Cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes of 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole

Summary Cobalt(II) and copper(II) halide, nitrate, thiocyanate and perchlorate complexes of 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole (3-AMI) have been prepared and characterized by means of magnetic, spectroscopic and molar conductivity measurements. In Cu(3-AMI)₂X₂ compounds (X = Cl, Br, N02) the 3-AMI ligand is bridging and bidentate [N (ring), O(bonded)]. In the other derivatives it is monodentate [N(ring) bonded]. All cobalt(II) complexes have an octahedral stereochemistry, if the Co(3-AMI)₂X₂ derivatives (X = Cl, Br), which are tetrahedral, are excluded. Copper(II) complexes have generally a distorted square pyramidal stereochemistry in the solid state and in solution.     

Spectroscopic investigations and physico-chemical characterization of newly synthesized mixed-ligand complexes of 2-methylbenzimidazole with metal ions

Some mixed ligand complexes containing 2-methylbenzimidazole and thiocyanate ion were synthesized. Free ligands and their metal complexes were characterized using elemental analysis, determination of metal, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity, infrared, UV-VIS, and (¹H, ¹³C) NMR spectra, and X-ray structure analysis. The results suggest that the Ag(I) complex has linear geometry, Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) have tetrahedral geometry, Pd(II) complex has square planar geometry, VO(IV) square pyramidal geometry, Pb(II) irregular tetrahedral geometry, and that the Cr(III) and Mn(II) complexes have octahedral geometry. The following general formulae were proposed for the prepared complexes: [AgBX], [CrB₃X₃], (HB)₂[MnB₂X₄] · 2B and [MB₂X₂], where B = 2-methylbenzimidazole, HB = 2-methylbenzimidazolium, X = thiocyanate ion, and M = VO(IV), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II). Molar conductance of a 10⁻³ M solution in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) indicates that all the complexes are non-electrolytes except the Mn(II) complex which is an electrolyte because the molar conductivity of its solution in DMF is high.     

Chelate complexes of some NNO tridentate Schiff bases with iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

Summary The Schiff bases a-(C₅H₄N)CMe=NNHCOR (R = Ph, 2-thienyl or Me), prepared by condensation of 2-acetylpyridine with the acylhydrazines RCONHNH₂, coordinate in the deprotonated iminol form to yield the octahedral complexes, M[NNO]₂ M = Co or Ni; [NNOH] = Schiff base and the square-planar complexes, Pd[NNO]Cl. The Schiff bases also coordinate in the neutral keto form yielding the octahedral complexes (M[NNOH]2)Z2 (M = Ni, Co or Fe; Z = C104, BF₄ or N03) and complexes of the type M[NNOH]X2 (M = Ni, Co, Fe or Cu; X = Cl, Br or NCS). Spectral and x-ray diffraction data indicate that the complexes M[NNOH]X2 (M = Ni or Fe) are polymeric octahedral, as are the corresponding cobalt complexes having R = 2-thienyl. However, the cobalt complexes Co[NNOH]X2 (X = CI or Br; R = Ph or Me) and the copper complexes Cu[NNOH]CI₂ (R = Ph, 2-thienyl or Me) are five-coordinate, while the thiocyanato complex Co[NNOH](NCS)₂ (R = 2-thienyl) is tetrahedral.     

Copper Complexes of Dicarboxy‐Functionalized Tetramethylcyclam. Crystal Structures of Complexes with the Axial Ligands Perchlorate,Chloride, and Iodide

6,13‐Dicarboxy‐1,4,8,11‐tetramethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane‐copper(II) perchlorate ( 2 a ) was synthesized via one‐step cyclocondensation from bis(N,N′‐dimethyl‐ ethylenediamine‐copper(II) perchlorate, formaldehyde and malonic acid. Anion exchange yielded the analogous copper(II) chloride ( 2 b ) and iodide ( 2 c ) complexes. Crystal structures of 2 a – 2 c show a square‐planar N₄‐co‐ordination of the copper(II) ion with RRSS configuration of the nitrogens and perchlorate, chloride or iodide ions weakly co‐ordinated axially. Relating to the macroring, the carboxy groups are in trans‐position. In 2 a , the packing is typical of parallel strands of complex subunits effected by dimerization of the carboxy groups, while in 2 b and 2 c formation of the supramolecular strands involve hydrogen bond interactions between carboxy groups and halide anions.     

