Ion-solvent interaction in nonaqueous solutions. II. Spin-lattice relaxation times of23Na and133Cs

The spin-lattice relaxation time (T ₁) of ²³ Na was measured in solutions of NaClO ₄ and (or) NaBr in formamide,N-methylformamide,N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), MeCN, Me₂CO, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and ¹³³ Cs in a solution of CsCl in formamide. The values of (1/T ₁) ₀ obtained by extrapolation are discussed in terms of current theories of quadrupolar magnetic relaxation of ionic nuclei. A correlation was found between (1/T ₁) ₀ for ²³ Na and Gutmann's donor numbers.For Part I, see ref. 1.     

Cerebrosides fromfomitopsis pinicola (Sw. Ex Fr.) Karst.

Summary A cerebroside fraction was obtained from the fruit bodies offomitopsis pinicola using column chromatography and then separated into six compounds by reversed-phase HPLC. The sugar component of all cerebrosides wasD-glucose. The major fatty acids were 2-hydroxyfatty acids (C₁₄–C₁₈), the long chain base was identified as 9-methyl-C₁₈-4,8-sphingadienine which is widely distributed in fungi and reported to be essential for the fruit-inducing activity of fungi. Based on degradation studies, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, and different¹H and¹³C NMR investigations, the structure of the main cerebroside (1) was determined to be (4E,8E,2S,3R,2R)-N-2-hydroxypalmityl-1-O--D-glucopyranosyl-9-methyl-4,8-sphingadienine.

Stereochemicai study of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)indolizinones by1H and13C NMR

Stereochemistry of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)-indolizinones was studied by¹H and¹³C NMR. Complete assignment of¹H NMR signals and analysis of¹H-¹H coupling constants were performed using the iterative PANIC program. Values of³ J _6,7,³ J _7,8endo, and⁴ J _5,7 allow one to unambiguously identify the correspondingexo- andendo-stereoisomers. For stereoisomers with exo-orientation of H(7), complete assignment of¹³C NMR signals was performed on the basis of analysis of the¹³C-¹H coupling constants using two dimensional heteronuclear shift-correlating spectroscopy.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Chromium(III) Hydroxide Solubility in The Aqueous Na+-OH?-H2PO?4-HPO2?4-PO3?4-H2O System: A Thermodynamic Model

Chromium(III)-phosphate reactions are expected to be important in managing high-level radioactive wastes stored in tanks at many DOE sites. Extensive studies on the solubility of amorphous Cr(III) solids in a wide range of pH (2.8–14) and phosphate concentrations (10^–4 to 1.0 m) at room temperature (22±2)°C were carried out to obtain reliable thermodynamic data for important Cr(III)-phosphate reactions. A combination of techniques (XRD, XANES, EXAFS, Raman spectroscopy, total chemical composition, and thermodynamic analyses of solubility data) was used to characterize solid and aqueous species. Contrary to the data recently reported in the literature,⁽¹⁾ only a limited number of aqueous species [Cr(OH)₃H₂PO^–₄, Cr(OH)₃(H₂PO₄)^2–₂), and Cr(OH)₃HPO^2–₄] with up to about four orders of magnitude lower values for the formation constants of these species are required to explain Cr(III)-phosphate reactions in a wide range of pH and phosphate concentrations. The log K^o values of reactions involving these species [Cr(OH)₃(aq)+H₂PO^–₄⇌Cr(OH)₃H₂PO^–₄; Cr(OH)₃(aq)+2H₂PO^–₄⇌Cr(OH)₃(H₂PO₄)^2–₂; Cr(OH)₃(aq)+HPO^2–₄⇌Cr(OH)₃HPO^2–₄] were found to be 2.78±0.3, 3.48±0.3, and 1.97±0.3, respectively.     

Coordination behaviour of the multidentate Schiff base 2,6-bis(2-hydroxyphenyliminomethyl)pyridine towards the fac-[Re(CO)3] and [ReO] cores

The seven-coordinate rhenium(III) complex cation [Re^III(dhp)(PPh₃)₂]⁺ was isolated as the iodide salt from the reaction of cis-[Re^vO₂I(PPh₃)₂] with 2,6-bis(2-hydroxyphenyliminomethyl)pyridine (H₂dhp) in ethanol. In the complex fac-[Re(CO)₃(H₂dhp)Br], prepared from [Re(CO)₅Br] and H₂dhp in toluene, the H₂dhp ligand acts as a neutral bidentate N,N-donor chelate. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.     

Amino-substituted gem-diphosphonic acids: structures of complexes with divalent metal cations in aqueous solutions

A comparative study of complexation of acids R₂N(CH₂)_nCR"(PO₃H₂)₂ (R = H or Me; R" = OH or H; n = 1 or 2) with the Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Cu²⁺ cations in aqueous solutions was carried out by vibrational (IR and Raman) and electronic spectroscopy using the data of ESR spectroscopy and conformational analysis (molecular mechanics). The MOPCPO chelate ring is formed in all ML and MHL complexes. The involvement of the N atom in coordination was found only in the Cu²⁺ complexes and is determined by the structure of the ligand. The relationship between the stability constants and the structures of the complexes in aqueous solutions is analyzed.     

