Solid state conformational and theoretical study of complexes containing the (CxN)Pd moiety (CxN = 2-(phenylazo)phenyl-C,N and its derivatives)

Palladium complexes having the 2-(phenylazo)phenyl-C,N ligand exhibit a planar chelating ring with NN and N–C distances longer and shorter respectively than those found in trans-azobenzene. The ligand is not planar upon complexation, the mean angle between the phenyl ring and the chelating one found in the Cambridge Structural Database being of 45.6°. We have quantified and characterised the kind of distortion from planar coordination around metallic centers. The method employed makes use of two improper torsion angles, tetrahedral distortion being most frequently found in phenylazophenyl palladium complexes. Crystal structures of three succinimidate complexes having the title moiety are re…

Syntheses, crystal structures, and oxidative DNA cleavage of some Cu(II) complexes of 5-amino-3-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazole

Three new monomeric Cu(II) complexes of 5-amino-3-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazole (Hapt), [Cu(Hapt)(H(2)O)(2)(SO(4))] (1), [Cu(Hapt)(2)(H(2)O)(NO(3))](NO(3)) (2), and [Cu(Hapt)(2)(NCS-N)](NCS).H(2)O (3), have been prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. One distorted [CuN(2)O(2)+O(')] square-pyramidal (1), one distorted [CuN(3)O+N(')+O(')] octahedral (2), and one distorted [CuN(4)+N(')] intermediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal (3) coordination configuration were found and are suggested to be due to the chelating nature of the ligand, which interacts with Cu(II) through the N4(triazole) and N(pyridine) atoms. Spectral properties of these chelates are…

Networks based on hydrogen-bonds containing phosphorus anions and tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate nickel(II) moieties

Abstract Five structural kinds of nickel hydrogen-bonded networks containing hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate ligands (Tp∗) have been elucidated by X-ray diffraction, [Tp∗Ni(OH2)3][(p-NO2C6H4O)2PO2] (4), [Tp∗Ni(OH2)3][Me2PO2]·Me2P(O)OH (5), [Tp∗Ni(OH2)3][(nBuO)2PO2]·0.5H2O (6), [(Hpz)Tp∗Ni(OH2)2][(Ph)PO2OH] (7) and [Tp∗Ni(OH2)2(Me2PO2)] (8). The most relevant supramolecular feature of complexes 4–8 is all of them form coordination networks based on hydrogen bonds between water molecules and phosphate, phosphonate or phosphinate anions. These hydrogen bonds are formed within the monomer units in addition to connect monomers along the chains. Their behaviors in solution were investigate…

Reactivity Towards Acidic Protic Ligands of Cyclopalladated Di‐μ‐hydroxo Complexes

The dinuclear hydroxo complexes [{Pd(μ-OH)(C∧N)}2] [C∧N = 2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl (Phpy) (I), 7,8-benzoquinolyl (Bzq) (II) and 2-(2-oxazolinyl)phenyl (Phox) (III)] react in a 1:2 molar ratio with a wide variety of protic electrophiles H(L∧L) bearing different sets of donor atoms (L∧L = O∧O or O∧N) to give the mononuclear neutral palladium(II) derivatives with the general formula [Pd(L∧L)(C∧N)] [O∧O = salicylaldehydate (sal) (1), acetylacetonate (acac) (2) and benzoylacetonate (bzac) (3); O∧N = N-phenylsalicylaldiminate (N-Phsal) (4), N-p-chlorophenylsalicylaldiminate (N-pClPhsal) (5), 2-pyrrolecarbaldeydate (2-pcal) (6), 8-hydroxyquinolinate (oxin) (7)].

Hydrogen Bonding and Anion Binding in Structures of Tris(pyrazolyl)boratenickel(II) and Phosphate Esters

This paper presents the syntheses, crystal structures and spectroscopic properties of a series of nickel(II) complexes containing hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate and phosphate esters: [Tp*Ni(Hpz*)2(L)][(RO)2PO2] [R = Et, Bu; L = H2O (1), (BuO)2P(O)OH (2)] and [Tp*Ni(Hpz*)(H2O)2][(EtO)2PO2] (5) {Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, Hpz* = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole}. The complexes [Ni(Tp*)2] (3) and [(Tp*Ni)2(μ-pz*)(μ-OH)](4) were also prepared and fully characterized. X-ray crystallographic studies of 1 and 2 reveal that the pyrazole moieties are hydrogen bonded to the guest phosphate ester anion. In complex 5, the phosphate anion is hydrogen-bonded by two O–H groups of the water …

Synthesis and characterization of cyclometallated palladium(II) complexes with 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde

New palladium(II) complexes containing 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde a (Ph2P(o-C6H4CHO), displaying different coordination modes, have been synthesized in moderate to good yields (62–91%). The cyclometallated palladium(II) complexes [Pd(C^N)(Ph2 P(o-C6H4CHO)(Cl)] (1–4) in which a is P-monodentate have been prepared by reacting it with selected cyclometallated precursors containing bridging chlorides [Pd(C^N)(μ-Cl)]2 [C^N=2-phenylpyridine (Phpy), 7,8-benzoquinoline (Bzq), azobenzene (Phazo), and 2-phenyloxazoline (Phox), respectively]. A rigid P,O-chelating behavior of a, confirmed by the crystal structure determination of [Pd(Phox)(Ph2 P (o-C6H4CHO)][CF3SO3] (8), is observed in complexe…

Synthesis and characterization of new oxazoline-based palladacycles with bridging or terminal imidate ligands. Crystal structures of [{Pd(μ-dibromomaleimidate)(Phox)}2], [Pd(dibromomaleimidate)(Phox)(PPh3)] and [Pd(glutarimidate)(Phox)(PPh3)] (Phox=2-(2-oxazolinyl)phenyl))

Abstract The dinuclear hydroxo complex [{Pd(μ-OH)(Phox)}2] (I) (Phox = 2-(2-oxazolinyl)phenyl) reacts in a 1:2 molar ratio with several imidate ligands to yield new cyclometallated palladium complexes [{Pd(μ-NCO)(Phox)}2] containing asymmetric imidate –NCO– bridging units. [–NCO– = succinimidate (succ) (1), phtalimidate (phtal) (2), maleimidate (mal) (3), 2,3-dibromomaleimidate (2,3-diBrmal) (4) and glutarimidate (glut) (5)]. The reaction of these complexes with tertiary phosphines provides novel mononuclear N-bonded imidate derivatives of the general formula [Pd(imidate)(Phox)(PR3)] [R = Ph (a), 4-F–C6H4 (b) or CH2CH2CN (c)]. The new complexes were characterized by partial elemental analys…
