新型富勒烯C60有机钴配合物(η2-C60)(η5-RC5H4)CoPPh3 (R=H,CO2Et)的合成及性质研究

鉴于富勒烯C₆₀所具有的缺电子烯烃的特性¹以及CpCo(PPh₃)₂可与烯或炔反应生成钴杂环有机化合物,^2,3 因此我们设想如果用C₆₀代替烯、炔,令其与η⁵-RC₅H₄Co(PPh₃)₂(1) 或η⁵-RC₅H₄Co(PPh₃)(PhC≡CPh)(2)反应,则应得到一类新型的富勒烯C₆₀有机钴杂环化合物。然而与这一设想不同的是,上述反应并未得到预期的C₆₀钴杂环有机物,所得到的却是另一类新型的有机钴C₆₀衍生物(η²-C₆₀)(η⁵-RC₅H₄)CoPPh₃(3).此外,我们发现当3或2同I₂反应时,可生成C₆₀或PhC≡CPh配体被I₂置换产物η⁵-RC₅H₄Co(PPh₃)I₂(4)。

Synthesis, structure and reactivity of cuboidal-type cluster aqua complexes with W3PdS4 4+ core

The reaction of PdCl(2) with [W3S4(H2O)9]4+ in the presence of hypophosphorous acid in 2 M HCl gives cuboidal cluster [W3(PdCl)S4(H2O)9]3+ (1) which undergoes condensation and crystallises from Hpts solutions as edge-linked double cubane cluster [{W3PdS4(H2O)9}2](pts)(8).19H2O (pts = p-toluenesulfonate) (1'). The substitution of Cl- in (1) by different ligands was explored.

Octanuclear and nonanuclear supramolecular copper(II) complexes with linear "tritopic" ligands: structural and magnetic studies

The structures and magnetic properties of self-assembled copper(II) clusters and grids with the "tritopic" ligands 2poap (a), Cl2poap (b), m2poap (c), Cl2pomp (d), and 2pomp (e) are described [ligands derived by reaction of 4-R-2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic hydrazide (R = H, Cl, MeO) with 2-pyridinemethylimidate (a-c, respectively) or 2-acetylpyridine (d, R = Cl; e, R = H)]. Cl2poap and Cl2pomp self-assemble with Cu(NO(3))(2) to form octanuclear "pinwheel" cluster complexes [Cu(8)(Cl2poap-2H)(4)(NO(3))(8)].20H(2)O (1) and [Cu(8)(Cl2pomp-2H)(4)(NO(3))(8)].15H(2)O (2), built on a square [2 x 2] grid with four pendant copper arms, using "mild" reaction conditions. Similar reactions of Cl2pomp and 2pomp with Cu(ClO(4))(2) produce pinwheel clusters [Cu(8)(Cl2pomp-2H)(4)(H(2)O)(8)](ClO(4))(8).7H(2)O (3) and [Cu(8)(2pomp-2H)(4)(H(2)O)(8)](ClO(4))(8) (4), respectively. Heating a solution of 1 in MeOH/H(2)O produces a [3 x 3] nonanuclear square grid complex, [Cu(9)(Cl2poap-H)(3)(Cl2poap-2H)(3)](NO(3))(9).18H(2)O (5), which is also produced by direct reaction of the ligand and metal salt under similar conditions. Reaction of m2poap with Cu(NO(3))(2) produces only the [3 x 3] grid [Cu(9)(m2poap-H)(2)(m2poap-2H)(4)](NO(3))(8).17H(2)O (6) under similar conditions. Mixing the tritopic ligand 2poap with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (picd) in the presence of Cu(NO(3))(2) produces a remarkable mixed ligand, nonanuclear grid complex [Cu(9)(2poap-H)(4)(picd-H)(3)(picd-2H)](NO(3))(9).9H(2)O (7), in which aromatic pi-stacking interactions are important in stabilizing the structure. Complexes 1-3 and 5-7 involve single oxygen atom (alkoxide) bridging connections between adjacent copper centers, while complex 4 has an unprecedented mixed micro-(N-N) and micro-O metal ion connectivity. Compound 1 (C(76)H(92)N(44)Cu(8)O(50)Cl(4)) crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group I, with a = 21.645(1) A, c = 12.950(1) A, and Z = 2. Compound 2 (C(84)H(88)N(36)O(44)Cl(4)Cu(8)) crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group I, with a = 21.2562(8) A, c = 12.7583(9) A, and Z = 2.

