A monoaqua zinc complex. Unique acid dissociation behaviour

Using the I : 2 condensate of benzil dihydrazone and 2-acetylpyridine as the ligand L, two complexes of zinc, [ZnL(CH3COO)]PF6 (1) and [ZnL(H2O)CIO4]CIO4 H2O (2), are synthesised from Zn(CH3COO)(2).2H(2)O and Zn(CIO4)(2).6H(2)O, respectively. From X-ray crystallography, both the complexes are found to be single helical with the metal in distorted octahedral N4O2 environment. In 1, the two oxygen atoms come from the bidentate acetate while 2 is a monoaqua complex with a perchlorate anion bound to the metal in monodentate fashion. The perchlorate in 2 is not at all weakly bound [Zn-O(perchlorate) 2.256(4) A]. Still in acetonitrile solution, the coordinated perchlorate ion dissociates upon deprotonation [reaction (i)].

An eight-coordinate mononuclear double helical complex

From the reaction of Cd(CH3COO)(2)(.)2H(2)O with the 1:2 condensate (L) of benzil dihydrazone and 2-acetylpyridine, [CdL(CH3COO)(H2O)]PF(6)(.)3H(2)O (1) is isolated by adding NH4PF6. L reacts with Cd(ClO4)(2)(.)xH(2)O to yield [CdL2](ClO4)(2). 0.5H(2)O (2). The yellowish complexes 1 and 2 are characterized by NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 is found to be a seven-coordinate single helical complex having a (CdN4O3)-N-II core and homoleptic 2 an eight-coordinate double helical complex with a (CdN8)-N-II core.

Zinc(II) mediated synthesis of an N-substituted 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole from a 1,2-diketone and 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine and its ligational behaviour

Reaction of anhydrous ZnCl2 with the 1:2 condensate (L) of benzil and 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine in methanol gives monomeric ZnL'Cl-2 (1) where L' is 2-[(4,5-diphenyl-2-pyridin-2-yl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-methyl]pyridine. In the X-ray crystal structure, 1 is found to contain tetrahedral zinc with an N2Cl2 coordination sphere and the N-substituent methylpyridine fragment hanging as a free arm. A tentative mechanism is proposed for the zinc mediated conversion of L-->L'. Demetallation of 1 by the action of aqueous NaOH yields L' in the free state. When L' is reacted with Zn(ClO4)(2).6H(2)O in a 1:2 molar proportion, [Zn(L')(2)](n)(ClO4)(2n).(H2O)(n/2).(CH2Cl2)(n/2) (2) is obtained. The zinc atom in 2, as revealed by X-ray crystallography, has a trigonal bipyramidal N-5 coordination sphere. There are two independent ligands in the asymmetric unit of 2. One of them bonds only to one zinc atom in a bidentate mode with the N-substituent methylpyridine hanging free while the other ligand binds to two different zinc atoms in a tridentate fashion, employing the N-substituent methylpyridine nitrogen atom to form the polymeric one-dimensional chain cation.

Metallo-organic domino reactions: C-H versus C-C bond breaking

HL and MeL are prepared by condensing benzil dihydrazone with 2-formylpyridine and 2-acetylpyridine, respectively, in 1:2 molar proportions. While in a reaction with [Ru-(C6H6)Cl-2](2), HL yields the cation [Ru(C6H6){5,6-diphenyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)- 1,2,4-triazine}Cl](+), MeL gives the cation [Ru(C6H6)(MeL)Cl](+). Both the cations are isolated as their hexafluorophosphate salts and characterised by X-ray crystallography. In the case of HL, double domino electrocyclic/elimination reactions are found to occur. The electrocyclic reaction occurs in a C=N-N=C-C=N fragment of HL and the elimination reaction involves breaking of a C-H bond of HL. Density functional calculations on model complexes indicate that the identified electrocyclic reaction is thermochemically as well as kinetically feasible for both HL and MeL in the gas phase. For a double domino reaction, similar to that operative in HL, to occur for MeL, breaking of a C-C bond would be required in the elimination step. Our model calculations show the energy barrier for this elimination step to be much higher (329.1 kJ mol(-1)) for MeL than that for HL (96.3 kJ mol(-1)). Thus, the domino reaction takes place for HL and not for MeL. This accounts for the observed stability of [Ru(C6H6)-(MeL)Cl](+) under the reaction conditions employed.

