Layered hybrid organic-inorganic Co(II) alkylphosphonates. Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetism of the first two members of the series: Co[(CH3PO3)(H2O)] and Co[(C2H5PO3)(H2O)]

Co[(CH₃PO₃)(H₂O)] (1) and Co[(C₂H₅PO₃)(H₂O)] (2) were prepared by the hydrothermal method and isolated as blue-violet platelet crystals. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, TGA-DSC techniques and their magnetic properties studied by a dc-SQUID magnetometer. Compound (1) shows an hybrid layered structure, made of alternating inorganic and organic layers along the a-direction of the unit cell. The inorganic layers contain Co(II) ions six-coordinated by five phosphonate oxygen atoms and one from the water molecule. These layers are separated by bi-layers of methyl groups and van der Waals contacts are established between them. In compound (2), the layered hybrid structure is rather similar to that described for compound (1), but the alternation of the inorganic and organic layers is along the b-direction of the unit cell. The magnetic behavior of (1) and (2) as function of temperature and magnetic field was studied. The compounds obey the Curie-Weiss law at temperatures above 100 K, the Curie C, and Weiss θ constants for the methyl derivative being and and for the ethyl derivative and , respectively. The observed magnetic moments for Co atom at room temperature (i.e. μ_eff=5.18 and 5.38 BM, respectively) are higher than those expected for a spin-only value for high spin Co(II) (S=3/2), revealing a substantial orbital contribution to the magnetic moment. The negative values of θ are an indication of the presence of antiferromagnetic exchange couplings between the near-neighbors Co(II) ions, within the layers. [Co(C_nH_2n+1PO₃)(H₂O)] (n=1,2) are 2D Ising antiferromagnets at low temperatures.     

Extraction of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) by a solvent impregnated resin containing bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)monothiophosphinic acid

In the present work, studies have been conducted on the equilibrium distribution of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) between aqueous hydrochloric solution and macromolecular resin impregnated with bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)monothiophosphinic acid (Cyanex302, HL). Effects of extraction time, pH values, metal ion concentration, and temperature were investigated. Analysis of the results shows that the extraction of the two metal ions can be explained assuming the formation of metal complexes in the resin phase with a general composition ML ₂. An extraction reaction is proposed and the equilibrium constants of the complexes were determined. The Freundlich isotherm and thermodynamic quantities, i.e., ΔG, ΔH and ΔS were also obtained. Both of the extraction reactions of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) are endothermic ones. The efficiency of the resin in the separation of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) is provided according to the separation factors. Under the experimental conditions employed, pH₅₀ values for cobalt (II) and nickel (II) are 3.76, 5.01, respectively. The logarithmic value of separation factor was calculated as 2.50.     

Six‐coordinate Co2+ with imidazole,NH3, and H2O ligands: Approaching spin crossover

Octahedral, six‐coordinate Co²⁺ can exist in two spin states: S = 3/2 and S = 1/2. The difference in energy between high spin (S = 3/2) and low spin (S = 1/2) is dependent on both the ligand mix and coordination stereochemistry. B3LYP calculations on combinations of neutral imidazole, NH₃, and H₂O ligands show that low‐spin isomers are stabilized by axial H₂O ligands and in structures that also include trans pairs of equatorial NH₃ and protonated imidazole ligands, spin crossover structures are predicted from spin state energy differences. Occupied Co d orbitals from the DFT calculations provide a means of estimating effective ligand strength for homoleptic and mixed ligand combinations. These calculations suggest that in a labile biological system, a spin crossover environment can be created. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and antimicrobial activity of a series of cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes

Abstract

A series of six new mononuclear Schiff base complexes, 1–6 of cobalt(III) of the general formula, [CoLX] or its adduct with methanol, is reported. The pentadentate Schiff base ligand (H₂L) was obtained by the condensation of N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-methylpropane-1,3-diamine with 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (H₂L¹) or 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one (H₂L²). X stands for the pseudohalides, N₃^–, N(CN)₂^? , and NCS^–. The complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of equimolar amounts of cobalt(II) nitrate with H₂L¹ or H₂L² in the presence of the respective pseudohalide in methanol medium. All the complexes have been characterized by microanalytical, spectroscopic, single crystal XRD (except 3), and other physicochemical studies. Structural studies reveal that the central Co(III) ion in 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 adopts a distorted octahedral geometry with a CoN₄O₂ chromophore. Weak intermolecular H-bonding and/or π-interactions are operative in these complexes to bind the molecular units. The antimicrobial activity of all the complexes and their constituent Schiff bases has been tested against some common bacteria and fungi.

Cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes of (2-thiophene)-(5,6-diphenyl-[1,2,4]-triazin-3-yl)hydrazone

New complexes having the formulae [L₂CoX₂] and [LCuCl₂], [LCuCl] and [LCu](ClO₄)₂ where L?=?(2-thiophene)-(5,6-diphenyl-[1,2,4]-triazin-3-yl)hydrazone TDPTH; X?=?Cl, OAc or ClO₄ have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, conductance, magnetic moments and infrared, electronic and ESR spectral data. The IR spectra indicate that TDPTH is a neutral bidentate ligand, coordinating via a triazine-N and azomethine-N in [L₂CoX₂] and [LCuCl₂] with the thiophene-S not coordinated but is tridentate in [LCuCl] and [LCu](ClO₄)₂ through the same two nitrogen atoms and thiophene-S. The magnetic moment and electronic spectral data suggest a distorted octahedral structure for Co(II) complexes, a dimeric square pyramidal geometry for [LCuCl₂] through chloride bridges and a dimeric diamagnetic, four-coordinate copper in [LCu](ClO₄)₂ through thiophene-S bridges. The X-band ESR spectra of Co(II) complexes, in the solid state, are rhombic with three g values consistent with a high-spin distorted octahedral structure. The X-band ESR spectrum of the powdered sample of both [LCuCl₂]·2H₂O and [LCu](ClO₄)₂ at room temperature and at 77?K showed only one broad signal due to?ΔM _s?=?±?1 transition and a weak signal due to the forbidden?ΔM _s?=?±?2 transition, indicating an antiferromagnetic interaction between copper(II) centers whereas [LCuCl] is ESR silent, indicating a monovalent copper ion in this complex.     

Spectral studies, cyclic voltammetry and synthesis of cobalt(II) and ruthenium(III) complexes with symmetric and asymmetric ring containing membered N2S2, N4, and N5 donor macrocyclic ligands

Reaction of divalent cobalt(II) and trivalent ruthenium(III) salts (NO3, SCN and SO4) with macrocyclic ligands L1, L2 and L3 having N2S2, N4 and N5 core, have been designed and carry out. All these three macrocyclic ligands and their complexes were obtained in pure form. Their structures were investigated by using microanalytical analyses, IR, mass, magnetic moments, electronic and EPR spectral studies. The redox properties of the complexes were also examined by cyclic voltammetry. An interesting feature of complexes is that the relatively large rings of macrocyclic ligands prevent the macrocyclic rings from approaching the metal center as closely as they would, if they were not constrained. So the Ru-N distances are longer than expected due to ring size. Electrochemical studies show that the macrocyclic ligand L1 is more effective electron donors to ruthenium than of L2 and L3. Electronic spectral properties also show that the sulphur donor atom of L1 weakens the ligand field with respect to ligand-to-metal charge-transfer band. However it is expected that second-row transition metal-ligand bonds tend to be weaker than third-row transition metal-ligand bonds. There are well-established examples of reactions in which decreased of reactivity down a triad of transition metals is not observed. These novelties are usually attributed to pi-bonding effects for ligands such as carbon monoxide, solvent effects, or a change in mechanism.

Synthesis reactivity and electrochemical properties of substituted cyclopentadienyl cobalt (III) complexes

Cyclopentadienyl cobalt complexes (η⁵‐C₅H₄R) CoLI₂ [L = CO,R=‐COOCH₂CH=CH₂ (3); L=PPh₃, R=‐COOCH₂‐CH=CH₂ (6); L=P(p‐C₆H₄O₃)₃, R = ‐COOC(CH₃) = CH₂ (7), ‐COOCH₂C₆H₅ (8), ‐COOCH₂CH = CH₂ (9)] were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, ¹H NMR, ER and UV‐vis spectra. The reaction of complexes (η⁵‐C₅H₄R)CoLI₂ [L= CO, R= ‐COOC(CH₃) = CH₂ (1), ‐COOCH₂C₆H₅(2); L=PPh₃, R=‐COOC (CH₃) = CH₂ (4), ‐COOCH₂C₆H₅ (5)] with Na‐Hg resulted in the formation of their corresponding substituted cobaltocene (η⁵‐C₅H₄R)₂ Co[R=‐COOC(CH₃) = CH₂ (10), ‐COOCH₂C₆H₅ (11)]. The electrochemical properties of these complexes 1–11 were studied by cyclic voltammetry. It was found that as the ligand (L) of the cobalt (III) complexes changing from CO to PPh₃ and P(p‐tolyl)₃, their oxidation potentials increased gradually. The cyclic voltammetry of α,α′‐substituted cobaltocene showed reversible oxidation of one electron process.
