Allylpalladium dimers with metals connected by binucleating dithiooxamidates in two different coordination modes: solution behavior and solid-state structure

A series of allylpalladium dimers having metals connected by binucleating dialkyldithiooxamidate [N(R)SC-CS(R)N](2-) [R = methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, benzyl, isoamyl, (S)-1-(1-phenyl)ethyl, meso-(1-phenyl)ethyl, and rac-(1-phenyl)ethyl] were prepared by reacting the monochelate [(η(3)-allyl)Pd(N(R)SC-CS(R)NH κ-S,S Pd)] with [(η(3)-allyl)PdCl](2) in chloroform. At low temperature (20 °C), the bimetallic complexes [(η(3)-allyl)Pd](2)(μ-dialkyldithiooxamidate κ-N,N' Pd, κ-S,S' Pd') (kinetic compounds) are formed in a short reaction time (10 min). At a higher temperature (50 °C) and a longer reaction time (24 h), the corresponding bimetallic isomers [(η(3)-allyl)Pd](2)(μ-dialkyldithiooxamidate κ-N,S Pd, κ-N',S' Pd') (thermodynamic compounds) are obtained. Both kinetic and thermodynamic compounds can exist as endo or exo isomers, depending on the reciprocal orientation of the allyl cuspids. Both endo and exo isomers are only detectable in solution when the alkyl substituents are chiral alkyl groups. Moreover, diffractometric modeling agrees with the presence of both isomers in the solid state even when the alkyl substituent is an achiral alkyl group. In a chloroform solution, endo and exo isomers undergo isomeric conversion owing to the apparent allyl rotation that follows the Pd-N bond rupture in the (η(3)-allyl)Pd(N^N) frame of kinetic compounds or in the (η(3)-allyl)Pd(N^S) frame of thermodynamic compounds. The dithiooxamidate [N(R)SC-CS(R)N](2-), when engaged in a κ-N,S Pd, κ-N',S' Pd' coordination mode, behaves as a hybrid hemilabile binucleating ligand. At room temperature and in a chloroform solution, the kinetic compounds rearrange into the thermodynamically more stable isomers in about 3 or 4 days. The higher stability of the thermodynamic species was evaluated by means of computational studies in accordance with the maximum hardness principle. Finally, the crystal structures of [(η(3)-allyl)Pd](2)(μ-diethyldithiooxamidate κ-N,S Pd, κ-N',S' Pd'), [(η(3)-allyl)Pd](2)(μ-meso-(1-phenyl)ethyldithiooxamidate κ-N,S Pd, κ-N',S' Pd'), and [(η(3)-allyl)Pd](2)(μ-rac-(1-phenyl)ethyldithiooxamidate κ-N,N' Pd, κ-S,S' Pd') are reported.

Salen complexes of the heavy alkaline-earth metals, calcium and strontium, were prepared by the reaction of various salen(t-Bu)H(2) ligands with the metals in ethanol. Six new calcium and strontium compounds, [Ca(salen(t-Bu))(HOEt)(2)(thf)] (1), [Ca(salen(t-Bu))(HOEt)(2)] (2), [Ca(salpen(t-Bu))(HOEt)(3)] (3), [Ca(salophen(t-Bu))(HOEt)(thf)] (4), [Sr(salen(t-Bu))(HOEt)(3)] (5), and [Sr(salophen(t-Bu))(HOEt)(thf)(2)] (6), were formed in this way with the quatridentate Schiff-base ligands N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)ethylenediamine (salen(t-Bu)H(2)), N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine (salpen(t-Bu)H(2)), and N,N'-o-phenylenebis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylideneimine (salophen(t-Bu)H(2)). Initially, ammonia solutions of the metals were combined with the salen(t-Bu)H(2) ligands, and in the reaction of strontium with salen(t-Bu)H(2), the unusual tetrametallic cluster [(OC(6)H(2)(t-Bu)(2)CHN(CH(2))(2)NH(2))Sr(mu(3)-salean(t-Bu)H(2))Sr(mu(3)-OH)](2) (7) was produced (salean(t-Bu)H(4) = N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine). In this compound, the imine bonds of the salen(t-Bu)H(2) ligand were reduced to form the known ligands salean(t-Bu)H(4) and (HO)C(6)H(2)(t-Bu)(2)CHN(CH(2))(2)NH(2).

