Chemical Transformations of (2,3,9,10-Tetramethyl-1,4,5,7,8,11,12,14-Octa-Azacyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-Tetraenato)Cobalt(II)Perchlorate

The monomeric octa-aza bis-α-diimine macrocyclic complex [Co^II(C₁₀H₂₀N₈)(H²O)](ClO₄)₂ I, undergoes various reactions on the macrocyclic ligand. Reaction of complex I with triethylamine in double molar proportions, followed by slow aerial oxidation, produces a molecular dimeric complex [Co^II(C₁₀H₁₄N₈)]₂, III, and a novel Co(I) complex [Co^I(C₁₀H₁₉N₈)], IV. Complex III is a staggered cofacial dimer with a cobalt-cobalt bond length 2.86(1) Å. The macrocyclic ligand of the complex contains an a-diimine function in each five-membered chelate ring, and a three-atom N-C-N^? delocalized system in each six-membered chelate ring. Complex IV has the 5-5-6-6 chelate arrangement because one α-diimine moiety is rearranged to a syn-anti configuration. In the structure, the two fused six-membered chelate rings are fully conjugated and the two fused five-membered rings are saturated. However, when complex I reacts with excess triethylamine under the similar conditions, a dimeric complex of another type, [Co^II(C₁₀H_l6N₈)]₂, II, was generated, in which one N-N bond of the macrocyclic ligand is broken. Complex IV can be isolated also from the reaction of complex I with excess hydrazine, followed by slow aerial oxidation. When hydrazine in double molar proportions was used, complex [Co^I(C₁₀H₁₇N₈)(NHNH)] V, which contains a coordinated diazene ligand, was obtained. Only one six-membered chelate ring of complex V is deprotonated and oxidized to form a three-atom N-C-N^? delocalized system. The structures of octa-aza complexes I-V are determined by X-ray crystallography: I, orthorhombic, C mca, a = 11.646(4), b = 17.049(3), c = 10.706(3) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.045, R_w = 0.047, based on 1024 reflections with I > 2σ(I); II, monoclinic, P 2₁/c, a = 9.814(3), b = 22.583(6). c = 14.632(9) Å, β = 98.90(5)°, Z = 4, R = 0.085, R_w = 0.101, based on 2033 reflections with I > 2σ(I); III, tetragonal, P 4/nmm, a = 15.614(3), c = 6.498(2) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.081, R_w = 0.115, based on 340 reflections with I > 2σ(I); IV, orthorhombic, P bca, a = 8.484(1), b = 16.662(3), c = 18.760(2) Å, Z = 8, R = 0.029, R_w = 0.024, based on 1441 reflections with I > 2σ(I); V, monoclinic, P 2₁/m, a = 7.892(3), b = 11.713(6), c = 9.326(4) Å, β = 108.03(3), Z = 2, R = 0.047, R_w = 0.056, based on 948 reflections with I > 2σ(I).     

Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Activity of Diorganotin（IV） Complexes of N-（3,5-Dibromosalicylidene）-α-amino Acid

The diorganotin（Ⅳ） complexes of N-（3,5-dibromosalicylidene）-α-amino acid, R2Sn（2-O-3,5-Br2C6H2CH= NCHRCOO）（where R=H, Me, i-Pr, Bz; R＇=n-Bu, Cy）, were synthesized by the reactions of diorganotin dichlorides with in situ formed potassium salt of N-（3,5-dibromosalicylidene）-α-amino acid and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR （^1H, ^13C and ^119Sn） spectra. The crystal structures of n-Bu2Sn（2-O-3,5-Br2C6H2CH= NCHRCOO）（R=i-Pr, Bz） and Cy2Sn（2-O-3,5-Br2C6H2CH=NCHRCOO）（R=Me, Bz） were determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction and showed that the tin atoms are in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry to form five- and six-membered chelate rings with the tridentate ligand. Bioassay results indicated that the compounds possess better in vitro antitumour activity against three human tumour cell lines, HeLa, CoLo205 and MCF-7, than cis-platin and moderate anti-bacterial activity against two bacteria, E. coli and S. aureus.

