Crown ether styryl dyes

A novel styryl dye containing benzodithia-18-crown-6 andN-(4-sulfobutyl)benzothiazolium fragments was synthesized. The complex formation of thecis-isomers of several photochromic styryl dyes containing dithia-15(18)-crown-5(6) fragments with Hg²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions was studied. The stability constants of the complexes with Mg²⁺ and the relative stability constants of the complexes with Hg²⁺ (with respect to benzo-1,10-dithia-18-crown-6 ether) were measured. The fact that the stability constant increases 11-fold on going from thetrans- to the correspondingcis-isomer was attributed to the formation of an anion-“capped” complex. For Part 22, see Ref. 1.

Synergistic extraction of americium(III) with 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone and crown ethers

Extracton, of Am³⁺ in benzene with 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) and crown ethers (CEs) such as 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, dicyclohexano-18-crown-6, dibenzo-18-crown-6, dicyclohexano-24-crown-8, and dibenzo-24-crown-8 was investigated. Synergistic effect by CE was observed regardless of the kind of CE examined. The extracted species was found to be Am(TTA)₃(CE), and adduct formation constants between Am(TTA)₃ and CE in the organic phase were determined. The sequence of constant could not be explained only by basicity of CE and the steric effect of CE should be taken into account to elucidate the adduct complex formation.     

Stability constants for some divalent metal ion/crown ether complexes in methanol determined by polarography and conductometry

Stability constants in methanol at 25.0°C were evaluated for the complexes of the divalent cations Ca²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺, Mg²⁺, Co²⁺ and Cu²⁺ with the macrocyclic polyethers 15-crown-5 (15C5), 18-crown-6 (18C6), dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DC18C6) and dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8). The log K values of the 1:1 complexes were generally in the range 2.1–4.2, which is low in comparison to the values of the corresponding crown ether/alkali metal ion complexes. M₂L complexes were observed for the systems Pb²⁺/18C6, Pb²⁺/DC18C6, Ca²⁺/DC18C6 and Cu²⁺/D18C6, whereas ML₂ complexes were found for Ca²⁺/18C6 and Cu²⁺/18C6. Within the series of complexes studied, there was no clear relationship between cation diameter and hole size.     

Lithium-7 NMR Study of Several Li+-Crown Ether Complexes in Binary Acetone-Nitrobenzene Mixtures

⁷Li NMR measurements were employed to monitor the stoichiometry andstability of Li⁺ ion complexes with 12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C5), benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) l8-crown-6 (18C6), dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DC18C6) and dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) in binary acetone-nitrobenzene mixtures of varying composition. In all cases studied, the variation of ⁷Li chemical shift with the crown/Li⁺ mole ratio indicated the formation of 1:1 complexes. The formation constants of the resulting complexes were evaluated from computer fitting of the mole ratio data to an equation that relates the observed chemical shifts to the formation constant. In all solvent mixtures used, the stabilities of the resulting 1:1 complexes varied in the order15C5 > B15C5 > DC18C6 > 18C6 > 12C4 >DB18C6. It was found that,in the case of all complexes, an increase in the percentage of acetone in thesolvent mixtures significantly decreased the stability of the complexes.     

Complexes of Lanthanoid Nitrates with 15-Crown-5 and 18-Crown-6 Ethers

Complexes between the heavier lanthanoid nitrates Ln(NO₃)₃ and 15-crown-5 ( 1 ) and 18-crown-6 ( 2 ) ethers were isolated and characterized. Both 1:1 and 4:3 complexes are formed with each Ln(III) ion, except in the case of Gd and 2 . The thermal transformation of the 1:1 complexes into the corresponding 4:3 complexes was studied by thermogravimetry and by DSC, X-ray and vibrational data provide information about the structure of these complexes. The interaction between Ln(III) ions and ligands 1 and 2 in non-aqueous solutions is discussed on the basis of conductometric, fluorescence, UV./VIS. and ¹H-NMR. data. Only 1:1 complexes of 2 formed in solution and their formation constants range from logK_f = 4.4 (Ln = La) to 2.4 (Ln = Yb); for Eu, K_f of the 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 ether complexes are of the same order of magnitude. For La, Pr, Nd, Eu, Yb, a variable temperature NMR. study gave some indications about the chemical exchanges in solution. The factors which determine the stoichiometry of the complexes are discussed.     

