Reaction of 6‐mercapto‐7H‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐d]tetrazole ( 1 ) wtih 1,2‐phenylenediamine afforded N‐{7H‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐d]tetrazol‐6‐yl}‐1,2‐phenylenediamine which was cyclized to benzimidazolyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐d]tetrazoles using various one‐carbon cyclizing agents. Also, the treatment of 1 with maleic anhydride or phthalic anhydride gave the corresponding thio derivatives followed by hydrazinolysis to afford the thio heterobicyclic systems. Former structures of the products have been established upon elemental and spectral analyses.     

First Synthesis of Double Headed 1,2,4‐Triazino[5,6‐b]indole Acyclo C‐Nucleosides

Heterocyclization of bis(2‐oxo‐indol‐3‐ylidene)‐galactaric acid hydrazide ( 3 ) with a variety of one‐nitrogen cyclizing agents gave the corresponding 1,4‐bis{1,2,4‐triazino[5,6‐b]indol‐3‐yl}‐galacto‐tetritols 4–8 . Acetylation of the latter double headed acyclo C‐nucleosides with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine at ambient temperature resulted in N‐ and O‐acetylation to give the corresponding 1,2,3,4‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐1,4‐bis{1,2,4‐triazino[5,6‐b]indol‐3‐yl}‐galacto‐tetritols 9–13 which were found to exist in centro‐symmetric zigzag conformations 20 . The assigned structures were corroborated by ¹H, ¹³C NMR as well as mass spectra.

1H{15N} GHMQC study of 5,7‐diphenyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine and 1H, 13C and 15N NMR coordination shifts in Au(III) chloride complexes of 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines

The ¹H{¹⁵N} NMR spectrum of 5,7‐diphenyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]‐pyrimidine ( 3 ) was measured by GHMQC, unambiguously assigned and compared with the spectra of 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) and 5,7‐dimethyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 2 ). A series of Au(III) chloride complexes of general formula AuLCl₃, where L = 1 , 2 , 3 , was synthesized and studied by ¹HH{¹⁵N} GHMQC and ¹H{¹³C} GHMBC. Low‐frequency shifts of 72–74 ppm (¹⁵N) and 5–6 ppm (¹³C) were observed upon complexation by Au(III) ions for the coordination site N‐3 and adjacent C‐2, C‐3a atoms, respectively. The ¹³C signals of C‐5, C‐6, C‐7 and the ¹H resonances of H‐2, H‐6 were shifted to higher frequency. Comparison with analogous Pd(II), Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes revealed that in the case of Au(III) coordination the ¹⁵N shifts were relatively smaller, whereas those for ¹³C and ¹H were larger.

New CuII and CdII Metal‐organic Coordination Polymers with 1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole Ligands: Syntheses,Structures and Luminescent Properties

Three new complexes {[Cu( L¹ )₂(NO₃)₂]?H₂O}_oo ( 1 ), {[Cu₄( L² )₂(OAc)₈]‐CH₃CH₂OH}_oo ( 2 ) and [Cd₂( L³ )₃(NO₃)₄(H₂O)₂]_oo ( 3 ) ( L¹= 4‐phenyl‐7‐(pyridine‐3‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole, L²= 4‐(pyridine‐3‐yl)‐7‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole, and L³= 4‐(pyridine‐4‐yl)‐7‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single crystal X‐ray diffraction.

Type 6 meso‐ionic [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐c]thiadiazoles were synthesised by oxidation of the corresponding N‐methyl‐N'‐(substitutedbenzal)‐5‐amino‐3‐substituted‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)thiohydrazide ( 3 ) type bases or their [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐d][1,2,3,6]tetrazepin‐5‐thion ( 4 ) type ring tautomers. Besides spectroscopical evidence a preparative proof of their structure was also provided. X‐ray diffraction analysis of 3‐methylthio‐6‐morpholino‐1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]thiadiazole ( 8 ) showed quite unusual bond lengths for the N¹‐S and S‐C³ bonds of the thiadiazole ring proving the meso‐ionic character of these derivatives unequivocally.

Treatment of 5a‐c and 6b,c with each of 4‐amino‐3‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐triazoles 9a,b and 4‐amino‐6‐phenyl‐3‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(4H)‐ones 13 in refluxing ethanol afforded the novel bis(s‐triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines) 10a‐d and 11a‐c as well as bis(as‐triazino[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines) 14a‐c and 15 , respectively, in good yields.

The assignment of the structures of synthesized compounds was made by thin‐layer chromatography, elemental analysis, IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry.

In an attempt to discover bicyclic compounds containing the 1,2,4‐triazine moiety, 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐d]‐1,2,4‐triazine‐5‐thiones from one pot reaction of arylnitriles with 4‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazine‐3‐thione‐5‐one in the presence of potassium tert‐butoxide were synthesized.     

Three AgI,CuI and CdII coordination polymers based on the new asymmetrical ligand 2‐{4‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]phenyl}‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole: syntheses,characterization and emission properties

The new asymmetrical organic ligand 2‐{4‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]phenyl}‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole ( L , C₁₇H₁₃N₅O), containing pyridine and imidazole terminal groups, as well as potential oxdiazole coordination sites, was designed and synthesized. The coordination chemistry of L with soft Ag^I, Cu^I and Cd^II metal ions was investigated and three new coordination polymers (CPs), namely, catena‐poly[[silver(I)‐μ‐2‐{4‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]phenyl}‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole] hexafluoridophosphate], {[Ag( L )]PF₆}_n, catena‐poly[[copper(I)‐di‐μ‐iodido‐copper(I)‐bis(μ‐2‐{4‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]phenyl}‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole)] 1,4‐dioxane monosolvate], {[Cu₂I₂( L )₂]·C₄H₈O₂}_n, and catena‐poly[[[dinitratocopper(II)]‐bis(μ‐2‐{4‐[(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]phenyl}‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole)]–methanol–water (1/1/0.65)], {[Cd( L )₂(NO₃)₂]·2CH₄O·0.65H₂O}_n, were obtained. The experimental results show that ligand L coordinates easily with linear Ag^I, tetrahedral Cu^I and octahedral Cd^II metal atoms to form one‐dimensional polymeric structures. The intermediate oxadiazole ring does not participate in the coordination interactions with the metal ions. In all three CPs, weak π–π interactions between the nearly coplanar pyridine, oxadiazole and benzene rings play an important role in the packing of the polymeric chains.
