Synthesis and Structure of the New Compound La2O(CN2)2 Possessing an Interchanged Anion Proportion Compared to the Parent La2O2(CN2). Synthese und Kristallstruktur der neuen Verbindung La2O(CN2)2 mit einem vertauschten Anionenverhältnis gegenüber der Bezugsverbindung La2O2(CN2)

La₂O(CN₂)₂ was synthesized from a 1:1:2 molar reaction mixture of LaCl₃, LaOCl, and Li₂(CN₂) at 650 °C. Well developed single crystals were grown from a LiCl‐KCl flux. The crystal structure was refined as monoclinic (space group C2/c, Z = 2, a = 13.530(2) Å, b = 6.250(1) Å, c = 6.1017(9) Å, β = 104.81(2)°) from single crystal X‐ray diffraction data. The La³⁺ and (CN₂)^2— ions in the crystal structure of La₂O(CN₂)₂ can be compared to Fe³⁺ and S₂^2— ions in the cubic pyrite structure, being arranged like in a distorted NaCl type structure with their centers of gravity. In addition, the O^2— ions in La₂O(CN₂)₂ are occupying 1/4 of the tetrahedral voids formed by the arrangement of metal ions.     

The Structure of Hydrotris(pyrazolyl)boratothallium(I)

The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with a = 7.928(6), b = 9.306(4), c = 17.16(2) Å, β = 92.06(8)°, V = 1265(2) ų, Z = 2, D_calc = 2.191 g cm^–3. From two independent molecular units, metal-ligand strands are formed based on electrostatic interactions between the thallium centers and pyrazolyl π manifolds from neighboring molecules.     

Isolation and Characterization of a Dimeric Ruthenium(II) Complex. An Intermediate in the Ruthenium-Catalyzed Oxygen Oxidation of Thioethers to Sulfoxides

Complexes of the type Ru¹¹X₂(MeSO)_{2 or 3}(PR₃) are excel1ent catalysts for the selective oxygen oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides. The complex RuCl₂(Me₂SO)₃(PPh₃) is an example of such a catalyst, and its solution chemistry under simulated catalytic conditions reveals that only one detectable complex is present. This presumed catalytic complex has been isolated and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR and by an x-ray structure determination to be the chlorotri-μ-chlorotris(dimethyl sulfoxide)bis(triphenylphosphine) diruthenium, 2. Single crystals of 2 are monoclinic with space group P _21/c with a = 16.662(3)Å, b = 16.576(3)Å, c = 19.282(3)Å, and β =98.86(1)°. The structure was refined to R = 0.053(R_w = 0.069) by using 5186 unique reflections. Both Ru centers are coordinated in a distorted octahedral fashion having three μ-bridged chlorine atoms shared between them. RU₁ possesses three terminal ligands, one chloride, one triphenylphosphine and a dimethyl sulfoxide. RU₂ is terminally bonded to two Me₂SO centers and one triphenylphosphine. The μ-bridged chlorine atoms are bonded in an asymmetric fashion due to the differing trans-influences of the Cl^?, (CH₃)₂SO and PPh₃ ligands bonded to the metal centers. RU-μCl distances range from 2.436(2)Å to 2.490(2)Å, and Ru-S distances from 2.205(2)Å to 2.269(2)Å.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of the binuclear copper (II) complex of a new bis (1, 4, 7, 10‐tetraazacyclododecane) ligand

A new binucleating macrocyclic ligand 2,6‐bis (1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecan‐10‐ylmethyl) methoxy‐benzene (L) and its binuclear copper (II) complex, [Cu₂LBr₂] (CIO₄ )₂ · 3H₂O (1), was prepared and the structure was determined by X‐ray crystallography. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic crystal system, P2₁/n space group with a = 0.8206(3), b =2.0892(8), c = 2.3053(7) mn, β = 95.83(2)°, V = 3.932 nm³, Mr=1017.57, Z = 4, D_c =1.692 g/cm³, and R= 0.0489, R_w 0.0552 for 6571 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ (1). Both of the copper(II) centers are coordinated by four amine nitrogen donors of cyclen subunits and a bromide anion, and each copper(II) ion is in a square‐pyramidal coordination environment. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility studies indicate that there exists weak intramolecular antiferro‐magnetic coupling ( ?2J = 2.06 cm^?1) between the two copper (II) centers.     

