Abstract

By reaction of organylchlorophosphanes with sodium dithiocarbamates compounds of the type RP(S₂CNR₂′)₂ with R = CH₃, C₆H₅; R' = CH₃, C₂H₅, CH(CH₃)₂, C₆H₅ and of the type (C₆H₅)₂PS₂CNR₂′ with R' = CH₃, CH(CH₃)₂ as well as compound [(C₆H₅)₂PS₂CN(CH₃)CH₂-]₂ are obtained. The crystal structure of C₆H₅P(S₂CN(C₂H₅)₂)₂ shows that the trend from bidentate to monodentate bonding of the dithiocarbamate ligands in the homologous series RE(S₂CN(C₂H₅)₂)₂; E = Bi, Sb, As, P is continued for E = P.

Durch Umsetzung der jeweiligen Chlorophosphane mit den entsprechenden Natriumdithiocarbamaten können folgende Verbindungen erhalten werden: Verbindungen des Typs RP(S₂CNR₂′)₂ mit R = CH₃, C₆H₅; R' = CH₃, C₂H₅, CH(CH₃)₂, C₆H₅; Verbindungen des Typs (C₆H₅)₂PS₂CNR₂′ mit R' = CH₃, CH(CH₃)₂ sowie [(C₆H₅)₂PS₂CN(CH₃)CH₂-]₂. Die Kristallstruktur von C₆H₅P(S₂CN(C₂H₅)₂)₂ zeigt, daß sich der Trend zu schwächer ausgeprägter zweizähniger Bindungsweise der Dithiocarbamatliganden in der homologen Reihe RE(S₂CN(C₂H₅)₂)₂; E = Bi, Sb, As, P für E = P fortsetzt.     

Syntheses and structures of two new uranyl complexes [UO2(DPDPU)2(NO3)2](C6H5CH3) and [UO2(PMBP)2(DPDPU)](CH3C6H4CH3)0.5

Two new uranyl complexes [UO₂(DPDPU)₂(NO₃)₂](C₆H₅CH₃) (1) and [UO₂(PMBP)₂ (DPDPU)](CH₃C₆H₄CH₃)_0.5 (2), (DPDPU?=?N,N′-dipropyl-N,N′-diphenylurea, HPMBP?= 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazolone-5) were synthesized and characterized.

The coordination geometry of the uranyl atom in 2 is distorted pentagonal bipyramidal, coordinated by one oxygen atom of one DPDPU molecule and four oxygen atoms of two chelating PMBP molecules.     

Past,present and future of the clathrate inclusion compounds built of cyanometallate hosts

One-, two- and three-dimensional CN-bridged metal complex structures made up of building blocks such as linear [Ag(CN)₂]^–, square planar [Ni(CN)₄]^2– or tetrahedral [Cd(CN)₄]^2–, and of the complementary ligands such as ammonia, water, unidentate amine, bidentate a,w- diaminoalkane, etc., are reviewed with an emphasis on their behaviour as hosts to afford clathrate inclusion compounds with guest molecules and as self-assemblies to form supramolecular structures with or without guests. The historical background is explained for Prussian blue and Hofmann's benzene clathrate based on their single crystal structure determinations. The strategies the author and coworkers have been applying to develop varieties of clathrate inclusion compounds from the Hofmann-type are demonstrated with the features observed for the developed structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods.Abbreviations for Ligands and Guests mma NMeH₂ - dma NMe₂H - tma NMe₃ - mea NH₂(CH₂)₂OH - en NH₂(CH₂)₂NH₂ - pn NH₂CHMeCH₂NH₂ - tn NH₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ - dabtn NH₂(CH₂)₄NH₂ - daptn NH₂(CH₂)₅NH₂ - dahxn NH₂(CH₂)₆NH₂ - dahpn NH₂(CH₂)₇NH₂ - daotn NH₂(CH₂)₈NH₂ - danon NH₂(CH₂)₉NH₂ - dadcn NH₂(CH₂)₁₀NH₂ - mtn NMeH(CH₂)₃NH₂ - dmtn NMe₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ - detn NEt₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ - temtn NMe₂(CH₂)₃NMe₂ - dien NH₂(CH₂)₂NH(CH₂)₂NH₂ - pXdam p-C₆H₄(NH₂CH₂)₂ - rnXdam m-C₆H₄(NH₂CH₂)₂ - py C₅H₅N pyridine - ampy NH₂C₅H₄N aminopyridine - Clpy CIC₅H₄N chloropyridine - Mepy MeC₅H₄N methylpyridine - dmpy Me₂C₅H₃N dimethylpyridine - bpy NC₅H₄C₅H₄N bipyridine - quin C₇H₉N quinoline - iquin iso-C₇H₉N isoquinoline - qxln C₈H₆N₂ quinoxaline - Pe C₅H₁₁-pentyl imH: C₃N₂H₄ imidazole - pyrz N(CHCH)₂N pyrazine - Mequin MeC₇H₈N methylquinoline - bppn C₁₃H₁₄N₂ 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane - bpb C₁₄H₈N₂ 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)butadiyne - N-Meim C₃N₂H₃Me N-methylimidazole - 2-MeimH C₃N₂H₃Me 2-methylimidazole - dmf HOCNMe₂ dimethylformamide - hmta C₆H₁₂N₄ hexamethylenetetramine - o-phen C₁₂H₈N₂ 1,10-phenanthroline - den HN(CH₂CH₂)₂NH piperazine - morph HN(CH₂CH₂)₂O morpholine - ten N(CH₂CH₂)₃N 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane - ameden NH₂(CH₂)₂N(CH₂CH₂)₂NH N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine Presented at the Sixth International Seminar on Inclusion Compounds, Istanbul, Turkey, 27–31 August, 1995.     

