Formation of out of plane oxime metallacycles in [Cu2] and [Cu4] complexes
摘要:
The reaction Of Cu(ClO4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O with dimethylglyoxime (H(2)dmg) in a 1:1 mole ratio in aqueous methanol at room temperature affords the dinuclear complex [Cu-2(mu-Hdmg)(4)] (1). Reaction of 1 with [Cu(bpy)(H2O)(2)](ClO4)(2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) in a 1:1 mole ratio in aqueous methanol at room temperature yields the tetranuclear complex [Cu-2(mu-HdMg)(2)(mu-dMg)(2)(bpy)(2)(H2O)(2)](ClO4)(2) (2). The direct reaction of Cu(ClO4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O with H(2)dmg and bpy in a 2:21 mole ratio in aqueous methanol at room temperature also yields 2 quantitatively. The complexes 1 and 2 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Unlike the binding in Ni/Co-dmg, two different types of N-O bridging modes during the oxime based metallacycle formation and stacking of square planar units have been identified in these complexes. The neutral dinuclear complex 1 has CuN4O coordination spheres and complex 2 consists of a dicationic [Cu-2(mu-HdMg)(2)(mu-dMg)(2)(bpy)(2)(H2O)(2)](2+) unit and two uncoordinated ClO4- anions having CuN4O and CuN2O3 coordination spheres. The two copper(II) ions are at a distance of 3.846(8) angstrom in 1 for the trans out of plane link and at 3.419(10) and 3.684(10) angstrom in 2 for the trans out of plane and cis in plane arrangements, respectively. The average Cu-N-oxime distances are 1.953 and 1.935 angstrom, respectively. The average basal and apical Cu-N-oxime distances are 1.945, 2.295 and 2.429 angstrom. The UV-Vis spectra of 2 is similar to the spectrum of the reaction mixture of 1 and [Cu(bpy)(H2O)(2)](2+). Variable temperature magnetic properties measurement shows that the interaction between the paramagnetic copper centers in complex I is antiferromagnetic in nature. The EPR spectra of frozen solution of the complexes at 77 K consist of axially symmetric fine-structure transitions (Delta M-S = 1) and half-field signals (Delta M-S = 2) at ca. 1600 G, suggesting the presence of appreciable Cu-Cu interactions.
