Copper-catalyzed synthesis of aryl and alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfides using CF3SiMe3 and Na2S2O3 as –SCF3 source

A universal and efficient Cu(I)-catalyzed synthesis of aryl and alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfides has been developed. In this catalytic system, S-aryl or S-alkyl sulfothioate (I or II) proved to be the key intermediate. Substrates bearing groups of I, Br, Cl, OTs, and OMs on the aryl carbon and no matter electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substitutions on the aromatic ring could afford good to excellent yields.

The average Cr-(₃-O) distances in compounds I and II are almost equal (1.943(3) and 1.927(3) ). An average length of the Cr-O bond in octahedral surrounding of metal atoms is different in complexes I and II (1.985(4) and 2.003(3) , respectively), which is specified by different oxidation states of the metal atom. The CrCr distances lie in an interval of 3.366(1)–3.337(1) .__________Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 4, 2005, pp. 266–272.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Glazunova, Boltalin, Troyanov.

CF4 decomposition over solid ternary mixture NaF-Si-MO（MO=La2O3,CeO2,Pr6O-（11）,Nd2O3,Y2O3）

A solid ternary mixture consisting of NaF,silicon and one metal oxide such as La2O3,CeO2,Pr6O11,Nd2O3,and Y2O3 was prepared and usedas de-fluorinated reagent for CF4 decomposition.The results show that 90% conversion of CF4 can be reached initially over NaF-Si-La2O3,NaF-Si-CeO2,NaF-Si-Nd2O3,and NaF-Si-Y2O3 at 850 C.The fresh and used reagents were characterized using XRD and XPS techniques.It was found that the active components of NaF and metal oxides in NaF-Si-CeO2,NaF-Si-Pr6O11,NaF-Si-Nd2O3,and NaF-Si-Y2O3 weretransformed into inert phases of mixed metal fluorides and silicates,respectively,resulting in an ineffective utilization of these de-fluorinatedreagents,whereas no inert phases from NaF and La2O3 can be observed in the used NaF-Si-La2O3,indicating the NaF-Si-La2O3 reagent couldbe utilized more efficiently than the other reagents in CF4 decomposition.

Reactions of CF3-substituted boranes with α-diazocarbonyl compounds

Boranes substituted with a CF₃-group can be generated from methyl boronic esters RB(OMe)₂ and Me₃SiCF₃/KF followed by treatment with Me₃SiCl. These boranes are stable only in coordinating solvents, and due to the increased Lewis acidity of boron, react rapidly with α-diazocarbonyl compounds to give the products of transfer of the organic group from boron. Alkyl, aryl, vinyl, and alkynyl boronic esters can be used in this reaction.

Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O, synthesised by hydrothermal methods at 220(2) °C, has been investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O crystallises in space group Cmc2₁ and is isostructural with Lu₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O. The crystal structure has been refined to R₁=0.0145 for 3412 reflections [F_o>3σ(F)], and 0.0150 for all 3472 reflections. The structure of Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O is a complex framework of YbO₆ octahedra, YbO₈ and YbO₅(H₂O)₃ polyhedra and SO₄ tetrahedra. Thermal data shows that Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O decomposes between 120 and 190 °C to form β-Yb₂(SO₄)₃.

Selective solution-phase synthesis of BiOCl, BiVO4 and δ-Bi2O3 nanocrystals in the reaction system of BiCl3-NH4VO3-NaOH

In this study, we demonstrate a straightforward solution-phase method for the selective synthesis of BiOCl, BiVO₄ and δ-Bi₂O₃ nanocrystals by simply manipulating the reaction temperature and the BiCl₃-to-NaOH mole ratio in the reaction system of BiCl₃-NH₄VO₃-NaOH. The experimental results revealed that BiOCl, as the sole product, was prepared when designating the reaction temperature ranging from room temperature to 100 °C, regardless of the BiCl₃-to-NaOH mole ratio; on the other hand, BiOCl, BiVO₄, and δ-Bi₂O₃ nanocrystals could be selectively prepared at 140-180 °C, depending on the BiCl₃-to-NaOH mole ratio in solution. Significantly, we first report on fabricating δ-Bi₂O₃ sample, the high-temperature cubic phase commonly stabilized at 730-824 °C, at the low reaction temperature of 140-180 °C under solution-phase synthetic conditions. In addition, the δ-Bi₂O₃ sample exhibits strong emission at room temperature.

Gas-phase measurements of the surface basicity of AlPO4?TiO2 and AlPO4?ZrO2 catalysts

The amount and strength of basic sites of AlPO₄–TiO₂ and AlPO₄–ZrO₂ catalysts over a different range of AlPO₄/metal oxide weight ratios were measured by studying the adsorption of acid molecules (acrylic acid and phenol) in the gas phase (473–673 K) by using the gas-chromatographic pulse method. The results obtained show that the basicity of AlPO₄–TiO₂ and AlPO₄–ZrO₂ catalysts is far lower than that of pure AlPO₄, and with an increase in the metal oxide (TiO₂ or ZrO₂) weight ratio, the basicity decreases. Besides, the basicity of AlPO₄–ZrO₂ is fairly low compared with that AlPO₄–TiO₂. In both cases, the total basicity (measured at 473 K vs. acrylic acid) gradually decreases with the calcination temperature while the stronger basic sites (measured at 573 K vs. phenol) remained unchanged up to calcination temperatures of 1073 K. Some weak surface basic sites remained in catalysts pretreated at 1273 K.

