THE PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Cd(XCN)4M TYPE COMPOUNDS

Abstract

A series of compounds of the type Cd(XCN)₄M (X=S and Se; M=Mn, Fe, Co and Zn) have been prepared and characterized. These compounds crystallize in the tetragonal system: space group I4[sbnd]S₄ ². The bidentate thiocynate and selenocyanate ligands coordinate to the “hard” M(II) ions through the nitrogen atom and the “soft” Cd(II) ion through the sulfur or selenium atom. The Cd[sbnd]Se bond in Cd(XCN)₄ M is slightly stronger than the Cd[sbnd]S bond while the M[sbnd]NCSe bond is slightly weaker than the M[sbnd]NCS bond. The M(II) ions tetrahedrally coordinated by the nitrogen end of XCN^? are in the high spin state. The [sbnd]NCS and [sbnd]NCSe ligands are located at about the same place in the spectrochemical series.     

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE NOVEL COMPOUND (1α, 3bT, 5α)-1,3-DIPHENYL-5-HYDRIDO-5-ISOPROPOXY-1λ6, 3λ6,2,4,6,5λ5-DITHIATRIAZAPHOSPHORINE-1,3-DIOXIDE. A COMPARISON WITH RELATED STRUCTURES

Abstract

The title compound (1α, 3β, 5α)-(NSOPh)₂NP(H)O-i-Pr crystallizes in the spacegroup P2₁/n with cell dimensions: a = 12. 150(2), b = 8.911(1), c = 17.614(3) Å, β = 107.52(1)^o; Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares techniques to an R value of 0.048 for 2420 independent reflections (collected at room temperature) with I > 2.5 σ(I). The unit cell contains dimeric units which are formed by unprecedented P[sbnd]H…O[dbnd]S bridges. The conformation of the inorganic ring skeleton can be described as a boat; phosphorus and sulfur atoms show a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The S[sbnd]N bond lengths differ slightly, ranging from 1.547(3) to 1.588(2) Å. The exocyclic bond lengths are P[sbnd]H = 1.34(2), P[sbnd]O = 1.553(2), S[sbnd]O = 1.439(2) (mean value), and S[sbnd]C = 1.767(4) (mean value) Å. From a comparison with analogous structures the degree of asymmetry (ΔI = {[P[sbnd]N]-[S[sbnd]N]}Å) in the SNP unit is related to the difference in electronegativity between the sulfur and phosphorus centres.     

ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE OR Pd(I). III: The Nature of the Metal-ligand Bonds in Square Planar Complexes of Palladium(I)

Abstract

ESR spectra for a variety of palladium(I) complexes produced in the powders and the frozen solutions of palladium(II) complexes by γ -ray irradiation have been interpreted in terms of the nature of the metal-ligand bonds. It has been found that the covalency for the palladium-ligand σ-bond increases in the order of Pd[sbnd]O, Pd[sbnd]Cl < Pd[sbnd]N < Pd[sbnd]S, Pd[sbnd]C, and that the nature of the metal-ligand bond in palladium(I) complexes is very similar to that in copper(II) complexes. The ratio of the magnitude of the ligand field splitting for palladium(I) complex to that for the copper(II) complex with the same ligand has been estimated from the comparison of their g values.     

RADICAL IONS 561,2 ONE-ELECTRON OXIDATION OF 1,2-DITHIETE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

Novel 1,2-dithiete derivatives R₂C₂S₂ with R = [sbnd]C(CH₃)₃ and [sbnd]C(CH₃)₂[sbnd]CH₂[sbnd]CH₂[sbnd]CH₂[sbnd]C(CH₃)₂[sbnd] are readily oxidized by the one-electron transfer system AlCl₃/H₂CCl₂ to their radical cations. The single line ESR spectra, on high amplification, exhibit ³³S satellites in natural abundance. Both the ESR data, i.e. rather large g values and ³³S hyperfine coupling constants as well as MNDO closed and open shell calculations for the parent molecule H₂C₂S₂ illustrate that spin and positive charge are predominantly located in the SS bridge of the four-membered ring.     

NON-ENZYMIC METHODS FOR THE PHOSPHORYLATION OF PROTEINS1

Abstract

Non-enzymic methods for the phosphorylation of proteins are reviewed with respect to type of reagent, protein source, reactive site (N[sbnd], O[sbnd] or S[sbnd]), extent of reaction, and effect on physical properties, functionality and biological properties. Experimental procedures are given to illustrate the most important methods. Some enzymic methods are included for comparison. The evidence for phosphorylation of specific amino acid residues, such as serine, threonine, histidine or lysine, is critically assessed. Conclusions are drawn regarding the status of phosphorylation as a synthetic method for modifying proteins.     

