An analysis of the complex molecular orbitals method

Numerical results for the ground state of the HN ₂ ⁺ and HCO⁺ molecular ions at their near equilibrium geometry, obtained by the complex molecular orbitals (CMO) method in the extended basis set, are reported. The CMO wavefunction of the HN ₂ ⁺ ion is compared with the CI wavefunction obtained in the same basis set. This reveals the nature of approximations inherent in the CMO method. A peculiar feature of the occupation numbers of the CMO natural orbitals is also explained.Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. On leave from the Institute Rudjer Bokovi, Zagreb, Croatia, Yugoslavia.

Carbonyl allylation of aldehydes catalyzed by a silica-supported poly-γ-diphenylarsinopropylsiloxane palladium(0) complex

A silica-supported poly-γ-diphenylarsinopropylsiloxane palladium(0) complex has been prepared from γ-chloropropyltriethoxysilane via immobilization on fumed silica, followed by reacting with potassium diphenylarsenide and palladium chloride, and then the reduction with hydrazine hydrate. The palladium(0) complex has been found to catalyze the allylation of aldehydes via the formation of π-allylpalladium complexes, using allylic chlorides as allylating agent and SnCl₂ as reducing agent. This polymeric palladium complex can be recovered and reused.     

Synthetic studies on macrolactin A by using a (diene)Fe(CO)3 complex

The stereoselective synthesis of the two segments 3 and 4 of macrolactin A 1 is described. Macrolactin A is a 24-membered polyene macrolide antibiotic, which is of interest due to a strong activity against B16-F10 murine tumor cell and HIV-1 virus. The key step of the synthesis is the 1,2-migration reaction of a (diene)Fe(CO)₃ complex with a introduction of the thiol group to construct the unstable (E,Z)-conjugated dienic moiety (C8-C11).

Syntheses and X-Ray Crystal Structures of 2-Aminoindenes and Aminocymantrenes

Substituted 2-aminoindenes have been synthesized in almost quantitative yields by reactions of amines such as methylpiperazine, trimethylethylenediamine, 1,4-diaza-cycloheptane and N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine with 2-indanone. The 2-aminoindenes can be deprotonated and reacted with BrMn(CO)₃(Py)₂ to produce the respective aminoindenyl-cymantrenes in yields between 55–70%. The X-ray crystal structures of 2-(methylpiperazine)indenyl-cymantrene 5 (P1 , a = 12.667(3) Å, b = 16.630(3) Å, c = 17.382(3) Å, α = 72.70(3)°, β = 74.59(3)°, γ = 88.66(3)°, V = 3364.1(12) Å ³, Z = 8, R1(2σ(I)) = 4.02%, wR2(2σ(I)) = 10.30%) and the HClO₄ adduct of 2-(trimethylethylenediamine)-indenyl-cymantrene 6 (Cc, a = 23.722(5) Å, b = 6.9080 Å, c = 13.264 Å, β = 111.77(3)°, V = 2018.6(7) Å 3, Z = 4, R1(2σ(I)) = 2.94%, wR2(2σ(I)) = 7.90%) were determined. In both complexes the indenyl-carbon bonded to nitrogen displays significantly longer bonds to manganese [223.5(3)–225.8(3) pm] than the other four carbon atoms [213.3(3)–219.1(3) pm]. The short indenyl-nitrogen bonds of 136.2(4) and 137.8(4) pm are indicative of a substantial multiple bond character. The complexation of Zn²⁺ by the nitrogen atoms of 6 results in significant shifts of the CO stretching frequencies.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and reactivities of linear and butterfly chromium/selenium complexes containing substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands: crystal structures of [{η-MeC5H4Cr(CO)2}2Se] and [{η-EtO2CC5H4Cr(CO)2}2Se2]

The Cr-Cr singly-bonded dimers [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₃}₂] (1, R=Me; 2, R=CO₂Et) reacted with an equivalent of elemental selenium in THF at room temperature to give the linear Cr₂Se complexes [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₂}₂Se] (3, R=Me; 4, R=CO₂Et), whereas the linear Cr₂Se complex (5, R=MeCO) reacted with excess NaBH₄, Ph₃PCHPh or 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine under respective conditions to afford the linear Cr₂Se derivatives [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₂}₂Se] (6, R=MeCH(OH); 7, R=PhCHCMe; 8, R=2,4-(NO₂)₂C₆H₃NHNCMe). Similarly, while the butterfly Cr₂Se₂ complexes [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₂}₂Se₂] (9, R=Me; 10, R=CO₂Et) could be produced either by reaction of dimers 1 and 2 with an excess amount of elemental selenium, or by reaction of the linear complexes 3 and 4 with an equivalent of elemental selenium, the butterfly Cr₂Se₂ derivatives [{η⁵-RC₅H₄Cr(CO)₂}₂Se₂] (12, R=MeCH(OH); 13, R=PhCHCMe; 14, R=2,4-(NO₂)₂C₆H₃NHNCMe) were yielded by reaction of the butterfly Cr₂Se₂ complex (11, R=MeCO) with an excess quantity of NaBH₄, Ph₃PCHPh and 2,4-dinitrophenylhyazine. Both the linear complexes 3, 4, 6-8 and the butterfly complexes 9, 10, 12-14 are new, which have been fully characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.     

~(14)N ENDOR Study on Bis(2-Hydroxylphenyl Ketoxime)-~(63)Cu(Ⅱ) Complex

The ENDOR spectrum of ~(14)N-~(63)Cu-HAP complex in DMSO/EtOH (5:1) freezing solution at 20 K has been studied using orientational selective method in this paper. The anisotropic superhyperfine coupling tensor and qusdrupole coupling tensor of ligand ~(14)N nucleus, and the superhyperfine coupling tensor of various ~1H nuclei have been measured precisely. Comparing the superhyperfine coupling tensor of ~(14)N-nucleus with previous work shows that the analytical method of spectrum is reasonable and the data are reliable in our previous work.     

Can TMS and DSS be used as NMR references for cyclodextrin species in aqueous solution?

Tetramethylsilane (TMS) can be included by -cyclodextrin (-CD), and sodium 2,2-dimethylsilapentane-5-sulphonate (DSS) can form inclusion complexes with - and -CD. The NMR chemical shifts are changed considerably as a result of the strong interaction between CD and the guest compound in the inclusion complexes. A downfield shift of as much as 0.63 ppm shift downfield has been observed for the protons of external TMS in CD aqueous solution. In view of this, the question arises of whether TMS and DSS can be used as internal references. DSS in D₂O is suggested as an external reference for aqueous cyclodextrin solution in NMR measurements.     

Cellulose hydrolysis using zinc chloride as a solvent and catalyst

Cellulose gel with < 10% of crystallinity was prepared by treatment of microcrystalline cellulose, Avicel, with zinc chloride solution at a ratio of zinc chloride to cellulose from 1.5 to 18 (w/w). The presence of zinc ions in the cellulose gels enhanced the rate of hydrolysis and glucose yield. The evidence obtained from X-ray diffraction, iodine absorption experiments; and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectra analysis suggested the presence of zinc-cellulose complex after Avicel was treated with zinc chloride. Zinc-cellulose complex was more susceptible to hydrolysis than amorphous cellulose. Under the experimental condition, cellulose gels with zinc ions were hyrolyzed to glucose with 95% theoretical yield and a concentration of 14% (w/v) by cellulases within 20 h. The same gel was hydrolyzed by acid to glucose with 91.5% yield and a concentration of 13.4% (w/v).
