A spectroscopic study on the reaction-controlled phase transfer catalyst in the epoxidation of cyclohexene

The epoxidation of cyclohexene with hydrogen peroxide in a biphase medium (H₂O/CHCl₃) was carried out with the reaction-controlled phase transfer catalyst composed of quaternary ammonium heteropolyoxotungstates [π-C₅H₅N(CH₂)₁₅CH₃]₃[PW₄O₁₆]. A conversion of about 90% and a selectivity of over 90% were obtained for epoxidation of cyclohexene on the catalyst. The fresh catalyst, the catalyst under reaction conditions and the used catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, Raman and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. It appears that the insoluble catalyst could degrade into smaller species, [(PO₄){WO(O₂)₂}₄]³⁻, [(PO₄){WO(O₂)₂}₂{WO(O₂)₂(H₂O)}]³⁻, and [(PO₃(OH)){WO(O₂)₂}₂]²⁻ after the reaction with hydrogen peroxide and becomes soluble in the CHCl₃ solvent. The active oxygen in the [W₂O₂(O₂)₄] structure unit of these soluble species reacts with olefins to form the epoxides and consequently the corresponding W---Ob---W (corner-sharing) and W---Oc---W (edge-sharing) bonds are formed. The peroxo group [W₂O₂(O₂)₄] can be regenerated when the W---Ob---W and W---Oc---W bonds react with hydrogen peroxide again. These soluble species lose active oxygen and then polymerize into larger compounds with the W---Ob---W and W---Oc---W bonds and then precipitate from the reaction solution after the hydrogen peroxide is consumed up. Part of the used catalyst seems to form more stable compounds with Keggin structure under the reaction conditions.     

H2O2-based epoxidation of bridged cyclic alkenes with [P{Ti(O2)}2W10O38] in monophasic systems: active site and kinetics

The H₂O₂-based epoxidation of bridged cyclic alkenes in a monophasic system containing low concentrations (<2 mM) of [Bu₄ⁿN]₄[Pr₂ⁱNH₃]₂H[P{Ti(O₂)}₂W₁₀O₃₈]·H₂O (1) (with two η²-peroxotitanium sites in the anion) has been studied in search of the catalytically active species involved. ³¹P NMR spectra of 1, measured under a variety of conditions, revealed that the active species was not hydroperoxotitanium complex [P{Ti(OOH)}₂W₁₀O₃₈]⁷⁻or [P{Ti(OOH)}Ti(O₂)W₁₀O₃₈]⁷⁻. The reaction pathways for the alkene epoxidation are discussed to understand the kinetics (especially the initial [H₂O₂] dependence). It was concluded that the net catalytic reaction for the epoxidation occurred through the two-electron oxidation at the hydroperoxotitanium site in the catalyst.

The vanadium(V) peroxo phosphato complex K₇[V₄O₄(O₂)₈(PO₄)]·9H₂O has been obtained from the KVO₃---KH₂PO₄---KOH---H₂O₂---H₂O---C₂H₅OH system. The X-ray structural analysis revealed a tetranuclear anionic structure in which two dinuclear [V₂O₂(O)₂)₂(μ-η¹ : η²-O₂)₂] units are connected by the μ₄-PO₄ group.     

Large heteropolymetalate complexes formed from lanthanide (Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd), nickel cations and cryptate [As4W40O140]: synthesis and structure characterization

A new family of heteropolytungstate complexes (NH₄)₂₁[Ln(H₂O)₅{Ni(H₂O)}₂As₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]·xH₂O(Ln=Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) were prepared by the reaction of Na₂₇[NaAs₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]·60H₂O with NiCl₂·6H₂O and Ln(NO₃)₃·xH₂O at pH≈4.5. The crystal structures of (NH₄)₂₁[Gd(H₂O)₅{Ni(H₂O)}₂As₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]·51H₂O was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis and element analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a=19.754(3), b=24.298(4), c=39.350(6) Å, β=100.612(3)°, V=18564(5) ų, Z=2, R1(wR₂)=0.0544(0.0691). The central site S1 and two opposite sites S2 of the big cyclic ligand [As₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]²⁸⁻ are occupied by one Ln³⁺and two Ni²⁺, respectively, each site supply four O_d coordinating to metal ion, another one water molecule and other five water molecules coordinate, respectively, to Ni²⁺and Ln³⁺. Polyanion [Ln(H₂O)₅{Ni(H₂O)}₂As₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]²¹⁻ has C_2v symmetry. IR and UV–vis spectra of [NaAs₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]²⁷⁻ of the title compounds are discussed.     