Measurements of the solubilities of derivatized amino acids in supercritical carbon dioxide

The solubilities of phenylalanine and tyrosine in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO₂) were measured after derivatization as the N-acetyl amino acid ethyl ester, N-carbobenzoxy amino acid and N-acetyl amino acid. Using an SCCO₂ flow system, a measuring method of the saturated solubilities of the derivatized amino acids was established in which the contact height of the extraction cell, i.e. a packed column, is increased till the concentration of a derivatized amino acid at the exit of the cell reaches a plateau. The solubilities of N-acetyl phenylalanine ethyl ester (APEE) exceeded 0.001 mole fraction, which is higher than those of caffeine produced in industrial SCCO₂ processes. A possible way of separating the amino acid mixtures using polarity differences in different amino acid side chains was demonstrated using the solubility data of the N-acetyl-amino acid ethyl esters in SCCO₂, as the solubilities of APEE are higher than those of N-acetyl tyrosine ethyl ester by two orders of magnitude.     

A Novel Coordination Polymer, [Ag4^1 （bpdc）（H2bpdc）（Hbpdc）2]n （bpdc = 2,2＇-bipyridyl-3,3＇-dicarboxylate）： Coordination Models of bpdc Ligands

A novel coordination polymer, [Ag₄ppdc)(H₂bpdc)(Hbpdc)₂] (bpdc = 2,2′‐bipyridyl‐3,3′‐dicarboxylate), was hydrothermally synthesized at 403 K and structurally characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystalizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a=1.9516(4) nm, b=1.9503(4) nm. c=1.2566(3) nm, and β=112.48(3)°. In the two‐dimensional crystal structure, Ag^I center is coordinated, in a scarce coordination environment, double‐capped tetrahedron, by one bpdc ligand to form N‐Ag‐N chelate bond via two pyridyl N atoms, and other two bpdc ligands to form two O‐Ag‐O chelate bonds, respectively, via two carboxyl O atoms. The bpdc ligands are present in one non‐protonated form, bpdc, and two protonated forms, Hbpdc and H2bpdc, which all act as μ3‐ligand in a hexadentate fashion (N, N′; O, O′; O, O′) to coordinate with three Ag centers, respectively, through the three chelate bonds. This coordinated fashion of bpdc ligand is first found in the title compound. W‐Us‐NIR reflectance spectroscopy study revealed insulator nature for the crystal with an optical energy gap of 3.1 eV.     

Separation and determination of active components in Radix Salviae miltiorrhizae and its medicinal preparations by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis

A nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) method was developed for simultaneous assay of three bioactive components (1: cryptotanshinone; 2: tanshinone IIA, and 3: tanshinone I) in Radix Salviae miltiorrhizae and in its herbal preparations for the first time. After optimization of separation conditions, a buffer of 250 mmol L(-1) ammonium acetate containing 30% acetonitrile and 1.0% acetic acid (V:V) in methanol was selected for separating the three analytes, but baseline separation of tanshinon I and tanshinone IIA was not obtained. Therefore second-order derivative electropherograms were applied for resolving overlapping peaks. Regression equations revealed good linear relationships (correlation coefficients 0.9943-0.9991) between peak heights in second-order derivative electropherograms and concentrations of the three analytes. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of the migration times and the peak height of the three constituents were in the range of 0.81 -0.88% and 0.34-1.13% (intra-day), 1.57-1.86% and 3.05-5.52% (inter-day), respectively. The recoveries of three constituents ranged from 90.2 to 108.5%. The results indicated that baseline separation of the analytes was sometimes hard to obtain and second-order derivative electropherograms were applicable for the resolving and analysis of overlapping peaks.

毛细管电色谱柱内径对电渗流与电压关系的影响

考察不同内径的毛细管电色谱柱中分离电压对电渗流的影响，在不同内径的毛细管电色谱柱中，电渗流与电压都呈较好的线性关系，与毛细管电色谱柱的内径无关，由于焦耳热的影响，在电压变化幅度较大的情况下，电渗流与电压的关系曲线呈线性弯曲，在大内径毛细管电色谱柱上更加明显。
