Hydrogen bonding of aliphatic and aromatic amines in aqueous solution: thermochemistry of solvation

Thermochemistry of hydration of the aliphatic and aromatic amines was studied. Enthalpies of solution at infinite dilution of amines in water were measured using the method of solution calorimetry. A procedure of taking into account the ionization and non-specific hydration of amines in aqueous media was carried out. A method for estimating the enthalpy of hydrogen bonding of amines in aqueous solutions was suggested on the basis of a comparative analysis of the solvation enthalpies of the solutes in water and methanol. The efficiency of this method is confirmed by evaluating the hydrophobic effect enthalpy.

The determination of substituted aromatic amines in water and sediment samples

Summary Certain substituted aromatic amines (anilines and benzidines) are known to possess high toxicological potential. They are classical environmental pollutants by virtue of their high degree of water solubility and the large amounts produced annually in the chemical industry for the synthesis of dyes, pesticides and pharmaceuticals.The present paper describes a method for the determination of at least thirty-one of these compounds at lower g/l or g/kg (ppb) ranges in water or sediment samples.Capillary column gas chromatography is employed with NFI- or MS-detection.Dedicated clean-up procedures are described for the substituted anilines and benzidines in aqueous and sedimentary matrices. In addition, quality assurance aspects of the individual single component identification by NFI- or MS-detection are discussed.

Hydrogen bonding of water in 3-methylpyridine studied by O 1s X-ray emission and absorption spectroscopy

O 1s X-ray emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy is applied to probe hydrogen bonding of water (D(2)O) in 3-methylpyridine. Owing to element selectivity of X-ray spectroscopies the electronic structure of water in the binary mixture was observed selectively. Based on the observed spectral changes associated with hydrogen bonding in O 1s X-ray emission and X-ray absorption spectra, we have investigated the hydrogen bond of the mixture sample over a wide range of D(2)O concentrations (X(D(2)O) = 0.02-1.0) at room temperature under atmospheric pressure.     

Photochemical reactions of 7-aminocoumarins. 2. [2 + 2]-cycloadducts with styrene

The photocycloaddition of styrene to 4-methyl-7-aminocoumarin, 4-methyl-7-diethylaminocoumarin, 7-(N-morpholino) coumarin, 3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-4-methyl-7-diethylaminocoumarin, and coumarin-102 (2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-9-methyl-1H, 5H,11H-[l]-benzopyrano[6,7,8-ij] quinolizin-11-one) was investigated. Adducts of regio- and stereospecific [2 + 2]-cycloaddition to the 3–4 bond were isolated. It was established by means of x-ray diffraction analysis that the phenyl group in the cycloadducts occupies the 1-endo position. The participation of the singlet excited states of the 7-aminocoumarin molecules in [2 + 2]-cycloaddition was demonstrated.See [1] for Communication 1.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1176–1184, September, 1988.     

Hydrogen bonding properties of oxygen and nitrogen acceptors in aromatic heterocycles

The directionality and relative strengths of hydrogen bonds to monocyclic aromatic heterocycles were investigated using crystal structure data and theoretical calculations. Surveys of the Cambridge Structural Database for hydrogen bonds between C^(sp3)(SINGLE BOND)O(SINGLE BOND)H and aromatic fragments containing one or more nitrogen and/or oxygen heteroatoms showed that hydrogen bonds to nitrogen atoms are much more abundant than to oxygen. Distinct preferred orientations were also revealed in these surveys. Theoretical calculations were performed on the interaction of methanol with pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, pyridazine, oxazole, isoxazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, and furan as models for the heterocyclic fragments. The intermolecular potential surface was thoroughly scanned using a model potential that accurately described the electrostatic forces (derived from distributed multipole analysis) with empirical parameters for the repulsion and dispersion terms. Minima on this surface agreed well with the observed orientations in the data base and they were typically deeper for nitrogen than for oxygen acceptors, although the hydrogen bond strength and geometry was influenced by other heteroatoms in the ring. These results were confirmed by highly accurate intermolecular perturbation theory calculations, which also estimated the deviations from hydrogen bonding in the traditional nitrogen lone pair direction that could occur with negligible reduction in the interaction energy. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Photochemical reactions of 7-aminocoumarins. 5. [2+2]-Cycloadducts with trans-stilbene

The photocycloaddition of trans-stilbene to 7-diethylaminocoumarin, 4-methyl-7-diethylaminocoumarin, and 4-(N-morpholino)-7-diethylaminocoumarin was investigated. Adducts involving stereospecific (2+2)-cycloaddition at the 3–4 bond were isolated. On the basis of the PMR spectra and an x-ray diffraction study, it was established that the phenyl groups in the cycloadducts occupy 1-endo and 2-exo positions.For Communication 4, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1022–1027, August, 1990.     

