Perimedine-linked rhodamine dye in visual sensing of Al3+, Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions in aqueous organic medium under different experimental conditions

ABSTRACT

Perimedine labelled rhodamine dye 1 has been designed and synthesised. Metal ion binding studies of 1 have been performed in CH₃CN/H₂O (3:1, v/v, 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH = 6.90). Compound 1 senses multiple metal ions such as Al³⁺, Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺ by exhibiting turn on fluorescence and colour change (colourless to pink) under different experimental conditions. Concentration variation distinguishes Al³⁺ from Fe³⁺ ion. At low concentration (c = 1 x 10^?4 M), only Al³⁺ ion can exhibit turn on fluorescence with sharp colour change. Sensing of Fe²⁺ ion through turn on fluorescence and colour change has been possible via in situ oxidation by following Fenton’s reaction.     

A squaraine-based chemosensor for Hg and Pb

A novel unsymmetrical cationic squaraine dye (USqH⁺), absorbing in the near-infrared region (600-850 nm), was synthesized by reacting a semi-squaric acid derivative 3-[4-(N,N-dioctylamino)phenyl]-4-hydroxycyclobutene-1,2-dione with the squarylium dye, bis(3-methylbenzothiazol-2-ylidene)squaraine. Addition of micromolar amounts of Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ to solutions of USqH⁺ in dichloromethane brings about significant changes in its absorption spectrum, resulting in a change in colour of the solution from green to pink. The absorption spectrum of the dye is relatively insensitive to other environmentally relevant metal ions, making it possible to visually detect Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ in the presence of other metal ions. Molecular modeling of the complexes at the density functional theory (DFT) and semiempirical PM3 levels strongly suggests that the oxygen atoms are the most likely choice for cation binding. The calculations also indicate a high affinity of Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ toward the formation of 2:1 complexes, which is in good agreement with the experimental results.     

Hydration of inorganic phosphates in crystal lattices and in aqueous solution. An experimental and theoretical study

B3LYP/6-31G* and 6-311++G** calculations have been carried out in order to study the hydration of phosphates in aqueous media. Optimized geometries and relative stabilities for PO4(-3), HPO(4)-2, H2PO4(-1) have been calculated considering the interaction with one, two, three, four and five discrete water molecules and taking into account the solvent effect by using the self-consistent reaction field theory (Onsager and PCM methods). The role of specific and bulk contributions of solvent effect on the observable properties of phosphate compounds is analysed. Good agreement between theoretical and available experimental results of harmonic vibration frequencies is found. Significant effects on the geometrical and vibrational frequencies are found for those studied phosphate anions. The results presented here provide a first step toward the understanding of the phosphate group as a hydration sensor in lipid bilayers.     

Reactions of (E)-4-Stilbenethiole with Dibromoalkanes

New substituted stilbenes have been prepared by reactions of (E)-4-stilbenethiole with dibromoalkanes. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of new compounds have been assigned unambiguously on the basis of a combination of homo- (¹H?¹H COSY) and heteronuclear (¹ H?¹³C COSY-HETCOR) two-dimensional methods, chemical shifts, and spin-coupling constants.     

The Synthesis of Novel Crown Ethers, Part VII [1]. Coumarin Derivatives of Benzocrowns and Cation Binding from Fluorescence Spectra

4-[3-(1-benzopyran-2-one)] derivativesof benzo[12]crown-4, benzo[15]crown-5 andbenzo-[18]crown-6 were synthesized from4-[3-(1-benzopyran-2-one)]-1,2-dihydroxy-benzenereacting with bis-ethyleneglycol dihalides orpentaethylene glycol ditosylate in alkali carbonate/DMF/water. The original products were identified byhigh resolution EI-mass spectra as well as IR,¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. The 1 : 1binding constants of Mg²⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺ andK⁺ with the coumarin-benzocrowns were estimated usingfluorescence emission spectroscopy in acetonitrile.The complexing enhanced quenching fluorescence spectra(CEQFS) and complexing enhanced fluorescence spectra(CEFS) exhibited the ion binding powers due tocationic recognition rules of the macrocycles.     

