New oxo-bridged dinuclear peroxotungsten(VI) complexes: Synthesis, stability and activity in bromoperoxidation

Two new dinuclear oxo-bridged peroxo complexes of tungsten with coordinated dipeptides of the type, Na₂[W₂O₃(O₂)₄(glycyl-glycine)₂] · 3H₂O (1) and Na₂[W₂O₃(O₂)₄(glycyl-leucine)₂] · 3H₂O (2) have been synthesized from the reaction of H₂WO₄, 30% H₂O₂ and the respective dipeptide at pH ca. 2.5. Synthesis of the compounds, in addition to pH, is sensitive to reaction temperature and concentrations of the components. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, spectral and physico-chemical methods including thermal analysis. In the dimeric complexes the two W(VI) centres with edge bound peroxo groups are bridged by an oxo group. The dipeptides occurring as zwitterions bind the metal centers through O (carboxylate) atoms leading to hepta co-ordination around each W(VI). Thermal stability of the compounds as well as their stability in solution were determined. The compounds are highly stable toward decomposition in solutions of acidic as well as physiological pH. These compounds, besides another similar dimeric compound Na₂[W₂O₃(O₂)₄(cystine)] · 4H₂O (3) efficiently oxidized bromide to a bromination competent intermediate in phosphate buffer at physiological pH, a reaction in which only two of the peroxide groups of the complex species were found to be active. The complexes could also mediate bromination of organic substrate in aqueous-organic media.

Imido complexes of molybdenum and tungsten(VI); X-ray crystal structure of cis-(η-CF3SO3)2 W(NBu)2(NH2Bu)2

The synthesis of the homoleptic molybdenum imido compound Li₂Mo(NBu^t)₄ is reported. The complexes M (NBu^t)₂(NHBu^t)₂ (M = Mo, W) can be protonated with various strong acids giving neutral species. The X-ray crystal structure of the tungsten complex W (NBu^t)₂(NH₂Bu^t)₂ (SO₃CF₃)₂ confirms the presence of O-coordinated cis- CF₃SO₃ groups.     

Metathesis polymerization of norbornene and terminal acetylenes catalyzed by bis(acetonitrile) complexes of molybdenum and tungsten

The ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene catalyzed by bis(acetonitrile) molybdenum and tungsten complexes, [M(η³-C₃H₅)Cl(CO)₂(NCMe)₂] (1-Mo: M = Mo, 1-W: M = W), which have two labile acetonitrile ligands, has been investigated. These complexes catalyzed the ROMP of norbornene as a single-component initiator. The highly cis-selective polymerization proceeded in a THF solution (95% for 1-Mo and 96% for 1-W), whereas polymerization in CH₂Cl₂ or toluene resulted in lower cis selectivity. The polymerization of terminal acetylenes using these complexes was also examined. The tungsten complex 1-W showed a high catalytic activity for the polymerization of terminal acetylenes, such as phenyl- and tert-butylacetylene. A highly active catalytic system for the ROMP of norbornene was achieved by the activation of the tungsten complex, 1-W, with one equivalent of phenylacetylene, giving poly(norbornene) with a high molecular weight (M_n = 391 × 10⁴) and a high cis selectivity (cis  89%).     

Copper(I) and mercury(II) halide complexes of 1,2-bis(diphenylthioylphosphino)hydrazine

The reaction of 1,2-bis(diphenylthioylphosphino)hydrazine (L) with copper(I) and mercury(II) halides affords the complexes, [{CuLX}₂] (X = I, Br or Cl), [HgLX₂] (X = Cl or Br) and the tetrametallic complex, [{L(HgI₂)₂}₂]. Single crystal X-ray structures have been performed on the uncoordinated ligand, L, as well as the complexes [{CuLX}₂] (X = I, Br and Cl), [HgLBr₂] and [{L(HgI₂)₂}₂. The molecules of L exist as dimers as a result of pairs of N–HS hydrogen bonds. The copper(I) complexes are centrosymmetric dimetallic species, the two copper atoms being bridged by L and the X atoms. In all cases the coordination sphere around the Cu atoms is approximately trigonal pyramidal with an ‘S₂X₂’ donor set. The complex, [HgLBr₂], is a distorted tetrahedral monomer with an ‘S₂Br₂’ donor set and L acting as a bidentate thus forming a seven-membered chelate ring. The tetramercury iodo complex, [{L(HgI₂)₂}₂], contains two ‘L(HgI₂)₂’ units linked centrosymmetrically via an I atom from each moiety. The geometry around the Hg atoms is distorted tetrahedral. The influence of hydrogen bonding between the hydrazine backbone hydrogens of L and the coordinated halide ions in for the structures of the metal complexes is discussed.     

