A new route of the reaction of EtAlCl2 with α-olefins catalyzed by Ti complexes

A new method for the synthesis of dialkyl(ethyl)alanes by the reaction of EtAlCl₂ with -olefins in the presence of Mg and a catalytic amount of Cp₂TiCl₂ (Ti(OPrⁱ)₄, Ti(OBuⁿ)₄) in THF was developed.     

The Thermal Stability of Ciprofloxacin Complexes with Magnesium(II), Zinc(II) and Cobalt(II)

The thermal behaviour of Mg(II), Zn(II) and Co(II) compounds of ciprofloxacin was studied by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) in order to determine or to confirm some structural characteristics of substances. The complexes decompose in two steps: dehydration and pyrolytic decomposition of the anhydrous complexes to form metal oxide or metal fluoride. The dehydration process of one magnesium(II) compound takes place in two steps suggesting a marked difference in the bonding of water molecules. The different bonding mode of the ciprofloxacin molecules in both magnesium compounds leads to different residues of the thermal decompositions.

Transition Metal Complexes with Pyrazole-based Ligands. Part 12. Characterisation and thermal decomposition of CuCl2 complexes with di- and trisubstituted pyrazoles

The synthesis of copper(II) chloride complexes with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, 1-carboxamidine-3,5-dimethylpyrazole, 5-amino-4-carboxamide-1-phenylpyrazole and 4-acetyl-3-amino-5-methylpyrazole is described. The compounds are characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal methods, magnetic moment and molar conductivity measurements. Thermal decomposition of the dichloro-(3,5-dimethylpyrazole)-copper(II) complex results in an unstable intermediate with a stochiometric composition. The decomposition of the other compounds is continuous. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Copper(II)–Ammonia Complexation Equilibria in Aqueous Solutions at Temperatures from 30 to 250°C by Visible Spectroscopy

The spectra of copper(II)–ammonia solutions in 2 mol-kg^–1 NH₄NO₃(aq) were recorded as a function of pH with a new UV–visible flow cell, capable of operating at conditions up to 325°C and 300 bars. Equilibrium constants for the formation of copper(II)–ammonia complexes Cu(NH₃)_n ²⁺, 1 n 4, from 30 to 150°C were determined by evolving factor analysis and nonlinear least-squares regression. Measurements at higher temperatures were limited by thermal decomposition of NH₄NO₃(aq). The formation constants of Cu(NH₃)_n ²⁺ decrease with temperature, consistent with extrapolations of literature data from measurements below 100°C. Measurements above 150°C were carried out in 0.5 mol-kg^–1 CF₃SO₃H (aq), at the very high ammonia concentrations required to avoid the precipitation of CuO(s). The spectra are consistent with Cu(NH₃)₄ ²⁺ as the predominant species, based on extrapolations of peak maxima and molar absorptivities from lower temperatures. Shifts in the spectra of Cu²⁺ and the Cu(NH₃)_n ²⁺ species to higher wavelength and increases in molar absorbance with increasing temperature are discussed in terms of the structure of the complexes.     

Spectrochemical Properties of Noncubical Transition Metal Complexes in Solution. XII. Angular Overlap Studies of Salicylideneethylenediamine Cu(II) Complex in Various Solvents

As a part of our general interest in the UV-Vis spectroscopy of multidentate mixed-donor ligands, the (salicylideneethylenediamine)Cu(II) complex has been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, solubility in common solvents, molar conductivities, and ultraviolet (UV), and visible (Vis) spectroscopy. The combined results of spectrophotometric measurements and EPR spectra, as well as known the X-ray structure for solids, were used to determine the structure of the investigated complex in solutions. The spectra of [Cu(salen)] (H₂salen = salicylideneethylenediamine), were measured in various solvents at room temperature, resolved by Gaussian analysis, and angular overlap model (AOM) treated in C _2v symmetry. Because of overparametrization problems, the bis(salicylaldehyde)Cu(II) complex has been characterized and AOM treated. The results of this have been used for AOM studies of [Cu(salen)]. The effect of the solvents upon the - and -bonding ligand abilities is discussed.     

