Infrared Study of the Interaction of Tetramethylthiourea and Dimethylthioformamide with Phenol Derivatives

Abstract

The hydrogen bonded complexes between hydroxylic bonds and oxygen or nitrogen bases have been extensively studied by infrared spectrometry. However, meager experimental results are available for sulfur participation in hydrogen bond formation. There seems little doubt that in thioamides - hydroxylic complexes, the donor site for hydrogen bonding is sulfur, particularly in view of the blue shift of the n → π? transition of the thiocarbonyl group in proton donor solvents ¹. This paper reports on a study of the equilibrium constants (K) and on the frequency shifts of the 1 v _OH stretching vibration of hydrogen bonded complexes between tetramethylthiourea (TMTU) or dimethyltnioformamide (DMTF) and some phenol derivatives.     

NMR studies on hydrogen bonding and proton transfer in Mannich bases

A review of studies on the ortho Mannich bases containing various substituents in the phenyl ring on the basis of¹H,¹³C and¹⁵N nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra in various solvents over the temperature range 110–298 K is presented. Some new results are also included. The data gathered so far show that there is some critical (inversion) range of ΔpK _a (= pK _a(NH⁺) − pK _a(OH)) in which the proton transfer equilibrium appears. This inversion range is well reflected in the behaviour of secondary deuterium isotope effect in¹³C NMR spectra. A strong temperature effect on the strength of hydrogen bonding should be emphasized. The¹H chemical shift for trichloroderivative increases from 13.5 at room temperature up to 17 ppm at 130 K when the proton is equally shared between the bridging atoms (¹ J(¹H,¹⁵N) = 30–40 Hz). The potential for the proton motion in such bridges is discussed taking into account the behaviour in the ultraviolet and infrared spectra. The role of dimerization in proton transfer equilibria is shown. In addition the rotation of OH groups involved in hydrogen bond formation and nitrogen pyramidal inversion was studied by the¹H dynamical NMR spectra.     

Infrared Study of the Molecular Complexes of Parafluoro-Phenol with Alkylbenzenes in n-Hexane

Abstract

The specific interaction between parafluorophenol and alkylbenzenes in n-hexane has been studied using infrared spectrometry. The absorption spectra of different donor-acceptor couples exhibit bands in the region 3600–3500 cm^?1 which are characteristic for the formation of hydrogen bonded complexes OH…eπ. The observed frequency shifts are between 67 and 92 cm^?1, and the values of the complexation constant range from 0.41 to 1.51 dm³ mol^?1. The values of the free enthalpy of interaction -ΔG are situated between -2.22 and+1.05 kJ.mol^?1, while the affinity ratio varies from 3.08 to57.98.

The established relations between the strength of the complexes and the frequency shift, or. The calculated correlation coefficients and affinity ratios allow to discuss both the electrordonating effects and the steric effects of the substituents implanted on the aromatic ring of the proton acceptor.     

Infrared Study of the Hydrogen Bond Complexes Between N-Methylsuccinimide and Phenols

Abstract

The hydrogen bonded complexes between N-methylsuccinimide and phenols (pKa = 10.2 → 6) are investigated by infrared spectrometry. The thermodynamic parameters for the 1–1 complexes are determined in carbon tetrachloride-. The formation constants at 298 K range from 15 to 150 dm³ mol^?1, the enthalpies of complex formation from - 20 to - 30 kJ mol^?1, the changes of entropy from - 22 to - 40 J K^?1 mol^?1 and the frequency shifts of the v(OH) stretching vibration from 170 to 340 cm^?1. The complexes are weaker than those involving the monocarbonyl bases. The decrease of the force constant of the bonded carbonyl group ranges from 0.48 to 0.65 N cm^?1. The force constant of the free C=O group slightly increases upon complex formation, in agreement with the cooperatively theory.     

Hydrogen incorporation behaviour and radiation damage in proton bombarded InP single crystals

Abstract

In proton bombarded InP single crystals the incorporation behaviour of different hydrogen isotopes is studied in relation to implantation induced radiation defects. Investigations of the fluence dependence (D = 10¹⁶-10¹⁸ cm^?2), of the depth profile and of the annealing behaviour (T _an = 300–1000 K) of hydrogen incorporation and of damage density indicate that only a small fraction of the implanted hydrogen is chemically bonded to host lattice atoms. These bonded hydrogen atoms saturate dangling bonds at defect sites.     

New proton conducting materials for technical applications: what can we learn from solid state NMR studies?

Many novel proton conducting materials are based on complex hydrogen bonding networks of amphoteric hydrogen bonded moieties. Solid state NMR provides unique methods to study the properties of such network and specific proton conduction mechanisms in detail. In particular 1H solid state NMR techniques under fast magic angle spinning are powerful tools in this area. Site specific studies of the dynamic behavior via variable temperature 1H MAS measurements provide insight in the thermodynamics of the hydrogen bonding as well as activation energies for the proton transfer between the amphoteric sites. On macroscopic length scales, pulsed field gradient NMR experiments are able to determine the proton mobility and the contribution of different conduction mechanisms. In this article, aspects of recent solid state NMR studies in the field are reviewed and typical experimental methods as well as their possible outcome are discussed.     

