- Abstract: The dynamics of the glycosidic bond of lactose was studied by a paramagnetic tagging-based NMR technique, which allowed the collection of an unusually large series of NMR data for a single compound. By the use of distance- and orientation-dependent residual dipolar couplings and pseudocontact shifts, the simultaneous fitting of the probabilities of computed conformations and the orientation of the magnetic susceptibility tensor of a series of lanthanide complexes of lactose show that its glycosidic bond samples syn/syn, anti/syn and syn/anti f/y regions of the conformational space in water. The analysis indicates a higher reliability of pseudocontact shift data as compared to residual dipolar couplings with the presently available weakly orienting paramagnetic tagging technique. The method presented herein allows for an improved understanding of the dynamic behaviour of oligosaccharides.

- The synthesis and characterization of the title trisphenolate ligand are described. From its reaction with manganese(iii) three complexes were isolated. The crystal structures revealed one pentacoordinate monomer and two similar dimers with different solvents of crystallization. In the dimers the metal ions are hexacoordinate and connected through bridging of two phenolates. A combination of electrochemistry and EPR spectroscopy showed that, in acetonitrile, the isolated batches were all identical and mainly monomeric, indicating that the mononuclear complex is in equilibrium with the dimer and perhaps also with complexes of higher nuclearity, as suggested by the detection of both the trimer and the tetramer by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The successful use of the monomer batch as an epoxidation catalyst indicated that a high-valent manganese-oxo species can be formed, although it is probably short-lived. This is also suggested by EPR studies of the species formed by electrochemical oxidation of the complex. Upon one-electron oxidation, a manganese(iv) species was formed, which was at least partly converted to another species containing a phenoxy radical.

- The mechanism of alkene epoxidation by chromium(v) oxo salen complexes has been studied by DFT and experimental methods. The reaction is compared to the closely related Mn-catalyzed process in an attempt to understand the dramatic difference in selectivity between the two systems. Overall, the studies show that the reactions have many similarities, but also a few critical differences. In agreement with experiment, the chromium system requires a change from low- to high-spin in the catalytic cycle, whereas the manganese system can proceed either with spin inversion or entirely on the high-spin surface. The low-spin addition of metal oxo species to an alkene leads to an intermediate which forms epoxide either with a barrier on the low-spin surface or without a barrier after spin inversion. Supporting evidence for this intermediate was obtained by using vinylcyclopropane traps. The chromium(v) oxo complexes can adopt a stepped shape or form a more concave surface, analogous to previous results on manganese salen complexes.

- The chiral but highly symmetrical acyclic and cyclic pyromellitic diimide dimers and trimers 2-5 have been obtained and characterized for the first time. The pyromellitdiimide chromophores in these molecules are linked by a rigid diequatorially 1,2-disubstituted cyclohexane skeleton. The structures of the compounds have been determined in detail by molecular modeling and, in the case of cyclic dimer 4 and trimer 5, by means of X-ray diffraction analysis. The electronically excited states of the pyromellitdiimide chromophore (1a) have been studied in these and other model compounds by means of linear dichroism (LD), magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. CD spectra of the rigid cyclic trimer 5 have provided the most detailed information on the excited states of the pyromellitdiimide chromophore. The low-energy tail (340-360 nm) of the absorption envelope can be assigned to out-of-plane polarized n-pi* transitions (I, II). The higher energy bands are due to contributions from up to six pi-pi* transitions, these being polarized either along the long (IV-VI, VIII) or short axis (III, VII). The results of ab initio CIS/cc-pVDZ and semiempirical INDO/S-CI calculations have been compared with the experimental data. CD Cotton effects in the region 200260 nm, which result from exciton interactions between electric dipole allowed transitions of two pyromellitdiimide chromophores in compounds 2-5, provide reliable and useful information concerning the conformation and absolute configuration of these molecules, which may be extrapolated to other oligoimide systems.

