A homodinuclear complex （NH3CH2CH2CH2NH3）2 {Na2[（C6H4O2）2] （C6H4O2H）2} （1） has been synthesized by a solution-based self-assembly route. It crystallized in monoclinic system with space group P21/c. Every sodium ion coordinates in a tetragonal prism fashion with two O atoms of a terminal chelating catecholate ligand and three O atoms from two bridging catecholate ligands. Two neighboring NaO5 tetragonal prisms are edge-shared and centrosymmetric with regard to the inversion center to form a binuclear cluster {Na2[（C6H4O2）2]（C6H4OOH）2}^4- anion.

Copper(I) and mercury(II) halide complexes of 1,2-bis(diphenylthioylphosphino)hydrazine

The reaction of 1,2-bis(diphenylthioylphosphino)hydrazine (L) with copper(I) and mercury(II) halides affords the complexes, [{CuLX}₂] (X = I, Br or Cl), [HgLX₂] (X = Cl or Br) and the tetrametallic complex, [{L(HgI₂)₂}₂]. Single crystal X-ray structures have been performed on the uncoordinated ligand, L, as well as the complexes [{CuLX}₂] (X = I, Br and Cl), [HgLBr₂] and [{L(HgI₂)₂}₂. The molecules of L exist as dimers as a result of pairs of N–HS hydrogen bonds. The copper(I) complexes are centrosymmetric dimetallic species, the two copper atoms being bridged by L and the X atoms. In all cases the coordination sphere around the Cu atoms is approximately trigonal pyramidal with an ‘S₂X₂’ donor set. The complex, [HgLBr₂], is a distorted tetrahedral monomer with an ‘S₂Br₂’ donor set and L acting as a bidentate thus forming a seven-membered chelate ring. The tetramercury iodo complex, [{L(HgI₂)₂}₂], contains two ‘L(HgI₂)₂’ units linked centrosymmetrically via an I atom from each moiety. The geometry around the Hg atoms is distorted tetrahedral. The influence of hydrogen bonding between the hydrazine backbone hydrogens of L and the coordinated halide ions in for the structures of the metal complexes is discussed.

The reaction (1 : 1) between [A Me₂)Cl₂] and [Hg(2-C₆H₄-N=NPh)₂] gives the complex [(2-PhN=NC₆H₄)A MeC₂)Cl], which on treatment with AgClO₄ gives [(2-Ph Me₂)]ClO₄. From this complex, the species [(2-PhN=NC₆H₄)A Me₂)X] (X = CH₃COO, CN), or [(2-PhN=NC₆H₄)A Me₂)L] (L = PPh₃, py) are obtained by reaction with the corresponding KX salts or neutral ligands.

含TEMPO配合物的合成、表征、谱学性质及光猝灭机理

A novel Pt(Ⅱ)-based metallointercalator terpyridine complex linked with a 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyl N-oxide (TEMPO) derivative was prepared by a reaction between 4'-TEMPO-terpyridine (L) and a Pt(Ⅱ) salt. This complex presented unusual luminescence quenching owing to the effect of the stable nitroxide radical. The crystal structure of[Pt(terpy-TEMPO)Cl]Cl·H₂O·CH₃OH (terpy=2, 2':6', 2"-terpyridine) was elucidated by X-ray crystallography. Additionally, the effect of TEMPO on the photophysical properties of[Pt(terpy-TEMPO)Cl] Cl·H₂O·CH₃OH was investigated by UV-Vis, fluorescence emission, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Data from the absorption and luminescence properties (298 K) of the[Pt(terpy-TEMPO)Cl]⁺ complex indicated the presence of two groups of typical bands:an intense band B with distinct vibronic structures (270-350 nm, ε>10⁴ dm³·mol^-1·cm^-1) and a less intense band A (370-450 nm, ε~10³ dm³·mol^-1·cm^-1). These two bands are generally assigned to ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) and metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states, respectively. Furthermore, efficient photoluminescent quenching behavior was observed in the emission spectra of this complex system. Quantum calculations of the molecular energy gaps and bands were performed by Gaussian 09 software. The calculated results verified that TEMPO greatly affects the energy gaps between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. Thus, the relationship between efficient photoquenching and molecular structure was theoretically interpreted. EPR results indicated that when TEMPO is attached to a macrocyclic terpyridine platinum complex, e.g., [Pt(terpy)Cl]⁺, the terpyridine platinum complex does not affect the hyperfine coupling constant (A value) and g factor (g values) but the rotation and relaxation times of the TEMPO radical.     

