- Abstract
The reaction of di-(o-acetylphenyl)acetylene (1) with excess dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) produced bis-DMAD adducts meso-3 and rac-3. This transformation is suggested to involve thermal rearrangement of 1 to the intermediate 3,3'-dimethyl-1,1'-biisobenzofuran (A), and subsequent Diels-Alder cycloadditions of two equivalents of DMAD to A. The isolation of trapping products meso-3 and rac-3, which contain complex polycyclic frameworks, provide strong evidence for the transient production of A, the first biisobenzofuran. An X-ray crystal structure of meso-3 was obtained.

- Abstract
Photolysis into the longest wavelength absorption band of 2-tert-butyl-2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl hydrazine (Hy) substituted naphthalenes causes aryl group reduction electron transfer to give (+)Hy-Ar(-). Electrooptical absorption measurements characterize the charge separation properties from these bands. Emission studies demonstrate that the separation between absorption and emission maxima for symmetrically disubstituted compounds is smaller than that for monosubstituted compounds, which is attributed to excited-state intervalence. The excited-state diabatic surfaces may be described as a Hy(+)-NA(- )-Hy(0), Hy(0)-NA(-)-Hy(+) pair, for which electronic interaction produces a double minimum that qualitatively resembles that in the ground state of the disubstituted intervalence radical cations.

204. Why magnesium is five-coordinate in methanol(phthalocyaninato)magnesium(II).

Guzei IA, McGaff RW, and Kieler HM
- Abstract
The square-pyramidal Mg center in the title compound, [Mg(C(32)H(16)N(8))(CH(4)O)], is five-coordinate due to the formation of back-to-back pi-pi dimers that saturate the vacant apical site of the metal coordination sphere. Each complex is a member of a back-to-back and a face-to-face dimer; the latter are tethered by two strong O-H...N hydrogen bonds. The dimers form columns that likely determine the solid-state packing. The phthalocyaninate ligands are essentially planar, with a slight 'hat visor' conformation character.

- Abstract
Reactions of stable silylenes 1 and 2 with a variety of halogenated organic compounds have been studied. Depending on the nature of the halocarbon, the products can be disilanes, LSiX-LSiR, or monosilanes, LSiXR, or a mixture of both types of products. Hexachloroethane reacts with the silylenes to give mainly the dichlorodisilane, LSiX-LSiX. The experimental results are rationalized in terms of several related free-radical chain mechanisms.

- Abstract
Reduction of imines by [2,5-Ph2-3,4-Tol2(eta(5)-C4COH)]Ru(CO)2H (2) produces kinetically stable ruthenium amine complexes. Reduction of an imine by 2 in the presence of an external amine trap gives only the complex of the newly generated amine. Reaction of 2 with H2N-p-C6H4N=CHPh (11), which contains an intramolecular amine trap, gave a 1:1 mixture of [2,5-Ph2-3,4-Tol2(eta(4)-C4CO)](CO)2RuNH(CH2Ph)(C6H4-p-NH2) (8), formed by coordination of the newly generated amine to the ruthenium center, and [2,5-Ph2-3,4-Tol2(eta(4)-C4CO)](CO)2RuNH2C6H4-p-NHCH2Ph (9), formed by coordination of the amine already present in the substrate. These results require transfer of hydrogen to the imine outside the coordination sphere of the metal to give a coordinatively unsaturated intermediate that can be trapped inside the initial solvent cage. Amine diffusion from the solvent cage must be much slower than coordination to the metal center. Mechanisms requiring prior coordination of the substrate to ruthenium would have led only to 8 and can be eliminated.

- Abstract
Design of functional foldamers requires knowledge of the conformational propensities of constituent residues. Here, we explore the effects of variations in both alpha-amino acid and beta-amino acid substitution on alpha/beta-peptide helicity. We also report the first X-ray crystal structure of a helical alpha/beta-peptide. We conclude that a certain amount of conformational preorganization in alpha/beta-peptides (via the inclusion of constrained beta-amino acids or alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino acids) is needed to promote helical folding; acyclic beta-amino acids and beta-branched alpha-amino acids are tolerated to only a limited extent.

- Abstract
[reaction: see text] The solution and chelation properties of 2-thienyllithium reagents with potential amine and ether chelating groups in the 3-position and related model systems have been investigated using low temperature 6Li, 7Li, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy, 15N-labeling, and the effect of solvent additives. In THF-ether mixtures at low temperature 3-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)-2-thienyllithium (4) is ca. 99% dimer (which is chelated) and 1% monomer (unchelated), whereas 3-(methoxymethyl)-2-thienyllithium (5) is <10% dimer. Compound 5 crystallizes as a THF-solvated dimer, but there is no indication that the ether side chain is chelated in solution. Both 4 and 5 form PMDTA-complexed monomers almost stoichiometrically, similar to the model compound 2, in sharp contrast to phenyl analogues, which show very different behavior. The barriers to dimer interconversion are ca. 2 kcal/mol lower and chelation is significantly weaker in the 2-thienyllithium reagents than in their phenyl analogues.

- Abstract
Glycosylated natural products are reliable platforms for the development of many front-line drugs, yet our understanding of the relationship between attached sugars and biological activity is limited by the availability of convenient glycosylation methods. When a universal chemical glycosylation method that employs reducing sugars and requires no protection or activation is used, the glycorandomization of digitoxin leads to analogs that display significantly enhanced potency and tumor specificity and suggests a divergent mechanistic relationship between cardiac glycoside-induced cytotoxicity and Na+/K+-ATPase inhibition. This report highlights the remarkable advantages of glycorandomization as a powerful tool in glycobiology and drug discovery.

