The long diphosphine 5,11-diphenylphosphanyl-25,26-dipropyloxy-27,28-bis(2-propenyloxy) calix[4]arene (cone) (5), in which the two phosphorus atoms are separated by a semi-rigid linking unit, was prepared in four steps starting from calix[4]arene. Reaction of 5 with AuCl(SEt(2)) or [RuCl(2)(p-cymene)](2) led to calixarenes bearing two metallated pendant arms, [5·(AuCl)(2)] and [5·{RuCl(2)(p-cymene)}(2)], respectively. In the presence of AgBF(4) or [Ni(C(5)H(5))(1,5-cyclooctadiene)]BF(4), diphosphine 5 displayed a marked tendency to form oligomeric material, but under high dilution conditions dimeric species were obtained selectively. The inability of 5 to form chelate complexes was further illustrated by its reaction with [PdCl(2)(1,5-cyclooctadiene)(2)], which led quantitatively to a rare complex in which a diphosphine spans across the dinuclear [PdCl(μ-Cl)(2)PdCl] unit.

Rectangular Holes in Porphyrin Isomers Act As Mono- and Binucleating Ligands: Stereochemistry of Mono- and Diboron Porphycenes and Their Protonation Behaviors.

The first boron complexes of porphycenes, structural isomers of porphyrin, are reported. They are synthesized in good yields by reacting the free-base porphycene ligands with BF·EtO through a microwave-assisted method. Depending on the substituent group of porphycenes, two different coordination structures, mono- and diboron porphycenes, are obtained simultaneously.

A dicopper complex featuring a symmetrically bridging nitrile ligand and supported by a binucleating naphthyridine-based ligand, [Cu( : -MeCN)DPFN](NTf), was treated with phosphaalkynes (RC[triple bond, length as m-dash]P, isoelectronic analogues of nitriles) to yield dicopper complexes that exhibit phosphaalkynes in rare : binding coordination modes. X-ray crystallography revealed that these unusual "tilted" structures exist in two isomeric forms (R "up" R "sideways"), depending on the steric profile of the phosphaalkyne's alkyl group (R = Me, Ad, or Bu). Only one isomer is observed in both solution and the solid state for R = Me (sideways) and Bu (up).

Two binucleating hezaaza macrocycles containing a pyridinol spacer have been prepared and characterised. Protonation studies indicate the deprotonation of the phenol group at relatively low pH values with the concomitant occurrence of a keto-enolic equilibrium. These ligands readily form binuclear Cu and Zn complexes as denoted by potentiometric and spectroscopic studies.

A [Ni(II)4] staircase complex was serendipitously prepared from the reaction of the binucleating Schiff base proligand 2,6-bis[[(3-hydroxypropyl)imino]methyl]-4-methylphenol (H3L2) and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Me2pzH) with nickel(II) nitrate in a reaction at room temperature, initially aimed to yield a dinuclear complex. From a room temperature metal ion/ligand reaction, the proligand H3L2 in situ transformed to modified forms HL3(2-) and HL4(2-), allowing the [Ni4] formation. Variable-temperature magnetic behavior of a [Ni4] complex reveals antiferromagnetic interactions with stabilization of a diamagnetic ground state (ST = 0).

A series of actinide-transition metal heterobimetallics has been prepared, featuring thorium, uranium, and cobalt. Complexes incorporating the binucleating ligand N[ο-(NHCH2P(i)Pr2)C6H4]3 with either Th(IV) (4) or U(IV) (5) and a carbonyl bridged [Co(CO)4](-) unit were synthesized from the corresponding actinide chlorides (Th: 2; U: 3) and Na[Co(CO)4]. Irradiation of the resulting isocarbonyls with ultraviolet light resulted in the formation of new species containing actinide-metal bonds in good yields (Th: 6; U: 7); this photolysis method provides a new approach to a relatively unusual class of complexes.
