    Notes: We have used a cellulose acetate, hollow-fibre (HF) ultrafiltration membrane to refold bovine carbonic anhydrase, loaded into the lumen space, by removing the denaturant through controlled dialysis via the shell side space. When challenged with GdnHCl-denatured carbonic anhydrase, 70% of the loaded protein reptated through the membrane into the circulating dialysis buffer. Reptation occurred because the protein, in its fully unfolded configuration, was able to pass through the pores. The loss of carbonic anhydrase through the membrane was controlled by the dialysis conditions. Dialysis against 0.05 M Tris-HCl for 30 min reduced the denaturant around the protein to a concentration that allowed the return of secondary structure, increasing the hydrodynamic radius, thus preventing protein transmission. Under these conditions a maximum of 42% of carbonic anhydrase was recovered (from a starting concentration of 5 mg/mL) with 94% activity. This is an improvement over refolding carbonic anhydrase by simple batch dilution, which gave a maximum reactivation of 85% with 35% soluble protein yield. The batch refolding of carbonic anhydrase is very sensitive to temperature; however, during HF refolding between 0 and 25°C the temperature sensitivity was considerably reduced. In order to reduce the convection forces that give rise to aggregation and promote refolding the dialyzate was slowly heated from 4 to 25°C. This slow, temperature-controlled refolding gave an improved soluble protein recovery of 55% with a reactivation yield of 90%. The effect of a number of additives on the refolding system performance were tested: the presence of PEG improved both the protein recovery and the recovered activity from the membrane, while the detergents Tween 20 and IGEPAL CA-630 increased only the refolding yield. ©1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Maintaining a specific molecular conformation is essential for the proper functioning of an enzyme. A substantial loss of catalytic activity can occur from the displacement caused by even a single amino acid substitution. Activity may also be lost as an enzyme undergoes a conformational change during adsorption. In this study, we investigated the effect of thermostability on the activities of three T4 lysozyme variants after adsorption to 9 nm colloidal silica particles. Less-stable T4 lysozyme variants lost more activity after adsorption than did more stable variants, apparently because they experienced more extensive structural alteration. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In this work, an integrated modeling approach based on a metabolic signal flow diagram and cellular energetics was used to model the metabolic pathway analysis for the cultivation of yeast on glucose. This approach enables us to make a clear analysis of the flow direction of the carbon fluxes in the metabolic pathways as well as of the degree of activation of a particular pathway for the synthesis of biomaterials for cell growth. The analyses demonstrate that the main metabolic pathways of Saccharomyces cerevisiae change significantly during batch culture. Carbon flow direction is toward glycolysis to satisfy the increase of requirement for precursors and energy. The enzymatic activation of TCA cycle seems to always be at normal level, which may result in the overflow of ethanol due to its limited capacity. The advantage of this approach is that it adopts both virtues of the metabolic signal flow diagram and the simple network analysis method, focusing on the investigation of the flow directions of carbon fluxes and the degree of activation of a particular pathway or reaction loop. All of the variables used in the model equations were determined on-line; the information obtained from the calculated metabolic coefficients may result in a better understanding of cell physiology and help to evaluate the state of the cell culture process. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Grouping of reactions around key metabolite branch points can facilitate the study of metabolic control of complex metabolic networks. This top-down Metabolic Control Analysis is exemplified through the introduction of group (flux, as well as concentration) control coefficients whose magnitudes provide a measure of the relative impact of each reaction group on the overall network flux, as well as on the overall network stability, following enzymatic amplification. In this article, we demonstrate the application of previously developed theory to the determination of group flux control coefficients. Experimental data for the changes in metabolic fluxes obtained in response to the introduction of six different environmental perturbations are used to determine the group flux control coefficients for three reaction groups formed around the phosphoenolpyruvate/pyruvate branch point. The consistency of the obtained group flux control coefficient estimates is systematically analyzed to ensure that all necessary conditions are satisfied. The magnitudes of the determined control coefficients suggest that the control of lysine production flux in Corynebacterium glutamicum cells at a growth base state resides within the lysine biosynthetic pathway that begins with the PEP/PYR carboxylation anaplorotic pathway. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Many attempts to engineer cellular metabolism have failed due to the complexity of cellular functions. Mathematical and computational methods are needed that can organize the available experimental information, and provide insight and guidance for successful metabolic engineering. Two such methods are reviewed here. Both methods employ a (log)linear kinetic model of metabolism that is constructed based on enzyme kinetics characteristics. The first method allows the description of the dynamic responses of metabolic systems subject to spatiotemporal variations in their parameters. The second method considers the product-oriented, constrained optimization of metabolic reaction networks using mixed-integer linear programming methods. The optimization framework is used in order to identify the combinations of the metabolic characteristics of the glycolytic enzymes from yeast and bacteria that will maximize ethanol production. The methods are also applied to the design of microbial ethanol production metabolism. The results of the calculations are in qualitative agreement with experimental data presented here. Experiments and calculations suggest that, in resting Escherichia coli cells, ethanol production and glucose uptake rates can be increased by 30% and 20%, respectively, by overexpression of a deregulated pyruvate kinase, while increase in phosphofructokinase expression levels has no effect on ethanol production and glucose uptake rates. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Catabolite repression is a universal phenomenon, found in virtually all living organisms. These organisms range from the simplest bacteria to higher fungi, plants, and animals. A mechanism involving cyclic AMP and its receptor protein (CRP) in Escherichia coli was established years ago, and this mechanism has been assumed by many to serve as the prototype for catabolite repression in all organisms. However, recent studies have shown that this mechanism is restricted to enteric bacteria and their close relatives. Cyclic AMP-independent mechanisms of catabolite repression occur in other bacteria, yeast, plants, and even E. coli. In fact, single-celled organisms such as E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibit multiple mechanisms of catabolite repression, and most of these are cyclic AMP-independent. The mechanistic features of the best of such characterized processes are briefly reviewed, and references are provided that will allow the reader to delve more deeply into these subjects. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ten microbial genomes have been fully sequenced to date, and the sequencing of many more genomes is expected to be completed before the end of the century. The assignment of function to open reading frames (ORFs) is progressing, and for some genomes over 70% of functional assignments have been made. The majority of the assigned ORFs relate to metabolic functions. Thus, the complete genetic and biochemical functions of a number of microbial cells may be soon available. From a metabolic engineering standpoint, these developments open a new realm of possibilities. Metabolic analysis and engineering strategies can now be built on a sound genomic basis. An important question that now arises; how should these tasks be approached? Flux-balance analysis (FBA) has the potential to play an important role. It is based on the fundamental principle of mass conservation. It requires only the stoichiometric matrix, the metabolic demands, and some strain specific parameters. Importantly, no enzymatic kinetic data is required. In this article, we show how the genomically defined microbial metabolic genotypes can be analyzed by FBA. Fundamental concepts of metabolic genotype, metabolic phenotype, metabolic redundancy and robustness are defined and examples of their use given. We discuss the advantage of this approach, and how FBA is expected to find uses in the near future. FBA is likely to become an important analysis tool for genomically based approaches to metabolic engineering, strain design, and development. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In this article, we review some of the expression systems that are available for Metabolic Control Analysis and Metabolic Engineering, and examine their advantages and disadvantages in different contexts. In a recent approach, artificial promoters for modulating gene expression in micro-organisms were constructed using synthetic degenerated oligonucleotides. From this work, a promoter library was obtained for Lactococcus lactis, containing numerous individual promoters and covering a wide range of promoter activities. Importantly, the range of promoter activities was covered in small steps of activity change. Promoter libraries generated by this approach allow for optimization of gene expression and for experimental control analysis in a wide range of biological systems by choosing from the promoter library promoters giving, e.g., 25%, 50%, 200%, and 400% of the normal expression level of the gene in question. If the relevant variable (e.g., the flux or yield) is then measured with each of these constructs, then one can calculate the control coefficient and determine the optimal expression level. One advantage of the method is that the construct which is found to have the optimal expression level is then, in principle, ready for use in the industrial fermentation process; another advantage is that the system can be used to optimize the expression of different enzymes within the same cell. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Metabolism is the conversion of available energy sources to those energy forms required for sustaining and propagating living organisms; this is simply biological energy conversion. Proteins are the machines of metabolism; they are the engines of motility and the other machines that interconvert energy forms not involving motion. Accordingly, metabolic engineering becomes the use of natural protein-based machines for the good of society. In addition, metabolic engineering can utilize the principles, whereby proteins function, to design new protein-based machines to fulfill roles for society that proteins have never been called upon throughout evolution to fulfill.This article presents arguments for a universal mechanism whereby proteins perform their diverse energy conversions; it begins with background information, and then asserts a set of five axioms for protein folding, assembly, and function and for protein engineering. The key process is the hydrophobic folding and assembly transition exhibited by properly balanced amphiphilic protein sequences. The fundamental molecular process is the competition for hydration between hydrophobic and polar, e.g., charged, residues. This competition determines Tt, the onset temperature for the hydrophobic folding and assembly transition, Nhh, the numbers of waters of hydrophobic hydration, and the pKa of ionizable functions.Reported acid-base titrations and pH dependence of microwave dielectric relaxation data simultaneously demonstrate the interdependence of Tt, Nhh and the pKa using a series of microbially prepared protein-based poly(30mers) with one glutamic acid residue per 30mer and with an increasing number of more hydrophobic phenylalanine residues replacing valine residues. Also, reduction of nicotinamides and flavins is shown to lower Tt, i.e., to increase hydrophobicity.Furthermore, the argument is presented, and related to an extended Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, wherein reduction of nicotinamides represents an increase in hydrophobicity and resulting hydrophobic-induced pKa shifts become the basis for understanding a primary energy conversion (proton transport) process of mitochondria. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The independent control of culture redox potential (CRP) by the regulated addition of a reducing agent, dithiothreitol (DTT) was demonstrated in aerated recombinant Escherichia coli fermentations. Moderate levels of DTT addition resulted in minimal changes to specific oxygen uptake, growth rate, and dissolved oxygen. Excessive levels of DTT addition were toxic to the cells resulting in cessation of growth. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) activity (nmoles/μg total protein min.) decreased in batch fermentation experiments with respect to increasing levels of DTT addition. To further investigate the mechanisms affecting CAT activity, experiments were performed to assay heat shock protein expression and specific CAT activity (nmoles/μg CAT min.). Expression of such molecular chaperones as GroEL and DnaK were found to increase after addition of DTT. Additionally, sigma factor 32 (σ32) and several proteases were seen to increase dramatically during addition of DTT. Specific CAT activity (nmoles/μg CAT min.) varied greatly as DTT was added, however, a minimum in activity was found at the highest level of DTT addition in E. coli strains RR1 [pBR329] and JM105 [pROEX-CAT]. In conjunction, cellular stress was found to reach a maximum at the same levels of DTT. Although DTT addition has the potential for directly affecting intracellular protein folding, the effects felt from the increased stress within the cell are likely the dominant effector. That the effects of DTT were measured within the cytoplasm of the cell suggests that the periplasmic redox potential was also altered. The changes in specific CAT activity, molecular chaperones, and other heat shock proteins, in the presence of minimal growth rate and oxygen uptake alterations, suggest that the ex vivo control of redox potential provides a new process for affecting the yield and conformation of heterologous proteins in aerated E. coli fermentations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Experimental measurements of effective diffusive permeabilities and effective diffusion coefficients in biofilms are reviewed. Effective diffusive permeabilities, the parameter appropriate to the analysis of reaction-diffusion interactions, depend on solute type and biofilm density. Three categories of solute physical chemistry with distinct diffusive properties were distinguished by the present analysis. In order of descending mean relative effective diffusive permeability (De/Daq) these were inorganic anions or cations (0.56), nonpolar solutes with molecular weights of 44 or less (0.43), and organic solutes of molecular weight greater than 44 (0.29). Effective diffusive permeabilities decrease sharply with increasing biomass volume fraction suggesting a serial resistance model of diffusion in biofilms as proposed by Hinson and Kocher (1996). A conceptual model of biofilm structure is proposed in which each cell is surrounded by a restricted permeability envelope. Effective diffusion coefficients, which are appropriate to the analysis of transient penetration of nonreactive solutes, are generally similar to effective diffusive permeabilities in biofilms of similar composition. In three studies that examine diffusion of very large molecular weight solutes ( 〉 5000) in biofilms, the average ratio of the relative effective diffusion coefficient of the large solute to the relative effective diffusion coefficient of either sucrose or fluorescein was 0.64, 0.61, and 0.36. It is proposed that large solutes are effectively excluded from microbial cells, that small solutes partition into and diffuse within cells, and that ionic solutes are excluded from cells but exhibit increased diffusive permeability (but decreased effective diffusion coefficients) due to sorption to the biofilm matrix. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In the previous study (part I), heat-denatured RNase A aggregation was shown to depend on the solution pH. Interestingly, at pH 3.0, the protein did not aggregate even when exposed to 75°C for 24 h. In this study, electrostatic repulsion was shown to be responsible for the absence of aggregates at that pH. While RNase A aggregation was prevented at the extremely acidic pH, this is not an environment conducive to maintaining protein function in general. Therefore, attempts were made to confer electrostatic repulsion near neutral pH. In this study, heat-denatured RNase A was mixed with charged polymers at pH 7.8 in an attempt to provide the protein with excess surface cations or anions. At 75°C, SDS and dextran sulfate were successful in preventing RNase A aggregation, whereas their cationic, nonionic, and zwitterionic analogs did not do so. We believe that the SO3- groups present in both additives transformed the protein into polyanionic species, and this may have provided a sufficient level of electrostatic repulsion at pH 7.8 and 75°C to prevent aggregation from proceeding. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Removal of mono-chlorobenzene (m-CB) vapor from airstreams was studied in a biotrickling filter (BTF) operating under counter-current flow of the air and liquid streams. Experiments were performed under various values of inlet m-CB concentration, air and/or liquid volumetric flow rates, and pH of the recirculating liquid. Conversion of m-CB was never below 70% and at low concentrations exceeded 90%. A maximum removal rate of about 60 gm-3-reactor h-1 was observed. Conversion of m-CB was found to increase as the values of liquid and air flow rate increase and decrease, respectively. The effects of pH and frequency of medium replenishment on BTF performance were also investigated. The process was successfully described with a detailed mathematical model, which accounts for mass transfer and kinetic effects based on m-CB and oxygen availability. Solution of the model equations yielded m-CB and oxygen concentration profiles in all three phases (airstream, liquid, biofilm). It is predicted that oxygen has a controling effect on the process at high inlet m-CB concentrations. From independent, suspended culture, experiments it was found that m-CB biodegradation follows Andrews inhibitory kinetics. The kinetic constants were found to remain practically unchanged after the culture was used in BTF experiments for 8 months. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 59:328-343, 1998.

