[(en)₂Co(O₂, OH)Co(en)₂]³⁺ ( a ) reacts with I^? in acidic aqueous solution according to: Co^III(O₂, OH)Co^III + 21^? + 5H⁺ ? 2Co^III + 3H₂O + I₂. Using I^? in excess first order rate constants are obtained which, to a first approximation, are independent of [I^?]. Comparison with kinetic data of deoxygenation of [(en)₂Co(O₂, OH)Co(en)₂]³⁺ under analogous conditions suggests that both reactions have the same rate determining step. The singly bridged species [(en)₂(H₂O)CoO₂Co(H₂O) (en)₂]⁴⁺ is shown to be the reactive intermediate in the iodide oxidation (Schema 2).

On Reactions of oxygenated Cobalt(II) Chelates. VI. Preparation of diastereoisomeric tetrakis(ethylenediamine)-μ-peroxo-μl-hydroxo-dicobalt(III) Perchlorates Oxygenation of Co(en)₂²⁺ leads to a mixture of two isomeric forms of [(en)₂Co(O₂, OH)-Co(en)₂] (ClO₄)₃ · H₂O from which the less soluble meso form can be readily crystallized. Further crystallization from the mother liquor yields the racemate ΔΔ/ΔΔ. The pure racemate may be obtained by either of the following methods: (a) By ligand exchange starting from mono bridged [(NH₃)₅CoO₂Co(NH₃)₅] (NO₃)₄ or from doubly bridged [(SCN) (NH₃)₃Co(O₂, OH)Co(NH₃)₃(SCN)] SCN · 2H₂O. (b) By reaction of cis-[Co(en)₂(OH₂)₂]³⁺ with H₂O₂. Reaction (b) proceeds via an intermediate cis-[Co(en)₂(OOH) (OH₂)] (ClO₄)₂ · H₂O which at higher pH reacts with [Co(en)₂(OH) (OH₂)]²⁺ to yield the desired doubly bridged ΔΔ/ΔΔ tetrakis(ethylenediamine)-μ-peroxo-μ-hydroxodikobalt(III)-perchlorate.

A new binuclear peroxo complex containing thiocyanate as bridging ligand was prepared by the same method. The stretching frequencies of the CN- and CS-group as well as the NCS-bending frequence in the IR. spectrum of [(en)₂Co(O₂, SCN)Co(en)₂](NO₃)₃ suggest that the μ-thiocyanato group is N-bonded (2050, 750, 475 cm^?1). A comparison of IR. spectra of known singly and doubly bridged μ-peroxo complexes is made. Characteristic absorption bands, assignable to ν(O? O) and ν(Co? O) are given.

In both cases the cations exist as racemic mixtures of ΔΔ and ΔΔ isomers. The O–O distance in the μ-peroxo cation 1a is 1.465 Å and the Co–O–O–Co torsion angle is 60.7°. The corresponding values for the μ-superoxo cation 1b are 1.339 Å and 22.0°.

Singly bridged [(tren) (NH₃) CoO₂(NH₃) (tren)]⁴⁺ reacts with excess tren by replacement of NH₃ in cis-position to the peroxo group and formation of a new type of doubly bridged μ-peroxo complex. An X-ray structure determination of [(tren)-Co(O₂, tren)Co(tren)] (ClO₄)₄ · 2 H₂O showed that the additional tren forms a macrocyclic bridging ring. The conformation of the CoOOCo group is transoid with a dihedral angle of 20°. The crystals are monoclinic with space group P2₁/c. The lattice constants are a = 9,798, b = 26,385, c = 16,385 Å, β = 110,2° with four formula units in the cell. The final R value is 0,124. ClO anions are disordered. The reactions of [(tren)Co(O₂, tren)Co(tren)]⁴⁺ in aqueous solution are compared with those of [(tren) (NH₃) CoO₂Co (NH₃tren)]⁴⁺. In acidic solution the new complex mainly decomposes to Co^II and O₂. In alcaline medium the bridging tren is replaced by an OH bridge, forming the well characterized doubly bridged [(tren)-Co(O₂, OH)Co(tren)]³⁺. Differing from the singly bridged bis (ammino) complex, the reactions of which show no pH dependency at all, the decomposition of the tren bridged complex is H⁺-catalyzed. The kinetic data have been interpreted as (i) preceding fast protonation step which is followed by a conformational change of the bridging ring, (ii) acid hydrolysis of a Co-μ-tren bond and (iii) fast cleavage of the Co-OO bond which is labilized by coordinated H₂O.

