Cobalt(III) complexes of monodentate N9-bound adeninate (ade-), [Co(ade-kappaN9)Cl(en)2]+ (en = 1,2-diaminoethane): syntheses, crystal structures, and protonation behaviors of the geometrical isomers

In acidic aqueous solution, a cobalt(III) complex containing monodentate N(9)-bound adeninate (ade(-)), cis-[Co(ade-kappaN(9))Cl(en)(2)]Cl (cis-[1]Cl), underwent protonation to the adeninate moiety without geometrical isomerization or decomposition of the Co(III) coordination sphere, and complexes of cis-[CoCl(Hade)(en)(2)]Cl(2) (cis-[2]Cl(2)) and cis-[Co(H(2)ade)Cl(en)(2)]Cl(3) (cis-[3]Cl(3)) could be isolated. The pK(a) values of the Hade and H(2)ade(+) complexes are 6.03(1) and 2.53(12), respectively, at 20 degrees C in 0.1 M aqueous NaCl. The single-crystal X-ray analyses of cis-[2]Cl(2).0.5H(2)O and cis-[3]Cl(2)(BF(4)).H(2)O revealed that protonation took place first at the adeninate N(7) and then at the N(1) atoms to form adenine tautomer (7H-Hade-kappaN(9)) and cationic adeninium (1H,7H-H(2)ade(+)-kappaN(9)) complexes, respectively. On the other hand, addition of NaOH to an aqueous solution of cis-[1]Cl afforded a mixture of geometrical isomers of the hydroxo-adeninato complex, cis- and trans-[Co(ade-kappaN(9))(OH)(en)(2)](+). The trans-isomer of chloro-adeninato complex trans-[Co(ade-kappaN(9))Cl(en)(2)]BF(4) (trans-[1]BF(4)) was synthesized by a reaction of cis-[2](BF(4))(2) and sodium methoxide in methanol. This isomer in acidic aqueous solution was also stable toward isomerization, affording the corresponding adenine tautomer and adeninium complexes (pK(a) = 5.21(1) and 2.48(9), respectively, at 20 degrees C in 0.1 M aqueous NaCl). The protonated product of trans-[Co(7H-Hade-kappaN(9))Cl(en)(2)](BF(4))(2).H(2)O (trans-[2](BF(4))(2).H(2)O) could also be characterized by X-ray analysis. Furthermore, the hydrogen-bonding interactions of the adeninate/adenine tautomer complexes cis-[1]BF(4), cis-[2](BF(4))(2), and trans-[2](BF(4))(2) with 1-cyclohexyluracil in acetonitrile-d(3) were investigated by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of trans-[Co(ade)(H(2)O)(en)(2)]HPO(4).3H(2)O, which was obtained by a reaction of trans-[Co(ade)(OH)(en)(2)]BF(4) and NaH(2)PO(4), was also determined.     

Complexation of fullerenes with 5,5'-Biscalix

5,5'-Biscalix[5]arene, prepared by oxidative coupling of the tetrabenzoyl ester of calix[5]arene (shown by X-ray crystallographic analysis to have a o,u,u,d,u conformation), forms complexes with C(60) (K(assoc) = 43 M(-)(1)) and C(70) (K(assoc) = 233 M(-)(1)). The X-ray crystallographic structure of the C(60) complex reveals its clamshell-shaped architecture, presumably the result of a change in the conformation of biscalix[5]arene from anti (uncomplexed) to syn (complexed).     

The crystal and molecular structures of three germatrane derivatives

The molecular and crystal structure of three germatrane compounds: 1-(1-bromobicyclo[4.1.0]hept-7-yl)germatrane, l-(1-trimethylsilanyl-cyclopropyl)-germatrane and 1-(1-Methyl-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranyl)germatrane has been determined by X-ray diffraction method in order to investigate main geometrical regularities of the germatrane molecules. There were established all values of the main structural parameters above-mentioned molecules.     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of the Co(III) Complex with 2'-[1-(2-Pyridinyl)-Ethylidene]-Oxamohydrazide (Hapsox): The Crystal Structure of Bis-{2'-[1-(2-Pyridinyl)-Ethylidene]-Oxamohydrazido} Cobalt(III) Perchlorate, [Co(apsox)2]ClO4

The synthesis of a novel ligand 2′-[1-(2-pyridinyl)-ethylidene]-oxamohydrazide (Hapsox), from a series of 2-acetylpyridine acylhydrazones, and its complex with Co(III), which is the first in this series of complexes are described. Both the ligand and the complex were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR, and ¹³C-NMR spectra, and the structure of the complex [Co(apsox)₂]ClO₄ was determined by X-ray structural analysis. It was established that [Co(apsox)₂]ClO₄ has an octahedral geometry with two tridentate apsox ligands in monoanionic form. Structural characteristics, lengths of the bonds, and angles between the bonds were typical for Co(III) complexes of distorted octahedral geometry. Both direct and template synthesis afforded the same geometrical isomer of the complex with two apsox ligands meridionally bound to the central metal ion, even in the case when equimolar quantities of Co(ClO₄)₂ and Hapsox were applied.     

