Theoretical study of the stability and electronic structure of Al(BH4)n=1→4 and Al(BF4)n=1→4 and their hyperhalogen behavior

Using density functional theory (DFT), we have systematically calculated the equilibrium geometries, electronic structure, and electron detachment energies of Al(BH(4))(n=1→4) and Al(BF(4))(n=1→4) at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) level of theory. The electron affinities of Al(BH(4))(n) not only exhibit odd-even alternation, just as seen in (BH(4))(n), but also, for n = 3 and 4, show a remarkable behavior: whereas the electron affinities of BH(3) and BH(4) are, respectively, 0.06 and 3.17 eV, those of Al(BH(4))(3) and Al(BH(4))(4) are 0.71 and 5.56 eV. Results where H is replaced by F are also very different. The electron affinities of BF(3) and BF(4) are, respectively, -0.44 and +6.86 eV, and those of Al(BF(4))(3) and Al(BF(4))(4) are 1.82 and 8.86 eV. The results demonstrate not only marked difference when H is replaced by F but also substantially enhanced electron affinities by almost 2 eV when BH(4) and BF(4) units are allowed decorate a metal atom, confirming the recently observed hyperhalogen behavior of superhalogen building blocks.     

Gas chromatographic profiling of phenolic acids in urine of patients with cirrhosis of the liver

Phenolic acids are analysed within the profile of the organic acids in urine of patients with cirrhosis. For the following constituents an increased urinary excretion is observed: 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, 4-hydroxyphenyllactic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxyhippuric acid, vanillic acid, homovanillic acid, 4-hydroxymandelic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylpropionic acid and p-cresol. The phenols are metabolites of tyrosine and are produced in the liver, in extrahepatic tissues and by intestinal microorganisms. They are suggested as biochemical control parameters for the metabolizing function of the liver, for the effect of therapy and for the existence of portal-systemic venous collaterals.

DABCO mediated one pot synthesis of 2-(3-benzyl-2, 6-dioxo-3, 6-dihydropyrimidin-1[2H]-yl)-N-(4-(1, 3-dioxo-1H-benzo [de]isoquinolin-2[3H]-yl) aryl) acetamides as antimicrobial agents

We report herein DABCO mediated one pot synthesis of 2-(3-benzyl-2, 6-dioxo-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1[2H]-yl)-N-(4-(1,3-dioxo-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2[3H]-yl) aryl) acetamides ( 4a-j ). The silent features of this new one pot synthesis include the shorter reaction time, high yields, simple workup, and simultaneous formation of N-Amide and N-benzyl bonds in the one pot. The newly synthesized compounds ( 4a-j ) were characterized by different spectral techniques such as IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, HRMS. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities. The anti-bacterial activities results reveal that the compounds 4a , 4g , 4i , and 4j are most active against S. aureus. In the case of B. subtilis the compounds 4a , 4i , and 4j are found to be most active. The compounds 4c , 4e , 4i , and 4j are most active against E. coli. In the case of P. aeruginosa 4a , 4i & 4j are found to be more active. On the other hand, the anti-fungal activity result shows that the compounds 4d , 4f , 4i , and 4j are more active against A. niger. The compounds 4a , 4d , 4i , and 4j are found to be more active against C. albicans.

Application of a universal force field to mixed Fe/Mo-S/Se cubane and heterocubane clusters. 2. Substitution of iron by molybdenum in Fe4(S/Se)4 clusters with terminal halide and thiolate ligands

Infrared and Raman spectra of Fe(4)(S/Se)(4) clusters with terminal halide ligands and MoFe(3)S(4) clusters with terminal thiolate and halide ligands are presented and interpreted on the basis of the force fields determined in the accompanying paper. The Raman spectra of halide coordinated Fe(4)(S/Se)(4) clusters are characterized by the fact that vibrations of the terminal ligands appear with little or vanishing intensity. Infrared and Raman spectra of MoFe(3)S(4) clusters with terminal thiolates are correlated to those of corresponding Fe(4)S(4) systems, which were investigated in part 1 of this study and interpreted with normal coordinate analysis. Band assignments are checked by employing MoFeS(4) clusters with terminal halide ligands. Spectra of these systems are in turn compared to those of their Fe(4)S(4) counterparts, i.e., Fe-S cubane clusters with chloro, bromo, and iodo ligands. A consistent interpretation of all spectra is presented. General implications of these results are discussed.     

