Dirhenium(III,III) trithiocarbamato complexes: experimental and theoretical investigation

The green colored trithiocarbamato complexes of dirhenium(III,III) of type [Re₂(μ-η²-SL_R)₂(η²-L_R)₃][ReO₄] (4(L_R)), where L_R represents the dithiocarbamato ligands [L_R?=?S₂CNEt₂, 4(L_Et) and S₂CN(CH₂)₄, 4(L_Pyr)], have been synthesized in moderate yield by reacting Re₂(μ-O₂CCH₃)₄Cl₂ (1) and sodium salt of diethyldithiocarbamate or pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate in boiling ethanol under nitrogen atmosphere. The spectral (IR, UV–vis, NMR) and electrochemical properties of the complexes are reported. The identity of complex 4(L_Et) has been established by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations rationalized the electronic structure of complexes 4(L_R) in comparison with dithiocarbamato complexes of dirhenium(II,II) and dirhenium(III,II). The absorption spectra of the 4(L_R) complexes are scrutinized by the time-dependent DFT analysis.

     

Mössbauer study of the thermal decomposition of iron(III) benzoate and iron(III) fumarate

The thermal decomposition of iron(III) benzoate, Fe(C₇H₅O₂)₃, and iron(III) fumarate pentahydrate, Fe₂(C₄H₂O₄)₃ 5 H₂O, containing uni- and bidentate ligands, respectively, has been investigated at various temperatures for different intervals of time in a static air atmosphere. Thermolysis of these compounds leads directly to the formation of α-Fe₂O₃ in the case of iron(III) benzoate and Fe₃O₄ in the case of iron(III) fumarate as the ultimate products, thus without undergoing reduction to the iron(II) state.     

Thermal decomposition of tris(piperidyldithiocarbamates) of As(III), Sb(III) and Bi(III)

Thermal studies by TG, DTG and DTA of tris(piperidyldithiocarbamates) of arsenic(III), antimony(III) and bismuth(III) of the general type M[S₂CN(CH₂)₅]₃ (M=As, Sb and Bi) have been carried out in nitrogen and air, as well as under vacuum, to determine their modes of decomposition. The apparent activation energies were determined by graphical methods and the TIN temperatures were calculated from the TG profiles. A possible mechanism of the decomposition reaction is suggested on the basis of the results of their pyrolysis and their mass spectral data. The intermediates obtained at the end of various decomposition steps were identified via their elemental analysis, i.r. spectral data and X-ray diffraction studies. A dimeric structure of type M₂[S₂CN(CH₂)₅]₄ (M=As, Sb) is proposed.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel oxime-imine ligands and their heteronuclear ruthenium(III) complexes

Vicinal carbonyl oxime (HL¹) and oxime-imine (H₂L²) ligands and their mononuclear Ru(III) and Cu(II), heterodinuclear Ru(III)-Mn(II), Ru(III)-Ni(II), Ru(III)-Cu(II), and heterotrinuclear Ru(III)-Cu(II)-Ru(III) chelates were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, ESR, ICP-OES, magnetic moment measurements, and thermal analyses studies. The free ligands were also characterized by ¹H NMR spectra. The carbonyl-oxime ligand coordinates through the oxygen of =N-OH to form a six-membered chelate ring. The quadridentate tetraaza ligand (H₂L²) obtained by condensing of the bidentate ligand 1-p-diphenylmethane-2-hydroxyimino-2-(1-naphthylamino)-1-ethanone (HL¹) with 1,2-phenylenediamine coordinates with Ru(III) through its nitrogen donors in the equatorial position with the loss of one of the oxime protons and concomitant formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. Stoichiometric and spectral results of the metal complexes indicated that the metal: ligand ratios in the mononuclear complexes of the ligand (HL¹) were found to be 1: 2, while these ratios were 1: 1 in the mononuclear complexes of the ligand (H₂L²). The metal: ligand ratios of the dinuclear complexes were found to be 2: 1, and this ratio was 3: 2 in the trinuclear complex. The article is published in the original.     

