Thermochemical properties of trialkylarsenites

The heats of the reaction of sodium with ethyl and methyl alcohol were determined by calorimetry. The difference in the standard heats of the formation of triethylarsenite and arsenic trichloride was obtained by calorimetration of the reaction of arsenic trichloride with sodium ethylate, the value of which was −382.42 ± 3.60 kJ/mol. The standard enthalpies of formation were determined from a critical analysis of all data on thermochemistry of trialkylarsenites for the following compounds: triethylarsenite Δ_f H ₂₉₈^ℴ [(C₂H₅O)₃As(liquid)] = (−704.38 ± 3.85) kJ/mol; trimethylarsenite Δ_f H ₂₉₈^ℴ [(CH₃O)₃As(liquid)] = (−599.36 ± 1.88) kJ/mol. The values of standard enthalpies of formation were not adjusted for the following substances in liquid state: arsenic trichloride (−321.96 ± 3.85 kJ/mol), tris-(diethylamido)arsenic(III) As(NEt₂)₃(liquid) (−129.81 ± 4.41 kJ/mol), tri-n-propylarsenite (−720.61 ± 4.49 kJ/mol), triisopropylarsenite (−756.11 ± 4.65 kJ/mol), tri-n-butylarsenite (−775.11 ± 4.53 kJ/mol), and triisobutylarsenite (−809.71 ± 4.59 kJ/mol). The use of sodium alcoxide solutions for the calorimetration of halogen anhydrides of various acids was demonstrated.

The complexes of α-alanine-salicylal Schiff base of magnesium (α-ASSM), β-alanine-salicylal Schiff base of magnesium (β-ASSM) and taurine-salicylal Schiff base of magnesium (TSSM) were synthesized. The formulae of the complexes are Mg[OC₆H₄CHNCH(CH₃)COO]·2H₂O, Mg[OC₆H₄CHNCH₂CH₂COO]·2H₂O and Mg[OC₆H₄CHNCH₂CH₂SO₃]·2H₂O. The crystal structure belongs to orthorhombic system with the lattice parameters: a=1.6954 nm, b=2.0873 nm and c=2.3037 nm for the β-ASSM, to orthorhombic system with the lattice parameters: a=1.5586 nm, b=1.8510 nm and c=2.6240 nm for the β-ASSM, to monoclinic system with the lattice parameters: a=1.3232 nm, b=1.4960 nm, c=2.1543 nm and β=98.04° for the TSSM, respectively. The results of the thermal decomposition processes and infrared spectra of the complexes show that the complexes may possess different coordination structures.

Synthesis, crystal structure and characterization of a 2-D network organic-inorganic hybrid polymer with [α-BW12O40]5? as building blocks

A two-dimensional network compound [Ce(DMF)₄(H₂O)][α-BW₁₂O₄₀]·H₂O·(HDMA)₂ (HDMA = protoned dimethylamine, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) was synthesized from α-H₅BW₁₂O₄₀·nH₂O, Ce(NO₃)₃·6H₂O and DMF and characterized by IR, UV spectra and TG-DTA. The result of the X-ray single crystal diffraction indicates that the crystal is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, with unit cell dimensional: a = 1.1983(3), b = 2.4216(5), c = 1.9517(4) nm, β = 92.91(3)°, Z = 4, R ₁ = 0.07710, wR ₂ = 0.1416. Structural analysis indicates that every [Ce(DMF)₄(H₂O)]³⁺ building block is surrounded by three adjacent [α-BW₁₂O₄₀]⁵⁻ polyanions, meanwhile, every [α-BW₁₂O₄₀]⁵⁻ polyanion interconnects with three neighboring [Ce(DMF)₄(H₂O)]³⁺ subunits, by making use of which two-dimensional network structure can be constructed. The result of thermogravimetric analysis manifests that the title compound has two-stage weight loss and the decomposition temperature of the title polyanionic framework is 560°C. The electrochemical analysis shows the title polyanion has three-step redox processes in the pH = 4–7 media.

X-ray diffraction study shows that the complex I crystallizes in mono-clinic system, space group P2₁/c, with lattice parameters a = 11.2687(6), b = 7.3511(4), c = 11.8506(7) ?, β = 95.070(2)°, V = 977.83(9) ?³, Z = 4, and ρ_calcd = 2.184 mg m⁻³.     

