Deprotonation of unsaturated fluoroethers,CH2=CHCH2OCF2CHXCF3 and CH≡CCH2OCF2CHXCF3 (X=COF and SO2F)

2-Fluorocarbonyl- and 2-fluorosulfonylpentafluoropropenes upon cooling add allyl and propargyl alcohols at the C=C bond to form strong CH-acids (I)–(IV). These CH-acids react with BF₃sdNEt₃ under mild conditions and are converted to 2-fluorocarbonyl- and 2-fluorosulfonyl-2-trifluoromethyl-substituted unsaturated acid fluorides (V)–(VIII). The conditions, rate, and high selectivity of these reactions support the hypothesis that the formation of acid fluorides (V)–(VIII) involves a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of intermediate carbanions (Ia)–(IVa).For preliminary communication, see [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1672–1675, July, 1990.

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&#x21CC;Cr(OH)₃H₂PO^–₄; Cr(OH)₃(aq)+2H₂PO^–₄&#x21CC;Cr(OH)₃(H₂PO₄)^2–₂; Cr(OH)₃(aq)+HPO^2–₄&#x21CC;Cr(OH)₃HPO^2–₄] were found to be 2.78±0.3, 3.48±0.3, and 1.97±0.3, respectively.     

Thermochemical investigation of guest-host interactions in Werner clathrates of type [Ni(4-Etpy)4(NCS)2]·nG (G=naphthalene derivatives)

The stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the thermochemistry were studied for [NiL₄(NCS)₂] (I) as a host complex, and for its clathrates of type [NiL₄(NCS)₂]·2G, where L=4-ethylpyridine and guest molecule G=1-methylnaphthalene in clathrate (II), 1-chloronaphthalene in (III) or 1-bromonaphthalene in (IV). For I, the loss of volatile components proceeds in three steps (–2L, –L, –L); the first steps for II–IV also involve the release of G (–2G, –2L). DSC and X-ray powder measurements indicated a phase transition in the host lattice, and allowed differentiation of the escape of G and L molecules. The enthalpy changes give the following sequence of thermodynamic stability for the studied chlathrates: I>II>III.

The nature of the protonation reactions of [ReO₂(CN)₄]^3– was established by the successful isolation of these salts.     

New synthesis of [8-arginine] vasopressin and its de-9-glycine analogs

A unified scheme is proposed for the synthesis of [8-arginine]vasopressin (I), de-9-glycine[8-arginine]vasopressin (II), and de-9-glycinamide[8-arginine]vasopressin (III) which has been developed on the basis of the tetrapeptide Gln-Asn-Cys(Bzl)-Pro and other homologous fragments of neurohypophyseal hormones as common initial and intermediate compounds. The free dithiols obtained by the reduction of protected derivatives of (I)–(III) by sodium in liquid ammonia have been oxidized to the corresponding cyclic disulfides (I)–(III) with the aid of 1 M H₂O₂ at 0–5°C and pH 8.5. The vasopressor activities of (I)–(III) are, respectively 470 ± 20, 1.7, and 0.5 IU/mg (rat, in vivo).Institute of Organic Synthesis, Latvian SSR Academy of Sciences, Riga.

Mechanism of the grafting of organosilanes on mineral surfaces. IV. Phenylderivatives of sepiolite and poly (organosiloxanes)

Grafting reactions of phenyl groups on silica substrates using as reagents various phenylsilanes with variable distances between the silicon atoms and the aromatic ring by 0, 1, and 2 methylene groups [Si–(CH₂) _n –C₆H₅] were studied. Two different silicates have been selected as source of silica: sepiolite and tetraethyl-orthosilicate (TEOS). Sulfonic- and nitro-derivatives prepared from these phenyl compounds by electrophilic substitution reactions, have been obtained. The mechanism of these processes has been studied in relation to the number of methylene separating groups belonging to the starting reagents. The characterization of such systems has been achieved by XRD,²⁹Si and¹³C NMR/MAS, IR, and laser microprobe mass spectrometry.Parts I, II and III published in this Journal (1978) 256:135–139, (1979) 257:178–181 and (1985) 263:1025–1030     

