Pyridyl-substituted [1,3]Dithiolo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,4]dithiine-2-thiones

We have obtained 5-(2-pyridyl)[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-b][1,4]dithiine-2-thione for the first time by cycloaddition of 2-ethynylpyridine to 4,5-dihydro-1,3-dithioltrithione (isotrithionedithiol). We have studied this thione, 5-(2-pyridyl)- and 5-(4-pyridyl)-5,6-dihydro[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-b][1,4]dithiine-2-thiones by mass spectroscopy and also IR, UV, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. We have determined the crystal and molecular structure of 5-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-dihydro[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-b][1,4]dithiine-2-thione.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 429–434, March, 2005.     

Synthesis,Reactions, and Structure of 5-Cyano-4-ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methylazuleno[1,8-b,c]pyran

Bicyclic azulene compounds, ethyl 4-(cyanoethoxycarbonylmethyl)-2-methylazulene-1-carboxylate (2) and ethyl 4-(cyanoethoxycarbonylmethyl)azulene-1-carboxylate (3) were prepared from ethyl 4-chloro-2-methylazulene-1-carboxylate (7) and ethyl 4-ethoxyazulene-1-carboxylate (8), respectively. Oxidation of 2 with DDQ gave the title compound, 5-cyano-4-ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methylazuleno[1,8-b,c]pyran (1) and a minor compound, ethyl 4-cyanomethyl-2-methylazulene-1-carboxylate (9). Oxidation of 3 by DDQ produced only ethyl 4-cyanomethylazulene-1-carboxylate (10), Reaction of 1 with 100% H₃PO₄ at room temperature and 100 °C gave 5-cyano-4-ethoxy-2-methylazuleno[1,8-b,c]pyran (11) and 2-methyl-4,5-dihydrozuleno[1,8-b,c]pyran-4-one (12), respectively. All the new compounds were characterized by IR, UV-vis, NMR and Mass spectra, and the structure of 1 was determined by X-ray crystallography.

Synthesis,structure and physical properties of the one-dimensional chain complex of tetrathiafulvalene carboxylate

A new Co(II) coordination polymer bearing TTF carboxylate group, [{Co₂(trioTTF)₂(H₂O)₆}·5H₂O]_n (1) (trioTTF = 2-(5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-octahydro-[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-h][1,4,13,7,10]trioxadithiacyclopentadecin-2-ylidene)-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate), has been prepared and characterized. In the structure of 1, shorter intermolecular S····S contacts (3.565 Å) are found between the trioTTF groups from neighboring chains. The electric conductivity of 1 is poor due to the bulky crown-ether group, but it exhibits ferromagnetic interaction at low temperature.     

3,4‐[2,2‐Bis(methoxyethoxymethoxymethyl)propylenedithio]‐3′,4′‐(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene: a spiro‐substituted BEDT–TTF analogue

The crystal structure of the title compound [systematic name: 2‐(1,3‐dithiolo[4,5‐b][1,4]dithiin‐2‐ylidene)‐6,6‐bis(methoxyethoxymethoxymethyl)‐1,3‐dithiolo[4,5‐b][1,4]dithiepine], C₂₁H₃₀O₆S₈, a spiro‐substituted BEDT–TTF analogue [BEDT–TTF is bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene], has a strongly bent heterocyclic framework. The seven‐membered ring adopts a pseudo‐chair conformation with notably widened ring bond angles, especially at the methylene C atoms [119.49 (11) and 117.60 (11)°]. The axial side chain adopts an extended conformation, but the equatorial side chain curls back on itself and the O atom nearest the ring system is involved in three short contacts to H atoms (2.45–2.53 Å). The molecules pack in centrosymmetrically related pairs, which are isolated from each other by columns of the polyether side chains. This study emphasizes the ease of distortion of the neutral bis(propylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene ring structure, and how the need to accommodate side chains can easily override the tendency of these donor systems to form stacks in the crystalline state.

