Abstract:

The synthesis and characterization of complexes of the macrobicyclic ligand Me₈tricosane (1,5,5,9,13,13,20,20-octamethyl-3,7,11,15,18,22-hexaazabicyclo-[7.7.7]tricosane) with Ni(II) and Mn(II) are reported, along with further details of the synthesis and characterization of complexes of Mn(II) and Cr(III) with the related ligand Me₅tricosane (1,5,9,13,20-pentamethyl-3,7,11,15,18,22-hexaazabicyclo[7.7.7]tricosane). X-ray structural analysis of (H₃O)[Cr(Me₅tricosane)]Cl₄·3H₂O revealed the presence of longer Cr-N bonds than in comparable Cr(III) hexaamine complexes, but this was accompanied by modest alterations to electronic spectroscopy and electrochemical behavior. Both Me₅tricosane and Me₈tricosane formed Mn(II) complexes which exhibited magnetic and electronic properties typical of high spin d⁵ systems. The solid-state structures of [Mn(Me₅tricosane)](NO₃)₂·1.5H₂O and [Mn(Me₈tricosane)]Cl₂·3H₂O revealed a distorted trigonal prismatic MnN₆ chromophore with longer Mn-N bonds than in similar Mn(II) complexes, and both [Mn(Me₅tricosane)]²⁺ and [Mn(Me₈tricosane)]²⁺ exhibited irreversible redox chemistry in cyclic voltammetry experiments. X-ray crystallographic analysis of [Ni(Me₈tricosane)](NO₃)₂·H₂O revealed remarkably long Ni(II)-N bonds, resulting in an unusual blue color for a Ni(II)N₆ complex.

Valence Bond Theory

Valence Bond Theory

Coordination compounds and complexes exhibit different colors, geometries, and magnetic behavior, depending on the metal atom/ion and ligands from which they are composed. In an attempt to explain the bonding and structure of coordination complexes, Linus Pauling proposed the valence bond theory, or VBT, using the concepts of hybridization and the overlapping of the atomic orbitals. According to VBT, the central metal atom or ion (Lewis acid) hybridizes to provide empty orbitals of suitable...

Colors and Magnetism

Color in Coordination Complexes
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

EDTA: Chemistry and Properties

EDTA: Chemistry and Properties

Polydentate ligands are most widely used in complexometric titrations because they form more stable complexes with the metal ions than mono- or bidentate ligands due to the chelate effect. Examples of polydentate ligands are ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), crown ethers, and cryptands. The most important feature of optimal polydentate ligands is the ability to form 1:1 complexes in a single-step process. Amino carboxylic acid derivatives are frequently used as complexing agents. EDTA is...

Structure of Amines

Structure of Amines

The hybridized nitrogen atom in amines possesses a lone pair of electrons and is bound to three substituents with a bond angle of around 108°, which is less than the tetrahedral angle of 109.5°. However, the C–N–H bond angle is slightly larger at 112°, with a carbon–nitrogen bond length of 147 pm. This carbon–nitrogen bond length of of amines is longer than the carbon–oxygen bond of alcohols (143 pm) but shorter than alkanes’ carbon–carbon bond (154 pm). These aspects are...

Complexation Equilibria: The Chelate Effect

Complexation Equilibria: The Chelate Effect

In complexation reactions, metal atoms or cations interact with ligands to form donor-acceptor adducts called metal complexes. Ligands that bind through one donor site are monodentate, ligands with two donor sites are bidentate, and those with more than two donor sites are polydentate ligands. For example, ethylene diamine is a bidentate ligand that binds through two nitrogen donor atoms, forming a five-membered ring. EDTA is a polydentate ligand that binds through four oxygen and two nitrogen...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes

Crystal Field Theory
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