211. New polymorphs of ROY and new record for coexisting polymorphs of solved structures.

- Abstract
With six polymorphs coexisting at room temperature, 5-methyl-2-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrile (ROY) is the top system in the current Cambridge Structural Database (Feb. 2005) for the number of polymorphs of solved crystal structures. Here we report two new ROY polymorphs, Y04 and YT04, and the crystal structure of YT04. Y04 is a metastable polymorph that tends to crystallize first from a melt at room temperature, and YT04 is a product of solid-state transformation of Y04. Despite its late discovery, YT04 is the densest among the polymorphs at 25 degrees C and likely the second most stable at 0 K. The conformation of ROY in YT04 is similar to those in the other two yellow polymorphs (Y and YN) but significantly different from those in the orange and red colored polymorphs (ON, OP, ORP, and R). Having escaped years of solution crystallization in several laboratories, Y04 and YT04 exemplify polymorphs that are likely missed by solvent-based screening and discovered through alternative routes.

- Abstract
The cationic ruthenium-hydride complex [(PCy3)2(CO)(CH3CN)2RuH]+BF4- (1) was found to be an effective catalyst for the regioselective coupling reaction of benzocyclic amines and terminal alkynes to form the tricyclic quinoline derivatives. The scope of the reaction was explored by using the catalytic system Ru3(CO)12/NH4PF6. The catalytically active cationic ruthenium-acetylide complex [(PCy3)2(CO)(CH3CN)2RuCCPh]+BF4- was isolated from the reaction of 1 with phenylacetylene.

- Abstract
The coupling of aryl iodides with alcohols under mild conditions has been explored using self-assembled octanuclear copper clusters as catalysts. Reactions involving tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol were typically complete in 4-8 h at 110 degrees C using an oil bath or 1-3 h with microwave heating. High yields of alkyl aryl ethers were obtained with catalyst loadings as low as 0.4 mol % cluster.

- Abstract
In collagen, strands of the sequence XaaYaaGly form a triple-helical structure. The Yaa residue is often (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline (Hyp). The inductive effect of the hydroxyl group of Hyp residues greatly increases collagen stability. Here, electron withdrawal by the hydroxyl group in Hyp and its 4S diastereomer (hyp) is increased by the addition of an acetyl group or trifluoroacetyl group. The crystalline structures of AcHyp[C(O)CH3]OMe and Achyp[C(O)CH3]OMe are similar to those of AcHypOMe and AcProOMe, respectively. The O-acylation of AcHypOMe and AchypOMe increases the 13C chemical shift of its Cgamma atom: AcHyp[C(O)CF3]OMe congruent with Achyp[C(O)CF3]OMe > AcHyp[C(O)CH3]OMe congruent with Achyp[C(O)CH3]OMe > or = AcHypOMe congruent with AchypOMe. This increased inductive effect is not apparent in the thermodynamics or kinetics of amide bond isomerization. Despite apparently unfavorable steric interactions, (ProHypGly)(10), which is O-acylated with 10 acetyl groups, forms a triple helix that has intermediate stability: (ProHypGly)(10) > {ProHyp[C(O)CH3]Gly}(10) >> (ProProGly)(10). Thus, the benefit to collagen stability endowed by the hydroxyl group of Hyp residues is largely retained by an acetoxyl group., (2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc)

- Abstract
Among the proteinogenic amino acids, only proline is a secondary amine and only proline has a saturated ring. Electronegative substituents on C-4 (that is, C(gamma)) have a substantial effect on the trans/cis ratio of the prolyl peptide bond and the pucker of the pyrrolidine ring. 2-Azabicyclo[2.1.1]hexane is, in essence, a proline analogue with two C(gamma) atoms, one in each of the two prevalent ring puckers of proline. Here, 2-azabicyclo[2.1.1]hexane analogues of 2S-proline, (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyproline, and (2S,4S)-4-fluoroproline residues were synthesized, and their trans/cis ratios were shown to be invariant in a particular solvent. Thus, the substitution of a proline residue on C-4 affects the trans/cis ratio by altering the pucker of its pyrrolidine ring. This finding has implications for the conformation of collagen, which has an abundance of 2S-proline and (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline residues, and can be stabilized by (2S,4R)-4-fluoroproline and (2S,4S)-4-fluoroproline residues.

Guzei IA and Czerwinski CJ
- Abstract
The title compounds, [Cr(C(12)H(10))(CO)(3)] and [Cr(2)(C(12)H(10))(CO)(6)], serve as a fundamental standard of comparison for other mono- and polysubstituted (eta(6)-biphenyl)tricarbonylchromium compounds. (eta(6)-Biphenyl)tricarbonylchromium has a typical piano-stool coordination about the Cr center, and the dihedral angle between the planes of the phenyl rings is 23.55 (5) degrees . The corresponding angle in mu-(eta(6):eta(6))-biphenyl-bis(tricarbonylchromium) is 0 degrees because the molecule occupies a crystallographic inversion center; the Cr atoms reside on opposite sides of the biphenyl ligand. Density functional theory and natural bonding orbital theory analyses were used to scrutinize the geometry of these and closely related compounds to explain important structural features.

