Coordination Modes (coordination + mode)
Kinds of Coordination Modes Selected AbstractsSelf-Assembled Lanthanide Salicylaldimines with a Unique Coordination ModeEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 14 2010gorzata T. Kaczmarek Abstract New lanthanide salicylaldimine complexes of the formula [Ln(H2L)3(NO3)3](H2L), where Ln = La3+ (1), Nd3+ (2), Eu3+ (3), Gd3+ (4), Ho3+ (5), Er3+ (6), Tb3+ (7) or Yb3+ (8), and H2L = N,N,-bis(salicylidene)-4-methyl-1,3-phenylenediamine, were formed in a self-assembly process involving the lanthanide template-induced one-step [2+1] Schiff base condensation reaction between salicylaldehyde and 4-methyl-1,3-phenylenediamine. The unusual coordination pattern of salen-type ligands in these complexes, in which the three potentially tetradentate N2O2 salicylaldimines function as undeprotonated, monodentate, exclusively O-donor ligands without involving the nitrogen atoms in the coordination environment, was proved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and correlated with spectroscopic characterization. In this species with the nine-coordinate distorted tricapped trigonal prism geometry, the nitrates act as bidentate chelators occupying six coordination sites and leaving the remaining sites available for salicylaldimine ligands formed in situ in the template process. The additional salicylaldimine molecule acts as a guest for the salicylaldimine complex host and stabilizes the overall self-assembled supramolecular network.

[source] Variable Coordination Modes of Benzaldehyde Thiosemicarbazones , Synthesis, Structure, and Electrochemical Properties of Some Ruthenium ComplexesEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 29 2008Swati Dutta Abstract Reaction of benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazones [H2LR, where H2 stands for the two protons, the hydrazinic proton, and the phenyl proton at the ortho position, with respect to the imine function and R (R = OCH3, CH3, H, Cl, and NO2) for the para substituent] with [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)2Cl2], carried out in refluxing ethanol, afforded monomeric complexes of type [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)(HLR)(H)]. The crystal structure of the [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)(HLNO2)(H)] complex was determined. The thiosemicarbazone ligand is coordinated to the ruthenium center as a bidentate N,S-donor ligand forming a four-membered chelate ring. When the reaction of the thiosemicarbazones with [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)2Cl2] was carried out in refluxing toluene, a family of dimeric complexes of type [Ru2(PPh3)2(CO)2(LR)2] were obtained. The crystal structure of [Ru2(PPh3)2(CO)2(LCl)2] was determined. Each thiosemicarbazone ligand is coordinated to one ruthenium atom, by dissociation of the two protons, as a dianionic tridentate C,N,S-donor ligand, and at the same time the sulfur atom is also bonded to the second ruthenium center. 1H NMR spectra of the complexes of both types are in excellent agreement with their compositions. All the dimeric and monomeric complexes are diamagnetic (low-spin d6, S = 0) and show intense absorptions in the visible and ultraviolet regions. Cyclic voltammetry of the [Ru(PPh3)2(CO)(HLR)(H)] and [Ru2(PPh3)2(CO)2(LR)2] complexes show the ruthenium(II),ruthenium(III) oxidation within 0.48,0.73 V vs. SCE followed by a ruthenium(III),ruthenium(IV) oxidation within 1.09,1.47 V vs. SCE. Potentials of both the oxidations are found to correlate linearly with the electron-withdrawing character of the substituent R. (© 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.

Small amounts of a mono(adduct) cis -[PtL2(S)(9-MeAd)]2+ (3) (S = solvent) and of a diplatinated species cis -[L2Pt(S){9-MeAd(,H)}PtL2]3+ (4) are formed in DMSO solution when 9-MeAd is present in smaller quantities than 1. Complex 3 is platinated at N1, with a solvent molecule representing the fourth ligand around the metal center. Complex 4 contains an adenine molecule deprotonated and platinated at N1,N6,N7, with two cis -L2Pt units bonded to nitrogen atom N1 and to nitrogen atoms N6 and N7, respectively. With increasing relative concentration of the nucleobase, both complexes 3 and 4 progressively convert into the bis(adduct) 2, the only species detectable in solution when the Ad/Pt molar ratio is 2:1. The trinuclear compound cis -[L2Pt{9-MeAd(,H)}]3(NO3)3 (5) (L = PMe2Ph), containing an NH2 -deprotonated nucleobase bridging the metal centers through the N1 and N6 atoms, is quantitatively formed when the dinuclear hydroxo complex cis -[Pt(,-OH)L2]2(NO3)2 (6) reacts with 9-MeAd in CH3CN solution. The isolated complex was fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. It appears to be stable in solution in CH3CN and chlorinated solvents, whereas in DMSO it partially converts into a new species, probably the dinuclear analog cis -[PtL2{9-MeAd(,H)}]2(NO3)2, in which the adenine maintains its coordination mode. At equilibrium the trinuclear/dinuclear species molar ratio is 20:1. Through the addition of a stoichiometric amount of nitrate 1 to a DMSO solution of 5 we were able to generate the diplatinated compound 4 in high yield. Complex 4 displays a new coordination mode for the adeninate ion, with N1 bonded to one platinum atom whereas N6 and N7 are chelated to a second one. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

