Kristallstruktur und Phasenumwandlungen von As(CH3)4I

Crystal Structure and Phase Transitions of As(CH₃)₄I The crystal structure of α-As(CH₃)₄I at room temperature was determined using single crystal data: cubic, space group Pa3 , a = 1 198.0(2) pm. Therefore α-As(CH₃)₄I displays a novel crystal structure, which is not comparable to known AB-Typ structures with respect to the arrangement of anions and the baricenters of the complex cations. Differential thermal analysis showed three phase transitions at 103, 175 and 215°C. The lattice parameters of the high temperature phases (temperature dependent Guinier measurements) are: β-As(CH₃)₄I (tetragonal): a = 845.2(2) pm, c = 615.0(2) pm; γ-As(CH₃)₄I (hexagonal): a = 737.7(2) pm, c = 1 082.2(3) pm; and to δ-As(CH₃)₄I (hexagonal): a = 705.8(2) pm, c = 1 147(1) pm. β-and γ-As[(CH₃)]₄I are isotypic to N(CH₃)₄Cl and As(CH₃)₄Br, respectively.

Crystal and Molecular Structure of Bis(3-chlorodimethylstannylpropyl)sulfide S(CH₂CH₂CH₂SnMe₂Cl)₂ The synthesis and reactivity of stannylated propyl amines and propyl sulfides, respectively, E(CH₂CH₂CH₂SnMe₃)₂ ( 1 , E ? NMe; 2 E ? S) and N(CH₂CH₂CH₂SnMe₃)₃ 3 are reported. 1 and 3 react with dimethyl dichlorostannane under thermal cyclisation to 1,5-dimethyl-5-chloro-1aza-5-stannabicyclo[3.3.0^1,5]octane Me(Cl)Sn(CH₂CH₂CH₂)₂NMe 4 and 5-chloro-1-aza-5-stannatricyclo[3.3.3.0^1,5]-undecane ClSn(CH₂CH₂CH₂)₃N 5 , respectively. The reaction of 2 with dimethyl dichlorostannane leads to the formation of bis(3-chloro-dimethylstannylpropyl)sulfide S(CH₂CH₂CH₂SnMe₂Cl)₂ 6 , whereas the treatment of 2 with tin tetrachloride yields the bis(3-di-chloro-methylstannylpropyl)sulfide S(CH₂CH₂CH₂SnMeCl₂)₂ 7 . The ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR data are discussed. 6 crystallizes in the ortho-rhombic space group Pna2₁ with the unit cell parameters a = 2275.0(1), b = 733.6(2), c = 1062.0(4) pm, V = 1.77273 nm³, Z = 4. The structure was refined to a final R value of 0.041. Both tin atoms adopt distorted trigonal bipyramidal configurations as a result of intramolecular interactions with the bridging sulphur. The sulphur and the chlorine atoms occupy the apical positions. The Sn? S distances amount to 309.7(4) and 311.8(4) pm.

New morpholine- and piperazine-functionalized triphenylantimony(V) catecholates: The spectroscopic and electrochemical studies

Novel functionalized triphenylantimony(V) catecholates - Ph₃Sb[4-O(CH₂CH₂)₂N-3,6-DBCat] (1), Ph₃Sb[4-PhN(CH₂CH₂)₂N-3,6-DBCat] (2), Ph₃Sb[4-Ph₂CHN(CH₂CH₂)₂N-3,6-DBCat] (3), Ph₃Sb[4,5-Piperaz-3,6-DBCat] (4) and binuclear bis-catecholate Ph₃Sb[3,6-DBCat-4-N(CH₂CH₂)₂N-4-3,6-DBCat]SbPh₃ (5) were synthesized by the oxidative addition reaction of corresponding o-quinones with triphenylantimony. The [4-O(CH₂CH₂)₂N-3,6-DBCat]²⁻, [4-PhN(CH₂CH₂)₂N-3,6-DBCat]²⁻, [4-Ph₂CHN(CH₂CH₂)₂N-3,6-DBCat]²⁻ and [4,5-Piperaz-3,6-DBCat]²⁻ are 4-(morpholin-1-yl)-, 4-(4-phenyl-piperazin-1-yl)-, 4-(4-dephenylmethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-, and 4,5-(piperazin-1,4-diyl)-3,6-di-tert-butyl-catecholate dianionic ligands, correspondingly. Complexes 1-5 were characterized in details by IR-, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammometry. Molecular structure of 4·CH₃OH was determined by X-ray crystallography to be a distorted tetragonal-pyramidal. The NMR spectroscopic and electrochemical investigations of complexes in the presence of air reveal the reactions of complexes with dioxygen leading to the formation of spiroendoperoxides of 1,2,4,3-trioxastibolane type in a NMR yield of 25-37%.     

