Carbon-13 N.m.r. and I.r. Studies of copper(I) complexes of the — NHCS group in five- and six-membered heterocyclic rings

Summary Crystalline copper(I) complexes of the general formula [LCuCl] and [L₂CuCl] were prepared for imidazolidine-2-thiones and 1,3-diazinane-2-thiones by the reduction of copper(II) halides with an excess of the ligands. The¹³C n.m.r. and i.r. spectra of these complexes are consistent with thione sulphur (ligand) donation in all cases. The magnitude of the high-field shift in the¹³C resonance of the thioureide carbon in the complexes as compared with that of the free ligands is interpreted in terms of coordination geometry around the metal atoms. A comparison of the chemical shifts for gold(I), silver(I) and copper(I) revealed a displacement ofca. 6–8 ppm for the mono- and 2–4 ppm for the bis-complexes, respectively.     

Systèmes Aromatiques à 10 Électrons π Dérivés de l'Aza-3a-pentalène: XXVI—Etude de quelques Dérivés Polyazapentaléniques en Résonance du Carbone-13

The ¹³C n.m.r. study of nine azapentalenes was carried out and all the signals were assigned. In one case, very unusual couplings between the carbon atoms and the proton bonded to the pyrrole nitrogen atom were observed. The usefulness of ¹³C n.m.r. spectroscopy for the study of annular tautomerism is demonstrated.     

Complexation of palladium cyanide with imidazolidine-2-thione and its derivatives

Summary Pd(CN)₂ reacts with imidazolidine-2-thione (Imt), 1,3-diazinane-2-thione(Diaz), 1,3-diazipnane-2-thione (Diap) and their derivatives to yield complexes of stoichiometry [PdL₂(CN)₂] or [PdL(CN)₂] (L = Imt, Diaz or Diap and L = Imt having N-Me, Et or Pr substituents), which were characterized by elemental analysis, i.r., ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. spectroscopy. Both mono- and bis ligand complexes are thought to be square planar with the monoligand binding to metal via sulphur (bridging) and the bis ligand via the monodentate thione group. The ¹³C enriched Pd(¹³CN)₂ complex was prepared and the ¹³C n.m.r. recorded. The C-2 resonance of ¹³C n.m.r. of Imt, Diaz or Diap complexes of the copper(I), silver(I), gold(I) and palladium(II) were compared.     

13C NMR spectra of some N-aryl substituted sulphur–nitrogen compounds

The ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of four classes of N-aryl sulphur–nitrogen compounds are discussed. The para carbon shieldings of the N-phenyl derivatives reflect the substituents effects of the various nitrogen groups. These show large differences for the four classes of compounds due to differences in the electronic structure of the sulphur–nitrogen bond.     

Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de dérivés anthracéniques: II—Anisotropie magnétique du phényle et effets steriques

The peri effect induced by the phenyl group has been studied in the anthracene series by means of ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. The chemical shifts of overcrowded protons can be explained by a combination of magnetic anisotropy and steric effects. Steric contributions amount to c. 25% of the phenyl induced shift at the peri position. Amongst published ring-current theories, only the model of Johnson and Bovey is capable of describing correctly the shielding region of the phenyl group. The unexpected shieldings and deshieldings, observed by ¹³C n.m.r. in the case of very hindered derivatives, is probably due to distortions of the anthracene skeleton.     

Etude en RMN 13C de Spiropyrannes Hétérocycliques

A ¹³C n.m.r. study of different heterocyclic spiropyrans has been carried out. We have attempted to describe the specific influence of the heteroatoms on the chemical shift of the neighbouring atoms. Carbon-13 chemical shifts and coupling constants have been also obtained for compounds similar to both parts of the spiropyran molecule: the heterocycle and the benzopyran.     

Effects of molecular asymmetry on 13C chemical shifts in some O- and N-glycidyl compounds

In the ¹³C? {¹H} n.m.r. spectra of certain organic compounds containing two or three glycidyl (2,3-epoxyprop-1-yl) groups, chemical shift nonequivalence has been observed, between diastereoisomers, for chemically similar carbon atoms in the glycidyl groups. Nonequivalence was only apparent when the glycidyl groups were linked through a single atom. In three derivatives of diglycidylaminobenzene, ¹³C chemical shift nonequivalence was also observed for aromatic carbon atoms ortho to the nitrogen substituent.     

<Superscript>13</Superscript>C-n.m.r. studies of the binding of 1,3-diazinane-2-selenone and 1,3-diazipine-2-selenone to gold(I) drugs

The interaction of gold(I) thiomalate, Myocrisin [(Autm)_n] with 1,3-diazinane-2-selenone (DiazSe) and 1,3-diazipine-2-selenone (DiapSe) has been studied in aqueous solution using ¹³C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. It is observed that ternary complexes, (DiazSe–Au–tm and DiapSe–Au–tm, respectively) are formed on coordination of these ligands to (Autm)_n. The ¹³C-n.m.r. data suggest that DiapSe binds more strongly to (Autm)_n than does DiazSe, which binds more strongly compared to its analogous thione, 1,3-diazinane-2-thione (Diaz). A similar observation was made for the gold(I) thioglucose (Autg) reaction with DiazSe.     