One‐Handed Helical Screw Direction of Homopeptide Foldamer Exclusively Induced by Cyclic α‐Amino Acid Side‐Chain Chiral Centers

Chiral cyclic α,α‐disubstituted amino acids, (3S,4S)‐ and (3R,4R)‐1‐amino‐3,4‐(dialkoxy)cyclopentanecarboxylic acids ((S,S)‐ and (R,R)‐Ac₅c^dOR; R: methyl, methoxymethyl), were synthesized from dimethyl L ‐(+)‐ or D ‐(?)‐tartrate, and their homochiral homoligomers were prepared by solution‐phase methods. The preferred secondary structure of the (S,S)‐Ac₅c^dOMe hexapeptide was a left‐handed (M) 3₁₀ helix, whereas those of the (S,S)‐Ac₅c^dOMe octa‐ and decapeptides were left‐handed (M) α helices, both in solution and in the crystal state. The octa‐ and decapeptides can be well dissolved in pure water and are more α helical in water than in 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol solution. The left‐handed (M) helices of the (S,S)‐Ac₅c^dOMe homochiral homopeptides were exclusively controlled by the side‐chain chiral centers, because the cyclic amino acid (S,S)‐Ac₅c^dOMe does not have an α‐carbon chiral center but has side‐chain γ‐carbon chiral centers.     

The impact of higher polarization basis sets on molecular ab initio results.: III. The ground state of Cl2 in comparison with other diatomics

The ground state potential curve of Cl₂ has been computed near R_c by means of the SCF, MC SCF, CI(SD), and the recently proposed CPF methods. The convergence of the total energy, of D_c and R_c is studied with the aid of computations for various basis sets which include up to three d, two f and one g set. Higher polarization functions have a larger effect than for F₂ for all methods, the g set still affects D_c by 0.15 eV and R_c by 0.02 a₀ on the CPF level. The most elaborate calculation, on the CPF [7,4,3,2,1] level, yields D_c and R_c with an accuracy of 0.08 eV and 0.02 a₀. The same accuracy is obtained for the MC-178 CAS SCF treatment employing a 2d1f polarization basis set. The present results allow us to order the polarization functions according to their relative importance as: d⁽¹⁾ > f⁽¹⁾ > d⁽²⁾ > f⁽²⁾ = d⁽³⁾ > g⁽¹⁾ for the SCF and d⁽¹⁾ > f⁽¹⁾ > d⁽²⁾ > g⁽¹⁾ > f⁽²⁾ = d⁽³⁾ for methods including external correlation. CI(SD) or CPF. A comparison of the results for N₂, F₂, P₂, and Cl₂ shows the higher polarization functions d⁽³⁾, f⁽²⁾, g⁽¹⁾ to contribute 0.1 (F₂) to 0.3 eV (F₂, Cl₂) to D_c and affect R_c by 0.005 a₀ (N₂) to 0.01 7 a₀ (P₂).We have focused our attention mainly on the impact of the atomic basis set incompleteness on the accuracy of results obtained from various methods of computation. Cl₂ turns out to be more demanding than the first-row counterpart F₂ on all levels of theory, which is mainly due to the slower angular convergence rate for E, D_c and R_c (for Cl₂), tables 2 and 3. The more pronounced influence of higher polarization functions is already noticed on the SCF and MC SCF level: f⁽¹⁾ increases D_c by 0.18 eV and reduces R_c by 0.052 a₀ on the MC-178 level for Cl₂, table 6, typical corresponding results for F₂ are only 0.04 eV and 0.013 a₀ [1]. CAS SCF calculations furthermore appear to require larger active spaces for Cl₂, as discussed in section 3.3.On the CI(SD) or CPF level — which aim to account for the entire external correlation — one even finds a pronounced influence of the first g set which contributes ≈ 0.15 eV to D_c and reduces R_c by ≈ 0.02 a₀ (on the CPF level, table 3), the corresponding effects for F₂ were only ≈ 0.04 eV and 0.01 a₀ [1]. The 2d1f polarization basis, which will remain the “standard” large basis for treatments of tri- and tetraatomic molecules, appears to underestimate D_c by still 0.5 eV and to overestimate R_c by ≈ 0.02 a₀ for P₂ and Cl₂, table 7, and probably all molecules in-between. This conclusion emerges from the cumulative effect of adding d⁽³⁾, f⁽²⁾ and g⁽¹⁾ which amounts already to 0.3 eV and 0.015 a₀, table 7.

