Rare earth metal complexes that contain linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligands: ansa-metallocene mimics and “constrained geometry” catalysts
2003
A survey of group 3 metal complexes that contain a linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligand is given. Originally designed as ansa-metallocene analogues for the development of single-component olefin polymerization catalysts, variations in the metals and ligand substituents have allowed the synthetic access to new rare earth metal complexes including olefin polymerization initiators, divalent complexes and heterobimetallic metallocenes. The linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligands have made half-sandwich complexes of group 3 metals accessible in a more systematic manner and provided a better understanding of the electronic and steric constraints of chelating ligands for the larger rare earth metal …
Self-Assembly, Characterisation, and Crystal Structure of Multinuclear Metal Complexes of the [2×3] and [3×3] Grid-Type
2002
The self-assembly of new multimetallic complexes of grid-type architecture is described. The binding of a set of tris-terdentate ligands, 1 a-1 d, based on terpyridine-like subunits, with different octahedrally coordinated metal ions leads to the formation of species whose structure depends strongly on the ligand, the metal ion, the counterion, the solvent, and the reaction conditions. Under suitable conditions, the [3 x 3] grid was obtained from the reaction of ligand 1 a with zinc tetrafluoroborate and from ligand 1 b with mercury triflate. The other ligands led to the formation of mainly one compound of composition [M(6)L(5)](12+), which has the structure of an incomplete [2 x 3] grid. T…
Synthesis of N-methyl alkylaminomethane-1,1-diphosphonic acids and evaluation of their complex-formation abilities towards copper(II)
2015
Abstract A series of N -methyl alkylaminomethane-1,1-diphosphonic acids ( 3a – g ) with a common tertiary nitrogen atom (CH 3 –N–R) bearing linear or branched alkyl, cycloheptyl or phenylalkyl R substituents was synthesized in the reaction of diethylphosphonate with triethyl orthoformate and secondary amine followed by hydrolysis, and by the Eschweiler–Clarke methylation of the alkylaminomethane-1,1-diphosphonic acids with formic acid and formaldehyde. Complex-formation abilities of 3a – g towards copper(II) in solution were studied by means of pH-potentiometry, ESI-MS spectrometry, UV–Vis and EPR methods. Evaluation of stability constants for the Cu(II) complexes of 3a – g has revealed the…
ChemInform Abstract: Dynamic Magnetic MOFs
2013
In this review we combine the use of coordination chemistry with the concepts of molecular magnetism to design magnetic Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) in which the crystalline network undergoes a dynamic change upon application of an external stimulus. The various approaches so far developed to prepare these kinds of chemically or physically responsive MOFs with tunable magnetic properties are presented.
Dual application of (aqua)(chlorido)(porphyrinato)chromium(III) as hypersensitive amine-triggered ON switch and for dioxygen activation.
2014
Although synthesis and substitution reactions of chlorido chromium(III) porphyrins Cr(III)(TPP)(Cl)(L) (H2TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl porphyrin, L = pyridine, H2O, ROH, etc.), have been well-established in coordination chemistry for decades, an unexpected dichotomous reactivity of Cr(III)(TPP)(Cl)(H2O) (1) toward amines is disclosed here. This reactivity leads to the application of 1 as highly sensitive substoichiometric and irreversible ON switch for amine detection by an autocatalytic pathway. The concomitant activation of O2 by the 1/amine system is furthermore exploited in an electrochemically driven epoxidation of norbonene using O2 as initial oxidant.
Fragmentation reactions of realgar caused by early transition metal hydrides
2012
Abstract The reaction of realgar with [Cp′2MH3] in boiling toluene gave [Cp′2M2As2S6] (Cp′ = t-BuC5H4; M = Nb: 1; Ta: 2), while [Cp2WH2] (Cp = C5H5) reacted with As4S4 to give [Cp2W(H)(η1-As5S2)] (6). The structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. Compounds 1 and 2 are dimers in which two Cp′M units are symmetrically bridged by a μ,η2:2-AsS3 ligand, a sulfide ligand and a heteroallylic μ,η2:2-AsS2 ligand. The structure of 6 belongs to the type of bent metallocenes in which tungsten is surrounded tetrahedrally by two Cp ligands, a crystallographically found hydride atom and the new As5S2 cage. The reaction of 1 with W(CO)5THF gave [Cp′2Nb2As2S6·W(CO)5] (3) and [Cp′2Nb2As2S6W(CO)3·W…
Copper(II) complexes with sulfonamides derived from 2-picolylamine and their use as chemical nucleases
2006
Reaction between 2-picolylamine (2-aminomethylpyridine) with 2-mesitylenesulfonyl and 4- tert -butylbenzene sulfonyl chlorides leads to the formation of 2,4,6-trimethyl- N -[pyridin-2-ilmethyl]benzenesulfonamide (Hpmesa) and 4-ter-butyl- N -[pyridin-2-ilmethyl]benzenesulfonamide (Hptbsa). These compounds react with Cu(II) salts to yield coordination compounds with CuL 2 stoichiometry. The immediate environment of the metal ion is a highly distorted tetrahedron, the sulfonamide ligands acting in a bidentate fashion. Compound Hpmesa crystallizes in monoclinic space group P 2 1 /c (number 14), with Z = 4; complex [Cu(pmesa) 2 ] crystallizes in monoclinic space group P 1 ¯ (number 2), with Z …
SN1 Reactions in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide in the Presence of Alcohols: the Role of Preferential Solvation
2016
Ethanol (3b) inhibits SN1 reactions of alkyl halides 1 in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) and gives no ethers as products. The unexpected behaviour of alcohols 3 in the reaction of alkyl halides 1 with 1,3-dimethoxybenzene (2) in scCO2 under different conditions is rationalised in terms of Bronsted and Lewis acid–base equilibria of reagents, intermediates, additives and products in a singular solvent characterised by: (i) the strong quadrupole and Lewis acid character of carbon dioxide, which hinders SN2 paths by strongly solvating basic solutes; (ii) the weak Lewis base character of carbon dioxide, which prevents it from behaving as a proton sink; (iii) the compressible nature of scCO…
Review: Solution equilibria of ternary complexes formed from copper(II), aliphatic amines, and bioligands
2014
This review provides a summary of the coordination chemistry of ligands in the ternary system: copper(II)–aliphatic amine–bioligand, where amine = ethylenediamine – En, diethylenetriamine – Dien, or N, N, N′, N″, N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine – Me5dien, and bioligand = selected amino acid, aminohydroxamic acid, or aminophosphonic acid, in aqueous solution. We would like to show the specific interactions of copper(II) in ternary systems in the context of complex equilibria chemistry.
Enantioselective self-assembly of antiferromagnetic hexacopper(ii) wheels with chiral amino acid oxamates
2013
The Cu(2+)-mediated self-assembly of oxamato-based ligands derived from either the (S)- or (R)-enantiomers of the amino acid valine leads to the formation of two antiferromagnetically coupled homochiral anionic hexacopper(II) wheels in the presence of templating tetramethylammonium countercations.
