Abstract

The monovalent nickel complex formed by the reduction of the β-isomer of the complex of C-5,12- racemic-1,4,5,7,7,8,11,12,14,14-decamethyl-1,4,8,11- tetraazacyclotetradecane nickel(II), NiL₁²⁺ in 0.1 M HCO₂Na, pH 7.6, has a half-life longer than 90 h. The redox potential of the couple NiL₁⁺/NiL₁²⁺ is −0.94 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The absorption spectrum of NiL₁⁺ consists of a band with λ_max = 335 nm and ϵ_max = 2200 M⁻¹ cm⁻¹. For the analogous complex with C-5,12-racemic-5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4, 8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, L₂, the half-life time of NIL₂⁺ is less than 1 min and the redox potential is −1.44 V vs. Ag/AgCl. These results are similar to those reported earlier for the analogous nickel complexes with the meso-isomers of the ligands. The results thus indicate that both the kinetic and thermodynamic stabilization of monovalent nickel by N-methylation of tetraazamacrocyclic ligands is not significantly affected by the configuration of the ligand.

The effect of N-methylation of tetra-aza-alkane copper complexes on the axial binding of anions
1997, Inorganica Chimica Acta
The stability constants of the Cu(II) complex of Me₆tren (Me₆tren=tris-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine) were determined. The axial binding constants of F⁻, Br⁻, I⁻ and N₃⁻ to Cu(tren)²⁺ and Cu(Me₆tren)²⁺ (tren=tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine) were measured. The results obtained are compared with those of the axial binding constants of the isomers, i.e. the complexes Cu(trien)²⁺ and Cu(Me₆trien)²⁺ (trien=1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane; Me₆trien=2,5,8,11-tetramethyl-2,5,8,11-tetraazadodecane). The results point out that N-methylation transforms the Cu(II)L complexes into stronger and harder acids. Properties of the copper complexes with TMC (1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) and with Me₆trpn (tris-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)amine) are also reported.
Stabilities and spectral properties of five-coordinate mixed-ligand copper(II) complexes containing N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine and α-amino acids
1996, Inorganica Chimica Acta
Stabilities of the mixed-ligand copper (II) complexes [Cu (pmdt) (Am)]⁺ containing N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (pmdt) and 10 different α-amino acid anions (Am⁻) and their absorption, CD and ESR spectra are reported. The effect of the C- and N-substituent groups of the amino acid ligand on stability is examined. It was found that the stability depression of the N-substituent is large, while that of the C-substituent is quite small without regard to its bulkiness. The d-d absorption and X- and Q-band ESR spectra suggest that the ternary complexes are of the five-coordinate type with a trigonal bipyramid-based geometry, which causes the distinguishable substituent effect.
Properties of monovalent nickel complexes with tetraaza-macrocyclic ligands in aqueous solutions
1995, Inorganica Chimica Acta
The effects of N-alkylation on the redox potential of the couples NiLⁱ²⁺/NiLⁱ⁺, L = tetraaza-14-membered-macrocyclic ligands, and on the properties of the monovalent nickel complexes in aqueous solutions are reported for 14 complexes. The spectra and lifetimes of the NiLⁱ⁺ complexes are reported. The self-exchange rates for the couples NiLⁱ²⁺/NiLⁱ⁺ were determined. Two of the ligands were synthesized for the first time for this study. Cyclic voltammetry and pulse radiolysis were used. The results point out that: (i) N-alkylation always shifts the redox potential to a less cathodic one; this effect stems to a large degree from the decrease in the solvation energy of the complex caused by the N-alkylation of the ligand. (ii). The lifetime of the monovalent complexes is not linearly related to the redox potential of the NiLⁱ²⁺/NiLⁱ⁺ couples. (iii) The NiLⁱ⁺ complexes exist in several isomeric forms; the rate of the isomerization depends on the structure of the ligand. (iv) Different isomers of NiLⁱ⁺ may be formed when the complex NiLⁱ²⁺ is reduced by different reagents; therefore, the pulse-radiolytically formed NiLⁱ⁺ complexes might have different properties than those formed electrochemically.
The effect of N-methylation on the spectroscopical and electrochemical properties of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane chromium(III) complexes
1992, Inorganica Chimica Acta
trans-[Cr(tmc)X₂] complexes (tmc=1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, XF, Cl, Br, H₂O, OH, NO₃) have been prepared and spectroscopically characterized. The redox potentials of the tmc complexes and of the analogous cyclam complexes (cyclam=1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) were determined by cyclic voltammetry. The potentials of the tmc complexes are 1.1±0.1 V more positive. Their long wavelength absorption is red-shifted by 50 to 100 nm with respect to that of the analogous cyclam complexes. The shift was consistent with a linear dependence of the polarographic half-wave potentials on the transition energies of the first spin allowed ligand field bands, observed on a series of chromium(III) amine complexes. The reaction entropies for the reduction of trans-[Cr(cyclam)(H₂O)₂]³⁺, trans-[Cr(cyclam)(OH)₂]⁺, and trans-[Cr(tmc)(OH)₂]⁺, ΔS=88±2, 200±40 and 53±8 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, respectively, were obtained from the temperature dependence of the redox potential. It was shown that trans-[Cr(cyclam)(H₂O)₂]³⁺ catalyzes the electroreduction of nitrate.
