The M(MRd)₄(ClO₄)₂ complexes have square planar coordination.Author to whom all correspondence should be addressed.     

Metal complexes of mercaptoamines—I. Synthesis and crystal and molecular structure of tetrakis (3-amino-1-propanethiolato) trinickel(II)chloride

The reaction of nickel(II)chloride with γ-mercapto-propylamine in ethanolic solution gives the complex [Ni₃(MPA)₄]Cl₂(MPA=NH₂-(CH₂)₃-S). The complexes [Ni₃(MPA)₄]X₂(X=Br, I, ClO₄) can be synthesized from the chloride complex by addition of the sodium salt in aqueous solution. The crystal structure consists of discrete divalent trinuclear cations and chloride anions. Each sulphur atom of the ligand acts as a bridge between two nickel atoms, and the nitrogen atoms complete the coordination around the terminal nickel atoms. The geometry around the metal atoms is square-planar. The electronic and IR spectra of the complexes [Ni₃(MPA)₄]X₂(X=Br, I, ClO₄) indicate that all these compounds are composed of the [Ni₃(MPA)₄]²⁺ and X^? ions.

The polynuclear complexes CuCl₂ · 1.3 mttz and CuBr₂ · 1.2 mttz contain presumably pseudotetrahedral chromophores, the chloride having a subnormal magnetic moment. The CuX₂ · 2 bmttz (X=Cl, Br or NO₃) complexes have a six coordination with bridging ligand molecules. In the CuX · 2 mttz (X=Cl, Br or ClO₄) complexes the anions are coordinated, while in the CuClO₄ · 2 bmttz complex the perchlorate anion is ionically bonded.

Polymeric structures consisting of square-planar geometry with sulphur-bridged metal atoms are proposed in each case.     

on the existence of organometallic palladium(IV) complexes

The reactions of palladium(II) compounds of the type Cl₂PdL₂ with bromobis(pentafluorophenyl)thallium(III) has been reexamined. The reported preparation of the organo palladium(IV) complex Cl₂Pd(C₆F₅)₂(PPh₃)₂ could not be repeated, and instead mixtures of binuclear palladium(II) compounds, Cl₂Pd(C₆F₅)₂L₂, and mononuclear palladium(II) compounds were obtained. The binuclear are transformed into the mononuclear complexes on addition of an excess of ligand L.The chlorine bridging atoms of the binuclear complexes can be replaced by other halogens or pseudohalogens by treatment with salts of the MX type (X = Br, I, SCN).     

Mixed-Anion Cu(II) Complexes with 3-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazole (L), Syntheses and X-ray Crystal Structure of [Cu(L)2 Br]ClO4 (L=3-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazole)

Reaction of the ligand 3-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazole (L) with Cu(ClO₄)₂ and CuX₂ (X=Cl, Br, I) gives complexes with stoichiometry [Cu(L)₂X]ClO₄ (X = Cl, Br, I). The new complexes were characterized by elemental analyses and infrared and electronic spectroscopy. The crystal structure of the [Cu(L)₂Br]ClO₄ was determined by X-ray crystallography. The cation complex (i.e. [Cu(L)₂Br]P) contains copper(II) with a distorted trigonal bipyramid geometry with a Br^― ligand occupying an equatorial site. The penta-coordinated metal atom is bonded to two pyridinic nitrogens, two pyrazolic nitrogens, and one bromide anion. The pyrazolic H atoms are hydrogen bonded to Br atoms, resulting in infinite hydrogen-bonded chains running in the b direction. There are π‐π stacking interactions (charge-transfer arrays) between the parallel aromatic rings belonging to adjacent chains that may help to form hydrogen bonding in the coordination geometry around Cu (II).     

Zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes of 4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine-2(1H)-one

The following zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes of 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-one (L) have been prepared and investigated by conductometric,IR and Raman methods: MX₂L₂ (M = Zn, X = Cl, Br(CHCl₃, I(CHCl₃, CF₃COO; M = Cd, X = Cl, Br CF₃COO; M = Hg, X = Cl, CF₃COO), Cd₂I₄L₃, Hg₃X₆L₂ (X = Cl, Br), Hg₃X₆L₄(X = Br, I), MX₂L₄·6H₂O (M = Zn, Cd, X = CIO₄, BF₄; M = Hg, X = CIO₄. The ligand is principally bonded through the unprotonated nitrogen atom and in some complexes also through the carbonylic oxygen atom. The zinc halide complexes are tetrahedrally coordinated, the trifluoroacetate ion is coordinated as a monodentate ligand.     

Cobalt(II) Complexes of 4,6-Dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-one

Some cobalt(II) complexes of 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-one (HL) have been prepared and studied by infrared and electronic spectra and by magneto-chemical and conductometric measurements. The ligand is coordinated through the unprotonated ring-nitrogen atom and in one case also through the carbonylic oxygen atom. The “blue” complexes [CoX₂ · 2HL] (X₂ = Cl₂, ClBr, Br₂, (NCS)₂) and [CoX₂ · 2HL] · 2HL (X = Cl, Br) have a distorted C_2v [CoX₂N₂] coordination; the thiocyanate ion is N-bonded to the metal. The “green” complexes CoX₂ · 2HL (X = Cl(4H₂O), Br) have a square-pyramidal [CoX₂N₂O] coordination. The “pink” CoX₂ · 4HL · nH₂O (X = ClO₄, n = 2; X = BF₄, n = 8; X = F₃Ac, n = 4) and “cream” CoX₂ · 4HL · 6 H₂O (X = I, ClO₄) complexes have an octahedral coordination; only the F₃Ac^? ion is coordinated. The “cyclamen” CoAcL · 2HL · 2 H₂O and Co₃Ac₄L₂ · 2HL · 2H₂O complexes have a polynuclear constitution; the Ac^? ion behaves as bidentate ligand.     

Cyclooctenyl complexes of palladium(II) with multidentate N-heterocycles

[Pd(cod)(cotl)]ClO₄ (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, cotl = cyclooctenyl, C₈H₁₃ ^–) undergoes substitutions with multidentate N-heterocycles: 1,3-bis(benzimidazolyl)benzene (L¹), 1,3-bis(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene (L²), 2,6-bis(benzimidazolyl)pyridine (L³) and 2,6-bis(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (L⁴) to yield mono/binuclear complexes: [Pd(cotl)(L¹)(OClO₃)], [Pd(cotl)(L)]ClO₄ (L = L² or L³) and [Pd(cotl)₂(L⁴)](ClO₄)₂. Dihalobridged binuclear complexes [PdX(cotl)]₂ (X = Cl or Br) undergo halogen bridge cleavages with the multidentate N-heterocycles to form binuclear complexes of the type [PdX(cotl)₂L] (X = Cl or Br; L = L¹, L², L³ or L⁴). The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, ¹H-, ¹³C-n.m.r., i.r., far-i.r. and FAB-mass spectral studies.     

Palladium(II) complexes with primary thioamides

Summary Palladium(II) complexes of thioacetamide, thiooxamide,N ^o,N ^o-dimethylthiooxamide and ethyl thiooxamidate have been prepared and investigated by electronic and i.r. spectroscopy. It is concluded that the ligands always act as monodentate sulphur donors, and that planar [PdL₄]X₂ (X = Cl, Br or ClO₄) compounds are formed. The(PdS) frequencies and the ligand field strengths are enhanced by electron donor groups and lowered by electron withdrawing groups.     

