Ruthenium(IV) and Osmium(II) Tetraphenylporphine Complexes: Synthesis and Oxidation Reactions

The Ru(IV) and Os(II) complexes (PhO)₂RuTPP and OsTPP were synthesized from tetraphenylporphine (H₂TPP) and K₂RuO₄ or K₂OsO₄ (taken in the molar ratio of 1 : 30) in boiling phenol. The kinetics of oxidation reactions of these complexes in solutions of HOAc (acetic), H₂SO₄, and HOAc–H₂SO₄ acids was studied. It was found that in the aerated HOAc–H₂SO₄ mixture heated above 340 K, these complexes are oxidized with participation of different reaction sites: the Ru(IV) complex is oxidized at macrocycle to give the -radical-cation (PhO)₂RuPP⁺, while in the Os(II) complex, the metal atom is oxidized to form the Os(III) complex. In the first case, the reaction follows the activation mechanism, whereas in the second case, the activation energy of the reaction is zero.     

A Terminal Osmium(IV) Nitride: Ammonia Formation and Ambiphilic Reactivity

Low‐valent osmium nitrides are discussed as intermediates in nitrogen fixation schemes. However, rational synthetic routes that lead to isolable examples are currently unknown. Here, the synthesis of the square‐planar osmium(IV) nitride [OsN(PNP)] (PNP=N(CH₂CH₂P(tBu)₂)₂) is reported upon reversible deprotonation of osmium(VI) hydride [Os(N)H(PNP)]⁺. The Os^IV complex shows ambiphilic nitride reactivity with SiMe₃Br and PMe₃, respectively. Importantly, the hydrogenolysis with H₂ gives ammonia and the polyhydride complex [OsH₄(HPNP)] in 80 % yield. Hence, our results directly demonstrate the role of low‐valent osmium nitrides and of heterolytic H₂ activation for ammonia synthesis with H₂ under basic conditions.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Phosph(V)azane-Tin(IV) Complex

Abstract

The reaction of bis(anilino)phosphine oxide (C₆H₅NH)₂P(O)H, 1 with Bu₂ ⁿSnCl₂ in the presence of an excess of triethylamine (TEA) in dry tetrahydrofurane (THF) yields the novel N,O-bonded tin complex Bu₂ ⁿSn[NPh(O)P(H)NPh(HNEt₃)]₂, 2. TEA is used as a base to deprotonate the phosphazane ligand and is separated as Et₃NH⁺Cl^?, whereas HTEA⁺ exists in the final product 2 and act as a charge balancing and H-bond structure–directing agent. This new compound has been fully characterized by means of IR, MS, and multinuclear (¹H, ³¹P, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR) spectroscopy.     

Gemischte Halogeno-Äthylendiamin-Komplexe von Osmium(III) und (IV)

Mixed Halogeno-Ethylendiamine Complexes of Osmium (III) and (IV) [OsCl₄en] or [OsBr₄en] and [OsCl₄en]- or [OsBr₄en]- are prepared by reaction of [Os(en-H)₂en]Br₂ with HCl or HBr. Whereas the chelate group behaves inert, the halogeno ligands become substituted easily, alltogether or partly. This enables the preparation of [OsI₄en], of complexes of the type [OsCl_nBr_4?en]-, n = 1–3, and of other compounds. The chemical properties and infrared spectra of the new complexes are discussed.