Kinetics and mechanism of the base hydrolysis of thecis-chlorobis(ethylenediamme)(benzimidazole)cobalt(III) cation

Summary The hydrolysis ofcis-[CoCl(en)₂(bzmH)]²⁺ (en=ethylenediamine, bzmH=benzimidazole) has been studied over the pH range 8.31–11.58 at I=0.1 mol dm^–3 and 25°. Potentiometric titration of aqueous solutions of the [Co(en)₂(bzmH)OH₂]³⁺ complex obtained by silver(I) catalysed aquation of the chloro-complex give pK₁=5.81 and pK₂ = 8.84 for Equilibria (1) and (2) at 25° and I=0.1 mol dm^–3. Spectrophotometric titration of the hydroxy complex also gives a value of pK₂=8.88 for the ionisation of the coordinated benzimidazole. The kinetic data can be interpreted in terms of base hydrolysis ofcis-[CoCl(en)₂(bzmH)]²⁺ (k_OH=220 dm³ mol^–1s^–1) andcis-[CoCl(en)₂(bzm)]⁺ (k_OH=14.9 dm³ mol^–1s^–1). Comparisons with the corresponding imidazole and pyridine complexes are made.     

Kinetics and mechanism of pentacyanohydroxoferrate(III) formation from mono(aminocarboxylato)iron(III) complexes

Summary The kinetics and mechanism of the system: [FeL(OH)]^2–n + 5 CN^– [Fe(CN)₅(OH)]^3– + L^n–, where L=DTPA or HEDTA, have been investigated at pH= 10.5±0.2, I=0.25 M and t=25±0.1 C.As in the reaction of [FeEDTA(OH)]^2–, the formation of [Fe(CN)₅(OH)]^3– through the formation of mixed ligand complex intermediates of the type [FeL(OH)(CN)_x]^2–n–x, is proposed. The reactions were found to consist of three observable stages. The first involves the formation of [Fe(CN)₅(OH)]^3–, the second is the conversion of [Fe(CN)₅(OH)]^3– into [Fe(CN)₆]^3– and the third is the reduction of [Fe(CN)₆]^3– to [Fe(CN)₆]^4– by oxidation of L^n– The first reaction exhibits a variable order dependence on the concentration of cyanide, ranging from one at high cyanide concentration to three at low concentration. The transition between [FeL(OH)]^2–n and [Fe(CN)₅(OH)]^3– is kinetically controlled by the presence of four cyanide ions around the central iron atom in the rate determining step. The second reaction shows first order dependence on the concentration of [Fe(CN)₅(OH)]^3– as well as on cyanide, while the third reaction follows overall second order kinetics; first order each in [Fe(CN)₆]^3– and L^n–, released in the reaction. The reaction rate is highly dependent on hydroxide ion concentration.The reverse reaction between [Fe(CN)₅(OH)]^3– and L^n– showed an inverse first order dependence on cyanide concentration along with first order dependence each on [Fe(CN)_5– (OH)]^3– and L^n–. A five step mechanism is proposed for the first stage of the above two systems.     

Influence of dicarboxylic acids on self-assembly process: Syntheses and structural characterization of new Ag(I) complexes derived from mixed ligands

Using the principle of crystal engineering, three new silver metal–organic coordination polymers, [Ag₂(L1)₂(L2)]·2H₂O (1), [Ag₂(L1)₂(L3)]·H₂O (2), [Ag₂(L1)₂(L4)]·2H₂O (3) (L1 = 2-aminopyrimidine, L2 = oxalate anion, L3 = glutarate anion and L4 = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate anion) have been synthesized by solution phase reactions of silver nitrate with various dicarboxylic acids and cooperative heterocyclic 2-aminopyrimidine ligand under the ammoniacal conditions. All the complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and X-ray diffraction. In complex 1, L1 ligands are coordinated to Ag(I) metal centers in rare tridentate fashions, forming one-dimensional (1-D) ladder-like structure, which is interlinked by L2 anions to generate 2-D pleated molecular sheet. Complex 2 displays an interesting two-dimensional (2-D) tongue-and-groove structure containing a new kind of “T-shaped” unit. Meanwhile, each of 2-D bilayers is interlocked by four adjacent identical motifs to form three-dimensional (3-D) 5-fold interpenetrating conformation with weak Ag···Ag interactions. In complex 3, L1 ligands are coordinated to the Ag(I) ions to form 1-D polymeric chain. And L4 anions, acting as bridging linkers through corresponding μ²-carboxylates, link a pair of Ag(I) atoms from adjacent chains to yield 3-D supramolecular network. The structures of complexes 1–3 which span from 2-D to 3-D networks suggest that dicarboxylate anions play important role in the formation of such coordination architectures.     

