Unprecedented reactivity of a Schiff base ligand in the co-ordination sphere of copper(I) complex towards β-diketones. Synthesis and X-ray characterisation of a new copper(I) complex
International audience; The reactions of the copper(I) derivative [CuL(THF)(CH3CN)]PF6 (1), in which L is the di-imine/pyridine ligand 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine, with different β-diketones (2,4-pentanedione (acacH), 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione (dbm)) yielded the new Cu(I) salt [CuL′2]PF6 (2) (L′: 2-[acetyl]-6-[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine). These reactions of β-diketones with a di-imine/pyridine ligand co-ordinated to a Cu(I) centre constitute the first example of a partial hydrolysis of such a Schiff base within the inner sphere of a Cu centre. Compound 2·acaH has been characterised by X-ray crystallography. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ…
Quadruply-bonded dimolybdenum compounds: Reactivity towards TCNE. Structural evidences for the 1-D polymer [Mo2(O2 CCF3)4(TCNE)]∞
cited By 3; International audience; Reaction of [Mo2(O2CR)4] (R = CF 3, 1) with TCNE in toluene affords the new compound [Mo2(O2CCF3)4 (TCNE)·6H5CH3 (2). The structure of 2 is built on [Mo2(O2 CCF3)4] fragments having the usual paddlewheel structure of 1 (Mo-Mo 2.1117(8) Å) and TCNE units. Each polynitrile moiety acts as a bridging ligand between two Mo2 fragments (Mo-N 2.875(4) Å) affording 1-D polymeric chains crossing in the crystal; the toluene molecules occupy the cavities between the chains. 13C NMR, IR and electrochemical data clearly show that formation of 2 does not involve electron density transfer from dimolybdenum fragment to the TCNE unit, which remains in 2 in its neutral stat…
Unexpected behaviour of copper(I) towards a tridentate Schiff base: Synthesis, structure and properties of new Cu(I)-Cu(II) and Cu(II) complexes
cited By 17; International audience; The reaction of CuBr with 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine L afforded a new Cu(I)-Cu(II) derivative [CuBrL]2[Cu2Br4] (1), while the reaction of [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 with L in THF yielded the new Cu(I) compound CuL(THF)(CH3CN)PF6 (2). Derivative 2 further reacted with halogenated solvents to yield halogeno-Cu(II) salts, [CuClL]PF6 (3) using CHCl3 and [CuBrL]Br3 (4) using CHBr3. Compounds 1, 3 and 4 have been fully characterised by X-ray crystallography; they contain essentially similar [CuXL]+ cations with a square planar copper(II) co-ordination. However, the structure of compound 1 must be viewed as built of tetranuclear units since two […
Carbonylmolybdenum complexes with di(imino)pyridine and related ligands: Reduction of a di(imino)pyridine to an aminoiminopyridine system under mild conditions
Abstract The reactions of [Mo(CO) 6 ] towards a 2,6-di(imino)pyridine L 1 and related ligands were studied. The reaction with L 1 afforded two new complexes, [Mo(CO) 4 L 1 ] ( 1 ) and [Mo(CO) 4 L 2 ] ( 2 ), where L 2 is the 2-amino-6-iminopyridine ligand arising from the hydrogenation of one imine function of L 1 ; similar reaction with a 2-acetyl-6-iminopyridine ligand L 3 afforded [Mo(CO) 4 L 3 ] ( 3 ). Compounds 1 , 2 and 3 have been fully characterised by IR, 1 H NMR and X-ray crystallography; they present a metal ion in a pseudo-octahedral environment, the three organic ligands acting with bidentate N 2 coordination modes. One of the imine functions in 1 , the amine function in 2 , and…
