Synthesis, crystal structure, DFT and biological activity of E-pyrene-1-carbaldehyde oxime and E-2-naphthaldehyde oxime

2020

Abstract The aldoximes E-pyrene-1-carbaldehyde oxime 1 and E-2-naphthaldehyde oxime 2 were synthesized, in ca. 90% yield, by treatment of pyrene-1-carbaldehyde or 2-naphthaldehyde, respectively, with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium carbonate in MeOH. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by IR, 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopies, elemental analyses and single crystal X-ray diffraction (in the case of 1). The studied system (compound 1) showed significant amounts of H⋯H (44.4%), C⋯H (25.4%) and C⋯C (13.3%) intermolecular interactions in addition to the short N⋯H (5.9%) and O⋯H (6.2%) intermolecular interactions. These interactions affect the molecular packing of the studied system in th…

Supramolecular assemblies and photophysical properties of ionic homo- and heteronuclear metallophilic complexes

2019

Abstract The synthesis of two dinuclear ionic complexes with chemical formula [Au(PR 3 ) 2 ][Au(C ≡ CC 5 H 4 N-4) 2 ] that contain the water soluble phosphines, PR 3 , PTA (1, 3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane, 1 ) and DAPTA (3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, 2 ) is herein described. The differences on their intermolecular reorganization have been analyzed and compared with the previously reported for the neutral complexes [Au(PR 3 )(C ≡ CC 5 H 4 N-4)]. It has been evidenced that the reorganization of the ligands giving rise to the dinuclear ionic complexes produces a complete change in the properties giving rise to Au⋯Au intermolecular assemblies. These aurophilic conta…

Corrosion inhibition performance of a structurally well-defined 1,2,3-triazole derivative on mild steel-hydrochloric acid interface

2021

Abstract In the present work, a new 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole product, named 4-[1-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-morpholine (MPTM) was successfully synthesized under click chemistry regime. The structure of the new compound that has a rigid triazole moiety and a flexible morpholine ligand has been characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and FTIR spectroscopy. Its inhibition performance for mild steel in acidic medium 1 M HCl has been studied by utilizing a combination of experimental, spectroscopic and computational methods. The electrochemical characterization was carried out by a gravimetric study, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynam…

A metal-free and regioselective approach to (Z)-β-fluorovinyl sulfones and their chemoselective hydrogenation to β-fluoroalkyl sulfones

2018

Abstract A highly regioselective, metal-free hydrofluorination reaction of alkynyl sulfones was developed using TBAF—one of the cheapest and most commonly available fluoride sources. In addition, the reactivity of the resulting β-fluorovinyl sulfones was studied, focusing on their selective hydrogenation reaction. Both β-fluorovinyl sulfones and their hydrogenation products β-fluoroalkyl sulfones may find applications in medicinal and agrochemical sciences.

Cobaltocenium substituents as electron acceptors in photosynthetic model dyads

2017

Abstract Cobaltocenium carboxylic acid hexafluorophosphate has been attached to a zinc(II) meso-tetraphenyl porphyrin chromophore via an amide linkage. Optical and electrochemical studies reveal that the metallocene and the porphyrin interact only negligibly in the ground state of the dyad. Photoinduced charge-shift from the zinc porphyrin to the cobaltocenium substituent to give the zinc porphyrin radical cation and the cobaltocene occurs upon exciting the porphyrin with light. Steady state emission, time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption pump–probe spectroscopy in addition to density functional theory calculations suggest that the charge shift to the cobaltocenium substituent…

The hetero-cubane structures of the heavy alkali metal tert-amyloxides [MOCMe2Et]4 (M = K, Rb, Cs)

2018

A series of alkali metal (Li–Cs) alkoxides of tert-pentanol (1,1-dimethylpropan-1-ol) have been prepared by reaction of the corresponding metal with the alcohol in n-hexane or n-heptane. The compounds were purified by vacuum sublimation and crystallised in n-hexane to produce crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The structures of the potassium, rubidium, and caesium compounds revealed tetrameric units with additional intra- and intermolecular interactions between the metal atom and alkoxide methyl groups, increasing with the size of the metal involved.

[Bis(phosphonio)isophosphindolide]silver complexes

1996

The outcome of reactions of bis(phosphonio)isophosphindolide salts 1[X] and 6[X] (X- Cl-, Br-, CF3SO3-) with silver salts AgY (Y- = CF3SO3-, CF3CO2-, CH3CO2-, 1/2 SO4-) depends strongly on the available anions X, Y. If X-, Y- CF3SO3-, both mononuclear and dinuclear silver complexes are formed which exhibit either μ1,μ1(P) or μ2,η1(P) coordination of the cations 1, 6 to one or to both metals. In solution, dynamic equilibria between both types of products and free 1, 6 were detected by 31P-NMR spectroscopy. Mononuclear (4a, 7) and dinuclear (5a, 8) complexes were isolated as solvates with CHCl3 or THF. If X-, Y- = CF3CO2, only equilibrium mixtures between the free ligands and silver complexes…

Substitution of the laser borane anti-B18H22 with pyridine: a structural and photophysical study of some unusually structured macropolyhedral boron h…

2018

Reaction of anti-B18H221 with pyridine in neutral solvents gives sparingly soluble B16H18-3',8'-Py23a as the major product (ca. 53%) and B18H20-6',9'-Py22 (ca. 15%) as the minor product, with small quantities of B18H20-8'-Py 4 (ca. 1%) also being formed. The three new compounds 2, 3a and 4 are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and by multinuclear multiple-resonance NMR spectroscopy. Compound 2 is of ten-vertex nido:ten-vertex arachno two-atoms-in-common architecture, long postulated for a species with borons-only cluster constitution, but previously elusive. Compound 3a is of unprecedented ten-vertex nido:eight-vertex arachno two-atoms-in-common architecture. The si…

Kinetic and Electrochemical Studies of the Oxidative Addition of Demanding Organic Halides to Pd(0): the Efficiency of Polyphosphane Ligands in Low P…

2013

International audience; Oxidative addition (OA) of organic halides to palladium(0) species is a fundamental reaction step which initiates the C–C bond formation catalytic processes typical of Pd(0)/Pd(II) chemistry. The use of structurally congested polyphosphane ligands in palladium-catalyzed C–C bond formation has generated very high turnover numbers (TONs) in topical reactions such as Heck, Suzuki, Sonogashira couplings, and direct sp2C–H functionalization. Herein, the OA of aryl bromides to Pd(0) complexes stabilized by ferrocenylpolyphosphane ligands L1 (tetraphosphane), L2 (triphosphane), and L3 (diphosphane) is considered. The investigation of kinetic constants for the addition of Ph…
