Intramolecular easily polarizable hydrogen bonds with anilides of 1-piperidine carboxylic acids

IR spectra are plotted from anilides of 1-piperidine carboxylic acids C₅H₁₀N(CH₂)_n CONHC₆H₄R in CHCl₃ and CDCl₃ solutions. In the cases of n = 1 and n = 4, weak intramolecular (NH?N) hydrogen bonds are formed. An asymmetrical energy surface occurs and the proton is present at the N of the anilide group. In the cases of n = 2 and n = 3, intramolecular proton transfer hydrogen bonds of the types N_BH?N_P ? ^?N_B?H⁺N_p are formed. In contrast to the intramolecular OH? N ? O^?1 ? H⁺N bonds with 1-piperidine carboxylic acids, these bonds to not cause IR continua but two bands: one in the region 3250–3190 and one in the region 2500–2450 cm^?1. The fact that, instead of IR continua, bands are observed is explained by the following: (1) these hydrogen bonds are relatively long; (2) they show only a narrow distribution of bond length; (3) the electrical fields at these bonds are small, since they are strongly screened.     

Evaluation of two‐center,three‐ and four‐electron integrals over Slater‐type orbitals in elliptical coordinates

An algorithm for evaluation of two‐center, three‐electron integrals with the correlation factors of the type rr and rrr as well as four‐electron integrals with the correlation factors rrr and rrr in the Slater basis is presented. This problem has been solved here in elliptical coordinates, using the generalized and modified form of the Neumann expansion of the interelectronic distance function r for k ≥ ?1. Some numerical results are also included. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2004     

Utilization of cleavage of the [1]benzofuro[2,3‐e][1,2,4]triazine ring for the synthesis of oxygen,nitrogen and sulfur derivatives of [1,2,4]triazine

A series of 6‐azacytosines 4a‐4k and 5a‐5c were prepared by nucleophilic cleavage of furan ring of [1]benzofuro[2,3‐e][1,2,4]triazine derivative 1 . Some of them were used for the preparation of derivatives of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐d][1,2,4]triazine ( 6a‐6d ) and tetrazolo[1,5‐d][1,2,4]triazine (7). The reaction of 1 with hydrogen sulfide afforded the corresponding 6‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐5‐thioxo‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐tri‐azin‐3(2H)‐one ( 8 ), while with hydrogen selenide 6‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazin‐3(2H)‐one ( 9 ) was formed. The prepared compounds were tested for biological activity.     

Effect of substituents at silicon on the oxidative addition of trisubstituted silanes to [RhCl(cod)PPh3]

Summary Trisubstituted silanes, HSiR_3–n X _n (R = Me, Et, Pr or Bu; X = Cl, OEt or Ph; and n = 0–3) readily undergo oxidative addition to complex [RhCl(cod)PPh₃] (where cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene).The quantitative correlation between rate constants, k ₁, of the reaction, followed spectrophotometrically at 20 °C in benzene solutions, and the structure of tri-substituted silanes represented by stereoelectronic parameters , and E of the substituents, was established: logk ₁ = a + b + c + dE. The reaction rate is accelerated by electron-withdrawing substituents at silicon and retarded by the bulk and pd donation of nonalkyl substituents.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.     

Voltammetric and chronoamperometric investigation of germanium amalgams: Part I. Properties of the homogenous amalgam

Using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry with several anodic steps the deposition and particularly the oxidation of germanium from a HMDE was investigated within pH range 4–12 at Ge (IV) concentrations ranging from 4×10^?7M to 1×10^?4M in the absence of ligands capable to form the complex compounds with Ge(IV) in a solution. It was found that the initially formed product of electrodeposition is a homogeneous, usually supersaturated amalgam. Germanium from this amalgam oxidizes at about 1 V (vs. mercury sulphate reference electrode) or after some induction period, the length of which depends on concentration of Ge(0) in mercury, it begins to crystallize forming heterogenous germanium amalgam. Germanium from this heterogenous amalgam oxidizes in a separate voltammetric peak at more positive potentials. The solubility of germanium in mercury was evaluated on the basis of the oxidation current of homogenous amalgam and the value obtained is equal to (2±0.5)×10^?7M i.e. (1.1±0.3)×10^?7 wt. %. Applying the Stevens and Shain method the diffusion coefficient of germanium in mercury was found to be (1.32±0.1)×10^?5 cm² s^?1.

Tautomerism of xanthine: The second-order MØller-Plesset study

Four 9H and four 7H tautomers of DNA base xanthine were studied by the ab initio LCAO-MO method at the MP2/6-311G^**//HF/6-31G^** and MP2/6-31G^**//HF/6-31G^** approximations. All calculated structures are minima at the HF/6-31G^** potential energy surface with the dioxo 7H tautomer (A1) being the global minimum. The second most stable tautomer, dioxo-9H (B1) is by 9 kcal/mol less stable. For the A1 B1 transition the calculated MP2 energy gap corresponds to the equilibrium constant of 2 × 10^–7. Therefore, only the major tautomeric form A1 is predicted to be detectable in the gas phase. The 7H and 9H groups of tautomers are discussed separately. Within both groups, the dioxo form (A1-7H, B1-9H) is the most stable one and is succeeded by the 2-dihydroxy (A2, B2) form. However, while the energy difference between A1 and A2 is 10 kcal/mol, the energy difference between B1 a B2 is only 2 kcal/mol. The effect of polar environment was estimated by the SCRF method, using a spherical cavity, at the HF/6-31G^** level. These calculations did not change the gas phase stability order of the tautomers. However, the energy difference between A1 and B1 decreased from 9 kcal/mol at the HF/6-31G^** level to 4 kcal/mol at the SCRF HF/6-31G^** level.     

Modification of nonionic adsorbent with eriochrome blue-black R for selective nickel(II) preconcentration in conventional and flow-injection atomic-absorption spectrometry

Chemical modification of nonionic sorbent Amberlite XAD-2 or anion exchanger Amberlyst A-26 with Eriochrome Blue-Black R (EBBR) produces a chelating resin of satisfactory chemical stability and resistance towards mineral acids. Retention of 10 metal ions has been examined for both resins. EBBR loaded XAD-2 was utilized for nickel(II) preconcentration in atomic-absorption spectrometry. In optimal conditions at a preconcentration time not exceeding 1 hr, nickel(II) can be determined at the 0.1 mug/l. level in flow measurements. Retention of metal ions on chelating resin is a convenient method of preconcentration and elimination of matrix interferences.     

Novel rhenium(III) complexes with 5,6-diphenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-trazine: X-ray structures and DFT calculations for [ReCl3(OPPh3)(dppt)] and [ReCl3(PPh3)(dppt)] complexes

The reaction of [ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] with 5,6-diphenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-trazine (dppt) has been examined and [ReCl₃(OPPh₃)(dppt)] has been obtained. The triphenylphosphine oxide can be easily replaced by PPh₃ in the reaction of [ReCl₃(OPPh₃)(dppt)] with an excess of triphenylphosphine. The [ReCl₃(OPPh₃)(dppt)] and [ReCl₃(PPh₃)(dppt)] complexes have been structurally and spectroscopically characterized. Their molecular orbital diagrams have been calculated with the density functional theory (DFT) method, and their electronic spectra have been discussed on the basis of time-dependent DFT calculations. The compound [ReCl₃(OPPh₃)(dppt)] has been studied additionally by magnetic measurement. The magnetic behavior is characteristic of mononuclear complexes with d⁴ low-spin octahedral Re(III) complexes (³T_1g ground state) and arise because of the large spin–orbit coupling (ζ = 2500 cm⁻¹), which gives diamagnetic ground state.
