A multinuclear NMR study in the solid state and in solution of thallium(I) tris-(pyrazol-1-yl)borates (thallium scorpionates)

The ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopic properties of six thallium tris-(pyrazol-1-yl)borates, including a tetrakis derivative, were determined. The results in solution were necessary to understand those, more complicated, in the solid state. A collection of ²⁰⁵Tl-¹⁵N and ²⁰⁵Tl-¹³C couplings was measured in the latter state. Among those, a very large coupling constant (between 194 and 282 Hz) has been measured on the carbon at the position 4 of the pyrazole ring in several compounds and particularly for the cyclobutyl derivative [Tl(Tp^Cbu)]. It has been assigned to a direct interaction of the 4-C-H ? Tl type and related to the X-ray structures, when available.     

Invertomers at nitrogen in aziridine carboxylates by mltltinuclear (1H,13C,17O,and15N) NMR study

A confrgurational and conformational study of NH, N-acetyl- and N-sulfonylaziridine carboxylates is performed by¹H ,¹³C,¹⁷O, and¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy. The presence of acetyl and su fonyl groups on the ring nitrogen atom seems to reduce greatly the configurational stability at nitrogen.Published in Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1226–1234, September, 1995.     

Mercury(II) cyanide complexes with alkyldiamines: solid-state/solution NMR,computational, and antimicrobial studies

Mercury cyanide complexes of alkyldiamines (1–6), [Hg(L)(CN)₂] (where L?=?en (1,2-diaminoethane), pn (1,3-diaminopropane), N-Me-en, N, N′-Me₂-en, N, N′-Et₂-en, and N, N′-ipr₂-en), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N solution NMR in DMSO-d₆, as well as ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Complexes 1 and 2 have been studied computationally, built and optimized by GAUSSIAN03 using DFT at B3LYP level with LanL2DZ basis set. Binding modes of en and bn (where bn?=?1,4-diaminobutane) toward Hg(CN)₂ are completely different. Complexes with en and pn show chelating binding to Hg(II), while bn behaves as a bridging ligand to form a polymeric structure, [Hg(CN)₂-bn]_∞ [B.A. Al-Maythalony, M. Fettouhi, M.I.M. Wazeer, A.A. Isab. Inorg. Chem. Commun., 12, 540 (2009).]. The solution ¹³C NMR of the complexes demonstrates a slight shift of the ?C≡N (0.9 to 2?ppm) and ?C–NH₂ (0.25 to 6?ppm) carbon resonances, while the other resonances are relatively unaffected. ¹⁵N labeling studies have shown involvement of alkyldiamine ligands in coordination to the metal. The principal components of the ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg shielding tensors have been determined from solid-state NMR data. Antimicrobial activity studies show that the complexes exhibit higher antibacterial activities toward various microorganisms than Hg(CN)₂.     

1H and 13C NMR characterization of new cycloartane triterpenes from Mangifera indica

From the stem bark of Mangifera indica, seven cycloartane‐type secondary metabolites were isolated. Compound 1 has been isolated for the first time from M. indica, whereas compounds 2 (2a and 2b, as an epimeric mixture), 3, and 4 are new triterpenoid‐type cycloartanes. Unambiguous ¹³C and ¹H NMR assignments for these compounds and the known compounds mangiferonic acid (compound 5), isomangiferolic acid (compound 6), ambolic acid (compound 7), and friedelin (compound 8) are reported; the latter because full NMR data for these compounds are not available in the literature.

Synthesis and Hydrolysis of Hybridized Silicon Alkoxide: Si(OEt)x(OBut)4-x. Part I: Synthesis and Identification of the Si(OEt)x(OBut)4-x

Using silicon tetrachloride (SiCl₄), tert-butanol (t-BuOH), ethanol (EtOH) and NH₃, the hybridized silicon ethoxide 3-tert-butoxide (Si(OEt)_x(OBu^t)_4-x) was synthesized and the configuration of the material was investigated by FT-IR,¹ H and ¹³C NMR and gas chromatogram/mass spectrum (GC/MS) techniques. The results confirm that both the ethoxy and the tert-butoxy groups have been attached to silicon atoms. Furthermore, the alkoxy group types and their relative amounts in the alkoxide were also determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR and GC/MS.     

Some Considerations about the Structure of 3(5)-Methylpyrazole

The behavior of neat 3(5)-methylpyrazole has been studied at low temperatures by DSC and by NMR (¹³C and ¹⁵N). The main conclusion is that the supercooled liquid is a mixture of four trimers formed by 3-methyl and 5-methyl tautomers.     

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.     

Solution structure of bis(acetoxy)iodoarenes as observed by O NMR spectroscopy

A group of para-substituted bis(acetoxy)iodoarenes has been studied by ¹⁷O and ¹³C NMR. Only one signal for all the oxygens of the acetoxy groups has been observed. Both ¹⁷O and ¹³C chemical shifts of this group show a strong invariance with para substitution. The absence of covalent I-O bonds and an ion pair structure is proposed for the title compounds.     

