Mössbauer study of the after-effects of the converted isomeric transition in 119mSn in frozen solutions of SnCl2 and in solid adducts of SnCl2 and SnBr4 with organic donor molecules

As an after-effect of the converted isomeric transition in ^119mSn, about 30% yield of the oxidised aliovalent species Sn⁴⁺ was observed in Mössbauer spectra of frozen solutions of ^119mSnCl₂ in organic solvents such as dimethyl sulphoxide and methanol. On the other hand, the reduced aliovalent species Sn²⁺ was observed in the emission spectra of crystalline solid adducts of ^119mSnBr₄ with dimethyl sulphoxide and other donors. As a mechanism for the stabilization of the oxidized aliovalent species observed in the emission spectra of the frozen solutions, it is proposed that the electrons released by Auger processes are trapped in imperfections of the glassy matrices of the medium. On the other hand, a possible mechanism for the formation of reduced species from adducts of ^119mSnBr₄ is that reducing radicals are formed by dissociative electron capture in autoradiolysis of the closest ligands within the molecules. The large yields of the oxidized aliovalent species Sn⁴⁺ observed in the emission spectra of the crystalline solid adducts of ^119mSnCl₂ with dimethyl sulphoxide, pyridine N-oxide, and pycoline N-oxides are also to be understood in terms of dissociative electron capture in autoradiolysis of the ligand.     

Copper(II) complexes of 2-(pyrrolidinomethyl)- and 2-(3-pyrrolinomethyl)pyridine N-oxides

Summary This title pyridine N-oxides have been prepared and their copper(II) complexes isolated as perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate and nitrate salts. The ligands coordinatevia both the pyridine N-oxide oxygen and the amine nitrogen to give bis(ligand) complexes for the perchlorate and tetrafluoroborate salts. The nitrate solids have [CuL(NO₃)₂] stoichiometry with monodentate nitrato-ligands. The spectral properties of these complexes are compared to those of N-alkyl-and N,N-dialkyl2-picolinamine N-oxides as well as other 2-substituted pyridine N-oxides.NATO Fellow on leave from Istanbul Medical Faculty, Istanbul University.     

Polarographic study of Sn(IV) chloride-pyridine N-oxide complexes in acetonitrile

Polarograms recorded of Sn(IV) chloride in acetonitrile in the presence of controlled quantities of each of nine substituted pyridine N-oxide ligands demonstrated the formation of stable and soluble complexes with a stoichiometry dependent upon the nature and position of the ring substituent. The polarographic data associated with each complex and the free ligands are used to substantiate a proposed bonding model which explains the dependency of the complex formula on the ligand structure. The salt SnCl₄·5H₂O was employed as a source of Sn(IV) and the complete polarographic behaviour of this salt in acetonitrile is described as a basis for the interpretation of complex reduction behaviour.     

Complexes of pyridine and quinoline N-oxides with boron trifluoride: the <Superscript>1</Superscript>H NMR study

The formation of complexes of pyridine and quinoline N-oxides with BF₃ was studied by ¹H NMR method. It was shown that the molecular complexes obtained are either individual isomers or a mixture of stereoisomers, whose structures are determined by both electronic and steric properties of substituents in a heterocycle. The type of hybridization (sp3 or sp2) of the O atom of the N-oxide group in the above adducts was assumed to be specified also by the above factors.     

Electrochemical oxidation of 4H-imidazole N-oxides

Electrochemical oxidation of substituted 4H-imidazole N-oxides was studied by cyclic voltammetry and EPR spectroscopy. The oxidation potentials of these compounds depend on the chemical form of the substituents, and also on the number and the position of N-oxide oxygen atoms in the ring. During low-temperature electrochemical oxidation in CH₂Cl₂ the formation of cation radicals of 4H-imidazole N-oxides was established. It was shown that the oxidative methoxylation of 4H-imidazole N-oxides proceeds via a cation-radical mechanism.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2009–2013, September, 1991.     