A structural hierarchy in the hydrogen‐bonded adduct N,N′‐di­methyl­piperazine–tartaric acid–water (1/2/2): an N‐component N‐dimensional structure (N = 3) with substructures having N = 1 and 2

In the hydrated adduct N,N′‐di­methyl­piperazine‐1,4‐diium bis(3‐carboxy‐2,3‐di­hydroxy­propanoate) dihydrate, [MeNH(CH₂CH₂)₂NHMe]²⁺·2(C₄H₅O₆)^?·2H₂O or C₆H₁₆N₂²⁺·2C₄H₅O₆^?·2H₂O, formed between racemic tartaric acid and N,N′‐di­methyl­piperazine (triclinic P, Z′ = 0.5), the cations lie across centres of inversion. The anions alone form chains, and anions and water mol­ecules together form sheets; the sheets are linked by the cations to form a pillared‐layer framework. The supramolecular architecture thus takes the form of a family of N‐dimensional N‐component structures having N = 1, 2 or 3.     

Nitrogen-15 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. N?H proton exchange reactions of urea and substituted ureas

Proton-coupled nitrogen-15 NMR spectra of urea, N-methylurea, N,-N′-dimethylurea, N-methyl-N′-benzylurea and N-phenylurea have been obtained at natural abundance level in neutral, basic and acidic solutions at 25°C. Base-catalyzed N? H proton exchange of the ? NH₂ group of N-methylurea in water was found to be 1.5 times faster than that for the -NH- group, while the corresponding acid-catalyzed exchange is 7.5 times faster. Comparison of urea and N,-N′-dimethylurea in water shows urea to be 10 times faster in base but 2 times slower in acid. The ratio of the base-catalyzed N? H proton exchanges of the two -NH- groups of N-methyl-N′-benzylurea in dimethyl sulfoxide is close to unity, whereas the CH₃NH- group exchanges 4 times faster in acid. Similarly, the C₆H₅NH- group of N-methyl-N′-phenylurea exchanges 50 times faster than the CH₃NH- group in base and about 3 orders of magnitude slower in acid. The results are rationalized by consideration of steric and electronic effects.     

