Crystal structures of (azido)(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium(III) complexes containing various types of bidentate ligands

Several (azido)iridium(III) complexes having a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp∗) group, [Cp∗Ir(N₃)₂(Ph₂Ppy-κP)] (1: Ph₂Ppy = 2-diphenylphosphinopyridine), [Cp∗Ir(N₃)(Ph₂Ppy-κP,κN)]CF₃SO₃ (2), [Cp∗Ir(N₃)(dmpm)]PF₆ (3: dmpm = bis(dimethylphosphino)methane), [Cp∗Ir(N₃)(Ph₂Pqn)]PF₆·$·$CH₃OH (4·$·$CH₃OH: Ph₂Pqn = 8-diphenylphosphinoquinoline), and [Cp∗Ir(N₃)(pybim)] (5: Hpybim = 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole) have been prepared and their crystal structures have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction. In complex 1, the Ph₂Ppy ligand is only coordinated via the P atom (-κP), while in 2 it acts as a bidentate ligand through the P and N atoms (-κP,κN) to form a four-membered chelate ring. Comparing the structural parameters of the chelate ring in 2 with those of a similar five-membered chelate ring formed by Ph₂Pqn in 4, it became apparent that the angular distortion in the Ph₂Ppy-κP,κN ring was remarkable, although the Ir–P and Ir–N bonds in the Ph₂Ppy-κP,κN ring were not elongated very much from the corresponding bonds in the Ph₂Pqn-κP,κN ring. In the pybim complex 5, the five-membered chelate ring was coplanar with the pyridine and benzimidazolyl rings. With the related (azido)iridium(III) complexes analyzed previously, comparison of the structural parameters of the Ir–N₃ moiety in [Cp∗Ir^III(N₃)(L–L′)]^+/0 complexes reveals an anomalous feature of the 2,2′-bipyridyl (bpy) complex, [Cp∗Ir(N₃)(bpy)]PF₆.     

Facile Synthesis of β‐Azidocyclopropanecarboxylates by MIRC Reaction

Abstract

Two β‐azidocyclopropanecarboxylates are readily synthesized from β‐bromoalkyliden malonates via a Michael–initiated ring closure (MIRC) reaction in moderate yields, which are regarded as precursors of β‐aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acids.     

[Zn(AZT)4(H2O)2](PA)2∙4H2O和[Zn(AZT)2(H2O)4](HTNR)2∙4H2O (AZT = 3-叠氮-1,2,4-三唑, HPA = 苦味酸, H2TNR = 斯蒂芬酸)的合成、晶体结构、热分解及感度性能

以3-叠氮-1,2,4-三唑为配体，PA–（苦味酸根）或HTNR–（2,4,6-三硝基间苯二酚脱去一个羟基的质子后形成的离子）为外阴离子，制备得到了两种新的配合物：[Zn(AZT)4(H2O)2](PA)2∙4H2O和[Zn(AZT)2(H2O)4](HTNR)2∙4H2O。[Zn(AZT)4(H2O)2](PA)2∙ 4H2O的X射线晶体数据表明，中心Zn2+离子与来自4个AZT分子的N原子和2个H2O分子的O原子配位；而对于[Zn(AZT)2(H2O)4](HTNR)2∙4H2O来说，6个配位原子来自2个AZT分子的N原子和4个H2O分子的O原子。在两种配合物中，AZT配体分子的配位点都是三唑环上的4位N原子。H2O分子对于分子间氢键的形成起到了重要的作用，在分子间氢键的作用下形成了配合物的晶体结构。在[Zn(AZT)4(H2O)2](PA)2∙4H2O的晶体结构中，还存在错位面对面π-π堆积作用，它对于晶体结构的形成和稳定性也起到了重要作用。TG-DTG和DSC分析结果显示，[Zn(AZT)2(H2O)4](HTNR)2∙4H2O的热分解过程不如[Zn(AZT)4(H2O)2](PA)2∙4H2O剧烈，原因在于前者分子中含有较多配位水分子和较少AZT配体分子。感度测试结果表明，[Zn(AZT)4(H2O)2](PA)2∙4H2O有一定的火焰感度，而[Zn(AZT)2(H2O)4](HTNR)2∙4H2O却对热不敏感；两种化合物在撞击和摩擦作用下都表现钝感。     

Optimized Procedure for the Synthesis of 6‐Azido‐6‐deoxy‐galactopyranosides From 6‐O‐Tosyl‐galactopyranosides

The reaction conditions for preparation of 6‐azido‐6‐deoxy‐glycoside remain elusive, although there are many successful cases in hand. After careful investigation of the reaction conditions, a practical procedure for the preparation of 6‐azido‐6‐deoxy‐galactopyranoside derivatives was demonstrated.     

Chemoselective coupling of peptide fragments using the Staudinger ligation

Here we report the first Staudinger ligations which yield tetra- and pentapeptides starting from N-terminal α-azido peptides and C-terminal peptideo-(diphenylphosphine)phenyl esters. Mass spectrometric analysis of the reaction mixture provided a better insight into the mechanism of the Staudinger ligation and has been used to explain the observed intermediates and to optimize the ligation reaction. As a result, the optimized reaction enables the chemoselective coupling of peptides containing amino acids other than glycine at the ligation site.     

A concise synthesis of glycosyl-α-amino acid derivatives via homologation of dialdoses into bromo uronic acids and esters

The synthesis of the compounds of the title involves three steps from dialdoses. The reaction between potassium dibromoacetonitrile carbanion and protected dialdoses provides corresponding β-bromo-α-ketonitriles that are easily transformed into α-bromo esters by treatment with methanol or isopropanol or α-bromo acids by treatment with t-BuOH. Substitution of the bromine by sodium azide onto these last compounds and subsequent catalytic hydrogenation of the azide group afford the targeted glycosyl-α-amino acid derivatives. This methodology represents the most rapid access to the key α-amino acid moiety of polyoxins.

基于广义梯度近似密度泛函和全势能线性缀加平面波方法,本文对聚铜络合物[Cu(L)μ-1,3-N3]n(ClO4)n(其中L=tridentate Schiff base为三齿席夫基)的态密度和磁矩进行了计算.磁矩计算结果表明:①该聚铜络合物晶体格子的总磁矩为1.00 μB;②中心铜原子(离子)具有最大的原子磁矩,为0.531 μB;③铜原子和它周围最邻近的氮原子的原子磁矩是该聚铜络合物晶体格子总磁矩的主要来源.通过对中心铜原子及其最邻近氮原子的自旋态密度图进行分析,得出了铜原子和它周围最邻近氮原子的磁性主要分别来源于它们的d轨道和p轨道,同时还发现了中心铜离子的d轨道与叠氮末端氮原子的p轨道之间存在杂化现象, 以及中心铜离子向叠氮末端氮原子的自旋退局域化现象.自旋退局域化效应通过叠氮这一旁道使相邻两中心铜离子发生铁磁性相互作用.     

Magnetic properties of bridged azido complexes

It was shown on the basis of the generalized angular overlap model that specific features of the electronic structure of the N₃ ^– anion in polynuclear complexes with the M(_1,1-N_{3 2}M magnetic fragment should result in strong ferromagnetism. The _1,3-N₃ coordination mode favors antiferromagnetic properties. The theoretical results agree with experimental magnetostructural correlations.
