Farbe und Konstitution bei anorganischen Feststoffen, 11. Mitt.: Die Lichtabsorption des oktaedrisch koordinierten Co2+-Ions in der Mischkristallreihe Mg1−x Co x O und anderen oxidischen Wirtsgittern

Zusammenfassung Für das oktaedrisch koordinierte Co²⁺-Ion werden ein Termschema und Energiegleichungen für zwei charakteristischeDq/B-Werte angegeben und mit deren Hilfe aus den Spektren der Co²⁺-haltigen Ilmenite MgTiO₃ und CdTiO₃ ¹ die Zuordnung des intensitätsstärksten Quartett-Dublett-Überganges ( _a ⁴ T_{1g b} ² T_1g) auf eindeutige Weise ermöglicht.Weiter wird das spektrale Verhalten der Mg_1–x CO _x O-Mischkristalle (0,05x1,0) in Abhängigkeit von der Co²⁺-Konzentration untersucht. Die Änderungen der Bandenintensitäten und desRacah-ParametersB werden wie in der analogen MgO-NiO-Mischkristallreihe² auf Spin-Spin-Wechselwirkungen der über Sauerstoff benachbarten Co²⁺-Ionen zurückgeführt.

The energy levels of the octahedrally coordinated Co²⁺-ion and energy equations for two characteristicB-values are given, which allow to identify the quartet-doublet-transition ( _a ⁴ T_{1g b} ² T_1g) of the highest intensity from the spectrum of the Co²⁺ containing ilmenites MgTiO₃ and CdTiO₃ ¹.In addition, the variation of the spectra of the Mg_1–x Co _x O-mixed crystals (0.05x1.0) with the Co²⁺ concentration is investigated. The changes in the intensities of the absorption bands and of theRacah-parameterB are (as for the corresponding MgO-NiO-mixed crystals² interpreted as being caused by spin-spin-interactions between Co²⁺ ions bonded to the same oxygen.

Solid-supported solution-phase synthesis of 4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepine-3-ones

Starting from Boc-o-aminomethylphenylalanine, a solution-phase parallel synthesis of 2,4-substituted 4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepine-3-ones is described. This heterocycle has two nitrogen functions, which are differentiated and can be selectively substituted. The sources of diversity are aldehydes for the R(1) position and carboxylic acids, sulfonyl chlorides, or isocyanates for the R(2) position. High-throughput synthesis and purification of this multistep synthetic sequence was accomplished using polymer-bound reagents and scavengers and liquid-liquid extraction protocols, and a small library of compounds was prepared. Polymer-bound cyanoborohydride was found to work well for the reductive amination. Scavenging of excess of amine was performed by polymer-bound benzaldehyde, and cyclization was performed in the presence of polymer-bound coupling reagent 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC). After Boc-deprotection, the second nitrogen can be acylated using carboxylic acids, sulfonylated or converted to a urea. The acylation is again performed by polymer-bound EDC. Excellent yields and purities were obtained.     

Synthesis and testing of new end-functionalized oligomers for molecular electronics

Several new classes of oligomers have been synthesized with functionalities designed to aid in the understanding of molecular device behavior, specifically when molecules are interfaced between proximal electronic probes. The compounds synthesized are series of azobenzenes, bipyridines and oligo(phenylene vinylene)s that bear acetyl-protected thiols for ultimate attachment to metallic surfaces. Some initial electrochemical and solid-state test results are also reported.     

Two-dimensional Blue Native/sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis for analysis of multimeric proteins in platelets

Two-dimensional (2-D) Blue Native/SDS gel electrophoresis combines a first-dimensional separation of monomeric and multimeric proteins in their native state with a second denaturing dimension. These high-resolution 2-D gels aim at identifying multiprotein complexes with respect to their subunit composition. We applied this method for the first time to analyze two human platelet subproteomes: the cytosolic and the microsomal membrane protein fraction. Solubilization of platelet membrane proteins was achieved with the nondenaturing detergent n-dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside. To validate native solubilization conditions, we demonstrated the correct assembly of the Na,K-ATPase, a functional multimeric transmembrane protein, when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. We identified 63 platelet proteins after in-gel tryptic digestion of 58 selected protein spots and liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry. Nine proteins were detected for the first time in platelets by a proteomic approach. We also show that this technology efficiently resolves several known membrane and cytosolic multiprotein complexes. Blue Native/SDS gel electrophoresis is thus a valuable procedure to analyze specific platelet subproteomes, like the membrane(-bound) protein fraction, by mass spectrometry and immunoblotting and could be relevant for the study of protein-protein interactions generated following platelet activation.     