Syntheses and structures of four new mixed‐amide phosphoric triamides

Phosphoric triamides have extensive applications in biochemistry and are also used as O‐donor ligands. Four new mixed‐amide phosphoric triamide structures, namely rac‐N‐tert‐butyl‐N′,N′′‐dicyclohexyl‐N′′‐methylphosphoric triamide, C₁₇H₃₆N₃OP, (I), rac‐N,N′‐dicyclohexyl‐N′‐methyl‐N′′‐(p‐tolyl)phosphoric triamide, C₂₀H₃₄N₃OP, (II), N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexyl‐N′′‐methylphosphoric triamide, C₁₉H₃₈N₃OP, (III), and 2‐[cyclohexyl(methyl)amino]‐5,5‐dimethyl‐1,3,2λ⁵‐diazaphosphinan‐2‐one, C₁₂H₂₆N₃OP, (IV), have been synthesized and studied by X‐ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods. Structures (I) and (II) are the first diffraction studies of acyclic racemic mixed‐amide phosphoric triamides. The P—N bonds resulting from the different substituent –N(CH₃)(C₆H₁₁), (C₆H₁₁)NH–, 4‐CH₃‐C₆H₄NH–, (tert‐C₄H₉)NH– and –NHCH₂C(CH₃)₂CH₂NH– groups are compared, along with the different molecular volumes and electron‐donor strengths. In all four structures, the molecules form extended chains through N—H…O hydrogen bonds.     

Two binuclear tetracarboxylate-bridged complexes: syntheses,structures, and properties

Cu₂(C₉N₅H₉)₂(C₆H₅CO₂)₄ (1) and Zn₂(C₉N₅H₉)₂(C₁₀H₇CH₂CO₂)₄ (2) have been synthesized by hydrothermal methods with 2,4-diamine-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine (phdat) and aromatic carboxylic acid (benzoic acid (ba) or naphthylacetic acid (naa)) as ligands and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffractions, elemental analyses, infrared spectra, magnetism, fluorescence spectra, and thermogravimetric analyses. In 1 and 2, the two metals are bridged by four carboxylates in paddle-wheel-shaped binuclear [M₂(CO₂)₄] units (M=Cu (1) and Zn (2)) and coordinated by one nitrogen from phdat, forming five-coordinate centers. The temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility of 1 was obtained from 300 to 2?K, showing an anti-ferromagnetic interaction between Cu(II)'s. Compound 2 exhibits solid state fluorescence at 404?nm upon excitation at 304?nm.

The chloro-bridged dinuclear compound [{Pd[5-(COH)C₆H₃C(H)N(Cy)-C2,N]}(μ-Cl)]₂ (1), reacts with tertiary diphosphines in 1:1 molar ratio to give [{Pd[5-(COH)C₆H₃C(H)NCy-C2,N](Cl)}₂(μ-Ph₂PRPPh₂)] (R: CH₂, 2; CH₂CH₂, 3; (CH₂)₄, 4; (CH₂)₆, 5; Fe(C₅H₄)₂, 6; trans-CHCH, 7; C≡C, 8). Treatment of 1 with Ph₂PCH₂CH₂AsPh₂ (arphos) gives the dinuclear complex [{Pd[5-(COH)C₆H₃C(H)N(Cy)-C2,N](Cl)}₂(μ-Ph₂PCH₂CH₂AsPh₂)] (9). The reaction of 1 with tertiary diphosphines or arphos in 1:2 molar ratio in the presence of NH₄PF₆ yields the mononuclear compounds [Pd{5-(COH)C₆H₃C(H)NCy-C2,N}(Ph₂PRPPh₂-P,P)][PF₆] (R: (CH₂)₄, 10; (CH₂)₆, 11; Fe(C₅H₄)₂, 12; 1,2-C₆H₄, 13; cis-CHCH, 14; NH, 15) and [Pd{5-(COH)C₆H₃C(H)N(Cy)-C2,N}(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂AsPh₂-P,As)][PF₆] (16). ¹H-, ³¹P-{¹H}- and ¹³C-{¹H}-NMR, IR and mass spectroscopic data are given.

Two rare-earth metal coordination compounds, (NH₄)₄[Sm^III₂(Httha)₂]·16H₂O (1) (H₆ttha?=?triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N′′,N′′′,N′′′-hexaacetic acid) and (NH₄)₄[Sm^III₂(dtpa)₂]·10H₂O (2) (H₅dtpa?=?diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N′′,N′′-pentaacetic acid), have been synthesized through reflux and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Sm^III of (NH₄)₄[Sm^III₂(Httha)₂]·16H₂O (1) is nine-coordinate, forming tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination with three amine nitrogens and six oxygens, in which four oxygens are from one ttha and two from the other ttha.

