- Pb(II)-promoted amide cleavage: Mechanistic comparison to a Zn(II) analogue
-
Two new Pb(II) complexes of the amide-appended nitrogen/sulfur epppa (N-((2-ethylthio)ethyl)-N-((6-pivaloylamido-2-pyridyl)methyl)-N-((2-pyridyl) methyl)amine) chelate ligand, [(epppa)Pb(NO3)2] (4-NO 3) and [(epppa)Pb(ClO4)2] (4-ClO4), were prepared and characterized. In the solid state, 4-NO3 exhibits κ5-epppa chelate ligand coordination as well as the coordination of two bidentate nitrate ions. In acetonitrile, 4-NO3 is a 1:1 electrolyte with a coordinated NO3-, whereas 4-ClO4 is a 1:2 electrolyte. Treatment of 4-ClO4 with 1 equiv Me4NOH·5H2O in CH3CN:CH 3OH (3:5) results in amide methanolysis in a reaction that is akin to that previously reported for the Zn(II) analogue [(epppa)Zn](ClO 4)2 (3-ClO4). 1H NMR kinetic studies of the amide methanolysis reactions of 4-ClO4 and 3-ClO4 as a function of temperature revealed free energies of activation of 21.3 and 24.5 kcal/mol, respectively. The amide methanolysis reactions of 4-ClO 4 and 3-ClO4 differ in terms of the effect of the concentration of methanol (saturation kinetics for 4-ClO4; second-order behavior for 3-ClO4), the observation of a small solvent kinetic isotope effect (SKIE) only for the reaction of the Zn(II)-containing 3-ClO4, and the properties of an initial intermediate isolated from each reaction upon treatment with Me4NOH·5H2O. These experimental results, combined with computational studies of the amide methanolysis reaction pathways of 4-ClO4 and 3-ClO4, indicate that the Zn(II)-containing 3-ClO4 initially undergoes amide deprotonation upon treatment with Me4NOH·5H2O. Subsequent amide protonation from coordinated methanol yields a structure containing a coordinated neutral amide and methoxide anion from which amide cleavage can then proceed. The rate-determining step in this pathway is either amide protonation or protonation of the leaving group. The Pb(II)-containing 4-ClO4 instead directly forms a neutral amide-containing, epppa-ligated Pb(II)-OH/Pb(II)-OCH3 equilibrium mixture upon treatment with Me4NOH·5H2O in methanol. The rate-determining step in the amide methanolysis pathway of 4-ClO4 is nucleophilic attack of the Pb(II)-OCH3 moiety on the coordinated amide. Overall, it is the larger size of the Pb(II) center and the availability of coordination positions that enable direct formation of a Pb(II)-OH/Pb(II)- OCH3 mixture versus the initial amide deprotonation identified in the reaction of the Zn(II)-containing 3-ClO4.

- Conductivity and dissociation constants of quaternary ammonium perchlorates and picrates in 4-methyl-pentan-2-one
-
The dissociation of 14 ionophores, namely, seven symmetrical (C1 to C7) and five asymmetrical quaternary ammonium perchlorates and two tetraalkylammonium picrates (all with linear hydrocarbon chains), in 4-methyl-pentan-2-one was studied at 25 °C (εr = 12.92) using the conductance method. The values of the association constants of the quaternary ammonium cation, Ct+, with ClO4- vary from (7.4 ± 0.3) ·103 L·mol-1 for tetramethylammonium to (2.4 ± 0.1) ·103 L·mol-1 for tetrahexyl- and tetraheptylammonium; a distinct dependence on the size of the Ct+, especially for symmetrical cations, is evident. The values of the limiting molar conductivities Λ0/S·mol-1·cm2 vary from 122.8 to 90.0 (± 0.7). The plot of Λ0 versus the reciprocal cube root of the total van der Waals volume of the cations, V Ct-1/3, is close to linear up to tetrapentylammonium and hexadecyltrimethylammonium, while for larger cations (with 21 to 28 carbon atoms) the Λ0 values stay practically constant. At the same time, symmetrical and asymmetrical cations with the same VCt values possess equal mobility.

- Ionization and Dissociation Equilibria in Liquid SO2. 12. The Behavior of Tetrahedral Ions
-
Electrolytic conductance of their solutions in liquid sulfur dioxide over a wide range of concentrations was measured for the 21 ionophores, Me4NCl, MeΝClO4, PhMe3NBr, PhMe3NCl, PhMe3NI, Et4NI, Pr4NCl, Pr4NBr, Pr4NI, Bu4NBr, Bu4NI, Bu4NPc, (i-Am)4NBr, (i-Am)4NI, (i-Am)4NB(i-Am)4, (i-Am)3NHBr, Hex4NI, Ph4AsCl, Ph4AsI, Ph4AsPc, and Ph4PPc, at 273.15 K and other temperatures.Limiting equivalent conductances and dissociation constants were determined for these solutes by Shedlovsky's procedure.Utilizing the data of this and other investigations, we calculated thermodynamic quantities for the dissociation equilibria of many of the solutes.Values of Bjerrum's contact distance parameter, a, were calculated from the equilibrium data and compared to sums of estimated ionic radii.Limiting ionic conductances were evaluated by a Fuoss-Coplan division of the limiting equivalent conductance of (i-Am)4NB(i-Am)4.Stokes radii were calculated for the ions employed.The results of the measurements are interpreted in terms of ion-ion and ion-solvent interactions.