All complexes exhibit dominant intramolecular ferromagnetic exchange coupling, resulting from an orthogonal bridging arrangement within each polynuclear structure.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Photophysical Properties of Cu（Ⅰ） Complexes Containing 2,5-Bis（pyridyl）-1,3,4-oxadiazole

Four novel Cu(Ⅰ) complexes,[Cu(o-PYO)(PPh3)2]BF4(1),[Cu(o-PYO)(DPEphos)]BF4(2),[Cu2 (o-PYO)(PPh3)3(CH3CN)](BF4)2(3) and [Cu2(o-PYO)(DPEphos)2 ](BF4)2(4) (o-PYO=2,5bis(pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole,PPh 3=triphenylphosphine,DPEphos=bis(2-(diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl)ether),have been synthesized and characterized by 1 H NMR,elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The central cuprous ions in all complexes are surrounded by N and P atoms to form a distorted tetrahedral geometry,although one of the cuprous ions in complex 3 is coordinated by a PPh3 and an acetonitrile molecule due to the steric hindrance and weak coordination ability from monodentate PPh3 ligand.The UV-vis absorption spectra in CH2Cl2 show the characteristic metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption bands in the region of 360-480nm.Four Cu(I) complexes exhibit yellow to orange-red phosphorescence with the emission maximum at 572,577,562 and 597nm,respectively in the solid state.     

Asymmetric Schiff Base (N 2 O 3 ) Complexes as Ligands Towards Mn(II), Fe(III) and Co(II), Synthesis and Characterization

Heterobi- and tri-nuclear complexes [LMM'Cl] and [(LM) 2 M'](M=Ni or Cu and M'=Mn, Fe or Co) have been synthesised. The heteronuclear complexes were prepared by stepwise reactions using two mononuclear Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of the general formula [HLM]·1/2H 2 O, as ligands towards the metal ions, Mn(II), Fe(III) and Co(II). The asymmetrical pentadentate (N 2 O 3 ) Schiff-base ligands used were prepared by condensing acetoacetylphenol and ethylenediamine, molar ratio 1 1, to yield a half-unit compound which was further condensed with either salicylaldehyde or naphthaldehyde to yield the ligands H 3 L 1 and H 3 L 2 which possess two dissimilar coordination sites, an inner four-coordinate N 2 O 2 donor set and an outer three-coordinated O 2 O set. 1 H NMR and IR spectra indicate that the Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions are bonded to the inner N 2 O 2 sites of the ligands leaving their outer O 2 O sites vacant for further coordination. Different types of products were obtained according to the type of metal ion. These products differ in stoichiometry according to the type of ligand in the parent compound. Electronic spectra and magnetic moments indicate that the structures of the parent Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes are square-planar while the geometry around Fe(III), Mn(II) and Co(II) in their products are octahedral as elucidated from IR, UV-visible, ESR, 1 H NMR, mass spectrometry and magnetic moments.     

5,9,14,18,23,27,32,36-八烷氧基2,3-萘酞菁镍(Ⅱ)的结构与光谱性质关系的研究

测定了一组八烷氧基萘酞菁镍（Ⅱ）配合物Ni（Ⅱ）（RO）8NPC（R＝C4H9，C8H17，C12H25，NPC＝C48H16N8）在5种有机溶剂（Py、DMSO、DMF、CH2Cl2、C6H12）中的电子吸收光谱和荧光光谱，研究了这些配合物的结构与光谱的关系。结果表明该系列RO取代萘酞菁镍（Ⅱ）配合物的Q带吸收光谱比无取代的红移75nm左右，荧光光谱屯相应红移50～80nm，而溶剂对其影响不大。     

The Reaction of the Bis-spirocyclic Phosphazene [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 Cl 2 ] (O 2 C 12 H 8 = 2,2′-Dioxybiphenyl) with Thiophenols,in the Presence of Alkali Carbonates