Identification of [1,3]dithiolo[4,5-d]dithiazolyl radicals by in situ EPR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry

The synthesis of [1,3]dithiolo[4,5-d]dithiazolium salts from readily available zinc chelate has been developed. Chlorination of 2-oxo and 2-(dicyanomethylene) (2-oxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-diyl) diethanethioates with SO₂Cl₂ followed by condensation with Me₃SiN₃ produced 1,2,3-dithiazolium chlorides. The structure of 5-(dicyanomethylene)[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-d][1,3,2]dithiazol-1-ium tetrafluoroborate was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction, and its chemical bonding pattern as well as charge transfer were studied within the QTAIM framework applied to the results of plane wave DFT periodic calculations. Reduction with triphenylantimony and electrochemical reduction of [1,3]dithiolo[4,5-d]dithiazolium salts by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and microelectrolysis at a controlled potential on a platinum electrode in acetonitrile revealed the formation of [1,3]dithiolo[4,5-d]dithiazolyl radicals, which were characterized by EPR spectroscopy.     

Preparation,structure, and optical properties of chiral sulfoxides and disulfoxide with a trithiole ring

Optically active 4,9‐diethyl[1,4]‐dithiino[5,6‐f]benzo[1,2,3]trithiole 5‐oxide ( 3 ) and 4,9‐diethyl[1,4]dithiino[5,6‐f]benzo[1,2,3]trithiole 5,8‐dioxide ( 4 ) were obtained by the asymmetric oxidation of 6,11‐diethyl[1,4]dithiino[5,6‐h]benzo[1,2,3,4,5]pentathiepin ( 1 ). The reaction was accompanied by desulfurization and ring‐contraction reactions of the pentathiepin ring. Similarly, optically active 4,8‐diethyl[1,3]dithiolo[4,5‐f]benzo[1,2,3]trithiole 5‐oxide ( 7 ) was produced by the analogous asymmetric oxidation of 6,10‐diethyl[1,3]dithiolo[4,5‐h]benzo[1,2,3,4,5]pentathiepin ( 2 ). The specific rotations of 3 , 4 , and 7 were measured in chloroform, and their optical purity was verified by ¹H NMR with a shift reagent [Eu(hfc)₃]. The structures of 4 and 7 were determined by X‐ray crystallography using Cu Kα radiation, and the absolute configuration of the sulfinyl group was examined based on the Flack parameter, which revealed that 4 has an RR configuration, while 7 has an S configuration. The circular dichroism spectra of 3 , 4 , and 7 were measured in chloroform. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Di­iodo­bis(1‐methyl‐1,3‐imidazolium‐2‐thiol­ato‐S)­mercury(II)

The reaction of 1‐methyl‐1,3‐imidazole‐2‐thione (meimtH) with mercury(II) iodide in methanol in a 2:1 molar ratio resulted in the formation of single crystals of the title compound, [HgI₂(C₄H₆N₂S)₂]. The Hg atom is coordinated by two I [2.7809 (9) and 2.7999 (8) Å] and two thione S atoms [2.520 (3) and 2.576 (3) Å] with irregular tetrahedral coordination geometry. The NH groups of the imidazole ring take part in intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with I atoms [N?I 3.596 (8) and 3.611 (9) Å, respectively] joining mol­ecules into infinite chains parallel to the z axis.     

Dinuclear rhenium(I) carbonyl complexes based on π-conjugated polypyridyl ligands with tetrathiafulvalenes: Syntheses, crystal structures, properties and DFT calculations

