Synthesis of Molecular Wires of Linear and Branched Bis(terpyridine)‐Complex Oligomers and Electrochemical Observation of Through‐Bond Redox Conduction

Films of linear and branched oligomer wires of Fe(tpy)₂ (tpy=2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine) were constructed on a gold‐electrode surface by the interfacial stepwise coordination method, in which a surface‐anchoring ligand, (tpy? C₆H₄N?NC₆H₄? S)₂ ( 1 ), two bridging ligands, 1,4‐(tpy)₂C₆H₄ ( 3 ) and 1,3,5‐(C?C? tpy)₃C₆H₃ ( 4 ), and metal ions were used. The quantitative complexation of the ligands and Fe^II ions was monitored by electrochemical measurements in up to eight complexation cycles for linear oligomers of 3 and in up to four cycles for branched oligomers of 4 . STM observation of branched oligomers at low surface coverage showed an even distribution of nanodots of uniform size and shape, which suggests the quantitative formation of dendritic structures. The electron‐transport mechanism and kinetics for the redox reaction of the films of linear and branched oligomer wires were analyzed by potential‐step chronoamperometry (PSCA). The unique current‐versus‐time behavior observed under all conditions indicates that electron conduction occurs not by diffusional motion but by successive electron hopping between neighboring redox sites within a molecular wire. Redox conduction in a single molecular wire in a redox‐polymer film has not been reported previously. The analysis provided the rate constant for electron transfer between the electrode and the nearest redox‐complex moiety, k₁ (s^?1), as well as that for intrawire electron transfer between neighboring redox‐complex moieties, k₂ (cm² mol^?1 s^?1). The strong effect of the electrolyte concentration on both k₁ and k₂ indicates that the counterion motion limits the electron‐hopping rate at lower electrolyte concentrations. Analysis of the dependence of k₁ and k₂ on the potential gave intrinsic kinetic parameters without overpotential effects: k₁⁰=110 s^?1, k₂⁰=2.6×10¹² cm² mol^?1 s^?1 for [n Fe 3 ], and k₁⁰=100 s^?1, k₂⁰=4.1×10¹¹ cm² mol^?1 s^?1 for [n Fe 4 ] (n=number of complexation cycles).     

Synthesis and crystal structures of heterobimetallic Fe-Cd,Fe-Zn,and Fe-In complexes containing hemilabile phosphorus/oxygen and silicon/oxygen bridging ligands

The reactions of K[Fe{Si(OMe)₃}(CO)₃(PY)][PY=Ph₂PCH₂C(O)Ph, Ph₂PCH₂C(O)[(-C₅H₄)FeCp] (Cp=⁵-C₅H₅), Ph₂P(CH₂)₂CN] with CdCl₂·2.5H₂O, ZnX ₂ (X=Cl, I) or InCl₃ afforded Fe-Cd-Fe or Fe-M(-X)₂ M-Fe (M=Cd, Zn, In;X=Cl, I) and Fe-InCl₂ complexes. Some of them contain an unusual and labile -²-SiO alkoxysilyl bridge which may be associated with a bridging mode for the ketophosphine ligand (first such example structurally established), thus providing original results in bimetallic chemistry on the intramolecular coordination of oxygendonor functions ofchemically different hemilabile ligands firmly attached to a neighboring metal center. The structures of the trinuclear complex (3), of the chlorobenzene solvate of the tetranuclear complex (4a·C₆H₅Cl) and of [mer-(OC)₃{(EtO)₃Si} (4e) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Crystals of 3 are orthorhombic, space groupPbcn, witha=19.010(4),b=11.766(5),c=26.998(7)Å, andZ=4. Crystals of4a·C₆H₅Cl are monoclinic, space groupC2/c witha=22.455(3),b=17.680(2),c=16.627(4)Å, =90.80(4)°, andZ=4. Crystals of4e are monoclinic, space groupC2/c witha=25.392(5),b=18.554(6),c=16.28(1)Å, =120.73(3)°, andZ=4. The structures were solved using direct methods and Fourier difference techniques and refined by blocked full-matrix least squares toR=0.035 (R _w =0.049) for 2719 observed reflections, toR=0.042 (R _w =0.056) for 3082 observed reflections, and toR=0.057 (R _w =0.075) for 1850 observed reflections for3, 4a·C₆H₅Cl and4e, respectively. The Fe-Zn complexes (9a), (9b) and (9c) were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods.Part 21 in the Series: Complexes with Functional Phosphines. Part 20: P. Braunstein, S. Coco Cea, A.

Zweikernige silylenverbrückte Cyclopentadienylrhodiumbis(ethen)-Komplexe,photochemische Reaktion mit Benzolderivaten und selektiver Einschluß von Methylcyclopentan in das Kristallgitter von [Me2Si{3-But-C5H3Rh(C2H4)2}2]

Dinuclear Silylene Bridged Cyclopentadienylrhodiumbis(ethene) Complexes, Photochemical Reaction with Benzene Derivatives, and Selective Inclusion of Methylcyclopentane into the Crystal Lattice of [Me₂Si{3-Bu^t-C₅H₃Rh(C₂H₄)₂}₂] By reaction of [{(C₂H₄)₂RhCl}₂] with Na₂[Me₂Si(C₅H₄)₂] or with Li₂[Me₂Si(3-Bu^t-C₅H₃)₂] in THF the dinuclear silylene bridged complexes [Me₂Si{C₅H₄Rh(C₂H₄)₂}₂] 1 and [Me₂Si{3-Bu^t-C₅H₃Rh(C₂H₄)₂}₂] 2 , respectively, were synthesized. Due to the asymmetric substitution of the five-membered rings and their hindered rotation around the Si? C axes, 2 is formed as three isomers. The X-ray structure analysis of 2 obtained from hexane reveals the selective inclusion of methylcyclopentane, the content of which in the solvent is about 17%, into the crystal lattice. UV irradiation of 1 in hexane in the presence of benzene causes elimination of the ethene ligands yielding the μ-η³:η³ benzene complex [Me₂Si(C₅H₄Rh₂)₂C₆H₆] which cannot be separated from unreacted 1 . However, separation is possible in case of the hexamethylbenzene compound 4 analogous with 3 .     