Mass spectrometric investigation of stereosomeric 1,2-dimethyl-4-substituted decahydroquinol-4-ol N-oxides. Concerning the configuration of the asymmetric nitrogen atom

The main fragmentation pathways of the N-1, C-2 and C-4 stereoisomers of the 1,2-dimethyl-4-R-transdecahydroquinoline-4-ol N-oxides (R=C?CH, CH?CH₂ and C₂H₅) under electron impact are discussed. The correlation between the mass spectrometric chromatographic behaviour and the configuration of polar groups in the N-oxides examined is discussed. The mass spectra of the N-1 stereoisomers may be subdivided into two groups, depending only on the orientation of N→O group and not of the 4-OH group. The spectra of N-oxides with the axial N-oxide group reveal less intense ions and much more intense [M? CH₃]⁺, [M? O]⁺, [M? OH]⁺ and ions, whereas in the spectra of their equatorial epimers the abundance of the ions exceeds the intensities of the latter ions.     

Halogen- and phenoxy-substituted quadridentate schiff bases: Their Co(III) complexes and reactivity of the CoC bond in related alkyl complexes

Introduction of halogeno and phenoxy substituents onto the methine carbons of the symmetrical and unsymmetrical Schiff bases, bis-(acetylacetone)ethylenediimine, salicylaldehydeacetylacetoneethylenediimine, and o-hydroxyacetophenoneacetylacetone-ethylenediimine, has been performed through the use of halogenosuccinimides and sodium phenoxide. The related [Co(Chel),2py]ClO₄ and RCo(Chel), H₂O (Chel = quadridentate ligand) complexes have been synthesized and characterized. The influence of these substituents on the electrochemical properties and behaviour of the CoC bond have been investigated. It appears that halogen-substituted complexes exhibit less negative potential values for the Co(III)-Co(II) couple than do unsubstituted complexes. However, all alkylated complexes are reactive toward CH₃SnCl₃ while¹H NMR and EPR measurements point to the occurrence of the homolytic cleavage of the CoC bond.     

Synthesis, characterization and solution behaviour of phosphoryl complexes of tin tetrafluoride

The preparation and characterization of a series of octahedral complexes [SnF₄L₂] (L = (Me₂N)₃PO (1), L = (R₂N)₂P(O)F; R = Me (2); Et (3) or L = R₂NP(O)F₂; R = Me (4); Et (5)) are described. These new adducts have been characterised by multinuclear (¹⁹F, ³¹P and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The NMR data particularly the ¹⁹F NMR spectra showed that the complexes exist in solution as mixtures of cis and trans isomers. The solution behaviour of the complexes studied by variable temperature NMR in the presence of excess ligand indicated that, unlike in the SnCl₄ analogues, the ligand exchange at room temperature is slow for 1–3 and fast only for 4 and 5. The metal–ligand exchange barriers in [SnF₄L₂] and [SnCl₄L₂] systems were estimated and compared. The results indicate that in addition to the difference in the Lewis acidity between SnF₄ and SnCl₄ the nature of the substituents (fluorine atoms) on the phosphorus atom of the ligand can contribute considerably to the lability of the complex obtained.     

Synthesis and characterization of intermediate sitting-atop (i-SAT) complexes of free base meso-tetraarylporphyrins and tin(IV) chloride

The reaction of meso-tetraarylporphyrins (H₂T(X)PP) with SnCl₄ affords green intermediate sitting-atop (i-SAT) complexes, [(H₂T(X)PP)SnCl₄]. UV–Vis, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectral data show that the porphyrin core of the complexes is distorted, thus two nitrogen atoms of the pyrrolenine groups on one side of the porphyrin plane act as electron donors to the tin center of SnCl₄. The intermediate sitting-atop (i-SAT) complex is formed each time during the incorporation of the metal center, where in the intermediate state the pyrrolic protons still remain on the porphyrin.     

Spectroscopic,crystal structure and thermal studies of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) with 5-amino-4-arylazo-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole (aryl=C6H5,o-C6H4COOH,o-C6H4OH)

5-Amino-4-arylazo-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole (aryl?=?C₆H₅,o-C₆H₄COOH,o-C₆H₄OH) and its complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions were synthesized. The complexes are in the ratio 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 (metal?:?ligand). Ligands and complexes were subjected to elemental analysis, IR, Raman, UV-Vis and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The mass spectra of the ligands were discussed. Thermal analysis and magnetic measurements were carried out for the prepared complexes. The X-ray single crystal structure of [Ni(L1)₂] was performed. The investigated pyrazole compounds coordinate as bidentate ligands through amino and azo nitrogens or tridentate through NNO. The molar conductance of the chelates is measured and reflected the non-electrolytic nature of the prepared complexes.     