    Notes: The effect of pH and temperature (θ) on the overall performance indicators (i.e., solute recovery, ρ, and Faraday, η, efficiencies; specific energy consumption, ε, solute, JS, and water, JW, fluxes) of batch electrodialytic recovery of citric acid from model solutions was assessed at different values of feed solute concentration (cSf) and electric current density (j). Regardless of the initial feed concentration used, ρ and JS were found to be independent of θ; η and JW exhibited a positive trend with respect to θ, while ε a negative one. At the maximum temperature tested (33°C), as the pH of the feed solution was varied from 3 to 7, ρ increased from 0.90 ± 0.08 to 0.97 ± 0.02, η grew from 0.09 ± 0.02 to 0.50 ± 0.01, JS practically doubled, ε reduced about 8 times, but JW increased from 3 to 4 times. So, the optimal conditions for this technique are to be determined by balancing the savings in the investment and maintenance costs against the energy costs. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The stability of α-chymotrypsin and δ-chymotrypsin was studied in reversed micelles of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane. α-Chymotrypsin is inactivated at the interface and at the water pool, while δ-chymotrypsin is inactivated only at the water pool. The mechanism of inactivation at the interface is related to the interaction of N-terminal group alanine 149 (absent in δ-chymotrypsin) with the negative interface. The dependence of enzyme activity on water content of these two enzymes in reversed micelles of AOT is also related with the interface interaction, since δ-chymotrypsin does not have a bell-shaped curve as observed for α-chymotrypsin. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The baculovirus/insect cell expression system has provided a vital tool to produce a high level of active proteins for many applications. We have developed a very high-density insect cell perfusion process with an ultrasonic filter as a cell retention device. The separation efficiency of the filter was studied under various operating conditions. A cell density of over 30 million cells/mL was achieved in a controlled perfusion bioreactor and cell viability remained greater than 90%. Sf9 cells from a high-density culture and a spinner culture were infected with two recombinant baculoviruses expressing genes for the production of human chitinase and monocyte-colony inhibition factor. The protein yield on a cell basis from infecting high-density Sf9 cells was the same as or higher than that from the spinner Sf9 culture. Virus production from the high-density culture was similar to that from the spinner culture. The results show that the ultrasonic filter did not affect insect cells' ability to support protein expression and virus production following infection with baculovirus. The potential applications of the high-density perfusion culture for large-scale protein expression from Sf9 cells are also highlighted. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Conductive paint electrode was used for marine biofouling on fishing nets by electrochemical disinfection. When a potential of 1.2 V vs. a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was applied to the conductive paint electrode, Vibrio alginolyticus cells attached on the electrode were completely killed. By applying a negative potential, the attached cells were removed from the surface of the electrode. Changes in pH and chlorine concentration were not observed at potentials in the range -0.6 ∼1.2 V vs. SCE. In a field experiment, accumulation of the bacterial cells and formation of biofilms on the electrode were prevented by application of an alternating potential, and 94% of attachment of the biofouling organisms was inhibited electrically on yarn used for fishing net coated with conductive paint. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Mass transfer limitations were studied in enzyme preparations of α-chymotrypsin made by deposition on different porous support materials such as controlled pore glasses, Celite, and polyamides of different particle sizes. It is the onset of mass transfer limitations that determines the position of the activity optimum with respect to enzyme loading on each support. The evidence of various experiments indicates that internal diffusional limitations are the important mechanism for the observed mass transfer limitations. External diffusion was not found to play an important role under the conditions used, and it was also found that when immobilizing multilayers of enzyme the buried enzyme molecules are active to a large extent. An extreme situation is observed on Celite at very high loadings. Under these conditions, this support is expected to have its pores completely filled with packed enzyme molecules, and then it is the diffusion within the enzyme layer that determines the observed rate. As the enzyme loading increases, the area of contact between the deposited enzyme layers and the liquid solution inside the pores diminishes, causing a decrease on the observed rate of an intrinsically fast reaction which apparently is incongruous with the presence of more enzyme in the system. This work shows that mass transfer limitations can be an important factor when working with immobilized enzymes in organic media, and its study should be carried out in order to avoid undesired reduced enzyme activities and specificities. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Pulsed electric discharge (PED) and bioremediation were combined to create a novel two-stage system which dechlorinates the halogenated pollutants, 2,4-dichlorophenol and perchloroethylene, with repetitive (0.1-1 kHz), short pulse (∼100 ns), low voltage (40-80 kV) discharges and then mineralizes the less chlorinated products with aerobic bacteria. A 6.1 mM aqueous dichlorophenol sample was cycled through the PED reactor (60 kV of applied pulsed voltage and 300 Hz) 6 times, resulting in the release of 55% of the initial dichlorophenol chloride ions (1 mM Cl- removed each cycle). The respective average specific efficiency is 0.4-0.6 keV/(Cl- molecule). Pseudomonas mendocina KR1, which grows in minimal medium supplemented with phenol but not with dichlorophenol, increased in cell density in all cultures supplemented with the PED-treated DCP samples and yielded a maximum of two-fold additional Cl- released compared to the PED-related alone. The number of PED-treatment cycles, voltage, and frequency were also varied, showing that both cell densities and overall dichlorophenol dechlorination were highly dependent upon the number of PED-treatment cycles, rather than the tested voltages and frequencies. Using this two-stage treatment system, PED released 31% of the initial chloride ions from dichlorophenol (after three cycles at 40-45 kV and 1.2 kHz) while P. mendocina KR1 in the second stage increased dechlorination to 90%. These results were corroborated by the 35% additional chloride release found with activated sludge cultures. Perchloroethylene (0.6 mM) was similarly treated in a first-stage PED reactor (80% chloride removal after four cycles) followed by biodegradation of the dechlorinated products with a recombinant toluene o-monooxygenase-expressing Pseudomonas fluorescens strain. Gas chromatographic analysis showed that the PED reactor created less-chlorinated byproducts (i.e., trichloroethylene) that were removed (74%) upon exposure to the recombinant bacterium. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Novel glycoproteins, inaccessible by other techniques, can be obtained by metabolic engineering of the oligosaccharide biosynthesis pathway. Furthermore, alteration of cell-surface oligosaccharides can change the properties of receptors involved in cell-cell adhesion. Sialyl Lewis X (sLex) is a cell-surface oligosaccharide determinant which is specifically expressed on granulocytes and monocytes and which interacts with selectins to influence leukocyte trafficking, thrombosis, inflammation, and cancer. Antisense technology targeting fucosyltransferase VI (Fuc-TVI), an enzyme necessary for the synthesis of the sLex in engineered Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, has reduced Fuc-TVI activity, sLex synthesis, and adhesion to endothelial cells. Antisense methodology to reduce targeted activity in oligosaccharide biosynthesis or other pathways is an important addition to CHO cell metabolic engineering capabilities. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Protein fouling can significantly alter both the flux and retention characteristics of ultrafiltration membranes. There has, however, been considerable controversy over the nature of this fouling layer. In this study, hydraulic permeability and dextran sieving data were obtained both before and after albumin adsorption and/or filtration using polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes. The dextran molecular weight distributions were analyzed by gel permeation chromatography to evaluate the sieving characteristics over a broad range of solute size. Protein fouling caused a significant reduction in the dextran sieving coefficients, with very different effects seen for the diffusive and convective contributions to dextran transport. The changes in dextran sieving coefficients and diffusive permeabilities were analyzed using a two-layer membrane model in which a distinct protein layer is assumed to form on the upstream surface of the membrane. The data suggest that the protein layer formed during filtration was more tightly packed than that formed by simple static adsorption. Hydrodynamic calculations indicated that the pore size of the protein layer remained relatively constant throughout the adsorption or filtration, but the thickness of this layer increased with increasing exposure time. These results provide important insights into the nature of protein fouling during ultrafiltration and its effects on membrane transport. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Protein partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems based on phase-forming polymers is strongly affected by the net charge of the protein, but a thermodynamic description of the charge effects has been hindered by conflicting results. Many of the difficulties could be because of problems in isolating electrochemical effects from other interactions of phase components.We explored charge effects on protein partitioning in poly(ethylene glycol)-dextran two-phase systems by using two series of genetically engineered charge modifications of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme produced in Escherichia coli. The two series, one in the form of charged-fusion tails and the other in the form of charge-change point mutations, provided matching net charges but very different polarity. Partition coefficients of both series were obtained and interfacial potential differences of the phase systems were measured. Multi-angle laser light scattering measurements were also performed to determine second virial coefficients. A semi-empirical model accounting for the roles of both charge and non-charge effects on protein partitioning behavior is proposed, and the results predicted from the model are compared to the results from the experiments. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effect of different ammonium concentrations and glucosamine on baby hamster kidney (BHK)-21 cell cultures grown in continuously perfused double membrane bioreactors was investigated with respect to the final carbohydrate structures of a secretory recombinant glycoprotein. The human interleukin-2 (IL-2) mutant glycoprotein variant IL-Mu6, which bears a novel N-glycosylation site (created by a single amino acid exchange of Gln100 to Asn), was produced under different defined protein-free culture conditions in the presence or absence of either glutamine, NH4Cl, or glucosamine. Recombinant glycoprotein products were purified and characterized by amino acid sequencing and carbohydrate structural analysis using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection, and methylation analysis. In the absence of glutamine, cells secreted glycoprotein forms with preponderantly biantennary, proximal fucosylated carbohydrate chains (85%) with a higher NeuAc content (58%). Under standard conditions in the presence of 7.5 mM glutamine, complex-type N-glycans were found to be mainly biantennary (68%) and triantennary structures (33%) with about 50% containing proximal α1-6-linked fucose; 37% of the antenna were found to be substituted with terminal α2-3-linked N-acetylneuraminic acid. In the presence of 15 mM exogenously added NH4Cl, a significant and reproducible increase in tri- and tetraantennary oligosaccharides (45% of total) was detected in the secretion product. In glutamin-free cultures supplemented with glucosamine, an intermediate amount of high antennary glycans was detected. The increase in complexity of N-linked oligosaccharides is considered to be brought about by the increased levels of intracellular uridine diphosphate-GlcNAc/GalNAc. These nucleotide sugar pools were found to be significantly elevated in the presence of high NH3/NH4+ and glucosamine concentrations. ©1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A mathematical model describing intracellular polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis in Alcaligenes eutrophus has been constructed. The model allows investigation of issues such as the existence of rate-limiting enzymatic steps, possible regulatory mechanisms in PHB synthesis, and the effects different types of rate expressions have on model behavior. Simulations with the model indicate that activities of all PHB pathway enzymes influence overall PHB flux and that no single enzymatic step can easily be identified as rate limiting. Simulations also support regulatory roles for both thiolase and reductase, mediated through AcCoA/CoASH and NADPH/NADP+ ratios, respectively. To make the model more realistic, complex rate expressions for enzyme-catalyzed reactions were used which reflect both the reversibility of the reactions and the reaction mechanisms. Use of the complex kinetic expressions dramatically changed the behavior of the system compared to a simple model containing only Michaelis-Menten kinetic expressions; the more complicated model displayed different responses to changes in enzyme activities as well as inhibition of flux by the reaction products CoASH and NADP+. These effects can be attributed to reversible rate expressions, which allow prediction of reaction rates under conditions both near and far from equilibrium. ©1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The synthesis and secretion of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) are investigated in fed-batch cultures at high cell concentration of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and some important characteristics of the secreted rhG-CSF are demonstrated. Transcription of the recombinant gene is regulated by a GAL1-10 upstream activating sequence (UASG), and the rhG-CSF is expressed in a hybrid fusion protein consisting of signal sequence of Kluyveromyces lactis killer toxin and N-terminal 24 amino acids of human interleukin 1β. The intracellular KEX2 cleavage leads to excretion of mature rhG-CSF into extracellular culture broth, and the cleavage process seems to be highly efficient. In spite of relatively low copy number the plasmid propagation is stably maintained even at nonselective culture conditions. The rhG-CSF synthesis does not depend on galactose level, whereas the production of extracellular rhG-CSF was significantly enhanced by increasing the inducer concentration above a certain level and also by supplementing the nonionic surfactant to the culture medium, which is notably due to the enhanced secretion efficiency. Various immunoblotting analyses demonstrate that none of the rhG-CSF is accumulated in the cell wall fraction and that a significant amount of intracellular rhG-CSF antibody-specific immunoreactive proteins is located in the ER. A core N-glycosylation at fused IL-1β fragment is likely to play a critical role in directing the high-level secretion of rhG-CSF, and the O-glycosylation of secreted rhG-CSF seems nearly negligible. Also the extracellular rhG-CSF is observed to exist as various multimers, and the nature of molecular interaction is evidently not the covalent disulfide bridges. The CD spectra of purified rhG-CSF and Escherichia coli-derived standard show that the conformations of both are similar and are almost identical to that reported for natural hG-CSF. ©1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: This article reports that a reversed micellar solution is useful for refolding proteins directly from a solid source. The solubilization of denatured RNase A, which had been prepared by reprecipitation from the denaturant protein solution, into reversed micelles formulated with sodium di-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) has been investigated by a solid-liquid extraction system. This method is an alternative to the ordinary protein extraction in reversed micelles based on the liquid-liquid extraction. The solid-liquid extraction method was found to facilitate the solubilization of denatured proteins more efficiently in the reversed micellar media than the ordinary phase transfer method of liquid extraction. The refolding of denatured RNase A entrapped in reversed micelles was attained by adding a redox reagent (reduced and oxidized glutathion). Enzymatic activity of RNase A was gradually recovered with time in the reversed micelles. The denatured RNase A was completely refolded within 30 h. In addition, the efficiency of protein refolding was enhanced when reversed micelles were applied to denatured RNase A containing a higher protein concentration that, in the case of aqueous media, would lead to protein aggregation. The solid-liquid extraction technique using reversed micelles affords better scale-up advantages in the direct refolding process of insoluble protein aggregates. ©1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The objective of this study was to characterize the dynamic adaptation of the oxidative capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to an increase in the glucose supply rate and its implications for the control of a continuous culture designed to produce biomass without allowing glucose to be diverted into the reductive metabolism. Continuous cultures subjected to a sudden shift-up in the dilution rate showed that the glucose uptake rate increased immediately to the new feeding rate but that the oxygen consumption could not follow fast enough to ensure a completely oxidative metabolism. Thus, part of the glucose assimilated was degraded by the reductive metabolism, resulting in a temporary decrease of biomass concentration, even if the final dilution rate was below Dcrit. The dynamic increase of the specific oxygen consumption rate, qO2, was characterized by an initial immediate jump followed by a first-order increase to the maximum value. It could be modeled using three parameters denoted qjumpO2, qmaxO2, and a time constant τ. The values for the first two of the parameters varied considerably from one shift to another, even when they were performed under identical conditions. On the basis of this model, a time-dependent feed flow rate function was derived that should permit an increase in the dilution rate from one value to another without provoking the appearance of reductive metabolism. The idea was to increase the glucose supply in parallel with the dynamic increase of the oxidative capacity of the culture, so that all of the assimilated glucose could always be oxidized. Nevertheless, corresponding feed-profile experiments showed that deviations in the reductive metabolism could not be completely suppressed due to variability in the model parameters. Therefore, a proportional feedback controller using heat evolution rate measurements was implemented. Calorimetry provides an excellent and rapid estimate of the metabolic activity. Satisfactory control was achieved and led to constant biomass yields. Ethanol accumulated only up to 0.49 g L-1 as compared to an accumulation of 1.82 g L-1 without on-line control in the shift-up experiment to the same final dilution rate. ©1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: F-MEL cells were transfected with the c-jun antisense gene located downstream of a glucocorticoid-inducible MMTV promoter, and the obtained cells were named c-jun AS cells. When the c-jun AS cells were treated with dexamethasone (DEX) in DMEM supplemented with 10% serum, the growth of the cells was completely suppressed for a duration of 16 days with a high cell viability exceeding 86%. The c-jun expression in the c-jun AS cells was suppressed moderately in the absence of DEX and strongly in the presence of DEX. The c-jun AS cells grew well and reached a density of 106 cells/mL without supplementation of any serum components. Viability was greater than 80% after the cells had been cultured for 8 days in the absence of DEX. The c-jun AS cells stayed at a constant cell density and high viability above 80% for 8 days when they were cultured in the presence of DEX under serum deprivation. In contrast, the wild type F-MEL cells were unable to grow and died by apoptosis in 3 days under serum deprivation. Internucleosomal cleavage of DNA, a landmark of apoptosis, was clearly detectable. Thus the c-jun AS cell line that is resistant to apoptosis induced by serum deprivation and can reversibly and viably be growth-arrested was established. A dual-signal model was proposed to explain the experimental result, the interlinked regulation of apoptosis, and growth by c-jun.© 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 58:65-72, 1998.

