Helicates, boxes, and polymers from simple pyridine-alcohol ligands: the impact of the identity of the transition metal ion was written by Telfer, Shane G.;Parker, Nyree D.;Kuroda, Reiko;Harada, Takunori;Lefebvre, Julie;Leznoff, Daniel B.. And the article was included in Inorganic Chemistry in 2008.Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks This article mentions the following:
The coordination chem. of 6-methylpyridine-2-methanol (1) and enantiopure (R)-1-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)ethanol (2) with a range of divalent 1st-row transition metal salts was studied in an effort to determine whether H-bonded helicates will form, as observed for Co(II) salts. H-bonded helicates, [Cu2(1)2(1-H)2X2] (X = Cl, Br), were only observed upon combining 1 with CuCl2 and CuBr2 in MeOH solution Other metal salts led to alternative products, viz. Cu(ClO4)2 in the presence of base gives [Cu2(1)2(1-H)2](ClO4)2, ZnCl2 and ZnBr2 give the 1-dimensional helical coordination polymers [Zn(1-H)Cl]∞ and [Zn(1-H)Br]∞, a mixture of NiCl2 and Ni(OAc)2 produces the [Ni4(1-H)4Cl2(OAc)2(MeOH)2] cubane, NiCl2 leads to the [Ni4(1-H)4Cl4(MeOH)4] cubane, while MnCl2 gives the known cubane [Mn4(1-H)6Cl4]. The reaction of 2 with CuCl2 produces the mononuclear complex Λ-[Cu(2)2Cl]Cl, while reaction with CuBr2 leads to a dimer, Λ,Λ-[Cu2(2)3(2-H)Br2]Br, which is held together by a single H bond between the monomeric subunits. The solid-state CD spectra of these latter complexes were recorded and are very similar. The temperature-dependent magnetic behavior of [Cu2(1)2(1-H)2X2] (X = Cl, Br), [Cu2(1)2(1-H)2](ClO4)2, [Cu2(2)3(2-H)Br2]Br, and [Ni4(1-H)4Cl2(OAc)2(MeOH)2] was studied. Weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the Cu(II) centers is mediated by the H bonds in the [Cu2(1)2(1-H)2X2] (X = Cl, Br) complexes. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 6-Methyl-2-pyridinemethanol (cas: 1122-71-0Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks).
6-Methyl-2-pyridinemethanol (cas: 1122-71-0) belongs to alcohols. Alkyl halides are often synthesized from alcohols, in effect substituting a halogen atom for the hydroxyl group. A multistep synthesis may use Grignard-like reactions to form an alcohol with the desired carbon structure, followed by reactions to convert the hydroxyl group of the alcohol to the desired functionality.Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks
