Methanesulfonates of high-valent metals: syntheses and structural features of MoO2(CH3SO3)2, UO2(CH3SO3)2, ReO3(CH3SO3), VO(CH3SO3)2, and V2O3(CH3SO3)4 and their thermal decomposition under N2 and O2 atmosphere

Oxide methanesulfonates of Mo, U, Re, and V have been prepared by reaction of MoO(3), UO(2)(CH(3)COO)(2)·2H(2)O, Re(2)O(7)(H(2)O)(2), and V(2)O(5) with CH(3)SO(3)H or mixtures thereof with its anhydride. These compounds are the first examples of solvent-free oxide methanesulfonates of these elements. MoO(2)(CH(3)SO(3))(2) (Pbca, a=1487.05(4), b=752.55(2), c=1549.61(5) pm, V=1.73414(9) nm(3), Z=8) contains [MoO(2)] moieties connected by [CH(3)SO(3)] ions to form layers parallel to (100). UO(2)(CH(3)SO(3))(2) (P2(1)/c, a=1320.4(1), b=1014.41(6), c=1533.7(1) pm, β=112.80(1)°, V=1.8937(3) nm(3), Z=8) consists of linear UO(2)(2+) ions coordinated by five [CH(3)SO(3)] ions, forming a layer structure. VO(CH(3)SO(3))(2) (P2(1)/c, a=1136.5(1), b=869.87(7), c=915.5(1) pm, β=113.66(1)°, V=0.8290(2) nm(3), Z=4) contains [VO] units connected by methanesulfonate anions to form corrugated layers parallel to (100). In ReO(3)(CH(3)SO(3)) (P1, a=574.0(1), b=1279.6(3), c=1641.9(3) pm, α=102.08(2), β=96.11(2), γ=99.04(2)°, V=1.1523(4) nm(3), Z=8) a chain structure exhibiting infinite O-[ReO(2)]-O-[ReO(2)]-O chains is formed. Each [ReO(2)]-O-[ReO(2)] unit is coordinated by two bidentate [CH(3)SO(3)] ions. V(2)O(3)(CH(3)SO(3))(4) (I2/a, a=1645.2(3), b=583.1(1), c=1670.2(3) pm, β=102.58(3), V=1.5637(5) pm(3), Z=4) adopts a chain structure, too, but contains discrete [VO]-O-[VO] moieties, each coordinated by two bidentate [CH(3)SO(3)] ligands. Additional methanesulfonate ions connect the [V(2)O(3)] groups along [001]. Thermal decomposition of the compounds was monitored under N(2) and O(2) atmosphere by thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis and XRD measurements. Under N(2) the decomposition proceeds with reduction of the metal leading to the oxides MoO(2), U(3)O(7), V(4)O(7), and VO(2); for MoO(2)(CH(3)SO(3))(2), a small amount of MoS(2) is formed. If the thermal decomposition is carried out in a atmosphere of O(2) the oxides MoO(3) and V(2)O(5) are formed.     

Synthesis of (CH3C(CH2PPh2)3)CoL complexes (L = O2CO,S2CO,O2SO) through metal-assisted CO2, CS2, SO2 oxidation. Crystal structure of (CH3C(CH2PPh2)3)CO(O2SO)

The solution obtained by reduction of [(triphos)CO(μ-Cl)₂Co(triphos)]⁺² (triphos = CH₃C(CH₂PPh₂)₃) with Na/Hg reacts with CO₂, CS₂ and SO₂ to give (triphos)Co(O₂CO), (triphos)Co(S₂CO), and (triphos)Co(O₂SO), respectively. The molecular structure of the last has been established by X-ray difraction.     

