    Notes: Abstract The advent of cloning animals has created a maelstrom of social concern about the “ethical issues” associated with the possibility of cloning humans. When the “ethical concerns” are clearly examined, however, many of them turn out to be less matters of rational ethics than knee-jerk emotion, religious bias, or fear of that which is not understood. Three categories of real and spurious ethical concerns are presented and discussed: 1) that cloning is intrinsically wrong, 2) that cloning must lead to bad consequences, and 3) that cloning harms the organism generated. The need for a rational ethical framework for discussing biotechnological advances is presented and defended.

    Notes: Abstract The biosynthetic pathway to 4-hydroxybenzoate (4HB), a precursor of the naphthoquinone pigment shikonin, was modified in Lithospermum erythrorhizon hairy root cultures by introduction of the bacterial gene ubiC. This gene of Escherichia coli encodes chorismate pyruvate-lyase (CPL), an enzyme that converts chorismate into 4HB and is not normally present in plants. The ubiC gene was fused to the sequence for a chloroplast transit peptide and placed under control of a constitutive plant promoter. This construct was introduced into L. erythrorhizon by Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation. The resulting hairy root cultures showed high CPL activity. 4HB produced by the CPL reaction was utilized for shikonin biosynthesis, as shown by in vivo inhibition of the native pathway to 4HB with 2-aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP), an inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. A feeding experiment with [1,7-13C2]shikimate showed that in the absence of AIP the artificially introduced CPL reaction contributed ca. 20% of the overall 4HB biosynthesis in the transgenic cultures. ubiC transformation did not lead to a statistically significant increase of shikonin formation, but to a 5-fold increase of the accumulation of menisdaurin, a nitrile glucoside which is presumably related to aromatic amino acid metabolism.

    Notes: Abstract Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco; EC 4.1.1.39) has played a central role in our understanding of chloroplast biogenesis and photosynthesis. In particular, its catalysis of the rate-limiting step of CO2 fixation, and the mutual competition of CO2 and O2 at the active site, makes Rubisco a prime focus for genetically engineering an increase in photosynthetic productivity. Although it remains difficult to manipulate the chloroplast-encoded large subunit and nuclear-encoded small subunit of crop plants, much has been learned about the structure/function relationships of Rubisco by expressing prokaryotic genes in Escherichia coli or by exploiting classical genetics and chloroplast transformation of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. However, the complexity of chloroplast Rubisco in land plants cannot be completely addressed with the existing model organisms. Two subunits encoded in different genetic compartments have coevolved in the formation of the Rubisco holoenzyme, but the function of the small subunit remains largely unknown. The subunits are posttranslationally modified, assembled via a complex process, and degraded in regulated ways. There is also a second chloroplast protein, Rubisco activase, that is responsible for removing inhibitory molecules from the large-subunit active site. Many of these complex interactions and processes display species specificity. This means that attempts to engineer or discover a better Rubisco may be futile if one cannot transfer the better enzyme to a compatible host. We must frame the questions that address this problem of chloroplast-Rubisco complexity. We must work harder to find the answers.

    Notes: Abstract Highly efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) was obtained by first wounding stem explants via microprojectile bombardment. When this was followed by cocultivation with disarmed Agrobacterium in the dark, the transformation frequency-based on transient GUS expression-increased to over 10-fold that of explants wounded by other means and cocultivated under constant light. Two cycles of regeneration/selection on kanamycin were employed to generate stably transformed carnation plants and eliminate chimeras: first, plantlets were regenerated from inoculated stem explants and then leaves from these plantlets were used to generate transgenes in a second selection cycle of adventitious shoot regeneration. Agrobacterium strain AGLO, carrying the binary vector pCGN7001 containing uidA and nptII genes, was used in the stable transformation experiments. The combination of wounding via bombardment, cocultivation in the dark and two cycles of kanamycin selection yielded an overall transformation efficiency of 1–2 transgenes per 10 stem explants for the three carnation varieties analyzed. Histochemical and molecular analyses of marker genes in T0 and T1 generations confirmed the transgenic nature of the selected plants.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic improvement in plantation forestry relies significantly on conventional breeding techniques which have been used extensively to improve various characteristics in forest trees such as growth and form, volume yield, resistance to pathogens and quality of the end product. This review concentrates on molecular techniques which have been used successfully in agriculture and which have more recently become available to improve further characteristics of forest trees and introduce new traits which are currently not available in the breeding population.

    Notes: The 1,3-1,4-β-glucanases from Bacillus macerans and Bacillus licheniformis, as well as related hybrid enzymes, are stable proteins comprised of one compact jellyroll domain. Their structures are studied in an effort to reveal the degree of redundancy to which the three-dimensional structure of protein domains is encoded by the amino acid sequence. For the hybrid 1,3-1,4-β-glucanase H(A16-M), it could be shown recently that a circular permutation of the sequence giving rise to the variant cpA16M-59 is compatible with wildtype-like enzymatic activity and tertiary structure (Hahn et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:10417-10421, 1994). Since the circular permutation yielding cpA16M-59 mimicks that found in the homologous enzyme from Fibrobacter succinogenes, the question arose whether de novo circular permutations, not guided by molecular evolution of the 1,3-1,4-β-glucanases, could also produce proteins with native-like fold. The circularly permuted variants cpA16M-84, cpA16M-127, and cpA16M-154 were generated by PCR mutagenesis of the gene encoding H(A16-M), synthesized in Escherichia coli and shown to be active in β-glucan hydrolysis. CpA16M-84 and cpA16M-127 were crystallized in space groups P21 and P1, respectively, and their crystal structures were determined at 1.80 and 2.07 Å resolution. In both proteins the main parts of the β-sheet structure remain unaffected by the circular permutation as is evident from a root-mean-square deviation of main chain atoms from the reference structure within the experimental error. The only major structural perturbation occurs near the novel chain termini in a surface loop of cpA16M-84, which becomes destabilized and rearranged. The results of this study are interpreted to show that: (1) several circular permutations in the compact jellyroll domain of the 1,3-1,4-β-glucanases are tolerated without radical change of enzymatic activity or tertiary structure, (2) the three-dimensional structures of simple domains are encoded by the amino acid sequence with sufficient redundancy to tolerate a change in the sequential order of secondary structure elements along the sequence, and (3) the native N-terminal region is not needed to guide the folding polypeptide chain toward its native conformation.

    Notes: Aspartate aminotransferase (AATase) and aminocyclopropane carboxylate synthase (ACC synthase) are pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes whose common junction of mechanistic divergence is after the formation of a Cα carbanion from the amino acid substrate bound to PLP as a Schiff base (aldimine). AATase catalyzes the reversible interconversion of α-amino acids and α-keto acids, while ACC synthase effects the irreversible decomposition of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) and 5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA). ACC is subsequently converted to ethylene, the plant ripening and senescence hormone, by ACC oxidase, the next enzyme in the pathway. AATase and ACC synthase exhibit many similar phenomenological characteristics that result from different detailed mechanistic origins. The kcat/KM versus pH profiles for both enzymes are similar (AATase, acidic pKa = 6.9, basic pKa = 9.6; ACC synthase, acidic pKa = 7.5, basic pKa = 8.9); however the acidic pKa of AATase reflects the ionization of an enzyme proton from the internal Schiff base, and the basic one is that of the α-amino group of the substrate, while the opposite situation obtains for ACC synthase, i.e. the apparent pKa of 7.4 is due to the α-amino group of SAM, whereas that of 9 reflects the Schiff base pKa. The mechanistic imperative underlying this reversal is dictated by the reaction mechanism and the low pKa of the α-amino group of SAM. The low pKa of SAM requires that the enzyme pKa be moved upward in order to have sufficient quantities of the reacting species at neutral pH. It is shown by viscosity variation experiments with wild-type and active site mutant controls of both enzymes that the reaction of SAM with ACC synthase is 100% diffusion controlled (kcat/KM = 1.2 × 106 l mol-1 s-1) while the corresponding reaction for the combination of L-aspartate with AATase is insensitive to viscosity, and is therefore chemically not diffusion limited. Tyr225 (AATase) or Tyr233 (ACC synthase) forms a hydrogen bond with the PLP in both enzymes, but that formed with the former enzyme is stronger and accounts for the lower pKa of the Schiff base. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Abstract One transgenic rabbit line was generated carrying a fusion gene consisting of the cDNA for human IGF-1 fused to a mammary gland specific expression cassette derived from bovine alpha-S1-casein sequences. Transgene expression was shown to be strictly tissue and lactation period specific. The transgenic rabbit line was bred for six generations. All transgenic animals showed stable production of biologically active IGF-1 over the generations and no apparent effect on the physiological or reproductive performance was observed. The absence of adverse effects on homozygous transgenic rabbits suggested the absence of insertional mutagenesis. Eight hemizygous transgenic offspring analysed produced on average 363 ± 12μg/ml (ranging from 223 ± 61 to 484 ± 39 μg/ml) mature human IGF-1 in their milk, whereas three homozygous animals produced on average 543 ± 41 μg/ml (ranging from 360 ± 15 to 678 ± 80 μg/ml). Homozygous huIGF-1 females clearly showed a significantly increased production performance of the recombinant protein.

    Notes: Abstract Genetically engineered rice (Oryza sativa L.) with the ability to synthesize glycinebetaine was established by introducing the codA gene for choline oxidase from the soil bacterium Arthrobacter globiformis. Levels of glycinebetaine were as high as 1 and 5 μmol per gram fresh weight of leaves in two types of transgenic plant in which choline oxidase was targeted to the chloroplasts (ChlCOD plants) and to the cytosol (CytCOD plants), respectively. Although treatment with 0.15 m NaCl inhibited the growth of both wild-type and transgenic plants, the transgenic plants began to grow again at the normal rate after a significantly less time than the wild-type plants after elimination of the salt stress. Inactivation of photosynthesis, used as a measure of cellular damage, indicated that ChlCOD plants were more tolerant than CytCOD plants to photoinhibition under salt stress and low-temperature stress. These results indicated that the subcellular compartmentalization of the biosynthesis of glycinebetaine was a critical element in the efficient enhancement of tolerance to stress in the engineered plants.

    Notes: Abstract Blackspot, caused by the Ascomycete fungus Diplocarpon rosae, is the most widespread and pernicious disease of cultivated roses. While some species of rose possess resistance to D. rosae, none of the modern-day rose cultivars are fully resistant to the pathogen. In the current study, Biolistic gene delivery was used to introduce a rice gene, encoding a basic (Class I), chitinase into embryogenic callus of the blackspot-susceptible rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cv. Glad Tidings. The plasmid used for transformation carried the neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) gene facilitating the selection and regeneration of transgenic plants on medium containing 250 mg/l kanamycin. Southern analysis confirmed integration of 2–6 copies of the chitinase gene into the rose genome; gene expression was confirmed by enzyme assay. Bioassays demonstrated that expression of the chitinase transgene reduced the severity of blackspot development by 13–43%. This degree of resistance to the pathogen correlated with the level of chitinase expression in the transgenic rose plants. The introduction of disease defence genes into rose provides a method of producing blackspot-resistant rose cultivars sought by breeders and growers.

