Structural preferences and isomerism in nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with 3-hydroxypicolinic acid
摘要:
Recrystallization of [Ni(3-OHpic)(2)(H2O)(2)] (1) from pyridine (py) affords trans-[Ni(3-OHpic)(2)(py)(2)] (2), while cis-[Ni(3-OHpic)(2)(4-pic)(2)] (3) is obtained from 4-picoline (4-pic). The nickel(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated by two N,O-bidentate 3-hydroxypicolinate ligands in both 2 and 3, and by two pyridine molecules in trans positions (2) or two 4-picoline molecules in cis positions (3). [Cu(3-OHpic)(2)] reacted with 4-picoline to yield the pentacoordinated species [Cu(3-OHpic)(2)(4-Pic)] (4), but in the presence of 3-picoline (3-pic) the octahedral trans-[Cu(3-OHpic)(2)(3-pic)(2)] (5), similar to 2, was isolated. The crystal structures of 2-5 exhibit strong intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, but the intermolecular interactions are weak (C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, pi-pi and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions). DFT calculations showed a preference for octahedral coordination for both the nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes, and a very small preference for a cis arrangement of the monodentate ligands, as observed in 2 and 5. The cooperative effect of weak intermolecular interactions should be responsible for reversing the preferences, but no major driving force could be identified. Calculated (DFT) and experimental IR spectra for 2-5 were compared and characteristic bands assigned. Thermogravimetric studies showed the initial loss of two coordinated pyridine, 4-picoline or 3-picoline molecules in 2, 3 and 5, respectively. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The three new complexes, [Zn(picoH)(2).2H(2)O] (1), [Mn(picoH)(2).2H(2)O] (2) and [Cu(picoH)(2)] (3) (HpicoH = 3-hydroxypicolinic acid) were synthesized as single crystals by the hydrothermal reactions and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and thermal analysis. The complexes 1 and 2 are isomorphous and have,rich hydrogen bonds formed by the coordinating water molecules with the carboxylate groups and the hydrogen atoms of the pyridine rings, respectively. The hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of supramolecules with three-dimensional network structures. In the crystal of the complex 3, the copper(II) ion is not only strongly coordinated by four atoms (N2O2) in a square-planar fashion, but also interacts weakly with other two oxygen atoms, forming a distorted octahedron. The coordination number of the copper(H) ion can be described as '4 + 2'. The weak Cu-O coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds in 3 bring the moieties into a supramolecule with three-dimensional network. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
