Unique properties of this compound are disclosed in terms of fluorophilicity and activity as a Lewis acid catalyst in comparison with other mono‐nuclear derivatives. A new criterion for obtaining high solubility in fluorocarbon solvents is presented. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The cross-coupling reactions of organic halides with organic derivatives of tin,mercury and copper catalyzed by palladium

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of organic halides with organometallic compounds of tin, mercury and copper is discussed. It is shownn that the “ligandless” palladium complexes RPdXL₂ (L = solvent), in which solvent molecules act as weak donating ligands, are the most active catalysts for reactions of organotin compounds. It is found that nucleophilic catalysis is an efficient method of activatioin of organomercury and organocopper compounds in cross-coupling reactions. In the presence of iodide ion the palladium-catalyzed reactions of these compounds proceed under mild conditions giving high yields of cross-coupling products.     

Effect of Organotin Compounds and Their Complexes with Phosphatidylcholine on Peroxide Oxidation of Lipid Structural Fragments

Oxidation of a lipid structural fragment, oleic acid, in the presence of a series of organotin compounds and their complexes with phosphatidylcholine was studied at 25, 37, 65, and 95°C. At a nearly physiological temperature, acceleration of hydroperoxide accumulation in the presence of these complexes was observed. At 65°C, addition of organotin derivatives leads to increase in the initial rate of hydroperoxide accumulation, but the kinetic curves acquire an S-like character as the reaction progresses. These data indicate that the rate of decomposition of hydroperoxides exceeds the rate of their accumulation. In the presence of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol as antioxidant, the promoting effect of organotin compounds disappears. A possible reaction mechanism and the role of radical species arising from dissociation of the CÄSn bond are discussed.     

Hydration energies and structures of alkaline earth metal ions, M2+(H2O)n, n = 5-7, M = Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba

The evaporation of water from hydrated alkaline earth metal ions, produced by electrospray ionization, was studied in a Fourier transform mass spectrometer. Zero-pressure-limit dissociation rate constants for loss of a single water molecule from the hydrated divalent metal ions, M(2+)(H(2)O)(n) (M = Mg, Ca, and Sr for n = 5-7, and M = Ba for n = 4-7), are measured as a function of temperature using blackbody infrared radiative dissociation. From these values, zero-pressure-limit Arrhenius parameters are obtained. By modeling the dissociation kinetics using a master equation formalism, threshold dissociation energies (E(o)) are determined. These reactions should have a negligible reverse activation barrier; therefore, E(o) values should be approximately equal to the binding energy or hydration enthalpy at 0 K. For the hepta- and hexahydrated ions at low temperature, binding energies follow the trend expected on the basis of ionic radii: Mg > Ca > Sr > Ba. For the hexahydrated ions at high temperature, binding energies follow the order Ca > Mg > Sr > Ba. The same order is observed for the pentahydrated ions. Collisional dissociation experiments on the tetrahydrated species result in relative dissociation rates that directly correlate with the size of the metals. These results indicate the presence of two isomers for hexahydrated magnesium ions: a low-temperature isomer in which the six water molecules are located in the first solvation shell, and a high-temperature isomer with the most likely structure corresponding to four water molecules in the inner shell and two water molecules in the second shell. These results also indicate that the pentahydrated magnesium ions have a structure with four water molecules in the first solvation shell and one in the outer shell. The dissociation kinetics for the hexa- and pentahydrated clusters of Ca(2+), Sr(2+), and Ba(2+) are consistent with structures in which all the water molecules are located in the first solvation shell.

New mononuclear diorganotin(IV) dithiocarboxylates: synthesis,characterization and study of their cytotoxic activities

Since organotin complexes have been reported to show fewer side effects relative to other heavy metal anticancer compounds, in the present study we report for the first time four novel organotin(IV) derivatives with the general formula R₂SnL₂, where R = methyl (1), n‐butyl (2), phenyl (3), benzyl (4) and L = morpholine‐1‐carbodithioate (MCDT). The newly synthesized ligand was monodentate or bidentate, coordinating through a sulfur atom. The complexes were synthesized by directly mixing, refluxing and stirring the ligand, with diorganotin(IV) dichlorides in a suitable solvent. The complexes were found to be pure and their solid and solution phase structural configuration was investigated by FT‐IR, multinuclear NMR (¹ H, ¹³ C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and mass spectrometry. Complex 2 was also studied for its thermal decomposition by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis. The results obtained on the basis of these techniques are in full concurrence with the proposed 1:2 (Sn:L) stoichiometry. The cytotoxic activity of the MCDT and diorganotin(IV) complexes (1–4) was tested against tumor cell lines – human cervix carcinoma HeLa and human myelogenous leukemia K562 – and normal immunocompetent cells: peripheral blood mononuclear cells PBMC. Results of bioassay demonstrated that organotin derivatives were in general more active than the anticancer drug cisplatin. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Improving carbon dioxide solubility in ionic liquids

