Synthesis and electrochemical properties of purple manganese(III) and red titanium(IV) phthalocyanine complexes octa-substituted at non-peripheral positions with pentylthio groups

The synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of octapentylthiophthalocyaninato manganese(III) acetate (4) and octapentylthiophthalocyaninato titanium(IV) oxide (5) complexes are reported. The complexes have an unusual purple (4) and red (5) colouration since the Q-band is shifted to the near infra red region with Q-band maxima at 893 nm and 808 nm in dichloromethane for 4 and 5, respectively. The structures of the complexes were confirmed by elemental analysis and interpretation of their spectroscopic data, including 2D NMR. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the Mn complex (4) showed four quasi reversible couples. The reduction processes are attributed to Mn^IIIPc⁻²/Mn^IIPc⁻² and Mn^IIPc⁻²/Mn^IIPc⁻³ and the oxidation processes to Mn^IVPc⁻²/Mn^IIIPc⁻² and Mn^IVPc⁻¹/Mn^IVPc⁻². The processes were confirmed by spectroelectrochemistry. A well-defined spectrum of the rare Mn^IVPc⁻² species is reported. The CV of the Ti complex (5) showed two well-resolved reduction processes due to Ti^IVPc⁻²/Ti^IIIPc⁻² and Ti^IIIPc⁻²/Ti^IIPc⁻². However, oxidation processes of the complex revealed adsorption behaviour and resulted in decomposition on electrolysis using spectroelectrochemistry.     

Kinetics and mechanisms of the redox reaction of hexaaquotitanium(III) and the ethylenediamine tetraacetato titanium(III) complex by aqueous solutions of bromine

At 25°C, I = 1.0 M (CF₃SO₃⁻Li⁺+CF₃SO₃H), [H⁺] = 0.034–0.274 M and λ = 453 nm, the rate equation for the oxidation of Ti(H₂O), ₆³⁺ by bromine was found to be: −d/[Br₂]T/dt=kK/[Br₂][Ti^III]/[H⁺]+K+kK/[Br₃⁻][Ti^III]/[H⁺+K, where k = 9.2 × 10⁻³ M ⁻¹ s ⁻¹ and K = 4.5 × 10⁻³ M. At [H⁺] = 1.0 M, [Br⁻] = 0.05–0.4 M, the apparent second-order rate constant decreases as [Br⁻] increases.

The pH-dependence of the oxidation of Ti^III-edta by bromine is interpreted in terms of the change in identity of the Ti^III-edta species as the pH of the reaction medium changes. The second-order rate constants were fitted using a non-linear least-square computer program with (1/k₀^edta)² weighting into an equation of the form: k₀^edta =k₁+k₂K₁[H⁺]⁻¹+k₃K₁K₂[H⁺]^−2/1+K₁[H⁺[H⁺⁻¹+K₁K₂[H⁺]⁻², with K₁ and K₂ fixed as earlier determined at 9.55 × 10⁻³ and 2.29 × 10⁻⁹ M, respectively, for the oxidation of bromine. k₁=k₂=(3.1±0.32)×10³M⁻¹s⁻¹ k₃=(2.3±0.45)×10⁶N⁻¹s⁻¹.

It is proposed that these electron transfer reactions proceed by univalent changes with the production of Br₂^.− as a transient intermediate. An outer-sphere mechanism is proposed for these reactions. The homonuclear exchange rate for Ti^III-edta+Ti^IV-edta is estimated at 32 M⁻¹ s⁻¹.     

Synthesis, crystal structures and catalytic oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons by oxovanadium(V) complexes of aminebis(phenolate) ligands

The coordination chemistry of two aminebis(phenolate) ligands (H₂L¹ and H₂L²) around vanadium(V) is described. Vanadium(V) oxo complexes (1, 2 and 3) of all the ligands were obtained readily by the reaction between the ligand precursors and [VO(acac)₂]. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis showed that all of the complexes are penta-coordinated with trigonal bipyramidal geometry in NO₄ coordination environment. The tripodal nitrogen atom of the respective ligands and monodentate alkoxo group occupy apical positions. These complexes structurally resemble very closely to the active sites of vanadium haloperoxidases (VHPO) and were found to catalyze the oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid and isomers of xylene to the corresponding hydroxy acids with turn over numbers ranging between 134 and 188. Based on mass spectra the mechanism of the catalytic process was proposed to proceed through the formation of hydroxo–hydroperoxo intermediate, which is different from halo peroxidase reactions.

