Synthesis and Characterization of Polynuclear Metal Complexes with Bridging Ketoiminato and Thioiminato Schiff Base Ligands

Bimetallic and trimetallic complexes of stoichiometry [M(acacen)M′Y₂], [M(sacacen)M′Y₂], and {[M(acacen)]₂M′Y₂} have been prepared by reaction of the appropriate square-planar Schiff base metal complex with various secondary metal salts in toluene and/or absolute ethanol. Systems which are reported here include those where M = Cu(II); M′ = Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(lI) and Zn(II); Y^? = Cl^?, Br^?, and NO₃ ^?. Trinuclear complexes have been isolated only for {[Cu(acacen)]₂M′(NO₃)₂} where M′ = Cu(lI) or Mn(II); binuclear complexes result from all other combinations. The geometry of the chelated Cu(II) ion is square-planar in the bimetallic complexes and possibly square-pyramidal in the trimetallic compounds, while that of the secondary metal ion depends on the coordination preference of M′, the nature of Y^? and whether the bridging donor atoms are oxygen or sulfur. Probable structures of the new polynuclear complexes have been deduced from spectral, conductivity and magnetic measurements.     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Antibacterial Activities of Four Schiff Base Complexes of Copper and Zinc

Four Schiff base complexes, [Cu₂(L1)₂(μ‐NCS)₂] ( 1 ), [Cu₂(L2)₂(μ‐N₃)₂] ( 2 ), Cu[Cu(CH₃COO)(L3)]₂ ( 3 ), and [Zn{Zn(C₃H₄N₂)(L3)}₂(NO₃)](NO₃) ( 4 ) (where L1 = 2‐[(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylimino)methyl]phenol, L2 = 1‐[(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylimino)methyl]naphthalen‐2‐ol, and L3 = bis(salicylidene)‐1, 3‐propanediamine), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single crystal X‐ray determinations. Both 1 and 2 are structurally similar di‐nuclear complexes, which are located at crystallographic inversion centers (with the center of the central Cu₂N₂ ring). In 1 , each copper atom has a slightly distorted square pyramidal configuration, coordinated by two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom from L1 and another two terminal nitrogen atoms from two bridging thiocyanate anions. The Cu···Cu separation is 3.466(3) Å. The structure of 2 is similar to that of 1 , with Cu···Cu separation of 3.368(2) Å. Both 3 and 4 are linear tri‐nuclear complexes. In 3 , the central Cu²⁺ ion is located on an inversion centre and has a distorted octahedral coordination involving four bridging O atoms from two Schiff base ligands (L3) in the equatorial plane and one O atom from each bridging acetate group in the axial positions. The coordination around the terminal Cu²⁺ ions is irregular‐square pyramidal, with two O and two N atoms of L3 in the basal plane and one O atom from an acetate group in the apical position. The acetate bridges linking the central and terminal Cu²⁺ ions are mutually trans. The Cu···Cu separation is 3.009(3) Å. In 4 , the coordination configuration of the central and the terminal zinc atoms are similar to that of the 3 , with Zn···Zn separation of 3.153(4) Å. The three Schiff bases and the corresponding three copper complexes exhibit good antibacterial properties, while the zinc complex 4 has nearly no.     

Copper(II) Complexes with Asymmetrical Schiff Base Ligands Derived from 2‐Acetylpyrazine

