Co-ordination compounds of diacetyldihydrazone and diacetylbis(monomethylhydrazone)

Summary Diacetyldihydrazone (DADH) forms only six-coordinate complexes with iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II). In M(DADH)₂X₂ (M=Fe, X=Br or I; M=Co, X=I; M=Ni, X=Cl, Br or NCS) the ligand is chelating in the [M(DADH)₃]²⁺ cations, while in M(DADH)₂X₂ (M=Co, X=Cl or Br; M=Ni, X=Cl or Br) the ligand is probably bridging and bidentate. Diacetylbismonomethylhydrazone (DAMH), by contrast, forms predominantly tetrahedral complexes M(DAMH)X₂ (M=Fe or Co, X=Cl or Br; M=Ni, X=Br; M=Co, X=NCS; M=Zn, X=Cl, Br or NCS) and some octahedral complexes M(DAMH)₂X₂ (M=Co, X=NCS; M=Ni, X=Br). The i.r. spectra, electronic spectra and magnetic moments of the complexes are discussed.     

Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole

Summary Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole Ni(DTZ)X₂ (X = Cl or Br) and M(DTZ)₂X₂ (M = Ni, X = 1 or N03; M = Cu, X = Cl, Br or NO₃) have been prepared. The i.r. spectra show that in all the complexes the ligand is N,N- or N-bonded to the metal while the sulfur atom does not participate in coordination, and that the halide ions are coordinated forming terminal M-X bonds. The NO ₃ ^- group is coordinated in both the nitrato complexes. Magnetic moments of 3.07–3.29 B.M. for the nickel(II) and 1.86–1.92 B.M. for the copper(II) complexes were observed. The Ni(DTZ)X₂ complexes have a pseudo-tetrahedral [N₂X₂] coordination with N,N-bridging ligand molecules. The Ni(DTZ)₂X₂ and Cu(DTZ)₂X₂ complexes, with predominantly monodentate ligand, involve six-coordinate metal atoms with strong equatorial [N₂X₂] bonds and weaker axial bonds.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.     

Transition metal chemistry of oxime — Containing ligands,Part XXVIII; manganese(II) complexes of 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime

Summary Complexes of manganese(II) with the tridentate oxime ligand 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime (H₂dapd) have been synthesized and characterized. The complexes [Mn(H₂dapd)X₂] are pentacoordinate for X = Cl, Br or I but apparently octahedralvia bridging anions for X = NCS or NCSe. The complex [Mn(H₂dapd)(NO₃)₂] adopts an octahedral structure involving monodentate and bidentate coordination of nitro groups. The complexes [Mn(H₂dapd)₂]X₂ (X = Cl, Br, I, NO₃, NCS or NCSe) involve an octahedral cation.     

Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes with 4-amino-6-methyl-5-oxo-3-phenylamino-1,2,4-triazine

Summary Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of 4-amino-6-methyl-5-oxo-3-phenylamino-1,2,4-triazine (ATAZ), MX₂(ATAZ)₂ · 2 H₂O (M = Co or Ni; X = Cl, Br, I or NCS), have been isolated. The electronic spectra, magnetic moments and i.r. spectra of the compounds have been studied.Pseudo-octahedral environments are proposed for the complexes: [MX₂(ATAZ)₂]. 2 H₂O (M = Ni or Co; X = Cl or Br) and [CoI₂(ATAZ)₂(H₂O)₂], and apseudo-tetrahedral structure for [NiX₂(ATAZ)₂] · 2 H₂O (X = I or NCS) and [Co(NCS)₂-(ATAZ)₂] · 2 H,O. However, [CoX₂(ATAZ)₂]. 2 H₂O (X = Cl or Br) give acetone solutions containing tetrahedral cobalt(II).     

Reactions of nitrosyl chloride with [Ni(PPh3)2X2] (X=Cl,Br, NCS or NO3)

Summary Nitrosyl chloride has been treated with [Ni(PPh₃)₂X₂] (X = Cl, Br, NCS or NO₃) to obtain [Ni(PPh₃)XCl]₂ (X=Cl, Br, NCS or NO₃) and [Ni(OPPh₃)(SCN)Cl]₂. The compounds obtained were characterised by analyses, infrared (including far i.r.) and visible spectral studies, magnetic moment and conductivity measurements and many chemical reactions. It is proposed that the compounds have a dimeric structure with a distorted tetrahedral environment around the nickel atom and chloro-bridges.     

