A New Type of Anionic Framework in Microporous Potassium Iron(II) Phosphate K[Fe(PO4)]

A new iron(II) orthophosphate K[Fe(PO₄)] has been obtained by hydrothermal synthesis and its crystal structure was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction: space group P2₁/n, Z = 8, a = 9.6199(10), b = 8.6756(8), c = 10.8996(13) Å, β = 115.577(8)° at 193 K, R = 0.023. Fe^II shows coordination numbers (CN) 4 (distorted tetrahedral) and CN 5 (distorted trigonal bipyramidal). The [FeO₄] and [FeO₅] units form together with the [PO₄] tetrahedra a microporous 3D para‐framework with open channels along the a and b directions. The potassium ions positioned in the channels show CN 7 and 8. The structural relations within the morphotropic row of non‐isotypic K[M(PO₄)] structures (M = Zn, Ni, Mn, Fe) are discussed on the basis of common basic structural units.     

Kinetics and reactivities of ruthenium(III)- and osmium(VIII)-catalyzed oxidation of ornidazole with chloramine-T in acid and alkaline media: A mechanistic approach

Ornidazole is an antiparasitic drug having a wide spectrum of activity. Literature survey has revealed that no attention has been paid towards the oxidation of ornidazole with any oxidant from the kinetic and mechanistic view point. Also no one has examined the role of platinum group metal ions as catalysts in the oxidation of this drug. Such studies are of much use in understanding the mechanistic profile of ornidazole in redox reactions and provide an insight into the interaction of metal ions with the substrate in biological systems. For these reasons, the Ru(III)- and Os(VIII)-catalyzed kinetics of oxidation of ornidazole with chloramine-T have been studied in HCl and NaOH media, respectively at 313 K. The oxidation products and kinetic patterns were found to be different in acid and alkaline media. Under comparable experimental conditions, in Ru(III)-catalyzed oxidation the rate law is −d[CAT]/dt = k [CAT]_o[ornidazole]_o^x[H⁺]^−y[Ru(III)]^z and it takes the form −d[CAT]/dt = k [CAT]_o[ornidazole]_o^x[OH⁻]^y[Os(VIII)][ArSO₂NH₂]^−z for Os(VIII)-catalyzed reaction, where x, y and z are less than unity. In acid medium, 1-chloro-3-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-yl)propan-2-one and in alkaline medium, 1-hydroxy-3-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-yl)propan-2-one were characterized as the oxidation products of ornidazole by GC–MS analysis. The reactions were studied at different temperatures and the overall activation parameters have been computed. The solvent isotope effect was studied using D₂O. Under identical set of experimental conditions, the kinetics of Ru(III) catalyzed oxidation of ornidazole by CAT in acid medium have been compared with uncatalyzed reactions. The relative rates revealed that the catalyzed reactions are about 5-fold faster whereas in Os(VIII) catalyzed reactions, it is around 9 times. The catalytic constant (K_C) has been calculated for both the catalysts at different temperatures and activation parameters with respect to each catalyst have been evaluated. The observed experimental results have been explained by plausible mechanisms. Related rate laws have been worked out.     

Poly(arylene ether)s and poly(arylene thioether)s containing the 1,2-dihydro-4-phenyl(2H)- phthalazinone moiety

A series of new high molecular weight poly(arylene ether)s containing the 1,2-dihydro-4-phenyl(2H)phthalazinone moiety have been synthesized. The inherent viscosities of these polymers are in the range of 0.33–0.64 dL/g. They are amorphous and readily soluble in chloroform, DMF, and DMAc. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers range from 241 to 320°C and the 5% weight loss temperatures in nitrogen atmosphere range from 473 to 517°C. The hydroxy group in the monomer 1,2-dihydro-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)(2H)phthalazin-1-one has been selectively transformed into the N,N′-dimethylthiocarbamate group, which was then rearranged to give the S-(N,N′-dimethylcarbamate) group via the Newman–Kwart rearrangement reaction. A series of poly(arylene thioether)s containing the 1,2-dihydro-4-phenyl(2H)phthalazinone moiety have also been synthesized via two types of reactions, a N C coupling reaction and a one-pot reaction between the S-(N,N′-dimethylcarbamate) and activated dihalo compounds, in diphenyl sulfone in the presence of a cesium carbonate and calcium carbonate mixture. These poly(arylene thioether)s also have high glass transition temperatures (ranging from 217–303°C) and high thermal stabilities. Compared with their poly(ether) analogs, the poly(arylene thioether)s have glass transition temperatures several degrees lower, which is attributed to the more flexible C S C bonds. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis,crystal structure and anti-ferromagnetic behavior of a two-dimensional manganese(II) complex with 3,6-dinitro-1,2,4,5,-benzenetetracarboxylate anion as bridging ligand

