Two chiral mononuclear and one-dimensional cadmium(II) complexes constructed by (1R,2R)-N1,N2-bis(pyridinylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine derivatives: Effect of positional isomerism

Reactions of (1R,2R)-N¹,N²-bis(pyridinylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine derivatives, (1R,2R)-2-bpcd and (1R,2R)-3-bpcd [(1R,2R)-2-bpcd = (1R,2R)-N¹,N²-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, (1R,2R)-3-bpcd = (1R,2R)-N¹,N²-bis(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine], with CdI₂ in an analogous way led to the formation of a chiral discrete mononuclear complex and a chiral one-dimensional polymeric chain, respectively, which may be attributed to the positional isomerism of the ligands. The chiral organic ligands and complexes display luminescent properties indicating that they may have a potential application as optical materials. Powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency measurement shows that the SHG efficiency of the complexes is approximately 0.3 and 0.45 times that of KDP, respectively.     

Mononuclear and binuclear manganese(II) complexes with tridentate bis-benzimidazolyl ligands

Summary Manganese(II) complexes of bis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl) ether (DGB), bis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl) sulphide (TGB) and the n-butyl derivative of DGB (BDGB) were prepared and characterised. The solution e.p.r. spectrum of [Mn(TGB)Cl₂] in DMF at 143 K is commensurate with an axially distorted monomeric manganese(II) complex, room temperature magnetic moment (6.04 B.M.) per manganese(II) atom being in the range found for other d⁵ monomeric manganese(II) complexes. The solution e.p.r. spectrum of [Mn(BDGB)Cl₂]-2H₂O in DMF at 143 K indicates the presence of two equivalent manganese(II) ions coupled by an exchange interaction, fostered by bridging chlorides. Evidence for this is provided by a nearly isotropic 11 line hyperfine structure of ⁵⁵Mn, with a coupling constant 45 ± 5G. Contact-shifted ¹H n.m.r. data also supports an exchange coupled dimeric manganese complex. The room temperature magnetic moment, 5.64 B.M., per manganese(II) indicates quenching of the magnetic moment below that of monomeric manganese(II) ion. The [Mn(DGB)Cl₂]·H₂O complex exhibits a magnetic moment of 6.02 B.M. per manganese, indicating a monomeric manganese complex. E.p.r. data of the complex diluted in an analogous Zn-DGB complex (1∶20) correlates well for D = 0.22cm⁻¹ and λ ∼- 0.267. The [Mn(DGB)-(C1O₄)₂] and [Mn(BDGB)(ClO₄)₂] complexes, diluted in analogous Zn-DGB and Zn-BDGB complexes (1∶20), show a strong single e.p.r. line at g _eff ∼- 2. The complexes have low magnetic moments; 4.44 B.M./Mn and 4.39 B.M./Mn, at room temperature.     

Mononuclear nickel(II) complexes coordinated by polypyridyl ligands

Three mononuclear polypyridyl complexes of Ni(II), [Ni(Ph₂phen)₃](PF₆)₂·CH₃CN (1), [Ni(dpa)₂(phen)](PF₆)₂ (2) and [Ni(bpy)₃](PF₆)₂ (3), where Ph₂phen is 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, dpa is 2,2′-dipyridylamine, bpy is 2,2′-bipyridine, and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, were prepared and their solid state structures determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The structural determination shows that the coordination geometry around the Ni(II) center is a distorted octahedron in each complex. The investigation of synthesis procedure and crystallographic data of complex 3 indicates the spontaneous resolution of supramolecular chirality. A careful inspection of the packing pattern in the lattice of each complex reveals that non-covalent interactions of two different types, viz. C-H?F and C-H?π interactions, are active in the lattice. The packing structures of 1-3 also show that the rings of the polypyridyl ligands, Ph₂phen, dpa, bpy, and phen, are not located face-to-face and can not interact through π-π interactions. Cyclic voltammetry data of 1 and 3 show that the Ni(III/II) reduction couple is quasi-reversible and this reduction becomes progressively more difficult on passing from bpy to Ph₂phen, while complex 2 shows an irreversible behavior with the peak-to-peak separation of about 500 mV. Magnetic susceptibility data derived from paramagnetic NMR revealed effective magnetic moments of 3.12 BM for 1, 3.27 BM for 2, and 3.14 for 3 at room temperature.     

