Gas-phase molecular structures of third row transition-metal hexafluorides WF6, ReF6, OsF6, IrF6, and PtF6. An electron-diffraction and ab initio study

The molecular structures of WF6, ReF6, OsF6, IrF6, and PtF6 have been measured by electron diffraction from the gases, the last from both PtF6 itself and from a vapor assumed to consist of a mixture of O2 and PtF6 obtained by heating the salt O2PtF6. For models of Oh symmetry the bond lengths in the first three members of the series are essentially identical, but the Ir-F and Pt-F bonds are respectively about 0.01 and 0.02 A longer. Models of D4h symmetry were also tested for ReF6, OsF6, and IrF6 in which operation of the Jahn-Teller effect is thought possible. For these models the same trend was seen in the average bond-length values. The effect of three-atom multiple scattering was also investigated, and experimental estimates of the effects of vibrational averaging ("shrinkage") on the distances were obtained. Normal-coordinate analyses based on the observed wavenumbers yielded stretching force constants consistent with the usual inverse bond-length/force-constant relationship. Ab initio molecular orbital optimizations of the molecules constrained to Oh symmetry were carried out at several levels of theory and basis-set size. Less extensive optimizations of ReF6, OsF6, and IrF6 with D4h symmetry were also carried out. The best overall agreement with both the experimental values and the distance trend for Oh symmetry was obtained with the Hay-Wadt (n+1)VDZ basis on the metals and the aug-cc-pVTZ on the fluorines at the MP2 level, but these bases with B3P86 and B3PW91 density functional theory were nearly as good and with B3LYP only slightly worse. The D4h structures for ReF6, OsF6, and IrF6 with the cited bases at the B3P86 level were slightly more stable (respectively 0.8, 2.6, and 1.4 kcal/mol) with the axial bonds shorter by about 0.04 A in ReF6 and 0.07 A in OsF6, but about 0.05 A longer in IrF6. The significance of these values is uncertain. The experimental bond lengths (rg/A) with estimated 2sigma uncertainties for the models of Oh symmetry are W-F = 1.829(2), Re-F = 1.829(2), Os-F = 1.828(2), Ir-F = 1.839(2), and Pt-F = 1.852(2); the Pt-F value from the O2PtF6 sample was 1.851(2) A. Although the experimental data neither confirm nor refute the existence of the Jahn-Teller effect in ReF6, OsF6, and IrF6, they ensure that if present the distortion from Oh symmetry must be small.     

Porosity control in nylon-6/nylon-6, 6 membranes

The possibility of porosity control in N6/N66 membranes prepared from N6/N66 blend solutions of calcium chloride – methanol mixture was investigated. For N6/N66 blend solutions at 10 °C and 20 °C, the four-phase structure of solid, gel 1, gel 2 and solution was observed clearly in the pore formation process after adding water on a solution surface. In the boundary part between gel 1 and gel 2, the phase separation of N6 and N66 was predicted. The macroscopic pores of blend membranes prepared at 10°C and 20 °C were almost spherical.

Chemical modification of fumagillin. I. 6-O-acyl, 6-O-sulfonyl, 6-O-alkyl, and 6-O-(N-substituted-carbamoyl)fumagillols.

The hydroxy group of fumagillol (3), a degradation product of fumagillin (1), was acylated, sulfonylated, alkylated or carbamoylated, and the anti-angiogenic activity of the resulting products was examined. These compounds inhibited the angiogenesis induced by basic fibroblast growth factor in the rat corneal micropocket assay and the growth of vascular endothelial cells in vitro. Among them, compound 2 (AGM-1470) was found to show the most potent inhibitory effect on the growth of vascular endothelial cells and was selected from this series as a candidate for further development.     

Struktur und Bindung in Übergangsmetall-Fluoriden MIIMeIVF6: Neutronenbeugungs-Strukturuntersuchungen an CaSnF6, FeZrF6, und CrZrF6

Compounds M^IIMe^IVF₆ requently undergo phase transitions from the cubic ordered ReO₃ to the trigonal LiSbF₆ structure when lowering the temperature. In case of a strongly Jahn-Teller unstable cation in the M^II position additional phases may occur. Results of powder neutron-diffraction studies on CaSnF₆, FeZrF₆, and CrZrF₆ at different temperatures are reported. The high-temperature phases have the space group Fm3m; the F^? ligands are either statistically displaced from the M^IIMe^IV directions or undergo a strong thermal motion perpendicular to these directions ($\text{?M}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>II</mtext>}}\text{}\text{FMe}{}^{\mathrm{IV}}$: 165–180°). The thermal ellipsoids of the CrF bonds are strongly indicative of a dynamical Jahn-Teller effect in addition. In the low-temperature phases of CaSnF₆ and FeZrF₆ (space group $\text{R}\text{3}$) the $\text{?M}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>II</mtext>}}\text{}\text{FMe}{}^{\mathrm{IV}}$ is more distinctly bent (?155–160°). CrZrF₆ undergoes two reversible phase transitions, which are determined to occur at 415 ± 5 K (cubic → tetragonal, dynamic to static Jahn-Teller distortion of CrF₆ octahedra and 150 ± 10 K (tetragonal → (pseudo)monoclinic).     

