A bimetallic cyano-bridged complex based on nickel(II) and pentacyanidonitrosylferrate(II) precursors: characterization, crystal structure, and magnetic properties

A heterobimetallic cyano-bridged 1D coordination polymer of the composition [Ni(baepn)(μ-NC)Fe(CN)₃(NO)(μ-CN)]_n·3H₂O has been synthesized by the reaction of nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate, baepn (baepn = N, N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine), and sodium nitroprusside dihydrate in a methanol–water mixture. The complex was characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The crystal structure was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It reveals cyano-bridged heterometallic chains consisting of alternating arrays of Ni(II) and Fe(II) atoms, both being embedded in distorted octahedral environments. Low-temperature susceptibility measurements show the presence of weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between paramagnetic Ni(II) centers (J = −0.46 cm⁻¹) through long diamagnetic [Fe(CN)₅(NO)]²⁻ bridges. Spin state of the iron atom was established by ⁵⁷Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopy.

Photochromic transformations in solutions of 8,8′-diquinolyl disulfide and di(mercaptoquinolinato)nickel(<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">II</Emphasis>)

The nature of intermediate species and their reactions were studied by laser pulse photolysis for a photochromic system consisting of 8,8′-diquinolyl disulfide (RSSR) and a planar Ni^II complex di(mercaptoquinolinato)nickel(II) (Ni(SR)₂) in toluene and benzene solutions. Under exposure to laser radiation, disulfide RSSR dissociates to two RS^· radicals, whose spectrum has an intense absorption band with a maximum at λ = 400 nm (ε = 8400 L mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹). The radicals disappear by recombination (2k _rec = 4.6 · 10⁹ L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹). In the presence of the Ni(SR)₂ complex, coordination of the radical (k _coord = 4.4 · 10⁹ L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹) competes with recombination to form a radical complex RS^· Ni(SR)₂ having an intense absorption band with a maximum at 460 nm (ε = 16 600 L mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹). This species decays in the second-order reaction (2k = 4.6 · 10⁴ L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹). Since the photochromic system returns to the initial state, the reaction of two radical complexes is assumed to produce radical recombination and reduction of the disulfide and Ni(SR)₂ complex. Analysis of the kinetic data showed that some RS^· radicals decay in the microsecond time interval due to the reaction with the RS^· Ni(SR)₂ radical complex (k = 3.1 · 10⁹ L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹).

Syntheses, crystal structures, and properties of two salts based on Ni(mnt)2 (mnt2− = maleonitriledithiolate) anion and substituted triphenylphosphonium cation

Two new salts, [oClBzTPP]₂⁺[Ni(mnt)₂]²⁻(1) and [oClBzTPP]⁺[Ni(mnt)₂]⁻(2) ([oClBzTPP]⁺ = 1-(2′-chlorobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium and mnt²⁻ = maleonitriledithiolate) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, UV, IR, MS spectra, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility. The Ni ions of the Ni(mnt)₂ anions for 1 and 2 exhibit the square-planar coordination geometry. The Ni(III) ions of 2 form a 1D zigzag alternating magnetic chain within a Ni(mnt)₂⁻ column through Ni···S, S···S, or Ni···Ni interactions. The C–H···N, C–H···S, C–H···π hydrogen bonds or π···π stacking interactions play important roles in the molecular stabilizing and stacking of 1 and 2. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 1.8−300 K show that 2 exhibits diamagnetic behavior.     

Iron(III)–salen–H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> as a peroxidase model: electron transfer reactions with anilines

Abstract  

Iron(III)–salen complexes catalyze the H₂O₂ oxidation of various ring-substituted anilines in MeCN have been studied, and [O=Fe^IV(salen)]^+· is proposed as the active species. Study of the kinetics of the reaction by spectrophotometry shows the emergence of a new peak at 445 nm in the spectrum which corresponds to azobenzene. Further oxidation of azobenzene by H₂O₂ leads to the formation of azoxybenzene. ESI–MS studies also support the formation of these products. The rate constants for the oxidation of meta- and para-substituted anilines were determined from the rate of decay of oxidant as well as the rate of formation of azobenzene, and the reaction follows Michaelis–Menten kinetics. The rate data show a linear relationship with the Hammett σ constants and yield a ρ value of −1.1 to −2.4 for substituent variation in the anilines. A reaction mechanism involving electron transfer from aniline to [O=Fe(salen)]^+· is proposed. The presence of axial ligands modulates the activity of the complex.     

Reactions of melatonin with radicals in deoxygenated aqueous solution

Reactions of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) with radiolytically generated radicals were studied. Reaction of melatonin with OH radicals is diffusion-controlled (k=1.2·10¹⁰ dm³ mol⁻¹·s⁻¹), the main (but not the only one) intermediate being the indolyl-type radical, while the rate constant for the reaction with hydrated electrons isk=4.3·10⁸ dm³·mol⁻¹·s⁻¹. Melatonin is capable of scavenging tert-butanol radicals, while its reactivity towards polymer radicals of poly(acrylic acid) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) is very low.     

