Reactions of metal iodides as a simple route to heterometallics: synthesis, structural transformations, thermal and luminescent properties of novel hybrid iodoargentate derivatives templated by [YL8]3+ or [YL7]3+ cations (L = DMF or DMSO)

A 1 : 3 molar reaction of YI3 and AgI in dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of NH4I afforded [Y(DMF)8][Ag3(mu3-I)(mu-I)3I2] (1) with good yield, whereas the similar reaction in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) gave complexes [Y(DMSO)8][Ag2(mu-I)3I2] (2) and/or [Y(DMSO)8]2[Ag4(mu3-I)2(mu-I)4I2][I]2 (3), depending on the reaction and crystallization conditions. These discrete heterometallic hybrid compounds 1-3 undergo solid- and solution-state transformations via condensation of iodoargentate anions. So in the confined and solvent-free environment of paratone, crystals of 1 transformed into a 1D zig-zag structure [Y(DMF)8]3+[Ag6(mu4-I)2(mu3-I)2(mu-I)5]1infinity(3-) (4), whereas those of 2 were first converted into 3 and finally into [Y(DMSO)7]4[Ag4(mu3-I)4I4]3 (5). In solution phase, re-crystalization of 1 or 2 from DMSO-toluene gave 3 as an exclusive species, whereas reaction of 1 with 3 equiv of AgI in DMF afforded 4 with good yield. Alternatively, 4 could also be synthesized with excellent yield from a 1 : 6 molar reaction of YI3 and AgI. The above transformations suggest that, for a given metal-organic cation, an iodometallate cluster with higher nuclearity is thermodynamically more stable. Single crystal X-ray structures are reported for all the compounds and a mechanism for the structural transformation of 2 to 3 is proposed. In addition, spectroscopic, thermo-gravimetric and luminescent properties of the complexes 1, 3 and 4, which were obtained exclusively and in pure form, are also described.     

A novel entry toward 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidines and 2-imino-1,3-thiazolines by ring transformation of 2-(thiocyanomethyl)aziridines

A new, efficient, and straightforward synthesis of 3-arylmethyl-4-chloromethyl-2-imino-1,3-thiazolidines and 2-(N-acylimino)-3-arylmethyl-4-chloromethyl-1,3-thiazolidines has been developed by ring transformation of 1-arylmethyl-2-(thiocyanomethyl)aziridines upon treatment with a catalytic amount of titanium(IV) chloride in dichloromethane. The latter 2-(thiocyanomethyl)aziridines were prepared in high yields from 1-arylmethyl-2-(bromomethyl)aziridines by reaction with potassium thiocyanate in DMF. The 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidines and 2-(N-acylimino)-1,3-thiazolidines thus obtained can be easily interconverted, either by treatment with an acid chloride and a base in ether toward 2-(N-acylimino)thiazolidines or by treatment with potassium carbonate in methanol toward N-deprotected 2-iminothiazolidines. Dehydrohalogenation of 2-(N-acylimino)-3-arylmethyl-4-chloromethyl-1,3-thiazolidines by means of potassium tert-butoxide in DMSO afforded 2-(N-acylimino)-4-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-thiazolines in good yields.     

Solid- and solution phase transformations in novel hybrid iodoplumbate derivatives templated by solvated yttrium complexes

