VI Abstract The work presented in this thesis focuses on two areas: (1) synthesis and characterization of A^-functionalized transition metal alkyl complexes by employing sterically demanding ligands, and (2) studies on the reactivities of these metal alkyl complexes towards protic reagents such as phenol and thiophenoL Chapter 1 begins with a brief introduction to the general background of organometallic chemistry. Decomposition pathways and common synthetic methods for organo-transition metal compounds are briefly discussed. A brief review of previous results on the synthesis of metal alkyl complexes involving the bulky A^-functionalized alkyl ligand "R^ = -C(SiMe3)2C5H4N-2 concludes Chapter 1. Chapter 2 describes synthetic and structural studies leading to novel homoleptic iron(n) and cobalt(II) dialkyl complexes [M(R")2] ["R^ = -C(SiMe3)2C5H4N-2，M = Fe (55)，Co (56); -R3 = -CH(SiMe3)C9H6N-8，M = Fe (57)，Co (58)]. Complexes 55， 56 and 58 have been fully characterized (including X-ray diffraction studies). Cyclic voltammetry of 56 and 57 is also reported. In addition, reactivities of complexes 55 and 56 towards a variety of protic reagents and Lewis bases have also been studied. Compound 55 reacts with the bulky thiophenol ArSH (Ar = 2’4,6」Bu3C6H2) and the bulky phenol Ar^eOH (ArMe = 4-Me-2,6」Bu2C6H2) to give the corresponding neutral monomeric iron(II) dithiolate [Fe(SAr)2(R^H)] (63) and diaryloxide [Fe(OArMe)2(R2H)] (66), respectively. A free molecule of R^H was found to be bound intact to the iron(II) center through iV-coordination.

  • Chelation Effect of 2,4-Pentadione with Ni(II) and Cu(II) Ions
    Chemistry Research Journal, 2021, 6(2):48-57 Available online www.chemrj.org ISSN: 2455-8990 Research Article CODEN(USA): CRJHA5 Chelation Effect of 2,4-Pentadione with Ni(II) and Cu(II) Ions Terhemba, S. Iningev ⃰ , Aondoaver, J. Gbertyo Department of Chemistry, Benue State University, PMB 102119 Makurdi, Nigeria *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract Synthesis of inorganic compounds with medical application is the aspect this work set to contribute. Ni(II) and Cu(II) chelates of2,4-pentadione (acetylacetone) were obtained from the reaction of hydrated divalent metal chloride salts with acetylacetone in aqueous ammonical medium. The complexes were prepared in order to examine the effect of chelation of 2,4-pentadione with metal ions, and antimicrobial activity on some pathogens. The compounds were characterised by infrared spectrophotometry. The absorption bands of the carbonyl group after coordination with Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions were lowered to1605 cm-1 and 1575cm-1, respectively. The spectral results suggest that there is a reduction in bond order of C=O after chelation, the consequence of resonance effect. The compounds were subjected to antimicrobial activity using Mueller Hinton agar and Sabouraud dextrose agar. Minimum Inhibition Concentration and Minimum Bacteria/Fungi Concentration were determined using serial broth dilution method. Ni(II) complex had shown significant antimicrobial activity on two fungi. Cu(II) complex on the other hand had shown wide biological activity on the tested microbes exception of P. milibilis. The metal chelates demonstrated better activities against the tested pathogens than the free ligand due to increase in permeability of the metal chelates through the microbe’s cell.

  • Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Coordination and Organometallic Compounds
    17 Microwave-assisted Synthesis of Coordination and Organometallic Compounds Oxana V. Kharissova, Boris I. Kharisov and Ubaldo Ortiz Méndez Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Monterrey, México 1. Introduction Microwave irradiation (MW) as a “non-conventional reaction condition” (Giguere, 1989) has been applied in various areas of chemistry and technology to produce or destroy diverse materials and chemical compounds, as well as to accelerate chemical processes. The advantages of its use are the following (Roussy & Pearce, 1995): 1. Rapid heating is frequently achieved, 2. Energy is accumulated within a material without surface limits, 3. Economy of energy due to the absence of a necessity to heat environment, 4. Electromagnetic heating does not produce pollution, 5. There is no a direct contact between the energy source and the material, 6. Suitability of heating and possibility to be automated. 7. Enhanced yields, substantial elimination of reaction solvents, and facilitation of purification relative to conventional synthesis techniques. 8. This method is appropriate for green chemistry and energy-saving processes. The substances or materials have different capacity to be heated by microwave irradiation, which depends on the substance nature and its temperature. Generally, chemical reactions are accelerated in microwave fields, as well as those by ultrasonic treatment, although the nature of these two techniques is completely distinct. Microwave heating (MWH) is widely used to prepare various refractory inorganic compounds and materials

