Silicon-Assisted Direct Covalent Grafting on Metal Oxide Surfaces: Synthesis and Characterization of Carboxylate N,N,-Ligands on TiO2

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 11 2010

Abstract The easy covalent bonding of an OH-bearing molecule onto a metal oxide surface can be done by transesterifying a trimethylsilylated hydroxy function with the surface OH groups. This results in the grafting of the organic molecule directly on the matrix, accompanied by the formation of trimethylsilanol, which can easily be eliminated as volatile hexamethyldisiloxane and water. This was accomplished on a TiO2 matrix with three carboxylic acids: acetic, isonicotinic, and 2,2,-bipyridyl-4,4,-dicarboxylic acids. The N,N,-immobilized ligand was then used for a dioxidomolybdenum entity and tested as such at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure O2 oxidation of ethylbenzene. All intermediates and grafted species were fully characterized by 13CMAS NMR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric and elemental analysis. [source]


endo and exo Coordination of Indanol: Synthesis, Isolation and Structural Characterisation of [H3Ru3(endo -Indanol)(C6Me6)2(O)]+ and [H3Ru3(exo -Indanol)(C6Me6)2(O)]+ as Their Tetrafluoroborate Salts

Abstract The reaction of 2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-1H -inden-2-ol with ruthenium chloride hydrate in refluxing ethanol yields the chloro-bridged dinuclear complex [RuCl2(indanol)]2 (1). The mononuclear complex [Ru(indanol)(H2O)3]2+ (2), formed in situ from 1 in aqueous solution, reacts with the dinuclear complex [H3Ru2(C6Me6)2]+ to give a trinuclear arene-ruthenium cluster as a mixture of two isomers, the cations [H3Ru3(endo -indanol)(C6Me6)2(O)]+ (3a) and [H3Ru3(exo -indanol)(C6Me6)2(O)]+ (3b), in a 1:1 ratio. The hydroxy function of the indanol ligand is oriented towards the ,3 -oxo cap of 3a, whereas the OH group is bent away from the metal skeleton of 3b. These two isomers, which can easily be separated by silica-gel chromatography, were isolated and characterised as their tetrafluoroborate salts. The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of [3a][BF4] shows a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond between the ,3 -oxo ligand and the hydroxyl function, which even persists in acetone solution, as demonstrated by NMR spectroscopy. On the other hand, the hydroxy function of 3b was found to be free in the solid state as well as in solution, as shown by an X-ray crystal structure analysis and by NMR spectroscopy. The catalytic activities of the water-soluble trinuclear cations 3a and 3b for the hydrogenation of benzene to give cyclohexane under biphasic conditions are considerably different, the exo isomer 3b being more active than the endo isomer 3a.

Abstract The introduction of siloxy groups at the hydroxy function of natural threonine resulted in efficient hydrophobic organocatalysts, which could efficiently catalyze the direct aldol reactions of both cyclic and acyclic ketones with aromatic aldehydes in water with excellent enantiomeric excess.

Hydrogen-bonded assemblies of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin with dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and water

The title free base porphyrin compound forms hydrogen-bonded adducts with N,N -dimethylformamide, C44H30N4O4·4C3H7NO, (I), a mixture of N,N -dimethylformamide and water, C44H30N4O4·4C3H7NO·H2O, (II), and a mixture of N,N -dimethylacetamide and water, C44H30N4O4·6C3H7NO·2H2O, (III). Total solvation of the four hydroxy functions of the porphyrin molecules characterizes all three compounds, thus preventing its supramolecular association into extended network architectures. In (I), the asymmetric unit consist of two five-component adduct species, while in (III), the nine-component entities reside on centres of inversion. This report provides the first structural characterizations of the free base tetra(hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin. It also demonstrates that the presence of strong Lewis bases, such as dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, in the crystallization mixture prevents direct supramolecular networking of the porphyrin ligands via O,H...O,H hydrogen bonds, due to their competing O,H...N(base) interaction with the hydroxy functions. The crystal packing of compounds (I),(III) resembles that of other hydrogen-bonding-assisted tetraarylporphyrin clathrates. [source]
