Synthesis and applications of (R)- and (S)-7,7′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene

The synthesis of (R)- and (S)-7,7′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene 5a and 5b is described. The phosphorus atoms in (S)-(−)-5b are shown to be slightly more basic than the phosphorus atoms in (S)-BINAP by comparing the magnitude of the ¹J (³¹P–⁷⁷Se) coupling constant in their respective diselenide derivatives. (S)-(−)-5b behaved similarly to (S)-BINAP in asymmetric Heck reactions.     

Bidimensional chronoabsorptometric study of electropolymerisation of 4,4′-bis(2-methylbutylthio)-2,2′-bithiophene

Bidimensional chronoabsorptometry is a novel spectroelectrochemical technique that monitors simultaneously three different signals: current and absorbance both normal to the electrode plane and parallel to this plane during a time in which a fixed potential is imposed. This technique is applied in the visible range to the study of the electropolymerisation of 4,4^′-bis(2-methylbutylthio)- 2,2^′-bithiophene (MBTBT). Experiments are performed in a spectroelectrochemical cell under finite diffusion conditions (thin layer cell) with the aim of interpreting the processes taking place both at the electrode surface and in the adjacent solution during the potentiostatic electrogeneration and deposition of the polymer. Correlations are drawn out among the trends of the oligomers concentration in solution, the polymer electrodeposition and charging, and the current flow, on the time scales of the different steps of the process.     

2,2′-dipyridylamine complexes of rhenium(V)

The reactivity of oxorhenium(V) precursors with the potentially N,N-donor ligand 2,2′-dipyridylamine (dpa) has been investigated. Reaction of a two-fold molar excess of dpa with trans-[ReO(OEt)Cl₂(PPh₃)₂] in ethanol led to the isolation of [ReOCl₂(OEt)(dpa)] (1). Spectroscopic measurements indicate that dpa is coordinated as a bidentate in the equatorial plane cis to the oxo group, with the ethoxide in the trans position. Treatment of trans-[ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] with a tenfold molar excess of dpa in ethanol at reflux yielded the trans-dioxo complex [ReO₂(dpa)₂]Cl (2), but with a twofold molar excess (μ-O)[{ReOCl₂(dpa)}₂] (3a) was isolated. The latter reaction with (n-Bu₄N)[ReOCl₄] as starting material in ethanol at room temperature led to a dark green product, also with the formulation (μ-O)[{ReOCl₂(dpa)}₂] (3b). These compounds were characterised by common spectroscopic techniques, and the crystal structures of 2·3H₂O, 3a and 3b·2DMSO were determined. The structure of 3b presents a nearly linear O=Re–O–Re=O group, with the two [ReOCl₂(dpa)] halves of the dimer rotated by 180.0° about the Re–O–Re fragment away from an eclipsed conformation. In 3a, the two halves are only rotated by 61.4°.

Thermal Degradation of Polymers. IV. Poly-2,2′-(m-phenylene)-5,5′-bibenzimidazole

The thermal decomposition of poly-2,2′-(m-phenylene)-5,5′-bibenzimidazole has been investigated at temperatures to 916°C. Mass-spectrometric thermal analysis (MTA), supported by elemental analysis of residues at various stages of a thermogravimetric analysis, was used to determine product distribution as a function of temperature. Below 550°C, the major product is water. Above 550°C, degradation of the heterocyclic structure to hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, and water begins. Hydrogen and methane probably are formed from decomposition and condensation of the carbocyclic structure. Activation energies for the formation of each major product were derived from the MTA data. The average of these is somewhat temperature-dependent but agrees within experimental error with the value of 44 ± 11 kcal obtained from isothermal kinetics. A mechanism involving initial hydrolysis of the polymer to an amine-substituted polyamide is postulated. Subsequent homolytic reactions account for formation of the major products.     

Photophysical Properties of 4′-(p-aminophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine

Spectral and photophysical investigations of 4′-(p-aminophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (APT) have been performed in various solvents with different polarity and hydrogen-bonding ability.The emission spectra of APT are found to exhibit dual fluorescence in polar solvents, which attributes to the local excited and intramolecular charge transfer states, respectively. The two-state model is proven out for APT in polar solvent by the time-correlated single photon counting emission decay measurement. Interestingly, the linear relationships of different emission maxima and solvent polarity parameter are found for APT in protic and aprotic solvents, because of the hydrogen bond formation between APT and alcohols at the amino nitrogen N25. Furthermore, the effects of the complexation of the metal ion with tpy group of APT and the hydrogen bond formation between APT with methanol at the terpyridinenitrogen N4—N8—N14 are also presented. The appearance of new long-wave absorption and fluorescence bands indicates that a new ground state of the complexes is formed.     

Synthesis of poly(2,2′,3,3′-indole)

New approaches to the synthesis of poly(2,2′,3,3′-indole) were developed based on the photochemical dehydropolycondensation of indole in the presence of iodine and the photochemical polycondensation of 1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-iodo-1-ethanone in the absence of catalyst and solvent. A suggested mechanism for the formation of the oligomeric chain in these reactions includes the intermediate formation of 3,3′-diindole with subsequent polycondensation via elimination of hydrogen atoms at position 2 of the dimer pyrrole fragment.     

Comparative analysis of physicochemical properties of dinuclear zinc(II) helicates with 2,2′-, 2,3′-, and 3,3′-bis(dipyrromethenes)

The effect of the attachment position of a methylene spacer in 2,2′-, 2,3′-, and 3,3′-bis(dipyrromethene) N₄-ligands (H₂L) on physicochemical properties of their dinuclear homoleptic helicates [Zn₂L₂], such as specific features of their molecular structure, luminescence spectral characteristics, lability in acid solutions, and thermal stability in an argon atmosphere, has been examined. It has been shown that the substitution of the biladiene-type helicand by its 2,3- and especially 3,3′-analogues leads to a considerable enhancement of the chromophoric properties, an increase (up to 30-fold) of the fluorescence quantum yield, and an increase in the stability of corresponding dinuclear helicates [Zn₂L₂].     