Stereoselective Inclusion and Structure of Equatorial-trans-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane

Abstract

Optically active (R,R)-(-)-trans-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane (DCC) was isolated as an inclusion crystal with the optically active host, (R,R)-(-)-trans-2,3-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.4]-nonane, and the structure of the 2:1 inclusion crystal has been determined by X-ray analysis. Crystal data: C₇₂H₇₄O₈Cl₂, orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2 (No. 18), a = 17.465(6) Å, b = 20.095(6) Å, c = 8.664(5) Å, V = 3040(2) ų, Z = 2, D_c = 1.24g cm^?3, D_m = 1.23g cm^?3, T = 293 K and final R ₁ = 0.050 for 2766 observed data (I > 2σ(I)). The conformation of DCC in the inclusion crystal has been found to be equatorial and the absolute configuration was definitely determined to be (R,R) on the basis of the known configuration of the host.

Analysis of NH3-TPD Profiles for CuSSZ-13 SCR Catalyst of Controlled Al Distribution – Complexity Resolved by First Principles Thermodynamics of NH3 Desorption,IR and EPR Insight into Cu Speciation**

NH₃ temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD) is frequently used for probing the nature of the active sites in CuSSZ-13 zeolite for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO_x. Herein, we propose an interpretation of NH₃-TPD results, which takes into account the temperature-induced dynamics of NH₃ interaction with the active centers. It is based on a comprehensive DFT/GGA+D and first-principles thermodynamic (FPT) modeling of NH₃ adsorption on single Cu²⁺, Cu⁺, [CuOH]⁺ centers, dimeric [Cu-O-Cu]²⁺, [Cu-O₂²⁻-Cu]² species, segregated CuO nanocrystals and Brønsted acid sites (BAS). Theoretical TPD profiles are compared with the experimental data measured for samples of various Si/Al ratios and distribution of Al within the zeolite framework. Copper reduction, its relocation, followed by the intrazeolite olation/oxolation processes, which are concomitant with NH₃ desorption, were revealed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and IR. DFT/FPT results show that the peaks in the desorption profiles cannot be assigned univocally to the particular Cu and BAS centers, since the observed low-, medium- and high-temperature desorption bands have contributions coming from several species, which dynamically change their speciation and redox states during NH₃-TPD experiment. Thus, a rigorous interpretation of the NH₃-TPD profiles of CuSSZ-13 in terms of the strength and concentration of the active centers of a particular type is problematic. Nonetheless, useful connections for molecular interpretation of TPD profiles can be established between the individual component peaks and the corresponding ensembles of the adsorption centers.     

Die kristallstruktur von octamethylcyclotetrasilan bei 87 K

The crystal structure of octamethylcyclotetrasilane was determined at 87 K by X-ray diffraction methods: C₈H₂₄Si₄, monoclinic, P2₁/n, a 7.650(2), b 7.452(1), c 13.320(10), Å, β 103.48(2)°, Z = 2, d_x 1.046 g cm^?3. In the crystal, Si₄Me₈ molecules are located at crystallographic inversion centers, which constrains the Si₄-ring to be planar.     

Ferrocytochrome c and deoxyhemoglobin in the reaction with the iron cysteamine nitrosyl complex {Fe2[S(CH2)2NH3]2(NO)4}SO4·2.5H2O

By an example of the iron cysteamine nitrosyl complex {Fe₂[S(CH₂)₂NH₃]₂(NO)₄}SO₄··2.5H₂O (CAC), it was shown for the first time that the hydrolysis of this NO donor in the presence of ferrocytochrome c (cyt c ²⁺) affords the iron nitrosyl complex NO-cyt c ²⁺, which serves as the NO depot. The rate constant of NO release from CAC was determined from the kinetics of the formation of NO-cyt c ²⁺. At pH 3.0 the rate constant is (2.7±0.1)·10⁻³ s⁻¹. Ferrocytochrome c produces a less stabilizing effect on CAC than deoxyhemoglobin (Hb). Thus in the presence of cyt c ²⁺, the reaction is completed in 1 h, whereas NO is released from a solution of CAC (2·10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹) in the presence of Hb during 40 h. The previously unknown stabilization of iron nitrosyl complexes by hemoglobin was found.     

