Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes with 3,5-diphenyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole: Synthesis and study

The Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes with 3,5-diphenyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole (L) of the composition CuLA₂ · H₂O (A = Cl^?, Br^?), CuL₂A₂ (A = Cl^?, Br^?, NO ₃ ^? ), CoL₂A₂ · nH₂O (A = Cl^?, n = 1; A = NCS^?, n = 0) are synthesized. In these complexes, the ligand L is coordinated to a metal in monodentate mode through the heterocyclic N(1) atom. The Cu: L = 1: 1 complexes have binuclear structures with the anions acting as bridges, whereas the M: L = 1: 2 complexes are mononuclear. Both ferro-and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions are detected for the synthesized complexes.     

Characterization of heterobimetallic and mixed-valence complexes of molybdenum(V) derived from bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde) malonoyldihydrazone

Heterobimetallic complexes [UO₂Mo^V(CH₂L)(hzd)(H₂O)₂] _n , [ZnMo^V(CH₂L)(hzd)(H₂O)₂] _n and mixedvalence complexes [Mo^VIO₂Mo^V(CH₂L)(hzd)(H₂O)₂] _n (where hzdH₃ = inhH₃, n = 1; slhH₃, n = 2) are synthesized from bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)malonoyldihydrazone (CH₂LH₄) and monometallic precursor complexes [Mo(CH₂LH₂)(hzd)]·nH₂O (n = 0, 1) in ethanol. The composition of the complexes is established based on the data obtained from the elemental analysis. The structure of the complexes is discussed in the light of data obtained from molar conductance, magnetic moment, electronic, EPR, and IR spectroscopic studies. All complexes have ??B values in the range 1.59?C1.64 B.M., slightly lower than that required for one unpaired electron. The heterobimetallic complexes show two bands, while mixed-valence complexes show only one band in the visible region assigned to the d-d transition. The g-values decrease in going from uranyl-to-molybdenyl-to-zinc complexes containing the isonicotinoyldiazenido (inh) group, however, no such regular trend is observed in the case of complexes containing the salicyloyldiazenido (slh) group in the coordination sphere. In all complexes, the principal dihydrazone ligand is present in the enol form as a bridging hexadentate ligand in the anti-cis configuration where hydrazide ligands are coordinated to the metal centre as a trinegative bidentate ligand in the diazenido form.     

Rhodium(I) complexes with pyridazine, 4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine, 4,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)pyrimidine, 3,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)pyridazine and 3-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-6-chloropyridazine

The synthesis and properties of rhodium(I) complexes of formulae [“RhCl(diolefin)”₂(L)] (or [Rh(Cl(diolefin)(L)]), and [Rh(diolefin)(L)]_n(ClO₄)_n are reported. These complexes react with carbon monoxide to yield the related carbonyl derivatives. Ligands used were pyridazine, 4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine, 4,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)pyrimidine, 3,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)pyridazine and 3-(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-chloropyridazine. Related iridium(I) and gold(I) compounds are also reported.     

Synthesis and electrochemical study of 3- and 4-(2-pyridyl)-1,3-benzothiazole complexes with transition metals (CoII, NiII, and CuII). Molecular structure of bis{(4-(2-pyridyl)-1,3-benzothiazole)copper(ii)} tetraacetate

A series of the M(L)Cl₂ · nH₂O and {M(L)}₂(OAc)₄ complexes (M = Ni^II, Co^II, and Cu^II; L is 3- and 4-(2-pyridyl)-1,3-benzothiazole) were synthesized by the reaction of L with MX₂ · nH₂O (X = Cl, OAc) in ethanol. The molecular and crystal structures of the CuL₂(OAc)₄ binuclear complex (L is 4-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole) were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The copper atoms have a distorted tetragonal bipyramidal environment and are coordinated to the nitrogen atom of the pyridine moiety of the ligand and to two oxygen atoms of the bridging acetate ligands. The Cu-Cu distance is 2.6129(9) Å. The electrochemical behavior of the synthesized ligands and complexes was studied using the cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode techniques in DMF solutions (0.1 M Bu₄NClO₄). The primary reduction of all the complexes under study is directed to the metal.     

