The electrochemical oxidation of thorium into solutions of halogen (X2; X = Cl, Br) in acetonitrile yields the adducts ThX4•4CH3CN in good yield. With solutions of X2 + R4NX, the products are (R4N)2ThX6. Neutral chelate complexes such as Th(acac)4 (acac = 2,4-pentanedionate) can also be prepared in a one-step synthesis from the metal, but cationic complexes could not be obtained by electrochemical methods.

The cadmium β-diketonate complexes Cd(RCOCHCOR′)2 (R = CH3, R′ = CH3; R = CF3 R′ = CH3, i-C3H7, i-C4H9, t-C4H9, C6H5, 2-naphthyl) can be prepared in good yield by the direct room temperature electrochemical oxidation of the metal into a solution of the parent diketone in acetonitrile. Adducts of the type Cd(RCOCHCOR′)2L (L = 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) can be prepared insitu, or by subsequent addition of the ligand to the electrolytic solution. X-ray studies show that the molecular structure of both Cd(acac)2phen and Cd(CF3COCHCOC6H5)2phen is based on a CdO4N2 kernel, distorted from octahedral stereochemistry by the bite of the ligands.

Electrochemical oxidation of titanium, zirconium, or hafnium(IV) in the presence of a solution of chlorine or bromine (X) in acetonitrile (L) leads to direct synthesis of MX4L2 species in good yield. These compounds are easily transformed into other neutral adducts. On addition of tetraalkylammonium salts to the solution phase, the products are the salts (R4N)MCl5 or (R4N)2MBr6, except that with titanium Et4NTiBr4 was also formed under some conditions. The advantages of this method are discussed, and a possible reaction mechanism proposed.

Dialkyldithiocarbamate derivatives (R2NCS2)nM of a number of metals (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag, Zn, Cd, In, Tl) have been synthesised in good yield by electrochemical oxidation of appropriate sacrificial anodes in non-aqueous solutions of either the corresponding tetraalkylthiuram disulphide (R2NCS2)2 (R = Me, Et) or a mixture of carbon disulphide plus the secondary amine R2NH (R = Et, i-Pr; R2NH = piperidine). Similar experiments with solutions of (EtO)2P(S)SH (= HL) gave MLn•derivatives (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Hg, Ga, In, Tl) while in the presence of HL + 1,10-phenanthroline, MLn•phen derivatives were obtained for M = V, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, and Ga.

The electrochemical oxidation of a sacrificial metal anode (M = Zn, Cd, Cu) in an acetonitrile solution of 2-hydroxy-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone, lapachol, C15H14O3 (=HL) gives ML2. The results are in keeping with earlier work on direct electrochemical synthesis in related systems. Adducts with 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine (tmen) have also been prepared. The structure of the 2,2′-bipyridine adduct of Cu(lapacholate)2 has been established by X-ray crystallography. The parameters are triclinic, space group [Formula: see text], a = 12.748(59) Å, b = 13.859(49) Å, c = 11.770(59) Å, α = 108.30(4)°, β = 108.08(3)°, γ = 68.94(3)°, Z = 2, R = 0.059 for 2256 unique reflections. The copper atom is in a distorted CuN2O2O2′ environment. The mechanism of the formation of this Cu(lapacholate)2 is discussed. Keywords: electrochemical synthesis, lapachol, X-ray crystallography, copper(II) complex.

The electrochemical oxidation of titanium, zirconium, or hafnium (= M) in a cell containing an organic halicie RX results in the formation of an organometallic halide of the metal concerned. These compounds are conveniently isolated as adducts of acetonitrile or 2,2′-bipyridine(bipy) also présent in the electrolyte phase. The products most commonly isolated are the [Formula: see text], but other species were obtained in certain cases. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed.