双环金属铱(Ⅲ)异腈配合物的二阶非线性光学性质

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)方法对双环金属Ir(III)异腈配合物的非线性光学(NLO)性质进行计算研究。用B3PW91(UB3PW91)(金属原子采用LANL2DZ基组,非金属原子采用6-31G*基组)方法对配合物进行几何结构优化。在优化构型基础上,采用B3PW91(UB3PW91)和B3LYP(UB3LYP)方法计算了配合物的第一超极化率(βtot),并用CAM-B3LYP(UCAM-B3LYP)(金属原子采用LANL2DZ基组,非金属原子采用6-31G**基组)方法模拟配合物的吸收光谱。结果表明,主配体的取代基(R1)和副配体的取代基(R2)对第一超极化率值贡献不大。配合物发生氧化还原反应,电荷转移方式增多,电荷转移程度增大,使βtot值显著增加,其中1a+([(C∧N)2Ir(CNR)2]+(R=CH3))发生氧化反应和还原反应的βtot值分别增大了75倍和144倍。因此,这类双环金属铱(III)异腈配合物的氧化还原反应可以有效地调节其二阶NLO性质。     

Alkoxo, chlorido, and methyl derivatives of oxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes with tetradentate [O3N]-type ligands

Dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex [MoO₂(Heg)₂] (H₂eg = 1,2-ethanediol) reacts with phenolic ligand precursors tris(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)amine (H₃L^Me) and tris(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)amine (H₃L^tBu) to form oxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of type [MoO(L^R) (Heg)]. The Heg ligand can be replaced by other alcohols (i.e. 2-aminoethanol, 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol or allyl alcohol) in the reaction at refluxing toluene or at neat alcohol. Treatment of [MoO(L^R)(Heg)] with Me₃SiCl yields corresponding chlorido complexes [MoO(L^R)Cl]. These are also formed in the reaction of H₃L^R with [MoO₂Cl₂(dmf)₂]. The reaction of [MoO(L^R)Cl] with MeMgI yields air-stable monomethyl derivatives [MoO(L^R)(Me)]. X-ray analyses of [MoO(L^tBu)X] (X = Heg, 2-methyl-2-aminopropanolate anion or Cl) reveal that the ligand L^R has a tetradentate coordination through three oxygen donors and one nitrogen donor, which is located trans to the terminal oxo group. The sixth coordination site is occupied by an oxygen donor, a chlorido ligand or a methyl group.     

Magnetic characterization, synthesis and crystal structure of a heterodinuclear CuGd Schiff base complex bridged by the two phenolic oxygen atoms

A novel heterodinuclear complex formed by the reaction of gadolinium nitrate with Schiff base complex of copper(II) has been synthesized and characterized. Preparation, crystal structure and magnetic properties of the heterodinuclear complex, LCu(Me₂CO)Gd(NO₃)₃, (L=(N,N′-bis(2,3-dihydroxybenzylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane) are reported. The complex is consisting of a deca-coordinated Gd^III ion which is bridged to four coordinated Cu^II via both phenolate oxygen atoms of the L Schiff base ligand. The average CuGd separation is 3.475(2) Å. There is also one non-coordinating acetone molecule in the crystal structure. The magnetic susceptibility of the complex was measured over the range 4.5–350 K and the observed data were successfully simulated by the equation based on the spin-Hamiltonian operator H=−JS_Cu·S_Gd. The values of the intrachain interaction parameters have been deduced from the magnetic data: exchange integral J(Cu–Gd)=7.3 cm⁻¹, g_Cu=2.17, g_Gd=2.09. This indicates a weak ferromagnetic spin exchange interaction between Cu^II and Gd^III ions. The nature of the magnetic super-exchange interaction of the title compound is compared with similar Cu^IIGd^III heterodinuclear complexes.