Syntheses and characterization of nickel(II), zinc(II) and palladium(II) complexes derived from three pyrazole-based polydentate ligands

Two pyrazole-based polydentate ligands, 1,3-bis(5-methyl-3-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hmppzpo) and 1,3-bis(5-methyl-3-p-isopropylphenylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hmcpzpo), have been synthesized. A third ligand, 1,3-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hdmpzpo), has been synthetically modified. Seven new M(II) coordination compounds of general formula M₂L₂X₂ (M?=?Zn, Ni; X?=?NO₃ or ClO₄; L?=?dmpzpo, mppzpo or mcpzpo) or MLX (M?=?Pd; L?=?dmpzpo; X?=?Cl) were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR analysis. The crystal structures of [Zn₂(μ-dmpzpo-O,N,N′)₂(NO₃)₂]?·?2H₂O (1?·?2H₂O), [Ni₂(μ-dmpzpo-O,N,N′)₂(CH₃CN)₂](ClO₄)₂ (2) and Pd(μ-dmpzpo-N,N′)Cl₂ (4) were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystal structures show that complexes 1?·?2H₂O and 2 are center-symmetric dinuclear compounds, with two metal ions bridged by two alkoxo groups and each metal ion with a distorted square-pyramidal environment. The palladium complex, 4, displayed square-planar coordination geometry around the Pd(II) ion with trans arrangement.

The complexes obtained were characterized on the basis of analytical data, i.r. and electronic spectra, conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. T.g.a, d.t.g and d.t.a studies have been made for some of the complexes which were found to decompose with loss of imidazole ligand. The stoichiometry of the thermal decompositions was determined.     

Synthesis,characterization and structural assessment of nitrato,chloro, bromo,perchlorato, thiocyanato and sulphato mono-(benzoin thiosemicarbazonato) copper(II) complexes

Summary Some copper(II) complexes of the type Cu(HL)X·nH₂O (where H₂L = benzoin thiosemicarbazone; X=NO₃; Cl, Br, SCN, ClO₄ or 1/2SO₄; n=O–2) have been prepared and characterized. All complexes have tetragonally distorted octahedral stereochemistry except the sulphatocomplex which is square pyramidal. The i.r. spectra reveal that HL acts as a monobasic tridentate ligand coordinating through the azine group nitrogen atom, thiocarbonyl sulphur atom and hydroxylic oxygen atom while NO₃, Cl, Br and ClO₄ act as terminal monodentate ligands and SCN and SO₄ act as bidentate bridging ligands. The polycrystalline e.s.r. spectra suggest tetragonal symmetry for the copper(II) ion, involving a dx ²–y² ground state.

Two novel five‐coordinate zinc(II) complexes with the tripod ligand tris(N‐methylbenzimidazol‐2‐ylmethyl)amine (Mentb) and two different α,β‐unsaturated carboxylates, with the composition [Zn(Mentb)(acrylate)] (ClO₄)·DMF·1.5CH₃OH ( 1 ) and [Zn(Mentb)(cinnamate)](ClO₄)·2DMF·0.5CH₃OH ( 2 ), were synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analyses, electrical conductivity measurements, IR, UV, and ¹H NMR spectra. The crystal structure of two complexes have been determined by a single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction method, and show that the Zn^II atom is bonded to a Mentb ligand and a α,β‐unsaturated carboxylate molecule through four N atoms and one O atom, resulting in a distorted trigonal‐bipyramidal coordination [τ( 1 ) = 0.853, τ( 2 ) = 0.855], with approximate C₃ symmetry.     

Synthesis and electrochemical study of 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole complexes with transition metals (CoII, NiII, and CuII). Molecular structure of aquabis[2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole]copper(II) diperchlorate

The reactions of 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (1) with MX₂·nH₂O salts (M = Ni^II, Co^II, or Cu^II; X = Cl or ClO₄; n = 0–2) in EtOH afforded the corresponding complexes. Depending on the nature of the counterion in the starting metal salt, the reactions give compounds of composition M(1)Cl₂·nH₂O or Cu(1)₂(ClO₄)₂·H₂O. The molecular and crystal structure of the Cu^II(1)₂(ClO₄)₂·H₂O complex was established by X-ray diffraction. The copper atom in this complex has a distorted tetragonal-pyramidal ligand environment and is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two ligand molecules and one water molecule. Electrochemical study of the ligand and the resulting complexes by cyclic voltammetry and at a rotating disk electrode demonstrated that ligand 1 stabilizes reduced forms of complexes containing Ni, Co, or Cu atoms in the oxidation state +1.
