Abstract
Mixed-metal carboxylate complexes were synthesized by reacting one equivalent of [Pd3II(μ-OOC(CH2)nCH3)6] with three equivalents of [CoII(OOC(CH2)nCH3)2] where n = 4, 6, 8, or 10. This reaction resulted in the formation of [PdIICoII(µ-OOC(CH2)nCH3)4] where n = 4, 6, 8, or 10. Characterisation via ATR-FTIR revealed that mixed-metal complexes exhibit multiple coordination modes, including unidentate, bidentate, tridendate, and bridging (syn-syn) binding modes. The single crystal X-ray structure of [PdIICoII(μ-OOC(CH2)8CH3)4] (Z = 2, space group P21/c) confirmed the binding modes observed in the ATR-FTIR studies.
Cyclic Voltammetry of [Pd3II(μ-OOC(CH2)nCH3)6] and [PdIICoII(µ-OOC(CH2)nCH3)4] where n = 4, 6, 8, or 10 demonstrated that the redox process for Pd0 → PdII were both chemically and electrochemically irreversible. Furthermore, [PdIICoII(µ-OOC(CH2)nCH3)4] did not exhibit an oxidation wave. Additionally, a progressive decrease in negative reduction of the Pd was observed with increasing carbon chain length.
TGA-MS analysis identified volatile decomposition products such as methane, hydroxide ions, water, carbon monoxide, oxygen, methanol, propyne, carbon dioxide and other species. The non-volatile decomposition residues consisted of metal oxides.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