A Polarographic Study on Some Complexes of Pb2+ and Cd2+ with Macrocyclic Polyethers (Crown Ethers)

Abstract

Complexation constants of Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ nitrates with five crown compounds (18-crown-6, dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6, benzo-15-crown-5, dibenzo-24-crown-8 and 12-crown-4), have been determined by d.c. and a.c. polarographic measurements in aqueous medium using 0.1 M HNO₃ as supporting electrolyte. The complexes of lead with 18-crown-6 and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 are very stable which may be attributed to the partially covalent bonds formed by this metal ion.     

Study of complexation of phenylaza-15-crwon-5, 4-nitrobenzo- 15-crown-5, and benzo-15-crown-5 with Ag+, Tl+ and Pb2+ ions in methanol by competitive potentiometry

The complexation reaction of phenylaza-15-crwon-5, 4- nitrobenzo- 15-crown-5, and benzo-15-crown-5 with Ag⁺, Tl⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions in methanol solution have been studied by a competitive potentiometric method. The Ag⁺/Ag electrode used both as an indicator and reference electrode in a concentration cell. The emf of cell monitored as the crown ethers concentration varies through the titration. The stoichiometry and stability constants of resulting complexes have been evaluated by MINIQUAD. The stoichiometry for all resulting complexes was 1:1. The stability of these metal ions with derivatives of 15-crown-5 are in order phenylaza-15-crown-5 > Benzo-15-crown-5 > 4-nitrobenzo-15-crown-5, and for the each used crown ethers are as Pb²⁺ > Ag⁺ > Tl⁺. The effect of the substituted group on the stability of resulting complexes was considered. The obtained results are novel and interesting.     

冠醚配合物的热力学性质的研究 III. 碱金属离子与18C6甲基衍生物配位反应的电导研究

The coordination reaction of Na+, K+, Rb+ and Cs+ with benzo- 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6 and the newly synthesized cyclic polyethers 2, 3-benzo-8, 15-dimethyl-18-crown-6, 2, 3-benzo-8, 11, 15-trimethyl-18-crown-6 in methanol at 25`C has been studied by conductometric titration. The stability constants for the 1:1 coordination compounds were calculated. The marked selectivity of 18-crown-6 toward alkali metal ions was not found in its methyl derivatives. The induction effect of the benzene ring and methyl group on polyether ring reduced the stability of the coordination compounds. In methanol, the stability sequence of te compounds of alkali metal ions with 18-crown-6 was K+>Rb+>Cs+>Na+, that of its dimethyl derivative was K+>Rb+>Na+>Cs+ and that of its trimethyl derivative was K+>Na+>Rb+>Cs+, that is, the methyl substituent had a weaker influence on the stability of Na+ compound than on that of Rb+ or Cs+ compound. In the range of concentration studied, decrease in equivalent conductance is in agreement with the prediction on the basis of the structure of the complexes. The above results may give a clue for modifying the structure of a crown ether for specified selectivity.     

