Synthesis,crystal structures and magnetic properties of two iron (II) tris(pyridyl)phosphine selenides complexes

We reported the synthesis of tris(pyridyl)phosphine selenide (TppSe) and tris(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)phosphine selenide (MeTppSe), which were prepared by a simple and straightforward one-pot method with red phosphorus in a KOH/DMSO suspension, and treatment of resulted phosphines with selenium in hot toluene. These compounds were characterized by mass spectroscopy, ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectroscopies and the structure of MeTppSe was characterised by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, The reactions of selenides with Fe(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O afforded two new iron(II) mononuclear metal complexes [Fe(TppSe)₂][ClO₄]₂·3DMF (1) and [Fe(MeTppSe)₂][ClO₄]₂·2DMF (2). Detailed structural analyses and magnetic susceptibility measurements confirm no spin transition from low-spin to the high-spin state between 2 and 300 K in two iron(II) complexes.     

Fullerene polypyridine ligands: synthesis, ruthenium complexes, and electrochemical and photophysical properties

Fullerene coordination ligands bearing one bipyridine or terpyridine unit were synthesized, and their coordination to ruthenium(II) formed linear rod-like donor-acceptor systems. Steady-state fluorescence of [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy-C(60))](2+) showed a rapid solvent-dependent, intramolecular quenching of the ruthenium(II) MLCT excited state. Time-resolved flash photolysis in CH(3)CN revealed characteristic transient absorption changes that have been ascribed to the formation of the C(60) triplet state, suggesting that photoexcitation of [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy-C(60))](2+) results in a rapid intramolecular transduction of triplet excited state energy. The electrochemical studies on both [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy-C(60))](2+) and [Ru(tpy)(tpy-C(60))](2+) indicated electronic coupling between the metal center and the fullerene core.     

The spin-states and spin-transitions of mononuclear iron(II) complexes of nitrogen-donor ligands

A survey of mononuclear iron(II) complexes with heterocyclic N-donor ligation is presented. A brief introduction to spin-crossover chemistry and low-temperature spin-trapping is provided, since many of these compounds undergo thermal spin-transitions upon cooling or heating. These are highlighted, and the structural changes underlying spin-crossover are discussed where this is known. Materials showing spin-trapping behaviour following thermal quenching or irradiation at very low temperatures are also described.

Synthesis and structures of metallocene complexes of iron(II) and ruthenium(II) derived from 9,9′-spirobifluorene

Reaction between 9,9′-spirobifluorene and [CpM]⁺ (where M = Fe and Ru) equivalents gives the complexes [CpRu(η⁶-SBF)][PF₆] (1), [(CpRu)₂(η⁶,η⁶-SBF)][PF₆]₂ (2) and [(CpFe)₂(η⁶,η⁶-SBF)][PF₆]₂ (3), respectively. Single crystal X-ray structures of 1 and 3 show that the metal atoms exhibit distorted η⁶-coordination to SBF phenyl moieties primarily as a consequence of steric interactions between Cp and SBF. The structure of 3 contains each of the possible C₂ enantiomers whereas NMR spectroscopy shows signals consistent with a 1:1 mixture of C₂ and C₁ stereoisomers for both 2 and 3. In conjunction with electrochemical data the observations are consistent with SBF acting as a molecule containing two independent biphenyl moieties.

Synthesis and structures of two molybdenum(VI) complexes derived from similar benzohydrazone ligands with catalytic properties

Two new structurally similar molybdenum(VI) complexes, [MoO₂L¹(CH₃OH)] (1) and [MoO₂L²(CH₃OH)] (2), where L¹ is the dianionic form of N′-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzylidene)-2-methylbenzohydrazide and L² is the dianionic form of N′-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-methylbenzohydrazide, were prepared and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with unit cell dimensions a?=?7.941(1), b?=?14.337(2), c?=?15.141(2)?Å, β?=?92.782(2)°, V?=?1721.8(4)?ų, Z?=?4, R₁?=?0.0286, wR₂?=?0.0650, GOOF?=?1.028. 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with unit cell dimensions a?=?8.003(1), b?=?10.608(1), c?=?10.880(1)?Å, α?=?95.745(2)°, β?=?97.627(2)°, γ?=?105.762(2)°, V?=?872.0(2)?ų, Z?=?2, R₁?=?0.0226, wR₂?=?0.0595, GOOF?=?1.116. X-ray analysis indicates that Mo in the complexes are coordinated by the phenolate oxygen, imino nitrogen, and enolate oxygen of the benzohydrazone, methanol, and two oxo groups, generating octahedral coordination. The oxidation of olefins with the complexes as catalysts was evaluated, indicating that the complexes showed excellent catalytic efficiency in oxidation of most aliphatic and aromatic substrates under mild conditions using tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide as oxidant.     

Synthesis,structure and spectroscopic study of Cu(II) polypyridine complexes with phenylcyanamide derivative ligands

Several new mononuclear copper(II) complexes, [Cu(phen)₂L]PF₆, where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and L = monoanions of phenylcyanamide (pcyd), 2,5-dichlorophenylcyanamide (2,5-Cl₂pcyd), 2-dichlorophenylcyanamide (2-Clpcyd) and 4-methylphenylcyanamide (4-Mepcyd), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, UV–Vis, IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopies and cyclic voltammetry. [Cu(phen)₂(2,5-Cl₂pcyd)]PF₆ crystallized with a molecule of acetone with empirical formula of C₃₁H₂₀N₆OF₆Cl₂PCu in a triclinic crystal system and space group P 1 with a = 9.2086(6) Å, b = 13.3117(9) Å, c = 15.5313(10) Å, α = 107.8210(10)°, β = 104.6180(10)°, γ = 104.1670(10)°, V = 1643.21(19) ų and Z = 2. The structure was refined using 7555 Mo-Kα reflections with I > 2σ(I) and R ₁ = 0.0276 and Rw = 0.0692. The results are consistent with a mostly σ bonding interaction between Cu(II) and cyanamide anion. The LMCT band intensity and electrochemical potentials are compared with ruthenium phenylcyanamide analogues.     

Coordination polymers derived from magnesium and barium complexes of redox-active ligands

The reactions of monomeric complexes [(dpp-bian)M(THF)_n](M = Mg, n = 3; M = Ba, n = 5; dpp-bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-di-isopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) with 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy) in THF proceed with electron transfer from dpp- bian2– to 4,4'-bipy0 to afford 1D coordination polymers [(dpp-bian)M(4,4'-bipy)(THF)_n]_m (M = Mg, n = 1; M = Ba, n = 2) that contain simultaneously radical anion ligands dpp-bian– and 4,4'-bipy . Addition of DME to coordination polymer [(dpp-bian)Mg(4,4'-bipy)(THF)_n]_m results in fragmentation of polymeric chains to give dinuclear magnesium species [{(dpp-bian)Mg(DME)}₂(4,4'-bipy)]. Barium analogue [{(dpp-bian)Ba(DME)₂}₂(4,4'-bipy)] has been prepared by reacting of complex [(dpp-bian)Ba(DME)2.5] with 4,4'-bipy in DME.

In this study, 5-bromosalicyliden-p-aminoacetophenoneoxime (LH) was synthesized starting from p-aminoacetophenoneoxime and 5-bromosalicylaldehyde. Complexes of this ligand with Co^+?2, Ni^+?2, Cu^+?2 and Zn^+?2 were prepared with a metal?:?ligand ratio of 1?:?2.

Crystal structures and DNA cleavage activities of two mononuclear nickel(II) complexes

Two new nickel complexes, [Ni(L₁)₂]?·?2(CH₃OH) (1) and [Ni(L₂)₂]?·?2(CH₃OH) (2), where HL₁ is 4-chloro-2-((2-hydroxy-ethylimino)methyl)phenol and HL₂ is 4-fluoro-2-((2-hydroxy-ethylimino)methyl)phenol, have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis absorption spectra. The coordination polyhedron of nickel(II) in each complex can be described as distorted octahedral. The interactions between the complexes and calf thymus (CT)-DNA/DNA were investigated by UV-Vis spectra and agarose gel electrophoresis. The results show that the complex transforms supercoiled to nicked form and exhibits effective DNA cleavage activity via hydrolytic cleavage mechanism.

