Kinetics and mechanism of the anation of (αβ)-hydroxo(tetraethylenepentamine)cobalt(III) by thiosulfate, the base hydrolysis of the (sulfur-bonded) thiosulfato(tetraethylenepentamine)-cobalt(III) and photochemistry of oxygen and sulfur-bonded thiosulfato complexes

Summary The reaction of ()-(tetren)CoOH²⁺ with S₂O ₃ ^2- in the 7.25–8.28 pH range at 20–40 °C yielded S- (yellow) and O- (purple) bonded thiosulfato(tetren)cobalt(III) complexes, the former in larger quantities. The rate determining step is preceded by diffusion-controlled ion-pair [(tetren)CoOH²⁺,S₂O ₃ ^2- ] formation. Replacement of coordinated OH^- by S₂O ₃ ^2- is interpreted in terms of an internal conjugate base mechanism: (tetren)CoOH²⁺ (tetren-H)CoOH ₂ ²⁺ , the reactive amido conjugate base being generated by intramolecular proton transfer from the coordinated NH site.In acid medium the S-bonded (tetren)Co(S₂O₃)⁺ is highly stable to redox decomposition, in contrast to its pentaammine analogue. The complex however, undergoes base hydrolysis yielding the corresponding hydroxo complex. The rate and activation parameters for the base hydrolysis have been reported. Photolysis of O- and S-bonded isomers of [(tetren)CoS₂O₃]⁺ in acidic medium at 254 and 313 nm, respectively, yielded aquation products accompanied by some decomposition of S₂O ₃ ^2- .     

Density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio investigations of the electronic and molecular structures of the monomer and the dimer of trimethylaluminium

The electronic and molecular structures of the monomer and dimer of trimethylalu-minium have been studied using density functional theory and ab initio MP2 method. The optimized geometry of the monomer Al(CH3)3 is of C3h symmetry, whereas that of the dimer [A1(CH3)3]2 contains a carbon-bridged four-membered ring structure with C2h symmetry. The hydrogen-bridged six-membered ring structure is found to be unstable. The calculated dimerization energy for the four-membered ring structure is 78 kJ/mol, in close proximity to the experimental value of 85.27 kJ/mol.

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the α and β Forms of Bis(salicylaldoxime)copper(Ⅱ) Complexes

Modified α and β bis(salicylaldoxime)copper(Ⅱ) have been obtained by recrystallization from ethyl acetate(CCDC Nos. 212157 & 212158). The X-ray analysis reveals that the two modificated forms have the same structure with different geometric parameters. The α form crystallizes in the P2(1)/c space group and the β form in the P1 space group. Both the crystal structures consist of centrosymmetric monomeric molecules of Cu(OC6H4CNOH)2. The IR spectra are in agreement with the structural data.

Modulating the stereochemical outcome of the Ireland–Claisen reaction of (E)- and (Z)-allylic glycolates

The diastereoselectivity of Ireland–Claisen rearrangements of allylic glycolates is dependent on the E:Z ratio of the silyl ketene acetals, the alkene geometry in the allyl unit, and the transition state topography. High yields and excellent diastereoselectivities (>95:5) have been achieved for selected substrates, including those with R₂ = ethyl that results in a newly formed quaternary center. A discussion of the scope, selectivities, and transition state models will be presented.     

Synthesis of (NHC)Rh(cod)Cl and (NHC)RhCl(CO)2 complexes – Translation of the Rh- into the Ir-scale for the electronic properties of NHC ligands

Twenty-three different Rh complexes of the (NHC)RhCl(cod) and (NHC)RhCl(CO)₂ type were synthesized from [RhCl(cod)]₂. The electron donating nature of the NHC ligands was changed in a systematic manner. The redox potentials of the various (NHC)RhCl(cod) and the ν(CO) of the various (NHC)RhCl(CO)₂ were determined. A correlation of the Rh redox potentials and the Rh ν(CO), respectively, with the related data from analogous (NHC)IrCl(cod) and (NHC)IrCl(CO)₂ complexes established two linear relationships. The linear regression (R² = 0.993) of the Rh and the Ir redox potentials results in an equation for the redox potential transformation: E_1/2(Ir) = 1.016 · E_1/2(Rh) ? 0.076 V. The linear regression (R² = 0.97) of the Rh and Ir ν_av(CO) results in an equation for the ν_av(CO) transformation: ν_av(CO)Ir = 0.8695 · ν_av(CO)Rh + 250.7 cm^?1. In this manner the Rh and the Ir-scale for the determination of the electron donating properties of NHC ligands are unified.     

