Synthesis,crystal structure and properties of a novel di-μ2-aqua bridged binuclear manganese(III) Schiff base complex [Mn(vanen)(H2O)2]2(ClO4)2 · 2H2O

The preparation and isolation of the binuclear manganese(III) complex, [Mn(vanen)(H₂O)₂]₂(ClO₄)₂ · 2H₂O was accomplished by air oxidation of a solution containing H₂vanen^**, Et₃N, and Mn(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O in absolute EtOH. The crystal structure of complex was determined by X-ray crystallography, and consists of two molecules bridged by two water molecules through hydrogen bonding. The manganese atom is six-coordinate and presents a distorted octahedral coordination sphere, which consists of the two imine N atoms and two phenolic O atoms of vanen^2– ligand in the equatorial plane, with Mn–N bond distances of 1.975 and 1.987 Å, and Mn–O distances of 1.867 and 1.876 Å, respectively. The non-bonding interatomic MnMn distance is 4.79 Å. In the axial direction, the elongated Mn–O(H₂O) bond distances of 2.255 and 2.381 Å, respectively, are due to Jahn–Teller distortion at the d⁴ metal center. The presence of lattice and coordinate water molecules were also confirmed by the t.g. study and the i.r. spectra. Upon irradiation using visible light in water in the presence of p-benzoquinone, the complex demonstrates its ability to split water.

Interestingly, an in situ condensation between acetic acid and benzene-1,2-diamine has occurred, and the unexpected 2-methyl-1-H-benzo[d] imidazoles serve as counterions and N-H donors to form stable hydrogen-bond network in the crystal. Furthermore, intermolecular hydrogen bonds are found among the cations, anions and crystalline water molecules. The double nuclear molybdenum units are connected by O-H...O hydrogen bonds with the crystalline water molecules to form one-dimensional chains, and the chains are further joined together by N-H...O to form a quasi-two dimensional structure.

Two title rare earth metal coordination compounds, (MnH)[Gd^III(Edta)(H₂O)₃] · 4H₂O (I) and (MnH)₂[Gd ₂ ^III (H₂Ttha)₂] · 4H₂O (II), where Mn = methylamine, H₄Edta = ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid, H₆Ttha = triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N″,N′″,N′″-hexaacetic acid), have been successfully synthesized through direct heating reflux and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. In complex I, the Gd³⁺ ion is nine-coordinated by an Edta ligand and three water molecules, yielding a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic (MC-SAP) conformation. Complex I crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with space group Fdd2. The cell dimensions are as follows: a = 19.5207(17), b = 35.387(3), c = 12.5118(11) Å, and V = 8642.8(13) ų. The central Gd³⁺ ion of II is also ninecoordinate, forming tricapped trigonal prismatic (TC-TP) conformation with three amine nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms. Complex II crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with P2/c space group.

There retain outer-protonated and inner-protonated carboxyl oxygen atoms in the [Gd ₂ ^III (H₂Ttha)₂]^2? complex anion. In II, there are only one type of methylamine cation (MnH⁺) as the counter ion, which connects [Gd ₂ ^III (H₂Ttha)₂]^2? complex anions and lattice water molecules through hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of 2D ladder-like layer structure.     

A structural and Mössbauer study of complexes with Fe(2)(micro-O(H))(2) cores: stepwise oxidation from Fe(II)(micro-OH)(2)Fe(II) through Fe(II)(micro-OH)(2)Fe(III) to Fe(III)(micro-O)(micro-OH)Fe(III)

Dinuclear non-heme iron clusters containing oxo, hydroxo, or carboxylato bridges are found in a number of enzymes involved in O(2) metabolism such as methane monooxygenase, ribonucleotide reductase, and fatty acid desaturases. Efforts to model structural and/or functional features of the protein-bound clusters have prompted the preparation and study of complexes that contain Fe(micro-O(H))(2)Fe cores. Here we report the structures and spectroscopic properties of a family of diiron complexes with the same tetradentate N4 ligand in one ligand topology, namely [(alpha-BPMCN)(2)Fe(II)(2)(micro-OH)(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(2) (1), [(alpha-BPMCN)(2)Fe(II)Fe(III)(micro-OH)(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(3) (2), and [(alpha-BPMCN)(2)Fe(III)(2)(micro-O)(micro-OH)](CF(3)SO(3))(3) (3) (BPMCN = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane). Stepwise one-electron oxidations of 1 to 2 and then to 3 demonstrate the versatility of the Fe(micro-O(H))(2)Fe diamond core to support a number of oxidation states with little structural rearrangement. Insight into the electronic structure of 1, 2', and 3 has been obtained from a detailed M?ssbauer investigation (2' differs from 2 in having a different complement of counterions). Mixed-valence complex 2' is ferromagnetically coupled, with J = -15 +/- 5 cm(-)(1) (H = JS(1).S(2)). For the S = (9)/(2) ground multiplet we have determined the zero-field splitting parameter, D(9/2) = -1.5 +/- 0.1 cm(-)(1), and the hyperfine parameters of the ferric and ferrous sites. For T < 12 K, the S = (9)/(2) multiplet has uncommon relaxation behavior. Thus, M(S) = -(9)/(2) <--> M(S) = +(9)/(2) ground state transition is slow while deltaM(S) = +/-1 transitions between equally signed M(S) levels are fast on the time scale of M?ssbauer spectroscopy. Below 100 K, complex 2' is trapped in the Fe(1)(III)Fe(2)(II) ground state; above this temperature, it exhibits thermally assisted electron hopping into the state Fe(1)(II)Fe(2)(III). The temperature dependence of the isomer shifts was corrected for second-order Doppler shift, obtained from the study of diferrous 1. The resultant true shifts were analyzed in a two-state hopping model. The diferric complex 3 is antiferromagnetically coupled with J = 90 +/- 15 cm(-)(1), estimated from a variable-temperature M?ssbauer analysis.

