Unimolecular reactions of the isolated immonium ions CH3CH = NH+C4H9, CH3CH2Ch = NH+C4H9 and (CH3)2C = NH+C4H9

The reactions of ten metastable immonium ions of general structure R¹R²C?NH⁺C₄H₉ (R¹ = H, R² = CH₃, C₂H₅; R¹ = R² = CH₃) are reported and discussed. Elimination of C₄H₈ is usually the dominant fragmentation pathway. This process gives rise to a Gaussian metastable peak; it is interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving ion-neutral complexes containing incipient butyl) cations. Metastable immonium ions ontaining an isobutyl group are unique in undergoing a minor amount of imine (R¹R²C?NH) loss. This decomposition route, which also produces a Gaussian metastable peak, decreases in importance as the basicity of the imine increases. The correlation between imine loss and the presence of an isobutyl group is rationalized by the rearrangement of the appropriate ion-neutral complexes in which there are isobutyl cations to the isomeric complexes containing the thermodynamically more stable tert-butyl cations. A sizeable amount of a third reaction, expulsion of C₃H₆, is observed for metastable n-C₄H₉ ⁺NH?CR¹R² ions; in contrast to C₄H₈ and R¹R²C?NH loss, C₃H₆ elimination occurs with a large kinetic energy release (40–48 kJ mol^?1) and is evidenced by a dish-topped metastable peak. This process is explained using a two-step mechanism involving a 1,5-hydride shift, followed by cleavage of the resultant secondary open-chain cations, CH₃CH⁺ CH₂CH₂NHCHR¹R².     

Substituted N-picolylethylenediamines of the type (ArNHCH2CH2){(2-C5H4N)CH2}NR [R = Me, 4-CH2=CH(C6H4)CH2, (2-C5H4N)CH2] and their transition metal(II) halide complexes

Alkylation of (ArNHCH2CH2){(2-C5H4N)CH2}NH with RX [RX = MeI, 4-CH2=CH(C6H4)CH2Cl) and (2-C5H5N)CH2Cl] in the presence of base has allowed access to the sterically demanding multidentate nitrogen donor ligands, {(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)NHCH2CH2}{(2-C5H4N)CH2}NMe (L1), {(2,6-Me3C6H3)NHCH2CH2}{(2-C5H4N)CH2}NCH2(C6H4)-4-CH=CH2 (L2) and (ArNHCH2CH2){(2-C5H4N)CH2}2N (Ar = 2,4-Me2C6H3 L3a, 2,6-Me2C6H3 L3b) in moderate yield. L3 can also be prepared in higher yield by the reaction of (NH2CH2CH2){(2-C5H4N)CH2}2N with the corresponding aryl bromide in the presence of base and a palladium(0) catalyst. Treatment of L1 or L2 with MCl2 [MCl2 = CoCl2.6H2O or FeCl2(THF)1.5] in THF affords the high spin complexes [(L1)MCl2](M = Co 1a, Fe 1b) and [(L2)MCl2](M = Co 2a, Fe 2b) in good yield, respectively; the molecular structure of reveals a five-coordinate metal centre with bound in a facial fashion. The six-coordinate complexes, [(L3a)MCl2](M = Co 3a, Fe 3b, Mn 3c) are accessible on treatment of tripodal L3a with MCl2. In contrast, the reaction with the more sterically encumbered leads to the pseudo-five-coordinate species [(L3b)MCl2](M = Co 4a, Fe 4b) and, in the case of manganese, dimeric [(L3b)MnCl(mu-Cl)]2 (4c); in 4a and 4b the aryl-substituted amine arm forms a partial interaction with the metal centre while in 4c the arm is pendant. The single crystal X-ray structures of , 1a, 3b.MeCN, 3c.MeCN, 4b.MeCN and 4c are described as are the solution state properties of 3b and 4b.     