Extraction of Sm(III), Gd(III) and Ho(III) ions with picrolonic acid in methylisobutylketone

Summary Picrolonic acid (HPA) in methylisobutylketone (MIBK) (0.01 mol^. dm^-3) has been used for the extraction of lanthanide(III) ions such as Sm(III), Gd(III) and Ho(III) (Me) (~3^. 10^-6mol^. dm^-3) from pH 1-2 buffer solutions of 0.1 mol^. dm^-3(H⁺, Cl^-) ionic strength and quantitative extraction (>95%) was found at pH 2. Through slope analysis the composition of the organometallic adduct responsible for the extraction came out to be M(PA)₃. The conditional equilibrium constant values, log K_ex, were deduced to be 2.60±0.01, 2.09±0.01 and 1.44±0.03 for these lanthanide(III) ions, respectively. The metals in concentration up to ~2.5^. 10^-4mol^. dm^-3can be quantitatively extracted by the proposed system. Among the various anions, fluoride, oxalate and cyanide ions (~3.0^. 10^-4mol^. dm^-3) and, among the cations, Zn(II) Cu(II), Co(II) and Fe(III) reduced the lanthanide extraction. The extraction of various other metal ions at the optimized conditions of Me extraction for this series of lanthanide ions was also studied and high separation factors (10²-10³) were obtained showing the good selectivity of this extraction system.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(III)-Cu(II) with non-cyclic polyether Schiff base

Nine novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(III)-Cu(II) with salicylidene tetraethylene glycol diamine (SALTTA) have been synthesized and characterized. They have the general formulae [L_nC_u2(SALTTA)₂(NO₃)₃](NO₃)₄·3H₂O (Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Sm) and [LnCu₃(SALTTA)₃(NO₃)₅]-(NO₃)₄·4H₂O (Ln=Gd, Tb, Er, Yb, Y). The IR spectra show that v_C=N in the Ln(III)-Cu(II) heteronuclear complexes are splitted up into two peaks with a far distance. It has been confirmed that oxygen atoms in oxyethylene of the ligand are not all coordinated to the central metal ions by both IR and NMR methods.     

Synthese,spektroskopische Charakterisierung und bakterizide Wirksamkeit neuer Organylbis(thiophenolato)bismut(III)-Komplexe

New Organobis(thiophenolate)bismuth(III) derivatives C₆H₅Bi(SC₆H₄Cl-p)₂ (I), Ch₃Bi(SC₆H₄NH₂-p)₂ (II) and CH₃AS(SC₆H₄NH₂-p)₂ (III) can be prepared by the reaction of phenyldibromobismuth(III), methyldibromobismuth(III) and -arsenic(III), respectively, with stoichiometric amounts of lithium-p-chlorothiophenolate (for I), and lithium-p-aminothiophenolate. II reacts with an excess of iodomethane to form the bis(mercaptoanilinium) complex [CH₃Bi(SC₆H₄NH₂CH₃-p₂]²⁺ (I⁻)₂ (IV). Treating IV with adequate amounts of AgNO₃ or TINO₃ yields the analogous nitrate derivative [CH₃Bi(SC₆H₄NH₂CH₃-p)₂]²⁺ (NO₃⁻)₂ (V). The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy and some of the compounds were also characterized by vapour pressure molecular weight osmometry too.The microbiological effect of the organometallic arsenic(III)- and bismuth(III)-bis(thiolates) I-IV was studied, the bismuth compounds generally inhibited bacterial growth more than the arsenic derivative. The aminothiophenolate complexes II and IV in particular were not inferior to the well-known organothiolatomercury(II) complexes with regard to their inhibition of bacterial growth. The hydrophilic mercaptoanilinium derivative IV has potential as a novel bactericide.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of arsenic(III), antimony(III), bismuth(III), tin(II) and lead(II) dithiocarbamate adducts

The complexes of arsenic(III), antimony(III), bismuth(III), tin(II) and lead(II) with monomethylsubstituted piperidinodithiocarbamates of general formula M(Rdtc)₃ and M(Rdtc)₂ have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The results of the spectroscopic studies indicate that the dithiocarbamate ligands are always bidentate, in both the 1:3 and the 1:2 complexes. All the complexes are nonconducting in DMF solution. The thermal behaviour of the complexes has been investigated by TG and DTG techniques. The molecular weight determinations indicate that the trisdithiocarbamates of arsenic and antimony are monomeric, while the bismuth trisderivatives tend to dimerize: polymeric structures can be suggested for the tin(II) and lead(II) compounds.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the complex formation between oxalatopentaamminecobalt(III) and aluminium(III) and gallium(III); a comparative study

