27Al satellite transition spectroscopy (SATRAS) of polycrystalline aluminum borate 9Al2O3.2B2O3.

27Al NMR spectra of polycrystalline aluminum borate 9Al2O3.2B2O3 have been measured at 104, 130 and 156 MHz. The parameters of the quadrupole interaction and the isotropic chemical shifts have been obtained by fitting the CT/MAS pattern and consideration of the inner satellite transitions m = 3/2<-->1/2 and m = - 1/2<-->- 3/2. The gain in spectral resolution concerned with the observation of the MAS lines of the inner satellites leads to complete separation of the signals of AlO6, AlO5 and AlO4 polyhedra. Also signals of structural groups of one and the same coordination number can be distinguished. Experimental and theoretical lineshape calculations are compared.

Antimicrobial properties of highly fluorinated silver(I) tris(pyrazolyl)borates.

Highly fluorinated tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]- has been used in the isolation of air- and light-stable silver complex, [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]Ag(OSMe2). It is a monomeric tetrahedral silver complex with an O-bonded dimethylsulfoxide ligand. The silver adduct [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]Ag(OSMe2) and the related [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3] Ag(THF) (where OSMe2 = dimethyl sulfoxide; THF = tetrahydrofuran) show good antibacterial activity, and their antimicrobial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus is greater than those of AgNO3 and silver sulfadiazine.

New copper(I) phosphane complexes of dihydridobis(3-nitro-1,2,4-triazolyl)borate ligand showing cytotoxic activity.

New copper(I) complexes of the type [H(2)B(tz(NO2))(2)]Cu[PR(3)](2) (1-5), [H(2)B (tz(NO2))(2)]Cu[dppe] (6) and [H(2)B(tz(NO2))(2)]Cu[PR(3)] (7, 8) have been synthesized from the reaction of CuCl, potassium dihydrobis(3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)borate, K[H(2)B (tz(NO2))(2)], and mono- or bi-dentate tertiary phosphanes. The complexes obtained have been characterized by elemental analyses and FT-IR in the solid state, and by NMR ((1)H and (31)P{(1)H}) spectroscopy in solution. Selected complexes 1, 3 and 5 have also been tested against a panel of several human tumor cell lines in order to evaluate their cytotoxic activity. Complexes 1 and 5 showed IC(50) values appreciably lower than those exhibited by cisplatin, the most used metal-based antitumor drug. It is worth noting that all three tested Cu(I) complexes appear to be particularly effective against A549 carcinoma cells that are resistant to cisplatin treatment.

X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic and thermal studies on a potential semiorganic NLO material: lithium bis-L-malato borate.

A semiorganic nonlinear optical material, lithium bis-L-malato borate (LBMB) (molecular formula C8H8BLiO10), has been synthesized, and single crystals grown from an aqueous solution, by the method of slow evaporation at 30 degrees C. Crystals of size up to 7 mm x 3 mm x 2 mm were harvested and characterized by powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared techniques to confirm the identity of the compound formed. The TG-DTA results establish the good thermal stability of the material. The UV-Vis-NIR spectral study reveals that the material has a wide transparency window (230-1500 nm) with a lower cutoff at 230 nm. Kurtz powder test with a Nd:YAG laser indicates the production of SHG output.

Optical characterization of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions doped zinc lead borate glasses.

This paper reports on the spectral analysis of Eu3+ or Tb3+ ions (0.5 mol%) doped heavy metal oxide (HMO) based zinc lead borate glasses from the measurement of their absorption, emission spectra and also different physical properties. From the XRD, DSC profiles, the glass nature and glass thermal properties have been studied. The measured emission spectrum of Eu3+ glass has revealed five transitions (5D0-->7F0, 7F1, 7F2, 7F3 and 7F4) at 578, 591, 613, 654 and 702 nm, respectively, with lambdaexci=392 nm (7F0-->5L6). In the case of Tb3+:ZLB glass, four emission transitions such as (5D4-->7F6, 7F5, 7F4 and 7F3) that are located at 489, 542, 585 and 622 nm, respectively, have been measured with lambdaexci=374 nm. For all these emission bands decay curves have been plotted to evaluate their lifetimes and the emission processes that arise in the glasses have been explained in terms of energy level schemes.

Investigation of impact of water type on borate ore flotation.

