- Description: A series of polydentate POM-selective, sulfur-containing amide ligands have been synthesized from ro-dibromoalkanes and mercaptoacetanilide, The resulting 3,6- dithiaoctanediamides and 3,7-dithianonanediamides, some of which contain a polymerisable group, were all characterized by high-resolution MS, IR, I Hand I3C NMR spectroscopic methods. Various approaches to the polymerisable ligands were explored, the most efficient proving to be the incorporation of an allyl ether moiety in the mercaptoacetanilide. The corresponding Pd(U) and Pt(II) complexes were also prepared from the metal chloride salts and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. The NMR data indicates that both the cis- and transcomplexes were formed, while the IR data indicates cis- coordination of the chlorine . ligands. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP's), prepared using platinum(II) mercaptoacetanilide and 3,6-dithiadiamide complexes, showed high selectivity for , , palladium(II) [in the presence of Pt(II), CoCII), Cu(II) and Ni(II)] as determined by . ICP-MS analysis. The more kinetically inert Pt(II) ions however, slowly displaced Pd(II), confirming the Pt(II) selectivity of the MIP's. Solvent extraction studies were conducted to explore the selectivity of the 3,6- dithiaoctanediamides and 3,7-dithianonanediamides for Pd(U) over CoCII), Cu(U) and Ni(II). The ICP-MS data indicate that, in general, equilibration was achieved within ten minutes and that the longer-chain amides were less selective than the shorter-chain analogues. , KMBT_363 , Adobe Acrobat 9.54 Paper Capture Plug-in

- Description: This study investigates the coordination modes of potential multidentate N,O-donor Schiff base ligands to the [ReVO]3+ and fac-[ReI(CO)3]+ cores. The project is aimed at the synthesis of tridentate, tetradentate and pentadentate Schiff bases ligands derived from the condensation reactions of benzaldehyde with different primary amines. The structures of these Schiff bases and their complexes were confirmed by using physical characterization methods, namely melting points, UV-Visible, UV-emission, 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry and elemental analysis. To further understand the coordination chemistry of rhenium, the prepared diiminediphenol N2O2-donor Schiff base ligand N N′-o-phenylene-bis(salicylaldimine) (H2salphen) was reacted with trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] to yield cis-[ReCl2(ophsal)(PPh3)], whereas its reaction with trans-[ReOBr3(PPh3)2] resulted in the formation of the cis-[ReBr2(aphsal)(PPh3)].2CH3CN complex. In the above complexes the H2salphen ligand was cleaved leading to the coordinated tridentate ophsal NO2- and aphsal N2O-donor ligands. The reaction of H3aphsal with trans-[ReOBr3(PPh3)2] in toluene led to an unexpected compound, trans- [{[ReBr(aphsal)(PPh3)2]Br}{[ReBr(aphsal)(PPh3)2](ReO4)}] with an imido [ReNR]3+core. The ligand aphsal was coordinated tridentately with the doubly deprotonated amino nitrogen leading to Re(V)-imido complexes. The reaction of 2-((Z)-(2-aminoethylimino)methyl)phenol (H3amphol) with [Re(CO)5Cl] led to the rhenium(I) product fac-[Re(CO)3(H3amphol)] with H3amphol coordinated as a monoanionic tridentate chelate through its phenolate oxygen and amino nitrogen atoms. The X-ray crystal structures showed that all complexes display a distorted octahedral geometry around the central rhenium atom. The reaction of 2,6-bis(2-hydroxyphenylimino)pyridine (H2hpp) with cis-[ReO2I(PPh3)2] resulted in the reduced Re(III) product trans-[Re(hpp)(PPh3)2]I, while trans-[Re(hpp)(PPh3)2](ReO4) was isolated from its reaction with trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2]. The H2hpp ligand acts as a pentadentate N3O2-donor ligand where the two phenolic protons undergo deprotonation and its three nitrogens act as neutral donor atoms. Both compounds resulted from a disproportionation reaction characterized by the produced perrhenate counter-ion. The complex fac-[Re(CO)3(H2hpp)Cl] was prepared from [Re(CO)5Cl] and H2hpp in toluene. The H2hpp ligand acted as a neutral bidentate N,N-donor chelate. The metal is coordinated to three carbonyl donors in a facial orientation, two neutral nitrogen atoms and a chloride ligand. The reactions of the potentially tetradentate ligand N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneimine) (H2salen) with different rhenium(V) precursors resulted in the formation of two dimeric oxorhenium (V) compounds. In the reaction of H2salen with trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] in ethanol, the highly unusual distorted dimeric complex (μ-salen)[ReOCl2(PPh3)]2 was isolated, in which salen2- is coordinated as a tetradentate to two oxorhenium(V) centres, and salen2- is present as a bidentate monoanionic ligand on each rhenium center. The reaction of cis- [ReO2I(PPh3)2] with H2salen led to the formation of the neutral dimeric oxorhenium(V) complex (μ-O)[ReO(salen)]2 in which the tetradentate chelate salen acts as a tetradentate dianionic ligand through its phenolate oxygens and nitrogen atoms of the azomethine groups. In its reaction with H2hmp the compound (μ-O)[ReO(hmp)]2 was isolated. In this product the pentadentate ligand H2hmp coordinated as tetradentate via its phenolic oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The reaction of the potentially tetradentate N1,N2-bis(aminobenzylidene)-1,2-ethylenediamine (H2amben) with trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] led to the formation of the monocationic square-pyramidal complex salt [ReO(amben)](ReO4.

