Conclusions In the interaction of salts of 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptanitro- or 1,5-difluoro-1,1,3,5,5-pentanitropentanes with nitrating systems based on HNO₃, 1,1,1,3,3,5,5,5-octanitro- or 1,5-difluoro-1,1,3,3,5,5-hexanitropentanes, 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexanitro- or 1,5-difluoro-1,1,5,5-tetranitropentan-3-ones, the O-bis-(2,2,2-trinitroethyl)nitromethyl ether of bis(2,2,2-trinitroethyl)carboxime or the O-bis(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl)nitromethyl ether of bis(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl)carboxime are formed. The ratio of the reaction products depends on the composition of the nitrating system. The data obtained permit us to consider that the nitrating reagent is a nonionized form of HONO₂ or AcONO₂.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1357–1361, June 1986.

Investigations of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 9. Reaction of 1′,4′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolyl with organolithium compounds

The 1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyl reacts with organolithium compounds to form the mixture of 4-R-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls and 2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls in the ratio analogous to the conversion in the series of 2,3-biquinolyl. The utilization of the complex, the organolithium compound-TMEDA, in this process leads, after treatment of the reaction mixture with water, exclusively to 2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls. Treatment with methyl iodide leads to 1-methyl-2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls.

The effect of zinc(II) on the formation of 2,2′- and 2,3′-bipyridine complexes of [Ru2II(ttha)]2−(ttha6−=triethylenetetraminehexaacetate)

Ru2II(ttha)(H2O)2]2– (ttha6–= triethylene tetramine hexa-acetate), prepared by the reduction of the ruthenium(III) precursor, reacts with 2,2-bipyridine (2,2-bpy) in a multi-step fashion. The first 2,2-bpy equivalent (1:1) adds with bidentate chelation at one ruthenium(II) site as revealed by separate ruthenium(II)/(III) waves at 0.03 and 0.54V vs. n.h.e. A second equivalent of 2,2-bpy (1:2) is initially stored and retained as the [Zn(2,2-bpy)]2+ complex. Further addition of 2,2-bpy initiates coordination at the second ruthenium(II) site. [Ru2(ttha)-(2,2-bpy)(H2O)]2– forms a strong ion-pair with zinc(II) that is in rapid equilibrium with the Zn(H2O)62+/Zn(2,2-bpy)]2+ pool. The solubility of the ion-pair is low. The ion-pair exhibits a shifted ruthenium(II)/(III) wave at 0.60V. Higher amounts of 2,2-bpy recomplex the zinc(II), solubilizing the complex and returning the E1/2 value to 0.54V. Other ligands which either have a higher affinity for ruthenium(II) centres than for zinc(II) as bidentate donors (1,10-phenanthroline), or ligands that cannot form bidentate zinc(II) complexes [(2-methylpyrazine, 4,4-bipyridine (4,4-bpy), and 2,3-bipyridine (2,3-bpy)] do not exhibit the unusual competition by zinc(II). These ligands all add statistically to the ruthenium(II) centres forming 1:2 complexes with 1:2 stoichiometries. 1H-n.m.r. studies of the Ru(II)polyaminopolycarboxylate complexes [RuII(hedta)(H2O)]– complex, and [Ru2(ttha)(H2O)2]2– itself, reveal that substitution of 2,3-bpy at ruthenium(II) sites occurs with an initial kinetic split between the pyridyl rings of the 3- less-hindered and 2-more-hindered ring. A slower rearrangement occurs, producing the isomer of the more-hindered 2-substituted ring. A process is driven by forming a more -accepting system when ruthenium(II) binds to the 2-ring of 2,3-bpy. Understanding the unusual influence of zinc(II) on the substitution of 2,2-bpy with [Ru2(ttha)(H2O)2]2– clarifies the nature of the 1:1 complex – namely that the 2,2-bpy becomes bidentate at one ruthenium(II) centre rather than serving as a trans-bridging ligand between both ruthenium(II) centres within one [Ru2(ttha)]2– unit.
