Inclusion complexes of the natural product gossypol. Crystal structure of the 2:1 complex of gossypol with amyl acrylate

The crystal structure of the 2: 1 inclusion complex of gossypol with amyl acrylate has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of (C₃₀H₃₀O₈)₂C₈H₁₄O₂ are triclinic, space group P ,a = 14.425(2),b = 15.519(1),c = 16.409(2) Å, =97.89(1), = 117.80(1), =67.01(1)° (reduced cell:a = 14.425(2),b = 15.519(2),c = 16.017(2)Å, = 92.19(1), = 115.01(l), =67.01(1)°],V = 2986.7(5) ų,Z = 2,D _x = 1.31 g cm^–3, (CuK ) = 7.40 cm^–1,T = 292 K. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to the final R value of 0.059 for 5155 observed reflections. The gossypol molecules bonded via several hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric tetramers. The two independent gossypol molecules, A and B, are related within the tetramer by a local noncrystallographic 2-fold axis. The host molecules in the crystal form cavities in which two guest molecules are placed. The ester molecule interacts via a pair of C-...H-O hydrogen bonds with two gossypol molecules of the same chirality and belonging to the same tetramer unit. The amyloxy group of the ester molecule shows a very large thermal motion. It adopts a non-extended conformation in which it can be fitted into the cavity formed by the host molecules.     

The preparation, characterization, and thermal behaviour of some lithium aluminum oxides: Li3AlO3 and Li5AlO4

The purpose of this research was to study the best conditions for the synthesis of the double oxides Li₅AlO₄ and Li₃AlO₃ in the solid state starting from the simple oxides, and to determine their heats of formation.Li₅AlO₄ was obtained from Li₂O₂ or Li₂O and -Al₂O₃ in a Li/Al molar ratio of 51, and was characterized by X-ray methods. Lithium orthoaluminate, Li₃AlO₃, was obtained from Li₂O₂ and -Al₂O₃ in a molar ratio 31. The postulated formula, Li₃AlO₃, was confirmed by chemical analysis.The temperature ranges in which the compounds are stable were established by the DTA method, and were found to be very limited for Li₃AlO₃ (400–430°) but greater for Li₅AlO₄ (440 — more than 600°).The heats of formation of Li₅AlO₄ and Li₃A10₃, also determined by means of the DTA method, were found to be –552.3 ± 0.8 kcal/mole and –416.8 ± 2 kcal/mole, respectively.

Zusammenfassung Es wurden die Bildungsverhältnisse der doppelten Oxide Li₅AlO₄ und Li₃AlO₃ in fester Phase ausgehend von den einfachen Oxyden geprüft und ihre Bildungswärmen bestimmt. Li₅AlO₄ wurde aus Li₂O₂ oder Li₂O und -Al₂O₃ beim Molverhältnis von Li/Al 5 1 erhalten und röntgenographisch identifiziert. Das Orthoaluminat Li₃AlO₃ erhielt man beim Molverhältnis 3 1 von Li₂O₂ und -Al₂O₃. Die Zusammensetzung von Li₃AlO₃ wurde durch chemische Analyse nachgewiesen. Die DTA-Prüfung zeigte, daß Li₃AlO₃ nur im sehr kleinen Temperaturgebiet (400–430°), Li₅AlO₄ hingegen im weiteren Bereich zwischen 440–600° stabil ist. Die Bildungswärmen betrugen für Li₅AlO₄ –552.3±0.8, für Li₃AlO₃ –416.8±2 kcal/Mol.

