Nuclear magnetic resonance of Zn(II) complexes with 2,2′-bipyridine

The complexes Zn(bipy)Cl₂ and Zn(bipy)₂Cl₂ as well as 2,2′-bipyridyl in aqueous solution (D₂O) have been examined by the NMR method. The presence of the monocationic bipy D⁺ form in aqueous bipyridyl solution has been found. The changes of chemical shifts of bipyridyl protons for complexes Zn(bipy)₃Cl₂ and Zn(bipy)Cl₂ have confirmed explicitly the essential influence of diamagnetic currents on the NMR spectrum of Zn(bipy)₃Cl₂. The comparison of the spectra of 2,2′-bipyridyl (in CH₃OH) and of Zn(bipy)Cl₂ may also suggest the presence of the nonbonding metal-proton 6 interaction.     

Luminescent properties of carbon-rich starburst gold(I) acetylide complexes. Crystal structure of [TEE][Au(PCy3)]4 ([TEE]H4=tetraethynylethene)

Two carbon-rich starburst gold(I) acetylide complexes [TEE][Au(PCy₃)]₄ (3, [TEE]H₄=tetraethynylethene) and [TEB][Au(PCy₃)]₃ (6, [TEB]H₃=1,3,5-triethynylbenzene) were prepared and their UV–vis absorption, emission and excitation spectra have been recorded. In fluid CH₂Cl₂ solutions, 3 exhibits prompt ¹(ππ*) fluorescence with λ_0–0 and λ_max at 413 and 428 nm, respectively, while 6 displays ³(ππ*) phosphorescence with λ_0–0 and λ_max at 446 and 479 nm, respectively. The crystal structure of 3·CH₂Cl₂ has been determined.     

Interaction of antitumor drug Sn(CH3)2Cl2 with DNA and RNA

Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ exerts its antitumor activity in a specific way. Unlike anticancer cis-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂ drug which binds strongly to the nitrogen atoms of DNA bases, Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ shows no major affinity towards base binding. Thus, the mechanism of action by which tinorganometallic compounds exert antitumor activity would be different from that of the cisplatin drug. The aim of this study was to examine the binding of Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ with calf thymus DNA and yeast RNA in aqueous solutions at pH 7.1–6.6 with constant concentrations of DNA and RNA and various molar ratios of Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂/DNA (phosphate) and Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂/RNA of 1/40, 1/20, 1/10, 1/5. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV–visible difference spectroscopic methods were used to determine the Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ binding mode, binding constant, sequence selectivity and structural variations of Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂/DNA and Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂/RNA complexes in aqueous solution. Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ hydrolyzes in water to give Sn(CH₃)₂(OH)₂ and [Sn(CH₃)₂(OH)(H₂O)_n]⁺ species. Spectroscopic evidence showed that interaction occurred mainly through (CH₃)₂Sn(IV) hydroxide and polynucleotide backbone phosphate group with overall binding constant of K(Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂–DNA)=1.47×10⁵ M⁻¹ and K(Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂–RNA)=7.33×10⁵ M⁻¹. Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₂ induced no biopolymer conformational changes with DNA remaining in the B-family structure and RNA in A-conformation upon drug complexation.     

硫代多联吡啶铂(Ⅱ)配合物的合成、性质及在光催化制氢中的应用

合成了2个新配体4-(4-硫代乙酸)甲苯基-6-苯基-2,2'-联吡啶HC^N^N(PhCH₂SCOCH₃)(L3)和6-(4-硫代乙酸)甲苯基-2,2'-联吡啶 HC^N^N (CH₂SCOCH₃)(L5)及其发光的铂(Ⅱ)配合物ClPtC^N^N(PhCH₂SCOCH₃)(C3)和ClPtC^N^N(CH₂SCOCH₃)(C5). 通过¹H NMR谱和质谱对它们的结构进行了表征, 采用X射线单晶衍射分析确定了C3的晶体结构. 利用紫外-可见吸收光谱、 发射光谱及激发态寿命测定研究了它们的光物理性质和电化学性质, 以及配合物作为光敏剂在光催化制氢中的应用. 通过系列配合物产氢效率的比较, 揭示了它们的产氢效率和激发态寿命的关系.     

