Zn(II) and Cd(II) Complexes Extended Structures Sustained by Hydrogen Bonding, π–π and C–H···π Interactions

Abstract  

Two new complexes [Zn(sal)₂(tpt)]·H₂O(1), [Cd(sal)₂(tpt)(H₂O)]·H₂O(2), have been obtained through ligands tpt and Hsal, where Hsal is salicylic acid and tpt is 2,4,6-tripyridyl-1,3,5-triazine, reacting with Zn(II) and Cd(II) salts. Their structures are fully characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction. In complex 1, Zn(II) is coordinated by three N atoms and two O atom with a distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry. In 2, Each Cd(II) atom is seven-coordinated with a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry. The structural differences between two complexes show the influence of the coordinating orientation of metal ions. These two mononuclear complexes are further extended into three-dimensional structure via π–π, C–H···π and hydrogen bonding interactions. The solid state luminescent properties of complex 1, 2 are also reported.

Abstract  

A mononuclear fragment [Cu(L)Cl]ClO₄ (1) and a cyano-bridged Cu^II–Ni^II binuclear complex [CuL][Ni(CN)₄]·0.25H₂O (2) (L = 1,3,6,8,11,14-hexaazatricyclo[12.2.1.18,11]-octadecane), have been prepared and characterized. X-ray single crystal analyses indicate that the both complexes crystallize in the monoclinic crystalline system. The complex of 1 in P1n1 space group with unit cell constants a = 6.1176(6) ?, b = 11.9147(10) ?, c = 12.2041(12) ?, β = 98.816(5)° and 2 in the P2₁/n space group with unit cell constants a = 8.1419(13) ?, b = 14.695(2) ?, c = 16.863(3) ?, β = 98.375(2)° have been revealed. The complex 2 assumes a binuclear structure in which the nickel(II) ion is in a square planar environment and the copper(II) is in a square-prism geometry environment.

The phenylmercury(II) derivatives PhHgS₂P(OR)₂ (R=C₂H₅, C₆H₁₁ and C₆H₅) have been synthesized. (O,O-diethyldithiophosphate) phenylmercury(II), C₁₀H₁₅HgO₂PS₂, crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c (n° 14) witha=7.330(5),b=18.085(2),c=11.552(4)Å,=105.96(5)°,V=1472.3(6)ų,Z=4,D=2.088 g.cm^–3. The mercury atom is coordinated to the phenyl carbon atom and to a ligand sulphur atom in an almost linear arrangement (C-Hg-S angle, 176.0(2)°. The ligand is almost monodentate, its second sulphur atom only being involved in a weak secondary intermolecular bond.IR and Raman studies of the other two compounds suggest the same coordination scheme. Positive ion FAB and¹³C,³¹P and¹⁹⁹Hg NMR spectra are also discussed.

Crystals of different compositions, namely, [Ni(Ida)(Im)₃] ? H₂O (I), [Ni(Im)₆][Ni(Mida)₂] ? 6H₂O (II), and [Ni(Im)₂(H₂O)₄][Ni(Bida)₂] (III), have been precipitated from aqueous solutions of the Ni²⁺-Lig ^2?-Im systems, where Lig ^2? is Ida, Mida, and Bida, respectively. The crystal structures of I–III are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (R = 0.0307, 0.0348, and 0.0302 for 3061, 4706, and 2882 reflections, respectively). Crystals I are built of monomeric mixed-ligand complexes and molecules of crystallization water, which are interlinked by hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional framework. In II and III, the ligands Lig ^2? and Im form charged complexes separately. In II, the cationic and anionic layers of the complexes alternate along the c-axis. Numerous hydrogen bonds involving molecules of crystallization water link the layers into a three-dimensional framework. In III, the cationic and anionic complexes, which serve as proton donors and acceptors, respectively, are bound into layers parallel to the xy plane.