Two heterometallic trinuclear complexes {[Cu(oxbp)]₂Co(H₂O)₂}1.5DMF0.5H₂O (complex 1) and {[Cu(oxbm)]₂Co(H₂O)₂}2DMF (complex 2) were obtained from the self-organization of two new dissymmetrical oxamidato-bridged copper(II) building blocks [Cu(oxbp)]^– and [Cu(oxbm)]^–[H₃oxbp=N-benzoato-N'-(3-aminopropyl)oxamido, H₃oxbm=N-benzoato-N'-(2-amino-2-methylethyl)oxamido, DMF=dimethylformamide]. The crystal structure of complex 1 has been determined. Complex 1 crystallize in triclinic system, space group P-1, a=8.0609(16) Å, b=10.661(2) Å, c=22.279(5) Å, =85.32(3), =86.64(3), =70.90(3), and Z=1. The crystal structure of complex 1 consists of neutral trinuclear complex units, and hydrogen bond involved DMF and water molecules. Through the hydrogen bonds, weak coordination and CuCu weak interactions, complex 1 features a 2-D supramolecular structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurements (5–100 K) indicate that the central Co(II) and terminal copper metal ions are antiferromagnetically coupled with J=–28.09 and J=–29.70 cm^–1 for complex 1 and 2, respectively.

Investigation of the redox properties of polynuclear “ladder” complexes containing Cr,Mn, and Fe

The redox potentials of new Cr, Mn, and Fe polynuclear ladder complexes, (⁵-Cp)Fe(CO)₂(¹,⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(CO)₂(¹,⁵-C₅H₄)Mn(CO)₃, (⁵-Cp)Fe(CO)₂(¹,⁵-C₅H₄)Mn(CO)₃, (⁵-Cp)Fe(CO)₂(¹,⁶-Ph)Cr(CO)₃, (⁵-Cp)Fe(CO)₂(¹,⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(CO)₂CH₂Ph, (⁵-Cp)Fe(CO)₂(¹,⁶-CH₂Ph)Cr(CO)₃, were measured and the mechanism of their electrochemical oxidation and reduction was suggested. It was shown that the - or -bonds of the bridging ligand can be cleaved selectively by applying cathodic or anodic potentials, respectively. On the basis of the obtained electrochemical data, a mechanism is suggested for the rearrangement observed when the complexes are metallated by butyllithium.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The phenomenon of conglomerate crystallization in coordination compounds. XXIII: The crystallization behavior of [cis-Co(en)2(N3)(SO3)] · 2H2O (I) and of [cis-Co(en)2(NO2)(SO3)] · H2O (II)

A room temperature water solution of (I) crystallizes as a racemate, space groupP2 ₁/n with lattice constantsa=7.737(6),b=10.694(5),c=15.097(6) Å, and=102.83(5)°;V=1218.05 ų andd (calc; M.W.=337.24, Z=4) = 1.642 g cm^–3. A total of 2381 data were collected over the range 4° 2 < 50°; of these, 1452 (independent and withI 3(I)) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption ( = 15.76 cm^–1), and the relative transmission coefficients ranged from 0.8976 to 0.9984. Refinement led to the finalR(F) andR _w(F) residuals of 0.0858 and 0.1116. A room temperature water solution of (II) crystallizes as a racemate in space group P2₁/c with lattice constantsa=6.638(3),b=11.425(8),c=15.147(16) Å, and=93.27(6)°; F=1146.8 Å andd (calc; M.W.=323.2,Z=4) = 1.872 g cm^–3. A total of 2200 data were collected over the range 4° 2 < 50°; of these, 1918 (independent and withI 3(I)) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption (=16.94 cm^–1), and the relative transmission coefficients ranged from 0.9049 to 0.9967. Refinement led to the finalR(F) andR _w(F) residuals of 0.0231 and 0.0279. The chirality symbol for the particular enantiomer of (I) refined here is (), while for (II) the chirality symbol is (), which means that in the latter compound one of the en rings is in a higher energy conformation. We attribute this result to competitive intramolecular hydrogen-bonded interactions between the — NH₂ hydrogens of the en ligands and the oxygens of the -NO₂ and -SO₃ ligands, strengths which are enhanced by coercing a change in sign of the torsional angle of one en ringa motion which permits both oxo ligands to form stronger hydrogen bonds while retaining proper O O contacts. This phenomenon is not observed in (I) since the azide ligand does not compete with -SO₃ for such hydrogen-bonded interactions, and nonbonded pair repulsions can be minimized without affecting the ability of — SO₃ oxygens to form strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds.