Optical constants of HNO3/H2O and H2SO4/HNO3/H2O at low temperatures in the infrared region

The complex index of refraction of liquid HNO3/H2O and H2SO4/HNO3/H2O has been obtained at different temperatures and acid concentrations. FT-IR specular reflectance spectra were obtained for 30, 54, and 64 wt % aqueous HNO3 and for four different H2SO4/HNO3/H2O mixtures in the temperature region from 293 to 183 K. The complex index of refraction was obtained from the reflectance spectra with the Kramers-Kronig transformation. The optical constants of the binary and ternary mixtures vary with the acid concentration and the temperature. The results demonstrate that vibrational bands originating from the sulfate species are more sensitive to changes in temperature than the bands originating from vibrations in the nitrate species; only minor changes in the nitrate vibrational bands are observed as the temperature decreases below 248 K.     

Nitration of fluoroethylenes by nitrating mixture (HNO3+H2O4+SO3)

The nitration of fluoroethylenes with sulfuric-nitric mixtures and added sulfuric anhydride was studied. It was shown that acid fluorides of halogenonitroacetic acids are formed in the nitration of fluoroethylenes containing the fluorochloromethylene fragment, whereas nitroethylfluorosulfates are the main reaction product in the nitration of ethylenes having the difluoromethylene grouping. The structure of the compounds obtained was shown by the data of¹⁹ _F and¹ _H NMR and IR spectroscopy.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2732–2735, December, 1989.     

UV absorption spectra of HO2, CH3O2, C2H5O2, and CH3C(O)CH2O2 radicals and mechanism of the reactions of F and Cl atoms with CH3C(O)CH3

Pulse radiolysis techniques were used to measure the gas phase UV absorption spectra of the title peroxy radicals over the range 215–340 nm. By scaling to σ(CH₃O₂)_{240 nm} = (4.24 ± 0.27) × 10^?18, the following absorption cross sections were determined: σ(HO₂)_{240 nm} = 1.29 ± 0.16, σ(C₂H₅O₂)_{240 nm} = 4.71 ± 0.45, σ(CH₃C(O)CH₂O₂)_{240 nm} = 2.03 ± 0.22, σ(CH₃C(O)CH₂O₂)_{230 nm} = 2.94 ± 0.29, and σ(CH₃C(O)CH₂O₂)_{310 nm} = 1.31 ± 0.15 (base e, units of 10^?18 cm² molecule^?1). To support the UV measurements, FTIR‐smog chamber techniques were employed to investigate the reaction of F and Cl atoms with acetone. The F atom reaction proceeds via two channels: the major channel (92% ± 3%) gives CH₃C(O)CH₂ radicals and HF, while the minor channel (8% ± 1%) gives CH₃ radicals and CH₃C(O)F. The majority (>97%) of the Cl atom reaction proceeds via H atom abstraction to give CH₃C(O)CH₂ radicals. The results are discussed with respect to the literature data concerning the UV absorption spectra of CH₃C(O)CH₂O₂ and other peroxy radicals. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

(H3O)Nd(SO4)2

The crystal structure of oxonium neodymium bis(sulfate), (H₃O)Nd(SO₄)₂, shows a two‐dimensional layered framework assembled from SO₄ tetrahedra and NdO₉ tricapped trigonal prisms. One independent sulfate group makes four S—O—Nd linkages, while the other makes five such connections to generate an unprecedented anhydrous anionic [Nd(SO₄)₂]⁻ layer. To achieve charge balance, H₃O⁺ cations are inserted between adjacent layers where they participate in hydrogen‐bonding interactions with the sulfate O atoms of adjacent layers.     

Photolysis of CH3C(O)CH3 (248 nm, 266 nm), CH3C(O)C2H5 (248 nm) and CH3C(O)Br (248 nm): pressure dependent quantum yields of CH3 formation

