Chlorodiphenyltin(IV) and triphenyltin(IV) complexes of N-alkylated 2-amino-1-cyclopentene-1-carbodithioic acids: synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and X-ray studies

Four new complexes, [Ph₃Sn(isopropylACDA)] (1), [Ph₂SnCl(isopropylACDA)] (2), [Ph₃Sn(secbutylACDA)] (3), and [Ph₂SnCl(secbutylACDA)] (4), have been prepared from reaction between N-alkylated 2-amino-1-cyclopentene-1-carbodithioic acids (ACDA) with Ph₂SnCl₂ and Ph₃SnCl in 1:1 ratio. All complexes are characterized by FTIR, multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) and mass spectrometry. In all complexes, the S–H proton has been removed and coordination takes place through the carbodithioate moiety. The ¹¹⁹Sn NMR data are consistent with five coordination of tin atom in solution. Complexes 2, 3, and 4 have also been confirmed by single X-ray crystallography. All three crystals are triclinic with space group P − 1. In complexes 2 and 4, the geometry around tin atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal while in 3 the geometry is in between distorted tetrahedral and trigonal bipyramid. In all three structures, ligands are asymmetrically coordinated to tin atom. In addition, crystal structures are further stabilized by N–H···S hydrogen bonding.     

Synthesis and characterization of diorganotin(IV) derivatives from rhodanine (HRd): crystal structures of [(PhCH2)2Sn(Rd)(μ-OH)]2 and [n-Bu2Sn(Rd)(μ-OH)]2

The diorganotin(IV) complexes, [R₂Sn(Rd)(μ-OH)]₂ (R?=?Me (1), PhCH₂ (2), n-Bu (3), Ph (4); HRd?=?rhodanine), have been synthesized and characterized by IR and multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR spectroscopy. The structures of complexes 2 and 3 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both crystal structures of 2 and 3 show the presence of asymmetrically bridging hydroxy groups leading to an Sn₂O₂ unit. Each atom in complex 1 is also coordinated by an N atom of ligand and two C atoms of the alkyl groups, so the Sn environment is based on a trigonal bipyramid. While in complex 2, a weak intermolecular Sn–O interaction has also been found between the two adjacent molecules, so the geometry of the Sn atom can be best described as six-coordinate octahedral. The salient feature of the supramolecular structure of complex 3 is that of a 1D polymer, in which the discrete molecules are connected through weak intermolecular Sn?···?O interactions.

Reactivity of a Cyclopentadienyl Containing Heterobimetallic Alkoxide

The synthesis of the new heteroleptic heterotrimetallic cluster, [(C₅H₅)Sn(μ-OBu^t)₂Ge(OBu^t)Mo(CO)₅] (1) has been achieved by a thermally induced CO substitution of the transition metal derivative, Mo(CO)₆, by the basic germanium atom of the cyclopentadienyl heterobimetallic alkoxide, [(C₅H₅)Sn(μ-OBu^t)₂Ge(OBu^t)]. The microanalysis, molecular weight (monomer in benzene), IR and multinuclear NMR data and X-ray diffraction study is consistent with the formulation of 1. The Sn atom has a trigonal pyramidal coordination environment formed by a aysmmterically π-bonded terminal C₅H₅ ring and two symmetrically bridged tert-butoxy groups. The four-coordinate Ge atom lies at the centre of a distorted tetrahedron and is terminally attached to a tert-butoxy group and a Mo(CO)₅5^? fragment.     

Synthesis and characterization of a novel η 2-iminoacyl monocyclopentadienyl titanium(IV) complex

An unusual complex, [CpTi(η²-(C,N)-2-ArNH–C₆H₄C=NAr)Cl₂] (Ar?=?2,6- ⁱ Pr₂C₆H₃) (1) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectra, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The ¹³C NMR resonance of the imine carbon atom of 1 at δ?221?ppm is consistent with the η²-(C,N) binding. This was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction study of 1. In the complex, Ti atom is five-coordinate with a η²-bound iminoacyl ligand and one Cp ligand occupying the axial position in a distorted square pyramid.     