Optical properties of a polyethylene dispersion with a luminescent silica prepared by surface grafting of a perylene derivative

A micrometric silica modified with perylene derivative (SiO₂–TES) has been prepared by hydrolysis–condensation reactions between silica and N,N’-bis-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-perylene-tetracarboxyldiimide (P-TES) and utilized as filler in LLDPE films together with a compatibilizer. Spectroscopic analyses on SiO₂–TES confirmed the grafting of P-TES on silica, while its amount was determined by thermogravimetric analysis. Solid state NMR provided information about the structure of silicon atoms involved in the condensation of SiO₂ and P-TES that resulted mainly in silicon atoms grafted with bi-dentate anchorages.UV–Vis and fluorescence analyses carried out on P-TES showed the ability of the dye to generate J-type aggregates in apolar solvents. The same analyses on SiO₂–TES revealed the presence of both isolated and aggregated dye molecules grafted on silica surface, while on polymeric dispersions of SiO₂–TES, they have shown only the presence of P-TES aggregates grafted to silica.Thanks to the direct correlation between optical properties (obtained both by UV–Vis and by fluorescence analyses) and the chemical environment of composites, the luminescent silica SiO₂–TES could be used to estimate the filler dispersion extent in different microcomposite polymer materials.     

Spontaneous cyclization of (acridin-9-ylmethyl)thioureas to spiro [dihydroacridine-9′(10′H),5-imidazolidine]-2-thiones,a novel type of acridine spirocycles

Novel acridine spirocompounds, spiro[dihydroacridine-9′(10′H),5-imidazolidine]-2-thiones have been prepared by the spontaneous cyclization of 1-substituted 3-(acridin-9-ylmethyl)thioureas, which were obtained from 1-(acridin-9-yl)methanamine, N-(acridin-9-ylmethyl)propan-1-amine, and N-(acridin-9-ylmethyl)benzylamine and alkyl/aryl isothiocyanates, as continuation of our previous studies on new acridine spirocycles. Imidazolidine-2-thiones thus obtained were subsequently transformed with mesitylnitrile oxide to imidazolidine-2-one analogues, some of which partly reopened to the corresponding (acridin-9-ylmethyl)ureas. An unusual spirocyclization via a CH carbanion instead of the N-1 nitrogen has been found for 3-(acridin-9-ylmethyl)-1-(acridin-9-yl)thioureas possessing two acridine rings. Structural modifications in positions 1, 3, and 4 of the spiro ring together with ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography have been employed to rationalize a general propensity of various 9-substituted acridines to undergo easy spirocyclization.

The compounds have been characterized on the basis of elemental and spectral studies.     

Synthesis and Investigation of the Conformational Mobility of Certain (N-Benzyl-N-Nitrosoamino)azoles

The N-benzyl-N-nitroso derivatives of 1- and 4-amino-1,2,4-triazoles, and 2-amino-5-phenyltetrazoles, 1-aminobenzotriazole, 7-amino-8-methyltheophylline, and 1-amino-3-methylbenzimidazol-2-one have been synthesized. The ratio of E- and Z-forms for them, arising as a result of hindered rotation about the N-N(O) bond, has been determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The energy of activation for the E↔Z transition was estimated in several cases.Dedicated to Professor V. I.

Synthesis, Metal Complexation and Spectroscopic Characterization of Three New Azo Compounds

The synthesis of azo compounds [4-(N'-2-thiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-4'-hydroxyazo benzene (1), 4-(N'-2-thiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-2'-hydroxy-5-tert-butylazobenzene (2), 7-[4-(N'-2-thiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)phenylazo-8-hydroxy quinoline (3)] have been carried out by reacting phenol, 4-tert-butyl phenol and 8-hydroxy quinoline with N'-2-thiazol-2-ylsulfanylamide as coupling component. The resulting ligands (2 and 3) were treated with two transition metal salts (e.g., CuCl₂2H₂O andNiCl₂6H₂O). Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of the azo derivative ofphenol were obtained and characterised by IR, UV-Vis, ¹H NMR, spectroscopic and elemental analysis techniques. All the complexes have a metal : ligand ratio of 1 : 2 and are square-planar.     

