Infrared Photodissociation Spectroscopic and Theoretical Study of the HC2nO+ (n=3-6) Cations

The carbon chain cations, HC_2nO⁺ (n=3-6) are produced via a pulsed laser vaporization supersonic expansion ion source in the gas phase. Their infrared spectra are measured via mass-selected infrared photodissociation spectroscopy of the CO “tagged” [HC_2nO·CO]⁺ cation complexes in 1600-3500 cm^-1 frequency range. The geometric and electronic structures of the [HC_2nO·CO]⁺ complexes and the core HC_2nO⁺ (n=3-6) cations are determined with the aid of density functional theory calculations. These HC_2nO⁺(n=3-6) ions are identified to be linear carbon chain derivatives terminally capped by hydrogen and oxygen. The triplet ground states are 10-15 kcal/mol lower in energy than the singlet states, indicating cumulene-like carbon chain structures.     

Reactions of (CO2)2+ and (CO)2+ association ions

The reactons of (CO₂)₂⁺ and (CO)₂⁺ with various additives have been investigated using the NBS high-pressure photoionization mass spectrometer at total pressures of 0.4–1.0 torr of either CO₂ or CO. The additives include CH₄, CD₄, C₂H₂, O₂, H₂O, ^15,14N₂O, and CO in both CO₂ and ¹³CO₂. Second- and third-order rate coefficients based on an ambipolar diffusion model are reported for 25 separate reaction pairs at 295°K, as well as sequential cationic reaction mechanisms. An approximate value of 225 ± 3 kcal/mol (941 ± 13 kJ/mol) was derived for ΔH_f (CO)₂⁺ based on the kinetics observed in various CO-additive mixtures. Some projections regarding the utility of the data under other conditions are also included.     

Synthesis and molecular structure of cisoid and transoid isomers of [Re2(CO)6(1,1′-bis(indenylidene)] derived from the reaction of [Re2(CO)8(MeCN)2] and diazoindene

The compound [Re₂(CO)₈(MeCN)₂] reacts with diazoindene (C₉H₆N₂) while refluxing in THF to afford three dirhenium products in which C₉H₆N₂ is cleaved with loss of N₂ and with incorporation of the residual indenylidene group into the products. Two indenylidene groups are coupled in two diastereomers of [Re₂(CO)₆(μ,η⁵:η⁵-1,1′-C₁₈H₁₂)] where C₁₈H₁₂=bis(indenylidene). X-ray structures show that these isomers are related as RR/SS and RS isomers. These have the two Re(CO)₃ groups coordinated transoid and cisoid, respectively to a trans bis(indenylidene) bridge. The third product is the μ-indenylidene complex [Re₂(CO)₈(μ,η¹:η⁵-C₉H₆)], which was also structurally characterised by X-ray diffraction.     

Substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands—10. Intramolecular steric interactions in [(η-C5H3(SiMe3)2)Mo(CO)2(L)I]

Reaction of C₅H₄(SiMe₃)₂ with Mo(CO)₆ yielded [(η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂)Mo(CO)₃]₂, which on addition of iodine gave [(η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂Mo(CO)₃I]. Carbonyl displacement by a range of ligands: [L  P(OMe)₃, P(OPrⁱ)₃,P(O-o-tol)₃, PMe₃, PMe₂Ph, PMePh₂, PPh₃, P(m-tol)₃] gave the new complexes [(η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂ MO(CO)₂(L)I]. For all the trans isomer was the dominant, if not exclusive, isomer formed in the reaction. An NOE spectral analysis of [(η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂)Mo(CO)₂(L)I] L  PMe₂Ph, P(OMe)₃] revealed that the L group resided on the sterically uncongested side of the cyclopentadienyl ligand and that the ligand did not access the congested side of the molecule. Quantification of this phenomenon [L  P(OMe)₃] was achieved by means of the vertex angle of overlap methodology. This methodology revealed a steric preference with the trans isomer (less congestion of CO than I with an SiMe₃ group) being the more stable isomer for L  P(OMe)₃.     

