Synthesis,characterization and thermal behaviour of adducts

The photoproduct of octacyanomolybdate(IV) and -tungstate(IV) with ethylenediamine and triethylenetetramine give complexes of the type K₃[Mo(O₂)(O)(OH)(C₉H₇ON)]·3C₉H₇ON I, K₂[W(O₂)(O) (C₉H₇ON)₃] II and K₃[Mo(CN)₃(OH)₄(C₉H₇ON)]·2C₉H₇ON·3H₂O III with 8-quinolinol (oxine). The IR spectra of the complex III shows the presence ofv(CN) peaks in the range 2047–2108 cm^?1 and oxine groupv(C-O) in the complex I, II and III in the range of 1100–1150 cm^?1. The lower region of IR spectra shows the M=O stretching while the higher thev(N-H) andv(OH). Thermal studies show the removal of uncoordinated water at 131?C from complex III. The decomposition of complexes I and II start from 150 and 212?C respectively. Oxine and cyano molecules were removed in stages at higher temperatures. The final product of the thermal decomposition was oxide which was of polymeric nature. The kinetic parameters viz. order of reaction ‘n’ and activation energy ‘E’ were determined by different methods.     

Thermal studies of some biologically active oxovanadium(IV) complexes containing 8-hydroxyquinolinate and hydroxamate ligands

The thermal decomposition behaviours of oxovanadium(IV)hydroxamate complexes of composition [VO(Q)_2?n(HL^1,2)_n]: [VO(C₉H₆ON)(C₆H₄(OH)(CO)NHO)] (I), [VO(C₆H₄(OH)(CO)NHO)₂] (II), [VO(C₉H₆ON)(C₆H₄(OH)(5-Cl)(CO)NHO)] (III), and [VO(C₆H₄(OH)(5-Cl)(CO)NHO)₂] (IV) (where Q?=?C₉H₆NO^? 8-hydroxyquinolinate ion; HL¹?=?[C₆H₄(OH)CONHO]^? salicylhydroxamate ion; HL²?=?[C₆H₃(OH)(5-Cl)CONHO]^? 5-chlorosalicylhydroxamate ion; n?=?1 and 2), which are synthesised by the reactions of [VO(Q)₂] with predetermined molar ratios of potassium salicylhydroxamate and potassium 5-chlorosalicylhydroxamate in THF?+?MeOH solvent medium, have been studied by TG and DTA techniques. Thermograms indicate that complexes (I) and (III) undergo single-step decomposition, while complexes (II) and (IV) decompose in two steps to yield VO(HL^1,2) as the likely intermediate and VO₂ as the ultimate product of decomposition. The formation of VO₂ has been authenticated by IR and XRD studies. From the initial decomposition temperatures, the order of thermal stabilities for the complexes has been inferred as III?>?I > II?>?IV.     

The Synthesis of Mono- and Bi-Metallic Platinum(II) and/or (IV) Complexes Containing the Ligand Bis(diphenylphosphino) Methylamine

Complexes of the type [Pt R₂ (dppma-PP′)] (R─Me, Et, Ph, CH₂Ph, C₆H₄ Me-p, C₆H₄OMe-2, CH₂CMe₃, 1-naphthyl, C₆H₄Me-o, dppma = Ph₂PNMe PPh₂) have been prepared from [PtCl₂, (dppma-PP′)] and the corresponding alkyl-lithium or Grignard reagents. Equilibrium constants, k, for the conversion of [PtR₂ (dppma-PP′)] into cis-[PtR₂(dppma-P)₂] with dppma were studied using ³¹P NMR spectroscopy at room temperature. Equilibrium is rapidly established for R─C₆H₄-Me-o, at 20°C. Complex of the type cis-[PtR₂ (dppma-P)₂] was isolated R─C₆H₄ Me-o. The complexes [PtMe₂(dppma-P)₂] and [Pt(o-methoxyphenyl)₂(dppma-P)₂] were prepared, but unfortunately decomposed once isolated, the only evidence for its formation being from ³¹P-{¹H} NMZR spectroscopy. The o-tolyl or 1-naphthyl complexes exist as syn-anti mixtures in solution, due to restricted rotation around the platinum aryl bonds. Treatment of several complexes of the type [PtR₂(dppma-PP′)] with MeI gives [PtR₂Me(I)(dppma-PP′)] with trans addition of MeI. Treatment of [PtR₂(dppma-PP′)] with HCl gives [Pt Cl (R) (dppma-PP′)] for R─C₆H₂Me₃-2,4,6, C₆H₄-CH₃-2, C₆H₄-Me-4, Me, 1-naphthyl. The ¹H, ³¹P NMR parameters for these complexes are discussed. Attempted preparation of complexes of the type [PtR₂ (dppma-P)₂M] (R─C₆H₄-Me-2, Me CN-C₆H₄-Me-4); M─Pd, Pt, Au,) are reported.     