- The H/D exchange observed when methane is contacted with D(2)SO(4) at 270-330 degrees C shows that the alkane behaves as a sigma base and undergoes rapid and reversible protonation at this temperature. DFT studies of the hydrogen exchange between a monomer and a dimer of sulfuric acid and methane show that the transition states involved in the exchange are bifunctional, that is one hydrogen atom is transferred from a hydroxy group in sulfuric acid to methane, while one hydrogen atom is abstracted from methane by a non-hydroxy oxygen atom in sulfuric acid. All the transition states include a CH(5) moiety, which shows similarities to the methanium ion CH(5) (+). The calculated potential activation energy of the hydrogen exchange for the monomer is 174 kJ mol(-1), which is close to the experimental value (176 kJ mol(-1)). Solvation of the monomer and the transition state of the monomer with an extra sulfuric acid molecule, decrease the potential activation energy by 6 kJ mol(-1). The acid-base process is in competition, however, with an oxidative process involving methane and sulfuric acid which leads to CO(2), SO(2), and water, and thus to a decrease of acidity and loss of reactivity of the medium.

- The crystal and molecular structure of a polycrystalline powder with a metal-metal bond and the composition TlPt(CN)(5) has been determined by combining results from X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and vibrational spectroscopic studies. The XRD data gave the tetragonal space group P4/nmm (No. 129). with a = 7.647(3), c = 8.049(3) Angstrom, Z = 2, and well-determined positions of the heavy metal atoms. The Pt-Tl bond length in the compound is 2.627(2) Angstrom. The platinum atom coordinates four equivalent equatorial cyano ligands, with a fifth axial CN ligand and a thallium atom completing a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The Tl-Pt(CN)(5) entities are linked together in linear -NC-Pt-Tl-NC-Pt-Tl chains through the axial cyano ligand. These linear wires are the essential structural features and influence the properties of the com-pound. A three-dimensional network is formed by the four equatorial cyano ligands of the platinum atom that form bridges to the thallium atoms of neighbouring antiparallel chains. The platinum atom and the five nitrogen atoms from the bridging cyano groups form a distorted octahedron around the thallium atom. EXAFS data were recorded at the Pt and Tl L-III edges for a more complete description of the local structure around the Pt and Tl atoms. The excessive multiple scattering was evaluated by means of the FEFF program. Raman and infrared absorption spectroscopy reveal strong coupling of the vibrational modes of the TlPt(CN)(5) entities, in particular the metal - metal stretching mode, which is split into four Raman and two IR bands. Factor group theory shows that a structural unit larger than the crystallographic unit cell must be used to assign vibrational bands. Intra- and intermolecular force constants have also been calculated. The compound exhibits red luminescence at 700+/- 3 nm in glycerol and has a corresponding excitation maximum at 240 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) show that the metal atoms have intermediate oxidation states, Pt3.2+ and Tl1.6+, between those in the parent Pt-II and Tl-III species and the decomposition products, Pt-IV and Tl-I. The solid compound TlPt(CN)(5) is stable to 520 degreesC. However in presence of water, a two-electron transfer between the metal atoms results in the cleavage of the metal-metal bond at 80 degreesC, forming a Pt-IV pentacyanohydrate complex and a monovalent thallium ion.

Enhanced Intersystem Crossing in Donor/Acceptor Systems Based on Zinc/Iron or Free-Base/Iron Porphyrins

- The deactivation pathways of the singlet excited state of a series of zinc or free-base donor porphyrins covalently linked by a bridge to a paramagnetic iron(iii) chloride porphyrin acceptor have been studied. These donor-bridge-acceptor systems all share a similar geometry (25 Å donor-acceptor center-to-center distance), but the bridges vary in electronic structure. In previously reported investigations of zinc/iron porphyrin systems, the fluorescence quenching of the donor has predominantly been assigned to electron transfer. However, for the porphyrin systems studied in this paper, we show that the dominant deactivation channels are enhanced intersystem crossing and singlet energy transfer. In both series, the intersystem crossing rate (S1T1) of the donor moiety is almost doubled in the presence of a paramagnetic high-spin metal-porphyrin acceptor. The significant spectral overlap of the donor fluorescence and acceptor absorption in both series allows for efficient singlet energy transfer (Förster mechanism). Furthermore, the bridging chromophores mediate energy transfer and the enhancement is inversely dependent upon the energy gap between the donor and bridge excited states. Although Marcus theory predicts thermodynamically favorable electron transfer to occur in the systems investigated, the quenching rate constants were found to be independent of solvent polarity, and no charge-separated state could be detected, indicating very small electronic coupling for electron transfer.Supporting information for this article is available on the WWW under http://www.wiley-vch.de/contents/jc_2111/2001/f2779_s.pdf or from the author. 1H NMR spectra of FeP, FeP-OB, FeP-BB, FeP-NB, FeP-AB, ZnP-OB-FeP, ZnP-BB-FeP, ZnP-NB-FeP, and ZnP-AB-FeP.

