N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine (LH₂), N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-2,2′-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (LDMH₂), N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine (LOH₃), N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyacetophenylidene)-1,3-propanediamine (LACH₂) and N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyacetophenone)-2,2′-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (LACDMH₂) were synthesized and reduced to their phenol-amine form in alcoholic media using NaBH₄ (L^HH₂, LDM^HH₂, LOH^HH₂, LAC^HH₂ and LACDM^HH₂). Heterodinuclear complexes were synthesized using Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) salts, according to the template method in DMF media. The complex structures were analyzed using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry. Suitable crystals of only one complex were obtained and its structure determined using X-ray diffraction, NiLAC^H·CdBr₂·DMF₂, space group orthorhombic, Pbca, a=20.249, b=14.881, c=20.565 ? and Z=8. The heterodinuclear complexes were seen to be of [Ni·ligand·MX₂·DMF₂] structure (ligand=L^H2−, LDM^H2−, LOH^H2−, LAC^H2−, LACDM^H2−, M=Zn^II, Cd^II, X=Br⁻, I⁻). Thermogravimetric analysis showed irreversible bond breakage of the coordinatively bonded DMF molecules followed by decomposition at this temperature.

Three new potentially hexadentate N₄O₂ Schiff-base ligands (H₂L¹, H₂L² and H₂L³) were prepared from the reaction of the polyamines N,N′-bis(2-aminophenyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (L¹), N,N′-bis(2-aminophenyl)-1,3-propanediamine (L²) and N,N′-bis(2-aminophenyl)-1,4-butanediamine (L³), respectively with salicylaldehyde. Reaction of the Schiff bases with Ni(II) salts in the presence of N(Et)₃ gave the neutral complexes [NiL⁴], [NiL⁵] and [NiL⁶]. Ni(II) complexes of the polyamines were also prepared. One of complexes [Ni(L¹)(MeCN)₂](ClO₄)₂·MeCN has been characterized through X-ray diffraction methods.     

One-dimensional coordination polymer of copper(I) thiocyanate with the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)butane-1,4-diamine: synthesis, crystal structure, spectroscopic and thermal properties

Abstract  

A new one-dimensional polymeric copper(I)–thiocyanate complex with the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)butane-1,4-diamine, {Cu₂((μ _N,N′ -3,4-MeO-ba)₂bn)(μ_1,3-NCS)₂} _n , was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, FT–IR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. The thermal behavior of the complex was studied using thermogravimetry in order to evaluate thermal stability and thermal decomposition pathways. The molecular structure of the complex was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction which revealed that the coordination geometry around the copper(I) ion is distorted trigonal. The Schiff base ligand (3,4-MeO-ba)₂bn acts as a bis-monodentate and bridging ligand (μ _N,N′ ) and coordinates via two N atoms to the metal centers and adopts an E,E conformation. The coordination spheres of the metal atoms are completed by the N and S atoms from two thiocyanate anion bridges (μ_1,3-NCS), forming a zigzag chain propagating along [001].     

Nickel(II) salophen-type complexes characterization and their thermodynamic studies with diorganotin(IV) dichlorides in chloroform

A u.v.–vis spectrophotometric study of the adduct formation of the nickel(II) Schiff base complexes,([NiL]) where L = [3-methoxysalophen, N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediimine] (1), [4-methoxysalophen, N,N′-bis(4-methoxysalicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediimine] (2), [5-methoxysalophen, N,N′-bis(5-methoxysalicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediimine] (3) and [Salophen, [N,N′-bis(salicylaldehydo)-1,2-phenylenediimine] (4) as donors with R₂SnCl₂ (R = methyl, phenyl and n-butyl) as acceptors have been investigated in chloroform, as solvent. Adducts have been characterized by ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, IR and electronic spectroscopy and CHN elemental microanalysis. The formation constants and the thermodynamic free energies were measured using u.v.–vis spectrophotometry titration for 1:1 adduct formation at various temperatures (T = 278 to 308 K). The trend of the adduct formation of the nickel Schiff base complexes with a given tin acceptor decreases as follows:

Volumetric and Viscometric Studies of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-Bis(salicylaldehyde)-1,3-diaminopropane Schiff Base (Salpr) in Ionic Liquid + DMF solutions

The apparent molar volumes and viscosities of N,N′-bis(salicylaldehyde)-1,3-diaminopropane Schiff base (Salpr) have been determined in ionic liquid {1-pentyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([PnMIm]Br)} + N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions at 298.15 K from density and viscosity measurements using a vibrating tube densimeter and übbelohde type viscometer, respectively. These data have been used to calculate standard partial molar volumes, V_f ⁰V_{\phi} ^{0}, transfer partial molar volumes, Δ_tr V ⁰, and viscosity B-coefficients of the solutions. The transfer partial molar volumes are negative, and decrease with increasing the concentration of ionic liquid for all of the investigated solutions. It found that this ionic liquid interacts strongly with the Schiff base (Salpr) and has desolvation effect on the Schiff base molecules.     

