Cationic crosslinking of solid dgeba resins with ytterbium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate as initiator

Solid bisphenol-A epoxy resin of medium molecular mass was cured using a Lewis acid initiator (ytterbium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate) in three different proportions (0.5, 1 and 2 phr). A kinetic study was performed in a differential scanning calorimeter. The complete kinetic triplet was determined (activation energy, pre-exponential factor, and integral function of the degree of conversion) for each system. A kinetic analysis was performed with an integral isoconversional procedure (free model), and the kinetic model was determined both with the Coats-Redfern method (the obtained isoconversional value being accepted as the effective activation energy) and through the compensation effect. All the systems followed the same isothermal curing model simulated from non-isothermal ones. The growth-of-nuclei Avrami kinetic model A_3/2 has been proposed as the polymerization kinetic model. The addition of initiator accelerated the reaction especially when 2 phr was added. 0.5 and 1 phr showed very few kinetic differences between them.     

Thermal analysis of iron(II) sulphate heptahydrate in air. V

The thermal decomposition of the hydroxysulphate and oxysulphate of iron(III) was carried out in air. Under dynamic conditions, the hydroxysulphate decomposes to the oxysulphate, which in turn decomposes to iron(III) oxide and sulphur oxides. The oxysulphate decomposes directly to iron(III) oxide and sulphur oxides. The heats of decomposition and heats of formation of the two basic sulphates were calculated.     

New pyrrolopyridazine derivatives as blue organic luminophors

New pyrrolopyridazine derivatives were synthesized as potential blue organic luminophors. Three different classes of pyrrolopyridazine derivatives were made, for example, aryl groups directly connected to the core PPY (pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-5,6,7-tricarboxylic acid trimethyl ester) moiety, aryl groups connected to the PPY via a vinylene linker and aryl groups connected to the PPY via an acetylene linker. Their optical and electrochemical properties were productively compared. One of the derivatives 2 showed a relative quantum yield as high as 0.9. Compound 8 in the vinyl bridged pyrrolopyridazine series has been characterized by its X-ray crystal structure analysis.     

Dinuclear and Tetranuclear Cages of Oxodiphenylantimony Phosphinates: Synthesis and Structures

The novel dimeric compounds [Ph(2)Sb(O(2)PR(2))O](2).2CH(2)Cl(2) [R = cycl-C(6)H(11) (2) and cycl-C(8)H(15) (3)] have been synthesized by reacting diphenylantimony trichloride (1) with 3 mol equiv of silver acetate followed by 1 mol equiv of the phosphinic acid. By the same route under more stringent conditions to exclude moisture, the mixed phosphinate-acetate [Ph(2)Sb(O(2)P(C(6)H(11))(2))(O(2)CMe)](2)O (4) was isolated and characterized. Treatment of 2 with acetic acid/water affords the tetranuclear cage Ph(8)Sb(4)O(4)(OH)(2)(O(2)P(C(6)H(11))(2))(2).CH(3)COOH.CH(2)Cl(2) (5); it is possible to convert 5 to 2 by heating it with an excess of the phosphinic acid. Compounds 2, 3, and 5 have been characterized by X-ray structural analysis. All of them possess four membered Sb(2)O(2) rings with hexacoordinated antimony. In 5 the antimony atoms in the two Sb(2)O(2) rings are connected by oxo bridges on two sides to give an Sb(4)O(6) cage. These structures are correlated with those of known tin cages.     

Chlorophosphonates: inexpensive precursors for stereodefined chloro-substituted olefins and unsymmetrical disubstituted acetylenes

New chlorophosphonates bearing a 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane ring which are useful for the stereospecific synthesis of 5-chlorofurfuryl substituted olefins and chloro-substituted dienes have been obtained by an easy, inexpensive route. The utility of some of these in the synthesis of ferrocenyl- and anthracenyl-substituted unsymmetrical acetylenes has been explored. The structures of the phosphonates (OCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)O)P(O)CH(2)(C(4)H(2)ClO) (4) and (OCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)O)P(O)(CH=CHCH(Cl)Ph (7) have been determined; in addition, the stereochemistry of (5-chlorofurfuryl)CH=CH(4-ClC(6)H(4)) (13b) and 2, 4-Cl(2)C(6)H(3)-CH=CH-CH=C(Ph)Cl (14a) is unambiguously proved by the X-ray structure determination.     

