Linkage isomerization complexes

Linkage Isomerization. Complexes of cis-Pt(II) and enPt(Il) containing a single uracil (32) or thymine (31) ligand and an aquo ligand, show a remarkable tendency to undergo con-... 

Spectroscopy at variable temperatures enables us to reveal linkage isomerism of adsorption, when certain molecule fonu with the same site two or more complexes with different geometry and chemical properties. The most studied so far is the case of CO in zeolites, when besides the usual C-bonded complexes with the cations or OH-groups, energetically unfavorable O-bonded complexes ai e formed. 

The rhodium and iridium complexes of dibenzothiophene (L) reveal an interesting case of linkage isomerism (91IC5046). Thus, the ti S) coordinated species [MCp LCb] on thermolysis with silver tetrafluoroborate afford the Ti -coordinated dicationic species.

Linkage isomerism This is a special type of structural isomerism in which the differences arise from a particular ligand which may coordinate to a metal ion in more than one way. In Table 1-3 we indicated that a ligand such as thiocyanate could bond to a metal through either the nitrogen or the sulfur atom, and the complex ions [Co(NH3)5(ACS)]2+ and [Co(NH3)5(5CN)]2+ are related as linkage isomers.

Amides offer both O and N-donors for Co coordination. N-bound amides are accessible through hydrolysis of their corresponding coordinated nitrile or by linkage isomerization of the O-bound form. The preparation of an extensive series of pentaamminecobalt(III) complexes of (monoden-tate-coordinated) amides of the form RCONH2 (R = H, Me, CF3, CH2C1, CH2F, CH=CH2, Ph,... 

The ammonioacetonitrile complex (206) reacts with NH3 to produce the amidine-bonded aminoacetamidine (207) complex, whereas in aqueous base it hydrolyzes to the amid o-A -bo ruled glycinamide complex (208).908 Acid-catalyzed linkage isomerization to first the O-bound form (209) precedes formation ultimately of the amino-bonded isomer (210) as the stable product upon deprotonation of the free amine above pH 6. 

The kinetics of the reaction is first order in both nitrile complex and azide.909 NaN3 reacts with [Co(tetren)(NCMe)]3+ at pH 5.7 to give the 5-methyltetrazolato complex [Co(tetren)(N4CMe)]2+. The reaction is biphasic, involving the initial rapid formation of the AM-bonded tetrazole followed by the slow linkage isomerization to the N2-bonded complex.907... 

Linkage isomerism has been discussed for 0,S and N,O ligands both at Ru(II) and at Ru(III), with particular mention of relevance to redox reactions of DMSO complexes (31). 

The most controversial issue is the number and exact stoichiometries of the iron(III)-sulfito complexes formed under different experimental conditions. Earlier, van Eldik and co-workers reported the formation of a series of [Fe(SO ) ]3-2" (n = to 3) complexes and the [Fe(S03)(0H)] complex (89,91,92). The stability constants of these species were determined by evaluating time resolved rapid-scan spectra obtained from the sub-second to several minutes time domain. The cis-trans isomerization of the complexes was also considered, under feasible circumstances. In contrast, Betterton interpreted his results assuming the formation and linkage isomerization of a single complex, [Fe(SC>3)]+ (93). In agreement with the latter results, Conklin and Hoffmann also found evidence only for the formation of a mono-complex (94). However, their results were criticized on the basis that the experiments were made in 1.0 M formic acid/formate buffer where iron(III) existed mainly as formato complex(es). Although these reactions could interfere with the formation of the sulfito complex, they were not considered in the evaluation of the results (95). Finally, van Eldik and co-workers re-examined the complex-formation reactions and presented additional data in support of...

An interesting study with BATO compounds concerns the linkage isomerization of coordinated [NCS] in [Tc(NCS)(cdoh)2(cdo)(BMe)] (440). Both a red, N-bond isothiocyanato complex [Tc(NCS)(cdoh)2(cdo)(BMe)] and the brown, S-bond thiocyanato complex [Tc(SCN)(dmg)3(BR)] (441) were isolated from the direct synthesis from [Tc04] . The N-bound (440) was found to be thermodynamically more stable than the S-bound isomer (441) and the conversion was monitored elegantly by spectroscopic methods. The X-ray crystal structure of (440) was determined. The NCS and SCN -substituted analogues exhibited r c N stretch at 2,114-2,124 cm and at 2,055-2,079 cm , respectively. " (Scheme 59).