- Ab initio calculations on bismuth polycationic species of the types Bi-n((n-2)+), Bi-n((n-4)+), and Bi-n((n-6)+) (n = 3 -12) were performed at the Hartree -Fock and density functional theory levels in order to investigate their general properties and the applicability of Wade's rules on bismuth polycations. Some exceptions to Wade's rules were encountered, and, moreover, several predicted and calculated minima shaw only meta-stable behavior. The bonding in bismuth polycations is characterized by a high degree of electron delocalization and "three-dimensional aromaticity".

- Several 2,3-disubstituted vinylaziridines have been N-acylated and subjected to LiHMDS in THF at - 78 degreesC. Upon warming to room temperature, the resulting amide enolates underwent a highly stereoselective [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to give mono-, di-, and trisubstituted seven-membered lactams in good yields. The scope and limitations of the process have been investigated by using variously substituted vinylaziridines. A kinetically controlled process proceeding through a six-membered boatlike transition state assembly has been invoked to explain the stereochemical outcome of the reaction.

- Transfer hydrogenation of a variety of different imines to the corresponding amines by propan-2-ol in benzene catalyzed by [Ru2(CO)4(Ό-H)(C4Ph4COHOCC4Ph4)] (1) has been studied. The reaction is highly efficient with turnover frequencies of over 800 per h, and the product amines were obtained in excellent yields. A remarkable concn. dependence of propan-2-ol was obsd. when the reaction was run in benzene as cosolvent. An optimum was obtained at 24 equiv of propan-2-ol to imine, and further increase of the propan-2-ol led to a dramatic decrease in rate. Also the use of polar cosolvents with 24 equiv of propan-2-ol gave a low rate. It was found that ketimines react faster than aldimines and that electron-donating substituents on the imine increase the rate of the catalytic transfer hydrogenation. Electron-withdrawing substituents decreased the rate. An isomerization was obsd. with imines having an α-hydrogen at the N-alkyl substituent, which is in accordance with a mechanism involving a ruthenium-amine intermediate. It was demonstrated that the ruthenium-amine complex from α-methylbenzylamine, corresponding to the postulated intermediate, can replace 1 as catalyst in the transfer hydrogenation of imines. A primary deuterium isotope effect of kCH/CD = 2.7 ± 0.25 was obsd. when 2-deuterio-propan-2-ol was used in place of propan-2-ol in the transfer hydrogenation of N-phenyl-(1-phenylethylidene)amine.

- The stability of gold iodides in the oxidation state +I and +III is investigated at the ab initio and density functional level using relativistic and nonrelativistic energy-adjusted pseudopotentials for gold and iodine. The calculations reveal that relativistic effects stabilize the higher oxidation state of gold as expected, that is Au2I6 is thermodynamically stable at the relativistic level, whilst at the nonrelativistic level the complex of two iodine molecules weakly bound to both gold atoms in Au2I2 is energetically preferred. The rather low stability of AuI3 with respect to dissociation into AuI and I-2 Will make it difficult to isolate this species in the solid state as (possibly) Au2I6 or detect it by matrix-isolation techniques. The monomer Au-3, is Jahn-Teller distorted from the ideal trigonal planar (D-3h) form, but adopts a Y-shaped structure (in contrast to AuF3 and AuCl3), and in the nonrelativistic case can be described as I-2 weakly bound to AuI. Relativistic effects turn AuI3 from a static Jahn-Teller system to a dynamic one. For the yet undetected gas-phase species AuI accurate coupled-cluster calculations for the potential energy curve are used to predict vibrational-rotational constants. Solid-state density functional calculations are performed for AuI and Au2I6 in order to predict cohesive energies.

