Tetracyanonickelate(II) compounds of several (tetraazamacrocycle)nickel(II) cations have been prepared. The structure of the N-meso-5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca- 4,11-diene, hmtd, compound [Ni(hmtd)Ni(CN)4].H2O has been determined by X-ray diffractometry [monoclinic, a 1780.3(3), b 1063.41(7), c 1409.3(2) pm, β 120.54(1)�, 24, space group C2/c, R 0.021, Rw 0.030 for 2178 reflections] and shows a chain polymeric structure with trans singlet ground state [Ni(CN)4]2- groups linking parallel stacked triplet ground state [Ni(hmtd)]2+ groups. The triplet ground state nickel(II) ions have a tetragonally elongated coordination environment [Ni-N (mean macrocycle) 204.5(1) pm, Ni-N (N≡C) 220.7(1) pm]. Tetracyanonickelate compounds of macrocycles related to hmtd but with different substituents, macrocycle ring size, and/or numbers of imine and amine donor groups were prepared. Some are diamagnetic, with discrete cation and anion, while others are similar to the hmtd compound, and for the latter, tetragonal distortions were evaluated from the reflectance spectra. Magnetic susceptibilities and infrared spectra are reported.

The complex nickel(II) cation of the bis-diazine macrocycle 3,4,7,9,9,14,14,16-octamethyl-1,2,5,6,10,13-hexaazacyclohexadeca-2,4,6,16-tetraene, omht, is formed by reaction of the complex of 3,3,9,9-tetramethyl-5,8-diazadodecane-2,11-dione dihydrazone with butane-2,3-dione, and the complex of the 7,9,9,14,14,16-hexamethyl-3,4-diphenyl homologue, bzht, is similarly prepared by reaction with 1,2- diphenylethane-1,2-dione. The cation [Cu(hmtd)]2+ is formed by metal ion substitution for a precursor of the nickel(II) cation. Compounds of the nickel(II) cations occur as singlet ground state perchlorate salts, or as triplet ground state octahedral compounds with additional ligands, e.g. [Ni(omht)(NCS)2], [{Ni(omht)(N3)}2](ClO4)2 and [Ni(omht)(en)] (ClO4)2. The singlet ground state [Ni(omht)]2+ cation in dimethyl sulfoxide converts into a triplet ground state species with first-order rate constant of 2.1(2)×10-6 s-1 at 25°C, 5.1(2)×10-5 s-1 at 50°C. The cations are slowly hydrolysed by acid, and pseudo-first-order rate constants in 2 mol l-1 HCl/NaCl for hydrolysis of [Ni(omht)]2+ and [Cu(omht)]2+ at 25° and 50°C are reported. These are of the order of 10-5 (25°C), 10-4(50°C) s-1, with a non-linear dependence on [H+], and with the reactions faster for the nickel(II) cation.

The crystal and molecular structure has been determined by X-ray diffractometry for the singlet ground state nickel(II) compound of a fifteen- membered tetraaza macrocyclic ligand , formed by reaction of a mixture of tris ( ethanediamine )nickel(II) and tris (propane-1,3- diamine )nickel(II) perchlorates with acetone. The compound, (1RS,8SR)- 5,7,7,13,15,15-hexamethyl-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclopentadeca-4,12- diene )nickel(II) perchlorate hydrate, [Ni( hmpd )](ClO4)2.H2O, is monoclinic, space group P21/C, a 1158.76(14), b 1319.53(22), c 1630.35(21) pm, β 96.209(10)°, R 0.046, Rw 0.062 for 2798 reflections. The nickel(II) ion is in tetrahedrally distorted square-planar coordination [mean Ni-N distances 188.9 pm ( imine ), 191.9 pm (amine), displacements of nitrogens c. �20 pm from mean coordination plane]. Triplet ground state compounds [Ni( hmpd )( acac )]ClO4 and [{Ni( hmpd )}2C2O4](ClO4)2, with the macrocycle in folded coordination, were prepared and converted into an isomeric form of [Ni( hmpd )](ClO4)2. The 3,5,7,7,13,15,15-heptamethyl homologue of [Ni( hmpd )]2+ was prepared by reaction of tris (propane-1,2-diamine)- and tris (propane-1,3-diamine)- nickel(II) perchlorates with acetone. The electronic (d-d), 1H N.M.R. and 13C N.M.R . spectra of compounds of these macrocyclic cations, and of (5,5,7,13,15,15-hexamethyl-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclopentadeca-7,12-diene) nickel(II) are reported.

Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 1,4,8,11-tetraazaundecane, (L), react with acetone, diacetone alcohol or mesityl oxide to form complexes of the macrocyclic ligand 5,7,7-trimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetra- azacyclotetradec-4-ene. For the nickel(II) cation, singlet ground state, square planar, salts are formed with poorly coordinating anions such as tetrachlorozincate, and triplet ground state, pseudoocta- hedral compounds with coordinating anions. These occur as trans compounds (macrocycle in planar coordination) for the unidentate anions NCS-, N3- and Cl- and as cis compounds (macrocycle in folded coordination)for the chelating anions acetylacetonate and oxalate. Different configurations of the chiral nitrogen centres are optimum for planar and for folded coordination of the macrocycle.

Compounds of NiII with the macrocyclic ligand trans-6,13-dimethyl-6,13-dinitro-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane ( dino ), which is formed by condensation of bis (ethane-1,2-diamine)nickel(II) salts, nitroethane and formaldehyde, are described, together with homologues formed by substituting propane-1,2-diamine and/or 1-nitropropane. The nitro functions of [Ni( dino )]2+ were reduced by catalytic hydrogenation to form (trans-6,13-diamino-6,13-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)nickel(II), [Ni( diam )]2+, isolated as approximately equal amounts of two isomeric forms; designated α (with the R,S,R,S configuration of the chiral nitrogen centres, overall configuration 1α,4α,6β,8α,11α,13α), and β (with the R,R,S,S, 1α,4β,6α,8β,11α,13β configuration). The α-isomer is metastable, and in solution isomerizes to the β-isomer, with rate constant of 5.0(5)×10-5 s-1 in 2 mol l.-1. NaCl solution at 50°C, the rate of this reaction increasing in both acid and base. Protonation constants (pK at 25°C in 0.1 mol l.-1 NaClO4) for diam are 11.2(1), 9.7(1), 6.2(1), 5.3(1), and for the isomeric nickel(II) cations are α 4.94(2), 2.4(5); and β 4.5(1), 4.0(1). Compounds of diam with the β-configuration were prepared with triplet ground state NiII with diam in hexadentate coordination (e.g. β-[Ni(diam-N4)] Cln ) and in tetradentate coordination with the neutral (e.g. trans-β-[Ni(diam-N4)(NCS)2]) or diprotonated ligand (e.g. trans-β-[Ni(diamH2-N4)(NCS)2](CNS)2). Compounds prepared with the α-configuration with triplet ground-state NiII had pentadentate diam with the neutral (e.g. trans-α-[Ni(diam-N5)(H2O)]Cl2) or monoprotonated ligand (e.g. trans-α-[Ni(diamH-N5) Cl ] (ClO4)2). Singlet ground-state NiII compounds with the square planar diprotonated ligand were prepared for both configurations. Structures are reported for β-[Ni(diam-N6)](ClO4)2(H2O), R 0.062 for 5708 reflections; β-[Ni(diam-N6)] [ZnCl4].1.5H2O, R 0.064 for 4332 reflections; β-[Ni(diam-N6)]Cl2.6H2O, R 0.044 for 2001 reflections; trans-β-[Ni(diam-N4)(NCS)2] R 0.056 for 1521 reflections; and trans-α-[Ni(diamH-N5) Cl ](ClO4)2(H2O), R 0.047 for 2667 reflections.

Organic π-conjugated polymers with a triplet ground state have been the focus of recent research for their interesting and unique electronic properties, arising from the presence of the two unpaired electrons. These polymers are usually built from alternating electron-donating and electron-accepting monomer pairs which lower the HOMO-LUMO gap and yield a triplet state instead of the typical singlet ground state. In this paper we use density functional theory calculations to explore the design rules that govern the creation of a ground state triplet conjugated polymer, and find that a small HOMO-LUMO gap in the singlet state is the best predictor for the existence of a triplet ground state, compared to previous use of pro-quinoidal character. This work can accelerate the discovery of new stable triplet materials by reducing the computa- tional resources needed for electronic-state calculations and the number of potential candidates for synthesis.

