[Fe(TPT)(2/3){M(I)(CN)2}2]⋅nSolv (M(I) = Ag, Au): new bimetallic porous coordination polymers with spin-crossover properties.
2013
Two new heterobimetallic porous coordination polymers with the formula [Fe(TPT)2/3{MI(CN)2}2]¿nSolv (TPT=[(2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine]; MI=Ag (nSolv=0, 1¿MeOH, 2¿CH2Cl2), Au (nSolv=0, 2¿CH2Cl2)) have been synthesized and their crystal structures were determined at 120¿K and 293¿K by single-crystal X-ray analysis. These structures crystallized in the trigonal R-3m space group. The FeII ion resides at an inversion centre that defines a [FeN6] coordination core. Four dicyanometallate groups coordinate at the equatorial positions, whilst the axial positions are occupied by the TPT ligand. Each TPT ligand is centred in a ternary axis and bridges three crystallographically equivalent Fe…
Superoxide dismutase activity of ternary copper complexes of sulfathiazole and imidazole derivatives. Synthesis and properties of [CuL2(R-Him)2] [HL=…
2000
Abstract New ternary copper(II) complexes of sulfathiazole (4-amino-N-(thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide)(HL) and methyl imidazole derivatives have been synthesised and characterised. The crystal structure of the complex [CuL2(4,4-dmHim)2] (1) [4,4-dmHim=4,4-dimethylimidazoline] has been determined. The copper centre has a quasi regular square planar environment with Cu-nitrogen bond lengths ranging from 1.952 to 2.010 A. From the spectroscopic properties of the complexes [CuL2(1,2-dmHim)2] (2) [1,2-dmHim=1,2-dimethylimidazole] and [CuL2(4-mHim)2] (3) [4-mHim=4-methylimidazole] a distorted tetragonal octahedral geometry is deduced. The compounds showed SOD mimetic activity in fact, a low conc…
The Importance of Electronic Dimensionality in Multiorbital Radical Conductors.
2019
The exceptional performance of oxobenzene-bridged bis-1,2,3-dithiazolyls 6 as single-component neutral radical conductors arises from the presence of a low-lying π-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, which reduces the potential barrier to charge transport and increases the kinetic stabilization energy of the metallic state. As part of ongoing efforts to modify the solid-state structures and transport properties of these so-called multiorbital materials, we report the preparation and characterization of the acetoxy, methoxy, and thiomethyl derivatives 6 (R = OAc, OMe, SMe). The crystal structures are based on ribbonlike arrays of radicals laced together by S···N' and S···O' secondary bondin…
Dinitrogen complexation with main group radicals
2011
In this report we present data from hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy (HYSCORE), an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic technique, that reveals weak but distinct interactions between several main group element radicals and physically dissolved dinitrogen in solution. These interactions are the basis for a well-defined coordination of N2 to the paramagnetic centers. The complexes formed are primarily of the van der Waals-type but also feature a non-negligible orbital overlap between dinitrogen and the radicals' SOMO. Our spectroscopic findings are strongly supported by experiments with isotope-labeled 15N2, spectral simulations and quantum chemical and density funct…
Valence Topological Charge-Transfer Indices for Reflecting Polarity: Correction for Heteromolecules
2005
Valence topological charge-transfer (CT) indices are applied to the calculation of dipole moments mu. The mu calculated by algebraic and vector semisums of the CT indices are defined. The model is generalized for molecules with heteroatoms and corrected for sp(3)-heteromolecules. The ability of the indices for the description of the molecular charge distribution is established by comparing them with mu of the valence-isoelectronic series of cyclopentadiene, benzene and styrene. Two CT indices, mu(vec) (vector semisum of vertex-pair mu) and mu(vec)V (valence mu(vec)) are proposed. The mu(vec) behaviour is intermediate between mu(vec) and mu(experiment). The correction is produced in the corr…
EPR spectroscopic characterization of persistent germyl-substituted Pb(III)- and Sn(III)-radicals.
2010
In this report we present the synthesis and the detailed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic characterization of novel trivalent lead- and tin-based radicals comprising sterically demanding germyl substituents. The investigated radicals are derived from the recently reported trihypersilyl-substituted tetryl radicals *PbHyp3 and *SnHyp3. The tetryl radicals *Pb(Ge(SiMe3)3)3 (8), *Pb(Ge(SiMe3)3)2Si(SiMe3)3 (9), *PbGe(SiMe3)3(Si(SiMe3)3)2 (10), and *Sn(Ge(SiMe3)3)3 (11) show substitution patterns derived from stepwise (9, 10) or complete (8, 11) substitution of hypersilyl groups (Hyp = Si(SiMe3)3) in *PbHyp3 and *SnHyp3 by homologous hypergermyl groups (Hge = Ge(SiMe3)3). They …
Gold(I) Complexes of Ferrocenyl Polyphosphines: Aurophilic Gold Chloride Formation and Phosphine-Concerted Shuttling of a Dinuclear [ClAu···AuCl] Fra…
2016
International audience; A smart steric control of the metallocene backbone in bis- and poly(phosphino)ferrocene ligands favors intramolecular aurophilic interactions between [AuCl] fragments in polynuclear gold(I) complexes. We synthesized and characterized by multinuclear NMR and X-ray diffraction analysis mono-, di-, and polynuclear gold complexes of constrained ferrocenyl diphosphines, which bear either bulky tert-butyl groups or more flexible siloxane substituents at the cyclopentadienyl rings. The complexes meso-1,1'-bis-(diphenylphosphino)-3,3'-di-tert-butylferrocene (4-m), rac-1,1'-bis[bis-(5-methy1-2-furyl)phosphino]-3,3'-di-tert-butyfferrocene (5-r), and rac-1,1'-bis ( diphenylphos…
Azide Binding Controlled by Steric Interactions in Second Sphere. Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Magnetic Properties of [Ni II 2 (L)(μ 1,1 -N 3 )]…
2016
International audience; The dinuclear Ni-II complex [Ni-2(L-2)][ClO4](2) (3) supported by the 28-membered hexaaza-dithiophenolate macro-cycle (L-2)(2-) binds the N-3(-) ion specifically end-on yielding [Ni-2(L-2)(mu(1,1)-N-3)] [ClO4] (7) or [Ni-2(L-2)(mu(1,1)-N-3)][BPh4] (8), while the previously reported complex [Ni2L1(mu(1,3)-N-3)][ClO4] (2) of the 24-membered macrocycle (L-1)(2-) coordinates it in the end-to-end fashion. A comparison of the X-ray structures of 2, 3, and 7 reveals the form-selective binding of complex 3 to be a consequence of its preorganized, channel-like binding pocket, which accommodates the azide anion via repulsive CH center dot center dot center dot pi interactions …
G2(MP2) molecular orbital study of the substituent effect in the H3BPH3−nFn (n=0–3) donor–acceptor complexes
2000
Abstract The complexation energies of H3BPH3−nFn (n=0–3) and the proton affinities of PH3−nFn compounds have been investigated at the G2(MP2) level of theory. G2(MP2) results show that the successive fluorine substitution on the phosphine increases the stability of H3BPH3−nFn complexes although the basicity of the PH3−nFn ligands reduces with this substitution. The NBO partitioning scheme shows that this stability was related to the hyperconjugation effect. It proves also that the shortening of the P–H and P–F bond lengths, upon complexation, is due to an increasing `s' character in these bonds.
