Identification of different Cr(III) nta complexes: crystallisation of Cs2[Cr2(nta)2(μ-OH)2]·4H2O in two space groups

Cs₂[Cr₂(nta)₂(μ-OH)₂]·4H₂O (nta=nitrilotriacetate) crystallises in two different space groups due to a slight variation in pH of the reaction mixtures.

The complex crystallises in the tetragonal, I4₁/a (I) and monoclinic, P2₁/c (II), space groups. The two hydroxo groups bridge the two Cr centres with OH–Cr–OH angles of 81.5(3)° (I) and 82.08(10)° (II), respectively. The tetradentate nta ligand completes the octahedral geometry around the Cr centre. The Cr–OH bonds are 1.942(7) and 1.961(6) Å for (I) and 1.987(2) and 1.991(1) Å for (II).

Preparation and Characterisation of a Bis-μ-Hydroxo-NiIII2 Complex

Hydroxide-bridged high-valent oxidants have been implicated as the active oxidants in methane monooxygenases and other oxidases that employ bimetallic clusters in their active site. To understand the properties of such species, bis-μ-hydroxo-Ni^II₂ complex ( 1 ) supported by a new dicarboxamidate ligand (N,N′-bis(2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-2,2-dimethylmalonamide) was prepared. Complex 1 contained a diamond core made up of two Ni^II ions and two bridging hydroxide ligands. Titration of the 1 e⁻ oxidant (NH₄)₂[Ce^IV(NO₃)₆] with 1 at −45 °C showed the formation of the high-valent species 2 and 3 , containing Ni^IINi^III and Ni^III₂ diamond cores, respectively, maintaining the bis-μ-hydroxide core. Both complexes were characterised using electron paramagnetic resonance, X-ray absorption, and electronic absorption spectroscopies. Density functional theory computations supported the spectroscopic assignments. Oxidation reactivity studies showed that bis-μ-hydroxide-Ni^III₂ 3 was capable of oxidizing substrates at −45 °C at rates greater than that of the most reactive bis-μ-oxo-Ni^III complexes reported to date.