Noncentrosymmetric K2Mn3(SO4)3F2·4H2O and Rb2Mn3(SO4)3F2·2H2O with pseudo-KTP structures

Two fluoride sulfates,K₂Mn₃(SO₄)₃F₂·4H₂O(Ⅰ) and Rb₂Mn₃(SO₄)₃F₂·2H₂O (Ⅱ) are obtained by water solution method.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that they crystallize in space groups of Cmc2_1.Their structures feature a pseudo-KTP structure consisting of interconnecting[Mn₃(SO₄)3F₂(H₂O)2]_∞ layers,which are further packing along the a axis with alkali metal cations balancing the charges.The structure relationships between the two compounds are discussed.Secondharmonic generation measurements manifest that Ⅰ and Ⅱ have similar second-harmonic generation responses of about 0.2 and 0.25 times that of KH₂PO₄.

Synthesis of ethyl zinc fluoroalkoxide complexes and the crystal structure of [EtZn(py){μ-OCH(CF3)2}]2

Fluorinated alkoxide complexes of zinc were synthesized for possible use as precursors to fluorine-doped ZnO films. Diethyl zinc reacted with fluorinated alcohols to form [EtZn(OR_f)]_n (R_f = CH(CF₃)₂, CMe₂CF₃, CMe(CF₃)₂) compounds. The [EtZn(OR_f)]_n compounds reacted with excess pyridine to yield the pyridine adducts [EtZn(py)(μ-OR_f)]₂. The X-ray structure of [EtZn(py){μ-OCH(CF₃)₂}]₂ showed that it has virtual C_i symmetry.     

L-丙氨酸在LiNO3, NaNO3, KNO3和NaClO4水溶液中的体积性质

利用Anton Paar DMA 55精密数字密度计测定了L-丙氨酸在LiNO₃, NaNO₃, KNO₃和NaClO₄水溶液中的密度, 计算了L-丙氨酸的表观摩尔体积、极限偏摩尔体积、迁移偏摩尔体积、理论水化数和体积作用系数. 根据静电相互作用和结构水合作用模型讨论了阴离子和阳离子对迁移偏摩尔体积的影响. 结果表明, L-丙氨酸在四种含氧酸盐水溶液中的迁移体积均为正值, 并且随着盐浓度的增大而增大. L-丙氨酸两性离子端基和阴阳离子间的静电作用对迁移体积的贡献是主要的. 静电作用削弱了两性离子带电中心对周围水分子的电致收缩效应, 造成了理论水化数随溶液浓度的增加而减小. L-丙氨酸在NaNO₃, KNO₃和NaClO₄水溶液中迁移体积的不同主要是由于静电作用的不同引起的, 在LiNO₃水溶液中迁移体积的“反常”是由于结构相互作用的影响较大所致.

采用溶剂热法-旋涂法构建了Sb₂O₃/BiVO₄/WO₃半导体异质结,并采用X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜、X射线光电子能谱等手段表征了其物化性质。在1.23 V(vs RHE)电位下,BiVO₄/WO₃的光电流密度相对于BiVO₄提高了2倍。进一步复合Sb₂O₃之后,虽然Sb₂O₃/BiVO₄/WO₃薄膜的光电流密度有所下降,但其光电催化产H₂O₂的法拉第效率和产生速率得到明显提升。在1.89V(vs RHE)电位下,3c-Sb₂O₃/BiVO₄/WO₃薄膜产 H₂O₂的法拉第效率提高到约 19%;1c-Sb₂O₃/BiVO₄/WO₃薄膜 H₂O₂产生速率从约2.1 μmol·h^-1·cm^-2提高到约3.6 μmol·h^-1·cm^-2。此外,Sb₂O₃的复合显著提高了BiVO₄/WO₃电极材料的光电催化稳定性。     

The bis(trifluoroacetate) analogue of the first-generation Grubbs catalyst: Synthesis, X-ray structure, and metathesis activity of [Ru(CF3CO2)(η-CF3CO2)(CHPh)(PCy3)2]

A simple synthesis of [Ru(CF₃CO₂)(η²-CF₃CO₂)(CHPh)(PCy₃)₂] from dimeric [Ru₂(CF₃CO₂)₂(μ-CF₃CO₂)₂(CHPh)₂(PCy₃)₂(μ-H₂O)] is described. The new complex crystallizes in monoclinic system (P2(1)/c space group) with distorted octahedral coordination. The very low metathesis activity of this new ruthenium benzylidene complex demonstrates that substitution of chlorides with trifluoroacetates in [RuCl₂(CHPh)(PCy₃)₂] results in loss of the catalytic activity.
