Luminescent silver nitrate complexes of bis[2-(diphenylphosphano)phenyl]ether (DPEphos): Crystal structure of [Ag(DPEphos)(py2SH)2]NO3

Heteroleptic silver(I) nitrate complexes containing the bis[2-(diphenylphosphano)phenyl]ether (DPEphos) ligand and the heterocyclic thioamides pyridine-2(1H)-thione (py2SH), pyrimidine-2(1H)-thione (pymtH), 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-thione (dmpymtH), 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-2-thione (thpymtH) or 1,3-imidazolidine-2-thione (imtH₂) have been synthesized and characterized by IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, elemental analyses and melting point determinations. The complexes can be obtained by the addition of the thioamide ligand to an AgNO₃-diphosphane adduct in dichloromethane/ethanol solution. The molecular structure of [Ag(DPEphos)(py2SH)₂]NO₃ complex has been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure features a tetrahedral silver(I) center with two phosphorus atoms from the chelating diphos ligand, and the exocyclic sulfur atom of two heterocyclic thioamide units. Intense blue-green emission is observed in the region 470-483 nm for all the complexes in the solid state and in solution at ambient temperature.     

Copper(I) halide complexes with 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphano)-1,1′-binaphthyl (rac-binap) and heterocyclic thiones. Racemic compounds in chiral and achiral crystal space groups

Reactions of copper(I) halides with racemic 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphano)-1,1′-binaphthyl (rac-binap) in 1:1 molar ratio afforded mononuclear complexes of the type [CuX(rac-binap)] (X = Cl, Br, I) which, on further treatment with 1 equiv. of pyridine-2-thione (py2SH), pyrimidine-2-thione (pymtH) or 4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine-2-thione (dmpymtH) gave rise to the formation of mixed-ligand complexes of the formula [CuX(rac-binap)(thione)]. The molecular structures of [CuBr(rac-binap)(py2SH)] · 2CH₂Cl₂, [CuBr(rac-binap)(py2SH)] · CH₂Cl₂ and [CuBr(rac-binap)(dmpymtH)] · CH₂Cl₂ have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Each of the complexes features a distorted tetrahedral copper(I) center with the phosphane acting in a chelating fashion. The complexes are strongly luminescent in the solid state at ambient temperature. Unusually, the [CuBr(rac-binap)(py2SH)] · 2CH₂Cl₂ molecules crystallise in a chiral space group with independent S- and R-enantiomers in the asymmetric unit.     

Structures and luminescence properties of two copper(I) halide complexes featuring 2-(2-benzimidazolyl)-6-methylpyridine

Two new copper（I） halide complexes bearing 2-（2-benzimidazolyl）-6-methylpyridine（Hbmp） and PPh₃ ligands, Cu（Hbmp）（PPh₃）X（X = Br（1）;I（2））,have been synthesized and characterized.Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis reveals that the halide ligand has a significant impact on the Cu-N_pyridyl bond lengths.Complexes 1 and 2 show the solid-state emissions at ambient temperature,varying with the halide bound to the {Cu（Hbmp）（PPh₃）} motif,which are perhaps best attributed to the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer（Cu（I）→Hbmp） transition mixed with some ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer（X and PPh₃→Hbmp） character.     

A luminescent copper(I) bromide complex chelated with 4,5- bis (diphenylphosphano)-9,9-dimethyl-xanthene

The 1 : 1 molar-ratio reaction between copper(I) bromide and 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphano)-9,9-dimethyl-xanthene (xantphos) in acetonitrile results in the formation of [CuBr(xantphos)], which displays luminescent emission at room temperature. The molecular structure of the complex, established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, features a trigonal planar geometry around the metal center, with the diphosphane acting as a chelate. The high rigidity and steric requirements of the xanthene unit rationalize the unusual coordination number of Cu^I.     

