2,4-Dioxo-4-(4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone-3-yl)butyric acid ethyl ester: Reagent for identifying and estimating metal ions in ring oven analysis

Ligand gave variously colored or fluorescent rings when reacted with several kinds of ions on a ring oven (Schleicher and Schuell filter paper 589²). With ions of Al(III), Be(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Fe(III), and Ni(II) the reactions were sensitive enough to enable application of ring colorimetry or fluorometry (excitation at 366 nm) for quantitation (detection limits, 0.1–2.0 μg of metal). A procedure for estimation of Al(III), Cr(III), and Fe(III) in mixtures was based on reaction with Ligand in combination with EDTA pretreatment, but omitting ion separation. Al(III) could be estimated reliably at its detection-limit-level, in the presence of up to 100 times as much of both Cr(III) and Fe(III).     

1,3‐Benzothia­zole‐6‐carboxamidinium chloride dihydrate

The title compound, C₈H₈N₃S⁺·Cl⁻·2H₂O, has been synthesized and characterized both spectroscopically and structurally. The structure consists of 1,3‐benzothia­zole‐6‐carboxamidinium cations, chloride anions and water mol­ecules, all interconnected by hydrogen bonds into a three‐dimensional network. The 1,3‐benzo­thia­zole moiety is inclined to the 6‐­amidine group by 36.71 (9)°.     

Pivaloylated glucoconjugates with heterocyclic oximes

Condensation of tetra-O-pivaloyl-α-d-glucopy-ranosyl bromide (1) with three heterocyclic oximes: 3-hydroxyiminoquinuclidine (2), 4-hydroxyiminomethyl-pyridine (3) and N-methyl-2-hydroxyiminomethylimidazole (4) leads to the β-N-glucoconjugates. Conjugates 6 and 7 were synthesized using aromatic compounds 3 and 4 as the starting material. They were obtained in two isomeric forms (E and Z) due to the restricted rotation around the oxime's double bond. The presence of E and Z isomers was proved by comparison of NMR spectra with calculated GIAO/DFT NMR spectra on B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory and by X-ray structural analysis of starting oxime reagents. Isomery was not observed in the quinuclidinium glucoconjugate 5.     

Pair-wise interactions by gas chromatography. VII. Interaction free enthalpies of solutes with secondary alcohol groups

A polar type liquid having a secondary alcohol substituent on a branched alkane skeleton, SOH, was used as stationary phase. The molecules of this stationary phase are nearly isomorphous and isochor with those of the branched alkane, C78, elected as standard, i.e., the molecules of both solvents have nearly the same form and the same size. Partition properties of 158 chosen molecular probes were measured by gas chromatography on SOH and on an SOH-C78 mixture having a volume fraction of thetaOH = 0.5. Based on the resulting data an interaction free enthalpy could be calculated, i.e., the additional effect of the secondary alcohol to partition. Comparison with data determined earlier on another member of this solvent family, POH, having a primary alcohol as interacting group gives information about the effect of steric hindrance on polar type solute-solvent interaction free energies.

A New Preparation of Mo2(CO)8(μ-PPh2)2 and W2(CO)8(μ-PPh2)2 by a Phosphorus-Carbon Bond Cleavage Reaction. Crystal Structure of a New Polymorph of Mo2(CO)8(μ-PPh2)2

A new synthesis of Mo₂(CO)₈(-PPh₂)₂ and W₂(CO)₈(-PPh₂)₂ by the reaction of molybdenum and tungsten hexacarbonyls with a tetraazamacrocyclic ligand containing —CH₂PPh₂ side chains, comprising cleavage of the phosphorus-methylene bond has been performed. The complexes have been investigated by magnetic and spectroscopic measurements and by single-crystal structure analyses. The structural characterization of a new polymorph of Mo₂(CO)₈(-PPh₂)₂ has been described.     

Stabilization of the N-1-substituted cytosinate iminooxo form in dinuclear palladium complexes

The synthesis, as well as chemical and structural characterization, of 1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)cytosine (1) and its dinuclear complexes of the composition Pd₂(1-TosC^?–N3,N4)₄ (3) and Pd₂(1-TosC^?–N3,N4)₂DMSO₂Cl₂ (4) by means of ESI-MS, IR, ¹H NMR and X-ray single crystal analysis are described. Ligand 1 exists in the preferred aminooxo tautomeric form, while both dinuclear complexes reveal the presence of the iminooxo form of the ligand, where 1-TosC^? stands for the anion of the cytosine derivative of 1, bridging two palladium atoms. Complex 3 has a paddlewheel structure with two square-planar coordination spheres, consisting of four N atoms each, mutually parallel and perpendicular to the interpalladium vector. Complex 4 is characterized by two mutually parallel square-planar coordination spheres consisting of two nitrogens, sulfur from the solvent molecule and a chloride. A feasible chemical route for the formation of 3 and 4 via the kinetically favoured mononuclear complex Pd(1-TosC–N3)₂Cl₂ (2) is proposed, based on the IR, ¹H NMR, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and X-ray structure analysis data.     

The Aubert involution and R-groups

We establish the connection between the standard intertwining operators for a square integrable representation and its Aubert involution. In the cases of special orthogonal groups and symplectic groups, we define the R-group for a nontempered unitary representation, under the assumption that the Aubert involution of the representation is square-integrable.