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene and norbornadiene by tungsten(II) and molybdenum(II) complexes

The reaction of norbornene (NBE) and norbornadiene (NBD) in the presence of seven-coordinate tungsten(II) and molybdenum(II) complexes of the [(CO)₄M(μ-Cl)₃M(SnCl₃)(CO)₃] and [MCl(M′Cl₃)(CO)₃(NCMe)₂] (M=W, Mo; M′=Sn, Ge) types leads to ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and to the formation of high molecular weight polymers. The geometric structure of these polymers was determined by means of ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. The monitoring of the reaction between cyclic olefins and the metal complex by means of ¹H-NMR spectroscopy allowed us to observe the coordination of NBD to metal atoms in the initiation step of the polymerization process. Compounds of the [MCl(SnCl₃)(CO)₃(η⁴-NBD)] type prepared directly from [(CO)₄M(μ-Cl)₃M(SnCl₃)(CO)₃] or [MCl(M′Cl₃)(CO)₃(NCMe)₂] (M=W, Mo) in the presence of an excess of NBD initiate the ROMP reaction immediately. The detection of the first-formed products in the reaction between the metal complex and cyclic olefins provides valuable information concerning the nature of the initiating species.     

Reduction Removal of Cr(VI) from Wastewater by CO2·- Deriving from Formate Anion Based on Activated Carbon Catalyzed Persulfate

As a strong reducing radical, carbon dioxide anion radical(CO₂^·-) can be generated by initiating sulfate radical(SO₄^·-) in the presence of formate anions(FA) for Cr(VI) reduction. Moreover, activated carbon(AC)-catalyzed persulfate(PS) oxidation is an economically justifiable, environmentally friendly, and easy-to-scale-up method to produce SO₄^·-. The complete removal of Cr(VI) was achieved within 280 min for an initial Cr(VI) concentration of 50 mg/L under the optional condition of c(AC)=1 g/L, [PS]₀=10 mmol/L, [FA]₀=10 mmol/L, T=30℃, and unadjusted pH. When the molar ratio of FA to PS was greater than or equal to 1, the system maintained a strong reduction state. The mechanism investigation confirmed that FA was converted to carboxyl anion radical(CO₂^·-) as the predominant radical for Cr(VI) reduction. This novel system may offer a potential platform technology for Cr(VI) wastewater treatment.     

Dimerization of Incomplete Cubane-Type Mo3S4(DTP)3 Units Linked by Bridging α, ω-Dicarboxylate

Since the trinuclear molybdenum cluster compound Mo₃S₄(DTP)₃(μ-DTP)(L) (DTP=diethyldithiophosphate, L=loosely-coordinated ligand) was reported^[1],a large number of monomeric trinuclear molybdenum derivatives have been synthesized from it by its diverse substitution reactions^[2]. This reaction provides a useful route to design cluster complexes with specific functions. By the reaction with α, ω-dicarboxylates, we successfully synthesized the first oligomer containing two incomplete cubane-type[Mo₃S₄] cores formulated as[Mo₃S₄(DTP)₃(DMF)]₂[η²-μ-OOC(CH₂)₃COO-μ-η²]) whose molecule structure is as follows:     

Template reactions with polynuclear complexes. The reaction of [Mo2(O2CCF3)4(PR3)2] (R = Ph, Et) with 2-aminobenzaldehyde

The binuclear molybdenum(II) complexes [Mo₂(O₂CCF₃)₄(PR₃)₂] (R = Ph, Et) act as templates for the self-condensation of 2-aminobenzaldehyde to give a new class of complexes in which a hydride ion bridges two molybdenum(III) centres, each of which carries a tetradentate macrocyclic ligand (C). The new hydrido complexes [Mo₂(C)₂ (H)(O₂CCF₃)₃(PPh₃)₂] (I), [Mo₂(C)₂(H)₂(O₂CCF₃)₂(PPh₃)₂] (II), and [Mo₂(C)₂ (H)₂(O₂CCF₃)₂(PEt₃)₂]₂ (V) exist in two or more isomeric forms as shown by their IR, ¹H, ³¹P and ¹⁹F NMR spectra. Substitution with thiocyanate, nitrate and tetraphenylborate anions gives the new products [Mo₂(C)₂(H)(CO)(NCS)₃(PPh₃)₂] (III), [Mo₂(C)₂ (H)₂(O₂CCF₃)(NO₃)(PPh₃)₂] (IV), [Mo₂(C)₂(H)(O₂CCF₃)(PPh₃)₂](BPh₄)₂ (VI) and [Mo₂(C)₂(H)₂(O₂CCF₃)(PEt₃)₂](BPh₄) (VII), which also exist in isomeric forms.     

