New synthetic pathways into dithiazolyl radicals: Preparation and characterisation of 3′-methyl-benzo-1,3,2-dithiazolyl, M’BDTA

A general three-step synthesis to a range of benzo-fused-1,3,2-dithiazolylium salts bearing both electron-withdrawing (CN) and electron-donating (Me) groups is described. This methodology has also been extended to pyridyl derivatives and offers a potential route to a diversity of 1,3,2-dithiazolylium rings and their corresponding 1,3,2-dithiazolyl free radicals. The key steps in the reaction are treatment of a substituted 1,2,-dichlorobenzene with two equivalents of [^tBuS]Na, followed by chlorination to yield the corresponding bis(sulfenyl chloride). Subsequent ring closure with Me₃SiN₃ yields the target 1,3,2-dithiazolylium ring system in good yield. The preparation and crystal structures of 3′-methyl-benzo-1,3,2-dithiazolylium chloride and 3′-methyl-benzo-1,3,2-dithiazolyl are described and the electronic properties of the radical examined through EPR spectroscopy, DFT calculations and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements.     

Chiral “P-N-P” ligands, (C20H12O2)PN(R)PY2 [R = CHMe2, Y = C6H5, OC6H5, OC6H4-4-Me, OC6H4-4-OMe or OC6H4-4-Bu] and their allyl palladium complexes

Chiral “P-N-P” ligands, (C₂₀H₁₂O₂)PN(R)PY₂ [R = CHMe₂, Y = C₆H₅ (1), OC₆H₅ (2), OC₆H₄-4-Me (3), OC₆H₄-4-OMe (4) or OC₆H₄-4-^tBu (5)] bearing the axially chiral 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-dioxy moiety have been synthesised. Palladium allyl chemistry of two of these chiral ligands (1 and 2) has been investigated. The structures of isomeric η³-allyl palladium complexes, (R′ = Me or Ph; Y = C₆H₅ or OC₆H₅) have been elucidated by high field two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The solid state structure of [Pd(η³-1,3-Ph₂-C₃H₃){κ²-(racemic)-(C₂₀H₁₂O₂)PN(CHMe₂)PPh₂}](PF₆) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Preliminary investigations show that the diphosphazanes, 1 and 2 function as efficient auxiliary ligands for catalytic allylic alkylation but give rise to only moderate levels of enantiomeric excess.

Spin transitions in a dithiazolyl radical: preparation, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of 3-cyanobenzo-1,3,2-dithiazolyl, C7H3S2N2

The incorporation of the electronegative cyano group into the structure of the title dithiazolyl radical 1 induces a lamellar packing motif that favors spin-transition behavior. Variable-temperature magnetic studies on 1 reveal a reversible phase transition at 250 K between a diamagnetic low-temperature phase and a paramagnetic high-temperature phase. X-ray crystal structures at 180(2) and 300(2) K reveal that both phases crystallize in the space group P2(1)/c, with the phase transition associated with a doubling of the crystallographic a axis. The concomitant change in magnetic properties is associated with a change from a paramagnetic regular pi stack of radicals and a diamagnetic distorted pi stack in which an energy gap opens up at the Fermi level corresponding to a Peierls-like transition.     

β-Mo_2C和Ni_3Mo_3N/β-Mo_2C的制备及其甲烷化反应性能研究

通过焙烧钼酸铵和六次甲基四胺(HMT)生成的络合物,制备β-Mo_2C。在此基础上加入Ni助剂制备了Ni_3Mo_3N/β-Mo_2C双金属碳化物催化剂。采用XRD、SEM、HRTEM、低温氮吸附、元素分析等方法对催化剂进行了表征,考察了其合成气甲烷化反应性能。结果表明,β-Mo_2C有较高的CO转化率,但CO转化率和CH_4选择性分别从第10h的75.93%和36.79%降低到了第100h的67.41%和33.54%。因此,β-Mo_2C活性不够稳定且CH_4选择性较低。而Ni助剂的加入显著提高了催化剂的甲烷化活性及稳定性,使CO转化率和CH_4选择性分别从第10h的83.15%和46.64%升高到了第100h的92.51%和57.23%。这是因为Ni助剂的加入有助于生成Ni_3Mo_3N,新生成的Ni_3Mo_3N有利于甲烷化反应。     

Gallium tri-chloride derivatives of the sterically demanding pyridines 2,6-Ar2C6H3N (Ar = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 or 2,4,6-Pr3C6H2)

The sterically demanding pyridines 2,6-Ar₂C₆H₃N [Ar = 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂ (1) or 2,4,6-Prⁱ₃C₆H₂ (2)] were prepared by a palladium catalysed Kumada C–C coupling reaction in high yield. Pyridine 1 reacted with one equivalent of GaCl₃ to afford the tetra-chloro gallate–pyridinium ion pair complex [GaCl₄]⁻[2,6-(2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂)₂C₆H₃NH]⁺ (3). Contrastingly, pyridine 2 reacted with one equivalent of GaCl₃ to afford the anticipated donor-acceptor complex [GaCl₃{2,6-(2,4,6-Prⁱ₃C₆H₂)₂C₆H₃N}] (4). Complexes 1–4 have been characterised variously by single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, CHN, and mass spectrometry.     