Solid state photodecomposition studies of K4Ti(O2)4·2H2O, K3Ta(O2)2F4 and K2V2O3(O2)2F2

The compounds K₄Ti(O₂)₄·2H₂O, K₃Ta(O₂)₂F₄ and K₂V₂O₃(O₂)₂F₂ undergo photolysis in the solid state. The photolysis kinetics obey the parabolic rate equation p = kt^1/2 and indicate a monoexcitation process for the photolysis. These features are similar to those reported previously for peroxo complexes. The mechanism of evolution of oxygen reported earlier appears to be the same in all these solids.     

Synthesis of titania and titanate nanomaterials and their application in environmental analytical chemistry

TiO₂ nanoparticles and H₂Ti₂O₅·H₂O, Na₂Ti₂O₄(OH)₂ nanotubes were synthesized by solvothermal method and their applications in the degradation of active Brilliant-blue (KN-R) solution were investigated. The experimental results revealed that the synthesized TiO₂ nanoparticles had a good crystallinity and a narrow size distribution (about 4–5 nm); the obtained H₂Ti₂O₅·H₂O, Na₂Ti₂O₄(OH)₂ were tubelike products with an average diameter of 20–30 and 200–300 nm length. The three catalysts we synthesized had some hydroxyl groups and the maximum absorption boundaries of the samples were all red-shifted, which indicated the samples had a promising prospect in photocatalysis.

The results of the photocatalytic experiments indicated that the photocatalytic activity of the samples was: TiO₂ > H₂Ti₂O₅·H₂O > Na₂Ti₂O₄(OH)₂, which was in good accordance with the fact of FTIR and UV–vis absorption spectra. The formation mechanism of these nanostructures was also discussed.

The crystal structure is constructed from [H₂As₆V₁₅O₄₂(H₂O)]⁴⁻ anions and [Zn(H₂O)₄]²⁺ cations linked through hydrogen bonds into a network. The [H₂As₆V₁₅O₄₂(H₂O)]⁶⁻ cluster consists of 15 VO₅ square pyramids linked by three As₂O₅ handle-like units.     

The formation and stability of hydrated and anhydrous uranyl arsenates

Three hydrated uranyl arsenates, (UO₂)₃(AsO₄)₂ · 11 H₂O, UO₂HAsO₄ · 4 H₂O, and UO₂(H₂AsO₄)₂ · 1 H₂O, have been prepared. The dehydration of these compounds has been studied by thermal analysis. Three crystalline anhydrous uranyl arsenates, (UO₂)₃(AsO₄)₂, (UO₂(AsO₃)₂, have been found. These show melting phenomena and lose arsenic oxide vapour at high temperatures to result, finally, in U₃O₈ at 1500°C in air. The anhydrous compounds have been prepared under isothermal conditions and the strongest X-ray reflections are given. A tentative phase diagram in the composition range UO₃ to As₂O₅ has been constructed.

The molar enthalpy of solution of SrB₄O₇·3H₂O in 1 mol dm⁻³ HCl(aq) was measured to be (21.15 ± 0.29) kJ mol⁻¹. With incorporation of the previously determined enthalpies of solution of Sr(OH)₂·8H₂O(s) in [HCl(aq) + H₃BO₃(aq)] and H₃BO₃ in HCl(aq), and the enthalpies of formation of H₂O(l), Sr(OH)₂·8H₂O(s) and H₃BO₃(s), the enthalpy of formation of SrB₄O₇·3H₂O was found to be −(4286.7 ± 3.3) kJ mol⁻¹.     

Structural diversity of lanthanide–amino acid complexes under near physiological pH conditions and their recognition of single-stranded DNA

We reported here four structures of lanthanide–amino acid complexes obtained under near physiological pH conditions and their individual formula can be described as [Tb₂(dl-Cys)₄(H₂O)₈]Cl₂ (1), [Eu₄(μ₃-OH)₄(l-Asp)₂(l-HAsp)₃(H₂O)₇] Cl · 11.5H₂O (2), [Eu₈(l-HVal)₁₆(H₂O)₃₂]Cl₂₄ · 12.5H₂O (3), and [Tb₂(dl-HVal)₄(H₂O)₈]Cl₆ · 2H₂O (4). These complexes showed diverse structures and have shown potential application in DNA detection. We studied the interactions of the complexes with five single-stranded DNA and found different fluorescence enhancement, binding affinity and binding stoichiometry when the complexes are bound to DNA.     

