Self-assembling dicopper(II) complexes of di-2-pyridyl ketone Schiff base ligands derived from S-alkyldithiocarbazates

Condensation of di-2-pyridyl ketone with S-methyldithiocarbazate or S-benzyldithiocarbazate yields potentially bridging ligands of the form Py₂CNNHC(S)SR; Hdpksme (R = Me; the di-2-pyridyl ketone Schiff base of S-methyldithiocarbazate) and Hdpksbz (R = Bz; the di-2-pyridyl ketone Schiff base of S-benzyldithiocarbazate). Complexation of these ligands with Cu(II) in a 1:1 M ratio leads to the formation of dinuclear complexes of the general formula [Cu(NNNS)X]₂ (X = Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, H₂O). X-ray crystallographic structure determinations show that each ligand provides three donor atoms (NNS) in a meridional configuration to one metal, viz. one of the pyridine nitrogen atoms, the azomethine nitrogen atom and the thiolate sulfur, while the nitrogen atom of the second pyridyl group forms a bridge to another copper(II) ion within the dimer. The coordination geometry around each copper(II) ion is approximately square pyramidal, the basal plane of which is composed of one of the pyridine nitrogen atoms, the azomethine nitrogen atom and a chlorido, nitrato or aqua ligand. The apical position of the square pyramid is always occupied by the pyridine nitrogen atom of the second ligand.     

Triangular Ni2Ln and Ni2Y complexes derived from di-2-pyridyl ketone: Synthesis, structures and magnetic properties

The synthetic investigation of the Ni^II/M(NO₃)₃·6H₂O/di-2-pyridyl ketone [(py)₂CO] tertiary reaction system in EtOH has yielded triangular Ni₂M cationic complexes (M = lanthanide, Y). The reaction between Ln(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, Ni(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O, (py)₂CO and base (1:3:3:3) in EtOH under gentle heating gave the isostructural complexes [Ni₂Ln{(py)₂C(OEt)(O)}₃{(py)₂C(OH)(O)}(NO₃)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ (Ln = Gd, 2; Ln = Tb, 3) in high yields. The ligands (py)₂C(OEt)(O)⁻ and (py)₂C(OH)(O)⁻ are the monoanions of the hemiketal and gem-diol derivatives of (py)₂CO, respectively, formed in situ in the presence of the metal ions. The cations of 2 and 3 consist of one 8-coordinate Ln^III and two distorted octahedral Ni^II atoms in an essentially isosceles, triangular arrangement capped by a central μ₃-Ο⁻ atom of the unique 3.3011 (Harris notation) (py)₂C(OH)(O)⁻ ligand. Each metal-metal edge is bridged by the deprotonated O atom of one 2.2011 (py)₂C(OEt)(O)⁻ ligand. The isostructural complexes [Ni₂M{(py)₂C(OEt)(O)}₄(NO₃)(H₂O)]₂[M(NO₃)₅](ClO₄)₂ (M = Y, 4 ; M = Tb, 5 ; M = Dy, 6) were prepared by the 1:1 reaction of the mononuclear “metalloligand” [Ni(O₂CMe){(py)₂CO}{(py)₂C(OH)₂}](ClO₄) (1) and M(NO₃)₃·6H₂O in EtOH under mild heating in moderate to good yields. The structures of the dications of 4-6 are similar to those in 2 and 3, the only difference being the replacement of the unique 3.3011 (py)₂C(OH)(O)⁻ ligand of the latter by one 3.3011 (py)₂C(OEt)(O)⁻ group in the former. The Y^III, Tb^III and Dy^III atoms in [M(NO₃)₅]²⁻ are coordinated by five bidentate chelating nitrato groups. Characteristic IR bands of the complexes are discussed in terms of the known structures and the coordination modes of the ligands. Variable temperature, solid-state direct current magnetic susceptibility and magnetization studies were carried out on dried samples of 2-4. The data indicate ferromagnetic Ni?Ni and Ni?Gd exchange interactions, and an S_T = 11/2 ground state for 2. Complex 3 is characterized by a high-spin ground state while the ferromagnetic Ni?Ni interaction for 2 is independently supported by the study of 4. No out-of-phase, alternating current susceptibility signals have been detected for 3 that would be indicative of SMM behavior.     