Copper(II) complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine and its n-oxide

A series of Cu(II) complexes of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]-nonene-3-thiocarboxylic acid 2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazide(HL) and the corresponding N-oxide (HLO) have been prepared and characterized. Both ligands undergo deprotonation and appear to coordinate via the thione sulfur, the imine nitrogen and the pyridyl nitrogen (or N-oxide oxygen). A single anionic ligand such as Cl^?, Br^?, NCS^? and N^?₃ completes the bonding to the Cu(II) center of these 4-coordinate complexes. When the complexes are prepared using Cu(II) perchlorate, the solids isolated contain a neutral thiosemicarbazone ligand as well as the deprotonated ligand. The solids are primarily characterized by IR, electronic and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. In addition, electronic and ESR spectra of their chloroform solutions were recorded. Most of the solids (except the nitrates) were unaltered upon dissolution. Simulation of the solution ESR spectra was used to estimate the coupling constants of the various coordinated nuclei.     

Synthesis of pyridine N-oxide-SbCl5 complexes and their intramolecular and oxygen-transfer reaction

Mixing with equimolar solutions of pyridine N-oxide or its homologs and SbCl₅ in CCl₄ deposited 1:1 complexes as colorless crystals in high yield. On thermolysis, these complexes underwent intramolecular oxygen transfer to give selectively the corresponding 2-pyridone derivatives. N,N-Dimethylaniline N-oxide and SbCl₅ also gave a crystalline 1:1 complex which on thermolysis yield o-dimethylaminophenol in good yield.     

Thermal behavior of some new isatin complexes

The complexes of the type SnCl₄(HL)·EtOH and SnCl₂L₂ (HL ¹ : the Schiff base resulted in 1:1 condensation of isatin and aniline; HL ² : the Schiff base resulted in 1:1 condensation of isatin and p-toluidine) have been synthesized and characterized. The thermal analysis of the new ligands and complexes has evidenced the thermal intervals of stability and also the thermal effects that accompany them. The Schiff bases thermal transformations consist in phase transitions, C_arom–N bond cleavage and thermolysis processes. The different nature of the complexes generates their different thermal behaviour. The complexes lead in three steps to SnO₂ and in all cases the Schiff bases degradation generates a pyrrolidone-coordinated derivative. As for the SnCl₄(HL)·EtOH complexes, the SnCl₄ formed during the last step is involved in two competitive processes, one consists in their volatilisation while the other one leads to SnO₂. As result the SnO₂ residue is smaller than the theoretically expected.     

Organotin(IV) complexes with 2-(2′-pyridyl)quinoxaline (L): The crystal structure of the [SnEt2Cl2L]·0.5 benzene

Complexes of 2-(2′-pyridyl)quinoxaline (L) with R₂SnCl₂ (R=Me, Et, Buⁿ) have been synthesized and characterized using IR, far-IR, ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer, ¹H and ¹³C spectroscopies. The X-ray crystal structure of Et₂SnCl₂L shows a bidentate chelating behaviour of L, which is observed in all the diorganotin compounds presented. Interaction of the ligand L with SnCl₄ resulted in the formation of a salt with the formula [(LH)₂]²⁺[SnCl₆]²⁻. Solution studies of the complexes R₂SnCl₂L (R=Me, Et, Buⁿ) revealed partial dissociation of the ligand in chloroform.     

Crystal feature and spectral characterization of Zn(II) complexes containing Schiff base of Acylpyrazolone ligand with antimalarial action

With association of acylpyrazolones and benzhydrazide, two novel Ligands BZ-PCBMCPMP ((Z)-N'-((4-chlorophenyl) (1-(3-chlorophenyl) 3-methyl-5-oxo-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazol-4-ylidene) methyl) benzohydrazide) and BZ-PCBPMP ((Z)-N'-((4-chlorophenyl) (1-phenyl) 3-methyl-5-oxo-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazol-4-ylidene) methyl) benzohydrazide)) with different O–N–O fashion were synthesized via Schiff base reaction, which on complexation with Zn(II) acetate dihydrate yields novel [Zn(BZ-PCBMCPMP)₂] and [Zn-(BZ-PCBPMP)₂] complexes with distorted octahedron framework. Structure elucidation was performed through several spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C NMR, TG-DTA, UV/Vis, and Single-crystal XRD. The non-electrolytic nature was confirmed through molar-conductance values. Single crystal X-ray study of the BZ-PCBPMP ligand shows intramolecular as well as intermolecular hydrogen bonding, giving rise to a H-bonded dimer. In [Zn-(BZ-PCBPMP)₂] one ligand is symmetrically coordinating while the other is asymmetrically coordinating to the Zinc atom. Antimalarial property of ligands and complexes was also discovered by its efficient MIC activity against Chloroquine sensitive P. falciparum.     

