Trans-dicyanobis(acetylacetonato)ruthenate(III) as a precursor to build novel cyanide-bridged RuIII–MII bimetallic compounds [M=Co and Ni]

Abstract The use of the mononuclear complex trans-[Ru(acac)2(CN)2]− as a ligand towards the preformed species [Ni2L(H2O)2Cl2], [Co(dmphen)](NO3)2, [Ni(dmphen)](NO3)2 and [Co(H2O)6](NO3)2 afforded the novel cyanide-bridged bimetallic compounds of formula [{Ru(acac)2(CN)2}{Ni2(L)(H2O)2}]{Ru(acac)2(CN)2}·2H2O (1), [{Ru(acac)2(CN)2}{Co(dmphen)(NO3)}]·H2O (2) and [{Ru(acac)2(CN)2}{Ni(dmphen)(NO3)}]·H2O (3) and [{Ru(acac)2(CN)2}2Co] (4) [Hacac = acetylacetone, dmphen = 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline and H2L = 11,23-dimethyl-3,7,15,19-tetrazatricyclo[19.3.1.19,13]hexacosa-2,7,9,11,13(26),14,19,21(25),22,24-decaene-25,26-diol].

Synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties of cyanide- and phenolate-bridged [MIIINiII]2tetranuclear complexes (M = Fe and Cr)

The binuclear complex NiII2L(H2O)2(ClO4)2 (1) and the neutral tetranuclear bimetallic compounds [{MIII(phen)(CN)4}2{NiII2L(H2O)2}]·2CH3CN with M = Fe (2) and Cr (3) [H2L = 11,23-dimethyl-3,7,15,19-tetraazatricyclo[19.3.1.19,13]hexacosa-2,7,9,11,13(26),14,19,21(25),22,24-decaene-25,26-diol] have been synthesized and the structures of 2 and 3 determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. 2 and 3 are isostructural compounds whose structure is made up of centrosymmetric binuclear cations [Ni2(L)(H2O)2]2+ and two peripheral [M(phen)(CN)4]− anions [M = Fe (2) and Cr (3)] acting as monodentate ligands towards the nickel atoms through one of their four cyanide nitrogen atoms. The environment of t…

[Mn2(bipym)(H2O)8]4+and [Fe(bipy)(CN)4]−as building blocks in designing novel bipym- and cyanide-bridged heterobimetallic complexes (bipym = 2,2′-bipyrimidine and bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine)

Two new cyano complexes, K[Fe(bipy)(CN)4]·H2O (1) and (μ-bipym)[Mn(H2O)3{Fe(bipy)(CN)4}]2[Fe(bipy)(CN)4]2·12H2O (2), have been synthesised and their structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is made up of mononuclear [Fe(bipy)(CN)4]− anions, potassium cations and water molecules of crystallization. The iron(III) is six-coordinated, being surrounded by two nitrogen atoms of a chelating bipy and four carbon atoms of four cyanide groups [Fe–N and Fe–C 1.991(3)–1.990(3) and 1.958(5)–1.914(5) A, respectively]. Complex 2 consists of centrosymmetric tetranuclear (μ-bipym)[Fe(H2O)3{Fe(bipy)(CN)4}]22+ cations, [Fe(bipy)(CN)4]− anions and water molecules of crystallization.…
