Coordination chemistry oxide complexes

If most of the research on crown and cage thioethers has concerned their synthesis and exploratory work on their coordination chemistry, their complexing properties and capacity to stabilize low oxidation states of transition metals should be expected to lead to new applications, as for their oxygen and nitrogen analogues.

Ketenes can react in several ways with organometaUic compounds and complexes. They can add as ligands to coordinated metals forming stable ketene, ketenyl, and ketenyfldene complexes. Ketenes can be inserted into metal—hydride, metal—alkyl, metal—OR, and metal—NR2 bonds, react with metal—oxide complexes, and with coordinated Hgands. This chemistry has been reviewed (9,51). 

The coordination chemistry of NO is often compared to that of CO but, whereas carbonyls are frequently prepared by reactions involving CO at high pressures and temperatures, this route is less viable for nitrosyls because of the thermodynamic instability of NO and its propensity to disproportionate or decompose under such conditions (p. 446). Nitrosyl complexes can sometimes be made by transformations involving pre-existing NO complexes, e.g. by ligand replacement, oxidative addition, reductive elimination or condensation reactions (reductive, thermal or photolytic). Typical examples are ... 

The coordination chemistry of SO2 has been extensively studied during the past two decades and at least 9 different bonding modes have been established.These are illustrated schematically in Fig. 15.26 and typical examples are given in Table 15.17.1 It is clear that nearly all the transition-metal complexes involve the metals in oxidation state zero or -bl. Moreover, SO2 in the pyramidal >7 -dusters tends to be reversibly bound (being eliminated when... 

Because of the technical importance of solvent extraction, ion-exchange and precipitation processes for the actinides, a major part of their coordination chemistry has been concerned with aqueous solutions, particularly that involving uranium. It is, however, evident that the actinides as a whole have a much stronger tendency to form complexes than the lanthanides and, as a result of the wider range of available oxidation states, their coordination chemistry is more varied. 

The diazaphosphane or aminoiminophosphane ligands with a NPN framework are another subclass of cyclophosphazenes. These compounds with both phosphorus in oxidation state (111) [104-110] and (V) [111-112] have been employed in the synthesis of four membered heterocycles and coordination chemistry with group 13 derivatives. Several complexes of trivalent phosphorus derivatives with both aluminum halide and alkyls are known as illustrated for 48 in Scheme 21 [113-119]. The structure determination of 48 confirms the formation of a four membered metallacycle [116, 117],... 

Imines, either acyclic or macrocyclic but invariably multidentate, have a rich coordination chemistry that has been investigated at length. The 7r-accepting ability of imine donors results in the stabilization of lower oxidation states relative to their saturated amine analogs, and there exist many air-stable divalent imine complexes of Co, in contrast to amine relatives. The hexa-methyl-diene (52) has been the most intensively studied ligand of this class, particularly when complexed with Co. In addition, Co complexes of the dimethyl (53),295,296 tetramethyl (54),297 pentamethyl (55)298 and octamethyl (56)299 macrocyclic dienes are also known. In the presence of... 

Although oxime complexes of Co share many of the physical properties of their imine relatives, the presense of an ionizable OH group attached to the coordinated N=C group leads to these ligands binding in their anionic forms. For this reason, the trivalent oxidation state is preferred in the Co coordination chemistry of oximes. 

The coordination chemistry of iridium has continued to flourish since 1985/86. All common donor atoms can be found bound to at least one oxidation state of iridium. The most common oxidation states exhibited by iridium complexes are I and III, although examples of all oxidation states from —I to VI have been synthesized and characterized. Low-oxidation-state iridium species usually contain CO ligands or P donor atoms, whereas high-oxidation-number-containing coordination compounds are predominantly hexahalide ones. 

The coordination chemistry of tertiary phosphine-functionalized calix[4]arenes have been described.279 Treatment of a bis(diphenylphosphino) or bis(dimethylphosphino) derivative of calix[4]arene with [PtCl2(COD)] leads to the formation of the corresponding dichloroplatinum(II) complex. The related diplatinum(II) species has also been reported with the tetrafunctionalized calix[4]arene.280 The mononuclear derivative is susceptible to oligomerization if the two free phosphine ligands are not oxidized or complexed to another metal center such as gold(I).279 The platinum(II) coordination chemistry of a mono-281 and diphosphite282 derived calix[ ]arene (n = 4 and 6, respectively) has also been described. 

Copper(II) complexes with phenoxo ligands have attracted great interest, in order to develop basic coordination chemistry for their possible use as models for tyrosinase activity (dimeric complexes) and fungal enzyme galactose oxidase (GO) (monomeric complexes). The latter enzyme catalyzes the two-electron oxidation of primary alcohols with dioxygen to yield aldehyde and... 

This volume presents a survey of significant developments in the chemistry of Groups 7 and 8 of the transition metals since the publication of Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry (CCC) in 1987. The material for each element is organized by oxidation state of the metal and also by the nature of the ligands involved, with additional sections covering special features of the coordination chemistry and applications of the complexes.