The formation and stability of hydrated and anhydrous uranyl phosphates

The stabilities of the hydrated uranyl phosphates (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂ · 4 H₂O, UO₂HPO₄ · 4 H₂O, and UO₂(H₂PO₄) · 3 H₂O have been reinvestigated. The compounds identified by thermal analysis have been prepared isothermally and characterized by their strongest X-ray reflections. During dehydration, oxygen was not evolved and the crystalline compounds (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂, (UO₂)₂P₂O₇, UO₂(PO₃)₂, and probably (UO₂)₃P₄O)₁₃ were found.

At still higher temperatures, the uranyl phosphates are reduced. The decomposition products lose phosphorus oxide above 1300–1400°C. The present results are summarized in a tentative pseudo-binary phase diagram UO_x(x = 3 to 2)—UO₂(PO₃)₂.     

The electrolyte NRTL model and speciation approach as applied to multicomponent aqueous solutions of H2SO4, Fe2(SO4)3, MgSO4 and Al2(SO4)3 at 230–270 °C

This work presents chemical modeling of solubilities of metal sulfates in aqueous solutions of sulfuric acid at high temperatures. Calculations were compared with experimental solubility measurements of hematite (Fe₂O₃) in aqueous ternary and quaternary systems of H₂SO₄, MgSO₄ and Al₂(SO₄)₃ at high temperatures. A hybrid model of ion-association and electrolyte non-random two liquid (ENRTL) theory was employed to fit solubility data in three ternary systems H₂SO₄–MgSO₄–H₂O, H₂SO₄–Al₂(SO₄)₃–H₂O at 235–270 °C and H₂SO₄–Fe₂(SO₄)₃–H₂O at 150–270 °C. Employing the Aspen Plus™ property program, the electrolyte NRTL local composition model was used for calculating activity coefficients of the ions Al³⁺, Mg²⁺ Fe³⁺ and SO₄²⁻, HSO₄⁻, OH⁻, H₃O⁺, respectively, as well as molecular species. The solid phases were hydronium alunite (H₃O)Al₃(SO₄)₂(OH)₆, hematite Fe₂O₃ and magnesium sulfate monohydrate (MgSO₄)·H₂O which were employed as constraint precipitation solids in calculating the metal sulfate solubilities. A correlation for the equilibrium constants of the association reactions of complex species versus temperature was implemented. Based on the maximum-likelihood principle, the binary interaction energy parameters for the ionic species as well as the coefficients for equilibrium constants of the reactions were obtained simultaneously using the solubility data of the ternary systems. Following that, the solubilities of metal sulfates in the quaternary systems H₂SO₄–Fe₂(SO₄)₃–MgSO₄–H₂O, H₂SO₄–Fe₂(SO₄)₃–Al₂(SO₄)₃–H₂O at 250 °C and H₂SO₄–Al₂(SO₄)₃–MgSO₄–H₂O at 230–270 °C were predicted. The calculated results were in excellent agreement with the experimental data.     

Synthesis, characterization and thermal investigation of M[M(C2O4)3]·xH2O (x=4 for M=Cr(III); x=2 for M=Sb(III) and x=9 for M=La(III))

The complexes, M[M(C₂O₄)₃]·xH₂ O, where x=4 for M=Cr(III), x=2 for M=Sb(III) and x=9 for M=La(III) have been synthesized and their thermal stability was investigated. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectral data, conductivity measurement and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The chromium(III)tris(oxalato)chromate(III)tetrahydrate (COT), Cr[Cr(C₂ O₄)₃]·4H₂O, released water in a stepwise fashion. Removal of the last trace of water was accompanied by a partial decomposition of the oxalate group. Thermal investigation using TG, DTG and DTA techniques in air produced Cr₂O₃ at 858°C through the intermediate formation of Cr₂O₃ and CrC₂O₄ at around 460°C. While DSC study in nitrogen up to 670°C produced a mixture of Cr₂O₃ and CrC₂O₄. In antimony(III)tris(oxalato)antimonate(III)dihydrate (AOD), Sb[Sb(C₂O₄)₃]·3H₂O the dehydration took place during the decomposition of precursor at 170–290°C and finally at ca. 610°C Sb₂ O₅ along with trace amounts of Sb₂O₄ were produced. Trace amount of Sb₂O₃ and Sb along with Sb₂O is proposed as the end product at 670°C of AOD in nitrogen. The oxide La₂O₃ is formed at 838°C from the study with TG, DTG and DTA in air of lanthanum(III)tris(oxalato)lanthanum(III)nonahydrate (LON), La[La(C₂O₄)₃]·9H₂O. Intermediate dioxycarbonate, La₂O₂CO₃ was generated at 526°C prior to its decomposition to lanthanum oxide in air; whereas in N₂ the formation of La₂(CO₃)₃ at 651°C was proposed. The thermal parameters have been evaluated for each step of the dehydration and decomposition of COT, AOD and LON using five non-mechanistic equations i.e. Flynn and Wall, Freeman and Carroll, Modified Freeman and Carroll, Coats–Redfern and MacCallum–Tanner equations. Kinetic parameters, such as, E^*, k_o, ΔH^*, ΔS^* etc. were also supplemented by DSC studies in nitrogen for all the three complexes. Some of the intermediate species have been identified by analytical and powder XRD studies. Tentative schemes has been proposed for the decomposition of all three compounds in air and nitrogen.     

