Abstract-A

series of iron( cobalt(II), copper(I1) and zinc(I1) complexes containing tetraazamacrocyclic ligands have been prepared by the condensation of 1,2-diaminoethane, 1,3-diaminopropane and ortho-phenylene diamine with methyl acetoacetate or ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of iron( cobalt(II), copper(I1) and zinc(I1) salts at room temperature. The structure and bonding of macrocyclic ligands have been studied from elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, ‘H NMR, mass, EPR and electronic spectra of the complexes. The stereochemistry around the metal ions is octahedral in which four of the coordination sites are occupied by the nitrogens of the macrocyclic ligand and the remaining octahedral positions are occupied by two chlorines.

The design and synthesis of polyazamacrocycles have attracted increasing interest in recent years for the possible relevance of these compounds as model’*2 ligands for metal enzymes and metal proteins as metal-ion selective ligands. Synthesis of organic substrates that preferentially interact with particular metal ions is of fundamental importance to many areas of chemistry.3 Condensation reactions between dicarbonyls and primary diamines have played an important role in the development of synthetic macrocyclic ligands which have been proved to be a fruitful source of imino macrocycles.4,21Usually such syntheses were carried out in the presence of a suitable metal ion which serves to direct the steric course of the reaction preferentially towards cyclic rather than oligomeric or polymeric products.4d Of the polyazamacrocycles, the tetraaza group has been the most intensively studied because of its great biological importance. Relative to their open-chain analogues, macrocyclic ligands have further stereochemical contraints associated with their cyclic nature which may influence their

potential for metal ion recognition.7 For macrocycles incorporating rigid or semi-rigid cavities, recognition (and hence discrimination) may be associated with a close match or otherwise of the radius of the metal ion for the cavity.3 Kimura and co-workers have reported’ a series of diamide macrocycles and their applications. Recently we have reported9,“‘*” the synthesis and characterization of tetraazamacrocyclic complexes bearing the polyamide group and dithiadiazamacrocyclic complexes. Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of diamidediimine tetraazamacrocyclic complexes, [ML,Cl+ [ML,ClJ and wL’,Cl,]-[ML;Cl,] [M = Fe”, Co”, Cu” and Zn”), which resulted from the condensation of methylacetoacetate or ethylacetoacetate and diamines in the presence of metal salts EXPERIMENTAL

The chemicals, methyl acetoacetate, ethyl acetoacetate, 1,3-diaminopropane, 1,Zdiaminoethane and ortho-phenylene diamine (all E. Merck) were used as received. FeCl, * 6H2O, CoC12* 6H2O,

CuCl, * 2Hz0 and ZnCl, (BDH) were commercially pure samples and were dehydrated with acetic anhydride. All the solvents were dried before use. Preparation of dichloro(5,12-dioxa-l,lCdimethyl1,4,&l 1-tetraazacyclotetradeca-1 ,&diene) metaZ(II), [ML&l or [ML’, Clz] (M = Fe”, Co’i, Cu” or Zn”)

A methanolic solution (50 cm3) of ethylene diamine (20 mmol) was added dropwise with stirring to a methanolic solution (50 cm3) of the anhydrous metal chloride (10 mmol). After the addition of all the diamine, the contents were stirred for 1 h, followed by the addition of a methanolic solution (50 cm3) of methyl acetoacetate or ethyl acetoacetate (20 mmol) and stirred for a further 16 h at room temperature, resulting in the formation of the macrocyclic complexes [ML,C12] or [ML’, Cl*] (M = Fe”, Co”, Cu” or Zn”). The microcrystalline products thus formed were filtered, washed several times with methanol and dried in uacuo. All the experiments were carried out under dry nitrogen. Preparation

of dichloro(6,14-dioxa-8,16-dimethyl-

1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadeca- 1,9-diene) metal(I1) and dichloro(2,3 : 9,10-dibenzo-5,12-dioxa-7,14-d& methyl - 1,4,&l 1 - tetraazacyclotetradeca - 1,8 - diene) metal(I1) [ML,Cld or [ML;Cl,] and [ML,ClJ or [ML;Cl,] (M = Fe”, Co”, Cu” or Zn”)

These compounds were prepared and isolated by the same procedure as described above. Here 1,3propanediamine and ortho-phenylenediamines were employed instead of ethylenediamine. Elemental analyses for C, H, N and mass spectra (JMSD-300) were obtained from the Microanalytical Laboratory of CDRI, Lucknow, India. ‘H NMR spectra were determined in DMSO-d6

