Neutral and Anionic Complexes

A complete resolution of c-tris(P-alaninato)cobalt(III), fac- Co a ) ], was achieved by Yoneda and Yoshizawa from a column of CM Sephadex C-25 in Na form (3 x 113 cm) with a 0.1 mol/dm sodium (+)-tartrate in 30% aqueous ethanol solution. The isomer exhibiting a (—)-signed dominant CD peak in the first absorption bind region was faster eluted. c[Co(P-ala) (a-am)3 J has been studied by Yoneda and his co-workers

Pu(IV) forms polyatomic complexes with inorganic and organic ligands. As the number of anionic ligands increases, cationic, neutral, and anionic complexes form and the sequential stabiUty constants, typically decrease. For the following reaction, where M is Pu + and L is a ligand,... 

Recent mechanistic studies using HP infrared equipment, as well as HP-NMR measurements involving the use of CO and CH3I, have allowed the iridium intermediates which are present in solution as methyl acetate and water, and are consumed to produce acetic acid [.12, 34, 41-43], to be followed. All of these observations can be rationalized by a single catalytic cycle (see Figure 8.5), in which equilibria exist between the neutral and anionic complexes for all species. The main species involved in the carbonylation, which are detected in batch mode under carbonylation conditions [34], and correspond to the slower steps of catalysis, are the methyl—iridium and acetyl-iridium complexes [Ir(CH3)l3(CO)2] and [Ir(COCH3)l3(CO)2] respectively. 

These are the most extensively studied class of poly(pyrazolyl)borate compounds for platinum and palladium, and rank among the most numerous and varied. The literature includes examples of M(II) and M(IV) centers in cationic, neutral, and anionic complexes, with all possible coordination numbers four to six represented moreover, many of these complexes are readily interconverted. This section will therefore be organized according to oxidation state, as the most logical approach. 

In all cases, the neutral compounds are considerably more soluble in coordinating solvents than in noncoordinating solvents in agreement with the available solid-state structures, which reveal the polymeric nature of these compounds. Interestingly, solution 119Sn NMR data suggest that both neutral and anionic complexes (E = 0) are pentacoordinated, indicating that the possible intermolecular interactions are still appreciable in solution. 

The phenomenal growth in the chemistry of metal carbonyl compounds has been heavily concentrated upon the neutral and anionic complexes. Only very recently have the occurrence and usefulness of the cationic metal carbonyls come into real prominence. 

Addition of protons often occurs readily to a variety of neutral and anionic complexes and is a rich source of hydrides (equation 12). Protonation can also take place on a ligand in certain cases. Protonation of metal hydrides is a common source of H2 complexes (equation 13). 

There are many examples of borohydride compounds of these metals, e.g., Cu, Ag, Zn and Cd-BH as neutral and anionic complexes in which the mode of bonding of BH is dependent on the coordination number of the metaP. Higher borane anions also combine with Cu and Ag, yielding both neutral and anionic complexes. Although no borohydrides of Au are isolated, treatment of Au-halide complexes with, e.g., NaBH, is a standard method for the preparation of Au-cluster compounds Copper(I) hydride, first reported in 1844, has the ZnS structure [d(Cn-H) = 0.173 nm (1.73 A) d(Cu-Cu) = 0.289 nm (2.89 A)] and decomposes to the elements when heated. At >100°C the decomposition is explosive. 

Zirconium solutions with sulfate as anion show considerable difference from Cl-, N03 or C104 solutions. Even at low acidities, strong neutral and anionic complexes, some of which may be polymeric, are formed. Crystalline materials with compositions Zr(S04)2-nH2O where n = 4, 5 or 7 have been structurally characterized. The first has infinite sulfato-bridged sheets with each Zr square antiprismatically coordinated by four H20... 

A number of neutral and anionic complexes containing oxalato ligands have been prepared, for example, Ti2(ox)3-10H2O, Cs[Ti(ox)2(H20)3]-2H20, and... 

Dioximato-complexes. Studies of dioximato-complexes continue to be extensive probably because of their close similarity to the cobalamins and vitamin B12. Dissociative (often Z>) mechanisms are most commonly observed for the aquation reactions as well as for formations and for ligand exchange. Since these reactions are so similar most of the results will be collected together in this section. References to kinetic studies of aquation,ligand-exchange, and anation reactionsof neutral and anionic complexes of the type /ra 5-[Co(dioxime)2AX] dioxime = [HON=C(R )C(R )=NO] where R and R are alkyl groups are collected in Table 7. 

The recommended daily dietary doses of copper are 0.4-0.7 mg for children under 1 year, 0.7-2.0 mg for children aged 1 to 10 years, 1.5-2.5 mg for adolescents and 1.5-3.0 mg for adults. Resorption of copper and its retention in the body depend on the chemical form in which this element is present in the diet. Experiments on laboratory animals have shown a higher utilisation of copper in the form of neutral and anionic complexes contained in plant material than in the form of copper sulfate. Availability of copper increases the presence of proteins and amino acids in the diet. Also, carboxylic and hydroxycarboxylic acids stimulate resorption of copper. In contrast, higher doses of ascorbic acid, fructose, molybdenum, sulfur compounds and zinc significantly reduce the resorption of copper. Ascorbic acid reduces cupric compounds to slightly soluble cuprous compounds. The effect of phytic acid and dietary fibre on copper resorption is, in comparison with the effect of these components in zinc, less pronounced.
