Bi-, tetra-, and hexanuclear AuI and binuclear AgI complexes and AgI coordination polymers containing phenylaminobis(phosphonite), PhN{P(OC6H4OMe-o)2}2, and pyridyl ligands

The reactions of phenylaminobis(phosphonite), PhN{P(OC6H4OMe-o)2}2 (1) (PNP), with [AuCl(SMe2)] in appropriate ratios, afford the bi- and mononuclear complexes, [(AuCl)2(micro-PNP)] (2) and [(AuCl)(PNP)]2 (3) in good yield. Treatment of 2 with 2 equiv of AgX (X = OTf or ClO4) followed by the addition of 1 or 2,2'-bipyridine affords [Au2(micro-PNP)2](OTf)2 (4) and [Au2(C10H8N2)2(micro-PNP)](ClO4)2 (5), respectively. Similarly, the macrocycles [Au4(C4H4N2)2(micro-PNP)2](ClO4)4 (6), [Au4(C10H8N2)2(micro-PNP)2](ClO4)4 (7), and [Au6(C3H3N3)2(micro-PNP)3](ClO4)6 (8) are obtained by treating 2 with pyrazine, 4,4'-bipyridine, or 1,3,5-triazine in the presence of AgClO 4. The reaction of 1 with AgOTf in a 1:2 molar ratio produces [Ag2(micro-OTf)2(micro-PNP)] (9). The displacement of triflate ions in 9 by 1 leads to a disubstituted derivative, [Ag2(micro-PNP)3](OTf)2 (10). The equimolar reaction of 1 with AgClO4 in THF affords [Ag2(C4H8O)2(micro-PNP)2](ClO4)2 (11). Treatment of 1 with AgClO4 followed by the addition of 2,2'-bipyridine affords a discrete binuclear complex, [Ag2(C10H8N2)2(micro-PNP)](ClO4)2 (12), whereas similar reactions with 4,4'-bipyridine or pyrazine produce one-dimensional zigzag Ag (I) coordination polymers, [Ag2(C10H8N2)(micro-ClO4)(ClO4)(micro-PNP)]n (13) and [Ag2(C4H4N2)(micro-ClO4)(ClO4)(micro-PNP)]n (14) in good yield. The nature of metal-metal interactions in compounds 2, 4, 5, and 12 was analyzed theoretically by performing HF and CC calculations. The structures of the complexes 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, and 14 are confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

New tetraphosphane ligands {(X2P)2NC6H4N(PX2)2} (X = Cl, F,OMe, OC6H4OMe-o): synthesis, derivatization, group 10 and 11 metal complexes and catalytic investigations. DFT calculations on intermolecular P...P interactions in halo-phosphines

The reaction of p-phenylenediamine with excess PCl 3 in the presence of pyridine affords p-C 6H 4[N(PCl 2) 2] 2 ( 1) in good yield. Fluorination of 1 with SbF 3 produces p-C 6H 4[N(PF 2) 2] 2 ( 2). The aminotetra(phosphonites) p-C 6H 4[N{P(OC 6H 4OMe- o) 2} 2] 2 ( 3) and p-C 6H 4[N{P(OMe) 2} 2] 2 ( 4) have been prepared by reacting 1 with appropriate amount of 2-(methoxy)phenol or methanol, respectively, in the presence of triethylamine. The reactions of 3 and 4 with H 2O 2, elemental sulfur, or selenium afforded the tetrachalcogenides, p-C 6H 4[N{P(O)(OC 6H 4OMe- o) 2} 2] 2 ( 5), p-C 6H 4[N{P(S)(OMe) 2} 2] 2 ( 6), and p-C 6H 4[N{P(Se)(OMe) 2} 2] 2 ( 7) in good yield. Reactions of 3 with [M(COD)Cl 2] (M = Pd or Pt) (COD = cycloocta-1,5-diene) resulted in the formation of the chelate complexes, [M 2Cl 4- p-C 6H 4{N{P(OC 6H 4OMe- o) 2} 2} 2] ( 8, M = Pd and 9, M = Pt). The reactions of 3 with 4 equiv of CuX (X = Br and I) produce the tetranuclear complexes, [Cu 4(mu 2-X) 4(NCCH 3) 4- p-C 6H 4{N(P(OC 6H 4OMe- o) 2) 2} 2] ( 10, X = Br; 11, X = I). The molecular structures of 1- 3, 6, 7, and 9- 11 are confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The weak intermolecular P...P interactions observed in 1 leads to the formation of a 2D sheetlike structure, which is also examined by DFT calculations. The catalytic activity of the Pd(II) 8 has been investigated in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.     

