Cyclometallation reactions in complexes of the type Rh(oq)(CO)[P(o-BrC6F4)Ph2]. The molecular structure of F4)Ph2] (oq = 8-hydroxyquinolinate)
1984
Cyclometallation occurs when a solution of the complex Rh(oq)(CO)(PCBr), (PCBr = 2-bromo-3,4,5,6-tetrafluorophenyldiphenylphosphine; oq = 8-hydroxyquinolinate) in toluene is refluxed, giving Rh(oq)2(PC) (PC = P(C6F4)(C6H5)2) and a dimeric compound, not yet completely characterized, formulated as Rh2Br(oq)(PCBr)2. Rh(oq)2(PC) was characterized by elemental analysis, by conductance measurements, and by 19F, 31P NMR and infrared spectroscopy. Its molecular structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray methods and refined by standard procedures to final agreement factors R and Rw of 0.067 and 0.060 for 5346 observed data. Lattice constants are 15.8494(6), 14.7188(5), 14.6675(5) A and β 96.93…
Crystal and molecular structure of the tris(1,10-phenanthroline)potassium salt of μ-hydridobis[pentacarbonylchromium(0)]
1984
Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of [K(phen)3][Cr2(CO)10(μ-H)] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the space group P 1 with a 11.884(4), b 13.968(4), c 15.612(6) A, α 112.6(1), β 99.7(1) and γ 106.2(1)° and Z = 2. The structure was refined to R = 0.066 and RW = 0.067 for 3692 counter data with I ⩾ 3σ(I). The complex anion [Cr2(CO)10(μ-H)] adopts a bent Cr-H-Cr configuration with the equatorial carbonyl groups of the two independent Cr(CO)5 moieties in an eclipsed configuration. The Cr⋯Cr distance is 3.394(3) A and the two CrH bonds are 1.74(7) and 1.71(7) A. The CrHCr bond angle is 159(3)°. In the dimeric complex cation [K(phen)3]2, located …
Copper(ii) and Zn(ii) coordination chemistry of tetraaza[n]cyclophanes
2003
The acid–base behaviour and Zn2+ and Cu2+ metal coordination chemistry of the novel orthocyclophane ligands 2,5,8,11-tetraaza[12]orthocyclophane (L2) and 2,5,9,12-tetraaza[13]orthocyclophane (L3) and metacyclophane 2,5,8,11-tetraaza[12]metacylophane (L1) are studied. Important differences in the chemistry of these compounds are found depending on the substitution of the aromatic ring. The ortho derivatives are much more basic in their first two protonation steps while the metacyclophane presents much larger constants in the third and fourth protonation stages. The crystal structure of the picrate salt of [H2L3]2+ shows an alternate disposition of the protons in the molecule with formation o…
Aluminum complexes of sterically hindered tetradentate Schiff bases: Synthesis, structure, and reactivity toward ɛ-caprolactone
1997
Abstract The sterically hindered Schiff bases tbmSalenH2 [tbmSalen = N,N′-1,2-ethylenebis(3-tert-butyl-5-methylsalicylideneimine)] and tbmSalcenH2 [tbmSalcen = N,N′-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediyl-bis(3-tert-butyl-5-methylsalicylideneimine)] afforded a series of aluminum complexes of the general formulae [Al(tbmSalen)X] and [Al(tbmSalcen)X] (X = Cl, Me, Et). The molecular structure of [Al(tbmSalcen)Cl] was determined by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis which revealed a five-coordinate aluminum center with a distorted square pyramidal geometry. The alkyl complexes were found to oligomerize ɛ-caprolactone.