using a Bruker AC 200E NMR spectrometer with Me,Si as an internal standard. Metals and chlorides were determined volumetrically’2 and gravimetrically,‘3 respectively. The IR spectra (4000-200 cm-‘) were recorded as CsCl discs on a PerkinElmer 62 1 spectrophotometer. The electronic spectra in DMSO were recorded on a Pye-Unicam 8800 spectrophotometer at room temperature. EPR spectra were recorded on a Jeol JES RE2X EPR spectrometer. The electrical conductivities of lop3 M solution in DMSO were obtained on a Systronic Type 302 conductivity bridge equilibrated at 25 + 0.1°C. Magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out using a Faraday balance at 25°C.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The molecular formulae of the ‘complexes [ML&l&-[ML,Cld or [ML’, Cl,]-[ML;&] have been assigned on the basis of the results of their elemental analyses and the molecular ion peaks in the mass spectra (Table 1). All mass spectra showed molecular ion peaks for the 1: 1 metal-to-ligand stoichiometry with no further peaks above them. A preliminary identification of the metal complexes was made on the basis of their IR spectra, which exhibited no bands characteristic of free primary amine, thus supporting the proposed macrocyclic skeleton (Scheme 1). The IR spectra of all the complexes (Table 2) show a new strong intensity band in the 1590-1610 cm-’ region, which may reasonably be assigned to the imine function [v(eN)] of the macrocyclic system. However, its position is negatively shifted (15-25 cm-‘) when compared with that reported for the uncoordinated imine function in polyaza macrocyclic moieties, indicating coordination via

CH bending vibrational modes. However, a medium intensity band at 280-290 cm-’ may unambiguously be assigned for the M-Cl stretching mode. The EPR spectra of the polycrystalline Cu” macrocyclic complexes were recorded at room temperature and their g,, and g1 values have been calculated. The values of g,, and g1 have been used to distinguish” unambiguously between dxz_,,z and the d,z ground states. For example, for the d,z_g ground state the EPR spectrum should give g,, > g,_ > 2.02 in most cases, whilst a dzz ground state usually gives a spectrum with g1 > g,, N 2.0. The tetraazamacrocyclic copper(I1) complexes studied here do not show any hyperfine splitting, but gave only a single signal for which gll and g1 values appeared in the regions 2.24-2.30 and 2.092.15, respectively. These observations are characteristic*“*’ of axially distorted octahedral copper(I1) complexes in which the unpaired electron is present in the d,z_g orbital. In an axial symmetry the g values are related by the expression G = @,,- 2)/@, - 2), which measures the exchange interaction between copper centres in the polycrystalline solid ;**if G > 4 exchange interaction is negligible and G < 4 indicates considerable exchange interaction in the solid complexes. The calculated G values appeared in the range 1.66-2.66. The gay values were calculated according to the relation gav = $@,,+gJ and gave values in the range 2.23 kO.07, which are in agreement with an orbitally non-degenerate ground state.23 The ‘H NMR spectra of the zinc complexes (Table 3) gave singlets at 1.60-1.82 and 2.1G2.31 ppm, corresponding” to CH3(6H) protons and CH2(4H) protons of the alkyl acetoacetate, respectively. However, the ‘H NMR spectra of the complexes [ML,ClJ and [ML;Cl,] show a multiplet in the region 7.51-7.70 ppm, corresponding to the phenyl ring protons (8H). The ‘H NMR spectra of all the complexes show a broad signal at 8.23-8.41 ppm and can be assigned” to amide protons (2H), whilst the spectra of the complexes [ML1C12] and [ML’,Cl,] show a singlet at 3.12-3.16 ppm. A multiplet for the complexes [ML,C12] and [ML;Cl,] shown at 3.08-3.16 ppm corresponds to CH2 (8H) protons14 adjacent to nitrogen while the middle CH2 (4H) protons of the propane chain of the complexes [ML,Cl,] and [ML;Cl,] give a multiplet at 2.052.09 ppm. However, the spectra of all the complexes do not show any signal corresponding to free primary amine protons. The observed low molar conductivities recorded in DMSO indicate that these are non-electrolytes in nature. The overall geometries of these macrocycles

have been deduced on the basis of the observed values of the magnetic moments and the band positions in the electronic spectra. The observed magnetic moments pea (B.M.) (Table 4) recorded at room temperature correspond to high-spin d6 and d’ systems, consistent2~2s with the octahedral environment around iron(I1) and cobalt(I1). The electronic spectra of iron(I1) complexes exhibit a weak intensity band at ca 11,210-l 1,900 cm-‘, which may reasonably be assigned to ‘T2,+ ‘E, (Table 4) consistent26,27with an octahedral environment around the iron(I1) ion. However, the electronic spectra of the cobalt complexes show two ligand field bands appearing in the 13,510-14,450 and 21,700-22,200 cm-’ regions which may reasonably29 correspond to 4T,, (F)--r4A2, (F) and 4T1, (F) -+4T,, (P) transitions, respectively. The band corresponding to the transition 4T1, (F) -4T2s (F) expected to appear below the 8500 cm-’ range could not be recorded for these complexes as it lies beyond the range of the instrument. The electronic spectra of the copper complexes show a broad band (Table 4) maxima at ca 18,20019,000 cm-’ with a shoulder on the low energy side at ca 15,280-16,620 cm-‘, which may unambiguously be assigned to *B1,+ ‘E, and *B1,-+ ‘B, transitions respectively, corresponding to distorted octahedral geometry around the metal ion.30 The magnetic moment values again confirm the above proposed geometry. All the complexes exhibit strong absorptions around 30,700 cm-‘, which may be associated with the intraligand charge-transfer involving the imine functions.3’ authors thank Chairman, Department of Chemistry and CDRI, Lucknow, for providing research and laboratory facilities.