New copper(I) isocyanide complexes containing other donor ligands

The preparation and physical properties of some new copper (I) isocyanide complexes containing other neutral donor ligands such as Ph₃P, pyridine(Py), 1,10- phenanthroline (Phen), bipyridine (Bipy), or 1,2-bis(diphhenylphosphino)ethane (Dipphos) are described. Possible structures for these new complexes, in the solid state and in solution, are discussed.     

Der erste Metallkomplex mit neutralem 1,2-Bis(phenyltriazeno)benzol als Ligand: Synthese und Struktur von [Cd{PhN3(H)C6H4N3(H)Ph}{PhN3C6H4N3(H)Ph}2]

The First Metal Complex with Neutral 1,2-Bis(phenyltriazeno)-benzene as Ligand: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cd{PhN₃(H)C₆H₄N₃(H)Ph}{PhN₃C₆H₄N₃(H)Ph}₂] [Cd{PhN₃(H)C₆H₄N₃(H)Ph}{PhN₃C₆H₄N₃(H)Ph}₂] is obtained in aqueous ammonia by the reaction of CdSO₄ with an excess of 1,2-bis(phenyltriazeno)benzene. It forms orange red, air stable prismatic crystals with the monoclinic space group P2₁/c and a = 1217.7(2); b = 2161.8(6); c = 2008.3(5) pm; β = 100.07(6)º; Z = 4. The compound is composed of mononuclear complexes in which the Cd atom is coordinated by one chelating bis(phenyltriazeno)benzene and two monodentate 1-phenyltriazenido-2-phenyltriazeno benzene anions in a distorted tetrahedral arrangement. The Cd—N distances are in the range of 220.7 to 239.7 pm.     

Synthesis and derivatization, structures and transition metal (Mo(0), Fe(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II)) complexes of phenylaminobis(diphosphonite), PhN{P(OC6H4OMe-o)2}2

The synthesis, derivatization and coordination behavior of a new aminobis(diphosphonite), PhN{P(OC₆H₄OMe-o)₂}₂ (1) is described. The ligand 1 reacts with H₂O₂, elemental sulfur or selenium to give the corresponding dichalcogenides PhN{P(E)(OC₆H₄OMe-o)₂}₂ (E = O, 2; S, 3; Se, 4) in good yield. Reactions of 1 with Mo(CO)₆, Pd(NCCH₃)₂Cl₂ and Pt(COD)Cl₂ resulted in the formation of the chelate complexes, Mo(CO)₄[PhN{P(OC₆H₄OMe-o)₂}₂] (5) and MCl₂[PhN{P(OC₆H₄OMe-o)₂}₂] (M = Pd,7; M = Pt, 8) whereas in the reaction of 1 with [CpFe(CO)₂]₂, one of the P-N bonds cleaves due to the metal assisted hydrolysis to give a mononuclear complex, [CpFe(CO){P(O)(OC₆H₄OMe-o)₂}{PhN(H)(P(OC₆H₄OMe-o)₂)}] (6). The molecular structures of 1, 4, 5 and 6 are determined by X-ray studies.     