Summary The reversible complex formation between oxalatopentaammine cobalt(III), aluminium(III) and gallium(III) was investigated by the stopped flow technique at 30 ± 0.1 °C and I = 1.0 mol dm^–3. The reactivity sequence: Ga^III > Al^III is observed, however, the major path for gallium(III) was (NH3)₅CoC₂O₄H²⁺ + GaOH²⁺ (NH₃)₅CoC₂O₄-Ga⁴⁺ + H₂O. The formation and dissociation rate constants of the binuclear species have been compared with the analogous data for iron(III) and nickel(II) reported earlier. The results reflect the fact that the half-bonded exalato moiety of (NH₃)₅CoC₂O _inf4 ^p+ acts as a chelating agent for the metal ions.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.

A new macrocyclic ligand, 1,3,5-triaza-2,4:7,8:16,17-tribenzo-9,12,15-trioxacyclooktadeca-1,5-dien (L) was synthesized by reaction of 2,6-diaminopyridine and 1,7-bis(2-formylphenyl)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane. Then, its Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Co(III) and La(III) complexes were synthesized by template effect by reaction of 2,6-diaminopyridine and 1,7-bis(2-formylphenyl)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane and Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3H₂O, Ni(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O, Pb(NO₃)₂, Co(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O, La(NO₃)₃ · 6H₂O, respectively. The ligand and its metal complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, UV–Vis spectra, magnetic susceptibility, thermal gravimetric analysis, conductivity measurements, mass spectra and cyclic voltammetry. All complexes are diamagnetic and Cu(II) complex is binuclear. The Co(II) was oxidized to Co(III). The comparative electrochemical studies show that the nickel complex exhibited a quasi-reversible one-electron reduction process while copper and cobalt complexes gave irreversible reduction processes in DMSO solution.

Synthesis and Investigation of Geometrical Isomerism of Trinitro(aminoacidato)amminecobaltate(III) Complex Salts

Synthesis of a new class of coordination compounds of cobalt(III) with amino acids (glycine, alanine, α-amino-butyric acid and norvaline), i.e., trinitro(aminoacidato)-amminecobaltate(III) salts, M[CoNH₃Am(NO₂)₃], is described. The synthesis consists in the action of amino acid alkali salts on the Erdmann salt or peripheral isomer of trinitrotriamminecobalt(III). The same compounds were also obtained by direct synthesis, i.e., by hydrogen peroxide oxidation of cobalt(II) to cobalt(III) in the presence of the corresponding ligands. The peripheral configuration of the complexes obtained was determined by chemical and physical methods (electronic and PMR spectroscopy). The compounds are intermediates formed in obtaining of dinitrobis(aminoacidato)cobaltate(III) salts by the reaction of amino acids with the Erdmann salt or peripheral isomer of trinitrotriamminecobalt(III).     

Polarographic analytical determination of Hg(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), As(III), Sb(III), Ti(IV) and U(VI) in the presence of Fe(III)

The analytical determination of Hg(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), As(III), Sb(III), Ti(IV) and U(VI) in the presence of Fe(III) and 1 M H₂SO₄ are investigated using the polarographic technique. The wave corresponding to the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) was found to be completely suppressed by the addition of 1% pyrogallol. Thus, different mixtures of these elements, viz. Hg(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), As(III) and Fe(III)-mixture (A), Cu(II), Cd(II), Sb(III), As(III) and Fe(III)-mixture (B), and Cu(II), Cd(II), Ti(IV), U(VI) and Fe(III)-mixture (C), were quantitatively determined using 1% pyrogallol and 1 M H₂SO₄ as supporting electrolyte. The i₁/c results give excellent correlations in each case, as indicated from the results of leastsquares regression analysis.     

Copper(II), iron(III), and chromium(III) complexes with 5,10-dioxo-4,5,9,10-tetrahydro-4,9-diazapyrene derivatives

Six copper(II), iron(III), and chromium(III) complexes with 5,10-dioxo-4,5,9,10-tetrahydro-4,9-diazapyrene derivatives (H₂L¹-H₂L³) have been synthesized and studied by physical methods (IR and electronic absorption spectroscopy, quantum-chemical calculations).

