Synthesis and Characterization of Two Formyl 2‐Tetrazenes

The synthesis of two formyl 2‐tetrazenes, namely, (E)‐1‐formyl‐1,4,4‐trimethyl‐2‐tetrazene ( 2 ) and (E)‐1,4‐diformyl‐1,4‐dimethyl‐2‐tetrazene ( 3 ), by oxidation of (E)‐1,1,4,4‐tetramethyl‐2‐tetrazene ( 1 ) using potassium permanganate in acetone solution is presented. Compound 3 was also synthesized in an improved yield from the oxidation of 1‐formyl‐1‐methylhydrazine ( 4a ) using potassium permanganate in acetone. Both compounds 2 and 3 were characterized by analytical (elemental analysis, GC‐MS) and spectroscopic methods (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy, and IR and Raman spectroscopy). In addition, the solid‐state structures of the compounds were confirmed by low‐temperature X‐ray analysis. (Compound 2 : triclinic; space group P‐1; a=5.997(1) Å, b=8.714(1) Å, c=13.830(2) Å; α=107.35(1)°, β=90.53(1)°, γ=103.33(1)°; V_UC=668.9(2) ų; Z=4; ρ_calc=1.292 cm^?3. Compound 3 : monoclinic; space group P2₁/c; a=5.840(2) Å, b=7.414(3) Å, c=8.061(2) Å; β=100.75(3)°; V_UC=342(2) ų; Z=2; ρ_calc=1.396 g cm^?3.) The vibrational frequencies of compounds 2 and 3 were calculated using the B3LYP method with a 6‐311+G(d,p) basis set. We also computed the natural bond orbital (NBO) charges using the rMP2/aug‐cc‐pVDZ method and the heats of formation were determined on the basis of their electronic energies. Furthermore, the thermal stabilities of these compounds, as well as their sensitivity towards classical stimuli, were also assessed by differential scanning calorimetry and standard BAM tests, respectively. Lastly, the attempted synthesis of (E)‐1,2,3,4‐tetraformyl‐2‐tetrazene ( 6 ) is also discussed.     

Antibacterial Activities and Nuclease Properties of Two New Ternary Copper(II) Complexes with 2‐(4′‐Thiazolyl)‐benzimidazole and 2,2′‐Bipyridine/1,10‐phenanthroline

Two new complexes: [Cu(TBZ)(bipy)Cl]Cl·H₂O ( 1 ) and [Cu(TBZ)(phen)Cl]Cl·H₂O ( 2 ) [TBZ=2‐(4′‐thiazolyl)‐ benzimidazole, phen=1,10‐phenanthroline and bipy=2,2′‐bipyridine] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, and UV‐vis methods. Complex 2 , structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c in a unit cell of a=0.85257(12) nm, b=2.5358(4) nm, c=1.15151(13) nm, β=118.721(8)°, V=2.183.2(5) nm³, Z=4, D_c=1.624 g·cm⁻³, µ=1.367 mm⁻¹. The complexes, free ligands and chloride copper(II) salt were each tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of two gram‐positive (B. subtilis and S. aureus) and two gram‐negative (Salmonella and E. coli) bacteria. The complexes showed good antibacterial activities against the microorganisms. The interaction between the complexes and calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution was investigated adopting electronic absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity measurements and cyclic voltammetry. Results suggest that the two complexes can bind to DNA by intercalative mode. In addition, the result of agarose gel electrophoresis suggested that the complexes can cleave the plasmid DNA at physiological pH and room temperature. Mechanistic studies with different inhibiting reagents reveal that hydroxyl radicals, and a singlet oxygen‐like copper‐oxo species are all involved in the DNA scission process mediated by the complexes.     