Synthesis, characterisation and X-ray structures of diorganotin(IV) and iron(III) complexes of dianionic terdentate Schiff base ligands

Diorganotin(IV) complexes, [SnR₂L] (1)-(4), (R = Me, Ph), of the terdentate Schiff bases N-[(2-pyrroyl)methylidene]-N′-tosylbenzene-1,2-diamine (H₂L¹) and N-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)metylidene]-N′-tosylbenzene-1,2-diamine (H₂L²) have been synthesised. The complexes were obtained by addition of the appropriate ligand to a methanol suspension of the corresponding diorganotin(IV) dichloride in the presence of triethylamine. However, the reaction between the precursor [η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂]₂SnCl₂ and the Schiff bases in the presence of triethylamine gave (5) and (6), respectively. The crystal structures of the ligands and complexes have been studied by X-ray diffraction. The structure of [SnR₂L] complexes shows the tin to be five-coordinate in a distorted square pyramidal environment with the dianionic ligand acting in a terdentate manner. In 5 and 6, the iron atom is in a slightly distorted octahedral environment and is meridionally coordinated by two ligands. Spectroscopic data for the ligands and complexes (IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and mass spectra) are discussed and related to the structural information.

Crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation of chiral-at-metal ruthenium(II) complexes bearing achiral ligands

Recently, we observed that the enantiopure Lambda form of the tributylammonium salt of the chiral anion tris[tetrachlorobenzene-1,2-bis(olato)]phosphate, also named Trisphat, was able to induce an efficient resolution of a Delta,Lambda racemic mixture of cis-[Ru(dmp)2(NCCH3)2](PF6)2 (dmp=2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) due to the spontaneous and selective precipitation of the heterochiral pair [Delta-Ru(dmp)2(CH3CN)2][Lambda-Trisphat]2. We report here that the combination of such a stereoselective precipitation process and irradiation results in the quantitative conversion of the initial [Ru(dmp)2(NCCH3)2]2+ racemate into only one of the two enantiomers. This is the first example in inorganic chemistry of an asymmetric transformation that leads to a chiral complex with no chiral ligand. Finally, three new racemic ruthenium bis(diimine) complexes, namely [Ru(dmp)2(NCCH3)Py](PF6)2 (Py=pyridine), [Ru(dmp)2(1,3-diaminopropane)](PF6)2, and [Ru(dmp)2(ethylenediamine)](PF6)2 were synthesized. For all of them, crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation proved to be an efficient way of obtaining the corresponding optically active chiral-at-metal complexes in high yields and with excellent stereoselectivities.     

DNA modification by cis-diaminoplatinum(ii) complexes with aminonitroxide ligands

The mixed-ligand complexes cis-Pt^II[R(CH₂)_nNH₂](NH₃)X₂, where R = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-oxylpiperidin-4-yl, X₂ = ClI or Cl₂, n = 1 or 2, and binuclear complexes trans-3,4-bis[cis-ammine(iodochloro or dichloro)platinum(ii)amino]-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyls were synthesized. The reactivity of the aminonitroxide complexes toward DNA, the destabilizing effect of the adducts on DNA structure, and the distribution of the Pt adducts along the DNA duplex were studied. The platination activity of the complexes is affected by the natures of both the leaving ligands X and the carrying amino ligands. The decrease in the platination activity of the complexes with an increase in the amino ligand sizes is probably caused by steric hindrance. The complexes that effectively platinate isolated DNA and cause a moderate destabilizition of DNA duplex possess high antitumor activities.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of Group 6 metal carbonyl complexes containing S-rich bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands

The reaction of 3(5)-methylthio-5(3)-phenylpyrazole with dibromomethane under phase-transfer catalytic conditions only affords a new ligand, bis(3-phenyl-5-methylthiopyrazol-1-yl)methane. However, the reaction of 3(5)-methylthio-5(3)-p-methoxyphenylpyrazole or 3(5)-methylthio-5(3)-tert-butylpyrazole with dibromomethane under the same conditions yields three isomers, respectively, indicating that the substituents significantly affect the steric and electronic properties of pyrazole ring during the formation of ligands. Treatment of these potential polydentate ligands with M(CO)₆ (M=Cr, Mo or W) under UV irradiation at room temperature affords (NN)M(CO)₄ derivatives, in which some complexes contain asymmetric substituted bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands. The X-ray crystal structure analyses indicate that the sulfur atoms in these complexes do not take part in the coordination to the metal centers, and S-rich bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes actually act as bidentate chelating ligands by two nitrogen atoms. It is also interesting that in order to reduce the repulsion of methyl groups with carbonyls, the methyl groups in these complexes are oriented away from the metal centers.
