Dehydration/Rehydration Processes and the Porous Structure of a Tris(Macrocyclic) Carboxylate Copper(II) Complex

We have established that the crystal hydrate of the tris(macrocyclic) complex of copper with carboxylate, with a porous structure, undergoes stepwise dehydration leading to a change in its crystal lattice structure; but even total dehydration does not lead to loss of porosity in the latter. We have studied the sorption characteristics of the dehydrated sample with respect to water, methanol, and hexane.__________Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Eksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 41, No. 3, pp. 166–170, May–June, 2005.     

The dehydration of copper(II) acetate monohydrate

The thermal dehydration of copper(II) acetate hydrate has been studied between 353 and 406 K, over a range of humidities. The dehydration is controlled by nucleation-and-growth kinetics at low temperatures, with an activation energy of 154 kJ·mol⁻¹, which changes to contracting-disc kinetics at higher temperatures with a lower activation energy of 76 kJ·mol⁻¹. Frequency factors have also been derived; the value for the high temperature process is low (10⁷s⁻¹) and that for the low temperature step is high (10¹⁷s⁻¹). Optical microscopy has been used to clarify the bulk kinetics; there is evidence for a reactive layer at the surface of the decomposing solid. In celebration of the 60^th birthday of Dr Andrew K.

SO3H-Functionalized Ionic Liquids: Green, Efficient and Reusable Catalysts for the Facile Dehydration of Aldoximes into Nitriles

Easily synthesized aldoximes have been converted to the corresponding nitriles under very mild conditions by a simple reaction using two halogen‐free SO₃H‐functionalized ionic liquids, 3‐methyl‐1‐(4‐sulfonic acid)butylimi‐ dazolium hydrogen sulfate [MIM(CH₂)₄SO₃H][HSO₄] and 1‐(4‐sulfonic acid)butylpyridinium hydrogen sulfate [PY(CH₂)₄SO₃H][HSO₄], as catalyst and reaction medium without any additional organic solvent. The method was equally effective for aromatic aldoximes bearing electron‐donating and electron‐withdrawing substituents. Taking into account environmental and economical consideration, the protocol presented here has the merits of environmentally friendly, simple operation, easy work‐up and very good yields. The catalysts could be recycled and reused for several times without noticeably decreasing in their catalytic activities.

The percent coprecipitation of glycine, alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and lysine, being independent of pH in the range of 8.5 to 9.5, was more than 95%.     

Thermal Investigation of the Compounds of the Copper(II) Mono(o-hydroxybenzoate) with Chelate Ligands

Heteroligand complexes of copper(II) were obtained as a result of the reaction of Cu(II) mono (o-hydroxybenzoate) (monohydrate) with 8-hydroxyquinoline (HOx), o-aminophenol (NH₂Ph) and 2,2′-dipyridyl (2,2′-dipy). The mixture of the mono compound with: Cu(II) di(o-aminobenzoate) or Cu(II) di(o-hydroxybenzaldoximate) were obtained by the reaction with o-aminobenzoic acid (H₂A) and o-hydroxybenzaldoxime (H₂Salox). The obtained compounds and their sinters were subjected to chemical, X-ray and thermal analyses. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermal Studies of Copper(II) Squarate Complexes of Diamines in the Solid State

CuL₂C₄O₄ [L=ethane-1,2-diamine (en)], CuL₂C₄O₄⋅2H₂O [L=N-methylethane-1,2-diamine (meen), N-ethylethane-1,2-diamine (eten),N-propylethane-1,2-diamine (pren), N-methyl-N’-ethylethane- 1,2-diamine (meeten) andpropane-1,2-diamine (pn)], CuL₂C₄O₄⋅0.5H₂O [L=N,N’-dimethylethane- 1,2-diamine (dmeen)], CuL₂C₄O₄⋅4H₂O [L=propane-1,2-diamine (pn)]and CuL₂C₄O₄⋅H₂O[L=2-methylpropane-1,2-diamine (ibn)] have been synthesized by the addition of respective diamine to finely powdered CuC₄O₄⋅2H₂O and their thermal studies have been carried out in the solid state. Cu(en)₂C₄O₄ upon heating loses one molecule of diamine with shar pcolour change yielding Cu(en)C₄O₄ which upon further heating transforms to unidentified products. All aquated-bis-diamine species [CuL₂C₄O₄⋅2H₂O, CuL₂C₄O₄⋅0.5H₂O and CuL₂C₄O₄⋅H₂O] upon heating undergo deaquation–anation reaction in the solid state showing thermochromism and transform to CuL₂C⁴O₄, which revert on exposure to humid atmosphere (RH ∼90%). All the squarato bis-diamine species, CuL₂C₄O₄, on further heating transform to unidentified products through the formation of CuLC₄O₄ as intermediates. The mono diamine species, have been isolated pyrolytically in the solid state and can be stored in a desiccator as well as in open atmosphere. They are proposed to be polymeric.

Copper(II) Complexes with Chiral Diaminodiamido Ligands: Solution and Structural Studies

Abstract

Three diaminodiamido ligands (S,S)-N,N′-bis(prolyl)ethanediamine (ProNN-2), (S,S)-N,N′-bis(N-methylvalyl)ethanediamine (Me₂ValNN-2), and (S,S)-N,N′-bis(N-methylphenylalanyl)-ethanediamine (Me₂PheNN-2) were synthesised and their complex formation equilibria with copper(II) investigated in aqueous solution by potentiometry and, for ProNN-2, by electronic spectrophotometry. ProNN-2 forms the species [CuLH]³⁺, [Cu₂L₂]⁴⁺, [Cu₂L₂H_?2]²⁺ and [CuLH_?2], Me₂PheNN-2 forms the complexes [CuLH]³⁺, [Cu₂L₂H_?2]²⁺ and [CuLH_?2], whereas Me₂ValNN-2 forms the monomer [CuLH_?1]⁺ but not the dimer. The dimeric cation [Cu₂L₂H_?2]²⁺, of Me₂PheNN-2 has severe steric requirements, as demonstrated by the X-ray crystal structure of the complex [Cu₂L₂H_?2]Cl₂· 12H₂O, of the corresponding non-methylated ligand. Since copper(II) complexes of the ligands examined are used as additives to the mobile phase to perform chiral resolution of D,L-amino acids in RP-HPLC, the present results provide valuable clues to an understanding of the mechanism of the enantiomeric separation.

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Magnetic Properties of Carboxylate-Bridged Copper(II) Complexes with Bis(2-Pyridylmethyl)Amino Acids

Tetradentate Schiff-base carboxylate-containing ligands, bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino-5-valeric acid (Hpmva) and bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino-6-caproic acid (Hpmca), react with copper(II) perchlorate to give rise to the carboxylated bridged chain complexes {[Cu(μ-pmva)(H₂O)](ClO₄)}_n (1) and {[Cu(μ-pmca)(H₂O)](ClO₄)}_n (2). These complexes have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic, and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. In 1 and 2, each of the copper(II) ions exhibit CuN₃O₂ coordination environments with the three nitrogen atoms of the ligand and one oxygen atom belonging to the carboxylate group of an adjacent molecule occupying the basal position and a water molecule coordinated in the axial position. The electronic spectra of the complexes are significantly affected by the coordination geometry. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that complexes exhibit very weak ferromagnetic interactions.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Complexes with Schiff Base (1R,2R)-(-)-Diaminocyclohexane-N,N'-bis(3-tert-butyl-5-(4'-benzoic acid)-salicylidene)

Two homochiral metallosalen complexes, Ni(salen) (salen = (1R,2R)-(-)-diaminocyclohexane-N,N'-bis(3-tert-butyl-5-(4'-benzoic acid)-salicylidene) 1 and Cu(salen) 2, have been synthesized and characterized by IR, microanalysis, TGA, powder and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Both 1 and 2 crystallize in orthorhombic space group P21212 with Z = 4. For 1, a = 12.082(2), b = 15.447(3), c = 18.784(4) , V = 3505.7(12) 3, Mr = 731.50, Dc = 1.386 g/cm3, μ = 0.606 mm–1, F(000) = 1544, the final GOOF = 1.043, R = 0.0496 and wR = 0.1248 for 4791 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). For 2, a = 12.181(2), b = 15.501(3), c = 18.877(4) , V = 3564.3(12) 3, Mr = 736.33, Dc = 1.372 g/cm3, μ = 0.665 mm–1, F(000) = 1548, the final GOOF = 1.062, R = 0.0575 and wR = 0.1508 for 4562 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The crystal structures of 1 and 2 are isostructural with very similar supramolecular structures. An infinite two-dimensional network is generated by hydrogen bonding interactions and intermolecular π···π interactions.     

