The First Examples of Selenidogermanate Salts with Lanthanide Complex Counter Cations: Solvothermal Syntheses and Characterizations of [{Ln(en)3}2(μ‐OH)2]Ge2Se6 (Ln = Eu,Ho) and [{Ho(dien)2}2(μ‐OH)2]Ge2Se6

The lanthanide selenidogermanates [{Eu(en)₃}₂(μ‐OH)₂]Ge₂Se₆ ( 1 ), [{Ho(en)₃}₂(μ‐OH)₂]Ge₂Se₆ ( 2 ), and [{Ho(dien)₂}₂(μ‐OH)₂]Ge₂Se₆ ( 3 ) (en = ethylenediamine, dien = diethylenetriamine) were solvothermally prepared by the reactions of Eu₂O₃ (or Ho₂O₃), germanium, and selenium in en and dien solvents respectively. Compounds 1 – 3 are composed of selenidogermanate [Ge₂Se₆]^4– anion and dinuclear lanthanide complex cation [{Ln(en)₃}₂(μ‐OH)₂]⁴⁺ (Ln = Eu, Ho) or [{Ho(dien)₂}₂(μ‐OH)₂]⁴⁺. The [Ge₂Se₆]^4– anion is composed of two GeSe₄ tetrahedra sharing a common edge. The dinuclear lanthanide complex cations are built up from two [Ln(en)₃]³⁺ or [Ho(dien)₂]³⁺ ions joined by two μ‐OH bridges. All lanthanide(III) ions are in eight‐coordinate environments forming distorted bicapped trigonal prisms. In 1 – 3 , three‐dimensional supramolecular networks of the anions and cations are formed by N–H ··· Se and N–H ··· O hydrogen bonds. To the best of our knowledge, 1 – 3 are the first examples of selenidogermanate salts with lanthanide complex counter cations.     

Studies on the rate of isotopic oxygen exchange between [Re(py)4O2]+ and solvent water

The rate of oxygen exchange between trans-[Re(py)₄O₂]⁺ and solvent water in pypyH⁺ buffer solution follows simple first-order kinetics and both oxygens are equivalent. The half-life for isotopic oxygen exchange is about 12 h at a pH of 5.0, 25°C, and [py] = 0.10 M. The observed rate constant for exchange increases with acidity, in the pH range 4 to 6, decreases with [py], and is nearly independent of ionic strength. A small but significant increase of k_obs occurs with increasing complex concentration. The rate of exchange follows the rate equation k_obs/2 = k₀ + k₁/[py] with k₀ = 1.4 × 10^?5(2) s^?1 and k₁ = 4.7 × 10^?7(1) M, s^?1 at 25°C. The activation parameters for the reaction at pH = 7.15 (predominately the k₀ term) are: ΔH* = +137.(1) kJ/M and ΔS* = +126.(1) J/MK. The pH effect and complex concentration effect are discussed in mechanistic terms. These results are compared to those found for [Re(en)₂O₂]⁺ and [Re(CN)₄O₂]^3?.     

Three New Thioantimonates(V): Solvothermal Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [M(chxn)3]3(SbS4)2·4H2O (M = Ni,Co) and [Co(dien)2][Co(tren)SbS4]2·4H2O

The three new thioantimonates(V) [Ni(chxn)₃]₃(SbS₄)₂·4H₂O ( I ), [Co(chxn)₃]₃(SbS₄)₂·4H₂O ( II ) (chxn is trans‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane) and [Co(dien)₂][Co(tren)SbS₄]₂·4H₂O ( III ) (dien is diethylenetriamine and tren is tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Compounds I and II are isostructural crystallizing in space group C2/c. The structures are composed of isolated [M(chxn)₃]²⁺ complexes (M = Ni, Co), [SbS₄]^3? anions and crystal water molecules. Short S···N/S···O/O···O separations indicate hydrogen bonding interactions between the different constituents. Compound III crystallizes in space group and is composed of [Co(dien)₂]²⁺ and [Co(tren)SbS₄]^? anions and crystal water molecules. In the cationic complex the Co²⁺ ion is in an octahedral environment of two dien ligands whereas in [Co(tren)SbS₄]^? the Co²⁺ ion is in a trigonal bipyramidal coordination of four N atoms of tren and one S atom of the [SbS₄]^3? anion, i.e., two different coordination polyhedra around Co²⁺ coexist in this compound. Like in the former compounds an extended hydrogen bonding network connects the complexes and the water molecules into a three‐dimensional network.     