New studies on the apparent allyl rotation in scorpion-like palladium complexes. The influence of non-directly bonded groups. X-ray molecular structures of [Pd(η-2-Me-C3H4)L]TfO, L=bpzmArOMe and bpz*mCy

New cationic 2-Me-allylpalladium complexes were prepared with the N,N-donor chelate ligands bis(pyrazol-1-yl)(R)methane (R=anisol-2-yl, bpzmArOMe; 2-hydroxyphenyl, bpzmArOH) and bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)(R)methane (R=anisol-2-yl, bpz*mArOMe; cyclohexyl, bpz*mCy and ferrocenyl, bpz*mFc). The bpz′mR ligands adopt a rigid boat conformation after coordination to the Pd center and the R group is in the axial position of the metallacycle. The new complexes exhibit two isomeric forms in solution that differ in the relative orientation of the 2-Me-allyl group with respect to the bpz′mRPd fragment. The fluxional behavior of the new complexes, mainly in the context of the isomerization process, has been analyzed. Conclusions concerning the influence on this isomerization of the R group and the pyrazole substituents in positions 3 and 5 are discussed. The isomerization process was found to be affected by the presence of coordinating anions (Cl⁻) or by a change in the complex concentration. The molecular structures of the complexes [Pd(η³-2-Me-C₃H₄)(bpzmArOMe)]TfO and [Pd(η³-2-Me-C₃H₄)(bpz*mCy)]TfO have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies.     

Vanadium(V) complexes of a chelating dianionic [ONNO]-type amine bis(phenolate) ligand: synthesis and solid state and solution structures

The reaction between VO(OR)(3) (R = (i)()Pr, (t)()Bu, CH(2)CF(3)) and the chelating dianionic bis(phenoxy)amine ligand [ONNO]H(2) affords a mixture of two isomers (A and B in a ratio A:B approximately 3:1) formulated as VO(OR)[ONNO] (1a-c) (R = (i)()Pr (1a), (t)Bu (1b), CH(2)CF(3) (1c)). Multinuclear and NOESY NMR spectroscopy experiments were able to determine the structure in solution of the complexes. Both isomers have the symmetry-related phenolate groups in a trans configuration, the difference arising from the different configuration of the oxo and alkoxo ligands being located either cis (in isomer A) or trans (in isomer B) to the tripodal amino nitrogen donor atom and the (dimethylamino)ethyl sidearm respectively for the oxo and the alkoxo ligands. Crystals of isomer A (cis-1a) were obtained, and the structure determination confirms the arrangement of the ligands around the vanadium center. Analogue complexes VO(X)[ONNO] (X = Cl (2); X = N(3) (3)) were prepared by reacting equimolar amount of [ONNO]H(2) and VO(X)(n)(OR)(3-n) (X = Cl, R = Et, n = 1; X = N(3), R = (i)Pr, n = 2) at ambient temperature. Compounds 2 and 3 were further characterized by NMR spectroscopy experiments and X-ray structure determination. For both 2 and 3, a single isomer is obtained, having a trans-(O,O) configuration for the phenolate groups and a trans configuration of the oxo ligand in respect to the tripodal amino nitrogen donor atom. Finally, complex 2 could also be obtained by chlorination of 1a or 3 using a large excess of ClSiMe(3) in refluxing toluene.     

