Selected AbstractsAntimony Amide Oxide and Antimony Chloride Oxide Wrapped in an Organoaluminum FrameworkEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2008Sanjay Singh Abstract Syntheses of trimetallic aluminum and antimony compounds containing an Al2O2SbN and an Al2O2SbCl core in [LAl(Me)(,-O)]2Sb(NMe2) and [LAl(Me)(,-O)]2SbCl, respectively, are reported. The former compound represents an example of an amide oxide of antimony and the latter is an example of a chloride oxide of antimony incorporated in an organoaluminum framework which in turn is supported by a sterically encumbered ,-diketiminate ligand L {L = HC[C(Me)N-2,6- iPr2C6H3]2}. The solid-state structure of [LAl(Me)(,-O)]2Sb(NMe2) was elucidated by the aid of single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique which shows the molecule to crystallize in the triclinic space group P.

Seidel Abstract A family of thio-alkyne complexes [Tp,Mo(CO)(L)(BnSC2S)] {Bn = benzyl, Tp, = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, L = carbonyl (2), 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (7), tert -butyl isocyanide (8), 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (9)} was prepared by reductive removal of a benzyl group in the corresponding bis(benzylthio)acetylene complexes [Tp,Mo(CO)(L)(BnSC2SBn)](PF6) (1 -PF6, 4 -PF6, 5 -PF6 and 6 -PF6). All complexes were characterized by IR, 1H, 13C spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. X-ray diffraction studies of 5 -PF6, 8 and 9 were carried out. The alkyne ligand is bound symmetrically to molybdenum in 5 -PF6 and unsymmetrically in 8 and 9. The trend in the ,-acidity of ligand L is reflected in the spectroscopic and electrochemical data as well as in the molecular structures. Variable temperature 1H NMR investigations with 7, 8 and 9 disclosed that the barrier of the alkyne rotation at molybdenum decreases in the order of rising electron density at the metal center while the steric demand increases. Therefore, electronic control of the barrier by the specific character of the ligand L is evident.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

An investigation of the charge distributions of the coordination atoms and single-point energy calculations of four conformers of ligand L based on the geometry of conformers optimized by the DFT (density functional theory) method was carried out. The results show that the four conformers of ligand L take on two stable and two less stable configurations. Theory forecasts that two relatively stable configurations present in complexes as probable coordination motifs of the ligand, and that steric hindrance of pyridine nitrogen atoms in isomers will affect its coordination ability together with the electronic factor. This forecast has been demonstrated by the coordination chemistry of ligand L, that is, configuration (a) and (b) of the ligand occur in the following reported complexes, which combines with AgI or CuII through two coordination modes (bidentate bridging or a monodentate mode) resulting in coordination polymers {[Ag (L)2]NO3}n (2), [Cu2(L)2(maa)4]n (maa = methacrylic acid) (3), and the mononuclear molecule [Cu(L)4](ClO4)2·2CH3CH2OH (4). The ligand assumes different coordination modes in the three complexes because of different levels of steric hindrance of the pyridine nitrogen atoms in the conformers. Interestingly, polymers 2 and 3 assume a 1D helical structure and a linear framework, respectively, and 4 has a 2D supramolecular architecture induced from hydrogen bond interactions. In addition, the magnetic properties of 3 have been explored, which shows a strong antiferromagnetic interaction.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Casares Abstract The air-stable complexes trans -[Ni(C6Cl2F3)2L2] (L = SbPh3, 1; AsPh3, 2; AsCyPh2, 3; AsMePh2, 4; PPh3, 5) have been synthesized by arylation of [NiBr2(dme)] (dme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) in the presence of the corresponding ligand L (for compounds 1,4) or by ligand substitution starting from 1 (for compound 5). The structures of 1, 2, and 5 have been determined by X-ray diffraction and show an almost perfect square-planar geometry in all cases. Their catalytic activity in insertion polymerization of norbornene have been tested showing a strong dependence of the yield and molecular mass of the polymer on the ligand used and the solvent. High yield and high molecular mass values are obtained using complexes with ligands easy to displace from NiII (SbPh3 is the best) and noncoordinating solvents. Complexes 1,3 are suggested as convenient bench-catalysts to have available in the lab. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The structures of the complexes have been assigned on the basis of their solution spectroscopic and microanalytical data, and confirmed by X-ray crystallography in the case of the europium(III) complex 2. The structural analysis of the dinuclear complex 2 showed the presence of two europium centers [Eu(1) and Eu(2)] and four ligands L. Each europium ion is coordinated by 9 donor atoms with typical Eu,N and Eu,O distances. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

On the other hand reaction of 1 equiv. of LH with trimethylaluminum did not lead to the formation of complex LAlMe2 (3), rather 2 together with Me3Al were observed as a result of a disproportionation of 3. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and in the case of 1 by X-ray diffraction. Derivative 2 underwent transmetalation with Ph3SnOH, giving LSnPh3 (4) as the result of a migration of ligand L from the aluminum to the tin atom. The identity of 4 was established by elemental analysis, 1H, 13C and 119Sn NMR spectroscopy and 1H, 119Sn HMBC experiments. The system 2 and B(C6F5)3 in a 1:1 molar ratio was shown to be active in the polymerization of propylene oxide and ,-caprolactone. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Organotin(IV) and organolead(IV) complexes as biocides and fertility regulators: synthetic, spectroscopic and biological studiesAPPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2006Ashu Chaudhary Abstract Biocidal, antifertility and spectroscopic aspects of organotin(IV) and organolead(IV) complexes with amino acids(L) and 2,2-bipyridine(L,) are described with the support of elemental analysis, IR, 1H, 13C, 119Sn and 207Pb NMR spectroscopy. The spectral data suggest that the ligand L acts in a monodentate and ligand L, in a bidentate manner, coordinating through the nitrogen atoms. The complexes have been characterized on the basis of molecular weight determinations and conductivity measurements. The isolated products are coloured solids, soluble in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol. All the complexes are monomeric in nature, as indicated by their molecular weight determinations. Conductivity measurements in dry DMF show them to be non-electrolytes. The complexes have been screened against a number of fungi and bacteria to assess their growth inhibiting potential. The results are positive. In addition to these studies, the complexes show good antimicrobial properties as compared with their starting materials. The testicular sperm density, sperm morphology, sperm motility, density of cauda epididymis, spermatozoa and fertility in mating trials and the biochemical parameters of the reproductive organs of rats were examined and are discussed in detail.

[source] P NMR studies on the ligand dissociation of trinuclear molybdenum cluster compoundsCHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 9 2003Zhao-Ji Li Abstract A series of carboxylate-substituted trinuclear molybdenum cluster compounds formulated as Mo3S4(DTP)3(RCO2)(L), where R = H, CH3, C2H5, CH2Cl, CCl3, R1C6H4(R1 is the group on the benzene ring of aromatic carboxylate), L = pyridine, CH3CN, DMF, have been synthesized by the ligand substitution reaction. The dissociation of the loosely-coordinated ligand L from the cluster core was studied by 31P NMR. The dissociation process of L is related to the solvent, temperature, and acidity of carboxylate groups, so as to affect the solution structure and reactive properties of the cluster. The long-distance interaction between ligands RCO2 and L is transported by Mo3S4 core. [source] Dynamic Stereochemical Behaviour of Congested Ruthenium(II) Complexes Containing Asymmetric Thioether Ligands Based on Pyridine and PyrimidineEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 30 2008Giuseppe Tresoldi Abstract The asymmetric thioethers L [L = 2-pyridylmethyl 2,-pyrimidyl sulfide (pps) and 2-(4-methylpyrimidyl) 2,-pyridylmethyl sulfide (mps)] reacted with cis -[RuCl2(N,N -L,)2] [L, = di-2-pyridyl sulfide (dps); 2,2,-bis(4-methylpyridyl) sulfide (4mdps); 2,2,-bis(5-methylpyridyl) sulfide (5mdps)] to give the five-membered-ring chelate complexes [Ru(N,N -L,)2(Npyridine,S -L)]++ as the major products (92,95,%). Because the sulfur and ruthenium atoms are stereogenic centres, with (R) and (S) and , and , configurations, respectively, four isomers, including the enantiomers were obtained. At low temperature and in the methylene region of the 1H NMR spectra, two AB systems due to the enantiomer couples ,S ,R (a) and ,R ,S (b) were observed with abundances of 77,89 and 6,18,%, respectively. Furthermore, NMR spectroscopic investigations showed that the hybrid polydentate ligands L change their coordination mode. Thus, although a and b largely predominate, a mixture of species containing L and the Ru(N,N -L,)2 unit in the ratio 1:1 are present. The four-membered-ring chelate complexes [Ru(N,N -L,)2(Npyrimidine,S -L)]++ (c), as minor species (abundance 1,8,%), are always observed, whereas the dinuclear species [{Ru(N,N -L,)2}2(,-L)2]+4 (d, e) are observed when L, = dps or 5mdps. In these cases, four AB systems are assigned to dinuclear species d and e containing two bridging L that act as Npyridine,S- or Npyridine,Npyrimidine -donor ligands. The 1H NMR spectra are temperature dependent in that at low temperature the complexes undergo inversion of the chiral centre of the coordinated sulfur atom (a [rlhar2] b) and the dimer (d, e) and monomer (c) are in equilibrium; at higher temperatures the complexes undergo a structural dynamic rearrangement, which involves exchange between the coordinated and uncoordinated N atoms (b [rlhar2] c). One-dimensional band-shape analysis of the exchanging methylene and methyl proton signals showed that the energy barriers for inversion of the sulfur centre are in the 50,53 kJ,mol,1 range, whereas those for the higher-temperatures process are in the 62,68 kJ,mol,1 range. The possible mechanisms of the processes are discussed. NMR spectroscopic findings suggest that inversion at the sulfur centre occurs without any bond rupture, whereas the exchange, at higher temperatures (b [rlhar2] c), is a dissociative process involving the breaking of a Ru,Npyridine bond.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008) [source] Reductive Activation of tripod Metal Compounds: Identification of Intermediates and Preparative Application,EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 9 2008Jürgen Mautz Abstract [tripodCoCl2] {tripod = CH3C(CH2PPh2)3} when treated with KC8 in THF solution under an argon atmosphere produces a reactive species ["tripodCo0"] (A) which undergoes oxidative additions with stannanes, [tripodCo(H)2(SnBu3)] (4), formed, for example, by addition of Bu3SnH. Silanes, R3SiH, undergo the same type of reaction producing [tripodCo(H)2(SiR3)] (R = Et: 5a; R = Ph: 5b). The solid-state structures of all the compounds [tripodCo(H)2(ER3)] (E = Si, R = Ph; E = Sn, R = Ph, Bu) are rather similar. While they contain six-coordinate cobalt with the formal oxidation state of cobalt being +III the coordination geometry is not octahedral: the heteroelement E deviates from the position which it would have in octahedral coordination by around 40° while the other five ligands, three phosphorus and two hydrogen, have the expected interligand angles of around 90° and 180°, respectively. The deviation of the heteroelement E is such that it approaches the metal bonded hydrogen atoms leading to short H···E contacts of only about 190 pm (E = Si) and 230 pm (E = Sn), respectively. The generation of a reactive species ["tripodCo0"] (A) was transferred to the synthesis of a reactive tripodnickel(0) species by treating a THF solution of [(DME)NiBr2] with KC8 in the presence of tripod. This species reacts with two electron donor ligands L to produce the pseudo tetrahedral compounds [tripodNi(L)] {L = PPh3 (6), AsPh3 (7), cHexNC (8), tBuNC (9), C2H4 (10)}. The identity of the reactive nickel(0) species as unequivocally deduced from NMR experiments is [tripod4Ni3] (12). All compounds were characterised by the usual analytic techniques including X-ray analysis where applicable.