    Notes: Ten microbial genomes have been fully sequenced to date, and the sequencing of many more genomes is expected to be completed before the end of the century. The assignment of function to open reading frames (ORFs) is progressing, and for some genomes over 70% of functional assignments have been made. The majority of the assigned ORFs relate to metabolic functions. Thus, the complete genetic and biochemical functions of a number of microbial cells may be soon available. From a metabolic engineering standpoint, these developments open a new realm of possibilities. Metabolic analysis and engineering strategies can now be built on a sound genomic basis. An important question that now arises; how should these tasks be approached? Flux-balance analysis (FBA) has the potential to play an important role. It is based on the fundamental principle of mass conservation. It requires only the stoichiometric matrix, the metabolic demands, and some strain specific parameters. Importantly, no enzymatic kinetic data is required. In this article, we show how the genomically defined microbial metabolic genotypes can be analyzed by FBA. Fundamental concepts of metabolic genotype, metabolic phenotype, metabolic redundancy and robustness are defined and examples of their use given. We discuss the advantage of this approach, and how FBA is expected to find uses in the near future. FBA is likely to become an important analysis tool for genomically based approaches to metabolic engineering, strain design, and development. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The bacterial hemoglobin from Vitreoscilla has been shown to increase growth yield and yield of genetically engineered product in Escherichia coli. To test the generality of this phenomenon, the approximately 560-bp bacterial (Vitreoscilla) hemoglobin gene (vgb) (including the native promoter), cloned into the vector pUC8 in two constructs containing about 1650 and 850 bp, respectively, of Vitreoscilla DNA downstream of vgb, was transformed into Serratia marcescens. After several transfers of the transformants on selective media, both plasmids became stable in this host and the resulting strains produced hemoglobin. Both transformants were compared, regarding growth in liquid Luria-Bertani (LB) medium, with untransformed S. marcescens and S. marcescens transformed with pUC8. The vgb-bearing strains had about 5 times lower maximum viable cell numbers than the strains without hemoglobin, but the former also had late log or early stationary phase cells that were 5-10 times larger than those of the latter. Further, on a dry cell mass basis the presence of vgb inhibited cell growth in liquid media. In contrast, growth of the vgb-bearing strains on LB plates based on cell mass (determined from colony size) was markedly enhanced compared with that of the pUC8 transformant. Respiration of the vgb-bearing strains was lower than that of the strains without vgb on a cell mass basis. These results show that the presence of vgb can have idiosyncratic effects and is not always an aid to cell growth so that its use for genetic engineering must be tested on a case by case basis. ©1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We described genetically engineered syntheses of tandem repetitive polypeptides consisting of glycine-rich sequence, GlyLeuGlyGlyGlnGlyGlyGlyAlaGlyGlnGlyGlyTyrGly, designated SCAP(1), in spidroin I of spider dragline silk from Nephila clavipes and the secondary conformational analyses in the solid state by Fourier transform ir measurements. The polypeptides composed of 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, or 13 repeats of SCAP(1) were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified by nickel chelate affinity chromatography, and then cleaved with cyanogen bromide to release N- and C-terminal extensions. Typical yields were from 1.2 to 5.2 mg of lyophilized uncleaved polypeptides per liter of fermentation medium at an absorbance of 2.0 at 600 nm, and the production levels increased with decreasing the molecular weight of the expressed polypeptides. The lyophilized powder of cleaved SCAP(13) adopted the random coil, whereas the cast film from formic acid formed the β-sheet structure. The conformational results might indicate that the glycine-rich sequence formed β-sheet structure in spidroin I. Cleaved SCAP(13) started to decompose under nitrogen at ca. 230°C, which was in agreement with the decomposition temperature of the spider dragline silk from N. clavipes. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Summary The recently completed diabetes complications and control trial has highlighted the need for improvement of insulin delivery systems for treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Despite steady improvement in methods for islet and whole pancreas transplantation over the past three decades, the broad-scale applicability of these approaches remains uncertain due in part to the difficulty and expense associated with procurement of functional tissue. To address this concern, we and others have been using the tools of molecular biology to develop cell lines with regulated insulin secretion that might serve as a surrogate for primary islets or pancreas tissue in transplantation therapy. This article seeks to provide a brief summary of the current status of this growing field, with a particular emphasis on progress in producing cell lines with appropriate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

    Notes: Abstract Ion exchange or biosorptive processes for metalremoval generally lack specificity in metal bindingand are sensitive to ambient conditions, e.g. pH,ionic strength and the presence of metal chelators. Inthis study, cells of a genetically engineered Escherichia coli strain, JM109, which expressesmetallothionein and a Hg2+ transport system afterinduction were evaluated for their selectivity forHg2+ accumulation in the presence of sodium,magnesium, or cadmium ions and their sensitivity to pHor the presence of metal chelators during Hg2+bioaccumulation. The genetically engineered E.coli cells in suspension accumulated Hg2+effectively at low concentrations (0-20 µM) overa broad range of pH (3 to 11). The presence of 400 mMsodium chloride, 200 mM magnesium chloride, or100 µM cadmium ions did not have a significanteffect on the bioaccumulation of 5 µm Hg2+,indicating that this process is not sensitive to highionic strength and is highly selective against sodium,magnesium, or cadmium ions. Metal chelators usuallyinterfere with ion exchange or biosorptive processes.However, two common metal chelators, EDTA and citrate,had no significant effect on Hg2+ bioaccumulationby the genetically engineered strain. These resultssuggest that this E. coli strain could be usedfor selective removal of Hg2+ from waste water orfrom contaminated solutions which are resistant tocommon treatments. A second potential applicationwould be to remove Hg2+ from Hg2+-contaminated soil, sediment, or particulates bywashing them with a Hg2+ chelator andregenerating the chelator by passing the solutionthrough a reactor containing the strain.

    Notes: Abstract The engineering of plants capable of fixing their own nitrogen is an extremely complex task, requiring the co-ordinated and regulated expression of 16 nif genes in an appropriate cellular location. We suggest that plastids may provide a favourable environment for nif gene expression provided that the nitrogenase enzyme can be protected from oxygen damage. Using the non-heterocystous cyanobacteria as a model, we argue that photosynthesis could be temporally separated from nitrogen fixation in chloroplasts by restricting nitrogenase synthesis to the dark period. We report preliminary data on the introduction and expression of one of nitrogenase components, the Fe protein, in transgenic tobacco and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Finally we discuss potential avenues for further research in this area and the prospects for achieving the ultimate goal of expressing active nitrogenase in cereal crops such as rice.

    Notes: Abstract This paper briefly presents the knowledge of plant nutrition in 1900 and its expansion since then in two areas - the discovery of the micronutrients and the absorption of nutrients from soils. Application of macro- and micronutrient fertilizers has contributed substantially to the huge increase in world food production experienced this century. In developed countries, excessive fertilizer use has led to serious problems of nutrient pollution; here, plant nutritionists will be concerned with monitoring nutrient status of crops and soils to maintain crop production with minimum loss of nutrients to the environment, and development of cultivars with high nutrient efficiency in soils with luxury supplies of nutrients. In many developing countries, soil infertility limits productivity; here, plant nutritional research can raise productivity by diagnosis of nutrient deficiencies and toxicities of crops on previously unfertilized soils, their correction with minimal fertilizer and treatment costs, and development of cultivars with high nutrient efficiency in deficient soils and high tolerance of natural toxicities. The pre-occupation of developed countries with pollution is blinding them to the urgent needs of developing countries for fertilizers and fertilizer research to increase crop production ha-1 as an alternative to clearing more land.

    Notes: Abstract A method for mitochondria isolation and interspecific transfer of mitochondria was developed in mice. Mitochondria were isolated from Mus spretus liver samples for microinjection into fertilized ova obtained from superovulated M. musculus domesticus females. Electron microscopic observations of mitochondria preparations used for microinjection demonstrated intact mitochondrial vesicles with little microsomal contamination. Species-specific nested PCR primers complementary to sequence differences in the mitochondrial DNA D-loop region revealed high rates of successful transfer of foreign mitochondria after isolation and injection into zygotes cultured through the blastocyst stage of embryonic development. Of 217 zygotes, 67 survived mitochondria injection and 23 out of 37 zygotes developed were at the blastocyst-stage of embryonic development after 4.5 days of in vitro culture. All 23 of these blastocysts contained detectable levels of foreign mitochondria. These results represent an initial step in developing a model system to study mitochondrial dynamics and development of therapeutic strategies for human metabolic diseases affected by aberrations in mitochondrial function or mutation

    Notes: Abstract Bombardment-based methodology is responsible for the effective genetic manipulation of major cereals including rice. Many groups reported significant advances on various aspects of rice molecular biology and genetic engineering using procedures based on bombardment technology. Molecular and genetic characterization of large numbers of these plants (more than 500 independent transgenic plants) provided information on structure, expression and stability of integrated DNA through multiple generations. Such evaluations were carried out in the greenhouse and in the field. Stability of expression was found to be dependent on the nature of the promoter and the transgene, and in specific cases on gene copy number. Direct DNA transfer utilizing particle bombardment for the delivery of foreign DNA into rice tissue results in the recovery of large numbers of independently derived transgenic plants in a variety-independent fashion. Gene copy number, level and stability of expression of transgenes can be compared to other DNA delivery methods, direct or indirect, including Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer. In this paper, the technology is summarized and discussed in terms of present and future applications, including field trials and potential commercialization of transgenic rice expressing a number of genes of agronomic interest such as pest and herbicide resistance.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bier, Sojaöl, verarbeitete Tomaten- (Ketchup, Mark, Pizzatomaten, Schältomaten, Suppe) und Kartoffelprodukte (Pommes frites, Chips, Püree, Mehl, Stärke, Bratkartoffeln) sowie ein Enzympräparat (Natuphos) wurden mittels PCR daraufhin untersucht, ob ein Nachweis des Einsatzes der Gentechnik bei ihrer Herstellung möglich ist. PCR-fähige DNA ließ sich aus Pizzatomaten, Schältomaten, Pommes frites, Bratkartoffeln, Kartoffelmehl und Kartoffelchips isolieren, so daß der Nachweis des Einsatzes der Gentechnik bei deren Herstellung möglich wird. Bestimmte Biere (Pils, Export, Nutfield lyte), Sojaöl, Tomatensuppe, Kartoffelstärke, Kartoffelpüree und Natuphos entziehen sich einem solchen Nachweis, da die PCR-Analyse keine Hinweise auf das Vorliegen von DNA in diesen Produkten ergab. Daß das durchgeführte Nachweisverfahren grundsätzlich in der Lage ist, geringe Mengen an DNA auch in diesen Produkten spezifisch nachzuweisen, wurde nach Zugabe vonEscherichia coli DNA bestätigt.
    Notes: Summary To elucidate if there is any possibility to identify highly processed foods as produced through genetic engineering, beer, soya bean oil, processed tomato (ketch-up, paste, pizza tomatoes, peeled tomatoes, soup) and potato (french fries, crisps, mashed potatoes, flour, starch, fried potatoes) products as well as an enzyme preparation (Natuphos) were investigated by PCR. In pizza tomatoes, peeled tomatoes, french fries, fried potatoes, potato flour and potato crisps DNA suitable for PCR was found. Therefore, it is possible to identify these products as produced through genetic engineering. Such an identification is impossible in certain beers (pilsener, export, Nutfield lyte), soya bean oil, tomato soup, potato starch, mashed potatoes and Natuphos since PCR-analysis gave no indication of the presence of DNA in these products. As it was shown by addingEscherichia coli DNA the used method is, in principle, capable of detecting specifically small amounts of DNA in such products.

