Syntheses and characterization of mu,eta(1),eta(1)-3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazolato derivatives of aluminum

The 3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazolato (3,5-tBu(2)pz) derivatives of aluminum [(eta(1),eta(1)-3,5-tBu(2)pz)(mu-Al)R(1)R(2)](2) (R(1) = R(2) = Me 1; R(1) = R(2) = Et, 2; R(1) = R(2) = Cl, 3; R(1) = R(2) = I, 4; [(eta(2)-3,5-tBu(2)pz)(3)Al], 5; [Al(2)(eta(1),eta(1)-3,5-tBu(2)pz)(2)(mu-E)(C triple bond CPh)(2)] (E = S (6), Se (7), Te (8)) have been prepared in good yield. Compounds 1 and 2 were obtained by the reactions of H[3,5-tBu(2)pz] with Me(3)Al and Et(3)Al, respectively. Reaction of [(eta(1),eta(1)-3,5-tBu(2)pz)(mu-Al)H(2)](2) with the pyrazole H[3,5-tBu(2)pz] gave [(eta(2)-3,5-tBu(2)pz)(3)Al] (5). The reaction of [(eta(1),eta(1)-3,5-tBu(2)pz)(mu-Al)R(2)](2) (R = H, Me) and I(2) yielded 4, while the reaction of 1 equiv of K[3,5-tBu(2)pz] and AlCl(3) afforded 3. In addition, the reaction of [Al(2)(eta(1),eta(1)-3,5-tBu(2)pz)(2)(mu-E)H(2)] and HC triple bond CPh gave 6, 7, and 8. All compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The molecular structure analyses of compounds 1, 3, 6, and 7 by X-ray crystallography showed that complexes 1 and 3 are dimeric with two eta(1),eta(1)-pyrazolato groups in twisted conformation while 6 and 7 with two eta(1),eta(1)-pyrazolato groups display a boat conformation.     

Syntheses of Cationic, Six-Coordinate Cadmium(II) Complexes Containing Tris(pyrazolyl)methane Ligands. Influence of Charge on Cadmium-113 NMR Chemical Shifts

Treating a thf (thf = tetrahydrofuran) suspension of Cd(acac)(2) (acac = acetylacetonate) with 2 equiv of HBF(4).Et(2)O results in the immediate formation of [Cd(2)(thf)(5)](BF(4))(4) (1). Crystallization of this complex from thf/CH(2)Cl(2) yields [Cd(thf)(4)](BF(4))(2) (2), a complex characterized in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data: monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 7.784(2) ?, b = 10.408(2) ?, c = 14.632(7) ?, beta = 94.64(3) degrees, V = 1181.5(6) ?(3), Z = 2, R = 0.0484. The geometry about the cadmium is octahedral with a square planar arrangement of the thf ligands and a fluorine from each (BF(4))(-) occupying the remaining two octahedral sites. Reactions of [Cd(2)(thf)(5)](BF(4))(4) with either HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) or HC(3-Phpz)(3) yield the dicationic, homoleptic compounds {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)Cd}(BF(4))(2) (3) and {[HC(3-Phpz)(3)](2)Cd}(BF(4))(2) (4) (pz = 1-pyrazolyl). The solid state structure of 3 has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data: rhombohedral, R&thremacr;, a = 12.236(8) ?, c = 22.69(3) ?, V = 2924(4) ?(3), Z = 3, R = 0.0548. The cadmium is bonded to the six nitrogen donor atoms in a trigonally distorted octahedral arrangement. Four monocationic, mixed ligand tris(pyrazolyl)methane-tris(pyrazolyl)borate complexes {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)][HB(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)]Cd}(BF(4)) (5), {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)][HB(3-Phpz)(3)]Cd}(BF(4)) (6), {[HC(3-Phpz)(3)][HB(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)]Cd}(BF(4)) (7), and {[HC(3-Phpz)(3)][HB(3-Phpz)(3)]Cd}(BF(4)) (8) are prepared by appropriate conproportionation reactions of 3or 4 with equimolar amounts of the appropriate homoleptic neutral tris(pyrazolyl)borate complexes [HB(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)Cd or [HB(3-Phpz)(3)](2)Cd. Solution (113)Cd NMR studies on complexes 3-8 demonstrate that the chemical shifts of the new cationic, tris(pyrazolyl)methane complexes are very similar to the neutral tris(pyrazolyl)borate complexes that contain similar substitution of the pyrazolyl rings.     

