Kinetics of thermoinitiated oligomerization of 3,3′-(2,4,6-triethyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole)

The crystal structure of 3,3′-(2,4,6-triethyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole), which models the cross-linking fragment of polynitriles by benzodinitrile oxides, was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The kinetic regularities of its thermoinitiated oligomerization were studied by isothermal calorimetry and spectrophotometry. The process proceeds with self-acceleration, and the Arrhenius dependences of the initial and maximum reaction rates were determined. The reaction accelaration is determined by an increase in the viscosity of the reaction medium. Possible mechanisms were proposed for oligomerization.     

Pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid complexes of nickel(II) with 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline coligands; syntheses,crystal structures,spectroscopic and thermal studies

Two pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (pydcH₂) complexes of nickel(II) with 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized and characterized by elemental, spectroscopic, thermal analysis, magnetic measurements and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Both [Ni(pydc)(bipy)₂]·7H₂O and [Ni(pydc)(phen)₂]·6.5H₂O crystallize in the monoclinic system and P2₁/c space group. The Ni(II) ions are coordinated by two bidentate bipy or phen ligands and one pydc dianion in a distorted octahedral geometry. The pydc ligand is coordinated through the pyridine nitrogen atom and oxygen atom of carboxyl group as a bidentate ligand. Both carboxylate groups of pydc are deprotonated but only the 2-carboxylate is coordinated to the metal. Thermal decompositions of the complexes have been studied over the range 30–600 °C on heating in a static air atmosphere.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,spectroscopic and thermal investigations of neodymium(III) biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate framework

The three-dimensional complex {[Nd(bpdc)_1.5(DMF)]·1.4DMF}_n (DMF=N,N′-dimethylformamide, bpdc=biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate) was synthesized using the solvothermal method. The crystal structure of the neodymium(III) complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 100(2) K. The polymeric structure consists of neodymium polyhedra bridged by bpdc ligands. Eight-coordinated Nd(III) atoms are surrounded by seven oxygen atoms from six bpdc moieties and one oxygen atom from the DMF molecule. The 3D structure of the complex contains two types of channels occupied by DMF molecules. Thermal analysis revealed that DMF molecules are lost in a stepwise manner. The infrared spectrum confirmed full deprotonation of acid and presence of DMF molecules in the structure.

Synthesis,characterization and properties of 3,3′-diethyl-1,1′-oxydiethylenedicarbonyl bis(thiourea)

In this paper, 3,3′-diethyl-1,1′-oxydiethylenedicarbonyl bis(thiourea) (DEOECTU), was synthesized by phase transfer catalysis and then characterized by UV, elemental analysis, infrared spectra, mass spectrum, ¹H NMR and TGA. DEOECTU properties, such as response to metal ions, adsorption on sulfide mineral surfaces, and hydrometallurgical performance as flotation collectors, were also investigated. The results indicated that DEOECTU reacted chemically with Cu²⁺ ions through its S and N atoms in the C(=S)–NH–C(=O) group to form a new chelate compound, but no reaction of DEOECTU with Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺, Fe³⁺ or Fe²⁺ ions was observed. The results of adsorption and flotation experiments demonstrated, that compared to pyrite, sphalerite and galena, DEOECTU exhibited a superior collecting power for chalcopyrite and might attach on chalcopyrite surface by chemisorption. The further theoretical analysis from Pearson’s HSAB view point briefly explained the experimental results of the selective response of DEOECTU to Cu²⁺ ions and chalcopyrite.     

