Chromium (II) Silylamides

Novel, generally highly oxygen sensitive (?hemi”?) Cl? Cr? N(SiMe₃)₂(L)_n, I , and Cr[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂LL′, II , were prepared with L, L′ = (a) aliphatic and cyclic ethers (including polyfunctional ligands) (b) alkyl cyanides, (c) aromatic tertiary amines or (d) mixtures of a and c. The products are characterized by elemental analysis and chemical reactions. Representative reflectance spectra are presented. Chemical and physical properties are strongly dependent on the nature of L, L′ and oxygen sensitivity, thermal stability, solubility and reactivity of the Cr? N linkage (in reactions with surface ) could be regulated by varying the coordinated ligands. Empirical reactivity series for various LL′ combinations and ligand lability interrelationships were established. Behavior of some complexes in Cr(II) alkoxide synthesis, ring opening polymerizations, and in pyrolysis reactions is discussed.     

Pivalate Bridged High Spin Manganese(II) and Iron(II) Polymers

Antiferromagnetic Mn(II) polymers of general formula {[L₂Mn(μ-OOCCMe₃)₂][Mn₂(μ-OOCCMe₃)₄]}_n (L = 1,2-phenylenediamine (3) and 4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylenediamine (4)) were synthesized from [Mn(μ-OOCCMe₃)₂(HOEt)] _n (1) polymer and arenediamines in MeCN solution. The tetranuclear cluster Fe₄(μ₃-OH)₂(μ-OOCCMe₃)₄(η²-OOCCMe₃)₂(EtOH)₆ (5) was prepared by reacting FeSO₄·7H₂O with KOOCCMe₃ in EtOH and was used as starting pivalate iron(II) agent in further reactions. The thermolysis of 5 in MeCN was shown to result in a ferromagnetic polymer [Fe(μ-OOCCMe₃)₂] _n (6) containing tetrahedral iron(II) atoms. Cluster 5 was found to react with o-phenylenediamine giving rise to ferrimagnetic polymer [Fe(μ-OOCCMe₃)₂(HOEt)]_n (7). The reaction 7 with 2,6-diaminopyridine in MeCN results in binuclear antiferromagnetic complex (2,6-(NH₂)₂C₅H₃N)₂Fe₂(μ-OOCCMe₃)₄· 4MeCN (8). However the reaction of 4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylenediamine with polymer 7 yields a polymer {[L₂Fe(μ-OOCCMe₃)₂][Fe₂ (μ-OOCCMe₃)₄]} _n (9), which is an analogue of the manganese polymer 4. All newly synthesized compounds were characterized by the by X-ray diffraction studies and magnetic measurement. Dedicated to Professor Ilya I. Moiseev in recognition of his outstanding contribution to cluster chemistry

Two mixed-valence Mn(III)Mn(II) complexes and a homo-valence Mn(II) trinuclear manganese complex of stoichiometry Mn(III)Mn(II)Mn(III)(5-Cl-Hsaladhp)(2)(AcO)(4)(MeOH)(2).4CH(3)OH (1a), Mn(III)Mn(II)Mn(III) (Hsaladhp)(2)(AcO)(2)(5-Cl-Sal)(2)(thf)(2) (3a) and Mn(II)Mn(II)Mn(II) (AcO)(6)(pybim)(2) (1b) where H(3)saladhp is a tridentate Schiff base ligand and pybim a neutral bidentate donor ligand, have been structurally characterized by using X-ray crystallography. The structurally characterized mixed-valence complexes have strictly 180 degrees Mn(III)-Mn(II)-Mn(III) angles as required by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The complexes are valence trapped with two terminal Mn(III) ions showing Jahn-Teller distortion along the acetate or salicylate-Mn(III)-X axis. The Mn.Mn separation is 3.511 ? and 3.507 ? respectively. The mixed-valence complexes have S = (3)/(2) ground state and the homovalence complex S = (5)/(2), with small antiferromagnetic exchange J couplings, -5.6 and -1.8 cm(-1), respectively, while the powder ESR spectra at 4 K show a broad low field signal with g approximately 4.3 for Mn(III)Mn(II)Mn(III) and a broad temperature-dependent signal at g = 2 for Mn(II)Mn(II)Mn(II).