Chelate complexes of some NNO tridentate Schiff bases with iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

Summary The Schiff bases a-(C₅H₄N)CMe=NNHCOR (R = Ph, 2-thienyl or Me), prepared by condensation of 2-acetylpyridine with the acylhydrazines RCONHNH₂, coordinate in the deprotonated iminol form to yield the octahedral complexes, M[NNO]₂ M = Co or Ni; [NNOH] = Schiff base and the square-planar complexes, Pd[NNO]Cl. The Schiff bases also coordinate in the neutral keto form yielding the octahedral complexes (M[NNOH]2)Z2 (M = Ni, Co or Fe; Z = C104, BF₄ or N03) and complexes of the type M[NNOH]X2 (M = Ni, Co, Fe or Cu; X = Cl, Br or NCS). Spectral and x-ray diffraction data indicate that the complexes M[NNOH]X2 (M = Ni or Fe) are polymeric octahedral, as are the corresponding cobalt complexes having R = 2-thienyl. However, the cobalt complexes Co[NNOH]X2 (X = CI or Br; R = Ph or Me) and the copper complexes Cu[NNOH]CI₂ (R = Ph, 2-thienyl or Me) are five-coordinate, while the thiocyanato complex Co[NNOH](NCS)₂ (R = 2-thienyl) is tetrahedral.     

Synthesis,characterization and biological activities of some nickel(II) complexes of tridentate NNS ligands formed by condensation of 2-acetyl-and 2-benzoylpyridines with S-alkyldithiocarbazates

Summary Nickel(II) complexes of four tridentate NNS Schiff base ligands, derived by condensing 2-acetyl-and 2-benzoylpyridine with S-methyl- and S-benzoyldithiocarbazate, have been prepared and characterized. The monoligated complexes, [Ni(NNS)X] (NNS = anionic ligand; X = Cl, Br, NCS, I) are diamagnetic and square-planar, whereas the bis-ligand complexes, [Ni(NNS)₂] are paramagnetic and tetragonal. The Schiff bases are fungitoxic towards A. solani, F. equisetti and M. phaseolina (approaching the toxicity of the commercial fungicide Nystatin), but the nickel(II) complexes are less fungitoxic than the free ligands.     

Nickel(II) N‐Benzyl‐N‐methyldithiocarbamato Complexes as Precursors for the Preparation of Graphite Oxidation Accelerators

The nickel(II) N‐benzyl‐N‐methyldithiocarbamato (BzMedtc) complexes [Ni(BzMedtc)(PPh₃)Cl] ( 1 ), [Ni(BzMedtc)(PPh₃)Br] ( 2 ), [Ni(BzMedtc)(PPh₃)I] ( 3 ), and [Ni(BzMedtc)(PPh₃)(NCS)] ( 4 ) were synthesized using the reaction of [Ni(BzMedtc)₂] and [NiX₂(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, Br, I and NCS). Subsequently, complex 1 was used for the preparation of [Ni(BzMedtc)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ ( 5 ), [Ni(BzMedtc)(PPh₃)₂]BPh₄ ( 6 ), and [Ni(BzMedtc)(PPh₃)₂]PF₆ ( 7 ). The obtained complexes 1 – 7 were characterized by elemental analysis, thermal analysis and spectroscopic methods (IR, UV/Vis, ³¹P{¹H} NMR). The results of the magnetochemical and molar conductivity measurements proved the complexes as diamagnetic non‐electrolytes ( 1 – 4 ) or 1:1 electrolytes ( 5 – 7 ). The molecular structures of 4 and 5· H₂O were determined by a single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. In all cases, the Ni^II atom is tetracoordinated in a distorted square‐planar arrangement with the S₂PX, and S₂P₂ donor set, respectively. The catalytic influence of selected complexes 1 , 3 , 5 , and 6 on graphite oxidation was studied. The results clearly indicated that the presence of the products of thermal degradation processes of the mentioned complexes has impact on the course of graphite oxidation. A decrease in the oxidation start temperatures by about 60–100 °C was observed in the cases of all the tested complexes in comparison with pure graphite.     

