Binary mixtures of water and acetonitrile (W/AN) were characterized in the light of the pure solvent scales, using suitable probe/homomorph couples. Various thermodynamic (vapour pressure, softness parameter, excess molar Gibbs energy and enthalpy of mixing) properties, surface tension, viscosity, and spectroscopic (IR, Raman and NMR) properties of the mixtures, and the distribution of molecular structures (viz. free CH3CN and CH3CN-H2O complexes) are described in terms of their polarity, acidity and basicity, and the descriptions examined in relation to a potential physical significance.

The Co(III) complexes of N,N'-bis(2-mercaptophenyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (PyPSH(4)), a designed pentadentate ligand with built-in carboxamide and thiolate groups, have been synthesized and studied to gain insight into the role of Cys-S oxidation in Co-containing nitrile hydratase (Co-NHase). Reaction of [Co(NH(3))(5)Cl]Cl(2) with PyPS(4)(-) in DMF affords the thiolato-bridged dimeric Co(III) complex (Et(4)N)(2)[Co(2)(PyPS)(2)] (1). Although the bridged structure is quite robust, reaction of (Et(4)N)(CN) with 1 in acetonitrile affords the monomeric species (Et(4)N)(2)[Co(PyPS)(CN)] (2). Oxidation of 2 with H(2)O(2) in acetonitrile gives rise to a mixture which, upon chromatographic purification, yields K(2)[Co(PyPSO(2)(OSO(2))(CN] (3), a species containing asymmetrically oxidized thiolates. The Co(III) metal center in 3 is coordinated to a S-bound sulfinate and an O-bound sulfonate (OSO(2)) group. Upon oxidation with H(2)O(2), 1 affords an asymmetrically oxidized dimer (Et(4)N)(2)[Co(2)(PyPS(SO(2)))(2)] (4) in which only the terminal thiolates are oxidized to form S-bound sulfinate groups while the bridging thiolates remain unchanged. The thiolato-bridge in 4 is also cleaved upon reaction with (Et(4)N)(CN) in acetonitrile, and one obtains (Et(4)N)(2)[Co(PyPS(SO(2)))(CN)] (5), a species that contains both coordinated thiolate and S-bound sulfinate around Co(III). The structures of 1-4 have been determined. The spectroscopic properties and reactivity of all the complexes have been studied to understand the behavior of the Co(III) site in Co-NHase. Unlike typical Co(III) complexes with bound CN(-) ligands, the Co(III) centers in 2 and 5 are labile and rapidly lose CN(-) in aqueous solutions. Since 3 does not show this lability, it appears that at least one thiolato sulfur donor is required in the first coordination sphere for the Co(III) center in such species to exhibit lability. Both 2 and 5 are converted to the aqua complexes [Co(PyPS)(H(2)O)](-) and [Co(PyPS(SO(2))(H(2)O)](-) in aqueous solutions. The pK(a) values of the bound water in these two species, determined by spectrophotometry, are 8.3 +/- 0.03 and 7.2 +/- 0.06, respectively. Oxidation of the thiolato sulfur (to sulfinate) therefore increases the acidity of the bound water. Since 2 and 5 promote hydrolysis of acetonitrile at pH values above their corresponding pK(a) values, it is also evident that a metal-bound hydroxide is a key player in the mechanism of hydrolysis by these model complexes of Co-NHase. The required presence of a Cys-sulfinic residue and one water molecule at the Co(III) site of Co-NHase as well as the optimal pH of the enzyme near 7 suggests that (i) modulation of the pK(a) of the bound water molecule at the active site of the enzyme could be one role of the oxidized Cys-S residue(s) and (ii) a cobalt-bound hydroxide could be responsible for the hydrolysis of nitriles by Co-NHase.

The reaction of [Cr(NCCH(3))(6)](2+) with dioxygen in acetonitrile (MeCN) solution acidified with HBF(4) gave red crystals of the binuclear complex [(CH(3)CN)(5)Cr(OH)Cr(NCCH(3))(5)](BF(4))(5) (1). From the X-ray crystal structure of 1, the Cr-O-Cr angle was found to be 147.5(2) degrees. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1 showed an antiferromagnetic coupling between the two chromium(III) centers with a triplet energy J = 35.9(1) cm(-1). On redissolution of 1 in MeCN, the hydroxo bridge was deprotonated, and a green solution of the complex [(CH(3)CN)(5)CrOCr(NCCH(3))(5)](4+) formed. The electronic absorption spectrum of this solution is very similar to the spectrum of the classical complex [(H(3)N)(5)CrOCr(NH(3))(5)](4+) with intense bands in the UV and near-UV region. From the temperature dependence of the absorption spectrum near 12900 cm(-1), the triplet energy J was found to be 1067(19) cm(-1). The acidity of the hydroxo bridge in 1 is very high with an acid dissociation constant K(a) >> 1 M.