Chemie polyfunktioneller moleküle : LXXXVII. Synthese und reaktionsverhalten von 4-methyl-1,2,6-tristiba-tricyclo[2.2.1.0]heptan (Sb3-nortricyclan) gegenüber chrom-, molybdän- und wolframhexacarbonyl

The reaction of CH₃C(CH₂Cl)₃ and NaSb(C₆H₅)₂ in liquid ammonia leads to Sb₂(C₆H₅)₄ (I). Using CH₃C(CH₂Br)₃ instead of CH₃C(CH₂Cl)₃ results in the formation of I and CH₃C[CH₂Sb(C₆H₅)₂]₃ (II). Treatment of II with gaseous HCl in dry CH₂Cl₂ yields CH₃C(CH₂SbCl₂)₃ (III) under elimination of benzene. The reduction of III with Na in THF gives the first all-cis-organocyclotristibane (Sb₃-nortricyclane) CH₃C(CH₂Sb)₃ (IV) which forms the new CH₃C(CH₂Sb)₃M(CO)₅ complexes (Va---Vc) with M(CO)₅THF (M = Cr, Mo, W).     

Intervalence electron transfer through a thiolate bridge ligand: a Fe–S–R–Fe mixed valence complex

The reaction of Cp(dppe)FeI with the ligands 2,2′- and 4,4′-dithiobispyridine (S₂(Py)₂) give the mononuclear or binuclear complexes of the type [Cp(dppe)Fe-S₂(Py)₂]PF₆, [Cp(dppe)Fe---SPy]PF₆ or [{Cp(dppe)Fe}₂-μ-SPy](PF₆)₂ depending on the reaction condition. Reaction of Cp(dppe)FeI with dithiobispyridines in presence of TlPF₆ as halide abstractor and using CH₂Cl₂ as a solvent gives the complexes [Cp(dppe)Fe-4,4′-S₂(Py)₂)₂]PF₆ (1) and [CpFe(dppe)-2,2′-S₂(Py)₂]PF₆ (2) whereas the same reaction using CH₃OH as a solvent and NH₄PF₆ as the halide abstractor leads to the formation of the Fe^III–thiolate complex [Cp(dppe)Fe-2,2′-SPy]PF₆ (3) and the mixed-valence complex [Cp(dppe)Fe^III-μSPy-Fe^II(dppe)Cp](PF₆)₂ (4). Magnetic and ESR measurements are in agreement with one unpaired electron delocalized between them. Mössbauer data indicate clearly the presence of two different iron sites, each one of the N-bonded and S-bonded iron atoms, with intermediate oxidation state Fe^II---Fe^III. An electron transfer intervalence absorption was observed for this complex at 780 nm (in CH₂Cl₂). By applying the Hush theory the intervalence parameters were obtained; =0.028, H_ab=361 cm⁻¹ which indicate Class II Robin–Day. Estimation of the rate electron transfer affords a value k_th=6.5×10⁶ s⁻¹. Solvent effect on the intervalence transition follow the Hush prediction for high dielectric constants solvents which permit the evaluation of the outer and inner-sphere reorganizational parameters, which were analyzed and discussed. The electronic interaction parameters compare well with those found for electron transfer in metalloproteins.     

Multiple ligand transfer reaction between [CpRu(L)(AN)2][PF6] (L=AN, CO, P(OMe)3; AN=acetonitrile) and CpFe(CO)L′X (L′=CO, PMe3, PMe2Ph, PMePh2, PPh3, P(OPh)3; X=Cl, Br, I)