Mechanical, thermal and morphological characterization of polypropylene/biodegradable polyester blends with additives

The (bio)degradation of polyolefins can be accelerated by modifying the level of crystallinity or by incorporation of carbonyl groups by adding pro-oxidants to masterbatches or through exposure to ultraviolet irradiation. In this work we sought to improve the degradation of PP by adding cobalt, calcium or magnesium stearate to Ecoflex(R), PP or Ecoflex(R)/PP blends. The effect of the pro-oxidants on biodegradability was assessed by examining the mechanical properties and fluidity of the polymers. PP had higher values for tensile strength at break and Young`s modulus than Ecoflex(R), and the latter had little influence on the properties of PP in Ecoflex(R)/PP blends. However, the presence of pro-oxidants (except for calcium) reduced these properties. All of the pro-oxidants enhanced the fluidity of PP, a phenomenon that facilitated polymer degradation at high temperatures. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Entwicklung neuartiger stickstoffreicher Polyphenylene

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden Darstellung und elektronische Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von neuartigen stickstoff- und damit elektronenreichen Poly(para-phenylenen) untersucht. Der Teilbereich „Polycarbazole“ befasst sich mit der Synthese von konjugierten (Stufen)leiterpolymeren auf der Basis von Carbazol. Dazu wurde ein neuer und effizienter Syntheseweg zur Gewinnung von 2,7-Dibromcarbazol entwickelt. Durch die weitere Funktionalisierung von 2,7-Dibromcarbazol gelang es, elektronenreiche Leiterpolymere zu gewinnen, die eine grüne Emissionsfarbe aufwiesen. Mit der Verwendung von R = 2-Decyltetradecyl als löslichkeitsfördernder Seitenkette in einem Poly(2,7-carbazol) konnte erstmals ein hochmolekulares Polycarbazol gewonnen werden. Dieses gut lösliche Poly(2,7-carbazol) erwies sich als ein exzellentes Donatormaterial in Solarzellen, welches in Kombination mit dem Farbstoff PDI eine effiziente Solarzelle ergab. Eine OLED mit einem neuartigen arylierten Polycarbazol als Emittermaterial zeigte eine sehr niedrige Turn-on-Spannung und eine intensive blaue EL-Emission. Das Kapitel über imidazolhaltige Poly(para-phenylene) und Discoten stellt die Darstellung von planarisierten Bisimidazolen vor, welche in hohen Ausbeuten durch eine intramolekulare Buchwald-Reaktion zwischen den Imidazolringen und der zentralen Terphenyleinheit durchgeführte wurde. Die dreistufige Darstellung der Discoten aus einem Terephthalaldehyd-Derivat und einem Benzil erlaubt eine einfache sowie variable Einführung von löslichkeitsfördernden Alkylsubstituenten. Auf diese Weise ist der Zugang zu einer völlig neuartigen Klasse an discotischen Materialien möglich, die eine Kombination aus Discoten auf der Basis von Benzolringen (wie z.B. HBC) mit Heteroaromaten darstellen. Die gewonnenen scheibenförmigen Bisimidazole wiesen dementsprechend auf Selbstanordnung zurückzuführende kolumnare Anordnungen und hexagonale Überstrukturen auf. Im dritten Themengebiet wird der Einbau eines Phthalimidchromophors direkt in das Rückgrad von Polyanilin vorgestellt. Da jegliche Veränderung des Oxidationsgrades zu einer unterschiedlichen Donatorfähigkeit des Polyanilinhauptkette führt, variiert in Abhängigkeit davon das Absorptionsverhalten des eingebauten Farbstoffes. Durch die Einführung des Phthalimidchromophores war es zudem möglich, ein leitfähiges Polymer zu erhalten, das im Gegensatz zum nicht-fluoreszierenden Polyanilin eine intensive gelbe Fluoreszenz (lmax = 547 nm) aufweist.

Finte pelli in PVC: utilizzo e proprietà in mescola di plastificanti e ritardanti di fiamma ecosostenibili e non tossici