Influence of steric hindrance of organic ligand on the structure of Keggin-based coordination polymer

Five Keggin-based 3D coordination polymers, namely, [Cu3(pz)3(PW12O40)] (pz = pyrazine) (1), [Cu3(2,3-Me2pz)3(PW12O40)] (2,3-Me2pz = 2,3-dimethylpyrazine) (2), [Cu2(2,5-Me2pz)(1.5)(2,5-HMe2pz)(PW12O40)] (2,5-Me2pz = 2,5-dimethylpyrazine) (3), [Cu3(2,3-Me2pz)3(PMo12O40)] (4), and [Ag3(pz)3(PW12O40)].0.5H2O (5), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Crystal data are as follows: trigonal, space group R3c, a = 18.4070(14) angstroms, c = 22.544(3) angstroms, gamma = 120 degrees, and Z = 6 for 1; orthorhombic, space group Pccn, a = 16.599(2) angstroms, b = 20.470(3) angstroms, c = 14.3757(18) angstroms, and Z = 4 for 2; triclinic, space group P1, a = 10.667(2) angstroms, b = 11.147(2) angstroms, c = 20.207(4) angstroms, alpha = 90.983(4) degrees, beta = 108.128(3) degrees, gamma = 92.150(4) degrees, and Z = 2 for 3; orthorhombic, space group Pccn, a = 16.450(3) angstroms, b = 20.170(4) angstroms, c = 14.244(3) angstroms, and Z = 4 for 4; and rhombohedral, space group R32, a = 18.2047(13) angstroms, c = 23.637(3) angstroms, gamma = 120 degrees, and Z = 6 for 5. Their structural differences were investigated using crystal structure analysis, revealing that the influence of steric hindrance of organic ligand on the structures of Keggin-based coordination polymers is realized through changing the number of metal-organic units surrounding the POM anion.     

Synthesis and catalytic properties of molybdenum(VI) complexes with tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane

The complex [MoO(2)Cl{HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)}]BF(4) (1) (HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) = tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane) has been prepared and examined as a catalyst for epoxidation of olefins at 55 °C using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant. For reaction of cis-cyclooctene, epoxycyclooctane is obtained quantitatively within 5 h when water is rigorously excluded from the reaction mixture. Increasing amounts of water in the reaction mixture lead to lower activities (without affecting product selectivity) and transformation of 1 into the trioxidomolybdenum(VI) complex [{HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)}MoO(3)] (4). Complex 4 was isolated as a microcrystalline solid by refluxing a suspension of 1 in water. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of 4 can be indexed in the orthorhombic Pnma system, with a = 16.7349(5) ?, b = 13.6380(4) ?, and c = 7.8513(3) ?. Treatment of 1 in dichloromethane with excess TBHP led to isolation of the symmetrical [Mo(2)O(4)(μ(2)-O){HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)}(2)](BF(4))(2) (2) and unsymmetrical [Mo(2)O(3)(O(2))(2)(μ(2)-O)(H(2)O){HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)}] (3) oxido-bridged dimers, which were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 2 displays the well-known (Mo(2)O(5))(2+) bridging structure where each dioxidomolybdenum(VI) center is coordinated to three N atoms of the organic ligand and one μ(2)-bridging O atom. The unusual complex 3 comprises dioxido and oxidodiperoxo molybdenum(VI) centers linked by a μ(2)-bridging O atom, with the former center being coordinated to the tridentate N-ligand. The dinuclear complexes exhibit a similar catalytic performance to that found for mononuclear 1. For complexes 1 and 2 use of the ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and N-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate as solvents allowed the complexes to be completely dissolved, and in each case the catalyst and IL could be recycled and reused without loss of activity.     

