A photoinitiated intermolecular electron-proton transfer reaction in 2-aminopyridine dimer was investigated by femtosecond pump-probe electron-ion coincidence spectroscopy and accompanying theory. Excited-state population dynamics were observed in real time by time-resolved mass spectroscopy, and the respective excited-state character of locally excited and proton/hydrogen transfer states was identified in coincident electron spectra. Two reaction channels for an ultrafast (sub-50 fs) and a slower (approximately 75 ps) proton/hydrogen transfer were observed and indicate that vibrational energy redistribution may lead to efficient population trapping in the excited state. Spectroscopic evidence of an unexpected hydrogen-transfer reaction in photoexcited aminopyridine monomer is also presented.

Palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes featuring metalla-N-heterocyclic carbenes (7-12) were synthesised metal-mediated coupling between equimolar -[MCl(CNR)] (R = 2,6-MeCH (Xyl), 2,4,6-MeCH (Mes)) and 2-aminopyridine or 2-aminopyrazine. Thiocyanate complexes 13-18 with two thiocyanate ligands were obtained through the ligand exchange in the parent compounds 7-12 with NHCNS in acetone/CHCl. Complexes 7-18 were isolated and characterised by HRESI-MS, IR, H and C{H} NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (in the case of 11, 16, and 18).

We present a theoretical investigation of the excited-state intermolecular proton transfer process in a 2-aminopyridine dimer. Previous experimental and theoretical studies on this doubly hydrogen bonded system have attributed an ultrafast 50 fs timescale to the process at low excitation wavelengths and have shown that it involves access to the charge transfer (CT) states of the dimer. We have carried out a trajectory-based surface hopping study of the proton transfer process.

Novel PNN' & P2NN' ligands based on 2-aminopyridine (APyPNN-R) R = Ph (1a), Cy (1b), iBu (1c), 8-aminoquinoline (AQPNN-R) R = Ph (2a), Cy (2b), iBu (2c), iPr (2d), and 2-picolylamine (P2NN-R) R = Ph (3a), Cy (3b), iBu (3c), have been synthesized via a versatile, one-pot, single-step, reductive amination of tertiary phosphine acetaldehydes with the amine by reaction with STAB (where STAB is sodium(triacetoxy)borohydride). Ligands 1b and 1c bridge between paramagnetic Co(ii) and form dimeric complexes Co2Cl4(APyPNN-R)2 (4 and 5) when reacted with cobalt dichloride. Ligands 2a-c coordinate in a tridentate fashion forming chelate complexes MCl2(AQPNN-R) M = Co(ii) (6-8), and, for 2d, the Fe(ii) complex FeCl2(AQPNN-iPr) (9).

The structures of four salt forms of sulfadiazine (SDH) with alkali metal cations are presented. Three contain the deprotonated SD anion (CHNOS). These are the discrete complex diaqua{4-[(pyrimidin-2-ylazanidyl-κN)sulfonyl-κO]aniline}lithium(I), [Li(SD)(HO)], (I), and the coordination polymers poly[{μ-4-[(pyrimidin-2-ylazanidyl)sulfonyl]aniline}sodium(I)], [Na(SD)], (II), and poly[diaqua{μ-4-[(pyrimidin-2-ylazanidyl)sulfonyl]aniline}potassium(I)], [K(SD)(HO)], (III).
