Chlorido(2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18‐octaethylporphyrinato)iron(III): a new triclinic polymorph of Fe(OEP)Cl

The previous structure determination of the title compound, [Fe(C₃₆H₄₄N₄)Cl], was of a monoclinic polymorph [Senge (2005). Acta Cryst. E 61 , m399–m400]. The crystal structure of a new triclinic polymorph has been determined based on single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data collected at 100 K. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of the high‐spin square‐pyramidal iron(III) porphyrinate. The structure exhibits distinct nonstatistical alternative positions for most atoms and was consequently modeled as a whole‐molecule disorder. The compound is characterized by an average Fe—N bond length of 2.065 (2) Å, an Fe—Cl bond length of 2.225 (4) Å, and the iron(III) cation displaced by 0.494 (4) Å from the plane of the 24‐atom porphyrinate core, essentially the same as in the previously determined polymorph. Common features of the porphyrin plane–plane stacking involve two types of synthons, each of which can be further stabilized with additional H...Cl interactions to the axial chloride ligand, exhibiting concerted interactions of H atoms from the ethyl groups with the π‐cloud electron density of adjacent molecules; the shortest methylene H‐atom contacts are in the range 2.75–2.91 Å, resulting in plane–plane separations of 3.407 (4) and 3.416 (4) Å, and the shortest methyl H‐atom contacts are 2.56–2.95 Å, resulting in plane–plane separations of 4.900 (5) and 4.909 (5) Å in the monoclinic polymorph. The plane‐to‐plane stacking synthons in the triclinic polymorph are similar, but at greater distances; the shortest methylene H‐atom contacts are 2.86–2.94 Å, resulting in plane–plane separations of 3.45 (2) and 3.45 (3) Å, and the shortest methyl H‐atom contacts are 2.89–3.20 Å, resulting in plane–plane separations of 5.081 (13) and 5.134 (13) Å, consistent with the density of the triclinic polymorph being 1.5% lower, suggesting lesser packing efficiency and lower stability in the triclinic polymorph. The major molecular differences found in the polymorphs is in three different orientations of the ethyl‐group side chains on the periphery of the porphyrin core.     

Crystallographic characterization of Kr@C60 in (0.09Kr@C60/0.91C60). (NiII(OEP)).2C6H6

A sample of C60 containing ca. 9% Kr@C60 has been used to form crystalline (0.09Kr@C60/0.91C60).(NiII(OEP)).2C6H6 whose X-ray crystal structure reveals that the Kr atom is centered within the carbon cage and does not produce a detectable change in the size of the fullerene.     

Synthesis, structure, electrochemistry, and spectroelectrochemistry of hypervalent phosphorus(V) octaethylporphyrins and theoretical analysis of the nature of the PO bond in P(OEP)(CH(2)CH(3))(O)

A variety of phosphorus(V) octaethylporphyrin derivatives of the type [P(OEP)(X)(Y)](+)Z(-) (OEP: octaethylporphyrin) (X = CH(3), CH(2)CH(3), C(6)H(5), F; Y = CH(3), CH(2)CH(3), OH, OCH(3), OCH(2)CH(3), On-Pr, Oi-Pr, Osec-Bu, NHBu, NEt(2), Cl, F, O(-); Z = ClO(4), PF(6)) were prepared. X-ray crystallographic analysis of eleven compounds reveals that the degree of ruffling of the porphyrin core becomes greater and the average P-N bond distance becomes shorter as the axial ligands become more electronegative. Therefore, the electronic effect of the axial substituents plays a major role in determining the degree of ruffling although the steric effect of the substituents plays some role. A comparison of the (1)H NMR chemical shifts for the series of [P(OEP)(CH(2)CH(3))(Y)](+)Z(-) complexes with those of the corresponding arsenic porphyrins, which possess a planar core, indicates a much smaller ring current effect of the porphyrin core in the severely ruffled phosphorus porphyrins. The electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry and ESR spectroscopy of the singly reduced compounds are also discussed. The OH protons of [P(OEP)(X)(OH)](+) are acidic enough to generate P(OEP)(X)(O) by treatment with aq dilute NaOH. X-ray analysis of P(OEP)(CH(2)CH(3))(O) reveals that the PO bond length is very short (1.475(7) A) and is comparable to that in triphenylphosphine oxide (1.483 A). The features of the quite unique hexacoordinate hypervalent compounds are investigated by density functional calculation of a model (Por)P(CH(2)CH(3))(O) and (Por)P(F)(O) (Por: unsubstituted porphyrin).     

