Reaction of the unsymmetrical phenol ligand 2-((bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino)methyl)-6-(((2-pyridylmethyl)benzylamino)methyl)-4-methylphenol (HL-Bn) or its 2,6-dichlorobenzyl analogue (HL-BnCl(2)) with Fe(H(2)O)(6)(ClO(4))(2) in the presence of disodium m-phenylenedipropionate (Na(2)(mpdp)) followed by exposure to atmosphere affords the diiron(II,III) complexes [Fe(2)(L-Bn)(mpdp)(H(2)O)](ClO(4))(2) and [Fe(2)(L-BnCl(2))(mpdp)(CH(3)OH)](ClO(4))(2), respectively. The latter complex has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with a = 13.3095(14) A, b = 20.1073(19) A, c = 19.4997(19) A, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 94.471(2) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, V = 5202.6(9) A(3), and Z = 4. The structure of the compound is very similar to that of [Fe(2)(L-Bn)(mpdp)(H(2)O)](BPh(4))(2) determined earlier, except for the replacement of a water by a methanol on the ferrous site. Magnetic measurements of [Fe(2)(L-Bn)(mpdp)(H(2)O)](BPh(4))(2) reveal that the two high-spin Fe ions are moderately antiferromagnetically coupled (J = -3.2(2) cm(-)(1)). Upon dissolution in acetonitrile the terminal ligand on the ferrous site is replaced by a solvent molecule. The acetonitrile-water exchange has been investigated by various spectroscopic techniques (UV-visible, NMR, M?ssbauer) and electrochemistry. The substitution of acetonitrile by water is clearly evidenced by M?ssbauer spectroscopy by a reduction of the quadrupole splitting value from 3.14 to 2.41 mm/s. In addition, it causes a 210 mV downshift of the oxidation potential of the ferrous site and a similar reduction of the stability domain of the mixed-valence state. Exhaustive electrolysis of a solution of [Fe(2)(L-Bn)(mpdp)(H(2)O)](2+) shows that the aqua diferric species is not stable and undergoes a chemical reaction which can be partly reversed by reduction to the mixed-valent state. This and other electrochemical observations suggest that upon oxidation of the diiron center to the diferric state the aqua ligand is deprotonated to a hydroxo. This hypothesis is supported by M?ssbauer spectroscopy. Indeed, this species possesses a large quadrupole splitting value (DeltaE(Q) >or= 1.0 mm.s(-)(1)) similar to that of analogous complexes with a terminal phenolate ligand. This study illustrates the drastic effects of aqua ligand exchange and deprotonation on the electronic structure and redox potentials of diiron centers. 相似文献
C6H6 Raman scattering activities calculated from harmonic model ab initio Hartree–Fock 6–311 ++ G(d, p) polarizability derivatives (and harmonic force fields calculated at the same level) accurately simulate experiment (to within 1% for the a1g modes). Accurate predictions are also made for the e2g modes (to within 5% for ν7 and ν9, and more poorly for ν6 and ν8 [in Fermi resonance with ν6 + ν1]) and for the e1g out-of-plane mode, ν10. Only the ν6 in-plane CCC bending mode scattering activity is found to be anomalous. Systematic variation of the basis set indicates that the benzene scattering activities and depolarization ratios are strongly dependent on inclusion of both carbon and hydrogen atom diffuse functions in the basis set. Predictions are also made for 12C6D6 and for unmeasured intensities in 13C6H6. Measurements of a1g mode scattering activities in the latter molecule are predicted to be useful in testing the harmonic Hartree–Fock Raman intensity model. 相似文献
Treatment of the uranium(IV) complexes [{ML1(py)}2UIV] (M = Cu, Zn; L1 = N,N′-bis(3-hydroxysalicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine) with silver nitrate in pyridine led to the formation of the corresponding cationic uranium(V) species which were found to be thermally unstable and were converted back into the parent UIV complexes; no electron transfer was observed in solution between the UIV and UV compounds. In the crystals of [{ML1(py)}2UIV][{ML1(py)}2UV][NO3], the neutral UIV and cationic UV species are clearly identified by the distinct U–O distances. Similar reaction of [{ZnL2(py)}2UIV] [L2 = N,N′-bis(3-hydroxysalicylidene)-1,4-butanediamine] with AgNO3 gave crystals of [{ZnL2(py)}UV{ZnL2(py)2}][NO3] but the copper counterpart was not isolated. Crystals of [{ZnL1(py)}2UV][OTf] · THF (OTf = OSO2CF3) were obtained fortuitously from the reaction of [Zn(H2L1)] and U(OTf)3. 相似文献
