Dicopper(II) pyrazolenophanes: Ligand effects on their structures and magnetic properties

2016

Abstract The use of simple pyrazolate anions and related polychelating acyclic or macrocyclic pyrazolate derivatives as bridging ligands, and occasionally additional blocking ligands, has led to the stereospecific Cu II -mediated self-assembly of both homo- and heteroleptic di-μ-pyrazolatodicopper(II) complexes of the metallacyclophane type, so-called dicopper(II) pyrazolenophanes. Besides their unique molecular conformation features and binding abilities toward both neutral molecules and charged anionic species, which have illustrated the putative role of weak intramolecular π–π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and coordinative interactions in the self-assembling process, dicopper(II) pyrazolen…

The separation of cis- and trans-1,3-cyclohexanediol isomers by copper complexation. Crystal structures of cis-1,3-cyclohexanediol and copper(II) chl…

2002

Abstract A 1:1 complex between copper(II) chloride and cis-1,3-cyclohexanediol has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined. The structure is composed of two different dinuclear [CuCl2(c-13chd)]2 units in which the copper(II) ions are surrounded by the two oxygen atoms of the diol and the two halide ions in a distorted cis-square planar arrangement in both cases. A fifth coordination site is occupied by a halide ion in one dinuclear unit for both copper ions and an O atom belonging to the adjacent CuCl2(c-13chd) moiety in the other dinuclear unit for both copper ions, thus forming a distorted square pyramidal geometry for the metals in all cases. The ability of CuCl2 to prefere…

Linking PO43− and HAsO42− anions with a dinuclear [ZnII2] complex: Formation and stabilization of novel decanuclear metallomacrocyclic [ZnII10] and t…

2017

The linkage of PO43- and HAsO42--anions with a newly synthesized five-coordinate dinuclear zinc complex, Zn-2(cpdp)(H2O)(2)]Cl (1) H(3)cpdp =N,N'-bis2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N,N'-bis2-pyridylmethyl]-1,3diamino propan-2-ol], has been explored. In methanol-water, the reaction of 1 with Na2HPO4 center dot 2H(2)O and Na2HAsO4 center dot 7H(2)O/NaBr separately, at ambient temperature, yielded the novel phosphate-bridged decanuclear zinc cluster, (H3O)(4)Zn-10(cPdP)(4)(mu(5)-PO4)(2)(H2O)(6)](6 center dot Cl)center dot 53H(2)O (2) and hydrogen arsenate bridged tetranuclear zinc cluster, Na-2Zn-4(cpdp)(2)(mu(4)-HAsO4)]ClBr center dot 13H(2)O (3), respectively. Analysis of the single crystal X-ray stru…

Abstract A family of tetra-n-butylammonium salts of bis(oxamato)palladate(II) complexes of formula (n-Bu4N)2[Pd(Lm)2]·pH2O [m = 1–9; L1 = N-phenyloxamate (pma) and p = 2 (1), L2 = N-2-methylphenyloxamate (2-Mepma) and p = 4 (2), L3 = N-4-methylphenyloxamate (4-Mepma) and p = 2 (3), L4 = N-2,3-dimethylphenyloxamate (2,3-Me2pma) and p = 3 (4), L5 = N-2,4-dimethylphenyloxamate (Me2pma) and p = 4 (5), L6 = N-2,5-dimethylphenyloxamate (2,5-Me2pma) and p = 7 (6), L7 = N-3,4-dimethylphenyloxamate (3,4-Me2pma) and p = 6 (7), L8 = N-3,5-dimethylphenyloxamate (3,5-Me2pma) and p = 5 (8)] have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods.

Scalable and Selective Preparation of 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethyl-2,2′-biphenol

2016

Biphenols are indispensable building blocks in ligand systems for organic catalysis. 3,3′5,5′-Tetramethyl-2,2′-biphenol is a particular versatile motif in different catalytic systems. We developed an easy to perform and scalable process to give access to large quantities of this important building block by the use of selenium dioxide, a common and readily available oxidizer.

Rational Synthesis of Chiral Metal-Organic Frameworks from Preformed Rodlike Secondary Building Units.

2017

The lack of rational design methodologies to obtain chiral rod-based MOFs is a current synthetic limitation that hampers further expansion of MOF chemistry. Here we report a metalloligand design strategy consisting of the use, for the first time, of preformed 1D rodlike SBUs (1) for the rational preparation of a chiral 3D MOF (2) exhibiting a rare eta net topology. The encoded chiral information on the enantiopure ligand is efficiently transmitted first to the preformed helical 1D building block and, in a second stage, to the resulting chiral 3D MOF. These results open new routes for the rational design of chiral rod-based MOFs, expanding the scope of these unique porous materials.

Modulation of the ordering temperature in anilato-based magnets

2019

Abstract Four new 2D honeycomb anilato-based ferrimagnets with Mn(II) and Cr(III) have been prepared and characterized. These compounds, formulated as (NBu4)[MnCr(C6O4X2)3(PhCHO)]·PhY (X/Y = Cl/H (1), Br/H (2), Cl/CHO (3) and Br/CHO (4) show that it is possible to include benzaldehyde as a co-ligand coordinated to the Mn(II) metal atom in these 2D ferrimagnets. This inclusion increases the coordination number of Mn(II) to seven resulting in a change in the ordering temperatures of these 2D ferrimagnets (from ca. 10–11 K to ca. 7 K). Here we show the role played by the additional benzaldehyde ligand and by the crystallization solvent molecules (benzene in 1 and 2 and benzaldehyde in 3 and 4)…

Ligand Noninnocence in Cobalt Dipyrrin–Bisphenols: Spectroscopic, Electrochemical, and Theoretical Insights Indicating an Emerging Analogy with Corro…

2019

Three cobalt dipyrrin-bisphenol (DPPCo) complexes with different meso-aryl groups (pentafluorophenyl, phenyl, and mesityl) were synthesized and characterized based on their electrochemistry and spectroscopic properties in nonaqueous media. Each DPPCo undergoes multiple oxidations and reductions with the potentials, reversibility, and number of processes depending on the specific solution conditions, the specific macrocyclic substituents, and the type and number of axially coordinated ligands on the central cobalt ion. Theoretical calculations of the compounds with different coordination numbers are given in the current study in order to elucidate the cobalt-ion oxidation state and the innoc…
