In (I), pyzdcH2 is doubly deprotonated on reaction with piperazine as a base. Compound (II) crystallizes as a dimer, whereas compound (III) exists as a one-dimensional coordination polymer. In (II), two pyzdc(2-) groups c...

The synthesis and structural characterization of the linear bis(catecho1) amide ligand, N,N'-bis(... more The synthesis and structural characterization of the linear bis(catecho1) amide ligand, N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-l,7-diazaheptane (5-LICAM, 11, was studied along with several metal complexes, namely, Ni2+ and Co2+. We were able to obtain a single-crystal X-ray analysis of a derivative of 1, the hemimethoxy ligand, 5-LICAM(OCH3)2, 2, where partial demethylation of the fully methylated derivative of 1 was serendipitiously obtained in the presence of a deficiency of BBr3. The X-ray structure showed why we retained the methoxy group, during the partial demethylation reaction, in each catechol amide ring by the fact that a selective intramolecular hydrogen bond occurs between the one demethylated OH group in each catechol ring and the amide carbonyl in the adjacent position (C=O---HO, 1.67 A). Reaction of 1 with a Ni2+ salt provided the first structurally characterized square planar, linear bis-catechol amide, dianionic metal complex, with cesium as the counterion, CS~[~-LICAM-N~]*~DMF, 3, (Ni-0, 1.87 A, 0-Ni-0, 87.9-92.5'). It is also interesting to note that one of the cesium atoms was cis-bonded to the catechol oxygens in each ring (02---Csl, 06-Csl = 3.23 A, 3.03 A) and to the carbonyl oxygen of one of the three DMF solvent molecules (Csl-O=C, 3.13 A), while the other cesium atom was bonded to all three carbonyl oxygens of the DMF molecules in the structure (Cs2-0 7 , 0 8 = 3.13, 3.12 A). A Co2+ analogue of 3, Cs2[5-LICAM-Co]*DMF, 4, provided a similar structure as ascertained by FT-IR, FABMS, and elemental analysis. In order to test the utilization of 1 in removing Ni2+ from aqueous solution for environmental inorganic applications, we synthesized the polymer pendant ligand version, PS-5-LICAM, bonded to modified 6% macroporous divinylbenzene-polystyrene beads (0.55 mmol/g), with an important modification of a sulfonate group on the catechol ring, PS-5-LICAMS, to impart hydrophilicity to the ligand site. Indeed, we found that the PS-5-LICAMS ligand removed 0.35 m o l of Ni/g of polymer beads from aqueous solution at pH 2.5, but unfortunately, was not selective to Ni'+ in competition with other divalent metal

The compound 1 is a tin analogue of an alkyne. It was characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, combustion analysis and X-ray crystallography. The structural data show that 1 has a trans-bent, planar C(ipso)SnSnC(ipso) skeleton with a Sn-Sn bond distance of 2.6675(4) A and a Sn-Sn-C angle of 125.24(7) degrees. The Sn-Sn distance, which is ca. 0.15 A shorter than a conventional Sn-Sn single bond, and the trans-bent structure indicate the presence Sn-Sn multiple bond character unlike the related singly bonded ArPbPbAr species.

The reaction of the lithium salt of the related bulky terphenol Ar′OH(Ar′=C6H3-2,6(C6H3-2,6-Pr3i)2) with the divalent species MCl2 (M=Ge, Sn) afforded the novel germanium (II) and tin (II) mono- and bisphenoxides

The benzyl viologen that contains boronic acids in the ortho-position (o-BBV) was found to display unique behavior, which can be rationalized by a charge neutralization mechanism facilitated by an intramolecular interaction between sp 3 boronate and the quaternary nitrogen of the viologen. Potentiometric titration and 11 B NMR spectroscopy were used to generate pH profiles for the boronic acids, which provide additional evidence for the proposed mechanism. Ó 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

When the addition occurs at two [6,6] ring junctions within the same hexagon, bisadducts with mirror symmetry are obtained for both C60 and C70. When the addition occurs at two [5,6] ring junctions in C60, a symmetrical adduct is formed, which readily undergoes photo-oxygenation and ring opening to yield a fullerene with a hole in the cage. In this work, we also propose a simple and general system to name all of the possible [6,6] bisadduct isomers on C70.

The red-violet compound originally formulated as a cationic π-CS2 complex, [RuCl(π-CS2)(PPh3)3]Cl, has been identified as a neutral molecule, RuCl2(S2CPPh3)(PPh3)2, which contains the unstable zwitterion S2CPPh3. In the absence of RuCl2(PPh3)3, there is no sign of a reaction between triphenylphosphine and carbon disulfide, although more basic trialkylphosphines form red adducts, S2CPR3. Despite the presence of an unstable ligand, RuCl2(S2CPPh3)(PPh3)2 is remarkably stable. It survives melting at 173-174 °C intact, is stable to air, and undergoes reversible electrochemical oxidation to form a monocation. When the reaction of RuCl2(PPh3)3 with carbon disulfide is conducted in the presence of methanol, crystals of orange [RuCl(S2CPPh3)(CS)(PPh3)2]Cl·2MeOH and yellow RuCl2(CS)(MeOH)(PPh3)2 also form....

These compounds may be useful in asymmetric reactions. In the structures reported here, the N-B donor-acceptor bond is longer than in any previously reported analogous compounds.