The Effect of Swstituents at the Carbon and Phosphorus on the Tautomeric Equilibrium in the Phosphoryl-Hydroxyylide Systems

Abstract

It has been established that in the phosphoryl-hydroxyylide systems (I-VIII) the increasing acidity of the carbon atom depending on substituent Y (which is characterized by [sgrave]^? _CH value) shifts the equilibrium to the hydroxyylide form (B).     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Polymeric Heteronuclear Complex of Cadmium(II) and Silver(I)

A polymeric complex of Cd(II) and Ag(I) bridged by thiocyanate and ethylenediamine, [Cd(en)_1.5Ag(SCN)₃], has been prepared and its structure determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in space group P2₁/n with a =7.456(1), b =9.915(2), c =19.822(2)Å, β =98.94(1)°. The Cd(II) atom is octahedrally coordinated by three SCN^- anions and two en molecules, while the Ag(I) atom is tetrahedraly coordinated by four SCN^- anions. Both SCN^- anions and en molecules act as bridging ligands and link Ag(I) and Cd(II) atoms to form a three-dimensional polymeric structure. The distance between Ag(I) and the atom S of a 1,1,3-µ3-SCN^- anion is much longer than that between Ag(I) and the atom S of a 1,3-µ-SCN^- anion. The short Ag-Ag distance of 3.133 Å and small Ag-S-Ag angle of 70.92° strongly suggests the existence of an Ag-Ag bonding interaction in the complex.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of S 2 O 2 Macrocycle L, and its Silver(I) and Platinum(II) Complexes (Where L = 5,8-dioxa-2,11-dithia-[12]-o-cyclophane)

The S₂O₂-donor macrocycle, L(5,8-dioxa-2,11-dithia-[12]-o-cyclophane or 3,4-benzo-1,6-dithia-9,12-dioxocyclo-tetradecane-3-ene) was synthesized by ring closure reaction of 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol with ,'-dibromo-o-xyleneunder high dilution and crystallized from methanol. The X-ray structure of L has a C₂ axis and is shown to have two S atoms oriented exodentate and two O atoms positionedendodentate to the ring cavity. Reaction of AgNO₃ with L affords monomeric [Ag(L)(NO₃)], (1)in which the Ag atom is in a distorted trigonal plane coordinated by two S atoms in a ring and to one O atom from the NO₃ ^- ion. The behavior of complex 1 in solution was also characterized by NMR titration. Reaction between K₂PtCl₄ and L affords [Pt(L)Cl₂], (2) in which the Pt atom has a distorted square-planar environment, coordinated to two S atoms of Land to two Cl^- ions in a cis arrangement.     

The Synthesis,Crystal, Molecular and Electronic Structure of [ReCl2(NO)(py)3]

In line with our investigations of rhenium nitrosyl complexes, we have studied the reaction of [ReCl₃(NO)(OPPh₃)(PPh₃)] with pyridine. The [ReCl₂(NO)(py)₃] complex obtained in this reaction has been characterised by IR, electronic spectra and magnetochemical measurements; ligand field parameters and the electronic structure have been determined. The crystal and molecular structure of [ReCl₂(NO)(py)₃] has been solved by the heavy atom method. Crystals of [ReCl₂(NO)(py)₃] contain distorted octahedral molecules with the pyridine ligands in the mer-arrangement. The nitrosyl group is coordinated linearly to the rhenium atom as NO⁺.     

Syntheses,crystal structures and luminescence of 2,6- bis - (5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine and its d10 metal complexes

A new bis-pyrazole derivative, 2,6-bis-(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl) pyridine (H₂BPPP), and two d¹⁰ metal complexes [Zn(H₂BPPP)Cl₂](DMF)₂ (1), [Cd(H₂BPPP)Cl₂](DMF)₂ (2) have been synthesized and characterized. There is a tautomeric equilibrium of the bis-pyrazole compound in solution and the H atom of pyrazolyl NH can transfer to the adjacent N atoms. X-ray structure analyses reveal the H atom is on the 2-position of pyrazolyl ring in donor solvents, while the H atom is on the 1-position of pyrazolyl ring in metal complexes. The luminescence of the ligand and complexes have been investigated.     

Alpha-recoil atoms of plutonium in the environment

The -recoil effect of²³⁹Pu has been observed in environmental samples and theN ₅ ^P /N₅ ratio in these samples has been calculated. This ratio in atmospheric samples is in the range between 10^–5 and 10^–4 (atom/atom). For other contemporary terrestrial samples it is in the range between 10^–7 and 10^–6 (atom/atom), while that of uranium mineral is about 10^–10 (atom/atom). The results further explain the radioactive fallout contamination of our environment by uranium and plutonium isotopes.     

