Preparation and Identification of a New [Cr2(NTA)2(μ-OH2)]·2H2O Complex

[Cr₂(NTA)₂(μ-OH₂)]·2H₂O is prepared by heating nitrilotriacetic acid (H₃NTA) with an aqueous suspension of freshly precipitated Cr₂O₃·nH₂O. Elemental analysis, IR spectra, UV/vis spectra, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, mass spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest the existence of a Cr-Cr bond. One of the three water molecules acts as a bridging ligand (μ-H₂O) while the other two are waters of crystallization.     

Preparation and Characterisation of a Bis-μ-Hydroxo-NiIII2 Complex

Hydroxide-bridged high-valent oxidants have been implicated as the active oxidants in methane monooxygenases and other oxidases that employ bimetallic clusters in their active site. To understand the properties of such species, bis-μ-hydroxo-Ni^II₂ complex ( 1 ) supported by a new dicarboxamidate ligand (N,N′-bis(2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-2,2-dimethylmalonamide) was prepared. Complex 1 contained a diamond core made up of two Ni^II ions and two bridging hydroxide ligands. Titration of the 1 e⁻ oxidant (NH₄)₂[Ce^IV(NO₃)₆] with 1 at −45 °C showed the formation of the high-valent species 2 and 3 , containing Ni^IINi^III and Ni^III₂ diamond cores, respectively, maintaining the bis-μ-hydroxide core. Both complexes were characterised using electron paramagnetic resonance, X-ray absorption, and electronic absorption spectroscopies. Density functional theory computations supported the spectroscopic assignments. Oxidation reactivity studies showed that bis-μ-hydroxide-Ni^III₂ 3 was capable of oxidizing substrates at −45 °C at rates greater than that of the most reactive bis-μ-oxo-Ni^III complexes reported to date.

Bis-(tetraethylammonium)[tetraazidocuprate(II)] and catena-di-μ-1,1-azido-[di-μ-1,1-azido-bis-(2,4-dimethylpyridine)dicopper(II)]

Two new copper(II) azido complexes, namely bis-(tetraethylammonium)[tetraazidocuprate(II)] (1) and catena-di--1,1-azido-[di--1,1-azido-bis-(2,4-dimethylpyridine)dicopper(II)] (2), have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. Complex (1) consists of isolated NEt⁺ ₄ cations and [Cu(N₃)₄]^2– anions. The site symmetry around the copper atom in the anion is 4/m. Complex (2) features a 1 D chain structure, five coordinated square pyramidal copper(II) atoms with both azides functioning as -1,1-bridges. The i.r. spectra reveal that both complexes contain asymmetric azido ligands. The solid and solution electronic spectra of (1) and (2) show very strong absorption bands in the visible region associated with N^– ₃ Cu^II charge-transfer transitions. The e.p.r. spectra of powder samples and solutions at room temperature were recorded and discussed.

Crystal structure of di-μ-amido-bis[diammineplatinum(II)] nitrate

Di-μ-amido-bis[diammineplatinum(II)] nitrate (1) was synthesized as a byproduct during preparation of tetraammineplatinum(II) nitrate. One possible pathway to produce 1 is that [(H₃N)₂Pt(μ- OH)₂Pt(NH₃)₂](NO₃)₂, a well-known complex forming on treatment of cis-Pt(NH₃)₂I₂ with AgNO₃, reacts with aqueous ammonia. The other possible pathway involves deprotonation of [Pt(NH₃)₄](NO₃)₂ to form monomeric Pt(NH₃)₃(NH₂)NO₃ followed by elimination of NH3. Crystals of 1 (from water) are monoclinic (C2/c) with a = 16.834(2) Å, b = 10.573(1) Å, c = 7.415(1) Å, β = 114.846(1)°, and Z = 4. The cationic portion consists of two symmetrical square-planar Pt centers with the inversion center at the midpoint of the Pt(1)???Pt(1A) vector. The Pt(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two ammonia molecules and two bridging amido groups affording a slightly distorted square. The molecules are stacked in such a way that the planes of coordination squares turn out to be parallel to each other with a distance of 3.501 Å. Intermolecular Pt–H interaction between the μ-NH₂ hydrogens and the platinum(II) centers of the adjacent molecule are observed.

The reaction of [Et4N]2WS4 with 4 equiv of CuCN in pyridine produced a new polymeric complex [WS4Cu4(Py)4(μ-CN)2]∞ 1, whose crystal structure has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. 1 (C22H2oCu4N6S4W, Mr=934.71) crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/n with a ='8.994(2), b=16.038(3), c=12.026(3) A, β= 90.85(1)°, V= 1734.6(6) A3, Z=2, Dc=1.789 g/cm3, F(000)=896,t(MoKa)=59.8 cm-1 and T=193 K. The structure was refined to R=0.064 and Rw=0.080 for 2209 observed reflections (I ＞ 3.0σ(I)). The X-ray analysis shows that the tetrahedral WS4 core is coordinated by four Cu atoms, forming a saddle-like WS4Cu4 unit. These repeating units are further interconnected by four Cu-μ-CN-Cu 2.726(2) and 2.723(2) A, respectively.     

Two new 1D cadmium(II) azido complexes: catina-Poly[di-μ1,1-azido(2,2′-bipyridyl)cadmium(II)] and a new polymorph of catina-Poly[di-μ1,1-azido (2-acetylpyridine)cadmium(II)]

Two new cadmium(II) azido complexes, [Cd(2,2′-bipy)(N₃)₂]_n (1) and [Cd(2-acpy)(N₃)₂]_n (2) (2,2′-bipy?=?2,2′-bipyridyl and 2-acpy?=?2-acetylpyridine), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The coordination environment of the central cadmium atom is distorted octahedral (MN₆) in 1 and (MN₅O) in 2, with one-dimensional chains formed through Cd₂N₂ units and alternatively chelating N,N′-bipyridyl or N,O-2-acetylpyridine groups. The central Cd(II) ion is coordinated to two nitrogen atoms of a chelating bipyridyl group or one nitrogen atom and one acetyl oxygen of 2-acetylpyridine and four nitrogen atoms of four different end-on bridging (μ_1,1-N₃) groups. Chains in the c direction in 1 are stabilized in b direction by π–π interactions involving the aromatic rings of bipyridyl ligands. IR and NMR spectra of the two complexes are reported.     

Cycloaddition of Alkenes and Alkynes to the P-centered Singlet Biradical [P(μ-NTer)]2

The reaction of biradical [P(μ-NTer)]₂ ( 1 , Ter = 2,6-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)phenyl) towards different alkenes (R = 2,3-dimethyl–butadiene, 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene, 1,7-octadiene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene) and alkynes (R = 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiyne) was studied experimentally. Although these olefins can react in different ways, only [2+2] cycloaddition products ( 1R ) were observed. The reaction with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene also led to the [2+2] product ( 1dmb ). Thermal treatment of 1dmb above 140 °C resulted in the recovery of biradical 1 upon homolytic bond cleavage of the two P–C bonds and the release of 2,3-dimethylbutadiene. In contrast to this reaction, all other [2+2] additions products ( 1R , R = 1,7-octadiene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene, 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiyne) began to decompose at temperatures between 200 °C and 300 °C. Only unidentified products were obtained but no temperature-controlled equilibrium reactions were observed. Computations were carried out to shed light into the formal [2+2] as well as the possible [4+2] addition reaction.
