Tunability of the M(II)M(III)/M(II)(2) and M(III)(2)/M(II)M(III) (M=Mn, Co) couples in bis-μ-O,O'-carboxylato-μ-OR bridged complexes

A comparison of the electrochemical properties of a series of dinuclear complexes [M(2)(L)(RCO(2))(2)](+) with M = Mn or Co, L = 2,6-bis(N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-sulfonamido)-4-methylphenolato (bpsmp(-)) or 2,6-bis(N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl)-4-tert-butylphenolato (bpbp(-)) and R = H, CH(3), CF(3) or 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate demonstrates: (i) The electron-withdrawing sulfonyl groups in the backbone of bpsmp(-) stabilize the [M(2)(bpsmp)(RCO(2))(2)](+) complexes in their M(II)(2) oxidation state compared to their [M(2)(bpbp)(RCO(2))(2)](+) analogues. Manganese complexes are stabilised by approximately 550 mV and cobalt complexes by 650 mV. (ii) The auxiliary bridging carboxylato ligands further attenuate the metal-based redox chemistry. Substitution of two acetato for two trifluoroacetato ligands shifts redox couples by 300-400 mV. Within the working potential window, reversible or quasi-reversible M(II)M(III)? M(II)(2) processes range from 0.31 to 1.41 V for the [Co(2)(L)(RCO(2))(2)](+/2+) complexes and from 0.54 to 1.41 V for the [Mn(2)(L)(RCO(2))(2)](+/2+) complexes versus Ag/AgCl for E(M(II)M(III)/M(II)(2)). The extreme limits are defined by the complexes [M(2)(bpbp)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)](+) and [M(2)(bpsmp)(CF(3)CO(2))(2)](+) for both metal ions. Thus, tuning the ligand field in these dinuclear complexes makes possible a range of around 0.9 V and 1.49 V for the one-electron E(M(II)M(III)/M(II)(2)) couple of the Mn and Co complexes, respectively. The second one-electron process, M(II)M(III)? M(III)(2) was also observed in some cases. The lowest potential recorded for the E°(M(III)(2)/M(II)M(III)) couple was 0.63 V for [Co(2)(bpbp)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)](2+) and the highest measurable potential was 2.23 V versus Ag/AgCl for [Co(2)(bpsmp)(CF(3)CO(2))(2)](2+).     

Hexaaquacobalt(II) and hexaaquacadmium(II) 4-nitro-2,3,5,6-tetraoxopyridinates [M(H2O)6](C5HN2O6)2 · 2H2O (M = Co and Cd): Synthesis, structures, and properties

The complexes [Cd(H₂O)₆](C₅HN₂O₆)₂ · 2H₂O (I) and [Co(H₂O)₆](C₅HN₂O₆)₂ · 2H₂O (II) were obtained in the crystalline state by reactions of cobalt chloride and cadmium chloride with ammonium 4-nitro-2,3,5,6-tetraoxopyridinate, (NH₄)₂ · (C₅HO₆N₂)₂. Their cocrystallization gave the heterometallic complex [Cd_0.32Co_0.68(H₂O)₆](C₅HN₂O₆)₂ · 2H₂O (III). The crystal and molecular structures of complexes I-III were determined by X-ray diffraction. It was demonstrated that the complexation reactions occur by replacement of two ammonium cations 4-nitro-2,3,5,6-tetraoxopyridinate by the complex cations [M(H₂O)₆]²⁺. The tetraoxopyridinate anions and the complex cations are hydrogen-bonded through the coordinated and crystallization water molecules as well as through the O atoms of the organic anion. The thermolysis of complexes I and II was examined by TGA.     

Thermal and calorimetric studies of M(IO3)2·6H2O and M(IO3)2·6D2O forM 2+=Ca2+ and Sr2+

Thermal and calorimetric studies were carried out on M(IO₃)₂·6H₂O and M(IO₃)₂·6D₂O forM ²⁺=Ca²⁺ and Sr²⁺, using DTA and DSC methods. The thermal behaviour of the ordinary and deuterated hydrates is outlined and the differences observed between them are discussed. The enthalpies of the phase transitions were determined. The H _f ^o for Ca(IO₃)₂·6H₂O, Ca(IO₃)₂·6H₂O(D₂O) and Sr(IO₃)₂·6H₂O(D₂O) were calculated from the H _deh data and comments are made on the isotope effect observed.

