A theoretical study of cation--π interactions: Li+, Na+, K+, Be2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ complexation with mono- and bicyclic ring-fused benzene derivatives

DFT (B3LYP functional) and MP2 methods using 6-311+G(2d,2p) basis set have been employed to examine the effect of ring fusion to benzene on the cation--π interactions involving alkali metal ions (Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺) and alkaline earth metal ions (Be²⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺). Our present study indicates that modification of benzene (π-electron source) by fusion of monocyclic or bicyclic (or mixture of these two kinds of rings) strengthens the binding affinity of both alkali and alkaline earth metal cations. The strength of interaction decreases in the following order: Be²⁺ > Mg²⁺ > Ca²⁺ > Li⁺ > Na⁺ > K⁺ for any considered aromatic ligand. The interaction energies for the complexes formed by divalent cations are 4–6 times larger than those for the complexes involving monovalent cations. The structural changes in the ring wherein metal ion binds are examined. The distance between ring centroid and the metal ion is calculated for all of the complexes. Strained bicyclo[2.1.1]hexene ring fusion has substantially larger effect on the strength of cation--π interactions than the monocyclic ring fusion for all of the cations due to the π-electron localization at the central benzene ring.     

Magnetic properties of fullerene salts containing d- and f-metal cations (Co2+, Ni2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Eu2+, Cd2+). Specific features of the interaction between C60·? and the metal cations

The interaction between the radical anions C₆₀ ^·− and divalent d- and f-metal (Co, Fe, Ni, Mn, Eu, Cd) cations in DMF and acetonitrile-benzonitrile (AN-BN) mixture was studied. Black solid polycrystalline salts (C₆₀ ^·−)₂{(M²⁺)(DMF) _x } (x = 2.4–4, 1–6) containing the radical anions C₆₀ ^·− and metal(ii) cations solvated by DMF were prepared for the first time and their optical and magnetic properties were studied. The salts containing Co²⁺, Fe²⁺, and Ni²⁺ are characterized by antiferromagnetic interactions between the radical anions C₆₀ ^·−, which result in unusually large broadening of the EPR signal of C₆₀ ^·− upon lowering the temperature (from 5.55–12.6 mT at room temperature to 35–40 mT at 6 K for Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺). The salts containing Mn²⁺ and Eu²⁺ form diamagnetic dimers (C₆₀ ⁻)₂, which causes a jumpwise decrease in the magnetic moment of the complexes and disappearance of the EPR signal of C₆₀ ^·− in the temperature range 210–130 K. A feature of salt 6 is magnetic isolation of the radical anions C₆₀ ^·− due to the presence of diamagnetic cation Cd²⁺. The salts prepared are unstable in air and decompose in o-dichlorobenzene or AN. Reactions of C₆₀ ^·− with metal(ii) cations in AN-BN mixture result in decomposition products of the salts that contain neutral fullerene dimers and metals solvated by BN.

Heterometallic complexes of Co2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ with the [RuNO(NO2)4OH]2? anion and pyridine: Synthesis, crystal structure, and thermolysis

Three new heteronuclear complexes [Ru(NO)(NO₂)₄(OH)M(Py)₃] (M = Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺) were synthesized and structurally characterized. In all compounds, the [Ru(NO)(NO²)⁴(OH)] fragment is coordinated to the M atom by a bridging OH and two bridging NO₂ groups. The coordination environment of the metal also includes three pyridine nitrogen atoms. Thermal decomposition of cobalt and nickel complexes in an inert atmosphere yields bimetallic solid solutions.

Effect of non-aqueous solvents on stoichiometry and selectivity of complexes formed between 4′-nitrobenzo-15-crown-5 with Fe3+, Y3+, Cd2+, Sn4+, Ce3+ and Au3+ metal cations