Synthesis and characterization of heterobimetallic mixed-ligand complexes containing Zr(μ-OPri)2Al bridging units

Interesting varieties of heterobimetallic mixed-ligand complexes [Zr{M(OPrⁱ) _n }₂ (L)] (where M = Al, n = 4, L = OC₆H₄CH = NCH₂CH₂O (1); M = Nb, n = 6, L = OC₆H₄CH = NCH₂CH₂O (2); M = Al, n = 4, L = OC₁₀H₆CH = NCH₂CH₂O (3); M = Nb, n = 6, L = OC₁₀H₆CH = NCH₂CH₂O (4)), [Zr{Al(OPrⁱ)₄}₂Cl(OAr)] (where Ar = C₆H₃Me₂-2,5 (5); Ar = C₆H₂Me-4-Bu₂-2,6 (6), [Zr{Al(OPrⁱ)₄}₂(OAr)₂] (where Ar = C₆H₃Me₂-2,5 (7); Ar = C₆H₂Me-4-Bu₂-2,6 (8), [Zr{Al(OPrⁱ)₄}₃(OAr)] (where Ar = C₆H₃Me₂-2,5 (9); Ar = C₆H₃Me₂-2,6 (10), [ZrAl(OPrⁱ)_7-n (ON=CMe₂) _n ] (where n = 4 (11); n = 7 (12), [ZrAl₂(OPrⁱ)_10-n (ON=CMe₂) _n ] (where n = 4 (13); n = 6 (14); n = 10 (15) and [Zr{Al(OPrⁱ)₄}₂{ON=CMe(R)} _n Cl_2–n] [where n = 1, R = Me (16); n = 2, R = Me (17); n = 1, R = Et (18); n = 2, R = Et (19)] have been prepared either by the salt elimination method or by alkoxide-ligand exchange. All of these heterobimetallic complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight measurements, and spectroscopic (I.r., ¹H-, and ²⁷Al- n.m.r.) studies.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of N-methyl-o-phenylenediamine coordinated to the PdII and PtII atoms

The reactions of N-methyl-ortho-phenylenediamine (1) with K₂MCl₄ (M = Pd or Pt) were investigated. At the first stage, the tetraamine dicationic complexes [(C₆H₄(NH₂)(NMeH))₂M]Cl₂ were formed. Oxidation of these compounds with atmospheric oxygen in an alkaline medium afforded the neutral semiquinonediimine complexes [C₆H₄(NH)(NMe)]₂M. The structures of the {[(C₆H₄)(NH₂)(NHMe)]₂Pd}Cl₂ and [C₆H₄(NH)(NPh)]₂Pt complexes were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.

The cations [PEt₃)₂(Ar)Pt(μ₂-H)Pt(Ar^b')(PEt₃)₂]^b+ (Ar = Ph and Ar^b' - 2,4-Me₂C₆H₃ and 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂ have bee identified in solution. Their ^b1H- and ^b31P-NMR data are reported.

, has been measured calorimetrically. The Ptolefin bond in this complex is slightly stronger than that in Pt(PPh₃)₂(η-PhCHCH₂).     

Oxidative addition of boron–boron, boron–chlorine and boron–bromine bonds to platinum(0)