Characterisation and antimicrobial activity studies of the mixed ligand complexes of Cu(II) With 8-hydroxyquinoline and salicylic acids

Mixed ligand complexes of copper(II) with 8-hydroxyquinoline and various salicylic acids were isolated. Elemental analysis, conductometric andIR data of these complexes were recorded. The esr and electronic spectral data of these complexes indicate distorted square planar coordination for central copper ion. The σ bond and inplane π bond coefficients α² and β² respectively, of these complexes indicate partial covalency in the metal ligand bonding. The antimicrobial activity studies show that the mixed ligand complexes act as more effective toxic agents thanbis (8-hydroxyquinolinato) copper(II) against certain bacteria and fungi. The lipophilic tendency of these complexes is determined and its influence on their antimicrobial activity is critically examined. A probable mechanism for the antimicrobial activity of these complexes is discussed Presented at theXXII International Conference on Coordination Chemistry held at Budapest, Hungary, Aug 23–27, 1982

Summary Complexes of palladium(II) with 2-(acetylamino)benzoic acid, 2-(benzoylamino)benzoic acid, 2-[2-aminobenzoylamino]benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy benzanilide, 2-mercapto benzanilide, maleanilic acid, 2-(amino carbonyl)benzoic acid, 2-[(phenylamino)carbonyl]benzoic acid, 2-[(1-naphthalenylamino)carbonyl]benzoic acid, 2-[(2-aminophenylamino)carbonyl]benzoic acid, salicylanilide, 2-(aminobenzoyl)benzoic acid and 2-aminobenzamide have been prepared and characterized by chemical analyses, molar conductivity measurements, thermal data and i.r., electronic and n.m.r. spectra.     

Apical versus equatorial disposition of substituents in tetraoxyphosphoranes bearing a 1,3,2-dioxaphosphocin ring: implications on apicophilicity in trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus

New spirocyclic (amino/amido)tetraoxyphosphoranes CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(NRR')(O(2)C(6)Cl(4)) [R = Me, R' = Ph (1), R = R' = i-Pr (2); R = R' = H (3); R = H, R' = Ph (4)] and the isothiocyanatotetraoxyphosphorane CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(NCS)(O(2)C(6)Cl(4)) (5) have been synthesized. X-ray crystallography for these compounds reveals that -N(Me)Ph, -N(i-Pr)(2), and -NCS groups occupy an apical position whereas -NH(2) and -NHPh groups occupy an equatorial position in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry around phosphorus. These results are in contrast with the common assumption that a sterically bulky and less electronegative substituent [e.g. -N(i-Pr)(2)] should be less apicophilic than a sterically small and more electronegative substituent (e.g. -NH(2)). The possible rationalization for these results is discussed. Variable-temperature ((1)H, (31)P) NMR spectra of these compounds show some unusual features not reported before for pentacoordinate phosphorus. Probable intramolecular processes involving (i) apical-equatorial <--> equatorial-apical exchange, (ii) apical-equatorial <--> equatorial-equatorial exchange, and (iii) boat-chair <--> tub (for the eight-membered ring) interconversion as well as cessation of the P-N bond rotation have been invoked to explain the spectral features.     

Addition products of a P(III)-isothiocyanate to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates: a spirocyclic phosphinimine and a triphosphorus heterocycle with tetra- and penta-coordinate phosphorus

Treatment of the P(III) isothiocyanate CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2PNCS (1) with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DEAD) yields the spirocyclic phosphinimines CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2P[NC(S)C(CO2R)C(CO2R)][R=Me (2), Et (3)], in a reaction unlike those of organic isocyanates. From the reaction of 1 with DEAD, a second product, the triphosphorus compound 5, with the composition [2x1+3] but with a completely reorganized structure {CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2P=C(CO2Et)C(CO2Et)=CN-}{CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2P(NCS)}-SC=N-P(S)[(OC6H2-6-t-Bu-4-Me)2CH2] with tetra- and penta-coordinate phosphorus, is also isolated. Structure and reactivity of these compounds are discussed. Addition of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol to 2 or 3 leads to the pentacoordinate phosphorus compounds [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2P(OCH2CF3){C(CO2R)C(CO2R)-C(S)-NH-}][R=Me (6), Et (7)]. The phosphonate [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2P(O)C(CO2Et)=C(CO2Et)-C(S)-NH2] (8) is obtained by evaporating a solution of 7 in open air.     

The 1:1 inclusion compounds zolmitriptan–benzene and zolmitriptan–phenol

In the benzene and phenol solvates of (S)‐4‐{3‐[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl]‐1H‐indol‐5‐ylmethyl}oxazolidin‐2‐one, viz. C₁₆H₂₁N₃O₂·C₆H₆, (I), and C₁₆H₂₁N₃O₂·C₆H₅OH, (II), the host molecule has three linked residues, namely a planar indole ring system, an ethylamine side chain and an oxazolidinone system. It has comparable features to that of sumatriptan, although the side‐chain orientations of (I) and (II) differ from those of sumatriptan. Both (I) and (II) have host–guest‐type structures. The host molecule in (I) and (II) has an L‐shaped form, with the oxazolidinone ring occupying the base and the remainder of the molecule forming the upright section. In (I), each benzene guest molecule is surrounded by four host molecules, and these molecules are linked by a combination of N—H...N, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains of edge‐fused R₄⁴(33) rings. In (II), two independent molecules are present in the asymmetric unit, with similar conformations. The heterocyclic components are connected through N—H...N, N—H...O and C—H...O interactions to form chains of edge‐fused R₆⁴(38) rings, from which the phenol guest molecules are pendent, linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The structures are further stabilized by extensive C—H...π interactions.
