Crystal structure and spectroscopic properties of a new five-coordinate mixed-ligand nickel(II) complex with a macrocyclic ligand: [Ni(trans[14]diene)SCN]ClO4 (trans[14]diene = 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene)

A new five-coordinate nickel(II) complex of a trans[14]diene macrocyclic ligand has been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography, u.v. and i.r. spectroscopy. The coordination environment of the nickel(II) ion is a distorted square pyramid with the nickel(II) ion deviating from the level plane 0.25 Å and the SCN ligand at the apical side.     

Synthesis of Cu(II) complexes containing 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene (L) and diisobutyldithiophosphinate or isobutylxanthate. Crystal Structure of [CuL](iso-Bu2PS2)2

The reaction of Cu(II) complex with 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotet-radeca-4,11-diene (L) and iso-Bu₂PS₂⁻ or iso-BuOCS₂⁻ anions gave stable paramagnetic compounds [CuL](iso-Bu₂PS₂)₂ (I) (μ_eff = 1.77 μB) and [CuL](iso-BuOCS₂)₂ (II) (μ_eff = 1.76 μB). According to X-ray diffraction, the crystal structure of I is composed of discrete centrosymmetric complex cations [CuL]²⁺ and iso-Bu₂Ps₂⁻ anions. The CuN₄ coordination unit is a square. The Cu...S distance (iso-Bu₂PS₂⁻) equal to 3.047 ? attests to possible S-coordination. Compounds I and II were studied by EPR.     

Kinetics of the Base-Catalysed Isomerization of trans-meso-CH3Co(H2O)L2+ (L = 5,7,7,12,14,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene)

The isomerization of the complex trans-meso-CH₃Co(H₂O)L²⁺ (L = 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene) to trans-primary, rac-CH₃Co(H₂O)L²⁺ has been investigated from pH range 7.11 to 8.09 in aqueous solution. The reaction rate law has been determined as: -d[meso-CH₃Co(H₂O)L²⁺]/dt = k_OH [OH^?][meso-CH₃Co(H₂O)L²⁺], where k_OH = 600 ± 10 M^?1s^?1 at 25 °C and μ = 0.5 M. The activation parameters of the reaction were also studied with ΔH^± = 19.1 ± 0.9 Kcal mol^?1 and ΔS^± = 18.0 ± 0.8 cal K^?1mol^?1. A mechanism that involves a secondary NH inversion is proposed.     

[M(L)2(NCS)2] Complexes (M = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II); L = Hydrazide of Diphenylphosphinylacetic Acid)

Dithiocyanates of bis(hydrazidediphenylphosphinylacetic acid) M(II), where M is Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn were synthesized. Their magnetic properties were studied. All compounds were paramagnetic monomers with pseudooctahedral stereochemistry, except for the Zn(II) complex.     

Clathrate formation in the [M(4-MePy)2 (NCS)2]-4-MePy systems,where M=Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II); 4-MePy=4-methylpyridine

A number of complexes [M(4-MePy)_n (NCS)₂], where M=Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II); n=2 or 4 have been synthesized and phase diagrams [M(4-MePy)₂(NCS)₂]-4-MePy have been studied. The forming compounds have been obtained and described with the help of IR-spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The structure of a molecular type with variable section channels, filled by two types guest-molecules (by a water molecule in the narrow part of the channel and by two 4-methylpyridine molecules in the broad part of the channel, with a total ratio guest: host being 1:1) for [Cd(4-MePy)₄ (NCS)₂]·0.67(4-MePy)·0.33H₂O has been defined by X-ray method. This clathrate is isostructural (X-ray powder diffractogram) to the anhydrous compound [Cd(4-MePy)₄ (NCS)₂]·0.67(4-MePy).     

Syntheses, structures, and properties of trinuclear complexes [M(bpca)(2)(M'(hfac)(2))(2)], constructed with the complexed bridging ligand [M(bpca)(2)] [M, M' = Ni(II), Mn(II); Cu(II), Mn(II); Fe(II), Mn(II); Ni(II), Fe(II); and Fe(II), Fe(II); Hbpca = Bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amine, Hhfac = Hexafluoroacetylacetone

