Molecular recognition on supramolecular systems (XXXV)

A novel β-cyclodextrin derivative4 bearing a pyridinio group on the primary side was synthesized by the reaction of 2-aminopyridine with 6-β-cyclodextrin monoaldehyde3, and its complexation stability constants with several aliphatic amino acids have been determined in phosphate buffer solution ( pH = 7.2, 0.1 mol·L⁻¹) at 25 °C by using spectrofluormetric titrations. The stoichiometry is 1:1 for the inclusion complexation of amino acids with compound4. Circular dichroism study indicates that the aromatic moiety was embedded shallowly into the cyclodextrin cavity. As a spectral probe, the pyridinio group in the modified cyclodextrin can recognize not only differences of the size and shape of amino acid molecules, but also theL/D-amino acid chiral isomer. As compared with mono-[6-(1-pyridinio)-6-deoxy]-β-cyclodextrin5, compound4 switched the enantiomer preference forL- toD-isomer, and showed the highest enantioselectivity of 5.4 forD/L-serine. These results are discussed from the viewpoints of geometric compensation, induced-fit concept and cooperation of several weak interactions.     

Fluoraustauschreaktionen an Metalltrifluorphosphin-Komplexen. IX. Zum Reaktionsverhalten von Tetrakis(trifluorphosphin)nickel(0) gegenüber Alkyl(trimethylsilyl)aminen und -amiden

Fluorine Exchange in Trifluorophosphine Metal Complexes. IX¹. (Reactions of Tetrakis(trifluorophosphine)nickel(0) with Alkyl(trimethylsilyl)amines and Amides²) Alkylaminodifluorophosphine complexes Ni(PF₃)_4-n(PF₂NHR)_n (n = 1, 2, 3) 8–11 and Me₃SiF are obtained, if alkyl(trimethylsilyl)amines NHR(SiMe₃) (R?CH₃ and n-C₄H₉) are reacted with Ni(PF₃)₄ ( 1 ). The mechanism of these peripheric reactions is discussed by assuming a four centered type intermediate. However reactions of 1 with the lithium amides LiNR(SiMe₃) (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, n-C₄H₉, and C₆H₅) yield LiF and the difluorotrimethylsilylaminophosphine complexes Ni(PF₃)_4-n[PF₂NR(SiMe₃)]_n (n = 1, 3, 4) 12–18 .     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Silicium-Schwefel-Verbindungen. XXXV. Das dimere Thallium(I)-tri-tert-butoxysilanthiolat

Contributions to the Chemistry of Silicon-Sulfur Compounds. XXXV. The Dimeric Thallium(I)-tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolate Thallium(I)-tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolate is formed as a dimer by reaction of tri-tert-butoxysilanethiol with TlNO₃. The compound crystallizes as colourless triclinic plates. F.I. mass spectra show only the mass of the dimeric species (m/e = 968), in the E.I. mass spectra, however, also the peak for the monomeric unit (m/e = 484) is observed. The molecule is of 1 /C_i symmetry. The central four-membered ring is plane, the bond distances and angles therein are d (Tl? S) = 289 pm and S/Tl/S = 91.5°. The Tl atoms are additionally coordinated by an oxygen atom of the tri-tert-butoxysilyl group (d(Tl? O) = 280 pm). The mean bond angle at the threebonded sulfur atom was found to be 90° (d(S? Si) = 207.8 pm). Related details of the structure are discussed (space group P1 ; a = 927.5 pm, b = 1395.1 pm, c = 882.1 pm; α = 108.43°, β = 116.77°, γ = 90.98°; Z = 2; R = 0.032; 2887 reflections hkl).

Functional monomers and polymers. XXXV. Oxidation of hydroquinone catalyzed by Cu(II)–polyelectrolyte complexes

Oxidation of hydroquinone catalyzed by copper(II) complexes of poly-1-vinylimidazole, vinylamine-vinylacetamide copolymer, and polyethyleneimine was studied in aqueous solution at 25°C. The rate of oxidation was determined spectrophotometrically over several pH values. The rate of copper(II) reduction was evaluated from copper(I)–cuproin complex formation, and the reoxidation of copper(I) to copper(II) was observed by visible spectroscopy. Among the copper(II) complexes, poly-1-vinylimidazole complex exhibited excellent catalytic activity, which amounted to over 20 times that of aqueous copper(II) ion solution, while the reduction of copper(II) in the former system was slower than that in the latter system. The reoxidation of copper(I) to copper(II) was found to be completed immediately in the presence of polymer ligands such as poly-1-vinylimidazole, while copper(I) ion was only slowly reoxidized. The discussion of the reaction mechanism emphasizes the importance of the reoxidation process.     