Transition metal chemistry of oxime-containing ligands,VI: magnetic and structural properties of mono (pyridine-2-aldoxime) dithiocyanato iron (II) and mono (6-methylpyridine-2-aldoxime) dithiocyanato iron (II) complexes

The complexes of pyridine-2-aldoxime (HPOX) and 6-methylpyridine-2-aldoxime (HMPX) with iron (II) thiocyanate of the type [Fe(L)(NCS)₂] (L=HPOX and HMPX) have been prepared and characterized. A study of X-ray, magnetic, vibrational spectra (conventional and far-infrared), electronic spectra andMössbauer spectra has indicated that these complexes have polymeric, pseudo octahedral, coordination geometry with linear bridging thiocyanate ligands. The electronic spectra of mono complexes show a larger, low symmetry, ligand field than that present in [Fe(L)₂(NCS)₂] complexes. UnperturbedMössbauer spectra show a large quadrupole splitting, E _Q, and smaller isomer shift values in these iron (II) thiocyanate complexes. The magnetically perturbedMössbauer spectra of these iron(II) thiocyanate complexes at room temperature show that the principal component of the electric field gradient tensor is positive and corresponds to ad _xy (⁵B₂) ground state.With 2 Figures     

Mixed ligand five coordinate cobalt(II) complexes of a polymer-bound schiff base derived from 2-aminobenzimidazole

The complexes resulting from the interaction of a new Schiff base ligand derived from crosslinked polystyrene bound benzaldehyde and 2-aminobenzimidazole with a square planar complex [Co(TPP)] (where TPP = meso-tetraphenylporphyrin), and also with tetrahedral complexes [Co(BPBI)₂X₂] (where BPBI = 1-benzyl-2-phenylbenzimidazole, X = Cl, Br, or NCS) have been isolated and characterized. The percentages of cobalt and nitrogen in the complexes show that only one Schiff base unit is coordinated to cobalt. Infrared spectra suggest that the bonding of the polymer ligand to cobalt is through the N-3 atom of the benzimidazole moiety. The EPR spectra indicate that all the complexes are in the low-spin state and have a square pyramidal environment around cobalt(II). © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Solvent extraction of Tm(III) by sulfoxides and mixtures of DPSO (di-N-pentyl sulfoxide) and HTTA (thenoyl-trifluoroacetone) from perchlorate and thiocyanate media

Extraction of Tm(III), from thiocyanate media, by different sulfoxides (R₂SO) has revealed that the extractable complex is Tm(SCN)₃·4 R₂SO. When mixtures of DPSO and HTTA are used for the extraction of Tm(III) from thiocyanate or perchlorate media, synergistic enhancement of the extraction of Tm(III) results. The complexes responsible for the enhanced extraction are Tm(TTA)₃·DPSO and Tm(TTA)₃·2 DPSO when perchlorate media were employed for the extraction and Tm(SCN)(TTA)₂·2 DPSO and Tm(SCN)₂(TTA)·3 DPSO, in addition to the above two when a thiocyanate medium was employed for the extraction. Values of equilibrium constants for some equilibria encountered in the extraction of Am(III) and Tm(III) by mixtures of DPSO and HTTA are given.     

