Preparation of two thiophenophane polythioether macrocycles and 11 of their complexes of Cu(I), Cu(II), Ag(I), and Pd(II) is described. The single crystal X-ray structure of [(CuBr)2(L1)x is reported: space group Pcma, a = 8.7120(6), b = 10.7791(5), c = 12.0929(5) Å, Z = 2, Rf = 0.052, Rw = 0.036 for 521 reflections. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements for [(CuCl2)2(L1)] and [(CuCl2)2(L2)] reveal weak antiferromagnetic and weak ferromagnetic coupling, respectively. Cyclic voltammograms of these compounds display two unequal waves in acetonitrile solvent but only one in nitromethane or dimethyl sulfoxide. 1H NMR spectra of {[(η-C3H5)Pd]2(L1)}{PF6}2 and {[(η-C3H5)Pd]2(L2)}{PF6}2 in various solvents show different temperature responses. These magnetic, electrochemical, and NMR effects are discussed in the light of structural differences at sites in the two ligands that are outside the coordination spheres. Key words: magnetic susceptibility, copper, thioether, electrochemistry.

From 1,11-bis(salicylaldimine)-3,6,9-trithiaundecane (H2L1), 1,11-bis(salicylaldimine)-6-oxa-3,9-dithiaundecane (H2L2), and 1,8-bis(salicylaldimine)-3,6-dithiaundecane (H2L3), syntheses for [Cu(L1)]2 (I), Cu(L2)·CH3OH (II), Cu(L3) (III), [Cu(HL3)][CH3COO] (IV), [Cu(HL1-sal)]Cl2 (V), Cu4(L1)2Br4(H2O)2·2H2O (VI) and Cu2(L2)Br2·xH2O (VII) are described. Single crystal X-ray structural studies for I, III and VII are reported. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility studies of I, VI and VII are discussed. The examination of VII represents the first magneto-structural study of a binuclear copper(II) species with NSO3Br coordination spheres. This study examines perturbation by one or more of the donor atoms so that none of the known magnetostructural models predicts the copper–copper coupling.

The mononuclear oxazolidine nitroxide complex [MnII(L•)2](ClO4)2 (1) (L•, 4-dimethyl-2,2-di(2-pyridyl)oxazolidine N-oxide) has been synthesized and investigated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements, and electrochemistry. The structural analysis reveals bond lengths compatible with a linear L•–MnII–L• arrangement where the ligands are in the neutral ligand form and the central MnII ion is high spin (S = 5/2). Although analysis of the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data suggests a strong antiferromagnetic metal–radical interaction, the radical–radical intramolecular interaction could not be determined unambiguously from such fits. The resultant isolated S = 3/2 ground state is confirmed by low-temperature magnetization versus field measurements. Electrochemical studies reveal similar square schemes and redox intermediates to the previously reported analogues [FeII(L•)2][BF4]2 and [CoII(L•)2][NO3]2.

AbstractA new NiII compound, [Ni2(tfpa)2(bipy)2(H2O)4] (1) with tetrafluorophthalate (tfpa2−) and 2,2′-bipyridine (abbreviated as bipy) ligands, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the tfpa2− anions act as bis-monodentate linkers connecting NiII centers to form the dinuclear structure of 1. The dimeric units are stabilized by intramolecular π–π stacking and are further connected into a layer through O–HLO hydrogen bonding. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data in the 10–200 K temperature range indicate weak ferromagnetic coupling between the two NiII ions.

Stereoisomerization and the unprecedented phenomenon of metal translocation in the absence of redox processes were probed in two inherently chiral bimetallic [2]catenanes by using a combination of variable-temperature 1H NMR and CD spectroscopies, X-ray crystallography, and DFT calculations.

The dimeric complex Ru2(µ-Cl)2Cl2(CO)4(PMe3)2 (1) forms an active silane alcoholysis complex in the polar solvent N,N-dimethylamino-acetamide (DMA). The dynamic behaviour of 1 in DMF-d7 solution has been investigated by variable temperature (VT) 1H NMR. The solid state structures of 1 and cis,cis,trans-RuCl2(CO)2(PMe3)2 (3) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffractometry. Using ethylene glycol - triethylsilane as a model system, the catalytic activity of 1 in DMA is compared to that of a series of known silane alcoholysis catalysts, including RhCl(PPh3)3, PdX2 (X = Cl-, OAc-), and cis,cis,trans-[IrH2S2L2]SbF6 (L = PPh3, S = THF). Complex 3 is not an active silane alcoholysis catalyst in this solvent, but is active in nonpolar solvents. Its structure and spectroscopic signature is, however, different from that of a previously reported catalyst of the same composition.Key words: silane alcoholysis, polar solvent, ruthenium catalyst.

The synthesis of [3.3]dithia-bridged cyclophanes 7, 9 and 11 incorporating a fused heterocycle, thieno[2,3-b]thiophene is described. The structures are established by 1H NMR analysis and, in the case of 11, also by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Conformational analysis by variable temperature NMR suggests that cyclophanes 7, 9 and 11 exhibit conformationally rigid bridges and rings at least up to 130 °C. Energy minimization of 11 revealed anti -11 to be the most stable conformation. Although, the computed energy difference between the most stable conformation anti -11 and the next higher energy conformation syn-anti -11 is only 2.98 kJ/mol, it is intriguing that 11 does not exhibit thia-bridge inversion even at elevated temperatures.