New Molybdenyl Iodates: Hydrothermal Preparation and Structures of Molecular K2MoO2(IO3)4 and Two-Dimensional β-KMoO3(IO3)

Two new molybdenyl iodates, K₂MoO₂(IO₃)₄ (1) and β-KMoO₃(IO₃) (2), have been prepared from the reactions of MoO₃ with KIO₄ and NH₄Cl at 180°C in aqueous media. The structure of 1 consists of molecular [MoO₂(IO₃)₄]²⁻ anions separated by K⁺ cations. The Mo(VI) centers are ligated by two cis-oxo ligands and four monodentate iodate anions. Both terminal and bridging oxygen atoms of the iodate anions form long ionic contacts with the K⁺ cations. β-KMoO₃(IO₃) (2) displays a two-dimensional layered structure constructed from ²_∞[(MoO₃(IO₃)]¹⁻ anionic sheets separated by K⁺ cations. These sheets are built from one-dimensional chains formed from corner-sharing MoO₆ octahedra that run along the b-axis that are linked together through bridging iodate groups. K⁺ cations separate the layers from one another and form long contacts with oxygen atoms from both the iodate anions and molybdenyl moieties. Crystallographic data: 1, monoclinic, space group C2/c, a=12.8973(9) Å, b=6.0587(4) Å, c=17.694(1) Å, β=102.451(1)°, Z=4, MoKα, λ=0.71073, R(F)=2.64% for 97 parameters with 1584 reflections with I>2σ(I); 2, monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a=7.4999(6) Å, b=7.4737(6) Å, c=10.5269(8) Å, β=109.023(1)°, Z=4, MoKα, λ=0.71073, R(F)=2.73% for 83 parameters with 1334 reflections with I>2σ(I).     

Zum Einfluß der Zusammensetzung gemischter Lösungsmittel auf die Stabilitäts- und Bildungskonstanten von Kupfer(II)- und Nickel(II)-Komplexen substituierter 1,2-Dioxime

Influence of the Composition of Mixed Solvents on the Stability and Formation Constants of Copper (II) and Nickel(II) Complexes of Substituted 1,2-Dioximes The stability constants ^cK₁, ^cK₂, and _cβ₂ of the complexes which are formed in the systems M²⁺/DH₂, M²⁺/Ac? DH₂, and M²⁺/Et, Me\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm N}\limits^ \oplus $\end{document}? DH₂ (M²⁺ ? Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺; DH₂, Ac? DH₂, Et₂Me\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm N}\limits^ \oplus $\end{document}? DH₂ = 1,2-dioximes) are determined in water and in water-dioxane mixtures (25, 50 and 75 per cent). Because of the stabilisation of the l,2-complexes by intramolecular hydrogen bonds ^cK₂, is always higher than ^cK₁. On account of the decrease of the dielectricity constant the constants ^cK₁, ^cK₂, and ^cβ₂, rise with increasing contents of dioxane in the mixtures. The influence of the dielectricity constant may be eliminated by considering the formation constants ^cK_1(B), ^cK_2(B), and ^cβ_2(B). The individual formation constants ^cK_1(B) of the 1,l-complexes investigated are independent of the composition of the solvent, but among the overall formation constants ^cβ_2(B) this comes true only for the complexes Ni(Ac? DH)₂, Ni(Et₂Me\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm N}\limits^ \oplus $\end{document}? DH)₂, and Cu(Et₂Me\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm N}\limits^ \oplus $\end{document}? DH)₂. With Cu(DH₂) and Cu(Ac? DH)₂ a linear relation between log ^cβ_2(B) and the molar fraction of water is stated. This effect is attributed to a specific solvatation of the chelates Cu(DH)₂ and Cu(Ac? DH)₂ by water.     

Phosphorus–nitrogen compounds: Part 19. Syntheses,structural and electrochemical investigations,biological activities,and DNA interactions of new spirocyclic monoferrocenylcyclotriphosphazenes

The reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene, N₃P₃Cl₆, with N-alkyl-N-ferrocenylmethylethylene diamines, FcCH₂NH(CH₂)₂NHR₁ [R₁ = Me (1) and Et (2)], and sodium [3-(N-ferrocenylmethylamino)-1-propanoxide] (3) produce spirocyclic monoferrocenyl tetrachlorophosphazenes (1a–3a). The tetrapyrrolidinophosphazenes (1b–3b) are prepared from the reactions of corresponding phosphazenes (1a–3a) with excess pyrrolidine. The reaction of 1a with excess morpholine affords geminal-morpholino phosphazene (1c), whilst the reactions of 2a and 3a give diethylaminotrimorpholino (2c) and fully substituted morpholino products (3c), respectively. The structural investigations of the compounds are examined by Fourier transform IR, MS, ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, DEPT, HETCOR, and HMBC techniques. The crystal structures of 3b and 3c are determined using X-ray crystallography. Cyclic voltammetric and chronoamperometric data show that compounds 1a–3a, 1b–3b, and 1c–3c exhibit electrochemically reversible one-electron oxidation of Fc redox centers which are hardly affected by the substituents on the phosphazene ring. The compounds 1b, 2b, 3b, and 3c are screened for antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and for antifungal activities against yeast strains. In addition, the antituberculosis activities (in vitro) of these compounds are evaluated against INH-susceptible reference strain M. tuberculosis H37Rv, and six multi-drug resistant clinical M. tuberculosis isolates. Compound 2b is found to be the most active against the susceptible the reference strain. In addition, 1b, 2b, and 3c are active against all the multidrug-resistant clinical isolates at the highest concentrations. Gel electrophoresis data indicate that the compounds promote the formation of strand breaks in plasmid DNA. Almost all the concentrations lost of supercoiled DNA suggests that the compound 3b is very efficient plasmid-modifier. The compounds inhibit BamHI cleavage of pUC18 DNA while restricting HindIII.     