A Six-Coordinate Tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane-Thallium(I) Complex with a Stereochemically Inactive Lone Pair: Syntheses and Solid State Structures of {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)Tl}PF(6) and {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)]Tl}PF(6) (pz = Pyrazolyl)

The addition of the tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligand HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) (pz = pyrazolyl ring) to a THF solution of TlPF(6) results in the immediate precipitation of {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)Tl}PF(6). The structure has been determined crystallographically. The arrangement of the nitrogen donor atoms about the thallium is best described as a trigonally distorted octahedron. The thallium atom sits on a crystallographic center of inversion; thus the planes formed by the three nitrogen donor atoms of each ligand are parallel. The Tl-N bond distances range from 2.891(5) to 2.929(5) ? (average = 2.92) ?. The lone pair on thallium is clearly stereochemically inactive and does not appear to influence the structure. The pyrazolyl rings are planar, but are tilted with respect to the thallium atom so as to open up the N.N intraligand bite distances. The thallium(I) complex with a ligand to metal ratio of 1/1, {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)]Tl}PF(6), is prepared in acetone by the reaction of equimolar amounts of HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) and TlPF(6). The structure of the cation is a trigonal pyramid, with Tl-N bond distances that range from 2.64(1) to 2.70(1) ? (average = 2.67) ?. Pyrazolyl ring tilting is also observed in this complex, but the degree of tilting is smaller. Crystal data for {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)Tl}PF(6): monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 9.210(6) ?, b = 13.36(1) ?, c = 16.067(8) ?, beta = 92.48(5) degrees, V = 1975(2) ?(3), Z = 2, R = 0.029. For {[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)]Tl}PF(6): monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 10.685(2) ?, b = 16.200(5) ?, c = 13.028(3) ?, beta = 94.02(2) degrees, V = 2249.6(8) ?(3), Z = 4, R = 0.042.     

蝎型钒氧苯甲酸配合物的合成、结构及量化计算

设计合成了两种以聚吡唑硼酸盐、苯甲酸为配体的钒氧配合物VO[HB(pz)3](pzH)(C6H5COO)(1)和VO[HB(3,5-Me2pz)3](3,5-Me2pzH)(C6H5COO)(2)((HB(pz)3: 聚吡唑硼酸钠盐; pzH: 吡唑; HB(3,5-Me2pz)3: 聚甲基吡唑硼酸钠盐; 3,5-Me2pzH: 3,5-二甲基吡唑). 通过元素分析、红外光谱和X射线单晶衍射方法对配合物进行了表征. 并结合从头计算结果进一步分析了配合物的稳定性及分子中配键的共价特征. 分析结果表明, 配合物2的稳定性大于配合物1, 中心钒原子周围的价键类型都属于共价键范畴, 键序分析结果与晶体结构测定的键长结果是一致的.     

Synthesis and 1H NMR studies of paramagnetic nickel(II) complexes containing bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands with dendritic substituents

The substituted bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands RCH(3,5-Me2pz)2(R=SiMe3, CH2Ph, G1, G2, and G3; Gn=Fréchet-type dendritic wedges of generation n) have been prepared starting from H2C(3,5-Me2pz)2. Reaction of these didentate ligands with [NiBr2(DME)] is a straightforward procedure that allows the synthesis of the nickel(II) complexes [NiBr2{RCH(3,5-Me2pz)2}]. The molecular structure of compound (R=CH2Ph) has been determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The nickel centre coordinates two bromine and two nitrogen atoms in a tetrahedral environment, and the metallacycle Ni(NN)2C adopts a boat conformation with the benzyl group in an axial position. 1H NMR studies have been carried out to characterize these paramagnetic nickel compounds in solution. Valuable information about the disposition of the ligands and dendritic wedges in solution has been obtained thanks to the influence of the paramagnetic centre on the proton resonances.     

Unusual reaction between (nitrile)Pt complexes and pyrazoles: substitution proceeds via metal-mediated nitrile-pyrazole coupling followed by elimination of the nitrile