- Abstract
The reaction of 1,3,5-cis-triazidocyclohexane with the electron-rich tris(dialkylamino)phosphines P(NMe(2))(3) (1) and N(CH(2)CH(2)NMe)(3)P (2b) in acetonitrile for 3 h furnished the corresponding tris-phosphazides 1,3,5-cis-(R(3)PN(3))(3)C(6)H(9), 3a (R(3)P = 1) and 3b (R(3)P = 2b), in 90% and 92% yields, respectively. The same reaction with the relatively electron-poor tris(dialkylamino)phosphine MeC(CH(2)NMe)(3)P (4) for 2 days gave the tris-iminophosphorane, 1,3,5-cis-(R(3)PN)(3)C(6)H(9), 5a (R(3)P = 4), in 60% yield. Compound 3b is a thermally stable solid that did not lose dinitrogen when refluxed in toluene for 24 h or when heated as a neat sample at 100 degrees C /0.5 Torr for 10 h. By contrast, tris-phosphazide 3a decomposed to the tris-iminophosphorane 1,3,5-cis-(R(3)PN)(3)C(6)H(9), 5b (R(3)P = 1), in 3 h in quantitative yield upon heating to 100 degrees C in toluene. Factors influencing the formation of the phosphazides or the iminophosphoranes in these reactions are discussed. The reaction of 3b with 4 equiv of benzoic acid gave [N(CH(2)CH(2)NMe)(3)P=NH(2)]PhCO(2) ([6bH]PhCO(2)) in quantitative yield along with benzene (56% yield) and dinitrogen. The same reaction with 3a gave [(Me(2)N)(3)P=NH(2)]PhCO(2) ([7aH]PhCO(2)) (quantitative yield), benzene (15% yield), and dinitrogen(.) Treatment of [6bH]PhCO(2) with KO(t)Bu afforded N(CH(2)CH(2)NMe)(3)P=NH (6b) in 40% overall yield. Compound 6b upon treatment with PhCH(2)CH(2)Br produced [6bH]Br in 90% yield along with styrene. The new compounds were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods, and selected compounds (3b, 5a, and [6bH]Br) were structured by X-ray crystallography. A special feature of 3b is its capability to function as a starting material for 6b, which was not accessible by other synthetic routes.

- Abstract
New transition metal silyl amide complexes (Me(2)N)(3)Ta[N(SiMe(3))(2)](SiPh(2)Bu(t)) (1) and (Me(2)N)M[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2)(SiPh(2)Bu(t)) (M = Zr, 2a, and Hf, 2b) were found to undergo gamma-H abstraction by the silyl ligands to give metallaheterocyclic complexes (3) and (M = Zr, 4a, and Hf, 4b), respectively. The conversion of 1 to 3 follows first-order kinetics with DeltaH() = 23.6(1.6) kcal/mol and DeltaS() = 3(5) eu between 288 and 313 K. The formation of 4a from (Me(2)N)Zr[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2)Cl (5a) and Li(THF)(2)SiPh(2)Bu(t) (6) involves the formation of the intermediate 2a, followed by gamma-H abstraction. Kinetic studies of these consecutive reactions, a second-order reaction to give 2a and then a first-order gamma-H abstraction to give 4a, were conducted by an analytical method and a numerical method. At 278 K, the rate constants k(1) and k(2) for the two consecutive reactions are 2.17(0.03) x 10(-)(3) M(-)(1) s(-)(1) and 5.80(0.15) x 10(-)(5) s(-)(1) by the analytical method. The current work is a rare kinetic study of the A + B --> C --> D (+ E) consecutive reactions. Kinetic studies of the formation of a metallaheterocyclic moiety have, to our knowledge, not been reported. In addition, gamma-H abstraction by a silyl ligand to give such a metallaheterocyclic moiety is new. Theoretical investigations of the gamma-H abstraction by silyl ligands have been conducted by density functional theory calculations at the Becke3LYP (B3LYP) level, and they revealed that the formation of the metallacyclic complexes through gamma-H abstraction is entropically driven. X-ray crystal structures of (Me(2)N)(3)Ta[N(SiMe(3))(2)](SiPh(2)Bu(t)) (1), (Me(2)N)Zr[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2)Cl (5a), and (M = Zr, 4a, and Hf, 4b) are also reported.

- Abstract
We have designed and synthesized a modified calixarene derivative (1) that allows, for the first time, the isolation of a stable cation radical salt that binds a single molecule of nitric oxide deep within its cavity with remarkable efficiency (KNO >108 M-1), as demonstrated by isolation of a crystalline complex [1, NO]+ and its characterization by X-ray crystallography as well as by optical spectroscopy. Furthermore, the ready accessibility of the calixarene cation radical will allow the exploration of its use for developing efficient sensing devices for nitric oxide based on the accompanied color changes.

- Abstract
The Pd(OAc)(2)/pyridine catalyst system is one of the most convenient and versatile catalyst systems for selective aerobic oxidation of organic substrates. This report describes the catalytic mechanism of Pd(OAc)(2)/pyridine-mediated oxidation of benzyl alcohol, which has been studied by gas-uptake kinetic methods and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The data reveal that turnover-limiting substrate oxidation by palladium(II) proceeds by a four-step pathway involving (1) formation of an adduct between the alcohol substrate and the square-planar palladium(II) complex, (2) proton-coupled ligand substitution to generate a palladium-alkoxide species, (3) reversible dissociation of pyridine from palladium(II) to create a three-coordinate intermediate, and (4) irreversible beta-hydride elimination to produce benzaldehyde. The catalyst resting state, characterized by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, consists of an equilibrium mixture of (py)(2)Pd(OAc)(2), 1, and the alcohol adduct of this complex, 1xRCH(2)OH. These in situ spectroscopic data provide direct support for the mechanism proposed from kinetic studies. The catalyst displays higher turnover frequency at lower catalyst loading, as revealed by a nonlinear dependence of the rate on [catalyst]. This phenomenon arises from a competition between forward and reverse reaction steps that exhibit unimolecular and bimolecular dependences on [catalyst]. Finally, overoxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid, even at low levels, contributes to catalyst deactivation by formation of a less active palladium benzoate complex.