Ready Access to 6-Alkyl, 6-Phenyl, 5,6-Dialkyl, and 5-Alkyl-6-phenyl Substituted 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinolines

 Readily available bicyclic enone precursors were used in a novel strategy for the synthesis of 6-mono- and 5,6-disubstituted tetrahydroisoquinolines (alkyl and phenyl in position 6, hydrogen and methyl in position 5). After 1,2-addition of the respective organometallic reagents to the enones, the crude intermediate alcohols were subjected to a dehydratization/aromatization procedure using the in situ generated triphenylmethyl cation. Overall yields obtained by this procedure were between 27 and 86%. Whereas the synthesis of N-benzyl protected 6-t-butyl-tetrahydroisoquinoline was successful, partial dealkylation occurred in the 5-methyl-6-t-butyl analogue. Some of the new N-benzyl tetrahydroisoquinolines were transformed into the corresponding unprotected heterocycles.

6-Desoxy-L-idose, 6-Desoxy-L-sorbose und 6-Desoxy-L-psicose. Desoxyzucker, 41. Mittelung [1]

Although crystalline 6-deoxy-L -idose ( 2 ) and crystalline 6-deoxy-L -sorbose ( 3 ) have similar melting points and specific rotations, they can be conclusively differentiated from one another through paper chromatography and paper electrophoresis. 6-Deoxy-L -idose cannot be converted into 6-deoxy-L -sorbose on short heating in very dilute aequeous mineral acids. The synthesis of amorphous 6-deoxy-L -psicose ( 17 ), through oxidative fermentation of 6-deoxy-L -allitol with Acetobacter suboxydans, has been described.     

Arachno, nido, and closo aromatic isomers of the Li6B6H6 molecule

We analyzed chemical bonding in low-lying isomers of the recently computationally predicted B(6)H(6)Li(6) molecule. According to our calculations the benzene-like B(6)H(6)Li(6) (D(2h), (1)A(1g)) arachno structure with the planar aromatic B(6)H(6)(6-) anion is the most stable one. A nido isomer with two aromatic B(6)H(6)(4-) (pentagonal pyramid) and Li(3)(+) (triangular) moieties, which can be considered as derived from the global minimum structure through a two-electron intramolecular transfer from B(6)H(6)(6-) to three Li(+) cations, was found to be 10.7 kcal/mol higher in energy. A closo isomer with three aromatic moieties (octahedral B(6)H(6)(2-) and two Li(3)(+)) was found to be 31.3 kcal/mol higher in energy than the global minimum. Another isomer with three aromatic moieties (two B(3)H(3)(2-) and Li(3)(+)) was found to be substantially higher in energy (74.4 kcal/mol). Thus, the intramolecular electron transfers from the highly charged B(6)H(6)(6-) anion to cations are not favorable for the B(6)H(6)Li(6) molecule, even when a formation of three-dimensional aromatic B(6)H(6)(2-) anion and two sigma-aromatic Li(3)(+) cations occurs in the closo isomer.     

A short and common stereoselective approach to 5/6, 6/6, 6/7 bicyclic aza sugars

An efficient and highly stereoselective approach to bicyclic aza sugars is described using Grignard reaction on an N-benzyl imine derived from 3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidine-α-d-xylo-pentodialdofuranose, ring closing metathesis, and reductive cyclization as key steps.     

Singlet-triplet energy separation in divalent seven-membered cyclic conjugated compounds C6H6C, C6H6Si, C6H6Ge, C6H6Sn, and C6H6Pb

The electronic and thermal energy differences, ΔE(t-s); enthalpy differences, ΔH(t-s); and free energy differences between the singlet and triplet states, ΔG(t-s), were calculated for C₆H₆C, C₆H₆Si, C₆H₆Ge, C₆H₆Sn, and C₆H₆Pb at the B3LYP/6-311++G (3df, 2p) level. The singlet-triplet splitting, G _s-t, of C₆H₆C, C₆H₆Si, C₆H₆Ge, C₆H₆Sn, and C₆H₆Pb generally increased from C₆H₆C toward C₆H₆Pb. The most stable tautomers and conformers were suggested for the singlet and triplet states of C₆H₆M (M = C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb). The geometrical parameters were calculated and discussed.
