Synthesis and characterization of some methyl complexes of palladium(II). Part 2(1)

Summary Dichloro complexes of Pd^II, [Pd(L–L)Cl₂], where L–L=1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylarsino)ethane (S–As) or 1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ethane (S–P) andtrans-[PdL₂Cl₂], where L=diphenyl(2-phenylethyl)-phosphine (PE), diphenyl(1-naphthyl)phosphine (PN) orN-methyl-2-thiophenealdimine (SN), have been prepared and characterized. The reactions of these complexes with MeLi were investigated. The dimethyl complexes [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) and [Pd(PE)Me₂] were isolated and characterized. Reaction of [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) with HCl affords the monomethyl derivatives [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)]. In contrast to the Pt analogues, [Pd(L–L)Me₂] and [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)] are relatively less stable than [Pt(L–L)Me₂] and [Pt(L–L)Me(Cl)].     

New bis-macrocyclic complexes with transition metal ions

Template condensation of benzidine, formaldehyde, ethylenediamine or 1,3-diaminopropane, metal salt and 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione or 2,3-butanedione in a 1:4:2:2 molar ratio results in the formation of two new series of binuclear pentaaza macrocyclic complexes: dichloro[1,1-phenylbis(7-methyl-9-phenyl-1,3,6,10,13-pentaazacyclotetradeca-6,9-diene) metal(II)], [M₂LCl₄] (M = Co^II, Cu^II, Fe^III and Zn^II) and dichloro[1,1-phenylbis(8,9-dimethyl-1,3,7,10,14-pentaazacyclopentadeca-7,9-diene) metal(II)], [M₂LCl₄] (M = Ni^II, Co^II, Cu^II and Cd^II). Both series were characterized by i.r., ¹H-n.m.r., u.v.–vis. spectral studies, conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements.     

Preparations and properties of vanadium(III) complexes of bidentate and terdentate nitrogen-donor ligands

Summary Vanadium(III) chloride reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2-bipyridyl, and with substituted derivatives of each ligand (B), in ethanol or in acetonitrile as solvent (L), to yield two different series of complexes. These are (a) the neutral species VCl₃BL, where B = 1,10-phenanthroline, 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2-bipyridyl, 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridyl, L = ethanol. The complexes in which B = 1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2-bipyridyl were also obtained with L = acetonitrile, (b) [VCl₂B₂]⁺[VCl₄B]^– where B is the same series of ligands listed above. Vanadium(III) chloride yields VCl₃ (terpy) with 2,2,2 -terpyridyl. All the complexes have been characterised by elemental analyses, conductance measurements, electronic- and i.r. spectral measurements, and by their temperature-range (297–77 K) magnetic moments; ring substituents have little influence on any chemical or physical properties of these complexes.     

Interesting synthetic routes from the reinvestigation of the reaction of the M(CO)6 (M=Cr,Mo and W) species with KOH

Summary Reinvestigation of the reaction of M(CO)₆ (M=Cr, Mo or W) with KOH has been found to provide a very convenient route to the K[M₂H(CO)₁₀] compounds (M=Cr, Mo or W). The reaction involving Cr(CO)₆ yields new potassium derivatives containing [Cr₂(CO)₁₀]^2– and [HCr(CO)₅]^– species; also K[Cr₂D(CO)₁₀] is produced from the Cr(CO)₆/KOD interaction in C₂D₅OD. The reaction involving two different group 6 metal carbonyls yields [MM(CO)₁₀(-H)]^– (MM=CrMo, CrW or WMo) species as their K⁺ and PPN⁺ [bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium] salts.     

Studies on transition-metal nitrido and oxo complexes. Part VII(1). Substituted nitrido complexes of osmium and ruthenium

Summary Addition reactions of [MNCl₄]^– (M = Os or Ru) with ligands L or L to give [MNCl₄ · L]^– or [(MNCl₄)₂L]^2– (L = pyridine, pyridine-N-oxide,iso-quinoline or DMSO; L = hexamethylenetetramine, pyrazine or dioxan) are described. With NCO^–, [OsNCl₅]^– gives [OsN(NCO)₅]^2– but NCS^– gives a thionitrosyl complex, [Os(NS)(NCS)₅]^2–. Reactions of OsNCl₃(AsPh₃)₂ with pyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline and tertiary phosphites and phosphinites have been studied, as have reactions of triphenylphosphine with OsOCl₄ andtrans- [MO₂Cl₄]^2– (M = Os or Ru). The nitrido-iodo complexes [OsNI₄]^– and OsNI₃, (SbPh₃)₂ are also reported.     

