Aspects of the inorganic chemistry of rubber vulcanization. Part 61 Compounds of benzothiazole-2-selenone; a selenium-containing analogue of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole

Summary Benzothiazole-2-selenone, BTSeH, was prepared by treating 2-chlorobenzothiazole with Na₂Se, and the 6-ethoxy analogue (EtOBTSeH) was obtained similarly. From BTSeH, the species [R₄N][BTSe] (R=Me, Et Bu-n), Zn-(BTSe)₂(pyr)₂, (BTSe^–)₂, Zn(BTSe-)₂I₂ and Me₂C=CH-CH(SSeTB)Me were obtained. Addition of [n-Bu₄N] [BTSe] to [Zn(BTSe)₂] _n afforded [n-Bu₄N] [Zn(BTSe)₃(H₂O)]. The Se n.m.r. spectra of these species are briefly reported.     

Thermal and photochemical interaction of octacyanometallates(IV), [M(CN)8]4− (M = Mo or W) in the presence of pyrazine

The interactions between [M(CN)₈]^4– (M = Mo or W) and pyrazine (pz) in the solid state and in aqueous solutions have been analysed. In strongly acidic solutions {pzH⁺, [M(CN)₈]^4–} ion pair formation is observed; the pyrazinium salts (pzH)₂(H₃O)₂[Mo(CN)₈]·0.5pz·3H₂O and (pzH)₂K(H₃O)[W(CN)₈]·H₂O have been isolated. The X-ray crystal structure of the latter, and the spectroscopic properties of both, are described. The [W(CN)₈]^4– anion is approximately square antiprismatic (D_4d), with different H-bond environments around the N atoms. The ligand-field photolysis of [M(CN)₈]^4– in the presence of pyrazine in neutral and alkaline solution results in the formation of tetracyanooxometallates(IV) in equilibrium with pentacyanooxometallates(IV) through the [M(CN)₇(pz)]^3– anions as intermediates. The formation of the [M(CN)₆(pz)₂]^2– ion, postulated in the literature to be the final product of the alkaline photolysis, has definitively been excluded.     

Electrochemical synthesis and magnetic studies of neutral transition metal imidazolates and pyrazolates

Summary The single-step electrochemical synthesis of neutral transition metal complexes of imidazole, pyrazole and their derivatives has been achieved at ambient temperature. The metal was oxidized in an Me₂CO solution of the diazole to yield complexes of the general formula: [M(Iz)₂] (where M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; Iz = imidazolate); [M(MeIz)₂] (where M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; MeIz = 4-methylimidazolate); [M(PrⁱIz)₂] (where M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; PrⁱIz = 2-isopropylimidazolate); [M(pyIz)_n] (where M = Co^III, Cu^II, Zn^II; pyIz = 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazolate); [M(Pz)_n] (where M = Co^III, Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II; Pz = pyrazolate); [M(ClPz)_n] and [M(IPz)_n] (where M = Co^III, Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II; ClPz = 4-chloropyrazolate; IPz = 4-iodopyrazolate); [M(Me₂Pz)_n] (where M = Co^II, Cu^I, Zn^II; Me₂Pz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazolate) and [M(BrMe₂Pz)_n] (where M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^I, Zn^II; BrMe₂Pz = 3,5-dimethyl-4-bromopyrazolate). Vibrational spectra verified the presence of the anionic diazole and electronic spectra confirmed the stereochemistry about the metal centre. Variable temperature (360-90 K) magnetic measurements of the cobalt and copper chelates revealed strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the metal ions in the lattice. Data for the copper complexes were fitted to a Heisenberg (S= ) model for an infinite one-dimensional linear chain, yielding best fit values of J=–62––65cm^–1 andg = 2.02–2.18. Data for the cobalt complexes were fitted to an Ising (S= ) model with J=–4.62––11.7cm^–1 andg = 2.06–2.49.     