    Notes: Deactivation data and fluorescence intensity changes were used to probe functional and structural stability of cutinase in reverse micelles. A fast deactivation of cutinase in anionic (AOT) reverse micelles occurs due to a reversible denaturation process. The deactivation and denaturation of cutinase is slower in small cationic (CTAB/1-hexanol) reverse micelles and does not occur when the size of the cationic reverse micellar water-pool is larger than cutinase. In both systems, activity loss and denaturation are coupled processes showing the same trend with time. Denaturation is probably caused by the interaction between the enzyme and the surfactant interface of the reversed micelle. When the size of the empty reversed micelle water-pool is smaller than cutinase (at W0 5, with W0 being the water:surfactant concentration ratio) a three-state model describes denaturation and deactivation with an intermediate conformational state existing on the path from native to denaturated cutinase. This intermediate was clearly detected by an increase in activity and shows only minor conformational changes relative to the native state. At W0 20, the size of the empty water-pool was larger than cutinase and the data was well described by a two-state model for both anionic and cationic reverse micelles. For AOT reverse micelles at W0 20, the intermediate state became a transient state and the deactivation and denaturation were described by a two-state model in which only native and denaturated cutinase were present. For CTAB/1-hexanol reverse micelles at W0 20, the native cutinase was in equilibrium with an intermediate state, which did not suffer denaturation. 1-Hexanol showed a stabilizing effect on cutinase in reverse micelles, contributing to the higher stabilities observed in the cationic CTAB/1-hexanol reverse micelles. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The ring opening of 3-isopropyl-2-phenyl-3-oxetanol (2a) by various nucleophiles has been studied. In the presence of BF3 as a Lewis acid, a clean reaction at the less substituted C-4 position was observed and the corresponding 1,2-diols 6-11 and 21-23 were isolated in diastereomerically pure form (47-97% yield). Alkyl-, aryl-, alkynyl- and alkenyllithium compounds proved to be suitable carbon nucleophiles. Deprotonated thiols were used as sulfur nucleophiles. An alkoxide derived from benzyl alcohol and an amide derived from benzylamine reacted less readily under these conditions, yielding the 1,2,3-trifunctional compounds 24 (42% yield) and 26 (54% yield). Other 2-phenyl-3-oxetanols such as 2b and 2c can also be employed as electrophiles, whereas 2-anisyl derivatives preferentially undergo rearrangement reactions, as exemplified by the conversion of oxetane 16 to the hydroxy ketone 17 (84% yield). The superior behaviour of 3-oxetanols as compared to their silyl derivatives in reactions with nucleophiles became evident from the reaction of 3-silyloxyoxetane 1a with alkyllithium reagents. A β elimination occurred upon treatment with nBuLi, which, after pericyclic ring opening and addition of nBuLi, yielded the allylic alcohol 20.

