Thermal decomposition of metal complexes V. Lanthanide(III) complexes of benzo-15-crown-5

Thermal dissociation reactions of lanthanide(III) nitrates and thiocyanates solid complexes of the cyclic polyether benzo-15-crown-5 were studied in dynamic atmosphere of dry nitrogen and under reduced pressure (5·10^?2 mm Hg). The complexes of lanthanide nitrates undergo dissociation with ligand decomposition while from those of lanthanide thiocyanates the ligand is released undecomposed. Values of enthalpy change and “activation energy” for the dissociation reactions of the complexes with lanthanide thiocyanate were obtained and briefly discussed.     

Spectrophotometric and electrochemical determination of the formation constants of the complexes Curcumin-Fe(III)-water and Curcumin-Fe(II)-water

The formation of complexes among the Curcumin, Fe(III) and Fe(II) was studied in aqueous media within the 5-11 pH range by means of UV-Vis spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry. When the reaction between the Curcumin and the ions present in basic media took place, the resulting spectra of the systems Curcumin-Fe(III) and Curcumin-Fe(II) presented a similar behaviour. The cyclic voltammograms in basic media indicated that a chemical reaction has taken place between the Curcumin and Fe(III) before that of the formation of complexes. Data processing with SQUAD permitted to calculate the formation constants of the complexes Curcumin-Fe(III), corresponding to the species FeCur (lob beta110 = 22.25 +/- 0.03) and FeCur(OH)- (log beta111 = 12.14 +/- 0.03), while for the complexes Curcumin-Fe(II) the corresponding formation constants of the species FeCur- (log beta110 = 9.20 +/- 0.04), FeHCur (log beta111 = 19.76 +/- 0.03), FeH2Cur+ (log beta112 = 28.11 +/- 0.02).

Synthesis and spectroscopic study of praseodymium(III) complexes with tetra-15-crown-5-phthalocyanine

Praseodymium(III) complexes with tetra-15-crown-5-phthalocyanine—the neutral radical [(R₄Pc^?·)Pr³⁺(R₄Pc^2?)]⁰ and one-electron reduced [(R₄Pc^2?)Pr³⁺(R₄Pc^2?)]^? forms of the sandwich double-decker complex and the triple-decker complex Pr₂(R₄Pc)₃ (R₄Pc^2? is [4,5,4′,5′,4″,5t",4″′,5″′-tetrakis(1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecamethylene)phthalocyaninate ion])—have been synthesized and spectrally characterized. These compounds have been obtained by direct interaction of tetra-15-crown-5-phthalocyanine with praseodymium(III) acetate or acetylacetonate. The salt anion has an effect on the yield and structure of the reaction products. The complexes have been obtained in high yields, isolated, and characterized by different physicochemical methods: UV and visible electronic absorption spectroscopy, ¹H NMR, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The double-decker complex is stable in the solid state and in solutions. The triple-decker complex is stable only in the solid state. In a chloroform-methanol (10 vol %) solution, it slowly decomposes.     

f-Element/crown ether complexes: 21. Conformational changes in metal complexed versus hydrogen bonded benzo-15-crown-5 in the structure of [Y(OH2)3(NCMe)-(benzo-15-crown-5)][ClO4]3·benzo-15-crown-5·CH3CN

Crystalline [Y(OH₂)₃(NCMe)(benzo-15-crown-5)][ClO₄]₃·benzo-15-crown-5-CH₃CN can be obtained by slowly cooling a reaction mixture of Y(ClO₄)₃·n H₂O with benzo-15-crown-5 in a solution of acetonitrile and methanol (3 : 1) from 60°C to room temperature. The crystal structure of this complex has been determined at –150 and 20°C. The complex is triclinic,P . At –150°C the cell parameters area = 11.986(4),b = 12.071(7),c = 16.364(5) Å, = 93.56(3), = 98.68(3), = 109.68(4)°, vol = 2187 ų, andD _calc = 1.61 g cm^–3 forZ = 2 formula units. 3633 independently observed [F _o 5(F _o)] reflections were used in the final least-squares refinement leading to an agreement index ofR = 0.048. The Y(III) ion coordination geometry approximates a tricapped trigonal prism with three water molecules and three benzo-15-crown-5 oxygen atoms forming the prism, with the two remaining benzo-15-crown-5 oxygen atoms and the acetonitrile molecule completing the coordination as capping atoms. The three water molecules hydrogen bond a second crown ether molecule and two of the perchlorate anions. The two acetonitrile molecules have contacts with perchlorate oxygen atoms close enough for some weak interaction. One perchlorate is ordered, one is partially disordered as is the coordinated solvent molecule, and the third anion is totally disordered. The two unique crown ether molecules have distinctively different conformations.For Part 20, see reference [1].