The reaction of platinum(IV) complex trans-[PtCl4(EtCN)2] with pyrazoles 3,5-RR'pzH (R/R' = H/H, Me/H, Me/Me) leads to the formation of the trans-[PtCl4{NH=C(Et)(3,5-RR'pz)}2] (1-3) species due to the metal-mediated nitrile-pyrazole coupling. Pyrazolylimino complexes 1-3 (i) completely convert to pyrazole complexes cis-[PtCl4(3,5-RR'pzH)2] by elimination of EtCN upon reflux in a CH2Cl2 solution or upon heating in the solid state; (ii) undergo exchange at the imino C atom with another pyrazole different from that contained in the pyrazolylimino ligand. The reaction of trans-[PtIICl2(EtCN)2] and 3,5-RR'pzH, conducted under conditions similar to those for trans-[PtIVCl4(EtCN)2], is much less selective, and the composition of the products strongly depends on the pyrazole employed: (a) with pzH, the reaction gives a mixture of three products, i.e., [PtCl2NH=C(Et)pz-kappa2N,N}] (4), [PtCl(pzH){NH=C(Et)pz-kappa2N,N}]Cl (5), and [Pt(pzH)2{NH=C(Et)pz-kappa2N,N}]Cl2 (6) (complexes 5 and 6 are rather unstable and gradually transform to trans-[PtCl2(pzH2] and [Pt(pzH)(4)]Cl(2) and free EtCN); (b) with 3,5-Me(2)pzH, the reaction leads to the formation of [PtCl2NH=C(Et)(3,5-Me2pz)-kappa2N,N}] (7) and [PtCl(3,5-Me2pzH)3]Cl (8); (c) in the case of asymmetric pyrazole 3(5)-MepzH, which can be added to EtCN and/or bind metal centers by any of the two nonequivalent nitrogen sites, a broad mixture of currently unidentified products is formed. The reduction of 1-3 with Ph3P=CHCO2Me in CHCl3 allows for the formation of corresponding platinum(II) compounds trans-[PtCl2{NH=C(Et)(3,5-RR'pz)}2] (9-11). Ligands NH=C(Et)(3,5-RR'pz) (12-14) were almost quantitatively liberated from 9-11 with 2 equiv of 1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ethane in CDCl3, giving free imines 12-14 in solution and the precipitate of trans-[Pt(dppe)2](Cl)2. Pyrazolylimines 12-14 undergo splitting in CDCl3 solution at 20-25 degrees C for ca. 20 h to furnish the parent propiononitrile and the pyrazole 3,5-RR'pzH, but they can be synthetically utilized immediately after the liberation.     

Base induced P-C bond cleavage in a coordinated bis(dimethylphosphino)methane ligand

Treatment of fac-[Mn(CNR)(CO)3{(PMe2)2CH2}]ClO4 (1a R = Ph, R = tBu) with KOH produced the cleavage of one of the P-C bonds of the coordinated dmpm ligand, resulting in the formation of phosphine-phosphinite complexes fac-[Mn(PMe2O)(CNR)(CO)3(PMe3)] (2a,b). Alkoxides such as NaOMe and NaOEt promoted similar processes in 1a,b, yielding fac-[Mn(CNR)(CO)3(PMe3)(PMe2OR')]ClO4 (3a R = tBu, R' = Me; 3b R = Ph, R' = Me; 4a R = tBu, R' = Et; 4b R = Ph, R' = Et) derivatives. The phosphinite ligand in 2a, b can be sequentially protonated by addition of 0.5 and 1 equivalent of HBF4 leading to fac-[{Mn(CNR)(CO)3(PMe3)(PMe2O)}2H]BF4 (6a,b) and fac-[Mn(CNR)(CO)3(PMe3)(PMe2OH)]BF4 (5a,b), respectively.     

Synthesis of Al complexes containing phenoxy-imine ligands and their use as the catalyst precursors for efficient living ring-opening polymerisation of epsilon-caprolactone

Al complexes containing phenoxy-imine ligands of type, Me2Al[O-2-R1-6-(R2N=CH)C6H3] [R1 = Me, R2 = 2,6-iPr2C6H3 (1a), tBu (1b); R1 = tBu, R2 = 2,6-iPr2C6H3 (2a), tBu (2b), cyclohexyl (2c), adamantyl (2d), C6H5 (2e), 2,6-Me2C6H3 (2f), C6F5 (2g)] have been prepared in high yields from AlMe3 by treating with 1.0 equiv. of 2-R1-6-(R2N=CH)C6H3OH in n-hexane. Structures for 1a, 1b, 2a-e and 2g were determined by X-ray crystallography, and these complexes have a distorted tetrahedral geometry around Al; both the Al-O and the Al-N bond distances were influenced by substituents in both the aryloxo and the imino groups. Me2Al[mu2-O-2-(R2N=CH)C6H4](AlMe3) [R2 = 2,6-iPr2C6H3 (3a), tBu (3b)] were prepared exclusively by reaction of AlMe3 with 2-(R2N=CH)C6H4OH, and these complexes form a distorted tetrahedral geometry around each Al centre with additional AlMe3 coordinating to the oxygen in the phenoxy-imine ligand. Complexes 1a, 1b and 2a-g were tested as catalyst precursors for ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) of epsilon-caprolactone (CL) in the presence of (n)BuOH (1.0 equiv. to Al), and their catalytic activities were strongly influenced by the imino substituent (R2). The efficient ROP has been achieved using the C6F5 analogue (2g), with the ROP taking place in a living manner.     