Delta(DeltaS) and Delta(DeltaS) for the competing bond cleavage reactions in (CH3CN)(ROH)H+ [R = CH3, C2H5, C3H7, (CH3)2CH

Microcanonical variational transition-state theory was used to determine the entropies of activation for hydrogen-bond cleavage reactions leading to CH(3)CN + ROH(2)(+) in a series of acetonitrile-alcohol proton-bound pairs (CH(3)CN)(ROH)H(+) (where R = CH(3), CH(3)CH(2), CH(3)CH(2)CH(2), and (CH(3))(2)CH). In each case, the dissociation potential surface was modelled at the MP2/6-31 + G(d) level of theory. The dissociating configurations having the minimum sums-of-states were identified in each case and the resulting entropies of activation were calculated. Combined with previous work on the competing reaction leading to CH(3)CNH(+) + ROH, the results permitted the determination of the Delta(DeltaS) in each proton-bound pair. For the (CH(3)CN)(CH(3)OH)H(+) and (CH(3)CN)(CH(3)CH(2)OH)H(+) proton-bound pairs, the entropies of activation for the two dissociating channels are essentially the same [i.e., Delta(DeltaS) = 0], while Delta(DeltaS) for the propanol-containing pairs ranged between 40 and 45 J K(-1) mol(-1). The latter non-zero values are due to a combination of the location of the dividing surface in each dissociation and the rapidity with the frequencies of the vanishing vibrational modes go to zero as they are converted to product translations and rotations during the dissociation.     

Copper(II) and Nickel(II) Alkylxanthate Complexes (R = C2H5, i-C3H7, i-C4H9, s-C4H9, and C5H11): EPR and Solid-State 13C CP/MAS NMR Studies

Alkylxanthate complexes of the general formula [M{S(S)COR}₂] (M = Ni, ⁶³Cu, and ⁶⁵Cu; R = C₂H₅, i-C₃H₇, i-C₄H₉, s-C₄H₉, and C₅H₁₁) were synthesized and studied by EPR and high-resolution solid-state ¹³C CP/MAS NMR. In the copper(II) complexes stabilized in the matrix of nickel(II) compounds, square planar chromophores [CuS₄] are characterized by rhombic distortion (EPR data). Experimental EPR spectra were simulated at the second order of perturbation theory. Nickel(II) complexes were characterized by ¹³C NMR spectra. In all cases, the –OC(S)S– groups were found to exhibit intramolecular structural equivalence.     

Dialkylindiumacetate R2InOOCCH3 (R = CH3, C2H5) Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Struktur

Dialkylindium Acetates R₂InOOCCH₃ (R = CH₃, C₂H₅). Preparation, Properties, and Structure. Dimethyl- and diethylindium acetate were prepared and the vibrational spectra (IR and RAMAN ) discussed. The X-ray structure determination shows that diethylindium acetate belongs to the orthorhombic space group Pnma. The unit cell with lattice constants a = 8.40, b = 7.41, c = 15.13 Å contains four molecules. Each indium atom forms with an acetate group a planar four-membered ring. The indium-oxygen distance within such a ring is only a little shorter than the distance of this oxygen to the indium of the next neighboured ring. Indium has therefore the coordination number six.

Spectroscopic detection and theoretical confirmation of the role of Cr2(CO)5(C5R5)2 and .Cr(CO)2(ketene)(C5R5) as intermediates in carbonylation of N=N=CHSiMe3 to O=C=CHSiMe3 by .Cr(CO)3(C5R5) (R = H, CH3)

