Regioselective synthesis of 6-trifluoromethyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-b]pyran derivatives

A facile two-step procedure for the synthesis of 6-(trifluoromethyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-b]pyran derivatives (4) from the reaction of 4-arylidene-3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolones (1) with ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate (2), a versatile fluorinated building-block, was presented. Furthermore, to increase the efficiency of this reaction, the more convenient one-pot three-component process was also developed with a slightly lower yield. Treatment of 4 with P₂O₅, conc. H₂SO₄, POCl₃/Py or p-TsOH under the drastic conditions did not afford the corresponding dehydrated products.     

Synthesis, structural and larvicidal studies of some triorganotin 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyrates

A series of triorganotin 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyrates, (R₃SnO₂CCH(CH(CH₃)₂)C₆H₄Cl-4), where R = methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, phenyl and cyclo-hexyl, have been synthesized. Elemental analyses, Mössbauer, Infrared and NMR spectroscopies have been used to characterize their structures. Based on the spectroscopic results, all the complexes with the exception of the tricyclohexyl compound were found to be five-coordinated in the solid state while the tricyclohexyltin derivative was determined to be four-coordinated. Structural assignments based on spectroscopic data are supported by the crystallographic results of four of the triorganotin butyrates (trimethyl-, tri-n-propyl-, tri-n-butyl- and tricyclohexyltin 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyrate). Multinuclear NMR spectroscopy studies indicated that all the complexes were tetrahedral in solution. Larvicidal activities of the complexes were evaluated against the 2nd instar stage of the Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. The toxicity data indicate that there does not appear to be any significant differences of the compounds towards the different mosquito species based on their averaged toxicity values. In addition, the toxicity of the triorganotin compounds towards the mosquito larvae was concluded to be dependent on both the compound and the species of mosquito larvae.     

Two unprecedented inorganic-organic boxlike and chainlike hybrids based on arsenic-vanadium clusters linked by nickel complexes

Two novel organic-inorganic hybrid arsenic-vanadates, [{Ni(en)₂}₄(4,4′-bipy)₄{Ni(H₂O)₂}]₂[As₈V₁₄O₄₂(NO₃)]₄·16H₂O 1 and [Ni(en)₂(H₂O)₂]₂[{Ni(en)₂(H₂O)}₂As₈V₁₄O₄₂(NO₃)][{Ni(en)₂}As₈V₁₄O₄₂(NO₃)]·6H₂O 2 are reported in this study. Crystal data for compound 1: Tetragonal, I4/m, a=27.507(4) Å, b=27.507(4) Å, c=22.101(4) Å; V=16722(5) Å³, Z=2, R(final)=0.0508. Crystal data for compound 2: Triclinic, P-1, a=11.530(2) Å, b=14.883(3) Å, c=21.330(4) Å, α=76.94(3)°, β=76.58(3)°, γ=69.54(3)°, V=3293.4(1) Å³, Z=1, R(final)=0.0559. The boxlike structure of compound 1 is designed from [{Ni(en)₂}₄(4,4′-bipy)₄{Ni(H₂O)₂}] sheets pillared by [α-As₈V₁₄O₄₂] clusters, which represents the first mixed-organic ligand-decorated tetrameric As-V-O cluster. Compound 2 is constructed from the rarely [β-As₈V₁₄O₄₂] clusters and Ni coordination complex fragments. The electrochemical property and magnetic property of compound 1 have been studied.     

Nanosized aluminum nitride hollow spheres formed through a self-templating solid-gas interface reaction

Nanosized aluminum nitride hollow spheres were synthesized by simply heating aluminum nanoparticles in ammonia at 1000 °C. The as-synthesized sphere shells are polycrystalline with cavity diameters ranging from 15 to 100 nm and shell thickness from 5 to 15 nm. The formation mechanism can be explained by the nanoscale Kirkendall effect, which results from the difference in diffusion rates between aluminum and nitrogen. The Al nanoparticles served as both reactant and templates for the hollow sphere formation. The effects of precursor particle size and temperature were also investigated in terms of product morphology. Room temperature cathode luminescence spectrum of the nanosized hollow spheres showed a broad emission band centered at 415 nm, which is originated from oxygen related luminescence centers. The hollow structure survived a 4-h heat treatment at 1200 °C, exhibiting excellent thermal stability.

A new three‐dimensional neutral framework of lanthanum oxalate: [La2(C2O4)3(DMF)(H2O)3]n

In the title complex, poly[triaquabis(dimethylformamide)di‐μ₃‐oxalato‐μ₂‐oxalato‐dilanthanum(III)], [La₂(C₂O₄)₃(C₃H₇NO)(H₂O)₃]_n, both La ions are coordinated by nine O atoms, forming slightly distorted tricapped trigonal prisms. The two La ions, the terminal water O atom, and the O and N atoms of the dimethylformamide molecule reside on twofold rotation axes, giving the two La‐centered coordination geometries twofold or pseudo‐twofold symmetries. The two oxalate ligands, one of which rests on a center of inversion at the mid‐point of the C—C bond, adopt different bridging modes, connecting with the La ions to form two types of lanthanide oxalate chains, i.e. anionic {[La(C₂O₄)₂(DMF)(H₂O)₂]ⁿ⁻}_n (DMF is dimethylformamide) and cationic zigzag {[La(C₂O₄)(H₂O)]ⁿ⁺}_n, respectively. Each zigzag cationic chain is linked to four adjacent anionic chains via the bridging oxalate anions, and each anionic chain connects with four zigzag cationic chains, constructing a three‐dimensional neutral framework.