- Theoretical calculations that compare the Ij ion and the [AuI4](-) ion show that they are closely related and have potential energy surface (PES) minima corresponding to an L-shaped structure. These calculations also indicate that the I-3(-) and [AuI2](-) ions should be exchangeable. These results were confirmed by the synthesis of the compounds (Et3S)[AuI4]. 2I(2) (1) and (Me3S)(2)[AuI4][I-3] (4), which have been characterised by X-ray diffraction, Raman and far-IR spectroscopy. The structure of 1 is made up of [AuI4](-) units coordinated by infinite zig-zag chains of I, molecules, and can be regarded as [AuI4](-) ions incorporated into a polyiodide network. The structure of 4 is closely related to those of the compounds of the M2Au2X6 family (M = Cs+, Rb+, NH4+, K+; X = Cl-, Br-, I-) which consist of square-planar [AuX4](-) and linear [AuX2](-) ions. However, in the structure of 4, the [AuX2](-) ions are replaced by IS ions.

- Trivalent lanthanide-like metal ions coordinate nine water oxygen atoms, which form a tricapped trigonal prism in a large number of crystalline hydrates. Water deficiency, randomly distributed over the capping positions, was found for the smallest metal ions in the isomorphous nonahydrated trifluoromethanesulfonates, [M(H2O)(n)]CF3SO3)(3), in which M=Sc-III, Lu-III, Yb-III, Tm-III or Er-III. The hydration number n increases (n=8.0(1), 8.4(1), 8.7(1), 8.8(1) and 8.96(5), respectively) with increasing ionic size. Deuterium (H-2) solid-state NMR spectroscopy revealed fast positional exchange between the coordinated capping and prism water molecules; this exchange started at temperatures higher than about 280 K for lutetium(m) and below 268 K for scandium(m). Similar positional exchange for the fully nonahydrated yttrium(m) and lanthanum(m) compounds started at higher temperatures, over about 330 and 360 K, respectively. An exchange mechanism is proposed that can exchange equatorial and capping water molecules within the restrictions of the crystal lattice, even for fully hydrated lanthanoid(III) ions. Phase transitions occurred for all the water-deficient compounds at; 185 K. The hydrated scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate transforms reversibly (Delta H degrees= -0.80(1) kJ mol(-1) on cooling) to a trigonal unit cell that is almost nine times larger, with the scandium ion surrounded by seven fully occupied and two partly occupied oxygen atom positions in a distorted capped trigonal prism. The hydrogen bonding to the trifluoromethanesulfonate anions stabilises the trigonal prism of water ligands, even for the crowded hydration sphere of the smallest metal ions in the series. Implications for the Lewis acid catalytic activity of the hydrated scandium(III) and lanthanoid(III) trifluoromethanesulfonates for organic syntheses performed in aqueous media are discussed.

- All studies on oxygen-evolution reaction by Mn oxides in the presence of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) have been so far carried out by synthesizing Mn oxides in the first step. And then, followed by the investigation of the Mn oxides in the presence of oxidants for oxygen-evolution reaction (OER). This paper presents a case study of a new and promising strategy for in situ catalyst synthesis by the adding Mn-II to either CAN or KMnO4/CAN solution, resulting in the formation of Mn-based catalysts for OER. The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Both compounds contained nano-sized particles that catalyzed OER in the presence of CAN. The turnover frequencies for both catalysts were 0.02 (mmolO2 /mol(Mn).

- Site-specific conjugation approaches are of great importance in drug discovery, notably for the synthesis of biochemical probes or molecular conjugates for targeted delivery. Herein, we report a mild ionic liquid (IL)-mediated thiolation technique that relies on the use of 1,3-ethyl-methyl imidazolium acetate, [C(2)mim][OAc] as a solvent and precursor to generate activated IL, as well as a solvent for the conjugation reaction. First, a focused library of active ILs was prepared for functionalizing/conjugating cysteine-containing small molecules and unprotected peptides. Interestingly, a bifunctional active IL could also be successfully employed as a linker for the conjugation of peptides lacking Cys. This study sets the ground for further investigation of the use of active ILs for modifying, labeling or conjugating larger and more complex therapeutic modalities such as proteins and antibodies.

