Dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex with N,N′- ethylenebis(salicylideneimine)

The interaction of N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneimine), H₂salen, with ammonium molybdate yielded the molybdenum(VI) complex MoO₂(salen) with the cis-dioxostructure as inferred from IR spectral studies. The ¹H NMR chemical shifts of azomethine protons in the free ligand and the complex are 8.14 and 8.39 δ, respectively, suggesting the bonding of the azomethine nitrogen to MoO₂ group. The thermal decomposition behaviour of the complex is discussed.     

Five coordinate complexes of N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide with copper Crystal and molecular structures of dichloro(N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamido)copper(II) and chloro(perchlorato)(N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamido)copper(II)

The title compound N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (DEAP) forms a 1:1 complex with anhydrous CuCl₂, [Cu(DEAP)Cl₂], (1) which was crystallized from EtOH solution in the monoclinic space group P2_{1/ n} with cell constant, a = 10.024(1); b = 13.122(1); c = 14.404(1) Å β = 101.31(1)° V = 1857.8(3) ų and Z = 4. The chloro-perchlorato complex, [Cu(DEAP)Cl(ClO₄)], (2) obtained in near quantitative yield by reacting (1) with an excess of NaClO₄ in EtOH, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2_{1/ n} with cell constants, a = 7.965(1); b = 25.827(2); c = 10.046(1) Å β = 98.81(1)° V = 2042.2(4) ų and Z = 4. Both (1) and (2) contain 5-coordinated copper linked to DEAP through O～N～O donor set of atoms with covalently bonded chlorine atoms in (1) and chlorine and perchlorate groups in (2). The coordination geometry is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, and is probably best described as a trigonally distorted rectangular pyramid.     

Kristallstruktur von N,N,N′,N′-Tetraisopropyl-p-phenylen-diammonium-dichlorid und-bis(tetrachloroaluminat)

Summary Protonation of the sterically overcrowded N,N,N,N-tetraisopropyl-p-phenylenediamine leads to a significant shortening of the C-N bond lengths of 7 pm as well as to a widening of the phenyl ipso-angle to 122°. All structural changes can be attributed to the twisted diisopropylammonium substituents and their electron acceptor properties.

Heterobinuclear copper(II)–lanthanoid(III) complexes bridged by N,N′-oxamidobis(benzoato)cuprate(II)

Eight new -oxamido-bridged copper(II)–lanthanoid(III) heterobinuclear complexes described by the overall formula Cu(obbz)Ln(Me-phen)₂NO₃ (Ln = Y, La, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er), where obbz denotes the oxamidobis(benzoato) and Me-phen represents 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me-phen), have been synthesized and characterized by the elemental analyses, spectroscopic (i.r., u.v., e.s.r.) studies, magnetic moments (at room temperature) and by molar conductivity measurements. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Cu(obbz)Gd(Me-phen)₂NO₃ has also been measured over the 4.2 300 K range. The least-squares fit of the experimental susceptibilities based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, = –2 J ₁ · ₂, yielded J = + 2.18 cm^–1. The observed Gd^III–Cu^II coupling is ferromagnetic. A plausible mechanism for a ferromagnetic coupling between Gd^III–Cu^II is discussed in terms of spin-polarization.

The second-mentioned reagent has also been successfully reacted with a β-chloro-α,β-unsaturated ester³.     

