Iron(III) complexes on the basis of azomethine derived from 4,4′-dodecyloxybenzoyloxybenzoyl-4-oxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde

This work deals with the synthesis and investigation of phase behavior of iron(III)-containing complexes of linear azomethine derived from 4,4′-dodecyloxybenzoyloxybenzoyl-4-oxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with NO₃⁻, PF₆⁻, Cl⁻, and BF₄⁻ counterions. All semiproducts and target substances are characterized by TLC, elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and melting points. It is established that the reaction of Schiff base with metal salts at room temperature leads to the formation of complexes having presumably the linear structure. Phase behavior of the compounds obtained depending on the nature of counterion was studied.     

Solvent effect in the preparation of iron(III) azomethine complexes based on 4,4′-dodecyloxybenzoyloxybenzoyl-4-salicylidene-N′-ethyl-N-ethylenediamine

Mono- and bis-chelate iron(III)-containing complexes with a tridentate azomethine ligand based on n-dodecyloxybenzoic acid ester derivatives with oxybenzoyl-4-salidene-N??-ethyl-N-ethylenediamine with NO ₃ ^? counterions are obtained. The structure of the compounds is determined by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS). It is found that the complexation of iron salts with tridentate ligands in a mixture of solvents (alcohol:benzene) results in the formation of bischelate compounds of the composition 1:2 with octahedral packing of iron in the complex, while in pure alcohol solutions, asymmetric mono-chelate complexes are obtained.     

Synthesis of liquid-crystalline 4,4′-dodecyloxybenzoyloxybenzoyl-4-oxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and related azomethine

4,4′-Dodecyloxybenzoyloxybenzoyl-4-hydroxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and the related linear azomethine, the intermediates at the formation of iron(III)-containing complexes, were synthesized. These compounds were characterized by thin layer chromatography, elemental analysis, IR, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and by the data of differential scanning calorimetry. The aldehyde and the azomethine show mesomorphic properties.     

Structure and phase transitions of azomethine biligand complexes of iron(III) based on 3,4,5-tri(tetradecyloxy)benzoyloxy-4-salicylidene-N′-ethyl-N-ethylenediamine

New biligand complexes of iron(III) are synthesized based on 3,4,5-tri(tetradecyloxy)benzoyloxy-4-salicylidene-N′-ethyl-N-ethylenediamine azomethine with the outer sphere NO₃^?, PF₆^?, Cl^?, BF₄^?, ClO₄^?, and CNS^– anions. All the target compounds are characterized by gel exclusion chromatography, elemental analysis, and electron, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. The presence of complex-forming ions is confirmed by FT-IR spectra in the far region. The formation of biligand polychelate complexes with an octahedral packing of the iron ion is observed. Phase transitions in the resulting coordination compounds are studied by differential scanning calorimetry and optical polarizing thermomicroscopy. The presence of several polymorphic crystalline modifications, as well as mesophases, is established. Mesomorphic properties are found for complexes with chloride and tetrafluoroborate anions.     

Iron(III) 4,4′,4″,4‴-sulfophthalocyanine

The iron(III) 4,4′,4″,4‴-sulfophthalocyanine(Fe(III)SPc) compounds: H₃Fe(III)SPc·8H₂O; Na₃Fe(III)SPc·0.5NaOH·4H₂O; K₃Fe(III)SPc·0.5KOH·4H₂O; and Cs₃Fe(III)SPc·1.5CsOH·2H₂O, were prepared. The Mössbauer spectra at 77° of the acid and three salts showed that two types of Fe complexes were present in each solid. The acid has low spin, octahedral and intermediate spin complexes, while the three salts are alike and have two different low spin, octahedral complexes. The magnetic moments of the solid acid and Na salt, determined over a temperature range of 295-135°, support these conclusions. The magnetic moments of the Na salt in aqueous solutions at several pH's, concentrations, and ionic strengths showed that at high ionic strength only high spin complexes are present. As the concentration is increased and ionic strength decreased, low spin complexes form. The Mössbauer spectrum of a frozen solution of the K salt (2mM) indicates that a low spin, octahedral complex is present. Half-wave potentials and visible spectra of the compounds in aqueous 0.1 M tetraethylammonium perchlorate were approximately the same. No evidence for μ-oxo complexes in solid salts, or in solution, was found.     

