Copper(II) complex with 3-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfo-5-nitrophenylhydrazo)pentane-2,4-dione: Synthesis and structure

The copper(II) complex with 3-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfo-5-nitrophenylhydrazo)pentane-2,4-dione (H₃L) is studied, and its crystal structure is studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals of [Cu(H₂O)₂]₂(μ-L)₂[Cu(H₂O)₄] (I) are triclinic (space group P \(\bar 1\)) at 100 K, a = 7.085(3), b = 10.373(5), c = 12.265(6) Å, α = 0.842(5)°, β = 104.996(6)°, γ = 99.156(6)°, Z = 1). The C=O and NH groups of hydrazone and the OH and SO₃H groups from the aromatic moiety of the molecule are involved in coordination with the copper(II) atom. In the centrosymmetric trinuclear molecule the central Cu(2) atom has the coordination number six, and the terminal Cu(1) atoms have the coordination number five. The thermal properties of complex I are studied. The complex formation of copper(II) with the H₃L ligand in an aqueous solution at temperatures 298 ± 0.5, 308 ± 0.5, and 318 ± 0.5 K is studied by potentiometric titration. The standard thermodynamic functions of the complex formation are determined.

Zinc(II) and lead(II) coordination polymers built by 3-(4-carboxyphenylhydrazono)pentane-2,4-dione

Two coordination polymers [Zn(L)₂(4,4′-bipy)₂] _n (4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine) (1) and [Pb(η ²-L)(µ₃-η ²-CH₃COO)(H₂O)] _n (2) have been prepared by the reaction of 3-(4-carboxyphenylhydrazono)pentane-2,4-diketone (HL) with zinc(II) or lead(II) in solution. Polymer 1 shows an infinite zigzag chain, in which Zn(II) are linked by 4,4′-bipy bridges with carboxylate of L^? monodentate to Zn(II). In 2, Pb(II) are bridged by tetradentate µ₃-η ²-CH₃COO^? to form a linear 1-D chain, and each Pb(II) is chelated by carboxylate of L^?. Their molecular structures have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermal and fluorescent properties of the two complexes have been investigated.     

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of 3-(4-n-alkyloxyarylaminomethylene)chroman-2,4-diones

The synthesis, characterisation and mesomorphic properties of new liquid crystals are reported. The goal was to obtain amides starting from 7-decanoyloxychromone-3-carboxylic acid and 4-n-alkoxyanilines. However, instead of the expected amides, in each case a mixture of two isomeric E/Z enaminones was isolated, with a ratio 3/1. The mesophase behaviour of the five mixtures was characterised and studied using differential scanning calorimetry and polarising optical microscopy. The transitions are enantiotropic, the peaks being sharp and the mesomorphic range wide. All the compounds exhibit a smectic C phase and the derivatives with shorter chains also exhibit a nematic phase.     

Different coordination modes and supramolecular aggregations in copper(II) pentane-2,4-dionato compounds with 2-pyridone and 3-hydroxypyridine

Abstract  

Copper(II) bis(pentane-2,4-dionato-κ² O,O′) compounds with 2-pyridone (1) and 3-hydroxypyridine (2) were prepared by the reaction of bis(pentane-2,4-dionato-κ² O,O′)copper(II) with selected ligands. The coordination of Cu(II) in both compounds is square pyramidal with the fifth coordination site occupied by the carbonyl oxygen atom of the 2-pyridone ligand in 1 and by the nitrogen atom of 3-hydroxypyridine in 2. The X-ray crystallographic studies revealed different crystal aggregation influenced by the ability of the 2-pyridone ligand to act as a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor, and 3-hydroxypyridine acting only as a hydrogen bond donor. Intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonding forms dimers in 1 and infinite chains in 2. Three-dimensional aggregation is achieved by π–π interactions and C–H···π (arene) hydrogen bonding.     

Complexation of copper(II) with 3-(2-hydroxyphenylazo)pentadione-2,4

It is shown that 3-(2-hydroxyphenylazo)pentadione-2,4 (H₂L) can exist in three tautomeric forms (enol-azo, keto-azo, and hydrazo). The effective atomic charges in the tautomeric forms of H₂L are calculated by the Hückel MO LCAO method. The molar fractions and molar absorptivities of the tautomers at different pH are found. The complexation of copper(II) with H₂L is studied by spectrophotometry. Beer’s law is obeyed for 0.51–5.12 μg/mL of copper. The assumed complex structure is given. The effect of foreign ions and masking agents on the complexation is studied. A procedure for the photometric determination of copper(II) in zinc-based alloys is proposed. Original Russian Text ?

