Kinetics of Reduction of Some Surfactant-Cobalt(III) Complexes by Iron(II)

The electron transfer kinetics of the reaction between the surfactant-cobalt(III) complex ions, cis-[Co(en)₂(C₁₂H₂₅NH₂)₂]³⁺, cis-α-[Co(trien)(C₁₂H₂₅NH₂)₂]³⁺(en:ethylenediamine, trien:triethylenetetramine, C₁₂H₂₅NH₂ : dodecylamine) by iron(II) in aqueous solution was studied at 298, 303, 308 K by spectrophotometry method under pseudo-first-order conditions using an excess of the reductant in self-micelles formed by the oxidant, cobalt(III) complex molecules, themselves. The rate constant of the electron transfer reaction depends on the initial concentration of the surfactant cobalt(III) complexes. ΔS^# also varies with initial concentration of the surfactant cobalt(III) complexes. By assuming outer-sphere mechanism, the results have been explained based on the presence of aggregated structures containing cobalt(III) complexes at the surface of the self-micelles formed by the surfactant cobalt(III) complexes in the reaction medium. The rate constant of each complex increases with initial concentration of one of the reactants surfactant-cobalt(III) complex, which shows that self micelles formed by surfactant-cobalt(III) complex itself has much influence on these reactions. The electron transfer reaction of the surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes was also carried out in a medium of various concentrations of β-cyclodextrin. β-cyclodextrin retarded the rate of the reaction.     

Electrochemistry and Spin-Crossover Behavior of Fluorinated Terpyridine-Based Co(II) and Fe(II) Complexes

Due to their ability to form stable molecular complexes that have tailor-made properties, terpyridine ligands are of great interest in chemistry and material science. In this regard, we prepared two terpyridine ligands with two different fluorinated phenyl rings on the backbone. The corresponding Co^II and Fe^II complexes were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis, electrochemistry and temperature-dependent SQUID magnetometry. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses at 100 K of these complexes revealed Co−N and Fe−N bond lengths that are typical of low spin Co^II and Fe^II centers. The metal centers are coordinated in an octahedral fashion and the fluorinated phenyl rings on the backbone are twisted out of the plane of the terpyridine unit. The complexes were investigated with cyclic voltammetry and UV/Vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry. All complexes show a reversible oxidation and several reduction processes. Temperature dependent SQUID magnetometry revealed a gradual thermal SCO behavior in two of the complexes, while EPR spectroscopy provided further insights on the electronic structure of the metal complexes, as well as site of reduction.

Sulfur-Bonded Coordination Compounds of Palladium(II) and Platinum(II) and Their Antimicrobial Activity

The synthetic, spectroscopic, and biological studies of some new palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes derived from biologically active sulfur donor ligands 1H-indol-2,3-dione benzothiazoline (Bzt ₁ H) and 5-nitro-1H-indol-2,3-dione benzothiazoline (Bzt ₂ H) have been described. The reactions were carried out in 1:2 molar ratios. The authenticity of the benzothiazolines and their complexes has been established on the basis of elemental analyses; molecular weight determinations; and IR, ¹ H NMR, ¹³ C NMR, and UV spectral studies. Based on IR and ¹ H NMR spectral studies, a square-planar structure has been assigned to these complexes. Studies were conducted to assess the comparative growth inhibiting potential of the synthesized complexes against the benzothiazolines for a variety of fungal and bacterial strains. The studies demonstrate that the ligands and complexes possess antimicrobial properties. Further, it was noted that the growth-inhibiting potential of the complexes is greater than the parent benzothiazolines.

The Reduction of Organic Compounds with Chromium(II) Salts

Chromium(II) salts can be used for a variety of reductions in organic chemistry; for example, alkyl halides and suitably substituted olefins may both be reduced to alkanes, and alkynes may be converted into trans-olefins. Several epoxyketones are reduced to α,β-unsaturated ketones or β-hydroxyketones, and a nitro steroid was found to give a hydroxy(hydroxyimino) compound. The reduction of alkyl halides is reported to proceed by a free-radical mechanism; the halogen atom that is set free forms a bridge between two chromium atoms.