Spin crossover studies in tris(N,N′-dialkyldithiocarbamato)iron(III) complexes

A series of fifteen complexes of the type [Fe(RRNCS₂)₃] with symmetric (R=R=n- C₆H₁₃, n-C₈H₁₇, CH₂–CH=;CH₂, C₆H₅, C₆H₁₁ and C₆H₅CH₂), unsymmetric (R = CH₃; R = n-C₄H₉, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅ and R = C₂H₅; R = n-C₄H₉, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅ and i-C₃H₇) and ring substituents (RNR=pyrrolidyl and piperidyl) have been synthesized and their magnetic moments and Mössbauer spectra recorded from room temperature (RT) to liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT). Room temperature Mössbauer spectra of all the complexes exhibit an asymmetric doublet, which could be resolved into two doublets, each corresponding to low and high spin states in equilibrium. The crystal structure of tris(N, N-diallyldithiocarbamato)iron(III) shows it to be monoclinic with trigonally distorted octahedral geometry and space group C2/c. Fe–S stretching vibrations in the far i.r. region also show equilibria, HS LS. Depending on the nature of the alkyl group substituent, variable temperature magnetic moment and Mössbauer spectral studies, all the complexes may be divided into three groups; high spin complexes exhibiting spin-crossover (⁶A_1g ²T_2g), high spin complexes exhibiting spin transition (⁶A_1g ⁴T_1g) and intermediate spin complexes showing spin transition (⁴A_1g ²T_2g). On the basis of areas of the two doublets corresponding to high and low spin states, their percent contributions were calculated. Furthermore, magnetic moments of the equilibrium mixture calculated on the basis of respective areas compare well with the experimentally determined _eff values. E_Q values for both high and low spin states show linear decrease with increasing temperature.     

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkylpyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dapt) complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II)

Reactions of anhydrous CoX₂ (X?=?Br^?, SCN^?) and Ni(ClO₄)₂ with N,N,N′,N′-tetraisobutylpyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dbpt), N,N,N′,N′-tetraisopropyl pyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dppt), and N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxamides (S-dept) lead to the formation of [Co(S-dbpt)Br₂] (1), [Co(S-dppt)(SCN)₂] (2), and [Ni(S-dept)₂]·(ClO₄)₂·H₂O (3), respectively. The X-ray crystal structures of the three S-dapt ligands and three complexes along with spectroscopic analyzes are presented. The molecular structure investigations of the S-dapt ligands show that the thiamide planes are twisted with respect to the pyridine ring, which is more in the case of phenyl groups. The structures of the Co(II) complexes reveal that an increase in steric crowding on the amide side arms of the ligands has no substantial effect on the geometry adopted by the corresponding complexes. The Co(II) gives only 1?:?1 five-coordinate, ion-paired complexes with a distorted square pyramidal geometry. Ni(II), on the other hand, prefers an octahedral geometry with 1?:?2 metal–ligand ratio. The coordination behavior of S-dapt has been compared to the analogous oxo(O-daap) ligands. Lesser propensity of S atom to get involved in H-bonding interactions ensures an S-N-S type of tridentate coordination by S-dapt.

Abstract

Copper(I) and zinc(II) complexes with N,N′-bis(2-pyridinyl)thiourea (BPT), [Cu(BPT)₂]ClO₄ (1) and [Zn(BPT)₂](ClO₄)₂ (2) were synthesized by reaction of M(ClO₄)₂ (M = Cu, Zn) with BPT in methanol solution. The crystal structures of complexes (1) and (2) were characterized by X-ray diffraction: (1) is triclinic, space group P, with a = 10.162(2), b=14.483(6), c = 9.496(2) Å, α = 105.80(2)°, β = 106.94(2)°, γ = 82.71(3)°, V = 1284.4(7) ų, Z = 2, and final R = 0.047, R _w = 0.061; (2) is monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 15.15(1), b = 6.299(3), c = 30.16(1)Å, β = 93.49(7)°, V = 2872(2)ų, Z=4, and final R = 0.049, R_w = 0.070. Both of the complexes exhibit novel structures. Two N atoms and two S atoms from two BPT groups coordinate to one M atom. The M atom shows distorted tetrahedral geometry. IR spectra and ther-moanalyses of BPT and its complexes (1) and (2) are briefly discussed.     

