The application of BTEM to UV-vis and UV-vis CD spectroscopies: the reaction of Rh4(CO)12 with chiral and achiral ligands

Two different organometallic ligand substitution reactions were investigated: (1) an achiral reactive system consisting of Rh₄(CO)₁₂ + PPh₃  Rh₄(CO)₁₁PPh₃ + CO in n-hexane under argon; and (2) a chiral reactive system consisting of Rh₄(CO)₁₂ + (S)-BINAP  Rh₄(CO)₁₀BINAP + 2CO in cyclohexane under argon. These two reactions were run at ultra high dilution. In both multi-component reactive systems the concentrations of all the solutes were less than 40 ppm and many solute concentrations were just 1–10 ppm. In situ spectroscopic measurements were carried out using UV–vis (Ultraviolet–visible) spectroscopy and UV–vis CD spectroscopy on the reactive organometallic systems (1) and (2), respectively. The BTEM algorithm was applied to these spectroscopic data sets. The reconstructed UV–vis pure component spectra of Rh₄(CO)₁₂, Rh₄(CO)₁₁PPh₃ and Rh₄(CO)₁₀BINAP as well as the reconstructed UV–vis CD pure component spectra of Rh₄(CO)₁₀BINAP were successfully obtained from BTEM analyses. All these reconstructed pure component spectra are in good agreement with the experimental reference spectra. The concentration profiles of the present species were obtained by performing a least square fit with mass balance constraints for the reactions (1) and (2). The present results indicate that UV–vis and UV–vis-CD spectroscopies can be successfully combined with an appropriate chemometric technique in order to monitor reactive organometallic systems having UV and Vis chromophores.

Synthesis, spectroscopic studies and nonlinear optical behavior of N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylmethylidene)-1-methyl-1,2-diaminoethane-N,N′,O,O′-nickel(II)

A Schiff base complex N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylmethylidene)-1-methyl-1,2- diaminoethane-N,N′,O,O′-nickel(II) has been synthesized. The title compound has been characterized by FT-IR and UV–vis spectroscopies. The UV–vis experiments indicate that the compound has solvatochromism in the UV region, implying non-zero molecular first hyperpolarizability. To investigate microscopic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior of the examined complex, the electric dipole moments (μ) and the first static hyperpolarizabilities (β) were computed using Finite Field second-order Møller Plesset (FF MP2) perturbation procedure. According to ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, the title complex exhibits non-zero β values, revealing microscopic second-order NLO behavior.

Monolithic scavenger resins by amine functionalizations of poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride-co-divinylbenzene) PolyHIPE materials

[reaction: see text] Monolithic polymer supports and scavengers were prepared via nucleophilic displacement of chlorine in poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride-co-divinylbenzene) PolyHIPE materials. Reactions of monolithic PolyHIPE with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, 4-aminobutanol, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, morpholine, and hexamethylenetetramine led to functionalized polymers with amino and hydroxy functionalities with high degrees of conversion. 4-Chlorobenzoyl chloride was efficiently and rapidly scavenged from solution by the tris(2-aminoethyl)amine derivative of monolithic poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride-co-divinylbenzene) PolyHIPE at ambient temperature.     

Synthesis, characterization and some properties of novel bis(pentafluorophenyl)methoxyl substituted metal free and metallophthalocyanines

The preparation of some new tetrakis[bis(pentafluorophenyl)methoxyl] substituted metal free and metallophthalocyanine (MPcs) complexes were achieved by the tetramerization of 4-[bis(pentafluorophenyl)methoxy]phthalonitrile with Li metal in pentan-1-ol or metal [Co(II) or Zn(II)] acetates in DMAE, respectively. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, UV–vis, ¹H NMR, ¹⁹F NMR and mass spectroscopic methods. MPcs are soluble only in strong and medium polar solvents while the metal free one is soluble in weakly, medium and strong polar solvents. The temperature and frequency dependence of the electrical conductivities were studied on spin coated films of the compounds using dc and impedance spectroscopy techniques in the frequency range from 40 to 10⁵ Hz and within the temperature range from 290 to 440 K. The temperature dependence of the exponent s and conductivity, σ_ac, were completely in agreement with the prediction of the hopping model. The redox properties of the complexes were determined by cyclic voltammetry. The nature of the redox processes was also confirmed using spectroelectrochemical measurements.     