Organische Phosphorverbindungen XXXVIII. Darstellung und Eigenschaften von Tris-(dialkoxyphosphonyl-methyl)-, Tris-(alkoxyphosphinyl-methyl)-und Tris-(oxophosphoranyl-methyl)-phosphinsäureestern sowie der entsprechenden Säuren [1]

Tris-chloromethyl-phosphine oxide, (ClCH₂₎₃ P?O(I), is obtained by chlorination of (HOCH₂₎₃P?O with PCl₅ or (C₆H₅₎₃PCl₂, and also by oxidation of (CICH₂₎₃P?O and (ClCh₂₎₂(CH₃)P?O. High yields of tris-(dialkyloxyphosphonly-methyl)-phosphine oxides, [RO₂(O)PCH_2]2P?O (II) (R?CH₃, C₂H₅, iso-C₃H₇, n-C₄H₉, 2- ethyl-hexyl), tris (alkyloxyphosphinyl-methyl)-phosphine oxides, [R₂(O)PCH_2]3P?O(R = C₆H₅, CH₃) are obtained by heating tris-chloromethyl-phosphine oxides, [(RO) (R′) (O)PCH_2]3P?O (R = C₄H₉, R′? C₆H₅) and tris-(oxophosphoranyl-phosphine oxides with phosphites, phosphonites and phosphinites, respectively, at 170–180°C for several hours. Compounds II possess an extraordinarily high absorption capacity. Thus a warm. 2% solution of II (R = C₂H₅) in benzene solidifies completely on cooling so that no benzene can be poured off. Tris-dihydroxyphosphonyl-methyl)-phosphine oxide, [(HO)₂(O)PCH_2]3P?O, obtained by hydrolysis of II (R ? C₂H₅) with refluxing conc. HCl or by thermal decomposition of II (R ? iso-C₃H₇) at 190°, titrates in aqueous solution as a hexabasic acid with breaks at pH = 4,4 (three equivalents) and pH = 10,7 (three equivalents). It forms crystalline salts with amines, alkali and alkaline earth metals, and is an excellent chelating agent. The ¹H- and ^31?P-NMR. spectra of all the compounds prepared are discussed.     

[Cu(phen)2(μ‐IDA)Cu(phen)](ClO4)2·CH3OH: tridentate and monodentate binding to two copper(II) species by a bridging ligand

The stoichiometric reaction of 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen), imino­di­acetic acid (IDA‐H₂) and Cu(ClO₄)₂ in a H₂O–CH₃OH (2:1) solution yields μ‐imino­diacetato‐2:1κ⁴O,N,O′:O′′‐tris(1,10‐phenanthroline)‐1κ⁴N,N′;2κ²N,N′‐dicopper(II) diperchlorate methanol solvate, [Cu₂(C₄H₅NO₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃](ClO₄)₂·CH₃OH. The IDA ligand bridges the two Cu^II ions via a carboxyl­ate group and uses one further N and an O atom of the second carboxylate group to complete a fac‐tridentate coordination at one Cu centre. A phen ligand completes a distorted square‐pyramidal coordination at this metal atom, although there is weak coordination by a perchlorate O atom at a sixth position. The second Cu centre has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination to two phen moieties and a carboxyl­ate O atom.     

Bis[(μ‐cyclopentylamino‐N:N)dimethyl­aluminium(III)]

Reaction of AlMe₃ with NH₂(C₅H₉) caused the evolution of methane and produced the dimeric species bis(μ‐cyclo­pentyl­amino‐N:N)bis[dimethylaluminium(III)], [Al(CH₃)₂‐(C₅H₁₀N)]₂, which was found to adopt a cis configuration of cyclopentyl groups about a bent AlNAlN ring (which has twofold crystallographic symmetry) instead of the more common trans arrangement.     

Diaquabis(propane-1,2-diamine-N,N′)nickel(II) bis(p-toluenesulfonate)

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C₃H₁₀N₂)₂(H₂O)₂](C₇H₇O₃S)₂ or [Ni(H₂O)₂{NH₂CH₂CH­(NH₂)CH₃}₂](CH₃C₆H₄SO₃)₂, exhibits a layered structure in which the complex cations and the p-toluene­sulfonate anions form alternating layers. The central Ni^II atom of the cation resides on a crystallographic inversion centre and has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination composed of the water ligands bonding through oxy­gen in a trans arrangement and the N,N′-bidentate propane­di­amine ligands. The p-toluene­sulfonate anions are arranged with the sulfonate groups turned alternately towards opposite sides of the layers. The structure of the layers is stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds between the sulfonate O atoms, water mol­ecules and the propane­di­amine N atoms.     

