3-Methyl-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole as a ring-colorimetric reagent for the selective microevaluation of Au(III), Ti(I), and Ag(I)

MAMT has been studied for its microanalytical uses. Selective microevaluation of Au(III), Ag(I), and Tl(I) have been carried out with MAMT, incorporating masking and solvent extraction techniques in conjunction with ring colorimetry. MAMT has also been used as a chromogenic reagent for Au(III), while PTC had to be used for Ag(I) and Tl(I) as their MAMT complexes are white.     

A sesquiterpene lactone fromAcroptilon repens

A new sesquiterpene lactone has been isolated from the epigeal part ofAcroptilon repens, with the composition C₁₉H₂₂O₆, mp 199–201°C, M⁺ 346, and it has been called acroptin (I). The treatment of (I) with acetic anhydride in pyridine gave a diacetate (II). The structure of (I) has been confirmed by the NMR spectra of (I) and (II). Details of the IR and NMR spectra of (I) and (II) are presented.     

Review: Multimetallic silver(I)–pyridinyl complexes: coordination of silver(I) and luminescence

This review highlights some structural features and luminescent properties of homo- and hetero-multinuclear silver(I)–pyridinyl complexes. It focuses on the coordination and geometry of the silver(I) ions to the pyridinyl-nitrogen. For this reason, we have considered only pyridinyl-N–Ag(I) complexes whose crystal data are available. In addition, this review does not consider mononuclear silver(I)–pyridinyl complexes as these have been reviewed elsewhere. This is motivated by the fact that multinuclear silver(I)–pyridinyl complexes have been shown to be more stable in solution, possess enhanced properties, and have fascinating structures compared to their mononuclear counterparts. The introduction highlights pyridinyl ligands used in complexation of silver(I) ions. The main body highlights complexation of silver(I) through pyridinyl nitrogen and the interactions found in the multinuclear silver(I)–pyridinyl complexes as well as the coordination number and geometry of silver(I) centers. Though silver(I) has been flaunted to prefer linear twofold coordination geometry, from this review, it is clear that higher coordination numbers in varied geometries are possible. These include distorted trigonal planar, T-shaped, distorted tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral geometries. Coordination of silver(I) to pyridinyl ligands and their metalloligands has been observed to impart or enhance luminescent properties in the ensuing complexes.     

Synthesis and properties of 3-nitrosocarbazole

The synthesis of 3-nitrosocarbazole (I) by the Fischer-Hepp rearrangement of 9-nitrosocarbazole has been described. The resistance of I to oxidation provides evidence that it cannot be the intermediate in the conversion of 9-nitrosocarbazole to the C-nitro compounds. It has also been shown that I and its derivatives cannot be synthesized by the action nitrosyl chloride on carbazoles. Methylation of I yields 9-methyl-3-nitrosocarbazole, 9,9′-dimethyl-3-azocarbazole and 9,9′-dimethyl-3-azoxycarbazole as the main products. The mechanism of this disproportionation process has been proposed. The spectral data of I are given.     

异吲唑硝基取代衍生物的HEI2光电子能谱——-"轨道换向"现象的又一例证

The HeIα PES of indazole (1a), 3-bromoindazole (2a) and their isomeric nitro derivatives 1b-e and 2b-e have been recorded. It has been found that the lowest π^-^1 ionization energies (I1)^m, (I2)^m are moved towards higher energies under the influence of the nitro group, but that there is no significant dependence of the size of the shifts (ΔI1)^m, (ΔI2)^m on the position of the group. The result, which is at variance with the predications derived from a naive perturbation treatment based on the π orbitals of 1a, has been explained as being due to "orbital switching" in the substituted derivatives.

Resonance Rayleigh scattering method for the determination of cationic surfactants with chromium(VI)-iodide system.

A method for detecting and identifying cationic surfactant in some chemical samples for daily use that include Head & Shoulder Ampoule and Slek Shower Lotion has been developed. In an acid medium, chromium(VI) oxidizes I(-) to produce I(2), I(2) binds excess of I(-) to form I(3)(-), and I(3)(-) can further react with a cationic surfactant (CS) (such as cetyldimethyl benzylammonium chloride (CDBAC), Zephiramine (Zeph), cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB), tetradecyl pyridinium bromide (TPB) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)) to form ion-association complexes [CS][I(3)]. This results in a significant enhancement of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and appearance of new RRS spectra. The RRS spectral characteristics of the ion-association complexes, the influencing factors and the optimum conditions of the reactions have been investigated. The intensities of RRS are directly proportional to the concentration of CS. CS in samples are collected using a treated anion exchange column and subsequently complexed by I(3)(-); then the RRS intensities of CS complex are determined at 495 nm. The reactions have high sensitivities, and their detection limits are 7.05 - 9.62 ng/mL for different CS. The effects of foreign substances are investigated and the results show that the method has good selectivity.     

