The coordination polyhedron about the copper(I) atom in the two complexes is best described as a distorted tetrahedron. A quasireversible redox behavior is observed for complex 1 and 2 (E_1/2 = 0.55 and 0.95 V, respectively).

The coordination polyhedron about the Cu^I center in the two complexes is best described as a distorted tetrahedron. The ¹H‐NMR and electronic spectra of these complexes are also reported and discussed. The cyclic voltammetry of the complexes indicate a quasireversible redox behavior for complex 1 (E_1/2=0.51 V). However, complex 2 displays an irreversible oxidation wave at 0.91 V. A weak emission is observed for complex 2 in CHCl₃ at room temperature.     

Reactions of [ReOX3(PPh3)2] Complexes (X = Cl,Br) with Phenylacetylene and the Structures of the Products

Oxorhenium(V) complexes [ReOX₃(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, Br) react with phenylacetylene under formation of complexes with ylide‐type ligands. Compounds of the compositions [ReOCl₃(PPh₃){C(Ph)C(H)(PPh₃)}] ( 1 ), [ReOBr₃(OPPh₃){C(Ph)C(H)(PPh₃)}] ( 2 ), and [ReOBr₃(OPPh₃){C(H)C(Ph)(PPh₃)}] ( 3 ) were isolated and characterized by X‐ray diffraction. They contain a ligand, which was formed by a nucleophilic attack of released PPh₃ at coordinated phenylacetylene. The structures of the products show that there is no preferable position for this attack. Cleavage of the Re–C bond in 3 and dimerization of the organic ligand resulted in the formation of the [{(PPh₃)(H)CC(Ph)}₂]²⁺ cation, which crystallized as its [(ReOBr₄)(OReO₃)]^2– salt.     

Coinage (Cu,Ag) metal derivatives of salicylaldehyde N-ethylthiosemicarbazone: synthesis,spectroscopy, and structures

Reactions of copper(I) halides with triphenyl phosphine in acetonitrile followed by the addition of salicylaldehyde N-ethylthiosemicarbazone {(2-OH–C₆H₄)(H)C²=N³–N²H–C¹(=S)N¹HEt, H₂stsc-NEt} in chloroform in 1?:?2?:?1 (Cl) or 1?:?1?:?1 (Br, I) molar ratios yield mononuclear, [CuCl(η ¹-S-H₂stsc-NHEt)(PPh₃)₂] (1) and sulfur-bridged dinuclear, [Cu₂X₂(μ-S-H₂stsc-NEt)₂(PPh₃)₂] (X?=?Br, 4; I, 5) complexes. Similarly, reaction of silver halides (Cl, Br) with H₂stsc-NEt in acetonitrile followed by the addition of PPh₃ to the solid that formed (1?:?1?:?2 molar ratio), yielding mononuclear complexes, [AgX(η ¹-S-H₂stsc-NHEt)(PPh₃)₂] (Cl, 2; Br, 3). All these complexes are characterized with analytical data, IR, and NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The ligand favored η ¹-S bonding in 1, 2, and 3, and μ-S bonding in 4 and 5. Cu?···?Cu contacts were 3.063?Å. The complexes form 1-D or 2-D H-bonded networks, entrapping solvent in some cases.     

Synthesis,characterization, and antibacterial activities of copper(I) bromide complexes of thioureas: X-ray structure of [Cu(Metu)<Subscript>4</Subscript>]Br

Copper(I) complexes of thioureas having the general formulae [CuL_nBr] and [CuL_n]Br [where, n = 1 − 4 and L = thiourea (Tu), N-methylthiourea (Metu), N-ethylthiourea (Ettu), N,N^′-dipropylthiourea (Dprtu), N,N^′-dibutylthiourea (Dbtu) or N,N^′-diphenylthiourea (Dphtu)] were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and NMR (¹H and ¹³C) spectroscopy. The crystal structure of one of them, [Cu(Metu)₄]Br (1), was determined by X-ray crystallography. The X-ray structure of 1 describes a tetrahedral geometry around copper(I) with all Metu ligands binding through sulfur atoms. An upfield shift in the ¹³C NMR and downfield shift in the ¹H NMR spectra are consistent with the thione coordination to copper(I). Antimicrobial activities of the complexes were evaluated by the minimum inhibitory concentration method. The results showed that only [Cu(Ettu)₃Br] was effective in inhibiting the growth of all the tested organisms (gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria, and Candida sp.), while the other complexes were not effective against all the organisms.     

