Structural characterisation of beryllium phthalocyaninato(2-) complexes axially ligated by O- and N-donating ligands
摘要:
Recrystallisation of beryllium phthalocyanine (BePc) in water-free 2-picoline (2-Mepy) and in water-free 3-picoline (3-Mepy) yields to obtain the BePc(2-Mepy)-2-Mepy (1) and BePc(3-Mepy)center dot 3-Mepy (II), while recrystallisation in wet (containing water) 2- and 3-picolines isomers yields to formation of the aquaberyllium phthalocyaninato(2-) complexes that crystallise with solvent molecule, 2-picoline (1a) or 3-picoline (Ila). Single crystal analyses show 4 + 1 coordination of the Be(II) ion in these complexes. It is equatorially ligated by the four N-isoindole atoms of Pc macrocycle and axially by the N-ring atom of 3-Mepy (11) or by 0 atom of water in la and Ila. Interaction of the central Be(II) ion of the BePc with axial N or O donating ligands leads to the saucer-shape form of Pc macrocycle and deviates the Be(U) from the N-4-isoindole plane by similar to 0.31 angstrom. Thus, pi-pi interaction between the pi-clouds of Pc aromatic macrorings in 11 and additionally the C-H... N hydrogen bonds in la and Ila are the forces responsible for the stabilisation of the molecular arrangement in the crystals. Thermogravimetric analyses confirm the compositions of the complexes.
