First studies of electron transfer in [N]phenylenes were performed in bimolecular quenching reactions of angular [3]- and triangular [4]phenylene with various electron acceptors. The relation between the quenching rate constants kq and the free energy change of the electron transfer (ΔG0CS ) could be described by the Rehm-Weller equation. From the experimental results, a reorganization energy λ of 0.7 eV was derived. Intramolecular electron transfer reactions were studied in an [N]phenylene bichomophore and a corresponding reference compound. Fluorescence lifetime and quantum yield of the bichromophor display a characteristic dependence on the solvent polarity, whereas the corresponding values of the reference compound remain constant. From the results, a nearly isoenergonic ΔG0CS can be determined. As the triplet quantum yield is nearly independent of the polarity, charge recombination leads to the population of the triplet state.
Ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(L-N4Me2)(dape)](PF6)2 {[1](PF6)2}, [Ru(L-N4Me2)(tape)](PF6)2 {[2](PF6)2}, and [{Ru(L-N4Me2)}2(mu-tape)](PF6)4 {[3](PF6)4} were synthesized in two reaction steps by first reacting [Ru(DMSO)4Cl2] with tetraazamacrocyclic ligand N,N'-dimethyl-2,11-diaza[3.3](2,6)-pyridinophane (L-N4Me2) in ethanol under microwave irradiation to the intermediate [Ru(L-N4Me2)Cl2], which was subsequently, without further isolation, reacted with 1,12-diazaperylene (dape) or 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene (tape). X-ray structures of [Ru(L-N4Me2)(dape)](PF6)2, [Ru(L-N4Me2)(tape)](PF6)2.acetone, and [{Ru(L-N4Me2)}2(mu-tape)](ClO4)4.MeCN were determined. The UV/Vis absorption spectra of [1](PF6)2, [2](PF6)2, and [3](PF6)4 in acetonitrile display intense low-energy dp(Ru)?p* (dape or tape) MLCT absorption bands centered at 579, 637, and 794 nm, respectively. Reversible metal oxidations for the bimetallic complex [{Ru(L-N4Me2)}2(mu-tape)]4+ ([3]4+) are detected at 1.69 and 1.28 V vs. SCE. The potential difference ?E = 410 mV and the intervalence-charge-transfer (IVCT) transition at 2472 nm indicate a high degree of electronic interaction between the two ruthenium ions mediated through the tape bridging ligand. All three complexes, [1]2+, [2]2+, and [3]4+, were characterized by UV/Vis spectroelectrochemistry. The monooxidized and monoreduced states, [1]3+, [2]3+, [3]5+, and [1]+, [2]+, [3]3+, are accessible by reversible one-electron oxidation and one-electron reduction processes, respectively, as documented by the observation of several stable isosbestic points in the spectral progressions. The second reduction in each complex and the second oxidation in [3]4+ prove to be irreversible in these spectroelectrochemical experiments. Monoreduced species [1]+, [2]+, and [3]3+ yield EPR signals indicating that the unpaired electron is mainly centered on the large surface ligands dape or tape.
We report the synthesis of free 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene (tape). Tape was obtained from 1,1'-bis-2,7-naphthyridine by potassium promoted cyclization followed by oxidation with air. Mono-and dinuclear ruthenium(II) 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene complexes of the general formulas [Ru(L-L)(2)(tape)](PF6)(2), [1] (PF6)(2)-[5](PF6)(2), and [{Ru(L-L)(2)}(2)(mu-tape)](PF6)(4), [6](PF6)(4)-[10](PF6)(4), with{L-L = phen, bpy, dmbpy (4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), dtbbpy (4,4'-ditertbutyl-2,2'-bipyridine) and tmbpy (4,4' 5,5'-tetramethyl-2,2'- bipyridine)}, respectively, were synthesized. The X-ray structures of tape center dot 2CHCl(3) and the mononuclear complexes [Ru(bpy)(2)(tape)](PF6)(2)center dot 0.5CH(3)CN center dot 0.5toluene, [Ru(dmbpy)(2)(tape)] (PF6)(2)center dot 2toluene and [Ru(dtbbpy)(2)(tape)](PF6)(2) center dot 3acetone center dot 0.5H(2)O were solved. The UV-vis absorption spectra and the electrochemical behavior of the ruthenium(II) tape complexes were explored and compared with the data of the analogous dibenzoeilatin (dbneil), 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpym) and tetrapyrido [3,2-a:2',3'-c:3 '',2''-h:2''',3'''-j] phenazin (tpphz) species.
