Struktur-Reaktivitäts-Beziehungen bei koordinativ ungesättigten Chelatkomplexen. III. Vergleich des Akzeptorverhaltens der Nickel- und Cobalt(II)-Chelate von dreizähnigen,dianionischen Schiffschen Basen

Structure Reactivity Relations of Coordinatively Unsaturated Chelate Complexes. III. Acceptor Tendency of Nickel and Cobalt Chelates with Tridentate Di-anionic Schiff Base Ligands The reactivity of nickel and cobalt chelate complexes of the type 3 with several donors is compared by isolation of stable adducts. In the case of nickel the reactivity is vigorously influenced by the substituents R¹ and R². The equatorial and the axial unoccupied coordination centers of the nickel chelates exhibit a markedly different behaviour. The cobalt(II) chelates – all of them are high spin complexes – favour O-donors. The complicate composition of the adducts point to a polynuclear structure. With pyridine, high spin diadducts have been isolated probably with coordination number 5 for the metal.     

Studies in negative ion mass spectrometry. XIII—Electron attachment to a series of Nickel(II) β-diketonate complexes

Results of electron attachment reactions and negative ion mass spectra are presented for a group of selected nickel(II) β-diketonate complexes of formula Ni[R¹COCHCOR²]₂, where R¹ is a perfluoroalkyl group and R² either an alkyl or aryl group. Molecular negative ions together with ligand ions are the major contributors to the total ion currents for each compound, and the degree of fragmentation has been shown to be dependent on the substituents R¹ and R². Fragmentation schemes have been elucidated for all the major ion decomposition pathways, and all significant ions have been identified in the negative ion mass spectra of each compound. Bis(1,1,1-trifluoro-5,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexanedionato) nickel(II), with R¹?CF₃ and R²?tert-butyl is the complex which shows considerable potential for analytical quantitation in the negative ion mode, because of the stability of its negative molecular ion, the high negative ion yield given after electron attachment, as well as the volatility of the compound.     

Nickel(II)‐Komplexe von Oxalamidinen und Oxalamidinaten mit zusätzlichen R2P‐Donorgruppen

Complexes of Nickel(II) with Oxalic Amidines and Oxalic Amidinates with Additonal R₂P‐Donor Groups Oxalamidines R¹N=C(NHR²)‐C(=NHR²)=NR¹, which bear additional donor atoms at two of the four N substituents ( H₂A : R¹ = mesityl, R² = ‐(CH₂)₃‐PPh_2; H₂B : R¹ = tolyl, R² = ‐(CH₂)₃‐PMe₂) form binuclear complexes with Nickel(II) in which very different coordination modes are realized. In the complex [ (A) Ni₂Br₂] (1) the two nickel atoms at each side of the bridge are in a square‐planar environment, coordinated by the two N donor atoms of the oxalic amidinate framework, a bromide and a Ph₂P group. An analogous coordination has the organometallic compound [ (A) Ni₂Me₂] (2) . In contrast, the two nickel atoms in the compound {[( B )][Ni(acac)]₂} (5) differ in their coordinative environment. At one side of the oxalic amidinate bridging ligand a (acac)Ni fragment is coordinated by the two N donor atoms resulting in a square‐planar environment. At the opposite side the (acac)Ni fragment is coordinated at the both N donor ligands of the bridging ligand as well as at the two PMe₂ groups of the side chains resulting in an octahedral coordination for this nickel atom.     

η3:η1⇌η2-tautomerism in carbonyliron complexes. Influence of substituents

A number of chelate η³-allylcarbamoyl iron complexes (I) with different substituents (R in the allyl ligand and R′ at the nitrogen atom) were synthesized. The influence of structural features on the equilibrium between the complexes I and their η²-azadiene tautomers (II) was studied by IR spectroscopy. It was established that the equilibrium position is determined in the first place by steric factors. When R is a bulky substituent the equilibrium is shifted towards the cyclic form I, whereas the branching of the alkyl substituent R′ at the nitrogen atom favours the open olefinic form II. Furthermore π-σ-(N) rearrangement of complexes II to σ-(N) derivatives (III), and the conversion of III into η⁴-azadiene complexes (IV) also depend on the steric requirements of the substituents R and R′.     