Structural characterization of dicyanidobis-(N,N′-dimethylthiourea-κS)cadmium(II)

A cadmium(II) complex dicyanidobis(N,N′-dimethylthiourea-S) cadmium(II) [Cd(Dmtu)₂(CN)₂] (1) is prepared and its structure in the solid state is determined by single crystal X-ray structural analysis. The cadmium(II) ion is four-coordinate having a distorted tetrahedral geometry composed of two cyanide C atoms and two thione S atoms of N,N′-dimethylthiourea (dmtu). The molecular structure is stabilized by intermolecular N-H…N(CN) hydrogen bonding interactions that lead to a 3D network structure. The complex was also characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy.     

cis-Bis[N1,N2-bis(trimethylsilyl)benz­amidinato-κ2N1,N2]chloro(4-tolyl­imido-κN)vanadium(V)

Synthesis and Characterization of Binuclear (μ-Oxalato) Copper(II) Complexes with N,N′-Diethylethylenediamine or N,N,N′-Trimethylethylenediamine

Three new binuclear w -oxalato copper(II) complexes of composition [(Cu(N,N' -dieten) H₂O)₂ox](ClO₄)₂ ·H₂O (1) (N,N'-dieten = N,N'-diethylethylenediamine, H₂ox = oxalic acid), [(Cu(trimeen)H₂O)₂ox](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O (2) (trimeen = N,N,N'-trimethylethylenediamine) and [(Cu(trimeen)H₂O)₂ox](NO₃)₂ ·2H₂O (3) have been isolated from the reactions of Cu(ClO₄)₂ ·6H₂O (or Cu(NO₃)₂ ·3H₂O), the appropriate amine and Na₂ox in water and have been characterized by IR and electronic spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The crystal structure of [(Cu(N,N' -dieten)H₂O)₂ ox](ClO₄)₂.H₂O (1) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The structure of ( 1 ) consists of binuclear cations [(N,N'-dieten)H₂O)Cu(ox)Cu(N,N'-dieten)H₂O)]²⁺, perchlorate anions and water molecules of crystallization. The copper atom is coordinated by two oxygen atoms of the oxalato ligand, two nitrogen atoms belonging to N,N'-dieten and one oxygen atom of water in a distorted square-pyramidal arrangement. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities (78-293 K) was measured for 1-3 . Magnetochemical measurements show that copper(II) ions in these compounds are antiferromagnetically coupled with J = -172 cm^-1, -172 cm^-1 and -168 cm^-1 (H = -2JS ₁ S ₂, S ₁= S ₂ = 1/2) for 1, 2 and 3, respectively.     

Extraction of U(VI) and Th(IV) from nitric acid solutions with N,N,N′,N′-tetrahexylsuccinylamide

The results of monitoring of⁸⁵Kr volume activity in ground-level air of Prague over the period 1989–1995 are summariyed. Seasonal dependence with a maximum in late spring and summer months and a gradual increase of⁸⁵Kr concentration in the atmosphere were observed. Linear approximation of long-term trend in the period 1983–1995 gives the growth rate of 35 mBq·m^–3 per year. Exponential approximation provides an inter-year growth by 3.7% The measured values were compared to the prognosis of⁸⁵Kr contamination development of the atmosphere from the early 1980s. They were found to be near to the low estimate of the assumed development.     

Polymeric (NO)3(N2O) n , (NO)3(N2O) n + , and (NO)3(N2O) n − : an interpretation of experimental observations

Semi-empirical and ab initio calculations are reported which provide a possible explanation for reported experimental results on 2-photon ionization of NO containing a few percent of N₂O, which found (NO)₃(N₂O) _n ^+or? clusters to be significantly more abundant than other (NO) _m (N₂O) _n products. It is found that the observed abundances of (NO)₃(N₂O) _n ionic clusters may be accounted for by the existence of covalent cyclic trimers of nitric oxide attached to oligomers of nitrous oxide. The extra stability of NO trimers in the observed clusters appears to arise from (NO) ₃ ⁺ rather than (NO)₃. Attachment of an (N₂O) _n side chain to (NO) ₃ ⁺ occurs exothermically. It is suggested that the addition of N₂O to cyclic-(NO) ₃ ⁺ might provide a means of making a polymer of nitrous oxide, which could have useful properties.