Spectroscopic and electrochemical study for evaluating DNA interaction activity of 4‐(3‐halophenyl)‐6‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)pyrimidin‐2‐amine based piano stool Cp* Rh (III) and Ir (III) complexes

Six novel organometallic half sandwich complexes [(η5‐C₅Me₅)M(L^1–3)Cl]Cl.2H₂O were synthesized using [{(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)M(μ‐Cl)Cl₂], where M = Ir (III)/Rh (III) and L^1–3 = three pyridyl pyrimidine based ligands; and characterized by NMR, Infra‐red spectroscopy, conductance, elemental and thermal analysis. The complex‐DNA binding mode and/or strength evaluated using absorption titration, electrochemical studies and hydrodynamic measurement proposed intercalative binding mode, which was also confirmed by molecular docking study. Differential pulse voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry studies indicated an alteration in oxidation and reduction potentials of complexes (M⁺⁴/M⁺³) in presence of CT‐DNA. The metal complexes can cleave plasmid DNA as proposed in gel electrophoretic analysis. The LC₅₀ values of complexes evaluated on brine shrimp suggested their potent cytotoxic nature.     

The Borosulfate Story Goes on—From Alkali and Oxonium Salts to Polyacids

The structural principles of borosulfates derived from the B/S ratio are confirmed and extended to new representatives of this class showing novel motifs. According to the composition, Na[B(S₂O₇)₂] (P2₁/c; a=10.949(6), b=8.491(14), c=12.701(8) Å; β=110.227(1)°; Z=4) and K[B(S₂O₇)₂] (Cc; a=11.3368(6), b=14.662(14), c=13.6650(8) Å; β=94.235(1)°; Z=8) contain isolated [B(S₂O₇)₂]^? ions, in which the central BO₄ tetrahedron is coordinated by two disulfate units. The alkali cations have coordination numbers of 7 (Na) and 8 (K), respectively. The structure of Cs[B(S₂O₇)(SO₄)] (P2₁/c; a=10.4525(6), b=11.3191(14), c=8.2760(8) Å; β=103.206(1); Z=4) combines, for the first time, sulfate and disulfate units into a chain structure. Cs has a coordination number of 12. The same structural units were found in H[B(S₂O₇)(SO₄)] (P2₁/c; a=15.6974(6), b=11.4362(14), c=8.5557(8) Å; β=90.334(3)°; Z=8). This compound represents the first example of a polyacid. The hydrogen atoms were located and connect the chains to form layers through hydrogen‐bonding bridges. H₃O[B(SO₄)₂] (P4/ncc; a=9.1377(6), c=7.3423(8) Å; Z=4) is the first oxonium compound of this type to be found. The BO₄ tetrahedra are linked by SO₄ tetrahedra to form linear chains similar to those in SiS₂. The chains form a tetragonal rod packing structure with H₃O⁺ between the rods. The structures of borosulfates can be classified following the concept described by Liebau for silicates, which was extended to borophosphates by Kniep et al. In contrast to these structures, borosulfates do not comprise B‐O‐B bonds but instead contain S‐O‐S connections. All compounds were obtained as colourless, moisture‐sensitive single crystals by reaction of B₂O₃ and the appropriate alkali salt in oleum.     

[Ru2Bi14Br4](AlCl4)4 by Mobilization and Reorganization of Complex Clusters in Ionic Liquids

Two polymorphs of the new cluster compound [Ru₂Bi₁₄Br₄](AlCl₄)₄ have been synthesized from Bi₂₄Ru₃Br₂₀ in the Lewis acidic ionic liquid [BMIM]Cl/AlCl₃ ([BMIM]⁺: 1‐n‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium) at 140 °C. A large fragment of the precursor’s structure, namely the [(Bi₈)Ru(Bi₄Br₄)Ru(Bi₅)]⁵⁺ cluster, dissolved as a whole and transformed into a closely related symmetrical [(Bi₅)Ru(Bi₄Br₄)Ru(Bi₅)]⁴⁺ cluster through structural conversion of a coordinating Bi₈²⁺ to a Bi₅⁺ polycation, while the remainder was left intact. Both modifications have monoclinic unit cells that comprise two formula units (α form: P2₁/n, a=982.8(2), b=1793.2(4), c=1472.0(3) pm, β=109.05(3)°; β form: P2₁/n, a=1163.8(2), b=1442.7(3), c=1500.7(3), β=97.73(3)°). The [Ru₂Bi₁₄Br₄]⁴⁺ cluster can be regarded as a binuclear inorganic complex of two ruthenium(I) cations that are coordinated by terminal Bi₅⁺ square pyramids and a central Bi₄Br₄ ring. The presence of a covalent Ru? Ru bond was established by molecular quantum chemical calculations utilizing real‐space bonding indicator ELI‐D. Structural similarity of the new and parent cluster suggests a structural reorganization or an exchange of the bismuth polycations as mechanisms of cluster formation. In this top‐down approach a complex‐structured unit formed at high temperature was made available for low‐temperature use.     