Reactions of (E)-4-Stilbenethiole with Dibromoalkanes

New substituted stilbenes have been prepared by reactions of (E)-4-stilbenethiole with dibromoalkanes. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of new compounds have been assigned unambiguously on the basis of a combination of homo- (¹H?¹H COSY) and heteronuclear (¹ H?¹³C COSY-HETCOR) two-dimensional methods, chemical shifts, and spin-coupling constants.     

Bis(Diethyldithiocarbamato)Antimony(III) Derivatives with Oxygen- and Sulfur-Donor Ligands: Synthesis,Esi-Mass,and Spectral Characterization

Abstract

Replacement reactions of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)antimony(III) chloride have been carried out with oxygen and sulfur donor ligands such as disodium oxalate, sodium acetate, sodium salicylate, benzoic acid, thioglycolic acid, acetylacetone, thiphenol, ethane-1,2-dithiol, and 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol to give mixed bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)antimony(III) derivatives of the corresponding ligands. These derivatives have been characterized by the physicochemical [melting point and molecular weight determination, elemental analysis (C, H, N, S, and Sb)], spectral [FT-IR, far-IR, NMR (¹H and ¹³C)], ESI-mass, powder XRD, and SEM studies.

The structure of 1-formyl-3-phenyl-Δ-pyrazoline in the gas phase (DFT calculations), in solution (NMR) and in the solid state (X-ray crystallography)

The molecular structure of 1-formyl-3-phenyl-Δ²-pyrazoline was determined by X-ray crystallography (triclinic, P-1). The geometry thus obtained was compared with that obtained by DFT calculations. The GIAO method was used to calculate absolute shieldings, which agree conveniently with those measured by ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR. The title compound appears to be an essentially planar molecule.     

Synthesis and spectral characterization of some complexes of platinum(II) containing η-methyleugenol

Several complexes of the formula trans-[Pt(Meug)(Am)Cl₂], Meug: methyleugenol (4-allyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene), a η²-coordinated olefin, and Am: ammine, methylamine, diethylamine, o-toluidine, m-toluidine, p-toluidine, o-anisidine, m-anisidine and p-anisidine have been prepared. UV, IR, Raman, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and 2D NMR spectra of the complexes were recorded and analyzed.     

Structure of red and orange fluorescein

The structures of colorless, red, and yellow-orange fluorescein have been investigated by a combination of solution and solid state¹³C NMR. It is demonstrated that the three forms have lactonic, zwitterionic, and quinoid structures, respectively. Conflicting X-ray, NMR, and IR structural evidence is discussed for samples of red fluorescein which cannot readily be obtained in definite crystalline form. It is concluded that solid-state¹³C NMR spectroscopy is superior by revealing primarily the molecular structure but being fairly insensitive toward lattice variations.The Editors regret the long delay in having this paper printed due to an unfortunate administrative error.     

Condensed heterotricycles: Pyrido(1,2,3- de )(1,4)benzoxazines, pyrido(1,2,3- ef )(1,5)benzoxazepines and pyrido(1,2,3- fg )(1,6) benzoxazocines

Cyclization of N-(2-haloacyl)-8-hydroxy-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroqumolines4–7 and9 with alkali affords pyridobenzoxazinones21–24 and26 respectively and of the 4-chlorobutyramide13 with NaH, the benzoxazocinone31. Exposure of 3-chloropropionamide12 to NaH affords acrylamide15, benzoxazepinone28 or methyl benzoxazinone22 or mixtures thereof under various conditions.28 undergoes rapid base-catalysed ring contraction to22. NaH-catalysed ring closure of acrylamide15 affords mixtures of22 and28, while from the crotonamides16 and17, the methylbenzoxazepinones29 and30 are obtained preponderantly, the former amide yielding only traces of the ethyl benzoxazinone23.29 shows no propensity for ring contraction to give23. The cinnamoyl derivatives18,19 and20 are cyclized to benzyl benzoxazinones24,27 and25, respectively. The intermediacy of the phenyl benzoxazepinone39 in the formation of24 has been established by deuteration studies. Benzylidene benzoxazinone41 is obtained from dibromocinnamamide14 and propiolamide40. Dichloracetamides8 and10 undergo interesting ring closure to compounds45–54 upon treatment with amines. The course of electrophilic reactions of the lactams depends upon the ring size.

Synthesis and Reactivity of Fluoro(Organyl)Phosphanes

Abstract

A new method for producing fluoro(organyl) phosphanes is presented. They are prepared by Cl/F-exchange from the corresponding chloro compounds using Et₃N.nHF as a fluorinating agent. Phosphanyl fluorophospharanes, R₂P-PR₂F₂, are found to be intermediates of the disproportionation of Fluoro (diorganyl) phosphanes. R₂PF react with aldehydes to form phosphinito phosphoranes, R₂PF₂-CHR'-OPR₂. Oxaphospholenes are formed in their reaction with α, β- unsaturated aldehydes. Furthermore, the reactions with 1.2-diketones, carboxylic acid derivatives, and covalent azides are described.     

