A series of mononuclear iron(II) and zinc(II) complexes of the new chiral Py(ProMe) 2 (5) are reported. They all show a meridional NN′N coordination of the Py(ProMe) 2 ligand. The bis-chloride derivatives 1 and 2 represent neutral isostructural five-coordinated complexes with a distorted geometry around the metal center. Unusual sevencoordinate iron(II) complexes 3 and 4 having a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry were obtained using weakly coordinating triflate anions. The reaction of Zn(OTf) 2 with the Py(ProMe) 2 ligand afforded complex 5 with a distorted octahedral geometry around the zinc center. All complexes were formed as single diastereoisomers. In the case of complexes 3−5, the oxygen atoms of both carbonyl groups of the ligand are also coordinated to the metal. The stereochemistry of the coordinated tertiary amine donors in complexes 3−5 is of opposite configuration as in complexes 1 and 2 as a result of the planar penta-coordination of the ligand Py(ProMe) 2 . Complexes 1, 2, and 5 have an overall Λ-configuration at their metal center, while the Fe(II) ion in complexes 3 and 4 has the opposite ∆-configuration (crystal structures and CD measurements). The magnetic moments of iron complexes 1, 3, and 4 correspond to that of high-spin d 6 Fe(II) complexes. The solution structures of complexes 1−5 were characterized by means of UV−vis, IR, conductivity, and CD measurements and their electrochemical behavior. These studies showed that the coordination environment of 1 and 2 observed in the solid state is maintained in solution. In coordinating solvents, the triflate anion (3, 5) or water (4) co-ligands of complexes 3−5 are replaced by solvent molecules with retention of the original pentagonal bipyramidal and octahedral geometry, respectively.