Diversity of supramolecular aggregation in copper(II) pentane-2,4-dionato compounds with methyl substituted 2-aminopyridines

Three copper(II) bis(pentane-2,4-dionato-κ ² O,O′) compounds with 2-amino-3-methylpyridine (2,3-ampy) (1), 2-amino-5-methylpyridine (2,5-ampy) (2), and 2-amino-4-methylpyridine (2,4-ampy) (3) were prepared by reaction of bis(pentane-2,4-dionato-κ ² O,O′)copper(II) with selected methyl substituted 2-aminopyridines. The coordination of Cu(II) in all three compounds is square pyramidal and intramolecular N–H?···?O hydrogen-bonding is present. X-ray crystallographic studies reveal different crystal aggregation influenced by a methyl substituent on pyridine. No intermolecular N–H?···?O hydrogen-bonding is present in 1. Intermolecular N–H?···?O hydrogen-bonding in 2 forms infinite chains and dimers are formed in 3. Extended 3-D aggregation was found in 2 via π–π and C–H?···?π (arene) interactions, while only chain formation was found in 1 and 3.     

Porous Cu-Cd mixed-metal-organic frameworks constructed from Cu(Pyac)2 [Bis[3-(4-pyridyl)pentane-2,4-dionato]copper(II)

Porous Cu-Cd mixed-metal-organic frameworks [[Cd(NO(3))(2)](2)[(Cu(Pyac)(2)](3)] (M'MOF 1) and [[CdCl(2)][Cu(Pyac)(2)](2)] (M'MOF2) [Cu(Pyac)(2) = bis[3-(4-pyridyl)pentane-2,4-dionato]copper(II)] have been synthesized by the reaction of Cu(Pyac)(2) with Cd(NO(3))(2) and CdCl(2). They are noninterpenetrating 1D ladder and 2D square-grid frameworks, constructed from Cu(Pyac)(2) building blocks with T-shaped Cd(NO(3))(2) nodes and square-planar CdCl(2) nodes, respectively. The 1D ladders and 2D square grids are stacked in ABCABC... and ABCDEF... packings, leading to 2D interconnected channels of ca. 5.7 x 10.2 and 4.1 x 9.8 A in 1 and 1D channels of ca. 8.0 x 8.2 A in 2, respectively. The copper sites in these two M'MOFs are coordinated by solvent molecules and exposed to the pores.     

Oxidation of butane-1,3-, butane-1,4-, 2-methyl pentane-2,4- and 3-methyl pentane-2,4-diols by cerium(IV) in aqueous acidic medium catalyzed by rhodium(III)

The oxidation kinetics of butane-1,3-diol, butane-1,4-diol, 2-methyl pentane-2,4-diol and 3-methyl pentane-2,4-diol with cerium(IV) catalyzed by rhodium(III) in aqueous sulfuric acid showed a peculiar nature with respect to the variation in oxidant concentration, such that the reaction follows first-order kinetics in [Ce(IV)] at low [Ce(IV)] and then reaches a maximum with increasing [Ce(IV)], beyond which further increase in the oxidant concentration retards the rate. The rate shows direct proportionality with respect to [diol] at low concentrations, becoming independent of [diol] at higher concentrations. The rate is first order in catalyst. Retarding effects are observed when [H⁺] and [Ce(III)] are increased, while [Cl⁻] and hence ionic strength have a positive effect on the rate. Spectroscopic studies confirmed that the primary hydroxyl groups in butane-1,3-diol and butane-1,4-diol resulted in the formation of 3-hydroxy butanal and 4-hydroxy butanal, respectively. In the case of oxidation of the secondary hydroxyl groups in 2-methyl pentane-2,4-diol and 3-methyl pentane-2,4-diol, the products of oxidation were 4-hydroxy-4-methyl pentan-2-one and 4-hydroxy-3-methyl pentan-2-one, respectively.     

Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with amidrazone-based ligands: Structure and catalytic activity

Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes MeL, where H₂LL = [9-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)-6-methyl-3-acetyl-5,7,8-triazanona-3,6,8-trien-2-one], have been synthesized by template reaction of salicylaldehyde acetamidrazone with corresponding Me(acac)₂ and Hacac in the presence of the orthoformic ester at 110°C. The crystal structure of CuL has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The square-planar mode of coordination is realized in CuL. Comparison of geometrical parameters of CuL with those of the corresponding derivative based on S--allylisothiosemicarbazide showed that substitution of the -SR group by methyl in the quadridentate ligand does not affect the mode of binding nor the main interatomic distances and angles in the ligand. The data from magnetic measurements, ¹HH NMR and EI mass spectra indicate that NiL has a similarly structured coordination polyhedron. Epoxidation of norbornene can be performed efficiently with molecular oxygen (1 atm) in THF (or THF-EtOAc) in the presence of CuL at 70°C. The corresponding copper(II) derivatives based on S--substituted isothiosemicarbazides are much less active as catalysts.     

Oxovanadium(IV) and copper(II) complexes of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane based ligand encapsulated in zeolite-Y for the catalytic oxidation of styrene, cyclohexene and cyclohexane

N,N′-Bis(salicylidene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (H₂sal-dach) reacts with oxovanadium(IV) and copper(II) exchanged zeolite-Y in refluxing methanol to yield the corresponding zeolite-Y encapsulated metal complexes, abbreviated herein as [VO(sal-dach)]-Y and [Cu(sal-dach)]-Y. Spectroscopic studies (IR, electronic and ¹H NMR), thermal analysis, scanning electron micrographs (SEM) and X-ray diffraction patterns have been used to characterise these complexes. These encapsulated complexes catalyse the oxidation, by H₂O₂, of styrene, cyclohexene and cyclohexane efficiently in good yield. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidation of styrene catalysed by [VO(sal-dach)]-Y and [Cu(sal-dach)]-Y gave 94.6 and 21.7% conversion, respectively, where styreneoxide, benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, 1-phenylethane-1,2-diol and phenylacetaldehyde being the major products. Oxidation of cyclohexene catalysed by these complexes gave cyclohexeneoxide, 2-cyclohexene-1-ol, cyclohexane-1,2-diol and 2-cyclohexene-1-one as major products. Conversion of cyclohexene achieved was 86.6% with [VO(sal-dach)]-Y and 18.1% with [Cu(sal-dach)]-Y. A maximum of 78.1% conversion of cyclohexane catalysed by [Cu(sal-dach)]-Y and only 21.0% conversion by [VO(sal-dach)]-Y with major reaction products of cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and cyclohexane-1,2-diol have been obtained.

Two new nickel(II) carboxylates with 3- and 4-aminopyridine: syntheses,structures, and magnetic properties

Abstract  

The synthesis and characterization of two new nickel(II) coordination compounds with 3- and 4-aminopyridine are reported. They were obtained after dissolving Ni(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O in different solutions of 3- and 4-aminopyridine. The products were characterized magnetically, structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and spectrally by FT-IR spectroscopy. Dark green crystals of the polymeric coordination complex {[Ni(O₂CCH₃)₂(3-apy)₂]·H₂O} _n were synthesized by the reaction of Ni(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O and 3-aminopyridine (3-apy). The molecular structure of this complex consists of a zigzag chain in which nickel(II) ions are connected by bridging 3-aminopyridine ligands. The Ni(II) ion is six-coordinated by three oxygen atoms from two acetate ligands, one chelating and one monodenate, and by three nitrogen atoms from three 3-aminopyridine ligands, one terminal and two bridging ones. The blue crystals obtained by the reaction of Ni(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O with 4-aminopyridine (4-apy) consist of the monomeric complex [Ni(O₂CCH₃)₂(4-apy)₂(H₂O)₂], in which the ligands possess trans geometry around the Ni(II) ion. The interactions including intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the crystal structures of both complexes are discussed. Magnetic properties of both compounds were studied between 2 and 300 K giving the result of μ _eff = 3.1 BM in the paramagnetic region.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Formation and Acid Dissociation of Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), and Copper(II) Complexes with the Highly Enolized beta-Diketone 3-(N-Acetylamido)pentane-2,4-dione (=Hamac) in Aqueous Solution