    Notes: The fluorescence of the DBO derivatives 1-3 is efficiently quenched by olefins and arenes, exciplex formation and hydrogen transfer operate as quenching mechanisms. The electron-accepting ester groups in the azoalkanes 1-3 promote significantly more effective quenching compared to the parent DBO. Steric hindrance accounts for the differences in the quenching efficiencies, but electronic effects dominate

    Notes: 3-Nitro-ω-benzylideneacetophenone (1) reacts with carbanions containing leaving groups to give addition products to the electrophilic side chain. As a result of conjugated addition and subsequent intramolecular vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (VNS) in the nitroaromatic ring of 1 in the position para to the nitro group, 4-cyano-7-nitro-3-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-one and 4-cyano-7-nitro-3-phenylnaphth-1-ol are obtained. Smooth intramolecular VNS in the position para to the nitro group was observed for 4-chloro-1-(3-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-4-(p-tosyl)butanol.

    Notes: In aqueous media the one-electron reduction of the title compounds on a mercury pool generally gives rise to three dimers, which are distinguishable by HPL chromatography. From spectroscopic analyses it has been possible to propose a structure for these conformers and their stability has been studied. Two conformers are unstable, yielding the third conformer. A mechanism is proposed for this transformation.

    Notes: The application of our cycloSaligenyl- (cycloSal) pronucleotide concept to the approved anti-HIV dideoxynucleoside 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine AZT (1) is reported. This pro-nucleotide concept has been designed to deliver the corresponding 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine monophosphate AZTMP (2) by selective chemical hydrolysis from the lipophilic precursors cycloSal-AZTMP 4a-h. All derivatives 4a-h were synthesized using differently substituted salicyl alcohols 7a-h as starting materials. In hydrolysis studies, compounds 4 decomposed selectively releasing AZTMP (2) and the salicyl alcohols 7 following the designed tandem reaction. Furthermore, due to the electronic properties introduced by substituents, the half-lives of the triesters 4 could be ajusted over a wide range. Phosphotriesters 4 exhibited considerable biological activity in HIV-1 and HIV-2 infected wild-type human T-lymphocyte (CEM/O) cells, whereas, contrary to our expectations, nearly all activity was lost in HIV-2 infected thymidine-kinase-deficient CEM cells.

    Notes: In the reactions of dimethyldioxirane (1a) and methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (1b) with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (2) (TEMPO) in acetone, the corresponding methoxyamine 1-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (5) is produced in ≥98% yield, both in air and under N2, and in the absence or presence of a hydrocarbon (adamantane). Kinetic experiments show that aminoxyl 2 triggers the radical decomposition of the dioxirane, in addition to scavenging methyl radicals derived therefrom. The reactions of an aminoxyl less prone to oxidation, namely 1,2-dihydro-2-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-indol-3-one-1-oxyl (4), with dioxiranes 1a and 1b in acetone have also been studied. In these cases, not only is the corresponding methoxyamine 8a produced (yield 12-16%), but quinoneimine-N-oxides 10 (yield 12-21%) and 11 (yield 18-19%) are also formed. Furthermore, significant amounts (8-14%) of the amine 9 (the product of deoxygenation of 4) can be isolated. These observations provide useful information concerning the free-radical mechanism that follows the initial attack by the aminoxyl at the dioxirane.

    Notes: Structural modification of the highly fluorescent donor-bridge-acceptor molecule “Fluoroprobe” (FP) is shown to extend the excitation window to longer wavelengths. The resulting “Fluorotrope” (FT) shows appreciable absorption in the 350-420-nm range, so that visible (blue) light can be used for excitation. Further functionalization with a maleimide group results in the novel fluorogenic reagent MaleimidoFluorotrope (MFT) which yields fluorescent adducts with amines, thiols and other reactive groups that add to the double bond of the maleimide. The fluorescence wavelength of these adducts is extremely sensitive to the polarity and mobility of the medium.

    Notes: A series of N-Boc-protected β-tripeptide derivatives with or without N-methyl groups and with free or Me-ester-protected C terminus has been prepared (8-14, 16, 17). As with α-peptides (→ A), the β-peptide derivatives can be polylithiated (→ B, C). No epimerization of stereogenic centers and no β elimination (exception 17 → 24) is observed upon treatment with bases as strong as tBuLi. The C terminal ester Li-enolate moiety of tetralithio β-tripeptides (cf. C) can be selectively alkylated with methyl, benzyl and allyl halides, and with tert-butyl bromoacetate in yields ranging from 35-80% (8 → 18, 14 → 20-23).

    Notes: The syntheses of 1,2-benzodithiino[5,4,3-cde][1,2]benzodithiin-2,7-diamine (1) and dithio-bridged benzidine 2 have been achieved. The starting material for the synthesis of 1 was 1,3-diiodo-5-nitrobenzene (15) which was transformed by conventional means into 1,2-bis[3,5-bis(ethylthio)phenyl]diazane (19). The benzidine rearrangement of 19 in the presence of HBF4 at -30 °C yielded 4,4′-diamino-2,2′,6,6′-tetraethylthiobiphenyl (20) in 50 % yield. Treatment of 20 with sodium in ammonia and work-up in the presence of air yielded 1. The latter compound could be reduced with LiAlH4 to the tetrathiol 20a. The starting material for the preparation of 2 was 3-chloro-1-iodo-5-nitrobenzene (23), a side product of the preparation of 15. It was transformed analogously to the preparation of 1 into 1,2-bis(3-ethylthiophenyl)diazane (28). The benzidine rearrangement of 28 in presence of HBF4 at -30 °C afforded 4,4′-diamino-2,2′-bis(ethylthio)biphenyl (29) in 49 % yield. Treatment of 29 with sodium in ammonia and work-up under aerobic conditions yielded 2. Quantitative reduction of 2 to the thiol 29a could be achieved with LiAlH4. The reversible electrochemical reduction of 1 on unmodified glassy carbon electrodes leads to a product to which the structure of 3 was assigned.

    Notes: Evidence for a stereoelectronic inhibition of deprotonation of the radical cation of N-benzylpiperidine is presented. This stereoelectronic effect, which is due to the cyclic structure of the precursor, provides a tool to differentiate hydrogen-atom- versus electron-transfer routes in the biomimetic oxidative N-dealkylation of tertiary amines: the electron-transfer route appears to be the operating mechanism.

    Notes: Cycloaddition reactions of the facially dissymmetric diene moiety of (-)-(M,7S)-colchicine (5) and (-)-(M,7S)-10-ethylthiocolchicide (9) to various alkynes have been studied. With 5 and the dienophilic benzyne (3), dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) (4) and cyclooctyne (6) as starting materials all cycloadditions could be realized with high regioselectivity at the 8,12-positions of the alkaloid. The approach of the dienophiles preferentially occurred toward the syn π-face of the diene. In contrast to the cycloaddition mode of 5 the ethylthiocolchicide 9 surprisingly reacted in a different manner. With benzyne as starting material a novel [3+2] cycloaddition of the thioenol ether moiety of 9 towards the dipolarophilic benzyne is supposed, affording the unexpected colchicide 10 after [1,5]H shift of the primarily formed cycloadduct followed by cleavage of the C-S linkage. With DMAD (4) and cyclooctyne (6) the reaction course is more complex. In a consecutive [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition (or vice versa) followed by a thermally induced cycloreversion of a not identified intermediate DMAD (4) gives rise to the polycyclic thiophene derivative 13 and the novel allocolchicinoid 14. In a similar way cyclooctyne (6) yielded three products, the thiophene-annulated homobarrelenones 18 and 19 and the tetracyclic allocolchicinoid 21. The structures of the novel colchicine derivatives were assigned on the basis of spectral data, those of the cycloadducts 1 and 19 were verified by X-ray crystallography. For the unprecedented formation of the various allocolchicinoids by consecutive [4+2]/[3+2] cycloadditions plausible reaction pathways are suggested, as far as possible. In addition the inhibitory effects on the tubulin polymerization reaction in vitro of 10, 14, and 21 are reported.

    Notes: The high-pressure promoted Diels-Alder reactions between several furans and citraconic anhydride have been studied and the cycloadducts obtained have been explored in new straightforward routes to the CD-ring fragment of paclitaxel. The reaction between furan and citraconic anhydride afforded the exo cycloadduct diastereoselectively, whereas a variety of 2-substituted furans afforded approximate 1:1 mixtures of exo regioisomers. Separation of both regioisomers was accomplished after either diastereoselective esterification or regioselective reduction of the anhydride function. Ether cleavage of the bicyclic compounds by either high-pressure promoted ether cleavage or Boord elimination afforded several potential CD-ring precursors which can be used in the total synthesis of paclitaxel analogues.

    Notes: An improved method for the preparation of ethyl 2-fluoro-3-methyl-2-butenoate (3) is described. The two stereoisomers [(E)-4 and (Z)-4] obtained after γ-bromination can be separated and can be individually converted into the corresponding diethyl phosphonates. The PO-ylides generated by α-deprotonation of the latter lose their stereochemical integrity by rapid torsional equilibration of the ester tail. Thus, Horner-Wittig reactions accomplished with benzaldehyde and (Z)- or (E)-(β-ionylidene)-acetaldehyde lead inevitably to stereorandomization at the terminal, ethoxycarbonyl-bearing double bond affording (E)- and (Z)-isomers in 50:50 to 15:85 ratios, depending on the reaction conditions. The new double bond, however, is formed with perfect trans-selectivity.

Starting from (+)- or (-)-3-methylcyclohexanone (6a,b), the oxo esters 7a and 7b were prepared. Condensation with (+)- or (-)-3-aminohexanol (8a,b) gave the stereoisomeric 3-aminoacrylates 9a, 9b and 9c. The hydroxy group of the amino-acrylates was transformed into bromide using the tosylate method. Cyclization of the bromides led to unsaturated quinoline ring systems. Finally, decarboxylation and catalytic hydrogenation gave the different cis- and trans-fused stereoisomeric alkaloids of the pumiliotoxin C type. The structures were verified by X-ray analysis.

