A Cu(Ⅱ) Complex with IM-MeImz-к2 N,O Mode in [Cu(IM-MeImz)2]·(SCN)2: Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties

A new copper(Ⅱ) compound with imino nitroxide radicals [Cu(IM-MeImz)2]·(SCN)2 (IM-meImz =2-(5-methylimidazol-4-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-imidazoline-1-oxyl) has been synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 9.3604(7), b = 10.3012(7), c = 16.6684(12) (A), β = 105.0290(10)°, V = 1552.25(19)(A)3, C24H34CuN10O2S2, Mr = 622.27, Z = 2, Dc = 1.331 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 0.876 mm-1, F(000) =650, the final R = 0.0374 and wR = 0.1079. X-ray analysis demonstrates that the IM-MeImz ligand is coordinated to the copper(Ⅱ) ion as an unusual didentate chelate with a κ2 N(MeImz),O(IM) mode in the complex. The square-planar coordination sites at Cu(Ⅱ) are occupied by two O and two N atoms from the imino nitroxide radicals. The complex molecules are connected as a onedimensional polymer structure by intermolecular interactions. Magnetic measurements show that there are intramolecular antiferromagnetic interactions between the Cu(Ⅱ) ion and radicals.

Magnetic Properties in Mononuclear Gadolinium(Ⅲ) and Terbium(Ⅲ) Complexes Based on Ethoxylphenylsubstituted Nitronyl Nitroxide Radical and Hexafluoroacetylacetonate Ligand

Two new lanthanide complexes with ethoxybenzene-substituted nitronyl nitroxide radical(NIT-C_8H_9O) and hexafluoroacetylacetonate(hfac) ligand,[Gd(NIT-C_8H_9O)_2(hfac)_3]·C_7H_(16)(1) and [Tb(NIT-C_8H_9O)_2(hfac)_3]·C_7H_(16)(2),have been successfully synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy,elemental analyses,thermogravimetry analyses,and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Both 1 and 2 exhibit a mononuclear structure in which the nitronyl nitroxide radical and hfac ligand act as monodentate and bidentate chelating modes,respectively.Magnetic studies show that ferromagnetic interactions(between intramolecular Gd and radical) and antiferromagnetic interactions(between the intramolecular radicals) coexist in complex 1.No obvious frequency dependent out-of-phase signals were observed in complex 2.     

Synthesis of 5-Fluoroalkyl Isoxazolidines via 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Ethyl 2-Hydropolyfluoroalk-2-enoates with Nitrones

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions of ethyl 2-hydropolyfluoroalk-2-enoates (1) with some nitrones were described. The reaction of 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline N-oxide (2) with 1 took place readily in methylene chloride at room temperature to give the corresponding 5-fluoroalkylisoxazolidines regioselectively as a mixture of two diastereoisomers (trans and cis) in high yields, while longer reaction time and higher temperature were needed in the case of non-cyclic nitrones. Under similar conditions the reaction of quinoline N-oxide (14) with 1 did not give the expected adducts and a ring-opening product was obtained.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Complex [Ag(NIT3Py)_3]·(ClO_4)(H_2O)

1 INTRODUCTION Nitronyl nitroxide radicals (NITR), stable organic radicals, have played an important role in the design and synthesis of molecular magnetic materials[1, 2]. However, nitronyl nitroxide radicals are poor elec- tron-donor ligands and their coordination ability is limited. Recently, it has led to the development of functionalized nitronyl nitroxide radicals in which a strong coligand is incorporated. Due to the strong coordinate ability of nitrogen atom from pryidinyl ring,…

基于1,2-二氢-2-(4-羧基苯基-4-[4-(4-羧基苯氧基)-3-甲基苯基](2H)二氮杂萘-1-酮的新型芳香聚酰胺的简易合成

A new monomer diacid, 1,2-dihydro-2-(4-carboxylphenyl)-4-[4-(4-carboxylphenoxy)-3-methylphenyl]phtha-lazin-1-one (3), was synthesized through the aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of a readily available unsymmetrical phthalazinone 1 bisphenol-like with p-chlorobenzonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylacetamide and alkaline hydrolysis. The diacid could be directly polymerized with various aromatic diamines 4a-4e using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents to give five new aromatic poly(ether amide)s 5a-5e containing the kink non-coplanar heterocyclic units with inherent viscosities of 1.30-1.54 dL/g.The polymers were readily soluble in a variety of solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethyl-acetamide (DMA), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), and even in m-cresol and pyridine (Py). The transparent, flexible and tough films could be formed by solution casting. The glass transition tem-peratures Tg were in the range of 286-317℃.

