Selective functionalization at the small rim of calix[6]arene. Synthesis of novel non-symmetrical N3, N4 and N3ArO biomimetic ligands

Eight novel calix[6]arene-based biomimetic ligands for transition metal ions have been synthesized. They display a non-symmetrical N₃, N₄ or N₃ArO binding core that mimics enzyme active sites presenting histidine and tyrosine residues. The key step for their synthesis is the mono-alkylation at the small rim of the C_3v symmetrical trimethyl ether derivative of tBu-calix[6]arene with N-Boc-2-chloroethylamine to yield a novel calix[6]arene synthon. Its combined O-alkylation with a chloromethyl aromatic amine and N-deprotection or alkylation or reductive alkylation with a salicylaldehyde derivative yielded the calix[6]arene-based ligands with mixed N/O donors.

The first quaternary lanthanide(III) nitride iodides: NaM4N2I7 (M=La-Nd)

In attempts to synthesize lanthanide(III) nitride iodides with the formula M₂NI₃ (M=La-Nd), moisture-sensitive single crystals of the first quaternary sodium lanthanide(III) nitride iodides NaM₄N₂I₇ (orthorhombic, Pna2₁; Z=4; a=1391-1401, b=1086-1094, c=1186-1211 pm) could be obtained. The dominating structural features are chains of trans-edge linked [NM₄]⁹⁺ tetrahedra, which run parallel to the polar 2₁-axis [001]. Between the chains, direct bonding via special iodide anions generates cages, in which isolated [NaI₆]^5- octahedra are embedded. The IR spectrum of NaLa₄N₂I₇ recorded from 100 to 1000 cm^-1 shows main bands at υ=337, 373 and 489 cm^-1. With decreasing radii of the lanthanide trications these bands, which can be assigned as an influence of the vibrations of the condensed [NM₄]⁹⁺ tetrahedra, are shifted toward higher frequencies for the NaM₄N₂I₇ series (M=La-Nd), following the lanthanide contraction.

Syntheses,crystal structures,and properties of Ni(II) and Co(III) complexes derived from tripod polypyridine ligands containing N7 or N6 donor set atoms

New complexes [Ni^II(pbpaen)](ClO₄)₂ (1) and [Co^III(pbpaen)](ClO₄)₃ (2) (pbpaen = N′-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-N,N-bis {2-[(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]ethyl}ethane-1,2-diamine) have been synthesized and characterized by IR and UV–Vis spectroscopies. An X-ray structure of the nickel(II) complex shows that [Ni(pbpaen)](ClO₄)₂ (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2_1/c. The cation [Ni(pbpaen)]²⁺ is pseudo-octahedral with one of the three pyridyl nitrogen atom uncoordinated. The crystal lattice of this complex is stabilized by intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonding systems, giving one-dimensional sheets like arrays. All attempts to obtain nickel or cobalt complexes with protonated forms of the ligand resulted in isolation of only [Co^III(bpaen)](ClO₄)₃ (3) compound in which the tripod pbpaen ligand has lost one of the three pyridylmethyl groups, procuring then bpaen ligand {bpaen = N,N-bis{2-[(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]ethyl}ethane-1,2-diamine}. The X-ray crystal structure reveals that the compound 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna2 with the Co³⁺ ion having a distorted-octahedral environment. These two ligands with strong-field N donor stabilise the +3 oxidation state of the Co center.

ESR and pH-potentiometric study of the mixed-ligand complex formation in the copper(II)-4-fluorosalicylic acid-N,N-diethylnicotinamide system: Structure and spectral properties of [Cu(4-fluorosalicylate)2(N,N-diethylnicotinamide)2(H2O)2] complex

EPR simulation method together with pH-potentiometry combined with UV-Vis spectrophotometry were used for the study of the ternary system 4-fuorosalicylic acid (HA)-N,N-diethylnicotinamide (B)-copper(II) in aqueous solution. The N,N-diethylnicotinamide ligand is a weak donor, its mixed-ligand complexes with 4-fluorosalicylate anions are more favoured. The number of coordinated N,N-diethylnicotinamide molecules increases with decreasing temperature: up to four ones were detected in the coordination sphere of copper(II) in frozen solutions. The formation of [CuH₋₁AB₂] and [CuH₋₁A] was detected by all methods at neutral pH. At lower pH values, [CuA₂B₂] and [CuB] become dominant, and this fact is in good agreement with [CuA₂B₂(H₂O)₂] crystals obtained from similar solutions. The structural unit of the [CuA₂B₂(H₂O)₂] complex consists of a copper(II) ion, which is monodentately coordinated by a pair of 4-fluorosalicylate anions and by a pair of N,N-diethylnicotinamide in trans positions in the basal plane, and by two water molecules in the axial positions of a tetragonal bipyramid.

N235萃取HCl体系中TBP消除第三相的作用机理

通过测定萃取有机相的电导率变化研究叔胺N₂₃₅(三烷基胺)萃取盐酸体系中第三相的形成及改性剂消除第三相的作用机理。实验结果表明，无改性剂时萃取体系在各种条件下均出现第三相。第三相组成为R₃NH⁺(H₂O)₃·Cl^-，具有导电性。加改性剂TBP(磷酸三丁酯)后，第三相消失。本文认为改性剂TBP消除第三相的作用机理是TBP能够将萃合物R₃NH+(H₂O)₃·Cl^-拆分为可溶于惰性稀释剂的R₃NH⁺(H₂O)₃·O=P(OC₄H₉)₃大阳离子，Cl^-离子则以抗衡离子分散于稀释剂中。