Synthesis of Silver Complexes in DMSO–HX and DMSO–HX–Ketone Systems

Comparative analysis of the oxidizing and complexing properties of the DMSO–HX (X = Cl, Br, I) and DMSO–HX–ketone (X = Br, I; the ketone is acetone, acetylacetone, or acetophenone) systems toward silver was performed. The reaction products are AgX (X = Cl, Br, I), [Me₃S⁺]Ag _n X^– _m (n= 1, 2; m= 2, 3; X = Br, I) and [Me₂S⁺CH₂COR]AgX^– ₂(R = Me, Ph; X = Br, I). The composition of the obtained complexes depends on both the DMSO : HX ratio and the nature of HX, as well as on the methods used to isolate solid products from the solution. It was noted that the formation of the [Me₂S⁺CH₂COMe]AgBr^– ₂complex in the Ag⁰–DMSO–HBr–acetylacetone system occurs with cleavage of the acetylacetone C–C bond and follows a specific reaction course. The optimum conditions for production of the silver compounds in the title systems are determined.     

Synthesis, characterization and photophysics of bimetallic manganese(I) and ruthenium(II) complexes

A series of new manganese(I) and ruthenium(II) monometallic and bimetallic complexes made of 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline ligands, [Mn(CO)₃(NN)(4,4′-bpy)]⁺, [{(CO)₃(NN)Mn}₂(4,4′-bpy)]²⁺ and [(CO)₃(NN)Mn(4,4′-bpy)Ru(NN)₂Cl]²⁺ (NN = 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline; 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) are synthesized and characterized, in addition to already known ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(NN)₂Cl(4,4′-bpy)]⁺ and [Cl(NN)₂Ru(4,4′-bpy)Ru(NN)₂Cl]²⁺. The electrochemical properties show that there is a weak interaction between two metal centers in Mn–Ru heterobimetallic complexes. The photophysical behavior of all the complexes is studied. The Mn(I) monometallic and homobimetallic complexes have no detectable emission. In Mn–Ru heterobimetallic complexes, the attachment of Mn(I) with Ru(II) provides interesting photophysical properties.     

Calorimetric determination of thermodynamic quantities for chemical reactions in the system CO2−NaOH−H2O from 225 to 325°C

The phase equilibrium CO₂(g)=CO₂(aq) and the aqueous reactions CO ₃ ^2– +H⁺=HCO ₃ ^– , HCO ₃ ^– +H⁺=CO₂(aq)+H₂O, and Na⁺+CO ₃ ^2– =NaCO ₃ ^– were studied from 225 to 325°C using a flow calorimetric technique. Heats of mixing of gaseous CO₂ with liquid H₂O and with aqueous NaOH solutions were measured at these temperatures. Log K, H, S, and C_p values were determined for these reactions from the heat of mixing data. Equations for these thermodynamic quantities valid at infinite dilution (I=0) and 12.4 MPa are given as a function of temperature from 225 to 325°C. The log K and H values agree well with literature values at these temperatures for the first and third reactions, but not for the second reaction. No previous results have been reported for the fourth reaction at high temperatures. The isocoulombic reaction principle is tested using the log K values determined in this study. This principle is found to be valid for the reactions where each charge on one side of the equation is balanced on the other side by a charge of the same sign and magnitude, but not for the reaction where two single negative charges (HCO ₃ ^– and OH^–) are balanced by one double negative charge (CO ₃ ^2– ).Presented at the Second International Symposium on Chemistry in High Temperature Water, Provo, UT, August 1991.Taken in part from the Ph.D. Dissertation of X. Chen, Brigham Young University, 1991.     