The synthesis, characterization and X-ray structures of two compounds with the general formula trans-M(biz)₂(NCS)₂ (in which biz = 2,2′-biimidazoline and M = Mn(II) for compound 1 and Ni(II) for compound 2) are reported. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 8.393(5), b = 8.946(5), c = 7.659(5) Å, α = 104.440(5), β = 106.880(5), γ = 66.180(5)^∘, V = 497.7(5) ų, Z = 1 for compound 1 and a = 8.155(2), b = 8.8190(10), c = 7.480(2) Å, α = 102.259(15), β = 106.135(13), γ = 67.706(14)^∘, V = 474.7(2) ų, Z = 1 for compound 2.Both metal ions show octahedral coordination with the four nitrogen atoms of two biz ligands in the equatorial plane and the two nitrogen atoms of two isothiocyanate anions in the axial positions. The M–N≡C angles are 166.5(2) and 167.7(2) for compounds 1 and 2, respectively. These values are in the usually obtained range for trans-isothiocyanate coordinated compounds. The sulfur atom of each isothiocyanate anion acts as acceptor for the hydrogen bond with the NH group of the biz ligands. In the IR spectrum the vibrations of the thiocyanate anion are observed at 2090 and 776 cm⁻¹ for compound 1 and at 2108 and 778 cm⁻¹ for compound 2, and these values are typical for linear-bond isothiocyanate complexes of transition metals.     

Structural comparisons between Cu(II) and Ni(II) diaza-coupled quasi-aromatic α-amineoxime complexes

Reaction of NioylH and CuoylH with the diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid quantitatively produces diaza complexes by coupling at the C-12 position. X-ray structural study: [Nioyl–N=N–C₆H₄SO₃H]·H₂O; C₁₉H₂₈O₆N₆S₁Ni₁ M _r = 527.23, monoclinic P2₁/c, a = 12.752(3), b = 10.795(3), c = 16.609(3) Å, = 92.46(3)°, V = 2284.2(9) ų, Z = 4, D _x = 1.533(2) mg m^–3 [Cuoyl–N=N–C₆H₄SO₃H]· HCl ·3H₂O; C₁₉H₃₃O₈N₆S₁Cu₁Cl₁, M _r = 604.56, triclinic, , a = 8.4019(8), b = 11.2266(99), c = 14.9370(20) Å, = 84.264(7), = 75.309(8), = 73.024(8)°, V = 1303.0(2) ų, Z = 2, D _x = 1.541(2) mg m^–3. The complexes were isolated from about 0.2 M HCl and had different formulas due to differing protonation. The sulfonic acid proton resides on the diaza nitrogen attached to the C₆H₄ ring and with the copper(II) analogue, protonation also occurs on the intramolecular hydrogen-bond oxygen. Bond distance and angle comparisons are made and related to potential electron delocalization between aromatic rings.

Synthesis, spectral, and single crystal X-ray structural studies on (2,2′-bipyridyl)bis(dimethyldithiocarbamato) zinc(II) and (1,10-phenanthroline) bis(dimethyldithiocarbamato)zinc(II)

Synthesis, spectral, and single crystal X-ray structural studies on (2,2-bipyridyl)bis (dimethyldithiocarbamato)zinc(II) (1) and (l,10-phenanthroline)bis(dimethyldithiocarbamato)zinc(II) (2) complexes are reported in this paper. The complex (1) crystallizes in the orthorhombic lattice, space group Pcca, a = 18.456(3), b = 6.529(2), and c = 17.092(2) Å. The complex (2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 13.372(2), b = 13.850(2), c = 24.680(3) Å, and = 102.71(4)°. IR spectra of the complexes (1) and (2) show the thioureide (C-N) bands at 1489 and 1510 cm^–1, respectively, which are lower than the value observed for the parent bisdithiocarbamate. Reduction in the thioureide stretching frequency is due to the increase in coordination around the zinc ion and the resultant increase in electron density. Thermal studies indicate that the 1,10-phenanthroline adduct is marginally more stable than the other complex. X-ray crystal structures of the two adducts show them to be octahedrally coordinated and monomeric in nature. The Zn-S distances are longer than those observed in the parent bisdithiocarbamate. The thioureide C-N bond distances in (1) and in (2) indicate the partial double bond character. The most important structural changes as a result of the adduct formation are observed in the Zn-S bond distances and S-Zn-S bond angles, in terms of very significant increases in Zn-S bond distances and reductions in S-Zn-S angles, compared to the parent bisdithiocarbamate. The observed changes are indicative of a strong steric force in operation in the adducts rather than electronic effects.
