Bis(p‐nitrobenzoxasulfamato) Complexes of Cadmium(II) and Mercury(II) ‐ Synthesis,Spectra, and X‐Ray Crystal Structures

The reaction of sodium benzoxasulfamate (nbs) with cadmium(II) and mercury(II) sulfate in aqueous solution yield the novel complexes [Cd(nbs)₂(H₂O)₄] (1) and [Hg(nbs)₂(H₂O)₃] ( 2 ), respectively. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. Complex 1 is monomeric and has an octahedral arrangement in which the N‐donor nbs ligands occupy the axial positions, while the water oxygen atoms form the equatorial plane. Complex 2 is polymeric and shows a pentagonal bipyramidal arrangement achieved by the bridging of the HgN₂O₃ units through the weak interaction of the O atoms of the nitro group. The nbs ligands also occupy the axial positions of the pentagonal bipyramid, whereas three water and two nitro oxygen atoms constitute the pentagonal plane. The crystal structure packing in both crystals is achieved by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving water hydrogen atoms, nitro and sulfonyl oxygen atoms.     

Palladium(II)‐dppe‐arylazoimidazole Complexes: Synthesis and Spectroscopic Charecterization

Reaction of [Pd(dppe)Cl2/Br2] with AgOTf in a dichloromethane medium followed by ligand addition led to [Pd(dppe)(OSO2CF3)2] and then [Pd(dppe)(RaaiR’)](OSO2CF3)2 [RaaiR’＝p-R-C6H4-NN-C3H2-NN-1-R’, (1—3), abbreviated as a N,N’-chelator, where N(imidazole) and N(azo) are represented by N and N’, respectively; R＝H (a), Me (b), Cl (c) and R’＝Me (1), CH2CH3 (2), CH2Ph (3), OSO2CF3 is the triflate anion, dppe＝1,2-bis- (diphenylphosphinoethane)]. 31P NMR confirmed that due to the two phosphorus atom interaction in the azoimine symmetrical environment one sharp peak was formed. The 1H NMR spectral measurements suggest that azo-imine links with lot of phenyl protons in the aromatic region. 13C NMR spectrum, 1H-1H COSY and 1H-13C HMQC spectrum assign the solution structure and stereo-retentive conformation in each complex.     

Structural and Spectroscopic Characterization of Two New Thallium(I)/Thiosaccharinate Complexes

The crystal structures of [Tl(tsac)] ( 1 ) and [Tl(tsac)(ophen)] ( 2 ) (tsac = anion of thiosaccharin; ophen = 1, 10 phenanthroline) have been determined at 116 K by single crystal X‐ray diffractometry. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a with Z = 4 and complex 2 in the monoclinic space group C2/c with Z = 8.In both complexes T^I is coordinated to a thiosaccharinate anion through its sulphur and nitrogen atoms. A distorted eight fold coordination sphere around the cation in complex 1 is completed with two other longer Tl‐S bonds and four Tl···O contacts with five symmetry related neighbouring thiosaccharinate anions. A phenanthroline molecule acting as a bidentate ligand through its nitrogen atoms completes a four‐fold coordination around the metal atom in complex 2 . The infrared spectra of both complexes were also recorded and their most important features discussed on the basis of its structural peculiarities.     

Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of trans‐Dibromidobis(propane‐1, 3‐diamine)chromium(III) Perchlorate

The structure of trans‐[Cr(tn)₂Br₂]ClO₄ (tn = propane‐1, 3‐diamine) has been determined by a single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction study at 100 K. The complex crystallizes in the space group P$\bar{1}$ of the triclinic system with two mononuclear formula units in a cell of dimensions a = 6.8220(4), b = 8.86199(9), c = 12.6644(8) Å and α = 77.859(7)°, β = 81.765(6)°, and γ = 77.764(7)°. The chromium atom is in a slightly distorted octahedral environment coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two tn ligands and two bromine atoms in trans positions. The two six‐membered chelate rings in the complex cations are oriented in an anti chair‐chair conformation with respect to each other. The mean Cr–N(tn) and Cr–Br bonds are 2.093(3) and 2.4681(4) Å, respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by hydrogen bonds. The infrared and electronic absorption spectral properties are consistent with the result of X‐ray crystallography. It is confirmed that the nitrogen atoms of the tn ligand are strong σ‐donors, but the bromido ligands have weak σ‐ and π‐donor properties toward the chromium(III) ion.     

