Photochemical Behavior of Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) Complexes of 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-Bipyridine

Several mixed-ligand complexes of formula [MX 2 (MBPY)] {where M is Pd(II) or Pt(II); X is Cl m , I m , N 3 m or NO 2 m and MBPY is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine} have been prepared. The UV-Vis spectra of these complexes were found to show a low-lying MLCT band and on irradiation at the MLCT band these complexes sensitize the oxidation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol (XH) in N , N -dimethylformamide (DMF) to 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinoloxy free radical (XO). This photo-oxidation reaction involves singlet molecular oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) as an intermediate and its presence was confirmed by quenching studies using bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)nickel(II) [Ni(DDTC) 2 ], a well-known 1 O 2 quencher. The ability of the complexes to photosensitize the above photo-oxidation reaction follows the order: [Pt ( N 3 ) 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 2 ) ～ [Pt ( NO 2 ) 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 3 ) > [PtCl 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 4 ) > [PtI 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 1 ) > [Pd ( NO 2 ) 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 7 ) ～ [Pd ( N 3 ) 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 6 ) > [PdCl 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 8 ) > [PdI 2 ( MBPY ) ] ( 5 ), which reflects the nature of the metal ion and the nature of the ligands present in the complexes.     

Binuclear and mononuclear cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 4,4′-bis(alkylaminoisonitrosoacetyl)diphenyl-methane derivatives

4,4-Bis(chloroacetyl)diphenylmethane has been prepared from ClCH₂COCl and Ph₂CH₂. 4,4-Methylenebis(phenylglyoxylohydroximoyl chloride has also been obtained. Four new substituted 4,4-bis(alkylaminoisonitrosoacetyl)diphenylmethanes (ligands) have been prepared from 4,4-methylenebis(phenylglyoxylohydroximoyl chloride) and the corresponding amines. The Ni^II, Cu^II and Co^II complexes of these ligands were prepared and their structures were identified using AAS, i.r., ¹H-n.m.r. spectral data, elemental analyses and magnetic susceptibility measurements.

Syntheses,crystal structures and fluorescent properties of two 4,4′-dipyridylsulfide based zinc(II) and cadmium(II) helical complexes

Two allomeric helical coordination polymers, {[Zn(4,4′-dps)₂(HSSA)(H₂O)₂] · 3(H₂O)} _n (1) and {[Cd(4,4′-dps)₂(HSSA)(H₂O)₂] · 3(H₂O)} _n (2) (4,4′-dps = 4,4′-dipyridylsulfide, H₃SSA = 5-sulfosalicylic acid), have been synthesized by similar experimental methods and characterized by elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and fluorescence spectra. Both crystallize in monoclinic system, space group P₂1/n, with a = 11.7947(13) Å, b = 13.7475(15) Å, c = 20.183(2) Å, and Z = 4 for 1 and a = 11.940(7) Å, b = 14.068(8) Å, c = 20.323(12) Å, and Z = 4 for 2. In both complexes, the metal (Zn^II for 1 and Cd^II for 2) are six-coordinate with a N₃O₃ donor set in a distorted octahedron. Half of the 4,4′-dps are μ ₂-bridging, linking adjacent metal centers and forming P₂1/n dimensional helical structures along the b-axis. Fluorescence measurements show that 1 and 2 have medium fluorescent emission at 402 and 405 nm, respectively.     

Synthesis,characterisation and electrochemical study of 4,4′-bis(salicylideneimino) diphenylethane and its complexes with cobalt(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II)

We have prepared and characterised a new series of metal complexes obtained from 4,4-bis(salicylideneimino)diphenylethane (saldipH₂) and cobalt(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II) chlorides. In every case, the coordinating atoms are N and O. However, each compound has its own structure:[Co(saldip)]·2 H₂O is monomeric and a mononuclear species, [Cu₂(saldip)₂(H₂O)] is a binuclear complex and finally the cadmium complex is formulated as:[(CdCl₂)₂(saldipH₂)]·CdCl₂. An electrochemical study (cyclic voltammetry) indicates that the reduction, as well as the oxidation, of copper in [Cu₂(saldip)₂(H₂O)] proceeds in two steps. For the reduction of the two other complexes, two steps are indicated out: the first is attributed to the reduction of the metal and the second to the reduction of the coordinated ligands.     

Investigation of complexes of zinc(II) and cadmium(II)DI-n-butyldithiocarbamates with 2,2′-bipyridyl

A new mixed-ligand complex, Cd(S₂CN(C₄H₉)_{2 2})₂(2,2′-Bipy), was synthesized. A polycrystal X-ray diffraction analysis was performed (DRON-3M and DRON-UM1 diffractometers, CuK_α radiation, Ni filter) and the crystal structure was determined [Enraf-Nonius CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, MoK_α radiation, 2440 nonzero independent reflections, 153 refined structural parameters, R is 0.11 for I>2σ(I)]. Crystal data for C₂₈H₄₄CdN₄S₄ : a = 28.716(4), b = 6.848(6), c = 17.188(2) Å, space group Pcca, V-3380.2(7) ų, Z = 4, M = 679.42, dcaU.= 1.335 g/cm3. The structure consists of monomeric molecules in which the cadmium atom has a distorted octahedral environment. The polycrystal diffraction analysis revealed that the complex is isostructural with the defined complex Zn(S₂CN(C₄Hg)₂)₂(2,2′-Bipy). A crystal-chemical search on metal dialkyldithiocarbamates in the Cambridge Structural Database was accomplished and isostructural pairs of Zn and Cd metal complexes were found.