Hydroxylation of aromatic amines with dioxygen in photooxidation sensitized by substituted phthalocyanines

Photooxidation of aniline and its methyl and chloro derivatives with dioxygen sensitized by substituted zinc (PcZn) and palladium (PcPd) phthalocyanines in solution and on the carrier surface upon visible light irradiation affords selectively the corresponding p-aminophenols. Active and the most stable PcPd derivative adsorbed on Amberlite XAD 7HP provides conversion of 2,6-dimethylaniline with selectivity over 90% without the loss of sensitizer activity at least in 8 repeated cycles, the overall turnover number of the sensitizer being greater than 25,000.     

9-Substituted acridines. Demethoxylation of 9-methoxyacridine and dechlorination of 9-chloroacridine in hydroxylic solvents

In methanol-water mixtures containing sodium or potassium hydroxide (up to 2.00M) the demethoxylation of 9-methoxyacridine to 9-acridone is of first order in both the free form of 9-methoxyacridine and the hydroxyl ion. The rate of the reaction is increased with an increase in the concentration of water. Sodium perchlorate has a small retarding effect on the reaction. In methanol-water mixtures containing perchloric or hydrochloric acid (up to 3.45M) the demethoxylation is of first order with respect to the protonated form of 9-methoxyacridine. The rate of the reaction decreases with an increase in the concentration of the acid or of sodium perchlorate, but when the concentration of water is increased (≈?1.7 to 50M) and that of the acid is not changed, it reaches a maximum value in mixtures containing 8 to 10M-water. The dechlorination of 9-chloroacridine to 9-methoxyacridine in methanol containing sodium hydroxide or methoxide (up to 0.31 M) is of first order in both the 9-chloroacridine and the hydroxyl or methoxyl ions.     

Absorption,fluorescence, and photoinitiating properties of the aromatic ethers and aromatic amines complexes of cyclopentadienyliron

The aromatic ethers complexes of cyclopentadienyliron (O-CpFe) and aromatic amines complexes of cyclopentadienyliron (N-CpFe) were prepared by coupling several aniline derivatives and phenol derivatives with (η6-chlorobenzene) (η5-cyclopentadienyl) iron hexafluorophosphate through nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The UV/vis absorption, fluorescence, and excitation spectra of the compounds were measured. The abilities of the photoinitiator in photopolymerizing the diglycidyl ether of the bisphenol-A epoxy oligomer under a halogen lamp were evaluated by near-infrared spectroscopy. The results show that the absorption of N-CpFe is higher than that of O-CpFe in the visible region. However, the photoinitiation ability of N-CpFe is lower than that of O-CpFe.     

Hydrogen bonding in 2-hydroxy-benzhydrazide and 2-hydroxy-thiobenzhydrazide. Structural and spectroscopic study

Summary X-ray structural data are reported for 2-hydroxy-benzhydrazide(monoclinic; P2₁/n-C _2h ⁵ ;a=10.569(2) Å,b=11.264(2) Å,c=6.074(1) Å, =98.80(1)°;Z=4;R=0.054) and 2-hydroxy-thiobenzhydrazide (monoclinic; P2₁/n-C _2h ⁵ ;a=14.598(6) Å,b=5.975(2) Å,c=9.286(4) Å, =107.80(3)°;Z=4;R=0.044). In both compounds the phenolic OH groups are intramolecularly hydrogen bonded to the (thio)carbonyl oxygens and sulfurs, respectively; the basic intermolecular association patterns consist of closed six-membered hydrogen bonded dimers which are connected via N-H ... NH₂ hydrogen bonds. The spectral characteristics of the intramolecular O-H...O/S hydrogen bonds (solid state (OH)=2800/2700 cm^–1, CCl₄ solution (OH)=3035/3100 cm^–1, CDCl₃ solution (OH)=11.62/10.56 ppm) are similar to those of corresponding primary and secondary amides. The solid state IR spectra are consistent with hydrogen bonded NH groups and free NH₂ groups, the solution IR spectra indicate free NH₂ as well as free NH groups.

Wasserstoffbrückenbindung in 2-Hydroxy-benzhydrazid und 2-Hydroxy-thiobenzhydrazid. Strukturelle und spektroskopische Untersuchungen

