2- , bidentate

From these data we conclude that agrobactin and parabactin form similar coordination compounds with ferric ion in which one of the atoms linked to the iron in the central bidentate portion of the complex is the tertiary N of the oxazoline ring. At neutral pH agrobactin A, in contrast to the tri-catechol enterobactin (l6), appeared to be not fully coordinated to the ferric ion. 

Similar experiments were performed by ligand exchange with the 1 1 ferric complex of nitrilotriacetate. The total proton yields per iron to the neutral pH zone were U.7 and for agrobactin and parabactin, respectively. Thus introduction of the iron (ill), either directly or by ligand exchange, gave complexes which for both agrobactin and parabactin should result in divalent anions at neutral pH. 

Net Electrical Charge. The iron complexes of agrobactin, agrobactin A, parabactin and enterobactin were prepared by neutralization of the ligands in the presence of ferric chloride and their electrophoretic mobilities compared with that of ferrichrome

In contrast, an iron complex of parabactin A was purple at both pH 6.5 and 7- +, and it displayed an unusually low mobility, thus indicating it to be incompletely formed and/or multi-nuclear.

In summary, the effects of a number of important parameters on the catalysed reaction between 2.4 and 2.5 have been examined, representing the first detailed study of Lewis-acid catalysis of a Diels-Alder reaction in water. Crucial for the success of Lewis-acid catalysis of this reaction is the bidentate character of 2.4. In Chapter 4 attempts to extend the scope of Lewis-acid catalysis of Diels-Alder reactions in water beyond the restriction to bidentate substrates will be presented. 

The coordination of bidentate ligands is generally more efficient than expected on the basis of the binding affinity of monodentate analogues. This is referred to as the chelate effect. For reviews, see (a) Schwarzenbach, G. Helv. Chim. Acta, 1952, 35, 2344 (b) reference 75. 

Consequently, in initial attempts to extend the scope, we aimed to identify catalysis of Diels-Alder reactions of other bidentate dienophiles in water. This task turned out to be more difficult than expected Scheme 4.5 provides a collection of potentially chelating dienophiles that all failed to... 

Careful examination of literature reporting Lewis-acid catalysis of Diels-Alder reactions in combination with kinetic investigations indicate that bidentate (or multidentate) reactants are required in order to ensure efficient catalysis in water. Moreover, studies of a number of model dienophiles revealed that a potentially chelating character is not a guarantee for coordination and subsequent catalysis. Consequently extension of the scope in this direction does not seem feasible. 

The effects of these ligands on the second-order rate constants for the Cu (ligand) catalysed reaction of Ic with 2 are modest In contrast, the effects on IC2 are more pronounced. The aliphatic Oramino acids induce an approximately two-fold reduction of Iv relative to for the Cu" aquo ion. For the square planar coordinated copper ions this effect is expected on the basis of statistics. The bidentate ligands block half the sites on the copper centre. 

The carbonylation of aryl iodides in the presence of terminal alkynes affords the acyl alkynes 565. Bidentate ligands such as dppf give good results. When PhjP is used, phenylacetylene is converted into diphenylacetylene as a main product[4l5]. Triflates react similarly to give the alkynyl ketones 566[4I6], In... 

Allylic acetates react with ketene silyl acetals. In this reaction, in addition to the allylated ester 468, the cyclopropane derivative 469. which is formed by the use of bidentate ligands, is obtained[303]. Formation of a cyclopropane derivative 471 has been observed by the stoichiometric reaction of the 7r-allylpal-... 

When a bidentate phosphine is used as a ligand for the reaction of J-keto esters or /i-diketones, no dimerization takes place. Only a 2-butenyl group is introduced to give 68[49,62], Substituted dienes such as isoprene, 1,3-cyclohexa-diene, and ocimene react with carbon nucleophiles to give a mixture of possible regio- and stereoisomers of 1 1 adducts when dppp is used as a ligand[63,64]. 

The red tetrathiomolybdate ion appears to be a principal participant in the biological Cu—Mo antagonism and is reactive toward other transition-metal ions to produce a wide variety of heteronuclear transition-metal sulfide complexes and clusters (13,14). For example, tetrathiomolybdate serves as a bidentate ligand for Co, forming Co(MoSTetrathiomolybdates and their mixed metal complexes are of interest as catalyst precursors for the hydrotreating of petroleum (qv) (15) and the hydroHquefaction of coal (see Coal conversion processes) (16). The intermediate forms MoOS Mo02S 2> MoO S have also been prepared (17). 

The chain-growth catalyst is prepared by dissolving two moles of nickel chloride per mole of bidentate ligand (BDL) (diphenylphosphinobenzoic acid in 1,4-butanediol). The mixture is pressurized with ethylene to 8.8 MPa (87 atm) at 40°C. Boron hydride, probably in the form of sodium borohydride, is added at a molar ratio of two borohydrides per one atom of nickel. The nickel concentration is 0.001—0.005%. The 1,4-butanediol is used to solvent-extract the nickel catalyst after the reaction. 

A further improvement in platinum catalysis is claimed from use of tin(Il) haUde and phosphine ligands which are rigid bidentates, eg, l,2-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclobutane (27). High rates for a product containing 99% linear aldehyde have been obtained. However, a pressure of 10 MPa (1450 psi) H2 CO is requited. 

These hydrated salts contain bidentate carbonate ligands and no water molecules are bound directly to the central metal atom. The only single-crystal x-ray diffraction studies available are those for salts of (4) (52—54) and the mineral tuliokite [128706 2-3], Na2BaTh(C03)2 -6H20], which contains the unusual Th(C02) 2 anion (5) (55). 

Peroxidic Compounds. When hydrogen peroxide is added to a solution of titanium(IV) compounds, an intense, stable, yellow solution is obtained, which forms the basis of a sensitive method for determining small amounts of titanium. The color probably results from the peroxo complex [Ti(02)(0H)(H20)J, and crystalline salts such as K2[Ti(02)(S0 2] H20 can be isolated from alkaline solutions. The peroxo ligand is bidentate the two oxygen atoms ate equidistant from the titanium (98). 

An acylate group is potentially a bidentate ligand. It may bond once or twice to one titanium, or bridge two titanium atoms as shown. 

In titanium acylates, the carboxylate ligands are unidentate, not bidentate, as shown by ir studies (333,334). The ligands are generally prepared from the hahde and silver acylate (335). The ben2oate is available also from a curious oxidative addition with ben2oyl peroxide (335—338) ... 

The known uranium(VI) carbonate soHds have empirical formulas, 1102(003), M2U02(C03)2, and M4U02(C03)3. The soHd of composition 1102(003) is a well-known mineral, mtherfordine, and its stmcture has been determined from crystals of both the natural mineral and synthetic samples. Rutherfordine is a layered soHd in which the local coordination environment of the uranyl ion consists of a hexagonal bipyramidal arrangement of oxygen atoms with the uranyl units perpendicular to the orthorhombic plane. Each uranium atom forms six equatorial bonds with the oxygen atoms of four carbonate ligands, two in a bidentate manner and two in a monodentate manner.