Photochemical reactions of M(CO)5THF (M = Cr, Mo, W) with thio Schiff bases

The hitherto unknown complexes, [M₂(CO)₆(μ-CO)(μ-L)], [M = Cr; 1, Mo; 2, W; 3] and [M₂(CO)₆(μ-CO)(μ-L′)], [M = Cr; 4, Mo; 5, W; 6] have been synthesized by the photochemical reactions of photogenerated intermediate, M(CO)₅THF (M = Cr, Mo, W) with thio Schiff base ligands, N,N′-bis(2-aminothiophenol)-1,4-bis(2-carboxaldehydephenoxy)butane (H ₂ L) and N,N′-bis(2-aminothiophenol)-1,7-bis(2-formylphenyl)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane (H ₂ L′). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, LC-mass spectrometry, magnetic studies, FT-IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic studies show that H ₂ L and H ₂ L′ ligands are converted to benzothiazole derivatives, L and L′ after UV irradiation and coordinated to the central metal as bridging ligands via the central azomethine nitrogen and sulphur atoms in 1–6.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Properties of Two Macrocyclic Dinuclear Complexes

Two macrocyclic dinuclear complexes, [Cu₂L¹](PF₆)₂ and [Cu₂L²](ClO₄)₂, were synthesized by cyclo-condensation between N,N′-bis(3-formyl-5-methylsalicylidene)ethylenediimine or N,N′- bis(3-formyl-5-n-butylsalicylidene)ethylenediimine and ethylenediamine in the presence of Cu²⁺ ions. The crystal structures of the complexes were studied. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities and cyclic voltammograms of the complexes were measured. The magnetic and electrochemical properties of the complexes were discussed. The results show that the complexes display very strong antiferromagnetic exchanges and that all copper(II) complexes undergo a one-electron transfer process.

The Schiff base N,N-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylmethylidene)-2,6-pyridinediamine has been synthesized and characterized in the solid state and in solution using X-ray analysis, IR, UV/Vis, and NMR spectroscopy. Crystal data: C₂₁H₁₉N₃O₄, M _r = 377.39, orthorhombic, space group Pnc2, a = 4.9288(8), b = 8.8873(19), c = 20.870(5) Å, V = 914.19(20) ų, Z = 2, R = 0.0387, R _w = 0.0530, 1845 independent reflections, 778 with I > 2(I). There are two intramolecular hydrogen bonds O—H-N between the hydroxyl and imino groups of 2.622(3) Å. The enolimine form is found in the solid state and is also the predominant tautomeric form in solution.

Fluxional rearrangement in congested ruthenium(II) complexes containing pyrimidine- and/or pyridine-based dithioether ligands

The solvento species obtained by the treatment of cis-RuCl₂(N,N-L)₂ [L = di-2-pyridyl sulfide (dps), di-2-pyrimidyl sulfide (dprs)] with AgPF₆, reacted with dithioethers L′ [L′ = 2,6-bis(2-pyridylthiomethyl)pyridine (pytmp), 2,6-bis(2-pyrimidylthiomethyl)pyridine (prtmp) and 2,6-bis{2-(4-methyl)pyrimidylthiomethyl} pyridine (mprtmp)] to afford the compounds [Ru(N,N-L)₂(N,S-L′)][PF₆]₂. The ¹H NMR spectra indicate that L′ is chelated through S and N atoms with the formation of a four-membered ring. As a consequence, the ruthenium and sulfur atoms are stereogenic centers with ∆ and Λ and (R) and (S) configurations, respectively. NMR spectra, at low temperatures, show that two invertomers, of similar abundance, as enantiomeric couples ∆S, ΛR and ∆R, ΛS are present. In the methylene region, four AB systems are observed that in both the species contain two non-equivalent methylene groups. Variable-temperature NMR spectra and EXSY experiments show that the sulfur inversion produces an exchange between the invertomers. The one-dimensional band-shape analysis of the exchanging methylene signals showed that the energy barriers for the process are in the 43–52 kJ mol⁻¹ range. The possible mechanisms of the sulfur inversion are discussed.     

Metallation of tetradentate N<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> Schiff base with Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II): synthesis,characterization and formation constants measurement

Four Schiff base ligands, salabza-H₂ = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-2-aminobenzylamine, were synthesized by condensation of one mole of 2-aminobenzylamine and two moles of salicylaldehyde and/or two moles of substituted salicylaldehyde (5-OMe, 5-Br, 5-NO₂). All the four Schiff bases and their Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes are characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The formation constants and the Gibbs free energies were measured spectrophotometrically for 1:1 complexes in methanol in constant ionic strength (I = 0.1 mol dm⁻³ NaClO₄) and at 25°C. The data refinement was carried out with the SQUAD program. The trend of formation constants of H₂L¹ with M(II) follows the order: Mn(II) (3.97) < Zn(II) (4.30) < Co(II) (4.89) < Cu(II) (5.73)     

Self-assembly as a route to dinuclear lanthanide complexes with rare coordination pattern of salen-type ligand

The self-assembled formation of dinuclear lanthanide salicylaldimines is proved by the X-ray diffraction analysis of europium and gadolinium nitrate complexes containing N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-4-methyl-1,3-phenylenediamine (H₂L). The [Eu₂(H₂L)₂(μ-H₂L)₂(NO₃)₆] complex, isostructural with the gadolinium complex, displays nine-coordinate distorted tricapped trigonal prism geometry with a different coordination mode of four undeprotonated salicylaldimines, which act as terminal monodentate and μ-bridging ditopic ligands using exclusively the oxygens as donor atoms with the nitrogen atoms not being involved in the coordination environment. These complexes along with similar lanthanum, erbium, thulium, and lutetium complexes were prepared in situ in a one-step metal promoted condensation reaction between salicylaldehyde and 4-methyl-1,3-phenylenediamine in the presence of lanthanide nitrates. They were isolated and characterized by microanalysis and spectroscopic (IR, ESI–MS, UV–Vis, and ¹H NMR) data with reference to the preformed N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-4-methyl-1,3-phenylenediamine, which was obtained separately and structurally determined by single crystal X-ray analysis.

Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) chelates with 1-aminoethylidenediphosphonic acid (AEDP, H₄L¹), α-amino benzylidene diphosphonic acid (ABDP, H₄L²), 1-amino-2-carboxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid (ACEDP, H₅L³), 1,3-diaminopropane-1,1,3,3-tetraphosphonicacid (DAPTP, H₈L⁴), ethylenediamine-N,N′-bis(dimethylmethylene phosphonic)acid (EDBDMPO, H₄L⁵), O-phenylenediamine-N,N′-bis(dimethyl methylene phosphonic)acid (PDBDMPO, H₄L⁶), diethylene triamine-N,N,N′,N′,N″N″-penta(methylene phosphonic)acid (DETAPMPO, H₁₀L⁷) and diethylene triamine-N,N″-bis(dimethyl methylene phosphonic)acid (DETBDMPO, H₄L⁸) have been synthesised and were characterised by elemental and thermal analyses as well as by IR, UV–VIS, EPR and magnetic measurements. The first stage in the thermal decomposition process of these complexes shows the presence of water of hydration, the second denotes the removal of the coordinated water molecules. After the loss of water molecules, the organic part starts decomposing. The final decomposition product has been found to be the respective MO·P₂O₅. The data of the investigated complexes suggest octahedral geometry with respect to Co(II) and Ni(II) and tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry with respect to Cu(II). Antiferromagnetism has been inferred from magnetic moment data. Infrared spectral studies have been carried out to determine coordination sites.

The standard (p ⁰=0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, at T=298.15 K, in the gaseous phase, for three tetradentate Schiff bases involving a N₂O₂ set, N,N’-bis(salicylaldehydo)cyclohexanediimine (H₂salch), N,N’-bis(acetylacetone)cyclohexanediimine (H₂acacch) and N,N’-bis(benzoylacetone)cyclohexanediimine (H₂bzacch), were determined from their enthalpies of combustion and sublimation, obtained by static bomb calorimetry in oxygen and by the Knudsen effusion technique, respectively. The results are compared with identical parameters for related compounds previously studied, resulting from the condensation of salicylaldehyde or β-diketone with aliphatic diamines.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the homogeneous reaction between some manganese(III)-Schiff base complexes and hydrogen peroxide in aqueous and sodium dodecyl sulphate solutions

Summary The kinetics of the reaction between H₂O₂ and some Schiff base complexes of Mn^III have been investigated in both aqueous and micellar sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) solution. The reaction rate is first order in both H₂O₂ and [complex], and inversely proportional to [H⁺]. The second-order rate constant increases in the sequence [Mn(salophen)(OAc)] > [Mn(salen)(OH₂)]-ClO₄ > [Mn(salen)(OAc)]H₂O, where salen = N,N-bis-(salicylidene)ethylenediamine and salophen = N,N-bis-(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine. At SDS concentrations below the critical micellar concentration, there is almost no effect on the rate of reaction whereas at higher concentrations the reaction rate increases slightly. A mechanism involving Mn^II and a peroxo intermediate is proposed.     

The synthesis and characterization of copper(II)–<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-aminosalicylate complexes with diamine ligands

The complexes were synthesized by the reaction between sodium salt of p-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) and Cu(II) for 1 and corresponding ethylenediamine (en) or its derivatives for 2–6. The complexes were characterized by using elemental analyses, FT-IR, UV–Vis, magnetic moment measurements, and thermal analyses techniques. In complex 1[Cu₂(PA)₄(H₂O)₂], two Cu(II) ions were found as bridged by four μ-O:O′ p-aminosalicylato (PA) ligands, forming a cage structure, and two aqua ligands to form dinuclear square-pyramidal geometry around Cu(II) ions. In the complexes 2–6, the PA (anionic form of p-aminosalicylic acid) coordinated to Cu(II) ions as monodentate manner by using its oxygen atom of deprotonated carboxylic acid and ethylenediamine derivatives coordinated to the Cu(II) ions in bidentate manner to form mononuclear octahedral complexes [Cu(PA)₂(L)₂] (L = ethylendiamine, N,N-dimethylethylendiamine, N,N′-dimethylethylendiamine, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylendiamine, and 1,3-propanediamine, for complexes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively). In all the complexes OH and NH₂ groups of PA ligands were not coordinated to metals.