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation of the new diborane(4) compounds B₂(1,2-O₂C₆Cl₄)₂ and B₂(1,2-O₂C₆Br₄)₂ are reported together with the diborane(4) bis-amine adduct [B₂(calix)(NHMe₂)₂] (calix=Bu^tcalix[4]arene). B–B bond oxidative addition reactions between the platinum(0) compound [Pt(PPh₃)₂(η-C₂H₄)] and the diborane(4) compounds B₂(1,2-S₂C₆H₄)₂, B₂(1,2-O₂C₆Cl₄)₂ and B₂(1,2-O₂C₆Br₄)₂ are also described which result in the platinum(II) bis-boryl complexes cis-[Pt(PPh₃)₂{B(1,2-S₂C₆H₄)}₂], cis-[Pt(PPh₃)₂{B(1,2-O₂C₆Cl₄)}₂] and cis-[Pt(PPh₃)₂{B(1,2-O₂C₆Br₄)}₂] respectively, the former two having been characterised by X-ray crystallography. In addition, the platinum complex [Pt(PPh₃)₂(η-C₂H₄)] reacts with XB(1,2-O₂C₆H₄) (X=Cl, Br) affording the mono-boryl complexes trans-[PtX(PPh₃)₂{B(1,2-O₂C₆H₄)}] as a result of oxidative addition of the B–X bonds to the Pt(0) centre; the chloro derivative has been characterised by X-ray crystallography.     

Anion‐Controlled Switching of an X Ligand into a Z Ligand: Coordination Non‐innocence of a Stiboranyl Ligand

The tetravalent platinum stiboranyl complex [(o‐(Ph₂P)C₆H₄)₂(o‐C₆Cl₄O₂)Sb]PtCl₂Ph ( 2 ) has been synthesized by reaction of [(o‐(Ph₂P)C₆H₄)₂SbClPh]PtCl ( 1 ) with o‐chloranil. In the presence of fluoride anions, the stiboranyl moiety of 2 displays non‐innocent behavior and is readily converted into a fluorostiborane unit. This transformation, which is accompanied by elimination of a chloride ligand from the Pt center, results in the formation of [(o‐(Ph₂P)C₆H₄)₂(o‐C₆Cl₄O₂)SbF]PtClPh ( 3 ). Structural, spectroscopic, and computational studies show that the conversion of 2 into 3 is accompanied by a cleavage of the covalent Pt? Sb bond present in 2 and formation of a longer and weaker Pt→Sb interaction in 3 . These results show that this new Pt–Sb platform supports the fluoride‐induced metamorphosis of a stiboranyl X ligand into a stiborane Z ligand.     

Strength of the PtCS2 bond in Pt(PPh3)2(CS2)

The enthalpy of the reaction: Pt(PPh₃)₂(CH₂CH₂)(cryst.) + CS₂(g) → Pt(PPh₃)₂(CS₂)(cryst.) + CH₂CH₂(g) has been determined as ΔH = ? 4.40 ± 2.2 kJ mol^?1 from solution calorimetry, and the bond dissociation energy D(PtCS₂) shown to be slightly greater than D(PtC₂H₄).     

Polythiolated complexes. Part 2(1). Palladium(II) and platinum(II) derivatives of polyfluorophenylthiolates

Summary The preparation and characterization of the new thiolate complexes [M(SR)₂(SEt₂)₂] (M=Pt, R=C₆F₅ orp-C₆HF₄) and [M(SR)₂]_n (M=Pd, R=C₆F₅,p-C₆HF₄ orp-C₆H₄F; M=Pt, R=p-C₆H₄F) is discussed. The tendency to form polymeric, rather than monomeric species, varies as follows: Pd>Pt; C₆H₄F>C₆HF₄> C₆F₅. [Pt(SC₆F₅)₂(SEt₂)₂] has atrans square planar coordination.     

Darstellung,spektroskopische Charakterisierung und Kristallstrukturen von [(C5H5N)2CH2][PtCl5(SCN)] und cis-[(C5H5N)2CH2][PtCl4(SCN)2]

X-Ray structure determinations on single crystals of [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][PtCl₅(SCN)] ( 1 ) (tetragonal, space group P 4₃, a = 7.687(1), c = 29.698(4), Z = 4) and cis-[(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][PtCl₄(SCN)₂] ( 2 ) (monoclinic, space group P 2₁/n, a = 11.2467(9), b = 15.0445(10), c = 11.3179(13), β = 92.840(9)°, Z = 4) show, that the thiocyanate groups are coordinated via S atoms with average Pt–S distances of 2.339 Å and Pt–S–C angles of 104.7° up to 107.1°. Using the molecular parameters of the X-ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra have been assigned by normal coordinate analyses. The valence force constants of the S–Pt–Cl˙ axes are f_d(PtS) = 1.81 ( 1 ) and 1.87 ( 2 ), f_d(PtCl ^× ) = 1.77 ( 1 ) and 1.81 ( 2 ), of the Cl–Pt–Cl axes are f_d(PtCl) = 1.93 ( 1 ) and 1.90 mdyn/Å ( 2 ). The ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectra from dichlormethane solutions exhibit each one sharp signal at 3975.6 ( 1 ) and 3231.6 ppm ( 2 ), respectively.     

