A structural and Mössbauer study of complexes with Fe(2)(micro-O(H))(2) cores: stepwise oxidation from Fe(II)(micro-OH)(2)Fe(II) through Fe(II)(micro-OH)(2)Fe(III) to Fe(III)(micro-O)(micro-OH)Fe(III)

Dinuclear non-heme iron clusters containing oxo, hydroxo, or carboxylato bridges are found in a number of enzymes involved in O(2) metabolism such as methane monooxygenase, ribonucleotide reductase, and fatty acid desaturases. Efforts to model structural and/or functional features of the protein-bound clusters have prompted the preparation and study of complexes that contain Fe(micro-O(H))(2)Fe cores. Here we report the structures and spectroscopic properties of a family of diiron complexes with the same tetradentate N4 ligand in one ligand topology, namely [(alpha-BPMCN)(2)Fe(II)(2)(micro-OH)(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(2) (1), [(alpha-BPMCN)(2)Fe(II)Fe(III)(micro-OH)(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(3) (2), and [(alpha-BPMCN)(2)Fe(III)(2)(micro-O)(micro-OH)](CF(3)SO(3))(3) (3) (BPMCN = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane). Stepwise one-electron oxidations of 1 to 2 and then to 3 demonstrate the versatility of the Fe(micro-O(H))(2)Fe diamond core to support a number of oxidation states with little structural rearrangement. Insight into the electronic structure of 1, 2', and 3 has been obtained from a detailed M?ssbauer investigation (2' differs from 2 in having a different complement of counterions). Mixed-valence complex 2' is ferromagnetically coupled, with J = -15 +/- 5 cm(-)(1) (H = JS(1).S(2)). For the S = (9)/(2) ground multiplet we have determined the zero-field splitting parameter, D(9/2) = -1.5 +/- 0.1 cm(-)(1), and the hyperfine parameters of the ferric and ferrous sites. For T < 12 K, the S = (9)/(2) multiplet has uncommon relaxation behavior. Thus, M(S) = -(9)/(2) <--> M(S) = +(9)/(2) ground state transition is slow while deltaM(S) = +/-1 transitions between equally signed M(S) levels are fast on the time scale of M?ssbauer spectroscopy. Below 100 K, complex 2' is trapped in the Fe(1)(III)Fe(2)(II) ground state; above this temperature, it exhibits thermally assisted electron hopping into the state Fe(1)(II)Fe(2)(III). The temperature dependence of the isomer shifts was corrected for second-order Doppler shift, obtained from the study of diferrous 1. The resultant true shifts were analyzed in a two-state hopping model. The diferric complex 3 is antiferromagnetically coupled with J = 90 +/- 15 cm(-)(1), estimated from a variable-temperature M?ssbauer analysis.     

Two heptacopper(II) disk complexes with a [Cu(7)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(μ-OR)(2)](8+) core

The reaction of CuX(2) (X(-) ≠ F(-)) salts with 1 equiv of 3-pyridyl-5-tert-butylpyrazole (HL) in basic methanol yields blue solids, from which disk complexes of the type [Cu(7)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(μ-OR)(2)(μ-L)(6)](2+) and/or the cubane [Cu(4)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(HL)(4)](4+) can be isolated by recrystallization under the appropriate conditions. Two of the disk complexes have been prepared in crystalline form: [Cu(7)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(μ-OCH(2)CF(3))(2)(μ-L)(6)][BF(4)](2) (2) and [Cu(7)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(μ-OCH(3))(2)(μ-L)(6)]Cl(2)·xCH(2)Cl(2) (3·xCH(2)Cl(2)). The molecular structures of both compounds as solvated crystals can be described as [Cu?Cu(6)(μ-OH)(4)(μ-OR)(2)(μ-L)(6)](2+) (R = CH(2)CF(3) or CH(3)) adducts. The [Cu(6)(μ-OH)(4)(μ-OR)(2)(μ-L)(6)] ring is constructed of six square-pyramidal Cu ions, linked by 1,2-pyrazolido bridges from the L(-) ligands and by basal, apical-bridging hydroxy or alkoxy groups, while the central Cu ion is bound to the four metallamacrocyclic hydroxy donors in a near-regular square-planar geometry. The L(-) ligands project above and below the metal ion core, forming two bowl-shaped cavities that are fully (R = CH(2)CF(3)) or partially (R = CH(3)) occupied by the alkoxy R substituents. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements on 2 demonstrated antiferromagnetic interactions between the Cu ions, yielding a spin-frustrated S = (1)/(2) magnetic ground state that is fully populated below around 15 K. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, UV/vis/near-IR, and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements imply that the heptacopper(II) disk motif is robust in organic solvents.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Ni(II)(L)(py)_3]·(py)