[source] The Diversity of Difluoroacetylene Coordination Modes Obtained by Coupling Fluorocarbyne Ligands on Binuclear Manganese Carbonyl SitesCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 22 2009Xian-mei Liu Abstract One Mn or two? The fluorocarbyne manganese carbonyl complexes [Mn(CF)(CO)n] (n=3,,4) and [Mn2(CF)2(CO)n] (n=4,7; see picture) have been investigated by density functional theory. In mononuclear complexes the CF ligand behaves very much like the NO ligand in terms of ,-acceptor strength. In binuclear complexes the two CF ligands couple in many of the low-energy structures to form a bridging C2F2 ligand derived from difluoroacetylene. Recent work has shown that the fluorocarbyne ligand CF, isoelectronic with the NO ligand, can be generated by the defluorination of CF3 metal complexes, as illustrated by the 2006 synthesis by Hughes et,al. of [C5H5Mo(CF)(CO)2] in good yield by the defluorination of [C5H5Mo(CF3)(CO)3]. The fluorocarbyne ligand has now been investigated as a ligand in the manganese carbonyl complexes [Mn(CF)(CO)n] (n=3,,4) and [Mn2(CF)2(CO)n] (n=4,7) by using density functional theory. In mononuclear complexes, such as [Mn(CF)(CO)4], the CF ligand behaves very much like the NO ligand in terms of ,-acceptor strength. However, in the binuclear complexes the two CF ligands couple in many of the low-energy structures to form a bridging C2F2 ligand derived, at least formally, from difluoroacetylene, FCCF. The geometries of such [Mn2(C2F2)(CO)n] complexes suggest several different bonding modes of the bridging C2F2 unit. These include bonding through the orthogonal ,,bonds of FCCF, similar to the well-known [R2C2Co2(CO)6] complexes, or bonding of the C2F2 unit as a symmetrical or unsymmetrical biscarbene. This research suggests that fluorocarbyne metal chemistry can serve as a means for obtaining a variety of difluoroacetylene metal complexes, thereby avoiding the need for synthesizing and handling the very unstable difluoroacetylene. [source] Energetic and topological analysis of the reaction of Mo and Mo2 with NH3, C2H2, and C2H4 moleculesJOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Issue 13 2004Maria Del Carmen Michelini Abstract The Density functional theory has been applied to characterize the structural features of Mo1,2NH3,C2H4, and C2H2 compounds. Coordination modes, geometrical structures, and binding energies have been calculated for several spin multiplets. It has been shown that in contrast to the conserved spin cases (Mo1,2NH3), the interaction between Mo (or Mo2) and C2H4 (or C2H2) are the low-spin (MoC2H4 and C2H2) and high-spin (Mo2C2H4 and C2H2) complexes. In the ground state of Mo1,2C2H4 and C2H2, the metal-center always reacts with the CC center. The spontaneous formation of the global minima is found to be possible due to the crossing between the potential energy surfaces (ground and excited states with respect to the metallic center). The bonding characterization has been performed using the topological analysis of the Electron Localization Function. It has been shown that the most stable electronic structure for a ,-acceptor ligand correlates with a maximum charge transfer from the metal center to the CC bond of the unsaturated hydrocarbons, resulting in the formation of two new basins located on the carbon atoms (away from hydrogen atoms) and the reduction of the number of attractors of the CC basin. The interaction between Mo1,2 and C2H4 (or C2H2) should be considered as a chemical reaction, which causes the multiplicity change. Contrarily, there is no charge transfer between Mo1,2 and NH3, and the partners are bound by an electrostatic interaction. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

