Countercomplementarity and strong ferromagnetic coupling in a linear mixed mu-acetato, mu-hydroxo trinuclear copper(II) complex. Synthesis, structure, magnetic properties, EPR, and theoretical studies.

The structural and magnetic data of the trinuclear compound [Cu3(L)2(CH3COO)2(OH)2(dmf)2] (HL = N-(2-methylpyridyl)toluensulfonylamide) are reported. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n (no. 14), with a = 11.6482(6) A, b = 13.5772(6) A, c = 13.5306(7) A, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 92.859(5) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, and Z = 2. The three copper atoms form an exact linear arrangement. Neighboring coppers are connected by a hydroxo bridge and a bidentate syn-syn carboxylato group. The coordination spheres of the terminal copper atoms are square pyramidal with a dmf molecule as the apical ligand. The central copper has a regular square planar geometry. The mixed bridging by a hydroxide oxygen atom and a bidentate carboxylato group leads to a noncoplanarity of the adjacent basal coordination planes with a dihedral angle of 51.96(9) degrees. Susceptibility measurements (2-300 K) reveal a strong ferromagnetic coupling, J = 93(6) cm-1, in the mixed-bridged moiety leading to a quartet ground state that is confirmed by the EPR spectra. The ferromagnetic exchange coupling is discussed using DFT calculations on model compounds that have shown a countercomplementary effect of the hydroxo and acetate bridges.

Electronic spectra and structures of d2 molybdenum-oxo complexes. Effects of structural distortions on orbital energies, two-electron terms, and the mixing of singlet and triplet states.

Molybdenum-oxo ions of the type [Mo(IV)OL(4)Cl](+) (L = CNBu(t), PMe(3), (1)/(2)Me(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PMe(2)) have been studied by X-ray crystallography, vibrational spectroscopy, and polarized single-crystal electronic absorption spectroscopy (300 and ca. 20 K) in order to investigate the effects of the ancillary ligand geometry on the properties of the MotriplebondO bond. The idealized point symmetries of the [Mo(IV)OL(4)Cl](+) ions were established by X-ray crystallographic studies of the salts [MoO(CNBu(t)())(4)Cl][BPh(4)] (C(4)(v)), [MoO(dmpe)(2)Cl]Cl.5H(2)O (C(2)(v)), and [MoO(PMe(3))(4)Cl][PF(6)] (C(2)(v)()); the lower symmetries of the phosphine derivatives are the result of the steric properties of the phosphine ligands. The Motbd1;O stretching frequencies of these ions (948-959 cm(-)(1)) are essentially insensitive to the nature and geometry of the equatorial ligands. In contrast, the electronic absorption bands arising from the nominal d(xy)() --> d(xz), d(yz) (n --> pi(MoO)) ligand-field transition exhibit a large dependence on the geometry of the equatorial ligands. Specifically, the electronic spectrum of [MoO(CNBu(t)())(4)Cl](+) exhibits a single (1)[n --> pi(xz)(,)(yz)] band, whereas the spectra of both [MoO(dmpe)(2)Cl](+) and [MoO(PMe(3))(4)Cl](+) reveal separate (1)[n --> pi(xz)] and (1)[n --> pi(yz)] bands. A general theoretical model of the n --> pi state energies of structurally distorted d(2) M(triplebondE)L(4)X chromophores is developed in order to interpret the electronic spectra of the phosphine derivatives. Analysis of the n --> pi transition energies using this model indicates that the d(xz) and d(yz) pi(MotriplebondO) orbitals are nondegenerate for the C(2)(v)-symmetry ions and the n --> pi(xz) and n --> pi(yz) excited states are characterized by different two-electron terms. These effects lead to a significant redistribution of intensity between certain spin-allowed and spin-forbidden absorption bands. The applicability of this model to the excited states produced by delta --> pi and pi --> delta symmetry electronic transitions of other chromophores is discussed.

A monomeric imidazol-2-ylidene-silver(I) chloride complex: synthesis, structure, and solid state 109Ag and 13C CP/MAS NMR characterization.

The structure of 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-imidazol-2-ylidene-silver(I) chloride, 1, has been determined to be a monomer with weak head-to-tail H...Cl interactions in the solid state. A multinuclear NMR study using a (13)C(carbene) labeled derivative, 1((13)C), exhibits (13)C-(107,109)Ag coupling in solution. Further, the solid state CP/MAS NMR parameters, including the principal components of the chemical shift tensors for both the (13)C and (109)Ag centers, have been determined. With the aid of DFT calculations, the orientation of the chemical shift tensors have been assigned.

Coordination chemistry of silanedithiolato ligands derived from cyclotrisilathiane: synthesis and structures of complexes of iron(II), cobalt(II), palladium(II), copper(I), and silver(I).

