Identification of different Co(III) apda complexes: Crystallisation of [Co(H2O)6]·[Co(Hapda)2]2·H2O
摘要:
[Co(H2O)(6)] (.) [Co(Hapda)(2)](2) (.) H2O (apda = NN-bis(carboxymethyl)-beta-alaninato(3-) ion) crystallises in the triclinic, P1, space group. The Hapda ligand acts as a tridendate ligand with the longer, pronated P-alaninato arms not bonded. The two cobalt(III) units are not similar in terms of bonding distances, distortion around the metal centre and strain of the glycinato rings. Unit A has a very slightly distorted octahedron around the cobalt(Ill) centre with the O-Co-O, O-Co-N and N-Co-N bonding angles ranging between 87.84(9)degrees and 92.16(9)degrees. The O-Co-O, O-Co-N and N-Co-N bonding angles in unit B vary between 85.07(9)degrees and 94.93(9)degrees, indicating more distortion. The Co-nitrogen bonding distances vary between 1.973(2) and 1.976(2) angstrom, while the Co-oxygen distances vary between 1.8794(19) and 1.9005(19) angstrom for both A and B. The pK(11) values of the complex were determined as 2.6(1) and 2.8(1), respectively. The effective use of H-1 NMR to determine the positioning of the chelate rings of apda is illustrated with a comparative study of the title complex with [Co(apda)(H2O)(2)], where apda acts as a tetradentate ligand.