Conversion of N=N=CHSiMe3 to O=C=CHSiMe3 by the radical complexes .Cr(CO)3C5R5 (R = H, CH3) derived from dissociation of [Cr(CO)3(C5R5)]2 have been investigated under CO, Ar, and N2 atmospheres. Under an Ar or N2 atmosphere the reaction is stoichiometric and produces the Cr[triple bond]Cr triply bonded complex [Cr(CO)2(C5R5)]2. Under a CO atmosphere regeneration of [Cr(CO)3(C5R5)]2 (R = H, CH3) occurs competitively and conversion of diazo to ketene occurs catalytically as well as stoichiometrically. Two key intermediates in the reaction, .Cr(CO)2(ketene)(C5R5) and Cr2(CO)5(C5R5)2 have been detected spectroscopically. The complex .Cr(13CO)2(O=13C=CHSiMe3)(C5Me5) has been studied by electron spin resonance spectroscopy in toluene solution: g(iso) = 2.007; A(53Cr) = 125 MHz; A(13CO) = 22.5 MHz; A(O=13C=CHSiMe3) = 12.0 MHz. The complex Cr2(CO)5(C5H5)2, generated in situ, does not show a signal in its 1H NMR and reacts relatively slowly with CO. It is proposed to be a ground-state triplet in keeping with predictions based on high level density functional theory (DFT) studies. Computed vibrational frequencies are also in good agreement with experimental data. The rates of CO loss from 3Cr2(CO)5(C5H5)2 producing 1[Cr(CO)2(C5H5)]2 and CO addition to 3Cr2(CO)5(C5H5)2 producing 1[Cr(CO)3(C5H5)]2 have been measured by kinetics and show DeltaH approximately equal 23 kcal mol(-1) for both processes. Enthalpies of reduction by Na/Hg under CO atmosphere of [Cr(CO)n(C5H5)]2 (n = 2,3) have been measured by solution calorimetry and provide data for estimation of the Cr[triple bond]Cr bond strength in [Cr(CO)2(C5H5)]2 as 72 kcal mol(-1). The complex [Cr(CO)2(C5H5)]2 does not readily undergo 13CO exchange at room temperature or 50 degrees C implying that 3Cr2(CO)5(C5H5)2 is not readily accessed from the thermodynamically stable complex [Cr(CO)2(C5H5)]2. A detailed mechanism for metalloradical based conversion of diazo and CO to ketene and N2 is proposed on the basis of a combination of experimental and theoretical data.     

Schwingungsspektroskopische Untersuchungen an den Organohydrogensilanen (XCH2)(CH3)2SiH (X = Cl,Br, J), X(YO)2SiH (X = CH3, C2H5/Y = CH3, C2H5 … tert.-C4H9), (C6H5)2SiH2 und C6H5SiH3

Infrared and Raman Spectroscopic Investigations on the Organosubstituted Silicon Hydrides (XCH₂)(CH₃)₂SiH (X = Cl, Br, J), X(YO)₂SiH (X = CH₂, C₂H₅/Y = CH₃, C₂H₅ … tert.-C₄H₉), (C₆H₅)₂SiH₂ and C₆H₅SiH₃ Typical band splittings, specially for the SiH stretching vibration, are shown in the infrared and Raman spectra of the silicon hydrides (XCH₂)(CH₃)₂SiH (X = Cl, Br, J), and X(YO)₂SiH (X = CH₃, C₂H₅/Y = CH₃, C₂H₅ … tert.-C₄H₉). The cause of this behavior is in all probability the existence of rotational isomers. Raman polarization measurements at organosubstituted silicon di- and trihydrides demonstrate the accidental degeneracy of the SiH valence vibrations.     

Bildung und Eigenschaften von Li2P7R (R = Si(CH3)3, CH3, C(CH3)3)

Formation and Properties of Li₂P₇R (R = Si(CH₃)₃, CH₃, C(CH₃)₃) The reaction of P₇(Sime₃)₃ with Li₃P₇ in the molar ratio of 2:1 yields LiP₇(Sime₃)₂, and in the molar ratio of 1:2 Li₂P₇Sime₃ is formed. Li₂P₇me and Li₂P₇Cme₃ (me = CH₃) are obtained by reaction of white phosphorus with Lime, or LiCme₃, respectively [2]. The compounds Li₂P₇R (R = Sime₃, Cme₃, me) show typical valence tautomerism, as established by ³¹P-n.m.r. spectroscopy at various temperatures. Also LiP(Sime₃)₂ transforms P₇(Sime₃)₃ to yield Li₂P₇Sime₃ but in this reaction considerable cleavage of P? P bonds occurs, too.     

