The synthesis and X-ray structure analysis of a new manganese(III) complex [MnL1(H2O)2]OTf displaying structural analogies with metalloporphyrins are described. This compound is characterized by very short Mn–Nbond distances (1.93 Å) and a nearly planar structure. Its ability to catalyze cyclohexene epoxidation in the presence of MCPBA has also been evaluated.

Complexes with purely pyridine-based macrocycles are rarely studied in photo(electro)catalysis. We synthesized and investigated macrocycles, in which two 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) units are linked twice by two cyano-methylene groups, to yield the basic tetradentate, bipyridine based ligand framework (pyr). The protons in the bridges were substituted to obtain derivatives with one (pyr-alk) or two (pyr-alk2)
具有纯吡啶基大环的配合物很少在光(电)催化中研究。我们合成并研究了大环,其中两个2,2'-联吡啶(bpy)单元通过两个氰基亚甲基连接两次,以产生基本的基于四齿,联吡啶的配体骨架(pyr)。桥中的质子被取代以获得分别具有一个(pyr-alk)或两个(pyr-alk 2)烷基链的衍生物。我们介绍了单戊基化和顺式-二丁基化配体的晶体结构。相应的Co II配合物[Co II(OH 2)2(pyr)],[Co II Br(HOMe)(pyr-bu)],[Co II Br 2(制备了顺式-pyr-bu 2)和[Co II Br 2(反式-pyr-bu 2)],阐明了它们的理化性质并确定了晶体结构。X射线分析显示后三个复合物扭曲了八面体配位和相当平坦的Co II(pyr)}大环骨架。在[CO轴向溴化物II溴(HOME)(PYR-BU)],[CO II溴2(顺-Pyr-BU 2)]和[CO II溴2(反式-Pyr-BU
Highly Efficient Separation of Lithium Chloride from Seawater
A complexing reagent composed of two bipyridine moieties enabled the efficient separation of lithium chloride through liquid membrane from seawater, in which 0.005% lithium chloride is contained (more than 99% metal chlorides are NaCl, KCl, MgCl2, and CaCl2). That is, two separations by our liquid membrane changed the molar ratio of LiCl from 0.005% to 80%. The striking characteristic of this compound is that the lithium ion is separated efficiently from alkali and alkaline earth metal ions without the lipophilic anion. Thus this new membrane system contructed by us offers a low-energy, low-cost, and environmentally friendly method to enable the routine use of lithium chloride separation from seawater.
The unique properties observed for the unsymmetrical macrocyclic compounds with the highly distorted structure
A new class of aza-macrocycles with the highly distorted structure was found to exhibit unique properties. These macrocycles react with various lithium salts to form lithium complexes and their lithium complexation reactions depend on a substituent on the macrocyclic ring; slower rates and larger equilibrium constants were observed for the macrocycle with a bulkier substituent. The irradiation of these macrocycles by UV light was found to lead to the isomerization, and the photoisomerization rate of macrocycle with the bulky substituent was much faster. The highly distorted structure of these macrocycles makes it much easier to change the conformation of macrocyclic skeleton and these macrocycles have a variety of conformations. The factors to govern this conformational change were therefore explored. The solvent effect was examined by H-1 NMR spectroscopy, because these macrocycles have a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond in the ring. As a result, the solvent was found to have a big effect on the H-1 NMR spectra of macrocycles that could be explained in terms of the conformational change of macrocycle. This finding suggests the solvent to be an important way of controlling the conformation. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
