Exchange interactions in some binuclear iron(III)complexes studied by EPR

The binuclear iron(III) complexes have been the subject of widespread study^1–8, mainly by use of magnetic susceptibility measurements, because of their unusual magnetic properties. Among dimeric iron compounds, especially interesting features are exhibited by complexes containing an Fe-O-Fe bridge.The oxygen bridge is not confined only to dimeric iron compounds^8–10, and thus EPR has been applied to the problem of recognizing such structures and the role of iron in bridge systems. One example of this is the attempt¹¹ to recognize complexes of Fe^III with HEDTA¹, and the quintet state spectrum was obtained. The spin Hamiltonian parameter values D and E were not calculated precisely, because of the lack of data relating to resonance field angular dependence.     

Coordination chemistry of Rh(III) porphyrins: complexes with hydrazine, disulfide, and diselenide bridging ligands

Rh(III) porphyrin complexes with bridging hydrazine and substituted hydrazine ligands were characterized in solution by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray diffraction. Addition of further ligand to these species afforded 1:1 complexes in which methylhydrazine and N,N-dimethylhydrazine preferentially bound to the Rh center through the substituted nitrogen atom, as evidenced by (1)H NMR chemical shifts. An alkylated Rh(III) porphyrin was isolated as a decomposition product of the reaction of N,N-dimethylhydrazine with Rh(III) porphyrin in the presence of light and oxygen. Me(2)Se(2) and Me(2)S(2) formed bridging and nonbridging complexes with Rh(III) porphyrin, analogous to that observed with N,N'-dimethylhydrazine.     

Gaseous iron(II) and iron(III) complexes with BINOLate ligands

Electrospray ionization (ESI) of dilute solutions of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) and iron(II) or iron(III) sulfate in methanol/water allows the generation of monocationic complexes of iron and deprotonated BINOL ligands with additional methanol molecules in the coordination sphere, and the types of complexes formed can be controlled by the valence of the iron precursors used in ESI. Thus, iron(II) sulfate leads to [(BINOLate)Fe(CH3OH)n]+ complexes (n=0-3), whereas usage of iron(III) sulfate allows the generation of [(BINOLdiate)-Fe(CH3OH)n]+ cations (n=0-2); here, BINOLate and BINOLdiate stand for singly and doubly deprotonated BINOL, respectively. Upon collision-induced dissociation, the mass-selected ions with n>0 first lose the methanol ligands and then undergo characteristic fragmentations. Bare [(BINOLdiate)Fe]+, a formal iron(III) species, undergoes decarbonylation, which is known as a typical fragmentation of ionized phenols and phenolates either as free species or as the corresponding metal complexes. The bare [(BINOLate)Fe]+ cation, on the other hand, preferentially loses neutral FeOH to afford an organic C20H12O+* cation radical, which most likely corresponds to ionized 1,1'-dinaphthofurane.     

Mössbauer and other spectral studies of iron(II) complexes with amide-containing ligands

Summary Iron(II) complexes of the type [FeL₂X₂] (L=bidentate ligand, X=H₂O, Cl, or SCN) and [FeL₂] (L=tridentate ligand) with polydentate ligands derived from 2-(acetylamino)benzoic acid, 2-(benzoylamino)benzoic acid,2-[2-aminobenzoylamino]benzoic acid, 2-[amino-carbonyl]benzoic acid, 2-[(phenylamino)carbonyl]-benzoic acid, 2-[aminobenzoyl]benzoic acid and 2-aminobenzanilide have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity, magnetic susceptibility and i.r., electronic, n.m.r., and Mossbauer spectral studies. The different modes of ligand chelation and the stereochemistry around the metal ion are discussed. The small range of isomer shift values for iron(II) complexes confirms the similar geometry for all the complexes.     

Electron impact and molecular dissociation. Part XIX. Mass spectral studies of some binuclear metal complexes

The spectra of certain deuteriated binuclear chromium complexes have been obtained which help to elucidate some of the fragmentation processes of the molecular ion. The effect of the relative strengths of the metal-ligand and metal nitrosyl bonds is also discussed.     