- Abstract
An eta2-peroxopalladium(II) complex, derived from dioxygen addition to Pd(IMes)2 (IMes = bis-1,3-di(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazoline-2-ylidene), has been isolated and characterized. Subsequent addition of HOAc to (IMes)2Pd(O2) yields the first example of a hydroperoxopalladium species derived from molecular oxygen. The characterization and reactivity studies of these complexes provide the most detailed insights to date into the proposed mechanism for palladium(0) oxidation by molecular oxygen.

- Abstract
Compounds that contain the anion [MeReO(edt)(SPh)](-) (3-) were synthesized with the countercations 2-picolinium (PicH+3-) and 2,6-lutidinium (LutH+3-), where edt is 1,2-ethanedithiolate. Both PicH+3- and MeReO(edt)(tetramethylthiourea) (4) were crystallographically characterized. The rhenium atom in each of these compounds exists in a five-coordinate distorted square pyramid. In the solid state, PicH+3- contains an anion with a short (d(SH) = 232 pm) and nearly linear hydrogen-bonded (N-H.S) interaction to the cation. Ligand substitution reactions were studied in chloroform. Displacement of PhSH by PPh(3) follows second-order kinetics, d[MeReO(edt)(PPh(3))]/dt = k[PicH+3-][PPh3], whereas with pyridines an unusual form was found, d[MeReO(edt)(Py)]/dt = k[PyH+3-][Py](2), in which the conversion of PicH+3- to PyH+3- has been incorporated. Further, added Py accelerates the formation of [MeReO(edt)(PPh3)], v = k.[PicH+3-].[PPh3].[Py]. Compound 4, on the other hand, reacts with both PPh(3) and pyridines, L, at a rate given by d[MeReO(edt)(L)]/dt = k.[4].[L]. When PicH+3- reacts with pyridine N-oxides, a three-stage reaction was observed, consistent with ligand replacement of SPh(-) by PyO, N-O bond cleavage of the PyO assisted by another PyO, and eventual decomposition of MeRe(O)(edt)(OPy) to MeReO(3). Each of first two steps showed a large substituent effect; Hammett analysis gave rho(1) = -5.3 and rho(2) = -4.3.

Silyl anion SiButPh2- (2) was found to substitute an amide ligand in Zr(NMe2)4 (3) to give the disilyl complex Zr(NMe2)3(SiButPh2)2- (1a) and Zr(NMe2)5- (1b) in THF. The reaction is reversible, and nucleophilic amide NMe2- attacks the Zr-SiButPh2 bonds in 1a or Zr(NMe2)3(SiButPh2) in the reverse reaction, leading to an unusual ligand exchange equilibrium 2 3 + 2 2 right harpoon over left harpoon 1a + 1b (eq 1). The silyl anion 2 selectively attacks the -N(SiMe3)2 ligand in Zr(NMe2)3[N(SiMe3)2] (6) to give 1a and N(SiMe3)2- (7). Reversible reaction occurs as well, where 7 selectively substitutes the silyl ligand in Zr(NMe2)3(SiButPh2)2- (1a) or Zr(NMe2)3(SiButPh2), giving the equilibrium 6 + 2 2 right harpoon over left harpoon 1a + 7 (eq 3). The thermodynamics of these equilibria has been studied: For eq 1, DeltaH degrees = -8.3(0.2) kcal/mol, DeltaS degrees = -23.3(0.9) eu, and DeltaG degrees 298K = -1.4(0.5) kcal/mol at 298 K; for eq 3, DeltaH degrees = -1.61(0.12) kcal/mol, DeltaS degrees = -2.6(0.5) eu, and DeltaG degrees 298K = -0.8(0.3) kcal/mol. In both equilibria, the enthalpy changes for the forward reactions outweigh the entropy changes, and therefore the substitutions of amide ligands in Zr(NMe2)4 (3) and Zr(NMe2)3[N(SiMe3)2] (6) to afford the disilyl complex 1a are thermodynamically favored. The following equilibria were also observed and studied: Zr(NMe2)3[N(SiMe3)2] (6) + Si(SiMe3)3- (9) right harpoon over left harpoon Zr(NMe2)3[Si(SiMe3)3] (10) + N(SiMe3)2- (7) and Zr(NMe2)4 (3) + 9 right harpoon over left harpoon 10 + Zr(NMe2)5- (1b).

- Abstract
The successful isolation of stable (and soluble) hexa- and tetratrityl cations based on hexaphenylbenzene and tetraphenylmethane scaffold has been accomplished by using readily available starting materials. These robust polytrityl cations can be isolated in crystalline form and stored indefinitely at 0 degrees C. Their structures have been established by (1)H/(13)C NMR spectroscopy and by UV-vis spectroscopy. The structures of these polytrityl cations were further confirmed by quantitative transformations to the reduced (poly)triphenylmethyl derivatives by hydride transfer from triethylsilane, cycloheptatriene, or a borane-dimethyl sulfide complex.

