Synthesis, properties, and structure of dimethylgold(III) complexes [(CH3)2AuI]2 and (CH3)2AuS2CN(C2H5)2

Volatile diethyldithiocarbamate of dimethylgold(III) was prepared by the interaction of dimethylgold(III) iodide with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. The complex is examined by the elemental analysis, DTA, IR and electronic spectroscopy. The starting dimeric complex [(CH₃)₂AuI]₂ and a novel monomeric volatile gold(III) complex (CH₃)₂AuS₂CN(C₂H₅)₂ with the AuC₂S₂ coordination core were investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction for the first time.     

Ab Initio Study and Its Comparison with X-ray Crystal Structure of 4-[1-(4-Chloro-phenylamino)-ethyl] 5-methyl-2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-tolyl-2,4-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one

The ab initio calculation of the title compound was carried out at HF as well as DFT level of theory. The full geometry optimization of the ligand was carried out using 6-31G(d) basis set. The results obtained were correlated with the single crystal X-ray data, also reported in this paper, shows close resemblance between these two. The influence of electron correlation effects also was studied by carrying out geometry optimization at the MP2 level. The attempts were also made to ascertain the most stable tautomer of the said compound.     

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN X—H STRETCHING OVERTONE FREQUENCIES AND BOND LENGTHS/BOND ANGLES

A relationship between the X-H (X = N, O, C, and so on) equilibrium bond length in a Morse oscillator and the X-H stretching overtone frequency shifts is obtained theoretically. We use the equation to discuss the empirical linear relationships that have been proposed for heterocyclics, alkanes and fluorinated benzenes. On the other hand, a unified relationship between the X-H bond angles and the experimental quantities (ω(?) and the coupling strength λ) is also presented for XH2, XH, and XH4 molecules or molecular fragments. Calculations of X-H bond angles for a number of molecules show that the results from our equations are in excellent agreement with the experimental values. Also we can extract the information of relative magnitude of bond coupling force field.     

Electronic Structure, Aromaticity, and Physicochemical Characteristics of Carbene, Radical, and Ionic Forms of Compounds of the Imidazole Series, and their Oxo and Thio Analogs

The effects of benzannellation, phenyl substitution at the nitrogen atom, protonation at the carbene carbon, ionization, and the state of the carbene center (² or ²) on the electronic structure, diamagnetic susceptibility, induced -electron ring currents, the ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N chemical shifts, and the energies of the lowest electronic transitions of imidazol-2-ylidenes and their oxo and thio analogs were examined in the bound version of -electron perturbation theory. The calculated and experimental data are compared.     

Assessing the non-specific hydroxyl radical scavenging properties of melanoidins in a Fenton-type reaction system

Soluble high molecular weight fraction (>10 kDa, named melanoidins) was isolated from Maillard reaction model systems, coffee, beer and sweet wine by ultrafiltration. Deoxyribose method was adjusted for measuring the hydroxyl radical scavenging properties of melanoidins. The presence of competitive melanoidins with deoxyribose for OH decrease the rate of deoxyribose degradation. Possible interferences to the deoxyribose method have been evaluated. Most of isolated melanoidins exhibited a variable and measurable non-site-specific hydroxyl scavenging activity in a Fenton-type reaction system. The iron reducing properties of melanoidins at the reaction conditions were evaluated with ferrozine. It has established a kinetic approach to assess the second rate constants of hydroxyl radical scavenging reactions of melanoidins. This approach may be a valuable tool for addressing the structure-activity relationships of melanoidins in a future. There is no correlation between browning (absorbance at 420 nm) and efficiency for scavenging hydroxyl radicals in solution.     

Synthesis and reactivity of thieno[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridine-2,3-diamines

It has been established that the interaction of N¹-(2-hydroxyphenylmethylthieno[2,3-b]pyrid-3-yl)arylamides with hydrazine hydrate leads to thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2,3-diamines. It was shown that the reaction of the latter with acetylacetone and acetoacetic ester occurs regioselectively at the amino group in position 3 of the thiophene ring. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1400–1408, September, 2007.     

