Photochemische reaktionen von übergansmetall-olefinkomplexen: III. [4 + 6]-cycloaddition konjugierter diene an hexacarbonyl-μ-η6:6(-1,1′-bi(2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-yl)dichrom(O)

UV irradiation of hexacarbonyl-μ-η^6:6-1,1′-bi(2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-yl)dichromium(O) (I) in THF in the presence of 1,3-butadiene (A), E-1,3-pentadiene (B) and EE-2,4-hexadiene (C) causes preferentially a twofold [4 + 6]-cycloaddition and formation of the hexacarbonyl-μ-2–5 : 8.9-η-2′–5′ : 8′,9′-η-11,11′-bi(bicyclo-[4.4.1]undeca-2,4,8-trien-11-yl)dichromium(O) complexes (IVA–IVC). Partial decomplexation after the first [4 + 6]-cycloaddition yields isomeric tricarbonyl-2–5:8,9-η- (IIA–IIC) and tricarbonyl-2′–7′-η-{11-(2′,4′,6′-cycloheptatrien-1′-yl)bicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-2,4,8-triene}chromium(O) complexes (IIIA–IIIC). With 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (D) mainly dicarbonyl-2–6 : 2′–4′-η-{1-(2′,3′-dimethyl-3′-buten-1′,2′-diyl)-7-(8″,9″-dimethylbicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-2″, 4″,8″-trien-11″-yl)cyclohepta-3,5-dien-2-yl}chromium(O) (VD) besides small amounts of pentacarbonyl-μ-2–6 : 2′–4′-η-2″–7″-η-{1-(2′,3′-dimethyl-3′-buten-1′,2′-diyl)-7-(2″, 4″,6″-cycloheptatrien-1″-yl)cyclohepta-3,5-dien-2-yl}dichromium(O) (VID) and tricarbonyl-2′-7′-η-{11-(2′,4′,6′-cycloheptatrien-1′-yl)-8,9-dimethyl-bicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-2,4,8-triene}-chromium(O) (IIID) is obtained. VD adds readily CO to yield tricarbonyl-2–5 : 8,9-η-11,11′-bi(8,9-dimethyl-bicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-2,4,8-trien-11-yl)chromium(O) (VIID). Finally D adds to VID under formation of pentacarbonyl-μ-2–6 : 2′–4′-η-2″–5″ : 8″,9″-η-{1-(2′,3′-dimethyl-3′-buten-1′,2′-diyl)-7-(8″,9″-dimethyl-bicyclo[4.4.1]- undeca-2″,4″,8″-trien-11″-yl)cyclohepta-3,5-dien-2-yl}dichromium(O) (VIIID). From IVA–IVC the hydrocarbon ligands (IXA–IXC) can be liberated by P(OCH₃)₃ in good yields. The structures of the compounds IIA–IXC were determined by IR     

Coordination complexes of acetylenic phosphines and diphosphines : V. Acetylene bridged derivatives of dicobalt octacarbonyl

Reactions of the phosphinoacetylenes RR′PCCR″ (R  R′  Ph, R″  H, CF₃, Ph, Me, t-Bu; R  R′  C₆F₅, R″  Ph, Me; R  Ph, R′  Me, R″  Me) with Co₂(CO)₈ have been studied. Complexes of four types have been characterised: (A)(RR′PC₂R″)CO₂(CO)₆ (R  R′  C₆F₅, R″  Ph, Me; R  R′  Ph, R″  t-Bu), (B) (RR′PC₂R″)₂Co₄(CO)₁₀ (R  R′  Ph, R″  H, CF₃, Ph, Me; R  R′  C₆F₅, R″  Me; R  Ph, R′  Me, R″  Me), (C) (RR′PC₂R″)₂Co₂(CO)₆ (R  R′  Ph, R″  t-Bu), (D) (RR′P(O)C₂R″)Co₂(CO)₆ (R  R′  Ph, R″  t-Bu; R  R′  C₆F₅, R  Ph). The complexes were characterised by microanalysis, IR, NMR and where possible mass spectra. Substitution reactions of the complexes with tertiary phosphites are described. In complexes of type (A) only the alkyne function is utilised whereas the tetranuclear compounds (B) have structures in which both alkyne and phosphorus moieties are coordinated. Compounds of type (C) are simple disubstituted phosphine complexes of Co₂(CO)₈ and those of type (D) are μ-alkyne derivatives of acetylenic phosphine oxides. The mechanism of formation of complexes of type (B) is discussed in the light of IR data.