Tromethamine organocatalyzed efficient tandem-multicomponent synthesis of new thiazolyl-4-thiazolidinones in aqueous medium

The catalytic potential of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tromethamine) has been assessed for the one pot three component tandem reaction involving a thiazolylmethoxy phenyl/aromatic carboxaldehyde, substituted amines and thioglycolic acid to form new thiazolyl-4-thiazolidinones and known substituted-4-thiazolidinones. This strategy involves the use of tromethamine as a reusable promoter and water as an eco-friendly reaction medium. The merits of this protocol are high atom economy, mild reaction conditions, good yields of desired products in short reaction times, and reusable reaction medium. The generality and functional tolerance of this convergent and environmentally benign method is demonstrated.

Comparative studies of various run buffers for chiral capillary electrophoresis using chiral crown ether as a chiral selector

In the capillary electrophoretic separation of primary amine enantiomers using (+)-(18-crown-6)-tetracarboxylic acid (18C6H4) as a chiral selector, the presence of run buffer constituents such as tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) or Na+ competing with analytes for 18C6H4, diminishes the effectiveness of 18C6H4. In order to determine appropriate buffer systems for 18C6H4, various run buffer cationic components including Tris, 1,3-bis[tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamino]propane, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)iminotris(hydroxymethyl)methane, triethanolamine, tetramethylammonium, and Na+ were compared. Quantitative studies of the effects of the competitive constituents were carried out by measuring the electrophoretic mobilities of histidine as a function of the 18C6H4 concentration. We also derived a simple equation to estimate the optimal chiral selector concentration for a maximum mobility difference in the presence of a competitive inhibitor.

The members of morpholine family are 4-morpholineethanesulfonic acid (MES), 4-morpholinepropanesulfonic acid (MOPS), 3-morpholino-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (MOPSO), and 4-(N-morpholino) butanesulfonic acid (MOBS) buffers. The overall stability constants were determined from pH-metric data using the least-squares curve-fitting program HYPERQUAD 2008. Based on the best-fit results, the species formed at equilibrium are ML, ML₂, ML₂H_?1, and ML₃ in the systems with TRIS family buffers. The complex species ML, ML₂, ML₂H_?1, and MLH_?1 are formed in the MOPSO-containing system, while ML, ML₂, and ML₂H_?1 are formed in the systems with MES, MOPS, and MOBS. The stabilities of the complexes fall in the order TABS > TRIS > TAPS > TAPSO > TES and MOBS > MOPS > MOPSO > MES for the TRIS family and morpholine families, respectively.

Temperature-Dependent Structure-Energy Changes in Crystals of Compounds with Poly(hydroxymethyl) Grouping

Crystals of tris(hydroxymethyl)nitromethane (1) and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (2) were prepared and grown at room temperature. X-ray analysis was used to study the structure of crystals 1 and 2 at room temperature; the X-ray diffraction method was applied to investigate polycrystalline samples during a temperature rise up to the phase transition into the plastic phase. Phase transitions in separate crystals 1 and 2 were observed in a hot stage under an optical microscope. Calorimetric study of the crystal temperature behavior and the phase transition features including melting were carried out. By IR spectroscopy the temperature relations of the bonds of symmetric N-O stretching vibrations of nitro groups and stretching vibrations of OH groups redistribution in crystals of 1 were investigated. In crystals of 2 the behavior of stretching vibration bands of O-H groups was studied at room temperature. In the temperature interval including phase transition, data on structure-dynamic rearrangements in the crystal lattice of compounds 1 and 2 were obtained by the NMR pulse method in the solid phase using relaxational free induction decay of protons. The proton conductivity was found and its temperature parameters were determined for both compounds in the plastic state.     

An NMR study of hydrogen bonding in some azo dyestuffs

The ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR data reported for compounds 1–4 show that in DMSO solutions all of them exist in the azo form only and do not participate in the azo–hydrazoimine equilibrium. The NMR data for compounds 1 and 2 show the presence of a weak hydrogen bond for the non-protonated forms, between N10 and the 2-NHCH₃ proton. All compounds have also been studied in TFA solutions in which they are protonated. The site of protonation of 1, 2 and 3 is determined to be at N10 in TFA solutions. These results are supported by some ab initio GIAO-CHF molecular orbital calculations.     

A simple,rapid method for the generation of ligand binding isotherms

Using the protonation of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) as a standard reaction, a technique is established for the generation of reaction isotherms by continuous titration in a flow microcalorimeter. The procedure uses an exponential dilution device of simple design that provides a constant internal volume, efficient mixing of the contents and is a closed system. The method has considerable advantages over conventional calorimetric procedures and the precision of enthalpy measurements is estimated to be within ± 2%.

In addition to indirect UV detection a contactless conductometric detector was successfully utilized.
