Five coordinate complexes of N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide with copper Crystal and molecular structures of dichloro(N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamido)copper(II) and chloro(perchlorato)(N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamido)copper(II)

The title compound N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (DEAP) forms a 1:1 complex with anhydrous CuCl₂, [Cu(DEAP)Cl₂], (1) which was crystallized from EtOH solution in the monoclinic space group P2_{1/ n} with cell constant, a = 10.024(1); b = 13.122(1); c = 14.404(1) Å β = 101.31(1)° V = 1857.8(3) ų and Z = 4. The chloro-perchlorato complex, [Cu(DEAP)Cl(ClO₄)], (2) obtained in near quantitative yield by reacting (1) with an excess of NaClO₄ in EtOH, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2_{1/ n} with cell constants, a = 7.965(1); b = 25.827(2); c = 10.046(1) Å β = 98.81(1)° V = 2042.2(4) ų and Z = 4. Both (1) and (2) contain 5-coordinated copper linked to DEAP through O～N～O donor set of atoms with covalently bonded chlorine atoms in (1) and chlorine and perchlorate groups in (2). The coordination geometry is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, and is probably best described as a trigonally distorted rectangular pyramid.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Binuclear (μ-Oxalato) Copper(II) Complexes with N,N′-Diethylethylenediamine or N,N,N′-Trimethylethylenediamine

Three new binuclear w -oxalato copper(II) complexes of composition [(Cu(N,N' -dieten) H₂O)₂ox](ClO₄)₂ ·H₂O (1) (N,N'-dieten = N,N'-diethylethylenediamine, H₂ox = oxalic acid), [(Cu(trimeen)H₂O)₂ox](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O (2) (trimeen = N,N,N'-trimethylethylenediamine) and [(Cu(trimeen)H₂O)₂ox](NO₃)₂ ·2H₂O (3) have been isolated from the reactions of Cu(ClO₄)₂ ·6H₂O (or Cu(NO₃)₂ ·3H₂O), the appropriate amine and Na₂ox in water and have been characterized by IR and electronic spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The crystal structure of [(Cu(N,N' -dieten)H₂O)₂ ox](ClO₄)₂.H₂O (1) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The structure of ( 1 ) consists of binuclear cations [(N,N'-dieten)H₂O)Cu(ox)Cu(N,N'-dieten)H₂O)]²⁺, perchlorate anions and water molecules of crystallization. The copper atom is coordinated by two oxygen atoms of the oxalato ligand, two nitrogen atoms belonging to N,N'-dieten and one oxygen atom of water in a distorted square-pyramidal arrangement. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities (78-293 K) was measured for 1-3 . Magnetochemical measurements show that copper(II) ions in these compounds are antiferromagnetically coupled with J = -172 cm^-1, -172 cm^-1 and -168 cm^-1 (H = -2JS ₁ S ₂, S ₁= S ₂ = 1/2) for 1, 2 and 3, respectively.     

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkylpyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dapt) complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II)

Reactions of anhydrous CoX₂ (X?=?Br^?, SCN^?) and Ni(ClO₄)₂ with N,N,N′,N′-tetraisobutylpyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dbpt), N,N,N′,N′-tetraisopropyl pyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dppt), and N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dept) lead to the formation of [Co(S-dbpt)Br₂] (1), [Co(S-dppt)(SCN)₂] (2), and [Ni(S-dept)₂]·(ClO₄)₂·H₂O (3), respectively. The X-ray crystal structures of the three S-dapt ligands and three complexes along with spectroscopic analyzes are presented. The molecular structure investigations of the S-dapt ligands show that the thiamide planes are twisted with respect to the pyridine ring, which is more in the case of phenyl groups. The structures of the Co(II) complexes reveal that an increase in steric crowding on the amide side arms of the ligands has no substantial effect on the geometry adopted by the corresponding complexes. The Co(II) gives only 1?:?1 five-coordinate, ion-paired complexes with a distorted square pyramidal geometry. Ni(II), on the other hand, prefers an octahedral geometry with 1?:?2 metal–ligand ratio. The coordination behavior of S-dapt has been compared to the analogous oxo(O-daap) ligands. Lesser propensity of S atom to get involved in H-bonding interactions ensures an S-N-S type of tridentate coordination by S-dapt.     

