Synthesis and properties of Cu(II) and Pd(ii) complexes with chiral bis-α-sulfanyl oxymes,the derivatives of natural monoterpene, α-pinene

Coordination compounds Cu₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄ (I), Pd₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄ (II), Cu₂(H₂L²)Cl₄ (III), and Pd₂(H₂L²) Cl₄ (IV) with chiral bis-α-sulfanyloximes, the derivatives of the monoterpenoid (−)-α-pinene, were obtained. The complexes I and III are paramagnetic (μ_eff = 2.45 and 2.67 μ_B, respectively), II and IV are diamagnetic. According to IR spectroscopy, in the compounds I–IV the nearest environment of Cu and Pd atoms includes N, S, and Cl atoms. The values of μ_eff and parameters of ESR spectra of the solid phase and solutions of I and III show a binuclear structure of the Cu(II) complexes. Parameters of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of compounds II and IV indicate the formation of binuclear Pd(II) complexes of C ₂ symmetry and the closure of fivemembered chelate rings PdNSC₂. The PdCl₂ fragments are in transoid position. H₂L¹ and H₂L² are tetradentate bridging chelating ligands.     

Binuclear Pd(II) complexes with chiral ethylenediaminodioxime (H2L) and bis-α-thiooxime (H2L1), the derivative of monoterpenoid(+)-3-carene. Crystal structures of [Pd2(H2L)Cl4] and [Pd2(H2L1)Cl4] · 3CDCl3

Diamagnetic Pd(II) complexes with the chiral ethylenediaminodioxime (H 2 L) and bis-α-thiooxime (H₂L¹), the derivatives of monoterpenoid (+)-3-carene, of the composition Pd₂(H₂L)Cl₄(I), Pd₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄ (II), and the solvate Pd₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄·3DCl₃ (III) were synthesized. The crystal structures of complex I and solvate III were determined from X-ray diffraction data. The structures consist of acentric binuclear molecules with the coordination cores PdN₂Cl₂ (in I) and PdNSCl₂ (in III) in the form of the distorted squares. In complex I, each Pd atom coordinates two N atoms of the tetradentate bridge-cyclic ligand H₂L and two Cl atoms; in compound III, one N and one S atom of the tetradentate bridge-cyclic ligand H₂L¹, and 2 Cl atoms. The CDCl₃ molecules in compound III lie in the cavities formed by the molecules of complex II. In both structures, the PdCl₂ fragments are in the trans-positions. The ¹H NMR spectra indicate that the structures of complexes I, II in solutions are similar to the structures of compounds I, III in the solid state. Original Russian Text ? T.E. Kokina, L.I.

Synthesis and structural characterization of mono- and dinuclear NiII and PdII complexes derived from tetradentate 1,7-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-2,6-diaza-1,6-heptadiene

The reaction of Schiff base 1,7-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-2,6-diaza-1,6-heptadiene (L) with either NiCl₂·6H₂O or [Pd^IICl₂(CH₃CN)₂]/Na[BF₄] in 1?:?1 stoichiometry yielded mononuclear ionic complexes, trans-[Ni^II(L)(H₂O)₂]Cl₂·3H₂O (1·3H₂O) and [Pd^II(L)][BF₄]₂ (2), respectively; the reaction of L with [Pd^IICl₂(CH₃CN)₂] in 1?:?2 ratio yielded dinuclear cis-[Pd^II ₂(μ-L)Cl₄] (3). Complexes 1–3 were characterized by vibrational spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction; diamagnetic 2 and 3 were also characterized by NMR in solution. The molecular structures of 1 and 2 displayed tetradentate coordination of L with formation of two five-membered and one six-membered chelate rings for both complexes. In 3, L showed bidentate coordination mode for each pyridylimine toward Pd^II. Complex 1 has distorted octahedral geometry around Ni^II and an extended hydrogen-bond network; distorted square planar geometry around Pd^II in 2 and 3 was observed.     

Kinetics and mechanism of palladium(II) catalyzed chromium(VI) oxidation of mercury(I) in aqueous sulphuric acid

The Cr^VI oxidation of Hg^I in an aqueous acid medium occurs to a modest extent only in presence of Pd^II and in H₂SO₄ above ca. 0.20 mol dm^–3. The reaction is first order in [Cr^VI] in the presence of Pd^II catalyst. The order in [Hg^I] is less than unity, whereas that in [Pd^II] is unity. Increase in [H₂SO₄] accelerates the reaction rate. The added products, Cr^III and Hg^II, do not significantly effect the reaction rate. A mechanism involving HCrO₄ ^– and PdCl⁺ as the reactive species of oxidant and catalyst respectively, is proposed. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism have been evaluated.

