Of coordinated nitrogen

Deprotonated) dipyridylamine has been the fruitful progenitor of a series of ligands, Scheme 1, which, by increasing the number of coordinating nitrogen atoms, are able to afford (at the moment) from trinuclear to nonanuclear linear metal complexes. 

Alkylation of coordinated nitrogen atoms has also given rise to new chelate rings and coincidentally to macrocyclic structures (equations 43 and 44).167,16S More recently, the alkylation technique has been extended to phosphorus (equation 45).169 A more recent novel free radical cyclization... 

The interconversion between Co(TPyMA)OH2 and Co(TPyMA)OH+ was studied by electronic spectroscopy (Figure 2.24). Despite the difference in the number of coordinated nitrogens, the difference between the high- and low-pH forms resembles that of the cobalt enzyme (cf. Figure 2.7). ...

The complex forms as an orange-brown powder that decomposes slowly in air. A sharp intense band in the IR spectrum at 2040 cm (KBr and Nujol) is assigned to of coordinated nitrogen. The stretching vibrations for carbox-ylate groups appear at 1600 (asym) and 1380 (sym) cm. The ESR spectrum indicates diamagnetic character. The UV/vis spectrum in aqueous solution has maxima at 51,000,40,000, and 21,275 cm In a static air or argon atmosphere. 

The chelate ring closure described in equation (42) 66 would be represented by a more concerted version of the general type shown by equation (35). The final product (63) has also been treated with a,a -dibromo-o-xylene to produce the related macrocycle, via its complex. Alkylation of coordinated nitrogen atoms has also given rise to new chelate rings and coincidentally to macrocyclic structures (equations 43 and 44). " More recently, the alkylation technique has been extended to phosphorus (equation 45). A more recent novel free radical cyclization... 

All yS s were measured in 1 M KCl at 30°C. y s for complexes contaming the same amount of coordinated nitrogen are in the same column. To see the effect of chelation the P s in the same column should be compared. 

The reactivity of coordinated dinitrogen in mononuclear complexes is still not yet fully understood. The reactive complexes are those at the left-hand end (Groups 4, 5, and 6) of the transition series and the reactions are best developed in the case of complexes of molybdenum and tungsten. The first reaction discovered was an acylation of coordinated nitrogen, but it was quickly recognized that protonation is equally, if not more, facile. " ... 

Correlation charts can be developed for particular types of coordination. Nitrogen Is electrons from nitrates, nitrites, and azides are readily identified in this way since the chemical shifts differ by several electron-volts. Electron spectroscopy is also useful in determining ionization potentials and in surface chemistry. The average penetration of a photoelectron is in the range 20-50 A.
