Synthesis and Characterization of a New Symmetric Dinucleating Ligand and Its Dizinc(Ⅱ)Complex with Alkoxo and Carboxylate Bridges

<正>A novel dinuclear zinc(Ⅱ)complex[Zn_2L(μ-OAc)](PF_6)_2(CH_3OH)has been synthesized from a new symmetrical compartmental ligand HL in which the pendant arms,bearing pyridyl groups,are bridged by 1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol.X-ray crystal structure shows that the two zinc atoms reside within the adjacent ligand compartments and are bridged by the endogenous alkoxo-O from ligand and one exogenous carboxylate from acetate with a syn-syn mode.The coordination geometry of two zinc atoms is a distorted trigonal bipyramid with the pyridyl-N atoms and bridging alkoxo-O atom providing the equatorial donor set.Such coordination geometry observed in this complex is similar to that found in the dinuclear unit of phospholipase C.     

Cu(Ⅰ) and Cu (Ⅱ) helical complexes formed with oligobipyridine ligand

A new asymmetric oligobipyridine ligand, 1-(5'-methyl-2, 2'-bipyridin-5-yl)-2-(6'-methyl-2, 2'-bipyridin-6-yl)ethane (L), in which the bipyridine units are bridged by CH_2CH_2 at 5, 6'-position has been synthesized. The ligand L reacts with Cu(Ⅰ) and Cu(Ⅱ) ions giving double-stranded helical complexes [Cu_2~ⅠL_2] (ClO_4)_2·Et_2O (1) and [Cu_2~ⅡL_2 (OH) (H_2O)][ClO_4]_3(2), respectively. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses, ES-MS, ESR and cyclic voltammetry, etc. Differing from the oligobipyridine ligands bridged by CH_2CH_2 at 6,6'-or 5,5'-position, the ligand L not only forms a double-stranded helicate with Cu(Ⅰ) ion, but also gives a double-stranded helicate with Cu(Ⅱ) ion. The results show that the linkage mode of the spacer group to the bipyridine units exerts a great impact on the formation of helix.     

Synthesis and catalytic activity of novel heteronuclear Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) complexes with noncyclic polyether-amino acid Schiff base

A series of novel heteronuclear Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) complexes with noncyclic polyether-amino acid Schiff base were synthesized. The general formula is [LnCu_2(H_2TALY)(NO_3)_5](NO_3)_2' nH_2O(Ln=La, Nd, Sm, Gd, n= 4; Ln=Yb, Y, n=3), where H_2TALY = tetraglycol aldehyde bis-lysine Schiff base. It is the first time to report the synthetic method for this new Cu(Ⅱ) complexes and Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) heteronuclear complexes. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, TG-DTA, magnetic susceptibility, and especially by a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer for 2D-COSY NMR. Coordination mechanism and structures of complexes have been suggested as well. Of particular interest is the potential that the novel complexes obtained may be used as a catalyst, which prompted us to investigate them. It shows 100% conversion with the viscosity-average molecular weight 120 000 for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) without addition of any cocatalyst. Furthermore, the complexes with such aliphatic Schiff bas     

Theoretical studies on the complexation of Eu(Ⅲ) and Am(Ⅲ) with HDEHP: structure,bonding nature and stability

Separation of trivalent lanthanides(Ln(Ⅲ)) and actinides(An(Ⅲ)) is a key issue in the advanced spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. In the well-known trivalent actinide lanthanide separation by phosphorus reagent extraction from aqueous komplexes(TALSPEAK) process, the organophosphorus ligand HDEHP(di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid) has been used as an efficient reagent for the partitioning of Ln(Ⅲ) from An(Ⅲ) with the combination of a holdback reagent in aqueous lactate buffer solution. In this work, the structural and electronic properties of Eu~(3+) and Am~(3+) complexes with HDEHP in nitric acid solution have been systematically explored by using scalar-relativistic density functional theory(DFT). It was found that HDEHP can coordinate with M(Ⅲ)(M=Eu, Am) cations in the form of hydrogen-bonded dimers HL_2~-(L=DEHP), and the metal ions prefer to coordinate with the phosphoryl oxygen atom of the ligand. For all the extraction complexes, the metal-ligand bonds are mainly ionic in nature. Although Eu(Ⅲ) complexes have higher interaction energies, the HL_2~- dimer shows comparable affinity for Eu(Ⅲ) and Am(Ⅲ) according to thermodynamic analysis, which may be attributed to the higher stabilities of Eu(Ⅲ) nonahydrate. It is expected that this work could provide insightful information on the complexation of An(Ⅲ) and Ln(Ⅲ) with HDEHP at the molecular level.     

