ABSTRACT
An efficient three step synthesis of (benzoxazol-2-ylmethyl)phosphonic acid (6-H(2)) is described along with IR, mass spectrometry (MS), and (1)H, (13)C, and (31)P NMR spectroscopic characterization data, and a single crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination. 6-H(2) is unstable in acidic aqueous solutions (pH < 4) undergoing ring-opening to give [(2-hydroxyphenylcarbamoyl)methyl] phosphonic acid (7-H(2)) that is characterized by IR, MS, and NMR methods. The protonation constants (pK(a)) for 7-H(2) have been measured, and crystal structure determinations for (NH(4))(7-H) and K(7-H)·DMF are described. Reactions of NaOH and KOH with 6-H(2) in MeOH/H(2)O solutions led to isolation and crystal structure determinations of the salts [Na(6-H)·H(2)O](2), K(6-H), Na(3)(6)(6-H)·H(2)O, and [K(2)(6)](2)·3H(2)O. The complexation reactions of 7-H(2) with La(III), Nd(III), and Gd(III), as a function of pH, were also examined by titrametric methods, and a model for the 1:1 anion binding with Ln(III) cations is proposed.

A synthetic route for the formation of 2-[bis(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)phosphinoylmethyl]pyridine N-oxide (1c) and 2-[bis(3,5-trifluoromethylphenyl)phosphinoylmethyl]pyridine N-oxide (1d) was developed and the new ligands characterized by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The coordination chemistry of 1c was examined with Yb(NO3)3 and the molecular structure of one complex, [Yb(1c)(NO3)3(DMF)].DMF.0.5H2O, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The ligand is found to coordinate in a bidentate fashion, and this is compared against lanthanide coordination chemistry observed for the related ligand, [Ph2P(O)CH2] C5H4NO.
ABSTRACT
Phosphinoyl Grignard-based substitutions on 2,6-bis(chloromethyl)pyridine followed by N-oxidation of the intermediate 2,6-bis(phosphinoyl)methylpyridine compounds with mCPBA give the target trifunctional ligands 2,6-bis[bis(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)phosphinoylmethyl]pyridine 1-oxide (2a) and 2,6-bis[bis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)phosphinoylmethyl]pyridine 1-oxide (2b) in high yields. The ligands have been spectroscopically characterized, the molecular structures confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods, and the coordination chemistry surveyed with lanthanide nitrates. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses are described for the coordination complexes Nd(2a)(NO(3))(3), Nd(2a)(NO(3))(3) x (CH(3)CN)(0.5), Eu(2a)(NO(3))(3), and Nd(2b)(NO(3))(3) x (H(2)O)(1.25); in each case the ligand binds in a tridentate mode to the Ln(III) cation. These structures are compared with the structures found for lanthanide coordination complexes of the parent NOPOPO ligand, [Ph(2)P(O)CH(2)](2)C(5)H(3)NO.