Studies in negative ion mass spectrometry. VII—Negative ion mass spectra of copper (II) β-diketonate complexes

Electron capture processes in a series of copper (II) β-diketonate complexes of formula Cu[R¹COCHCOR²]₂ (where R¹ is an alkyl, perfluoroalkyl or aryl group and R² either an alkyl or aryl group) have been examined. Molecular anions, ligand ions and some novel rearrangement ions have been observed with these compounds. Relative intensities of fragment ions were dependent on the substituents R¹, R² as well as the electron energy and compound pressure in the ion source. By operating the mass spectrometer at compound pressures of c. 4×10^?6 Torr and higher, reproducible negative ion mass spectra (free from any significant ion-molecule contributions) have been obtained for all compounds of the series.     

Periphere Anbindung von Quecksilber(II)-iodid an dreikernige Molybdän-Schwefel-Dithiophosphinatocluster: [Mo3S4(R2PS2)4HgI2] (R = Et,Pr)

Peripheral Bonding of Mercury(II) Iodide to Trinuclear Molybdenum-Sulfur-Dithiophosphinato Clusters: [Mo₃S₄(R₂PS₂)₄HgI₂] (R = Et, Pr) Reaction of Mo₃S₄(R₂PS₂)₄ 1 (a : R = Et, b : R = Pr) with HgI₂ in THF yields the diamagnetic title complexes [Mo₃S₄(R₂PS₂)₄HgI₂] 3 . The crystal structure of [ 3a (H₂O)] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ shows the complexes to consist of a triangular array of Mo atoms which are bridged by μ₂? S atoms and capped by a μ₃? S atom. Each of the Mo atoms is chelated by a dithiophosphinato ligand Et₂PS₂^? and in addition two Mo atoms are bridged by a Et₂PS₂^? ligand while the H₂O molecule is bonded weakly to the third Mo atom. Thus, all Mo atoms reveal a distorted octahedral coordination sphere. HgI₂ is ?peripherally”? bonded to the cluster via two S atoms, one of which belongs to a chelating ligand and the other one to the bridging ligand. Space group P1 , lattice constants a = 12.157(2), b = 15.284(3), c = 16.049(3) Å, α = 115.56(1), β = 107.35(1), and γ = 94.62(1)°; Z = 2, d_calc = 2.23 mg/mm³; 4 236 observed reflections, R = 0.068. In organic solvents complexes 3 are strong electrolytes. VT-³¹P NMR data suggest a stepwise dissociation of 3 with formation of [Mo₃S₄(R₂PS₂)₃] ⁺[(R₂PS₂)HgI₂]^? and elimination of the bridging ligand from the cluster.     

Nickel(II) Complexes of 1‐Alkyl‐1‐azonia‐3,5‐diaza‐7‐phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane – Synthesis and Solid‐State Structures

Complexes [NiI₃(mpta)₂]I ( 1 ) and [NiI₃(ppta)₂]I ( 2 ) have been synthesized by reaction of nickel(II) halide salts with ‐1‐methyl‐1‐azonia‐3,5‐diaza‐7‐phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]decane iodide (mpta⁺I^?) and 1‐(n‐propyl)‐1‐azonia‐3,5‐diaza‐7‐phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]decane bromide (ppta⁺Br^?) respectively. The crystal structures of compounds 1 and 2 are described and are similar, with both compounds crystallizing in monoclinic space groups. The geometry about both nickel atoms is that of a trigonal bipyramid with the cationic phosphine ligands found in the axial positions and the iodide ligands arranged in the equatorial plane.     

