Electrospray ionization was employed to study the mass spectrometric behavior of the maleonitrile tetrathiacrown ethers mn12S(4) (1) and mn13S(4) (2) and maleonitrile pentathiacrown ether mn15S(5) (3) and of their complexes with various metal salts (MX2, M=Pd, Pt, Ni, Co, Fe; X=Cl, CrCl3, Ni(BF4)(2), TIPF6 or Cd(NO3)(2)) and Cu(SO3CF3)(2). Both singly charged, [MXL](+) and [MXL2]+, and doubly charged complexes, [MLn](2+) (n = 2-5), were observed. The formation of the different complexes consisting of the transition metal ion, the counterion and the various crown ethers and their subsequent dissociation was also studied by collision-induced dissociation measurements which were also used to evaluate the relative stabilities of the complexes. It was found that the collisional voltages for the dissociation of the complexes were generally greater in the [MXL](+) complexes than in the corresponding [MXL2]+ complexes.

Variously substituted tolanes were employed to show that the push-pull effect is also active in C equivalent to C triple bonds by the successful correlation of the occupation quotient pi*/pi of the pi orbital in resonance with the substituted phenyl moieties of tolanes versus the bond length of the C equivalent to C triple bond. In addition, the influences of the ortho phenyl ring substituents on the C-13 chemical shifts of the triple bond carbon atoms, which were estimated by Rubin et al.(4) to be "inapplicable for describing triple bond polarization", were re-evaluated, leading to the conclusion that, while anisotropic effects of ortho substituents are negligible, the steric ortho-substituent effects do in fact dominate the deviations obtained. A detailed theoretical NBO/NCS study has been employed to illuminate the facts of this case
The regioselectivities of methyl- and phenylhydrazine with acridin-9-yl isothiocyanate (thus yielding thiosemicarbazides with acridine substituted on the urea-type side) were examined. Methythydrazine regioselectivity was high with the alpha-nitrogen atom overwhelmingly more nucleophilic than the beta-nitrogen atom; phenylhydrazine regioselectivity was poor but varied with the solvent and only in the case of ethanol was nucleophilic predominance of the alpha-nitrogen atom pronounced. Of note, whilst both phenyl thiosemicarbazides were present in solution only as spiro forms, the methyl product was present as an equilibrium mixture of open-chain and spiro thiosemicarbazides. Reactions on the NH2 blocked analogue of methyl acridin-9-ylthiosemicarbazide (1-isopropylidene-2- methylthiosemicarbazide) were also examined. Interestingly, present in the starting material itself was a structural motif of novelty wherein a triazolethione represented the major species of an equilibrium between cyclic and open-chain forms
The crystal and molecular structures of sodium and barium complexes of dibenzo-24-crown-8 ether
(2006)
The sodium and barium isothiocyanate complexes of 6,7,9,10,12,13,20,21,23,24,26,27-dodecahydrodibenzo[b,n]- 1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22-octaoxacyclotetracosin (dibenzo-24-crown-8 ether = DB24C8) were synthesized and analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The sodium complex, [Na(DB24C8)(NCS)(H2O)] 1, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with 16 molecules in the unit cell. The coordination number of Na is 6 and the central ion is located in a distorted octahedric environment. Only four of the crown ether oxygen atoms are involved. The coordination polyhedron is completed by the isothiocanate anion and by a water molecule, which is stabilized by hydrogen bonds. The barium complex, [Ba(DB24C8)(NCS)(2)] 2, crystallizes in the trigonale space group P3(1)21 with 3 molecules in the unit cell. Crystallographic C-2 symmetry is observed for the complex. The coordination number of Ba is 10. Barium is coordinated with the eight oxygen atoms of the macrocyclic ligand and with two isothiocyanate anions. The absolute structure was estimated using the FLACK parameter
Different chemical and enzymatic methods were applied for the hydrolysis of main stems from Lupinus nootkatensis (harvest November 2002). The whole process (all steps) is based on the lignocellulose-feedstock biorefinery regime. The acid hydrolysis of L. was performed with concentrated hydrochloric acid; advantages in this process are exothermic hydrolysis and the possibility of acid recovery. Enzymatic hydrolysis achieved high yields of fermentable carbohydrates (regarding to input cellulose) with high selectivity. However, this way requires the generation of cellulose from L. by chemical pulping. Monosaccharide derivatives thus obtained were identified by their GC retention times and the corresponding MS fragmentation. Hexamethyldisilazane was used as derivatization reagent to prepare the trimethylsilyl derivatives of the carbohydrates and of the degradations products of cellulose from the different fractions. The glucose content was quantified by GC peak integration with respect to an internal standard.
