Lattice effects on the spin-crossover profile of a mononuclear manganese(III) cation

Six solvated salts of a mononuclear manganese(III) complex with a chelating hexadentate Schiff base ligand are reported. One member of the series, [MnL]PF(6)?0.5?CH(3)OH (1), shows a rare low-spin (LS) electronic configuration between 10-300?K. The remaining five salts, [MnL]NO(3)?C(2)H(5)OH(2), [MnL]BF(4)?C(2)H(5)OH(3), [MnL]CF(3)SO(3)?C(2)H(5)OH (4), [MnL]ClO(4)?C(2)H(5)OH (5) and [MnL]ClO(4)?0.5?CH(3)CN (6), all show gradual incomplete spin-crossover (SCO) behaviour. The structures of all were determined at 100?K, and also at 293?K in the case of 3-6. The LS salt [MnL]PF(6)?0.5?CH(3)OH is the only member of the series that does not exhibit strong hydrogen bonding. At 100?K two of the four SCO complexes (2 and 4) assemble into 1D hydrogen-bonded chains, which weaken or rupture on warming. The remaining SCO complexes 3, 5 and 6 do not form 1D hydrogen-bonded chains, but instead exhibit discrete hydrogen bonding between cation/counterion, cation/solvent or counterion/solvent and show no significant change on warming.     

Redox non-innocence of thioether crowns: spectroelectrochemistry and electronic structure of formal nickel(III) complexes of aza-thioether macrocycles

The Ni^II complexes [Ni([9]aneNS₂‐CH₃)₂]²⁺ ([9]aneNS₂‐CH₃=N‐methyl‐1‐aza‐4,7‐dithiacyclononane), [Ni(bis[9]aneNS₂‐C₂H₄)]²⁺ (bis[9]aneNS₂‐C₂H₄=1,2‐bis‐(1‐aza‐4,7‐dithiacyclononylethane) and [Ni([9]aneS₃)₂]²⁺ ([9]aneS₃=1,4,7‐trithiacyclononane) have been prepared and can be electrochemically and chemically oxidized to give the formal Ni^III products, which have been characterized by X‐ray crystallography, UV/Vis and multi‐frequency EPR spectroscopy. The single‐crystal X‐ray structure of [Ni^III([9]aneNS₂‐CH₃)₂](ClO₄)₆?(H₅O₂)₃ reveals an octahedral co‐ordination at the Ni centre, while the crystal structure of [Ni^III(bis[9]aneNS₂‐C₂H₄)](ClO₄)₆?(H₃O)₃? 3H₂O exhibits a more distorted co‐ordination. In the homoleptic analogue, [Ni^III([9]aneS₃)₂](ClO₄)₃, structurally characterized at 30 K, the Ni? S distances [2.249(6), 2.251(5) and 2.437(2) Å] are consistent with a Jahn–Teller distorted octahedral stereochemistry. [Ni([9]aneNS₂‐CH₃)₂](PF₆)₂ shows a one‐electron oxidation process in MeCN (0.2 M NBu₄PF₆, 293 K) at E_1/2=+1.10 V versus Fc⁺/Fc assigned to a formal Ni^III/Ni^II couple. [Ni(bis[9]aneNS₂‐C₂H₄)](PF₆)₂ exhibits a one‐electron oxidation process at E_1/2=+0.98 V and a reduction process at E_1/2=?1.25 V assigned to Ni^II/Ni^III and Ni^II/Ni^I couples, respectively. The multi‐frequency X‐, L‐, S‐, K‐band EPR spectra of the 3+ cations and their 86.2 % ⁶¹Ni‐enriched analogues were simulated. Treatment of the spin Hamiltonian parameters by perturbation theory reveals that the SOMO has 50.6 %, 42.8 % and 37.2 % Ni character in [Ni([9]aneNS₂‐CH₃)₂]³⁺, [Ni(bis[9]aneNS₂‐C₂H₄)]³⁺ and [Ni([9]aneS₃)₂]³⁺, respectively, consistent with DFT calculations, and reflecting delocalisation of charge onto the S‐thioether centres. EPR spectra for [⁶¹Ni([9]aneS₃)₂]³⁺ are consistent with a dynamic Jahn–Teller distortion in this compound.     

