Nickel(II) complexes of 4-acetamidobenzaldehyde N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Nickel(II) complexes with five 4-acetamidobenzaldehyde N(4)- substituted thiosemicarbazones have been prepared in EtOH solution and characterized by physical and spectral methods. N.m.r., i.r. and electronic spectra of the thiosemicarbazones and their complexes, along with physical properties of the complexes, have been recorded. These thiosemicarbazones coordinate as anionic ligands via the thiosemicarbazone moiety's azomethine nitrogen and thiolate sulfur [upon loss of the N(2) hydrogen] when reacted with NiCl2 in the presence of Et3N or with Ni(OAc)2.     

活性氮反应产生激发态卤化氮实验研究

A new method for producing electronically excited nitrogen monohalides NX(b) (X=F,Cl,Br) is reported. The strong emission spectra of NBr(b1Σ+→X3Σ–) are observed when alkyl bromides (CHBr3, CH2Br2, C2H5Br, and C4H9Br) are added to a stream of active nitrogen, generated by a hollow-cathode discharge of N2, in a flowing afterglow system. Some tentative experiments show that the electronically excited NBr(b) is formed by means of metastable N2(A3Σu+) Electronic-to-Electronic energy transfer to NBr(X), which is from the reaction of N(4S) with alkyl bromides. The emission spectra of NCl(b1Σ+→X3Σ–) are obtained when CCl4 or SOCl2 is admitted into a flow of active nitrogen, but neither CHCl3 nor CH2Cl2 addition results in such an emission. It has been proposed that the origin of the excited NCl(b) is an energy transfer from N2 (A) to NCl(X), generated by the reaction of N(4S) with CCl3 (or SOCl2). Similar experiments are also carried out with SF6 as reagent of active nitrogen, or as mixture with N2 in the discharge. By recording fluorescence it was found that excited NF(b) is produced only under discharge through N2/SF6 mixture. The NF(b) state presumably arises from the energy transfer from N2(A) to NF(X), and the latter is generated from the abstraction of fluorine by N(4S) from SF5.     

Cobalt(II) complexes of 4-acetamidobenzaldehyde N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Cobalt(II) complexes of five 4-acetamidobenzaldehyde N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones have been prepared in EtOH solution and characterized by i.r., electronic and n.m.r. spectra, and by magnetic susceptibilities and molar conductivity measurements. The thiosemicarbazones coordinate as monoanionic or neutral ligands via the thiosemicarbazone azomethine nitrogen and thione/thiolato sulfur, the latter by loss of the thioamide hydrogen, N(2)H. The resulting cobalt(II) complexes exhibit a varied stereochemistry.     

Near-infrared absorbing and emitting Ru(II)-Pt(II) heterodimetallic complexes of dpdpz (dpdpz = 2,3-di(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenylpyrazine)

The reaction of 2,3-di(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenylpyrazine (dpdpz) with K(2)PtCl(4) in a mixture of acetonitrile and water afforded mono-Pt complex (dpdpz)PtCl(2)4 in good yield, with two lateral pyridine nitrogen atoms binding to the metal center. Two types of Ru(II)-Pt(II) heterodimetallic complexes bridged by dpdpz, namely, [(bpy)(2)Ru(dpdpz)Pt(C≡CC(6)H(4)R)](2+) (7-9, R = H, NMe(2), or Cl, respectively) and [(tpy)Ru(dpdpz)Pt(C≡CPh)] (+) (12), were then designed and prepared, where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and tpy = 2,2';6',2'-terpyridine. In both cases, the platinum atom binds to dpdpz with a C(∧)N(∧)N tridentate mode. However, the coordination of the ruthenium atom with dpdpz could either be noncyclometalated (N(∧)N bidentate) or cyclometalated (C(∧)N(∧)N tridentate). The electronic properties of these complexes were subsequently studied and compared by spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses and theoretical calculations. These complexes exhibit substantial absorption in the visible to NIR (near-infrared) region because of mixed MLCT (metal-to-ligand-charge-tranfer) transitions from both the ruthenium and the platinum centers. Complexes 7 and 9 were found to emit NIR light with higher quantum yields than those of the mono-Ru complex [(bpy)(2)Ru(dpdpz)](2+) (5) and bis-Ru complex [(bpy)(2)Ru(dpdpz)Ru(bpy)(2)](4+) (13). However, no emission was detected from complex 8 or 12 at room temperature in acetonitrile.     