Preparation of three positional isomers of diglucosyl-cyclomaltohexaose.

Three positional isomers of diglucosyl-cyclomaltohexaose (diglucosyl-cG6) were chemically synthesized via 6(1),6(2)-, 6(1),6(3)-, and 6(1),6(4)-di-O-(TERT-butyldimethylsilyl)-cG6S (1, 2, and 3) prepared regiospecifically. Glucosylation of bis(2,3-di-O-acetyl)tetrakis(2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl)-CG6S obtained from the three regioisomeric compounds 1, 2, and 3 with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-O-trichloroacetimidoyl-alpha-D-glucopyran ose, followed by debenzylation and then deacetylation, afforded 6(1),6(2)-, 6(1),6(3)-, and 6(1),6(4)-di-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-cG6S (10, 11, and 12) together with configurational isomers. The desired compounds 10, 11, and 12 containing two (1----6)-alpha-linkages were isolated from the mixtures of their configurational isomers by high performance liquid chromatography. The three diglucosyl-cG6S synthesized chemically were used as authentic samples to identify the components in a mixture of diglucosyl-cG6S produced by an enzymatic process.

Mononuclear (Pd, Pt), heterodinuclear (PdAg, PtAg), and tetranuclear (Pd2Ag2, Pt2Ag2) 1,1-ethylenedithiolato complexes

lp;&-5q;1 The reactions of [Tl2[S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]]n with [MCl2L2] (1:1) or with [MCl2(NCPh)2] and PPh3 (1:1:2) give complexes [M[eta2-S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]L2] [M = Pt, L2 = 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) (1); L2 = bpy, M = Pd (2a), Pt (2b), L = PPh3, M = Pd (3a), Pt (3b)] whereas with MCl2 and QCl (2:1:2) anionic derivatives Q2[M[eta2-S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]2] [M = Pd, Q = NMe4 (4a), Ph3P=N=PPh3 (PPN) (4a'), M = Pt, Q = NMe4 (4b)] are produced. Complexes 1 and 3 react with AgClO4 (1:1) to give tetranuclear complexes [[ML2]2Ag2[mu2,eta2-(S,S')-[S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]2]](ClO4)2 [L = PPh3, M = Pd (5a), Pt (5b), L2 = cod, M = Pt (5b')], while the reactions of 3 with AgClO4 and PPh3 (1:1:2) give dinuclear [[M(PPh3)2][Ag(PPh3)2][mu2,eta2-(S,S')-S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]]]ClO4 [M = Pd (6a), Pt (6b)]. The crystal structures of 3a, 3b, 4a, and two crystal forms of 5b have been determined. The two crystal forms of 5b display two [Pt(PPh3)2][mu2,eta2-(S,S')-[S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]2] moieties bridging two Ag(I) centers.     

CuI complexes with N,N',S,S' scorpionate ligands: evidence for dimer-monomer equilibria

