Hypervalent tin-organic compounds: Vibrational spectroscopy in the solid as a tool for structure determination

1997

Abstract A full set of IR- and Raman spectra down from 600 cm1 has been determined and assigned for 60 penta- or hexacoordinated tin-compounds in the groups RSn(CH2CH2CH2)3N (R = Cl, Br, I, Me), RR'Sn(MCH2CH2)2X (R,R′ = Cl, Br, I, Me, Ph, M = CH2 S; X = NMe, O, S), RPh2SnCH2CH2CH2NMe2 (R = Cl, Br, I) and RMe2Sn—CHD—COOMe (R = F, Cl, Br, I, Me). In these hypervalent compounds an approach of the donor atom X to the central atom tin outlines a ‘path’ of nucleophilic attack from a tetrahedron to a trigonal bipyramid. Along this ‘reaction path’ the bond lengths of the axial ligand increase continuously while the bond lengths of the equatorial ligands slightly decrease. The number of similar hype…

3D-transition metal mono-substituted Keggin polyoxotungstate with an antenna molecule: synthesis, structure and characterization

2008

Three new organic-inorganic hybrid complexes based on 3d-transition metal monosubstituted Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) with imidazole (Im) as pendant ligands, formulated as (HIm)(6-)[SiW11O39NiIm]0.8[SiW11O39Ni(H2O)]0.2.7H2O (1), (Im)4Na6[SiW11O39MnIm]0.69[SiW11O39Mn(H2O)]0.31.7.5H2O (2) and (HIm)6[SiW11O39CoIm]0.63[SiW11O39Co(H2O)]0.37.7H2O (3), have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, elemental analysis, TG analysis, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic properties, EPR and single-crystal/powder X-ray diffraction. The structural analyses indicate that the 3d metal atoms are incorporated into the vacancy of the alpha-[SiW11O39](8-) (SiW11). Complexes 1-…

Paramagnetic aluminium β-diketiminate

2012

The β-diketiminate ligand framework is shown to undergo reduction to form a neutral main group radical stabilized by spiroconjugation of the unpaired electron over the group 13 element centre. The synthesized paramagnetic complex was characterized by EPR spectroscopy and computational chemistry.

Electrochemistry of copper complexes with polyaza[n]paracyclophanes. Influence of ATP as an exogen ligand on the relative stability of the Cu(II) and…

2000

Abstract Interaction of Cu 2+ with the macrocycle 2,6,9,13-tetraaza[14]paracyclophane (L) and ATP has been followed by pH-metric titration, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Mixed adduct species with various degrees of protonation were found to be stable for pH>4. In neutral and alkaline media reduction of mixed complexes occurs in a two-electron quasi-reversible step in contrast with binary Cu 2+ L complexes which display two successive one-electron couples. The potentiometric and voltammetric data suggest that in ternary adducts ATP binds to Cu 2+ ions through the phosphate chain and one N-site of the adenine ring system.

An Iron-Based Molecular Redox Switch as a Model for Iron Release from Enterobactin via the Salicylate Binding Mode

2001

The iron release mechanism from protonated ferric enterobactin [Fe(III)(enterobactinH(3))] via the salicylate binding mode was probed. For this purpose, a tripodal dodecadentate ligand incorporating three salicylamide (OO) and three bipyridine (NN) binding sites was synthesized as well as iron complexes thereof. It was shown that a ferric ion coordinates selectively to the hard salicylamides and a ferrous ion binds to the softer bipyridines. Upon reduction or oxidation, the iron translocates reversibly and intramolecularly from one site to the other, thus displaying switchlike properties. Both states were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and visible and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Mössba…

Self-Assembly of a Copper(II)-Based Metallosupramolecular Hexagon

2008

The self-assembly of a 1:1 mixture of copper(II) ions and a rigid heteroditopic ligand L containing phen and terpy binding units gives rise in the solid state to green crystals of a hexanuclear metallamacrocycle 1. X-ray crystallography reveals that 1 consists of molecular hexagons of the grid-type family in which each metal ion is bound to two different ligands through the phen and terpy units, plus a weakly coordinated PF6 (-) anion in a highly distorted octahedral geometry. ES-MS studies of acetonitrile solutions of L and copper(II) in a 1:1 ratio show mixtures of polynuclear complexes in which trinuclear L3Cu3 species are predominant.

Photophysical Properties of Oligo(phenylene ethynylene) Iridium(III) Complexes Functionalized with Metal-Anchoring Groups

2016

[EN] The electrochemical and photophysical properties of a family of conjugated ligands and their iridium(III) cyclometallated complexes are described. They consist of a series of monocationic Ir-III bis-2-phenylpyridine complexes with p-phenylethynyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligands of different length. The structure of these ligands includes terminal acetylthiol or pyridine groups, which can provide good electrical contacts between metal electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry, absorption and emission spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis and density functional theory calculations reveal that the high conjugation of the diimine ligand affords small energy gaps between the frontier orbitals. Nevertheless…
