Synthesis and crystal structure of Mn(II) complexes with novel macrocyclic Schiff-base ligands containing piperazine moiety

A series of Mn(II) macrocyclic Schiff-base complexes [MnLⁿCl]⁺ (n = 1–4) have been prepared via the Mn(II) templated [1+1] cyclocondensation of 2,6-diacetylpyridine or 2,6-pyridinedicarbaldehyde with the symmetrical 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine or the novel asymmetrical N,N′(2-aminoethyl)(3-aminopropyl)piperazine linear amines containing piperazine moiety. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, FAB-MS, magnetic studies and conductivity measurements. The crystal structure of [MnL²(CH₃OH)Cl](ClO₄) and [MnL⁴Cl](PF₆) complexes have also been determined showing the metal ion in a N₄OCl pentagonal bipyramidal or N₄Cl highly distorted octahedral geometry, respectively.     

Size and stability of chelate rings in coordination compounds of cobalt(II), manganese(II), iron(III) and palladium(II) with vicinal oxime-imine ligands

Summary Two types of the Co^II complexes L¹Co (H₂L¹=N,N-ethylenebis(isonitrosoacetylacetoneimine) were prepared. In type (a) the chelate rings are five-membered whereas in type (b) they are six-membered. The type (b) complexes were converted to type (a) in refluxing solutions. Half-ionization of the ligand is observed in the complexes HL¹ Co(O₂CMe) and HL¹MnCl, where the chelate rings are five- and six-membered respectively. The octahedral complex L¹FeCl·H₂O has chelate rings of type (a) as does the complex L²Co (H₂L²=unsymmetric Schiff baseN,N-ethylene(isonitrosoacetylacetoneimineacetylacetoneimine). Twocis complexes (L_a ²L_b ³)Pd and (L_a ³)₂Pd are characterized (HL³=isonitrosoacetylacetoneimine, (a) and (b) denote the type of chelate ring). Structures for the metal complexes and the sizes of the chelate rings are suggested on the basis of analytical and spectral evidence.     

Synthesis,characterization and X-ray crystal structures of two non-molecular coordination polymers of manganese(II) and copper(II) with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2-pyridylmethyl)-<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-alanine and isothiocyanato ligands

The reduced Schiff base, N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-l-alanine (Pyala), has been prepared and used as a ligand for the synthesis of two new non-centrosymmetrical isothiocyanate mixed-ligand coordination polymers, [MnPyalaSCN] _n and [CuPyalaSCN] _n . Pyala and the metal complexes were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The single-crystal X-ray structures of the complexes reveal both compounds to be non-molecular coordination polymers which crystallize in the orthorhombic system. The ligand acts as a bridge between two metal centres in both compounds, forming two six-membered rings around each Mn atom and two five-membered rings around each Cu centre. The 1D chains are assembled via N–H?O, N–H?S hydrogen bonds and S–S interactions building 3D helical supramolecular networks in both compounds. Packing of the polymers of both compounds along the b-axis gives chiral channels.     

Calculation of geometric parameters of macrocyclic metal chelates formed by template synthesis in tertiary systems M(II) ion-ethanedithioamide-formaldehyde-ammonia

The geometric parameters of macrotricyclic Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes with 2,8-dithio-3,5,7-triazanonanedithioamide-1,9 with the (N,N,S,S) coordination of the chelant donor centers (formed by template synthesis in the M(II)-ethanedithioamide-formaldehyde-ammonia system) have been calculated by the hybrid B3LYP density functional theory method with the use of the 6-31G(d) basis set and the Gaussian 98 program package. The bond lengths and bond angles in the complexes with the MN₂S₂ coordination core have been reported. Calculations demonstrated that in none of the complexes are the five-membered chelate rings planar and that these rings in the Zn(II) complex are significantly different. For all M(II) ions under consideration, an additional six-membered chelate ring resulting from template cross-linking is turned at a rather large angle to the two five-membered rings and this ring itself is nonplanar.     