Silver(I) and copper(I) complexes with ferrocenyl ligands bearing imidazole or pyridyl substituents

The reactions between five ferrocenyl derivatives containing both a CO and at least an imidazole or pyridine nitrogen atom and AgPF₆, AgOTf, or [Cu(NCCH₃)₄]PF₆ precursors were studied. The ligand {[bis(2-pyridyl)amino]carbonyl}ferrocene (L3), derived from (2-pyridyl)amine, favored tetrahedral coordination of Ag⁺ (with two ligands) and of Cu⁺ (with two acetonitrile ligands left from the precursor). In all the other ligands, both metal centers coordinated linearly to two ligands, preferring the imidazole or pyridinic nitrogen to other nitrogen atoms (amine) or oxygen donors.When the counter anions were triflate, the crystal structure showed a dimerization of the complex, with the ferrocenyl moieties occupying cis positions, by means of a weak Ag?Ag interaction. This was shown experimentally in the crystal structure of complex [Ag(L1)₂]OTf (L1 = ferrocenyl imidazole) and in the presence of peaks corresponding to {Ag₂(L2)₃(OTf)}⁺ and {Ag₂(L2)₄(OTf)}⁺ in the mass spectra of [Ag(L2)₂]OTf (L2 = ferrocenyl benzimidazole). In all complexes containing PF₆, there was no evidence for dimerization. Indeed, in the crystal structure of [Ag(L2)₂]PF₆, the ferrocenyl moieties occupy trans positions and the metal centers are far from each other. DFT calculations showed that the energy of the cis and trans conformers is practically the same and the balance of crystal packing forces leads to dimerization when triflate is present.     

Heterocyclic thioamides of copper(I): Synthesis and crystal structures of copper complexes with 1,3-imidazoline-2-thiones in the presence of triphenyl phosphine

Reaction of copper(I) chloride with 1,3-imidazoline-2-thione (imzSH) in the presence of Ph₃P in 1:2:2 or 1:1:2 (M:L:PPh₃) molar ratios yielded a compound of unusual composition, [Cu₂(imzSH)(PPh₃)₄Cl₂] · CH₃OH (1), whose X-ray crystallography has shown that its crystals consist of four coordinated [CuCl(1κS-imzSH)(PPh₃)₂] (1a), and three coordinated [Cu(PPh₃)₂Cl] (1b) independent molecules in the same unit cell. In contrast, crystals of complexes of copper(I) bromide/iodide are formed by single molecules of [CuBr(1κS-imzSH)(PPh₃)₂] · H₂O (2) and [CuI(1κS-imzSH)(PPh₃)₂] (3), respectively, similar to molecule 1a. The related ligand, 1,3-benzimidazoline-2-thione (bzimSH) formed a complex [CuBr(1κS-bzimSH)(PPh₃)₂] · CH₃COCH₃ (4), similar to 2. The formation of 1a and 1b has been also revealed by NMR spectroscopy. The NMR spectra of 2–4 also showed weak signals indicating formation of compounds similar to 1b. It reveals that the lability of the Cu–S bond varies in the order: Cl ? Br ∼ I. Weak interactions {e.g. C–H?π electrons of ring, –NH?halogens/oxygen, C–H?halogens/oxygen, π?π (between rings)} have played an important role in building 2D chains of complexes 1–4.     

Synthesis, characterization and luminescence properties of copper(I) complexes containing 2-phenyl-3-(benzylamino)-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-4(3H)-one and triphenylphosphine as ligands

Some copper(I) complexes of the formula [Cu(L)(PPh₃)₂]X (1-4) [where L = 2-phenyl-3-(benzylamino)-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-4(3H)-one; PPh₃ = triphenylphosphine; X = Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, ClO₄⁻ and BF₄⁻] have been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and ¹H NMR spectral studies. The representative complex of the series 4 has been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction which reveal that in the complex the central copper(I) ion assumes the irregular distorted-tetrahedral geometry. Cyclic voltammetry of the complexes indicate a quasireversible redox behavior corresponding to Cu(II)/Cu(I) couple. All the complexes exhibit intraligand (π → π^∗) fluorescence with high quantum yield in dichloromethane solution.     

