Simple protocol for the synthesis of the asymmetric PCP pincer ligand [C6H4-1-(CH2PPh2)-3-(CH(CH3)PPh2)] and its Pd(II) derivative [PdCl{C6H3-2-(CH2PPh2)-6-(CH(CH3)PPh2)}]

The asymmetric PCP pincer ligand [C₆H₄-1-(CH₂PPh₂)-3-(CH(CH₃)PPh₂)] (4) has been synthesized in a facile manner in three simple steps in high yield. Metallation of PCP pincer ligand (4) with [Pd(COD)Cl₂] affords complex [PdCl{C₆H₃-2-(CH₂PPh₂)-6-(CH(CH₃)PPh₂)}] (7) in good yield.     

Role of B(C6F5)3 in activating the nickel-methyl complex (η-C5H5)Ni(CH3)(PPh3) to initiate the vinyl polymerization of norbornene

The Ni-methyl complex (η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(CH₃)(PPh₃) (1) reacted with B(C₆F₅)₃ to give an unstable contact ion-pair complex with a μ-methyl bridge between the Ni and B atoms. Formation of the B-CH₃ bond was confirmed by the reaction of this complex with PPh₃ to give [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(PPh₃)₂][B(CH₃)(C₆F₅)₃] which was structurally characterized. Spontaneous decomposition of the contact ion-pair complex yielded (η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(C₆F₅)(PPh₃) which is very stable and does not show any reactions with norbornene with or without added B(C₆F₅)₃. ¹⁹F NMR study showed that the polynorbornene obtained by the catalysis of 1/B(C₆F₅)₃ system has the C₆F₅ end-group. A series of reactions, which includes CH₃/C₆F₅ exchange between the Ni and B centers with concomitant dissociation of PPh₃ to accept coordination of a norbornene monomer, is proposed as the route to active species that can initiate vinyl polymerization of norbornene.

Theoretical calculational studies on the mechanism of thermal dissociations for RN3 (R=CH3, CH3CH2, (CH3)2CH, (CH3)3C)

Mechanisms of RN₃ (R=CH₃, CH₃CH₂, (CH₃)₂CH, (CH₃)₃C) dissociations are proposed based on CAS, MP2 and B3LYP methods. The energy gaps between the ground-state reactants RN₃ and the intersystem crossing (ISC) points are only a little lower than respective potential energy barriers of the spin-allowed reactions, ¹RN₃ → ¹RN + ¹N₂. The ISC point, therefore, is considered as a transition state of the spin-forbidden reactions, ¹RN₃ → ³RN + ¹N₂. The methods of IRC and topological analysis of electron density are used to explain and predict the thermal dissociation pathways of the reactions studied.     

A rate constant for CH2(3B1) + CH3

Triplet methylene, CH₂(³B₁), and methyl radicals were produced by flash photolysis of a mixture of ketene and azomethane. A computer fit of the product ratios, using the known rate constants for CH₂ + CH₂, and CH₃ + CH₃, requires a rate constant of 5.0 × 10^?11 cm³ molecule^?1s^?1 for the reaction CH₂ + CH₃ ? C₂H₄ + H.     

On the molecular structure of (CH3)2NSO2N(CH3)2 as studied by gas electron diffraction

The sulphur bond configuration and the prevailing conformation, which was identical to that in the crystal, are discussed in relation to analogous sulphide and sulphoxide derivatives.

Threshold energies for production of CH2(3B1) and CH2(1A1) from ketene photolysis. The CH2(3B1) ↔ CH2(1A1) energy splitting

By measuring the relative CO quantum yields from ketene photolysis as a function of photolysis wavelength we have determined the threshold energy at 25° for CH₂CO(¹A₁) → CH₂(³B₁) + CO(¹Σ⁺) to be 75.7 ± 1.0 kcal/mole. This corresponds to a value of 90.7 ± 1.0 kcal/mole for ΔH_f298⁰[CH₂(³B₁)]. By measuring the relative ratio of CH₂(¹A₁)/CH₂(³B₁) from ketene photolysis as a function of photolysis wavelength we have determined the threshold energy at 25°C for CH₂CO(¹A₁) → CH₂(¹A₁) + CO(¹Σ⁺) to be 84.0 ± 0.6 kcal/mole. This corresponds to a value of 99.0 ± 0.6 kcal/mole for ΔH_f298⁰[CH₂(¹A₁)]. Thus a value for the CH₂(³B₁) ? CH₂(¹A₁) energy splitting of 8.3 ± 1 kcal/mole is determined, which agrees with three other recent independent experimental estimates and the most recent quantum theoretical calculations.     