Preparation and Characterization of N,N′-Dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminium Chlorides,N,N′-Dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdimines,and Lithium N,N′-Dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminates

We describe convenient preparations of N,N′-dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminium chlorides, N,N′-dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdimines, and lithium N,N′-dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminates in which the alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, or tert-butyl. For the dialdiminium salts, the N₂C₃ backbone is always in the trans-s-trans configuration. Three isomers are present in solution except for the tert-butyl compound, for which only two isomers are present; increasing the steric bulk of the N-alkyl substituents shifts the equilibrium away from the (Z,Z) isomer in favor of the (E,Z), and (E,E) isomers. For the neutral dialdimines, crystal structures show that the methyl and isopropyl compounds adopt the (E,Z) form, whereas the tert-butyl compound is in the (E,E) form. In aprotic solvents all four dialdimines (as well as the lithium dialdiminate salts) adopt cis-s-cis conformations in which there presumably is either an intramolecular hydrogen bond (or a lithium cation) between the two nitrogen atoms.     

N,N′-Diacylated imidazolidines and hexahydropyrimidines

A method for the preparation ofN-monoacyl imidazolidines and hexahydropyrimidines (as hydrochlorides) by interaction of monoacylated derivatives of ethylenediamine and trimethylenediamine with chloromethyl methyl ether was developed. Also a method for the preparation ofN,N-diacylimidazolidines and hexahydropyrimidines either by acylation of their monoacyl derivatives or by reaction of the correspondingN,N-diacyl alkylenediamine derivatives with dimethoxymethane, diacetoxymethane, 1,3,5-trioxane or chloromethyl methyl ether was designed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Extraction of U(VI) and Th(IV) from nitric acid solutions with N,N,N′,N′-tetrahexylsuccinylamide

The results of monitoring of⁸⁵Kr volume activity in ground-level air of Prague over the period 1989–1995 are summariyed. Seasonal dependence with a maximum in late spring and summer months and a gradual increase of⁸⁵Kr concentration in the atmosphere were observed. Linear approximation of long-term trend in the period 1983–1995 gives the growth rate of 35 mBq·m^–3 per year. Exponential approximation provides an inter-year growth by 3.7% The measured values were compared to the prognosis of⁸⁵Kr contamination development of the atmosphere from the early 1980s. They were found to be near to the low estimate of the assumed development.     

Synthesis,structure and methyl methacrylate polymerization of cobalt(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes with N,N′,N-bidentate versus N,N′,N-tridentate N,N′,N-bis((1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)amines

Mononuclear Co(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes derived from bidentate or tridentate N,N′,N-bis((1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)amines (L_n = L_A, L_B), where L_A is N,N-bis((1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)-3-methoxypropan-1-amine and L_B is 3-methoxy-N,N-bis((3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)propan-1-amine, have been synthesized and characterized. The geometry at Co(II) and Cd(II) for [L_ACoCl₂], [L_BCoCl₂] and [L_BCdBr₂] with N,N′,N-tridentate ligands (L_n = L_A, L_B) can be described as a distorted trigonal bipyramid achieved by coordinative interaction of N_pyrazole, two halides and the nitrogen of amine moiety. However, the molecular structure of four-coordinate [L_AZnCl₂] can be best described as tetrahedral, resulting in an eight-membered chelate ring. [L_ACoCl₂] polymerized methyl methacrylate in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane at 60 °C and resulted in poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) with higher molecular weight and narrower polydispersity index compared to the other synthesized complexes. However, all the synthesized complexes yielded syndiospecific PMMA, characterized using ¹H NMR spectroscopy, with ca. 0.70.     

Synthesis,characterization and nucleolytic property of bis(N,N′-dimethylglycinato)copper(II)

Aquabis(N,N-dimethylglycinato)copper(II) dihydrate, [Cu(dmg)₂(H₂O)]·2H₂O, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, magnetic data, thermal analysis, solution UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray crystal structure analysis and electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy. The square pyramidal copper(II) complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁. The complex cleaves circular plasmid DNA (pBR322) in the presence of H₂O₂. The extent of cleavage varies with the concentration range of the complex, the type of buffer used, pH of buffer and the concentration of H₂O₂. Hydroxyl radical scavenger can inhibit the nucleolytic ability of this complex.     

