Structure of the hexanuclear Cu(II) β-diketonate complex

The structure of the hexanuclear copper(II) β-diketonate complex with gfa (hexafluoroacetylacetone) and dpm (dipivalylmethanate) ligands was studied by low-temperature (T = 100 K) X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for Cu₆(gfa)₄(dpm)₄(OH)₄ [C₆₄H₈₄Cu₆F₂₄O₂₀]: a = 28.2364(7) Å, b = 12.8072(3) Å, c = 24.7199(7) Å, β= 115.900(1)°, V = 8041.5(4) ų, space group C2/m, Z = 4, d _calc 1.661 g/cm³. The coordination polyhedra of the copper atoms — squares and octahedra — are formed by the oxygen atoms of the gfa and dpm ligands and groups. In all cases, the Cu-O distances vary from 1.89 Å to 2.13 Å. The complexes follow the sites of the rhombohedral sublattice with the parameters a _c ≈ 14.4 Å and a _c ≈ 61.5°.     

Complexes of copper(II) with the β-blocker atenolol

Mono- and binuclear copper(II) complexes with atenolol (HAt) can be obtained, depending on the reaction conditions. The mononuclear violet complex cation has the general formula Cu(HAt)₄ ²⁺ with an elongated octahedral geometry. The two ligands in the equatorial plane are bound in a bidentate fashion through the hydroxyl oxygen and amino nitrogen, while the other two atenolol molecules in axial position are coordinated in a monodentate way. The binuclear green complex Cu₂At₂Cl₂, is neutral, where atenolol acts as a bidentate (O^–, NH) bridging ligand. The bridge between the two Cu atoms is realized by the deprotonated oxygen of the alcohol group.

Blue Luminescent Zinc(II)-and Cadmium(II)-1,4-phenylenediacetate Complexes

1 INTRODUCTION The crystal engineering and design of solid-state coordination polymers have become a very attrac- tive field in recent years[1～4]. Many interesting fra- meworks with intriguing potential applications have been obtained through the self-assembly of selected metal centers and carboxylate ligands[5, 6].

Deuteration of β-phenylpropionic acid in the presence of homogeneous potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) catalyst

The kinetic of deuteration of -phenylpropionic acid with D₂O acidified with HCl in the presence of homogeneous K₂PtCl₄ catalyst has been investigated in the 100–130°C temperature interval. The quasi-unimolecular H/D exchange rate constants at 100 and at 130°C, corresponding to fast H/D exchange process, have been deduced by analysis of the composite integrated NMR signal of the substituted benzene ring hydrogens; the Arrhenius activation energy for this exchange was estimated.     

The adsorption of mercury(II) on the surface of silica modified with β-cyclodextrin

Multistage chemical modification of the surface of silica with β-cyclodextrin was performed. IR spectroscopy and quantitative analysis of surface compounds were used to prove the structure of modified silica. The adsorption of Hg(II) from dilute solutions was studied. The adsorption affinity of silica for mercury ions increased because of the formation of supramolecular structures with chemically immobilized β-cyclodextrin.     

Synthesis and characterization of sterically encumbered β-ketoiminate complexes of iron(II) and zinc(II)

The synthesis, structure, and spectroscopic signatures of a series of four-coordinate iron(II) complexes of β-ketoiminates and their zinc(II) analogues are presented. An unusual five-coordinate iron(II) triflate with three oxygen bound protonated β-ketoimines is also synthesized and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that the deprotonated bis(chelate)metal complexes are four-coordinate with various degrees of distortion depending on the degree of steric bulk and the electronics of the metal center. Each of the high-spin iron(II) centers exhibits multiple electronic transitions including ligand π to π*, metal-to-ligand charge transfer, and spin-forbidden d-d bands. The (1)H NMR spectra of the paramagnetic high-spin iron(II) centers are assigned on the basis of chemical shifts, longitudinal relaxation times (T(1)), relative integrations, and substitution of the ligands. The electrochemical studies support variations in the ligand strength. Parallel mode EPR measurements for the isopropyl substituted ligand complex of iron(II) show low-field resonances (g > 9.5) indicative of complex aggregation or crystallite formation. No suitable solvent system or glassing mixture was found to remedy this phenomenon. However, the bulkier diisopropylphenyl substituted ligand exhibits an integer spin signal consistent with an isolated iron(ii) center [S = 2; D = -7.1 ± 0.8 cm(-1); E/D = 0.1]. A tentative molecular orbital diagram is assembled.     

The kinetics of reduction of palladium (II) complexes with β-alanine at dropping mercury electrode and the complexes’ stability constants

By using dc and ac polarography, the kinetics of electroreduction of the palladium (II) complexes with β-alanine at a dropping mercury electrode was studied in solutions with the palladium (II) concentration from 2 × 10^?5 to 2 × 10^?4 M and variable β-alanine and sodium perchlorate concentrations (pH 6–12). One polarographic wave was observed in solutions with pH 9 and 10 at the β-alanine overall concentration of c _βala = 1 × 10^?3 to 5 × 10^?2 M; two waves, at lower pH or higher c _βala. It was concluded on the formation of different forms of palladium (II) complexes in the studied solutions; the complexes contained two to four β-alanine coordinated anions. Using the limiting diffusion currents for the two waves at pH 9–11 and c _βala = 0.1 and 0.5 M, the stepwise stability constant for the Pd(βala) ₄ ^2? complex was calculated. Using two ac peaks observed at pH 7–8 and c _βala = 1 × 10^?2 to 0.1 M, the stepwise stability constant for the Pd(βala) ₃ ^? . was calculated. The perchlorate ions adsorbed at the dropping mercury electrode, as well as βala^? anions at their higher concentrations, hamper the electroreduction of the palladium (II) complexes with β-alanine.     

