New thallium(III) chloride complexes with pyridine carboxylic acids: from molecular compounds to supramolecular associations

Reactions of TlCl₃ with picolinic acid (Hpic), nicotinic acid (Hnic), isonicotinic acid (Hinic) and 3-hydroxy-picolinic acid (H3hpic) afford the isolation of new chlorothallium(III) complexes. The compounds are characterized by IR, Raman and multinuclear NMR (¹H,¹³C,²⁰⁵Tl). The molecular structures of [TlCl₂(pic)(Hpic)]·0.5H₂O (1), [TlCl₂(nic)(Hnic)] (2), [TlCl(inic)₂]·0.6C₂H₅OH (3) and [TlCl(3hpic)₂(h3hpic)] (4) are determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A distorted octahedral TlCl₂N₂O₂ core containing the O,N-chelating ligands is achieved in the monomeric complex 1. The coordination polyhedron in compounds 2–4 is pentagonal bipyramidal, i.e. TlCl₂NO₄ in 2, and TlClN₂O₄ in 3 and 4, respectively. O,O′,N-Bridging ligands result in a polymer chain for 2 and a three-dimensional polymeric association in 3, while compound 4 is monomeric (O, N-and O,O-chelating ligands).     

[Boranato-bis(dimethylphosphonium-methylid)]-Komplexe der do- und d10-Metalle: Li,Be, Mg,Zn, Cd,Hg, Al und Ga

Dehydrohalogenation and metallation of boranato-bis-trimethylphosphonium salts (1), using two equivalents of a lithiumalkyl in tetrahydrofuran, leads to a solvated organolithium reagent H₂B[(CH₃)₂PCH₂]₂Li (3) which can be converted into a 1:1n1-complex with tetramethylethylenediamin (4).3 reacts with anhydrous metal(II) halides to form spirocyclic coordination compounds of the type H₂B[(CH₃)₂PCH₂]₂ M[CH₂P(CH₃)₂]₂BH₂ (5–9,M=Be, Mg, Zn, Cd, Hg). The reaction of [(CH₃)₃PBH₂P(CH₃)₃]Br (1) with lithium tetramethylmetalates Li[M(CH₃)₄],M=Al, Ga, on heating in the absence of a solvent affords the metallocycles H₂B[(CH₃)₂PCH₂]₂ M(CH₃)₂ (10, 11) with evolution of methane. The products can be sublimed from the reaction mixture. The proposed structures of the new compounds, with tetrahedrally coordinated central atoms and strong covalent metal-carbon interactions, are supported by mass, IR and¹H,⁷Li,¹¹B,¹³C, and³¹P NMR spectra. Compound9 represents a rare case of a tetracoordinate organomercurial, compound5 is the first nonionic tetraalkylberyllate.

     

NMR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zurE/Z-Isomerie von substituierten Dithiocarbazinsäurederivaten

Summary NMR-spectroscopic investigations of substituted dithiocarbacinic acid derivatives show the existence of configurational isomers relative to the C=N double bond, but no tautomerism. We applied chemical shift differences in the¹H-,¹³C- and¹⁵N-NMR-spectra, N - H and C - H coupling constants and NOE difference measurements in the solvents CDCl₃,DMSO-d ₆ and partly CD₃OD in order to discriminate between the isomers and to determine the configurational composition. Compounds4 and5 exist asE-isomers in all solvents, compounds1, 2 and3 as a mixture ofE/Z-isomers. InDMSO-d ₆ theE-form is the preferred isomer.

     

Molecular structure and decomposition mechanism of peracetic acid esters AcOOR (R = Me,Bu<Superscript>t</Superscript>)

The molecular structure and conformational mobility of methyl and tert-butyl esters of peracetic acid AcOOR (R = Me (1), Bu^t (2)) were studied by the ab initio MP4(SDQ)//MP2(FC)/6-31G(d,p) method and density functional B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) approach. The B3LYP calculated equilibrium conformations of the molecules are characterized by the C-O-O-C torsion angles of 93.6° (1) and 117.0° (2). Structural features of the molecules under study and a distortion of tetrahedral bond configuration at the C_α atom were explained using the natural bonding orbital approach. The standard enthalpies of formation of AcOOMe (−328.5 kJ mol⁻¹) and AcOOBu^t (−440.4 kJ mol⁻¹) were determined using the G2 and G2(MP2) computational schemes and the isodesmic reaction approach. The transition state of AcOOMe decomposition into AcOOH and formaldehyde was calculated (E _a = 122.8 kJ mol⁻¹). The thermal effects of homolytic decomposition of the peroxy esters following a concerted mechanism (Me^· + CO₂ + ^·OR) and simple homolysis of the peroxide bond (AcO^· + ^·OR) were found to be 97.5±0.3 and 155.1±0.3 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. At temperatures below 400 K, the most probable decomposition mechanism of peroxy esters 1 and 2 involves simple homolysis of the O-O bond.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

RuO<Subscript>4</Subscript>-mediated oxidation of<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-benzylated tertiary amines. Are amine<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-oxides and iminium cations reaction intermediates?