Synthesis of [(MeCyt)2H]I-structure and stability of a dimeric threefold hydrogen-bonded 1-methylcytosinium 1-methylcytosine cation

Reaction of trimethylsilyl-protected cytosine with methyl iodide afforded N1-methylated product. Subsequent treatment with ethanol resulted in cleavage of the protection group forming [(MeCyt)2H]I (4). Identity of was confirmed by microanalysis, mass spectrometry, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals of consist of dimeric [(MeCyt)2H]+ cations and I- anions. These ions are arranged in the crystal such that there is a strong base stacking (mean stacking distance 3,467 angstroms) and, furthermore, pi interactions between I- and cytosine rings (mean distance 3,737 angstroms). The dimeric [(MeCyt)2H]+ cations are centrosymmetric having three strong hydrogen bonds, namely two terminal N4-H...O' ones (N4...O' 2.815(4) angstroms) and a central N3-H...N3' (N3...N3' 2.813(4) angstroms) one. Quantum chemical calculations on the DFT level of theory show that the gas phase structure of the dimeric cation exhibits two different terminal N-HO hydrogen bonds, a stronger (N4...O' 2.722 angstroms) and a weaker one (N4'...O 2.960 angstroms). The central N3-HN3[prime or minute] hydrogen bond (N3...N3' 2.852 angstroms) was characterized to have an unsymmetrically located proton and a typical double minimum potential with a very low activation barrier. The interaction energy between [(MeCyt)H]+ and MeCyt yielding [(MeCyt)2H]+ was calculated to be -42.4 kcal mol(-1)(ZPE and BSSE corrected). Comparison with the interaction energy (calculated on the same level of the theory) between cytosine and guanine yielding the triply hydrogen-bonded Watson-Crick dimer (-24.2 kcal mol(-1)) revealed a much higher stability of the hydrogen bonds in [(MeCyt)2H]+.     

Dinuclear and Mononuclear Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) Complexes with Modified 2,2′‐Dipyridylamine Ligands Featuring a Cisplatin Analogous Structure Motif

In modern cancer therapy the clinical application of platinum‐based drugs is more and more limited by the occurrence of intrinsic or acquired resistances. In this context the potential use of dinuclear platinum complexes in chemotherapy is increasingly relevant. The novel complexes Pd(Bzdpa)Cl₂, Pd₂(C₄H₈(dpa)₂)Cl₄, and Pt₂(C₄H₈(dpa)₂)Cl₄ allow a direct comparison of mono‐ and dinuclear palladium and platinum complexes respectively deriving from a 2,2′‐dipyridylamine (Hdpa) ligand system. They were characterized by single crystal X‐ray analysis as well as infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The cisplatin analogous mononuclear palladium complex Pd(Bzdpa)Cl₂ ( 1 ) (Bzdpa: (2,2′‐dipyridylbenzyl)amine) belongs to a range of 2,2′‐dipyridylamine‐based compounds which were extensively studied in our laboratories. 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna2₁ with a = 13.722(3), b = 13.457(3), c = 9.483(2), V = 1751.1(6) ų, and Z = 4. The metal binding motif of 1 was expanded by a flexible butyl‐linker to form the tetradentate C₄H₈(dpa)₂ ligand. The resulting isotypic dinuclear complexes Pd₂(C₄H₈(dpa)₂)Cl₄·2CH₃CN ( 2 ) and Pt₂(C₄H₈(dpa)₂)Cl₄·2CH₃CN ( 3 ) crystallize in the triclinic space group with a = 7.8427(2), b = 8.7940(2), c = 11.7645 (3), α = 79.219(2)°, β = 84.033(2)°, γ = 87.744(2)°, V = 792.58(3) ų ( 2 ) and a = 7.831(5), b = 8.814(5), c = 11.817(5), α = 79.271(5)°, β = 83.571(5)°, γ = 88.063(5)°, V = 796.3(8) ų ( 3 ), both with one centrosymmetrical molecule in the unit cell.     

A novel MCR of isocyanates, aldehydes, and dienophiles

[reaction: see text] A novel one-pot procedure for the three-component coupling reaction of isocyanates, aldehydes, and dienophiles (IAD reaction) has been developed. Condensation of isocyanates and aldehydes and subsequent Diels-Alder reactions with electron-deficient dienophiles furnishes endo-selective amino-substituted cyclohexenes in good yield.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Three Homoleptic Bismuth Silanolates: [Bi(OSiR3)3] (R = Me,Et, iPr)

The bismuth tris(triorganosilanolates) [Bi(OSiR₃)₃] ( 1 , R = Me; 2 , R = Et; 3 , R = iPr) were prepared by reaction of R₃SiOH with [Bi(OtBu)₃]. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group with Z = 2 and the lattice constants a = 10.323(1) Å, b = 13.805(1) Å, c = 21.096(1) Å and α = 91.871(4)°, β = 94.639(3)°, γ = 110.802(3)°. In the solid state compound 1 is a trimer as result of weak intermolecular bismuth‐oxygen interactions with Bi–O distances in the range 2.686(6)–3.227(3) Å. The coordination at the bismuth atoms Bi(1) and Bi(3) is best described as 3 + 2 coordination whereas Bi(2) shows a 3 + 3 coordination. The intramolecular Bi–O distances fall in the range 2.041(3)–2.119(3) Å. Compound 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcm with Z = 4 and the lattice constants a = 7.201(1) Å, b = 23.367(5) Å and c = 20.893(1) Å, whereas the triethylsilyl‐derivative 2 is liquid. In contrast to [Bi(OSiMe₃)₃] ( 1 ) compound 3 is monomeric in the solid state, but shows similar intramolecular Bi–O distances in the range 1.998(2)–2.065(5) Å. The bismuth silanolates are highly soluble in common organic solvents and strongly moisture sensitive. Compound 1 shows the lowest thermal stability.     