Nickel(II) complexes of a thiosemicarbazone prepared from 2-Acetylpyridine

Summary The ligand 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane-3-thiocarboxylic acid 2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazide (HL), which is observed in an unusual tautomeric form in the solid state, and its selenium analogue (HLSe) have been used to prepare a series of nickel(II) complexes. Compounds of the general formula [NiLX] (X=Cl, Br, NCS, N₃, NO₂ or NCSe) as well as [Ni(LSe)Cl] have been found to be diamagnetic, planar complexes. A single crystal study of [NiL(NCS)] shows the deprotonated ligand bound in a tridentate mannervia its pyridyl nitrogen, imine nitrogen and the thione sulphur atom with the nitrogen atom of the thiocyanato-ligand occupying the fourth coordination position. The solids prepared from the nickel(II) salts having tetrafluoroborate, nitrate and iodide ions approximate to octahedral symmetry and have neutral HL ligands coordinated in a bidentate fashionvia the pyridine and imine nitrogens with the remaining coordination sites being occupied by the anions or water molecules. The [NiL₂] solid is also octahedral with the two deprotonated ligands bonding as tridentate groupsvia the same atoms as in the [NiLX] complexes.     

Zum Einfluß der Ringgröße auf die Struktur von Metallchelaten. IV. Palladium(II)- und Platin(II)-Komplexe pyridylsubstituierter Dialkylsulfide und -amine

The Influence of Ring Size on the Structure of Metal Chelates with Tridentate Ligands. IV. Palladium(II) and Platinum(II) Complexes of Pyridyl Substituted Dialkyl Sulfides and Amines [β-(Pyridyl-2)-ethyl]-[(pyridyl-2)-methyl]-amine(2,3-py₂tri) forms planar palladium(II) complexes [Pd(2,3-py₂tri)X]X (X = Cl, Br) occupying trans-positions as a tridentate ligand. An analogous behaviour is observed with bis[β-(pyridyl-2)-ethyl]-sulfide(3,3-py₂Stri) in the chelate compounds [Me^II(3,3-py₂Stri)X]X (Me^II = Pd, Pt; X = Cl, Br, J, SCN). On the other hand the rigid ligand bis[(pyridyl-2)-methyl]-sulfide(2,2-py₂Stri) is only bidentate in the complexes Me^II(2,2-py₂Stri)X₂ (Me^II = Pd, Pt; X = Cl, Br, J, SCN), one pyridine group does not interact with the central atom. The reasons are the angular relations within the thioether group of 2,2-py₂Stri which allow a tridentate coordination in a facial conformation (octahedral and trigonal-bipyramidal nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes), but not in a meridional one (planar palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes). In Pt(2,2-py₂Stri)(SCN)(NCS) one thiocyanato ligand is linked by sulfur, the other one by nitrogen.     

Symmetric Ni(II) dithiocarbamates with bidentate phosphines ligands

Ni(II) mononuclear dithiocarbamate complexes with bidentate P,P ligands of composition [Ni(R₂dtc)(P,P)]X {R?=?pentyl (pe), benzyl (bz); dtc?=?S₂CN^?; P,P?=?1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb), 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene (dppf); X?=?ClO₄, Cl, Br, NCS} and binuclear complexes of composition [Ni₂(μ-dpph)(R₂dtc)₂]X₂ with a P,P-bridging ligand {P,P?=?1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane (dpph); X?=?Cl, Br, NCS} have been synthesized. The complexes have been characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, IR, electronic and ³¹P{¹H}-NMR spectroscopy, magnetochemical and conductivity measurements. Single crystal X-ray analysis of [Ni(pe₂dtc)(dppf)]ClO₄ confirmed a distorted square planar coordination in the NiS₂P₂ chromophore. For selected samples, the catalysis of graphite oxidation was studied.     

Complexes of metal ions with phosphorus or arsenic containing ligands,part XX. Chelates ofo-phenylenebis(diarylarsines) with palladium(II) and platinum(II) halides,pseudohalides and perchlorates