Synthesis of new 4,4′-bis(arylethynyl)benzophenones and 4,4′-bis(arylglyoxalyl)benzophenones based on chloral

4,4-Diiodobenzophenone was obtained by a three-stage synthesis from chloral and iodobenzene. 4,4-Bis(arylethynyl)benzophenones were synthesized by cross-coupling of 4,4-diiodobenzophenone with terminal arylethynes in the presence of a complex Pd catalyst; further oxidation of the products obtained in an iodine/DMSO medium afforded new bis(arylglyoxalyl)benzophenones.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Cyclopalladated complexes of 2-phenylbenzothiazole with 4,4′-bipyridyl

Complexes [Pd(bt)(4,4′-bpy)OOCCH₃], [Pd(bt)NO₃]₂(m-4,4′-bpy), [Pd(bt)(m-4,4′-bpy)]₄(NO₃)₄ (bt⁻ is deprotonated form of 2-phenylbenzothiazole, bpy is 4,4′-bipyridyl) are prepared and characterized by ¹H NMR, electron absorption and emission spectroscopy, as well as by voltammetry. The upfield shift of the signal of proton in the ortho-position to the donor carbon atom of the cyclopalladated ligand in the complexes [(Δδ = −(1.1–1.5) ppm] is assigned to the anisotropic effect of the ring current of the pyridine rings of the 4,4′-bipyridyl moiety, which are orthogonal to the coordination plane. Characteristic longwave absorption bands λ = (387±4) nm and the low-temperature phosphorescence bands λ = (512±3) nm in the complexes are assigned to the chromophore {Pd(bt)} metal complex fragment. The reduction waves in the complexes [E _1/2 = −(1.54±0.04) and E _p = −(1.83±0.03) V] are assigned to the ligand-centered processes of the successive electron transfer to the π* orbitals localized predominantly on the coordinated pyridine components of the 4,4′-bipyridyl moiety.     

Structure of Iron(III)-containing complexes based on the azomethine — 4,4′-dodecyloxy-benzoyloxybenzoyl-4-salicylidene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-Ethyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-ethylenediamine molecule

Iron(III)-containing complexes with an asymmetric tridentate azomethine 4,4′-dodecyloxybenzoyloxybenzoyl-4-salicylidene-N′-ethyl-N-ethylenediamine ligand with NO₃⁻, PF₆⁻, Cl⁻, and BF₄⁻ counterions are synthesized. The presence of the complexation ion is confirmed by the far FTIR spectra. The structure of the compounds is determined by the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionizationtime of flight (MALDI-ToF) method. The results of mass-spectrometric studies are consistent with the elemental analysis data. The complexation of iron salts with the asymmetric tridentate ligand is found to yield compounds of the 1:1 composition with octahedral packing of iron in the complex.     

Synthesis and modification of oligo(aryloxycyclotriphosphazenes) based on 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl-2,2-propane

Oligo(aryloxyphosphazenes) are synthesized on the basis of diphenylolpropane and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene via the phenolate method. Corresponding functional derivatives are obtained through treatment of the oligomers with methacryloyl chloride, glycidyl methacrylate, and epichlorohydrin. GPC data indicate that modification is accompanied by an increase in the molecular mass of the oligomers. Epoxidation of a specially synthesized hexaallyloxy derivative of oligo(aryloxycyclotriphosphazene) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid proceeds incompletely to yield an oligomer with a content of epoxy groups below 6%. All of the compounds are characterized with the use of ³¹P and ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

4,4′-Bipyridine complexes of molybdenum(II) and tungsten(II)

