RESUMO
An umpolung strategy was used for the preparation of highly functionalized 3-pyrrolin-2-ones. This approach involves dearomative double chlorination of 1H-pyrroles to form highly reactive dichloro-substituted 2H-pyrroles. The resulting intermediate reacts selectively with wet alcohols to form the corresponding alkoxy-substituted 3-pyrrolin-2-ones via double nucleophilic substitution in up to 99% yield. The subsequent reaction with different N-, O-, and S-nucleophiles opens access to highly functionalized pyrrolinones bearing additional functionality. The overall outcome of the reported sequence is step-by-step nucleophilic modification of pyrroles with three different nucleophiles. All steps were found to be highly efficient and 100% regioselective. This transformation proceeds under mild conditions and does not require any catalyst to give final products in very high yields. The obtained experimental results are in perfect agreement with the data obtained by theoretical investigation of these reactions.
RESUMO
An efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of highly functionalized 2H-pyrroles. This synthetic approach involves the in situ generation of highly reactive 2,5-dichloro-substituted 2H-pyrroles through dearomative chlorination of the corresponding 1H-pyrroles. The resulting reaction mixture is then treated with various amines, leading to the formation of 2,5-diaminated 2H-pyrroles. Subsequent nucleophilic substitution of fluorine with different N-, O-, and S-nucleophiles allows us to introduce additional functionality into a 2H-pyrrole core. The overall outcome of this reaction sequence is the triple nucleophilic modification of pyrroles. All steps of the sequence were found to be highly efficient, regioselective in the preparation of desired di- and trisubstituted derivatives in up to 96% overall yield. In addition, the computational study of this reaction sequence was carried out using density functional theory (DFT). The results of calculations are in perfect agreement with experimental observations.
RESUMO
The search for new effective extractants is an important task for the management of high-level liquid waste (HLW) generated during the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Here, we synthesized a series of diglycolamides with cyclic substituents for the first time. We disclosed their coordination with f-element nitrates [La(NO3)3 and UO2(NO3)2] by SC-XRD study and complexation properties toward Am(III), Ln(III), and U(VI) during solvent extraction from nitric acid solutions. Using dynamic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the importance of tautomerism in the extraction properties of diglycolamides was shown.
RESUMO
New nitrosonium manganese(II) nitrate, (NO)Mn6(NO3)13, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. In the temperature range of 45-298 K, the crystal is hexagonal (centrosymmetric sp. gr. P63/m). Mn2+ ions are assembled into tubes along axis c with both NO3- filling and coating. The nitrosonium cation is located in the framework cavity and is disordered by a 3-fold axis. At the temperature TS1 = 190 K, a structural phase transition related to the libration of the intertube NO3 group and a small variation of Mn polyhedron is observed. Moreover, the anomalies in physical properties of (NO)Mn6(NO3)13 allow suggesting that ordering of NO+ units occurs at low temperatures. The antiferromagnetic ordering in this compound is preceded by the formation of a short-range correlation regime at about 25 K and takes place in two steps at TN1 = 12.0 K and TN2 = 8.4 K.
RESUMO
LnCl3(THF)3 (Ln = Y, La ÷ Nd, Sm ÷ Lu) readily react with the tridentate 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (Me3tach) ligand to form mono- or binuclear lanthanide trichloride complexes, depending on the stoichiometry of the reaction and the ionic radius of the metal: mononuclear pseudosandwich [LnCl3(Me3tach)2], (Ln = Y, La ÷ Ho) or binuclear complexes [Ln2Cl6(Me3tach)3], or [LnCl3(Me3tach)(THF)]2 (Ln = Sm, Tb). Detailed analysis of the NMR data of [LnCl3(Me3tach)2] complexes with paramagnetic lanthanide ions showed that their structures remained unchanged in the toluene solution. A series of isomorphous complexes [LnCl3(Me3tach)(Py)2] (Ln = La, Sm, Tb, Er, Lu; Py = pyridine) have been obtained by the recrystallization of either mononuclear or binuclear complexes from pyridine. Complexes of terbium and europium ions with the Me3tach ligand exhibit relatively high quantum yields of metal-centered luminescence (0.39 and 0.32, respectively).
RESUMO
Two novel derivatives of the C70 fullerene with 9- and 10-membered cage openings were obtained by means of oxidation and decarbonylation of C70(CF3)8. The major product, C70(O)(CF3)8O2, features a cleaved C-C bond transformed into two carbonyl functions plus an ether bridge. The second product, C69O(CF3)8O, has one of the carbonyls replaced with another ether bridge. We provide a DFT analysis of the possible formation pathways to give the oxidized compounds under the action of pyridine N-oxide.
