Synthesis, stability and structure of the complex of bismuth(III) with the nitrogen-donor macrocycle 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane. The role of the lone pair on bismuth(III) and lead(II) in determining co-ordination geometry
摘要:
The complex [Bi(cyclen)(H
2
O)(ClO
4
)
3
]
(cyclen = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) has been
synthesized and its crystal structure determined. The Bi has
square-antiprismatic co-ordination to the four nitrogens of cyclen (mean
Bi–N 2.39 Å) with the upper square being
provided by one oxygen from each of the three perchlorates and a water
molecule (mean Bi–O 2.77 Å). The formation
constant (log K
1
) of Bi
III
with cyclen
has been determined as 23.45 at I = 0.5 mol
dm
-3
and 25 °C by differential pulse
polarography in an out-of-cell technique, where equilibration was slow
and required 6 months. This is a high log K
1
value
for a complex with cyclen, in accord with predictions made of the high
affinity that Bi
III
would have for polyamines on the basis of
a model of acid–base interactions in aqueous solution. The
structures of some complexes of Bi
III
and the isoelectronic
Pb
II
were analysed in terms of the effect that the lone pair
of electrons has on the M–L bond length (M = Bi or
Pb, L = ligand donor atom). A relationship was found
between the M–L bond length and the distance of L from the lone
pair as quantified by the l.p.–M–L
(l.p. = lone pair) angle, with M–L decreasing as
l.p.–M–L increases. This observation is rationalized in
terms of an analogy with the linear co-ordination geometry found in many
complexes of Hg
II
, where the lone pair on Bi
III
or
Pb
II
occupies one of the two co-ordination sites in the
analogous linear two-co-ordinate mercury(II) complex.