Cyanide-bridged manganese(II) and chloride-bridged copper(II) complexes with 2-pyridineethanol: synthesis,structural characterization and C-H⋯M interactions

[Mn(hepH)₂Ni(μ-CN)₂(CN)₂]_n (1) and [Cu₂(μ-Cl)₂(μ-hep)₂]_n (2) (2-pyridineethanol abbreviated to hepH) have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopies, elemental analyses, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray single-crystal structure analysis reveals that the structures of 1 and 2 consist of 1-D infinite chains. The coordination environment of Mn(II) was identified as distorted octahedral, whereas Ni(II) has a square planar geometry in 1. Each Cu(II) in 2 adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry in which the basal plane is constructed by oxygen and nitrogen atoms from hep and a bridging chloride ligand, respectively, and the apical position is occupied by the other chloride. The 1-D chains in 1 and 2 are extended into a 2-D supramolecular network by O?H?N and weak C?H?Cl hydrogen bonds, respectively. Adjacent 2-D layers are further connected by C?H?M interactions resulting in the formation of 3-D supramolecular networks. The most remarkable properties of complexes are the presence of close C–H?M interactions with distance values of 2.58 and 2.93 Å between H?Ni and H?Cu, respectively. The H?Ni interaction distance is shorter than the corresponding values of other tetracyanonickelate(II) complexes.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of some new dimeric [(μ-Cl)2M2(L)2 · xTHF] [M = Zn(II) and Hg(II)] complexes containing Schiff-base ligands

A series of binuclear Schiff-base complexes of zinc(II) and mercury(II) containing bidentate ligands (HL) [HL?=?salicylidene-2-methyl-1-aminobenzene (HL¹), salicylidene-2-aminopyridine (HL²), and salicylidene-3-nitro-1-aminobenzene (HL³)] with “N” and “O” donors have been synthesized by simple metathetic reactions of anhydrous metal chlorides with sodium salts of Schiff bases (in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/MeOH) in equimolar ratio to produce [(µ-Cl)₂M₂(L)₂?·?xTHF] [where M?=?Zn(II) and Hg(II); L?=?HL¹, HL², and HL³; x?=?0 for (1), (4), (6) and x?=?2 for (2), (3), (5)]. The main emphasis on the complexes [(µ-Cl)₂M₂(L)₂?·?2THF] (2), (3), and (5) is given due to their five-coordinate environment around metal ions. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses (M, Cl, C, H, N), melting point, and spectral (FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, and ¹³C-NMR) studies. The structural composition of the complexes has been determined by FAB-MS spectral studies. FAB-MS showed the isotopic molecular ion peak [M⁺] and fragments supporting the formulation. Powder X-ray diffraction study of 6 is also reported showing the crystallite size (404.5?Å) of the complex.     

Palladium(II) and Platinum(II) Complexes of N-Phenyl- and N-Ethyl-N′-pyrimidin-2-ylthiourea

Palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of N-ethyl-N′-pyrimidin-2-ylthiourea(HL¹) and N-phenyl-N′-pyrimidin-2-ylthiourea (HL²) have been prepared, and the complexes [M(HL)Cl₂], [Pt(L)₂], [Pd(HL¹)₂]Cl₂, and [Pd(L²)₂] (where M = Pd^II or Pt^II) were characterized. The spectroscopic data are consistent with coordination of thioureas as neutral or monoanionic ligands to Pd^II and Pt^II through S and a pyrimidine-N. The IR spectra show shifts of CS and pyrimidine ring stretch bands to lower and higher frequencies, respectively. The ¹H NMR spectra differentiate between H(4′) and H(6′) resonances and indicate downfield shifts for all protons of pyrimidine [H(4′), H(5′), and H(6′)], two resonances for two N?H protons for complexes containing the neutral ligand (HL), and only one N?H proton chemical shift for complexes containing the monoanion (L). ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of pyrimidine carbons are correlated with the type of bonding between Pd^II or Pt^II and pyrimidine-N. The magnetic susceptibilities suggest a diamagnetic planar structure for all complexes.

