Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of six [TeL4][MF6] salts, where L is ethylene- or trimethylene-thiourea, and M is Si, Ge or Sn. Five Te(II) complexes with a novel type of structure linked together by unusual N–HF hydrogen bonds

The complexes [Te(etu)₄][SiF₆] (1), [Te(etu)₄][SiF₆] · H₂O (2), [Te(trtu)₄][SiF₆] (3), [Te(etu)₄][GeF₆] · H₂O (4), [Te(trtu)₄][GeF₆] (5) and [Te(etu)₄][SnF₆] (6) (etu = ethylenethiourea, trtu = trimethylenethiourea) have been prepared and their crystal structures determined by X-ray crystallographic methods. The crystals of 1, 3 and 5 are tetragonal; space groups P4cc (No. 103) with Z = 4 for 1, P4nc (No. 104) with Z = 2 for 3, and I4 (No. 79) with Z = 2 for 5. The crystals of 2, 4 and 6 are orthorhombic, space group Pccn (No. 56) with Z = 8 for 2 and 4 and Z = 4 for 6; those of 2 and 4 being isomorphous. The cations contain square planar or slightly distorted square planar TeS₄ coordination groups. In 1, 3 and 5 the Te atoms are located on fourfold rotation axes; the cations have fourfold rotational symmetry and the four thiourea ligands extend to the same side of the TeS₄ plane. These are the first examples of [TeL₄]²⁺ conformers of this type. In 2 and 4 the Te atoms lie on general positions; the cations are distorted versions of those in 1, and also in these the four ligands extend to the same side of the TeS₄ plane. In 6 the Te atoms are located on twofold rotation axes, the conformation of the cations corresponds to the point group C₂ with two neighbouring ligands extending to one side of the coordination plane and the remaining two to the opposite side. In 1–5 each of the four ligands forms a N–HF bond to the same F atom in the counter ion. The crystals of 1–5 are red, and those of 6 are yellow. The red colour is attributed to interactions of Te and S lone electron pairs caused by ligand TeS₄/TeSC tilt angles markedly different from 90°.     

Dynamic Interfacial Tension Behavior of Water/Oil Systems Containing In situ-Formed Surfactants

Time-dependent interfacial tension (IFT) has been investigated for an interfacially reactive immiscible system composed of model-acidified oil and alkaline water. The acidified oil was composed of either lauric acid or linoleic acid dissolved in n-dodecane. Drop volume tensiometry was employed to measure the interfacial tension between the two phases. In the case of lauric acid, the IFT value was found to decrease sharply with increasing alkali concentration, even at low drop formation times. In the case of linoleic acid, the IFT decrease with the drop formation time was more gradual, especially at low alkali concentration. The rate of formation of the interfacial area was also found to be dependent on alkali concentration.     

具有生物活性的N-(1-二茂铁亚乙基氨基)-N''-β-D-吡喃糖基硫脲的合成与表征

Several novel N′-[（1-ferrocenylethylidene）amino]-N′-β-D-glycopyranosylthioureas have been efficiently synthesized via a six-step procedure, utilizing three monosaccharides （D-glucose, D-galactose and D-xylose） as starting materials, respectively. They have been preliminarily determined to display biological activity against certain fungi. The target compounds have been unambiguously characterized by spectroscopic method and elemental analysis. An initially alternative synthetic route, which was seemingly reasonable, has been excluded due to its inefficiency.

Synthesis of Thiourea Derivatives on Soluble Polymeric Support

A modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has been developed as the soluble polymeric supports for liquid phase synthesis of novel thiourea derivatives.In each step of the sequence,the PEG-bound products were precipitated in cold Et2O and the unreacted materials and by-products were removed by simple filtration.The progress of reaction,purity of the isolation and the structure of the PEG-bound products were easily monitored by TLC,IR and ^1H NMR spectra.Representative thiourea derivatives were obtained in moderate yields with excellent purity from this modified PEG-bound product by the cleavage with 50% TFA/H2O.     

