Synthesis and modification of oligo(aryloxycyclotriphosphazenes) based on 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl-2,2-propane

Oligo(aryloxyphosphazenes) are synthesized on the basis of diphenylolpropane and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene via the phenolate method. Corresponding functional derivatives are obtained through treatment of the oligomers with methacryloyl chloride, glycidyl methacrylate, and epichlorohydrin. GPC data indicate that modification is accompanied by an increase in the molecular mass of the oligomers. Epoxidation of a specially synthesized hexaallyloxy derivative of oligo(aryloxycyclotriphosphazene) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid proceeds incompletely to yield an oligomer with a content of epoxy groups below 6%. All of the compounds are characterized with the use of ³¹P and ¹H NMR spectroscopy.

Synthesis and structure of 1,1′-bis(pentafluorophenyl)tetrahydrodigermane

Dehydrogenation of pentafluorophenylgermane in the presence of catalytic amounts of a Wilkinson complex, certain Rh^I ortho-benzosemiquinolate complexes, or (Ph₃P)₄Pt leads to tetrahydrodigermane, C₆F₅H₂GeGeH₂C₆F₅. X-ray analysis has confirmed thetrans-arrangement of the C₆F₅-cycles at the Ge atoms. The Ge-Ge bond length is 2.394(1) Å. The doublet pattern of the band due to the Ge-H bonds (v 2090 and 2104 cm^–1) in the IR spectrum is probably associated with nonequivalence of the hydrogen atoms in the molecule.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and properties of new functionalized poly(imides) based on 1,1-bis(4-aminophenyl)-1-z{4′-bis(4′’-bromophenyl)amino}phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethane

A new aromatic diamine, 1,1-bis(4-aminophenyl)-1-{4′-bis(4″-bromophenyl)amino}phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethane, is synthesized. Its interaction with various dianhydrides of aromatic carboxylic acids via high-temperature polycondensation yields a number of new functionalized poly(imides) combining high thermal and mechanical characteristics with solubility in organic solvents. The values of T _g vary from 208 to 230°C, and temperatures corresponding to 10% weight loss fall within the intervals 330–370 and 550–660°C (in air and argon, respectively). Spectroelectrochemical characteristics of poly(imides) are studied by cyclic voltammetry and UV-VIS spectrometry. Poly(imides) exhibit high reversible stability of electrochromic properties, and their color changes from colorless (the neutral form) to green (the oxidized form) as the applied potential is varied from 0 to 1.25 V.     

Synthesis and spectral analysis of alkyl-substituted 3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethenes)

Four new alkyl-substituted 3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethene) dihydrobromides containing from 4 to 10 alkyl substituents were synthesized. In a highly alkylated ligand of these substances one of the hydrogen atoms of the 3,3′-methylene spacer was substituted with a phenyl group. The compounds obtained were studied by IR, ¹H NMR, electron absorption, and fluorescent spectroscopy. The increased alkylation degree of pyrroles and the introduction of an aryl substituent in the 3,3′-spacer causes a significant high-frequency shift of the N-H stretching vibrations in the IR spectra, an upfield shift of the NH-proton signals in 1H NMR spectra, a decrease in the auxochromic effects of protons on the aromatic system of chromophore in the composition of salts. The red shift of maximum of the strong band in electron absorption spectra and the emission spectra of compounds in DMF, DMSO, C₅H₅N, C₆H₆, and CHCl₃ was established. The salts obtained are stable in benzene and chloroform, while in electron-donor solvents the irreversible processes of solvolytic dissociation of salts to free organic base and HBr take place.

Construction of two interpenetrating coordination networks based on 4,4′-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl-methyl)biphenyl and effect of carboxylic acids

To investigate the construction of interpenetrating coordination networks and the effect of ligands, [Zn(bimb)(bdc)]·H₂O (1) and [Zn(bimb)(Hbtc)]·H₂O (2) [bimb?=?4,4′-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl-methyl)biphenyl; H₂bdc?=?1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid; H₃btc?=?1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid] were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, Powder X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. Complex 1 shows a 3-D uoc type topology with twofold interpenetration. However, 2 exhibits a different 2-D self-penetrating network owing to hydrogen bonds of Hbtc between the two interpenetrating sql sheets, indicating that different carboxylic ligands could affect the interpenetration structures. Photoluminescence of bimb and the two complexes are also studied.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of two Co(II) coordination polymers based on 4,6-bis(4-methylbenzoyl)isophthalic acid and 4,4′-bipyridine

Two coordination complexes, [Co₂L₂(4,4′-bpy)₂(H₂O)₄]?·?6H₂O (1) and [CoL(4,4′-bpy)] (2) (H₂L?=?4,6-bis(4-methylbenzoyl)isophthalic acid and 4,4′-bpy?=?4,4′-bipyridine), have been synthesized with the same starting materials under conventional and hydrothermal condition, respectively. Their structures have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis. Complex 1 features a 2-D sheet structure (space group C2/c) with (4,4) grid units. The non-covalent interactions (O–H?·?·?·?O, C–H?·?·?·?π, and weak π??·?·?·?π interactions) extend 1 into a 3-D supramolecular network. Complex 2 displays a (3,5)-connected network (space group P 1) with a (4²?·?6)(4²?·?6⁸) topology.

