Remarkable Steric Effects and Influence of Monodentate Axial Ligands L on the Spin-Crossover Properties of trans-[FeII(N4 ligand)L] Complexes

Iron(II) complexes obtained from tetradentate, rigid, linear N4 ligands have been investigated to appraise the influence of steric effects and the impact of trans-coordinated anions on the spin-transition behavior. As expected, the well-designed ligands embrace the metal center, resulting in octahedral iron(II) complexes where the basal plane is fully occupied by the pyridine/pyrazole N4 ligand, while anions or solvent molecules are exclusively axially coordinated. Precursor complexes, namely, [Fe(bpzbpy)(MeOH)2](BF4)2 (where bpzbpy symbolizes the ligand 6,6'-bis(N-pyrazolylmethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine) and [Fe(mbpzbpy)(MeOH)2](BF4)2 (where mbpzbpy symbolizes the ligand 6,6'-bis(3,5-dimethyl-N-p…

Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of two acetazolamide (5-acetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide) complexes: bis(5-acetamidato- 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide-O)bis( 1,2-ethanediamine)copper(II) and bis(5-acetamidato-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide-N)bis(1,3- propanediamine)copper(II); an unusually weak ambidentate anionic ligand

Abstract The diverse coordination chemistry exhibited by acetazolamide (H2acm), a potent inhibitor of the carbonic anhydrase metalloenzyme, is highlighted in two new copper(II) complexes of this ligand: [Cu(Hacm)2(en)2] (I) and [Cu(Hacm)2(tn)2] (II). The synthesis, crystal structure and spectroscopic properties of both compounds are reported in this paper. The structures of both compounds consist of discrete units of [Cu(Hacm)2(en)2] (I) and [Cu(Hacm)2(tn)2] (II), respectively, interacting through van der Waals contacts and hydrogen bonds only. Hacm, however, binds differently in each compound. In both cases, the Cu(II) ions, lying on the symmetry centers, show an elongated octahedral geome…

Synthesis, characterization, crystal structures and magnetic exchange in dinuclear copper complexes with 3-amino-1-propanol as terminal and bridging ligand

Abstract The synthesis, X-ray structures and spectroscopic and magnetic properties are described for two groups of dinuclear Cu(II) compounds with the ligand 3-amino-1-propanol (Hap). The formulae of the compounds are for group A: [Cu(ap)(anion)]2, in which ap is the dehydronated Hap and the anions are formate, nitrate, chloride and bromide and for group B: [Cu(ap)(Hap)]2(anion)2, with anion = iodide, bromide, chloride, nitrate and tetrafluoroborate. The structure of group A compounds consists of dinuclear units with the co-planar centrosymmetric chromophore ANCuOO′CuNA, in which the A ligands (anions) bridge to neighbouring units as axial ligands, thereby forming infinite chains.

Synthesis and characterization of mononuclear complexes containing 3-acetylamino-1,2,4-triazole (aat). X-ray structure of [Co(aat)2(H2O)2]Br2

Abstract The spectroscopic characteristics of the isostructural compounds [M(aat) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]X 2 (aat = 3-acetylamino-1,2,4-triazole; M = Co, Cu, X = Br, CI; M = Ni, X = Cl) are described. The structure of [Co(aat) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]Br 2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P 2 1 / a with a = 9.686(3), b = 14.433(4), c = 6.169(2) A, β = 92.84(2)° and Z = 2. The structure was refined to final R and R ′ values of 0.033 and 0.039 for 1066 observed reflections. In the mononuclear cationic complex, having an imposed crystallographic C i symmetry, the cobalt atom is surrounded in a slightly distorted octahedral arrangement by two axial water molecule…

Spin crossover in hexakis(1-(2-chloroethyl)-tetrazole)iron(II) complexes; synthesis and magnetic properties

Abstract The spin-crossover complexes [Fe(teec)6](X)2 (with teec=1-(2-chloroethyl)-tetrazole and X=BF4, ClO4, PF6) possess two iron(II) sites each having a different spin-crossover behaviour. The magnetic behaviour of the complexes obtained by slow crystallisation differs strongly from those obtained by precipitation. This difference results in either a spin crossover of 50% (X=ClO4, crystalline), two gradual steps (X=BF4, PF6), or two steps, of which one is gradual and the other having a thermal hysteresis (X=ClO4 precipitated). Both 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements have been recorded as a function of T. The crystal structure of [Fe(teec)6](BF4)2 has bee…

Dimetallic complexes derived from a novel dinucleating chelating symmetric triazole ligand; crystal structure, magnetic properties and ESR study of bis[μ-3,5-diacetylamino-1,2,4-triazolato-O ′,N 1,N 2,O ″]bis[(nitrato)(aqua)copper(II)] ‡

Reaction of 3,5-diacetylamino-1,2,4-triazole (Hdaat) with copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) salts yields dinuclear co-ordination compounds, which were spectroscopically characterized. The crystal and molecular structure of one of the compounds, bis[µ-3,5-diacetylamino-1,2,4-triazolato-O′,N 1,N 2,O″]bis[(nitrato)(aqua)copper(II)] 1, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 consists of dinuclear units with an inversion center at the midpoint of the Cu–Cu vector. The most remarkable feature of this structure is that the daat ligand forms a six-membered chelate ring [Cu–N3–C3–N1–C2–O1; Cua–N4–C4–N5–C5–O2], in contrast with the five-membered chelate rings always found in…