RESUMO
In this work, we have developed selective methods for the synthesis of quinoline-2-carboxylates and quinoline-3-carboxylates as well as (indolin-2-ylidene)acetates through copper-, silver-, or phosphine-catalyzed reaction of propiolates with 2'-amino-2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenones. The approaches proposed ensure synthesis of substituted quinoline carboxylates and (indolin-2-ylidene)acetates in good yields. Introduction of alkynones into the reaction with 2'-amino-2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenones gives acyl substituted derivatives in good yields.
RESUMO
A new type of neutral mixed-valence system was synthesized using a facile one-pot procedure. The spiro-conjugated framework is additionally "fastened" with a biphenyl bridge, which does not directly participate in spin delocalization but makes the molecule stable and influences the reorganization energy and the energy barrier of the intramolecular electron transfer. The in-depth experimental and quantum-chemical study allowed determining the radicals as the Classâ II Robin-Day-mixed-valence systems. The structure of the radicals was confirmed by the X-ray data, which are relatively rare for Classâ II MV molecules. Advanced properties of the radicals, such as an ambipolar redox behavior and panchromatic absorption in the visible and NIR regions, along with their stability, make them of interest for materials science. All radicals demonstrate the SOMO-HOMO inversion phenomenon, which was supported by the DFT and the experimental study.
RESUMO
A new family of compounds ACu7 TeO4 (SO4 )5 Cl (A=Na, K, Rb, Cs) isostructural to mineral Nabokoite (K species) was synthesized by solid state and gas transport reactions in sealed ampoules and characterized in measurements of magnetization and specific heat in a wide temperature range. These complex compounds are of the utmost interest as a testing playground to study the properties of quasi-two-dimensional magnets with a square kagome lattice geometry. A quantum ground state of such a corner-sharing network is a spin liquid. Unlike idealized grid analyzed in numerous models, the square kagome lattice in nabokoites is wavy and distorted being composed of versatile triangles. Moreover, it contains "excessive" decorating magnetic ions, which makes magnetism of these objects even more complicated. The interaction of these decorating ions through virtual excitations of the square kagome lattice is accompanied by the formation of a long-range magnetic order coexisting with the spin liquid.
RESUMO
The Barton-Zard reaction of ß-fluoro-ß-nitrostyrenes with ethyl α-isocyanoacetate was studied. The reaction was found to proceed in a highly chemoselective manner to form preferably 4-fluoropyrroles in up to 77% yield. The corresponding 4-nitrosubstituted pyrroles are formed as minor products of the reaction. The broad scope of ß-fluoro-ß-nitrostyrenes was demonstrated in the preparation of a variety of fluorinated pyrroles. The obtained experimental results are in perfect agreement with the data obtained by theoretical investigation of this reaction. The subsequent study of synthetic utility of monofluorinated pyrroles was performed to open a way for the development of a variety of functionalized pyrrole derivatives.
RESUMO
Phenanthroline diamides (L) demonstrated a unique ability to extract uranium from nitric acid solutions into a polar organic solvent forming complexes of 1:2 stoichiometry as tight ion pairs {[UO2LNO3]+[UO2(NO3)3]-} by a novel extraction mechanism, which is a combination of two already well-known mechanisms: solvation and ion-pair anion exchange. A UV-vis study was used to confirm the formation of such complexes directly in the organic phase. Moreover, chemical synthesis and single crystal growth were performed to confirm unambiguously the structure of the complexes in the solid state.
RESUMO
A highly efficient synthetic approach was developed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diamides with two different substituents in the fourth and seventh positions of the phenanthroline core. The structures of these ligands were confirmed using various spectral methods including 2D-NMR and X-ray analysis. Quantum chemical calculations supported the presence of tautomeric forms of these ligands. Furthermore, it was discovered that these compounds exhibit polydentate ligand behavior toward lanthanide nitrates. The structural characteristics of the complexes formed between these ligands and lanthanide nitrates were investigated both in the solid state and in solution. To further understand the binding properties of these novel unsymmetrical ligands, the binding constants for potential complexes were quantitatively measured by using UV-vis spectrophotometric titration. This allowed for a comprehensive analysis of the binding affinity and stability of these complexes. Extraction experiments of f-elements were performed for symmetrical and unsymmetrical diamides. Overall, this study presents significant advancement in the synthesis and characterization of unsymmetrical 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diamides and provides valuable insights into their potential applications as polydentate ligands for lanthanide nitrates.