Berberis alkaloids XXXV. The structure of nummularine

The new N-benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid nummularine has been isolated from the leaves ofBerberis nummularia. On the basis of a study of its spectral characteristics (PMR, IR, and mass spectra), the structure of nummularine has been established as 6-hydroxy-N-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl)-7-methoxy-1-methyltetrahydroisoquinoline.Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 33, No. 1, pp. 91–93, January–February, 1997.     

Pseudoesters and Derivatives XXXV. Reactions of 4-Substituted-5-(Ethylthio)Furan-2(5H)-Ones Anions with Alkylating Agents

Alkylation of anions derived from 5-ethylthio-4-substituted furanones (1–3) is described. The regioselectivity depends on the alkylating agent but mainly on the nature of the substituent. The alkylation of 4-methoxyfuranone 3 proceeds regioselectively to afford the 5-alkylated derivative as sole product.     

Kinetic Analyis of TG Data XXXV. Spectroscopic and thermal studies of some cobalt(III) chelates with ethylenediamine

A number of 30 [Co(en)₃ ]Y₃ , [Co(en)₂ X₂ ]Y and [Co(en)₂ X(amine)]Y₂ type complexes (X =Cl, Br; Y =Cl, Br, I, NCO, NCS, NO₃ , ClO₄ , etc.; amine =aromatic and alkylamines) were obtained from trans-[Co(en)₂ Cl₂ ]Cl by double decomposition and by substitution reactions, respectively. The structure of the complexes was proved by means of far and middle FTIR spectra. The thermal decomposition was studied by TG, DTA and DSC measurements. Mass spectra were also recorded. In the case of [Co(en)₃ ]Y₃ complexes the nitrate, perchlorate and dimesoperiodates decompose suddenly, frequently explosion like. The halides and thiocyanates seem to substitute an ethylenediamine ligand, yielding a rather unstable intermediate. The pyrolysis of [Co(en)₂ X₂ ]Y type derivatives yields no relatively stable intermediates, but the decomposition temperatures may be correlated with the nature of Y and with the cis or trans configuration of the compound. With the [Co(en)₂ X(amine)]Y₂ type complexes one observes the formation of [Co(en)₂ XY]Y as intermediate product. From the TG curves kinetic parameters were derived for some dehydration and deamination processes, by using the nomogram method. The validity of a non-linear kinetic compensation law was observed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Porphyrins XXXV . Exciton coupling in μ-oxo Scandum dimers

The absorption and emission spectra at room temperature and at 77 K are reported for the monomers and μ-oxo dimers of (OEP)Sc(III) and (TPP)Sc(III). [Here (OEP) is octaethylporphin and (TPP) is tetraphenylporphin.] Exciton coupling effects are strongest in the B(Soret) band of [(OEP)Sc]₂O dimer: (i) The peak is blue shifted by 11 nm; (ii) the Soret band has a long red tail out to 480 mn; (iii) the fluorescence polarization shows a broad negativ band ≈ 440 nm. A vibronic exciton coupling model can roughly interpret the data if there is substantial and variable tilting of the ring planes. Exciton effects are weaker in the B(Soret) band of [(TPP)SC]₂O, presumably because there is less tilting. The effect of dimer formation on the Q band of [(OEP)Scl₂O is to red shift the band ≈ 420 cm^?1 and to nearly double the Q(0,0) halfwidth; there is no change in fluorescence yield with dimerization. Presumably for Q bands exciton coupling is weaker than inhomogeneous broadening. Both the phosphorescence yield and triplet lifetime at 77 K drop by $\text{case2}\text{3}$ in the dimer, showing faster radiationless decay.