R. Chesman Abstract Ligands resulting from the transition-metal-promoted nucleophilic addition of water or an alcohol to dicyanonitrosomethanide ions (dcnm) have been utilised in the formation of a large series of polynuclear complexes. Addition of water to dcnm results in formation of carbamoylcyanonitrosomethanide (ccnm); deprotonation of this ligand gives amidocarbonyl(cyano)nitrosomethanide (acnm), which has been incorporated into the trinuclear complex [Cu3(acnm)2(dmae)2(H2O)2] [dmae = 2-(dimethylamino)ethoxide] (1) which shows strong antiferromagnetic coupling with an exchange coupling constant, J = ,500 cm,1. [Cu(acnm)(NH3)2], (2) marks the first instance of acnm facilitating the formation of a coordination polymer, namely a 1D chain with intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Attempts to synthesise 2 through different reaction conditions instead resulted in the mononuclear [Cu(acnm)(NH3)2(py)] (py = pyridine) (3). The addition of ethanol to dcnm results in cyano[imino(ethoxy)methyl]nitrosomethanide (cenm) which features in the mononuclear [Cu(cenm)2(H2O)2] (4) and polymeric {[Cu(cenm)2]2·H2O}, (5). The latter is the first example of the cenm ligand in a coordination polymer and has a highly unusual coordination mode through the nitrile groups and extremely weak antiferromagnetic coupling. {[Mn3(ccnm)2(EtOH)2(OAc)4]·2EtOH}, (6) and (Et4N)2[Cu(ccnm)4] (7) contain previously unobserved coordination modes of the ccnm ligand while the complex [Mn(cmnm)3Mn(bipy)(MeOH)](ClO4) (8) {cmnm = cyano[imino(methoxy)methyl]nitrosomethanide, bipy = 2,2,-bipyridine} displays weak antiferromagnetic coupling between manganese atoms with J = ,1.44 cm,1. A change in the solvent systems used in the synthesis of 7 results in the formation of the mononuclear complexes [Mn(bipy)2(dcnm)2] (9) or [Mn(bipy)2(H2O)(dcnm)](dcnm)·H2O (10) and [Mn(bipy)2(dcnm)(H2O)](dcnm) (11). The addition of ethlyene glycol monomethyl ether to dcnm gives cyano[imino(2-methoxyethoxy)methyl]nitrosomethanide (cgnm) and the formation of [Cu(cgnm)2(H2O)2] (12). [source] Single End-to-End Azidocopper(II) Chain Based on an Electroactive Ligand: A Structural, Electrochemical, Magnetic and Ab Initio StudyEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 31 2009Guillaume Pilet Abstract By combining azide and the (Z)-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-(quinolin-8-ylamino)but-3-en-2-one enaminone ligand, HL, an azido-bridged copper(II) one dimensional polymer was synthesized in a one-pot reaction. The solved and refined crystal structure evidenced the unusual single and asymmetric end-to-end coordination mode of the azide ion. The redox properties of this complex were studied by cyclic voltammetry, andoxidation of the azido bridge was evidenced. Magneticmeasurements, combined with magnetostructural-driven analysis revealed a weak ferromagnetic interaction between the copper(II) ions within the N3, -bridged chains, complemented by an antiferromagnetic interaction between the chains mediated by ,,, interactions. A survey of the scarce literature of single end-to-end azido bridges, associated with quantum chemical ab initio calculations, was carried out to tentatively identify the relevant parameters driving the weak intrachain exchange interaction.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009) [source] Synthesis, Protonation and CuII Complexes of Two Novel Isomeric Pentaazacyclophane Ligands: Potentiometric, DFT, Kinetic and AMP Recognition StudiesEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2009Andrés G. Algarra Abstract The synthesis and coordination chemistry of two novel ligands, 2,6,9,12,16-pentaaza[17]metacyclophane (L1) and 2,6,9,12,16-pentaaza[17]paracyclophane (L2), is described. Potentiometric studies indicate that L1 and L2 form a variety of mononuclear complexes the stability constants of which reveal a change in the denticity of the ligand when moving from L1 to L2, a behaviour that can be qualitatively explained by the inability of the paracyclophanes to simultaneously use both benzylic nitrogen atoms for coordination to a single metal centre. In contrast, the formation of dinuclear hydroxylated complexes is more favoured for the paraL2 ligand. DFT calculations have been carried out to compare the geometries and relative energies of isomeric forms of the [CuL]2+ complexes of L1 and L2 in which the cyclophane acts either as tri- or tetradentate. The results indicate that the energy cost associated with a change in the coordination mode of the cyclophane from tri- to tetradentate is moderate for both ligands so that the actual coordination mode can be determined not only by the characteristics of the first coordination sphere but also by the specific interactions with additional nearby water molecules. The kinetics of the acid promoted decomposition of the mono- and dinuclear CuII complexes of both cyclophanes have also been studied. For both ligands, dinuclear complexes convert rapidly to mononuclear species upon addition of excess acid, the release of the first metal ion occurring within the mixing time of the stopped-flow instrument. Decomposition of the mononuclear [CuL2]2+ and [CuHL2]3+ species occurs with the same kinetics, thus showing that protonation of [CuL2]2+ occurs at an uncoordinated amine group. In contrast, the [CuL1]2+ and [CuHL1]3+ species show different decomposition kinetics indicating the existence of significant structural reorganisation upon protonation of the [CuL1]2+ species. The interaction of AMP with the protonated forms of the cyclophanes and the formation of mixed complexes in the systems Cu,L1 -AMP, Cu,L2 -AMP, and Cu,L3 -AMP, where L3 is the related pyridinophane containing the same polyamine chain and 2,6-dimethylpyridine as a spacer, is also reported.