Synthesis and reactivity of uranium(IV) amide complexes supported by a triamidotriazacyclononane ligand

Reaction of [U{(SiMe2NPh)3-tacn}Cl] with LiNEt2 or LiNPh2 affords the corresponding amide compounds, [U{(SiMe2NPh)3-tacn}(NR2)] (R = Et (1), R = Ph (2)). The complexes have been fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and the solid-state structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The six nitrogen atoms of the tris(dimethylsilylanilide)triazacyclononane ligand are in a trigonal prismatic configuration with the nitrogen atom of the diethylamide ligand capping one of the trigonal faces of the trigonal prism. Crystallization of 2 from CH3CN solution gave crystals of the six-membered heterocycle [U{(SiMe2NPh)3-tacn}{kappa2-(HNC(Me))2CC[triple bond]N}] (3). The reactivity of the amides was investigated. Both compounds undergo acid-base reactions with protic substrates such as HOC6H2-2,4,6-Me3, 3,5-Me2pzH (pz = pyrazolyl) and HSC5H4N to give the corresponding [U{(SiMe2NPh)3-tacn}X] (X = OC6H2-2,4,6-Me3 (4), 3,5-Me2pzH (5), kappa2-SC5H4N (6)) complexes. The solid-state structures of and were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and revealed that the compounds are eight-coordinate with dodecahedral geometry.     

Simple syntheses, structural diversity, and Tishchenko reaction catalysis of neutral homoleptic rare earth(II or III) 3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazolates--the structures of

The homoleptic rare-earth pyrazolate complexes [Sc(tBu2pz)3], [Ln2(tBu2pz)6] (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Lu), [Eu4(tBu2pz)8] and the mixed oxidation state species [Yb2(tBu2pz)5] (tBu2pz = 3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazolate) have been prepared by a simple reaction between the corresponding rare-earth metal and 3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazole, in the presence of mercury, at elevated temperatures. In addition, [Yb2(tBu2pz)6] was prepared by redox transmetallation/ligand exchange between ytterbium, diphenylmercury(II) and tBu2pzH in toluene, whilst the same reactants in toluene under different conditions or in diethyl ether gave [Yb2(tBu2pz)5]. The complexes of the trivalent lanthanoids display dimeric structures [Ln2(tBu2pz)6] (Ln = La, Nd, Yb, Lu) with chelating eta2-terminal and eta2:eta2-bridging pyrazolate coordination. The considerably smaller Sc3+ ion forms monomeric [Sc(tBu2pz)3] of putative D3h molecular symmetry, with pyrazolate ligands solely eta2-bonded. [Eu4(tBu2pz)8] is a structurally remarkable tetranuclear EuII complex with two types of europium centres in a linear array. The outer two are bonded to one terminal and two bridging pyrazolates, and the inner two are coordinated by four bridging ligands. Unprecedented mu-eta5:eta2 pyrazolate ligation is observed, with each outer Eu2+ sandwiched between two eta5-bonded pyrazolate groups, which are also eta2-linked to an inner Eu2+. The two inner Eu2+ ions are linked together by two equally occupied components of each of two symmetry related, disordered pyrazolate groups with one component eta4:eta2 bridging and one eta3:eta2 bridging. [La2(tBu2pz)6] has also been shown to be a Tishchenko reaction catalyst with several organic substrates.     

Construction of polyoxometalates-based coordination polymers through direct incorporation between polyoxometalates and the voids in a 2D network

A series of polyoxometalates (POMs)-based coordination polymers, namely, {[Cu(2,3-Me2pz)(2,5-Me2pz)0.5]4(SiW12O40)(2,5-Me2pz)}n (2,3-Me2pz = 2,3-dimethylpyrazine; 2,5-Me2pz = 2,5-dimethylpyrazine; 1), {[Cu2(4,4'-bipy)4(H2O)4](SiW12O40)(H2O)18}n (4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine; 2), {[Cu(2-Mepz)1.5]3(PMo12O40)(H2O)3.5}n (2-Mepz = 2-methylpyrazine; 3), {[Ag(2,3-Me2pz)1.5]4(SiW12O40}n (4), {[Cu(pz)1.5]4(SiW12O40)(H2O)3}n (pz = pyrazine; 5), {[Cu(2,3-Me2pz)1.5]4(SiW12O40)}n (6), {[Cu(4,4'-bipy)1.75]4(SiW12O40)(H2O)2}n (7), and {[Cu2(4,4'-bipy)4(H2O)4](SiW12O40)(4,4'-bipy)2(H2O)4}n (8), were synthesized through direct incorporation between POMs and the voids of the 2D network. Crystal structural analysis reveals that the relationship between the size of the void of the 2D network and that of POMs is of key importance for successful synthesis of POMs-based open metal-organic frameworks. Guest replacement shows that the pore size of the framework constructed through direct incorporation between POMs and the voids of the 2D network is very sensitive to guest molecules.     

