Transition Metal Halide Salts of 1,3-bis(4-Pyridyl)propane: Synthesis and Structural Characterization

The resulting salts of (H₂bpp)MX₄ · n H₂O (M = Zn, X = Cl, n = 1, 1; M = Cd, X = Br, n = 0, 2; M = Hg, X = Cl, n = 1, 3; M = Cu, X = Cl, n = 0, 4; M = Cu, X = Br, n = 1, 5; M = Pt, X = Cl, n = 1, 6) were crystallized from the reaction mixture prepared by adding MX₂ to the HX solution of 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp), while the salt of colorless (H₂bpp)SnCl₆, 7, was crystallized from the reaction mixture prepared by adding SnCl₂ to the HCl solution of bpp. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography. All the compounds show supramolecular structures in the solid state by intermolecular hydrogen bondings and aromatic – interactions. The H₂bpp²⁺ cations in these metal salts adopt the gauche–gauche and anti–anti conformations with different dihedral angles for the two pyridyl rings.     

Co(II) halide complexes with 2-amino-3-methylpyridinium and 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium: synthesis,crystal structures,and magnetic properties

Reaction of CoX₂ · nH₂O with either 2-amino-3-methylpyridine (3-MAP) or 2-amino-5-methylpyridine (5-MAP) in aqueous acid gave complexes, (3-MAPH)₂CoX₄ or (5-MAPH)₂CoX₄ (H₂O) _n [n = 0,1; X = Cl, Br; 3-MAPH = 2-amino-3-methylpyridinium, 5-MAPH = 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium]. The 3-MAPH salts are formed in the triclinic crystal system while the 5-MAPH salts are formed in the monoclinic crystal system. Three of these compounds exhibit weak antiferromagnetic interactions along with varying degrees of single-ion anisotropy, however, 1 shows easy-plane anisotropy and exhibits a mixture of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions.     

Synthesis,structure and properties of complex compounds of cobalt,nickel, copper and zinc with 2-formylpyridine semicarbazone

2-Formylpyridine semicarbazone L reacts with cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc chlorides, nitrates and perchlorites to form coordination compounds of compositions ML₂X₂·nH₂O (M=Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; X = Cl, NO₃, ClO₄; L = NC₅H₄-CH=N-NH-C(O)-NH₂; n = 0, 1) and CuLX₂·nH₂O (X = Cl, Br, NO₃; n = 0−0.5). Complex CuL(NO₃)₂ has polynuclear, CuLX₂·0.5H₂O (X = Cl, Br), binuclear, and other compounds, mononuclear structures. Azomethine L behaves in them as tridental N,N,O-ligand. Thermolysis of these complexes proceeds through such stages as dehydration (80–95°C), deactivation (145–155°C) and complete theral degradation (170–590°C). Complexes CuLX₂·nH₂O (X = Cl, NO₃; n = 0−0.5) were established to inhibit in vitro the growth and reproduction of 100% of cancer cells of human mieloid leukaemia HL-60 at 10⁻⁴ M concentration. At 10⁻⁵ M concentration they inhibit only 10% of cells, and at 10⁻⁶ M concentration they do not possess anticancer activity.

A reaction mechanism for both products is proposed. All compounds were fully characterized, including X-ray crystallography for 1a and 3 with 1a being the first representative of this class of compounds characterized by this technique.     

Synthesis and reactivity of ω-haloalkyltin compounds

ω-Haloalkyltin trihalides, X(CH₂)_nSnX₃ (n ≧ 3; X = halogen) can readily be prepared in high yields by the direct reaction of stannous halides with α,ω-dihaloalkanes, catalysed by trialkylantimony compounds. The compounds are versatile starting materials for the synthesis of a variety of ω-functionallysubstituted organotin compounds R_3-mX_mSn(CH₂)_n Y (R = alkyl, phenyl; m = 0-3; X = Cl, Br, O; Y = Br, NMe₂, NEt₂, COOH, CHOHR, R₃Sn). ¹H-NMR spectral data for a series of such compounds are presented. The trends observed in the chemical shifts and the ¹¹⁹Sn—methyl proton coupling constants of Me_3-m Br_mSn(CH₂)_nBr (m = 0-3; n = 3-5) are discussed in terms of inductive effects. Intramolecular coordination between the ω-bromine atom and tin could not be demonstrated.     