Polynuclear Cobalt Complexes. II. Preparation and Structure of [(tren) (NH₃)Co(O₂)Co(NH₃) (tren)](SCN)₄ · 2H₂O The title compound is obtained on oxygenation of [Co(tren)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ in 6M aqueous ammonia or by ligand exchange starting from [(NH₃)₅Co(O₂)Co(NH₃)₅]-(NO₃)₄. An X-ray structure determination was made. The substance forms monoclinic crystals, space group P2₁/c, lattice constants a=10,135, b=8,473, c=19,484 Å, β=108,58°, with two formula units in the cell. The final R is 0,066. The binuclear cation has a center of symmetry, so the Co? O? O? Co unit is planar; the Co? O? O angle is 111,5°. The tertiary nitrogen atoms of both chelate groups are cis to the O₂ bridge, as found in doubly bridged [(tren)Co(O₂,OH)Co(tren)](ClO₄)₃ · 3H₂O. On acidification in solution, the singly bridged cation [(tren) (NH₃)CoO₂Co(NH₃)(tren)]⁴⁺ (a) loses the bound O₂ completely. But unlike the doubly bridged cation b , the rate of dissociation of a is independent of pH (Fig. 5). At higher pH (8–10) bridging a→b (Fig. 2) occurs. Both reactions must have the same rate determining step, the first order rate constants being of the order of 2 · 10^?3 s^?1 (25°, 0,35M KCl).     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of meso-Δ,Λ-μ-Peroxo-μ-hydroxobis[bis(ethylenediamine)rhodium(III)]trifluoromethane Sulfonate

The reaction of the meso-diol, Δ,Λ-[(en)₂Rh(OH)₂Rh(en)₂]⁴⁺, with aqueous H₂O₂ and 1 equiv. of NaOH at 90° forms the μ-peroxo-μ-hydroxo-bridged species Δ,Λ-[(en)₂Rh(O₂,OH)Rh(en)₂]³⁺ in a yield of ca. 50%. The compound was crystallized as perchlorate and trifluoromethanesulfonate salts. The structure of the latter salt was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic with space group P1 and lattice constants a = 11.895(5), b = 12.491(4), c = 13.053(5) Å, α = 103.98(3), β = 92.59(3), γ = 119.52(6)°. The distances of the metal centres to the bridging peroxo ligand are 1.999(8) and 1.983(6) Å. The O? O distance in the peroxo group is 1.521(14) Å, and the dihedral angle of the Rh? O? O? Rh unit deviates 65° from planarity. The peroxo complex reacts reversibly with acid, and spectrophotometric studies suggest that the reaction involves protonation of the peroxo bridge, with pK_a = 2.70(2) at 25° in 1M NaClO₄.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Hydrogen Bonding of μ‐Hydroxo‐μ‐peroxo‐bis[bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III)] Squarate

Black‐brown needle‐shaped single crystals of [Co₂(en)₄(O₂)(OH)][C₄O₄]_1.5 · 4H₂O (en = ethylenediamine) were prepared in aqueous solution at room temperature [space group P$\bar{1}$ (no.2) with a = 800.20(8), b = 1225.48(7), c = 1403.84(9) pm, α = 100.282(5), β = 94.515(7), and γ = 95.596(6)°]. The Co³⁺ cations [Co(1), Co(2)] are coordinated in an octahedral manner by four nitrogen atoms stemming from the ethylenediamine molecules and two oxygen atoms each from a hydroxo group and a peroxo group, respectively. Both Co³⁺ coordination polyhedra are connected by a common corner and by the peroxo group leading to the dinuclear [(en)₂Co(O₂)(OH)Co(en)₂]³⁺ cation. The squarate dianions, not bonded to Co³⁺, and the [(en)₂Co(O₂)(OH)Co(en)₂]³⁺ cations are linked by hydrogen bonds forming a three‐dimensional supramolecular network containing water molecules. Magnetic measurements revealed a diamagnetic behavior indicating a low‐spin electron configuration of Co³⁺. The UV/Vis spectra show two LMCT bands [π*(O₂^2–) → d_σ*(Co³⁺)] at 274 and 368 nm and the d–d transition (¹A_1g → ¹T_1g) at 542 nm. Thermoanalytical investigations in air show that the compound is stable up to 120 °C. Subsequent decomposition processes to cobalt oxide are finished at 460 °C.     