New copper(II) complexes of asymmetrical tetradentate Schiff bases containing pyrazine have been prepared and thoroughly characterised by elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and magnetic measurements. Two alternative methods were used in the isolation of the complexes: template synthesis in the preparation of Cu(SalDpyz)ClO₄ (HSalDPyz = derived from the condensation of salicylaldehyde, acetylpyrazine and 1,2‐ethylendiamine, 2‐methyl‐1,2‐propylendiamine, 1,2‐phenylendiamine) and direct interaction between copper perchlorate and the corresponding Schiff base, as in the isolation of Cu(AEPyz)(ClO₄) (HAEPyz = (Z)‐4‐[2‐{[2‐{[(E)‐1‐(pyrazinyl)ethylidene]amino} ethyl)amino]‐3‐penten‐2‐one)]. [Cu(SalEn)(py)(OClO₃)][Cu(SalEn)(py)]ClO₄ ( 1 ) (SalEn = 4‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐3‐aza‐3‐buten‐1‐amino, py = pyridine), metal precursor in the preparation of Cu(SalEnpyz)(ClO₄) (HSalEnpyz = 2‐{E(2‐{[(E)‐1‐(2‐pyrazinyl)ethylidene]amino}ethyl)imino]methyl}phenol), was crystallographically characterised. The crystal structure of [Cu(AEpyz)]ClO₄ ( 2 ) is also reported.     

Schiff碱双核Mn配合物的合成、结构和性能研究

Five manganese complexes of Schiff base were synthesized： [Mn^Ⅳ，Ⅳ(μ-O)(Salen)]₂·DMF·H₂O (1)， [Mn^Ⅳ，Ⅳ(μ-O)(5-BrSalen)]₂·DMF·0.5H₂O (2)， {Mn^Ⅳ，Ⅳ(μ-O)[Sal(1，2-pn)]}₂·H₂O (3)， {Mn^Ⅳ，Ⅳ(μ-O)[5-Br-Sal(1，2-pn)]}₂·H₂O (4)， {Mn^Ⅳ，Ⅳ(μ-O)[5-CH₃-Sal(1，2-pn)]}₂·2H₂O (5)， and were characterized by element analysis， IR and UV-Vis spectra. The results of cyclic voltammogram show that Schiff base ligands can drop the potential of manganese and steady high oxide state of manganese. The magnetic properties of 1 and 3 have also been studied. The results show that there is a weak ferromagnetically coupling of Mn^Ⅳ₂ pair at room and low temperature， and the interactions of complex 3 are weaker than complex 1.     

Syntheses,Characterization and Crystal Structures of Three Structurally Similar Dinuclear Schiff Base Cadmium(II) Complexes with Bridging Azide or Thiocyanate Ligands

Three novel Schiff base cadmium(II) complexes, derived from the end‐on (μ‐1,1‐N₃) azide or end‐to‐end (μ‐1,3‐NCS) thio cyanate bridges and similar tridentate Schiff base ligands, have been synthesized under similar synthetic procedures and their crystal structures determined by X‐ray diffraction methods. They are the dinuclear double end‐on azide‐bridged [Cd₂(L1)₂(N₃)₂(μ‐1,1‐N₃)₂] ( 1 ), the dinuclear double end‐on azide‐bridged [Cd₂(L2)₂(N₃)₂(μ‐1,1‐N₃)₂] ( 2 ), and the dinuclear double end‐to‐end thiocyanate‐bridged [Cd₂(L3)₂(NCS)₂(μ_1,3‐NCS)₂] ( 3 ), where L1, L2 and L3 are three similar tridentate Schiff bases obtained by condensation of 2‐pyridylaldehyde with N,N‐diethylethane‐1,2‐diamine, of 2‐pyridylaldehyde with N‐isopropylethane‐1,2‐diamine, and of 2‐pyridylaldehyde with N,N‐dimethylpropane‐1,3‐diamine, respectively. Each cadmium(II) centre in the complexes is in a distorted octahedral coordination. There is a crystallographic inversion centre in each of the complexes. The similar small ligands used as the secondary ligands in the preparation of the cadmium(II) complexes with similar Schiff bases can result in similar structures.     