A series of tetrathiafulvalene-substituted 2,3-di(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline (dpq) ligands, 2-(4,5-bis(methylthio)-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-6,7-di(pyridin-2-yl)- [1,3]dithiolo[4,5-g]quinoxaline (L₁), dimethyl-2-(6,7-di(pyridin-2-yl)-[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-g]quinoxalin-2-ylidene)-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate (L₂), and 2-(5,6-dihydro-[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-b] [1,4]dithiin-2-ylidene)-6,7-di(pyridin-2-yl)-[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-g]quinoxaline (L₃), have been prepared. Reactions of these ligands with Re(CO)₅Cl afford the corresponding dinuclear rhenium(I) carbonyl complexes, Re₂(L)(CO)₆Cl₂ (L = L₁, 5a; L = L₂, 5b; L = L₃, 5c). All new compounds are fully characterized by ¹H NMR, IR and mass spectroscopies. The crystal structures of 5a and 5b have been studied. Optimized conformations and molecular orbital diagrams of 5a−5c have been calculated with density functional theory (DFT). The spin-allowed singlet−singlet electronic transitions of all complexes have been calculated with time-dependent DFT (TDDFT), and the UV-Vis−NIR spectra are discussed based on the theoretical calculations.     

Targeting π‐Conjugated Multiple Donor–Acceptor Motifs Exemplified by Tetrathiafulvalene‐Linked Quinoxalines and Tetrabenz[bc,ef,hi,uv]ovalenes: Synthesis,Spectroscopic, Electrochemical,and Theoretical Characterization

An efficient synthetic approach to a symmetrically functionalized tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivative with two diamine moieties, 2‐[5,6‐diamino‐4,7‐bis(4‐pentylphenoxy)‐1,3‐benzodithiol‐2‐ylidene]‐4,7‐bis(4‐pentylphenoxy)‐1,3‐benzodithiole‐5,6‐diamine ( 2 ), is reported. The subsequent Schiff‐base reactions of 2 afford large π‐conjugated multiple donor–acceptor (D–A) arrays, for example, the triad 2‐[4,9‐bis(4‐pentylphenoxy)‐1,3‐dithiolo[4,5‐g]quinoxalin‐2‐ylidene]‐4,9‐bis(4‐pentylphenoxy)‐1,3‐dithiolo[4,5‐g]quinoxaline ( 8 ) and the corresponding tetrabenz[bc,ef,hi,uv]ovalene‐fused pentad 1 , in good yields and high purity. The novel redox‐active nanographene 1 is so far the largest known TTF‐functionalized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with a well‐resolved ¹H NMR spectrum. The electrochemically highly amphoteric pentad 1 and triad 8 exhibit various electronically excited charge‐transfer states in different oxidation states, thus leading to intense optical intramolecular charge‐transfer (ICT) absorbances over a wide spectral range. The chemical and electrochemical oxidations of 1 result in an unprecedented TTF^?+ radical cation dimerization, thereby leading to the formation of [ 1 ^?+]₂ at room temperature in solution due to the stabilizing effect, which arises from strong π–π interactions. Moreover, ICT fluorescence is observed with large solvent‐dependent Stokes shifts and quantum efficiencies of 0.05 for 1 and 0.035 for 8 in dichloromethane.

Luminescent Study on Nd3+ Complexes Containing Carboxylate‐Dithiolene and Alkoxide‐Dithiolene Ligands

Reaction of ligand L H₂ (4,5‐bis[carboxymethylthio]‐1,3‐dithiol‐2‐thione) with neodymium silyl‐amide (Nd[N(TMS)₂]₃; TMS= ‐SiMe₃), in a ratio 2:1, yields a neodymium‐dithiolene‐carboxylato complex ( 1 ) (Nd( L H) L ). Similarly, reaction of 2 equivalents of L′ H₂ (4,5‐bis[2′‐hydroxyethyl)thio]‐1,3‐dithiol‐2‐thione) and one equivalent of neodymium silyl‐amide (Nd[N(TMS)₂]₃) allowed the isolation of complex 2 , with a ligand:metal ratio of 3:2. ATR‐IR spectrum of 1 displays a broad band characteristic of an OH group showing that one carboxylate group remains protonated. Emission spectrum of complex 1 under excitation in the visible region (at 360 nm i.e. on the ligand) displayed typical emission bands of the Nd³⁺, showing that energy transfer from the ligand to the lanthanide was achieved (i.e. “antenna effect”). No significant quenching from the remaining –OH group was detected. In the case of complex 2 , the main emission bands characteristic of the Nd³⁺ ion have been observed, by excitation at 495 nm.