1 INTRODUCTION Schiff bases and their metal complexes are useful reagents in organic synthesis[1], and they have exhi- bited some biological activities as anticancer and antitumor drugs[2]. The crystal structures and physi- cal and chemical properties of many Schiff bases and their transition metals complexes have been re- ported[3~5]. Further interest in the coordination che- mistry of nickel(II) arises from the role of these complexes in several catalytic reactions, such as electrocat…     

Mercuration with Mercury(II) Trifluoroacetate of (η6-Aniline)- or (N,N-dimethylaniline)(η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II)

The reaction of mercury(II) trifluoroacetate with the hexafluorophosphate of the ⁶-aniline-⁵cyclopentadienyliron(II) cation under reflux in dry ethanol gives rise to N-mono- and N,N-disubstituted mercury-containing salts of this cation. The same mercury-containing salts have been synthesized by the action of mercury(II) trifluoroacetate on the deprotonation product of the (⁶-aniline)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) cation. Direct mercuration of the [⁶-(N,N-dimethylaniline)](⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) cation into the para position of the benzene ring of the arene ligand has been performed. The reactivity of the compounds obtained has been studied.     

Non-Prussian blue structures and magnetic ordering of Na2Mn(II)[Mn(II)(CN)6] and Na2Mn(II)[Mn(II)(CN)6]·2H2O

The aqueous reaction of Mn(II) and NaCN leads to the isolation of the 3-D Prussian blue analogue (PBA) Na(2)Mn[Mn(CN)(6)]·2H(2)O (1·H(2)O), which under careful dehydration forms 1. 1·H(2)O is monoclinic [P2(1)/n, a = 10.66744(32) ?, b = 7.60223(23) ?, c = 7.40713(22) ?, β = 92.4379(28)°], while 1 is rhombohedral [R ?3, a = 6.6166(2) ?, c = 19.2585(6) ?], and both structures are atypical for PBAs, which are typically face centered cubic. Most notably, the average ∠Mn-N-C angles are 165.3(3)° and 142.4(4)° for 1·H(2)O and 1, respectively, which are significantly reduced from linearity. This is attributed to the ionic nature of high-spin Mn(II) accommodating a reduced ∠Mn-N-C to minimize void space. Both 1 and 1·H(2)O magnetically order as ferrimagnets below their ordering temperature, T(c), of 58 and 30 K, respectively, as determined from the average of several independent methods. 1 and 1·H(2)O are hard magnets with 5 K coercive fields of 15,300 and 850 Oe, and remnant magnetizations of 9075 and 102 emu·Oe/mol, respectively. These data along with previous T(c)'s reported for related materials reveal that T(c) increases as the ∠Mn-N-C deviates further from linearity. Hence, the bent cyanide bridges play a crucial role in the superexchange mechanism by increasing the coupling via shorter Mn(II)···Mn(II) separations, and perhaps an enhanced overlap.     

Reaction of Mercury(II) Trifluoroacetate with Deprotonated (η6-Toluene)-, (η6-Diphenylmethane)-, and (η6-Triphenylmethane)(η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) Complexes. Mercuration of Some Cationic (Arene)(cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) Complexes

Treatment with mercury(II) trifluoroacetate of deprotonated (⁶-toluene)- and (⁶-diphenyl- methane)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) complexes gave mono-, di-, and trisubstituted [from (⁶-toluene)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) cation] mercury-containing salts. The reaction of mercury(II) trifluoroacetate with deprotonated (⁶-triphenylmethane)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) afforded only the corresponding sym- metric mercury derivative. The same product was obtained by direct mercuration with mercury(II) trifluoroacetate of (⁶-triphenylmethane)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) on heating the reactants in boiling unhydrous ethanol. Reactions of the resulting mercury-containing compounds with acids, symmetrizing bases, and acylating agents were studied.     

Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of molecule-based magnets: NBu4[Fe(II) x Mn(II)1-x Cr(III)(ox)3] and NBu4[Fe(II) x Ni(II)1-x Fe(III)(ox)3]

The internal magnetic field (H _n ) at⁵⁷Fe nucleus was investigated for the mixed crystals, NBu₄[Fe(II) _x Mn(II)_1-x Cr(III) (ox)₃] (x=0.03?1) and NBu₄[Fe(II) _x Ni(II)_1-x Fe(III)(ox)₃]) (x=0?1) using Mössbauer spectroscopy, where NBu₄/⁺=tetra(n-butyl)ammonium ion and ox^2?=oxalate ion. With the decrease ofx, the direction ofH _n at Fe(II) in NBu₄[Fe(II) _x Mn(II)_1-x Cr(III)(ox)₃] changed gradually from parallel to perpendicular, to the honeycomb layers consisting of an alternate array of the bivalent and tervalent ions through ox^2? ligands. A variation of ca. 50° in direction was observed for theH _n at Fe(III) in NBu₄[Fe(II) _x Ni(II)_1-x Fe(III)(ox)₃].     

Tunability of the M(II)M(III)/M(II)(2) and M(III)(2)/M(II)M(III) (M=Mn, Co) couples in bis-μ-O,O'-carboxylato-μ-OR bridged complexes

A comparison of the electrochemical properties of a series of dinuclear complexes [M(2)(L)(RCO(2))(2)](+) with M = Mn or Co, L = 2,6-bis(N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-sulfonamido)-4-methylphenolato (bpsmp(-)) or 2,6-bis(N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl)-4-tert-butylphenolato (bpbp(-)) and R = H, CH(3), CF(3) or 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate demonstrates: (i) The electron-withdrawing sulfonyl groups in the backbone of bpsmp(-) stabilize the [M(2)(bpsmp)(RCO(2))(2)](+) complexes in their M(II)(2) oxidation state compared to their [M(2)(bpbp)(RCO(2))(2)](+) analogues. Manganese complexes are stabilised by approximately 550 mV and cobalt complexes by 650 mV. (ii) The auxiliary bridging carboxylato ligands further attenuate the metal-based redox chemistry. Substitution of two acetato for two trifluoroacetato ligands shifts redox couples by 300-400 mV. Within the working potential window, reversible or quasi-reversible M(II)M(III)? M(II)(2) processes range from 0.31 to 1.41 V for the [Co(2)(L)(RCO(2))(2)](+/2+) complexes and from 0.54 to 1.41 V for the [Mn(2)(L)(RCO(2))(2)](+/2+) complexes versus Ag/AgCl for E(M(II)M(III)/M(II)(2)). The extreme limits are defined by the complexes [M(2)(bpbp)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)](+) and [M(2)(bpsmp)(CF(3)CO(2))(2)](+) for both metal ions. Thus, tuning the ligand field in these dinuclear complexes makes possible a range of around 0.9 V and 1.49 V for the one-electron E(M(II)M(III)/M(II)(2)) couple of the Mn and Co complexes, respectively. The second one-electron process, M(II)M(III)? M(III)(2) was also observed in some cases. The lowest potential recorded for the E°(M(III)(2)/M(II)M(III)) couple was 0.63 V for [Co(2)(bpbp)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)](2+) and the highest measurable potential was 2.23 V versus Ag/AgCl for [Co(2)(bpsmp)(CF(3)CO(2))(2)](2+).

Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Potassium Hydro(benzoyl)(phthalyl)borate and Its Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), and Copper(II) Complexes

A new organoborate ligand, hydro(benzoyl)(phthalyl)borate has been synthesized as its potassium salt (KL) and treatment of KL with one equivalent of MCl2•6H2O gave complexes ML(H2O)x•Cl [x＝2, M＝Co(II), Ni(II); x＝1, M＝Cu(II)]. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H NMR, ESI MS, UV-Vis techniques, conductivity and magnetic data measurements. Spectroscopic results suggest a square planar geometry in the Cu(II) complex, while the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes possess an octahedral geometry. Antibacterial activities (in vitro) of the ligand and its metal complexes were studied against two Gram positive (B. subtillis and B. magterium) and two Gram negative bacteria (E. Coli and S. boydi) at a single concentration (75 μg/mL) by using the Disc diffusion method. Antifungal activities (in vitro) were also checked for the compounds by using the same method against Candida albicans 10261, Penicillium sp. and Asperjillius niger., at a single concentration (50 μg/mL). The results showed that all the metal complexes, specially the nickel(II) complex, have higher antibacterial and antifungal activities than the corresponding potassium salt.     