Two-electron atomic wave functions which satisfy proportionality relations between one-and two-electron moments

Based on momentum- and position-space analyses of the moment operators for two-electron atoms, it is shown that there exists a family of two-electron wave functions which satisfy a proportionality relation, r/ ₁ ^v /r ₁₂ ^v =p/ ₁ ^v /p ₁₂ ^v =2^–v/2, between the one and two-electron moments in position and momentum spaces, where v is an arbitrary number for which the moments are well-defined.     

Synthesis of dicationic triple-decker complexes with a central B-cyclohexyl-substituted borole ligand

Stacking reactions of the dicationic fragments [LM]²⁺ (LM = (-C₆H₆)Ru, (-C₆H₃Me₃)Ru, or (-C₅Me₅)Rh) with the complex (-C₅H₅)Co(-C₄H₄BCy) (Cy = cyclo-C₆H₁₁) afforded new dicationic 30-electron triple-decker complexes [(-C₅H₅)Co(-:-C₄H₄BCy)ML](BF₄)₂ containing a cyclohexyl-substituted borole ligand in the central position.     

19-Electron arenecyclopentadienyl complexes of ruthenium

A series of are necyc lope ntadienyl complexes,i. e., [Ru(⁵-c₅R₅)(⁶- are ne)]⁺ (1, R= H, arene = C₆H₆; 2, R = Me, arme = C₆H₆; 3, R = H, arctic = C₆H₃Me₃; 4, R = Me, arene = C₆H₃Me₃; 5, R = H, arene = C₆Me₆; 6, R = Me, arene = C₆Me₆) was studied by cyclic voltammetry. These compounds are capable of both oxidation and reduction. The reduction potential values depend on the number of methyl groups in the complex. Reduction of benzene complexes I and 2 by sodium amalgam in THF leads to the formation of decomplexation products, the addition of hydrogen to benzene, and dimerization of the benzene ligands. Both chemical and electrochemical reductions of mesitylene complexes3 and4 result in dimeric products [(⁵-C₅R₅)Ru(-⁵;⁵-Me₃H₃C₆H₃Me₃)Ru(⁵-C₅R₅)] (14, R = H; 15, R = Me). The action of sodium amalgam on compound5 gives products of hydrogen addition to both hexamethylbenzene (17) and cyclopentadienyl (18) ligands along with the major product, the dimer [⁵-C₅H₅)Ru(-⁵; ⁵-Me₆C₆C₆Me₆)Ru(⁵-C₅H₅)] (16). In contrast to5, its permcthylated analog 6 is only capable of adding hydrogen to the hexamethylbenzene ligand.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The electronic spectrum of acrylonitrile

The vapor absorption spectrum of acrylonitrile CH₂CHCN has been measured in the vacuum ultraviolet region. In addition, an all-valence-electron molecular orbital calculation has been used to calculate the electronic structure and spectrum of the molecule. On the basis of the MO calculation, as well as a vibrational analysis of the observed spectrum, several electronic transitions are assigned. The lowest energy absorption band (2107Å, = 150) is assigned as an n ^* transition. Absorption bands at 2030Å (=1600), 1725Å ( = 2100), and 1570Å ( = 1920) are assigned as 0–0 bands associated with transitions that are, respectively, ^*,^*, and ^* in character.

The structure and harmonic vibrational frequencies of the weakly bound complexes formed by HF with CO,CO2 and N2O

The structure and harmonic vibrational frequencies of several weakly bound complexes formed by HF are reported. Theab initio MP2 approach is used with large basis sets for the optimisation of geometries and the determination of harmonic frequencies. COHF and OCHF are examined; both are found to be minima, with the latter being the dominant structure. The linear OCOHF andT shaped OCOFH are studied, but only the linear structure is a minimum. N₂OHF has two minima on the surface corresponding to bent NNOHF and linear ONNHF structures.