Previously we showed that CO2 could be used to extract organic molecules from ionic liquids without contamination of the ionic liquid. Consequently a number of other groups demonstrated that ionic liquid/CO2 biphasic systems could be used for homogeneously catalyzed reactions. Large differences in the solubility of various gases in ionic liquids present the possibility of using them for gas separations. More recently we and others have shown that the presence of CO2 increases the solubility of other gases that are poorly soluble in the ionic liquid phase. Therefore, a knowledge and understanding of the phase behavior of these ionic liquid/CO2 systems is important. With the aim of finding ionic liquids that improve CO2 solubility and gaining more information to help us understand how to design CO2-philic ionic liquids, we present the low- and high-pressure measurements of CO2 solubility in a range of ionic liquids possessing structures likely to increase the solubility of CO2. We examined the CO2 solubility in a number of ionic liquids with systematic increases in fluorination. We also studied nonfluorinated ionic liquids that have structural features known to improve CO2 solubility in other compounds such as polymers, for example, carbonyl groups and long alkyl chains with branching or ether linkages. Results show that ionic liquids containing increased fluoroalkyl chains on either the cation or anion do improve CO2 solubility when compared to less fluorinated ionic liquids previously studied. It was also found that it was possible to obtain similar, high levels of CO2 solubility in nonfluorous ionic liquids. In agreement with our previous results, we found that the anion frequently plays a key role in determining CO2 solubility in ionic liquids.     

Equilibrium studies of the diorganotin(IV) complexes with some amino acids and related compounds

The interaction of dimethyltin(IV) and diethyltin(IV) cations with water and some amino acids and related compounds was investigated at 25 degrees C and ionic strength 0.1 M NaNO(3) using a potentiometric technique. The results showed the formation of 11 and 12 (organotin:ligand) complexes and the corresponding stability constants were determined. The participation of different ligand functional groups in binding to organotin is discussed. The effect of the pK(a) value of the respective ligand on the stability constant of its complex species was elucidated. The concentration distribution of the complexes in solution was evaluated.     

Steric, electronic, and secondary effects on the coordination chemistry of ionic phosphine ligands and the catalytic behavior of their metal complexes

The effects of introducing ionic functionalities in phosphine ligands on the coordination chemistry of these ligands and the catalytic behavior of the corresponding metal complexes are reviewed. The steric and electronic consequences of such functionalizations are discussed. Apart from these steric and electronic effects, the presence of charged groups often leads to additional, supramolecular interactions that occur in the second coordination sphere of the metal complex, such as intramolecular, interligand hydrogen bonding and Coulombic repulsion. These interactions can significantly alter the behavior of the phosphine ligand in question. Such effects have been observed in phosphine-metal association/dissociation equilibria, ligand substitution reactions, and stereoisomerism in phosphine-metal complexes. By drawing general conclusions, this review offers an insight into the coordination and catalytic behavior of phosphine ligands containing ionic functionalities and their corresponding metal complexes.

Synthesis,structural studies and some biological aspects,including nematicidal and insecticidal properties,of organotin(IV) complexes formed with biologically active sulfonamide imine ligand

The synthetic, spectroscopic and biological studies of some organotin(IV) complexes derived from sulfonamide imine having a nitrogen–nitrogen donor system have been undertaken. The sulfonamide imine, on interaction with organotin(IV) chlorides, yields complexes having an Sn←N bond. The structures of these compounds have been elucidated by microestimations and spectral (UV, IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR) studies, which unerringly point to the trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral geometries for the unimolar and bimolar reactions respectively around tin(IV), as the active lone pair of nitrogen is also included in the coordination sphere. Studies were conducted to assess the comparative growth‐inhibiting potential of the synthesized complexes against the sulfonamide imine for a variety of fungal and bacterial strains. The studies demonstrate that the concentrations reached levels sufficient to inhibit and kill the pathogens. The results of the biological studies have also been compared with the conventional standards, Bavistin and Streptomycin, taken for antifungal and antibacterial activities respectively. The complexes also show higher nematicidal and insecticidal properties. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solubility and Raman Spectroscopic Study of As(III) Speciation in Organic Compound-Water Solutions. A Hydration Approach for Aqueous Arsenic in Complex Solutions