Treatment of ruthenium complexes [CpRu(AN)₃][PF₆] (1a) (AN=acetonitrile) with iron complexes CpFe(CO)₂X (2a–2c) (X=Cl, Br, I) and CpFe(CO)L′X (6a–6g) (L′=PMe₃, PMe₂Ph, PMePh₂, PPh₃, P(OPh)₃; X=Cl, Br, I) in refluxing CH₂Cl₂ for 3 h results in a triple ligand transfer reaction from iron to ruthenium to give stable ruthenium complexes CpRu(CO)₂X (3a–3c) (X=Cl, Br, I) and CpRu(CO)L′X (7a–7g) (L′=PMe₃, PMe₂Ph, PMePh₂, PPh₃, P(OPh)₃; X=Br, I), respectively. Similar reaction of [CpRu(L)(AN)₂][PF₆] (1b: L=CO, 1c: P(OMe)₃) causes double ligand transfer to yield complexes 3a–3c and 7a–7h. Halide on iron, CO on iron or ruthenium, and two acetonitrile ligands on ruthenium are essential for the present ligand transfer reaction. The dinuclear ruthenium complex 11a [CpRu(CO)(μ-I)]₂ was isolated from the reaction of 1a with 6a at 0°C. Complex 11a slowly decomposes in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature to give 3a, and transforms into 7a by the reaction with PMe₃.     

Theoretical investigations of the substituent effect on the absorption and emission properties for a series of platinum (II) complexes supported by tetradentate N2O2 chelates

The photophysical properties, which vary as R is varied, of a series of [Pt(N₂O₂)] complexes bearing bis(phenoxy)bipyridine auxiliaries with different substituents R=H (Pt-H) (1), 4,4′-2NH₂ (Pt-NH₂) (2), 4,4′-2tBu (Pt-tBu) (3), 4,4′-2CN (Pt-CN) (4), and 4,4′-2NO₂ (Pt-NO₂) (5) are investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The solvent effects are discussed in CH₂Cl₂, CH₃CN and CH₃OH solutions, respectively, by polarizable continuum model (PCM). It is anticipated that compared with σ-donor substituents, π-acceptors have more dramatic effects on the electronic and optical properties in this series of complexes. Introduction of π-electron withdrawing substituents on bipyridine ligand will benefit the LLCT (or MLCT) and prohibit the non-radiative pathways via d–d transitions by increasing the energy gap between the HOMO–LUMO and d–d transitions. The results also reveal that the lowest-energy excitations of all complexes show blue-shifts in the polarized solution and when the polarity of the solvent increases from CH₂Cl₂, CH₃CN and CH₃OH, the low-energy broad absorption band exhibit blue-shifts. The lowest-energy excitations and photoluminescence of all complexes are dominated by π(phenoxy)→π^*(bpy/NO₂) (LLCT) excited state mixed with some energetically dπ (Pt)→π^*(bpy/NO₂) (MLCT) transition.     

Excess volumes for binary liquid mixtures of methylethylketone with methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene and cyclohexane at various temperatures

Dilatometric measurements of excess volumes V^E have been made for binary liquid mixtures of methylethylketone with methylene chloride (CH₂Cl₂), 1,2-dichloroethane (CH₂ClCH₂Cl) and tetrachloroethylene (CCl₂CCl₂) at 293.15 and 303.15 K, for mixtures of methylethylketone with trichloroethylene (CHClCCl₂) at 298.15 and 308.15 K, and for mixtures of methylethylketone with cyclohexane (c-C₆H₁₂) at 303.15 K. The values of V^E have been found to be highly positive for methylethylketone + c-C₆H₁₂, slightly positive for methylethylketone + CH₂Cl₂ and methylethylketone + CCl₂CCl₂, and slightly negative for methylethylketone + CHClCCl₂ and methylethylketone + CH₂ClCH₂Cl. The results indicate the existence of specific interactions of methylethylketone with CH₂Cl₂, CH₂ClCH₂Cl, CHClCCl₂ and CCl₂CCl₂.

Metal---metal bond formation promoted by steric effects: The structural chemistry of μ-dichlorobis(di-t-butyl-p-tolylphosphine)tetracarbonyldiruthenium(I)

The bulky teratiary phosphines P-t-Bu₂Ph and P-t-Bu₂-p-tol, provide binuclear ruthenium(I) complexes. An X-ray analysis of [Ru₂Cl₂(CO)₄(P-t-Bu₂-p-tol)₂] shows the RuCl₂Ru bridge to be non-planar and to have an Ru---Ru distance of 2.632Å.     

