A spectroscopic study on the coordination and solution structures of the interaction systems between biperoxidovanadate complexes and the pyrazolylpyridine-like ligands

In order to understand the substitution effects of pyrazolylpyridine (pzpy) on the coordination reaction equilibria, the interactions between a series of pzpy-like ligands and biperoxidovanadate ([OV(O2)2(D2O)](-)/[OV(O2)2(HOD)](-), abbrv. bpV) have been explored using a combination of multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, and (51)V) magnetic resonance, heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), and variable temperature NMR in a 0.15 mol L(-1) NaCl D2O solution that mimics the physiological conditions. Both the direct NMR data and the equilibrium constants are reported for the first time. A series of new hepta-coordinated peroxidovanadate species [OV(O2)2L](-) (L = pzpy-like chelating ligands) are formed due to several competitive coordination interactions. According to the equilibrium constants for products between bpV and the pzpy-like ligands, the relative affinity of the ligands is found to be pzpy > 2-Ester-pzpy ≈ 2-Me-pzpy ≈ 2-Amide-pzpy > 2-Et-pzpy. In the interaction system between bpV and pzpy, a pair of isomers (Isomers A and B) are observed in aqueous solution, which are attributed to different types of coordination modes between the metal center and the ligands, while the crystal structure of NH4[OV(O2)2(pzpy)]·6H2O (CCDC 898554) has the same coordination structure as Isomer A (the main product for pzpy). For the N-substituted ligands, however, Isomer A or B type complexes can also be observed in solution but the molar ratios of the isomer are reversed (i.e., Isomer B type is the main product). These results demonstrate that when the N atom in the pyrazole ring has a substitution group, hydrogen bonding (from the H atom in the pyrazole ring), the steric effect (from alkyl) and the solvation effect (from the ester or amide group) can jointly affect the coordination reaction equilibrium.

Spectroscopic investigation of the interaction between diperoxovanadate complexes and benzimidazole-like ligands

To understand the effects of benzimidazole substitution on reaction equilibrium, the interactions between a series of benzimidazole-like ligands and [OV(O₂)₂(D₂O)]⁻/[OV(O₂)₂(HOD)]⁻ in solution were explored by a combination of multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, and (51)V) magnetic resonance and variable temperature NMR in 0.15 mol/L NaCl ionic medium for mimicking the physiological condition. Some direct NMR data are reported for the first time. These results show that the relative reactivity among the organic ligands is 2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole>(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methanol>1-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)ethanol>1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole. Both the steric effect and the electron effect of the 2-position substituted groups in benzimidazole ring affect the reaction equilibrium. The competitive coordination results in the formation of a series of new six-coordinated peroxovanadate species [OV(O₂)₂L]⁻(L=benzimidazole-like ligands). Moreover, the results of density functional calculations provided a reasonable explanation on the relative reactivity of the benzimidazole-like ligands as well as the important role of solvation in these reactions.

Investigation on the complex of diperoxovanadate with picolinamide

A novel diperoxovanadate complex NH(4)[OV(O(2))(2)(picolinamide)].H(2)O was synthesized from aqueous solution under physiological conditions. The solution structure of the complex was characterized by multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, (14)N, and (51)V), variable temperature as well as two-dimensional (DOSY) NMR techniques in the interaction system of NH(4)VO(3)/H(2)O(2)/picolinamide at room temperature. The crystal structure of the complex was determined at 223K by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. It belongs to the monoclinic space group P21/c with a=7.323(3)A, b=14.255(7)A, c=10.022(5)A, beta=99.524(9) degrees , V=1031.7(8)A(3), and Z=4. The crystal is composed of ammonium ions, picolinamide oxodiperoxovanadate(V) ions, and water molecules, which are held together by ionic and hydrogen bond forces. The species [OV(O(2))(2)(picolinamide)](-) is seven-coordinated with a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry both in solution and in crystal.

NMR and theoretical study on interactions between diperoxovanadate complex and 4-substituted pyridines

To understand the substituting group effects of organic ligands on the reaction equilibrium, the interactions between diperoxovanadate complex [OV(O2)2(D2O)]-/[OV(O2)2(HOD)](-) and a series of 4-substituted pyridines in solution were explored using multinuclear (1H, 13C, and 51V) magnetic resonance, DOSY, and variable temperature NMR in 0.15 mol/L NaCl ionic medium for mimicking the physiological condition. Some direct NMR data are given for the first time. The reactivity among the 4-substituted pyridines is pyridine > isonicotinate > N-methyl isonicotinamide > methyl isonicotinate. The competitive coordination results in the formation of a series of new six-coordinated peroxovanadate species [OV(O2)2L](n-) (L = 4-substituted pyridines, n = 1 or 2). The results of density functional calculations provide a reasonable explanation on the relative reactivity of the 4-substituted pyridines. Solvation effects play an important role in these reactions.

Spectroscopic and theoretical study on the interaction between diperoxovanadate and oxazole

Detailed investigations were carried out to explore the interaction systems of NH(4)VO(3)/H(2)O(2)/oxazole in aqueous solution under physiological conditions by a combined use of multinuclear NMR ((1)H, (13)C, (14)N and (51)V), diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY), variable temperature NMR, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), spin-lattice relaxation and density functional calculations. The results indicated the formation of a new peroxovanadate species [OV(O(2))(2)(oxazole)](-) with oxazole coordinating to vanadium through nitrogen atom. The solution structure of the new species was predicted from theoretical calculations.

Interactions between diperoxovanadate complex and amide ligands in aqueous solution

Multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, (14)N, and (51)V) NMR spectroscopy has been used to study the reactions between the diperoxovanadate complex K(3)[OV(O(2))(2)(C(2)O(4))] x H(2)O (abbr. bpV(ox)) and ethylenediamine or diethylamine in aqueous solution. The interaction between bpV(ox) and diethylamine was very weak and no new complex was formed. However, bpV(ox) reacted with ethylenediamine giving a new product in which ethylenediamine attached to the vanadium atom via one nitrogen atom in a monodentate manner. Diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) measurements and theoretical calculations proved the formation of new product in bpV(ox) and ethylenediamine. The vanadium atoms in both [OV(O(2))(2)(C(2)O(4))](3-) and [OV(O(2))(2)(en)](-) species are six coordinated in solution state.

Multinuclear NMR spectroscopic and theoretical study on the interactions between diperoxovanadate complex and picoline-like ligands

To understand the substituting effects of organic ligands on the reaction equilibrium, the interactions between diperoxovanadate complex [OV(O(2))(2)(H(2)O)](-) and a series of picoline-like ligands in solution were explored using 1D multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, and (51)V) magnetic resonance, 2D diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY), and variable temperature NMR in 0.15 mol/l NaCl ionic medium for mimicking the physiological conditions. The order of reactive capability of the picoline-like ligands with [OV(O(2))(2)(H(2)O)](-) is found to be picolinamide>N-methylpicolinamide>methyl picolinate>ethyl picolinate approximately propyl picoliniate>isopropyl picolinate. The substituting group influences the reactivity by either steric effect or electron-donating effect. Competitive coordination interactions result in a series of new seven-coordinated peroxovanadate species [OV(O(2))(2)L](-) (L=picoline-like ligands). Their coordination ways were confirmed by density functional calculations.