Bis(diphenylphosphano)alkan- und 1-(Diphenylphosphano)-2-(2-pyridino)ethan-N-Arylsulfinylamin-Nickel(0)-Komplexe

Bis(diphenylphosphano)alkane- and 1-Diphenylphosphano-2-(2-pyridino)ethane-N-arylsulfinylamine Nickel(0) Complexes Synthesis and properties of the bis(diphenylphosphano)alkane-N-phenyl-sulfinylamine-nickel(0) complexes [Ni{Ph₂P(CH₂)_nPPh₂}(PhNSO)] (n = 2 dppe, n = 3 dppp, n = 4 dppb) as well as of the 1-(diphenylphosphano)-2-(2-pyridino)ethane nickel(0) complexes [Ni(dpppe)₂], [Ni(dpppe)(p-TolNSO)] and [Ni(dpppe)(PPh₃)₂] are described. These compounds have been characterized by i. r. and ³¹P n.m.r. spectroscopy. The N-arylsulfinylamine ligands are η²-(N, S)-side on coordinated.     

Cyanide thermodynamics 2. Stability constants of copper(I) cyanide complexes in aqueous acetonitrile mixtures

The stability (formation) constants of the binary Cu(I)-CN⁻ complexes have been measured in five aqueous mixtures containing from 10% to 70% v/v acetonitrile (MeCN) by glass electrode potentiometry at 25 °C and an ionic strength of l M (NaClO₄). The constants show monotonic increases with MeCN concentration, the changes being greatest for the higher order complexes, consistent with the unfavourable solvation of CN ⁻ in these mixtures. The sparing solubility of CuCN(s) prevented determination of the stability constant for CuCN ⁰ (soln.) at low MeCN concentrations.     

Synthesis, structure, spectroscopic properties, electrochemistry, and DFT correlative studies of N-[(2-pyridyl)methyliden]-6-coumarin complexes of Cu(I) and Ag(I)

6-Aminocoumarin reacts with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde and has synthesized N-[(2-pyridyl)methyliden]-6-coumarin (L). The ligand, L, reacts with [Cu(MeCN)₄]ClO₄/AgNO₃ to synthesize Cu(I) and Ag(I) complexes of formulae, [Cu(L)₂]ClO₄ and [Ag(L)₂]NO₃, respectively. While similar reaction in the presence of PPh₃ has isolated [Cu(L)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ and [Ag(L)(PPh₃)₂]NO₃. All these compounds are characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis and ¹H NMR spectroscopic data. In case of [Cu(L)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ and [Ag(L)(PPh₃)₂]NO₃, the structures have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The structure of the complexes are distorted tetrahedral in which L coordinates in a N,N′ bidentate fashion and other two coordination sites are occupied by PPh₃. The ligand and the complexes are fluorescent and the fluorescence quantum yields of [Cu(L)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ and [Ag(L)(PPh₃)₂]NO₃ are higher than [Cu(L)₂]ClO₄ and [Ag(L)₂]NO₃. Cu(I) complexes show Cu(II)/Cu(I) quasireversible redox couple while Ag(I) complexes exhibit deposition of Ag(0) on the electrode surface during cyclic voltammetric experiments. gaussian 03 computations of representative complexes have been used to determine the composition and energy of molecular levels. An attempt has been made to explain solution spectra and redox properties of the complexes.     

Darstellung und Struktur von Tetraethylcyclotetraarsoxan-Komplexen von Kupfer(I)-Halogeniden

Preparation and Structure of Tetraethylcyclotetraarsoxane Complexes of Copper(I) Halides The polymeric complexes [Cu₄Cl₄{cyclo-(C₂H₅AsO)₄}₃]_n ( 1 ), [Cu₃Br₃{cyclo-(C₂H₅AsO)₄}₂]_n ( 2 ) and [Cu₆I₆{cyclo-(C₂H₅AsO)₄}₃]_n ( 3 ) were prepared by the reaction of (C₂H₅AsO)_n and CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) in acetonitrile and characterised by X-ray analysis. All three complexes contain only tetramers (C₂H₅AsO)₄ as ligands, in which the As₄O₄ ring systems coordinate between two and four Cu-atoms. In each case one As₄O₄ ring with a crown-shaped conformation is observed, which coordinates either four (in 1 ) or three (in 2 and 3 ) axially sited Cu-atoms. In addition there are further (C₂H₅AsO)₄ ligands, which display either a boat-chair- (in 1 ) or a twist-chair-conformation (in 1–3 ). The individual building units are connected to one another via Cu? X? Cu bridges (in 2 and 3 ) and/or centrosymmetric As₄O₄ ring systems (in 1–3 ) into chain ( 1 ) or layer structures ( 2 und 3 ).     

