Indium(III) complexes with some salicylidene aromaticSchiff bases

In(III) complexes with salicylidene aromaticSchiff bases have been prepared. The nature of the complexes has been studied by microanalysis of the solid complexes, conductometric titration, uv and ir spectrophotometric measurements. The complexes are of the type 11 and 21 [Ligand: In(III)] depending upon theSchiff base. The tendency of the salicylideneSchiff base molecule towards complex formation with In(III) is found to depend largely on the strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bond established between the aldehydic OH group and C=N. Furthermore, it is concluded that theseSchiff bases cordinate to In(III) as tri- or bidentate ligands depending upon the molecular structure of theSchiff base (not as monodentate ligand as previously described). The high molar absorbance of the 12 In(III) complex with salicylidene-o-hydroxyaniline I (17,800 mol^–1 cm²) can be applied for the micro determination of small amounts of Indium as low as 0.57 g/ml solution.

Indium(III)-Komplexe mit aromatischen Schiff-Basen

Zusammenfassung Es wurden einige In(III)-Komplexe mit (von Salicylaldehyd hergeleiteten)Schiff-Basen hergestellt. Elementaranalyse, konduktometrische Titration und UV- sowie IR-Spektroskopie wurden zur Aufklärung der Komplexe herangezogen. Es werden je nach verwendeterSchiff-Base 11-oder 21-Komplexe gebildet. Die Bildungstendenz der Komplexe mit denSchiff-Basen als drei- oder zweizähnige Liganden hängt weitgehend von Stärke und Ausbildungsmöglichkeit von H-Brückenbindungen ab. Einer der beschriebenen Komplexe ist zur photometrischen Mikrobestimmung von In(III) geeignet.

     

New thallium(III) chloride complexes with pyridine carboxylic acids: from molecular compounds to supramolecular associations

Reactions of TlCl₃ with picolinic acid (Hpic), nicotinic acid (Hnic), isonicotinic acid (Hinic) and 3-hydroxy-picolinic acid (H3hpic) afford the isolation of new chlorothallium(III) complexes. The compounds are characterized by IR, Raman and multinuclear NMR (¹H,¹³C,²⁰⁵Tl). The molecular structures of [TlCl₂(pic)(Hpic)]·0.5H₂O (1), [TlCl₂(nic)(Hnic)] (2), [TlCl(inic)₂]·0.6C₂H₅OH (3) and [TlCl(3hpic)₂(h3hpic)] (4) are determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A distorted octahedral TlCl₂N₂O₂ core containing the O,N-chelating ligands is achieved in the monomeric complex 1. The coordination polyhedron in compounds 2–4 is pentagonal bipyramidal, i.e. TlCl₂NO₄ in 2, and TlClN₂O₄ in 3 and 4, respectively. O,O′,N-Bridging ligands result in a polymer chain for 2 and a three-dimensional polymeric association in 3, while compound 4 is monomeric (O, N-and O,O-chelating ligands).     

Ion association in solutions of dimethylthallium(III) hydroxide

From studies of the specific hydroxide ion catalyzed decomposition of diacetone alcohol by dimethylthallium(III) hydroxide at 25°C, it is concluded that both ion pairs (dissociation constantK=0.090 mole-dm^–3) and dimers (dimerization constantK _d=1.5 dm³-mole^–1) exist in aqueous solution.Request for reprints should be addressed to: Dr. A.

Syntheses,characterization and thermal properties of lanthanide complexes with 2-mercaptonicotinic acid

Fourteen new complexes with the general formula of Ln(Hmna)₃·nH₂O (n=2 for Ln=La-Ho and n=1 for Er-Lu, H₂mna=2-mercaptonicotinic acid) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermogravimetric analyses. In addition, molar specific heat capacities were determined by a microcalorimeter at 298.15 K. The IR spectra of the prepared complexes revealed that carboxyl groups of the ligands coordinated with Ln(III) ions in bidentate chelating mode. Hydrated complexes lost water molecules during heating in one step and then the anhydrous complexes decomposed directly to oxides Ln₂O₃, CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁ and Tb₄O₇. The values of molar specific heat capacities for fourteen solid complexes were plotted against the atomic numbers of lanthanide, which presented as ‘tripartite effect’. It suggested a certain amount of covalent character existed in the bond of Ln³⁺ and ligands, according with nephelauxetic effect of 4f electrons of rare earth ions.

[M(SRaaiNR′)Cl₃] (M = Rh(III), Ir(III) and SRaaiNR′ = 1-alkyl-2-{(o-thioalkyl)phenylazo}imidazole) complexes are described in this article. The single crystal X-ray structure of one of the complexes, [Rh(SMeaaiNEt)Cl₃] (3b), shows a tridentate chelation of SMeaaiNEt via N(imidazole), N(azo) and S(thioether) donor centres. Spectral characterization has been done by IR, UV–Vis and ¹H NMR data. The electronic structure, redox properties and spectra are well supported by DFT and TDDFT computation on the complexes.

X-Ray and EPR study on copper (II) complexes with an enamine ligand

The enamine (HEAID) obtained from aniline and 2-acetyl-1,3-indandione (2AID) behaves as a bidentate ligand in coordination with copper (II) ion. Two types of crystals, apparently different in shape, were isolated and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray data for the brown rhombic crystals of compound 1 shows a mononuclear complex of Cu(II) coordinated with two EAID-anions, Cu(EAID)₂. The X-ray data for the green crystals of compound 2 shows a dinuclear Cu(II) complex with two OH⁻ groups acting as bridging ligands, [Cu₂(μ-OH)₂(EAID)₂]. In both cases the ligand coordinates after deprotonation of the amine group.