Fuzzy model prediction of Co (III)Al2O3 catalytic behavior in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

The application of Co(Ⅲ)/Al2O3 catalyst in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis(FTS)was studied in a wide range of synthesis gas conversions and compared with Fuzzy Simulation results.Present study applies fuzzy model to predicting the product composition of CH4,CO2 and CO in Fischer-Tropsch process for natural gas synthesis,in which the input vector was 4-dimension including four variables(operating pressure, operating temperature,time and CO/H2 ratio)of 70 different experiments and the output product is a composition of CO2,CO and CH4. The Mamdani algorithm has been applied to the training of the fuzzy system and the test set was used to evaluate the performance of the system including R2,ARE,AARE and SD.The results demonstrated that the predicted values from the model were in good consistency with the experimental data.The work indicates how fuzzy inference system(FIS),as a promising predicting technique,would be effectively used in FTS.

Coordination Chemistry of P‐rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. XIX. [Co₄P₂(P^tBu₂)₂(CO)₈] and [{Co(CO)₃}₂P₄^tBu₄] from Co₂(CO)₈ and ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ Co₂(CO)₈ reacts with ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ yielding the compounds [Co₄P₂(P^tBu₂)₂(CO)₈] ( 1 ) and [{η^2tBu₂P=P–P=P^tBu₂}{Co(CO)₃}₂] ( 2 a ) cis, ( 2 b ) trans. In 1 , four Co and two P atoms form a tetragonal bipyramid, in which two adjacent Co atoms are μ₂‐bridged by ^tBu₂P groups. Additionally, two CO groups are linked to each Co atom. In 2 a and 2 b , each of the Co(CO)₃ units is η²‐coordinated to the terminal P₂ units resulting in the cis‐ and trans‐configurations 2 a and 2 b . 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnnm (No. 58) with a = 879,41(5), b = 1199,11(8), c = 1773,65(11) pm. 2 a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n (No. 14) with a = 875,97(5), b = 1625,36(11), c = 2117,86(12) pm, β = 91,714(7)°. 2 b crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 (No. 2) with a = 812,00(10), b = 843,40(10), c = 1179,3(2) pm, α = 100,92(2)°, β = 102,31(2)°, γ = 102,25(2)°.     

Reactions of the cycloheptatrienyl complexes [MX(CO)2(η-C7H7)] (M=Mo, X=Br; M=W, X=I) with CNBu: X-ray crystal structure of [WI(CO)2(CNBu)2(η-C7H7)]

Reaction of [MX(CO)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)] (M=Mo, X=Br; M=W, X=I) with two equivalents of CNBu^t in toluene affords the trihapto-bonded cycloheptatrienyl complexes [MX(CO)₂(CNBu^t)₂(η³-C₇H₇)] (1, M=Mo, X=Br; 2, M=W, X=I). The X-ray crystal structure of 2 reveals a pseudo-octahedral molecular geometry with an asymmetric ligand arrangement at tungsten in which one CNBu^t is located trans to the η³-C₇H₇ ring. Treatment of 2 with tetracyanoethene results in 1,4-cycloaddition at the η³-C₇H₇ ring to give [WI(CO)₂(CNBu^t)₂{η³-C₉H₇(CN)₄}], 3. The principal reaction type of the molybdenum complex 1 is loss of carbonyl and bromide ligands to afford substituted products [MoBr(CNBu^t)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)] 4 or [Mo(CO)(CNBu^t)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)]Br. Reaction of [MoBr(CO)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)] with one equivalent of CNBu^t in toluene at 60°C affords [MoBr(CO)(CNBu^t)(η⁷-C₇H₇)], 5, which is a precursor to [Mo(CO)(CNBu^t)(NCMe)(η⁷-C₇H₇)][BF₄], 6, by reaction with Ag[BF₄] in acetonitrile. In contrast with the parent dicarbonyl systems [MoX(CO)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)], complexes of the Mo(CO)(CNBu^t)(η⁷-C₇H₇) auxiliary, 5 and 6, do not afford observable η³-C₇H₇ products by ligand addition at the molybdenum centre.

