Structural characterization, thermal, dielectric, vibrational properties and molecular motions in

[C₃N₂H₅]₆[Bi₄Br₁₈] has been synthesized and characterized by the X-ray (at 293 and 110 K), calorimetric, dilatometric and dielectric measurements. At room temperature it crystallizes in the monoclinic space group, C2/m. A crystal structure consists of disordered imidazolium cations and ordered discrete tetramers of [Bi₄Br₁₈]^6-. This compound reveals a rich polymorphism in a solid state. It undergoes three solid–solid phase transitions: from phase I to II at 426/423 K (heating–cooling), II→III at 227 K and III→IV at 219.5/219 K. A clear dielectric relaxation process is found in the room temperature phase II. Infrared studies of the polycrystalline [C₃N₂H₅]₆[Bi₄Br₁₈] showed that the ν(N–H), δ(ring) and δ(C–H) modes of the imidazolium cations appeared to be very sensitive to the IV→III phase transition. ¹H NMR measurements confirmed a key role of the imidazolium cations in the phase transitions mechanisms at low temperatures.

Neue Oxonium-Bromochalkogenate(IV) — Darstellung,Struktur und Eigenschaften von [H3O][TeBr5] · 3C4H8O2 und [H3O]2[SeBr6]

New Oxonium Bromochalcogenates(IV) — Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of [H₃O][TeBr₅] · 3 C₄H₈O₂ and [H₃O]₂[SeBr₆] Dark red crystals of the composition [H₃O][TeBr₅] · 3 C₄H₈O₂ ( 1 ) were isolated from a saturated solution of TeBr₄ in 1,4-dioxane containing a small amount of water. In this compound (space group P2₁/m, a = 8.922(4) Å, b = 13.204(7) Å, c = 9.853(5) Å, β = 91.82(4)° at 150 K) a square pyramidal [TeBr₅]^? anion has been isolated for the first time. The coordination sphere of the anion is completed to a distorted octahedron by weak interaction with a dioxane molecule of the cationic system. The [H₃O]⁺ cations are connected to chains by dioxane molecules. At room temperature the compound is stable only in its mother liquor. Crystalline [H₃O]₂[SeBr₆] ( 2 ) (space group Fm3m, a = 10.421(1) Å at 170 K) is a bromoselenous acid of high symmetry. The [H₃O]⁺ ion is only weakly coordinated by Br atoms of the anion. The anions are isolated octahedral [SeBr₆]^2? units. The structure is isotypic to the K₂[PtCl₆] structure. Despite being a halogenochalcogen(IV) acid, 2 exhibits a remarkable thermal stability. Both oxonium compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses. Vibrational spectra of 2 are reported.     

Cyclopalladation of mono-, di- and tribenzylamine by palladium(II) acetate: Influence of bulkiness around the nitrogen atom of benzylamine upon internal metallation

Cyclopalladation of mono-, di- and tribenzylamine has been investigated by reacting the corresponding amines with an equimolar amount of palladium(II) acetate (reaction i), or by heating the corresponding bis-amine complexes [Pd(O₂CMe)₂{(PhCH₂)_nNH_3−n}₂] (n=1, 2) (reaction ii). By the reaction i, all the three amines undergo cyclopalladation. However, in the case of the reaction ii, only the dibenzylamine complex [Pd(O₂CMe)₂{(PhCH₂)₂NH}₂] has been converted into a cyclopalladated complex. The reactivity of the three benzylamines towards cyclopalladation has been discussed in terms of the co-ordinating ability influenced by the bulkiness around the nitrogen atom. Temperature-dependent ¹H-NMR spectra are observed for mononuclear cyclopalladated complexes [Pd(O₂CMe){C₆H₄CH₂N(CH₂Ph)₂–C¹, N}L] (L=PPh₃, AsPh₃) and are attributed to the dissociation of the nitrogen atom in the cyclopalladated chelate ring. A heteroleptic bis-cyclopalladated complex [Pd[C₆H₄CH₂N(CH₂Ph)₂–C¹, N](C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂–C¹, N)] has also been prepared. X-ray crystallographic studies on [{Pd(O₂CMe)[C₆H₄CH₂N(CH₂Ph)₂–C¹, N]}₂] and [Pd[C₆H₄CH₂N(CH₂Ph)₂–C¹, N](C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂–C¹, N)] have been reported.     

