The electrochemical oxidation of gallium in a cell containing a solution of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (H2dbc) in a mixture of liquid ammonia and diethyl ether gives rise to the complex Ga(dbqdi)2, where dbqdi is a tridentate ligand formed by the condensation of two molecules of H2dbc and ammonia. The same paramagnetic molecule can be prepared by treating GaCl3 with H2dbc in ethanol with concentrated aqueous ammonia, with subsequent aerial oxidation. The crystal parameters are triclinic, space group P[Formula: see text], a = 11.6140(8), b = 12.3415(9), c = 20.765(1) Å, α = 89.491(1)°, β = 74.287(1)°, γ = 75.748(1)°, Z = 2, and R = 0.0542 for 7578 unique reflections. The structure, which is based on a GaO4N2 kernel, is discussed on the basis of crystallographic and ESR results.Key words: gallium, electrochemical synthesis, electron spin resonance, X-ray crystallography.

Reaction of the tetracarbonyl species [M(CO)2(µ-mtz)]2 (M = Rh, Ir; mtz = 2-mercaptothiazolinate) with 1 equivalent of the diphosphines (Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2; n = 1 (dppm), 2 (dppe)) yields the compounds [M2(CO)2(µ-L)(µ-mtz)2] (M = Rh, L = dppm (1), dppe (3); M = Ir, L = dppm (2)), which readily undergo oxidative addition of iodine to give [M2I2(CO)2(µ-L)(µ-mtz)2] (M = Rh, L = dppm (4), dppe (6); M = Ir, L = dppm (5)). When 2 equivalents of dppm are used, the A-frame compounds [M2(CO)2(η1-mtz)(µ-mtz)(dppm)2] (M = Rh (7), Ir (8)) are afforded. In solution the dangling mtz group of 7 undergoes exchange with both the free mtz anion and the bridging mtz ligand. Compounds 7 and 8 are also produced by treatment of trans-[MCl(CO)(dppm)]2 (M = Rh, Ir) with 2 equivalents of the mtz anion. Reaction of these dppm-bridged dichloro species with 1 equivalent of the mtz anion yields [M2Cl(CO)2(µ-mtz)(dppm)2] (M = Rh (9a), Ir (10)). Compound 9a undergoes reversible Cl− dissociation to give [Rh2(CO)2(µ-mtz)(dppm)2][Cl] (9b), which is also the stable form in the solid. Reaction of 9 with CO gives the carbonyl-bridged species [Rh2(CO)2(µ-CO)(µ-mtz)(dppm)2][Cl]. The structures of 6 and 9b have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Compound 6 crystallizes in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text] with one-half equivalent of THF per asymmetric unit in a cell having a = 9.856(3) Å, b = 14.078(6) Å, c = 16.245(5) Å, α = 103.66(3)°, β = 93.21(3)°, γ = 92.91(3)°, V = 2182(1) Å3, and Z = 2, and has refined to R = 0.045 and Rw = 0.057 on the basis of 433 parameters varied. Compound 9b crystallizes with one equivalent of CH2Cl2 in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 11.400(1) Å, b = 21.944(2) Å, c = 22.134(1) Å, β = 92.494(7)°, V = 5532(1) Å3, and Z = 4, and has refined to R = 0.062 and Rw = 0.082 on the basis of 613 parameters varied.

In a systematic search for supramolecular complexes involving all combinations of the cyclic polyethers 12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C 5), 18-crown-6 (18C 6) and dibenzo- 18-crown-6 (DB -18C6), and the geminal di- or trisulfones H2C(SO 2Me)2, H2C (SO2Et)2 and HC (SO2Me)3-n (SO2Et)n (n = 0 -3 ) , only the following four complexes could be isolated and unequivocally characterized by elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy: [(12C4){H2C (SO2Et)2}2] (3), [(18C6){H2C (S O2Me)2}] (4), [(DB -18C 6){H2C (SO2Et)2}] (5) and [(D B -18C 6)2{HC (SO2Me )(SO2Et)2}3] (6). The structure of 3 (triclinic, space group P1̄) consists of crystallographically centrosymmetric formula units, in which the disulfone molecules are bonded on each side of the ring by two C -H ··· O(crown) interactions originating from the central methylene group (H···O 213 pm) and from the methylene group of one EtSO2 moiety ( H ··· O 237 pm). Formula units related by translation are connected into parallel strands by a third type of reciprocal C -H ···O bond (H ···O 232 pm) between the second H atom of the central methylene group and a sulfonyl oxygen atom of the adjacent unit. The structure of 4 (monoclinic, space group C2/c) showed severe disorder of the crown ether and could not be refined satisfactorily. Compounds 5 and 6 crystallized as long and extremely thin fibres, indicative of linear-polymeric supramolecular structures; single crystals for X-ray crystallography were not available.