Mononuclear carbonyl manganese(I) and molybdenym(II) complexes with chelating biimidazole,bibenzimidazole or tetramethylbiimidazole ligands

The preparations and properties are described of novel anionic and neutral mononuclear biimidazolate (biim), bibenzimidazolate (bibzim), or tetramethylbiimidazolate (tmbiim) manganese(I) and molybdenum(II) complexes of the type [Et₄N][Mn(CO)₂L₂(bibzim)] (L = P(OEt)₃); [Et₄N][Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂-(N)₂] ((N)₂²⁻ = biim²⁻, bibzim²⁻ tmbiim²⁻); [Mn(CO)_4−nL_n{H(N)₂}] (n = 1; H(N)₂⁻ Hbibzim⁻; L = P(OMe)₃, PEt₃), (n = 2; H(N)₂⁻ = Hbiim⁻, Hbibzim⁻; L = P(OPh)₃, P(OMe)₃, P(OEt)₃, P(OⁱPr)₃; [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂{H(N)₂}] (H(NN)₂⁻ = Hbiim⁻, Hbibzim⁻, Htmbiim⁻, in which the heterocyclic anions act as bidentate chelate groups. Treatment of the anionic complexes with MeI gives neutral derivatives of general formula [Mn(CO)₂L₂(Mebibzim)] (L = P(OMe)₃, P(OEt)₃) and [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂{Me(N)₂}] (Me(N)₂⁻ = Me-biim⁻, Mebibzim⁻, Metmbiim⁻. Cationic manganese(I) complexes of the type [Mn(CO)_4−nL_n{H₂(N)₂}][ClO₄ (n = 1; H₂ (N)₂ = H₂bibzim; L = P(Ome)₃, PEt₃), (n = 2; H₂(N)₂ = H₂biim, H₂bibzim; L = P(OPh)₃, P(OMe)₃, P(OEt)₃, P(OⁱPr)₃) have also been obtained by treating the corresponding neutral complexes with HClO₄. The structures of the complexes have been elucidated by molecular weight determinations, conductance data, and IR spectroscopy.     

Crystal structures and magnetic properties of manganese(II) and nickel(II) complexes constructed from 1,3,5-tris(carboxymethoxy)benzene acid ligand

Transition Metal Chemistry - Two coordination polymers, namely {[Mn2(HL)2(bpe)(H2O)8]·5H2O}n (1) and {[Ni3(L)2(bpe)3(H2O)6]·3H2O}n (2)...     

Mononuclear manganese carboxylate complexes: Synthesis and structural studies

Several manganese carboxylates complexes having Pz^iPr2H (3,5-diisopropylpyrazole), Tp^Ph,Me (hydrotris(3-phenyl,5-methyl-pyrazol-1-yl)borate), Tp^ipr2 (hydrotris(3,5-diisopropyl-pyrazol-1-yl)borate) as supporting ligands have been synthesised and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the manganese center in complexes (Pz^iPr2H)₄Mn(NO₂–OBz)₂ (5) and (Pz^iPr2H)₄Mn(F–OBz)₂ (6) have same coordination environment and geometry whereas the complex [Tp^Ph,MeMn(OAc)Pz^Ph,MeH] (7) has a five coordinate manganese center. In all these complexes, the carboxylate groups are coordinated as monodentate and the uncoordinated oxygen atom of the carboxylate groups form intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the NH group of the corresponding coordinated pyrazole (Pz^iPr2H/Pz^Ph,MeH). The complexes 5–8 and 10 were tested for their superoxide dismutase activity and it was found that only complex 7 has SOD activity as its structure is very similar to the active site structure of the native Mn–SOD enzyme. The SOD activity studies on these carboxylate complexes suggest that any model compound with analogous active site structure and intramolecular hydrogen bonding may be a suitable mimic for the Mn–SOD enzyme.     

Formation of cyanide complexes of cobalt(II) and manganese(II)

The formation of complexes of the cyanide ion with Co(II) and Mn(II) has been studied potentiometrically in an aqueous sodium perchlorate medium of unit ionic strength at 298 K. Studies of the equilibria in the cobalt(II)-cyanide system show that at least one strong mononuclear complex exists, while in the manganese(II)-cyanide system two mononuclear complexes can be formed in the concentration range studied.     

