Bis(4-methylthio)phenylthiomethane as assembling ligand for the construction of Cu(I) and Hg(II) coordination polymers. Crystal structures and topolo…

2016

International audience; The novel 1D coordination polymer (CP) [{Cu(mu(2)-Br)(2)Cu}(mu-L2)(2)] CP2 has been obtained by reaction of the tetrakisthioether p-MeSC6H4SCH2SC6H4SMe-p (L2) with CuBr in a 1: 2 metal-to ligand ratio. In contrast to the previously described CP [{Cu(mu(2)-Br)(2)Cu}(mu-L1)(2)] CP1 obtained by reaction of the tetrakisthioether p-MeOC6H4SCH2SC6H4OMe-p (L1) with CuBr, the two independent extended 1D ribbons contain bent Cu(mu(2)-Br)(2)Cu units of the butterfly-type with short Cu center dot center dot center dot Cu separations of 2.679(1) and 2.613(1) angstrom. In contrast to the common planar rhomboid Cu(mu(2)-Br)(2)Cu cluster, this butterfly-shaped geometry of the core …

Cu Polyimidazole Thioether Complexes : Comparison of RDF's Reconstructed from XAFS and XRD Data

1997

Radial distribution functions (RDF) reconstructed from XAFS data (Cu K-edge at low and room temperatures) are compared with RDF's constructed from XRD crystallographic data of Cu polyimidazole thioether complexes. New EDA software package possibilities are used to reconstruct RDFs: (i) model independent RDF reconstruction, and (ii) multi shell - cumulant fitting. RDF's obtained from XRD data are broadened with Debye Waller factors calculated from XAFS. This way the structural disorder (set of distances) and thermal (vibrational) disorder are quantitatively taken into account in each RDF reconstruction approach. Within experimental error the three sets of RDF'S agree well with each other for…

Reinvestigation of the Pd-catalysed bis(silylation) of alkynes with 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1,2-bis(phenylthiomethyl)disilane: Unexpected formation of th…

2013

International audience; The bis(silylated) alkenes Z-(PhSCH2)Me2SiC(H)=C(Fc)SiMe2(CH2SPh) (2) and Z-(PhSCH2)Me2SiC(H)=C(bipheny)SiMe2(CH2SPh) (3) have been prepared by Pd-catalysed double silylation of ethynylferrocene and 4-ethynyl-1,1'-biphenyl in the presence of 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1,2-bis(phenylthiomethyl)disilane (1). A reinvestigation on the interaction of 1 with [PdCl2(PhCN)2] in technical-grade CH2Cl2 as solvent revealed competition between reduction to elemental palladium (due to oxidative addition of the Si-Si bond across Pd(II) and subsequent reductive elimination) and formation of an unusual eight-membered chelate complex cis-[PdCl2{(PhSCH2SiMe2)2O}] (4), which is fluxional in s…

A Discrete P⋅⋅⋅II⋅⋅⋅P Assembly: The Large Influence of Weak Interactions on the31P NMR Spectra of Phosphane–Diiodine Complexes

2006

Thioethers, except derivatives of [7-R-7,8-C2B9H11] , are more weakly coordinating ligands than phosphanes. This difference is evidenced by the I I distances in the spokeshaped charge-transfer (CT) complexes R2S·I2 and R3P·I2 (Figure 1). The I I distance is sensitive to the strength of the interaction between the s* LUMO orbital on I2 and the HOMO orbital of the donor atom: the stronger the donor, the longer the I I distance. In these spoke CT complexes, the I I distance varies from 3.2 0.2 7 in R3P·I2 adducts [5] to 2.80 0.05 7 in R2S·I2 adducts, [6] indicating the weaker donor character of the thioether group. Whereas extended I2 arrays, spoke adducts of I2, polyiodides, and other structu…

Mono- and di-nuclear 2,3-diazabutadiene and 2-azabutadiene complexes of Rhenium(I): Syntheses, luminescence spectra and X-ray structures