Dimeric Complexes of Manganese(II) and Nickel(II) Hexafluoroacetylacetonates with Pyrazole-Containing Nitronylnitroxyl Radicals

Reactions of Ni(II) and Mn(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonates with pyrazole-containing nitronylnitroxyl radicals (L) result in dimeric heterospin complexes [M(hfac)₂L]₂or [M(hfac)₂L]₂· C₆H₆. The paramagnetic ligands in the centrosymmetric binuclear molecules function as a bridge, with the nitroxyl O atom being bound to one metal and the imine N atom of the pyrazole ring to the other metal atom. The metal environment is a cis-octahedron with short M–O_NOdistances, which specifies a strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the lone electrons of paramagnetic centers in M–O–N< exchange clusters.

Manganese(II) complexes with diethylamine in aqueous solutions

Interaction between MnCl₂ and diethylamine (DEA) in aqueous solutions has been studied by UV, IR, and EPR spectroscopy as part of the design and research program on models of natural photosystems. The composition of the precipitate for comparable concentrations of reagents and solute oxygen has been investigated. Mn(II) was found to be oxidized with oxygen to give MnO₂·H₂O as a precipitate. In the solution over the precipitate, Mn(III) complexes with DEA are formed; the complex molecule has four and six amine molecules in the coordination sphere.     

Thermal Analysis of Manganese(II) Complexes With Glycine

The thermal decomposition behaviour of the manganese(II) complexes with glycine: Mn(gly)Cl₂(H₂O)₂, Mn(gly)₂Cl₂, Mn(gly)Br₂(H₂O)₂, Mn(gly)₂Br₂(H₂O)₂ was investigated by means of TG-DTG-DTA, Hi-Res-TA and DSC techniques. The evolved gas analysis was carried out by means of the coupled TG-FTIR system. Heating of the complexes results first in the release of water molecules. Next, the multi-stage decomposition process with degradation of glycine ligand occurs. Water, carbon dioxide and ammonia were detected in the gaseous products of the complexes decomposition. The temperature of NH₃ evolution from the complexes is higher than from free glycine. The final residue in the air atmosphere is Mn₂O₃ which transforms into Mn₃O₄ at 930°C. In a nitrogen atmosphere, the complexes decompose into MnO. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Manganese(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of 1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)butane

The title complexes, catena‐poly[[[diaquadiethanolmanganese(II)]‐μ‐1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)butane‐κ²O:O′] dinitrate 1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)butane solvate], {[Mn(C₂H₆O)₂(C₂₈H₂₈O₂P₂)(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂·C₂₈H₂₈O₂P₂}_n, (I), and catena‐poly[[[diaquadiethanolcobalt(II)]‐μ‐1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)butane‐κ²O:O′] dinitrate 1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)butane solvate], {[Co(C₂H₆O)₂(C₂₈H₂₈O₂P₂)(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂·C₂₈H₂₈O₂P₂}_n, (II), are isostructural and centrosymmetric, with the M^II ions at centres of inversion. The coordination geometry is octahedral, with each metal ion coordinated by two trans ethanol molecules, two trans water molecules and two bridging 1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)butane ligands which link the coordination centres to form one‐dimensional polymeric chains. Parallel chains are linked by hydrogen bonds to uncoordinated 1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)butane molecules, which are bisected by a centre of inversion. Further hydrogen bonds, weak C—H...O interactions to nitrate anions, and weak C—H...π interactions serve to stabilize the structure. This study reports a development of the coordination chemistry of bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)alkanes, with the first reported structures of complexes of the first‐row transition metals with 1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)butane.

Manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes with 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde

The complexes Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) with 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and UV spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction patterns, magnetic susceptibility, thermal gravimetric analysis, conductivity and also solubility measurements in water, methanol and DMF solution at 298 K. They are polycrystalline compounds with various formula and different ratio of metal ion:ligand. Their formula are following: [MnL₂(H₂O)](NO₃)₂·2H₂O, [CoL₂](NO₃)₂·3H₂O, [NiL₂](NO₃)₂·3H₂O, [CuL₂](NO₃)₂·H₂O and [ZnL₃](NO₃)₂, where L = C₁₀H₆O₃. The coordination of metal ions is through oxygen atoms present in 4-position of γ-pyrone ring and of aldehyde group of ligand. Chelates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) obey Curie–Weiss law and they are high-spin complexes with the weak ligand fields. The thermal stability of analyzed complexes was studied in air at 293–1,173 K. On the basis of the thermoanalytical curves, it appears that thermal stability of anhydrous analysed chelates changed following: Cu (423 K) < Zn (438 K) ~ Co (440 K) < Ni (468 K). The gaseous products of thermal decomposition of those compounds in air atmosphere are following: CO₂, CO, NO₂, N₂O, hydrocarbons and in case of hydrates also water. The molar conductance data confirm that the all studied complexes are 1:2 electrolytes in DMF solution.