Solvation and reactivity of a helical binuclear iron(II) complex with a tetradentate Schiff-base ligand

Reaction of 2-acetylpyridine, hydrazine, and an iron(II) salt gives a low-spin binuclear iron(II) complex, [Fe₂(pmk)₃]⁴⁺, in which three tetradentate Schiff base ligands span the two metal centres to give a complex of helical geometry. We report solubilities of the iodide and perchlorate salts, in H₂O, in aqueous MeOH, and in aqueous DMSO (perchlorate only), up to 60% by vol of organic cosolvent. Transfer chemical potentials for the complex cation from H₂O into the respective mixed solvents have been derived from these solubilities, to give a picture of solvation of this complex in the media studied. Kinetics of base hydrolysis of [Fe₂(pmk)₃]⁴⁺ have been established, in H₂O and in 40% MeOH, 20 and 40% i -PrOH, and 20 and 40% DMSO, at 298.2 K. The reactivity of [Fe₂(pmk)₃]⁴⁺ is discussed in relation to reactivities of a selection of iron(II)-diimine complexes, ranging from [Fe(bipy)₃]²⁺ and [Fe(phen)₃]²⁺ to ligand-encapsulated cage complexes.     

CHROMOTROPIC CHANGES OF Cu(II) AND Ni(II) COMPLEXES WITH N2O2 AND N3O2 SCHIFF-BASE LIGANDS IN THE SOLID PHASE

Abstract

Four new Schiff-base ligands have been prepared from the condensation of 3-formyl-4-hy-droxy-1,8-naphthyridin-2-one with different diamines and a triamine, H₂L_a-H₂L_d. Two series of Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with the four ligands were also prepared. The ligands and their metal complexes were characterized by chemical analyses, IR, Far-IR, electronic, ESR and mass spectra as well as magnetic measurements and X-ray diffraction patterns.

Different products for Ni(II) and Cu(II) were obtained in similar reactions with the same metal salt, depending on the nature of the ligand. Different geometries were also obtained depending on the counter anion of metal salt. Thus, violet square-planar Cu(II) complexes were obtained with Cu(OAc)₂. H₂O and green octahedral ones with CuCl₂. 2H₂O, except the reaction with ligand H₂L_d which gave only an octahedral product whether the anion was acetate, chloride or perchlorate. Electronic and ESR spectra were used to differentiate between the two geometries of the Cu(II) complexes. The green octahedral Cu(II) complexes undergo irreversible thermochromism to the violet square-planar complexes except the copper complex of the ligand H₂L_d which did not not show any color change and retained its octahedral geometry. Based on the magnetic moments and thermal analyses, only one Ni(II) complex of the Schiffbase ligand H₂L_c undergoes reversible thermochromism from green (octahedral) to red (squareplanar). The reverse change of the thermal product (red) to the parent complex (green) proceeded on exposure to atmospheric air for a few minutes. On the other hand, Ni(II) complexes of ligands H₂L_a and H₂L_b have stable square-planar geometry and all efforts to add other ligands such as H₂O or pyridine to these complexes failed to yield other products. The corresponding Cu(II) complexes were easily transformed to their octahedral geometry by adding H₂O or pyridine and heating.     

Investigation of the iron(II) complex of bis-3,3'-(5,6-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazine)

The reagent, bis-3,3'-(5,6-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazine) (BDMT), forms intensely colored complexes with selected transition metal ions. The reagent is water-soluble and easily prepared. An intense orange complex, Fe(BDMT)₃²⁺;is formed on reaction of iron(II) with the reagent in aqueous solution at pH 4.0–7.0. Nuclear magnetic resonance data show that chelation occurs between the 2,2'-nitrogens of the reagent. The complex exhibits absorption maxima at 408 mμ, with molar absorptivities of 12,000 and 15,000 respectively. The perchlorate salt of the complex is readily extracted into nitrobenzene. A proposed spectrophotometric method for the determination of iron is both accurate and precis

Synthesis and Pyrolytical Solid-Phase Structural Transformations of New Oxorhenium(V) Complexes with 2-Benzoxazolethione