Synthesis and characterisation of 1,3-bis(2-benzimidazyl)-2-thiapropane, 1,5-bis(2-benzimidazyl)-3-thiapentane ligands and their PdCl2 complexes

The 1,3-bis(2-benzimidazyl)-2-thiapropane (TP₂) and 1,5-bis(2-benzimidazyl)-3-thiapentane (TP₃) ligands form 5-coordinate square pyramidal monometallic complexes with PdCl₂. In both complexes the ligands act as chelating tridentate, through two of the nitrogen atoms in the imidazole ring and the sulphur atom of the bridging group. The ligands and complexes were characterised by analytical data and by modern spectroscopic methods such as FT-Raman, i.r., ¹H and ¹³C-n.m.r. spectra.     

Nickel(II), palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-allyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-pyrimidin-2-ylthiourea

Platinum(II), palladium(II) and nickel(II) complexes with N-allyl-N′-pyrimidin-2-ylthiourea were synthesized in 1:1 and 1:2 [metal:ligand] stoichiometric ratios and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic susceptibilities and by i.r., u.v.-vis., ¹H- and ¹³C-n.m.r. and mass spectra. The ¹H- and ¹³C- n.m.r. chemical shifts reveal coordination of one pyrimidine-N and sulphur atoms to Pt^II and Pd^II. The i.r. spectra indicate that the ligand behaves as a neutral monodentate towards Ni^II; coordinates via a pyrimidine-N and as a bidendate towards Pd^II and Pt^II coordinates via thione-S and a pyrimidine-N. The magnetic moments and electronic spectral data suggest a square-planar geometry for Pt^II and Pd^II complexes, a mixture of square-planar and tetrahedral geometries for the tetracoordinate Ni^II complex and octahedral for the six-coordinate one. The E.I. mass spectra of the complexes showed some isotope ion peaks of [M]⁺ and fragments containing metals; assignments of fragments containing metal ions were supported by the appearance of their peaks among isotope clusters.     

Pteridine studies: III—13C n.m.r. data of pteridine,some of its derivatives and their covalent σ-adducts with ammonia and water

¹³C n.m.r. spectral data of pteridine and nineteen of its derivatives (containing one or more chloro, methylthio, methyl, t-butyl or phenyl substituents) are reported. The ¹³C n.m.r. spectrum of the title compound has been assigned conclusively. ¹³C n.m.r. substituent effects are shown to be very useful in discerning between 6- and 7-substituted pteridines. Additionally, the ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of several covalent amination products, i.e. the 3,4-dihydro-4- amino- and the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6,7-diaminopteridine derivatives, formed by dissolving the appropriate pteridine in liquid ammonia, have been recorded. The ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of the corresponding covalent hydrates are also reported.     

Synthesis and spectroscopy of nickel(II) complexes with 5-methyl-3-formylpyrazole N(4)-methyl-N(4)-cyclohexyl thiosemicarbazone (HMPz4MCy): X-ray crystal structure of [Ni(HMPz4MCy)2]Cl2·2.5H2O

The coordination behaviour of a new pyrazolyl thiosemicarbazone, HMPz4MCy, synthesized and characterized (elemental analyses, mass spectrum, i.r. and ¹H-n.m.r) for the first time, is reported via solid state isolation of Ni^II complexes, [Ni(HMPz4MCy)₂]X₂·nH₂O (X = Cl, Br, NO₃, ClO₄ and BF₄; n = 2–3). The complex species were spectroscopically and structurally characterized. I.r. data for the free ligand and its Ni^II complexes indicate that the ligand, HMPz4MCy, exhibits a neutral NNS tridentate function via the pyrazolyl nitrogen (tertiary), azomethine nitrogen and thione sulphur. Electronic spectral data are suggestive of a distorted octahedral environment for the six-coordinate Ni^II species. X-ray crystallography of a representative species, [Ni(HMPz4MCy)₂]Cl₂·2.5H₂O (P2₁/c, monoclinic) has shown unambiguously that the crystallographic asymmetric unit consists of a [Ni(HMPz4MCy)₂]²⁺ cation and two Cl^– anions with the solvent of crystallization consisting of two H₂O molecules with full occupancy and a third H₂O molecule with half occupancy. The two NNS ligands orthogonally coordinate to the central nickel(II) ion with two azomethine nitrogen atoms in trans and the pyrazolyl nitrogen and the thione sulphur atoms in cis-positions. The crystal structure is stabilized by an extensive network of hydrogen bonds and is also additionally stabilized by C—HS contacts restricting free rotation about the N—C single bonds.     

