Metal-betaine interactions. Part 17: A study of intradimer Cu · · · Cu distance variation in copper(II) betaine complexes containing [Cu2 (carboxylato-O,O′)4L2]n+ species

Four copper(II) complexes of betaines, [Cu₂(BET)₄Cl₂][Cu(BET)₂Cl₂]Cl₂ (2), [Cu₂(pyBET)₄Cl₂]₃[CuCl₄]₂Cl₂ (3), [Cu, (pyBET)₄ (H₂O)₂] (NO₃)₄ · 2H₂O (4), and [Cu₂(ppBET)₄(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₄ · 4H₂O (5), (BET = Me₃N⁺CH₂COO^–; pyBET = C₅H₅N⁺CH₂COO^–; ppBET=C₅H₅N⁺CH₂CH₂COO^–), have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. These complexes all contain dimeric [Cu₂ (carboxylato-O,O)₄L₂] structures [basal Cu-O=1.955(4) 1.991(2), Cu Cu=2.602(1) 2.759(1) Å] with the apical ligand L=Cl^– in (2) and (3) [Cu-Cl=2.415(1) 2.436(3) Å] and L = H₂O in (4) and (5) [Cu-OH₂=2.158(4) 2.192(3) Å]; also present are a discrete [Cu(BET)₂Cl₂] molecule with a compressed tetrahedral CuO₂Cl₂ chromophore involving two unidentate carboxylate ligands [Cu-O=1.916(2), Cu-Cl=2.254(1) Å] in (2), and a discrete C_3v [CuCl₄]^2– anion in (3). Generally the intradimer Cu Cu distance may be correlated to the electronic repulsion of the metal-ligand bonds in the CuO₄L chromophore, as well as the steric interaction between the carboxylate moieties and the apical ligand.

In addition (6)–(10) were analysed by e.p.r. The X-ray diffraction structure of compound (4) was obtained. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, C2/c (a = 22.511(7), b = 6.735(6) and c= 15.345(5)Å, =115.31(3)°, Z = 4, final R = 0.0360 and R _w = 0.0388 for 1167 observed independent reflections). The nickel(II) atom coordinates two ligands in a square-planar geometry through the imidazolic N(3) and the guanidino N(12).The probable ligand isomers involved in the coordination were determined by theoretical calculations, and the possible structures of the coordination compounds were investigated in order to verify that the experimentally proposed structures were stable. Two different types of coordination compounds were found. One, where the ligand is chelating through the imidazolic N(3) and the guanidino N(12), which is the case for most of the complexes [(2)–(13)]. With only one ligand in the coordination sphere, the structure was either tetrahedral (copper and zinc chloride and bromide complexes) or octahedral (cobalt). With two chelating 2GB units a square-planar geometry was stabilized [(2)–(5) and (8)–(10)]. The second type of coordination behaviour was observed in the cobalt compounds [(14)–(16)]. Here the ligand coordinates monodentate through the imidazolic N(3); the structure is tetrahedral.

Gamma-ray induced decomposition of some divalent nitrates, viz. Mg(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, Ca(NO₃)₂·4H₂O, Sr(NO₃)₂, Ba(NO₃)₂, Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, Cd(NO₃)₂·4H₂O, Hg(NO₃)₂·2H₂O, Mn(NO₃)₂·4H₂O, Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O and trivalent nitrates, viz. Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O, Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O, Cr(NO₃)₃·9H₂O, Y(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, In(NO₃)₃·3H₂O, La(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, Ce(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, Pr(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O has been studied in solid state at room temperature. G(NO ₂ ^– ) values (after applying appropriate dose correction) have been found to vary in the range 0.12–3.16 and 0.069–2.15 for divalent and trivalent nitrates respectively. G'-values were calculated by dividing G by the ratio of number of electrons in nitrate ion to the total number of electrons in the nitrate salt. Cation size, its polarizing power, available free space in the crystal lattice and the number and location of water molecules seem to play a dominant role in radiolytic decomposition. For Zn, Sr, In, La and Ce nitrates dose variation studies have been carried out.