Synthesis and characterization of the [Cu(Cin2bda)2]ClO4 and [Cu(Ncin2bda)2]ClO4 complexes: Crystal structure of [Cu(Ncin2bda)2]ClO4

Two copper(I) complexes [Cu(Cin₂bda)₂]ClO₄ (I) and [Cu(Ncin₂bda)₂]ClO₄ (II) have been prepared by the reaction of the ligands N²,N²′-bis(3-phenylallylidene)biphenyl-2,2′-diamine (L¹) and N²,N²′-bis[3-(2-nitrophenyl)allylidene]biphenyl-2,2′-diamine (L²) and copper(I) salt. These compounds were characterized by CHN analyses, ¹H NMR, IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The C=N stretching frequency in the copper(I) complexes shows a shift to a lower frequency relative to the free ligand due to the coordination of the nitrogen atoms. The crystal and molecular structure of II was determined by X-ray single-crystal crystallography. The coordination polyhedron about the copper(I) center in the complex is best described as a distorted tetrahedron. A quasireversible redox behavior was observed for complexes I and II. The article is published in the original.     

REACTIONS OF CARBONYLSULPHIDE WITH [Rh(PPh3)3CI] AND [Pt(PPh3)3]

Abstract

Activation of small inorganic molecules (H₂, N₂, O₂, CO, NO, CO₂, SO₂, CS₂) by the complexes of transition metal ions like Rh(I), Ir(I), Pt(O) and Ru(II) have gained considerable interest during the last decade.^1–8 Because of the similarity of CO₂ and CS₂ molecules with COS, one would expect COS to form complexes with the transition metal ions analogous to those of CO₂ and CS₂. In addition, COS being susceptible to decomposition into CO and S, could also form carbonyl complexes. Until now, the only reaction of COS that has been successfully carried out is with [Pt(PPh₃)₃] which resulted in the formation of [Pt(COS)(PPh₃)₂] and [Pt₂S(CO) (PPh₃)₃]. ^8,9 It will, therefore, be interesting to study further the reactions of COS with the complexes of transition metal ions. The results of a preliminary study of such reactions with [Rh(PPh₃)₃Cl] and [Pt(PPh₃)₃] are reported in this communication.     

The syntheses,crystal, molecular and electronic structures of two polymorphs of [ReCl2(N2COPh)(C3N2H4)(PPh3)2] and [ReCl2(N2COPh)(py)(PPh3)2] complexes

The [ReCl₂(η²-N₂COPh–N^′,O)(PPh₃)₂] complex reacts with pyridine and pyrazole to give [ReCl₂(N₂COPh)(py)(PPh₃)₂] and [ReCl₂(N₂COPh)(C₃N₂H₄)(PPh₃)₂], respectively. Two monoclinic polymers of [ReCl₂(N₂COPh)(C₃N₂H₄)(PPh₃)₂] and [ReCl₂(N₂COPh)(py)(PPh₃)₂] have been characterized by IR, UV–Vis, ¹H NMR, magnetic measurements and X-ray structure.     

Complexes of N‐Thiophosphorylthiourea α‐NaphthylNHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)2 (HL) with Copper(I). Crystal Structures of HL and Cu(PPh3)2L

Reaction of the potassium salt of N‐thiophosphorylated thiourea α‐naphthylNHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)₂ ( HL ) with Cu(PPh₃)₃I in aqueous EtOH/CH₂Cl₂ leads to the mononuclear complex [Cu(PPh₃)₂L–S,S′]. By using copper(I) iodide instead ofCu(PPh₃)₃I, the polynuclear complex [Cu_n(L–S,S′)_n] was obtained. The structures of these compounds were investigated by elemental analysis, ¹H and ³¹P{¹H} NMR and IR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of HL and Cu(PPh₃)₂L were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

Proton Affinities of Cationic Carbone Adducts [AC(PPh3)2]+ (A=Halogen,Hydrogen, Methyl) and Unusual Electronic Structures of the Cations and Dications [AC(H)(PPh3)2]2+

This work reports the syntheses and the first crystal structures of the cationic carbone adducts [FC(PPh₃)₂]⁺ and [BrC(PPh₃)₂]⁺ and the protonated dication [FC(H)(PPh₃)₂]²⁺, which are derived from the carbone C(PPh₃)₂. Quantum chemical calculations and bonding analyses were carried out for the series of cations [AC(PPh₃)₂]⁺ and dications [AC(H)(PPh₃)₂]²⁺, where A=H, Me, F, Cl, Br, I. The bonding analysis suggests that the cations are best described as phosphane complexes L→(CA)⁺←L (L=PPh₃), which are related to the neutral borylene adducts L→(BA)←L (L=cyclic carbene; A=H, aryl) that were recently isolated. The carbone adducts [AC(PPh₃)₂]⁺ possess a π electron lone pair at carbon and they can easily be protonated to the dications [AC(H)(PPh₃)₂]²⁺. The calculations of the dications indicate that the molecules are best represented as complexes L→(CHA)²⁺←L (L=PPh₃) where a carbene dication is stabilized by the ligands. The central carbon atom in the cations and even in the dications carries a negative partial charge, which is larger than the negative charge at fluorine. There is also the peculiar situation in which the carbon–fluorine bonds in [FC(PPh₃)₂]⁺ and [FC(H)(PPh₃)₂]²⁺ exhibit the expected polarity with the negative end at fluorine, but the carbon atom has a larger negative charge than fluorine. Given the similarity of carbodiphosphorane C(PPh₃)₂ and carbodicarbene C(NHC)₂, we expect that analogous compounds [AC(NHC)₂]⁺ and [AC(H)(NHC)₂]²⁺ with similar features as [AC(PPh₃)₂]⁺ and [AC(H)(PPh₃)₂]²⁺ can be isolated.