There is a demand for new and robust PdII extractants due to growing recycling rates. Chelating dithioethers are promising substances for solvent extraction as they form stable square-planar complexes with PdII. We have modified unsaturated dithioethers, which are known to coordinate PdII, and adapted them to the requirements of industrial practice. The ligands are analogues of 1,2-dithioethene with varying electron-withdrawing backbones and polar end-groups. The crystal structures of several ligands and their palladium complexes were determined as well as their electro- and photochemical properties, complex stability and behaviour in solution. Solvent extraction experiments showed the superiority of some of our ligands over conventionally used extractants in terms of their very fast reaction rates. With highly selective 1,2-bis(2-methoxyethylthio)benzene (4) it is possible to extract PdII from a highly acidic medium in the presence of other base and palladium-group metals.
Especially sulphur containing compounds are suitable for the separation of noble metals. 1,2-Dithioethenes are weak chelate-forming ligands and in the case of bis(methylthio)maleo-nitrile the donor power of both of the sulphur atoms is further decreased by the electron withdrawing effect of the cyanogroups. Crowned dithiomaleonitrile are macrocyclic chelate ligands which extract Pd(II) at sufficient rate in a very good yields. The synthesis of the immobilised ligands proceeds from the 2-allyloxy-1,2-propanediol forming the dicar-bon acid which is reduced to the diole. With the help of thionylchloride the dichloro compound is synthe-sized forming the macrocycle together with a dithiolate (1,2-disodium-1,2-dicyanethene-1,2-dithiolate, 1,2-disodium-4-methylbenzene-1,2-dithiolate) at high dilution conditions. The allylsubstituted crown ether is sillylated and the resulting alkoxysilane is immobilised onto activated silica gel. The extraction results with crown ethers are compared with that achieved with the help of substituted ß- diketones and 4-acyl-5-pyrazolones. By modification of the cavity of the macrocyclus the extraction rate increases from the acyclic compound through maleonitrile-dithio-21-crown-7, maleonitrile-dithio-15-crown-5 and maleonitrile-18-crown-6. The best results can be observed at the maleonitrile-dithio-12-crown-4. The rise of the function log D= f(log L) gives the composition of the extracted compounds as 1:1. The separa-tion is unsatisfactory in the case of Ag(I), Hg(II), Pt(II), Tl (I) and the most 3d-elements. Summarizing, a very good separation of palladium from the examined elements can be specified. Additional to the extraction experiments, as well as the crystal structures and by UV spectroscopy the for- mation constants of selected chelates were determined.
2,11-Dialkylated 1,12-diazaperylenes (alkyl = Me, Et, iPr) dmedap, detdap and dipdap have been synthesized by reductive cyclization of 3,3-dialkylated 1,1-biisoquinolines 3a-c, resulting in the first copper(I) complexes of a large- surface ligand. The new copper(I) complexes show low-energy MLCT absorptions unprecedented for bis(-diimin)copper(I) complexes. The solid structures of the complexes[Cu(dipdap)2]BF4·CH2Cl2·1.5H2O, [Cu(dipdap)2]OTf·CH2Cl2, [Cu(dipdap)2]I·C2H4Cl2·THF·2H2O, [Cu(dmedap)2]OTf and [Cu(dipdap)2]AQSO3·H2O (AQSO3 = sodium 9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxo-2- anthracenesulfonate) are reported. In [Cu(dipdap)2]BF4·CH2Cl2·1.5H2O, each copper(I) complex cation interacts with two others by - stacking interactions forming a novel supramolecular column structural motif running along the crystallographic c axis. In the crystalline compound [Cu(dipdap)2]AQSO3·H2O, aggregation between two complex cations and two additional anions by - stacking interactions is observed, leading to a tetrameric assembly. Furthermore, the three complex compounds [Cu(L)2]BF4 (L = dmedap, detdap, dipdap) were tested for sensory applications in aqueous buffer solutions in electrochemical studies of the complex immobilized on glassy carbon electrodes.