Synthesis of homoleptic tris(organo-chelate)iridium(III) complexes by spontaneous ortho-metallation of electronrich olefin-derived N,N′-diarylcarbene ligands and the X-ray structures of fac-[Ir{CN(C6H4Me-p) (CH2)2NC6H3Me-p}3] and mer-Ir{CN(C6H4Me-p)(CH2)2NC6H3Me-p}2 {CN(C6H4Me-p)(CH2)2NC6H4Me-p}Cl (a product of HCl cleavage)

Treatment of [{Ir(COD)(μ-Cl)}₂] with excess of the electron-rich olefin [$\text{CN(Ar)(CH}{}_2\text{)}{}_2\text{N}$Ar]₂ (abbreviated as (L^Ar)₂, Ar = C₆H₄Me-p or C₆H₄OMe-p) affords the ortho-metallated tricycle [$\text{Ir(L}{}^{\mathrm{A}}\text{r}$)₃], which for Ar = C₆H₄Me-p (Ia) with HCL yields [$\text{Ir(L}{}^{\mathrm{A}}\text{r}$)₂(L^Ar)]Cl (IV); X-ray data show that in IV there is an unexpectedly close Ir?C(o-aryl) contact (2;52(1) Å) involving the “free” L^Ar which compares with an IrC(o-aryl) distance of 2.09(3) Å in Ia or 2.07(3) Å in the ortho-metallated L^Ar ligand of complex IV.     

Copper(I) coordination polymers [{Cu(mu-X)}2{RP(mu-NtBu)}2]n (R = OC6H4OMe-o; X = Cl, Br, and I) and their reversible conversion into mononuclear complexes [CuX{(RP(mu-NtBu)2}2]: synthesis and structural characterization

The reactions of cyclodiphosphazane cis-[tBuNP(OC6H4OMe-o)]2 (1) with 2 equiv of CuX in acetonitrile afforded one-dimensional Cu(I) coordination polymers [Cu2X2{tBuNP(OC6H4OMe-o)}2]n (2, X = Cl; 3, X = Br; 4, X = I). The crystal structures of 2 and 4 reveal a zigzag arrangement of [P(mu-N)(2)P] and [Cu(mu-X)(2)Cu] units in an alternating manner to form one-dimensional Cu(I) coordination polymers. The reaction between 1 and CuX in a 2:1 ratio afforded mononuclear tricoordinated copper(I) complexes of the type [CuX{(tBuNP(OC6H4OMe-o))2}2] (5, X = Cl; 6, X = Br; 7, X = I). The single-crystal structures were established for the mononuclear copper(I) complexes 5 and 6. When the reactant ratios are 1:1, the formation of a mixture of polymeric and mononuclear products was observed. The Cu(I) polymers (2-4) were converted into the mononuclear complexes (5-7) by reacting with 3 equiv of 1 in dimethyl sulfoxide. Similarly, the mononuclear complexes (5-7) were converted into the corresponding polymeric complexes (2-4) by reacting with 3 equiv of copper(I) halide under mild reaction conditions.     

Linear and cyclic tetranuclear copper(I) complexes containing anions of N,N'-bis(pyrimidine-2-yl)formamidine

The reaction of Kpmf (pmf = anion of N,N[prime or minute]-bis(pyrimidyl-2-yl)formamidine, Hpmf) with CuSCN afforded the complexes K[Cu4(pmF)3(SCN)2], 1, and Cu(4)(pmf)4, 2. Reaction of 1 with [(n-Bu)4N]PF6 in THF gave the complex [(n-Bu)4N][Cu4(pmf)3(SCN)2], 3. Their structures were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complexes 1 and 3 are the first linear tetranuclear complexes containing only Cu(I) atoms, while complex 2 is cyclic. The four Cu(I) atoms of complexes 1 and 3 are helically bridged by three tetradentate pmf- ligands. The [Cu4(pmf)3(SCN)2]- anions of 1 show weak interactions with adjacent [K(THF)5]+ cations through the sulfur atoms, forming infinite chains which are subjected to a series of intermolecular pi-pi interactions. In complex 2, the pmf- ligands are coordinated to the copper atoms in bidentate fashion through the two central amine nitrogen atoms, leaving the pyrimidine nitrogen atoms uncoordinated. Unexpected fluxional behaviors were observed for complexes 1 and 3 in solution. By the DNMR analysis, the free energy of activation (DeltaGc(not equal)) for the exchange is 12.8 kcal mol(-1) at 278 K (T(c)), and the rate constant of exchange (K(c)) is 470 s(-1) for 1. The DeltaGc(not equal) and Kc are 12.6 kcal mol(-1) at 273 K and 433 s(-1), respectively, for 3.     

