Five- and Six-coordinated Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), Copper(II), and Zinc(II) Complexes of the Pentadentate Schiff Base Ligands N,N′-bis[(2-hydroxy-5-Y-phenyl)phenylmethylene]-4-azaheptane-1,7-diamine (Y = Chloro Or Methyl) and N,N′-bis[(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)phenylmethylene]-4-thiaheptane-1,7- Diamine

Abstract

Zinc(II), copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II) complexes of the potentially pentadentate ligands H2cbpN, H2mbpN, and H2cbpS and some Lewis base adducts (with pyridine (py) and 2-, 3-, and 4-methylpyridine (2-Mepy, 3-Mepy, 4-Mepy)) have been isolated and their spectral and magnetic properties investigated. The ligands are formed from the Schiff base condensation of 2-hydroxy-5-Y-benzophenone (Y = chloro, methyl) with 4-azaheptane-1,7-diamine (H2cbpN and H2mbpN) and 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzophenone with 4-thiaheptane-1,7-diamine (H2cbpS). These data indicate that the complexes ML (L = cbpN, mbpN, cbpS) are all five-coordinate. Previous x-ray structural data had shown that Ni(mbpN), Cu(mbpN), Zn(mbpN)·H2O, and Zn(cbpN)·H2O were five-coordinate. Spectral data indicate that the adducts with heterocyclic Lewis bases, ML·base (M = Co(II), Ni(II)), are octahedral with the Schiff base ligands acting as pentadentates. The postulated structures of the cbpX complexes differ unexpectedly from those previously postulated for the analogous salicylaldimines.
