Phosphorus(III) cations supported by a PNP pincer ligand and sub-stoichiometric generation of P4 from thermolysis of a nickel insertion product

Neutral, mono-, and dicationic phosphorus(III) compounds are accessible with a supporting PNP pincer ligand (PNP = [4-Me-2-iPr(2)P-C(6)H(3))(2)N]). Reaction of (PNP)H with PCl(3) and nBu(3)N furnished (PNP)PCl(2) (1), which displays a highly temperature-dependent structure in solution. Synthesis and characterization by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography of Cl/Br-scrambled derivatives, a monocationic derivative [(PNP)PCl][HCB(11)H(11)] (4), and the dicationic derivatives [(PNP)P][OTf](2) (5), [(PNP)P][B(C(6)F(5))(4)](2) (6), [(PNP)P][B(12)Cl(12)] (7) established that 1 not only undergoes several fluxional processes in solution but also possesses a temperature-dependent ground state structure. Reaction of 1 with a Ni(0) source initially leads to a phosphine-phosphinidene complex, followed by thermal generation of P(4).

Synthesis and reactivity of molybdenum and tungsten bis(dinitrogen) complexes supported by diphosphine chelates containing pendant amines

Molybdenum and tungsten bis(dinitrogen) complexes of the formula M(N(2))(2)(PNP)(2) (M = Mo and W) and W(N(2))(2)(dppe)(PNP), supported by diphosphine ligands containing a pendant amine of the formula (CH(2)PR(2))(2)NR' = P(R)N(R')P(R) (R = Et, Ph; R' = Me, Bn), have been prepared by Mg reduction of metal halides under an N(2) atmosphere. The complexes have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and cyclic voltammetry. Reactivity of the target Mo and W bis(dinitrogen) compounds with CO results in the formation of dicarbonyl complexes.     

Experimental and computational exploration of the dynamic behavior of (PNP)BF2, a boron compound supported by an amido/bis(phosphine) pincer ligand

The diarylamido/bis(phosphine) PNP pincer ligand (2-(i)Pr(2)P-4-MeC(6)H(3))(2)N has been evaluated as a scaffold for supporting a BF(2) fragment. Compound (PNP)BF(2) (6) was prepared by simple metathesis of (PNP)Li (5) with Me(2)SBF(3). NMR spectra of 6 in solution are of apparent C(2) symmetry, suggestive of a symmetric environment about boron. However, a combination of X-ray structural studies, low-temperature NMR investigations, and DFT calculations consistently establish that the ground state of this molecule contains a classical four-coordinate boron with a PNBF(2) coordination environment, with one phosphine donor in PNP remaining "free". Fortuitous formation of a single crystal of (PNP)BF(2)·HBF(4) (7), in which the "free" phosphine is protonated, furnished another structure containing the same PNBF(2) environment about boron for comparison and the two PNBF(2) environments in 6 and 7 are virtually identical. DFT studies on several other diarylamido/bis(phosphine) pincer (PNP)BF(2) systems were carried out and all displayed a similar four coordinate PNBF(2) environment in the ground state structures. The symmetric appearance of the room-temperature NMR spectra is explained by the rapid interconversion between two degenerate four-coordinate, C(1)-symmetric ground-state forms. Lineshape analysis of the (1)H and (19)F NMR spectra over a temperature range of 180-243 K yielded the activation parameters ΔH(?) = 8.1(3) kcal mol(-1) and ΔS(?) = -6.0(15) eu, which are broadly consistent with the calculated values. Calculations indicate that the exchange of phosphine donors at the boron center proceeds by an intrinsically dissociative mechanism.     

Aromatic vs aliphatic C-H cleavage of alkyl-substituted pyridines by (PNPiPr)Re compounds

Both (PNP)Re(H)(4) and (PNP)ReH(cyclooctyne) (PNP(i)(Pr) = ((i)Pr(2)PCH(2)SiMe(2))(2)N) react with alkylpyridines NC(5)H(4)R to give first (PNP)ReH(2)(eta(2)-pyridyl) and cyclooctene and then, when not sterically blocked, (PNP)Re(eta(2)-pyridyl)(2) and cyclooctane. The latter are shown by NMR, X-ray diffraction, and DFT calculations to have several energetically competitive isomeric structures and pyridyl N donation in preference to PNP amide pi-donation. DFT studies support NMR solution evidence that the most stable bis pyridyl structure is one that is doubly eta(2)- with the pyridyl N donating to the metal center. When both ortho positions carry methyl substituents, cyclooctane and the carbyne complex (PNP)ReH(tbd1;C-pyridyl) are produced. Excess 2-vinyl pyridine reacts with (PNP)Re(H)(4) preferentially at the vinyl group, to give 2-ethyl pyridine and the sigma-vinyl complex (PNP)ReH[eta(2)-CH=CH(2-py)]. The DFT and X-ray structures show, by various comparisons, the ability of the PNP amide nitrogen to pi-donate to an otherwise unsaturated d(4) Re(III) center, showing short Re-N distances consistent with the presence of pi-donation.     

