Efficient Proton-Templated Synthesis of 18- to 38-Membered Tetraimino(amino)diphenol Macrocyclic Ligands: Structural Features and Spectroscopic Properties
摘要:
A whole range of Robson-type tetraiminodiphenol macrocyclic ligands have been prepared as their perchlorate salts [H4L](ClO4)(2) in high yield (ca. 90%) by a single-step [2 + 2] condensation reaction between 4-methyl(or tert-butyl)-2,6-diformyl(or diacyl)phenols and alpha,omega-diaminoalkanes (C-2-C-12) in the presence of acetic acid and NaClO4. The reduction of these 18- to 38-membered macrocyclic salts with NaBH4 have afforded corresponding tetraaminodiphenol macrocycles H2L'. The X-ray crystal structures of two of the tetraiminodiphenol macrocycles with the C-2 and C-4 lateral chains have been determined, and the optimized configurations for all of the macrocycles have been obtained by molecular mechanics calculations. The macrocycles have been characterized by elemental analysis and by IR, absorption, emission, and NMR spectroscopic study. The protonated tetraiminodiphenol macrocycles exhibit strong fluoroseence in methanol, acetonitrile, and nitromethane and undergo quenching when treated with triethylamine. The neutral macrocycles H2L, isolated by treating [H4L](ClO4)(2) with excess of triethylamine, lack luminescence, as do the reduced tetraaminodiphenol macrocycles H2L'. The hydrolytic cleavage of [H4L](ClO4)(2) has been studied.

Dinuclear Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co (II) complexes of macrocyclic Schiff-baseligands of 2,6-difornyl-4-methyphenol with α,ω-diamines have been synthesized and characterized. The effect of chelate ring size and saturation of azomethine groups of these ligands on stability, structure and electrochemical properties of the metal complexes has been investigated. Catalytic activity of the metal complexes in
