Synthesis of novel silylated 1,2,4-triazin-5-ones

The reaction of various α-silyl-α-keto esters with thiosemicarbazide at 50 °C in ethyl acetate was found to give α-silyl-substituted thiosemicarbazone-acetic acid esters in good yield. These may then be converted to their corresponding silyl-substituted 1,2,4-triazin-5-ones by cyclization under basic conditions.     

U-4C-3CR versus U-5C-4CR and stereochemical outcomes using suitable bicyclic β-amino acid derivatives as bifunctional components in the Ugi reaction

Intramolecular Ugi reactions with bicyclic β-amino acids have been performed and the effects of the configuration and N-alkylation have been studied. We have proven that preferential ring contraction or nucleophilic attack by the solvent depend not only on the presence of N-alkylation but also on the relative disposition of the carboxyl group and the amine. Excellent results in terms of stereoselectivity have been obtained in the case of N-alkyl-3-exo-amino-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]-2-endo-carboxylic acids.     

Solvent and substituent effects on the conformational equilibria and intramolecular hydrogen bonding of 4-substituted-2-hydroxybenzaldehydes

By applying the B3LYP/6-31G(d) method with the SCIPCM model on seven 4X substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes, some structural characteristics related with their conformational equilibria and intramolecular hydrogen bonds have been clarified. The compounds are almost completely under the planar conformation characterized by a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond, which decreases in those solvents that possess a higher hydrogen bond donating capability and polarity. The substituents exert a marked influence on the conformational equilibrium constants and the strength of the IHB. Moreover, the excellent Hammett-type equations obtained support the proposed conformational reactions to quantify the IHB in the o-hydroxybenzaldehydes studied.     

Theoretical study on intermolecular interactions in BrF/HnX adducts

Equilibrium geometries, interaction energies, and charge transfer for the intermolecular interactions between BrF and H_nX (HF, H₂O, and NH₃) were studied at the MP2/6-311++G(3d,3p) level. The halogen-bonded geometry and hydrogen-bonded geometry are observed in these interactions. The calculated interaction energies show that the halogen-bonded structures are more stable than the corresponding hydrogen-bonded structures. To study the nature of the intermolecular interactions, symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) calculations were carried out and the results indicate that the halogen bonding interactions are dominantly inductive energy in nature, while electrostatic energy governs the hydrogen bonding interactions.     

Effect of hydrogen bonding of solvent on the thermodynamic stability of cadmium ethylenediamine complexes

Changes in the stability of the cadmium(ii) ethylenediamine complexes in mixed water—DMSO solvents were studied by pH-metry and calorimetry. Complex cations [Cd(en)]²⁺, [Cd(en)₂]²⁺, and [Cd(en)₃]²⁺ are formed in aqueous solutions, and the [Cd(en)₄]²⁺ complex with a partially dentate ligand is stable in DMSO. An increase in the DMSO content in a solvent increases the stability of the complexes. The maximum increase in logK is observed for coordinatively saturated compounds. The thermodynamics of complexation is discussed from the viewpoint of solvation approach. Principal differences in the influence of aqueous-alcohol and aqueous-aprotic solvents on the stability of the metal amino complexes were revealed. Protolytic solvents exert a destabilizing effect on the multiligand complexes, because the coordination sphere is involved in H bonding.     

Umsetzung von Metall- und Metalloidverbindungen mit mehrfunktionellen Molekülen, 31. Mitteilung

The reaction of galliumtrichloride and galliumtribomide resp. with 2,6-dimethyl- and 2,4,6-trimethyl-N-trimethylsilyl-trifluoroacetanilide leads to the trifluoracetanilidodihalogenogallanes1–3. The 2,6,9-trioxa-4,8-diaza-1,5-digalla-bicyclo-[3.3.1]-nonadiene derivatives1 a–3 a are formed probably as by products.N-Trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide reacts with galliumtrichloride to yield the trifluoroacetamido-dichlorogallane4.N-Trimethylsilyl-N,N,N-triorganyl-thioureas react with galliumtrichloride under elimination of chlorotrimethylsilane to give the thio-ureido-gallanes5 and6. IfN,N-diorganylureas andN,N-diorganyl-thio-ureas resp. are reacted with galliumtrichloride and methyl-gallium-dichloride resp., the thio-ureido- and ureido-gallanes7–9 are obtained by elimination of hydrogenchloride. The compounds are characterized by analysis and spectral data (NMR:¹H,¹⁹F; MS; IR). The substances are monomeric in the gas phase, obviously due to internal coordination.

Properties of a Ring Critical Pointas Measures of Intramolecular H-Bond Strength

Summary.  The topological parameters derived from the Bader theory such as the electron density and its Laplacian at the ring critical point (RCP) are analysed here as possible measures of the H-bond stength for intramolecular H-bonds. The parameters of RCP correlate well with the other properties of intramolecular H-bonds which are known as good measures of the H-bond strength. The calculations were performed on two samples of compounds with intramolecular H-bonds: the derivatives of malonaldehyde and the derivatives of o-hydroxybenzaldehyde. MP2 and HF calculations were carried out using a 6-311++G^** basis set. E-mail: slagra@krysia.uni.lodz.pl Received February 18, 2002; accepted (revised) May 27, 2002     

Progress on phthalocyanine-conjugated Ag and Au nanoparticles: Synthesis,characterization, and photo-physicochemical properties

Phthalocyanine (Pc) complexes are an important class of dyes with numerous (e.g., biological, photophysical, and analytical) applications. Among the methods used to improve the properties of these complexes, one should mention the introduction of different substituents, variation of the central metal ion, ligand exchange, and conjugation to nanomaterials (e.g., carbon-based nanomaterials and metal nanoparticles (NPs)). This work briefly reviews Pc complex conjugation to Ag and Au NPs, highlights the different NP shapes, and discusses the diversity of conjugation approaches. Moreover, the use of UV–Vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to characterize Pc-NP hybrids is summarized. The effect of conjugation on Pc photo-physicochemical properties (fluorescence, singlet oxygen generation, triplet state formation, and optical limiting behavior) is discussed, and future perspectives for the synthesis and applications of new hybrids are provided.     

反应注射成型聚氨酯互穿聚合物网络研究——刚性网络对于体系形态及性能的影响

用微型反应注射成型机制备了以聚氨酯(PU)为弹性相的两类同步互穿聚合物网络(SIN),其刚性相分别采用保留仲羟基的乙烯基酯树脂(VERH)以及封闭仲羟基的乙烯基酯树脂(VERA)。用傅里叶变换红外光谱在线跟踪了这类互穿网络的生成过程,发现刚性网络抑制了PU网络中硬段有序结构的形成,两个网络间有一定程度的互穿,而两个网络间的化学键作用进一步削弱氢键强度。自旋—自旋弛豫时间的测定进一步表明网络间存在一定的互穿以及刚性相对于PU硬段结晶的抑制作用。材料的力学性能与其SIN的形态有关。VERA网络对PU表现出明显的增强作用,而由VERH网络形成的SIN则由于体系相分离进程受到严重阻碍而使材料性能恶化。