- Description: This study investigated the synthesis of rhenium(I) and rhenium(V) complexes with a variety of multidentate NS, NSO, NO and SO-donor ligands. It also investigated the synthesis of dinuclear dihalogeno- and trihalogeno-bridged rhenium(I) complexes based on the fac-[Re(CO)3]+ core. The reactions of hydrated folic acid with [Re(CO)5X] (X = Cl, Br) were studied, and the complexes [Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+[Re2(μ-X)3CO)6]−.5H2O [X= Br (1), Cl(2)] were isolated. The reaction of orotic acid potassium salt [Re(CO)5Br] was performed, and the complex [Re2(μ-Br)2(CO)8] was isolated. The reaction of bis(piperidin-1- yl)methanone with [Re(CO)5Cl] followed by recrystallisation of the resulting precipitate in dichloromethane/acetontrile resulted in the complex [Re2(μ- Cl)2(CO)6(MeCN)2]. The X-ray crystal structures show that all these complexes display a distorted octahedral geometry around the central rhenium atoms. The reactions of aroylhydrazone-based ligands such as 3-((pyridin- 2yl)methyleneamino)-2,3-dihydro-2-pyridin-2yl)quinazolin-4-(1H)-one (Hppq) and N-(di(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)benzohydrazide (Hdpmb) with [Re(CO)5Cl] were studied and led to the formation of the complexes [Re(CO)3Cl(Hdpmb)] and [Re(CO)3Cl(Hppq)]. The Hdpmb and Hppq coordinated to the fac-[Re(CO)3]+ core as neutral bidentate chalates via the pyridinic nitrogens (for Hdpmb) and via imino and pyridinic nitrogens for Hppq. The X-ray crystal structures show that the geometry around the rhenium in both complexes is a distorted octahedral. The treatment of the dithizone (H2dz) ligand with rhenium(V) precursors containing a triphenylphosphine group (PPh3) led to the decomposition of dithizone. The decomposition product reacted with the triphenylphosphine group and generated a new ligand triphenylphosphazeno-N-phenylmethanethiohydrazide (H2L). The reaction of trans-[ReOX3(PPh3)2] (X = Cl, Br) with dithizone (H2dz) led to the complex [ReO(dz)2][ReO(HL)2]. The reaction of trans-[ReOI2(OEt)(PPh3)2] with H2dz led to the same product. The reaction of cis-[ReO2I(PPh3)2] with H2dz in methanol led to [ReO(dz)2][ReO(HL)2](MeOH)2 in which methanol bonded to HLvia hydrogen bonds. The H2dz was doubly deprotonated and coordinated to the [ReO]3+ moiety via a thiolate sulfur and deprotonated hydrazinic nitrogen to yield [ReO(dz)2]−, while the H2L was singly deprotonated and coordinated to [ReO]3+ moiety via the neutral sulfur atom and deprotonated hydrazinic nitrogen to yield [ReO(HL)2]+. The X-ray crystal structure show that in both [ReO(HL)2]+ and [ReO(dz)2]−, the rhenium atoms are five-coordinated and adopt a distorted squarebased pyramidal geometry. The reaction of thiosemicarbazones such as salcylidene-4- phenylthiosemicarbazide (H3salpt) with cis-[ReO2I(PPh3)2] was investigated and led to the complex [ReO(Hsalpt)(H2salpt)]. The X-ray study reveals that Hsalpt is present as a tridentate chelate coordinating via the thiolate sulfur, imino nitrogen and phenolic oxygen, while H2salpt coordinates as a bidentate chelate via the thiolate sulfur and imino nitrogen atoms. The geometry around rhenium is distorted octahedral. The coordination mode of the benzoylthiourea derivatives 4-tert-butyl-N- (diphenylcarbamothioyl)benzamide (Htpb) and N-(diethylcarbamothioyl)benzamide (Heb) to the [Re2O3]4+ and fac-[Re(CO)3]+ cores were investigated. The reaction of [Re(CO)5Cl] in presence of sodium acetate with Htpb led to the dimeric complex [Re(CO)3(tpb)]2 in which the tpb coordinated to the fac-[Re(CO)3]+ core via the ketonic oxygen and bridging thiolate sulfur. The same reaction with Heb led to the monomeric complex [Re(CO)3(eb)(Heb)], in which the eb coordinates to the fac-[Re(CO)3]+core via thiolate sulfur and ketonic oxygen with Heb binding via the neutral sulfur atom. The reaction of Heb with cis-[ReO2I(PPh3)2] at room temperature with excess of sodium acetate led to the dimeric complex (μ-O)[ReO(eb)2]2 in which Heb is present as a monoanionic (deprotonated) bidentate with coordination through the thiolate sulfur and ketonic oxygen.