Complexation of [2.2]paracyclophane with β- and γ-cyclodextrins studied by HPLC and NMR

The NMR spectra of [2.2]paracyclophane with β- or γ-cyclodextrin in DMF-d₇ at room temperature do not show significant complexation, while HPLC of the complexes in mixed H₂O:alcohol solvents demonstrate complexation with different stoichiometries. At 243 K in DMF solution the H3 and H5 NMR signals of γ-cyclodextrin (but not β) exhibit complexation-induced chemical shifts denoting complex formation. According to HPLC, at room temperature the [2.2]paracyclophane complex with β-cyclodextrin in 20% H₂O:EtOH exhibits 1:2 stoichiometry with K ₁ = 1×10² ± 2, K ₂ = 9.0×10⁴ ± 2×10³ (K = 9×10⁶) while that with γ-cyclodextrin in 50% H₂O:MeOH exhibits 1:1 stoichiometry with K ₁ = 4×10³ ± 150 M⁻¹. Thermodynamic parameters for both complexes have been estimated from the retention time temperature dependence. For the β-cyclodextrin complexation at 25°C ΔG ⁰ _CD is −39.7 kJ mol⁻¹ while ΔH ⁰ _CD and ΔS ⁰ _CD are −88.2 kJ mol⁻¹ and −0.16 kJ mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. For γ-cyclodextrin, the corresponding values are ΔG ⁰ _CD = −20.5 kJ mol⁻¹, ΔH ⁰ _CD = −33.5 kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔS ⁰ _CD = −0.04 kJ mol⁻¹ K⁻¹.      

Cisapride/β-cyclodextrin complexation: stability constants, thermodynamics, and guest–host interactions probed by 1H-NMR and molecular modeling studies

Phase solubility techniques were used to obtain the complexation parameters of cisapride (Cisp) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in aqueous 0.05 M citrate buffer solutions. From the UV absorption spectra and the pH solubility profile, two basic pK _as were estimated: pK _a(1+) = 8.7 and pK _a(2+) < 2. The inherent solubility (S _o) of Cisp was found to increase as pH decreases, but is limited by the solubility product of the CispH⁺·citrate¹⁻ salt at low pH (pK _sp = 3.0). Cisp forms soluble 1:1 and 1:2 Cisp/β-CD complexes. A quantitative measure of the hydrophobic effect (desolvation) contribution to 1:1 complex formation was obtained from the linear variation of free energy of 1:1 Cisp/β-CD complex formation (ΔG ₁₁ = −RT ln K ₁₁ < 0) with that of the inherent solubility of Cisp . The results show that the hydrophobic character of Cisp contributes about 35% of the total driving force to 1:1 complex formation (slope = −0.35), while other factors, including specific interactions, contribute −10.6 kJ/mol (intercept). Protonated 1:1 Cisp/β-CD complex formation at pH 6.0 is driven by favorable enthalpy (ΔH° = −9 kJ/mol) and entropy (ΔS° = 51 J/mol K) changes. In contrast, inherent Cisp solubility is impeded by unfavorable enthalpy (ΔH° = 12 kJ/mol) and entropy (ΔS° = 90 J/mol K) changes. ¹H-NMR spectra in D₂O and molecular mechanical studies indicate the formation of inclusion complexes. The dominant driving force for neutral Cisp/β-CD complexation in vacuo was predominantly van der Waals with very little electrostatic contribution.     

Proton mobility in complex [RhL4Cl2]HSO4 · nH2SO4 · mH2O salts (L = Py, γ-picoline)

The method of deposition from solutions was used to synthesize [RhL ₄Cl₂]HSO₄ · nH₂SO₄ · mH₂O complex salts (L = Py, γ-picoline), n ≈ 0.5−0.6, m ≈ 5−6. According to the data of X-ray phase analysis, the crystal structure of these salts is formed by layers of cations separated by layers consisting of anions molecules of sulfuric acid and water connected through a system of hydrogen bonds. Calorimetric methods were used to study phase transitions and the range of thermal stability of salts. The method of ¹H NMR spectroscopy discovered that protons within the {HSO₄⁻ · nH₂SO₄ · mH₂O} subsystem featured enhanced conductivity. Conductivity studies showed that trans-[RhL ₄Cl₂]HSO₄ · nH₂SO₄ · mH₂O samples had high proton conductivity.     

Kinetic studies on the dehydration of trans-dichlorotetrammine-cobalt (III) iodate dihydrate

Summary The dehydration of trans-[Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂)IO₃·2H₂O was studied isothermally by t.g.a. In the 0.1 < α < 0.8 range, where α is the fraction of the reaction complete, most of the runs gave the best fit to a second order rate law. Early stages of the reaction appear to follow a rate law based on reaction order while later stages (0.3 < α < 0.5) appear to be controlled by diffusion of H₂O. The reaction in the 0.1 < α < 0.3 range gave a best fit to a third order rate law, while the 0.3 < α < 0.5 range gave the best fit to a three dimensional control rate law. The activation energy for the overall reaction was ca. 103 kJ mol⁻¹. For α < 0.3 the activation energy was ca. 79.9 kJ mol⁻¹, but for 0.3 < α < 0.5 it was ca. 110 kJ mol⁻¹.     