Preparation of a novel polymer gel electrolyte based on N-methyl-quinoline iodide and its application in quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell

Using poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene) as polymer host, 1,2-propanediol carbonate, dimethyl carbonate and ethylene carbonate as mixture solvent, N-methyl-quinoline iodide and iodine as the source of I⁻/I₃ ⁻, a novel polymer gel electrolyte with ionic conductivity of 5.12 × 10⁻³ S· cm⁻¹ at 25°C was prepared by sol-gel and hydrothermal methods. Based on the polymer gel electrolyte, a quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell was fabricated. The solar cell possess better long-term stability and light-to-electrical energy conversion efficiency of 4.04% under irradiation of 100 mW· cm⁻². The influences of polymer host, solvent, N-methyl-quinoline iodide and temperature on ionic conductivity of the polymer gel electrolyte and the performance of the dye-sensitized solar cell was discussed.     

Preparation and reactivity of metal-containing monomers

The thermal decomposition of iron (III) acrylate, [Fe₃O(CH₂=CHCOO)₆ · 3H₂O]OH (FeAcr), a monomer with a complex cluster cation, has been studied at 200–370 °C. Thermal transformations of FeAcr occur in two temperature regions. The rates of gas evolution in the low temperature region (200–300 °C) and the high temperature region (300–370 °C) are described by first-order equations withk=4.2 · 10²¹exp[−59000/(RT)] s⁻¹ andk=1.3 · 10⁶exp[−30500/(RT)] s⁻¹, respectively. A study of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the products of FeAcr thermolysis was carried out. The thermal transformation of FeAcr is a complex process of dehydration, degradation, and polymerization in the solid phase followed by decarboxylation of the metal-carboxyl groups of the polymer. for part 33 see Ref. 1.

Organophosphoryl polyoxotungstates α-[R2PW9O34]5− [R = PhP(S), C6H11P(O), H2NCH(n-Pr)P(O)]

Tetrabutylammonium salts of organophosphoryl derivatives of tungstophosphate of formula α-[R₂PW₉O₃₄]⁵⁻ [R = PhP(S), C₆H₁₁P(O), H₂NCH(n-Pr)P(O)] have been prepared, purified and characterized by elemental analysis, i.r., ³¹P- and ¹⁸³W-n.m.r. spectroscopy.

The five-line ¹⁸³W spectra indicates that the hybrid anions possess C _s symmetry in acetonitrile. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Syntheses and structures of nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with biacetyl bis(benzoylhydrazone): one-dimensional self-assembly via π–π interaction and hydrogen bonding

Reactions of Ni(O₂CCH₃)₂·4H₂O and Cu(O₂CCH₃)₂·H₂O with biacetyl bis(benzoylhydrazone) (H₂babh) in alcoholic media afford mononuclear nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of general formula [M(babh)]. The complexes have been characterized by microanalysis (C, H, N), magnetic susceptibility, and various spectroscopic measurements. X-ray structures of both complexes have been determined. The metal centre in [Ni(babh)] is in square-planar N₂O₂ environment provided by the tetradentate babh²⁻. On the other hand, [Cu(babh)] crystallizes as distorted square-pyramidal [Cu(babh)(CH₃OH)] from methanol. Here the tetradentate babh²⁻ constitutes the N₂O₂ square-base and the O-coordinating methanol occupies the apical site. In the crystal lattice, the molecules of [Ni(babh)] form a one-dimensional π-stacked structure. The [Cu(babh)(CH₃OH)] molecules also form a one-dimensional structure with alternating long and short Cu···Cu distances via intermolecular O–H···N hydrogen bonding and π–π interaction.     

Hemoglobin-stabilized tetranitrosyl binuclear iron complex with pyridine-2-yl in aqueous solutions

The tetranitrosyl iron complex with pyridine-2-yl [Fe₂(SC₅H₄N)₂(NO)₄] (1) has higher NO-donating activity in 3% aqueous solutions of DMSO (pH 7.0, 25 °C) than the organic NO donor, viz., adduct of NO with diethylenetriamine (NO-adduct). The NO concentration was determined by the spectrophotometric method based on the formation of an NO complex with hemoglobin (Hb). The apparent first-order rate constants of the studied reactions are (6.15±0.6)·10⁻¹ s⁻¹ and (0.8±0.08)·10⁻¹ s⁻¹ for complex 1 and the NO-adduct, respectively, at an Hb concentration of 2·10⁻¹ mol L⁻¹ and the ratio [NO donor]/[Hb] = 10. The effect of Hb and [NO donor]/[Hb] ratio on the rate of NO generation from a solution of complex 1 was studied. For a fourfold decrease in the concentration of complex 1 the reaction rate constant decreases to 0.5·10⁻⁴ s⁻¹, whereas the fourfold increase in the Hb concentration results in the stabilization of complex 1.