The formation of CH(3) in the 248 or 266 nm photolysis of acetone (CH(3)C(O)CH(3)), 2-butanone (methylethylketone, MEK, CH(3)C(O)C(2)H(5)) and acetyl bromide (CH(3)C(O)Br) was examined using the pulsed photolytic generation of the radical and its detection by transient absorption spectroscopy at 216.4 nm. Experiments were carried out at room temperature (298 +/- 3 K) and at pressures between approximately 5 and 1500 Torr N(2). Quantum yields for CH(3) formation were derived relative to CH(3)I photolysis at the same wavelength in back-to-back experiments. For acetone at 248 nm, the yield of CH(3) was greater than unity at low pressures (1.42 +/- 0.15 extrapolated to zero pressure) confirming that a substantial fraction of the CH(3)CO co-product can dissociate to CH(3) + CO under these conditions. At pressures close to atmospheric the quantum yield approached unity, indicative of almost complete collisional relaxation of the CH(3)CO radical. Measurements of increasing CH(3)CO yield with pressure confirmed this. Contrasting results were obtained at 266 nm, where the yields of CH(3) (and CH(3)CO) were close to unity (0.93 +/- 0.1) and independent of pressure, strongly suggesting that nascent CH(3)CO is insufficiently activated to decompose on the time scales of these experiments at 298 K. In the 248 nm photolysis of CH(3)C(O)Br, CH(3) was observed with a pressure independent quantum yield of 0.92 +/- 0.1 and CH(3)CO remained below the detection limit, suggesting that CH(3)CO generated from CH(3)COBr photolysis at 248 nm is too highly activated to be quenched by collision. Similar to CH(3)C(O)CH(3), the photolysis of CH(3)C(O)C(2)H(5) at 248 nm revealed pressure dependent yields of CH(3), decreasing from 0.45 at zero pressure to 0.19 at pressures greater than 1000 Torr with a concomitant increase in the CH(3)CO yield. As part of this study, the absorption cross section of CH(3) at 216.4 nm (instrumental resolution of 0.5 nm) was measured to be (4.27 +/- 0.2) x 10(-17) cm(2) molecule(-1) and that of C(2)H(5) at 222 nm was (2.5 +/- 0.6) x 10(-18) cm(2) molecule(-1). An absorption spectrum of gas-phase CH(3)C(O)Br (210-305 nm) is also reported for the first time.     

Lithiation of the Tin-containing Sulfone Me3SnCH2CH2CH2SO2C6H4CH3-4

The tin-containing sulfide Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃-S-C₆H₅CH₃-4 obtained by photoaddition of 4-toluene- thiol to allyltrimethyltin was oxidized with hydrogen peroxide to synthesize the tin-containing sulfone Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃-SO₂-C₆H₄CH₃-4, the tin and sulfur atoms in which are separated by a trimethylene bribge. Treatment of the sulfone with butyllithium gave a first tin-containing lithium salt having a red-brown color. The exchange reaction of this salt with methyl iodide resulted in formation of two new isomeric tin-containing sulfones Me₃SnCH₂CH₂CH(CH₃)-SO₂-C₆H₄CH₃ and Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃-SO₂-C₆H₄CH₂CH₃ identified by ^1HNMR spectroscopy. The latter result implies that the tin-containing sulfone is lithiated both by the methylene group adjacent to the sulfonyl group and by the toluene methyl group.     

Solid state and solution study of some phosphoramidate derivatives containing the P(O)NHC(O) bifunctional group: Crystal structures of CCl2HC(O)NHP(O)(NCH3(CH2C6H5))2, p-ClC6H4C(O)NHP(O)(NCH3(CH2C6H5))2, CCl2HC(O)NHP(O)(N(CH2C6H5)2)2 and p-BrC6H4C(O)NHP(O)(N(CH2C6H5)2)2

