Homo- and heterometallic trinuclear nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii) pivalate complexes
摘要:
The reaction of the dinuclear complex CO2(bpy)(2)(OOCBut)(4) with the tetranuclear complex Ni-4(mu(3)-OH)(2)(OOCBut)(6)(EtOH)(6) afforded the trinuclear heterometallic Complex M-3(bpy)(2)(mu(3)- OH)(mu-OOCBut)(4)(OOCBut) (6) (M = Ni, Co; Ni: Co = 1.2 : 1) in which two metal atoms are in an octahedral environment and one metal atom is in a tetrahedral environment. The reaction of 2,2'-bipyridine with Co-4(mu(3)-OH)(2)(OOCBut)(6)(HOEt)(6) (reagent ratio was 2 : 1) or the reaction of bpy with Co-8(mu(4)-O)(2)(mu(n)-OOCBut)(12) (reagent ratio was 4 : 1) produced a homometallic analog of 6, viz., the trinuclear cluster Co-3(bpy)(2)(mu(3)-OH)(mu-OOCBut)(4)(OOCBut) (8). The reaction of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) with the [Co(OH)(n)(OOCBut)(2-n)](x) polymer gave the analogous trinuclear cluster (phen)(2)Co-3(mu(3)-OH)(mu(2)-OOCBut)(4)(eta(1)-OOCBut). Compounds 6 and 8 exhibit antiferromagnetic spin-spin exchange interactions.