A two-dimensional complex {[Mn₂(DBT)(DMF)₄]·2H₂O}_n (DBT?=?3,6-dinitro-1,2,4,5- benzenetetracarboxylate anion; DMF?=?N,N-dimethylformamide) has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in a triclinic system and the space group is P 1 with a?=?9.012(5), b?=?9.196(6), c?=?9.910(6)?Å. In the complex there exist two kinds of coordination environments for Mn(II) ions; each DBT coordinates four Mn(II) ions by its four carboxylate groups and in this way a two-dimensional sheet was constructed. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility of the complex was measured in the 5–300?K range and the magnetic data indicate that the magnetic interaction between the bridged manganese(II) ions displays an anti-ferromagnetic coupling.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of a new copper(II) binuclear complex bridged by the reduced derivative of a nitronyl nitroxide biradical

A new copper(II) binuclear complex, [Cu(hfac)₂]₂(IMH)₂Ph(OMe)₂ ((IMH)₂Ph(OMe)₂?=?2,5-dimethoxyl-1,4-bis(4′,4′,5′,5′-tetramethylimidazoline-3′-oxide)benzene, hfac?=?hexafluoroacetonate), bridged by a reduced derivative of a nitronyl nitroxide biradical has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, with a?=?10.002(14), b?=?19.950(3), c?= 14.504(2) Å, β?=?108.842(3)° and Z?=?2. The structure refined to a final R value of 0.0644.

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetism of 1D cobalt(II) coordination polymer with thiocyanate as bridging ligand

A one-dimensional coordination polymer [Co(μ _1,3-NCS)₂(npdo)₂] _n (npdo?=?4-nitropyridine N-oxide) has been synthesized and structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group of Pbcn with a?=?22.688(5)?Å, b?=?7.2636(17)?Å, c?=?10.299(2)?Å. Adjacent Co(II) ions are coordinated by two μ _1,3-SCN^? bridging ligands, forming a one-dimensional chain along the c axis and the npdo coordinates to Co(II) ion as a terminal ligand. The thermal variation of the magnetic moments of the complex reflects the antiferromagnetic interaction between the bridged Co(II) ions above 20?K and the ferromagnetic transition or the strong short-range spin interaction below 20?K.     

Vinyl polymerization of acrylonitrile by the Ce(IV)-glucose redox system

Aqueous polymerization of acrylonitrile (M) initiated by the Ce(IV)-glucose (R) redox system has been studied under nitrogen in the temperature range of 30–40 °C. The rate of polymerization (Rp) is proportional to [M]², [R] and inversely proportional to [Ce(IV)]. The rate of ceric ion disappearance is proportional to [R] and [Ce(IV)]. The end group in the polymer is characterised by IR spectra. A suitable kinetic scheme has been proposed and explained in the light of these experimental findings.

By this methodology, a novel asymmetric total synthesis of CB2 receptor agonist MDA7 has been successfully developed.     

Preparation of New Substituted Bis(benzoyl) Peroxides under Aqueous Conditions in the Presence of Stearyltrimethylammonium Chloride

Summary. A series of new substituted bis(benzoyl) peroxides has been synthesised from their corresponding acid chlorides in high yield. The reactions were carried out in aqueous sodium peroxide solution and butanone in the presence of 0.5% stearyltrimethylammonium chloride (STAC) at a temperature below 15°C. STAC improved the purity, and the fast addition improved the yield of the peroxides. Mass spectral analysis of substituted bis(benzoyl) peroxides using EI has been carried out for accurate mass determinations.Present address: Boron Molecular Ltd.

Solid Phase Extraction of Thallium(III) on Micro Crystalline Naphthalene Modified with N,N’-Bis(3-methylsalicylidene)- ortho-phenylenediamine and Determination by Spectrophotometry

A novel, simple, sensitive and effective method has been developed for preconcentration of thallium on N,N’-bis(3-methylsalicylidene)-ortho-phenylenediamine (MSOPD) adsorbent in a pH range 5.0—10.0, prior to its spectrophotometric determination, based on the oxidation of bromopyrogallol red at λ＝520 nm. This method makes it possible to quantitize thallium in a range of 3.6×10－9 to 2.0×10－5 mol/L, with a detection limit (S/N＝3) of 1.42×10－9 mol/L. This procedure has been successfully applied to determine the ultra trace levels of thallium in the environmental samples, free from the interference of some diverse ions. The precision, expressed as relative standard deviation of three measurements, is better than 2.9%.     