Isolation and Crystallographic Characterization of the Labile Isomer of Y@C82 Cocrystallized with Ni(OEP): Unprecedented Dimerization of Pristine Metallofullerenes

Although the major isomers of M@C₈₂ (namely M@C_2v(9)‐C₈₂, where M is a trivalent rare‐earth metal) have been intensively investigated, the lability of the minor isomers has meant that they have been little studied. Herein, the first isolation and crystallographic characterization of the minor Y@C₈₂ isomer, unambiguously assigned as Y@C_s(6)‐C₈₂ by cocrystallization with Ni(octaethylporphyrin), is reported. Unexpectedly, a regioselective dimerization is observed in the crystalline state of Y@C_s(6)‐C₈₂. In sharp contrast, no dimerization occurs for the major isomer Y@C_2v(9)‐C₈₂ under the same conditions, indicating a cage‐symmetry‐induced dimerization process. Further experimental and theoretical results disclose that the regioselective dimer formation is a consequence of the localization of high spin density on a special cage‐carbon atom of Y@C_s(6)‐C₈₂ which is caused by the steady displacement of the Y atom inside the C_s(6)‐C₈₂ cage.     

Definitive assignment of the g tensor of [Fe(OEP)(NO)] by single-crystal EPR

Single-crystal EPR measurements have been performed on the triclinic form of [Fe(OEP)(NO)] (Ellison, M. K.; Scheidt, W. R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 7404) and on the isomorphous cobalt derivative [Co(OEP)(NO)] (Ellison, M. K.; Scheidt, W. R. Inorg. Chem. 1998, 37, 382) which has been doped with [Fe(OEP)(NO)]. Principal values of the g tensor determined at room temperature are gmax = 2.106, gmid = 2.057, and gmin = 2.015. The principal direction associated with the minimum g value lies 8 degrees from the Fe-N(NO) direction, 2 degrees from the normal to the heme plane, and 42 degrees from the N-O direction. The direction associated with the maximum g value lies 9 degrees from the normal to the Fe-N-O plane. The fact that the direction of gmin is near the Fe-N(NO) direction is consistent with the dominant role of spin-orbit coupling at the iron atom in determining the g tensor and with the picture of the electronic structure of the compound from restricted calculations, which makes the half-filled orbital mostly dz2 on the iron atom. The hyperfine tensor is nearly isotropic and was only resolved in the doped samples. Principal values of the A tensor determined at room temperature are 40.9, 49.7, and 42.7 MHz. Principal values of the g tensor determined from the doped samples at 77 K are gmax = 2.110, gmid = 2.040, and gmin = 2.012. Principal values of the A tensor are 42.5, 52.8, and 44.1 MHz at 77 K. The small change in g values with temperature is in contrast to the large temperature dependence on g values observed in samples of MbNO (Hori et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1981, 256, 7849).     

Syntheses and electronic properties of the nickel and palladium complexes of the octaethylporphyrin(M1)-(dihexylbithiophene)n-octaethylporphyrin(M2) system [OEP(M1)-(DHBTh)n-OEP(M2)] connected with the diacetylene linkage. A methodology for molecular design of the particular electronic structure

The palladium complexes of highly extended π-electronic conjugation system, octaethylporphyrin(Pd)-(dihexylbithiophene)_n-octaethylporphyrin(Pd) [OEP(Pd)-(DHBTh)_n-OEP(Pd), n=1-6], were synthesized, in which all the chromophores are connected with diacetylene linkage. The unsymmetrical derivatives of OEP(Ni)-DHBTh-OEP(Pd) were also successfully synthesized. Electronic properties of these symmetrical and unsymmetrical complexes were conclusively described, as compared with those of OEP(Ni)-(DHBTh)_n-OEP(Ni). Based on the structure elements, a methodical guiding principle for molecular design of the particular electronic structure will be proposed.     

