A new series of donor-stabilized addition complexes of cobalt(II) with disubstituted diphenyldithiophosphates [{(ArO)2PS2}2CoL2] {Ar = 2,4-(CH3)2C6H3 [(1)-(3)] and 3,5-(CH3)2C6H3 [(4)-(6)]; L = C5H5N [(1), (4)], 3,4-(CH3)2C5H3N [(2), (5)] and 4-(C2H5)C5H4N [(3), (6)]} were successfully isolated and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic moment measurements, IR and single-crystal X-ray an...

The ESCA spectra of several substituted benzenes and heterocyclic compounds were obtained. Multi peak structures are observed in the various energy regions. The effects are generally interpreted as due to shake up phenomena involving intramolecular charge-transfer transitions between a "donor" and an "acceptor" group in the molecule. A quantitative model for such kind of phenomena is given. It ...

In electron-transfer, the change in the oxidation state of the reactants is generally accompanied by structural changes, which influence the electron-transfer kinetics. Previous studies on the systems of Cu(II/I) complexes involving cyclic tetrathiaether ligands indicated that inversion of coordinated donor atoms may be a primary factor in controlling gated electron transfer. Complex formation ...

The title trinuclear compound, [Cu3(C5H8NS2)Cl2(C6H15P)3], has the di-thio-carbamate ligand symmetrically chelating one CuI atom and each of the S atoms bridging to another CuI atom. Both chloride ligands are bridging, one being μ3- and the other μ2-bridging. Each Et3P ligand occupies a terminal position. Two of the CuI atoms exist within Cl2PS donor sets and the third is based on a ClPS2 donor...

The deprotonated Schiff base ligand in the title compound, [Sn(C(4)H(9))(2)(C(18)H(12)N(2)O(3))], O,N,O'-chelates to the Sn atom, which is five-coordinated in a cis-C(2)NO(2)Sn trigonal-bipyramidal environment. The apical sites are occupied by the O atoms [O-Sn-O = 155.2 (2)°]. The hydr-oxy group is a hydrogen-bond donor to the two-coordinate N atom of an adjacent mol-ecule, the hydrogen-bondin...

The use of metal ions as templates in the synthesis of a range of macrocyclic Schiff base ligands varying in size (15-30 member atoms), in the number and nature of the potential donor atoms, and in flexibility is described. Factors controlling the course of the reactions are discussed. Open-chain intermediates have been isolated in several cases and mechanisms for the cyclizations are proposed....

The Co(III) atom in the title complex, [CoCl(2)(C(40)H(48)N(4))]ClO(4), is octa-hedrally coordinated within a trans-Cl(2)N(4) donor set provided by the tetra-dentate macrocylic ligand and two chloride ions. The N-H atoms, which are orientated to one side of the N(4) plane, form hydrogen bonds with chloride ions and perchlorate-O atoms. These along with C-H⋯O inter-actions consolidate the three-...

A new Cd(II) complex with the ligand 4'-chloro-2,2'6',2''-terpyridine (Cltpy), [Cd(Cltpy)(I)(2)], has been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, and IR spectroscopy and structurally analyzed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The single-crystal X-ray analyses show that the coordination number in complex is five with three terpyridine (Cltpy) N-donor ato...

The V(IV) atom in the title complex, [V(C(11)H(13)BrClN(2)O)(C(5)H(7)O(2))O], is six-coordinated by one phenolate O, one imino N and one amino N atom of the tridentate anionic Schiff base ligand, by one oxide O atom, and by two O atoms of an acetyl-acetonate anion, forming a distorted cis-VN(2)O(4) octa-hedral coordination geometry. The deviation of the V atom from the plane defined by the thre...

In the title heteronuclear Zn(II)-Sm(III) complex, [SmZn(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)(CH(3)CH(2)OH)], with the hexa-dentate Schiff base compartmental ligand N,N'-bis-(3-methoxy-salicyl-idene)ethyl-enediamine (H(2)L), the Sm(III) and Zn(II) ions are triply bridged by two phenolate O atoms from the Schiff base ligand and one nitrate anion. The five-coordinate Zn(II) ion is in a square-pyramidal ...