Summary Bis(1-pyrazolyl)methane, H₂Cbpz, and bis(3-methylpyrazolyl)propane, Me₂Cbmpz, react with cobalt(II) salts to give the solid complexes: [Co(H₂Cbpz)₂X₂] ·2H₂O (X=Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, NO ₃ ^– or ClO ₄ ^– ) and [Co(Me₂-Cbmpz)X₂] (X=Cl^–, Br^–, or I^–), which were isolated and characterised by elemental analysis, i.r. and electronic spectra and conductance measurements. From spectral data, octahedral and tetrahedral structures have been proposed for the H₂Cbpz and Me₂Cbmpz complexes respectively. The molar conductance of the complexes indicates that they are non-ionic.     

Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) Complexation with Isatin Aminoguanisone and Nitroaminoguanisone

New complexes of bivalent Co, Ni, and Cu with isatin aminoguanisone (HL) and nitroaminoguanisone (HL¹) of the composition ([Co(HL)₂]Cl₂ (I), [Ni(HL)₂]Cl₂ (II), [Cu(L)Cl] (III), [Co(L¹)₂] (IV), [Ni(L¹)₂] (V), and [Cu(L¹)₂] (VI) are synthesized. Their molecular conductivities and effective magnetic moments are measured and thermal stabilities are studied. The type of the ligand coordination in I–VI is proposed on the basis of IR data. The summary of physicochemical data for I–VI and the energy calculations for their molecules by the molecular mechanics method made it possible to establish stoichiometry of the coordination polyhedra of the complexes.     

Chiral complexes of PdCl<Subscript>2</Subscript> with hydroxypyrazolylquinoline and pyrazolylquinoline based on the monoterpenoid (+)-3-carene: Synthesis and structures

The chiral complexes [PdL¹Cl₂] (I) and [PdL²Cl₂] (II) (where L¹ and L² are hydroxypyrazolylquinoline and pyrazolylquinoline, respectively, based on the monoterpenoid (+)-3-carene) were obtained and examined using X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures of complexes I and II are built from mononuclear acentric molecules. The Pd²⁺ ions coordinate two N atoms of the chelating bidentate ligand L¹ or L² and two Cl atoms. The coordination polyhedron Cl₂N₂ is a square distorted in a tetrahedral manner. In structure I, adjacent molecules are linked by intermolecular contacts and hydrogen bonds Cl···H-O, which gives rise to chains aligned with the axis x. In structure II, contacts that are substantially shorter than the van der Waals interactions were not detected.     

Synthesis,Structure, and Properties of Nickel(II) and Cobalt(II) Coordination Compounds with Optically Active Diaminodioxime (H2L) Derived from 3-Carene. Molecular and Crystal Structures of the [Ni(H2L)(NO3)]NO3 and [Ni(HL)]ClO4 · H2O Complexes

Nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes with optically active diaminodioxime (H₂L, the derivative of 3-carene) of the compositions [Ni(H₂L)NO₃]NO₃ (I), Ni(H₂L)Cl₂ (II), [Ni(HL)]ClO₄ · H₂O (III), and Co(H₂L)Cl₂ (IV), were synthesized. According to X-ray diffraction data, the structures of the paramagnetic compound I and diamagnetic complex III are ionic. In the cation of I, the distorted NiN₄O₂ octahedron is formed by the N atoms of the tetradentate cyclic ligand (H₂L molecule) and by the O atoms of NO₃ ^–; anion functioning as bidentate cyclic ligands. In the cation of III, the NiN₄ coordination unit is a distorted square formed upon coordination of the tetradentate cyclic ligand, HL^–; anion. The data of magnetochemistry and UV-Vis, IR, and Raman spectroscopy suggest that paramagnetic complexes II and IV contain a distorted octahedral polyhedron MCl₂N₄ (M = Ni, Co).     

