Ru(hfac)3 (2) was synthesized via peroxide oxidation of the Ru(II) species [Na][Ru(hfac)3] (1) (hfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate). Treatment of either 1 or 2 with CF3SO3H in MeCN generated cis-Ru(hfac)2(MeCN)2 (3). Ru(acac)2(hfac) (4) (acac = acetylacetonate) was generated by addition of hfac to an EtOH solution of cis-[Ru(acac)2(MeCN)2][CF3SO3]. Subsequent treatment of 4 with CF3SO3H in MeCN yielded cis-Ru(acac)(hfac)(MeCN)2 (7). Syntheses of [Na][Ru(hfac)2(acac)] (5) and Ru(hfac)2(acac) (6) are also reported. The complexes were characterized generally by elemental analysis, cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis, NMR, and IR spectroscopies. The structures of 2, 3, and 7 were established by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Crystals of 2 are monoclinic with a = 8.7781(4), b = 13.0760(11), c = 19.1857(5) Å, β = 92.2275(5)°, Z = 4, and space group P21/n; those of 3 are monoclinic with a = 25.731(4), b = 8.8332(13), c = 18.1955(4) Å, β = 93.3395(6)°, Z = 8, and space group C2/c; and those of 7 are triclinic with a = 7.6812(9), b = 10.680(2), c = 12.578(2) Å, α = 88.062(6)°, β = 83.874(3)°, γ = 69.5898(15)°, Z = 2, and space group Pbar over 1. The structures were solved by Patterson methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R(F) = 0.036, 0.035, and 0.068 (Rw(F2) = 0.061,Rw(F) = 0.052, and Rw(F) = 0.089), respectively.Key words: ruthenium, β-diketonato complexes, acetylacetonate, 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate, acetonitrile complexes.

[Ru(II)(L)6]2+ complexes were synthesized from [Ru(DMF)6][CF3SO3]3; DMF = dimethylformamide, L = imidazole (Im), N-methylimidazole (NMeIm) and 5-methylimidazole (5MeIm). The 2-methylimidazole complex trans-[Ru(CO)(DMF)(2MeIm)4][CF3SO3]2 (4) was also synthesized via a reaction involving abstraction of CO from DMF; 4 loses CO reversibly at ambient temperature to form [Ru(DMF)(2MeIm)4][CF3SO3]2 (5), and the DMF can be removed to generate a [Ru(CF3SO3)x(2MeIm)4][CF3SO3]y species (x = 2, y = 0, or x = 1 = y), containing coordinated triflate. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, UV-vis, NMR, and IR spectroscopies. The structures of [Ru(Im)6][CF3SO3]2 (1), [Ru(NMeIm)6][CF3SO3]2 (2), and [Ru(5MeIm)6][CF3SO3]2 (3) were established by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Crystals of 1, are triclinic, a = 7.4010(6), b = 9.9846(15), c = 11.275(2) Å, α = 113.469(5), β = 92.419(2), γ = 94.737(2)°, Z = 1, space group P1 ; those of 2, are trigonal, a = 11.558(2), c = 8.109(3) Å, Z = 1, space group P3; and those of 3, are trigonal, a = 12.6547(4), c = 20.4078(12) Å, Z = 3, space group R3. The structures were solved by Patterson methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R(F) = 0.029, 0.034, and 0.034 (R w (F2) = 0.055, R w (F) = 0.031, and R w (F2) = 0.058), respectively. Key words: hexakis(imidazole)ruthenium(II) triflates, crystal structures, CO abstraction.

The new phenanthroline ligand 2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-(5′-methylpyridin-2′-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline L has been synthesized and shown to form four-coordinate CuI(L)2 (1) and six-coordinate CuII(L)2 (2) complexes. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography: (1) C50H38CuN6O2.BF4, triclinic, space group P -1, a12·924(3), b 14·567(4), c 12·649(3) Å , α 105·57(2), β 107·68(2), γ 104·00(2)°; (2) C50H38CuN6O2.2PF6, monoclinic, space group P 21/c, a 17·701(5), b 19·285(5), c 14·93(4) Å, β 98·20(2)°. In solution, cyclic voltammetry measurements indicate for the copper(I) and copper(II) complexes a very fast rearrangement of the pyridine substituent with the change of the oxidation state. Surprisingly, the X-ray data show two different coordination modes for the ligand around the copper(I) ion, the 1,10-phenanthroline nucleus being either mono- or bi-dentate. In solution, since the 1H n.m.r. spectra obtained even at several temperatures display only one set of signals, it is proposed that a fast equilibrium takes place between two coordination modes of the phenanthroline

The room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of the title compound (tpyH2)2[Tb(OH2)8]Cl7.~2⅓H2O is recorded. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 17.063(5), b 16.243(3), c 7.878(3) Ǻ, α 84.78(2), β 84.39(3), γ 87.81(2)°, Z = 2 formula units; 3167 'observed' diffractometer reflections were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a residual of 0.057. Notable features of interest of the compound are the 'chelation' of chloride ions by the terpyridinium cations , and the existence of a free [Tb(OH2)8]2+ cation in the presence of an abundance of chloride ions.