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

Alkyl telluraalkanoates CnH2n+1Te(CH2)mCOOR (R = CH3, C2H5 OR H)

Methyl telluraalkanoates, C_nH_2n+1Te(CH₂)_mCOOR (n, m: 4, 7; 6, 4; 6, 7; 6, 9; 7, 4; 8, 7; 11, 2; 11, 5; 18, 11) were synthesized in yields ranging from 33 to 82 percent based on the quantities of the methyl ω-bromoalkanoates substrates. Disodium ditelluride was obtained from tellurium and sodium in ethylenediamine and was treated with alkyl bromides to give dialkyl ditellurides. The crude ditellurides were reduced with NaBH₄ to the alkane tellurolates which were coupled with methyl ω-bromoalkanoates to give the methyl telluraalkanoates. Ethyl 4-tellurapentadecanoate was prepared similarly from ethyl 3-bromopropanoate. The telluraalkanoates were characterized by elemental analyses, mass spectrometry, NMR spectrometry, and UV and IR spectrophotometry. Telluraalkanoates radiolabeled with ^123mTe or other radioisotopes have been reported elsewhere to be preferentially taken up by the heart and promise to be useful as myocardial imaging agents.

Optically active transition-metal compounds: XXII. Stereochemistry and crystal structure determination of (η5-C5H5)CoI(NC4H3C(R)=N(S)-CH(CH3)(C6H5)) (R = H,CH3)

The crystal structures and absolute configurations of (η⁵-C₅H₅)-CoI(NC₄H₃-C(R)=N(S)-CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅)) (R = H, compound I; R = CH₃, compound II) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of compound I are orthorhombic, with a 11.084(6), b 12.107(6) and c 13.121(7) Å, space group ^P2₁2₁2₁ and d (calcd, Z = 4) 1.69 g cm^?3 The structure was solved by the Patterson technique and refined with use of full matrix least-squares methods to R(F) = 0.031 and R_w(F) = 0.028. Compound II is nearly isomorphous and isostructural; a 11.246(6), b 11.923(6) and c 13.370(7) Å, d(calc., Z = 4) 1.71 g cm^?3 and was refined to the final agreement factors of R(F) = 0.044 and R_w(F) = 0.035. The Co atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with Co-I 2.595(2) for I and 2.607(2) Å for II; Co-(η⁵-C₅H₅ ring centroid) 1.681(4) and 1.703(5) Å; Co-N(pyrrole) 1.905(9) and 1.885(9) Å; Co-N(imine) 1.971(8) and 2.003(9) Å, all the parameters being well within values found in the literature. The configuration around the chiral carbon of the phenylethylamine is S for both compounds, whereas the configuration around the metal is R in I and S in II. The different metal configurations in I and II have their origin in the two different substituents (R = H, CH₃) at the imine carbon atoms of the chelate ring, which induce completely different conformations of the (S)-CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) moiety in the two complexes. For both compounds the thermodynamically less stable isomer is enriched upon crystallization. Also, for compound I the solution and solid state conformations are almost opposite to each other, the conformation in the solid reflecting intramolecular interactions (phenyl/C₅H₅ attraction).     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Properties of Three New Complexes [Ni（C9N2O2H7）2（CH3OH）2],[Zn（C9N2O2H7）2（H2O）2] and [Cd（C9N2O2H7）2（CH3OH）2]