Solubilities of arsenolite (As₂O₃, cub.) were measured from 22 to 90°C in water–acetone, water–acetic acid, and water—formic acid solutions of compositions ranging from the pure organic compound to pure water. Raman spectra were obtained at ambient temperature on As-containing water–acetic acid and water–acetone solutions. Results show that arsenic solvation by these organic compounds is negligible and hydroxide species dominate As speciation over a wide range of water activity (a_{H 2 O}> 0.01). The solubility data were analyzed using an approach based on stoichiometric hydration reactions. Results show that As₂O₃ solubility can be described as a function of water activity, independently of the nature of the organic compound, by involving two neutral As hydroxide complexes: As(OH)₃ and As(OH)₃·4H₂O. Stability constants derived for these species indicate that hydration weakens with increasing temperature. Calculations using these constants show that at low temperatures the tetrahydrate As(OH)₃·4H₂O is dominant in water-rich solutions; by contrast, in high-temperature crustal fluids, As(OH)₃ becomes the major As species. The proposed hydration model can be used to analyze solubility of arsenic-bearing minerals and arsenic transport in complex H₂O–CO₂—electrolyte solutions encountered in natural and industrial environments.     

Preparation and structural characterization of organotin(IV) complexes with ligands containing a hetero {N} atom and a hydroxy group or hydroxy and carboxyl groups

Twenty-two n-butyltin(IV) and t-butyltin(IV) complexes of ligands containing an -OH (-CO) group or -OH and -COOH groups and an aromatic {N} donor atom were prepared by metathetical reactions. On the basis of the FT-IR and Mössbauer spectroscopic data, molecular structures were assigned to these compounds. The binding sites of the ligands were identified by means of FT-IR spectroscopic measurements, and it was found that in most cases the organotin(IV) moiety reacts with the phenolic form of these ligands. In the complexes with -OH and -COOH functions, the -COOH group is coordinated to the organotin(IV) centres in a monodentate manner. The ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer and the FT-IR studies support the formation of trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) and octahedral (O_h) molecular structures. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction analysis has been performed on the n-butyltin(IV)- and t-butyltin(IV)-8-quinol 8-olato-O,N single crystals. The hexacoordinated tin centres exhibit cis-octahedral geometry in both complexes.     

Electrospray ionization-multistage tandem mass spectrometry of complex multitin organometallic compounds

The series of 14 complex organotin(IV) compounds containing many tin atoms and noncovalent bonds in the structure was characterized by electrospray ionization multistage tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS(n)). The mass spectra were measured in both polarity modes to obtain complementary structural information. The characteristic pattern of ten natural tin isotopes allowed the determination of the number of tin atoms in the molecular adducts and fragment ions by comparing theoretical and experimental isotopic distributions. Positive ion ESI spectra show unusual adduct formation depending on the type of organic solvent used for the direct infusion analysis owing to the ion-molecule reactions in the ion source. On the basis of the detailed spectral interpretation of organotin(IV) compounds, the fragmentation patterns of multitin organometallic compounds have been proposed. Noncovalent bonds in polymeric complexes are fragmented first, which is then followed by characteristic neutral losses in monomeric units.     

新有机锡化合物的合成及分子内O→Sn配位键的离解与—1NMR相关性的研究

Synthesis, spectral characterization and biological studies of some organotin(IV) complexes of L-proline, trans-hydroxy-L-proline and L-glutamine