Guest‐, Light‐ and Thermally‐Modulated Spin Crossover in [FeII2] Supramolecular Helicates

A new bis(pyrazolylpyridine) ligand (H₂L) has been prepared to form functional [Fe₂(H₂L)₃]⁴⁺ metallohelicates. Changes to the synthesis yield six derivatives, X@[Fe₂(H₂L)₃]X(PF₆)₂?xCH₃OH ( 1 , x=5.7 and X=Cl; 2 , x=4 and X=Br), X@[Fe₂(H₂L)₃]X(PF₆)₂?yCH₃OH?H₂O ( 1 a , y=3 and X=Cl; 2 a , y=1 and X=Br) and X@[Fe₂(H₂L)₃](I₃)₂?3 Et₂O ( 1 b , X=Cl; 2 b , X=Br). Their structure and functional properties are described in detail by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction experiments at several temperatures. Helicates 1 a and 2 a are obtained from 1 and 2 , respectively, by a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal mechanism. The three possible magnetic states, [LS–LS], [LS–HS], and [HS–HS] can be accessed over large temperature ranges as a result of the structural nonequivalence of the Fe^II centers. The nature of the guest (Cl^? vs. Br^?) shifts the spin crossover (SCO) temperature by roughly 40 K. Also, metastable [LS–HS] or [HS–HS] states are generated through irradiation. All helicates (X@[Fe₂(H₂L)₃])³⁺ persist in solution.     

Solvent Dependent Spin‐Crossover and Photomagnetic Properties in an Imidazolylimine FeII Complex

The synthesis and physico‐chemical characterization of an Fe^II complex [Fe( L1 )₃](ClO₄)₂?CH₃CN?0.5H₂O, 1 , incorporating a bidentate imidazolylimine‐based ligand are reported. Complex 1 crystallises as the mer‐isomer and the crystal lattice is replete with hydrogen bonding interactions between ClO₄^? anions, solvent molecules and imidazole N‐H groups. Variable‐temperature structural, magnetic, photomagnetic and optical reflectivity techniques have been deployed to fully characterise the spin‐crossover (SCO) behaviour in 1 along with its desolvated phase, 1?desolv . Variable‐temperature (1.8–300 K) magnetic‐susceptibility measurements reveal a broad two‐step full SCO for 1 (T_1/2=158 and 184 K) and photomagnetic experiments at 10 K under white‐light irradiation revealed complete photo‐induced SCO. 1?desolv displays considerably different magnetic behaviour with sharp single‐step SCO accompanied by a thermal hysteresis (T_1/2↑=105 K, T_1/2↓=95 K) in addition to full photo‐induced SCO at lower temperatures.     

trans‐(Methanol)(methyl­di­phenyl­phosphine)­bis­(pentane‐2,4‐dionato)­cobalt(III) hexa­fluoro­phosphate hydrate

The title compound [Co(C₅H₇O₂)₂(C₁₃H₁₃P)(CH₄O)]PF₆·H₂O, (I), which was converted from trans‐[Co(acac)₂(PMePh₂)(H₂O)]PF₆ (acac is pentane‐2,4‐dionato) by recrystallization from aqueous methanol, has been confirmed as have a coordinated methanol ligand. The molecular structure of the complex cation, trans‐[Co(acac)₂(PMePh₂)(MeOH)]⁺, is similar to that of the above aqua complex found in the ClO₄ salt [Kashiwabara et al. (1995). Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn, 68 , 883–888]. The Co—O bond length for the coordinated methanol is 2.059 (3) Å. There is an intermolecular hydrogen bond between the OH group of the coordinated methanol and one of the O atoms of the acac ligands in an adjacent complex cation [O5?O3′ = 2.914 (4) Å], giving a centrosymmetric dimeric dicationic complex.     

Formation,Dynamic Behavior,and Chemical Transformation of Pt Complexes with a Rotaxane‐like Structure

