Tripodal Ligand (tripodal + ligand)
Selected AbstractsMono-, Di- and Polymeric Calcium and Gadolinium Complexes of the Tripodal Ligand 2,2,,2,,-Nitrilotribenzoic AcidEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2005Stefan Wörl Abstract Three novel carboxylate-bridged complexes incorporating the tripodal N,O ligand 2,2,,2,,-nitrilotribenzoic acid H3L of formula [CaII(H2L)(OH2)4][(H2L)]·4H2O (1), [CaII(OH2)4]-[CaII(L)(OH2)2]2·7H2O (2) and [GdIII(L)(OH2)3]2[GdIII(L)-(OH2)4]2·13H2O (3) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. In all three complexes, the ligand H3L binds to the metal centre only by its three carboxylate donors, leaving the bridgehead nitrogen atom nonbonding. The calcium(II) ion in the monomeric complex 1 is distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal coordinated, the +1 charge of the complex cation [CaII(H2L)(OH2)4]+ is balanced by an H2L, anion and both units are connected by hydrogen bonds. The polymeric compound 2 displays a one-dimensional chain structure, in which two [CaII(L)]2, units form a dimeric structure and are connected by hydrated CaII ions. 3 contains two different [GdIII(L)(OH2)n] dimers. In one of them the two GdIII ions are linked by two monoatomic carboxylate O-bridges showing a short Gd···Gd distance of 3.99 Å. In the second, a syn - anti carboxylate 1,3-bridge with a longer Gd···Gd distance of 4.96 Å is observed. Magnetic measurements of 3 show paramagnetic behaviour with weak antiferromagnetic coupling.

All copper(II) complexes were fully characterized by X-ray crystallography and by IR/far-IR, UV/Vis absorption, and ESR spectroscopy. Although the structure of 7 was not determined by X-ray crystallography, this complex and the structurally characterized copper(I) triphenylphosphane complex 8 were fully characterized by IR/far-IR and NMR spectroscopy. A comparison of the copper(II) complexes with two tris(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)amine ligands with different bulkiness of the pyrazolyl rings has allowed us to evaluate the second coordination sphere effects of the ligands. Moreover, the structures and physicochemical properties of these complexes are compared with those of related complexes containing the neutral tridentate tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligand and the neutral bidentate bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligand. Finally, the relative stability of the copper(I) complexes is discussed. The influence of the number of nitrogen donors in copper complexes is observed from these systematic results.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The three ligands differ from each other in the substitution of the pyridine pendant arm, namely they have a carboxylic acid, an ethylamide, or an ethyl ester substituent, i.e., these ligands are 6,6,,6,-[1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triyltris(methylene)]tris[pyridine-2-carboxylic acid] (H3tpatcn), -tris[pyridine-2-carboxamide] (tpatcnam), and -tris[pyridine-2-carboxylic acid] triethyl ester (tpatcnes) respectively. The quantum yields of both the europium(III) and terbium(III) emission, upon ligand excitation, were highly dependent upon ligand substitution, with a ca. 50-fold decrease for the carboxamide derivative in comparison to the picolinic acid (=pyridine-2-carboxylic acid) based ligand. Detailed analysis of the radiative rate constants and the energy of the triplet states for the three ligand systems revealed a less efficient energy transfer for the carboxamide-based systems. The stability of the three ligand systems in H2O was investigated. Although hydrolysis of the ethyl ester occurred in H2O for the [Ln(tpatcnes)](OTf)3 complexes, the tripositive [Ln(tpatcnam)](OTf)3 complexes and the neutral [Ln(tpatcn)] complexes showed high stability in H2O which makes them suitable for application in biological media. The [Tb(tpatcn)] complex formed easily in H2O and was thermodynamically stable at physiological pH (pTb 14.9), whereas the [Ln(tpatcnam)](OTf)3 complexes showed a very high kinetic stability in H2O, and once prepared in organic solvents, remained undissociated in H2O.

From the less soluble part, ,-[Co(H2L)][Sb2{(R,R)-tart}2]·4H2O (2) was isolated. Starting from 2, two optically active complexes, ,-[Co(H3L)](ClO4)3·1.5H2O (,- 1) and ,-[Co(L)] (,- 3), were obtained. The crystal structures of these complexes are compared with those of the racemic structures. ,- 1 shows an unusually strong circular dichroism (, = 488 nm, ,, = ,7.74 M,1,cm,1) in the first d,d absorption band region. The effects of deprotonation,reprotonation of the uncoordinated imidazole NH groups of ,-[Co(H3L)]3+ on the UV/Vis and CD spectra and on the cyclic voltammograms were studied in methanol. Although the deprotonation,reprotonation reactions are reversible, the redox couple for the completely deprotonated species [CoIII/II(L)]0/, is not observed. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Abstract Prominent donors: A pyridyl, an imidazolyl, and a pyrazolyl donor function are part of the novel tripodal ligand depicted, which thus combines three of the most prominent donors applied in ligands for bioinorganic chemistry within one coordination unit. To exploit its behaviour and potential, first investigations have been carried out in relation to catechol dioxygenase mimicry. We describe a novel chiral ligand, L, in which three different N -donor functions are linked to a methoxymethine unit: a methylpyrazole derivative, a methylimidazole unit, and a pyridyl residue. Complexes with FeCl2, FeBr2, and FeCl3 have been synthesized and fully characterized, including with respect to their molecular structures. While in combination with FeCl3L coordinates in a tripodal fashion, with FeX2 (X=Cl, Br) it binds only through two functions and the pyridyl unit remains dangling. For potential modelling of intradiol and extradiol catechol dioxygenase reactivity, the complexes [LFeCl2], 1, and [LFeCl3], 3, have been treated with 3,5-di- tert -butylcatechol, triethylamine, and O2. Both complexes yielded similar results in such investigations, since the LFeII,catecholate complex reacts with O2 through one-electron oxidation in the first step. Employing 3 in acetonitrile solution, intradiol cleavage occurred, although the undesired quinone was formed as the main product. If reagents were added (NaBPh4, H+) or reaction conditions were chosen (CH2Cl2 instead of CH3CN as the solvent) that made the coordination sphere at the iron centre more accessible for a third substrate donor function, an alternative reaction route, presumably involving O2 binding at the metal, became more important, which led to extradiol cleavage. In the extreme case (CH2Cl2 as the solvent and with the addition of NaBPh4), mainly the extradiol cleavage products were formed; the intradiol products were only observed as side products then and quinone formation became negligible. Protonated base functions in the second coordination sphere increased the efficiency of extradiol cleavage only slightly. The obtained results are in line with current understanding of the function of intradiol/extradiol dioxygenases.

[source] Synthesis of New Tripodal Tri-Functionalized Hydrotris(indazol-1-yl)borate Ligands and X-ray Structures of Their Cyclopentadieneruthenium ComplexesEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 5 2006Alexandre Carella Abstract Two new tripodal ligands designed to anchor complexes onto surfaces have been synthesized. They integrate ester or thioether functions at the 6-position of the indazoles. Potassium hydrotris[6-(ethoxycarbonyl)indazolyl]borate and potassium hydrotris{6-[(ethylsulfanyl)methyl]indazolyl}borate exhibit three pendant groups oriented to anchor complexes onto an oxide and a metallic surface, respectively. Their complexation with [RuCp(CH3CN)3]PF6 yielded two piano-stool-shaped complexes that were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Comparison with the synthesized unfunctionalized analog showed that the three 6-substituted functions do not interfere with the coordination site and are particularly well oriented for surface deposition.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006) [source] A New Synthesis of Charge-Neutral Tris-Pyrazolyl and -Methimazolyl Borate LigandsCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 9 2010Philip Abstract 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 ,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.