Squarato-metal(II) complexes. 2. unusual bonding mode for a squarato-bridged trinuclear copper(II) complex

Herein, we report the structural characterization and magnetic properties of the unique squarato-bridged-tricopper(II) complex, [Cu3(pmap)3(micro1,2,3-C4O4)](ClO4)(4).2H 2O (1), based on the tripod tripyridylamine ligand bis[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-(2-pyridyl)methylamine (pmap). Each of the three copper centers is penta-coordinated by four N atoms of a pmap ligand and one bridging O atom of the central squarato dianion. This complex is the first example of a non-polymeric X-ray structurally characterized trimeric transition metal complex with the three metal cations being bridged by a single squarato ligand in a micro1,2,3 coordination mode. The magnetic properties of the complex were measured over the temperature range 2-300 K. The complex exhibits moderate bulk antiferromagnetic interaction. The three magnetic exchange pathways have J values of -27.8, -20.8, and -31.9 cm(-1). The DFT calculations corroborate the relatively strong antiferromagnetic couplings obtained from the fitting of the experimental magnetic susceptibility data and allow an assignment of the fitted J values. Several geometrical parameters have been analyzed using theoretical calculations to establish magnetostructural correlations for complex 1.

per-Hydroxylated pillar[6]arene: synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, and host-guest complexation

A per-hydroxylated pillar[6]arene was prepared. Single-crystal X-ray analysis demonstrated that its molecules are arranged in an up-to-down manner to form infinite channels in the solid state. Its host-guest complexation with a series of bispyridinium salts in solution was further investigated. It was found that the per-hydroxylated pillar[6]arene could form a 1:1 complex with paraquat in acetone with an association constant of 2.2 × 10(2) M(-1). This complex is a [2]pseudorotaxane as shown by its crystal structure, which is the first pillar[6]arene-based host-guest complex crystal structure.

六元瓜环、对称四甲基六元瓜环与2,2'-(1,8-辛烷)-二异喹啉二溴化物的自组装模式

利用核磁共振波谱、 紫外吸收光谱、 荧光光谱和单晶X射线衍射分析等考察了六元瓜环(Q[6])及对称四甲基六元瓜环(TMeQ[6])与2,2'-(1,8-辛烷)-二异喹啉二溴化物的相互作用. 实验结果表明, 客体分子分别与这2种瓜环自组装形成相似的1∶1包结配合物, 但晶体结构分析结果表明两个体系在主客体分子间作用力诱导下形成了不同的空间堆积模式, 其包结常数分别为K_K8-Q[6]=4.18×10⁷ L/mol, K_K8-TMeQ[6]=6.11×10⁷ L/mol.     

Synthesis and characterisation of PC(sp3)P phosphine and phosphinite platinum(II) complexes. Cyclometallation and simple coordination

New and improved preparative routes to the previously known PCP ligands cis-1,3-bis(di-isopropylphosphinito)cyclohexane and cis-1,3-bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]cyclohexane are reported. They react with 1 equivalent of dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)platinum(II) [(COD)PtCl2] to give the cis coordinated complex cis-[PtCl2{cis-1,3-bis(di-isopropylphosphinito)}cyclohexane] and the C(sp3)-H activated complex trans-[PtCl{cis-1,3-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)}cyclohexane]. The new PCP ligand cis-1,3-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinito)cyclohexane was synthesised and reacts with [(COD)PtCl2] giving the di-nuclear trans-[PtCl2{cis-1,3-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinito)cyclohexane}]2, which is highly insoluble. All metal complexes were characterised with X-ray crystallography. DFT calculations indicate that the inability of the phosphinite ligands to cyclometallate is due to a kinetic barrier, possibly involving an axial-equatorial conformational change necessary for the C-H activation process.     

