Monomeric and Dimeric Copper(II) Complexes of a Pyrrole-Containing Tridentate Schiff-Base Ligand

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 19 2009

Abstract Three copper(II) complexes of (L1),, [CuL1Cl] (1), [CuL1Br]n (2) and [Cu2(L1)2(,1,3 -NCS)2] (3), and two copper(II) complexes of HL1, [Cu(HL1)X2] (X = Cl,, 4; X = Br,, 5), have been prepared and characterised [where HL1 is the Schiff-base ligand derived from pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde and 2-aminomethylpyridine]. The removal of a chloride ion and deprotonation of [Cu(HL1)Cl2] (4) to form [CuL1Cl] (1) worked well. However, attempts to protonate [CuL1Cl] with HCl to re-form [Cu(HL1)Cl2] were not successful. X-ray structure determinations revealed that 1 is a N3Cl-coordinated square-planar copper(II) monomer [CuL1Cl], whereas 3 is a doubly end-to-end thiocyanate-bridged square-pyramidal copper(II) dimer [Cu2(L1)2(,1,3 -NCS)2]. The structure determinations on 4 and 5 showed that in both cases the copper(II) ion is in a distorted square-planar N2X2 environment, with the pyrrole NH remaining non-deprotonated and uncoordinated. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility investigations carried out on the end-to-end thiocyanate doubly bridged square-pyramidal copper(II) dimer 3 showed that no magnetic coupling occurs between the two copper(II) ions; it exhibits Curie-like magnetic behaviour.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Abstract A dinuclear NiII complex, [Ni2(L)2(H2O)(NCS)2]·3H2O (1) in which the metal atoms are bridged by one water molecule and two ,2 -phenolate ions, and a thiocyanato-bridged dimeric CuII complex, [Cu(L)NCS]2 (2) [L = tridentate Schiff-base ligand, N -(3-aminopropyl)salicylaldimine, derived from 1:1 condensation of salicylaldehyde and 1,3-diaminopropane], have been synthesized and characterized by IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The structure of 1 consists of dinuclear units with crystallographic C2 symmetry in which each NiII atom is in a distorted octahedral environment. The Ni,O distance and the Ni,O,Ni angle, through the bridged water molecule, are 2.240(11) Å and 82.5(5)°, respectively. The structure of 2 consists of dinuclear units bridged asymmetrically by di-,1,3 -NCS ions; each CuII ion is in a square-pyramidal environment with , = 0.25. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies indicate the presence of dominant ferromagnetic exchange coupling in complex 1 with J = 3.1 cm,1, whereas complex 2 exhibits weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the CuII centers with J = ,1.7 cm,1.

Ethene Polymerization Behavior of MAO-Activated Dichloridotitanium Complexes Bearing Bi- and Tetradentate Salicylaldimine Derivatives

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2010
Antti Pärssinen
Abstract New chiral bridged tetradentate (N2O2)TiIVCl2 -type complexes bearing dimethylbiphenyl (1-Ti,3-Ti) and previously published binaphthyl-bridged (4-Ti) complex were synthesized with high yields. This was achieved by treating the corresponding Schiff-base ligand (H2L) precursors with Ti(NMe2)4, followed by conversion of these diamido complexes to LTiCl2 derivatives by the addition of excess of Me3SiCl. A series of unbridged titanium complexes 5-Ti,8-Ti with similar substituents at the phenoxy group were studied and their polymerization properties, after methylaluminoxane (MAO) activation, compared with the above bridged complexes. It was found that the catalysts bearing chiral tetradentate biaryl-bridged salicylaldimine ligands produce multimodal polyethylene (PE) with low activity [below 10 kgPE/(molTi,h,bar)] while their unbridged analogues provide activities that are 10,1000 times greater under similar reaction conditions. The reasons for this dramatic difference in polymerization activities are discussed based on the stabilities of the different cationic species configurations. [source]

Monomeric and Dimeric Copper(II) Complexes of a Pyrrole-Containing Tridentate Schiff-Base Ligand

Mixed-Ligand Oxidovanadium(V) Complexes with N, -Salicylidenehydrazides: Synthesis, Structure, and 51V Solid-State MAS NMR Investigation,