- Abstract
The title compound, [Cr(C(12)H(9)Br)(CO)(3)], crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with close Br.Br separations. These contacts, along with several other factors, influence the (Ph)C-C(o-BrC(6)H(4)) dihedral angle of 58.82 (6) degrees. The typical piano-stool coordination about the Cr atom is in excellent agreement with the results of density functional theory calculations.

Results of single-crystal X-ray experiments performed for the title compounds, (1S,2R,3S,4R,5R)-4-benzyloxy-2-[1-(benzyloxy)allyl]-5-hydroxymethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrofuran-3-ol, C(22)H(26)O(5), (I), and (3R,5S,6S,7S,8S)-3,6-bis(benzyloxy)-5-iodomethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrofuro[3,2-b]furan-2-one, C(21)H(21)IO(5), (II), demonstrate that the tetrahydrofuran ring that is common to both structures adopts a different conformation in each molecule. Structural analyses of (I) and (II), which were prepared from the same precursor, indicate that their different conformations are caused by hydrogen-bonding interactions in the case of (I) and the presence of a fused bicyclic ring system in the case of (II). Density functional theory calculations on simplified analogs of (I) and (II) are also presented.

- Abstract
The structure of sodium hexafluorophosphate monohydrate, NaPF(6) x H(2)O, has been inadvertently redetermined, revealing that the previously reported space group, Imma, was assigned incorrectly, with the a and b axes interchanged. The correct space group is Pnna. The program PLATON [Spek (2003). J. Appl. Cryst. 36, 7-13] suggested both Imma and Pmma as possible space groups, but only Pnna is consistent with the systematic absences. The inter-ionic and hydrogen-bonding interactions in the lattice form a three-dimensional network.

- Abstract
We examine a new class of beta-peptides, 2,2-disubstituted pyrrolidine-4-carboxylic acid oligomers, and show that they manifest discrete conformational preferences despite the impossibility of internal hydrogen bonding. Numerous beta-peptide families have been described that display specific secondary structural preferences, but all of the conformations characterized in detail so far have contained internal hydrogen bonds. Internal hydrogen bonding is observed within the most common secondary structures of conventional peptides as well. Identifying foldamers in which shape control is independent of hydrogen bonding is significant in two ways. At a fundamental level, foldamers in this small but growing class are interesting because their shapes are controlled by distinctive networks of noncovalent forces. At a practical level, non-hydrogen bonded foldamers may be useful in biomedical applications because the low intrinsic polarity of their backbones may promote bioavailability.

- Abstract
A versatile synthesis of pi-stacked polyfluorenes is described. These polyfluorenes retain their cofacial conformations both in solution and in the solid state as was judged by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The experimental electron-detachment energies of F1-F4 showed linear correlations with the quantity 1/n, where n is the number of fluorene moieties. These correlations allowed the estimation of the vertical ionization potential (IP) of 7.10 eV and the oxidation potential (Eox) of 0.97 V versus SCE for the multiply stacked polyfluorene donor with an infinite number of fluorene moieties. These observations with pi-stacked polyfluorenes may prove to be highly relevant to the electron-transport phenomenon observed in DNA through pi-stacked bases.

- Abstract
Collagen is an integral part of many types of connective tissue in animals, especially skin, bones, cartilage, and basement membranes. A fibrous protein, collagen has a triple-helical structure, which is comprised of strands with a repeating Xaa-Yaa-Gly sequence. l-Proline (Pro) and 4(R)-hydroxy-l-proline (4-Hyp) residues occur most often in the Xaa and Yaa positions. The 4-Hyp residue is known to increase markedly the conformational stability of a collagen triple helix. In natural collagen, a 3(S)-hydroxy-l-proline (3-Hyp) residue occurs in the sequence: 3-Hyp-4-Hyp-Gly. Its effect on collagen stability is unknown. Here, two host-guest peptides containing 3-Hyp are synthesized: (Pro-4-Hyp-Gly)(3)-3-Hyp-4-Hyp-Gly-(Pro-4-Hyp-Gly)(3) (peptide 1) and (Pro-4-Hyp-Gly)(3)-Pro-3-Hyp-Gly-(Pro-4-Hyp-Gly)(3) (peptide 2). The 3-Hyp residues in these two peptides diminish triple-helical stability in comparison to Pro. This destabilization is small when 3-Hyp is in the natural Xaa position (peptide 1). There, the inductive effect of its 3-hydroxyl group diminishes slightly the strength of the interstrand 3-HypC=O.H-NGly hydrogen bond. The destabilization is large when 3-Hyp is in the nonnatural Yaa position (peptide 2). There, its pyrrolidine ring pucker leads to inappropriate mainchain dihedral angles and interstrand steric clashes. Thus, the natural regioisomeric residues 3-Hyp and 4-Hyp have distinct effects on the conformational stability of the collagen triple helix.

Reynolds MA, Guzei IA, and Angelici RJ
- Abstract
In the search for metal complexes that promote the cleavage of C-S bonds in thiophenes, we observe that the reaction of Re(2)(CO)(10) and benzothiophene (BT) under a hydrogen atmosphere gives the trinuclear cluster Re(3)(mu-H)(2)(mu(3)-S-2-EtC(6)H(4))(mu-2,3-DHBT)(CO)(9) (1), which contains a hydrogenated BT ligand and a thiolate ligand resulting from the hydrogenation and cleavage of a C-S bond in BT. A detailed study of the reaction shows that Re(2)(CO)(10) initially reacts with H(2) to give H(3)Re(3)(CO)(12), which subsequently converts to H(4)Re(4)(CO)(12), which finally reacts with BT to give 1.