New deoxygenative transformations; reactions of (CO)4Fe[Si(CH3)3]2 with acyclic ethers

The reaction of cis-(CO)₄Fe[Si(CH₃)₃]₂ (I) with CH₃OSi(CH₃)₃ and C₆H₅CH₂-OSi(CH₃)₃ at 80°C affords good yields of [(CH₃)₃Si]₂O and the deoxygenation products RSi(CH₃)₃ (R = CH₃, C₆H₅CH₂). These reactions are proposed to occur via (CO)₄Fe(R)Si(CH₃)₃ intermediates. This is supported by the observed formation of cis-(CO)₄Fe(CH₃)Si(CH₃)₃ (II) during the more rapid reaction of I with (CH₃)₂O; subsequent (CH₃)₄Si elimination occurs. With (C₆H₅CH₂)₂O, I reacts at 80°C to yield C₆H₅CH₂Si(CH₃)₃ and C₆H₅CH₂OSi(CH₃)₃ as primary products. With C₆H₅CH₂OCH₃, I effects regioselective benzyl---oxygen bond cleavage.     

Kinetic models for the CH4(ν3) deactivation in CH4-CH4 collisions. Interpretation of experimental results

Various kinetic models for the CH₄(ν₃) deactivation in CH₄-CH₄ collisions at low temperatures (T ? 300 K) are proposed and applied to interpret recently published experimental results. We discuss the value of the rate constant of the single-quantum process CH₄(2ν₄) → CH₄(ν₄) (V-T,R process).     

Erste Komplexe von Yttrium und Lutetium mit schwefelfunktionalisierten Cyclopentadienylliganden

Organometallic Compounds of the Lanthanides. 132 First Complexes of Yttrium and Lutetium with Sulfur functionalized Cyclopentadienyl Ligands Yttrium trichloride reacts with 2 equivalents of Na[C₅H₄CH₂CH₂SEt] ( 1 ) to form (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂SEt)₂YCl ( 2 ). The stepwise reaction of lutetium trichloride with one equivalent of 1 and one equivalent of Na[C₅Me₅] yields (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂SEt)LuCl ( 4 ). Alkylation of 2 and 4 with LiMe gives (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂SEt)₂YMe ( 3 ) or (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂SEt)LuMe ( 5 ), respectively. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of 2 and 4 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Selective methane chlorination to methyl chloride by zeolite Y-based catalysts

The CH₄ chlorination over Y zeolites was investigated to produce CH₃Cl in a high yield. Three different catalytic systems based on Y zeolite were tested for enhancement of CH₄ conversion and CH₃Cl selectivity: (i) HY zeolites in H⁺-form having various Si/Al ratios, (ii) Pt/HY zeolites supporting Pt metal nanoparticles, (iii) Pt/NaY zeolites in Na⁺-form supporting Pt metal nanoparticles. The reaction was carried out using the gas mixture of CH₄ and Cl₂ with the respective flow rates of 15 and 10 mL min⁻¹ at 300–350 °C using a fixed-bed reactor under a continuous gas flow condition (gas hourly space velocity = 3000 mL g⁻¹ h⁻¹). Above the reaction temperature of 300 °C, the CH₄ chlorination is spontaneous even in the absence of catalyst, achieving 23.6% of CH₄ conversion with 73.4% of CH₃Cl selectivity. Under sufficient supplement of thermal energy, Cl₂ molecules can be dissociated to two chlorine radicals, which triggered the C-H bond activation of CH₄ molecule and thereby various chlorinated methane products (i.e., CH₃Cl, CH₂Cl₂, CHCl₃, CCl₄) could be produced. When the catalysts were used under the same reaction condition, enhancement in the CH₄ conversion was observed. The Pt-free HY zeolite series with varied Si/Al ratios gave around 27% of CH₄ conversion, but there was a slight decrease in CH₃Cl selectivity with about 64%. Despite the difference in acidity of HY zeolites having different Si/Al ratios, no prominent effect of the Si/Al ratios on the catalytic performance was observed. This suggests that the catalytic contribution of HY zeolites under the present reaction condition is not strong enough to overcome the spontaneous CH₄ chlorination. When the Pt/HY zeolite catalysts were used, the CH₄ conversion reached further up to 30% but the CH₃Cl selectivity decreased to 60%. Such an enhancement of CH₄ conversion could be attributed to the strong catalytic activity of HY and Pt/HY zeolite catalysts. However, both catalysts induced the radical cleavage of Cl₂ more favorably, which ultimately decreased the CH₃Cl selectivity. Such trade-off relationship between CH₄ conversion and CH₃Cl selectivity can be slightly broken by using Pt/NaY zeolite catalyst that is known to possess Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLP) that are very useful for ionic cleavage of H₂ to H⁺ and H⁻. Similarly, in the present work, Pt/NaY(FLP) catalysts enhanced the CH₄ conversion while keeping the CH₃Cl selectivity as compared to the Pt/HY zeolite catalysts.     