Abstract The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of a series of three oxidovanadium(V) complexes with 8-hydroxyquinoline and Schiff-base ligands derived from salicylaldehyde and ,-hydroxy-functionalized carbohydrazides with different chain lengths are reported. The complex with the hydrazone ligand containing the shortest chain length was crystallographically characterized. This complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with two structurally similar but crystallographically independent oxidovanadium(V) complexes. Each vanadium atom is six-coordinate in a distorted-octahedral geometry. The two molecules are assembled through hydrogen-bonding interactions between the hydroxyl groups of the side-chain substituted Schiff-base ligand and the oxido group of one of the two complexes. Electrochemical measurements performed in acetonitrile solution reveal two reversible one-electron reduction steps. The observed pre-wave feature of the second reduction step indicates the presence of dissociation equilibria related to the 8-hydroxyquinoline coligand. Magic-angle spinning solid-state 51V NMR spectroscopy allowed to characterize the full series of complexes with alkyl and hydroxy alkyl-substituted hydrazone ligands that were used. The quadrupolar coupling constants are small with a value of about 4 MHz and show little variation within the series. The asymmetry of the chemical shift tensor indicates a rather axial symmetric environment around the vanadium(V) center. The isotropic chemical shifts observed in the solid state occur at about 30 ppm, which is in the same order of magnitude as the solvent induced variations, about 10 ppm, found for different solvents.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Abstract A bent trinuclear copper(II) complex (1) incorporating ,-phenoxo, ,- syn - syn carboxylato, and ,3 -chloro bridges and an O,N,N -coordinated reduced Schiff-base ligand is reported. The complex shows an intramolecular ferromagnetic interaction in the solid state. The EPR spectra also support the magnetic behaviour of the complex. In the compound, each copper centre has a square-pyramidal geometry. The separation between the adjacent copper ions is about 3.05 Å and that between the terminal copper ions is about 5.0 Å. The complex forms a supramolecular architecture through N,H···Cl hydrogen bonding between the amine group of the reduced Schiff-base ligand and the counter chloride anions. Absorption and fluorescence spectral studies and viscosity measurements have been performed to determine the type of interaction with calf-thymus DNA. The nuclease activity of the complex with plasmid DNA is also studied. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006) [source]

Dinuclear Complexes of MII Thiocyanate (M = Ni and Cu) Containing a Tridentate Schiff-Base Ligand: Synthesis, Structural Diversity and Magnetic Properties

Mixed f-d Metallomesogens with an Extended Rigid Core

Abstract The liquid-crystalline behaviour of copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of a mesogenic Schiff-base ligand derived from N,N' -disalicylidene-1,2-phenylenediamine (salophenH2) and of the corresponding trinuclear mixed copper(II)/lanthanum(III) and nickel(II)/lanthanum(III) complexes was investigated. High-temperature X-ray diffraction studies revealed that both the parent transition metal complexes and the mixed f-d complexes exhibit a hexagonal columnar phase (Colh) over an extended temperature range. Complex formation with lanthanum(III) nitrate resulted in an increase of the transition temperatures. The geometrical parameters (lattice parameters and column cross-section) of all the metal complexes are very similar, which indicates that the local organisation in the mesophase is the same despite their structural differences.

Stepwise Assembly of Mixed Metal Dinuclear Carbonyl Complexes

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 21 2003
Katja Heinze
Abstract The one-pot/three-step solution synthesis of a library of nine directional, dinuclear mixed-metal complexes composed of different metal-carbonyl units (M = Cr, Mo, W) and a bifunctional bridging isocyanide Schiff-base ligand is described. The well-defined metal sequence in these complexes with Cr, Mo, and W in two positions can be determined post-synthesis by a combination of spectroscopic methods. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Adducts of Schiff Bases with Tris(,-diketonato)lanthanide(III) Complexes: Structure and Liquid-Crystalline Behaviour

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 16 2003
Koen Binnemans
Abstract Adducts of the Schiff base 2-hydroxy- N -octadecyloxy-4-tetradecyloxybenzaldimine with tris(,-dibenzoylmethanato)lanthanide(III) complexes are described. The stoichiometry of the complexes is [Ln(dbm)3Lx], where Ln is a trivalent lanthanide ion (all lanthanides except Ce and Pm), Hdbm is dibenzoylmethane and L is the Schiff base; x = 2 for Ln = La,Er and x = 1 for Ln = Tm,Lu. The Schiff-base ligands are in a zwitterionic form and coordinate through the phenolic oxygen only. The X-ray single-crystal structure of [La(dbm)3L,2] with L, = N -butyl-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldimine is described. The solution structure of lanthanum(III) complexes has been investigated by 1D and 2D 1H NMR techniques. Although the long-chain Schiff-base ligand and the tris(,-dibenzoylmethanato)lanthanide(III) complexes are non-mesomorphic, some of the adducts exhibit a monotropic smectic A phase. The mesomorphic behaviour depends on the lanthanide ion, in the sense that only a mesophase is observed for the series Ln = La,Eu, not for the heavier lanthanides. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Synthesis and magnetic properties of poly(p-phthaloyl-disacetylaceton-ethylenediimine) metal complexes,

POLYMERS FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, Issue 1 2002
Yun-Pu Wang
Abstract Macrocyclic Schiff-base ligand, bisacetylaceton-ethylenediimine (BAE) and its transition metal complexes M(BAE) (M,=,Cu2+, Ni2+) were synthesized. The complexes having characteristics of aromatic systems and well-defined one-dimensional structures, reacted with p-phthaloyl chloride, to obtain polymer complexes. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), FT-IR, and thermal analysis and show good thermal stability. ESR spectra analysis discovered that there are free radicals in the chain of polymers, indicating that a weak magnetic spin-exchange interaction operates between the metal ions and free radicals. It is found that, as the bridging p -phthaloyl group is able to propagate the magnetic exchange interaction, the polymer complexes show paramagnetic properties by measurement of temperature dependence of the magnetic property, and obey Curie,Weiss law.