Synthesis of a Dimeric Magnesium(I) Compound by an MgI/MgII Redox Reaction

The synthesis of dimeric magnesium(I) compounds of the general type RMgMgR (R=monoanionic substituent) is still a challenging synthetic task and limited to few examples with sterically demanding ligands with delocalized CN‐frameworks that all have been accessed by Na or K metal reduction of magnesium(II) halide precursors. Here we report on the synthesis of a novel diiminophosphinato magnesium(I) compound that has been synthesized by a facile redox reaction using a known magnesium(I) complex. The synthetic strategy may be applicable to other ligand systems and can help expand the class of low oxidation state magnesium complexes even if reductions with Na or K are unsuccessful. The new dimeric magnesium(I) complex has been structurally characterized and undergoes a C? C coupling reaction with tert‐butylisocyanate.     

Mechanisms of antioxidant action: Synergism between a 2-hydroxybenzophenone uv stabiliser and autosynergistic antioxidants in polypropylene

Synergism between a uv stabiliser (2-hydroxy-4-octoxybenzophenone (I)) and phenolic antioxidants has been studied during the photo-oxidation of polypropylene. It has been found that hindered phenols containing benzylic sulphur (II) are more effective synergists at the same molar concentration than conventional hindered phenols and that optimum synergism occurs at high molar ratios (I/II). The autosynergistic phenols (II) are shown to protect the uv stabiliser against the effects of hydroperoxides under photo-oxidative conditions by catalytically destroying them and scavenging radicals formed from them. The ‘uv absorber’ (I) also appears to deactivate excited species formed in the photo-decomposition of oxidation products of (II).     

2-取代苯亚胺基噻唑烷类化合物的晶体结构研究

A series of 2-phenyliminothiazolidines has been successfully synthesized; and 2-(2-methylphenyl) iminothiazolidine (I a) and 2-(4-methylphenyl) iminothiazolidine (I b) have been selected to determine their crystal structures by X-ray diffraction technique,from their molecular graph of it is shown that double bond at 2-carbon atom of the heterocycle is all extro-cychc at the crystal state,and there are two main plaines in I a and I b.But in I a ,the angle between the planes is 61.4° and in I b the angle is about 41.4°.And so there is a strong conjugative effect in I b than in I a.So it is thought that the difference in fungicidal activities between 2-substitutedphenyl compounds (I a) and 4-substitutedphenyl compounds(I b) is due to their space factors.     

Solvation effects on the stability of silver(I) complexes with pyridine-containing ligands studied by thermodynamic and DFT methods

The formation of Ag(I) complexes with 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), 2,2'6',2' '-terpyridine (terpy), 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine (amp), and bis((2-pyridyl)methyl)amine (dpa) is studied in dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) by means of potentiometric and calorimetric measurements. Enthalpy-stabilized mononuclear MLj complexes are formed, whereas entropy changes counteract complex formation. Additionally, a comparison with analog Ag-polyamine species is made to evidence the significant different coordination behavior of these classes of ligands. The results are discussed in terms of different basicity and steric requirements of the ligands and solvation effects. The dpa ligand, with an unprecedented coordination pattern, forms also a bimetallic complex [Ag2(dpa)2]2+ that has been structurally characterized in the solid state by X-ray diffraction. The influence of solvent, water and dmso, on the binding energy of the monodentate pyridine to Ag(I) has also been assessed by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This study has been extended also in vacuum to the reaction of Ag(I) with the simple monoamine methylamine (mea). These results are correlated with the experimental evidence and used to interpret the different affinities of pyridine for the Ag(I) ion in the two media.     