2008

Abstract Treatment of [Re(CO)3(THF)(μ-Br)]2 with 4,4-dichloro-1,1-diphenyl-2-azabuta-1,3-diene [Cl2C C(H)–N CPh2] (1a) yields the di-nuclear benzophenone azine-bridged compound [(OC)3Re(μ-Ph2C N–N CPh2)(μ-Br)2Re(CO)3] (2a), albeit in low yield. Alternatively, compounds [(OC)3Re(μ-Ph2C N–N CPh2)(μ-X)2Re(CO)3] (2a,b) (X = Br, Cl) are obtained in high yields by direct reaction of [Re(CO)3(THF)(μ-Br)]2 or [Re(CO)5Cl] with benzophenone azine. Nucleophilic attack of NaSPh on 1a affords the 2-azabutadiene derivative [(PhS)(Cl)C C(H)–N CPh2] (1b), which upon reaction with [Re(CO)3(THF)(μ-Br)]2 forms the S,N-chelate complex fac-[(OC)3ReBr{(PhS)(Cl)C C(H)–N CPh2}] (3). The crystal structures of 1b, 2…

(2,2‐Dibromovinyl)ferrocene as a Building Block for the Assembly of Heterodinuclear Complexes – Preparation of an σ‐Alkenylpalladium Complex and Dime…

2007

The oxidative addition of (2,2-dibromovinyl)ferrocene [Br2C=C(H)–Fc] (1) to [Pd(PPh3)4] yields the heterodinuclear σ-alkenyl complex trans-[{Pd(Br)(PPh3)2}–C(Br)=C(H)–Fc] (2). Nucleophilic attack of sodium thiolates on 1 unexpectedly affords the vinyl thioether derivatives (Z)-[(RS)(H)C=C(H)–Fc] (4a: R = Ph; 4b: R = tBu; 4c: R = Et). Complexes 4a and 4c can also be prepared by addition of NaSR across the triple bond of Fc–C≡C–H (3). Addition of an excess of NaSR to 1 affords the dithioether derivatives (Z)-[(RS)(H)C=C(SR)–Fc] (5a: R = Ph; 5b: R = p-tolyl; 5c: R = Et). An addition/elimination sequence is suggested to account for this surprising result. The yield of 5c is very low due to a co…

Spectral and structural insights of copper reduction pathways in the system of CuX2-R2S (X=Cl, Br; R=allyl, n-propyl)

2021

Abstract We have explored the behaviour of Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox couple in the system CuX2-R2S, X = Cl, Br; R = allyl, n-propyl, under anhydrous and anaerobic conditions, thus simulating the reduction half cycle in the copper catalyzed oxidation of thioethers. In doing so, the Cl−Br substitution was critical for tuning the reduction potentials, while the replacement of propyl group by allyl group supported the trapping of oxidation by-product, halogen molecules. It was therefore possible to use the spectrophotometric titration, thereby providing information on the distribution of complex species in acetonitrile solution. The study showed that the trinuclear mixed−valence copper (I-II-II) aggre…

[CuII{(LISQ)˙−}2] (H2L: thioether-appended o-aminophenol ligand) monocation triggers change in donor site from N2O2 to N2O(2)S and valence-tautomerism

2019

Using a potentially tridentate o-aminophenol-based redox-active ligand H2L1 (2-[2-(benzylthio)phenylamino]-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol) in its deprotonated form, [Cu(L1)2] has been synthesized and crystallized as [CuII(L1)2]·CH2Cl2 (1·CH2Cl2). A cyclic voltammetry experiment (in CH2Cl2; V vs. SCE (saturated calomel electrode)) on 1·CH2Cl2 exhibits two oxidative (E = 0.20 V (peak-to-peak separation, ΔEp = 100 mV) and E = 0.90 V (ΔEp = 140 mV)) and two reductive (E = -0.52 V (ΔEp = 110 mV) and E = -0.92 V (ΔEp = 120 mV)) responses. Upon oxidation using a stoichiometric amount of [FeIII(η5-C5H5)2](PF6), 1·CH2Cl2 yielded [Cu(L1)2](PF6) (2). Structural analysis (100 K) reveals that 1·CH2Cl2 is a fou…

Structure and luminescence properties of supramolecular polymers of amphiphilic aromatic thioether–peptide conjugates in water

2019

We present the preparation of luminophore–peptide conjugates that self-assemble into supramolecular polymers in neutral buffer. To this end, we have prepared a small library of six conjugates with varying substitution patterns of the aromatic thioethers, as well as varying amino acid sequences. The latter have allowed us to tune the thermodynamic driving force for self-assembly and probe their photoluminescent properties either in the monomeric or polymeric state, while fully avoiding selective solvent techniques or organic solvent mixtures. All of the supramolecular structures were characterised with transmission electron microscopy, circular dichroism measurements, as well as steady-state…
