Beiträge zur chemie des iodpentafluorids teil III. Chelatisierung und strukturisomerie bei α,β-methylierten IOD(V)-α,β-ethandiolat-fluoriden

We report metathetical reactions of IF₅ with series of α,β-trimethylsilylated ethanediolates with increasing numbers of CH₃-groups in α- and β-positions. Short lived intermediates IF₄[OC₂H_4?n(CH₃)_nO]X with X = Si(CH₃)₃ or IF₄ and stable chelates IF₃[OC₂H_4?n(CH₃)_nO] and IF[OC₂H_4?n(CH₃)_nO]₂ (n = 0–4) are observed and characterized. Time and temperature dependence of ¹⁹F-NMR-spectra in relation to degree of methylation, arrangement and stereo-chemistry are discussed referring to previously published mono- and polynuclear I(V)-compounds containing a series of monodentate alcoholates CH_3?n(CH₃)_nO^? and (CH₃)₃CCH₂O^? (n = 0,2,3) [1,2] and of bidentate alcoholates ^?O(CH₂)_nO^? (n = 2,3,4,5,6,12) [1]. In contrast to aliphatic α,β-diolates the aromatic diolates 1,2-C₆H₄(O^?)₂, 1,2-C₆Cl₄(O^?)₂ rapidly undergo redox reactions even at low temperatures.     

Synthesis,characterization, and acceptor behavior of dichlorotris(2-t-butylphenoxo)niobium(V)

The reaction of niobium pentachloride with three equivalents of 2-t-butylphenol in carbon tetrachloride afforded [NbCl₂(OC₆H₄C(CH₃)₃-2)₃]. The identity of the complex has been established by elemental analyses, molar conductance, molecular weight determination, IR, ¹H, and ¹³C-NMR and UV-Vis spectral studies. Based upon these studies, a square–pyramidal geometry around niobium has been proposed. Thermal behavior of the complex has been studied by TGA and DTA. Acceptor behavior of [NbCl₂(OC₆H₄C(CH₃)₃-2)₃] toward Ph₃P, Ph₃As, Ph₃PO, Ph₃AsO, and an uncommon ligand arsenictrithiophenoxide As(SPh)₃ allows the isolation of 1 : 1 addition compounds as shown by physicochemical, IR, and ¹H-NMR spectral studies. The formation of [NbCl₂(OC₆H₄C(CH₃)₃-2)₃] · As(SPh)₃ appears to be the first adduct of its class and suggests the suitability of As(SPh)₃ as a ligand.

The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and IR, UV–Vis and EPR spectroscopy as well as electrochemical methods. The reaction of CuCl₂ with the ligand L₁ affords the copper (I) complex. [N₃P₃(OC₆H₅)₅OC₆H₄CH₂CN·Cu]PF₆ instead the expected Cu(II) complex, which was characterized by multinuclear NMR. For comparison, the complex [N₃P₃(OC₆H₅)₅OC₆H₄CH₂CN·ZnCl]PF₆ was also prepared. The hexametalladendrimers of iron exhibits a six-electron reduction while that the correspondent monometalladendrimers exhibit a single one-electron reduction. Upon coordination νCN increase in a similar way to crystal field effects dependence with the metal.

C(CH₃)H? C?C? C(CH₃)H? O? CH₃ 2d forming different cluster products depending on the substituents and the reaction conditions. The product obtained with 2a is the bisalkylidyne cluster Fe₃(CO)₉(m?₃-C? CH₃)(m?₃-C? OC₂H₅) 3 which results from the cleavage of the carbon carbon triple bond. The alkyne 2b however yields the vinylidene cluster Fe₃(CO)₁₀(m?₃-η²-C? C(H)OC₂H₅) 4 by 1,2 proton shift. The alkyne clusters Fe₃(CO)₁₀(m?₃-η²-C? C(H)OC₂H₅) 4 by 1,2 proton shift. The alkyne clusters Fe₃(CO)₁₀(m?₃-η²- H₃ C? O? CH₂? C?C? CH₂? O? CH₃) 6 and Fe₃(CO)₉(m?-η²-H₃C? O? CH₂? C?C? CH₂? O? CH₃) 7 are the isolated products obtained from 2c . Thermolysis of 7 results in the formation of the dinuclear butatrien complex Fe₂(CO)₆ (H₂C? C? C? CH₂) 8a . The analogous compound Fe₂(CO)₆[H(H₃C)C ? C ? C ? C(CH₃)H] 8b is the only product of 2d and 1 . The structures of 4, 5 , and 6 have been determined by crystal structure determinations.

Water exchange on beryllium complexes: part VIII – influence of neutral electron pair donors

In this article, water exchange reactions on [Be(L)(H₂O)₃]²⁺ (L?=?NH_{3? x} (CH₃) _x , PH_{3? x} (CH₃) _x , AsH_{3? x} (CH₃) _x , OH_{2? x} (CH₃) _x , SH_{2? x} (CH₃) _x , SeH_{2? x} (CH₃) _x , pyridine, 4-fluoropyridine, 4-bromopyridine, 4-chloropyridine, 4-hydroxypyridine, 4-thiolopyridine, 4-selenidopyridine, 4-nitrilopyridine, 1,4-diazine, 1,3,5-triazine, HCN, acetonitrile, and benzonitrile) are examined, utilizing the B3LYP//6-311?+?G** density functional for geometry optimizations, and B3LYP//6-311?+?G** both with and without the CPCM solvent model as well as MP2(full)//6-311?+?G** for subsequent single-point energy calculations. In all examined cases, the results prove that these complexes show associative interchange mechanisms for water exchange. With the exception of the NH _x (CH₃)_{3? x} series of ligands, activation energy barriers vary little, making these ligands mostly spectator ligands. Geometrical parameters vary mainly with the ligand size.     

Organotin compounds bearing mesogenic sidechains: synthesis, X-ray structures and polymerisation chemistry

Organotin compounds R₃Sn(CH₂)_n+2OC₆H₄C₆H₄Y (R₃=Ph₃, Ph₂Bu; Y=H, CN; n=1-3) and RX₂Sn(CH₂)_n+2OC₆H₄C₆H₄Y (R=Ph, Bu; Y=H, CN; X=Br, I; n=1-3) have been synthesised and characterised by ¹H-, ¹³C-, ¹¹⁹Sn-NMR and Mössbauer spectroscopies. X-ray crystallography reveals tetrahedral geometries for Ph₃Sn(CH₂)₄OC₆H₄C₆H₅ and Ph₃Sn(CH₂)₃OC₆H₄C₆H₄CN, a six-coordinated, bromine-bridged dimeric structure for PhBr₂Sn(CH₂)₃OC₆H₄C₆H₅ containing a mer-Br₃C₂OSn coordination sphere about tin and a five-coordinated monomeric structure for PhBr₂Sn(CH₂)₃OC₆H₄C₆H₄CN. In all cases there is strong alignment of mesogenic groups in the solid-state but only PhBr₂Sn(CH₂)₃OC₆H₄C₆H₄CN shows any indication of liquid-crystal behaviour. Wurtz polymerisation of RBr₂Sn(CH₂)₅OC₆H₄C₆H₅ (R=Ph, Bu), both of which contain non-chelating ether functions, generated polystannanes (RR′Sn)_n with M_n 2.3×10⁵; M_w 3.0×10⁵; M_w/M_n 1.30 and M_n 1.3×10⁵; M_w 2.5×10⁵; M_w/M_n 1.96, respectively, while no polymer was obtained from chelated PhBr₂Sn(CH₂)₃OC₆H₄C₆H₅     

Polymerization of silicon-containing acetylenes. 5. Polymerization of 1-silyl-1-propynes by TaCl5-based catalysts

Polymerization of homologues of 1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne [CH₃C?CSi(CH₃)₃] was studied. CH₃C?CSi(CH₃)₂(n-C₆H₁₃) ( I ) polymerized with 1 : 1 mixtures of TaCl₅ and organometallic cocatalysts (e.g., Ph₄Sn and Ph₃Bi) to produce in good yields a polymer having a weight-average molecular weight (M _w) over 1 × 10⁶. CH₃C?CSi(CH₃)₂ Ph ( II ) and CH₃C?CSi(C₂H₅)₃ ( III ) formed polymers having M _w's of ～ 5 × 10⁵ in moderate yields in the presence of TaCl₅-based catalysts. In contrast, none of CH₃C?CSi(CH₃)₂(i-C₃H₇), CH₃C? CSi(CH₃)₂(t,-C₄H₉), C₂H₅C?CSi(CH₃)₃, and n,-C₄H₉C?CSi(CH₃)₃ polymerized, which is attributed to the steric effect of the monomers. Some other 1-silyl-1-propynes also failed to polymerize. The three new polymers formed from ( I )–( III ) had the structure \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$\rlap{--} [{\rm CCH}_{\rm 3} \hbox{=\hskip-2pt=} {\rm C(SiRR'R''}\rlap{--} ]_n$\end{document} according to IR and ¹³C-NMR spectra. They were white solids, soluble in low-polarity solvents (e.g., toluene and chloroform) and stable enough in air at room temperature.     