Präparative Darstellung von μ-Disauerstoff-bis-kobalt(II)-Chelaten

Binuclear cobalt chelates with O₂ as bridging ligand have been prepared, using ethylenediamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine and tris-(2-aminoethyl)-amine as chelating agents and SCN^? and ClO₄^? as anions. They form well characterized crystals which give off molecular oxygen spontaneously in acid solution and, except in the case of the cobalt tetra-ethylenepentamine chelate, reveal the general composition [(Z)Co · μ(O₂, OH) · Co(Z)]X₃, where Z represents the polydentate complexing agents and X the anion. In the presence of ammonia different complexes are produced, in which NH₃ occupies one coordination site of each cobalt, replacing the hydroxo bridge.     

Über Reaktionen oxygenierter Kobalt (II)-Chelate. Zur Stereochemie binuclearer Oxygenierungsprodukte von Triäthylentetraminkobalt (II)

⁵⁹Co- and ¹H-NMR. spectra as well as preparative work have shown that oxygenation of solutions of triethylenetetramine cobalt(II) leads to a mixture of isomeric forms of [Co₂(trien)₂μ (O₂, OH)]³⁺. Using a new preparative method, starting from mononuclear cobalt(III)-chelates, a binuclear μ-peroxo-cobalt(III) complex has been obtained in two different forms, where the chelate configuration is predominantly either α-cis or β-cis in both centres. The two configurations can be distinguished by IR. spectroscopy.     

Molecular Structure of the Bis[tris(2-aminoethyl)aminecyano]dicobalt(III) Ion and its UV/VIS Spectrum

Formation of μ-peroxodicobalt(III) complexes has been studied in solutions containing tris(2-aminoethyl)aminecobalt(II) and additional monodentate ligands X. Depending n the nature and the concentration of X and on pH, singly bridged [(tren)XCoOOCoX(tren)]⁴⁺ and/or doubly bridged [(tren)Co(C₂OH)Co(tren)]³⁺ are formed. The UV/VIS spectra of these complexes are discussed on the basis of a theoretical model which stresses the importance of the dihedral angle of the CoOOCo-group. [(tren)(CN)CoOOCo(CN)(tren)](ClO₄)₂ has been synthesized and its structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The CoOOCo-group of the cation is planar. Solutions of the complex as well as the solid show two CT bands in the 300–400 nm region.

Polyol Metal Complexes. 49¹⁾ μ‐Dulcitolato‐O^{2, 3;4, 5} Complexes with Cu^II(en) and Ni^II(tren) Metal Fragments The dinuclear ethylenediamine‐copper(II) complex of the tetra‐anion of the achiral alditol dulcitol (galactitol) is remarkable, since it was the first crystalline carbohydrate—metal complex ever reported (W. Traube, G. Glaubitt, V. Schenck, Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1930 , 63, 2083—2093). Although its existence is recognized for many decades, its structure remained unknown due to a kind of crystal packing that promotes twinning. Crystal growth at low temperatures now yielded crystalline specimens of [(en)₂Cu₂(Dulc2, 3, 4, 5H_—4)] · 7 H₂O ( 1 ) that have allowed us to unravel both the crystal structure and the twinning law. Closely related molecular structures are adopted by [(tren)₂Ni₂(Dulc2, 3, 4, 5H_—4)] · 20 H₂O ( 2 ) and [(Me₃tren)₂Ni₂(Dulc2, 3, 4, 5H_—4)] · 16 H₂O ( 3 ), the latter showing the shortest hydrogen bond towards a polyolate acceptor ever found (O···O distance: 2.422Å).     

Cleavage of the peptide bond of beta-alanyl-L-histidine (carnosine) induced by a Co(III)-amine complexes: reaction, structure and mechanism

Cleavage of the peptide bond occurs when beta]-alanyl-L-histidine (carnosine) reacts with [Co(tren)Cl2]+ (tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine) to give [Co(tren)(histidine)](2+) 1 and [Co(tren)(beta-alanine)](2+) 2. [Co(tren)(histidine)](2+) 1 crystallizes in the enantiomorphic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and 2 crystallizes in the P2(1)/c space group. The mechanism of the cleavage reactions were studied in detail for the precursor [Co(tren)Cl2]+ and [Co(trien)Cl2]+, which convert into [Co(tren)(OH)2]+/[Co(tren)(OH)(OH2)]2+ and [Co(trien)(OH)2]+/[Co(trien)(OH)(OH2)]2+ in water at basic pH (trien = 1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane). At a slightly basic pH, the initial coordination of the substrate (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is by the carboxylate group for the reaction with [Co(tren)Cl2]+. This is followed by a rate-limiting nucleophilic attack of the hydroxide group at the beta-alanyl-L-histidine carbonyl group. In a strongly basic reaction medium substrate, binding of the metal was through carboxylate and amine terminals. On the other hand, for the reaction between [cis-beta-Co(trien)Cl2]+ and beta-alanyl-L-histidine, the initial coordination of the substrate takes place via an imidazole ring nitrogen, independently, and followed by a nucleophilic attack of the hydroxide group at the beta-alanyl-L-histidine carbonyl group. The circular dichroism spectrum for 1 suggests that a very small extent of racemization of the amino acid (L-histidine) takes place during the cleavage reaction between [Co(tren)Cl2]+ and beta-alanyl-L-histidine. Reaction between [cis-beta-Co(trien)Cl2]+ and beta-alanyl-L-histidine also causes cleavage of the peptide bond, producing a free beta-alanyl molecule and a cationic fragment [cis-alpha-Co(trien)(histidine)](2+) 3 that crystallizes in the optically active space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). Unlike the previous case an appreciable degree of racemization of the L-histidine takes place during the reaction between [cis-beta-Co(trien)Cl2]+ and beta-alanyl-L-histidine. Crystals containing L-histidine and D-histidine fragments in the [cis-alpha-Co(trien)(histidine)]2+ moiety were crystallographically documented by mounting a number of randomly selected crystals.

Oxygenation of Co(II) Complexes with Tripodal Ligands

The kinetics of O₂-uptake of five-coordinated Co²⁺/tren complexes (tren = 2,2′, 2″-tris(2-aminoethyl)amine) have been studied extensively. The kinetics of formation of (tren)Co(O₂, OH)Co(tren)³⁺ exhibits two steps. The rate law of O₂-addition, the first step, was of the form: rate = (k[H⁺] + kK_a)/([H⁺] + K_a) [Co(tren)²⁺][O₂]. Second-order rate constants k = 220 ± 19 M ^?1s^?1 and k = 1.8 ± .035 · 10³M ^?1s^?1 agreed well from O₂-uptake and (stopped-flow) spectrophotometric measurements. The protonation constant of the hydroxo complex obtained by equlibrium measurements (spectrophotometric and by pH-titration) in anaerobic conditions (pK_a = 10.03) agreed well with that derived from kinetic data (p K_a = 9.93); k and k are about a factor 100 smaller than those for the pseudooctahedral Co(trien) (H₂O). This and the fact that several other Co(II) complexes with five-coordinated geometry do not exhibit oxygen affinity led to the proposal that the oxygenation mechanism for Co²⁺/tren complexes involves fast preequilibria between Co(tren) (H₂O)²⁺ and Co(tren) (H₂O) and only the latter is assumed to be reactive. The enhanced rate at high pH is explained by rate determining H₂O-exchange in the O₂-addition step and the ability of coordinated OH^? to labilize the neighbouring H₂O. This mechanism is furthermore supported by the formation of one kinetically preferred isomer of the peroxo-bridged dicobalt(III) complex (O₂ cis to the tertiary N-atom) and the large negative activation entropy (?30 eu). The second step is the intramolecular bridging reaction: is independent of [Co(tren)²⁺] and [O₂] but exhibits a pH-dependence of the form k₃ = k′₃[H + ]/(K_a + [H⁺]); k_?3 ( = 5 · 10^?5 s^?1) was determined independently and from the two rate constants the equilibrium constant was calculated as ≈ 10⁵. The ligand combination as in Co(tren)²⁺ was shown to provide an excellent balance to form a reversible oxygen carrier; possible reasons for this are discussed.

