Complexes of sterically-hindered diaminophosphinothiolate ligands with Rh(I), Ni(II) and Pd(II)

Two new sterically demanding diaminophosphinothiolate ligands (HL¹ and HL²) have been prepared and the X-ray crystal structure of the Li salt of HL² has been determined. The complex [Pd(L¹)₂] was fully characterized, but in contrast to other phosphinothiolates, complexes with the M(L)₃ stoichiometry could not be prepared. Reaction of LH¹ with Ni(II) led to cleavage of the arythiolate group and isolation of a thiolate bridged dimer, confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure. The Rh(I) complexes [Rh(nbd)L] (L = L¹, L²) were characterized including an X-ray structure.     

Application of the intramolecular wadsworth-emmons reaction to bicyclo[3.3.0]oct - Δ - en - 3 - ones. Synthesis and x-ray structure of a novel

The cyclisation of β,ε-diketophosplionates is shown to provide an expeditious route to bicyclo[3.3.0]oct - Δ^1,2 - en - 3 - ones, which lack substitoents at C-2 and C-5. Application of the method to the parent member 12 results in the formation of a novel dimer 16 whose structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The dimer is thought to derive from 12 by a double Michael addition sequence involving the allyl anion 13 and the enolate 15.     

Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of a Model for Galactose Oxidase

An active-site analog of the radical copper enzyme galactose oxidase has been prepared from a synthetic tripod chelate ((2-pyridylmethyl)[(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)methyl][(2-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-(methylthio)phenyl)methyl]amine, duncamine (dnc)) that binds a single Cu(II) ion through phenolate, thioether-substituted phenolate, and pyridylamine arms. The Cu complex crystallizes as a dinucleated dimer bridged by phenolate oxygens, and the structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Addition of pyridine (or other coordinating bases) dissociates the complex into a monomeric derivative that has been characterized spectroscopically (optical absorption and EPR) and electrochemically. The model provides insight into the properties of a mutant form of galactose oxidase which retains the same copper ligand complement as the wild type protein but lacks catalytic activity.

Synthesis,characterization and crystal structure of 6-ferrocenyl-2,4-dihydroxy-2,4-di(pyridine-2-yl) cyclohexanecarbonyl ferrocene

A novel ferrocene derivative which has four stereo centers has been prepared by an efficient synthetic method based on a solvent-free reaction. The compound was characterized by IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, ESI-MS, single crystal X-ray diffraction and TG analysis. The crystal structure shows that the cyclohexyl group is in a chair conformation and the two ferrocenyl moieties are nonequivalent. There are two intramolecular hydrogen bonds and two intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the compound, which involve two hydroxyls and generate a dimer, respectively. The electrochemical properties of the compound are discussed.

Synthesis of spirocyclic thiazolidinediones using ring-closing metathesis and one-pot sequential ring-closing/cross metathesis

A novel synthetic route to spirocyclic thiazolidinediones is reported by utilizing ring-closing metathesis (RCM). A selective cross metathesis (CM) of N-allyl azaspiro derivatives with different olefins has been demonstrated to prepare substituted azaspiro-[4.4]nonenediones. The X-ray crystal structure of a spirocyclic thiazolidinedione dimer is described, which has been prepared in two steps from thiazolidinedione using a one-pot sequential ring-closing and self metathesis. Cross metathesis proceeds smoothly with both electron rich and poor olefins. The symmetrical bis-thiazolidinedione spirocyclic system can be used as CM coupling partner with olefins. One-pot sequential RCM-CM has been developed for the synthesis of substituted spirocyclic compounds. The methodology allows a quick access to thia-azaspiro-[4.4]nonene and -[4.5]decene-dione ring systems from readily available starting materials which are not otherwise accessible.     

Synthesis of a symmetrical octamethyl-substituted cucurbituril with a dimethyl-substituted glycoluril dimer

A symmetrical octamethyl-substituted cucurbituril has been synthesized in a controlled manner by using a dimer of dimethyl-substituted glycoluril, which was in turn synthesized under formaldehyde-deficient conditions. The dimer of dimethyl-substituted glycoluril and the symmetrical octamethyl-substituted cucurbituril have been characterized by NMR spectrometry, ESI mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure of the dimer of dimethyl-substituted glycoluril is notable because it constitutes a useful new building block that could permit the formation of such cucurbit[n]urils with substituents in certain positions or with limited numbers of methine groups on their backbones.     

Unprecedented π···π interaction between an aromatic ring and a pseudo-aromatic ring formed through intramolecular H-bonding in a bidentate Schiff base ligand: crystal structure and DFT calculations

A combination of a single crystal X-ray diffraction study and density functional theory calculations has been applied to a bidentate Schiff base compound to elucidate different cooperative non-covalent interactions involved in the stabilization of the keto form over the enol one in the solid state. The single crystal X-ray structure reveals a remarkable supramolecular assembly of the keto form through a cyclic hydrogen bonded dimeric motif. The most interesting feature in the supramolecular assembly is the formation of a 'dimer of dimer' motif by π···π, CH···π and N···O/O···O interactions in which the π···π interaction involving the aromatic phenyl ring and the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded pseudo-aromatic ring of the keto form lying just above or below the phenyl ring of the other dimer seems to be unprecedented. The optimized geometry of the hydrogen bonded dimeric motif of the keto form of the organic molecule has been obtained by DFT calculations and agrees very well with that found within the crystalline state. The X-ray crystallographic geometry of the 'dimer of dimer' has also been computed, which shows that in the HOMO, the π electrons are localized in the phenyl rings away from each other, while in the LUMO, there is a strong π-π interaction between the phenyl ring of one dimer with the pseudo-aromatic ring of another dimer with an energy estimated to be 7.95 kJ mol(-1). Therefore, on HOMO → LUMO excitation there is localization of π electrons in the central part of the complex moiety which plays a stabilizing role of the dimer of dimer motif in the solid state.     