    Notes: Numerical experiments with a nonlinear (λχ4) oscillator which has its harmonic frequency changing randomly with time reveal certain interesting features of its dynamics of quantum evolution. When λ = 0, the level populations are seen to oscillate. But, as the nonlinear coupling is switched on (λ 〉 0), a threshold is reached at λ = λc when the evolution is seen to be characterized by an abrupt transition dominantly to the highest available state of the unperturbed (initial) oscillator. It is shown that this transition probability is maximized at a particular value of λ. The time threshold for this transition decreases with increasing nonlinear coupling strength. The numerically obtained structures of the underlying quantum-phase spaces of the linear and nonlinear random oscillators are examined. Possible use of these results in a problem of chemical origin is explored. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Testosterone (17β-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one) was studied by the semiempirical AM1 and PM3 and ab initio STO-3G*, 3-21G*, and 6-31G* methods. The goals were to compare those methods and to know the electronic structure of the hormone. Full geometry optimization was performed, and two crystal conformers (T1 and T2), and experimental dipole moment in solution were used for comparison. One conformer with a dipole moment similar to the solvated conditions was generated. Total energy, entalphies, dipole moments, charges, electrostatic potentials, and highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) were calculated. Root-mean-square (RMS) index of the theoretical molecules against T1 and T2 showed best results with the 3-21G* and 6-31G* methods, while AM1 gave better energies than PM3. Dipole moments were directed toward the OH group and the botton face of the A ring. The frontier orbitals were located along the C4-C5 π bond, particularly the LUMO was split between C4 and C5, predicting the action of enzymes at C5 yielding to 5α and 5β-reduced androgens. Electrostatic potentials might be also of biological importance since they are coincidental with the dipole-moment orientation. Finally, it is interesting that the solvatedlike conformer, its properties, and the OH group laid between the same group of T1 and T2 and with a total energy between the crystals and the gas phase or in vacuo conditions. This results might also explain the biology of testosterone and use them to model the hormone-receptor interaction. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Simple molecular orbital calculations are employed in searching electronic parameters which may characterize the chemical carcinogens. Using frontier orbitals, the carcinogen-DNA bond formation is described as an electron transfer from the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of DNA to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the carcinogen. Analysis of the DNA bases units shows that the electron donation occurs preferentially at the guanine site. The calculated low LUMO energy of several carcinogens indicate correctly the electrophilic character of these compounds. The difference between the carcinogen and the ultimate carcinogen is analyzed. Epoxides, free radicals, alkylating agents, and other metabolite forms are studied. A reasonable correlation is found between the LUMO energy and the carcinogenic function. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Molecular dynamics simulations of liquid formamide(HCONH2) were carried out using the GROMOS software. The formamide molecule is represented by all of its atoms with all internal degrees of freedom. In contrast to other simulations dealing with bulk properties, this study focuses on the interface liquid-vacuum for the first time. We show that the molecular plane is tilted out of the surface, exposing the HCO group to the vacuum.   © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 63: 1123-1131, 1997

    Notes: An extension to the theory of Schrödinger equations has been made which enables the derivation of eigenvalues from a consideration of a very small part of geometric space. The concomitant unwanted continuum effects have been removed. The theory enables very convergent or “superconvergent” calculations. In the case of the helium ground state, E=-2.90372437703411987 Eh was obtained from 251 terms. The result is comparable to that from the largest variation calculations so far carried out reinforced by extrapolation techniques. The theory is extensible to atoms and molecules irrespectively of the number of electrons or nuclear centers. In these cases, the advantage of “superconvergent” calculations will be more pronounced than in the case of helium.   © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 63: 1065-1078, 1997

    Notes: Roothaan-Hartree-Fock (RHF) calculations are carried out for the ground states of the atoms from helium to xenon using a minimal basis set of Slater-type functions whose principal quantum numbers are allowed to take variationally optimal noninteger values. The resulting energies are substantially superior to those obtained previously under the usual restriction that principal quantum numbers be positive integers. The energy lowering relative to the single-zeta wave functions of Clementi and co-workers ranges from 0.0066 Eh in He to 11.2 Eh in Xe. Our results are superior to those obtained by Höjer using a minimal basis set of unconventional binomially screened basis functions. Noninteger principal quantum numbers benefit d-orbitals the most; physically realistic negative d-orbital energies are obtained in all cases including those transition-metal atoms for which a conventional single-zeta STF basis leads to positive d-orbital energies. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An ab initio study on the reaction of the ground state (3D) and the excited state (1D) of Sc+ with methane was performed. Reaction channels on the singlet and triplet potential surface (PES) and the reaction mechanism are examined and discussed. Three regions of the potential surface was studied: the molecular complex, the C(SINGLE BOND)H insertion products, and the transition states for the reaction. Comparisons between singlet and triplet PESs show that the excited state (1D) of Sc+ has more reactivity with methane than does the ground state (3D) due to the spin quantum number conservation with the more stable insertion intermediate. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The importance of the hybridization displacement charge (HDC) in describing molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps was demonstrated by studying six molecules; pyrazine N-oxide, para-nitropyridine, 5-nitropyrimidine, 3-nitropyridazine, N2, and N2O. It is shown that continuously distributed HDC-corrected Löwdin charges reproduce the MEP features of these molecules, most of which have competing electrophilic sites, in agreement with ab initio results. Further, it is found that for homonuclear diatomic molecules MEP minima can be located properly using HDC-corrected Löwdin (or HDC-corrected Mulliken) continuously distributed charges, but these features cannot be obtained using the conventional Löwdin (or Mulliken) charges. It was shown that the order of molecular electric field (MEF) values near the different electrophilic sites becomes changed when one moves away from the molecules. Thus, pyridine-type nitrogen atoms are the preferred binding sites close to the molecules, while at large distances, effects of oxygen atoms of the NO groups become dominant. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Some types of atomic vibrations in a chain of the DNA type constructed of G-C pairs were studied. These are the atomic vibrations of the lateral groups of guanine and N(3)H(1)H(2) of cytosine connected by the hydrogen bond h-b-1 and the vibrations of the centers of masses of bases in the direction parallel to bonds h-b-i, i = 1-3. The vibrations mix partially due to the dependence of the energy of the bond h-b-1 on its length and split into two bands because of the interaction between neighboring base pairs. It was shown that the excitation of the bond h-b-1 results in the splitting off of the two local vibrations and in a small deformation of the chain in the vicinity of the pair with the localized hydrogen bond. The law of the dispersion of band vibrations, values of the split-off frequencies, and degree of poly(dG)-poly(dC) chain deformation were determined. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We compare geometry configurations, vibrational properties, and electronic structures of (HF)2 in a free state and inside argon atom shells Arn. For the first stage, molecular dynamics calculations for the (HF)2 · Ar62 heterocluster are performed with the help of model potentials HF(SINGLE BOND)HF, Ar(SINGLE BOND)Ar, and Ar(SINGLE BOND)HF. Then, ab initio quantum chemistry analysis is carried out for the smaller systems (HF)2 · Ar15 and (HF)2 · Ar6 when keeping the argon atoms closest to the trapped dimer. We conclude that the hydrogen-bonded complex (HF)2 gains some extra stability inside the argon shells, originating primarily from a decrease of intermolecular distance RFF. Electronic structure calculations are in accord with the changes in dynamical properties, namely, a noticeable increase in the vibrational frequency assigned to the F(SINGLE BOND)F stretching mode (+25 cm-1) and decrease in rms deviations for the corresponding coordinate δFF. In addition to these changes, the argon atoms of the nearest solvent shell donate a small fraction of electron charge which is spent for an increase of population of the antibonding orbital σ*Hf(SINGLE BOND)Ff of the free monomer unit and shift orbital energies primarily of the lone-pair fluorine species. These shifts are greater than the changes due to geometry alterations and the possible inaccuracies of the calculation scheme. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An efficient expansion method for the evaluation of VB matrix elements is introduced. The overlaps of VB wave functions of N electrons can be treated as algebrants, i.e., generalized determinants, of N × N matrices. An algebrant can be expanded with subalgebrants of lower orders in a successive way. By choosing Rumer spin bases and appropriately arranging the expansion, it is found that the number of unique subalgebrants involved in the expansion increases in a quite moderate way with N. In contrast to the traditional symmetric group approach, which explicitly utilizes all N! representation matrices, the new strategy incorporates the group theoretical factors in a simple way in the successive expansion. As only the unique subalgebrants are further expanded, the computational effort required by the new strategy scales in a very acceptable manner with the increasing number of electrons. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

In all studies the 6-31 + G(d) basis set is used.

