Complexation of metal salts with macrocyclic polyethers in aprotic organic solvents. Crystal structure of ionic complexes [Co·15-crown-5·2CH3CN][CoCl3·CH3CN]2·CH3CN, [Co·15-crown-5·2CH3CN][CoCl4]·CH3CN and [Co·15-crown-5·2CH3CN][Co2Cl6]
摘要:
Interaction of anhydrous CoCl2 with 15-crown-5 in acetonitrile medium leads to the formation in solution and in the crystal of ionic compounds of three structural types: [Co.15-C-5.2AN][CoCl3.AN]2.AN, [Co.15-C-5.(AN)2][CoCl4].AN and [Co.15-C-5.(AN)2][Co2Cl6]. The complex formation has been studied by conductometric and spectrophotometric titration, but individual compounds by X-ray structural analysis. All three compounds were found to be the intracavital complexes. The cobalt polyhedron is a pentagonal bipyramid, the apical positions being occupied by nitrogens. Thermal decomposition of these compounds starts with the loss of acetonitrile, the final step being the destruction of the polyether ring.
Crystal structures of the heterometallic complex [Co · 15-crown-5 · (CH3CN)2][Cu2Cl6] and the product of its hydration [Co · 15-crown-5 · (H2O)2][CuCl4]
Interaction of anhydrous CoCl2 and CuCl2 with 15C5 in acetonitrile gave the ionic complex [Co.15C5.(CH3CN)2][Cu2Cl6] (I) with the cobalt atom located in the inner cavity of the macrocycle. Thermal decomposition of I starts at 140-degrees-C with the dissociation of the acetonitrile to finally produce CoCl2 and CuCl. Hydration of I gave a mixture of CuCl2.2H2O and [Co.15C5.(H2O)2][CuCl4] (IV). Cobalt is also located in the inner cavity in IV and has a coordination number of 7.