Preparation et etude des oligomeres du styrene

Dicarbanionic oligomers of styrene and α-methylstyrene, as well as the corresponding protonated species, have been prepared and studied in tetrahydrofuran. The molar extinction coefficient and the ionic dissociation constant of the dianionic dimers have been determined at 25°. The structure of the α-methylstyrene oligomers is identical to that observed by Richards and Williams; the styrene oligomers, isolated for the first time, show a symmetrical structure for the dimer and the tetramer, implying a higher reactivity for the styryl dianionic dimer than for the trimer dianionic species.     

First enantiopure phosphapalladacycle with planar chirality. X-Ray study of the racemic dimer and (Spl,SCSN)-diastereomer of its prolinate derivative

The first P,C-cyclopalladated complex with planar chirality was prepared by direct cyclopalladation of prochiral di-tert-butyl(ferrocenylmethyl)phosphine. Resolution of the racemic dimer was achieved through separation of its diastereomeric (S)-prolinate derivatives. The palladacycle structure was confirmed by the ¹H NMR spectra of the dimer and its triphenylphosphine adduct and an X-ray diffraction study of the racemic dimeric complex. The absolute configuration of the planar chirality was determined by an X-ray diffraction investigation of one of two diastereomers of the (S)-prolinate derivative.

Bis(dimethylamino)porphyrazines: synthetic, structural, and spectroscopic investigations

The synthesis and isolation of unsymmetrical porphyrazines bearing two, four, and six bis-(dimethylamino) functionalities has been achieved via the base-catalyzed cross-condensation of 1,2-dicyanobenzene 8 and bis(dimethylamino)maleonitrile 7. In addition, the benzo-fused hexaaminoporphyrazine dimer 10 was prepared from condensation of dinitrile 7 (in excess) with benzenebis(1,3-diiminopyrroline) 9. Electrochemical studies reveal that all porphyrazines may be readily oxidized. The X-ray structures of porphyrazines 2b and 5a and the cis isomer 3a are presented. The latter is the first structure of a porphyrazine having a cis-type substitution pattern. The extended pi-conjugation in dimer 10 causes a approximately 100 nm red-shifted Q-band in the electronic absorption spectrum.

Derivatives of (2R)-N-Glyoxylbornane-10,2-sultam and Their Use as auxiliaries in the diastereoselective spirocyclization of 2-substituted tryptamines

A crude hydrate 6 and a crystalline hemiacetal 7 of glyoxylamide 4 were prepared from crotonamide 5 (Scheme 2). Particularly hemiacetal 7 , but also 6 and the ‘dimer’ 8 (obtained from 7 ) may serve as homochiral auxiliaries. The structure of 8 was determined by X-ray analysis. By arenesulfonyl halides, tryptimines 12–14 of 4 were diastereoselectively transformed into spirotricycles 15–17 and 19 .     

Perchloro-2,5,8-triazaphenalenyl radical

[reaction: see text] The unusually stable perchloro-2,5,8-triazaphenalenyl radical 1 and its twisted dechlorinated dimer 2 were synthesized and characterized by ESR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The X-ray structure of dimer 2 shows that the double bond connecting the two triazaphenalene systems is strongly twisted. Dimer 2 has a dramatic color shift from the solid state to solution, which may be due to a change of the twisting angle between both states.     

Synthesis,characterization, and crystal structure of [Ni(dap(A)<Subscript>2</Subscript>)]<Subscript>2</Subscript> (dap(AH)<Subscript>2</Subscript>: 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(anthraniloyl hydrazone))—a molecule possessing an infinite double helical chain in the solid state

Anthraniloyl hydrazide (AH) contains two −NH₂ groups, one of them is attached to the aromatic ring and the other is the hydrazinic, −NH₂. It is found that only the later reacts with the carbonyl compounds to form Schiff bases, while the former remains inert. The reasons behind this difference in reactivity are analyzed on the basis of semi-empirical calculations, which show that the lone pair of the ring −NH₂ is considerably delocalized over the ring, resulting in an accumulation of a positive charge on this particular nitrogen. Ni(II) complex of 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(anthraniloyl hydrazone) has been prepared and characterized by various physico-chemical methods. The structure of the complex was determined by X-ray crystallography. It was found that in the solid state, the compound exist as a dimer, and two coordinated ligand moieties form a double helix around the two metal ions. H-bonding then results in extension of double helix to an infinite chain.     

The Synthesis of a Novel Strained Diyneparacyclophane and Its Dimer by Metal-Mediated Coupling

Relieve strain with a twist! Synthesis of the paracyclophane 1 and its dimer 2 employed a sequence of metal-mediated couplings. The X-ray analysis of 2 revealed a helical twist inherent in this structure, which created extended arms, that trapped a molecule of solvent. A carboxylic acid derivative of 1 was also prepared, and its structure indicated the diyne rod moiety of 1 is distorted more than in analogous compounds.
