Photochemistry of peroxoborates: borate inhibition of the photodecomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

The UV absorbance and photochemical decomposition kinetics of hydrogen peroxide in borate/boric acid buffers were investigated as a function of pH, total peroxide concentration, and total boron concentration. At higher pH borate/boric acid inhibits the photodecomposition of hydrogen peroxide (molar absorptivity and quantum yield of H(2)O(2) and HO(2) (-), (19.0+/-0.3) M(-1) cm(-1) and 1, and (237+/-7) M(-1) cm(-1) and 0.8+/-0.1, respectively). The results are consistent with the equilibrium formation of the anions monoperoxoborate, K(BOOH)=[H(+)][HOOB(OH)(3) (-)]/([B(OH)(3)][H(2)O(2)]), 2.0 x 10(-8), R. Pizer, C. Tihal, Inorg. Chem. 1987, 26, 3639-3642, and monoperoxodiborate, K(BOOB)=[BOOB(2-)]/([B(OH)(4) (-)][HOOB(OH)(3) (-)]), 1.0+/-0.3 or 4.3+/-0.9, depending upon the conditions, with molar absorptivity, (19+/-1) M(-1) cm(-1) and (86+/-15) M(-1) cm(-1), respectively, and respective quantum yields, 1.1+/-0.1 and 0.04+/-0.04. The low quantum yield of monoperoxodiborate is discussed in terms of the slower diffusion apart of incipient (.)OB(OH)(3) (-) radicals than may be possible for (.)OH radicals, or a possible oxygen-bridged cyclic structure of the monoperoxodiborate.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of tricarbonyl Re(I) and Tc(I) complexes anchored by poly(azolyl)borates: application on the design of radiopharmaceuticals for the targeting of 5-HT1A receptors.

The building blocks fac-[(99m)Tc{kappa(3)-HB(tim(Me))(3)}(CO)(3)] and fac-[(99m)Tc{kappa(3)-R(mu-H)B(tim(Me))(2)}(CO)(3)] [R is H (4a), Ph (5a); tim(Me) is 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazolyl] were obtained almost quantitatively by reacting fac-[(99m)Tc(CO)(3)(H(2)O)(3)](+) with the corresponding scorpionate. These compounds cross the intact blood-brain barrier in mice, with significant retention in the case of 4a and 5a. Using 4a as the lead structure, we have synthesized the functionalized complexes fac-[M{kappa(3)-H(mu-H)B(tim(Bu-pip))(2)}(CO)(3)] [M is Re (8), (99m)Tc (8a); tim(Bu-pip) is methyl[4-((2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl)butyl](2-mercapto-1-methylimidazol-5-yl)methanamide] and fac-[M{kappa (3)-H(mu-H)B(tim(Me))(tim(Bu-pip))}(CO)(3)] [M is Re (9), (99m)Tc (9a)] and evaluated their potential as radioactive probes for the targeting of brain 5-HT(1A) serotonergic receptors. The Re complexes exhibit excellent affinity [IC(50)=0.172 +/- 0.003 nM (8); IC(50)=0.65 +/- 0.01 nM (9)] for the 5-HT(1A) receptor. The radioactive congeners ((99m)Tc) have shown an initial brain uptake of 1.38 +/- 0.46%ID g(-1) (8a) and 0.43 +/- 0.12%ID g(-1) (9a), but suffer from a relatively fast washout.

Silver ion dynamics in silver borate glasses: spectra and multiple-time correlation functions from 109Ag-NMR.

The motion of silver ions in (AgI)x-(Ag2O-B2O3)1-x glasses with AgI concentrations of x=0.5 and 0.7 was studied using 109Ag-NMR. The NMR spectra were analyzed in terms of a superposition of two different contributions. These are associated with Ag ions, which hop on vastly different time scales. The existence of dynamic heterogeneity, i.e. the existence of slow and of fast contributions to the hopping dynamics was directly demonstrated using a four-time stimulated-echo experiment. The results are compatible with an intrinsically exponential response. From measurements of the spectra and of two-time correlation functions a Gaussian distribution of energy barriers, hindering the ionic motion, could be mapped out.

Structural and biological characterization of a novel spermicidal vanadium(IV) complex: bis(pi-cyclopentadienyl)-N,N-diethyl dithiocarbamato vanadium(IV) tetrafluoro borate, [VCp2(DeDtc)](BF4).

In a systematic search for vanadocene complexes with sperm immobilizing activity as a new class of contraceptive agents, we identified V(eta 5-C5H5)2((C2H5)2 NCS2)(BF4) (=[VCp2(DeDtc)](BF4)) as the most potent and stable spermicidal compound. Here we report the detailed biologic and physicochemical characterization of this lead spermicidal compound by computer-assisted sperm analysis, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and X-ray crystallography. [VCp2(DeDtc)](BF4) crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with unit cell dimensions a = 7.0877(4) A, b = 22.2881(14) A, c = 11.8021(7) A, beta = 94.107(1) degree, V = 1859.6(2) A3. The final structure of [VCp2(DeDtc)](BF4) had an R factor of 0.0581 for 3191 independent reflections. The two sulfur atoms of the dithiocarbamate and centroids of the cyclopentadienyl rings in this vanadocene complex with unique contraceptive potential occupy four tetrahedral--like coordination sites about the central metal atom.

Comparison of the conductivity properties of the tetrabutylammonium salt of tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate anion with those of traditional supporting electrolyte anions in nonaqueous solvents.

Cyclic voltammetry experiments at minielectrodes exhibit less ohmic error for lower polarity solvents when the supporting electrolyte anion is [B(C(6)F(5))(4)](-) rather than one of the smaller traditional anions such as [BF(4)](-), [PF(6)](-), or [ClO(4)](-). Conductance measurements have been performed for [NBu(4)][B(C(6)F(5))(4)] in tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, benzotrifluoride, and acetonitrile and compared with results for [NBu(4)](+) salts of several traditional anions in the same solvents. In solvents with dielectric constants of 10 or less, ion association constants, K(A), are as much as 2 orders of magnitude lower with [B(C(6)F(5))(4)](-), TFAB, as the electrolyte anion and the degree of this lowering is related to the acceptor property of the solvent. Analyses carried out on the basis of a Fuoss model attribute this fact to differences in concentrations of contact ion pairs rather than of solvent-separated ion pairs. The greater dissociation of the TFAB ion is attributed to its highly delocalized charge.
