The complexes [N₂(L²)₂(H₂O)₄]Cl₄(1) and [Ni(L²)](ClO₄)₂ [sdot]2H₂O (2) (L = 1,3,10,12,16,19-hexaazatetracyclo [17,3,1,1 ^12.16,0^4.9]tetracosane) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structure of 1 has a distorted octahedral geometry with two secondary and two tertiary amines of the macrocycle and two water molecules. In 2, the coordination geometry around the nickel atom is square-planar with four nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle. The equilibrium [Ni(L²)]²⁺ + 2H₂O &rlhar2; [Ni(L²)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ has been studied in aqueous solution over a temperature range, yielding Δ H° = -19.0 ± 0.2 kJ mol^-1 and Δ S° = - 56.0 ± 0.4 JK^-1 mol^-1. Cyclic voltammetry of the complexes give two one-electron waves corresponding to Ni(II)/Ni(III) and Ni(II)/Ni(I) processes. The electronic spectra and redox potentials of the complexes are influenced significantly by the geometry.     

Metal Complexes of Saccharin with the N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylenediamine Ligand: Synthesis,Characterization and Spectroscopic Examination. Crystal Structures of trans- Bis(Saccharinato)Bis{N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-Ethylenediamine} copper(II) and Cadmium(II)

The novel transition metal saccharinato complexes of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylendiamine (HydEt-en) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic moments, UV-Vis and IR spectra. Coordination behaviour of HydEt-en has been studied. The Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) form mononuclear complexes, while the Fe(II) and Co(II) complexes are dimeric. The crystal structures of the [Cu(sac)₂(HydEt-en)₂] and [Cd(sac)₂(HydEt-en)₂] complexes, where sac is the deprotonated form of saccharin, were determined by x-ray diffraction. The metal ions are octahedrally coordinated by these ligands. The amine ligand acts as a bidentate N-donor ligand and its ethanol group is not involved in coordination. The sac ions coordinate through the deprotonated N as a monodentate ligand. The NH and OH groups of the amine ligand are involved in intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding with the carbonyl and sulphonyl oxygens of the sac ions to form a three-dimensional infinite network.

New Palladium(II) Complexes with a Tridentate PNO Ligand

The synthesis of neutral and cationic palladium complexes containing the tridentate monoanionic ligand [2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O]^? is described. Deprotonation of the Schiff base formed by condensation of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde with 2-aminophenol in the presence of the appropriate palladium precursor ([Pd(AcO)₂] or [PdCl₂(PhCN)₂]) form the corresponding neutral complexes [Pd{2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O}(AcO)] (1) or [Pd{2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O}(Cl)] (2) in good yield. The first reacts smoothly with thiols and activated phenols to give complexes of general formula [Pd{2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O}(X)] (X = OC₆F₅ (3), SEt (4), S^tBu (5), SC₆H₅ (6), SC₆H₄-4Me (7), SC₆H₄-4NO₂ (8)). When the chloro complex is treated with silver perchlorate and tertiary phosphines (L) the cationic derivatives [Pd{2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O}(L)][ClO₄] (L = PPh₃ (9), PMePh₂ (10), PMe₂Ph (11), PEt₃ (12)) were obtained. The new complexes were characterized by partial elemental analyses and spectroscopic methods (IR, ¹H, ¹⁹F and ³¹P NMR).

The first 2-pyridylethanol (pyet) complexes of manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) saccharinates, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, UV-Vis, and IR spectroscopic techniques. Crystal and molecular structures of the iron(II) and copper(II) complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray diffractometry. The experimental data showed that all the complexes are mononuclear with a general formula [M(H₂O)₂(pyet)₂](sac)₂, where sac is the saccharinate anion. All the metal ions are octahedrally coordinated by two aqua and two pyet ligands. The pyet ligand acts as a bidentate ligand through its amine nitrogen and hydroxyl oxygen atoms forming a six-membered chelate ring, while the sac ions remain outside the coordination sphere. All the complexes are isomorphous with a monoclinic space group P2₁/n and Z = 2.     

Trinuclear Cobalt(II) and Zinc(II) Salamo‐type Complexes: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Fluorescent Properties

Two trinuclear Co^II and Zn^II complexes, [(CoL)₂(OAc)₂Co] and [(ZnL)₂(OAc)₂Zn], with an asymmetric Salen‐type bisoxime ligand [H₂L = 4‐(N,N‐diethylamine)‐2,2′‐[ethylenediyldioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol] were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV/Vis, and fluorescent spectroscopy. The crystal structures of the Co^II and Zn^II complexes were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction methods. The Co^II atom is pentacoodinated by N₂O₂ donor atoms from the (L)^2– unit and one oxygen atom from the coordinated acetate ion, resulting in a trigonal bipyramid arrangement. With the help of intermolecular hydrogen bonding C–H ··· O and C–H ··· π interactions, a self‐assembled continual zigzag chain‐like supramolecular structure is formed. The Zn^II atom is pentacoodinated by N₂O₂ donor atoms from the (L)^2– unit and one oxygen atom from the coordinated acetate ion, resulting in an almost regular trigonal bipyramid arrangement. A self‐assembled continual 1D supramolecular chain‐like structure is formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding C–H ··· O and C–H ··· π interactions. Additionally, the photophysical properties of the Co^II and Zn^II complexes were discussed.     