The reaction of [Pt(CH₂COMe)(Ph)(cod)] (cod=1,5‐cyclooctadiene) with (ArCH₂NH₂CH₂‐C₆H₄COOH)⁺(PF₆)^? (Ar=4‐tBuC₆H₄ or 9‐anthryl) in the presence of cyclic oligoethers such as dibenzo[24]crown‐8 (DB24C8) and dicyclohexano[24]crown‐8 (DC24C8) produces {(ce)[ArCH₂NH₂CH₂C₆H₄COOPt(Ph)(cod)]}⁺(PF₆)^? (ce=DB24C8 or DC24C8, Ar=4‐tBuC₆H₄ or 9‐anthryl) with interlocked structures. FABMS and NMR spectra of a solution of these compounds indicate that the Pt complexes with a secondary ammonium group and DB24C8 (or DC24C8) make up the axis and cyclic components, respectively. Temperature‐dependent ¹H NMR spectra of a solution of {(DB24C8)[4‐tBuC₆H₄CH₂NH₂CH₂‐C₆H₄COOPt(Ph)(cod)]}⁺(PF₆)^? ({(DB24C8)[ 4 ‐H]}⁺(PF₆)^?) show equilibration with free DB24C8 and the axis component. The addition of DB24C8 to a solution of {(DC24C8)[ 4 ‐H]}⁺(PF₆)^? causes partial exchange of the macrocyclic component of the interlocked molecules, giving a mixture of {(DC24C8)[ 4 ‐H]}⁺(PF₆)^?, {(DB24C8)[ 4 ‐H]}⁺(PF₆)^?, and free macrocyclic compounds. The reaction of 3,5‐Me₂C₆H₃COCl with {(DB24C8)[ 4 ‐H]}⁺(PF₆)^? affords the organic rotaxane {(DB24C8)(4‐tBuC₆H₄CH₂NH₂CH₂‐C₆H₄COOCOC₆H₃Me₂‐3,5)}⁺(PF₆)^? through C? O bond formation between the aroyl group and the carboxylate ligand of the axis component. The addition of 2,2′‐bipyridine (bpy) to a solution of {(DB24C8)[ 4 ‐H]}⁺(PF₆)^? induces the degradation of the interlocked structure to form a complex with trigonal bipyramidal coordination, [Pt(Ph)(bpy)(cod)]⁺(PF₆)^?, whereas the reaction of bpy with [Pt(OCOC₆H₄Me‐4)(Ph)(cod)] produces the square‐planar complex [Pt(OCOC₆H₄Me‐4)(Ph)(bpy)].     

Collision-induced dissociation of negative ions in the gas phase: [Aryl S]−, [aryl SO]− and [aryl SO2]−

Collision-induced dissociation of the ions [ArS]^?, [ArSO]^? and [ArSO₂]^? has uncovered a rich and varied ion chemistry. The major fragmentations of [ArS]^? are complex and occur without prior ring hydrogen scrambling: for example, [C₆H₅S]^?→[C₂HS]^? and [HS]^?; [p-CD₃C₆H₄S]^?→[C₆H₄S]^?˙, [CD₃C₄S]^? and [C₂HS]^?. In contrast, all decompositions of [C₆H₅CH₂S]^? are preceded by specific benzylic and phenyl hydrogen interchange reactions. [ArSO₂]^? and [ArSO₂]^? ions undergo rearrangement, e.g. [C₆H₅SO]^?→[C₆H₅O]^? and [C₆H₅S]^?; [C₆H₅SO₂]^?→[C₆H₅O] ^?. The ion [C₆H₅CH₂SO]^? eliminates water, this decomposition is preceded by benzylic and phenyl hydrogen exchange.     

Influence of the intermolecular interaction on photo-induced spin-transition of [Fe(R-pap)<Subscript>2</Subscript>]X

Summary Iron(III) spin-crossover complexes [Fe(pap)₂]ClO₄^. H₂O (1), [Fe(pap)₂]BF₄^. H₂O (2), [Fe(pap)₂]PF₆^. CH₃OH (3), [Fe(CH₃-pap)₂]ClO₄^. H₂O (4), [Fe_0.5Al_0.5(pap)₂]ClO₄^. CH₃OH (5) and [Fe_0.25Al_0.75(pap)₂] ClO₄^. CH₃OH (6)were prepared andthe spin transition behaviors of the complexes have been studied from magnetic susceptibility and M?ssbauer spectroscopy measurements. The magnetic properties of light-induced metastable state are measured using Hg-Xe light source. T_1/2is temperature at which the populations of the high-spin and low-spin species are fifty-fifty. Metastable HS is produced by light irradiation at 5 K. T(LIESST) is the temperature at which the populations of the metastable high-spin species decrease to one half and cooperativity factor Cis defined as the parameter which presents the strength of cooperativity. The value of T(LIESST) decreases as T_1/2increases and the plots of T(LIESST) vs. Cshow linear correlation. The effect of cooperativity of the complexes on the relaxations in solid was confirmed for the iron(III) complexes.     

