Preparation, characterization and reactivity of 1-benzylpyridinium-4-aldoxime chloride and 1-phenacylpyridinium-4-aldoxime chloride and their complexes with the aquapentacyanoferrate(II) ion
摘要:
A detailed structural characterization of the biologically active 1-benzylpyridinium-4-aldoxime chloride and 1-phenacylpyridinium-4-aldoxime chloride was performed using NMR and vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, as well as X-ray diffraction. The complexes of these compounds with the aquapentacyanoferrate(II) ion were examined in solution, isolated as solids and characterized by elemental analysis, electronic, FT-IR and NMR spectral data. They were found to be mononuclear substituted pentacyanoferrates(II) containing the aldoxime group coordinated to the iron through the nitrogen atom. The complexes were also precipitated in the form of the respective zinc salts; the analysis of these complexes revealed a molar Fe/Zn ratio of 1, thus confirming the charge of the complex anions to be -2. The ionization constants of the aldoxime group in the free ligands and in the respective cyano complexes were also determined. Despite the presence of two donor sites in 1-phenacylpyridinium-4-aldoxime chloride, only the aldoxime group was found to be reactive. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Comparative kinetic and equilibrium studies on the formation and dissociation of three mono- and one bis-pyridinium-4-aldoxime pentacyanoferrate(II) complexes have been carried out in aqueous solutions at 25 degrees C and I = 0.1 M. The synthesis, spectroscopic and thermal characterization of a new N-methylpyridinium-4-aldoxime pentacyanoferrate(II) complex is presented. The obtained values for the equilibrium constants, identified as apparent formation constants (beta(f)/M-1) along with kinetic parameters, the formation (k(f)/M-1 s(-1)) and dissociation (k(d)/s(-1)) rate constants indicated the behaving of all protonated pyridinium-4-aldoximes as weak pi-acceptors. The pH-dependence of the dissociation rates has been analyzed in terms of ionization abilities of the coordinated ligands. The magnitude of the dissociation rates suggested that both protonated and deprotonated ligand forms are effective sigma-donors that bind to the [Fe(CN)(5)](3-) moiety through the nitrogen atom. The deprotonation of the coordinated aldoxime group leads to the reduced lability of the complexes due to increased sigma-donor capability of aldoximato nitrogen causing the strengthened of the iron(II)-nitrogen bond. The values of dissociation activation parameters, Delta H-double dagger and Delta S-double dagger, are found to be consistent with the S(N)1 dissociative type of mechanism. The spectroscopic data (FT-IR, NMR and UV-Vis) of the isolated coordinated pentacyanoferrates(II) conforms with the weak pi-acceptor properties of the pyridinium-4-aldoxime ligands. A detailed structural characterization of the iodide and chloride salt of N-methylpyridinium-4-aldoxime was also presented using NMR, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, as well as X-ray diffraction.