- Abstract
Four new methyloxorhenium(V) compounds were synthesized with these tridentate chelating ligands: 2-mercaptoethyl sulfide (abbreviated HSSSH), 2-mercaptoethyl ether (HSOSH), thioldiglycolic acid (HOSOH), and 2-(salicylideneamino)benzoic acid (HONOH). Their reactions with MeReO(3) under suitable conditions led to these products: MeReO(SSS), 1, MeReO(SOS), 2, MeReO(OSO)(PAr(3)), 3, and MeReO(ONO)(PPh(3)), 4. These compounds were characterized spectroscopically and crystallographically. Compounds 1 and 2 have a five-coordinate distorted square pyramidal geometry about rhenium, whereas 3 and 4 are six-coordinate compounds with distorted octahedral structures. The kinetics of oxidation of 2 and 3 in chloroform with pyridine N-oxides follow different patterns. The oxidation of 2 shows first-order dependences on the concentrations of 2 and the ring-substituted pyridine N-oxide. The Hammett analysis of the rate constants gives a remarkably large and negative reaction constant, rho = -4.6. The rate of oxidation of 3 does not depend on the concentration or the identity of the pyridine N-oxide, but it is directly proportional to the concentration of water, both an accidental and then a deliberate cosolvent. The mechanistic differences have been interpreted as reflecting the different steric demands of five- and six-coordinate rhenium compounds.

The five-membered heterocycle of the phosphine ligand is in a slightly distorted twist conformation. An intramolecular N1-H1.Cl1 hydrogen bond contributes to the adopted conformation and may additionally participate in secondary interactions with substrates during catalysis.

- Abstract
Hydride abstraction from C(5)Me(5)(CO)(2)Re(eta(2)-PhC triple bond CCH(2)Ph) (1) gave a 3:1 mixture of eta(3)-propargyl complex [C(5)Me(5)(CO)(2)Re(eta(3)-PhCH-C triple bond CPh)][BF(4)] (5) and eta(2)-1-metalla(methylene)cyclopropene complex [C(5)Me(5)(CO)(2)Re(eta(2)-PhC-C=CHPh)][BF(4)] (6). Observation of the eta(2)-isomer requires 1,3-diaryl substitution and is favored by electron-donating substituents on the C(3)-aryl ring. Interconversion of eta(3)-propargyl and eta(2)-1-metalla(methylene)cyclopropene complexes is very rapid and results in coalescence of Cp (1)H NMR resonances at about -50 degrees C. Protonation of the alkynyl carbene complex C(5)Me(5)(CO)(2)Re=C(Ph)C triple bond CPh (22) gave a third isomer, the eta(3)-benzyl complex [C(5)Me(5)(CO)(2)Re[eta(3)(alpha,1,2)-endo,syn-C(6)H(5)CH(C triple bond CC(6)H(5))]][BF(4)] (23) along with small amounts of the isomeric complexes 5 and 6. While 5 and 6 are in rapid equilibrium, there is no equilibration of the eta(3)-benzyl isomer 23 with 5 and 6.

- Abstract
Dipotassio-9-germafluorenyl dianion (3b) was synthesized by reduction of 9,9-dichloro-9-germafluorene (4b) with sodium/potassium alloy in tetrahydrofuran. The X-ray crystal structure of 3b, like that for the analogous silicon compound 3a, shows C-C bond length equalization in the five-membered metallole rings and C-C bond length alternation in the six-membered benzenoid rings, indicating aromatic delocalization of electrons into the germole ring of 3b. Calculated nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) values indicate that the five-membered ring is more aromatic than the six-membered rings in 3a and 3b. Derivatization of 3b with Me(3)SiCl gave 9,9-bis(trimethylsilyl)-9-germafluorene (5). Controlled oxidation of 3b yielded dipotassio-9,9'-digerma-9,9'-bifluorenyl dianion (6). Reaction of 6 with MeOH yielded 9,9'-digerma-9,9'-bifluorene (7). The X-ray structure of 6 indicates C-C bond length alternation in the five-membered rings. Thus dianion 6, like its silicon analogue 8, has the negative charges localized at metal atoms and no aromatic character. Dipotassio-9,9'-bifluorenyl dianion (9), the carbon analogue of 6, exhibits aromaticity with its X-ray crystal structure showing the C-C bond length equalization in both the five- and six-membered rings. Derivatization of 9 with MeI gave 9,9'-dimethyl-9,9'-bifluorene (10). The structure of 10 shows that the two fluorenyl rings are cis to each other with a torsional angle of 59 degrees and a long C-C single bond (1.60 A) connecting them.

- Abstract
The bis(2,6-diisopropylphenylimido)methylrhenium(VII) sulfide dimer, [CH(3)Re(NAr)(2)](2)(mu-S)(2) (1), reacts with a 1:1 amount of a phosphine or an alkyl isocyanide to yield a dimeric rhenium(VI) species, [CH(3)Re(NAr)(2)](2)(mu-S) (2), which has been structurally characterized. The two rhenium atoms in 2 are within bonding distance, 280 pm, more than 90 pm shorter than in 1. With excess L, 1 reacts to give a monomeric rhenium(V) complex, CH(3)Re(NAr)(2)L(2) (3A, L = PZ(3), Z = alkyl, aryl; 3B, L = isocyanide). The rate of formation of 3A is first-order with respect to [1] and second-order with respect to monodentate phosphine concentrations. With bidentate phosphines, however, the order with respect to the phosphine drops to unity. The addition of another (nonoxidizable) coordinating ligand, such as pyridine or one of its derivatives, accelerates the formation of 3A. In the presence of a pyridine ligand the reaction is first-order with respect to phosphine concentration, both monodentate and bidentate. The reactions between phosphines and 2 are slower than those with 1, which excludes [CH(3)Re(NAr)(2)](2)(mu-S) from being the intermediate in the reactions of 1. To account for that, we have proposed an intervening species that partitions between transformation to 3 with excess L and to 2 otherwise.

