Reaction of the N-(2-pyridyl)carbonylaniline ligand (L) with Cu(NO₃)₂, Cu(ClO₄)₂, Zn(ClO₄)₂, Ni(NO₃)₂ and PdCl₂ gives complexes with stoichiometry [Cu(L)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂, [Cu(L)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, [Zn(L)₂(H₂O)₂] (ClO₄)_2, [Ni(L)₂(H₂O)Cl](NO₃) and PdLCl₂. The new complexes were characterized by elemental analyses and infrared spectra. The crystal structures of [Cu(L)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂, [Cu(L)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, and [Zn(L)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ were determined by X-ray crystallography. The cation complexes [M(L)₂(H₂O)₂] contain copper(II) and zinc(II) with distorted octahedral geometry with two N-(2-pyridyl)carbonylaniline (L) ligands occupying the equatorial sites. The hexa-coordinated metal atoms are bonded to two pyridinic nitrogens, two carbonyl oxygens and two water molecules occupying the axial sites. Both the coordinated water molecules and uncoordinated amide NH groups of the N-(2-pyridyl)carbonylaniline (L) ligands are involved in hydrogen bonding, resulting in infinite hydrogen-bonded chains running in one and two-dimensions.     

Influence of the anion on stabilization and Coordination of Cu(II) and Cu(I) Complexes with Bis-[2-(4,6-Dimethylpyrimidyl)] Disulphide

Complexes of the type Cu(L? S? S? L)X₂ (X = Cl, Br) and Cu(L? S? S? L)₂X (X = ClO₄, BF₄) were prepared in CHCl₃? MeOH solution from CuX₂ · 6 H₂O (X = Cl, Br, ClO₄, BF₄) and bis-[2-(4, 6-dimethylpyrimidyl)]disulphide (L? S? S? L), and examined in the mid-(4000–250 cm^?1) and far-i.r. (5000–60 cm^?1) regions. Assignments for metal-ligand and metalhalogen vibrations were made. On the basis of these assignments, conductivity measurements and from magnetic moments and visible absorption data, the stereochemistry of the compounds was tentatively inferred. For Cu(L? S? S? L)X₂ (X = Cl, Br) species may be proposed an essentially [CuN₂X₂] in-plane microsymmetry achieved through two pyrimidyl nitrogen atoms of a ligand molecule, to form a seven-membered chelate ring and two halide ions, with probable interaction along the z axis with adjacent molecules. The Cu(L? S? S? L)₂X (X = ClO₄, BF₄) species, may be considered to contain isolated complexes cations, Cu(L? S? S? L) , or polynuclear cationic polymers, Cu_n(L? S? S? L), in which Cu(I) is, probably via N₃S, tetrahedraly coordinated.

The structures of [Cu(Phca₂en)(PPh₃)Br] (2) and [Cu(Phca₂en)(PPh₃)I] (3) have been determined from single-crystal data showing that the coordination geometry around copper atom is a distorted tetrahedron. Furthermore, these Cu(I) complexes exhibit supramolecular motifs of the type multiple phenyl embraces resulting from attractive interactions between phenyl rings of PPh₃ moieties. The presence of the C–H…Cu weak intramolecular hydrogen bonds, due to the trapping of C–H bonds in the vicinity of the metal atoms, is also reported.

The ligand L is coordinated to the metal atom in a chelating bidentate fashion through the N atoms of the pyrimidine and pyrazole rings. The coordination polyhedron of the metal atom is extended to a distorted tetrahedron by two halide ions. In solution, CuLBr₂ undergoes slow transformation into CuL_(1?x)L′ _x Br₂ and the binuclear (X-ray diffraction data) Cu(I) complex [CuL_(1?x)L′ _x Br]₂ (L′ is 4-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methyl-2-phenylpyrimidine).

Nickel(II)- und Kobalt(II)-Komplexe des trans-2-Äthylmercapto-cyclohexyl-phenylphosphins

Preparation and properties of nickel(II) and cobalt(II) chelates of the bidentate ligand trans-2-ethylthio-cyclohexyl-phenylphosphine (ÄMCPP) are described. Three types of nickel(II) complexes have been obtained from ÄMCPP: the four-coordinated, square planar [Ni(ÄMCPP)₂]X₂ (X = J, Br, ClO₄); five-coordinated [Ni(ÄMCPP)₂X]X (X = Cl, NCS), [Ni(ÄMCPP)₂X]BPh₄ (X = Cl, NCS) and the octahedral [Ni(ÄMCPP)₂Cl₂]. Cobalt(II) forms tetrahedral 1.1-[Co(ÄMCPP)X₂] (X = Br, Cl) and 1.2-Co(ÄMCPP)₂X₂(X = Br, Cl, NCS) complexes. All compounds were characterized by electronic reflectance and absorption spectra, conductivity and magnetic measurements.     

Cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes of (2-thiophene)-(5,6-diphenyl-[1,2,4]-triazin-3-yl)hydrazone

New complexes having the formulae [L₂CoX₂] and [LCuCl₂], [LCuCl] and [LCu](ClO₄)₂ where L?=?(2-thiophene)-(5,6-diphenyl-[1,2,4]-triazin-3-yl)hydrazone TDPTH; X?=?Cl, OAc or ClO₄ have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, conductance, magnetic moments and infrared, electronic and ESR spectral data. The IR spectra indicate that TDPTH is a neutral bidentate ligand, coordinating via a triazine-N and azomethine-N in [L₂CoX₂] and [LCuCl₂] with the thiophene-S not coordinated but is tridentate in [LCuCl] and [LCu](ClO₄)₂ through the same two nitrogen atoms and thiophene-S. The magnetic moment and electronic spectral data suggest a distorted octahedral structure for Co(II) complexes, a dimeric square pyramidal geometry for [LCuCl₂] through chloride bridges and a dimeric diamagnetic, four-coordinate copper in [LCu](ClO₄)₂ through thiophene-S bridges. The X-band ESR spectra of Co(II) complexes, in the solid state, are rhombic with three g values consistent with a high-spin distorted octahedral structure. The X-band ESR spectrum of the powdered sample of both [LCuCl₂]·2H₂O and [LCu](ClO₄)₂ at room temperature and at 77?K showed only one broad signal due to?ΔM _s?=?±?1 transition and a weak signal due to the forbidden?ΔM _s?=?±?2 transition, indicating an antiferromagnetic interaction between copper(II) centers whereas [LCuCl] is ESR silent, indicating a monovalent copper ion in this complex.     