Biimidazolate- and bibenzimidazolate-bridged binuclear substituted manganese(I) carbonyl complexes

Novel binuclear substituted manganese(I) carbonyls [Mn(CO)_4?nL_n]₂(μ-N-N)₂ (n = 1, (N-N)₂ = biimidazolate, L = PBuⁿ₃; (N-N)₂ = bibenzimidazolate, L = P(OMe)₃, P(OPh)₃, PPh₃, PEt₃ or PBuⁿ₃, as well as n = 2; (N-N)₂ = biimidazolate, or bibenzimidazolate, L = PBuⁿ₃, PEt₃ or P(OMe)₃) are described, in which the anions (N-N)₂ act as tetradentate bridging-groups. They were prepared by treating [Mn(CO)₄(μ-Br)]₂ with thallium or potassium salts of 2,2′-biimidazole or 2,2′-bibenzimidazole and subsequent displacement of CO by L. The structures of the complexes are discussed.     

Behaviour of α-functional organotransition metals. Synthesis,characterisation and some reactions of 1-acetoxyalkyl derivatives of iron(II) and molybdenum(II)

Acetoxyalkyl metal derivatives M(C₅H₅)(CO)_n[CHROC(O)Me] [M = Fe, n = 2; M = Mo, n = 3; R = H, Me] are readily prepared by reaction of bromoalkylacetates with the appropriate cyclopentadienylcarbonylmetallate anion. The complexes are characterised by their NMR (¹H and ¹³C) and IR parameters and by mass spectrometry. The acetoxyethyl species are thermally labile via β-hydrogen transfer. Treatment of acetoxymethyl complexes with protic acids leads to carbon-oxygen cleavage and release of acetic acid; HCl affords chloromethyl complexes, carboxylic acids yield new carboxylatomethyl derivatives, HBF₄ leads to decomposition. The metalloesters are resistant to hydrolysis, transesterification and carboxylate displacement by nucleophiles (HO^?, MeO^?, H₂N^? Et₂N^?). Migratory insertion of CO could not be induced.     

Reactions of platnum(O) and palladium(0) complexes involving insertions into carbon—carbon bonds of electro-negatively-substituted cyclopropanes

1,1,2,2-Tetracyanocyclopropane and its 3-alkyl derivatives react with Pt⁰ and Pd⁰ complexes of the type Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄) or ML_n (n = 3,4; M = Pd or Pt; L = phosphines or triphenylarsines) to give metallocyclobutane derivatives, which undergo exchange reactions of the neutral ligand L. The structures of these products have been assigned on the basis of the IR and NMR spectra.     

Synthesis and characterization of diorganotin(IV) complexes of tetradentate Schiff bases: crystal structure of n-Bu2Sn(Vanophen)

Diorganotin(IV) complexes of the general formula R₂SnL (R=Ph, n-Bu and Me) have been prepared from diorganotin(IV) dichlorides (R₂SnCl₂) and tetradentate Schiff bases (H₂L) containing N₂O₂ donor atoms in the presence of triethylamine in benzene. The Schiff bases, H₂L, were derived from salicylaldehyde, 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde (o-vanillin), 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone and diamines such as o-phenylenediamine and 1,3-propylenediamine. The complexes were characterized by IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and elemental analysis. The structure of the complex, n-Bu₂Sn(Vanophen), was determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The tin atom has a distorted octahedral coordination, with the Vanophen ligand occupying the four equatorial positions and the n-butyl groups in the trans axial positions. Six-coordinated distorted octahedral structures have been proposed for all diorganotin(IV) complexes studied here, as they possess similar spectroscopic data.     

