The synthesis of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes of 2-pyridine-2-yl-3(pyridine-2-carboxylideneamino)-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-4(3H)-one is described. The ligand and metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, spectral (u.v.–vis., i.r., 1D n.m.r., 2D hetcor and mass) and thermal studies. The cobalt(II) complex crystallizes as pink crystals in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n with a = 10.066(6) Å, b = 15.929(9) Å, c = 12.624(7) Å, α = 90.00(9)°, β = 110.850 (8)°, γ = 90.00, V = 1891.5 (18) ų and Z = 4.

The silica-like extended polymorphism of cobalt(II) imidazolate three-dimensional frameworks: X-ray single-crystal structures and magnetic properties

Five polymorphous frameworks of cobalt(II) imidazolates (1-5) have been prepared by solvatothermal syntheses. Of these, compound 3 has already been synthesized in a gas-phase reaction by Seel et al. in 1969 and structurally characterized by Sturm et al. in 1975. The new synthetic strategy affords four polymorphous frameworks of cobalt(II) imidazolates (1, 2, 4, 5) of crystalline substances, of which the compound 4 (a = b = 23.450(3), c = 12.460(3) A, tetragonal, I4(1)cd, Z = 16) is an isomorphous compound of [Zn(im)(2)]( infinity ), which was also synthesized in a gas-phase reaction in 1980. The frameworks of compounds 1 and 2 are porous and isostructural; they have the same framework topology that represents a novel uninodal (6,4)-net: 1: a = 18.513(4), b = 24.368(5), c = 9.2940(19) A, orthorhombic, Fdd2, Z = 16; 2: a = 17.635(4), b = 27.706(6), c = 9.0810(18) A, orthorhombic, Fdd2, Z = 16. The framework of compound 5 exhibits a topology of zeolitic structure with the unit-cell parameters: a = 24.3406(8), b = 9.4526(3), c = 24.8470(8) A, beta = 91.977(1) degrees, monoclinic, P2(1)/n, Z = 4. All polymorphous frameworks of cobalt(II) imidazolates reflect the structural features of silica (SiO(2)) and also exhibit different magnetic behaviors, although the imidazolates transmit the antiferromagnetic coupling between the cobalt(II) ions in all cases. However, the uncompensated antiferromagnetic couplings arise from spin-canting are sensitive to the structures: compound 1 is an antiferromagnet with T(N) = 13.11 K; compounds 2-4 are weak ferromagnets (canted antiferromagnets): 2 shows a very weak ferromagnetism below 15 K, 3 exhibits a relatively strong ferromagnetism below 11.5 K and a coercive field (H(C)) of 1800 Oe at 1.8 K, and 4 displays the strongest ferromagnetism of the three cobalt imidazolates and demonstrates a T(C) of 15.5 K with a coercive field, H(C), of 7300 Oe at 1.8 K. However, compound 5 seems to be a hidden canted antiferromagnet with a magnetic ordering temperature of 10.6 K.     

A dinuclear cobalt(II) complex of calix[8]arenes exibiting strong magnetic anisotropy

The solvothermal reaction of cobalt(II) acetate with p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene (calix) and triethylamine affords the compound (Et3NH)2 [CoII2(calix)2] (.2Et3NH) that shows a hydrogen bond bridged dinuclear complex [CoII2(calix)2]2- () with cobalt(II) ions in a tetrahedral geometry. The compound crystallises in the monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n with cell parameters a=14.89(1) A, b=20.90(2) A, c=30.87(4) A, beta=102.57(7) degrees, V=9376(16) A3, Z=2. The magnetic studies together with ab initio calculations are evidence of an important role of the geometry of the second coordination sphere of carbon and hydrogen atoms around the CoO4 core in quantifying the zero field splitting on cobalt sites. This results in strong magnetic anisotropies with a negative axial component on the cobalt fragments.     