Spectral and Electrochemical Features of some substituted Bis(2-hydroxyaryloximato)Co(II), Ni(II), Pd(II), and Cu(II) Chelates. Crystal and Molecular Structure of Trans-bis(propanone,1-[2-hydroxyphenyl]-oximato)Ni(II)

The reaction products of five 2-hydroxyaryloximes with Ni(II), Pd(II), and Co(II) have been obtained and characterized by elemental analyses, conductometric measurements, magnetic moment determination, and spectroscopic methods (IR, ¹H NMR, electronic absorption in solutions and in solid state). Cyclic voltammetry on mercury and carbon fibre electrodes has been employed to investigate the electrochemical behaviour in DMF solutions. The effect of substituents on the structure of the chelates and the electron distribution is assessed, discussed and compared with the behaviour of the corresponding copper(II) chelates. The structure of the title compound trans-bis(propanone, 1-[2-hydroxyphenyl]-oximato) nickel(II), Ni(C₉H₁₀NO₂)₂ was determined by X-ray diffraction monoclinic system (space group P2₁/n), a = 11.894, b = 5.126, c = 13.668 Å, b? = 103.72°, Z = 2. The structure was refined by full-matrix least squares to a conventional R = 0.03. Ni is on the equatorial plane and surrounded by two nitrogen and two oxygen at distances 1.884(3) Å and 1.825(2) Å, respectively.     

Darstellung neuer,unsymmetrisch substituierter N-(2-Aminophenyl)azomethine von β-Ketoaldehyden durch Template-Kondensation mit Nickel(II) als potentielle Vorstufen unsymmetrisch substituierter makrocyclischer Komplexe

Synthesis of New Unsymmetrically Substituted N-(2-Aminophenyl)-azomethines of β-Ketoaldehydes via Template Condensation with Nickel(II) as Potential Precursors of Unsymmetrically Substituted Macrocyclic Complexes The synthesis of new unsymmetrically substituted nickel(II) complexes of type 4 is described. These complexes arises via template condensation of the unsymmetrically substituted tridentate amino-azomethines 3 , whereas only the amino group of the less reactive and the carbonyl group of the more reactive aminoazomethine react with each other. Diamagnetic square-planar nickel(II) complexes with a [N₃O] donor set and an uncoordinated amino group are formed. The complexes are precursors of carbonyl-substituted macrocyclic chelates. Further condensations of the amino group with e. g. dialdehydes or diketons are possible. All the new complexes are characterized by visible and ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. spectra as well. The influence of several peripheral substituents on the distribution of the electron density of the ligand is investigated. Strong O…H bonds forms a 6-membered ring between the uncoordinated amino group, the coordinated carbonyl group and the substituents at the R³ position.     

Optically active transition-metal compounds: XXII. Stereochemistry and crystal structure determination of (η5-C5H5)CoI(NC4H3C(R)=N(S)-CH(CH3)(C6H5)) (R = H,CH3)

The crystal structures and absolute configurations of (η⁵-C₅H₅)-CoI(NC₄H₃-C(R)=N(S)-CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅)) (R = H, compound I; R = CH₃, compound II) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of compound I are orthorhombic, with a 11.084(6), b 12.107(6) and c 13.121(7) Å, space group ^P2₁2₁2₁ and d (calcd, Z = 4) 1.69 g cm^?3 The structure was solved by the Patterson technique and refined with use of full matrix least-squares methods to R(F) = 0.031 and R_w(F) = 0.028. Compound II is nearly isomorphous and isostructural; a 11.246(6), b 11.923(6) and c 13.370(7) Å, d(calc., Z = 4) 1.71 g cm^?3 and was refined to the final agreement factors of R(F) = 0.044 and R_w(F) = 0.035. The Co atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with Co-I 2.595(2) for I and 2.607(2) Å for II; Co-(η⁵-C₅H₅ ring centroid) 1.681(4) and 1.703(5) Å; Co-N(pyrrole) 1.905(9) and 1.885(9) Å; Co-N(imine) 1.971(8) and 2.003(9) Å, all the parameters being well within values found in the literature. The configuration around the chiral carbon of the phenylethylamine is S for both compounds, whereas the configuration around the metal is R in I and S in II. The different metal configurations in I and II have their origin in the two different substituents (R = H, CH₃) at the imine carbon atoms of the chelate ring, which induce completely different conformations of the (S)-CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) moiety in the two complexes. For both compounds the thermodynamically less stable isomer is enriched upon crystallization. Also, for compound I the solution and solid state conformations are almost opposite to each other, the conformation in the solid reflecting intramolecular interactions (phenyl/C₅H₅ attraction).     

TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES OF OLIGOTHIOETHER QUINOLYLOXY TERMINATED PODANDS: PART 2. CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF (1,8-BIS(QUINOLYLOXY)-3,6-DITHIAOCTANE)-COPPER(II) DIPERCHLORATE TRIHYDRATE

Abstract

The synthesis of the new ligand 1,8-bis(quinolyloxy)-3,6-dithiaoctane (1) and the corresponding Cu(II), Cu(I) and Co(II) complexes is reported. The crystal and molecular structure of the copper(II) complex, [Cu(1)](ClO₄)₂.3H₂O, has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fddd, with cell data Z = 16, a = 20.326(2), b = 20.879(3) and c = 28.308(4)Å. The structure consists of discrete [Cu(1)]^?2+ cations separated by (structurally disordered) perchlorate anions and three lattice water molecules per cation. The coordination geometry about the copper atom is pseudo-octahedral with the quinoline nitrogen and thioether sulfur atoms at the equatorial positions and the ether oxygen atoms at the axial positions. ¹H NMR line-broadening experiments indicate that electron-transfer self-exchange reactions between the copper(I) and copper(II) complexes of (1) is immeasurably slow on the NMR time-scale. The coordination chemistry of (1) is compared with its oxygen analogue, 1,8-bis(quinolyloxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane.     

Untersuchungen zur Alkylierung von Bis-Stilbendithiolato-Komplexen des Ni(II), Pd(II) und Pt(II)

Investigation on the Alkylation of Bis-Stilbendithiolato Complexes of Ni^II, Pd^II, and Pt^II Alkylation reactions of co-ordinated ligands of the type of ethylene-bisthiol R₂S₂C₂²-proceed different depending on the substituents R. The neutral complexes isolated by a alkylation of the nickel bis-chelates (R = phenyl) according to Schrauzer and Rabinowitz and formulated by these authors as mixed ligand chelates of dithiolate and diether, were identified by us as complexes of the monoethers of the ligand. These nickel (II) complexes of the mono-ethers can not be alkylated further by alkyliodides. Oxidative coupling of two ligands yields disulfides which have been identified by mass spectroscopy thus indicating the original position of attack of the alkylating reagent. The formation of bis-monether complexes is reflected by the different charges on the S atoms of the model complex [Ni(CH₃S₂C₂H₂)(S₂C₂H₂)]- obtained from EHT and CNDO calculations. Both possible stereo-isomers have been isolated of the bis-methylmonether complex of Pt(II). Trans-[M((CH₃)(S₂C₂Ph₂))₂] (M = Ni(II), Pd(II)) form CH₂Cl₂ adducts. By treating the Ni-bis complexes of the monoalkylthioethers with iodine polyiodides are prepared. Binuclear Pd(II) complexes of composition [Pd₂((R)(S₂C₂Ph₂))₂Cl₂] could be prepared by metal exchange.     

Ligand Substituent Effects on Ruthenium (III/II) Redox Properties: An Advanced Inorganic Laboratory Experiment