Synthesis and magnetic properties of copper(II)-MII-copper(II) trinuclear complexes with N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)oxamidocopper(II) [M = Co and Ni]

Summary Two novel trinuclear complexes were prepared, namely [Cu₂(oxae)₂(H₂O)₂M] (ClO₄)₂, [oxae = N,N-bis(2-aminoethyl) oxamido dianion; M = Co and Ni]. Based on elemental analyses, conductivity measurements and i.r. spectra, the complexes are proposed to have extended oxamidobridged structures. The magnetic susceptibility of [Cu₂-(oxae) ₂(H₂O)₂Co](ClO₄)₂ were measured over the 4–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin Hamiltonian, =–2J(₁·₂·₂·₃). The exchange integral, J, was found to be equal to –29.2 cm^–1, indicating an antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between the adjacent metal ions.     

Copper(II), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) coordination polymers with 2-methylglutarato and 4,4′-dipyridyldisulfide

Three new coordination polymers of copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II), Cu(H₂O)(Dpds)(2-MGA) (I), [Zn(Dpds)(2-MGA)] · 1.25H₂O (II) and [Cd(H₂O)(Dpds)(2-MGA)] · 0.25H₂O (III) (Dpds = 4,4′-dipyridyldisulfide, H₂MGA = (RS)-2-methyl glutaric acid), have been synthesized and characteried by X-ray single crystal structure determination. The Cu atoms in I are alternately bridged by Dpds ligands and 2-methylglutarato ligands to generate 1D chain. The resulted chains are assembled via S...S weak interactions into 2D layers, which are through twofold 2D parallel/2D parallel mode inclined interpenetration to induce 3D supramolecular architecture. In II, the ZnN₂O₂ tetrahedras are bridged by 2-MGA anion and Dpds ligands to form 2D (4,4) networks, which are assembled via hydrogen bonds to 3D supramolecular architecture. The centrosymmetric binuclear units Cd₂(2-MGA)₂ in III are bridged by Dpds ligands to form 1D repeated rhomboids chains, which are interlinked via S...S weak interactions into 2D layer, and the resulting 2D sheets are inclined parallel into 3D network.     

Ion-Exchange Processes M(II) → Fe(III) and Fe(III) → M(II) in Metal Hexacyanoferrate(II) Gelatin-Immobilized Matrices (M = Mn,Co, Ni,Cu, Zn,Cd)

Ion-exchange reactions M²⁺ Fe³⁺ and Fe³⁺ M²⁺ (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) were studied in metal(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrices M₂[Fe(CN)₆] in contact with aqueous FeCl₃ solutions and Fe₄[Fe(CN)₆]₃ in contact with aqueous MCl₂ solutions. It was shown that in both cases, M²⁺ was replaced by Fe³⁺ and Fe³⁺ was replaced by M²⁺ to some extent, but no complete replacement was observed in the M₂[Fe(CN)₆]–FeCl₃ or Fe₄[Fe(CN)₆]₃–MCl₂ systems under study. No electrophilic substitution Fe³⁺ Mn²⁺ was found to occur in any noticeable degree during the contact of Fe₄[Fe(CN)₆]₃ with aqueous MnCl₂ solutions even when this contact occurred for 1 h and longer.