Development and Validation of Catalytic Kinetic Spectrophotometric Method for Determination of Copper(II)

A catalytic kinetic spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of trace amounts of Cu(II). It is based on the catalytic effect of Cu(II) on the oxidation of cysteine (RSH) by hexacyanoferrate(III) in acidic medium. The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of hexacyanoferrate(III) at 420nm. The optimum operating conditions regarding concentration of reagents, pH and temperature were established. The working curve is linear in the concentration range of 0–6.35ng·mL^–1. The maximum percentage error and standard deviation for determination of Cu(II) in the range of 1.27–6.35ng·mL^–1 have been calculated to be 3.9 and 0.4 respectively. The detection limit calculated was 0.15ng·mL^–1. The interference effect of several species was also investigated, and it was found that the most common cations and anions do not interfere with the determination. The developed procedure was successfully applied to the determination of Cu(II) in various synthetic and real samples. The typical feature of this procedure is that determination can be carried out at 25°C and/or in the absence of any precision thermostatic bath in the very short analysis time of one minute. The newly developed method was found to have fairly good selectivity, sensitivity, simplicity and rapidity compared to other kinetic methods.Received October 8, 2002; accepted April 7, 2003 Published online July 16, 2003     

N-Arylation of 3-Formylquinolin-2(1H)-ones Using Copper(II)-Catalyzed Chan–Lam Coupling

3-formyl-2-quinolones have attracted the scientific community’s attention because they are used as versatile building blocks in the synthesis of more complex compounds showing different and attractive biological activities. Using copper-catalyzed Chan–Lam coupling, we synthesized 32 new N-aryl-3-formyl-2-quinolone derivatives at 80 °C, in air and using inexpensive phenylboronic acids as arylating agents. 3-formyl-2-quinolones and substituted 3-formyl-2-quinolones can act as substrates, and among the products, the p-methyl derivative 9a was used as a substrate to obtain different derivatives such as alcohol, amine, nitrile, and chalcone.     

Self-Assembly of Antiferromagnetically-Coupled Copper(II) Supramolecular Architectures with Diverse Structural Complexities

The self-assembly of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol (DFMP) and 1-amino-2-propanol (AP)/2-amino-1,3-propanediol (APD) in the presence of copper(II) ions results in the formation of six new supramolecular architectures containing two versatile double Schiff base ligands (H₃L and H₅L1) with one-, two-, or three-dimensional structures involving diverse nuclearities: tetranuclear [Cu₄(HL²⁻)₂(N₃)₄]·4CH₃OH·56H₂O (1) and [Cu₄(L³⁻)₂(OH)₂(H₂O)₂] (2), dinuclear [Cu₂(H₃L1²⁻)(N₃)(H₂O)(NO₃)] (3), polynuclear {[Cu₂(H₃L1²⁻)(H₂O)(BF₄)(N₃)]·H₂O}_n (4), heptanuclear [Cu₇(H₃L1²⁻)₂(O)₂(C₆H₅CO₂)₆]·6CH₃OH·44H₂O (5), and decanuclear [Cu₁₀(H₃L1²⁻)₄(O)₂(OH)₂(C₆H₅CO₂)₄] (C₆H₅CO₂)₂·20H₂O (6). X-ray studies have revealed that the basic building block in 1, 3, and 4 is comprised of two copper centers bridged through one μ-phenolate oxygen atom from HL²⁻ or H₃L1²⁻, and one μ-1,1-azido (N₃⁻) ion and in 2, 5, and 6 by μ-phenoxide oxygen of L³⁻ or H₃L1²⁻ and μ-O²⁻ or μ₃-O²⁻ ions. H-bonding involving coordinated/uncoordinated hydroxy groups of the ligands generates fascinating supramolecular architectures with 1D-single chains (1 and 6), 2D-sheets (3), and 3D-structures (4). In 5, benzoate ions display four different coordination modes, which, in our opinion, is unprecedented and constitutes a new discovery. In 1, 3, and 5, Cu(II) ions in [Cu₂] units are antiferromagnetically coupled, with J ranging from −177 to −278 cm⁻¹.