The beta-diketone Hamac = 3-(N-acetylamido)pentane-2,4-dione was characterized by potentiometric, spectrophotometric, and kinetic methods. In water, Hamac is very soluble (2.45 M) and strongly enolized, with [enol]/[ketone] = 2.4 +/- 0.1. The pK(a) of Hamac is 7.01 +/- 0.07, and the rate constants for enolization, k(e), and ketonization, k(k), at 298 K are 0.0172 +/- 0.0004 s(-1) and 0.0074 +/- 0.0015 s(-1), respectively. An X-ray structure analysis of the copper(II) complex Cu(amac)(2).toluene (=C(21)H(28)CuN(2)O(6); monoclinic, C2/c; a = 20.434(6), b = 11.674(4), c = 19.278(6) ?; beta = 100.75(1) degrees; Z = 8; R(w) = 0.0596) was carried out. The bidentate anions amac(-) coordinate the copper via the two diketo oxygen atoms to form a slightly distorted planar CuO(4) coordination core. Rapid-scan stopped-flow spectrophotometry was used to study the kinetics of the reaction of divalent metal ions M(2+) (M = Ni,Co,Cu) with Hamac in buffered aqueous solution at variable pH and I = 0.5 M (NaClO(4)) under pseudo-first-order conditions ([M(2+)](0) > [Hamac](0)) to form the mono complex M(amac)(+). For all three metals the reaction is biphasic. The absorbance/time data can be fitted to the sum of two exponentials, which leads to first-order rate constants k(f) (fast initial step) and k(s) (slower second step). The temperature dependence of k(f) and k(s) was measured. It follows from the kinetic data that (i) the keto tautomer of Hamac, HK, does not react with the metal ions M(2+), (ii) the rate constant k(f) increases linearly with [M(2+)](0) according to k(f) = k(0) + k(2)[M(2+)](0), and (iii) the rate constant k(s) does not depend on [M(2+)](0) and describes the enolization of the unreactive keto tautomer HK. The pH dependence of the second-order rate constant k(2) reveals that both the enol tautomer of Hamac, HE, and the enolate, E(-), react with M(2+) in a second-order reaction to form the species M(amac)(+). At 298 K rate constants k(HE) are 18 +/- 6 (Ni), 180 +/- 350 (Co), and (9 +/- 5) x 10(4) (Cu) M(-1) s(-1) and rate constants k(E) are 924 +/- 6 (Ni), (7.4 +/- 0.6) x 10(4) (Co), and (8.4 +/- 0.2) x 10(8) (Cu) M(-1) s(-1). The acid dissociation of the species M(amac)(+) is triphasic. Very rapid protonation (first step) leads to M(Hamac)(2+), which is followed by dissociation of M(Hamac)(2+) and M(amac)(+), respectively (second step). The liberated enol Hamac ketonizes (third step). The mechanistic implications of the metal dependence of rate constants k(HE), k(E), k(-HE), and k(-E) are discussed.     

Syntheses, structures and catalytic activity of copper(II) complexes with hydroxyindanimine ligands

A series of new hydroxyindanimine ligands [ArNCC₂H₃(CH₃)C₆H₂(R)OH] (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr₂C₆H₃, R = H (HL¹), R = Cl (HL²), and R = Me (HL³)) were synthesized and characterized. Reaction of hydroxyindanimine with Cu(OAc)₂ · H₂O results in the formation of the mononuclear bis(hydroxyindaniminato)copper(II) complexes Cu[ArNCC₂H₃(CH₃)C₆H₂(R)O]₂ (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr₂C₆H₃, R = H (1), R = Cl (2), and R = Me (3)). The complex 2′ was obtained from the chlorobenzene solution of the complex 2, which has the same molecule formula with the complex 2 but it is a polymorph. All copper(II) complexes were characterized by their IR and elemental analyses. In addition, X-ray structure analyses were performed for complexes 1, 2, and 2′. After being activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO), complexes 1-3 can be used as catalysts for the vinyl polymerization of norbornene with moderate catalytic activities. Catalytic activities and the molecular weight of polynorbornene have been investigated for various reaction conditions.
