NH2)50s(2,3-T -L)], where L = furan, pyrrole, and thiophene. Although neither the furan nor thiophene complexes react with maleic anhydride over a period of 10 days, the pyrrole complex (15) reacts rapidly at room temperature and 101.3 kPa to form a mixture of endo (17) and exo (16) complexes. An a2omethine ylide intermediate was postulated as the key intermediate through which maleic anhydride added to the 2- and 5-positions of the coordinated pyrrole ring. 

The dipole moment varies according to the solvent it is ca 5.14 x 10 ° Cm (ca 1.55 D) when pure and ca 6.0 x 10 ° Cm (ca 1.8 D) in a nonpolar solvent, such as benzene or cyclohexane (14,15). In solvents to which it can hydrogen bond, the dipole moment may be much higher. The dipole is directed toward the ring from a positive nitrogen atom, whereas the saturated nonaromatic analogue pyrroHdine [123-75-1] has a dipole moment of 5.24 X 10 ° C-m (1.57 D) and is oppositely directed. Pyrrole and its alkyl derivatives are TT-electron rich and form colored charge-transfer complexes with acceptor molecules, eg, iodine and tetracyanoethylene (16). 

The reactivity sequence furan > tellurophene > selenophene > thiophene is thus the same for all three reactions and is in the reverse order of the aromaticities of the ring systems assessed by a number of different criteria. The relative rate for the trifluoroacetylation of pyrrole is 5.3 x lo . It is interesting to note that AT-methylpyrrole is approximately twice as reactive to trifluoroacetylation as pyrrole itself. The enhanced reactivity of pyrrole compared with the other monocyclic systems is also demonstrated by the relative rates of bromination of the 2-methoxycarbonyl derivatives, which gave the reactivity sequence pyrrole>furan > selenophene > thiophene, and by the rate data on the reaction of the iron tricarbonyl-complexed carbocation [C6H7Fe(CO)3] (35) with a further selection of heteroaromatic substrates (Scheme 5). The comparative rates of reaction from this substitution were 2-methylindole == AT-methylindole>indole > pyrrole > furan > thiophene (73CC540). 

Di-rerr-butylsodium pyrrolate serves as a source of the complexes of lanthanides [93CB2657 95JOM(495)C12]. Thus, with cyclooctadienyl chlorides of samarium, thulium, and lutetium, it affords species 89 [96JOM(507)287]. The N-coordinated samarium(II) calix-pyrrole complex is known [99AG(E)1432]. 

H NMR spectroscopy studies of iron(IIl) a-alkyl and o-aryl porphyrins have been very important in elucidating spin states. Alkyl and most aryl complexes with simple porphyrin ligands (OEP, TPP, or TTP) are low spin, S — I /2 species. NMR spectra for the tetraarylporphyrin derivatives show upheld resonances for the porphyrin pyrrole protons (ca. — 18 to —35 ppm), and alternating upfield and downfield hyperfine shifts for the axial alkyl or aryl resonances. For -alkyl complexes, the a-protons show dramatic downfield shifts (to ca. 600 ppm), upfield shifts for the /3-protons (—25 to — 160 ppm) and downfield shifts for the y-protons (12 ppm). The cr-protons of alkyliron porphyrins are not usually detected as a result of their large downfield shift and broad resonance. These protons were first detected by deuterium NMR in the dcuterated complexes Fe(TPP)CD3 (532 ppm) and Fe(TPP)CD2CDi (562, -117 ppm). ... 

Silver(I) complexes with macrocyclic nitrogen ligands are also very numerous. Mono- or homodi-nuclear silver-containing molecular clefts can be synthesized from the cyclocondensation of functionalized alkanediamines or triamines with 2,6-diacetylpyridine, pyridine-2,6-dicarbalde-hyde, thiophene-2,5-dicarbaldehyde, furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde, or pyrrole-2,5-dicarbaldehyde in the presence of silver(I).486 97 The clefts are derived from bibracchial tetraimine Schiff base macrocycles and have been used, via transmetallation reactions, to complex other metal centers. The incorporation of a range of functionalized triamines has provided the conformational flexibility to vary the homodinuclear intermetallic separation from ca. 3 A to an excess of 6 A, and also to incorporate anions as intermetallic spacers. Some examples of the silver(I) complexes obtained are shown in Figure 5. 

A porphyrin compound with a 2,9-dimethyl- 1,10-phenanthroline functionality fused at the beta-pyrrole positions is a phthalocyanine analog, and formed a complex with zinc in the cavity and a further zinc binding to the phenanthroline group. The absorption and emission spectra of the compound with and without the external zinc demonstrated the strong effects of the second metal binding on the porphyrin 7r-system.840... 

Poor stirring during formylation of 2,5-dimethylpyrrole with the preformed complex of dimethylformamide with phosphoryl chloride caused eruption of the flask contents. Reaction of the complex with a local excess of the pyrrole may have been involved. 

Tertiary A-allylthioamides have been converted into thioamidium salts by the formation of complexes with Lewis acid. Further treatment with lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) affords the corresponding 1,2-disubstituted pyrroles (Scheme 25).52...