Five trinuclear complexes [M(bpca)(2)(M'(hfac)(2))(2)] (where MM'(2) = NiMn(2), CuMn(2), FeMn(2), NiFe(2), and FeFe(2); Hbpca = bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amine; and Hhfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone) were synthesized almost quantitatively by the reaction of [M(bpca)(2)] and [M'(hfac)(2)] in 1:2 molar ratio, and their structures and magnetic properties were investigated. Three complexes, with M' = Mn, crystallize in the same space group, Pna2(1), whereas two complexes, with M' = Fe, crystallize in P4(1), and complexes within each set are isostructural to one another. In all complexes, [M(bpca)(2)] acts as a bis-bidentate bridging ligand to form a linear trinuclear complex in which three metal ions are arranged in the manner M'-M-M'. The central metal ion is in a strong ligand field created by the N(6) donor set, and hence the Fe(II) in the [Fe(bpca)(2)] moiety is in a low-spin state. The terminal metal ions (M') are surrounded by O(6) donor sets with a moderate ligand field, which leads to the high-spin configuration of Fe(II). Three metal ions in all complexes are almost collinear, and metal-metal distances are ca. 5.5 A. The magnetic behavior of NiMn(2) and NiFe(2) shows a weak ferromagnetic interaction between the central Ni(II) ion and the terminal Mn(II) or Fe(II) ions. In these complexes, sigma-spin orbitals of the central Ni(II) ion and those of terminal metal ions have different symmetry about a 2-fold rotation axis through the Ni-N(amide)-M'(terminal) atoms, and this results in orthogonality between the neighboring sigma-spin orbitals and thus ferromagnetic interactions.     

Nickel(II) compounds of a tri-amine mono-imine macrocycle: Preparations and structures of (5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-4-ene)nickel(II) compounds

Reduction of one imine function of (5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene)nickel(II) with 1 molar proportion of NaBH₄ produces as the major product the tri-amine-mono-imine macrocyclic cation (5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-4-ene)nickel(II), Ni(tm)]²⁺. Pairs of isomeric singlet ground state perchlorate and tetrachlorozincate salts of [Ni(tm)]²⁺ were prepared and the structures determined for the 1RS,8SR,11SR,12RS (labeled as β) and 1RS,8RS,11RS,12SR (labeled as α) tetrachlorozincate salts. Triplet ground state trans-β-[Ni(tm)(NCS)₂] and catena-trans-{β-Ni(tm)-NC-Ni(CN)₂-CN-}_n·2nH₂O have the macrocycle in planar coordination and α-[{Ni(tm)}₂(C₂O₄)](ClO₄)₂ has the macrocycle folded. With pentane-2,4-dione the compounds [β-Ni(tm)]·[α-Ni(tm)(acac)](ClO₄)₃ and [Ni(teta)]·[α-Ni(tm)(acac)](ClO₄)₃ (teta = C-meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) with both square-planar and octahedral Ni(II) cations were prepared and the latter was structurally characterized. Isomerisation in solution of metastable α-[Ni(tm)]²⁺ to stable β-[Ni(tm)]²⁺ is extremely slow, even in base.     

Copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(III) complexes of the macrocyclic ligand C-meso-7,14-diphenyl-5,6-butano-12,13-butano-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene

Summary Metal complexes of the macrocyclic tetraaza ligand C-meso-7,14-diphenyl-5,6-butano-12,13-butano-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene (L) are described. The copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes, isolated as their perchlorate salts, are 4-coordinate species. Several cobalt(III) complexes,trans-[CoLX₂]⁺(X = Cl^–, Br^–, NO ₂ ^– or N ₃ ^– have also been characterised. The most probable stereochemistry of the ligand in the metal complexes is the C-meso-N-meso arrangements of the chiral centres. The N-meso stereochemistry leads to the bulky phenyl groups lying in equatorial positions. I.r. and d-d spectra are reported for the various complexes described.     

ESR study of Jahn-Teller distortions and the structure of Cu(II) complexes in [Cu(bipy)2X](ClO4) and [Cu(phen)2X](ClO4)

The Cu(II) complexes in [Cu(bipy)₂X](ClO₄) and [Cu(phen)₂X](ClO₄) were studied by ESR spectroscopy at =9.8 GHz and optical absorption at 7000–20,000 cm^–1. The axially symmetrical g factors, corresponding to the g, were established for the distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination of Cu(II) with C _2v symmetry. Analysis of the possible vibrational distortions of the complex showed that the axial symmetry of the g factor is a consequence of orientational averaging realized for an electronic vibrational state with a two-well adiabatic potential at the final height of the barrier and vibrational frequency greater than the ESR frequency.Slovakian Technical Institute and Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Siberian Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

Nickel(II) complexes of the macrocyclic ligand 5-nitromethyl-5,7,12,14-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene containing a pendant nitro group

The reaction of MeNO2 in the presence of Et3N with the nickel(II) complex of C-meso-5,7,12,14-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene gives the nickel(II) complex of the 5-nitromethyl derivative containing a pendant nitro group. The complex is octahedral with the nitro group coordinated to nickel(II) via the aci-nitro tautomer. Although the complex contains one water molecule, six-coordination occurs by interaction with a neighbouring CH NO2- group in a polymeric structure. Recrystallisation from aqueous ammonia gives a blue paramagnetic complex with lattice ammonia. Addition of HClO4 to the blue paramagnetic hydrate gives the orange-brown diperchlorate salt with a pendant nitro group. This salt displays a planar octahedral equilibrium in aqueous solution, NiL+2H2O NiL(H2O)2, with K=0.28 at 40degC. The thermodynamic parameters for this equilibrium are DeltaH=-59+2kJmol-1and DeltaS=-200+5JK-1mol-1. The nitro group can be reduced with Zn/HCl to give the amino derivative. The configurations of the complexes are considered and the spectroscopic results discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of the one-dimensional linear chain structure cyano-bridged complex [Cu(teta)(H2O)2][Cu(teta) Fe(CN)6]ClO4·2H2O (teta=5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacylotetradecane)