Syntheses of mixed-ligand tetranuclear gold(I)-nitrogen clusters by ligand exchange reactions with the dinuclear gold(I) formamidinate complex Au(2)(2,6-Me2Ph-form)2

The reaction of the sterically crowded dinuclear gold(I) amidinate complex Au2(2,6-Me2Ph-form)2, 1, with the less bulky bidentate nitrogen ligands results in the formation of tetranuclear gold(I) complexes. When the less bulky amidinate, K(4-MePh-form), A, was reacted with 1 in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio, crystals containing equal amounts of the tetranuclear and dinuclear gold(I) aryl formamidinates, Au4(4-MePh-form)4 and Au2(2,6-Me2Ph-form)2, where 2,6-Me2Ph-form = B, were found in the same unit cell, 2 x 2THF: space group P, a = 10.794(11) A, b = 14.392(15) A, c = 25.75(3) A, alpha = 82.564(17) degrees, beta = 85.443(18) degrees, gamma = 82.614(19) degrees. The reaction of K(4-MePh-form), A, and 1 in a 1:2 ratio (excess) produced the tetranuclear complex only, 3. The potassium salt of the exchanged bulky ligand, K(2,6-Me2Ph-form), formed as a byproduct. The reaction of the dinuclear gold(I) complex Au2(2,6-Me2Ph-form)2 with the 3,5-diphenylpyrazolate salt, K(3,5-Ph2pz), resulted in the formation of two tetranuclear mixed-ligand complexes, Au4(3,5-Ph2pz)2(2,6-Me2Ph-form)2 x 2THF, 4 x 2THF (space group P21/c, a = 11.5747(19) A, b = 25.497(4) A, c = 21.221(3) A, beta = 96.979(3) degrees) and Au4(3,5-Ph2pz)3(2,6-Me2Ph-form) x THF, 5 x THF (space group P21/c, a = 23.058(5) A, b = 14.314(3) A, c = 18.528(4) A, beta = 90.94(3) degrees. The block crystals from the tetranuclear complex, 4 x 2THF, contain mixed ligands with each pyrazolate ring facing an amidinate ring. The tetranuclear mixed ligand complex, 5 x THF, was isolated as needles with ligands alternating above and below the Au4 plane. The two tetranuclear mixed-ligand complexes emit at 490 and 530 nm, respectively, under UV excitation.     

H(2) activation and hydride transfer to olefins by al(c(6) f(5) )(3) -based frustrated lewis pairs

Frustrated delivery: Frustrated Lewis pairs derived from tBu(3) P and Al(C(6) F(5) )(3) activate H(2) to give [tBu(3) PH][(μ-H)(Al(C(6) F(5) )(3) )(2) ], which reacts with unactivated olefins to give RAl(C(6) F(5) )(2) (R=Et or Cy) and [tBu(3) PH][Al(C(6) F(5) )(4) ]. The proposed mechanism involves olefin activation by aluminum, which is supported by the isolation of the cyclohexene complex [Al(C(6) F(5) )(3) ?(C(6) H(10) )].     

Film growth precursor development for metal nitrides. Synthesis, structure, and volatility of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) complexes containing bis(imido)metal fragments and various nitrogen donor ligands

The molybdenum and tungsten complexes W2(NtBu)4(pz)4(pzH).(C6H14)0.5 (pz = pyrazolate), M(NtBu)2(Me2pz)2(Me2pzH)2 (Me2pz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazolate), M(NtBu)2(tBu2pz)2 (tBu2pz = 3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazolate), M2(NtBu)4(Me2pz)2Cl2, W(NtBu)2(C2N3(iPr)2)2py2, M(NtBu)2-(CN4CF3)2py2, and W(NtBu)2(PhNNNPh)2 were prepared by various synthetic routes from the starting materials Mo(NtBu)2Cl2, W(NtBu)2(NHtBu)2, and W(NtBu)2Cl2py2. These new complexes were characterized by spectral and analytical methods and by X-ray crystal structure determinations. The volatilities and thermal stabilities were evaluated to determine the potential of the new complexes for use in thin film growth of metal nitride films. Mo(NtBu)2(tBu2pz)2 and W(NtBu)2(tBu2pz)2 were found to have the optimum combination of volatility and thermal stability for application in atomic layer deposition thin film growth procedures.     