Structure and formation of gaseous [C4H6O]+˙ ions: 1—The enolic ions [CH2C(OH)?CHCH2]+˙ and [CH2CH?CHCH(OH)]+˙ and their relationship with their keto counterparts

The [C₄H₆O]^+˙ ion of structure [CH₂?CHCH?CHOH]^+˙ (a) is generated by loss of C₄H₈ from ionized 6,6-dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol. The heat of formation ΔH_f of [CH₂?CHCH?CHOH]^+˙ was estimated to be 736 kJ mol^?1. The isomeric ion [CH₂?C(OH)CH?CH₂]^+˙ (b) was shown to have ΔH_f, ? 761 kJ mol^?1, 54 kJ mol^?1 less than that of its keto analogue [CH₃COCH?CH₂]^+˙. Ion [CH₂?C(OH)CH?CH₂]^+˙ may be generated by loss of C₂H₄ from ionized hex-1-en-3-one or by loss of C₄H₈ from ionized 4,4-dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol. The [C₄H₆O]^+˙ ion generated by loss of C₂H₄ from ionized 2-cyclohexen-1-ol was shown to consist of a mixture of the above enol ions by comparing the metastable ion and collisional activation mass spectra of [CH₂?CHCH?CHOH]^+˙ and [CH₂?C(OH)CH?CH₂]^+˙ ions with that of the above daughter ion. It is further concluded that prior to their major fragmentations by loss of CH₃˙ and CO, [CH₂?CHCH?CHOH]⁺˙ and [CH₂?C(OH)CH?CH₂]^+˙ do not rearrange to their keto counterparts. The metastable ion and collisional activation characteristics of the isomeric allenic [C₄H₆O]^+˙ ion [CH₂?C?CHCH₂OH]^+˙ are also reported.     

Bond length of perchlorate at different temperatures: X‐ray and neutron comparison

The averages (average deviations from the mean are given in square brackets) of uncorrected Cl—O bond distances in a perchlorate anion from an X‐ray diffraction analysis of (N‐{2‐[bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)amino]ethyl}pyridine‐2‐carboxamidato)(nitric oxide)manganese perchlorate acetonitrile disolvate, [Mn(C₂₀H₂₀N₅O)(NO)]ClO₄·2CH₃CN or [Mn(PaPy₃)(NO)]ClO₄·2CH₃CN, decrease from 1.447 [4] Å at 10 K to 1.428 [4] Å at 170 K. The 10 K value is close to the neutron value (1.441 [1] Å) at 18 K. Comparisons are made with a second X‐ray study at 30 K [1.444 (8) Å] and to libration‐corrected, density functional theory (DFT), and Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) values.     

Isomorphous rare‐earth tris[bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) phosphate] complexes and their catalytic properties in 1,3‐diene polymerization and in the inhibited oxidation of polydimethylsiloxane

Crystals of mononuclear tris[bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) phosphato‐κO]pentakis(methanol‐κO)lanthanide methanol monosolvates of lanthanum, [La(C₂₄H₃₄O₄P)₃(CH₃OH)₅]·CH₃OH, ( 1 ), cerium, [Ce(C₂₄H₃₄O₄P)₃(CH₃OH)₅]·CH₃OH, ( 2 ), and neodymium, [Nd(C₂₄H₃₄O₄P)₃(CH₃OH)₅]·CH₃OH, ( 3 ), have been obtained by reactions between LnCl₃(H₂O)_n (n = 6 or 7) and lithium bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) phosphate in a 1:3 molar ratio in methanol media. Compounds ( 1 )–( 3 ) crystallize in the monoclinic P2₁/c space group and have isomorphous crystal structures. All three bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) phosphate ligands display a κO‐monodentate coordination mode. The coordination number of the metal atom is 8. Each [Ln{O₂P(O‐2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃)₂}₃(CH₃OH)₅] molecular unit exhibits four intramolecular O—H…O hydrogen bonds, forming six‐membered rings. The unit forms two intermolecular O—H…O hydrogen bonds with one noncoordinating methanol molecule. All six hydroxy H atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding within the [Ln{O₂P(O‐2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃)₂}₃(CH₃OH)₅]·CH₃OH unit. This, along with the high steric hindrance induced by the three bulky diaryl phosphate ligands, prevents the formation of a hydrogen‐bond network. Complexes ( 1 )–( 3 ) exhibit disorder of two of the isopropyl groups of the phosphate ligands. The cerium compound ( 2 ) demonstrates an essential catalytic inhibition in the thermal decomposition of polydimethylsiloxane in air at 573 K. Catalytic systems based on the neodymium complex tris[bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) phosphato‐κO]neodymium, ( 3′ ), which was obtained as a dry powder of ( 3 ) upon removal of methanol, display a high catalytic activity in isoprene and butadiene polymerization.     