Heteronuclear Alkoxide Compounds Containing Copper and Alkaline Earth Metals

The tetrameric Cu(β-diketonate) alkoxide complex [Cu(thd)(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)]₄ (thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate; 1a ) reacts with the alkaline earth metal alkoxides [M(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂] (M = Ca, 2a ; M = Sr, 2b ; M = Ba, 2c ) to yield the heteronuclear compounds [Cu₂M(thd)₃(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₃] (M = Ca, 6a ; M = Sr, 6b ). These heterometallic complexes were also obtained in the reaction of 1a and the mixed Ca and Sr complexes of β-diketonate-alkoxide [M_x(thd)_y(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)_2x?y] (M = Ca, x = 7, y = 6, 3 ; M = Sr, x = 5, y = 3, 4 ), respectively. In comparison, 1a reacts with the analogous [Ba(thd)(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)] ( 5a ) to yield a[Ba₂Cu₂(thd)₄(OCH₃)₄(HOCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂] species ( 8a .) The in situ prepared mixed-ligand Ba Compounds [Ba(thd)OR)] (R = CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₃, ( 5b ); R = CH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃ ( 5c ) react with the corresponding Cu complexes [Cu(thd)(OR)]_n (R = CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₃), n = 4 ( 1b ); R = CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₃ ( 8b ); R = CH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃ ( 8c ). However, [Cu(hfd)(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)]₄ (hfd = 1,1,1,5,5,5,-hexafluoroacetylacetonate; 1e ) is converted in the presence of 2a–c to the simple metathesis products [M(hfd)₂] (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) and [Cu(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂]. Crystalline [Ba₂Cu₂(hfd)₂(thd)₂(OCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃)₄(HOCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂] ( 9 ) was isolated from the reaction of 1a with in situ prepared [Ba((hfd)OCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃)] ( 5d ) in 2-, methoxyethanol. X-Ray crystallographic structure determinations are reported for 6a , 6b , 8b , and 8c .     

On the Reactivity of the Platina‐β‐diketone [Pt2{(COMe)2H}2(μ‐Cl)2] Towards Ph2PCH2CH2CH2SOxPh (x = 0, 2)

The reaction of the electronically unsaturated platina‐β‐diketone [Pt₂{(COMe)₂H}₂(μ‐Cl)₂] ( 1 ) with Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂SPh ( 2 ) leads selectively to the formation of the acetyl(chlorido) platinum(II) complex (SP‐4‐3)‐[Pt(COMe)Cl(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂SPh‐κP,κS)] ( 4 ) having the γ‐phosphinofunctionalized propyl phenyl sulfide coordinated in a bidentate fashion (κP,κS). In boiling benzene complex 4 undergoes decarbonylation yielding the methyl(chlorido) platinum(II) complex (SP‐4‐3)‐[PtMeCl(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂SPh‐κP,κS)] ( 6 ). However, the reaction of 1 with the analogous γ‐diphenylphosphinofunctionalized propyl phenyl sulfone Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂SO₂Ph ( 3 ) affords the acetyl(chlorido) platinum(II) complex (SP‐4‐4)‐[Pt(COMe)Cl(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂SO₂Ph‐κP)₂] ( 5 ). In boiling benzene complex 5 undergoes a CO extrusion yielding (SP‐4‐4)‐[PtMeCl(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂SO₂Ph‐κP)₂] ( 8 ) whereas in presence of 1 the formation of the carbonyl complex (SP‐4‐3)‐[PtMeCl(CO)(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂SO₂Ph‐κP)] ( 7 ) is observed. Addition of Ag[BF₄] to complex 5 leads to the formation of the cationic methyl(carbonyl) platinum(II) complex (SP‐4‐1)‐[PtMe(CO)(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂SO₂Ph‐κP)₂][BF₄] ( 9 ). All complexes were characterized by microanalysis and NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) and complexes 4 and 6 additionally by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses.

