Structure Determination of the Products from the Acid-Catalyzed Condensation of Indole with Acetone

Four of the previously reported compounds obtained from the acid-catalyzed condensation of indole with acetone are now assigned the following structures: cis-4,4a,9,9a-tetrahydro-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-4,4-dimethyl-3H-carbazole (2a), 1,1',4,4'-tetrahydro-1,1,1',1'-tetramethyl-3,3'(2H,2'H)-spirobi[cyclopent[b]indole] (4), 4,4a-dihydro-2-(3-1H-indolyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3H-carbazol-4a-ol (7), and 5-(2-aminophenyl)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,1,4,4-tetramethylcyclopent[kl]acridine (8). The structure of the novel rearrangement product 8 was solved by an X-ray crystal structure determination. The two previously reported autoxidation products of 4 are now assigned the following structures: 1,3',4,4'-tetrahydro-1,1,4',4'-tetramethyl-cis-dispiro[cyclopent[b]indole-3(2H),2'(5'H)-furan-5',3"-[3H]-indol]-2"(1"H)-one (5) and 1,4-dihydro-1,1,5',5'-tetramethylspiro[cyclopent[b]indole-3(2H),3'(4'H)-1-benzazocine]-2'(1'H),6'(5'H)-dione (6).     

Ligand influences of the structures of molybdenum oxide networks

The influence of organonitrogen ligands on the network structure of molybdenum oxides was examined by preparing three new molybdenum oxide phases [MoO3(4,4'-bpy)0.5] (MOXI-8), [HxMoO3(4,4'-bpy)0.5] (MOXI-9), and [MoO3(triazole)0.5] (MOXI-32). The structure of [MoO3(4,4'-bpy)0.5) consists of layers of corner-sharing MoO5N octahedra, buttressed by bridging 4,4'-bipyridyl ligands into a three-dimensional covalently bonded organic-inorganic composite material. Partial reduction of [MoO3(4,4'-bpy)0.5] yields the mixed-valence material [HxMoO3(4,4'-bpy)0.5] (x approximately 0.5). The most apparent structural change upon reduction is found in the Mo-ligand bond lengths of the MoO5N octahedra, which exhibit the usual (2 + 2 + 2) pattern in [MoO3(4,4'-bpy)0.5] and a more regular (5 + 1) pattern in [HxMoO3(4,4'-bpy)0.5]. Substitution of triazole for 4,4'-bipyridine yields [MoO3(triazole)0.5], which retains the layer motif of corner-sharing MoO5N octahedra but with distinct sinusoidal ruffling in contrast to planar layers of [MoO3(4,4'-bpy)0.5] and [HxMoO3(4,4'-bpy)0.5]. The folding reflects the ligand constraints imposed by the triazole ligand that bridges adjacent Mo sites within a layer.

Syntheses and characterizations of palladium-based molecular triangle/square compounds and hybrid composites with polyoxometalates

Syntheses and characterizations of a Pd-based molecular triangle and square and hybrid composites with polyoxometalates are examined. The equilibrium between the Pd-based molecular triangle [(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]3(NO3)6 and square [(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]4(NO3)8 largely depends on the solvents, and both compounds have successfully been isolated: [(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]3(NO3)6.3.5DMSO, monoclinic Cc (No. 9), a = 19.8210(2) A, b = 34.3667(5) A, c = 27.5484(4) A, beta = 89.9420(10) degrees , V = 18765.5(4) A3; [(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]4(NO3)8, monoclinic C2/c (No. 15), a = 45.6921(16) A, b = 8.7721(8) A, c = 36.719(3) A, beta = 126.509(2) degrees , V = 11829.4(14) A3. The reactions of the Pd-based molecular triangle/square with [W6O19]2-, [W10O32]4-, and [alpha-SiW12O40]4- form [[(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]4[ supersetW6O19]][W6O19]3, [[(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]4[ supersetW6O19]](NO3)6, [[(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]4[ supersetW10O32]][W10O32], [(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]4[W10O32]2, and [(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]4[alpha-SiW12O40]2. The molecular square does not encapsulate the largest [alpha-SiW12O40]4-, but it does encapsulate [W6O19]2- and [W10O32]4-. The isolation of [W6O19]2- and [alpha-SiW12O40]4- from the mixture by use of the molecular square is possible by utilizing the quite different solubility of [[(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]4[ supersetW6O19]](NO3)6 and [(en*)Pd(4,4'-bpy)]4[alpha-SiW12O40]2 formed in DMSO. The size-selective encapsulation property of supramolecules may open the new way to rationalize isolation methods of the useful polyoxometalates.     