Extraction of thorium from aqueous nitric acid solution by bis-2-(butoxyethyl ether) (DBC)

The solvent extraction of thorium(IV) (4.3·10^–4M) from nitric acid solution by bis-2-(butoxyethyl ether) (butex or DBC) has been studied. It has been investigated as a function of nitric acid, extractant and metal ion concentration. The effect of equilibration time, diverse ions and salting-out agent on the extraction has also been examined. Among anions, fluoride, phosphate, oxalate and perchlorate have reduced the extraction. Cations such as Na(I), K(I), Ca(II), Zn(II), Al(III), Ti(IV), Zr(IV) except Sr(II) and Pb(II) do not interfere in the extraction. The extraction is enhanced upto 97% in three stages at 6M HNO₃ having 2.94M NaNO₃ as salting-out agent. The extraction is found to be independent of thorium concentration in the range studied (4.3·10^–4–4.3·10^–2M). The temperature (18–45°C) has an adverse effect on the extraction. A 1% solution of ammonium bifluoride is found to be a good stripping solution and recovery of thorium is >98%.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a two-dimensional mixed-valence assembly [Fe(salen)]2[Fe(CN)5NO]

A cyanide-bridged Fe^III–Fe^II mixed-valence assembly, [Fe^III(salen)]₂[Fe^II(CN)₅NO] [salen = N,N-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion], prepared by slow diffusion of an aqueous solution of Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO] · 2H₂O and a MeOH solution of [Fe(salen)NO₃] in an H tube, has been characterized by X-ray structure analysis, i.r. spectra and magnetic measurements. The product assumes a two-dimensional network structure consisting of pillow-like octanuclear [—Fe^II—CN—Fe^III—NC—]₄ units with dimensions: Fe^II—C = 1.942(7) Å, C—N = 1.139(9) Å, Fe^III—N = 2.173(6) Å, Fe^II—C—N = 178.0(6)°, Fe^III—N—C = 163.4(6)°. The Fe^II—N—O bond angle is linear (180.0°). The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility, measured in the 4.8–300 K range, indicates the presence of a weak intralayer antiferromagnetic interaction and gives an Fe^III–Fe^III exchange integral of –0.033 cm^–1.     

Determination of Potassium and Sodium in Nonaqueous Solvents by Stripping Voltammetry in a Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic Field

The effect of a radio-frequency electromagnetic field on the parameters of the analytical signal of potassium and sodium in stripping voltammetry in nonaqueous solvents was studied. Sodium and potassium can be separately determined in a concentration range of 2 × 10^–5–2 × 10^–7 M (RSD = 10–17%) upon the irradiation of the solution with an electromagnetic field of a frequency of 55 MHz. The irradiation efficiency depends on the frequency and the nature of the solvent. The detection limits for potassium and sodium were 8.0 × 10^–8 and 1.0 × 10^–7 M, respectively, in the presence of 0.02 M [(C₄H₉)₄N]I in dimethylformamide at a field frequency of 55 MHz.     

Thermodynamics of tetraalkyl- and bis- tetraalkylammonium bromides: II. Heat capacities of solid state from 273 to 373 K

The solid phase heat capacities of a number of hydrocarbon containing salts have been determined in the temperature range 273 to 373 K using a differential scanning calorimeter. The salts studied include tetramethyl-, tetraethyl-, and tetrabutylammonium bromide and the bis-tetraalkylammonium bromide series of the general formula [R₃N(CH₂)_nNR₃]Br₂, where n = 2,3… 10, and R = ethyl or allyl. With the exception of n-Bu₄NBr, the heat capacities of the salts were found to increase linearly with temperature over the range investigated. DSC curves of the bis-tetraalkylammonium series indicated that some of them have broad thermal transitions occurring between 365 K and their decomposition point, n-Bu₄NBr was the only tetraalkylammonium salt to show any anomalous thermal transitions in the solid phase. The origin of these transitions may be due to mesophase formation.     

