Large pKa shifts of alpha-carbon acids induced by copper(II) complexes

A series of synthetic receptors (4-6) incorporating metal ions, specifically copper(II), were examined for their ability to enhance the acidity of active methylene compounds. The copper(II) complexes were observed to reduce the pKa of 1,3-diketone carbon acids in acetonitrile by as much as 12 pKa units. The relatively large pKa reduction achieved by the complex is attributed to the electrostatic interaction between the anionic pi system of the enolate and the copper(II) ions. The cage structure and hydrogen bonding sites in receptors 4 and 5 lead to a very modest further enhancement of the acidity relative to that with 6. This study provides insight into the way in which metalloenzymes stabilize an enolate intermediate.     

Review: structural diversity in organotin(IV) dithiocarboxylates and carboxylates

Organotin(IV) complexes are known for their outstanding structural diversity and applications. Organotin(IV) carboxylates and dithiocarboxylates form an important class of organotin(IV) compounds. The structural diversity of these compounds emanates from several features including flexibility in coordination geometries, coordination numbers, and versatility of the ligands to engage in different modes of chelation from monodentate to bidentate. Triorganotin(IV) complexes with various ligands mostly demonstrate tetrahedral or trigonal bipyramidal symmetry with some distortions, while diorganotin(IV) and chlorodiorganotin(IV) complexes have variation of geometries and coordination numbers. Some monoorganotin(IV) complexes have also been reported with pentagonal bipyramidal geometries.     

(o-Hydroxyphenyl)methylphosphonic acids: Synthesis and potentiometric determinations of their pKa Values

(o-Hydroxyphenyl)methylphosphonic acids are readily obtained from o-(bromomethyl)- or o-(hydroxymethyl)phenols and trialkyl phosphites. Subsequent hydrolysis leads to the corresponding phosphonic acids. For a series of such compounds, the pK_a values have been determined by potentiometry. Their dependence on additional substituents in the aromatic ring is discussed in terms of electronic and steric effects.     

Structures of polychlorinated naphthalenes and oxynaphthalenes and their13C NMR chemical shifts

The increment scheme for calculating chemical shifts of polysubstituted naphthalenes is based on 1- and 2-substituted heterosubgraphs which describe the main part of the substituent effect. The influence of several substituents on¹³C NMR chemical shifts have been described by two-particle increments corresponding to 1,2- and 2,3-ortho-disubstituted heterosubgraphs (the steric interaction of substituents in the same ring) and also to 1,4-conjugation of the substituents. Conjugation of two benzene rings required the introduction of a two-particle 1,8-heterosubgraph to the increment system. The systems of two-particle increments were obtained for polychlorinated naphthalenes, oxynaphthalenes, and polychlorinated oxynaphthalenes. Predicted¹³C NMR spectra of polychlorinated naphthalenes not included in the increment analysis proved to be in good agreement with independent measurements.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The study of the thermal dehydration of the compounds CuX2.nH₂O, where X^– were formate, salicylate or phtalate anions, was performed, including the observations of structural changes of compounds during their decomposition. It is shown that the dehydration of copper(II) formate tetra- and dihydrates is accompanied by significant changes in the bonding of the formato groups and remaining water molecules. Two structurally different modifications of Cu(HCOO)₂.2H₂O were prepared, the structure differences are clearly demonstrated in their decomposition stoichiometry. The dehydration of copper formate hydrates was found to be controlled by chemical reaction on the phase boundary. The dehydration of the copper salicylate tetrahydrate and copper phtalate monohydrate is accompanied by the structural changes of the whole compounds, as well, however these processes are diffusion or nucleation controlled.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die thermische Dehydratation der Verbindungen CuX₂.nH₂O mit dem Formiat-, Salicylat- und Phthalatanion als X^– unter gleichzeitiger Beobachtung eventueller Strukturveränderungen dieser Verbindungen während der Dehydratation untersucht. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Dehydratation von Kupfer(II)-formiat Tetrabzw. Dihydrat von einer eindeutigen Veränderung der Bindungsverhältnisse der Formiatgruppen und der verbleibenden Wassermoleküle begleitet wird. Es wurden zwei strukturell verschiedene Modifikationen von Cu(HCOO)₂.2H₂O hergestellt, die Strukturunterschiede zeigen sich deutlich in der Stöchiometrie ihrer Zersetzung. Die Dehydratation von Kupferformiathydraten wird durch die chemische Reaktion an der Phasengrenze kontrolliert. Die Dehydratation von Kupfersalicylat Tetrahydrat und Kupferphthalat Monohydrat wird von einer Strukturveränderung des ganzen Moleküles begleitet, unabhängig davon, ob der Vorgang durch die Diffusion oder Kernbildung bestimmt wird.

