A series of complexes (FeII, CuII and NiII) of the N,O bidentate ligand 6,7-dichloroquinoline-5,8-dione in water was investigated by using Raman spectroscopy, and the experimental peaks were assigned with the help of computed spectra by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A strong shift to lower wavenumbers was observed for the vibration of the CO group involved in chelation, depending on the type of metal ion. When each complex was used in the substitution reaction by the nucleophilic reagent piperidine, two products having the same molecular composition but showing the substituent in different regions of the molecule were obtained, and moreover their regioselective formation was in agreement with the size of the Raman shifts previously observed for the complexes. This example confirms the potential of the approach involving Raman spectroscopy combined with DFT calculations in the characterization of metal complexes as key intermediates in organic reactions, with the possibility of predicting the metal system capable to achieve the highest selectivity.

利用拉曼光谱研究了水中 N,O 双齿配体 6,7-二氯喹啉-5,8-二酮的一系列配合物(FeII、CuII 和 NiII),并借助密度泛函理论(DFT)计算的光谱对实验峰进行了分配。根据金属离子的类型,参与螯合的 CO 基团的振动出现了向低波段的强烈偏移。当使用亲核试剂哌啶对每种络合物进行取代反应时,会得到两种具有相同分子组成但在分子不同区域显示取代基的产物,而且它们的区域选择性与之前观察到的络合物拉曼偏移的大小一致。这个例子证实了拉曼光谱与 DFT 计算相结合的方法在表征作为有机反应关键中间体的金属配合物方面的潜力,并有可能预测出能够实现最高选择性的金属体系。Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
