Diastereopure Cationic NCN-Pincer Palladium Complexes with Square Planar ,4 - N,C,N,O Coordination

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 22 2006

Abstract Neutral NCN-pincer palladium bromide complex 2 containing the monoanionic, enantiopure pincer ligand 2,6-bis{[(S)-2-hydroxymethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl]methyl}phenyl bromide (1) with bis- ortho -(S)-prolinol substituents was synthesized and isolated as a mixture of three stereoisomers [(SN,SN,SC,SC), (RN,SN,SC,SC), and (RN,RN,SC,SC)] in a 1:1:1 ratio. Upon abstraction of the bromide ion from the unresolved mixture of 2, single diastereoisomers of the cationic complexes [3]BF4 and [3]PF6, respectively, were formed with a unique,4 - N,C,N,O coordination mode of ligand 1. X-ray crystal structure determination established the intramolecular,4 - N,C,N,O coordination of 1 to palladium where the typical mer -,3 - N,C,N pincer coordination is accompanied by coordination of one of the hydroxy groups of the (S)-prolinol moieties. The water molecule that was cocrystallized in the crystal structure of [3]PF6 does not coordinate to palladium, but instead is involved in a hydrogen bonding network. The catalytic potential of both cationic complexes, [3]BF4 and [3]PF6, was tested in an aldol reaction of aldehydes with methyl isocyanoacetate to yield the oxazoline products as racemic mixtures.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Control of Intramolecular Ether-Oxygen Coordination in the Crystal Structure of Copper(II) Complexes With Dipicolylamine-Based Ligands

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2007
Yuji Mikata
Abstract Thirteen crystal structures of copper(II) complexes with a series of dipicolylamine (DPA)-derived ligands, N -(2-methoxyethyl)- N,N -bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (L1), N -[2-(2-hydroxyethyloxy)ethyl]- N,N -bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (L2) and N -(3-methoxypropyl)- N,N -bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (L3), have been determined and the factors that control the coordination of the ether-oxygen atom of these ligands to the copper centre are discussed. Complexes that have +1 or +2 charges exhibit coordination of the ether-oxygen atom, whereas neutral complexes in which two anions are bound to the copper(II) centre tend to lose the oxygen coordination. Upon chelation of the oxygen atom, L3 forms a six-membered chelate ring with respect to the 3-aminopropyl ether moiety whereas L1 and L2 form a five-membered chelate. This difference, especially in the nitrate and bromide complexes, determines whether the ether-oxygen atom chelates to the metal centre to give a monocationic complex, or the second anion coordinates to the metal centre to form the ether-free, neutral complex. The terminal anchor hydroxy group of L2 facilitates the ether-oxygen coordination via a hydrogen bond interaction to the donor atom located trans to the aliphatic nitrogen atom in the basal plane.

Copper(II) chloride and bromide complexes with 2-methyl-2H -tetrazol-5-amine: an X-ray powder diffraction study

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 4 2010

The complex catena -poly[[dibromidocopper(II)]-bis(,-2-methyl-2H -tetrazol-5-amine)-,2N4:N5;,2N5:N4], [CuBr2(C2H5N5)2]n, (I), and the isotypic chloride complex catena -poly[[dichloridocopper(II)]-bis(,-2-methyl-2H -tetrazol-5-amine)-,2N4:N5;,2N5:N4], [CuCl2(C2H5N5)2]n, (II), were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction at room temperature. The crystal structure of (I) was solved by direct methods, while the Rietveld refinement of (II) started from the atomic coordinates of (I). In both structures, the Cu atoms lie on inversion centres, adopting a distorted octahedral coordination of two halogen atoms, two tetrazole N atoms and two 5-amine group N atoms. Rather long Cu,Namine bonds allow consideration of the amine group as semi-coordinated. The compounds are one-dimensional coordination polymers, formed as a result of 2-methyl-2H -tetrazol-5-amine ligands bridging via a tetrazole N atom and the amine N atom. In the polymeric chains, adjacent Cu atoms are connected by two such bridges. [source]


Protonated Macrobicyclic Hosts Containing Pyridine Head Units for Anion Recognition

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 19 2008
David Esteban-Gómez Dr.
Abstract In this paper, we report two macrobicyclic receptors containing pyridine head units derived from 1,10-diaza-15-crown[5] (L1) or 4,13-diaza-18-crown[6] (L2) that can be protonated in MeCN and used for anion recognition. The interaction of these protonated lateral macrobicycles with different anions has been investigated by means of spectrophotometric titrations in MeCN. The association constants for the complexes of halide anions with the protonated macrobicycles follow the sequences Cl,>Br,>I,>F, (L1) and Cl,>F,>I,>Br, (L2), whereby an increase of more than two logarithmic units is observed from F, to Cl, for the binding constants of the receptor derived from L1. The association constants also indicate an important degree of selectivity of these macrobicyclic receptors for Cl, over Br, or I,. The X-ray crystal structure analyses of the chloride and bromide complexes confirms the formation of the envisaged supramolecular complexes. Moreover, the binding constants indicate that these receptors present a high sulfate-to-nitrate binding selectivity. The stability trend observed for the recognition of halide anions by the macrobicycles presented herein as well as the sulfate-to-nitrate binding selectivity have been rationalised by means of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ level. These studies indicate that the especially high binding selectivity for Cl, is the result of the optimum fit between the protonated macrobicyclic cavity and the size of the anion, whereas the sulfate-to-nitrate selectivity results from shape complementarity between the hydrogen-binding acceptor sites on sulfate and the hydrogen-bond donors of the macrobicycle.
