摘要:
The reaction of mesitylamine (2,4,6-Me3C6H2NH2) with two equivalents of imidoylchloride, ArN=C(Cl)Me (Ar=2,4,6-Me3C6H2 or 2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3)) in the presence of Et3N yields neutral [N,N'] chelating ligands, [2,4,6-Me3C6H2N{C(Me)N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)}(2)] (L-1) and a pair of ligand isomers; symmetrical [2,4,6-Me3C6H2N{C(Me)N(2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3))}(2)] (L-2a) & unsymmetrical [2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3)NC(Me)N(2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3))C(Me) N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)] (L-2b). An exclusive synthesis of the unsymmetrical isomer L(2)b has also been optimized by the reaction of a preformed amidine (2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3))NH{C(Me)=N(2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3))} with the mesityl imidoylchloride. The three ligands have been thoroughly characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods (for L-2a and L-2b). The reaction of equimolar quantities of L-1 with CoCl2 center dot 6H(2)O, NiBr2 center dot xH(2)O, Cu(NO3)(2)center dot 3H(2)O yields the corresponding mononuclear complexes, L-1 center dot CoCl2 (I), L-1 center dot NiBr2 (2) and L-1 center dot Cu(NO3)(2) (3). Similarly, reaction of unsymmetrical ligand isomer L-2b with CoCl2 center dot 6H(2)O, NiBr2 center dot xH(2)O, or CuCl2 affords the complexes L-2b center dot CoCl2 (4), L-2b center dot NiBr2 (5) and L-2b center dot CuCl2 (6), respectively. The solid state structures of complexes 1-6 have been investigated by single crystal X-ray structural analysis. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