Solvated yttrium iodide precursors [Y(L)8]I3 [L = dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)], prepared in situ by stirring YI3(Pr(i)OH)4 in DMF/DMSO, react with 3 equiv of PbI2 in the presence of NH4I to give novel hybrid derivatives based on either a one-dimensional (1D) straight chain, [Y(DMF)8][Pb3(mu-I)9](1infinity) x DMF (1), or discrete pentanuclear iodoplumbates, [Y(DMSO)8]2[(DMSO)2Pb5(mu3-I)2(mu-I)8I6] (2a). The complex 2a and a closely related [Y(DMSO)8][Y(DMSO)7(DMF)][(DMSO)2Pb5(mu3-I)2(mu-I)8I6] (2b) were obtained in good yield by solution phase transformation of 1 in DMSO under slight different conditions. Derivatives 1 and 2 also undergo unique solid-state transformation in a confined environment of paratone to give 1D polymers based on zigzag iodoplumbate chains; crystals of 1 transform into [Y(DMF)6(H2O)2][Pb3(mu3-I)(mu-I)7I](1infinity) (3) via an exchange reaction, whereas those of 2a and 2b are converted into [Y(DMSO)7][Pb3(mu3-I)(mu-I)7I](1infinity) (4) via a decomposition pathway. The trifurcate H-bonding between water ligands on yttrium cation and iodide of the iodoplumbate anion plays a pivotal role in transforming the straight 1D polymeric Pb-I chain of 1 into a zigzag chain in 3. The thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis studies indicate that complexes with DMF ligands are thermally more stable than those with DMSO ones, the mixed DMF-H2O ligand complex 3 being the most stable one because of the presence of strong H-bonding. Diffuse-reflectance UV-visible spectral analyses of 1-4 show an optical band gap in the 1.86-2.54 eV range, indicating these derivatives as potential semiconductors. In contrast to non-emissive 3 and 4, derivatives 1, 2a, and 2b show remarkable luminescent emission with peak maxima at 703 nm, assigned as an iodine 5p-lead 6s to lead 6p charge transfer (XM-M-CT).     

The reaction of selenium dichloride with divinyl sulfide

A synthesis of novel selenium heterocycles based on the reaction of selenium dichloride with divinyl sulfide has been described. At −50 °C the reaction affords 2,6-dichloro-1,4-thiaselenane in quantitative yield. At room temperature the reaction gives 2,6-dichloro-1,4-thiaselenane and 5-chloro-2-chloromethyl-1,3-thiaselenolane. Upon standing in chloroform solution, 2,6-dichloro-1,4-thiaselenane undergoes spontaneous rearrangement to 5-chloro-2-chloromethyl-1,3-thiaselenolane. Under the action of pyridine, 2,6-dichloro-1,4-thiaselenane is converted to 2-chloromethyl-1,3-thiaselenole in 95% yield.     

The addition of phenylsulfenyl chloride to 5-methylene-2-norbornene synthesis of tricyclo-eka-santalol

Phenylsulfenyl chloride adds to 5-methylene-2-norbornene to give 1-chloromethyl-3-nortricyclyl phenyl sulfide in good yield. This reaction is used in a tricyclo-eka-santalol synthesis.     

Reactions of triads Se8KOHDMSO,Se8KOHDMSO,TeKOHHMPA with acetylenes

A new general approach to anionic transformations of acetylenes using superbasic media has been developed. It allows series of new reactions which are not undergone by acetylene under conventional conditions. The triads Se₈KOHdimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), Se₈KOHDMSO, TeKOH-hexamethyl-phosphorictriamide (HMPA) are proposed as new effective reagents for the preparation of unsaturated compounds of sulfur, selenium and tellerium. A series of reactions of acetylene with sulfur, selenium and tellerium proceeding in DMSO or HMPA in the presence of alkali and water at 80–120° leading to divinyl sulfide, divinyl selenide and divinyl teluride in 25–80% yields have been found. Thiophen, di-1-(1,3-butadienyl) sulfide, 1-vinyl-2-thiabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-ene, and dihydrothiophen have been obtained by the reaction of vinylacetate with sulfur. The reaction of vinylacetylene with selenium affords selenophen, di-1-(1,3-butadienyl) selenide, 1-vinyl-2-selenabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-ene, methyl (1-(1,3-butadienyl) sulfide, and methylthiomethyl 1-(1,4-butadienyl) selenide, vinyl 1-(1,3-butadienyl) sulfide, and methylthiomethyl 1-(1,3-butadienyl) selenide (the latter two with DMSO participation). The reaction of vinylacetate with tellerium gives mainly di-1-(1,3-butadienyl) telluride. A series of reactions between DMSO and selenium leading to dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl sulfoselenide, and methylthiomethyl selenide have been observed.     