    Notes: The reaction of alkynylstannanes with 1-phenyl-3,4-dimethylphosphole at 150 °C affords the corresponding 2-stannyl-1-phosphanorbornadienes (2a, b), in fair yield. Oxidation under mild conditions affords the corresponding phosphane oxides (3a, b), whereas more drastic conditions (H2O2, 15% in toluene at 80 °C) induce the oxidative cleavage of the P-CH2 bond of the bridge to give a bicyclic phosphinate such as 4. Treatement of 4 by iodine leads to a tin → iodine exchange. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of the resulting 1-phospha-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octa-5,7-diene 1-oxide confirms the functionalisation at the α-position and the relief of ring strain taking place upon insertion of oxygen into the P-CH2 bond of the norbornadiene. The 2-stannyl-1-phosphanorbornadiene 1-oxides (3a, b) readily undergo tin → iodine exchange. The resulting 2-iodo derivatives (6a, b) can be cross-coupled with 2-furyl-, 2-thienyl-, 2-pyrrolyl-, phenylethynyl-, and vinyl-tributylstannanes to give the corresponding 2-functional 1-phosphanorbornadiene 1-oxides in excellent yields (80-95%)

    Notes: The 4-benzylidene-3-oxo[1,3]oxathiolan-5-ones 13-15, which were derived from the 3-oxo[1,3]oxathiolan-5-ones 9-11 by Knoevenagel condensation with the aldehydes 12, cyclize in an intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reaction with high yield and excellent endo/exo as well as induced diastereoselectivity to give the hetero Diels-Alder adducts 16-18. The preferred formation of the Knoevenagel products 13-15 with a (Z) configuration was predicted with DFT calculations (B3LYP-6-311+G*) using the model systems 28 and 29. In addition B3LYP-6-31G*/sB3LYP/3-21G(*) calculations on transition structures for the hetero Diels-Alder reaction of 29 and 30 allowed a good correlation with the experimental results, which show that an endo attack of the dienophile syn to the S-O group in 13-15 leads to the main products.

    Notes: The previously reported reaction of phthalocyanines [H2(pc)] with PBr3, which was claimed to give a phosphorus(III) phthalocyanine “(PcPIII)”, has been reinvestigated in detail with both unsubstituted and alkyl-substituted phthalocyanines, 1-4. The products exhibit unusual electronic and mass spectra compared to normal phthalocyanines and have been identified as oxophosphorus(V) triazatetrabenzcorroles 5-8. The corresponding dihydroxyphosphorus(V) phthalocyanine hydroxides 9-12 have also been synthesized for the first time by insertion of phosphorus(V) into phthalocyanines and have been characterized in detail. The different reactivities of PBr3 and POX3 (X = Cl, Br) toward phthalocyanines are discussed.

    Notes: The synthesis of the water-soluble tripodal phosphane ligand cis,cis-1,3,5-(PPh2)3-1,3,5-[CH2(OCH2CH2)xOCH3]C6H6 (x = 30-160) (5) has been achieved in a four-step reaction sequence. The alcohol Mo(CO)3[cis,cis-1,3,5-(PPh2)3-1,3,5-(CH2OH)3C6H6] (1) is converted to the corresponding alcoholate 2, which forms the polyethylene glycol derivative 3 in a polyaddition reaction with oxirane. After methylation of the end groups of 3, the ligand 5 is obtained by a combined photochemical/oxidative demolybdenation reaction. The water-soluble tripodal phosphane 5 and the methoxymethyl functionalized tripodal ligand 6 react with Rh(PPh3)3(CO)H to form the water-soluble and water-insoluble rhodium carbonyl hydrido complexes 5a and 6a, respectively. The catalytic activity of the rhodium complex 5a in the hydroformylation of 1-hexene was found to be comparable in a single-phase system (1-hexene/methanol) with that in the biphasic system (1-hexene/water). Only traces of alcohol were found, which demonstrates that the catalyst 5a displays higher selectivity in hydroformylation than in hydrogenation.

    Notes: The effect of the natural bite angle (βn) of diphosphane ligands on catalyst selectivity and activity in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of sec-butyl magnesium chloride with bromobenzene was investigated. The calculated natural bite angles range from 78° for dppe (1,2-bisdiphenylphosphanoethane) to 110° for Xantphos. The natural bite angle of diphosphane ligands has a large effect on catalyst selectivity and activity. Both rate and selectivity of the cross-coupling reaction increase with increasing bite angle and reach a maximum value with DPEphos (βn = 102.7° ). Larger bite angles of the diphosphane ligands result in a decreased selectivity and activity.

    Notes: The synthesis and characterization of transition-metal coordination compounds containing the ligand diethyl 2-quinolylmethylphosphonate (2-qmpe) is described. Complexes of CoII, MnII, NiII, CdII, and ZnII were found to be mutually isomorphous according to their X-ray powder diffraction patterns and IR spectra. The new coordination compounds were identified and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, infrared and ligand-field spectra. The crystal structures of the complexes [M(2-qmpe)4(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (M = Ni, 1; Mn, 2) reveal six-coordinate [M(2-qmpe)4(H2O)2] cations with the qmpe ligand coordinating via the oxygen rather than via the nitrogen atom, as well as lattice perchlorate anions. The metal ion is octahedrally surrounded by the four oxygen atoms of the four organic ligands. The non-participation of the pyridine nitrogen atom is unusual. The two water molecules occupy the fifth and the sixth coordination sites in a trans configuration. The coordinated water molecules are strongly hydrogen-bonded to the pyridine nitrogen atom of the 2-qmpe, further stabilizing the solid-state structure. The geometry of the metal ion can be described as distorted octahedral. For the CuII complex, a hydroxo-bridged dinuclear structure of the type [Cu(2-qmpe)2(OH)(H2O)2]2(ClO4)2 is proposed, based on its spectroscopic and magnetic properties. Ligand-field spectra of the Co and Ni compounds were found to be in agreement with the tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry.

    Notes: The sequential reaction of two equivalents of the dimethylamino(ethynyl)carbene complexes [(CO)5M=C(NMe2)C≡CH] [M = W (1a), Cr (1b)] with two equivalents of nBuLi and one equivalent of a transition metal dichloride, [Cl2M′(Ln)], affords trinuclear biscarbene complexes of the type [(CO)5M=C(NMe2)C≡C-M′(Ln)-C≡CC(NMe)2=M(CO)5] [M′(Ln) = Ni(PEt3)2 (2a, b), Pd(PEt3)2 (3a, b), Pt(PEt3)2 (4a, b), Fe(dmpe)2 (6a), Hg (8a), Ti(η5-C5H5)2 (9a, b)] [dmpe = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane]. Treatment of 1a with equimolar amounts of first nBuLi and then [Cl2M′(Ln)] results in the formation of the monosubstitution products [(CO)5W=C(NMe2)C≡CM′(Ln)] [M′(Ln) = trans-Pd(PEt3)2Cl (5a), trans-Fe(dmpe)2Cl (7a)]. Additionally, the synthesis of the heterobimetallicethynylcarbene complex [(CO)5W=C(NMe2)C≡CPd(PEt3)2C≡CH] (10a), starting from 1a and [ClPd(PEt3)2C≡CH], is described. When three equivalents of 1a are treated, first with three equivalents of nBuLi and then with one equivalent of the trihalides PCl3 or BBr3, the novel tris(ethynylcarbene) complexes [{(CO)5W=C(NMe2)C≡C}3E] [E = B (11a), P (12a)] are obtained. The reaction of four equivalents of 1a,b with four equivalents of nBuLi, followed by addition of one equivalent of a group 14 tetrachloride [M′Cl4], yields the novel tetrakis(ethynylcarbene) complexes [{(CO)5M=C(NMe2)C≡C}4M′] [M′ = Si (13a, b), Ge (14a), Sn (15a, b)]. The complexes 8a, 9a, 12a, and 15a were characterized by X-ray structural analyses. All spectroscopic and structural data suggest that the carbene fragments and the central transition metal or heteroatom in these new bis-, tris-, and tetrakis(ethynylcarbene) complexes interact only weakly.

    Notes: Various β-, γ-, and δ-alkynols have been reacted with the 16e- fragment [(triphos)Re(CO)2]+ generated in situ by H2 elimination from [(triphos)Re(CO)2(η2-H2)]BF4 [triphos = MeC(CH2PPh2)3]. Irrespective of the length of the alkyl chain between the C≡C and OH functional groups in the ω-alkynol, 2-oxacyclocarbene complexes are obtained. These include the 2-oxacyclopentylidene derivatives [(triphos)Re(CO)2{=CCH2CH2CH2O}]BF4 and [(triphos)Re(CO)2{=CCH2CH2CH(Me)O}]BF4, the 2-oxacyclohexylidene dervivatives [(triphos)Re(CO)2{=CCH2CH2CH2CH2O}]BF4 and[(triphos)Re(CO)2{=CCH2CH2CH2CH(Me)O}]BF4, and the 2-oxacycloheptylidene complex [(triphos)Re(CO)2{=CCH2CH2- CH2CH2CH2O}]BF4. The latter compound contains a unprecedented seven-membered oxacarbene ring. The rhenium-assisted δ-alkynol to 2-oxacyloheptylidene rearrangement proceeds via the hydroxybutylvinylidene kinetic intermediate [(triphos)Re(CO)2{C=C(H)CH2CH2CH2CH2OH}]BF4, which has been characterized in both the solid state and solution. An X-ray analysis has been carried out on a single crystal of [(triphos)Re(CO)2{=CCH2CH2CH(Me)O}]BF4. The structure of this complex consists of [(triphos)Re(CO)2{=CCH2CH2CH(Me)O}]+ cations and tetrafluoroborate anions with no interspersed solvent molecules. A facial triphos ligand, two cis-disposed carbonyl groups and a 2-oxacyclopentylidene ligand coordinate the Re centre in a slightly distorted octahedral environment.

Single crystal X-ray structural analysis of Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2Ph)- {C6H4(CH2NMe2)-2}Cl and of Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NiPr){CH2C6H4(NMe2)-2}Cl revealed the presence of intramolecular coordination with square pyramidal geometry around titanium. In the ferrocenyl derivative Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2Ph)[{η5-C5H3(CH2NMe2)-2}Fe(η5-C5H5)]Cl the NMe2 group is not bonded at the titanium atom. Ethene polymerization catalyzed by these complexes upon activation with methylaluminoxane was examined.

    Notes: The novel compounds K2AuPS4 (1), Tl2AuPS4 (2), K2AuAsS4 (3), and KAu5P2S8 (4) have been synthesized by direct reaction of the elements with a molten alkaline polythiophosphate(arsenate) flux at 550°C. The crystal structures of these compounds have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. 1, 2, and 3 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/m. The structures of 1, 2, and 3 consist of infinite, one-dimensional anionic chains running along the crystallographic b axis. The chains are separated by potassium or thallium ions. Neighbouring Au atoms are bridged by MS43- tetrahedra (M = P, As) in a trans orientation. Compound 4 crystallizes in the space group P21/c. The anionic chains of 4 are built up from linear AuS2 dumbbell units and PS43- tetrahedra. The chains extend along the [110] and [110] direction and are separated by charge balancing K+ cations. Each of the compounds was investigated by differential thermal analysis, FT-IR, and solid-state UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.

    Notes: Addition of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene LH4 to the dinuclear compounds M2(NMe2)6 (M = Mo, W) results in the formation of [NH2Me2]2[L2M2] 1 (M = Mo) and 2 (M = W). Both compounds have been characterized by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The metal-metal distances of 1 and 2, of 2.194(1) Å and 2.293(1) Å, respectively, are consistent with the retention of the M≡M triple bond. Both „ate” complexes contain a [M≡M]6+ dimetal core, supported by two bridging μ2-κ2O,κ2O-calix[4]arene ligands in the solid state. These compounds are the first examples of a formally fourfold deprotonated calix[4]arene acting as a μ2-κ2O,κ2O bridging ligand for two transition metal centres. The calix[4]arenes in 1 and 2 are distorted from a cone conformation in the uncomplexed ligand, to an elliptical cone section. 1H-NMR data at variable temperatures suggest fluxional behaviour of 1 and 2 in solution.