Some binuclear complexes of iron and cobalt with isocyanide ligands

Whereas Co₂(CO)₈ and RNC (R= Me, Et, and Cy) react to give mixtures of [(RNC)₅Co] [Co(CO)₄] and the covalent, carbonyl-bridged [(RNC)_mCo₂(CO)_8?m] derivatives (m = 1–3), [(π-dienyl)Fe(CO)₂]₂ give only [(π-dienyl)₂Fe₂(CO)_4?n(CNR)_n] complexes (dienyl = C₅H₅, MeC₅H₄ and C₉H₇; n = 1–2) that exist in solution as mixtures of cis- and trans-CO- and RNC-bridged tautomers with the μ-RNC species decreasing in importance as the bulk of R increases.     

氯冉酸阴离子桥联的Nd(III)-Nd(III), Dy(III)-Dy(III)和 Ho(III)-Ho(III)双 核配合物的合成与磁性

本文合成了三个以氯冉酸阴离子为桥基的稀土双核配合物,Ln~2(Phen)~4(CA)(NCS)~4(Ln=Nd,Dy,Ho;Phen=菲咯啉;CA=氯冉酸二价阴离子)。通过元素分析,红外光谱,电导,电子吸收光谱及变温(4-300K)磁化率表征了配合物,并由变温磁化率观察到的数据和理论方程通过最小二乘法拟合,得出分子内稀土离子间的相互作用参数:Z'J'=-0.79(Nd),-0.67(Dy),-0.63cm^-^1(Ho);表明稀土离子间存在极弱的反铁磁性交换相互作用。零场分裂参数Δ=-0.16(Nd),-0.76(Dy),-2.55cm^-^1(Ho);g=0.618(Nd),1.739(Dy),1.601(Ho),拟合因子≈10^-^4。     

Mass spectral studies of some complexes of niobium(V) and tantalum(V) with chloro,alkoxy, acetylacetonato or salicylaldehydato ligands

Mass spectra of complex compounds of niobium (V) and tantalum (V) of the type MCl₂(OR)₂L have been measured, where M = Nb and Ta; HL = 2,4-pentanedione, R = CH₃, C₂H₅ and HL = Salicyladehyde, R = CH₃. The fragmentation upon electron-impact depends on the nature of the ligands and to a minor extent on the central metal atom. A fragmentation scheme has been constructed on the basis of measurements of metastable transitions and accurate masses of important fragment ions. Rearrangement reactions involving hydrogen migration among ligands have been observed.     

Synthesis and characterization of binuclear transition metal–rhenium(VII) complexes with bridging cyanide ligands

Reacting transition metal complexes in low oxidation states, containing one or two cyanide ligands, with methyltrioxorhenium(VII) leads to bridged mixed metal compounds in good yields. The Re(VII) core is then surrounded by five or six ligands, respectively. The strength of these CN bridges and thus the stability of the newly generated bimetallic compound strongly depends on the donor strength of the ligands surrounding of the Cr/Mo/W or Fe moiety. The stability of the mixed metal molecules is reflected in the temperature dependent behavior of their ¹⁷O-NMR spectra, in their IR (Re=O) stretching frequencies and force constants, as well as several other spectroscopic data. UV–vis absorption spectra show the appearance of charge transfer bands. In the case of the mixed Mo/Re complexes the ⁹⁵Mo-NMR spectroscopy is also a helpful tool to examine the donor capability of the Mo moiety. The described compounds also show photosensitivity.     

Some new rhodium(I)-iridium(III) complexes with bridging hydride and chloride ligands

[IrH₅(PEt₃)₂] reacts with [(PR₃)₂Rh(μ₂-Cl)₂(PR₃)₂] (PR₃ = PEt₃ or 2 PR₃ = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) to give the hydrido-bridged binuclear species [(PR₃)₂Rh(μ₂-H)(μ₂-Cl)IrH₂(PR₃)₂] which show catalytic activity in alkene hydrogenation.