2-Benzoxazolethione reacts with the parent oxorhenium(V) complex, H₂[ReOCl₅], to yield either mononuclear or dinuclear complexes depending on the metal: ligand molar ratio and the concentration of hydrochloric acid containing the parent rhenium complex. The mononuclear complexs [ReOLCl(OH₂)₃]Cl₂, [ReOL₂(OH₂)₃]Cl₃ and [ReOLCl₃(OH₂)]; and dinuclear complexes [Re₂O₃(μ-L)₂Cl₄]·2H₂O and [Re₂O₂(μ-L)L₂Cl₆]-2H₂O were obtained. Both types of complexes have octahedral configurations. The mononuclear complexes prepared in 6N HCl or in 9N HCl undergo irreversible one-step solid-phase thermochromism transformation, thus, the colour of complexes changed from green to brown, black or bluish-green, upon heating. For the complexes obtained in 6N HCl, this step corresponds to structural changes due to the formation of other types of dinuclear complexes, while the mononuclear complex obtained in 9N HCl changes to another mononuclear complex with different coordination sites. On the other hand, the colour of the dinuclear complexes prepared in 2N HCl changed from brown to black, upon heating, in one step solid-phase thermochromism transformation corresponding to a change in the mode of coordination sites of the organic ligand. All thermal products obtained have octahedral configurations. The ligand behaves in these complexes either as a neutral, mono-, bidentate or monoanionic bidentate towards the oxorhenium ions. All complexes and the corresponding thermal products were isolated and their structures were elucidated by elemental analyses, conductance, IR and electronic absorption spectra, magnetic moments, ¹H NMR and TG-DTA measurements as well as by mass spectroscopy.     

Studies on (SCN)2M(NCS)2Hg2(p-tolyl)2 and (SCN)2M(NCS)2Hg2(α-naphthyl)2 and their complexes

p-Tolyl mercury thiocyanate and α-naphthyl mercury thiocyanate react with Co(NCS)₂2py and form a bimetallic pink compound of formula (py)₂(SCN)₂Co(NCS)₂Hg₂R₂ (R = p-tolyl and α-naphthyl group). On heating this compound in vacuum a blue compound (SCN)₂Co(NCS)₂Hg₂R₂ is formed. Nickel analogues (SCN)₂Ni(NCS)₂Hg₂R₂ are formed by direct reaction of p-tolyl or α-naphthyl mercury thiocyanate with nickel thiocyanate. (SCN)₂Co(NCS)₂Hg₂R₂ and (SCN)₂Ni(NCS)₂Hg₂R₂ act as Lewis acids and form complexes with bases. The Lewis acids and their complexes with various bases have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, molecular weight, magnetic moment, infrared and electronic spectral studies. These studies reveal that both the Lewis acids are monomers. In (SCN)₂Co(NCS)₂Hg₂R₂ the CO(II) has tetrahedral geometry, where as in (SCN)₂Ni(NCS)₂Hg₂R₂ the Ni(II) has octahedral geometry through elongated axial bondings with SCN-groups of other molecules. Thiocyanate bridging of the type R-Hg-SCN-M [M = Co(II), Ni(II)] is present in the compounds. Pyridine and dimethylsulphoxide form adducts with these compounds by coordinating at Co(II) or Ni(II). The thiocyanate bridge is retained in these complexes. 2-2′bipyridyl ruptures the thiocyanate bridging in both the Lewis acids and forms cationic-anionic complexes of the type [M(L-L)₃][RHg(SCN)₂]₂. In both the type of complexes Co(II) and Ni(II) possess octahedral environment. The “softness” values have been used in a novel manner in proposing the structure of the complexes.     