    Notes: The bis(1,2,3,4,5-pentamethyl-1,3-cyclopentadien-1-yl)phosphanes 3-7 are formed in good yields by the reaction of the halogenophosphanes 2a or 2b with the appropriate nucleophile. Following another route, the dialkylaminobis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)phosphanes 11a-c have been synthesized by the treatment of dichloro(dialkylamino)phosphanes with two equivalents of (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)lithium. The compounds 3-11 have been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and 3, 5, 6, and 11a have also been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The molecular structure of 11a is governed by steric congestion, which typically would lead to a parallel arrangement of the two pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands at the phosphorus atom. However, surprisingly, the crystal structure of the (dimethylamino)phosphane 11a, exhibits a tilted, rather than a parallel, conformation of the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl groups [tilt angle: 130.6(1)°].

    Notes: Compounds of the type M(N∩N-κN)(nq)2 and M2(μ2-N∩N)(μ2-pbq)2, in which nq = 1,4-naphthoquinone, pbq = 1,4-benzoquinone, and N∩N is a monodentate or bridging ligand of the α-diimine type, were obtained from reactions of Pd(dba)2 in toluene with the 3,3′-annelated-2,2′-bipyridines: 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one (dafo) and 4,5-diazafluorene (dafe) in the presence of the appropriate p-quinone. In the corresponding reactions with 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpym), N,N′-dicyclohexyl-1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene (chex-dab), bis[N-(o,o′-diisopropyl)phenylimino]acenaphthene (o,o′-iPr2-bian) and 5,6-dihydro-1,10-phenanthroline (dh-phen) only complexes of the type M(N∩N-κ2N)(Q) were formed (Q = nq, pbq). The structures of the complexes have been established by NMR in solution and by X-ray diffraction in the solid state; crystal structures of Pd(bpy-κ2N)(η2-pbq) (1) Pd(dafo-κN)(η2-nq)2 (14) and Pd2(μ2-dafo)(μ2,η2:η2-pbq)2 (16) have been determined. Of the ligands, dafo and dafe are the only ones apt to form complexes containing a monodentate or bridging N∩N ligand. This behaviour is ascribed to the geometrical constraints of dafo and dafe; the annelation by one carbon atom at the 3,3′-positions in these ligands causes an increase in bite angle from approximately 77° to 82°.

All compounds were characterized by IR, UV/Vis, MS, 1H, 13C and 19F NMR as well as elemental analyses. Phenyl(phthalocyaninato)indium(III) (4f) was prepared by the reaction of (n-C5H11)8PcInCl (4a) with PhLi. The high solubility of the complexes 3a-e and 4a-f is, aside from the influence of the peripheral substituents, considered to be derived from the large dipole moments present which are due to the strongly electron withdrawing axial ligands, and from the lower tendency of axially substituted phthalocyaninato metal complexes to form aggregates.

    Notes: Chlorophosphanyl and dichlorophosphanyl alkylidene- and benzylidenephosphoranes 6 and 8 are converted by reaction with LiAlH4 to the respective phosphanes 7 and 9. The former can be isolated, but decompose on heating or on protonation to give the ylidyl diphosphane 11 and the phosphonium ylide or phosphonium salt, respectively. The final products are the cyclooligophosphanes 15-17. Only the C-tert-butyl derivative 7c is stable in both regards. The conformation of the RPH group in 7 as compared to that of the RPCl group in 6 clearly reflects their different interaction with the ylide moiety.

In contrast, complexes [Ru(Et2NCS2)(Y)(triphos)]n+ (6, n = 1, Y = CO; 7, n = 0, Y = CN-; 8, n = 0, Y = H-) are stereochemically rigid in solution at this temperature, indicating that MeCN dissociation must occur for the crowded octahedral coordination spheres of 2-5. Reaction of [Ru(MeCN)3(triphos)](CF3SO3)2, 1, with Na(Et2NCS2) at a 1:2 molar ratio yields [Ru(Et2NCS2-κ2S)(Et2NCS2-κS)(triphos)], 9, which slowly converts to [Ru(Et2NCS2-κ2S)2(triphosO-κ2P)], 10, on recrystallization from ethanol/acetone under air [triphosO is O=P(Ph)2CH2C(CH3)(CH2PPh2)2]. A similar κ3P→κ2P arm-off dissociation leads to the formation of [Ru(mpy-κ2N,S)2(triphosO-κ2P)] (13) and [Ru(mmim-κ2N,S)2(triphosO-κ2P)] (14) (Hmpy = 2-mercaptopyridine, Hmmim = 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole). Crystal structures are reported for [Ru(mbt-κ2N,S)(MeCN)(triphos-κ3P)](CF3SO3) (4) (Hmbt = 2-mercaptobenzothiazole), [Ru(mpym-κ2N,S)(mpym-κS)(triphos-κ3P)] (11) (Hmpym = 2-mercaptopyrimidine) and 14, the latter of which is present as the OC-6-13 isomer.

    Notes: The influence of metals, alkyne substituents, Cp substitution and additional ligands on the stability of bridged and unbridged η2-alkyne-titanocene and -zirconocene complexes has been investigated. The reduction of the complex [(η5-C5H4)-SiMe2-(η5-C5H4)]TiCl2 with magnesium in the presence of tolan (PhC2Ph) does not give the expected alkyne-titanocene complex [(η5-C5H4)-SiMe2-(η5-C5H4)]Ti(η2-PhC2Ph) but by coupling of two tolan molecules the corresponding titanacyclopentadiene [(η5-C5H4)-SiMe2-(η5-C5H4)]TiC4Ph4 (1) was obtained. In the analogous reaction with Me3SiC2SiMe3 the stable η2-alkyne complex without additional ligands [(η5-C5H4)-SiMe2-(η5-C5H4)]Ti(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (2) was formed, due to the sterical influence of the alkyne substituents. The compounds without additional ligands (thi)2Ti(η2-PhC2Ph) (3) and (thi)2Ti(η2- Me3SiC2SiMe3) (5) were isolated from the unbridged titanocene complex (thi)2TiCl2 (thi = tetrahydroindenyl). Two equivalents of complex 3 reacted with one equivalent of water to yield the dimeric alkylidene-μ-oxo complex [(thi)2Ti(CPh=CHPh)]2(μ-O) (6). The reaction of the unbridged zirconocene compound (thi)2ZrCl2 gave the alkyne complex (thi)2Zr(THF)(η2-Me3- SiC2SiMe3) (7) which is stabilized by THF. At higher temperature THF was eliminated from the orange complex 7 forming the green complex (thi)2Zr(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3). This behaviour was investigated in detail using NMR spectroscopy and compared to similar complexes such as Cp2Zr(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (not stable without THF), (ebthi)2Zr(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (ebthi = ethylenebistetrahydroindenyl; stable without THF) and Cp*2Zr(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (Cp* = pentamethyl-Cp, stable without THF). All complexes were characterized by spectroscopic methods. X-ray structural determinations were conducted for the complexes 1, 3 and 7. Compound 3 is the first example of a structurally characterized tolan-titanocene complex without additional ligands.

    Notes: A cone-shaped calix[4]arene-derived monophosphinite, 25,27-di(ethoxycarbonylmethoxy)-26-hydroxy-28-(diphenylphosphinooxy)calix[4]arene (L1), has been prepared in two steps from calix[4]arene. Treatment of L1 with [AuCl(tetrahydrothiophene)] in tetrahydrofuran gave the phosphinite complex [AuClL1] (1). Reaction of [PdCl2(PhCN)2] with two equivalents of L1 gave selectively trans-[PdCl2L12] (2). Complex 2 · 2 CH2Cl2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1¯. The molecule is centrosymmetric, leading to a divergent array of the two calixarene moieties. The palladium atom resides outside both cones. As a result of steric interactions, the meta and para carbon atoms of the PPh2-bearing aryl ring are significantly pushed to the interior of the cavity. The related platinum complex trans-[PtCl2L122] (3), was obtained similarly from [PtCl2(PhCN)2] and presents in the solid state a structure which is isomorphous to that of 2. The diphosphinite 25,27-di(ethoxycarbonylmethoxy)-26,28-bis(diphenylphosphinoxy)calix[4]arene (cone) (L2) has also been prepared and reacts with [PtCl2(PhCN)2] to yield oligomeric material.

    Notes: The mesogenic 4,4′-bis[4-(n-octyloxy)benzoyloxy]azobenzene (HL) ligand reacts with [(PhCN)2PdCl2] to give the dinuclear cyclometalated complex [(μ-Cl)(L)Pd]2 (1), from which the mononuclear half-sandwich [(η5-C5H5)(L)Pd] (2) species has been obtained by reaction with Tl(C5H5). The PtII analogue of 2, [(η5-C5H5)(L)Pt] (4), has been prepared in a similar manner starting from [(μ-Cl)(L)Pt]2 (3). Both dinuclear complexes 1 and 3 display a smectic C phase (SC) stable over 80°C. Whereas 4 is the first example of an 18-electron PtII mesogen, both mononuclear 2 and 4 are mesomorphic materials that exhibit a nematic phase spanning a wide temperature range.

    Notes: The “coloring problem,” as applied to the field of solid state chemistry, addresses the issues of structural preference as well as the distribution of different elements within a given structure. Both the connectivity and arrangement of elements in a solid affect physical and chemical properties, so a clear understanding of the forces controlling how elements will arrange themselves in a solid state structure creates the ability to predict structure-composition-property relationships. There are two fundamental energetic contributions that influence how elements in a structure order: the site energy and the bond energy. This review examines how these two parts of the total electronic energy work together to influence the observed structures, compositions, and properties of intermetallics and transition metal cluster compounds.

NMR studies of the diamagnetic cadmium complex 4c show six equivalent ligands. Unambiguous characterisation of 5b was achieved by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

    Notes: Bis(pentafluorophenyl)cadmium, [Cd(C6F5)2], reacts with equimolar amounts of triphenylmethanethiol, TrtSH, in toluene to give [{Cd(C6F5)(STrt)}4] · 1.5 tol (1). The cuboidal complex of 1 has been transformed into the heterometallic cuboidal complex [{Cd(C6F5)(STrt)}3(OH)K(THF)3] (2) by reaction with KOH in tetrahydrofuran. In the presence of 18-crown-6, the compound [K(18-crown-6)(THF)2][{Cd(C6F5)- (STrt)}3(OH)] · THF (3) has been obtained instead of 2. X-ray structure analysis shows the anion of 3 to be an incomplete cuboidal complex, which alternatively can be described as a cyclic trimer of the {Cd(C6F5)(STrt)} unit stabilized by a μ3-hydroxo ligand. The compound [K(18-crown-6)(THF)2][Cd(C6F5)(STrt)2] (4) has been isolated from reaction mixtures containing 1, KSTrt and 18-crown-6. The cadmium atom in 4 is three-coordinated, in contrast to the cadmium atoms in 1-3, which are situated in strongly distorted coordination tetrahedra. Intramolecular C6H5···C6F5···C6H5 stacks in 4 are interpreted as resulting from attractive ligand-ligand interactions. Spectroscopic data, particularly from 13C-NMR and IR spectra, are consistent with the order of ligand deficiency: 1 〉 2 〉 3 〉 4. The macrocyclic, eight-coordinate complex [K(18-crown-6)(THF)2]+ in 3 and 4 contains trans arranged THF ligands.

