The Synthesis and Structure of Palladium 2,4-dimethyl-8-hydroselenoquinolinate
2014
The internal complex palladium 2,4-dimethyl-8- hydroselenoquinolinate Pd[C9H4(CH3)2NSe]2 (I) has been synthesized in the course of study of the complexing activity of 8- hydroselenoquinoline and investigation of the nature of chemical bond metal-selenium in the five-membered metal-containing ring. X-ray diffraction data for I: Monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 9.0092(4), b = 16.3290(7), c = 14.1073(6) A, = 106.710(2)o, V = 1987.7(2) A3, Z = 4, R1=0.0477, wR2=0.1182 for 4499 reflections (diffractometer Bruker-Nonius KappaCCD, MoK). The crystal structure of the complex I is formed by neutral asymmetric molecules Pd[C9H4(CH3)2NSe]2 in which the central atom palladium is connected bidentic…
Teaching Inorganic Photophysics and Photochemistry with Three Ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl Complexes: A Computer-Based Exercise
2015
Among computational methods, DFT (density functional theory) and TD-DFT (time-dependent DFT) are widely used in research to describe, inter alia, the optical properties of transition metal complexes. Inorganic/physical chemistry courses for undergraduate students treat such methods, but quite often only from the theoretical point of view. In the calculation exercise herein described, students are guided step by step through the computational study of the photophysics and photochemistry of polypyridyl Ru(II) d6-metal complexes. In particular, by means of DFT and TD-DFT calculations, they are asked to examine and interpret a set of experimental data describing the absorption, emission, and ph…

Cooperative phenomena and light-induced bistability in iron(II) spin-crossover compounds
1999
In iron(II) spin-crossover compounds, the transition from the 1A1 low-spin state at low temperatures to the 5T2 high-spin state at elevated temperatures is accompanied by a large increase in metal-ligand bond lengths. The resulting elastic interactions may be pictured as an internal pressure which is proportional to the concentration of the low-spin species. Because pressure stabilises the low-spin state relative to the high-spin state this results in a positive feedback. Thermal transition curves in neat iron(II) spin-crossover compounds are thus invariable much steeper than in diluted mixed crystals, and the high-spin→low-spin relaxation following the light-induced population of the high-…
Synthesis, structural and magnetic characterizations of new complexes of di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine (pyCOpyCOpy) ligand
2013
International audience; Using the di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine ligand (L1) as starting framework, five new mononuclear complexes were obtained: [Cu(L1)(MeCN)(ClO4)2] (1) [Co(L1)(MeCN)(Br)2]*MeCN (2), [Fe(L1)2](BF4)2*MeOH*H2O (3), [Cr(L2a)Cl2]*2MeOH (where HL2a is (6-(hydroxyl(methoxy)(pyridin-2-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)(pyridin-2-yl)methanone) (4) and one trinuclear [NiII3] complex, [Ni3(L2b)2(Bz)2(EtOH)2](ClO4)2*2EtOH (where HL2b is (6-(hydroxyl(ethoxy)(pyridin-2-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)(pyridin-2-yl)methanone; Bz = benzoato) (5). Their structural and magnetic characterizations are herein reported. All the metal ions show octahedral coordination geometry, which is slightly unusual for t…
Shedding Light on the Interactions of Hydrocarbon Ester Substituents upon Formation of Dimeric Titanium(IV) Triscatecholates in DMSO Solution
2020
Abstract The dissociation of hierarchically formed dimeric triple lithium bridged triscatecholate titanium(IV) helicates with hydrocarbyl esters as side groups is systematically investigated in DMSO. Primary alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl as well as benzyl esters are studied in order to minimize steric effects close to the helicate core. The 1H NMR dimerization constants for the monomer–dimer equilibrium show some solvent dependent influence of the side chains on the dimer stability. In the dimer, the ability of the hydrocarbyl ester groups to aggregate minimizes their contacts with the solvent molecules. Due to this, most solvophobic alkyl groups show the highest dimerization tendency followed by…
Spin state switching in iron coordination compounds
2013
The article deals with coordination compounds of iron(II) that may exhibit thermally induced spin transition, known as spin crossover, depending on the nature of the coordinating ligand sphere. Spin transition in such compounds also occurs under pressure and irradiation with light. The spin states involved have different magnetic and optical properties suitable for their detection and characterization. Spin crossover compounds, though known for more than eight decades, have become most attractive in recent years and are extensively studied by chemists and physicists. The switching properties make such materials potential candidates for practical applications in thermal and pressure sensors …