Synthesis of binuclear complexes of PdCl2 with chiral ethylenediamine dioxime (H2L1), piperazine dioxime (H2L2), and propylenediamine dioxime (H2L3), the derivatives of the natural monoterpenoid (R)-(+)-limonene. The crystal structures of [Pd2(H2L1)Cl4] and [Pd2(H2L2)Cl4]

The diamagnetic complexes [Pd₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄] (I), [Pd₂(H₂L²)Cl₄] (II), and Pd₂(H₂L³)Cl₄(III) with chiral ligands derived from the natural monoterpenoid (R)-(+)-limonene are obtained (H₂ L¹ is ethylenediamine dioxime, H₂L² is piperazine dioxime, and H₂L³ is propylenediamine dioxime). According to X-ray diffraction data, the crystal structures of complexes I and II are composed of binuclear acentric molecules. The coordination polyhedra PdN₂Cl₂ are trapeziums (squares distorted in a tetrahedral manner) made up of two N atoms of the tetradentate bridging cyclic ligands H₂L¹ and H₂L² and two Cl atoms. The fragments PdCl₂ are trans in the complexes. The ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra of complexes I and II in CDCl₃ also suggest their binuclear structures.     

Benign synthesis of quinolinecarboxamide ligands,H2bqbenzo and H2bqb and their Pd(II) complexes: X-ray crystal structure,electrochemical and antibacterial studies

Two carboxamide ligands, H₂bqbenzo {3,4-bis(2-quinolinecarboxamido)benzophenone} and H₂bqb {N,N′-bis[(2-quinolinecarboxamide)-1,2-benzene]}, have been prepared using tetrabutylammonium bromide as an environmentally benign reaction medium. Two new Pd(II) complexes, [Pd^II(bqbenzo)] (1) and [Pd^II(bqb)] (2), have been synthesized, characterized, and their structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The di-anionic ligands, bqbenzo^2? and bqb^2?, are coordinated via two N_amide atoms and the nitrogens of the two quinoline rings, with Pd?N_amide < Pd–N_quinoline bond lengths. The geometry around palladium(II) in both complexes is distorted square planar. The electrochemical behaviors of the ligands and their Pd(II) complexes have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in DMF. An irreversible Pd^II/I reduction is observed at ?1.06 V for 1 and at ?1.177 V for 2, indicating the influence of the R substituent on the central phenyl ring of carboxamide ligands on the Pd^II/I reduction potential. The ligands and palladium complexes were also screened for in vitro antibacterial activity. The Pd(II) complexes show strong biological activity against S.typhi and E.coli as Gram ?ve and B.cereus and S.aureus as Gram +ve bacteria comparable to the antibiotic penicillin. The antibacterial results also reveal that coordination of Pd(II) significantly improves the activity.     

Kinetics and mechanism of formation of tetrachloropalladate(II) in the reactions of bis(oxalato)- and bis(malonato) palladate(II) with chloride in acid media

Summary Kinetics of formation of [PdCl₄]^2– from [Pd(ox)₂]^2– and [Pd(mal)₂]^2– has been studies in aqueous acid media in the presence of an excess of chloride ion by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Both the complexes undergo the transformation in two well separated consecutive steps. In 0.02–0.05 M acid with 0.2 M Cl^–, Pd(AA)^2– dissociates leading to the formation of [Pd(AA)Cl₂]^2– (where AA =ox^2– or mal^2–), which in 0.1–0.6 M acid and 1 M Cl^– forms [PdCl₄]^2– in a relatively slow step. For both steps k_abs=k₀+k₂[H⁺][Cl^–]. Activation parameters corresponding to k₀ and k₂ have been determined. Results indicate that [Pd(mal)₂]^2– is much more labile to substitution than [Pd(ox)₂]^2– and for both the lability is far greater than that of [Pd(bigH)₂]²⁺ and [Pt(ox)₂]^2– reported earlier.     

Heteroligand Cobalt(III) Complexes with Triethanolamine and Aminoacetic Acid

Heteroligand cobalt(III) chelates with triethanolamine and glycine, [Co(HTetm)GlyH₂O] · 2H₂O (I) and [Co(HTetm)GlyNH₃] · 2H₂O (II) (H₃Tetm is N(C₂H₄OH)₃ and HGly is glycine), were synthesized. The acidity constants of complex I were determined at an ionic strength of 0.1. The reactions of I with alcoholic solutions of acids, ammonia, and ammonium nitrate were studied. Binuclear complexes were obtained upon the interaction of I and II with CoCl₂ · 6H₂O. The complexes were characterized using UV–VIS (in aqueous and alcoholic solutions) and IR (in the solid state) spectroscopy. The ¹³C NMR spectra of solutions of Iand II were recorded. The plausible structures of the complexes are discussed.     

