Solvent-free cyclopalladation on silica gel

Tertiary, secondary and primary benzylamines, as well as structurally different oxazolines readily reacted with Pd(OAc)₂ on silica gel to form cyclopalladated complexes containing a five or six-membered palladacycle with a (sp²)C-Pd or (sp³)C-Pd bond. The complexes were obtained in 45-98% yield, which is comparable with or exceeds the yields reported for preparation of the same compounds in solution. Aliphatic (sp³)C-H bond activation took place in the cyclopalladation of (S)-2-tert-butyl-4-phenyl-2-oxazoline on SiO₂ leading to the exclusive formation of the corresponding endo palladacycle, whereas two products were reported for the same reaction performed in AcOH.     

Synthesis and characterization of Pd(II) complexes of 2‐ and 3‐thiophenecarbaldehyde immobilized on silica obtained from sepiolite

Silica obtained by acid treatment of sepiolite was used as a support for catalysts consisting of palladium complexes of 2‐ and 3‐thiophenecarbaldehyde. The support and the catalysts were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, and solid‐state ²⁹Si and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. The supported palladium catalysts were used in the Suzuki reaction of bromobenzene with phenylboronic acid. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adsorption of Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes on a silica gel surface chemically modified with 2-mercaptoimidazole

The isotherms of adsorption of MeX₂ (Me = Cu²⁺, Co²⁺; X = Cl^–, Br^–, ClO ₄ ^– ) by silica gel chemically modified with 2-mercaptoimidazole (SiMI) were studied in acetone and ethanol solutions, at 25 °C. Covalently attached 2-mercaptoimidazole molecule to silica gel surface adsorbs MeX₂ from solvent by forming a surface complex. The metal is bonded to the surface through the nitrogen atom of attached 2-mercaptoimidazole. At low loading, the electronic and ESR spectral parameters indicated that the Cu²⁺ complexes are in a distorted-tetragonal symmetry field. The d-d electronic transition spectra showed that for Cu(ClO₄)₂ complex, the peak of absorption did not change for any degree of metal loading and for Cl^– and Br^– complexes, the peak maxima shifted to higher energy with lower metal loading. The CoX₂(X = Cl^–, Br^–, ClO ₄ ^– ) analogues possess a distorted-tetrahedral field.     

Determination of Fe(II), Cu(II) and Ag(I) by using silica gel loaded with 1,10-phenanthroline

The modified silica gel with 1,10-phenanthroline adsorbed was obtained. The adsorption from aqueous solutions onto loaded silica gel of Fe(II), Cu(II) and Ag(I) and their complexes was studied. The loaded silica gel was applied to Fe(II), Cu(II) and Ag(I) reflectance spectroscopy determinations in water (detection limits 0.08, 0.03 and 0.01 ppm respectively). Visual test scales for Fe, Cu and Ag ion determinations in water were worked out.     

Pentacyanoferrates(II) on the surface of organomodified silica gel: The matrix effect

Pentacyanoferrate(II) absorbed on a silica gel surface previously modified with 3-aminopropyl and 3-imidazolylpropyl groups were characterized by¹³C MAS/NMR, FT-IR, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. FT-IR and¹³C MAS/NMR data indicated that the pentacyanoferrate(II) complex is bonded to the surface by the nitrogen atom of the functional group. The differences in the isomeric shifts, the quandrupole splittings and the midpoint potentials of the adsorbed complexes in comparison with the model complexes were attributed to the matrix polar effect—i.e., the interaction of the complex with polar groups on the silica surface.

Abstract

The formation of two complexes by reaction of [PdCl₄]^2- with 1,2,3-triphenylguanidine (PhNH)₂C=NPh under different metal/ligand ratios has been observed and the structure of the complex [(1,2,3-triphenylguanidine)₂PdCl₂] has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The ligands are coordinated as neutral monodentate molecules to the metal centre through their imine nitrogen atoms. The second Pd(II) complex is [Pd(1,2,3-triphenylguanidine)₄]²⁺ and was isolated by precipitation with ClO^? ₄.

