Synthesis, crystal structure and esterification of a novel iron(III) 18-metallacrown-6 complex
摘要:
The trianionic heptadentate ligand, (Z)-3-(5'-chlorosalicylhydrazinocarbonyl) propenoic acid, has been synthesized and reacted with FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O, to produce the complex [Fe-6(III)(C12H8N2O5Cl)(6)(H2O)(4)(-)( CH3OH)(2)]center dot 8H(2)O center dot 4CH(3)OH. In the self-assembly process the ligand was esterified and transferred into (Z)-methyl 3-(5'-chlorosalicylhydrazinocarbonyl) propenoate. In the crystal structure, the neutral Fe(III) complex contain a 18-membered metallacrown ring consisting of six Fe(III) and six trianionic ligands. The 18-membered metallacrown ring is formed by the succession of six structural moieties of the type [Fe(III)-N-N]. Due to the meridional coordination of the ligands to the Fe3+ ions, the ligands enforce the stereochemistry of the Fe3+ ions as a propeller configuration with alternating Lambda/Delta forms. The metallacrown can be treated with SnCl2 or Zn powder to obtain purified ester. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