In this study, the ligand exchange mechanism at a biomimetic ZnII centre, embedded in a pocket mimicking the possible constrains induced by a proteic structure, is explored. The residence time of different guest ligands (dimethylformamide, acetonitrile and ethanol) inside the cavity of a calix[6]arene-based tris(imidazole) tetrahedral zinc complex was probed using 1D EXchange SpectroscopY NMR experiments. A strong dependence of residence time on water content was observed with no exchange occurring under anhydrous conditions, even in the presence of a large excess of guest ligand. These results advocate for an associative exchange mechanism involving the transient exo-coordination of a water molecule, giving rise to 5-coordinate ZnII intermediates, and inversion of the pyramid at the ZnII centre. Theoretical modelling by DFT confirmed that the associative mechanism is at stake. These results are particularly relevant in the context of the understanding of kinetic stability/lability in Zn proteins and highlight the key role that a single water molecule can play in catalysing ligand exchange and controlling the lability of ZnII in proteins. 相似文献
The electrophoretic mobility change of desferrioxamine B (DFO) was monitored by UV absorption spectrophotometry upon increasing the thorium(IV) concentration in the background electrolyte at two acidities ([HClO4]Tot = 0.0316 and 0.0100 M). These data enabled to assess the speciation model and to determine the equilibrium constant of [Th(DFO)H2]3+ at fixed ionic strength (I = 0.1 M (H,Na)ClO4). Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) turned out to be most helpful in identifying the complexed species by ascertaining its charge and protonation state. The assignment of the correct stoichiometry relied on the reliable estimation of the electrophoretic mobility by assuming similar hydrodynamic radii for (DFO)H4+ and the chelate. The value of the apparent equilibrium constant (log β112 = 38.7 ± 0.4) obtained by ACE compares favorably well with those reported in the literature for thorium and a range of other metal ions, according to a linear free-energy relationship. This method is useful for studying metal-ligand binding equilibria and provides valuable information for further modelling the behavior of tetravalent actinides under environmental conditions. Structural information about the prevalent solution species in acidic conditions was gained by DFT calculations, confirming the bishydroxamato coordination mode of Th4+ by the diprotonated ligand. 相似文献
A system of three non-interacting qubits is used as a quantum probe to classify three classical non-Gaussian noises namely, the static noise (SN), colored noise (pink and brown spectrum) and random telegraph noise (RTN), according to their detrimental effects on the evolution of entanglement of the latter. The probe system is initially prepared in the GHZ state and coupled to the noises in independent environments. Seven configurations for the qubit-noise coupling (QNC) are considered. To estimate the destructive influence of each kind of noise, the tripartite negativity is employed to compare the evolution of entanglement in these QNC configurations to each other with the same noise parameters. It is shown that the evolution of entanglement is drastically impacted by the QNC configuration considered as well as the properties of the environmental noises and that the SN is more detrimental to the survival of entanglement than the RTN and colored noise, regardless of the Markov or non-Markov character of the RTN and the spectrum of the colored noise. On the other hand, it is shown that pink noise is more fatal to the system than the RTN and that the situation is totally reversed in the case of brown noise. Finally, it is demonstrated that these noises, in descending order of destructive influence, can be classified as follows: SN > pink noise > RTN > brown noise.
This paper describes a rigorous a posteriori error analysis for the stochastic solution of non-linear uncertain chemical models. The dual-based a posteriori stochastic error analysis extends the methodology developed in the deterministic finite elements context to stochastic discretization frameworks. It requires the resolution of two additional (dual) problems to yield the local error estimate. The stochastic error estimate can then be used to adapt the stochastic discretization. Different anisotropic refinement strategies are proposed, leading to a cost-efficient tool suitable for multi-dimensional problems of moderate stochastic dimension. The adaptive strategies allow both for refinement and coarsening of the stochastic discretization, as needed to satisfy a prescribed error tolerance. The adaptive strategies were successfully tested on a model for the hydrogen oxidation in supercritical conditions having 8 random parameters. The proposed methodologies are however general enough to be also applicable for a wide class of models such as uncertain fluid flows. 相似文献
