Intramolecular pi-stacking in a phenylpyrazole-based iridium complex and its use in light-emitting electrochemical cells.
2010
A novel iridium(III) complex, [Ir(dmppz)(2)pbpy][PF(6)] (Hdmppz = 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazole and pbpy = 6-phenyl-(2,2'-bipyridine)), is reported. The complex shows an intramolecular face-to-face pi-stacking between the phenyl ring of the dmppz ligand and the pendant phenyl of the pbpy ligand. This interaction provides a supramolecular cage formation that holds also in the excited states. Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) using the novel complex show extraordinary lifetimes of approximately 2000 h. The high stability is favored by the presence of pendant methyl groups on the dmppz ligands that hinder the entrance of water molecules rendering the degradation of the complex more d…
Preparative, structural, and electrochemical investigations on peralkylated niobocene dichlorides and difluorides
1994
CP(dagger)2NbCl2 (CP(dagger) = 175-C5Me4Et) (1b) was synthesized from NbCl5 and a slight excess of Cp(dagger)Li and NaBH4. Its electrochemical (2 e-, E1/2 = -1.6 V) and chemical reduction (2 equiv of Na/Hg) was studied showing that peralkylation of the Cp ligand facilitates two-electron reduction compared to less substituted CP2NbHal2 derivatives. The reduced solutions of CP*2NbCl2 (CP* = C5Me5) (1a) and of lb were shown by means of EPR spectroscopy to contain two new paramagnetic species 1A,B for which bent niobocene (A(Nb) = 100 G) and fulvene-like structures (A(Nb) = 55 G) are proposed. The high reduction potential of these species led in their reaction with HPF6 to the first stable difl…
Spin crossover in iron(II) complexes with ferrocene-bearing triazole-pyridine ligands.
2015
In the search for new multifunctional spin crossover molecular materials, here we describe the synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic and photomagnetic properties of the complexes trans-[Fe(Fctzpy)2(NCX)2]·CHCl3 where Fc-tzpy is the ferrocene-appended ligand 4-(2-pyridyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol- 1-ylferrocene, X = S (1) and X = Se (2). Both complexes display thermal- and light-induced (LIESST) spin crossover properties characterised by T1/2 = 85 and 168 K, ΔS = 55 and 66 J K−1 mol−1 , ΔH = 4.7 and 11.1 kJ mol−1 and TLIESST = 47 K and 39 K for 1 and 2 respectively. The crystal structure of 1 and 2 measured at 275 K is consistent with the iron(II) ion in the high-spin state while the crystal st…
Synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic characterization of the three-dimensional compound [Co2(cbut)(H2O) 3]n (H4cbut = 1,2,3,4- cyclobutanetetra…
2014
A novel cobalt(II) complex of formula [Co2(cbut)(H 2O)3]n (1) (H4cbut = 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid) has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and its crystal structure has been determined by means of synchrotron radiation and neutron powder diffraction. The crystal structure of 1 consists of layers of cobalt(II) ions extending in the bc-plane which are pillared along the crystallographic a-axis through the skeleton of the cbut 4- ligand. Three crystallographically independent cobalt(II) ions [Co(1), Co(2), and Co(3)] occur in 1. They are all six-coordinate with four carboxylate-oxygens [Co(1)-Co(3)] and two cis-[Co(1)] or trans-water molecules [Co(2) and Co(3)] buildin…
Probing optical and magnetic properties via subtle stereoelectronic effects in mononuclear DyIII-complexes
2021
Tapping into the secondary coordination environment of mononuclear DyIII-complexes leads to drastic changes in luminescence and magnetism. Visualization of effects induced by stereoelectronics on the opto-magnetic properties was achieved through subtle modifications in the ligand framework.