A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of selenophenes is disclosed. Selenophenes were synthesized in high yields in a single operation from 1,3-dienes containing a carbonyl group at the C-1 position and selenium dioxide. The bidirectional synthesis of selenophenes can also be demonstrated using this method. The selenophene is believed to form via a [4 + 2] cycloaddition between diene and selenium dioxide.

- Abstract
Chelating dithiolate ligands--e.g., mtp from 2-(mercaptomethyl)thiophenol, edt from 1,2-ethanedithiol, and pdt from 1,3-propanedithiol--stabilize high-valent oxorhenium(V) against hydrolytic and oxidative decomposition. In addition to the dithiolate chelating to a single rhenium, one sulfur forms a coordinate bond to the other rhenium. In one arrangement this gives a dimer with a nearly planar diamond core with different internal Re-S distances. The new compounds are [MeReO(edt)](2) (2) and [MeReO(pdt)](2) (3), which can be compared to the previously known [MeReO(mtp)](2) (1). Another mode of synthesis leads to [ReO](2)(mtp)(3) (5) and [ReO](2)(edt)(3) (6). They, too, have similar Re(2)S(2) cores that involve donor atoms from two of the dithiolate ligands; the third dithiolate chelates one of the rhenium atoms. Gentle hydrolysis of 1 affords [Bu(n)4][[MeReO(mtp)](2)(mu-OH)] (7) in low yield. It appears to be the first example of this structural type for rhenium. The use of dithioerythritol as a starting material allowed the synthesis of a dioxorhenium(VII) compound, [MeReO(2)](2)(dte) (8). Its importance lies in understanding the role such compounds are believed to play as intermediates in oxygen atom catalysis. Ligation of the dimers 1-3 converts them into monomeric compounds, MeReO(dithiolate)L. These reactions go essentially to completion for L = PPh(3), but reach an equilibrium for L = NC(5)H(4)R. With R = 4-Ph, the values of K/10(3) L mol(-1) for the reactions (1-3) + 2L = 2MeReO(dithiolate)L are identical within 3 sigma: 1.15(3) (1), 1.24(4) (2), and 1.03(16) (3). The rates of monomer formation follow the rate law -d ln [dimer]/dt = k(a)[L] + k(b)[L](2). These trends were found: (1) phosphines are slow to react compared to pyridines, (2) the edt dimer 2 reacts much more rapidly than 1 and 3. Dimer 1 and MeReO(mtp)PPh(3) both catalyze oxygen atom transfer: PicO + PPh(3) --> Pic + Ph(3)PO. Compound 1 is ca. 90 times more reactive, which can be attributed to its lability toward small ligands as opposed to the low rate of displacement of PPh(3) from the mononuclear catalyst. The kinetics of this reaction follows the rate law -d[PicO]/dt = k[PicO][1]/[1 + kappa[PPh(3)]], with k = 5.8 x 10(6) L mol(-1) s(-1) and kappa = 3.5 x 10(2) L mol(-1) at 23 degrees C in benzene. A mechanism has been proposed to account for these findings.

The title compound, (C(5)H(6)N)[NbCl(4)O(C(5)H(5)N)]center dotC(5)H(5)N, crystallizes as discrete ions, with a very strong linear N-H...N hydrogen-bonding interaction between the cation and the solvate pyridine molecule [N...N 2.755 (5) A]. All chemical species occupy crystallographic twofold axes. The ligated and solvate pyridines form ABABAB stacks in the lattice. There is pseudosymmetry which emulates a centred unit cell in Amm2, but it is not supported by the diffraction pattern, which is consistent with the correct space group Pnc2. Three crystallographic software packages suggested space group Amm2 over Pnc2, while a fourth indicated Pnc2, a subgroup of Amm2.

Reynolds MA, Guzei IA, and Angelici RJ
- Abstract
In hydrodesulfurization model reactions of dinuclear metal complexes with thiophenes, we observe that ultraviolet photolysis of Re(2)(CO)(10) and benzothiophenes (BT) in hexanes solution produces the ring-opened BT complexes Re(2)(CO)(7)(mu-BT) (1a-d) (BT = benzothiophene (BT) 1a, 2-methylbenzothiophene (2-MeBT) 1b, 3-methylbenzothiophene (3-MeBT) 1c, and 3,5-dimethylbenzothiophene (3,5-Me(2)BT) 1d). The eta(1)(S)-bound BT complexes Re(2)(CO)(9)(eta(1)(S)-BT) (2a-d), prepared from Re(2)(CO)(9)(THF) and BT, are readily converted into 1a-d in good yields (40-60%) during UV photolysis in hexanes solution, which suggests that the eta(1)(S)-bound complexes 2a-d are precursors to 1a-d in the reactions of Re(2)(CO)(10) with BT. Irradiation of Re(2)(CO)(10) and 3,5-Me(2)BT with UV light in decane solution under an atmosphere of H(2) produces complex 1d and the partially hydrogenated BT complex Re(2)(CO)(7)(mu-3,5-Me(2)BT-H)(eta-H) (3d). Reactions of 1a with phosphines yield further ring-opened BT-Re complexes of the types Re(2)(CO)(7)(PMe(3))(3)(mu-BT) (4) and Re(2)(CO)(7)(PR(3))(2)(mu-BT) (R = Me (5), (i)Pr (6), Cy (7), and bis(diethylphosphino)ethane (8)). Structures of 1d, 2c, 3d, and 6, which demonstrate various bonding modes of benzothiophene and its C-S cleaved derivatives to two metal centers, were determined by X-ray crystallographic studies.