The first heterodinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes of the 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene (tape) bridging ligand with iron(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) were synthesized and characterized. The metal coordination sphere in this complexes is filled by the tetradentate N,N-dimethyl-2,11-diaza[3.3](2,6)-pyridinophane (L-N4Me2) ligand, yielding complexes of the general formula [(L-N4Me2)Ru(mu-tape)M(L-N4Me2)](ClO4)(2)(PF6)(2) with M = Fe {[2](ClO4)(2)(PF6)(2)}, Co {[3](ClO4)(2)(PF6)(2)}, and Ni {[4](ClO4)(2)(PF6)(2)}. Furthermore, the heterodinuclear tape ruthenium(II) complexes with palladium(II)- and platinum(II)-dichloride [(bpy)(2)Ru(-tape)PdCl2](PF6)(2) {[5](PF6)(2)} and [(dmbpy)(2)Ru(-tape)PtCl2](PF6)(2) {[6](PF6)(2)}, respectively were also prepared. The molecular structures of the complex cations [2](4+) and [4](4+) were discussed on the basis of the X-ray structures of [2](ClO4)(4)MeCN and [4](ClO4)(4)MeCN. The electrochemical behavior and the UV/Vis absorption spectra of the heterodinuclear tape ruthenium(II) complexes were explored and compared with the data of the analogous mono- and homodinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes of the tape bridging ligand.
Homoleptic Ni-II and Fe-II complexes of the "large-surface" phenanthroline-type ligand 1,12-diazaperylene (dap), [Ni(dap)(3)](BF4)(2) (1) and [Fe(dap)(3)](PF6)(2) (2), respectively, were synthesized. In the crystal structure the complex cation [M(dap)(3)](2+) (M = Ni, Fe) exhibits C-3 symmetry and interacts with three other cations by pi-pi stacking. It forms a new metalla-supramolecular assembly with a honeycomb structure containing nanochannels running parallel to the crystallographic c axis. Aggregation by pi-pi stacking between metal complexes of "large-surface" ligands should give new perspectives for inorganic supramolecular chemistry.
Especially sulphur containing compounds are suitable for the separation of noble metals[ , ]. 1,2-Dithioethenes are weak chelate-forming ligands [ ]and in the case of bis(methylthio)maleonitrile[ ] the donor power of both of the sulphur atoms is further decreased by the electron withdrawing effect of the cyanogroups. Crowned dithiomaleonitrile are macrocyclic chelate ligands which extract Pd(II) at sufficient rate in a very good yields. The reason for that extraction behaviour is the fact that Pd(II) favours the square planar coordination geometry in opposite to the 3d- elements. The synthesis of the immobilized ligands proceeds from the 2-allyloxy-1,2-propanediol forming the dicarbon acid which is reduced to the diole. With the help of thionylchloride the dichloro compound is synthesized forming together with a dithiolate (1,2-disodium-1,2-dicyanethene-1,2-dithiolate, 1,2-disodium-4-methylbenzene-1,2-dithiolate [ ]) at high dilution conditions the macrocycle. Than the allysubstituted crown ether is sillylated and the resulting alkoxysilane is immobilised onto activated silca gel. The substituent forms in the same time a spacer should be modified in the future. By immobilisation at an inactive matrix the selectivity of the ligand should be applied for the accumulation of palladium from diluted solutions. The extraction was performed from nitric acid solution with a yield of 93% into a ligand solution (chloroform, kerosine). The extraction equilibrium is reached after 10 min. By atomic absorption spectroscopy the metal concentration in the aqueous phase was determined to calculate the extraction rate. By modification of the cavity of the macrocyclus the extraction rate increases from the acyclic compound through maleonitrile-dithio-21-crown-7, maleonitrile-dithio-15-crown-5 and maleonitrile-18-crown-6. The best results can be observed at the maleonitrile-dithio-12-crown-4. The rise of the function lg D= f(lg L) gives the composition of the extracted compounds as 1:1. The separation is unsatisfactory in the case of Ag(I), Hg(II), Pt(II), Tl (I) and the most 3d-elements. Also Ni(II) as a representative for the 3d-elements shows only separations coefficients of 1.43?103 . Summarizing, a very good separation of palladium from the examined elements can be specified. Additional to the extraction experiments, as well as the crystal structures and by UV spectroscopy the formation constants of selected chelates were determined. The observed order corresponds to that found by the extraction of palladium in the system water/chloroform. In the case of maleonitrile-dithio-15-crown-5 Ag(I) is endocyclic coordinated with all donor atoms of the macrocyclus. Already maleonitrile-dithio-18-crown-6 can include the silver cation into its greater cavity. In these cases a 1:1 complex is formed. A 1:2 sandwich structure was noticed only in the case of the smaller ligand maleonitrile- dithio-12-crown-4. Obviously, the formation of that structure is not favoured in the system water/chloroform from which can be explained the unfavourable extraction results.