Summary Two ditertiaryarsines,o-phenylenebis(diphenylarsine), (pdpa) ando-phenylenebis(di-p-tolylarsine), (pdta) yield some new complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II). These are: square planar M(pdta)X₂ · nCH₂Cl₂, [M = Pd, X = Cl, Br or NCS; M = Pt, X = Cl]; [Pt(A-A)₂] X₂ · nCH₂Cl₂, [(A-A) = pdta, X = Cl, NCS or ClO₄; (A-A) = pdpa, X=ClO₄] and [M₂(A-A)₂(NCS)₂] (ClO₄)₂ · nCH₂Cl₂, [M = Pd, (A-A) = pdta; M = Pt, (A-A) = pdpa]; distorted octahedral M(pdta)₂-X₂nCH₂Cl₂, [M = Pd, X = I; M = Pt, X = Br or I] and [Pd(pdta)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, and five coordinate [M(A-A)₂X] ClO₄ · nCH₂Cl₂, [M = Pd, Pt, (A-A) = pdta, X = I; M = Pt, (A-A) = pdpa, X = Br or I]. The [M₂(A-A)₂(NCS)₂] (ClO₄)₂ · nCH₂Cl₂ complexes are novel in the sense that they contain bridging thiocyanate together with ionic perchlorate. The stereochemical assignments have been made on the basis of i.r. and u.v. spectra as well as conductance data.     

Nickel(II) di(pentyl)dithiocarbamates with P ligands

Ni(II) di(pentyl)dithiocarbamates of composition [Ni(Pe₂dtc)₂], [NiX(Pe₂dtc)(PPh₃)] (X = Cl, Br, I, NCS), [Ni(NCS)(Pe₂dtc)(PBut₃)], [Ni(Pe₂dtc)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ and [Ni(Pe₂dtc)(PPh₃)₂]PF₆ (Pe₂dtc = di(pentyl)dithio-carbamate, PPh₃ = triphenylphosphine, PBut₃ = tributylphosphine) have been synthesized. The complexes have been characterized by the usual methods. X-ray structure analyses confirmed the nature of [NiI(Pe₂dtc)(PPh₃)] and [Ni(Pe₂dtc)(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄ complexes.     

Synthesis and characterization of copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of the Schiff base derived from 2-(2-aminophenyl)benzimidazole and salicylaldehyde

Summary Copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes with the Schiff base derived from 2-(2-aminophenyl)benzimidazole and salicylaldehyde, L, have been prepared. They are of the general types ML₂X₂ (M = Ni or Cu and X = Cl, Br, NO₃ or ClO₄) and NiL(NCS)₂.The compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, e.s.r., electronic and i.r. spectra studies. The i.r. spectra suggest that the molecule, and not the anion, of the Schiff base is coordinated as a bidentate ligand with the metal ion. Possible structures for the complexes have been proposed.     

Pt(II) ASSISTED DEOXYGENATION OF COORDINATED SULFOXIDES BY HYDROCHLORIC- OR HYDROBROMIC ACID

Abstract

The interaction of the complexes (Et₄ N)[Pt(R₂ SO)X₃] (R = Me, Et, CH₂ Ph, X [dbnd] C1; R [dbnd] Me, X [dbnd] Br) and cis-[Pt(Me₂ SO)₂ Cl₂] with concentrated HX (X [dbnd] Cl. Br) results in the reduction of the coordinated sulfoxides and oxidation of Pt(II) to Pt(IV). As a result [Pt(R₂ S)X₅ and [Pt(R₂S)₂ X₄] are formed. Ligands R₂ S can be removed from the complexes and isolated in a free state.     

Cobalt(II) Complexes of 4,6-Dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-one

Some cobalt(II) complexes of 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-one (HL) have been prepared and studied by infrared and electronic spectra and by magneto-chemical and conductometric measurements. The ligand is coordinated through the unprotonated ring-nitrogen atom and in one case also through the carbonylic oxygen atom. The “blue” complexes [CoX₂ · 2HL] (X₂ = Cl₂, ClBr, Br₂, (NCS)₂) and [CoX₂ · 2HL] · 2HL (X = Cl, Br) have a distorted C_2v [CoX₂N₂] coordination; the thiocyanate ion is N-bonded to the metal. The “green” complexes CoX₂ · 2HL (X = Cl(4H₂O), Br) have a square-pyramidal [CoX₂N₂O] coordination. The “pink” CoX₂ · 4HL · nH₂O (X = ClO₄, n = 2; X = BF₄, n = 8; X = F₃Ac, n = 4) and “cream” CoX₂ · 4HL · 6 H₂O (X = I, ClO₄) complexes have an octahedral coordination; only the F₃Ac^? ion is coordinated. The “cyclamen” CoAcL · 2HL · 2 H₂O and Co₃Ac₄L₂ · 2HL · 2H₂O complexes have a polynuclear constitution; the Ac^? ion behaves as bidentate ligand.     