Chemical Transformations of (2,3,9,10-Tetramethyl-1,4,5,7,8,11,12,14-Octa-Azacyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-Tetraenato)Cobalt(II)Perchlorate

The monomeric octa-aza bis-α-diimine macrocyclic complex [Co^II(C₁₀H₂₀N₈)(H²O)](ClO₄)₂ I, undergoes various reactions on the macrocyclic ligand. Reaction of complex I with triethylamine in double molar proportions, followed by slow aerial oxidation, produces a molecular dimeric complex [Co^II(C₁₀H₁₄N₈)]₂, III, and a novel Co(I) complex [Co^I(C₁₀H₁₉N₈)], IV. Complex III is a staggered cofacial dimer with a cobalt-cobalt bond length 2.86(1) Å. The macrocyclic ligand of the complex contains an a-diimine function in each five-membered chelate ring, and a three-atom N-C-N^? delocalized system in each six-membered chelate ring. Complex IV has the 5-5-6-6 chelate arrangement because one α-diimine moiety is rearranged to a syn-anti configuration. In the structure, the two fused six-membered chelate rings are fully conjugated and the two fused five-membered rings are saturated. However, when complex I reacts with excess triethylamine under the similar conditions, a dimeric complex of another type, [Co^II(C₁₀H_l6N₈)]₂, II, was generated, in which one N-N bond of the macrocyclic ligand is broken. Complex IV can be isolated also from the reaction of complex I with excess hydrazine, followed by slow aerial oxidation. When hydrazine in double molar proportions was used, complex [Co^I(C₁₀H₁₇N₈)(NHNH)] V, which contains a coordinated diazene ligand, was obtained. Only one six-membered chelate ring of complex V is deprotonated and oxidized to form a three-atom N-C-N^? delocalized system. The structures of octa-aza complexes I-V are determined by X-ray crystallography: I, orthorhombic, C mca, a = 11.646(4), b = 17.049(3), c = 10.706(3) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.045, R_w = 0.047, based on 1024 reflections with I > 2σ(I); II, monoclinic, P 2₁/c, a = 9.814(3), b = 22.583(6). c = 14.632(9) Å, β = 98.90(5)°, Z = 4, R = 0.085, R_w = 0.101, based on 2033 reflections with I > 2σ(I); III, tetragonal, P 4/nmm, a = 15.614(3), c = 6.498(2) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.081, R_w = 0.115, based on 340 reflections with I > 2σ(I); IV, orthorhombic, P bca, a = 8.484(1), b = 16.662(3), c = 18.760(2) Å, Z = 8, R = 0.029, R_w = 0.024, based on 1441 reflections with I > 2σ(I); V, monoclinic, P 2₁/m, a = 7.892(3), b = 11.713(6), c = 9.326(4) Å, β = 108.03(3), Z = 2, R = 0.047, R_w = 0.056, based on 948 reflections with I > 2σ(I).     

Structural characterization of the trans-equatorial isomer of (aqua)(ethylenediamine-N,N,N′-tripropionato)chromium(III) trihydrate,[Cr(edtrp)(H2O)] · 3H2O

The structure of trans-equatorial [Cr(edtrp)(H₂O)] · 3H₂O (edtrp^3– is the anion of ethylenediamine-N,N,N-tripropionic acid) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The chromium(III) ion is surrounded octahedrally by the two nitrogen and three oxygen atoms of the quinquedentate edtrp^3–, forming a five-membered diamine ring and the three six-membered -propionato chelate rings. The remaining coordination position is occupied by the H₂O ligand. The crystal structure conformation is compared to the result of recent molecular mechanics analysis. The ring strain of R and G chelate rings was found to be in agreement with the previously proposed mechanisms for the C—N bond cleavage and recombination.     

Calculation of geometric parameters and energies of macrocyclic metal chelates in the ternary M(II) ion-thiocarbamoylmethanamide-formaldehyde systems

The thermodynamic and geometric parameters of isomeric macrotricyclic Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes that can, in principle, be the products of the reaction of corresponding hexacyanoferrates(II) with thiocarbamoylmethanamide H₂N-C(=S)-C(=O)-NH₂ and formaldehyde in gelatin-immobilized matrix implants have been calculated by the hybrid B3LYP density functional theory method with the use of the 6–31G(d) basis set and the Gaussian 98 program package. For any of the M(II) ions under consideration, the most stable complexes have the MN₄ metal chelate cores. The bond lengths and bond angles in these complexes have been reported, and it has been stated that the five-membered chelate rings in the complexes are not strictly planar. The additional six-membered chelate ring resulting from template cross-linking is also nonplanar and, in some cases, is turned at a rather large angle to the five-membered rings.

