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…

The crystal structure of the solvated species of 2–4, namely (n-NBu4)4[Pd2(dpvba)2]·6MeOH·2Et2O (2a), (n-NBu4)4[Pd2(dpazba)2]·8MeOH (3a), and (n-NBu4)2[Pd2(dpeba)2…

Cis- and trans molybdenum oxo complexes of a prochiral tetradentate aminophenolate ligand : Synthesis, characterization and oxotransfer activity

2020

Abstract Reaction of [MoO2Cl2(dmso)2] with the tetradentate O2N2 donor ligand papy [H2papy = N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-(2-picolyl)glycine] leads to formation of the dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex [MoO2(papy)] (1) as a mixture of cis and trans isomers. Recrystallization from methanol furnishes solid cis-1, whereas the use of a dichloromethane-hexane mixture allows for the isolation of the trans-1 isomer. Both isomers have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography and the energy difference between the isomeric pair has been investigated by electronic structure calculations. Optimization of two configurational isomers in the gas phase predicts the trans isomer to lie 2.5 kcal/mol lower…

Versatile behavior of conjugated diynes with zirconocene reactive species

2008

Thermal decomposition of Cp2ZrPh2 in the presence of the buta-1,3-diynes RC≡CC≡CR (R = Ph, SiMe3) can lead to seven- or five-membered metallacycles. In both cases a stable benzo-fused seven-membered zirconacyclocumulene arising from a 2-fold insertion of the triple bonds of the dialkyne in the in situ generated zirconocene benzyne is formed. In the case of Me3SiC≡CC≡CSiMe3 a second minor complex is isolated: a 3-alkynyl-substituted zirconaindene arising from a β monoinsertion of one acetylenic function of the conjugated diyne in the zirconocene benzyne. No stable 2-alkynyl-substituted zirconacycle was isolated. This α monoinsertion complex is an intermediate in the exchange of the metalated…

Stepwise Construction of Heterobimetallic Cages by an Extended Molecular Library Approach.

2017

Two novel heterobimetallic complexes, a trigonal-bipyramidal and a cubic one, have been synthesized and characterized using the same C3-symmetric metalloligand, prepared by a simple subcomponent self-assembly strategy. Adopting the molecular library approach, we chose a mononuclear, preorganized iron(II) complex as the metalloligand capable of self-assembly into a trigonal-bipyramidal or a cubic aggregate upon coordination to cis-protected C2-symmetric palladium(II) or unprotected tetravalent palladium(II) ions, respectively. The trigonal-bipyramidal complex was characterized by NMR and UV–vis spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and single-crystal X-ray diffrac…

Fluorescence Quenching in BODIPYs Having Ir‐ and Rh‐Tethered Complexes

2016

The effect of Rh- and Ir-centers on the optical properties of the BODIPY core has been studied. To this end, novel metal complexes tethered to BODIPY have been prepared through an easy and versatile procedure using N-directed C–H activation reactions. The organometallic moiety has a tremendous influence on the emissive properties of the BODIPY fragment. A photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism is suggested to be the main mechanism responsible for the suppression of the BODIPY fluorescence emission in the newly formed dyads. The efficiency of the PET depends on both the distance between the chromophores in the dyad and the nature of the transition metal (Rh vs. Ir).

Bis(2-methylbenzimidazole-κN1)copper(I) dichlorocuprate(I)

2004

By using alternating-current electrochemical synthesis, crystals of the copper(I) ionic compound composed of [Cu(C8H8N2)2]+ and [CuCl2]− ions have been obtained and structurally investigated. Both crystallographically independent Cu atoms lie on centres of inversion and exhibit the less-common coordination number 2. A linear arrangement of the metal atoms includes two N atoms of the different organic moieties in the [Cu(2-methyl­benz­imidazole)2]+ cation and two Cl atoms in the case of the inorganic anion.

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…

Insight into the Mechanism of Water Adsorption/Desorption in Hydrophilic Viologen-Carboxylate Based PCP

2017

A water stable and highly hydrophilic porous coordination polymer based on viologen-carboxylate type ligand, the 4,4′-bipyridinium,1,1-bis(3-carboxyphenyl) (pc2), is obtained by the solvothermal method: [Cd3(pc2) (BTC)2(H2O)2]·6H2O ([1(H2O)2]·6H2O; BTC3– = 1,3,5-carboxybenzene). Its crystal structure and the ones of two partially dehydrated phases have been determined, allowing insight into the mechanism of water adsorption/desorption of this PCP material. It is shown that the dehydrated compound [1] first adsorbs two water molecules which fill the pores, leading to [1]·2H2O. On the other hand, the partial dehydration of the as-synthesized compound leads to the intermediate phase [1(H2O)]·3…
