Trinuclear metal(III) trifluoroacetates

Hydrated and anhydrous trinuclear metal(III) trifluoroacetates of Cr and Fe were prepared by reaction of freshly precipitated metal oxides with trifluoroacetic acid, while manganese analogs by acid exchange. IR data show the presence of bidentate trifluoroacetate groups. The diffuse reflectance spectra suggest octahedral environment around metals.Mössbauer spectra show that iron atoms in the compounds are high spin hexacoordinated; two types of iron sites are suggested in hydrated iron compound. Low magnetic moment of chromium and iron compounds indicate antiferromagnetic coupling. Th anhydrous compounds decompose in single step with the evolution of (CF₃CO)₂O.M ₃O(O₂CCF₃)₇ form complexes [M ₃O(O₂CCF₃)₆·3Py]⁺ [O₂CCF₃]^– with pyridine.

Dreikernige Metall(III)-Trifluoracetate

Zusammenfassung Es wurden hydratisierte und wasserfreie dreikernige Metall(III)-Trifluoracetate von Cr und Fe mittels der Reaktion von frisch gefälltem Metalloxid und Trifluoressigsäure dargestellt; die Mangan-Analogen wurden über Säure-Austausch gewonnen. Die IR-Daten zeigen die Präsenz von zweizähnigen Trifluoracetat-Gruppen an. Die diffuse-reflectance-Spektren sprechen für eine octahedrale Umgebung rund um das Metall. DieMössbauer-Spektren zeigen, daß die Eisenatome in den entsprechenden Verbindungen high-spin hexakoordiniert sind; dabei werden in den hydratisierten Eisenverbindungen zwei Typen von Eisenatomen gezeigt. Ein niederes magnetisches Moment der Chrom- und Eisen-Verbindungen zeigen eine antiferromagnetische Kopplung an. Die wasserfreien Verbindungen zersetzen sich in einem einzigen Schritt unter Entwicklung von (CF₃CO)₂O. Mit Pyridin bilden die VerbindungenM ₃O(O₂CCF₃)₇ die Komplexe [M ₃O(O₂CCF₃)₆·3Py]⁺ [O₂CCF₃]^–.

     

具有自旋涨落性质的单一手性三核镍(Ⅱ)配合物

[Ni₃O(TBPLA)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₄(H₂O)₆ [TBPLA=(S)-1,1′,1″-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl)-tris(methylene)-tris-(pyrrolidine-2-carboxylate)] was found to possibly display multiferroic property (the coexistence of ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism). The magnetic property of this compound was studied and no magnetic hysteresis loop was found probably due to an intrinsic fluctuation for the magnetic exchange energy.

Ionothermal Synthesis of a NaCl‐type Topological Network Based on Trinuclear Cobalt(II) Clusters as Nodes

A new metal‐organic network [Co₃(tbip)₃(H₂O)₄] · 2H₂O ( 1 ) (H₂tbip = 5‐tert‐butyl‐isophthalic acid) was synthesized through the ionothermal reaction of H₂tbip, cobalt nitrate, and [bmim]Br ionic liquid ([bmim]Br = 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide). It exhibits a three‐dimensional (3D) framework with NaCl topology based on trinuclear cobalt(II) clusters as nodes. The magnetic studies show that there exist antiferromagnetic interactions between the Co^II ions.     

Trinuclear silver(I) complexes of fluorinated pyrazolates

Silver pyrazolates [[3-(CF3)Pz]Ag]3, [[3-(CF3),5-(CH3)Pz]Ag]3, [[3-(CF3),5-(Ph)Pz]Ag]3, [[3-(CF3),5-(But)Pz]Ag]3, and [[3-(C3F7),5-(But)Pz]Ag]3 have been synthesized by treatment of the corresponding pyrazole with a slight molar excess of silver(I) oxide. This economical and convenient route gives silver pyrazolates in high (>80%) yields. X-ray crystal structures of [[3-(CF3),5-(CH3)Pz]Ag]3, [[3-(CF3),5-(But)Pz]Ag]3, and [[3-(C3F7),5-(But)Pz]Ag]3 show that these molecules have trinuclear structures with essentially planar to highly distorted Ag3N6 metallacycles. [[3-(CF3),5-(CH3)Pz]Ag]3 forms extended columns via intertrimer argentophilic contacts (the closest Ag...Ag separation between the neighboring trimers are 3.355 and 3.426 A). The trinuclear [[3-(CF3),5-(But)Pz]Ag]3 units crystallize in pairs, basically forming "dimers of trimers", with the six silver atom core of the adjacent trimers adopting a chair conformation. However, in these dimers of trimers, even the shortest intertrimer Ag...Ag distance (3.480 A) is slightly longer than the van der Waals contact of silver (3.44 A). [[3-(C3F7),5-(But)Pz]Ag]3, which has two bulky groups on each pyrazolyl ring, shows no close intertrimer Ag...Ag contacts (closest intertrimer Ag...Ag distance = 5.376 A). The Ag-N bond distances and the intratrimer Ag...Ag separations of the silver pyrazolates do not show much variation. However, their N-Ag-N angles are sensitive to the nature (especially, the size) of substituents on the pyrazolyl rings. The pi-acidic [[3,5-(CF3)2Pz]Ag]3 and [[3-(C3F7),5-(But)Pz]Ag]3 form adducts with the pi-base toluene. X-ray data show that they adopt extended columnar structures of the type [[Ag3]2.[toluene]]infinity and [[Ag3]'.[toluene]]infinity ([[3,5-(CF3)2Pz]Ag]3 = [Ag3],[[3-(C3F7),5-(But)Pz]Ag]3 = [Ag3]'), in which toluene interleaves and makes face-to-face contacts with [[3-(C3F7),5-(But)Pz]Ag]3 or dimers of [[3,5-(CF3)2Pz]Ag]3.     

Construction of Mononuclear Copper(II) and Trinuclear Cobalt(II) Complexes Based on Asymmetric Salamo‐Type Ligands

Mononuclear copper(II) and trinuclear cobalt(II) complexes, namely [Cu(L¹)]₂ · CH₂Cl₂ and [{Co(L²)(EtOH)}₂Co(H₂O)] · EtOH {H₂L¹ = 4,6‐dichloro‐6′‐methyoxy‐2,2′‐[1,1′‐(ethylenedioxydinitrilo)dimethylidyne]diphenol and H₃L² = 6‐ethyoxy‐6′‐hydroxy‐2,2′‐[1,1′‐(ethylenedioxydinitrilo)dimethylidyne]diphenol}, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In the Cu^II complex, the Cu^II atom is four‐coordinate, with a N₂O₂ coordination sphere, and has a slightly distorted square‐planar arrangement. Interestingly, the obtained trinuclear Co^II complex is different from the common reported 2:3 (L:Co^II) salamo‐type Co^II complexes. Infinite 2D layer supramolecular structures are formed via abundant intermolecular hydrogen bonding and π ··· π stacking interactions in the Cu^II and Co^II complexes.     

A New Family of Trinuclear Nickel(II) Complexes as Single‐Molecule Magnets

Three new trinuclear nickel (II) complexes with the general composition [Ni₃L₃(OH)(X)](ClO₄) have been prepared in which X=Cl^? ( 1 ), OCN^? ( 2 ), or N₃^? ( 3 ) and HL is the tridentate N,N,O donor Schiff base ligand 2‐[(3‐dimethylaminopropylimino)methyl]phenol. Single‐crystal structural analyses revealed that all three complexes have a similar Ni₃ core motif with three different types of bridging, namely phenoxido (μ₂ and μ₃), hydroxido (μ₃), and μ₂‐Cl ( 1 ), μ_1,1‐NCO ( 2 ), or μ_1,1‐N₃ ( 3 ). The nickel(II) ions adopt a compressed octahedron geometry. Single‐crystal magnetization measurements on complex 1 revealed that the pseudo‐three‐fold axis of Ni₃ corresponds to a magnetic easy axis, being consistent with the magnetic anisotropy expected from the coordination structure of each nickel ion. Temperature‐dependent magnetic measurements indicated ferromagnetic coupling leading to an S=3 ground state with 2J/k=17, 17, and 28 K for 1 , 2 , and 3 , respectively, with the nickel atoms in an approximate equilateral triangle. The high‐frequency EPR spectra in combination with spin Hamiltonian simulations that include zero‐field splitting parameters D_Ni/k=?5, ?4, and ?4 K for 1 , 2 , and 3 , respectively, reproduced the EPR spectra well after a anisotropic exchange term was introduced. Anisotropic exchange was identified as D_i,j/k=?0.9, ?0.8, and ?0.8 K for 1 , 2 , and 3 , respectively, whereas no evidence of single‐ion rhombic anisotropy was observed spectroscopically. Slow relaxation of the magnetization at low temperatures is evident from the frequency‐dependence of the out‐of‐phase ac susceptibilities. Pulsed‐field magnetization recorded at 0.5 K shows clear steps in the hysteresis loop at 0.5–1 T, which has been assigned to quantum tunneling, and is characteristic of single‐molecule magnets.

