Schiff bases tridentate

Jacobsen et al. took an important step towards the development of a more general catalytic enantioselective cycloaddition reaction of carbonyl compounds by introducing chiral tridentate Schiff base chromium(III) complexes 15 (Scheme 4.15)... 

The major developments of catalytic enantioselective cycloaddition reactions of carbonyl compounds with conjugated dienes have been presented. A variety of chiral catalysts is available for the different types of carbonyl compound. For unactivated aldehydes chiral catalysts such as BINOL-aluminum(III), BINOL-tita-nium(IV), acyloxylborane(III), and tridentate Schiff base chromium(III) complexes can catalyze highly diastereo- and enantioselective cycloaddition reactions. The mechanism of these reactions can be a stepwise pathway via a Mukaiyama aldol intermediate or a concerted mechanism. For a-dicarbonyl compounds, which can coordinate to the chiral catalyst in a bidentate fashion, the chiral BOX-copper(II)... 

In 1996, Cavell described the synthesis of neutral P(VI) compound 37 containing a divalent tridentate diphenol imine ligand and three chlorine atoms by the reaction of a bis silylated Schiff base with PCI5 to give 37 after elimination of two equivalents of Me3SiCl (Scheme 7) [51]. 

In contrast with the Schiff base salen, salicylaldehyde oxime (79) (salox) complexes of Co have received comparatively little attention, but a series of bis-bidentate divalent complexes of the form iraiis-Co(sa 1 ox)2( D M SO)2 have been reported.343 The heterocyclic bidentate oxime violurate (lH,3H-pyrimidine-2,4,5,6-tetrone 5-oximate, Hvi) (80) and its /V-methyl (mvi) and /V,/V -dimethyl (dmvi) derivatives form high-spin divalent [Co(vi)]+ and Co(vi)2 complexes, whereas [Co(vi)3] is low spin.344 The mixed-ligand Co(dmvi)2(phen) complex is also low spin. The crystal structure of m-Co(pxo)2Br2 (pxo = 2-acetylpyridine-l-oxide oxime) is isostructural with the Ni11 relative.345 The dichloro complex also adopts a cis configuration. The tridentate dioximes 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol dioxime and 2,6-diacetyl-4-methylphenol dioxime (Hdampo) form binuclear complexes of the type (81a) and (81b) respectively.346 Cobalt oxide nanoparticles were prepared by... 

L = tridentate Schiff base from pyridine-2-aldehyde and N,N,2,2-tetramethylpropane-l,3-diamine. 

Pyridine derivatives with additional donor functions and sterically demanding substituents have been used with the intention of producing complexes of Cd (and of other metals) with low coordination number one of these ligands is the tridentate, planar-bonding 2,6-bis[(2,6-dimethyl-phenylimino)methyl] pyridine (pydim a Schiff base derived from 2,6-pyridine dialdehyde), which with Cd(BF4)2 and thiocyanate gives a dinuclear complex [(pydim)Cd(/x-NCS-S,N)]2(BF4)2 with N-dominated coordination sphere.191 As centrosymmetric Plijc, Z= 2), the complex has an antiparallel /x-1,3 NCS double bridge with Cd—N and Cd—S bonds (224.6 pm and 255.5 pm, respectively) the Cd—N(py) bond is clearly shorter than the Cd—N(imino) bonds (225.6 pm and 245.0 pm,... 

Jacobsen and co-workers14 have shown that a tridentate Schiff base chromium complex 13 catalyzed an asymmetric carbonyl-ene reaction between a variety of aryl aldehydes (14, Equation (8)) and 2-methoxy propene 15 or 2-trimethylsiloxypropene. The highest yields were afforded when the aryl ring was substituted with an electron-withdrawing group however, the substituent did not seem to affect the enantioselectivity. 

As for the V-Schiff-base monomer in alcohol solutions, two diastereomers exist due to two possible directions of the V=0 to the face of the tridentate ligands. The energy difference between the two diastereomers was calculated to be less than Ikjmol , indicating that the diastereomers coexist in similar concentrations in solutions. However, a chiral V center was created by supporting the V monomers on Si02. 

The electrochemistry of Tc complexes containing either two variously substituted bidentate 8-ox type ligands [TcOCl(Lb)2], one 8-ox ligand, and one bidentate Schiff-base ligand [TcOCl(Lb)(La)], or one 8-ox ligand and one tridentate dianionic Schiff-base ligand such as... 

A class of ligands which is very flexible in terms of its denticity, donor atom geometry, and steric demands are Schiff bases derived from salicyladehyde or related carbonyl compounds carrying additional hydroxo groups. The use of bi- and tridentate ligands of this type allows the synthesis of mixed-chelate complexes with a number of O N, N N or N S bidentate ligands. The products are of considerable interest for nuclear medical applications as well as for homo-...