Bis(methanol‐κO)dioxido[3,3′‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3,5‐diyl)diphenolato‐κ3O,N4,O′]uranium(VI) methanol monosolvate

The structure of the title compound, [U(C₁₄H₉N₃O₂)O₂(CH₃OH)₂]·CH₃OH, is the first to be reported for an actinide complex including triazole ligands. The U^VI atom exhibits a pentagonal–bipyramidal NO₆ coordination environment, involving two axial oxide ligands [U=O = 1.766 (3) and 1.789 (3) Å], four equatorial O atoms [U—O = 2.269 (3)–2.448 (3) Å] from the ligand and the two coordinated methanol molecules, and one equatorial N atom [U—N = 2.513 (4) Å] from the ligand. In the crystal structure, the complex molecules are linked via intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a two‐dimensional structure.     

Equilibrium,kinetics, and mechanism of the malonic acid–iodine reaction

The equilibrium constant for the reaction CH₂(COOH)₂ + I₃^? ? CHI(COOH)₂ + 2I^? + H⁺, measured spectrophotometrically at 25°C and ionic strength 1.00M (NaClO₄), is (2.79 ± 0.48) × 10^?4M². Stopped-flow kinetic measurements at 25°C and ionic strength 1.00M with [H⁺] = (2.09-95.0) × 10^?3M and [I^?] = (1.23-26.1) × 10^?3M indicate that the rate of the forward reaction is given by (k₁[I₂] + k₃[I₃^?]) [HOOCCH₂COO^?] + (k₂[I₂] + k₄[I₃^?]) [CH(COOH)₂] + k₅[H⁺] [I₃^?] [CH₂(COOH)₂]. The values of the rate constants k₁-k₅ are (1.21 ± 0.31) × 10², (2.41 ± 0.15) × 10¹, (1.16 ± 0.33) × 10¹, (8.7 ± 4.5) × 10^?1M^?1·sec^?1, and (3.20 ± 0.56) × 10¹M^?2·sec^?1, respectively. The rate of enolization of malonic acid, measured by the bromine scavenging technique, is given by k_en[CH₂(COOH)₂], with k_en = 2.0 × 10^?3 + 1.0 × 10^?2 [CH₂(COOH)₂]. An intramolecular mechanism, featuring a six-member cyclic transition state, is postulated to account for the results on the enolization of malonic acid. The reactions of the enol, enolate ion, and protonated enol with iodine and/or triodide ion are proposed to account for the various rate terms.     

Reactions of mer(exo)‐ and mer(endo)‐[Co(dien)(dapo)X]2+ Isomers (X=OH,Cl, ONO2, N3)

Properties indirectly determined, or alluded to, in previous publications on the titled isomers have been measured, and the results generally support the earlier conclusions. Thus, the common five‐coordinate intermediate generated in the OH^?‐catalyzed hydrolysis of exo‐ and endo‐[Co(dien)(dapo)X]²⁺ (X=Cl, ONO₂) has the same properties as that generated in the rapid spontaneous loss of OH^? from exo‐ and endo‐[Co(dien)(dapo)OH]²⁺ (40±2% endo‐OH, 60±2% exo‐OH) and an unusually large capacity for capturing (R=[CoN₃]/[CoOH][]=1.3; exo‐[CoN₃]/endo‐[CoN₃]=2.1±0.1). Solvent exchange for spontaneous loss of OH^? from exo‐[Co(dien)(dapo)OH]²⁺ has been measured at 0.04 s^?1 (k₁, 0.50M NaClO₄, 25°) from which similar loss from the endo‐OH isomer may be calculated as 0.24 s^?1 (k₂). The OH^?‐catalyzed reactions of exo‐ and endo‐[Co(dien)(dapo)N₃]²⁺ result in both hydrolysis of coordinated via an OH^?‐limiting process =153 M ^?1 s^?1; =295 M ^?1 s^?1; K_H=1.3±0.1 M ^?1; 0.50M NaClO₄, 25.0°) and direct epimerization between the two reactants =33 M ^?1 s^?1; =110 M ^?1 s^?1; 1.0M NaClO₄, 25.0°). Comparisons are made with other rapidly reacting Co^III‐acido systems.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Hydrogen Bonding of μ‐Hydroxo‐μ‐peroxo‐bis[bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III)] Squarate

Black‐brown needle‐shaped single crystals of [Co₂(en)₄(O₂)(OH)][C₄O₄]_1.5 · 4H₂O (en = ethylenediamine) were prepared in aqueous solution at room temperature [space group P$\bar{1}$ (no.2) with a = 800.20(8), b = 1225.48(7), c = 1403.84(9) pm, α = 100.282(5), β = 94.515(7), and γ = 95.596(6)°]. The Co³⁺ cations [Co(1), Co(2)] are coordinated in an octahedral manner by four nitrogen atoms stemming from the ethylenediamine molecules and two oxygen atoms each from a hydroxo group and a peroxo group, respectively. Both Co³⁺ coordination polyhedra are connected by a common corner and by the peroxo group leading to the dinuclear [(en)₂Co(O₂)(OH)Co(en)₂]³⁺ cation. The squarate dianions, not bonded to Co³⁺, and the [(en)₂Co(O₂)(OH)Co(en)₂]³⁺ cations are linked by hydrogen bonds forming a three‐dimensional supramolecular network containing water molecules. Magnetic measurements revealed a diamagnetic behavior indicating a low‐spin electron configuration of Co³⁺. The UV/Vis spectra show two LMCT bands [π*(O₂^2–) → d_σ*(Co³⁺)] at 274 and 368 nm and the d–d transition (¹A_1g → ¹T_1g) at 542 nm. Thermoanalytical investigations in air show that the compound is stable up to 120 °C. Subsequent decomposition processes to cobalt oxide are finished at 460 °C.