Effects of Y (Ⅲ) Ions on the Fluorescence Properties of Ce(Ⅲ) Ion and the Organic Ligands in the Complex

The enhancement effects of Y ( Ⅲ) ions on the fluorescence of Ce ( Ⅲ) in Ce ( Ⅲ)-Y ( Ⅲ)-PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate ) or Ce ( Ⅲ)-Y ( Ⅲ)-PVC (polyvinyl chloride ) complex systems were observed. The influence of Y ( Ⅲ) ions on the emission spectra of PMMA ligands in PMMA-Y ( Ⅲ) and the fluorescent enhance- ment of Y( Ⅲ) on Ce( Ⅲ) emission in PMMA-Ce-Y by Y( Ⅲ) ion were studied. It was also of interest to note that when Y ( Ⅲ) ions were added into PMMA and into bpy(bipyridine ), respectively, the emission spectrum of PMMA ligands was split into fine structure bands by Y ( Ⅲ), and the fluorescence intensities of bpy ligands in bpy-Y ( Ⅲ) complexes were considerably increased.     

Relationship between the analytical properties of lanthanide(III) βdiketonates and the nature of ligands

The effect of the nature of β-diketones on the spectrochemical-luminescence properties of lanthanide complexes used as analytical forms for the highly sensitive determination of some rare-earth elements was examined. NMR spectroscopy, molecular mechanics, calculations, and an experimental evaluation of the hydrophobicity of the test β-diketones indicated that an increase in the intensity, quantum yield, and lifetime of luminescence of lanthanide (Ln) β-diketonates depends on the charge distribution in the chelate ring, on the spatial structure, and on the hydrophobicity of the coordinated ligand. These factors determine the efficiency of energy transfer from the β-diketone to the Ln⁺³ ion and the decrease in energy losses caused by the quenching action of water molecules.

Structural effects of the lone pair on lead(II), and parallels with the coordination geometry of mercury(II). Does the lone pair on lead(II) form H-bonds? Structures of the lead(II) and mercury(II) complexes of the pendant-donor macrocycle DOTAM (1,4,7,10-tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane)

The synthesis and structures of [Pb(DOTAM)](ClO4)2.4.5H2O (1) and [Hg(DOTAM)](ClO4)2.0.5CH3OH.1.5H2O (2) are reported, where DOTAM is 1,4,7,10-tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane. Compound 1 is triclinic, space group P, a = 12.767(3) A, b = 13.528(2) A, c = 18.385(3) A, alpha = 101.45(2) degrees, beta = 93.32(2) degrees, gamma = 90.53(2) degrees, Z = 4, R = 0.0500. Compound 2 is monoclinic, space group Cc, a = 12.767(3) A, b = 13.528(2) A, c = 18.385(3) A, beta = 101.91(2) degrees, Z = 4, R = 0.0381. The Pb(II) ion in 1 has an average Pb-N = 2.63 A to four N-donors from the macrocyclic ring, and four O-donors (average Pb-O = 2.77 A) from the amide pendant donors of the macrocycle, with a water molecule placed with Pb-O = 3.52 A above the proposed site of the lone pair (Lp) on Pb. The Hg(II) in 2 appears to be only six-coordinate, with four Hg-N bond lengths averaging 2.44 A, and two Hg-O from pendant amide donors at 2.41 A. The other two amide donors appear to be noncoordinating, with Hg-O distances of 2.74 and 2.82 A. A water situated 3.52 A above the proposed site of the lone pair on Pb(II) in 1 is oriented in such a way that it might be thought to be forming a Pb-Lp.H-O-H hydrogen bond. It is concluded that that this is not an H-bond, but that the presence of the lone pair allows a closer approach of the hydrogens to Pb than would be true otherwise. The structural analogy in the VSEPR sense between Pb(II), which has the 5d(10)6s(2) outer electron structure, and the Hg(II) ion, which has the 5d10 structure, is examined. The tendency of Hg(II) toward linear coordination, with two short Hg-L bonds (L = ligand) at 180 degrees to each other, and other donor groups at roughly 90 degrees to this and at much longer bond distances, is paralleled by Pb(II). One of the short Hg-L bonds is replaced in the Pb(II) structures by the lone pair (Lp), which is opposite the short Pb-L bond, or in some cases 2-4 shorter Pb-L bonds.     

