Abstract:
Starting from eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) three new quinoline derivatives, namely 5-bromo-7-(carboxymethoxy)-6-hydroxy-1-methylquinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate (Q2, C12H10BrNO7S), 5-amino-7-(carboxymethoxy)-6-hydroxyquinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate (Q4, C11H10N2O7S) and 7-(carboxymethoxy)-5,6-dihydroxylquinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate (Q6, C11H9NO8), have been synthesized and crystallised as dihydrate. The best planes through the quinoline ring and the carboxymethoxy substituent is 6.60 (14), 7.28 (6) and 4.73 (7)° for Q2, Q4 and Q6, respectively. The crystal packing of Q2 is characterised by O-H…O, π …π and Br …pyridine interactions. The two water molecules bridge three sulphate groups. Infinite chains of Q4 running in the direction [021] are formed by O/N-H …O hydrogen bonds at both ends of the molecule. Parallel chains interact by O/N-H…O hydrogen bonds and π…π and C=O…phenyl stacking. The -NH2 substituent bridges two sulphate groups, while the two water molecules bridge the other functional groups. The packing of Q6 consists of sheets of molecules interaction through O/N-H…O hydrogen bonds while the two water molecules bridge all function groups present. Parallel sheets interact through π…π and C=O…pyridine stacking. An aqueous solution of Q2 and its precursor 7-(carboxymethoxy)-6-hydroxyquinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate (Q) exhibits fluorescence which is pH dependent. The fluorescence intensity of a 10 μM solution of Q containing Zn2+ reaches its maximum for a [Zn2+]:[Q] ratio of 1:1. The fluorescence properties of Q, Q2, Q4 and Q6 were further investigated by DFT calculation methods.

For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
