Spectroscopic and electrochemical studies on (2-hydroxypicolinate)-bis(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) and related complexes

Summary The synthesis, spectra and electrochemistry of [Ru(bipy)₂-(picOH)]⁺ and -picO-[Ru(bipy)₂]₂ ²⁺ (bipy = 2,2-bipyridine and picOH = 3-hydroxypicolinate ion) are described. The spectroscopic properties in the visible region are dominated by the intense Ru bipy chargetransfer transitions. In the binuclear complex, the two [Ru(bipy)₂L]²⁺ moieties are nonequivalent, exhibiting E _1/2 = 0.69 and 1.20 V versus s.h.e. The partially oxidized species exhibits a weak intervalence transfer band at 1085 nm, and is consistent with a Robin-Day class II mixed valence complex.     

Network polymers based on 3,3-bis-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)phthalide and [2.2]paracyclophane-4,16-dicarboxylic acid

A linear ester is synthesized on the basis of phenolphthalein and [2.2]paracyclophane-4,16-dicarboxylic acid dichloride. The formation of network polymers via the heat treatment of this ester in a wide temperature range is studied. The physical properties of these polymers are investigated. The computer-aided simulation of several physical parameters (including the glass-transition temperature and the dielectric constant) is performed for both the linear polymer and feasible network structures. There is a good correlation between the experimental results and the calculated data.     

A New Short Synthesis of 3, 3′-Methylene Bis[Coumarins] and 3,3-Methylene Bis[2-Diethylaminoquinolines]

Hitherto unknown six symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted methylene bis(coumarins) and two methylene bis(quinolines) are synthesised by using 1:2 complex of N, N, N', N'-tetraethyl glutaramide with POCl₃ and its condensation with substituted salicyl-aldehydes and o-formyl acetanilides.     

Stepwise synthesis and characterization of oligomers based on 1,1′-binaphthol with 3,3′-acetylene spacer

A selective mono de-iodination led to an alternative preparation of a mono-iodo binaphthol-derivative in high yield. With the mono-iodo compound, several structurally well-defined, 1,1′-binaphthol-based optically active oligomers with a 3,3′-acetylene spacer were synthesized through palladium catalyzed, stepwise-coupling methods. The electrical and photo-physical properties of the oligomers have been examined. The electrical, photo-absorption, excitation and fluorescent data for various oligomers indicated that there is a very limited conjugation present between the naphthylene rings. The atropic of 1,1′-binaphthyl moiety led to twist and rigid main chain in the oligomers and polymers. With the changes of the external environment such as solvents, solvent viscosity and ambient temperature, the wavelengths of absorption and fluorescence and the intensities of absorption are changed slightly, but the fluorescent intensity and quantum yield can be influenced. The luminescent behaviors of the longer chain oligomer exhibit the twisted intramolecular charge transfer characteristic, which has a potential application in wavelength-stable light emitting material adaptable to ambient temperature and the solvent used in wide range.     

Syntheses of spiro[indazole-3,3′-indolin]-2′-ones and spiro[indazole-3,3′-indolin]-2′-imines via 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of arynes and studies on their isomerization reactions

A 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of arynes with 3-diazoindolin-2-ones under mild conditions in excellent yields has been developed, which allows facile access to a library of labile spiro[indazole-3,3′-indolin]-2′-ones. Spiro[indazole-3,3′-indolin]-2′-imines could be obtained as well following the same protocol. The isomerization reaction of spiro[indazole-3,3′-indolin]-2′-ones under thermal or acidic conditions has been efficiently achieved to afford a wide range of indazolo-[2,3-c]quinazolin-6(5H)-ones and the one-pot synthesis of indazolo-[2,3-c]quinazolin-6(5H)-ones from arynes and 3-diazoindolin-2-ones is also described. Whereas, spiro[indazole-3,3′-indolin]-2′-imines could not undergo the same rearrangement.     

Spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of cyclopalladated complexes of 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline and 2,2′,3,3′-tetraphenyl-6,6′-biquinoline

Comparative study of cyclopalladated ethylenediamine complexes of 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline (Hdphqx) [Pd(dphqx)En]ClO₄ and 2,2′,3,3′-tetraphenylbiquinoline (H₂tphbq) [(PdEn)₂(μ-tphbq)](ClO₄)₂, and the free heterocyclic ligands was performed by means of ¹H NMR spectroscopy, electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. It was shown that cyclopalladation gives rise to a long-wave absorption band in the visible spectrum, a batochromic shift of the vibrationally structured phosphorescence band, and an anodic shift of the ligand-centered reduction potential of the complexes com-pared to free ligands.     

Synthesis and Investigation of Mass Spectra of 3-[5′-(2′-Substituent)thienyl]benzo[5,6]coumarins

3-[5'-(2'-Hydroxycarbonyl)thienyl]benzo[5,6]coumarin ( 3 ) was prepared via condensation of 2 with thioglycolic acid in the presence of AcONa and Ac 2 O. Esterification of 3 with alcohols gave 3-[5'-(2'-alkoxycarbonyl)thienyl]benzo[5,6]-coumarins ( 4a , b ). The chemical behavior of 4 toward nucleophilic reagents (such as ammonia, hydroxyl amine, and hydrazine derivatives) is described. The electron impact ionization mass spectra of compounds 4b , 5 , and 8a , b show a weak molecular ion peak and a base peak of m / z 278 resulting from a cleavage fragmentation. In contrest compounds 3 and 4a show a base peak of m / z 250 and m / z 74 resulting from fragmentation. Compounds 9 and 10 give a characteristic fragmentation pattern with a very stable fragment of m / z 305.     

Synthesis,characterization and properties of 3,3′-diethyl-1,1′-oxydiethylenedicarbonyl bis(thiourea)

In this paper, 3,3′-diethyl-1,1′-oxydiethylenedicarbonyl bis(thiourea) (DEOECTU), was synthesized by phase transfer catalysis and then characterized by UV, elemental analysis, infrared spectra, mass spectrum, ¹H NMR and TGA. DEOECTU properties, such as response to metal ions, adsorption on sulfide mineral surfaces, and hydrometallurgical performance as flotation collectors, were also investigated. The results indicated that DEOECTU reacted chemically with Cu²⁺ ions through its S and N atoms in the C(=S)–NH–C(=O) group to form a new chelate compound, but no reaction of DEOECTU with Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺, Fe³⁺ or Fe²⁺ ions was observed. The results of adsorption and flotation experiments demonstrated, that compared to pyrite, sphalerite and galena, DEOECTU exhibited a superior collecting power for chalcopyrite and might attach on chalcopyrite surface by chemisorption. The further theoretical analysis from Pearson’s HSAB view point briefly explained the experimental results of the selective response of DEOECTU to Cu²⁺ ions and chalcopyrite.

Abstract

2,2′,3,3′,5,5′-Hexaphenyl-[1,1′,-biphenyl]-4,4′-diol (Ib), which is prepared by the oxidative coupling of 2,3,6-triphenylphenol, and its oxidized form (IIIb) constitute a powerful oxidation-reduction system. The oxidative coupling reaction is carried out in the presence of molecular oxygen with copper(I) chloride as a catalyst and butyronitrile as ligand and solvent. An approach to the incorporation of such biphenols into an oxidation-reduction polymer is presented.

Synthesis,spectral characterization and redox studies of [1-alkyl-2-(naphthyl-β-azo)imidazole] palladium(II) catecholates

1-Alkyl-2-(naphthyl--azo)imidazoles [-NaiR; R = Me (a), Et (b), CH₂Ph (c)] react with Pd(MeCN)₂Cl₂ to yield Pd(-NaiR)Cl₂ (2), the i.r. spectra of which support the presence of a cis-PdCl₂ configuration. The complexes react with catechols in the presence of Et₃N to yield ternary complexes [Pd(-NaiR)(O,O)] [O,O = pyrocatecholato (cat) (3), 4-t-butylcatecholato (tbcat) (4), 3,5-di-t-butylcatecholato (dtbcat) (5), and tetrachlorocatecholato (tccat) (6)], which were characterized by elemental analysis, i.r. and ¹H-n.m.r. spectral data. Redox studies by cyclic voltammetry suggest the existence of four successive redox couples wherein two responses, positive to s.c.e. are due to catechol to semiquinone and semiquinone to quinone oxidation, respectively; the couples at negative to s.c.e. are referred to azo reductions. The complexes exhibit ligand-ligand charge-transfer transitions in the near-i.r. region. The band position is largely dependent upon the substitutent on the catechol frame and exhibits negative solvatochromic effects. The transition is qualitatively assigned as the HOMO (cat) LUMO (-NaiR) transition. This fact is also supported by theoretical calculations using the PM3 method.     

