Pyridine-carboxylate ligands

Shul pin and coworkers described the application of a di- and a tetranudear iron complex with triazacyclononane acetate ligands in the oxidation of alkanes and alcohols with H202 [47]. A highly complex tetranudear iron complex with octadentate pyridine carboxylate ligands was described by Gutkina et al. [48]. However, the TONs for cyclohexane oxidation did not exceed 5.0 in the latter case. 

Neutral nickel(II) complexes with a chelating pyridine-carboxylate ligand were shown to be active in both, the oligomerization of ethene and the copolymeriza-... 

With N,0 mixed donor ligands several complexes have been reported with ligands such as 4,5-dichloro-2-cyano-3,6-dione-l,4-cyclohexen-l-ol,1445 isonicotinic acid,1446 p-aminobenzoic acid,1447 alanine, histidine or histamine derivatives,1448-1450 [N(0)C(CN)2]-,1451 pyridine-carboxylate derivatives, 1452 1454 [N(pph20)2] (263),1455 bis(sulfonyl)amide derivatives,1456,1457 tris(pyridyl)-... 

The observed hyperbolic dependences suggest a mechanism that involves a pre-equilibrium binding of two pyridine carboxylates to the Fem of lm, followed by the intramolecular proton transfer from the coordinated acid (Scheme 3). This option has been supported by measurements of the binding constants for py and related ligands. The data in Fig. 8 agree with the mechanism in Scheme 3. The reactive intermediate for robust lm is the diaxially coordinated species, one of the two ligands being picolinic acid (L). 

Reactions of c -[Ru(bpy)2Cl2] with ligands (86) or (87) (X = CH2) in EtOH(aq) lead to [Ru(bpy)2(86)] + and [Ru(bpy)2(87, X = CH2)] respectively. When X = 0 in ligand (87), the product is the pyridine carboxylate complex [Ru(bpy)2(pyC02)], the structure of which is confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Complexes of the type [Ru(bpy)2L] " in which L represents a series of mono- and dihydrazones have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods (including variable temperature H NMR) and a structure determination for L = biacetyl di(phenylhydrazone). When L is 2-acetylpyridine hydrazone or 2-acetylpyridine phenylhydrazone, [Ru(bpy)2L] + shows an emission, but none is observed for the dihydrazone complexes. The pyrazoline complex [Ru(bpy)2L] (L = 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-l-phenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-2-pyrazoline) can be isolated in two diastereoisomeric forms. At 298 K, these exhibit similar MLCT absorptions, but at 77 K, their emission maxima and lifetimes are significantly different. ... 

Other reported chromium(III) complexes containing py and related ligands are listed in Table 58. Complexes of 2-pyridylmethylamine are dealt with in Section 35.4.2.3 and of pyridine carboxylic acids in Section 35.4.8. 

Planar M30 units occur in the basic carboxylates of such metals as iron, ruthenium, manganese, vanadium and chromium the chromium compound has been known since 1919. The metal atoms are also linked by pairs of carboxylate ligands (often acetates), and have terminal ligands (generally pyridine or water). Mixed metal units, e.g. Fe2CrO,124 and mixed oxidation states, e.g. Ci CifO,1 ... 

Picolinic acid (pyridine 2-carboxylic acid) is the prototype for this type of ligand. Pyridine itself does not react favorably with vanadate, nor do the 3 and 4 pyridine carboxylates. At first sight, one would expect that 2-hydroxypyridine would react favorably with vanadate, but this is not true. There are two likely explanations for this. First, the 2-hydroxypyridine exists predominantly as the keto tautomer, so the effective concentration of the hydroxylate is low. The keto form of the ligand can be expected to be much less reactive than the hydroxyl form. Second, the formation...
