Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Group 10 Metal Bis(dithiolate) Complexes Constructed by 2,3-Naphtho-15-Crown-5 or 2,3-Naphtho-18-Crown-6

Five novel 2,3-naphtho crown ether group 10 metal bis(dithiolate) complexes, [Na(N15C5)₂]₂[Pd(mnt)₂] (1), [Na(N15C5)]₂[Pd(i-mnt)₂] (2) and [K(N18C6)]₂[M(i-mnt)₂] (3 5) (where mnt = 1,2-dicyanoethylene-1,2-dithiolate, i-mnt = 1,1-dicyanoethylene-2,2-dithiolate and M = Ni, Pd, Pt for complexes 3–5, respectively), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Visible spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that complexes 1 and 2 have different structural features while complexes 3–5 are structurally isomorphous. Complex 1 consists of two [Na(N15C5)₂]⁺ sandwich complex cations and one [Pd(mnt)₂]²⁻ anion, affording a zero-dimensional structure. For 2, the [Na(N15C5)]⁺ mono-capped complex cations act as the bridges linking the [Pd(i-mnt)₂]²⁻ anions into a 1D infinite chain through Na–N interactions and SȮFC and SȮFπ interactions are observed in the resulting chain. Complexes 3–5 all consist of two [K(N18C6)]⁺ complex cations and one [M(i-mnt)₂]²⁻ (M = Ni, Pd or Pt) anion and the complex molecules are linked into␣1D␣chains by the bridging K–O(ether) interactions between the adjacent [K(N18C6)]⁺ units. What’s novel is that the resulting chains are assembled into novel 2D networks through interchain π–π stacking interactions between the neighboring naphthylene moieties of N18C6. The stack model of naphthylene group in complexes 3–5 is discussed.

The sole terminal F-Atom and the Cl-atom are disordered in two positions.

Their redox properties show that some of them are easily oxidized and undergo transformation to paramagnetic salts containing bis(maleonitriledithiolato)-metallate(III) anions [M(mnt)₂]⁻ (M=Ni, Pt; bis[2,3-dimercapto-κS)but-2-enedinitrilato(2⁻)]nickelate (1⁻) or -platinate (1⁻). The derivatives [ 3a ] [Ni(mnt)₂] ( 26 ), [ 3a ] [Pt(mnt)₂] ( 27 ), [Fe{(η⁵-C₅Me₄S)₂S}] [Ni(Mnt)₂] ( 28 ), [Fe{(η⁵-C₅Me₄S)₂S}] [Pt(mnt)₂] ( 29 ), [ 5 ] [Ni(mnt)₂]⋅ClCH₂CH₂Cl ( 30 ), [ 6a ] [Ni(mnt)₂] ( 31 ), [ 6a ] [Ni(mnt)₂]⋅ClCH₂CH₂Cl ( 31a ), [ 6a ] [Pt(mnt)₂] [ 32 ), and [ 6b ] [Ni(mnt)₂] ( 33 ) were prepared and fully characterized, including by SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) susceptibility measurements.

The salts 28 and 30 display both a D⁺A⁻A⁻D⁺ structural motif, however, with a different relative arrangement of the [{Ni(mnt)₂}₂]²⁻ dimers, thus giving rise to different but strong antiferromagnetic couplings. Salt 26 exhibits isolated ferromagnetically coupled [{Ni(mnt)₂}₂]²⁻ dimers. Salt 27 displays a D⁺A⁻D⁺A⁻ structural motif in all three space dimensions, and a week ferromagnetic ordering at low temperature. Salt 31a , on the contrary, shows segregated stacks of cations and anions. The cations are connected with each other in two dimensions, and the anions are separated by a 1,2-dichloroethane molecule.     

Hexagonal supramolecular architectures from ferrocenium cations incorporating [Ni(mnt)2]- columns: structures and properties of [alkylferrocene][Ni(mnt)2]- charge-transfer complexes (mnt=maleonitriledithiolate)

The crystal architecture, magnetic properties, and thermodynamic properties of [n-butylferrocene][Ni(mnt)2] (1), [tert-butylferrocene][Ni(mnt)2] (2), [1,1'-diethylferrocene][Ni(mnt)2] (3), and [1,1'-diisopropylferrocene][Ni(mnt)2] (4) were investigated (mnt=maleonitriledithiolate). These complexes exhibit a unique supramolecular structure in which the ferrocenium cations constitute honeycomb-like assembled structures surrounding columns of the anions. For 1, the cations form a dimer through a very short intermolecular ferrocene-ferrocene distance of 3.28 A, which mediates an antiferromagnetic interaction with a singlet-triplet energy gap of 5 K. First-order phase transitions occur in 1-3 at 364, 361, and 350 K, respectively, accompanied by thermal hysteresis.

A new ion-pair complex, [BrBzMeQl][Ni(mnt)₂] (1) ([BrBzMeQl]⁺?=?1-(4′-bromobenzyl)-2-methylquinolinium; mnt^2??=?maleonitriledithiolate), has been prepared and characterized.

The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities of 1 have been measured over the range 75–300?K and the results reveal that the complex exhibits antiferromagnetic behavior.