“Charge transfer Complexes of Indolyldiene Aniline derivatives with p-benzoquinone derivatives”

Abstract

Charge transfer (CT) complexes of p-benzoquinone derivatives with Indolyldiene aniline derivatives have been prepared and investigated by Elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The spectral changes revealed that acidic acceptors form complexes with π - π? electronic interaction and proton transfer while non-acidic acceptors yield complexes having π - π transition only. The formation of 1:2 (D:A) complexes is also ascertained. The ionization potential and electron affinity are determined from the electronic absorption spectra for both the donors and acceptors respectivily.     

Infrared Study (3700 - 3000 cm−1) of Hydrogen Bonds Involving Triphenyl Derivatives of Group V Elements

The hydrogen bonded complexes between hydroxylic derivatives and nitrogen bases have been extensively studied by infrared spectrometry but very few experimental results are available for bases involving other elements of group V. Some thermodynamic or spectroscopic data have however been reported for the interaction between alcohol derivatives or phenol and trialkyl- or triphenylphosphine derivatives^1–5 but the electron donor ability of the other compounds is not clearly established especially in the case of phenyl derivatives who have n-and π-electron-donor centers. In this case, the properties of the hydrogen bond can be investigated as a useful tool for the evaluation of the donor properties of the heteroatom and the nature of his interaction with the π ring system⁶. In this work, we have determined the thermodynamic constants and the frequency shifts of the ν_OH stretching vibration of hydrogen bonded complexes involving phenol derivatives and triphenylarsine. The influence of the acidity of the phenol molecules on the properties of the complexes is discussed. Some additional data are reported for complexes involving Ph₃X derivatives (X = N,P,Sb) and discussed as a function of the ionization potential of the heteroatom and the π-ring electrons.     

Ground and Singlet Excited State Pyridinic Protonation of N9-Methylbetacarboline in Water-N,N-Dimethylformamide Mixtures

The ground and the singlet excited state pyridinic protonation of 9-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole, MBC, in water-N,N-dimethylformamide mixtures has been studied by absorption, steady state and time resolved fluorescence measurements. These proton transfer reactions elapse by a stepwise mechanism modulated by different hydrogen bonded adducts and exciplexes formed by water molecules and the pyridinic nitrogen atom of the MBC. Based in the present and previous studies, a general mechanistic Scheme for the ground and the singlet excited state MBC pyridinic protonation has been proposed. Accordingly, in the ground state, upon increasing the water proportion of the water-N,N-dimethylformamide mixtures, a hydrogen bonded complex, HBC, its hydrogen bonded proton transfer complex, PTC, a pre-cationic complex, PC, and the cation, C, are progressively formed. In the excited state, MBC, HBC and PC behave as independent fluorophores. Excited state cations, C*, are mainly formed by direct excitation of the ground state cations and, in minor proportion, by the excited state reaction of the PTC^* through the CL^* exciplex.     

Infrared Study of the Interaction of Pentachlorophenol with Secondary Amines

In connection with the possibility of spectroscopic study of equilibria, caused by the proton transfer in hydrogen bond^I, of great interest are the amine-phenol systems. Increasing of the protonodonating power of the OH phenol group necessary for the proton transfer to occur could be obtained by introducing electronegative substituents into the ring. According to^2,3 the protonodonating power in the series of phenol chloroderivatives widely ranges, pentachlorophenol (PCP) being the most active donor of a proton in the series.     

Design, synthesis and characterization of a linear hydrogen bonded homologous series

A linear hydrogen bonded liquid crystalline homologous series has been synthesized and characterized. Hydrogen bond is formed between p-n-dodecyloxy benzoic acid and various p-n-alkyl benzoic acids whose alkyl chain vary from octyl to ethyl. Synthesized complexes are characterized by FTIR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR studies for inferring the formation of hydrogen bonds. Polarizing Optical Microscopy (POM) and DSC studies reveal various mesophases and their corresponding transition temperatures along with respective enthalpy values. All the seven synthesized complexes exhibit rich liquid crystalline mesomorphism. A new phase namely smectic X has been observed in five of the complexes with a narrow thermal range. This phase has been characterized by optical textural, DSC, tilt angle and helicoidal pitch studies. Smectic X is sandwiched between traditional smectic C and re-entrant smectic C (designated as C_R) phases. Homeotropic transition in nematic phase is observed in all the mesogens and thus these materials can be used as thermally controlled optical shutters. Tilt angle in smectic C, smectic X and smectic C_R phases have been experimentally elucidated for all the mesogens.     

Vibrational Spectra of Hydrogen Bonded Complexes Between Acetophenone and Some Phenol Derivatives

The hydrogen bonded complexes between hydroxylic derivatives and carbonyl bases have been extensively studied by infrared spectroscopy but meager Raman spectroscopic results are available for such complexes. This work reports on a study of the Raman intensity of the v_C[dbnd]0 stretching vibration of hydrogen bonded complexes formed between acetophenone and some phenol derivatives. The formation constants of these complexes are calculated from infrared spectroscopy.     