In the last few decades, much attention has focused on the development of nonprecious metal-based catalysts and, in more recent years, their integration in solid-state support materials and devices that operate in water. This review surveys the literature on 3d metal-based molecular catalysts and focuses on their immobilization on heterogeneous solid-state supports for electro-, photo-, and photoelectrocatalytic synthesis of fuels in aqueous media. The first sections highlight benchmark homogeneous systems using proton and CO2 reducing 3d transition metal catalysts as well as commonly employed methods for catalyst immobilization, including a discussion of supporting materials and anchoring groups. The subsequent sections elaborate on productive associations between molecular catalysts and a wide range of substrates based on carbon, quantum dots, metal oxide surfaces, and semiconductors. The molecule−material hybrid systems are organized as “dark” cathodes, colloidal photocatalysts, and photocathodes, and their figures of merit are discussed alongside system stability and catalyst integrity.

Received: 15 June 2018; Accepted: 17 July 2018; Published: 19 July 2018 Abstract: Achieving control over coordination geometries in lanthanide complexes remains a challenge to the coordination chemist. This is particularly the case in the field of molecule-based magnetism, where barriers for magnetic relaxation processes as well as tunneling pathways are strongly influenced by the lanthanide coordination geometry. Addressing the challenge of design of 4f-element coordination environments, the ubiquitous Ln(hfac)3 moieties have been shown to be applicable as Lewis acids coordinating transition metal acetylacetonates facially leading to simple, chiral lanthanide–transition metal heterodinuclear complexes. The broad scope of this approach 0 is illustrated by the synthesis of a range of such complexes LnM: LnM(hfac)3(µ2-acac-O,O,O )3 (Ln = La, Pr, Gd; M = Cr, Fe, Ga), with approximate three-fold symmetry. The complexes have been crystallographically characterized and exhibit polymorphism for some combinations of 4f and 3d metal centers. However, an isostructural set of systems spanning several lanthanides which exhibit spontaneous resolution in the orthorhombic Sohncke space group P212121 is presented here.

For this process the precursor molecules are evaporated. To engineer such a process the knowledge of the vapor or sublimation pressures is essential because they determine the maximum theoretical growth rate and the composition. The gaseous diffusion coefficients for organometallic compounds are needed for the calculation of the Sherwood and Lewis numbers used to describe mass transfer process. Such data are either lacking or not well established. This work reports the thermal stability, vapor pressure and the gaseous diffusion coefficient for numerous organometallic compounds that are used as CVD precursors. These includes 1. Metal acetylacetonates ([M(acac)n]) of aluminium, chromium, iron, thulium, manganese, ruthenium, vanadium, dysprosium, zinc, copper and nickel. 2. Metal 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptandionate ([M(tmhd)n]) of iron, manganese, aluminium, chromium, europium, nickel, and copper. 3. Metallocene ([M(cp)n]) of nickel and ruthenium. 4. Newly synthesized precursors or non commercial precursors of hafnium, zirconium, ruthenium, tungsten and copper. Some of the precursors were sensitive towards ambient atmosphere. Therefore, the samples were stored in the glove box.

Helmut Cölfen Tag der mündlichen Disputation: 24. 08. 2005 To my Family Abstract In this work, the nonaqueous synthesis of binary and ternary metal oxide nanoparticles is investigated for a number of technologically important materials. A strong focus was put on studying the reaction mechanisms leading to particle formation upon solvothermal treatment of the precursors, as an understanding of the formation processes is expected to be crucial for a better control of the systems, offering the potential to tailor particle size and morphology. The synthesis of BaTiO3 was achieved by solvothermal reaction of metallic barium and titanium isopropoxide in organic solvents. Phase-pure, highly crystalline particles about 6 nm in size resulted in benzyl alcohol, whereas larger particles could be obtained in ketones such as acetone or acetophenone. In benzyl alcohol, a novel mechanism was found to lead to BaTiO3, involving a C–C coupling step between the isopropoxide ligand and the benzylic carbon of the solvent. The resulting coupling product, 4-phenyl-2-butanol, is found in almost stoichiometric yield.