o(CO)₃ (M = Mo, W; R = Me, Ph, p-MeC₆H₄) (2) (obtained from (CO)₃CpMCH₂CCR (1) and Co₂(CO)₈) to give (CO)₃ Cp(CO)₂ (3) was further investigated by a crossover experiment. Thus, reaction of an equimolar mixture of 2b (M = W, Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅, R = Ph) and 2e (M = W, Cp = η⁵-C₅H₄Me; R = p-MeC₆H₄) with CF₃COOH affords only 3b (same M, Cp, and R as 2b) and 3e (same M, Cp, and R as 2e) to show an intramolecular nature of this transformation. Reaction of (CO)₃CpWCH₂CCPh (1b) with Co₄(CO)₁₂ was also examined and found to yield 2b exclusively. Treatment of 1 with Cp₂Mo₂(CO)₄ at 0–5°C provides thermally sensitive compounds, possibly (CO)₂Cp

Trinuclear Metal Cluster Complexes Containing Fischer-Type Carbene Group from Oxidative Addition Reactions of Tris( N , N -diethyldithiocarbamato)cobalt with Co2(CO)8 and Ru3(CO)12

Two new Fischer-type carbene-containing trinuclear transition-metal clusters: (μ ₃-S)Co₃(CO)₇[μ, η ²-SCNEt₂] 1 and CoRu₂(CO)₉[μ ₃, η ²-SCNEt₂] 2 were obtained by the reaction of tris(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato)cobalt with Co₂(CO)₈ and Ru₃(CO)₁₂. These clusters contain thiocarboxamido ligand in different coordination modes. The thiocarboxamido ligand served as monometalated or dimetalated sulfur(diethy1amino) carbene ligand in these clusters. Clusters 1 and 2 were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Shielding of Electron Acceptors Coordinated to Rhenium(I) by Carboxylato Groups. Intraligand and Charge‐Transfer Excited‐State Properties of fac‐(‘Anthraquinone‐2‐carboxylato')(2,2′‐bipyridine)tricarbonylrhenium (fac‐[ReI(aq‐2‐CO2)(2,2′‐bipy)(CO)3])

The photophysical and photochemical properties of (OC‐6‐33)‐(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κN¹,κN¹′)tricarbonyl(9,10‐dihydro‐9,10‐dioxoanthracene‐2‐carboxylato‐κO)rhenium (fac‐[Re^I(aq‐2‐CO₂)(2,2′‐bipy)(CO)₃]) were investigated and compared to those of the free ligand 9,10‐dihydro‐9,10‐dioxoanthracene‐2‐carboxylate (=anthraquinone‐2‐carboxylate) and other carboxylato complexes containing the (2,2′‐bipyridine)tricarbonylrhenium ([Re(2,2′‐bipy)(CO)₃]) moiety. Flash and steady‐state irradiations of the anthraquinone‐derived ligand (λ_exc 337 or 351 nm) and of its complex reveal that the photophysics of the latter is dominated by processes initiated in the Re‐to‐(2,2′‐bipyridine) charge‐transfer excited state and 2,2′‐bipyridine‐ and (anthraquinone‐2‐carboxylato)‐centered intraligand excited states. In the reductive quenching by N,N‐diethylethanamine (TEA) or 2,2′,2″‐nitrilotris[ethanol] TEOA, the reactive states are the 2,2′‐bipyridine‐centered and/or the charge‐transfer excited states. The species with a reduced anthraquinone moiety is formed by the following intramolecular electron transfer, after the redox quenching of the excited state: [Re^I(aq−2−CO₂)(2,2′‐bipy^.)(CO)₃]⁻⇌[Re^I(aq−2−CO₂^.)(2,2′‐bipy)(CO)₃]⁻ The photophysics, particularly the absence of a Re^I‐to‐anthraquinone charge‐transfer excited state photochemistry, is discussed in terms of the electrochemical and photochemical results.     