Structures of Bismuth(III) Complexonates in Aqueous Solutions Studied by 1H NMR Method

Aqueous solutions of bismuth(III) nitrilotriacetates BiNta · 2H₂O and M₃Bi(Nta)₂ ·nH₂O (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH₄, CN₃H₆, n = 0–4) and the K[Bi(Edta)(Tu)₂] complex (Edta^4– is the anion of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Tu is thiocarbamide) are studied by the ¹H NMR method at room temperature in the pH interval from 2 to 11. The formation of two types of bismuth nitrilotriacetate complexes in solutions is established. They are characterized by the presence (type 1) or absence (type 2) of the Bi–N bond. Their ratio, depending on the composition and pH of the solution, is determined. The K[Bi(Edta)(Tu)₂] compound in solutions occurs as one form. The pH values at which the substance begins to decompose are determined for each compound.     

Preparation,characterization and electrical conductivity of new heterobimetallic chalcogenates and their 1,10-phenanthroline adducts

New mixed metal chalcogenate coordination polymers, MPb(SCN)₂(SeCN)₂ [M = Co^II, Ni^II or Hg^II], Ag₂-Pb(SCN)₂(SeCN)₂, and the complex heterobimetallic salts, [M(phen)₃][Pb(SCN)₂(SeCN)₂][M = Co^II or Ni^II; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline] that have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, i.r. and u.v.–vis. spectra, and by powder XRD patterns. Their solid state electrical conductivities have been investigated, show _rt in the 10^–10–10^–6 S cm^–1 range, and semiconduct at 313–383 K with band gaps in the 0.28–0.91 eV range. [Co(phen)₃][Pb(SCN)₂(SeCN)₂], exhibits a remarkable increase, i.e. 10⁴ order of magnitude, in conductivity at higher temperature, which reflects a disordered metallic system where charge carriers have difficulty in crossing the non-conducting barrier at low temperature.     

Anion dependence of crown ether selectivities for alkali picrates and sulfonates in dioxane and toluene. A synergistic effect

The binding constants,K _N, of sodium and potassium 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate (ANS) and of sodium 5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonate (DNS) to benzo-18-crown-6 bound to a 2% cross-linked polystyrene network (RN18C6) were measured spectrophotometrically in dioxane and the results compared with those obtained for picrate salts. The network RN18C6 was then used to measure in dioxane and toluene by a competition method the equilibrium constant,K, of the reaction A^–M⁺N+CrA^–M⁺Cr+N.A^–M⁺N denotes the ionic solute (ANS, DNS, methyl orange or picrate salt) bound to the network RN18C6 (N) and A^–M⁺Cr is the solute bound to a soluble ligand Cr, where Cr represents a series of 18-crown-6 and 15-crown-5 compounds. Combining theK _N andK values the formation constants,K _L, of the crown ether complexes of the respective salts were obtained in dioxane. The data show a reversal in the complexation strength of the 18-crown-6 compounds in dioxane when sodium picrate is replaced by sodium ANS. The results were rationalized in terms of a synergistic effect exerted by dioxane, with dioxane forming a 1:1 dioxanate with the crown ion pair complex. This effect is especially strong with ANS and with a rigid planar crown ether like dibenzo-18-crown-6. The binding constants,K _N, of NaANS and NaDNS to RN18C6 in dioxane are nearly three times larger than for sodium picrate, and the same holds for the potassium salts. Differences in anion interactions with the network appear to be a plausible cause for the anion dependence ofK _N.     

Luminescence of salts and copolymers containing the (MoII6Cl8)4+ cluster

The photophysical properties (absorption, emission) of the (Bu₄N)₂[(Mo^II ₆Cl₈)L₆] (L = CF₃COO^–, CH₂=CHCOO^–) cluster salts and (Bu₄N)₂[(Mo^II ₆Cl₈)(CF₃COO)_6–n]—polyacrylic acid copolymers were studied. Both the cluster-containing monomers and corresponding copolymers phosphoresce intensely ( 0.2—0.4 ms at 77—300 K).     