Alkylation reactions of [WS(4)](2)(-) and [(eta(5)-C(5)Me(5))WS(3)](-) with 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine: the first isolation of bisalkylated tetrathiometalate WS(2)[2,6-(SCH(2))(2)(C(5)H(3)N)

The trithio and tetrathio complexes of tungsten (PPh(4))[CpWS(3)] (Cp = eta(5)-C(5)Me(5)) and (PPh(4))(2)[WS(4)] undergo alkylation reactions with 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine to yield [(CpWS(2))(2)[2,6-(SCH(2))(2)(C(5)H(3)N)]].CH(3)CN (1.CH3CN) (73.1% yield) and WS(2)[2,6-(SCH(2))(2)(C(5)H(3)N)] (2) (76.0% yield), respectively. In the dinuclear complex 1, two CpWS(3) units are linked by a 2,6-dimethylenepyridine bridge, and the pyridine nitrogen is not coordinated at tungsten. Complex 2 is the first example of bisalkylated tetrathiometalates, the mononuclear structure of which is stabilized by coordination of the pyridine nitrogen.     

THE SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF THE IMIDAZOLATE-BRIDGED HETEROTRINUCLEAR COMPLEX (en)_2Ni[(Im)Co-(NH_3)_5]_2(CIO_4)_6·5H_2O

<正> (H2NC2H4NH2)2Ni [(C3H3N2) Co (NH3)5]2 (CIO4)6 · 5H2O,NiCo2Cl6O29N18C10H62, Mr = 1288. 00, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 31. 832(4), b = 9. 691 (1), c=15. 425(4)(?),β=90. 71(2)°, Z = 4, V = 4758. 0(?)3, Dc=1. 798g/cm3, μ (MoKa) = 15. 22cm-1, F(000)=2656. The three metal nuclei, one Ni( Ⅱ ) and two Co( Ⅲ ), bridged by two imidazolyl anions (Im = C3H3N2), form an isosceles triangle. The Ni( Ⅱ ) atom is situated on the two-fold axis and coordinated by six nitrogen atoms to form a distorted octahedron with two nitrogen atoms from two Im in cis-positions. The two Co( Ⅲ ) atoms are related by C2 symmetry and each Co( Ⅲ ) is coordinated by six nitrogen atoms to form an octahedral configuration.     

2,6-Diacetyl- and 2,6-diformylpyridine bis(N4-substituted thiosemicarbazones) and their copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes

2,6-Diformylpyridine bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazone) and bis(N4-dimethylthiosemicarbazone), H₂2,6Fo4M and H₂2,6Fo4DM, respectively, and 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazone) and bis(N4-dimethylthiosemicarbazone), H₂2,6Ac4M and H₂2,6Ac4DM, and their copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes have been synthesized. The ¹H-n.m.r. spectra of the free bis(thiosemicarbazones) show that, most often, one of the thiosemicarbazone moieties is hydrogen bonded to the pyridine nitrogen, and in [²H₆]-DMSO there is interaction with solvent oxygen. Golden yellow H₂2,6Ac4DM has a bifurcated hydrogen bonding interaction by one of the thiosemicarbazone moieties resulting in conjugation. Coordination to copper(II) and nickel(II) centers is via the pyridine nitrogen, amine nitrogen and thiolato sulfur and most of the complexes formed are polynuclear with thiosemicarbazone moieties from the same ligand coordinating to different metal centers.     