    Notes: The mechanism and kinetics for the decomposition of β-hydroxypropaldehyde, primary and secondary β-hydroxyketones, were studied by using ab initio RHF/6-31G and RHF/6-31G* methods. The activation barriers of these reactions were refined to be 39.57, 40.10, and 36.80 kcal mol-1 at the MP2/ /RHF/6-31G* level, respectively. The calculated results show that each decomposition is a concerted process with hydrogen transferring and bond breaking via a six-membered cyclic transition state. The thermal rate constants of the decomposition of primary and secondary β-hydroxyketones were obtained by calculating microcanonical probability fluxes through each transition state. It is theoretically confirmed that methyl substitution at the hydroxyl carbon of β-hydroxyketones causes a small enhancement in rates. The theoretical investigations of the mechanism and the rate constants are in agreement with the experimental results. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A brief introduction to the limit of the infinite chain is presented. The energy for a few special limiting cases of the anisotropy parameter in the Hamiltonian are worked out. Numerical results for finite cycles as well as for the infinite chain are given. Comparison can then be made with the case of finite increasing N. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The MELD program is employed to evaluate the Slater average potential v(r) felt by an electron at the point r within an atom. The characteristic radius R of the atom is then defined by the classical turning point equation v(R) = -I, where I denotes the first ionization potential of the atom. The atomic radii defined in this way have a close correlation with the van der Waals atomic radii. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Restricted geometry optimizations at the ab initio SCF level with the 3-21G basis set were employed to investigate the conformation space of flavone acetic acid (FAA) and its related compounds. All the conformations are produced from a conformation which is, according to our previous work, probably the active conformation in terms of antitumor activity shown by these compounds. Detailed studies on FAA were carried out while only brief discussions are made on the analogs. The main results obtained are that (1) FAA is a very flexible molecule, e.g., with the energy barrier up to about 3 kcal mol-1 from the reference conformation, the important torsional angle τ1 can change from 27.0° to 117.0°, τ2 from -168.0° to 2.0°, and τ3 from -50.0° to 30.0°; (2) the hydrogen-bonding effect plays an important role in determining lower-energy conformations; (3) among all the FAA conformations considered, some are active and some are inactive; (4) it seems that the analogs will have similar behavior to FAA when the torsional angle τ3 is restricted to the values which are around the equilibrium values; and (5) the hypothesis put forward previously has been further developed in this work. Now, we postulate that efficient charge transfers will lower the energy and that proper charge transfers will activate the molecule. There are mainly two different types of charge transfer corresponding to two different types of conformation, which are specified in this article. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The method of o(4, 2) operator replacements is generalized. As a result, the series whose limiting values when the variable goes to  +∞ should correspond to the two-electron atom energies now have rational coefficients. This generalization allows one also to compute the series for the case of singlet S symmetry, a case which could not be considered in the previous original formulation of the method. Series with rational coefficients for the helium singlet and triplet S ground-state energy are calculated up to order 41 and 45, respectively. Moreover, symbolic computations also allow one to give the first few coefficients of these series for arbitrary values of the nuclear charge Z. Finally, a new method for analytic continuation to the limit  +∞ is presented for the energies of the helium singlet and triplet ground states.   © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A few simple atom-transfer reactions (i.e., Ȧ+X-A→A-X+Ȧ) are studied by quantum mechanical ab initio methods. Emphasis is given to the detailed analysis of density matrices rather than to the energetics. Results reveal that during these reactions a small free valence always develops on the migrating atom at the transition state. The barriers in these reactions arise from the greater extent of bond cleavage in the reactant than that of bond formation in the transition state. Analysis of bond orders estimated from bond lengths using Pauling's relation also leads to the fact that the bond-cleavage process is more advanced than is the bond-formation process in these reactions.   © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The H2 interaction with the Pd dimer and trimer were studied using multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MC-SCF) calculations with the relativistic effective core potential (RECP); the correlation energy correction was included in the extended multireference configuration interaction (MRCI), variational and perturbative to second order. Here, we considered the Pd2 first six states: 3Σ+u, 1Σ+g, 3Πg, 3Δxy, 1Σ+u, and 3Σ+g. For them, the four geometrical approaches included were the side-on H2 toward Pd2, for the hydrogen molecule in and out the Pd dimer plane; the perpendicular end-on H2 toward Pd2; and the perpendicular end-on Pd2 to H2. The Pd2 ground state is 3Σ+u, which only captures H2 in the C2v end-on approach, softly relaxing the H(SINGLE BOND)H bond. The closed-shell 1Σ+g captures the H2 molecule in all the approaches considered: The side-on approach of this state presents deep wells and relaxes the H(SINGLE BOND)H bond, and the end-on approach captures H2 with a relatively longer H(SINGLE BOND)H distance and also a deep well. The 3Πg state was the only one which did not capture H2. For the triangular Pd3 clusters, H2 was approached in the C2v symmetry in and out of the Pd3 plane. In the triangular case, H2 was absorbed in both spin states, with deep wells and relaxing the H(SINGLE BOND)H distance. The linear Pd3 singlet and triplet states capture outside of the Pd3 and break the H(SINGLE BOND)H bond. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We presented a calculation of the total and partial decay widths of vibrational predissociation (VP) of the HeI2 molecule for low initial vibrational excitations from the lowest van der Waals (vdW) state with total angular momentum J = 0. A time-dependent golden rule wave-packet method was employed in our numerical calculations for the decay widths. The computed total decay widths, lifetimes, and rates of VP are in fairly good agreement with those extrapolated from the experimental data available. Predicted total decay widths as a function of initial vibrational levels exhibit a highly nonlinear behavior. These results demonstrate that a quantum mechanical decay mode for low vibrational excitation remains as well. The total propagation time needed in the time-dependent golden rule wave-packet calculations is much shorter than is the lifetime of the predissociation of HeI2. It is shown that the final-state interaction between the fragments is important for determining the final rotational-state distribution (partial decay width). We find that the major peak position in the final rotational-state distribution shifts to lower rotational energy levels with increase of the initial vibrational quantum number, which is evidently different from that for higher vibrational levels. This fact can be clearly explained by the dependence of the amount of kinetic energy released to the product degrees of freedom on the initial vibrational state. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We calculate the resonant and antibound state energies for a Morse potential with a centrifugal barrier using Siegert boundary conditions. Starting with a complex wave number k (purely imaginary for bound and antibound states), we integrate numerically from the origin up to a matching point using Numerov's method. The inward integration is performed using the corresponding (first-order) Riccati equation. The complex eigenvalues are found by matching the two logarithmic derivatives. We find narrow shape resonances within the well, above the dissociation limit, and broad resonances above the centrifugal barrier. Antibound states are found even with J = 0. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The Gaussian expansions of the generalized relativistic effective core potential (GRECP) components are reported for elements Hg through Rn. The accuracy of the analytical GRECPs is estimated by calculations of atomic transition energies with the numerical one-configurational wave functions in comparison with Dirac-Fock calculations. The results of the corresponding calculations with the RECPs of other groups are also given. An “averaged error” in the reproduction of the transition energies without the change of the occupation number of the 5d-shell is an order of magnitude smaller than that for the RECPs of other groups. As is demonstrated for the transitions with the change of the occupation number of the 5d-shell in mercury, the largest absolute error of the GRECP is only 1.5-2 times smaller than that of the energy-adjusted pseudopotential (PP) or the RECP of Ross et al. with the same space of explicitly treated electrons. However, the dispersion of these errors is 19⋅10-4 au for the energy-adjusted PP, 35⋅10-4 au for the RECP of Ross et al. and only 4⋅10-4 au for the GRECP. One-configurational spin-averaged calculations of the molecular properties for HgH and HgH+ are carried out and compared with the corresponding results of Häussermann et al.   © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: For the hydrogenation of the C=N bonds in the pyrazine ring of the vitamin folic acid (1) optically active rhodium(I)/diphosphane complexes immobilized on supports such as silica gel or Al2O3 were used. The reduction was carried out at 50 bar hydrogen pressure in an aqueous solution buffered to pH 7. Thus, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid (2) was obtained which contains a new asymmetric center at C-6 of the pterine system. Therefore, in combination with the (S) configuration of the natural L-glutamic acid part of the molecule two diastereomers with (6S,S) and (6R,S) configuration arise. The relatively unstable tetrahydrofolic acid (2) was converted into its 5-formyl derivative folinic acid (4) by treatment with methyl formate/formic acid in a 5:1 mixture of DMSO/pyridine. The Ca salt of folinic acid (4) is the widely used drug leucovorin. The diastereomers were separated by silica gel HPLC. To the column bovine serum albumine (BSA) is covalently bound. With optically active rhodium(I)/diphosphane catalysts, immobilized on silica gel supports, a diastereoselectivity of up to 90% could be achieved in the hydrogenation of folic acid (1).

    Notes: Alk-2-enylpotassium compounds having the endo conformation are synthetically very valuable precursors of (Z)-olefinic derivatives substituted at the outward allylic position. They may be generated by „stereoconservative‘ metalation of the readily available (Z)-alk-2-enes by using the superbasic mixture of butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide or by metalation under similar conditions of stereorandom mixtures of alk-2-enes or alk-1-enes followed by torsional isomerization of the concomitantly formed exo conformers to the thermodynamically more stable endo species. The principal factors that dictate the rate and the extent of the endo/exo equilibration are the substrate geometry, the solvent, the temperature, the reagent stoichiometry, and catalysis.

    Notes: When the trialkylaluminium reagents 5 are allowed to react with phosphaalkynes 4 in n-pentane, a highly selective phosphaalkyne cyclotrimerization with incorporation of two organometallic units occurs (→ 6).

Using tris(benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (BIMA) only the aqua complexes [ (BIMA)Zn-OH2](RSO3)(ClO4) and [(BIMA)Zn-OH2](RSO3)2(R=CH3, CF3, p-tolyl) were accessible. Using substituted pyrazolylborates (Tp*), the same three sulfonate anions were found to be ligands in the complexes Tp*Zn-OSO2R. Spectroscopic evidence for perchlorate coordination in Tp*ZnClO4 · 2 DMSO conflicts with crystallograpic evidence against it in Tp*ZnClO4 · pyridine. The crystal structures of [(BIMA)Zn-OH2](CH3SO3)2, TpCum,MeZn-OS02CH3, TPtBu,MeZn-OSO2C6H4-p-CH3, and [TpCum,MeZn · NC5H5]ClO4 were determined.

    Notes: Most alkylrhenium(VII) oxides, e.g. ((cyclo)-C3H5)Re03 (2) are rather sensitive to temperature and moisture with the prominent exception of methyltrioxorhenium (1). The corresponding alkylrhenium(VI) oxides of formula [RR′(O)- Re(μ-O)]2 [R=R′=(cyclo)-C3H5 (3), iPr (4); R=CH3, R′=C2H5 (5), R=CH3, R′=iPr (6)] are much more stable in this regard. They can be handled in air at room temperature. They were synthesized from Re207 and dialkylzinc precursors, fully characterized and are available in much higher yields than their ReVII congeners. Mixed tetraalkyltetraoxodirhenium(VI) complexes (R # R′) synthesized from 1 and dialkylzinc compounds form as a mixture of cis/trans isomers. They are oily liquids at room temperature. The Re=O and Re-Re stretching force constants as a measure of the bond strengths, were determined from IR and Raman data.