Reactions of thioquinanthrene with alkanethiolates. The smiles rearrangement of diquinolinyl sulfides

Reactions of thioquinanthrene 1 with alkali metal alkanethiolates in DMSO or DMF at 70° proceeded through a stage of the S→S type of the Smiles rearrangement (3′-quinolinethiolate 2A→ 4′-quinolinethiolate 3A ) to give 4,4′-dialkylthio-3,3′-diquinolinyl sulfides 3 as the final products. When these reactions were carried out at 20° two types of the products were isolated: 3′,4-dialkylthio-3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 2 or sulfides 3 depending on the reaction time (1 hour or 7 days). Under acidic conditions 3 ′-quinolinethiolate 2A underwent intramolecular cyclization to dithiin 1 . Reactions of dithiin 1 with sodium alkanethiolates at 20°, realized as a one-pot procedure, led to various 3,4-dialkylthioquinolines 7 . The rearrangement of other 3′-quinolinethiolates 8A and 11A (the products of the reactions of dithiin 1 with sodium sulfide and sodium methoxide) needed higher temperature (140°).     

2D-grid layered Pd-based cationic infinite coordination polymer/polyoxometalate crystal with hydrophilic sorption

The inorganic-organic hybrid compound composed of the novel infinite-chain Pd(II) complex and the polyoxometalate ({[(en)Pd(p-bpy)]2[alpha-SiW12O40].8DMSO.4DMF}infinity (1a:1 with 8DMSO.4DMF; monoclinic P2(1)/c (No. 14), a = 15.0188(3) A, b = 15.6962(3) A, c = 26.9793(6) A, beta = 106.3580(10) degrees , V = 6102.6(2) A(3)) has been successfully synthesized by the reaction of [(en)Pd(OH2)2]2[alpha-SiW12O40] (2) with 4,4'-bipyridine (p-bpy). The treatment in dry N(2) at 50 degrees C or evacuation at room temperature forms {[(en)Pd(p-bpy)](2)[alpha-SiW(12)O(40)].6.0DMSO}(infinity) (1b:1 with 6DMSO) with a drastic reduction of the interlayer spacing, which is characterized by the powder diffraction analysis and the single-crystal analysis of 1c (1 with 4.5DMSO.3.5DMF; monoclinic P2(1)/a (No. 14), a = 14.200(9) A, b = 22.8865(8) A, c = 14.8558(5) A, beta = 114.7990(10) degrees , V = 4383.0(2) A(3)). Compound 1b reversibly sorbs the hydrophilic molecules with the maintenance of the intrinsic structure, which is much different from hydrophobic guest-inclusion properties reported in the other Pd-based supramolecular systems.     

Crystal-to-crystal transformations in heterometallic yttrium(III)-copper(I) iodide derivatives in a confined solvent-free environment: influence of solvated yttrium cations on the nuclearity and dimensionality of iodocuprate clusters

The solvated yttrium iodide precursors [Y(L)(8)]I(3) (L = DMSO or DMF), prepared in situ by stirring YI(3)(Pr(i)OH)(4) in DMSO or DMF, react with CuI in the presence of NH(4)I to give ionic hetero-metallic species [Y(DMSO)(8)][Cu(2)(mu-I)I(4)] (1) and [Y(DMF)(8)][Cu(4)(mu(3)-I)(2)(mu-I)(3)I(2)] (2) in excellent yields. Re-crystallization of 1 from DMF afforded the mixed-solvate complex [Y(DMSO)(6)(DMF)(2)][CuI(3)][I] (3). Compounds 2 and 3 undergo unique crystal-to-crystal transformation via progressive substitution of DMF by water molecules in a confined, solvent-free environment. Thus, crystals of 3 transform into [Y(DMSO)(6)(H(2)O)(2)][CuI(3)][I] (4), whereas a discrete ion-pair assembly of 2 is first converted into a 1-D zig-zag structure [Y(DMF)(6)(H(2)O)(2)](3+)[Cu(7)(mu(4)-I)(3)(mu(3)-I)(2)(mu-I)(4)(I)](1infinity)(3-) (5) and finally into a 2-D sheet containing mixed-valent copper atoms, [Y(DMF)(6)(H(2)O)(3)](3+)[Cu(I)(7)Cu(II)(2)(mu(3)-I)(8)(mu-I)(6)](2infinity)(3-) (6). The bi- and tetrafurcate H-bonding between water ligands on yttrium and iodides of the Cu-I cluster plays a pivotal role in the evolution of structures 4-6. Formation of a wide range of iodocuprate structures in 1-6, from discrete mono-, di- or tetranuclear units to one- and two-dimensional extended arrays, reflects the influence of solvated yttrium cations on the nuclearity and dimensionality of Cu-I clusters. TG-DTA-MS studies and DFT calculations for these complexes have also been carried out in order to determine their thermal stability and have insight about aforesaid transformations.