Synthesis and characterisation of new 2-bromovinyl selenides and their platinum group metal complexes

The synthesis of the 2-bromocyclooctenyl selenides, C₈H₁₂(Br)SeR (3a: R = Me; 3b: R = Et; 3c: R = CH₂Ph), and the 2-bromocyclohexenyl selenides, C₆H₈(Br)SeR (4a: R = Me; 4b: R = Et; 4c: R = CH₂Ph), is described. Compounds 3a–e and 4a, b react with K₂PtCl₄ to yield square planar platinum (II) complexes of the form trans-PtL₂Cl₂ (5a: L = 3a; 5b: L = 3b; 5c: L = 3c; 6a: L = 4a; 6b: L = 4b). The analogous palladium(II) complex trans-PdL₂Cl₂ (7c: L = 4c) has been prepared from Pd(C₆H₅CN)₂Cl₂. All new compounds have been characterised by NMR, infrared and mass spectroscope and microanalysts. Complexes 5a–c, 6a, b and 7c exist as a racemic mixture of two diastereoisomers related by inversion at selenium. NMR spectroscope shows that interconversion between these two isomers is slow for 5a–e, but faster for 6a, b and 7c.     

Inverse phase transfer catalysis: kinetics of the pyridine-1-oxide-catalyzed two-phase reactions of methyl-, methoxy-, iodo-, and nitro-benzoyl chlorides and benzoate ions

The substitution reactions of XC₆H₄COCl [X=2-, 3-, or 4-CH₃; 2-, 3-, or 4-CH₃O; 2-, or 4-I; or 2-, 3-, or 4-NO₂] and YC₆H₄COONa [Y=2-, 3-, or 4-CH₃; 2-, 3-, or 4-CH₃O; 2-I; 4-NO₂; or H] in a two-phase H₂O/CH₂Cl₂ medium using pyridine-1-oxide (PNO) as an inverse phase transfer catalyst were investigated. In general, the kinetics of the reaction follows a pseudo-first-order rate law, with the observed rate constant being a linear function of the concentration of PNO in the water phase. In contrast to other analogous reactions, the hydrolysis reaction of 2-, 3-, or 4-NO₂C₆H₄COCl in H₂O/CH₂Cl₂ medium is catalyzed considerably by PNO and reaches an equilibrium. In the PNO-catalyzed reaction of XC₆H₄COCl and XC₆H₄COONa in H₂O/CH₂Cl₂ medium, the order of reactivities of XC₆H₄COCl toward reaction with PNO in CH₂Cl₂ is 2-IC₆H₄COCl>4-IC₆H₄COCl>(C₆H₅COCl,3-CH₃OC₆H₄COCl)>3-CH₃C₆H₄COCl>(2-CH₃C₆H₄COCl,4-CH₃C₆H₄COCl)>4-CH₃OC₆H₄COCl>2-CH₃OC₆H₄COCl. Combined with the results of other analogous reactions, good Hammett correlations with positive reaction constant were obtained for the meta- and para-substituents, which supports that the XC₆H₄COCl–PNO reaction in CH₂Cl₂ is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.     

Influence of the solvent and of the counteranion on the structure of silyl cations stabilized by a terdentate aryldiamine ligand

Solution NMR studies of silyl cations [ArSiMe₂]⁺X⁻ (X = I, CF₃SO₃) incorporating the terdentate aryl diamine ligand Ar - C₆H₃₋ 2,6-(CH₂NMe₂)₂ have been carried out in a protic solvent (methanol-d₄) and in an aprotic solvent (CD₂Cl₂). This study has shown that the structure of these silyl cations is highly dependent on the solvent. In CD₂Cl₂, the silyl cation is five-coordinated owing to the coordination of one NMe₂ group and of the anion to the silicon centre which gives rise to a dissymmetric structure. On the other hand, in CD₃OD there is no coordination of the anion, but the silyl cation is also probably five-coordinated due to the coordination of the solvent to the silicon atom which is supported by the X-ray analysis of the compound 9. With the weakly nucleophilic anion BPh₄⁻ in CD₂Cl₂, in addition to the silyl cation previously described, another five-coordinated silyl cation resulting from the coordination of both NMe₂ groups to the Si centre was postulated.