    Notes: Sequential reaction of the dimethylamino(trimethylsilylethylnyl)carbene complexes [(CO)5M'=C(NMe2)C≡CSiMe3] [M' = W (1a)] with KF/THFMeOH, nBuLi and transition metal halides, [XMLn], affords heterobimetallic propynyliden complexes of the type [(CO)5M'=C(N-Me2)C≡CMLn] [MLn = Ni(PPh3) Cp (4a, b). Ni(PMe2Ph)2- {Mes) (Mes=2,4,6-C6H2Me3) (5a), Rh(CO)(PPh3)2 (6a), Fe(CO)2Cp (7a,b)]. In contrast, reaction of 1a with MeLi · LiBr and [IFe(CO)2Cp] yields the novel N-metallated complex [(CO)5W=C{N(ME)Fe(CO)2Cp}C≡CSiMe3] (8a). The complexes [(CO)5M'=C(NMe2)C≡CMLn=Fe(CO)2Cp (7a, b), Ru(CO)2Cp (10a,b), Ru(CO)(PPh3)Cp (11a), Mn(CO)5 (12a), Re(CO)5 (13a)] are accessible by Pd-catalyzed coupling of the C-stannylated carbene complexes [(CO)5M'=C-(NMe2)C≡CSnBu3] (9a, b) with [XMLn]. The related monomethylaminocarbene complexes [(CO)5M'=C(NHMe)C≡ CSnBu3] (16a, b), obtained by stannylation of [(C))5M'=C(NHMe)C=CH] (15a, B) with Bu3SnNEt2, react with [IFe(CO)2Cp] to give the bimetallic complexes [(CO)5M'=C(NHMe)C≡CFe(CO)2Cp] (17a, b). The complexes 4a, 5a, 7a and 10a were characterized by X-ray structural analysis. The spectroscopic and structural data suggest that the two metal centers in 4-7, 10-13, and 17 interact only weakly.

    Notes: The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the diazosulfonate p-H2N-C6H4-N=N-SO3Na 3 features a Z configuration of the diazo moiety and a nitrogen-sulfur bond. Each sodium atom is coordinated by one diazosulfonate substitutent in a chelating manner. Upon reaction of 3 with excess salicylaldehyde, the highly water-soluble Schiff base ligand 6 is obtained in good yield. Treatment of ZnCl2 with 2 equiv. of 6 gives the zinc complex 7. In all cases, the solubilizing diazosulfonate groups can be cleaved off photolytically, which offers an opportunity to precipitate the molecules from their aqueous solutions.

    Notes: The Mercury(II) amide complex Hg[N(SiMe3)(2,6-iPr2C6H3)]2 (1) was prepared by reaction of HgBr2 with Li[N(SiMe3) 2,6-iPr2C6H3)] in diethyl ether solvent. Redox transmetallation reactions of 1 with elemental samarium, europium or ytterbium in THF solvent (THF = tetrahydrofuran), generated the novel divalent complexes Ln[N(SiMe3)(2,6-iPr2C6H3]2(THF)2 with Ln = Sm (2), Eu (3) and Yb (4). 4 was also synthesized by reaction of elemental ytterbium, HgPh2 and HN(SiMe3)(2,6-Me3)2]2(THF)2 [Ln = Sm (5), Yb (6)] by reaction of the metals with HgPh2 and HN(SiMe3)2. Thermal desolvation of 4 under high vacuum gave Yb(N)(SiMe3)2,6-iPr2C6H3)]2 (THF) (7), whereas under identical conditions 6 yielded the solvent-free complex [Yb[N{SiMe3)2]2]2. (8). The new compounds 1-4 and 7 are hydrocarbon soluble and 171Yb-NMR spectra were recorded for 4, 6, 7 and 8. X-ray crystal structure determinations of 2 and 4 revealed four-coordinate, distorted tetrahedral metal environments augmented by weak Ln…ipso-C(aryl) interactions.

In particular, the stability and dissociation of HN3 is discussed at a very high level of theory (CASSCF and MCSCF-CI) and compared and contrasted with experimental data and results from „medium“-level ab initio computations (MP2, B-LYP). From these results credence is given to those values calculated for larger systems and heavy elements for which very high level computations are not possible. The experimentally well-characterized covalent halogen azides (XN3, where X = F, Cl, Br, I) as well as the heavy-element group-15 compound Sb(N3)3 are discussed. The review also includes discussion of the bond properties of the highly unstable N-bound azides ON-N3 and (FSO2)2N-N3. In the final chapter attention is drawn to the recently predicted and eventually experimentally verified elusive species OCN-NCO, which is isoelectronic to the hitherto unknown diazide N6.

    Notes: The reaction of Na2[M2(CO) 10] (M = Cr, Mo, W) with SnHal2 (Hal = Cl, Br) is a well established procedure for the synthesis of anions of type A, [{(CO)5M)SnHal3]-. Conditions are described which, for the same type of procedure, result in the additional formation of dianions of type B, [{(CO)5M}2SnHal2]2-. Procedures for separating these two types of anions in the form of their stable [Ph4P]+ or [nBu4N]+ salts by appropriate salt metathesis are presented. The structures of theses species have been characterized by X-ray analysis of three salts containing type A anions and two salts containing type B anions. The reactivity of the type B salts containing the bulky cations [Ph4P]+ or [nBu4N]+, respectively, is remarkably low; the salts are, however, transformed into highly reactive sodium salts by further metathesis with Na[BPh4]. In such salts the halide substitutents are easily exchanged as shown by the synthesis of ]})CO(5Cr}2oxinato]- (4)- from [Na-(THF)x]2[{(CO)5Cr}2SnCl2] and sodium 8-oxoquinolate, Na[C9H6NO]. The structure of the anion, 4 is compared to the structure of [[(CO)5Cr)SnCl2· THF] and sodium 8-oxochinolate. The preparation of the dinuclear anions [{(CO)5Cr}2E(OOCCH3)2]2- (E = Sn, 2g; E = Pb, 3) is accomplished by the reaction of [Ph4P]2[Cr2(CO)10] with the corresponding acetates E(OOCCH3)2. While 2g and 3 are formal analogues of the type-B anions, their structures reveal an asymmetrical η2-coordination of the two acetato ligands, in each case ending up in a 4+2 coordination for the main group centres, instead of the four-coordination observed for [{(CO)5M}2SnHal2]2-, All compounds have been characterized by usual spetroscopic and analytical techniques. X-ray analyses have been performed for selected examples. 119Sn-NMR data are presented for all of the compounds which contain tin-centred ligands.

    Notes: The halogen atoms in the 1-chloro-1H-phosphirenes, 5a-c, are easily substituted on reaction with organolithium and Grignard reagents, 14a-p, with formation of the corresponding O-, N-, C-, Si-, and Ge-substituted 1H-phosphirenes, 15a-t. C1/H exchange reactions also occur on reaction with lithium metal hydrides (5a → 17). Furthermore, substitution reactions are also realized with the alkali metal borates, 18a-g (→19a-g); the same is true for reactions with trimethylsilyl cyanide and azide (→22a-d). Some of the substitution products have been characterized in the form of their metal complexes, 16, 23, 24, and 25.

    Notes: Trialkylstannyl esters of tris(2-hydroxyalkyl)amines, N(CH2CHROSnAlk3)3 (9-11 (R = H, Me; Alk = Et, Bu), react with X3GeC(R1)(R2)COOR3 (12-17) (X = Cl or Br; R1, R2=H, Me, Ph, SiMe3, COOEt; R3=Me, Et) to give esters of α-germatranylcarboxylic acids, N(CH2CHRO)3GeC(R1)(R2)-COOR3 (1-8), in high yields. The synthesis of esters 12-17 is reported. Esters of α-germatranyldiphenylacetic acid 24 and 25 can be obtained by treatment of diphenylketene with Et3SnOMe to give in situ Et3SnC(Ph2)COOMe (23), followed by reaction with GeCl4 to give in situ Cl3GeC(Ph2)COOMe (22 and further reactions with 9 or 11, respectively. Reduction of germatrane 6 with LiAlH4 in diethyl ether leads to cleavage of the germanium-carbon bond with subsequent formation of (2-hydroxyethyl)trimethylsilane. The crystal structures of 3, 6 and 7 are reported. 1-Acyloxygermatranes 26 and 27 are obtained by treatment of 1-methoxygermatrane (28) with diphenyl- and dichloroacetic acid, respectively.

    Notes: Tris(dimethylchlorostannyl)amine (2a) reacts with pyridine in a 3:4 molar ratio to produce the tin-nitrogen containing bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane (3) with elimination of the adduct Me2SnCl2·2 py. Treatment of the distannylamine 2,6-[Pr2H3N(SnMe2Cl)2 (4) with pyridine, however, leads to the formation of the 1:1 pyridine adduct 4 and this can be regarded as a model to explain the route to 3. The molecular structures of 3 and 5 were determined by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in solution, as well as by X-ray structure analysis of their crystals. Typical structural features for both compounds are intramolecular Sn—X—Sn bridges. Support for the structures comes from MS fragmentation patterns, IR spectra, and the Mössbauer spectra.

    Notes: The 5-alkylidene-4,5-dihydro-3H-1,2,4(λ3)-diazaphospholes (4-phosphapyrazolines) are thermally much more stable than related compounds without the exocyclic double bond. Thermolysis reactions typically occur in the range 110-150°C in toluene solution, and different, mostly competing, reaction pathways are observed. Thermal extrusion of nitrogen from 8a-g gives rise to β-phosphanaylsiloxyalkenes 10, benzo[c]-phosphole derivatives 11, 14 and 115, (β-siloxyalkylidene)-Phosphiranes 12, and dihydro-1,3-oxaphospholes 13. The thermolysis of 5-alkylidene-4,5-dihydro-4-trimethylsilyl-3-trimethylsilyloxy-3H-1,2,4-dizaphospholes 17 afforded three products, including the highly substituted and stable 2-phosphabutadienes 18 formed by nitrogen extrusion and rearrangement. Finally, the 4-chloro-3-trimethylsilyloxy-substituted heterocycle 21 was transformed at 170°C into 4H-1,2,4-diazaphosphole 23. The structures of 13c and 18a were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

    Notes: The reactions of the ammine-undecahydro-closo-dodecaborate(1-) anion with alkyl halides have been studied in detail. The degree of alkylation of the nitrogen was found to be dependent upon the steric demands of the alkyl groups. The derivatives were characterized by NMR and infrared spectroscopy. Four compounds were crystallized for single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The tetrahedral coordination of the nitrogen atom of the bis-alkylated derivatives was found to deviate towards planarity with increasing steric hindrance of the substitutents. - The syntheses, crystal structures, and spectral properties of four N-alkyl derivatives of [H3N—B12H11]-, ammine - undecahydro-closo-dodecaborate(1-) (3), are reported. Alkylation of 3 with ethyl iodide was achieved in dimethyl sulfoxide using potassium hydroxide as base. This led to orthorhombic crystals of [N(nC4H94][(CH3CH2)3N—B12H11] (4). The reaction of 3 with benzyl chloride resulted in the bisbenzylated product, isolated as triclinic crystals of [PPN][(C6H5CH2)2 NH—B12H11] (5). The alkylation of 3 with 2-bromopropane gave a mixture of the mono- and bisalkylated products. The monoalkylated derivative [PPN][(CH3)2CH)NH2-12H11] (6, crystallized in the triclinic space group p1) and the bisalkylated product [PPN]{[(CH3)2NH—B12H11) (7, monoclinic, P21./c) were separated on the basis of their different water solubilities. The solid-state structures of the compounds 4-7 revealed a slight distortion of the B12 icosahedron. The length of the B(1)-N(1) bond was found to be dependent on the steric requirements of the attached amine, e.g. primary amine 〈 secondary amine 〈 tertiary amine. This is demonstrated by the variation in the B—N bond length; from 157.8(2) pm for 6, 158.5(5) pjm for 5, 160.0(3) pm for 7, to 163.7(6) pm for 4.