Il presente lavoro di tesi sperimentale prende in considerazione diverse possibili alternative ai plastificanti (in particolare alla famiglia degli ftalati) e ritardanti di fiamma (triossido di antimonio) ampiamente utilizzati al giorno d’oggi nella produzione di finte pelli in PVC, anticipando in questo modo possibili restrizioni future imposte dalla normativa REACH: quattro ftalati a basso peso molecolare (Benzil-ButilFtalato, Di-ButilFtalato, Di-Iso-ButilFtalato, e Di-2-Etil-EsilFtalato) sono già stati proibiti ed il triossido di antimonio è inserito nella lista delle sostanze candidate a possibili restrizioni. Le limitazioni all’uso di queste sostanze è dovuta agli effetti negativi sulla salute e sull’ambiente causati da queste sostanze: gli ftalati a basso peso molecolare possono interferire nei cicli ormonali; il triossido di antimonio è un sospetto cancerogeno, è pericoloso per inalazione ed è considerato causa di pneumoconiosi e irregolarità cardiache dei lavoratori a contatto con esso. Inoltre, l’antimonio è un inquinante persistente, bioaccumulabile e tossico (PBT). Sono stati presi in esame 21 plastificanti appartenenti a varie categorie (sebacati, adipati, trimellitati, fosfati, benzoati, …), coi quali sono state prodotte foglie di PVC plastificato. Le foglie sono state sottoposte a caratterizzazione tramite spettroscopia FT-IR ed a test sia di natura meccanica (durezza, resistenza meccanica, etc.) che focalizzati a determinare proprietà legate al loro uso finale (migrazione del plastificante, resistenza alla fiamma, stabilità termica, etc.). Tra i migliori plastificanti individuati vi sono i trimellitati ed alcuni plastificanti da fonti rinnovabili (azelati, tetravalerati). Sono state investigate singolarmente le proprietà di 5 tipologie di ritardanti di fiamma in sostituzione del triossido di antimonio (a varie percentuali di additivazione nel materiale) e di 3 miscele di ritardanti allo scopo di valutare eventuali effetti sinergici. Le foglie additivate con questi ritardanti di fiamma sono state caratterizzate tramite analisi termiche specifiche: analisi al cono calorimetro e analisi TGA accoppiata ad FT-IR, utili per la comprensione dei meccanismi di azione dei ritardanti di fiamma e della loro influenza sulla degradazione termica del PVC plastificato. Infine, le foglie sono state sottoposte ai classici test di resistenza meccanica, resistenza alla fiamma, stabilità termica, ecc. I migliori ritardanti di fiamma individuati sono: ipofosfito di calcio, sali carbossilati ed allumina triidrata, da soli o miscelati con zinco idrossistannato.

Synthesis and characterization of triazolotriazines

The Dimroth rearrangement in ring-fused 1,2,4-triazoles has been reviewed in detail in Part I and the synthesis of all known triazolo-triazines is described in Part II. Experimental investigations concerned the establishinent of the skeletal arrangement of a variety of triazolotriazines formed by several synthetic routes. Interaction of 3-amino-5-hydrazino-12,4-triazole and benzilafforded 2-amino-6, 7-diphenyl-1, 2,4-triazolo[ 5, 1-c-]-1,2,4-triazine,whereas cyclization of 5,6-diphenyl-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazine withcyanogen bromide resulted in the isomeric 3-amino-6,7-diphenyl,-1,2,4-triazolo [4, 3-b]-1,2,4-triazine: both amines were deaminated with amyl nitrite in boiling tetrahydrofuran without rearrangement of the heterocyclic skeleton. 6,7-Diphenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-cJ-1,2.4-triazine, synthesized from 3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazole and benzil, formed a covalent hydrate which could be detected spectroscopically in solution, and a covalemt methanolate and ethanolate which could be isolated. A new route to 3-amino-5-hydrazino-pyrazole is described and cyclization to 7-amino-3,4-diphenyl-pyrazolo[ 5,1-.c]-1,2,4-triazine was achieved with benzil. The diazonium nitrate of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole coupled with ethyl cyanoacetate to yield a mixture of two geometrical isomers of ethyl 2-(2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylhydrazono) cyanoacetate.Recrystallization of the crude coupling mixture from aqueous ethanol gave a single hydra-zone which cyclized predominantly to ethyl 7-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazine-6-carboxylate in acid conditions and 6-cyano-1,2,4-triazolo[ 5,1-c]-1,2,4~triazin-7(4H)-one under basic conditions. The nature of the cyclizing medium also controlled the cyclization of .the (pyrazol-ylhydrazono) cyanoacetate hut the corresponding (tetrazol- ylhydrazono) cyanoacetate gave only ethyl 7-aminotetrazolo[ 5,1-cJ-1,2,4- -triazine-6-carboxylate. 2-( 2H-1,2,4-Triazol-3-:ylhydrazono) malonitrile cyclized unambiguously to 7-amino-6-cyano-1,2,4-triazolo-[ 5,1-c]-1,2,4- triazine. Drastic hydrolysis of ethyl 2-(2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yllhydrazono)-cyanoacetate, ethyl 7-amino-1, 2,4-triazolo[ 5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazine-6-carboxylate, 6-cyano-1,2,4-triazolo[ 5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazin-7{ 4H)-one and 7-amino-6- cyano-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazine gave a hydrate of 1,2,4-triazo1o[5,1-c ]-1,2,4-triazin-7(4H)-one. Mass spectral fragmentations of 7-aminoazolo-[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazinesconfirm that the azole ring is more stable than the 1,2,4-triazine ring on electron impact.
