New template reactions of salicylaldehyde S-methyl-isothiosemicarbazone with 2-formylpyridine promoted by Ni(II) or Cu(II) metal ions
摘要:
The template reaction between salicylaldehyde S-methyl-isothiosemicarbazone and 2-formylpyridine in presence of nickel(II) or copper(II) salts yields two new coordination compounds with general formula [NiL1](2) (1) and [CuL2](2) (2) (L-1 = the dianionic (N-1-salicylidene)(N-4-(hydroxy(pyridin- 2- yl) methyl) Smethyl- isothiosemicarbazide) ligand and L2 = the doubly deprotonated (N-1-salicylidene)(N-4-(picolinoyl) S- methyl- isothiosemicarbazide) ligand). In the complex 1, the formed L-1 ligand appears as result of an addition reaction of the precursors, while for 2 a redox mechanism is implicated in the formation of L-2. Despite the fact that the initial organic precursors are the same, the resulting ligands obtained in the template reaction are different. In 1, the Ni(II) metal ion adopts a square- planar geometry and the [NiL1] units are forming dimerized chains through weak Ni center dot center dot center dot Ni interactions (3.336 and 3.632 angstrom). In 2, the Cu(II) metal ions adopt a square- pyramidal geometry and form dinuclear species through weak Cu center dot center dot center dot O (phenoxo) interactions. The magnetic susceptibility measurements of the complexes reveal the diamagnetic nature of 1 as expected for a square planar Ni(II) complex and a paramagnetic behavior for 2 with weak intra- dimer antiferromagnetic interaction (J/k(B) = -2.1(1) K).
