Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Zinc(II) and Nickel(II) Complexes Involving Reduced Nitroxide Radicals

1 INTRODUCTION The synthesis of new molecular magnetic mate- rials that combine transition metal ions and pure organic radicals as ligating sites has attracted much more attention in the last few years[1~4]. Nitronyl ni- troxide radicals, independently or in combination with metal ions, have been one of the most studied systems in molecular magnetism for understanding the radical-radical or metal-radical interactions as well as for synthesizing organic ferromagnets and metal-radical magne…     

Synthesis,structure and properties of three one-dimensional coordination polymers {[M(II)L(NCS)2](DMF)2} n (M(II)=cadmium(II), zinc(II), manganese(II); L=1,4-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazolato]butane)

A tetradentate N-donor ligand 1,4-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazolato]butane (L) was prepared for construction of a coordination framework. Three one-dimensional coordination polymers {[M(II)L(NCS)₂](DMF)₂} _n (M(II) = cadmium(II), 1, zinc(II), 2, manganese(II), 3) were obtained by reaction of metal ions and L in the presence of KSCN in DMF/water. The complexes are isostructural and consist of 1D zigzag [M(II)L(NCS)₂] _n chains and DMF molecules. Within the chains, the metal atoms are each octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms of L and two N atoms of the SCN^? anions. Complexes 1 and 2 in the solid state at room temperature exhibit intense photoluminescence at 453 and 433 nm, respectively.     

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.

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.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemistry Properties of a (N,N'-Ethylene-bis(salicylaldiminato)) Nickel(II) Complex, [Ni_2(salen)_2]·NCS·NH_4

A new Ni(II) complex [Ni2(salen)2]·(NCS)·NH4 (salen = N,N’-bis(salicylidenea- mino)ethanato) has been prepared and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbca with a = 16.8725(13), b = 19.0046(15), c = 20.0583(16) , Z = 8, V = 6431.8(9) 3, C33H32N6Ni2O4S1, Mr = 726.13, Dc = 1.500 g/cm3, F(000) = 3008, μ = 1.284 mm-1, the final R = 0.0394 and wR = 0.0767 for 4449 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The complex involves a N,N’-ethylene-bis(salicylaldiminato) Schiff base, an isothiocyanato anion and an ammonium cation. The nickle(II) ion adopts a distorted square coordination geometry with N2O2 set of Schiff base ligand. The complexes are linked into a dimmer via intermolecular hydrogen bonds and the [Ni(salen)] moieties are connected together to form a 2-D layer structure by intermolecular N–H…O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking. Cyclic-voltammetry method was used to characterize electrochemically the complex.

Synthesis and characterization of Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes with a new tetraazamacrocyclic Schiff base ligand containing a piperazine moiety: X-ray crystal structure determination of the Co(II) complex

Two macrocyclic Schiff base ligands, L¹ [1+1] and L² [2+2], have been obtained in a one-pot cyclocondensation of 1,4-bis(2-formylphenyl)piperazine and 1,3-diaminopropane. Unfortunately, because of the low solubility of both ligands, their separation was unsuccessful. In the direct reaction of these mixed ligands (L¹ and L²) and the appropriate metal ions only [CoL¹(NO₃)]ClO₄, [NiL¹](ClO₄)₂, [CuL¹](ClO₄)₂ and [ZnL¹(NO₃)]ClO₄ complexes have been isolated. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, FAB-MS, conductivity measurements and in the case of the [ZnL¹(NO₃)]ClO₄ complex with NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and structures of nickel(II) and copper(II) compounds of 5,5,7,13-tetramethyl-13-nitro-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane and the 13-ethyl-5,5,7-trimethyl-homologue

