The unusual product of the reaction of 2-chloroacrylonitrile with ethane thiol and following hydrogen peroxide oxidation was found to be (E)-1,2-bis(ethylsulphonyl)cyclobutane-1,2-dicarbonitrile by means of X-ray crystallography. 1H and 13C NMR study of this compound has proven the same conformation of the molecule in solution.

Both possible 6-N-oxides of agroclavine (I) and elymoclavine (II) were prepared by hydrogen peroxide oxidation. Their 1H and 13C NMR spectra were assigned and the conformation of the D ring (half-chair) was determined. Absolute configuration at 6-N was established by NMR and molecular modelling.

The reactions of amines and amino alcohols with diisopropyl or diethyl R,R- or S,S-tartrate and Ti(OiPr)4 were examined by 1H and 13C NMR to obtain and characterize nonfluxional complexes with the tartrate units in novel binding modes. The mildly acidic 8-hydroxyquinoline and N-phenyl-N-benzoylhydroxylamine selectively formed the products of a double OiPr substitution, Ti2(tartrate)2(ligand)2(OiPr)2, and the products of double tartrate substitution, Ti(ligand)2(OiPr)2, while 2,4-pentanedione formed only the latter Basic amino alkanols formed diastereomerically pure Ti2(tartrate)2(aminoalkoxide)(OiPr)3 species. N,N-Dimethyl-2-aminoethanol (Hdmae) also and uniquely formed monomeric Ti(tartrate)2(Hdmae)2 species that could be described as doubly zwitterionic. Secondary or tertiary amines formed triply C2-symmetric Ti3(tartrate)4(amine)2(OiPr)4 assemblies. Some minor components were believed to be μ-OiPr species. All mixed complexes except Ti(tartrate)2(Hdmae)2 contained chelating and bridging tartrate units, without coordination by ester carbonyls. A nonchelating, nonbridging tartrate unit was also present in the amino alcohol cases. Primary amines, aromatic amines, and hydrazines all failed to provide identifiable complexes. As well, N,N-dibenzylhydroxylamine failed to generate in solution the complex that had previously been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Amidst the rich chemistry of TiIV-tartrate systems, the evident selectivities in product formation were ascribed to macro-ring closures that are specifically directed by the electronic nature of the addend. Transient OiPr-bridged intermediates were also implicated. Keywords: mixed TiIV alkoxides, chiral TiIV alkoxides, enantiospecific complexation.

Various physical measurements and quantum-mechanical computations to characterize molecular 2-propanone(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)hydrazone, alias acetone-picrylhydrazine (AH), are reported, including an X-ray diffraction structural determination, an 1H and 13C NMR study of its internal hindered reorientation, and a theoretical (SCF-MO) interpretation of these observations. The structure of AH was determined by X-ray crystallography. The space group is Pbar over 1, with a = 10.1768(9) Å, b = 7.7968(18) Å, c = 8.0018(5) Å, α = 92.102(6)°, β = 99.919(7)°, γ = 105.926(6)°, Z = 2, wR2(F2) = 0.1995 based on all 2748 unique reflections. The (picryl) proton NMR thermal work yielded a Gibbs activation energy ΔG‡ = 46.9 ± 0.4 kJ mol-1 in acetone-d6 and 48.1 ± 0.2 kJ mol-1 in chloroform-d, whereas 13C NMR (two pairs in the picryl ring) yielded 46.6 ± 1.0 and 46.4 ± 1.0 kJ mol-1 in acetone-d6. The SCF-MO computations yielded a detailed model of the conformerization path. Various model conformations and tautomers of AH have been considered, as has removal of H+ or of H0 from its hydrazinic linkage.Key words: dynamic NMR, picrylhydrazone, hindered rotation, activation parameters, SCF-MO model.

The hydrogen peroxide oxidation of thiocyanate ion in cis- and trans-[Coen2NH3NCS]2+ leads to the formation of the corresponding cis- and trans-cyanoammine- and diamminebis(ethylenediamine)cobalt-(III) complexes. The spectral properties of the previously unreported trans-[Coe2NH3CN]2+ are reported and compared to the spectral properties of the cis-isomer.Observations are made concerning the reaction conditions which favor a high percent conversion of trans-[Coen2NH3NCS]2+ to trans-[Coen2NH3CN]2+.

In aqueous solution above pH 2.4 with 4% (vol/vol) CH3CN, the complex [RuII(bda)(isoq)2] (bda is 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylate; isoq is isoquinoline) exists as the open-arm chelate, [RuII(CO2-bpy-CO2−)(isoq)2(NCCH3)], as shown by 1H and 13C-NMR, X-ray crystallography, and pH titrations. Rates of water oxidation with the open-arm chelate are remarkably enhanced by added proton acceptor bases, as measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV). In 1.0 M PO43–, the calculated half-time for water oxidation is ∼7 μs. The key to the rate accelerations with added bases is direct involvement of the buffer base in either atom–proton transfer (APT) or concerted electron–proton transfer (EPT) pathways.
