Structures and magnetic properties of an antiferromagnetically coupled polymeric copper(II) complex and ferromagnetically coupled hexanuclear nickel(II) clusters

Reactions between 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol (DFMF) and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (THMAM = H(3)L2) in the presence of copper(II) salts, CuX(2) (X = CH(3)CO(2)(-), BF(4)(-), ClO(4)(-), Cl(-), NO(3)(-)) and Ni(CH(3)CO(2))(2) or Ni(ClO(4))(2)/NaC(6)H(5)CO(2), sodium azide (NaN(3)), and triethylamine (TEA), in one pot self-assemble giving a coordination polymer consisting of repeating pentanuclear copper(II) clusters {[Cu(2)(H(5)L(2-))(μ-N(3))](2)[Cu(N(3))(4)]·2CH(3)OH}(n) (1) and hexanuclear Ni(II) complexes [Ni(6)(H(3)L1(-))(2)(HL2(2-))(2)(μ-N(3))(4)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)]·6C(3)H(7)NO·C(2)H(5)OH (2) and [Ni(6)(H(3)L1(-))(2)(HL2(2-))(2)(μ-N(3))(4)(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(2)]·3C(3)H(7)NO·3H(2)O·CH(3)OH (3). In 1, H(5)L(2-) and in 2 and 3 H(3)L1(-) and HL2(2-) represent doubly deprotonated, singly deprotonated, and doubly deprotonated Schiff-base ligands H(7)L and H(4)L1 and a tripodal ligand H(3)L2, respectively. 1 has a novel double-stranded ladder-like structure in which [Cu(N(3))(4)](2-) anions link single chains comprised of dinuclear cationic subunits [Cu(2)(H(5)L(2-))(μ-N(3))](+), forming a 3D structure of interconnected ladders through H bonding. Nickel(II) clusters 2 and 3 have very similar neutral hexanuclear cores in which six nickel(II) ions are bonded to two H(4)L1, two H(3)L2, four μ-azido, and two μ-CH(3)CO(2)(-)/μ-C(6)H(5)CO(2)(-) ligands. In each structure two terminal dinickel (Ni(2)) units are connected to the central dinickel unit through four doubly bridging end-on (EO) μ-azido and four triply bridging μ(3)-methoxy bridges organizing into hexanuclear units. In each terminal dinuclear unit two nickel centers are bridged through one μ-phenolate oxygen from H(3)L1(-), one μ(3)-methoxy oxygen from HL2(2-), and one μ-CH(3)CO(2)(-) (2)/μ-C(6)H(5)CO(2)(-) (3) ion. Bulk magnetization measurements on 1 show moderately strong antiferromagnetic coupling within the [Cu(2)] building block (J(1) = -113.5 cm(-1)). Bulk magnetization measurements on 2 and 3 demonstrate that the magnetic interactions are completely dominated by ferromagnetic coupling occurring between Ni(II) ions for all bridges with coupling constants (J(1), J(2), and J(3)) ranging from 2.10 to 14.56 cm(-1) (in the ? = -J(1)(?(1)?(2)) - J(1)(?(2)?(3)) - J(2)(?(3)?(4)) - J(1)(?(4)?(5)) - J(1)(?(5)?(6)) - J(2)(?(1)?(6)) - J(3)(?(2)?(6)) - J(3)(?(2)?(5)) - J(3)(?(3)?(5)) convention).     

An antiferromagnetically coupled dimeric Ni(II) complex anion and its counter cationic monomeric Ni(II) complex, and some other mononuclear transition metal compounds using some neutral ligands

Synthesis and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of four transition metal complexes [Mn(L₁)](ClO₄)₂ (1), [Cu(L₁)](ClO₄)₂ (2), [Ni₂(L₂)(NCS)₆][Ni(L₁)] (3) and [Mn(bzpy)(NCS)₂] (4) with neutral ligands [L₁ = N-(1-pyridin-2-yl-phenylidene)-N′-[2-({2-[(1-pyridin-2-yl phenylidene)amino]ethyl}amino)ethyl]ethane-1,2diamine, L₂ = N-(1-pyridin-2-yl-phenylidene)-N′-[2-({2-[(1-pyridin-2-ylphenylidene)amino]ethyl}piperazine-1yl)ethyl]amine, bzpy = 2-benzoylpyridine] are reported. The trinuclear nickel(II) complex 3 is made of a dinuclear anion and a mononuclear cation. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and variable-field magnetisation studies performed on 3 suggest weak antiferromagnetic coupling (J = −0.7 cm⁻¹) between the two metals of the dinuclear entity, but no magnetic interaction between the anionic and cationic counterparts.     

