STEREOSELECTIVITY OF ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS (II); REACTION OF Λ-[Co(EDDS)]− AND Co(II) COMPLEXES WITH STEREOSPECIFIC DIAMINE LIGANDS

Abstract

Stereoselective electron-transfer between optically active Λ-[Co(EDDS)]^? and [Co(diamine)₃]²⁺ (diamine = racemic-1,2-diaminopropane (pn); R-1,2-diaminopropane (R-pn)) have been investigated in aqueous and in DMSO solutions. In aqueous solution, the reaction between Λ-[Co(EEDS)]^? and [Co(pn)₃]²⁺ produces four conformational isomers of the [Co(pn)₃]³⁺ complex which have the Λ-forms in excess. Their optical purities are increased ob₃>lelob₂> lel₂ob> lel₃ . In contrast, the reaction in DMSO results in more δ isomers than Λ and the sequence of optical purities are in reversed order.

The reaction between Λ-[Co(EDDS)]^? and [Co(R-pn)₃]²⁺ in aqueous solution produces two conformational isomers of [Co(R-pn)₃]³⁺; their absolute configurations are identified as δ-lel₂ob and Λ-ob₃ . In DMSO, in contrast, the reaction produces only one isomer which is identified as δ-lel₂ob.     

Vanadium(II) complexes of aromatic diamines

The new vanadium(II) complexes [V(opd)₄]X₂ and [V(mopd)₄]X₂, where opd = o-phenylenediamine, mopd = 4-methyl-o-phenylenediamine, and X = Cl or Br, have been prepared by reaction of the aromatic diamine with the vanadium(II) halide in EtOH. Magnetic measurements suggest that these contain octahedral vanadium(II) complex cations, and this is confirmed by the diffuse reflectance spectra. I.r. spectra suggest that the [V(opd)₄]²⁺ cations contain two bidentate and two monodentate diamine ligands.     

Thermal studies of 2-methyl-1, 2-propanediamine complexes of nickel(II) in the solid state

Summary The complexes, [NiL₂]Br₂ (L=2-methyl-1, 2-propanediamine), [NiL₂(H₂O)₂]SeO₄·2H₂O, [NiL₂]X₂·2H₂O (X=0.5SO₄ or 0.5SeO₄) and [NiL₂(NCS)₂] have been prepared and investigated thermally. Upon heating, [NiL₂]Br₂ exhibits reversible thermochromism from yellow to blue: [NiL₂]X₂·2H₂O (X=0.5SO₄ or 0.5SeO₄) undergoes dehydration accompanied with irreversible thermochromism from yellow to blue yielding [NiL₂X₂], whereas [NiL₂(H₂O)₂]SeO₄·2H₂O (blue) transforms irreversibly into [NiL₂SeO₄] (blue). [NiL₂]X₂ (X=0.5SO₄ or 0.5SeO₄), prepared from their corresponding diaquo complexes by the temperature arrest technique, shows irreversible thermochromism from yellow to blue without showing any peak in the d.t.a./d.s.c. curves. [NiL₂(NCS)₂] (blue) undergoes a thermally induced phase transition without any visual change. All the yellow species are square planar; the blue species are octahedral. These colour changes are due to configurational changes; the phase change in [NiL₂(NCS)₂] is probably due to conformational changes in the diamine chelate rings.     