Toxicology and antitumour activity of ferrocenylamines and platinum derivatives

Toxicity, antitumour, platinum distribution, hepatotoxicity and histology data are presented for a series of ferrocenylamines: [(η‐C₅H₄(CH₂)_nNH₂)FeCp] (n = 0,1) ( 1 , 2 ); [(η‐C₅H₄CH₂NHPh)FeCp] ( 3 ); [(η‐C₅H₄CH₂NMe₂)FeCp] ( 4 ); {[η‐C₅H₄CH(Me)NMe₂]FeCp} ( 5 ); [η‐C₅H₄CH₂NMe₂)₂Fe] ( 6 ); {[1,2η‐C₅H₃(CHMeNMe₂)(PPh₂)]FeCp} ( 7 ); {[1,2η‐C₅H₃(CHMeNMe₂)(PPh₂)]Fe[η‐C₅H₄PPh₂]} ( 8 ); and their complexes cis‐PtCl₂L₂ ( 9 ); trans ‐ Pt(L)(dmso)X₂ ( 10 ); [σ ‐ (L)Pt(dmso)X] ( 11 , 12 ) {σ‐(L)[Pt(dmso)X]₂} ( 13 ); [σ‐(L)PtP(OPh)₃Cl] ( 14 ) (L = ferrocenylamine). The toxicity order is 1 – 3 ≫ 4 – 8 for the ferrocenylamines; the lower toxicity of tertiary amines may be due to protonation in vivo. Pt(II) complexes all show increased toxicity over the ligand. Liver, not kidney, damage is the norm from i.p. injection of 1 – 14 and detailed platinum distribution, blood serum and histology studies with 9 and 11 show that the platinum distribution does not correlate with liver dysfunction. Complexes 9 – 14 , but not 1 – 8 , were active against P‐388 mouse leukaemia tumour and cisplatin‐resistant sarcoma, but inactive against L‐1210 mouse leukaemia and B‐16 melanoma.

Four novel Z-shaped hexanuclear vanadium oxide clusters as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for cycloaddition of CO2 and oxidative desulfurization reactions

Chemical fixation of CO₂ into C1 source, as a general approach, can effectively alleviate the emission of greenhouse gasses. Whereas, the challenge posed by the need for efficient catalysts with high catalytic active sites still exists. In this work, we reported a series of new hexavanadate clusters, [(C₆H₆ON)₂(C₂H₈N₂)₂(CH₃O)₆V^IV₆O₈] (V₆–1), [(C₆H₆ON)₂(C₃H₁₀N₂)₂(CH₃O)₆V^IV₆O₈] (V₆–2), [(C₆H₆ON)₂(C₆H₁₄N₂)₂(CH₃O)₆V^IV₆O₈] (V₆–3) and [(C₆H₆ON)₂(C₄H₁₁N₂O)₂(CH₃O)₄V^IV₆O₈] (V₆–4), assembled by 2-aminophenol and four different kinds of Lewis bases (LB), ethanediamine (en), 1,2-diaminopropane, 1,2-cyclohexanediamine and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine (ben) together. Among them, the basic unit {V₆} cluster featured Z-shaped configuration represents a brand-new example of hexanuclear vanadium clusters. Remarkably, the catalytic tests demonstrated that V₆–1 as catalyst displays high catalytic activity in the cycloaddition for the CO₂ fixation into cyclic carbonates by virtue of open V sites. As expected, for oxidative desulfurization of sulfides, V₆–1 also exhibits satisfied catalytic effectiveness. Furthermore, the recycling test confirmed that catalyst V₆–1 may be a bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst with great promise for both CO₂ cycloaddition and oxidative desulfurization reactions.     