Study of silica gel and copper silicate gel solubilities in high performance liquid chromatography

Summary After summarizing published results on silica gel and alkyl-bonded silica gel solubilities, the experimental solubility of unmodified silica and copper silicate gel (used in ligand exchange chromatography) in watermethanol-ammonia and water-acetonitrile-ammonia mixtures are given. These results demonstrate that silica gel solubility, measured by a static method, varies greatly with the water volume fraction of a ternary mixture. Curiously, no influence from the organic nature of the solvent was demonstrated. This observation is inconsistent with the fact that the copper silicate gel used in ligand-exchange chromatography with water-methanol-ammonia as mobile phase is attacked more rapidly than with water-acetonitrile-ammonia.An explanation based upon the variations of acid-base properties of silicic acid versus mobile phase dielectric constant values in conjunction with the methanol protophilic properties is proposed. Finally, it is shown that chromatographic columns filled with copper silicate gel have lifetimes of several months, if they are used with a procolumn (of copper silicate gel) and with acetonitrile as organic solvent with a volume fraction greater than 0.5 in the mobile phase.     

X-ray crystal structures of novel platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes of dialkyl phosphonated phosphines

Two diethyl phosphonated phosphine ligands of formula Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PO₃Et₂ (ligand L) and Ph₂P(4-C₆H₄PO₃Et₂) (ligand L′) were used to prepare different complexes of platinum(II) (1, cis-PtCl₂L₂; 2, trans-PtCl₂L₂·H₂O; 3A and 3B, cis- and trans-PtCl₂L′₂) and palladium(II) (4, [PdCl₂L]₂; 5, trans-PdCl₂L₂·H₂O; 6, trans-PdCl₂L′₂·CH₂Cl₂). The single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of complexes 1, 2, 4-6 indicate that complexation involved only the phosphine end, whereas the strong polarization of the PO bond was highlighted by the formation of hydrogen bonds with a water molecule in 2 and 5, and with a dichloromethane molecule in 6, with an exceptionally short CH?O hydrogen bond length (C?O separation 3.094(3) Å).     

Six-membered ring chelate complexes of Pd(II) and Pt(II) derived from di-(2-pyridyl)pyrimidin-2-ylsulfanylmethane

Cis-[MLCl₂] complexes of di-(2-pyridyl)pyrimidin-2-ylsulfanylmethane ligand (L), where M = Pd (1), and M = Pt (2) have been synthesized. Reaction of 1 with L in presence of Na[BF₄] and hot acetonitrile produced the complex [PdL₂](BF₄)₂ (3). Complexes 1-3 and ligand L have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR and NMR spectroscopy. Crystal structures of 1, 3 and L were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, showing nonplanar structures with the pyridinic rings twisted around the bridging carbon and the ipso carbon bonds. 1 and 3 displayed a bidentate coordination of L to the palladium atom with the formation of six-membered chelate rings, where the local geometry at palladium atom was distorted square planar. In 3 the palladium atom was coordinated to two dipyridyl ligands through two of the pyridinic nitrogen atoms to form a cationic complex stabilized by two tetrafluoroborate counter-ions.     

Salen impregnated silica gel as a new sorbent for on-line preconcentration of cadmium(II)

A new sorbent – salen impregnated silica gel – was prepared and characterised for application as a minicolumn packing for flow-injection on-line preconcentration of cadmium(II). The system was coupled with flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FI-FAAS). The optimal pH for Cd(II) sorption was in the range of 7.4–8.8 and nitric acid (1%, v/v) was efficient as eluent. Sorption was most effective within the sample flow rate up to 7?mL?min^?1. Sorption capacity of the sorbent found in a batch procedure was 26.3?µmol?g^?1 (2.95?mg?g^?1). Enrichment factor (EF) and limit of detection (LOD) obtained for 120-second loading time were 113 and 0.26?µg?L^?1, respectively. The sorbent stability in the working conditions was proved for at least 100 preconcentration cycles. The evaluated method was applied to Cd(II) determination in various water samples.     

