Novel vanadium(III) and oxovanadium(IV) compounds with the diamidate ligand 1,2-bis(2-pyridinecarboxamide)benzene (H2bpb) were synthesized and structurally characterized. H2bpb is capable of binding to vanadium in either its anionic (dianionic-monoanionic) or its neutral form, resulting in complexes of various geometries and stoichiometries. The dianionic form (bpb2-), in NHEt3(trans-[VCl2(bpb)]) (1) and [VO(bpb)(H2O)]05dmso036CH3OH013H2O (6x05dmsox036CH3OHx013H2O), acts as a planar tetradentate bis[N-amidate-N-pyridine] equatorial ligand. The monoanionic form (Hbpb-) behaves as an (Npy,Oam) or (Npy,Nam) chelator in [V(Hbpb)3]2CHCl3 (22CHCl3) as well as a mu 2-bridging-eta 4-(Npy,Oam-Npy,Nam) in [VOCl(Hbpb)](2)x2CH3NO2 (3x2CH3NO2), while the neutral H2bpb behaves as a mu 2-bridging-eta 4-bis(Npy,Oam) in [VOCl(H2bpb)](2)x104CH3OHx123thfx074H2O (4x104CH3OH123thf074H2O). Compound 4x104CH3OHx123thfx074H2O crystallizes in the triclinic system P1, with (at 25 degrees C) a = 9140(2) A, b = 11058(2) A, c = 14175(2) A, alpha = 99013(5) degrees, beta = 104728(7) degrees, gamma = 102992(7) degrees, V = 13149(4) A3, Z = 1, while compound 605dmso036CH3OH013H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with (at 25 degrees C) a = 11054(5) A, b = 11407(5) A, c = 16964(7) A, beta = 932(1) degrees, V = 2136(2) A3, Z = 4. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility studies of the dimeric compounds 3x2CH3NO2 and 4x104CH3OH show g values for the V(IV) centers that are slightly smaller than 20 (as expected for d1 ions) and indicate small antiferromagnetic coupling between the two vanadium(IV) centers. Ab initio calculations were also carried out, providing results concerning the effect of the relative strength and the deformation energy involved in the eta 2-(Npy,Nam) and eta 2-(Npy,Oam) bonding modes in the ligation of Hbpb- to vanadium.
Reaction of [V(IV)OCl(2)(THF)(2)] in aqueous solution with 2 equiv of AgBF(4) or AgSbF(6) and then with 2 equiv of 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (4,4'-dtbipy), or 4,4'-di-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine (4,4'-dmbipy) affords compounds of the general formula cis-[V(IV)O(OH)(L(NN))(2)]Y [where L(NN) = bipy, Y = BF(4)(-) (1), L(NN) = 4,4'-dtbipy, Y = BF(4)(-) (2.1.2H(2)O), L(NN) = 4,4'-dmbipy, Y = BF(4)(-) (3.2H(2)O), and L(NN) = 4,4'-dtbipy, Y = SbF(6)(-) (4)]. Sequential addition of 1 equiv of Ba(ClO(4))(2) and then of 2 equiv of bipy to an aqueous solution containing 1 equiv of V(IV)OSO(4).5H(2)O yields cis-[V(IV)O(OH)(bipy)(2)]ClO(4) (5). The monomeric compounds 1-5 contain the cis-[V(IV)O(OH)](+) structural unit. Reaction of 1 equiv of V(IV)OSO(4).5H(2)O in water and of 1 equiv of [V(IV)OCl(2)(THF)(2)] in ethanol with 2 equiv of bipy gives the compounds cis-[V(IV)O(OSO(3))(bipy)(2)].CH(3)OH.1.5H(2)O (6.CH(3)OH.1.5H(2)O) and cis-[V(IV)OCl(bipy)(2)]Cl (7), respectively, while reaction of 1 equiv of [V(IV)OCl(2)(THF)(2)] in CH(2)Cl(2) with 2 equiv of 4,4'-dtbipy gives the compound cis-[V(IV)OCl(4,4'-dtbipy)(2)]Cl.0.5CH(2)Cl(2) (8.0.5CH(2)Cl(2)). Compounds cis-[V(IV)O(BF(4))(4,4'-dtbipy)(2)]BF(4) (9), cis-[V(IV)O(BF(4))(4,4'-dmbipy)(2)]BF(4) (10), and cis-[V(IV)O(SbF(6))(4,4'-dtbipy)(2)]SbF(6) (11) were synthesized by sequential addition of 2 equiv of 4,4'-dtbipy or 4,4'-dmbipy and 2 equiv of AgBF(4) or AgSbF(6) to a dichloromethane solution containing 1 equiv of [V(IV)OCl(2)(THF)(2)]. The crystal structures of 2.1.2H(2)O, 6.CH(3)OH.1.5H(2)O, and 8.0.5CH(2)Cl(2) were demonstrated by X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystal data are as follows: Compound 2.1.2H(2)O crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with (at 298 K) a = 21.62(1) A, b = 13.33(1) A, c = 27.25(2) A, V = 7851(2) A(3), Z = 8. Compound 6.CH(3)OH.1.5H(2)O crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/a with (at 298 K) a = 12.581(4) A, b = 14.204(5) A, c = 14.613(6) A, beta = 114.88(1) degrees, V = 2369(1), Z = 4. Compound 8.0.5CH(2)Cl(2) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca2(1) with (at 298 K) a = 23.072(2) A, b = 24.176(2) A, c = 13.676(1) A, V = 7628(2) A(3), Z = 8 with two crystallographically independent molecules per asymmetric unit. In addition to the synthesis and crystallographic studies, we report the optical, infrared, magnetic, conductivity, and CW EPR properties of these oxovanadium(IV) compounds as well as theoretical studies on [V(IV)O(bipy)(2)](2+) and [V(IV)OX(bipy)(2)](+/0) species (X = OH(-), SO(4)(2)(-), Cl(-)).