The crystal structures of the four title clathrate compounds Cd(NH₃)₂Cd(CN)₄ · 2C₆H₆,I, Cd(NH₃)₂Cd(CN)₄ · 2C₆H₅NH₂,II, Cd(NH₂CH₂CH₂NH₂)Cd(CN)₄ · 2 C₆H₅NH₂,III, and Cd(C₆H₅NH₂)₂Cd(CN)₄ · 0.5C₆H₅NH₂,IV, have been analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. CompoundI crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupC2/c,a = 12.063(2),b = 12.174(2),c = 14.621(1) Å,β = 90.976(9)°,Z = 4,R = 0.042 for 2388 reflections;II: monoclinic C₂/c,a = 12.1951(9),b = 12.078(1),c = 14.6921(7) Å,β = 93.436(5)°,Z = 4,R = 0.039 for 2374 reflections;III: monoclinicCc,a = 11.027(1),b = 12.0767(9),c = 15.837(1) Å,β = 92.059(9)°,Z = 4,R = 0.041 for 2883 reflections; andIV: monoclinicP2₁/n,a = 15.169(2),b = 16.019(2),c = 8.866(1) Å,β = 95.73(1)°,Z = 4,R = 0.052 for 3612 reflections. The three-dimensionalcatena-[diamminecadmium(II) tetra-μ-cyanocadmate(II)] hosts ofI andII are substantially isostructural to that of the already known Hofmann-Td-type Cd(NH₃)₂Hg(CN)₄ · 2C₆H₆. The three-dimensional en-Td-typecatena-[catena-μ-ethylenediaminecadmium(II) tetra-μ-cyanocadmate(II)] host ofIII, reinforced by the catena-μ-en linking between the octahedral Cd atoms, accommodates the aniline as the guest with a monoclinic distortion from the tetragonal symmetry of the previously reported en-Td-type benzene clathrate. InIV dual behavior of aniline, one as the unidentate ligand in the three-dimensional host and the other as the guest in the cage-like cavity, has been demonstrated.     

Two isotypic transition metal germanophosphates M(II)4(H2O)4[Ge(OH)2(HPO4)2(PO4)2] (M(II) = Fe, Co): synthesis, structure, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic properties

Synthetic, structural, thermogravimetric, M?ssbauer spectroscopic, and magnetic studies were performed on two new isotypic germanophosphates, M(II)(4)(H(2)O)(4)[Ge(OH)(2)(HPO(4))(2)(PO(4))(2)] (M(II) = Fe, Co), which have been prepared under hydro-/solvo-thermal conditions. Their crystal structures, determined from single crystal data, are built from zigzag chains of M(II)O(6)-octahedra sharing either trans or skew edges interconnected by [GeP(4)O(14)(OH)(4)](8-) germanophosphate pentamers to form three-dimensional neutral framework structure. The edge-sharing M(II)O(6)-octahedral chains lead to interesting magnetic properties. These two germanophosphates exhibit a paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition at low temperatures. Additionally, two antiferromagnetic ordering transitions at around 8 and 6 K were observed for cobalt compound while only one at 19 K for the iron compound. Low-dimensional magnetic correlations within the octahedral chains are also observed. The divalent state of Fe in the iron compound determined from the M?ssbauer study and the isothermal magnetization as well as thermal analyses are discussed.

Copper(II), zinc(II) and mixed metal copper(II)-zinc(II) peroxocomplexes containing 2,2′,6′,2″-terpyridine

Summary Facile reaction of 2,2,6,2-terpyridine (L; terpy) with copper or zinc powders or their mixtures, in the presence of an excess of H₂O₂, leads to novel complexes [Cu(L)-(O₂ ^2–)]·3H₂O, [Zn(L)(O ₂ ^2– )]·H₂O and [Cu,Zn(L)₂(O ₂ ^2– )₂]· 4H₂O, respectively, which were isolated and characterized by elemental and micro- analysis, e.s.r., electronic, i.r. and thermogravimetric analysis in air and argon.     

Thermal and calorimetric investigations of M(IO3)2·2H2O forM 2+=Ni2+ and Zn2+ and their deuterated analogues

The thermal dehydration and decomposition of M(IO₃)₂·2H₂O (M ²⁺=Ni²⁺ and Zn²⁺) and their deuterates were investigated by DTA and DSC methods. The data obtained confirm their onestage dehydration and their decomposition to the respective oxides. Ni(IO₃)₂·2H₂O and Ni(IO₃)₂·2D₂O, were more stable than Zn(IO₃)₂·2H₂O and Zn(IO₃)₂·2D₂O. A considerable isotope effect was observed in relation toT _deh for Ni(IO₃)₂·2H₂O and Ni(IO₃)₂·2D₂O, which was explained by the presence of structural changes well differentiated from the dehydration process for the deuterate. The data obtained for both pairs of dihydrates were used to determine ΔH _f ^o for Ni(IO₃)₂·2H₂O and Ni(IO₃)₂·2D₂O.     