Synthetic methods for several novel phosphoramidate compounds containing the P(O)NHC(O) bifunctional group were developed. These compounds with the general formula R₁C(O)NHP(O)(N(R₂)(CH₂C₆H₅))₂, where R₁ = CCl₂H, p-ClC₆H₄, p-BrC₆H₄, o-FC₆H₄ and R₂ = hydrogen, methyl, benzyl, were characterized by several spectroscopic methods and analytical techniques. The effects of phosphorus substituents on the rotation rate around the P–N_amine bond were also investigated. ¹H NMR study of the synthesized compounds demonstrated that the presence of bulky groups attached to the phosphorus center and electron withdrawing groups in the amide moiety lead to large chemical-shift non-equivalence (Δδ_H) of diastereotopic methylene protons. The crystal structures of CCl₂HC(O)NHP(O)(NCH₃(CH₂C₆H₅))₂, p-ClC₆H₄C(O)NHP(O)(NCH₃(CH₂C₆H₅))₂, CCl₂HC(O)NHP(O)(N(CH₂C₆H₅)₂)₂ and p-BrC₆H₄C(O)NHP(O)(N(CH₂C₆H₅)₂)₂ were determined by X-ray crystallography using single crystals. The coordination around the phosphorus center in these compounds is best described as distorted tetrahedral and the P(O) and C(O) groups are anti with respect to each other. In the compound Br-C₆H₄C(O)NHP(O)(N(CH₂C₆H₅)₂)₂ (with two independent molecules in the unit cell), two conformers are connected to each other via two different N–H?O hydrogen bonds forming a non-centrosymmetric dimer. In the crystalline lattice of other compounds, the molecules form centrosymmetric dimers via pairs of same N–H?O hydrogen bonds. The structure of CCl₂HC(O)NHP(O)(N(CH₂C₆H₅)₂)₂ reveals an unusual intramolecular interaction between the oxygen of CO group and amine nitrogen.     

Syntheses,characterizations and crystal structures of two new complexes, [Co2(CH2 =C(CH3)CO2)4(phen)2(H2O)2] and [Pb2(CH2 =C(CH3)CO2)4(phen)2]

Two new complexes, [Co₂(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₄(phen)₂(H₂O)₂] (1) and [Pb₂(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₄(phen)₂] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (2), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. There are two cocrystallized conformers of [Co(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₂(phen)(H₂O)] in the asymmetric unit of 1 with the Co atoms displaying similar coordination modes. In the asymmetric unit of 2, there exist two crystallographically independent [Pb(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₂(phen)] molecules with the Pb atoms showing completely different coordination geometries. Weak intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking are responsible for the supramolecular assembly and stabilization of the crystal structures of 1 and 2. The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and UV–Vis spectra. The fluorescent properties of 2 are also discussed.     

Saure Sulfate des Neodyms: Synthese und Kristallstruktur von (H5O2)(H3O)2Nd(SO4)3 und (H3O)2Nd(HSO4)3SO4

Acidic Sulfates of Neodymium: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (H₅O₂)(H₃O)₂Nd(SO₄)₃ and (H₃O)₂Nd(HSO₄)₃SO₄ Light violett single crystals of (H₅O₂)(H₃O)₂ · Nd(SO₄)₃ are obtained by cooling of a solution prepared by dissolving neodymium oxalate in sulfuric acid (80%). According to X‐ray single crystal investigations there are H₃O⁺ ions and H₅O₂⁺ ions present in the monoclinic structure (P2₁/n, Z = 4, a = 1159.9(4), b = 710.9(3), c = 1594.7(6) pm, β = 96.75(4)°, R_all = 0.0260). Nd³⁺ is nine‐coordinate by oxygen atoms. The same coordination number is found for Nd³⁺ in the crystal structure of (H₃O)₂Nd(HSO₄)₃SO₄ (triclinic, P1, Z = 2, a = 910.0(1), b = 940.3(1), c = 952.6(1) pm, α = 100.14(1)°, β = 112.35(1)°, γ = 105.01(1)°, R_all = 0.0283). The compound has been prepared by the reaction of Nd₂O₃ with chlorosulfonic acid in the presence of air. In the crystal structure both sulfate and hydrogensulfate groups occur. In both compounds pronounced hydrogen bonding is observed.     

Extraction of HCl,HBr, HNO3, HClO4, H2SO4 and CH3COOH by 4-(5-Nonyl)pyridine and 2-hexylpyridine in benzene and determination of their pKBH+ values

The extraction of HCl, HBr, HNO₃, HClO₄, H₂SO₄ and CH₃COOH into solutions of 4-(5-nonyl)pyridine (NPy) and 2-hexylpyridine (HPy) dissolved in benzene has been studied. The results show that the larger, less basic anions extract better (ClO ₄ ⁻ >CH₃COO⁻≥NO ₃ ⁻ >Br⁻>Cl⁻>HSO ₄ ⁻ ) due to their low aqueous hydration. The ionization constants of NPyH⁺ and HPyH⁺ as determined spectrophotometrically were found to be 5.97±0.06 and 5.94±0.05, respectively, at 25°C.

