New organosols of ZnS and HgS in N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. Use in the preparation of semiconductive polymer-metal sulfide composite films

Organosols of ZnS and HgS in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were prepared by reaction of Zn and Hg salts with H₂S. ZnS in the DMF organosol has a particle size of about 300 Å, determined by an argon laser scattering technique. The form of HgS in the organosols varies with temperature, concentration of HgS, and type of solvent;-HgS in a DMF organosol is converted into-HgS at –30 °C or above. Poly(acrylonitrile)-ZnS or -HgS composite films prepared from organosols are semiconductive, and the electrical conductivity of the film increases by a factor of 10²–10³ on exposure to moisture or alcohol vapour. Poly(acrylonitrile)--HgS composite films, prepared from heated-HgS, show electrical conductivity of a range of 10^–1–10^–2 S cm^–1 and a large electron mobility.     

Diaminocarbene- and Fischer-carbene complexes of palladium and nickel by oxidative insertion: preparation, structure, and catalytic activity

Oxidative insertion of [Pd(PPh3)4] or [Ni(cod)2]/PPh3 into the C-Cl bond of various 2-chloroimidazolinium- and other -amidinium salts affords metal-diaminocarbene complexes in good to excellent yields. This procedure is complementary to existing methodology in which the central metal does not change its oxidation state, and therefore allows to incorporate carbene fragments that are difficult to access otherwise. The preparation of a variety of achiral as well as enantiomerically pure, chiral metal-NHC complexes (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) and metal complexes with acyclic diaminocarbene ligands illustrates this aspect. Furthermore it is shown that oxidative insertion also paves a way to prototype Fischer carbenes of Pd(II). Since the required starting materials are readily available from urea- or thiourea derivatives, this novel approach allows for substantial structural variations of the ligand backbone. The catalytic performance of the resulting library of nickel- and palladium-carbene complexes has been evaluated by applications to prototype Suzuki-, Heck-, and Kumada-Corriu cross-coupling reactions as well as Buchwald-Hartwig aminations. It was found that even Fischer carbenes show appreciable catalytic activity. Moreover, representative examples of all types of neutral and cationic metal-carbene complexes formed in this study have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.     

Preparation and properties of uniform amorphous and crystalline colloidal nickel sulfide

 Amorphous spherical particles of nickel sulfide of 10 nm in diameter were synthesized by the controlled double-jet precipitation (CDJP) technique using nickel sulfate and sodium sulfide. Cubic crystalline particles of ∼200 nm were obtained by aging dispersions of amorphous particles at 80 °C for more than a week, as long as the pH was kept between 3 and 3.5. Electrokinetic mobilities of these particles are reported, as well as color properties of their dispersions in liquids and in poly(vinyl alcohol) films are described.

Pyrrole-appended derivatives of O-confused oxaporphyrins and their complexes with nickel(II), palladium(II), and silver(III)

