Indolyl Phosphine Nickel(II) Fluorido Complexes: Synthesis and Intermediates in Suzuki–Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions

The C−F bond activation of pentafluoropyridine and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine at [Ni(cod)₂] (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene) in the presence of the phosphine PPh₂(Ind) (Ind=3-methyl-2-indolyl) led to the formation of the nickel(II) fluorido bis(phosphine) complexes trans-[Ni(F)(2-C₅NF₄){PPh₂(Ind)}₂] and trans-[Ni(F)(2-C₅HNF₃){PPh₂(Ind)}₂]. The complexes are characterized by the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the NH group of the phosphine ligands and the fluorido ligand. Stochiometric model reactions of nickel(II) fluorido complexes with PhB(OH)₂ revealed that the former can be considered as intermediates in Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reactions. Catalytic experiments were attempted using 10 mol-% of trans-[Ni(F)(2-C₅NF₄){PPh₂(Ind)}₂] as catalyst and the activities of the PPh₂(Ind) complex were compared to the ones of an analogous nickel(II) fluorido complex, bearing PPh₃ instead of PPh₂(Ind) as ligands. The latter exhibited a somewhat lower catalytic activity suggesting a slight influence of the H-bonds in the outer coordination sphere.

Complex 2 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a = 14.807(11), b = 13.118(10), c = 16.663(13) ?, β = 111.237(14)°, V = 3017(4) ?3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.342 g/cm~3, F(000) = 1276 and μ = 0.477 mm-1. The units of complex 1 are linked by intermolecular N–H···π hydrogen bonds into infinite 1D chains, which are further extended into a 3D supramolecular structure by a series of π···π stacking interactions. The units of complex 2 are linked by intermolecular N–H···π hydrogen bonds and C–H···π hydrogen bonds into an infinite 3D supramolecular structure. Meanwhile, the antibacterial activities of the ligand and its complexes have been tested against four kinds of bacteria. The results show that the three compounds all have excellent antibacterial activities and that 1 and 2 possess stronger inhibiting effects against the bacteria than the Schiff base.

Inversion Symmetry Breaking in Order–Disorder Transitions of Globular Ligands Coordinating to Cobalt(II) and Nickel(II) Bisacetylacetonato Complexes During Heating

Unexpected inversion-symmetry breaking was observed in the order–disorder phase transitions of [M(acac)₂(abco)₂] ( 1 ; M=Co²⁺, 2 ; Ni²⁺, acac⁻=2,4-pentanedionato, abco=1-azabicyclo-[2.2.2]-octane=quinuclidine) during heating. The isostructural, transition-free complexes [M(acac)₂(cabco)₂] ( 3 ; M=Co²⁺, 4 ; Ni²⁺, cabco=3-chloro-1-azabicyclo-[2.2.2]-octane=3-chloroquinuclidine) were also studied for comparison. Complexes 1 and 2 crystallized in ordered phases in the centrosymmetric I2/m space group at 100 K, whereas they crystallized in disordered phases in the non-symmetric I2 space group at 300 K. The 60° step rotation disordering of the abco ligands was observed in the electron density maps of 1 and 2 , which was consistent with the transition enthalpies estimated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Gradual phase transitions were observed for 1 and 2 by DSC and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) at approximately 225 K. The inversion-symmetry disordering was likely induced by the local pseudo-symmetry of the abco ligands, increasing from trigonal to hexagonal and the increased steric repulsion pathways among them.     

The High-spin↔Low-spin Equilibrium of Iron(Ⅱ) Complexes with Schiff Base Ligand:Optical,Magnetic and Spectroscopic Properties