STUDIES ON ORGANO-MOLYBDENUM AND TUNGSTEN COMPOUNDS(Ⅲ)——CATALYTIC POLYMERIZATION OF ACETYLENE BY M-O-C BOND-CONTAINING COMPLEXES OF Mo AND W

Catalytic polymerization of acetylene in the presence of n5-C5H5-M-(CO)3 R (M=Mo,W;R=CH3-,C2H5-) has been studied.The results show that these complexes possess catalytic activities for the polymerization and copolymerization of monosubstituted acetylene.The catalytic mechanism has been preliminarily discussed.It is suggested that the active species be metal-car-bene.In our previous publications we reported the synthesis of some new Fischer's molybdenum and tungsten-carbene complexes and catalytic activity for alkyne polymerization.The results show that the activity of Fischer's molybdenum-carbene is higher than that of tungsten.The catalytic polymerization of alkyne by M-σ-c bond-containing complexes of molybdenum and tungsten has not been reported yet in literature.Therefore,four M-σ-C bondontaining complexes of molybdenum and tungsten were synthesized by using the method reported in the literature,and catalyst polymerization of alkyne by these complexes was examined.     

Schwefel(IV)-Verbindungen als Liganden XVII. Übergangsmetall-vermittelte Insertion von Schwefeldioxid in die C---O-Einfachbindung

Methoxyethyliron complexes [Cp(CO)(L)Fe(CH₂CHROMe)] (L = CO, P(OPh)₃; R = H, Me) insert SO₂ into the C---O single bond wih formation of metalated sulphonic acid esters [Cp(CO)(L)Fe(CH₂-CHRSO₂OMe)]. the insertion is stereospecific wih retention of configuration at carbon. The complexes [Cp(CO)₃M(CH₂CHRSO₂OMe)] (M = Mo, W; R = H, Me) are obtained analogously. Oxidation of [Cp(CO)₃W(CH₂CH₂SO₂OMe)] wih iodine gives the ionic tungsten(IV) alkyl complex [Cp(CO)₃(I)W(CH₂CH₂SO ₂OMe)]⁺. Triphenylphosphine converts [Cp(CO)₃Mo(CH₂CHRSO₂OMe)] into acyl complexes [Cp(CO)₂(Ph₃P)Mo(C(O)CH₂CHRSO ₂OMe)] (R = H, Me), which upon oxidation with Ce^IV in MeOH yield the diesters MeOC(O)CH₂CHRSO₂OMe.     

Synthesis, structure and characterization of M---Sn (M=Mo, W) bonded heterobimetallic complexes containing bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands

The reaction of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane tetracarbonylmolybdenum(0) or tungsten(0) complexes with RSnCl₃ (R=Ph, Cl) at room temperature yielded heterobimetallic complexes CH₂(Pz)₂M(CO)₃(Cl)(SnCl₂R) (Pz represents substituted pyrazole; M=Mo or W; R=Ph or Cl) in good yields, which have been characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The reaction of bis(3,5-dimethyl-4-halopyrazol-1-yl)methane tetracarbonyl tungsten with PhSnCl₃ did not take place even in refluxing CH₂Cl₂. The electronic and steric characteristics of substituents on the pyrazole ring remarkably influence the structures of the products. The structures of CH₂(3,5-Me₂-4-BrPz)₂W(CO)₃(Cl)(SnCl₃) (8) and CH₂(4-BrPz)₂Mo(CO)₃(μ-Cl)(SnCl₂Ph) (17) (Pz: pyrazole) determined by X-ray crystallography show that no chlorine-bridged W---Sn bond is observed in complex 8, while one chlorine-bridged Mo---Sn bond exists in complex 17. The Sn---M bond length is 2.7438(5) Å in complex 8 (W---Sn) and 2.7559(4) Å in complex 17 (Mo---Sn).     