Preparation,Characterization and Properties of Two New Lanthanide(Ⅲ)-5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazolate Complexes

Two new mononuclear lanthanide(Ⅲ) complexes Ln(pytz)3(H2O)3·(H2O)3.5[Ln=Tb(1);Eu(2);Hpytz=5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazole] were synthesized by reacting Hpytz with the corresponding lanthanide(Ⅲ) ions and characterized.The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complexes 1 and 2 are isostructural and the lanthanide(Ⅲ) ions in both complexes 1 and 2 are nine-coordinated,with three oxygen atoms of three coordination water molecules and six nitrogen atoms of three pytz ligands,forming a monocapped square antiprism.Extensive hydrogen bonds exist,resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular network structure by hydrogen-bonds in both complexes 1 and 2,respectively.Complex 1 exhibits typical green fluorescence of Tb(Ⅲ) ion and complex 2 red fluorescence of Eu(Ⅲ) ion,in solid state at room temperature.     

Tuning the Photoluminescence of Zn(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers by Changing the Coordinated Solvent

By using solvothermal method,two new Zn(Ⅱ) coordination polymers based on 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(H_2FDA) ligand,[Zn(FDA)(CH_3OH)]_n(1) and [Zn_2(FDA)_2(CH_3CH_2OH)_2]_n(2),were synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as well as elemental analysis and IR.Complexes 1 and 2 are isostructural coordination polymers with two-dimensional sheet structures bridged by the protonated carboxylates ligands.The 2D network can be rationalized as a 3-c net with Schl?fli symbol is 82·10.Although 1 and 2 are isostructural,the photoluminescent intensity of 2 is almost twice that of 1 due to the difference of coordinated solvents.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) with non-cyclic polyether Schiff base

Nine novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) with salicylidene tetraethvlcne glycol diamine (SALTTA) have been synthesized and characterized.They have the general formulae [LnCu2(SALTTA)2(NO3)3](NO3)4 3H2O (Ln=La,Pr.Nd,Srn) and [LnCu3(SALTTA)3(NO3)5]-(NO3)4-4H2O (Ln=Gd,Tb,Er,Yb,Y).The IR spectra show that vc=N in the Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) het-eronuclear complexes are splitted up into two peaks with a far distance.It has been confirmed that oxygen atoms in oxyethylene of the ligand are not all coordinated to the central metal ions by both IR and NMR methods.     

The Study on the Stability Constant and Species Distribution of Eu （Ⅲ） and Tb （Ⅲ） Complexes with BDBPH

The stability constants and species distributions of complexes of two lanthanide ions, Eu（Ⅲ） and Tb（Ⅲ）, with a macrocyclic ligand, BDBPH, in 1：1 and 2：lsystem, were determined potentiometrically at 25.0 ℃ and I=0.100 mol L^-l. The two metal ions could form deprotonated mono- or dinuclear complexes with BDBPH after the first two protons of the ligand completely neutralized. At higher pH values, Eu（Ⅲ） could not form hydroxy complexes with BDBPH, while Tb（Ⅲ） could form hydroxy complexes in the type of M2L（OH）, M2L（OH）2, and M2L（OH）3.     

Four Complexes of Mn(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) Based on 2-Morpholine-4-yl-4,6-di-pyrazol-1-yl-1,3,5-triazine

Three azide bridged complexes, namely, [Mn_2L_2(N_3)_4(H_2O)_2](1), [Co_2L_2(N_3)_4]·(H_2O)_3(2) and [Ni_2L_2(N_3)_3(H_2O)]N_3·(H_2O)_4(3)(L = 2-morpholine-4-yl-4,6-di-pyrazol-1-yl-1,3,5-triazine), were synthesized by the reaction of L ligand, sodium azide with Mn(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ) and Ni(Ⅱ) chlorides. The copper(Ⅱ) chloride combined with thiocyanate and L ligand to form a mononuclear complex [CuL(CH_3OH)(SCN)(NCS)](4). Complexes 1~4 were characterized by IR, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallographic analysis. It was worth noting that two Mn(Ⅱ) atoms were connected by the end-to-end mode in 1, while Co(Ⅱ) and Ni(Ⅱ) atoms were connected by the end-on mode in 2 and 3. In complex 4, the central copper atom was coordinated with a sulfur atom and a nitrogen atom of the two thiocyanate ligands, respectively. Hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking interactions, thermogravimetric analysis and fluorescence properties of 1~4 were studied.     