PENTACO-ORDINATE PHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDS BY NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITION TO ACTIVATED ALKENES AND ALKYNES IN THE PRESENCE OF ALCOHOLS AND PHENOLS

Abstract

The reactions of a variety of trico-ordinate phosphorus compounds, Ar _n P(OR)_3-n (n = 1 or 2), and cyclic analogues, with acrylonitrile, ethyl acrylate or ethyl phenylpropiolate and alcohols or phenols in low polarity media gives rise to a wide range of pentaco-ordinate phosphorus compounds. Attempts to extend this synthetic route to phosphoranes containing P[sbnd]N or P[sbnd]S bonds met with no success.     

KINETICS AND MECHANISM FOR INTRAMOLECULAR ISOMERIZATION OF HRu3 (μ3-η3-EtSCCMeCMe)(CO)9 TO Ru3(μ-SEt) (μ3-η3-CCMeCHMe)(CO)9

Abstract

The kinetics for isomerization of HRu₃ (μ₃-η³-EtSCCMeCMe)(CO)₉ TO Ru₃(μ-SEt) (μ₃-η³-CCMeCHMe)(CO)₉, were determined. The overall process involves C[sbnd]H elimination, C[sbnd]S and Ru[sbnd]Ru bond cleavage and Ru₂(μ-S) bond formation. Activation parameters were determined from the temperature dependence (ΔH^? = 127(3) kJ/mol, ΔS^?= 56(11) J/mol-K) and from the pressure dependence (0[sbnd]207 MPa, ΔV^? ₀ +12.7(1.1) cm³/mol, Δβ^? = +0.037(0.012) cm³/(mol-MPa)) of the rate constant. The data are consistent with an intramolecular reaction involving significant metal-metal or carbon-sulfur bond cleavage in the transition state. The activation volume is too large to be accommodated by C[sbnd]H elimination alone and CO dissociation is not involved.     

MOLECULAR REARRANGEMENTS. VI. THERMOLYSIS OF α-(N-ARYL)BENZYL ARYL SULFIDES

Abstract

In view of the significance of studying the effect of heat on organic compounds especially those containing nitrogen and/or sulfur, six substituted α-(N-aryl) benzyl aryl sulfides (4–9) were prepared and subjected to thermolysis at 200°C.

Surveying of the reaction products showed the formation of amines, benzylidene amines, sulfides, disulfides, dibenzyl, stilbene, benzthiazole, benzimidazole, tetraphenyl thiophene as principle products in variable ratios according to the type of the starting sulfide.

A mechanism involving the homolytic cleavage of the C[sbnd]S and the C[sbnd]N bond is suggested to rationalize the thermolysis products.     

OBERFLÄCHEN-REAKTIONEN 151,2 Heterogen Dechlorierungen von Phosphorchloriden (X)PCI3 und R[sbnd]PCI2 an [Ag], [Mg], [Cux/TiO2] und [MgCI2[sbnd]MgO/SiO2] sowie spektroskopische Evidenz für das Entstehen von Diphospha-dicyan P[tbnd]C[sbnd]C[tbnd]P aus CI2P[sbnd][tbnd][sbnd]PCI2

Abstract

Stimulated by the successful generation of unsaturated molecules with low-coordinated phosphorus centers by heterogeneous surface dechlorination, CI₂,P[sbnd]C[tbnd]C[sbnd]PCI², is synthesized and characterized by PE and mass spectra. In addition, [Mg] curls, [Ag] wool and catalysts [Cu_x/TiO₂] or [MgCI₂,[sbnd]MgO/SiO₂] are tested as potential dechlorinating agents for phosphorus halides like OPCI₃, SPCI₃, H₃C[sbnd]PCI₂, H₅C₂-PCI₂, (H₃C)₃C[sbnd]PCI₂, or H₅C₆-PCI₂, in a gasflow reactor under reduced pressure and yield, inter aha, the following representative results: due to the thermodynamically favored formation of [MgCl₂], [MgO] or [MgS] at the Mg surface, P₄ is the only gaseous product identified from reactions of OPCI₃, and SPCI₃, with [Mg] metal at higher temperatures. On the contrary, passing H₃C-PCI₂, at 600K over [Mg] yields a reaction mixture containing P(CH₃)₃,(H₃C)₂P[sbnd]P(CH₃)₂, (H₃C[sbnd]P), and CH₄, which suggests an intermediate formation of surface phosphinidenes [H₃C[sbnd]P →Mg]. Analogously, the pentamer (H₃C[sbnd]H₂C[sbnd]P)₅ can be isolated from ethyldichlorophosphane. Reaction of the evaporated diphospha-cyanogen precursor CI₂P[sbnd]C[tbnd]C[sbnd]PCI₂ with the catalyst [10% MgCI₂,/MgO/SiO₂], produces predominantly PCI₃, and P₄, but PE and mass spectra provide evidence that also minor amounts of the hitherto unknown molecule P[tbnd]C[sbnd]C[tbnd]P are formed.