Crystal structure and luminescence of antimony(III) bromide with aniline

The atomic structure of antimony(III) bromide crystals with anilinium was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis of (C₆H₅NH₃)₂SbBr₅ (a = 19.704(3) Å, b = 7.914(1) Å, c = 25.556(4) Å; space group Pbca, Z = 8, ρ_calc = 2.365 g/cm³).

The geometrical aspects that determine the luminescent spectral properties of the complex are discussed.     

Mononuclear gallium(III) complexes based on salicylaldoximes: Synthesis,structure and spectroscopic characterization

The reactions of Ga(acac)₃ with salicylaldoxime (saoH₂) and methyl-salicylaldoxime (Me-saoH₂) in dichloromethane/hexane afforded the complexes [Ga(acac)(saoH)₂] (1) and [Ga(acac)₃][Ga(acac)(MesaoH)₂] (2), respectively, in high yields. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography.

Crystal structure and luminescence of europium(III) acrylate

The atomic structure of europium acrylate crystals [Eu₂(Acr)₅OH·3H₂O]·2(0.5H₂O) was studied by X-ray analysis (a = 24.360(3) Å, b = 18.466(2) Å, c = 8.5818(9) Å, β = 96.087(2)°, space group C2/c, Z = 6, ρ_calc = 2.036 g/cm³). The crystal structure involves chains of binuclear [Eu₂(C₃H₃O₂)₅OH·3H₂O] molecules, running infinitely in the [101] direction and having pairs of C₉H₉EuO₇H₂O molecules alternating with C₆H₆EuO₄OH·2H₂O molecules that link the pairs. The infinite chains are linked by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions. The thermal behavior of luminescence of the europium(III) complex is discussed.     

1-(2′-Pyridylazo)-2-naphtholate (PAN) complexes of rhodium(III): Synthesis,structure and spectral studies

The ligating properties 1-(2′-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (HPAN) toward Rh(III) have been examined. The reaction of RhCl₃·3H₂O with HPAN in presence of excess PPh₃ afforded trans-[Rh(PAN)Cl(PPh₃)₂]PF₆ (3PF₆). Intermediate cis-[Rh(PAN)Cl₂(PPh₃)] (4) has also been isolated. Solid state structures were authenticated by X-ray analyses revealing that monoanionic PAN is coordinated to rhodium in meridional fashion. Both the compounds were spectroscopically characterized in both solution and solid states, which include IR, NMR (¹H and ³¹P), and optical spectra. The diamagnetic complexes show multiple CT transitions in the visible region. Low-energy transitions (λ ≈ 550–650 nm) occurred in the absorption spectra are predominantly ligand centered in nature. The rhodium(III)–PAN compounds are red emissive (λ_em ≈ 650 nm) at room temperature and the nature of the emission level is probably an ILCT level. Complexes are electro-active in acetonitrile and display irreversible oxidative and reductive waves and these responses are ascribed to be PAN ligand centered in character.     

Synthesis and characterization of Pr(III), Nd(III) and Er(III) complexes with 2,6-pyridinedimethanol

The reactions of Ln(NO₃)₃?6H₂O (Ln=Pr, Nd or Er) with the potentially tridentate O,N,O chelating ligand 2,6-pyridinedimethanol (H₂pydm) in a 1:2 M ratio were investigated, and complexes with the formula [Ln(H₂pydm)₂(NO₃)₂](NO₃) (Ln=Pr or Nd) (1 and 2) and [Er(H₂pydm)₃](NO₃)₃ (3) were isolated. The compounds contain 10-coordinate Pr(III) and Nd(III) ions that crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1 while the 9-coordinate Er(III) complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system (P2₁/n). A new lanthanide complex, [Pr(H₂pydm)₃](Cl)₃?DMF (4), has been synthesized by reaction of PrCl₃?6H₂O and H₂pydm. The nine-coordinate Pr(III) is bound to three H₂pydm ligands. X-ray crystal structures of 1–4 reveal that the ligand coordinates tridentate via the pyridyl nitrogen and the two hydroxyl oxygens. The electronic absorption spectra of 1–4 show 4f–4f transitions.     

Ligational behaviour of thiosemicarbazide and thiosemicarbazone-(III): Tetragonal complexes of cobalt(II) derived from 4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazide and 1-(α-) furyl-4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazone

Ligational behaviour of thiosemicarbazide and thiosemicarbazone-(III): Tetragonal complexes of cobalt(II) derived from 4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazide and 1-(-) furyl-4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazone

A number of new complexes of cobalt(II) have been prepared with 4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazide (BTSC) and 1-(-)furyl-4-benzylamidothiosemicarbazone (FBTS) which conform to the general formula CoL ₂ X ₂ (whereL=BTSC andFBTS andX=Cl, Br, I, NO₃ and NCS). These have been characterized by chemical analyses and physical measurements. The tetragonal symmetry has been proposed on the basis of electronic spectral studies for all these complexes. The explanation for the slightly lower magnetic moments for cobalt(II) complexes has been sought in the possible presence of low symmetry component. The tetragonal radial parametersDq(E),Dq(A),Dt andDs and molecular orbital parameters d and d have been evaluated. The S–N, bidentate nature of the ligands and the presence of the various anions in the coordination sphere have been confirmed on the basis of additional Co–N, Co–S and Co–X frequencies in the far infrared spectra of the complexes. The nitrato and thiocyanato groups act as monodentate and are coordinated through oxygen and nitrogen atoms, respectively.