O and N NMR studies of the Co(II), Cu(II) and Mn(II) complexes of glycine in aqueous solution

The ¹⁷O and ¹⁴N paramagnetic relaxation rates and chemical shifts of glycine as well as of water, in aqueous solutions of Co(II), Cu(II), and Mn(II) were measured as a function of pH, temperature and metal ion concentration; the relaxation results were fitted to a theoretical equation linking the Swift-Connick equation to the stability constants of all major complexes in equilibrium. As a result, the stability constants of all major complexes were determined, and from the temperature-dependent measurements the thermodynamic parameters for some of these complexes were also calculated. In addition to the bidentate complexes ML⁺, ML₂ and ML₃⁻, monodentate complexes of the type MHL²⁺ and M(HL)₂²⁺, mixed complexes of the type MHL₂⁺ and MHL₃ were also considered. In the case of the Cu(II)-glycine system at pH> 12 two additional species were considered, namely ML₂(OH)⁻ and ML₂(OH)₂²⁻, suggested by the drastic reduction of the paramagnetic broadening in that pH range.     

Regioselective hydrophenylation of olefins catalyzed by an Ir(III) complex

The novel, anti-Markovnikov, arylation of olefins with benzene to produce straight-chain alkylbenzenes with higher selectivity than branched alkylbenzenes is catalyzed by [Ir(μ-acac-O,O′,C³)(acac-O,O′)(acac-C³)]₂ (acac=acetylacetonato), 1 [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122 (2000) 7414]. The reaction of benzene with propylene gave n-propylbenzene and cumene in 61 and 39% selectivities, respectively. The reaction of benzene and styrene afforded 1,2-diphenylethane in 98% selectivity. Considering the anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity and lack of inhibition by water, we propose that the reaction does not proceed via a Friedel–Crafts, carbocation, mechanism. Complex 1, amongst the various transition metal complexes examined, is the most efficient for catalyzing the anti-Markovnikov olefin arylation. The crystal structure of complex 1 was solved and is consistent with a binuclear Ir(III) structure with three different types of coordinated acac ligands as reported by earlier solution IR and NMR analyses. [Ir(μ-acac-O,O′,C³)(acac-O,O′)Cl]₂, 2, was prepared by the reaction of complex 1 with benzoyl chloride, and the crystal structure was also reported.     

Reaction of 1,2-bis(cyclopentadienyl)tetramethyl digermane with Ru3(CO)12

We have recently reported a novel rearrangement reaction involving an intramolecular metathesis between M-M and Fe-Fe bonds in the dinuclear iron complexes (Me₂MMMe₂)[η⁵-C₅R₄)Fe(CO)]₂(μ-CO)₂ (M=Si, Ge; R=H, Me):^[1-5].In order to extend the applied range of the rearrangement reaction we tried to synthesize the digermyl briged diruthenium analogues. The results showed a great difference between them.     

The synthesis and X-ray structure of five co-ordinate imidodiphosphinate complexes of indium(III)

We report the synthesis and structural characterisation of three five co-ordinate indium(III) bis-chelate complexes of imidodiphosphinates with general formula InCl{N(PR₂X)₂}₂, (R=Ph or Prⁱ, X=S or Se), formed from the 1:2 reaction of indium(III) trichloride and the potassium or sodium salt of the ligand in methanol/THF. The complexes consist of discrete monomeric, molecules and show a trigonal–bipyramidal co-ordination pattern. These are the first examples of five co-ordinate complexes containing this type of ligand, in contrast to other indium(III) and main group element complexes of similar ligands in which only the six co-ordinate tris-chelates are known.     

Reactivity of ruthenium complexes with uninegative (X,S)-donor ligands (X = S,P)—II. Phosphine substitution in [Ru(S,S)2(PR3)2] derivatives. Crystal structure of trans-bis(O-ethyldithiocarbonate)bis(dimethylphenylphosphine)-ruthenium(II)

The complexes [Ru(S,S)₂(PPh₃)₂] [S,S = EtCOCS₂⁻, (CH₂)₄NCS₂⁻] react with a variety of tertiary phosphines with the substitution of triphenylphosphine and the formation of [Ru(S,S)₂(PR₃)₂]. The reaction occurs with the formation ofthe cis isomer, except for the complex with PMe₂Ph that gives rise to the trans isomer as the crystal structure shows. The effect of the different phosphines on the ruthenium complex is analysed in terms of the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the isolated compounds. The cyclic voltammetric studies of the cis complexes show that isomerization to the trans isomer occurs on oxidation. This isomerization is not observed in the trans-[Ru(S,S)₂(PMe₂Ph)₂] complexes that give rise to stable trans-ruthenium(II)/ruthenium(III) couples. In a similar way the diphosphine complexes afford a quasi-reversible cis-ruthenium(II)/ruthenium(III) process.     

