The structures of some (hexamethyl-1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadecadiene)copper(II) compounds
摘要:
The structure of the crystalline azamacrocyclic product formed by reaction of bis(propane-1,3-diamine)copper(II) perchlorate with acetone has been determined as N-rac-(6,8,8,14,16,16-hexamethyl-1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadeca-5,13-diene)copper(II) center dot N-meso-(6,8,8,14,14,16-hexamethyl-1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadeca-5,16(1)-diene)copper(II) perchlorate, with the cis, 5,16(1)-diene, and trans, 5,13-diene, isomeric cations co-crystallised. The structures of three compounds crystallised from solutions of this mixture have been determined. N-rac-(6,8,8,14,14,16-hexamethyl-1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadeca-5,16(1)-diene)copper(II) tetrachlorozincate has an irregular flattened tetrahedral coordination geometry with trans-N-Cu-N angles of 139.27(8)degrees and 155.94(8)degrees. (Hexamethyl-1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadecadiene)(thiocyanato-N)copper(II) perchlorate has twofold symmetrical square-pyramidal cations. A (mu-cyano)-tetracyanonickelate(II) compound has two (hexamethyl-1,5,9,13 -tetraazacyclohexadecadiene)copper(II) cations each with a single axially coordinated tetracyanonickelate(II) group. The compounds, except for the tetrachlorozincate(II) salt, show disorder in the location of the imine functions and axial methyl substituents, attributed to co-crystallisation of enantiomers for the N-rac-trans isomer and/or of rotated arrangements of the N-meso-cis isomer. For the thiocyanato and tetracyanonickelato compounds this disorder precluded unambiguous assignment of configuration. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