Study of allylic rearrangement in (μ-H)Os3(μ-O=CNRCH2CH=CH2)(CO)10 (R=H or CH3) clusters

The migration of the double bond in the allylcarboxamide ligands of (μ-H)Os₃(μ-O=CN RCH₂CH=CH₂) (CO)₁₀ (R=H (1) or CH₃ (2)), (μ-D)Os₃(μ-O=CNDCH₂CH=CH₂) (CO)₁₀, and (μ-H)Os₃(μ-O=CNHCD₂CH=CH₂)(CO)₁₀ clusters was studied by¹H,²H, and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Neither μ-D nor ND groups in the deuterated complexes are directly involved in prototropic processes of allylic rearrangement. Initially, the deuterium atom of the CD₂ group migrates to the ψ-carbon atom of the allyl fragment to form the −CD=CH-CH₂D propenyl moiety, in which the deuterium and hydrogen atoms are gradually redistributed between the ψ-and β-carbon atoms. The triosmium cluster complexes containing the bridging carboxamide ligands O=CNRR' catalyze the allylic rearrangement ofN-allylacetamide. Based on the data obtained, the probable scheme of the allylic rearrangements in clusters1 and2 was proposed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Highly efficient copper/palladium-catalyzed tandem Ullman reaction/arylation of azoles via C-H activation: synthesis of benzofuranyl and indolyl azoles from 2-(gem-dibromovinyl)phenols(anilines) with azoles

In this paper, a novel and highly efficient copper/palladium-catalyzed tandem intramolecular Ullman-type C-O(N) coupling reaction of 2-(gem-dibromovinyl)phenols(anilines) followed by an intermolecular arylation of azoles through C-H activation has been developed. In the presence of CuBr with Pd(PPh₃)₂Cl₂ used as co-catalyst, and LiO^tBu as a base, the one-pot reactions of 2-(gem-dibromovinyl)phenols and 2-(gem-dibromovinyl)anilines with a variety of azoles, including oxazoles, imidazoles, thiazoles, and oxadiazoles underwent smoothly in toluene at 100 °C to generate the corresponding biheteroaryl products in high yields. A tentative mechanism of copper/palladium-catalyzed tandem reaction was described.     

[Boranato-bis(dimethylphosphonium-methylid)]-Komplexe der do- und d10-Metalle: Li,Be, Mg,Zn, Cd,Hg, Al und Ga

Dehydrohalogenation and metallation of boranato-bis-trimethylphosphonium salts (1), using two equivalents of a lithiumalkyl in tetrahydrofuran, leads to a solvated organolithium reagent H₂B[(CH₃)₂PCH₂]₂Li (3) which can be converted into a 1:1n1-complex with tetramethylethylenediamin (4).3 reacts with anhydrous metal(II) halides to form spirocyclic coordination compounds of the type H₂B[(CH₃)₂PCH₂]₂ M[CH₂P(CH₃)₂]₂BH₂ (5–9,M=Be, Mg, Zn, Cd, Hg). The reaction of [(CH₃)₃PBH₂P(CH₃)₃]Br (1) with lithium tetramethylmetalates Li[M(CH₃)₄],M=Al, Ga, on heating in the absence of a solvent affords the metallocycles H₂B[(CH₃)₂PCH₂]₂ M(CH₃)₂ (10, 11) with evolution of methane. The products can be sublimed from the reaction mixture. The proposed structures of the new compounds, with tetrahedrally coordinated central atoms and strong covalent metal-carbon interactions, are supported by mass, IR and¹H,⁷Li,¹¹B,¹³C, and³¹P NMR spectra. Compound9 represents a rare case of a tetracoordinate organomercurial, compound5 is the first nonionic tetraalkylberyllate.

     

Synthesis and spectral properties of mixedmeso-metallocenylporphyrins

A series of mixed porphyrins with different numbers of metallocenyl (ferrocenyl and cymantrenyl) and aryl (Ph and C₆F₅) groups at themeso-positions was obtained and characterized by¹H NMR, electronic absorption, and mass spectra. The downfield shift of NH signals as well as the bathochromic shift ofQ-bands can be attributed to a distortion of the porphyrin macrocycle upon the introduction of bulkymeso-substituents.

Cadmium(II) complexes with phosphine tellurides: synthesis and multinuclear (31P, 125Te,and 113Cd) NMR characterization in solution

New cadmium(II) complexes with phosphine telluride ligands of the type CdX₂(R₃PTe)_n [X?=?ClO₄^?, n?=?4: R?=?n-Bu (1), Me₂?N (2), C₅H₁₀?N (3), C₄H₈?N (4) or OC₄H₈?N (5); X?=?Cl^–, n?=?2: R?=?n-Bu (6), Me₂?N (7), C₅H₁₀?N (8), C₄H₈?N (9) or OC₄H₈?N (10)] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and multinuclear (³¹P, ¹²⁵Te, and ¹¹³Cd) NMR spectroscopy. In particular, the solution structures of these complexes were confirmed by ¹¹³Cd NMR at low temperature, which displays a quintuplet for each of the perchlorate complexes and a triplet for each of the chloride complexes due to coupling with four and two equivalent phosphorus atoms, respectively, indicating a four-coordinate tetrahedral geometry for the metal center. These multiplet features were further accompanied by one bond Te–Cd couplings, clearly showing that the ligand is coordinated to the metal through tellurium. The results are discussed and compared with those obtained for closely related phosphine chalcogenide analogs.     