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.

Ikotun Abstract The reaction in water of CoII sulfate heptahydrate with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and sodium pyrophosphate (Na4P2O7) in a 2:4:1 stoichiometric ratio resulted in the crystallization of a neutral dinuclear CoII complex, {[Co(phen)2]2(,-P2O7)}·6MeOH (1), as revealed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The bridging pyrophosphato ligand between the two [Co(phen)2]2+ units in a bis(bidentate) coordination mode places the adjacent metal centers at 4.857 Å distance, and its conformation gives rise to intramolecular ,,, stacking interaction between adjacent phen ligands. Indeed, intermolecular ,,, stacking interactions between phen ligands from adjacent dinuclear complexes create a supramolecular 2D network in 1. Magnetic susceptibility measurements on a polycrystalline sample of 1 in the temperature range 1.9,295 K are typical of an overall antiferromagnetic coupling with a maximum of the magnetic susceptibility at 3.0 K. The analysis of the magnetic data in the whole temperature range allows the determination of the value of the intramolecular magnetic coupling (J = ,1.23 cm,1). The ability of the pyrophosphato ligand to mediate magnetic interactions between different first-row transition-metal ions when adopting the bis(bidentate) bridging mode is analyzed and discussed in the light of the small number of magneto-structural reports on this type of compound, bearing in mind the number of unpaired electrons and type of magnetic orbitals on each metal center.

In the complexes [Ru2{,-O2CC(Me)=CHEt}4(OCN)]n (1) and {[Ru2(,-O2CMe)4][Ag(OCN)2]}n (2) an infrequent ,1,1 - O coordination mode of the OCN, ligand is observed. In addition, the formation of a Ag,OCN bond instead of the Ag,NCO coordination mode, which is more usual, is noteworthy in complex 2. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Its structure can be described as an octahedron cage with D2h symmetry in which six copper ions are bound by eight threoninato acids with a [3.11223130] coordination mode and one Na+ cation being captured within the center of the cage. In contrast with other hexanuclear copper compounds containing amino acids, the title compound has a prolate Cu6 octahedron with the longest axial distance and a rectangle equatorial plane, as well as special coordinated perchlorate ions. Compared with classic cryptate, hexanuclear copper(II) compounds with amino acids can be regarded as a new topologic type of spherical macrotricyclic metallacryptates [2,2,2,2] whose cages have a high selectivity for sodium ions. The analysis of magnetic susceptibility data shows that the threoninato compound has a ground state with spin S = 3. The computing coupling constant between the equatorial Cu centers and the axial ones is 4.4 cm,1,calculated by using DFT methods for a model compound. This is close to three known experimental values of 1.39, 0.56 or 0.43 cm,1 for complexes with 4-hydroxy- L -prolinato, L -prolinato or L -threoninato acid as ligands, respectively. The dominant ferromagnetic interactions for these complexes can be essentially attributed to the orthogonality between the magnetic orbitals, dxz or dyz orbitals for the equatorial CuII centers and d orbitals for the axial ones.

