The mutual influence of ligands in transition metal bis-chelates

Electronic structure quantum chemical calculations of the Fe(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) bis-chelate series are reported. The nature of the ligand mutual influence effect on these compounds is elucidated. This effect manifests itself in polarization of metal—ligand bonds. The ligands which have highly covalent bonds with the metal form bonds of even greater covalent character in mixed complexes, whereas bonds for the other ligands become more ionic.     

Pyrrolo[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives

A new method for obtaining pyrrolobenzothiazole derivatives, which can be used for the specific synthesis of polymethine dyes with predesignated properties, was developed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 549–553, April, 1991.     

Molecular structure of N-mesityl-6H-anthra[9,1-bc]pyrrol-6-one

The molecular and crystalline structure of 1-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-6H-anthra-[9,1-bc]pyrrol-6-one was determined by the x-ray structural method. There is a larger uniformity of the bonds in the benzene ring of the isoindole fragment than in the N-substituted isoindoles; this derives from the electronic influence of the keto group. The structure of the whole molecule does not have marked 1,10-anthraquinoid character.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 485–490, April, 1988.     

Condensation of aryl bromides with styrenes,catalyzed by nickel complexes in the presence of zinc

Conclusions Condensation of aryl bromides with styrenes in acetonitrile in the presence of nickel organometallic complex catalysts and metallic zinc occurs regio- and stereoselectively to give E-stilbenes.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2508–2511, November, 1987.     

Reaction of 5-chloroanthra[1,9-cd]-6-isoxazolone with oxygen-containing nucleophiles

Facile nucleophilic substitution of the chloride ion to give 5-alkoxy- or 5-aryloxy-anthra[1,9-cd]-6-isoxazolones occurs in the reaction of 5-chloroanthra[1,9-cd]-6-isoxazolone with alcohols and phenols. The possibility of conversion of the synthesized isoxazolones to 1-amino-4-alkoxyanthraquinones is demonstrated.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1329–1331, October, 1983.