Synthesis and reactivity of copper(I) complexes containing a bis(imidazolin-2-imine) pincer ligand

The new pincer ligand 2,6-bis[(1,3-di-tert-butylimidazolin-2-imino)methyl]pyridine (TL(tBu)) has been prepared in high yield from 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (1) and 1,3-di-tert-butylimidazolin-2-imine (3). Reaction of TL(tBu) with [Cu(MeCN)4]PF6 affords the highly reactive copper(I) complex [(TL(tBu))Cu]PF6, [5]PF6, which forms the stable copper(I) isocyanide complexes [6a]PF6 (nu(CN) = 2179 cm(-1)) and [6b]PF6 (nu(CN) = 2140 cm(-1)) upon addition of tert-butyl or 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide, respectively. For the cations 6a and 6b, DFT calculations reveal ground-state electronic structures of the type [(TL(tBu)-kappaN(1):kappaN(2))Cu(CNR)] with tricoordinate geometries around the copper atoms. Exposure of [5]PF6 to the air readily leads to trapping of atmospheric CO2 to form the square-planar complex [(TL(tBu))Cu(HCO3-kappaO)]PF6, [7]PF6, with the bicarbonate ligand adopting a rarely observed monodentate coordination mode. In chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane or chloroform, [5]PF(6) rapidly abstracts chloride by reductive dechlorination of the solvent to yield [(TL(tBu))CuCl]PF6, [8]PF6 quantitatively. Reaction of TL(tBu) with copper(I) bromide or chloride affords complexes 9a and 9b, respectively, for which X-ray diffraction analysis, low-temperature NMR experiments and DFT calculations reveal the presence of a kappa(2)-coordinated ligand of the type [(TL(tBu)-kappaN(1):kappaN(2))CuX]. In solution, complex 9b undergoes slow disproportionation forming the mixed-valence copper(II)/copper(I) system [(TL(tBu))CuCl][CuCl2], [8]CuCl2 with a linear dichlorocuprate(I) counterion.     

Photophysical properties of copper(I) and zinc(II) complexes containing phosphinoquinoline ligands

Several copper(I) and zinc(II) complexes with 8-(diphenylphosphino)quinoline (PPh₂qn) or 8-diphenylphosphinoquinaldine (PPh₂qna) have been prepared. These ligands contain both imine and phosphine moieties, which can act as coordinating groups. X-ray analysis of the Cu(I) complexes reveals that [Cu(PPh₂qn)₂]PF₆ (Cu-1) and [Cu(PPh₂qn)₂]PF₆ (Cu-2), coordinated by two PPh₂qn and PPh₂qna ligands respectively, are obtained. In the Zn(II) complexes, a structural study shows that [ZnCl₂(PPh₂qn)] (Zn-1), [ZnBr₂(PPh₂qn)] (Zn-2) and [ZnI₂(PPh₂qn)] (Zn-3) are coordinated by one PPh₂qn ligand and two of the corresponding halogeno ligands (Cl⁻, Br⁻ and I⁻). In the solid state Cu-1 and Cu-2 show luminescence which is assigned to a ³MLCT transition involving π∗ of the quinoline group, as shown in the [Cu(dmp)(diphosphine)]⁺ complexes; due to the reduced bulkiness of the coordination sphere around the copper atom, no emission is observed in solution. Zn-1 shows a similar emission band to that of free PPh₂qn at both room temperature and 77 K. It suggests the emission bands should be assigned to a ligand-centered (LC) transition. In the solid state, it is found that the emissive energy of the complexes shift to lower energy and the energy depends on the halogeno ligands in the zinc complexes.     