Addition of nitriles to alkaline earth metal complexes of 1,2-bis[(phenyl)imino]acenaphthenes

Compounds [Sr(dpp-bian)(thf)4] (2), [Ba(dpp-bian)(dme)2.5] (3) and [Mg(dtb-bian)(thf)2] (4) (dpp-bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene; dtb-bian = 1,2-bis[(2,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) were prepared by reduction of dpp-bian and dtb-bian with an excess of metallic Mg, Sr, or Ba in THF or DME. Reactions of [Mg(dpp-bian)(thf)3], 3, and 4 with diphenylacetonitrile gave keteniminates [Mg(dpp-bianH)(NCCPh2)(thf)2] (5), [Mg(dtb-bianH)(NCCPh2)(thf)2] (6), and [Ba(dpp-bianH)(NCCPh2)(dme)2] (7), respectively. The reaction of 2 with CH3C[triple chemical bond]N in THF gave [{Sr(dpp-bianH)[N(H)C(CH3)C(H)CN](thf)}2] (8). The compounds 2, 3, 5-8 were characterized by elemental analysis, and IR and NMR spectroscopy. Molecular structures of 2, 3, 7, and 8 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In contrast to reactions of alkali-metal reagents, magnesium amides, or yttriumalkyls with alpha-H acidic nitriles, which are accompanied by an amine or an alkane elimination, the reactions of [Mg(dpp-bian)(thf)3] (1), 2, 3, and 4 with such nitriles proceeded with formation of Mg, Sr, and Ba keteniminates and simultaneous protonation of one nitrogen atom of the bian ligand. The NMR spectroscopic data obtained for complex 5 indicated that in solution the amino hydrogen atom underwent the fast (on the NMR timescale) shuttle transfer between both nitrogen atoms of the dpp-bianH ligand.     

Kinetics and mechanism of gold dissolution in thiourea solutions: Effect of sulfide ions

Chronoamperograms for gold in solutions containing 0.1 M thiourea, 0.5 M H₂SO₄, and catalytically active sulfide ions at the concentration c ₁ from 1 × 10^?5 to 4 × 10^?5 M are obtained at different potentials with the aid of an automated setup intended for renewing the electrode surface directly in the solution by cutting off a thin surface layer of the metal. It is shown that the results of measurements of the current practically coincide at a constant value of the product c ₁ t, where t is the time period elapsed after the renewal of the electrode surface. Such a coincidence testifies to a diffusion nature of processes that hamper accumulation of sulfide ions at the gold surface. This fact permitted the use of a procedure developed previously for the calculation of polarization curves at constant values of surface coverage θ by catalytically active ions. At θ = const, the voltammetric curves for gold in sulfide-containing thiourea solutions are shown to correspond to the Tafel equation. With the surface coverage increasing, the effective values of the exchange current i ₀, transfer coefficient α, and anodic reaction order with respect to thiourea P _a increase from the values i }~ 10^?5 A cm^?2, α }~ 0.12, and P _a = 0.2, which are characteristic of pure solutions, to 2 × 10^?4 A cm^?2, α }~ 0.5, and P _a = 1.1 (at θ }~ 0.5). An interpretation to the established regularities is given.

Effect of group II metal cations on catecholate oxidation.

The unexpected effects of Ca(2+) on the free-radical chain reactions of dopamine, norepinephrine, isoproterenol, and pyrocatechol oxidation are studied using oxygen consumption measurements, EPR-spectroscopy, UV/VIS spectrophotometry, and by potentiometric titration. It is found that the formation of Ca(2+)-catecholate complexes is accompanied by an increase in the dissociation constants (K(ai) ) of their phenolic hydroxyls. At pH>pK(ai) and in the presence of alkaline-earth metal cations, the rate of catecholate oxidation increases (Ca(2+), Mg(2+)> Sr(2+), Ba(2+)), whereas on addition of Zn ions the rate decreases. The effects of Group II metal cations on catecholate autoxidation are concomitant with a transient increase of the EPR signal for metal-semiquinonate complexes. Therefore, the effects of Ca(2+) and other alkaline-earth metal cations on catecholate autoxidation can be defined as 1) additional deprotonation of catechol OH-groups involved in the formation of M(2+)-catecholate complexes, the latter exceeding catechols in the susceptibility to dioxygen-induced oxidation and 2) formation of relatively stable free-radical intermediates responsible for chain propagation.