Complex 1 is a 1D double-bridged chain in which the LaIII ions are ten-coordinate and the L ligands adopt both meso and rac configurations, and a bis-monodentate bridging coordination mode. While complexes 2,4 have isostructural dinuclear structures, in which the LnIII ions are nine-coordinate and the ligands show two types of coordination fashions and configurations: bis-monodentate bridging with a meso -configuration, and monodentate coordination with a rac -configuration. The structural differences between 1 and 2,4 indicate the influence of lanthanide contraction on the complex structures. In addition, a change in configuration of the ligand occurs when it reacts with metal ions. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Böttger Abstract The solid-state structures of two new homodinuclear chelate complexes with the late lanthanide(III) ions Yb and Lu, [Na2(Yb2OHEC)].14.5H2O (1), and [Na2(Lu2OHEC)].14.5H2O (2) (H8OHEC = 1,4,7,10,14,17,20,23-octaazacyclohexacosane- 1,4,7,10,14,17,20,23-octaacetic acid), have been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Each lanthanide(III) ion is coordinated by eight donor atoms of the ligand and the geometry of the coordination polyhedron approaches a bicapped trigonal prism. These structures are compared with those of the homodinuclear chelate complexes with the same ligand and the mid to early lanthanide(III) ions Gd, Eu, La and also Y. A distinctive structural change occurs across the lanthanide series. The centrosymmetric mid to early lanthanide(III) complexes are all ninefold-coordinated in a capped square antiprismatic arrangement with a water molecule coordinated in a prismatic position. This structure is maintained in aqueous solution, together with an asymmetric minor isomer. The late lanthanide(III) OHEC complexes not only lack the inner-sphere water, but the change of coordination sphere also results in a loss of symmetry of the whole complex molecule. The observed change of coordination mode and number of the lanthanide ion may offer a geometric model for the isomerization process in eight- and ninefold-coordinated complex species that are isomers in a possible coordination equilibrium observed by NMR in aqueous solution. This model may also explain the intramolecular rearrangements necessary during water exchange in the inner coordination sphere of the complex [(Gd2OHEC)(H2O)2]2, through a slow dissociative mechanism. Protonation constants of the H8OHEC ligand and complex formation constants of this ligand with GdIII, CaII, CuII and ZnII have been determined by solution thermodynamic studies.

These complexes contain ,6 -18-crown-6 and terminal ,2 -pyrazolato ligands, and constitute the first examples of group 1 metal complexes with this pyrazolato ligand coordination mode. In contrast to [K(,2 -3,5-Ph2pz)(,6 -18-crown-6)] and [K(,2 -3,5- tBu2pz)(,6 -18-crown-6)], the aqua complex [K(,2 -3,5-Me2pz)(H2O)(,6 -18-crown-6)] was obtained when 3,5-dimethylpyrazole was treated with potassium hydride and 18-crown-6 in the presence of a small amount of water. [K(,2 -3,5-Me2pz)(H2O)(,6 -18-crown-6)] contains an ,2 -pyrazolato ligand that is bent towards being co-facial with the best plane of the 18-crown-6 ligand, to allow hydrogen bonding between the pyrazolato ligand nitrogen atoms and the coordinated aqua ligand. The hydrogen bonding thus confers a novel terminal ,-facial ,2 -bonding mode to the pyrazolato ligand. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.