Self-assembly of amphiphilic hexapyridinium cations at the air/water interface and on HOPG surfaces.

Mono- and multilayers of a novel amphiphilic hexapyridinium cation with six eicosyl chains (3) are spread at the air/water interface as well as on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). On water, the monolayer of 3 is investigated by recording surface pressure/area and surface potential/area isotherms, and by Brewster angle microscopy (BAM). Self-organized tubular micelles with an internal edge-on orientation of molecules form at the air/water interface at low surface pressure whereas multilayers are present at high surface pressure, after a phase transition. Packing motifs suggesting a tubular arrangement of the constituting molecules were gleaned from atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigations of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers being transferred on HOPG at different surface pressures. These LB film structures are compared to the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 3 formed via adsorption from a supersaturated solution, which is studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). On HOPG the SAM of 3 consists of nanorods with a highly ordered edge-on packing of the aromatic rings and an arrangement of alkyl chains which resembles the packing of molecules at the air/water interface at low surface pressure. Additional details of the molecular packing were gleaned from single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the hexapyridinium model compound 2b, which possesses methyl instead of eicosyl residues.     

Synthesis, characterization and Schlenk equilibrium studies of methylmagnesium compounds with O- and N-donor ligands - the unexpected behavior of [MgMeBr(pmdta)] (pmdta = N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine)

MgMe₂ (1) was found to react with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (dabco) in tetrahydrofuran (thf) yielding a binuclear complex [{MgMe₂(thf)}₂(μ-dabco)] (2). Furthermore, from reactions of MgMeBr with diglyme (diethylene glycol dimethyl ether), NEt₃, and tmeda (N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) in etheral solvents compounds MgMeBr(L), (L = diglyme (5); NEt₃ (6); tmeda (7)) were obtained as highly air- and moisture-sensitive white powders. From a thf solution of 7 crystals of [MgMeBr(thf)(tmeda)] (8) were obtained. Reactions of MgMeBr with pmdta (N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) in thf resulted in formation of [MgMeBr(pmdta)] (9) in nearly quantitative yield. On the other hand, the same reaction in diethyl ether gave MgMeBr(pmdta) · MgBr₂(pmdta) (10) and [{MgMe₂(pmdta)}₇{MgMeBr(pmdta)}] (11) in 24% and 2% yield, respectively, as well as [MgMe₂(pmdta)] (12) as colorless needle-like crystals in about 26% yield. The synthesized methylmagnesium compounds were characterized by microanalysis and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The coordination-induced shifts of the ¹H and ¹³C nuclei of the ligands are small; the largest ones were found in the tmeda and pmdta complexes. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed in 2 a tetrahedral environment of the Mg atoms with a bridging dabco ligand and in 8 a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination of the Mg atom. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of [MgMe₂(pmdta)] (12) and [MgBr₂(pmdta)] (13) showed them to be monomeric with five-coordinate Mg atoms. The square-pyramidal coordination polyhedra are built up of three N and two C atoms in 12 and three N and two Br atoms in 13. The apical positions are occupied by methyl and bromo ligands, respectively. Temperature-dependent ¹H NMR spectroscopic measurements (from 27 to −80 °C) of methylmagnesium bromide complexes MgMeBr(L) (L = thf (4); diglyme (5); NEt₃ (6); tmeda (7)) in thf-d₈ solutions indicated that the deeper the temperature the more the Schlenk equilibria are shifted to the dimethylmagnesium/dibromomagnesium species. Furthermore, at −80 °C the dimethylmagnesium compounds are predominant in the solutions of Grignard compounds 4-6 whereas in the case of the tmeda complex7 the equilibrium constant was roughly estimated to be 0.25. In contrast, [MgMeBr(pmdta)] (9) in thf-d₈ revealed no dismutation into [MgMe₂(pmdta)] (12) and [MgBr₂(pmdta)] (13) even up to −100 °C. In accordance with this unexpected behavior, 1:1 mixtures of 12 and 13 were found to react in thf at room temperature yielding quantitatively the corresponding Grignard compound 9. Moreover, the structures of [MgMeBr(pmdta)] (9c), [MgMe₂(pmdta)] (12c), and [MgBr₂(pmdta)] (13c) were calculated on the DFT level of theory. The calculated structures 12c and 13c are in a good agreement with the experimentally observed structures 12 and 13. The equilibrium constant of the Schlenk equilibrium (2 9c ? 12c + 13c) was calculated to be K_gas = 2.0 × 10⁻³ (298 K) in the gas phase. Considering the solvent effects of both thf and diethyl ether using a polarized continuum model (PCM) the corresponding equilibrium constants were calculated to be K_thf = 1.2 × 10⁻³ and K_ether = 3.2 × 10⁻³ (298 K), respectively.