Oxidative Addition of Diphenyl Disulfide/Thiophenol to [Mn(CO)5]−: Crystal Structure of cis-[Mn(CO)4(SPh)2]−

Oxidative addition of diphenyl disulfide to the coordinatively unsaturated [Mn(CO)₅]^? led to the formation of low-spin, six-coordinate cis-[Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]^?. The complex cis-[PPN][Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂] crystallized in monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 9.965(2) Å, b = 24.604(5) Å, c = 19.291(4) Å, β = 100.05(2)°, V = 4657(2)ų, and Z = 4; final R = 0.036 and R_w = 0.039. Thermal transformation of cis-[Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]^? to [(CO)₃Mn(μ-SPh)₃Mn(CO)₃]^? was completed overnight in THF at room temperature. Additionally, reaction of [Mn(CO)₅]^? and PhSH in 1:2 mole ratio also led to cis-[PPN](Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]. Presumably, oxidative addition of PhSH to [Mn(CO)₄]^? was followed by a Lewis acid-base reaction to form cis-[Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]^? with evolution of H₂.     

Improved syntheses of Ru(CO)2 (O3SCF3)2 (bidentate) complexes and their conversion into new [Ru(CO)2 (bidentate)2]2+ complexes

Reaction of the complexes Ru(CO)₂Cl₂L [L = 2,2′-bipyridyl (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)] with trifluoromethanesulphonic acid under carefully controlled conditions yields Ru[cis-(CO)₂] [cis-(O₃SCF₃)₂] (bidentate complexes. From reactions of the trifluoromethanesulphonates with the appropriate bidentate ligands, the new complexes [cis-Ru(CO)₂-L(L′)]²⁺ (L as above; L′ = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridyl or 4,4′-diisopropyl-2,2′-bipyridyl) as well as the known [_cis-Ru(CO)₂L₂]²⁺ and [cis-Ru(CO)₂bpy(phen)]²⁺ have been prepared.     

Synthesis of cis-[Ru(CO)2(S2X)2] [X = CNMe2, COEt, PPh2, P(OEt)2] and Molecular Structure of [Ru(CO){η2-S2P(OEt)2}{μ,η1,η2-S2P(OEt)2}]2

Two routes to 1,1-dithiolate complexes cis-[Ru(CO)₂(S₂X)₂] [X = NMe₂, OEt, PPh₂, P(OEt)₂] are presented. From the reaction of NH₄S₂P(OEt)₂ with the ruthenium(II) complex generated upon reduction of RuCl₃.3H₂O by CO in 2-methoxyethanol, along with the expected mononuclear product, cis-[Ru(CO)₂{η²-S₂P(OEt)₂}₂], binuclear [Ru(CO){η²-S₂P(OEt)₂} {μ,η¹,η²-S₂P(OEt)₂}]₂ was also produced. The latter has been crystallographically characterized and shows a trans-arrangement of carbonyls and cis-arrangement of terminal and bridging dithiolate ligands.     

Characterization of 99mTc(CO)3-iminodiacetic acid (IDA) and its comparison with 99mTc-(IDA)2 using compounds for hepatobiliary scintigraphy