Structural features of copper(II) and lanthanide(III) tartratogermanate(IV) complexes

Four heterometallic tartratogermanate complexes, namely [Cu₂Ge₂(Tart)₃(H₂O)₁₀] _n · 3nH₂O and (H₃O)[LnGe₂(Tart)₃(H₂O)₆] · nH₂O (Ln³⁺ = Gd, n = 3.5; Tm, n = 3; Yb, n = 3), have been prepared via the reaction between germanium tetrachloride and D-tartaric acid (H₄Tart) in aqueous acetic acid. All complexes contain {Ge₂(Tart)₃} _n ^4n- polymer chains. The Cu²⁺ and Ln³⁺ atoms coordinate only Tart carbonyl oxygen atoms.     

Diorganotin(VI) complexes of N-acetylamino acids

Sixteen complexes of general formula R₂SnL₂ and R₂(L)SnOSn(L)R₂ (where L = N-acetyl-L-leucine or N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine) R = CH₃, C₂H₅, n-C₄H₉, or n-C₈H₁₇) have been prepared by interaction between the ligand and R₂SnO in 2:1 or 1:1 molar ratio. The complexes were characterized by IR, ₁H NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. All the 2:1 complexes are assigned six-coordinate, distorted octahedral geometry with chelating carboxylate groups, while the 1:1 complexes have oxygen-bridged binuclear five-coordinate, trigonal-bipyramidal configurations. The amido ?CO and ?NH groups are hydrogen bonded in the solid state.     

Anionic bipyridyl complexes of lanthanides. Structure of [Yb(bipy)3][Li(THF)4]

Reactions of Sm^II, Tb^III, Tm^II, Yb^II, and Lu^III iodides with 2,2′-bipyridyllithium in THF afford [Li(THF)₄][Ln(bipy) _n ] complexes (n=3 or 4) containing trivalent lanthanides. X-ray structural analysis demonstrated that in the crystalline state, the Yb derivative has the ionic structure, [Li(THF)₄]⁺[Yb(bipy)₃]^?. In THF solutions, the reversible ligand exchange between metal atoms occurs to yield neutral compounds [Ln(bipy) _n?1(THF) _x ] and [Li(bipy)(THF) _y ]. A decrease in the temperature shifts the equilibrium to ionic pairs.     

Some diolefin complexes of iridium(I) and a trans-influence series for the complexes [IrCl(cod)L]

A high-yield synthesis of [IrCl(cod)]₂ (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) is described. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of a number of complexes [IrCl(cod)L] are interpreted in terms of a trans-effect series Cl^? < sym-collidine < 2-picoline < PCy₃ < P-i-Pr₃ < Pet₃ ～ AsPh₃ < PMe₂Ph < PMePh₂ < PPh₂ <P(MeO)Ph₂ < PClPh₂ < P(OPh)₃ < PCl₂Ph. Some ligand exchange reactions of [IrCl(cod)L] are discussed. A number of complexes of the type [Ir(cod)L_n]PF₆ (L = a variety of amines (n = 2) and phosphines (n = 2 or 3)) are described. Exchange reactions of the sort: [Ir(cod)(PR₃)₂]PF₆ + [Ir(cod)(py)₂]PF₆ ? [Ir(cod)(PR₃)Py]PF₆ are reported in which, surprisingly, the isolable mixed ligand complexes are the only detectable species at equilibrium (py = pyridine).     

Novel repaglinide complexes with manganese(II), iron(III), copper(II) and zinc(II): Spectroscopic,DFT characterization and electrochemical behaviour