An Au(III) complex of glycyl- S -serine: a linear polarized IR and 1H- and 13C-NMR investigation

The structure of a mononuclear Au(III) complex of the dipeptide glycyl-S-serine (Gly-Ser) has been predicted using solid-state linear dichroic IR (IR-LD) spectroscopy, based on an orientation technique in a nematic liquid crystal suspension. Results are compared with data from ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, MS, elemental analysis, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The metal ion is coordinated as a tridentate through NH₂, N (from deprotonated amide) and O (COO^?) groups to form [Au(C₅H₉N₂O₄)Cl], with the fourth position of the square-planar coordination sphere being completed by a Cl^? ion.     

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.     

Molar Excess Volumes and Excess Isentropic Compressibilities of Ternary Mixtures Containing <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-Toluidine

Molar excess volumes, V _ijk ^E, and speeds of sound, U _ijk , of o-toluidine (i) + benzene (j) + cyclohexane or n-hexane or n-heptane (k) ternary mixtures have been measured as a function of composition at 308.15 K. The observed speed of sound data have been utilized to determine the excess isentropic compressibilities, (K _S ^E) _ijk , of the ternary (i+j+k) mixtures. The Moelywn-Huggins concept (Huggins in Polymer 12: 389–399, 1971) of connectivity between the surfaces of the binary mixture constituents has been extended to ternary mixtures (using the concept of a connectivity parameter of third degree of molecules, ³ ξ, which in turn depends on its topology) to obtain an expression that describes well the measured V _ijk ^E and (K _S ^E) _ijk data. The observed data have also been analyzed in terms of Flory’s theory.

These compounds were studied by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy. The 1:1 complex of compound 10 with benzene was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Substitution inertcis-diaqua Cr^III complexes: cis-[(L^x−)Cr^III(H₂O)₂]^(3−x)+ derived from N-donor ligands (L^x−) viz., bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline (x = 0) and N,O-donor ligands viz., nitrilotriacetate and anthranilate N,N-diacetate (x = 3) titrate as diprotic acids in aqueous solution and enhance the acidity of otherwise weakly acidic boric acid (H₃BO₃) producing mononuclear and binuclear mixed ligand Cr^III-borate complexes: [(L)Cr(H₂BO₄)]^x− and [(L)Cr(BO₄)Cr(L)]^(1−2x)+ respectively through coordination of the H₂O and/or OH⁻ ligands, cis-coordinated in the Cr^III-complexes on the electron deficient B^III-atom in H₃BO₃ with release of protons. Deprotonation of the parent Cr^III-complexes and their reactions with H₃BO₃ have been investigated by potentiometric method in aqueous solution,I = 0.1 mol dm⁻³ (NaNO₃) at 25 ±0.1°C. The equilibrium constants have been evaluated by computerized methods and the tentative stoichiometry of the reactions have been worked out on the basis of the speciation curves     

Tris(dimethylamino)phosphine Selenide Complexes of Cadmium(II): Synthesis and Multinuclear (31P, 77Se,and 113Cd) NMR Characterization in Solution

The complexes CdL₄(ClO₄)₂ (1), CdL₂(NO₃)₂ (2), and CdL₂Cl₂ (3) (L = (Me₂N)₃P(Se)) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, IR, and multinuclear (³¹P, ⁷⁷Se, and ¹¹³Cd) NMR spectroscopy. ³¹P and ⁷⁷Se NMR data were informative of changes associated with complex formation. The structure of the prepared complexes was further confirmed in solution by their ¹¹³Cd NMR spectra, which show a quintuplet for the perchlorate complex and a triplet for each of the nitrate and chloride complexes due, respectively, to coupling with four and two equivalent phosphorus atoms, consistent with a four coordinate tetrahedral geometry for the cadmium center. The NMR data are discussed and compared with those reported for related complexes.     

Some benzimidazole amide complexes of ruthenium(II)

The synthesis and characterisation of ruthenium(II) complexes with 2-amidobenzimidazoles are reported. The complexes RuCl₂(DMSO)₄ and RuCl₂(PPh₃) react with 2-(acetamido)benzimidazole (AB) and 2-(benzamido)benzimidazole (BB) it acetone to give products of the type [Ru(L)₂(N−O)₂]Cl₂ [L=DMSO, PPh₃, N−O=AB, BB). The displacement reactions are faster in the case of methyl (AB) than phenyl (BB) substituted ligands. The ligands are bifunctional chelating agents coordinating through the tertiary nitrogen of benzimidazole ring and amide oxygen. The complexes are characterised based on their elemental analysis, conductivity data, infrared,¹H and³¹P nmr spectra. Acis-geometry is proposed for all the complexes reported.
