Crown ether molecular complexes with urea and thiourea

Crystalline complexes of urea and thiourea with crown ethers, have been prepared, viz., 18-crown-6 (18C6), benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6), dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DC 18C6) and dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8). While the complexes of the large ring size crown ether, DB24C8, have high ether to (thio)urea ratios, the stoichiometry of the others lies between one molecule of crown ether and from one to six molecules of (thio)urea. An IR spectral study of the urea and thiourea complexes showed that the behavior of thiourea in these complexes is clearly different from that of urea, indicating the role of sulphur in the interaction of thiourea with crown ethers. The urea and thiourea complexes were classified according to their stoichiometries and their IR spectral behavior into three classes for which credible structures were proposed.     

Hyamine 1622 - Selective PVC Membrane Electrodes Based on bis (Crown Ether)s

Abstract

Hyamine 1622 - selective PVC membrane electrodes based on bis (crown ether)s containing the benzo - 18 - crown - 6 moiety were prepared, using o - nitrophenyloctylether (NPOE) or dipentylphthalate (DPP) as the plasticizer of the PVC membrane. Selectivity coefficients for various interfering ions (inorganic and organic cations), were determined by the mixed solution method. The selectivity of the respective electrodes was found to be affected by the kind of plasticizer employed, and NPOE seemed to be a more suitable plasticizer than DPP. The NPOE electrode system based on the bis (crown ether) that has 11 atoms between the two benzo-18-crown-6 moieties offers the advantage of greater selectivity. The electrodes show excellent electrode properties, and the electrode response was stable in a wide pH range.     

Complexes of Mercury(II) Cyanide with Crown Ethers in Dimethylsulfoxide

The complexation of mercury(II) cyanide with macrocyclic ligands 15-crown-5,18-crown-6 and dibenzo-24-crown-8 in dimethylsulfoxide was studied using¹⁹⁹Hg NMR measurements. No significant complexation with 15-crown-5was observed. The stability constants K_s for 1 : 1 complexes with two other ligands were determined and found to be similar, in contrary to the results reported in nitrobenzene. Solvent effects on K_s values obtained are discussed in comparison with the literature data. X-ray crystal structure of Hg(CN)₂.A18-crown-6 was also determined.

Crown ether complexes of sodium and potassium 2-(benzotriazol-2-yl)phenolates: Synthesis and catalysis towards the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide

Crown ether complexes of sodium and potassium 2-(benzotriazol-2-yl)phenolates were synthesized and characterized. In the presence of BnOH these complexes are highly active catalysts for the controlled ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide. The polymerizations are iso-selective and the P_m of polylactide reached 0.77 when the polymerization was performed in toluene at ?60°C; whereas heterorich-polylactide was obtained when the polymerization was carried out in CH₂Cl₂ or THF.     

Synthesis of polyfluoroalkylated glycerol and crown ether

Perfluoroalkylated glycerol (5, 9) and crown ethers (22, 23, 24) were synthesized starting from glycerol. 5 was synthesized by allylation of glycerol 1,2-acetonide followed by perflu-oroalkylation initiated with sodium dithionite, reduction of iodide and hydrolysis in good overall yield and was shown to poccess good surface activities. Glycerol bis-ether (9) was synthesized in a similar way. Allyloxymethyl crown ethers (15, 16, 18) were prepared as key intermediates through multi-step reactions, which were then perfluoroalkylated to give the title crown ethers 22, 23 ,24.     

Stabilization of germanium(IV) aquafluorocompounds in host-guest type complexes with crown ethers. synthesis,crystal structure and ir spectra of the complexes [(GeF5-H2O)2-(H2-1,10-Diaza-l 8-Crown-6)] and [(trans-GeF4 · 2H2O) · 18-Crown-6·2H2O]

Stable products have been obtained from the interaction of GeO₂-HF solution with 18-membered crown ethers, 1,10-diaza-l8-crown-6 and 18-crown 6. Complexes were characterized by X-ray analysis and IR spectroscopy. Both Ge(IV) aquafluorocompounds are isostructural with their Si analogues. It was established that in the host-guest type complexes the germanium moiety as a central atom has been stabilized in the form of octahedral complexes. The host-guest interaction occurs by means of O-H(W)...O_cr, OH...F and N-H...F hydrogen bonds.     

Influence of metal cations on spectral characteristics of crown ether vinylogs with different terminal polar groups

Complexation of crown ether vinylogs containing different terminal polar groups with alkali and alkali-earth metal ions in solutions was studied by spectrophotometry. The hypsochromic shift of absorption band maxima in the UV-Vis absorption spectra indicates that the ligands containing the monobenzocrown ether fragments interact with metal ions. The scheme of complexation was proposed, and the stability constants of the complexes were determined. The efficiency of complexation depends on the metal cation size and the structure of the ionophoric fragment.

Crystal Structure and Properties of a New Copper(II) Complex of Dioxocyclam Appended with 8-Methylquinoline (Dioxocyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,7-dione)

The IR spectra of the crystalline complexes of 3-and 4-nitrophenol with crown ethers were studied, viz.,18-crown-6 (18C6), benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6),dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6), dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DC18C6) and dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8). The spectra of uncomplexed crown ethers showed water absorption bands which indicate the presence of two types of bound water molecules, viz., cavitant water enclosed by the strong ether-cavity field and outer-layer hydrogen-bonded water molecules. Upon complexation with 3- and 4-nitrophenol, the bands attributed to cavitant water disappeared, leaving the outer layer water to act as a bridge between the host crown ether and the guest phenols. The results further showed that of the crown ethers and of the phenols, B18C6 and DC18C6 and 3-nitrophenol, have the strongest interaction. The behaviour of the phenols was explained by the increased contribution of the inductive-moment over the resonance -moment in thecomplexes.     

Tricarbonylrhenium(I) and manganese(I) complexes of 2-(pyrazolyl)-4-toluidine

A series of tricarbonyl rhenium(I) and manganese(I) complexes of the electroactive 2-(pyrazolyl)-4-toluidine ligand, H(pzAn^Me), has been prepared and characterized including by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The reactions between H(pzAn^Me) and M(CO)₅Br afford fac-MBr(CO)₃[H(pzAn^Me)] (M = Mn, 1a; Re, 1b) complexes. The ionic species {fac-M(CH₃CN)(CO)₃[H(pzAn^Me)]}(PF₆) (M = Mn, 2a; Re, 2b) were prepared by metathesis of 1a or 1b with TlPF₆ in acetonitrile. Complexes 1a and 1b partly ionize to {M(CH₃CN)(CO)₃[H(pzAn^Me)]⁺}(Br⁻) in CH₃CN but retain their integrity in less donating solvents such as acetone or CH₂Cl₂. Each of the four metal complexes reacts with (NEt₄)(OH) in CH₃CN to give poorly-soluble crystalline [fac-M(CO)₃(μ-pzAn^Me)]₂ (M = Mn, 3a; Re, 3b). The solid state structures of 3a and 3b are of centrosymmetric dimeric species with bridging amido nitrogens and with pyrazolyls disposed trans- to the central planar M₂N₂ metallacycle. In stark contrast to the diphenylboryl derivatives, Ph₂B(pzAn^Me), none of the tricarbonyl group 7 metal complexes are luminescent.     

Synthesis and characterisation of helical beta-peptide architectures that contain (S)-beta3-HDOPA(Crown Ether) derivatives

A new set of beta-amino acids that carry various crown ether receptors on their side chains of the general formula (S)-beta(3)-HDOPA(crown ether) (HDOPA: homo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine; (crown ether): [15]crown-5 ([15-C-5]), [18]crown-6 ([18-C-6]), [21]crown-7 ([21-C-7]), 1,2-Benzo-[24]crown-8 ([Benzo-24-C-8]) and (R)-Binol-[20]crown-6 ([(R)-Binol-20-C-6])) was prepared. Peptides that are based on these new crowned beta-amino acids combined with (1S,2S)-ACHC (2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid), which is known to be a potent 3(14)-helix inducer, to the hexamer level, with two crowned residues at the i and i+3 positions of the main-chain, were synthesized in solution by stepwise coupling using Boc-N(alpha)-protection (Boc: tert-butoxycarbonyl) and the EDC/HOAt C-activation method. Their conformational analysis was performed by using FTIR absorption, NMR and CD spectroscopy techniques. Our results are in full agreement with a 3(14)-helix conformation.     