Nickel(II), Cadmium(II), and Copper(II) Complexes Based on Ditopic Terpyridine Derivative Ligand: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Luminescent Properties

Three complexes with the ditopic ligand 4′‐[4‐(quinolin‐8‐yloxymethyl)phenyl]‐2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine (abbreviated as L ), [Ni(L)₂](CH₃COO)₂ ( 1 ), [Cd(L)₂](ClO₄)₂ ( 2 ), and [Cu₂(L)₂](ClO₄)₄ · 4DMF ( 3 ), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and structurally analyzed by X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction. Interestingly, in complexes 1 and 2 , two ligands adopt a tridentate chelating pattern where the oxaquinoline group is non‐coordinated and coordinate with one M^II ion (M = Ni for 1 , M = Cd for 2 ) to form a mononuclear unit. In complex 3 , two ligands bridge two Cu^II ions by pyridyl N atoms, ethereal O atoms, and quinolyl N atoms in a head‐to‐tail mode to generate a dinuclear [Cu₂L₂] unit. Moreover, extended 1D and 2D supramolecular architectures are further constructed in 1 – 3 by multiple secondary interactions such as aromatic stacking and hydrogen bonding. Notably, the structural diversity of complexes 1 – 3 can be properly assigned to the central metal ions that have distinct coordination preferences. In addition, luminescent properties of the ligand and complex 2 were also investigated.     

Syntheses,Structures, and Properties of Copper(II), Cobalt(II), and Cadmium(II) Complexes with Flexible Multicarboxylate Ligand

Three new coordination polymers, namely, [CuL_0.5] ( 1 ), [Co(H₂L)(H₂O)₂][H₂O] ( 2 ), and [(CdCl)_0.5Cd_0.25(H₂L)_0.5] ( 3 ) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions from the corresponding Cu^II, Co^II, and Cd^II salts with a multidentate ligand of 2,2′,2′′,2′′′‐[2,3,5,6‐tetramethyl‐1,4‐phenylenebis(methylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (H₄L). The complexes were characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, IR, thermogravimetric, and elemental analyses. Complex 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca and has a three‐dimensional architecture with infinite two‐dimensional networks linked together by weak Cu–O interactions. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1) and displays a 2D network. Complex 3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4(2)/ncm and exhibits an infinite 3D architecture that has unusual [Cd₂(CO₂)₄Cl₂] dinuclear paddle‐wheel units and [Cd(CO₂)₄] dodecahedron units. The results showed that the coordination arrangement of central metal atoms and the conformation and coordination mode of organic ligands play an important role in determining the structure of the complexes. The luminescence property of complex 3 was studied in the solid state at room temperature.     

Synthesis and NMR Characterization of Cobalt(III) Complexes with 1,8-diamino-3,6-dithiaoctane, 2,2-Bipyridine,and 1,10-phenanthroline

The complexes [Co(eee)(bipy)]Cl₃ and [Co(eee)(phen)]Cl₃ (eee, 1,8-diamino-3,6-dithiaoctane) were synthesized and characterized by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The presence of the bidentate aromatic ligands 2,2-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline caused the ¹H resonances to be spread into a wider spectral width than previously observed for [Co(eee)(NO₂)₂]Cl and [Co(eee)Cl₂]Cl. Separate multiplets were observed for the four protons in the terminal ethylene linkage. It was possible to positively assign each multiplet and to determine the relative spatial orientations of the corresponding protons.     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,Superoxide Dismutase-Like Behaviors and Physical Properties of Four Manganese(III) Complexes with Di-Schiff Bases Derived from Salicylaldehyde and Polyamines

Four manganese(III) complexes, [Mn(salMeDPT)(O 2 CMe)] 1 , [Mn(salMeDPT)Cl]·MeCN 2 , [Mn(salEDPA)] Cl 3 and [Mn(salEDPA)](MeCO 2 ) 4 have been prepared, where the di-Schiff-base salMeDPT and salEDPA were from the (2 + 1) condensation of salicylaldehyde with 4-methyl-4-azaheptane-1,7-diamine and with 4,7-diazadecane-1,10-diamine, respectively. The four complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses and cyclic voltammetry, while complexes 1 - 3 have also been characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffraction, which reveals all the Mn(III) atoms in these complexes adopt slightly compressed octahedra with the Mn-O and Mn-N bond lengths in ranges 1.882(3)-1.890(3) and 2.021(4)-0.546(4) Å, respectively. The results of activity assay indicate that complexes 1 - 4 have moderate superoxide dismutase activities.     

Preparation,Spectroscopic Properties and Characterization of Oxovanadium(IV), Isothiocyanatomanganese(III), Cyanocobalt(III) and Cobalt(II) Complexes with a Bis-Crown Ether Tetraaza[14]Annulene

Oxovanadium(IV), isothiocyanatomanganese(III), cyanocobalt(III) and cobalt(II) complexes of tetraaza[14]annulene appended with two crown ethers at 2,3- and 11,12-positions have been prepared. Cation complexation behavior of these cavity-bearing tetraaza[14]annulene complexes has been investigated by optical absorption methods. The cation K + , which necessitates two crown ether cavities for complexation, induces dimerization of the tetraaza[14]annulene complexes, whereas the Na + does not. Formation of the sandwich complexes due to dimerization is hindered by the steric interactions involving the axial ligand as judged by the blue shift of the intense band around 385-425 nm. Judging from its ESR spectrum, the cobalt(II) complex becomes a monomeric dioxygen complex of a 1 : 1 molar ratio in the presence of O 2 and pyridine at 77 K.