A localized molecular orbital study on the bonding of> Mo3S4]2Mo> and> Mo3S4]CuI> versus (C6H6)2Cr and C6H6Cr(CO)3

The energy-localized CNDO/2 molecular orbitais have been calculated for the clusters containing molybdenum, > {Mo₃S₄₂Mo}⁸⁺ and> Mo₃S₄]CuI> ⁴⁺, versus the prototype arene-metal sandwich (C₆H₆)₂Cr and half-sandwich complexes C₆H₆Cr(CO)₃. The bonding characteristics of these compounds are described from a localization bonding viewpoint. There are two typical M-arene and M-[Mo₃S₄] bondings. One is formed by electron donation from the three-center two-electron π-bonds in the arene or [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ ligands into the vacant hybrid orbitais of the “stranger” metal atom. In the other M-arene or M-[Mo₃S₄] bond there is very little donation by the lone electron pair occupying the d AOs of the “stranger” metal atom to the arene or [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ ligands. The analogy of the ligand [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ in the clusters studied with the ligand benzene is also briefly discussed.     

Synthesis, characterization and comparison of group 14 pyrrolides and indolides Ph3MX (M = Si, Ge, Sn; X = C4H4N, C8H6N)

The biologically important heterocycles pyrrole, C₄H₄N, and indole, C₈H₆N, ought to be useful as reagents in organic synthesis. Unfortunately, working with them has proved to be difficult because they tend to self-polymerize in solution, especially in the presence of acid catalysts. When the self-polymerization can be controlled, however, the pyrrole and indole units should provide an important route to selective N-metal binding, particularly when these ligands are activated by alkyl-lithium reagents. Using this approach, a general synthesis of the group 14 pyrrolides and indolides, Ph₃MX (M = Si, Ge, Sn; X = C₄H₄N, C₈H₆N), has been developed and the results are reported here. The compounds are formed as high-melting, white crystalline solids and have been characterized by ¹³C-, ²⁹Si- and ¹¹⁹Sn-NMR, Raman and electron-impact mass spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis. A single-crystal X-ray study of Ph₃Si(C₄H₄N) has shown that the compound is disordered in the tetragonal lattice, even at low temperature (100 K).

Regioselective monobromination of (E)-1-(2′-hydroxy-4′,6′-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-aryl-2-propen-1-ones using bromodimethylsulfonium bromide and synthesis of 8-bromoflavones and 7-bromoaurones

A wide variety of monobrominated compounds 2a-l have been prepared in good yields from (E)-1-(2′-hydroxy-4′,6′-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-aryl-2-propen-1-ones (1a-l) through regioselective ring bromination using 1.5 equiv of bromodimethylsulfonium bromide (BDMS) at room temperature. Similarly, some of the 2′-hydroxychalcones can be converted directly into tribromides 3 or dibromides 4 by employing 4.0 equiv of BDMS under different reaction conditions which in turn can be transformed into 8-bromoflavones and 7-bromoaurones on treatment with 0.2 M ethanolic KOH solution. Mild reaction conditions, good yields and no chromatographic separation are some of the salient features of the present protocol.

Stabilization of Mo6S8 by halogens; new superconducting compounds: Mo6S6Br2, Mo6S6I2

We present a study of the properties of the series Mo₆X_8?xY_x (X = S, Se, Te; Y = Br, I) having the hexagonal rhombohedral structure of the PbMo₆S₈ type. For X = S we have found two new superconducting compounds Mo₆S₆Br₂ and Mo₆S₆I₂, having critical temperatures of 13.8 and 14.0°K, respectively. We further find that Mo₆Te₈ becomes superconducting (T_c ≈ 2.6°K) upon substitution of Te by small quantities of iodine, and that in the case of Mo₆Se₈ substitution of a Se atom by a halogen, raises T_c up to about 7.6°K.     

Singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces of C3H2

The detailed singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces of C₃H₂ involving nine isomers and 13 transition structures are studied at the G3 level of theory. The rearrangement mechanisms and the electronic properties of various isomers in a broad energy range have been studied in both singlet and triplet states. Cyclopropenylidene and propargylene are found to be the most stable isomers in the singlet and triplet states, respectively. The singlet isomers are found to be more kinetically stable species as a result of high conversion barriers through which they pass. The calculations indicate that cyclopropyne in its triplet state is the least kinetically stable isomer. It is realized that the G3 method comprises both computational cost and accuracy and thus can be applied to investigation of potential energy surface of small molecules.     

Synthesis and structure of ansa-cyclopentadienyl pyrrolyl titanium complexes: [(η-C5H4)CH2(2-C4H3N)]Ti(NMe2)2 and [1,3-{CH2(2-C4H3N)}2(η-C5H3)]Ti(NMe2)

Reaction of ansa-cyclopentadienyl pyrrolyl ligand (C₅H₅)CH₂(2-C₄H₃NH) (2) with Ti(NMe₂)₄ affords bis(dimethylamido)titanium complex [(η⁵-C₅H₄)CH₂(2-C₄H₃N)]Ti(NMe₂)₂ (3) via amine elimination. A cyclopentadiene ligand with two pendant pyrrolyl arms, a mixture of 1,3- and 1,4-{CH₂(2-C₄H₃NH)}₂C₅H₄ (4), undergoes an analogous reaction with Ti(NMe₂)₄ to give [1,3-{CH₂(2-C₄H₃N)}₂(η⁵-C₅H₃)]Ti(NMe₂) (5). Molecular structures of 3 and 5 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

Y2O3包覆LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2的电化学性能

通过在硝酸钇水溶液浸渍并焙烧的简单工艺, 在LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2材料表面包覆了一层Y2O3. 采用X射线衍射(XRD), 扫描电子显微镜(SEM), 透射电子显微镜(TEM), 循环伏安(CV)和恒流充放电对包覆和未包覆的LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2进行了测试分析. 结果表明, Y2O3包覆并没有改变LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2的晶体结构, 只存在于LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2的表面; 与未包覆的材料相比, Y2O3包覆后的材料在高电位下具有更好的容量保持率和放电容量. CV测试表明, 包覆层的存在有效抑制了材料层状结构的转变及电极与电解液的负反应.
