Aim and Objective: Pyrazolone sulfones have been reported to exhibit herbicidal and antibacterial activities. In spite of their good bioactivities, only a few methods have been developed to prepare pyrazolone sulfones. However, the substrate scope of these methods is limited. Moreover, the direct sulfonylation of pyrazolone by aryl sulfonyl chloride failed to give pyrazolone sulfones. Thus, developing a more efficient method to synthesize pyrazolone sulfones is very important. Materials and Method: Pyrazolone, aryl sulphonyl hydrazide, iodine, p-toluenesulphonic acid and water were mixed in a sealed tube, which was heated to 100°C for 12 hours. The mixture was cooled to 0°C and m-CPBA was added in batches. The mixture was allowed to stir for 30 min at room temperature. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford sulfuryl pyrazolone. Results: In all cases, the sulfenylation products were formed smoothly under the optimized reaction conditions, and were then oxidized to the corresponding sulfones in good yields by 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) in water. Single crystal X-ray analysis of pyrazolone sulfone 4aa showed that the major tautomer of pyrazolone sulfones was the amide form instead of the enol form observed for pyrazolone thioethers. Moreover, the C=N double bond isomerized to form an α,β-unsaturated C=C double bond. Conclusion: An efficient method to synthesize pyrazolone thioethers by iodine-catalyzed sulfenylation of pyrazolones with aryl sulfonyl hydrazides in water was developed. Moreover, this method was employed to synthesize pyrazolone sulfones in one-pot by subsequent sulfenylation and oxidation reactions.

Configuration on the C=N double bond of amidines and amidoximes is controlled by steric effects on the second nitrogen atom but there is a difference in the case of N’-monosubstituted derivatives: amidines prefer E configuration (conformation around the C-N bond sp) and amidoximes Z configuration (conformation ap). This was confirmed by the X-ray structures of two analogous model compounds N,N’-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzamidine (monoclinic, P21c, a = 10.855(3), b = 11.043(3), c = 8.593(3) Å, β = 105.69(2)°, V = 991.8(5) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.29 g cm-3, CuKα, λ = 1.5418 Å, μ = 7.91 cm-1, F(000) = 408, T = 291 K, R = 0.065 for 1 265 observed reflections) and N’-methyl-4-nitrobenzamidoxime (monoclinic, P21/a, a = 6.699(2), b = 24.178(9), c = 6.075(2) Å, β = 106.20(3)°, V = 944.9(6) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.37 g cm-3, CuKα, λ = 1.5418 Å, μ =9.22 cm-1, F(000) = 408, T = 291 K, R = 0.079 for 1 278 observed reflections).

ABSTRACTStudies of the mixed-metal interface in metal impregnated alumina have indicated the possibility of much metal-metal and metal-substrate interaction. Studies were carried out on NiCu/Al2O3 system which was evaluated to develop a better understanding of the forces that drive modification of the catalytic selectivity of Ni in the presence of Cu. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Powder X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and theoretical calculations were carried out on this bimetallic system, using Ni,Ag/Al2O3 as a reference as Ni shows negligible electron perturbation on co-adsorbance with Ag onto alumina. XRD results indicate that gross modification of the electronic fields of Ni and Cu are due to direct coupling and intercalation into the alumina matrix. As a result of this phenomena, these materials may form a good base for the development of novel ceramics based on mixed-metal interactions where the intermetallic perturbations are driven by the substrate effects.

An X-ray diffraction study of [Pt3S2(PMe2Ph)6][BEt4]2 shows that it crystallises in the monoclinic space group, C2/c, with a = 15.447(2), b = 18.033(3), c = 26.505(5) Å, β = 96.73(2)°. The cation consists of three, distorted, square-planar cis-PtS2(PMe2Ph)2 moieties combined by sharing of the two sulphur atoms to produce a central Pt3S2 unit with C2 symmetry and Pt—Pt distances of 3.182(1) Å (one edge) and 3.108(1) Å (two edges). Complete analysis and computer simulation of 31P{1H} and 195Pt{1H} nuclear magnetic resonance spectra give values for 1J(Pt—P), 3202 Hz; 3J(Pt—P), −25 Hz; and 2J(Pt—Pt), 476 Hz. The structure is compared with previous results for analogous Ni and Pd complexes and the structural and nmr parameters are discussed with reference to the possibility of metal–metal interactions.

Thermal behavior of the complexes Pd2(dppm)2Cl2, Pd2(dppm)2(SnCl3)Cl and Pd2(dppm)2(SnCl3)2 (dppm = bis[diphenylphosphino(methane)], ((C6H5)2PCH2P(C6H5)2) in the solid state and immobilized onto porous Vycor glass was studied. Similar decomposition mechanisms were observed for the solid and immobilized complexes, with a small thermal stabilization upon immobilization. The decomposition products were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, Raman and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy, which indicated the presence of a mixture of metallic palladium and oxidized species such as PdO,condensed phosphates, SnO2 and SnP2O7. According to X-ray diffractometry, the decomposition products of the immobilized complexes presented higher amounts of PdO than the solid-state residues, probably as an effect of interactions with silanol groups present in the glass surface.

11% Pt/C, 10% Pt + 1%Os/C, 9% Pt + 2%Os/C, 8% Pt + 3%Os/C, 7% Pt + 4%Os/C, 6% Pt + 5%Os/C and 5%Pt + 6% Os/C catalysts have been prepared for methanol oxidation reaction. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry have been used to understand the nature of the species present in these catalysts. 7% Pt + 4% Os/C was the most active catalyst, while 8% Pt + 3% Os/C was the least active one. It is found that the metal particle size and distribution on the carbon support, the surface composition and the oxidation states of the metal particles, the metal-metal and metal support interactions are important parameters to define the activity of the catalyst.