Reactivity Studies of η5‐ Indenyl and η5‐Cp* Ruthenium(II) Complexes towards some Polypyridyl Ligands

The reaction of [(η⁵‐L³)Ru(PPh₃)₂Cl], where; L³ = C₉H₇ ( 1 ), C₅Me₅ (Cp*) ( 2 ) with acetonitrile in the presence of [NH₄][PF₆] yielded cationic complexes [(η⁵‐L³)Ru(PPh₃)₂(CH₃CN)][PF₆]; L³= C₉H₇ ([3]PF₆) and L³ = C₅Me₅ ([4]PF₆), respectively. Complexes [3]PF₆ and [4]PF₆ reacts with some polypyridyl ligands viz, 2,3‐bis (α‐pyridyl) pyrazine (bpp), 2,3‐bis (α‐pyridyl) quinoxaline (bpq) yielding the complexes of the formulation [(η⁵‐L³)Ru(PPh₃)(L²)]PF₆ where; L³ = C₉H₇, L² = bpp, ([5]PF₆), L³ = C₉H₇, L² = bpq, ([6]PF₆); L³ = C₅Me₅, L² = bpp, ([7]PF₆) and bpq, ([8]PF₆), respectively. However reaction of [(η⁵‐C₉H₇)Ru(PPh₃)₂(CH₃CN)][PF₆] ([3]PF₆) with the sterically demanding polypyridyl ligands, viz. 2,4,6‐tris(2‐pyridyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine (tptz) or tetra‐2‐pyridyl‐1,4‐pyrazine (tppz) leads to the formation of unexpected complexes [Ru(PPh₃)₂(L²)(CH₃CN)][PF₆]₂; L² = tppz ([9](PF₆)₂), tptz ([11](PF₆)₂) and [Ru(PPh₃)₂(L²)Cl][PF₆]; L² = tppz ([10]PF₆), tptz ([12]PF₆). The complexes were isolated as their hexafluorophosphate salts. They have been characterized on the basis of micro analytical and spectroscopic data. The crystal structures of the representative complexes were established by X‐ray crystallography.     

Kinetics and mechanism associated with the reactions of hydroxyl radicals and of chlorine atoms with 1‐propanol under near‐tropospheric conditions between 273 and 343 K

Rate constants for the reactions of OH radicals and Cl atoms with 1‐propanol (1‐C₃H₇OH) have been determined over the temperature range 273–343 K by the use of a relative rate technique. The value of k(Cl + 1‐C₃H₇OH) = (1.69 ± 0.19) × 10^?12 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 at 298 K and shows a small increase of 10% between 273 and 342 K. The value of k(OH + 1‐C₃H₇OH) increases by 14% between 273 and 343 K with a value of (5.50 ± 0.55) × 10^?12 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 at 298 K, and further when combined with a single independent experimentally determined value at 753 K gives k(OH + 1‐C₃H₇OH) = 4.69 × 10^?17T^1.8 exp(422/T) cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, which fits each data point to better than 2%. Two well‐established structure–activity relationships for H abstraction by OH radicals give accurate predictions of the rate constant for OH + 1‐C₃H₇OH, provided the β‐CH₂ group is given an increased reactivity of a factor of about 2 over that for the structurally equivalent CH₂ group in alkanes at 298 K. A quantitative product analysis was carried out at 298 K for the Cl‐initiated photooxidation of 1‐C₃H₇OH, using both FTIR and gas chromatography. HCHO, CH₃CHO, and C₂H₅CHO were the only major organic primary products observed, although HCOOH was found in much smaller amounts as a secondary product. A key characteristic of the analysis was that the initial values of the product ratio [CH₃CHO]/[C₂H₅CHO] were effectively constant for NO pressures between 0.15 and 0.3 Torr, but fell by about 35% as the pressure fell to 0.0375 Torr. From a detailed consideration of the mechanism for the oxidation, it is suggested that C₂H₅CHO, CH₃CHO (+HCHO), and 3 molecules of HCHO are formed uniquely from CH₃CH₂CHOH, CH₃CHCH₂OH, and CH₂CH₂CH₂OH radicals, respectively. On this basis, use of the product yields gives the branching ratios of 56, 30, and 14% for Cl atom reaction at the α‐, β‐, and γ‐C? H positions in 1‐C₃H₇OH at 298 K. Given the very low temperature coefficients involved, little change will occur over tropospheric temperature ranges. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 34: 110–121, 2002     