Condensation of 2,4-bis(phenylhydroxymethyl)furan with pyrrole and p-toluylaldehyde formed, instead of the expected 5,20-diphenyl-10,15-di(p-tolyl)-2-oxa-21-carbaporphyrin, a pyrrole addition product [(H,pyr)OCPH]H(2); this product can formally be considered as an effect of hydrogenation of 3-(2'-pyrrolyl)-5,20-diphenyl-10,15-di(p-tolyl)-2-oxa-21-carbaporphyrin ([(pyr)OCPH]H). The new oxacarbaporphyrinoid presents the (1)H NMR spectroscopy features of an aromatic molecule, including the upfield shift of the inner H21 atom. Insertion of NiCl(2) or PdCl(2) into [(H,pyr)OCPH]H(2) gave two structurally related organometallic complexes, [(pyr)OCP]Ni(II)] and [(pyr)OCP]Pd(II)], in which the metal ions are bound by three pyrrolic nitrogens and the trigonally hybridized C21 atom of the inverted furan. The reaction of [(H,pyr)OCPH]H(2) with silver(I) acetate yields a stable Ag(III) complex [(C(2)H(5)O,pyr)OCP]Ag(III)] substituted at the C3 position by the ethoxy and pyrrole moieties. The macrocyclic frame of [(H,pyr)OCPH]H(2) is conserved. Addition of trifluoroacetic acid to [(C(2)H(5)O,pyr)OCP]Ag(III)] yielded a new aromatic complex [(pyr)OCP]Ag(III)](+). The structures of [(pyr)OCP]Ni(II)] and [(C(2)H(5)O,pyr)OCP]Ag(III)] have been determined by X-ray crystallography. In both molecules the macrocycles are only slightly distorted from planarity and the nickel(II) and silver(III) are located in the NNNC plane. The dihedral angle between the macrocyclic and appended-pyrrole planes of [(pyr)OCP]Ni(II)] reflects the biphenyl-like arrangement with the NH group pointing out toward the adjacent phenyl ring on the C5 position. Tetrahedral geometry around the C3 atom was detected for [(C(2)H(5)O,pyr)OCP]Ag(III)]. The Ni[bond]C and Ag[bond]C bond lengths are similar to other nickel(II) or silver(III) carbaporphyrinoids where the trigonal carbon atom coordinates the metal ion. The trend detected in the (13)C chemical shifts for the appended-pyrrole resonances has been rationalized by the extent of effective conjugation between the macrocycle and the appended pyrrole moiety controlled by the hybridization of the C3 atom and the metal ion oxidation state. The dianionic or trianionic macrocyclic core of the pyrrole-appended derivatives is favored to match the oxidation state of nickel(II), palladium(II), or silver(III), respectively.

A hitherto unknown metastable hydrate Cd(ClO₄)₂ · 4H₂O with a phase transition at 30.9°C (20–30.9°C,a = 3669.5,b = 11.343 and 30.9–63.7°C,a=3058.6,b = 9.339) has been detected.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Unusual formation of single-crystal manganese sulfide microboxes co-mediated by the cubic crystal structure and shape

Kept cubic: MnS microboxes, which act as an anode material for lithium ion batteries, are synthesized by a simple H(2)S gas sulfidation approach (TEM images show porous and hollow microcubes and a microbox). The formation of the single crystals is aided by the intrinsic cubic crystal structure and the nearly cubic shape of the MnCO(3) precursor.

Accurate redox potentials of mononuclear iron, manganese, and nickel model complexes*

Density functional theory (DFT) was combined with solution of the Poisson equation for continuum dielectric media to compute accurate redox potentials for several mononuclear transition metal complexes (TMCs) involving iron, manganese, and nickel. Progress was achieved by altering the B3LYP DFT functional (B4(XQ3)LYP-approach) and supplementing it with an empirical correction term G(X) having three additional adjustable parameters, which is applied after the quantum-chemical DFT computations. This method was used to compute 58 redox potentials of 48 different TMCs involving different pairs of redox states solvated in both protic and aprotic solvents. For the 58 redox potentials the root mean square deviation (RMSD) from experimental values is 65 mV. The reliability of the present approach is also supported by the observation that the energetic order of the spin multiplicities of the electronic ground states is fulfilled for all studied TMCs, if the influence from the solvent is considered as well.

Coordination of zwitterionic 8-quinolinol (oxine) to mixed oxinate-carboxylate complexes of divalent nickel,manganese, and magnesium

Three types of metal complexes containing coordinated zwitterionic 8-Quinolinol(oxine) are isolated from the reaction ofMOx ₂ (M=divalent Ni, Mn, or Mg; HO _x =oxine) and haloacetic acidsRCO₂H (R=CF₃, CCl₃, CHCl₂, or CH₂Cl) in benzene. These types are:M(O₂CR)Ox·HOx forM=Ni,R=CCl₃, CHCl₂, and CH₂Cl and forM=Mn,R=CHCl₂.MOx(HOx) (RCO₂)MOx·nH₂O forM=Ni, Mn, or Mg,R=CF₃ andn=1,1, and 4, respectively.MO _x (HOx) (RCO₂)₂ MOx forM=Mn andR=CCl₃. These types are compared with the simple mixed chelateMn(O₂CCH₂Cl)Ox. Interrelated reactions are suggested to explain the formation of these metal complexes and the contributing factors are discussed. The coordination of the zwitterion to the metal ion through its phenolate oxygen and the presence of the triatomic system⁺N–H...O in the three types of metal complexes are evidenced by typical infrared bands. Analytical and spectral data are in accordance with the suggested formulations.

