Doublet Splitting

Diarylthallium hydroxides react very smoothly in organic solvents with hydroquinones to stable paramagnetic complexes. This reaction has been investigated with two ligands and several organometallic compounds in 8 different solvents. In basic solutions clearly two paramagnetic species can be detected by ESR spectroscopy. One component exhibits a large doublet splitting assigned to the thallium counterion and the second radical does not show any metal coupling. The relative concentrations of both radicals depend strongly on the solvent and the temperature. Therefore, a slow equilibrium betw een a contact ion pair and a solvent separated ion pair is assumed. The thermodynamic parameters are determined to ⊿H = 0.8 kcal/mol, ⊿G293 = -0.1 kcal/mol, ⊿S = 3.04 cl/mol. The proton and thallium coupling constants as well as the g-value of the contact ion pair show a rem arkable temperature dependence. The signs of proton splitting constants are determined by ENDOR-TRIPLE investigations. The change of the electronic structure of the radical anion by formation of a contact ion pair is discussed. For interpretation of these results we assumed a fast equilibrium between different conformations of the contact ion pair according to behaviour of comparable aroxyl radicals. Therefore, the systems investigated allow a simultaneous observation of solvent separated and different contact ion pairs.

The Difference

Semiquinone radical anions are prototype compounds for contact ion pair formation with metal counter cations. In order to investigate the still open question whether bulky alkyl groups can sterically interfere, diphenoquinone derivatives O=C(RC=CH)2C=C(HC=CR)2C=O with R = C(CH3)3, CH(CH3)2 and CH3 have been selected and the following ESR/ENDOR results are obtained for the alkaline metal cations: The tetrakis(tert-butyl)-substituted radical anion only adds Li⊕ and Na⊕, while K⊕ forms no ion pair. The 3,3ʹ,5,5ʹ-tetra(isopropyl)diphenoquinone radical anion is accessible to all cations Me⊕, although Rb⊕ and Cs⊕ seem to be present solvent-separated in solution. The tetramethyl-substituted radical anion unfortunately polymerizes rapidly. Additional information concerns the ESR/ENDOR proof for ion triple radical cation formation [Li⊕ M•⊖Li⊕]•⊕, or the difference in the coupling constants upon Me⊕ docking at one δ⊖O=C group, suggesting that about 87% of the spin density is located in the cation-free molecular half of the diphenoquinone radical anion. Based on the wealth of ESR/ENDOR information, crystallization of the contact ion pairs and their structural characterization should be attempted.

Contact Ion Pairs

Association equilibria in aqueous solutions of the salts Be(NO3)2, Ca(NO3)2 Sr(NO3)2, Ba(NO3)2 and Al(NO3)3 have been studied through band shape and component band analysis of the non-degenerate, Raman-active V1 vibrational band of the nitrate ion. Band contributions due to the aquated nitrate ion, solvent-separated ion pair, and contact ion pair were made for all salts. The nature of the contact ion pair was shown to be different in the presence of Be2+ and Al3+ from that seen for the other salts. This difference was associated with a strongly directional perturbation of the nitrate ion. For all salts the solvent-separated ion pair species was present in the lowest concentration solution studied (as low as 0.05 M). At intermediate concentrations the solvent separated ion pair species was the dominant solution species while at the higher concentrations the species with anion and cation in contact becomes appreciable. For solutions of Ca(NO3)2 some evidence for a more extensive ion aggregate was found at the highest concentration (5M). Equilibrium quotients calculated from the spectroscopic components are in reasonable agreement with previous values determined by equilibrium and transport measurements, and it is suggested that these previous determinations detected the presence of solvent-separated ion pairs rather than contact ion pairs.

Spectroscopic techniques such as UV/vis, NMR, and Raman are powerful tools for the investigation of chemical speciation in solution. However, it is not widely recognized that such techniques do not always provide reliable information about ion association equilibria. Specifically, spectroscopic measurements do not in general produce thermodynamically meaningful association constants for non-contact ion pairs, where the ions are separated by one or more solvent molecules. Such systems can only be properly quantified by techniques such as dielectric or ultrasonic relaxation, which can detect all ion-pair types (or equilibria), or by traditional thermodynamic methods, which detect the overall level of association. Various types of quantitative data are presented for metal ion/sulfate systems in aqueous solution that demonstrate the inadequacy of the major spectroscopic techniques for the investigation of systems that involve solvent-separated ion pairs. The implications for ion association equilibria in general are briefly discussed.

The influence of primary and secondary recombination on the γ-ray-induced conductivity of liquid n-hexane is studied experimentally and theoretically. Conductivity measurements were made with a parallel-plate ionization chamber, varying the electrical field, the electrode distance and the dose rate. The primary recombination can be explained with a theory developed by ONSAGER for the recombination of single ion pairs in dense gases, whereas JAFFE’S theory of column ionization is not applicable. Independent of the ion mobilities, for hexane in absence of an electric field a G-value of 0,13 ± 0,01 for the ion pairs escaping primary recombination is obtained; this corresponds to a mean escape probability of 3% and a mean effective initial distance of the ions in an ion pair of 80 mµ. Finally, the applicability of liquid-filled ionization chambers for dosimetry is discussed.

