Abstract

Reaction of VO(acac)₂ with the hydrazone ligands N’-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3methylbenzohydrazide (H₂L¹) and N’-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3-methyl-4-nitrobenzohydrazide (H₂L²) afforded two oxidovanadium(V) complexes, [VOL¹(OMe)(MeOH)] (1) and [VOL²(OEt)(EtOH)] (2), respectively. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, molar conductivity and X-ray single crystal diffraction techniques. The hydrazone ligands coordinate to the V ions through the phenolate oxygen, imino nitrogen and enolate oxygen atoms. The V ions in both complexes are in octahedral coordination, with the three donor atoms of the hydrazone ligands, and with the other three sites furnished by one methanol or ethanol oxygen atom, one deprotonated methanol or ethanol oxygen atom, and one oxo oxygen. The complexes were assayed for their antibacterial activity on the bacteria B. subtilis, E. coli, P. putida and S. aureus.

Synthesis,structures and luminescence properties of two gallium(III) complexes with 5,7-dimethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline

Luminescent gallium(III) complexes featuring 5,7-dimethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline (DimOx) are systematically compared and their structural features are correlated with their photophysical properties. The two complexes are chemically identical; however, contain various number of solvent molecules in the crystalline lattice which is representative of the bulk material confirmed by both nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental analysis. Detailed structural comparisons highlight the effect which the solvent molecules have on the intra- and intermolecular interactions. A distinct number of interactions are found for the gallium complex (1) containing more than one solvent molecule for unit cell. Variation in complex morphology is similarly observed via SEM micrographs. The distinct luminescent properties of the two gallium complexes appear directly related to octahedral coordination of the 8-hydroxyquinoline ligand as well as the number of identical coordinated solvent molecules.     

Coordination diversity in tin compounds with bis(benzoxazole)phenol as a polydentate ligand: Synthesis and crystal structure studies

Abstract

The reaction of 2,6-bis(benzoxazolyl)-4-tert-butylphenol (HL) with [ⁿBu_xSnCl_4?x] (x?=?0, 1) in 1:1 stoichiometry yielded the tin coordination complexes [(HL)SnⁿBu_xCl_4?x] [x?=?0 (1); x?=?1 (2)]. Deprotonation of HL was performed using reagents having groups with high basicity such as ⁿBuLi or [Sn{N(SiMe₃)₂}₂]. These basic reagents prompted the coordination of the ligand in its anionic form, yielding the complexes [(thf)₂Li(L)SnCl₄] (3) and [(L)Sn{N(SiMe₃)₂}] (4), respectively. The molecular structure of HL displayed an intramolecular hydrogen bond OH—N and a planar arrangement of the bis(benzoxazolyl)phenolic system. In the molecular structures of both complexes containing HL an intramolecular hydrogen bond of NH—O type was also present. The coordination of the ligand in either neutral or anionic form is described by a κO,κN chelate mode toward Sn. All complexes displayed bis(benzoxazolyl)phenolic moieties close to planar; the least planar system was observed in 4 that was also studied by DFT methods.

Tetrathiafulvalene-based lanthanide coordination complexes: Synthesis,crystal structure,optical and electrochemical characterization

The explorative lanthanide coordination chemistry of 4′,5′-bis-(propylthio)tetrathiafulvenyl[i]dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine (TTF-dppz) is described. Thereby, four new Ln(III) complexes, [Ln(NO₃)₃(TTF-dppz)₂] with Ln(III) = Nd (1), Eu (2), Gd (3), Tb (4), have been prepared and characterized. An X-ray crystallographic study of [Gd(NO₃)₃(TTF-dppz)₂] (3) shows that the Gd(III) ion is coordinated to six oxygen atoms from three bidentate nitrate ligands and four nitrogen atoms from two bidentate TTF-dppz molecules forming a distorted bicapped square antiprism coordination geometry. The UV-vis spectra of the four Ln(III) complexes show very strong absorption bands in the UV region consistent with ligand centred electronic π-π* transitions and an intense broad absorption band in the visible region corresponding to a spin-allowed electronic π-π* ¹ILCT transition from the TTF-dppz ligand. Upon coordination, the ¹ILCT band of the free TTF-dppz ligand is bathochromically shifted. The electrochemical studies reveal that all complexes undergo two reversible oxidation and one (quasi)reversible reduction processes, ascribed to the successive oxidations of the TTF moiety and the reduction of the dppz unit, respectively. Moreover, the magnetic properties of complexes 3 and 4 are discussed.     