Synthesis of palladium and platinum donor complexes and study of their participation in self-assembly reactions. X-ray crystal structure of [Pt(C6H4CCC5H4N)2(dppp)] (dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane)

Novel square-planar compounds [M(NC₅H₄CCH)₂(dppp)](OTf)₂ (M = Pd (1), Pt (2)), [Pt(CCC₆H₄CN)₂(dppp)] (3) and [Pt(C₆H₄CCC₅H₄N)₂(dppp)] (4) (dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) were prepared and characterised. Their potential as building blocks in the generation of heterobimetallic squares was studied. The reaction of 4 and the ditopic acceptor species [Pd(H₂O)₂(dppf)](OTf)₂ enabled a tetrametallic metallocycle containing two platinum and two palladium atoms to be obtained. The crystal X-ray structure of 4 shows that the Pt?N vectors are nearly perpendicular, and confirm the suitability of the compound to act as a corner unit for the construction of molecular squares.     

Linkage isomerism of organoplatinum(II) compounds coordinated by two 1,3‐di­methyl­barbiturate anions

In two linkage isomers, bis[1,3‐di­methyl‐2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)‐pyrimidine­trionato]‐C⁵,O⁴‐(ethyl­enedi­amine‐N,N′)platinum(II), [Pt(C₆H₇N₂O₃)₂(C₂H₈N₂)], (I), and bis[1,3‐di­methyl‐2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)‐py­rim­idine­tri­on­ato‐C⁵](ethyl­enediamine‐N,N′)­plati­num(II) di­hyd­rate, [Pt(C₆H₇N₂O₃)₂(C₂H₈N₂)]·2H₂O, (II), crystal­lized from the same aqueous solution containing [Pt(en)(OH)₂] and 1,3‐di­methyl­barbituric acid (Hdmbarb) in a 1:2 molar ratio, a pair of monodentate dmbarb^? anions coordinate to the Pt atom at tetrahedral C atoms for (II), while one dmbarb^? anion coordinates at the carbon and the other at a deprotonated enol oxy­gen for (I). The Pt—C distances in (I) and (II) are comparable: 2.112 (4) Å for (I), and 2.114 (4) and 2.117 (4) Å for (II).     

The classification of trigonal bipyramidal platinum(II), rhodium(I) and iridium(I) olefin complexes

It is shown that trigonal bipyramidal platinum(II), rhodium(I) and iridium(I) olefin complexes are better classified with the platinum(O) complex [Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄)] as class T olefin complexes than with the square-planar platinum(II) complexes such as [Pt(C₂H₄)Cl₃]^- which fall in class S. The underlying reasons for this are considered to be electronic rather than steric as was previously suggested.     

Pt2II and Pt2III dimers containing a Pt2(2,2′‐bipyridine)2(μ‐N,N‐dimethyl­guanidinato)2 unit

The syntheses and crystal structures of the title Pt₂^II and Pt₂^III dimers doubly bridged with N,N‐dimethyl­guanidinate ligands, namely bis­(μ‐N,N‐dimethyl­guanidinato)bis­[(2,2′‐bipyridine)platinum(II)](Pt—Pt) bis­(hexa­fluoro­phosphate) acetonitrile disolvate, [Pt₂^II(C₃H₈N₃)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂](PF₆)₂·2CH₃CN, (I), and guanidinium bis­(μ‐N,N‐dimethyl­guanidinato)bis­[(2,2′‐bipyridine)sulfatoplatinum(III)](Pt—Pt) bis­(hexa­fluoro­phosphate) nitrate hexa­hydrate, (C₃H₁₀N₃)[Pt^III₂(C₃H₈N₃)₂(SO₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]NO₃·6H₂O, (II), are reported. The oxidation of the Pt₂^II dimer into the Pt₂^III dimer results in a marked shortening of the Pt—Pt distance from 2.8512 (6) to 2.5656 (4) Å. The change is mainly compensated for by the change in the dihedral angle between the two Pt coordination planes upon oxidation, from 21.9 (2) to 16.9 (3)°. We attribute the relatively strong one‐dimensional stack of dimers achieved in the Pt₂^II compound in part to the strong Pt^II⋯C(bpy) associations (bpy is 2,2′‐bipyridine) in the crystal structure [Pt⋯C = 3.416 (10) and 3.361 (12) Å].     

Komplexchemie perhalogenierter Cyclopentadiene und Alkine: III. Reaktion von Pt(PPh3)2(C2H4) mit Monofluoracetylen und Dichloracetylen. Kristallstruktur von Pt(PPh3)2(Cl)(CCCl)
