Treatment of the metal amides with pyridine afforded the bispyridine complexes M{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 }(py) 2 (M 0/Mn, 1a; Fe, 2a; Co, 3a). Distillation or sublimation of 2a or 3a afforded the monopyridine complexes M{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 (py) (M 0/Fe, 2b; Co, 3b). The addition of pyrazine (prz) to Mn{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 also yielded the bispyrazine adduct Mn{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 (prz) 2 , 1b. However, the reaction of 4,4?-bipyridyl with Fe{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 or Co{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 afforded the polymeric chain-like complexes {M{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 (4,4?-bipy)} (M 0/Fe, 4; Co, 5). With the exception of 2b, all complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complexes 1a, 1b, 2a and 3a displayed monomeric structures and metal geometries that are based on a tetrahedron with interligand angles that deviate markedly from idealized values. Complex 3b was found to have a distorted trigonal planar geometry. In contrast, complexes 4 and 5 displayed polymeric zig-zag chain structures which have four coordinate metal centers connected by 4,4?-bipyridyl ligands. Magnetic studies indicated that complexes 1 Á/3b have high-spin electron configurations and that the paramagnetic centers in 4 and 5 did not interact with each other through the 4,4?bipyridyl ligands. #

A sequence of first row transition metal(II) dithiolates M(SAr)(2) (M = Cr(1), Mn(2), Fe(3), Co(4... more A sequence of first row transition metal(II) dithiolates M(SAr)(2) (M = Cr(1), Mn(2), Fe(3), Co(4), Ni(5) and Zn(6); Ar = C(6)H(3)-2,6-(C(6)H(2)-2,4,6-Pr(i)(3))(2)) has been synthesized and characterized. Compounds 1-5 were obtained by the reaction of two equiv of LiSAr with a metal dihalide, whereas 6 was obtained by treatment of ZnMe(2) with 2 equiv of HSAr. They were characterized by spectroscopy, magnetic measurements, and X-ray crystallography. The dithiolates 1, 2, and 4-6 possess linear or nearly linear SMS units with further interactions between M and two ipso carbons from C(6)H(2)-2,4,6-Pr(i)(3) rings. The iron species 3, however, has a bent geometry, two different Fe-S distances, and an interaction between iron and one ipso carbon of a flanking ring. The secondary M-C interactions vary in strength in the sequence Cr(2+) approximately Fe(2+) > Co(2+) approximately Ni(2+) > Mn(2+) approximately Zn(2+) such that the manganese and zinc compounds have essentially two coordination but the chromium and iron complexes are quasi four and three coordinate, respectively. The geometric distortions in the iron species 3 suggested that the structure represents the initial stage of a rearrangement into a sandwich structure involving metal-aryl ring coordination. The bent structure of 3 probably also precludes the observation of free ion magnetism of Fe(2+) recently reported for Fe{C(SiMe(3))(3)}(2). DFT calculations on the model compounds M(SPh)(2) (M = Cr-Ni) support the higher tendency of the iron species to distort its geometry.

The adducts have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR, 77 Se NMR and ESI-MS analysis. The 77 Se NMR spectrum of the SO 2À 4 adduct ( ) shows an upfield shift compared to the parent macrocycle. The bromo (5), iodo (6), sulfate (7), trifluroacetate (10) adducts of the 22-membered selenaaza macrocycle and perchlorate (16), trifluroacetate (18) adducts of the 28-membered selenaaza macrocycle have been structurally characterized. The crystal structures show extensive hydrogen bonding networks. The molecular structures of all the compounds show the macrocycle to be fully protonated except the trifluroacetate adduct of the 22-membered macrocycle (10), which is only diprotonated. The binding constants of the neutral 22-membered selenaaza macrocycle towards, fluoride, bromide, iodide and sulfate ion have been determined by the NMR titration method.

