Macrocyclic Systems Containing 2,6,9-Trioxabicyclo[3.3.1]-nona-3,7-dienes as Chiral Spacer Groups: Synthesis,Stereochemical Features and Preliminary Complexation Properties

Novel 2:2-macrocycles bearing bridged concave 2,6,9-trioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nona-3,7-dienes as chiral spacer units were obtained by cyclocondensation reaction of the chiral bisacid chloride and the corresponding diols, while use of methylene diamines instead of diols afforded 1:1 macrocycles only. Applying the same, but now template-assisted, experimental procedure to the reaction of the bisacid chloride with triethylene glycol brought about a significant increase in yield as well as a suitable simplification of the work-up during preparation and separation of the corresponding 1:1 as well as 2:2 macrocycles, when compared to results reported previously. HPLC separation on chiral columns revealed the presence of diastereoisomers [R,R(S,S)- and R,S-(meso)-forms] for all 2:2 macrocycles, which was further evidenced by the CD spectrum of one of those species as an example. Preliminary ESI-MS experiments indicated strong complexation abilities of the sulphur-containing ligand towards Ag(I), Cu(II) and Au(III) ions.     

EWG assisted nucleophilic fluorination using PPHF: a strategy for the synthesis of 1,2,2-triaryl-2-fluoroethanones

The nucleophilic fluorination of 1,2,2-triaryl-2-hydroxyethanones by fluoride ion has been carried out using pyridinium poly(hydrogen fluoride) (PPHF) to give 1,2,2-triaryl-2-fluoroethanones in fairly good yield. The presence of electron withdrawing group (EWG), such as -COAr at the carbon bearing hydroxyl group facilitates such nucleophilic fluorination. The intermediacy of bridged oxiranyl ion and α-ketocarbenium ion has been proposed for the formation of various α-fluoroketones and benzofuran derivatives respectively.     

IV Dodekaedrische [Mo(CN)8]‐Koordination in den cyanoverbrückten Cobalt‐ und Nickel‐Amminkomplexen MII2(NH3)8[Mo(CN)8] · 1,5 H2O (MII = Co,Ni) und Ni2(NH3)9[Mo(CN)8] · 2 H2O

Crystal Structures of Octacyanomolybdates(IV). IV Dodecahedral [Mo(CN)₈] Coordination of the Cyano‐Bridged Cobalt and Nickel Ammin Complexes M^II₂(NH₃)₈[Mo(CN)₈] · 1.5 H₂O (M^II = Co, Ni) and Ni₂(NH₃)₉[Mo(CN)₈] · 2 H₂O At single crystals of the hydrated cyano complexes Co₂(NH₃)₈[Mo(CN)₈] · 1.5 H₂O (a = 910.0(4), b = 1671(2), c = 1501(1) pm, β = 93.76(6)°) and Ni₂(NH₃)₈[Mo(CN)₈] · 1.5 H₂O (a = 899.9(9), b = 1654.7(4), c = 1488(1) pm, β = 94.01°), isostructurally crystallizing in space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, and of trigonal Ni₂(NH₃)₉[Mo(CN)₈] · 2 H₂O (a = 955.1(1), c = 2326.7(7) pm, P3₁, Z = 3), X‐ray structure determinations were performed at 168 resp. 153 K. The [Mo(CN)₈]^4– groups of the three compounds, prepared at about 275 K and easily decomposing, show but slightly distorted dodecahedral coordination (mean distances Mo–C: 216.3, 215.4 and 216.1 pm). Within the monoclinic complexes the anions twodimensionally form cyano bridges to the ammin cations [M(NH₃)₄]²⁺ and are connected with the resulting [MN₆] octahedra (Co–N: 215.1 pm, Ni–N: 209.8 pm) into strongly puckered layers. The trigonal complex exhibits a chain structure, as one [Ni(NH₃)₅]²⁺ cation is only bound as terminal octahedron (Ni–N: 212.0 pm). Details and the influence of hydrogen bridges are discussed.     

Dimeric cyclopalladated azobenzenes: structural differences between 2-hydroxypyridine and 2-mercaptopyridine bridged complexes

Binuclear chloro-bridged cyclopalladated azobenzenes [Pd(A)Cl]₂ (A=ortho-metallated azobenzene or its derivatives) have been reacted with aqueous (aq.) AgNO₃ followed by the addition of 2-hydroxypyridine (2-PyOH; donor centres of deprotonated form abbreviated N,O)/2-mercaptopyridine (2-PySH; donor centres of deprotonated form abbreviated N,S) in presence of Et₃N to synthesise bridged dinuclear compound [Pd(A)(μ-N,O)]₂–[Pd(A)(μ-N,S)]₂. The compositions of the complexes have been established by elemental analyses, IR, UV–vis, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR spectral data. The structural confirmation has been carried out by X-ray crystallography. The structures show anti-symmetric metallacycle in the dimer and N,O/N,S bridging arrangement. The dimer [Pd(A₁)(μ-N,X)]₂ shows strong PdPd interaction (A₁=2-(phenylazo)benzene). The coordination mode in [Pd(A₁)(μ-N,O)]₂ shows trans pyridine-N to Pd---N(azo) bond while in [Pd(A₁)(μ-N,S)]₂ pyridine-N is trans to the Pd---C bond. The square planes are convergent towards heterocyclic bridging side.     

Computational studies of benzyl-substituted halonium ions

Density functional computations were carried out whose objectives were to quantify the interactions of chlorine and bromine with neighboring cationic centers in a series of 1-aryl-2-haloethyl cations. Analysis of structural changes and bonding interactions gave rise to linear correlations with σ⁺ values of the aryl substituents. Electron-donating groups diminished bridging and electron-withdrawing groups gave rise to stronger bridging.

Crystal and molecular structure of a crown-bridgedp-t-butyl-calix[4]arene (1:1) pyridine complex. Host-guest interaction model based on molecular mechanics analysis [1]

The crystal and molecular structure of a crownedp-t-butyl-calix[4]arene (1:1) pyridine complex is reported. Colourless transparent prismatic crystals (obtained from pyridine) C₅₄H₇₄O₈·C₅H₅N,a=13.486(4),b=15.193(4),c=16.432(5) Å, =116.44(4)°, space groupP2₁,Z=2,D _calc=1.02g cm^–3, CuK radiation =1.5418 Å (CuK )=4.99 cm^–1. Refinement was carried out using 1702 reflections withI>3(I) toR 0.12. The macrocycle shows a distorted cone conformation which defines an intramolecular apolar cavity whose elliptical aperture is 11.5×8.6 Å calculated as distances between the two opposite central C atoms of the Bu ^t groups. A molecule of pyridine is included in this cavity, whereas the intermolecular cavities of the host lattice remain empty. The influence of the guest molecule on the conformation of the calixarene-crown is discussed. Potential energy calculations are performed in order to understand the nature of the host-guest interactions responsible for the stabilisation of the complex. Evidence for stabilizing CH₃- interactions are obtained from the calculations.

Synthesen von Hydroxy- sowie Methoxy-dicyano-pseudo-phenafulvenen mit zentraler 1.6-Methano-[10]-annulen-gruppe

Synthesis of pseudophenalenone3 are described starting from 2-acetyl-1.6-methano-[10]-annulene (1) via2 and from the dihydro-pseudophenalenone4 besides the chloro-derivative5. Reaction of acetylhexachloroantimonate6 with3 at low temperatures yields the acetyloxy-pseudophenalenium-hexachloro-antimonate7 which reacts with sodium-malodinitrile and triethylamine to give a mixture of isomers14/15, with dimethylsulfate and sodiumhydroxide to the mixture of isomers16/17.
