A series of octahedral ruthenium silyl hydride complexes, cis-(PMe(3))(4)Ru(SiR(3))H (SiR(3) = SiMe(3), 1a; SiMe(2)CH(2)SiMe(3), 1b; SiEt(3), 1c; SiMe(2)H, 1d), has been synthesized by the reaction of hydrosilanes with (PMe(3))(3)Ru(eta(2)-CH(2)PMe(2))H (5), cis-(PMe(3))(4)RuMe(2) (6), or (PMe(3))(4)RuH(2) (9). Reaction with 6 proceeds via an intermediate product, cis-(PMe(3))(4)Ru(SiR(3))Me (SiR(3) = SiMe(3), 7a; SiMe(2)CH(2)SiMe(3), 7b). Alternatively, 1 and 7 have been synthesized via a fast hydrosilane exchange with another cis-(PMe(3))(4)Ru(SiR(3))H or cis-(PMe(3))(4)Ru(SiR(3))Me, which occurs at a rate approaching the NMR time scale. Compounds 1a, 1b, 1d, and 7a adopt octahedral geometries in solution and the solid state with mutually cis silyl and hydride (or silyl and methyl) ligands. The longest Ru-P distance within a complex is always trans to Si, reflecting the strong trans influence of silicon. The aptitude of phosphine dissociation in these complexes has been probed in reactions of 1a, 1c, and 7a with PMe(3)-d(9) and CO. The dissociation is regioselective in the position trans to a silyl ligand (trans effect of Si), and the rate approaches the NMR time scale. A slower secondary process introduces PMe(3)-d(9) and CO in the other octahedral positions, most likely via nondissociative isomerization. The trans effect and trans influence in 7a are so strong that an equilibrium concentration of dissociated phosphine is detectable (approximately 5%) in solution of pure 7a. Compounds 1a-c also react with dihydrogen via regioselective dissociation of phosphine from the site trans to Si, but the final product, fac-(PMe(3))(3)Ru(SiR(3))H(3) (SiR(3) = SiMe(3), 4a; SiMe(2)CH(2)SiMe(3), 4b; SiEt(3), 4c), features hydrides cis to Si. Alternatively, 4a-c have been synthesized by photolysis of (PMe(3))(4)RuH(2) in the presence of a hydrosilane or by exchange of fac-(PMe(3))(3)Ru(SiR(3))H(3) with another HSiR(3). The reverse manifold - HH elimination from 4a and trapping with PMe(3) or PMe(3)-d(9) - is also regioselective (1a-d(9)() is predominantly produced with PMe(3)-d(9) trans to Si), but is very unfavorable. At 70 degrees C, a slower but irreversible SiH elimination also occurs and furnishes (PMe(3))(4)RuH(2). The structure of 4a exhibits a tetrahedral P(3)Si environment around the metal with the three hydrides adjacent to silicon and capping the P(2)Si faces. Although strong Si...HRu interactions are not indicated in the structure or by IR, the HSi distances (2.13-2.23(5) A) suggest some degree of nonclassical SiH bonding in the H(3)SiR(3) fragment. Thermolysis of 1a in C(6)D(6) at 45-55 degrees C leads to an intermolecular CD activation of C(6)D(6). Extensive H/D exchange into the hydride, SiMe(3), and PMe(3) ligands is observed, followed by much slower formation of cis-(PMe(3))(4)Ru(D)(Ph-d(5)). In an even slower intramolecular CH activation process, (PMe(3))(3)Ru(eta(2)-CH(2)PMe(2))H (5) is also produced. The structure of intermediates, mechanisms, and aptitudes for PMe(3) dissociation and addition/elimination of H-H, Si-H, C-Si, and C-H bonds in these systems are discussed with a special emphasis on the trans effect and trans influence of silicon and ramifications for SiC coupling catalysis. 相似文献
A method for the determination of the stability constants of mixed ligand Complexes of metals is described. The influence of the buffer components ammonia (NH3), imidazole (Im)and hexamethylenetetramine (U) on the murcury (II)-TTHA system was investigated. The binuclear mercury (II)-TTHA chelate has a strong tendancy to coordinate two additional ligands. The following stability constants of mixed ligand chelates were determined:. Potentiometric titrations were performed to check the effects of the buffers on compleximetric titrations. 相似文献
Gas-phase reactivity of five differently substituted positively charged phenyl radicals was examined toward six amino acids by using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR). The reactivity of the radicals studied was determined by the electrophilicity of the radical, which can be characterized by the radical's electron affinity (EA). The larger the electron affinity of the radical, the higher the overall reaction rate. In addition to the expected H-atom abstraction, several unprecedented reaction pathways were observed, including NH2 abstraction, SH abstraction, and SCH3 abstraction. These reaction pathways dominate for the most electrophilic radicals, and they may not follow radical but rather nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanisms. Hydrogen abstraction from glycine was also investigated theoretically. The results indicate that hydrogen abstraction from alphaC of glycine is both kinetically and thermodynamically favored over the NH2 group. The ordering of transition state energies for hydrogen abstraction from the alphaC and NH2 groups was found to reflect the radicals' EA ordering. 相似文献

Methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-b-oligo-L-lactate (mPEG-b-OLA) diblock oligomers with monodisperse OLA blocks were obtained by fractionation of polydisperse block oligomers using preparative HPLC. The fractionated oligomers were composed of an mPEG block with a molecular weight of 350, 550, or 750 and an OLA block with a degree of polymerization of 4, 6, 8, or 10. The diblock oligomers with a low PEG content were fully amorphous, with glass transition temperatures ranging from -60 to -20 degrees C, indicating that the blocks were miscible. Upon heating aqueous dispersions of the block oligomers, cloud points, depending on the PEG/OLA ratio of the block oligomer, were observed at temperatures above 40 degrees C. The monodispersity of the hydrophobic block enabled the amphiphilic molecules to form nanoparticles in water with a hydrodynamic radius of 130-300 nm, at concentrations above the critical aggregation concentration (0.4-1 mg/mL), whereas polydisperse mPEG-b-OLAs gave formation of large aggregates. Static light scattering measurements showed that the nanoparticles have a low density (0.6-25 mg/mL), indicating that the particles are highly hydrated. In agreement herewith, the (1)H NMR spectra of nanoparticles in D2O closely resembled spectra in a good solvent for both blocks (CDCl3). It is therefore suggested that the nanoparticles contain a hydrated core of mPEG-b-OLA block oligomers, stabilized by a thin outer PEG layer. The particles were stable for two weeks, except for the mPEG350 series and mPEG750-b-OLA4, indicating that both the PEG block size and the PEG weight fraction of the oligomers determine their stability. The evident self-emulsifying properties of mPEG-b-oligo-l-lactates with monodisperse hydrophobic blocks as demonstrated in this study, together with their expected biocompatibility and biodegradability, make these systems well suitable for pharmaceutical applications. 相似文献
The distribution functionPL(s) of the local order parameters in finite blocks of linear dimensionL is studied for Ising lattices of dimensionalityd=2, 3 and 4. Apart from the case where the block is a subsystem of an infinite lattice, also the distribution in finite systems with free [PL(f)(s)] and periodic [PL(p)(s)
] boundary conditions is treated. Above the critical pointTc, these distributions tend for largeL towards the same gaussian distribution centered around zero block magnetization, while belowTc these distributions tend towards two gaussians centered at ±M, whereM is the spontaneous magnetization appearing in the infinite systems. However, belowTc the wings of the distribution at small |s| are distinctly nongaussian, reflecting two-phase coexistence. Hence the distribution functions can be used to obtain the interface tension between ordered phases.At criticality, the distribution functions tend for largeL towards scaled universal forms, though dependent on the boundary conditions. These scaling functions are estimated from Monte Carlo simulations. For subsystem-blocks, good agreement with previous renormalization group work of Bruce is obtained.As an application, it is shown that Monte Carlo studies of critical phenomena can be improved in several ways using these distribution functions:(i) standard estimates of order parameter, susceptibility, interface tension are improved(ii) Tc can be estimated independent of critical exponent estimates(iii) A Monte Carlo renormalization group similar to Nightingale's phenomenological renormalization is proposed, which yields fairly accurate exponent estimates with rather moderate effort(iv) Information on coarse-grained hamiltonians can be gained, which is particularly interesting if the method is extended to more general Hamiltonians. 相似文献
A renormalization group for polymer chains with hard-core interaction is considered, where a chain ofN0 links of lengthl0 and hard-core diameterh0 is mapped onto a chain ofN1=N0/s links of lengthl1 and hard-core diameterh1. The lengthl1 is defined in terms of suitable interior distances of the original chain, andh1 is found from the condition that the end-to-end distance is left invariant. This renormalization group procedure is carried through by various Monte-Carlo methods (simple sampling is found advantageous for short enough chains or high dimensionalities, while dynamic methods involving kinkjumps or reptation are used else). Particular attention is paid to investigate systematic errors of the method by checking the dependence of the results on bothN0 ands. It is found that for dimensionalitiesd=2, 3 only the nontrivial fixed-point is stable, where upon iteration the ratio k=hk/lk tends to nonzero fixed-point value *, while ford=4,5 the method converges to the gaussian fixed point with *=0. Taking both statistical and systematic errors into account, we estimate the exponentv asv=0.74±0.01 (d=2) andv =0.59±0.01 (d=3). The results are consistent with the expected crossover exponents =1/2 (d=3) and =1 (d=2), respectively. 相似文献