High‐Pressure Synthesis and Structural Investigation of H3P8O8N9: A New Phosphorus(V) Oxonitride Imide with an Interrupted Framework Structure

The first crystalline phosphorus oxonitride imide H₃P₈O₈N₉ (=P₈O₈N₆(NH)₃) has been synthesized under high‐pressure and high‐temperature conditions. To this end, a new, highly reactive phosphorus oxonitride imide precursor compound was prepared and treated at 12 GPa and 750 °C by using a multianvil assembly. H₃P₈O₈N₉ was obtained as a colorless, microcrystalline solid. The crystal structure of H₃P₈O₈N₉ was solved ab initio by powder X‐ray diffraction analysis, applying the charge‐flipping algorithm, and refined by the Rietveld method (C2/c (no. 15), a=1352.11(7), b=479.83(3), c=1820.42(9) pm, β=96.955(4)°, Z=4). H₃P₈O₈N₉ exhibits a highly condensed (κ=0.47), 3D, but interrupted network that is composed of all‐side vertex‐sharing (Q⁴) and only threefold‐linking (Q³) P(O,N)₄ tetrahedra in a Q⁴/Q³ ratio of 3:1. The structure, which includes 4‐ring assemblies as the smallest ring size, can be subdivided into alternating open‐branched zweier double layers {oB,${2{{2\hfill \atop \infty \hfill}}}$ }[²P₃(O,N)₇] and layers containing pairwise‐linked Q³ tetrahedra parallel (001). Information on the hydrogen atoms in H₃P₈O₈N₉ was obtained by 1D ¹H MAS, 2D homo‐ and heteronuclear (together with ³¹P) correlation NMR spectroscopy, and a ¹H spin‐diffusion experiment with a hard‐pulse sequence designed for selective excitation of a single peak. Two hydrogen sites with a multiplicity ratio of 2:1 were identified and thus the formula of H₃P₈O₈N₉ was unambiguously determined. The protons were assigned to Wyckoff positions 8f and 4e, the latter located within the Q³ tetrahedra layers.

(Diphenylphosphanyl)phenols C₆H₃(1‐OH)(2‐PPh₂)(4‐R¹)(6‐R²), abbreviated as (P^∧OH), oxidatively add to Fe(PMe₃)₄ affording hydridoiron(II) compounds fac‐FeH(P^∧O)(PMe₃)₃ ( 1 : R¹=R²=H; 2 : R¹=Me, R²=H; 3 : R¹=OMe, R²=H; 4 : R¹=Me, R²=CMe₃; 5 : R¹=R²=CMe₃) with high stereoselectivity. (2‐diphenylphosphanyl)thiophenol (P^∧SH) reacts accordingly forming fac‐FeH(P^∧S)(PMe₃)₃ ( 9 ). Complete assignment of ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P signals is achieved by 2D heteronuclear shift correlations. 4,6‐Di‐tert‐butyl‐(2‐diphenylphosphanyl)phenol reacts with FeI(Me)(PMe₃)₄ to form FeI(P^∧O)(PMe₃)₂ ( 6 ). 4 , 5 and 9 under 1 bar of CO are converted to monocarbonyl derivatives FeH(P^∧X)(CO)(PMe₃)₂ ( 7 , 8 : X = O; 10 : X = S) which in solution form mixtures of two isomers A and B . 4 and 5 react with their parent phosphanylphenols, respectively, to give diamagnetic complexes Fe(P^∧O)₂(PMe₃) ( 11 , 12 ) which dissociate trimethylphosphane to give paramagnetic compounds Fe(P^∧O)₂. The same phosphanylphenols react with FeCl₃ to afford racemic mixtures of complexes Fe(P^∧O)₃ ( 13 , 14 ). Structural data were also obtained from single crystals of compounds 1 , 5 , and 11 .