Synthesis and DFT calculations of new ruthenium(II) nitrosyl complexes using cis-fac-dichlorotetrakis(dimethylsulfoxide)ruthenium(II) precursor and different oximes as sources of nitrosyl ligand

Abstract

Three NO⁺-ruthenium(II) complexes were prepared by using cis-[RuCl₂(DMSO)₄] as precursor, P, and the compounds benzohydroxamic acid (BHA), 1′, anti-diphenylglyoxime (H₂dpg), 2′, and dimethylglyoxime (H₂dmg), 3′, as sources of NO moiety. The three complexes [RuCl₂(DMSO)₃(NO)]⁺(BA)^?, 1, [RuCl₂(DMSO)₃(NO)]⁺(Hdpg)^?, 2, and [RuCl₂(DMSO)₃(NO)]⁺(Hdmg)^?, 3, were characterized by (FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis) spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and microanalysis. From FT-IR spectral data, two modes of coordination of DMSO to Ru atom through both S and O atoms were detected for 1 and 2. For 3, only S coordination was reported. Computational studies on the [RuCl₂(DMSO)₃(NO)]⁺ cationic parts, 1″, 2″ and 3″, of the investigated complexes 1, 2 and 3 were carried out by DFT. The molecular geometry and mode of attachment of Ru(II) with DMSO were performed with the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory and basis set. Theoretical to the experimental agreement was achieved for analysis of IR data of the investigated complexes. Additional information about binding between the ruthenium atom and the DMSO ligand has been obtained by NBO analysis.     

Functional model of oxomolybdoenzymes: Synthesis and characterization of a molybdenum complex with sulphur and pterin ligands exhibiting saturation kinetics with pyridine N-oxide

Redox reaction between 6-acetonylisoxanthopterin (H₂pte) and [Mo^VIO₂ (ssp)] [ssp = anion of 2-(salicylideneamino) benzenethiol] in CH₃OH-C₂H₅OH medium produces a new mixed ligand compound [Mo^IV (ssp) (Hpte) (OCH₃)] (1). It has been characterized by elemental analysis, ESMS data, UV-Vis, IR,¹HNMR (1D and 2D) spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Kinetics of formation of this compound as well as that of its reaction with pyridine N-oxide have been followed spectrophotometrically. Both the reactions follow substrate saturation kinetics and involve metal-centred oxygen atom transfer process. Large negative values of entropy of activation indicate the operation of associative mechanism.     

Synthesis, Structure, and Nonrigidity of Os7(CO)20(CNBu t )

The cluster Os₇(CO)₂₀(CNBu ^t ) (1) has been prepared in 25% yield by the reaction of Os₆(CO)₁₈ with Me₃NO and Os(CO)₄(CNBu ^t ) at –78°C. The crystal structure of 1 reveals the expected capped octahedral arrangement of metal atoms with the noncarbonyl ligand attached to the capping Os atom. The OsOs lengths in the two independent molecules in the unit cell are in the range 2.823(1)–2.922(1) Å, with the longer bonds associated with the Os₃ triangle farthest from the capping Os atom. The ¹³C NMR spectrum of 1 in solution at room temperature has a 3:3:1 pattern that is consistent with rotation of the individual Os(CO)₂(L) (L=CO or CNBu ^t ) groups in the cluster. This in turn supports the idea that the capping Os(CO)₂(CNBu ^t ) unit binds to the central Os₆ via a centrally directed MO plus two tangential molecular orbitals.     

Communication: Double Bond Migration of a 1,5-Anhydro-3-C-p-Tolylsulfonyl-D-Hex-2-Enitol Derivative and the Corresponding 5a-Carba-Dl-Sulfonyl Sugar

Although the rate of proton abstraction (kinetic acidity) frequently plays an essential role in determination of reaction pathways and is of theoretical interest,¹ it is still controversial whether an oxygen atom activates or deactivates the abstraction of an α-hydrogen atom of an ether. For example, it is well known that oxidative elimination of a seleno group gives an allyl ether as the major product, indicating the oxygen atom deactivates the kinetic acidity.² Abstraction of the equatorial hydrogen atom at C-2 of 6-methyl-1,3-oxathiane-3,3-dioxide 1 is slower than that at C-4.³ On the other hand, the bridgehead hydrogen atom (H_b) adjacent to the oxygen atom of piperazinedione (2) is abstracted more readily than that of the alternative one (H_a).⁴     

Vanadium(IV)-substituted tungstoantimonate [Sb2W20(VO)2(H2O)4O70]10− : synthesis,crystal structure and electrochemistry

A vanadium(IV)-substituted tungstoantimonate, K₈Na₂[Sb₂W₂₀(VO)₂(H₂O)₄O₇₀]·18.5H₂O (1), has been synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by IR, UV–Vis, elemental analysis, TG and X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. The structure of 1 was composed of two V(IV) ions linked to a [Sb₂W₂₀O₇₀]^14? fragment via V–O(W) bonds; the anions are connected by K⁺ to construct a two-dimensional network complex. The electrochemical behavior of 1 was investigated in buffer solution (pH 2.5) by cyclic voltammetry. In the potential range between ?0.7 and 0.9 V, the compound exhibits successive redox processes of the addenda atoms (W) in a negative potential range, and also redox originating from the substituted atom (V) at a more positive potential. Compound 1 has good electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of iodate.     

