The reactions of 0,O-dialkyldithiophosphato complexes, {(R0)2PSz}zM (M = Zn, Cd, Hg), to form dimers and 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 adducts with pyridine have been studied calorimetrically in benzene solution a t 30�C. While variation of the alkyl group has little effect, variation of the metal atom causes marked changes in both free energies and enthalpies of reaction. Average values of thermodynamic data obtained are as follows (AGOao3 and AH0300 in k J mol-l, AS0a03 in J K-l mol-l) :

Thermodynamic data are reported for the addition of pyridine and bipyridine in benzene solution to monothio-β-diketone complexes, ML2, of nickel(11), copper(11), zinc(11) and mercury(11). NiL2 gives NiL2(py)2 and NiL(bpy); ZnL2 gives ZnL2(py) and ZnL2(bpy); in both cases the data show that bipyridine is bidentate. CuL2 gives CuL2 (py) and CuL2 (bpy), with almost equal enthalpies of formation, but the higher stability of CuL2(bpy) shows bipyridine is probably bidentate. HgL2 gives HgL2(py) and a reaction with bipyridine which shows that an extremely unstable adduct is formed. All data were obtained by calorimetric titration.

The reactions of pyridine with bis(ethylxanthato)nickel(~~) and bis(dipropy1- dithiophosphato)nickel(~~) and of pyridine, 4-methylpyridine, bipyridyl, and 2,9-dimethyl-l,l0-phenanthroline with bis(diethyldithiophosphato)nickel(~~) have been studied by thermometric titration in benzene solution a t 30�C. The xanthate adds two molecules of pyridine simultaneously, AHolz = -75 kJ mol-1, ASOlz = -186 J K-1 mol-1. With the dithiophosphates, two molecules of base are added in distinct steps; the enthalpy of addition of bipyridyl is similar to that of two molecules of pyridine, but the enthalpy of addition of 2,9-dimethyl-l,l0- phenanthroline is much smaller. The thermodynamic data obtained for these reactions are as follows (AH" in k J mol-1, AS0 in J K-1 mol-1) : dipropyldithiophosphate with py AHol -71, AS01 -211, AHoz 4-2, AS0$ +34 diethyldithiophosphate PY -73 -218 +4 + 40 diethyldithiophosphate 4-mepy - 83 -248 + 7 + 59 diethyldithiophosphate bipy -76 diethyldithiophosphate Mesphen -47 Determination of the magnetic susceptibility in benzene solution containing varying pyridine concentrations has shown that base adducts of the dithiophosphates of both the types NiLzB and NiLzBz have the metal atom in the high-spin configuration.

Thermodynamic data have been obtained by calorimetric titration for the formation of 1 : 1 adducts of mercury(11) halides with tertiary arsines in benzene solution. In contrast to phosphines, only one molecule of arsine adds to HgX2 in dilute solution. Enthalpies of adduct formation, in the range - ΔH� = 50-80 kJ mol-1, are not much changed by replacement of phenyl by methyl, but adduct stabilities increase in the order Ph3As < Ph2AsMe < PhAsMe2 < AsMe3 HgI2AsMe3 is dimeric in solution. The diarsines Ph2As(CH2),AsPh2 are unidentate, but Ph2P- (CH2),AsPh2 is bidentate. Data are also reported for addition to HgX2 of Ph3PS,Ph2PSCH2PSPh2 and corresponding arsine sulphides; the disulphides are bidentate. Factors affecting chelation in these compounds are discussed.

Thermodynamic data have been obtained for the formation in benzene solution of adducts of nickel(11) O-alkylxanthate complexes with one molecule of 2,2'-bipyridine or two molecules of pyridine or 4-methylpyridine. The results show that changes in the free energy and enthalpy of adduct formation with variation of the alkyl group in the xanthate can be explained wholly by inductive effects; there is no evidence for steric effects even with branched alkyl chains.

Thermodynamic data are reported for dimerization of dialkyldithiocarbamates, (R2NCS2)2Cd, and for addition of heterocyclic bases to (R2NCS2)2Cd and (R2NCS2)2Zn in benzene solution. Enthalpies of reaction are comparable to those of corresponding dithiophosphates, but adduct formation and dimerization constants are smaller and the dithiocarbamates add only one molecule of base. Though probably bidentate, 2,2'-bipyridine forms less stable adducts with (R2NCS2)2Zn than does pyridine.