Triphosphane formation from the terminal zirconium phosphinidene complex [Cp2Zr=PDmp(PMe3)] (Dmp=2,6-Mes2C6H3) and crystal structure of DmpP(PPh2)2

The new terminal phosphinidene complex [Cp₂Zr=PDmp(PMe₃)] (Dmp=2,6-Mes₂C₆H₃; 1) was prepared in 81% yield by the reaction of [Li(Et₂O)][P(H)Dmp] with [Cp₂Zr(Me)Cl] in the presence of excess PMe₃. Compound 1 reacts with Ph₂PCl to produce selectively the sterically congested triphosphane DmpP(PPh₂)₂ (2) and [Cp₂ZrCl₂] in high yields. The structure of 2 obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis of a single crystal reveals phosphorus–phosphorus bond lengths of 2.251(2) and 2.234(2) Å and a PPP bond angle of 105.46(6)°.     

Preparation, properties, and reactions of metal-containing heterocycles: Part CV. Synthesis and structure of polyoxadiphosphaplatinaferrocenophanes

A series of novel heterobimetallic crown ether-like polyoxadiphosphaplatinaferrocenophanes cis-[1,1′-Fc(CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂]PtCl₂ (n=1–3) (4a–c) was synthesized in good yield by cyclization of the bis(phosphine) ligands 1,1′-Fc(CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂ (n=1–3) (3a–c) and (PhCN)₂PtCl₂ under high dilution conditions in CH₂Cl₂. The bisphosphines 3a–c are obtained by reaction of the corresponding diols 1,1′-Fc(CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₂CH₂OH)₂ (n=1–3) (1a–c) with: (i) CH₃SO₂Cl in CH₂Cl₂ and (ii) LiPPh₂ in THF. Although the X-ray crystal structure of 4a shows that the cavity is large enough for the encapsulation of small metal cations, inclusion experiments of 4a–c with Group 1 cations, and Mg²⁺, or NH₄⁺ in solution applying NMR titration and cyclovoltammetric methods reveal no evidence for the formation of host–guest complexes for 4a,b. In the case of 4c only the addition of Na⁺ or K⁺ leads to an insignificant effect.     

Cyano-bridged bimetallic complexes of copper(II) with tetracyanonickelate(II). Crystal structure of [Cu(dpt)Ni(CN)4]

Five new complexes of composition [Cu(dpt)Ni(CN)₄] (1) (dpt=dipropylenetriamine), [Cu(dien)Ni(CN)₄]·2H₂O (2) (dien=diethylenetriamine), [Cu(N,N′-dimeen)Ni(CN)₄]·H₂O (3) (N,N′-dimeen=N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine), [Cu(N,N-dimeen)Ni(CN)₄]·H₂O (4) (N,N-dimeen=N,N-dimethylethylenediamine) and [Cu(trimeen)Ni(CN)₄] (5) (trimeen=N,N,N′-trimethylethylenediamine) have been obtained by the reactions of the mixture of Cu(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O, appropriate amine and K₂[Ni(CN)₄] in water and have been characterized by IR and UV–Vis spectroscopies and magnetic measurements. The crystal structure of [Cu(dpt)Ni(CN)₄] (1) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The structure of 1 consists of a one-dimensional polymeric chain ---Cu(dpt)---NC---Ni(CN)₂---CN---Cu(dpt)--- in which the Cu(II) and Ni(II) atoms are linked by CN groups. The nickel atom is four coordinate with four cyanide-carbon atoms (two cyano groups are terminal and two cyano groups (in cis fashion) are bridged) in a square-planar arrangement and the copper atom is five coordinate with two cyanide-nitrogen and three dpt-nitrogen atoms, in a distorted square-pyramidal arrangement. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility (2–300 K) was measured for compound 1. The magnetic investigation showed the presence of a very weak antiferromagnetic interaction (J=−0.16 cm⁻¹) between the copper atoms within each chain through the diamagnetic Ni(CN)₄ ²⁻ ions.
