Crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new heterometallic complex of Pd(II)-Cu(II) with 1-aminoethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid

A heterometallic complex of Pd(II)-Cu(II) with 1-aminoethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic (AEDP) acid (C₄H₂₂CuN₂O₁₆P₄Pd) _n (I) is synthesized. Single crystals of compound I are obtained; its crystal structure is determined by X-ray crystallography. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbcn, a = 18.366(3) Å, b = 9.7661(17) Å, c = 20.198(4) Å, V = 3622.8(11) ų, Z = 8, d _x = 2.376 g/cm³. The compound crystallizes as a coordination polymer; the square environment of Pd(II) is formed by nitrogen atoms of amino groups and oxygen atoms of phosphonic groups, while at two non-equivalent copper atoms the octahedral environment is formed by oxygen atoms of phosphonic groups and water molecules. The crystal structure of compound I is characterized by the formation of a branched network of hydrogen bonds. Based on the analysis of the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility it is found that for the heterometallic complex of Pd(II)-Cu(II) with AEDP antiferromagnetic interactions between the paramagnetic centers are dominant.     

XPS study of the electronic structure of heterometallic complexes Fe2MO(Piv)6(HPiv)3 (M = Ni, Co)

Heterometallic complexes Fe₂MO(Piv)₆(HPiv)₃ (M = Ni, Co) have been studied by XPS. The complexes are identified as high-spin complexes with metal atoms in oxidation states M(II) and M(III). A change in the ligand environment of metal atoms has an effect on both the energetic state of metal atoms and the XPS pattern. The substitution of a Co atom for the nickel atom in the heterometallic complexes changes the XPS pattern of iron and their magnetic state. For the Fe₂MO(Piv)₆(HPiv)₃ complexes, quantum-chemical calculations have been performed at the density functional theory (DFT) level. In combination with XPS and magnetochemistry data, the quantum-chemical calculation demonstrates that the Fe, Ni, and Co atoms in the trinuclear complexes are in the high-spin local state and that the ground state is dominated by antiferromagnetic exchange interaction.     

Generation of a Hetero Spin Complex from Iron(II) Iodide with Redox Active Acenaphthene-1,2-Diimine

The reaction of the redox active 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene (dpp-BIAN) and iron(II) iodide in acetonitrile led to a new complex [(dpp-BIAN)Fe^III₂] (1). Molecular structure of 1 was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The spin state of the iron cation in complex 1 at room temperature and the magnetic behavior of 1 in the temperature range of 2–300 K were studied using Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements, respectively. The neutral character of dpp-BIAN in 1 was confirmed by IR and UV spectroscopy. The electrochemistry of 1 was studied in solution and solid state using cyclic voltammetry. The generation of the radical anion form of the dpp-BIAN ligand upon reduction of 1 in a CH₂Cl₂ solution was monitored by EPR spectroscopy.

Coordination compounds of neodymium(III) with acylhydrazones of saturated dicarboxylic acids and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-formylpyrazol-5-one are synthesized and studied. The structure of complex [Nd₂(H₂L²)₃] · Me₂SO · CH₃OH · 6H₂O is determined from the X-ray diffraction data for the isostructural lanthanum complex.

The structure of the trinuclear {Ln₂Cd} metal core is stable and independent of the type of peripheral ligands coordinated to cadmium atoms. Photoluminescent properties of compounds 3 and 4 were studied.

Manifestation of the nuclear viscosity effects in induced fission reactions at excitation energies below 30 MeV

A large set of experimental observables for the ²³²Th(α, xnf)reaction was analyzed theoretically within the dynamic-statistical approach, making it possible to interconsistently consider the manifestation of nuclear viscosity, the double-humped structure of the fission barrier, and the phenomenon of shell effect damping with temperature. Analyses were performed for the energy dependence of the finite lifetime effect in the investigated reaction, obtained using the crystal blocking technique; the fission probability isotopes produced in this reaction during the development of a neutron emission cascade; and the anisotropy of angular distributions of fission fragments. It is shown that this analysis allows us to obtain information regarding nuclear viscosity and its energy dependence at relatively low excitation energies (<30 MeV).

The coordination spheres of the metal atoms in these complexes involve simultaneously the ⁵-cyclopentadienyl (indenyl), bridging alkoxide, and terminal amide ligands. The complexes were characterized by microanalysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and magnetochemistry. The crystal and molecular structure of complex 3 was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