New 13-vertex metallacarborane sandwich compounds; synthetic and structural studies

Reduction of 1,12-closo-C2B10H12 followed by reaction with the appropriate metal halide and metathesis with either [K(18-crown-6)]Br or [BTMA]Cl ([BTMA] = [C6H5CH2N(CH3)3]+) affords isolable salts of the supraicosahedral metallacarborane sandwich anions [4,4-M-(1,10-closo-C2B10H12)2]n- in moderate to good yield. Compounds prepared are [BTMA][4,4-Co-(1,10-closo-C2B10H12)2] ( 1), [K(18-crown-6)][4,4-Co-(1,10-closo-C2B10H12)2] ( 2), [K(18-crown-6)]2[4,4-Ni-(1,10-closo-C2B10H12)2] ( 3), [K(18-crown-6)]2[4,4-Fe-(1,10-closo-C2B10H12)2] ( 4), [BTMA]2[4,4-Fe-(1,10-closo-C2B10H12)2] ( 5) and [K(18-crown-6)]2[4,4-Ti-(1,10-closo-C2B10H12)2] ( 6). Oxidation of the iron(II) species 4 and 5 with FeCl3 in THF generates the iron(III) analogues [K(18-crown-6)][4,4-Fe-(1,10-closo-C2B10H12)2] ( 7) and [BTMA][4,4-Fe-(1,10-closo-C2B10H12)2] ( 8), respectively. All diamagnetic compounds were characterised spectroscopically and the structures of 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. All anions have the anticipated cluster structures with two docosahedral 13-vertex cages joined at the central metal atom (the common degree-six vertex 4). Carbon atoms occupy the degree-four vertex 1 and the degree-five vertex 10. 11B NMR spectroscopy suggests the anions have, on the NMR timescale, C2h symmetry in solution at room temperature, consistent with free rotation, or at least substantial libration, of cage units about the long molecular axis. In the solid state the relative conformations of the two cages may be rationalised by simple bonding arguments, the single exception being the conformation of 4, in which both cages are subject to directional B-H...K+ interactions to the [K(18-crown-6)]+ counterion. The salts 3, 6 and 7 also show B-H...K+ interactions but involving one cage only.     

Syntheses, structures, and properties of five coordination polymers containing fluorescent whitener

Fluorescent whitener (4,4'-bis(2-sulfonatostiryl)biphenyl) was incorporated with M/4,4'-bipy (M=Cd, Co; 4,4'-bipy=4,4'-bipyridine) 2D frameworks, Mn/4,4'-bipyH fragment, and the [Zn2(Im)2(ImH)4]2+ (ImH=imidazole) chain under hydrothermal conditions to obtain seven new coordination polymers: [Cd(4,4'-bipy)(L)(H2O)2] (1), [Co(4,4'-bipy)2(L)].2H2O (2), [Co(4,4'-bipy)2(H2O)2](4,4'-bipy)(L).2H2O (3), [Mn(4,4'-bipyH)2(L)2(H2O)2].4H2O (4), and [Zn2(Im)2(ImH)4](L) (5). Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In 1, binuclear [Cd2] units are bridged by 4,4'-bipys into a 2D cationic framework, which is further penetrated by L anions. 2 has an organic-inorganic hybrid layer consisting of [Co(4,4'-bipy)2] squarelike motifs and L anions. 3 features a pcu-like 3D cationic framework with the inclusion of L anions. In 4, the [Mn(4,4'-bipyH)2(H2O)2]4+ cationic fragment is sandwiched by L anions into a sandwichlike hybrid layer. 5 exhibits a 3D honeycomb-like structure with each nanotube encapsulating two parallel L anionic chains. TGA and PXRD indicate solids 1, 4, and 5 are thermally stable up to 280, 200, and 250 degrees C under an air atmosphere, respectively. 1 has bright blue-green luminescence with a peak maximum band at about 470 nm. 4 exhibits tunable emission between dark-red and weak-green under the excitation of 500 and 280 nm, respectively. 5 displays a bright blue-green emission with a peak band at 454 nm and a shoulder peak at 473 nm. It is attractive that the luminescent properties of solids 1, 4, and 5 are almost retained after heat treatment at 200, 200, and 250 degrees C for 2 h under an air atmosphere, respectively.     