    Notes: Reduction of the isoprene - PCl3 adduct 1 with magnesium powder, or with Si2Cl6, furnished P-chloro-3-methyl-phosphol-2-ene, 2, in satisfactory yield. Further reduction of 2 with Si2Cl6 gave the new trichlorosilyl-3-methylphosphol-2-ene, 3. The reaction of 2 with magnesium powder, with 3, or with 1/2 equivalent of Si2Cl6 provided the new γ3P-γP-diphosphane 1,1′-bi(3-methylphosphol-2-ene) 4. Reduction of 4 with Si2Cl6 led to 3. Oxidation of 4 with selenium gave the 1,2-diphosphane diselenide, 5. The oxidation of 4 with hexafluoroacetone led to a mixture of products, from which a novel tricyclic phosphorane 6 was separated. the structure of 196 was determined by X-ray diffraction; the coordination geometry at phosphorus in distorted trigonal bipyramidal, with a very long equatorial P - C(CF3)2 bond of 193.2(2) pm.

    Notes: In contrast to their all-carbon analogues, phosphaalkyne cyclooligomers only became accessible a few years ago. A milestone in the chemistry of cyclotetramers was the synthesis and structural characterization of the tetraphosphacubane 5, obtained as a thermolysis product of tert-butylphosphaacetylene (1). Since then, the construction of eleven cyclotetramers has been achieved, covering seven different frameworks (A-G). As a consequence of the use of kinetically stabilized phosphaalkynes as starting materials, all known cyclotetramers bear sterically demanding substituents (tert-butyl, tert-pentyl, 1-adamantyl). Cyclotetramerizations are not only achieved by thermolysis of 1, but also by alternative and selective routes such as transition-metal-mediated, Lewis acid- and base-induced processes, as well as by cycloadditions to phosphaalkyne cyclotrimers. Interestingly, these tetramers can be interconverted by various valence isomerizations. The results of thermal and photochemically-induced rearrangements are in good agreement with MO calculations carried out for the parent compounds. Phosphaalkyne cyclotetramers exhibit a highly interesting reactivity and other peculiar features. One outstanding example is the tetraphosphacubane 5, which shows unusual structural and spectroscopic properties as a result of its unique bonding arrangement.

    Notes: The 2-phosphanyl-4,5-dimethylphosphinines 1-5 are powerful bridging ligands able to stabilize metal-metal single and triple bonds between low-valent transition metal centres. Their reaction with Mn2(CO)10 in refluxing xylene yields the corresponding Mn2(CO)8 complexes 6 and 7. Reaction with [Fe2Cp2(CO)4] under UV irradiation similarly yields the Fe-Fe-bridged Fe2Cp2(CO)2 complexes 8 and 9. An additional observation is that the 2-phosphininyl-3,4-dimethylphosphaferrocene 10 is formed upon reaction of the 2-phospholylphosphinine 5 with [Fe2Cp2(CO)4] at high temperature under CO pressure. A clean addition occurs at the Mo≡Mo triple bond of [Mo2Cp2(CO)4] to give the Mo-Mo single-bonded complexes 11-15. The thermolysis of these complexes succeeds when the phosphanyl group is a phosphonite P(OEt)2 (13) or P(OAr)2 (14), affording cleanly the Mo2Cp2(CO)4 triple-bonded complexes 16 and 17, respectively. The metal-metal triple bonds of these complexes readily add two molecules of CO to reform 13 and 14, or one molecule of tBu-N≡C to give 18 and 19. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of the MO2C2(CO)4 complex 13a, with the 2-P(OEt)2- phosphinine, shows a gauche orientation of the two Cp rings and very short P-Mo bonds of 2.3565(4) and 2.406(2) Å to the phosphinine and P(OEt)2 groups, respectively.

    Notes: White phosphorus occurs in three modifications. The α form, which exists at roomtemperature, transforms reversibly to the β form at -77°C. The α · β transformation may be strongly delayed. Quenching the α form to -185°C followed by slow warming results in an exothermic reactions with formation of the γ form which transforms into the β form at -120°C in an endothermic reaction. A transition β · γ is not observed. The γ form is characterized by its powder diagram. The structure of the β form is redetermined from a single crystal at -185°C (P., α = 547.88(5), b = 1078.62(11), c = 1096.16(11)pm, α= 94.285(8), β = 99.695(7), γ = 100.680(7)., V = 623.79(10) · 106 pm3, Z = 6 formula units per cell). The P4 molecules exhibit pronounced librational motion in spite of the low temperature of investigation. The arrangement of the centers of the tetrahedra corresponds to the atom positions in the γ-plutonium structure, which is discussed in relation to the bcc structure.

    Notes: A dimethylpolysiloxane chain is covalently bound to the monomeric Lewis acid catalyst (1R)-(+)-oxovanadium(1V) bis[3- heptafluorobutanoylcamphorate] [(+)-5a] at the C-10 position of the camphor moiety yielding the novel chiral polymeric (1S)-( +)-oxovanadium(1V) bis[3-heptafluorobutanoylcamphorate] -dimethylpolysiloxane [( +)-6a][1]. The Lewis acid promoted hetero Diels-Alder reaction of trans-l-methoxy-3-(trimethylsilyloxy)- 1,3-butadiene (1) and benzaldehyde (2) is studied in the presence of the enantiomerically pure monomeric (5a, 5b) and polymeric (6a, 6b) catalysts. The monomeric and polymeric catalysts of identical chirality[1] invoke opposite enantioselectivities toward the formation of 2-phenyl- 2,3-dihydro-4H-pyrone (4). This remarkable result is corroborated by numerous control experiments. Thus, it is demonstrated that the environment of the active site of the catalyst is changed when the complex is fixed to a polymeric chain. In contrast to 5 and 6, the monomeric 12 and polymeric 13 europium(III) tris[3-heptafluorobutanoylcamphorates] of identical chirality invoke the same enantioselectivity toward the formation of 4. The concept of polymer attachment is utilized to recover the catalyst from the reaction mixture by precipitation and to recycle it for subsequent catalytic runs.

    Notes: The organometallic salt [Cp3Zr(N≡C-CH3)]+ [CH3B-(C6F5)3]- (3a) has been prepared by treatment of Cp3ZrCH3 with B(C6F5)3 followed by the addition of acetonitrile. X-ray crystal structure analysis of 3a shows that its cation consists of three uniformly coordinated η5-cyclopentadienyl ligands about the zirconium atom. The acetonitrile ligand is end-on coordinated. In the linear [Zr] -N≡C-CH3 unit the C≡N triple bond [N-C2 1.126(5) Å] is slightly shorter than in the free acetonitrile molecule [dC≡N = 1.141(2) Å], the structure of which was determined as a reference by X-ray diffraction of a crystal obtained by IR-laser-induced zone melting on the diffractometer.

    Notes: The reactions of [(MeCN)4Cu]BF4 with two or three equivalents of benzophenoneimine lead to the formation of [(Ph2C=NH)2]BF4 (1) and [ (Ph2C=NH)3Cu]BF4 (2), respectively. A further equivalent of the ligand does not coordinate to the cation of complex 2. The crystal structures of both compounds were determined. 1 shows a linearly two-coordinated copper(I) center with a Cu-N distance of 1.877(2) Å. In compound 2 a distorted trigonal planar coordination of copper is observed with N-Cu-N angles of 114.5(2), 112.9(2) and 132.4(2)°, corresponding to two nearly equal Cu-N distances [Cu-N2 1.947(5) and Cu-N3 1.934(5) Å] dnd a significantly longer third one (Cu-N1 2.011(5) Å]. A comparison of these data with recently determined structures of bis(benzophenoneimine)silver(I) and -gold(I) complexes shows that the covalent radii of the monovalent coinage metals decrease in the order Ag(I) 〉 Au(I) 〉 Cu(I).

    Notes: The zinc hydroxide complexes Tp*Zn-OH of highly substituted pyrazolylborate ligands react with phenols, and alcohols, of sufficient acidity, in a condensation reaction with release of H2O. Starting with phenols the following were attached:phenolate, p-nitropehnolate, o-vanillinate, o-hydroxymethylphenolate, o,o-bis(hydroxymethyl) -p-methylphenolate. Whilst aliphatic alcohols and benzyl alcohol did not react, their derivatives, with highly electronegative substituents could be incorporated. Thus, the arylmethoxides OCH2C6F5 and OCH2C6H4NO2-p, as well as the alkoxides OCH2CF3 and OCH2CCl3, were attached. 2-Mercaptoethanol was bound via its thiolate function. The crystal structures of TpCum,Me ZN-OC6H4NO2-p,TpCum,Me ZN-OCH2-C6F5, TpCum,Me ZN-OCH2CF3, TpCum,Me ZN-OCH2CCl3 and TpCum,MeZn-SCH2CH2OH were determined.

    Notes: N-Lithio-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine [Li(tmp)] reacts with AlX3 (X = Cl, Br) in diethyl ether/ n-hexane solution to generate the products of substitution and ether cleavage, [tmpAl(X)(μ-OEt)], (la, X = Cl; 1b, X = Br). However, when the reaction is allowed to proceed in n-hexane alone, an almost quantitative yield of compounds tmp2AlX (2a, X = Cl; 2b, X = Br; 2c, X = I) is obtained. According to 27AI-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, cryoscopy, and X-ray crystal structure determinations, these compounds are monomeric in the solid state, in solution, and in the gas phase. 2b reacts with AgBF4 yielding the fluoride-bridged dimer (tmp2AlF), 2d, as shown by X-ray crystal structure determination.

