Mononuclear lanthanide complexes with tetradentate bis(phosphorylamino)-substituted 1,8-naphthyridine ligand: Synthesis and structural studies

Crystal structure of N-(7-di-bromo-methyl-5-methyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)benzamide-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (1/1)

The title compound, C17H13Br2N3O·C4H5NO2, is a co-crystal of N-(7-di-bromo-methyl-5-methyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)benzamide and pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (succinimide). The benzamide mol-ecule exhibits pseudo-mirror symmetry, with an r.m.s. deviation of the non-H atoms of 0.09 Å (except for the two Br atoms). The angle between the least-squares planes of the two mol-ecules is 26.2 (2)°. In the crystal, the two mol-ecules are mutually linked by N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The packing is consolidated by C-H⋯(O,N) hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions.

Synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic behaviour of four coordination compounds constructed with a phosphinic amide-TEMPO radical and [M(hfac)2] (M = Cu(II), Co(II) and Mn(II))

In the present work we describe the synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties of four coordination compounds obtained by assembling a new phosphinic amide containing the TEMPO moiety, 1-piperidinyloxy-4-[(diphenylphosphinyl)amino]-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl radical (dppnTEMPO), with [M(hfac)2] building blocks (M = Cu(II), Co(II), Mn(II)). The crystal structures of the coordination compounds revealed the usefulness of the functionalized radical to provide discrete or extended architectures. In the copper compound () the ligand is coordinated through the oxygen atom of the NP[double bond, length as m-dash]O linkage to the metal, which exists in a square pyramidal or octahedral geometry. For the cobalt and manganese complexes (), both the phosphinic amide and the nitroxide oxygen atoms are involved in the coordination to the metal leading to one dimensional systems. In the cobalt complex () an interesting spin topology in the zig-zag chain was obtained due to the oxygen atom of the phosphinic amide group being μ2 coordinated to two cobalt(ii) ions. The magnetic behaviour of the coordination compounds shows overall antiferromagnetic interactions involving the metal ion and the organic radical. DFT calculations were performed in order to assign the main path for the magnetic interactions.