设计合成了4个新的钴、镍多齿吡啶-胺配合物,[M(L1)](BF₄)₂(L1=N,N,N',N'-四(2-吡啶甲基)-1,2-乙二胺;C1,M=Co;C2,M=Ni)和[M(L2)](BF₄)_n(L2=N,N,N',N'-四(2-吡啶甲基)-1,3-丙二胺;C3,M=Co,n=3;C4,M=Ni,n=2)。利用红外光谱、元素分析和X-射线单晶衍射方法对这些配合物的组成及结构进行了分析和表征。这4个配合物的单晶结构均属于单斜晶系,空间群有所不同(C1为Cc空间群,C2为P2₁/n空间群,C3为C2/c空间群,C4为P2₁/c空间群),并且4个配合物具有不同的三维堆积结构。     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine derivatives. Useful ligands in coordination chemistry

Microwave-assisted synthesis of the ligands N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (BMPA), N-(methylpropanoate)-N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (MPBMPA), N-(propanamide)-N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (PABMPA), PNBMPA (N-(3-propionitrile)-N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), N-(3-aminopropyl)-N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (APBMPA), and lithium N-(proponoate)-N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (LiPBMPA) are reported. High yields and short reaction time were obtained for condensation and Michael addition.     

Syntheses,crystal structures and magnetic properties of three new binuclear Ni(II) complexes derived from tripodal tetradentate (N4) ligands

Three new binuclear Ni(II) complexes [{Ni(L_22py)Cl}₂](ClO₄)₂ (1), [{Ni(L_23py)Cl}₂](ClO₄)₂ (2), and [{Ni(L_33py)Cl}₂](ClO₄)₂ (3), {L_22py = N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,2-diaminoethane, L_23py = N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-diaminopropane, L_33py = N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(3-aminopropyl)-1,3-diaminopropane} have been synthesized. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis showed that in each complex two distorted octahedral Ni(II) ions are bridged asymmetrically by a pair of chloride anions. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1 and 3 revealed dominant ferromagnetic exchange interactions.     

Structural analysis of conformational flexibility in (aqua)(propanediamine- N,N ′-diacetato- N -propionato)chromium(III) dihydrate. Crystal structure of cis -polar,trans (H2O,O5)-[Cr(1,3-pddap)(H2O)]·2H2O

The quinquedentate complex trans(H₂O,O⁵)-[Cr(1,3-pddap)(H₂O)]?·?2H₂O (where 1,3-pddap is the 1,3-propanediamine-N,N?′-diacetate-N-3-propionate ion) was prepared and its structure established by X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna2₁, a?=?17.290(2), b?=?10.821(2), c?=?7.872(1)?Å, Z?=?4. The metal atom is surrounded octahedrally with two nitrogen and three oxygen donors of (1,3-pddap)^3?, forming two six-membered and two five-membered metal chelate rings, and with one water molecule occupying the trans position with respect to the oxygen of the axial glycinate ring. Conformational analysis of the five geometrical isomers of [Cr(1,3-pddap)(H₂O)], performed with the Consistent Force Field (CFF) program and recently developed edta force field, revealed that the global minimum is indeed the trans(H₂O,O⁵) isomer with the geometry in a very good agreement with the crystallographic structure. General patterns for the conformational preferences of edta-type complexes of trivalent first-row transition metals are exposed and discussed.     

Characterization of Copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II) and palladium(II) complexes of vicinal oxime-imine ligands; induced chelate isomerism in the same molecule of the nickel(II) complex

Summary Metal complexes of the title ligands were characterized in order to determine the factors influencing the stability of chelate isomerism in the same molecule. The ligands were prepared by 1:1 condensation of isonitrosoacetylacetone (Hiso) with eithero-aminophenol (H₂ isoaph),p-aminophenol (H₂ isopph), or aniline (Hisoanil). The following complexes have been synthesized: [(isoaph)Cu]₄, (Hisoaph)₂Co, (Hisopph)₂ M·nH₂O (M=Ni(II), n=2;M=Pd(II), n=0;M=Co(II), n=2), [(isopph) Cu·H₂O]₂, and (isoanil)₂ M (M=Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II), or Pd(II)). Both chelate rings in these metal complexes are five-membered. Transimination of one –C=N–C₆H₅ group to –C=NH in (isoanil)₂Ni produced a six-membered chelate ring in (isoim)Ni(isoanil). The induced chelate isomerism is ascribed to intermolecular hydrogen bonding of the imino-hydrogen and the basic nitrogen of the same six-membered chelate ring of an adjacent square planar molecule. Other types of hydrogen bondings with the oximato oxygen (intra- or intermolecular) favour the formation of five-membered chelate rings. Analytical, spectroscopic, and magnetic moment data are in accordance with the suggested formulations.Part of the Ph.D. thesis of Sana M. Imam     

