. The research shows that the vibrational states of the imidazolium cations change markedly during the paraelectric–ferroelectric phase transition. The continuous nature of these transitions is well reflected in the infrared spectra, which is consistent with the previous X-ray and dielectric findings.     

N,N′-methylenedipyridinium Pt(II) and Pt(IV) hybrid salts: synthesis, crystal and molecular structures of [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl4] and [(C5H5N)2CH2] · [PtCl6]

The highly insoluble organic-inorganic hybrid ionic compounds N,N??-methylenedipyridinium tetrachloroplatinate(II) [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₄] and N,N??-methylenedipyridinium hexachloroplatinate(IV) [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₆] were obtained by the treatment of N,N??-methylenedipyridinium dichloride monohydrate [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂]Cl₂ · H₂O with K₂[PtCl₄] or (NH₄)₂[PtCl₆], respectively, in an aqueous solution. Both complexes were isolated, purified, characterised by elemental analysis, and their molecular structures were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of both compounds consists of separated discrete dications [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂]²⁺ and anions [PtCl _n ]^2? (n = 4 or 6). As anticipated, the dications formed a butterfly shape consisting of two pyridine rings bound to the methylene group via their N atoms, while the Pt centre had a square planar geometry in [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₄] and an octahedral coordination in [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂] · [PtCl₆]. Interestingly, both crystal structures are stabilised by intermolecular C-H??Cl non-standard hydrogen bonds, ??-?? ring interactions between two pyridine rings of adjacent dications, and also by Cl-?? interactions.     

Fourier-transform Raman and infrared spectra and normal coordinate analysis of (C6H5)2BiCl and [N(CH3)4]+[(C6H5)2BiCl2]−

The vibrational properties of the diphenylbismuth(III) chloride compounds (C₆H₅)₂BiCl and [N(CH₃)₄]⁺[(C₆H₅)₂BiCl₂]⁻ have been investigated. A comprehensive assignment of the fundamental modes in the measured Fourier-transform Raman and infrared spectra has been carried out. Normal coordinate calculations of these compounds based on new X-ray crystal structure data have been performed to identify the BiCl stretching and bending vibrations of both compounds. For [N(CH₃)₄]⁺[(C₆H₅)₂BiCl₂]⁻ in the solid state, the ν_s(BiCl₂) and ν_as(BiCl₂) occur at 215 cm⁻ (Raman) and 237 cm⁻ (Raman), respectively, in good agreement with the calculated wavenumbers. The force constant calculation yields a BiCl stretching force constant of 0.89 × 10² N m⁻¹.     

17O, 13C, 1H NMR and IR spectroscopic investigations of (CH3)nC5H5–nRe(CO)3 analogues (n = 0–5)

¹³C, ¹H NMR investigation of the (CH_3nC₅H_5–nRe(CO)₃ Me_nCpReT) n = 0–5 analogous series showed that the signals of almost all magnetic nuclei shift upfield with increase n, which also occurs in (Me_nCp)₂M compounds (M = Fe²⁺, Co³⁺; n = 0–5). The smaller value of the C(CH₃) signal (1.5 ppm.) shifts upfield when a further methyl group is introduced into the vicinal position, this shift can be attributed to the absence of the second methyl cyclopentadienyl ring. It is noteworthy that methyl cyclopentadienyl ring coordination to the transition-metal atom results in the downfield shift of the substituted carbon atom (C_key) signal. One of the reasons for such a shift might be the reduction in screening effect of the central CpM bond π-electron current on C_key owing to nodal properties of Cp ring e-orbitals. The δ ¹³C(CO), δ ¹⁷O(CO), and v(CO) values reflect successive increases of Re → CO π-back donation with increase in n.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Copper–PMIDA Compound (H4PMIDA=H2O3PCH2N(CH2CO2H)2)

A new Cu(II)PMIDA compound [Cu(H₂PMIDA)(phen)] 3H₂O (1) (H₄PMIDA = H₂O₃PCH₂N (CH₂CO₂H)₂,phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been successfully synthesized and structurally characterized. In complex 1, Cu (II) is six coordinated by chelation in a tetradentate fashion by a PMIDA ligand and by two N atoms of a phen ligand. Every phen–Cu(II)–PMIDA group connects with each other via a hydrogen bond and the edge-to-face -stacking interaction. Complex 1 crystallized in triclinic P-1 with cell dimensions of a = 7.5817(6) Å, b = 10.6980(8) Å, c = 13.1852(10) Å, =82.350(2)°, = 84.151(2)°, =78.4250(2), V= 1035.25(14) ų, Z = 2, Dc = 1.677 Mg/m³.     