AbstractThe extent of contact and solvent shared ion pairs of phosphate groups with Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in aqueous environment and their relevance for the stability of polyanionic DNA and RNA structures is highly debated. Employing the asymmetric phosphate stretching vibration of dimethyl phosphate (DMP), a model system of the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA and RNA, we present linear infrared, femtosecond infrared pump-probe and absorptive 2D-IR spectra that report on contact ion pair formation via the presence of blue shifted spectral signatures. Compared to the linear infrared spectra, the nonlinear spectra reveal contact ion pairs with increased sensitivity because the spectra accentuate differences in peak frequency, transition dipole moment strength, and excited state lifetime. The experimental results are corroborated by long time scale MD simulations, benchmarked by density functional simulations on phosphate-ion-water clusters. The microscopic interpretation reveals subtle structural differences of ion pairs formed by the phosphate group and the ions Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+. Intricate properties of the solvation shell around the phosphate group and the ion are essential to explain the experimental observations. The present work addresses a challenging to probe topic with the help of a model system and establishes new experimental data of contact ion pair formation, thereby underlining the potential of nonlinear 2D-IR spectroscopy as an analytical probe of phosphate-ion interactions in complex biological systems.

Abstract Reduction of naturally occurring para-and ortho-benzoquinone derivatives M to their respective radical anions M·⊖ can be accomplished under largely aprotic conditions either by cautious low-temperature reaction in THF containing an excess of (2.2.2) cryptand at a potassium mirror or by using the "mild" single electron transfer reagent tetrabutylammonium boranate R4N⊕BH4⊖ in DMF. On addition of soluble alkali tetraphenylborates Me⊕[B(C6H5)4]⊖ , their hitherto unknown radical ion pairs [M·⊖ Me⊕]· and/or triple ion radical cations [Me⊕M·⊖Me⊕]·⊕ form, which might be of biological relevance in molecular carrier and "turn off -turn on" switch processes. On addition of metal perchlorates Me⊕n(ClO4⊖)n with multiply charged counter cations Me⊕n the respective paramagnetic species [M·⊖Me⊕n]·(n-1)⊕ result. Assuming exclusive one-electron transfer reductions without any redox fragmentation reac­tions, ESR, ENDOR and GENERAL TRIPLE spectra are presented and discussed for the following radical anions and radical ion pairs: mitomycin C (M·⊖ and [M·⊖Mex⊕]·(x-1)⊕ with Me⊕ = Li⊕, Na⊕), streptonigrine (M·⊖ and [M·⊖Lix⊕]·(x-1)⊕), Entobex® (M·⊖ and [M·⊖Me⊕n]·(n-1)⊕ with Me⊕n = Li⊕, Na⊕, Cd⊕⊕, (H5C6)2Tl⊕) as well as brucinequinone ([M·⊖ Me⊕n]·(n-1)⊕ with Me⊕n = Li⊕, Cd⊕⊕, Pb⊕⊕, La⊕⊕⊕).

Molecular dynamics simulations of hyaluronic acid and heparin brushes are presented that show important effects of ion-pairing, water dielectric decrease, and co-ion exclusion. Results show equilibria with electroneutrality attained through screening and pairing of brush anionic charges by cations. Most surprising is the reversal of the Donnan potential that would be expected based on electrostatic Boltzmann partitioning alone. Water dielectric decrement within the brush domain is also associated with Born hydration-driven cation exclusion from the brush. We observe that the primary partition energy attracting cations to attain brush electroneutrality is the ion-pairing or salt-bridge energy associated with cation-sulfate and cation-carboxylate solvent-separated and contact ion pairs. Potassium and sodium pairing to glycosaminoglycan carboxylates and sulfates consistently show similar abundance of contact-pairing and solvent-separated pairing. In these crowded macromolecular brushes, ion-pairing, Born-hydration, and electrostatic potential energies all contribute to attain electroneutrality and should therefore contribute in mean-field models to accurately represent brush electrostatics.

The base-catalyzed rearrangement of arylindenols is a rare example of a suprafacial [1,3]-hydrogen atom transfer. The mechanism has been proposed to proceed via sequential [1,5]-sigmatropic shifts, which occur in a selective sense and avoid an achiral intermediate. A computational analysis using quantum chemistry casts serious doubt on these suggestions: these pathways have enormous activation barriers and in constrast to what is observed experimentally, they overwhelmingly favor a racemic product. Instead we propose that a suprafacial [1,3]-prototopic shift occurs in a two-step deprotonation/reprotonation sequence. This mechanism is favored by 15 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup> over that previously proposed. Most importantly, this is also consistent with stereospecificity since reprotonation occurs rapidly on the same p-face. We have used explicitly-solvated molecular dynamics studies to study the persistence and condensed-phase dynamics of the intermediate ion-pair formed in this reaction. Chirality transfer is the result of a particularly resilient contact ion-pair, held together by electrostatic attraction and a critical NH···p interaction which ensures that this species has an appreciable lifetime even in polar solvents such as DMSO and MeOH.