Small amounts of a mono(adduct) cis -[PtL2(S)(9-MeAd)]2+ (3) (S = solvent) and of a diplatinated species cis -[L2Pt(S){9-MeAd(,H)}PtL2]3+ (4) are formed in DMSO solution when 9-MeAd is present in smaller quantities than 1. Complex 3 is platinated at N1, with a solvent molecule representing the fourth ligand around the metal center. Complex 4 contains an adenine molecule deprotonated and platinated at N1,N6,N7, with two cis -L2Pt units bonded to nitrogen atom N1 and to nitrogen atoms N6 and N7, respectively. With increasing relative concentration of the nucleobase, both complexes 3 and 4 progressively convert into the bis(adduct) 2, the only species detectable in solution when the Ad/Pt molar ratio is 2:1. The trinuclear compound cis -[L2Pt{9-MeAd(,H)}]3(NO3)3 (5) (L = PMe2Ph), containing an NH2 -deprotonated nucleobase bridging the metal centers through the N1 and N6 atoms, is quantitatively formed when the dinuclear hydroxo complex cis -[Pt(,-OH)L2]2(NO3)2 (6) reacts with 9-MeAd in CH3CN solution. The isolated complex was fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. It appears to be stable in solution in CH3CN and chlorinated solvents, whereas in DMSO it partially converts into a new species, probably the dinuclear analog cis -[PtL2{9-MeAd(,H)}]2(NO3)2, in which the adenine maintains its coordination mode. At equilibrium the trinuclear/dinuclear species molar ratio is 20:1. Through the addition of a stoichiometric amount of nitrate 1 to a DMSO solution of 5 we were able to generate the diplatinated compound 4 in high yield. Complex 4 displays a new coordination mode for the adeninate ion, with N1 bonded to one platinum atom whereas N6 and N7 are chelated to a second one. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The ligand L exhibited a coordination mode involving the O-atom of only one OH group, the other one being directed away from the metal center. The complexes [Cu(Hbimedol)(en)]Cl (1), [Cu(Hbimedol)(phen)]Cl (2), [Co(Hbimedol)(phen)]Cl (3), [Ni(Hbimedol)(en)]Cl (4), and [Ni(Hbimedol)(phen)]Cl (5) were ionic in nature and stable at room temperature. The donor sets involved in coordination with the metal ions were the O-atom of one OH group and two N-atoms of the two benzimidazole moieties, besides the two N-atoms of phen or en (Fig.,1.). The proposed five-coordinate geometry of 1,5 was established by analysis of spectroscopic data; the ball-and-stick models supported the proposed structures of 1,5 since they showed apparently no strain on any bond and angle. The interaction of complexes 1 and 2 with calf-thymus DNA were carried out by UV/VIS titration, circular dichroism, electrochemical methods, and viscometry. The intrinsic binding constant Kb of 1 and 2 was determined as 1.57,104 and 1.51,104,M,1, respectively, suggesting that both complexes bind strongly to calf-thymus DNA. [source] The twinned crystal structure of tripotassium benzene-1,3,5-tris(trifluoroborate)ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 6 2010Daniel Franz The title compound, 3K+·C6H3B3F93,, crystallizes as discrete anions and cations which are connected by K...F and K..., interactions. Two of the ,BF3 residues attached to the aromatic ring adopt a conformation with all F atoms out of the plane of the aromatic ring, whereas the third residue has an almost synperiplanar conformation for one of the F,B,C,C torsion angles. It is remarkable that only one of the K+ cations interacts with the arene ring and that only one side of the aromatic ring coordinates to a K+ cation. As a result, a sandwich structure does not occur. All K+ ions show a coordination mode that cannot be conveniently described with a polyhedron. The anions are located in the (102) planes with the K+ cations located between these planes. The investigated crystal was a nonmerohedral twin with the fractional contribution of the minor twin component being 0.405,(4). The title compound is the first example of a structure containing a benzene ring substituted with three ,BF3 groups. Only eight other structures have been reported in which a benzene ring carries at least one ,BF3 group. Just five of these contain a K+ ion, but in none of these is the K+ ion coordinated to the aromatic ring.

The structures of complexes (I) and (II) are mainly directed by the steric properties of the ligands. In (I), the L1 ligand is bisected by a twofold rotation axis running through the amine N atom and opposite C atoms of the pyrimidine ring. The thiocyanate anion adopts the rare ,3 -,3S coordination mode to link three tetrahedrally coordinated AgI ions into a two-dimensional honeycomb-like 63 net. The L1 ligands further extend the two-dimensional sheet to form a three-dimensional framework by bridging AgI ions in adjacent layers. In (II), with three formula units in the asymmetric unit, the L2 ligand bonds to a single AgI ion in a monodentate fashion, while the thiocyanate anions adopt a ,3 -,1N,,2S coordination mode to link the AgL2 subunits to form two-dimensional sheets. These layers are linked by N,H...N hydrogen bonds between the noncoordinated amino H atoms and both thiocyanate and pyrimidine N atoms.

The CoII ion is octahedrally coordinated by two 6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylate ligands in axial positions [Co,O = 2.0621,(9),Å] and by four water molecules in the equatorial plane [Co,O = 2.1169,(9) and 2.1223,(11),Å]. There are also four uncoordinated water molecules. The 6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylate ligands are bound to the CoII ion in a monodentate manner through a carboxylate O atom. There is one strong intramolecular O,H...O hydrogen bond, and six strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds of type O,H...O and one of type O,H...N in the packing, resulting in a complex three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
