Complex formation between nickel(II) and 2-(2-aminoethyl) benzimidazole: A kinetic and equilibrium study

Summary The reversible complex formation between 2-(2-aminoethyl) benzimidazole (AEB) and nickel(II) was studied by stopped flow spectrophotometry at I = 0.30 mol dm^–3. Both the neutral and monoprotonated form of AEB reacted to give the NiAEB²⁺ chelate. At 25 °C, the rates and activation parameters for the reactions Ni_II + AEB NiAEB²⁺ and Ni^II + AEBH⁺ NiAEB²⁺ + H⁺ are k _f ^L(dm^–3 mol^–1 s^–1) = (2.17 ± 0.24) × 10³, H (kJ mol^–1) = 40.0 ± 0.8, S (JK^–1 mol^–1) = – 47 ± 3 and k _inff ^pHL (dm³ mol^–1 s^–1) = 33 ± 10, H (kJ mol^–1) = 42.0 ±2.7, S (JK^–1 mol^–1) = – 72 ± 9. The dissociation of NiAEB²⁺ was acid catalysed and k _obs for this process increased linearly with [H⁺] in the 0.01–0.15 mol dm^–3 (10–30 °C) range with k _H(dm³ mol^–1s^–1) (25 °C) = 329 ± 6, H (kJ mol^–1) = 40 ± 2 and S (JK^–1 mol^–1) = – 61 ± 8. The results also indicated that the formation of NiAEB²⁺ involves a chelation-controlled, rate-limiting process. Analysis of the S ° data for the acid ionisation of AEBH _inf2 ^p2+ and the formation of NiAEB²⁺ showed that the bulky AEBH⁺ ion has a solvent structure breaking effect as compared to AEB [s _aqS ° (AEBH⁺) – s _aq ° (AEB) = 69 JK^–1 mol^–1], while AEBH _inf2 ^p2+ is a solvent ordering ion relative to NiAEB²⁺ [s _aq° (NiAEB²⁺) – ovS _aq ° (AEBH _inf2 ^p2+ ) = 11 JK^–1 mol^–1].Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.

Incorporation of 2-(5-amino-3,4-dicyano-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene)-1,1, 2-tricyanoethanide in crosslinked polyvinylformal: Formation and properties of the Copper(II) complex in the matrix

The metal(II) coordinating anion 2-(5-amino-3,4-dicyano-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene)-1,1,2-tricyanoethanide (C₁₁N₇H ₂ ^– , L, _max = 570 nm) has been incorporated by impregnation as the sodium salt in a membrane (0.1 mm thick) of crosslinked polyvinylformal (PVF) at a concentration 1.5 × 10^–3 M. The L-doped PVF membrane, soaked in a concentrated aqueous solution of Cu²⁺ (0.1 M), changes colour from violet to blue on formation of the corresponding pure bis-pyrrolizinato complex CuL₂ (_max = 660 nm). The CuL₂-doped PVF membrane reacts in the gas phase on exposure to species (X) that are copper-coordinating ligands stronger than L, generating the reverse colour change to violet. The remarkable stability towards water of CuL₂/PVF is a promising indication for prospective use of ML₂ complexes, incorporated in polymeric membranes, for the detection of (X) species in the atmosphere even in the presence of moisture, or directly in aqueous solutions.Abbreviations average molecular weight; - wt weight - min minutes - max maximum - M molar - c concentration

3-Hydroxy-2-(2-thienyl)-4H-chromen-4-one as a new reagent for the extraction and trace determination of molybdenum(VI)