Thermal Behaviour of Some New Polyoxometalate Complexes of Ciprofloxacin with Keggin-type Heteropoly Acids

Four polyoxometalate complexes, (CPFX·HCl)3H4SiW12O40, (CPFX·HCl)3H3PW12O40, (CPFX·HCl)3H3PMo12O40 and (CPFX·HCl)4H4SiMo12O40, were prepared from ciprofloxacin hydrochloride(CPFX·HCl) reacting with HnXM12O40·nH2O(X=P,Si; M=W,Mo) in an aqueous solution, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrometry and TG-DTA. The IR spectrum confirms the presence of Keggin-type anions of heteropoly acids and the characteristic functional groups of ciprofloxacin. The TG/DTA curves show that their thermal decomposition is a multi-step process including simultaneous collapse of the Keggin-type structure. At first, these compounds had a mass loss of water molecules, then several other mass losses occurred due to the decomposition of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and its fragments with the degradation of Keggin anions. The end product of decomposition is the mixture of WO3(or MoO3) and SiO2(or P2O5), identified by X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. The possible thermal decomposition mechanisms of these complexes are proposed. This study exemplified that the thermal stability of the complexes containing tungsten is much better than that of the complexes containing molybdenum.     

金属-4-(2-吡啶偶氮)-间苯二酚(PAR)络合物的极谱研究(Ⅱ)——钼(Ⅵ)-PAR-NaClO3体系的极谱催化波

有关相络合物极谱催化波的报导颇多,但研究钼与PAR络合物极谱行为的工作尚未见报导。在稀硫酸(pH1.7)介质中,我们观察到,钼与PAR共存时产生一极谱还原波,再引入NaClO₃时,此波灵敏度增加,示波极谱导数波波形尖锐而又对称。本文研究钼(Ⅵ)-PAR-NaClO₅体系极谱催化波产生的条件,应用该体系测定了矿样中的痕量钼。

The XeOSeF₅⁺ cation has been synthesized for the first time and characterized in solution by ¹⁹F, ⁷⁷Se and ¹²⁹Xe NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray crystallography and Raman spectroscopy with AsF₆⁻ as its counter anion. The X-ray crystal structures of the tellurium analogue and of the Xe(OChF₅)₂ derivatives have also been determined: [XeOChF₅][AsF₆] crystallize in tetragonal systems, P4/n, a=6.1356(1) Å, c=13.8232(2) Å, V=520.383(14) Å³, Z=2 and R₁=0.0453 at −60°C (Te) and a=6.1195(7) Å, c=13.0315(2) Å, V=488.01(8) Å³, Z=2 and R₁=0.0730 at −113°C (Se); Xe(OTeF₅)₂ crystallizes in a monoclinic system, P2₁/c, a=10.289(2) Å, b=9.605(2) Å, c=10.478(2) Å, β=106.599(4)°, V=992.3(3) Å³, Z=4 and R₁=0.0680 at −127°C; Xe(OSeF₅)₂ crystallizes in a triclinic system, , a=8.3859(6) Å, c=12.0355(13) Å, V=732.98(11) Å³, Z=3 and R₁=0.0504 at −45°C. The energy minimized geometries and vibrational frequencies of the XeOChF₅⁺ cations and Xe(OChF₅)₂ were calculated using density functional theory, allowing for definitive assignments of their experimental vibrational spectra.     

Phenylbis(2- pyridyl)phosphine: P- vs. N,N′-coordination in carbonylmolybdenum-(O) and -(II) complexes

The first carbonyl molybdenum-(O) and -(II) complexes with phenylbis(2-pyridyl)phosphine (PPhpy₂) have been synthesized. PPhpy₂ reacts with [Mo(CO)₅(NCMe)] to give [Mo(CO)₅(PPhpy₂-P)]. With [Mo(CO)₄(NBD)] (NBD = norbornadiene) it gives [Mo(CO)₄(PPhpy₂-P)₂] when a 2 : 1 ratio is used, or [MO(CO)₄(py₂PhP---N,N′)] for a 1 : 1 ratio. Decarbonylation of any of these pyridylphosphine complexes leads to an oligomer of formula {MO(CO)₃(μ-PPhpy₂)}_n, which is also obtained after heating [MO(CO)₆] in solution with an equimolar amount of PPhpy₂. The oligomer undergoes oxidative addition by iodine or allylbromide to give [MoI₂(CO)₃(py₂PhP---N,N′)], or [MoBr(η³-CH₂CHCH₂)(CO)₂(py₂PhP---N,N′)], respectively. These complexes are also obtained by addition of equimolar amounts of PPhpy₂ to solutions of [MoI₂(CO)₃(NCMe)₂] and MoBr(η³-CH₂CH CH₂)(CO)₂(NCMe)₂, respectively. The ligand tends to act as a P-donor towards molybdenum(O) substrates, and as a chelating N,N′-donor in molybdenum (II) complexes.     