Hydrolytic cleavage of DNA by quercetin manganese(II) complexes

Quercetin manganese(II) complexes were investigated focusing on its DNA hydrolytic activity. The complexes successfully promote the cleavage of plasmid DNA, producing single and double DNA strand breaks. The amount of conversion of supercoiled form (SC) of plasmid DNA to the nicked circular form (NC) depends on the concentration of the complex as well as the duration of incubation of the complexes with DNA. The maximum rate of conversion of the supercoiled form to the nicked circular form at pH 7.2 in the presence of 100 μM of the complexes is found to be 1.32 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹. The hydrolytic cleavage of DNA by the complexes was supported by the evidence from free radical quenching, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) assay and T4 ligase ligation.     

Geometric isomerism of copper(II) with monochlorobenzhydrazide chelate complexes

Summary Chelate complexes having a 12 Cu^II ion:(singly deprotonated ligand ratio, formed from Cu^II including 2-, 3- and 4-chlorobenzhydrazides, (ClC₆H₄C(O)NHNH₂) have been studied in the pH > 10 region. With the 2-chloro substituted derivative the cis-isomer is formed, whereas with the 3- and 4-chloro substituted derivatives trans-isomers are formed. The complexing schemes are described.     

Mononuclear Rh(II) PNP-type complexes. Structure and reactivity

The Rh(II) mononuclear complexes [(PNPtBu)RhCl][BF4] (2), [(PNPtBu)Rh(OC(O)CF3)][OC(O)CF3] (4), and [(PNPtBu)Rh(acetone)][BF4]2 (6) were synthesized by oxidation of the corresponding Rh(I) analogs with silver salts. On the other hand, treatment of (PNPtBu)RhCl with AgOC(O)CF3 led only to chloride abstraction, with no oxidation. 2 and 6 were characterized by X-ray diffraction, EPR, cyclic voltammetry, and dipole moment measurements. 2 and 6 react with NO gas to give the diamagnetic complexes [(PNPtBu)Rh(NO)Cl][BF4] (7) and [(PNPtBu)Rh(NO)(acetone)][BF4]2 (8) respectively. 6 is reduced to Rh(I) in the presence of phosphines, CO, or isonitriles to give the Rh(I) complexes [(PNPtBu)Rh(PR3)][BF4] (11, 12) (R = Et, Ph), [(PNPtBu)Rh(CO)][BF4] (13) and [(PNPtBu)Rh(L)][BF4] (15, 16) (L = tert-butyl isonitrile or 2,6-dimethylphenyl isonitrile), respectively. On the other hand, 2 disproportionates to Rh(I) and Rh(III) complexes in the presence of acetonitrile, isonitriles, or CO. 2 is also reduced by triethylphosphine and water to Rh(I) complexes [(PNPtBu)RhCl] (1) and [(PNPtBu)Rh(PEt3)][BF4] (11). When triphenylphosphine and water are used, the reduced Rh(I) complex reacts with a proton, which is formed in the redox reaction, to give a Rh(III) complex with a coordinated BF4, [(PNPtBu)Rh(Cl)(H)(BF4)] (9).     

Zinc(II) and manganese(II) coordination polymers constructed by 2-naphthyl imidazole dicarboxylate: syntheses,structures and properties

Three coordination polymers [Zn(μ₃-HNIDC)(CH₃OH)]_n (H₃NIDC = 2-(2-naphthyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid) (1), [Mn(μ₂-HNIDC)(4,4′-bipy)]_n (4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine) (2) and [Mn₂(μ₂-HNIDC)₂(phen)₂]_n (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (3) have been solvothermally synthesised and structurally characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, thermal analyses and IR spectra. Polymer 1 displays a three-dimensional open architecture with one-dimensional (1D) channels. Polymer 2 exhibits a sheet structure containing infinite rectangles. Polymer 3 presents a 1D wave chain structure. The solid-state photoluminescence of 1 has been investigated as well.

Synthesis and properties of one-dimensional Ni(II) and Ni(II)Cu(II) complexes linked by hydrogen bond

Four dithiooxalato (Dto) bridged one-dimensional Ni(ll) and Ni(ll)Cu(ll) complexes (Me₆[14]dieneN₄)Ni₂(Dto)₂) (1), (Me₆[14]dieneN₄)CuNi(Dto)₂ (2), (Me₆[14]aneN₄)Ni₂(Dto)₂ (3), and (Me₆[14]aneN₄)CuNi(Dto)₂ (4), were synthesized.

