Isomerization Process (isomerization + process)
Selected AbstractsStructure Comparison of Early and Late Lanthanide(III) Homodinuclear Macrocyclic Complexes with the Polyamine Polycarboxylic Ligand H8OHECEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 19 2004Ulrike A. Böttger Abstract The solid-state structures of two new homodinuclear chelate complexes with the late lanthanide(III) ions Yb and Lu, [Na2(Yb2OHEC)].14.5H2O (1), and [Na2(Lu2OHEC)].14.5H2O (2) (H8OHEC = 1,4,7,10,14,17,20,23-octaazacyclohexacosane- 1,4,7,10,14,17,20,23-octaacetic acid), have been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Each lanthanide(III) ion is coordinated by eight donor atoms of the ligand and the geometry of the coordination polyhedron approaches a bicapped trigonal prism. These structures are compared with those of the homodinuclear chelate complexes with the same ligand and the mid to early lanthanide(III) ions Gd, Eu, La and also Y. A distinctive structural change occurs across the lanthanide series. The centrosymmetric mid to early lanthanide(III) complexes are all ninefold-coordinated in a capped square antiprismatic arrangement with a water molecule coordinated in a prismatic position. This structure is maintained in aqueous solution, together with an asymmetric minor isomer. The late lanthanide(III) OHEC complexes not only lack the inner-sphere water, but the change of coordination sphere also results in a loss of symmetry of the whole complex molecule. The observed change of coordination mode and number of the lanthanide ion may offer a geometric model for the isomerization process in eight- and ninefold-coordinated complex species that are isomers in a possible coordination equilibrium observed by NMR in aqueous solution. This model may also explain the intramolecular rearrangements necessary during water exchange in the inner coordination sphere of the complex [(Gd2OHEC)(H2O)2]2, through a slow dissociative mechanism. Protonation constants of the H8OHEC ligand and complex formation constants of this ligand with GdIII, CaII, CuII and ZnII have been determined by solution thermodynamic studies.

Pyrolysis of medium- and large-ring 3-vinylcycloalkanones by dynamic gas-phase thermo-isomerization (DGPTI) at 600,630° yielded, under insertion of a previously attached vinyl side chain by means of a 1,3-C shift, the corresponding ,,, -unsaturated cycloalkanones. The yield of the two-carbon ring-expanded ketones greatly depended on the relative ring strains of substrate and product (5,87%, cf. Table,5). The formation of minor amounts of one-carbon ring-expanded cycloalkenes (<10%) can be ascribed to a subsequent decarbonylation step. A reaction mechanism involving initial cleavage of the weakest single bond in the molecule has been established (cf. Scheme,6). Recombination within the generated diradical intermediate in terminal vinylogous position led to the observed products, while reclosure gave recovered starting material. Substituents on the vinyl moiety were transferred locospecifically into the ring-expanded products. An isopropenyl group did not significantly affect the isomerization process, whereas substrates bearing a prop-1-enyl group in , -position enabled competing intramolecular H-abstraction reactions, leading to acyclic dienones (cf. Schemes,9,11). DGPTI of the 13-membered analogue directly yielded 4-muscenone, which, upon hydrogenation, led to the valuable musk odorant (±)-muscone. Increasing the steric hindrance on the vinyl moiety gave rise to diminishing amounts of the desired ,,, -unsaturated cycloalkanones. This novel two-carbon ring-expansion protocol was also successfully applied to 3-ethynylcycloalkanones, giving rise to the corresponding ring-expanded cyclic allenes (cf. Scheme,13). [source] Aluminate and Magnesiate Complexes as Propagating Species in the Anionic Polymerization of Styrene and DienesMACROMOLECULAR SYMPOSIA, Issue 1 2004Alain Deffieux Abstract The influence of MgR2 and AlR3 additives on alkyllithium initiators in the anionic polymerization of butadiene has been investigated in non polar solvents. A strong decrease of the diene polymerization rate in the presence of the two Lewis acids was observed, similarly to that observed in the retarded anionic polymerisation of styrene. With n,s-Bu2Mg, the percentage of 1,2 vinyl units increases with the [Mg]/[Li] ratio. This behavior is specific to magnesium derivatives bearing secondary alkyl groups and likely results from the additional complexation of lithium species by free dialkylmagnesium and/or a 1,4- to 1,2- chain end isomerization process during chain exchanges between polybutadienyl active chains and dormant ones attached to magnesium species. These reversible exchanges also lead to the formation of one supplementary chain by initial dialkyl magnesium which acts as reversible chain transfer agent. On the contrary with the R3Al/RLi systems the number of chains is only determined by the concentration of initial alkyllithium and no modification of the