Organoruthenaborane Chemistry. X. The SM2-catalysed formation of [ l-(η6-C6Me6)-isocloso-RuB9H9], and some B-phenylamino derivatives. NMR and X-ray diffraction studies

The action of SMe₂ on the ten-vertex nido-ruthenaborane [6-(η⁶-C₆Me₆)RuB₉H_l3] ( 1 ) provides a high-yield route to the unsubstituted isocloso-ruthenaborane [1-(η⁶-C₆Me₆)RuB₉H₉] (2). The benzene analogue [1-(η⁶-C₆Me₆)RuB₉H₉] is prepared similarly. By contrast, reaction of (1) with PhNH₂ gives a variety of B-phenylamino isocloso derivatives, including orange crystals of [1-(η⁶-C₆Me₆)-2-(PhNH)-isocloso-1-RuB 9 H₈] ( 3 ), red-orange [1-(η⁶-C₆Me₆)-2,3-(PhNH)₂-isocloso-1-RuB₉H₇] ( 4 ) and dark-red [1-(η⁶-C₆Me₆)-5,6,7-(PhNH)₃-isocloso-1-RuB₉H₆] ( 5 ). Detailed ¹H and ¹¹B nmr properties of these various compounds are described. The structure of ( 3 ) has been established by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of the solvate [1-(η⁶-C₆Me₆)-2-(PhNH)-isocloso-1-RuB₉H₈] · 1/2 CH₂Cl₂; the crystals were monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 1895.1(3), b = 1556.6(3), c = 1716.4(3) pm, β = 104.37(1)° and z = 8.     

Observations on the swelling characteristics of the zwitterionic hydrogel of poly(1-3-sulfopropyl)-2-vinyl-pyridinium-betaine hydrogel

Samples of poly[1-(3-sulfopropyl)-2-vinyl-pyridinium-betaine] (PSPV) have been synthesized to high conversion by free radical polymerization in aqueous solution of the zwitterionic monomer SPV with several concentrations of the crosslinker N,N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA). The densities of the resultant xerogels increased regularly with the content of MBA. Hydrogels obtained by swelling them in water and aqueous KSCN solution were examined by gravimetric and dimensional analysis. The water contents increased with decreasing content of MBA, the value of 92.7 wt% at the lowest MBA content being higher than that for other zwitterionic hydrogels. Enhanced swelling occurred in 1 M aq. KSCN at each MBA content, the total swelling being 98.1 wt% at the lowest crosslinker content. Swelling increased with increasing temperature. An approximate procedure to formulating swelling equilibrium in term of the volume fraction of water in hydrogel, in conjunction with the van’t Hoff equation, yields a small positive value for the enthalpy of swelling. This is compared with values derived similarly for other hydrogels.     

Supramolecular framework adducts constructed of hexamethylenetetramine,aquated alkali metal cationic clusters,and hexacyanoferrates(II/III)

The reaction of alkali metal hexacyanoferrate(II/III) with (CH₂)₆N₄ (hexamethylenetetramine, abbreviated HMT) in an acidic medium yielded crystalline compounds of stoichiometries HK₂[Fe¹¹¹(CN)₆]·2HMT·4H₂O, H₂K₂[Fe¹¹(CN)₆]·2HMT·4H₂O, and HNa₂[Fe¹¹¹(CN)₆]· 2HMT·5H₂O. Their crystal structures are based on a packing of three molecular components: neutral and/orprotonated HMT, hexacyanoferrate, and an alkali metal ion-water cluster. The resulting three-dimensional supramolecular framework is constructed from the coordination of the alkali metal ion by aqua ligands as well as [Fe(CN)₆]{n–} and HMT units, and further stabilization is achieved by hydrogen bonding between water molecules and the noncoordinated nitrogen atoms of HMT and hexacyanoferrate.