DSC Monitoring of the Spin Crossover in Fe(II) Complexes

Heat flow to [Fe(bzimpy)²](ClO₄)₂⋅0.25H₂O complex (bzimpy=2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine) (I) was measured between 300 and 460 K by differential scanning calorimetry. This exhibits a well-developed peak characteristic of the first-order phase transitions at temperature 403 K. The enthalpy and entropy of transition from low-spin to high-spin state has been determined to be ΔH=17 kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔS=43.0 Jmol⁻¹ K⁻¹. Heat flow to [Fe(bzimpy_−1H)₂]⋅H₂O complex (bzimpy _−1H=deprotonated bzimpy) (II) was measured between 300 and 580 K. The spin crossover in this system is accompanied with liberation of crystal water on the first heating. To monitor the structural changes during the spin crossover, powder diffraction data have been collected as a function of temperature. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Fe(III)Fe(III) and Fe(II)Fe(III) Complexes as Synthetic Analogues for the Oxidized and Reduced Forms of Purple Acid Phosphatases

Novel Fe(III)Fe(III) and Fe(II)Fe(III) complexes [Fe(2)(BBPMP)(&mgr;-OAc)(&mgr;-X)](n)() (1, X = OAc(-), n = 1+; 2, X = OH(-), n = 1+; 3, X = OAc(-), n = 0; 4, X = OH(-), n = 0), where BBPMP(3)(-) is the anion of 2,6-bis[(2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol, and OAc(-) is acetate, were prepared in order to provide models for the active site of purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). Complex 1 was obtained by the reaction of H(3)BBPMP with Fe(ClO(4))(2).6H(2)O in methanol and sodium acetate trihydrate under ambient conditions, while complex 3 was synthesized as described for 1, under an argon atmosphere with low levels of dioxygen. 2 was isolated from 1in acetonitrile by a substitution of the bridging acetate group by hydroxide, while 4 was generated in solution during a spectropotentiostatic experiment on 2, under argon. Complex 1, [Fe(III)(2)(BBPMP)(&mgr;-OAc)(2)]ClO(4).H(2)O, has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a = 14.863(5) ?, b = 12.315(3) ?, c = 20.872(8) ?, beta = 90.83(3) degrees, Z = 4. IR, M?ssbauer, magnetic, electronic absorption, and electrochemical properties of 1-3 have been investigated, and some of these properties represent a contribution to the understanding of the dinuclear iron center of PAPs. Complexes 2, [Fe(III)(2)(BBPMP)(&mgr;-OAc)(&mgr;-OH)]ClO(4) (lambda(max) = 568 nm/epsilon = 4760 M(-)(1) cm(-)(1)), and 4 [Fe(II)Fe(III)(BBPMP)(&mgr;-OAc)(&mgr;-OH)] (lambda(max) = 516 nm/epsilon = 4560 M(-)(1) cm(-)(1)), constitute good synthetic analogues for the chromophoric site for the oxidized and reduced forms, respectively, of the enzyme.     

Structural and electrochemical studies of novel bis(mu-methoxo)diiron complexes: observation of Fe(III)Fe(IV) and Fe(IV)Fe(IV) states resonating with phenoxyl radicals

Novel diiron complexes with an Fe2(mu-OMe)2 core were studied as models of the active site of nonheme iron-containing enzymes. X-ray crystal structures of the complexes showed the existence of two types of ligand folding-parallel and twisted-both of which have four virtually equivalent phenolato groups sticking out from the Fe2O2 rhombic plane. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed two or more distinct redox waves in a region of relatively high potential, in addition to known Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox waves in a region of lower potential. These new peaks were assigned to the high-valence state of iron atoms, that is, Fe(III)Fe(IV) and Fe(IV)Fe(IV), resonating with the phenoxyl radical(s). The split width of the redox waves ranged from 0.14 to 0.20 eV, which may be a measure of the electronic interaction of the phenolate groups through the Fe2(mu-OMe)2 core.     

Synthesis of Well-Defined High-Valent Palladium Complexes by Oxidation of Their Palladium(II) Precursors

The last decade has witnessed the rapid development of high-valent Pd-involved organic transformations. This has also led to a steadily growing number of publications concerning the preparation of isolable and characterizable palladium(III) and palladium(IV) complexes. A variety of one-electron and two-electron oxidants have been employed to give access to high-oxidation-state Pd compounds. Undoubtedly, the study of these stoichiometric reactions has great implications for relevant Pd-mediated catalysis. In this minireview, the focus is on the synthetic approaches to structurally determined Pd^III/IV complexes starting from their Pd^II precursors, and the advances in this research area from early 2010 to late 2019 will be highlighted. Chemical oxidations exploiting various oxidizing agents including 1) hypervalent iodine reagents; 2) halogens; 3) electrophilic fluorination reagents; 4) alkyl/aryl halides; 5) ferrocenium salts; 6) peroxides/O₂; 7) sulfonyl chlorides; and 8) others are covered. A “greener” electrooxidation manner has also been reviewed.
