Tuning the Electronic Properties of the Dative N-B Bond with Associated O-B Interaction: Electron Localizability Indicator from X-Ray Wavefunction Re…
2016
Despite the immense growth in interest in difluoroborate dyes, the nature of the interactions of the boron atom within the N-BF2 -O kernel is not yet fully understood. Herein, a set of real-space bonding indicators is used to quantify the electronic characteristics of the dative N-B bond in difluoroborate derivatives. The atoms-in-molecules (AIM) partitioning scheme is complemented by the electron localizability indicator (ELI-D) approach, and both were applied to experimental and theoretical electron-density distributions (X-ray constrained wavefunction fitting vs. DFT calculations). Additionally, Fermi orbital analysis was introduced for small DFT models to support and extend the findings…
Mixed phenoxo and azido bridged dinuclear nickel(II) and copper(II) compounds with N,N,O-donor schiff bases: Synthesis, structure, DNA binding, DFT a…
2019
Abstract Two dinuclear complexes, µ-phenoxo, µ1,1-azido bridged [Ni2(L)2(µ1,1-N3)(N3)(CH3OH)] (1) and µ-phenoxo, µ1,1-azido bridged [Cu2(L)2(µ1,1-N3)(N3)] (2) bearing HL as a blocking co-ligand produced by the 1:1 condensation of N-methyl 1,3 propanediamine with o-vanillin have been synthesized and successfully characterized by elemental analyses, IR and electronic spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction for 1 and DFT optimization for 2. X-ray crystal structure discloses that the asymmetric unit of 1 consists of two nickel(II) ions exhibiting a six-coordinate octahedral coordination with µ-phenoxo, µ1,1-azido bridging dimeric structure. The DFT optimization of 2 reveals the five-coor…
Variable Cooperative Interactions in the Pressure and Thermally Induced Multistep Spin Transition in a Two-Dimensional Iron(II) Coordination Polymer
2020
Two types of experiments conducted to investigate the effect of pressure on the spin crossover (SCO) properties of the 2D Fe(II) coordination polymer formulated {Fe[bipy(ttr)2]}n are reported, namely, (1) magnetic measurements performed at variable temperature and at fixed pressure and (2) visible spectroscopy at variable pressure and fixed temperature. The magnetic experiments carried out under a hydrostatic pressure constraint of 0.04, 0.08, and 0.8 GPa reveal a two-step spin transition behavior. The characteristic critical temperatures of the spin transition are shifted upward in temperature as pressure increases. The slope of the straight-line of the Tc vs P plot, dTc/dP, is 775 K/GPa a…
New crystal structures of fluorinated α-aminophosphonic acid analogues of phenylglycine
2020
The four novel phosphonic acid analogues of phenylglycine with various substituents in phenyl ring (mostly fluorine atoms) have been synthesized by using procedure of amidoalkylation of phosphorus trichloride with aromatic aldehydes and acetamide. The NMR, ESI-MS spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-Ray diffraction methods were used to characterize unusual structures: the amino-(4-trifluoromethylbenzyl)-(1), amino-(3,4-difluorobenzyl)-(2), amino-(2,4,6-trifluorobenzyl)-(3), and amino-(2-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzyl)-(4) phosphonic acids. Since the α-aminophosphonates have a potential for biological activity and could be used as building blocks in medicinal chemistry, it is important to know their d…
The photochemistry of mono- and dinuclear cyclometalated bis(tridentate)ruthenium(ii) complexes: dual excited state deactivation and dual emission
2016
The synthesis and characterization of a series of weakly emissive mononuclear cyclometalated [Ru(dpb-R)(tpy)](+) complexes with functional groups R of varying electron-donating characters at the dpb ligand are described (dpbH = 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene, tpy = 2,2';6',2''-terpyridine, 1(+): R = NHCOMe, 2(+): R = NH2, 3(+): R = COOEt, 4(+): R = COOH). Steady-state emission spectroscopy in the temperature range between 298 K and 77 K revealed a previously unrecognized excited state deactivation pathway via low-lying triplet ligand-to-ligand ((3)LL'CT) charge transfer states in addition to the well-known pathway via(3)MC states. Thermal activation barriers for depopulation of the emissive metal…