Synthesis,Structure and Slow Magnetization Relaxation of Co(Ⅱ) Complexes from a Flexible Imidazole-based Ligand

The employment of a flexible imidazole-based ligand(H_2L), condensed from 1 Himidazole-2-carbaldehyde and 1,2-bis(aminooxy)ethane, and Co~(2+) salt has led to the formation of Co(Ⅱ) complexes [Co(H_2L)_2Cl]Cl·4CH_3OH(1) and [Co(H_2L)(NCS)_2]_2·2C_4H_(10)O(2), in the presence of different anions, i.e, Cl-and SCN-, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray analyses show that complex 1 with a square pyramid(C_(4v)) local environment exhibits a two-dimensional(2D)layered(4,4)-net framework and complex 2 displays a dinuclear molecule box with a T_d local environment. By comparison between complexes 1 and 2, the versatile configuration of ligand including cis-and trans-form isomer has a significant effect on the structures of the resulting complexes. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 are also investigated. The ac magnetic susceptibility revealed that 2 exhibits the characteristic of slow magnetization relaxation.     

Syndiotactic polymerization of styrene and copolymerization with ethylene catalyzed by chiral half-sandwich rare-earth metal dialkyl complexes

The syndiotactic polymerization of styrene(St) and the copolymerization of St with ethylene(E) were carried out by using a series of chiral half-sandwich rare-earth metal dialkyl complexes(Cp~x*) as the catalysts. The complexes are Ln(CH_2SiMe_3)_2(THF)(1-4: Ln = Sc(1), Ln = Lu(2), Ln = Y(3), Ln = Dy(4)) bearing chiral cyclopentadienyl ligand containing bulky cylcohexane derivatives in the presence of activator and AliBu_3. For the St polymerization, a high activity up to 3.1 × 10~6 g of polymer mol Ln~(-1)·h~(-1) and a high syndiotactic selectivity more than 99% were achieved. The resulting syndiotactic polystyrenes(sPSs) have the molecular weights(Mn) ranging from 3700 g·mol~(-1) to 6400 g·mol~(-1) and the molecular weight distributions(Mw/Mn) from 1.40 to 5.03. As for the copolymerization of St and E, the activity was up to 2.4 × 10~6 g of copolymer mol Sc~(-1)·h~(-1)·MPa~(-1), giving random St-E copolymers containing syndiotactic polystyrene sequences with different St content in the range of 15 mol%-58 mol%. These results demonstrate that the bulky cyclopentadienyl ligands of the chiral half-sandwich rare-earth metal complexes effectively inhibit the continued insertion of St monomers into the(co)polymer chain to some extent in comparison with the known half-sandwich rare-earth metal complexes.     

Synthesis and Structure of Dibenzoyl-bissemicarbazone Neodymium(Ⅲ) Perchlorate

A new Schiff base Dibenzoyl-bissemicarbazone C15H16N6O2(L) and its complex with neodymium(Ⅲ ) perchlorate [NdL2(H2O)2](ClO4)3 were synthesized. The crystal and molecular structure of the title complex were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal is monoclinic and conforms to space group P. with cell constants a=10. 893(2) A, b= 12. 118(3) A , c=22. 494(5) A , β=89. 86(3)% V = 2969.19A3. The final standard deviation R=0. 0919. In the complex Nd is coordinated by four nitrogen and six oxygen atoms, of which four nitrogen and four oxygen atoms are provided by two neutral ligands L, and the other two oxygen atoms are provided by two water molecules, forming a ten-coordinated complex cation, which the perchlorate groups exist in the outer sphere. The coordination polyhedron takes a bicapped anti-square prism arrangement. That the average bond length of Nd-N is 2. 735 A indicates that the coordination of N in groups to Nd( Ⅲ ) is very weak.     

