Structural, photophysical and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes based on the dipicolylamino-chloro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine ligand

2015

International audience; The ligand 3-chloro-6-dipicolylamino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (Cl-TTZ-dipica) 1, prepared by the direct reaction between 3,6-dichloro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine and di(2-picolyl)-amine, afforded a series of four neutral transition metal complexes formulated as [Cl-TTZ-dipica-MCl2]2, with M = Zn(II), Cd(II), Mn(II) and Co(II), when reacted with the corresponding metal chlorides. The dinuclear structure of the isostructural complexes was disclosed by single crystal X-ray analysis, clearly indicating the formation of [MII–(μ-Cl)2MII] motifs and the involvement of the amino nitrogen atom in semi-coordination with the metal centers, thus leading to distorted octahedral coordination geome…

A nickel complex incorporating an N2 O ligand with a rare η2 -N,N'-coordination mode was isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography, as well as by IR and solid-state NMR spectroscopy augmented by 15 N-labeling experiments. The isoelectronic nickel CO2 complex reported for comparison features a very similar solid-state structure. Computational studies revealed that η2 -N2 O binds to nickel slightly stronger than η2 -CO2 in this case, and comparably to or slightly stronger than η2 -CO2 to transition metals in general. Comparable transition-state energies for the formation of isomeric η2 -N,N'- and η2 -N,O-complexes, and a negligible activation barrier for the decomposition of the lat…

Three‐in‐One Crystal: The Coordination Diversity of Zinc Polypyridine Complexes

2017

The synthesis, structural and photophysical properties of two novel zinc(II) complexes bearing the tridentate ddpd (N,N' dimethyl N,N' dipyridin 2 ylpyridine 2,6 diamine) ligand are presented. Structural investigations have been carried out by single crystal X-ray diffractometry, NMR spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory calculations, revealing a diverse coordination behavior depending on the counter ion. Spectroscopic (UV-VIS and emission spectroscopy) and theoretical techniques (density functional theory and time dependent DFT calculations) have been employed to explore the photophysical properties of the complexes.

Isomerisation of Liquid-Crystalline Tristriazolotriazines

2017

Star-shaped discotic liquid crystals with columnar superstructures constitute a highly interesting class of organic materials. Phenyl-substituted tris[1,2,4]triazolo-[1,3,5]triazine, prepared by a Huisgen reaction of phenyltetrazole and cyanuric chloride, represents an excellent core for discotic liquid crystals (DLCs). The thermal stability is not perfect, at temperatures above the clearing point, a successive threefold isomerization leads to a highly planar, C

Photoswitching of the antiferromagnetic coupling in an oxamato-based dicopper(ii) anthracenophane

2011

Thermally reversible photomagnetic (ON/OFF) switching behavior has been observed in a dinuclear oxamatocopper(ii) anthracenophane upon UV light irradiation and heating; the two CuII ions (SCu = 1/2) that are antiferromagnetically coupled in the dicopper(ii) metallacyclic precursor (ON state) become uncoupled in the corresponding [4+4] photocycloaddition product (OFF state), as substantiated from both experimental and theoretical studies. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Unsymmetrically Substituted Bis(phosphino)Ferrocenes Triggering Through-Space 31(P, P′)-Nuclear Spin Couplings and Encapsulating Coinage Metal Cations

2021

International audience; We describe unsymmetrically substituted di-tert-butylated 1,1'-bis(phosphino)ferrocenes, with phosphino substituents R = [5-methyl]-2-furyl = Fu, and R' = phenyl (4a), i-propyl (4b). A modular synthetic approach was applied from the di-tert-butylated ferrocene platform (1), which lead to the formation of new diphosphines by using 1,1'bis(diiodo)-3,3'-bis(tert-butyl)ferrocene (2) as synthetic precursor. In contrast to the cousin non-alkylated unsymmetrically substituted diphosphino-ferrocenes which were reported up to now, these diphosphines showed strong (31 P, P')nonbonded (" ug-p e") nuclear spin-spin coupling. The strength of such internuclear spin-spin coupling c…

X-ray, conformation and electronic structures of 1-nitropyrrolidine

2016

Abstract The chemistry of pyrrolidine compounds has drawn much attention because of their biological activities. The crystal and molecular structure of 1-nitropyrrolidine (C4H8NNO2) at 150K, along with calculated structures (DFT and MP2), are reported herein. In the solid-state, the asymmetric part of the unit cell is composed of one quartermolecule at the position of two perpendicular mirror planes and the five-membered ring is disordered over a mirror plane, revealing the twisted conformation. Both geometries suggest slight sp3 hybridization of the amine nitrogen atom. The non-planar geometry suggests the lack of conjugation of the amine nitrogen lone pair with the nitro group, however th…

Planar Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene Derivatives Decorated with Nitronyl and Imino Nitroxides

2018

Four weakly antiferromagnetic interacting biradicals of benzo[1,2- b:4,5- b']dithiophene (BDT) and BDT extended with two thiophenes (BDTTh2) linked with nitronyl and imino nitroxides (NN and IN) as BDT-NN, BDT-IN, BDTTh2-NN, and BDTTh2-IN were designed, synthesized, and characterized. Short intermolecular π-π distances were found (3.42 A) for BDT-NN, whereas larger ones were found for BDT-IN (3.54 A) and BDTTh2-NN (3.67 A), respectively. Intramolecular magnetic interaction ( Jintra,exp/ kB) of BDT-NN (-26 K) is much larger than for BDT-IN (-5.3 K), while it is reduced for the dithiophene-extended molecule BDTTh2-NN (-2.3 K). Intermolecular interactions ( zJinter,exp/ kB) of BDT-NN (-6.5 K) …

Organotin(IV) derivatives containing heteroditopic pyridyl-quinolin-8-olate ligands: Synthesis and structures

2021

Abstract Six novel neutral organotin(IV) complexes, viz. [n-Bu2Sn(L4-PyAQ)2] 1, [Bz2Sn(L4-PyAQ)2] 2, [Ph2Sn(L4-PyAQ)2] 3, [Ph2Sn(L3-PyAQ)2] 4, [Bz3Sn(L4-PyAQ)] 5 and [Ph3Sn(L4-PyAQ)] 6 have been synthesized via reactions of 3/4-pyridyl-quinolin-8-ol pro-ligands, with appropriate diorganotin oxide and triorganotin hydroxide precursors, respectively. The compounds 1-6 were characterized in solution by means of NMR spectroscopy while the solid-state structures of 1, 6, and of the solvates 2·1.5C6H6, 3·0.25C6H6, 2·4·C6H6, and 5·0.5H2O were authenticated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the solid-state, the tin centers in 1-2·4·C6H6 are hexacoordinated and reveal a distorted cis-…

A rare polymeric azido-bridged copper(II) chain with a pentameric repeating unit: Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties

2013

International audience; The novel polymeric chain copper(II) complex [Cu4(μ-Mesalpn)2(μ1,1,1-N3)2(μ1,1-N3)2Cu]n (1) was prepared by the reaction of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O with Mesalpn in the presence of an excess of NaN3. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study showed an unusual 1D polymeric chain based on pentanuclear Cu5 units with both μ1,1,1-N3 and μ1,1-N3 bridges, and with three independent Cu(II) ions presenting three different coordination numbers (4, 5 and 6). The magnetic susceptibility data show the presence of dominant anti-ferromagnetic interactions.