Chemistry of iron complexes—III. X-ray diffraction,ESR and other spectral studies of new iron(II) and iron(III) complexes with tri-p-tolylarsine oxide

Reactions of iron(II) and iron(III) salts with tri-p-tolylarsine oxide(L) in suitable organic solvents yield complexes of formulas: (i) [FeL₂Cl₂(OH₂)₂] [FeCl₄].2H₂O, [FeL₂Br₂] [FeBr₄].2H₂O; (ii) [Fe(NCS)₃L₂].H₂O; (iii) [FeL(O₂ClO₂)₂(OH₂)] (ClO₄).0.25C₆H₆; (iv) [FeL₃I] [FeI₃].H₂O and (v) [Fe(CO)₃LI]I. Characterization has been done through elemental analyses, IR, far IR, ESR, and reflectance spectra, molar conductance, magnetic moments, t.g.a. and X-ray diffraction (powder) data. The species [FeL₂Cl₂(OH₂)₂]⁺, [FeL₂Br₂]⁺, [Fe(NCS)₃L₂], [FeL(O₂ClO₂)₂OH₂]⁺, [FeL₃I]⁺ and [Fe(CO)₃LI]⁺ have been assigned trans-octahedral, trans-square planar, trans-trigonal bipyramid, trans-octahedral, tetrahedral and cis-trigonal bipyramid structures respectively.     

Synthesis,characterization and biological activities of mononuclear and binuclear Fe(III) complexes with some symmetric and unsymmetric Schiff-base ligands

A series of mononuclear and binuclear Fe(III) complexes of some new symmetrical and unsymmetrical Schiff bases containing quinoline derivatives were synthesized and characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, conductance measurements and IR spectra. In mononuclear complexes, the unsymmetric Schiff bases are monobasic tetradentate towards the Fe(III) ion. However, in binuclear complexes, the symmetric Schiff-base ligands behave as monobasic bidentate towards each Fe(III) ion. The structure of the solid complexes are discussed and based on magnetic susceptibility measurements, electronic and ESR spectral studies. The biological activities of the ligands and their complexes are reported.     

Structural and spectroscopic studies of valence-delocalized diiron(II,III) complexes dupported by carboxylate-only bridging ligands

The synthesis, molecular structures, and spectroscopic properties of a series of valence-delocalized diiron(II,III) complexes are described. One-electron oxidation of diiron(II) tetracarboxylate complexes afforded the compounds [Fe(2)(mu-O(2)CAr(Tol))(4)L(2)]X, where L = 4-(t)BuC(5)H(4)N (1b), C(5)H(5)N (2b), and THF (3b); X = PF(6)(-) (1b and 3b) and OTf(-) (2b). In 1b-3b, four mu-1,3 carboxylate ligands span relatively short Fe...Fe distances of 2.6633(11)-2.713(3) A. Intense (epsilon = 2700-3200 M(-1) cm(-1)) intervalence charge transfer bands were observed at 620-670 nm. EPR spectroscopy confirmed the S = (9)/(2) ground spin state of 1b-3b, the valence-delocalized nature of which was probed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The electron delocalization between paramagnetic metal centers is described by double exchange, which, for the first time, is observed in diiron clusters having no single-atom bridging ligand(s).     