Effect of polar aprotic solvents on the trimerization of phenyl isocyanate by organometallic catalysts

Studies of the trimerization of phenyl isocyanate by organometallic catalysts in the presence of various solvents have shown that dipolar aprotic solvents, such as DMSO and DMF, even in small amounts enhance greatly the rate of reaction. In accordance with their mode of action and of the effect of DMSO or DMF, the catalysts could be divided into three groups. Group I comprises tributyltin oxide, Ti(OBu)₄ and Zr(OBu)₄, which give a fast addition to the isocyanate. Maximum increase in rate was observed at DMSO:PhNCO = 1:1 due to the formation of a 1:1 charge transfer complex between them. Group 2 comprises naphthenates of Pb.Zr and Co which form complexes with the isocyanate, the reaction being much faster with the C.T. complex of DMSO and PhNCO: maximum increase in rate was observed at low DMSO concentrations, about the same as that of the catalyst. Group 3 comprises nucleophiles such as the amine catalysts, where the enhancement in rate was not great, due to the same mode of nucleophilic interaction of the catalyst and DMSO or DMF with the isocyanate.

Theoretical and experimental study on the in-plane S(N)2-type substitution reaction of haloalkenes with inversion of configuration at the sp(2) carbon

[reaction: see text] The intramolecular in-plane S(N)2 type reaction of haloalkene E-8a was predicted to be a facile process for the first time by DFT calculations (B3LYP/6-31+G(d),SCRF(dipole, solvent = DMF)) (DeltaG = 14.4 kcal/mol). The prediction was confirmed experimentally. When E-8a was treated with NaH in DMF, benzofuran was obtained in 95% yield. On the other hand, Z-8a was recovered quantitatively even after heating at 110 degrees C.     

Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies on UO(2)(saloph)L (saloph = N,N'-disalicylidene-o-phenylenediaminate,L=dimethyl sulfoxide or N,N-dimethylformamide)

To examine properties of pentavalent uranium, U(V), we have carried out electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies on UO(2)(saloph)L [saloph = N,N'-disalicylidene-o-phenylenediaminate, L = dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)]. The electrochemical reactions of UO(2)(saloph)L complexes in L were found to occur quasireversibly. The reduction processes of UO(2)(saloph)L complexes were followed spectroelectrochemically by using an optical transparent thin layer electrode cell. It was found that the absorption spectra measured at the applied potentials from 0 to -1.650 V versus ferrocene/ferrocenium ion redox couple (Fc/Fc(+)) for UO(2)(saloph)DMSO in DMSO have clear isosbestic points and that the evaluated electron stoichiometry equals 1.08. These results indicate that the reduction product of UO(2)(saloph)DMSO is [U(V)O(2)(saloph)DMSO](-), which is considerably stable in DMSO. Furthermore, it was clarified that the absorption spectrum of the [U(V)O(2)(saloph)DMSO](-) complex has a very small molar absorptivity in the visible region and characteristic absorption bands due to the 5f(1) orbital at around 750 and 900 nm. For UO(2)(saloph)DMF in DMF, the clear isosbestic points were not observed in the similar spectral changes. It is proposed that the UO(2)(saloph)DMF complex is reduced to [U(V)O(2)(saloph)DMF](-) accompanied by the dissociation of DMF as a successive reaction. The formal redox potentials of UO(2)(saloph)L in L (E(0), vs Fc/Fc(+)) for U(VI)/U(V) couple were determined to be -1.550 V for L = DMSO and -1.626 V for L = DMF.