Synthesis and characterization of N-[2-P(i-Pr)2-4-methylphenyl]2- (PNP) pincer tin(IV) and tin(II) complexes

N-[2-P(i-Pr)(2)-4-methylphenyl](2)(-) (PNP) pincer complexes of tin(IV) and tin(II), [(PNP)SnCl(3)] (2) and [(PNP)SnN(SiMe(3))(2)] (3), respectively, were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, solution and solid state NMR spectroscopy, and (119)Sn M?ssbauer spectroscopy. Furthermore, (119)Sn cross polarization magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopic data of [Sn(NMe(2))(2)](2) are reported. Compound 2 is surprisingly stable toward air, but attempts to substitute chloride ligands caused decomposition.     

A fluent transition from triiodide, I3-, to tris(trifluoromethyltellurate)(1-), [(TeCF3)3]- --a structural study

A complete series of compounds with the anions [(TeCF3)(3-x)I(x)]- (x = 0-2) had been prepared and characterised in the solid state and by NMR spectroscopic methods. Dynamic behaviour in solution can be assumed for [(TeCF3)3]- and [(TeCF3)2I]-, while in the solid state all three bis(triphenylphosphoranyliden)ammonium (PNP) salts resemble structures found in triiodides. The molecular structures of [PNP][(TeCF3)(3-x)I(x)]- (x = 0-2) are discussed in comparison with [PNP]I3, I2, and Te2(CF3)2. On this basis, the structures of the [(TeCF3)3]- and [(TeCF3)I2]- ions are comparable to symmetric I3- ions, while the [(TeCF3)2I]- ion resembles an asymmetric I3- unit.     

Manganese-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrodebromination of Aryl Bromides with Ethanol

A convenient PNP pincer manganese catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of bromides to corresponding debrominated aryl compounds using ethanol as the hydrogen sources is reported. Importantly, the application of biomass-derived ethanol highlights the sustainability of the methodology. The use of 6-phenyl substituted triazine-based P^iprN⁵P^ipr manganese pincer catalyst allows for the debromination of various aryl bromides with good yields. Notably, the process also occurs with bromides derived from several classes of natural products and bioactive compounds, such as citronellol, diacetone fructose, cholesterol, and vitamin E.

NEMATICIDAL,INSECTICIDAL, ANTIFERTILITY,ANTIFUNGAL AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITIES OF SALICYLANILIDE SULPHATHIAZOLE AND ITS MANGANESE,SILICON AND TIN COMPLEXES

A facile synthesis and studies on the stereochemistry and biochemical aspects of some organosilicon(IV), organotin(IV), and manganese(II) complexes derived from imine having N^∪N^∪O donor system is reported. The imine was prepared by the condensation of salicylanilide with sulphathiazole. This imine reacts with organosilicon(IV)chloride, organotin(IV)chloride, and hydrated manganese(II) chloride to yield compounds having M─O and M←N bonds. The structures of the compounds have been elucidated by physicochemical and spectral (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ²⁹Si NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, and ESR) studies, which clearly point to a trigonal bipyramidal geometry around silicon(IV) and tin(IV), and tetrahedral geometry around manganese(II), as the active lone pair of the nitrogen is also included in the coordination sphere. In the search for better fungicides and bactericides, studies were conducted to assess the growth-inhibiting potential of the synthesized complexes against various pathogenic fungal and bacterial strains. These complexes are highly active against nematode (Meloidogyneincognita) and insect (Trogodermagranarium). The activity will be increased with increasing concentration. These studies demonstrate that the concentrations reached levels that are sufficient to inhibit and kill the pathogens. All compounds have also been found to act as sterilizing agents by reducing the production of sperm in male mice.     