They were characterized by an X-ray structure determination, by FIR spectroscopy as well as by the magnetic behaviour. [Na(12-crown-4)₂]₂[Ni(Se₄)₂] · DMF crystallizes monoclinically in the space group P2₁, 3650 observed unique reflections, R = 0.046. Lattice dimensions at ?80°C: a = 1020.3(2); b = 1889.5(2); c = 1498.7(3) pm; β = 108.29(1)°. The compound has an ionic structure, in which the sodium atoms of the [Na(12-crown-4)₂]⁺ cations are coordinated by the oxygen atoms of the crown ether molecules in an antiprismatic fashion. The nickel atom of the anion [Ni(Se₄)₂]^2? is surrounded by four selenium atoms of the tetraselenide chelates in an almost planar environment. The DMF molecules are inserted in the lattice without a bonding interaction. The magnetic susceptibility observed in the temperature interval 4.2 to 330K can be interpreted by means of a ³E ground term and D₂ as local symmetry, which was established by X-ray crystallography.     

A chromium(III) bis-acetylide complex containing a trans-diethyl-ethylenedithio-substituted tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivative: synthesis,crystal structures,and magnetic properties

A new Cr(III) bis-acetylide complex containing redox-active ethynyl-substituted 4-methyl-4′,5′-trans-diethyl-ethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene, [Cr(III)cyclam(C≡C-MeEt₂EDT-TTF)₂]ⁿ⁺ ([1]ⁿ⁺) was synthesized. The crystal structures of two salts, [1][Ni(dmit)₂] (dmit?=?2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) and [1][Ni(mnt)₂]₃ (mnt?=?maleonitriledithiolate), were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal of [1][Ni(dmit)₂], the trans-diethyl group of [1]⁺ is in the axial position and prevents π-stacking of the TTF units, resulting in a negligibly weak spin–spin interaction between Cr³⁺ and [Ni(dmit)₂]^?. In contrast, in [1][Ni(mnt)₂]_3, the trans-diethyl group is in the equatorial position in [1][Ni(mnt)₂]₃ owing to the strong attractive force between the π-stacked TTF⁺ units and the [Ni(mnt)₂]^? anions. This π-stacking has a significant effect on the magnetic property of [1] [Ni(mnt)₂]₃. The π-stacked TTF⁺ units and [Ni(mnt)₂]^? anions behave approximately as a one-dimensional S?=?1/2 antiferromagnetic chain connecting the spins of Cr³⁺ antiferromagnetically.

Both 1 and 2 form a 3D network structure in which the [Ni(mnt)₂]⁻ anions form a 1D magnetic chain for 1 and a stepwise stack for 2via weak π…π stacking interactions, C…C or C…N short interactions between the neighboring anions. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 1.8-300 K indicated that 1 and 2 show unusual spin gap transition around 30 K and 110 K, respectively. The transition for 1 and 2 is the second-order phase transition as determined by the capacity measurement.

Pseudohalogeno Metal Compounds. LXXVIII. Structures of Planar and Tetrahedral Tetrafulminato Metal Complexes: [N(C₃H₇)₄]₂ [Ni(CNO)₄], [N(C₃H₇)₄]₂ [Pt(CNO)₄], and [N(C₃H₇)₄]₂ [Zn(CNO)₄] The crystals contain the tetrafulminatometallates of an ideal square planar structure ([Ni(CNO)₄]^2–, [Pt(CNO)₄]^2–) with D_4h symmetry at the nickel and platinum atom and a tetrahedron ([Zn(CNO)₄]^2–) with perfect T_d symmetry at the zinc atom and with linear C≡N–O ligands.

In the crystals the anions ([Ni(CNO)₄]^2–, [Pt(CNO)₄]^2–, [Zn(CNO)₄]^2–) are separated by the cations ([N(C₃H₇)₄]⁺) which explains the thermal stability of these compounds.     

2D H-bonding molecular magnets based on [Ni(mnt)2]− monoanion: Syntheses,crystal structures and magnetic properties

Two new H-bonding molecular magnets based on [Ni(mnt)₂]⁻ monoanion have been synthesized and characterized structurally. In crystal of 1, [Ni(mnt)₂]⁻ monoanions form the π-stacked sheets and the neighboring anionic sheets are held together via H-bonding interactions between –NH groups of diprotonated benzene-1,4-diamine and CN groups of mnt²⁻ ligands. In crystal of 2, the neighboring anionic dimers form an anionic column via Ni…S contacting interactions, and these anionic stacks arrange into a sheet which is parallel to crystallographic ab-plane. The H-bonding interactions between diprotonated 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane cations and [Ni(mnt)₂]⁻ monoanions as well as between cations and solvent MeCN molecules stabilize the lattice. Magnetic susceptibility measurement for 1 indicates an activated magnetic behavior in the high-temperature range together with a Curie tail at the lower temperature range, but the magnetic feature deviates from the magnetic exchange model for a spin dimer with S = 1/2. The magnetic nature of 2 reveals the presence of strongly antiferromagnetic interactions between the nearest-neighboring spins, the larger energy gap between spin ground and excited states results in a weakly paramagnetic property.
