4,4′-Bipyridyl complexes of iron: Magnetic,Mössbauer and other spectroscopic studies

Summary 4,4-Bipyridyl (4,4-bipy) complexes of ferrous salts of the Fe(4,4-bipy)_x(anion)_y type (where x or y=1 or 2) and of ferric salts of the Fe(4,4-bipy)_m(anion)_n type (where m=1 or 2 and n=3) have been synthesised. Elemental analyses, i.r. and electronic spectra, magnetic and Mössbauer studies have been performed to characterize the complexes. 4,4-Bipy and some anions are inferred to act as bridging ligands. The magnetic moments, electronic and Mössbauer spectra suggest that the complexes are of high spin type with distorted octahedral structures. The value of the isomer shift and quadrupole splitting are discussed in terms of bonding of the ligand and anions.

3- and 4-Pyridinecarboxylic acidN-oxide complexes with manganese(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chlorides

Summary During interaction of ethanol-triethyl orthoformate solutions of nicotinic or isonicotinic acidN-oxides (LH and LH, respectively) with MCl₂ (M = Mn, Co, Ni), only one true adduct, of the Ni(LH)₃Cl₂ · 2 H₂O type was obtained. In all other cases, partial substitution of Cl^– ions with the corresponding pyridinecarboxylateN-oxide anionic ligands (L or L) occurred. As a result, mixed ligands (LH-L or LH-L) were precipitated, as follows: Mn(LH)₂LCl, Co(LH)LCl, Mn(LH)LCl · 4H₂O, Co(LH)LCl · H₂O and Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6 H₂O. The insolubility of the new complexes in all common solvents, combined with the pronounced tendency of the 3- and 4-pyridinecarboxylates and theirN-oxides to function as bidentate bridging ligands, favours bi- or polynuclear structures. Spectral data suggest that Ni(LH)₃Cl₂ · 2 H₂O is hexacoordinate, and the rest of the new complexes pentacoordinate. Bi- or polynuclear structures, involving double -M-(L)₂-M- or-M-(LH)₂-M- and single -M-(L)-M- or-M(L)-M-(LH)-M- bridges, were proposed on the basis of the overall evidence; additional features of the proposed structural types are: exclusively coordinated chloro ligands, in all cases; aqua ligands [Co(LH)LCl · H₂O]; lattice water [Ni(LH)₂Cl₂ · 2H₂O]; both lattice and coordinated H₂O [Mn(LH)LCl · 4H₂O, and Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6H₂O]; and, with the exception of Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6 H₂O, terminal, unidentate, N-O oxygen-bonded LH or LH ligands.Abstracted in part from the Ph.D. Thesis (in preparation) of L. S. Gelfand, Drexel University.

Summary Complexes of general formula ML_mCl₂ · nH₂O, where M=cobalt(II) or nickel(II); L=2-(4-methyl, 2-pyridyl)-benzimidazole (mpbi), 2-(4-methyl, 2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (mpbt), 2-(4-methyl, 2-pyridyl)benzoxazole (mpbo), 2-(4-methyl, 2-quinolyl)benzoxazole (mqbo), or 2-(4-methyl, 8-quinolyl)benzoxazole (mqbo); m=1,2; n=0–3, were prepared and characterized by t.g.a., conductance and magnetic measurements, i.r. and diffuse-reflectance electronic spectra.All the ligands behave as bidentate and coordinate through the pyridine- and isoxazole-nitrogen atoms.The nickel complexes have distorted octahedral or fivecoordinate structures. The cobalt complexes arepseudo-tet- rahedral except Co(mpbo)₂Cl₂·2H₂O where the metal is six-coordinate.     

New chiral acyclic analogs of 2′-deoxynucleosides

Convenient methods for the synthesis of chiral 2,3-seco-2-deoxynucleosides were developed. An isopropylidene protective group was used to block the 3,5-hydroxy groups in 2,3-seco-uridine. Conversion of the hydroxymethyl group to a methyl group was accomplished by chlorination with a mixture of CCl₄ and Ph₃P with subsequent reduction with n-Bu₃SnH. 2,3-seco-2-Deoxyuridine was obtained after deacetonation. The (S) enantiomer was similarly synthesized starting from 1-(-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil. 3-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-O-(p-monomethoxytrityl)-2,3-seco-2-deoxyuridine, which has optically active centers at C₍₁₎ and C₍₄₎, was also synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 822–826, June, 1988.The authors thank Professor M. Ya. Karpeiskii for his constant interest in this research.     

Solvent effects on substitution reactions at complexes of the [Fe(CN)5L]3- type in binary aqueous mixtures

Summary The kinetics of replacement of 4,4-bipyridine, (4,4-bipy), and 4-cyanopyridine, (4-CNpy), by cyanide in [Fe(CN)₅-(4,4-bipy)]^3-. at 298 K have been studied in binary aqueous mixtures containing different amounts of t-butanol, methanol, glycerol, ethyleneglycol and sucrose. The plots of logarithms of the limiting rate constantsversus the mole fraction of water are linear over the entire composition range studied, showing the importance of solvation phenomena. A different straight line of log (k_L/s^–1)versus X_H2O is obtained for each mixture, indicating the influence of other solvent parameters on the reaction rate. A multiparameter regression of G _exp with A (acidity vector), B (basicity vector) and G^E is used for both reactions; plots of G _calc versus G _exp are linear with slopes of near unity.     

31P{1H}-n.m.r. as a tool for identification of ruthenium isomers containing PPh3 or 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane ligands. X-ray structures of the cis-{RuCl2(PPh3)2 [4,4′-(-X)2-2,2′-bipy]} complexes [X=-H, -Me, -SMe and (-Cl, -Me)]

A series of cis-{RuCl₂(PPh₃)₂[4,4-(X)₂-2,2-bipy]} [cis-chlorines; X=-H, -Me, -SMe, and (-Cl,-Me)] complexes have had their structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The geometry of these complexes, also determined in CH₂Cl₂ solution by ³¹P{¹H}-n.m.r. spectroscopy, showed that the chemical shifts for the phosphorus atoms are slightly dependent on the pKa of the 4,4-(-X)₂-2,2-bipy ligands.     

Photochemical dehydrogenation of 3-acetyl-3,4-dihydrocoumarin

Summary The ultraviolet irradiation of air-saturated alcoholic solutions of 3-acetyl-3,4-dihydrocoumarin (1) leads to the formation of 3-acetylcoumarin (2) and 3,3-diacetyl-3,3,4,4-tetrahydro-4,4-biscoumarin (3). The presence of molecular oxygen is an indispensable condition for the occurrence of a photodehydrogenation process, which is quantitatively when effected on silica gel.

Copper(II) chloride complexes of 2-(4′-Methyl-2′-pyridyl)-benzoxazole,their sulphur and nitrogen analogues and 2-(4′-Methyl-2′ {or8′} -quinolyl)benzoxazoles

Summary Copper(II) complexes CuLCl₂, where L=2-(4-methyl-2-pyridyl)benzimidazole(mpbi); 2-(4-methyl-2-pyridyl)benzothiazole(mpbt); 2-(4-methyl-2-pyridyl)benzoxazole (mpbo); 2-(4-methyl-2-quinolyl)benzoxazole (mqbo); 2-(4-methyl8-quinolyl)benzoxazole (mqbo), and Cu(mpbi)₂Cl₂(H₂O) have been synthesized and characterized by conductivity and magnetic measurements as well as by i.r., electronic and e.s.r. spectra. The ligands are bidentate donors through the pyridine and isoxazole nitrogen atoms. The CuLCl₂ complexes exhibit spectral properties consistent with CuN₂Cl₂ chromophores differing in the degree of tetrahedral distortion, which is found to parallel the steric hindrance near the donor sites. Cu(mpbi)₂ Cl₂(H₂O) is five-coordinate.     

Mono- and dinuclear palladium(II) compounds containing nitrogen ligands. Crystal and molecular structure of [Pd(N,C-dmba)(NCO)(2,3-lut)] and [Pd(H2CCOMe)Cl(2,2′-bipy)]

The cyanate-bridged cyclopalladated compound [Pd(N,C-dmba)(-NCO)]₂ (1)(dmba = PhCH₂NMe₂) reacts in CH₂Cl₂ with 2,3-lutidine (2,3-lut), 3,4-lutidine (3,4-lut), 2,2-bipyridine (2,2-bipy) and 4,4-bipyridine (4,4-bipy), to give [Pd(N,C-dmba)(NCO)(2,3-lut)](2), [Pd(N,C-dmba)(NCO)(3,4-lut)](3), [{Pd(N,C-dmba)(NCO)}₂(-2,2-bipy)]· CH₂Cl₂ (4) and [{Pd(N,C-dmba)(NCO)}₂(-4,4-bipy)]· CH₂Cl₂ (5), respectively. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, i.r. and n.m.r. spectroscopy and also by t.g.a. The i.r. spectra of (2–5) display typical bands of monodentate N-bonded cyanate groups, whereas the n.m.r. data of (4) are consistent with the presence of a bridging 2,2-bipyridine ligand. Complex (4) decomposes slowly in acetone. One of the products formed, [Pd(H₂CCOMe)Cl(2,2-bipy)](6), was characterized by X-ray diffraction. As inferred from the t.g.a., the thermal stability decreases in the order:[{Pd(N,C-dmba)(NCO)}₂(-4,4-bipy)].CH₂Cl₂ (5) > [Pd(N,C-dmba)(2,3-lut)(NCO)](2)=[Pd(N,C-dmba)(3,4-lut)(NCO)](3) > [{Pd(N,C-dmba)(NCO)}₂(-2,2-bipy)]· CH₂Cl₂ (4). According to thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction patterns compounds (2–3) decompose into metallic palladium Pd(0), whereas (4–5) decompose with the formation of PdO. The X-ray crystal and molecular structure of [Pd(N,C-dmba)(NCO)(2,3-lut)](2) was determined. The lutidine unit is perpendicular to the coordination plane.

Two strong emitting coordination polymers with chain and ladder structures

Two coordination polymers [Zn(Cabo)₂(EtOH)₂(4,4-Bipy)] _n (1), and [Zn₂(Cabo)₂(NO₃)₂(4,4-Bipy)₂] _n (2) (Cabo = carbazolylacetate, 4,4-Bipy = 4,4-bipyridine) with chain and ladder structures, respectively, were prepared and characterized by X-ray single-crystal structural analysis. The results showed that the different anions of metal salts have a large effect on the construction of coordination frameworks. Both complexes show strong emissions in the solid state as well as high thermal stability.

Polynuclear rhodium(I) complexes with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-bipyrazole and 4,4′-methylen-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazole)

Summary The reaction of [RhClY₂]₂ (Y₂ = diolefin; Y = CO) with 3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-4,4-bipyrazole and 4,4-methylen-bis (3,5-dimethylpyrazole) (H₂LL) leads to binuclear complexes of the type (H₂LL) [RhClY₂]₂. The addition of triethylamine to the latter complexes gives polynuclear [(LL){RhY₂}₂]_n derivatives. Related compounds of formula [(LL){RhX(PPh₃)}₂]_n (X = CO or CS) are also reported.Part of this paper was presented at the VIIIth International Congress of Heterocyclic Chemistry which was held in Graz, Austria.

Rhodium(I) carbonyl complexes with α-diimine ligands containing amino or hydroxy substituents

-Diimines, RN:C(R)C(R):NR(LL) derived from glyoxal, GLL (R=H) abbreviated as GAA (R= R=4-dimethylaminophenyl) or GHA (R= R=4-hydroxyphenyl), and derived from biacetyl, BLL (R=Me) abbreviated as BDH (R=R= NH₂), BOH (R=NH₂, R=OH) react with carbonylrhodium(I) compounds to give different products depending on the imino substituents in the ligand and/or the solvent employed. The reaction of -diimines bearing amino groups, such as GAA or BDH with [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ in acetone yields binuclear [RhCl(CO)₂]₂(-LL) while in CH₂Cl₂ ionic [Rh- (CO)₂(LL)]⁺[RhCl₂(CO)₂]^– species are obtained. In acetone [RhCl(CO)₂]₂(-GAA) exists as an equilibrium mixture between two different neutral binuclear species; [Rh(CO)₂(BDH)]⁺ exists as a mixture of two species containing chelate or monodentate bonded diimine respectively. GAA or BDH react in situ with [RhCl(CO)(C₂H₄)]₂ in benzene to yield tetracoordinated monocarbonylated [RhCl(CO)(LL)] compounds. -Diimines (LL) bearing hydroxy groups, such as GHA or BOH react with [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ or [RhCl(CO)(C₂H₄)]₂ to give pentacoordinated dicarbonylated [RhCl(CO)₂(LL)] compounds.     

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.