Copper(II) complexes of 4-acetamidobenzaldehyde N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Mononuclear and binuclear copper(II) complexes with four 4-acetamidobenzaldehyde N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones have been prepared in EtOH solution and characterized by physical and spectral methods. I.r., electronic, and e.s.r. spectra of the complexes, as well as i.r., electronic, and n.m.r. spectra of the thiosemicarbazones, have been obtained. These thiosemicarbazones coordinate as anionic or neutral ligands via the thiosemicarbazone moiety's imine nitrogen and thiolate/thione sulfur, the former on loss of the hydrazido hydrogen, N(2)H.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Copper(1,10-phenanthroline)_2(pyridine)]perchlorates

1 INTRODUCTIONThe molecular structures of five-coordinated copper (II) complexes show an extensive variability ranging from trigonal bipyramidal to square pyramidal stereochemistry, with most complexes displaying a structure which is intermediate between these two extremes[1,2]. Most crystal structures of 1,10-phenanthroline with copper (II) complexes are known, [Cu (phen)2X]Y, where X = Cl, Br, I, CN, NCS, H2O or thiourea and Y = perchlorate, nitrate, tetrafluoroborate, chloride o…     

Example of highly stereoregulated ruthenium amidine complex formation: synthesis,crystal structures,and spectral and redox properties of the complexes [Ru(II)(trpy)[NC(5)H(4)-CH=N-N(C(6)H(5))C(CH(3))=NH]](ClO(4))(2) (1) and [Ru(II)(trpy)(NC(5)H(4)-CH=N-NH-C(6)H(5))Cl]ClO(4) (2) (trpy = 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine)

The reaction of Ru(trpy)Cl(3) (trpy = 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine) with the pyridine-based imine function N(p)C(5)H(4)-CH=N(i)-NH-C(6)H(5) (L), incorporating an NH spacer between the imine nitrogen (N(i)) and the pendant phenyl ring, in ethanol medium followed by chromatographic work up on a neutral alumina column using CH(3)CN/CH(2)Cl(2) (1:4) as eluent, results in complexes of the types [Ru(trpy)(L')](ClO(4))(2) (1) and [Ru(trpy)(L)Cl]ClO(4) (2). Although the identity of the free ligand (L) has been retained in complex 2, the preformed imine-based potentially bidentate ligand (L) has been selectively transformed into a new class of unusual imine-amidine-based tridentate ligand, N(p)C(5)H(4)-CH=N(i)-N(C(6)H(5))C(CH(3))=N(a)H (L'), in 1. The single-crystal X-ray structures of the free ligand (L) and both complexes 1 and 2 have been determined. In 2, the sixth coordination site, that is, the Cl(-) function, is cis to the pyridine nitrogen (N(p)) of L which in turn places the NH spacer away from the Ru-Cl bond, whereas, in 1, the corresponding sixth position, that is, the Ru-N(a) (amidine) bond, is trans to the pyridine nitrogen (N(p)) of L'. The trans configuration of N(a) with respect to the N(p) of L' in 1 provides the basis for the selective L --> L' transformation in 1. The complexes exhibit strong Ru(II) --> pi* (trpy) MLCT transitions in the visible region and intraligand transitions in the UV region. The lowest energy MLCT band at 510 nm for 2 has been substantially blue-shifted to 478 nm in the case of 1. The reversible Ru(III)-Ru(II) couples for 1 and 2 have been observed at 0.80 and 0.59 V versus SCE, respectively. The complexes are weakly luminescent at 77 K, exhibiting emissions at lambda(max), 598 nm [quantum yield (Phi) = 0.43 x 10(-2)] and 574 nm (Phi = 0.28 x 10(-2)) for 1 and 2, respectively.     