Metal complexes of pyrimidine-derived ligands—IV. synthesis,characterisation and coordinating properties of two guanidino pyrimidines: Ni(II) complexes with 2-guanidino-4,6-dimethyl pyrimidine and 2-phenyl guanidino-4,6-dimethyl pyrimidine—potential ligands or biological interest

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation (IR, mass, PMR) of 2-guanidino 4,6-dimethyl pyrimidine (GPym) and 2-phenyl guanidino 4,6-dimethyl pyrimidine (PG-Pym) are reported. Complexation of the title ligands with nickel(II) salts in moisture-free condition furnish complex species of the type: Ni(GPym)₂X₂[X = Cl, Br, SCN and NO₃] and Ni(PGPym)₂X₂ [X = Cl, Br, I and SCN]. Physico-chemical characterisation of the complex species have been made from molar conductance data, magnetic susceptibility measurements, electronic and vibrational spectra. Magnetic and electronic spectral features suggest a pseudo-octahedral environment of the central Ni(II) ion in all these complexes. IR spectra have furnished positive information regarding the bonding sites of the ligand molecules (namely, the pyrimidyl nitrogen and the imino nitrogen of the guanidine residue) and the mode of the attachment of the counterion(X) to the metal ion.     

Studies on nickel (II) complexes of some poly(1-pyrazolyl)alkane ligands

Summary The coordinating behaviour of tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane, HCpz₃ and 2,2-bis(1-pyrazolyl)propane, Me₂Cpz₂ ligands towards nickel(II) salts has been investigated. Tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane yields stable, solid complexes of the type [Ni(HCpz₃)X.H₂O].nH₂O (X=Cl, n=2; AcO, N=1) and [Ni(HCpz₃)₂]X₂ (X = Br, I, NO₃, or IO₄) whilst Me₂Cpz₂ ligand does not. However, Me₂Cpz₂ in the presence of poor coordinating polyanions such as BF ₄ ^– and PF ₆ ^– reacts readily to give stable complexes of the type [Ni(Me₂Cpz₂)₂X]Y (X=Cl, NO₃, or AcO and Y=BF₄ or PF₆). The complexes have been characterised by elemental analysis, magnetic moments, electronic and infrared absorption spectra. An octahedral structure has been proposed for the complexes [Ni(HCpz₃)X₂ · H₂O] · nH₂O with one water molecule occupying an axial position. An octahedral structure has also been proposed for the complex ions, [Ni(HCpz₃)₂]²⁺ and [Ni(Me₂Cpz₂)₂X]⁺(X = NO₃ or AcO) with the anion X acting as a bidentate ligand whilst [Ni(Me₂Cpz₂)₂Cl]⁺ is considered to have a square pyramidal structure.     

PSEUDOTETRAHEDRAL METAL (II) COMPLEXES OF TRIS- (t-BUTYL) PHOSPHINE

Abstract

The synthesis of divalent metal complexes of the type [Bu^t ₃PH] [(Bu^t ₃P)MX₃] (M = Ni; X = Cl, Br, I; M = Co; X = Br; M = Zn; X = Cl) is reported. Characterization of the solids by conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, electronic and vibrational spectral measurements indicate that the structures are similar and unchanged in solution from the solid state. On the basis of an earlier X-ray single crystal analysis of [Bu^t ₃PH] [(Bu^t ₃P)NiBr₃] and a comparison of the physical measurements for the series of complexes, the inner coordination geometry of the anions can be represented as pseudotetrahedral with C_3v local symmetry. The unexpected formation of these ionic complexes is attributed to the bulkiness of tris-(t-butyl) phosphine. The isolation and probable geometry of the anion are also discussed for an orange-brown [Bu^t ₃PH] [Ni(NCS)₃] complex.     

Mixed dimethyl sulfoxide-thiocarbamic ester complexes of platinum(II) halides

Summary The platinum(II) halidecis-[Pt(DMTC)(DMSO)X₂] andcis-[Pt(DETC)(DMSO)X₂](X=Cl or Br; DMSO=dimethyl sulfoxide; DMTC=EtOSCN-Me₂; DETC=EtOSCNEt₂) adducts and the platinum(II) and palladium(II) halide adducts,trans-[M(DETC)₂X₂] (M=Pt or Pd; X=Cl or Br), have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by i.r., and¹H and¹³Cn.m.r. spectroscopy. Both DMTC and DETC coordinate through the sulphur atoms. The 1:2 DETC complexes present the usualtrans configuration, whereas the presence of DMSO favourscis geometry in the mixed species.
