Porphyrazines with annulated diazepine rings. 2. Alternative synthetic route to tetrakis-2,3-(5,7-diphenyl-1,4-diazepino)porphyrazines: new metal complexes, general physicochemical data, ultraviolet-visible linear and optical limiting behavior, and electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties

Following a previous report on the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of a novel class of porphyrazines carrying peripherally annulated seven-membered rings, i.e., tetrakis-2,3-(5,7-diphenyl-1,4-diazepino)porphyrazine [Ph(8)DzPzH(2)].4H(2)O and its metal derivatives [Ph(8)DzPzM].xH(2)O (x = 2-7, M = Mg(II)(H(2)O), Cu(II), and Zn(II)), a new more convenient procedure is reported here, allowing the preparation in high yields of the Li(I) and Na(I) derivatives of formulas [Ph(8)DzPzLi(2)].5H(2)O and [Ph(8)DzPzNa(2)].6H(2)O, which can be directly converted into other metal derivatives under mild conditions (room temperature) and in good yields. The series studied has been extended to include the Mn(II) and Co(II) complexes also reported here for the first time. Physicochemical characterization of the new "diazepinoporphyrazines" was based on fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry and X-ray powder patterns, infrared (IR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and room-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. A detailed discussion of the UV-vis spectra emphasizes the role played by the external diazepine rings in electron delocalization through their tautomeric or protonated forms present in neutral, basic, and acidic media. The nonlinear optical effect of optical limiting for the different species [M = 2H, Mg(II)(H(2)O), Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)] has also been measured. It has been observed that the extent of the optical limiting depends on the specific M center. The observed nonlinear optical features are analyzed and discussed in terms of the electronic and magnetic properties exhibited by some of the metal ions and taking into account the model of the excited-state absorption in which the nature of M determines the kinetics of formation of the highly absorbing state of the specific complex examined. As evidenced by the detailed electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical study carried out on this new class of macrocycles, one of the most important aspects is the facilitated electron delocalization for the oxidized and reduced species allowed by a 1H-6Htautomerism taking place on the peripheral diazepine rings.     

First-principle studies of intermolecular and intramolecular catalysis of protonated cocaine

We have performed a series of first-principles electronic structure calculations to examine the reaction pathways and the corresponding free energy barriers for the ester hydrolysis of protonated cocaine in its chair and boat conformations. The calculated free energy barriers for the benzoyl ester hydrolysis of protonated chair cocaine are close to the corresponding barriers calculated for the benzoyl ester hydrolysis of neutral cocaine. However, the free energy barrier calculated for the methyl ester hydrolysis of protonated cocaine in its chair conformation is significantly lower than for the methyl ester hydrolysis of neutral cocaine and for the dominant pathway of the benzoyl ester hydrolysis of protonated cocaine. The significant decrease of the free energy barrier, approximately 4 kcal/mol, is attributed to the intramolecular acid catalysis of the methyl ester hydrolysis of protonated cocaine, because the transition state structure is stabilized by the strong hydrogen bond between the carbonyl oxygen of the methyl ester moiety and the protonated tropane N. The relative magnitudes of the free energy barriers calculated for different pathways of the ester hydrolysis of protonated chair cocaine are consistent with the experimental kinetic data for cocaine hydrolysis under physiologic conditions. Similar intramolecular acid catalysis also occurs for the benzoyl ester hydrolysis of (protonated) boat cocaine in the physiologic condition, although the contribution of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding to transition state stabilization is negligible. Nonetheless, the predictability of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding could be useful in generating antibody-based catalysts that recruit cocaine to the boat conformation and an analog that elicited antibodies to approximate the protonated tropane N and the benzoyl O more closely than the natural boat conformer might increase the contribution from hydrogen bonding. Such a stable analog of the transition state for intramolecular catalysis of cocaine benzoyl-ester hydrolysis was synthesized and used to successfully elicit a number of anticocaine catalytic antibodies.     

Binary vapor–liquid equilibrium of methyl glycolate and ethylene glycol

Vapor pressure of methyl glycolate and the binary isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium of ethylene glycol and methyl glycolate were measured by using static method. The experimental data was correlated with the Wilson and NRTL activity coefficient models. Good agreement between the experimental data and model is achieved.     

Properties and applications of polyacrylacylisothiourea chelating fiber for preconcentration and separation of trace titanium, vanadium and bismuth

An ICP-OES method using a new poly-acrylacylisothiourea chelating fiber to preconcentrate and separate trace Ti(IV), V(V) and Bi(III) ions from solution samples is established. The results show that 5–25 ng/ml of Ti or V and 50–250 ng/ml of Bi ions in 200–1000 ml of solution can be enriched quantitatively by 0.05 g of the fiber at pH 3 with recoveries over 97%. These ions can be desorbed quantitatively with 10 ml of 4M HC1O₄. 100- to 1000-fold excesses of Fe(III), Al(III), Ca(II), Mg(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II) ions cause little interference. The chelating fiber stored for about 2 years can still be used repeatedly for preconcentration and separation of trace Ti, V and Bi ions from solution with above 95% recovery. The RSDs for enrichment and determination of 5 ng/ml of Ti or V and 50 ng/ml of Bi are in the range 2.5–2.8%. The recoveries of added standard in real waste waters and mineral samples are between 96 and 100%, and the concentration found for each ion in the mineral sample was in good agreement with that measured by ETAAS.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 2-Amino-1, 1-diferrocenylethanol

2-Aminoalcohols are useful intermediates in organic chemistry, for example, they serve for the synthesis of various heterocycles1, chelate complexes2, and for the ring expansion of cycloalkanones3. 2-Aminoalcohols containing ferrocene as bidentate ligand may be converted into multinuclear compounds. Several methods for the preparation of 2-aminoalcohols have been developed including reduction of the trimethylsilyl cyanohydrins4 or β-nitromethyl alcohols5 and treatment of the epoxides with a…     

Multiphoton ionization spectroscopy in surface analysis and laser desorption mass spectrometry

The application of resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy for the ultrasensitive detection of molecules originating from laser desorption experiments performed on a variety of substrates is reviewed. Laser-induced desorption from surfaces is capable of producing intact gas-phase molecules, even from polar, non-volatile, high-molecular-weight and thermally labile substances. REMPI is a highly efficient and optically selective ionization method, which, coupled with laser desorption allows the direct chemical analysis of complex mixtures, without the need for previous sample purification and separation steps. The use of REMPI spectroscopy is discussed in two contexts: (1) for the direct chemical analysis of complex mixtures, e.g., environmental samples, by laser desorption/laser postionization mass spectrometry and (2) for measurements of internal state distribution of molecules laser-desorbed from sub-monolayers surface films to gain insight into the laser desorption mechanism.Presented at the 13th International Symposium on Microchemical Techniques (ISM), held in Montreux, Switzerland, May 16–20,1994

We give a positive answer to the question for solutions satisfying certain regularity conditions. © 1997 by B. G. Teubner Stuttgart–John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Math. Meth. Appl.