Thermodynamic data are reported for the reaction of mercury(11) halides with a range of potentially bidentate bases in benzene solution. The enthalpy data show that in 1 : 1 adducts with tetramethyl-alkanediamines and bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane both donor atoms are coordinated, the mercury being four-coordinate with two Hg-N or Hg-P bonds, each of comparable strength to those in 1 : 1 adducts with unidentate bases. N-Methylmorpholine and dioxan are almost certainly unidentate. 1,10-Phenanthroline, 2,2'-bipyridine and N,N'-dimethylpiperazine gave 1 : 1 adducts of higher stability than those of unidentate bases, but the enthalpies of adduct formation were similar or smaller; the most satisfactory explanation of this seems to be that both nitrogen atoms arecoordinated but that the two Hg-N bonds are unusually weak because of steric misfitting of the bidentate base with the mercury atom.

Free energies, enthalpies, and entropies of formation of adducts of pyridine and some copper(II) complexes of 3-substituted β-diketones have been determined by thermometric titration in benzene solution. The results, which show that adduct stability is determined by the enthalpy, are discussed in terms of the relationships of extrathermodynamics.

Thermodynamic data are reported for reaction of heterocyclic bases in benzene solution with four-coordinate copper(11) and cobalt(11) Schiff base complexes and also with a five-coordinate nickel(11) complex. The cogper(11) complexes form adducts of low stability with pyridine or 4-methylpyridine, K ≈ 21. mol-1, ΔH� ≈ -20 kJmol-l. The cobalt(11) complexes add two molar proportions of base successively 1 < K1 ≤ K2 < 101.mol-1 ΔH1� ≈ ΔH2� ≈ -20 kJ mol-1 They also form adducts with 2,2'-bipyridine 30 < K < 600 ΔH� ≈ -40kJ mol-1 The nickel(11) complex forms more stable adducts with unidentate bases, K ≈ 1001. mol-l, ΔH� ≈ 70 kJ mol-1. Comparison of the three metals indicates that differences between the stabilities of their base adducts can be attributed mainly to entropy factors.

Thermodynamic data have been obtained for the reactions of mercury(II) halides with Lewis bases in benzene solution at 30�C. With tributyl- and triphenyl-phosphines 1 : 1 and 2 : 1 adducts were observed in solution, the 1 : 1 adduct with tributylphosphine being associated. With tetrahydrofuran, tributylamine, pyridine, 2-methylpyridine, 4- methylpyridine, tetrahydrothiophen, and triphenylarsine only 1 : 1 adducts were observed in solution, monomeric and three-coordinate, except for HgI2AsPh3, which probably associates to some extent. In most cases the enthalpies of formation of 1 : 1 adducts in solution are about -70 kJ mol-1; lower enthalpies of formation of the tributylamine adducts, about -40 kJ mol-1, are attributed to the absence of π-bonding and much lower enthalpies of formation of tetrahydrofuran adducts to the ?B character? of mercury. Wide variations in the stabilities of the adducts are mainly due to entropy effects, probably arising from differences in the solvation of the adducts.

Thermodynamic data have been obtained from spectroscopic and calorimetric measurements for the addition of pyridine and 4- methylpyridine to bis(O,O?-diethyl thiomalonato)nickel(II), Ni(etm)2, in solution in cyclohexane, benzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, acetonitrile, butan-2-one and carbon tetra-chloride. In each solvent two base molecules add successively, giving Ni(etm)2B then Ni(etm)2B2. There are only small variations in K1 and K2 in different solvents; typically K1 ≈ 200, K2 ≈ 100 l. mol-1, ΔH�1+2 ≈ -65, ΔH�2 ≈ 0 kJ mol-1 at 30�C, but in benzene and cyclohexane ΔH�2 ≈ -25 and in cyclohexane ΔH�1+2 ≈ -100 kJ mol-1. The main driving force for adduct formation is apparently the formation of the first Ni-N bond, which is accompanied by a spin change.