VII is also obtained in the reaction of I with NaN[Si(CH₃)₃]₂. The by-product (CH₃)₃SiO(CH₂)₄I (VIII) could be isolated in both syntheses of VII. All compounds have been characterized by mass spectrometry and infrared, Raman and ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and characterization of organotin complexes with dithiocarbamates and crystal structures of (4‐NCC6H4CH2)2Sn(S2CNEt2)2 and (2‐ClC6H4CH2)2 Sn(Cl)S2CNBz2

Ten organotin derivatives with dithiocarbamates of the formulae (4‐NCC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn(S₂CNEt₂)₂ (1), (4‐NCC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn(S₂CNBz₂)₂ (2), (4‐NCC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn[S₂CN(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₃]₂ (3), (2‐ClC₆H₄CH₂)₂ Sn(S₂CNEt₂)₂ (4), (2‐ClC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn(S₂CNBz₂)₂ (5), (4‐NCC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn(Cl)S₂CNEt₂ (6), (4‐NCC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn(Cl)S₂CNBz₂ (7), (4‐NCC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn(Cl)S₂CN(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₃ (8), (2‐ClC₆H₄CH₂)₂ Sn(Cl)S₂CNEt₂ (9) and (2‐ClC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn(Cl)S₂CNBz₂ (10) have been prepared. All complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR and NMR. The crystal structures of complexes 1 and 10 were determined by X‐ray single crystal diffraction. For complex 1, the central tin atom exists in a skew‐trapezoidal planar geometry defined by two asymmetrically coordinated dithiocarbamate ligands and two 4‐cyanobenzyl groups. In addition, because of the presence of close intermolecular non‐bonded contacts, complex 1 is a weakly‐bridged dimer. In complex 10, the central tin atom is rendered pentacoordinated in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration by coordinating with S atoms derived from the dithiocarbamate ligand. In vitro assays for cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines (MCF‐7, EVSA‐T, WiDr, IGROV and M226) furnished the significant toxicities of the title complexes.

Crystalline Diuranium Phosphinidiide and μ‐Phosphido Complexes with Symmetric and Asymmetric UPU Cores

Reaction of [U(Tren^TIPS)(PH₂)] ( 1 , Tren^TIPS=N(CH₂CH₂NSiPrⁱ₃)₃) with C₆H₅CH₂K and [U(Tren^TIPS)(THF)][BPh₄] ( 2 ) afforded a rare diuranium parent phosphinidiide complex [{U(Tren^TIPS)}₂(μ‐PH)] ( 3 ). Treatment of 3 with C₆H₅CH₂K and two equivalents of benzo‐15‐crown‐5 ether (B15C5) gave the diuranium μ‐phosphido complex [{U(Tren^TIPS)}₂(μ‐P)][K(B15C5)₂] ( 4 ). Alternatively, reaction of [U(Tren^TIPS)(PH)][Na(12C4)₂] ( 5 , 12C4=12‐crown‐4 ether) with [U{N(CH₂CH₂NSiMe₂Bu^t)₂CH₂CH₂NSi(Me)(CH₂)(Bu^t)}] ( 6 ) produced the diuranium μ‐phosphido complex [{U(Tren^TIPS)}(μ‐P){U(Tren^DMBS)}][Na(12C4)₂] [ 7 , Tren^DMBS=N(CH₂CH₂NSiMe₂Bu^t)₃]. Compounds 4 and 7 are unprecedented examples of uranium phosphido complexes outside of matrix isolation studies, and they rapidly decompose in solution underscoring the paucity of uranium phosphido complexes. Interestingly, 4 and 7 feature symmetric and asymmetric UPU cores, respectively, reflecting their differing steric profiles.