Studies on the Reduction of [(C 5 Me 5 ) 2 Mo 2 O 5 ] in Methanol/Water/Acetate Solutions by On‐Line Electrochemical Flowcell and Electrospray Mass S…
2003
The complex [Cp*2Mo2O5] (Cp* = η5-C5Me5) and its electrochemical reduction products in acetic acid/acetate-buffered (pH = 4.0) water/methanol solutions were investigated by combined electrochemical (EC) flowcell and on-line electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Mono-, di-, tri-, and tetranuclear organometallic molybdenum oxides were identified in the starting solution. The effect of the relevant ESI-MS parameters (ionic mode, heated capillary voltage, and heated capillary temperature) and of the concentration on the observed distribution of ions in the mass spectrometer was studied in order to minimize side reactions in the ESI chamber. It was verified that reduction in the ES…
Equipping metallo-supramolecular macrocycles with functional groups: Assemblies of pyridine-substituted urea ligands
2012
A series of di-(m-pyridyl)-urea ligands were prepared and characterized with respect to their conformations by NOESY experiments and crystallography. Methyl substitution in different positions of the pyridine rings provides control over the position of the pyridine N atoms relative to the urea carbonyl group. The ligands were used to self-assemble metallo-supramolecular M(2)L(2) and M(3)L(3) macrocycles which are generated in a finely balanced equilibrium in DMSO and DMF according to DOSY NMR experiments and ESI FTICR mass spectrometry. Again, crystallography was used to characterize the assemblies. Methyl substitution in positions next to the pyridine nitrogen prevents coordination, while …
A water molecule in the interior of a 1H-pyrazole Cu2+ metallocage
2016
Water has a great tendency to associate through hydrogen bonding with water molecules or other hydrogen bond donor or acceptor groups. Here the case of a water molecule encapsulated in the interior of a metallocage receptor is presented. The association of four copper(II) ions and two aza-macrocyclic receptors in which two 1H-pyrazole units are connected by cadaverine diamines leads to the inclusion of a water molecule into the cage, as proved by X-ray analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The included water molecule shows no hydrogen bonding with any component of the cage presenting only a weak hydrogen bond with an oxygen atom of a perchlorate counter-anion. The IR stretching vibrations pre…
Protonation of a Spherical Macrotricyclic Tetramine: Water Inclusion, Allosteric Effect, and Cooperativity
2017
The spherical macrotricyclic cryptand tetramine "C24" (1) displays remarkable protonation behaviour. It undergoes protonation in four successive steps for which pKa values of 11.17±0.05, 10.28±0.04, 6.00±0.06 and 3.08±0.08 have been determined at 298 K. The unusually close values for the first two protonations provide evidence for the encapsulation of a water molecule serving as effector for the second protonation, which is consistent with earlier observations that the exchange of protons bound in the diprotonated species with solvent protons is unusually slow and that 17 O NMR spectra show the presence of an oxygen centre in the same species quite distinct from that of solvent water. Encap…
Triorganotin( iv ) cation-promoted dimethyl carbonate synthesis from CO 2 and methanol: solution and solid-state characterization of an unexpected di…
2018
Two novel C,N-chelated organotin(IV) complexes bearing weakly coordinating carborane moieties were prepared by the reaction of the corresponding C,N-chelated organotin(IV) chloride (i.e. LCNR2SnCl, R = n-Bu (1) and Ph (2); LCN = 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl)) with monocarba-closo-dodecaborate silver salt (AgCB11H12; Ag·3). Both products of the metathesis, [LCN(n-Bu)2Sn]+[CB11H12]− (4) and [LCNPh2Sn]+ [CB11H12]− (5), respectively, were characterized by both multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The instability of 4 and 5 towards water is discussed. The solid-state structure of LCN(n-Bu)2SnOH·B(C6F5)3 (4a) as a model compound with a Sn–O(H)⋯B linkage is also reported. The…