Synthesen und Strukturen der Lithiumtitanate(III) und ‐(IV), (py)2Li[(py)2Ti(OPh)4] und (py)2Li[(py)Ti(OPh)5]

Syntheses and Structures of the Lithiumtitanates(III)/(IV) (py)₂Li[(py)₂Ti(OPh)₄] and (py)₂Li[(py)Ti(OPh)₅] The new lithiumtitanates (py)₂Li[(py)₂Ti(OPh)₄] ( 1 ) and (py)₂Li[(py)Ti(OPh)₅] ( 2 ) have been obtained from the reaction of titaniumtrichloride (respectively titaniumtetrachloride 2 ) with LiOPh in the presence of the base pyridine (py). The crystal structures of both compounds show that the titanium atoms are in the centres of distorted octahedral coordination figures. In compound 1 , four oxygen and two nitrogen atoms (in cis orientation) are bonded to titanium, whereas in 2 , five oxygen and one nitrogen atom form the coordination polyeder around titanium. In both compounds, the lithium atoms are attached through phenolate bridges to the octahedra. The titanate (py)₂Li[(py)₂Ti(OPh)₄] ( 1 ) has a single absorption band in the visible region of the UV‐spectrum showing a shoulder shifted to the bathochromic region, due to the Jahn‐Teller‐effect for d¹‐systems.

Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group with Z = 8 whereas complex 2 belongs to the triclinic P1 space group with Z = 2. Room temperature magnetic susceptibilities as well as electronic and IR spectra of both complexes were discussed. Their thermal behaviour was investigated by means of TG and DTA methods.     

Stabilization of Highly Reactive “Naked Anions”: Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Vibrational Spectrum of [Na(12‐crown‐4)2]2 [P2S6] · CH3CN

The novel thiodiphosphate, [Na(12‐crown‐4)₂]₂[P₂S₆] · CH₃CN, bis[di(12‐crown‐4)sodium] hexathiodiphosphate(V) acetonitrile solvate ( 1 ) has been synthesized by the reaction of Na₂[P₂S₆] with 12‐crown‐4 in dry acetonitrile.

Sodium ion is coordinated by the eight oxygen atoms of two crown‐ether molecules to form a square antiprisma. Solvent molecules of CH₃CN are statistically disordered. Distances and angles of the [P₂S₆]^2? unit are similar to those in [K(18‐crown‐6)]₂ [P₂S₆] · 2 CH₃CN, and in K₂[P₂S₆] and Cs₂[P₂S₆]. The FT‐Raman and FT‐IR spectrum of the title compound has been recorded and interpreted, especially with respect to the P₂S₆ group and in comparison to the few known metal hexathiodiphosphates(V).     

Synthesis,Structure, and Optical Properties of New Cadmium Chalcogenide Clusters of the Type [Cd10E4(E'Ph)12(PR3)4], (E,E' = Te,Se, S)

New cadmium chalcogenide cluster molecules [Cd₁₀E₄(E'Ph)₁₂(PⁿPr₃)₄], E = Te, E' = Te ( 1 ) and [Cd₁₀E₄(E'Ph)₁₂ (PⁿPr₂Ph)₄] E = Te, E' = Se ( 2 ); E = Te E' = S ( 3 ); E = Se, E' = S ( 4 ) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X‐ray structure analysis. The influence of the variation of the chalcogen atom is investigated by structural means and by optical spectroscopy. All cluster‐molecules have a broad emission in the blue‐visible range at low temperature as indicated by photo luminescence (PL) measurements. A clear classification of the emission peak position can be made based on the E' species suggesting that the emission is assigned to transitions associated with the cluster surface ligands. Photoluminescence excitation and absorption measurements display a systematic shift of the band gap to the higher energies with the variation of E and E' from Te to Se to S, as also occurs in the respective series of the bulk semiconductors.     

Mono and Poly‐nuclear Silver(I) Complexes with Thiosaccharin and Triphenylphosphine. Synthesis,Spectroscopic and Structural Characterization of Thiosaccharinato‐bis(triphenylphosphine)silver(I) and Tetrakis{thiosaccharinato(triphenylphosphine)silver(I)}

The reaction of Ag₆(tsac)₆ ( 1 ) (tsac = thiosaccharinate anion) with triphenylphosphine gives rise to the already reported [Ag(tsac)(PPh₃)₃] complex ( 2 ) and to two new silver‐thiosaccharinate‐phosphine complexes, [Ag(tsac)(PPh₃)₂] ( 3 ) and [Ag₄(tsac)₄(PPh₃)₄] ( 4 ) (PPh₃= triphenylphosphine). Spectroscopic characterization was carried out using IR, UV‐Visible and NMR techniques and confirmed by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. In each complex a singular coordination mode for the thiosaccharinate ligand is observed. The most important features of the different coordination modes of the thionates are discussed. Compound 3 crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group Pn, with a = 11.2293(3) Å, b = 12.7282(3) Å, c = 13.6056(4) Å, β = 94.985(2)°, Z = 2; while crystals of compound 4 are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 15.024(3) Å, b = 14.681(3) Å, c = 21.914(4) Å, β = 95.31(3)°, Z = 2. The coordination around the silver atoms in both complexes consists of almost trigonal‐planar arrangements, AgP₂S in 3 and AgS₂P in 4 .     

