SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE AND REACTIVITY OF SalanH2-METAL COMPLEXES

Abstract The present work is an exploration into synthesis of complexes of general formula LH2M (where M = Mn, Fe, Cu, and Al). The results obtained for L = Salophan (M = Fe (1), Cu (2)); Salomphan (M = Mn (3), Fe(4), Cu(5); Salpan (M = Fe(6), Cu(7)) and L = Salean (M = AlCl) (8) are reported. When 8 is dissolved in MeOH, [SaleanH2AlOMe]2 (9) is formed. In MeOH, and in the presence of air, 1 and 4 undergo oxidation of both the ligand and metal (Fe(II) to Fe(III) to form the “half” Schiff base complexes, [SalophanHFeOMe]2 (10) and [SalomphanHFeOMe]2 (11). Compounds 9–11 were structurally characterized. Crystal Data: (9) C36H46Al2N4O7, Space Group P-1 (no. 2) with a = 7.536(1) A, b = 10.513(2)A, c = 11.997(2) A, α = 97.72(1), β = 94.040(10)°, γ = 102.73(1), V = 914.8(3) A3 and Z = 2. With 226 parameters refined on 1226 reflections having F>6.0[sgrave](F), the final R values were R = 0.0540 and Rw = 0.0565; (10), C46H46Fe2N4O8, Space Group P-1 (no. 2) with a = 9.400(2) A, b = 10.718(4) A, c = 12.354(3) A, α ...