A structural variability of copper(I) chloride-tetrahydrothiophene adducts crystallizing in polymeric forms and exhibiting polymorphism: The role of the solvent

The function of the solvent in the self-assembling mode of [CuCl] with tetrahydrothiophene is reported. Copper(l) chloride has been used in the form of [CuCOCl] _n , which is slightly soluble in the most common solvents, and to allow an homogeneous phase reaction.

Atropisomers of meso Tetra(N-Mesyl Pyrrol-2-yl) Porphyrins: Synthesis,Isolation and Characterization of All-Pyrrolic Porphyrins

Atropisomerism has been observed in a variety of biaryl compounds and meso-aryl substituted porphyrins. However, in porphyrins, this phenomenon had been shown only with o-substituted 6-membered aromatic groups at the meso-position. We show herein that a 5-membered heteroaromatic (N-mesyl-pyrrol-2-yl) group at the meso-position leads to atropisomerism. In addition, we report a ‘one-pot’ synthetic route for the synthesis of ‘all-pyrrolic’ porphyrin (APP) with several N-protection groups (Boc, Cbz, Ms and Ts). Among these groups, we found that only the Ms group gave four individually separable atropisomers of meso-tetra(N-Ms-pyrrol-2-yl) porphyrin. Furthermore, the reductive removal of Cbz- was achieved to obtain meso-tetra(pyrrol-2-yl) porphyrin. Thus, our synthetic procedure provides an easy access to a group of APPs and stable atropisomers, which is expected to expand the application of novel APP-based materials.

3-Substituted Sydnone Derivatives. Structures of 3-Cyclohexylsydnone and of Two Forms of 3-(3-Pyridyl)sydnone

The crystal and molecular structures of three sydnone derivatives are reported. The compound 3-cyclohexylsydnone crystallizes in space group C2/c of the monoclinic system with sixteen molecules in a cell of dimensions a = 19.326 (3), b = 9.471 (2), c = 20.005 (4)Å, β = 106.85(1)°. The structure has been refined to a final value of 0.0581 for the conventional R-factor based on 2222 independent observed intensities. Form I of 3-(3-pyridyl)sydnone crystallizes in space group P2/n of the monoclinic system with eight molecules in a cell of dimensions a = 7.317(2), b = 9.283 (2), c = 20.891 (6) Å, β = 99.61(2)°. The structure has been refined to a final value of 0.0514 for the conventional R-factor based on 1208 independent observed intensities. Form II of 3-(3-pyridyl)sydnone crystallizes in space group P2₁/c of the monoclinic system with eight molecules in a cell of dimensions a=9.073 (2), b = 22.267 (5). c = 7.494(2)Å, β = 112.15 (2)°. The structure has been refined to a final value of 0.0462 for the conventional R-factor based on 1330 independent observed intensities. Each of the three structures contains two crystallographically independent molecules in the cell. In the case of 3-cyclohexylsydnone, one of the independent molecules exhibits disorder around the exocyclic bond at N(3). A comparison of bond lengths indicates that the (electron donating) cyclohexyl group brings about enhanced electron density in the N(3)-C(4) bond, and possibly in the N(3)-N(2) bond. All three structures studied here exhibit intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving C(4)-H(4)…O(6) interactions. Although there are no stacking interactions in the cyclohexyl derivative, there is evidence for such interactions in the 3-pyridyl derivatives.     

Synthesis of highly fluorescent materials: Isoindole-containing polymers

A series of stable, highly fluorescent and highly phenylated isoindoles have been synthesized by treating the respective o-dibenzoylbenzenes with anilines at 200°C in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid. The correlation between the emission frequences and the structures of the isoindoles is described. The same reaction has also been used to transform a series of poly(o-dibenzoylbenzene)s into poly(isoindole)s. The resulting polymers have been studied by ¹H-NMR, DSC, TGA, and fluorescence spectra. They are highly fluorescent materials with high molecular weights, high glass transition temperatures, and high thermal stabilities. The tetraphenyl substituted isoindole-containing polymers have a maximum emission around 468 nm, whereas the diphenyl substituted isoindole-containing polymers have their maximum emission around 486 nm. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