A simple, sensitive and selective method for the extraction and trace determination of molybdenum(VI) has been developed; it is based on its reaction with 3-hydroxy-2-(2-thienyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (HTC) in sulphuric acid medium. The 1:2 Mo (VI)-HTC yellow complex is quantitatively extractable into chloroform (_max 420 nm) and is stable for more than 4 h. The procedure eliminates the interference of a large number of metal ions and complexing agents. Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 0–2.85 g Mo/mL with a molar absorptivity, Sandell's sensitivity and standard deviation of 5.28×10⁴ L mol^–1 cm^–1, 0.0018 g Mo/cm² and ±0.0054, respectively. The method has successfully been used for the spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum in steel samples.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the interaction of azide with [(H2O)(tap)2RuORu(tap)2-(H2O)]2+ ion at physiological pH

The title reaction has been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous medium as a function of [substrate complex], [ligand], pH and temperature at constant ionic strength. At the physiological pH (7.4) the interaction with azide shows two distinct consecutive steps, i.e., it shows a non-linear dependence on the concentration of N₃ ^–; both processes are [ligand]-dependent. The rate constant for the processes are: k ₁10^–3 s^–1 and k ₂10^–5 s^–1. The activation parameters calculated from Eyring plots are: H ₁ = 14.8 ± 1 kJ mol^–1, S ₁ = –240 ± 3 J K^–1 mol^–1, H ₂ = 44.0 ± 1.5 kJ mol^–1 and S ₂ = –190 ± 4 J K^–1 mol^–1. Based on the kinetic and activation parameters an associative interchange mechanism is proposed for the interaction process. From the temperature dependence of the outersphere association equilibrium constant, the thermodynamic parameters calculated are: H ₁ ⁰ = 4.4 ± 0.9 kJ mol^–1, S ₁ ⁰ = 64 ± 3 J K^–1 mol^–1 and H ₂ ⁰ = 14.2 ± 2.9 kJ mol^–1, S ₂ ⁰ = 90 ± 9 J K^–1 mol^–1, which gives a negative G ⁰ value at all temperatures studied, supporting the spontaneous formation of an outersphere association complex.     

Photodissociation Spectroscopy of CD3I+ Generated by Mass‐Analyzed Threshold Ionization for Structure Determination

A method is devised better to resolve the subbands of the ground vibronic band in the mass‐analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectrum of CD₃I. By selective photodissociation of CD₃I⁺ in these subbands, high‐resolution spectra for the à ²A₁← ²E_3/2 transition are recorded. Spectral analysis confirms our previous suggestion that these subbands are due to cations in different rotational K states; this demonstrates the capability of MATI to generate rovibronically selected ion beams. By using the rotational constants of CH₃I⁺ and CD₃I⁺ obtained by spectral analysis, the zero‐point‐level geometries of the cations in the ²E_3/2 and à ²A₁ states are determined. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the capability of MATI–PD to determine the geometry of a gas‐phase polyatomic cation in an excited electronic state is demonstrated.

Remarks on the analysis of dynamic 1H NMR spectra of A3B2 ⇌ C3D2 spin systems. Internal rotation in N,N-diethylbenzamide

A method of analysis of dynamic NMR spectra for A₃B₂ ? C₃D₂ spin systems is proposed. This method is based upon the assumption that the shape of the A–C part of the spectrum is the same as for the AB₂ ? CD₂ spin system and the shape of the B–D part is the same as for the A₃B ? C₃D system. By means of this simplification the iterative total line shape analysis of dynamic NMR spectra by the use of the least-squares method becomes feasible. The method proposed is applied to the determination of the thermodynamic parameters of activation for internal rotation in N,N-diethylbenzamide in CD₃CN (ΔG = 62.6 kJ mol^?1 ΔH^≠ = 62 kJ mol^?1, ΔS^≠ = ?1 J/mol^?1 K^?1). The determination of natural line widths is discussed in detail and a method of estimation of the effect of systematic errors on the results is proposed.     

Anion and Cavity Effects on the Complexation Behavior of Di-Aza-Benzo-Crown-Ether Calix[4]arene towards Zn(II) Ions

A novel compound, 25, 27 - N,N - di - ((2 -ethoxy)benzyl)butylenediamine - p - tert- butylcalix[4]arene, 1, has beensynthesized by reducing its Schiff base derivative. Inclusion studies by¹H-NMR spectroscopy in a mixed solvent (CD₃OD/CDCl₃) of25,27-N,N-di-((2-ethoxy)benzyl)propylenediamine-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene,2, and 1 with Zn(II) ions, where counter anions are Cl^-, Br^-, I^- and NO ₃ ^- ,show that both ligands can bind Zn(II) to a different extent depending onthe counter anions and the cavity size of the ligands. The stabilityconstants of ZnX₂–1 (ZnX₂-2) complexes where X = Cl^-, Br^-, I^- and NO ₃ ^- are 1.4 ± 0.1 (1.6 ± 0.1), 1.7 ± 0.1 (1.9 ±0.1), 2.2 ± 0.1 (2.7 ± 0.1) and 4.7 ± 0.1 (6.0 ±0.1), respectively. The calix[4]arene unit of the ligand 2 was found to havea structural change from cone to partial cone conformation upon binding toZnCl₂, ZnBr₂ and ZnI₂.     

X-ray diffraction study of 1,2-bis(methylidene-2,2-dimethyl-hydrazino)ethylene — product of the oxidation of 1,1,2-trisubstituted hydrazines [1,1-dimethyl-2-(2-cyanoethyl)hydrazine]

It was established by x-ray diffraction analysis of crystals with the composition C₁₀H₁₄N₆ [a=14.869(2), b=11.405(2), c=7.585(1) Å, =107.53(1), d_calc=1.18 g·cm^–3, Z=4, and space group P2₁/c] that the molecule has a linear rather than a cyclic structure and is 1,2-bis(methylidene-2,2-dimethylhydrazino)ethylene rather than 1,4-bis(dimethylamino)-2,5-dicyano-1,4-dihydropyrazine as previously assumed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 541–544, April, 1978.     

Protonated forms of 2-(2-furyl)pyrroles and their interconversions

It was shown by ¹H NMR spectroscopy that 2-(5-R¹-2-furyl)-3-R²-1-R¹-pyrroles (R¹= H, Me; R²=H, Me; R³=H, Et, CH=CH₂) are protonated by acids (HSO₃F, HCO₂CF₃, HCl, HBr) either at the C(₅) atom of the pyrrole ring or at the C(₅) atom of the furan ring, depending on the conditions. The energies of formation (H), the charges, and the partial electron densities of the boundary orbitals of 2-(2-furyl)pyrrole (I) and its protonated forms (IA and IB) were calculated by the MNDO method. The calculated H values for the IA and IB forms are in agreement with their experimental ratio. According to the calculated reactivity indexes, the protonation of pyrrole is subject to orbital control and may include the prior formation of less stable protonated forms.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1343–1355, October, 1989.

Polymerization Reactions in an Al(OBus)3-(COOH)2 System

Reactions in an Al(OBu^s)₃-(COOH)₂ (OA)-tetrahydrofuran (THF)/(CD₃)₂SO (DMSO-d₆) system (Al(OBu^s)₃: THF : DMSO-d₆: OA = 1 : 5 : 5 : x, x = 0.01 –3) were studied, without the addition of water and the process was monitored by NMR. When x 0.3, homogeneous solutions were obtained, whereas white precipitates formed with x 0.7. The formation of sec-butyl alcohol was evident with x 0.6, indicating that oxalate groups coordinate to aluminum to release sec-butyl alcohol. ¹³C NMR spectra of the solutions after 1 day suggest the presence of polymeric species if 0.03 x 0.6. The addition of a small amount of water resulted in the formation of a white precipitate (Al(OBu^s)₃: THF : DMSO-d₆ : OA : H₂O = 1 : 5 : 5 : 0.3 : y,y = 0.03–0.3), indicating that water, possibly formed by esterification in the Al(OBu^s)₃-OA-THF/DMSO-d₆ system, does not take a major role in the present system.