Ion chromatographic analysis of cyanate in gold processing samples containing large concentrations of copper(I) and other metallocyanide complexes

An ion chromatographic (IC) method was developed for the determination of cyanate in gold cyanidation samples containing large concentrations of metallo-cyanide complexes. The analysis was performed on a Waters HC IC-Pak A anion-exchange column with an anthranilic acid eluent, with detection achieved using indirect UV at 355 nm. Two procedures were developed for removal of the metallo-cyanide complexes prior to the IC analysis. The first was a manual off-line method which used solid-phase extraction cartridges containing a strong anion-exchange resin to trap the complexes and to then enable determination of cyanate without interference. In the second approach, an automated on-line method was developed which used an anion-exchange guard column to trap the complexes and a column switching valve to allow backflushing of the cyanate from the guard column. This enabled the total analysis to be performed in a time of 10–14 min, depending on the sample composition. Finally, a comparison of results obtained by the standard Kjeldahl nitrogen method for cyanate and the IC method revealed an interference in the Kjeldahl method for samples containing large concentrations of Cu(I)-cyanide complexes.     

Synthesis,spectral characterization,properties and structures of copper(I) complexes containing novel bidentate iminopyridine ligands

Four new ligands, (4-methyl-phenyl)-pyridin-2-ylmethylene-amine (A), (2,3-dimethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-2-ylmethylene-amine (B), (2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-2-ylmethylene-amine (C) and (2,5-dimethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-2-ylmethylene-amine (D), and their corresponding copper(I) complexes, [Cu(A)₂]ClO₄ (1a), [Cu(B)₂]ClO₄ (1b), [Cu(C)₂]ClO₄ (1c), [Cu(D)₂]ClO₄ (1d), [Cu(A)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ (2a), [Cu(B)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ (2b), [Cu(C)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ (2c) and [Cu(D)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ (2d), have been synthesized and characterized by CHN analyses, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The crystal structures of [Cu(B)₂]ClO₄ (1b), [Cu(C)₂]ClO₄ (1c) and [Cu(A)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ · 1/2CH₃CN (2a) were determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination polyhedron about the copper(I) center in the three complexes is best described as a distorted tetrahedron. A quasireversible redox behavior is observed for the complexes.     

Synthesis,characterization and luminescent properties of copper(I) halide complexes containing biphenyl bidentate phosphine ligand

Copper(I) halide complexes having thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and phosphorescence have attracted much attention. Here, a series of four-coordinate dinuclear copper(I) halide complexes, [CuX(bpbp)]₂ (bpbp = 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl, X = I (1), Br (2) and Cl (3)), were synthesized, and their molecular structures and photophysical properties were investigated. The structural analysis reveals that two copper(I) centers are bridged by two halogen ligands to form a dinuclear structure with a four-membered Cu₂X₂ ring. These complexes exhibit yellow to blue emission in the solid state at room temperature and have peak emission wavelengths at 575–487 nm with microsecond lifetimes (τ = 6.2–19.8 μs) and low emission quantum yields (<0.01%). The emissions of 1–3 originate from MLCT, XLCT, and IL (intraligand) transitions. Three complexes displayed good thermal stability.     

Synthesis, structure, photochromism and DFT calculations of copper(I)-triphenylphosphine halide complexes of thioalkylazoimidazoles

[Cu(SRaaiNR′)(PPh₃)X] complexes are synthesized by the reaction of CuX (X = Cl, Br, I), triphenylphosphine and 1-alkyl-2-[(o-thioalkyl)phenylazo]imidazole (SRaaiNR′). The single crystal X-ray structure of [Cu(SEtaaiNH)(PPh₃)I] (SEtaaiNH = 2-[(o-thioethyl)phenylazo]imidazole) shows a distorted tetrahedral geometry of the copper center with bidentate, N(azo), N(imidazole) chelation of SEtaaiNH and coordination from PPh₃ and iodine. These complexes show a trans-to-cis isomerization upon irradiation with UV light. The reverse transformation, cis-to-trans isomerization, is very slow with visible light irradiation and is thermally accessible. The quantum yields (?_t→c) of the trans-to-cis isomerization of [Cu(SRaaiNR′)(PPh₃)X] are lower than the free ligand values. This is due to the increased mass and rotor volume of the complexes compared to the free ligand data. The rate of isomerization follows the order: [Cu(SRaaiNR′)(PPh₃)Cl] < [Cu(SRaaiNR′)(PPh₃)Br] < [Cu(SRaaiNR′)(PPh₃)I]. The activation energy (E_a) of the cis-to-trans isomerization is calculated by a controlled temperature reaction. DFT computation of representative complexes has been used to determine the composition and energy of the molecular levels.