Modeling the Proton Transport in Orthoperiodic and Orthotelluric Acids and Their Salts

Orthoperiodic and orthotelluric acids, their salts MIO₆H₄ (M = Li, Rb, Cs) and CsH₅TeO₆, and dimers of the salt · acid type are calculated within density functional theory B3LYP and basis set LanL2DZ complemented by the polarizationd,p-functions. According to calculations, the salt · acid dimerization is energetically favorable for compounds MIO₆H₄ · H₅IO₆ (M = Rb, Cs) and CsIO₆H₄ · H₆TeO₆. The dimerization energy is equal to 138–146 kJ mol^–1. With relatively small activation energies equal to 4 kJ mol^–1 (M = Li) and 11 kJ mol^–1 (M = Rb, Cs), possible is rotation of octahedron IO₆ relative to the M atom in monomers of salt molecules. The proton transfer along an octahedron occurs with activation energies of 63–84 kJ mol^–1. The activation energy for the proton transfer between neighboring octahedrons of the type salt · acid acid · salt equals 8–17 kJ mol^–1. Quantum-chemical calculations nicely conform to x-ray diffraction and electrochemical data.     

Complexes of Some 3d-Metal Salts with N,N-Dimethylhydrazide of 4-Nitrobenzoic Acid

The [M(HL)₂(H₂O)₂]X₂ complexes were synthesized (M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn; X = CH₃COO^–, Cl^–, BF₄ ^–) that incorporate bidentately coordinated molecules of N,N-dimethylhydrazide of 4-nitrobenzoic acid (HL). The latter molecules chelate the metal atom through the carbonyl O atom and the N atom of dimethylamino group. The square-planar complexes of Cu and Ni with deprotonated form of a ligand with composition ML₂ were also isolated. The synthesized complexes were studied by IR, electronic and EPR spectroscopies, and by cyclic voltammetry.     

Field-evaporation mass spectroscopy applied to crown ether complexes with alkali and alkaline-earth metals

Field evaporation from solution has been used to detect crown-ether 15K5 and 18K6 coordination compounds formed with Na⁺, K⁺, Cs⁺, Ba²⁺ and Ca²⁺ in aqueous solution, both hydrated and unhydrated; the Ca²⁺·18K6·(H₂O)_n (n=0, 1, 2,...) compounds have been observed before. 18K6 present in the solution greatly increases the yields of 18K6 compounds with the dissociation products from Ba(NO₃)₂. The detection limits for 15K5 and 18K6 combined with Na⁺, K⁺, and Cs⁺ are approximately the same at 10^–7 g.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 24, No. 2, pp. 239–242, March–April 1988.

Kinetic investigation of sulfur(IV) oxidation by peroxo compounds R-OOH in aqueous solution

Summary Normal and rapid-scan stopped-flow spectrophotometry in the range of 260–300 nm was used to study the kinetics of sulfur(IV) oxidation by peroxo compounds R-OOH (such as hydrogen peroxide, R=H; peroxonitrous acid, R=NO; peroxoacetic acid, R=Ac; peroxomonosulfuric acid, R=SO ₃ ^– ) in the pH range 2–6 in buffered aqueous solution at an ionic strength of 0.5 M (NaClO₄) or 1.0 M (R=NO; Na₂SO₄). The kinetics follow a three-term rate law, rate=(k_H[H]+k_HX[HX]+k_p)[HSO ₃ ^– ][ROOH] ([H] = proton activity; HX = buffer acid = chloroacetic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, H₂PO ₄ ^– ). Ionic strength effects (I=0.05–0.5 M) and anion effects (Cl^–, ClO ₄ ^– , SO ₄ ^2– ) were not observed. In addition to proton-catalysis (k_H[H]) and general acid catalysis (k_HX[HX]), the rate constant k_p characterizes, most probably, a water induced reaction channel with k_p=k_HOH[H₂O]. It is found that k_Hf(R) with k_H(mean)=2.1·10⁷ M^–2 s^–1 at 298 K. The rate constant k_HX ranges from 0.85·10⁶ M^–2 s^–1 (HX=ClCH₂–COOH; R=NO; 293 K) to 0.47·10⁴ M^–2 s^–1 (HX=H₂PO ₄ ^– ; R=H; 298 K) and the rate constant k_p covers the range 0.2·M^–1 s^–1 (R=H) to 4.0·10⁴ M^–1 s^–1 (R=NO). LFE relationships can be established for both k_HX, correlating with the pK_a of HX, and k_p, correlating with the pK_a of the peroxo compounds R-OOH. These relationships imply interesting aspects concerning the mechanism of sulfur(IV) oxidation and the possible role of peroxonitrous acid in atmospheric chemistry. A UV-spectrum of the unstable peroxo acid ON-OOH is presented.     