Unprecedented heptacopper(ii) cluster with body-centred anti-prismatic topology. Structure, magnetism and density functional study
2011
Using a (2-pyridyl)ethylamine-appended carboxylate ligand a new cluster [Cu(II)(7)(L)(4)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)(DMF)(2)][ClO(4)](4)·4H(2)O (1) [L(2-): N-{CH(2)CH(2)(2-pyridyl)}(CH(2)CH(2)CO(2))(2)] is synthesized, as a result of 'coordination-driven self-assembly'. The structure of 1 is unique and consists of a centrosymmetric carboxylato- and hydroxo-bridged heptanuclear copper(II) cation, with body-centred anti-prismatic topology. The four crystallographically independent copper(II) centres differ markedly in their coordination geometry. In addition to establishing cluster authenticity, the structural analysis of 1 discloses two notable features. The existence of {Cu(II)(3)(μ(3)-OH)}(5+) c…
Impact of the synergistic collaboration of oligothiophene bridges and ruthenium complexes on the optical properties of dumbbell-shaped compounds.
2012
The linear and non-linear optical properties of a family of dumbbell-shaped dinuclear complexes, in which an oligothiophene chain with various numbers of rings (1, 3, and 6) acts as a bridge between two homoleptic tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes, have been fully investigated by using a range of spectroscopic techniques (absorption and luminescence, transient absorption, Raman, and non-linear absorption), together with density functional theory calculations. Our results shed light on the impact of the synergistic collaboration between the electronic structures of the two chemical moieties on the optical properties of these materials. Experiments on the linear optical properties …
The structure of polymeric diaquo-di-μ-hydroxo-bis-μ-(nicotinato-N-oxide)-bis-μ-(nicotinato-N-oxide)tricopper(II)
1981
Abstract The new unusual polymeric copper(II) complex with nicotinate N-oxide (N-nicO), [Cu3(N-nicO)4(OH)2(H2O)2]n was prepared and its crystal and molecular structure was determined from three-dimensional X-ray diffraction data. The crystals belong to the triclinic space group P 1 (No. 2). The cell parameters are a = 7.881(9), b = 9.658(11), c = 10.368(12) A, α = 97.32(9), β = 110.38(9), γ = 109.53(9)°, V = 670(1) A3, dobs = 1.94 (dcalc = 2.02) and Z = 1. The structure was refined to a final R-value of 4.13%. The complex is a polymeric, linear chain along the c-axis, and its structure units are connected with each other through two N-oxide oxygen atoms. There are three copper atoms (Cu1, C…
Tantalocenehydridephosphorus chemistry.
2002
Abstract The aim of this paper is to look for a better knowledge of the behaviour of bent tantalocenes that bear hydrides, phosphorus PR2X (R=Me, Ph; X=H, lone pair) and cyclopentadienyl (Cp=C5H5, Cp′=C5H2tBu(Me)2, Cp*=C5Me5) ligands. An orbital control of regioselectivity of insertion of the PR2 phosphide fragment of chlorophosphines PR2Cl into the central TaH bond of trihydrides Cp2TaH3 leading to the formation of metallophosphonium cations is discussed. Neutralisation of cationic complexes with strong bases leads either to the Ta(V)–phosphide or to the Ta(III)–phosphine species depending on the nature of the cyclopentadienyl ligand; good electron donor Cp′ and Cp* rings favour the forma…
Synthesis, structure and biological properties of several binary and ternary complexes of copper(II) with ciprofloxacin and 1,10 phenanthroline
2009
In this study, a new binary complex [Cu(HCip) 2 ](NO 3 ) 2 · 6H 2 O ( 1 ) has been synthesized and then characterized by X-ray structure analyses. In this compound, each ciprofloxacin acts as a bidentate ligand resulting in a crystallographically planar configuration; the nitrate anions are located in apical positions with an axial distance significantly larger than the equatorial distances, which would be consistent with a very weak metal ion interaction due to the Jahn–Teller effect. In addition, both the synthesis and characterization of two new ternary complexes of ciprofloxacin–copper(II)–1,10-phenanthroline, [Cu(phen)(Cip)](NO 3 ) · 4H 2 O ( 2 ) and Cu(phen)(HCip)(NO 3 ) 2 · H 2 O (…