DFT B3LYP calculation of the spatial structure of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) template complexes formed in ternary systems metal(II) ion-dithiooxamide-formaldehyde

The hybrid density functional theory B3LYP method with the 6-31G(d) basis set and the Gaussian 98 program has been used for calculating the geometric parameters of the Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes with NNSS-donor macrocyclic ligands forming in the course of template processes in the M(II)-dithiooxamide-formaldehyde systems. The bond lengths and bond angles in the complexes with the MN₂S₂ metal chelate core are reported. For all M(II) ions, the extra six-membered chelate ring that form as a result of template assembly is rotated through a rather large angle with respect to two five-membered rings and the ring itself is not planar.     

The Indigo Isomer Epindolidione as a Redox-Active Bridging Ligand for Diruthenium Complexes

Epindolidione (H₂L), a heteroatom-modified analogue of tetracene and a structural isomer of indigo, forms dinuclear complexes with [RuX₂]²⁺, X=bpy (2,2′-bipyridine, [ 1 ]²⁺) or pap (2-phenylazopyridine, [ 2 ]²⁺), in its doubly deprotonated bridging form μ-L²⁻. The dications in compounds meso-[ 1 ](ClO₄)₂ and meso-[ 2 ](ClO₄)₂, [X₂Ru(μ-L)RuX₂](ClO₄)₂, contain five-membered chelate rings N-C−C-O-Ru^II with π bridged metals at an intramolecular distance of 7.19 Å. Stepwise reversible oxidation and reduction is mainly ligand centered (oxidation: L²⁻; reduction: X), as deduced from EPR of one-electron oxidized and reduced intermediates and from UV/Vis/NIR spectroelectrochemistry, supported by TD-DFT calculation results. The results for [ 1 ](ClO₄)₂ and [ 2 ](ClO₄)₂ are qualitatively similar to the ones observed with the deprotonated indigo-bridged isomers with their six-membered chelate ring structures, confirming the suitability of both π systems for molecular electronics applications, low-energy absorptions, and multiple electron transfers.

Synthesis, structure, and electrochemical properties of a family of 2-(arylazo)phenolate complexes of ruthenium with unusual C-C coupling and N=N cleavage

Reaction of 2-(4'-R-phenylazo)-4-methylphenols (R = OCH3, CH3, H, Cl, and NO2) with [Ru(dmso)(4)Cl2]affords a family of five ruthenium(III) complexes, containing a 2-(arylazo)phenolate ligand forming a six-membered chelate ring and a tetradentate ligand formed from two 2-(arylazo)phenols via an unusual C-C coupling linking the two ortho carbons of the phenyl rings in the arylazo fragment. A similar reaction with 2-(2'-methylphenylazo)-4-methylphenol with [Ru(dmso)(4)Cl2] has afforded a similar complex, in which one 2-(2'-methylphenylazo)-4-methylphenolate ligand is coordinated forming a six-membered chelate ring, and the other two ligands have undergone the C-C coupling reaction, and the coupled species is coordinated as a tetradentate ligand forming a five-membered N,O-chelate ring, a nine-membered N,N-chelate ring, and another five-membered chelate ring. Reaction of 2-(2',6'-dimethylphenylazo)-4-methylphenol with [Ru(dmso)(4)Cl2] has afforded a complex in which two 2-(2',6'-dimethylphenylazo)-4-methylphenols are coordinated as bidentate N,O-donors forming five- and six-membered chelate rings, while the third one has undergone cleavage across the N=N bond, and the phenolate fragment, thus generated, remains coordinated to the metal center in the iminosemiquinonate form. Structures of four selected complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The first six complexes are one-electron paramagnetic and show rhombic ESR spectra. The last complex is diamagnetic and shows characteristic 1H NMR signals. All the complexes show intense charge-transfer transitions in the visible region and a Ru(III)-Ru(IV) oxidation on the positive side of SCE and a Ru(III)-Ru(II) reduction on the negative side.     

