- Continuing our development of artificial models for photosystem II in green plants, a series of compounds have been prepared in which a RU(bpy)(3)(2+) photosensitizer is covalently Linked to a manganese(II) electron donor. In addition to a trispicolylamine Ligand, two other manganese Ligands, dipicolylamine and aminodiacetic acid, have been introduced in order to study Ligands that are appropriate for the construction of manganese dimers with open coordination sites for the binding of water. Coordination equilibria of the manganese ions were monitored by EPR. The interactions between the ruthenium and manganese moieties were probed by flash photolysis, cyclic voltammetry and steady-state and time-resolved emission measurements. The quenching of the Ru-II excited state by Mn-II was found to be rapid in complexes with short Ru-Mn distances. Nevertheless, each Run species could be photo-oxidized by bimolecular quenching with methylviologen, and the subsequent electron transfer from Mn-II to Ru-III could be monitored.

- A dinuclear manganese complex ([Mn2L(mu-OAc)(2)]PF6) has been synthesized, where L is the trianion of 2,6-bis{[(2-hydroxy-3,5-di- tert-butylbenzyl) (2-pyridylmethyl) amino] methyl)-4-methylphenol, a ligand with three phenolate groups. The two pseudo-octahedrally coordinated Mn ions are bridged via the two bidentate acetate ligands and the 4-methylphenolate group of the ligand. We have characterized the complex with electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry and EPR spectroscopy. Electrochemically the Mn-2(III,III) complex undergoes two metal-centered quasi-reversible one-electron reduction steps (E-1/2 = 0.04 and -0.32 V vs. SCE). Reduction to the Mn-2(II,III) state results in transformation into a modified complex with slightly different redox properties. One-electron oxidation (E-1/2 = 0.96 V vs. SCE) affords the Mn-2(III,IV) state while further one-electron oxidation (E-1/2 = 1.13 V vs. SCE) presumably involves ligand oxidation. High valent Mn complexes involving Mn-IV or Mn-V centers are of particular interest as intermediates in catalytic water oxidation. The redox potentials of [Mn2L(mu-OAC)(2)](+) show the expected stabilization of higher manganese oxidation states compared with the related complex, [Mn-2(bpmp)(mu-OAc)(2)](+).

- The hexacoordinate complexes that the macrobicyclic ligands {(NH3)(2)sar)(2+) and {NMe3)(2)sar}(2+) (sar = 3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo[6.6.6]icosane) form with transition metals such as Co-III, Co-II and Cu-II can adopt several isomeric structures. In this article, we have firstly employed DFT methods lo compute the relative stability of their Delta-ob(3), Delta-ob(2)lel, Delta-lel(2)ob and Delta-lel(3) isomers, as well as the activation barriers for their interconversion. In agreement with the experimental data, the results show that, in general, the different isomers of the Co-III and Co-II complexes present similar free energies, whereas the Cu-II complexes show a strong tendency towards the lel(3) form. In addition, the interplay between the structure and stability of these species has been studied by combining shape maps with a distortion/interaction energy analysis. In contrast to the geometries close to the ideal octahedron that all the studied Co complexes present, the le)3 structures of [Cu{(NH3)(2)sar}](4+) and [Cu{(NMe3)(2)sar](4+) are better described. as trigonal prisms. In such structures the ligand adopts a conformation significantly more stable than in the other isomers, and this drives the formation of lel(3)-[Cu{(NH3)(2)sar}](4+) and lel(3)-[Cu{(NNe3)(2)sar}](4+). Overall, the results show a clear relationship between the stability of a given isomer and its degree of distortion with respect to the ideal octahedron (or trigonal prism), with the latter being ultimately dependent on the transition metal and its radius.

- The new compound Fe(3)Sb(4)O(6)F(6)was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and its crystal structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The synthesis was made under slightly basic conditions to prevent oxidation of Fe(2+)to Fe3+. The compound crystallizes in the cubic space groupI-43mwith separate crystallographic sites for Fe(2+)and Sb3+. Fe(3)Sb(4)O(6)F(6)is isostructural with M3Sb4O6F6(M = Co, Ni, Zn). The crystal structure is comprising distorted [FeO2F4] octahedra connected via corner sharing at F-atoms and [SbO3] trigonal pyramids that form [Sb4O6] units that connect via O-atoms to the Fe-atoms. Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements on the hydrothermal synthesis products prove the majority phase contains Fe in the oxidation state +2. Powder X-ray diffraction suggests that an additional phase of the Mossbauer sample containing Fe(3+)can be attributed to FeSbO(2)F(2)as secondary phase. Fe(3)Sb(4)O(6)F(6)exhibits antiferromagnetic order below ca. 72 K succeeded by a second magnetic phase transition at ca. 30 K. Strong antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction is attributed to 180 degrees Fe-F-Fe superexchange pathways identified in the crystal structure.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A dinuclear manganese complex {[(Mn2L)-L-II,IIII(mu-OAc)(2)]-ClO4} has been synthesised, where L is the dianion of 2-{[bis-(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)amino]methyl}-6-{[(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2- hydroxybenzyl)(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)amino]methyl)-4-methylphenol, an unsymmetric binucleating ligand with two coordinating phenol groups. The two manganese ions, with a Mn-Mn distance of 3.498 angstrom, are bridged by the two bidentate acetate ligands and the 4-methylphenolate group of the ligand, resulting in a N3O3 and N2O4 donor set of Mn-II and Mn-II, respectively. Electrochemically [Mn2(II,III)L(mu-OAc)(2)](+) is reduced to [(Mn2L)-L-II,II(mu-OAc)(2)] at E-1/2(1)=-0.53 V versus Fc(+/0) and oxidised to [(Mn2L)-L-III,III(mu-OAC)(2)](2+) at E-1/2(2)=0.38 V versus Fc(+/0). All three redox states have been characterised by EPR, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Subsequent oxidation of [(Mn2L)-L-II,III(mu-OAc)(2)](2+) [E-1/2(3)=0.75 V vs. Fc(+/0)] in dry acetonitrile results in an unstable primary product with a lifetime of about 100 ins. At high scan rates quasireversible voltammetric behaviour is found for all three electrode processes, with particularly slow electron transfer for the II,III/II,II [k(o)(1) = 0.002 cms(-1) and III,III/II,III [k(o)(2) = 0.005 cms(-1)] couples, which can be rationalised in terms of major distortions of the Mn-II centres. In aqueous media the bridging acetates are replaced by water-derived ligands. Deprotonation of these stabilises higher valence states, and photo-induced oxidation of the manganese complex results in a (Mn2L)-L-IlI,IV complex with oxo or hydroxo bridging ligands, which is further oxidised to an EPR-silent product. These results demonstrate that a larger number of metal-centred oxidations can be compressed in a narrow potential range if build up of charge is avoided by charge-compensating reactions.