Synthesis,structure, and magnetic property of Co(II)-based metal–organic framework with 4,4′-oxy bis(benzoate) ligand

A 2-D coordination polymer, [Co(OBA)₂]_∞ (OBA?=?4,4′-oxy bis(benzoate)), where OBA ligands bridge cobalt in a terminal fashion to build up a 2-D layer structure with strong hydrogen-bonding interaction was isolated and structurally characterized from the reaction of OBA with Co(OAc)₂?·?4H₂O. Magnetic data indicate the Co(II) centers in 1 are negligibly magnetically coupled to each other and the single-ion magnetic behavior of Co(II) in octahedral environment is dominated at low temperature to give an effective S?′?=?1/2 ground state from S?=?3/2 state due to spin–orbit coupling.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization,thermal, and photostability studies of 2-(2′-hydroxy-5′-phenyl)-5-aminobenzotriazole complexes

Three Mn(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) new transition metal complexes of the fluorescence dye: 2-(2′-hydroxy-5′-phenyl)-5-aminobenzotriazole/PBT derived from o-aminophenol and m-phenylenediamine have been synthesized. The structural interpretations were confirmed from elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility and molar conductivity, as well as from mass, IR, UV–Vis spectral studies. From the analytical, spectroscopic, and thermal data, the stoichiometry of the mentioned complexes was found to be 1:2 (metal:ligand). The molar conductance data revealed that all the metal chelates are non-electrolytes and the chloride ions exist inside the coordination sphere. The thermal stabilities of these complexes were studied by thermogravimetric (TG/DTG) and the decomposition steps of these three complexes are investigated. The kinetic parameters such as the energy of activation (E*), pre-exponential factor (A), activation entropy (ΔS*), activation enthalpy (ΔH*), and free energy of activation (ΔG*) have been reported. Photostability of phenyl benzotriazole as fluorescence dye and their metal complexes doped in polymethyl methacrylate/PMMA were exposed to UV–Vis radiation and the change in the absorption spectra was achieved at different times during irradiation period.

Cadmium(II) diallyldithiocarbamato complexes with 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline: spectroscopic and crystal structure analysis

Complexes of Cd(II) with diallyldithiocarbamato (hereafter denoted aldtc) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) are discussed. Derivatives of general formula [Cd(aldtc)₂(NN)] [NN = bipy, 1 and phen, 2] have been obtained by direct reaction between Cd(NO₃)₂ and a 2 : 1 molar ratio of aldtc and NN. The new complexes have been characterized by IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Their single crystal structures were also determined. Compounds 1 and 2 have severely distorted octahedral coordination around cadmium, defined by an N₂S₄ donor set. The structure of 1 is isomorphous with the recently reported zinc analogue. The crystal packing of 1 shows different non-classical intermolecular interactions represented in both hydrophilic (π)C–H ··· S and hydrophobic (allyl)C–H ··· C(π) intermolecular interactions. Such interactions result in a chain arrangement of molecules along the crystallographic c-axis. These chains are further connected via π ··· π stacking along with (π)C–H ··· S parallel to b leading to an overall crystal packing that can be regarded as layers of complexes along the bc plane. Molecules in the crystal structure of 2 are arranged into infinite chains, down the b-axis, that are connected by aryl ··· aryl stacking. The chains are further connected to each other in a and c directions via (allyl)C–H ··· S interactions.

One-dimensional coordination polymer of copper(I) thiocyanate with the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)butane-1,4-diamine: synthesis, crystal structure, spectroscopic and thermal properties

Abstract  

A new one-dimensional polymeric copper(I)–thiocyanate complex with the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)butane-1,4-diamine, {Cu₂((μ _N,N′ -3,4-MeO-ba)₂bn)(μ_1,3-NCS)₂} _n , was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, FT–IR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. The thermal behavior of the complex was studied using thermogravimetry in order to evaluate thermal stability and thermal decomposition pathways. The molecular structure of the complex was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction which revealed that the coordination geometry around the copper(I) ion is distorted trigonal. The Schiff base ligand (3,4-MeO-ba)₂bn acts as a bis-monodentate and bridging ligand (μ _N,N′ ) and coordinates via two N atoms to the metal centers and adopts an E,E conformation. The coordination spheres of the metal atoms are completed by the N and S atoms from two thiocyanate anion bridges (μ_1,3-NCS), forming a zigzag chain propagating along [001].
