Palladium-catalyzed Coupling between Aryl Halides and Trimethylsilylacetylene Assisted by Dimethylaminotrimethyltin

Palladium‐catalyzed coupling between aryl halides, especially less reactive ones or N‐heteroaryls, and trimethylsilylacetylene in the presence of dimethylaminotrimethyltin generated the coupled products in high yields. The reaction does not need CuI and base as auxiliary agents.     

Tin(II) Halide Insertion or Halogen Exchange in the Reactions of Dihaloplatinum(II) Complexes with Tin(II) Halide

Reactions of SnCl₂ with the complexes cis‐[PtCl₂(P₂)] (P₂=dppf (1,1′‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene), dppp (1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane=1,1′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)bis[1,1‐diphenylphosphine]), dppb (1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphino)butane=1,1′‐(butane‐1,4‐diyl)bis[1,1‐diphenylphosphine]), and dpppe (1,5‐bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane=1,1′‐(pentane‐1,5‐diyl)bis[1,1‐diphenylphosphine])) resulted in the insertion of SnCl₂ into the Pt? Cl bond to afford the cis‐[PtCl(SnCl₃)(P₂)] complexes. However, the reaction of the complexes cis‐[PtCl₂(P₂)] (P₂=dppf, dppm (bis(diphenylphosphino)methane=1,1′‐methylenebis[1,1‐diphenylphosphine]), dppe (1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane=1,1′‐(ethane‐1,2‐diyl)bis[1,1‐diphenylphosphine]), dppp, dppb, and dpppe; P=Ph₃P and (MeO)₃P) with SnX₂ (X=Br or I) resulted in the halogen exchange to yield the complexes [PtX₂(P₂)]. In contrast, treatment of cis‐[PtBr₂(dppm)] with SnBr₂ resulted in the insertion of SnBr₂ into the Pt? Br bond to form cis‐[Pt(SnBr₃)₂(dppm)], and this product was in equilibrium with the starting complex cis‐[PtBr₂(dppm)]. Moreover, the reaction of cis‐[PtCl₂(dppb)] with a mixture SnCl₂/SnI₂ in a 2 : 1 mol ratio resulted in the formation of cis‐[PtI₂(dppb)] as a consequence of the selective halogen‐exchange reaction. ³¹P‐NMR Data for all complexes are reported, and a correlation between the chemical shifts and the coupling constants was established for mono‐ and bis(trichlorostannyl)platinum complexes. The effect of the alkane chain length of the ligand and Sn^II halide is described.     

Fourier Transform Infrared and Raman Spectra of Metal Halide Complexes of 3,5-Lutedine in Relation to Their Structures

Abstract

Fourier transform infrared (4000-200 cm¹) and Raman (3500-50 cm^?1) spectra are reported for metal(II) halide 3,5-lutidine (3,5-dimethylpyridine) complexes of the following stoichiometries: M(3,5L)₄X₂ M=Co or Ni, X=C1 or Br; M=Mn or Cu, X=Br; M=Cd, X=I; M(3,5L)₃X₂ M=Fe, X=C1; M=Cu, X=Br; Hg(3,5L) X₂ X=C1 or Br.

Vibrational assignments are given for all the observed bands. Some structure- spectra correlations are found. For a given series of isomorphous complexes the sum of the difference between the liquid and ligand values of the vibrational modes of 3,5-lutidine is found to increase in the order of the second ionization potentials of the metals. The frequency shifts are also found to depend on the halogen.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Antibacterial Activity of RE(III) Complexes with L-Isoleucine and 1,10-Phenanthroline

Six new ternary rare-earth (La, Eu, Sm, Nd, Y, Yb) complexes with L-isoleucine and 1,10-phenanthroline have been synthesized. Their compositions were characterized as RE(Ile)₃PhenCl₃ · 4H₂O (RE = La, Eu, Sm, Nd, Y, Yb; Ile = L-isoleucine; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) by elemental analysis, EDTA titration, molar conductance measurement, UV spectra, FT-IR spectra, and TG-DTA. The average diameters of growth inhibition area and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the complexes were studied by disc diffusion method and dilution method in nutrient broth. The results showed that the ternary rare-earth complexes strongly exhibited the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and that their antibacterial effects were better than those of rare-earth chlorides, L-isoleucine, and 1,10-phenanthroline.     

Pressure evolution of two polymorphs of Tb 2(MoO 4)3

We have studied the high pressure behavior of the α and β^′-phases of Tb ₂(MoO ₄)₃ using a combination of powder X-ray diffraction and ab initio calculations. The α-Tb ₂(MoO ₄)₃ phase did not undergo any structural phase transition in the pressure range from 0 up to the maximum experimental pressure of 21 GPa. We observed line broadening of the diffraction patterns at pressures above 7 GPa, which may be due to non-hydrostatic conditions. The complete amorphization of the sample was not reached in the pressure range studied, as expected from previous Raman studies. The behavior under pressure of the β^′-Tb ₂(MoO ₄)₃ phase is similar to that of other rare-earths trimolybdates with the same structure at room temperature. A phase transition was observed at 2 GPa. The new phase, which can be identified as the δ-phase, has never been completely characterized by diffraction studies. A tentative indexation has been performed and good refined cell parameters were obtained. We detect indications of amorphization of the δ-Tb ₂(MoO ₄)₃ phase at 5 GPa.     

Living cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers by electrophile/lewis acid initiating systems. XII. Phosphoric and phosphinic acids/zinc chloride initiating systems for isobutyl vinyl ether

Phosphoric and phosphinic acid derivatives (R¹R²PO₂H; R¹, R² = OPh, OPh; OnBu, OnBu; Ph, Ph; Ph, H) in conjunction with zinc chloride (ZnCl₂) led to living cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) in toluene below 0°C. The number-average molecular weights (M?_n) of the polymers (M?_n > 2 × 10⁴) were directly proportional to monomer conversion and in excellent agreement with the calculated values assuming that one polymer chain forms per R¹R²PO₂H molecule. Throughout the reaction, the molecular weight distributions (MWDs) stayed narrow (M?_w/M?_n ? 1.1). A dibasic acid, PhOP (O) (OH)₂, coupled with ZnCl₂, also induced living cationic polymerization of IBVE where one molecule of the acid generated two living polymer chains. The polymerization by (PhO)₂PO₂H/ZnCl₂ and its model reactions were directly analyzed by ³¹P and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The analysis showed that the acid initially forms the adduct [CH₃CH(OiBu)OP(O)(OPh)₂], the phosphate linkage of which is in turn activated by ZnCl₂ so as to initiate living propagation. The finding thus indicates that (PhO)₂PO₂H indeed acts as an initiator in the living polymerization. The NMR analysis also suggested that an exchange reaction occurs between the phosphate group at the polymer terminal and the chlorine in ZnCl₂. The occurrence of living IBVE polymerization with these various R¹R²PO₂H/ZnCl₂ systems shows that phosphoric and phosphinic acids are another general class of protonic acids which are effective initiators for the living cationic polymerization assisted by Lewis acids. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Investigation of luminescence and photoelectrochemical properties of rare-earth metal-doped anode oxide films on aluminum

A study is made of the luminescence of rare-earth-metal (REM)-doped anode oxide films (AOF) grown on aluminu. It is shown that REMs introduced into an AOF in the course of its formation exert a considerable influence on the position of the maximum half-width and the intensity of the luminescence spectrum of the matrix, i.e., Al₂O₃. Photoelectrochemical properties of AOF (Eu) are investigated. A dependence of the AOF photopotential on the conditions of its formation is shown.