Modeling of the Electronic Absorption Spectra and Photoionization of Scandium and Titanium Tris(acetylacetonates) by the DV-XαMethod

In order to interpret the electronic absorption spectra of titanium tris(-diketonates) and to establish the correlation between the ionization and excitation energies, the oscillator strengths and energies and the ionization energies for the model complexes M(Mal)₃(Mal is deprotonated malonodialdehyde, M = Sc, Ti) were calculated in the transition state approximation of the DV-Xmethod. The good agreement between the calculated photoelectron spectra and the experimental data and the correlation found between two types of excitation justified the assignment of the experimental absorption bands to the electronic states of Ti(Acac)₃.     

Determination of combustion energies and the standard enthalpies of formation for the complexes of RE(Et_2dtc)_3(phen)

Solid complexes, RE(Et2dtc)3(phen) (RE=La, Pr, Nd, Sm-Lu), were synthesized with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (NaEt2dtc3H2O),1,10-phenanthroline (o-phen·H2O) and hydrated lanthanide chlorides in absolute ethanol. The constant-volume combustion energies of complexes,ΔcU, were determined by a precise rotating-bomb calorimeter at 298.15 K. The standard enthalpies of combustion,ΔcHmθ, and standard enthalpies of formation,ΔfHmθ, were calculated for these complexes, respectively. The experiment results showed the "tripartite effect" of rare earth.     

9-(β-pyridylmethylene)-4-azafluorene synthesis of the Z- and E-isomers of its methiodides and reduction of the Z-isomer

The 9-(-pyridylmethylene)-4-azafluorene was obtained as the mixture of the Z- and E-isomers. Condensation of 4-azafluorene with methiodides of 3-formylpyridine afforded the methiodides of these isomers which were isolated in discrete form. Their configuration was established. It was established using the example of the reduction of the methiodide of the Z-isomer by sodium borohydride that the -pyridinium portion of this quaternary salt is completely reduced to the piperidyl.Russian University of the Friendship of Peoples, Moscow 117923.

Synthesis and Structure of the Copper(I) Complex Containing Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane

1 INTRODUCTION Procedures to synthesize copper(I) complexes are of great interest because of the diversity of products resulting from almost the same methodology. It has long been known that four-electron-donor diphosphine compounds Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 are excellent bidentate ligands[1]. The chelating tendency decreases as the chain length increases, so that for the ligands Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2, the tendency to chelation is the greatest for bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane. Copper(I) displays wide…     

Radical scavenging and in vitro antifungal activities of Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes of the t-butylphenyl derivative of porphyrazine

Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes and metal-free t-butylphenyl peripherally substituted porphyrazine (Pz) have been screened for in vitro antifungal (Aspergillus niger) and antioxidant (free radical scavenging, superoxide radical scavenging, and reducing power) activities. The results were compared with synthetic antioxidants, e.g., butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), trolox, or α-tocopherol. The free radical scavenging activity of H₂Pz was higher than the CuPz complex. However, CuPz complex showed higher superoxide radical scavenging activity than BHA, BHT, and trolox while H₂Pz and CoPz showed weaker activity than BHA, BHT, and trolox. The reducing power of all complexes was similar to that of BHT and α-tocopherol on a per molar basis. The ligand and complexes have antifungal activity against A. niger. The compounds have significant superoxide radical scavenging activity against various antioxidant systems in vitro.