Triazine based Mn (II) and Mn (II)/Ln (III) complexes: Synthesis,characterization and catecholase activities

In the current work, two triazine‐based multidentate ligands (H₂L¹ and H₂L²) and their homo‐dinuclear Mn (II), mononuclear Ln (III) and hetero‐dinuclear Mn (II)/Ln (III) (Where Ln: Eu or La) complexes were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods. Single crystals of a homo‐dinuclear Mn (II) complex {[Mn (HL¹)(CH₃OH)](ClO₄·CH₃OH}₂ ( 1 ) were obtained and the molecular structure was determined by X‐ray diffraction method. In the structure of the complex, each Mn (II) ion is seven‐coordinate and one of the phenolic oxygen bridges two Mn (II) centre forming a dimeric structure. The UV–Vis. and photoluminescence properties of synthesized ligands and their metal complexes were investigated in DMF solution and the compounds showed emission bands in the UV–Vis. region. The catecholase enzyme‐like activity of the complexes were studied for 3,5‐DTBC → 3,5‐DTBQ conversion in the presence of air oxygen. Homo‐dinuclear Mn (II) complexes ( 1 and 4 ) were found to efficiently catalyse 3,5‐DTBC → 3,5‐DTBQ conversion with the turnover numbers of 37.25 and 35.78 h^?1 (k_cat), respectively. Mononuclear Eu (III) and La (III) complexes did not show catecholase activity.     

Reactivity of Binary Mixtures of La(III) Oxide and Cu(II) Oxalate or Nitrate and Synthesis of La(III) Cuprate

Reactivity of mixtures of La(III) oxide and Cu(II) oxalate/nitrate in hydrated as well as anhydrous state was studied using TG, DTA and XRD. Cu(II) oxide formed in the endothermic decomposition of mixture containing hydrated Cu(II) nitrate and La(III) oxide could not form La₂CuO₄ while Cu(II) oxide formed in the exothermic decomposition of mixture containing hydrated/anhydrous Cu(II) oxalate and La(III) oxide reacts with La(III) oxide and develops the phases CuLaO₃ and La₂CuO₄. The maximum reactivity with respect to the formation of La₂CuO₄phase was observed in mixture containing anhydrous Cu(II) oxalate. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and relaxivity of Gd(III), Fe(III) and Mn(II) complexes with dihydropyridine derivative of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid

A novel ligand of DTPA-dihydropyridine derivative was synthesized by reaction of DTPA-dianhydride with 4-aniline-1,4-dihydropyridine. Its complexes of gadolinium, manganese and iron were prepared. Their spin-lattice relaxivities (T₁) were investigated. The results show that the NMR T₁ relaxivitives (R₁) for complexes of Fe(III), Mn(II) are less than that of Gd(III) complex, which has a high relaxivity (R₁) on the surrounding water protons, indicating that the Gd(III) complex possesses the precondition to be contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging.     

Zur Kenntnis der Sulfito-kobalt(III)-Ammine. I. Sulfitopentammin- und Sulfitoaquotetramminkobalt(III)-Salze

Sulphito Cobalt (III) Ammines. I. Sulphitopentaamminecobalt (III) and Sulphitoaquotetraamminecobalt(III) Salts Because of the trans effect of the sulphito group salts containing the cation [CoSO₃(NH₃)₅]⁺ react with H₂O forming [CoSO₃H₂O(NH₃)₄]⁺. In acid medium the conversion is complete. Therefore, sulphitopentaamminecobalt(III) salts have to be prepared and purified in solutions containing free ammonia. Earlier preparation methods not regarding this circumstance lead to tetraammine compounds or to mixture of pentaammine and tetraammine complexes. The preparation and the properties of a number of sulphitopentaammine and sulphito-aquotetraamminecobalt(III) salts are described (see “Inhaltsübersicht”). The light absorption and the IR spectra of the complexes [CoSO₃(NH₃)₅]⁺ and [CoSO₃H₂O(NH₃)₄]⁺ are reported and discussed.