New approach to the chemistry of technetium(V) and rhenium(V) phenylimido complexes: novel [M(NPh)PNP]3+ metal fragments (M = Tc, Re; PNP = aminodiphosphine) suitable for the synthesis of stable mixed-ligand compounds

Ligand-exchange reactions of the aminodiphosphine ligand bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)ethyl]amine hydrochloride (PNHP x HCl) with labile M(NPh)Cl3(PPh3)2 precursors (M = Re, Tc) in the presence of triethylamine yield monocationic phenylimido mer,cis-[M(NPh)Cl2(PNHP)]Cl (M = Re, 1; Tc, 2) intermediate complexes. X-ray analyses show that in both compounds the aminodiphosphine acts as a tridentate ligand dictating a mer,cis arrangement. Two chloride ligands, respectively in an equatorial and in the axial position trans to the linear M-NPh moiety, fill the remaining positions in a distorted-octahedral geometry. The chloride trans to the metal-imido core is labile, and is replaced by an alcoholate group, without affecting the original geometry, as established in mer,cis-[Re(NPh)(OEt)Cl(PNHP)]Cl 4. Otherwise, ligand-exchange reactions involving the aminodiphosphine bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)ethyl]methylamine (PNMeP), in which the central secondary amine has been replaced by a tertiary amine function, or its hydrochloride salt (PNMeP x HCl) give rise to three different species, depending on the experimental conditions: fac,cis-[Re(NPh)Cl2(PNMeP)]Cl 3a, cis,fac-Re(NPh)Cl3(PNMeP) x HCl 3b, and mer,trans-[Re(NPh)Cl2(PNMeP)]Cl 3c, which are characterized in solution by multinuclear NMR studies. The monodentate groups incorporated in these intermediate compounds, either halides and/or ethoxide, undergo substitution reactions with bidentate donor ligands such as catechol, ethylene glycol, and 1,2-aminophenol to afford stable mixed ligand complexes of the type [M(NPh)(O,O-cat)(PNP)]Cl [PNP = PNHP M = Re 5, Tc 6; PNP = PNMeP M = Re 7], [Re(NPh)(O,O-gly)(PNP)]Cl [PNP = PNHP 8, PNMeP 9] and [Re(NPh)(O,N-ap)(PNMeP)]Cl 10. X-ray diffraction analyses of the representative compounds 5 and 8 reveal that the aminodiphosphine switches from the meridional to the facial coordination mode placing the heteroatom of the diphosphine trans to the phenylimido unit and the bidentate ligand in the equatorial plane. Solution-state NMR studies suggest an analogous geometry for 6, 7, 9, and 10. Comparison with similar mixed ligand complexes including the terminal nitrido group is discussed.     

Removal of p-aminophenol and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solution through adsorption on bismuth,lead, and manganese ferrocyanides and their relevance to environmental issues

Removal of p-aminophenol (PAP) and p-nitrophenol (PNP) from aqueous solution have been studied through adsorption on bismuth, lead and manganese ferrocyanides (125 μm British Sieve Standard mesh size) at pH range 1.0–10.0 and room temperature (27 ± 1°C). The progress of adsorption was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of PAP and PNP solutions at their corresponding λ_max = 220 and 330 nm, respectively. At neutral pH, PNP was found to more adsorbed than PAP on all three metal ferrocyanides studied. Manganese ferrocyanide and bismuth ferrocyanide were found to have maximum and minimum adsorption, respectively for both adsorbents. The adsorption followed the Langmuir type of adsorption in the concentration range of 10^?4 to 10^?5 mol/L of PAP and PNP solutions.     

Structural properties and antioxidant activities of polysaccharide from fruit bodies of Pholiota nameko

A polysaccharide named PNP was extracted and purified from Pholiota nameko. The total sugar content of PNP was 95.29% and the molecular weight was 1.89 × 10³ kDa. The structural features of PNP were investigated by the combination of chemical and instrumental analysis such as UV spectrophotometer, specific rotation determination, FT-IR, methylisation analysis and Congo red. The results showed that the optical rotation of PNP was +120° and that it had a triple-helical structure. Besides, PNP was mainly composed of glucose and mannose at the molar ratio of 4.24:1.00. The backbone of PNP was composed of (1→3)-linked-Glc and (1→3)-linked-Man whereas the branches of (1→3,6)-linked- Glc, (1→3,6)-linked-Man and T- Glc. Consistenting with the results of UV–Vis spectra, FT-IR spectroscopy and ¹H NMR, indicated that PNP was a complex of polysaccharides and polyphenols. In vitro antioxidant results suggested that PNP was processed with certain scavenging capacity.     

