REVIEW: SOME CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT COORDINATION COMPOUNDS WITH END-ON DINITROGEN

Abstract

There have been several reviews on dinitrogen coordination compounds but no special attention has been paid to correlate the electron configuration of the metal ions with the main features of the ligands in order to establish an electron configuration-stability relationship. In this article we consider nearly 200 complexes with terminal dinitrogen to find common characteristics that lead to the synthesis of other stable dinitrogen compounds. This survey shows that for coordination number 6 there is a strong tendency for a d ⁶ configuration in the metals, with oxidation states between 1- and 2.

On the basis of quantum chemistry, dinitrogen as a ligand can be compared with the isoelectronic species CO, CN^?, NO⁺. The MO and orbital energy diagrams indicate that N₂ is not a good donor neither a good acceptor, but with the appropriate symmetry and in the presence of a good π-donor metal it forms an N₂← M π-bond strengthened by an N₂→ M σ-back-bonding.

Diversity of coordination architecture of silver(Ι) complexes with different 2-aminopyrimidyl derivatives: Effect of counter anions and ligands

Five new silver(Ι) complexes of the formula [Ag(L₁)(CF₃SO₃)(H₂O)]_n (1), [Ag₄(L₁)₄(CF₃CO₂)₄]_n (2), [Ag₂(L₁)₄(ClO₄)₂] (3), [Ag(L₂)(ClO₄)]_n (4), and [Ag(L₃)(ClO₄)]_n (5) have been synthesized by reactions of varied silver(Ι) salts with the corresponding 2-aminopyrimidyl ligands (namely, 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine (L₁), 2-amino-4-methoxy-6-methylprimidine (L₂), and 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxyprimidine (L₃)). The influences of counter anions and ligands on the structure of the complexes are discussed. Two complexes, 1 with one-dimensional (1D) zigzag chain and 2 with 1D ladder network are obtained by using the same ligand L₁ but different silver(Ι) salts. On the other hand, using the same silver(Ι) perchlorate but different ligands under the same synthetic conditions, complexes 3–5 are isolated, respectively. In the case of 3, two metal atoms and four L₁ ligands form dimeric [Ag₂(L₁)₄] unit further connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions to form an infinite 2D layer structure. Complex 4 displays a two-dimensional (2D) grid network. Complex 5 has a 1D zigzag chain but different from that of 1. An extended 3D framework arises from N–H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds and Ag···O weak interaction. The results reveal that the nature of the counter anions and organic ligands all has great impact on the structure of the complexes. In addition, the hydrogen-bonding interactions and π–π stacking also play important roles in the formation of supramolecular architectures, for instance, to link low-dimensional entities to high-dimensional frameworks. The luminescence properties of the synthesized silver complexes were investigated in the solid state at room temperature.     

The influence of CH … π interaction on coupling constants across N … H–F hydrogen bond in a substituted T-shaped configuration: a theoretical study

For studying the influence of CH?…?π interaction on coupling constants across N?…?H–F hydrogen bond in a substituted T-shaped configuration, X-benzene⊥(FH?…?pyrazine?…?HF) complexes are chosen as a working model. NMR calculations are performed at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and PBE0/6-311++G(d,p) levels. Here, correlations between energetic, geometrical and topological parameters and coupling constants are investigated. The results indicate that direct correlations exist between strength of N?…?H hydrogen bond, electron-donating power of substituents and |^2hJ_N?F|. Also, |^2hJ_N?F| increases as cooperative and synergistic energies become more negative. These behaviours are reversed for ^1hJ_N?H. Due to contradictory behaviours of FC and PSO terms, an irregular trend is observed for ¹J_H?F.

Dynamic Bonds Mediate π-π Interaction via Phase Locking Effect for Enhanced Heat Resistant Thermoplastic Polyurethane

Stimulus-responsive polymers containing dynamic bonds enable fascinating properties of self-healing, recycling and reprocessing due to enhanced relaxation of polymer chain/network with labile linkages. Here, we study the structure and properties of a new type of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) with trapped dynamic covalent bonds in the hard-phase domain and report the frustrated relaxation of TPUs containing weak dynamic bond andπ-πinteraction in hard segments. As detected by rheometry, the aromatic TPUs with alkyl disulfide in the hard segments possess the maximum network relaxation time in contrast to those without dynamic bonds and alicyclic TPUs. In situ FTIR and small-angle scattering results reveal that the alkyl disulfide facilitates stronger intermolecular interaction and more stable micro-phase morphology inπ-πinteraction based aromatic TPUs. Molecular dynamics simulation for pure hard segments of model molecules verify that the presence of disulfide bonds leads to strongerπ-πstacking of aromatic rings due to both enhanced assembling thermodynamics and kinetics. The enhancedπ-πpacking and micro-phase structure in TPUs further kinetically immobilize the dynamic bond. This kinetically interlocking between the weak dynamic bonds and strong molecular interaction in hard segments leads to much slower network relaxation of TPU. This work provides a new insight in tuning the network relaxation and heat resistance as well as molecular self-assembly in stimulus-responsive dynamic polymers by both molecular design and micro-phase control toward the functional applications of advanced materials.

The co-crystal structure of 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine with 4-chlorobenzoic acid/4-methoxybenzoic acid molecules are explain the link between the dimension and shape of their hydrogen-bonded assembly. The co-crystal structure of 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine with 4-chlorobenzoic acid/4-methoxybenzoic acid forming a cyclic R₂²(8) ring motif via N–H?O and O–H?N hydrogen bonding interactions, to form a supramolecular heterosynthon. In both the co-crystal structures, self-association of 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine moieties are connected via N-H^….N base pairs with cyclic R₂²(8) motif form a supramolecular homosynthon. In co-crystal II, the centrosymmetrically paired methoxy group of 4-methoxy benzoic acid form a supramolecular homosynthon via weak intermolecular C-H^….O hydrogen bonds, generating R₂²(6) ring motif. Both the co-crystal structures are stabilized by weak aromatic π-π and C—Cl???π stacking interactions. Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots were used to study the intermolecular interactions both of the crystal structures.

Syntheses and structures of two NiIICoIINiII complexes of macrocyclic ligands

Two new linear trinuclear complexes, [Co(NiL¹)₂(SCN)₂] (1) and [Co(NiL²)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂?·?2C₂H₅OH (2), have been prepared by using Co(ClO₄)₂?·?6H₂O and two macrocyclic complex ligands NiL¹ and NiL². L¹ and L² are the doubly deprotonated forms of dimethyl 5,6,7,8,15,16-hexahydro-6,7-dioxodibenzo[1,4,8,11]tetraazabicyclo[12.4.0^15,16]13,18-dicarboxylate and dimethyl 5,6,7,8,15,16-hexahydro-15-methyl-6,7-dioxodibenzo[1,4,8,11]tetraazacyclotetradecine-13,18-dicarboxylate, respectively. X-ray single crystal analyses reveal the coordination geometries around Ni(II) in both 1 and 2 are identical and slightly distorted square planar with N₄ donors; all Ni–N bonds in the two complexes are very short. The Co(II) ions are at the centers of the trinuclear complexes and have distorted octahedral coordination geometries of O₄N₂ donors in 1 and an O₆ in 2. π?···?π interactions involving aromatic and non-aromatic π-systems join the trinuclear entities to form 2-D layers in the crystals of 1 and 2.