Antimicrobial Properties of 4-Aryl-3-(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)-Δ2-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones

Four 4-aryl-3-(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)-Δ²-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones were synthesized by intramolecular cyclization of 4-aryl-1-[(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)carbonyl]thiosemicarbazides in alkaline medium. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized triazoles was evaluated. Semiempirical calculations of geometries, energies, and QSAR parameters have been determined in the hope of gaining insight into different biological activities of closely related isomers. New RM1 parameterization has been shown to perform very well for this class of compounds.

Synthesis, characterisation and theoretical studies on some piano-stool ruthenium and rhodium complexes containing substituted phenyl imidazole ligands

Reactions of the chloro-bridged arene ruthenium complexes [{(η⁶-arene)RuCl(μ-Cl}₂] (η⁶-arene = benzene, p-cymene) and structurally analogous rhodium complex [{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)RhCl(μ-Cl}₂] with imidazole based ligands viz., 1-(4-nitro-phenyl)-imidazole (NOPI), 1-(4-formylphenyl)-imidazole (FPI) and 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-imidazole (HPI) have been investigated. The resulting complexes have been characterised by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, electronic absorption and emission spectral studies. Crystal structure of the representative complex [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)RhCl₂(NOPI)] has been determined crystallographically. Geometrical optimisation on the complexes have been performed using exchange correlation functional B3LYP. Optimised bond lengths and angles of the complexes have been found to be in good agreement with our earlier reports and single crystal X-ray data of the complex [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)RhCl₂(NOPI)].     

Determination of the second-order H NMR parameters for the aromatic protons in 4-fluoroaniline and application to the analysis of the H NMR spectra for the aromatic protons in N-(4′-fluorophenyl)succinamic acid and in N-(4′-fluorophenyl)-3,3-difluorosuccinamic acid

Four studies of the ¹H NMR spectrum for the aromatic protons of 4-fluoroaniline between 1958 and 1974 give three very different solutions to the second-order, AA′BB′X, spectrum. A re-evaluation of the second-order spectrum was done at 300 MHz. Simultaneous simulations of the ¹H NMR spectrum and ¹⁹F NMR spectrum for 4-fluoroaniline were done using WINDNMR-Pro, and a new set of parameters for the six coupling constants was obtained from the optimized simulations. This new set of parameters was used as a basis to evaluate the AA′BB′X spectrum for the aromatic protons in N⁴-(4′-fluorophenyl)succinamic acid and in N⁴-(4′-fluorophenyl)-3,3-difluorosuccinamic acid by simultaneous simulations of the ¹H NMR spectrum and ¹⁹F NMR spectrum for each using WINDNMR-Pro. Formation of the amide bond results in small, but significant, changes in the values for the set of parameters in both molecules. These results confirm that second-order analyses as an AA′BB′X system are required for derivatives of 4-fluoroaniline, rather than first-order analyses that have been used in previous reports.     

Convenient Synthesis of Pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[4,3-c][1,2]oxazoles via Intramolecular Nitrile Oxide Cycloaddition

A simple and efficient synthetic route to the novel 3a,4-dihydro-3H,7H- and 4H,7H-pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[4,3-c][1,2]oxazole ring systems from 3-(prop-2-en-1-yloxy)- or 3-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde oximes has been developed by employing the intramolecular nitrile oxide cycloaddition (INOC) reaction as the key step. The configuration of intermediate aldoximes was unambiguously determined using NOESY experimental data and comparison of the magnitudes of ¹J_CH coupling constants of the iminyl moiety, which were greater by approximately 13 Hz for the predominant syn isomer. The structures of the obtained heterocyclic products were confirmed by detailed ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopic experiments and HRMS measurements.     