The complexation processes between Fe³⁺, Y³⁺, Cd²⁺, Sn⁴⁺, Ce³⁺ and Au³⁺ metal cations with macrocyclic ligand, 4′-nitrobenzo-15-crown-5 (4′NB15C5), were studied in acetonitrile (AN), methanol (MeOH) and nitromethane (NM) solvents at different temperatures using conductometric method. The conductance data show that the stoichiometry of the complexes formed between this macrocyclic ligand and Cd²⁺, Au³⁺ cations is 1: 1 (ML), but in the case of Fe³⁺, Y³⁺ and Ce³⁺ metal cations, 2: 1 (M₂: L) and 2: 2 [M₂: L₂] complexes are formed in nitromethane solutions. The results show, that the selectivity of 4’NB15C5 for the studied metal cations in methanol solutions at 15°C is: Sn⁴⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Y³⁺ > Fe³⁺ ∼ Ce³⁺ > Au³⁺, but in the case of acetonitrile, the stability order was found to be: Y³⁺ > Au³⁺ > Fe³⁺ > Cd²⁺. The values of stability constants of the 1: 1 [M: L] complexes were determined from conductometric data using a GENPLOT computer program. The values of thermodynamic parameter (ΔH _c ^o and ΔH _c ^o) for formation of the complexes were obtained from temperature dependence of the stability constants, using the van’t Hoff plots. The results show that the values of standard enthalpy (ΔH _c ^o) and standard entropy (ΔH _c ^o) change with the nature of the non aqueous solvents.     

Titration of AsO43? ions with 0.1 M magnesium sulphate solution in the presence of Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, Cu2+ ions and some other foreign substances

Summary For the convenient and sufficiently accurate determination of AsO₄ ^3– ions in technical products containing different filling, suspending and colouring materials, as well as impurities—e.g. for the assay of arsenate containing plant protecting materials—the following procedure is recommended.About 5 g of the sample is dissolved, resp. extracted with 4 N hydrochloric acid, and aliquots of the clear filtrate are titrated after elimination of the interfering metal ions by combining them with complexing agents (potassium cyanide and disodium ethylenediamin tetraacetic acid) in a properly buffered medium. The titration with 0.1 M MgSO₄ solution is conducted in the presence of eriochrome black T solution as indicator, first time for eliminating the excess of EDTA added, and afterwards to determine the AsO₄ ^3– ions, after adding about 40% of ethanol.The procedure may be useful chiefly for serial routine analyses.The authors are indebted to engineer L. Fokássy, department leader at the State Institute for Agricultural Quality Control, as well as to engineeress P. Fodor and Mr. Gy. Josepovits, scientific collaborators of the Research Institute for Plant Protection, for kindly supplying some of the samples for the experiments.     

Photodissociation Spectra of OCS+ via B2∑+←X2∏ Transitions

In the wavelength range of 231-275 nm, we have studied the mass-resolved dissociation spectra of OCS⁺ via B²∑⁺←X²∏_3/2(000) and B²∑⁺←X²∏_1/2(000, 001) transitions by preparing OCS⁺ ions in the well-defined spin-orbit states. The spectroscopic constants ofυ1(CS stretch)=828.9 (810.4) cm^-1, υ2(bend)=491.3 cm^-1 and υ3(CO stretch)=1887.2 cm^-1 for OCS⁺(B²∑⁺) are deduced. The observed dependence of the υ2(bend) mode excitation of B²∑⁺ on the spin-orbit splitting of X²∏(Ω=1/2, 3/2) in the B²∑⁺←X²∏ transition can be attributed to the K coupling between the (000)²∏_1/2 and (010)²∑⁺_1/2 vibronic levels of X²∏ state, which makes the B²∑⁺(010)←X²∏_1/2(000) transition possible.

以[M(DETA)2)]n+(M=Cu2+, Ni2+, Co3+)为客体的MnPS3夹层化合物的合成、结构表征与磁性研究

将过渡金属配合物阳离子([M(DETA)₂]ⁿ⁺(M=Cu²⁺,Ni²⁺,Co³⁺;DETA=Diethylenetriamine,二乙烯三胺)作为客体插入层状MnPS₃层间得到了相应的3个夹层化合物。通过X-射线粉末衍射、元素分析和红外光谱对夹层化合物的结构进行了表征。结果表明,与主体MnPS₃ 0.65 nm的层间距相比较,夹层化合物(Mn_0.88PS₃[Cu(DETA)₂]_0.12)的层间距扩大了0.32 nm,由此推测客体[Cu(DETA)₂]²⁺在层间以平面四方的配位形式存在,而另2个夹层化合物(Mn_0.79PS₃[Ni(DETA)₂]_0.21和Mn_0.74PS₃[Co(DETA)₂]_0.17)的层间距扩大了0.48 nm,说明客体[(M(DETA)₂]ⁿ⁺,M=Co³⁺,Ni²⁺) 在主体层间以八面体配位形式存在。磁性测试结果表明过渡金属离子[(M(DETA)₂]ⁿ⁺(M=Cu²⁺,Co³⁺)的插入能引起主体MnPS₃的磁性在35~40 K发生由顺磁向亚铁磁性的转变并表现自发磁化,而客体[Ni(DETA)₂]²⁺却使夹层化合物的反铁磁相互作用增强,抑制了自发磁化的发生。     

