Determination of traces of molybdenum and tungsten by extraction and polarography of their salicoylhydroxamates

Molybdenum and tungsten salicoylhydroxamates have been extracted into methyl isobutyl ketone or a mixture of chloroform and isobutyl alcohol from 1.5M hydrochloric acid and subjected to DC and derivative pulse polarography (DPP) after addition of methanolic lithium chloride solution, phosphoric acid and water in defined proportions. Molybdenum gives two DC waves with E(1 2 ) at -125 and -525 mV and a sharp DPP peak at -75 mV, whereas tungsten shows a single DC wave at -840 mV and a DPP peak at -850 mV. The two metals can be determined down to the sub-ppm level.     

全金属负离子团簇Ga42-、In42-芳香性的磁特征与多重芳香性

The optimized geometries, frequencies, and total electronic energies of two all-metal dianionic clusters Ga42- , In42- are calculated at the B3LYP, B3PW91, and MP2 levels of theory. There are two stable structures for each Ga42- , In42- species. For Ga42- , In42- species the square isomers are the most stable. On the basis of these computed stable structures we focus on two magnetic properties: magnetic susceptibility anisotropy and nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) for the square planar Ga42- , In42- isomers, which are calculated with B3LYP and HF methods. The computed results of NICS show that the square planar Ga42- , In42- isomers possess strong aromaticity. The detailed molecular orbital analysis for the two isomers further reveals that the two square planar Ga42- , In42- isomers have multiple-fold aromaticity: one delocalized π MOs and two delocalized σ MOs, which play important role in explaining the special stability of these all-metal square clusters.

Synthesis, structure and dynamics of methoxynaphthalene-substituted phospha-ruthenocenes and -ferrocenes

The syntheses of potassium 2-(2'-methoxynaphth-1'-yl)-3,4-dimethyl-5-phenylphospholide 4 and eta5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl(eta5-2-(2-methoxynaphth-1-yl)-3,4-dimethyl-5-phenylphospholyl)-ruthenium(II)5 and -iron(II)6 are described. The barrier to rotation of the naphthyl group (79 kJ mol-1 and 72 kJ mol-1 in CD2Cl2 respectively) characterises 5 and 6 as potential tropos type ligands. Coordination of 5 to [PtCl2(PEt3)] gives two cis and two trans complexes [PtCl2(PEt3)5] wherein rotation about the phospholyl-naphthyl vector is slow.     

Spectroscopy behavior of diiodofluorescein and tetrabromofluorescein

The luminescence behavior of diiodofluorescein (DIF) and tetrabromofluorescein (TBF) have been investigated including the solid surface room temperature phosphorescence (SS-RTP) and the room temperature fluorescence (RTF). The luminescence intensities of the two compounds are strongest in alkaline solution. RTP lifetime of the two compounds are in the range of 130-140 ms. The RTP and RTF polarization was in the range of 0.01-0.05. The two analytical methods--SS-RTP and RTF, of the two compounds have been established.

Synthesis and crystal structure of two new discrete, neutral complexes of manganese and zinc using a rigid organic clip

Two discrete neutral dimanganese(II) and tetrazinc(II) complexes were synthesized from a rigid organic clip and the corresponding metal acetates. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The manganese species is a dinuclear discrete product with two disordered acetates bridging two manganese centers, while the zinc one consists of two octahedral and two tetrahedral Zn(II) centers with both bridging acetates and triply micro(3)-hydroxides. Variable temperature magnetic measurement reveals the existence of weak antiferromagnetic interaction (J = -1.6 cm(-)(1); H = -2JS(1).S(2)) within the manganese complex.

Dynamic equilibrium of a supramolecular dimeric rhomboid and trimeric hexagon and determination of its thermodynamic constants

A supramolecular dimeric rhomboid and its trimeric counterpart, a hexagon, are generated by design via the directional bonding methodology of self-assembly. The different-sized supramolecular macrocycles formed by Pt-coordination undergo a concentration- and temperature-dependent dynamic equilibrium. The two structures are characterized by multinuclear NMR and ESI-MS. Extensive study of the dynamic equilibrium of the two species in solution is performed to obtain its thermodynamic properties. By varying the ionic strength, mu, of the solutions, the true thermodynamic equilibrium constant, K, is determined at each experimental temperature (K(253) = 36 +/- 7, K(273) = 18 +/- 6, K(293) = 10 +/- 3, K(313) = 9 +/- 2, K(333) = 5 +/- 2, and K(353) = 3.0 +/- 0.2). By applying these values of true K at the respective temperatures to the van't Hoff equation extended with the entropy term, the standard enthalpy and entropy changes are determined for the equilibrium: with Delta H degrees = -18 +/- 1 kJ mol(-1) and Delta S degrees = -43 +/- 4 J mol(-1) K(-1), respectively, for the forward reaction (rhomboid to hexagon) of the equilibrium. The rhomboid is selectively crystallized, and its crystal structure is determined by X-ray diffraction. The structure reveals a significant amount of porosity as well as distortion of the rhomboid from planarity, leading to channels that can be observed from two viewing positions of the packing.