The first two complexes of dioxovanadium(V) with salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (SALTSC), of the coordination formulas [VO2(SALTSC-H)]?H2O (1) and NH4[VO2(SALTSC-2H] (2), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductometric measurements, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. The complexes were obtained in the reaction of an aqueous ammoniacal solution of NH4VO3 and SALTSC. The results of the characterization showed that SALTSC was coordinated in the usual ONS tridentate mode as monoanion in complex 1 and dianion in complex 2. In both complexes, the vanadium atom is in a deformed square-pyramidal environment and is slightly shifted towards the apical oxo-ligand (? 0.52 ?).

AbstractThe reaction of the diimine ligand 1,2-bis(1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazolin-2-imino)ethane (BLiPr) with tetrameric [Cp*RuCl]4 in a 1 : 0.75 ratio afforded the complex salt [1][2] containing the 16-electron half-sandwich cation [Cp*Ru(BLiPr)]+ (1) and the dinuclear anion [Cp*Ru(μ- Cl)3RuCp*]− (2). The X-ray crystal structures of [1][2]·31/2THF (monoclinic, space group P21/n, Z = 4) and of [1][2]·THF (monoclinic, space group C2/m, Z = 4) are reported, allowing the structural characterization of the unprecedented anion 2, in which two [(η5-C5Me5)Ru(II)] moieties are bridged by three μ2-chlorine atoms.

The reactions of the LMo(CO)3− ions (L = MeGapz3, HBpz3, Me2Gapz(OCH2CH2NMe2)) with [Cu(PPh3)Cl]4 and Rh(PPh3)3Cl have yielded complexes with Mo—Cu and Mo—Rh bonds. The X-ray crystal structures of two such complexes have been determined. Crystals of [MeGapz3]Mo(CO)3Cu(PPh3) are monoclinic, a = 17.071(2), b = 16.738(1), c = 23.641(3) Å, β = 104.899(6)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n, and those of [MeGapz3]Mo(CO)3Rh(PPh3)2, are triclinic, a = 12.519(3), b = 17.182(4), c = 12.071(2) Å, α = 105.02(1), β = 109.87(1), γ = 97.10(2)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. Both structures were solved by conventional heavy atom methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.040 and Rw = 0.035 for 6296 reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I) and R = 0.036 and Rw = 0.037 for 5642 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively. The former complex provides a rare example of a 3:3:1, or capped octahedral structure, with a short (mean) Mo—Cu distance of 2.513(9) Å. The latter compound displays one terminal and two bridging CO ligands and a Mo—Rh distance of 2.6066(5) Å.

AbstractA new copper(II)/lead(II) complex [(terpy)3CuPb5Br12] (1) (terpy = 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) has been synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The copper(II) and lead(II) ions in the title complex are in distorted six- (Cu(II), Pb(II)) and eight-fold (Pb(II)) coordination environments, in which the donor atoms are provided by bromide anions and nitrogen atoms of the 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine ligands. Complex 1 contains [(terpy)4Pb9Br20]2– building blocks. These bromoplumbate(II) clusters are connected by (terpy)2Cu2Br4 units along the crystallographic b axis and by PbBr6 units along the a axis, thereby forming an extended sheet structure.

Abstract Reaction of 4N-methyl-2-[1-(pyrrol-2-yl)methylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide (4ML1 and 4N-methyl-2-[1-(pyrrol-2-yl)-ethylidene]hydrazine carbothioamide (4ML1) with zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) halides afforded complexes with formulas [M(L)X2] [(L; M; X) =(4ML1; Cd; Cl) (4), (4ML1; Hg; Cl, Br, I) (7 - 9), (4ML2; Cd; Cl) (17), (4ML2; Hg; Cl, Br, I) (20 - 22)] or [M(L)2X2] [(L; M; X) = (4ML1; Zn; Cl, Br, I) (1 - 3), (4ML1; Cd; Br, I) (5, 6), (4ML2; Zn; Cl, Br, I) (14 - 16), (4ML2; Cd; Br, I) (18, 19)]. Reaction of 4ML1 with salts of copper(II), nickel(II), palladium(II) and platinum(II) afforded complexes of formula [M(4ML1-H)2] (10 -13). Crystals of 11, 12 and 19 were studied by X-ray diffractometry, and all new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and IR, electronic and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and, when pertinent and allowed by the solubility of the compound, 113Cd or 199Hg NMR spectroscopy. In the complexes of Group 12 metals, both ligands are neutral and S-monodentate. In the complexes of copper or Group 10 metals, 4ML1 is monodeprotonated and S,N-bidentate.

Despite evidence of coordinative interactions with alkali metal picrates in solution, attempts to crystallize Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+ or Cs+ complexes of a 'doubly crowned' calix [4] arene (obtained by reaction of tetraethylene glycol ditosylate with p-t- butylcalix [4] arene ) have resulted only in the deposition of crystals of the free ligand . A room-temperature single-crystal X-ray study has shown the crystals to be hexagonal, space group P6422, a (= b) 17.092(5), c 20.147(7) Ǻ, V 5097(5) Ǻ3, Z 3, conventional R (on |F|) 0.082 for 1397 'observed' reflections [I > 3σ(I)]. The highly symmetrical oblate-globular shape of this doublecrowncalix allows the enclosure of an extended narrow cavity possibly better suited to the binding of two small metal ions rather than one large.