New palladium (II) complexes containing phosphine‐nitrogen ligands and their use as catalysts in aminocarbonylation reaction

Aminocarbonylation of aryl halides, homogeneously catalysed by palladium, is an efficient method that can be employed for obtaining amides for pharmaceutical and synthetic applications. In this work, palladium (II) complexes containing P^N ligands were studied as catalysts in the aminocarbonylation of iodobenzene in the presence of diethylamine. Two types of systems were used: a palladium (II) complex formed in situ; and one prepared prior to the catalytic reaction. In general, the palladium complexes studied achieved high conversions in an average reaction time of less than 2 hr, which is less than that for the standard system (Pd (II)/PPh₃) used. The pre‐synthesized complexes were faster than their in situ counterparts, as the latter require an induction time to form the Pd/P^N species. The structure and electronic properties of the ligand P^N can influence both the activity and the selectivity of the reaction, stabilizing the acyl‐palladium intermediates formed in a better manner.     

X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopic chemical state quantification of mixed nickel metal,oxide and hydroxide systems

Quantitative chemical state X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of mixed nickel metal, oxide, hydroxide and oxyhydroxide systems is challenging due to the complexity of the Ni 2p peak shapes resulting from multiplet splitting, shake‐up and plasmon loss structures. Quantification of mixed nickel chemical states and the qualitative determination of low concentrations of Ni(III) species are demonstrated via an approach based on standard spectra from quality reference samples (Ni, NiO, Ni(OH)₂, NiOOH), subtraction of these spectra, and data analysis that integrates information from the Ni 2p spectrum and the O 1s spectra. Quantification of a commercial nickel powder and a thin nickel oxide film grown at 1‐Torr O₂ and 300 °C for 20 min is demonstrated. The effect of uncertain relative sensitivity factors (e.g. Ni 2.67 ± 0.54) is discussed, as is the depth of measurement for thin film analysis based on calculated inelastic mean free paths.

Chromium,manganese, and zinc complexes of deoxyalliin and their bioactivity

Chromium, manganese, and zinc complexes of deoxyalliin were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectral studies, electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, conductivity, and magnetic moment measurements. The complexes are proposed to have octahedral geometry, are water soluble, and exhibit antifungal activity against Collectotrichum falcatum, a fungus which causes red rot disease in sugarcane.     

Synthesis,characterization, and anticancer activity of some azole‐heterocyclic complexes with gold(III), palladium(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) metal ions

Four new complexes of Au(III), Pd(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) ions were synthesized, derived from a novel heterocyclic ligand (L) that has both triazole and tetrazole rings. The ligand synthesis was through successive steps to achieve both heterocyclic rings. The synthesized compounds were characterized using conventional techniques like infrared, ultra violet—visible and proton/carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, metal and thermal analyses, and molar conductivity. All complexes were suggested to have square planar geometry, gold, nickel, and palladium complexes were salts while copper neutral complexes have the chemical formulas; [AuL₂]Cl.2H₂O, [PdL₂]Cl₂.2H₂O, [NiL₂]Cl₂.2H₂O, and [CuL₂]. The cytotoxic effect was studied on breast cancer cell line (MCF‐7 cell line) at different concentrations by using the 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay method, for the ligand (L) and complexes. The results showed that gold(III) and nickel(II) complexes have the highest cytotoxicity among all compounds against cancer cell lines.     