Three-dimensional metal phosphonodicarboxylates with GIS-zeolite topology: syntheses, structures and magnetic studies

Compounds [M(2)(4-pi)(H(2)O)(4)]·1.5H(2)O [M(II) = Mn(1), Co(2), Ni(3)] and a heterometallic analogue [Co(1.14)Ni(0.86)(4-pi)(H(2)O)(4)]·1.5H(2)O (4) have been synthesized utilizing a rigid 4-phosphonoisophthalic acid (4-piH(4)). Compounds 1-4 are isostructural, confirmed by their powder XRD measurements. Single crystal structural determinations of 1 and 2 reveal that these compounds display a novel pillared layered open framework structure with zeolite gismondine (GIS) topology. Within the layer, edge-sharing {MO(6)} octahedra are found, which are connected by carboxylate and phosphonate groups along the c- and b-axis, respectively. Dominant antiferromagnetic interactions are propagated between the magnetic centers in 1, 2 and 4. While in 3, ferromagnetic exchange couplings are observed.

Experimental and computational studies of alkali-metal coinage-metal clusters

Coinage and alkali metal mixed clusters, M4Na- (M = Cu, Au) have been investigated experimentally using photoelectron spectroscopy and computationally at correlated ab initio levels. The related Cu4Li-, Ag4Li-, Ag4Na-, and Au4Li- clusters as well as the neutral Cu4Li2 and Cu4Na2 clusters have also been studied computationally. The calculations show that the two lowest isomers of the negatively charged clusters include a pyramidal C4v structure and a planar C2v species. For Cu4Li- and Cu4Na-, the C4v structure is calculated at correlated ab initio level to be 30.9 and 16.9 kJ/mol below the planar C2v isomer, whereas the planar isomers of Au4Li- and Au4Na- are found to be 29.7 and 49.4 kJ/mol below the pyramidal ones. For Ag4Li- and Ag4Na-, the pyramidal isomers are the lowest ones. Comparison of the calculated and measured photoelectron spectra of Cu4Na- and Au4Na- shows that the pyramidal Cu4Na- cluster of C4v symmetry and the planar Au4Na- of C2v symmetry are detected experimentally. Calculations of the magnetically induced current density in Cu4Li- and Cu4Li2 using the Gauge-Including Magnetically Induced Current (GIMIC) method show that strong ring currents are sustained mainly by the highest-occupied molecular orbital primarily derived from the Cu 4s. The GIMIC calculations thus show that the Cu4(2-) ring is -aromatic and that the d orbitals do not play any significant role for the electron delocalization effects. The present study does not support the notion that the square-planar Cu4(2-) is the first example of d-orbital aromatic molecules.     

A systematic preparation of new contracted Gaussian- type orbital sets. VII. MINI-3, MINI-4, MIDI-3, and MIDI-4 sets for transition metal atoms

Two minimal contracted Gaussian-type orbital (CGTO ) sets are developed for the transition metal atoms. The expansion terms for the first set, MINI -3, are 4, 3, 3, and 3 for s-type CGTO s and others are all three. The abbreviation would be (4333/33/3) where the slash divides symmetry. The expansion terms for the other set, MINI -4, is (4333/43/4). The split-type basis sets, MIDI -3 and MIDI -4, are derived directly from MINI -3 and MINI -4, MINI -3 and MIDI -3 provide the outer-shell orbital energies which are far better than those by single-zeta (SZ ) STO s. MINI -4 and MIDI -4 provide the outer-shell orbital energies which are almost as good as those by double-zeta (DZ ) STO s. The total energies given by the present sets are better than those of SZ except for MINI -3 for Sc and Ti: the energies by MINI -4 and MIDI -4 are only 0.8–1.7 a.u. higher than DZ . The basis sets were tested on the Cu₂ molecule, where a large basis set was also used.     

Antiferromagnetic or canted antiferromagnetic orderings of Fe(III) d spins of FeX4- ions in BEDT-TTFVO(S).FeX4 (X = Cl, Br) [BEDT-TTFVO(S) = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalenoquinone(-thioquinone)-1,3-dithiolemethide

By the reaction of new donor molecules, bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalenoquinone(-thioquinone)-1,3-dithiolemethides [BEDT-TTFVO (1) and BEDT-TTFVS (2)] with FeX3 (X = Cl, Br) in CS2/CH3CN, 1:1 salts of 1 or 2 with an FeX4- ion (1.FeX4 and 2.FeX4) were obtained as black needle crystals. Their crystal structures are very similar to each other, in which the donor molecules are strongly dimerized and the dimers construct a one-dimensional uniform chain along the a axis, while the FeX4- ions are located at an open space surrounded by the neighboring donor molecules and also construct a one-dimensional uniform chain along the a axis. There are close contacts between the donor molecules and the FeX4- ions and significant differences in the contact distances among the four salts. All of the salts are semiconductors with room-temperature electrical conductivities of 10-4-10-2 S cm-1. The Fe(III) d spins of the FeX4- ions are subject to dominant ferromagnetic interaction through the participation of one of the singlet pi spins to form a short-range ferromagnetic d-spin chain. Such neighboring chains interact antiferromagnetically with each other through the singlet pi spins and are ordered at 1.0, 2.4, and 0.8 K for 1.FeCl4, 1.FeBr4, and 2.FeCl4, respectively. On the other hand, the antiferromagnetic ordering occurred with some canted angle at 1.9 K to leave a small magnetization for 2.FeBr4.     