In the complex, Ni(1) coordinates four sulphur atoms of two Dto ligands in plane square environment. Ni(2) lies in the center of macrocyclic ligand. For Dto ligand, two sulphur atoms coordinate Ni(1), and O(1) coordinates Ni(2) and forms weak coordination bond. O(2) is linked to N(2) of macrocyclic ligand through hydrogen bond.     

Structural and magnetic properties of three one-dimensional azido-bridged copper(II) and manganese(II) coordination polymers

Three one-dimensional (1D) azido-bridged coordination polymers of formula [Cu(L)(N3)2]n (1), [Cu2(Me-L)(N3)4]n (2), and [Mn(L)(N3)2]n (3) have been synthesized and structurally characterized, and their magnetic properties studied, where L and Me-L are 2-(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine and 2-(3-methylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine, respectively. Compound 1 consists of 1D chains in which the Cu(II) ions with a square pyramidal geometry are alternately bridged by an end-to-end (EE) and an end-on (EO) azido ligands, both adopting a basal-apical disposition. Compound 2 exhibits an unprecedented chain topology built via three different kinds of EO azido bridges. Four Cu(II) ions in the square pyramidal environment are alternately bridged by single and double EO bridges to form a tetranuclear cyclic ring, and neighboring rings are interlinked by double EO bridges to generate a "chain of rings". The intraannular double azido ions are disposed between metal ions in a basal-basal fashion, and the other two kinds of azido ions adopt the basal-apical disposition. Compound 3 consists of 1D concave-convex chains in which cis-octahedrally coordinated Mn(II) ions are alternately bridged by double EE and double EO bridges. There exist pi-pi interactions between the ligands bound to the neighboring Mn(II) ions bridged by the EO bridges. Temperature- and field-dependent magnetic analyses reveal alternate ferromagnetic interactions for 1, dominating ferromagnetic interactions for 2, and alternating ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions through the EO and EE azido bridges for 3, respectively.     

Oxalate-bridged mixed-valence trinuclear manganese(II)-manganese(III)-manganese(II) complexes: synthesis and magnetism

Summary Two novel Mn^II-Mn^III-Mn^II oxalato complexes have been synthesized and characterized, namely [Mn₂Mn(ox)₃(L)₄](ClO₄) [L = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen), respectively], where ox stands for the oxalate dianion. Based on i.r., elemental analyses and electronic spectra, these complexes are proposed to have extended oxalatobridged structures consisting of Mn^II and Mn^III ions, in which Mn^III and each Mn^II ion has a distorted octahedral environment. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility for [Mn₂Mn(ox)₃(phen)₄] (ClO₄) was measured over the 4.1–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin-Hamiltonian operator ( = -2J( _{1 2} + _{2 3})), giving the exchange integral J = -1.57cm^–1. This indicates weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange interaction between Mn^II and Mn^III ions.     

Synthesis and magnetism of tetrachlorophthalato-bridged manganese(II) binuclear complexes

Summary Four novel manganese(II) binuclear complexes have been prepared and characterized, namely [Mn₂(TCPHTA)(L)₄]-(ClO₄)₂ [where L is 2,2-bipyridyl (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridyl (Me₂bipy) or 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen) and TCPHTA is the tetrachlorophthalate dianion]. Based on i.r. spectra, elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, extended tetrachlorophthalato-bridged structures consisting of two manganese(II) ions in which each manganese(II) ion has a distorted octahedral environment are proposed for these structures. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility for [Mn₂(TCPHTA)(phen)₄]-(ClO₄)₂·H₂O was measured over the 4–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator ( = –2J ₁· ₂), giving the exchange integralJ = –1.05 cm^–1. This result is indication of a weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange interaction between the metal ions.     

Dimeric tetrahedral complexes of manganese(II) and iron(II) with benzoyl hydrazones

Summary Dimeric manganese(II)and iron(II)complexes, (ML)₂, derived from benzoyl hydrazones ofo-hydroxyaryl aldehydes and ketones arc described and characterised by elemental analyses and by conductance, molecular weight, magnetic, electronic and i.r. spectral measurements. The dimeric nature of the complexes is revealed by i.r. spectra which show bands atca. 885 Mn²⁺ and 820 cm^–1 Fe²⁺, characteristic of ring vibrations. The i.r. spectra reveal the terdentate nature of the ligands. The electronic spectra in dimethylformamide are consistent with the tetrahedral nature of the complexes. The appreciable lowering in _eff is attributed to the presence of exchange interactions between two paramagnetic atomsvia oxygen bridges.Reprints of this article are not available.