The search for cobalt single-molecule magnets: A disk-like CoCo6 cluster with a ligand derived from a novel transformation of 2-acetylpyridine

The initial employment of 2-acetylpyridine, (py)(Me)CO, in Co cluster chemistry is reported, and the synthesis, crystal structure, and full magnetic study of [Co₇(OH)₆(L)₆](ClO₄)₃·1.6H₂O (1·1.6H₂O) are described; L⁻ is the anion of 2-(pyridine-2-yl)pentane-2-ol-4-one, (py)(Me)C(CH₂COCH₃)(O)⁻, formed in situ through a crossed-aldol reaction in acetone under strongly basic conditions. The reaction of Co(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O, (py)(Me)CO and NBuⁿ₄OMe (1:1:1.2) in acetone at room temperature under aerobic conditions affords 1·1.6H₂O in 35% yield. The mixed-valent cation possesses a wheel-shaped (or disk-like) structural motif comprising a central octahedral Co^III atom linked to six peripheral distorted octahedral Co^II atoms by six μ₃-ΟΗ⁻ groups; the six Co^II atoms on the rim are held together by six η¹:η¹:η¹:μ₂·L⁻ ligands and the oxygen atoms of the hydroxo groups. Variable-temperature, solid-state dc and ac magnetic susceptibility studies were carried out on 1. The dc magnetic study of 1 shows a decline in the product χ_ΜT with decreasing T. The observation of out-of phase (χ″_Μ) ac susceptibility signals below ∼4 K suggests that the Co^IIICo^II₆ complex may be a single molecule magnet, and this was confirmed by single-crystal magnetization vs. dc field sweeps down to 0.04 K that exhibited hysteresis. The study reveals that each complex cation is a weak single-molecule magnet, but that there are also intermolecular interactions (also confirmed crystallographically) to create a 3D ordered lattice; this still gives some hysteresis at 5 K.     

Zinc(II) complexes derived from di-2-pyridyl ketone N-phenyl-3-semicarbazone: Crystal structures and spectral studies

Six zinc(II) complexes, Zn(HL)Br₂ (1), Zn(HL)Cl₂ (2), ZnL(OAc) (3), ZnLN₃ (4), ZnL₂ (5) and ZnL₂ · H₂O (6), have been synthesized and characterized by different physicochemical techniques. Complex 1 is five coordinated and has a distorted square pyramidal geometry. Complexes 5 and 6 are six coordinated and have distorted octahedral geometries. In complexes 1 and 2, the ligand moieties are coordinated in the neutral form (HL), and in the other complexes they are monoanionic (L⁻).     

Structural and spectral investigations on some new Ni(II) complexes of di-2-pyridyl ketone N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone

Ni(II) complexes (1–5) of di-2-pyridyl ketone N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone (HL) have been synthesized and spectrochemically characterized. Elemental analyses revealed a NiL₂ · 2H₂O stoichiometry for compound 1. However, the single crystals isolated revealed a composition NiL₂ · 0.5(H₂O)0.5(DMF). The compound crystallizes into a monoclinic lattice with the space group P2₁/n. Complexes 2, 3 and 4 are observed to show a 1:1:1 ratio of metal:thiosemicarbazone:gegenion, with the general formula NiLX · yH₂O [X = NCS, y = 2 for 2; X = Cl, y = 3 for 3 and X = N₃, y = 4.5 for 4]. Compound 5 is a dimer with a metal:thiosemicarbazone:gegenion ratio of 2:2:1, with the formula [Ni₂L₂(SO₄)] · 4H₂O.     

Mononuclear versus dinuclear complex formation in nickel(II) sulfate/phenyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oxime chemistry depending on the ligand to metal reaction ratio: synthetic, spectral and structural studies

The reactions of phenyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oxime (py)C(ph)NOH, with nickel(II) sulfate hexahydrate under reflux, in the absence of an external base, have been investigated. The reaction of NiSO(4).6H(2)O with two equivalents of (py)C(ph)NOH in H(2)O/MeOH leads to the dinuclear complex [Ni(2)(SO(4))(2){(py)C(ph)NOH}(4)] (1), while an excess of the organic ligand affords the 1:3 cationic complex [Ni{(py)C(ph)NOH}(3)](SO(4)) (2). Compound 1 is transformed into 2 by a reaction with an excess of ligand in refluxing H(2)O/MeOH. Reactions of 1 and 2 with a limited amount of LiOH give the known cluster [Ni(6)(SO(4))(4)(OH){(py)C(ph)NO}(3){(py)C(ph)NOH}(3)(H(2)O)(3)]. The structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. In both complexes the organic ligand chelates through its 2-pyridyl and oxime nitrogen atoms. The metal centers of 1 are bridged by two eta(1):eta(1):mu sulfato ligands; each metal ion has the cis-cis-trans deposition of the coordinated sulfato oxygen, pyridyl nitrogen and oxime nitrogen atoms, respectively. The cation of 2 is the fac isomer considering the positions of the coordinated pyridyl and oxime nitrogen atoms. The crystal structures of both complexes are stabilized by hydrogen bonds. Compounds 1 and 2 join a small family of structurally characterized metal complexes containing the neutral or anionic forms of phenyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oxime as ligands. The IR spectra of the two complexes are discussed in terms of the nature of bonding and their structures. From the vibrational spectroscopy viewpoint, the SO(4)(2-) groups in 1 and 2 appear to have lower symmetries compared with those deduced from X-ray crystallography; this is attributed to the participation of sulfates in hydrogen bonding interactions.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of cadmium(II) complexes derived from di-2-pyridyl ketone and N-phenylsemicarbazide: First structural report of a cadmium(II) complex of semicarbazone

