Synthesis and Molecular Structure of Phosphorus-Sulfur Hybrid Atom Ligand and Their Palladium Complexes With the Studies on the C—H Bond Activation and Photochemical Carbonylation Reaction of Benzene

In this paper, a novel and ideal synthetic method of the phosphorus and sulfur hybrid atom ligand is reported. The speciality of this method is that the by-products of some reactions could be used circularly as starting materials in the synthetic route. Further, we synthesized a series of organopalladium complexes containing these hybrid atom chelate ligands, among them the molecular structures of novelorganopalladium complexes Pd((i-Pr)_2-P(CH_2)_2SEt)Cl_2, Pd(Et_2P(CH_2)_2SEt)Cl_2 and Pd(Ph_2P(CH_2)_2SEt)Cl_2 were determined by using the X-ray single crystal diffraction method. We first used the organotransition metal complexes containing phosphorus and sulfur hybrid atom ligands to activate the σ-C—H bond, and researched the catalytic activity, i.e. the photochemical carbonylation of benzene was catalyzed by these palladium complexes.     

Theoretical Studies on the Cu-Cu Interaction and Stability of [Cu_a(Ph_2Ppy)_b(CH_3CN)_c]~(a+) (a=1～2,b=1～3,c=0～2)

To study the Cu-Cu interaction and stability of the title complexes,the structures of complexes [Cu(Ph2Ppy)(CH3CN)]+ 1,[Cu(Ph2Ppy)]+ 2,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2(CH3CN)2]2+ 3,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2(CH3CN)]2+ 4,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2]2+ 5 and [Cu2(Ph2Ppy)3(CH3CN)]2+ 6 were calculated by density functional theory PBE0 method,and the following conclusions can be drawn:(1) There is no orbital overlapping between two Cu atoms,indicating no Cu-Cu orbital interaction exists in complexes 3～6.Due to a breakdown of the closed shell configuration of Cu atoms,the weak Cu-Cu interactions result from the 3dCu → 4sCu' charge-transfer in 4～6.The Cu-Cu interaction strength follows 5 6 4,implying that there are stronger Cu-Cu interactions in the complexes with fewer CH3CN or more Ph2Ppy ligands.(2) The calculated interaction energies suggest that the coordination of Cu to Ph2Ppy is stronger than that to CH3CN.In 3～6,there are weaker interactions between Cu and CH3CN or Ph2Ppy in the complexes with more CH3CN or Ph2Ppy ligands.(3) The P-Cu and N-Cu interactions are much stronger than the Cu-Cu interaction,so we mainly attribute the stabilities of the binuclear complexes to the eight-membered rings Cu2P2N2C2.

Metal-induced Coordination Networks Using a C_(2v)-based Hexacarboxylate Ligand:Syntheses,Structures and Properties

Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs), consisting of metal, anion and organic ligands, have attracted much attention. The structure of MOFs is affected by various factors. To explore the effects of metal ions, we synthesized six complexes, namely {[Me_2NH_2][Zn_4(H_2L)(L)]·2 H_2O·2 DMF}_n(1), {[Me_2NH_2]_2[Cd_2(L)]·2H_2O}_n(2), {[Me_2NH_2]_2[Ca_3(L)(μ-OH)_2(DMF)_2]·2H_2O}_n(3) and {[Me_2NH_2]_2[M_2(L)(μ-OH)]· H_2O·2DMF}_n(M = Co, 4; Ni, 5; Mn, 6), from a C_(2v)-based hexacarboxylate ligand([1,1';4',1']terphenyl-3,5,2',5',3',5'-hexacarboxylic acid(H_6L)) using metal-induced strategy.

Synthesis,Structure and Slow Magnetization Relaxation of Co(Ⅱ) Complexes from a Flexible Imidazole-based Ligand

The employment of a flexible imidazole-based ligand(H_2L), condensed from 1 Himidazole-2-carbaldehyde and 1,2-bis(aminooxy)ethane, and Co~(2+) salt has led to the formation of Co(Ⅱ) complexes [Co(H_2L)_2Cl]Cl·4CH_3OH(1) and [Co(H_2L)(NCS)_2]_2·2C_4H_(10)O(2), in the presence of different anions, i.e, Cl-and SCN-, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray analyses show that complex 1 with a square pyramid(C_(4v)) local environment exhibits a two-dimensional(2D)layered(4,4)-net framework and complex 2 displays a dinuclear molecule box with a T_d local environment. By comparison between complexes 1 and 2, the versatile configuration of ligand including cis-and trans-form isomer has a significant effect on the structures of the resulting complexes. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 are also investigated. The ac magnetic susceptibility revealed that 2 exhibits the characteristic of slow magnetization relaxation.

Complex 1 displays a one dimensional (1D) chain based on the binuclear [Co2 (NPH)2 ] units and 3-bpcb ligands, which is extended into a three dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework through hydrogen bonding and - stacking interactions. In complex 2, the (3,5)-connected two dimensional (2D) layers are constructed from 1D Co-NIPH chains and bidentate-bridging 3-bpcb ligands. Complex 3 is a 2D double layer based on Co-5-H2 AIP 2D layers and 3-bpcb pillars. Complex 4 also displays a 2D network, which is constructed from the Co-5-H2AIP 1D double chains and 3-bpcd ligands. Finally, complexes 2-4 are extended into 3D supramolecular frameworks by hydrogen bonding or - stacking interactions. The substituent groups of dicarboxylates play an important role in the assembly and structures of the title complexes. In addition, the fluorescent properties of complexes 1-4 and the electrochemical behaviors of 3 and 4 at room temperature have been investigated.     

Halogen Mediated Self-assembly of Three Mixed Valent Cu(Ⅰ)/Cu(Ⅱ) Complexes

Complex 2 consists of a one-dimensional chain-dppzC u(Ⅱ)-Clμ_2-Cu(Ⅰ)-Cl-dppzC u(Ⅱ)-Clμ_2-Cu(Ⅰ)-with Cu(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅰ) atoms linked together by chloride anion. Complex 3 is a discrete complex,which is the same as complexes 1 and 2 involving two different copper valent Cu(Ⅰ) and Cu(Ⅱ). The Cu(Ⅰ) ion presents a pseudo-trihedral geometry,while the Cu(Ⅱ) ion presents a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry. This fact proved that halogen ions play a vital role in the assembly procedure. Our research results demonstrate the structural diversification that can be achieved by halogen ions mediated. Moreover,halogen ions-mediated self-assembly may provide useful information for further design of compounds with novel structures and properties.

The coordination sphere of each Cu atom is a tetrahedron configuration. The distances between Cu atoms are 3.018-3.437, which indicates that there are no metal-metal bonds between Cu atoms. It is worthwhile to study further the phenomenon how Cu(+2) captures the     

Crystal Engineering of Co(Ⅱ) Metal-organic Frameworks Based on the Hydrolysis Product of Letrozole and Coligands

The cyanide groups of letrozole(1-[bis(4-cyanophenyl)methyl]-1,2,4-triazole) were hydrolyzed into the carboxylic groups under alkaline conditions.

A STUDY ON CONFIGURATION-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP OF DIAMMINEDICHLOROPLATINUM (Ⅱ) BY THE PSEUDOPOTENTIAL VALENCE ELECTRON-ONLY ab initio CALCULATION METHOD

We investigated the cis- and trans-isomers of Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2 and [Pt(NH_3)_2]~(2+) using a quantum chemical non-empirical calculation method, the pseudopotcntial valence electron only ah initio method. The electronic structure and electrostatic potential counter maps were in turn determined through the wave functions so obtained. There was a sharp difference between the dipole moments of the cis- and trans-isomers. The electrostatic counter maps of the isomers also had remarkably different features. Based on the interaction between the platinum (Ⅱ) coordination compound and the base pairs of nucleic acid, the difference in antitumour activity of the isomeric compounds was discussed, It is pointed out that the key factor for antitumour activity is that the platinum (Ⅱ) coordination compound must be mutually complementary with the target acceptor in both configuration and bonding activity. This mutualcomplementary requirement includes a bonding ability of the platinum complex with two negative centers i     

The synthesis and crystal structure of metal complexes S-alkyl-N-(ferrocenyl-1-methyl-methylidene)-dithiocarbazate and the study on their quenching the luminescence ofruthenium(bipyridine)_~3(2+)

The cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and cadmium complexes of S-methyl-N-(ferrocenyl-l-methyl-methylidene)-dithiocarbazate (H-LSM) and S-benzyl-N-(ferrocenyl-l-methyl-methylidene)-dithiocarbazate (H-LSB) were synthesized and the crystal structure of Cd[Fe-C(CH3) = NNCSS. (CH3)]2 was solved by X-ray diffraction. The crystal is in the orthorhombic system with space group Pbca, cell parameters a=19.741(3), b=19.924(5), c=15.452(4) A, and the final factors of R=0.032. The study on quenching the luminescence of Ru(bpy)3 by those complexes showed that bimolecular quenching constants obtained from the Stern-Vohner constant and the excited-state lifetime were related to the redox potential of the quencher. Linear relationship is shown in the plot of logkq vs. E1/2(Q+/Q). The main factor which influences the quenching rate constant and the redox potential is the coordinating ability of the metal in the complex.
