The crystal structures of two Mercury Perrhenates

The mercury perrhenates with the empirical formulas HgReO₄ and Hg₂ReO₅ were prepared by annealing powdered mixtures of mercury(II)oxide and mercury(II)metaperrhenate Hg(ReO₄)₂ in sealed silica tubes. Their crystal structures were determined from single-crystal X-ray data. HgReO₄ crystallizes dimeric with nearly linear O₃Re? O? Hg? Hg? O? ReO₃ molecular units and Hg₂ReO₅ has a solid state structure, where Hg(I) and Hg(II) together with oxygen atoms form 14-membered rings, which are condensed to two-dimensionally infinite polycationic nets of composition (Hg₂²⁺ · 2 HgO)_n. These nets are separated from each other by tetrahedral ReO₄^? anions.     

Synthesis and properties of the Co7Se8−xSx and Ni7Se8−xSx solid solutions

We report the synthesis and elementary properties of the Co₇Se_8−xS_x (x=0-8) and Ni₇Se_8−xS_x (x=0-7) solid solutions. Both systems form a NiAs-type structure with metal vacancies. In general, the lattice parameters decrease with increasing x, but in the Ni₇Se_8−xS_x system c increases on going from x=5 to 7. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that all samples exhibit temperature-independent paramagnetism from 25-250 K. Samples within the Co₇Se_8−xS_x system, as well as Ni₇Se₈ and Ni₇SeS₇, were found to be poor metals with resistivities of ∼0.20 and ∼0.06 mΩ cm at 300 K, respectively. The Sommerfeld constant (γ) was determined from specific heat measurements to be ∼13 mJ/mol_CoK² and ∼7 mJ/mol_NiK² for Co₇Se_8−xS_x and Ni₇Se_8−xS_x, respectively.     

Synthesis of 12-deoxyroyleanone, cryptoquinone, 11,14-dihydroxy-8,11,13-abietatrien-7-one, and related derivatives from dehydroabietic acid

Naturally occurring abietane quinones and hydroquinone, namely, 12-deoxyroyleanone (1a), cryptoquinone (4a), and 11,14-dihydroxyabieta-8,11,13-trien-7-one (5a), together with the epimers of tryptoquinones D (2) and F (3), were first synthesized from dehydroabietic acid (6).     

Construction of a pyrido[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidine system on the basis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-cyanobenzamidine and diethyl acetone-1,3-dicarboxylate

Nickel acetate promoted reaction of diethyl acetone-1,3-dicarboxylate with N-cyanobenzamidine led to ethyl 4-amino-6-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-2-phenylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate, upon treatment of which with RNH₂, the corresponding 6-(carbamoylmethyl)pyrimidines were obtained. Cyclization of the latter upon treatment with MeONa afforded 6-R-4-amino-7-hydroxy-2-phenylpyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5(6H)-ones. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Stereochemicai study of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)indolizinones by1H and13C NMR

Stereochemistry of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)-indolizinones was studied by¹H and¹³C NMR. Complete assignment of¹H NMR signals and analysis of¹H-¹H coupling constants were performed using the iterative PANIC program. Values of³ J _6,7,³ J _7,8endo, and⁴ J _5,7 allow one to unambiguously identify the correspondingexo- andendo-stereoisomers. For stereoisomers with exo-orientation of H(7), complete assignment of¹³C NMR signals was performed on the basis of analysis of the¹³C-¹H coupling constants using two dimensional heteronuclear shift-correlating spectroscopy.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Condensed Tetrazolo-1,3,5-triazines. 1. Synthesis of 5-Polynitromethyltetrazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]-1,3,5-triazin-7-one Salts

The aziridation of 2-R-4,6-bis(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazines containing electron-donor substituents has been studied. It was found that the corresponding 4-azido-2-dialkylamino-6-trinitromethyl-1,3,5-triazines are formed when R = NMe₂, NEt₂. When R = O^–NMe₄ ⁺ a novel reaction route was discovered leading to the tetramethylammonium salt of 5-polynitromethyltetrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazin-7-one which is formed as a result of azido-tetrazole and lactim-lactam tautomeric conversion. Denitration of this salt at the trinitromethyl group occurs with retention of the tetrazolo-1,3,5-triazine structure. An X-ray analysis was carried out for the denitration product which was the dipotassium salt of 5-dinitromethyltetrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazin-7-one.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 259–266, February, 2005.

Interaction of 2-bromo-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-α]pyrimidine with methylene-active compounds and acid hydrolysis of its products

Reactions of 2-bromo-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine with sodium derivatives of pentane-2,4-dione, malonodinitrile, Meldrum acid, acetoacetic, cyanoacetic and malonic esters have been shown to give the respective substituted derivatives. Azinyl-ylidene tautomerism has been found to be characteristic of these compounds, the latter existing mainly in the ylidene form. The acid hydrolysis of pentane-2, 5-dione and cyanoacetic and malonic esters derivatives has been investigated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

2-[6-Alkyl-3-hetaryl-4-oxo-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno-[8,7-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>][1,3]oxazin-9-yl]acetic acids

The interaction has been studied of a series of substituted 3-hetaryl-7-hydroxychromones with amino acids and formaldehyde (reactants ratio 1: 1: 2 respectively). In the case of glycine and Het = 3-isoxazolyl the product of aminomethylation at position 8 of the chromone was obtained, and with other Het (including Het = 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) 2-[6-alkyl-3-hetaryl-4-oxo-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]-oxazin-9-yl]acetic acids were formed. With β-alanine and Het = 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl the corresponding β-substituted propionic acid was synthesized, but proline did not participate in the reaction, leading to bis(6-ethyl-3-hetaryl-7-hydroxychromon-8-yl)methane. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 683–689, May, 2007.     

The electronic structure of molecules by a many-body approach

The vertical valence ionization potentials of cyclopropane, ethylene oxide and ethylene imine are calculated by a many-body Green's function method. For C₃H₆ the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2e(), 1e(), 2a₁(), 1a₂(), 1e(). The assignment of the 2a₁ and the 1a₂ ionization potentials which has been controversial is thus clarified. The ordering is in agreement with the result obtained via Koopmans' theorem. For ethylene oxide and ethylene imine Koopmans' theorem fails in predicting the correct order of ionic states. For C₂H₄O the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2b ₁(), 4a ₁, 1a ₂(), 2b ₂,3a ₁, 1b ₁(), 1b ₂, 2a ₁ and for C₂H₅N 6a, 5a, 3a, 2a, 4a, 3a, 1a, 2a. The agreement of the computed ionization potentials with the experimental values is very satisfactory.