The Synthesis of Mono- and Bi-Metallic Platinum(II) and/or (IV) Complexes Containing the Ligand Bis(diphenylphosphino) Methylamine

Complexes of the type [Pt R₂ (dppma-PP′)] (R─Me, Et, Ph, CH₂Ph, C₆H₄ Me-p, C₆H₄OMe-2, CH₂CMe₃, 1-naphthyl, C₆H₄Me-o, dppma = Ph₂PNMe PPh₂) have been prepared from [PtCl₂, (dppma-PP′)] and the corresponding alkyl-lithium or Grignard reagents. Equilibrium constants, k, for the conversion of [PtR₂ (dppma-PP′)] into cis-[PtR₂(dppma-P)₂] with dppma were studied using ³¹P NMR spectroscopy at room temperature. Equilibrium is rapidly established for R─C₆H₄-Me-o, at 20°C. Complex of the type cis-[PtR₂ (dppma-P)₂] was isolated R─C₆H₄ Me-o. The complexes [PtMe₂(dppma-P)₂] and [Pt(o-methoxyphenyl)₂(dppma-P)₂] were prepared, but unfortunately decomposed once isolated, the only evidence for its formation being from ³¹P-{¹H} NMZR spectroscopy. The o-tolyl or 1-naphthyl complexes exist as syn-anti mixtures in solution, due to restricted rotation around the platinum aryl bonds. Treatment of several complexes of the type [PtR₂(dppma-PP′)] with MeI gives [PtR₂Me(I)(dppma-PP′)] with trans addition of MeI. Treatment of [PtR₂(dppma-PP′)] with HCl gives [Pt Cl (R) (dppma-PP′)] for R─C₆H₂Me₃-2,4,6, C₆H₄-CH₃-2, C₆H₄-Me-4, Me, 1-naphthyl. The ¹H, ³¹P NMR parameters for these complexes are discussed. Attempted preparation of complexes of the type [PtR₂ (dppma-P)₂M] (R─C₆H₄-Me-2, Me CN-C₆H₄-Me-4); M─Pd, Pt, Au,) are reported.     

Metal Chelates of Cerium (III), Thorium(IV) and Dioxouranium(VI) with Some Heterocyclic AZO Dyes; Potentiometric and Spectrophotometric Studies

ABSTRACT

The stepwise formation constants of Ce³⁺, Th⁴⁺ and UO₂ ²⁺ complexes with four azo compounds based on I-phenyl-2, 3-dimethylpyrazoline-5-one nucleus namely; 4-phenylazo- (2-hydroxy, 5-x) 1-pheny1-2, 3-dimethy1-pyrazoline-5-one, where x= H (1), OH (II), COOH (III) and NH₂ (IV) have been determined potentiometrically at different temperatures and ionic strengths in 30% (v/v) ethanol-water solutions, then the thermodynamic parameters are calculated.

Negatives values of both ∠H and ∠G are obtained indicating the exothermic and spontaneous nature of complexation reactions, whereas positive values of ∠S show that entropy consideration favour complex formation. The study at different ionic strengths shows that an increase in the latter causes a decrese in the pK values. The azo compounds are also tested as new reagents for the spectrophotometric determination of Ce³⁺, Th4⁺ and UO₂ ²⁺ ions in synthetic and natural solutions by extensive investigation of the optimum conditions favoring the formation of colored complexes.

Lithocholic acid N-(2-aminoethyl)amide (1) and deoxycholic acid N-(2-aminoethyl)amide(2) have been prepared and characterized by¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR. The accurate molecular masses of 1 and 2 have been determined by ESI MS. The formation of the Cd²⁺-complexes (1+Cd and 2+Cd) in CD₃OD solution have been detected by ¹H,¹³C, ¹⁵N and ¹¹³Cd NMR. The ¹³C NMR chemical shift assignments of 1 and 2 and their Cd²⁺-complexes are based on DEPT-135 and z-GS ¹H,¹³C HMQC experiments as well as comparison with the assignments of the related structures.

Features of the reaction of unsymmetrical 2-mercapto-imidazoles with aromatic and aliphatic ketones

The cyclization of unsymmetrical 2-mercaptoimidazoles with aliphatic and aromatic ketones has been studied. Using ¹H NMR and X-ray analysis it has been shown that 4-R¹-1H-2-mercaptoimidazoles undergo selective oxidative cyclization to the corresponding 3-R³-2-R²-6-R¹-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazoles while 6-R⁴-1H-2-mercaptobenzo[d]imidazoles give a mixture of 6-R⁴-3-R²-2-R³-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole and 7-R⁴-3-R²-2-R₃-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole in the ratio 1: 1. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 115–122, January, 2007.
