thermodynamic/kinetic control in the isomerization of the [[tBuNP(mu-NtBu)]2]2- ion.

The unique structure of [(tBuN)(2)PK]( infinity ) (2) (containing [(tBuN)(2)P](-) monoanions) is in stark contrast to the previously reported Li(+) analogue [[[tBuNP(mu-NtBu)](2)](2)]Li(4) (1) (containing the dimeric [[tBuNP(mu-NtBu)](2)](2-) ion). DFT and (31)P NMR spectroscopic studies reveal that the formation of the monoanion arrangements are most thermodyamically favored for Li, Na, and K, 1 being the product of kinetic control and 2 being the product of thermodynamic control.

Structural motifs in secondary ammonium halides: ring-stacking and ring-laddering in the organic solid state.

The ring-stacking and ring-laddering concepts of structural inorganic chemistry may be applied to rationalize motifs observed for secondary ammonium halides R(2)NH(2)X (X = Cl, Br) in the organic solid state. General examination of the directional preferences of N(+)...X(-) contacts in 166 crystal structures confirms that the shortest contacts (3.0-3.2 and 3.2-3.4 A, X = Cl, Br) are N(+)-H...X(-) hydrogen bonds lying approximately along the directions of the N(+)-H bond vectors. The next shortest N(+)...X(-) contacts display two preferred directions of approach: i) contacts in the distance range 3.2-3.5 (X = Cl) and 3.2-3.9 A (X = Br) lie close to the H-N(+)-H plane, along the direction of the bisector of the H-N(+)-H angle; ii) contacts in the distance range 4.0-4.2 (X = Cl) and 4.0-4.4 A (X = Br) lie close to the H-N(+)-H plane, along the direction of an axis extending to the rear of one of the N(+)-H bonds. Both directions of approach lead frequently to association of R(2)NH(2) (+)X(-) ion pairs into laddered motifs. Stacking association is also observed, giving rise in one case to discrete cubanes and in several other cases to extended stacked-cube arrangements. In each case, the distribution of N(+)...X(-) contacts reflects a balance between the directional properties of the N(+)-H...X(-) hydrogen bonds and (primarily steric) interactions between the R groups of the organic moieties. The ladder and stack motifs of the organic ammonium halides are in many cases directly comparable to those in alkali metal amides, [R(2)NM](n), and information derived from the extensive organic sample provides insight into the motifs adopted by the inorganic complexes.

Selection and amplification of mixed-metal porphyrin cages from dynamic combinatorial libraries.

Mixed metallo-porphyrin cages were selected and amplified from dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs) by using appropriate templates. The cages are composed of two bisphosphine substituted zinc(II) porphyrins as ligand donors and two rhodium(III) or ruthenium(II) porphyrins as ligand acceptors, and are connected through metal-phosphorus coordination. Ru and Rh porphyrins that display a large structural diversity were employed. The templating was achieved by using 4,4'-bpy, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridine and benzo[lmn]-3,8-phenanthroline, and acts through zinc-nitrogen coordination. The absolute amount of amplification from the DCLs is strongly dependent on the combination of the Ru/Rh porphyrin and the template; cages with sterically demanding porphyrins can only form with smaller templates. In the case of tert-butyl-substituted TPP (TPP=tetraphenylporphyrin), cages are not formed at all. The formation of the cages is usually complete within 24 h at an ambient temperature; in the case of the cage containing Rh(III)OEP (OEP=octaethylporphyrin) and bpy, the pseudo-first-order rate constant of cage formation was determined to be 2.1+/-0.1x10(-4) s(-1) (CDCl(3), 25 degrees C). Alternatively, heating the mixtures to 65 degrees C and cooling to room temperature yields the cages within minutes. The (1)H NMR chemical shifts of several characteristic protons show large differences upon changing the identity of the Ru/Rh porphyrin and the central metal; this is most likely to arise from variations in the geometry of the cages. The X-ray crystal structure of a cage, which contains Rh(III)OEP as a porphyrin acceptor and bpy as template, demonstrates that the cages can adopt severely distorted conformations to accommodate the relatively short templates. An extension to mixed DCLs showed that only limited selectivity is displayed by the various templates. Formation of mixed cages that contain two different rhodium porphyrins prevents effective selection, although the kinetic lability of the systems allows for some amplification. This lability, however, also prevents isolation of the individual cages. Removal of the template leads to re-equilibration, thus the templates act as scaffolds to keep the structures intact.

Construction of multiporphyrin arrays using ruthenium and rhodium coordination to phosphines.

The synthesis of linear multiporphyrin arrays with mono- and bisphosphine-substituted porphyrins as ligand donors and ruthenium(II) or rhodium(III) porphyrins as ligand acceptors is described. With appropriate amounts of the building blocks mixed, linear dimeric and trimeric arrays have been synthesized and analyzed by (1)H NMR and (31)P NMR spectroscopy. The Ru/Rh acceptor porphyrins can be located either at the periphery or in the center of the array. Likewise, the monophosphine porphyrins can be positioned at the periphery, thus allowing a high degree of freedom in the overall composition of the arrays. This way, both donor and acceptor porphyrins can act as chain extenders or terminators. One of the trimeric complexes with two nickel and one ruthenium porphyrin has also been analyzed by X-ray crystallography. Attempts have also been made to synthesize higher order arrays by mixing appropriate amounts of the porphyrins; however, from the NMR data it cannot be concluded if monodisperse five, seven, or nine porphyrin arrays are present or if the solutions are composed of a statistical mixture of smaller and larger arrays.