Ethylene addition to OsO3(CH2) - A theoretical study

Quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/TZVP level of theory have been carried out for the initial steps of the addition reaction of ethylene to OsO₃(CH₂). The calculations predict that there are two reaction channels with low activation barriers. The kinetically and thermodynamically most favored reaction is the [3+2]_O, C addition which has a barrier of only 2.3 kcal mol⁻¹. The [3+2]_O, O addition has a slightly higher barrier of 6.5 kcal mol⁻¹. Four other reactions of OsO₃(CH₂) with C₂H₄ have significantly larger activation barriers. The addition of ethylene to one oxo group with concomitant migration of one hydrogen atom from ethylene to the methylene ligand yields thermodynamically stable products but the activation energies for the reactions are 16.7 and 20.9 kcal mol⁻¹. Even higher barriers are calculated for the [2+2] addition to the OsO bond (32.6 kcal mol⁻¹) and for the addition to the oxygen atom yielding an oxiran complex (41.2 kcal mol⁻¹). The activation barriers for the rearrangement to the bisoxoosmaoxirane isomer (36.3 kcal mol⁻¹) and for the addition reactions of the latter with C₂H₄ are also quite high. The most favorable reactions of the cyclic isomer are the slightly exothermic [2+2] addition across the OsO bond which has an activation barrier of 46.6 kcal mol⁻¹ and the [3+2]_O, O addition which is an endothermic process with an activation barrier of 44.3 kcal mol⁻¹.     

Nuclear quadrupole resonances of α-(CH3)2 TeX2 (X=Cl, Br, I) and (CH3)2 TeI4

NQR spectra were observed for α-(CH₃)₂ TeX₂ (X=Cl, Br, I) and (CH₃)₂ TeI₄ at various temperatures. The two ⁸¹Br NQR lines were observed above 110 K in α-(CH₃)₂TeBr₂. The characteristic temperature dependence of the ¹²⁷I NQR line in α-(CH₃)₂ TeI. can be explained by the 3c—4e bond of the linear I---Te---I group. The positive temperatures dependence of the lowest ¹²⁷I NQR line in (CH₃)₂TeI₄ is discussed on the basis of the electron population calculated from Townes—Dailey treatment.     

Carbonylvanadium complexes of the tripod ligands MeC(CH2PPh2)3 and P(CH2CH2PPh2)3

UV irradiation of [Et₄N] [V(CO)₆] in the presence of the tripod ligands (L) MeC(CH₂PPh₂)₃ (cp₃) and P(CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₃ (pp₃) yields [Et₄N] [V(CO)₅L], cis-[Et₄N] [V(CO)₄L] and mer-[Et₄N] [V(CO)₃L] (where the meridional configuration for L = cp₃ is uncertain). Except for [Et₄N] [V(CO)₅cp₃], all these species were isolated. The complexes are characterized by their IR, ³¹P and ⁵¹V NMR spectra.     

Preparation and structural characterization of [RuCl2(CO)2{Te(CH2SiMe3)2}2] and [RuCl2(CO){Te(CH2SiMe3)2}3]

The objective of the present work was to synthesize mononuclear ruthenium complex [RuCl₂(CO)₂{Te(CH₂SiMe₃)₂}₂] (1) by the reaction of Te(CH₂SiMe₃)₂ and [RuCl₂(CO)₃]₂. However, the stoichiometric reaction affords a mixture of 1 and [RuCl₂(CO){Te(CH₂SiMe₃)₂}₃] (2). The X-ray structures show the formation of the cis(Cl), cis(C), trans(Te) isomer of 1 and the cis(Cl), mer(Te) isomer of 2. The ¹²⁵Te NMR spectra of the complexes are reported. The complex distribution depends on the initial molar ratio of the reactants. With an excess of [RuCl₂(CO)₃]₂ only 1 is formed. In addition to the stoichiometric reaction, a mixture of 1 and 2 is observed even when using an excess of Te(CH₂SiMe₃)₂. Complex 1 is, however, always the main product. In these cases the ¹²⁵Te NMR spectra of the reaction solution also indicates the presence of unreacted ligand.

Preparation and configurational isomerism of ditertiary stibine sulfides, (C6H5)(CH3)(S)SbCH2Sb(CH3)(C6H5) and [(C6H5)(CH3)(S)Sb]2(CH2)3

Asymmetric ditertiary stibine sulfides (C₆H₅)(CH₃)(S)SbCH₂Sb(CH₃)(C₆H₅) and [(C₆H₅)(CH₃)(S)Sb]₂(CH₂)₃ have been prepared. It was found that they exist as only one of two possible diastereomers in the crystalline state. However, isomerization to the other form takes place in solution, resulting in an equilibrium mixture. A possibility of configurational lability of tertiary stibine sulfide was suggested for the first time.     

Synthesis and structure of a new uranyl selenate complex with 1-butylamine [CH3(CH2)3NH3](H5O2)[(UO2)2(SeO4)3(H2O)]

The crystal structure was determined by the X-ray diffraction analysis. The observed character of the arrangement of organic molecules in the interlayer space confirms the concept of hydrophilic and hydrophobic zones.

The reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with but-2-yn-1,4-diol (HOCH₂CCCH₂OH, BUD) in CH₃OH/KOH followed by acidification with HCl leads to four products, one of which has been identified as the title complex (μ-Cl)Ru₃(CO)₉[μ₃-η⁴-H₂CCC(H)CH₂]. This is an open cluster containing a bridging Cl atom on the open side and a C₄H₅ moiety bound to all the metals. The structure of the complex has been determined by X-ray analysis.The thermal reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with BUD has been revisited for a comparison with the results in alkaline solution. The main product is the allylic derivative HRu₃(CO)₉[HCCHCCHO].