A convenient inorganic laboratory exercise is presented that exposes the student to the influences of ligand substituents on a metal centers redox properties. Students prepare a series of compounds with the general formula [Ru(bpy)₂(R¹,R²mal)](PF₆), where bpy is 2,2-bipyridine and R¹,R²mal is an anionic -diketone ligand with various R¹ and R² substituents. Each complex is prepared in a single synthetic step, and the Ru(III)/Ru(II) couple is characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The potential of the Ru(III)/Ru(II) couple shifts upon varying R¹ and R² from 0.64 to 1.10 volts vs. SSCE in the following order: (R¹ = R² = Me) < (R¹ = R² = Ph) < (R¹ = Me, R² = CF₃) < (R¹ = R² = CF₃). The inductive effects of the R substituents on the Ru(III)/Ru(II) couple are consistent with their electron-donating and electron-withdrawing properties. Hammett constants for the substituents provide an approximate measure of these effects. A linear relationship is observed when the Hammett constants are plotted against the Ru(III)/Ru(II) potential. This laboratory exercise applies a versatile electroanalytical method, cyclic voltammetry, to measure the substituent effects on a metal centers electron density. Student results of the syntheses and redox characterizations of a series of [Ru(bpy)₂(R¹,R²mal)]⁺ complexes are presented and discussed.

Sulfur Dioxide as Ligand and Synthon. XII. Synthesis and Reaction Behaviour of Nickel(II) Complexes with Terdendate Anionic Ligands of the Type (C₆H₃{CH₂NR¹R²}₂?2,6)^? Organonickel(II) complexes of the type [NiX{C₆H₃(CH₂NR¹R²)₂?2,6}] (X = halide OH₂⁺/CF₃SO₃^?; R¹?R²?Et 1 ; R¹?R²?i? Pr 2 ; R¹ = Me, R² = Cy 3 ; (NR¹R²) = piperidino 4 ; (NR¹R²) = pyrrolidino 5 ) are described. ¹H and ¹³C NMR and UV/Vis spectra were recorded, and the X-ray crystal structure of 1 a (X = Br) was determined. This complex crystallizes orthorhombically in the space group Pbca with a = 1 335.8(2) pm, b = 1 903.3(3) pm, c = 1 365.4(3) pm and Z = 8, and has an approximately square-planar geometry. 4 and 5 show a reversible binding of SO₂ which has been detected by means of IR photoacoustic spectroscopy. The reactions of 1 – 5 with CS₂ and PhNSO are discussed.     

AQUEOUS EQUILIBRIA OF COPPER(II)- AND NICKEL(II)-POLYGLYCINE COMPLEXES

Abstract

Magnetic susceptibility measurements, new potentiometric data, optical spectra, and a new statistical method of calculation are combined in the formulation of an equilibrium scheme defining the dilute solution interactions of nickel(II) and copper(II) ions with diglycine, triglycine, and tetraglycine as a function of pH. At low pH appreciable concentrations of a previously unreported complex, MHL²⁺ (HL =polyglycine ligands) are shown to be present in all nickel(II)-polyglycine systems and in the copper(II)-triglycine system. This new protonated species is assigned a structure in which the metal ion is coordinated to the terminal carboxylate and to the adjacent peptide carbonyl oxygen with the proton residing on the terminal amino group. As the pH is raised in the 1:1 systems, MH_?1L, MH_?2L^? and MH_{_3}L^2- are formed in succession depending on the number of peptide linkages in the ligands, HL. The concentration of the monodeprotonated intermediate species NiH_?1L never exceeds 10% of the total metal ion concentration in the triglycine case and is always less than 0.5% when tetraglycine is the ligand. The dideprotonated intermediate NiH_?2L- reaches a maximum of 38% of the total metal concentration in the 1:1 Ni-tetraglycine system. An explanation is presented for this negative deviation from the predictions based on statistical grounds. Complete species distribution diagrams which include the new protonated complexes are presented and are employed to explain the differences in the interactions of copper(II) and nickel(II) ions with polyglycine ligands. Probable coordinate bonding sites suggested for the complexes formed in solution are inferred on the basis of stoichiometry, relative stabilities, and available microscopic information.     

