A Germylene Supported by Two 2-Pyrrolylphosphane Groups as Precursor to PGeP Pincer Square-Planar Group 10 Metal(II) and T-Shaped Gold(I) Complexes

An efficient synthesis of 2-di-tert-butylphosphanylmethylpyrrole (HpyrmPtBu₂), by treating 2-dimethylaminomethylpyrrole (HpyrmNMe₂) with tBu₂PH at 135 °C in the absence of any solvent, has allowed the preparation of the new PGeP germylene Ge(pyrmPtBu₂)₂ ( 1 ), by treating [GeCl₂(dioxane)] with LipyrmPtBu₂, in which the Ge atom is stabilized by intramolecular interactions with one (solid state) or both (solution) of its phosphane groups. Reactions of germylene 1 with Group 10 metal dichlorido complexes containing easily displaceable ligands have led to [MCl{κ³P,Ge,P-GeCl(pyrmPtBu₂)₂}] [M=Ni ( 2 ), Pd ( 3 ), Pt ( 4 )], which have an unflawed square-planar metal environment. Treatment of germylene 1 with [AuCl(tht)] (tht=tetrahydrothiophene) rendered [Au{κ³P,Ge,P-GeCl(pyrmPtBu₂)₂}] ( 5 ), which is a rare case of a T-shaped gold(I) complex. The hydrolysis of 5 gave the linear gold(I) derivative [Au(κP-HpyrmPtBu₂)₂]Cl ( 6 ). Complexes 2 – 5 contain a PGeP pincer chloridogermyl ligand that arises from the insertion of the Ge atom of germylene 1 into a M−Cl bond of the corresponding metal reagent. The bonding in these molecules has been studied by DFT/NBO/QTAIM calculations. These results demonstrate that the great flexibility of germylene 1 makes it a better precursor to PGeP pincer complexes than the previously known germylenes of this type.     

T-shaped non-symmetrical twin liquid crystalline compounds

New unconventional T-shaped non-symmetrical dimeric liquid crystalline compounds have been synthesised and their thermotropic properties studied on the hot-stage of a polarising microscope. These compounds consist of an azo-ester mesogenic unit with a range of terminal substituents (–CH₃, –OCH₃, –NO₂ or –Cl) at one end, interconnected by a flexible spacer (n?=?4, 5 or 10) via ether and ester linking units to a biphenyl moiety at the lateral hydroxyl position of the azo-ester. All the compounds were characterised using a combination of elemental analysis and standard spectroscopic methods. The compounds were found to exhibit enantiotropic nematic and smectic mesophases. The effect of different terminal substituents on mesomorphism is discussed.

Hemilability and regioselectivity in palladium and platinum complexes of dppm(E) [E = O, S, Se] ligands

Hemilability and nonrigidity in a series of mixed P^PE donor ligands where E = O, S, or Se have been studied in palladium and platinum complexes of the type [M{κ²-(dimethylamino)ethylnaphthyl-C,N)}(P^PE)][SbF₆] where P^PE = Ph₂PCH₂P(E)Ph₂.The role of the donor in hemilability, regioselectivity and the binding preferences of particular donors trans to the metallated carbon atom were also investigated. NMR parameters including couplings to ¹⁹⁵Pt and ⁷⁷Se were investigated for cis and trans isomers. The magnitude of ²J¹³C-⁷⁷Se couplings can readily distinguish the cis and trans isomers. A large through-space ¹³C-⁷⁷Se ³J coupling was observed in one of the amino methyl groups of the dppm(Se) complexes.     

Theoretical investigation of histidine-tryptophan preferential interactions

Several histidine-tryptophan complexes (either stacked or T-shaped), derived from the crystal structures available in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank, have been examined with molecular mechanics (MM), using the Tripos force field with Gasteiger-Hückel charges, whose trend was found to be analogous to the AMBER or CHARMM ones. The MM results were compared to the ab initio MP2 results, with and without counterpoise (CP) correction, previously obtained using extended basis sets on 5-methylimidazole and indole as model systems. MM seems to underestimate the interaction energy between the two monomers when compared to the uncorrected MP2 results, while the agreement is much better after including the CP correction at the MP2 level in all cases. MM was thus used to qualitatively analyse the dependence of the stacking energy on the ring rotation at a variable distance and ring centroid displacement for these systems, while keeping the rings in parallel planes. An analogous study was carried out for a T-shaped adduct. Received: 24 March 1998 / Accepted: 3 September 1998 / Published online: 1 February 1999     

T型分支管道对油气爆炸压力的影响

为了研究T型分支结构对管道内油气爆炸压力的影响,进行了不同初始油气体积分数、不同初始点火能工况下多参数对比实验,并对火焰传播进行了可视化研究。实验结果表明:T型分支管道对油气爆炸压力有强化作用,强化程度和初始油气体积分数关系密切,在当量比附近,强化程度表现最显著;初始点火能对油气爆炸最大超压影响显著,随着点火能的增大,最大爆炸超压呈线性增长;波的绕射和反射、流场湍流度增强、管道通道面积增大和障碍物扰动是导致T型分支管道内爆炸压力增强的主要因素;T型分支管道会导致火焰阵面严重地弯曲褶皱变形,增大火焰面积,并且回传火焰对T型分支结构壁面具有较强的破坏作用。

Fast-response terahertz wave switch based on T-shaped photonic crystal waveguide

We design an ultra-fast terahertz wave switch based on T-shape photonic crystal waveguide. The polymer rod is added in the junction as a point defect, the refractive index of which can be varied by adjusting the external pump laser intensity. The transmission spectrum is calculated by finite-difference time-domain method, which shows that the output energy of the two output ports is closely related to the refractive index of the polymer rod. By continuous wave excitation of the guided mode, the simulation results show that the T-shaped photonic crystal waveguide can flexibly tune the power in two output ports. The tuning rate of the device is about 0.3 ns. These results provide a useful guide and a theoretical basis for the developments of terahertz wave functional components.

The crystal and molecular structures of the organomercury(II) complexes [Hg(C₆H₅)(chtsc)], 1, and [Hg(C₆H₅C₅H₄N)(btsc)], 2, obtained from the reaction of phenylmercury(II) acetate with cyclohexanone thiosemicarbazone (Hchtsc) and that of [2-(pyridin-2′-yl)]phenyl]mercury(II) acetate with benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (Hbtsc), respectively, are described. Both 1 and 2 are monoclinic, space group C2/c. Complex 1 has a distorted T-shaped geometry {C-Hg-S, 161.91(10)°} and 2 can be considered to have a distorted seesaw geometry {C-Hg-S, 171.2(10)°}. In both complexes the ligands act as bidentate chelating anions bonding through azomethine N¹ and thiolato S atoms.