RESUMO
Derivatives of naphthalene-diimide (NDI) are among the most studied and popular organic semiconductors showing n-type conductivity. However, the structure and optoelectronic properties of crystalline NDIs N-functionalized with conjugated donors have not been investigated yet. In this study, a novel donor-acceptor compound NDI-Stb bearing one NDI core, as an acceptor, and two stilbene moieties covalently linked via imide positions of NDI, as a donor, was synthesized. A combined experimental and theoretical approach was applied to study the structure and properties of NDI-Stb molecules and its crystals. We found and explained why optical absorption and high-frequency Raman spectra are inherited from those of donor and acceptor moieties, but photoluminescence is determined by the properties of the whole molecule. We resolved the structure of NDI-Stb single crystals and found that strong intermolecular interactions operate along two directions, for which NDI cores stack either on similar cores or on stilbene moieties. These interactions cause suppression of dynamic disorder indicated by a weak low-frequency Raman signal and solid-state luminescence enhancement. Ambipolar charge transport was predicted, and electron transport was experimentally observed in NDI-Stb polycrystalline thin films. The results obtained highlight the potential of using NDIs N-functionalized with conjugated donor moieties in optoelectronic applications, and improve the understanding of structure-property relationships necessary for the rational design of novel donor-acceptor organic semiconductors.
RESUMO
The search for new anticancer drugs based on biogenic metals, which have weaker side effects compared to platinum-based drugs, remains an urgent task in medicinal chemistry. Titanocene dichloride, a coordination compound of fully biocompatible titanium, has failed in pre-clinical trials but continues to attract the attention of researchers as a structural framework for the development of new cytotoxic compounds. In this study, a series of titanocene (IV) carboxylate complexes, both new and those known from the literature, was synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by a complex of physicochemical methods and X-ray diffraction analysis (including one previously unknown structure based on perfluorinated benzoic acid). The comprehensive comparison of three approaches for the synthesis of titanocene derivatives known from the literature (the nucleophilic substitution of chloride anions of titanocene dichloride with sodium and silver salts of carboxylic acids as well as the reaction of dimethyltitanocene with carboxylic acids themselves) made it possible to optimize these methods to obtain higher yields of individual target compounds, generalize the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques, and determine the substrate frames of each method. The redox potentials of all obtained titanocene derivatives were determined by cyclic voltammetry. The relationship between the structure of ligands, the reduction potentials of titanocene (IV), and their relative stability in redox processes, as obtained in this work, can be used for the design and synthesis of new effective cytotoxic titanocene complexes. The study of the stability of the carboxylate-containing derivatives of titanocene obtained in the work in aqueous media showed that they were more resistant to hydrolysis than titanocene dichloride. Preliminary tests of the cytotoxicity of the synthesised titanocene dicarboxilates on MCF7 and MCF7-10A cell lines demonstrated an IC50 ≥ 100 µM for all the obtained compounds.

High-temperature chlorination of conventional IPR C60 can produce chloro derivatives of non-IPR C60 by skeletal transformations via Stone-Wales rearrangements (SWRs) of the carbon cage. We report the synthesis and structure elucidation of non-IPR 1809C60Cl8 and nonclassical C60(NC)Cl14. The present isolation of 1809C60Cl8 hints at the possibility that the same product in the previously reported chlorine-doped arc-discharge synthesis could have, likewise, resulted from the initially formed IPR C60. C60(NC)Cl14 is the first chloride containing a nonclassical carbon cage with one heptagon and 13 pentagons known previously only in a CF3 derivative. Additionally, trifluoromethylation of non-IPR chlorides revealed the formation of 1806C60(CF3)14 with a new non-IPR carbon cage and unusual trifluoromethylation pattern. Thereby, the number of different, structurally confirmed non-IPR carbon cages of C60 now reaches eight.
