Complex Formation of 1,5-Bis(amidomethylsulfonyl)pentane with Copper(II) and Iron(III)

The state of the new antitubercular agent 1,5-bis(amidomethylsulfonyl)pentane in aqueous micellar solution of the nonionic surfactant Bridge 35 and its complexing properties toward copper(II) and iron(III) ions have been studied by spectrophotometry, pH potentiometry (25°C, variable ionic strength), and mathematical modeling. In the concentration range from 5.00 × 10^–5 to 1.00 × 10^–3 M in the presence of Bridge 35, the title compound exists in a neutral monomeric form. It forms 1: 2 mononuclear and 2: 2 binuclear complexes with copper(II) and 1: 1 and 1: 2 mononuclear and 2: 1 binuclear complexes with iron(III). The most favorable structures of 1,5-bis(amidomethylsulfonyl)pentane and its complexes have been simulated in terms of the density functional theory.     

Solvent Effects on the Electrochemical Behavior of Iron(III) Schiff Base Complex

Electrochemical reduction of Fe^IIILCl where L is a Schiff base has been investigated in various aprotic solvents. From a plot of the half wave potential E _1/2 for the reduction of these complexes vs. E _1/2 for the oxidation of ferrocene, the solvent–solute interactions were studied: the E _1/2 variation is found to be a function of Lewis-type acceptor–donor interactions. The diffusion coefficients D in the different solvents were also been determined by linear sweep voltammetry. The variation of D is discussed in terms of viscosity and dielectric constant.     

O-Tolyldithiocarbonate Complexes of Iron(II) and Iron(III)

Abstract

Reactions of O-tolyldithiocarbonate ligands, (o-, m-, and p-CH₃C₆H₄O)CS₂Na, with anhydrous FeCl₂ (1:2 molar ratio) and with FeCl₃ (1:1 and 1:3 molar ratio) yielded the complexes [{(CreO)CS₂}₂Fe] and [{(CreO)CS₂}_nFeCl_3–n] (Cre = o-, m-, and p-CH₃C₆H₄; n = 1 and 3), respectively. These complexes were reacted with nitrogen and phosphorus donor ligands in dichloromethane, which afforded the adducts corresponded to [{(CreO)CS₂}₂Fe.xL] and [(CreO)CS₂FeCl₂.xL] {x = 1, L = N₂C₁₂H₈; x = 2, L = NC₅H₅, P(C₆H₅)₃}. Elemental analyses and IR, UV-visible, and mass spectroscopic and magnetic studies indicated bidentate mode of bonding by dithiocarbonate ligands leading to sixcoordination around the iron atom as a consequence of Fe…Fe interaction in the complexes [{(CreO)CS₂}₂Fe] and [(CreO)CS₂FeCl₂]. The complexes exhibited antifungal activity. The fungicidal activity of the complexes has been tested by poisoned food technique using fungi Fusarium sp.

Iron(III) dihydrogenphosphate(I)

The structure of rhombohedral (R) iron(III) tris­[di­hydrogen­phosphate(I)] or iron(III) hypophosphite, Fe(H₂PO₂)₃, has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The structure consists of [001] chains of Fe³⁺ cations in octa­hedral sites with symmetry bridged by bidentate hypophosphite anions.     

Spin‐State‐Controlled Photodissociation of Iron(III) Azide to an Iron(V) Nitride Complex

The generation of iron(V) nitride complexes, which are targets of biomimetic chemistry, is reported. Temperature‐dependent ion spectroscopy shows that this reaction is governed by the spin‐state population of their iron(III) azide precursors and can be tuned by temperature. The complex [(MePy₂TACN)Fe(N₃)]²⁺ (MePy₂TACN=N ‐methyl‐N ,N ‐bis(2‐picolyl)‐1,4,7‐triazacyclononane) exists as a mixture of sextet and doublet spin states at 300 K, whereas only the doublet state is populated at 3 K. Photofragmentation of the sextet state complex leads to the reduction of the iron center. The doublet state complex photodissociates to the desired iron(V) nitride complex. To generalize these findings, we show results for complexes with cyclam‐based ligands.

A Non-Heme Iron(III) Complex with Porphyrin-like Properties That Catalyzes Asymmetric Epoxidation

In this report, we describe an iron(III) complex containing a carbazole-based tridentate ligand that catalyzes highly enantioselective asymmetric epoxidation of (E)-alkenes at room temperature. The non-heme iron(III) complex has a five-coordinated trigonal-bipyramidal structure, and its two-electron oxidized state has the similar electronic structure as that of iron porphyrins.     