In this work, the impact of water type on borate ore flotation was investigated, while various physical parameters during flotation were considered in order to compare the results. Two different colemanite samples from Emet deposits of Turkey, named as Emet-A and Emet-B contained 44% B(2)O(3) and 40% B(2)O(3), respectively. The flotation tests were performed at feed particle size range of -210 +20 microm. Optimal consumption values for the reagents were determined as 2000 gt(-1) for AeroPromoter R825 from Cytec Company, a sulphonate type collector, 1500 gt(-1) for Procol CA927 from Allied Colloids Company, a sulphosuccinamate type collector and 100 gt(-1) for AeroFrother 70 from Cytec Company, an alcohol-type frother. In the tests, the impeller speed of the Denver-type flotation machine was set to 1200 rpm and the samples were fed into a litre cell at 25% solid/liquid ratio and at natural pH value of the slurry at room temperature. The flotation results obtained from the tests with use of tap water, demineralised water and the artificial water prepared with Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) cations deliberately added into demineralised water were compared to each other in optimal flotation conditions.

Effect of the serine-borate complex on the relative ability of leukotriene C4, D4 and E4 to inhibit lung and brain [3H] leukotriene D4 and [3H] leukotriene C4 binding: demonstration of the agonists' potency order for leukotriene D4 and leukotriene C4 receptors.

To define the potency order of the leukotrienes for inhibition of [3H] leukotriene D4 and [3H] leukotriene C4 binding, we investigated leukotriene C4, D4 and E4 competition with and without the serine-borate complex in guinea pig lung and brain homogenates. Without it, the rank order of their potency for inhibition of lung [3H] leukotriene D4 or [3H] leukotriene C4 binding was leukotriene C4 = leukotriene D4 greater than leukotriene E4. Presence of the complex altered the potency order for both competition studies: for the [3H] leukotriene D4 competition it was leukotriene D4 greater than leukotriene E4 = leukotriene C4 and for the [3H] leukotriene C4 competition it was leukotriene C4 much greater than leukotriene D4 greater than or equal to leukotriene E4.

Use of borate complexation for the separation of non-UV-absorbing calystegines by capillary electrophoresis.

A capillary zone electrophoresis method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of seven closely related polyhydroxyalkaloids called calystegines. Successful results were obtained with a fused-silica capillary, 80 mM sodium tetraborate at pH 9.2 and temperature of 50 degrees C. Detection of non-UV-absorbing calystegines was achieved through in-situ complexation with borate ions. To further improve method sensitivity, a capillary with a bubble cell was used and detection performed at low wavelength (191 nm). Effects of buffer concentration, pH and temperature on migration times and efficiency are discussed. Migration behavior of selected compounds was significantly affected by their chemical structure (i.e., number and position of hydroxy groups). Under optimized conditions, baseline separation of the selected compounds was achieved in less than 12 min. Precision was evaluated by measuring repeatability and intermediate precision of migration times and corrected peak areas. Finally, the method was applied to the qualitative analysis of calystegines in plant extracts and results were confirmed by GC-MS.

Oligosaccharides generated by partial hydrolysis of the borate-rhamnogalacturonan II complex from sugar beet.

The borate-rhamnogalacturonan II complex (B-RG-II), isolated from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), was partially acid-hydrolyzed. The oligosaccharides generated were characterized by glycosyl-composition and glycosyl-linkage analyses, ES-mass, and NMR spectroscopy. Two disaccharides, alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->5)-D-Kdo and alpha-L-Araf-(1-->5)-Dha, an aceric acid-containing oligosaccharide, and a 2-O-Me-Xyl-containing oligosaccharide, in addition to partially methyl-esterified alpha-(1-->4)-oligogalacturonides were characterized. The data provide additional evidence that B-RG-II isolated from different plant species have identical structures.

Chemical modification of arginyl residues in silk fibroin: 1. Reaction of 1,2-cyclohexanedione in borate buffer.

Chemical modifications of silk fibroin were attempted in order to add new properties and functions to silk fibroin. The arginyl residue in solubilized silk fibroin was chemically modified with the reaction of 1,2-cyclohexanedione in borate buffer. FT-i.r. and c.d. spectra of the silk fibroin before and after the modification indicated that the fraction of random coil conformation increased with the modification. The chemical stability of the modified silk fibroin membrane was investigated in vitro with phosphate buffer. The modified arginyl residue in the membrane was considerably regenerated with the treatment in phosphate buffer.

Quantification of 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol in urine by automated borate complex anion-exchange chromatography with an immobilized enzyme reactor.