Five solvates of a multicomponent pharmaceutical salt formed by berberine and diclofenac

A multicomponent pharmaceutical salt formed by the isoquinoline alkaloid berberine (5,6‐dihydro‐9,10‐dimethoxybenzo[g]‐1,3‐benzodioxolo[5,6‐a]quinolizinium, BBR) and the nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug diclofenac {2‐[2‐(2,6‐dichloroanilino)phenyl]acetic acid, DIC} was discovered. Five solvates of the pharmaceutical salt form were obtained by solid‐form screening. These five multicomponent solvates are the dihydrate (BBR–DIC·2H₂O or C₂₀H₁₈NO₄⁺·C₁₄H₁₀Cl₂NO₂^?·2H₂O), the dichloromethane hemisolvate dihydrate (BBR–DIC·0.5CH₂Cl₂·2H₂O or C₂₀H₁₈NO₄⁺·C₁₄H₁₀Cl₂NO₂^?·0.5CH₂Cl₂·2H₂O), the ethanol monosolvate (BBR–DIC·C₂H₅OH or C₂₀H₁₈NO₄⁺·C₁₄H₁₀Cl₂NO₂^?·C₂H₅OH), the methanol monosolvate (BBR–DIC·CH₃OH or C₂₀H₁₈NO₄⁺·C₁₄H₁₀Cl₂NO₂^?·CH₃OH) and the methanol disolvate (BBR–DIC·2CH₃OH or C₂₀H₁₈NO₄⁺·C₁₄H₁₀Cl₂NO₂^?·2CH₃OH), and their crystal structures were determined. All five solvates of BBR–DIC (1:1 molar ratio) were crystallized from different organic solvents. Solvent molecules in a pharmaceutical salt are essential components for the formation of crystalline structures and stabilization of the crystal lattices. These solvates have strong intermolecular O…H hydrogen bonds between the DIC anions and solvent molecules. The intermolecular hydrogen‐bond interactions were visualized by two‐dimensional fingerprint plots. All the multicomponent solvates contained intramolecular N—H…O hydrogen bonds. Various π–π interactions dominate the packing structures of the solvates.     

Hydrogen‐bonded structures and interaction energies in two forms of the SGLT‐2 inhibitor sotagliflozin

The sotagliflozin molecule exhibits two fundamentally different molecular conformations in form 1 {systematic name: (2S ,3R ,4R ,5S ,6R )‐2‐[4‐chloro‐3‐(4‐ethoxybenzyl)phenyl]‐6‐(methylsulfanyl)tetrahydro‐2H‐pyran‐3,4,5‐triol, C₂₁H₂₅ClO₅S, (I)} and the monohydrate [C₂₁H₂₅ClO₅S·H₂O, (II)]. Both crystals display hydrogen‐bonded layers formed by intermolecular interactions which involve the three –OH groups of the xyloside fragment of the molecule. The layer architectures of (I) and (II) contain a non‐hydrogen‐bonded molecule–molecule interaction along the short crystallographic axis (a axis) whose total PIXEL energy exceeds that of each hydrogen‐bonded molecule–molecule pair. The hydrogen‐bonded layer of (I) has the topology of the 4‐connected sql net and that formed by the water and sotagliflozin molecules of (II) has the topology of a 3,7‐connected net.     