Photoinduced spin transition for Iron(II) compounds with liquid-crystal properties

The iron(II) compounds [Fe(3Cn-L)2(NCS)2] (n = 6 (1), n = 8 (2), n = 10 (3), n = 12 (4), n = 14 (5), n = 16 (6), n = 18 (7), n = 20 (8), and n = 22 (9)) were synthesized and their physical properties characterized by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and powder X-ray analysis, where 3Cn-L denotes bidentate Schiff-base ligands formed from the corresponding aniline derivatives and pyridine-2-carboxyaldehyde. The iron(II) compounds 4-8 exhibited crystal to liquid-crystal transitions at 318, 334, 345, 338, and 347 K, respectively. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed that the compounds 1-9 exhibit spin-crossover behavior between the high-spin and low-spin states and a photoinduced spin transition from a low-spin state to a metastable high-spin state. Therefore, the iron(II) compounds 4-8 can undergo spin-crossover and photoinduced spin transition as well as have liquid-crystal properties all in a single molecule. Compounds with multifunctions are important in the development of molecular switches and optical materials.

Copper(II) complexes of a novel pyrazole containing porphyrinogen and cobalt(III) and zinc(II) complexes of a pyrazole containing tripodal ligand having N-donor atoms have been investigated. 5-Methyl-3-formylpyrazole (MPA) on reaction with copper(II) nitrate or perchlorate in the presence of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) forms novel pyrazole-based porphyrinogen complexes [Cu(T(3)-porphyrinogen)(H(2)O)](NO(3))(2) (1a) and [Cu(T(3)-porphyrinogen)(H(2)O)](ClO(4))(2) (1b) where T(3)-porphyrinogen is 1,6,11,16-tetraaza-5,10,15,20-tetrahydroxy-2,7,12,17-tetramethylporphyrinogen. The same products are also obtained when tren is replaced by triethylamine. By contrast, the reaction between MPA, tren, and cobalt(II) perchlorate produces the cobalt(III) complex [Co(HMPz(3)tren)]ClO(4) (2) derived from the tripodal Schiff base tris[4-(3-(5-methyl-pyrazolyl)-3-aza-3-butenyl]amine (H(3)MPz(3)tren). The X-ray crystal structures of the copper(II) complexes (1a and 1b) and the cobalt(III) complex (2) have been determined. The structures show distorted square pyramidal coordination environments for 1a and 1b with the water molecule occupying the apical site, while for complex 2 a distorted octahedral geometry is obtained. Data for 1a follow: a = 19.476(3) A, b = 9.4116(8) A, c = 14.204(3) A; alpha = 90 degrees = gamma, beta = 107.58(2) degrees; V = 2482.0(7) A(3), Z = 4. Data for 1b follow: a = 20.967(3) A, b = 9.1563(18) A, c = 14.858(4) A; alpha = 90 degrees = gamma, beta = 108.44(3) degrees; V = 2706.0(10) A(3), Z = 4.

Tetrahedral-Octahedral Equilibrium of the Solvated Cobalt(II) Ion in n-Propylamine As Studied by EXAFS and Electronic Absorption Spectroscopy

Solvated cobalt(II) ions in neat 1,3-propanediamine (tn) and n-propylamine (pa) have been characterized by electronic absorption spectroscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The equilibrium between tetrahedral and octahedral geometry for cobalt(II) ion has been observed in a neat pa solution, but not in neat diamine solutions such as tn and ethylenediamine (en). The thermodynamic parameters and equilibrium constant at 298 K for the geometrical equilibrium in pa were determined to be DeltaH degrees = -36.1 +/- 2.3 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS degrees = -163 +/- 8 J mol(-1) K(-1), and K(298) = 6.0 x 10(-3) M(-2), where K = [Co(pa)(6)(2+)]/{[Co(pa)(4)(2+)][pa](2)}. The equilibrium is caused by the large entropy gain in formation of the tetrahedral cobalt(II) species. The solvent exchange of cobalt(II) ion with octahedral geometry in tn and pa solutions has been studied by the (14)N NMR line-broadening method. The activation parameters and rate constants at 298 K for the solvent exchange reactions are as follows: DeltaH() = 49.3 +/- 0.9 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS() = 25 +/- 3 J mol(-1) K(-1), DeltaV() = 6.6 +/- 0.3 cm(3) mol(-1) at 302.1 K, and k(298) = 2.9 x 10(5) s(-1) for the tn exchange, and DeltaH() = 36.2 +/- 1.2 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS() = 35 +/- 6 J mol(-1) K(-1), and k(298) = 2.0 x 10(8) s(-1) for the pa exchange. By comparison of the activation parameters with those for the en exchange of cobalt(II) ion, it has been confirmed that the kinetic chelate strain effect is attributed to the large activation enthalpy for the bidentate chelate opening and that the enthalpic effect is smaller in the case of the six-membered tn chelate compared with the five-membered en chelate.