Reaction of either K₃[Fe(CN)₆] or K₄[Fe(CN)₆] with a macrocyclic Cu^II complex, [Cu(teta)](ClO₄)₂ (teta = 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacylotetradecane), in aqueous solution gave the same product as shown by spectroscopic and physicochemical characterisation. The crystal structure of the complex shows that it is a one-dimensional linear chain type heterobinuclear Fe^III–Cu^II polymer. The unit is composed of a [Cu(teta)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ cationic complex, a Fe^III–Cu^II alternate linear chain unit, a ClO ₄ ^– ion and four water molecules. The Cu atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral arrangement by four nitrogen atoms from one teta ligand and two nitrogen atoms of the bridging cyanide groups. The Cu—N bond distances involving the cyanide bridges, 2.522(7) and 2.608(7)Å, respectively, indicate weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the Fe^III and Cu^II atoms.     

DSC study of the phase transitions in [Ni(D2O)6](ClO4)2 and [Ni(H2O)6](ClO4)2

DSC measurements were carried out for [Ni(H₂O)₆](ClO₄)₂ (sampleH) and [Ni(D₂O)₆](ClO₄)₂ (sampleD) in the temperature range 300–380 K. For both compounds two anomalies on the DSC curves were detected. The results for sampleH are compared to those previously obtained using adiabatic calorimetry method. For both compounds studied in this work the high-temperature transition appears at the same temperature while the low-temperature one is shifted towards higher temperatures in sampleD. Disorder connected with H₂O or D₂O groups is suggested in the intermediate phase between the low- and high-temperature transitions.     

Octadecanuclear cluster or 1D polymer with [[ML](2)Nb(CN)(8)](n) motifs as a function of [ML] (M = Ni(II), n = 6; M = Mn(II), n = infinity; L = macrocycle)

A nanosized octadecaheteronuclear aggregate, [[NiL(2)](12)[Nb(CN)(8)](6)(H(2)O)(6)], and a 1-D coordination polymer, [[MnL(1)](2)[Nb(CN)(8)](H(2)O)]( infinity ), have been obtained by self-assembly between the octacyanometalate [Nb(CN)(8)](4)(-) and [ML](2+) complexes. The dimensionality of the supramolecular architectures was found to be controlled by the [ML] module for which the equatorial coordination sites are blocked by a macrocyclic ligand. The crystal structures and magnetic properties for both the compounds are described.     

Thermal properties of polycrystalline [Mn(NH3)6](ClO4)2

A flavor precursor α-ionyl-β-d-glucoside (IG) was synthesized by Koenigs–Knorr method, and its structure was characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and electro spray ionization mass spectroscopy (MS). Thermal degradation behaviors of the intermediate α-ionyl-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucoside (IAG) and IG were analyzed by thermogravimetry and online pyrolysis (Py)-gas chromatography–MS. Flavor release property of IG was investigated with cigarettes as the carrier. The results indicated that fracture temperature of glycosidic bond was about 200 °C for IAG, and was about 190 °C for IG. Py of IAG and IG could generate several aroma compounds such as megastigmatriene, α-ionol, α-ionone, and 3-oxo-α-ionol. IG added in cigarettes could be pyrolyzed to release α-ionol, α-ionone, and 3-oxo-α-ionone, and increase the release amount of megastigmatrienone in mainstream smoke during smoking. The release amount of characteristic flavor components in mainstream smoke remain stable after the cigarette sample with IG placed in standard condition for 30 days, and there was no significant difference in the single puff release amounts, which confirmed the flavor release stability and uniformity of IG under heating treatment.     

Complexes of 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime (dapdoH2). Crystal structures of [M(dapdoH2)2](ClO4)2 (M = Cu and Mn)

The family of compounds [M(dapdoH₂)₂](ClO₄)₂ (dapdoH₂ = diacetylpyridine dioxime; M = Mn, Co, Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn) were prepared and their properties studied and compared with the literature. The X-ray crystal structures of [Mn(dapdoH₂)₂](ClO₄)₂, (1), and [Cu(dapdoH₂)₂](ClO₄)₂, (5), are reported. Both exhibit the expected coordination sphere with six nitrogen atoms coordinated to the central metal, but each shows deformation from pseudo-octahedral geometry. In the case of (1), this takes the form of a significant tilting of one ligand, while in (5) the ligands are twisted toward each other, reducing the dihedral angle between them to 72°. In both cases, hydrogen bonding between the perchlorate ions and the oxime O–H groups links the units into chains. Attempts to prepare and crystallize the corresponding anions led to isolation of the oxidized products.
