Ab initio and semiempirical computational studies on 1‐{(2E)‐2‐[(aminocarbonothioyl)hydrazono]‐2‐(3‐mesityl‐3‐methylcyclobutyl)ethyl}‐pyrrolidine‐2,5‐dione

The molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies, and gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) ¹H‐ and ¹³C NMR chemical shift values of the title compound in the ground state have been calculated using the Hartree‐Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) methods with 6‐31G(d) basis sets, and compared with the experimental data. The calculated results show that the optimized geometries can well reproduce the crystal structural parameters and the theoretical vibrational frequencies, and ¹H‐ and ¹³C NMR chemical shift values show good agreement with experimental data. To determine conformational flexibility, the molecular energy profile of the title compound was obtained by semiempirical (AM1) calculations with respect to the selected torsion angle, which was varied from ?180° to +180° in steps of 10°. The energetic behavior of the title compound in solvent media was examined using the B3LYP method with the 6‐31G(d) basis set by applying the Onsager and the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The results obtained with these methods reveal that the PCM method provided more stable structure than Qnsager's method. By using TD‐DFT method, electronic absorption spectra of the title compound have been predicted and a good agreement with the TD‐DFT method and the experimental one is determined. The predicted nonlinear optical properties of the title compound are much greater than ones of urea. In addition, the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) analysis, NBO analysis and thermodynamic properties of the title compound were investigated using theoretical calculations. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Isolation and spectral study of 4‐methyl‐6,8‐dihydroxy‐7H‐benz[de]anthracen‐7‐one

4‐Methyl‐6,8‐dihydroxy‐7H‐benz[de]anthracen‐7‐one was isolated from the sap of Aloe by column chromatography. Its ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were completely assigned by utilizing two‐dimensional ¹H‐detected heteronuclear one‐bond (HMQC) and multiple‐bond (HMBC) chemical shift correlation experiments together with ¹H–¹H COSY and DEPT techniques. These techniques were also valuable in assigning the protons and carbons of those benzanthrone compounds which were previously incompletely reported because of the overlap of proton signals. The molecular structure was elucidated by 2D NMR analysis. The spectral properties (MS, IR and UV) are also presented. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Heterocyclic analogs of xanthiones: 5,6‐fused 3‐methyl‐1‐phenylpyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H) thiones—synthesis and NMR (1H, 13C, 15N) data

Various [5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H)‐thiones were synthesized in high yields by treatment of the corresponding [5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H)‐ones with Lawesson's reagent.

Complete and unambiguous assignment of chemical shifts (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N) and coupling constants (¹H,¹H; ¹³C,¹H) was achieved by the combined application of various one‐ and two‐dimensional (1D and 2D) NMR spectroscopic techniques. Unequivocal mapping of most ¹³C,¹H spin coupling constants is accomplished by 2D (δ, J) long‐range INEPT spectra with selective excitation. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Syntheses,Structures, Electrochemistry,and Electrocatalysis of Three Copper(II) Coordination Polymers constructed from 5‐[4‐(1H‐Imidazol‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐1H‐tetrazole

Three coordination polymers (CPs) based on the 5‐[4‐(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐1H‐tetrazole ( HL ) ligand, namely, [Cu(μ₂‐ L )(μ₄‐pbda)(H₂O)] ( 1 ), [Cu₂(μ‐Hbtc)(H₂btc)(μ₃‐OH)(μ₄‐ HL )] ( 2 ) and [Cu₅(μ₃‐ L )(μ₄‐ L )(μ₃‐ip)(μ₃‐OH)(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O ( 3 ) (H₂pbda = 1,4‐benzenedicarboxylic acid, H₃btc = 1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylic acid, H₂ip = isophthalic acid) were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 represents “weave”‐type 2D layers consisting of wave‐like 1D chains and 1D straight chains, which are further connected by hydrogen bonds to form a 3D supramolecular structure. Complex 2 exhibits a uninodal (4)‐connected 2D layer with a point symbol of {4⁴ · 6²}, in which the L ligand can be described as μ₅‐bridging and the H₂btc^– ions display multiple kinds of coordination modes to connect Cu^II ions into 1D “H”‐type Cu‐H₂btc chains. In complex 3 , 2D Cu‐ L layers with two kinds of grids and 1D “stair”‐type Cu‐ip chains link each other to construct a 3D {4¹² · 6³} framework, which contains the pentanuclear subunits. Deprotonated degree and coordination modes of carboxylate ligands may consequentially influence the coordination patterns of main ligands and the final structures of complexes 1 – 3 . Furthermore, electrochemical behaviors and electrocatalytic activities of the title complexes were analyzed at room temperature, suggesting practical applications in areas of electrocatalytic reduction toward nitrite and hydrogen dioxide in aqueous solutions, respectively.     

