The phenol-based macrocyclic ligands (L2,3)2- and (L2,4)2-, derived from the [2:1:1] condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol, ethylenediamine, and 1,3-trimethylenediamine or 1,4-tetramethylenediamine, have a salen-like metal-binding site (salen = N,N‘-ethylenedisalicylideneaminate) and a saltn- or salbn-like metal-binding site (saltn = N,N‘-trimethylenedisalicylideneaminate, salbn = N,N‘-tetramethylenedisalicylideneaminate) sharing the phenolic moieties. They form the (μ-phenoxo)2CoIIMII complexes [CoMn(L2,3)(AcO)]ClO4·DMF (1), [CoMn(L2,4)(AcO)]ClO4 (2), [CoCo(L2,3)(AcO)]ClO4 (3), [CoCo(L2,4)(AcO)]ClO4 (4), [CoZn(L2,3)(AcO)]ClO4 (5), and [CoZn(L2,4)(AcO)]ClO4 (6). Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with a = 10.027(3) Å, b = 11.713(3) Å, c = 26.821(9) Å, β = 93.85(2)°, V = 3142(1) Å3, and Z = 4. The Co and Mn ions are bridged by the two phenolic oxygens of the macrocycle and an acetate group in the syn-syn mode. The CoII in the salen site is of low-spin and assumes a square-pyramidal geometry with an acetate oxygen at the axial site. The MnII has a cis six-coordinate geometry with respect to the acetate oxygen and the DMF oxygen. The Mn is displaced 0.955 Å from the basal N2O2 least-squares plane. [CoMn(L2,4)(AcO)]ClO4·DMF (2 ‘) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with a = 10.166(5) Å, b = 11.934(4) Å, c = 27.380(8) Å, β = 93.97(3)°, V = 3313(1) Å3, and Z = 4. It has a dinuclear core similar to that of 1, with square-pyramidal CoII in the salen site and cis six-coordinate MnII in the salbn site. Complex 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄, a = 12.118(3) Å, b = 12.156(2) Å, c = 9.977(1) Å, α = 112.49(1)°, β = 99.22(2)°, γ = 77.63(2)°, V = 1321.1(5) Å3, and Z = 2. Both CoII ions in the salen and saltn sites assume a square-pyramidal geometry with a bridging acetate group in the syn-syn mode. The displacement of the Co in the saltn site, from the basal N2O2 least-squares plane toward the apical acetate oxygen, is 0.53 Å. Complex 5 is found to be isostructural with 3. The complexes 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are reversibly oxygenated in DMF at 0 °C to afford a μ-peroxo dimer complex [{CoIIIMII(L)(AcO)}2(O2 2-)]2+. Complex 3 also forms such a μ-peroxo dimer complex but is irreversibly oxidized through an intramolecular-type μ-peroxo complex [CoIIICoIII(L2,3)(AcO)(O2 2-)]+.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
