Different coordination patterns for two related unsymmetrical compartmental ligands: crystal structures and IR analysis of [Cu(C21H21O2N3)(OH2)(ClO4)]ClO4·2H2O and [Zn2(C22H21O3N2)(C22H20O3N2)]ClO4

The crystal structures of the new complexes [Cu(HL1)(OH₂)(ClO₄)]ClO₄·2H₂O (1) and [Zn₂(HL2)(L2)]ClO₄ (2), derived from two related, phenol-based compartmental ligands, are described. Compound 2 constitutes the first report of a complex obtained from H₂L2. The metal compounds are structurally different; 2 is a dimer in which all the heteroatoms of the ligand take part in coordination, while 1 is mononuclear containing a pair of cis-oriented ligands that complete an “open” coordination sphere, in which the aldehyde group of HL1 is not involved. The protonation status of the central phenol groups of HL1 and H₂L2 are also dissimilar between the complexes. Infrared vibrational analyses of both complexes, as well as their respective ligands, were performed to connect the observed spectral features with the structural properties of the solids. While some distinctive bands shifted upon complexation, it was not possible to confirm involvement of the aromatic aldehyde group in coordination by this technique. ¹H NMR experiments involving 2 suggest that its particular protonation status is maintained upon dissolution in d₆-DMSO.

Crystal Structure of [(C2H5)4N]4Cu7Cl14O2: A Cu14Cl28O4 8− Cluster

The synthesis and crystal structure of a novel copper(ll) halide cluster, (Et₄N)₈Cu₁₄Cl₂₈O₄, is reported. The cluster anion Cu₁₄Cl₂₈O₄ ^8? can be Viewed as being formed by the dimerization of two Cu₇Cl₁₄O₂ ^4? fragments. The hypothetical precursor anion of this latter cluster, Cu₇Cl₁₅O₂ ^5? in tum can be viewed as being formed from. the known parent Cu₇Cl₁₄O₂ ^4? cluster anions by fusion of pairs across a common CuCI₃ face. The fusion and dimenzation processes cause substantial distortion of the trigonal bipyramidal coordmation geometry of the copper(II) ions in the parent cluster. For three of the copper(II) ions this Yields a 4+1 geometry distinct from either trigonal blpyramldal or square pyramidal. The dimerization of the two Cu₇ clusters forces a severe distortion upon one additional copper(II) ion, this time towards a tetrahedral geometry. The implications of these distortions for the catalytic properties reactivities and magnetic behaviour of the parent complex are discussed.