Concomitant polymorphism of an antiferromagnetically coupled dicopper(II,II) complex with single strand helical assembly: Synthesis,structure, DSC,magnetic and heterogeneous catalytic studies

Two concomitant polymorphic coordination complexes (dark blue – I and black – II) with the formula (Cu₂C₄₄H₆₀N₄O₄) have been synthesized and characterized crystallographically. Magnetic measurements show the presence of a strong antiferromagnetic interaction and the 2J value corresponds extremely well to the theoretically calculated one, indicating the fact that it follows nicely the magneto-structural relationship. Immobilization of the copper(II) complex 1 on a 2D-hexagonal mesoporous silica showed good catalytic efficiency in the liquid phase partial oxidation of olefins in the presence of TBHP as an oxidant.     

Theoretical and experimental study of mononuclear Cu(II) acetate-bipyridine complex

Cu(II) acetate-bipyridine complex has been synthesized. A series of experimental and theoretical spectroscopic studies was carried out for the freshly prepared sample. The local atomic and electronic structure was theoretically analyzed based on functional density theory and the structural models of the complex was obtained for various solvents. IR and XANES spectra were experimentally measured and modelled in the framework of functional density theory in a generalized gradient approximation to provide information on the chemical bond and local surroundings of copper. The powder X-ray pattern of the Cu(II) complex was obtained. The measured ESR spectra of the acetate-bipyridine complex at room temperature for the solid sample and solution in DMF confirms the formation of the mononuclear square planar complex.     

Self-activated DNA cleavage of a water-soluble mononuclear Cu(II) complex with polyquinolinyl ligand

The synthesis and characterization of a water-soluble mononuclear Cu(II) complex, [CuLCl₂]·2CH₃CH₂OH, where L = bis(2-quinolinyl methyl)benzyl-amine has been reported. L is a tridentate polyquinolinyl ligand, coordinated to Cu(II) via NNN donors. The central copper ion of 1 has N₃Cl₂ donor set in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The dimer existing in the solid state resulted from hydrogen bonds and π–π accumulation between two mononuclear units. The interaction of 1 with CT-DNA has been explored by absorption and emission titration methods, revealing partial intercalation between 1 and CT-DNA. Moreover, 1 could make pBR322 plasmid DNA cleaved by a self-activated oxidative process; hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen may be the main reactive oxygen species species in the process. Complex 1 may quench the intrinsic fluorescence of bovine serum albumin in a static quenching process, which has been investigated by UV–visible and fluorescence spectroscopic methods. 1 also demonstrates potent cytotoxity against Hela cells with IC₅₀ value of 2.84 μM, which shows it to be a potential candidate as an anticancer metal-based drug.     

Encapsulation of paramagnetic 3d1-vanadium(IV) in an antiferromagnetically coupled dodecanuclear copper(II) cage

A mixed metal cluster [Cu12VO5L6] of a pentadentate Schiff base (H3L) containing vanadium(IV) in a dodecanuclear copper(I) cage is prepared by vanadyl templated self assembly of dicopper(II) precursor and the structurally characterized complex shows antiferromagnetic coupling involving copper(II) centers, which leads close to diamagnetism for the Cu(II) cage below 40 K in the presence of an encapsulated paramagnetic 3d1-V(IV) atom.     

The EPR spectrum and structure of Cu(CO)3

Peculiarity in the electronic structure of Cu(II) complex ferromagnetically coupled with bisimino nitroxides

By means of the electron spin resonance (ESR) technique, we have investigated the electronic structures of the tridentate imino nitroxyl diradical complex with copper(II) (Cu-bisimpy), which has a square planar structure and a ground quartet state with an extremely strong ferromagnetic exchange interaction, and its related compounds (bisimpy = 2,6-bis(1'-oxyl-4',4',5',5'-tetramethyl-4',5'-dihydro-1' H-imidazol-2'-yl)pyridine). It was clarified that Cu-bisimpy had unique magnetic orbitals, compared with the biradical ligand (bisimpy), a zinc(II) biradical complex (Zn-bisimpy) and a copper(II) terpyridine complex (Cu-tpy) (tpy = 2,2';6',2'-terpyridine). Multifrequency ESR spectroscopy provided a reliable set of magnetic parameters of Cu-bisimpy, which has a small g anisotropy ( g x = 2.02, g y = 2.01, g z = 2.08) and small hyperfine coupling with Cu (|A x| = 42.0 MHz, |A y|相似文献   

Magneto-Structural Correlations in Trinuclear Cu(II) Complexes: A Density Functional Study

Summary.  Density functional theoretical methods have been used to study magneto-structural correlations for linear trinuclear hydroxo-bridged copper(II) complexes. The nearest-neighbor exchange coupling constant shows very similar trends to those found earlier for dinuclear compounds for which the Cu–O–Cu angle and the out of plane displacement of the hydrogen atoms at the bridge are the two key structural factors that determine the nature of their magnetic behavior. Changes in these two parameters can induce variations of over 1000 cm⁻¹ in the value of the nearest-neighbor coupling constant. On the contrary, coupling between next-nearest neighbors is found to be practically independent of structural changes with a value for the coupling constant of about −60 cm⁻¹. The magnitude calculated for this coupling constant indicates that considering its value to be negligible, as usually done in experimental studies, can lead to considerable errors, especially for compounds in which the nearest-neighbor coupling constant is of the same order of magnitude.

An antiferromagnetically coupled hexanuclear copper(II) Schiff base complex containing phenoxo and dicyanamido bridges: Structural aspects and magnetic properties

A novel hexanuclear complex [{(CuL)₂Cu}₂(μ-dca)₂](ClO₄)₂·2L′(1) (where H₂L = (OH)C₆H₄C(CH₃)N(CH₂)₃NC(CH₃)C₆H₄(OH) or N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyacetophenone) propylenediimine and dca = N(CN)₂⁻ and L′ = 2-hydroxyacetophenone) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, FT-IR spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. Single crystal X-ray structural characterization reveals a centrosymmetric nature of the complex unit, where the metal centers adopt distorted square-planar and distorted octahedral geometries. Structural analysis also reveals μ₂-phenoxo bridges between terminal and the central copper(II) centers of the asymmetric [(CuL)₂Cu(dca)] unit, the latter being interconnected to its symmetry related counterpart by double μ_1,5-dca bridges, leading to the hexanuclear complex ion [{(CuL)₂Cu}₂(μ-dca)₂]²⁺. Low temperature susceptibility measurements of 1 revealed the presence of strong antiferromagnetic coupling (2J = −407 cm⁻¹) between the copper(II) centers.     

Single-molecule magnet behaviour in a tetrathiafulvalene-based electroactive antiferromagnetically coupled dinuclear dysprosium(III) complex

The reactions between the [Ln(tta)(3)]·2H(2)O precursors (tta(-)=2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate anion) and the tetrathiafulvalene-3-pyridine-N-oxide ligands (L(1)) lead to dinuclear complexes of formula [{Ln(tta)(3)(L(1))}(2)]·xCH(2)Cl(2) (x=0.5 for Ln=Dy(III) (1) and x=0 for Ln=Gd(III) (2)). The crystal structure reveals that two {Ln(tta)(3)} moieties are bridged by two donors through the nitroxide groups. The Dy(III) centre adopts a distorted square antiprismatic oxygenated polyhedron structure. The antiferromagnetic nature of the exchange interaction between the two Dy(III) ions has been determined by two methods: 1) an empirical method using the [Dy(hfac)(3)(L(2))(2)] mononuclear complex as a model (3) (hfac(-)=1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate anion, L(2)=tetrathiafulvaleneamido-2-pyridine-N-oxide ligand), and 2) assuming an Ising model for the Dy(III) ion giving an exchange energy of -2.30 cm(-1), g=19.2 in the temperature range of 2-10 K. The antiferromagnetic interactions have been confirmed by a quantitative determination of J for the isotropic Gd(III) derivative (J=-0.031 cm(-1), g=2.003). Compound 1 displays a slow magnetisation relaxation without applied external magnetic fields. Alternating current susceptibility shows a thermally activated behaviour with pre-exponential factors of 5.48(4)×10(-7) s and an energy barrier of 87(1) K. The application of an external field of 1.6 kOe compensates the antiferromagnetic interactions and opens a new quantum tunnelling path.

Crystal analysis denotes that complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c with a = 11.115(2), b = 13.185(3), c = 16.184(3) Å and β = 105.68(3)°. Magnetic measurements confirm that I present an antiferromagnetic interaction between the paramagnetic ions.     

Aromatic substitution. The effect of alcoholic solvents on the reaction of phenyltriethyltin with mercury (II) salts

Second-order rate constants are reported for the cleavage of the phenyltin bond of phenyltriethyltin by mercury(II) salts in ethanol. propan-1-ol, propan2-ol and butan-1-ol. It is shown that the reactivity order for the mercury(II) salts is HgI₃^? << HgI₂ < HgCl₂. Activation parameters are reported, and on the basis of the low values of activation enthalpies the presence of an intermediate π-complex is suggested for the reactions.