The general thermochemical reaction LnCl₃·6H₂O(c)+3Hthd(1)+73.92H₂O(1) = Ln(thd)₃(c) +3HCl·26.64H₂O(aq); rHm (Ln = Pr, Ho and thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate) was employed to determine through solution-reaction calorimetry at 298.15 K the standard molar enthalpies of formation of crystalline chelates, –2434.3±11.5 (Pr) and –2384.8±11.5 (Ho) kJ mol^–1. These values and the corresponding molar enthalpies of sublimation enabled the determination of the standard molar enthalpies of chelates in the gaseous phase.

Phosphorus-supported multidentate coumarin-containing fluorescence sensors for Cu

Phosphorus hydrazides PhP(O)[N(Me)NH₂]₂, (S)P[N(Me)NH₂]₃, and N₃P₃[N(Me)NH₂]₆ were condensed with 7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-aldehyde (RCHO) to afford the corresponding hydrazones PhP(O)[N(Me)NCHR]₂ (1), (S)P[N(Me)NCHR]₃ (2), and N₃P₃[N(Me)NCHR]₆ (3). The structural characterization of 1-3 was carried out by their HRMS, ¹H and ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectra. The molecular structure of 2 was established by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. Interaction of 1 and 2 with various transition metal ions revealed substantial fluorescence enhancement upon interaction with Cu²⁺ enabling a selective detection mechanism for this metal ion. However, such a fluorescence enhancement was not observed in the case of 3. A 1:1 complex [2·Zn][ClO₄]₂·4CH₂Cl₂ was isolated in the reaction of 2 with Zn(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O. The molecular structure of this complex revealed that the Zn^II is encapsulated by the ligand utilizing a 3N, 3O coordination set.     

Preparation of ultrafine metal particles in processes of pulse mechanical action

Ultrafine metal particles (UFMP) (iron and cobalt) have been obtained in solid-state redox reactions of cyclopentadienyl--(3)-1,2-dicarbollyliron or cyclopentadienyl--(3)-1,2-dicarbollylcobalt with elemental sulfur ((C₅H₅)Fe³⁺(C₂B₉H₁₁)-S, (C₅H₅)Co⁵⁺C₂B₉H₁₁-S). These reactions are realized by the action of elastic wave (EW) pulses on powder compositions of these substances. Study of the UFMP obtained by the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) method has shown that the sizes ofn · Co⁰ UFP lie in the range from 1 to 13 nm. UFP of cobalt and iron are also formed under the action of EW on samples containing (C₅H₅)Fe³⁺(C₂B₉H₁₁)-S or (C₅H₅)Co³⁺(C₂B₉H₁₁)-S within the film of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoro-4-methyl-3,6-dioxaoct-7-ene-1-sulfonyl fluoride copolymer (CP). It is shown by the FMR method that FMR lines broaden on going from powder systems to systems containing CP films. It is supposed thatn · Co⁰ and n · Fe⁰ particles interact with polymeric matrices in the course of formation and stabilization of UFMP in the matrices.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Intercalation of monomers into alpha tin(IV) hydrogen phosphate

Monomers which contain unsaturated linkages and amine groups have been intercalated to form either mono- or bi-layers. The monomertrans-N,N-diethyl-2-butene-1,4-diamine (NNBD) has been intercalated into -tin(IV) hydrogen phosphate. The guest molecule, NNBD, forms a monolayer (d ₀₀₁ = 1.35 nm) in which the amine groups are paired to protons on opposite faces of the phosphate layers. The resultant compound has the formula Sn(C₈H₁₈N₂)_0.73(HPO₄)₂·H₂O indicating that NNBD does not cover a large proportion of the available protons. 4-vinylpyridine slowly forms an intercalate in which the host molecule forms a bilayer (d ₀₀₁ = 1.56 nn). However, with 4-vinylpyridine there is surface modification in preference to intercalation.