Reactivity and structural and physical studies of tetranuclear iron(III) clusters containing the [Fe4(mu3-O)2]8+ "butterfly" core: an FeIII4 cluster with an S = 1 ground state

The initial use of di-2-pyridyl ketone oxime [(py)2CNOH] in iron(III) carboxylate chemistry has yielded the tetranuclear complex [Fe4O2Cl2(O2CMe)2{(py)2CNO}4] (1). Compound 1 can be synthesized either by the 1:2:1 molar ratio reaction between Fe(III), MeCO2-, and (py)2CNOH (complex 1a) or by the 1:3 molar ratio reaction between [Fe3O(O2CMe)6(H2O)3]Cl and (py)2CNOH (complex 1b). The presence of N3- in both reaction mixtures has afforded the tetranuclear complex [Fe4O2(N3)2(O2CMe)2{(py)2CNO}4] (2), which can be alternatively synthesized by the reaction of 1 with N3-. Compound 1a crystallizes in the tetragonal space group /-4 with (at 25 degrees C) a = 35.06(2) A, b = 35.06(2) A, c = 13.255(6) A, V = 16293(2) A(3), and Z = 8. Compound 1b crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with (at 25 degrees C) a = 22.577(7) A, b = 17.078(6) A, c = 17.394(6) A, beta = 93.50(1) degrees , V = 6694(4) A(3), and Z = 4. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with (at 25 degrees C) a = 13.658(9) A, b = 15.815(9) A, c = 17.29(1) A, alpha = 97.08(3) degrees , beta = 98.55(3) degrees , gamma = 112.12(3) degrees , V = 3355(4) A(3), and Z = 2. The structures of 1 and 2 contain the [Fe4(mu3-O)2]8+ core comprising four Fe(III) ions in a "butterfly" disposition and two mu3-O2- ions, each bridging three Fe(III) ions forming the "wings" of the "butterfly". The M?ssbauer spectra of 1b and 2 consist of composite quadrupole-split doublets, with parameters typical for high-spin Fe(III) in octahedral environments. Magnetic susceptibility measurements on 1a revealed antiferromagnetic interactions between the S = 5/2 ferric ions, with best-fit parameters being J(wb) = -40.2 cm(-1) and J(bb) = -59.4 cm(-1) (H = -2SigmaJiJj) for wingtip-body and body-body interactions, respectively, yielding an S = 1 ground state. Both wingtip-body and body-body interactions are well determined.     

Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of [Zr(6)Cl(18)H(5)](2)(-), the First Paramagnetic Species of Its Class

Reaction of [Zr(6)Cl(18)H(5)](3)(-) (1) with 1 equiv of TiCl(4) yields a new cluster anion, [Zr(6)Cl(18)H(5)](2)(-) (2), which can be converted back into [Zr(6)Cl(18)H(5)](3)(-) (1) upon addition of 1 equiv of Na/Hg. Cluster 2 is paramagnetic and unstable in the presence of donor molecules. It undergoes a disproportionation reaction to form 1, some Zr(IV) compounds, and H(2). It also reacts with TiCl(4) to form [Zr(2)Cl(9)](-) (4) and a tetranuclear mixed-metal species, [Zr(2)Ti(2)Cl(16)](2)(-) (3). The oxidation reaction of 1 with TiCl(4) is unique. Oxidation of 1 with H(+) in CH(2)Cl(2) solution results in the formation of [ZrCl(6)](2)(-) (5) and H(2), while in py solution the oxidation product is [ZrCl(5)(py)](-) (6). There is no reaction between 1 and TiI(4), ZrCl(4), [TiCl(6)](2)(-), [ZrCl(6)](2)(-), or CrCl(3). Compounds [Ph(4)P](2)[Zr(6)Cl(18)H(5)] (2a), [Ph(4)P](2)[Zr(2)Ti(2)Cl(16)] (3a), [Ph(4)P](2)[Zr(2)Cl(9)] (4a), [Ph(4)P](2)[ZrCl(6)].4MeCN (5a.4MeCN), and [Ph(4)P][ZrCl(5)(py)] (6a) were characterized by X-ray crystallography.