Zusammenfassung Es werden Röntgenstrukturdaten für 2-Hydroxy-benzhydrazid (monoklin; P2₁/n- C _2h ⁵ ;a=10.569(2) Å,b=11.264(2)Å,c=6.074(1)Å, =98.80(1)°;Z=4;R=0.054) und 2-Hydroxy-thiobenzhydrazid (monoklin; P2₁/n - C _2h ⁵ ;a=14.598(6)Å,b=5.975(2)Å,c=9.286(4)Å, =107.80(3)°;Z=4;R=0.044) berichtet. In beiden Verbindungen bilden die phenolischen OH-Gruppen intramolekulare Wasserstoffbrücken mit den Carbonyl-Sauerstoff-, bzw. den Thiocarbonyl-Schwefel-Atomen. Das intermolekulare Assoziationsmuster wird durch N-H...NH₂ Wasserstoffbrücken bestimmt, die jeweils zwei Moleküle über sechszählige Ringe zu Dimeren verbinden. Die IR- und NMR-spektroskopischen Charakteristika der intramolekularen O-H...O/S Wasserstoffbrücken (kristallin: (OH)=2800/2700 cm^–1, CCl₄-Lösungen: (OH)=3035/3100 cm^–1, CDCl₃-Lösungen: (OH)=11.62/10.56 ppm) sind sehr ähnlich zu denen entsprechender primärer und sekundärer Amide. Die Festkörper-IR-Spektren stehen in Einklang mit assoziierten NH- und freien NH₂-Gruppen, während die Lösungs-IR-Spektren auch auf das Vorliegen freier NH-Gruppen schließen lassen.

     

Hydrogen bonding and cation coordination effects in primary and secondary amines dissolved in carbon tetrachloride

Raman and infrared spectroscopy were used to investigate hydrogen-bonding interactions and cation coordination effects in solutions of lithium triflate (LiCF3SO3) dissolved in two primary amines, hexylamine (HEXA) and N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (DMEDA), and in a secondary amine, dipropylamine (DPA). Strong intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions and weaker intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions that occur only in DMEDA were spectroscopically distinguished in a comparison of pure HEXA, pure DMEDA, and the dilute solutions of these amines in CCl4. The spectroscopic shifts in intensity and frequency in the NH stretching region of DPA and DPA diluted in CCl4 were similar to those of HEXA. Dilute electrolyte solutions in carbon tetrachloride were prepared to analyze specifically the cation coordination effect. In these solutions, limited intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are present, and the observed spectral shifts correspond primarily to the cation-induced shifts. The symmetric SO3 stretching region of the triflate anion was investigated to probe further the coordination of the cation. The local structures of the triflate ions and the amine groups in the electrolyte solutions dissolved in CCl4 are similar to the local structures in the corresponding amine-salt crystals previously reported by us.     

Hydrogen bonding in liquid and supercritical 1-octanol and 2-octanol assessed by near and midinfrared spectroscopy

The near and midinfrared spectra of 1-octanol (and 2-octanol) have been measured along the liquid-gas coexistence curve from room temperature up to the critical point and in the supercritical domain along the isotherm T=385 degrees C (and T=365 degrees C) above the critical point of both 1-octanol and 2-octanol for pressure ranging from 0.5 up to 15 MPa. The density values of SC 1- and 2-octanol have been estimated by analysing the near infrared (NIR) spectra in the 3nu(a)(CH) region. A quantitative analysis of the absorption band associated with the OH stretching vibration [nu(OH)] and its first and second overtones [2nu(OH) and 3nu(OH)] was carried out in order to estimate the percentage of "free" OH groups in both alcohols in the whole thermodynamic domain investigated here. Very consistent results have been obtained from the independent analysis of these three different absorption bands which gave us a good confidence in the degree of hydrogen bonding reported here for 1- and 2-octanol. Thus, the percentage of free OH groups which is around 5% in liquid 1-octanol under ambient conditions strongly increase up to 70%-80% at a temperature of about 340 degrees C. Then, in the supercritical domain, upon a decrease of the density from 0.4 to 0.1 g cm(-3), the fraction of free hydroxyl groups is nearly constant presenting a plateaulike regime around 80%. As the density decreases again, this plateau regime is followed by a further increase of X(nb) which reaches a value of 96% for the system in the gaseous phase (0.01 g cm(-3); P=0.45 MPa). Finally, it comes out from this study that the percentage of free OH groups is always greater in 2-octanol than in 1-octanol at the same density.     

Hydrogen bonding in selected vanadates: a Raman and infrared spectroscopy study

Water plays an important role in the stability of minerals containing the deca and hexavanadates ions. A selection of minerals including pascoite, huemulite, barnesite, hewettite, metahewettite, hummerite has been analysed. Infrared spectroscopy combined with Raman spectroscopy has enabled the spectra of the water HOH stretching bands to be determined. The use of the Libowitsky type function allows for the estimation of hydrogen bond distances to be determined. The strength of the hydrogen bonds can be assessed by these hydrogen bond distances. An arbitrary value of 2.74A was used to separate the hydrogen bonds into two categories such that bond distances less than this value are considered as strong hydrogen bonds whereas hydrogen bond distances greater than this value are considered relatively weaker. Importantly infrared spectroscopy enables the estimation of hydrogen bond distances using an empirical function.
