Alternativ-Liganden. XXIII. Rhodium(I)-Komplexe mit Donor/Akzeptor-Liganden des Typs (Me2PCH2CH2SiX2 und (2-Me2PC6H4)SiXMe2 (X = F,Cl)

Alternative Ligands. XXIII Rhodium(I) Complexes with Donor/Acceptor Ligands of the Type (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ and (2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SiXMe₂ (X = F, Cl) Donor/acceptor ligands of the type (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ and (2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SiXMe₂ (X = F, Cl) react with [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ (₁) to give the mononuclear complexes RhCl(CO)(Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ [X = F( 4 ), Cl ( 5 )] and RhCl(CO)[2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SixMe₂]₂ [X = F ( 8 ), Cl ( 9 )], respectively. In case of the ligands (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiCl₂ ( 3 ) and (2-Me₂PC₆H₆)SiClMe₂ ( 7 ) the Rh(I) complexes formed in the first step partly undergo oxidative addition reactions of SiCl bonds yielding rhodium(III) compounds of low solubility. Only for 8 the coordination shifts Δδ = δ(complex)?δ(ligand) and coupling constants give some indication to possible Rh→Si interactions. However, the molecular structure of 8 determined by X-ray diffraction does not show RhSi or RhF bonding contacts. The new compounds were characterized by analytical (C, H) and spectroscopic investigations (MS, IR,-NMR).     

Thermal Behaviour and Decomposition Kinetics for Two Palladium(II) Complexes with 1-aminopyrene and its Derivative

The thermal decomposition studies for two palladium(II) complexes Pd(apyr)₂Cl₂ and Pd(pmpa)Cl₂ (apyr=1–aminopyrene and pmpa=N–(2–pyridylmethylene)–1–pyrenylamine) were carried out in pure nitrogen using TG-DTG techniques. The non-isothermal kinetic parameters for the two complexes were evaluated employing the method suggested by Málek, esták, Koga et al. Based on the above results, thermal behaviour of the complexes were carefully discussed, which showed that not only the parameters value, but also the decomposition pattern and mechanism for complex 1 are different from complex 2.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Polyol-Metall-Komplexe. 27. Bis-diolato-antimonate(III) mit Guanosin als Diol

Polyol Metal Complexes. 27. Bis-Diolato Antimonates(III ) with Guanosine as the Diol The complex anions of K₃[Sb^III(Guo1,2′,3′H_?3)₂] · 10 H₂O ( 1 ) and [Co(NH₃)₆][Sb^III(Guo1,2′,3′H_?3)₂] · 9 H₂O ( 2 ) are four-coordinate homoleptic bis(diolato)antimonate(III ) species. The guanosine trianions act as carbohydrate ligands through their cis-furanoidic ribosyl moiety, thus forming no nucleobase–metal bonds.

Thermal effects and band spreading in capillary electro-separation

Summary Four Capillary Electroseparation methods are distinguished. All have an ultimate efficiency limited only by axial diffusion and are in principle capable of achieving 10⁶ plates in <1 hour.The main limitation to performance arises from Ohmic heating of the electrolyte. While forced convection at 10ms^–1 is recommended to keep tubes cool, the parabolic temperature profile within the electrolyte limits the tube bore which can be used. A simple limiting expression is derived: (d_c/m)³ (E/kV m^–1)³ (c/mol dm^–3) <3.3×10⁹.Values of constants underlined     

Modeling of serine protease prototype reactions with the flexible effective fragment potential quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical method