Solid-state structural and magnetic investigations of [M[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)](BF(4))(2) (M = Fe,Co, Ni,Cu): observation of a thermally induced solid-state phase change controlling an iron(II) spin-state crossover

The reaction of M(BF(4))(2).xH(2)O (M = Co, Ni, and Cu) and HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) in a 1:2 ratio yields [Co[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)](BF(4))(2) (2), [Ni[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)](BF(4))(2) (3), and [Cu[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)](BF(4))(2) (4). Over the temperature range from 5 to 350, 345, or 320 K, Curie law behavior is observed for microcrystalline samples of all three compounds showing them to have three, two, and one unpaired electrons, respectively, with no spin-crossover observed for 2. Crystalline samples of these compounds torque in the applied magnetic field the first time the sample is cooled to 5 K. The solid-state structures of all three are isomorphous at 220 K, monoclinic in the space group C2/c. The metal is located on a unique crystallographic site and has a trigonally distorted octahedral structure, with 4 showing the expected Jahn-Teller distortions. Cooling crystals of all three to low temperatures leads to the observation of the same phase change to triclinic in the new space group P(-)1 with nonmerohedral twinning. This change is reversible and yields two crystallographically unique metal sites at low temperature. The bond angles and distances for the two different metal sites for each compound in the low temperature structures are very similar to each other and to those in the 220 K structures. The same phase change, monoclinic to triclinic, has been observed previously for [Fe[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)](BF(4))(2) (1), except in this case, the phase change results in half of the cations changing over from the high-spin state to the low-spin state while the other half of the cations remain high-spin, with the low-spin form decreasing its Fe-N bond distances by 0.19 A. The new results with 2-4 show that it is the phase transition, which occurs in complexes of the type [M[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)](BF(4))(2) with first row transition metals, that is driving the unusual spin-crossover behavior of [Fe[HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)](BF(4))(2).     

Rhenium(V) oxocomplexes with novel pyrazolyl-based N4- and N3S-donor chelators

The novel pyrazolyl-based ligands 3,5-Me2pz(CH2)2NH(CH2)2NH(CH2)2NH2 and pz*(CH2)2NH-Gly-CH2STrit (pz*=pz, 3,5-Me2pz, 4-(EtOOC)CH(2)-3,5-Me2pz) were synthesized, and their suitability to stabilize Re(V) oxocomplexes was evaluated using different starting materials, namely (NBu4)[ReOCl4], [ReOCl3(PPh3)2] and trans-[ReO2(py)4]Cl. Compound reacts with trans-[ReO2(py)4]Cl yielding the cationic compound [ReO(OMe){3,5-Me2pz(CH2)2N(CH2)2NH(CH2)2NH2}](BPh4) in a low isolated yield. In contrast, the neutral complexes [ReO{pz*(CH2)2NH-Gly-CH2S}] (pz*=pz, 3,5-Me2pz, 4-(EtOOCCH2)-3,5-Me2pz) were synthesized almost quantitatively by reacting [ReOCl3(PPh3)2] or (NBu4)[ReOCl4] with the trityl-protected chelators. The X-ray diffraction analysis of and confirmed the tetradentate coordination mode of the respective ancillary ligands. In the monoanionic chelator coordinates to the metal through four nitrogen atoms, while in the chelator is trianionic, coordinating to the metal through three nitrogens and one sulfur atom. Solution NMR studies of , including two-dimensional NMR techniques (1H COSY and 1H/13C HSQC), confirmed that the N3S coordination mode of the chelators is retained in solution. Unlike , complexes may be considered relevant in the development of radiopharmaceuticals, as further corroborated by the synthesis of the congener [99mTcO{pz(CH2)2-NH-Gly-CH2S}]. This radioactive compound was obtained from 99mTcO4- in aqueous medium, in almost quantitative yield and with high specific activity and radiochemical purity.