N-Benzylmorpholine,-piperidine, and-pyrrolidine (1A-C, resp.) are oxidised by RuO₄ (generated in situ) at both endocyclic and exocyclic (benzylic) N—α-methylene positions to afford lactams (and dioxo-derivatives) and benzaldehyde (and benzoyl derivatives), respectively. The N-oxides of 1A-C, formed by a minor side reaction, are not involved as intermediates. Control experiments showed the transient formation of endo- and exocyclic iminium cations trapped with NaCN as the corresponding nitriles. The proposed course of the RuO₄-mediated oxidation of 1A-C involves the consecutive steps 1⇒iminium cations+cyclic enamine⇒oxidation products. The endocyclic/exocyclic regioselectivity of the oxidation reaction lies between 0.8 (for 1A) and 2.1 (for 1B). The amine cation radical and the N-α-C· carbon-centered radical seem not to be involved.     

<Superscript>13</Superscript>C NMR and mass spectrometry of soil organic matter

Liquid state, high resolution ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry were used to study the composition and structure of soil organic matter (SOM) using soil extracts from two long-term experiments at the Rothamsted Experimental Station. Both one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques were applied. ¹³C NMR sub-spectra of the CH _n (n=0...3) groups, obtained by the Distortionless Enhancement by Polarisation Transfer (DEPT) technique, were used for the elucidation of the qualitative and quantitative composition of humic and fulvic acids in the soils. The chemical structure of SOM was further analysed at the molecular level through Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry (FABMS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Humic and fulvic extract results were not only compared to each other, but also to the solid state ¹³C NMR results for the complete soil sample.     

Einfluß der Polarität und Viskosität des Lösungsmittels auf die Deaktivierung des S1-Zustandes von Donator-Akzeptor-substituiertentrans-Stilbenen

The dependence of the fluorescence constantsk _f ⁿ and the adiabatic twisting constantsk _tpof the S₁-State upon the solvent polarity, the capacity of hydrogen-bonding, as well as the solvent viscosity, were investigated for donor-acceptor substitutedtrans-stilbenes [4-dimethylamino-4-cyano-stilbene (1 g), 4-dimethylamino-4-diphenylphosphinyl-stilbene (1 b), 4-dimethylamino-4-brom-stilbene (1 h) and 4-dimethylamino-4-methoxistilbene (1 k)] by using the multiparameter model. An increase of the solvent polarity results in the decrease of the fluorescence ratek _f ⁿ for all these compounds. The specific interaction between the strongly polar stilbenes such as1 g and1 b and a solvent leads to additional decrease ink _f ⁿ but in the case of a relatively weak polar compound1 k to its growth. The linear combination of universal and specific solvent-solute interactions yields distinct relations fork _tp. Both interactions have an influence onk _tpfor1 g,1 b, and1 k to an equal degree. The twisting observed for1 g and1 b due to the interaction with solvent is hindered, however it is being supported for1 k. The influence of the investigated small range of viscosity onk _tpat simultaneous variable solvent polarity (pure solvent) is only visible for the weak polar1 k. In the other cases the effect of solvent-polarity is predominant.The viscosity dependence ofk _tpwas also experimentally proved for1 g,1 b and1 k by applying the obtained different dimethylformamid-acetonitril mixtures. According previous results the radiationless deactivation process is caused by twisting around ethyl-bonding, thereforek _tpevidently decreases with an increase of viscosity.