Two Manganese(II) Complexes with a Bulky Fluorene‐Based Carboxylate Ligand: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Luminescent Properties

To explore the coordination possibilities of fluorene‐based ligands, two manganese(II) complexes with the ligand 9,9‐dibutyl‐9H‐fluorene‐2,7‐carboxylate ( L ) were synthesized and characterized: [Mn₂( L )₂(DMF)₃]_∞ ( 1 ) and [Mn₂( L )₂(DMF)]_∞ ( 2 ). X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction analyses show that complex 1 has a two‐dimensional (2D) (4,4) structure, whereas complex 2 consits of a three‐dimensional (3D) (4,5)‐connected topology framework. The results indicate that the steric bulk of the fluorene ring in H₂ L plays an important role in the formations of 1 and 2 . Additional pyridine‐based ligands govern the formation of the final frameworks of 2 . Moreover, the luminescent properties of these complexes were briefly investigated.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic and Structural Aspects of Mono‐ and Diorganothallium(III) Complexes of 2, 6‐Diacetylpyridine Bis(thiosemicarbazone) (H2DAPTSC) — A New Coordination Mode of the HDAPTSC— Anion

The reaction of 2, 6‐diacetylpyridine bis(thiosemicarbazone) (H₂DAPTSC) with dimethylthallium hydroxide yielded the complexes [(TlMe₂)₂(DAPTSC)] and [TlMe₂(HDAPTSC)]. The structure of [TlMe₂(HDAPTSC)], determined by X‐ray diffractometry, exhibits a hitherto unknown coordination mode of the HDAPTSC^— anion in which its deprotonated thiosemicarbazone chain coordinates one metal atom through its sulphur and hydrazinic N atoms while a second metal atom is weakly coordinated through the S atom of the undeprotonated thiosemicarbazone chain. Each thallium atom is coordinated in both ways, with the result that the [TlMe₂(HDAPTSC)] units are linked in infinite helical chains in the direction of the b axis. When reacting with diphenylthallium(III) hydroxide, H₂DAPTSC induced a dephenylation process which led to the monophenylthallium(III) complex [TlPh(DAPTSC)]. Recrystallization from acetone yielded crystals of [TlPh(DAPTSC)]·C₃H₆O in which X‐ray diffractometry showed DAPTSC^2— to be pentadentate, coordinating through its sulphur, azomethine N and pyridine N atoms. The ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁰⁵Tl NMR data of [TlPh(DAPTSC)] indicate that its solid state molecular structure persists in DMSO solution, while those of [TlMe₂(HDAPTSC)] indicate rapid alternation between coordination of the metal atom to one of the HDAPTSC^— thiosemicarbazone chains and its coordination to the other.     

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of New Lead(II) Thiosaccharinates. Molecular Structure of Bis(thiosaccharinato)tetrakis(pyridine)dilead(II) and Thiosaccharinato‐bis(1,10‐phenantroline)lead(II) Thiosaccharinate

Four new lead(II) thiosaccharinate complexes: [Pb(tsac)₂H₂O] (1) (tsac: thiosaccharinate anion), [Pb₂(tsac)₄(py)₄] (2) (py: pyridine), [Pb(tsac)(o‐phen)₂](tsac)·CH₃CN (3) (o‐phen: 1,10‐phenantroline), and [Pb(tsac)₂(bipy)] (4) (bipy: 2,2′‐bipyridine) were prepared. The infrared and electronic spectra as well as the thermal analysis of all the compounds were recorded and discussed. The thiosaccharinate anion acts in three different coordination forms, one of then reported for the first time. The crystal structures of complexes 2 and 3 have been determined by single crystal X‐ray diffractometry. In complex 2 , two monomeric moieties are joined together forming a symmetric bis‐μ‐sulphur bridged dimer by interaction of two lead(II) atoms through the exocyclic sulphur atoms of two thiosaccharinate ligands. The seven‐fold coordination sphere of each lead atom is completed by two pyridine nitrogen atoms and by another sulfur and two nitrogen atoms of the thiosaccharinate anions. In complex 3 , the lead(II) atom is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two 1,10‐phenantroline molecules and by the sulfur and nitrogen atoms of one thiosaccharinate ion. The second anion has an electrostatic interaction with the nucleus.