Synthesis and mesomorphism of mixed ether-ester tail triphenylene discotic liquid crystals with long alkyloxy peripheral chains

Symmetrical and asymmetrical triphenylene discotic liquid crystals with two kinds of different peripheral chains, sym-TP(OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃ and asym-TP(OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃, (R=CH₂OC₂H₅, CH₂OC₃H₇, CH₂OC₄H₉, CH₂OC₅H₁₁, C₃H₇, C₄H₉, C₅H₁₁, C₆H₁₃, C₇H₁₅) were synthesized. Their thermotropic liquid crystalline properties were studied by polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the asymmetrical compounds had higher melting and clearing points than that of their corresponding symmetrical compounds. For the same series of compounds, TP(OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃, their melting points decrease and clearing points increase gradually with the lengthening of ester chains. Most of the β-oxygen containing esters of triphenylene derivatives, TP (OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃, (R=CH₂OC₂H₅, CH₂OC₃H₇, CH₂OC₄H₉, CH₂OC₅H₁₁), symmetrically or asymmetrically attached on triphenylene cores, have higher melting and clearing points than those of triphenylene derivatives, TP(OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃, (R=C₄H₉, C₅H₁₁, C₆H₁₃, C₇H₁₅), with the same length of peripheral chains. The triphenylene derivatives with longer peripheral chains have shown mesophase at room temperature. __________ Translated from Chemical Research and Application, 2007, 19(10) (in Chinese)     

New Synthesis of Triphenylbismuth Diaroxides

The reaction of triphenylbismuth, hydrogen peroxide, and phenol (molar ratio 1 : 1 : 2) in ether was used to synthesize triphenylbismuth diaroxides Ph₃Bi(OAr)₂ [Ar = C₆H₃(NO₂)₂-2,4, C₆H₂(NO₂)₃-2,4,6, C₆H₃Cl₂-2,6, C₆H₂Cl₃-2,4,6, C₆H₃Br₂-2,4, C₆H₂Br₃-2,4,6, C₆H₂Br₂-2,4,Me-6, C₆H₂Br₂-2,6, NO₂-4]. At an equimolar reagent ratio, bridged bismuth compounds (Ph₃BiOAr)₂O are formed. The crystal structure of bis-(2,4-dinitrophenoxy)triphenylbismuth Ph₃Bi[OC₆H₃(NO₂)₂-2,4]₂ was studied by X-ray diffraction to show that the bismuth atom has a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination and the 2,4-dinitrophenoxyl ligands are axial. The CBiC and OBiO angles are 109.6(5)°, 122.3(5)°, 128.1(5)°, and 175.6(3)°. The Bi-O^1,6 and Bi-C bond lengths are 2.256(10), 2.242(9) and 2.18(1), 2.18(1), 2.19(1) Å, respectively.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 6, 2005, pp. 927–929.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Sharutin, Egorova, Tsiplukhina, Molokov, Fukin.

Sulphur containing mesogens. The mesophasic behaviour of di(4-alkyloxybenzoates) of 4,4′-dimercaptobiphenyl

Abstract

A homologous series of di(4-alkyloxybenzoates) of 4,4′-dimercaptobiphenyl: CH₃(CH₂) _n-1O?C₆H₄?COS?C₆H₄?C₆H₄?SOC?C₆H₄?O(CH₂) _n-1CH₃,n=1–7, has been synthesized and the thermotropic liquid-crystalline behaviour investigated. All compounds exhibit enantiotropic mesomorphism over a remarkable temperature range. While the mesophase thermal stability is moderately higher than that found for the corresponding oxygenated analogues, the smectic stability is definitely lower. In fact, all the compounds are nematic but smectic mesomorphism (S_C) is observed for n = 7. Compounds with n = 6 or 7 exhibit enantiotropic highly ordered smectic (or disordered crystal) phases, probably S_G in type.

The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectroscopy, f.t.-i.r. and ³¹P–[¹H]-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The spectroscopic studies reveal that coordination of the ligand iscis-chelate bidentate in [Mn(CO)( ⁵-C₅H₅){Ph₂P(S)(CH₂) _n P(S)Ph₂}] (1a–3a) and cis-bridging bidentate between two metals in [Mn₂(CO)₄( ⁵-C₅H₅)₂(cis--Ph₂P(S)(CH₂) _n P(S)Ph₂)] (1b–3b).     

Thermoanalytical investigations of niobium(V) complexes of 4-isopropylphenol

Thermal behaviour of newly synthesized niobium(V) aryloxides of composition [NbCl_5−n (OC₆H₄CH(CH₃)₂-4) _n ] (where n = 1 → 5) synthesized by the reactions of niobium pentachloride with 4-isopropylphenol in predetermined molar ratios in carbon tetrachloride has been studied by thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. The results showed that thermal decomposition of complex of composition [NbCl₄(OC₆H₄CH(CH₃)₂-4)] resulted in the formation of NbOCl₃ as the ultimate decompositional product while all other complexes yielded Nb₂O₅ as the final product of thermal decomposition. From the mathematical analysis of TG data, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters viz. energy of activation, frequency factor, entropy of activation, etc. have been evaluated using Coats–Redfern equation.     

Synthesis and mesomorphism of diacetylene-bridged triphenylene discotic liquid crystal dimers

Connecting two discotic mesogens via a spacer not only stabilizes the columnar mesophase but also leads to the formation of glass columnar phase, and therefore improves the physical properties of discotic liquid crystals as organic semiconductor.