From Polyhalides to Polypseudohalides: Chemistry Based on Cyanogen Bromide

Pseudohalogens are defined as molecular entities that resemble the halogens in their chemistry. While our understanding of polyhalogen chemistry has increased over the last years, research on polypseudohalogen compounds is lacking. The pseudohalogen BrCN possesses a highly pronounced σ‐hole at the bromine side of the molecule, inducing strong halogen bonding. This allows the synthesis and characterization of new polypseudohalogen anions, as shown by the single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction of [PNP][Br(BrCN)] and [PNP][Br(BrCN)₃]. Both the nearly linear anion [Br(BrCN)]^? and the distorted pyramidal anion [Br(BrCN)₃]^? were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and quantum‐chemical calculations. The behavior of the polypseudohalogen compounds in solution and as room‐temperature ionic liquids (RT‐ILs) using the [NBu₄]⁺ cation was studied by ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy. These types of ILs are capable of dissolving elemental gold and offer themselves as promising compounds in metal recycling.     

Phosphorus(III) Cations Supported by a PNP Pincer Ligand and Sub‐Stoichiometric Generation of P4 from Thermolysis of a Nickel Insertion Product

Reaction of (PNP)H with PCl₃ and nBu₃N furnished (PNP)PCl₂ ( 1 ), which displays a highly temperature‐dependent structure in solution. Synthesis and characterization by NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography of Cl/Br‐scrambled derivatives, a monocationic derivative [(PNP)PCl][HCB₁₁H₁₁] ( 4 ), and the dicationic derivatives [(PNP)P][OTf]₂ ( 5 ), [(PNP)P][B(C₆F₅)₄]₂ ( 6 ), [(PNP)P][B₁₂Cl₁₂] ( 7 ) established that 1 not only undergoes several fluxional processes in solution but also possesses a temperature‐dependent ground state structure. Reaction of 1 with a Ni⁰ source initially leads to a phosphine–phosphinidene complex, followed by thermal generation of P₄.

Monitoring ssDNA Binding to the DnaB Helicase from Helicobacter pylori by Solid‐State NMR Spectroscopy

DnaB helicases are bacterial, ATP‐driven enzymes that unwind double‐stranded DNA during DNA replication. Herein, we study the sequential binding of the “non‐hydrolysable” ATP analogue AMP‐PNP and of single‐stranded (ss) DNA to the dodecameric DnaB helicase from Helicobacter pylori using solid‐state NMR. Phosphorus cross‐polarization experiments monitor the binding of AMP‐PNP and DNA to the helicase. ¹³C chemical‐shift perturbations (CSPs) are used to detect conformational changes in the protein upon binding. The helicase switches upon AMP‐PNP addition into a conformation apt for ssDNA binding, and AMP‐PNP is hydrolyzed and released upon binding of ssDNA. Our study sheds light on the conformational changes which are triggered by the interaction with AMP‐PNP and are needed for ssDNA binding of H. pylori DnaB in vitro. They also demonstrate the level of detail solid‐state NMR can provide for the characterization of protein–DNA interactions and the interplay with ATP or its analogues.

Preparation and sorption studies of polyester microsphere copolymers containing β-Cyclodextrin

Polyester copolymer sorbent materials that incorporate β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) were prepared using water-in-oil (w/o) micro-emulsion conditions at variable β-CD: cross linker mole ratios; where the cross linker units were sebacoyl chloride (SCl) and terephthaloyl chloride (TCl). The copolymers were characterized using TGA, nitrogen adsorption, and NMR/IR spectroscopy. The dye-based sorption properties of the copolymers with p-nitrophenol (PNP) in aqueous solution were evaluated at pH 4.6 and 295 K using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The uptake of PNP varied from 0.221 to 0.352 mmol/g, according to the nature of the cross linker and the copolymer mole ratio. The sorption capacity of SCl-based copolymers exceed that for TCl-based copolymers, and correlate with the relative swelling properties and hydrated surface areas of the sorbent frameworks. ¹H NMR spectroscopy of copolymers with low levels of linker content (i.e. SCl or TCl) indicate dual sorption sites for PNP (i.e. β-CD inclusion sites and non-inclusion (interstitial) linker domains). The existence of dual sorption sites is similarly concluded for copolymers containing higher levels of cross linker. Inclusion complexes are firstly formed between PNP and the β-CD inclusion sites of the copolymer; thereafter, PNP is adsorbed onto the linker domains of the copolymer sorbent framework.