Rhodium-catalyzed dehydrocoupling of the sterically encumbered phosphine-borane adduct tBu(2)PH.BH(3): synthesis of the linear dimers tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(3) and tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(2)Cl

The dehydrocoupling of the sterically hindered phosphine-borane adduct tBu(2)PH.BH(3) above 140 degrees C is catalyzed by the rhodium complexes [Rh(1,5-cod)(2)][OTf] or Rh(6)(CO)(16) to give the four-membered chain tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(3) (1), which was isolated in 60% yield and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Thermolysis of 1 in the temperature range 175-180 degrees C led to partial decomposition and the formation of tBu(2)PH.BH(3). When the dehydrocoupling of tBu(2)PH.BH(3) was performed in the presence of [[Rh(mu-Cl)(1,5-cod)](2)] or RhCl(3) hydrate, the chlorinated compound tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(2)Cl (2) was formed which could not be obtained free of 1. The molecular structures of tBu(2)PH.BH(3), tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(3) (1), and tBu(2)PH-BH(2)-tBu(2)P-BH(2)Cl (2) together with 1 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.

Diverse evolution of [[Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2)]Pt(mu-S)(2)Pt[Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2)]] (n = 2, 3) metalloligands in CH(2)Cl(2)

The nucleophilicity of the [Pt(2)S(2)] core in [[Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2)]Pt(mu-S)(2)Pt[Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2)]] (n = 3, dppp (1); n = 2, dppe (2)) metalloligands toward the CH(2)Cl(2) solvent has been thoroughly studied. Complex 1, which has been obtained and characterized by X-ray diffraction, is structurally related to 2 and consists of dinuclear molecules with a hinged [Pt(2)S(2)] central ring. The reaction of 1 and 2 with CH(2)Cl(2) has been followed by means of (31)P, (1)H, and (13)C NMR, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and X-ray data. Although both reactions proceed at different rates, the first steps are common and lead to a mixture of the corresponding mononuclear complexes [Pt[Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2)](S(2)CH(2))], n = 3 (7), 2 (8), and [Pt[Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2)]Cl(2)], n = 3 (9), 2 (10). Theoretical calculations give support to the proposed pathway for the disintegration process of the [Pt(2)S(2)] ring. Only in the case of 1, the reaction proceeds further yielding [Pt(2)(dppp)(2)[mu-(SCH(2)SCH(2)S)-S,S']]Cl(2) (11). To confirm the sequence of the reactions leading from 1 and 2 to the final products 9 and 11 or 8 and 10, respectively, complexes 7, 8, and 11 have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Additional experiments have allowed elucidation of the reaction mechanism involved from 7 to 11, and thus, the origin of the CH(2) groups that participate in the expansion of the (SCH(2)S)(2-) ligand in 7 to afford the bridging (SCH(2)SCH(2)S)(2-) ligand in 11 has been established. The X-ray structure of 11 is totally unprecedented and consists of a hinged [(dppp)Pt(mu-S)(2)Pt(dppp)] core capped by a CH(2)SCH(2) fragment.     

New layered materials: syntheses, structures, and optical properties of K(2)TiCu(2)S(4), Rb(2)TiCu(2)S(4), Rb(2)TiaAg(2)S(4), Cs(2)TiAg(2)sS(4), and Cs(2)TiCu(2)Se(4)