Synthesis and electrochemical study of 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole complexes with transition metals (CoII, NiII, and CuII). Molecular structure of aquabis[2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole]copper(II) diperchlorate

The reactions of 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (1) with MX₂·nH₂O salts (M = Ni^II, Co^II, or Cu^II; X = Cl or ClO₄; n = 0–2) in EtOH afforded the corresponding complexes. Depending on the nature of the counterion in the starting metal salt, the reactions give compounds of composition M(1)Cl₂·nH₂O or Cu(1)₂(ClO₄)₂·H₂O. The molecular and crystal structure of the Cu^II(1)₂(ClO₄)₂·H₂O complex was established by X-ray diffraction. The copper atom in this complex has a distorted tetragonal-pyramidal ligand environment and is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two ligand molecules and one water molecule. Electrochemical study of the ligand and the resulting complexes by cyclic voltammetry and at a rotating disk electrode demonstrated that ligand 1 stabilizes reduced forms of complexes containing Ni, Co, or Cu atoms in the oxidation state +1.

Transition metal (Ni^II, Co^II, and Cu^II) complexes with 1,2-bis[2-(3-pyridylmethylideneamino)phenylthio]ethane (1) and 1,2-bis[2-(4-pyridylmethylideneamino)phenylthio]ethane (2) were synthesized for the first time by slow diffusion of solutions of compounds 1 or 2 in CH₂Cl₂ into solutions of MX₂ · nH₂O (M = Ni, Co, or Cu; X = Cl or NO₃; n = 2 or 6) in ethanol. The reactions with Co^II and Cu^II chlorides afford complexes of composition M(L)Cl₂ (L = 1 or 2). The reactions of compound 1 with Ni^II salts produce complexes with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenylthio)ethane. The molecular structure of dinitrato[1,2-bis(2-aminophenylthio)ethane]nickel(ii) was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The ligands and the complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. The initial reduction of the complexes proceeds at the metal atom. The oxidation of the chlorine-containing complexes proceeds at the coordinated chloride anion. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

(X = Cl, Br, I, NCO, NCS, N₃) isolated as red-violet, diamagnetic (ⁿBu₄N) complex salt. The UV-Vis spectra are dominated by the typical π-π* transitions of the Pc^2? ligand at approximately 15100 (B), 28300 (Q₁) und 33500 cm^?1 (Q₂), only fairly dependent of the axial ligands. v(C? O) is observed at 1927 (X = I), 1930 (Cl, Br), 1936 (N₃, NCO) 1948 cm^?1 (NCS), v(C? N) at 2208 cm^?1 (NCO), 2093 cm^?1 (NCS) and v(N? N) at 2030 cm^?1 only in the MIR spectrum. v(Ru? C) coincides in the FIR spectrum with a deformation vibration of the Pc ligand, but is detected in the resonance Raman(RR) spectrum at 516 (X = Cl), 512 (Br), 510 (N₃), 504 (I), 499 (NCO), 498 cm^?1 (NCS). v(Ru?

Substitutions of organopalladium(II) species with benzimidazole derivatives

The [Pd(cod)(cotl)]ClO₄ complex (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene; cotl = cyclooctenyl, C₁₈H₁₃ ^–) undergoes substitutions with new Schiff base ligands containing benzimidazole L [L = 2-(2-N-n-propylidenephenyl)benzimidazole (L¹); 2-(2-N-i-propylidenephenyl)benzimidazole (L²); 2-(2-N-n-butylidenephenyl)benzimidazole (L³); 2-(2-N-i-butylidenephenyl)benzimidazole (L⁴)]. Facile displacement of cod by L occurs to produce complexes of the type [Pd(cotl)L]ClO₄· nMe₂CO (n= 0; L = L¹, L² or L³; n= 2, L = L⁴). Dihalobridge complexes of the type [Pd(cotl)X]₂(X = Cl or Br) undergo halogen-bridge cleavage with L¹–L⁴ to give mononuclear complexes of the type Pd(cotl)LX · nH₂O (n= 2, X = Cl, L = L¹; n= 0, X = Br, L = L¹; n= 0, X = Cl, L = L²; n= 0, X = Cl or Br, L = L³; n= 0, X = Cl, L = L⁴; n= 2, X = Br, L = L⁴) and a binuclear complex [Pd(cotl)Br]₂L². The complexes were characterised by physical properties, i.r., ¹H- and ¹³C-n.m.r. spectral techniques and by mass spectra. Probable structures have been proposed.     