Synthesis,spectral, electrochemical and magnetic properties of new asymmetric dicopper(II) complexes bearing chemically distinct coordination sites

Two new unsymmetrical binucleating ligands, 2-[bis(3-N, N-dimethylaminopropyl)-aminomethyl]-6-[prolin-1-yl)methyl]-4-bromophenol [H ₂L¹] and 2-[bis(3-N, N -dimethylaminopropyl)aminomethyl]-6-[prolin-1-yl)methyl]-4-methylphenol [H₂L²], and their dicopper(II) complexes with different exogenous bridging motifs (OAc, Br and Cl) have been prepared and characterized by spectral, electrochemical, magnetic and e.p.r. studies. Electrochemical studies indicate the presence of two irreversible reduction peaks in the cathodic region. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility studies of the complexes show that the extent of antiferromagnetic coupling increases in the order: OAc^–< Cl^–< Br^–. Broad isotropic or axial symmetric spectral features are observed in powder e.p.r. spectra of the complexes at 77K. A comparison of the electrochemical and magnetic behaviour of the complexes derived from the ligands is discussed on the basis of an exogenous bridge as well as the substituent at the para position of the phenolic ring.     

Syntheses, structures, spectroscopic, electrochemical properties and DFT calculation of Ru(II)–thioarylazoimidazole complexes

The reaction of 1-alkyl-2-{(o-thioalkyl)phenylazo}imidazoles (SRaaiNR) (2a/2b) with Ru(II) has synthesized [Ru(SRaaiNR)₂](ClO₄)₂ (3a/3b) in 2-methoxyethanol. The reaction in methanol, however, has synthesized [Ru(SRaaiNR)(SRaaiNR)Cl](ClO₄) (4a/4b). The solid phase reaction of SRaaiNR and RuCl₃ on silica gel surface upon microwave irradiation has synthesized [Ru(SRaaiNR)(SaaiNR)](PF₆) (5a/5b) [SRaaiNR represents tridentate N,N′,S-chelator; SRaaiNR is N,N′-bidentate chelator where S does not coordinate and SaaiNR refers N,N′,S-chelator where S refers to thiolato binding]. The structural characterization of [Ru(SEtaaiNEt)(SEtaaiNEt)Cl](ClO₄) (4b) and [Ru(SEtaaiNEt)(SaaiNEt)](PF₆) (5b) has been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The IR, UV–Vis, and ¹H NMR spectral data also support the stereochemistry of the complexes. The complexes show metal oxidation, Ru(III)/Ru(II), and ligand reductions (azo/azo⁻, azo⁻/azo). The molecular orbital diagram has been drawn by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Normal mode of analysis has been performed to correlate calculated and experimental frequencies of representative complexes. The electronic movement and assignment of electronic spectra have been carried out by TDDFT calculation both in gas and acetonitrile phase.     

Iminophosphines: synthesis, formation of 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[1,3]azaphosphol-3-ium salts and N-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-diphenylphosphinoylaniline, coordination chemistry and applications in platinum group catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions and hydrosilylations

