Exchange interaction through hydrogen-bond bridges and the effect of a single-oxygen bridge. Crystal structures and magnetic susceptibilities of two binuclear copper(II) complexes of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol
“…Dinuclear copper(II) complexes in which the metals are bridged by only a single hydroxo, alkoxo or phenoxo-oxygen group are relatively rare, 34,42,[45][46][47][48][49][50] and a none straightforward correlation between structure and magnetism has been developed. However, similar compounds with double (OR) groups have been extensively studied.…”

“…As a matter of fact, doubly Hbridged copper dimers can exhibit experimental coupling constants between limiting values of À4 cm À1 [35] and À94 cm À1 [36]. Different intermediate values have also been reported [22,37] as well as density functional calculations on these dimers [29]. As compared to values up to À94 cm À1 , the observed exchange is weaker in the studied compound.…”

“…Though vast number of examples is dominating in the literature with magnetic interaction through superexchange pathway in the presence of bridging ligands between paramagnetic centers, but magnetic coupling only by the operation of H-bonding is very rare. 66−69…”
Three new multicomponent
crystals
1a–1c
of
Zn(II), Mn(II), and Co(II), respectively, were synthesized by the
reaction of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine, the respective metal salts,
and sodium benzoate in a 1:1:2 ratio. One component of these multicomponent
crystals
1a–1c
is the dicationic 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine
metal complex and the other component is the dianionic tetrabenzoate
complex of the same metal. The complexes were fully characterized
by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The X-ray structure
of these compounds
1a–1c
reveals the formation
of 1D supramolecular chain parallel to the crystallographic
b
axis via H-bonding interactions between the dicationic
and dianionic parts of the respective compound. The Mn(II) (
1b
) and Co(II) (
1c
) complexes show antiferromagnetic
coupling between the two associated metal centers via the H-bonding
interaction pathway. All the three compounds
1a–1c
were tested as heterogeneous catalytic systems for the successful
conversion of epoxides to cyclic carbonates in solvent-free condition
under approximately 10 bar of pressure of CO
2
and temperature
ranging between 60 and 80 °C along with tetrabutyl ammonium bromide
acting as a cocatalyst. All the three compounds
1a–1c
were found to have turnover number more than 1000 for the respective
epoxides except for the conversion of cyclohexene oxide to cyclohexene
carbonate.
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.