Limitations of the Quantification of Organic Carbon in Sediment from C–H Stretching Vibrations in DRIFT Spectra

Abstract

The limitations of quantifying organic carbon (OC) or various organic substances in sediment from the integration of infrared C–H stretching bands using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectra are pointed out, both from theoretical arguments and by presenting experimental data. Such determinations are inaccurate and imprecise because (i) the band at 2930 cm^?1 is not exclusively due to CH₂ groups; (ii) there is a spectral interference from CO₃ ^2? absorption; and (iii) the proportion of CH₂ groups in organic matter varies for different sediments. The measurement of aliphatic C–H stretching band areas only provides an approximate measurement of aliphatic carbon bonded to hydrogen, which turns out to be a factor of about 3 to 3.5 times smaller than the OC content for Hong Kong marine sediments, depending on their nature and origin.     

STUDIES ON SOME THIAZOLYLAZO COMPOUNDS AND THEIR COBALT,NICKEL, AND COPPER COMPLEXES

ABSTRACT

The thiazolylazo compounds and their Co^(II), Ni^(II) and Cu^(II) complexes of barbituric acid, uracil, thiouracil, citrazinic acid, chromotropic acid, gallic acid, pyrogallol and salicylic acid were prepared and characterized by ¹H NMR, IR and the effect of pH on the electronic absorption spectra. The mode of ionization, the electronic transitions and the dissociation constants were discussed. The stoichiometries of the complexes were of 1:1, 2:1 and 3:2 (M:L). The copper complexes are of isotropic ESR spectra (except that of gallic acid which showed a complicated one) and are of magnetically diluted behaviour with orbital contribution. Detailed DTA data were obtained and discussed.     

Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: Significant Barriers to Rotation About N-N Bonds in 3-Acylaminoquinazolin-4(3H)-One Derivatives

Abstract

The proton NMR spectra of several 3-acylaminoquinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives have been studied as a function of temperature. The changes, which were found to occur in the spectra at high temperatures, are discussed in terms of hindered rotation about the nitrogen-nitrogen bond. The free energies of activation for the rate-determining stereochemical process were calculated to be as high as (14.7～20.6 Kcal mol^?1) for hydrazine derivatives.     

1H, 13C and 19F NMR Studies of the Diels-Alder Adduct of p-Fluoranil with Phencyclone. II. Hindered Phenyl Rotations and Anisotropic Effects in a Model Compound for Drugs

Abstract

The Diels-Alder adduct of phencyclone, compound 1, with p-fluoranil, compound 3, has been prepared in refluxing toluene. The adduct, compound 2, has been examined by ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy at 300, 75 and 282 MHz, respectively. At ambient temperature, the unsubstituted bridgehead phenyl groups in adduct 2 are found to exhibit hindered rotation, resulting in slow exchange limit (SEL) ¹H NMR spectra. Full aryl proton assignments are made based on 1D and 2D (COSY45) NMR. The ¹⁹F NMR (proton coupled) reveals one of the two ¹⁹F signals to be a triplet. This resonance collapses to a singlet in the proton decoupled ¹⁹F spectrum, implying an unexpected long range ¹H-¹⁹F coupling. For the ¹³C NMR spectrum, tentative assignments are presented. Data for compound 2 as a model compound for drugs are discussed in terms of the hindered aryl rotation and evidence of magnetic anisotrppic effects.     

Origin Band Shifts Upon Deuteration in the 280 nm Absorption System of Benzimidazole

Abstract

Five deuterated derivatives of benzimidazole have been prepared and their sharp 280 nm vapour phase electronic absorption spectra recorded. When hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon are substituted, the origin band shifts to higher energies by 29 cm^?1 per D atom, a value close to that found in benzene and some monosubstituted benzenes. When the hydrogen bonded to nitrogen is substituted, a much smaller shift is observed.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic, thermal and electrical conductivity studies of three charge transfer complexes formed between 1,3-di[(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylideneamino]-2-propanol Schiff base and different acceptors

Charge-transfer complexes (CTC) resulting from interactions of 1,3-di[(E)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl) methylideneamino]-2-propanol Schiff base with some acceptors such as iodine (I₂), bromine (Br2), and picric acid (PiA) have been isolated in the solid state in a chloroform solvent at room temperature. Based on elemental analysis, UV-Vis, infrared, and ¹H NMR spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) of the solid CTC, [(Schiff)(I₂)] (1), [(Schiff)(Br₂)] complexes with a ratio of 1:1 and [(Schiff)(PiA)₃] complexes with 1:3 have been prepared. In the picric acid complex, infrared and ¹H NMR spectroscopic data indicate that the charge-transfer interaction is associated with a hydrogen bonding, whereas the iodine and bromine complexes were interpreted in terms of the formation of dative ion pairs [Schiff⁺, I₂^∙−] and [Schiff⁺, Br₂^∙−], respectively. Kinetic parameters were obtained for each stage of thermal degradation of the CT complexes using Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger methods. DC electrical properties as a function of temperature of these charge transfer complexes have been studied.