Synthesis of glutarimide antibiotics and their analogs through 1,3-cycloaddition of 3-glutarimidylacetonitrile oxide to 2-cyclohexenones

A mixture of 4,4-dimethyl-9-(3-methylglutarlmidyl)-2-oxo-7-oxa-8-azabicyclo[4.3.0] non-8-ene and 3-(3-methylglutarimidyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenz-[d]isoxazole was obtained by in situ 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 3-glutarimidyl-acetonitrile oxide to 5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one. Reductive cleavage of these compounds by catalytic hydrogenation over Pd catalysts gives 3-[2-amino-2,2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxocyclohexylene)ethyl]glutarimide and the known 3-[2-amino-2,2-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohexylene)ethyl]glutarimide, respectively, in quantitative yield. Hydrolysis of the latter leads to 3-[2-oxo-2-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclo-hexyl)ethyl]glutarimide. The ketones obtained are analogs of glutarimide antibiotics and polyfunctional intermediates in their synthesis.See [1] for a preliminary communication.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 230–234, February, 1979.     

Sulfone-linked paracyclophanes via macrocyclic aromatic thioethers: synthetic and structural investigations

Reaction of 4,4'-sulfonylbis(benzenethiol) with 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylsulfone under pseudo-high-dilution conditions leads to macrocyclic thioethersulfones [-S-Ar-SO2-Ar-]n (Ar = 1,4-phenylene). These include a highly strained [1+1] cyclodimer (n = 2), a cyclotrimer resulting from thioetherexchange reactions, and a [2+2] cyclotetramer which can adopt two entirely different conformations in the crystalline state, one having molecular D2d ("tennis-ball-seam") symmetry. The same type of reaction is successful using 4,4'-thiobis(benzenethiol) instead of 4,4'-sulfonylbis(benzenethiol) and affords macrocycles with a higher ratio of thioether to sulfone linkages. Exhaustive oxidation of macrocyclic thioethersulfones with hydrogen peroxide affords a series of sulfone-linked paracyclophanes, [-Ar-SO2-]4, [-Ar-SO2-]6, [-Ar-SO2-]8 and [-Ar-SO2-]12. Single crystal X-ray analysis reveals [Ar-SO2-]4 to be a near-perfect square box, whilst the cyclic hexamer [-Ar-SO2-]6 adopts a much more irregular conformation. and [-Ar-SO2-]8 displays a "double-box" structure clearly related to that of [Ar-SO2-]4.     

New alternating ferro- and antiferromagnetic one-dimensional complexes. Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure, and magnetic properties of

The preparation, X-ray crystal structure, and magnetic properties of alternating 1,1- and 1,3-azido-bridged copper(II) complex [Cu(4,4'-dmbpy)(N3)2]n (1, 4,4'-dmbpy = 4,4'-dimethylbipyridine) have been reported.

Alternating antiferromagnetic (-J = 191.0 cm(-1)) interaction through a 1,3-N3- bridge and ferromagnetic (J = 297.1 cm(-1)) interaction through a 1,1-N3- bridge are obtained for 1 by analyzing the magnetic susceptibility data with the Hamiltonian H = -Jsigma(S2iS2i-1--alphaS2iS2i+1). It's derivatives ([Mn(4,4'-dmbpy)(N3)2]n (2), [Ni(4,4'-dmbpy)(N3)2]n (3), and [Fe(4,4'-dmbpy)(N3)2]n (4) and the heterometallic derivatives [NiMn(4,4'-dmbpy)2(N3)4]n (5) and [CuMn(4,4'-dmbpy)2(N3)4]n (6) have also been synthesized and characterized by electronic and IR spectra. The X-ray powder diffraction and the magnetic properties of 6 have also been discussed.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Three Novel Zn~Ⅱ-sulfonyldibenzoilate Coordination Polymers

Three coordination polymers based on the V-shaped 4,4＇-dicarboxybiphenyl sulfone （H2sdba） ligands, [Zn3（μ-OH）2（sdba）2]n·2nH2O 1, [Zn2（sdba）2（4,4＇-bipy）]n·2nH2O 2 and [Zn3（sdba）3（py）2]n·n（py）·nH2O 3 （4,4＇-bipy = 4,4＇-bipydine）, were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 features the 2D planes constructed by the sdba ligands linking infinite Zn-O-C SBUs. The 4,4＇-bipy ligands in 2 bridge the Zn^II-sdba chains into interpenetrated 2D planes. The 3D network of α-Po topology in 3 is built from tri-nuclear Zn3 units with a [Zn3（OOC）6] structure. The intense blue and yellow luminescence was observed in complexes 1～3 which may result from ligand-to-metal charge transfer （LMCT）.     

Reactions of Methyl Esters of 1-(α-Bromoisobutyryl)cyclohexanecarboxylic or 3-(1-Bromocyclohexyl)-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxopropanoic Acids with Zinc and Arylglyoxal
