Dimer complexes of 2,4-toluenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (2,4-TDTA) with copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II), zinc(II) and manganese(II). Studies in aqueous solution and solid state. X-ray crystal structures of Na4[Ni2(2,4-TDTA)2]·15H2O and Na4[Cu2(2,4-TDTA)2]·20H2O
Abstract Potentiometric investigations in aqueous solution at 25°C and ionic strength 0.1 mol dm−3 KCl show that 2 2,4-toluenediamine-N,N,N′N′-tetraacetic acid (2,4-TDTA) forms with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II) the following complexes (ligand, H4L): monomers [MH2L], [MHL]− and [ML]2−; dimers [M2HL2]3− and [M2L2]4−; with excess of ligand [MH2L2]4−, [MHL2]5− and [ML2]6− (Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)) and with excess of metal [M2HL]+ (Ni(II), Co(II)and Mn(II) and [M2L] (Cu(II)). The formation constants of the complexes have been determined. The species distribution diagrams indicate that a concentrated solution with a ligand:metal ratio 1:1 at pH 6 is suitable for the synthesis of cr…
1,2,4,5‐Benzenetetracarboxylic Acid and 4,4′‐Bipyridine as Ligands in Designing Low‐Dimensional Coordination Polymers
The combined use of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H4bta) and 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy) as ligands with MnII and CoII ions afforded two polymeric compounds with the formulae [Mn(Hbta)(Hbpy)(H2O)2] (1) and [H2bpy][Co(bta)(bpy)(H2O)2] (2). 1 and 2 were prepared under hydrothermal conditions (145 °C, 3 h) and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, TG-DTA analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. 1 exhibits a novel double chain structure growing along the b axis where the manganese atoms are linked by tris-monodentate Hbta3− ligands. The values of the manganese···manganese intrachain separations are 7.627(2) A [Mn(1)···Mn(1c); c = −x + 1/2, y − 1/2, −z] and 9.274(4…