The reactivity of cationic [trioxo-(1,4,7-triazacyclononane) rhenium(VII)] and oxorhenium(V) complexes containing triazamacrocycles

The reduction of colourless [LRe^VIIO₃]Br in an acetone-water mixture (6: 1) with zinc amalgam affords green, air-sensitive [LRe^VO₂Br] which forms a violet complex [LReO(μ-O)₂ReOBr₂]in aqueous solution (L = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane; C₆H₁₅N₃). From a similar reduction of [LReO₃]ReO₄ the violet neutral complex [LReO(μ-O)₂ReO(ReO₄)₂] was obtained. [LReO₃]⁺ is deprotonated in alkaline solution (pK_a = 10.3 + 0.2, 25°C) and [(C₆H₁₄N₃)ReO₃] was isolated as a yellow solid. The latter amido rhenium(VII) compound reacted in dimethylformamide with R---X (R = CH₃, benzyl; X = Cl), affording at the cyclic amine, N,N′,N″-trisalkylated complexes of the type [L′ReO₃]X. The monomeric rhenium(V) complexes [LReOX₂]X (X = Cl, Br, I) were obtained from the reaction of [n-Butyl₄N]ReOX₄ and L in acetonitrile. IR, UV-vis, ¹⁷O NMR spectra of these compounds are reported.     

Synthesis, structures and oxygen atom transfer catalysis of oxo-bridged molybdenum(V) complexes with heterocyclic bidentate ligands (N,X) X = S, Se

The dinuclear μ-oxomolybdenum(V) complexes [Mo₂O₃(PyS)₄] (1), [Mo₂O₃(PySe)₄] (2) and [Mo₂O₃(4-CF₃-PymS)₄] (3) were obtained by similar reactions of the [MoO₂Cl₂(DME)] precursor with the corresponding heterocyclic bidentate (N,X) ligands, X = S, Se, where PyS, PySe and 4-CF₃-PymS are the anions of pyridine-2-thione, pyridine-2-selenolato and 4-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrimidinthiol, respectively. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR, EI-MS spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures of 1–3 all include the common [Mo₂O₃]⁴⁺ core. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural.

Synthesis, characterisation and reactivity of trans-[Ru(L)(PPh3)Br2]; L=2-pyridyl-N-(2′-methylthiophenyl)methyleneimine: Crystal structure of trans-[Ru(L)(PPh3)Br2]

Reaction of Ru(PPh₃)₂Br₂ with the NNS chelating tridentate ligand 2-pyridyl-N-(2′-methylthiophenyl)methyleneimine (L) led to the isolation of the ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(L)(PPh₃)Br₂]. Reactivity of this complex with different bidentate chelating ligands revealed that the products are quite different from those obtained by reacting Ru(L)(PPh₃)Cl₂ (the corresponding cis dichloro complex) with the same ligands under comparable conditions. The mixed chelates were isolated and characterised by elemental analysis, magnetic moment measurement and by different spectroscopic methods along with their precursor. Electrochemistry of the complexes was examined by cyclic voltammetry using a platinum working electrode and a Ag/AgCl electrode as reference. The crystal structure of [Ru(L)(PPh₃)Br₂] disclosed that, unlike Ru(L)(PPh₃)Cl₂, the two bromo ligands are in trans position and this explained the difference in its reactivity pattern from the corresponding chloro complex.     