Theory and Simulation of Multiphase Polymer Systems
2010
The theory of multiphase polymer systems has a venerable tradition. The 'classical' theory of polymer demixing, the Flory-Huggins theory, was developed already in the forties of the last century. It is still the starting point for most current approaches -- be they improved theories for polymer (im)miscibility that take into account the microscopic structure of blends more accurately, or sophisticated field theories that allow to study inhomogeneous multicomponent systems of polymers with arbitrary architectures in arbitrary geometries. In contrast, simulations of multiphase polymer systems are relatively young. They are still limited by the fact that one must simulate a large number of lar…
Monte Carlo methods for polymer chains in two - dimensional geometries (polymers at surfaces and interfaces)
1993
Coarse-grained models of polymers at interfaces can be defined such that their treatment by Monte Carlo simulation is most convenient and efficient for the problem at hand. This simulation strategy is briefly illustrated with three examples: (1) The orientational ordering of rigid rod-like polymers grafted to a surface, where “table methods” can be used, applying a fine discretization of the angles describing rod orientation. (2) Surface enrichment of one species in a polymer blend is treated by a semi-grand-canonical technique. (3) The number of configurations and structure of a star polymer attached with its center to a wall is studied by a “growth technique” generalizing simple sampling …
One‐Dimensional Coordination Polymers of Mn II , Cu II , and Zn II Supported by Carboxylate‐Appended (2‐Pyridyl)alkylamine Ligands – Structure and Ma…
2009
Four new complexes [MnII(L1OO)(H2O)][ClO4]·2H2O (1), [ZnII(L1OO)][ClO4]·2H2O (2), [CuII(L3OO)][CF3SO3]·H2O (3), and [ZnII(L3OO)][ClO4] (4) (L1OO– = 3-[(2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethyl){2-(pyridine-2-yl)methyl}amino]propionate; L3OO– = 3-[(2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethyl){(dimethylamino)ethyl}amino]propionate) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Structural analysis revealed that 1, 3, and 4 are one-dimensional chain-like coordination polymers. In 1 distorted octahedral MnN3O3 and in 3 square-pyramidal CuN3O2 coordination is satisfied by three nitrogen atoms and an appended carboxylate oxygen atom of the ligand, and an oxygen atom belonging to the carboxy…
A magnetic self-contained thermochromic system with convenient temperature range
2019
A new ionic liquid with sugar-based ligand has been prepared and used to coordinate cobalt(II), at low loading, in an ionic liquid solution. The system obtained reveals magnetic switching and marked thermochromism in solution/polymer films over a convenient temperature range (20–60 °C). This system is self-contained, devoid of any volatile substances, and reproducible over multiple thermal cycles. The colour change can be attributed to a change in the coordination geometry from octahedral (pink) at room temperature to tetrahedral (blue) on warming, monitored by 59Co NMR spectroscopy, which was used for the first time to study the change. This material may find applications in stimuli-respon…
Cutting Type and IBA Treatment Duration Affect <i>Teucrium fruticans</i> Adventitious Root Quality
2014
Root development of stem cuttings of Silver Germander (Teucrium fruticans) was investigated in relation to cutting type and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) treatment. Terminal cuttings of a clone grown in Sicily were trimmed to three types: terminal cuttings with apex (TWA), terminal cuttings without apex (TWOA) or sub-terminal cuttings (ST). To verify the cutting response to exogenous auxin, cuttings were dipped to a 2.0 cm depth in a 0.5% indole-3-butyric acid solution for 0, 5 or 7 minutes. Overall percent survival was 97 to 98%. Rooting percent, root number and root length were affected by cutting type and indole-3-butyric acid treatment. In general, TWA cuttings demonstrated a higher capac…

1998
Abstract Zirconium and hafnium complexes M( η 5 : η 1 : η 1 -C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe)Cl 2 (M=Zr, Hf) containing the tridentate 2-methoxyethylamido-functionalized tetramethylcyclopentadienyl ligand C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe have been synthesized by the reaction of the dilithium derivative Li 2 [C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe] with MCl 4 (THF) 2 . Selective monoalkylation of the dichloro complexes gave complexes of the type M( η 5 : η 1 : η 1 -C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe)(R)Cl (R=CH 2 Ph, o -C 6 H 4 CH 2 NMe 2 ). The crystal structure of the hafnium dichloro complex Hf( η 5 : η 1 : η 1 -C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe)Cl 2 has been determined by X-ray crystal diffraction and sho…