Two new isostructural mercury(II) complexes involving the N‐heterocyclic 1‐[(benzotriazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐1,3‐imidazole ligand: syntheses,structures and properties

The unsymmetrical N‐heterocyclic ligand 1‐[(benzotriazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐1,3‐imidazole (bmi) has three potential N‐atom donors and can act in monodentate or bridging coordination modes in the construction of complexes. In addition, the bmi ligand can adopt different coordination conformations, resulting in complexes with different structures due to the presence of the flexible methylene spacer. Two new complexes, namely bis{1‐[(benzotriazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐1,3‐imidazole‐κN ³}dibromidomercury(II), [HgBr₂(C₁₀H₉N₅)₂], and bis{1‐[(benzotriazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐1,3‐imidazole‐κN ³}diiodidomercury(II), [HgI₂(C₁₀H₉N₅)₂], have been synthesized through the self‐assembly of bmi with HgBr₂ or HgI₂. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction shows that both complexes are mononuclear structures, in which the bmi ligands coordinate to the Hg^II ions in monodentate modes. In the solid state, both complexes display three‐dimensional networks formed by a combination of hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. The IR spectra and PXRD patterns of both complexes have also been recorded.

Poly[1‐(trimethylgermyl)‐1‐propyne] and poly[1‐(trimethylsilyl)‐1‐propyne] with various geometries: Their synthesis and properties

The polymerization of 1,2‐disubstituted acetylenes [1‐(trimethylgermyl)‐1‐propyne and 1‐(trimethylsilyl)‐1‐propyne] initiated by Nb‐ and Ta‐based catalytic systems was studied within a wide temperature range (?10 to +80 °C) with solvents (cyclohexane, CCl₄, toluene, anisol, and n‐chlorobutane) with variable dielectric constants (2.023–7.390). Conditions ensuring the synthesis of poly[1‐(trimethylsilyl)‐1‐propyne] (PTMSP) containing 20–80% cis units and poly[1‐(trimethylgermyl)‐1‐propyne] (PTMGP) containing 3–65% cis units were determined. The PTMSP and PTMGP samples were amorphous, exhibited a two‐phase structure characterized by the presence of less ordered regions and regions with an enhanced level of ordering, and differed in solubility. A correlation was found between the cis/trans ratio and the morphology, the geometrical density of PTMSP and PTMGP films, and the gas permeability of the polymers. The gas permeability and solubility behavior of PTMSP and PTMGP were examined in terms of the molecular characteristics of the polymer samples (the thermodynamic Kuhn segment and the Kerr electrooptic effect). It was demonstrated that the gas permeability, as well as the solubility of the polymers, was defined by their supramolecular ordering, which depended on the lengths of continuous sequences composed of units of analogous microstructures and on the flexibility of macrochains. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Quantum chemical studies on prototautomerism of 1H‐imidazo[4,5‐c]pyridine

The structural features of the 1H‐imidazo[4,5‐c]pyridine (ICPY) tautomers and homodimers of the most stable tautomers have been studied by quantum chemical methods. FTIR and Raman spectra of the ICPY were recorded in the range of 4000–60 cm^?1 and 3500–5 cm^?1. The predominant tautomer among four possible isomers of ICPY were determined. The optimized geometries and vibrational frequencies of possible ICPY tautomers and dimers were computed by B3LYP/DFT method with 6‐311++G(d,p) and 6‐31G(d) basis sets. All vibrational frequencies assigned in detail with the help of total energy distribution (TED) and isotopic shifts. ICPY dimeric forms were also characterized according to their hydrogen bonding interactions, and it has been found that the most stable ICPY homodimer establishes moderate strong N ? H …N type hydrogen bond. ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and ¹⁵N NMR properties have been calculated for all tautomeric forms using the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A new one‐dimensional ZnII coordination polymer based on 2‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐benzimidazole and benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylate

Multidentate N‐heterocyclic compounds form a variety of metal complexes with many intriguing structures and interesting properties. The title coordination polymer, catena‐poly[zinc(II)‐bis{μ‐2‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐benzimidazole}‐κ²N³:N^3′;N^3′:N³‐zinc(II)‐bis(μ‐benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylato)‐κ²O¹:O²;κ³O¹,O^1′:O²], [Zn₂(C₈H₄O₄)₂(C₁₁H₁₀N₄)₂]_n, has been synthesized by the reaction of Zn(NO₃)₂ with 2‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐benzimidazole (imb) and benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (H₂bdic) under hydrothermal conditions. There are two crystallographically distinct imb ligands [imb(A) and imb(B)] in the structure which adopt very similar coordination geometries. The imb(A) ligand bridges two symmetry‐related Zn1 ions, yielding a binuclear [(Zn1)₂{imb(A)}₂] unit, and the imb(B) ligand bridges two symmetry‐related Zn2 ions resulting in a binuclear [(Zn2)₂{imb(B)}₂] unit. The above‐mentioned binuclear units are further connected alternately by pairs of bridging bdic²⁻ ligands, forming an infinite one‐dimensional chain. These one‐dimensional chains are further connected through N—H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to a two‐dimensional layered structure. In addition, the title polymer exhibits good fluorescence properties in the solid state at room temperature.
