Ligandcis-4,4′-dinitrodibenzo-18-crown-6 and its complexes were identified by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis (TG and DTA).

An NMR study of the rotational barriers in cobalt-stabilized carbocations: X-ray crystal structures of (η-C4Ph4)Co-(η-C5H4R), where R is CH3CO, CHO, CH(Bu)OH

Treatment of the aldehyde (η⁴-C₄Ph₄)Co(η⁵-C₅H₄-CHO) (4b) with tert-butyllithium or phenyllithium yields the secondary alcohols (η⁴-C₄Ph₄)Co(η⁵-C₅H₄-CH(R)OH), where R=tert-butyl (5) or phenyl (6). Protonation of 5 and 6 at −80 °C furnishes the deep purple, cobalt-stabilized cations, 7 and 8, respectively, both of which exhibit restricted rotation about the external C₅H₄-CHR⁺ linkage on the NMR time-scale. These data indicate a minimum value for the barrier to rotation of 15 kcal mol⁻¹, but it is certainly much higher, indicating a considerable degree of C-C double bond character. X-ray crystal structures of 4b, 5 and also of the ketone (η⁴-C₄Ph₄)Co(η⁵-C₅H₄-C(O)CH₃ (4a) are reported. The secondary alcohol 5 exhibits disorder in the solid state because of the presence of diastereomers as a consequence of the stereogenic center at the α-carbon and the clockwise or anticlockwise propeller orientations of the tetraphenylcyclobutadiene ligand.     

Studies on some oxovanadium(IV) complexes of acyl pyrazolone analogues

A series of novel bidentate pyrazolone based Schiff base ligands were synthesized by interaction of 4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-(4′-methylphenyl)-2-pyrazolin-5-one with various aromatic amines like aniline, o-,m-,p-chloroaniline and o-,m-,p-toluidine in a ethanolic medium. All of these ligands have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR and ¹H NMR data. The molecular geometries of five of these ligands have been determined by single crystal X-ray study. Crystallographic study reveals that these ligands exist in the amine-one tautomeric form in the solid state. NMR study also suggests the existence of the amine-one form in solution at room temperature. Ab initio calculations for representative ligand HL¹ has been carried out to know the coordination site of the ligand. Novel vanadium Schiff base complexes of these ligands with general formula [OV(L^1–7)₂(H₂O)] have been prepared by interaction of aqueous solution of vanadyl sulfate pentahydrate with DMF solution of the appropriate ligands. The resulting complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, vanadium determination, molar conductance and magnetic measurements, thermo gravimetric analysis, infrared and electronic spectral studies. Suitable distorted octahedral structures have been proposed for these complexes.     

trans-Bis-[(−)ephedrinate]-palladium complex: synthesis, molecular modeling and use as catalyst

The reaction between palladium acetate, (−)-ephedrine and potassium acetate led to bis-chelate complex Pd[OCH(Ph)NH(Me)]₂ whose the trans-structure is obtained from calculations. The use of this complex to catalyze either the 1,4-hydrogenation of (E)-2-benzyliden-1-tetralone or Heck reaction of phenyl iodide with 3-methyl-3-buten-2-ol led to a low enantiomeric excess.     

Cation influence on the structure and electron density of water in some Men+·H2O complexes

The cation influence on the water molecule in the Li⁺·H₂O, Be²⁺·H₂O, Mg²⁺·H₂O and A1³⁺·H₂O complexes has been studied by means of quantum-mechanical ab initio calculations. A number of general trends are noted. (1) The calculated equilibrium water O-H distances increase with increasing binding energies, i.e. in the order Li⁺, Mg²⁺, Be²⁺, Al³⁺. The H-O-H angles differ by about ±1 ° from the calculated equilibrium angle for the free H₂O molecule; the variation has no systematic trend. (2) The electron density redistribution accompanying the change in the internal H₂O geometry in these complexes is considerably smaller than the redistribution brought about by the direct influence of the external field. (3) The harmonic O-H stretching force constant decreases with increased cation-water bonding. (4) The qualitative features of the density changes are very similar for the four complexes. The magnitudes of the interactions follow the relation Li⁺ < Mg²⁺ < Be²⁺ Al³⁺. An increased polarization of the H₂O molecule occurs with electron migration from the H atoms towards the O atom and an accumulation of electron charge approximately at the centre of the Meⁿ⁺—O bond, especially in Be²⁺·H₂O and A1³⁺·H₂O. An electron deficiency is found in the lone-pair region.     

Physicochemical properties of π-π complexes of zinctetraphenylporphyrin with aromatic molecules

Features of the solvation of zinctetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) in benzene, toluene,ortho-, meta-, andpara-xylenes were studied by a thermogravimetric method. The temperature ranges of the stability and the compositions of the corresponding specific - complexes were determined from the results of the thermogravimetric investigation of the crystallosolvates of the metalloporphyrin with the solvent molecules, and the energy characteristics of the intermolecular metalloporphyrin—solvent interactions were calculated.Institute of the Chemistry of Nonaqueous Solutions, Russian Academy of Sciences, 153018 Ivanovo.

Synthesis,Thermal Isomerization in Solution and in Solid Phase of the Complexes [Pt(RCN)2Cl2]

The interaction of the clathrate Pt₆Cl₁₂ · 0.1 EtCl · 5.7H₂O with RCN nitriles results in cis-[Pt(PhCH₂CN)₂Cl₂] and in [Pt(RCN)₂Cl₂] (R = CH₂CO₂Et, Ph) complexes as a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers which separated and characterized. Cis-[Pt(MeCN)₂Cl₂] has been synthesized using a well known technique of K₂[PtCl₄] interaction with acetonitrile in water. Heating cis-[Pt(RCN)₂Cl₂] (R = Me, CH₂Ph, CH₂CO₂Et) in the solid phase leads to cis-trans isomerization. In case of cis-[Pt(PhCN)₂Cl₂] thermal conversion results in trans-[Pt(PhCN)₂Cl₂] but the process of geometrical isomerizations accompained by a considerable decomposition of starting material and/or final products. Boiling of cis-[Pt(PhCH₂CN₂)Cl₂] in mixture of EtNO₂? PhCH₂CN or cis-[Pt(EtCO₂CH₂CN)₂Cl₂] in MeNO₂ or EtNO₂ solutions results in complete cis-trans conversion. Similarily heating of cis-[Pt(RCN)₂Cl₂] (R = Me, Ph) in solution produces an equilibrium mixture of cis- and transisomers.     

Dinuclear Cobalt(III) Complexes Showing a Co2O2 Metallacycle

The heptadentate Schiff base H₃L reacts with cobalt(II) acetate in methanol to form the discrete dinuclear complex Co₂L(OAc)₂(OMe)(H₂O)₂ ( 1 ·2H₂O). The reaction of 1 ·2H₂O with NMe₄OH·5H₂O in methanol gives rise to displacement of the acetate by methanolate groups, yielding Co₂L(OMe)₃(H₂O) ( 2 ·1H₂O). Recrystallizations of the Schiff base, 1 ·2H₂O and 2 ·H₂O in different solvents, produce single crystals of H₃L, 1 ·2.5H₂O and 2 ·2MeOH, respectively. The crystal structures of 1 ·2.5H₂O and 2 ·2MeOH show the cobalt atoms double bridged by and endogenous phenol oxygen atom and an exogenous methanolate oxygen donor, giving rise to Co₂O₂ cores with Co···Co distances of ca. 2.87 Å.