Complexes [Cu₃(DDST)]Cl₆, [Cu₃(DOCD)]Cl₆ and [Cu₃(DTTD)]Cl₆?·?H₂O and the copper ion-free ligand hydrochlorides DDST?·?12HCl and DOCD?·?12HCl are supported by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements and spectroscopic studies. Potentiometric equilibrium studies on DDST and DOCD hydrochlorides and their copper complexes also support the structures.     

Trinuclear Cu(II) complexes of a chiral N6O3 amine

Enantiopure trinuclear Cu(II) complexes 3 and 4 of macrocyclic amine 1 derived from the 3 + 3 condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol and (1S,2S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane have been synthesized and characterized by ESI MS and NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray crystal structures of both complexes have been determined. The structure of the chloride derivative 3 indicates unusual combination of distorted tetragonal bipyramidal, square pyramidal and square geometries of the three Cu(II) ions bound by macrocycle 1. The acetate complex 4 also exhibits unsymmetrical trinuclear core with the bridging and terminal acetate anions. The complexation of Cu(II) ions by macrocycle 1 has been studied using potentiometric methods and both protonation and binding constants of 1 have been determined. The distribution of the complex forms indicates cooperative binding of three metal ions by 1. The overall magnetic behaviour for 3 corresponds to an antiferromagnetically coupled triangular system. Compound 4 shows the presence of antiferromagnetic coupling (J = -74.9(1) cm(-1)) between the metal centers in equilateral triangular array.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Two Trinuclear Nickel(II) Complexes

Two novel trinuclear nickel(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by X‐ray single crystal diffraction. Compound [Ni₃(ashz)₃(py)₂(DMF)₂]·(DMF)₂ ( 1 ) crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 22.114(2), b = 10.509(9), c = 19.485(2) Å, β = 114.443(1)°, Z = 4; compound [Ni₃(acshz)₃(py)₂(DMF)₂]·(DMF)₂ ( 2 ) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 20.0620(2), b = 9.7017(6), c = 25.0533(2) Å, β = 97.0610(2)°, Z = 4, where ashz and acshz are deprotonated N‐acetylsalicylhydrazide (H₃ashz) and N‐acetyl‐5‐chlorosalicylhydrazide (H₃acshz), respectively. The crystal structure analysis of 1 and 2 showed that three Ni²⁺ ions in a linear arrangement are bridged by two ligands ((ashz)^3? or (acshz)^3?) to form a neutral nuclear with two four‐coordinate square‐planar nickel ions linked by a six‐coordinate octahedral central nickel ion.     

Trinuclear gold(I) triazolates: a new class of wide-band phosphors and sensors

A new cyclic gold(I) triazolate trimer, [Au(3,5-i-Pr2Tz)]3 (1), exhibits fully overlapping aurophilically bonded dimer-of-trimer units that lead to multiple phosphorescence bands in both the solid state and solution. The conformation of the hexanuclear unit exhibits reversible interconversion between C2 and D3 effective symmetries, depending on the crystal temperature or solution concentration, the variation of which leads to isoemissive and isosbestic points. Solutions of 1 exhibit remarkable quenching properties that demonstrate molecular recognition with high selectivity and hypersensitivity for some reagents, as influenced by protonation via Br?nsted acids, pi intercalation, and/or energy transfer. The quenched phosphorescence of 1 by acetic acids can be regenerated by NEt3.     

三核铜(Ⅰ)配合物合成及结构分析

铜(I)配合物由于其变化奇异的结构,性质及配位数而引起化学工作者的广泛兴趣.众所周知,四电子供体双二苯基膦甲烷(dppm)适宜在近距离内与两个金属原子同时配位,容易形成八员环的二聚体M2P4C2[1],因而是桥联两个低氧化态过渡金属的最佳选择,由于在M2(dppm)2框架结构中的配位不饱和性,仍需有单齿或双齿配体参加配位,这也正是M2(dppm)2类配合物特殊的成键,反应性和催化性的主要原因,这种附加配体不仅影响金属离子的配位构型而且影响M2(dppm)2的框架结构,同时dppm能够稳定多核配合物.我们在配体dppm存在下直接还原铜(Ⅱ)盐得到双核铜(I)配合物[Cu(dppm)(NO3)]2[2],又在四苯基硼钠存在下部分取代弱配位的硝酸根制备了具有新奇结构的三核铜(I)配合物[Cu3(dppm)3(OH)(NO3)](NO3)CH3OH,通过元素分析,核磁,红外,电导等方法研究了配合物的有关物理化学性质,配合物的晶体和分子结构已由X-射线单晶结构分析确定.     