Synthesis,structures and magnetic properties of a series of polynuclear copper(Ⅱ)-lanthanide(Ⅲ) complexes assembled with carboxylate and hydroxide ligands

Heterometallic copper(Ⅱ)-lanthanide(Ⅲ) complexes have been made with a variety of exclusively O-donor ligands including betaines (zwitterionic carboxylates) and chloroac-etate,which are dinuclear CuLn,tetranuclear Cu2Ln2,pen-tanuclear Cu2Ln2,and octadecanuclear Cu12Ln6 complexes.Hie results show that subtle changes in both the carboxylates and acidity of the reaction solution can cause drastic changes in the structures of the products.Magnetic studies exhibit that shielding of the Ln3 4f electrons by the outer shell electrons is very effective to preclude significant coupling interaction between the Ln3 4f electrons and Cu2 3d electrons in either a mono-atomic hydroxide-bridged,or a carboxylate-bridged system.     

STUDIES ON CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURES OF DEMETHYLCANTHARATE-M (M=Zn, Cu, Ni, Co)

The complexes of demethylcantharic acid coordinating with Zn~(2+), Cu~(2+), Ni~(2+) and Co~(2+) wereprepared and the five crystal structures were all determined by X-ray diffraction. Metal ions in thefive structures are of six-membered coordination. The demethylcantharate ions can act as a tri-,tetra- or penta-dentate ligand toward metal ions to form ion-pair structure, chain structure or threedimensional polymer structure respectively. The bridge oxygen atom in ligand always participatesin coordination. In the structures of KM(C_8H_8O_5)_2·6H_2O, the formal valence of M (Ni, Co) is+3, but the data of crystal structures show that M are M~(2+) ions and Ni may form a Ni~(2+) -stabilizedligand radical. In addition, the metal ions are assumed to be probes and some possible Interactionsbetween the acceptor and the receptor are discussed.

(CH_3OCH_2CH_2C_5H_4)_2LnI(Ln=La,Nd)complexes have beensynthesized by the reaction between NaI and[(CH_3OCH_2CH_2C_5H_4)_2LnCl]2in THF;A single crystal X-ray study has shown that the lanthanumcomplex is an unsolvated monomer with lanthanum(Ⅲ)in a trigonalbipyramidal coordination geometry if the cyclopentadienyl ring isregarded as occupying a single polyhedral vertex.     

Crystal Structures and DNA Binding Properties of 2-Naphthoxyacetic Acid Cu(Ⅱ) Complexes

Two new copper complexes based on 2-naphthoxyacetic acid ligand, namely [Cu(L)_2(CH_3CN)]_2(1) and [Cu(L)(1,10-phen)_2](2), where L = 2-naphthoxyacetic acid and 1,10-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, were obtained by hydrothermal reaction and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The binuclear complex 1 and mononuclear complex 2 belong to space group C2/c and P■, respectively. The binding properties of the two compounds with ct-DNA were investigated by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra. The two compounds could bind with ct-DNA through interactions. Compound 2 displays stronger binding ability in the reaction with ct-DNA.     

Syntheses and Structures of Two Ruthenium(III)Complexes [Ru(PPh_3)_2(S_2CNR_2)Cl_2]·CH_2Cl_2(R=Et and ~iPr)

Oxidation reaction of [Ru(PPh_3)_3Cl_2] with tetraethylthiuram disulfide[Et_2NCS_2]_2 or tetra-iso-pmpylthiumm disulfide[~iPr_2NCS_2]_2 afforded mthenium(Ⅲ)complexes[Ru(PPh_3)_2(S_2CNR_2)cl_2]·CH2Cl2(R=Et 1,~iPr 2)which were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Complex 1 crystallizes in triclinic,space group Pīwith a=11.5065(6),b=12.1458(7),C=18.0034(9)(A),α=109.380(4),β=95.279(4),γ=97.969(4)°,ν=2324.8(2)(A)~3 and Z=2.Complex 2 belongs to the monoclinic system,space group P21/n with a=12.5752(3),b=20.7562(5),e=17.6821(3)(A),β=105.934(1)°,ν=4437.94(17)(A)~3 and Z=4.Both mononuclear complexes 1 and 2 have an octahedral configuration around the central ruthenium atom which is bonded to one chelated dithiocarbamate ligand,two PPh_3 ligands in mutually tram and two chlorides in mutually cis positions.The average Ru-S,Ru-P and Ru-Cl bond lengths are 2.377(2),2.412(2)and 2.369(2)(A) for 1,and 2.376(2),2.414(1)and 2.383(2)(A) for 2,respectively.The electrochemical properties of these two complexes were studied in CH_2Cl_2 solution by cyclic voltammetry.     