The lanthanide selenidogermanates [{Eu(en)₃}₂(μ‐OH)₂]Ge₂Se₆ ( 1 ), [{Ho(en)₃}₂(μ‐OH)₂]Ge₂Se₆ ( 2 ), and [{Ho(dien)₂}₂(μ‐OH)₂]Ge₂Se₆ ( 3 ) (en = ethylenediamine, dien = diethylenetriamine) were solvothermally prepared by the reactions of Eu₂O₃ (or Ho₂O₃), germanium, and selenium in en and dien solvents respectively. Compounds 1 – 3 are composed of selenidogermanate [Ge₂Se₆]^4– anion and dinuclear lanthanide complex cation [{Ln(en)₃}₂(μ‐OH)₂]⁴⁺ (Ln = Eu, Ho) or [{Ho(dien)₂}₂(μ‐OH)₂]⁴⁺. The [Ge₂Se₆]^4– anion is composed of two GeSe₄ tetrahedra sharing a common edge. The dinuclear lanthanide complex cations are built up from two [Ln(en)₃]³⁺ or [Ho(dien)₂]³⁺ ions joined by two μ‐OH bridges. All lanthanide(III) ions are in eight‐coordinate environments forming distorted bicapped trigonal prisms. In 1 – 3 , three‐dimensional supramolecular networks of the anions and cations are formed by N–H ··· Se and N–H ··· O hydrogen bonds. To the best of our knowledge, 1 – 3 are the first examples of selenidogermanate salts with lanthanide complex counter cations.

Oxygenation of cobalt (II) chelates with fourdentate amines such as 1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane (= tad) in aqueous solution yields μ-peroxo-μ-hydroxo-dicobalt (III) complexes. Due to facultative ligand disposition of the amine, 8 different diastereoisomers are possible. Introducing methyl groups in positions 4 and 7 of tad destabilizes the isomers with β-configuration. A crystallized perchlorate, obtained by oxygenation of 4, 7-dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazadecanecobalt (II) (= dmtad) in alcaline solution, proved to be of the expected μ-peroxo-μ-hydroxo type. The ligand configuration is and lattice constants a (ΔΔ/ΛΛ). The X-ray structure was solved by Patterson's method and refined to R = 0.093. The crystals are orthorhombic with space group Pna2₁ and lattice constants a = 14.632 (4), b = 17.525 (5), c = 12.888 (5) Å. In its UV./VIS. absorption spectrum and its solution reactivity the binuclear cation is closely related to oxygenation products obtained with the chelate of unsubstituted tad. The kinetic parameters of the decomposition reaction of the μ-peroxo complexes in acidic solution are compared. The binuclear cations with 4, 7-dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane as ligand are generally more reactive. In slightly alcaline solution isomerization of the μ-peroxo-μ-hydroxo complexes has been observed.     

Cobalt(III) Complexes of D‐Galactosylamine

The β‐pyranose isomer of D ‐galactosylamine ( 1 ) formed complexes with three different cobalt(III) fragments. Crystals containing the dication [Co(tren)(β‐D ‐Galp1N2H_–1‐κ²N¹,O²)]²⁺ ( 3 ) showed coordination through the anomeric amino group (N1) and the deprotonated hydroxy group (O2) of the ⁴C₁ β‐pyranose form, which is also the major isomer of free galactosylamine. The cationic complexes [Co(fac‐dien)(β‐D ‐Galp1N2H_–1‐κ²N¹,O²)]²⁺ ( 4 ) and [Co(phen)₂(β‐D ‐Galp1N2H_–1‐κ²N¹,O²)]²⁺ ( 5 ) were analysed by NMR spectroscopy and showed the same coordination mode as 3 . In terms of available ligand isomers it was shown that 1 exhibits an anomeric equilibrium in solution of both pyranose and both furanose forms as is typical for the parent glycose, galactose.