Isolation and characterisation of bioactive isoflavonoids from the roots of Dalbergia horrida

The roots of Dalbergia horrida yielded two new isoflavanones, Dalhorridin (I) - 5,5'-dihydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy-5'-prenyl-6',6'-dimethyl-dihydropyrano(2',3' : 7,8)-isoflavanone and Dalhorridinin (II) - 5,7,5'-trihydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy-8-[5-methyl-2-(2-hydroxyisopropyl)-1,4-hexadienyl]isoflavanone along with two known isoflavones, Dalspinin and Dalspinosin.

Metal-controlled assembly and selectivity of a urea-based anion receptor

1-(3-[1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl-phenyl)-3-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-urea (1) forms a solution-stable 1:2 complex with copper(I), [CuI(1)2]+, which behaves as an anion receptor in aprotic media. The [CuI(1)2]+ receptor may adopt a geometrical arrangement in which the two facing urea subunits give tetrafurcate H-bond interaction with a spherical anion (halides and H2PO4-). In the presence of the Y-shaped acetate, the [CuI(1)2]+ receptor rearranges to interact with two CH3COO- ions, according to two stepwise equilibria. Thus, in the presence of substoichiometric amounts of the anions, [CuI(1)2]+ discriminates H2PO4- over CH3COO-, inverting the basicity trend.     

Design and evaluation of a crystalline hybrid of molecular conductors and molecular rotors

Combining recent concepts from the fields of molecular conductivity and molecular machinery we set out to design a crystalline molecular conductor that also possesses a molecular rotor. We report on the structures, electronic and physical properties, and dynamics of two solids with a common 1,4-bis(carboxyethynyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octane (BABCO) functional rotor. One, [nBu(4)N(+)](2)[BABCO][BABCO(-)](2), is a colorless insulator where the dicarboxylic acid cocrystallizes with two of its monoanionic conjugated bases. The other is self-assembled by electrocrystallization in the form of black, shiny needles, with highly conducting molecular slabs of (EDT-TTF-CONH(2))(2)(+) (EDT-TTF = ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene) and anionic [BABCO(-)] rotors. Using variable-temperature (5-300 K) proton spin-lattice relaxation, (1)H T(1)(-1), we were able to assign two types of Brownian rotators in [nBu(4)N(+)](2)[BABCO][BABCO(-)](2). We showed that neutral BABCO groups have a rotational frequency of 120 GHz at 300 K with a rotational barrier of 2.03 kcal mol(-1). Rotors on the BABCO(-) sites experience stochastic 32 GHz jumps at the same temperature over a rotational barrier of 2.72 kcal mol(-1). In contrast, the BABCO(-) rotors within the highly conducting crystals of (EDT-TTF-CONH(2))(2)(+)[BABCO(-)] are essentially "braked" at room temperature. Notably, these crystals possess a conductivity of 5 S cm(-1) at 1 bar, which increases rapidly with pressure up to 50 S cm(-1) at 11.5 kbar. Two regimes with different activation energies E(a) for the resistivity (180 K above 50 and 400 K below) are observed at ambient pressure; a metallic state is stabilized at ca. 8 kbar, and an insulating ground state remains below 50 K at all pressures. We discuss two likely channels by which the motion of the rotors might become slowed down in the highly conducting solid. One is defined as a low-velocity viscous regime inherent to a noncovalent, physical coupling induced by the cooperativity between five C(sp3)-H···O hydrogen bonds engaging any rotor and five BABCO units in its environment. The rotational barrier calculated with the effect of this set of hydrogen bonds amounts to 7.3 kcal mol(-1). Another is quantum dissipation, a phenomenon addressing the difference of dynamics of the rotors in the two solids with different electrical properties, by which the large number of degrees of freedom of the low dimensional electron gas may serve as a bath for the dissipation of the energy of the rotor motion, the two systems being coupled by the Coulomb interaction between the charges of the rotors (local moments and induced dipoles) and the charges of the carriers.     