Cobalt(II) complexes of 1,2-(diimino-4′-antipyrinyl)ethane and 4-N-(4′-antipyrylmethylidene)aminoantipyrine

Cobalt(II) complexes of the Schiff bases 1,2-(diimino-4-antipyrinyl)ethane (GA) and 4-N-(4-antipyrylmethylidene)aminoantipyrine (AA) have been prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, electrical conductance in non-aqueous solvents, i.r. and electronic spectra, as well as by magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complexes have the general formulae [Co(GA)X]X (X = ClO^– ₄ or NO₃ ^–), [Co(GA)X₂] (X = Cl^–, Br^– or I^–), [Co(AA)₂]X₂ (X = ClO₄ ^–, NO₃ ^–, Br^– or I^–) and [Co(AA)Cl₂]. GA acts as a neutral tetradentate ligand, coordinating through both carbonyl oxygens and both azomethine nitrogens. In the perchlorate and nitrate complexes of GA one anion is coordinated in a bidentate fashion, whereas in the halide complexes both anions are coordinated to the metal, generating an octahedral geometry around the Co ion. AA acts as a neutral bidentate ligand, coordinating through the carbonyl oxygen derived from the aldehydic moiety and the azomethine nitrogen. Both anions remain ionic in the perchlorate, nitrate, bromide and iodide complexes of AA, whereas both anions are coordinated to the metal ion in the chloride complex, resulting tetrahedral geometry around the Co ion.     

Outer-sphere interactions between octahedral chiral cobalt(iii) complexes and water-soluble calixarenes

The structures and stability of outer-sphere associates of sulfonate derivatives of thiacalix[4]arene and calix[4]resorcinarene with coordinatively saturated cobalt(iii) bis- and tris-chelates ([Co(L-His)₂]⁺, [Co(en)₂ox]⁺, [Co(en)₃]³⁺, and [Co(dipy)₃]³⁺) were compared based on the data from UV, CD, 1D ¹H NMR, and 2D (2D NOESY) ¹H NMR spectroscopy and conductometry. Outer-sphere association is accompanied by partial penetration of the chelate rings of the complexes into the hydrophobic cavity of calixarene, which induces changes in the spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric properties of the cobalt(iii) complexes.     

Coordination chemistry of poly(1-pyrazolyl)alkanes Part V: Preparation and characterization of cobalt(II) complexes with bis(1-pyrazolyl)methane and bis(3-methylpyrazolyl)propane

Summary Bis(1-pyrazolyl)methane, H₂Cbpz, and bis(3-methylpyrazolyl)propane, Me₂Cbmpz, react with cobalt(II) salts to give the solid complexes: [Co(H₂Cbpz)₂X₂] ·2H₂O (X=Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, NO ₃ ^– or ClO ₄ ^– ) and [Co(Me₂-Cbmpz)X₂] (X=Cl^–, Br^–, or I^–), which were isolated and characterised by elemental analysis, i.r. and electronic spectra and conductance measurements. From spectral data, octahedral and tetrahedral structures have been proposed for the H₂Cbpz and Me₂Cbmpz complexes respectively. The molar conductance of the complexes indicates that they are non-ionic.     

Transition metall complexes of amidinourea and related ligands. II. Tetrahedral Cobalt(II) Complexes with O-propyl-1-amidinoureas

New cobalt(II) complexes of the formula [Co(AA)₂]X₂ (where AA = O-n-propyl-1-amidinourea and O-iso-propylamidinourea, X = Cl or Br) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectra. The complexes are all violet in colour and posses magnetic moments in the range 4.4–4.5 BM. Electronic spectral and magnetic data identify the complexes as tetrahedral ones. Tetrahedral complexes can only be prepared with O-alkyl-1-amidinoureas containing higher alkyl groups. The electronic spectral data indicate the strong field character of these ligands.     

The solid state reaction between hexaamminechromium(III) complexes and L-α-alanine