Structure and stability of oligomeric anions [M n X3 n + 1]? (M = Al, Ga, In; X = F, Cl, Br, I; n = 2–4): A quantum-chemical study

The structural and thermodynamic properties of oligomeric anions [M _n X_{3n+ 1}]⁻ (M = Al, Ga, In; X = F, Cl, Br, I; n = 2, 3, 4) have been obtained by the density functional theory B3LYP method with the LAN2DZ(d) and LAN2DZ(d)+ basis sets. A wide diversity of structural isomers was found for trimeric fluoride anions M₃F₁₀⁻. Among the trimers, except In₃F₁₀⁻, the most stable is a linear isomer composed of two MX₃ molecules coordinated to the MX₄⁻ anion. The formation of tetrameric anions M₄X₁₃⁻ was demonstrated to be thermodynamically allowed at low temperatures at MX₃: X⁻ > 4: 1. The existence of higher oligomers is less probable. The affinity of oligomer halides (MX₃) _n for halide ions increases with an increase in n. The propensity to form oligomeric anions decreases in the series F > Cl ≥ Br > I. The fluoride systems show a tendency to form structures with CN = 5 and 6, these structures for In being the most stable. Original Russian Text ? A.Yu.

KSrBP2O8:RE(RE=Eu2+,Tb3+,Eu3+)荧光粉的制备与发光性能研究

采用高温固相反应法制备了KSrBP2O8:RE(RE=Eu2+,Tb3+,Eu3+)系列荧光粉。利用X射线衍射仪对样品的物相结构进行了分析,结果表明:稀土离子的掺入没有改变荧光粉的主晶相。利用荧光光谱仪对样品的发光性能进行了测试,发现在近紫外光激发下掺杂Eu2+离子的样品具有宽带发射峰,最强发射位于450 nm左右,对应于Eu2+离子的4f65d1→4f7辐射跃迁。随着Eu2+掺杂量的增加,发射光从蓝光逐渐转变到蓝白光。另外,KSrBP2O8:Tb3+和KSrBP2O8:Eu3+能够在近紫外光激发下分别发射出绿光和红光,其最佳掺杂浓度分别为0.04%和0.08%(摩尔分数)。     

近紫外激发Sm3+与Sr2+,Ba2+,Bi3+共掺杂的La1/3NbO3的发光性质

通过高温固相反应合成了La1/3NbO3∶Sm3+荧光粉.样品的荧光光谱表明,La1/3NbO3∶Sm3+荧光粉最强的激发带在406 nm,对应于Sm3+的6H5/2→4K11/2跃迁,属于近紫外区(365～410 nm).当激发波长为406nm时,样品的最强发射峰位于596 nm,是由Sm3+的4G5/2→6H7/2跃迁而产生的.因此,La1/3NbO3∶Sm3+可以作为基于近紫外激发的白光发光二极管(LED)的红光材料.而且,La位共掺杂Sr2+,Ba2+和Bi3+使样品的荧光强度大大增加,在最佳掺杂浓度时的量子产率分别为5.4%,7.5%和5.3%.     

Thermodynamic Properties of Quaternary Aqueous Solutions of Chlorides Charge-type 1-1*1-1*2-1: NH4Cl + NaCl + YCl2 + H2O with Y ≡ Mg2+, Ca2+, and Ba2+

Thermodynamic properties of quaternary aqueous solutions of mixed chlorides of 1-1*1-1*2-1 charge type with the cations (Na⁺, NH₄ ⁺; Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺) were determined using the hygrometric method. The quaternary systems NH₄Cl + NaCl + MgCl₂ + H₂O, NH₄Cl + NaCl + CaCl₂+ H₂O, and NH₄Cl + NaCl + BaCl₂ + H₂O have been studied at 25 °C. The water activities were measured at total molalities from 0.44 mol⋅kg⁻¹ to saturation for different ionic-strength fractions y of NH₄Cl, y=(0.20,0.50,0.80), and different ionic strength ratios z for other solutes, z=(0.20,0.50 and 0.80) for each value of y. The obtained data allows the calculation of osmotic coefficients.     