    Notes: Solvent-free sodium phenoxide (NaOPh) crystallises as a polymer and forms a polymeric chain in the [0 0 1] direction. The low coordination of the sodium atoms, as evident in the crystal structure, is confirmed by the easy coordination of oxoligands (α-donors). Hence, the four-membered ring chain of the solvent-free sodium phenoxide is separated by oxoligands, and forms partial structures as the polymer fragments. Thus, NaOPh crystallises in THF with the formation of an Na6O6 core, consisting of two face-fused heterocubes, and in N, N, N′, N′-tetramethyl urea (TMU) with the formation of a Na4O4 heterocubane. The solvent-free NaOPh-CO2 complex obtained from the addition of CO2 to a solution of sodium phenoxide is, when exposed to a temperature of 80°C, subject to an irreversible phase transition, as demonstrated by FT-IR and DTA studies. The complex formed at 80°C is, apparently, another intermediate of the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction.

    Notes: 1.8-dilithionaphthalene 1 reacted with bis(dimethylamino)-chlorophosphane to form 1,8-bis[(diethylamino)phosphanyl]-naphthalene 2, whose structure was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis; there are two independent molecules, in which the P(NEt2)2 groups adopt an eclipsed conformation. Reaction of 2 with gaseous HCl gave in low yield 1,8-bis-(dichlorophosphanyl)naphthalene 3, which was characterized by 1H- and 31P-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Attempted recrystallization of 3 led to oxidative hydrolysis which furnished 4, an anhydride of a bis(chlorophosphonic acid), whose structure was elucidated by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The geometry of 4 reveals a relief of strain from the bis (aminophosphane) 2; the naphthalene groups are less distorted and the P atoms are displaced less far from the naphthalene best plane.

The latter reacts with gold(I) or silver(I) compounds to afford dinuclear [[Au(C6F5)3[PPh2C(=CH2)Ph2P}AuX], X=Cl or C6F5) or trinuclear species {[{Au(C6F5)3{PPh2C(=CH2)Ph2P{]2M]ClO4, M=Au or Ag}. No addition of nucleophiles to the C=C double bond is observed in these complexes, which contain the diphosphane acting as bridging or monodentate ligand. (SPPh2)2C=CH2 reacts with AgClO4 to give [Ag{SPPh2C(=CH2)Ph2PS}]2-(ClO4)2or[Ag[PPh2C(=CH2)Ph2P]2]ClO4. The crystal structure of [Au(C6F5)3{PPh2C(=CH2)Ph2P}Au(C6F5)] has been established by X-ray crystallography, and confirms the expected square planar and linear geometry for the Au111 and Au1 centres, respectively.

    Notes: A two-step formal insertion of 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro- (2a) and 1,111-trifluoropentane-2,4-dione (2b) into the P-H bonds of phosphane gave the primary a-hydroxyphosphanes 3 and 4, precursors for the resulting secondary phosphanes, 6,9-dioxa-2-phosphabicyclo[3.3.l]nonane (6a) and 2,4,8-trioxa-6-phosphaadamantane (7), both formed diastereospecifically. The molecular structures of 6a and 7 were established by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis which revealed two independent molecules for 6a in the unit cell possessing a chair-boat conformation with a C-P-C angle of 95.4(2)°, and a characteristic heteroadamantane geometry for 7, with the corresponding angle being smaller by 4.9°.

    Notes: Axial-chiral mono- and biscarbene complexes of chromium containing the 1,1-binaphthyl skeleton have been obtained in both racemic and enantiopure forms in a one-pot reaction starting from lithiated 2,2-dimethoxy-1,1-binaphthyl (1) and hexacarbonyl chromium via the Fischer route. An X-ray structure analysis of the biscarbene complex 2 reveals that the biscarbene functionalization significantly increases the dihedral angle defined by the biaryl planes. The enantiopure complexes have been characterized by CD spectroscopy.

    Notes: Treatment of the (butadiene)ML2 complexes 1 [ML2 = Cp2Zr (a), Cp2Hf (b), and (.-C5H4CH3)2Zr (c)] with B(C6F5)3 gives the 1:1 addition products (CH2CHCHCH2-B(C6F5_3)ML2 (3a-c). At -40°C the betaine complex 3a inserts one equivalent of methylenecyclopropane to give the regioisomeric insertion products 5a and 6a in a 60:40 ratio. These products exhibit the cyclopropylidene moiety in the α- and β-positions, respectively, relative to zirconium. The corresponding hafnocene complexes 5b and 6b are obtained in a 70:30 ratio starting from 3b. The reaction of 3(a-c) with allene gives a single insertion product (7a-c) in each case where the exo-methylene group is in the α-position to the metal center ([2,1]-insertion). The complexes 5-7 are chiral. They all exhibit a pronounced ·-interaction of the internal -C4H=C5H- double bond of the s̰-ligand chain with the metal center in addition to a metallocene/-C6H2-[B] ion pair interaction. The relative contributions of the cationic metallocene end of the dipolar complexes 5-7 are quite dependent on the steric and electronic properties of the respective metallocene units involved. This is revealed by a comparison to typical 13C-NMR parameters of the complexes 5-7 with a pair of suitable model complexes, namely the ethylene insertion product 4 into the betaine system 3a and its THF adduct 4.THF.

    Notes: The preparation of neopentane-based tripod ligands CH3C(CH2X)(CH2Y)(CH2Z( 3 (X = NR2, NHR; Y = PR2; Z = PR2, SR, S-) in a convergent manner is described. The procedure is based on the aminolytic cleavage of functionalized oxetanes CH3C(CH2OCH2)CH2R 1 by primary or secondary amines, leading to functionalized amino alcohols CH3C(CH2NHR)(CH2OH)(CH2R) or CH3C(CH2NR2)-(CH2OH)(CH2R) 2. The appropriate activation of the R (e.g. OR) and OH groups present in 2 allows for substitution vs. SR or PR2 donor functions. Depending on the nature of the groups present in each reaction step, various protection and groups present in each reaction step, various protection and deprotection steps have to be taken in the course of this type of preparation of the tripod ligands 3. By reaction with (CH3CN)3Mo(CO)3, ligands 3 form Mo(CO)4 derivatives 4 or Mo(CO)3 derivatives 5, depending on the reaction conditions. In compounds 4, the ligands are coordinated in a bidentate mode with the soft donor atoms (P, S) coordinated and the hard donor function playing the role of the dangling arm. In the trihapto bonding mode present in 5, all three donor functions, two soft (P, S) and one hard (NHR′, NR′2), are coordinated. The two types of coordination compounds may be interconverted: 4e (X = NMe2′ Y = PPh2, Z = SiPr) with a non-coordinating CH2NMe2 group is transformed into 5c upon photolytic decarbonylation. Under 1 bar CO at 20°C, 5c reverts to 4e. X-ray structure analysis of a series of compounds of types 4 and 5 reveals characteristics of the relevant conformational patterns. All compounds have been fully characterized by the standard analytical techniques (NMR, MS), as well as elemental analysis.

    Notes: The reaction of compounds (R3P) AuMe with diphenylphosphinous acid Ph2P(O)H affords methane and neutral complexes of the type (R3P(O)Ph2 (1a: R = Me; 1b: R = Ph, lc: R = o-Tol). 1a, b are obtained in high yield, but the yield of lc is lower owing to a side-reaction which leads to a different product: Ph2P(OH)-Au-P(O)Ph2 (2). The crystal structure of 1a was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The compounds is a monomer with a linear P-Au-P′ axis and the phosphane and phosphinite ligands in a staggered conformation. In solution (CHCl3, CH2Cl 2/) compounds 1a-c undergo a ligand redistribution, establishing equilibria that involve ionic isomers of the type [R3P)2Au]+ [Au-(P(O)Ph2)2]-, which are readily identified through their NMR data. The analogous reaction of (R3P)b AuMe with dimethylphosphite (MeO)2P(O)H gives methane and the corresponding dimethylphosphites of the type (R3P)AuP(O)(OMe)2 (3a: R = Me; 3b: R = Ph; 3c: R= o-Tol). The crystal structure of 3b has also been determined. It features a linear structure with an eclipsed conformation of the ligands. In polar solvents (CHCl3, methanol) there is again an eqilibrium between neutral and ionic isomers, the latter comprising bis(phosphane)gold cations [(R3P)2Au]+ and {Au[P(O)-(OMe)2]2)- anions, as confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

    Notes: Eleven novel piperazine containing open-chain ligands L1-L11 were designed to offer symmetrical and asymmetrical complexation sites for metal ions and were synthesized by repetitive synthetic method. The divergent use of aromatic bishalomethyl and mono-N-alkylated piperazine compounds as spaces led toa series of long (up to M. W. = 836) oligomeric multidentate N-ligands. Due to the lack of solid state methods for structure analysis, an NMR technique using 113 Cd nucleus as a probe in solution state was utilised. 113 Cd chemical shifts were observed to be dependend on the coordination site and similar coordination sites in different ligands gave characteristically similar 113 Cd chemical shifts. As a result 113 Cd-NMR spectroscopy proved to be an excellent tool to distinguish between the structures of the different complexation sites on a nearly quantitative level.

    Notes: Monoanionic bi- and tridentate ligand systems emulating the structural features of the well-known poly(pyrazolyl)borates are created by bridging heteroaromatic rings with formally negatively charged p-block elements. Their properties and versatility are exemplified by their complexes with main group metals. Due to their N(σ)-donating and π-interacting ability, as well as the flexibility of the substituent bonding, these ligand systems have the potential to adapt both geometrically and electronically to the coordination requirements of the complexed metal. Within these complexes, the heteroaromatic substituents operate as charge spacers between the formally anionic center and the metal cation without encapsulating either site. This provides possible applications in the creation of reactive soft/hard bimetallic reagents, the realization of multinuclear arrays, and the design of preorganized CVD precursors, particularly en route to III/V-semiconducting thin films.