These primary examples of gallium/group-14 heterocycles have been investigated by NMR spectroscopy as well as by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis. In addition, the synthesis and structure of bis(hypersilyl)gallium chloride is described. This monomeric molecule has a nearly T-shaped Si2GaCl framework.

    Notes: With the purpose of preparing novel mono- and bidentate organoboron Lewis acids, the scope and limitations of synthesizing the requisite organoboranes by the boron-tin exchange between a boron halide and the appropriate organostannane have been examined in detail. The following organotin derivatives have been obtained either from the corresponding RMgBr or RLi reagent and MenSnCl4-n or from a Barbier procedure using the organic halide, Me3SnCl and magnesium metal: 1,2-bis(trimethylstannyl)ethyne, o-, m-, and p-bis(trimethyl-stannyl)benzenes, α,o-bis(trimethylstannyl)toluene, α,α-bis(trimethylstannyl)-o-xylene, and 2,2-dimethyl-2-stannaindane. The individual interaction of the 1,2-bis(trimethylstannyl)ethyne and the isomeric bis(trimethylstannyl)benzenes with Et2BBr produced the corresponding bis(diethylboryl)-derivatives. By contrast, with Et2BCl the α,o-bis(trimethylstannyl)toluene gave only o-diethylboryl-α-trimethylstannyltoluene and with BCl3 the α,α′-bis(trimethylstannyl)-o-xylene formed only,-bis-(chlorodimethylstannyl)-o-xylene. Furthermore, in the attempted double boron-tin exchange between o-bis(trimethylstannyl)benzene and BCl3, an unprecedented rearrangement of the 1-(dichloroboryl)-2-(trimethylstan-nyl)benzene intermediate into its 1-[chloro(methyl)boryl]-2-(chlorodimethylstannyl) isomer was observed. Likewise, o-bis(trimethylstannyl)benzene with PhBCl2 produced by a similar rearrangement 1-[methyl(phenyl)boryl]-2-(chloro-dimethylstannyl)benzene. The thermolysis of such boranes led variously to definite dimers or ill-defined oligomers. Preliminary studies of the properties of these organoboranes have identified the heightened Lewis acidity of 1,2-bis(diethylboryl)ethyne and the π-electron delocalization involving the 2pz-boron orbitals in the 9,10-dihydro-9,10-diboraanthracene system. Finally, an electronic mechanism for the boron-tin exchange has been developed to account for the selectivity of the boron halide's attack at unsaturated carbon-tin bonds.

    Notes: The aminoalcohol ligands diethanolamine (H2dea) and triethanolamine (H3tea) react with [VO(acac)2] to yield the tetranuclear oxovanadium(IV) complexes [{VO(dea)}2{VO(acac)}2(μ2-OMe)2] (1) and [{VO(Htea)}2{VO(acac)}2(μ2-OMe)2] (2). In the case of the potentially bridging aminoalcohol ligands N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine (H4edte) and N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine (H4edtp) the corresponding oxovanadium(IV) complexes could not be isolated. Instead after air oxidation the ligand supported binuclear oxovanadium(V) complexes [{VO(acac)}2(edte)] (3) and [{VO(acac)}2(edtp)] (4) are obtained. The reaction of the ligand H4edtp with ammonium meta-vanadate in methanol solution leads to the methoxy bridged binuclear oxovanadium(V) complex [(VO)2(edtp)(μ2-OMe)2] (5). The tetranuclear oxovanadium(IV) complexes can be isolated as crystalline compounds 1 · 2 MeOH and 2 · 2 MeOH and have been characterized by IR, UV/Vis, and ESR spectroscopy as well as cyclic voltammetry and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Single-crystal diffraction studies reveal that the complexes 1 and 2 contain a tetranuclear {(VO)4(μ3-OR)2(μ2-OR)4}2+ core composed of three different types of edge-shared binuclear units, whereas the oxovanadium(V) complexes 3, 4, and 5 posses binuclear structures, that are either ligand supported as in the case of 3 and 4 or contain a μ2-methoxy bridged{(VO)2(μ2-OR)2}4+ core as in the case of 5. ESR and magnetic data indicate a singlet ground state for 1 · 2 MeOH and 2 · 2 MeOH, although competing ferromagnetic exchange interactions are operative within the tetranuclear core structure. In the solid state compounds 1 · 2 MeOH and 2 · 2 MeOH hydrogen bridged supramolecular structures are found. The hydrogen bonding scheme of both compounds leads to the formation of a similar chain arrangement of the tetranuclear complexes 1 and 2.

    Notes: The violet THF adduct (tBu3Si)2P3Na(THF)4 (1a) of the triphosphide (tBu3Si)2P3Na (1) is prepared, (i) by protolysis of the tetraphosphide (tBu3Si)2P4Na2 (2) with an equimolar amount of CF3CO2H in THF (transformation of 2 into 1), (ii) by the reaction of tBu3SiNa and the oligophosphane (tBu3SiP3)n in THF (building-down of Pn), and (iii) by the action of tBu3SiNa on PCl3 in THF (building-up of Pn). According to X-ray structural analysis, the SiPPPSi skeleton of the anionic part [tBu3SiPPPSitBu3]- of 1a is W-shaped with two P-P 11/2 bonds; in addition, 1a contains a planar deltoid P3Na backbone with the 4 THF molecules coordinated to Na. The protolysis of 1a leads to cyclotriphosphane (tBu3Si)2P3H (11), and the oxidation of 1a leads to 1,1′-bicyclotriphosphane (tBu3Si)2P3-P3(SitBu3)2 (12) as the main product and bicyclo[3.1.0]hexaphosphane (tBu3Si)4P6 (13) as an isomer of 12. The structures of 11, 12, and 13 as well as the structure of 1a have been unambiguously determined by 31P-NMR studies. Ab initio structure and energy calculations show that the acyclic P3H2- with allylic conjugation and P-P 11/2 bonds is thermodynamically more stable than the cyclic isomer whereas, in contrast, the neutral compound P3H3 prefers the cyclic form. The exceptional downfield shift of the NMR signal of the central phosphorus in 1a is in agreement with DFT NMR calculations for a model compound [H3SiPPPSiH3]Na with P-P 11/2 bonds.

    Notes: Hydrozirconation of propyne followed by treatment with propynyllithium yields the (σ-propenyl)(σ-propynyl)zir-conocene complex 11. Its treatment with the organometallic Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 results in transfer of the σ-propynyl group from zirconium to boron followed by insertion of the alkynylborate triple bond into the zirconium carbon bond of the remaining metallaallyl cation to furnish the zirconocene-(μ-hydrocarbyl)borate betaine complex 14. This reacts with three molar equivalents of tert-butyl isocyanide to give 16. Complex 16 contains a five-membered carbocyclic ring, formed by carbon-carbon coupling of the former propenyl and propynyl groups with the C≡N-R reagent, to which a (η2-iminoacyl)(ĸ-tert-butyl isocyanide)zirconocene moiety is attached. Complex 16 was characterized by an X-ray crystal structure analysis.

    Notes: Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) dissolves readily in THF, when the methylene-bridged dialuminium compound R2Al-CH2-AlR2 [R = CH(SiMe3)2] 1 with two coordinatively unsaturated aluminium atoms is added. Compound 1 reacts as a chelating Lewis acid, and, as shown by a crystal structure deter-mination of the [Na([18]crown-6)(Et2O)]+ derivative 5c, a compound (5) is formed, in which one oxygen atom and the nitrogen atom of the nitrite ion are each coordinated by one aluminium atom to form a five-membered Al2CNO hetero-cycle. The second oxygen atom of the nitrite anion is not affected. Similarly, lithium nitrate (LiNO3) reacts with 1 to yield a THF soluble product (6a). Single crystals were obtain-ed of the [Li(N,N′,N′′-trimethyltriazinane)2]+ derivative 6c, whose structure shows each aluminium atom to be coordinated by one oxygen atom of the nitrate ion to give a six-membered Al2CNO2 heterocycle.

    Notes: A series of heterobimetallic complexes [{Ru(bipy)2}m-AA{Cu(phen)(H2O)}](PF6)3 (m-AA = Nω-(4-carbonyl-4′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridyl)-L-α,ω-diamino acid; diamino acid (AA): 1b, L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid; 2b, L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid; 3b, L-ornithine, 4b, L-lysine) has been synthesized and characterized starting from the 2,2′-bipyridineruthenium(II)-substituted amino acids [{Ru(bipy)2}m-AA-αN-tBoc]2+ (αN-tBoc-1a-4a, αN-tBoc = Nα-tert-butoxycarbonyl). The metal centers in 1b-4b are bridged by insulating alkyl chains. Consequently, spectroscopic and electrochemical investi-gations confirmed the absence of any appreciable ground-state coupling between ruthenium(II) and copper(II). However, the luminescence of 1b-4b is significantly quenched compared to that of the parent compounds 1a-4a. Quenching was found to proceed only intramolecularly and to be most efficient in 1b with the shortest alkyl spacer. Equilibrium constants for the formation of 1b-4b were determined from luminescence titrations of the respective ruthenium-substituted amino acid with [Cu(phen)(NO3)2]. The complexes 2b-4b (K = 1.61-2.08 × 107M-1) were found to be significantly more stable than 1b (K = 5.7 × 106M -1). This is explained by a stronger electrostatic repulsion between the two metal centers in the latter compound.

    Notes: The reaction of lithium[bis(dimethylphosphanyl)(trimethyl-silyl)methanide] Li[(PMe2)2C(SiMe3)] with BeCl2 gave the homoleptic compound Be[(PMe2)2C(SiMe3)]2 (5) with four beryllium-phosphorus bonds constituting a distorted tetrahedron around the beryllium center. The reaction of MgCl2 with Li[(PMe2)2C(SiMe3)] resulted in the formation of the bis-chelate complex Mg[(PMe2)2C(SiMe3)]2 · 2 THF (7), where the distorted cis-octahedral magnesium center is additionally coordinated by two THF ligands. In the reaction of 7 with an additional equivalent of Li[C(PMe2)2(SiMe3)], THF is released and the magnesate anion {Mg[(PMe2)2C-(SiMe3)]3}- (8) was obtained. This compound is not only the first reported hexacoordinated magnesate, but also the first magnesium compound with six magnesium-phosphorus bonds. With CaCl2 and Li[C(PMe2)2(SiMe3)], a heptacoor-dinated complex Ca[(PMe2)2C(SiMe3)]2 · 3 THF (10) with three coordinating THF ligands was isolated. The complexes were characterized using 9Be{1H}-, 31P{1H}-, 1H-, 13C{1H}-NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis and by X-ray diffraction. The neutral compounds are highly soluble in nonpolar solvents.