- The synthesis of a new fulleropyrrolidine-(tricarbonyl)chromium complex: 1-methyl-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,4-[60]fulleropyrrolidine-(tricarbonyl)chromium is described together with its characterization by IR, NMR and cyclic voltammetry. IR spectro-electrochemistry has been used to probe the redox level of the fullerene derivative via the relative position of the vibrational bands of the CO ligands, which are sensitive to the electronic state of the complex. Other strategies to incorporate a tricarbonylchromium moiety to fullerene C60 are also briefly discussed and evaluated.

- 2,5-Di(1-naphthyl)-1-phenylphosphole (2) was prepared from phenylphosphine and dinaphthylbutadiyne in 70% yield, and oxidized to its oxide 3. Treatment of 2 with a solution of potassium naphthalide results in selective formation of phospholide anion 4, which can be oxidized with iodine to afford biphosphole 5. The crystal structure of 5 exhibits an unusual s-trans conformation across the P-P bridge that is most stabilized by - stacking of the naphthyl substituents. Biphosphole 5 can be oxidized to its mono-oxidized 6 and dioxide 7. Generally, all phosphole oxidations lead to decreased pyramidalization of the P centres and, consequently, to significantly redshifted lowest-energy absorption maxima. Mono-oxidized biphosphole 6, which consists of an ordinary phosphole and an electron-deficient oxidized phosphole, features a unique low-energy optical transition (shoulder at 430 nm), which is tentatively assigned to a charge-transfer transition. The UV/Vis spectrum of dioxide 7 lacks this transition. At the same time, the emission maximum of 7 is bathochromically shifted by 80 nm relative to that of 5.

- Heteronuclear NMR experiments, in particular 51V, wereperformed with the aim to elucidate the nature of vanadates and peroxovanadates in hydrophilic ionic liquids (i.e., [bmim][BF4], [bmim][TfO] and [bdmim][BF4]). The data so far reported clearly indicate that ionic liquids have a strong influence on the solution chemistry of vanadate in water both for the formation of the aggregates (with and without H2O2) and for the rate of peroxide consumption catalyzed by vanadium. In BF4- containing ionic liquids, formation of vanadate-fluoride adducts is suggested. The obtained results are also discussed in the light of the reactivity data of peroxovanadates in ionic liquids.

- An efficient method for the synthesis of beta-hydroxy and beta-amino ketones from allylic alcohols catalyzed by Ru(5-C5Ph5)(CO)2Cl is described. The influence of the stereoelectronic properties of the catalyst on the reaction outcome has been studied. Optimization of the reaction conditions supressed the formation of undesired side products such as saturated ketones, benzyl alcohols, and a,beta-unsaturated ketones. Several aromatic and aliphatic allylic alcohols have been reacted with a large variety of aldehydes or imines to produce beta-hydroxy ketones or beta-amino ketones, respectively, in yields up to 99%. Based on experimental data, a mechanism via ruthenium alkoxides and ruthenium aldoxides is proposed. In addition, a C-bound ruthenium enolate has been characterized.

- The formation of nanostructured silica particles by oxidation of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) in co-annular diffusion flames is investigated by in-situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). This enabled the nonintrusive monitoring of the mass fractal dimension, the aggregate size, and the number of primary particles per aggregate, along with the silica volume fraction, the primary particle diameter, the geometric standard deviation, and the number density along the flame axis. Parallel to this, thermophoretic sampling (TS) of the particles and analysis by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allowed for direct comparison of particle morphology to that obtained from the above SAXS analysis, which were compared also to the ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (US-AXS) data for product particles collected from the filter. The flame temperature was measured by in-situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. By increasing the oxygen flow rate, the laminar diffusion flame changed to a turbulent, premixed-like flame. Non-aggregated, spherical particles were formed in the former, while aggregates were formed in the latter flame. The relatively long high-temperature particle residence times in the laminar diffusion flame facilitated sintering of the aggregates formed earlier into compact spherical particles at later stages of the flame.
