Coordination of diorganotellurides to cobalt(III) in cobaloximes
摘要:
The unexpectedly aqueous stable bis-tellurium cationic complex [Co(dmgH)(2)(PhTe(CH2)(3)SO3Na)2](+)(1(+)) (dmgH(-) = dimethylglyoximate) has been fully characterized in the solid state and in solution. The UV-Vis spectrum of 1(+) differs from that of earlier cobaloximes, exhibiting a new low energy band centered at lambda(max) =425 nm (epsilon similar to 26155 dm(3) mol(-1) cm(-1)) and assigned with DFT calculations to allowed LMCT transitions. H-1, C-13, and Te-125 NMR spectra show unequivocally that two diastereomers exist equally in water, 50% of the achiral C-2h, meso-[Co(dmgH)(2)(R,S-PhTe(CH2)(3)SO3Na)(2)](+) and 50% of the chiral C-2 rac-[Co(dmgH)(2)(PhTe(CH2)(3)SO3Na)(2)](+) (25% of each enantiomer [Co(dmgH)(2)(R,R-PhTe(CH2)(3)SO3Na)(2)](+) and [Co(dmgH)(2)(S,S-PhTe(CH2)(3)SO3Na)(2)](+)). The solid-state structure of the meso diastereomer has been solved. Neutral mono-tellurium complexes [CoCl(dmgH)(2)[Te(p-MeO-C6H4)(2))](2) and [CoCl(dpgH)(2) (Te(p-MeO-C6H4)(2))](3) (dpgH(-) = diphenylglyoximate) have also been characterized in the solid (3) state and in solution (2 and 3). The structural results provide the first examples of Co(III)-Te bonds. The solid-state structure of the related cobaloxime salt [Co(dmgH)(2)(py)(2)][CoCl2(dmgH)(2)] obtained during one synthesis is also reported. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
