The reactionsbetween antimony(v) chloride and the monocyclopentadienyl metal trichlorides of Group 4 (CpMC13for M= Ti, Zr and Hf) in acetonitrile solution have afforded new hexachloroantimonatesalts. These cationic metal- containing products have been isolated and characterisedusing IR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis, and in two cases, X-ray crystallography. The analogous pentamethylcyclopentadienyl(Cp*) systems have also been investigated, with largely similar results. Depending on the stoichiometry employed in the reaction, the relevant mono-, di- and tri-cationic complexescan be formed via halide exchange.

  • A Novel Series of Titanocene Dichloride Derivatives: Synthesis, Characterization and Assessment of Their
    A novel series of titanocene dichloride derivatives: synthesis, characterization and assessment of their cytotoxic properties by Gregory David Potter A thesis submitted to the Department of Chemistry in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada May, 2008 Copyright © Gregory David Potter, 2008 Abstract Although cis-PtCl2(NH3)2 (cisplatin) has been widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent, its use can be accompanied by toxic side effects and the development of drug resistance. Consequently, much research has been focused on the discovery of novel transition metal compounds which elicit elevated cytotoxicities coupled with reduced toxic side effects and non-cross resistance. Recently, research in this lab has focused on preparing derivatives of titanocene dichloride (TDC), a highly active chemotherapeutic agent, with pendant alkylammonium groups on one or both rings. Earlier results have demonstrated that derivatives containing either cyclic or chiral alkylammonium groups had increased cytotoxic activities. This research therefore investigated a new series of TDC complexes focusing specifically on derivatives bearing cyclic and chiral alkylammonium groups. A library of ten cyclic derivatives and six chiral derivatives were synthesized and fully characterized. These derivatives have undergone in vitro testing as anti-tumour agents using human lung, ovarian, and cervical carcinoma cell lines (A549, H209, H69, H69/CP, A2780, A2780/CP and HeLa). These standard cell lines represent solid tumour types for which new drugs are urgently needed. The potencies of all of the Ti (IV) derivatives varied greatly (range from 10.8 μM - >1000 μM), although some trends were observed. In general, the dicationic analogues exhibited greater potency than the corresponding monocationic derivatives.

    - 1 - Hafnium Nitrate Precursor Synthesis and HfO2 Thin Film Deposition WEIWEI ZHUANG,1 JOHN F. CONLEY,1 YOSHI ONO,1 DAVID R. EVANS1 AND R. SOLANKI2 1Sharp Laboratories of America, 5700 Pacific Rim Blvd Camas, WA 98607 2Oregon Graduate Institute, Beaverton, OR, 97006 The paper will introduce a simple new method on the synthesis of both hafnium and zirconium nitrate precursors. The intermediate product, dinitrogen pentoxide produced from the water extraction from fume nitric acid via phosphorus pentoxide, was condensed by liquid nitrogen trap into a flask equipped with hafnium or zirconium tetrachloride. To give the high yield, the mixture of fume nitric acid and phosphorus pentoxide was heated to a certain temperature, from which large quantity of dinitrogen pentoxide had been generated. In the following step, hafnium or zirconium tetrachloride was refluxed over dinitrogen pentoxide at 30 to 35 oC for half- hour. The product was purified by sublimation. High yield, above 95%, was obtained. The cost for the hafnium nitrate precursor synthesis was estimated. The precursor was not stable at room temperature, and should be stored in refrigerator in sealed vials. No chlorine was detected from both EDS and chemical analysis. The volatility was evaluated by thermal gravity analysis. For high k thin film applications, the precursors were evaluated through the hafnium oxide thin film deposition via ALD process. High quality hafnium oxide thin films were obtained. The hafnium oxide thin film property consistence using different batches of our synthesized hafnium nitrate precursor was also verified. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated the films were smooth, uniform, amorphous as deposited and monoclinic after post annealing.

ALFREDSON October 1970 ISBN 0 642 99394 7 AUSTRALIAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION RESEARCH ESTABLISHMENT LUCAS HEIGHTS REVIEW OF PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HAFNIUM-FREE ZIRCONIUM by Dc ROYSTON Pa G, A.LFREDSON ABSTRACT The three main industrial processes for the production of hafnium-free zirconium are described in terms of their head-end,, zirconium-hafnium separation and zirconium metal forming steps. Possible improvements and alternative processes are outlined. Zirconium-hafnium separation schemes based on selective reduction of the chlorides or distillation and sublimation techniques show the most promise for future development in competition with the established hexone-thiocyanate and TBP-nitric acid solvent extraction schemes. Head-end steps involving direct chlorination of zircon in fluidised beds or caustic fusion and metal production via electrowinning warrant further development. CONTENTS Page 1. INTRODUCTION 1 2.

  • XXI. Syntheses of Etheno-Bridged Ansa-Titanocene Derivatives by The
    207 ansa-Metallocene derivatives XXI *. Syntheses of etheno-bridged ansa-titanocene derivatives by the McMurry reaction Peter Burger and Hans H. Brintzinger * Fakultiit fur Chemie, Universitiit Konstanz, Postfach 5560, W-7750 Konstanz (Germany) Abstract Novel olefin-linked biscylopentadienylligands have been prepared by McMurry coupling reactions of benzoyl- and acetyl-cyclopentadienyl sodium. Reactions of the disodium salts with TiC1 4 or TiCl 3 • 3THF afford the alkene-bridged ansa-titanocene dichlorides. 13C-NMR shifts of the bridge carbon atoms do not indicate any interaction between the olefin 'IT-system and the metal. Introduction Chiral ansa-metallocenes of Group IV metals (of current interest as Ziegler-Natta catalysts for stereospecific a-olefin polymerisation [2-5]) with various types of interannular bridges X (a-f) (Fig. 1) have been synthesized. ansa-Metallocenes with long and flexible bridges, i.e. a and d, possess low stereorigidity. Increased distances between the bridge-head carbon atoms due to steric requirements of the bridge-atoms give rise to larger centroid-metal-centroid angles than in the corresponding un­ bridged metallocenes [4,8,9]. Dimethylsilyl- (c) and methylene- (f) linked biscyclo­ pentadienyl metal dichlorides, on the other hand, are very stereorigid but rather strained [4,6,7,14,15]. The geometry of ethano-bridged metallocenes (e) is almost identical to that of their unbridged congeners. The cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings are staggered owing to an inclination of the C-C bond of the ethano bridge relative to the CI-M-Cl bisector plane. This gives rise to two enantiomeric forms, l) and A, both of which have been characterized by X-ray crystallographic studies [13,16,17].