Extraction of Perchlorate and Iodide by Ion-Pair Formation with the Iron(II)-di(2-Pyridyl)N,N-DI[(8-quinolyl)amino]methane Complex

Abstract

Di(2-pyridyl)N, N-di[(8-quinolyl)amino]methane (DPQAM) was used for the substoichiometric extraction and photometric determination of perchlorate and iodide in the ranges 10–1000 and 50–1000 ppm, respectively, by extraction of the Fe(DPQAM)₂X₂ (X = C1O₄ ^? or I^?) into chloroform. The determination ranges were found to be dependent on the Fe(II) concentration used.     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Three Novel Macrocyclic Coordination Complexes Formed by Self-assembly of Bridged Bi-or Tetrapyridine with Transition Metal Salts

Serf-assembly of a ferrocenyl-bridged bipyridine ligand bpef [bpef=1, 1＇-bis（trans-2-pyrid-4＇-ylethenyl）ferrocene] with silver triflate in CH2Cl2/MeOH or mercuric diiodide in MeCN/CH2Cl2 gave the corresponding macrocyclic coordination complexes [bpef]2[AgSO3CF3]2 （1） and [bpef]2[Hg3I6] （2） in 93% and 89% yields, respectively, whereas the pentaerythritolyl-bridged tetrapyridine ligand ptpc [ptpc=pentaerythritol tetrakis-（4-pyridinecarboxylate）] reacted with cobalt thiocyanate via self-assembly to afford the macrocyclic coordination polymer [Co（NCS）2（ptpc）], （3） in 90% yield. The X-ray diffraction analyses for 1-3 confirmed their novel macrocyclic structures and revealed that （i） the two silver atoms in complex 1 have an essentially linear geometry with N-Ag-N bond angle of 175.7° and 172.9°, （ii） the geometry of the middle mercury atom in complex 2 is square-planar, while the other two mercury atoms in the other two complexes are tetrahedral, and （iii） all the cobalt atoms in complex 3 adopt an octahedral geometry. In addition, the synthetic procedure for the known tetrapyridine ligand ptpc has been improved.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic and Magnetic Studies on Metal Complexes of 5-Methyl-3-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)Pyrazole

A tridentate ONN donor ligand, 5-methyl-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyrazole; H₂L, was synthesized by reaction of 2-(3-ketobutanoyl)phenol with hydrazine hydrate. The ligand was characterized by IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectra. ¹H NMR spectra indicated the presence of the phenolic OH group and the imine NH group of the heterocyclic moiety. Different types of mononuclear metal complexes of the following formulae [(HL)₂M][sdot]xH₂O (M=VO, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd), [(HL)₂M(H₂O)₂] (M=Mn and UO₂) and [(HL)LFe(H₂O)₂] were obtained. The Fe(III) complex, [(HL)LFe(H₂O)₂] undergoes solvatochromism. Elemental analyses, IR, electronic and ESR spectra as well as thermal, conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements were used to elucidate the structures of the newly prepared metal complexes. A square-pyramidal geometry is suggested for the VO(IV) complex, square-planar for the Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, octahedral for the Fe(III) and Mn(II) complexes and tetrahedral for the Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes, while the UO₂(VI) complex is eight-coordinate. Transmetallation of the UO₂(VI) ion in its mononuclear complex by Fe(III), Ni(II) or Cu(II) ions occurred and mononuclear Fe(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were obtained. IR spectra of the products did not have the characteristic UO₂ absorption band and the electronic spectra showed absorption bands similar to those obtained for the corresponding mononuclear complexes. Also, transmetallation of the Ni(II) ion in its mononuclear complex by Fe(III) has occurred. The antifungal activity of the ligand and the mononuclear complexes were investigated.     

The synthesis and crystal structure of [NiL(NCS)2] (L=3-hydroxyethyl-1,3,5,8,12-pentaazacyclotetradecane)

The reaction of H2CO and H2NCH2CH2OH with the nickel(II) complex of 1,9-diamino-3,7-diazanonane (2,3,2-tet) in the presence of Et3N gives the nickel(II) complex of the macrocycle 3-hydroxyethyl-1,3,5,8,12-pentaazacyclotetradecane (L), which can be readily isolated as the perchlorate salt. The reaction of KCNS with the perchlorate salt in aqueous solution gives [NiL(NCS)2] and the crystal structure of this complex has been determined. The complex is octahedral and trans with the two N-bonded thiocyanates in the axial sites with Ni-NCS bond lengths of 2.106 and 2.145AÅ. The equatorial sites are occupied by N2, N5, N8 and N12 with Ni-N bond distances of 2.053 to 2.076AÅ, which are typical for octahedral nickel(II) complexes. The ligand has a trans III configuration of the sec-NH centres, leading to chair six-membered rings and gauche five-membered rings. The hydroxyethyl group on N3 is axial. There is no evidence for hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the hydroxyethyl group in the crystal lattice.     