1-Methyl-4-ferrocenylmethyl-3,5-diphenylpyrazole: A versatile ligand for palladium(II) and platinum(II)

The syntheses and characterization of two novel ferrocene derivatives containing 3,5-diphenylpyrazole units of general formula [1-R-3,5-Ph₂-(C₃N₂)-CH₂-Fc] {Fc = (η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄) and R = H (2) or Me (3)} together with a study of their reactivity with palladium(II) and platinum(II) salts or complexes under different experimental conditions is described. These studies have allowed us to isolate and characterize trans-[Pd{1-Me-3,5-Ph₂-(C₃N₂)-CH₂-Fc]}₂Cl₂] (4a) and three different types of heterodimetallic complexes: cis-[M{1-Me-3,5-Ph₂-(C₃N₂)-CH₂-Fc]}Cl₂(dmso)] {M = Pd (5a) or Pt (5b)}, the cyclometallated products [M{κ²-C,N-[3-(C₆H₄)-1-Me-5-Ph-(C₃N₂)]-CH₂-Fc}Cl(L)] with L = PPh₃ and M = Pd (6a) or Pt (6b) or L = dmso and M = Pt (8b) and the trans-isomer of [Pt{1-Me-3,5-Ph₂-(C₃N₂)-CH₂-Fc]}Cl₂(dmso)] (7b). In compounds 4a, 5a, 5b and 7b, the ligand behaves as a neutral N-donor group; while in 6a, 6b and 8b it acts as a bidentate [C(sp²,phenyl),N(pyrazole)]⁻ group. A comparative study of the spectroscopic properties of the compounds, based on NMR, IR and UV-Visible experiments, is also reported.     

Synthesis,characterization and cytotoxicity of Pt(II), Pd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 4’‐substituted terpyridine

Eight novel Pt(II), Pd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 4’‐substituted terpyridine were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV, IR, NMR, electron paramagnetic resonance, high‐resolution mass spectrometry and molar conductivity measurements. The cytotoxicity of these complexes against HL‐60, BGC‐823, KB and Bel‐7402 cell lines was evaluated by MTT assay. All the complexes displayed cytotoxicity with low IC₅₀ values (<20 μm ) and showed selectivity. Complexes 3 , 5 , 7 and 8 exerted 9‐, 5‐, 12‐ and 7‐fold higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin against Bel‐7402 cell line. The cytotoxicity of complexes 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 and 8 was higher than that of cisplatin against BGC‐823 cell line. Complexes 3 , 7 and 8 showed similar cytotoxicity to cisplatin against KB cell line. Complex 7 exhibited higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin against HL‐60 cell line. Among these complexes, complex 7 demonstrated the highest in vitro cytotoxicity, with IC₅₀ values of 1.62, 3.59, 2.28 and 0.63 μm against HL‐60, BGC‐823, Bel‐7402 and KB cells lines, respectively. The results suggest that the cytotoxicity of these complexes is related to the nature of the terminal group of the ligand, the metal center and the leaving groups.

Kinetics and mechanism of the substitution reactions of some monofunctional Pd(II) complexes with different nitrogen-donor heterocycles

Substitution reactions of five monofunctional Pd(II) complexes, [Pd(terpy)Cl]⁺ (terpy = 2,2′;6′,2″-terpyridine), [Pd(bpma)Cl]⁺ (bpma = bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), [Pd(dien)Cl]⁺ (dien = diethylenetriamine or 1,5-diamino-3-azapentane), [Pd(Me₄dien)Cl]⁺ (Me₄dien = 1,1,7,7-tetramethyldiethylenetriamine), and [Pd(Et₄dien)Cl]⁺ (Et₄dien = 1,1,7,7-tetraethyldiethylenetriamine), with unsaturated N-heterocycles such as 3-amino-4-iodo-pyrazole (pzI), 5-amino-4-bromo-3-methyl-pyrazole (pzBr), 1,2,4-triazole, pyrazole, pyrazine, and imidazole were investigated in aqueous 0.10 M NaClO₄ in the presence of 10 mM NaCl using variable-temperature stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The second-order rate constants k₂ indicate that the reactivity of the Pd(II) complexes decrease in the order [Pd(terpy)Cl]⁺ > [Pd(bpma)Cl]⁺ > [Pd(dien)Cl]⁺ > [Pd(Me₄dien)Cl]⁺ > [Pd(Et₄dien)Cl]⁺. The most reactive nucleophile of the heterocycles is pyrazine, while the slowest reactivity is with pyrazole. Activation parameters were determined for all reactions and negative entropies of activation, ΔS^≠, supporting an associative mode of substitution. The reactions between [Pd(bpma)Cl]⁺ and 1,2,4-triazole, pzI, and pzBr were also investigated by ¹H NMR to define the manner of coordination. These results could be useful for better explanation of structure-reactivity relationships of Pd(II) complexes as well as for the prediction of potential targets of Pd(II) complexes toward common N-heterocycles, constituents of biomolecules and different N-bonding pharmaceutical agents.     

