Binucleating aza-sulfonate and aza-sulfinate macrocycles : Synthesis and coordination chemistry
(2004)
The preparation and ligating properties of S-oxygenated derivatives of a macrobinucleating hexaazadithiophenolate macrocycle H2L1 of the Robson type towards nickel(II) and zinc(II) ions are reported. Nickel complexes of the hexaazadiphenylsulfonate ligand (L-2)(2-)[(L-2)Ni-2(II)(mu-L)](+)(L = m-Cl-OBz(-) (3), Cl- (4) and OAc- (6)] are readily obtained in high yields by oxidation of the respective [(L-1)Ni-2(II)(mu-L)](+) parent complexes [L = m- Cl-OBz- (2), Cl- (1), OAc- (5)] with meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid or hydrogen peroxide. Decomposition of the sulfonate complexes gives the free macrocycle H2L2 which, upon treatment with Zn(OAc)(2)(.)2H(2)O, produces the diamagnetic zinc complex [(L-2)Z(2)(II)(OAc)](+) (8). A dinuclear Cu-II complex of the hexaazadisulfinate derivative (L-3')(2-), [(L-3)CU2II](2+) (9), is formed rather unexpectedly by air oxidation of (L-1)(2-) in the presence of Cu-I. The crystal- structure determinations of the perchlorate or tetraphenylborate salts of 2, 3, and 4 show that the new ligands support the formation of binuclear complexes with bowl-shaped, calixarene-like binding cavities. NMR spectroscopic studies of 8 show that the complexes retain their solid-state structures in solution. A crystal-structure determination of 9 reveals two five-coordinate Cu-II ions bridged by the two sulfinate functions of (L-3)(2-)