Copper(II) and nickel(II) compounds, [M(L)]2+, of the macrocyclic ligand 6,8,8,13,13,15-hexamethyl-1,2,4,5,9,12-hexaazacyclopentadeca-5,15(1)-diene are formed by reaction of compounds of 4,4,9,9-tetramethyl-5,8-diazadodecane-2,11-dione dihydrazone with methanal. Analogous reactions with aldehydes RHCO, or ketones RR′CO, form compounds of 3-R or 3-RR′ substituted ligands, [M(r- L)]2+ or [M(rr′-L)]2+, respectively. The nickel(II) cations form singlet ground state salts, e.g. [Ni(L)]X2, X = [ClO4]- or ½[ZnCl4]2-, and also triplet ground state compounds, e.g. [Ni(L) (NCS)2] and [Ni(L)(X)] (ClO4) (X = NO2-, C2O42-, N3-, etc.).

All have the metal ions in tetrahedrally twisted square-planar coordination, by N1, N5, N9 and N12 , with N9N12-rac, for the (L) and (pr-L) compounds, or by the structurally equivalent N3, N7, N10 and N14, with N7N10-rac, for the (chex-L) compounds. The [Cu(L)]2+ and [Cu(pr-L)]2+cations have saddle-like macrocycle conformations, with approximate mirror symmetry, while the other compounds have ′twisted′ macrocycle conformations with approximate twofold symmetry {[Cu(L)] (ClO4)2, C15H32Cl2CuN6O8, orthorhombic,P 212121, a 8·562(7), b 13·096(8), c 20·257(6) Å, Z 4, R 0·041 for 1540 reflections; [Ni(L)] (ClO4)2, C15H32Cl2N6NiO8, orthorhombic, P21/n, a 13·500(3), b 9·207(2), c 19·478(5) Å, β 103·94(2)°, Z 4, R1 0·055 for 2650 reflections; [Cu(Pr-L)] (ClO4)2.H2O, C18H40Cl2CuN6O9, monoclinic, C 2, a 24·229(5), b 13·780(3), c 8·877(2) Å, β 108·79(3)°, Z 4, R1 0·067 for 1765 reflections; [Cu(chex-L)] (ClO4)2.MeOH, C21H44Cl2CuN6O9, monoclinic, C 2/c, a 17·086(5), b 24·539(2), c 14·496(1) Å, β 89·94(2), Z 8, R1 0·072 for 2521 reflections; [Ni(chex-L)] (ClO4)2, C20H40Cl2N6NiO8, monoclinic, P 21/c, a 14·820(2), b 18·599(4), c 10·282(1) Å, β 106·26(1)°, Z 4, R1 0·067 for 2552 reflections; [Ni(chex-L)] (ClO4)2.MeOH, C21H44Cl2CuN6O9, monoclinic, C 2/c, a 14·451(2), b 24·11(2), c 16·740(3) Å, β 90·14(1)°, Z 8, R1 0·064 for 2598 reflections}.



The elastic scattering of two H atoms in the singlet ground state has been investigated on the basis of a deep square -well potential, bounded by the long -range van der Waals attrac­tion . Phase shifts with their appropr ate multiples of π are represented fo r L = 0 (1 ) 29. Some phase shifts exhibit a step -like gain of it within creasing wave number . This phenomenonis illustrated by wave function graphs and is discussed . Viscosity cross -sections are given . For scattering in the triplet ground state a Buckingham - Corner form of potential has been used and previously calculated cross -sections have been extrapolated and applied. Effective rigid -sphere diameters have been estimated by the empirical methodof Hirschfelder & Eliason , both for the approximate and accurate potentials . Two curves are given for the temperature dependence of the coefficient of vicosity , one calculated , the other estimated , and the true curve should lie nearer the latter.