Amine-amide equilibrium in gold(III) complexes and a gold(III)-gold(I) aurophilic bond

The ligands HN(CH2-2-C5H4N)2, BPMA, and PhCH2N(CH2-2-C5H4N)2, BBPMA, react with Na[AuCl4] to give the cationic complexes [AuCl(BPMA-H)]+ and [AuCl(BBPMA)]2+, respectively. The amido complex [AuCl(BPMA-H)]+ undergoes easy inversion at the amido nitrogen atom and can be reversibly protonated by triflic acid to give [AuCl(BPMA)]2+. The complex [AuCl(BBPMA)]2+ is easily decomposed in aqueous solution by cleavage of a carbon-nitrogen bond or, in dilute HCl solution, by protonation of the ligand to give [BBPMAH2]Cl[AuCl4] The complexes [BBPMAH2]Cl[AuCl4] and [BBPMAH2]Cl[AuCl2] can be formed by direct reaction of BBPMA with H[AuCl4]. Unusual forms of gold(III)...gold(III) and gold(III)...gold(I) aurophilic bonding are observed in the salts [AuCl(BPMA-H)][PF6] and [AuCl(BPMA-H)][AuCl2], respectively. The first comparison of the structures of gold(III) amine and amido complexes, in the cations [AuCl(BPMA-H)]+ and [AuCl(BPMA)]2+, indicates that there is little ppi-dpi bonding in the amido-gold bond and that the amide exerts a stronger trans influence than the amine group.     

High-pressure bulk synthesis of crystalline C(6)N(9)H(3).HCl: a novel c(3)n(4) graphitic derivative

A novel carbon nitride compound, structurally related to the proposed graphitic phase of C(3)N(4), has been synthesized in a bulk well-crystallized form. The new material, with stoichiometry C(6)N(9)H(4)Cl, was prepared through a solid-state reaction of 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine at 1.0-1.5 GPa and 500-550 degrees C and also through a self-reaction of 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine at similar conditions. X-ray and electron diffraction measurements on the yellowish compound indicate a hexagonal space group (P6(3)/m) with cell parameters of a = 8.4379(10) A and c = 6.4296(2) A. This new compound possesses a two-dimensional C(6)N(9)H(3) framework that is structurally related to the hypothetical P6m2 graphitic phase of C(3)N(4), but with an ordered arrangement of C(3)N(3) voids. The large voids in the graphene sheets are occupied by chloride ions with an equivalent number of nitrogen atoms on the framework protonated for charge balance. The composition of the sample was determined by bulk chemical analysis and confirmed by electron energy loss (EELS) spectroscopy. The chemical and structural model is consistent with bulk density measurements and with the infrared and (13)C NMR spectra. This work represents the first bulk synthesis of a well-characterized and highly crystalline material containing a continuous network of alternating carbon and nitrogen atoms.     

Two-Dimensional (1)H NMR Studies on Octahedral Nickel(II) Complexes

The dinucleating ligand ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N',N'-tetrakis[(2-(1-ethylbenzimidazoyl)] (EGTB-Et; 1) was used to synthesize the dinuclear Ni(II) tetraacetonitrile complex cation [Ni(2)(EGTB-Et)(CH(3)CN)(4)](2+) (2): triclinic space group P&onemacr; (a = 12.273(5) ?, b = 12.358(7) ?, c = 12.561(6) ?, alpha = 90.43(4) degrees, beta = 110.26(3) degrees, gamma = 99.21 (4) degrees, and Z = 1). The structure shows two identical octahedral Ni(II) centers each bound to two benzimidazole ring nitrogen atoms, one amine nitrogen atom, an ether oxygen atom, and two acetonitrile nitrogen atoms. The Ni(II) ions are tethered together by a diethyl ether linkage with a crystallographic center of inversion between the methylene carbons of this bridge. The Ni--Ni separation in 2 is 7.072 ?. The mononuclear Ni(II) complex cation [Ni(Bipy)(2)(OAc)](+) (3) (Bipy = bipyridine) was synthesized and crystallographically characterized: monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (a = 9.269(4) ?, b = 8.348(4) ?, c = 14.623(7) ?, and beta = 102.46(4) degrees, Z = 2). The Ni(II) ions in 3 adopts a distorted octahedral geometry and is bound to four bipyridine ring nitrogen atoms and two carboxylate oxygen atoms. The average Ni-N and Ni-O distances are 2.062 and 2.110 ?. The electronic absorption spectra of both 2 and 3 were recorded in acetonitrile solution and are consistent with octahedral coordination geometries about the Ni(II) ions with Racah parameters of 840 and 820 cm(-)(1), respectively. Both one- and two-dimensional (1)H NMR techniques were used to assign the observed hyperfine shifted (1)H NMR resonances of 2 and 3 in acetonitrile solution. Clear COSY cross signals are observed between the aromatic protons of both the benzimidazole and pyridine protons of 2 and 3, respectively. The use of 2D NMR methods to assign inequivalent aromatic protons rather than synthetic methods such as substitution or deuteration are discussed.     