Struktur-Reaktivitäts-Beziehungen bei koordinativ-ungesättigten Chelatkomplexen. VI. Synthese,Adduktbildung, Redoxpotentiale und photochrome lodderivate von Eisen(II)-Komplexen Schiffscher Basen mit elektronenziehenden Substituenten

Structure Reactivity Correlations in Coordinatively Unsaturated Chelate Complexes. VI. Synthesis, Adduct Formation, Redox Potentials, and Photochromic Iodine Derivatives of Iron(II) Complexes with Schiff Base Ligands Possessing Electron-Withdrawing Substituents Iron(II) complexes of the type 1 have been prepared by different synthetic methods. In contrast to similar chelates of the “saloph” and “salen” types, the high-spin complexes 1 form stable high-spin diadducts ( 1a – 1d ) and an unusual triadduct ( 1e ) with pyridine. The oxidation potentials of the Fe^II/Fe^III couple as measured by cyclic voltammetry are dependent on the solvent as well as the equatorial ligand substituents. The potentials are more positive in pyridine than in DMF, indicating a stabilization of Fe^II by pyridine. The redox potentials are discussed with respect to those of other metals in the same ligand environment. The complexes form iodine derivatives which show photochromic behaviour in THF solution. The rate of the reaction with dioxygen in the solid state as well as in pyridine solution decreases in the order 1f > 1a ≈ 1b > 1c ≈ 1d > 1e and correlates with the increasing oxidation potentials.     

Syntheses and structures of Zn(II) and Ni(II) complexes of 4-N-(acetylacetone amine)acetophenone thiosemicarbazone

A new ligand, 4-N-(acetylacetone amine)acetophenone thiosemicarbazone (HL, 1), was synthesized by condensation of p-aminoacetophenone with thiosemicarbazide and acetylacetone. Treatment of HL with zinc acetate and nickel acetate afforded ZnL₂ (2) and NiL₂?·?DMF (3). The crystal structures of 1, 2 and 3 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 2 and 3 have similar structures, in which metal atom is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration, and L^? coordinates to zinc(II) or nickel(II) through the azomethine nitrogen and the thiolato sulfur atom.     

Coordination chemistry of organometallic polydentate ligand Reactive chemistry of the tridentate ligand trans‐Fe(Ph2PQu‐P)2‐(CO)3 [PhzPQu=2‐diphenyl‐phosphino‐4‐methylquinoline] and molecular structure of [Fe(CO)3(μ‐Ph2PQu)2HgI]+ [HgI3]

Reaction of a new type of bidentate ligand PhPQu [PhPQu = 2‐diphenylphosphino‐4‐methylquinoline] with Fe(CO)₅ in butanol gave trans‐Fe(FpPQu‐P)(CO)₃ (1). Compound 1, which can act as a neutral tridentate organometallic ligand, was reacted with I B, II B metal compounds and a rhodium complex to give six binuclear complexes with Fe? M bonds, Fe(CO)₃ (μ‐Ph₂PQu)MX_n (2–7) [M= Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Cu(I), Ag(I), Rh(I)], and an ion‐pair complex [Fe(CO)₃ (μ‐Ph₂PQu)₂HgI][HgI₃]^? (8). The structure of 8 was determined by X‐ray crystallography. Complex 8 crystallizes in the space group P‐1 with a = 1.0758(3), b = 1.6210(4), c=1.7155(4)nm; a=75.60(2), β=71.81(2), γ=81.78(2)° and Z = 2 and its structure was refined to give agreement factors of R=0.050 and R_w = 0.057. The Fe‐Hg bond distance is 0.2536nm.     

4-Cyanoaniline complexes with transition metal(II) halides

Summary Coordination compounds formed by the interaction of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) chloride and bromide with 4-cyanoaniline (4-CA) have been prepared and characterized by molar conductance, magnetic susceptibilities, electronic and i.r. spectral measurements down to 200 cm^–1 in the solid state. The isolated complexes are M(4-CA)₂X₂ except for nickel(II) bromide which is NI(4-CA)₄Br₂. I.r. spectra, indicate that 4-CA, though a potentially bidentate ligand, nevertheless acts only as a terminally aniline (NH₂) bonded monodentate ligand in all the complexes. Tentative stereochemistries of the complexes have been suggested in the solid state.