A comparison of attack angle dependence of exchange channel of reaction H + HS (v = 0, 1; j = 0) on 3A″ and 3A′ surfaces

In this theoretical work, we report quasiclassical dynamics predictions for the attack angle‐dependence exchange processes for the H + HS (v = 0, 1; j = 0) reaction by using the new triplet 3A″ and 3A′ potential energy surfaces, respectively. The calculated quasiclassical reaction probabilities of exchange reaction channel of reaction H(D)′ + H(D)S for J = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 are in good agreement with quantum wave packet results over the collision energy range from 0.1 to 2.0 eV on 3A″ surfaces. The attack angle dependence reaction probability of the title reactions at J = 0 are calculated, respectively, on the two surfaces. The reaction probability was found to be strongly dependent on the attack angle. It may be ascribe to the significant difference of the effective potential barrier height in the two reactions. Besides, the reaction probabilities of exchange reaction channel of reaction H(D)′ + H(D)S for J = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 are also predicted on 3A′ surfaces. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The antibacterial and cytotoxic potentials of the isolates were also investigated.     

Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for chains of groups of interest in quantum chemistry

The algebra of the representation of the special unitary group SU(2), the universal covering of the proper rotation group SO(3), is studied in a nonstandard basis. We are using a basis adapted to a chain of type SU(2) ? …? ? G″ ? G′ ? G. The introduction of such a chain enables us to label, at least partially, the elements of the irreducible tensorial sets under SU(2) with irreducible representations of G, G″ G″, …. We are thus led to introduce the restriction SU(2) → …? → G″ → G′ → G in the Wigner-Racah algebra of the group SU(2). The physical interest of this machinery lies in the fact that the double group of any point symmetry group belongs, up to an isomorphism, to the considered chain. The formalism described in this paper thus appears to be useful in molecular and solid-state calculations. It is particularly efficient in the fields of vibrational-rotational and electronic spectroscopy of molecules. In Appendix A the master formulae, principally the Wigner-Eckart-Racah theorem, for the Wigner-Racah algebra of a chain of compact topological groups (discrete or continuous) are briefly discussed. Lastly, a programme for computing Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for a chain SU(2) ? …? ? G″ ? G′ ? G and numerical results for chains isomorphic to SU(2) ? O′ ? D′₄ ? D′₂ are described in Appendix B.

Biflavonoids,Lignans, and Related Compounds from the Roots of Diplomorpha canescens

Two new biflavonoids, 14″‐O‐methyldihydrodaphnodorin B ( 1 ) and 14″‐O‐methyldaphnodorin J ( 2 ), along with 16 known compounds, i.e., dihydrodaphnodorin B ( 3 ), daphnodorin J ( 4 ), 3″‐epidihydrodaphnodorin B ( 5 ), daphnodorin B ( 6 ), neochamaejasmin B ( 7 ), sikokianin B ( 8 ), (?)‐syringaresinol ( 9 ), (?)‐syringaresinol 4‐O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 10 ), (+)‐nortrachelogenin ( 11 ), (?)‐lariciresinol ( 12 ), (?)‐pinoresinol ( 13 ), syringin ( 14 ), syringinoside ( 15 ), daphnoretin ( 16 ), phorbol 13‐acetate ( 17 ), and methyl paraben ( 18 ) were isolated from the roots of Diplomorpha canescens (Meisn.)