Übergangsmetall-carbin-komplexe : LXXXIII. Neue anionische mer-dihalogeno-tricarbonyl-dialkylamino-carbin-komplexe des wolframs

The reaction of trans-X(CO)₄WCNR₂ (X = Br, R = ^c hex (cyclohexyl); X = Cl, R = ^c hex, ⁱpr (isopropyl) with M⁺X⁻ (M⁺ = NEt₄⁺, X⁻ = Br⁻; M⁺ = PPN⁺, X⁻ = Cl⁻) leads under substitution of one CO ligand to new anionic dihalo(tricarbonyl)carbyne-tungsten complexes of the type M⁺ mer-[(X)₂(CO)₃WCNR₂]⁻ (M⁺ = NEt₄⁺, X = Br, R = ^c hex; M⁺ = PPN⁺, X = Cl, R = ^c hex, ⁱ pr), whose composition and structure were determined by elemental analysis as well as by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. In the anionic carbyne complexes the entered halogen ligand, coordinated in a cis position relative to the carbyne ligand on the metal, can be easily substituted by neutral nucleophiles, as the reaction of PPN⁺ mer-[(Cl)₂(CO)₃WCN^chex₂]⁻ with PPh₃ demonstrates yielding the neutral carbyne complex mer-[Cl(CO)₃(PPh₃)WCN^chex₂].     

The reactivity of cationic [trioxo-(1,4,7-triazacyclononane) rhenium(VII)] and oxorhenium(V) complexes containing triazamacrocycles

The reduction of colourless [LRe^VIIO₃]Br in an acetone-water mixture (6: 1) with zinc amalgam affords green, air-sensitive [LRe^VO₂Br] which forms a violet complex [LReO(μ-O)₂ReOBr₂]in aqueous solution (L = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane; C₆H₁₅N₃). From a similar reduction of [LReO₃]ReO₄ the violet neutral complex [LReO(μ-O)₂ReO(ReO₄)₂] was obtained. [LReO₃]⁺ is deprotonated in alkaline solution (pK_a = 10.3 + 0.2, 25°C) and [(C₆H₁₄N₃)ReO₃] was isolated as a yellow solid. The latter amido rhenium(VII) compound reacted in dimethylformamide with R---X (R = CH₃, benzyl; X = Cl), affording at the cyclic amine, N,N′,N″-trisalkylated complexes of the type [L′ReO₃]X. The monomeric rhenium(V) complexes [LReOX₂]X (X = Cl, Br, I) were obtained from the reaction of [n-Butyl₄N]ReOX₄ and L in acetonitrile. IR, UV-vis, ¹⁷O NMR spectra of these compounds are reported.     

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of metal complexes. Gas phase formation of a binuclear copper(II)–5-Br-PADAP complex

The complexes formed from copper(II) and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP or HL) in aqueous methanol solution was studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The solution of a 1:1 complex of Cu(II) with 5-Br-PADAP showed five peaks assignable to a binuclear complex [Cu₂L₂(AcO)]⁺ and mononuclear complexes [CuL]⁺, [CuL(H₂O)]⁺, [CuL(AcOH)]⁺ and [CuL(HL)]⁺ (AcO=acetate). Collision activated dissociation revealed the relative order of bonding strengths; Cu–L>Cu–HL>CuL–AcOH>CuL–H₂O. The peak intensities of the binuclear complex showed second-order dependency on those of the mono complex. As for the solution of Ni(II)–5-Br-PADAP, no binuclear complex was observed in the mass spectra. Thus, it was suggested that [Cu₂L₂(AcO)]⁺ was formed by the fast gas phase reaction: 2[CuL]⁺+AcO⁻[Cu₂L₂(AcO)]⁺.