Bis(1,8-naphthylimides) and bis(1′,8′-naphthoylene-1,2-benzimidazoles) based on new bis(naphthalic anhydrides)

The reaction of bis(naphthalic anhydrides) with aniline and o-phenylenediamine under conditions of hightemperature cyclocondensation in m-cresol in the presence of a catalyst (benzoic acid) gives bis(1,8-naphthylimides) and bis(1,8-naphthoylene-1,2-benzimidazoles) which model the elementary units of polyimides and polynaphthoylenebenzimidazoles, respectively.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 649–652, May, 1991.     

Reactions of Bis(β-Alaninato) Metal(II) Complexes with Formaldehyde and Benzamide: The Crystal Structure of Bis[N-Methyl-N-(N′-Methyl-Benzamido)-β-Alaninato]Copper(II) Monohydrate and Characterization of Bis[N,N-DI(N′-Methylbenzamido)-β-Alaninato]Metal(II) Complexes

The bis[N-methyl-N-(N'-methylbenzamido)-β-alaninato]copper(II), Cu(II)[Me-MeBA]₂, is synthesized by reacting bis(β-alaninato)copper(II) with formaldehyde and benzamide in the presence of a base (NaOH) over the pH range 5.5-8.5. However, the bis[N,N-di (N'-methylbenzamido)-β-alaninato]metal(II) complexes, M(II)[DMeBA]₂ (M = Zn, Ni, Co), are obtained when the respective bis(β-alaninato)metal(II) reacts with formaldehyde and benzamide in the presence of the base in similar pH ranges. Nevertheless, Cu(II)[DMeBA]₂ can be synthesized if the reaction is carried out in the absence of base. The M(II)[DMeBA]₂ complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Visible spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. X-ray crystal structure analysis of Cu(II)[Me-MeBA]₂ suggests that the N'-methylbenzamido substituent of the β-alanine moiety is formed through Mannich aminomethylation, and that the other N-methyl substituent is formed via a Canizzaro-type methylation.     

Crystal and Molecular Structure of Bi-1,1′-(3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline)

Spectroscopic and structural studies of 6,6′-bis(N-methylhydrazine)-2,2′-bipyridine and its mononuclear copper(II) complex

The tetradentate ligand, 6,6′-bis(N-methylhydrazine)-2,2′-bipyridine (L) and its mononuclear copper(II) complex [Cu(L)](ClO₄)₂] (1) have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of L and 1 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both crystallize in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group with crystallographic inversion symmetry. The ligand adopts a planar transoid configuration in the solid state. In 1, the Cu(II) is six-coordinate octahedral, defined by N₄O₂ donors from ligand and two perchlorates. The molecular units are connected by intermolecular H-bonds between the hydrazino group of the one unit and coordinated perchlorate of the neighboring two units via N–H ··· O to furnish a 2-D network. Coordinated perchlorates also form an intramolecular H-bond with hydrazine influencing the crystal packing.     

Bis(2,2′-bipyridine)cobalt(III) complexes containing asymmetric ligands: Synthesis,DNA-binding and photocleavage studies

Three new Co^III complexes: [Co(bpy)₂(pdtb)]³⁺ (1), [Co(bpy)₂(pdta)]³⁺ (2) and [Co(bpy)₂(pdtp)]³⁺ (3) have been synthesized and characterized. The DNA binding behavior of the Co^III complexes has been investigated by spectroscopic methods and viscosity measurements. The results indicate that the size and shape of the intercalated ligand have a marked effect on the binding affinity of complexes involving CT-DNA. Complexes (2) and (3) have been found to promote cleavage of plasmid pBR 322 DNA from the supercoiled form I to the open circular form II upon irradiation. Photocleavage mechanisms are proposed.
