Univalent transition metal complexes of arenes stabilized by a bulky terphenyl ligand: differences in the stability of Cr(I), Mn(I) or Fe(I) complexes

Two univalent transition metal complexes, (micro-eta6:eta6-C7H8){MnAr*-3,5-Pri2}2 () and (eta6-C6H6)FeAr*-3,5-Pri2 () (Ar*-3,5-Pri2=C6H-2,6-(C6H(2)-2,4,6-Pri3)(2)-3,5-Pri2), that have eta6 arene coordination were synthesized by reduction of the corresponding metal halides. The complexes are thermally stable in contrast to the corresponding Cri complexes of benzene or toluene which decompose at room temperature.     

Diarylstannylene activation of hydrogen or ammonia with arene elimination

Treatment of the stannylenes SnAr'2 (Ar' = C6H3-2,6(C6H3-2,6-Pri2)2), SnAr2# (Ar# = C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-Me3)2, or Sn{N(SiMe3)2}2 with H2, D2, or NH3 under identical, mild (1 atm, 65 degrees C) conditions showed that SnAr2' reacted readily to afford the products {Ar'Sn(mu-H)}2, {Ar'Sn(mu-D)}2, or {Ar'Sn(mu-NH2)}2 with elimination of Ar'H or Ar'D. The less crowded stannylenes SnAr2# and Sn{N(SiMe3)2}2 were recovered unreacted. The differences in reactivity were accounted for in terms of the n-p energy separations which is lowest in the case of AnAr2'. The low energy separation in SnAr' is consistent with enhanced singlet diradical character of the ground state which increases its reactivity.     

An arene-stabilized cobalt(I) aryl: reactions with CO and NO

The half-sandwich cobalt(I) complex (eta (6)-C 7H 8)CoAr*-3,5- ( i )Pr 2 (Ar*-3,5- ( i )Pr 2 = -C 6H-2,6-(C 6H 2-2,4,6- ( i )Pr 3) 2-3,5- ( i )Pr 2) was synthesized by reduction of [3,5- ( i )Pr 2Ar*Co(mu-Cl)] 2 in toluene. It reacts with CO or NO to afford the unusual complexes [3,5- ( i )Pr 2Ar*C(O)Co(CO)] or [3,5- ( i )Pr 2Ar*N(NO)OCo(NO) 2].     

Magnetogasdynamic flows in two dimensions with orthogonal magnetic and velocity field distributions

Résumé Nous considérons ici les propriétés d'écoulements magnéto-hydrodynamiques permanents, à deux dimensions, d'un fluide élastique non-visqueux et non-conducteur de la chaleur ayant une conductivité électrique infinie lorsque les champs magnétiques et de vitesse sont partout orthogonaux. En employant partout une formulation intrinsèque, on montre que, dans certaines limites, ce genre d'écoulement peut être réduit à celui d'un gaz sans champ magnétique. On donne des exemples qui illustrent cette technique.

Reactions of Podophyllotoxin with DDQ

Introduction 2, 3-Dichloro-5, 6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) can react with lignans of the mono- arylidene-butyrolactone1, aryltetralin2, dibenzylbutane3 and aryltetralin-butyrolactone4,5 series. We have studied the reactions of this reagent with podophyllotoxin 1, which is a well-known natural product on account of its long history of use in folk medicine and the biological activity of its many derivatives6. In particular, derivatives of 4-demethyl epipodophyllotoxin are used in cancer chemo…     

Stereoelectronic Control of Additions of Vinylmagnesium Bromide to 1-Methyland 3-Methylpentacyclo[5.4.0.02,6.03,10.05.9]undecane-8,11-diones and to 1-Methylhexacyclo[10.2.1.0.02,11.04,9.04,14.09,13]pentadeca-5,7-diene-3,10-dione

Grignard addition of excess vinylmagnesium bromide to 1-methyland 3-methylpentacyclo[5.4.0.0^2,6.0^3,10.0^5,9]undecane-8,11-diones (1a and 1b, respectively) and to 1-methylhexacyclo[10.2.1.0^2,11.0^4,9.0^4,14.0^9,13]pentadeca-5,7-diene-3,10-dione (4) each proceed regiospecifically to afford a single hemiketal adduct (i.e., 2a, 3a, and 5a, respectively). The structure of each of the three reaction products was established unequivocally via application of X-ray crystallographic methods. Relative energies for the model transition states obtained from geometry optimizations at the Hartree–Fock level of theory in basis set 3-21G(d) indicate that these reactions are kinetically controlled.

A numerical scheme for solving a periodically forced Reynolds equation

A modified Reynolds equation is used to model the air‐film in a high‐speed squeeze‐film bearing. The axial position of the bearing stator is prescribed as a finite amplitude periodic oscillation. A numerical approach is considered for solving the uncoupled and coupled periodic problems associated with this model. The uncoupled problem requires the computation of the squeeze‐film dynamics when the rotor is held at a fixed axial position and the coupled problem incorporates the additional air–rotor interaction since the rotor position is unknown and modelled as a spring‐mass‐damper system. The details of a Fourier spectral collocation scheme are provided for the reduction of the modified Reynolds equation to a system of non‐linear, first‐order ordinary differential equations in space. Using the Matlab boundary value problem solver bvp4c this system of equations is solved to give the periodic pressure distributions and rotor heights. The high degree of accuracy in the spectral collocation scheme is demonstrated through comparison with an appropriate analytical solution. Further analysis indicates that the direct periodic solver is at least 10 times faster than the equivalent Crank–Nicholson finite‐difference scheme. For changing values of a selected physical parameter the method of arc‐length continuation is employed to track branches of solutions computed using the spectral collocation scheme. A selection of results is presented to demonstrate the range of accessible solutions and the robust nature of the numerical scheme. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
