Dirhodium(II)-catalyzed carbonyl ylide generation. Stereoelectronic control in dioxolane formation

The combination of ethyl diazoacetate with aryl aldehydes in the presence of copper(I) or rhodium(II) catalysts results in the formation of 1,3-dioxolane products in moderate to good yields. These reactions occur through a pathway that involves ylide intermediates. Catalyst-dependent diastereocontrol is observed and suggests that metal-associated ylides are involved in the product-determining step. The influence of aryl aldehyde substituents has been determined. Current address. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 961–965, May, 1998.     

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of the Zn(II) Complex with Norfloxacin in Static Air Atmosphere

The thermal decomposition of Zn[NFA]₂5H₂O (NFA=C₁₆H₁₈FN₃O₃, norfloxacin) and its kinetics were studied under non-isothermal conditions in air by TG-DTG and DTA methods. The intermediate and residue for each decomposition were identified from the TG curve. The non-isothermal kinetic data were analyzed by means of the Achar method and the Madhusudanan-Krishnan-Ninan (MKN) method. The possible reaction mechanisms were investigated by comparing the kinetic parameters. The kinetic equation for the second stage can be expressed as d/dt=Aexp(–E/RT)(1–).This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Cationic complexes of Eu(III) and Sr(II) with diphosphine dioxides in organic extracts

IR spectroscopy was used to study the structure and composition of Eu(III) and Sr(II) complexes formed by cation-exchange extraction of these metals from their aqueous nitrate solutions with dichlorethane solutions of mixtures of chlorinated cobalt(III) dicarbollide (CCD) as a superacid with diphenyldiphosphine dioxides containing a methyl (Me-DPDO), ethyl (Et-DPDO), or polyoxyethylene bridge between two phosphorus atoms of phosphine oxide groups. At molar ratios DPDO/CCD ≤ 1, [Eu(H₂O)_nL₄]³⁺ complexes are formed in organic phases, whereas with an excess of DPDO relative to CCD, Eu(NO₃)L ₄ ²⁺ complexes are formed, where L = Me-or Et-DPDO. Polyoxyethylenediphosphine dioxide forms anhydrous complexes of composition Eu:L = 1:1 and 1:2 with Eu(III) and outer-spheric complexes of composition Sr:L = 1:1 and 1:2 with Sr(II), where the organic ligand molecules envelop the hydrated Sr(H₂O) _n ²⁺ cation. The peculiarities of extraction of the complexes are explained based on data about their composition and structure.

Ferromagnetically coupled heterobinuclear Cu(Ⅱ)-Ln(Ⅲ) complexes with N,N''''-bis(2-aminoethyl)-oxamido dianion as a bridged ligand

Six novel μ-oxamido heterobinuclear complexes, namely Cu(oxae)Ln(Me2bpy)2-(ClO4)3 (Ln=La, Nd, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er), where oxae denotes N, N'-bis(2-aminoethyl)oxamido dian-ion, Me2bpy is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridyl, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, conductivity measurements and electronic spectra. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Cu(oxae)Gd(Me2bpy)2(ClO4)3 has been meaured over the range 4-300 K. The least-squares fit of the experimental susceptibilities yielded J - 1.87 cm-1.The observed Gd(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) coupling is ferromagnetic. One plausible mechanism that can cause a ferromagnetic coupling between Gd(Ⅲ) and Cu(Ⅱ) is discussed in terms of spin-polarization.

Fluorescence quenching of anthropogenic fulvic acids by Cu(II), Fe(III) and UO(2)(2+)

The quenching of the fluorescence of three anthropogenic fulvic acids (FA) provoked by Cu(II) (pH 6.0), Fe(III) (pH 4.0) and UO₂²⁺ (pH 3.5), was analyzed by a non-linear method and by Stern-Volmer plots. The FA samples were extracted from composted sewage sludges (csFA), composted municipal wastes (mwFA) and composted livestock wastes (lsFA). Synchronous-scan fluorescence (SyF) spectra were collected as a function of metal ion concentration. Spectral data were treated by a self-modeling mixture analysis method (SIMPLISMA) to detect the SyF spectral band with the strongest quenching and to calculate the corresponding quenching profile. The analysis of these profiles by a non-linear method allowed the estimation of conditional stability constants (K) and of the percentage of non-complexing fluorophores. The same quantitative information was obtained by the modified Stern-Volmer equation taking into account the existence of fluorophores that do not participate in the complexation. Good agreement was found between the results of the two procedures. The log K calculated by the non-linear method were (standard deviation in parenthesis): csFA, Cu(II), 4.22 (5); Fe(III), 5.0 (1); UO₂²⁺, 5.2 (2); mwFA, Cu(II), 4.21 (3); Fe(III), 5.6 (2); UO₂²⁺, 4.7 (3); lsFA, Cu(II), 4.51 (8); Fe(III), 5.5 (2); UO₂²⁺, 3.6 (2).     

Conversions between ordered and disordered cellulose. Effects of mechanical treatment followed by cyclic wetting and drying

An investigation into the effects of mechanical treatment and hydration on the order of cellulose substrates (microcrystalline cellulose and Cladophora cellulose) was performed by the use of ball milling followed by cyclic wetting and drying. The results, monitored by¹³C-CP/MAS NMR-spectroscopy, were evaluated by calculation of the crystallinity indices and principal component analysis of the NMR data acquired. The results showed that a large part of the disorder induced by the mechanical treatment of cellulose by ball milling is reversible and reordering upon hydration leads to the cellulose I form initially present. The C4 signals corresponding to the reversibly disordered cellulose chains are observed in the amorphous region between 79 and 86 ppm in the¹³C-CP/MAS NMR-spectra together with signals from cellulose chains on the surface of ordered regions. The peak cluster which contains the C2, C3 and C5 ring carbons can be divided into two specific spectral regions; one between 74 and 77 ppm largely originates from ring carbons within disordered cellulose structures, and one between 70 and 74 ppm contains larger contributions from ordered cellulose. The behaviour of the celluloses upon milling is in accordance with a concept of ordered cellulose fibrils containing amorphous cellulose mainly as surface layers and induced reversible lattice distortions.