Optimised hydrothermal synthesis of multi-dimensional hybrid coordination polymers containing flexible organic ligands

In this paper, we summarise our recent research interest in the hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterisation of multi-dimensional coordination polymers. The use of N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid (also referred to as H₄pmida) in the literature as a versatile chelating organic ligand is briefly reviewed. This molecule plays an important role in the formation of centrosymmetric dimeric [V₂O₂(pmida)₂]⁴⁻ anionic units, which were first used by us as building blocks to construct novel coordination polymers. Starting with [V₂O₂(pmida)₂]⁴⁻ in solution, we have isolated [M₂V₂O₂(pmida)₂(H₂O)₁₀] species (where M²⁺ = Mn²⁺, Co²⁺ or Cd²⁺) via the hydrothermal synthetic approach, which were then employed for the construction of [CdVO(pmida)(4,4′-bpy)(H₂O)₂]·(4,4′-bpy)_0.5·(H₂O), [CoVO(pmida)(4,4′-bpy)(H₂O)₂]·(4,4′-bpy)_0.5, [Co(H₂O)₆][CoV₂O₂(pmida)₂(pyr)(H₂O)₂]·2(H₂O) and [Cd₂V₂O₂(pmida)₂(pyr)₂(H₂O)₄]·4(H₂O) by the inclusion of bridging organic ligands in the reactive mixtures, such as pyrazine (pyr) and 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy). These materials can contain channel systems, and exhibit magnetic behaviour, not only due to the V⁴⁺ centres but also to the transition metal centres which establish the links between neighbouring dimeric [V₂O₂(pmida)₂]⁴⁻ anionic units. A closely related anionic moiety, [Ge₂(pmida)₂(OH)₂]²⁻, was engineered to allow the study of such crystalline hybrid materials using one- and two-dimensional high-resolution solid-state NMR.     

Thermal decomposition study on mixed ligand thymine complexes of divalent nickel(II) with dianions of some dicarboxylic acids

Thermal decomposition of mixed ligand thymine (2,4-dihydroxy-5-methylpyrimidine) complexes of divalent Ni(II) with aspartate, glutamate and ADA (N-2-acetamido)iminodiacetate dianions was monitored by TG, DTG and DTA analysis in static atmosphere of air. The decomposition course and steps of complexes [Ni(C₅H₆N₂O₂)(C₄H₅NO₄)²⁻(H₂O)₂]·H₂O, [Ni(C₅H₆N₂O₂)(C₅H₇NO₄)²⁻(H₂O)₂]·H₂O and [Ni(C₅H₆N₂O₂)(C₆H₈N₂O₅)²⁻(H₂O)₂]·1.5H₂O were analyzed. The final decomposition products are found to be the corresponding metal oxides. The kinetic parameters namely, activation energy (E*), enthalpy (ΔH*), entropy (ΔS*) and free energy change of decomposition (ΔG*) are calculated from the TG curves using Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger equations. The stability order found for these complexes follows the trend aspartate > ADA > glutamate.     

