Fourier Transform Infrared and Raman Spectra of Metal Halide Complexes of 3,5-Lutedine in Relation to Their Structures

Abstract

Fourier transform infrared (4000-200 cm¹) and Raman (3500-50 cm^?1) spectra are reported for metal(II) halide 3,5-lutidine (3,5-dimethylpyridine) complexes of the following stoichiometries: M(3,5L)₄X₂ M=Co or Ni, X=C1 or Br; M=Mn or Cu, X=Br; M=Cd, X=I; M(3,5L)₃X₂ M=Fe, X=C1; M=Cu, X=Br; Hg(3,5L) X₂ X=C1 or Br.

Vibrational assignments are given for all the observed bands. Some structure- spectra correlations are found. For a given series of isomorphous complexes the sum of the difference between the liquid and ligand values of the vibrational modes of 3,5-lutidine is found to increase in the order of the second ionization potentials of the metals. The frequency shifts are also found to depend on the halogen.     

Infrared Spectra of Some Metal (II) Complexes of 2-Aminomethylpyridine

Abstract

Band assignments in the IR spectra (700–150 cm^?1) of [M(amp)₃] (ClO₄)₂ (amp = 2-aminomethylpyridine; M = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), [Zn(amp)₂Cl₂] and [Pt(amp)Cl₂] derived from amp-ND₂, their unlabelled analogues, [Zn(amp)₂X₂] (X = Br, I) and [Pt(amp)Br₂] are discussed.     

The Application of Infrared Spectra to Structural Problems in Copper(II) Complexes of 2,2′-Bipyridine

The infrared spectra of the complexes [Cu(bipy)₃] (C10₄)^2′ [Cu(bipy)₂] (C10₄)₂, [Cu(bipy)₂I]I, [cu(bipy)₂I] C10₄ and [Cu(bipy)(C10₄)₂] (bipy - 2,2′-bipyridine) are discussed in relation to their known or probable structures. Evidence for tetragonal distortion of [Cu(bipy)₃]₂₊ but not [Cu(phen)₃]₂₊ (phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline) is adduced.     

Study on charge transfer interaction and valence state of layered perovskite-type mixed valence complex [NH3(CH2) n NH3]2[(AuII2)(AuIIII4)(I3)2] (n = 7, 8), by means of 197Au Mössbauer spectroscopy

Cs₂[Au^I X ₂][Au^III X ₄](X = Cl, Br, and I) is well known for the three-dimensional perovskite-type gold mixed valence system. Recently, layered perovskite-type gold mixed valence complexes, [NH₃(CH₂) _n NH₃]₂[(Au^II₂)(Au^IIII₄)(I₃)₂] (n = 7 and 8), have been synthesized. We have investigated the relationship between the structural dimensionality and the Au^I–Au^III charge transfer interaction for Cs₂[Au^II₂][Au^IIII₄] and [NH₃(CH₂) _n NH₃]₂[(Au^II₂)(Au^IIII₄)(I₃)₂] (n = 7 and 8) by means of ¹⁹⁷Au Mössbauer spectroscopy.     

Gold(I) derivatives of secondary phosphines

A combined¹⁹⁷Au Mössbauer and³¹P NMR study of the gold(I)-HPR₂ system (R=phenyl, p-tolyl) has allowed the characterisation of the novel complexes [AuX(HPR₂)] (X=Cl, Br) and [Au(HPR₂)_n]⁺ (n=2–4). Two forms of a polymeric phosphido-bridged compound [AuPR₂]_n have also been identified, only one of which has been previously reported.     

Conformational equilibria in dihaloheptasilanes X2Si[SiMe(SiMe3)2]2 with X = F,Cl, Br,I: A Raman spectroscopic and quantum chemical DFT study

