Molecular structures and reactivities of 1,3-diphthalimidobenzene derivatives

X-ray diffraction analysis of 4,6-di(morpholin-4-yl) and 4,6-di(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy) derivatives of 1,3-diphthalimidobenzene, which are potent reagents in the synthesis of heterocyclic polymers, was carried out. The conjugation between the π-systems of the benzene ring and of the phthalimide and morpholine substituents is distorted due to the rotation of the substituents about the C(Ar)−N bonds. The AMI calculations demonstrated that the hydrogen atoms of the methylene groups are “acidic”, which is favorable for condensation reactions. Steric hindrances to intramolecular condensation were estimated. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1155–1161, June, 1998.

Synthesis and structures of ethoxymethylene derivatives of 1,3-diethoxycyclohexenylium perchlorate

1,3-Diethoxy-4,6-di(ethoxymethylene)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexenylium perchlorate (6a) was synthesized from 1,3-diethoxy-5,5-dimethylcyclohexenylium perchlorate by successive introduction of ethoxymethylene groups. Perchlorate6a was also obtained from dimedone in one preparative step. Compound6a was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The bond lengths in the fragment containing the C(1)–C(4) and C(6) atoms of the six-membered ring of the cation are substantially equalized and close to the C_arom-C_arom bond length. Apparently, this fact indicates that the positive charge is primarily delocalized over the aromatic system. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Syntheses,crystal structures,and DNA-binding properties of two nickel(II) complexes with 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane derivatives

[Ni(obb)(DMF)₂(H₂O)]·(Pic)₂·0.5DMF (1) and [Ni(Etobb)₂]·(Pic)₂·2DMF (2) (obb = 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane, Etobb = 1,3-bis(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane, Pic = picrate) have been synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The structures of both complexes have been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The coordination geometries of 1 and 2 can be described as distorted octahedra. The interaction of the nickel(II) complexes with calf thymus DNA was investigated by electronic absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that 1 and 2 bind to DNA in an intercalation mode, and their binding affinity for DNA follows the order 1 > 2. DNA-binding behaviors can be attributed to the large coplanar aromatic rings in the V-shaped ligand and steric hindrance.

Structural studies of Cu(II) binding to the novel peptidyl derivative of quinoxaline: N-(3-(2,3-di(pyridin-2-yl)quinoxalin-6-yl)alanyl)glycine

The coordination properties of the novel conjugate towards copper ions were investigated. The performed studies exhibited the unusual binding properties of the ligand molecule having two potential strong coordination sites, namely dipeptidic chain and pyridyl nitrogens. On the basis of potentiometric and spectroscopic studies the binding at the low pH values to the aromatic entity is suggested, while the rise of pH (including physiological one) yielded the dimeric head-to-tail complex formation. This stable species possesses three nitrogen donors involved in Cu(II) chelation: N(pirydyl), NH₂ and N⁻(amide).

Syntheses,crystal structures and properties of two cadmium coordination polymers containing bis (2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methane(2-mBIM) and bis (imidazol-1-yl)methane (BIM) ligands

Coordination polymers, {[Cd(2-mBIM)₃](ClO₄)₂} _n (1) and [Cd(BIM)₂(NO₃)₂] _n (2), have been prepared from the reaction of bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methane(2-mBIM) with Cd(ClO₄)₂ and bis(imidazol-1-yl)methane (BIM) with Cd(NO₃)₂ in ethanol and water, respectively. Their structures were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Compound 1 crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group R-3c with a = b = 12.3617(5) Å, c = 38.896(3) Å, γ = 120°, V = 5147.5(5) ų, z = 6. The Cd^II occupies a crystallographic inversion center and is coordinated by six N atoms from six distinct 2-mBIM ligands to form a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Each 2-mBIM is coordinated to two Cd^II cations, linking alternatively four Cd^II cations, resulting in a 32-membered M₄L₄ macrometallacycle. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with a = 14.400(3) Å, b = 9.3894(18) Å, c = 8.6926(17) Å, β = 123.499(2)°, V = 980.1(3) ų, z = 2. The Cd coordinates to four nitrogen atoms from four different BIM and two nitrates to form a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The BIM ligands bridge to form a 1-D infinite double-bridged chain structure with 16-membered M₂L₂ macrometallacyclic structural units.     

Synthesis of 1,3-bis(acetylacetonyloxy)- and 1,3-bis(benzoylacetonyloxy)benzene and their complexation with lanthanide ions

Claisen condensation of 1,3-bis(methoxycarbonylmethoxy)benzene with acetone and acetophenone afforded new chelating ligands consisting of two β-diketonate fragments, viz., 1,3-bis(acetylacetonyloxy)benzene and 1,3-bis(benzoylacetonyloxy)benzene, which are linked to each other through the resorcinol spacer. In the crystal, 1,3-bis(acetylacetonyloxy)benzene, unlike the starting ester, adopts a planar conformation and exists in the enol form. The acidities of these compounds and their complexation with lanthanide ions in aqueous ethanolic solutions were studied by pH-potentiometry. Depending on the concentration conditions and pH, the La³⁺, Gd³⁺, and Lu³⁺ ions form 1 : 1, 1 : 2, or 1 : 3 complexes with bis(β-diketones). The stability of the complexes increases as the atomic number of the lanthanide increases (La³⁺ < Gd³⁺ ≤ Lu³⁺). The complexation constants and selectivity of complexation substantially increase with increasing degree of deprotonation of the ligands, which indicates that both chelate groups of the ligands are simultaneously involved in coordination. The Ph substituents in bis(β-diketone) have a considerable effect on the composition and stability of complexes with lanthanide ions due to additional noncovalent inner-sphere interactions.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