polybutadiene microstructure compared to lithium initiators (1,4 units = 80%) is noticed. Dialkyl magnesiate complexes with alkali metal derivatives (i.e. alkoxide) are also able to influence the stereochemistry of the styrene insertion during the propagation reaction. Polystyrenes with different tacticities ranging from predominantly isotactic (85% triad iso) to syndiotactic (80% triad syndio) can be obtained with these initiators. [source] Photophysics and Photochemistry of z -Chlorprothixene in Acetonitrile,PHOTOCHEMISTRY & PHOTOBIOLOGY, Issue 4 2009Luis E. Piñero Chlorprothixene (CPTX, Taractan®) is a low potency antipsychotic mainly used for the treatment of psychotic disorders (e.g. schizophrenia) and acute mania occurring as part of bipolar disorders. As in the case of other numerous drugs used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, CPTX presents geometric isomerism. Therefore, in vitro irradiation induces a rapid Z/E isomerization, which can affect its pharmacokinetic properties. This photoisomerization is not dependent on the oxygen concentration. The Z/E quantum yields determined for zCPTX in acetonitrile are 0.22 and 0.21 in anaerobic and aerobic environments, respectively. In the presence of water, both isomers decompose to produce 2-chlorothioxanthone (CTX) after prolonged irradiation. This process strongly depends on the water concentration and the irradiation time, i.e. it is autocatalyzed by the CTX through a triplet-energy transfer mechanism. The protonation state of the terminal amino group, on the other hand, has no effect on the isomerization process, but inhibits the formation of CTX. These results indicate that the phototoxicity of zCPTX is somehow affected by the formation of CTX. [source] Tunable haptotropic metal migration in fused arenes: towards organometallic switches,THE CHEMICAL RECORD, Issue 2 2004Karl Heinz Dötz Abstract Tricarbonyl chromium complexes of naphthalene derivatives are synthesized by chromium-templated [3,+,2,+,1]-benzannulation and subjected to thermally induced haptotropic rearrangement experiments. Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for the metal shift demonstrate the influence of the arene substitution pattern. In turn, the chromium template may be tuned as well by phosphorus coligands which allow to accelerate or slow down the isomerization process; this effect quantitatively reflects the steric and electronic properties of the coligand sphere. Proper adjustment of the template allows for a photo-induced reverse migration of the chromium moiety which results in a switchable organometallic device. Experiments with enantiopure arene chromium complexes indicate a stereospecific metal migration. The rearrangement proceeds by an intramolecular mechanism in both directions. Haptotropic isomerization reactions are not limited to bicyclic arenes and can be extended from naphthalenes to phenanthrene or tetra- and pentacyclic heteroarene systems. © 2004 The Japan Chemical Journal Forum and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Photochromic behaviour of the HTI molecule is observed by irradiation with UV/Vis light. The photochemical reaction, a Z/E isomerization around the central double bond connecting the two molecular parts, is investigated by transient absorption and emission spectroscopy. For a special HTI molecule, namely, an ,-amino acid, the Z,E isomerization process occurs on a timescale of 30 ps. In the course of the reaction fast processes on the 1,10 ps timescale are observed which point to motions of the molecule on the potential-energy surface of the excited state. The combination of transient absorption experiments in the visible spectral range with time-resolved fluorescence and infrared measurements reveal a photochemical pathway with three intermediate states. Together with a theoretical modelling procedure the experiments point to a sequential reaction scheme and give indications of the nature of the involved intermediates. [source] Spin-Orbit Ab Initio Investigation of the Ultraviolet Photolysis of DiiodomethaneCHEMPHYSCHEM, Issue 6 2007Ya-Jun Liu Dr. Abstract The UV photodissociation (<5 eV) of diiodomethane (CH2I2) is investigated by spin-orbit ab initio calculations. The experimentally observed photodissociation channels in the gas and condensed phases are clearly assigned by multi-state second-order multiconfigurational perturbation theory in conjunction with spin-orbit interaction through complete active space-state interaction potential energy curves. The calculated results indicate that the fast dissociations of the first two singlet states of CH2I2 and CH2II lead to geminate-radical products, CH2I,.+I(2P3/2) or CH2I,.+ I*(2P1/2). The recombination process from CH2II to CH2I2 is explained by an isomerization process and a secondary photodissociation reaction of CH2II. Finally, the study reveals that spin-orbits effects are significant in the quantitative analysis of the electronic spectrum of the CH2II species. [source] | ||||||||||