A new synthetic approach to 2,3-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazine derivatives based upon reductive rearrangement of 1,2- dithiole-3-ylidene thiones has been developed. In turn, the 1,2-dithiole derivatives were prepared by an efficient ring- opening-closing process of 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines, induced in the presence of Lawesson's reagent by intramolecular non-bonded 1,5-type S...O interactions in the 4-oxothiazolidine precursors.
The trans diesters of 1,4-cyclohexanediol with a number of acetic acid analogues, CX3COOH, of varying steric hindrance and polarity (CX3 = Me, Et, iso-Pr, tert-Bu, CF3, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3, CH2Br, CHBr2, CBr3) were synthesized, and the axial, axial/equatorial, equatorial conformational equilibria were studied by low-temperature H-1 NMR spectroscopy in CD2Cl2. The structures and relative energies of the axial, axial and equatorial, equatorial conformers were calculated at both the MP2/6-311G* and the MP2/6-311+G* levels of theory, and it was only by including diffuse functions that a good correlation of Delta G degrees(calcd) vs Delta G(exptl) could be obtained. Both the structures and the energy differences of the axial, axial and equatorial, equatorial conformers are discussed with respect to the established models of conformational analysis, viz., steric 1,3-diaxial and hyperconjugative interactions. Interestingly, the hyperconjugative interactions sigma(C-C)/sigma(C-H)->sigma*(C-O), together with a steric effect which also destabilizes the equatorial, equatorial conformers on increasing bulk of the substituents, proved to dominate the position of the conformational equilibria. In addition, the preference of the axial, axial conformers with respect to their equatorial, equatorial analogues was greater than expected from the conformational energies of the corresponding substituents in the monosubstituted cyclohexyl esters. The reason for this very interesting and unexpected result is also discussed
CAMPHOR: A GOOD MODEL FOR ILLUSTRATING NMR TECHNIQUES. The use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy to establish the three-dimensional structures of molecules is an important component of modern Chemistry courses. The combination of techniques that can be used for this purpose is conveniently illustrated by their application to the camphor molecule. This paper presents applications of several techniques used in NMR spectral interpretation in an increasing order of complexity. The result of individual experiments is illustrated in order to familiarize the user with the way connectivity through bonds and through space is established from 1D/2D-NMR spectra and molecular stereochemistry is determined from different NMR experiments
Dynamic 1H NMR (500 MHz) investigation of aryl-N-(arylsulfonyl)-N-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)imidocarbamates in CDCl3, CD3COCD3, and CD3OD at the temperature range of 183-298 K is reported. The observed free energy barriers (almost 12 kcal mol;1) are attributed to conformational isomerization about the NùS bond and these barriers show very little solvent dependence.
The dynamic 1H NMR study of some primary carbamates in the solvents CDCl3 and CD3COCD3 between 183 and 298 K is reported. The free energies of activation, thus obtained (12.4 to 14.3 kcal mol-1), were attributed to the conformational isomerization about the N-C bond. These barriers to rotation show solvent dependence in contrast to the tertiary analogues and are lower in free energy by ca. 2-3 kcal mol-1.
The Push-pull character of two series of donor-acceptor triazenes has been quantified by C-13 and N-15 chemical shift differences of the partial N(1)=N(2) and N(3)=C(4) double bonds in the central linking C=N-N=N-C unit and by the quotient of the occupations of both the bonding pi and antibonding orbitals pi* of these partial double bonds. Excellent correlations of the two estimates, to quantify the push-pull effect, with the bond lengths strongly recommend the occupation quotients pi*/pi, the N-15 chemical shift differences Delta delta[N(l),N(2)], and the corresponding bond lengths as reasonable sensors for quantifying charge alternation along the C=N-N=N-C linking unit, for the donor- acceptor quality of the triazenes 1 and 2 and for the molecular hyperpolarizability beta(0) of these compounds. Within this context, certain Substances can be strongly recommended for NLO application.