The results show that the complexes can bind DNA by intercalation and cleave pBR322 DNA by free hydroxyl radical induced by the complexes in the presence of ascorbate, giving the order of the binding abilities and cleavage activity of the complexes to DNA: complex 2 > 1 .     

Polymorphism vs. Desmotropy: The Cases of 3‐Phenyl‐ and 5‐Phenyl‐ 1H‐pyrazoles and 3‐Phenyl‐1H‐indazole

Two desmotropes, 3‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole ( 1a ) and 5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole ( 1b ) have been isolated and the conditions for their interconversion established.

In the case of 3‐phenyl‐1H‐indazole ( 2a ), two concomitant polymorphs have been analyzed by X‐ray crystallography, and their NMR spectral properties were determined. The low‐melting‐point polymorph, at 106.7°, contains three molecules in the asymmetric unit (a=41.086(1), b=7.3860(2), c=23.391(1) Å, β=117.697(1)°, space group C2/c) and the high‐melting‐point one, 115.3°, six molecules (a=13.7818(4), b=13.7976(5), c=18.9445(5) Å, α=94.300(3), β=95.131(3), γ=119.428(3)°, space group P‐1). Here, too, it has been experimentally determined how to transform one form into the other. Density‐functional‐theory calculations at the B3LYP/6‐31G** level have been performed in both examples to rationalize the stability of the different tautomers.

Synthesis,Characterization, and Crystal Structures of [Cu(ca2en)2]ClO4, and [Cu(ca2en)(PPh3)2]ClO4 Complexes

Synthesis, spectroscopy, and crystal structures of [Cu(ca₂en)₂]ClO₄ ( 1 ) and [Cu(ca₂en)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ ( 2 ) (ca₂en=N,N′‐bis(trans‐cinnamaldehyde)ethylenediimine) are reported. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca, with a=12.5647(7), b=21.8203(11), c=27.992(2) Å, V=7674.3(7) ų, Z=8. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P , with a=13.0540(11), b=14.2935(13), c=14.9863(13) Å, α=84.130(2), β=69.761(2), γ=87.749(2)°, V=2609.8(4) ų, Z=2. The coordination polyhedron about the Cu^I center in the two complexes is best described as a distorted tetrahedron. The ¹H‐NMR and electronic spectra of these complexes are also reported and discussed. The cyclic voltammetry of the complexes indicate a quasireversible redox behavior for complex 1 (E_1/2=0.51 V). However, complex 2 displays an irreversible oxidation wave at 0.91 V. A weak emission is observed for complex 2 in CHCl₃ at room temperature.     

Low‐Temperature Synthesis of Diamminesodium(1+) Triamminesodium(1+) Trithioantimonate(3−) Ammoniate (1 : 2 : 1 : 2) ([Na(NH3)3]2[Na(NH3)2]SbS3⋅2 NH3), A Solvated Neutral Sodium Trithioantimonate(3−) (3 : 1) Na3SbS3) Ion Complex

A solution of sodium in liquid ammonia reacts with Sb₂S₃ to form large colorless crystals of the composition Na₃SbS₃⋅10 NH₃. The trigonal‐pyramidal SbS₃³⁻ anion is ion‐paired with three Na⁺ counter ions, the coordination spheres of which are completed by eight ammine ligands. The resulting neutral [Na(NH₃)₃]₂[Na(NH₃)₂]SbS₃ molecules crystallize together with two ammonia molecules of solvation in the space group P2₁/c (a=9.828(2), b=6.0702(4), c=33.4377(6) Å, β=91.362(7)°, V=1994.2(5) ų, Z=4).