The solid reaction between [Cr(NH₃)₆]X₃(X^? = Cl, I, SCN and NO₃) and L-α-alanine was studied under continuous rise in temperature and isothermal heating. Under continuous rise in temperature, the main products were [Cr(NCS)₃-(NH₃)₃] (X^? = NCS) and [Cr(L-ala)₃] (X^? = NO₃), when [Cr(NH₃)₆]Cl₃ and [Cr(NH₃)₆]I₃ as starting complexes were used; in both cases only the decomposition proceeds. Under isothermal heating at 150°C the main products were [CrCl(NH₃)₅]-Cl₂ (X^? = Cl), [Cr(NH₃)₆]I₂ (X^? = I), [Cr(NCS)₃(NH₃)₃] (X^? = SCN) and [Cr(L-ala)₃] (X^? = NO₃). In those matrix reactions, the ease of anion coordination was: SCN^? > Cl^? > I^? > alanine. For the synthesis of tris(alaninato)chromium(III) complex the most desirable starting complex was [Cr(NH₃)₆](NO₃)₃.The solid state reaction between [Cr(en)₃]X₃ type complexes and NH₄X (X^? = F, Cl, Br, I and SCN), KX (X^? = Cl, Br and I), and NaSCN have been reported by Wendlandt and Stembridge¹. They reported that the reaction product in most cases, was cis-[Cr(en)₂Y₂]X, where Y and X are the same or different anions, depending upon the matrix material employed and the thermal matrix method appears to be a useful new route for the synthesis of bis(ethylendiamine(chromium(III) complexes.In the previous paper², the solid state reaction between [Cr(NH₃)₆](NO₃)₃ and L-amino acids has been utilized in the preparation of tris(amino acidato)chromium(III) complexes. The preparation of [Cr(L-ala)₃] by the solid state reaction between [Cr(NH₃)₆](NO₃)₃ and L-alanine have been reported. No studies on the effect of the counter-ion have been reported.In this paper, various hexaamminechromium(III) complexes, [Cr(NH₃)₆]X₃ (X^? = Cl, I, SCN and NO₃), were heated with L-α-alanine under continuous rise in temperature and under isothermal heating at 150°C for studies on the ease of anion coordination. It will seen that the anion which replaces the ammonia in the hexaamminechromium(III) complex comes from either the alanine or counter-ion.     

Zur Konstitution von Bis-(phenanthrolin)-kobalt(II)-Komplexen

On Bis(phenanthroline) cobalt(II) Complexes Spectrophotometric investigations of [Co(phen)₂X₂] complexes in the IR and UV/VIS region are described. The results of this investigations show cis octahedral arrangement of the ligands. From the v₁- and v₃-transitions of the electronic spectra the LF parameters B and D_q are calculated and from this the two electron transition v₂ is estimated. [Co(phen)₂X₂] complexes show symmetry equilibria between octahedral and tetrahedral forms in solutions by reason of complex disproportionation reactions. The green form of the chloride complex could be isolated and identificated as [Co(phen)Cl₂].     

Thermally induced solid-state isomerisation and decomposition of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine nikel(II) complexes

Summary Complexes [NiL₃]Br₂·H₂O (L=2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine), [NiL₂X₂] (X=Cl, Br, NCS, CF₃CO₂, HCCl₂CO₂ or CCl₃CO₂ and X₂=SO₄ or SeO₄) and [NiL(HCCl₂CO₂)₂]·H₂O have been synthesised and their thermal studies have been investigated in the solid state. The complexes, [NiL₂X₂] (X=Cl or Br) and NiLX₂ (X=Cl or HCCl₂CO₂) have been isolated thermally in the solid state. All the complexes possess octahedral geometry. [NiL₂Br₂] and [NiL₂(CF₃CO₂)₂] exist in two interconvertible isomeric forms. H for the conversions were determined. [NiL₂(HCCl₂CO₂)₂] (5) undergoes an irreversible phase transition (178–188°C; H=4.4kJ mol^–1]. NiL(HCCl₂CO₂)₂·H₂O shows an exothermic irreversible phase transition (104–128°C; H=–5.8 kJ mol^–1) after losing water. The phase transitions are assumed to be due to the conformational changes in the chelate ring of diamine.     