Theoretical study on tetranuclear boron clusters: B4X4 (X = H, F, Cl, Br, I)

The molecular orbitals for B4H4, B4F4, B4Cl4, B4Br4 and B4I4 have been calculated by using all-electron or effective core potential ab initio method at the self-consistent field level using basis sets with diffuse and polarization functions. The boron-boron and boron-halide (-hydrogen) distances of these cage compounds are optimized with three kinds of basis sets constrained to a tetrahedral symmetry. According to the localization scheme of Boys, four three-centered two-electron (3c2e) B-B-B bonds localized on each of the faces of the B4 tetrahedron are derived for B4X4 clusters. The HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, atomization energies and Mulliken overlap populations of these compounds indicate that the stabilities of the clusters decrease in the sequence of B4F4 > B4Cl4, B4H4 > B4Br4 > B4I4.

Stabilization of fully reduced iron-sulfur clusters by carbene ligation: the [FenSn]0 oxidation levels (n = 4, 8)

The all-ferrous [Fe4S4](0) state has been demonstrated in the fully reduced Fe protein of the Azotobacter vinelandii nitrogenase complex. We seek synthetic analogues of this state more tractable than the recently prepared but highly unstable cluster [Fe4S4(CN)4](4-) (Scott, Berlinguette, Holm, and Zhou, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2005, 102, 9741). The N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene (Pr(i)2NHCMe2) has been found to stabilize the fully reduced clusters [Fe8S8(Pr(i)2NHCMe2)6] (4) and [Fe4S4(Pr(i)2NHCMe2)4] (5), which are prepared by cluster assembly or phosphine substitution of FenSn (n = 8, 16) clusters. Cluster 4 is also obtained by reaction of the carbene with all-ferrous [Fe7S6(PEt3)5Cl2] (3) and cluster 5 by carbene cleavage of 4. Detailed structures of 3 (monocapped prismatic), 4, and 5 are described; the latter two are the first iron-sulfur clusters with Fe-C sigma bonds. Cluster 4 possesses the [Fe8(mu3-S) 6(mu4-S)2] edge-bridged double cubane structure and 5 the cubane-type [Fe4(mu3-S)4] stereochemistry. The all-ferrous formulations of the clusters are confirmed by X-ray structure parameters and (57)Fe isomer shifts. Both clusters are stable under conventional aprotic anaerobic conditions, enabling further study of reactivity. The collective properties of 5 indicate that it is a meaningful synthetic analogue of the core of the fully reduced protein-bound cluster.     

Lyotropic mesomorphism in benzopurpurin 4B-solvent system

The results of studying chromonic mesomorphism in benzopurpurin 4B (BP-4B)-water, BP-4B-water-electrolyte (NaCl or KCl), and BP-4B-water-N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) or formamide (FA) systems are presented. Mesophases are identified using polarization-optical microscopy and the responses of samples to disturbances induced by magnetic field and mechanical deformation. It is shown that, in water and aqueous electrolyte solutions, at BP-4B concentrations of below 0.5 and 1.5 wt %, respectively, an instable nematic mesophase is formed, which is rapidly transformed into an anisotropic gel. In this case, the formation of the nematic mesophase is preceded by the appearance of tactoids. At some concentrations of organic solvents, nematic mesophases, which are stable for a time period of longer than 2 months, are formed in BP-4B-water-DMF (BP-4B concentrations of 1.0 and 1.5 wt %) and BP-4B-water-FA (BP-4B concentration of 1.0 wt %) systems.     

The preparation and properties of low molar mass liquid crystals possessing lateral alkyl chains

The first twelve members of three new mesogenic homologous series have been characterized, each of which are composed of molecules possessing lateral alkyl chains. The n-alkyl 2,5-bis-(4-n-hexyloxy-benzoyloxy)-benzoates are purely nematic whereas both nematic and smectic behaviour is observed for the 4-cyano-4'-biphenylyl 3'-n-alkyloxybenzoates and the 4-cyano-4'-biphenylyl 3',4'-n-alkyloxybenzoates. The transitional properties of these series are similar to those of the analogous conventional mesogens and hence, can be rationalized without making any special assumptions concerning the conformational distribution of the lateral alkyl chain.