The heteroscorpionate N, N', S, S' donor ligands 4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-(3-(methylthio)-1-(3-(2-(methylthio)phenyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)propyl)pyridine (L(a)) and 4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-(2-(methylthio)-1-(3-(2-(methylthio)phenyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethyl)pyridine (L(b)) were prepared. The Cu(I) complexes [Cu(L(a))]2(BF4)2 (a2(BF4)2) and [Cu(L(b))]2(BF4)2 (b2(BF4)2) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Both compounds exhibit a dinuclear structure, presenting each Cu(I) center in a distorted N, N', S, S' tetrahedral environment. On the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ESI-mass data, the presence of a mononuclear complex in equilibrium with the dimer was hypothesized for both complexes. The dimerization constants of the processes, 2a(+) = a2(2+) and 2b(+) = b2(2+) , were obtained by (1)H NMR dilution experiments (fast-exchange regime) in CD 3CN: log K(a2(2+)) = 3.55(6) and log K(b2(2+)) = 3.23(5) at 300 K. Thermodynamic parameters were determined by a van't Hoff analysis (280-310 K temperature range): DeltaH(0)(a2(2+)) = -12(1) kJ mol (-1), DeltaH(0)(b2(2+)) = -10(1) kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(0)(a2(2+)) = +27(4) kJ mol (-1), and DeltaS(0)(b2(2+)) = +28(4) kJ mol (-1). Pulsed gradient spin-echo (PGSE) NMR experiments provided the weighted-average hydrodynamic volume (VH) of the species present in CD 3CN solution at different copper concentrations (CCu). Nonlinear interpolation of VH as a function of C Cu for a dimer-monomer equilibrium led to the hydrodynamic volumes of both monomers (VH(0)(M)) and dimers (VH(0)(D)): VH(0)(a(+)) = 620(40) A(3), VH(0)(b(+)) = 550(10) A(3), VH(0)(a2(2+)) = 950(20) A(3), and VH(0)(b2(2+)) = 900(10) A(3). Cyclic voltammetry experiments performed in CH3CN and CH2Cl2 showed a quasi-reversible to irreversible behavior of the Cu(I)/Cu(II) redox couple for both complexes.     

Polydentate N(2)S(2)O and N(2)S(2)O(2) Ligands as Alcoholic Derivatives of (N,N'-Bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II) and (N,N'-Bis(2-mercapto-2-methylpropane)-1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II)

The synthesis, structural characterization, spectroscopic, and electrochemical properties of N(2)S(2)-ligated Ni(II) complexes, (N,N'-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II), (bme-daco)Ni(II), and (N,N'-bis(2-mercapto-2-methylpropane)1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II), (bme-daco)Ni(II), derivatized at S with alcohol-containing alkyl functionalities, are described. Reaction of (bme-daco)Ni(II) with 2-iodoethanol afforded isomers, (N,N'-bis(5-hydroxy-3-thiapentyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane-O,N,N',S,S')halonickel(II) iodide (halo = chloro or iodo), 1, and (N,N'-bis(5-hydroxy-3-thiapentyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane-N,N',S,S')nickel(II) iodide, 2, which differ in the utilization of binding sites in a potentially hexadentate N(2)S(2)O(2) ligand. Blue complex 1 contains nickel in an octahedral environment of N(2)S(2)OX donors; X is best modeled as Cl. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 12.580(6) ?, b = 12.291(6) ?, c = 13.090(7) ?, beta = 97.36(4) degrees, and Z = 4. In contrast, red complex 2 binds only the N(2)S(2) donor set forming a square planar nickel complex, leaving both -CH(2)CH(2)OH arms dangling; the iodide ions serve strictly as counterions. 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca2(1) with a = 15.822(2) ?, b = 13.171(2) ?, c = 10.0390(10) ?, and Z = 4. Reaction of (bme-daco)Ni(II) with 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol affords another octahedral Ni species with a N(2)S(2)OBr donor set, ((5-hydroxy-3,7-dithianonadiyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane-O,N,N',S,S')bromonickel(II) bromide, 3. Complex 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca2(1) with a = 15.202(5) ?, b = 7.735(2) ?, c = 15.443(4) ?, and Z = 4. Complex 4.2CH(3)CN was synthesized from the reaction of (bme-daco)Ni(II) with 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c with a = 20.348(5) ?, b = 6.5120(1) ?, c = 20.548(5) ?, and Z = 4.

