Coordination of aza heterocycles with macroheterocyclic metal complexes in amphiprotic media: III. Kinetics and mechanism of inner-sphere ligand exchange in (tetraphenylporphyrinato)chromium(III)

Inner-sphere replacement of alcohols by imidazole and its derivatives in the complex (acetato)-(tetraphenylporphyrinato)chromium(III) was studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy. The rate constants and activation parameters of the process were calculated. The entering ligand structure was shown to affect the reaction rate, while the alcohol nature (departing ligand) does not influence the kinetic parameters of the process to an appreciable extent. Regression analysis revealed participation of imidazole and ethanol in the rate-determining stages. The kinetic equation for the inner-sphere axial substitution implies interaction of a free alcohol molecule with that coordinated to chromium, followed by replacement of the associate by the heteroring. Mathematical processing of the kinetic data in terms of the proposed solvolytic association-dissociation mechanism gave the rate constants for particular stages of the process and showed an extremal relation between the rate constant and composition of the solvent.     

Researches on synthetic dyes

Reaction of phenyl-ß-naphthylamines with formaldehyde and acetone in the presence of HCl and nitrobenzene in butanol solution leads to cyclization involving the naphthalene and phenyl rings, and formation of N-aryllepidine salts. 15 lepidine and 5, 6-benzoepidine salts are synthesized and characterized by their UV absorption spectra, as well as by their picrates.For Part LIII see [3].     

Structure,tautomerism, and transformations of β-(3-nitro-2-pyridyl)- and β-(3-nitro-4-pyridyl)pyruvic acid esters

It was shown by means of IR, UV, and PMR spectra that -(3-nitro-2-pyridyl)pyruvic acid esters are practically completely enolized in the crystal state and in solution; ethyl -(3-nitro-4-pyridyl)pyruvate has an enol structure in the crystalline state and in pyridine solution but exists as a mixture of keto and enol forms in low-polarity solvents.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 389–393, March, 1974.     

Reactions of Carboxymethyl Polysaccharides and Their Ethyl Esters with Amines

The reaction of carboxymethyl polysaccharides and their ethyl esters with amines was studied with the aim to determine how the structure of the polymeric acylating agent affects the composition of the reaction products.     

Pyrazolines — Derivatives of 2-nitrochalcone

By the reaction of 2-nitrochalcone with hydrazine hydrate, 5-(2-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-1H-2-pyrazoline (I) and the hydrazone of 3-(5-(2-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-1-yl)-3-(2-nitrophenyl)propiophenol (II) have been prepared. The acylation of both compounds I and II leads to N-acyl derivatives of the first. The acylating ability of formamide and N,N-dimethylformamide was observed in reactions with pyrazoline I. An x-ray structural study was carried out on compound II.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 360–366, March, 1993.     

Mass spectrometric study of mixed fluorinated rare earth element β-diketonates with triphenylphosphine oxide

A series of new adducts of fluorinated REE -diketonates with triphenylphosphine oxide was synthesized. The paths of their fragmentation under electron impact were investigated. It was shown that in contrast to the complex with 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-7,7-dimethyloctane-4,6-dione, the complexes of europium with 1-trifluoromethoxy-1,1-difluoro-5,5-dimethylhexane-2,4-dione and 1, 1,1-trifluoro-5,5-dimethylhexane-2,4-dione form dimeric associates in the gaseous phase. The reasons for this difference in the behavior of the complexes and the possible structure of one of the dimers are discussed.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Eksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 26, No. 2, March–April, 1990.