Reduction by NaBH₄ of the imine functions of (5,7,7,13-tetramethyl-13-nitro-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-4-ene)-nickel(II) and -copper(II), and of their 13-ethyl-5,7,7-trimethyl-homologues, yield the nitro-substituted cyclic tetraamine cations (5,5,7,13-tetramethyl-13-nitro-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)-nickel(II) and -copper(II), [M(neh)]²⁺, and (13-ethyl-5,5,7-trimethyl-homologues, [M(nph)]²⁺, respectively. The nickel(II) cations form square–planar, singlet ground, state salts with poorly coordinating anions and octahedral, triplet ground state, compounds with additional ligands, trans-β-[Ni(neh)A₂], A⁻ = Cl⁻, NCS⁻ and trans-β-[Ni(neh)A₂](ClO₄)₂, X = NH₃, MeCN, all with nitrogen configuration III, 1R,4R,8S,11S = β. With oxalate the chain-polymeric compound catena-trans-β-[Ni(neh)(μ-C₂O₄)]_n · 3n(H₂O) is formed. Folded macrocycle compounds cis-α-[Ni(neh)(C₅H₇O₂)]ClO₄ and cis-α-[{Ni(neh)}₂(C₂O₄)](ClO₄)₂ are formed with the chelates acetylacetonate and oxalate, with configuration 1R,4R,8R,11R = α. These react with HClO₄ to form metastable α-[Ni(neh)](ClO₄)₂ with retention of configuration. The copper(II) cations form crimson salts with poorly coordinating anions and compounds of the type β-[Cu(neh)A]ClO₄ of varying shades of blue with coordinating anions. Structures of singlet ground state square–planar nickel(II) compounds β-[Ni(neh)](ClO₄)₂ · H₂O, β-[Ni(neh)](ClO₄)₂, β-[Ni(neh)]₂[ZnCl₃(OH₂)]₂[ZnCl₄] · H₂O and α-[Ni(neh)](ClO₄)₂, the triplet ground state chain-polymeric compound catena-trans-β-[Ni(neh)(μ-C₂O₄)]_n · 3n(H₂O) and of square–pyramidal β-[Cu(nph)Cl]ClO₄ are reported.     

Effect of Diamine Bridge on Reactivity of Tetradentate ONNO Nickel(II) Complexes

Two new square planar ONNO nickel(II) complexes C2_core and C3_core have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and DFT calculations. The experimental results revealed the effect of the length of diamine bridge in the ligand on the behavior of the studied complexes in the reaction with N-heterocyclic aromatic amines, while DFT calculations provided a basis for the rationalization of this observation. The complex with propylenediamine bridge ( C3_core ) readily reacts with pyridine and its derivatives to form high-spin (paramagnetic) complexes with octahedral geometry as characterized by X-ray diffraction; electron-donating substituents on the pyridine ring facilitate the coordination of axial ligands. In contrast, the complex with ethylenediamine bridge ( C2_core) does not undergo such a reaction because of the high deformation energy of the core required for the formation of C2_Py complex.     

Synthesis,crystal structures and spectral properties of cobalt (Ⅱ) complexes:[ CoL (N_3) ] ·ClO_4 and CoL (N_3)_2 [L=tris ((3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl) methyl) amine

Two monomeric cobalt(Ⅱ)complexes,[CoL(N3)] ClO4(1)and CoL(N3)2(2),where L is tris((3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methyl)amine,were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction technique.Complex 1 is five coordinated with one azide nitrogen atom and four nitrogen atoms of the tris((3,5-dimethylpyrazol-l-yl)-methyl)amine ligand,and the metal center is in distorted trigonal bipyramidal environment.Complex 2 is six coordinated distorted octahedron with the two azide nitrogen atoms and four nitrogen donors of the tris((3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-methyl)amine ligand.The solution behaviors of the title complexes have been further investigated by UV-Vis,and 1H NMR analysis.It is found that the formation of 1 and 2 depends on the molar ratio of the azide ion to metal salt and ligand Complex 1 attached with one azide group is more stable and easy to generate than complex 2 incorporated with two azide groups,and the reasons were well discussed.     

Synthesis,structures, and characterization of copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(III) metal complexes derived from an asymmetric bidentate Schiff-base ligand

An asymmetric bidentate Schiff-base ligand (2-hydroxybenzyl-2-furylmethyl)imine (L–OH) was prepared. Three complexes derived from L–OH were synthesized by treating an ethanolic solution of the appropriate ligand with an equimolar amount of metallic salt. Three complexes, Cu₂(L–O^?)₂Cl₂ (1), Ni(L–O^?)₂ (2) and Co(L–O^?)₃ (3), have been structurally characterized through elemental analysis, IR, UV spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows metal ions and ligands reacted with different proportions 1?:?1, 1?:?2 and 1?:?3, respectively, so copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(III) have different geometries.