The organometallic precursor of fac-[^99mTc(CO)₃(H₂O)₃]⁺ has attracted much attention because of the robustness and small size of Tc(I)-tricarbonyl complexes compared to Tc(V) complexes and the good labeling affinity with a variety of donor atoms. Among various ligand systems, an iminodiacetic acid (IDA) was proven as a good chelating group to form a Tc(III)-compelx as well as has been shown its potential as a chelating system for fac-[^99mTc(CO)₃] precursor. In an attempt to confirm the similarity and the difference between ^99mTc(CO)₃-IDA and ^99mTc-(IDA)₂-complex, M(CO)₃-IDA (M = ^99mTc, Re) complexes of disofenin, mebrofenin and N-(3-iodo-2,4,6-trimethyl phenylcarbamoylmethyl) iminodiacetic acid were prepared, and the biological evaluation of ^99mTc(CO)₃-disofenin was performed. The ^99mTc(CO)₃-IDA complexes were prepared with a high radiolabeling yield (>98%) in a quantitative manner and showed a negative charge. The in vivo pharmacokinetic behavior of ^99mTc(CO)₃-disofenin showed a similar biological activity to ^99mTc-(disofenin)₂ in that those complexes were quickly cleared from the blood by the hepatocytes and excreted into the gallbladder and intestine. Accordingly, the ^99mTc(CO)₃-IDA derivatives of disofenin and mebrofenin might be used as hepatobiliary imaging agents. Since an IDA is a promising chelator for ^99mTc-based radiopharmaceutical and the biological properties of ^99mTc(CO)₃-IDA derivative shows similar to that of ^99mTc-complex, a biomolecule containing IDA can be freely radiolabeled with fac-[^99mTc(CO)₃]-precursor or ^99mTc. However, the radiolabeling efficiency and the biological behavior demonstrates the favorable properties of ^99mTc(CO)₃-IDA compound for the development of a new imaging agent.

[M(CO)2(NO)], a new core in bioorganometallic chemistry: model complexes of [Re(CO)2(NO)] and [Tc(CO)2(NO)]

In this study selected bidentate (L²) and tridentate (L³) ligands were coordinated to the Re(I) or Tc(I) core [M(CO)₂(NO)]²⁺ resulting in complexes of the general formula fac-[MX(L²)(CO)₂(NO)] and fac-[M(L³)(CO)₂(NO)] (M = Re or Tc; X = Br or Cl). The complexes were obtained directly from the reaction of [M(CO)₂(NO)]²⁺ with the ligand or indirectly by first reacting the ligand with [M(CO)₃]⁺ and subsequent nitrosylation with [NO][BF₄] or [NO][HSO₄]. Most of the reactions were performed with cold rhenium on a macroscopic level before the conditions were adapted to the n.c.a. level with technetium (^99mTc). Chloride, bromide and nitrate were used as monodentate ligands, picolinic acid (PIC) as a bidentate ligand and histidine (HIS), iminodiacetic acid (IDA) and nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as tridentate ligands. We synthesised and describe the dinuclear complex [ReCl(μ-Cl)(CO)₂(NO)]₂ and the mononuclear complexes [NEt₄][ReCl₃(CO)₂(NO)], [NEt₄][ReBr₃(CO)₂(NO)], [ReBr(PIC)(CO)₂(NO)], [NMe₄][Re(NO₃)₃(CO)₂(NO)], [Re(HIS)(CO)₂(NO)][BF₄], [⁹⁹Tc(HIS)(CO)₂(NO)][BF₄], [^99mTc(IDA)(CO)₂ (NO)] and [^99mTc(NTA)(CO)₂(NO)]. The chemical and physical characteristics of the Re and Tc-dicarbonyl-nitrosyl complexes differ significantly from those of the corresponding tricarbonyl compounds.     

Some INDO perturbation calculations of nJ(NC) values

Standard INDO parameters are used in ‘sum-over-states’ perturbation calculations of ⁿJ(NC) in a variety of molecular environments. Good agreement with the experimental data is, in general, obtained when the integral products S_N²(o)S_C²(o) and 〈r^?3〉_N〈r^?3〉_C assume the values of 35.167 a.u.^?3 and 4.980 a.u.^?3, respectively. For ‘pyridine-type’ nitrogen atoms the major contribution to ⁿJ(NC) usually arises from the orbital term whereas the contact term dominates the values of ⁿJ(NC) for ‘pyrrole-type’ and amino nitrogen atoms.     

Comparison of reactivity of Ar(3P0) and Ar(3P2) metastable states. Rate constants for quenching by Kr and CO

A simple method is described for studying the reactions of metastable Ar(³P₀) and Ar(³P₂) atoms separately in a discharge-flow system. CO and Kr quench these states with rate constants in the ratio k₀ (CO)/k₂ (CO) = 8±1 and k₂ (Kr)/k₀(Kr) = 18±2.
