Eight-coordinate fluoride in a silicate double-four-ring.

ABSTRACT: Fluoride, nature's smallest anion, is capable of covalently coordinating to eight silicon atoms. The setting is a simple and common motif in zeolite chemistry: the box-shaped silicate double-four-ring (D4R). Fluoride seeks its center. It is the strain of box deformation that keeps fluoride in the middle of the box, and freezes what would be a transition state in its absence. Hypervalent bonding ensues. Fluoride's compactness works to its advantage in stabilizing the cage; chloride, bromide, and iodide do not bring about stabilization due to greater steric repulsion with the box frame. The combination of strain and hypervalent bonding, and the way they work in concert to yield this unusual case of multiple hypervalence, has potential for extension to a broader range of solid-state compounds.

New Insight into Mixing Fluoride and Chloride in Bioactive Silicate Glasses.

Project description:Adding fluoride into bioactive glasses leads to fluorapatite formation and a decrease in glass transition temperature. Recently, chloride has been introduced into glasses as an alternative to fluoride. The presence of the large chloride ion lowers glass crystallisation tendency and increases glass molar volume, which effectively facilitates glass degradation and bone-bonding apatite-like layer formation. However, there is no information regarding the effect of mixing fluoride and chloride on the glass structure and properties. This study aims to synthesize mixed fluoride and chloride containing bioactive glasses; investigate the structural role of fluoride and chloride and their effects on glass properties. The chloride content measurements reveal that 77-90% of chloride was retained in these Q2 type glasses. Glass transition temperature reduced markedly with an increase in CaX2 (X = F + Cl) content, while the glass molar volume increased. 29Si MAS-NMR results show that the incorporation of mixed fluoride and chloride did not cause significant change in the polymerization of the silicate network and no detectable concentration of Si-F/Cl bands were present. This agrees with 19F NMR spectra showing that F existed as F-Ca(n) species.

Three-coordinate and four-coordinate cobalt hydride complexes that react with dinitrogen.

Project description:We report the formation and N(2) reactivity of novel cobalt hydride complexes supported by bulky beta-diketiminate ligands (L). Addition of KHBEt(3) to LCoCl gives [LCo(mu-H)](2) (1) or K(2)[LCoH](2) (2), depending on the amount of borohydride used. Compound 2 is the first example of a crystallographically characterized hydride complex in which a transition metal is three-coordinate. Both 1 and 2 react with N(2) at room temperature to give dinuclear N(2) complexes with loss of H(2).

How an Eight-Membered Ring Alters the Rhodamine Chromophore.

Project description:Readily available phenylene-1,3-diamines can be converted into unprecedented analogues of rhodamine and malachite green possessing a central eight-membered ring in three steps. The overall process couples a cyanine chromophore with a urea bridge giving rise to new dyes possessing distinct spectral characteristics: absorption of orange light combined with a weak emission of red light both in solution and in the crystalline state. Their photophysics is governed by the twist of lateral phenyl rings and intramolecular and intermolecular CT transitions.

Persistent four-coordinate iron-centered radical stabilized by ?-donation.

Project description:Dinuclear iron carbonyl complex 2, which contains an elongated unsupported Fe-Fe bond, was synthesized by the reaction between Fe2(CO)9 and phosphinyl radical 1. Thermal Fe-Fe bond homolysis led to the generation of a four-coordinate carbonyl-based iron-centered radical, 3, which is stabilized by ?-donation. Complex 3 exhibited high reactivity toward organic radicals to form diamagnetic five-coordinate Fe(ii) complexes.

Local Distortions in a Prototypical Zeolite Framework Containing Double Four-Ring Cages: The Role of Framework Composition and Organic Guests*.

Project description:Cube-like double four-ring (d4r) cages are among the most frequent building units of zeolites and zeotypes. In materials synthesised in fluoride-containing media, the fluoride anions are preferentially incorporated in these cages. In order to study the impact of framework composition and organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) on the possible occurrence of local distortions of fluoride-containing d4r cages, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and DFT-based molecular dynamics simulations were performed for AST-type zeotypes, considering four different compositions (SiO2 , GeO2 , AlPO4 , GaPO4 ) and two different OSDA cations (tetramethylammonium [TMA] and quinuclidinium [QNU]). All systems except SiO2 -AST show significant deformations, with a pyritohedron-like distortion of the d4r cages occurring in GeO2 - and GaPO4 -AST, and a displacement of the fluoride anions towards one of the corners of the cage in AlPO4 - and GaPO4 -AST. While the distortions occur at random in TMA-containing zeotypes, they exhibit a preferential orientation in systems that incorporate QNU cations. In addition to providing detailed understanding of the local structure of a complex host-guest system on the picosecond timescale, this work indicates the possibility to stabilise ordered distortions through a judicious choice of the OSDA, which might enable a tuning of the material's properties.

Crystal structures of a double-barrelled fluoride ion channel.

Project description:To contend with hazards posed by environmental fluoride, microorganisms export this anion through F(-)-specific ion channels of the Fluc family. Since the recent discovery of Fluc channels, numerous idiosyncratic features of these proteins have been unearthed, including strong selectivity for F(-) over Cl(-) and dual-topology dimeric assembly. To understand the chemical basis for F(-) permeation and how the antiparallel subunits convene to form a F(-)-selective pore, here we solve the crystal structures of two bacterial Fluc homologues in complex with three different monobody inhibitors, with and without F(-) present, to a maximum resolution of 2.1 Å. The structures reveal a surprising 'double-barrelled' channel architecture in which two F(-) ion pathways span the membrane, and the dual-topology arrangement includes a centrally coordinated cation, most likely Na(+). F(-) selectivity is proposed to arise from the very narrow pores and an unusual anion coordination that exploits the quadrupolar edges of conserved phenylalanine rings.

Four-coordinate iron(II) porphyrinates: electronic configuration change by intermolecular interaction.

Project description:The syntheses and structures of three four-coordinate iron(II) porphyrinates are reported. The three derivatives are tetraarylporphyrin species, where the aryl is either phenyl, p-methylphenyl, or p-methoxyphenyl. One of these derivatives, that of tetraphenylporphyrin, Fe(TPP), is a new crystalline phase that is distinct from the earlier reported phase (Collman, J. P.; et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1975, 97, 2676). This new phase of Fe(TPP) has a very saddled porphyrin core; the prior phase was ruffled. The iron atom has close interactions (approximately 3.10 A) with two pyrrole Cb-Cb bonds above and below the porphyrin plane. Mössbauer spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements, different for the two phases, provide strong evidence that the two phases of Fe(TPP) have distinct electronic structures that originate from intermolecular interactions.
