The reactions of Ir(CO)Cl(PPh3)2 with HSnPh3

A reinvestigation of the reaction of Ir(CO)Cl(PPh₃)₂, 1 with HSnPh₃ has revealed that the oxidative-addition product Ir(CO)Cl(PPh₃)₂(H)(SnPh₃), 2 has the H and SnPh₃ ligands in cis-related coordination sites. Compound 2 reacts with a second equivalent of HSnPh₃ by a Cl for H ligand exchange to yield the new compound H₂Ir(CO)(SnPh₃)(PPh₃)₂, 3. Compound 3 contains two cis- related hydride ligands. Under an atmosphere of CO, 1 reacts with HSnPh₃ to replace the Cl ligand with SnPh₃ and one of the PPh₃ ligands with a CO ligand and also adds a second equivalent of CO to yield the 5-coordinate complex Ir(CO)₃(SnPh₃)(PPh₃), 4. Compound 4 reacts with HSnPh₃ by loss of CO and oxidative addition of the Sn-H bond to yield the 6-coordinate complex HIr(CO)₂(SnPh₃)₂(PPh₃), 5 that contains two trans-positioned SnPh₃ ligands.     

Preparation and photocatalytic activity of Sb2S3/Bi2S3 doped TiO2 from complex precursor via gel-hydrothermal treatment

Sb₂S₃/Bi₂S₃ doped TiO₂ were prepared with the coordination compounds [M(S₂CNEt)₃] (M=Sb, Bi; S₂CNEt=pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) as precursors via gel-hydrothermal techniques. The doped TiO₂ were characterized by XRD, SEM, XPS and UV-vis diffuse reflectance means. The photocatalyst based on doped TiO₂ for photodecolorization of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) was examined. The optimal Bi₂S₃/Sb₂S₃ content, pH and different doped techniques have been investigated. Photocatalytic tests reveal that M₂S₃ doped TiO₂ via the gel-hydrothermal route performs better photocatalytic activity for photodegradation reaction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP).     

Di-n-butyltin(IV)-catalyzed dimethyl carbonate synthesis from carbon dioxide and methanol: An in situ high pressure Sn{H} NMR spectroscopic study

The reactivity of five di-n-butyltin(IV) complexes, n-Bu₂Sn(OR)₂ (1), n-Bu₂SnO (3), [n-Bu₂Sn(OR)]₂O (4), (n-Bu₂SnO)₂(CO₂) (6) and (n-Bu₂SnO)₆[(n-Bu₂SnOR)₂(CO₃)]₂ (7) (R = CH₃), with CO₂, suggested as possible catalyst precursors and key-intermediates for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from carbon dioxide and methanol, has been investigated using high-pressure ¹¹⁹Sn{¹H} NMR (HP-NMR) spectroscopy. Four of the five precursors studied, i.e. 3, 4, 6 and 7 give rise to an identical ¹¹⁹Sn{¹H} NMR pattern which can be explicitly attributed to the fingerprint of the dimeric form of the 1-methoxy-3-methylcarbonatotetrabutyldistannoxane {5}₂. However, with 1, a new pair of signals is observed in addition to the characteristic ¹¹⁹Sn{¹H} NMR resonances of the dimeric hemicarbonato species {2}₂ and {5}₂, which can be attributed to the in situ formation of an unprecedented species suggested to be the trinuclear carbonato di-n-butyltin(IV) complex, 8.     

NdHO, a novel oxyhydride

A new metal oxyhydride; neodymium oxyhydride, NdHO, has been synthesized from a reactant mixture of metal hydride (CaH₂ or NdH₃) and neodymium oxide (Nd₂O₃). The unit cell dimensions decrease smoothly in the series from LaHO, CeHO, PrHO to NdHO, in line with the lanthanide contraction. The crystal structure of NdHO is described on the basis of Rietveld refinement on neutron powder diffraction data:

Space group: P4/nmm (no. 129, D_4h⁷).

Axis lengths: a=7.8480(5) Å, c=5.5601(8) Å.

Volume: V=342.46(6) Å³.

The tetragonal structure is derived from the fluorite structure, showing complete ordering of hydride and oxide ions over the anion sublatttice. The formation of NdHO was further substantiated by Raman spectroscopy.     

Transesterification catalyzed by iron(III) β-diketonate species

A practical and clean protocol for transesterification catalyzed by a 5 mol % cheap, non-toxic and moisture stable Fe(acac)₃ or other iron(III) β-diketonate species in solvent, such as heptane under azeotropic condition is developed. A remarkable rate enhancement was observed upon the addition of 5 mol % of an inorganic base, such as Na₂CO₃, which suggests that faster formation of a dimeric μ-alkoxy-bridged iron(III) species under alkaline conditions facilitates catalytic turnover. This system provides smooth transesterification over a wide range of structurally diverse esters and alcohols without disturbing functional groups. In addition, the use of iron β-diketonate complexes as catalysts is more environmentally friendly, safer, and economical than other transition-metal catalysts. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that the active catalyst is likely a dimeric μ-alkoxy-bridged iron(III) species, as determined by X-ray crystallography of [Fe(dbm)₂(O-n-Bu)]₂ derived from the alcoholysis of Fe(dbm)₃ under alkaline conditions.     

吡啶型氮快速热解中HCN和NH3生成机理研究

考虑煤中吡啶六元环与其他杂环的结合形式,对四种典型的吡啶型氮杂环结构及其热解中间产物中各键的Mayer键级进行了计算。通过对比Mayer键级的大小判断热解时最易发生断裂的键,进而对吡啶型氮热解时氮的逸出机理进行了分析。计算结果表明,吡啶型氮热解产生的含氮污染物主要是HCN;由于吡啶环与其他环结合方式的不同,氮的逸出过程也有差异。利用高频炉快速热解装置对吡啶和吖啶两种模型化合物进行了快速热解实验以验证计算结果。结果表明,吡啶和吖啶热解时虽有少量NH₃生成,但含氮污染物仍以HCN为主,实验结果可为计算所得的结论提供一定支持。

Metamagnetic phase transition in a diruthenium compound with interpenetrating sublattices

The diruthenium compound [Ru₂(O₂CMe)₄]₃[Cr(CN)₆] may be the only known material that contains two weakly-coupled, magnetically-ordered sublattices occupying the same three-dimensional volume. Due to the strong easy-plane anisotropy on each Ru₂ complex, the moment of each sublattice is constrained to one of the eight cubic diagonals. At low fields, the two sublattices are antiferromagnetically aligned by weak dipolar and deformation energies. But above a metamagnetic critical field of about 1000 Oe, the sublattice moments become ferromagnetically aligned and the net magnetization increases dramatically. We have successfully modeled this metamagnetic transition by assuming that the individual sublattice spin configurations are only weakly distorted by the magnetic field. This model suggests that the ground state of each sublattice undergoes a phase transition at a pressure of about 7 kbar. The drop in the sublattice moment and the rise in the sublattice susceptibility above 7 kbar can be explained by a high- to low-spin transition (S = 3/2 to 1/2) on the mixed-valent diruthenium complexes.