Structure determination of zinc iodide complexes formed in aqueous solution

Structures of the complexes formed in aqueous solutions between zinc(II) and iodide ions have been determined from large-angle X-ray scattering, Raman and far-IR measurements. The coordination in the hydrated Zn²⁺ hexaaqua ion and the first iodide complex, [ZnI]⁺, is octahedral, but is changed into tetrahedral in the higher complexes, [ZnI₂(H₂O)₂], [ZnI₃(H₂O)]^– and [ZnI₄]^2–. The Zn-I bond length is 2.635(4)Å in the [ZnI₄]^2– ion and slightly shorter, 2.592(6)Å, in the two lower tetrahedral complexes. In the octahedral [ZnI(H₂O)₅]⁺ complex the Zn-I bond length is 2.90(1)Å. The Zn-O bonding distances in the complexes are approximately the same as that in the hydrated Zn²⁺ ion, 2.10(1)Å.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new metal(II) complexes with methionine sulfoxide

Methionine sulfoxide complexes of iron(II) and copper(II) were synthesized and characterized by chemical and spectroscopic techniques. Elemental and atomic absorption analyses fit the compositions K₂[Fe(metSO)₂]SO₄·H₂O and [Cu(metSO)₂]·H₂O. Electronic absorption spectra of the complexes are typical of octahedral geometries. Infrared spectroscopy suggests coordination of the ligand to the metal through the carboxylate and sulfoxide groups. An EPR spectrum of the Cu(II) complex indicates tetragonal distortion of its octahedral symmetry. ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer parameters are also consistent with octahedral stereochemistry for the iron(II) complex. The complexes are very soluble in water.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation of copper(II) complexes with 5-methyl-1-(2′-pyridyl) pyrazole-3-carboxamide (MPyPzCA): X-ray crystal structure of [Cu(MPyPzCA)2(H2O)](ClO4)2

The coordination mode of the title ligand, MP_yP_zCA (synthesised for the first time and characterised by elemental analyses, mass, IR and PMR spectral parameters), is reported by solid state isolation and physicochemical identification of copper(II) complexes, Cu(MP_yP_zCA)₂X₂.H₂O (X=Cl/Br/NO₃/ClO₄). Magnetic and electronic spectral features classify the reported complexes as six coordinate distorted octahedral ones. IR spectra (4000–200 cm⁻¹) of MP_yP_zCA and its complexes indicate different denticity of the two ligand moities namely neutral bidentate function through pyrazolyl ²N and pyridyl ^1′N of one ligand (A) and the neutral tridentate behaviour through pyrazolyl ²N, pyridyl ^1′N and the amidic oxygen of the second ligand system (B). The sixth apical coordination site is occupied by a water molecule in the perchlorate complex (as evident by X-ray data) or by the counter ion, X (X=Cl/Br/NO₃). The electrochemical studies demonstrate easy oxidative nature of Cu(II) in the reported species. X-ray crystallographic studies of the perchlorate complex, [Cu(MP_yP_zCA)₂(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂, (Pna2₁, orthorhombic), has substantiated the conjecture that the geometry is distorted octahedral. The Cu-N (pyrazolyl) and Cu-N (pyridyl) bond lengths are 2.001(3) and 1.969(3) Å and 2.020(4) and 2.206(4) Å in the ligand systems, A and B. respectively; Cu-O (amidic oxygen) for ligand system B and Cu-O (water) bond lengths are 2.783(3) and 2.010(3) Å, respectively. The crystal structure is highly stabilised through extensive hydrogen bonding.
