An easier and more expedient synthesis of 2,6-(BrCH2C6H4)2-4-I-C6H3 (2) is reported. This material allowed easy synthesis of the new pincer ligand precursor 2,6-(4-CH3C6H4SCH2C6H4)2-4-I-C6H3 (3) in 87% yield. Compound 3 reacts with Pd2(dba)3 to give the new palladium pincer complex 4. Compound 4 has been fully characterized, including structural characterization by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The results of the crystallographic work on 4 reveal a twisted type pincer complex not unlike related terphenyl pincer complexes.


The Spectroelectrochemical, Magnetic, And Structural Characterization Of Reduced Hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile, Hat(Cn)6., Joseph Gallegos, Anthony Francis, Nathan Ockwig, Paul Rasmussen, Raphael Raptis, Paul Challen, Issouf Ouedraogo Jul 2009

The cyanoazacarbon, hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile, or HAT(CN)6, is readily reduced and the spectroelectrochemical properties associated with the multiple reductions are described. The singly reduced radical monoanion forms stable salts and we report the crystal structure and magnetic properties for the tetrabutylammonium salt. [Tetra-n-butylammonium] [HAT(CN)6] behaves ferromagnetically below 3K and follows Curie Law behavior at higher temperatures after correction for Pauli-type susceptibility. The room temperature conductivity of the powdered salt is 3.8×10−8S/cm. The crystal structure shows closely bound pairs of radical anions with slip-stacking of these pairs to form a staircase, features that elucidate the observed properties. Thin films of HAT(CN)6 were found …

A Niobium(V) Complex With Mixed O,S-Donor Ligands. Synthesis, Structure And Properties Of The Anion Tris(2-Mercapto-4-Methylphenolato)Niobate(V), Paul Challen, Diane Peapus, Karen Magnes

Reaction of Nb(OEt)5 with 2-mercapto-4-methylphenol (mmpH2) in the presence of triethylamine gave the mononuclear tris complex (Et3NH)[Nb(mmp)3] which was structurally characterized. The coordination geometry around the niobium is between octahedral and trigonal prismatic, with a twist angle of 41.5°. The mercaptophenolate ligands are arranged around the metal in a “propeller” fashion. (Et3NH)[Nb(mmp)3] was characterized by IR, 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies, and cyclic voltammetry. A reversible reduction wave found at −1.03 V is for reduction to the NbIV complex.

Reaction of VO(acac)2 with 2-mercaptophenol (mpH2) in the presence of triethylamine gives the mononuclear tris complex (Et3NH)2[V(mp)3] (1), in which the vanadyl oxygen has been displaced. An analogous reaction using 2-mercapto-4-methylphenol (mmpH2) afforded (Et3NH)(PNP)[V(mmp)3] (2), which was structurally characterized. 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 with unit cell parameters (at −163 °C) a = 23.974(7) Å, b = 9.569(4) Å, c = 25.101(6) Å, and Z = 4. The coordination geometry around the vanadium is between octahedral and trigonal prismatic. Reaction of VO(acac)2 with the sodium salt of 2-mercaptophenol produces the vanadyl(IV) complex Na(Ph4P)[VO(mp)2]·Et2O (3), which crystallizes in …