The coordination chemistry ofN,N′-ethylenebis(2-acetylpyridine imine) andN,N′-ethylenebis(2-benzoylpyridine imine); two potentially tetradentate ligands containing four nitrogen atoms

Summary New complexes of the general formulae [ML_A(H₂O)₂]-Cl₂ (M=Ni or Cu), [ML_AX₂] (M=Co or Cu; X=Cl or Br), [NiL_ABr₂]·H₂O, [ML_A] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), [NiL_B(H₂O)₂]Cl₂·2H₂O, [ML_BCl₂] (M=Co, Ni, Cu, Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) and [ML_B] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), where L_A=N,N-ethylenebis(2-acetylpyridine imine) and L_B=N, N-ethylenebis(2-benzoylpyridine imine), have been isolated. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, t.g./d.t.g. methods, magnetic susceptibilities and spectroscopic (i.r., far-i.r., ligand field,¹Hn.m.r.) studies. Monomeric pseudo-octahedral stereochemistries for the Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II complexes andcis square planar structures for the compounds [ML_BX₂] (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) are assigned in the solid state. The molecules L_A and L_B behave as tetradentate chelate ligands in the Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Magnus-type Pd^II and Pt^II complexes, bonding through both the pyridine and methine nitrogen atoms. A bidentateN-methine coordination of the Schiff base L_B is assigned in the [ML_BX₂] complexes (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br). The anomalous magnetic moment values of the Co^II complexes are discussed.     

Palladium(II) complexes with 1-allyl-3-(2-pyridyl)thiourea: Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization

New Pd(II) complexes with 1-allyl-3-(2-pyridyl)thiourea (APTU) of the formulas [Pd(C₉H₁₁N₃S)Cl₂] (I) and [Pd(C₉H₁₁N₃S)₂]Cl₂ (II) were obtained and examined by UV-Vis, IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The conditions for the complexation reactions were optimized. The instability constants and molar absorption coefficients of these complexes were calculated. Comparison of the characteristic bands in the UV-Vis and IR spectra of the complexes and free APTU revealed that the ligand in both complexes is coordinated to the metal atom in the thione form in the bidentate chelating mode through the S atom of the thiourea group and the pyridine N atom. In the UV-Vis spectra of the complexes, the charge transfer bands (π → π* Py) and n → π* (C=N_Py), (C=S) experience hypsochromic shifts by 450–470 cm⁻¹ caused by the coordination of APTU to the metal ion, which gives rise to ligand-metal charge-transfer bands (C=N_Py → Pd, n → π* (C=S)) and (SPd). The protons in the 6-, 4-, and 3-positions of the pyridine ring and the thiourea NH proton in the chelate ring are most sensitive to the complexation.     

The Quest for PdII–PdII Interactions: Structural and Spectroscopic Studies and Ab Initio Calculations on Dinuclear [Pd2(CN)4(μ‐diphosphane)2] Complexes

Structural and spectroscopic properties of and theoretical investigations on dinuclear [Pd₂(CN)₄(P–P)₂] (P–P=bis(dicyclohexylphosphanyl)methane ( 1 ), bis(dimethylphosphanyl)methane ( 2 )) and mononuclear trans‐[Pd(CN)₂(PCy₃)₂] ( 3 ) complexes are described. Xray structural analyses reveal Pd???Pd distances of 3.0432(7) and 3.307(4) Å in 1 and 2 , respectively. The absorption bands at λ>270 nm in 1 and 2 have 4d →5p_σ electronic‐transition character. Calculations at the CIS level indicate that the two low‐lying dipole‐allowed electronic transition bands in model complex [Pd₂(CN)₄(μ‐H₂PCH₂PH₂)₂] at 303 and 289 nm are due to combinations of many orbital transitions. The calculated interaction‐energy curve for the skewed dimer [{trans‐[Pd(CN)₂(PH₃)₂]}₂] is attractive at the MP2 level and implies the existence of a weak Pd^II–Pd^II interaction.     

Synthesis and characterization of CuII and CoII complexes derived from 2,4,6-tri-(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPT) by chemical and tribochemical reactions