To further explore the coordination possibilities of naphthalene-based carboxylic acids, a Zn^II coordination polymer, [Zn₃(L)₆(bipy)₂] _n (1), with bulky 2-naphthol-5-carboxylate (L) and bridging 4,4′-bipyridine (bipy), was synthesized and characterized. Structural analysis reveals that 1 is a 1-D polymeric chain with trinuclear units as nodes, which are further extended via interchain secondary interactions, such as O–H ··· O hydrogen-bonding and aromatic π ··· π stacking interactions, to form an overall 3-D framework. Complex 1 exhibits strong solid-state luminescence emission at room temperature, mainly originating from intraligand π→π* transition of L.

Synthesis and charge transfer interactions of cyclobis(4,4′-azopyridinium-p-phenylene)

A new tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis(4,4′-azopyridinium-p-phenylene) (2.4PF₆), was synthesized via template-directed synthesis and characterized by MS and NMR spectroscopy. For the preparation of π-electron-deficient 2.4PF₆, the use of π-electron-rich templates such as 1,4-bis[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]-benzene (4) and 1,5-bis[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]naphthalene (5) enhanced the cyclophane formation in 17 and 19% yields, respectively. ¹H NMR spectra of the reaction mixture revealed that the cyclophane precursor 1.2PF₆ formed supramolecular assembling complexes with hydroquinone derivatives 4 and 5 before the ring formation. The intermolecular charge transfer interaction and the stability constants (K_a) of complexes generated between the electron-acceptor 2.4PF₆ and electron-donors 1,4-dimethoxybenzene 3, 4, and 5 were evaluated using UV-vis. spectroscopy and spectroscopic titration. The absorption bands attributable to CT interactions were centred at 580 nm for 3, 635 nm for 4, and 646 nm for 5, with stability constants of 17 ± 2, 2100 ± 200, and 2400 ± 300, respectively.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of cyclotris-(4,4′-thiodiphenylene ketone)

The side reaction of macrocyclization that occurs during the synthesis of poly-(1,4-phenylenesulfide ketone) by polycondensation of a 4,4-dihalobenzophenone with sodium sulfide was studied. It was found that the major product of this reaction is a cyclic trimer, cyclotris-(4,4"-thiodiphenylene ketone) (1). Despite the fact that ketone bridges are more rigid than sulfide bridges, the yield of the macrocycle is rather high, as it is in the synthesis of poly-(1,4-phenylenesulfide), and reaches 20% under high dilution conditions. The structure of 1 was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis (R = 0.069 on 3138 reflections). Macrocycle 1 is strongly flattened in the crystal; the conformation observed is determined by the packing, since stereochemical analysis indicates high flexibility of the macrocycle. The solvate acetone molecules incorporated in the crystal are disordered, nevertheless, they are strongly fixed in the cavities and channels of the crystal structure.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethenes) as new chelating ligands: Synthesis and spectral properties

Hydrobromides of three new alkyl-substituted tetrapyrrole ligands with an open chain, in which the dipyrrolylmethene fragments are linked by a CH₂-spacer at the 3,3′-pyrrole carbon atoms, were synthesized and studied by IR, ¹H NMR, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. As compared to the 2,2′ isomers (alkyl derivatives of biladiene-a,c) and monomers (2,2′-, 2,3′-, and 3,3′-dipyrrolylmethenes, the effect of structural factors is manifested in a considerable (up to 19–31 nm) bathochromic shift of the strong band in the electronic spectrum, an increase in the N-H stretching vibration frequency in the IR spectra (by more than 30 cm^?1), and a decrease in the stability of 3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethene) salts. The solvent effect is manifested in small changes in the quantitative characteristics of the electronic absorption spectra of 3,3′-tetrapyrrole hydrobromides in C₆H₆, CCl₄, CH₂Cl₂, CHCl₃, and alcohols. In DMF, DMSO, and C₅H₅N, the salts undergo solvolytic dissociation to the free ligands and HBr, which accelerates in dilute solutions (<10^?4 M) and with an increase in the electron-donor power of the solvent. The auxochromic effects of protons in the electronic absorption spectra of the salts, compared to ligands, were estimated quantitatively.