Rate constants for the reactions of OH and NO₃ radicals with CH₂?CHF (k₁ and k₄), CH₂?CF₂ (k₂ and k₅), and CHF?CF₂ (k₃ and k₆) were determined by means of a relative rate method. The rate constants for OH radical reactions at 253–328 K were k₁ = (1.20 ± 0.37) × 10^?12 exp[(410 ± 90)/T], k₂ = (1.51 ± 0.37) × 10^?12 exp[(190 ± 70)/T], and k₃ = (2.53 ± 0.60) × 10^?12 exp[(340 ± 70)/T] cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. The rate constants for NO₃ radical reactions at 298 K were k₄ = (1.78 ± 0.12) × 10^?16 (CH₂?CHF), k₅ = (1.23 ± 0.02) × 10^?16 (CH₂?CF₂), and k₆ = (1.86 ± 0.09) × 10^?16 (CHF?CF₂) cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. The rate constants for O₃ reactions with CH₂?CHF (k₇), CH₂?CF₂ (k₈), and CHF?CF₂ (k₉) were determined by means of an absolute rate method: k₇ = (1.52 ± 0.22) × 10^?15 exp[?(2280 ± 40)/T], k₈ = (4.91 ± 2.30) × 10^?16 exp[?(3360 ± 130)/T], and k₉ = (5.70 ± 4.04) × 10^?16 exp[?(2580 ± 200)/T] cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 at 236–308 K. The errors reported are ±2 standard deviations and represent precision only. The tropospheric lifetimes of CH₂?CHF, CH₂?CF₂, and CHF?CF₂ with respect to reaction with OH radicals, NO₃ radicals, and O₃ were calculated to be 2.3, 4.4, and 1.6 days, respectively. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate chelating phen ligands and two water O atoms or two carboxyl O atoms (d(Mn–O) = 2.088–2.129 Å, d(Mn–N) = 2.277–2.355 Å). Interestingly, the succinato ligands in the complex molecules assume gauche conformation bidentately to chelate the Mn atoms into seven‐membered rings.     

OXYGEN COMPLEX FORMATION BY COBALT(II)-TRIS (2-AMINOETHYL) AMINE+

Abstract

The reversible oxygenation of the Co(II) complex of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN, L) has been studied in some detail. The equilibrium constant K _O2 =10^26.92 M^?2 atm^?1, corresponding to the quotient [H⁺] [L₂Co₂(O₂) (OH)³⁺]/[Co²⁺]² [L]² P_O2 was determined by potentiometric equilibrium measurements of hydrogen ion concentration. Values for the thermodynamic constants, ΔH° =–63 ± 9 kcal/mole and ΔS° =–100 ± 15 cal/deg. mol, were calculated from the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant. Oxygen stoichiometry, measured with a polarographic sensor, indicated the formation of a binuclear (peroxo bridged) complex, and the potentiometric equilibrium data indicated the presence of a second, μ-hydroxo, bridge. Measurement of the kinetics of the fast reaction between the cobalt(II)-TREN complex and dioxygen gave the value of the second order rate constant for the formation of the dioxygen complex as k ₁ =2.8 × 10⁺³ sec^?1 mol^?1. The first order rate constant for the decomposition of the dioxygen complex measured by stopped-flow was found to be k _?2 =0.7 sec^?1. Kinetic and equilibrium data are discussed with respect to the probable structure and mechanism of formation of the dioxygen complex, and are compared with similar data previously reported for analogous complexes. The oxygen complex reported is unique with respect to its extremely slow rate of conversion to inert cobalt(III) complexes.     