    Notes: The reactions of (Me2S)BH2Br and (Me2S)BHBr2 with equimolar quantities of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethene (1) or -benzene (2) lead to cyclic, cationic bis(phosphane)boranes [4[(1)BH2]+ Br-; 6: [(2)BH2]+ Br; 7: [(2)BHBr]+ Br-]. The Br counterions can be exchanged in metathesis reactions (e.g. with AgBF4 to afford 4a). The tritertiary phosphane bis[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl]phenyl-phosphane (3), reacts with (Me2S)BHBr2 to give bicyclic dicationic tris(phosphane)borane 8, [(3)BH]2+ Br-, which can be converted into the bis(hexafluorophosphate) 8a using NH4PF6. All compounds have been characterized by analytical and NMR-spectroscopic data. The crystal and molecular structures of 5 - 7 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The five-membered rings C2P2B have an envelope conformation and show no sign of electron delocalization. Attempts to deprotonate the B—H functions in 5 - 8 have not been successful. Clearly, the two (5 - 7) or three phosphonium centers (8) adjacent to the boron atom are not sufficient to induce an “umpolung” of the B—H group

    Notes: The dinuclear compound [{(η5 - Cp)Ni(PEt3)}2] (1) containing an unbridged Ni-Ni bond reacts with the heavier group 13 monochlorides [{CH(SiMe3)2)2}AlIIICl], InCl, and TlCl by scission of the metal-metal bond. In the case of InCl and TlCl the chloro-bridged dimmers [{(η5-Cp)Ni(PEt3)2ECl2Ecl}2] (E = In 2, Tl 5) were formed. The Tl compound 5 is unstable and decomposes via disproportionation a and formation of the halogen-free Tl [III] compound [{(η5-Cp)Ni(PEt3)}3Tl] (6). 2 can be dehalogenated with activated magnesium to yield the halogen-free In [III] compund [{(η5-Cp}Ni(PEt3)}3In] (4). The Ga analogue of 4 and 6 [{(η5-Cp)Ni(PEt3)}3Ga] (7) is accessible by a conproportionation of 1 with Ga metal in refluxing THF. In contrast to InCl and TlCl the aluminium (III) monochloride [{CH(SiMe3)2}2AlCl] reacts with 1 by a ligand redistribution reaction and formation of the salt [{(η5-Cp)Ni(PEt3)2]+-[{CH(SiMe3)2]2AlCl]2-. (8). Elemental Hg or Mg amalgam show the same activity as elemental Ga towards 1 and insert into the Ni—Ni bond by forming the linear Hg-bridged complex [(n3-Cp)Ni(PEt3)]2Hg] (9). The molecular structures of 2, 4, 8, and 9 were determined by X-ray crystallography. The In atom in 4 has a distorted trigonal-planar configuration with the central In atom being surrounded by three [(n5-Cp)Ni(PEt3)] fragments. 4 represents the first Ni-In cluster containing exclusively unsupported In - Ni bonds, as well as the first carbonyl-free Ni - In cluster. On the basis of spectroscopic data the same structure is assigned to the Ga and Tl analogues of 4. The Ni—Hg—Ni arrangement in 9 is exactly linear, as determined by X-ray crystallography.

The larger contribution of resonance stabilization by the aromatic ring carrying the p-dimethylamino substituent is reflected by the smaller interplanar angle Θ between the aromatic ring and the selenoamide group [53.3(1)° vs. 81.1(1)°] and by the shorter length of the C=Se bond [1.824(5) Å vs. 1.840(3) Å]. The Gibbs free energy of activation of C-N bond rotation (ΔG≠rot) of five p-substituted (selenobenzoyl)morpholines was determined by dynamic 13C NMR. The activation barriers were found to range from 61.6 kJ/mol (X = NNMe2) to 75.1 kJ/mol (X = H). The ΔG≠rot values of the corresponding (thiobenzoyl)morpholines were found to be from 3.2 kJ/mol (X = NMe2) to 5.0 kJ/mol (X = H) lower. In both cases, ΔG≠rot showed an excellent linear Hammett correlation with s̰+p.

    Notes: The reaction of lithium phenyl(trimethylsilyl)methanide with phenyl(trimethylsilyl)methylzinc chloride-tmeda in the presence of tmeda yields the addition product, a bis(tmeda)-lithium dialkylchlorozincate. The elimination of lithium chloride leads to the formation of a tmeda adduct of bis[phenyl-(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc. The metathesis reaction of phenyl(trimethylsilyl)methylzinc chloride-tmeda with lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamide allows the isolation of the corresponding heteroleptic tmeda complex of an alkylzinc amide. The metalation of phenyl(trimethylstannyl)methane with butyllithium yields the transmetalation product benzyllithium. From the metathesis reaction of this lithium base with anhydrous zinc(II) chloride in the presence of tmeda, the tmeda adduct of dibenzylzinc crystallizes. The molecular structures of (tmeda)Li—CH(GeMe3)Ph, (tmeda)Zn(CH2Ph)2, (tmeda)Zn[CH(SiMe3)Ph]2, and (tmeda)Zn[CH(SiMe3)-Ph[N(H)Si(SiMe3)3 are reported. Whereas lithium bonds in an η3-fashion, the zinc atom forms a σ(Zn—C) bond. The extremely wide Zn—N—Si angle in (tmeda)Zn[CH(SiMe3)-Ph[N(H)Si(SiMe3)3 of 157° is remarkable.

    Notes: The mononuclear starting materials [Rh(η4-C8H12)(k2-P,Sb-iPr2PCH2SbR2)]PF6 (la, b) react with CF3CO2H in the presence of H2 to give the dinuclear hydridorhodium(II1) complexes [{RhH(k2-P,Sb-iPr2PCH2SbR2)]PF6 (2a, b) in almost quantitative yield. The X-ray crystal structural analysis of 2b (R = tBu) reveals a distorted octahedral geometry around the two metal centers with the two phosphanyl(stibanyl)methanes in a chelating and the two trifluoracetate ligands in a bridging coordination mode.

    Notes: The compound [Pd(en)(5′-IMP-N7)2].11 H2O, where 5′-IMP = inosine 5′-monophosphate, crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4322 with the unit cell parameters: a = b = 12.060(5) and c = 28.510(5) Å, V = 4147(3) Å3, Z = 4. A head-to-tail orientation with A configuration is observed for the nucleotides which are coordinated through the N(7) positions such that d[Pd-N(7)] = 2.053(8) Å. The sugar moieties exhibit anti orientations toward the purine bases while their pukkers adopt C(3)′-endo conformation. The overall conformation about the phosphate backbone is gauche+. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is observed between the phosphates and the NH groups of the en ligand with a donor-acceptor distance of 2.88 Å. The coordination mode of the solid-state structure is shown to be identical to that observed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy in solution under slightly acidic conditions, where the N (l) positions of the nucleotides are protonated. The results are discussed in reference to closely related systems reported in the literature with emphasis on the importance of hydrogen bonding in such complexes.

    Notes: The reaction between aryl azides and lithiated aryl amines leads to tetrazenes 3 and 9 which contain a chain of four nitrogen atoms. Reaction with different halosilanes gives the cyclic silatetrazenes 10, 12, and 15 where substitutents on the silicon vary form alkyl to hydrogen and chlorine atoms. The structures of 10, 12, and 15 in the solid state are reported. Variation of the solvent and the Lewis acidity of the halosilane influence the ratio of silatetrazene to side products, bissilyated amines. These effects are studied for different halosilanes.

    Notes: Reaction of P4 in THF or DME with 2 R*Na (R* = SitBu3) at -78°C leads quantitatively to deep red THF or DME adducts of R*NaP-P=P-PNaR* (3). According to 31P NMR, the P4 skeleton 3 is cis-configurated. On the other hand, reaction of P4 in TBME with 2 R*Na at -78°C leads quantitatively to (R*NaP)4 (4), a [2+2] cycloadduct of 3, the Na4P8 skeleton of which according to X-ray structure analysis forms a double cube with four P atoms in the second layer and two P and two Na atoms in alternating positions in the first and in the third layer (the Na atoms are coordinated with donors). By resolving the THF adduct 3 in TBME (the TBME adduct of 4 in THF) the compound 4 (the compound 3) is rapidly formed under reversal of the P-P=P-P configuration by way of [2+2] cycloaddition (by way of [2+2] cycloreversion). 3 and 4 are sensitive to oxidation and to protolysis. With TCNE, 3 is oxidized to R*2P4 (bicyclic P4 skeleton), with CF3SO3H, 3 may be transformed into R*3P5Na2 X 4 THF or in (R*P3)3 and R*PH2.

    Notes: Cyclopentadienyl ring metathesis occurs between [Ca(C5Me5)2] and [Ln(C5H5)3] complexes in toluene to generate the mixed ring compounds [Ln(C5Me5)2(C2H5)] (Ln=1-La, 1-Nd). 1-Nd has been characterized with X-ray diffraction as a sterically crowded monomer. Only one ring is exchanged between [Ca(C5Me5)2(thf)x] and [La(C5H5)3(thf)x] in toluene to yield [La(C5Me5)C5H5)2 (thf)] (2). In reaction with [M(C5H5)2] (M=Sn, Pb, Mn), [Ca(C5M5)2(thf)x] yields the corresponding [M(C5Me5)2] complexes. K[C5Me5] reacts with [La(C5H5)3(thf)], [Sn(C5H5)2] and [Pb[C5H5)2] in toluene to yield the ring-exchanged products 2, [Sn(C5Me5)2], and [Pb(C5Me5)2], respectively.

    Notes: The reaction of various sterically congested sodium enolates, generated by quantitative deprotonation of stable enols (of diphenylacetaldehyde in the case of 5), with dichlorotitanocene afforded a series of novel titanium enolates 1-5. The crystal structure of 1 could be determined. Due to the considerable steric shielding of the β,β-diaryl moiety, all the titanium enolates exhibit an oustanding stability towards hydrolysis, which increases with the higher steric demand of the substitutents at the C-C double bond. The kinetics of the hydrolysis, which is pseudo-first-order in THF/water (1 : 1) and acetonitrile/water (1 : 1), was investigated by UV spectroscopy. The pseudo-first-order rate constants measured in these solvent mixtures are in the range 6.4 · 10-4 s-1 〈 k1 〈 1.1 · 10-3 s-1. For comparison, the hydrolysis of 6, which should exhibit the usual sensitivity of titanium enolates towards hydrolysis, is about 1000 times faster.

    Notes: Phenylene-1,2-bis(phosphane) reacts with two mole-equivalents of tris[(triphenylphosphane)gold(I)]oxonium tetrafluoroborate in dichloromethane at -78°C to give high yields of a hexanuclear complex {C6H4]P(AuPPh3)3]2}2+ · 2 BF-4 (1). The variable-temperature 31P{1H}-NMR spectra of the product in CD2Cl2 at - 80°C are compatible with a static structure featuring three Ph3PAu units associated with each of the two C6H4P2 phosphide functions, as derived from a clear doublet/quartet pattern. At 50°C in CDCl3, however, there is rapid intramolecular scrambling of these Ph3PAu units, which gives rise to a triplet/septet pattern with the J(P,P) value reduced to exactly one half of the value at the low temperature limit.