A new semicarbazone (HL) based on di-2-pyridyl ketone and its three cadmium(II) complexes [CdL(CH₃COO)]₂ · 2CH₃OH (1), Cd(HL)Br₂ (2) and [Cd₂L₂N₃]₂ · H₂O (3) were synthesized and characterized by different physicochemical techniques. The complex, [CdL(CH₃COO)]₂ · 2CH₃OH (1) is having a dimeric structure. In complexes 1 and 3, the ligand moieties are coordinated as monoanionic (L⁻) forms and in complex 2, the ligand is coordinated as neutral (HL) one. The coordination geometry around cadmium(II) in 1 is distorted octahedral, as obtained by X-ray diffraction studies.     

PEG350-based di-(2-pyridyl)methylamine as a ligand in the Pd-catalyzed water Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of aryl chlorides

The synthesis of new hydrosoluble PEG-based ligand derived from di-(2-pyridyl)methylamine has been developed. The catalytic performance of this ligand is demonstrated in Suzuki-Miyaura reactions between aryl chlorides and arylboronic acids and using water as solvent.     

Triangular Ni(II) complexes from the use of 2-pyridyl oximes

The reactions of representative 2-pyridyl oximes with Ni^II salts in the presence of a base have been investigated. The synthetic study has led to the new triangular complexes [Νi₃(ppko)₆]·2H₂O·0.5EtOH·MeOH (1·2H₂O·0.5EtOH·MeOH), [Νi₃(mpko)₃(HCO₂)₂(mpkoH)₂](ClO₄) (2) and [Νi₃(ppko)₃(HCO₂)₂(ppkoH)₂](ClO₄) (3), where ppko⁻ is the anion of phenyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oxime and mpko⁻ is the anion of methyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oxime. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The ppko⁻ ligand in 1 adopts four different coordination modes including the unique N_pyridylO_oximate chelating one which gives rise to a 6-membered chelating ring, while the neutral and the deprotonated oxime ligands in 2 adopt three different coordination modes. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 have been studied by variable-temperature dc magnetic susceptibility techniques which indicate antiferromagnetic interactions.     

The first non-acetato members of the bis(anion)octacarboxylatotetrakis{di-2-pyridyl-methanediolate(−2)}enneametal(II) family of complexes: Synthesis, X-ray structures and magnetism of [M9(N3)2(O2CCMe3)8{(py)2CO2}4] (M = Co, Ni)

The combined use of di-2-pyridyl ketone [(py)₂CO] and azides (N₃⁻) in nickel(II) and cobalt(II) pivalate chemistry has afforded complexes [Ni₉(N₃)₂(O₂CCMe₃)₈{(py)₂CO₂}₄] (1) and [Co₉(N₃)₂(O₂CCMe₃)₈{(py)₂CO₂}₄] (2), where (py)₂CO₂²⁻ is the gem-diolate(−2) form of (py)₂CO. The complexes are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic P2₁/c space group. Their molecular structures consist of nine metal(II) ions, eight of which are arranged as two parallel squares flanking the ninth. DC magnetic susceptometry on powdered samples of 1 (1-p) reveal an overall antiferromagnetic behavior, leading to an S = 0 ground state. AC susceptometry reveals out-of-phase signals between 10 and 27 K, and ZFC and FC experiments show a divergence of the two curves below ∼27 K. Magnetization-decay and field-sweep experiments verify the relaxation behavior of the sample. Samples of the complex arising from carefully washed single crystals (1-cr) reveal a similar DC behavior, without however the appearance of cusps in the χ_ΜΤ versus T curves, and no relaxation. The relaxation behavior has been assigned to NiO impurities. The results illustrate the extreme care that should be taken when examining the magnetic properties of apparently analytically pure materials obtained under heating. Complex 2 exhibits an overall antiferromagnetic behavior, without observation of any relaxation phenomena.     