Synthesis,Structures, and Photophysics of Polynuclear Silver(I) Thiolate and Silver(I) Thiocarboxylate Complexes with Dppm Ligands

Trinuclear silver(I) thiolate and silver(I) thiocarboxylate complexes [Ag₃(μ‐dppm)₃(μ_n‐SR)₂](ClO₄) [n = 2, R = C₆H₄Cl‐4 ( 1 ) and C{O}Ph ( 2 ); n = 3, R = tBu ( 3 )], pentanuclear silver(I) thiolate complex [Ag₅(μ‐dppm)₄(μ₃‐SC₆H₄NO₂‐4)₄](PF₆) ( 4 ), and hexanuclear silver(I) thiolate complexes [Ag₆(μ‐dppm)₄(μ₃‐SR)₄]Y₂ [Y = ClO₄, R =C₆H₄CH₃‐4 ( 5 ) and C₁₀H₇ (2‐naphthyl) ( 7 ); Y = PF₆, R = C₆H₄OCH₃‐4( 6 )], were synthesized [dppm = bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane] and their crystal structures as well as photophysical properties were studied. In the solid state at 77 K, trinuclear silver(I) thiolate and silver(I) thiocarboxylate complexes 1 and 2 exhibit luminescence at 470–523 nm, tentatively attributed to originate from the ³IL (intraligand) of thiolate or thiocarboxylate ligands, whereas hexanuclaer silver(I) thiolate complexes 5 and 7 produce dual emission, in which high‐energy emission is tentatively attributed to come from the ³IL of thiolate ligands and low‐energy emission is tentatively assigned to come from the admixture of metal ··· metal bond‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MMLCT) and metal‐centered (MC) excited states.

Reaction Behaviour of Copper(I) and Copper(II) Salts Towards P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ‐ the Solid‐State Structures of {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}ClO₄, {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄, [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuONO₂ and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ The reaction behaviour of P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 1 ) towards different copper(II) and copper(I) salts of the type CuX₂ ( 2a : X = BF₄, 2b : X = PF₆, 2c : X = ClO₄, 2d : X = NO₃, 2e : X = Cl, 2f : X = Br, 13 : X = O₂CMe) and CuX ( 5a : X = ClO₄, 5b : X = NO₃, 5c : X = Cl, 5d : X = Br) is discussed. Depending on X, the transition metal complexes [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃Cu]X₂ ( 3a : X = BF₄, 3b : X = PF₆), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX}X ( 4 : X = ClO₄, 11a : X = Cl, 11b : X = Br, 14 : X = O₂CMe), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄ ( 6 ), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX ( 7a : X = Cl, 7b : X = Br, 10 : X = ONO₂), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ ( 9 ) and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuCl}CuCl₂ ( 12 ) are accessible. While in 3a , 3b and 6 the phosphane 1 preferentially acts as tetrapodale ligand, in all other species only the phosphorus atom and two of the three C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂ side‐arms are datively‐bound to the appropriate copper ion. In solution a dynamic behaviour of the latter species is observed. Due to the coordination ability of X in 3a , 3b and 6 non‐coordinating anions X^‐ are present. However, in 4 one of the two perchlorate ions forms a dative oxygen‐copper bond and the second perchlorate ion acts as counter ion to {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}⁺. In 7 , 9 and 10 the fragments X (X = Cl, Br, ONO₂) form a σ‐bond with the copper(I) ion. The acetate moiety in 14 acts as chelating ligand as it could be shown by IR‐spectroscopic studies. All newly synthesised cationic and neutral copper(I) and copper(II) complexes are representing stable species. Redox processes are involved in the formation of 9 and 12 by reacting 1 with 2 . The solid‐state structures of 4 , 6 , 9 and 10 are reported. In the latter complexes the copper(II) ( 4 ) or copper(I) ion ( 6 , 9 , 10 ) possesses the coordination number 4. This is achieved by the formation of a phosphorus‐ and two nitrogen‐copper‐ ( 4 , 9 , 10 ) or three ( 6 ) nitrogen‐copper dative bonds and a coordinating ( 4 ) or σ‐binding ( 9 , 10 ) ligand X. In 6 all three nitrogen and the phosphorus atoms are coordinatively bound to copper, while X acts as non‐coordinating counter‐ion. Based on this, the respective copper ion occupies a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. While in 4 and 10 a free, neutral Me₂NCH₂ side‐arm is present, which rapidly exchanges in solution with the coordinatively‐bound Me₂NCH₂ fragments, this unit is protonated in 10 . NO₃^‐ acts as counter ion to the CH₂NMe₂H⁺ moiety. In all structural characterized complexes 6‐membered boat‐like CuPNC₃ cycles are present.     

