Abstract
Different transition metal coordination compounds based on py-2,5-dcH(2) have been synthesised, i.e. (H2-a-4-mpym)(2)[Zn(py-2,5-dc)(2)(H2O)(2)] (1), (H9-aacr)(2)[Zn(py-2,5-dc)(2)(H2O)(2)]center dot 4H(2)O (2), (H9-aacr)(2)[Ni(py-2,5-dc)(2)(H2O)(2)]center dot 2H(2)O (3), (H9-aacr)(2)[Cu(py-2,5-dc)(2)(H2O)]center dot H2O center dot DMF (4), and (H9-aacr)(3)[Cr(CN)(4)(py-2,5-dc)]center dot 5H(2)O (5), starting from two proton-transfer compounds, (H2-a-4-mpym)(2)(py-2,5-dc) and (H9-aacr)(2)(py-2,5-dc) [2-a-4-mpym = 2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine, py-2,5-dcH(2) = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxyxlic acid, and 9-aacr = 9-aminoacridine]. They were characterized by elemental analyses, IR and H-1-, C-13-NMR spectroscopy, TGA, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Results revealed that following various experimental conditions such as temperature, solvent, and pH, the py-2,5-dcH(2) ligand undertakes different coordination modes to the metal centres determined by their stereoelectronic requirements and affording mononuclear complex anions with the coordination environments (either pseudo-octahedral or square pyramidal geometries) being completed by water molecules (1-4) or CN- ligands (5).