CARBODIPHOSPHAN (2.4.6-tBu3C6H2[sbnd]P[dbnd]2)C: REAKTION MIT ELEKTROPHILEN

Abstract

The reaction of Ar[sbnd]P[dbnd]C[dbnd]P[sbnd]Ar (Ar=2.4.6-^tBu₃C₆H₂) with electrophiles (H⁺, S₈) proceeds at the phosphorus atom with subsequent cyclisation of an o-^tbutyl group.     

METALLAPHOSPHENES AND DIPHOSPHENES

Abstract

Transient metallaphosphenes (rbnd2;M[dbnd]P[sbnd]) have been obtained by exchange reactions between disilylphosphines and organometaldihalides (M = Ge, Sn), or by thermolysis of 2-metallaphosphetanes (M = Si, Ge). They are characterized by trapping reactions with strained heterocycles. The first stable germaphosphene 12 has been synthesized by dehydrohalogenation from the parent halogermylphosphine and isolated in form of orange crystals. It is very reactive toward compounds with active hydrogen.

Transient diphosphenes ([sbnd]P[dbnd]P[sbnd]) have been prepared by the same type of exchange reactions between disilylphosphines and dichlorophosphines and characterized by trapping reactions on dienes. The second stable diphosphene 18 has been obtained by addition of t-BuLi on trisyldichlorophosphine. Its structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction and some aspects of its reactivity are described. The reaction of bisyltrichlorogermylphosphine with DBU affords the new stable and potentially reactive diphosphene 30.     

INTRODUCTION DE SYSTÈMES CAGE DANS LES MOLÉCULES D'INTÉRĚT BIOLOGIQUE. 2. ALKYLATION DES ESTERS SULFAMIQUES AU MOYEN D'UN DÉRIVÉ DE L'ADAMANTANE

Abstract

Sulfamic esters of the general type R[sbnd]O[sbnd]SO₂[sbnd]NH₂ were alkylated under solid-liquid, liquid-liquid phase transfer catalysis conditions and by noncatalytic procedure, in homogeneous medium, in the presence of an equimolar amount of triethylamine, by means of a 1-adamantyl bromomethyl ketone. According to the procedure and the nature of R, these reactions yield the N-monoalkyl, N-dialkyl derivatives or a cleavage of the O[sbnd]SO₂ bond with formation of the O-alkylation products.

Nous decrivons l'alkylation des esters sulfamiques de formule générale R[sbnd]O[sbnd]SO₂[sbnd]NH₂ au moyen de l'adamantyl-1 bromométhyl-cétone, en catalyse par transfert de phase solide-liquide, liquide-liquide et dans les conditions non-catalytiques, en phase homogène et en présence d'une quantité équimoléculaire de triéthylamine. Selon la méthode utilisée et la nature du radical R. on aboutit à des dérivés N-monoalkylés, N-dialkylés ou à la scission de la liaison O[sbnd]SO₂ avec formation de produits de O-alkylation.     

CONFORMATIONAL STUDIES OF α-SUBSTITUTED CARBONYL COMPOUNDS. IV. ELECTRONIC INTERACTION IN 2-THIASUBSTITUTED CARBONYL SYSTEMS. ω-ETHYLTHIO-p-SUBSTITUTED ACETOPHENONES

Abstract

The carbonyl stretching frequencies and the apparent molar absorptivities are reported for some ω-ethylthio-p-substituted acetophenones and for the corresponding unsubstituted acetophenones. In the ω-ethylthio-series the solvent effect indicates the presence of the cis/gauche rotational isomerism, being the gauche rotamer predominant in the whole series (ca. 90%). In the ω-ethylthioacetophenones, on going from electron-attracting to electron-donating substituents, the progressive increase in the carbonyl cis shifts (Δν_c) is attributed to the increasing Field Effect between C[dbnd]O and C[sbnd]S dipoles, and the progressive decrease in the carbonyl gauche shifts (Δν_g) is due to the deacreasing contribution of the hyperconjugative interaction between π_CO and σ_c[sbnd]s orbitals. The U.V. spectra of the ω-ethylthioacetophenones display a n → π?_CO band which is bathochromically shifted in relation to the corresponding acetophenones, indicating the occurrence of the hyperconjugative interaction between π?_CO and σ?_c[sbnd]s orbitals in the excited state. ¹³C NMR data for the methylene group of ω-ethylthioacetophenones, compared to those for some ω-haloacetophenones,^2,3 suggest that in the fundamental state besides the hyperconjugative interaction, there is also the occurrence of charge transfer from π_CO to 3d_(S) orbitals.     