All the compounds were synthesized using the ortholithiation methodology. Insertion of elemental selenium into the Li-C bond of RLi (6) (R ) 8-(dimethylamino)-1naphthyl) afforded the lithium areneselenolate RSeLi (7). Oxidative workup of 7 yielded the yellow diselenide 8 in good yield. Reaction of 8 with a stoichiometric amount of sulfuryl chloride gave the monochloro derivative (9). Controlled bromination of diselenide (8) with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gave the stable selenenyl bromide (10). Compound 8 underwent facile reaction with a stoichiometric amount of iodine to give the corresponding novel monoiodo compound (11) in which selenium is covalently bonded to iodine. Attempts to synthesize the chalcogenides, R 2 E, 12 (E ) Se) and 13 (E ) Te), by the reaction of 6 with Se(dtc) 2 and Te(dtc) 2 (dtc ) diethyldithiacarbamate), respectively, were unsuccessful. The reaction of 6 with Te(dtc) 2 afforded the stable RTe(dtc) (14) instead of the expected telluride R 2 Te (13). In contrast, the reaction of R′Li (17) (R′ ) 2-[(dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl] with Se(dtc) 2 and Te(dtc) 2 afforded the expected selenide R′ 2 Se (18) and telluride R′ 2 Te (19), respectively, in moderate yields. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR ( 1 H, 13 C, 77 Se, 125 Te), and mass spectral techniques. The structures of the compounds 9, 11, 14, and 18 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Although N‚‚‚E (E ) Se or Te) nonbonded interactions are present in the solid state in all the derivatives, in solution the pyramidal inversion at the nitrogen center is not blocked, and as a result, the NMe 2 signals are observed as sharp signals in the 1 H NMR spectra.

The chemistry of a series of azomethine macrocycles, with selenium/tellurium atoms in o-positions with respect to the C@N bond is discussed. These are the first Schiff base macrocycles to incorporate selenium or tellurium atom in the ring. The strong stabilization of the 10-E-3 (E = Se/Te) structures of these macrocycles by E-N coordination permits the access to these novel macrocycles by [2+2] template-free condensation of bis(aldehyde) with primary diamines. The success of cyclization has been confirmed by the usual methods of IR, NMR and X-ray structural determinations. After a brief discussion of the synthetic methods adopted for these macrocycles, their complexing abilities toward different metal ions are covered. The macrocyclic polyamine ligands, derived by reduction of the corresponding Schiff bases, readily form complexes with a range of metal ions. This allows a comparison of the properties of complexes of these ligands with those derived from the Schiff bases containing the same denticity but having a different flexibility. The selena-and tellura-macrocycles reported by other groups in the field are also included for comparison. Also discussed is the anion binding studies of some of these macrocycles.

The chiral ditelluride (R),(R)-bis[2-(4-ethyl-2-oxazolinyl)phenyl] ditelluride is synthesized in an enantiomerically pure form by stereoselective ortho-lithiation. The thiol peroxidase activity of the ditellurides is studied by using H 2 O 2 as a substrate and PhSH as a cosubstrate. The initial rates for the reduction of H 2 O 2 catalyzed by diaryl ditellurides are much higher than those catalyzed by the corresponding diselenides. A comparison of the activities between various diorganyl ditellurides and diselenides shows that the presence of basic amino groups in the close proximity of tellurium enhances the reduction rates and the effect of amino groups on the activity is more pronounced in the case of ditellurides as compared to the corresponding diselenides. On the other hand, a correlation between the strength of Te‚‚‚N intramolecular interactions and thiol peroxidase activity reveals that the strong Te‚‚‚N interactions reduce the thiol peroxidase activity of amino/imino-substituted ditellurides. A plot of Te‚‚‚N distances against 125 Te NMR chemical shifts shows a linear correlation. † Indian Institute of Technology. ‡ Howard University.

We have recently started work on syntheses, structures and reactivity of intramolecularly coordinated organoselenium compounds. The synthesis of these compounds makes extensive use of the ortho-lithiation reaction followed by insertion of selenium into Li-C bond.

The reaction of o-lithiobenzaldehyde acetal (5) with Se(dtc)2 (dtc=diethyldithiacarbamate) afforded bis(o-formylphenyl) selenide acetal (6) in good yield. The key starting material 7 was isolated as pale yellow solid upon refluxing 6 with concentrated HCl. The structure of 7 was solved in the monoclinic space group P2/c with cell constants a=8.0170(6) Å, b=8.4514(6) Å and c=17.5289(12) Å, Z=4. The condensation of 7 with diethylenetriamine yielded the novel macrocyclic ligand [C36H38N6Se2] 8 via metal-free dimerization. Crystals of 8 are monoclinic, space group C2/c with a=18.732(3) Å, b=8.6515(10) Å, c=22.590(3) Å and Z=4. Hydrogenation of macrocycle 8 provided the corresponding saturated tetraazamacrocycle [C36H46N6Se2] (9), protonation of which with HBr afforded [C36H52N6Se2Br6·H2O] (10). The two novel cryptands [C54H54N8Se3] (12) and [C54H54N8Te3] (13) were prepared from the reaction of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) and the chalcogenides (7) and bis(o-formylphenyl) telluride (11) respectively using cesium ion as the template.
