Syntheses of Some New Group 4 non-Cp Complexes Bearing Schiff-base, Thiophene Diamide Ligands Respectively and Their Catalytic Activities for α-Olefin Polymerization

Introduction Tremendous advances have been witnessed during the last decade in the syntheses and application of Group 4 metal complexes because of the motivity which comes from both academic and industrial field. Among them, studies have been dominated by the complexes supported by bis or mono cyclopentadienyl ligands, such as Cp2MX2 or half sandwich amide (CGC) com-plexes.1-6 At that time chemists paid a little attention to the non-cyclopentadienyl complexes, but in recent years, many chem…     

Deprotonation of chloropyridines using lithium magnesates

4-Chloropyridine was deprotonated on treatment with 1/3 equiv of the highly coordinated magnesate Bu₃(TMP)MgLi₂ in THF at −10 °C, as evidenced by trapping with I₂. The use of Bu(TMP)₂MgLi in Et₂O allowed the reaction of 2-chloropyridine, giving the 3-functionalized derivative as the main product. Mixtures of 3- and 4-functionalized derivatives were obtained when 2,6-dichloropyridine was involved in the reaction. Performing the reaction on 3-chloropyridine with lithium magnesates in THF, either the 4,4′-dimer or the 4-iodo derivative was formed after quenching by I₂, the former using 1/3 equiv of Bu₂(TMP)MgLi and the latter using 1 equiv of (TMP)₃MgLi. Similar results were observed with 3,5-dichloropyridine, 2,5-dichloropyridine and 3-chloro-2-fluoropyridine. 1,2-Migration of the lithium arylmagnesate formed by deprotonation was proposed to justify the dimers formation.

Copolymerization of N-allenylimidazole with di(ethylene glycol) divinyl ether and complexation of the copolymers with CuCl2

Polyfunctionalized linear copolymers of N-allenylimidazole and di(ethylene glycol) divinyl ether with polyconjugated (polyvinylene) blocks in the main chain and exomethylene bonds and vinyloxyethoxyethyl groups in the side chain were prepared. Using the reaction of the copolymers with CuCl₂, a possibility of synthesis of polymeric metal complexes for catalysis of organic reactions was shown. The IR and ESR spectra of the complexes were studied. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 973–977, June, 2006.

Simultaneous purification and reversible immobilization of d-amino acid oxidase from Trigonopsis variabilis on a hydrophobic support

Purification and reversible immobilization of d-amino acid oxidase from Trigonopsis variabilis could be simultaneously accomplished by hydrophobic interaction on Phenyl Sepharose CL-4B in the presence of 50 mM pyrophosphate buffer (pH 8.5). The presence of a high salt concentration of 2M, which is generally required for the hydrophobic interactions, was not essential for the hydrophobic immobilization. The enzyme in free as well as immobilized form was optimally active between pH 7.0 and 9.0. The immobilized preparation could be reused in a batch process for the conversion of d-amino acids to α-keto acids. When the activity of the preparation dropped below practical limits, the gel could be regenerated by water wash and recharged with fresh crude extract from yeast.     

Reaction of platinum complexes with (+)-α-pinene and (+)-limonene. Synthesis, molecular structure, and catalytic activity of dichloro(η4-[p-mentha-1,8{9}-diene])platinum(II)

The transformations of platinum(II) and platinum(IV) complexes with inner-and outer-sphere ligands by the action of (+)-α-pinene and (+)-limonene were studied. Reduction of the metal complex is the main process whose rate increases in the following outer-sphere ligand series: (Me₂SO)₂H⁺ < Et₃NH⁺ < K^? < H⁺. The reaction of K₂PtCl₄ with α-pinene gave cis-terpine monohydrate and dichloro-η⁴-[p-mentha-1,8(9)-diene]platinum(II), and their structure was proved by X-ray analysis. The complex belongs to monoclinic crystal system, the Pt-Cl and Pt-C bonds therein have different lengths, the ClPtCl angle is 85.88°, and the C=C bond plane is orthogonal to the square coordination core. Dichloro-η⁴-[p-mentha-1,8(9)-diene]-platinum(II) was tested as catalyst in the hydrosilylation of acetophenone with diphenylsilane.     

Synthesis, Structure, and Antimicrobial Activity of Complexes of Pt(II), Pd(II), and Ni(II) with the Condensation Product of 2-(Diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde and Semioxamazide

Complexes of Pt(II), Pd(II), and Ni(II) with the condensation derivative of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde and semioxamazide were synthesized, characterized, and their antimicrobial activity was evaluated. The ligand and the complexes were characterized by spectroscopic methods with the particular accent on NMR spectral analysis. For the palladium(II) complex, the crystal structure was determined by X-ray analysis. In all the complexes the ligand is coordinated as a tridentate via a P, N, O donor set. The Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes have a square planar geometry, whereas the geometry of the Ni(II) complex is tetrahedral. The ligand showed antibacterial and antifungal activity, which was enhanced upon complexation.     

Self－assembly of Novel Hetero[3]rotaxane, [2]Rotaxanes and [2]Catenane

One linear template 13 and one cyclophane template 15, both incorporating two electron rich 1,4‐dialkoxybenzene units and one diamide unit, have been synthesized. By utilizing donor‐acceptor interaction and/or intermolecular hydrogen bonding assembling principles, one novel hetero[3]rotazane 22·4Cl, possessing one neutral and one tetracationic ring components, has been synthesized from 13, through neutral [2]rotaxane 21 as intermediate. With 15 as template, tetracationic [2]catenane 23·4PF₆ was assembled by using donor‐acceptor interaction, but no neutral [2]rotaxane could be obtained under the typical conditions of hydrogen bonding assembling principle. The interlocked supramolecular compounds have been characterized and their spectral properties are investigated.