Trinuclear Cobalt(II) and Zinc(II) Salamo‐type Complexes: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Fluorescent Properties

Two trinuclear Co^II and Zn^II complexes, [(CoL)₂(OAc)₂Co] and [(ZnL)₂(OAc)₂Zn], with an asymmetric Salen‐type bisoxime ligand [H₂L = 4‐(N,N‐diethylamine)‐2,2′‐[ethylenediyldioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol] were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV/Vis, and fluorescent spectroscopy. The crystal structures of the Co^II and Zn^II complexes were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction methods. The Co^II atom is pentacoodinated by N₂O₂ donor atoms from the (L)^2– unit and one oxygen atom from the coordinated acetate ion, resulting in a trigonal bipyramid arrangement. With the help of intermolecular hydrogen bonding C–H ··· O and C–H ··· π interactions, a self‐assembled continual zigzag chain‐like supramolecular structure is formed. The Zn^II atom is pentacoodinated by N₂O₂ donor atoms from the (L)^2– unit and one oxygen atom from the coordinated acetate ion, resulting in an almost regular trigonal bipyramid arrangement. A self‐assembled continual 1D supramolecular chain‐like structure is formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding C–H ··· O and C–H ··· π interactions. Additionally, the photophysical properties of the Co^II and Zn^II complexes were discussed.

Syntheses,Structures, and Magnetism of Trinuclear Zn2Ln Complexes with 2,6‐Dipicolinoylbis(N,N‐diethylthiourea)

The bifunctional ligand 2,6‐dipicolinoylbis(N,N‐diethylthiourea) (H₂L) readily reacts with mixtures of Zn(CH₃COO)₂ and LnCl₃ in MeOH at ambient temperature with formation of trinuclear heterobimetallic complexes [Zn₂Ln(L)₂(OAc)₃] ( 1a – 1f ) (Ln = Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er). The X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction and structural studies of the complexes revealed their isostructural nature, in which two doubly‐charged ligands {L^2–} bind two Zn²⁺ ions with the terminal acylthiourea sites and one Ln³⁺ ion with the central 2,6‐pyridinedicarboxamide site. In the complexes, the coordination numbers of Ln^III and Zn^II ions are 9 and 5, respectively. Magnetic properties of the complexes were studied by temperature‐dependent dc magnetic measurements. The observed μ_eff values at room temperature are all closed to the calculated values. Fitting χ_M and M data of [Zn₂Gd(L)₂(OAc)₃] ( 1d ) shows a g_iso value of 1.94.     

From a Dy(III) Single Molecule Magnet (SMM) to a Ferromagnetic [Mn(II)Dy(III)Mn(II)] Trinuclear Complex

The Schiff base compound 2,2'-{[(2-aminoethyl)imino]bis[2,1-ethanediyl-nitriloethylidyne]}bis-2-hydroxy-benzoic acid (H(4)L) as a proligand was prepared in situ. This proligand has three potential coordination pockets which make it possible to accommodate from one to three metal ions allowing for the possible formation of mono-, di-, and trinuclear complexes. Reaction of in situ prepared H(4)L with Dy(NO(3))(3)·5H(2)O resulted in the formation of a mononuclear complex [Dy(H(3)L)(2)](NO(3))·(EtOH)·8(H(2)O) (1), which shows SMM behavior. In contrast, reaction of in situ prepared H(4)L with Mn(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O and Dy(NO(3))(3)·5H(2)O in the presence of a base resulted in a trinuclear mixed 3d-4f complex (NHEt(3))(2)[Dy{Mn(L)}(2)](ClO(4))·2(H(2)O) (2). At low temperatures, compound 2 is a weak ferromagnet. Thus, the SMM behavior of compound 1 can be switched off by incorporating two Mn(II) ions in close proximity either side of the Dy(III). This quenching behavior is ascribed to the presence of the weak ferromagnetic interactions between the Mn(II) and Dy(III) ions, which at T > 2 K act as a fluctuating field causing the reversal of magnetization on the dysprosium ion. Mass spectrometric ion signals related to compounds 1 and 2 were both detected in positive and negative ion modes via electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) reactions with ND(3) were performed in a FT-ICR Penning-trap mass spectrometer.