Syntheses, Characterizations, Crystal Structures and Antibacterial Activities of Two Zinc(II) Complexes with a Schiff Base Derived from o-Vanillin and p-Toluidine

Two new zinc(II) complexes, [Zn2L2Cl4]·2[ZnL(CH3OH)Cl2] 1 and [ZnL2(NO3)2] 2, were synthesized by reacting ZnX2·nH2O (X = Cl-, NO3-) and a Schiff base ligand 2-[(4-me- thylphenylimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenol (C15H15NO2, L) which was obtained by the condensation of o-vanillin (2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) with p-toluidine. Both 1 and 2 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique, elemental analysis, molar conductance, FT-IR, UV-Vis, 1H-NMR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. The Schiff base ligand and its zinc(II) complexes have been tested in vitro to evaluate their antibacterial activity against bacteria, viz., Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus Subtilis. The results show that these complexes have higher activity than the corresponding free Schiff base ligand against the same bacteria.     

Voltammetric determination of stability constants of lead complexes with diallyl disulfide,dimethyl disulfide,and diallyl sulfide

The complexation of Pb~(2+)by diallyl disulfide(DADS), dimethyl disulfide(DMDS) and diallyl sulfide(DAS)has been studied by differential pulse voltammetry. Stability constants,(log b), of the 1:1(PbL) and 1:2(PbL_2) complexes, where L = ligand, were found to be in the range of ca. 3.8–4.2 and 9.4–10.2,respectively. Complex formation is accompanied with a significant decrease in the peak current and the shift of the Pb2+/Pb half-wave potential to a higher one upon the addition of the sulfur containing ligands(L). The formation of 1:1 and 1:2 complexes, i.e., PbL~(2+)and PbL_2~(2+)was observed in the case of the three ligands. The consecutive formation constants of labile lead complexes with DADS, DMDS, and DAS were determined at 298 K by the method of De Ford and Hume. Apparently due to the large size of the lead ion,steric hindrance caused by the greater steric bulk of DADS compared to that of DMDS have little or no effects on the formation constants, so that very similar values were obtained in the case of the two ligands. Also, the possible participation of C=C double bonds in coordination with the metal center in the case of DADS appears to compensate for the steric effects caused by the larger size of this ligand. In agreement with the Jorgensen principle of symbiosis, the second formation constants were found to be approximately six orders of magnitude greater than the first ones.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and forming mechanism of two novel copper (Ⅱ) α-methacrylate complexes with benzimidazole

Two copper (Ⅱ) a-methacrylate complexes with benzimidazole, Cu [CH_2=C( CH_3)-COO]_2(C_7H_6N_2)_2(1) and Cu_2 [CH_2=C(CH_3)-COO]_4(C_7H_6N_2)_2 (2), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and electronic reflectance spectroscopies. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the two complexes shows that complex 1 has a square planar configuration, while complex 2 has a binuclear cage structure. The crystal structural analyses show that both complexes 1 and 2 are monoclinic, with space group P2_1/c, a=0.924 16(8) nm, b=1.233 02(13) nm, c =0.989 1(3) nm, β=91.912(13)°, D_c=1.386 g/cm~3, Z=2, R=0.033 9 for the former; and a=0.905 7(2) nm, b=2.252 1(5) nm, c=1.623 5(4) nm, β=90.11(2)°, D_c =1.411 g/cm~3 , Z=4, R=0.056 8, Cu-Cu=0.266 21 nm for the latter. Different structural types of complexes 1 and 2 were produced simultaneously in the reaction of copper (Ⅱ) α-methacrylate with benzimidazole in methanol solution. The forming mechanism of the complexes has been summarized.
