Five model 1-phenyl-3,3-dialkyltriazenes (methyl, ethyl, 2-propyl, butyl, cyclohexyl) have been synthesized and their acid-catalyzed decomposition kinetics have been investigated spectrophotometrically in aqueous ethanol (40 vol.%) with pivalic acid as the catalyst. The results show that the rate-determining step is catalyzed by the proton. The decrease in the observed rate constant at higher concentrations of pivalic acid is explained by the formation of an unreactive complex of the nondissociated acid and respective triazene. The steric effect of alkyl groups on the catalytic rate constants is discussed.

In aqueous sulfuric acid, aliphatic N-nitro amines decompose to N2O and alcohols. An excess acidity analysis of the observed rate constants for the reaction shows that free carbocations are not formed. The reaction is an acid-catalyzed SN2 displacement from the protonated aci-nitro tautomer, the nucleophile being a water molecule at acidities below 82–85% H2SO4, and a bisulfate ion at higher acidities. Bisulfate is the poorer nucleophile by a factor of about 1000. Twelve compounds were studied, of which results obtained for nine at several different temperatures enabled calculation of activation parameters for both nucleophiles. The reaction appears to be mainly enthalpy controlled. The intercept standard-state rate constants are well correlated by the σ* values for the alkyl groups; the slopes are negative, with a more negative value for the slower bisulfate reaction. Interestingly the m≠m* slopes also correlate with σ*, although the scatter is bad. Key words: N-nitro amines, excess acidity, bisulfate, nucleophiles, acid-catalyzed, kinetics.

AbstractZn(II) halide complexes of the form L2ZnX2 (X=Cl, Br, I) containing bio-relevant or bio-related ligands like 1-alkyl-imidazoles (alkyl=methyl, ethyl and iso-propyl) or (–)-nicotine are presented. All complexes were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of the majority of complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The zinc ion exists in a tetrahedral environment coordinated by two halide anions and two nitrogen atoms of the N-heterocycles. Upon photoexcitation the nicotine complexes feature a blue emission which we tentatively assign to phosphorescence.

A series of novel bisphosphonates (BPs) were designed and synthesised as longer-chain analogues of the clinically widely used BP–zoledronate (ZL). They were characterised by mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All the crystals are zwitterions with one of the phosphonate oxygen atoms deprotonated and the hydrogen atom transferred to the nitrogen of the imidazole ring. A lot of strong hydrogen bonds are observed among the phosphonate oxygens, hydroxy groups, and protonated nitrogen atoms. An accurate, precise, and robust method was developed to determine the bone binding affinities of BPs based on high performance liquid chromatography. The results show that these five BPs have a strong affinity for hydroxyapatite and the binding capacity decreases when the substituted alkyl groups increase in size.