Treatment of [MI₂(CO)₃(NCMe)₂] with two equivalents of 4,4-bipyridine (4,4-bipy) in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature gave the MeCN displaced products, [MI₂(CO)₃(4,4-bipy-N)₂] (1) and (2). Equimolar amounts of [MI₂(CO)₃(NCMe)₂] and L (L = PPh₃, AsPh₃ or SbPh₃) react to give [MI₂(CO)₃(NCMe)L], which when reacted in situ with 4,4-bipy yield the new complexes, [MI₂(CO)₃(4,4-bipy-N)L] (3)–(8). Reaction of equimolar quantities of [WI₂(CO)(NCMe)( ²-RC₂R)₂] (R = Me or Ph) and 4,4-bipy gave the new bis(alkyne) complexes, [WI₂(CO)(4,4-bipy-N)( ²-RC₂R)₂] (9) and (10). Treatment of [MI₂(CO)₃(NCMe)₂] with two equivalents of (9) or (10) in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature affords the bimetallic complexes, [MI₂(CO)₃{WI₂(CO)(4,4-bipy-N,N)( ²-RC₂R)₂}₂] (11)–(14). Equimolar quantities of [MI₂(CO)₃(NCMe)(PPh₃)] (prepared in situ) and (9) or (10), react to give the 4,4-bipy-bridged complexes, [MI₂(CO)₃{WI₂(CO)(4,4-bipy-N,N)( ²-RC₂R)₂}(PPh₃)] (15)–(18). All the new complexes, (1)–(18) were characterised by elemental analysis (C, H and N), i.r. and ¹H-n.m.r. spectroscopy.     

Crystal structures and properties of two Cu(I) complexes based on Keggin-type clusters and diethyl 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-biquinoline acid

Two proton-conductive Cu(I) complexes based on Keggin-type clusters, [Cu(debqdc)₂]₂[HPW₁₂O₄₀]·4H₂O (1), and [Cu(debqdc)₂]₂[HPW₁₂O₄₀]·debqdc·4H₂O (2), where debqdc is diethyl 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-biquinoline, were simply synthesized at room temperature. The products were structurally characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that both complexes crystallized in the triclinic space group P?1 and presented two three-dimensional supramolecular networks with one-dimensional hydrophilic channels via hydrogen-bonding interactions and π–π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings. In the [Cu(debqdc)₂]⁺ ion, debqdc acts as a bidentate nitrogen donor ligand in the chelating fashion. The bulky debqdc ligand constrains the Cu(I) metal center within such a rigid environment in a tetrahedral geometry. The two complexes exhibit good proton conductivities (10^?5 ~ 10^?4 S cm^?1) at 100 °C in the relative humidity range 35 ~ 98%. The luminescence behaviors of these complexes in the solid state at room temperature have also been investigated. Upon excitation at 285 nm, both 1 and 2 display three main emission peaks centered at 470, 520, and 568 nm, respectively.     

Development of an alanine-derived chiral stabilized azomethine ylid based on the 5-(2′-naphthyl)morpholin-2-one template

A rows to enantiomerically pure -methyl functionalized proline derivatives is presented, using a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition strategy based upon a homochiral 5-(2-naphthyl)morpholin-2-one template. A mild means of generating stabilized azomethine ylids using sonication and Lewis acid catalysis is developed, avoiding the use of excessive temperatures.Dyson Perrins Laboratory, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QY, UK.

Crystal assembly based on 3,5-bis(2′-benzimidazole) pyridine and its complexes

Imdazole, pyridine and their derivatives have been considered as excellent ligands in supramolecular self-assembly. In this paper, a ligand molecule 3,5-bis (2′-benzimidazole) pyridine (BBP) was prepared, and two different crystal architectures based on the ligand molecule were self-assembled by diffusion/solvothermal ways. Furthermore, several crystal architectures of several relative complexes were also successfully assembled. These crystal structures were well defined by X-ray diffractions. Structural resolutions indicated that, as building blocks, this bibenzimidazole pyridine molecules exhibited coordination varieties in constructing the crystal architectures based on its related complexes.     

