Nickel complexes macrocycles

Light-driven (electron, cation) symport occurs when combining this system with the (nickel complex, macrocycle) process described above [6.62]. Photocontrol of ion extraction and transport has been realized with macrocyclic or acyclic ligands (containing, for instance, azo or spirobenzopyran groups) that undergo a reversible...

Macrocycles may also promote the formation of less common coordination geometries for particular metal ions because of increased macrocyclic ring strain on coordination. Such an effect is illustrated by the variation in the structures of the nickel complexes of the 14-, 16-, 18-, and 20-mem-bered tropocoronand macrocycles of type (14) (Imajo, Nakanishi,... 

A cyclization reaction involving a half-formed bridge in which alkyl halide functions interact with (initially) coordinated oxygen atoms is illustrated by [2.9] (Kluiber Sasso, 1970). The X-ray structure of the red paramagnetic nickel complex (65) indicates that the macrocycle coordi-... 

Other template cyclizations. In another Schiff-base template reaction, 1,3-diaminopropane monohydrochloride was reacted with biacetyl in methanol in the presence of Ni(n) to yield the nickel complex of the corresponding cyclic tetraimine - see [2.16] (Jackels et al., 1972). The success of the procedure illustrated is quite dependent on the reaction conditions employed. Attempts to isolate the metal-free macrocycle were unsuccessful - this once again emphasizes the stabilizing role of the metal... 

Ligand (119) yields nickel complexes of type [Ni2L](BF4)4 (low spin) and [Ni2L(NCS)4].2H20 (high spin). For each of these complexes, physical studies indicate that the macrocycle circumscribes the two nickel ions such that each ion is surrounded by four sulfur donors in a planar array. 

Table 6.1 summarizes the thermodynamic parameters relating to the macrocyclic effect for the high-spin Ni(n) complexes of four tetraaza-macrocyclic ligands and their open-chain analogues (the open-chain derivative which yields the most stable nickel complex was used in each case) (Micheloni, Paoletti Sabatini, 1983). Clearly, the enthalpy and entropy terms make substantially different contributions to complex stability along the series. Thus, the small macrocyclic effect which occurs for the first complex results from a favourable entropy term which overrides an unfavourable enthalpy term. Similar trends are apparent for the next two systems but, for these, entropy terms are larger and a more pronounced macrocyclic effect is evident. For the fourth (cyclam) system, the considerable macrocyclic effect is a reflection of both a favourable entropy term and a favourable enthalpy term.

The S-oxygenation of the hexaamine-dithiophenolate macrocycles should provide a potential entry into the novel class of binucleating polyamine-disulfonate and -disulfinate macrocycles. Indeed, such ligands can be prepared by the oxidation of dinuclear nickel complexes of the parent hexaaza-dithiopheno-late macrocycles followed by the decomposition of the oxidation products in acidic solution. The dinuclear nickel complexes [Nin2(L36)(L )]+ (L = Cr (70) and OAc (71)) of the hexaaza-diphenylsulfonate ligand (L36)2- (Fig. 38) are obtained by... 

Analogously, complex 218 was prepared by mixed macrocyclization of 2,5-diiminopyrrolidine (213) with ferf-butylphenylpyrroline (68) in 19% yield. The free base (219) (95%) was obtained by demetalation of magnesium complex 218 with trifluoroacetic acid and subsequent remetalation of 219 with Ni(OAc)2 gave the corresponding nickel complex 220 in 98% yield. 

The reaction of planar Ni ([14]aneN4) + represented as shown in (2.10) with a number of bidentate ligands (XY) to produce c -octahedral Ni ([14]aneN4) XY + is first-order in nickel complex and [OH ] and independent of the concentration of XY.In the preferred mechanism, the folding of the macrocycle (base-catalyzed tmns — cis isomerization) is rate determining, and this is followed by rapid coordination of XY ... 

This oxidation state which resembles Cu(II) may be prepared by electrochemical, photochemicalor pulse radiolytic reduction of nickel(II). Nickel(I) macrocycles are powerful reductants and their spectra and redox potentials have been measured. The reactions of the Ni(I) complexes Ni(tmc) 10 and 11 with RX are similar. 

Macrocyclic Fi-donor ligands and vitamin Bj, analogues. The free amine [(97) tet] can be prepared from the previously reported nickel complex. Cobalt-fin) complexes have been prepared with both planar (bcde octahedral) and folded (abed octahedral) co-ordination. Derivatives of the three ligand configurations arising from restricted inversion at the four chiral co-ordinated secondary amino-groups have been prepared (see Scheme 2) and their stabilities and configurations discussed. ... 

Macrocyclic N-donor ligands. Nickel complexes of macrocyclic ligands have been studied by cyclic voltammetry, and the irreversible or quasi-reversible couples Ni" L Ni L Ni L have been established. The structure of (124) has been reported and the co-ordination is essentially square-planar with a slight tetrahedral distortion. The reaction of [Ni(pn)3] with... 

Steric constraints dictate that reactions of organohalides catalysed by square planar nickel complexes cannot involve a cw-dialkyl or diaryl Ni(iii) intermediate. The mechanistic aspects of these reactions have been studied using a macrocyclic tetraaza-ligand [209] while quantitative studies on primary alkyl halides used Ni(n)(salen) as catalyst source [210]. One-electron reduction affords Ni(l)(salen) which is involved in the catalytic cycle. Nickel(l) interacts with alkyl halides by an outer sphere single electron transfer process to give alkyl radicals and Ni(ii). The radicals take part in bimolecular reactions of dimerization and disproportionation, react with added species or react with Ni(t) to form the alkylnickel(n)(salen). Alkanes are also fonned by protolysis of the alkylNi(ii).