Synthesis, molecular conformation, vibrational and electronic transition, isometric chemical shift, polarizability and hyperpolarizability analysis of 3-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-acrylonitrile: a combined experimental and theoretical analysis

This work presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel compound, 3-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-acrylonitrile (abbreviated as 3-(4MP)-2-(4-NP)-AN, C₁₆H₁₂N₂O₃). The spectroscopic properties of the compound were examined by FT-IR, UV–vis and NMR (¹H and ¹³C) techniques. FT-IR spectrum in solid state was observed in the region 4000–400 cm⁻¹. The UV–vis absorption spectrum of the compound which dissolved in chloroform was recorded in the range of 200–800 nm. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl₃ solution. To determine lowest-energy molecular conformation of the title molecule, the selected torsion angle is varied every 10° and molecular energy profile is calculated from 0° to 360°. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set. The dipole moment, linear polarizability and first hyperpolarizability values were also computed using the same basis set. A study on the electronic properties, such as HOMO and LUMO energies, were performed by time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. The HOMO and LUMO analysis were used to elucidate information regarding charge transfer within the molecule. The vibrational wavenumbers were calculated and scaled values were compared with experimental FT-IR spectrum. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the experimental results and total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. Isotropic chemical shifts were calculated using the gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method. Comparison of the calculated frequencies, NMR chemical shifts, absorption wavelengths with the experimental values revealed that DFT and TD-DFT method produce good results. The linear polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilities of the studied molecule indicate that the title compound can be used as a good nonlinear optical material. The thermodynamic properties of the studied compound at different temperatures were calculated, revealing the correlations between standard heat capacity, standard entropy, standard enthalpy changes and temperatures.     

Gold(III)pentafluorophenylarylazoimidazole: Synthesis and spectral (H, C, COSY, HMQC NMR) characterisation

Reaction of [Au^III(C₆F₅)₃(tht)] with RaaiR′ in dichloromethane medium leads to [Au^III(C₆F₅)₃ (RaaiR′)] [RaaiR′=p-R-C₆H₄-N=N-C₃H₂-NN-l-R′, (1-3), R = H (a), Me (b), Cl (c) and R′= Me (1), CH₂CH₃ (2), CH₂Ph (3), tht is tetrahydrothiophen]. The nine new complexes are characterised by ES/MS as well as FAB, IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H,¹³C,¹⁹F) spectroscopic studies. In addition to dimensional NMR studies as¹H,¹H COSY and¹H¹³C HMQC permit complete assignment of the complexes in the solution phase.     

Conformational behaviour ofZ-Pro-(thr)Ox-OMe in solution

The dipeptideZ-Pro-(thr)Ox-OMe was studied with respect to its conformation in solution using NMR spectroscopic methods. It is shown that two conformers exist at room temperature which are related to each other by acis-trans—isomerization of theZ-Pro—peptide bond. The free energy of activation of the process is estimated.Dedicated to Prof. Dr.A. Neckel on the occasion of his 60th birthday.     

Sequence Distribution of Poly(methyl acrylate) by Incremental Calculation

The carbonyl signal in the 100 MHz ¹³C NMR spectra of poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) recorded in benzene-d₆ exhibits configurational sensitivity up to pentads, and the signal of backbone β-CH₂ carbons shows splitting up to configurational hexads with traces of octads. Assignment of the sequences to respective signals was confirmed by computer simulation of both carbonyl and methylene signals applying a method of incremental calculation of chemical shifts of individual sequences and second-order Markov statistics for sequence probabilities.     

Cp2Ti{[OC(O)C5H4]Cr(CO)2NO]}2 and Cp2Ti{[(OC(O)C5H4]Cr(NO)2X}2 syntheses and spectra of chromium-titanium complexes bridged by carboxylate substituted cyclopentadienyl group

Complete demethylation of Cp₂Ti(CH₃)₂ in dichloromethane with 2 M equivalent of [η⁵-(C₅H₄COOH)]Cr(CO)₂NO (5), [η⁵-(C₅H₄COOH)]Cr(NO)₂X] (X = Cl 6, X = I 7), and [η⁵-(C₅H₄COOH)]W(CO)₃CH₃ (8); gives Cp₂Ti{[OC(O)C₅H₄]Cr(CO)₂NO}₂ (13), Cp₂Ti{[OC(O)C₅H₄]Cr(NO)₂Cl}₂ (14), Cp₂Ti{[OC(O)C₅H₄]Cr(NO)₂I}₂ (15),and Cp₂Ti{[OC(O)C₅H₄]W(CO)₃CH₃}₂ (16), respectively. The chemical shifts of C(2)-C(5) carbon atoms of compounds 13-15 have been assigned using two-dimensional HetCOR NMR spectroscopy. The assigned chemical shifts were compared with the NMR data of their analogues of ferrocene, and the opposite correlation on the assignments was observed for cynichrodenoyl moieties.