[Mo(CO)₄(η⁵-C₇H₉)]⁺ (1) reacts with acetonitrile to give [Mo(CO)₂(NCMe)₃(η³-C₇H₉)]⁺ (3), which is precursor of a wide reange of η⁵-cycloheptadienyl complexes [Mo(CO)₂L₂(η⁵-C₇H₉)]⁺ [6, L = PPH₃; 7, L₂ = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂; 8, L₂ = 1,3-cyclohexadiene; 9, L₂ = 2,2′-dipyridyl]; 9 reacts reversibly with NCMe to give [Mo(CO)₂(NCMe)(dipy)(η³-C₇H₉)]⁺ (10).     

Molybdenum and tungsten complexes of biquinoline. Crystal structure of W(CO)4(2,2′-biquinoline)

M(CO)₆ (M = Mo and W) reacts with 2,2-biquinoline (biq) to yield tetracarbonyl derivatives M(CO)₄(biq). Crystals suitable for X-ray structure determination of W(CO)₄(biq) were isolated from benzene solution. The u.v.–vis. spectra of the complexes exhibited visible transitions due to metal-to-ligand charge-transfers. Electrochemical investigation of the complexes showed some irreversible, reversible and quasi-reversible redox reactions due to tautomeric interconversions through electron transfer. The thermal properties of the complexes were also investigated using the thermogravimetric technique.     

Two novel metal organic frameworks of Sn(II) and Pb(II) with Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic Acid and 4,4′-Bipyridine: syntheses, crystal structures and solution studies

Two novel compounds with formulae [Sn₂(pydcH)₂(H₂O)₂O]_n, 1, and (4,4′-bpyH₂)_0.5[Pb(pydc)₂(4,4′-bpyH)].4,4′-bpy.4H₂O, 2, were obtained from a one-pot reaction between pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (pydcH₂) and 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) with corresponding Sn(II) and Pb(II) salts. In compound 1 with a polymeric structure, each Sn(II) atom is six-coordinated by one water molecule, two (pydcH)^? groups and one oxide group resulted in a coordination polymer. Compound 2 has a seven-coordinated environment around Pb(II) atom by two (pydc)^2? groups and one (4,4′-bpyH). The anionic complex is balanced by half a (4,4′- bpyH₂)²⁺ as counter ion. There are four uncoordinated water molecules and one 4,4′-bpy in the crystal lattice. Therefore, in compound 2, we have neutral, mono- and biprotonated forms of 4,4′-bipyridine, simultaneously. Several interactions including O-H??? O, O-H???EN and C-H???O hydrogen bonds, ion pairing, C-O???π (O???Cg 3.324(3) Å and 3.381(3) Å in 1 and O???Cg 3.346(4) Å in 2), C-H???π (C???Cg 3.618(4) Å in 2), and π???π stackings (with Cg ??? Cg distances of 3.613(2) and 3.641 (2) Å in 2) are present to expand and stabilize the structure. The complexation reactions of bpy and pydc-bpy with Sn²⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions in aqueous solution were investigated by potentiometric pH titrations, and the resulting equilibrium constants and species distributions at various pHs for major formed complexes are described.

Syntheses and crystal structures of cobalt(II) and zinc(II) complexes with 4′-methoxy-5,6,7-trihydroxyisoflavone-3′-sulfonate

Abstract Sodium 4′-methoxy-5,6,7-trihydroxyisoflavone-3′-sulfonate (1) is synthesized by the sulfonation of 6-hydroxybiochanin A and its structure is characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H-NMR, and IR spectroscopy. It is assembled with cobalt(II) or zinc(II), hexaquacobalt(II) bis(4′-methoxy-5,6,7-trihydroxyisoflavone-3′-sulfonate) tetrahydrate (2) and hexaquazinc(II) bis(4′-methoxy-5,6,7-trihydroxyisoflavone-3′-sulfonate) tetrahydrate (3) are obtained and characterized by IR spectroscopy. Simultaneously, their three-dimensional structures are determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. It turns out that 2 and 3 are isomorphous and crystallize in the triclinic crystal system, space group P-1. Hydrophilic regions are defined by O–H···O hydrogen bonds involving the coordinated water molecules, the included water molecules, and sulfonate groups. Aromatic π...π stacking interactions assemble the isoflavone skeletons into columns and these columns formed hydrophobic regions. The sulfonate group is an important bridge as a structural link between the hydrophilic regions and the hydrophobic regions. Hydrogen bonds, π...π stacking interactions and the electrostatic interactions assemble 2 and 3 into three-dimensional network structures.

Thermochemistry of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes with N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea and N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea

Two substituted N-acylthioureas and the respective Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized, namely: N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea (Hnbtu); N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea (Hibtu); bis[N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]nickel(II), [Ni(nbtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]copper(II), [Cu(nbtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]nickel(II), [Ni(ibtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]copper(II), [Cu(ibtu)₂]. The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation and sublimation of the two N-acylthioureas were measured, at T = 298.15 K, by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry and Calvet microcalorimetry, respectively. The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of the Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were determined, at T = 298.15 K, by high precision solution–reaction calorimetry. From the results obtained, the enthalpies of hypothetical metal–ligand and metal–metal exchange reactions, in the gaseous phase, were derived, thus allowing a discussion of the gaseous phase energetic difference between the complexation of Ni(II) and Cu(II) to 1,3-ligand systems with (S,O) ligator atoms.
