Syntheses, structures, and electroconductivity of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) and bis(methylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BMDT-TTF) salts with cobalt 8,8′-dichloro-3,3′-bis(1,2-dicarbollide)

Radical cation salts of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) and bis(methylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BMDT-TTF) with the 8,8′-dichloro derivative of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide) (BEDT-TTF)2[8,8′-Cl2-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2] (1) and (BMDT-TTF)4[8,8′-Cl2-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2] (2) were synthesized and their crystal structures and electrocon-ducting properties were determined. The synthesized radical cation salts are semiconductors with the conductivity σ293 = 1.5 and 2.0 Ohm−1 cm−1, respectively. A decrease in the size of the substituent in a series of (BEDT-TTF)2[8,8′-X2-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2] and (BMDT-TTF)4[8,8′-X2-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2] (X = I, Br, Cl) results in the compression of the anion sublattice of the crystal and compaction of the radical cation packing of the conducting layer, which, in turn, increases the conductivity of the crystals.

1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of 3-Phenylamino-5-phenylimino- 1,2,4-dithiazole to 1-Acyl-2-phenylacetylenes—A New Route to Functionalized 1,3-Thiazole Derivatives

Abstract3-Phenylamino-5-phenylimino-1,2,4-dithiazole reacted with 1-acyl-2-phenylacetylenes in ethanol or toluene on heating (78–80°C, 1 h) in chemo- and regioselective fashion to give previously unknown N-[5-acyl-3,4-diphenyl-1,3-thiazol-2(3H)-ylidene]-N′-phenylthioureas (yield 57–60%). The structure of N-[5-benzoyl-3,4-diphenyl-1,3-thiazol-2(3H)-ylidene]-N′-phenylthiourea was proved by X-ray analysis.

Geometric isomerism in the series of fluoroalkyl-containing 1,2,3-trione 2-arylhydrazones

According to the 1H, 13C, and 19F NMR data, fluoroalkyl-containing 1,2,3-trione 2-arylhydrazones in CDCl3 exist exclusively, while in (CD3)2CO preferentially, as isomers in which the acyl or aroyl group is involved in intramolecular hydrogen bond. The isomer structure was assigned on the basis of the chemical shifts of the carbonyl carbon atoms and fluorine atoms and carbon-fluorine spin-spin coupling constants JC-F. X-Ray diffraction data showed that 1,2,3-trione 2-arylhydrazones in crystal have the same structure as in CDCl3 solution. Quantum-chemical calculations were performed to rationalize predominant formation of 1,2,3-trione 2-arylhydrazone isomers with a free polyfluoroacyl group.

New approach to the synthesis of azauracils and azaisocytosines

A new procedure was developed for the synthesis of 6-phenyltetrazolo[1,5-b]triazin-7-one. Aza analogs of uracil and isocytosine were prepared by the tetrazole ring cleavage. It was demonstrated that these transformations can be used in the synthesis of anomalous nucleosides.

Structure of 6,11-dichloro-9-dimethylthio-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborane [6,11-Cl2-9-SMe2-7,8-C2B9H9]

A technique is proposed for directed synthesis of 6,11-dichloro-9-dimethylthio-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborane [6,11-Cl2-9-SMe2-7,8-C2B9H9]. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction is used to identify the molecular and crystal structure of the compound.

Steric structure of alkyl 2-aryl(hetaryl)hydrazono-3-fluoroalkyl-3-oxopropionates

Steric structure of fluorinated 2-arylhydrazono-3-oxo esters was studied by 1H, 19F, and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. It was found that these compounds in the crystalline state and in solutions in acetone-d6, DMSO-d6, and CDCl3 exist as Z isomers with the ester fragment involved in intramolecular hydrogen bond with the hydrazone NH proton. Exceptions are alkyl 2-arylhydrazono-4,4-difluoro-3-oxobutanoates which exist in acetone-d6 as mixtures of Z and E isomers, the former prevailing. Unlike fluorinated analogs, ethyl 2-(4-methylphenyl)hydrazono-3-oxobutanoate in crystal has the structure of E isomer in which intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed between the NH proton and acetyl carbonyl group. The same compound in acetone-d6, DMSO-d6, and CDCl3 gives rise to a mixture of Z and E isomers, the latter prevailing.

Structures and conductivities of isostructural synthetic metals (DOET)4[Hg2Cl6] and (DOET)4[Hg2Br6]

The structures of organic metals (DOET)4[Hg2Cl6] (1) and (DOET)4[Hg2Br6] (2), where DOET is (1,4-dioxanediyl-2,3-dithio)ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene, were established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural, and their crystals have layered structures. The conducting layers formed by the stacked DOET1/2+ cations alternate with the layers of the [Hg2X6]2– anions (X = Cl, Br). The temperature dependence of the conductivity of salt 1 shows a metallic character in the range of 300—4 K. Compound 2 undergoes the metal—semiconductor phase transition (TM—I) at 100 K.

Reactions of heterocumulenes with organometallic reagents: XVI. Quantum-chemical study on the mechanisms of formation of homo- and heteroannular azacycloheptadienes in reactions of 2-aza-1,3,5-trienes with potassium tert-butoxide

Mechanisms of intramolecular transformations of carbanions generated from 2-aza-1,3,5-trienes by the action of potassium tert-butoxide, which could lead to homo- or heteroannular azacycloheptadienes, were studied by quantum-chemical methods in terms of the density functional theory. The corresponding gradient channels were localized for model 1-methylsulfanyl-1-(cyclopentylideneamino)- and 1-methylsulfanyl-1-(cyclohexylideneamino)buta-1,3-dien-2-ols. Analysis of the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters showed that carbanion generated from N-cyclopentylidenebuta-1,3-dien-1-amine undergoes rearrangement mainly into homoannular azacycloheptadiene and that analogous N-cyclohexylidene derivative gives rise to heteroannular isomer. The results of calculations were consistent with the experimental data.

Synthesis and steric structure of N″-(arylmethylidene)-N″′-(1-methyl-3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ylidene)thiocarbonohydrazides

Thiocarbonohydrazones derived from aromatic aldehydes reacted with 4-phenylbut-3-yn-2-one in aqueous acetic acid (20°C, 2 h) to produce previously unknown N″-[(E-s-cis)-arylmethylidene]-N″′-[(Z-s-trans)-1-methyl-3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ylidene]thiocarbonohydrazides with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. The steric structure of N″-[(E-s-cis)-benzylidene]-N″′-[(Z-s-trans)-1-methyl-3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ylidene]thiocarbonohydrazide in crystal and in solution was studied by X-ray analysis and IR and NMR spectroscopy.