Applications de la Résonance Dynamique du Proton et du Carbone-13 à l'Etude d'Azines Hétérocycliques. Mécanismes de Formation et d'Isomérisation

A ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. study of heterocyclic azines is presented and the influence of Z/E isomerism on the ¹³C chemical shifts is examined. The kinetic study of the formation and Z/E isomerization of these compounds has been carried out and mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.     

Etude par RMN du Proton et du Carbone-13 de Pyrimidines Substituées. I—Effets de Substituant dans les Dérivés Méthylés et Aminés

Substituent effects of methyl and amino groups on the chemical shifts of pyrimidine have been investigated by ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. and compared with similar data obtained for benzene and pyridine. Taking into account pairwise interactions, the chemical shifts calculated by using an additivity relationship are in very good agreement with the experimental results, except for some hindered pyrimidines. This study enabled us to assign the ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of some trisubstituted pyrimidines.     

Résonance Magnétique Dynamique du Carbone: IV—Application à l'Étude Conformationnelle des Thiourées

A study by ¹³C n.m.r. of a series of thioureas gives information about the conformational equilibrium. Hindered rotation of the tert-butyl groups is observed. Substituent effects are examined.     

Long range 13C shift effects (δ and ϵ) in methylcyclohexanes

¹³C n.m.r. spectra of a number of methyl substituted cyclohexanes, some of them conformationally homogeneous, have been recorded in CDCl₃ and used to determine shift effects engendered by the introduction of methyl groups on carbon atoms remote from the site of substitution. Sizeable changes in shifts are found, including a substantial effect of an equatorial methyl group on an axial methyl group δ to it (+0.6₇ ppm, ‘δ_ea’). The effects reported are of consequence in investigations of conformational problems by ¹³C n.m.r. techniques.     

Coordination behaviour of 2-halo-1,3,4-thiadiazoles towards cobalt(ii) and nickel(ii)

Summary A series of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) 2-X-1,3,4-thiadiazole complexes (X=Cl or Br) were investigated by electronic, n.m.r., Raman and i.r. spectroscopy, and by thermogravimetric analyses, magnetic moments and conductivity measurements.The complexes havepseudo-tetrahedral or pseudo-octa-hedral stereochemistries with MN₂X₂ (X=Cl or Br), MN₄X₂ (X=Cl, Br or O) or MN₃O₃ chromophores.The ligands are mono- or bi-dentate without involving the sulphur atom. Surprisingly, the chloro-derivative ligand seems to be more nucleophilic than the bromo-analogue.The computed (CNDO/2) molecular orbital indices for the uncomplexed ligands indicate that the coordination sites are the nitrogen atoms.In connection with our previous work⁽¹⁾ on the coordination ability of heterocyclic ligands with interesting biological^(2,3) and pharmaceutical⁽⁴⁾ properties and containing endocyclic nitrogen and sulphur donor atoms, we have considered the 1,3,4-thiadiazole ring, which is the main framework of a very important class of diuretic drugs, the sulphonamide inhibitors⁽⁵⁾ of the zinc m tallo-enzyme carbonic anhydrase.In this study we have investigated the coordination behaviour of the 2-chloro-1,3,4-thiadiazole(ctz) and the 2-bromo-1,3,4-thiadiazole (btz).     

La résonance magnétique du 77Se dans des composés organiques

⁷⁷Se n.m.r. spectra of twenty-six organoselenium compounds, including some with an endocyclic selenium atom, have been recorded. Our measurements complete the scale of chemical shifts previously established by McFarlane. It seems difficult to define a range of chemical shifts which is characteristic of the valency state of selenium or of its endo- or exocyclic position. Some results are discussed qualitatively. In the case of selenolo[2,3-b]thiophene, evidence has been obtained for a ⁴J[Se, H] coupling across the sulphur atom.     

RMN 13C de cyclanones halogénées. Détermination et additivité des incréments du chlore en série cyclohexanique

The ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of fourteen chlorocyclohexanones have been recorded to examine the variation of the ¹³C chemical shifts as a function of the position and the number of the chlorine substituents. Additivity relationships were found which enable reasonable prediction of the chemical shifts of chlorinated cyclohexanones. Comparison between the observed and calculated chemical shifts of mono- and dichlorinated flexible molecules shows that the chlorine effects are additive.     

Quaternarisation de diméthyl-5,6 pyrazolidino[4,3-d )isoxazolines-2

We have determined the quaternization site of bicyclic molecules such as dimethyl-5,6 pyrazolidino[4,3-d]isoxazolines-2 containing two vicinal sp³ nitrogen atoms in a cycle and one sp² nitrogen atome in the other by spectral methods and by degradation of their corresponding iodomethylates. The quaternization takes place on one of the two sp³ nitrogen atoms and is controlled by steric effects.