Substitution of ligands in dichloro-2-(arylazo)heterocyclepalladium(II) by 8-quinolinol: kinetics and mechanistic studies

Nucleophilic substitutions of Pd(N,N)Cl₂[(N,N = 1-methyl-2-(arylazo)imidazole (RaaiMe), p-RC₆H₄N=NC₃H₂NN-1-Me; 2-(arylazo)pyridine (Raap), p-RC₆H₄N=NC₅H₄N; 2-(arylazo)pyrimidine (Raapm), p-RC₆H₄N=NC₄H₃N₂ where R = H (a), Me (b), Cl (c)] with 8-quinolinol (HQ) have been examined by spectrophotometry at 298 K in MeCN solution. The product, Pd(Q)₂, has also been confirmed by independent synthesis from Na₂[PdCl₄] and HQ in EtOH. The kinetics of the reaction have been studied under pseudo-first-order conditions and the analyses support a nucleophilic association path. A single phase reaction has been observed and follows the rate law, rate = a + k [Pd(N,N)Cl₂] [HQ]². Thus, the reaction is first order in [Pd(N,N)Cl₂] and second order in [HQ]. External addition of Cl^–(LiCl) suppresses the rate. The rate increases as follows: Pd(RaaiMe)Cl₂ < Pd(Raap)Cl₂ < Pd(Raapm)Cl₂.

Phase-fixed double-group 3-Γ symbols. V. 3-Γ symbols and coupling coefficients for all the octahedral double group-subgroup hierarchies

For all the subgroup hierarchies descending from the octahedral double group O ^*, we have obtained sets of 3- symbols and discuss here their properties. We have entirely real sets of 3- symbols for the tetrahedral and tetragonal hierarchies as well as for O ^* C ₃ ^* . For the latter hierarchy and the tetragonal ones, formalisms almost as powerful as the classical one for the rotation group may be established. We also discuss results obtained for cases with strict adaption to D ₃ ^* where it is now known that non-real 3- symbols are unavoidable.The 3- symbols are phase-fixed by the specification of basis functions (or, equivalently, subduction coefficients) generating them.The significance of the concept of associated representations of O* is discussed. The problems raised by the two multiplicity triples UT₁U and UT₂U in O* are given particular attention.     

Preparation and properties of chiral complexes of Cu(II) with (S)-2-[(N-benzylprolyl)amino]benzaldehyde oxime,catalysts of azlactone hydrolysis

Two Cu(II) complexes of (S)-2-[(N-benzylprolyl)amino]benzaldehyde oxime (L) were isolated. The complex Cu[(LH^–1)(Cl)] is green, whereas Cu₂(LH₂)_–2 is red-brown. The structure of these complexes was proved by elemental analysis, IR and UV spectroscopy. The average molecular masses ( ) of the complexes in ethanol were determined by precision ebulliometry. The concentration dependence of the values of these complexes is consistent with the existence of the following equilibria in ethanol: Cu[(LH_–1)(Cl)] + EtOH Cu[(LH_–1)(HOEt)]⁺+Cl⁺ and [Cu₂(LH_–2)₂] + EtOH 2[Cu(LH-_–2)(HOEt)]. The equilibrium constants of these two reactions were determined. Both [Cu(LH_–1)(Cl)] and [Cu₂(LH_–2)₂] catalyze with equal efficiency the hydrolysis of 2-methyl-4-benzyl-5(4H)-oxazolone in aqueous solutions at a given pH. The UV spectra of both complexes in water at similar pH values are identical. Thus, both complexes must be interconvertible in aqueous solutions. Furthermore, the absence of any electrophoretically mobile particles in neutral aqueous buffers is an indication that the complexes [Cu₂(LH^–2)₂] and [Cu(LH^–2)(H₂O)] are the predominant species in solution under these conditions.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2270–2275, October, 1991.     

Voltamperometry of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives
