The 3-deoxy-D-erythro-hexos-2-ulose bis(thiosemicarbazone) (LH2) acts as a tetradentate ligand with S2N2 donor sites to form a copper(II) chelate (Cu(II)L). The Cu K-edge X-ray absorption spectra analysis of a powdered sample revealed a square-planar S2N2 local coordination geometry with average Cu—N and Cu—S distances of 1.92 and 2.33 Å. The EXAFS and XANES spectra and the structural parameters of a DMF solution sample indicate the retention of the square-planar local structure of the Cu(II)S2N2 chromophore upon dissolution. Semiempirical PM3 calculations indicate that the structure of Cu(II)L with the copper(II) ion bound to the S2N2 donor set disposed in a square-planar geometry is the most favorable one (with the highest |ΔHf |). The formation constant (log Kf = 20.65 ± 0.06) of the neutral [CuL] species was calculated in 30% v/v dioxane-water and the protonation and deprotonation constants determined.Key words: bis(thiosemicarbazone), copper(II), chelate, structure, stability constant.

AbstractThe ligands 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzyl-(2-thiophene)methylimine (V) and 2-(diphenylphosphino) benzyl-(2-thiophene)ethylimine (VI) were prepared from 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde and thiophene amines with very good yields. An equimolar reaction of V and VI with either PdCl2(cod) (cod = cyclooctadiene) or PdClMe(cod) afforded palladium(II) complexes I–IV. The molecular structure of II was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The coordination geometry around the palladium atom exhibited distorted square planar geometry at the palladium centre. Complexes I, II, and IV were evaluated as catalysts for Heck coupling reactions of iodobenzene with methyl acrylate under mild reaction conditions; 0.1 mole % catalyst, Et3N base, MeCN reflux for 8 h, 80°C; isolated yield on a 10 mmol scale with catalyst I (64 %), II (68 %), and IV (58 %). They all exhibited significant activities.

Rhodium complexes of the phosphorus—sulfur ligands, 2-diphenylphosphinoethyl methyl sulfide (MeSP), 1, and 2-diphenylphosphinothiophene (PTH), 2, have been prepared and studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. [Rh(MeSP)2]BF4•H2O, 3, crystallizes in the space group P21/n with a = 16.939(6) Å, b = 17.152(5) Å, c = 12.049(9) Å, β = 106.50(4)°, and Z = 4. The MeSP ligands chelate to Rh yielding a distorted square-planar geometry. The disposition of the methyl groups on the cis sulfur atoms is transoid. Average Rh—P and Rh—S bond distances were found to be 2.225(3) and 2.347(3) Å, respectively. [Rh(PTH)2(COD)]BF4, 4, crystallizes in the space group Cc with a = 15.862(2) Å, b = 15.112(3) Å, c = 16.029(3) Å, β = 103.32(1)°, and Z = 4. The Rh atom in 4 also has essentially a square-planar coordination geometry. 2 does not chelate but rather is monohapto through phosphorus. Rh—P distances of 2.319(3) and 2.378(3) Å and Rh—C distances of 2.17(1), 2.22(1), 2.24(1), and 2.27(1) Å were found. The small variations in the Rh—P and Rh—C bonds distances appear to be a result of steric interactions between 2 and the COD ligand.

A series of Ni dithiolene complexes Ni[S2C2(CF3)]2n(n= −2, −1, 0) (1,2,3) and a 1-hexene adduct Ni[S2C2(CF3)2]2(C6H12) (4) have been examined by NiK-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopies. Ni XANES for1–3reveals clear pre-edge features and approximately +0.7 eV shift in the NiK-edge position for `one-electron' oxidation. EXAFS simulation shows that the Ni—S bond distances for1,2and3(2.11–2.16 Å) are within the typical values for square planar complexes and decrease by ∼0.022 Å for each `one-electron' oxidation. The changes in NiK-edge energy positions and Ni—S distances are consistent with the `non-innocent' character of the dithiolene ligand. The Ni—C interactions at ∼3.0 Å are analyzed and the multiple-scattering parameters are also determined, leading to a better simulation for the overall EXAFS spectra. The 1-hexene adduct4presents no pre-edge feature, and its NiK-edge position shifts by −0.8 eV in comparison with its starting dithiolene complex3. Consistently, EXAFS also showed that the Ni—S distances in4elongate by ∼0.046 Å in comparison with3. The evidence confirms that the neutral complex is `reduced' upon addition of olefin, presumably by olefin donating the π-electron density to the LUMO of3as suggested by UV/visible spectroscopy in the literature.

In order to elucidate specific properties of nickel sulfur complexes, redox and addition-elimination reactions of [Ni(′OS4')]2, [Ni(′NHS4')]2, [Ni(′S5')], [Ni('S4—C5')], and [Ni('S4—C3')] were investigated ('OS4′ 2' = 2,2'-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)diethylether(2—), 'NHS4'2- = 2,2'-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)diethylamine(2—), 'S5'2- = 2,2'-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)diethylsulfide(2—), 'S4-C5'2- = 1,5-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)pentane(2—), 'S4—C3'2- = 1,3-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)propane(2—)).Cyclovoltammetry proves the complexes to be redox inactive between —1.4 and +0.8 V vs. NHE. Above +0.8 V the complexes are irreversibly oxidized, below —1,4 V desalkylation takes place and [Ni(′S,′)2]2- is formed. An X-ray structure analysis was carried out of (NMe4)2[Ni(′S2')2], which shows a planar anion with the Ni center in a nearly perfect square planar coordination. Distances and angles are practically identical to those in the [Ni(′S2')2-] monoanion.The complexes coordinate only phosphines as coligands, but thioether donors simultaneously decoordinate and, dependant of reaction temperature, mono- or trisphosphine complexes are formed. [Ni(′S4—C3')(PMe3)] was characterized by X-ray structure analysis and exhibits a square pyramidal coordination geometry.

Stable five-coordinate Pt(II) complexes have been highlighted as a promising and original platform for the development of new cytotoxic drugs. Their interaction with proteins has been scarcely studied. Here, the reactivity of the five-coordinate Pt(II) compound [Pt(I)(Me) (dmphen)(olefin)] (Me = methyl, dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, olefin = dimethylfumarate) with the model proteins hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) and bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) has been investigated by X-ray crystallography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The X-ray structures of the adducts of RNase A and HEWL with [Pt(I)(Me)(dmphen)(olefin)] are not of very high quality, but overall data indicate that, upon reaction with RNase A, the compound coordinates the side chain of His105 upon releasing the iodide ligand, but retains the pentacoordination. On the contrary, upon reaction with HEWL, the trigonal bi-pyramidal Pt geometry is lost, the iodide and the olefin ligands are released, and the metal center coordinates the side chain of His15 probably adopting a nearly square-planar geometry. This work underlines the importance of the combined use of crystallographic and mass spectrometry techniques to characterize, in detail, the protein–metallodrug recognition process. Our findings also suggest that five-coordinate Pt(II) complexes can act either retaining their uncommon structure or functioning as prodrugs, i.e., releasing square-planar platinum complexes as bioactive species.

A [O,N] bidentate π-expanded ligand system, (E)-1-(n-octylimino)methylpyren-2-ol (2), was newly synthesized via a six-step synthesis from pyrene. The ligand 2 reacts with [PtCl2(PhCN)2] in chlorobenzene and the presence of a base at reflux for 2 h under the formation of (2(Pt)) complex with a yield of 70%. The molecular structure of (2(Pt)), studied by common spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction, shows a square planar geometry with a trans-configuration of the ligands. The molecular structure, absorption spectra, electrochemical properties, and phosphorescence characteristics of the (2(Pt)) complex are discussed, emphasizing the comparison with those of the previously reported Pt complex (1(Pt)) containing the isomeric ligands of 2, (E)-2-(n-octylimino)methylpyren-1-ol. The DFT calculations of the two Pt complexes are carried out and exhibit a clear explanation of the relationship between their physico-chemical characteristics.

AbstractThe XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure) spectra of copper(II) ions in solid state and in solution of the square-planar copper(II) complexes with tetraaza macrocycles were measured. The peaks in the measured XANES spectra shifted to lower energy side with increasing the electron density of central copper(II) ions. The molecular orbital calculations for the complexes were carried out by the DV-Xα method, and the theoretical XANES spectra were estimated. The clear chemical shift obtained by this XANES study is evaluated and leads to a new concept of π-back donation between the copper(II) complexes and counter anion in aqueous solution.

Reduction of [2-methyl-2-nitro-N,N?-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)propane- 1,3-diamine]copper(II) with zinc in aqueous hydrochloric acid and subsequent recomplexation yields the macromonocyclic complex (6,13-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-6,13-diamine)copper(II) perchlorate as the major product, apparently by cleavage of both pyridine rings from the precursor ligand and direct recombination of two saturated residues. Catalytic reduction of the nitro group in the precursor compound can be achieved cleanly over palladium-carbon with hydrogen. The macrocyclic complex crystallized in the space group P21/c, a 8.031(4), b 17.45(1), c 8.436(5) Ǻ, β 117.87(4)°, Z 2; for a single-crystal X-ray structure determination R was 0.078 for 1378 'observed' reflections. The complex is centrosymmetric, the macrocycle having pendant amines on opposite sides of the macrocyclic plane, while perchlorate oxygen atoms occupy the axial sites with Cu-O at 2.59 Ǻ. Observed Cu-N distances of 2.022(6) and 1.996(7) Ǻ are longer than usual for copper(II) amines. Electron spin resonance and electronic spectroscopy define an essentially square-planar geometry in solution, with only weak axial interactions.