β-diketone complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and palladium(II)

Summary The reactions of manganese(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) acetates (1 mole) with antipyrine-4-azo--ethylcyanoacetate (HL¹) and antipyrine-4-azo--acetylacetone (HL²) (1 mole) produce complexes of the M(L)₂ type. K₂PdCl₄ (1 mole) reacts with HL¹ and HL² (1 mole) to yield complexes of the general formula PdLCl, the ligands behaving as monobasic tridentates. The electronic spectral and magnetic data show the complexes to be high-spin octahedral, whereas the palladium(II) complexes are diamagnetic square planar. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductance measurements and i.r. and electronic spectra as well as magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermal (t.g.a. and d.t.a.) analysis.Nuclear Material Authority.

The crystal structures of the four title clathrate compounds Cd(NH₃)₂Cd(CN)₄ · 2C₆H₆,I, Cd(NH₃)₂Cd(CN)₄ · 2C₆H₅NH₂,II, Cd(NH₂CH₂CH₂NH₂)Cd(CN)₄ · 2 C₆H₅NH₂,III, and Cd(C₆H₅NH₂)₂Cd(CN)₄ · 0.5C₆H₅NH₂,IV, have been analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. CompoundI crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupC2/c,a = 12.063(2),b = 12.174(2),c = 14.621(1) Å,β = 90.976(9)°,Z = 4,R = 0.042 for 2388 reflections;II: monoclinic C₂/c,a = 12.1951(9),b = 12.078(1),c = 14.6921(7) Å,β = 93.436(5)°,Z = 4,R = 0.039 for 2374 reflections;III: monoclinicCc,a = 11.027(1),b = 12.0767(9),c = 15.837(1) Å,β = 92.059(9)°,Z = 4,R = 0.041 for 2883 reflections; andIV: monoclinicP2₁/n,a = 15.169(2),b = 16.019(2),c = 8.866(1) Å,β = 95.73(1)°,Z = 4,R = 0.052 for 3612 reflections. The three-dimensionalcatena-[diamminecadmium(II) tetra-μ-cyanocadmate(II)] hosts ofI andII are substantially isostructural to that of the already known Hofmann-Td-type Cd(NH₃)₂Hg(CN)₄ · 2C₆H₆. The three-dimensional en-Td-typecatena-[catena-μ-ethylenediaminecadmium(II) tetra-μ-cyanocadmate(II)] host ofIII, reinforced by the catena-μ-en linking between the octahedral Cd atoms, accommodates the aniline as the guest with a monoclinic distortion from the tetragonal symmetry of the previously reported en-Td-type benzene clathrate. InIV dual behavior of aniline, one as the unidentate ligand in the three-dimensional host and the other as the guest in the cage-like cavity, has been demonstrated.

The structure and magnetic properties are compared with related thiocyanate-bridged compounds.     

Copper(II)–8-mercaptoquinoline,copper(II)–5,8-dimercaptoquinoline and copper(II)–5-thiomethyl-8-mercaptoquinoline complexing in a copper(II)hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrix

Novel complexing processes in the Cu^II–8-mercaptoquinoline, Cu^II–5,8-dimercaptoquinoline and Cu^II–5-thiomethyl-8-mercaptoquinoline systems proceeding in the copper(II)hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrix in contact with aqueous solutions of the ligands indicated, have been studied. Under the conditions specified for complexing in the Cu^II–8-mercaptoquinoline system, only a monomeric water-insoluble coordination compound was formed. In the Cu^II–5,8-dimercaptoquinoline system, three coordination compounds were formed and, in the Cu^II–5-thiomethyl-8-mercaptoquinoline system, two such compounds were formed. Conversely, complexing in solution or solid phase results in the formation only coordination compounds in each of the system studied.     

Complexes of N-aroyl-N′-thiobenzohydrazide with cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II)

Palladium(II) and platinum(II)-C(3)-substituted 2,2′-bipyridines

Reaction of Pd(OAc)₂ with HL¹ and HL² (HL¹=6-iso-propyl-2,2-bipyridine; HL²=6-neo-pentyl-2,2-bipyridine), followed by treatment with LiCl or KI, gives [PdCl(L¹)]₂, (1), [PdCl(L²)]₂ (2), and [PdI(L²)]₂ (3), respectively. The chloride bridge in complexes1 and2 is split by PPh³ to give the mononuclear species PdCl(L¹)(PPh₃) (4) and PdCl(L²)(PPh₃) (5). Spectroscopic data provide evidence for coordination of the deprotonated ligands through a nitrogen and the C₍₃₎ atom of the 6-substituted pyridine. An analogous platinum complex PtCl(L³)(SMe₂) (6) (HL³=6-tert-butyl-2,2-bipyridine) was obtained from trans-PtClMe(SMe₂)₂ and HL³.