Synthesis of 1D {Cu6(mu3-SC3H6N2)4(mu-SC3H6N2)2(mu-I)2I4}n and 3D {Cu2(mu-SC3H6N2)2(mu-SCN)2}n polymers with 1,3-imidazolidine-2-thione: bond isomerism in polymers

The reaction of copper(I) iodide with 1, 3-imidazolidine-2-thione (SC3H6N2) in a 1:2 molar ratio (M/L) has formed unusual 1D polymers, {Cu6(mu3-SC3H6N2)4(mu-SC3H6N2)2(mu-I)2I4}n (1) and {Cu6(mu3-SC3H6N2)2(mu-SC3H6N2)4(mu-I)4I2}n (1a). A similar reaction with copper(I) bromide has formed a polymer {Cu6(mu3-SC3H6N2)2(mu-SC3H6N2)4(mu-Br)4Br2}n (3a), similar to 1a, along with a dimer, {Cu2(mu-SC3H6N2)2(eta1-SC3H6N2)2Br2} (3). Copper(I) chloride behaved differently, and only an unsymmetrical dimer, {Cu2(mu-SC3H6N2)(eta1-SC3H6N2)3Cl2} (4), was formed. Finally, reactions of copper(I) thiocyanate in 1:1 or 1:2 molar ratios yielded a 3D polymer, {Cu2(mu-SC3H6N2)2(mu-SCN)2}n (2). Crystal data: 1, C9H18Cu3I3N6S3, triclinic, P, a = 9.6646(11) A, b = 10.5520(13) A, c = 12.6177(15) A, alpha = 107.239(2) degrees , beta = 99.844(2) degrees , gamma = 113.682(2) degrees , V = 1061.8(2) A(3), Z = 2, R = 0.0333; 2, C(4)H(6)CuN(3)S(2), monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 7.864(3) A, b = 14.328(6) A, c = 6.737(2) A, beta = 100.07(3) degrees , V = 747.4(5), Z = 4, R = 0.0363; 3, C12H24Br2Cu2N8S4, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 19.420(7) A, b = 7.686(3) A, c = 16.706(6) A, beta = 115.844(6) degrees , V = 2244.1(14) A(3), Z = 4, R = 0.0228; 4, C12H24Cl2Cu2N8S4, monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 7.4500(6) A, b = 18.4965(15) A, c = 16.2131(14) A, beta = 95.036(2) degrees , V = 2225.5(3) A(3), Z = 4, R = 0.0392. The 3D polymer 2 exhibits 20-membered metallacyclic rings in its structure, while synthesis of linear polymers, 1 and 1a, represents an unusual example of I (1a)-S (1) bond isomerism.     

The electron-poor phosphines P{C6H3(CF3)2-3,5}3 and P(C6F5)3 do not mimic phosphites as ligands for hydroformylation. A comparison of the coordination chemistry of P{C6H3(CF3)2-3,5}3 and P(C6F5)3 and the unexpectedly low hydroformylation activity of their rhodium complexes

The fluoroaryl phosphines P{C6H3(CF3)2-3,5}3 (La) and P(C6F5)3 (Lb) form the complexes trans-[MCl2(La)2] and trans-[MCl2(Lb)2](M = Pd or Pt) which have been isolated and fully characterised. 31P NMR studies of competition experiments show that the stability of trans-[PdCl2L2] is in the order L = Lb< La 相似文献   

Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of rhodium(I) acetylacetonato complexes containing pyridinecarboxaldimine ligands

