Copper(II) coordination chemistry of 2-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl)-1,3-propan-diol: Syntheses and structures of mono-, di-, and tricopper complexes
摘要:
Six copper(II) complexes with NO-donor ligand 2-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl)-1,3-propan-diol (H(2)ppdo) were synthesized and characterized. Treatment of CuCl2 or Cu(OTf)(2) with H(2)ppdo led to the formation of bis(H(2)ppdo) monomers [Cu(H(2)ppdo)(2)][CuCl4] (1) and [Cu(H(2)ppdo)(2)](OTf)(2) (2), respectively. Both 1 and 2 are comprised of the copper atom coordinated by two ligands in an axially-compressed tetragonal geometry with the pyridyl N atoms in the axial positions and the alcohol O atoms in the equatorial plane. The treatment of 1 or 2 with Et3N produced copper(II) complexes of varying nuclearity. Treatment of 1 with excess Et3N generated two binuclear Cu(II) clusters [Cu-2(Hppdo)(2)Cl-2] (3) and [Cu-2(Hppdo)(2)Cl-2 (CH3OH)(2)] (4), where only one alcohol OH group per ligand has been deprotonated, while similar treatment of 2 with excess Et3N afforded the trimeric copper(II) species [Cu-3(Hppdo)(4)](OTf)(2) (5). The structures of 3 and 4 are similar, with alkoxo-O ligand atoms bridging between two square pyramidal copper atoms, and the alcohol-O ligand atoms either coordinating in the axial position in 3, or uncoordinated in 4. Treatment of CuCl2 with H(2)ppdo and Et3N afforded the trinuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu-3(Hppdo)(4)]Cl-2 (6). Complexes 5 and 6 are made up of one square-planar copper sandwiched between two tetragonally distorted six-coordinate Cu(Hppdo)(2) moieties, where the bridging alkoxo-O atoms link the copper atoms.