Three novel metal-organic complexes with formulas [Ni(C9N2O2H7)2(CH3OH)2](1),[Zn(C9N2O2H7)2(H2O)2](2) and [Cd(C9N2O2H7)2(CH3OH)2](3) were synthesized by the reactions of Ni,Zn and Cd salts with ethyl 2-benzimidazolylacetate under hydrothermal conditions or layering technique,and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis,IR spec-troscopy,solid-state luminescent properties and thermogravimetric(TG) analysis.The crystal data for these three complexes are as follows:for 1,monoclinic,space group P21/c,a = 9.384(3),b = 9.634(3),c = 11.292(3) ,β = 95.787(5)°,V = 1015.7(5) 3,Z = 2,F(000) = 492,Dc = 1.547 Kg/m3,μ = 1.002 mm-1,the final R = 0.0451 and wR = 0.0900 for 1833 observed reflections with Ⅰ 2σ(Ⅰ);for 2,orthorhombic,space group Pbca,a = 10.031(4),b = 10.379(4),c = 17.525(7),V = 1824.6(12) 3,Z = 4,F(000) = 928,Dc = 1.645 Kg/m3,μ = 1.392 mm-1,the final R = 0.0452 and wR = 0.0996 for 1661 observed reflections with Ⅰ 2σ(Ⅰ);for 3,monoclinic,space group P21/c,a = 9.9114(13),b =10.4852(15),c = 10.4120(14) ,β = 108.453(5)°,V = 1026.4(2) 3,Z = 2,F(000) = 532,Dc = 1.705 Kg/m3,μ = 1.110 mm-1,the final R = 0.0322 and wR = 0.0805 for 1822 observed reflections with Ⅰ 2σ(Ⅰ).In the three complexes,the ethyl 2-benzimidazolylacetate shows the same chelating mode,and the adjacent units are interlinked into a two-dimensional layer through hydrogen-bonds(O-H···O,N-H···O).     

ESR and solid-state natural abundance 13C CP/MAS NMR study of crystalline alkyl (R = C2H5, i-C3H7, i-C4H9, s-C4H9, and C5H11) xanthate copper(II) and thallium(I) complexes

Crystalline thallium(I) alkylxanthate complexes [Tl{S(S)COR}]_n (R = C₂H₅, i-C₃H₇, i-C₄H₉, s-C₄H₉, and C₅H₁₁) and isotope-substituted heteropolynuclear Cu(II)Tl(I) complexes [⁶³⁽⁶⁵⁾CuTl₆(S₂COR)₈] (R= i-C₄H₉ and C₅H₁₁) were obtained and studied by ESR and high-resolution solid-state ¹³C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy. According to the ¹³C NMR data, polynuclear thallium(I) complexes contain structurally equivalent alkylxanthate ligands. The ESR study revealed the Jahn-Teller dynamic effect in Cu(II)Tl(I) complexes; the nuclei of six Tl atoms are involved in the hyperfine interaction.Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 1, 2005, pp. 48–54.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Ivanov, Bredyuk, Antzutkin, Forsling.

Beiträge zur Chemie des Phosphors. 72. Über die Alkyl-cyclomonocarba-phosphane (PR)4CH2, R = CH3, C2H5, t-C4H9

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 72. About the Alkyl Cyclomonocarba Phosphanes (PR)₄CH₂, R = CH₃, C₂H₅, t-C₄H₉ The alkyl-substituted cyclomonocarbaphosphanes (PR)₄CH₂ (R = CH₃ 1 , C₂H₅ 2 , t-C₄H₉ 3 ) are obtained in very good yield by the reaction of the corresponding dipotassium alkylphosphides K₂(PR)_n (n = 2, 3, 4) with methylene chloride. Besides, small amounts of the homocyclic rings characteristic for the given substituent and of the five-membered cyclodicarbaphosphanes (PR)₃(CH₂)₂ with isolated CH₂ groups are formed. For the alkylcyclomonocarbaphosphanes 1 and 2 , configuration isomers could be identified for the first time. The “all-trans” forms are always predominant; the relative amounts of the other isomers decrease strongly with increasing number of cis relationships between the substituents at adjacent phosphorus atoms. The ³¹P n.m.r. parameters for three of the all together six isomers of 1 distinguishable by n.m.r. spectrometry and for the “all-trans” isomers of 2 and 3 are reported and discussed. A definite separation is possible between substituent and configuration influence on the chemical shifts as well as on the coupling constants.