Complexation of diphenyl(phenylacetenyl)phosphine to rhodium(III) tetraphenyl porphyrins: synthesis and structural, spectroscopic, and thermodynamic studies.

The coordination of diphenyl(phenylacetenyl)phosphine (DPAP, 1) to (X)Rh(III)TPP (X = I (2) or Me (3); TPP = tetraphenyl porphyrin) was studied in solution and in the solid state. The iodide is readily displaced by the phosphine, leading to the bis-phosphine complex [(DPAP)(2)Rh(TPP)](I) (4). The methylide on rhodium in 3 is not displaced, leading selectively to the mono-phosphine complex (DPAP)(Me)Rh(TPP) (5). The first and second association constants, as determined by isothermal titration calorimetry and UV-vis titrations, are in the range 10(4)-10(7) M(-1) (in CH(2)Cl(2)). Using LDI-TOF mass spectrometry, the mono-phosphine complexes can be detected but not the bis-phosphine complexes. The electronic spectrum of 4 is similar to those previously reported with other tertiary phosphine ligands, whereas (DPAP)(I)Rh(TPP) (6) displays a low energy B-band absorption and a high energy Q-band absorption. In contrast to earlier reports, displacement of the methylide on rhodium in 5 could not be observed at any concentration, and the electronic spectra of 4 and 5 are almost identical. Isothermal titration calorimetry experiments showed that all binding events are exothermic, and all are enthalpy driven. The largest values of DeltaG degrees are found for 6. The thermodynamic and UV-vis data reveal that the methylide and the phosphine ligand have an almost identical electronic trans-influence on the sixth ligand.

A novel one-dimensional coordination polymer with Cd2+ and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid.

catena-Poly[[[bis[diaqua(4,4'-bipyridine)cadmium(II)]-bis[mu-(N"-carboxymethyldiethylenetriamine-N,N,N',N"-tetraacetato)cadmium(II)]]-mu-4,4'-bipyridine] tetradecahydrate], [Cd(4)(C(14)H(19)N(3)O(10))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(3)(H(2)O)(4)].14H(2)O or [Cd(4)(HDTPA)(2)(BPY)(3)(H(2)O)(4)].14H(2)O, where BPY is 4,4'-bipyridine and HDTPA(4-) is N"-carboxymethyldiethylenetriamine-N,N,N',N"-tetraacetate, consists of a one-dimensional coordination polymer formed from a secondary building unit which comprises four Cd centres. The chain structure of the title compound was obtained by the use of a multidentate organic ligand, N,N,N',N",N"-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (H(5)DTPA), which forms multiple chelate rings with the Cd metal centres. An extended network is formed via hydrogen bonds.

Phosphine and phosphonite complexes of a ruthenium(II) porphyrin. 1. Synthesis, structure, and solution state studies.

We have investigated the effect of complexation of different phosphorus ligands on the stability, solid state structure, and spectroscopic properties (NMR, IR, UV-vis) of a 5,15-diphenyl-substituted ruthenium porphyrin, (MeOH)Ru(II)(CO)(DPP) 2 [DPP = 5,15-bis(3',5'-di-tert-butyl)phenyl-2,8,12,18-tetraethyl-3,7,13,17-tetramethylporphyrin]. The ligands used are PPh(3), diphenyl(phenylacetenyl)phosphine (DPAP), bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene (DPPA), tris(phenylacetenyl)phosphine [(PA)(3)P], and diethyl (phenylacetenyl)phosphonite [PAP(OEt)(2)]. The mono-phosphine complexes (PR(3))Ru(II)(CO)(DPP) are readily formed in solution in quantitative yields. The complexes display association constants ranging from 1.2 x 10(4) M(-1) for PPh(3) to 4.8 x 10(6) M(-1) for PAP(OEt)(2). The weak association of PPh(3) does not correlate with its pK(a), delta((31)P), or cone angle value and is attributed to steric effects. Due to their kinetic lability, which is shown by 2D NMR spectroscopy, and the weakening of the carbonyl ligand via a trans effect, the mono-phosphine complexes could not be isolated. IR spectroscopy gives the relative order of pi-acceptor strength as PPh(3) < DPAP, DPPA < (PA)(3)P < PAP(OEt)(2), whereas the relative order of the sigma-donor strength is PPh(3) < (PA)(3)P < DPAP, DPPA < PAP(OEt)(2), based on the calculated pK(a) values and on the (31)P((1)H) NMR chemical shifts of the ligands. The chemical shift differences in the (31)P9(1)H)) NMR spectra upon ligand binding display a linear correlation with the calculated pK(a) values of the protonated ligands HPR(3)(+); we propose that the pK(a), and probably other electronic properties, of a specific phosphorus ligand can be estimated on the basis of the chemical shift difference Deltadelta((31)P) upon complexation to a metalloporphyrin. The bis-phosphine complexes can be isolated in pure form by crystallization from CHCl(3)-MeOH solutions using excess ligand. Association of the second ligand is in the same order of magnitude as the first binding for the phosphines, but the second phosphonite binding is decreased by a factor of about 100. The solid state structures show only marginal differences in the geometrical parameters. The calculated and the crystallographic cone angles of the ligands generally do not match, apart from the values obtained for PAP(OEt)(2).