     

The relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The paper presents the results of a study of M ₂ ^I M ^II(SO₄)₂ compounds withM ^I= K, Rb, Cs or Tl, andM ^II=Cu or Ni, in the interval from room temperature to the melting temperature. All the compounds studied show endo- or exothermic excursions in their DTA curves, corresponding to phase transitions connected with colour changes of the compounds. For M ₂ ^I Cu(SO₄)₂, whereM ^I is K or Tl, several modifications could be prepared at laboratory temperature, probably distortion isomers. No modifications of this type could be prepared, however, for M ₂ ^I Ni(SO₄)₂ compounds.

The relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The paper reports an attempt to correlate the structures of hydrates of copper(II) sulphate with some characteristic features of the kinetics of their thermal decompositions. Non-isothermal thermogravimetric measurements were employed to obtain values of experimental activation energy and entropy for the dehydration of CuSO₄ · 5 H₂O, CuSO₄ · 3 H₂O and CuSO₄ · H₂O. The values ofE ^* andΔS ^* for the dehydration of CuSO₄ · 3 H₂O were found to be only little affected by the mode of preparation of this compound. On the other hand, the values ofE ^* andΔS ^* for the dehydration of CuSO₄ · ·H₂O are strongly dependent on whether this compound was prepared by thermal decomposition of CuSO₄ · 5 H₂O or CuSO₄ · 3 H₂O, or by crystallization from solution. As regards the crystalline hydrates of copper(II) sulphate, the greatest energetic hindrance for dehydration was observed for CuSO₄ · 3 H₂O. The experimental results are also discussed with respect to the present opinions concerning the possibilities of using thermal analyses to obtain information on the relationship between the structures and reactivities of solids.     

The relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The paper presents the results of a study of the course of thermal decomposition of complexes Cu(NCO)₂L₂ and Cu(LNCO)₂, withL=pyrazole, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, 3,4,5-trimethylpyrazole and indazole. The DTA curves of Cu(NCO)₂L₂ show exothermic excursions somewhat below the decomposition temperatures, corresponding to an inner complex nucleophilic addition of a carbon atom (from an NCO group) to the imine nitrogen atom of a pyrazole ligand. In this reaction the carbamoylpyrazolate anion is formed, coordinated to Cu(II). For these reactions the DSC method yielded the followingH values: –12.80 kJ mol^–1 (L=pyrazole), –8.15 kJ mol^–1 (L=3,5-dimethylpyrazole), –19.49 kJ mol^–1 (L=3,4,5-trimethylpyrazole) and –11.59 kJ mol^–1 (L=indazole). The course of thermal decomposition for Cu(NCO)₂L₂ after the nucleophilic addition is the same as for Cu(LNCO)₂. The structure differences between the distortion isomers of Cu(NCO)₂L₂ and Cu(LNCO)₂ were manifested in the decomposition temperatures and, in some cases, also in the stoichiometry of the decomposition reactions.

Zusammenfassung Der Verlauf der thermischen Zersetzung der Komplexe Cu(NCO)₂L₂ und Cu(LNCO)₂ mitL= Pyrazol, 3,5-Dimethylpyrazol, 3,4,5-Trimethylpyrazol und Indazol wurde untersucht. Die DTA-Kurven von Cu(NCO)₂L₂ zeigen etwas unterhalb der Zersetzungstemperaturen exotherme Effekte, die einer inneren komplexen nukleophilen Addition eines Kohlenstoffatoms (von einer NCO-Gruppe) an das Iminstickstoffatom eines Pyrazol-Liganden entsprechen. In dieser Reaktion wird das an Cu(II) koordinativ gebundene Carbamoylpyrazolat-Anion gebildet. Für diese Reaktionen wurden mit der DSC-Methode folgendeH-Werte erhalten: –12,80 kJ· mol^–1 (L= Pyrazol), –8,15 kJ·mol^–1 (L= 3,5-Dimethylpyrazol), –19,49 kJ·mol^–1 (L=3,4,5-Trimethylpyrazol) und –11,59 kJ·mol^–1 (L= Indazol). Nach der nukleophilen Addition zeigt Cu(NCO)₂L₂ den gleichen thermischen Zersetzungsverlauf wie Cu(LNCO)₂. Die Strukturunterschiede zwischen den Distortionsisomeren von Cu(NCO)₂L₂ und Cu(LNCO)₂ manifestieren sich in der Zersetzungstemperatur und, in einigen Fällen, auch in der Stöchiometrie der Zersetzungsreaktion.

The relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The thermal dehydration of the compounds M ₂ ^I [M^II(H₂O)₆](SeO₄)₂, where M^I=NH₄, K, Rb, Cs and Tl, and M=Cu and Ni, was studied in order to correlate the course of the decomposition with the known crystal structures. It was found that the stoichiometry of the reactions is the same as that established for the analogous sulphato compounds of Cu(II) and Ni(II), respectively. Because of the discrepancies between the room-temperature crystal structures and the observed decomposition stoichiometries, high-temperature powder diffractograms were taken. These indicated structural changes of the copper(II) compounds during heating. The powder patterns for different structure changes were calculated and compared with the experimental ones. It was shown that during the heating two axial CuH₂O bonds are shortened and two equatorial bonds are lengthened. The observed decomposition stoichiometry is compatible with the formation of four nearly equal Cu-H₂O bonds. The activation energies (E^*) and pre-exponential factors (log A) for the first dehydration reaction of the Cu(II) compounds display the following sequence of M^I: Tl > Rb > NH₄ > K, and they are the higher, the shorter the split equatorial Cu(II) bonds. For the compounds of Ni(II) the sequence of E^* and log A values is K > Tl > NH₄ > Rb > Cs.

Zusammenfassung Zur Aufklärung des Zusammenhanges zwischen dem Zersetzungsweg und der bekannten Kristallstruktur wurde die thermische Dehydration der Verbindungen M ₂ ^I [M^II(H₂O)₆](SeO₄)₂ mit M^I=NH₄, K, Rb, Cs and Tl sowie mit m^II=Cu und Ni untersucht. Man fand für diese Reaktion die gleiche Stöchiometrie wie für die analogen Sulfatverbindungen von Cu(II) bzw. Ni(II). Wegen des Widerspruches zwischen der Kristallstruktur bei Raumtemperatur und der festgestellten Stöchiometrie der Zersetzungsreaktion wurden auch Pulverdiffraktionsaufnahmen bei höheren Temperaturen angefertigt. Bei Cu(II)-Verbindungen konnte während des Erhitzens eine Strukturänderung festgestellt werden. Für verschiedene Strukturänderungen wurden Pulveraufnahmen berechnet und mit den experimentellen verglichen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, da sich während des Erhitzens zwei axiale Cu-H₂O-Bindungen verkürzen und zwei äquatoriale Bindungen strecken. Die beobachtete Zersetzungsstöchiometrie entspricht der Bildung von vier anänhernd gleichen Cu-H₂O-Bindungen. Die Aktivierrungsenergie (E^*) und der präexponentielle Faktor (log A) und der ersten Dehydratationsreaktion der Cu(II)-Verbindungen sinken in folgender Reihenfolge für M^I:Tl, Rb, NH₄, K und sind umso größer, je kürzer die gespaltenen äquatorialen Cu(II)-Bindungen sind. Für Ni(II)-Verbindungen nehmen E^* und log A in folgenden Reichenfolge ab: K, Tl, NH₄, Rb, Cs.

     

The relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The structures of compounds M ₂ ^I M^II(SEO₄)₂ (M^I=K, Tl; M^II=Cu and Ni), were studied using IR, electronic and EPR spectra. The results indicate a hexacoordination of both central atoms, and a bridging function of selenato groups, the mode of their coordination varies with M^I and M^II. The compound Tl₂Cu(SeO₄)₂ was prepared also in the amorphous glassy form, although with partial decomposition. It is presumed that in the homogeneous smaragd-green material -Cu-O-Cu-, -Cu-OSeO₂-Cu- and -Cu-OSeO₃-Cu- bridges are present simultaneously. The course of the thermal decomposition of the studied compounds depends on the nature of the M^I and M^II cations. According to powder X-ray patterns, the decomposition products do not contain individual oxides. Nearly complete removal of selenium was observed in the decomposition of hydrated ammonium double selenates of Ni(II) and Cu(II).