Synthesis and oxidation of bis(triphenylgermyl)zinc

Four zinc and four oxygen atoms in 2 are arranged such that a cube is formed as determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Further oxidation of 2 led to the formation of digermoxane, (Ph₃Ge)₂O as a final product.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of diorganotin(IV) complexes with pyruvic acid benzoylhydrazone and pyruvic acid salicylhydrazone

Six diorganotin esters of Schiff-base ligands formulated as [R₂SnLY]₂, where L₁ is C₆H₅CON₂C(CH₃)CO₂ with Y?=?CH₃CH₂OH, R?=?mClC₆H₄CH₂ (1), oFC₆H₄CH₂ (2), pFC₆H₄CH₂ (3) and L₂ is 2-HOC₆H₄CON₂C(CH₃)CO₂ with Y?=?CH₃OH, R?=?oFC₆H₄CH₂ (4), pFC₆H₄CH₂ (5), mClC₆H₄CH₂ (6) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra. The crystal structures of complexes 1 and 4 have been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The structure analyses reveal that the Sn atom in both 1 and 4 is seven-coordinate in distorted pentagonal bipyramid geometries with a planar SnO₄N unit and two apical aryl carbon atoms, thus forming a dimeric molecule, which sits on a crystallographic center of symmetry. Intramolecular or intradimeric hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability and compactness of the crystal structures.

Synthesis, structural characterization, and properties of heavier alkaline earth complexes containing bis(pyrazolyl)borate or bis(3,5-diisopropylpyrazolyl)borate ligands

Treatment of a solid mixture of KBH₄ with six equivalents of 3,5-diisopropylpyrazole (iPr₂pzH) at 180 °C afforded KTp^iPr2(iPr₂PzH)₃ in 53% yield. KBp^iPr2 was synthesized in 56% yield by treatment of a 1:2 M ratio of KBH₄ and iPr₂PzH in refluxing dimethylacetamide. Treatment of MI₂ (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) with two equivalents of KBp or KBp^iPr2 in tetrahydrofuran afforded MBp₂(THF)₂ (M = Ca, 64%, M = Sr, 81%), BaBp₂(THF)₄ (32%), and M(Bp^iPr2)₂(THF)₂ (M = Ca, 63%; M = Sr, 61%, M = Ba, 48%) as colorless crystalline solids upon workup. These complexes were characterized by spectral and analytical techniques and by X-ray crystal structure determinations of all complexes except KBp^iPr2. KTp^iPr2(iPr₂PzH)₃ contains one κ³-N,N,N-Tp^iPr2 ligand and three κ¹-iPr₂pzH ligands, with overall distorted octahedral geometry about the K ion. The iPr₂PzH nitrogen-hydrogen bonds are engaged in intramolecular hydrogen bonding to the 2-nitrogen atoms of the Tp^iPr2 ligand. The solid state structures of MBp₂(THF)₂, BaBp₂(THF)₄, and M(Bp^iPr2)₂(THF)₂ contain κ³-N,N,H Bp and Bp^iPr2 ligands, which form through metal-nitrogen bond formation to the 2-nitrogen atoms of the pyrazolyl fragments and metal-hydrogen bond formation to one boron-bound hydrogen atom per Bp ligand. SrBp₂(THF)₂has the shortest metal-hydrogen interactions among the series. A combination of preparative sublimations, solid state decomposition temperatures, and thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that MBp₂(THF)₂, BaBp₂(THF)₄, and M(Bp^iPr2)₂(THF)₂ undergo solid state decomposition at moderate temperatures.     

The reaction of dihydridotetrakis(triphenylphosphane)ruthenium(II) with methyl acrylate. Crystal structure of bis(methylacrylate)bis(triphenylphosphane)(aqua)ruthenium(0)

The complex H₂Ru(PPh₃)₄ reacts with methyl acrylate to give bis(methylacrylate)bis(triphenylphosphane)ruthenium(0). Temperature-dependent NMR spectra show that the complex exists in two isomeric forms in solution. The major form (ca. 74%) has one methyl acrylate ligand η²-coordinated and the other η⁴ -coordinated as a 1-oxabutadiene ligand. This complex reacts with water to give the monoaqua adduct, the crystal structure of which is reported.     

Synthesis,characterization, crystal structure and oxygen-evolution activity of a manganese(II) complex with 2,4,6-tris (2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine

The title complex [Mn(tptz)(CH₃COO)(OH₂)₂]NO₃ was synthesized through the reaction of tptz (2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine), nitric acid and manganese(II) acetate. The molecular structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, electrochemistry, EPR, IR, fluorescence and UV–Vis spectroscopy and its oxygen evolving activity has been studied. X-ray structure analysis shows that each Mn(II) ion is seven coordinated by a bidentate acetate, three nitrogen atoms of tptz and two oxygen atoms from two water ligands, which are coordinated in axial positions. The complex acts as an oxygen evolving complex with oxone (2KHSO₅·KHSO₄·K₂SO₄) as primary oxidant in aqueous solution with a turnover number of 1 (mol of O₂/mol of the complex). Kinetic studies revealed a first-order dependence on the complex and oxidant. The EPR spectrum shows that the mononuclear complex oxidize to a Mn^III,IV₂ di-μ-oxo by oxone.