Spin transition compounds are of great interest because of their potential application in molecular based electronic devices such as optical memoty and switch, display and data record^[1]. The occurrence of iron(Ⅱ) spin crossover systems depends on the ligand field strength. Iron(Ⅱ) spin crossover compounds mainly have sixfold nitrogen coordination and the range of lODq is very narrow:10Dq^HS≈11500-12500 cm^-1 and 10Dq^LS≈19000-21000 cm^-1[2]. The sensitivity of the spin state to small perturbations suggests that new coordination complexes exhibiting spin transition phenomena could be designed through a fine tuning of the ligands surrounding the metal. The derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole have been found to generate an intermediate ligand field force and the iron(Ⅱ) compounds containing such ligands which yielded spin-crossover materials exhibiting cooperative behavior have been reported recently^[3]. In this paper we present two new iron(Ⅱ) compounds FeL₃(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O (1) and FeL₃(BF₄)₂·3H₂O (2),where L is the Schiff base ligand derived from 4-amino-l,2,4-triazole and benzaldehyde. The compounds appear as white (HS) powders at room temperature and the color changes to pink (LS) upon decreasing the temperature to liquid nitrogen. 1 and 2 are investigated by the optical setup (520 nm, 293-77 K), ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer Spectroscopy (293-77 K) and magnetic susceptibility (293-4 K). The HS→LS and LS→HS transitions were observed at Tc↓=135 K (1) and 169 K (2), and Tc↑=150 K (1) and 180 K (2), respectively. The thermal hysteresis is found to be 15 K and 11 K for 1 and 2. The area fractions are calculated to be 57% for 1 and 43% for 2. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data were fitted to magnetic susceptibility equations derived from domain model, two level Ising-type model and regular solution model. The calculated variations of enthalpy and entropy of the compounds fall within the limits ΔH≈8.1-10.9 kJ·mol^-1 and ΔS≈47-61 J·K^-1·mol^-1 found for mononuclear iron(Ⅱ) spin transition compounds from calorimetric measurements. The cooperativity parameter y determines the occurrence of hysteresis.

In the molecular structure of 1, the NiII atoms are six-coordinated by two N and two O atoms from two Schiff base ligands (L1) and two N atoms from two pyridine solvent molecules to form a distorted octahedral geometry. The cytotoxic activities of complex 1 have been experimentally studied against a human HeLa cell in vitro.     

Xylan-type hemicelluloses supported terpyridine–palladium(II) complex as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction

Xylan-type hemicelluloses supported terpyridine–palladium(II) as a novel biomass-supported catalyst was synthesized and characterized in terms of morphology, composition, and thermal stability. The nano-Pd catalyst was further explored for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction between arylboronic acid and aryl halide under aerobic condition, with a yield up to 98 %. In particular, the catalyst exhibited both high catalytic activity and stability for Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. Furthermore, the catalyst could be easily recovered by simple filtration and reused at least six times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. This work provides a novel and effective supported catalyst, and broadens the applications of polysaccharides in green catalysis.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Electrochemistry Properties of a Cobalt(Ⅱ) Complex Based on Asymmetry Schiff Base Ligand

A new cobalt(II) complex [Co(NO2-salen)2]·1.5H2O containing mono acetalization Schiff base ligand(NO2-salen = N-5-nitro-salicylideneamino ethanato) has been prepared through one-pot template condensation, and has been structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and X-ray diffraction. It is formulated as C18H23CoN6O7.5, crystallizes in the hexagonal system, space group of R-3c with α = 25.895(18), b = 25.895(18), c = 35.075(6), γ = 120o, V = 20368(3) and Z = 36. The ligand of 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde-ethylene-diamine takes unusual mono asymmetry mode. The Co(II) ion exhibits a coordination number of six, and assumes a distorted octahedral geometry with a N2O4 donor set. The neutral monomeric units of [Co(NO2-salen)2]·1.5H2O are linked into a one-dimensional(1D) structure via the intermolecular hydrogen bonds and weak π-π stacking interactions. Cyclic-voltammetry measurement reveals the oxidation and reduction processes for the complex are irreversible in nature.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Potassium Hydro(benzoyl)(phthalyl)borate and Its Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), and Copper(II) Complexes

A new organoborate ligand, hydro(benzoyl)(phthalyl)borate has been synthesized as its potassium salt (KL) and treatment of KL with one equivalent of MCl2•6H2O gave complexes ML(H2O)x•Cl [x＝2, M＝Co(II), Ni(II); x＝1, M＝Cu(II)]. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H NMR, ESI MS, UV-Vis techniques, conductivity and magnetic data measurements. Spectroscopic results suggest a square planar geometry in the Cu(II) complex, while the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes possess an octahedral geometry. Antibacterial activities (in vitro) of the ligand and its metal complexes were studied against two Gram positive (B. subtillis and B. magterium) and two Gram negative bacteria (E. Coli and S. boydi) at a single concentration (75 μg/mL) by using the Disc diffusion method. Antifungal activities (in vitro) were also checked for the compounds by using the same method against Candida albicans 10261, Penicillium sp. and Asperjillius niger., at a single concentration (50 μg/mL). The results showed that all the metal complexes, specially the nickel(II) complex, have higher antibacterial and antifungal activities than the corresponding potassium salt.