Syntheses,structures, and crystal packing of N-confused 5,20-diphenylporphyrin and Ag(III) complex

Beta-unsubstituted meso partially free N-confused porphyrin, N-confused 5,20-diphenylporphyrin (NCDPP, 3), was synthesized in 7% yield by [3 + 1] condensation reaction followed by oxidation. The structures of the free base and its Ag(III) complex were elucidated by the single-crystal X-ray analyses. The Ag(III) complex was more planar than the free base and formed columnar structures stacking to each other with a 3.3 A distance in the crystal. [reaction: see text]     

On the thermal behaviour of palladium (II) macrocyclic polycatenars

Polycatenar saturated macrocycles 1,10-bis[3,4,5-tris(4-dodecyloxy)benzoy1]-1,10-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetrathiacyclo-octadecane (3b) and 1,10-bis[3,4-bis(4-dodecyloxy)benzoy1] -1,10-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetrathiacyclo-octadecane (3d) reacted with [Pd(MeCN)₄][BF₄]₂ led to the cationic complexes [4b][BF₄]₂ and [4d][BF₄]₂, respectively. Complexes [4b][BF₄]₂ and [4d][BF₄]₂ showed smectic mesomorphism on heating as confirmed by small angle X-ray diffraction. A concurrent, irreversible structural change of the complex cations was observed and a tentative explanation is suggested.     

A fluorophoric-axle-based, nonfluororescent, metallo anti-[3]pseudorotaxane: recovery of fluorescence by means of an axle substitution reaction

A Cu(2+)-templated, multinuclear, nonfluorescent, anti-[3]pseudorotaxane was synthesized on a fluorophoric axle. The Cu(2+)-templated [3]pseudorotaxane was characterized by the electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS), UV/Vis and EPR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray data. The ESI-MS showed peaks that support the formation of [3]pseudorotaxane. The UV/Vis spectrum of [3]pseudorotaxane in CH(3)CN showed a characteristic d-d band of a Cu(2+) complex at 650 nm. Further, the X-band in the EPR spectrum of [3]pseudorotaxane suggested a distorted square-pyramidal geometry of Cu(2+). Importantly, formation of the [3]pseudorotaxane was confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray structural analysis, which showed that one fluorophoric axle was threaded into two Cu(2+) macrocyclic wheels (MC-Cu(2+)) with an anti conformation. The UV/Vis and fluorescence titration experiments were carried out to follow the solution-state formation of [3]pseudorotaxane by MC-Cu(2+) and fluorophoric axle in CH(3)CN. In both studies, the sigmoidal curve fit supported the formation of 1:2 complex of the fluorophoric axle and MC-Cu(2+) complex. Secondly, the release of the fluorophoric axle from the nonfluorescent [3]pseudorotaxane through the formation of a [2]pseudorotaxane was demonstrated by titrating a solution of the [3]pseudorotaxane with a stronger bidentate chelating ligand, such as 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen). Substitution of the fluorophoric axle from the [3]pseudorotaxane with about 100% efficiency was achieved by the addition of approximately two equivalents of Phen, and the formation of a Phen-threaded [2]pseudorotaxane was established by ESI-MS of the resulting solution and a single-crystal X-ray study. Axle substitution was also confirmed by a fluorescence titration experiment, which showed a step-wise recovery of the fluorescence intensity of the fluorophoric axle. The association constants for the formation of the [3]- and [2]pseudrotaxanes were calculated from the fluorescence and UV/Vis data. In addition, 2,2'-bipyridine (BPy), which is a relatively weaker bidendate chelating ligand compared to Phen, showed an inefficient and incomplete axle substitution of the [3]pseudorotaxane, although BPy previously showed the formation of [2]pseudrotaxane with the MC-Cu(2+) wheel in solution and ESI-MS studies. In this context, the formation of a BPy-threaded [2]pseudrotaxane was further established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.     

Dynamic structural change of the self-assembled lanthanum complex induced by lithium triflate for direct catalytic asymmetric aldol-Tishchenko reaction

The development of a direct catalytic asymmetric aldol-Tishchenko reaction and the nature of its catalyst are described. An aldol-Tishchenko reaction of various propiophenone derivatives with aromatic aldehydes was promoted by [LaLi3(binol)3] (LLB), and reactivity and enantioselectivity were dramatically enhanced by the addition of lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiOTf). First, we observed a dynamic structural change of LLB by the addition of LiOTf using 13C NMR spectroscopy, electronspray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and cold-spray ionization mass spectrometry (CSI-MS). X-ray crystallography revealed that the structure of the newly generated self-assembled complex was a binuclear [La2Li4(binaphthoxide)5] complex 6. A reverse structural change of complex 6 to LLB by the addition of one equivalent of Li2(binol) was also confirmed by ESI-MS and experimental results. The drastic concentration effects on the direct catalytic asymmetric aldol-Tishchenko reaction suggested that the addition of LiOTf to LLB generated an active oligomeric catalyst species.     

