One‐Dimensional Coordination Polymers of Mn II , Cu II , and Zn II Supported by Carboxylate‐Appended (2‐Pyridyl)alkylamine Ligands – Structure and Magnetism

Four new complexes [MnII(L1OO)(H2O)][ClO4]·2H2O (1), [ZnII(L1OO)][ClO4]·2H2O (2), [CuII(L3OO)][CF3SO3]·H2O (3), and [ZnII(L3OO)][ClO4] (4) (L1OO– = 3-[(2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethyl){2-(pyridine-2-yl)methyl}amino]propionate; L3OO– = 3-[(2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethyl){(dimethylamino)ethyl}amino]propionate) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Structural analysis revealed that 1, 3, and 4 are one-dimensional chain-like coordination polymers. In 1 distorted octahedral MnN3O3 and in 3 square-pyramidal CuN3O2 coordination is satisfied by three nitrogen atoms and an appended carboxylate oxygen atom of the ligand, and an oxygen atom belonging to the carboxy…

Discrete unusual mixed-bridged trinuclear CoIII2CoII and pentanuclear NiII coordination complexes supported by a phenolate-based ligand: theoretical and experimental magneto-structural study

Two new complexes [CoIII2CoII(μ-OL)2(μ-OOCCH3)2(μ-N3)2(N3)2]·Et2O (1·Et2O) and [NiII5(μ-OL)4(μ-OOCCH3)2(OOCCH3)2(μ-N3)2]·CH3CN (2) (HOL = 2-((2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylamino)methyl)phenol) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Structural analysis revealed that 1 is a discrete trinuclear and 2 is a discrete pentanuclear coordination complex. In complex 1, terminal metal (CoIII) is in a distorted octahedral MN4O2 environment where coordination is satisfied by two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom of the ligand, and an oxygen atom from the acetate group and two nitrogen atoms from azide (one each from the bridging and terminal ones). The centra…

Isostructural Dinuclear Phenoxo-/Acetato-Bridged Manganese(II), Cobalt(II), and Zinc(II) Complexes with Labile Sites: Kinetics of Transesterification of 2-Hydroxypropyl-p-nitrophenylphosphate

Using the dinucleating phenol-based ligand 2,6-bis[3-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]-4-methylphenol] (HL(2)), in its deprotonated form, the six new dinuclear complexes [M(II)(2)(L(2))(μ-O(2)CMe)(2)(MeCN)(2)][PF(6)] (M = Mn (2a), Co (3a), Zn (4a)) and [M(II)(2)(L(2))(μ-O(2)CMe)(2)(MeCN)(2)][BPh(4)] (M = Mn (2b), Co (3b), Zn (4b)) have been synthesized. Crystallographic analyses on 2b·2MeCN, 3b·2MeCN, and 4b·2MeCN reveal that these complexes have closely similar μ-phenoxo bis(μ-carboxylato) structures. The physicochemical properties (absorption and ESI-MS spectral data, 2a,b, 3a,b, and 4a,b; (1)H NMR, 4a,b) of the cations of 2a-4a are identical with those of 2b-4b. Each metal ion is termina…

Dimeric Mn(ii), Co(ii), Ni(ii) and Cu(ii) complexes of a common carboxylate-appended (2-pyridyl)alkylamine ligand: structure, magnetism and DFT study

Four new complexes of composition [MII2(L3)2(CH3OH)2](ClO4)2 (M = Mn, 1; Co, 2; Ni, 3) and [CuII2(L3)2](ClO4)2 (4) (L3(−) = 3-[2-(((6-methyl)pyridin-2-yl)methyl){(dimethylamino)ethyl}-amino]propionate) have been synthesized and characterized. Structural analysis reveals that 1–4 are discrete syn–anti carboxylate-bridged binuclear coordination complexes with a {MII2(–O–C–O–)2}2+ structural motif. In 1–3 distorted octahedral MN3O3 and in 4 distorted square pyramidal CuN3O2 coordination is satisfied at each M(II) center by three N (a pyridyl and two tertiary aliphatic amines) and a carboxylate O of the ligand, and an O of the carboxylate group. In 1–3 the M(II) center is also coordinated by a …

Unprecedented heptacopper(ii) cluster with body-centred anti-prismatic topology. Structure, magnetism and density functional study

Using a (2-pyridyl)ethylamine-appended carboxylate ligand a new cluster [Cu(II)(7)(L)(4)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)(DMF)(2)][ClO(4)](4)·4H(2)O (1) [L(2-): N-{CH(2)CH(2)(2-pyridyl)}(CH(2)CH(2)CO(2))(2)] is synthesized, as a result of 'coordination-driven self-assembly'. The structure of 1 is unique and consists of a centrosymmetric carboxylato- and hydroxo-bridged heptanuclear copper(II) cation, with body-centred anti-prismatic topology. The four crystallographically independent copper(II) centres differ markedly in their coordination geometry. In addition to establishing cluster authenticity, the structural analysis of 1 discloses two notable features. The existence of {Cu(II)(3)(μ(3)-OH)}(5+) c…

Molecular squares of Ni(II) and Cu(II): ferromagnetic exchange interaction mediated by syn-anti carboxylate-bridging.

The synthesis of four discrete tetranuclear complexes {[Ni(II)(L(2))][ClO(4)]}(4).MeCN (1), {[Cu(II)(L(1))(O(3)SCF(3))]}(4).H(2)O (), {[Cu(II)(L(3))(OClO(3))]}(4).MeCN () and {[Cu(II)(L(4))][ClO(4)]}(4).3MeCN.4H(2)O (4), supported by a closely similar group of carboxylate-appended (2-pyridyl)alkylamine ligands [L(1)(-): 3-[N-methyl-{2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl}amino]propionate; L(2)(-): 3-[(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl){2-(pyridin-2-yl)methyl}amino]propionate; L(3)(-): 3-[N-isopropyl-{2-(pyridin-2-yl)methyl}amino]propionate and L(4)(2-): 3-[N-{2-(pyridin-2-yl)methyl}amino]-bis(propionate)] is described. Structural characterization reveals that each Ni(II) centre in 1 has square-pyramidal Ni(II)N(3)O(2) …

A carboxylate-bridged NiII8 cluster with a distorted cubane topology: structure, magnetism and density functional studies

Using a dicarboxylate ligand appended with (2-pyridyl)ethylamine unit, a new cluster [NiII8(L4)6(DMF)2(CH3OH)2(H2O)6][ClO4]4·2CH3OH·2CH3CO2C2H5 (1) [L4(2−): 3-[N-{2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl}amino]-bis(propionate)] has been synthesized, through ‘coordination-driven self-assembly’. The crystal structure of 1 reveals a centrosymmetric octanuclear carboxylate-bridged nickel(II) tetracation, with a distorted cubane topology. The four crystallographically independent nickel(II) centres differ markedly in their coordination environment. Magnetic studies (2–300 K) reveal that in 1 the net magnetic-exchange is antiferromagnetic. Based on geometric parameters associated with two interacting nickel(II) cen…