Equilibrium geometries, stabilities and vibrational wavenumbers for conformers of the dihaloheptasilanes X₂Si[SiMe(SiMe₃)₂]₂ with X = F, Cl, Br and I were calculated at the density functional B3LYP level employing 6‐311G(d) basis sets and SDD pseudopotentials for Br and I. Two spectroscopically distinct low‐energy conformers were located for all four heptasilanes with energy differences of 5.5, 4.7, 1.9 and 1.2 kJ mol⁻¹ for X = F, Cl, Br and I, respectively. Five more conformers were found for difluoroheptasilane and four for X = Cl, Br and I. They all have relative energies larger than 7.5 and up to 17 kJ mol⁻¹ and are negligibly populated at room temperature. Variable temperature solution Raman spectra (−70 to + 100 °C) in a wavenumber range typical for Si Si stretching vibrations (280‐350 cm⁻¹) confirm these results. For X = Br and I, no temperature effects at all could be observed as a very rapid inter‐conversion between the two low‐energy conformers, which is fast even on the time scale of Raman spectroscopy, occurs. For X = Cl, rapid inter‐conversion also occurs, and a third conformer could be detected at higher temperatures (50–100 °C). For X = F, intensity changes with temperature are consistent with the presence of two low‐energy conformers. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The Vibrational Spectra of Complexes with Planar Monothiooxamides. III. The Palladium(II) Complexes of Neutral Monothiooxamides

The new complexes trans-[PdX₂(H₄MTO)2] (X = Cl, Br, I), trans-[PdX₂(H₃MMTO)2] (X = Cl, Br, I), trans-[PdX₂(SH₃)2] (X = Cl, Br), [Pd(H₄MTO)₄]CI₂ and [Pd(H₃MMTO)₄]CI₂, where H₄MTO = monothiooxamide, H₃MMTO = N(o)-methylmonothiooxamide and SH₃ = N(s)-methylmonothiooxamide, have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, X-ray powder patterns, thermal methods and spectroscopic (UV/VIS, FT-IR, Laser-Raman) studies. The vibrational analysis of the complexes is given using NH/ND and CH₃/CD₃ isotopic substitutions. Monomeric square planar structures are assigned for the complexes in the solid state. The neutral monothiooxamides behave as monodentate ligands coordinating through their thioamide sulfur atom. The complex [Pd(SH2)2] was isolated during the thermal decomposition of trans-[PdCl₂(SH₃)₂].     

Magnetic properties of the alkanediammonium copper halides

Powder magnetic susceptibility and magnetization data have been obtained for the remaining, unreported members of the quasi-two-dimensional series [NH₃(CH₂)_nNH₃] CuX₄ for n=2?10 and X=Cl and Br. Values for J (in-plane), J′ (out-of-plane) and T_c are tabulated for the entire series. An alternation between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic behavior for the low temperature phases in the bromine series was found. Several unusual low temperature phases which could not be classified were also seen.     

NQR, NMR and Crystal Structure Studies of [C(NH2)3]2HgX4 (X = Br, I)

The crystal structure of [C(NH₂)₃]₂HgBr₄ has been determined at room temperature: monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 10.035(2), b = 11.164(2), c = 13.358(3) Å, β = 111.67(3)°, and Z = 4. The crystal consists of planar [C(NH₂)₃]⁺ and distorted tetrahedral [HgBr₄]^2? ions. The Hg atom is located on a two-fold axis such that two sets of inequivalent Br atoms exist in an [HgBr₄]^2? ion. In accordance with the crystal structure, two ⁸¹Br NQR lines widely separated in frequency were observed between 77 and ca. 380 K. [C(NH₂)₃]₂HgI₄ yielded four ¹²⁷I NQR lines ascribable to m = ±1/2 ? ±3/2 transitions, indicating that its crystal structure is different from the bromide complex. The ¹H NMR T ₁ measurements showed a single minimum for the bromide but two minima for the iodide. The analyses based on the C₃ reorientations of the planar [C(NH₂)₃]⁺ ions gave the activation energies of 29.8 kJ mol^?1 for the bromide, and 30.2 and 40.0 kJ mol^?1 for the iodide.     

Vibrational spectroscopic and force field studies of copper(II) chloride and bromide compounds,and crystal structure of KCuBr3