Deprotonation of the N-thiophosphorylated thioureas RC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)(2) (R = Me(2)N, HL(I); iPrNH, HL(II); 2,6-Me(2)C(6)H(3)NH, HL(III), 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2)NH, HL(IV), aza-15-crown-5, HL(V)) and reaction with CuI or Cu(NO(3))(2) in aqueous EtOH leads to the polynuclear complexes [Cu(4)(L(I)-S,S')(4)], [Cu(8)(L(II)-S,S')(8)], and [Cu(3)(L(III-V)-S,S')(3)]. The structures of these compounds were investigated by IR, (1)H, (31)P{(1)H} NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The crystal structures of [Cu(4)L(I)(4)], [Cu(8)L(II)(8)], [Cu(3)L(III,IV)(3)] were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Reaction of the deprotonated ligands (L(I-V))(-) with a mixture of CuI and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or PPh(3) leads to the mixed-ligand mononuclear complexes [Cu(phen)L(I-V)], [Cu(PPh(3))L(I-V)] or [Cu(PPh(3))(2)L(I-V)]. The same mixed-ligand complexes were obtained from the reaction of [Cu(4)L(I)(4)], [Cu(8)L(II)(8)], [Cu(3)L(III-V)(3)] with phen or PPh(3).     

A series of complexes of the phosphorus-based TTF ligand o-P2 with the metal ions Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), and Ag(I)

Reactions of 3,4-dimethyl-3',4'-bis(diphenylphosphino)tetrathiafulvalene, o-P2, with [BF(4)](-) salts of Fe(ii), Co(ii), Ni(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II) yield complexes of general formula [M(o-P2)(2)][BF(4)](2). Similar reactions between o-P2 and AgSbF(6) or AgPF(6) produced the salts [Ag(o-P2)(2)][X] where X = [SbF(6)](-) or [PF(6)](-). The resulting compounds were fully characterized by (1)H and (31)P{(1)H} NMR, infrared and electronic absorption spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry, FAB-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The paramagnetic Co(II) compound exhibits an S = 3/2 state with large spin-orbit coupling contribution at higher temperatures and an effective S' = 1/2 state below 20 K. Electrochemical studies of the compounds indicate that the two functionalized TTF ligands are not in electronic communication and that they essentially behave as isolated redox centers.     

Toward rational control of metal stoichiometry in heterobimetallic coordination complexes: synthesis and characterization of Pb(Hsal)2(Cu(salen*))2, [Pb(NO3)(Cu(salen*))2](NO3), Pb(OAc)2(Cu(salen*)), and [Pb(OAc)(Ni(salen*))2](OAc)

The ability of the transition metal complex M(salen)* (M = Ni, Cu) to form Lewis acid-base adducts with lead(II) salts has been explored. The new complexes Pb(Hsal)(2)(Cu(salen*))(2) (1), [Pb(NO(3))(Cu(salen*))(2)](NO(3)) (2), Pb(OAc)(2)(Cu(salen*)) (3), and [Pb(OAc)(Ni(salen*)(2)](OAc) (4) (Hsal = O(2)CC(6)H(4)-2-OH, salen* = bis(3-methoxy)salicylideneimine) have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination environment of the lead in the heterobimetallic complex is sensitive both to the initial lead salt and to the transition metal salen* complex that is employed in the synthesis. As a result, we have been able to access both 2:1 and 1:1 adducts by varying either the lead salt or the transition metal in the heterobimetallic coordination complex. In all cases, the salen* complex is associated with the lead center via dative interactions of the phenolic oxygen atoms. The relationship between the coordination requirements of the lead and the chemical nature of the anion is examined. In compound 1, the Pb(2+) ion is chelated by two Cu(salen*) moieties, and both salicylate ligands remain attached to the lead center and bridge to the Cu(2+) ions. The two Cu(salen*) groups are roughly parallel and opposed to each other as required by crystallographic inversion symmetry at lead. In contrast, the two Cu(salen*) groups present in 2 and 4 attached to the lead ion show considerable overlap. Furthermore, only one nitrate ion in 2 and one acetate ion in 4 remain bonded to the lead center. Compound 3 is unique in that only one Cu(salen*) group can bind to lead. Here, both acetate ligands remain attached, although one is chelating bidentate and the other is monodentate.