Syntheses, Crystal Structures and NMR of Two Molybdenum Complexes with 2,3-Dihydroxynaphthalene

Two complexes [H3N(CH2)2NH2]2[MoO2(C10H8O2)2] (1) and (C7H10N2)2- [MoO2(C10H8O2)2] (2) were obtained at nearly the same reaction condition and characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both of the complexes possess complex anion [MoO2(C10H8O2)2]2- which shows a pseudo-octahedrally coordinated fashion. In complex 1, ethyldiamine presents just as a cation. However, in complex 2, ethyldiamine combines with the acetyl acetone as a byproduct which is confirmed by NMR.     

Synthesis, characterization, and chiral properties of CoIII2AgI3 pentanuclear, CoIII4ZnII4 octanuclear, and CoIII mononuclear complexes with aza-capped hexadentate-N3S3 thiolate ligands: crystal structures of

The reaction of an S-bridged Co2(III)Ag3(I) pentanuclear complex, [Ag3[Co(aet)3]2][BF4]3 (aet = NH2CH2CH2S-), with paraformaldehyde in basic acetonitrile, followed by adding aqueous ammonia, produced an aza-capped Co2(III)-Ag3(I) complex, [Ag3[Co(L)]2]3+ ([1]3+) (L = N(CH2NHCH2CH2S-)3). The crystal structure of [1]3+ was determined by X-ray crystallography. [1][PF6]3 x H2O, empirical formula C18H44Ag3Co2F18N8OP3S6, crystallizes in the tetragonal space group 142m with a = 13.012(1) A, c = 24.707(2) A, and Z = 4. In [1]3+ the two aza-capped [Co(L)] units are linked by three Ag(I) atoms, such that the two Co(III) atoms are encapsulated in a macrobicyclic metallocage, [Ag3(I)(L)2]3-. [1]3+ was converted to an aza-capped Co4(III)Zn4(II) octanuclear complex, [Zn4O[Co(L)]4]6+ ([2]6+), by reaction with I- in the presence of Zn2+ and ZnO in water. The crystal structure of [2]6+ was also determined by X-ray crystallography. [2][PF6]6 x 8H2O, empirical formula C36H100Co4F36N16O9P6S12Zn4, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1/n) with a = 14.33(7) A, b = 25.67(10) A, c = 24.83(6) A, beta = 101.3(3) degrees , and Z = 4. In [2]6+ each of four [Co(L)] units is bound to each trigonal Zn3(II) face of the tetrahedral [Zn4(II)O]6+ core, such that each Co(III) atom is encapsulated in a macrobicyclic [Zn4(II)O(L)] fragment. Treatment of [2]6+ with a basic aqueous solution resulted in a cleavage of the Zn-S bonds to produce an aza-capped Co(III) mononuclear complex, [Co(L)] ([3]), from which [1]3+ is readily reproduced by the reaction with Ag+ in water. All the reactions were found to proceed with retention of the absolute configuration (delta or lambda) of the Co(III) chiral centers; deltadelta-[1]3+, deltadeltadeltadelta-[2]6+, and A-[3] were derived from deltadelta-[Ag3[Co(aet)3]2]3+. The contributions to circular dichroism (CD) from the triple helicity in [1]3+, besides from the asymmetric N and S donor atoms and the Co(III) chiral centers in [1]3+ and [2]6+, were estimated by comparing the CD spectra of deltadelta-[1]3+, deltadeltadeltadelta-[2]6+, and delta-[3].     

Switching of product's chirality in diastereodifferentiating [2+2] photocycloaddition of (E)- versus (Z)-stilbene to chiral fumarate upon direct and charge-transfer-band excitation

[reaction: see text] Diastereodifferentiating [2+2] photocycloadditions of (E)- and (Z)-stilbenes to bis((R)-1-methylpropyl) fumarate were performed through the direct excitation of stilbenes and the selective excitation of the charge-transfer (CT) complex at various temperatures. The geometrical isomers of stilbene afforded the opposite diastereomers of mu-truxinate in both excitation modes, with a dramatic decrease in the product's diastereoselectivity upon prolonged irradiations.
