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.

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.

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.

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.

Reaction of a series of diazonium salts with a mixture of formaldehyde and 1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane affords the 3-({5,5-dimethyl-3-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1-imidazolidinyl}methyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]imidazolidines (1a–1f) in excellent yield. The products have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopic analysis, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The X-ray crystal structure of the p-methoxycarbonyl derivative (1c) establishes without question the connectivity of these novel molecules, which can be described as linear bicyclic oligomers with two imidazolidinyl groups linked together by a one-carbon spacer. This is indeed a rare molecular building block. The molecular structure is corroborated by 1H and 13C NMR data, which correlates with the previously published data of compounds of types 5 and 6 derived from 1,3-propanediamine. The triazene moieties in the crystal of 1c display significant π conjugation, which gives the N—N bond a significant degree of double-bond character. This in turn causes restricted rotation around the N—N bond, which leads to considerable broadening of signals in both the 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The molecular ion of the p-cyanophenyl derivative (1b) was observed using electrospray mass spectrometry (ES + Na). The mechanism of formation of molecules of type 1 is proposed to involve diazonium ion trapping of the previously unreported bisimidazolidinyl methane (13).Key words: triazene, bistriazene, imidazolidine, synthesis, X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy.

1,1,3,3-Tetracyanopropane, 1, was prepared in low yields by a literature method with 2,2,4,4,6-pentacyanocyclohexenamine, 2, as a major by-product. The products were examined by X-ray crystallography. 1 has an orthorhombic space group, Pbcn (No. 60) with cell dimensions, a = 7.158(2), b = 10.510(3), c = 9.733(2) Å and has four formula units in the unit cell. 2 has a monoclinic cell, P21/c (No. 14) with cell dimensions a = 14.368(3), b = 6.626(1), c = 12.300(2) Å, β = 115.60(1)° and has 4 formula units in the unit cell. Data were collected with use of MoKα radiation and a Nicolet P3 diffractometer. The crystal structures were determined by standard methods and refined to Rw = 0.037 (1) and Rw = 0.040 (2) on the basis of 782 and 2108 unique reflections. Bond lengths and angles in the two compounds are normal. 2 has what has been considered to be the less likely tautomeric structure. Both compounds were examined by 1H, 13C nmr, vibrational spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. For 2 there was no evidence of the alternative tautomeric structure. New methods were developed for the preparation of both compounds and the mechanism of the original reaction rationalized.

Two new ZnII(phen)2 complexes with trichloroacetate and acetate anions, [Zn(phen)2(CCl3COO)- (H2O)](ClO4) and [Zn(phen)2(CH3COO)](ClO4), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy. The single crystal X-ray data of these compounds show the Zn atoms to have six-coordinate geometry. From IR spectra and X-ray crystallography it is established that the coordination of the COO− group is different for trichloroacetate and acetate. The former acts as a monodentate whereas the latter acts as a bidentate ligand.

The reaction of dimethylcadmium with alcohols R-OH in equimolar ratio leads to the formation of tetrameric methylcadmium alkoxides with molecular formula [(MeCd)4 (OR)4] [R = Me (1), Et (2) and iPr (3)]. These compounds have been characterised by 1H, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy, by mass spectrometry, elemental analyses and by X-ray crystallography (for 2 and 3). The solid state structures show distorted cubane-type aggregates with Cd4O4 cores. The structural aspects and the spectroscopic characterisations of these compounds are discussed.

Mononuclear Pd(I) species are putative intermediates in Pd-catalyzed reactions, but our knowledge about them is limited due to difficulties in accessing them. Herein, we report the isolation of a Pd(I) amido complex, [(BINAP)Pd(NHArTrip )] (BINAP = 2,2′- bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene, ArTrip = 2,6-bis(2’,4’,6’-triisopropylphenyl)phenyl), from the reaction of (BINAP)PdCl2 with LiNHArTrip. This Pd(I) amido species has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, electron paramagnetic resonance, and multi-edge Pd Xray absorption spectroscopy. Theoretical study revealed that, while the 3-electron-2-center π interaction between Pd and N in the Pd(I) complex imposes severe Pauli repulsion in its Pd–N bond, pronounced attractive inter-ligand dispersion force aids its stabilization. In accord with its electronic features, reactions of homolytic Pd–N bond cleavage and deprotonation of primary amines are observed on the Pd(I) amido complex.

Benzo-9-crown-3 ether trimerizes in the presence of FeCl3 and aqueous H2SO4 to produce tris(9-crown-3)triphenylene in 25.4% yield. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group: a = 13.759(2) Å, b = 13.318(2) Å, c = 13.399(2) Å, β = 96.883(2)°, with Z = 4. The three 9-crown-3 ether units of the trimer possess different geometries and there is substantial deviation from coplanarity in the three aromatic rings. 13C NMR chemical shifts in the solid state are consistent with this lack of symmetry and are discussed in terms of the X-ray crystal-structure data.Key words: crown ether, trimerization, stereochemistry.