Preparation of bisdiazoalkane and related complexes from the reactions of diazo compounds with the dinitrogen complexestrans-[M(N2)2(Ph 2PCH2CH2PPh 2)2] (M=Mo or W)

Summary Reactions oftrans-[M(N₂)₂(dppe)₂] (A;M=Mo, W;dppe=Ph ₂PCH₂CH₂PPh ₂) with ethyldiazoacetate, N₂CHCOOEt, yield the bisdiazoalkane speciestrans-[M(N₂CHCOOEt)₂(dppe)₂], upon simple replacement of the dinitrogen ligand by ethyldiazoacetate. However, diazomethane, N₂CH₂, reacts withA with loss of N₂ to give products which we tentatively formulate as containing methylene ligands,trans-[M(CH₂)₂(dppe)₂].

Magnetic interactions in a series of paramagnetic Ln(III) complexes with a chelated imino nitroxide radical

The magnetic interactions in a new series of isostructural imino nitroxide radical lanthanide(III) complexes, [Ln(hfac)₃(IM2py)] (Ln = Gd–Yb: IM2py = 2-(2′-pyridyl)-4,5-dihydro-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1H-imidazoline-1-oxy; hfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione), are examined by considering the intrinsic paramagnetic contribution of the Ln(III) ion from the corresponding [Ln(hfac)₃(pybzim)] with a diamagnetic pybzim(2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole) ligand; the Ln(III)–IM2py interaction being antiferromagnetic for the 4f⁷ to 4f¹³ Ln(III) complexes and negligibly small for the other complexes. This series is the first example reverse to the previous cases for the series of Ln–Cu or Ln–aminoxyl(NIT) radical (4,5-dihydro-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1H-imidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxy) complexes, other than only a few examples of semiquinone Ln complexes. This reverse nature of the magnetic interaction, as compared with the NIT complexes, validates the empirical approach by O. Kahn et al. [Inorg. Chem. 38 (1999) 3692; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122 (2000) 3413] in the spin-coupled systems for a series of Ln(III) complexes.     

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of Hetero‐Bischelated Complexes of Rhodium(III) Containing Phenyl‐Pyridin‐2‐Ylmethylene‐Amine

Three new hetero‐bischelated rhodium (III) complexes of cis‐[Rh(PA)(L)Cl₂]Cl (where PA = phenylpyridin‐2‐ylmethylene‐amine; L = 2,2′‐bipyridine, 2,2′‐dipyridylamine and 1,10‐phenanthroline) have been successfully prepared and characterized. Each complex shows high intensity bands in the UV region, and these are assigned to spin‐allowed π‐π* transitions. The medium‐intensity absorption band profile in the lower energy region can be explained by convolution of spin‐allowed CT and d‐d* transitions. The emission spectra at low temperature (77 K) of these complexes in EtOH/MeOH (4:1 v/v) are virtually identical. They all exhibit a broad, symmetric, and structureless red emission with a microsecond lifetime and hence are assigned as the d‐d* phosphorescence.     

Alternativ-Liganden. XXIII. Rhodium(I)-Komplexe mit Donor/Akzeptor-Liganden des Typs (Me2PCH2CH2SiX2 und (2-Me2PC6H4)SiXMe2 (X = F,Cl)

Alternative Ligands. XXIII Rhodium(I) Complexes with Donor/Acceptor Ligands of the Type (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ and (2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SiXMe₂ (X = F, Cl) Donor/acceptor ligands of the type (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ and (2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SiXMe₂ (X = F, Cl) react with [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ (₁) to give the mononuclear complexes RhCl(CO)(Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ [X = F( 4 ), Cl ( 5 )] and RhCl(CO)[2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SixMe₂]₂ [X = F ( 8 ), Cl ( 9 )], respectively. In case of the ligands (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiCl₂ ( 3 ) and (2-Me₂PC₆H₆)SiClMe₂ ( 7 ) the Rh(I) complexes formed in the first step partly undergo oxidative addition reactions of SiCl bonds yielding rhodium(III) compounds of low solubility. Only for 8 the coordination shifts Δδ = δ(complex)?δ(ligand) and coupling constants give some indication to possible Rh→Si interactions. However, the molecular structure of 8 determined by X-ray diffraction does not show RhSi or RhF bonding contacts. The new compounds were characterized by analytical (C, H) and spectroscopic investigations (MS, IR,-NMR).     

Phosphorescence lifetime of naphthalene and phenanthrene in aggregated aromatic molecule-β-cyclodextrin-precipitant complexes

Aggregated aromatic molecule--cyclodextrin-precipitant complexes exhibit long-lived phosphorescence at room temperature in water after the chemical binding of oxygen. The temperature dependences of the phosphorescence lifetimes of naphthalene-h₈, naphthalene-de, and phenanthrene in the aggregates were measured. For example, the phosphorescence lifetimes of naphthalene-d₈ aggregated with -cyclodextrin and cyclohexane are equal to 25.1, 17.6, and 6.8 s at 77, 276, and 347 K, respectively, and that of phenanthrene aggregated with isooctane and -cyclodextrin are 3.24, 3.06, and 1.26 s at 268, 274, and 335 K, respectively. The temperature dependences of the phosphorescence lifetimes at room temperature are determined by the rate constants of the radiative and nonradiative transitions from the triplet state of an aromatic molecule.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
