1H, 13C, 15N NMR coordination shifts in Fe(II), Ru(II) and Os(II) cationic complexes with 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine

(1)H, (13)C and (15)N NMR studies of iron(II), ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) bis-chelated cationic complexes with 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine ([M(terpy)(2) ](2+) ; M = Fe, Ru, Os) were performed. Significant shielding of nitrogen-adjacent H(6) and deshielding of H(3'), H(4') protons were observed, both effects being mostly expressed for Fe(II) compounds. The metal-bonded nitrogens were shielded, this effect being much larger for the outer N(1), N(1″) than the inner N(1') atoms, and enhanced in the Fe(II) → Ru(II) → Os(II) series.     

Experimental and quantum-chemical studies of 15N NMR coordination shifts in palladium and platinum chloride complexes with pyridine, 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline

A series of Pd and Pt chloride complexes with pyridine (py), 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), of general formulae trans-/cis-[M(py)2Cl2], [M(py)4]Cl2, trans-/cis-[M(py)2Cl4], [M(bpy)Cl2], [M(bpy)Cl4], [M(phen)Cl2], [M(phen)Cl4], where M = Pd, Pt, was studied by 1H, 195Pt, and 15N NMR. The 90-140 ppm low-frequency 15N coordination shifts are discussed in terms of such structural features of the complexes as the type of platinide metal, oxidation state, coordination sphere geometry and the type of ligand. The results of quantum-chemical NMR calculations were compared with the experimental 15N coordination shifts, well reproducing their magnitude and correlation with the molecular structure.     

The crystal and molecular structure of potassium aquapentachloroiridate(III) and the H, C, N NMR coordination shifts in iridium(III) chloride complexes with 2,2′-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline

The crystal and molecular structure of potassium aquapentachloroiridate(III) (K₂[Ir(H₂O)Cl₅]) was reported. The [Ir(H₂O)Cl₅]²⁻ anions are nearly octahedral, the axial Ir–Cl bond (2.322(2) Å) being shorter than the equatorial ones (2.346(2)–2.360(2) Å); the Ir–O bond length is 2.090(4) Å. Ir(III) chloride complexes with 2,2′-bipyridine (LL = bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (LL = phen), of the general formulae K[Ir(LL)Cl₄] and cis-[Ir(LL)₂Cl₂]Cl, were studied by far-IR and ¹H–¹³C, ¹H–¹⁵N HMBC/HMQC/HSQC–NMR. High-frequency ¹H NMR coordination shifts (Δ^1H_coord = δ^1H_complex − δ^1H_ligand; max. ca. +1 ppm) were noted for [Ir(LL)Cl₄]⁻ anions, while for cis-[Ir(LL)₂Cl₂]⁺ cations they had variable sign and magnitude (max. ca. ±1 ppm); they were dependent on the proton position, being mostly expressed for the nitrogen-adjacent hydrogens (H(6) for bpy, H(2) for phen). ¹³C NMR signals were high-frequency shifted (by max. ca. 8 ppm), whereas all ¹⁵N nuclei were shifted to the lower frequency (by ca. 105–120 ppm). The experimental ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts were reproduced by semi-empirical quantum-chemical calculations (B3LYP/LanL2DZ+6-31G^**//B3LYP/LanL2DZ+6-31G*).     

Synthesis,NMR spectroscopic characterization and structure of a divinyldisilazane‐(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) complex: observation of isotope‐induced chemical shifts 1Δ12/13C(195Pt)

Tetramethyldivinyldisilazane‐(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) was prepared, characterized in solid state by X‐ray crystallography and in solution by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ²⁹Si, ³¹P and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR). Numerous signs of spin–spin coupling constants were determined by two‐dimensional heteronuclear shift correlations (HETCOR) and two‐dimensional ¹H/¹H COSY experiments. Isotope‐induced chemical shifts ¹Δ^12/13C(¹⁹⁵Pt) were measured from ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectra of the title compound as well as of other Pt(0), Pt(II) and Pt(IV) compounds for comparison. In contrast to other heavy nuclei such as ¹⁹⁹Hg or ²⁰⁷Pb, the “normal” shifts of the heavy isotopomers to low frequencies are found, covering a range of >500 ppb.

Prediction of 195Pt NMR chemical shifts of dissolution products of H2[Pt(OH)6] in nitric acid solutions by DFT methods: how important are the counter‐ion effects?

¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of octahedral Pt(IV) complexes with general formula [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}]^2?, [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH₂)_{6 ? n}]^{4 ? n} (n = 1–6), and [Pt(NO₃)_{6 ? n ? m}(OH)_m(OH₂)_n]^{?2 + n ? m} formed by dissolution of platinic acid, H₂[Pt(OH)₆], in aqueous nitric acid solutions are calculated employing density functional theory methods. Particularly, the gauge‐including atomic orbitals (GIAO)‐PBE0/segmented all‐electron relativistically contracted–zeroth‐order regular approximation (SARC–ZORA)(Pt) ∪ 6–31G(d,p)(E)/Polarizable Continuum Model computational protocol performs the best. Excellent second‐order polynomial plots of δ_calcd(¹⁹⁵Pt) versus δ_exptl(¹⁹⁵Pt) chemical shifts and δ_calcd(¹⁹⁵Pt) versus the natural atomic charge Q_Pt are obtained. Despite of neglecting relativistic and spin orbit effects the good agreement of the calculated δ ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts with experimental values is probably because of the fact that the contribution of relativistic and spin orbit effects to computed σ^{iso 195}Pt magnetic shielding of Pt(IV) coordination compounds is effectively cancelled in the computed δ ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts, because the relativistic corrections are expected to be similar in the complexes and the proper reference standard used. To probe the counter‐ion effects on the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of the anionic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}]^2? and cationic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH₂)_{6 ? n}]^{4 ? n} (n = 0–3) complexes we calculated the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of the neutral (PyH)₂[Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}] (n = 1–6; PyH = pyridinium cation, C₅H₅NH⁺) and [Pt(NO₃)_n(H₂O)_{6 ? n}](NO₃)_{4 ? n} (n = 0–3) complexes. Counter‐anion effects are very important for the accurate prediction of the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of the cationic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH₂)_{6 ? n}]^{4 ? n} complexes, while counter‐cation effects are less important for the anionic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}]^2? complexes. The simple computational protocol is easily implemented even by synthetic chemists in platinum coordination chemistry that dispose limited software availability, or locally existing routines and knowhow.

A Novel Coordination Polymer, [Ag4^1 （bpdc）（H2bpdc）（Hbpdc）2]n （bpdc = 2,2＇-bipyridyl-3,3＇-dicarboxylate）： Coordination Models of bpdc Ligands

A novel coordination polymer, [Ag₄ppdc)(H₂bpdc)(Hbpdc)₂] (bpdc = 2,2′‐bipyridyl‐3,3′‐dicarboxylate), was hydrothermally synthesized at 403 K and structurally characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystalizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a=1.9516(4) nm, b=1.9503(4) nm. c=1.2566(3) nm, and β=112.48(3)°. In the two‐dimensional crystal structure, Ag^I center is coordinated, in a scarce coordination environment, double‐capped tetrahedron, by one bpdc ligand to form N‐Ag‐N chelate bond via two pyridyl N atoms, and other two bpdc ligands to form two O‐Ag‐O chelate bonds, respectively, via two carboxyl O atoms. The bpdc ligands are present in one non‐protonated form, bpdc, and two protonated forms, Hbpdc and H2bpdc, which all act as μ3‐ligand in a hexadentate fashion (N, N′; O, O′; O, O′) to coordinate with three Ag centers, respectively, through the three chelate bonds. This coordinated fashion of bpdc ligand is first found in the title compound. W‐Us‐NIR reflectance spectroscopy study revealed insulator nature for the crystal with an optical energy gap of 3.1 eV.     

Construction of metal-organic frameworks: versatile behaviour of a ligand containing mono- and bidentate coordination sites

Five new coordination polymers based on a new 2,2'-bipyridine derived ligand N,N'-bis(pyridin-4-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxamide (=L) are reported herein. Isostructural three-dimensional coordination polymers with a rare (4,6)-connected network of {4(4).6(2)}(3){4(6).8(9)}(2) topology were synthesised from Cu(NO(3))(2), Zn(NO(3))(2) or a mixture of Cu(NO(3))(2)/Fe(BF(4))(2) with L in complexes {[Cu(5)L(6)]·(NO(3))(10)·(H(2)O)(18)}(∞) (1), {[Zn(5)L(6)]·(NO(3))(10)·(H(2)O)(18)}(∞) (2) and {[Fe(x)Cu(y)L(6)]·(NO(3))(10)·(H(2)O)(18)}(∞) (3; where x+y=5). Complexes with two-dimensional grid structures resulted from treatment with CoCl(2) or Cd(NO(3))(2) with L in complexes {[CoLCl(2)]·DMF}(∞) (4) and {CdL(NO(3))(2)}(∞) (5).
