Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Mononuclear Nickel(Ⅱ) Mixed Complex Derived from 2-Aminoethyl-bi(3-bi-aminopropyl)amine with 1,10-Phenanthroline

The mixed complex [Ni(L)(L')](ClO4)2 has been synthesized using 2-aminoethyl- bi(3-bi-aminopropyl)amine with phen (1,10-phenanthroline) in the presence of Ni(II) ion, and its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 13.713(2), b = 13.1466(19), c = 14.780(2) (A), β = 97.620(3)°, V = 2640.9(7)(A)3, F(000) = 1272, Z = 4, Dc = 1.540 g/cm3, R = 0.0536 and wR = 0.1207. The Ni2+ ion is six- coordinated to furnish a distorted octahedral geometry.     

Short Radiative Lifetime and Non-Triplet Sensitization in Near-Infrared-Luminescent Yb(III) Complex with Tripodal Schiff Base

We prepared Ln(III) (Ln=Eu, Gd, and Yb) complexes with a tripodal Schiff base, tris[2-(5-methylsalicylideneimino)ethyl]amine (H₃L) and studied their photophysical properties. Upon ligand excitation, YbL showed Yb(III)-centered luminescence in the near-infrared region. While the overall quantum yield (0.60(1)%) of YbL in acetonitrile was moderate among the reported values for Yb(III) complexes, its radiative lifetime (0.33(2) ms) was significantly shorter than those reported previously. We propose that the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) state mediated the sensitization in YbL. The emission and excitation spectra of EuL indicated the participation of the LMCT state in the sensitization. The radiative lifetime (0.84(7) ms) for EuL in the solid state was rather short compared to those of reported Eu(III) complexes. Our results show that the Yb(III) complex with the Schiff base ligand has two features: the short radiative lifetime and the non-triplet sensitization path.

Ruthenium(III) complexes of amine-bis(phenolate) ligands as catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of ketones

Twelve ruthenium(III) complexes bearing amine-bis(phenolate) tripodal ligands of general formula [Ru(L¹–L³)(X)(EPh₃)₂] (where L¹–L³ are dianionic tridentate chelator) have been synthesized by the reaction of ruthenium(III) precursors [RuX₃(EPh₃)₃] (where E = P, X = Cl; E = As, X = Cl or Br) and [RuBr₃(PPh₃)₂(CH₃OH)] with the tripodal tridentate ligands H₂L¹, H₂L² and H₂L³ in benzene in 1:1 molar ratio. The newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by analytical (elemental and magnetic susceptibility) and spectral methods. The complexes are one electron paramagnetic (low-spin, d⁵) in nature. The EPR spectra of the powdered samples at RT and the liquid samples at LNT shows the presence of three different ‘g’ values (g_x ≠ g_y ≠ g_z) indicate a rhombic distortion around the ruthenium ion. The redox potentials indicate that all the complexes undergo one electron transfer process. The catalytic activity of one of the complexes [Ru(pcr-chx)Br(AsPh₃)₂] was examined in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones and was found to be efficient with conversion up to 99% in the presence of isopropanol/KOH.

A New Synthesis of Charge‐Neutral Tris‐Pyrazolyl and ‐Methimazolyl Borate Ligands

The dimethylamine in the adducts [(HNMe₂)B(azolyl)₃] (azolyl=methimazolyl, pyrazolyl), obtained by reaction of the azole with B(NMe₂)₃, can readily be substituted with a range of nitrogen donors to provide new charge‐neutral, tripodal ligands in high yield. This observation has led to a revision of an earlier interpretation of the mechanism of the formation of these species. The donor properties of the ligands [(nmi)B(azolyl)₃] (nmi=N‐methylimidazole) have been compared with their anionic analogues [HB(azolyl)₃]^? by synthesis of their manganese(I)–tricarbonyl complexes and comparison of their infrared ν_CO energies. This comparison indicates that the new neutral ligands are only marginally weaker donors than the corresponding anionic hydrotris(azolyl)borate ligands. This may be explained by the ability of the attached nmi ring to stabilize a positive charge remotely from the coordinated metal, which may also account for the fact that the [(nmi)B(pyrazolyl)₃] ligand is a substantially stronger donor than the similarly neutral tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligand.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Mn8 Compound with Tripodal Ligand

A new manganese compound [Mn8(tmp)2(Htmp)4((CH3)3CCO2)4(py)2Cl2]·2py (1·2py, H3tmp = 1,1,1-tri(hydroxymethyl)propane, py = pyramid) has been synthesized and its structure was characterized by IR, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 belongs to the triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 13.378(5), b = 14.334(5), c = 15.012(6) , α = 107.637(5), β = 95.635(3), γ = 92.825(4)°, V = 2720.7(17) 3, Z = 1, C76H124N4O26Cl2Mn8, Mr = 2022.23, Dc = 1.234 Mg/m3, μ = 1.007 mm-1, F(000) = 1052, T = 293(2) K, the final R = 0.0755 and wR = 0.2163 for all 6463 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). X-ray analysis shows that the core of 1 contains a [Mn8] mixed-valence rod-like unit consisting of six edge-sharing triangles (Mn3), each of which is bridged by a μ3-oxygen atom.     

Tripodal Thiols as Ligands for Molecular Magnets: Very Strong Antiferromagnetic Exchange Interactions in Vanadium(III) Clusters

The synthesis, structural and magnetic characterisation of [V^III₃O(tmme)₂(diimine)₂Cl] [diimine=2,2′‐bipyridine ( 1 ) or 1,10‐phenanthroline ( 2 )] and (HNEt₃)₂[V^III₄O(tmme)₄] ( 3 ) is reported, in which H₃tmme is tris(mercaptomethyl)ethane, MeC(CH₂SH)₃, the thiol analogue of the famous tripodal alcohol ligands typified by H₃thme [tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane, MeC(CH₂OH)₃]. Complexes 1 and 3 have “T‐shaped” and square topologies, respectively, and the latter is centred on a rare example of a square‐planar oxide. The tri‐thiolate ligands bind the periphery of the clusters and provide such strong antiferromagnetic exchange pathways that in both cases only a single total spin state is occupied up to room temperature, in the absence of metal–metal bonding. Magnetic data, electronic structure calculations and electrochemical data are reported.     

Studies of two interrelated series of triiridatrithia-cyclohexane and trimetallatrithia (or trioxo)-adamantane rhodium and iridium complexes

From a comparativereview on the two title series of compounds, the first part of the paper describes the most salient structural and reactivity properties of these trimetallic complexes, including metal-metal bond formation, conformational changes, enantio, and diastereomorphism. The second part presentsnew results which extend the comparison to a series of trimetallatrioxo adamantane complexes. The single crystal X-ray diffraction of the parent compound [Rh₃{μ ₃−(OCH₂)₃CCH₃}(CO)₆]—a derivative of the commercially available tripod ligand 1,1,1tris (oxomethyl)ethane—is reported together with its crystal packing which is compared to that of its sulfido analog. The paper includes a discussion of the nucleophilic and electrophilic properties of the trimetalla trioxo adamantane rhodium complexes, based on semi-empirical extended Hückel calculations Dedicated to Professor Yves Jeannin on the occasion of his 65 th birthday.