Nitrate and perchlorate salts of a silver(I) complex from 5-methyl-2-(2,3-diaza-4-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)buta-1,3-dienyl)thiophene

Bis(5-methyl-2-(2,3-diaza-4-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)buta-1,3-dienyl)thiophene) silver(I) complex was synthesized in high yield by refluxing 5-methyl-2-(2,3-diaza-4-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)buta-1,3-dienyl)thiophene (L) with silver nitrate or silver perchlorate in anhydrous acetonitrile. The product thus formed was well characterized by NMR, IR, UV–Vis and mass spectroscopies as well as elemental analysis and electrochemical analysis. Molecular structures of compounds L, [L₂Ag]NO₃ and [L₂Ag]ClO₄ were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that the C=N double bond of the ligand rotated during the course of ligand coordination in the case of the perchlorate salt but not in the case of the nitrate salt.     

Cationic cobaltammine as anion receptor: Synthesis, characterization, single crystal X-ray structure and packing analysis of hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride (R,R)-tartrate monohydrate

In an effort to utilize the [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ cation as a new anion receptor (binding agent) for dihydroxy dicarboxylate anion i.e., tartrate, orange single crystals of hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride (R,R)-tartrate monohydrate, [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl(C₄H₄O₆)·H₂O, were obtained by reacting hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride with potassium–sodium tartrate tetrahydrate in a 1:1 molar ratio in hot water. The single crystal X-ray structure determination of [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl(C₄H₄O₆)·H₂O revealed that a distinctive network of hydrogen bonding interactions (N–HO, N–HCl⁻, O–HO) stabilize the crystal lattice. This is the first complex salt of hexaamminecobalt(III) with dihydroxy dicarboxylate anion i.e., tartrate.     

Copper thioether chemistry: The synthesis and single crystal X-ray structures of [Cu2([18]aneS6)(NCMe)2](ClO4)2 and [Cu([9]aneS3)(AsPPh3)](ClO4)

Reaction of [18]aneS₆ with two molar equivalents of [Cu(NCMe)₄](ClO₄) in CH₂Cl₂-MeCN affords the binuclear copper(I) complex [Cu₂([18]aneS₆)(NCMe)₂](ClO₄)₂. The single crystal X-ray structure of the complex shows a centrosymmetric cation with two tetrahedral copper(I) centres each coordinated to three thioether S-donors of [18]aneS₆,Cu---S(1) = 2.3200(15), Cu---S(4) = 2.3415(16), Cu---S(7) = 2.3250(15) Å, and to one MeCN molecule, Cu---N(1) = 1.939(5) Å, to give an overall NS₃-donation at the metal centres. Additionally, S(7′) shows a long-range interaction, Cu …S(7′) = 3.318(2) Å thus distorting the coordination geometry of the metal ion towards trigonal bipyramidal. The metal-metal separation of 4.428(2) Å suggests that there is no significant interaction between the copper centres of the dimer. Reaction of [9]aneS₃ with one molar equivalent of [Cu(NCMe)₄](ClO₄) in refluxing MeCN in the presence of ligands, L, affords the adducts [Cu([9]aneS₃)L]⁺ (L = PPh₃, AsPh₃). The single crystal X-ray structure of the complex [Cu([9]aneS₃)(AsPh₃)](ClO₄) shows tetrahedral AsS₃ coordination at copper(I) with [9]aneS₃ bound facially to the metal centre, Cu---S = 2.303(6), Cu---As = 2.322(4) Å.     

Complexes of ytterbium(III) nitrate and triflate with homoazacalix[n]arenes (n=3, 4)

The synthesis and crystal structures of three ytterbium(III) complexes of homoazacalixarenes are reported. In all cases, the complexes are obtained without addition of a base, the protons of the complexing phenolic moieties being transferred to the amine groups upon complexation. The 1:1 complex between p-chloro-N-benzylhexahomotriazacalix[3]arene (1) and Yb(NO₃)₃ is analogous to the neodymium(III) complex reported previously, with the metal ion bound to three phenoxide groups and three nitrate ions. A second 1:1 complex is obtained with Yb(NO₃)₃ and p-methyl-N-benzyltetrahomodiazacalix[4]arene (2), in which the metal ion is bound to two phenoxide groups only. The replacement of nitrate by triflate counter-ions results in the formation of a 1:2 ‘sandwich’ complex with 1, in which two divergent calixarene molecules are bridged by the metal ion, the counter-ions being non-bonding.