DFT study of the electronic and charge transfer properties of perfluoroarene–thiophene oligomers

The ground state structures of 5,5″-diperfluorophenyl-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴-quaterthiophene (1), 5,5′-bis{1-[4-(thien-2-yl)perfluorophenyl]}-2,2′-dithiophene (2), 4,4′-bis[5-(2,2′-dithiophenyl)]-perfluorobiphenyl (3), 5,5″-diperfluorophenyl-2,2′:5′,2″-tertthiophene (4), 5,5′-diperfluorophenyl-2,2′-dihiophene (5), and 5,5-diperfluorophenylthiophene (6) have been optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d), B3LYP/6-31G(d,p), PBE0/6-31G(d), and PBE0/6-31G(d,p) level of theories. The B3LYP/6-31+G(d) and PBE0/6-31+G(d) level of theories have been applied to investigate the absorption spectra. The PBE0 functional is good to predict the C–S bond lengths while the C–F bond lengths are good envisaged with B3LYP functional. The increment of thiophene rings between two perfluoroarene rings leads to red shift in absorption spectra. The electron affinities are energetically destabilized while energetic stabilization of the radical-cation increases by decreasing the thiophene rings from four to one. The perfluoroarene rings leads to enhance the electron injection.     

Reactions at the B–B Bond of Bis(trisyl)oxadiborirane: Ring Extensions

The B–B bond of bis(trisyl)oxadiborirane OB₂R₂ (R = C(SiMe₃)₃) is opened by amides R′CO(NHR″) to give the dioxaazadiboracyclohexanes [–BR–O–BR–NR″–CHR′–O–] (R′/R″ = H/H, H/Me, H/Et, Me/H: 5 a – d ). The amide MeCO(NHMe) yields 5 e (R′/R″ = Me/Me), when an excess of the amide is applied for 24 h, but yields an isomeric 1 : 1 adduct ( 6 e ), when a stoichiometric amount of the amide is applied for 15 h; upon refluxing this isomer in hexane, it is transformed into 5 e .     

Synthesis and Reactions of Pyrido[2,1‐a]isoquinolin‐4‐yl Formimidate Derivatives and Antimicrobial Activities of Isolated Products

Treatment of arylidene malononitriles 2A – C with 1‐cyanomethylisoquinoline 1 afforded 4‐amino‐2‐arylpyrido[2,1‐a ]isoquinoline‐1,3‐dicarbonitrile derivatives 5A – C , which converted to formimidates 6A – C via reaction with triethylorthoformate. Treatment of the latter compounds with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding amino–imino compounds 7A – C , which underwent Dimroth rearrangement to afford 13‐aryl‐1‐hydrazinylpyrimido[5′,4′:5,6]pyrido[2,1‐a ]isoquinoline‐12‐carbonitrile 8A – C . The latter reacted with aldehyde to give 9a – i . Oxidative cyclization of the latter compounds 9a – i gave [1,2,4]triazolo[4″,3″:1′,6′]‐pyrimido[5′,4′:5,6]pyrido[2,1‐a ]isoquinolines 10a , d , g . Such compounds isomerized to the thermodynamically more stable isomers [1,2,4]triazolo[1″,5″:1′,6′]pyrimido[5′,4′:5,6]‐pyrido[2,1‐a ]isoquinolines 11a , d , g . Antimicrobial activities for some compounds were studied.

DNA fragment conformations. I—methods for the assignment of DNA fragment proton resonances. 1H NMR spectra of dApTpGpT and dApCpApTpGpT