Laser microprobe mass spectrometry (LMMS) of intracrystalline crown ether and cryptand complexes in layer silicates

Laser microprobe mass spectrometry (LMMS) allows the characterisation of organic inclusions in mineral materials. The complexes are detected as cationized or protonated molecules, arising from the intact desorption or from recombination within the laser generated microplasma. The results obtained sustain the interpretation from other techniques concerning the nature of the cation-ligand association and the proton exchange of the cryptand for acidic Cu²⁺-ions.

Silver(I) complexes of bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl] ether

The reaction of AgOTf in dichloromethane with bis(2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl) ether (DPEphos) in an equimolar ratio afforded a dinuclear complex [Ag₂(κ²-P,P′-DPEphos)₂(μ-OTf)₂] (1), whereas the similar reaction in a 1:2 molar ratio resulted in the formation of a bis-chelating complex [Ag(κ²-P,P′-DPEphos)₂][OTf] (2). The silver(I) complex 1 was obtained as a dimer, in which two silver atoms are bridged by two triflate groups to form three adjacent eight-membered spirocyclic rings. The mixed-ligand complex [Ag(κ²-P,P′-DPEphos)(2,2′-bpy)][OTf] (3) was obtained in the reaction of 1 in dichloromethane with 2,2′-bipyridine. The crystal structures of complexes 1–3 were determined by single crystal X-ray analyses.

Short and Efficient Synthesis of Thiol Group Functionalized Crown Ethers

A synthesis of thiol group functionalized crown ethers is reported. The reaction is accomplished by the direct chlorosulfonation of simple crown ethers with chlorosulfonic acid and the reduction of the sulfonyl chloride moiety with LiAlH₄ in two steps. This new process is simple to operate, and it generates high‐purity mercaptobenzocrowns with excellent yields.     

Synthesis and characterization of new aromatic polyamides bearing crown ethers or their dipodal counterparts in the pendant structure. I. Benzo‐12‐crown‐4 and ortho‐bis(2‐ethoxyethoxy)benzene

Two novel isophthalic diacid‐based monomers have been synthesized by inclusion in ring position 5 of a functionalized benzoylamine moiety. The functionalization includes a 12‐crown‐4 ether group fused with the benzene subunit and a dipodand substructure, formally a disubstitution of the benzene ring, with two sequences of ethyl‐terminated ethylene oxide units, which represent the open‐chain counterpart of the alicylic crown moiety. The polycondensation of the two diacids with five aromatic diamines yielded 10 new polyamides with crown or podand pendant substructures. The polyamides had previously been chemically characterized by NMR, IR, and elemental analysis. The polymers showed high glass transition temperatures of up to 349 °C, good thermal stability (T_{donset, N2} ≈ 400 °C), and improved solubility in organic solvents. The presence of acyclic or alicyclic oxyethylene sequences as crown ether or podand substructures and an additional amide side group per repeat unit made the polymers essentially amorphous and improved their water absorption ability in comparison with nonsubstituted polyamides. Water uptake values as high as 12% were observed at 65% relative humidity. All the polyamides showed a good film‐forming ability, and the mechanical properties of these films are considered to be satisfactory for experimental aromatic polyamides. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Interpretation of Thermodynamic Data for the Complex Formation of Cations with Crown Ethers and Cryptands. Part I: The Reaction Entropy

The complex formation between cationsand crown ethers or cryptands is influenced byenthalpic and entropic contributions. The solvation ofcations and ligands plays an important role andinfluences both thermodynamic parameters. Changes insolvation and their influence upon the reactionentropy is discussed in detail for some selectedreactions in different solvents. Other contributionse.g., from the deformation of the ligands areeliminated. Thus, the results obtained are valid forall complexation reactions between cations andmacrocyclic and macrobicyclic ligands.