The reactions of the spirocyclic phosphazene [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 Cl 2 ] (O 2 C 12 H 8 = 2,2'-dioxybiphenyl) with the thiophenols HS--C 6 H 4 --R and M 2 CO 3 (M = K or Cs) in refluxing acetone gave respectively the spirocyclic substituted derivatives [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 (SC 6 H 4 --R) 2 ] R = H ( 2a ), Br ( 2b ), OMe ( 2c ), NO 2 ( 2d ). The reaction is a two-step process the second of which is much faster than the first and the monosubstituted intermediate [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 (SC 6 H 4 --R)Cl] cannot be detected. By contrast, in the analogous reactions with the phenols HO--C 6 H 4 --R and M 2 CO 3 (M = K or Cs) in acetone or THF, to give the known derivatives [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 (OC 6 H 4 --R) 2 ], the first step is faster although both are very dependent on R, M and the solvent. Thus, in the case of the phenol HO--C 6 H 4 --OMe the reaction conditions could be adjusted to give the useful synthetic intermediate monosubstituted derivative [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 (OC 6 H 4 --OMe)Cl] ( 3 ). The reaction of [N 3 P 3 (O 2 C 12 H 8 ) 2 Cl 2 ] with the bifunctional reagent mercaptophenol HS--C 6 H 4 --OH was not specific and led to mixtures of cyclic and oligomeric products.

Crystal data: H(tepa)ClO(4), formula C(21)H(25)ClN(4)O(4), triclinic space group P1, Z = 2, a = 10.386(2) A, b = 10.723(2) A, c = 11.663(2) A, alpha = 108.77(3) degrees, beta = 113.81(3) degrees, gamma = 90.39(3) degrees; 1b-PF(6), formula C(19)H(20)CuF(6)N(4)P, orthorhombic space group Pbca, Z = 8, a = 14.413(3) A, b = 16.043(3) A, c = 18.288(4) A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees; (1c-PF(6)), formula C(20)H(22)CuF(6)N(4)P, orthorhombic space group Pbca, Z = 8, a = 13.306(3) A, b = 16.936(3) A, c = 19.163(4) A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees; 2b-ClO(4).H(2)O, formula C(19)H(22)Cl(2)CuN(4)O(5), triclinic space group P1, Z = 4, a = 11.967(2) A, b = 12.445(3) A, c = 15.668(3) A, alpha = 84.65(3) degrees, beta = 68.57(3) degrees, gamma = 87.33(3) degrees; 2c-ClO(4).H(2)O, formula C(20)H(24)Cl(2)CuN(4)O(5), monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, Z = 4, a = 11.2927(5) A, b = 13.2389(4) A, c = 15.0939(8) A, alpha = gamma = 90 degrees, beta = 97.397(2) degrees; 2c-ClO(4), formula C(20)H(22)Cl(2)CuN(4)O(4), monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, Z = 4, a = 8.7682(4) A, b = 18.4968(10) A, c = 13.2575(8) A, alpha = gamma = 90 degrees, beta = 94.219(4) degrees; 3b-PF(6), formula [C(19)H(20)CuF(7)N(4)P](2), monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, Z = 2, a = 11.620(5) A, b = 12.752(5) A, c = 15.424(6) A, alpha = gamma = 90 degrees, beta = 109.56(3) degrees. The oxidation of the copper(I) complexes with dioxygen was studied. [Cu(tmpa)(CH(3)CN)](+) (1a) reacts with dioxygen to form a dinuclear peroxo complex that is stable at low temperatures. In contrast, only a very labile peroxo complex was observed spectroscopically when 1b was reacted with dioxygen at low temperatures using stopped-flow kinetic techniques. No dioxygen adduct was detected spectroscopically during the oxidation of 1c, and 1d was found to be unreactive toward dioxygen. Reaction of dioxygen with 1a-PF(6), 1b-PF(6), and 1c-PF(6) at ambient temperatures leads to fluoride-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes as products. All copper(II) complexes were characterized by UV-vis, EPR, and electrochemical measurements. The results manifest the dramatic effects of ligand variations and particularly chelate ring size on structure and reactivity.     

Coinage metal complexes of 2-diphenylphosphino-3-methylindole

Coordination of P,N indolyl-phosphine ligands to Au(I), Ag(I) and Cu(I) metal ions under weakly basic conditions results in easy deprotonation of the indolyl N-H function and effective formation of a family of homo- and heterobimetallic complexes MM'(PPh(2)C(9)H(7)N)(2) (M = M' = Au (2), Ag (5); M = Au, M' = Cu (3), Ag (4)). The latter (4) exists as an inseparable mixture of four different complexes, which are in equilibrium driven by slow dynamics. The reaction of silver(I) and copper(I) ions with PPh(2)(C(9)H(8)N) affords a rare tetranuclear Z-shaped cluster Ag(2)Cu(2)(PPh(2)C(9)H(7)N)(4) (6), which exhibits red luminescence in solid state (650 nm) and a weak dual emission in solution with the main component in the near-IR region (746 nm).