Absolute Configuration of Multifidene and Viridiene,the Sperm Releasing and Attracting Pheromones of Brown Algae

The absolute configurations of the two algal pheromones multifidene 1 and viridiene 2 were determined as (+)-(3S, 4S)-3-[(Z)-1-butenyl]-4-vinylcyclopentene and (+)-(3R, 4S)-3-[(1Z)-1, 3-butadienyl]-4-vinylcyclopentene, respectively. The strategy involves enzyme-initiated asymmetric synthesis of the ring-saturated pheromone analogues (+)- 8a and (?)- 8b and their subsequent catalytic hydrogenation to the chiral cycloalkanes 9a and 9b , only the letter of which is also obtained from the two natural messengers (+)- 1 or (+)- 2 . Biological activity assays proved these enantiomers of 1 or 2 to be the characteristic pheromones for male gametes of the seaweeds Syringoderma, Cutleria multifida and Chorda tomentosa.     

On the aromaticity of square planar Ga4(2-) and In4(2-) in gaseous NaGa4- and NaIn4- clusters

We investigated the electronic structure and chemical bonding of two bimetallic clusters NaGa4- and NaIn4-. Photoelectron spectra of the anions were obtained and compared with ab initio calculations. We found that the ground state of the two anions contains a square planar dianion interacting with a Na+ cation. The Ga4(2-) and In4(2-) dianions both possess two delocalized pi electrons and are considered to be aromatic, similar to that recently found in Al4(2-). Using calculations for a model compound, we showed that a recently synthesized Ga4-organometallic compound also contains an aromatic -Ga4(2-)- unit, analogous to the gaseous clusters.     

Synthesis and properties of two new liquid crystals: an analytical and thermodynamic study

Synthesis, analytical performances, thermodynamic and surface properties of two new liquid crystals substituted with poly(ethylene oxide) chains are described. The first of them is N,N'-diphenyl-[4-[2,3,4-tri[2-(2-metoxyethoxy)ethoxy]benzylidene]i mine]piperidine (LC1) and the second is 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-[4-[2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethoxy]] 4'-[4-[2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethoxy]styryl]azobenzene (LC2). The nematic ranges of the two liquid crystals, determined by differential scanning calorimetry do not interfere. The analytical and thermodynamic studies of LC1 and LC2 in the solid, nematic and liquid state were done using a series of appropriate solutes. Comparison of the analytical performances shows a better efficiency in the nematic state.

Dimerization of the keto tautomer of acetohydroxamic acid-infrared matrix isolation and theoretical study

Dimerization of the keto tautomer of acetohydroxamic acid has been studied using FTIR matrix isolation spectroscopy and DFT(B3LYP)/6-31+G(d,p) calculations. Analysis of CH3CONHOH/Ar matrix spectra indicates formation of two dimers in which two intramolecular CO...HON bonds within two interacting acetohydroxamic acid molecules are retained. A chain dimer I is stabilized by the intermolecular CO...HN hydrogen bond, whereas the cyclic dimer II is stabilized by two intermolecular NH...O(H)N bonds. Twelve vibrations were identified for dimer I and six vibrations for dimer II; the observed frequency shifts show a good agreement with the calculated ones for the structures I and II. Both dimers have comparable binding energies (DeltaE(ZPE)(CP)I, II=-7.02, -6.34 kcal mol-1) being less stable than calculated structures III and IV (DeltaE(ZPE)(CP)III, IV=-9.50, -8.87 kcal mol-1) in which one or two intramolecular hydrogen bonds are disrupted. In the most stable 10-membered cyclic dimer III, two intermolecular CO...HON hydrogen bonds are formed at expense of intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the same type. The formation of the less stable (AHA)2 dimers in the studied matrixes indicates that the formation of (AHA)2 is kinetically and not thermodynamically controlled.     

New features on the fragmentation and differentiation of C-glycosidic flavone isomers by positive electrospray ionization and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

Six flavone mono-C-glucosides, four standards (beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> C-6)- and -(1 --> C-8)- apigenin and luteolin) and two others from lemon juice (beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> C-6)- and -(1 --> C-8)-diosmetin) have been studied in order to analyze their fragmentation patterns. Initial separation was carried out using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC/DAD) coupled to an electrospray ionization (ESI) interface and a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Several systematic differences between collision-induced dissociation tandem mass (CID-MS/MS) spectra of C-6- and C-8-isomers have been found and some general guidelines and two new diagnostic product ions have been proposed for the differentiation of C-6- and C-8-flavonoid glycosides. These results have been successfully applied to the characterization of two flavone C-glycosides found in lemon juice, and mass spectra of a flavone di-C-glycoside detected in lemon juice have been studied and interpreted.