Hydrothermal synthesis, thermal and luminescent investigations of lanthanide(III) coordination polymers based on the 4,4′-oxybis(benzoate) ligand

In this study, new series of lanthanide 4,4??-oxybis(benzoates) of the general formula Ln₂oba₃·nH₂O, where Ln = lanthanides from La(III) to Lu(III), oba?=?C₁₂H₈O(COO) ₂ ^2? and n?=?3?C6, has been prepared under hydrothermal conditions. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction patterns measurements and different methods of thermal analysis (TG, DSC, and TG-FTIR). In addition, photoluminescence properties of the selected complexes have been investigated. Crystalline compounds are isostructural in the whole series. Both carboxylate groups are deprotonated and engaged in the coordination of Ln(III) ions. Heating of the complexes leads to the dehydration and next decomposition processes. Although of the same structure, the removal of water molecules proceeds in different ways. In the nitrogen atmosphere, they decompose releasing water, carbon oxides and phenol molecules. The complexes of Eu(III), Tb(III) and Dy(III) exhibit photoluminescence in the visible range, whereas the compounds of Nd(III) and Yb(III) in the near-infrared region upon excitation by UV light.     

Mesomorphic phase transitions of 4,4′-bis(ω-hydroxyalkoxy)-azoxybenzenes. Appearance of isotropic mesophase

Abstract

Mesomorphic phase transitions of 4,4′-bis(ω-hydroxyalkoxy)-azoxybenzenes (number of carbons in the alkoxy group n = 2,3,6,8,11 and 12) have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy. For the n = 8 compound, an optically isotropic (01) mesophase reminiscent of the smectic D phase was observed in the temperature range of 4 0 M 1 1 K between smectic C (below 400 K) and nematic (above 41 1 K) phases. On the other hand, the 0 1 mesophase was not observed in the other homologues used here; the n = 2,3 and 6 compounds had only a nematic phase and the n= 11 and 12 compounds had only a smectic C phase. This preliminary work points out that the thermal and optical properties of the 01 phase for the n = 8 compound are very similar to those of the smectic D phase.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and other properties of the complexes of Er(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III) with 4,4′-bipyridine and dichloroacetates

A novel mixed-ligand complexes of Er(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III) with title ligands were prepared and characterized by chemical and elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy, conductivity (in methanol, dimethyloformamide and dimethylsulphoxide). The thermal properties of complexes in the solid state were studied. The mode of metal–ligand coordination was discussed. The title compounds are isomorphic and isostructural in solid state. All atoms in studied compounds lie in general positions but occurrence of inversion on the midpoint of the bond linking two pyridine rings leads to existence in asymmetric unit one complex molecule and half of outer coordination sphere 4-bpy molecule. All chelating carboxylate groups are symmetrically bonded to the metal cations. The molecules of studied compounds are connected to the three dimensional network via O–H···O and O–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In the structures also exist C–H···O, C–H···Cl weak hydrogen bonds and π····π stacking interactions.     

Effect of solvent on the crystal structures of copper(II) complexes based on 4′-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine and 4′-(3-chlorophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine

Four homoleptic copper(II) complexes, [Cu(Meophtpy)₂](ClO₄)₂ (Meophtpy = 4′-(4-methoxylphenyl)- 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) (I), [Cu(Meophtpy)₂](ClO₄)₂ · 2H₂O (II), [Cu₂(m-Clphtpy)₄](ClO₄)₄ (m-ClPhtpy = 4′-(3-chlorophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) (III), and [Cu₂(m-ClPhtpy)₄](ClO₄)₄ (IV) have been synthesized by hydrothermal methods and characterized by IR, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction (CIF files CCDC nos. 963375 (I), 885457 (II), 963377 (III), and 963376 (IV)). Complex II is a polymorph of I and complex IV is a polymorph of III. All these complexes are obtained with 95% ethanol solution or 50% ethanol solution and the solvent control on the crystallization are obviously found. In all complexes, the face-to-face interactions between pyridyl rings or phenyl rings facilitate the construction of 3D network in the crystal in addition to hydrogen bonds. The fluorescence properties of these complexes have been investigated.
