Preparation and characterization of the dichromates of the organic bases: 2,4′-bipyridine, 2,2′-dipyridylamine and 4,4′-bipyridine
摘要:
Dichromates of 2,4'-bipyridine (two forms), [(H-2-2,4'-bipy) (Cr2O7)] (1) and [(H-2,4'-bipy)(2)(Cr2O7)] (2), 2,2'-dipyridylamine, [(H-dpam)(2)(Cr2O7)] (3), and 4,4'-bipyiridine (two forms), [(H-2-4,4'-bipy) (Cr2O7)] (4) and [(H-4,4'-bipy)(2)(H-2-4,4'-bipy) (Cr2O7)(2)] (5), were prepared by reaction of chromium(VI) oxide with the free organic bases in the appropriate stoichiometric ratio in water at 25 degrees C. The structures of compounds 2, 3 and 4 were determined by X-ray crystallography and revealed the existence of discrete dichromate anions formed by two tetrahedral CrO4 groups joined through shared O atoms, and the respective protonated organic bases hydrogen bonded to respective dinegative anions. A short C-H ... O interaction [2.996(4) Angstrom] between the organic cation and the dichromate anion was observed in compound 4. All organic dichromates were also characterized by IR, UV-vis H-1 NMR measurements. For compounds 2, 3 and 4, a comparison was made and the crystallographic data of a series of mono- and polychromates and showed a correlation of the terminal and bridging Cr-O atomic distances with an increasing degree of polymerization. A graph theory cluster expansion was employed for these correlation studies.