Electrochemistry of microparticles of tris (2,2′-bipyridine) ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate

The electrochemical behaviour of tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate (Ru(II)) microparticles, immobilised on a graphite electrode and adjacent to an aqueous electrolyte solution, has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and an in situ spectroelectrochemical technique. The solid Ru(II) complex exhibits one reversible redox couple with a formal potential (E_f) of 1.1 V versus Ag¦AgCl. The continuous cyclic voltammetric experiments showed that the Ru(II) microparticles are stable during the electrochemical conversions. The in situ spectroelectrochemical study showed that the absorbance at 463 nm decreased due to the oxidation of Ru(II) to Ru(III). Upon reduction, the growth of absorbance at 463 nm was observed due to the formation of Ru(II) complex and this process was reversible.

Crystallographic and computational study of the structure of copper(II) 2,2′-bis(2-oxidobenzylideneamino)-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl

The reaction of M(OAc)₂ with 2,2′-bis(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl (H₂L1) allows the synthesis of 2,2′-bis(2-oxidobenzylideneamino)-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl complexes of Cu(II) (CuL1), Co(II) (CoL1) and Ni(II) (NiL1) that were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and for CuL1 also by X-ray crystallography verifying a tetradentate binding mode of L1 via an (ONNO) motif of the two phenolic oxygen atoms and two azomethine nitrogen atoms. Recrystallization from a solvent mixture of dichloromethane and methanol promotes the formation of methanol adducts. Different binding modes of the methanol–complex were investigated using density functional theory calculations and binding energies, and thermodynamic data of the interaction are reported. The results show that the favored interaction occurs when the methanol molecule acts as a Lewis acid weakly binding via an O–H···O hydrogen bridge to a phenoxide moiety leading to an elongation of the respective M–O bond.

Structural Relationships Afforded by the Coordination of 2,2′-Bipyridine to the (Iminodiacetato)Copper(II) Chelate: Synthesis,Structure and Properties of (2,2′-Bipyridine) (N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Iminodiacetato) Copper(II)Tetrahydrate

Abstract

The stoichiometric reaction of copper(II) hydroxycarbonate, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetic acid [H₂heida?HOCH₂CH₂N(CH₂CO₂H)₂)] and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) in water yields crystalline (2,2′-bipyridine)(N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetato)copper(II) tetrahydrate, [Cu(heida)-(bipy)] · 4H₂O (compound I). This was studied by TG analysis (with FT-IR study of evolved gases), IR, electronic and ESR spectra, magnetic susceptibility data and single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallises in the triclinic system, space group P1, a = 7.011(2), b = 12.586(3), c = 13.052(3) Å, α = 62.14(1), β = 80.51(2), γ = 77.09(2)°, Z = 2, final R ₁ = 0.051 for 3900 independent reflections. The Cu(II) atom exhibits an asymmetric, elongated, octahedral coordination (type 4+1 + 1), and bipy acts as an N,N-bidentate ligand supplying two among the four closest donor atoms of the metal (Cu-N bond lengths of 1.994(2) and 2.053(2) Å); heida plays an N,O,O′,O″-tetradentate chelating role (bond lengths Cu?N = 2.075(2), Cu-O(carboxyl) = 1.958(2), Cu-O′(carboxyl) = 2.337(2) and Cu-O″(hydroxyl) = 2.459(2) Å). The effective bidentate chelation of bipy imposes fac-chelation to the iminodiace-tate moiety of heida in I, as previously reported in mixed-ligand complexes having a 1:1:2 Cu(II)/IDA/N(heterocyclic) or a 1/1/(1 + 1) Cu/IDA/(N-heterocyclic + N-aliphatic) donor ratio. The tetradentate role of heida in I reveals its noticeable conformational flexibility. The crystal features a hydrogen bond network forming supra-molecular chains extending along the a axis. These are linked by two symmetry-related hydrogen bonds of the type O(hydroxyl)-H…O′(carboxyl) between two adjacent complex units (symmetry code i=-x, -y+1, -z+1), related to each other by an inversion centre.     

Synthesis,resolution and application of 2,2′-bis(di-2-furylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene

Photochemical Behavior of Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) Complexes of 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-Bipyridine

Several mixed-ligand complexes of formula [MX 2 (MBPY)] {where M is Pd(II) or Pt(II); X is Cl m , I m , N 3 m or NO 2 m and MBPY is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine} have been prepared. The UV-Vis spectra of these complexes were found to show a low-lying MLCT band and on irradiation at the MLCT band these complexes sensitize the oxidation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol (XH) in N , N -dimethylformamide (DMF) to 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinoloxy free radical (XO). This photo-oxidation reaction involves singlet molecular oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) as an intermediate and its presence was confirmed by quenching studies using bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)nickel(II) [Ni(DDTC) 2 ], a well-known 1 O 2 quencher. The ability of the complexes to photosensitize the above photo-oxidation reaction follows the order: [Pt ( N 3 ) 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 2 ) ～ [Pt ( NO 2 ) 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 3 ) > [PtCl 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 4 ) > [PtI 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 1 ) > [Pd ( NO 2 ) 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 7 ) ～ [Pd ( N 3 ) 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 6 ) > [PdCl 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 8 ) > [PdI 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 5 ), which reflects the nature of the metal ion and the nature of the ligands present in the complexes.