Zusammenfassung Mittels IR-, Elektronen- und EPR-Spektren wurden die Strukturen der Verbindungen M ₂ ^I M^II (SeO₄)₂ mit M^I=K und Tl sowie M^II=Cu and Ni bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine Hexakoordination beider Zentralatome und eine Brückenfunktion der Selenatgruppen, deren Koordination sich mit M^I und M^II ändert. Die Verbindung Tl₂Cu(SeO₄)₂ wurde, wenn auch unter geringen Zerfalles, auch in einer amorphen Glasform hergestellt. Es wird angenommen, daß in den Smaragdgrün-Stoffen gleichzeitig-Cu-O-Cu-, -Cu-OSeO₂-Cu- und -Cu-OSeO₃-Cu- Brücken vorkommen. Der Verlauf der thermischen Zersetzung der untersuchten Verbindungen hängt von der Art der M^I und M^II-Kationen ab. In Bezugnahme auf Röntgenpulverdiffraktionsaufnahmen enthalten die Zersetzungsprodukte keine getrennten Oxide. Beim Zerfall von hydratierten Ammoniumdoppelselenaten von Ni(II) und Cu(II) wurde eine fast vollständige Abgabe von Selen beobachtet.

Spectroscopic and X‐ray structural characterization of new polymeric organotin(IV) carboxylates and their in vitro antifungal activities: Part II

The reactions of R₃SnCl (R = Me, Bu or Ph) with sodium 4‐phenylbutyrate, Na(OPh^b), in EtOH yielded three polymeric triorganotin carboxylates, namely [R₃Sn(OPh^b)]_n (R = Me ( 1 ), Bu ( 2 ) or Ph ( 3 )). All complexes were spectroscopically characterized using Fourier transform infrared, ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer, ¹H NMR, ¹³C{¹H} NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn{¹H} NMR spectral techniques. In addition, the crystal structures of 1 and 3 were determined using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Their polymeric structures are sustained by bridging carboxylates which connect two five‐coordinate Sn(IV) centres. Each metallic cation displays a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry (Addison's parameters ranging from 0.84 in 1 to 0.77–0.91 in 3 ), with the oxygen atoms occupying the apical positions and the organic groups at the equatorial corners. The one‐dimensional zigzag chains of 1 propagate along the b ‐axis, whereas 3 displays wave‐like double polymeric chains along the b ‐axis. For both 1 and 3 , parallel one‐dimensional polymeric chains are interconnected by C─H⋅⋅⋅π interactions. The antifungal activity of 1 – 3 was screened against Candida albicans (ATCC 18804), C. tropicalis (ATCC 750), C. glabrata (ATCC 90030), C. parapsilosis (ATCC 22019), C. lusitaniae (CBS 6936) and C. dubliniensis (clinical isolate 28). The antifungal activity of 3 was noteworthy since it was not only more active than 1 and 2 , but also more active than the control drugs (nystatin and fluconazole nitrate) in some cases.     

On the relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The paper deals with the relationship between the crystal and molecular structures of CuSO₄.5 H₂O, CuSO₄.3 H₂O and CuSO₄.H₂O on the one hand, and the stoichiometries of their thermal decompositions on the other. With the use of methods of X ray powder diffractograms, i.r. and electronic spectra, evidence is provided that the intermediates of the thermal decomposition of CuSO₄.5 H₂O have the same crystal and molecular structures as CuSO₄.3 H₂O and CuSO₄.H₂O prepared by other procedures. It is also shown that at temperatures near that of the thermal decomposition, certain, not further identified structural changes take place in CuSO₄.5 H₂O.

On the relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The thermal dehydration of pentacoordinate complexes [Cu(maleinate)(H₂O)] (I), [Cu₂(citrate) (H₂O)₂] (II) and [Cu(phenoxyacetate)₂(H₂O₃] (III) was investigated and correlated with the structural changes occurring during the dehydration. It was found that the activation parameters of the reactions do not follow the lengths of the split Cu?OH₂ bonds. The lowestE _a and lgA values were found for compound I, the highest ones for compound III. The most expressive changes of the anionic ligand binding mode take place during the dehydration of this compound.     