不对称取代双(吡唑)甲烷VIB羰基金属化合物的合成及表征

3-苯基吡唑与二溴甲烷在相转移催化下反应,得到(3-苯基吡唑-5'-苯基吡唑)甲烷(1)和双(3-苯基吡唑)甲烷(2)的混合物.当该混合配体与M(CO)₆(M=Cr,Mo,W)在光照下反应时,分离得到了不对称取代的(3-苯基吡唑-5'-苯基吡唑)甲烷四羰基铬(3),钼⑷和钨(5).用X-射线衍射测定了化合物5的晶体结构.结果表明,该晶体属于单斜晶系,P2(1)/n空间群,a=1.7976(7) rnn,b=1.3210(5) nm, c=1.8681(7) nm;β=98.293(8)°, V=4.390(3) nm³, Z=8,最终结构偏离因子[I>2σ(I)]=0.0516, Rw=0.0898, GOF=0.879.两个苯基分别处于两个吡唑的3位及5'位.     

Self-assembly in dinuclear, cyclic homotetranuclear and cyclic heterotetranuclear complexes with a picolylhydrazone ligand

Reactions among Cu(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O, Cu(acac)₂/VO(acac)₂ and 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde Picoloylhydrazone in different solvents give three complexes, [Cu₂L(acac)(H₂O)₂]ClO₄ (1), [Cu₄L₂(acac)₂(py)₂](ClO₄)₂ (2) and (VO₂)₂L₂Cu₂(acac)₂ (3) (acac = acetyl acetonate and py = pyridine). There is an extended 2D structure in complex 1 constructed by hydrogen bonds between the binuclear complex cation and the ClO₄⁻ anion, and an extended 1D structure in complex 2 constructed by weak ππ stacking interactions between neighboring cyclic tetranuclear complex molecules. Complex 3 is the first oxovanadium–copper complex with a bridging oxo oxygen atom between the V atom and the Cu atom. The solid-state photoluminescent properties of the three title complexes have been studied. There is an antiferromagnetic interaction in 1.     

Synthesis, characterization and magnetic properties of novel μ-isophthalato oxovanadium(IV) binuclear complexes

Four novel oxovanadium(IV) binuclear complexes have been synthesized, namely [(VO)₂(IPHTA) (L)₂SO₄ (L denotes 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy); 1,10-phenanthroline (phen); 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (Me₂bpy) and 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen)), where IPHTA is the isophthalate dianon. Based on elemental analyses, molar conductivity measurements, IR and electronic spectra studies, it is proposed that these complexes have IPHTA-bridged structures and consist of two vanadium(IV) atoms in a square-pyramidal environment. The complexes [(VO)₂(IPHTA)(Me₂bpy)₂]SO₄ (1) and [(VO)₂(IPHTA)(bpy)₂]SO₄ (2) were characterized by variable temperature magnetic susceptibility (4–300 K) and the data could be well fitted by the least-squares method to a susceptibility equation derived from the spin Hamiltonian operator, . The exchange integral, J, was found to be −26.8 cm⁻¹ for (1) and −31.0 cm⁻¹ for (2). These results are commensurate with antifferomagnetic interactions between two oxovanadium(IV) ions within each molecule. The influence of different terminal ligands on magnetic interactions between the metals of this kind of complexes is also discussed.     

Formation of a novel “bedspring”-like framework structure by a neodymium nitrate complex with N,N′-butylenebis(2-pyridone)

Reaction of N,N′-butylenebis(2-pyridone) (BBP) with hydrated M(NO₃)₃ salts (M = Y or a lanthanide ion) affords the complexes M₂(BBP)₃(NO₃)₆. Thorium(IV) nitrate and dioxouranium(VI) nitrate give Th₂(BBP)₃(NO₃)₈·0.5Me₂CO and UO₂(BBP)(NO₃)₂, respectively. X-ray diffraction studies on the Nd complex show it to contain arrays of contiguous 66-membered macrocyclic rings arranged so as to form as unusual “bedspring”-like network structure.