    Notes: LiBH4 · OEt2 (1) and LiBH4 · O(Me)CMe3 (2) form double-stranded chains in the solid state. While 3 hydrides of the BH4 group in 1 bind to three different Li atoms through Li···H-B interactions, the fourth H atom interacts with three adjacent Li centers. In contrast, in compound 2 there are two single Li···H-B bonds and two doubly bridging hydrogen atoms, the latter again interacting with three lithium centers. Moreover, the arrangements of the ether molecules in 1 and 2 are different. LiBH4 · 2 DME (3) (DME = dimethoxyethane) forms a molecular lattice, in which the BH4- anions are present in Li···H2BH2 bridges. The same structural feature is present in LiBH4 · TG (4) (TG = triglyme = triethylene glycol dimethyl ether), but the TG molecule coordinates to two Li centers through two of its four oxygen atoms in such a manner that a chain structure results. The compound LiBH4 · 3 THF (5) exists as discrete molecules in the lattice. Its BH4- anion is triply bridging to the Li center. In contrast, LiBH4·C3H6O2 (6) (1,3-dioxolane) is polymeric. Due to the presence of two μ22-BH4 groups, a chain of the type ···Li(H2BH2)Li(H2BH2)··· is formed, and the 1,3-dioxolane molecules connect the chains through Li-O coordination to form a three-dimensional array. In spite of the variations in the bonding of the BH4 group to Li centers, the Li atoms are hexacoordinated in 3 to 6 but are heptacoordinated in 1 and 2.

    Notes: Oligobipyridine ligands containing one or two imine bridges were found to form double helicates by treatment with copper(I) or silver(I). The properties of the complexes are similar to those of oxapropylene-bridged oligobipyridines. Titration of a mixture of the bis(bipyridine) and the tris(bipyridine) ligands with silver(I) hexafluorophosphate showed that helicates formed with strict self-recognition.

    Notes: 2,2-Dichloro-1,3-dichalcogena-2-telluroles of sulfur and selenium, C6H4[XTe(Cl)2Y] with X, Y = S, Se, serve as precursors to generate the cation radicals of 1,3-dichalcogena-2-telluroles C6H4[XTeY]+• as well as the corresponding neutral counterparts by means of neutralization-reionization mass spectrometry. These neutral 2-telluroles are intrinsically stable for at least 1 μs in the gas phase. The most abundant fragmentation channel at the neutral and cationic stages is due to loss of atomic tellurium to afford the corresponding benzo-1,2-dichalcogena-cyclobutenes. For the latter, partial isomerization to the related dichalcogena-ortho-quinones is indicated by the mass-spectrometric fragmentation pattern.

    Notes: Rotational barriers and π conjugation effects have been studied in H2X-YR systems (X = Al, B; Y = O, S; R = H, CH3) by means of ab initio calculations at the MP4/6-311G**//MP2/6-311G** level. In non-substituted systems H2X-YH, it is shown that the rotational barrier depends on three factors: (i) π conjugation strength between the X vacant p orbital and the Y p-lone pair; (ii) the opening ability of the Y-valence angle and (iii) a possible direct interaction between X and the Y hydrogen substituent. The conjugation stabilization has been estimated through Valence Bond calculations and is found to decrease in the order BO (22.6 kcal/mol), BS (16.6 kcal/mol), AlO (10.2 kcal/mol), and AlS (8.1 kcal/mol). Study of the methylated systems confirm the results found in unsubstituted species. The most important feature is the location of a deconjugated secondary minimum for H2B-SCH3 species. An acute B-S-C angle (69.6°) is found, thus evidencing a direct H···B agostic interaction with a four-membered (BSCH) heterocycle. To further evidence our analysis, additional calculations have been performed on carbocationic species H2C+-YR (Y = O, S; R = H, CH3) for which the H2C+ moiety is a strong π acceptor. As expected, the C+-O and C+-S conjugation are strong (about 60 kcal/mol). Only two minima have been located for the H2C+-OCH3 species. In the sulfur case, the Potential Energy Surface (PES) is more complicated and six stationary points have been characterized. A strong agostic interaction is found for a secondary deconjugated minimum for which an hydrogen symmetrically bridges the two carbon atoms. A schematic energy profile connecting the various extrema is given for this cationic species.

    Notes: The reaction of n/sec-dibutyl magnesium with 6-methyl-6-phenyl- and 6,6-dicyclopropylfulvene gives the β-hydride transfer products 1,1′-bis(1-phenylethyl)- and 1,1′-bis-(dicyclopropylmethyl)magnesocene, respectively. The latter crystallizes in the eclipsed conformation, whereas the first one shows an anti conformation in the solid state. Dimethyl-magnesium deprotonates 6-methyl-6-phenylfulvene with formation of 1,1′-bis(1-phenylethen-1-yl)magnesocene, which decomposes upon isolation. The deprotonation of 6,6-dicyclopropylfulvene with MgMe2 in thf solution yields [bis(tetrahydrofuran-O)][iro{cyclopropane-1,2′(1′-η5-cyclopentadienyl-1′,3′,3′-tricyclopropyl-1′,2′,3′,3a′-tetrahydropentalene)}-3a′-6′-η2-enyl]magnesium. In the absence of β-hydrogen atoms at the organometallic reagent as well as at the fulvene the addition reaction is the only possible reaction pathway. Thus, one Mg-C bond of MgMe2 adds to tetramethylfulvene to give quantitatively dimeric methylmagnesium ethyltetramethylcyclopentadienide. The bridging methyl groups are sterically shielded against further attack of the fulvene.

    Notes: The reaction of rare earth silylamides Ln[N(SiHMe2)2]3(thf)n [n = 1 for Sc (1a); n = 2 for Y (1b), La (1c), Nd (1d)] with trans-1,2-bis(2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonamido)cyclohexane (H2L, rac-2) in toluene at ambient temperature proceeds via an extended silylamide route, affording highly soluble complexes Sc(L)[N(SiHMe2)2] (3) and Ln(L)[N(SiHMe2)2](thf) (4a-c) in excellent yields. An X-ray crystallographic study performed on the solvent-free, dinuclear yttrium derivative 5 revealed an unusual μ2,η4:η1-coordination of the disulfonamide ligand, involving bridging S=O groups. In solution, equilibria between dimeric and monomeric forms, dependent on the presence of a donor molecule, were observed by NMR techniques.

    Notes: The (η4-1-azabuta-1,3-diene)tricarbonyliron complexes 10 are easily prepared in high yield by condensation of the corresponding arylamines 7 with the cinnamaldehydes 8 and subsequent ultrasound-promoted complexation of the resulting 1-azabuta-1,3-dienes 9 with nonacarbonyldiiron. The complexes 10 are shown to represent excellent reagents for the transfer of the tricarbonyliron fragment onto cyclohexa-1,3-diene (1a). The structural characterization for the complexes 10 is achieved by IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, as well as X-ray crystallography of 10b, 10c, and 10l. Using variable temperature 13C-NMR spectroscopy the fluxionality of the complexes 10a, 10b, 10c, 10e, and 2 is investigated and the activation barrier for the turnstile rotation of the tricarbonyliron fragment is determined. The transfer reaction and the structural factors influencing the transfer of the tricarbonyliron fragment are extensively investigated.

    Notes: The reaction of ethoxyxcarbonyl isothiocyanate with water in the absence of a solvent has yielded the new compound [EtO2CN=CS2C{N(H)CO2Et}{S2CN(H)CO2Et}] (1) in 76% yield that has been isolated in a crystalline form that con-tains one equivalent of ethoxyxcarbonyl isothiocyanate. Compound 1 can be viewed as an adduct of a dimer of EtO2CN=C=S and the dithiocarbamic acid 2. Compound 1 dissociates in solution to yield 2 and free ethoxyxcarbonyl isothiocyanate. Compound 2 can be isolated chromatog-raphically, but it is slowly oxidized when allowed to stand in the open air to form the thiuram disulfide 3. Compounds 1 and 3 were characterized crystallographically. Compound 1 contains an imino-substituted dithietane ring with a dithiocarbamate substitutent bonded to one of the ring carbon atoms. Compound 3 is a thiuram disulfide which has C2 crystallographic symmetry.

    Notes: The triphenylphosphane derivatives 2a and 5, bearing one and two phosphonic ester groups, are accessible in high yields by consecutive Pd-catalyzed P-C coupling reactions of p-bromoiodobenzene with Ph2PH and PhPH2, respectively, and then with diethyl phosphite. Ester hydrolysis yields the highly water-soluble sodium salts of mono- and bis-phosphonated triphenylphosphane, 3a and 6, respectively. On reaction of the p- and m-fluorophenylphosphonic diethyl esters 7a, 7b with Ph2PK and subsequent ester hydrolysis the isomeric disodium (diphenylphosphano)phenylphosphonates 3a, 3b were obtained. The X-ray structure of Ph2P(C6H4-m-PO3Na2) · 5.5 H2O · iPrOH (space group Cmc21) has been determined. In the solid state, it forms a layer structure with hydrophilic (PO32-, H2O, iPrOH) and hydrophobic (Ph2P) compartments, in which the PO32- anionic groups are not engaged in coordination of the sodium cations.

    Notes: The architecture of the tetrapodal pentaamine ligand 2,6-bis(1′,3′-diamino-2′-methylprop-2′-yl)pyridine (pyN4, 1) allows it to coordinate to nickel(II) as a square pyramidal coordination cap. The pyridine nitrogen atom occupies an apical position of the coordination octahedron, while four equivalent pendent primary amino groups occupy the equatorial positions, with a sixth coordination site remaining for a monodentate ligand. Exchange of this ligand is facile, and a series of complexes [(1)NiX]n+ (X = OH2, OClO3, NCS, N3, {Cl-Ni(pyN4)}) has been prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopies (as applicable), and X-ray structure determination. While the solid state structures show varying degrees of distortion of the ligand cap 1 from C2v symmetry, a polynucleating coordination mode has not been observed. The ligand enables the synthesis of dinuclear nickel(II) complexes containing a single bridging ligand, as exemplified by the singly -chloro bridged complex [(1)Ni-Cl-Ni(1)](PF6)3. This complex has an antiferromagnetically coupled ground state of total spin ST = 0, as determined from variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements.

    Notes: Dimerized inidene complexes [(CO)5M-Sn(OR)-M(CO)5]22- (M = Cr, W; R = Et, iPr), 1, are obtained from [{(CO)5M}2SnCl2]2- by different routes. Dimerization occurs via alkoxy-donor tin-acceptor bonding by which a planar Sn2O2 ring is formed. The Sn-{M(CO)5} bonds are made in a plane vertical to this ring such that, with the R-O groups being almost coplanar with the Sn2O2 ring, the overall geometry of the compounds shows idealized D2h symmetry. - The 119Sn-NMR resonances of 1 are found at rather low fields (M = Cr: δ ≈ 1400; M = W: δ ≈ 1170) indicating a low-lying tin-centered orbital in the LUMO range. Correspondingly EHT analyses show that the 3-center-4π system, which characterizes monomeric inidene species [LnM-E(X)-MLn]n, is still prevalent in the dimeric species 1. The low-lying π*-type LUMOs of 1 are the rationale for the observed 119Sn-NMR low-field shifts of 1. The dimeric compounds 1 react with 2,4-pentanedione to form chelate compounds of the same type as those characteristically obtained from monomeric inidene complexes: [{(CO)5Cr}2SnOEt]22- (1a) reacts to give [{(CO)5Cr}2Sn(acac)]- (2). The experimental results are verified by X-ray analyses in addition to the usual spectroscopic and analytical investigations.