On the relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The experimental activation energies (E ^*) of dehydration of Cu(NH₃)₄(H₂O)SO₄, Cu(en)₂(H₂O)X₂ (X=Cl^?, Br^?), Cu(en)(H₂O)₂SO₄, Cu(py)₂(H₂O)₂SO₄, CuCl₂ · 2H₂O and M ₂ ^I CuCl₄ · 2H₂O (M ^I =NH₄, K, Rb) were obtained from their non-isothermal thermogravimetric curves using the Coats-Redfern method. TheseE ^* values were compared with known data on the structures of the Cu(II) coordination polyhedra in the above complexes. No dependence of theE ^* values was found on either the central atom — released ligand bond length, or the number and lengths of the hydrogen bonds formed by the released water molecules. However, it was found that it is justified to seek some relationship between theE ^* values and the anisotropic temperature factors of the donor atoms of the ligands split off.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of organotin(IV) carboxylates based on different heterocyclic substituents

Six novel organotin(IV) carboxylates have been successfully synthesized, namely, the polymer (C₆H₅)₃Sn(L1)_∞ (1) [HL1 = 4-imidazolyl benzoic acid], the mononuclear (C₆H₅)₃Sn(L2) (2) [HL2 = 4-pyrazolylbenzoic acid], (C₆H₅)₃Sn(L3)·CH₃OH (3) [HL3 = 4-triazolylbenzoic acid] and (C₆H₅)₃Sn(L4) (4) [HL4 = 4-tetrazolyl benzoic acid] and the tetranuclear [(n-Bu₂Sn)₄(L2)₂O₂(OCH₃)₂] (5) and [(n-Bu₂Sn)₄(L3)₂O₂(OCH₃)₂] (6). X-ray diffraction analyses show 1D infinite chain of polymer 1, single molecular structures of isomorphous complexes 2 and 4, single molecule structures of complex 3 containing solvent CH₃OH molecule and similar ladder-type structures of complexes 5 and 6. The photoluminescence of ligands and 1-6 were also measured in the solid state at room temperature.     

On the relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations IX

The Stoichiometry and the kinetics of thermal decomposition of the title compounds were studied. The results were correlated with the structures of the Cu(II) coordination polyhedra, which have in general a 4+2 type of coordination. It was shown that the equatorial Cu-H₂O bond distances are important for the found decomposition stoichiometries. As an intermediate of thermal decomposition, Cu(H₂O)₅(CH₃C₆H₄SO₃)₂ was prepared and characterized via its IR and electronic spectra and powder X-ray diffractogram. The experimental activation energies increase with increasing degree of tetragonality of the Cu(II) coordination polyhedron forX ^–=C₆H₅SO₃ and D-C₁₀ H ₁₅OSO₃, but decrease forX ^–=4-CH₃C₆H₄SO₃. TheE ^* value found for the decomposition of the latter compound can not be attributed to the chemical reaction.

Data on the activation energies of dehydration of the complexes [Cu(en)₂(H₂O)]X₂, [Cu(, -bipy)₂(H₂O)]S₂O₆ and [Cu(o-phen)₂(H₂O)]X₂ were gained by means of dynamic TG, and theH values of the same reactions by DSC. The results were correlated with known data on the crystal structures of the studied complexes. No significant differences betweenE and/orH values were found for tetragonal pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal complexes. For complexes with sufficiently exactly solved crystal structures, the activation energies increase with decreasing values of the anisotropic temperature factors (in the Cu-OH₂ bond directions). Activation energy values are also influenced by the type of structural changes accompanying the formation of the intermediate of thermal decomposition.

Substituent chemical shifts of the organotin moiety in compounds of the type RSnMenCl3 − n (n = 0 to 3; R = n-alkyl)

The ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra of 33 organotin compounds of the type RSnMe_nCl_{3 ? n} and related types are discussed. The substituent effects of the groups SnMe₃, SnMe₂Cl, SnMeCl₂ and SnCl₃ (and of some related groups) on the carbon chemical shifts in the alkyl group R have been determined; the SnMe₃ group causes a small upfield shift of the carbon attached to it, while the other groups cause downfield shifts. The shifts show a monotonic change on replacing methyl groups in Me₃Sn by chlorine atoms. The effects on carbons further removed from the tin atom are discussed. Variation in R causes little change in ⁿJ(Sn? C) or δ(¹¹⁹Sn).