Silica-based stationary phases are commonly used in liquid chromatography, but their surface acidity causes known problems, especially when separating basic compounds. Deleterious effects of free silanols are not fully removed by standard prevention procedures consisting in adding alkylamines or other amino quenchers to the eluents. We found that ionic liquids of the imidazolium tetrafluoroborate class, added to mobile phases at concentrations of 0.5-1.5% (v/v), blocked silanols and provided excellent thin-layer chromatographic separations of strongly basic drugs which were otherwise not eluted, even with neat acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The silanol suppressing potency of imidazolium tetrafluoroborates was demonstrated to markedly exceed that of the standard mobile phase additives, like triethylamine, dimethyloctylamine and ammonia. The proposed new mobile phase additives were also demonstrated to provide reliable lipophilicity parameters of base drug analytes as determined by gradient mode of high-performance liquid chromatography. By applying the readily available and environmentally friendly imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquids, simple and efficient means of improvement of liquid chromatographic analysis of organic bases were elaborated.

The interaction between POCl(3) or POBr(3) and pyridine or DMAP has been reinvestigated to clarify the discrepancies between previously published results concerning the Lewis acidity of phosphoryl halides and their behavior toward pyridine bases. The obtained results show that POCl(3) virtually does not react with pyridine, while it does with 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP), even in SO(2) solution, to yield an ionic compound [(DMAP)(2)PO(2)]Cl.3SO(2) (1.3SO(2)). Its recrystallization from acetonitrile gives [(DMAP)(2)PO(2)]Cl.CH(3)CN (1.CH(3)CN). The POBr(3) reacts readily with both DMAP and pyridine forming the analogous tribromides, [(DMAP)(2)PO(2)]Br(3) (2) and [(py)(2)PO(2)]Br(3) (3), respectively. Treatment of 3 with Me(3)SiOSO(2)CF(3) in acetonitrile solution led to [(py)(2)PO(2)][CF(3)SO(3)].CH(3)CN (4), while the reaction between 1.CH(3)CN and Me(3)SiOPOF(2) gave [(DMAP)(2)PO(2)][PO(2)F(2)] (5). The crystal structures of 1.CH(3)CN, 1.3SO(2), 2, and 4 revealed that all four compounds are ionic containing the distorted tetrahedral cations [(DMAP)(2)PO(2)](+) and [(py)(2)PO(2)](+). Both ions represent a donor-stabilized form of the so far unknown cation [PO(2)](+). The geometry of [(DMAP)(2)PO(2)](+), optimized by density functional calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level, is in good agreement with X-ray structural data. The NBO analysis of natural atomic charges shows an extensive delocalization of the [PO(2)](+) intrinsic positive charge and indicates a contribution of the electrostatic attraction to the formation of N-P donor-acceptor bonds. According to a (31)P NMR study, the reactions of both phosphoryl halides with DMAP proceed via successive formation of the intermediates [(DMAP)POX(2)](+) and (DMAP)PO(2)X to give an equimolar mixture of [(DMAP)(2)PO(2)](+) and PX(5) (X = Cl, Br) as the end products. The NMR spectroscopic identification of the cations [(DMAP)POX(2)](+) and [(DMAP)(2)PO(2)](+) was supported by ab initio calculations of their chemical shifts.

A high-throughput, UV-detection PAMPA (parallel artificial membrane permeability assay) cosolvent procedure is described, based on the use of 20% v/v acetonitrile in aqueous buffer. A training set of 32 drugs (17 bases, 13 acids, 2 ampholytes) was studied both in aqueous buffer and in cosolvent-buffer solutions. A procedure was devised, where intrinsic permeability values, log P(o)(COS), measured in cosolvent solution, are converted to values expected under cosolvent-free conditions, using an in silico model based on Abraham H-bond acidity (alpha) and basicity (beta) descriptors, developed with the Algorithm Builder computer program, to obtain aqueous intrinsic permeability values: log P(o)=0.738+0.885 log P(o)(COS)-1.262alpha+0.436beta, r(2)=0.97, q(2)=0.96, s=0.38, n=32, F=279. Five sparingly-soluble weak bases (solubility <1 microg/ml), which could not be characterized without cosolvent, had their aqueous intrinsic permeability, P(o), estimated: miconazole 0.32 cm/s; itraconazole 3.2 cm/s; amiodarone 13 cm/s; tamoxifen 28 cm/s; terfenadine 162 cm/s.

The deprotonation of pentacarbonyl[(3-diethylamino-2,4-dimethyl)cyclobut-2-ene-1-ylidene]chromium (1d) and pentacarbonyl[(3-diethylamino-4-methyl-2-phenyl)cyclobut-2-ene-1-ylidene]chromium (1e) leads to antiaromatic conjugate anions by virtue of their being cyclobutadiene derivatives. Rate constants for the deprotonation of 1d and 1e by P2-Et and pKa values were determined in acetonitrile. Gas-phase B3LYP calculations of 1d, 1e, and their respective conjugate anions, using a generalized basis set, were also performed. Furthermore, for purposes of comparison with carbene complexes of similar structures, but having conjugate anions that are not antiaromatic, corresponding calculations were performed on pentacarbonyl[3-diethylamino-2,5-dimethyl)cyclopent-2-ene-1-ylidene]chromium (5), [dimethylamino(methyl)carbene]pentacarbonylchromium (3a), and [dimethylamino(iso-propyl)carbene]pentacarbonylchromium (3b) and their respective conjugate anions, and solution-phase pKa and kinetic measurements were carried out for 3a and 3b. Major points of interest include the effect of antiaromaticity on the kinetic and thermodynamic acidities of 1d and 1e, the large effect of the phenyl group on the gas-phase acidity of 1e, the strong attenuation of the acidities and the effect of the phenyl group in acetonitrile, and the position of the C=C double bonds in the cyclobutadiene ring of the conjugate anion of 1e.