HPLC using a borate form of a strongly anion-exchange resin column and an immobilized enzyme reactor for colorimetric detection was used to quantify urinary 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol. Urine samples were introduced into the system every 7 min without any pretreatment, and after separation of interfering substances in the column, 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol was successively detected. Quantitative determination of urinary 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol was possible within the 1.2-300 micromol/l range. The coefficient of variance was less than 3% and the correlation between results obtained with our system (y) and those obtained by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (x) was y=0.983x-1.287 micromol/l (n=42, r=0.998).

Efficiency of a blast furnace slag cement for immobilizing simulated borate radioactive liquid waste.

The efficiency of a blast furnace slag cement (Spanish CEM III/B) for immobilizing simulated radioactive borate liquid waste [containing H3BO3, NaCl, Na2SO4 and Na(OH)] has been evaluated by means of a leaching attack in de-mineralized water at the temperature of 40 degrees C over 180 days. The leaching was carried out according to the ANSI/ANS-16.1-1986 test. Moreover, changes of the matrix microstructure were characterized through porosity and pore-size distribution analysis carried out by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal analysis (TG). The results were compared with those obtained from a calcium aluminate cement matrix, previously published.

Gas phase reactions of trimethyl borate with phosphates and their non-covalent complexes.

Using a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer, trimethyl borate was allowed to react with dihydrogen phosphate, deprotonated O-phosphoserine, and a set of hydrogen bonded complexes involving dihydrogen phosphate and neutral acids (phosphoric acid, acetic acid, serine, and O-phosphoserine). The reactions show a consistent pattern in which the initial attack leads to addition with the loss of one or two CH3OH molecules. Collision-activated dissociation (CAD) experiments on the reaction products generally lead to the loss of an additional CH3OH molecule. In no case is a partner from the original hydrogen-bonded complex lost. The results indicate that the reactions lead to structures where the phosphate and its complex partner are covalently bound to the boron. For each of the reactions, rate constants were determined. In the course of CAD experiments (up to MS5), several novel borophosphate structures were identified. The work is supported by ab initio calculations on selected species.

Synthesis, characterization, and electrochemistry of cis-oxothio- and cis-bis(thio)tungsten(VI) complexes of hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate.

The complexes TpWO2X react with sulfiding agents such as B2S3 or P4S10 to give the oxothio- and bis(thio)tungsten(VI) complexes TpWOSX (X = Cl(-)) and TpWS2X [X = Cl(-), S2PPh2(-); Tp = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate]. The reaction of TpWS2Cl with (i) PPh3 in pyridine and (ii) dimethyl sulfoxide affords TpWOSCl in good overall yield. The chloro complexes undergo metathesis with alkali metal salts to yield species of the type TpWOSX and TpWS2X [X = OPh(-), SPh(-), SePh(-), (-)-mentholate]. The diamagnetic complexes exhibit NMR spectra indicative of C(1) (TpWOSX) or C(s) (TpWS2X) symmetry and IR spectra consistent with terminal oxo and thio ligation (nu(W=O), 940-925 cm(-1); nu(W=S) or nu(WS2), 495-475 cm(-1)). Crystals of (R,S)-TpWOS[(-)-mentholate] are monoclinic, space group P2(1), with a = 11.983(2) A, b = 18.100(3) A, c = 13.859(3) A, beta = 91.60(2) degrees, V = 3004.6(8) A(3), and Z = 4. Crystals of TpWS2(OPh)-CH2Cl2 are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with a = 16.961(4) A, b = 33.098(7) A, c = 9.555(2) A, V = 5364(2) A(3), and Z = 8. The mononuclear, distorted-octahedral tungsten centers are coordinated by a tridentate Tp ligand, an alkoxy or aryloxy ligand, and two terminal chalcogenide ligands. The average W=O and W=S distances are 1.726(7) and 2.125(2) A, respectively, and the O=W=S and S=W=S angles 102.9(3) and 102.9(1) degrees, respectively. The tungsten and sulfur X-ray absorption spectra of TpWOSCl and TpWS2Cl are consistent with the presence of terminal pi-bonded thio ligands in both complexes. The thio complexes generally undergo a reversible one-electron reduction at potentials significantly more positive than their oxo analogues. The chemical, spectroscopic, and electrochemical properties of the complexes are heavily influenced by the presence of W=S pi frontier orbitals.

Structural and spectroscopic characterization of first-row transition metal(II) substituted blue copper model complexes with hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate.