A Structural Study of the Iminodiacetate Moiety Conformation in N‐(1‐adamantyl)‐iminodiacetate(2‐) Copper(II) Complexes

N,N‐bis(carboxymethyl)‐1‐adamantylamine acid (H₂BCAA) or N‐(1‐adamantyl)‐iminodiacetic acid forms zwitterions that are intra‐stabilized by a ‘bifurcated’ N⁺‐H···O(carboxyl)₂ interaction. In the crystal, both half‐protonated carboxyl groups of H₂BCAA^± are involved in linear O‐H···O inter‐molecular bridges of 2.46Å. In the studied BCAA‐Cu^II derivatives, the iminodiacetate‐moiety of the BCAA chelating ligand exhibits a mer‐NO₂ conformation in [Cu(BCAA)(H₂O)₂] ( 1 ) and [Cu(BCAA)(Him)]₂ ( 2 ), but a fac‐O₂+N(apical) conformation in [Cu(BCAA)(bpy)(H₂O)]·3.5H₂O ( 3 ) [Him = imidazole, bpy =2,2′‐bipyridine]. In clear contrast, dipyridylamine (dpya), as auxiliary ligand, seems to be unable to promote the fac‐O₂+N(apical) conformation in BCAA, as reveal the structures of two new salts with the trinuclear cation [(dpya)₂Cu‐μ₂‐Cu(BCAA)₂‐Cu(dpya)₂]²⁺ and the anions [Cu(BCAA)₂]^2? ( 4 ) or NO₃^? ( 5 ), respectively.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cu2(H2O)2(phen)2(OH)2][Cu2(phen)2(OH)2(CO3)2] · 10 H2O with phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline

The blue copper complex [Cu₂(H₂O)₂(phen)₂(OH)₂][Cu₂(phen)₂(OH)₂(CO₃)₂] · 10 H₂O, which was prepared by reaction of 1,10‐phenanthroline monohydrate, CuCl₂ · 2 H₂O and Na₂CO₃ in the presence of succinic acid in CH3OH/H₂O at pH = 13.0, crystallized in the triclinic space group P1 (no. 2) with cell dimensions: a = 9.515(1) Å, b = 12.039(1) Å, c = 12.412(2) Å, α = 70.16(1)°, β = 85.45(1)°, γ = 81.85(1)°, V = 1323.2(2) ų, Z = 1. The crystal structure consists of dinuclear [Cu₂(H₂O)₂(phen)₂(OH)₂]²⁺ complex cations, dinuclear [Cu₂(phen)₂(OH)₂(CO₃)₂]^2– complex anions and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. In both the centrosymmetric dinuclear cation and anion, the Cu atoms are coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand, three O atoms of two μ‐OH groups and respectively one H₂O molecule or one CO₃^2– anion to complete distorted [CuN₂O₃] square‐pyramids with the H₂O molecule or the CO₃^2– anion at the apical position (equatorial d(Cu–O) = 1.939–1.961 Å, d(Cu–N) = 2.026–2.051 Å and axial d(Cu–O) = 2.194, 2.252 Å). Two adjacent [CuN₂O₃] square pyramids are condensed via two μ‐OH groups. Through the interionic hydrogen bonds, the dinuclear cations and anions are linked into 1D chains with parallel phen ligands on both sides. Interdigitation of phen ligands of neighboring 1D chains generated 2D layers, between which the hydrogen bonded water molecules are sandwiched.

In this paper, we have illustrated the utilisation of a second-sphere coordination approach to construct supramolecular inclusion solids with varieties of guest molecules. A flexible molecule N,N,N′,N′-tetra-p-methylbenzyl-ethylenediamine (L1) bearing doubly protonated H-bond donors was designed, capable of forming N–H…Cl hydrogen bonds with a crystallographically unique chloride anion, to construct an anion-directed ligand. The pillared double-layered host framework was constructed by an anion-directed ligand and primary coordination sphere [CoCl₄]^2 ?  through weak C–H…Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions. A variety of guest molecules, such as p-anisaldehyde, 1,4-dimethoxy-2,5-bis(methoxymethyl)benzene, can be included, leading to the formation of novel supramolecular inclusion solids: [L1]·4[H]⁺·[CoCl₄]^2 ? ·2Cl^? ·1.5[C₈H₈O₂]·0.25[CH₃OH] (1) and [L1]·4[H]⁺·[CoCl₄]^2 ? ·2Cl^? ·1.5[C₁₂H₂₀O₄]·0.5[CH₃OH] (2).

We have presented herein the utilisation of a second-sphere coordination approach to construct supramolecular inclusion solids with a variety of guest molecules. A novel type of a pillared double-layered host framework was constructed by a second-sphere coordination between the anion-directed ligand (L1 = N,N,N′,N′-tetra-p-methylbenzyl-ethylenediamine) and [CoCl₄]^2 ?  through weak C–H…Cl hydrogen-bonding interaction, and a variety of guest molecules, such as p-anisaldehyde, 1,4-dimethoxy-2,5-bis(methoxymethyl)benzene, can be included, leading to the formation of supramolecular inclusion solids: [L1]·4[H]⁺·[CoCl₄]^2 ? ·2Cl^? ·1.5[C₈H₈O₂]·0.25[CH₃OH] (1) and [L1]·4[H]⁺·[CoCl₄]^2 ? ·2Cl^? ·1.5[C₁₂H₂₀O₄]·0.5[CH₃OH] (2)