The Oxidation of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons in the Presence of Higher Oxidation States of Silver

Abstract

The compound silver “peroxide”? has been known for some time and its preparation is described in the literature.¹ The structure of this compound has been in dispute; however it appears to have been resolved using neutron diffraction techniques. Scatturin, Bellon and Salkind² have shown that silver “peroxide” is a rather complex material in which silver is present in two different oxidation states, namely Ag(I) and Ag(III). In the crystal, Ag(III) atoms are coordinated to oxygen in a square planar array and the Ag(I) atoms are linearly coordinated. There are no peroxide oxygens. Hence the formula for silver “peroxide” is more properly written Ag(I)Ag(III)02.     

The effect of medium acidity on the rate of protonation of 6-dimethylaminofulventricarbonyl-chromium, -molybdenum, -tungsten and comparison of their basicity

Protonation of 6-dimethylaminofulvenic complexes of chromium (I), molybdenum (II) and tunsten (III) carbonyls in trifluoroacetic and acetic acid solutions of differing acidity in methylene chloride has been studied using PMR and IR spectroscopy. It has been established that the complexes are protonated at the metal atom and that the protonation rate is linearly dependent on the acidity of the medium. Comparison of the basicities of complexes I–III has shown that their basicity ratio is I/II/III ? 1/150/1800.     

Formation constants of copper(I)-olefin complexes in aqueous solution

A simple kinetic method has been applied to measure the formation constants of aqueous copper(I) with fumaronitrile, dimethyl fumarate, and fumaric and maleic acids. At 0.14 M ionic strength, the values of beta(1) are (0.85 +/- 0.02) x 10(3), (6.1 +/- 0.1) x 10(3), (7.3 +/- 0.1) x 10(3), and (2.2 +/- 0.4) x 10(3) M(-1), respectively. The values for the last two olefins are compared to previous results. Values of beta(1) for hydrogen maleate and beta(2) for fumaronitrile also have been determined. A reanalysis of much earlier work has been done, and all the results are discussed in terms of the effect of substituents on the olefin on the beta(1) values. The structure of bis(fumaronitrile)copper(I) nitrate also is reported. The nitrile is N-coordinated to copper(I), which has a distorted tetrahedral geometry, while the overall structure consists of macrocyclic Cu(6)(fumaronitrile)(6) rings which extend in three dimensions.     

Synthesis, crystal structures and reactivity of copper(I) amidate complexes with aryl halides: insight into copper(I)-catalyzed Goldberg reaction

In this paper, copper(I) amidate complexes (2-3), proposed intermediates in copper-catalyzed Goldberg reaction, have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR and X-ray crystallography. Ancillary ligand bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) has contributed greatly to the stability of the copper-amidate complexes due to its strong chelating ability and weak intermolecular interactions. Thermal gravimetric analyses are carried out to determine the thermal competency of complexes 2-3 as the intermediates of the high-temperature Goldberg reactions. Reaction of complexes 2 and 3 with aryl halides generates the N-arylation products 5-8, accompanied by the formation of a copper(I) complex Cu(dppf)X (X = I or Br) 4, which has been determined by LC-MS analysis. These results provide new evidence for the mechanism of copper(I)-catalyzed Goldberg reaction.     

Kinetic and mechanistic studies of the I(2)/O(3) photochemistry

The atmospherically relevant chemistry generated by photolysis of I2/O3 mixtures has been studied at 298 K in the pressure range from 10 to 400 hPa by using a laboratory flash photolysis setup combining atomic resonance and molecular absorption spectroscopy. The temporal behaviors of I, I(2), IO, and OIO have been retrieved. Conventional kinetic methods and numerical modeling have been applied to investigate the IO self-reaction and the secondary chemistry. A pressure independent value of k(IO + IO) = (7.6 +/- 1.1) x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule-1 s(-1) has been determined. The pressure dependence of the branching ratios for the I + OIO and IOIO product channels in the IO + IO reaction have been determined and have values of 0.45 +/- 0.10 and 0.44 +/- 0.13 at 400 hPa, respectively. The branching ratios for the 2I + O(2) and I(2) + O(2) product channels are pressure independent with values of 0.09 +/- 0.06 and 0.05 +/- 0.03, respectively. The sensitivity analysis indicates that the isomer IOIO is more thermally stable than predicted by theoretical calculations. A reaction scheme comprising OIO polymerization steps has been shown to be consistent with the temporal behaviors recorded in this study. For simplicity, the rate coefficient has been assumed to be the same for each reaction (OIO)(n) + IO --> (OIO)(n+1), n = 1, 2, 3, 4. The lower limit obtained for this rate coefficient is (1.2 +/- 0.3) x 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) at 400 hPa. Evidence for the participation of IO in the polymerization mechanism also has been found. The rate coefficient for IO attachment to OIO and to small polymers has been determined to be larger than (5 +/- 2) x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) at 400 hPa. These results provide supporting evidence for atmospheric particle formation induced by polymerization of iodine oxides.     