A general method for the assignment of DNA fragment proton resonances, especially for the sugar protons, has been presented and used to interpret the 400 MHz proton spectra of dApTpGpT and dApCpApTpGpT in neutral aqueous solution. Only fine splittings of about 3 Hz are observed in the H-2″ resonances, and the total splitting is larger for the H-2′ (≈29 Hz) than for the H-2″ (22–23 Hz) multiplets. The purine and pyrimidine resonances can be distinguished on the basis of the H-2″ and H-2″ chemical shifts. The resonances of the H-2′ and H-2″ protons (above and below the sugar plane, respectively) of dA and dG exhibit chemical shifts of 2.65—2.80 ppm, while those of dC and dT residues are located at higher fields between 1.95 and 2.40 ppm. At high temperature (≥60°C), δH-2′>YδH-2″ for the purine family, while δH-2′ « δH-2″ in the case of the pyrimidine family. Except for the terminal residue, the H-3′ resonances of dA and dG are located at lower fields compared with those of the dC and dT residues. The same is true for the H-4′ resonances. In general δA_1′>δG_1′ and in the case of self complementary duplexes the H-1′ and H-2′ chemical shift variations versus temperature are found to be larger for the dC than for the dT residues.     

SCHWEFELDIIMIDE MIT SILYL-, GERMYL-, STANNYL- UND PHOSPHINYL-HETEROSUBSTITUENTEN. SYNTHESE UND NMR-SPEKTROSKOPISCHE CHARAKTERISIERUNG

Abstract

Reactions of the salts K₂SN₂ and K[(NSN)R] (R = ′Bu, SiMe₃ and P′Bu₂) with organoelement chlorides R′R′ěl have been used to prepare four series of model sulfur diimides: R′R″E(NSN)ER″R′, ′Bu(NSN)ER″R′, Me₃Si(NSN)E″R′ and ^tBu₂P(NSN)ER″R′, respectively (E = C, Si, Ge, Sn; R′ and R″ = alkyl or aryl group). All compounds have been characterized by ′H and ¹³C NMR and—if possible—by ³¹P, ²⁹Si and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. The configuration (Z or E) of the substituents R and E″R′ has been assigned in several cases using ^tBu(NSN)^tBu (1) as a reference. The E,Z assignment of ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N nuclei in 1 is based on selectively ¹H-decoupled refocused INEPT ¹⁵N NMR and two-dimensional (2D) ¹³C/¹H heteronuclear shift correlations. The sulfur diimides under study are in general fluxional in solution.     

Exchange reactions of hydrogen halides with hydrogenic atoms

Calculations on the D + HBr → DBr + H and D + HI → DI + H reactions are reported. A three-dimensional, quantum-dynamical approximation is used which involves applying the energy sudden approximation to the entrance channel hamiltonian and the centrifugal sudden approximation to the exit channel hamiltonian. Results of integral and differential cross sections, rate coefficients and rotational distributions are presented. Diatomics-in-molecules potential-energy surfaces have been used in the computations. The HBrH potential has been optimesed so that the calculated room-temperature rate coefficient agrees with experiment. This potential has a barrier height of 0.237 eV. Rate coefficient computations for the four reactions H′ + H″ Cl → - H′Cl + H″ (H′, H″ = H or D) are also reported. These results, for a LEPS surface, agree well with those obtained in quasiclassical trajectory and variational transition state theory calculations.     

A new fluorescent-colorimetric chemosensor for fluoride anion based on benzimidazolium salt

Two new benzimidazolium salts with the same cationic moiety and different anions 3-(2′-((8″-hydroxy-9″,10″-dioxo-9″,10″-dihydroanthracen-1″-yl)oxy)ethyl)-1-(pyridin-2?-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium bromide and 3-(2′-((8″-hydroxy-9″,10″-dioxo-9″,10″-dihydroanthracen-1″-yl)oxy)ethyl)-1-(pyridin-2?-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium hexafluorophosphate were prepared and characterized. The single crystal structure of 3-(2′-((8″-hydroxy-9″,10″-dioxo-9″,10″-dihydroanthracen-1″-yl)oxy)ethyl)-1-(pyridin-2?-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium bromide was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Particularly, anion recognition using 3-(2′-((8″-hydroxy-9″,10″-dioxo-9″,10″-dihydroanthracen-1″-yl)oxy)ethyl)-1-(pyridin-2?-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium hexafluorophosphate as a chemosensor was carried out via fluorescence and ultraviolet spectroscopy, ¹H NMR titrations, HRMS and IR spectra. The response of this chemosensor to fluoride anion can be observed through both remarkable fluorescence quenching and color change under visible light (from orange to purple). The results indicated that this chemosensor can distinguish fluoride anion from other anions via the instrument and naked eyes, and this is greatly convenient in practical operation.     