Ruthenium(ii) complexes with tetra-15-crown-5-phthalocyanine: synthesis and spectroscopic investigation

The ruthenium complexes with tetra-15-crown-5-phthalocyanine and various axial ligands were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy. A method for the synthesis of bisaxially coordinated ruthenium(ii) tetra-15-crown-5-phthalocyaninates with the N-donor ligands (R₄Pc)Ru(L₂) (R₄Pc^2– = [4,5,4",5",4,5,4,5-tetrakis(1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxotridecamethylene)phthalocyaninate-ion], L is trimethylamine (Me₃N), pyridine (py), isoquinoline (iqnl), triethylamine (Et₃N), pyrazine (pyz)) was developed. The preparation technique involves selective decarbonylation of (R₄Pc)Ru(CO)(MeOH) on treatment with Me₃NO in excess N-donor solvent.     

Mononuclear, dinuclear, and hexanuclear goldI complexes with (aza-15-crown-5)dithiocarbamate

The reactions of sodium (aza-15-crown-5)dithiocarbamate with [AuClL] precursors lead to mono-, di-, or hexanuclear derivatives depending on L. The homoleptic hexanuclear gold(I) cluster [Au6(S2CNC10H20O4)6] is formed by displacement of the chloride and isocyanide ligands in [AuCl(CN(2,6-Me2C6H3))]. X-ray diffraction studies show a novel geometry in gold cluster chemistry where the six gold atoms display a cyclohexane-like geometry in a chair conformation with Au-Au-Au angles of 117.028(9) degrees, two short gold-gold distances of 2.9289(5) A, and bidentate bridging dithiocarbamate ligands. The molecular structure shows a crown of gold atoms surrounded by crown ethers. This derivative luminesces at 569 nm at room temperature in the solid state. A dinuclear isomer [Au2(S2CNC10H20O4)2] had been reported previously and was obtained by reaction with [AuCl(SMe2)]. The mechanism to obtain the hexanuclear derivative involves a mononuclear intermediate [Au(S2CNC10H20O4)(CNR)] for which the X-ray structure shows a short gold-gold distance of 3.565 A with the two molecules in an anti configuration. Phosphine gold(I) mononuclear derivatives [Au(S2CNC10H20O4)(PR3)] (R = Me, Ph, both characterized by X-ray diffraction) and dinuclear diphosphine derivatives [{Au(S2CNC10H20O4)}2(mu-P-P)] (P-P = dppm, bis(diphenylphosphinomethane); dppp, 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphinopropane); and dppf, 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphinoferrocene)) are also reported. In the mononuclear complexes, the molecular structure confirms that the dithiocarbamato ligand is mainly acting as monodentate, with a second longer Au-S distance of 3.197 (PMe3), 2.944(4) (PPh3), and 2.968 A (CNR). Three phosphine complexes are emissive at 562 (PMe3), 528 (PPh3), and 605 nm (dppm), at 77 K. X-ray diffraction studies of the dppm derivative show gold-gold intramolecular contacts of 3.0972(9) A (3.2265(10) A for a second independent molecule) and basically monodentate coordination of the dithiocarbamato ligands. All the complexes extract sodium and potassium salts from aqueous solutions. The diphosphine derivatives are noticeably better extractors than the monophosphino derivatives, mainly for potassium salts.     

Structure formation and gelation phenomena in solutions of ternary interpolyelectrolyte complexes

The representative of the new family of mechanically reversible gels is described. The gel is formed by mixing of an aqueous solution of non-stoichiometric interpolyelectrolyte complex of poly (sodium methacrylate) and poly(N-ethyl-4-vinylpyridinium bromide) containing a certain amount of covalent links between oppositely charged polyions, with aqueous solution of poly(potassium vinylsulfate). The gelation mechanism arises to the partial replacement of the electrostatic contacts between the polycation and poly(methacrylate) anion in the original polycomplex with those between the polycation and poly(vinylsulfate) polyanion. The network of the gel is most probably formed by the nodes consisting of covalent links and interpolyelectrolyte double-strand electrostatic clusters, united by poly(sodium methacrylate) tie-chains.

Their complexing characteristics are discussed in brief.