Novel transition metal complexes with the repaglinide ligand [2-ethoxy-4-[N-[1-(2piperidinophenyl)-3-methyl-1-1butyl] aminocarbonylmethyl]benzoic acid] (HL) are prepared from chloride salts of manganese(II), iron(III), copper(II), and zinc(II) ions in water-alcoholic media. The mononuclear and non-electrolyte [M(L)₂(H₂O)₂]?nH₂O (M = Mn²⁺, n = 2, M = Cu²⁺, n = 5 and M = Zn²⁺, n = 1) and [M(L)₂(H₂O)(OH)]?H₂O (M = Fe³⁺) complexes are obtained with the metal:ligand ratio of 1:2 and the L-deprotonated form of repaglinide. They are characterized using the elemental and molar conductance. The infrared, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show the coordination mode of the metal ions to the repaglinide ligand. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectra confirm the octahedral geometry around the metal center. The experimental values of FT-IR, ¹H, NMR, and electronic spectra are compared with theoretical data obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP method with the LANL2DZ basis set. Analytical and spectral results suggest that the HL ligand is coordinated to the metal ions via two oxygen atoms of the ethoxy and carboxyl groups. The structural parameters of the optimized geometries of the ligand and the studied complexes are evaluated by theoretical calculations. The order of complexation energies for the obtained structures is as follows:

$$Fe(III) complex < Cu(II) complex < Zn(II) complex < Mn(II) complex.$$

The redox behavior of repaglinide and metal complexes are studied by cyclic voltammetry revealing irreversible redox processes. The presence of repaglinide in the complexes shifts the reduction potentials of the metal ions towards more negative values.

     

NMR studies of mixed-ligand iron(III) dithiocarbamates

¹H NMR studies of mixed-ligand iron (III) dithiocarbamates have been carried out using the following ligands: N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate, morpholinyl-N-, and piperidyl-N-carbodithioate. The ligand exchange equilibria gave all species of the general formula Fe(dtc)_n(dtc′)_3?n, where n = 0-3 with nearly random statistical distribution of Fe(Et₂dtc)_n(morphdtc)_3?n complexes. Magnetic moments of the mixed-ligand complexes have been determined. Both the magnetic moment and isotropic shift temperature dependences confirmed the cross-over properties of these mixed-ligand complexes.     

Complexation of Co(II) with phosphonomethylaminosuccinic acid in solutions

Complexation in the Co(II)-phosphonomethylaminosuccinic acid (H₄L) system in aqueous solutions at component ratios of 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 and c _Co(II) = 1 × 10^?2 mol/L was studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy. The formation of various protonated complexes of the general formula Co(H _n L) _m (OH) _q (n = 3?0; m = 1?C2; q = 0?C2) was found, and their stability constants and distribution diagrams were calculated. It was demonstrated that the bis complexes have the structure of a distorted octahedron, and the octahedron ?? tetrahedron rearrangement of the coordination polyhedron occurs in the equimolar complexes at pH > 8.     

Synthesis,structural, spectroscopic,biological and catalytic activity of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of benzilic hydrazide (BH)

Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) chloro complexes of benzilic hydrazide (BH) have been synthesized. Also, reaction of the ligand (BH) with several copper(II) salts, including NO₃ ^?, AcO^?, and SO₄ ^? afforded metal complexes of the general formula [CuLX(H₂O) _n ]·nH₂O, where X is the anion and n = 0, 1 or 2. The newly synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectra, molar conductance, UV–vis, IR spectra, magnetic moment, and thermal analysis (TG/DTG). The physico-chemical studies support that the ligand acts as monobasic bidentate towards metal ion through the carbonyl and hydroxyl oxygen atoms. The spectral data revealed that the geometrical structure of the complexes is square planar for Cu (II) complexes and tetrahedral for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes. Structural parameters of the ligand and its complexes have been calculated. The ligand and its metal complexes are screened for their antimicrobial activity. The catalytic activities of the metal chelates have been studied towards the oxidative decolorization of AB25, IC and AB92 dyes using H₂O₂. The catalytic activity is strongly dependent on the type of the metal ion and the anion of Cu(II) complexes.     

Permetalloplumbanes: Preparation of [Pb{Co(CO)3(L)}4] and [Pb{Fe(CO)2(NO)(L)}4].: Complexes containing four transition metal to lead bonds (L = tertiary arsine,phosphine or phosphite).