Linear and cyclic tetranuclear copper(I) complexes containing anions of N,N'-bis(pyrimidine-2-yl)formamidine

The reaction of Kpmf (pmf = anion of N,N[prime or minute]-bis(pyrimidyl-2-yl)formamidine, Hpmf) with CuSCN afforded the complexes K[Cu4(pmF)3(SCN)2], 1, and Cu(4)(pmf)4, 2. Reaction of 1 with [(n-Bu)4N]PF6 in THF gave the complex [(n-Bu)4N][Cu4(pmf)3(SCN)2], 3. Their structures were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complexes 1 and 3 are the first linear tetranuclear complexes containing only Cu(I) atoms, while complex 2 is cyclic. The four Cu(I) atoms of complexes 1 and 3 are helically bridged by three tetradentate pmf- ligands. The [Cu4(pmf)3(SCN)2]- anions of 1 show weak interactions with adjacent [K(THF)5]+ cations through the sulfur atoms, forming infinite chains which are subjected to a series of intermolecular pi-pi interactions. In complex 2, the pmf- ligands are coordinated to the copper atoms in bidentate fashion through the two central amine nitrogen atoms, leaving the pyrimidine nitrogen atoms uncoordinated. Unexpected fluxional behaviors were observed for complexes 1 and 3 in solution. By the DNMR analysis, the free energy of activation (DeltaGc(not equal)) for the exchange is 12.8 kcal mol(-1) at 278 K (T(c)), and the rate constant of exchange (K(c)) is 470 s(-1) for 1. The DeltaGc(not equal) and Kc are 12.6 kcal mol(-1) at 273 K and 433 s(-1), respectively, for 3.     

Cobalt(II) complexes with 2-aminoacetophenone N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Cobalt(II) complexes with 2-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazone and three N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones have been prepared in EtOH solution and characterized by physical and spectral methods. I.r. and electronic spectra of the thiosemicarbazones and their complexes, along with physical properties of the complexes, have been obtained. The 2-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazones coordinate both as neutral and anionic ligands via the thiosemicarbazone moiety's imine nitrogen and thione/thiolato sulfur [on loss of the N(2) hydrogen].     

Low-temperature reduction of NO(2) on oxidized Mo(110)

The reactions of nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) were investigated on oxidized Mo(110) containing both chemisorbed oxygen and a thin film oxide. NO(2) reacts on both oxidized Mo(110) surfaces via a combination of reversible adsorption and reduction to NO, N(2), and trace amounts of N(2)O below 200 K. On the surface containing chemisorbed O, there is some complete dissociation of NO(2) to yield N(a) and O(a). N(2) forms at high temperatures through atom combination. On both surfaces, NO is the predominant product of NO(2) reduction. However, the chemisorbed layer which has a low oxidation state, and hence a greater capacity to accept oxygen, more effectively reduces NO(2). The selectivity for N(2) formation over N(2)O is greater for NO(2) as compared with NO on both surfaces studied. The selectivity changes are largely attributed to an increase in the concentration of Mo=O species and a change in the distribution of oxygen on the surface. Notably, more oxygen, in particular Mo=O moieties, is deposited by NO(2) reaction than by O(2) reaction, indicating that NO(2) is a stronger oxidant. The fact that there are several N-containing species on the surface at low temperatures may also affect the product distribution. On both surfaces, N(2)O(4), NO(2), and NO are identified by infrared spectroscopy upon adsorption at 100 K. All N(2)O(4) desorbs by 200 K, leaving only NO(2) and NO on the surface. Infrared spectroscopy of NO(2) on (18)O-labeled surfaces provides evidence for oxygen transfer or exchange between different types of sites even at low temperatures.     