     

Synthesis,structure and isomerism of “three-bridge” exo-nido-osmacarborane clusters

The reaction of OsCl₂(PPh₃)₃ with [nido-7-R¹-8-R²-C₂B₉H₁₀]K⁺ produced a series of new exo-nido-osmacarborane complexes exo-nido-5,6,10-[Cl(Ph₃P)₂Os]-5,6,10-(-H)₃-10-H-7-R¹-8-R²-7,8-C₂B₉H₆ (1: R¹ = R² = H; 2: R¹ = R² = Me; 3: R¹ = R² = PhCH₂; 4: R¹ + R² = 1,2-C₆H₄(CH₂)₂; 5: R¹ = H, R² = Me) in which the osmium-containing group is linked to the nido-carborane ligand through three two-electron three-center bonds. Compounds 1—5 are formed as mixtures of symmetric (a) and asymmetric (b) isomers; pure symmetric isomers 2a and 4a were isolated by fractional crystallization, and the mixture of isomers 3a, was quantitatively separated into individual compounds 3a and 3b by column chromatography on silica gel. Detailed analysis of the ³¹P{¹H}, ¹H, ¹¹B NMR spectra of 1a,b—5a,b and 2D ¹H-¹H{¹¹B} and ¹¹B{¹H}-¹¹B{¹H} NMR spectra of 3a and 3b was performed. The structures of isomers 2a and 4a were confirmed by an X-ray diffraction study. According to the NMR and X-ray diffraction data, the isomerism of exo-nido-complexes 1a,b—5a,b is actually the cis—trans-isomerism of ligand arrangement in the octahedral coordination of the Os atom.     

Zu den Umlagerungsreaktionen des Acetyl-benzoylcarbens

Labelled acetyl-benzoylcarbene (13) formed by photolytic nitrogen elimination from [2-¹³C]1-phenyl-2-diazo-1,3-butadione (8) rearranges in the presence of ethanol to ethyl 2-phenylacetoacetate (26%) and ethyl 2-benzoylpropionate (74%). The¹³C-labelling in ethyl 2-phenylacetoacetate is found to the extend of ca.58% in the ester carbonyl function (20) and to ca. 42% in the adjacent tertiary carbon atom (21). This proves the isomerisation of carbene13 to carbene11 via the intermediate acetyl-phenyloxirene (12). The [1-¹³C]-labelled ester20 is formed by acetyl migration in11 to the ketene16 and subsequent addition of ethanol. In contrast, ethyl 2-benzoylpropionate is exclusively generated by migration of the methyl group in carbene13 since it contains the complete¹³C-labelling at the tertiary carbon atom (22).

     

Reaktivität der Pyrrolpigmente, 2. Mitt.: Deprotonierung von 3-Pyrrolin-2-onen

Deprotonation of 3,4-dimethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-on (1) int-butyl alcohol/potassiumt-butoxide solutions takes place on the N atom, as shown by¹H/²H exchange andpK _a determinations of1 (pK=17.1), 1,3,4-trimethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-one (pK _a =17.6), and 3,4-dimethyl-5-methoxy-2_H-pyrrole (pK _a =16.7). The SCF-MO approximation MINDO/3 indicates, however, that in the gas phase deprotonation of1 should occur at the C atom.

Evaluation of <Superscript>13</Superscript>C NMR spectra of cyclopropenyl and cyclopropyl acetylenes by theoretical calculations

A convenient methodology was developed for a very accurate calculation of ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of the title compounds. GIAO calculations with density functional methods (B3LYP, B3PW91, PBE1PBE) and 6-311+G(2d,p) basis set predict experimental chemical shifts of 3-ethynylcyclopropene (1), 1-ethynylcyclopropane (2) and 1,1-diethynylcyclopropane (3) with high accuracy of 1–2 ppm. The present article describes in detail the effect of geometry choice, density functional method, basis set and effect of solvent on the accuracy of GIAO calculations of ¹³C NMR chemical shifts. In addition, the particular dependencies of ¹³C chemical shifts on the geometry of cyclopropane ring were investigated.

Self-assembly of 1D Coordination Polymers Containing Copper(I) <Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butylthiolato Clusters: Structural Characterization and Properties

Abstract  The solvothermal reactions of copper(I) tert-butylthiolate (CuS ^t Bu) with 1/3 equiv. of dppe [dppe = bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane] or bix [bix = 1,4-bis(imidalzole-1-ylmethyl)benzene] in CH₃CN led to the formation of two cluster-based coordination polymers [(CuS ^t Bu)₄(dppe)] _n (1) and [(CuS ^t Bu)₆(bix)] _n (2). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that 1 and 2 feature 1D zigzag polymeric chains which contain rare (CuS ^t Bu)₄ or (CuS ^t Bu)₆ clusters as connecting junctions and dppe or bix as linkers. The title compounds show optical transitions with band gaps of ∼3.18 eV for 1 and ∼2.81 eV for 2. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit strong photoluminescence with the peaks maximum at 603 and 629 nm respectively.