Molecular modeling calculations using DFT at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory have been performed on diastereomeric complexes formed between chiral carboxylate anions and chiral urea receptors, a combination previously demonstrated to enable enantiodifferentiation by electrochemical sensing. The calculations correctly predicted the stability order of the enantiomers in acetonitrile solution when the distinction between the enantiomers was above the declared threshold reliability value of 1 kcal mol;1 for computations at this level of theory. Thus, the calculations can not only be applied to predict the likely success of undertakings using the analytical method, it can also, provided ;E is sufficient, potentially be used to determine the absolute configuration of chiral analytes with at least the racemate in hand. The previously successful enantiodifferentiations of various amino acids and alcohols using chiral ion mobility spectroscopy (CIMS) with (S)-2-butanol as the chiral selector were also evaluated by DFT calculations. The calculations again correctly predicted the stability order of the enantiomers when the calculated ;E was above the threshold value though cases not providing a value for ;E above the threshold value was problematic for this system. Attempts to address this shortcoming included an expanded conformational evaluation, a broader analytical approach, and an extended basis set.
Multinuclear dynamic NMR spectroscopy of 5-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-1,3,5-dioxaazinane (4) revealed the existence of two close in energy chair conformers with differently oriented CF3 groups with respect to the ring. Of the two alternative routes for their interconversion, the ring inversion path with intermediate formation of the corresponding 2,5-twist-conformer is preferred, with the energy barrier of 11.2 kcal/mol in excellent agreement with the experimental value (11.7 kcal/mol). The Perlin effect is studied experimentally and calculated theoretically for all CH2 groups and found to be subject to the nature of the adjacent heteroatoms O and N, respectively.
The spatial magnetic properties (Through Space NMR Shieldings - TSNMRS) of two cyclobutadiene derivatives (2 and 5) and of a number of cyclobutadiene dianion derivatives (3, 4 and 6-8) have been calculated by the GIAO perturbation method employing the Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) concept of P. v. Ragué Schleyer, and visualized as Iso-Chemical-Shielding Surfaces (ICSS) of various size and direction. TSNMRS values can be successfully employed to quantify and visualize the (anti)aromaticity of the compounds studied and to discuss the influence of Li+ complexation to cyclobutadiene dianion (4a, 7 and 8) on planar 4c,6e or three-dimensional 6c,6e aromaticity.
A new series of unsubstituted and substituted pyridinium salts bearing a 4-oxothiazolidinyl moiety has been prepared by an efficient rearrangement of 2-(1-bromoalkylidene)thiazolidin-4-ones. The process in based on three steps, namely carbon-bromine cleavage, bromine transfer, and substitution, each induced by pyridine or its derivatives, acting as base and reactant.
The stereodynamic behaviour of 1-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)piperidine 1, 4-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)morpholine 2, 1,4-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)piperazine 3 and 4-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide 4 was studied by low-temperature 1H, 13C and 19F NMR spectroscopies. In acetone solution, compounds 1, 2 and 4 were found to exist as mixtures of two conformers in the ratio of 4:1, 4:1 and 8:1, respectively, differing by orientation of the CF3 group with respect to the ring. Compound 3 exists as a mixture of three conformers in the ratio of 3:28:69 also differing by the orientation of the two CF3 groups. Unlike the previously studied N-trifyl substituted 1,3,5-triheterocyclohexanes, the preferred conformers of compound 1 and of 1,4-diheterocyclohexanes 2-4 are those with the CF3 group directed outward from the ring, which is caused by intramolecular interactions of the oxygen atoms of the CF3SO2N groups with the equatorial hydrogens in the ;-position. B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) calculations of the energy, geometry and NMR parameters corroborate the experimental data. The calculated Perlin effects for all conformers of compounds 1-4 as well as those measured for the major conformers of compounds 3 and 4 were analyzed by the use of the NBO analysis.