The sole and unexpected products from the reactions of a variety of lead (II) and lead (IV) compounds with [Co₂(CO)₆(L)₂] complexes (L = tertiary arsine, phosphine, or phosphite) in refluxing benzene solution are the blue, air-stable percobaltoplumbanes [Pb{Co(CO)₃(L)}₄]. These have also been obtained from the reaction of Na[Co(CO)₃(L)] (L  PBu₃ⁿ) with lead (II) acetate which with Na[Fe(CO)₂(NO)(L)] forms the isoelectronic [Pb{Fe(CO)₂(NO)(L)}₄] [L  P(OPh)₃]. The IR spectra of the complexes in the v(CO) and v(NO) regions are consistent with tetrahedral PbCo₄ or PbFe₄ fragments, trigonal bipyramidal coordination about the cobalt or iron atoms and linear PbCoAs, PbCoP, or PbFeP systems. Unlike [Pb{Co(CO)₄}₄], our complexes do not dissociate to [Co(CO)₃(L)]^? or [Fe(CO)₂(NO)(L)]^? ions when dissolved in donor solvents.     

Coordination complexes containing multidentate ligands : V. The reactions between trans-carbonylchlorobis(triphenylphosphine)iridium and trans-carbonylchloro(triphenylarsine)iridium and some tridentate group VB ligands

Bis[3-(dimethylarsino)propyl]phenylarsine, (tas), reacts with trans-Ir(CO)(EPh₃)₂ X (E = P, As; X = F, Cl, Br, I) to yield the (Ir(CO)(tas)] X complexes. In contrast, the similar ligand bis[3-(dimethylarsino)propyl]phenylphosphine, (dap), reacts with trans-Ir(CO)(EPh₃)₂X (E = P, As; X = Cl, Br, I) to yield a mixture of [Ir(CO)(dap)X] and [Ir(CO)(dap)]X, and with trans Ir(CO)(EPh₃)₂F (E = P, As) to yield solely [Ir(CO)(dap)F]. The cations [Ir(CO)(L)]⁺ (L = tas, dap) readily yield tetraphenylborate derivatives, [Ir(CO)(L)]BPh₄. The oxygenation of [Ir(CO)(tas)]⁺ in solution proceeds almost to completion after 15 h, whereas [Ir(CO)(dap)]⁺ does not appear to undergo oxygenation.     

Organometalloidal derivatives of the transition metals: X. Photochemical,thermal, and SO2induced 1,2-phenyl and 1,2-sulphinatophenyl migratons from lead to transition metals in the system [(η5-C5H5)M(CO)nPbPh3] (M = Fe,Cr, Mo,W)

The complexes [(η⁵-C₅H₅)M(CO)_nPbPh₃] (M = Fe, Cr, Mo, W) have been studied with respect to their thermal and photochemical stability and their reactivity with respect to SO₂. The iron complex is the only complex that exhibits the ability to decompose via a 1,2-phenyl migration to the transition metal under thermal conditions, but photochemically the tungsten complex also exhibits this behaviour. All complexes react readily with SO₂ to yield the corresponding sulphinatophenyl complexes, LMSO₂Ph, in high yield.     

Ruthenium(II) complexes with 2-(benzylimino-methyl)-4-R-phenol containing the trans(PPh3),cis(CO,Cl)-{Ru(PPh3)2(CO)Cl} unit

Reactions of [Ru(PPh₃)₃Cl₂] with 2-(benzylimino-methyl)-4-R-phenol (H^RL, R = H, Cl, Br and OMe) in boiling methanol in presence of triethylamine afford ruthenium(II) complexes of general formula [Ru(^RL)(PPh₃)₂(CO)Cl] in 57-64% yield. Microanalysis, spectroscopic (infrared, electronic and NMR) and cyclic voltammetric measurements have been used for the characterization of the complexes. Crystal structures of two representative complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The carbonyl, the chloride, the N,O-donor ^RL⁻ and the two mutually trans PPh₃ molecules assemble a distorted octahedral CClNOP₂ coordination sphere around the metal centre in each complex. The complexes display the Ru(II) → Ru(III) oxidation in the potential range 0.62-1.16 V (vs. Ag/AgCl).