Synthesis, structural characterization and properties of a 3D infinitely extended structural rare earth coordination compound of K3{[Sm(H2O)7]2Na[α-SiW11O39Sm(H2O)4]2} · 14 H2O· 14 H2O

A 3D infinitely extended structural rare earth coordination compound with a formula of K₃{[Sm(H₂O)₇]₂Na[α-SiW₁₁O₃₉Sm(H₂O)₄]₂}·14H₂O has been synthesized by reaction of Sm₂O₃, HClO₄, NaOH with α-K₈SiW₁₁O39·nH₂O, and characterized by IR, UV spectra, ICP, TG-DTA, cyclic voltammetry, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. X-ray single-crystal diffraction indicates that the title compound crystallizes in a triclinic lattice, Pī space group, with a = 1.2462(3) nm, b = 1.2652(3) nm, c = 1.8420(4) nm, α = 87.45(3)°, β = 79.91(3)°, γ= 82.57(3)°, Z = 1, R₁ = 0.0778, wR₂ = 0.1610. Structural analysis reveals that Sm³⁺(1) coordination cation has incorporated into the vacant site of [α-SiW11O₃₉]⁸⁻ entity, forming the [α- SiW₁₁O₃₉Sm(H₂O)₄]⁵⁻ subunit. The two adjacent [α-SiW₁₁O₃9Sm(H₂O)4]⁵⁻ subunits are combined with each other through two Sm(1)-O-W bridges accompanying the formation of dimmer structural unit [α-SiW₁₁O₃₉Sm(H₂O)₄]₂ ¹⁰⁻ of the title compound. The neighboring dimmer structural units [α-SiW₁₁O₃₉Sm(H₂O)₄]₂ ¹⁰⁻ are linked to form the 1D chainlike structure by means of two Sm³⁺(2) and a Na⁺(1) coordination cations. The K⁺(1) cations connect the 1D packing chains constructing the 2D netlike structure, and adjacent netlike layers are also grafted by K⁺(2) cations to build the novel 3D infinitely extended structure. The result of TG-DTA curves manifests that the decomposition temperature of the title polyanionic framework is 554°C. The cyclic voltammetry measurements show that the title polyanion has the two-step redox processes in aqueous solution with pH = 3.1. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility indicates the title compound obeys the Cruie-Weiss Law in the higher temperature range from 110 to 300 K, while in the lower temperature range from 2 to 110 K the comparatively strong antiferromagnetism interactions can be observed.

Low-temperature heat capacities and standard molar enthalpy of formation of the complex

Low-temperature heat capacities of a solid complex Zn(Val)SO₄·H₂O(s) were measured by a precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range between 78 and 373 K. The initial dehydration temperature of the coordination compound was determined to be, T _D=327.05 K, by analysis of the heat-capacity curve. The experimental values of molar heat capacities were fitted to a polynomial equation of heat capacities (C _p,m) with the reduced temperatures (x), [x=f (T)], by least square method. The polynomial fitted values of the molar heat capacities and fundamental thermodynamic functions of the complex relative to the standard reference temperature 298.15 K were given with the interval of 5 K. Enthalpies of dissolution of the [ZnSO₄·7H₂O(s)+Val(s)] (Δ_sol H _m,l ⁰) and the Zn(Val)SO₄·H₂O(s) (Δ_sol H _m,2 ⁰) in 100.00 mL of 2 mol dm^–3 HCl(aq) at T=298.15 K were determined to be, Δ_sol H _m,l ⁰=(94.588±0.025) kJ mol^–1 and Δ_sol H _m,2 ⁰=–(46.118±0.055) kJ mol^–1, by means of a homemade isoperibol solution–reaction calorimeter. The standard molar enthalpy of formation of the compound was determined as: Δ_f H _m ⁰ (Zn(Val)SO₄·H₂O(s), 298.15 K)=–(1850.97±1.92) kJ mol^–1, from the enthalpies of dissolution and other auxiliary thermodynamic data through a Hess thermochemical cycle. Furthermore, the reliability of the Hess thermochemical cycle was verified by comparing UV/Vis spectra and the refractive indexes of solution A (from dissolution of the [ZnSO₄·7H₂O(s)+Val(s)] mixture in 2 mol dm^–3 hydrochloric acid) and solution A’ (from dissolution of the complex Zn(Val)SO₄·H₂O(s) in 2 mol dm^–3 hydrochloric acid).     

Crystal structure of C17H20FN3O 32+ ·CuBr 42? ·H2O

A new compound C₁₇H₂₀FN₃O₃²⁺·CuBr₄²⁻·H₂O is synthesized in the crystal form, where C₁₇H₁₈FN₃O₃ (CfH, ciprofloxacin) is 4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-6-fluoro-1-cyclopropyl-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid. Crystallographic data of ciprofloxacinium tetrabromocuprate(II) monohydrate, C₁₇H₂₂Br₄CuFN₃O₄: a = 8.214(1) ?, b = 10.781(2) ?, c = 13.703(2) ?, α = 85.144(2)°, β = 79.119(2)°, γ = 84.018(2)°, V = 1182.5(4) ?³, P [`1]\bar 1 space group, Z = 2. Supramolecular architecture of the crystal differs from that established for C₁₇H₂₀FN₃O₃²⁺·CuCl₄²⁻·H₂O by the absence of π-π interactions of the aromatic rings of CfH₃²⁺ ions and also the structural motifs formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
