Nanocomposite-based inorganic-organocatalyst Cu(II) complex and SiO2- and Fe3O4 nanoparticles as low-cost and efficient catalysts for aniline and 2-aminopyridine oxidation

Bis-imino Cu(II) complex (CuLAn₂), in which the imine ligand (HLAn) acts as a bidentate chelating ligand, was synthesized. The catalytic potential of the inorganic-organocatalyst was studied homogeneously and heterogeneously in the oxidation of aniline and 2-aminopyridine by H₂O₂ or tBuOOH. Two heterogeneous inorganic-organocatalysts, CuLAn₂@Fe₃O₄ and CuLAn₂@SiO₂@Fe₃O₄, were synthesized by the successful immobilization of CuLAn₂ on the Fe₃O₄ surface and the composited Fe₃O₄ with SiO₂, respectively. The heterogeneous structure of those inorganic-organocatalysts was confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and magnetic properties. The adsorption–desorption isotherms revealed respectable adsorption parameters (S_BET, V_p, and r_p). All catalysts exhibited high potential in the oxidation of aniline (with phenylhydroxylamine as the main product) and good potential in the oxidation of 2-aminopyridine, in the first attempt (with 2-nitropyridine-N-oxide and 2-nitrosopyridine-N-oxide as main products), at room temperature. Acetonitrile was found to be the best solvent compared to ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, chloroform, and water. The homogeneous catalyst exhibited reusability for three times. The heterogeneous catalysts, CuLAn₂@Fe₃O₄ and CuLAn₂@SiO₂@Fe₃O₄, were active for five and seven times, respectively. A mechanism was proposed within electron and oxygen transfer processes.     

Hydrothermal synthesis, X-ray structure and complex magnetic behaviour of Ba4(C2O4)Cl2[[Fe(C2O4)(OH)]4

Hydrothermal reaction of iron(III) chloride, barium chloride and sodium oxalate in a narrow stoichiometry range produces the title compound Ba4(C2O4)Cl2[[Fe(C2O4)(OH)]4] (1). This new iron(II) oxalate crystallises in the tetragonal space group P42/mnm: a = 13.811(3), c = 7.026(2) A. The structure consists of parallel chains of mu2-hydroxy-bridged iron(II) ions. These are connected by bridging oxalates to form an anionic framework with large channels that contain the remaining barium, chloride and oxalate counter ions. Magnetisation studies on an oriented single crystal of 1 revealed a magnetic phase transition at 32 K and a strong easy-plane anisotropy at all temperatures. Above Tc the compound behaves as an S = 2XY antiferromagnetic chain, showing a broad maximum in the susceptibility at about 70 K. We determined the intrachain coupling J and the interchain coupling J' to be -7 cm(-1) and +0.4 cm(-1), respectively. The low-temperature phase is an ordered antiferromagnetic state. Zero- and longitudinal-field muon spin-rotation/relaxation studies support this interpretation; below Tc oscillations in the muon spin-autocorrelation function are observed giving unambiguous evidence for a non-zero sublattice magnetisation and proof of a long-range magnetically ordered state.     

The first oxovanadium ring in [[O[double bond]V(salen)]2(mu-F)][VO(salen)][BF4].(CH2Cl2)x crystals

The crystal structure of [{O=VV(salen)}2(mu-F)][VIVO(salen)][BF4].(CH2Cl2)x revealed a hollow cavity with a diameter of 5.3 A that penetrates through the crystal, and a remarkable cyclic chain of the [VO(salen)] unit, a motif that has never been fashioned from oxometal building blocks. These features endow the crystal with a molecular sievelike property for the rapid, reversible, and size-selective absorption of guest CH2Cl2 molecules.     

Crystal structure and catalytic properties of a vanadium complex cis-[VO2(Him-py)(im-py)]2·3H2O

Abstract

The coordination behavior of Him-py (2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine) toward vanadium has been explored. The six-coordinate complex, cis-[VO₂(Him-py)(im-py)]₂·3H₂O (1), was synthesized by the coordination reaction of NH₄VO₃ and Him-py in the aqueous methanol solution, which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray technology. It belongs to the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a?=?8.0756(6), b?=?19.3531(15), c?=?11.4433(8), β?=?106.905(2), V?=?1711.2(2), and Z?=?2. The crystal structure shows that the six-coordinate vanadium is bonded to two cis-oxido ligands and two bidentate ligands, Him-py and im-py. Interestingly, when crystals of 1 were immersed in H₂O₂, a peroxovanadium compound, (H₂im-py)[OV(O₂)₂(Him-py)] (2), was obtained, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with a?=?22.600(2), b?=?22.7259(13), c?=?18.0146(11), V?=?9252.4(12), and Z?=?16, and consists of a seven-coordinate peroxovanadate(V) ion, one Him-py and one H₂im-py ligand. Moreover, we also studied the catalytic activity of 1 in the oxidative bromination of phenol/aniline-like compounds towards mimicking bromoperoxidase reactivity.

Synthesis and X-ray structure of novel 2- and 3-heteroatom-substituted ansa-zirconocene complexes

New ansa-zirconocene complexes with amino (8-11) and alkoxy (12) substituents attached to the η⁵-bonded indenyl fragment have been synthesized by the reaction of ZrCl₄ with the appropriate dilithium salt in toluene. In addition to HRMS, NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, all new metallocenes have been characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. Crystallographic analysis showed that heteroatom substituents, especially those in the 3-position on the indenyl ligand, have a substantial effect on the structure of metallocenes leading to an increase in the gap aperture in those complexes. Slippage of the indenyl fragments toward η³-bonding was found to correlate with the electron donating ability of the substituent in the 3-position, being larger for amino than alkoxy substituents. Based upon the amount of slippage, 3-amino-substituted indenyl complexes bear strong resemblance to a fluorenyl complexes.
