Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes incorporating 2-(2′-pyridyl)quinoxaline and 4-carboxy-2-(2′-pyridyl)quinoline

Starting from cis-[Ru(dcbpyH₂)₂Cl₂] (1), two new heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes, [Ru(dcbpyH₂)₂(L¹)](NO₃)₂ (L^1?=?2-(2′-pyridyl)quinoxaline (2), and [Ru(dcbpyH₂)₂(L²)](NO₃)₂ (L^2?=?4-carboxy-2-(2′-pyridyl)quinoline (4); dcbpyH_2?=?2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid), were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. During the preparation of 2 and 4, the homoleptic [Ru(dcbpyH₂)₃]Cl₂ complex (3) was isolated as a side product. Characterization includes IR and Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, elemental, and ESI-mass spectrometric analyses.     

Molecular structure of 2,3-(4′-phenylacetyl)- and 2,3-(4′-diphenylacetyl)-benzo-15-crown-5

The conformational state of two benzo-crown ethers with substantially different physiological activity, 2,3-(4-phenylacetyl)- and 2,3-(4-diphenylacetyl)benzo-15-crown-5, was studied in crystals and solutions in CH₃CN and CCl₄ by x-ray crystallographic analysis, IR spectroscopy, and conformational calculations by the method of molecular mechanics. Transition from the crystalline state to solutions was found to be accompanied by a substantial change in the conformation of the macrocyclic ring of all the compounds studied. The nature of the substituent in the benzene ring and the polarity of the solvent have an influence on the conformational state of the macrocyclic ring of the free ligand, which, however, is not the determining factor in the change in the activity of the compounds. The COCCOC fragments of the macrocyclic framework are conformationally labile, readily passing from gauche to trans conformations and the reverse, which is promoted by the negligible energy barriers between the different conformations, determined in the work by a molecular mechanics method.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1819–1825, August, 1991.

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Europium(III) Coordination Polymer with 5-Sulfoisophthalate Trivalent Anions and Free 4,4′-Bipyridine Molecules

A novel europium(III) coordination polymer [Eu(Sip)(H₂O)₅]_n · nH₂O · 1.5n(Bipy) (I) (Sip is 5-sulfo-isophthalate trivalent anion and Bipy is 4,4-bipyridine) is hydrothermally synthesized and determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction method. Polymer I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a=30.7515(6) , b=10.9577(2) , c=17.5545(4) , =112.040(1)°, V=5483.0(2) ³, Z=4, final R ₁=0.0253 and wR ₂=0.0606. In I, each Eu³⁺ ion is coordinated by four oxygen atoms from two carboxylate groups of two different Sip anions and five oxygen atoms from five coordinated water molecules to complete a deformed monocap square antiprism. Moreover, each Sip anion acts as a tetradentate ligand to connect two adjacent Eu³⁺ ions through its two chelating carboxylate groups, resulting in one-dimensional linear chains. In addition, fifteen different kinds of hydrogen-bonding interactions link the chains, lattice water molecules, and free Bipy molecules to engender a complicated hydrogen-bonding network.__________From Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 5, 2005, pp. 391–396.Original English Text Copyright © 2005 by Hu Mao Lin, Cai Xiao Qing, Miao Qian, Xiao Hong Ping.This text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Metal derivatives of 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3-propanedione and N,N′-dimethyl-1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3-propanedione

Complexes of transition metal ions with the oxygen-nitrogen containing ligand 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3-propanedione (bpypH) have been synthesized. These present stoichiometries which do not conform with the usual tendency manifested by β-diketones, since molecular formulas with the composition M(bpyp)X are found. A nitrogen methylated ligand N,N′-dimethyl-1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3-propanedione methyl sulphate [dimebpypH] (MeSO₄)₂ has also been synthesized and its complexes with transition metal ions studied. The stoichiometries now, resemble those of typical β-diketones, namely [dimepyp]₂MX₄ with four anions because of the dicationic nature of the original ligand. This, together with IR evidence suggests a dual type of coordination by bpip via the β-diketone and the pyridyl moieties.     

Reduction of olefins,nitroarenes and Schiff base compounds by a polymer-supported [2-(2′-pyridyl)benzimidazole]palladium complex

2-(2′-Pyridyl)benzimidazole (PBIMH) was functionalized onto chloromethylated polystyrene beads crosslinked with 6.5 % divinylbenzene, and this solid support was then reacted with Na₂PdCl₄ in methanol. The functionalized beads were then activated using sodium borohydride. The resultant polymer-supported [2-(2′-pyridyl)benzimidazole]palladium complex (PSDVB–PBIM–PdCl₂) and its activated form were characterized by various physicochemical techniques. XPS studies confirmed the +2 oxidation state of palladium in the supported complex. The activated complex was found to catalyse the hydrogenation of various organic substrates including olefins, nitro and Schiff base compounds. Kinetic measurements for the hydrogenation of cyclopentene, cyclohexene and cyclooctene were carried out by varying temperature, catalyst and substrate concentration. The energy and entropy of activation were evaluated from the kinetic data. The catalyst showed an excellent recycling efficiency over six cycles without leaching of metal from the polymer support, whereas the unsupported complex was unstable as metal leached out into the solution during the first run.     

Potentiometric and Thermodynamic Studies of 5-(4′-Sulfonylazidophenylazo)-3-phenyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one and Its Metal Complexes

The proton dissociation constant of 5-(4-sulfonylazidophenylazo)-3-phenyl-2-thio- xothiazolidin-4-one (SPT) and the stability constants of its complexes with some metal ions were calculated potentiometrically in 0.1 M KCl and 40% (v/v) ethanol–water mixture. The order of stability was found to be Mn²⁺ < Co²⁺ < Ni²⁺ < Cu²⁺ < Zn²⁺. The effect of temperature on the dissociation of SPT and the stability of its complexes were studied. The corresponding thermodynamic functions were derived and discussed. The dissociation process is unspontaneous, endothermic, and entropically unfavorable. The formation of the metal complexes was found to be spontaneous, endothermic and entropically favorable.     

Some new derivatives of Cr(III) with uracil,uridine and 5′-UMP

Some new Cr(III) compounds with uracil, uridine and 5′-UMP were obtained by reaction of the starting complexes cis-[Cr(en)₂Cl₂]Cl and [Cr(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ with the base, nucleoside and nucleotide. The complexes were characterized by their elemental analysis, conductivity, reflectance and IR data. In the case of uracil and uridine compounds, indirect bonding of Cr(III) to the pyrimidine ring seems to occur through the C₄O and NH₃(NH₂) groups of the starting complexes. In the 5′-UMP complex direct bonding is inferred through the phosphate group with additional interactions by hydrogen bonds involving the C₄O group.