Synthesis,characterization and non-linear optical properties of two mononuclear Cu(II) complexes of 2,6-bis(1-butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine

Two copper(II) complexes, [Cu(L)(N₃)₂]·MeOH and [Cu(L)(NCS)₂]·MeOH, were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic, analytical, and quantum chemical studies, where L is 2,6-bis(1-butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine. X-ray quality crystals of [Cu(L)(N₃)₂]·MeOH were obtained by slow evaporation of MeOH solution of the complex. Molecular structure of [Cu(L)(N₃)₂]·MeOH was determined by X-ray crystallography. The asymmetric unit contains one [Cu(L)(N₃)₂] and one MeOH molecule. Cu(II) in [Cu(L)(N₃)₂]·MeOH is five-coordinate, bonded to five nitrogens (three from L and two from two azide anions). Coordination geometry around Cu(II) center is distorted square-pyramidal with τ value of 0.065. Optimized geometries, IR spectra, and non-linear optical properties of the complexes were obtained by computational studies based on density functional theory (DFT) with M062X method. NLO properties of these complexes were investigated computationally and both complexes exhibit better NLO properties than urea.

The i.r. spectra indicate that DPymPz is a neutral bidentate ligand being the pyrazolyl and one pyrimidyl ring nitrogen. The X is bonded to the central metal ion in a majority of the complexes.Part 5: N. Saha and D. Mukherjee,Polyhedron,5, 1317 (1986).

In addition, cation-anion pairs of [Cu(bppep)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ and [Ni(bppep)(Cl)]Cl are also intercalated between the hectorite layers (intersalation). On the other hand, it is possible to synthesize [Cu(bppep)(H₂O)]²⁺ or [Ni(bppep)(H₂O)]²⁺ modified hectorites without additional ion-pair intercalation (intersalation) by reaction of nickel- and copper-hectorites with the bppep ligand.     

Spectroscopic studies on copper(II) complexes derived from a substituted 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazone

Summary Copper(II) complexes of general formula [Cu(L4A)X] (where L4A is the deprotonated ligand, 1 H-hexahydroazepine-1-thiocarboxylic acid-2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazide and X=Cl, Br, I, NCS, NO₃ and OAc) and [Cu(HL4A)(L4A)]ClO₄ have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, i.r. spectra, electronic spectra, conductivity measurements and e.s.r. spectra in the polycrystalline state and in chloroform solution. For all complexes, except the perchlorate salt, coordination occurs via imine nitrogen, pyridine nitrogen and thione sulphur. For the perchlorate salt, L4A is tridentate, while HL4A is monodentate via imine nitrogen. Electronic spectra suggest planar geometry for all the complexes. The calculated e.s.r parameters suggest coordination through sulphur in agreement with the i.r. results.

1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-thiapropane (L) ligand and its zinc halide ZnX₂ (X = Cl, Br, I) complexes have been synthesized. The compounds were characterized using the elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FT-Raman, FT-IR (mid i.r., far i.r.), ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, and quantum chemical calculations performed with Gaussian 03 package program set. The optimized geometries and vibrational frequencies of the ligand and [Zn(L)Cl₂] complex were calculated using the DFT/B3LYP method with a 6–31g(d) basis set. The geometry optimization of [Zn(L)Cl₂] yields a slightly distorted tetrahedral environment around Zn ion, while the molecule clearly reveals the Cs symmetry. The molar conductivity data reveals that the complexes are neutral. The ligand is bidentate, via two of the imine nitrogen atoms in the bis-imidazole ring units, and together with the monodentate coordination of the two halides to the metal centre.     

Crystal Structures of [Cu2(bpy)2(H2O)(OH)2(SO4)]·4H2O and [Cu(bpy)(H2O)2]SO4 with bpy = 2, 2′‐Bipyridine

Two sulfato Cu^II complexes [Cu₂(bpy)₂(H₂O)(OH)₂(SO₄)]· 4H₂O ( 1 ) and [Cu(bpy)(H₂O)₂]SO₄ ( 2 ) were synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X—ray diffraction. Complex 1 consists of the asymmetric dinuclear [Cu₂(bpy)₂(H₂O)(OH)₂(SO₄)] complex molecules and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. Within the dinuclear molecules, the Cu atoms are in square pyramidal geometries, where the equatorial sites are occupied by two N atoms of one bpy ligand and two O atoms of different μ₂—OH groups and the apical position by one aqua ligand or one sulfato group. Through intermolecular O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular π—π stacking interactions, the dinuclear complex molecules are assembled into layers, between which the hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules are located. The Cu atoms in 2 are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one bpy ligand and four O atoms of two H₂O molecules and two sulfato groups with the sulfato O atoms at the trans positions and are bridged by sulfato groups into ¹[Cu(bpy)(H₂O)₂(SO₄)_2/2] chains. Through the interchain π—π stacking interactions and interchain C—H···O hydrogen bonds, the resulting chains are assembled into bi—chains, which are further interlinked into layers by O—H···O hydrogen bonds between adjacent bichains.