Synthesis,electrochemical and antimicrobial studies of mono and binuclear iron(III) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes of [ONO] donor tridentate Schiff-base ligands

Tridentate Schiff bases (H₂L¹ or H₂L²) were derived from condensation of acetylacetone and 2-aminophenol or 2-aminobenzoic acid. Binuclear square pyramidal complexes of the type [M₂(L¹)₂]?·?nH₂O (M?=?Fe–Cl, n?=?0; M?=?VO, n?=?1) were accessed from interaction of H₂L¹ with anhydrous FeCl₃ and VOSO₄?·?5H₂O, respectively. A similar reaction with H₂L², however, produced mononuclear complexes [ML²(H₂O) _x ]?·?nH₂O (M=Fe–Cl, x?=?0, n?=?0; M=VO, x?=?1, n?=?1). The compounds were characterized using elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and NMR (for ligand only), and mass spectroscopies and solution electrical conductivity studies. Magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest antiferromagnetic exchange in binuclear Fe(III) and VO(IV) complexes. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) provided unambiguous evidence for the presence of coordinated as well as lattice water in [VOL²(H₂O)]?·?H₂O. Cyclic voltammetric studies showed well-defined redox processes corresponding to Fe(III)/Fe(II) and VO(V)/VO(IV). In vitro antimicrobial activities of the compounds were investigated against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Proteus vulgaris. H₂L¹ and its binuclear complexes exhibited pronounced activity against all the microorganisms tested.     

Synthetic, spectral and structural studies of some homo and hetero binuclear arene ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes

Homo-hetero binuclear cationic complexes with the formulation [(η⁶-arene)RuCl(μ-dpp)(L)]⁺ (η⁶-arene = benzene; L = PdCl₂ (1a); PtCl₂ (1b), and η⁶-arene = p-cymene; L = PdCl₂ (2a); PtCl₂ (2b)), [(η⁶-arene)RuCl(μ-dpp)(L)]²⁺(η⁶-arene = p-cymene; L = [(η⁶-C₆H₆)RuCl] (2c), and [(η⁶-C₁₀H₁₄)RuCl] (2d)) were prepared. Molecular structure of the representative homo binuclear complex [{(η⁶-C₁₀H₁₄)RuCl}(μ-dpp){(η⁶-C₁₀H₁₄)RuCl}](PF₆)₂ (2d) was determined crystallographically. Weak interaction studies on the complex 2d revealed stabilisation of the crystal packing by weak inter and intra molecular C-H?X (X = F, Cl, π) and π-π interactions. The C-H?F interactions lead to parallel helical chains and encapsulation of counter anion in self-assembled cavity arising from C-H?π and π-π weak interactions.     

Thermal analysis of some chromium(III) complexes with dicarboxylic ligands

The solid chromium(III) complexes with a series of dicarboxylic ligands were prepared as potassium salts and examined by TG, DTG and DSC. The results are discussed in terms of basicity by arranging the ligands in proper series.     

Synthesis and structures of binuclear half-sandwich cobalt (III) ortho-carboranedithiolato complexes with silyl-bridged bis(cyclopentadienyl) ligands

Five binuclear half-sandwich cobalt complexes, [(η⁵-C₅H₄)Co(CO)I₂]₂SiMe₂ (3), [(η⁵-C₅H₄)Co(S₂C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]₂SiMe₂ (4), [(η⁵-C₅H₄)]₂Co₂(μ₂-S₂C₂B₁₀H₁₀)SiMe₂ (5), [(η⁵-C₅H₃)CoI₂](μ-I)[(η⁵-C₅H₃)Co(CO)I](SiMe₂)₂ (8), [(η⁵-C₅H₃)Co(S₂C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]₂(SiMe₂)₂ (9), were successfully synthesized in moderate yield by the reactions of corresponding ligands, (C₅H₅)₂SiMe₂ (1) and (C₅H₄)₂(SiMe₂)₂ (6), respectively. The molecular structures of 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis, which distinctly depict various molecular structures containing the Cp rings and the metal centers with halide or 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane-1,2-dithiolato ligands. For the (η⁵-C₅H₄)₂SiMe₂ complexes, coordination of the fragments CpCo favors a exo conformation. With the rigid structure of the di-bridged ligand (C₅H₄)₂(SiMe₂)₂, only cis isomers of the corresponding (η⁵-C₅H₃)₂(Si₂Me₂)₂ complexes are formed. All the complexes have been well characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and IR spectra.
