Novel oxorhenium complexes with 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)-2-benzothiazolinato ligand: X-ray studies, spectroscopic characterization and DFT calculations
摘要:
The [ReOX2(hbt)(EPh3)] (X = Cl, Br; E = As, P) chelates have been prepared in the reactions of [ReOX3(EPh3)(2)] complexes (X = Cl, Br; E = P, As) with 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-benzothiazole (hbtH) in acetone. From the reactions of [ReOX3(PPh3)(2)] with hbtH two kind of crystals [ReOX2(hbt)(PPh3)]center dot MeCN and [ReOX2(hbt)(PPh3)] with different arrangement of halide ions (cis and trans) were isolated, whereas the [ReOX3(AsPh3)(2)] oxocompounds react with hbtH to give only cis-halide isomers. The complexes were structurally and spectroscopically characterised. The electronic structures of both [ReOBr2(hbt)(PPh3)] isomers have been calculated with the density functional theory (DFT) method. The TDDFT/PCM calculations have been employed to produce a hundred of singlet excited-states starting from the ground-state geometry optimized in the gas phase of cis- and trans-halidc isomers of [ReOBr2(hbt)(PPh3)] and the UV-Vis spectra of these complexes have been discussed on this basis.