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008) [source] Synthesis of (Vinylidene)- and (Cyclopropenyl)ruthenium Complexes Containing a Tris(pyrazolyl)borato (Tp) LigandEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 23 2004Yih-Hsing Lo Abstract A convenient high-yield route to [Ru(C,C,Ph)(Tp)(PPh3)2] [2; Tp = HB(pz)3, pz = pyrazolyl] has been found through the intermediacy of [RuCl2(Hpz)2(PPh3)2] (1). This complex is readily obtained on treatment of [RuCl2(PPh3)3] with 2 equiv. of pyrazole in boiling THF. The molecular structures of complexes 1 and 2 have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. A number of new cationic vinylidene complexes [Ru{=C=C(Ph)CH2R}(Tp)(PPh3)2]+ [3a, R = CN; 3b, R = HC=CH2; 3c, R = CH=C(CH3)2; 3d, R = Ph; 3e, R = C(O)OMe] have been prepared by electrophilic addition of organic halides to complex 2. The deprotonation reaction of 3a yields the cyclopropenyl complex 4a. One phosphane ligand of 4a is remarkably labile, being replaced by donor ligands L to yield diastereomeric mixtures of the cyclopropenyl complexes 5a,5d mostly in an approximate 4:1 ratio. The cyclopropenyl rings in 4a and 5a are susceptible to ring opening by I2. In addition, treatment of 4a with nBuNC in the presence of MeOH results in substitution of a phosphane ligand by nBuNC followed by protonation of the three-membered ring by MeOH. This is then followed by addition of methoxide to give the vinyl ether complex [Ru{C(OMe)=C(Ph)CH2CN}(Tp)(PPh3)(nBuNC)] (8a). (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004) [source] Comparative DFT study on the role of conformers in the ruthenium alkylidene-catalyzed ROMP of norborn-2-eneJOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 11 2008Sergej Naumov Abstract Comparative quantum chemical calculations on the reaction pathways for the formation of ruthena(IV)cyclobutanes from both 1st - and 2nd -generation Grubbs catalysts of the general formula RuX2(L)(L,)(CH2) (L,=,PCy3 or 1,3-dimesityl-4,5-dihydroimidazolin-2-ylidene, L,,=,PCy3) and norborn-2-ene (NBE) were carried out on the B3LYP/LACVP** level in dependence on the ligand X,=,I, Br, Cl, and F. The mechanism proposed by Straub for the formation of (one) active and (three) inactive NBE,Ru,carbene complexes for non-cyclic alkenes was applied to the cyclic alkene NBE. In RuX2(PCy3)2(CH2), the inactive NBE,Ru,carbene complex is energetically more stable than the active one; however, in RuX2(IMesH2)(PCy3)(CH2), the active NBE,Ru,carbene complex is more stable than the inactive one. In due consequence, the possible rate limiting barrier for the conversion of the NBE,Ru,carbene complex into the corresponding metallocyclobutane (MCB) is systematically larger in the case of 1st -generation Grubbs catalysts than of 2nd -generation Grubbs catalysts due to an additional re-arrangement for the formation of an active , -complex from the more stable (inactive) conformer. This correlates with the observed reactivity of both types of initiators. There is a strong influence of the ligands L and X on the conformational properties and relative stabilities of the 14-electron intermediates, which has a direct effect on the distribution of the inactive and active conformations of the corresponding Ru,carbene,NBE complexes. A direct correlation between the conformational properties of the 14-electron intermediates and the relative stabilities of the active Ru,carbene,NBE complexes was observed.

[source] Tuning the Polarization Along Linear Polyaromatic Strands for Rationally Inducing Mesomorphism in Lanthanide Nitrate ComplexesCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 6 2007Emmanuel Terazzi Dr. Abstract The opposite orientation of the ester spacers in the rodlike ligands L,4C12 (benzimidazole-OOC-phenyl) and L,5C12 (benzimidazole-COO-phenyl) drastically changes the electronic structure of the aromatic systems, without affecting their meridional tricoordination to trivalent lanthanides, LnIII, and their thermotropic liquid crystalline (i.e., mesomorphic) behaviors. However, the rich mesomorphism exhibited by the complexes [Ln(L,4C12)(NO3)3] (Ln=La,Lu) vanishes in [Ln(L,5C12)(NO3)3], despite superimposable molecular structures and comparable photophysical properties. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependant DFT calculations performed in the gas phase show that the inversion of the ester spacers has considerable effects on the electronic structure and polarization of the aromatic groups along the strands, which control residual intermolecular interactions responsible for the formation of thermotropic liquid-crystalline phases. As a rule of thumb, an alternation of electron-poor and electron-rich aromatic rings favors intermolecular interactions between the rigid cores and consequently mesomorphism, a situation encountered for L,4C12, L,5C12, [Ln(L,4C12)(NO3)3], but not for [Ln(L,5C12)(NO3)3]. The intercalation of an additional electron-rich diphenol ring on going from [Ln(L,5C12)(NO3)3] to [Ln(L,6C12)(NO3)3] restores mesomorphism despite an unfavorable orientation of the ester spacers, in agreement with our simple predictive model.