Vibrational spectroscopic and force field studies have been performed of 15 related copper(II) chloride and copper(II) bromide compounds, including hydrated salts crystallizing in ternary aqueous systems with alkali and ammonium halides. For halocuprates with distorted octahedral coordination characteristic stretching Raman wavenumbers, corresponding to symmetric stretching Cu^II X modes in the equatorial plane, were found in the ranges 247–288 cm⁻¹ for X = Cl, and 173–189 cm⁻¹ for X = Br, while the low‐wavenumber stretching modes for the weaker axial Cu X interactions varied considerably. The tetrahedral coordination for Cs₂CuCl₄ and Cs₂CuBr₄ leads to somewhat lower Cu X symmetric stretching wavenumbers, 295 and 173 cm⁻¹, respectively. The assignments of the copper–ligand stretching vibrations were performed with the aid of normal coordinate calculations. Correlations between force constants, averaged Cu X stretching wavenumbers and bond distances have been evaluated considering the following aspects: (1) Jahn–Teller tetragonal distortion (axial elongation) of the octahedral copper(II) coordination environment, (2) differences between terminal and bridging halide ligands (3) effects of coordinated water and the influence of outer‐sphere cations. Force constant ratios for terminal and bridging metal–halide bonds reveal characteristic differences between planar and tetrahedrally coordinated M₂X₆ species. In the hydrated copper(II) halide complexes, the halide ligands are more strongly bound than coordinated water molecules. The crystal structure of KCuBr₃ (K₂Cu₂Br₆), which was determined to provide structural information for the force field analyses, contains stacks of planar dimeric [Cu₂Br₆]²⁻ complexes held together by weak axial Cu Br interactions.

Emission Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of57Fe atoms produced in57Co-labelled trinuclear cobalt-iron halogenoacetate complexes

Mixed-valence states of⁵⁷Fe atoms produced after EC-decay of⁵⁷Co in a series of trinuclear cobalt-iron halogenoacetate complexes, [Co^IIFe ₂ ^III O(CH_3?nX_nCO₂)₆(H₂O)₃] (0≤n≤3, X=Cl, Br, and I), were studied by comparing the results obtained by emission Mössbauer spectroscopy with those observed in absorption Mössbauer spectra of analogous trinuclear iron complexes, [Fe^IIFe ₂ ^III O(CH_3?nX_nCO₂)₆(H₂O)₃]. Some of the emission Mössbauer spectra show a temperature-dependent mixed-valence state as found in the absorption Mössbauer spectra. Others show a somewhat different temperature dependence compared with the absorption Mössbauer spectra. The results were interpreted in terms of after-effects of the EC-decay.     

Infrared Spectrum of Dihydridobis(ethylenediamine) Osmium Tetrachloro Zincate

The ethylenediamine trmsition metal complexes^1-9 of the type M(en)₂X₂ (M = Co, Ni, Cu, Pd, Pt and × = I, Br, C1, NO³, C10⁴) have infrared spectra of complicated nature which have been used for the study of conformation of the chelate ring. In dihydrldobis ZnC14 ethylenediamlne transition metal complexes, the hydrogen bonding and the presence of ZnCl₄ further complicates the vibrational spectra. With a view to study this, the present study of dihydridobis (ethylenedianlne) osnlum tetrachloro zincate was carried out.     

Positron annihilation from excited states of [X-e+] systems

The relative probabilities for the radiative de-excitation 2p₊ → ls₊ versus 2γ-annihilation for the hdot; ns²np⁶2p₊, ²P state of the [X^-e⁺] system with X = F, Cl, Br, and I are presented. It is shown that a positron captured into a 2p₊ orbital undergoes annihilation with electrons of the system instead of radiative transition to the ground state of the [X^-e⁺] system.     

The Vibrational Spectra of Complexes with Planar Monothiooxamides. IV. The Copper(II) and Copper(I) Complexes of Neutral Monothiooxamides

The new complexes CuX₂(LH₂), CuX₂ (SH₃) (X = Cl, Br), CuX(LH₂), CuX(SH₃) (X = Cl, Br, I), CuX(H₄MTO)₂ (X = Cl, Br), Cul(H₄MTO) and CuX(H₃MMTO)₂ (X = Cl, Br, I), where LH₂ = N.N′-dimethyl-monothiooxamide, SH₃ = N(s)-methylmonothiooxamide, H₄MTO = monothiooxamide and H₃MMTO = N_(o)-methylmonothiooxamide, have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, magnetic moments and spectroscopic (UV/VIS, FT-IR, Laser-Raman) studies. The vibrational analysis of the complexes has been given using NH/ND, CH₃/CD₃ and ⁶³cu/⁶⁵cu isotopic substitutions. The neutral monothiooxamides behave as monodentate ligands in the Cu(I) complexes coordinating through their thioamide sulfur atom. The ligands LH2 and SH₃ act as bidentate chelating agents in the Cu(II) complexes with ligated atoms being the thioamide sulfur and the amide oxygen.     