An answer to the spiro versus ANSA dilemma in cyclophosphazenes : Part IX. The first genuine ANSA derivatives from N3P3Cl6 itself

The reaction of the simplest Lehn's ligand, H₂N---(CH₂)₂---O---(CH₂)₂---NH₂, on N₃P₃Cl₆ in suitable stoichiometric conditions leads quite neatly to the first genuine MONOANSA and DIANSA derivatives.     

Synthesis, structure and characterization of M---Sn (M=Mo, W) bonded heterobimetallic complexes containing bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands

The reaction of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane tetracarbonylmolybdenum(0) or tungsten(0) complexes with RSnCl₃ (R=Ph, Cl) at room temperature yielded heterobimetallic complexes CH₂(Pz)₂M(CO)₃(Cl)(SnCl₂R) (Pz represents substituted pyrazole; M=Mo or W; R=Ph or Cl) in good yields, which have been characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The reaction of bis(3,5-dimethyl-4-halopyrazol-1-yl)methane tetracarbonyl tungsten with PhSnCl₃ did not take place even in refluxing CH₂Cl₂. The electronic and steric characteristics of substituents on the pyrazole ring remarkably influence the structures of the products. The structures of CH₂(3,5-Me₂-4-BrPz)₂W(CO)₃(Cl)(SnCl₃) (8) and CH₂(4-BrPz)₂Mo(CO)₃(μ-Cl)(SnCl₂Ph) (17) (Pz: pyrazole) determined by X-ray crystallography show that no chlorine-bridged W---Sn bond is observed in complex 8, while one chlorine-bridged Mo---Sn bond exists in complex 17. The Sn---M bond length is 2.7438(5) Å in complex 8 (W---Sn) and 2.7559(4) Å in complex 17 (Mo---Sn).     

Preparation, properties, and reactions of metal-containing heterocycles: Part CV. Synthesis and structure of polyoxadiphosphaplatinaferrocenophanes

A series of novel heterobimetallic crown ether-like polyoxadiphosphaplatinaferrocenophanes cis-[1,1′-Fc(CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂]PtCl₂ (n=1–3) (4a–c) was synthesized in good yield by cyclization of the bis(phosphine) ligands 1,1′-Fc(CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂ (n=1–3) (3a–c) and (PhCN)₂PtCl₂ under high dilution conditions in CH₂Cl₂. The bisphosphines 3a–c are obtained by reaction of the corresponding diols 1,1′-Fc(CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₂CH₂OH)₂ (n=1–3) (1a–c) with: (i) CH₃SO₂Cl in CH₂Cl₂ and (ii) LiPPh₂ in THF. Although the X-ray crystal structure of 4a shows that the cavity is large enough for the encapsulation of small metal cations, inclusion experiments of 4a–c with Group 1 cations, and Mg²⁺, or NH₄⁺ in solution applying NMR titration and cyclovoltammetric methods reveal no evidence for the formation of host–guest complexes for 4a,b. In the case of 4c only the addition of Na⁺ or K⁺ leads to an insignificant effect.     

Ab initio molecular orbital study of Fe2Cl6 and FeAlCl6

Ab initio molecular orbital theory was used to determine the equilibrium structure and vibrational frequencies of Fe₂Cl₆ and FeAlCl₆. The equilibrium structure the Fe₂Cl₆ dimer has D_2h symmetry with a planar arrangement of the four membered {FeCl_brFeCl_br} ring, similar to the Al₂Cl₆ dimer. The calculated bond distances and vibrational frequencies are in good agreement with experiment. The potential energy surface for the puckering of the {FeCl_brFeCl_br} ring is extremely flat. This prevents an unambiguous assignment of either D_2h or C_2v symmetry to the Fe₂Cl₆ structure in electron diffraction measurements. The FeAlCl₆ molecule is found to have a C_2v structure similar to Fe₂Cl₆ with vibrational frequencies in good agreement with experiment.