Copper(II) complexes with bis(4-iodo-3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane: Synthesis,spectroscopic study,and crystal structure

New complexes of copper(II) nitrate, chloride, tetrafluoroborate, perchlorate, and perrhenate with bis(4-iodo-3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (L) were obtained. The molecular and crystal structures of [CuL(H₂O)(NO₃)₂] · (CH₃)₂CO, [CuL₂(H₂O)][CuL₂Cl][CuCl₄], [CuL₂](BF₄)₂ · (CH₃)₂CO, and [CuL₂(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ · (CH₃)₂CO were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. In all the complexes, L was found to serve as a chelating bidentate ligand through the N² and N^2′ atoms of its pyrazole rings to form a six-membered chelate ring.     

Models of Molecular Structures of “Template” (5676)Macrotetracyclic 3<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis> M(II) Chelates with a 16-Membered Macrocyclic Ligand according to Density Functional Theory Data

The geometries of (5676)macrotetracyclic Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes with the (NNNN) coordination of the chelant donor sites, formed through template processes in the M(II)–3,3,8,8-tetramethyl-4,7-diazadecanedihydrazone-1,10-butanedione-2,3 systems have been calculated by the DFT OPBE/TZVP method with the Gaussian 09 program package. The bond lengths and angles and selected nonbonded angles in these complexes with the MN₄ chelate core have been determined. It has been demonstrated that none of the chelate rings is planar: the smallest deviation from coplanarity is always observed for the five-membered rings and the largest, for the six-membered rings not identical to each other. The seven-membered ring resulting from the template cross-linking exhibits deviations from coplanarity intermediate between those for the five- and six-membered rings.     

Supramolecular architectures with ladder and lamellar topologies using metal-ligand coordination units via C–H···Cl and O–H···Cl hydrogen bonding

New Mn^II/Cu^II/Zn^II complexes [(L¹)MnCl₂] (1), [(L²)CuCl₂]·0.5H₂O (2) and [(L²)ZnCl(H₂O)][ClO₄] (3), containing (2-pyridyl)alkylamine ligands, N-methyl-N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (L¹) and methyl[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl](2-pyridylmethyl)amine (L²), have been prepared and characterized, including X-ray crystallography. The most striking feature of the structures of these complexes is the formation of molecular ladder and lamellar topology through the crystal packing arrangement, determined by both strong O–H···Cl and weak (however, multiple) C–H···Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions, to maintain the neutral/cationic metal-ligand coordination units linked to each other. In 3, additional secondary interactions are observed involving coordinated solvent and the counter-ion. The results presented here demonstrate that (i) the choice of organic ligands to provide flexibility and inherent potential to participate in hydrogen-bonding interactions, (ii) the coordination geometry preferences of metal ions, (iii) the number of metal-bound chloride ion and (iv) the presence of solvent/counter-anion have a great influence on supramolecular network topology.     

Investigation of Protonation of the Tetraazamacrocyclic Complex of Gold(III) [Au(C14H22N4)]+ in Water. Synthesis and Crystal and Molecular Structures of [Au(C14H23N4)](ClO4)2

The equilibrium of protonation of tetraazamacrocyclic complex of gold(III) [AuL]⁺ (L = 5,7,12,14-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,6,11,13-tetraenato(2-)) in a water solution has been investigated. A monoprotonated tetraazamacrocyclic metallocomplex with two inequivalent (iminate and imine) six-membered chelate cycles and charge 1- was obtained and isolated for the first time. The compound [AuHL](ClO₄)₂ was characterized by chemical analysis, IR and UV-VIS spectroscopy, powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The proton was shown to be attached to the β-carbon of one of the two six-membered chelate rings of the macrocycle. Crystal data for [AuHL](ClO₄)₂ are: a = 7.693(1) Å, b = 17.366(2) Å, c =15.172(2) Å; β = 96.82(1)°, V = 2012.6(4) ų, Z = 4, d _calc = 2.123 g/cm³, space group P2₁/c. The structure is built from practically planar [Au(C₁₄H₂₃N₄)]²⁺ cations and perchlorate anions [ClO₄]⁻.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by V. A. Afanasieva, I. V. Mironov, L. A. Glinskaya, R.