AbstractTreatment of [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2 with one equivalent of chlorodiphenylphosphine in tetrahydrofuran at reflux afforded a neutral complex [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2(κ1-P-PPh2OH)] (1). Similarly, the reaction of [Ru(bpy)2Cl2·2H2O] (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) and chlorodiphenylphosphine in methanol gave a cationic complex [Ru(bpy)2Cl(κ1-P-PPh2OCH3)](PF6) (2), while treatment of [RuCl2(PPh3)3] with [2-(C5H4N)CH=N(CH2)2N(CH3)2] (L1) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature afforded a ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(PPh3)Cl2(κ3-N,N,N-L1)] (3). Interaction of the chloro-bridged complex [Ru(CO)2Cl2]n with one equivalent of [Ph2P(o-C6H4)CH=N(CH2)2N(CH3)2] (L2) led to the isolation of [Ru(CO)Cl2(κ3-P,N,N-L2)] (4). The molecular structures of the ruthenium(II) complexes 1–4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The properties of the ruthenium(II) complex 4 as a hydrogenation catalyst for acetophenone were also tested.

( E)-4-[2-(Pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]benzaldehyde, containing both a 4-vinylpyridine and an aldehyde functionality, is utilized to develop new, highly conjugated chalcone compounds and a bis-Schiff base azine compound. The chalcone-containing compounds are further explored for their protonation, methylation and silver(I) coordination chemistry using the pyridine moiety. In parallel, a cyano-containing analogue, ( E)-4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]benzonitrile is also synthesized and studied for its silver(I) coordination chemistry. These new compounds are fully characterized by mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. The methylated product of ( E)-1-(9-anthryl)-3-{4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]phenyl}prop-2-en-1-one and a silver complex of ( E)-4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]benzonitrile are structurally determined by X-ray crystallography.

AbstractSynthesis and structural characterization of two heterodinuclear ZnII-LnIII complexes with the formula [ZnLn(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)x(MeOH)1-x]NO3 · n H2O · n MeOH [Ln = Pr (1), Nd (2)] and the crystal and molecular structure of [ZnNd(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)] [ZnNd(HL)(OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)](NO3)2 · n H2O · n MeOH (3) are reported. The asymmetrical compartmental ligand (E)-2-(1-(2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)-ethyl)imidazolidin-2-yl)-6-methoxyphenol (H2L) is formed from N1,N3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (H2valdien) through intramolecular aminal formation, resulting in a peripheral imidazoline ring. The structures of 1–3 were revealed by X-ray crystallography. The smaller ZnII ion occupies the inner N2O2 compartment of the ligand, whereas the larger and more oxophilic LnIII ions are found in the outer O2O2’ site. Graphic Abstract Synthesis and structural characterization of two heterodinuclear ZnII-LnIII complexes (Ln = Pr, Nd) bearing an asymmetrical compartmental ligand formed in situ from N1,N3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (H2valdien) through intramolecular aminal formation are reported.

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.

Abstract9-Bromo-7,12-dihydroindolo[3,2-d][1]benzazepin-6-ylhydrazine was reacted with 2-acetylpyridine to give a Schiff base as a potential tridentate ligand. The reaction of this ligand with gallium chloride afforded complexes of 1:1 and 2:1 stoichiometry. The results of X-ray diffraction studies of the ligand and both gallium complexes are reported and compared with the data for a related gallium complex with a Schiff base obtained from 9-bromo-7,12-dihydroindolo[3,2-d][1]benzazepin-6-ylhydrazine and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde.