Packing of complexes and intermolecular interactions in the crystals of volatile palladium(II) β-diketonates. crystal structure of palladium(II) benzoyltrifluoroacetonate

This paper reports on the synthesis and crystal structure analysis of palladium(II) bis-(trans-benzoyltrifluoroacetonate). Crystal data for PdO₄C₂₀F₆H₁₂:a= 4.748, b = 22.237, c = 9.410 Å, P = 105.44° Z = 2, space group P2₁/c, d_calc. = 1.86 g/cm . CAD-4 diffmctometer(MoKa), heavy atom method, R = 0.041 for 986 reflections. The structure is molecular; the planar molecules are stacked. The Pd atom is surrounded by a square of four O atoms (Pd?O = 1.97 Å, chelate angle 94.4°); Pd is involved in additional intemctions with the C_γ atoms of two neighboring molecules (Pd...C_γ= 3.44 Å). The molecular structure of palladium β-diketonate complexes, molecular packing in crystal, and intermolecular intemctions are considered. The van der Waals energies of the crystal lattice are calculated. The results are compared with the experimental values. In the structures of palladium( 11) β-diketonates, three groups of crystals are isolated: one group with 2 nearest-neighbor interactions (stacks), the second with 4 nearest-neighbor interactions (two-dimensional nets), and the third with 1 nearest-neighbor interaction (dimers). The latter are characteristic of the cis-complexes. The intemctions with 10–12 nearest neighbor molecules determine the energetics of the whole crystal. The high volatility of Pd(hfa)₂ is explained by the weaker intermolecular contacts between stacks in crystal.     

Copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes of substituted β-hydroxyiminoanilides

Complexes of the general formula, ML₂ [M = Cu^II, Ni^II, Co^II and OV^IV; L = 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-3-hydroxyimino-N-(4-X-phenyl)-l-phenyl-5-(phenylmethylene)-2-naphthalenecarboxamide (X = H, Me, OMe, Cl)] have been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, magnetic moments and i.r., e.p.r. and electronic spectra. These metal complexes contain the N₄ chromophore with the ligand coordinating through nitrogens of the azomethine and deprotonated anilide functions. C.v. measurements indicate that the copper(II) complexes are quasi-reversible in acetonitrile solution. Square planar and square pyramidal structures are assigned respectively to the copper(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes, whereas tetrahedral geometry is assigned to the nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes. Deprotonated anilide nitrogen is involved in coordination and the presence of an electron-donating group para to the anilide function decreases the ΔE values of the d–d transitions while the value is found to increase when electron-withdrawing groups are substituted. Line spacing in the e.p.r. spectra of the copper(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes increases when methyl group is para to the anilide group, and decreases when this group is replaced by methoxy or chloro. The ν(C–N) of the anilide group and the ν(C-N) of the azomethine function of the oxime metal complexes are metal-sensitive and the blue shift for the above stretching frequencies follows the order: copper(II) > oxovanadium(IV) > nickel(II) ≈ cobalt(II). This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Six-Nuclear Complexes of Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) with Mercamine and β-Mercaptoethanol

The platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes [Pt₆(SCH₂CH₂NH₂)₈]Cl₄ and [Pd₆(SCH₂CH₂OH)₈ Cl₄· 5H₂O with mercamine and β-mercaptoethanol, respectively, were synthesized. It was found on the basis of the comparison of IR and X-ray electron spectra of the ligands and complexes, and also of the data of X-ray diffraction analysis that the bidentate coordination of ligands through sulfur and nitrogen atoms is realized in the platinum(II) complex. In the palladium(II) complex β-mercaptoethanol is coordinated in a mixed-mode type. In both complexes sulfur atoms of the ligands occupy a bridging position.     

Studies of the Interaction of the Salicylideneserinatecopper(II) Complex with β-Cyclodextrin: Characterization and Reactivity of the Inclusion Compound

The compound formed by the copper-Schiff base complex salicylideneserinatecopper(II), [Cu(sal-ser)(H2O)], interacting with -cyclodextrin was prepared, and characterized in the solid state by infrared, UV-visible and EPR spectroscopies, X- ray diffraction, and thermoanalytical techniques. The catalytic activity of this compound, [Cu(sal-ser)CD], in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, and in the dismutation of superoxide radicals was also verified, in comparison with the reactivity of the free complex, in aqueous solution. In both cases, a decreasing in the reaction rate was observed for the CD-containing compound. The results of structural characterization, in addition to the substantial differences observed in the catalytic activities of the compounds, are indicative of partial insertion of the copper complex in the cavity of the oligosaccharide.