A new binuclear germanium(IV) and copper(II) complex with 1,3-diamino-2-propanoltetraacetic acid: Crystal and molecular structure of [(H2O)(OH)Ge(μ-Hpdta)Cu(H2O)] · 3H2O

A heteronuclear germanium(IV) and copper(II) complex with 1,3-diamino-2-propanoltetraacetic acid (H₅Hpdta) has been synthesized for the first time. The compound has been characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, and IR spectroscopy. The structure of the complex [(H₂O)(OH)Ge(μ-Hpdta)Cu(H₂O)] · 3H₂O (I) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals of I are monoclinic, a = 1 5.327(4) Å, b = 11.626(3) Å, c =21.058(3) Å, β = 96.35(2)°, V = 3729.2(2) ų, Z = 8, space group C2/c, R1 = 0.0551 on 3090 reflections with I > 2σ(I). The structural units of the crystal of I are binuclear complex molecules [(H₂O)(OH)Ge(μ-Hpdta)Cu(H₂O)] and crystal water molecules. The germanium and copper atoms are linked by the bridging oxygen atom of the deprotonated isopropanol group of the Hpdta^5? ligand (Ge-O, 1.843(3) Å; Cu-O, 2.221(3) Å). The coordination spheres of the Ge and Cu atoms contain each one nitrogen atom (Ge-N, 2.090(4) Å; Cu-N, 2.000(4) Å) and two carboxyl oxygen atoms from four acetate arms of the heptadentate Hpdta^5? ligand (av. Ge-O, 1.909(3) Å; Cu-O, 1.948(3) Å). The coordination polyhedron of the Ge atom is completed to a distorted octahedron by the oxygen atoms of the terminal hydroxy group (Ge-O, 1.786(3) Å) and a water molecule (Ge-O, 1.904(3)Å). The coordination polyhedron of the copper atom is completed to a prolate tetragonal pyramid (4 + 1) by the oxygen atom of a water molecule in the equatorial position (Cu-O, 1.955(4) Å) and the bridging O(11) atom (Hpdta^5?) in the apical position. Binuclear molecules are linked pairwise in a head-to-head manner via double Cu-O(2) bridges to form the centrosymmetric tetranuclear supramolecule {[(H₂O)(OH)Ge(μ-Hpdta)Cu(H₂O)]}₂. The coordination of the Cu atom is completed by the weak Cu-O(2A) contact (3.303 Å) to an asymmetrically elongated tetragonal bipyramid (4 + 1 +1). In the crystal, the complex molecules and crystal water molecules are combined by a system of hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional framework.

The crystal and molecular structures of the K[Eu^III(Edta)(H₂O)₃] 3.5H₂O (I) (H₄Edta = ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and K₄[Eu₂^III(HTtha)₂] 13.5H₂O (II) (H₆Ttha = triethylenetetraminehexaacetic acid) complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The crystal of I belongs to orthorhombic crystal system and Fdd2 space group. The crystal data are as follows: a = 1.9849(6)nm, b = 3.5598(11)nm, c = 1.2222(4)nm, V = 8.636(5)nm³, Z = 16, M = 596.37, (calcd) = 1.835g/cm³, µ= 3.166mm^–1, and F (000) = 4752. The final R and wR values are 0.0269 and 0.0692 for 2936 (I > 2.0 (I)) reflections and 0.0317 and 0.0708 for all 7284 unique reflections, respectively. The [Eu^III(Edta)(H₂O)₃]^– complex anion has a nine-coordination pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic structure in which the nine coordinated atom are two N and seven O atoms (four from one Edta ligand and three water molecules). The crystal of II belongs to monoclinic system and P2¹/n space group. The crystal data are as follows: a = 1.1337(3)nm, b = 2.5753(6)nm, c = 2.2138(6) nm, = 102.871(5)°, V = 6.301(3) nm³, Z = 4, M = 1682.33, (calcd) = 1.773g/cm³, = 2.339mm^–1, and F(000) = 3404. The final R and wR are 0.0514 and 0.0906 for 11144 (I> 2.0(I)) reflections and 0.0976 and 0.1068 for all 26 048 unique reflections, respectively. The whole complex molecule is composed of two close parts in which every one has a nine-coordination structure as a distorted monocapped square antiprism. The Ttha ligand in the [Eu ₂^III(HTtha)₂]^4– complex anion coordinates to one central Eu ³⁺ ion with three N atoms and four O atoms and to the other Eu³⁺ ion with two O atoms.From Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 30, No. 12, 2004, pp. 901–909.Original English Text Copyright © 2004 by J.
