Abstract The present investigation describes syntheses, characterization and studies of the mononuclear compound [CuIIL,(H2O)] (1), the triangular, trinuclear monophenoxido-bridged compounds [{CuIIL}2MII(H2O)2](ClO4)2·nH2O [2 (M = Cu, n = 0), 3 (M = Ni, n = 3), 4 (M = Co, n = 0), 5 (M = Fe, n = 0)] and the tetrametallic self-assembled complex [{CuIILMnII(H2O)3}{CuIIL}2](ClO4)2·H2O (6) derived from compartmental Schiff base ligand, H2L, which is the [2+1] condensation product of 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde and trans -1,2-diaminocyclohexane. Single-crystal X-ray structures of 2, 5 and 6 were determined. Two pairs of terminal···central metal ions in the trinuclear cores in 2 and 5 are monophenoxido-bridged. Interestingly, the CuO6 and FeO6 environments have tetragonally compressed octahedral geometries. On the other hand, the structure of 6 reveals that it is a [2×1+1×2] cocrystal of one diphenoxido-bridged dinuclear [CuIILMnII(H2O)3]2+ dication and two mononuclear [CuIIL] moieties. Cocrystallization in 6 takes place as a result of water encapsulation. The variable-temperature (2,300 K) magnetic susceptibilities of compounds 2,6 have been measured. The exchange integrals obtained are: the CuII3 compound 2, J = ,78.9 cm,1; the CuIINiIICuII compound 3, J = ,22.8 cm,1; the CuIICoIICuII compound 4, J = ,7.8 cm,1; the CuIIFeIICuII compound 5, J = ,3.0 cm,1; the CuII3MnII compound 6, J = ,15.1 cm,1. The monophenoxido-bridging core in 3 and 4 has been proposed after comparison of the structures and magnetic properties of these two compounds with those of 2, 5 and related other compounds. This paper presents rare examples of monophenoxido-bridged CuIIMIICuII (M = Cu, Ni, Co and Fe) compounds, provides an understanding of the structures from magnetic exchange integrals, and, most importantly, reports on the first example of a cocrystal derived from a 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde diamine compartmental ligand.

Characterization of spin crossover crystal surface by AFM

Abstract Imaging nano-domains in spin crossover (SCO) compounds remains so far an unreached goal. We report on the first AFM tapping-mode investigation of SCO single crystals, performed at room temperature with the well known mononuclear compound [Fe(ptz)6](BF4)2 (ptz,=,1-propyl-tetrazole) and the trinuclear supramolecular compound [Fe3(hyetrz)6(H2O)6](CF3SO3)6 (hyetrz,=,4-(2,-hydroxyethyl)-1,2,4-triazole) which shows a gradual spin conversion centred at room temperature. The natural surface of the former crystal revealed a volatile coating of the scanned area attributed to the transport of adsorbed water under the effect of interaction with the AFM tip. The second one showed astonishing leopard-skin patterns assigned to the effect of atmospheric humidity on this hygroscopic compound. Their origin is discussed. We suggest the use of fluid coating layers as a general method for revealing the nano-patterning of physical properties (e.g. like-spin domains) at the surface of dielectric materials.

A monomeric gold(I) carbanion complex with an uncoordinated thioether: [2-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl](triphenylphosphine)gold(I)

The title compound, [Au(C7H7S)(C18H15P)], is conformationally chiral and crystallizes from benzene,hexane as individually enantiopure crystals. This mononuclear compound has the AuI atom linearly bound to a triphenylphosphine P atom and to a phenyl C atom of a 2-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl group. The angle at the AuI atom is 175.9,(2)°. The linear ligand coordination about the AuI atom has geometric parameters inside the remarkably narrow range found for gold complexes bound by a phosphine ligand and by the ortho -C atom of a substituted phenyl group. This is the first example of gold(I) attached to a methylsulfanyl aromatic carbanion. [source]

Synthesis, characterization and hydroformylation activity of 7-azaindolate-bridged dinuclear rhodium(I)phosphines with pendant polar-groups

Abstract New dinuclear Rh(I),Phosphines of the types [Rh(µ-azi)(CO)(L)]2 (1,3,7) and [Rh(µ-azi)(L)]2 (8) with pendant polar groups, and a chealated mononuclear compound [Rh(azi-H)(CO)(L)] (2) (where azi = 7-azaindolate, L = polar phosphine) were isolated from the reaction of [Rh(µ-Cl)(CO)2]2 with 7-azaindolate followed by some polar mono - and bis -phosphines (L1,L8). A relationship between ,,31P-NMR and ,(CO) values was considered to define the impact of polar-groups on ,-donor properties of the phosphines. These compounds were evaluated as catalyst precursors in the hydroformylation of 1-hexene and 1-dodecene both in mono- and biphasic aqueous organic systems. While the biphasic hydroformylations (water + toluene) gave exclusively the aldehydes, the monophasic one (aqueous ethanol) showed propensity to form both aldehydes and alcohols. The influence of bimetallic cooperative effects, and ,-donor and hydrophilic properties of the phosphines with pendant polar-groups in enhancing the yields and selectivity of hydroformylation products was emphasized. In addition, when strong ,-donor phosphine was used, the ,-acceptor nature of pyridine ring of 7-azaindolate spacer was found to be a considerable factor in facilitating the facile cleavage of CO group during hydroformylation and in supplementing the cooperative effects.

Pressure Effect Investigations on the Spin Crossover Systems{Fe[H2B(pz)2]2(bipy)} and {Fe[H2B(pz)2]2(phen)}

Abstract Pressure effect studies on the spin crossover behaviour of the mononuclear compounds {Fe[H2B(pz)2]2(bipy)}(1) and {Fe[H2B(pz)2]2(phen)}(2) have been performed in the range of 105 Pa,1.02 GPa at variable temperatures (100,310 K). Continuous spin transitions and displacement of its characteristic temperature has been observed for 1 with increasing pressure. Meanwhile the response of 2 under applied pressures is quite unexpected, and can only be understood in terms of a crystallographic phase transition or change in the bulk modulus of the compound.