New organotin(IV) complexes of the general formula R3Sn(L) (where R=Me, n-Bu and HL=L-proline; R=Me, Ph and HL=trans-hydroxy-L-proline and L-glutamine) and R2Sn(L)2 (where R=n-Bu, Ph and HL=L-proline; R=Ph, HL=trans-hydroxy-L-proline) have been synthesized by the reaction of RnSnCl(4-n) (where n=2 or 3) with sodium salt of the amino acid (HL). n-Bu2Sn(Pro)2 was synthesized by the reaction of n-Bu2SnO with L-proline under azeotropic removal of water. The bonding and coordination behavior in these complexes have been discussed on the basis of IR and 119Sn M?ssbauer spectroscopic studies in the solid-state. Their coordination behavior in solution has been discussed with the help of multinuclear (1H, 13C and 119Sn) NMR spectral studies. The 119Sn M?ssbauer and IR studies indicate that L-proline and trans-hydroxy-L-proline show similar coordination behavior towards organotin(IV) compounds. Pentacoordinate trigonal-bipyramidal and hexacoordinate octahedral structures, respectively, have been proposed for the tri- and diorganotin(IV) complexes of L-proline and trans-hydroxy-L-proline, in which the carboxylate group acts as bidentate group. L-glutamine shows different coordination behavior towards organotin(IV) compounds, it acts as monoanionic bidentate ligand coordinating through carboxylate and amino group. The triorganotin(IV) complexes of L-glutamine have been proposed to have trigonal-bipyramidal environment around tin. The newly synthesized complexes have been tested for their antiinflammatory and cardiovascular activities. Their LD50 values are >1000 mg kg-1.     

Synthesis, characterization and biological activity of some transition metals with Schiff base derived from 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde and aminobenzoic acid

Metal complexes of Schiff base derived from 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde and 2-aminobenzoic acid (HL) are reported and characterized based on elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance and thermal analysis (TGA). The ligand dissociation as well as the metal-ligand stability constants were calculated pH metrically at 25 degrees C and ionic strength mu=0.1 (1M NaCl). The complexes are found to have the formulae [M(HL)2](X)n.yH2O (where M=Fe(III) (X=Cl, n=3, y=3), Co(II) (X=Cl, n=2, y=1.5), Ni(II) (X=Cl, n=2, y=1) and UO2(II) (X=NO3, n=2, y=0)) and [M(L)2] (where M=Cu(II) (X=Cl) and Zn(II) (X=AcO)). The molar conductance data reveal that Fe(III) and Co(II), Ni(II) and UO2(II) chelates are ionic in nature and are of the type 3:1 and 2:1 electrolytes, respectively, while Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes are non-electrolytes. IR spectra show that HL is coordinated to the metal ions in a terdentate manner with ONS donor sites of the carboxylate O, azomethine N and thiophene S. From the magnetic and solid reflectance spectra, it is found that the geometrical structure of these complexes are octahedral. The thermal behaviour of these chelates shows that the hydrated complexes losses water molecules of hydration in the first step followed immediately by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in the subsequent steps. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as, E*, DeltaH*, DeltaS* and DeltaG* are calculated from the DrTG curves using Coats-Redfern method. The synthesized ligands, in comparison to their metal complexes also were screened for their antibacterial activity against bacterial species, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus pyogones and Fungi (Candida). The activity data show that the metal complexes to be more potent/antibacterial than the parent Schiff base ligand against one or more bacterial species.

New, highly acidic ionic liquid systems and their application in the carbonylation of toluene

Based on the surprisingly high solubility of AlCl3 in ionic liquids of type [cation][(CF3SO2)2N], a new class of highly acidic, ionic systems has been developed. First tests in toluene carbonylation revealed high potential of these new acidic ionic liquids as catalyst for arene functionaliziation reactions.     

Simultaneous determination of organotin,organolead, and organomercury compounds in environmental samples using capillary gas chromatography with atomic emission detection

As part of a continuing evaluation of new analytical and sample preparation techniques conducted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the use of capillary gas chromatography with atomic emission detection (GC-AED) for the simultaneous determination of organotin, organolead, and organomercury compounds in environmental samples was investigated. Pentylmagnesium bromide was used to pentylate ionic organotin, organolead, and organomercury compounds; the pentyl derivatives were then separated by GC and determined by AED. Several important GC-AED parameters, including the type of injector inlet, carrier gas flow rate, and helium make-up gas flow rate, were optimized for the simultaneous determination of these organometallic compounds. Their minimum detectable concentrations were approximately 1.0 to 2.5 ng/mL using a 0.5-μL on-column injection. The calibration curves exhibited good linearity between 2.5 and 2500 ng/mL for organotin and organolead compounds, and between 2.5 and 10000 ng/mL for organomercury compounds.