The through space NMR shielding (TSNMRS) values of two tricyclobutabenzene (TCBB) derivatives 2, of the corresponding hexamethylene and hexaoxo TCBB derivatives 3, of [4n]annuleno[4n + 2]annulene 5 and of its tricyclobutadiene parent compound 4 have been ab initio calculated by the GIAO perturbation method employing the nucleus- independent chemical shift (NICS) concept of Paul von Ragué Schleyer, and visualized as iso-chemical shielding surfaces (ICSS). TSNMRS values can be successfully employed to quantify and visualize the aromaticity of the central, and in 5 also of the terminal benzene ring moieties.
The electron ionization (EI) mass spectra of a variety of stereoisomeric tricyclic 1,3,2-oxazaphosphino[4,3- a]isoquinolines (1-4), 1,2,3-oxathiazino[4,3-a]isoquinoline-4-oxides (5-7) and the -4,4-dioxides (8-10) of oxazaphospholo- and oxathiazolo[4,3-a]- (11, 12, 15 and 16) and -[3,4-b]isoquinolines (13, 14 and 17) were recorded. Ring size and fusion, the different heteroatoms (P and S) and substituents on the ring systems strongly influence the mass spectra. In addition, mass spectra of the stereoisomers of compounds 1, 2 and 13, 14 revealed stereochemically relevant differences which are not observed for the other pairs of isomers.

The cyclizations of tetrahydroisoquinoline 1,2-amino alcohols with phenylphosphonic dichloride, bis(2- chloroethyl)phosphoramidic dichloride, thionyl chloride and sulfuryl chloride were utilized to synthesize 1,5,6,10b- tetrahydro-1,3,2-oxazaphospholo[4,3-a]isoquinolines (2, 3), 1,5,10,10a-tetrahydro-1,3,2-oxazaphospholo[3,4- b]isoquinolines (8, 9), 1,5,6,10b-tetrahydro-1,2,3-oxathiazolo[4,3-a]isoquinolines (4-6) anda 1,5,10,10a-tetrahydro- 1,2,3-oxathiazolo[3,4-b]isoquinoline (11), which are the first representatives of these ring systems. NMR spectroscopic analysis revealed the existence of conformational equilibria that are fast on the NMR timescale. Theoretical DFT calculations pointed to the participation of generally two preferred conformers in the conformational equilibria; the positions of the equilibria were indicated by the experimental NMR spectroscopic parameters, and they are in good agreement with the theoretically calculated energy differences of the participating conformers. For two compounds, which could be not isolated (10, 12), both the preferred conformers and the stereochemistry could be concluded from the DFT calculation results.
The complex formation of the ligands 1,12-diazaperylene (dap), 1,1-bisisoquinoline (bis), 2,2-bipyridine (bpy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) with transition metal ions (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ru, Os, Re, Pd, Pt, Ag and Cd) in the gas phase has been studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. With the exception of Ru, Os, Fe, Ni and Cu, singly charged complexes [MLn]+ (n = 1,2) were observed. The complexes of dap and bis with Ru, Os, Fe and Ni ions, and the mixed ligand complexes with bpy and phen, are preferably of the doubly charged type [ML3]2+. In addition, collision- induced dissociation (CID) measurements were employed to evaluate the relative stabilities of these complexes. The CID experiments of mixed-ligand complexes which contain both dap and phen or dap and bpy exhibit preferential elimination of bpy, indicating that bpy is a weaker ligand than phen and dap.
The through space NMR shielding (TSNMRS) values of adamantane, the 2(N + 1)2 spherical (4c, 2e) homoaromatic compounds 1,3-dehydro-5,7-adamantandiyl dication (C10H122+) and 1,3-dehydro-5,7-cubandiyl dication (C8H42+), and the (6c, 8e) homoaromatic compound 2,2;,4,4;,6,6;,8,8;,10,10;-dehydroadamantane tetracation (C10H44+) have been ab initio calculated, employing the NICS concept, and visualized as iso-chemical shielding surfaces (ICSSs). TSNMRS values can be successfully employed to study both the endohedral and exohedral aromaticity/ antiaromaticity of the compounds studied.