Compound 5a.4MeCN crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with cell dimensions (-60 degrees C) of a = 9.595(1) ?, b = 19.566(3) ?, c = 15.049(1) ?, beta = 98.50(1) degrees, V = 2794.2(6) ?(3), and Z = 2. Compound 6a crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with cell dimensions (20 degrees C) of a = 10.3390(7) ?, b = 16.491(2) ?, c = 17.654(2) ?, beta = 91.542(6) degrees, V = 3026.4(5) ?(3), and Z = 4.

Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of ruthenium carboxylato and 2-oxocarboxylato complexes bearing the bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetato ligand

A series of ruthenium(II) acetonitrile, pyridine (py), carbonyl, SO2, and nitrosyl complexes [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CR)(L)(PPh3)] (L = NCMe, py, CO, SO2) and [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CR)(L)(PPh3)]BF4 (L = NO) containing the bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetato (bdmpza) ligand, a N,N,O heteroscorpionate ligand, have been prepared. Starting from ruthenium chlorido, carboxylato, or 2-oxocarboxylato complexes, a variety of acetonitrile complexes [Ru(bdmpza)Cl(NCMe)(PPh3)] (4) and [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CR)(NCMe)(PPh3)] (R = Me (5a), R = Ph (5b)), as well as the pyridine complexes [Ru(bdmpza)Cl(PPh3)(py)] (6) and [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CR)(PPh3)(py)] (R = Me (7a), R = Ph (7b), R = (CO)Me (8a), R = (CO)Et (8b), R = (CO)Ph) (8c)), have been synthesized. Treatment of various carboxylato complexes [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CR)(PPh3)2] (R = Me (2a), Ph (2b)) with CO afforded carbonyl complexes [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CR)(CO)(PPh3)] (9a, 9b). In the same way, the corresponding sulfur dioxide complexes [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CMe)(PPh3)(SO2)] (10a) and [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CPh)(PPh3)(SO2)] (10b) were formed in a reaction of the carboxylato complexes with gaseous SO2. None of the 2-oxocarboxylato complexes [Ru(bdmpza)(O2C(CO)R)(PPh3)2] (R = Me (3a), Et (3b), Ph (3c)) showed any reactivity toward CO or SO2, whereas the nitrosyl complex cations [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CMe)(NO)(PPh3)](+) (11) and [Ru(bdmpza)(O2C(CO)Ph)(NO)(PPh3)](+) (12) were formed in a reaction of the acetato 2a or the benzoylformato complex 3c with an excess of nitric oxide. Similar cationic carboxylato nitrosyl complexes [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CR)(NO)(PPh3)]BF4 (R = Me (13a), R = Ph (13b)) and 2-oxocarboxylato nitrosyl complexes [Ru(bdmpza)(O2C(CO)R)(NO)(PPh3)]BF4 (R = Me (14a), R = Et (14b), R = Ph (14c)) are also accessible via a reaction with NO[BF4]. X-ray crystal structures of the chlorido acetonitrile complex [Ru(bdmpza)Cl(NCMe)(PPh3)] (4), the pyridine complexes [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CMe)(PPh3)(py)] (7a) and [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CC(O)Et)(PPh3)(py)] (8b), the carbonyl complex [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CPh)(CO)(PPh3)] (9b), the sulfur dioxide complex [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CPh)(PPh3)(SO2)] (10b), as well as the nitrosyl complex [Ru(bdmpza)(O2C(CO)Me)(NO)(PPh3)]BF4 (14a), are reported. The molecular structure of the sulfur dioxide complex [Ru(bdmpza)(O2CPh)(PPh3)(SO2)] (10b) revealed a rather unusual intramolecular SO2-O2CPh Lewis acid-base adduct.

The framework structures of complexes 1 and 2 are 3-D networks via the hydrogen bonds among 1-D chains. The notable characteristics of the two complexes are that the coordination polyhedron of Zn(II) adopts a rare distorted five-coordinate square pyramidal geometry in 1, and the Cd(II) complex exhibits an unusual distorted seven-coordinate pentagonal bipyramid in 2.