Solid-State NMR Studies on Ionic <Emphasis Type="Italic">closo</Emphasis>-Dodecaborates

Alkali metal dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborates M₂[B₁₂H₁₂] (M = K, Rb, Cs, NH₄, N(CH₃)₄) and the perhalogenated cesium salts Cs₂[B₁₂X₁₂] (X = Cl, Br, I) are studied by solid-state ¹¹B nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry. The present work addresses the molecular dynamics of the anionic [B₁₂X₁₂]²⁻ icosahedra which is examined by variable-temperature ¹¹B NMR line shape studies between 120 and 370 K. Characteristic line shape effects are observed which strongly depend on the actual substituent X and the counterion M⁺. All alkali metal dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborates M₂ [B₁₂H₁₂] exhibit at elevated temperatures ¹¹B NMR spectra with a single isotropic line which proves the presence of an efficient molecular process, resulting in dynamic (rotational) disorder along with vanishing dipolar and quadrupolar interactions. The positional order of the boron clusters, however, remains unaffected, as shown by the XRD data. At lower temperatures, the underlying motions are frozen on the NMR timescale resulting in characteristic ¹¹B NMR spectra with a dominant homonuclear ¹¹B–¹¹B dipolar splitting. The per-halogenated cesium salts Cs₂[B₁₂X₁₂] behave differently. Hence, from the experimental ¹¹B NMR spectra at room temperature a substantial mobility is only seen for the [B₁₂Cl₁₂]²⁻ anion. Obviously, the degree of anion mobility depends on the size of the substituent X in the [B₁₂X₁₂]²⁻ clusters (X = H, Cl, Br, I). A quantitative analysis of the experimental ¹¹B NMR spectra of the alkali metal dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborates M₂ [B₁₂H₁₂] is achieved by line shape simulations, considering [B₁₂H₁₂]²⁻ ions undergoing reorientational jumps between icosahedral sites. From the motional correlation times the activation energies are derived. It is found that a correlation exists between the activation energies, the motional correlation times and the lattice constant. Hence, the activation energies and correlation times strongly increase with decreasing size of the cation M⁺, which reflects an increasing sterical hindrance due to a decreasing crystallo-graphic lattice constant in the same direction.

Solid state and sonochemical syntheses of nano lead(II) chloride and bromide coordination polymers from its nitrate analog via mechanochemical crystal to crystal transformations

Reversible crystal-to-crystal transformations of 3D lead(II) coordination polymers with the ligand 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene (4-bpdh), from nitrate analoge [Pb(4-bpdh)(NO₃)₂(H₂O)]_n (1) to [Pb(4-bpdh)(NO₃)(Br)]_n (2), [Pb(4-bpdh)(Br)₂]_n (3), [Pb(4-bpdh)(NO₃)(Cl)]_n (4) and [Pb(4-bpdh)(Cl)₂]_n (5) by solid state anion-replacement processes under mechanochemical reactions, have been studied. The reversible solid state structural transformations of compounds 1–5, by anion-replacement processes under mechanochemical reaction, have been verified by PXRD measurements. Nanoparticles of compounds were synthesized by sonochemical process and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The SEM images showed that morphology change occurs during solid state anion-replacements of nanocrystals.     

EPR Studies on the intermolecular interactions of bis(di-ethanol-dithiocarbamato) copper(II)

The interaction of the title complex, [Cu(EtOH-dtc)₂], with I₂, Br₂ and different metal salts known as electron acceptors is studied in water-ethanol solution. Mixed-ligand complexes Cu(EtOH-dtc)⁺…X^? (X = Cl, Br, I, NO₃) are formed with X^? in the second coordination sphere of the metal ion. Cu(EtOH-dtc)₂ interacts with chloral-hydrate only in the presence of weak Lewis bases and Cu(EtOH-dtc)⁺…Cl^? mixed-ligand complex is formed. The interactions with metal chelates cause the formation of mixed-ligand chelate complexes. Cu(EtOH-dtc)₂ interacts with H₂O₂ and the appearance of mixed-ligand complexes as intermediate products is detected. The final product obtained is CuSO₄. In the presence of O₂ Cu(EtOH-dtc)₂ yielded spectra similar to the above intermediate products. The proposed mechanisms of all studied reactions are discussed on the ground of the recorded spectra.     