[CuL(SC(6)F(5))] (1) (L = hydrotris(3,5-diisopropyl-1-pyrazolyl)borate anion) has been reported as a good model for blue copper proteins [Kitajima, N.; Fujisawa, K.; Tanaka, M.; Moro-oka, Y. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1992, 114, 9232-9233]. To obtain more structural and spectroscopic insight, the first-row transition metal(II) substituted complexes of Cu(II) (1) to Mn(II) (2), Fe(II) (3), Co(II) (4), Ni(II) (5), and Zn(II) (6) were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined. These model complexes have a distorted tetrahedral geometry arising from the tripodal ligand L. The d value, which is defined by the distance from the N(2)S basal plane to the metal(II) ion, and the bond angles such as N-M-N and S-M-N are good indicators of these structural distortions. The obtained complexes were characterized by UV-vis absorption, EPR, NMR, far-IR, and FT-Raman spectroscopies and electrochemical and magnetic properties. In UV-vis absorption spectra, the sulfur-to-metal(II) CT bands and the d-d transition bands are observed for 1 and 3-5. For 1, the strong sulfur to Cu(II) CT band at 663 nm, which is one of the unique properties of blue copper proteins, is observed. The CT energies of the Fe(II) (3), Co(II) (4), and Ni(II) (5) complexes are shifted to higher energy (308 and 355 nm for 3, 311 and 340 nm for 4, 357 and 434 nm for 5) and are almost the same as the corresponding Co(II)- and Ni(II)-substituted blue copper proteins. In the far-IR spectra, three far-IR absorption bands for 2-6 at ca. 400, ca. 350, and ca. 310 cm(-1) are also observed similar to those for 1. Other properties are consistent with their distorted tetrahedral geometries.

Tris(thioimidazolyl)borate-zinc-thiolate complexes for the modeling of biological thiolate alkylations.

The S3Zn-SR coordination of thiolate-alkylating enzymes such as the Ada DNA repair protein was reproduced in tris(thioimidazolyl)borate-zinc-thiolate complexes Tti(R)Zn-SR'. Four different Tti(R) ligands and nine different thiolates were employed, yielding a total of 12 new complexes. In addition, one Tti(R)Zn-SH complex and two thiolate-bridged [Tti(R)-SEt-Tti(R)]+ complexes were obtained. A selection of six thiolate complexes was converted with methyl iodide to the corresponding methyl thioethers and Tti(R)Zn-I. According to a kinetic analysis these reactions are second-order processes, which implies that the alkylations are likely to occur at the zinc-bound thiolates. They are much faster than the alkylations of zinc thiolates with N3 or N2S tripod ligands. The most reactive thiolate, Tti(Xyl)Zn-SEt, reacts slowly with trimethyl phosphate in a nonpolar medium at room temperature, yielding methyl-ethyl-thioether and Tti(Xyl)Zn-OPO(OMe)2 which can be converted back to the thiolate complex with NaSEt. This is the closest reproduction of the Ada repair process so far.

Pseudotetrahedral manganese complexes supported by the anionic tris(phosphino)borate ligand [PhBP(iPr)3].

This paper presents aspects of the coordination chemistry of mono- and divalent manganese complexes supported by the anionic tris(phosphino)borate ligand, [PhBP(i)(Pr)3] (where [PhBP(i)(Pr)3] = [PhB(CH(2)P(i)Pr2)3]-). The Mn(II) halide complexes, [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]MnCl (1) and [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]MnI (2), have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, SQUID magnetometry, and EPR spectroscopy. Compound 2 serves as a precursor to a series of Mn azide, alkyl, and amide species: [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]Mn(N3) (3), [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]Mn(CH2Ph) (4), [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]Mn(Me) (5), [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]Mn(NH(2,6-(i)Pr2-C6H3)) (6), [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]Mn(dbabh) (7), and [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]Mn(1-Ph(isoindolate)) (8). The complexes 2-8 feature a divalent-metal center and are pseudotetrahedral. They collectively represent an uncommon structural motif for low-coordinate, polyphosphine-supported Mn complexes. Two Mn(I) species have also been prepared. These include the Tl-Mn adduct [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]Tl-MnBr(CO)4 (9) and the octahedral complex [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]Mn(CN(t)Bu)3 (10). Some of our initial synthetic efforts to generate [PhBP(i)(Pr)3]MnN(x) species are briefly described, as are DFT studies that probe the electronic viability of these types of multiply bonded target structures.