Acidites et complexes des acides (alkyl-et aminoalkyl-) phosphoniques-IV: acides aminoalkylphosphoniques R(1)R(2)N(CH(2))(n)CR(3)R(4)PO(3)H(2)

The acids under study differed from one another in length of the carbon chain [N + H(3)(CH(2))(n)PO(3)H(-) for n = 1, 2, 3], substitution on the nitrogen atom [R(1)R(2)N + HCH(2)PO(3)H(-) for R(1) = H; R(2) = Me, Et and R(1) = R(2)= Me, Et] or extent of branching on the carbon atom adjacent to functional groups [N + H(3)CR(3)R(4)PO(3)H(-) for R(3) = H; R(4) = Me, Et, nPr, iPr, nBu and R(3) = R(4) = Me]. Acidity constants and overall stability constants of complexes formed with Ca(II), Mg(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) were obtained with the multiparametric refinement programs MUPROT and MUCOMP, applied to potentiometric data, obtained at 25 degrees , in a 0.1M potassium nitrate medium. In the most general case, the existing species are MHA(+), MA, M(OH)A(-), MH(2)A(2), MHA(-)(2) and MA(2-)(2), where A(2-) stands for the fully ionized ligand; preliminary examination of results points out some predominant microscopic forms.     

Cyclotriphosphazene hydrazides as efficient multisite coordination ligands. eta(3)-fac-non-geminal-N(3) coordination of spiro-N(3)P(3)[O(2)C(12)H(8)][N(Me)NH(2)](4) (L) in L(2)CoCl(3) and L(2)M(NO(3))(2) (M = Ni, Zn, Cd)

The cyclophosphazene tetrahydrazide spiro-N(3)P(3)[O(2)C(12)H(8)][N(Me)NH(2)](4) (L) functions as a multisite coordination ligand and affords L(2)CoCl(3).2CH(3)OH (4), L(2)Ni(NO(3))(2).2CHCl(3).2.5H(2)O (5), L(2)Zn(NO(3))(2).2CH(3)CN.2H(2)O (6), and L(2)Cd(NO(3))(2) (7). Each of the cyclophosphazene ligands that is involved in coordination to the metal functions as a non-geminal-N(3) donor coordinating through one ring nitrogen atom and two non-geminal-NH(2) nitrogen atoms. The coordination geometry around the metal ion in 4-6 is approximately octahedral while it is severely distorted in the case of 7.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis(dicyanamide) (5,7,7,12,14,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) Nickel(Ⅱ)

1 INTRODUCTION Crystal engineering is becoming an increase- ingly interest field by means of coordinated co- valent bonding or supramolecular contacts (such as hydrogen bonds, p-p interaction etc.)[1～7]. The ligand [N(CN)2]- is a remarkably versatile building block for constructing supramolecular architectures since it may act in uni-, biand tridentate manner. Additional ligands, such as coordinating amines (Lewis bases), in combination with dicyan- amide have been shown to produce n…     

Nickel(II) complexes of 2-aminoacetophenone N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Mononuclear nickel(II) complexes with 2-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazones and three N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones have been prepared in EtOH solution and characterized by physical and spectral methods. I.r. and electronic spectra of the thiosemicarbazones and their complexes, along with physical properties of the complexes, have been obtained. The 2-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazones coordinate both as neutral and anionic ligands via the thiosemicarbazone moiety's azomethine nitrogen and thione/thiolato sulfur [on loss of the N(2) hydrogen].