Triphenylamine-substituted 2-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole copper(I) complexes: an experimental and computational investigation

Abstract

Four new heteroleptic copper(I) complexes bearing either 2-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole (pytri) or the related triphenylamine (TPA) substituted (TPA-tripy) ligands and the ancillary ligands 6,6′-dimesityl-2,2′-bipyridine (diMesbpy) or bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl] ether (POP) were synthesized in good yields (75-95%). All the complexes were extensively characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) and in the case of the two pytri compounds the solid state structures were determined via X-ray crystallography. The pytri complexes showed MLCT absorption bands which shift from 433?nm for the diMesbpy complex to 347?nm for POP. TPA-pytri complexes introduce an ILCT band resulting in improved visible absorption (376?nm, 26,400 M^?1 cm^?1 for [Cu(TPA-pytri)(diMesbpy)](PF₆)). Emission from this ILCT state (470?nm, Φ?=?0.08) was red-shifted compared to the free ligand with negligible effects from ancillary ligands. Band assignments were confirmed with resonance Raman spectroscopy and TD-DFT calculations.     

A one pot multi-component CuAAC “click” approach to bidentate and tridentate pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole ligands: Synthesis,X-ray structures and copper(II) and silver(I) complexes

A one pot, multi-component CuAAC reaction has been developed for the generation of alkyl, benzyl or aryl substituted bi and tridentate pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole ligands from their corresponding halides, sodium azide and alkynes in excellent yields. The ligands have been fully characterized by elemental analysis, HR-ESMS, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR and in the ferrocenyl substituted cases the structures were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Additionally, we have examined the coordination chemistry of these ligands and found that a variety of geometrically diverse Cu(II) and Ag(I) complexes, including interesting tri and tetrasilver complexes, can be formed.     

Synthese und Struktur des Kupferkomplexes 2-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridinato(2−)-dipyridin-kupfer(II) und des freien Liganden

Synthesis and Structure of the Copper Complex 2-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridinato(2?)dipyridin-copper(II) and of the free Ligand The tridentate diacidic ligand 2-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl)-6-phenyl-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine 4a was synthesized and characterized by X-ray structural analysis. The compound forms a copper complex, 2-(2-Hydroxy-5-methyl-phenyl)-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridinato(2?)-dipyridine copper(II), which was crystallized from pyridine solution. The coordination number of the central atom copper ist five.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization of copper(I) complexes with functionalized pyrazino[2,3-f]-1,10-phenanthroline

The present work reports the synthesis and spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization of homoleptic copper(I) complexes with substituted pirazino [2,3-f]-1,10-phenanthroline, RpplR′, (R = H, Me, COOH or COOMe, and R′ = H, Me) as ligand. The ligand ppl works as an acceptor of electronic density, which is delocalized mainly in the quinoxaline part of its structure. The UV–Vis spectra show that all the complexes display bands in the range 400–650 nm, which are MLCT in character. The λ_max and extinction coefficients of the MLCT band at 450 nm and the LC band do not change significatively when varying the R substituent. Nevertheless, the intensity of the shoulder around 500 nm does change; this absorption has been related to either a static or dynamic flattening distortion of the complex D_2d → D₂ symmetry. The cyclic voltammetry of the complexes shows irreversible redox processes with E_p values that do not follow the tendency expected from the donor/acceptor character of the substituents on the ligand. All the complexes studied showed no emission both in acetonitrile and dichloromethane as solvent at room temperature and under argon atmosphere.
