Syntheses,crystal structures,and spectral properties of Mn(II) and Co(II) complexes with 3-(p-chlorophenyl)- 4-(p-methylphenyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole

Two new complexes, trans-[MnL₂(NCS)₂] (1) and trans-[CoL₂(H₂O)(EtOH)](ClO₄)₂?·?H₂O (2) with asymmetrical triaryltriazole ligands [L?=?3-(p-chlorophenyl)-4-(p-methylphenyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, ESI-MS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the complexes each L adopts a chelating bidentate mode via the nitrogen of pyridyl and triazole. Both complexes have a similar distorted octahedral core with two NCS^? ions in the trans position in 1, while one H₂O and one EtOH are present in the axial sites in 2.     

Copper(II) complexes of potentially terdentate N2-[(R)-2-hydroxypropyl]- and N2-[(S)-2-hydroxypropyl]-(S)-phenylalaninamide for chiral recognition: Synthesis of the Ligands and Formation Constants

Copper(II) complexes of the ligands N²-[(R)-2-hydroxypropyl]- and N²-[(S)-2-hydroxypropyl]-(S)-phenylalaninamide performed chiral separation of N-dansyl-protected and unmodified amino acids in HPLC (reversed phase). With the aim of investigating which species are potentially involved in the discrimination mechanism, the two ligands were synthesized and their complexation equilibria with Cu²⁺ studied by potentiometry and spectrophotometry in aqueous solution up to pH 11.7. The formation constants of the species observed, [CuL]²⁺, [CuL₂]²⁺, [CuLH_–1]⁺, [CuL₂H_–1]⁺, [CuL₂H_–2], and [CuL₂H_–3]^?, were quite similar for both compounds and were compared to those of (S)-phenylalaninamide. Most probably, in [CuL₂H_–3]^? the ligands behave as terdentate, with the deprotonated OH group occupying an apical position.     

Palladium(II) complexes with 5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)-2,4-imidazolidenedione

Two new palladium(II) complexes with 5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)-2,4-imidazolidenedione(mpyh) were synthesized: cis-[Pd(mpyh)₂Cl₂]·H₂O and cis-[Pd(mpyh)₂Br₂]·2H₂O. The molecular formulae of the complexes were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR spectra and DTA study. The ligand is coordinated to the palladium ion with N-atom of the pyridine ring. The spectroscopic data indicate a square planar geometry with two N-pyridine atoms and two halogene anions in cis position. The final product of the thermal decomposition of cis-[Pd(mpyh)₂Cl₂]·H₂O is metallic Pd, whereas for cis-[Pd(mpyh)₂Br₂]·2H₂O the residue consists of metallic Pd and C. The cytotoxic effects of the complexes were examined in vitro on some human tumor cell lines. The cis-[Pd(mpyh)₂Cl₂]·H₂O proved to be more active as compared to the cis-[Pd(mpyh)₂Br₂]·2H₂O.     

Synthesis,halogenation and structural characterization of (Z)-1-[2-(triphenylstannyl)vinyl]-1-cyclododecanol

Synthesis and characterisation of (Z)-1-[2(triphenylstannyl)vinyl]-l-cyclododecanol, c-(CH₂)₁₁C(OH)CH=CHSnPh₃, are reported, together with its halogenation by I₂, Br₂ and ICI to yield derivatives of the types c-(CH₂)₁₁C(OH)CH=CHSnPhs_?nX_n (n=1, 2; X=I, Br, Cl, respectively). The molecular structures of two compounds have been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The tin atom exhibits a distorted tetrahedral geometry in the crystal of (Z)-l-[2–(triphenylstannyI)vinyl]-l-cyclododecanol, but a trigonal bipyramidal geometry in the monoiodo-derivative (Z)-l-[2]-(diphenyliodo-stannyl)vinyl)-1-cyclododecanol and other derivatives, in which significant intramolecular coordinative interaction HO→Sn ia observed. And the formation of a five-membered tin containing ring is significant for their antitumour activities.

Syntheses and Ring-Enlargement Reactions of 2-(4-Hydroxyalkyl)-2-nitrocycloalkanones Syntheses of the title compounds were achieved by [Pd{P(C₆H₅)₃}₄]-catalyzed reaction of 2-nitrocycloalkanones 3 with vinyloxirane followed by catalytic hydrogenation. By another route, the known methyl 4-(1-nitro-2-oxocycloalkyl)butanoates 6 were reduced to the corresponding aldehydes 7 which by NaBH₄ reduction or methylation with (CH₃)₂Ti(i-Pr)₂ were transformed to the alcohols 5 and 8 , respectively (Saheme 1). Treatment of 5 and/or 8 with KH/THF under reflux gave, via a 7-membered intermediate, the nitrolactones 12 and oxolactones 13 (Scheme 3). Compared with similar reactions running via 5- or 6-membered intermediates (see 1 and 2 ), the yields are distinctly lower. The natural occurring 12-tridecanolid ( 14 ) was synthesized.

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF COPOLYMERS FROM 1-[3,5-BIS(TRIMETHYLSILYL)PHENYL]-2-PHENYLACETYLENE

Copolymerization of 1-[3,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]-2-phenylacetylene (m,m-(Me₃Si)₂DPA) with other diphenylacetylene derivatives and their copolymer properties were investigated. Homopolymerization of m,m-(Me₃Si)₂DPA by TaCl₅─n-Bu₄Sn (1:2) did not give the polymer due to steric hindrance. However, m,m-(Me₃Si)2DPA copolymerized with diphenylacetylene (DPA), 1-phenyl-2-[p-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]acetylene (p-Me₃Si DPA), and 1-phenyl-2-[m-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]acety-lene (m-Me₃SiDPA) in the presence of TaCl₅─n-Bu₄Sn at various feed ratios to give copolymers in moderate yields. The formed copolymers were yellow to orange solids, which were soluble in common organic solvents such as toluene and CHCl₃. The highest weight-average molecular weights (M_w) of these copolymers reached ca. 6 × 105 and tough films could be obtained by solution casting. Their onset temperatures of weight loss in air were observed around 400°C, indicating high thermal stability. The oxygen permeability coefficients at 25°C of copoly(m,m-(Me₃Si)₂ DPA/DPA) (feed ratio 1:1) and copoly(m,m-(Me₃Si)₂DPA/p-Me₃SiDPA) (feed ratio 1:2) were 21 and 100 barrers, respectively, medium in magnitude among polymers from substituted acetylenes.     

Ligand exchange reactions of fac -(dihapto-[60]fullerene) (dihapto-1,2- bis -(diphenylphosphino)ethane tricarbonyl chromium(0)

The complex fac-(η²-C₆₀)(η²-dppe)Cr(CO)₃ (dppe?=?1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane and C₆₀?=?[60]fullerene) reacts with piperidine (pip) to produce fac-(η²-C₆₀)(η¹-pip)₂Cr(CO)₃. The reactions are first order with respect to [?fac-(η²-C₆₀)(η²-dppe)Cr(CO)₃] under flooding conditions where [pip]???[?fac-(η²-C₆₀)(η²-dppe)Cr(CO)₃]. The pseudo-first order rate constant values (k _obsd) are [pip]-dependent. Curved (upward) plots of k _obsd versus [pip] and linear plots of k _obsd versus [pip]² indicate that the piperidine-assisted dppe displacement from fac-(η²-C₆₀) (η²-dppe)Cr(CO)₃ is second order with respect to [pip]. The proposed mechanism involves a [60]fullerene-stabilized intermediate.

Thermal Behaviour of Metal Complexes of 6-(2-Pyridylazo)-3-acetamidophenol

The present work aims chiefly to study the thermal behaviour of complex compounds with general formula: [M(HL)xH₂O](A)yH₂O (where HL=C₁₃H₁₁N₄O₂=6-(2-pyridylazo)-3-acetamidophenol (PAAP), M=Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Fe(III) x=1, 3; y=2, 5) while A=CH₃COO^– (Ac), Cl₂. The second formula is [M(H₂L)xH₂O]Cl₂yH₂O, (where H ₂ L=C₁₃H₁₂N₄O₂ (PAAP), M=Ni(II), Co(II) x=3; y=4, 6). The compounds were identified by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra and TG/DTG,DTA methods. It was found that during the thermal decomposition of complex compounds water molecules of crystallization are released in the first step. In the next step the pyrolysis of organic ligand takes place. Metal oxide remained as a solid product of the thermal decomposition. Mass spectroscopy has been used for the determination of the thermal decomposition on the intermediate products. It was found that the thermal stability of the studied compounds increases as the ionic radii decreases. The activation energy E, the entropy change S ^*, the enthalpy H ^* change and Gibbs free energy change G ^* were calculated from TG curve.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Enantioselective Hydrogenation over Chiral Cobalt Complexes with (+)-(1S,2S,5R)-Neomenthyldiphenylphosphine and (-)-(R,R)-2,2-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane

Synthesis,spectroscopic, biological,and theoretical studies of new complexes from (E)-3-(2-(5, 6- diphenyl-1,2,4- triazin-3- yl)hydrazono)butan-2- one oxime

New mononuclear Fe (III), Cu (II), Ag (I), ZrO ( IV) and UO₂(VI) complexes were synthesized by the reaction of metal ions with (E)-3-(2-(5, 6- diphenyl-1,2,4- triazin-3- yl)hydrazono)butan-2- one oxime. The structures of the metal complexes were characterized using analytical, spectral (infrared, electronic, ¹H NMR, electron spin resonance (ESR), and mass), magnetic moment, molar conductance, thermal gravimetric analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. All complexes have octahedral geometries except the Cu (II) complex, which has square planar geometry, and the UO₂(VI) complex, in which the coordination number is seven. The ligand acts as a (neutral, monoanionic or dianionic) tridentate with N₂O coordinating sites: N-azomethine, N-triazine, and O-oxime. Fluorescence spectral studies were carried out in solid state and in dimethylformamide (DMF). The kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition stages were calculated using Coats–Redfern equations. The morphological structures of the ligand and some complexes were determined using XRD. The molecular orbital calculations were carried out for the ligand and metal complexes using the Hyperchem 7.52 program on the basis of the PM3 level. The antimicrobial activities of the ligand and its complexes were investigated towards the microorganisms S. aureus and B. subtilis as Gram-positive bacteria, S. typhimurium and E. coli as Gram-negative bacteria, C. albicans, and A. fumigatus. The ligand and its complexes showed antitumor activity against Hep G-2 cell lines, where Cu (II) and Ag (I) complexes seem to be promising as they showed IC₅₀ values that are lower than and comparable to that of the antitumor drug doxorubicin.     

Ring-opening polymerization of 1-(p-substituted phenyl)-2-vinylcyclopropanes by Ziegler–Natta catalysts

1-(p-Substituted phenyl)-2-vinylcyclopropanes such as 1-phenyl-2-vinylcyclopropane (I_a), 1-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-vinylcyclopropane (I_b), 1-(p-anisyl)-2-vinylcyclopropane (I_c), and 1-(p-tolyl)-2-vinylcyclopropane (I_d) were prepared and polymerized radically, cationically and with Ziegler–Natta catalysts. I_a and I_b polymerized exclusively in 1,5-fashion with radical initiators. However, I_c and I_d polymerized in 1,5-fashion only with Ziegler–Natta catalysts. All polymers were soluble in ordinary organic solvent and solution-cast films were clear and flexible, showing T_g values in the range of 39–71°C. Spectral data indicated that the double bonds of the polymer chains were in trans form in all cases. The difference between the polymerizabilities of different monomers are interpreted in terms of electronic properties of substituents.     

Radiolabeling of 1-[N',N'-bis(2-chloroethyl)-4-aminophenyl]-N-methyl-fullereno-C60-[1,9-c]pyrrolidine with 125I

Summary A procedure for labeling of a fullerene derivative 1-[N',N'-bis(2-chloroethyl)-4-aminophenyl]-N-methyl-fullereno-C₆₀-[1,9-c]pyrrolidine (C₆₀-C₁₃H₁₈N₂Cl₂) with ¹²⁵I is reported. The compound was first iodinated with a large excess of iodine monochloride and then radiolabeled by isotopic exchange with Na¹²⁵I in a toluene-water two-phase system. The dependence of the radiolabeling yield on the reaction temperature and exchange time was examined. The radiolabeling yield of the compound was as high as 94% after heating for 2 hours at 130 °C.     