Polydentate ligands (6-R1-2-pyridylmethyl)-R2(R1= NHCOtBu, R2= bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine L1, bis(2-(methylthio)ethyl)amine L2 and N(CH2CH2)2S L3) form mononuclear zinc(II) complexes with intramolecular amide oxygen coordination and a range of coordination environments. Thus, the reaction of Zn(ClO4)2.6H2O with L1-3 in acetonitrile affords [(L)Zn](ClO4)2(L=L1, 1; L2, 2) and [(L3)Zn(H2O)(NCCH3)](ClO4)2 3. The simultaneous amide/water binding in resembles the motif that has been proposed to be involved in the double substrate/nucleophile Lewis acidic activation and positioning mechanism of amide bond hydrolysis in metallopeptidases. X-ray diffraction, 1H and 13C NMR and IR data suggests that the strength of amide oxygen coordination follows the trend 1>2 >3. L1-3 and undergo cleavage of the tert-butylamide upon addition of Me4NOH.5H2O (1 equiv.) in methanol at 50(1)degrees C. The rate of amide cleavage follows the order 1> 2>> 3, L1-3. The extent by which the amide cleavage reaction is accelerated in 1-3 relative to the free ligands, L1-3, is correlated with the strength of amide oxygen binding and Lewis acidity of the zinc(II) centre in deduced from the X-ray, NMR and IR studies.

The alkoxides TpPh,MeZn-OR (R = Me, Et, i-Pr) undergo acid-base reactions with all hydrogen compounds whose acidity is higher than that of the corresponding alcohol ROH. Thus, anion exchange occurs with the common acids acetic acid, acetohydroxamic acid, acetylacetone, phenol, and ethylmercaptan. Alkoxide exchange is observed using methanol, ethanol, and trifluoroethanol. With the NH acids cyanamide, trifluoroacetamide, and pyrazoles, the corresponding anions are attached to zinc, and likewise beta- and gamma-lactams, a thiazolidinedione, and the cyclic sulfimide saccharin are deprotonated. Of the CH acids acetonitrile forms the Tp*Zn-cyanomethanide. Acetone is deprotonated by the cyanomethanide complex and incorporated as the Tp*Zn-beta-ketoiminate.

A series of iron(III) complexes of the tetradentate ligand BPMEN (N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine) were prepared and structurally characterized. Complex [Fe(2)(mu-O)(mu-OH)(BPMEN)(2)](ClO(4))(3) (1) contains a (mu-oxo)(mu-hydroxo)diiron(III) diamond core. Complex [Fe(BPMEN)(urea)(OEt)](ClO(4))(2) (2) is a rare example of a mononuclear non-heme iron(III) alkoxide complex. Complexes [Fe(2)(mu-O)(mu-OC(NH(2))NH)(BPMEN)(2)](ClO(4))(3) (3) and [Fe(2)(mu-O)(mu-OC(NHMe)NH)(BPMEN)(2)](ClO(4))(3) (4) feature N,O-bridging deprotonated urea ligands. The kinetics and equilibrium of the reactions of 1 with ligands L (L = water, urea, 1-methylurea, 1,1-dimethylurea, 1,3-dimethylurea, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylurea, and acetamide) in acetonitrile solutions were studied by stopped-flow UV-vis spectrophotometry, NMR, and mass spectrometry. All these ligands react with 1 in a rapid equilibrium, opening the four-membered Fe(III)(mu-O)(mu-OH)Fe(III) core and forming intermediates with a (HO)Fe(III)(mu-O)Fe(III)(L) core. The entropy and enthalpy for urea binding through oxygen are DeltaH degrees = -25 kJ mol(-1) and DeltaS degrees = -53.4 J mol(-1) K(-1) with an equilibrium constant of K(1) = 37 L mol(-1) at 25 degrees C. Addition of methyl groups on one of the urea nitrogen did not affect this reaction, but the addition of methyl groups on both nitrogens considerably decreased the value of K(1). An opening of the hydroxo bridge in the diamond core complex [Fe(2)(mu-O)(mu-OH)(BPMEN)(2)] is a rapid associative process, with activation enthalpy of about 60 kJ mol(-1) and activation entropies ranging from -25 to -43 J mol(-1) K(-1). For the incoming ligands with the -CONH(2) functionality (urea, 1-methylurea, 1,1-dimethylurea, and acetamide), a second, slow step occurs, leading to the formation of stable N,O-coordinated amidate diiron(III) species such as 3 and 4. The rate of this ring-closure reaction is controlled by the steric bulk of the incoming ligand and by the acidity of the amide group.