The structure and conformations of trans- and of cis-bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane have been studied in the gas phase. Molecular mechanics calculations applying the force field of Ermer and Lifson were used to obtain geometrical constraints, vibrational amplitudes and perpendicular vibrational corrections. The vibrational parameters were corrected for the large amplitude motion of the five-membered ring. The refinement for the trans-isomer confirms completely the predictions of the force field calculations. Although a stable solution could not be obtained for the cis-compound there is no contradiction between experiment and model calculations. The cyclohexane ring in both isomers is found to have a distorted chair conformation. In the cis-isomer it is flattened along the junction and more twisted in the other part. For the trans-compound the reverse is true.The following structural parameters rg, rα-structure) are put forward, (a) trans-compound: C2-symmetry, r(C-C)av = 1.536 Å. Average bond angle and average torsion angle in the cyclohexane ring are 110.2° and 58.1°, respectively. The connection angle, defined as the angle between the planes bisecting C6-C1-C5-C9 and C2-C1-C5-C4, is 180°. (b) cis-compound: no symmetry, r(C-C)av = 1.536 Å. Average bond and torsion angles in the cyclohexane ring are 112.2° and 52.3°, respectively. The connection angle is 124.8°.A comparison is made with structures of related compounds. 相似文献
Ab initio molecular orbital theory using basis sets up to 6-311G* *, with electron correlation incorporated via configuration interaction calculations with single and double substitutions, has been used to study the structures and energies of the C3H2 monocation and dication. In agreement with recent experimental observations, we find evidence for stable cyclic and linear isomers of [C3H2]+ ˙. The cyclic structure (, a) represents the global minimum on the [C3H2]+ ˙ potential energy surface. The linear isomer (, b) lies somewhat higher in energy, 53 kJ mol?1 above a. The calculated heat of formation for [HCCCH]+ ˙ (1369 kJ mol?1) is in good agreement with a recent experimental value (1377 kJ mol?1). For the [C3H2]2+ dication, the lowest energy isomer corresponds to the linear [HCCCH]2+ singlet (h). Other singlet and triplet isomers are found not to be competitive in energy. The [HCCCH]2+ dication (h) is calculated to be thermodynamically stable with respect to deprotonation and with respect to C? C cleavage into CCH+ + CH+. The predicted stability is consistent with the frequent observation of [C3H2]2+ in mass spectrometric experiments. Comparison of our calculated ionization energies for the process [C3H2]+ ˙ → [C3H2]2+ with the Qmin values derived from charge-stripping experiments suggests that the ionization is accompanied by a significant change in structure. 相似文献
High-level ab initio calculations have been used to study the mechanism for the inactivation of diol dehydratase (DDH) by glycolaldehyde or 2-chloroacetaldehyde. As in the case of the catalytic substrates of DDH, e.g., ethane-1,2-diol, the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical (Ado*) is able to abstract a hydrogen atom from both substrate analogues in the initial step on the reaction pathway, as evidenced by comparable energy barriers. However, in subsequent step(s), each substrate analogue produces the highly stable glycolaldehyde radical. The barrier for hydrogen atom reabstraction by the glycolaldehyde radical is calculated to be too high ( approximately 110 kJ mol-1) to allow Ado* to be regenerated and recombine with the cob(II)alamin radical, the latter therefore remaining tightly bound to DDH. As a consequence, the catalytic pathway is disrupted, and DDH becomes an impotent enzyme. Interconversion of equivalent structures of the glycolaldehyde radical via the symmetrical cis-ethanesemidione radical is calculated to require 38 kJ mol-1. EPR indications of a symmetrical cis-ethanesemidione structure are likely to be the result of formation of an equilibrium mixture of glycolaldehyde radical structures, this equilibration being facilitated by partial deprotonation of the glycolaldehyde radical by the carboxylate of an amino acid residue within the active site of DDH. 相似文献