Addition of o-C 6H 4NCHNAr to Rh(coe) 2(acac) (coe = cis-cyclooctene, acac = acetylacetonato) gave several new iminopyridine rhodium(I) complexes of the type Rh(acac)(kappa (2)- o-C 6H 4 NCH NAr) ( 1a Ar = 4-C 6H 4-OMe; 1b Ar = 2,6-C 6H 3-Me 2; 1c Ar = 2,6-C 6H 3-Et 2; 1d Ar = 2,6-C 6H 3- i-Pr 2). All new rhodium complexes have been characterized by a number of physical methods, including multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies for 1b and 1c. Addition of CHCl 3 to 1a afforded the corresponding rhodium(III) complex trans-Rh(kappa (2)- o-C 6H 4 NCH NAr)(CHCl 2)(Cl)(acac) ( 2). Addition of B 2cat 3 (cat = 1,2-O 2C 6H 4) to 1 gave zwitterionic Rh(eta (6)-catBcat)(kappa (2)- o-C 6H 4 NCH NAr) ( 3). The molecular structure of 3b has been confirmed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study and shows that the N 2Rh fragment is bound to the catBcat anion via one of the catecholato groups in a eta (6)-fashion. These complexes have also been examined for their ability to catalyze the hydroboration of a series of vinylarenes. Reactions using catecholborane and pinacolborane seem to proceed largely through a dehydrogenative borylation mechanism to give a number of boronated products.     

Copper(I) and copper(II) complexes possessing cross-linked imidazole-phenol ligands: structures and dioxygen reactivity

Catalytic reduction of O2 to H2O, and coupling to membrane proton translocation, occurs at the heterobinuclear heme a3-CuB active site of cytochrome c oxidase. One of the CuB ligated histidines is cross-linked to a neighboring tyrosine (C-N bond; tyrosine C6 and histidine epsilon-nitrogen), and the protic residue of this cross-linked His-Tyr moiety is proposed to participate as both an electron and a proton donor in the catalytic dioxygen reduction event. To provide insight into the chemistry of such a moiety, we have synthesized and characterized tetra- and tridentate pyridylalkylamine chelate ligands {LN4OR and LN3OR (R = H or Me)}, which include an imidazole-phenol (or anisole) cross-link and their copper(I/II) complexes. [CuI(LN4OH)]B(C6F5)4 (1) reacts with dioxygen at -80 degrees C in THF, forming an unstable trans-mu-1,2-peroxodicopper(II)complex, which subsequently converts to a dimeric copper(II)-phenolate complex [{Cu(LN4O-)}2](B(C6F5)4)2 (5a). The close analogue [CuI(LN4OMe)]B(C6F5)4 (3) binds dioxygen reversibly at -80 degrees C in tetrahydrofuran. Stopped-flow kinetics of the reaction [CuI(LN3OH)]ClO4 (2) with O2 in CH2Cl2 indicate a steady formation of the purple dimeric product [{Cu(LN3O-)}2](ClO4)2 (5b), which has been analyzed in the temperature range from -40 to +20 degrees C, DeltaH = -9.6 (6) kJ mol-1, DeltaS = -168 (2) J mol-1 K-1 (k(-40 degrees C) = 1.05(4) x 106 and k(+20 degrees C) = 4.6(2) x 105 M-2 s-1). The X-ray crystal structures of 1, [CuII(LN3OH)(MeOH)(OClO3-)](ClO4) (4), 5a, and 5b are reported.     

Four- and five-coordinate copper(II) complexes containing mixed ligands

New copper(II) complexes of general formula, Cu(ONS)B (ONS = the di-negatively charged Schiff base, S-benzyl-β-N-(2-hydroxyphenyl) methylendithiocarbazate; B = pyridine, 2,2′-dipyridyl or 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterised by magnetic and spectroscopic measurements. The complex, Cu(ONS)py is four-coordinate and square-planar. Magnetic and spectroscopic data support a five-coordinate, presumably, a trigonal-bipyramidal structure for the [Cu(ONS)dipy] and (Cu(ONS)phen] complexes
