Isomers of Terpyridine as Ligands in Coordination Polymers and Networks Containing Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II).

ABSTRACT: The use of divergent 4,2':6',4″- and 3,2':6',3″-terpyridine ligands as linkers and/or nodes in extended coordination assemblies has gained in popularity over the last decade. However, there is also a range of coordination polymers which feature 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine metal-binding domains. Of the remaining 45 isomers of terpyridine, few have been utilized in extended coordination arrays. Here, we provide an overview of coordination polymers and networks containing isomers of terpyridine and either zinc(II) and cadmium(II). Although the motivation for investigations of many of these systems is their luminescent behavior, we have chosen to focus mainly on structural details, and we assess to what extent assemblies are reproducible. We also consider cases where there is structural evidence for competitive product formation. A point that emerges is the lack of systematic investigations.

Project description:The coordination chemistry of 2-pyridyl ketoximes continues to attract the interest of many inorganic chemistry groups around the world for a variety of reasons. Cadmium(II) complexes of such ligands have provided models of solvent extraction of this toxic metal ion from aqueous environments using 2-pyridyl ketoxime extractants. Di-2-pyridyl ketone oxime (dpkoxH) is a unique member of this family of ligands because its substituent on the oxime carbon bears another potential donor site, i.e., a second 2-pyridyl group. The goal of this study was to investigate the reactions of cadmium(II) halides and dpkoxH in order to assess the structural role (if any) of the halogeno ligand and compare the products with their zinc(II) analogs. The synthetic studies provided access to complexes {[CdCl2(dpkoxH)∙2H2O]}n (1∙2H2O), {[CdBr2(dpkoxH)]}n (2) and {[CdI2(dpkoxH)]}n (3) in 50-60% yields. The structures of the complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The compounds consist of structurally similar 1D zigzag chains, but only 2 and 3 are strictly isomorphous. Neighboring CdII atoms are alternately doubly bridged by halogeno and dpkoxH ligands, the latter adopting the η1:η1:η1:μ (or 2.0111 using Harris notation) coordination mode. A terminal halogeno group completes distorted octahedral coordination at each metal ion, and the coordination sphere of the CdII atoms is {CdII(η1 - X)(μ - X)2(Npyridyl)2(Noxime)} (X = Cl, Br, I). The trans-donor-atom pairs in 1∙2H2O are Clterminal/Noxime and two Clbridging/Npyridyl; on the contrary, these donor-atom pairs are Xterminal/Npyridyl, Xbridging/Noxime, and Xbridging/Npyridyl (X = Br, I). There are intrachain H-bonding interactions in the structures. The packing of the chains in 1∙2H2O is achieved via π-π stacking interactions, while the 3D architecture of the isomorphous 2 and 3 is built via C-H∙∙∙Cg (Cg is the centroid of one pyridyl ring) and π-π overlaps. The molecular structures of 1∙2H2O and 2 are different compared with their [ZnX2(dpkoxH)] (X = Cl, Br) analogs. The polymeric compounds were characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopies in the solid state, and the data were interpreted in terms of the known molecular structures. The solid-state structures of the complexes are not retained in DMSO, as proven via NMR (1H, 13C, and 113Cd NMR) spectroscopy and molar conductivity data. The complexes completely release the coordinated dpkoxH molecule, and the dominant species in solution seem to be [Cd(DMSO)6]2+ in the case of the chloro and bromo complexes and [CdI2(DMSO)4].