The coordination chemistry ofN,N′-ethylenebis(2-acetylpyridine imine) andN,N′-ethylenebis(2-benzoylpyridine imine); two potentially tetradentate ligands containing four nitrogen atoms

Summary New complexes of the general formulae [ML_A(H₂O)₂]-Cl₂ (M=Ni or Cu), [ML_AX₂] (M=Co or Cu; X=Cl or Br), [NiL_ABr₂]·H₂O, [ML_A] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), [NiL_B(H₂O)₂]Cl₂·2H₂O, [ML_BCl₂] (M=Co, Ni, Cu, Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) and [ML_B] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), where L_A=N,N-ethylenebis(2-acetylpyridine imine) and L_B=N, N-ethylenebis(2-benzoylpyridine imine), have been isolated. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, t.g./d.t.g. methods, magnetic susceptibilities and spectroscopic (i.r., far-i.r., ligand field,¹Hn.m.r.) studies. Monomeric pseudo-octahedral stereochemistries for the Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II complexes andcis square planar structures for the compounds [ML_BX₂] (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) are assigned in the solid state. The molecules L_A and L_B behave as tetradentate chelate ligands in the Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Magnus-type Pd^II and Pt^II complexes, bonding through both the pyridine and methine nitrogen atoms. A bidentateN-methine coordination of the Schiff base L_B is assigned in the [ML_BX₂] complexes (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br). The anomalous magnetic moment values of the Co^II complexes are discussed.     

Thermally induced isomeric transformations ofbis-(diamine) complexes of nickel(II) nitrate in the solid phase

Summary Thermal reactions of [Ni(diamine)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ and [Ni(diamine)₂(NO₃)₂] (where diamine=1,2-ethanediamine,N-methyl-1,2-ethanediamine,N-ethyl-1,2-ethanediamine, 1,3-propanediamine andN-methyl-1,3-propanediamine) have been investigated in the solid phase. The 1,2-ethanediamine andN-methyl-1,2-ethanediamine complexes undergo thermally induced endothermic irreversible isomeric transformations. In the 1,2-ethanediamine complex the transformation is thermochromic, whereas it is not for theN-methyl-1,2-ethanediamine complex. The transformations are explained in terms of the axial interaction of NO₃ ions with nickel as well as to ligand field weakening resulting from conformational changes of the individual diamine chelate rings.Supplememtary data available: X-ray powder diffraction data (Table3).     

Chemische Effekte des isomeren Überganges von Brom-80m in Pentamminkobalt(III)-und Bisäthylendiaminkobalt(III)-bromiden

Zusammenfassung Die chemischen Effekte des isomeren Überganges von^80mBr wurden bei Temperaturen von–78° C und–196° C an mit^80mBr markierten Proben von [Co(NH₃)₅ X]Br_3.2 nH₂O und [Co(en)₂ X _2']Br_3.1 nH₂O untersucht (X=NH₃, NCS, NO₂, OH₂, ONO, ONO₂, F, Cl, Br, I, undX'=en, NH₃, NCS, Cl, Br). Es zeigte sich, daß die Ligandenausbeute an⁸⁰Br, in den Komplexen mit abnehmender Frequenz des Maximums in der ersten Absorptionsbande des [Co(NH₃)₅ X] und des [Co(en)₂ X _2'] zunimmt. Mit anderen Worten, weniger stabile, Liganden werden leichter von Radiobrom ersetzt als Folge des isomeren Überganges in festen Komplexen.

Chemical effects of the isomeric transition of^80mBr in pentammincobalt(III) and bisethylenediaminecobalt(III) bromides

The chemical effects of the isomeric transition of^80mBr were investigated at temperatures of–78° C and–196° C with^80mBr-labeled samples of [Co(NH₃)₅ X]Br_3.2 nH₂O and [Co(en)₂ X _2']Br_3.1 nH₂O (X=NH₃, NCS, NO₂, OH₂, ONO, ONO₂, F, Cl, Br, I, andX'=en, NH₃, NCS, Cl, Br). The ligand yield of⁸⁰Br in the complexes was found to increase with the decrease in the frequency of the maximum in the first absorption band of [Co(NH₃)₅ X] and [Co(en)₂ X _2']. In other words, less stable ligands were more easily replaced by radiobromine as a consequence of isomeric transition in solid complexes.

Co-ordination compounds of diacetyldihydrazone and diacetylbis(monomethylhydrazone)

Summary Diacetyldihydrazone (DADH) forms only six-coordinate complexes with iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II). In M(DADH)₂X₂ (M=Fe, X=Br or I; M=Co, X=I; M=Ni, X=Cl, Br or NCS) the ligand is chelating in the [M(DADH)₃]²⁺ cations, while in M(DADH)₂X₂ (M=Co, X=Cl or Br; M=Ni, X=Cl or Br) the ligand is probably bridging and bidentate. Diacetylbismonomethylhydrazone (DAMH), by contrast, forms predominantly tetrahedral complexes M(DAMH)X₂ (M=Fe or Co, X=Cl or Br; M=Ni, X=Br; M=Co, X=NCS; M=Zn, X=Cl, Br or NCS) and some octahedral complexes M(DAMH)₂X₂ (M=Co, X=NCS; M=Ni, X=Br). The i.r. spectra, electronic spectra and magnetic moments of the complexes are discussed.     

Thermal Studies of N-phenylethane-1,2-diamine Complexes of Nickel(II) in the Solid State

[NiL₃]X₂ (where L=N-phenylethane-1,2-diamine and X=I⁻ and ClO₄ ⁻), [NiL₂X₂] (X is Cl⁻, Br⁻, NCS⁻, 0.5SO₄ ²⁻ or 0.5SeO₄ ²⁻) and [NiL₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ have been synthesized from solution and their thermal study has been carried out in the solid phase. [NiL₂Cl₂] upon heating undergoes irreversible endothermic phase transition (142–152°C, ΔH=0.35 kJ mol⁻¹) without showing any visual colour change. This phase transition is assumed to be due to conformation changes of the diamine chelate rings. NiLCl₂ and NiL_2.5I₂ have been prepared pyrolytically from [NiL₂Cl₂] and [NiL₃]I₂ respectively in the solid state. [NiL₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ upon heating undergoes deaquation-anation reaction without showing any visual colour change. [NiL₂X₂] (X is Cl⁻, Br⁻, NCS⁻), [NiL₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ and [NiL₂(NO₃)₂] possess trans-octahedral configuration, whereas, [NiL₂X₂] (X is 0.5SO₄ ²⁻ or 0.5SeO₄ ²⁻) are having cis-octahedral configuration. Amongst the complexes, only NiLCl₂ shows unusually high (5.1 BM at 27°C) magnetic susceptibility value. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TRIS(ALKYLISOCYANIDE) BIS(TRIARYL-PHOSPHINE)COBALT(II) COMPLEXES

Abstract

A series of complexes having the general formula, [Co(CNR)₃(PR₃)₂]X₂, X = ClO₄, BF₄ with CNR = CNCMe₃, CNCHMe₂, CNC₆H₁₁. CNCH₂Ph and PR₃ = PPh₃, P(C₆H₄Me-p)₃, P(C₆H₄OMe-p)₃ has been synthesized and characterized. Synthesis can be achieved by reaction of [Co(CNR)₄(AsPh₃)₂]X₂ complexes with controlled excess of PR₃ ligands, and by AgClO₄/AgBF₄ oxidation of the [Co(CNR)₃(PR₃)₂]X complexes. The latter procedure is preferable. Alternate syntheses of the [Co(CNR)₃(PR₃)₂]X complexes have also been employed. Five-coordinate Co(II) complexes have not been obtained using CNCMe₃ with P(C₆H₄Me-p)₃ ligands, CNCH₂Ph with P(C₆H₄OMe-p)₃ ligands, or CNC₄H_9-n with PPh₃ ligands. [Co(CNC-Me₃)₃{P(C₆H₄Cl-p)₃}₂]ClO₄ produced only [Co{CNCMe₃)₄H₂O](ClO₄)₂ upon forced oxidation with excess AgClO₄. [Co(CNR)₃(PR₃)₂]X₂ complexes appear to undergo varying degrees of distortion from regular (i.e., D _3h symmetry) axially-disubstituted trigonal bipyramidal coordination in the solid state, as evidenced by v(-N°C) IR patterns, but to assume regular trigonal bipyramidal coordination in solution. Effective magnetic moments indicate one-electron paramagnetism, and solution electronic spectra are compatible with trigonal bipyramidal coordination.     