The aprotic and protic bi- and multidentate iminophosphines 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=CR¹R² (R¹=H, R²=Ph=2a; R¹=Me R²=Ph=2b; R¹=H, R²=2-thienyl=2c; R¹=H, R²=C₆H₄-2-PPh₂=2d; R¹=H, R²=C₆H₄-2-OH=2e, R¹=H, R²=C₆H₄-2-OH-3-Bu^t=2f; R¹=H, R²=CH₂C(O)Me=2g) have been prepared by the acid catalyzed condensation of 2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline with the corresponding aldehyde–ketone. Iminophosphine 2d can be reduced with sodium cyanoborohydride to give the corresponding amino-diphosphine 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N(H)CH₂C₆H₄-2-PPh₂ (2h). In the presence of a stoichiometric quantity of acid, 2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline reacts in an unexpected manner with benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, or acetophenone to give the corresponding 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[1,3]azaphosphol-3-ium salts and with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde to give N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-2-diphenylphosphinoylaniline, the latter of which has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, as its palladium dichloride derivative. The attempted condensation of 2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde to give the corresponding pyridine-functionalized iminophosphine resulted in an unusual transformation involving the diastereoselective addition of two equivalents of aldehyde to give 1,2-dipyridin-2-yl-2-(o-diphenylphosphinoyl)phenylamino-ethanol, which has been characterized by a single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The bidentate iminophosphine 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(H)Ph reacts with [(cycloocta-1,5-diene)PdClX] X=Cl, Me) to give [Pd{2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(H)Ph}ClX] and the imino-diphosphine 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(H)C₆H₄-PPh₂ reacts with [(cycloocta-1,5-diene)PdClMe] to give [Pd{2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(H)C₆H₄---PPh₂}ClMe] and each has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The monobasic iminophosphine 2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(Me)CH₂C(O)Me reacts with [Ni(PPh₃)₂Cl₂] in the presence of NaH to give the phosphino–ketoiminate complex [Ni{2-Ph₂PC₆H₄N=C(Me)CHC(O)Me}Cl], which has been structurally characterized. Mixtures of iminophosphines 2a–h and a palladium source catalyze the Suzuki cross coupling of 4-bromoacetophenone with phenyl boronic acid. The efficiency of these catalysts show a marked dependence on the palladium source, catalysts formed from [Pd₂(OAc)₆] giving consistently higher conversions than those formed from [Pd₂(dba)₃] and [PdCl₂(MeCN)₂]. Catalysts formed from neutral bi- and terdentate iminophosphines 2a–d gave significantly higher conversions than those formed from their monobasic counterparts 2e–f. Notably, under our conditions the conversions obtained with 2a–c compare favorably with those of the standards; catalysts formed from tris(2-tolyl)phosphine and tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite and a source of palladium. In addition, mixtures of [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ and 2a–h are active for the hydrosilylation of acetophenone; in this case catalysts formed from monobasic iminophosphines 2e–f giving the highest conversions.

A novel 18-metallacrown-6 complex: Synthesis, structural characterization and magnetic properties

The novel 18-metallacrown-6 complex, with the formula of [Mn₆(C₁₁H₁₁N₂O₃)₆(CH₃CH₂OH)₆]·3C₃H₇NO·2CH₃CH₂OH (1) (pmshz = N-propanoyl-3-methyl-salicylhydrazide), has been prepared and characterized. The self-assembled, manganese complex assumes a nearly planar cyclic structure with an [Mn–N–N]₆ backbone. Due to the coordination, the ligand enforces the stereochemistry of the Mn³⁺ ions as a propeller shape with alternating …ΔΛΔΛ… configurations. The magnetic properties of the metallacrown molecule are characterized by a weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between the Mn³⁺ ion spins with S = 2 in the cyclic system.     

Kinetics and mechanism of pentacyanohydroxoferrate(III) formation from [FeL(OH)2]− complex, (L=N-(2-hydroxyethyl) iminodiacetate anion

Summary The kinetics and mechanism of the system [FeHIDA-(OH)₂]^–+5CN^–[Fe(CN)₅OH^–+HIDA^2–+OH^– (HIDA=N-(2-hydroxyethyl) (iminodiacetate) at pH=9.5±0.02, I=0.1 M and at 25±0.1°C have been studied spectrophotometrically at 395 nm ( _max of [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3–]. The reaction has three distinguishable stages; the first is formation of [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3–, the second is conversion of [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– into [Fe(CN)₆]^3–, and last is the reduction of [Fe(CN)₆]^3– to [Fe(CN)₆]^4– by the HIDA^2– released in the first stage. The first stage shows variable-order dependence on cyanide concentration, unity at high cyanide concentration and zero at low cyanide concentration. The second stage exhibits first-order dependence on the concentration of [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– as well as on cyanide. The reverse reaction between [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– and HIDA^2– is first-order in each of these species and inverse first-order in cyanide. On the basis of forward and reverse rate studies, a five-step mechanism has been proposed for the first stage. The first step involves a slow loss of one OH^–, by a cyanide-independent path.     