Effect of complexation on spectral and kinetic properties of crown-substituted photochromic spironaphthoxazines

The insertion of benzo-15-crown-5 or benzo-18-crown-6 as a substituent at the 9'-position of a spironaphthoxazine molecule increases the lifetime of the open form of spironaphthoxazine by a factor ofca. 2. The complex formation between the crown groups and Mg²⁺ or Ba²⁺ ions changes the lifetime slightly. The addition of benzo-18-crown-6 at the 5'-position leads to an increase in the lifetime of the open form by an order of magnitude and the appearance of absorption with a maximum at 16420 cm^–1 under dark conditions, which testifies to the stabilization of the open form. The addition of Ba²⁺ ions to this compound results in a further increase in the lifetime byca. 35% due to complex formation. The luminescence of the benzo-15-crown-5-substituted compound is probably caused by both the complexation with Mg²⁺ and the photochemical reaction induced by photoactive light and is accompanied by the irreversible loss of photochromism.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Fencing of Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Nonconjugated Bichromophoric System by β-cyclodextrin Nanocavity

²³Na NMR measurements were employed to monitor the stability of Na⁺ ion complexes with 18-crown-6 (18C6), dicycloxyl-18-crown-6 (DC18C6), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6), 15-crown-5 (15C5) and benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) in binary acetonitrile–dimethylformamide mixtures of varying composition. In all cases, the variation of ²³Na chemical shift with [crown]/[Na⁺] mole ratios indicated the formation of 1:1 complexes. The formation constants of the resulting complexes were evaluated from computer fitting of the mole ratio data to an equation which relates the observed chemical shifts to the formation constants. It was found that, in pure acetonitrile, the stabilities of the resulting 1:1 complexes vary in the order 15C5>DC18C6>B15C5>18C6>DB18C6, while in pure dimethylformamide the stability order is DC18C6>18C6>15C5>B15C5>DB18C6. The observed changes in the stability order could be related to the specific interactions between some crown ethers and acetonitrile. It was found that, in the case of all complexes, an increase in the percentage of dimethylformamide in the solvent mixtures would significantly decrease the stability of the complexes.

Spectroscopic study of charge transfer complexes of some benzo crown ethers with π-acceptors DDQ and TCNE in dichloromethane solution

Formation of the charge transfer complexes between benzo-15-crown-5, dibenzo-18-crown-6, dibenzo-24-crown-8 and dibenzo-crown-10 and the π-acceptors DDQ and TCNE in dichloromethane solution was investigated spectrophotometrically.

The stabilities of the complexes of both π-acceptors vary in the order DB18C6 > DB3OC10 ⋍ DB24C8 > B15C5. All of the resulting complexes were isolated in crystalline form and characterized. The influences of potassium ion on the formation and stability of the TCNE molecular complexes were studied. Effects of the crown ether structure and the role of the K⁺ ion on the formation of charge transfer complexes are discussed.     

The influence of acetonitrile on complex formation of crown ethers containing different donor atoms

The complexation reactions of crown ethers with monovalent cations and Ba²⁺ were studied in acetonitrile solutions by means of calorimetric and potentiometric titration. The reaction enthalpies measured clearly demonstrate the influence of the interactions between 18-crown-6 and the acetonitrile solvent molecules. Changing the donor atoms or other substituents on the ligand molecule can exert a strong influence on the interactions with the solvent. Thus, all the reaction enthalpies measured for the reaction of 15-crown-5 with different cations are higher compared with 18-crown-6. On comparison with results in methanol, an approximate estimation is made of the influence of solvent molecules on the reaction enthalpies measured in acetonitrile. Due to the strong interaction between silver ion and acetonitrile, complex formation is only observed with crown ethers containing additional nitrogen or sulphur donor atoms.     

Complexes of Mercury(II) Cyanide with Crown Ethers in Dimethylsulfoxide

The complexation of mercury(II) cyanide with macrocyclic ligands 15-crown-5,18-crown-6 and dibenzo-24-crown-8 in dimethylsulfoxide was studied using¹⁹⁹Hg NMR measurements. No significant complexation with 15-crown-5was observed. The stability constants K_s for 1 : 1 complexes with two other ligands were determined and found to be similar, in contrary to the results reported in nitrobenzene. Solvent effects on K_s values obtained are discussed in comparison with the literature data. X-ray crystal structure of Hg(CN)₂.A18-crown-6 was also determined.