Diminished electron density in the Vaska‐type rhodium(I) complex trans‐[Rh(NCBH3)(CO)(PPh3)2]

Vaska‐type complexes, i.e. trans‐[RhX(CO)(PPh₃)₂] (X is a halogen or pseudohalogen), undergo a range of reactions and exhibit considerable catalytic activity. The electron density on the Rh^I atom in these complexes plays an important role in their reactivity. Many cyanotrihydridoborate (BH₃CN⁻) complexes of Group 6–8 transition metals have been synthesized and structurally characterized, an exception being the rhodium(I) complex. Carbonyl(cyanotrihydridoborato‐κN)bis(triphenylphosphine‐κP)rhodium(I), [Rh(NCBH₃)(CO)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂], was prepared by the metathesis reaction of sodium cyanotrihydridoborate with trans‐[RhCl(CO)(PPh₃)₂], and was characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis and IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹B NMR spectroscopy. The X‐ray diffraction data indicate that the cyanotrihydridoborate ligand coordinates to the Rh^I atom through the N atom in a trans position with respect to the carbonyl ligand; this was also confirmed by the IR and NMR data. The carbonyl stretching frequency ν(CO) and the carbonyl carbon ¹J_C–Rh and ¹J_C–P coupling constants of the C_ipso atoms of the triphenylphosphine groups reflect the diminished electron density on the central Rh^I atom compared to the parent trans‐[RhCl(CO)(PPh₃)₂] complex.

Reaction between Ru(CO)₂(PPh₃)₃ and MeHgI yields Ru[η²-C(O)CH₃]I(CO)(PPh₃)₂ which in solution exists mainly as RuCH₃I(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ and crystal structure determination of Ru[η²-C(O)CH₃]I(CO)(PPh₃)₂ and previously described Ru[η²-C(O)p-tolyl]I(CO) (PPh₃)₂ confirms that in the solid state both molecules contain dihapto-acyl ligands.

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of new tetradentate N2S2 donor Schiff-base ligand ca2-dapte: Mononuclear and dinuclear copper(I) complexes [Cu(ca2dapte)]ClO4 and [{Cu(PPh3)(X)}2(ca2dapte)] (X = I and Br)

A mononuclear copper(I) complex, [Cu(ca₂dapte)]ClO₄ (1), and two dinuclear copper(I) complexes, [{Cu(PPh₃)(X)}₂(ca₂dapte)] (X = I (2) and Br (3)), of a new tetradentate N₂S₂ donor Schiff-base ligand ca₂dapte have been prepared (ca₂dapte = N,N′-bis(trans-cinnamaldehyde)-1,2-di(o-iminophenylthio)ethane). These compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses (CHN), FT-IR, UV–Vis and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of these copper(I) complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination geometry around Cu(I) centers in these complexes is a distorted tetrahedron. The ca₂dapte is coordinated to Cu(I) as a tetradentate ligand in 1, while it acts as a bis-bidentate bridging ligand in 2 and 3.     

Novel Copper(I) Clusters with 2‐(Diphenylphosphanyl)anilide Ligands. Synthesis and Crystal Structures of [Cu6X2(NHR)4] (X = Cl,Br, I; R = C6H4‐2‐PPh2)

Treatment of copper(I) halides CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) with lithium 2‐(diphenylphosphanyl)anilide [Li(HL)] in THF led to the formation of hexanuclear copper(I) complexes [Cu₆X₂(HL)₄] [X = Cl ( 1 ), Br ( 2 ), I ( 3 )]. In compounds 1 – 3 , the copper atoms are in a distorted octahedral arrangement and the amide ligands adopt a μ₃‐κP,κ²N bridging mode. Additionally there are two μ₂‐bridging halide ligands. Each of the [Cu₆X₂(HL)₄] clusters comprises two copper atoms, which are surrounded by two amide nitrogen atoms in an almost linear coordination [Cu–N: 186.2(3)–188.0(3) pm] and four copper atoms, which are connected to an amide N atom, a P atom, and a halogen atom in a distorted trigonal planar fashion [Cu–N: 199.6(3)–202.3(3) pm)].