Synthesis, structure and DNA binding studies of mononuclear copper(II) complexes with mixed donor macroacyclic ligands, 2,6-bis({N-[2&3-(phenylselenato)alkyl]}benzimidoyl)-4-methylphenol

Two new phenol based macroacyclic Schiff base ligands, 2,6-bis({N-[2-(phenylselenato)ethyl]}benzimidoyl)-4-methylphenol (bpebmpH, 1) and 2,6-bis({N-[3-(phenylselenato)propyl]}benzimidoyl)-4-methylphenol (bppbmpH, 2) of the Se₂N₂O type have been prepared by the condensation of 4-methyl-2,6-dibenzoylphenol (mdbpH) with the appropriate (for specific reactions) phenylselenato(alkyl)amine. These ligands with Cu(II) acetate monohydrate in a 2:1 molar ratio in methanol form complexes of the composition [(C₆H₂(O)(CH₃){(C₆H₅)CN(CH₂)_nSe(C₆H₅)}{(C₆H₅)CO}₂Cu] (3 (n = 2), 4 (n = 3)) with the loss of phenylselenato(alkyl)amine and acetic acid. In both these complexes, one arm of the ligand molecule undergoes hydrolysis, and links with Cu(II) in a bidentate (NO) fashion, as confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography of complex 3. The selenium atoms do not form part of the copper(II) distorted square planar coordination sphere which has a trans-CuN₂O₂ core. The average Cu–N and Cu–O distances are, respectively, 1.973(3) and 1.898(2) Å. The N–Cu–N and O–Cu–O angles are, respectively, 167.4(11)° and 164.5(12)°. The compounds 1–4 have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, mass spectrometry, IR, electronic, ¹H and ⁷⁷Se{¹H} NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The interaction of complex 3 with calf thymus DNA has been investigated by a spectrophotometric method and cyclic voltammetry.

A cyanide-bridged Fe^III–Fe^II mixed-valence assembly, [Fe^III(salen)]₂[Fe^II(CN)₅NO] [salen = N,N-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion], prepared by slow diffusion of an aqueous solution of Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO] · 2H₂O and a MeOH solution of [Fe(salen)NO₃] in an H tube, has been characterized by X-ray structure analysis, i.r. spectra and magnetic measurements. The product assumes a two-dimensional network structure consisting of pillow-like octanuclear [—Fe^II—CN—Fe^III—NC—]₄ units with dimensions: Fe^II—C = 1.942(7) Å, C—N = 1.139(9) Å, Fe^III—N = 2.173(6) Å, Fe^II—C—N = 178.0(6)°, Fe^III—N—C = 163.4(6)°. The Fe^II—N—O bond angle is linear (180.0°). The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility, measured in the 4.8–300 K range, indicates the presence of a weak intralayer antiferromagnetic interaction and gives an Fe^III–Fe^III exchange integral of –0.033 cm^–1.

Negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry of some isocyanates

Summary Negative ion mass spectra for 3 aliphatic and 4 aromatic isocyanates have been obtained by low pressure chemical ionization, using CH₄, CO₂ and N₂O as reagent gases. All compounds furnished intense anions at m/z 42. With CH₄, quasi-molecular anions were observed at m/z M+1 for aliphatic and m/z M+1 and M–1 for aromatic isocyanates. With N₂O, anionic substitution products at m/z M+15 and M+30 were observed, and with CO₂ and N₂O, peaks at m/z M–12 could be detected for all aromatic isocyanates. Studies with ¹³CO₂ and C¹⁸O₂ as reagent gases showed that the anions at m/z M–12 and M+15 correspond to [M–CO+O]^– and [M–H+O]^–, respectively.

Summary A series of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 2-picolinamineN-oxide, HA, has been prepared. Solids of formula [M(HA)₃](BF₄)₂ (M=cobalt(II) or nickel(II); [Cu(HA)₂]X₂ (X=BF ₄ ^– , NO ₃ ^– ); [Co(HA)₂X₂] (X=Cl^– or Br^–); [Ni(HA)₂Cl₂] and [Cu(HA)X₂] (X=Cl^– or Br^–] have been isolated and characterized by partial elemental analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic susceptibilities, DSC-TGA, and spectral methods. All complexes were found to be monomeric, and their spectral parameters are compared with those of the metal ion complexes ofN-alkyl-2-picolinamineN-oxides, 2-dialkylaminopyridineN-oxides and 2-picolinamine. The cobalt(II) and nickel(II) halide complexes spectrally show a mixture of octahedral and tetrahedral centres.