Synthesis of antitumoral agents from podophyllotoxin

Syntheses based on podophyllotoxin have led to the inclusion among antitumoral agents valuable in practice of the preparations etoposide(I) and teniposide(II). These compounds are, respectively, the 4,6-ethylidene and 4,6-thenylidene derivatives of 4′-dimethylepipodophyllotoxin β-D-glucopyranoside. A review has been made of methods of synthesizing (I) and (II) and for their experimental investigation. Some conclusions are given from the results of clinical trials. Although (I) and (II) have been accepted for practical use, their clinical activity is limited. The principles of the experimental selection of antitumoral agents are considered particularly. Considerations are expressed concerning the possibilities of improving the results of the search for antitumoral agents of plant origin.     

The unique liquid chromatographic properties of Group 11 transition metals for the separation of unsaturated organic compounds

Silver(I) and copper(I) are known to form reversible complexes with π bonds, which have been exploited in LC for separating unsaturated organic compounds. Prominent examples include the use of AgNO₃‐impregnated silica gel in LC, and the use of copper(I) salts for selective extraction of alkenes from hydrocarbon mixtures. The Dewar–Chatt–Duncanson model is often invoked to explain the interaction between Ag(I) and Cu(I) and π bonds. However, it is unclear if such a reversible interaction is directly related to their d¹⁰ outer electronic configurations. Particularly, Au(I) has not been reported to separate olefins with different numbers of double bonds in LC. Also, there has not been a systematic comparison of the liquid chromatographic properties of other d¹⁰ transition metal salts (e.g., Zn(II), Cd(II)), making it difficult to fully understand the observed reversible interactions of Ag(I) and Cu(I) with π bonds. We demonstrate for the first time that silica gel impregnated with all three Group 11 transition metals with 1+ oxidation state strongly and similarly retain olefin compounds in LC, while transition metals from Groups 10 and 12 do not. We also tested a range of functionalized silica gels to improve the stability of Cu(I) and Au(I) ions on the surface of the silica.     

Metallomacrocycles incorporating a hemilabile Tröger's base derived ligand

Tr?ger's base, a chiral molecule with a rigid 90 degrees backbone, has been incorporated into a novel hemilabile phosphinoalkyl thioether ligand. Using the Weak Link Approach, this ligand has been reacted with Cu(CH3CN)4PF6 and [Rh(COE)2Cl]x (COE = cyclooctene) to form metallomacrocycles. Upon reaction of the ligand with Cu(I), which prefers a tetrahedral coordination geometry, a bimetallic macrocycle was formed. Alternatively, owing to the steric restrictions imposed by the 90 degrees backbone of the ligand and the square-planar geometry of Rh(I), when the ligand was reacted with [Rh(COE)2Cl]x, the formation of bimetallic closed macrocycles was not observed, and instead a mixture of tri- and tetrametallic closed macrocycles is formed. Introducing pyridine to the Cu(I) complex causes the weak thioether-Cu bonds to break, generating a large bimetallic open macrocycle. Upon reaction of the mixture of Rh(I) metallomacrocycles with CO and Cl-, the cyclic structure of these complexes becomes flexible enough that the dimeric bimetallic macrocycle forms, along with tri- and tetrameric open complexes. The mixture of differently sized Rh(I) macrocyclic complexes has been analyzed using gel permeation chromatography, and the tetramer has been characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. These are the first examples of metallomacrocycles containing a Tr?ger's base derivative.     

Reaction entropy for the electroreduction of bis(biphenyl)chromium(I) in different solvents

The reaction entropy, ΔS_r°, for the electroreduction of bis(biphenyl)chromium(I) has been measured in eight solvents using a non-isothermal cell arrangement. A correlation between the solvent acceptor number and the ΔS_r° values has been observed. The measured reaction entropies are higher than those for ferrocene/ferricenium ion and bis(benzene)chromium(O)/bis(benzene)chromium(I) couples.