The synthesis and characterization of mononuclear tetrakis‐aziridine nickel(II ) and copper(II ) complexes as well as of a dinuclear bis‐aziridine copper(II ) complex are described. The reactions of anhydrous MCl₂ (M = Ni^II, Cu^II) with aziridine (= az = C₂H₄NH, C₂H₃MeNH, CH₂CMe₂NH) in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature in a 1:5 and 1:2 molar ratio, respectively, afforded the tetrakis‐aziridine complexes [M(az)₄Cl₂] (M = Ni, Cu) or the dimeric bis‐aziridine complex [Cu(az)₂Cl₂]₂. After purification, all of the complexes were fully characterized. The single crystal structure analysis revealed two different coordination modes. Whereas both nickel(II ) complexes can be classified as showing an elongated octahedral structure, copper(II ) complexes show either an elongated octahedral or a square pyramidal arrangement forming dimers with chlorido bridges in axial positions. Furthermore, the results of magnetic measurements of the nickel(II ) and copper(II ) compounds are presented.     

Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Behaviour of Bis(2‐mercaptopyridine‐N‐oxide)oxovanadium(IV)

The complex [VO(MPO)₂] (MPO = deprotonated 2‐mercaptopyridine N‐oxide) was synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy. Its electrochemical behaviour was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in different organic solvents. The V^IV/V^V and V^IV/V^III couples could be identified. The nature of the electroactive species is strongly dependent on the solvent. The results are discussed in terms of a reaction mechanism describing the characteristics of the electron transfer processes and the involved chemical reactions, and the stability of the complex in each solvent was also determined. The electronic spectra of the investigated solutions gave additional support to the proposed mechanisms.

The N‐functionalized macrocyclic ligand 2,13‐bis(1‐naphthalenylmethyl)‐5,16‐dimethyl‐2,6,13,17‐tetraazatricyclo(14,4,0^1.18,0^7.12)docosane (L³) and its copper(II) complex were prepared. The crystal structure of [Cu(L³)](ClO₄)₂·2CH₃CN was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction at 150 K. The copper atom, which lies on an inversion centre, has a square planar arrangement and the complex adopts a stable trans‐III configuration. The longer distance [2.081(2) Å] for Cu–N(tertiary) compared to 2.030(3) Å for Cu–N(secondary) may be due to the steric effect of the attached naphthalenylmethyl group on the tertiary nitrogen atom. Two perchlorate ions are weakly attached to copper in axial sites and are further connected to the ligand of the cation through NH ··· O hydrogen bonds [N ··· O 3.098 Å]. IR and UV/Vis spectroscopic properties are also described.

Fe^IIL₂(OTf)₂ ( 1 ) and Mn^IIL₂(OTf)₂ ( 2 ) (L = tris(1‐ethyl‐4‐methylimidazolyl‐κN)phosphine; OTf= trifluoromethanesulfonate) were synthesized and their X‐ray structures were determined. Both complexes possess distorted octahedral geometry with high spin electron configuration at ambient temperature. Compound 1 exhibits a quasi‐reversible wave with E_1/2 of 0.745 V versus Ag/AgNO₃.

In addition, a plot of 1/χ_M versus T(K) is linear with a Curie constant of 3.48 emu mol^?1 K.     

Syntheses and Characterizations of Two Palladium(II) Complexes of 5‐Mercapto‐1‐methyltetrazole

Reaction of PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ with the sodium salt of 5‐mercapto‐1‐methyltetrazole (MetzSNa) in methanol solution affords an interesting dinuclear palladium complex [Pd₂(MetzS)₄ ] ( 1 ). However, treatment of PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ with neutral MetzSH ligand in methanol solution produces a mononuclear palladium complex [Pd(MetzSH)₄]Cl₂ ( 2 ). Both complexes were characterized by IR, ¹HNMR, UV‐Vis spectroscopy as well as X‐ray crystallography. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses of two complexes lead to the elucidation of the structures and show that 1 possesses an asymmetric structure: one Pd atom is tetracoordinated by three sulfur atoms and one nitrogen atom to form PdS₃N coordination sphere, the other Pd atom is tetracoordinated by three nitrogen atoms and one sulfur atom to form PdSN₃ coordination sphere. The molecules of 1 are associated to 1‐D infinite linear chain by weak intermolecular Pd···S contacts in the crystal lattice. In 2 , the Pd atom lies on an inversion center and has a square‐planar coordination involving the S atoms from four MetzSH ligands. The two chloride ions are not involved in coordination, but are engaged in hydrogen bonding.