The new compounds K(2)TiCu(2)S(4), Rb(2)TiCu(2)S(4), Rb(2)TiAg(2)S(4), Cs(2)TiAg(2)S(4), and Cs(2)TiCu(2)Se(4) have been synthesized by the reactions of A(2)Q(3) (A = K, Rb, Cs; Q = S, Se) with Ti, M (M = Cu or Ag), and Q at 823 K. The compounds Rb(2)TiCu(2)S(4), Cs(2)TiAg(2)S(4), and Cs(2)TiCu(2)Se(4) are isostructural. They crystallize with two formula units in space group P4(2)/mcm of the tetragonal system in cells of dimensions a = 5.6046(4) A, c = 13.154(1) A for Rb(2)TiCu(2)S(4), a =6.024(1) A, c = 13.566(4) A for Cs(2)TiAg(2)S(4), and a =5.852(2) A, c =14.234(5) A for Cs(2)TiCu(2)Se(4) at 153 K. Their structure is closely related to that of Cs(2)ZrAg(2)Te(4) and comprises [TiM(2)Q(4)(2)(-)] layers, which are separated by alkali metal atoms. The [TiM(2)Q(4)(2)(-)] layer is anti-fluorite-like with both Ti and M atoms tetrahedrally coordinated to Q atoms. Tetrahedral coordination of Ti(4+) is rare in the solid state. On the basis of unit cell and space group determinations, the compounds K(2)TiCu(2)S(4) and Rb(2)TiAg(2)S(4) are isostructural with the above compounds. The band gaps of K(2)TiCu(2)S(4), Rb(2)TiCu(2)S(4), Rb(2)TiAg(2)S(4), and Cs(2)TiAg(2)S(4) are 2.04, 2.19, 2.33, and 2.44 eV, respectively, as derived from optical measurements. From band-structure calculations, the optical absorption for an A(2)TiM(2)Q(4) compound is assigned to a transition from an M d and Q p valence band (HOMO) to a Ti 3d conduction band.     

Polydentate N(2)S(2)O and N(2)S(2)O(2) Ligands as Alcoholic Derivatives of (N,N'-Bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II) and (N,N'-Bis(2-mercapto-2-methylpropane)-1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II)

The synthesis, structural characterization, spectroscopic, and electrochemical properties of N(2)S(2)-ligated Ni(II) complexes, (N,N'-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II), (bme-daco)Ni(II), and (N,N'-bis(2-mercapto-2-methylpropane)1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II), (bme-daco)Ni(II), derivatized at S with alcohol-containing alkyl functionalities, are described. Reaction of (bme-daco)Ni(II) with 2-iodoethanol afforded isomers, (N,N'-bis(5-hydroxy-3-thiapentyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane-O,N,N',S,S')halonickel(II) iodide (halo = chloro or iodo), 1, and (N,N'-bis(5-hydroxy-3-thiapentyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane-N,N',S,S')nickel(II) iodide, 2, which differ in the utilization of binding sites in a potentially hexadentate N(2)S(2)O(2) ligand. Blue complex 1 contains nickel in an octahedral environment of N(2)S(2)OX donors; X is best modeled as Cl. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 12.580(6) ?, b = 12.291(6) ?, c = 13.090(7) ?, beta = 97.36(4) degrees, and Z = 4. In contrast, red complex 2 binds only the N(2)S(2) donor set forming a square planar nickel complex, leaving both -CH(2)CH(2)OH arms dangling; the iodide ions serve strictly as counterions. 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca2(1) with a = 15.822(2) ?, b = 13.171(2) ?, c = 10.0390(10) ?, and Z = 4. Reaction of (bme-daco)Ni(II) with 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol affords another octahedral Ni species with a N(2)S(2)OBr donor set, ((5-hydroxy-3,7-dithianonadiyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane-O,N,N',S,S')bromonickel(II) bromide, 3. Complex 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca2(1) with a = 15.202(5) ?, b = 7.735(2) ?, c = 15.443(4) ?, and Z = 4. Complex 4.2CH(3)CN was synthesized from the reaction of (bme-daco)Ni(II) with 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c with a = 20.348(5) ?, b = 6.5120(1) ?, c = 20.548(5) ?, and Z = 4.

(2-Chlorobenzyl)tris(2-pyridinethiolato)tin(IV)

In the title compound, (2-chloro­benzyl)­tris­(pyridine-2-thiol­ato)-κ²N,S;κ²N,S;κS-tin(IV), [Sn(C₇H₆Cl)(C₅H₄NS)₃], two of the three pyridine-2-thiol­ato ligands (SPy) are bidentate and one is monodentate. The bonding C atom of the 2-chloro­benzyl group, the S atom of the monodentate SPy and the S and N atoms of the two bidentate SPy ligands form a distorted octahedron around the Sn atom. The three S atoms and the N atom of one of the bidentate SPy ligands occupy the equatorial positions, while the N atom of the second bidentate SPy ligand and the C(CH₂) atom are axial. The axial N—Sn—C angle of 157.9 (1)° demonstrates the heavy distortion of the octahedron.