Ab initio study of mechanism of forming bis-heterocyclic compound with Si and Ge between dimethylsilylene germylidene (Me2Si=Ge:) and ethene

The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction between singlet dimethylsilylene germylidene (Me₂Si=Ge:) and ethene has been investigated with the CCSD(T)//MP2/6-31G* method. From the potential energy profile, it could be predicted that the reaction has one dominant reaction pathway. The reaction rules presented is that the two reactants firstly form a Si-heterocyclic four-membered ring germylene through the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction. Due to the sp ³ hybridization of the Ge: atom in Si-heterocyclic four-membered ring germylene, the Si-heterocyclic four-membered ring germylene further combined with ethene to form a bis-heterocyclic product with Si and Ge (P2).     

Synthesis,spectra, crystal structure and thermal properties of a polymeric 1-D cobalt(II) cyanato complex with hexamethylenetetramine

A new cobalt(II) cyanato complex, [Co(NCO)₂(H₂O)₂(hmt)] (I) where hmt is hexamethylenetetramine, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The electronic spectra of the solid compound suggest octahedral cobalt and IR spectra revealed monodentate N-cyanato groups and aqua ligands, while hmt is a bridging N, N′-bidentate leading to a 1-D infinite polymeric chain.

Crystal data for I : Fw 319.20, a = 9.234(2), b = 11.252(2), c = 12.576(3) Å, β = 107.75(3)°, V = 1244.5(4) ų, Z = 4, T = 100 K. Crystal system : monoclinic, space group : C2/c. Hydrogen bonds of the type O–H ··· O and O–H ··· N between aqua molecules and O atom of the terminal N-cyanato groups or an N atom of hmt ligands consolidate and extend the structure to a 3-D network. The thermal properties of I are reported.     

Syntheses and characterization of three mercury(II) complexes, [Hg(phen)2(SCN)2], [Hg(2,2′-bipy)2(SCN)2] and [Hg(phen)2(NO3)2], thermal and fluorescence studies

Mercury(II) complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), [Hg(phen)₂(SCN)₂] (1), [Hg(2,2′-bipy)₂(SCN)₂] (2) and [Hg(phen)₂(NO₃)₂] (3) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The thermal stability of 1–3 were studied by thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analyses (DTA). The structure of 1 has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The complex is a monomer and the Hg atom has an unsymmetrical six-coordinate geometry, formed by four nitrogen atoms of the two phen ligands and two sulfur atoms of the two thiocyanate anions. Solid-state luminescent spectra of phen, 2,2′-bipy and 1–3 indicate emission with the maximum intensity at ca 467 nm upon excitation at 295 nm.     

Synthesis and vibrational spectra of copper(II) and erbium(III) complexes with 2-[2′-(oxymethyldiphenylphosphinyl)phenyldiazenyl]-4- tert -butylphenol (HL) [CuL2] · 2H2O and Er(NO3)2 · 2 HL · 2H2O. Crystal structure of [CuL2] · 2H2O

The syntheses of the complex copper salt CuL₂ · 2H₂O (I) and the erbium nitrate complex Er(NO₃)₃ · 2HL · 2H₂O (II) (HL is 2-[2′-(oxymethyldiphenylphosphinyl)phenyldiazenyl]-4-tert-butylphenol) have been described. Basic vibrational frequencies in the IR spectra of I and II have been interpreted. The crystal structure of I has been determined by X-ray crystallography: the crystals are monoclinic, a = 15.157(3) ?, b = 17.080(2) ?, c = 22.451(9) ?, β = 106.09(3)°, V = 5584(3) ?³, Z = 4, space group C2/c, R = 0.0546 (for 1152 reflections with I > 2σ(I)). The coordination polyhedron of the copper atom (symmetry C ₂) can be described as a symmetrically elongated square bipyramid (4+2). The basic square of the Cu polyhedron is formed by the oxygen atom of the substituted phenol and one of the nitrogen atoms of the azo group of each of the two deprotonated ligands L⁻ (Cu-N, 1.969(6) ?; Cu-O, 1.899(5) ?). The angles between the opposite O and N atoms are 157.6°, and the other equatorial angles are in the range 90.6°–95.9°. The axial positions are occupied by the anisole O(2) and O(2A) atoms (Cu-O, 2.737(6) ?, the O(2)Cu(1)O(2A) angle, 132.3°). In the crystal of I, complex molecules and water molecules of crystallization are combined by a system of hydrogen bonds. IR spectra show that, in complex II, as distinct from compound I, the HL ligand is coordinated to the erbium atom through the phosphoryl oxygen atom. Original Russian Text ? A.Yu. Tsivadze, L.Kh.