Carbyne-fluoro complexes of rhenium. Single-pot synthesis of trans-[ReF(CCH2R)-(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2][BF4]

Treatment of a THF solution of trans-[ReCl(N₂)(dppe)₂] (dppe = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) with a 1-alkyne HCCR (R =^tBu, CO₂Me, CO₂Et, or C₆H₄Me-4), in the presence of Tl[BF₄]/[NH₄][BF₄], under sunlight, affords the corresponding carbyne-fluoro complexes trans-[ReF(CCH₂R)(dppe)₂][BF₄] in an unprecedented single-pot synthesis. Further reaction with [BU₄N]OH leads to the vinylidenefluoro compounds trans-[ReF(=C=CHR)(dppe)₂] (R = CO₂Me, CO₂Et, or C₆H₄Me-4).     

Nonisothermal membrane phenomena across perfluorosulfonic acid-type membranes,Flemion S: part I. Thermoosmosis and transported entropy of water

Solvent transports across the perfluorosulfonic acid-type membrane Flemion S were measured for aqueous electrolyte solutions under a temperature difference and under an osmotic pressure difference. H⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, NH ₄ ⁺ , CH₃NH ₃ ⁺ , (CH₃)₂NH ₂ ⁺ , (CH₃)₃NH⁺, (CH₃)₄N⁺, (C₂H₅)₄N⁺, (n-C₃H₇)₄N⁺ and (n-C₄H₉)₄N⁺ were used as counterions. Water flux across the membrane in HCl solution is higher than that in the other electrolyte solutions because hydrogen ions can exchange with the hydrogen of the neighbor water molecules and contribute to the water transport across the membrane as a proton jump in conductivity. The direction of thermoosmosis across the membrane in HCl, NaCl, (CH₃)₄NCl and (C₂H₅)₄NCl solutions was from the cold side to the hot side and that in LiCl, KCl, NH₄Cl, CH₃NH₃Cl, (CH₃)₂NH₂Cl and (n-C₄H₉)₄NBr solutions was from the hot side to the cold side, although thermoosmosis across anion-exchange membranes always occurs toward the hot side.     

Low energy,low temperature mass spectra: I—selected derivatives of n-octane

The low voltage, low temperature mass spectra of a series of octane derivatives n-C₈H₁₇X with X=CH₃, OH, OCH₃, NH₂, NHCH₃, N(CH₃)₂, CO₂H, CO₂CH₃, CO₂C₂H₅, CHO and COCH₃ are reported and discussed, using arguments involving thermochemistry where appropriate. The structures of these compounds can be uniquely assigned on the basis of such mass spectra.     

Structural Investigation of New Lithium Amidinates and Guanidinates

A series of potentially useful lithium amidinates and guanidinates were prepared and fully characterized. Treatment of N,N′‐diisopropylcarbodiimide with phenyllithium in diethyl ether afforded the lithium amidinate [PhC(NiPr)₂Li(OEt₂)]₂ ( 1 ). Similar treatment of N,N′‐diorganocarbodiimides R′–N=C=N–R′ [R′ = iPr, cyclohexyl (Cy)] with secondary lithium amides LiNR₂ [R₂ = Et₂, iPr₂, (CH₂)₄] followed by crystallization from THF or 1,4‐dioxane gave the lithium guanidinates [R₂NC(NR′)₂Li(S)]₂ [ 2 : R = Et, R′ = iPr, S = THF; 3 : R₂ = (CH₂)₄, R′ = iPr, S = THF; 4 : R = R′ = iPr, S = ½ 1,4‐dioxane; 5 : R₂ = (CH₂)₄, R′ = Cy, S = 1,4‐dioxane] as crystalline solids. Reaction of N‐lithioaziridine with the corresponding carbodiimides afforded solvent‐deficient [{C₂H₄NC(NiPr₂)₂}₂Li₂(THF)]₂ ( 6 ), and [C₂H₄NC(NEt)(NtBu)Li(THF)]₂ ( 7 ). Crystal structure determination revealed the presence of common ladder‐type dimeric structures for 1 – 5 . Compound 6 exists as a dimer of two ladder‐type dimers in the crystal, and 7 exhibits an unusual dimeric structure comprising an eight‐membered C₂N₄Li₂ ring.