Vibrational spectra of N,N-dimethyl/diethylaniline,N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl/tetraethyl-p-phenylenediamine and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl/tetraethylbenzidine derivatives

The ground state and protonated state (quaternized salt) vibrational spectra (200–1800 cm⁻¹) of the title amines are reported for various ring and/or methyl deuterated derivatives. Complete assignments are proposed and compared to those established for the parent hydrocarbons, benzene and biphenyl, and for the parent primary amines, aniline, p-phenylenediamine and benzidine. The electronic distribution, N(n)→ring(π) charge-transfer character and inductive effects are characterized from a vibrational point of view. Finally changes in the vibrational and electronic conformation upon protonation of the nitrogen atom are discussed. These results provide a fundamental basis for the vibrational investigation of excited states and reactive transients of aromatic amines.

Poly(N,N′-dibromo-N-ethyl-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide) [PBBS] and N,N,N′,N′-tetrabromobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide [TBBDA] are effective catalysts for easy preparation of 1,1-diacetates from aldehydes and acetic anhydride, and for easy preparation of acetals using diols under microwave irradiation in the presence of SiO₂.

In this paper we present and discuss experimental results to evaluate performances and aging behaviour of two Hole Transporting Material (HTM), TPD and NPD, in Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) with structure: ITO/HTM/Alq3/Al. For each of these HTMs, devices with several thicknesses have been built, to measure and emphasize behaviours of material-geometry combinations. Electro-optical properties have been measured to estimate and compare brightness, power efficiency and aging decays.     

Mononuclear copper(I) complexes with triphenylphosphine and N,N′-disubstituted thioureas: synthesis,characterization, and biological evaluation

Abstract

Twelve new complexes, of the general formula CuCl(TPP)₂Tu^1–12 (Tu?=?thiourea), were synthesized by the reaction of CuCl(TPP)₃ (TPP?=?triphenylphosphine) and various N,N′-disubstituted thioureas. The structures of the synthesized complexes were characterized by different techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, and ¹⁹F), and the representative complexes (1, 2 and 12) were analyzed via single crystal X-ray diffraction. The single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that copper(I) is coordinated with chlorine, two TPP, and the thiourea ligands through the sulfur atom in a mononuclear distorted tetrahedral mode. The compounds were tested for antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxicity, antileishmanial, and antioxidant activities. The results showed that the synthesized complexes are significantly more active than the free ligands and the commercial reference compounds. The high biological activities of the complexes versus free ligands can be attributed to the copper(I) chloride complexation with thiourea ligands. The synthesized complexes were also evaluated, both experimentally and theoretically, for DNA binding studies. The UV-visible spectroscopic and molecular docking studies demonstrated that the complexes are conjugating with DNA through a groove binding mode.     

Thermochemistry of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes with N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea and N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea

Two substituted N-acylthioureas and the respective Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized, namely: N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea (Hnbtu); N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea (Hibtu); bis[N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]nickel(II), [Ni(nbtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]copper(II), [Cu(nbtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]nickel(II), [Ni(ibtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]copper(II), [Cu(ibtu)₂]. The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation and sublimation of the two N-acylthioureas were measured, at T = 298.15 K, by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry and Calvet microcalorimetry, respectively. The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of the Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were determined, at T = 298.15 K, by high precision solution–reaction calorimetry. From the results obtained, the enthalpies of hypothetical metal–ligand and metal–metal exchange reactions, in the gaseous phase, were derived, thus allowing a discussion of the gaseous phase energetic difference between the complexation of Ni(II) and Cu(II) to 1,3-ligand systems with (S,O) ligator atoms.     

