Syntheses, crystal structures, and properties of optically active Lu(III) and Yb(III) complexes of <i>N,N′</i>-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-<i>N,N′</i>-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-<i>R</i>-1,2-propanediamine with chloride or thiocyanate
收藏资源简介：
The reaction of <i>N,N′</i>-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-<i>N,N′</i>-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-<i>R</i>-1,2-propanediamine (<i>R</i>-bbppnH<sub>2</sub>) with LnCl<sub>3</sub>∙6H<sub>2</sub>O (Ln: Lu, Yb) stereoselectively gave an optically active complex, [LnCl(<i>R</i>-bbppn)], which crystallizes in the acentric space group of <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>. The central lutetium(III) is coordinated by two oxygens from two phenolates, four nitrogens from two pyridines, and one bidentate propanediamine of <i>R</i>-bbppn<sup>2−</sup>, one chloride to form a seven-coordinate distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. Although two optical isomers, ΔΛΔ and ΛΔΛ, are possible for such a structure, the absolute configuration of the complex is stereoselectively unified to ΔΛΔ. The coordinated chloride of the complex is readily replaced by other ligands, and hence the reaction with thiocyanate results in formation of another seven-coordinate complex, [Ln(NCS)(<i>R</i>-bbppn)].