Four Cu^II and Co^II complexes–[Cu(L₁)Cl₂(H₂O)]3/2H₂O · 1/2EtOH, [Cu(L₁)₂Cl₂]6H₂O, [Co(L₁)Cl₂]3H₂O · EtOH, and [Co₂(L₁)(H₂O)Cl₄]1.5H₂O · EtOH (L₁ = 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine; TPT)–were synthesized by conventional chemical method and used to synthesize another four metal complexes–[Cu(L₁)I₂(H₂O)]6H₂O, [Cu(L₁)₂I₂]6H₂O, [Co(L₁)I(H₂O)₂]I · 2H₂O, and [Co₂(L₁)I₄(H₂O)₃]–using tribochemical reaction, by grinding it with KI. Substitution of chloride by iodide occurred, but no reduction for Cu^II or oxidation of Co^II. Oxidation of Co^II to Co^III complexes was only observed on the dissolution of Co^II complexes in d₆-DMSO in air while warming. The isolated solid complexes (Cu^II and Co^II) have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductivities, spectral (IR, UV-Vis, ¹H-NMR), thermal measurements (TGA), and magnetic measurements. The values of molar conductivities suggest non-electrolytes in DMF. The metal complexes are paramagnetic. IR spectra indicate that TPT is tridentate coordinating via the two pyridyl nitrogens and one triazine nitrogen forming two five-membered rings around the metal in M : L complexes and bidentate via one triazine nitrogen and one pyridyl nitrogen in ML₂ complexes. In binuclear complexes, L is tridentate toward one Co^II and bidentate toward the second Co^II in [Co₂(L₁)Cl₄]2.5H₂O · EtOH and [Co₂(L₁)I₄(H₂O)₃]. Electronic spectra and magnetic measurements suggest a distorted-octahedral around Cu^II and high-spin octahedral and square-pyramidal geometry around Co^II.     

Palladium(II), Copper(II), Iron(III), and Vanadium(V) Complexes with Heteropolyanion PW9O9–34: 31P, 183W, 51V NMR and IR Spectroscopy Studies

The formation of Pd(II)-containing and mixed Pd(II),Cu(II), Pd(II),Fe(III), and Pd(II),V(V) complexes with heteropolyanion PW₉O^9– ₃₄was studied using ³¹P, ¹⁸³W, ⁵¹V NMR, visible UV and IR spectroscopy, and the differentiating dissolution methods.

The title complexes were isolated from solution as Cs⁺solid salts belonging to the same [M₃(PW₉O₃₄)₂] structural type.     

Preparation and characterization of some transition metal complexes of benzoic acid hydrazones of 2-aminonicotinaldehyde

Summary Cu^II, Ni^II, Co^II, Zn^II and Pd^II complexes of tridentate Schiff base ligands derived from the condensation of benzoic acid hydrazides with 2-aminonicotinaldehyde have been prepared and characterized. For M=Cu, Ni, Co and Zn the complexes were formulated as [M(ligand)(H₂O)X] (X=Cl, Br), with a distorted octahedral geometry and tridentate Schiff base ligands. The Pd complexes were formulated as Pd(ligand)Cl₂, with square planar geometries and bidentate Schiff base ligands. The e.s.r. spectra of the Cu^II complexes are discussed.     

A study of complexation between crystalline <Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis>-[Pd(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O)<Subscript>2</Subscript>(NO<Subscript>3</Subscript>)<Subscript>2</Subscript>] and acetylacetone

Complexation between crystalline trans-[Pd(H₂O)₂(NO₃)₂] and acetylacetone was studied. The complexes Pd₂(Acac)₂(μ-NO₃)₂(I) and Pd₂(Acac)₂(μ-Acac)(μ-NO₃)(II) were obtained and examined by elemental analysis, X-ray powder diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, simultaneous thermal analysis, mass spectrometry, and vibrational spectroscopy.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic, magnetic,conductometric and electro-chemical investigations of nickel(II)-1-phenyl-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-thione complexes

Summary Tris-, bis- and mono-ligand complexes of Ni^II with 1-phenyl-4, 6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-thione (L) having the general formulae NiL₃X₂·2H₂O (X = ClO _inf4 ^p– , BF _inf4 ^p– ), NiL₂X₂ (X = Cl^–, Br^–, SCN^– or NO _inf3 ^p– ), NiL₂X₂·EtOAc (X = Br^– or I^–), NiL₂X₂·H₂O·EtOH (X = I^– or NO _inf3 ^p– ) and NiLCl₂·3H₂O, were synthesized and their structures deduced from i.r. and electronic spectra, and magnetic properties. The combined evidence is consistent with an octahedral coordination for the Ni^II ion in all the complexes, with the ligand acting as a bidentate N,S-chelating agent. Spectral evidence, conductivity data and electro-chemical results in DMF solution show that the complexes undergo solvolysis readily. Polarographic and c.v. data for the [NiL₃](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O complex and for the [Ni-(DMF)₆](ClO₄)₂-L systems, at increasing ligand concentrations, have shown that in DMF solution the [Ni(DMF)₆]²⁺ cation prevails and that the thiopyrimidine-containing species, [NiL(DMF)₅]²⁺ (L = N-monodentate ligand) , can be formed only in the presence of a large excess of free ligand.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.