Novel Antimony Complexes: [Ph4Sb]4 +[Sb4I16]4− · 2Me2C=O and [Ph4Sb]3 +[Sb5I18]3−

The [Ph₄Sb]₄ ⁺[Sb₄I₁₆]^4– · 2Me₂C=O and [Ph₄Sb]₃ ⁺[Sb₅I₁₈]^3– complexes were synthesized by reacting tetraphenylstibonium salts Ph₄SbX (X = I, OSO₂C₆H₄Me-4) with antimony triiodide in acetone. According to X-ray diffraction data, their tetra- and pentanuclear anions [Sb₄I₁₆]^4– and [Sb₅I₁₈]^3– have cyclic and linear structure, respectively.     

Complexation reactions of tetrathiomolybdate ions with binuclear molybdenum and rhenium metal cluster complexes

Conclusions Syntheses are reported for previously unknown hetero- and homometallic polynuclear thio complexes, (n-Bu₄,N)₂ (Mo₆S₂₀), (n-Bu₂₄N)₂)Re₂Mo₄S₁₆), and K₄(Mo₆S₁₆).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 192–194, January, 1987.     

Zwitterionic adducts from addition of imines to the α-carbon atom of pentacarbonyl(vinylidene)chromium and -tungsten complexes

Imines, Im, such as MeN=C(Ph)H (5), 2-methyl 4,5-dihydrothiazole (8a), 2-methyl 4,5-dihydrooxazole (8b) and MeN=C(OMe)Me (13) add to the α-carbon atom of the vinylidene ligand in [(CO)₅Cr=C=CMe₂] (4) to give isolable zwitterionic adducts, [(CO)₅Cr⁻–C(=CMe₂)(Im⁺)]. The reaction of [(CO)₅W=C=CPh₂] (12) with 13 also yields an adduct, [(CO)₅W⁻–C(=CPh₂){NMe=C(OMe)Me}⁺] (15), whereas from the corresponding reaction of 4 with xanthylideneimine, H–N=C(C₆H₄)₂O (16), a carbene complex, [(CO)₅Cr=C(i-Pr)–N=C(C₆H₄)₂O] (17), is obtained. Complex 17 presumably is formed by initial addition of 16 to 4 and subsequently rapid rearrangement. In solution, the adduct [(CO)₅Cr⁻–C(=CMe₂)(NMe=C(Ph)H)⁺] (6) slowly cyclizes to form the 2-azetidin-1-ylidene complex [(CO)₅Cr= Me₂] (7). In contrast, when solution of those zwitterions are heated that are formed by addition of 4,5-dihydrothiazole or 4,5-dihydrooxazole to 4, no cyclization is observed but rather the formation of 4,5-dihydrothiazole and 4,5-dihydrooxazole complexes, respectively. The structures of two adducts, [(CO)₅Cr⁻–C(=CMe₂)(Im⁺)] (Im=MeN=C(Ph)H, 2-methyl 4,5-dihydrothiazole) and of the substitution product [(CO)₅W(2-methyl 4,5-dihydrothiazole)] have been established by X-ray structural analyses.     

1, 2-Dithiolium salts

4-(p-Tolyl)-1,2-dithiolium hydrogen sulfate (I) is not a specific analytical reagent for the majority of anions, and it is not very selective, only in a few cases attaining pD=5 (MoO₄ ^2–, [Hg(CNS)₄]^2–, and [PtCl₆]^2–). All strongly colored anions give colored salts with I. Among the weakly colored anions, the [Fe(CN)₆]^4– anion is worthy of special note, since it forms a deeply colored salt with I. This anion can be detected with I in the presence of Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, CNS^–, ClO₄ ^–, IO₄ ^–, and ReO₄ ^–, which form fairly readily soluble salts with I. Compound I is also a fairly selective reagent for Pd²⁺ in acid solution (pD=5).For part II, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 5, pp. 595–597, May, 1970.
