Abstract
Five homonuclear cobalt(II) and zinc(II) complexes and two mixed-valence Co(II)/Co(III) coordination species derived from the enantiomers of the macrocycle H3L were synthesized, characterized by spectroscopic methods and their X-ray crystal structures were determined. The large macrocyclic amine L3− composed of three phenol moieties and three trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane units can accommodate three Co(II), Co(III) or Zn(II) ions in three N2O2 compartments, forming [M3L]n+ type complexes. The geometry of these complexes is different for the Zn(II) and Co(II) ions and depends on the counteranion used. Additionally, this macrocycle binds only two metal ions in its partly deprotonated (H2L)− form to give complexes of the type [M2(H2L)]n+. Amine H2L− also forms a tetranuclear [M4(H2L)2]n+ complex, where two macrocyclic units are additionally connected by bridging anions. XRD structures of seven additional coordination species that were isolated as single crystals are also presented.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