Markierte Vertreter eines möglichen Zwischenprodukts der Biosynthese von Fosfomycin inStreptomyces fradiae: Darstellung von (R,S)-(2-Hydroxypropyl)-, (R,S)-, (R)-, (S)-(2-Hydroxy-[1,1-2H2]propyl)-und (R,S)-(2-[18O]Hydroxypropyl)phosphonsäure

Summary Racemic methyl O-benzyllactate was reduced to the alcohol, transformed into the bromide and reacted with triethylphosphite to give the diethylphosphonate. Removal of protecting groups afforded a phosphonic acid which was purified as its cyclohexylammonium salt. (S)-Ethyl and (R)-isobutyl O-benzyllactate were reduced with LiAlD₄ to the corresponding dideuteriated alcohols, which were transformed in the same way as the racemic compound into the chiral (2-hydroxy-[1,1-²H₂]propyl)phosphonic acids. The optical purity of alcohols (S)- and (R)-6 b was determined by derivatisation with (+)-MTPA-Cl and¹H-NMR-spectroscopy to be 98%. Exchange of the carbonyl-16-oxygen atom of 2-oxopropylphosphonate for oxygen-18 from H₂ ¹⁸O, reduction with NaBH₄, deprotection and addition of cyclohexylamine yielded the salt (±)-18 of (2-[¹⁸O]hydroxypropyl)phosphonic acid.

     

Synthesis and optical behaviors of 2-(9-phenanthrenyl)-, 2-(9-anthryl)-, and 2-(1-pyrenyl)-1-alkylimidazole homologues

Eight 2-(9-phenanthrenyl)-, 2-(9-anthryl)- and 2-(1-pyrenyl)-1-alkyl-benzimidazole compounds, three 2-(9-anthryl)-1-alkylphenanthroimidazole compounds and five 4,5-diphenyl-1-alkyl-2-(9-anthryl)imidazole compounds were synthesized by alkylation reactions of the corresponding benzimidazole, phenanthroimidazole or imidazole compounds. 2-(10-Bromo-9-anthryl)-1-alkyl-benzimidazole compounds were prepared by bromination reaction of 2-(9-anthryl)-1-alkylbenzimidazole compounds. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS or HRMS; their absorption coefficients (), maximum absorption λ_amax, fluorescence emission maximum λ_em, Stokes shifts and fluorescence quantum yields (Φ_F) in ethyl acetate were determined; their fluorescent lifetimes (T₁ and T₂) were measured in ethyl acetate and in solid state, respectively. The crystal structure of 2-(9-anthryl)-1-n-butyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole (12a) was determined to be triclinic, space group P-1 types, using single crystal X-ray crystallography technique. The results showed that these compounds exhibited moderate fluorescence-emission abilities and higher solubility in most organic solvents than their corresponding starting materials. The relationships between the optical behaviors and structures for these compounds were discussed.     

Theoretical investigations on structure, electrostatics potentials and vibrational frequencies of Li+ - CH3- O- (CH2- CH2- O)n- CH3 (n=3-7) conformers

Electronic structure, charge distributions and vibrational characteristics of CH₃ O(CH₂ CH₂ O) _n CH₃ (n=3-7) have been derived using the ab initio Hartree Fock and density functional calculations. For tri- to hexaglymes the lowest energy conformers have trans- conformation around the C-C and C-O bonds of the backbone. For heptaglyme (n=7 in the series), however, gauche-conformation around the C-C bonds renders more stability to the conformer and turns out to be 10.1 kJ mol ⁻¹ lower in energy relative to the conformer having trans-orientation around the C-C and C-O bonds. The molecular electrostatic potential topographical investigations reveal deeper minima for the ether oxygen in conformers having the gauche conformation around the C-C bonds over those for the trans- conformers. A change from trans- to gauche-conformation around the C-C bonds of the lowest energy conformer of heptaglyme engenders a triplet of intense bands ∼1,150 cm ⁻¹ in the vibrational spectra. Theoretical calculations predict that Li ⁺ binds strongly to the heptaglyme conformer in the above series. The frequency shifts in the vibrational spectra of CH₃O(CH₂CH₂O) _n CH₃- Li⁺ (n=3-7) conformers have been discussed