Features of the reactions of β-aryl(heteryl)-α-nitroacrylates with N,N-, N,O-, and N,S-binucleophiles

The reactions of ??-aryl(heteryl)-??-nitroacrylates with N,N-, N,O-, and N,S-binucleophiles proceed regiospecifically through the initial formation of the Ad_N products, among which only the product from o-aminothiophenol was isolated. The conditions of converting the S-adducts into 2-aryl(heteryl)benzothiazole were found. The N-adducts formed in the reaction with hydrazine, o-phenylenediamine, and o-aminophenol undergo immediately the spontaneous transformation into the linear (azine, azomethine) or heterocyclic (benzimidazole) structures.     

Poly(N,N′-dichloro-N-ethyl-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide, N,N,N′,N′-tetrachlorobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide, poly(N,N′-dibromo-N-ethyl-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide, and N,N,N′,N′-tetrabromobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide catalyzed formylation of amines and alcohols using ethyl formate under microwave irradiation

A simple, rapid, and efficient procedure for formylation of primary and secondary amines and alcohols using ethyl formate catalyzed with poly(N,N′-dichloro-N-ethyl-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide (PCBS), N,N,N′,N′-tetrachlorobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide (TCBDA), poly(N,N′-dibromo-N-ethyl-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide (PBBS) and also N,N,N′,N′-tetrabromobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide (TBBDA) was adopted. The reactions were performed under microwave irradiation with high yields.     

Structures and stability of N9, N9 − and N9 + clusters

 Ab initio molecular orbital calculations for N₉, N⁻ ₉ and N⁺ ₉ isomers were carried out at the HF/ 6-31G*, B3PW91/6-31G*, B3LYP/6-31G* and MP2/ 6-31G* levels of theory. Stable equilibrium geometric structures were determined by harmonic vibrational frequency analyses at the HF/6-31G*, B3PW91/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G* levels of theory. The most stable free-radical N₉ cluster is structure 1 with C _{2 v} symmetry and that of anion N⁻ ₉ is structure 3 with C _s symmetry. Only one stable structure of the N⁺ ₉ cation with C _{2 v} symmetry was predicted. Their potential application as high-energy-density materials has been examined.

Antimicrobial,antifertility, and antiradiation studies of Ga(III) and Tl(I) complexes with N∩S and N ∩ O donor systems

New complexes of gallium(III) and thallium(I) derived from 5,6-dimethyl-1H-indol-2,3-dione hydrazinecarbothioamide (L¹H) and 5,6-dimethyl-1H-indol-2,3-dione hydrazinecarboxamide (L²H) have been prepared and investigated using a combination of microanalytical analysis, melting point, molar conductance measurement, electronic, IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectral studies. Gallium isopropoxide interacts with the ligands in 1 : 1, 1 : 2, and 1 : 3 molar ratios resulting in the formation of colored products, whereas TlCl forms only unimolar products. The mono- and bis-alkoxy derivatives are dimeric, while the tris ligand metal complexes are monomeric. On the basis of conductance and spectral evidences, a pentacoordinate structure for gallium(III) 1 : 1 complexes, hexacoordinate structure for 1 : 2 and 1 : 3 complexes, and a bicoordinate geometry for thallium(I) complexes have been assigned. The ligands are coordinated to gallium(III) and thallium(I) via the azomethine nitrogen and the thiolic sulfur/enolic oxygen. The antimicrobial activities of the ligands and complexes have been screened in vitro against bacteria Pseudomonas cepacicola and Bacillus subtilis and fungi Collectatrichum capsici and Fusarium oxysporum. The complexes have higher activities than the free bases. In vivo studies of the ligands and their corresponding complexes have also been carried out to assess their antifertility and antiradiation activities. The results of these activities indicate the antiandrogenic and radiation protective nature of these complexes.     

Kristallstruktur von N,N,N′,N′-Tetraisopropyl-p-phenylen-diammonium-dichlorid und-bis(tetrachloroaluminat)

Summary Protonation of the sterically overcrowded N,N,N,N-tetraisopropyl-p-phenylenediamine leads to a significant shortening of the C-N bond lengths of 7 pm as well as to a widening of the phenyl ipso-angle to 122°. All structural changes can be attributed to the twisted diisopropylammonium substituents and their electron acceptor properties.