Structural and Spectroscopic Characterization of Iron(III) Dioxoporphodimethene Complexes and Their Autoreduction to an Iron(II) Complex in Pyridine

Three iron complexes of the meso-dioxo derivative of octaethylporphryin (trans-H(2)OEPO(2)) were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Green ClFe(III)(trans-OEPO(2)).1.5C(6)H(6) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with a = 13.766(3) ?, b = 19.075(3) ?, c = 15.217(3) ?, beta = 99.87(2) degrees at 123 K with Z = 4. Refinement of 2712 reflections with F > 6.0sigma(F) and 223 parameters yielded R = 0.0624, R(w) = 0.0596. The iron complex contains a domed dioxoporphodimethene macrocyclic ligand. The observation of a five-coordinate iron(III) ion with an axial Fe-Cl distance of 2.232(2) ? and in-plane Fe-N distances averaging 2.082 ? is consistent with its high-spin (S = (5)/(2)) character. This monomer is readily converted to the green {Fe(III)(trans-OEPO(2))}(2)O using aqueous hydroxide. {Fe(III)(trans-OEPO(2))}(2)O crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 23.541(8) ?, b = 15.392(5) ?, c = 18.686(8) ?, and beta = 90.09(3) degrees at 294 K with Z = 8. Refinement of 3472 reflections with F > 6.0sigma(F) and 393 parameters yielded R = 0.0484, R(w) = 0.0527. The complex possesses a crystallographically imposed 2-fold symmetry axis that passes through the oxo ligand. The dioxoporphodimethene ligands within the molecule are roof-shaped and fold away from each other. The axial Fe-O distance is 1.749(1) ? with longer in-plane Fe-N distances (average 2.077 ?). The Fe-O-Fe angle of 165.4(2) degrees deviates significantly from linearity and is more acute than related porphyrin complexes. Pyridine solutions of either the iron(III) monomer or &mgr;-oxo dimer autoreduce over a period of days to give (py)(2)Fe(II)(trans-OEPO(2)). This red compound crystallizes in the space group P2(1) with a = 19.177(4) ?, b = 20.039(4) ?, c = 10.547(2) ?, and beta = 100.36(3) degrees at 130 K with Z = 2. Refinement of 5090 reflections with one restraint and 984 parameters yielded R1 = 0.0684, wR2 = 0.1763. The complex crystallizes with two distinct molecules in the asymmetric unit; each molecule contains a different degree of disorder with respect to the trans meso oxygen atoms (50/50, 71/29). Each independent molecule exhibits severe ruffling of the macrocycle. The six coordinate iron(II) center is diamagnetic. The axial Fe-N(pyridine) distances average 1.98 ?, and the in-plane Fe-N(pyrrole) distances average 1.95 ?. A common trend observed for the dioxoporphodimethene macrocycle in all of these structures is an elongation toward the trans oxidized meso carbons. These complexes were originally prepared as cis and trans isomeric mixtures that can be enriched in the trans isomer by fractional crystallization. This is evident in their distinctive (1)H NMR spectra. In addition, these compounds are characterized by electron impact mass spectrometry and UV-visible, ESR, and infrared spectroscopies.     

Direct Esterification of Carboxylic Acids with Alcohols Catalyzed by Iron(III) Acetylacetonate Complex

Direct condensation of carboxylic acids and alcohols with electronic, steric, and functional group variations was carried out using the environmentally benign, moisture-stable, inexpensive, and recoverable iron(III) acetylacetonate [Fe(acac)₃] as catalyst (5 mol%). This iron salt efficiently catalyzed the esterification of several primary and secondary alcohols in refluxing xylene, without the need for a dehydration reagent. The chemoselectivity of the proposed protocol was demonstrated by the selective esterification of primary alcohol functionality in racemic 1-phenylethane-1,2-diol with benzoic acid. The esterification was also applicable to unmasked α -hydroxyacid, guasiaromatic, heterocyclic, and N-protected amino acids.

Complex Formation Equilibria of Iron(III) With 2-Hydroxy-3- Pyridinol and 2-Mercapto-3-Pyridinol. Spectrophotometry Determination of Iron(III) In Multivitamins

ABSTRACT

The complex equilibria of iron(III) with 2-hydroxy-3-pyridinol (HHP), and 2-mercapto-3-pyridinol (MHP) were studied spectrophotometrically in 40% (v/v) ethanol and an ionic strength of 0.1M (NaCIO₄). The complexation reactions were demonstrated and characterized using graphical logarithmic analysis of the absorbance pH-graphs. After considering all the different parameters a simple, rapid, sensitive and selective method for spectrophotometric determination of trace levels of iron(III) was proposed based on the formation of (Fe -MHP) complex at pH 2.5 (λ_max = 640 nm, ? = l×10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?). The interference of a large number of foreign ions was investigated. The method has been applied successfully for the determination of iron content in some multivitamins with mineral preparations and infant milk products.