- Abstract
The reaction of NaI with 2 equiv of HC(pz)(3) or HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) (pz = pyrazolyl ring) leads to the formation of [[HC(pz)(3)](2)Na](I) (1) and [[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)Na](I) (2), respectively. Both compounds have trigonally distorted octahedral arrangements about the sodium. A similar reaction of KPF(6) with HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) results in the formation of [[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)K](PF(6)) (3), a complex also shown crystallographically to have a trigonally distorted octahedral arrangement about the potassium, which is an unusually low coordination number for this large metal ion. The complex [[HC(pz)(3)](2)Sr](BF(4))(2) (4) forms in the reaction of Sr(acac)(2) (acac = acetylacetonate) with HBF(4).Et(2)O followed by 2 equiv of HC(pz)(3). The structure is highly distorted, showing kappa(3) bonding of both tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligands and, in addition, interactions with the metal from three fluorine atoms from the BF(4)(-) counterions. The symmetrical structure of 1 and the nine-coordinate structure of 4 are both very different from the distorted, six-coordinate structure [[HC(pz)(3)](2)Pb](BF(4))(2), indicating that for this compound the lone pair on lead(II) is influencing the structure. The reaction of M(acac)(2) (M = Sr, Ca) with H[B[3,5-(CF(3))(2)C(6)H(3)](4)] followed by 2 equiv of HC(pz)(3) produces [[HC(pz)(3)](2)(Hacac)Sr][B[3,5-(CF(3))(2)C(6)H(3)](4)](2) (5) (when the reaction is done in CH(2)Cl(2)), [[HC(pz)(3)](2)(Me(2)CO)(2)Sr][B[3,5-(CF(3))(2)C(6)H(3)](4)](2) (6) (when the reaction is done in acetone), and [[HC(pz)(3)](2)(Hacac)Ca][B[3,5-(CF(3))(2)C(6)H(3)](4)](2)(7), respectively. The structures of all three complexes show a distorted eight-coordinate arrangement of the ligands about the metal.

- Abstract
1-Silafluorene dianion was synthesized by potassium reduction of 1,1-dichloro-1-silafluorene in refluxing THF. The X-ray structure of 1,1-dipotassio-1-silafluorene (3b) shows C-C bond length equalization in the five-membered silole ring and C-C bond length alternation in the six-membered benzene rings, indicating aromatic delocalization of electrons in the silole ring. The downfield (29)Si chemical shift at 29.0 ppm and theoretical calculations also support electron delocalization in the silole ring of 3b. Dianion salt 3b underwent nucleophilic reactions with Me(3)SiCl and EtBr to form the corresponding disubstituted products. Benzaldehyde underwent reductive coupling in the presence of 3b. Slow oxidation of 3b yielded 1,1'-dipotassio-1,1'-bis(silafluorene) (16). The X-ray structure and (29)Si chemical shift (-38.0 ppm) of 16 indicate localized negative charges at the silicon atoms and no aromatic character. Heating a DME/hexane solution of 3b in the presence of 18-crown-6 led to a novel diradical dianion salt.

- Abstract
Complex [[(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(SiMe(2))(2)]Ru(2)(CO)(4)(mu-H)](+)BF(4)(-) (1H(+)BF(4)(-)), which features a protonated Ru-Ru bond, reacts with F(-) to give (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(2)Ru(2)(CO)(4) (2), resulting from the cleavage of both SiMe(2) groups, with I(-) to give the Ru-Ru cleaved product [(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(SiMe(2))(2)]Ru(2)(CO)(4)(H)(I)(3), and with phosphines (PEt(3), PMe(2)Ph) to give [[(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(SiMe(2))(2)]Ru(2)(CO)(4)(H)(PR(3))](+) (4a-b). Reaction of 1H(+)BF(4)(-) and NaOMe in THF generates [(eta(5)-C(5)H(4))(2)SiMe(2)]Ru(2)(CO)(4) (5), resulting from the cleavage of a single SiMe(2) group, while the reaction of 1H(+)BF(4)(-) and NaOMe in MeOH generates [mu-eta(5):eta(5)-(C(5)H(3)SiMe(2)OMe)(C(5)H(4))SiMe(2)]Ru(2)(CO)(4) (6), resulting from the partial cleavage of a SiMe(2) group. Reaction of 1H(+)BF(4)(-) and NaSR (R = Me, Et) in THF generates [(eta(5)-C(5)H(3))(2)(SiMe(2))(2)]Ru(2)(CO)(4)(H)(SR) (R = Me, Et; 7a-b), which undergoes rearrangement upon contact with neutral and basic alumina or silica to give complexes [mu-eta(5):eta(1):eta(5)-(C(5)H(3)C=O)(C(5)H(4))(SiMe(2))(2)O]Ru(2)(mu-SR)(CO)(3) (R = Me, Et; 8a-b). Molecular structures of 4a, 6, and 8a as determined by X-ray diffraction studies are also presented.