The coordination chemistry of chelating silanedithiolato ligands has been investigated on Fe(II), Co(II), Pd(II), Cu(I), and Ag(I). Treatment of M(OAc)(2) (M = Fe, Co, Pd) with cyclotrisilathiane (SSiMe(2))(3) in the presence of Lewis bases resulted in formation of Fe(S(2)SiMe(2))(PMDETA) (1), Fe(S(2)SiMe(2))(Me(3)TACN) (2), Co(S(2)SiMe(2))(PMDETA) (3), and Pd(S(2)SiMe(2))(PEt(3))(2) (4) (PMDETA = N,N,N',N',N' '-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine; Me(3)TACN = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane). The analogous reactions of M(OAc) (M = Cu, Ag) in the presence of PEt(3) gave rise to the dinuclear complexes M(2)[(SSiMe(2))(2)S](PEt(3))(3) [M = Cu (5), Ag (6)]. Complexes were characterized in solution by (1)H, (31)P[(1)H], and (29)Si[(1)H] NMR and in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Mononuclear complexes 1-3 have a four-membered MS(2)Si ring, and these five-coordinate complexes adopt trigonal-bipyramidal (for the PMDETA adducts) or square-pyramidal (for the Me(3)TACN adduct) geometries. In dimer 6, the (SSiMe(2))(2)S(2)(-) silanedithiolato ligand bridges two metal centers, one of which is three-coordinate and the other four-coordinate. The chelating effect of silanedithiolato ligands leads to an increase in the stability of silylated thiolato complexes.

Synthesis and structures of complexes demonstrating the coordinative versatility of the 2,4-diimino-3-phosphinopentene anion (gamma-phosphino-beta-diketiminate).

The synthesis and characterization of a 2,4-diimino-3-phosphinopentene anion (gamma-phosphino-beta-diketiminate) is reported and enables diversification of the beta-diketiminate ligand framework, which has been widely employed across the periodic table. Phosphines are observed to adopt the gamma-position of the ligand rather than the N,N' chelate. While aluminum and lithium adopt the familiar N,N' chelate arrangement with the new 2,4-diimino-3-phosphinopentene anion ligand, reactions with AsCl(3) or SbCl(3) result in substitution at the beta-methyl position on the ligand backbone, realizing novel P-->E (E = As or Sb) intramolecular coordination. The chemistry of the 2,4-diimino-3-phosphinopentene anion can be monitored by the (31)P NMR chemical shifts, which are distinctively diagnostic of the coordinative engagement of the ligand.

Probing the vanadyl and molybdenyl bonds in complex vanadomolybdate structures.

A solid solution was found to exist in the quaternary Li(2)O-MgO-V(2)O(5)-MoO(3) system between the two phases Mg(2.5)VMoO(8) and Li(2)Mg(2)(MoO(4))(3). Both Mg(2.5)VMoO(8) and Li(2)Mg(2)(MoO(4))(3) are isostructural with the mineral lyonsite, and substitution according to the formula square(1/4-x/6)Li(4x/3)Mg(15/4-7x/6)V(3/2-x)Mo(3/2+x)O(12) (0 < or = x < or = 1.5, where square denotes a cation vacancy) demonstrates that a complete solid solution exits coupling the addition of molybdenum and lithium with the subtraction of cation vacancies, magnesium, and vanadium and vice versa. Vibrational Raman spectroscopy indicates that molybdenum-oxo double bonds preferentially associate with the cation vacancies.

Stereoselective organozinc addition reactions to 1,2-dihydropyrans for the assembly of complex pyran structures.

[reaction: see text] Nucleophilic addition of organozincs to 1,2-dihydropyranyl acetates represents a new, broadly defined method for the stereocontrolled synthesis of alpha-substituted pyrans. The products obtained from this process are versatile materials that can be used to construct C-glycosides and other functionalized pyran structures of import. The occurrence of pyranyl groups in both natural products and therapeutically active agents confers added value to the studies described herein.

HLA-Gm/kappam interaction in sarcoidosis. Suggestions for a complex genetic structure.

The aetiology of sarcoidosis is still unknown. Environmental exposures are believed to interact with genetic factors in determining the pattern of sarcoidosis presentation, progression and prognosis. The frequency of serological polymorphism of immunoglobulin G heavy chain (Gm) and kappa light chain (kappam) markers in 107 patients with biopsy-proven sarcoidosis and in 227 controls, and their interactions with histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I, II, and III markers, were studied. A "protective" effect of the Gm(3 5*) phenotype in the sarcoid group versus controls (p-value for number of specificities tested (p(c))=0.05, odds ratio 0.15) and a reduced frequency of Gm(3 23 5*) in patients with advanced chest radiographic stage (Chi-squared (two degrees of freedom)(chi2(2df) 17.61, p(c)=0.0058) were observed. With reference to epistatic interactions, the combination Gm(3 23 5*)/BfS had a "protective" effect towards stage II (chi2(2dt) 13.86, p(c)=0.043). Finally, correspondence analysis defined two clusters: HLA-DR4, C4BQ0, Gm(1, 3, 17 23 5*, 21, 28) and BfF associated with stage II, and HLA-DR3, C4AQ0, kappam(1) and Gm(3 23 5*) associated with stage I. These data further support the hypothesis that sarcoidosis results from an interplay of environmental factors and genes, each contributing to the susceptibility/resistance to and/or the clinical heterogeneity of the disease. In addition, these data provide the first evidence of an interaction between immunoglobulin G heavy chain/kappa light chain markers and histocompatibility leukocyte antigen class III genes in a disease.