Three interpenetrated frameworks constructed by long flexible N,N′-bipyridyl and dicarboxylate ligands

Three interpenetrated polymeric networks, {[Co(bpp)(OH-BDC)] · H₂O}_n (1) [Ni(bpp)_1.5(H₂O)(OH-BDC)]_n (2) and {[Cd(bpp)(H₂O)(OH-BDC)] · 2H₂O}_n (3), have been prepared by hydrothermal reactions of 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp), 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid (OH-H₂BDC), with Co(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O, Ni(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O and Cd(NO₃)₂ · 4H₂O, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the three compounds all exhibit interpenetrated but entirely different structures. Compound 1 is a fourfold interpenetrated adamantanoid structure with water molecules as space fillers, in which bpp adopts a TG conformation (T = trans, G = gauche). Compound 2 is an interdigitated structure from the interpenetrated long arms of one-dimensional molecular ladders, while bpp in 2 adopts both TT and TG conformations. Compound 3 is a twofold interpenetrated three-dimensional network from a one-dimensional metal-carboxylate chain bridged by TG conformational bpp. The hydrogen bonding interactions in 1–3 further stabilize the whole structural frameworks and play critical roles in their constructions.     

Molecular, supramolecular structure and catalytic activity of transition metal complexes of phenoxy acetic acid derivatives

Six mononuclear complexes [M(L₁)₂(H₂O)₄] (M = Co(II), 1a and M = Mn(II), 1b), [Cu(L₁)₂(H₂O)₂] (1c), [Cu(L₁)₂(H₂O)(Py)₂] (1d), [Cu(L₃)(H₂O)Cl] · H₂O (3a) and [Co(Sal)(H₂O)(Py)₃] · 2ClO₄ · H₂O (3b) of phenoxyacetic acid derivatives and Schiff base were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Co(II) (1a) and Mn(II) (1b) complexes are isomorphous. X-ray crystal structural analyses reveal that these coordination complexes form polymeric structure via formation of different types of hydrogen bonding and π-stacking interactions in solid. Thermal analysis along with the powder X-ray diffraction data of these complexes shows the importance of the coordinated and/or crystal water molecules in stabilizing the MOF structure. Complexes 1a, 1c, 3a show marginal catalytic activity in the oxidation of olefins to epoxides in the presence of i-butyraldehyde and molecular oxygen.     

Structural Characterizations of Spherical Octadecavanadates Encapsulating Na+, K+ or I- and Ellipsoidal Octadecamolybdate Encapsulating two Anions of SO42-

Polyoxoanions of tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium have been the subject of interest since their wide variety of compositions, structures, and properties give rise to numerous important applications^[1]. From the NH₄VO₃/Na₂S_x (or (NH₄)₂S_x) reaction system we synthesized several spherical octadecavanadates with Na⁺,K⁺, NH₄⁺ or I encapsulated using hydrothermal method. These complexes include (NH₄)₁₁[V₁₈O₄₂(Na)]·(H₂O)₂₀ 1; (NH₄)₁₁[V₁₈O₄₂(K)]·(H₂O)₆, 2; (NH₄)₁₀(Na)[V₁₈O₄₂(Na)]·(H₂O)₂₆, 3; (NH₄)₁₁[V₁₈O₄₂(NH4]·(H₂O)₂₀, 4; and (NH₄)₂₀(I)₇[V₁₈O₄₂(I)]·(H₂O)₁₂, 5, in which the structures of 1, 2, 3, and 5 have been determined by X-ray analyses. In the analogous reaction system of (NH₄)₂MoS₄/(NH₄)₂S_x, we also obtained one ellipsoidal octadecamolybdate, (NH₄)₄[Mo₁₈O₅₄(2SO₄)]·(H₂O)₄, 6 with a standard Wells-Dawson structure^[2]. The Ortep drawings of the two kinds of structures are viewed as follows.

A series of chromium(III) complexes [Cr(bipy)(HC₂O₄)₂]Cl·3H₂O (1), [Cr(phen)(HC₂O₄)₂]Cl·3H₂O (2), [Cr(phen)₂(C₂O₄)]ClO₄ (3), [Cr₂(bipy)₄(C₂O₄)](SO₄)·(bipy)_0.5·H₂O (4) and [Mn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]₂[Cr(phen)(C₂O₄)₂]₃ClO₄·14H₂O (5) were synthesized (bipy=4,4′-bipyridine, phen=1,10-phenanthroline), while the crystal structures of 1 and 3–5 have been determined by X-ray analysis. 1 and 3 are mononuclear complexes, 4 contains binuclear chromium(III) ions and 5 is a 3D supromolecule formed by complicated hydrogen bonding. 1–3 are potential molecular bricks of chromium(III) building blocks for synthesis heterometallic complexes. When we use these molecular bricks as ligands to react with other metal salts, unexpected complexes 4 and 5 are isolated in water solution. The synthesis conditions and reaction results are also discussed.