Mixed metal complexes in solution. Thermodynamic and spectrophotometric study of copper(II)-citrate heterobinuclear complexes with nickel(II), zinc(II) or cadmium(II) in aqueous solution

Summary A thermodynamic study of Cu^II–M^II-citrate (M^II=Ni^II, Zn^II or Cd^II) ternary systems has been performed by means of potentiometric measurements of hydrogen ion concentration at different temperatures (10, 25, 35 and 45°C) and at I=0.1 mol dm^–3 (KNO₃).The different binary and ternary systems involved have been further characterized by visible spectra and by calculating the spectra ( versus ) of all the Cu^II complexes.The thermodynamic data suggest strong entropic stabilization for the species under discussion. As regards the visible spectral characteristics of Cu^II(d-d transitions), the substitution of one Cu^II ion in the dimer [Cu₂(cit)₂H_–2]^4– by Ni^II or Zn^II to form heterobinuclear [CuM(cit)₂H_–2]^4– complexes, gives rise to a change in the visible spectrum.     

Divalent transition metal ion mixed ligand complexes with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and imidazoles

Summary Mixed ligand metal complexes of Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II with dicarboxylic aliphatic acids, H₂L (succinic, malic and tartaric) as primary ligands and with imidazoles, L (imidazole and 2-methylimidazole) as secondary ligands were prepared and characterized. MLL₂ and ML₄ molecular formulae were suggested for these complexes were Formation constants of the different complexes were determined pH-metrically at T = 25 ± 0.1°C and = 0.1 mol dm^–3 (NaClO₄). The stability of the mixed ligand complexes increased as the effective basicity of the dicarboxylic aliphatic acid anion increased, namely, tartarate < malate < succinate acid.     

Reaction of sulphur dioxide with chlorocarbonyls of ruthenium,rhodium and iridium

Summary The reactions of SO₂ with chlorocarbonyls of rhodium and iridium ([M(CO)₂Cl₂]^– and ruthenium ([Ru(CO)_2–Cl₂]_n) ions were studied. Addition of either the Ph₄As⁺ cation or the nitrogen-donor ligands 2,2-bipyridine (bipy),o-phenylenediamine (opd), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,2,6,2-terpyridine (terpy) or 6,7-dihydro-1,4-di(2-pyridyl)-5H-cyclopenta {d}-pyridazine (5-dppn) to the SO_2– treated chlorocarbonyl solutions resulted in the formation of various complexes according to the nature of metal and ligand. The products have been characterized by physicochemical methods.

Synthesis and characterization of new 13 and 14-membered macrocycles and their transition metal complexes

Two new macrocyclic ligands 1,4,7,9,12-pentaaza-10,11-dioxo-8,9,12,13-bis-(1-oxo-3-thio-2-hydropyrimidine)-trideca-7,13-diene, (L¹) and 1,4,7,9,12-pentaaza-10,12-dioxo-8,9,13,14-bis-(1-oxo-3-thio-2-hydropyrimidine)-tetradeca-7,14-diene, (L²) and their complexes with Cr^III, Mn^II, Fe^III, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II have been synthesized, and characterized by elemental analysis, i.r., ¹H-n.m.r., e.p.r., u.v.–vis. spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility and conductance measurements. The conductivity measurements suggest that the complexes of divalent metal ions are 1:1 electrolytes whereas the trivalent metal ions are non-electrolytes. On the basis of electronic spectra and magnetic moment measurements the Cr^III and Fe^III complexes are octahedral, while the divalent metal complexes are tetrahedral except for the Ni^II and Cu^II complexes which are proposed to have square planar geometry. All the ligands and their complexes have been screened against gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative bacteria E. coli. The results show that they inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Kinetics of the displacement of aqua ligands from cis-diaqua(ethylenediamine)-platinum(II)perchlorate by adenosine 5′-monophosphate in aqueous medium

The kinetics of the interaction of adenosine 5-monophosphate (5-AMP) with cis-[Pt(en)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ have been studied spectrophotometrically as a function of [Pt(en)(H₂O)₂]²⁺, [5-AMP] and temperature at pH 4.0, where the substrate complex exists predominantly as the diaqua species. Both N1 and N7 donor sites of 5-AMP are active for coordination to Pt at this pH. Base stacking and metal-induced macrochelate formation of 5-AMP plays a vital role in determining the concentration limit of 5-AMP during kinetics. Substitution occurs in two consecutive steps; both dependent on the 5-AMP concentration. Activation parameters for both steps have been calculated. The low H ₁ (42.76 ± 1.64 kJ mol^–1) and large negative values of S ₁ (–112.1 ± 5.1 J K^–1 mol^–1) as well as H ₂ (58.1 ± 1.4 kJ mol^–1) and S ₂ (–84.2 ± 4.4 J K^–1 mol^–1) indicate associative modes of activation for both ligand substitution processes in the two consecutive steps.