- Herein, we report monomeric and dimeric norbornadiene-quadricyclane molecular photoswitch systems intended for molecular solar thermal applications. A series of six new norbornadiene derivatives conjugated with benzothiadiazole as the acceptor unit and dithiafulvene as the donor unit were synthesized and fully characterized. The photoswitches were evaluated by experimentally and theoretically measuring optical absorption profiles and thermal conversion of quadricyclane to norbornadiene. Computational insight by density functional theory calculations at the M06-2X/def2-SVPD level of theory provided geometries, storage energies, UV-vis absorption spectra, and HOMO-LUMO levels that are used to describe the function of the molecular systems. The studied molecules exhibit absorption onset ranging from 416 nm to 595 nm due to a systemic change in their donor-acceptor character. This approach was advantageous due to the introduction of benzothiadiazole and the dimeric nature of molecular structures. The best-performing system has a half-life of 3 days with quantum yields over 50 %.

- The first direct intermolecular regiospecific and highly enantioselective a-allylic alkylation of linear aldehydes by a combination of achiral bench-stable Pd0 complexes and simple chiral amines as co-catalysts is disclosed. The co-catalytic asymmetric chemoselective and regiospecific a-allylic alkylation reaction is linked in tandem with in situ reduction to give the corresponding 2-alkyl alcohols with high enantiomeric ratios (up to 98:2 e.r.; e.r.=enantiomeric ratio). It is also an expeditious entry to valuable 2-alkyl substituted hemiacetals, 2-alkyl-butane-1,4-diols, and amines. The concise co-catalytic asymmetric total syntheses of biologically active natural products (e.g., Arundic acid) are disclosed.

- Amino acid based thioamides, hydroxamic acids, and hydrazides have been evaluated as ligands in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones in 2-propanol. Catalysts containing thioamide ligands derived from L-valine were found to selectively generate the product with an R configuration (95 % ee), whereas the corresponding L-valine-based hydroxamic acids or hydrazides facilitated the formation of the (S)-alcohols (97 and 91 % ee, respectively). The catalytic reduction was examined by performing a structure–activity correlation investigation with differently functionalized or substituted ligands and the results obtained indicate that the major difference between the thioamide and hydroxamic acid based catalysts is the coordination mode of the ligands. Kinetic experiments were performed and the rate constants for the reduction reactions were determined by using rhodium–arene catalysts derived from amino acid thioamide and hydroxamic acid ligands. The data obtained show that the thioamide-based catalyst systems demonstrate a pseudo-first-order dependence on the substrate, whereas pseudo-zero-order dependence was observed for the hydroxamic acid containing catalysts. Furthermore, the kinetic experiments revealed that the rate-limiting steps of the two catalytic systems differ. From the data obtained in the structure–activity correlation investigation and along with the kinetic investigation it was concluded that the enantioswitchable nature of the catalysts studied originates from different ligand coordination, which affects the rate-limiting step of the catalytic reduction reaction.

- The title reaction has been investigated by experimental and computational (DFT) techniques, and subsequently compared to the corresponding carbocupration reaction, with particular emphasis oil the stereoselectivity. For stannylcupration of an ynone substrate, only the anti-addition product is observed, whereas for the corresponding ynoate substrate, the stereoselectivity can be affected by the reaction conditions: in the presence of methanol as proton donor, the initial syn-addition product can be trapped, whereas a syn/anti mixture is obtained in a non-protic solvent. This is in sharp contrast to the carbocupration of the same ynone substrate with a cyanocuprate (RCu(CN)Li), which is highly selective for syn-addition. The product selectivities can be understood from a detailed computational characterization of the reaction paths, and in particular from the relative stabilities of the vinyl cuprate and allenolate intermediates. It is suggested that the stereodetermining step is protonation of vinyl cuprate intermediates.

- Cyclometallation of 8-methylquinoline and 2-(dimethylamino)-pyridine in an iridium-based pincer complex is described. The C-H activation of 2-(dimethylamino) pyridine is not chelation assisted, which has not been described before for Csp(3)-H bonds in cyclometallation reactions. The mechanism of the cyclometallation of 2-(dimethylamino) pyridine was studied by DFT calculations and kinetic measurements.
