Charge transfer complex formation between p-chloranil and 1,n-di(9-anthryl)alkanes

Dimer model compounds of polyvinylanthracenes (1,n-di(9-anthryl)alkanes, when n=1-5) were synthesized to model the effects of distance and orientation between anthracene groups in polymeric systems. Charge transfer (CT) complexes of anthracene, 9-methylanthracene and 1,n-di(9-anthryl)alkanes with p-chloranil (p-CHL) have been investigated spectrophotometrically in dichloromethane. The colored products are measured spectrophotometrically at different wavelength depending on the electronic transition between donors and acceptor. The formation constants of the CT complexes were determined by the Benesi-Hildebrand equation. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated by Van't Hoff equation. Stochiometries of the complexes formed between donors and acceptor were defined by the Job's method of the continuous variation and found in 1:1 complexation with donor and acceptor at the maximum absorption bands.     

Charge transfer complex studies between some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and pi-electron acceptors

Charge transfer (CT) complexes of some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, naproxen and etodolac which are electron donors with some pi-acceptors, such as tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ), p-chloranil (p-CHL), have been investigated spectrophotometrically in chloroform at 21 degrees C. The coloured products are measured spectrophotometrically at different wavelength depending on the electronic transition between donors and acceptors. Beer's law is obeyed and colours were produced in non-aqueous media. All complexes were stable at least 2 h except for etodolac with DDQ stable for 5 min. The equilibrium constants of the CT complexes were determined by the Benesi-Hildebrand equation. The thermodynamic parameters DeltaH, DeltaS, DeltaG degrees were calculated by Van't Hoff equation. Stochiometries of the complexes formed between donors and acceptors were defined by the Job's method of the continuous variation and found in 1:1 complexation with donor and acceptor at the maximum absorption bands in all cases.     

Enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of pro-chiral ketones catalyzed by novel ruthenium and iridium complexes of well-designed phosphinite ligand

Abstract

The interaction of [Ru(η⁶-arene)(μ-Cl)Cl]₂ and Ir(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(μ-Cl)Cl]₂ with a new Ionic Liquid-based phosphinite ligand, [(Ph₂PO)-C₆H₉N₂Ph]Cl, (2) gave [Ru((Ph₂PO)-C₆H₉N₂Ph)(η⁶-p-cymene)Cl₂]Cl (3), [Ru((Ph₂PO)-C₆H₉N₂Ph)(benzene)Cl₂]Cl (4) and [Ir((Ph₂PO)-C₆H₉N₂Ph)(C₅Me₅)Cl₂]Cl (5), complexes. All the compounds were characterized by a combination of multinuclear NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis. Furthermore, the Ru(II) and Ir(III) catalysts were applied to asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives using 2-propanol as a hydrogen source. The results showed that the corresponding alcohols could be obtained with good activity (up to 55% ee and 99% conversion) under mild conditions. Notably, [Ir((Ph₂PO)-C₆H₉N₂Ph)(C₅Me₅)Cl₂]Cl (5) is more active than the other analogous complexes in the transfer hydrogenation (up to 81% ee).

1-(4-Chloro-benzoyl)-3-naphthalen-1-yl-thiourea has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with a = 6.962(1) Å, b = 10.770(3) Å, c = 11.738(2) Å, = 65.76(2)°, = 80.03(1)°, = 84.86(2)°, and D _calc= 1.432 g cm^–1 for Z = 2. The thermal behavior of the compound has been studied by DTA and TG. The antibacterial activities of the title compound were investigated for three Gram (+) and two Gram (–) bacteria by employing broth microdilution method and subsequently, inhibitory activity against yeast-like fungi was also determined.     

Generalized difference sequence spaces on seminormed space defined by Orlicz functions

In this paper we define the sequence space ℓ _M (Δ ^m , p, q, s) on a seminormed complex linear space by using an Orlicz function. We study its different algebraic and topological properties like solidness, symmetricity, monotonicity, convergence free etc. We prove some inclusion relations involving ℓ _M (Δ ^m , p, q, s).      

On generalized recurrent Riemannian manifolds

The object of the present paper is to study a type of Riemannian manifolds called generalized recurrent manifolds. We have constructed two concrete examples of such a manifold whose scalar curvature is non-zero non-constant. Some other properties have been considered. Among others it is shown that on a generalized recurrent manifold with constant scalar curvature, Weyl-semisymmetry and semisymmetry are equivalent. Sufficient condition for a generalized recurrent manifold to be a special quasi Einstein manifold is obtained.
