Effect of temperature and ligand protonation on the electronic ground state in Cu( ii ) polymers having unusual secondary interactions: a magnetic and catechol oxidase study

International audience; Two new copper(II) polymeric complexes, {[Cu(HPymat)(H2O)](NO3)}n (1) and [Cu2(Pymat)2(H2O)3]n (2), have been synthesized using the Schiff base ligand H2Pymat [H2Pymat = (E)-2-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)-methyleneamino)terephthalic acid]. Complex 1 is a cationic 1D polymer, whereas complex 2 is a two dimensional polymer. Both complexes were crystallographically, spectroscopically and magnetically characterized. Theoretical studies were performed and the catecholase activity of the complexes was also examined. Complex 1 is a ferromagnetically coupled complex with J = 2.8 cm−1 and 2 shows antiferromagnetic coupling with J = −1.6 cm−1. Both complexes show notable features in the …

A ferromagnetically coupled single hydroxido bridged tetranuclear nickel(II) Schiff base complex incorporating a Ni4O4 cubane core: Crystal structure and magnetic study

Abstract The new tetranuclear nickel(II) complex [Ni4(OH)(L)(HL)2(CH3OH)1.5(H2O)1.5]·9H2O (1) has been synthesised by the reaction of NiCl2·6H2O and the Schiff base ligand H3L (H3L = (CH3O)(OH)C6H3CH N–C(CH3)(CH2OH)2), prepared by the 1:1 condensation of 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and o-vanillin, and characterized by different physicochemical methods. Single crystal X-ray structural determination identifies a Ni4O4 cubane moiety as the central part of the complex unit. The presence of a single μ3-hydroxido bridged oxygen occupying only one vertex of the Ni4O4 cubane core is rare in Ni4O4 cubanes (ca. 5% of occurrence). Structural analysis also reveals two similar alkoxido oxygen atoms…

Preferential azido bridging regulating the structural aspects in cobalt(III) and copper(II)–Schiff base complexes: Syntheses, magnetostructural correlations and catalytic studies

International audience; A tridentate NNO donor Schiff base ligand [(1Z,3E)-3-((pyridin-2-yl)methylimino)-1-phenylbut-1-en-1-ol = LH] in presence of azide ions coordinates with cobalt(II) and copper(II) ions giving rise to three new coordination complexes [Co2(L)2(μ1,1-N3)2(N3)2] (1), [Cu2(L)2(μ1,3-N3)]·ClO4 (2) and [(μ1,1-N3)2Cu5(μ-OL)2(μ1,1-N3)4(μ1,1,1-N3)2]n (3). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis spectral studies, and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. These complexes demonstrate that under different synthetic conditions the azide ions and the Schiff base ligand (LH) show different coordination modes with cobalt(II) and copper(II) ions, givi…

Isolation of Four New CoII/CoIII and NiII Complexes with a Pentadentate Schiff Base Ligand: Syntheses, Structural Descriptions and Magnetic Studies

In this paper we report the temperature and pH dependent syntheses and systematic characterization of four new Co(II)/Co(III) and Ni(II) complexes with a pentadentate Schiff base ligand H(3)L obtained by condensing 1,3,-diaminopropan-2-ol with 2-hydroxyacetophenone in 1:2 molar ratio. The room temperature syntheses involving Co(II) and Ni(II) nitrates and the ligand H(3)L lead to the isolation of the dinuclear species [Co(2)L(2)(H(2)O)] (1), and the mononuclear complex [Ni(LH)] (3), respectively, whereas refluxing at basic pH leads to the tetranuclear complexes, [Co(II)(2)Co(III)(2)L(2)(μ(3)-OMe)(2)(NO(3))(H(2)O)(2)]NO(3)·2(H(2)O) (2), and [Ni(4)L(2)(μ(3)-OMe)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O (4). 1 is…

An unprecedented CuII–Schiff base complex existing as two different trinuclear units with strong antiferromagnetic couplings

Abstract A new tetradentate N 2 O 2 donor Schiff base ligand [OHC 6 H 4 CH NCH 2 CH 2 CH(CH 2 CH 3 )N CHC 6 H 4 OH =  H 2 L ] was obtained by 1:2 condensation of 1,3-diaminopentane with salicylaldehyde and has been used to synthesise an unusual copper(II) complex whose asymmetric unit presents two structurally different almost linear trinuclear units [Cu 3 (μ- L ) 2 (ClO 4 ) 2 ] [Cu 3 (μ- L ) 2 (H 2 O)(ClO 4 ) 2 ] ( 1 ). The ligand and the complex were characterised by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1 H NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopy in addition electrochemical and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were performed for the complex. The magnetic properties of 1 reveal the presence of strong in…

Ferromagnetic exchange coupling in a new bis(μ-chloro)-bridged copper(II) Schiff base complex: Synthesis, structure, magnetic properties and catalytic oxidation of cycloalkanes

Abstract A new (μ-chloro)-bridged complex [Cu(HL)Cl]2 · H2O (1) with the Schiff base ligand H2L, [2-((E)-(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl)-4-bromophenol], has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis and EPR spectroscopic studies. X-ray diffraction studies show that 1 is a binuclear CuII complex with a pair of chlorine atoms bridging the copper atoms in a central Cu2Cl2 core. Each copper atom in 1 adopts a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with the imine nitrogen atom, alkoxy and phenoxy oxygen atoms from the Schiff base ligand and a bridging chlorine atom constructing the basal plane, while the apical position of the pyramid is occupied by the other bridging chlori…

Weak Interactions Modulating the Dimensionality in Supramolecular Architectures in Three New Nickel(II)-Hydrazone Complexes, Magnetostructural Correlation, and Catalytic Potential for Epoxidation of Alkenes under Phase Transfer Conditions

Three different ONO donor acetyl hydrazone Schiff bases have been synthesized from the condensation of acetic hydrazide with three different carbonyl compounds: salicylaldehyde (HL(1)), 2-hydroxyacetophenone (HL(2)), and 2, 3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (HL(3)). These tridentate ligands are reacted with Ni(OOCCF(3))(2)·xH(2)O to yield three new Ni(II) complexes having distorted octahedral geometry at each Ni center: [Ni(L(1))(OOCCF(3))(CH(3)OH)](2) (1), [Ni(L(2))(OOCCF(3))(H(2)O)](2) (2), and [Ni(L(3))(L(3)H)](OOCCF(3))(H(2)O)(1.65)(CH(3)OH)(0.35) (3). The ligands and the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, and the structures of the complexes ha…

NaI/CuI–II heterometallic cages interconnected by unusual linear 2-coordinate OCN-Cu(I)-NCO links: synthesis, structural, magnetostructural correlation and computational studies

A new Na(I)/Cu(I-II) heterometallic coordination complex [Cu(2)L(2)Na(NCO)(2)Cu](n) (1) with an unusual architecture has been synthesised. In 1 cyclic Na-O-Cu-O-Cu cages constructed by the tetradentate N(2)O(2) donor Schiff base ligand (H(2)L = N, N'-bis(2-hydroxyacetophenone) propylenediimine) are interconnected to each other by a rare singly end-to-end bridged OCN-Cu(I)-NCO link generating 1D chain. The complex has been characterised by elemental, spectral and structural analysis. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 has been compared with the analogous complexes. Cryomagnetic susceptibility studies indicate the copper(II) centers in the cyclic Na-O-Cu-O-Cu cages are antiferromagnetically coupled…