Syntheses and crystal structures of nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes with a biphenyl-bridged bis(pyrrole-2-yl-methyleneamine) ligand

The reactions of nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) acetate salts with a potentially tetradentate biphenyl-bridged bis(pyrrole-2-yl-methyleneamine) ligand yielded three complexes with different coordination geometries. X-ray crystal structural analysis reveals that in the nickel(II) complex each nickel is five-coordinate, distorted trigonal bipyramid. In the copper(II) complex, each copper is four-coordinate, between square planar and tetrahedral. In the zinc(II) complex, each zinc is four-coordinate with a distorted tetrahedral geometry and the molar ratio of the zinc and ligand is 1 : 2.

The final R value for this complex was 0.034 for 2223 observed reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ (I). The Cu(II) coordination is a distorted square pyramid. The Cu(II) ion is five-coorinated with the diazadioxime N atoms equatorial and water O atom axial. The Cu(II) is 0.12 Å from the equatorial plane towards the hydrate. The equatorial Cu-N distances span a narrow range, 1.953(3)-1.999(3) Å. The axial Cu-O distance is 2.314(3) Å. The thiocyanate group is almost linear. The intramolecular O ?O hydrogen bond length is 2.479(4) Å. [Ni(meso-HM-PAO-H)](ClO₄) crystallizes in space group P2₁/c with a = 14.774(3), b = 12.752(3), c = 20.035(4) Å, β = 92.94(3)°, Z = 8 and Dc = 1.51 g/cm³. The final R value for the complex was 0.053 for 4794 observed reflections with F ≥ 4σ (F). The coordination about Ni(II) is a slightly distorted square plane. The Ni(II) ion is 0.0673(7) Å from the best plane of the four donor nitrogen atoms away from the perchlorate ion. The Ni-N distances span a narrow range 1.863(4)-1.927(4) Å. There are two molecules per asymmetrical unit resulting in eight molecules being packed in an unit cell; they are bound together by van der Waals interactions. The O-H ?O bonds of these complexes give characteristic infrared absorptions as well as chemical shift of the ¹H NMR signal (Ni complex).

The geometry of the coordination sphere is usually planar in the case of Ni, but of Cu, a tetrahedral distortion is often observed.[…     

Catenated polymeric molecular patterns in structures of two calcium(II) complexes with pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylate (quinolinic) and water ligands

The structure of triclinic catena-tetraquo(μ-pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylato-N,O; O′)calcium(II) is composed of two symmetry independent Ca(II) ions and two independent ligand molecules. Each Ca(II) is coordinated by a N,O-bonding moiety of a ligand, four water oxygens, and a carboxylate oxygen donated by an adjacent bridging ligand. The resulting molecular ribbons are propagating in the [010] crystal direction. Both Ca(II) ions are eight coordinate forming a capped pentagonal bipyramidal with strongly distorted pentagonal equatorial planes. Hydrogen bonds between carboxylate oxygens and coordinated waters are responsible for the stability of the structure. The orthorhombic structure of catena-trisaquo[(μ-2, 3-dicarboxypyridin-1-ium-O,O′; O′′) (H pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylato-N,O)]calcium(II) is composed of molecular ribbons in which the bridging of Ca(II) ions occurs through a ligand using one bidentate carboxylate. The other carboxylate of this ligand donates only one O atom to Ca(II), the second remaining inactive. A proton is attached to the hetero-nitrogen. Each Ca(II) is also chelated by a N,O-bonding moiety of a second ligand, which does not bridge and its second carboxylate remains protonated. Three water oxygen atoms complete the coordination around the Ca(II) ion to eight. The resulting coordination polyhedron is a capped pentagonal bipyramid with a strongly distorted equatorial plane. Hydrogen bonds in which coordinated waters act as donors are responsible for the stability of the structure.     

Thermochemical Properties of Neutral Complexes in Layer Silicates I. [Ni(4-Etpy)4(NCS)2] complex in montmorillonite and pillared montmorillonites

The stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and enthalpy and structural changes were studied for the compounds formed by penetration of [Ni(4-Etpy)4(NCS)2] (I) into Ca-montmorillonite (II) or Cr-, Zr- and Al-pillared analogues (III, IV and V, respectively). The mass fractions of complex I in II, III, IV or V are different. It was found for all studied compounds that the release of L (L=4-Etpy) is a three-step process (-2L, -1L, -1L), and differences occurred in enthalpy changes (δH in kJ per mole of I) corresponding to the individual processes. These differences and the changes in diffraction and spectral properties of the species formed after intercalation are assumed to have their roots in different intramolecular guest-host interactions in the studied compounds. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
