Synthese und Eigenschaften von Dimolybdän-μ-nitrido-heptachlorid Mo2NCl7

Synthesis and Properties of Di-molybdenum-μ-nitrido-heptachloride, Mo₂NCl₇ Mo₂NCl₇ was prepared by the reaction of molybdenum pentachloride with the bromide of Millon's base, [Hg₂N]Br, in boiling CCl₄. It forms a moisture sensitive, dark green crystal powder, the magnetic moment at 20°C (μ_eff = 0.95 B.M.) being strongly reduced. With acetonitrile the μ-nitrido complex Mo₂NCl₇ · 3CH₃CN is formed, with phosphoryl chloride the donor acceptor complex Mo₂NCl₇ · 2POCl₃, respectively. Partial oxidation of the latter complex with chlorine leads to very unstable Mo₂NCl₈ · 2POCl₃, from which (PPh₄)₃[Mo₃NCl₁₀] can be obtained by the reaction with PPh₄Cl. For the complex (PPh₄)₃[Mo₂NCl₁₀] is also found a reduced paramagnetism of μ_eff = 1.47 B.M. at 20°C. All complexes are characterized by i.r. spectroscopy.     

Is laser-ablation-ICP-MS an alternative to solution analysis of solid samples?

The basic obstacles for the general use of laser-ablation(LA)-ICP-MS in analytical laboratories are connected with its reproducibility and calibration. A mathematical relation deduced from the correlation function of the analytical signals allows the estimation of the number of craters needed for representative analyses. The procedure was applied to different samples such as manganese crusts and soils. The ion intensities of the major elements in the manganese crusts and nodules were used as internal standards, improving relative standard deviations by factors between 2 and 3. Selected samples of wood and manganese crusts were analyzed by LA-ICP-MS and the results compared with those obtained by solution ICP-MS. The agreement of the values is within the 95% confidence limits. Powdered reference materials and, in the case of wood analysis, cellulose doped with standard solutions were used for the calibration.     

Arbeiten über Phosphorsäure und Thiophosphorsäureester mit einem heterocyclischen Substituenten 9. Mitteilung 1. Aza-Analogie I: Aza-Analoge von Phthalimid-, Benztriazol- und 1,2,3-Benztriazin-4(3H)-on-Derivaten

Aza-analogues of the known pesticidal dithiophosphates 2, 4 and 5 have been prepared by replacing the phthalimide, benzotriazole and 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one moieties resp. in 2 by those of quinolinic acid imide (6), cinchomeronic acid imide (7) and pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imide (12), in 4 by 1H-v-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridine (15) and in 5 by pyrido[2,3-e]1,2,3-triazin-4(3H)-one (21). Compared to the known compounds the new esters are less or at best equally pesticidal with an equal or even higher mammalian toxicity.     

Exploiting the regioselectivity of pyroglutamate alkylations for the synthesis of 6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes and 4-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes

Depending on the N-protecting group of pyroglutamates, the reactivity can be directed to the formation of 6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes or 4-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes, which are conformationally restricted glutamate analogues.     

α,ω-Diisocyanatocarbodiimides, -Polycarbodiimides,and Their Derivatives

Research in the field of low-molecular weight, oligomeric and polymeric α,ω-diisocyanatocarbodiimides and -polycarbodiimides has been fruitful, not only in connection with these compounds themselves, but also—as so often happens in chemistry—with quite different problems. Novel synthetic methods, discoveries concerning the properties of low-molecular weight carbodiimides and phosphane imide derivatives, as well as results on the fragmentation reactions of four-membered heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen, phosphorus, and nitrogen, and a better understanding of the diisocyanate polyaddition process are among the many by-products of this research. The “high- and low-temperature formation” of polycarbodiimides and the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis of this process are described, and the fundamental importance of four-membered ring fragmentation mechanisms resulting in the formation of phosphane imide derivatives is outlined. Interesting building blocks for the diisocyanate polyaddition and polycondensation processes can be synthesized by many derivatization reactions of oligomeric and high-molecular weight polycarbodiimides and polyuretonimines. The in situ production of polycarbodiimides via matrix reactions in flexible polyurethane foams leads to a cellular arrangement of the material due to the pronounced symmetrical growth processes. Combination-foams with increased carbonation tendencies are formed in this way. Attention is drawn to several industrial applications of α,ω-diisocyanatopolycarbodiimides, of high-molecular weight cross-linked polyuretonimines, and of polycarbodiimide foams.

High regio-, chemo-, and stereoselectivity via low-temperature 4 + 3 cycloadditions. Convergent synthesis of multifunctionalized vinylmetals (M = Si, Sn) and S-vinyl benzenecarbothioates

A series of enantiomerically pure 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-ones functionalized in the unsaturated two-carbon bridge has been prepared by the title reaction. Carbocation reactivity has been fined-tuned at -95 degrees C and adjusted to diene nucleophilicity. Conventional electrophilic substitution of 3-silylated and 3-stannylated furan is suppressed in favor of the rapid 4 + 3 cycloaddition mode. In the case of cycloadduct 13A, stereoselectivity (17:1) is perfectly matched to regioselectivity (17:1). High stereoselection as well as unprecedented regioselection and chemoselection is attributed to the low-temperature cycloaddition protocol and the design of chiral auxiliary and tether.