Preparation of palladium complexes of 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)propane derivatives and their use in norbornene polymerization

A variety of neutral palladium(II) complexes [Pd(L–L)Cl₂] containing 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)propane (1), 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-pentylpropane (2), 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-phenylpropane (3a), 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-tolylpropane (4), and 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-ferrocenylpropane (5) as chelate ligands (L–L) have been synthesized. The crystal structures of 1,3-diphenyl-2,4-di-pyridin-2-yl-butan-1-ol (3b), 5, [(2)PdCl₂], [(4)PdCl₂], and [(5)PdCl₂] have been determined and show a square planar geometry at palladium(II). The neutral complexes were tested in the polymerization of norbornene and copolymerization of norbornene with norbornene derivatives. The complex bearing the pentyl group exhibited high reactivity to give up to 5.9×10⁵ in molecular weight for the homopolymerization. When [(4)PdCl₂] or [(5)PdCl₂] was used as a catalyst, homopolymers insoluble at 150 °C in trichlorobenzene were obtained. However, copolymerization of norbornene with norbornene derivatives 8a–d catalyzed by [(4)PdCl₂] gave soluble copolymers with molecular weights up to 5.1×10⁵.     

Kinetic photometric determination of metal ions,based on competitive oxidation and complexation equilibria

Kinetic methods for determination of Co(II), Ni(II) and Pd(II) have been developed. The reaction rate methods are based on the competitive equilibria of oxidation and complexation between benzyl 2-pyridyl ketone 2-pyridylhydrazone, bromate and the three metal ions. The influence of the stoichiometry and stability constant of the complexes on the sensitivity of the methods is evaluated. The methods established have limits of detection at the µg/ml level and relative standard deviations of 3–7%. The effect of several foreign ions is discussed. Application of the methods to synthetic mixtures is also described.     

Thermodynamic possibilities and constraints of pure hydrogen production by a chromium,nickel, and manganese-based chemical looping process at lower temperatures

The reduction of chromium, nickel, and manganese oxides by hydrogen, CO, CH₄, and model syngas (mixtures of CO + H₂ or H₂ + CO + CO₂) and oxidation by water vapor has been studied from the thermodynamic and chemical equilibrium point of view. Attention was concentrated not only on the convenient conditions for reduction of the relevant oxides to metals or lower oxides at temperatures in the range 400–1000 K, but also on the possible formation of soot, carbides, and carbonates as precursors for the carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide formation in the steam oxidation step. Reduction of very stable Cr₂O₃ to metallic Cr by hydrogen or CO at temperatures of 400–1000 K is thermodynamically excluded. Reduction of nickel oxide (NiO) and manganese oxide (Mn₃O₄) by hydrogen or CO at such temperatures is feasible. The oxidation of MnO and Ni by steam and simultaneous production of hydrogen at temperatures between 400 and 1000 K is a difficult step from the thermodynamics viewpoint. Assuming the Ni—NiO system, the formation of nickel aluminum spinel could be used to increase the equilibrium hydrogen yield, thus, enabling the hydrogen production via looping redox process. The equilibrium hydrogen yield under the conditions of steam oxidation of the Ni—NiO system is, however, substantially lower than that for the Fe—Fe₃O₄ system. The system comprising nickel ferrite seems to be unsuitable for cyclic redox processes. Under strongly reducing conditions, at high CO concentrations/partial pressures, formation of nickel carbide (Ni₃C) is thermodynamically favored. Pressurized conditions during the reduction step with CO/CO₂ containing gases enhance the formation of soot and carbon-containing compounds such as carbides and/or carbonates.     

Development of an amphiphilic resin‐dispersion of nanopalladium and nanoplatinum catalysts: Design,preparation, and their use in green organic transformations

An amphiphilic polymer resin‐dispersion of nanoparticles of palladium was designed and prepared with a view toward use for catalysis in water. The amphiphilic polystyrene‐poly(ethylene glycol) (PS‐PEG) resin‐dispersion of nanoparticles of palladium exhibited high catalytic performance in the hydrodechlorination of chloroarenes under aqueous conditions. The amphiphilic resin‐supported nanopalladium and nanoplatinum particles also catalyzed aerobic oxidation of various alcohols including nonactivated aliphatic and alicyclic alcohols, which is one of the most fundamental and important yet immature processes in organic chemistry, in water under an atmospheric pressure of oxygen gas to form aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids to meet green chemical requirements. Viologen polymer‐supported nanopalladium catalyst realized α‐alkylation of ketones with primary alcohols as the alkylating agents. © 2009 The Japan Chemical Journal Forum and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