Electronic spectra and structure of 2,4-dihalopicolines and their N-oxides

UV spectra of 2,4-dihalopicolines and their N-oxides are presented, and the influence of substituents on spectral parameters is discussed. The electronic spectra were calculated by a modified INDO method. Transition energies, intensities, and assignments were compared with UV spectra. The degree of intramolecular charge transfer in 2,4-dihalopicolines is greater than in 2-halopicoline N-oxides and smaller than in 2-halo-4-nitropicoline N-oxides. Difference values of HOMO-LUMO energies point out that the susceptibility on photochemical reaction lies in the order: 2-halo-4-nitropicoline N-oxides > 2,4-dihalopicoline N-oxides > 2-halopicoline N-oxides > pyridine N-oxide.

N16-oxides of sparteine, 2-methylsparteine and 2-phenylsparteine as ligands; spectroscopic and DFT studies of complexes with ZnX2 (X=Cl,Br)

Six new ZnX₂ (X=Cl, Br) complexes with N16-oxides of sparteine, 2-methylsparteine and 2-phenylsparteine as ligands have been synthesized and characterized by MS, IR, NMR and DFT methods. All complexes have 1 : 1 stoichiometry. Complexation with N16-oxides involves inversion of the configuration at N16, converting ring C from a boat into a chair with the oxygen engaged in coordination. All complexes investigated are of composition [(L–H)⁺(ZnX₃)^?] (where L is N-oxide). The structures of the complexes obtained have been compared with those of the monoperchlorate salts of the N-oxides.     

Structures and reactivities of 2-methyl- and 2-benzyl-3-hydroxypyridines and their N-oxides

It was shown by UV spectroscopy that the introduction of CH₃ and CH₂Ph groups into the 2 position of 3-hydroxypyridine and its N-oxides does not have a substantial effect on the acidbase transformations of these compounds. The effect of methyl and benzyl groups on the electronic and energy characteristics of 3-hydroxypyridine and its N-oxide was studied by means of perturbation theory within the framework of the Hückel MO method. The reactivity indexes (RI) of 2-methyl- and 2-benzyl-3-hydroxypyridines and their N-oxides were calculated, and the RI were correlated with the experimentally observed regularity of the orientation of electrophilic substitution in the indicated compounds.     

Cu(II) complexes of N-propyl-2-picolinamine N-oxide

Cu(II) complexes have been prepared with N-propyl-2-picolinamine N-oxide(PA) employing the perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate, nitrate, chloride and bromide salts. The following unique solids have been isolated and characterized: Cu(PA)₂X₂ (X = ClO₄^?, BF₄^? and NO₃^?) and Cu(PA)X₂ (X = Cl^?, Br^?). Characterization has been accomplished primarily by IR, electronic and ESR measurements of the solid state since considerable alteration of the complexes occurs on dissolution. PA bonds as a bidentate ligand via its N-oxide oxygen and amine nitrogen in all of the complexes. Anion coordination occurs in the halogen complexes and the nitrate ions appear to be bound to Cu(II) as monodentate ligands in Cu(PA)₂(NO₃)₂. In addition, there appears to be a rhombic distortion of the CuO₂N₂ chromophore of the perchlorate and tetrafluoroborate solids which is probably due to the steric requirements of the propyl substituents.     

Solubilization of silica: Synthesis, characterization and study of penta-coordinated pyridine N-oxide silicon complexes

In an effort to design agents that could solubilize silica in water, under ambient conditions and pH, as takes place in nature, novel zwitterionic, penta-oxo-coordinated silicon compounds with siliconate cores have been prepared from 4-substituted pyridine N-oxides (H, OMe, morpholino, NO₂) as donor ligands, their structures established by¹H,¹³C and MS, and the coordination number of silicon, by²⁹Si NMR. The formation of complexes from pyridine N-oxides is noteworthy since they arise from interaction with a weakly nucleophilic oxygen centre. The ability of the pyridine N-oxides to enhance the solubilization of silica in water has been experimentally demonstrated. Possible rationalization of this observation on the basis of O → Si coordination via the oxygen atom of pyridine N-oxide is suggested Dedicated to Professor S Swaminathan on the occasion of his 80th birthday