Carbon-fluorine bond cleavage in the preparation of Osmium(III) and Osmium(IV) fluorothiolate complexes. Fluorine by fluorine NMR-assignment and fluxional processes

Reactions of OsO4 with HSR (R=C6F5, C6F4H-4,) in refluxing ethanol afford [Os(SC6F5)3(SC6F4(SC6F5)-2)] (1) and [Os(SC6F4H-4)3(SC6F3H-4-(SC6F4H-4)-2)] (2), which involve the rupture of C-F bonds. At room temperature, the compound [Os(SC6F5)3(PMe2Ph)2] or [Os(SC6F5)4(PMe2Ph)] reacts with KOH(aq) in acetone, giving rise to [ Os(SC6F5)(SC6F4(SC6F4O-2)-2)(PMe2Ph)2] (3), through a process involving the rupture of two C-F bonds, while the compound [Os(SC6F4H)4(PPh3)] reacts with KOH(aq) in acetone to afford [Os(SC6F4H-4)2(SC6F3H-4-O-2)(PPh3)] (4), which also implies a C-F bond cleavage. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 1, 2, and 4 indicate that these compounds include five-coordinated metal ions in essentially trigonal-bipyramidal geometries, whereas these studies on the paramagnetic compound 3 show a six-coordinated osmium center in a distorted octahedral geometry. 19F, 1H, 31P{1H}, and COSY 19F-19F NMR studies for the diamagnetic 1, 2, and 4 compounds, including variable-temperature 19F NMR experiments, showed that these molecules are fluxional. Some of the activation parameters for these dynamic processes have been determined.     

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of an Oxovanadium(IV)-bis(abietate) Complex with Antimicrobial Action

The search for less expensive and viable products is always one of the challenges for research development. Commonly, the synthesis of coordination compounds involves expensive ligands, through expensive and low-yield routes, in addition to generating toxic and unusable residues. In this work, the organic ligand used is derived from the resin of a reforestation tree, Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. The synthesis method used Pinus resin and an aqueous solution of vanadium(III) chloride at a temperature of 80 °C. The procedure does not involve organic solvents and does not generate toxic residues, thus imparting the complex formation reaction a green chemistry character. The synthesis resulted in an unprecedented oxovanadium(IV)-bis(abietate) complex, which was characterized by mass spectrometry (MS), chemical analysis (CHN), vibrational (FTIR) and electronic spectra (VISIBLE), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermal analysis (TG/DTA). Colorimetric studies were performed according to the CIELAB color space. The structural formula found, consisted of a complex containing two abietate ligands, [VO(C₂₀H₂₉O₂)₂]. The VO(IV)-bis(abietate) complex was applied against microorganisms and showed promising results in antibacterial and antifungal activity. The best result of inhibitory action was against the strains of Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and L. monocytogenes, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 62.5 and 125 μmol L⁻¹, respectively. For Gram-negative strains the results were 500 μmol L⁻¹ for E. coli; and 1000 μmol L⁻¹ for Salmonella enterica Typhimurium. Antifungal activity was performed against Candida albicans, where the MIC was 15.62 μmol L⁻¹, and for C. tropicalis it was 62.5 μmol L⁻¹. According to the MFC analysis, the complex presented, in addition to the fungistatic action, a fungicidal action, as there was no growth of fungi on the plates tested. The results found for the tests demonstrate that the VO(IV)-bis(abietate) complex has great potential as an antimicrobial and mainly antifungal agent. In this way, the pigmented ink with antimicrobial activity could be used in environments with a potential risk of contamination, preventing the spread of microorganisms harmful to health.     

Bestimmung der Stabilitätskonstanten gemischter Hexahalogenokomplexe von Osmium(IV)

Determination of the Stability Constants of Mixed Hexahalogeno Complexes of Osmium(IV) The individual and total stability constants of the complex series [OsX_xY_6?x]^2?; X ≠ Y = Cl, Br, I; x = 0–6 are determined by radiometric measurements of the equilibrium concentrations of all compounds. The thermodynamical stability increases from the hexabromo- over the hexachloro- to the hexaiodo-complex. The total stability constants are in ratio of 1:5,2:1225. With the individual constants the equilibrium diagrams are calculated. The photometric determination of the cis/trans ratio in complexes with x = 2, 3, 4 gives the statistical distribution of the ligands in the octahedrons. The relationship between thermodynamical and kinetical data is discussed.