REACTIONS IN THE CHLOROSILANE-SILANOL-SILOXANE SYSTEM

Abstract

We obtained the first σ?-values and E_s -values for siloxy groups by spectroscopic and kinetic methods. Detailed mechanistic investigations are performed on the hydrolysis of chlorosiloxanes, the cleavage of Si[sbnd]O[sbnd]Si bonds by HCl, and the substituent exchange reaction between silanols and chlorosilanes.     

METAL ISOTOPE EFFECT ON METAL-LIGAND VIBRATIONS: V. CIS AND TRANS Ni(II) PHOSPHINE-HALIDE COMPLEXES

Abstract

Infrared spectra (4000–200 cm^?1) have been reported for Ni(DPE)X₂ where X is Cl, Br and I and DPE is 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane. The Ni[sbnd]X and Ni[sbnd]P stretching bands have been assigned based on the observed isotopic shifts due to the ⁵⁸Ni-⁶²Ni substitution. The Ni[sbnd]X stretching frequencies are always lower and the Ni[sbnd]P stretching frequencies are always higher in the cis-complexes such as Ni(DPE)X₂ than in the corresponding trans-complexes such as Ni(PEt₃)₂X₂. These differences between cis and trans configurations have been attributed to the strong trans-effect of phosphine ligands.

MOLEKÜLSTRUKTUR EINES STABILEN PENTAOXY-SPIROPHOSPHORANS MIT PHOSPOR ALS BRÜCKENKOPFATOM ZWISCHEN EINEM SECHSGLIEDRIGEN UND EINEM FÜNFGLIEDRIGEN RING

Abstract

The crystal and molecular structure of the trigonal-bipyramidal pentaoxy-spirophosphorane 1 reveals the smaller influence on the stereochemistry at phosphorus of the six-membered compared with five-membered rings. The large difference between the two axial P[sbnd]O bonds (161.6 and 171.0 pm) and between the three equatorial P[sbnd]O bonds (range 157.7–163.6 pm) is ascribed to the influence of the CF₃-groups on the electronegativity of the oxygen atoms.

THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF 10,10′-BIS(PHENOXARSINE) OXIDE AND SELENIDE

Abstract

The reaction between 10,10′-bis(phenoxarsine) oxide (I) and HI gives 10-iodophenoxarsine. The latter, on treatment with H₂Se give 10,10′-bis(phenoxarsine) selenide (II). The crystal structures of I and II have been determined from single crystal X-ray data. The unit cell for I is monoclinic, P2₁/c (No. 14) with a = 15.976(3) Å, b = 10.582(2) Å, c = 12.581(2) Å, β = 111.70(1)° V = 2018.6 ų; d(calc.) = 1.65Mg/m³ at 23°C for four molecules per unit cell. From 3279 reflections for which I>0.5σ(I), F>σ(F), R = 0.041 with anisotropic thermal parameters for all non-hydrogen atoms and with fixed positions and thermal parameters for hydrogens. One of the phenoxarsina rings deviates from planarity by approximately 5° while the other deviates by more than 24°. The (As[sbnd]O) distances are 1.810(3) and 1.821(3) Å for the flat and bent ring and the (As[sbnd]O[sbnd]As) angle is 122.3(1)°. The bond distances to As and O from C are nearly the same for both rings, but the bond angles with As and the ring O as the apex are systematically larger for the flat ring. For II the unit cell is triclinic, P1 (No. 2) with a = 9.368(1) Å, b = 14.089 Å, c = 9.269(2) Å, α = 111.37(2), β = 113.11(2), γ = 74.76(1); V = 1037.5 ų, d(calc) = 1.81 Mg/m³ for two molecules per unit cell at 23°C. From 2945 reflections for which I > 0.5σ(I), F > σ(F), R = 0.055 with anisotropic thermal parameters for all non-hydrogen atoms and with fixed positions and thermal parameters for hydrogen. One of the phenoxarsina rings deviates by 3° from planarity and the other by 8°. The (As[sbnd]Se) bond distances are 2.416(1) and 2.406(1) Å. The (As[sbnd]Se[sbnd]As) bond angle is 96.66(4)° and the corresponding (As[sbnd]C) and (C[sbnd]C) distances in the two rings are nearly the same. In comparison with I, the angles with As or O as the central atoms are about the same in both rings of II.