Bismuth compounds [Ph3BuP]+I?, [Ph3BuP] 2+ [Bi2I8 · 2Me2C=O]2?, and [Ph3BuP] 2+ [Bi2I8 · 2Me2S=O]2?: Syntheses and crystal structures

The complexes [Ph₃BuP]₂⁺[Bi₂I₈ · 2Me₂C=O]²⁻ (II) and [Ph₃BuP]₂⁺[Bi₂I₈ · 2Me₂S=O]²⁻ (III) are synthesized by the reactions of triphenyl(n-butyl)phosphonium iodide (I) with bismuth iodide in acetone and dimethyl sulfoxide. In the cations of complexes I–III, the P atoms have a distorted tetrahedral coordination (CPC angles 106.3(2)°–112.0(3)°). The butyl group in cation I is disordered over two positions. In the binuclear centrosymmetric anions of structures II and III, the octahedrally coordinated bismuth atoms are linked in pairs by two bridging (br) iodine atoms (Bi-I_br 3.1508(7) and 3.2824(8) ? in compound II, 3.1961(3) and 3.3108(3) ? in complex III), which are coplanar to four terminal (t) iodine atoms (Bi-I_t 2.9260(7) and 2.9953(6) ? in complex II, 2.9206(3) and 2.9786(3) ? in complex III). The two remaining positions at the bismuth atom are occupied by the iodine atom (Bi-I_t 2.8531(7) ? in complex II, 2.8984(3) ? in complex III) and O atom of the organic molecule (Bi-O 2.747(6) ? in complex II, 2.507(3) ? in complex III).

Surface active and aggregation behavior of methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids of type [Cnmim] [X], n?=?4, 6, 8 and [X]?=?Cl?, Br?, and I? in water

The surface active and aggregation behavior of ionic liquids of type [C _n mim][X] (1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium (mim) halides), where n = 4, 6, 8 and [X] = Cl⁻, Br⁻ and I⁻ was investigated by using three techniques: surface tension, ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). A series of parameters including critical aggregation concentrations (CAC), surface active parameters and thermodynamic parameters of aggregation were calculated. The ¹H NMR chemical shifts and SANS measurements reveal no evidence of aggregates for the short-chain 1-butylmim halides in water and however small oblate ellipsoidal shaped aggregates are formed by ionic liquids with 1-hexyl and 1-octyl chains. Analysis of SANS data analysis at higher concentrations of [C₈mim][Cl] showed that the microstructures consist of cubically packed molecules probably through π–π and hydrogen bond interactions.

Density functional study of magnetic exchange of dinuclear manganese complexes with the heteropolymolyanion: [MnII2(X n +Mo9O33)2]2( n ?10)? (X = PV, AsV, SeVI)

The magnetic exchange interactions between the dimanganese(II)-substituted complexes and the heteropolymolyanion, [Mn^II ₂(X ⁿ⁺Mo₉O₃₃)₂]^2(n−10)− (X = P^V(I), As^V(II) and Se^VI(III)), are investigated by using density functional theory combined with broken-symmetry approach (DFT-BS) method. The calculated magnetic exchange coupling constant (J) of complex II is in reasonable agreement with the responding experimental value and the negative J values indicate that antiferromagnetic exchange interactions exist in these complexes. Furthermore, the influence of the central heteroatom on the exchange coupling within the dimanganese core unit is studied from standpoints of geometry, spin density and frontier orbitals. It demonstrates that the change of the heteroatom X via P^V-As^V-Se^VI elongates the distances of Mn₁...Mn₂ and shortens the distances of O_b...O_b, and reduces the effectiveness of the superexchange pathways, consequently, decreasing the magnitude of the antiferromagnetic coupling constant, J, of these species.

Theoretical studies on N-loss predissociation mechanisms of N2O+ (A?2Σ+) in Cs symmetry

The N-loss predissociation mechanisms of the A ²Σ⁺ (2 ² A′) state of N₂O⁺ to the first and second dissociation limits were studied in the C _s symmetry. The potential energy curves (PECs) and minimum energy crossing points (MECPs) for the C _s states of N₂O⁺ were calculated at the CAS levels. On the basis of our CAS calculation results (CASPT2 energetic results and CASSCF spin orbit couplings), we suggest two processes for N-loss predissociation mechanisms of A ²Σ⁺ (2 ² A′) to the first and second limits. The first two steps in the two processes are the same: A ²Σ⁺ passes through the 2 ² A′/1 ⁴ A″ MECP and then reaches the 1 ⁴ A″ (1 ⁴Σ⁻) PEC. The 2 ² A′/1 ⁴ A″ MECP has a bent geometry and is slightly higher in energy than the transition state along the 1 ⁴ A″ PEC. Our mechanisms are different from the previously suggested mechanisms (via 1 ⁴Π).