Conductance behavior of some tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) complexes and their ion association in aqueous solutions

The conductance behavior of some tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) complexes was studied in dilute aqueous solutions at 25°C to investigate the ion-pair formation. The thermodynamic formation constants of the ion pairs [Co(en)₃]³⁺·X^– are 28 (chloride), 28 (bromide), 19 (nitrate), and 15 (perchlorate). These values were compared with theoretical values calculated by using Bjerrum's theory of ion association. The formation constant of [Co(en)₃]³⁺·Cl^– was larger than that obtained from the spectrophotometric measurement in solutions containing perchlorate ion. This difference in the formation constants was explained by considering the contribution of ion association of the complex cation with perchlorate ion.     

Thermal behaviour of platinum(II) complexes of diethyl and monoethyl 2-quinolylmethylphosphonates

Summary Thermal study of the molecular and ionic platinum(II) complexes of diethyl (2-dqmp) and monoethyl (2-Hmqmp) ester of 2­quinolylmethylphosphonic acid: dihalide adducts trans-PtL₂X₂ (L=2-dqmp, X=Cl, Br; L=2-Hmqmp, X=Cl), methylquinolinium tetrahaloplatinates [LH⁺]₂[PtX₄^2-] (L=2-dqmp, X=Cl, Br; L=2­Hmqmp, X=Cl, Br), methylquinolinium hexahalodiplatinates [LH⁺]₂[Pt₂X₆^2-](L=2-Hmqmp, X=Cl, Br) and chelate complex Pt(2­mqmp)₂·2H₂O, has been carried out using TG-DTA techniques and the infrared spectroscopic study. There are great differences in the thermal behaviour between various types of complexes, especially between the molecular and the ion-pair salt complexes.     

Cobalt(II) perchlorate,tetrafluoroborate, nitrate and sulphate complexes with 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-thione

Contrary to earlier reports in which no adducts of Co(II) metal ion with 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-thione(HL) could be isolated starting from Co(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O, we now report bis- and tris-ligand Co(II) complexes of the type [Co(HL)₂(H₂O)₂]X₂ · H₂O (X = ClO₄, BF₄), [Co(HL)₂NO₃]NO₃, [Co(HL)₂SO₄] · 0.5H₂O and [Co(HL)₃]X₂ · 0.5H₂O (X = ClO₄, BF₄). They have been synthesized by refluxing 2:1 and 3:1 mixtures of HL and CoX₂ · nH₂O in ethanol-triethyl orthoformate. We also describe new Co(HL)₂X₂ · nH₂O complexes in which for X₂ = ClBr, ClI and BrI, n = 2; for X₂ = I₂, n = 1 and for X₂ = (SCN)₂, n = 0. Structural characterization of the complex species is made from electronic and vibrational spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements in the solid state and conductivity measurements in DMF solution. The magnetic and electronic spectral data together with ligand-field parameters suggest a pseudo-octahedral environment for all the Co(II) complexes, with the exception of Co(HL)₂SO₄ · 0.5H₂O in which the Co(II) ion appears to be pentacoordinated. The IR spectra are consistent with a coordination involving N,S-chelation of the ligand through the non-protonated ring nitrogen atom and the exocyclic sulphur atom.