Synthesis Characterization,X‐ray Structures,and Solution Studies of Dinuclear Zinc(II) Complexes of Acyclic Schiff Base Ligands

Dizinc(II) complexes of two acyclic Schiff‐base ligands L1 ^– and L2 ^– were synthesized by Schiff base condensation of 2‐[3‐(2‐formylphenoxy)‐2‐hydroxypropoxy]benzaldehyde ( PL ) with 1,2‐diaminopropane and 1,2‐diaminoethane, respectively, in the presence of zinc(II) salts. The isolation of a selection of 2:1 (metal:ligand) complexes of zinc(II) was carried out and conductance measurements, IR, UV/Vis absorption, and fluorescence emission spectroscopy, as well as X‐ray diffraction were employed to probe the nature of the respective complexes in both solid and solution states. The molecular structure of [Zn₂ L1 (NO₃)₃] ( 1 ) complex consists of two six‐coordinate atoms, which are bridged by the deprotonated hydroxy group and one 1,3‐bridging nitrate anion. The structure of [Zn₂ L2 (NO₃)(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ · CH₃OH ( 3 ) consists of a dizinc cation and two nitrate anions as counterions. In compound 3 , each zinc atom is bound to water instead of a terminal nitrate anion in a distorted octahedral arrangement. The intermetallic separation distance of Zn ··· Zn in 3 (3.376 Å) is slightly smaller than 1 (3.403 Å) and is similar to that found in zinc phosphotriesterase (3.5 Å). The π–π interactions between the benzene rings of adjacent molecules in 3 are stronger than in 1 .     

Synthesis,Structures, and Single‐Molecule Magnetic Properties of Three Dy2 Complexes

To explore the influences of the subtle structural variations in the ligand backbones on the single‐molecule magnetic properties of dinuclear dysprosium(III) complexes, three ligands—H₂L₁ (H₂L₁=N₁,N₃‐bis(salicylaldehyde)diethylenetriamine), H₂L₂ (H₂L₂=N₁,N₃‐bis(3‐methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine), and H₂L₃ (H₂L₃=N₁,N₃‐bis(5‐chlorosalicyladehyde)diethylenetriamine)—were synthesized and employed to prepare the expected dinuclear dysprosium(III) complexes. The three ligands differ in terms of the substituents at the benzene rings of the salicylaldehyde moieties. The reactions of Dy(NO₃)₃ ? 6 H₂O, pivalic acid, and the ligands H₂L₁, H₂L₂, and H₂L₃ generated complexes with the formulae [Dy₂(L₁)₂(piv)₂] ( 1 ), [Dy₂(L₂)₂(piv)₂] ( 2 ), and [Dy₂(L₃)₂(piv)₂] ? 2 MeCN ( 3 ), respectively. The purposeful attachment of the functional groups with varied sizes at the benzene rings of the salicylaldehyde backbones resulted in slight differences in the Dy‐O‐Dy bond angles and the Dy ??? Dy bond lengths in 1 – 3 ; consequently, the three complexes exhibited distinct magnetic properties. They all showed slow magnetization relaxation with energy barriers of 40.32 ( 1 ), 31.67 ( 2 ), and 33.53 K ( 3 ). Complete active space self‐consistent field (CASSCF) calculations were performed on complexes 1 – 3 to rationalize the slight discrepancy observed in the magnetic behavior. The calculated results satisfactorily explained the experimental outcomes.

This paper reports the catalytic properties of “porphyrin-like” Schiff base mononuclear complexes MH₂L {M=Mn(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ)Cl, Cr(Ⅲ)Cl, Cu(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ); L=bis[N, N′-ethylene-2, 2′-(phenylmethylene)bis(3,4-dimethylpyrrole-5-aldimino)]} and dinuclear complexes MnML [M=Mn(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ)Cl, Cr(Ⅲ)Cl, Cu(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ)] for cyclohexane monooxygenation with PhIO and magnetic properties of the dinuclear complexes. The magnetic investigations (4～300 K) of the dinuclear complexes revealed that their antiferromagnetic spin exchange with J ranged from -10.49 to -0.482 cm^-1 except MnZnL and antiferromagnetic spin exchange decreased in the following order: Mn^Ⅱ-Cu^Ⅱ > Mn^Ⅱ-Ni^Ⅱ > Mn^Ⅱ-Mn^Ⅱ > Mn^Ⅱ-Fe^Ⅲ > Mn^Ⅱ-Co^Ⅱ > Mn^Ⅱ-Cr^Ⅲ. The results of catalyzed oxidation of cyclohexane indicated that the catalytic property of the dinuclear complex was better than that of the corresponding mononuclear complex. It was found that there was the synergism decreased in the order: Mn-Fe > Mn-Cr > Mn-Cu > Mn-Mn > Mn-Co> Mn-Ni > Mn-Zn. It seems that this synergism increases with the increase of the number of unpaired d electrons and the magnetic exchange between the two metals in these dinuclear complexes.