W(II)-catalyzed hydroarylation of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene by simple arenes

The tungsten(II) carbonyl compound (CO)₄W(μ-Cl)₃W(SnCl₃)(CO)₃ has been found to be a very effective catalyst for the hydroarylation of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (norbornene) conducted in arene solution at room temperature. Norbornene adducts with benzene, toluene, para-xylene, and mesitylene have been isolated and their structures have been unambiguously established by means of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. On the basis of ¹H NMR monitoring of several catalytic reactions, a possible mechanism involving coordination of norbornene to the W(II) atom and its activation has been proposed.     

Silica gel surface modified with sulfanilamide for selective solid-phase extraction of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II)

A new chelating matrix has been prepared by immobilising sulfanilamide (SA) on silica gel (SG) surface modified with 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane as a sorbent for the solid-phase extraction (SPE) Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II). The determination of metal ions in aqueous solutions was carried out by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Experimental conditions for effective sorption of trace levels of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) were optimised with respect to different experimental parameters using the batch and column procedures. The presence of common coexisting ions does not affect the sorption capacities. The maximum sorption capacity of the sorbent at optimum conditions was found to be 34.91, 19.07 and 23.62 mg g^?1 for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II), respectively. The detection limit of the method defined by IUPAC was found to be 1.60, 0.50 and 0.61 µg L^?1 for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II), respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the method under optimum conditions was 4.0% (n = 8). The method was applied to the recovery of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) from the certified reference material (GBW 08301, river sediment) and to the simultaneous determination of these cations in different water samples with satisfactory results.     

Efficient palladium(II)-catalyzed homocoupling of thiazole-4-carboxylic or oxazole-4-carboxylic derivatives

An efficient Pd(OAc)₂-catalyzed homocoupling of thiazole-4-carboxylic or oxazole-4-carboxylic derivatives is described. It represents a facile and practical methodology to prepare bis-5,5′-thiazole (oxazole)-4,4′-dicarboxylic derivatives in good to excellent yields. This protocol tolerates a series of substitutions on the thiazole (oxazole) rings, including alkyl, carbonyl, and electron-withdrawing/donating group substituted phenyl groups.     

Selective solid-phase extraction of nickel(II) using a surface-imprinted silica gel sorbent

A new Ni(II)-imprinted amino-functionalized silica gel sorbent with excellent selectivity for nickel(II) was prepared by an easy one-step reaction by combining a surface imprinting technique for selective solid-phase extraction (SPE) of trace Ni(II) in water samples prior to its determination by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Compared with non-imprinted polymer particles, the ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) had higher selectivity and adsorption capacity for Ni(II). The maximum static adsorption capacity of the ion-imprinted and non-imprinted sorbent for Ni(II) was 12.61 and 4.25 mg g⁻¹, respectively. The relatively selective factor (α_r) values of Ni(II)/Cu(II), Ni(II)/Co(II), Ni(II)/Zn(II) and Ni(II)/Pd(II) were 45.99, 32.83, 43.79 and 28.36, which were greater than 1. The distribution ratio (D) values of Ni(II)-imprinted polymers for Ni(II) were greatly larger than that for Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Pd(II). The detection limit (3σ) was 0.16 ng mL⁻¹. The relative standard deviation of the method was 1.48% for eight replicate determinations. The method was validated by analyzing two certified reference materials (GBW 08618 and GBW 08402), the results obtained is in good agreement with standard values. The developed method was also successfully applied to the determination of trace nickel in plants and water samples with satisfactory results.
