In this paper, the crystal-field energy levels, the EPR g factors g//, g(perpendicular) of Yb3+ and hyperfine structure constants A//, A(perpendicular) of 171Yb3+ and 173Yb3+ isotopes in CsCdBr3 crystal are calculated from the crystal-field theory. The calculated results (seven energy levels and six EPR parameters) are in reasonable agreement with the observed values. In the calculation, we find that Yb3+ ion does not occupy the exact Cd2+ site, but is shifted from the center of bromine octahedron by a distance (Delta)Z approximately 0.184 angstroms along C3 axis. The results are discussed.
A general strategy for the synthesis of twenty naturally occurring bastadins (all but bastadin 3) is presented. A key retrosynthetic disconnection of the two amide bonds, common in all target molecules, bisects the macrocyclic core into two diaryl ether fragments, an alpha,omega-diamine (western part) and an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid (eastern part). Efficient preparation of the synthetically challenging o-mono or dibromo-substituted diaryl ether linkages was achieved employing the diaryl iodonium salt method. Regarding the western part, variations of the aliphatic chain were more efficiently secured by the preparation of two different alpha,omega-aminonitrile moieties. Cobalt boride mediated reduction of the nitrile functionality established the required diamines and, at the same time, provided the necessary variation of the aromatic-ring bromination pattern. Regarding the eastern part, two different dicarboxyl precursors had to be prepared in order to accommodate bromination-pattern variations. Coupling and subsequent macrolactamization of different combinations of these key intermediates may lead at will to any member of this family of marine natural products. Four bastaranes (bastadins 5, 10, 12 and 16) and two isobastaranes (bastadins 20 and 21) were synthesized as a demonstration of the flexibility and efficiency of the approach presented.
Coordination of sigma-aryl carbanions by chloroiron(II) 5,20-ditolyl-10,15-diphenyl-21-oxaporphyrin (ODTDPP)Fe(II)Cl has been followed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Addition of pentafluorophenyl Grignard reagent (C(6)F(5))MgBr to the toluene solution of (ODTDPP)Fe(II)Cl in the absence of dioxygen at 205 K resulted in the formation of the high-spin (ODTDPP)Fe(II)(C(6)F(5)). The titration of (ODTDPP)Fe(II)Cl with a solution of (C(6)H(5))MgBr carried at 205 K yields a rare six-coordinate species which binds two sigma-aryl ligands [(ODTDPP)Fe(II)(C(6)H(5))(2)](-). Warming of the [(ODTDPP)Fe(II)(C(6)H(5))(2)](-) solution above 270 K results in the decomposition to mono-sigma-phenyliron species (ODTDPP)Fe(II)(C(6)H(5)). Controlled oxidation of [(ODTDPP)Fe(II)(C(6)H(5))(2)](-) with Br(2) affords (ODTDPP)Fe(III)(C(6)H(5))Br, which demonstrates a typical (1)H NMR pattern of low-spin sigma-aryl iron(III) porphyrin. The considered oxidation mechanism involves the (ODTDPP)Fe(III)(C(6)H(5))(2) species, which is readily reduced to the iron(I) 21-oxaporphyrin, followed by oxidation with Br(2) and replacement of one bromide anion by aryl substituent. The (1)H NMR spectra of paramagnetic iron complexes have been examined in detail. Functional group assignments have been made with the use of selective deuteration. The peculiar (1)H NMR spectral features of [(ODTDPP)Fe(II)(p-CH(3)C(6)H(4))(2)](-) (sigma-p-tolyl: ortho, 30.8; meta, 53.6; para-CH(3), 42.1; furan: -16.0; beta-H pyrrole: -27.5, -34.3, -41.8 ppm, at 205 K) are without a parallel to any iron(II) porphyrin or heteroporphyrin and indicate a profound alteration of the electronic structure of iron(II) porphyrin upon the coordination of two sigma-aryls.