Hydrogels Composed of Organic Amphiphiles and α‐Cyclodextrin: Supramolecular Networks of Their Pseudorotaxanes in Aqueous Media

Mixtures of N‐alkyl pyridinium compounds [py‐N‐(CH₂)_nOC₆H₃‐3,5‐(OMe)₂]⁺(X^?) ( 1b Cl: n=10, X=Cl; 1c Br: n=12, X=Br) and α‐cyclodextrin (α‐CD) form supramolecular hydrogels in aqueous media. The concentrations of the two components influences the sol–gel transition temperature, which ranges from 7 to 67 °C. Washing the hydrogel with acetone or evaporation of water left the xerogel, and ¹³C CP/MAS NMR measurements, powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the xerogel of 1b Cl (or 1c Br) and α‐CD was composed of pseudorotaxanes with high crystallinity. ¹³C{¹H} and ¹H NMR spectra of the gel revealed the detailed composition of the components. The gel from 1b Cl and α‐CD contains the corresponding [2]‐ and [3]pseudorotaxanes, [ 1b? (α‐CD)]Br and [ 1b? (α‐CD)₂]Br, while that from 1c Br and α‐CD consists mainly of [3]pseudorotaxane [ 1c? (α‐CD)₂]Br. 2D ROESY ¹H NMR measurements suggested intermolecular contact of 3,5‐dimethoxyphenyl and pyridyl end groups of the axle component. The presence of the [3]pseudorotaxane is indispensable for gel formation. Thus, intermolecular interaction between the end groups of the axle component and that between α‐CDs of the [3]pseudorotaxane contribute to formation of the network. The supramolecular gels were transformed into sols by adding denaturing agents such as urea, C₆H₃‐1,3,5‐(OH)₃, and [py‐N‐nBu]⁺(Cl^?).     

Synthesis,X-ray characterization,and in vitro biological approach of dimeric and polymeric mercury(II) complexes with α-keto stabilized sulfur ylide

Abstract

Reaction of α-keto stabilized sulfur ylide (Me)₂SCHC(O)C₆H₄-p-CN (Y) with HgX₂ (X?=?Cl, Br, and I) led to the formation of new dinuclear products of the type [HgX₂(Y)]₂ (X?=?Cl (1), Br (2), and I (3)). Furthermore, the reaction of the corresponding sulfur ylide (Y) with Hg(NO₃)₂·H₂O in equimolar ratio, using methanol as a solvent, was shown to produce the polynuclear complex [(Y)Hg(NO₃)₂]_n (4). The obtained compounds were characterized using elemental analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR techniques. The structures of compounds Y and 1 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Also, in order to confirm the crystalline nature of complexes 1–3, powder XRD pattern was used. Likewise, the antioxidant property of the complexes was examined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging which revealed the strong-to-moderate radical scavenging ability (IC₅₀; 0.163?±?0.004 to 0.936?±?0.012?mg·mL^?1) of the synthesized compounds. Further, results from this study indicated that the compounds possess moderate antibacterial activity.

(2-ApmH)₂[CoBr₄] (2) crystallizes as the salt with a nearly tetrahedral CuBr₄ ^2- anion. (2-ApmH₂)[NiBr₂(H₂O)₄]Br₂ (5) forms as a cocrystal of the neutral, six-coordinate nickel complex and (2-ampH₂)Br₂, stabilized by extensive hydrogen bonding.

ANODIC OXIDATION OF 1,n-HALO(ALKYLTHIO)ALKANES AND 1,n-CHLORO(ALKYLSULFINYL)ALKANES

Abstract

Anodic oxidation of 1,n-halo(alkylthio)alkanes [X-(CH₂)_n-S-R, X = Cl, Br, I] and l,nhalo(alkylsulfinyl)alkanes [Cl-(CH₂)_n-S(O)-R] was studied by cyclic voltammetry in anhydrous acetonitrile and by controlled potential electrolyses. The ease of sulfur oxidation was not affected by the alkyl substituents R or the number of methylene groups n in compounds with n > 2. The oxidation of the 1,2-halo(alkylthio)ethanes (n = 2) occurred at slightly higher potentials. The peak potentials decreased slightly in the order Cl > Br > I which is probably due to the electronegativity of the halogen atoms. The investigated anodic oxidation was shown to be a two electron irreversible process. Electrolyses in aqueous acetronitrile led to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones in good yields.     

