Increased conformational rigidity of humic substances by oxidative biomimetic catalysis
A synthetic water-soluble meso-tetra(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinate of iron(III) chloride, Fe(TDCPPS)Cl, was employed as a biomimetic catalyst in the oxidative coupling of terrestrial humic materials. High-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS-(13)C NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFT) were used to follow conformational and structural changes brought about in different humic materials by the oxidative coupling. Increase in apparent weight-average molecular weight (Mw(a)) occurred invariably for all humic substances with the oxidative polymerization catalyzed …
Coordination properties of imino(2-pyridyl)methylpalladium(II) compounds. Reactions with the chloride-bridged allyl dimers [MCl(η3-2-MeC3H4)]2 (MPd, Pt)
Abstract The imino(2-pyridyl)methylpalladium(II) compounds py-2-CR 1 NR [R 1 = trans -PdCl(PPh 3 ) 2 , R = C 6 H 4 OMe- p ( Ia ), Me ( Ib ), CMe 3 ( Ic ); R 1 = Pd(dmtc)(PPh 3 ), R = C 6 H 4 OMe- p ( Id )] react with [MCl(η 3 - 2-MeC 3 H 4 )] 2 (M = Pd, Pt) in a molar ratio 1/0.5 and in the presence of NaClO 4 to yield the binuclear cationic complexes II , [M(η 3 -2-MeC 3 H 4 )(py-2-CR 1 NR)]ClO 4 , where the α-diimino group acts as σ,σ N , N ′ chelating ligand. In the absence of NaClO 4 and with a molar ratio 1/1, the reaction leads initially to formation of a ionic intermediate A , [M(η 3 - 2-MeC 3 H 4 )(py-2-CR 1 NR)] [MCl 2 (η 3 -2-MeC 3 H 4 )], which subsequently undergoes exchange …