A complete cycle of chemical transformations for the serine protease prototype reaction is modeled following calculations with the flexible effective fragment quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) method. The initial molecular model is based on the crystal structure of the trypsin–bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor complex including all atoms of the enzyme within approximately 15–18 Å of the oxygen center O of the catalytic serine residue. Several selections of the QM/MM partitioning are considered. Fractions of the side chains of the residues from the catalytic triad (serine, histidine and aspartic acid) and a central part of a model substrate around the C–N bond to be cleaved are included into the QM subsystem. The remaining part, or the MM subsystem, is represented by flexible chains of small effective fragments, whose potentials explicitly contribute to the Hamiltonian of the QM part, but the corresponding fragment–fragment interactions are described by the MM force fields. The QM/MM boundaries are extended over the C–C bonds of the peptides assigned to the QM subsystem in the enzyme, C–C and C–N bonds in model substrates. Multiple geometry optimizations have been performed by using the RHF/6-31G method in the QM part and OPLSAA or AMBER sets of MM parameters, resulting in a series of stationary points on the complex potential-energy surfaces. All structures generally accepted for the serine protease catalytic cycle have been located. Energies at the stationary points found have been recomputed at the MP2/6-31+G^* level for the QM part in the protein environment. Structural changes along the reaction path are analyzed with special attention to hydrogen-bonding networks. In the case of a model substrate selected as a short peptide CH₃(NHCO-CH₂)₂ – HN–CO–(CH₂–NHCO)CH₃ the computed energy profile for the acylation step shows too high activation energy barriers. The energetics of this rate-limiting step is considerably improved, if more realistic model for the substrate is considered, following the motifs of the ThrI11–GlyI12–ProI13-–CysI14–LysI15–AlaI16–ArgI17–IleI18–IleI19 sequence of the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor.     

Synthesis of Functionalized (2-Thienylcarbonyl)thiazoles and 4-(2-Thienyl)pyridines by Reaction of (2-Thienylcarbonyl)thioacetanilides and their Enamine Derivatives

Summary. The condensation of two molecules of 2-(2-thienylcarbonyl)thioacetanilides catalyzed by piperidine yielded thiazole derivatives as confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The reaction of malononitrile with 3-morpholino-3-(2-thienyl)acrylic acid thioanilides furnished 6-amino-1-aryl-4-(2-thienyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-thioxopyridine-5-carbonitriles. A similar reaction of malononitrile with 3-morpholino-3-(2-thienyl)acrylic acid anilides provided 2-oxopyridine-5-carbonitriles.     

Electrochemical synthesis of Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanoparticles in alkaline aqueous solutions containing complexing agents

Ultrafine magnetite particles are prepared through an electrochemical process, at room temperature, from an iron-based electrode immersed in an alkaline aqueous medium containing complexing compounds. XRD and chemical analysis indicate that the product is pure magnetite, Fe₃O₄. The size and morphology of the particles are studied by SEM. The magnetite nanoparticles present a magnetoresistance of almost 3%, at 300 K, under a magnetic field of 1 T. A reactive mechanism for the electrochemical process is proposed.

DFT and CIS(D) theoretical study on the ground and excited states of pentanitrogen cation

Different isomers of N₅⁺ were modeled at DFT(PBE0)/aug-cc-pV(Q + d)Z, and their ground(transition) state characteristics were assessed through frequency calculations. Single-point energies were accomplished at PBE0/aug-cc-pV(5 + d)Z. Nonlinear optical susceptibilities (NLO) of isomers were accomplished using Firefly, while the linear optical invariant was examined using the finite-field method, Firefly, and modified dipole field tensor in the presence of two different screening factors. The excited states, singlets and triplets, of were modeled at the CIS and CIS(D) and then their optical parameters were estimated at TDFT(PBE0)/aug-cc-pV(Q + d)Z using Firefly. The singlet is found the most stable isomer, with the inversional rate constant larger than that of the Cs isomer and high energy barrier with the triplet counterpart. Isomers 2 , 3 , and 4 are found local minima, while 5 and 6 are saddle points: transition states between equivalent invertomers. Energy calculations of the singlet and triplet isomers were in excellent agreement with the literature. An excellent correlation is found between the average polarizability and the impulse factor. Substantial variations were found between the singlet and triplet excited states in terms of energy, geometry, and optical properties from one side and with from the other side. Reactivity indices showed that N1 and N5 are the optimum nucleophilic and electrophilic reactivity sites.