Synthesis,kinetic study,and application of Ti[O(CH2)4OCHCH2]4 in ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone and radical polymerization

Ti[O(CH₂)₄OCH?CH₂]₄, used for the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of ε‐caprolactone, was synthesized through the ester‐exchange reaction of titanium n‐propoxide and 1,4‐butanediol vinyl ether, and its chemical structure was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The mechanism and kinetics of Ti[O(CH₂)₄OCH?CH₂]₄‐initiated bulk polymerization of ε‐caprolactone were investigated. The results demonstrate that Ti[O (CH₂)₄OCH?CH₂]₄‐initiated polymerization of ε‐caprolactone proceeds through the coordination‐insertion mechanism, and all the four alkoxide arms in Ti[O (CH₂)₄OCH?CH₂]₄ share a similar activity in initiating ROP of ε‐caprolactone. The polymerization process can be well predicted by the obtained kinetic parameters, and the activation energy is 106 KJ/mol. Then, the rheological method was employed to investigate the feasibility of producing the crosslinked poly(ε‐caprolactone)‐poly (n‐butyl acrylate) network by using Ti[O(CH₂)₄OCH?CH₂]₄ as the ROP initiator. The tensile test demonstrates that the in situ generated crosslinked PCL‐PBA network in PMMA matrix provides the possibility of ameliorating the tensile properties of PMMA. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The hydroxyl radical reaction rate constant and atmospheric transformation products of 2-butanol and 2-pentanol

The relative rate technique has been used to measure the hydroxyl radical (OH) reaction rate constant of +2-butanol (2BU, CH₃CH₂CH(OH)CH₃) and 2-pentanol (2PE, CH₃CH₂CH₂CH(OH)CH₃). 2BU and 2PE react with OH yielding bimolecular rate constants of (8.1±2.0)×10⁻¹² cm³molecule⁻¹s⁻¹ and (11.9±3.0)×10⁻¹² cm³molecule⁻¹s⁻¹, respectively, at 297±3 K and 1 atmosphere total pressure. Both 2BU and 2PE OH rate constants reported here are in agreement with previously reported values [1–4]. In order to more clearly define these alcohols' atmospheric reaction mechanisms, an investigation into the OH+alcohol reaction products was also conducted. The OH+2BU reaction products and yields observed were: methyl ethyl ketone (MEK, (60±2)%, CH₃CH₂C((DOUBLEBOND)O)CH₃) and acetaldehyde ((29±4)% HC((DOUBLEBOND)O)CH₃). The OH+2PE reaction products and yields observed were: 2-pentanone (2PO, (41±4)%, CH₃C((DOUBLEBOND)O)CH₂CH₂CH₃), propionaldehyde ((14±2)% HC((DOUBLEBOND)O)CH₂CH₃), and acetaldehyde ((40±4)%, HC((DOUBLEBOND)O)CH₃). The alcohols' reaction mechanisms are discussed in light of current understanding of oxygenated hydrocarbon atmospheric chemistry. Labeled (¹⁸O) 2BU/OH reactions were conducted to investigate 2BU's atmospheric transformation mechanism details. The findings reported here can be related to other structurally similar alcohols and may impact regulatory tools such as ground level ozone-forming potential calculations (incremental reactivity) [5]. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

使用密度泛函理论研究了Pd掺杂的Ni(111),Ni(100)和Ni(211)表面最稳定的结构,同时考察了干净的和Pd掺杂的Ni表面催化CH₄解离反应的活性.结果表明,由Pd原子取代最外层Ni原子而形成的表面Pd掺杂的Ni表面在热力学上最为稳定,亚表面Pd掺杂的Ni表面在热力学上都不稳定; 而对于表面Pd吸附的Ni表面,只有Pd/Ni(211)表面是稳定的.表面掺杂的Pd/Ni表面上CH₄解离中间体(CH₄,CH₃,CH,C,H)吸附能的计算结果表明,Pd的掺杂在不同程度上减弱了除CH₄之外各解离中间体的吸附能.另外,CH₄和CH均优先在Ni(211)和Pd/Ni(211)台阶面上解离,其次是在比较开阔的Ni(100)和Pd/Ni(100)表面上.Pd的掺杂不同程度上提高了CH₄和CH解离的能垒,对于活性最高的Ni(211)面,Pd的掺杂使得CH脱氢的能垒较CH₄脱氢的高,改变了其速率控制步骤,从而抑制了积碳的生成.
