This study introduces a new nickel complex using a 1,4-diazacycloheptane framework, revealing how ring size impacts nickel dithiolate and dithioether complexes. Structural and electrochemical differences were observed compared to related 1,5-diazacyclooctane complexes.

Area of Science:

  • Coordination chemistry
  • Organometallic chemistry
  • Bioinorganic chemistry

Background:

  • Nickel dithiolate and dithioether complexes are crucial in various catalytic and biological systems.
  • Understanding the influence of ligand framework on metal complex properties is essential for designing new functional materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a new N(2)S(2)Ni complex based on the 1,4-diazacycloheptane (dach) framework.
  • To investigate the effects of varying diamine ring size on the structural, electrochemical, and spectroscopic properties of nickel(II) dithiolate and dithioether complexes.
  • To compare these properties with analogous complexes based on the 1,5-diazacyclooctane (daco) framework.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of novel nickel(II) complexes with 1,4-diazacycloheptane (dach) and 1,5-diazacyclooctane (daco) based ligands.

  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction for molecular structure determination.
  • Electrochemical techniques (e.g., cyclic voltammetry) to probe redox properties.
  • Spectroscopic methods (e.g., UV-Vis, EPR) for characterization.

    • Main Results:

    • The dach-based dithiolate complex ((bmedach)Ni) and S-templated dithioether complex ((propyl-bmedach)NiBr(2)) exhibit smaller cavity sizes and altered bond angles compared to their daco analogues.
    • Electrochemical properties of the dithiolate complexes are similar between dach and daco frameworks.
    • The propyl-bmedach)NiBr(2) complex shows a destabilization of the Ni(I) oxidation state by 140 mV relative to its daco counterpart.

    Conclusions:

    • The diazacycloalkane ring size significantly influences the structural parameters of nickel dithiolate and dithioether complexes.
    • While dithiolate complex electrochemistry is largely insensitive to ring size, the dithioether complex shows notable changes in redox potential.
    • These findings provide insights into ligand design for tuning nickel complex properties for potential applications.