Study of allylic rearrangement in (μ-H)Os3(μ-O=CNRCH2CH=CH2)(CO)10 (R=H or CH3) clusters

The migration of the double bond in the allylcarboxamide ligands of (μ-H)Os₃(μ-O=CN RCH₂CH=CH₂) (CO)₁₀ (R=H (1) or CH₃ (2)), (μ-D)Os₃(μ-O=CNDCH₂CH=CH₂) (CO)₁₀, and (μ-H)Os₃(μ-O=CNHCD₂CH=CH₂)(CO)₁₀ clusters was studied by¹H,²H, and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Neither μ-D nor ND groups in the deuterated complexes are directly involved in prototropic processes of allylic rearrangement. Initially, the deuterium atom of the CD₂ group migrates to the ψ-carbon atom of the allyl fragment to form the −CD=CH-CH₂D propenyl moiety, in which the deuterium and hydrogen atoms are gradually redistributed between the ψ-and β-carbon atoms. The triosmium cluster complexes containing the bridging carboxamide ligands O=CNRR' catalyze the allylic rearrangement ofN-allylacetamide. Based on the data obtained, the probable scheme of the allylic rearrangements in clusters1 and2 was proposed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Cupro(I)-π-complexes with 1-allyloxybenzotriazole: Synthesis and crystal structure of CuBF4 · 2C6H4N3(OC3H5) · H2O and CuCF3COO · C6H4N3(OC3H5)

The crystals of copper(I) π-complexes CuBF₄ · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O (I) and CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) (II) were obtained by alternating-current electrosynthesis and studied by X-ray diffraction: I, space group P2₁/n, a = 10.226(8), b = 13.233(10), c = 16.30(1) Å, β = 98.13(1)°, V = 2249(2) ų, Z = 4, R = 0.0705, 577 reflections; I, space group P $ P\bar 1 The crystals of copper(I) π-complexes CuBF₄ · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O (I) and CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) (II) were obtained by alternating-current electrosynthesis and studied by X-ray diffraction: I, space group P2₁/n, a = 10.226(8), b = 13.233(10), c = 16.30(1) ?, β = 98.13(1)°, V = 2249(2) ?³, Z = 4, R = 0.0705, 577 reflections; I, space group P , a = 8.8625(7), b = 9.0647(4), c = 9.1650(5) ?, α = 68.37(2)°, β = 85.31(3)°, γ = 69.86(2)°, V = 646(4) ?³, Z = 2, R = 0.1354, 2669 reflections. In compound I, the tetrahedrally distorted trigonal pyramidal environment of the copper atom comprises two nitrogen atoms of two organic molecules (L), the C=C bond of another L molecule, and the O atom of the water molecule. Due to the bridging function of L molecule, infinite chains [Cu · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O] _n are formed in the structure along the y axis. The chains are, in turn, assembled into layers through strong O-H…F hydrogen bonds involving both hydrogen atoms of the water molecule and fluorine atoms of the BF₄⁻ anion. In compound II, two bridging oxygen atoms of two trifluoroacetate anions and two copper atoms form a centrosymmetric dimer. The nitrogen atom of the benzotriazole ring of one molecule L and the C=C double bond of the allyl group of the other molecule L complete the distorted coordination tetrahedron of the metal atom. Owing to the bridging function of the L molecule, the [CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅)]₂ dimers are connected to form infinite double chains associated in a three-dimensional framework by only weak interactions. The replacement of the covalently bonded trifluoroacetate anion by an outer-sphere tetrafluoroborate ion opens up the possibility for metal atom binding to three L molecules simultaneously.