Mass spectrometric diagnosis of the surface nitriding mechanism in a d.c. glow discharge

Reactive constituents have been investigated in a molecular beam generated in the cathode surface glow area and surface boundary layer. Mixtures of nitrogen and hydrogen form NH_x(x=0–4) compounds, which are of relevance in heterogeneous, plasma vs. metal nitriding reactions. Ammonia decomposition leads to NH_x(x=2–4). Strong cataphoretic enrichment of hydrogen has been observed in the cathode glow area. Heterogeneous reactions of NH_x with iron lead to the formation of iron nitrides via intermediates such as FeNH_2–3. In a pulsed d.c. glow discharge, increased sputtering and decreased hydrogen enrichment have been observed.     

1:1 and 1:2 Complexes of Mercury(II) Halides with 1,3-Thiazolidine-2-thione. Spectral, Thermal, and Crystal Structure Studies

The series of compounds of the general formulae HgX₂(tzdtH) and HgX₂(tzdtH)₂ (X = Cl, Br, I; tzdtH = 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione) have been prepared, as well as Hg(tzdt)₂. IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectral data of the complexes indicate thione donation, which is confirmed by the crystal structure analyses of [HgBr₂(tzdtH)]₂, [HgI₂(tzdtH)]₂, and HgI₂(tzdtH)₂. The structures of [HgBr₂(tzdtH)]₂ and [HgI₂(tzdtH)]₂ consist of centrosymmetric doubly bridged dimers, but they are not isostructural. The asymmetry in the HgX₂Hg bridge is more pronounced in the bromo than in the iodo derivative [S–Hg–X(terminal) is 138.19(9)° for X = Br and 123.49(10)° for X = I], which is accompanied by the stronger Hg–S covalent bond in the bromo than in the iodo complex [2.435(4) vs. 2.510(3) Å]. The Hg–X(bridging) (X = Br, I) bond distances are shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii for mercury and X. Dimeric centrosymmetric complex units are held together only by van der Waals forces in [HgI₂(tzdtH)]₂, while in [HgBr₂(tzdtH)]₂ there is an intramolecular hydrogen bond of N–H Br type (3.34(1) Å). HgI₂(tzdtH)₂ exists as a mononuclear tetrahedral complex with two long Hg–S [2.672(1) Å] and two short Hg–I bond distances [2.688(1) Å] related by a twofold axis. The molecules of HgI₂(tzdtH)₂ are linked into infinite chains along the c axis by intermolecular N–H S [3.38(1) Å] hydrogen bonds.     

Thermochemical investigation

The stoichiometry of the thermal decomposition and the stereochemistry of the following compounds was studied: NiR₄Cl₂ (I), NiR₄Br₂ (II), NiR₄I₂·2H₂O (III) and NiR₄(NCS)₂ (IV) (R=3-pyridylcarbinol, ronicol). In complexes I and II the loss of the volatile ligands (on the TG curves) occurs in three steps (–2R, –R, –R), in complex III in four steps (–2H₂O, –2R, –R, –R) and in complex (IV) in one step (–4R). According to the quasi-equilibrium decomposition temperatures, the thermodynamic stability of NiR₄X₄ complexes can be ordered in the sequence (according to X):Cl相似文献   

Carboxylic acid–pyridine supramolecular heterocatemer in a co-crystal

Robustness of carboxylic acid–pyridine supramolecular heterosynthon was examined in three 1:2 binary co-crystals of 4,4′-bipyridine with monocarboxylic acids, (4,4′-bipyridine)·(dl-hydroxyphenylacetic acid)₂, 1; (4,4′-bipyridine)_0.5·(4-bromonaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid), 2 and (4,4′-bipyridine)_0.5·(4-methylbenzoic acid), 3. All the three co-crystals form “two-component supermolecules” (consisting of one molecule of 4,4′-bipyridine and two molecules of the relevant carboxylic acid) stabilized through carboxylic acid–pyridine heterosynthons. Co-crystals 1 and 2 exhibits the expected carboxylic acid–pyridine dimer (heterodimer I) whereas co-crystal 3 forms a novel carboxylic acid–pyridine catemer (heterocatemer II).