RESUMO
A series of NHC-stabilized amido compounds (NHC)nM[N(SiMe3)2]2 (M = Yb(II), Sm(II), Ca(II); n = 1, 2) showed remarkable catalytic efficiency in addition of PhPH2 and PH3 to alkenes under mild conditions and low catalyst loading. The effect of σ-donor capacity of NHCs on catalytic activity in hydrophosphination of styrene with PhPH2 and PH3 was revealed. For the series of three-coordinate complexes 1-4M, a tendency to increase the catalytic activity with growth of σ-donating strength of the carbene ligand was clearly demonstrated. The complex (NHC)2Sm[N(SiMe3)2]2 (NHC = 1,3-diisopropyl-2H-imidazole-2-ylidene) (5Sm) proved to be the most efficient catalyst, which enabled hardly realizable transformations such as PhPH2 addition across internal CâC bonds of norbornene and cis- and trans-stilbenes, providing the highest reaction rate for addition of PH3 to styrene. Excellent regio- and chemoselectivities of alkylation of PH3 with styrenes allow for a selective and good-yield synthesis of desired organophosphinesâeither primary, secondary, or tertiary. Stepwise alkylation of PH3 with various substituted styrenes can be efficiently applied as an approach to nonsymmetric secondary phosphines. The rate equation of the addition of styrene to PH3 promoted by 5Sm was found: rate = k[styrene]1[5Sm]1.
RESUMO
Using a high-temperature ampoule technique and lead metal as a flux, we have grown single crystals and determined crystal structures from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data of two metal-rich phosphides, Sr5Pt12P9 (P 21/m, a = 6.1472(3) Å, b = 25.1713(13) Å, c = 6.4635(3) Å, ß = 99.604(2)°, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0326, wR2 = 0.0786) and BaPt3P2 (P 212121, a = 6.3605(6) Å, b = 6.8541(7) Å, c = 11.3493(12) Å, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0231, wR2 = 0.0501). Both compounds belong to their own structure types and feature 3D networks of Pt and P atoms, with the channels occupied by alkaline earth metal cations. Density functional theory calculations reveal Sr5Pt12P9 to be a metal, while BaPt3P2 is a narrow-gap semiconductor with a band gap of 0.24 eV. Bonding analysis shows that both compounds feature networks of prominent covalent localized Pt-P bonds, responsible for their structural stability, as well as additional weaker and, likely, less localized Pt-Pt interactions.
RESUMO
In this work, the solution conformations of seventeen 3,7-diacyl bispidines were studied by means of NMR spectroscopy including VT NMR experiments. The acyl groups included alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, hetaryl, and ferrocene moieties. The presence of syn/anti-isomers and their ratios were estimated, and some reasons explaining experimental facts were formulated. In particular, all aliphatic and heterocyclic units in the acylic R(CO) fragments led to an increased content of the syn-form in DMSO-d6 solutions. In contrast, only the anti-form was detected in DMSO-d6 and CDCl3 in the case when R = Ph, ferrocenyl, (R)-myrtenyl. In the case of a chiral compound derived from the natural terpene myrtene, a new dynamic process was found in addition to the expected inversion around the amide N-C(O) bond. Here, rotation around the CO-C=C bond in the acylic R fragment was detected, and its energy was estimated. For this compound, ΔG for amide N-C(O) inversion was found to be equal to 15.0 ± 0.2 kcal/mol, and for the rotation around the N(CO)-C2' bond, it was equal to 15.6 ± 0.3 kcal/mol. NMR analysis of the chiral bispidine-based bis-amide was conducted for the first time. Two X-ray structures are reported. For the first time, the unique syn-form was found in the crystal of an acyclic bispidine-based bis-amide. Quantum chemical calculations revealed the unexpected mechanism for amide bond inversion. It was found that the reaction does not proceed as direct N-C(O) bond inversion in the double-chair (CC) conformation but rather requires the conformational transformation into the chair-boat (CB) form first. The amide bond inversion in the latter requires less energy than in the CC form.
RESUMO
A series of potassium salts of di- and tri-arylsubstituted cyclopentadienes has been obtained by the metalation of the corresponding cyclopentadienes with benzylpotassium in THF media. Crystals of all compounds, afforded by recrystallization from THF/hexane, diglyme-THF/hexane and toluene/hexane mixtures, have been studied by X-ray diffraction. All studied potassium cyclopentadienides exhibit the luminescence at room temperature and overall quantum yield of photoluminescence for potassium salt of diarylsubstituted cyclopentadiene is 18%.
RESUMO
The first examples of 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diamides bearing CF3-groups on the side amide substituents were synthesized. Due to stereoisomerism and amide rotation, such complexes have complicated behavior in solutions. Using advanced NMR techniques and X-ray analysis, their structures were completely elucidated. The possibility of the formation of complex compounds with lanthanoids nitrates was shown, and the constants of their stability are quantified. The results obtained are explained in terms of quantum-chemical calculations.