Unimolecular reactions of the isolated immonium ions CH3CH = NH+C4H9, CH3CH2Ch = NH+C4H9 and (CH3)2C = NH+C4H9

The reactions of ten metastable immonium ions of general structure R¹R²C?NH⁺C₄H₉ (R¹ = H, R² = CH₃, C₂H₅; R¹ = R² = CH₃) are reported and discussed. Elimination of C₄H₈ is usually the dominant fragmentation pathway. This process gives rise to a Gaussian metastable peak; it is interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving ion-neutral complexes containing incipient butyl) cations. Metastable immonium ions ontaining an isobutyl group are unique in undergoing a minor amount of imine (R¹R²C?NH) loss. This decomposition route, which also produces a Gaussian metastable peak, decreases in importance as the basicity of the imine increases. The correlation between imine loss and the presence of an isobutyl group is rationalized by the rearrangement of the appropriate ion-neutral complexes in which there are isobutyl cations to the isomeric complexes containing the thermodynamically more stable tert-butyl cations. A sizeable amount of a third reaction, expulsion of C₃H₆, is observed for metastable n-C₄H₉ ⁺NH?CR¹R² ions; in contrast to C₄H₈ and R¹R²C?NH loss, C₃H₆ elimination occurs with a large kinetic energy release (40–48 kJ mol^?1) and is evidenced by a dish-topped metastable peak. This process is explained using a two-step mechanism involving a 1,5-hydride shift, followed by cleavage of the resultant secondary open-chain cations, CH₃CH⁺ CH₂CH₂NHCHR¹R².     

Substituted N-picolylethylenediamines of the type (ArNHCH2CH2){(2-C5H4N)CH2}NR [R = Me, 4-CH2=CH(C6H4)CH2, (2-C5H4N)CH2] and their transition metal(II) halide complexes

Alkylation of (ArNHCH2CH2){(2-C5H4N)CH2}NH with RX [RX = MeI, 4-CH2=CH(C6H4)CH2Cl) and (2-C5H5N)CH2Cl] in the presence of base has allowed access to the sterically demanding multidentate nitrogen donor ligands, {(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)NHCH2CH2}{(2-C5H4N)CH2}NMe (L1), {(2,6-Me3C6H3)NHCH2CH2}{(2-C5H4N)CH2}NCH2(C6H4)-4-CH=CH2 (L2) and (ArNHCH2CH2){(2-C5H4N)CH2}2N (Ar = 2,4-Me2C6H3 L3a, 2,6-Me2C6H3 L3b) in moderate yield. L3 can also be prepared in higher yield by the reaction of (NH2CH2CH2){(2-C5H4N)CH2}2N with the corresponding aryl bromide in the presence of base and a palladium(0) catalyst. Treatment of L1 or L2 with MCl2 [MCl2 = CoCl2.6H2O or FeCl2(THF)1.5] in THF affords the high spin complexes [(L1)MCl2](M = Co 1a, Fe 1b) and [(L2)MCl2](M = Co 2a, Fe 2b) in good yield, respectively; the molecular structure of reveals a five-coordinate metal centre with bound in a facial fashion. The six-coordinate complexes, [(L3a)MCl2](M = Co 3a, Fe 3b, Mn 3c) are accessible on treatment of tripodal L3a with MCl2. In contrast, the reaction with the more sterically encumbered leads to the pseudo-five-coordinate species [(L3b)MCl2](M = Co 4a, Fe 4b) and, in the case of manganese, dimeric [(L3b)MnCl(mu-Cl)]2 (4c); in 4a and 4b the aryl-substituted amine arm forms a partial interaction with the metal centre while in 4c the arm is pendant. The single crystal X-ray structures of , 1a, 3b.MeCN, 3c.MeCN, 4b.MeCN and 4c are described as are the solution state properties of 3b and 4b.