Two monosodium salt hydrates of Colour Index Pigment Red 48

We report herein the crystal structures of a monohydrate of Colour Index Pigment Red 48 (P.R.48) (systematic name: monosodium 2‐{2‐[3‐carboxy‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydronaphthalen‐1‐ylidene]hydrazin‐1‐yl}‐4‐chloro‐5‐methylbenzenesulfonate monohydrate), Na⁺·C₁₈H₁₂ClO₆S^?·H₂O, and a dihydrate, Na⁺·C₁₈H₁₂ClO₆S^?·2H₂O. The two monosodium salt hydrates of P.R.48 were obtained from in‐house synthesized P.R.48. Both have monoclinic (P2₁/c) symmetry at 173 K. The crystal packing of both crystal structures shows a layer arrangement whereby N—H…O and O—H…O hydrogen bonds are formed.     

Luminescent Amphiphilic 2,6‐Bis(1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)pyridine?Platinum(II) Complexes: Synthesis,Characterization, Electrochemical,Photophysical, and Langmuir–Blodgett Film‐Formation Studies

A new series of platinum(II) complexes with tridentate ligands 2,6‐bis(1‐alkyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)pyridine and 2,6‐bis(1‐aryl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)pyridine (N7R), [Pt(N7R)Cl]X ( 1 – 7 ) and [Pt(N7R)(C?CR′)]X ( 8 – 17 ; R=n‐C₄H₉, n‐C₈H₁₇, n‐C₁₂H₂₅, n‐C₁₄H₂₉, n‐C₁₈H₃₇, C₆H₅, and CH₂‐C₆H₅; R′=C₆H₅, C₆H₄‐CH₃‐p_, C₆H₄‐CF₃‐p, C₆H₄‐N(CH₃)₂‐p, and cholesteryl 2‐propyn‐1‐yl carbonate; X=OTf^?, PF₆^?, and Cl^?), has been synthesized and characterized. Their electrochemical and photophysical properties have also been studied. Two amphiphilic platinum(II)? 2,6‐bis(1‐dodecyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)pyridine complexes ( 3‐Cl and 8 ) were found to form stable and reproducible Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films at the air/water interface. These LB films were characterized by the study of their surface‐pressure–molecular‐area (π–A) isotherms, XRD, and IR and polarized‐IR spectroscopy.     

Controlling the Structure of Manganese(II) Phosphates by the Choice and Ratio of Organophosphate and Auxiliary Ligands

Tetranuclear manganese(II) phosphates [Mn(dipp)(bpy)]₄?4 H₂O ( 1 ) and [Mn₄(dmpp)₂(dmppH)₄(bpy)₄(H₂O)₂]?H₂O ( 2 ) have been prepared from Mn(OAc)₂?4 H₂O and 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl phosphate (dippH₂) or 2,6‐dimethylphenyl phosphate (dmppH₂) in the presence of 2,2′‐bipyridine (bpy). In contrast, the reaction between [Mn(bpy)₂(OAc)(ClO₄)]?H₂O and dippH₂ affords [Mn(bpy)₂(dippH)]₂?2 ClO₄?2 CH₃OH ( 3 ). The reactions of Mn(OAc)₂?4 H₂O, dippH₂, and pyridine (py) or 3,5‐dimethylpyrazole (dmpz) in CH₃CN under reflux afford hexanuclear complexes [Mn₆(dipp)₆(py)₈]?2CH₃CN ( 4 ) and [Mn₆(dipp)₆(dmpz)₆(AcOH)₂]?2 H₂O ( 5 ), respectively. Although compounds 1 and 2 are tetrameric, the former is a closed cubane‐like structure resembling the D4R secondary building unit of zeolites, whereas the latter exists in a staircase structure with fused Mn₂O₄P₂ rings. The core structure of 3 contains a Mn₂O₄P₂ eight‐membered ring that resembles the S4R building block of zeolites. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies reveal that compounds 4 and 5 have a similar core structure and differ from each other by the neutral ligands coordinated to manganese ions. All six phosphate ligands exist in a doubly deprotonated [(RO)PO₃^2?] form and exhibit two types of binding modes [5.222] and [3.111]. An interesting feature of compounds 1 – 5 is that although they are oligonuclear complexes, there is an absence of oxido bridges. The magnetic properties of compounds 1 – 5 have been investigated in the temperature range 5–298 K, and it was found that all the compounds obey the Curie law.