A new octahedral cobalt(III) complex of (1,8)- bis (2-hydroxybenzamido)-3,6-diazaoctane incorporating phenolate-amide-amine coordination: synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, ligand substitution and redox activity with sulfur(IV) and l -ascorbic acid

The octahedral complex, [Co^III(HL)]·9H₂O (H₄L = (1,8)-bis(2-hydroxybenzamido)-3,6-diazaoctane) incorporating bis carboxamido-N-, bis sec-NH, phenolate, and phenol coordination has been synthesized and characterized by analytical, NMR (¹H, ¹³C), e.s.i.-Mass, UV–vis, i.r., and Raman spectroscopy. The formation of the complex has also been confirmed by its single crystal X-ray structure. The cyclic voltammetry of the sample in DMF ([TEAP] = 0.1 mol dm⁻³, TEAP = tetraethylammonium perchlorate) displayed irreversible redox processes, [Co^III(HL)] → [Co^IV(HL)]⁺ and [Co^III(HL)] → [Co^II(HL)]⁻ at 0.41 and −1.09 V (versus SCE), respectively. A slow and H⁺ mediated isomerisation was observed for the protonated complex, [Co^III(H₂L)]⁺ (pK = 3.5, 25 °C, I = 0.5 mol dm⁻³). H₂Asc was an efficient reductant for the complex and the reaction involved outer sphere mechanism; the propensity of different species for intra molecular reduction followed the sequence: [{[Co^III(HL)],(H₂Asc)}–H]⁻ <<< {[Co^III(H₂L)],(H₂Asc)}⁺ < {[Co^III(HL)],(H₂Asc)}. A low value (ca. 3.7 × 10⁻¹⁰ dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹, 25 °C, I = 0.5 mol dm⁻³) for the self exchange rate constant of the couple [Co^III(HL)]/[Co^II(HL)]⁻ indicated that the ligand HL³⁻ with amido (N-) donor offers substantial stability to the Co^III state. HSO₃⁻ and [Co^III(HL)] formed an outer sphere complex {[Co^III(HL)],(HSO₃⁻)}, which was slowly transformed to an inner sphere S-bonded sulfito complex, [Co^III(H₂L)(HSO₃)] and the latter was inert to reduction by external sulfite but underwent intramolecular S^IV → Co^III electron transfer very slowly.

Synthesis,spectral, and antifungal studies of transition metal complexes with sixteen-membered hexadentate macrocylic ligand

A novel hexadentate nitrogen donor [N₆] macrocyclic ligand viz, 1,5,11,15,21,22-hexaaza-2,14-dimethyl-l4,12-diphenyltricyclo[15.3.1.I(7–11)]docosane[1,4,6,8,10(22)-11,14,16,18,20(21)]decaene (L), has been synthesised. The Co (II), Ni (II), and Cu (II) complexes with this ligand have been prepared and subjected to elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, ¹H NMR (ligand), IR, electronic, and ESR spectral studies and electrochemical investigation. On the basis of molar conductance the complexes can be formulated as [M(L)]X₂ (where M = Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and X = Cl⁻ and NO₃⁻) due to their 1: 2 electrolytic nature in DMSO. All the complexes are of the high-spin type and are six-coordinated. On the basis of IR, electronic, and ESR spectral studies, an octahedral geometry has been assigned for the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, whereas a tetragonal geometry for the Cu(II) complexes was found. Antimicrobial activity of L and its complexes as growth inhibiting agents have been screened in vitro against two species (F. moniliformae and R. solani) of plant pathogenic fungi.

Reaction mechanism studies on isoquinoline with hydroxyl radical in aqueous solutions

The reaction mechanism between isoquinoline and ·OH radical in aqueous dilute solutions under different conditions was studied by pulse radiolysis. The main characteristic peaks in these transient absorption spectra were attributed and the growth-decay trends of several transient species were investigated. Under neutral or alkaline conditions, the reaction of ·OH radical and isoquinoline produces OH-adducts with respective rate constants of 3.4 × 10⁹ and 6.6 × 10⁹ mol⁻¹ · dm³ · s⁻¹ while under acidic conditions, the isoquinoline was firstly protonated and then ·OH added to the benzene ring and produced protonated isoquinoline OH-adducts with a rate constant of 3.9 × 10⁹ mol⁻¹ · dm³ · s⁻¹. With a better understanding on radiolysis of isoquinoline, this study is of help for its degradation and for environmental protection. __________ Translated from Journal of Fudan University (Natural Science), 2006, 45(6): 774–778 [8BD1;81EA: 590D;65E6;5B66;62A5;(自然科学版)]