Copper(I) Complexes of N-(2-{[(2E)-2-(4-Nitrobenzylidenyl)Hydrazinyl]Carbonyl}Phenyl)Benzamide and Triphenylphosphine: Synthesis,Characterization and Luminescence Properties

Copper(I) complexes of the formula [Cu(L)(PPh₃)₂]X (1–4) (X = Cl(1), ClO₄(2), BF₄(3) and PF₆(4)) [where L = N-(2-{[(2E)-2-(4-nitrobenzylidenyl)hydrazinyl]carbonyl}phenyl)benzamide; PPh₃ = triphenylphosphine] have been prepared by the condensation of N-[2-(hydrazinocarbonyl)phenyl]benzamide with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde followed by the reaction with CuCl, [Cu(MeCN)₄]ClO₄, [Cu(MeCN)₄]BF₄ and [Cu(MeCN)₄]PF₆ in presence of triphenylphosphine as a coligand. Complexes 1–4 were then characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR, UV-visible and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Mononuclear copper(I) complexes 1–4 were formed with L in its keto form by involvement of azomethine nitrogen and the carbonyl oxygen along with two PPh₃ groups. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the representative complex [(Cu(L)(PPh₃)₂]CIO₄ (2) reveals a distorted tetrahedral geometry around Cu(I). Crystal data of (2): space group = C2/c, a = 42.8596 (9) Å, b = 14.6207 (3) Å, c = 36.4643 (7) Å, V = 20,653.7 (7) ų, Z = 16. Complexes 1–4 exhibit quasireversible redox behaviour corresponding to a Cu(I)/Cu(II) couple. All complexes show blue-green emission as a result of fluorescence from an intra-ligand charge transition (ILCT), ligand to ligand charge transfer transition (LLCT) or mixture of both. Significant increase in size of the counter anion shows marked effect on quantum efficiency and lifetime of the complexes in solution.     

Electron paramagnetic resonance and spin-lattice relaxation in two-dimensional systems

The anisotropies of the EPR linewidth andg-factor were investigated in two-dimensional molecular composites of the type [NH₃?R?NH₃]MX₄. Measurements were performed both in single crystals and powders over the temperature range 4.2–290 K. The spin-lattice relaxation timeT ₁ was measured using the modulation method, as a function of temperature. The samples exhibit different structures and coupling interactions, according to the nature of the halogen X, the metal M and the organic radical R. We have analysed the influence of these parameters on spin behavior by studying the samples [NH₃?(CH) _n ?NH₃]MX₄ with M=Mn, Cu; X=Cl, Br, andn=2, 3, 4, 5. When R is constituted by molecules with unsaturated bonds, these materials can be considered as excellent matrices for selective polymerisation reactions by irradiation or thermal processing. We have performed EPR measurements on the heated complex of propargylamine and cadmium chloride [HC∈C?CH₂?NH₃]₂CdCl₄. The obtained data are interpreted taking into account the strong exchange interaction and the various coupling interactions in the samples. The thermal dependences ofT ₁ are explained by means of the Bloembergen and Wang three-reservoir model. The data whow spin diffusion when the metal is manganese, and an antisymmetric exchange interaction modulated by phonons in the case of copper. The nature of the halogen plays an important role in spin dynamics and namely in spin-lattice relaxation. The results obtained on [HC∈C?CH₂?NH₃]₂CdCl₄ after heating under vaccum show the creation of many paramagnetic centers due to the vanishing of triple bonds and the occurrence of a strong exchange interaction.     

The universality of the electron spin relaxation in C60 mono radical anion salts: EPR studies of the model system [P(C6H5)4]2C60X

The C₆₀ radical anion salts [P(C₆H₅)₄]₂C₆₀X (X=Cl, Br, I) are grown via electrocrystallization and used as a model system to study the electron spin and nuclear spin dynamics as well as the molecular dynamics of C₆₀ mono anions in the solid state, which obey universal laws. It is shown that [P(C₆H₅)₄]₂C₆₀X is an exception among the fullerides, since the temperature dependence of the JT distortion, predicted for ionic C₆₀, can be deduced.