Synthesis,characterization and magnetic properties of mixed-valence iron complexes with 2-pyridyl oximes

Abstract

Two new mixed-valence iron complexes with 2-pyridyl oximes, [Fe(mpko)₃Fe(H₂O)₂(NO₃)](NO₃)·2H₂O (1) (mpko^? = methyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oximate) and [{Fe(dpko)₃}₂Fe](ClO₄)·4H₂O (2) (dpko^? = bis(2-pyridyl)ketone oximate), have been prepared by reaction of Fe^III with mpkoH in methanol (1) and Fe^II with dpkoH in methanol/water (2). Dinuclear Fe^II(low-spin)Fe^III(high-spin) and trinuclear Fe^II(low-spin)Fe^III(high-spin)Fe^II(low-spin) cations are present in the crystal structure of 1 and 2, respectively. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds in 1 lead to weak antiferromagnetic interactions between pairs of neighboring Fe^III centers, which allows observation of single-ion zero-field splitting effects.     

A mononuclear complex and a cubane cluster from the initial use of 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine in nickel(II) carboxylate chemistry

The reactions of 2-(hydromethyl)pyridine, hmpH, with Ni(O₂CMe)₂·4H₂O in H₂O, in the absence of counterions, have been investigated. The synthetic study has led to the two new complexes [Ni(O₂CMe)₂(hmpH)₂] (1) and [Ni₄(O₂CMe)₄(hmp)₄(H₂O)₂] (2). Complex 1 can also be transformed into 2 by reacting with an excess of NaOH in H₂O. The structures of 1 and 2·2.25H₂O·0.5(1,4-dioxane) have been solved by single-crystal, X-ray crystallography. The octahedral Ni^II center in centrosymmetric 1 is coordinated by two 1.10 (Harris notation) MeCO₂⁻ groups and two N,O-chelating (1.11) hpmH ligands. The tetranuclear cluster molecule of 2·2.25H₂O·0.5(1,4-dioxane) possesses a distorted cubane {Ni₄(μ₃-OR′)₄}⁴⁺ core [R′ = (2-pyridyl)CH₂–] with the Ni^II ions and the oxygen atoms from the 3.31 hmp⁻ ligands occupying alternate vertices of the cube. Two 2.11 MeCO₂⁻ groups cap two opposite faces of the cube, while two 1.10 MeCO₂⁻ ions and two aqua ligands complete the octahedral coordination sphere of the metal centers. Characteristic IR bands for the two complexes are discussed in terms of the nature of bonding and the structures of the two complexes. The variable-temperature magnetic properties of 2 have been modeled with two J values, and reveal antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the four Ni^II ions to give a diamagnetic ground state.

A concise Pd catalyzed cross coupling reaction along with deprotection for the synthesis of a new series of pyrimidine derivatives

A new series of 2-amino, 4-azepanone, 5-aryl substituted derivatives of pyrimidine compounds were synthesized for the first time from the commercially available 2-amino-4-hydroxypyrimidine. The key step in the reaction is a conceptually new single step palladium catalyzed cross coupling along with the deprotection of N,N-diisopropylformimidamide using bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride (PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂).     

Synthesis of new Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes with a bis-amide ligand functionalized with pyridine moieties: Spectral, magnetic and electrochemical studies

Three new copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt (II) dinuclear complexes with a bis-amide ligand derived from tartaric acid have been prepared and characterized. For this purpose, the ligand (R,R)-(+)-di-N,N′-methylpyridino-tartramide (dmpt) was synthesized via the classical aminolysis of (R,R)-(+)-dimethyltartrate with pyridylmethylamine. The molecular structures of the complexes Na[Cu₂(dmptH₋₃)(CO₃)] · 8H₂O (1) and [Ni₂(dmptH₋₂)₂] · 9.75H₂O (2) were elucidated by X-ray diffraction, and the complex [Co₂(dmptH₋₃)(μ-OH)] · NaClO₄ · 5H₂O (3) by XAS. The crystal structure of (1) shows that the two metallic centres are in a square planar environment. Each copper(II) is bound to pyridyl and deprotonated amidic nitrogen atoms and to the oxygen atoms of hydroxyl and carbonato groups. In complex (2), both nickel atoms are in a distorted octahedral environment with an identical set of donors atoms, N₄O₂, coming from four nitrogen atoms of two pyridylmethylamido moieties and two oxygen donor atoms of alcohol groups. XAS analysis of complex (3) allows us to propose a CoN₂O₄ chromophore, with two nitrogen atoms coming from pyridyl and amidic groups and two bridged oxygen atoms from a deprotonated alcohol group and an hydroxyl group; the hexacoordination is achieved by two water molecules. The spectroscopic, electrochemical and magnetic properties of these complexes were investigated.