New heteroorganic betaines containing the (+)E15—C—E14—X(–) and (+)E15—C—E14(–) structural fragments (E15 = P,As; E14 = Si,Ge, Sn; X = C,S, O,NR)

The review surveys the data on the reactions of phosphorus and arsenic ylides with compounds containing E=X bonds (E = C, Si, Ge, or Sn; X = C or S), cyclic oligomers (R₂ES)_n (n = 2 or 3), and heavier analogs of carbenes. These reactions give rise to two new classes of heteroorganic betaines containing the ⁽⁺⁾E¹⁵—C—E¹⁴—X^(–) (I) and ⁽⁺⁾E¹⁵—C—E^14(–) (II) (E¹⁵ = P or As; E¹⁴ = Si, Ge, or Sn; X = C or S) structural fragments. Procedures for the synthesis of these compounds, their reactivities, the X-ray diffraction structures, and the electronic structures established by high-level quantum-chemical calculations are considered in detail. The carbon analogs of betaines of type I, viz., compounds bearing the ⁽⁺⁾P—C—C—X^(–) fragment (III), are also discussed. The latter were long considered as possible intermediates in the reactions of compounds containing the polar C=X bond (X = C, O, S, NR, etc.) with phosphorus ylides (classical Wittig and Corey—Chaykovsky reactions and related processes).     

Syntheses,characterizations, and antimicrobial activities of binuclear ruthenium(III) complexes containing 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives

Binuclear ruthenium(III) complexes [RuX₃L]₂?·?nH₂O (X?=?Cl, L?=?L¹, L², L³; n?=?1, L⁴ and L⁵, X?=?Br; L?=?L³), [RuX₃L_1.5]₂?·?nH₂O (X?=?Br, L?=?L¹; n?=?0, L⁴; n?=?6 and L⁵; n?=?10), and [RuX₃L₂]₂ (X?=?Br, L?=?L²) have been isolated by treatment of hydrated RuX₃ (X?=?Cl/Br) in acetone with 2-(2′-aminophenylbenzimidazole) (L¹), 2-(3′-aminophenylbenzimidazole) (L²), 2-[(3′-N-salicylidinephenyl)benzimidazole] (L³), 2-(3′-pyridylbenzimidazole) (L⁴), and 2-(4′-pyridylbenzimidazole) (L⁵) in acetone. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, electronic, EPR, and mass spectral studies. The complexes were dimeric; based on analytical and spectral studies, an octahedral geometry was proposed for the complexes. The synthesized complexes were screened against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi.     

Über die Darstellung der N-Chlor-N-Methylammoniumsalze (CH3)nNCl4–n+MF6− (n = 1–3; M = As,Sb) und (CH3)2NCIX+MF6− (X = F,Br)

Electronic Effects in X(CH2)nY Homologous Series by NMR and Quantum Chemistry

The ^79,81Br NQR spectra of compounds of the Br(CH₂) _n COOH (n = 1-5) and Br(CH₂) _n COOSi·(CH₃)₃ (n = 1, 2, 4, 5) homologous series were measured at 77 K. The NQR frequencies of compounds of the first series as n increases to 3 and then oscillate. The ³⁵Cl NQR frequencies of Cl(CH₂) _n Cl series molecules, estimated from the Cl3p populations resulting from RHF/6-31G(d) calculations, steadily decrease as n increases from 1 to 10. No oscillation of calculated ³⁵Cl frequencies was revealed for compounds of the latter series (by contrast to experimental observations). The calculation results give no way to deducing the mechanism of the oscillation effect.

Abstract

The reactions of a variety of electrophiles with the N-silyl-P-trifluoroethoxyphosphoranimine anion Me₃Sin°P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH^? ₂ (1a), prepared by the deprotonation of the dimethyl precursor Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(OCH₂CF₃)Me₂ (1) with n-BuLi in Et₂O at-78°C, were studied. Thus, treatment of 1a with alkyl halides, ethyl chloroformate, or bromine afforded the new N-silylphosphoranimine derivatives Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH₂R [2: R = Me, 3: R = CH₂Ph, 4: R = CH[sbnd]CH₂, 5: R = C(O)OEt, and 6: R = Br]. In another series, when 1a was allowed to react with various carbonyl compounds, 1,2-addition of the anion to the carbonyl group was observed. Quenching with Me₃SiCl gave the O-silylated products Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH₂°C(OSiMe₃)R¹R² [7: R ¹ = R ² = Me; 8: R ¹ = Me, R ² = Ph; 9: R¹ = Me, R ² = CH[sbnd]CH₂; and 10: R ¹ = H, R ² = Ph]. Compounds 2–10 were obtained as distillable, thermally stable liquids and were characterized by NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) and elemental analysis.