Mixed neutral compounds of palladium(II) and platinum (II) chelated by diolato(2−) and di-imine ligands

Structural,infrared spectral and thermogravimetric analysis of a hydrogen-bonded assembly of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) mixed complex cations with hexamethylenetetraamine and aqua ligands: {[M(hmt)2(H2O)4][M(H2O)6]}(SO4)2·6H2O

The synthesized cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes {[M(hmt)₂(H₂O)₄][M(H₂O)₆]}(SO₄)₂·6H₂O [M?=?Co(II) (1) and Ni(II) (2), hmt?=?hexamethylenetetraamine] share the same general formula and chemical name {[bis(hexamethylenetetraamine)tetraaquametal(II)][hexaaquametal(II)]} disulfate hexahydrate. Complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis and magnetic moment determination. Each complex has two different cationic complexes co-crystallizing with the sulfate anions. The crystal structure of 1has been determined. Both complex cations in 1 have distorted octahedral geometry and they are linked to the sulfate anions through the coordinated and lattice water molecules. Each sulfate anion is hydrogen bonded to ten water molecules; two of its oxygen atoms have two hydrogen bonds each while the other two oxygen atoms have three hydrogen bonds each. The three uncoordinated nitrogen atoms of hmt in each [Co(hmt)₂(H₂O)₄]²⁺ cation are hydrogen bonded to water molecules of adjacent [Co(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cations. The thermal decomposition of 1 has been investigated further by analyzing the FTIR spectra of the residues formed from each decomposition step, and the data have contributed to establishing the thermal decomposition pathway of both 1and 2.     

Self-assembled supramolecular M9 (Mn(II), Fe(III), Zn(II)), M5 (Fe(III)), and [M3]2 (Pb(II)) complexes: structural,magnetic, and Mössbauer properties

Compound 3 exhibits intramolecular antiferromagnetic exchange within the nonanuclear [Mn(9)(mu-O)(12)] grid structure (J = -4.6 cm(-1)), while the analogous nonanuclear complex [Fe(9)(2poap-2H)(6)](NO(3))(15).18H(2)O (8) is dominated by intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling at high temperatures but exhibits a low-temperature feature indicative of additional ferromagnetic interactions. The isolated pentanuclear Fe(5) [4 + 1] square grid in 7, with distant Fe-Fe bridging, exhibits very weak antiferromagnetic coupling (J = -0.2 cm(-1)). M?ssbauer spectroscopy data are consistent with high-spin Fe(III)(9) and Fe(III)(5) structures.

Infrared and Raman spectra of 2-(α-hydroxybenzyl)thiamine, 2-(α-hydroxycyclohexylmethyl)thiamine,their protonated forms and their complexes with zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II)

The infrared and Raman spectra of the ligands; 2-(α-hydroxybenzyl)thiaminium chloride (HBT), 2-(α-hydroxycyclohexylmethyl)thiaminium chloride (HCMT), and their protonated forms HBT·HCl and HCMT·HCl, as well as of their zwitterionic type complexes Zn(HBT)Cl₃, Cd(HBT)Cl₃, Hg(HBT)Cl₃ and Zn(HCMT)Cl₃, Cd(HCMT)Cl₃, Hg(HCMT)Cl₃, have been recorded in the region 4000-50 cm⁻. Several characteristic bands have been identified or tentatively assigned and are discussed in relation to the structures of the complexes. It is concluded from the spectra that the complexes are isostructural and that the bonding site of the ligands is the N(1′) atom of the pyrimidine moiety.     

Synthesis and phase formation in M 0.5(1+x) 2+ FexTi2−x (PO4)3 phosphate series

New complex phosphates of titanium, iron, and alkaline-earth metals have been synthesized. X-ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis (DTA), and IR spectroscopy are used to study phase formation in the series of M_0.5(1+x)Fe_xTi_2?x (PO₄)₃ (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) phosphates. Individual compounds and solid solutions are found to crystallize in the NaZr₂(PO₄)₃ and K₂Mg₂(SO₄)₃ structure types. Their crystal parameters are calculated. CaFeTi(PO₄)₃ is studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy. Its structure is refined by the Rietveld method: space group $R\bar 3$ c, Z = 6, a = 8.5172(1), Å, c = 21.7739(4) Å, V = 1367.91(4) ų.
