Reactions of the latter with nitrogen-containing bases were studied. The kinetic parameters of the transmetalation of (octaphenyltetraazaporphyrinato) magnesium(II) with MnCl₂ in dimethylformamide at 323, 333, and 343 K were determined, and a probable reaction mechanism was proposed.     

Pnictogen-thiacrown complexes with Pt(II) and Pd(II)

Platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes of the trithiacrown [9]aneS(3) containing a range of Group 15 donors are reviewed. These complexes have the general formula [M([9]aneS(3))(L(2))](n+) where L represents at least one Group 15 donor. Complexes involving pnictogens, with the exception of bismuth, are observed. The complexes generally have an elongated square pyramidal geometry with a long distance interaction to the third sulphur of the [9]aneS(3) which forms the apex of the square pyramid. This axial metal-sulphur distance is quite sensitive to the donor properties of L. Poorer donors such as Sb and As ligands show short axial distances whereas the better N donor ligands show longer distances. Pt(II) complexes of the formula [Pt([9]aneS(3))(EPh(3))(2)](2+) (E = P, As, Sb) show a considerable distortion towards a trigonal bipyramidal geometry due to intramolecular π-π interactions. Over seventy of these types of complexes have been crystallographically characterized and are discussed in this article. Other unique features of the complexes, including NMR spectroscopy, redox chemistry, and electronic spectroscopy, are also discussed.     

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with lapachol

Complexes of naturally occurring hydroxynaphtho-quinone, lapachol (2-hydroxy-3(3-methyl-2-buthenyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone = HL) with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) have been prepared by reaction of the corresponding acetates with the ligand (HL) in ethanol. The molecular and crystal structures were determined for [CoL₂(EtOH)₂] (1), [NiL₂(EtOH)₂] (2), and [CuL₂(py)₂] (3). In all cases the deprotonated lapachol behaves as chelating bidentate ligand. The complexes were also characterized by elemental analyses, cyclic voltammetry, and FAB-MS.     

Complexes of dicamba with cadmium(II), copper(II), mercury(II), lead(II) and zinc(II)

New solid complexes of a herbicide known as dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) with Pb(II), Cd(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) of the general formula M(dicamba)₂·xH₂O (M=metal, x=0-2) and Zn₂(OH)(dicamba)₃·2H₂O have been prepared and studied. The complexes have different crystal structures. The carboxylate groups in the lead, cadmium and copper complexes are bidentate, chelating, symmetrical, in Hg(dicamba)₂·2H₂O - unidentate, and in the zinc salt - bidentate, bridging, symmetrical. The anhydrous compounds decompose in three stages, except for the lead salt whose decomposition proceeds in four stages. The main gaseous decomposition products are CO₂, CH₃OH, HCl and H₂O. Trace amounts of compounds containing an aromatic ring were also detected. The final solid decomposition products are oxychlorides of metals and CuO. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes with substituted pyrimidines

Summary Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) complexes with 2-mercaptopyrimidine, 2-thiocytosine (4-aminopyrimidine 2-thione), and isocytosine (2-amino-4-hydroxy pyrimidine) were prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, conductivity data, i.r.,¹H n.m.r. and¹³C n.M.r. spectral studies. 2-Mercaptopyrimidine and 2-thiocytosine are coordinated to the metal ion through N(3) and C₂S, thus forming a four-membered chelate ring. Isocytosine acts as a monodentate ligand and coordinates to the metal ion through N(1). All the complexes are non-electrolytes.

The three complexes are isostructural. There are three bridges across the Ni–M atom pairs (M is Co²⁺, Cu²⁺ or Mn²⁺) in each complex, involving two O atoms of a μ‐N,N′‐bis­(salicyl­idene)‐2,2′di­methyl‐1,3‐propane­diaminate ligand and an N—O moiety of a μ‐nitrito group. The coordination sphere around each metal atom, whether Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Mn²⁺ or Ni²⁺, can be described as distorted octahedral. The Ni?M distances are 2.9988 (5) Å in (I), 2.9872 (5) Å in (II) and 3.0624 (8) Å in (III).

Palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with N-substituted methionines

Summary As an approach to systems containing methionine residues, 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (HDh, dehydroacetic acid) was treated with L-methionine (MetH) or L-methionine methylester (MetM). By condensation at the acyl group and transfer of the phenolic hydrogen on the nitrogen atom, the related ligands DhMetH and DhMetM, were isolated, and form complexes of formula [MX₂(L)₂](M = Pd or Pt, L = DhMetM, X = Cl, Br or I; L = DhMetH, X = Cl or Br) and [MI₂(DhMetH)] with palladium and platinum dihalides. The reaction of the DhMetK carboxylate with MCl₂ in various media is discussed. Ligands and complexes were characterized by i.r. and n.m.r. (¹H and¹³C) spectroscopy and, in some cases, by thermogravimetric measurements. The ligands behave as monodentate sulphur donors, the 12 complexes showing atrans geometry except for [PtCl₂(DhMetH)₂], which is probably a mixture ofcis andtrans isomers.

Complexes of zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) halides with ethylenselenourea

Summary Reaction of zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) halides with ethylenselenourea yields complexes of general formula ML₂X₂ where X = Cl, Br, I. On the basis of an i.r. comparison of these complexes and their ethylenthiourea analogues in the 4000-200 cm^–1 range, it appears that the ethylenselenourea complexes are monomeric, tetrahedral and Se-bonded to the metals. The metal-halogen and metal-ligand vibrations above 200 cm^–1 are identified.This work was supported by the National Research Council (C.N.R.) of Italy.

Complexes of cyclocarbohydroxamic acids with cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

A spectroscopic investigation of the reactions of cyclopropanecarbohydroxamic acid (CPAH) with CoII and of cyclohexylacetohydroxamic acid (CHAH) with CoII, NiII and CuII in aqueous solution reveals the sole formation 1:2 complexes at equilibrium.