ANIONIC COORDINATION COMPLEXES OF Mo AND W WHICH CRYSTALLIZE FROM LIQUID CLATHRATE MEDIA WITH OXONIUM ION-CROWN ETHER CATIONS

Abstract

The complexes [H₃O⁺·18-crown-6][MoOCl₄(H₂O)^?], 1, and [H₂O·aza-18-crown-6·(H⁺)] [MoOCl₄(H₂O)^?], 3, were synthesized from a mixture of Mo(CO)₆, HCl(g), H₂O and either 18-crown-6 for 1 or mono-aza-18-crown-6 for 3, in toluene. For complex 4, [H₂O·aza-18-crown-6·(H⁺)]₂[WOCl₄(H₂O)^?][Cl^?], reaction conditions were as for 3 except W(CO)₆ was used in place of Mo(CO)₆. Similarly, for complex 2, [H₃O⁺·18-crown-6][WOBr₄(H₂O)^?], W(CO)₆ and HBr were used in the reaction mixture. These reactions were promoted by UV radiation and formed liquid clathrates almost immediately upon reaction. X-ray crystal structures were performed on each compound. Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P/i with a = 10.206(1), b = 10.486(1), c = 11.701(1) Å, α = 71.11(1), β = 74.60(1), γ = 75.08(1)°, and D _c = 1.649 g cm^?3 for Z = 2. Refinement based on 3925 observed reflections led to a final R value of 0.078. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 9.710(1), b = 19.824(1), c = 12.399(1) Å, β = 104.58(1)°, and D _c = 2.369 g cm^?3 for Z = 4. Refinement based on 2008 observed reflections led to a final R value of 0.090. Complex 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnmn with a = 16.927(1), b = 12.226(1), c = 11.167(1) Å, and D _c = 1.598 g cm^?3 for Z = 4. Refinement based on 1486 observed reflections led to a final R value of 0.040. Complex 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with a = 11.761(2), b = 12.096(2), c = 14.966(1) Å, β = 132.91(1)°, and D _c = 1.502 g cm^?3 for Z = 4. Refinement based on 2021 observed reflections led to a final R value of 0.051. In all cases the metal coordination sphere was essentially octahedral with the water ligand trans to the oxo species.     

Ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes of P,P and P,O donor diphosphine ligands,Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 and Ph2P(CH2)nP(O)Ph2, n = 2, 3 and their activities in catalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions

The polymeric precursor [RuCl₂(CO)₂]_n reacts with the ligands, P∩P (a, b) and P∩O (c, d), in 1:1 M ratio to generate six-coordinate complexes [RuCl₂(CO)₂(?²-P∩P)] (1a, 1b) and [RuCl₂(CO)₂(?²-P∩O)] (1c, 1d), where P∩P: Ph₂P(CH₂)_nPPh₂, n = 2(a), 3(b); P∩O: Ph₂P(CH₂)_nP(O)Ph₂, n = 2(c), 3(d). The complexes are characterized by elemental analyses, mass spectrometry, thermal studies, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. 1a–1d are active in catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone and its derivatives to corresponding alcohols with turnover frequency (TOF) of 75–290 h^?1. The complexes exhibit higher yield of hydrogenation products than catalyzed by RuCl₃ itself. Among 1a–1d, the Ru(II) complexes of bidentate phosphine (1a, 1b) show higher efficiency than their monoxide analogs (1c, 1d). However, the recycling experiments with the catalysts for hydrogenation of 4-nitroacetophenone exhibit a different trend in which the catalytic activities of 1a, 1b, and 1d decrease considerably, while 1c shows similar activity during the second run.