Crystal Structures and Magnetic Properties of Two New Schiff Base Complexes

Two new Schiff base complexes, [NiL]ClO4 1 and [CuL]ClO4.0.5H2O 2, were synthesized and characterized, where L is the 1:1 condensation product of salicylaldehyde and diethylenetriamine. Their crystal structures and magnetic properties were determined and investigated. The H-bonding interactions concern just in neighbor cation and anion, do not extendin to network for both 1 and 2. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities(2-300K) showed that 1 is diamagnetism and 2 is paramagnetism with weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between adjacent spin carriers, no magnetic ordering taking place in these two complexes.

Single‐Molecule Magnetism in Three Dy2 Complexes from the Use of a Pentadentate Schiff Base Ligand and Different Benzoates

Three dinuclear dysprosium(III) complexes, [Dy₂L₂(O₂CPh)₂]?2 MeOH ( 1 ), [Dy₂L₂{(2‐NO₂)O₂CPh}₂] ( 2 ), and [Dy₂L₂{(2‐OH)O₂CPh}₂] ? MeOH ? MeCN ( 3 ) (H₂L=N₁,N₃‐bis(4‐chlorosalicyladehyde)diethylenetriamine), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complexes 1 – 3 possess similar Ln₂ cores and differ in substituents at the benzyl rings of benzoates. Direct current (dc) magnetic susceptibility studies in the 2–300 K range showed weak antiferromagnetic interactions between two dysprosium(III) ions in 1 – 3 . The alternating current (ac) magnetic susceptibility measurements indicated that they all exhibited SMM behavior. The strategic attachment of the ?NO₂ group (in 2 ) and the ?OH functionality (in 3 ) on the skeleton of the benzoic acid led to subtle variations of the bond lengths and bond angles in the coordination environments of the central dysprosium(III) ions, consequently resulting in the enhancement of the energy barriers for 2 and 3 . Complete‐active‐space self‐consistent field (CASSCF) calculations were employed to rationalize the experimental outcomes. Theoretical calculations confirm the existence of antiferromagnetic interactions in 1 – 3 , and the calculated dc magnetic susceptibility data agree well with those obtained experimentally. The computational results reveal more axial g tensors, as well as higher first excited Kramers doublets in 2 and 3 ; thus resulting in higher energy barriers in compounds 2 and 3 .     

Cubane‐Type Polynuclear Zinc Complexes Containing Tridentate Schiff Base Ligands: Synthesis,Characterization, and Ring‐Opening Polymerization Studies of rac‐Lactide and ε‐Caprolactone

New polynuclear zinc complexes containing tridentate Schiff base ligands were successfully synthesized and fully characterized. The solid‐state structure of the complexes was determined using single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The complexes display a tetranuclear cubane‐like core structure [Zn₄O₄] and sowed good catalytic activity towards the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP ) of rac‐lactide (rac‐LA ) and ε‐caprolactone (ε‐CL ) under solvent‐free conditions. The polylactic acid (PLA ) obtained from rac‐LA showed isotactic enrichment, as proved by homonuclear decoupled ¹H‐NMR analysis. These complexes also showed good activity and superior control towards the ROP of rac‐LA and ε‐CL in the presence of benzyl alcohol as a co‐initiator. Furthermore, kinetic studies demonstrated that the ROP of rac‐LA and ε‐CL has a first order dependence on both monomer (rac‐LA and ε‐CL ) and catalyst concentration.