Metalmetal bonding trends in mixed-group,face-shared d3d3 bioctahedral dimer systems,M′M″Cl9 n−

The results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations on a set of binuclear nonachloride complexes M′M″Cl₉ ⁴⁻ (M′=V, Nb, Ta; M″=Cr, Mo, W) and M′M″Cl₉ ²⁻ (M′=Cr, Mo, W; M″=Mn, Tc, Re), in which each metal possesses a nominal d³ valence electronic configuration, are reported. When compared with previous studies on same-group dimers (typified by the M′M″Cl₉ ³⁻ complexes of the chromium triad), the present results display an increased tendency for electron donation from M′ to M″. Structural trends evident for the M′M″Cl₉ ⁴⁻ and M′M″Cl₉ ²⁻ series of dimers are remarkably consistent: weak ferromagnetic coupling between M′ and M″ is the most favorable intermetallic interaction when M″ is a first-row transition metal, antiferromagnetic coupling dominates when M′ is first-row but M″ is second- or third-row, and metalmetal triple bond formation generally yields the lowest-energy structure when neither metal is first-row. These structural trends, and other characteristics of the dimers described here, can be satisfactorily rationalized in terms of the tendency for electron transfer from M′ to M″, coupled with effects due to spin polarization and ligand field splitting of the valence d orbitals on M′ and M″.     

Synthesis and Solid‐state Reaction of 1‐[3′‐(Benzotriazol‐2″‐yl)‐4′ ‐hydroxybenzoyl]‐3‐methyl‐5‐pyrazolones

A new kind of UV stabilizers, 1‐(3′‐(benzotriazol‐2″‐yl)‐4′‐hydroxy‐benzoyl)‐3‐methyl‐5‐pyrazolones (1a‐d), was synthesized with the aim to bind them chemically to certain polymers. The reaction of 1d with substituted benzaldehydes 4 in the molten state at 150°C and in the solid state at room temperature produced the condensation products l‐(3′‐(5″‐chlorobenzotriazol‐2″‐yl)‐4′‐hydroxyl‐5′‐chlorobenzoyl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐arylmethylene‐5‐pyrazolones (2) and 4,4′‐arylmethylene‐bis [1‐(3′‐(5″‐chloro‐benzotriazol‐2″‐yl)‐4′‐hydroxy‐5′‐chloro‐benzoyl)‐3‐methyl‐5‐pyrazolone] s (3), respectively, as the major product. On the other hand, the reaction of 1d with 4 at 50°C in chloroform solution proceeded non‐selectively to give a mixture of 2 and 3.     

Novel,Complex Flavonoids from Mallotus philippensis (Kamala Tree)

One new flavanone, 4′‐hydroxyisorottlerin ( 2 ), and two new chalcone derivatives, kamalachalcones C ( 3 ) and D ( 4 ), were isolated from Mallotus philippensis (kamala tree). The largest compound ( 4 ; M_r 1098 g/mol) was shown to possess a unique, fused‐ring system made of two hydroxy‐chalcone units, giving rise to eight fused benzene/pyran units. From the same plant, the following six known compounds were also isolated: kamalachalcone A ( 5 ) and B ( 6 ), isoallorottlerin ( 7 ), isorottlerin ( 8 ), 5,7‐dihydroxy‐8‐methyl‐6‐prenylflavanone ( 9 ); 6,6‐dimethylpyrano(2″,3″: 7,6)‐5‐hydroxy‐8‐methylflavanone ( 10 ), and rottlerin ( 1 ). The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by in‐depth spectral analyses, including 2D‐NMR techniques, and the full ¹³C‐NMR assignments of the known flavanones 1 and 7 – 10 are published for the first time.
