Abstract
In an effort to explore [trans-Co(en)(2)Cl-2](+) as anion receptor for large size anions, 2-chloro,5-nitrobenzenesulphonate and tetrathionate ion, green coloured single crystals of (trans-Co(en)2Cl(2)]C6NO2SO3H3Cl I and [trans-Co(en)(2)Cl-2](2)S4O6 11 have been obtained by slowly mixing the separately dissolved trans-dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride with metal salts of 2-chloro,5-nitrobenzenesulphnic acid and tetrathionic acid in aqueous medium in 1: 1 and 2:1 molar ratio, respectively. The newly synthesized complex salts were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses and spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV/visible, H-1 and C-13 NMR). Single crystal X-ray structure determinations revealed that I crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c and 11 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P (1) over bar. Supramolecular hydrogen bonding networks between ionic groups: oxygen atoms of 2-chloro,5-nitrobenzenesulphonate or tetrathionate and NH groups of coordinated ethylenediamine molecules, i.e. N-H center dot center dot center dot O- interactions by second sphere coordination besides electrostatic forces of attraction have been observed. This suggests that [trans-Co(en)(2)Cl-2](+) is a promising anion receptor for the weakly coordinating sulphonate and tetrathionate ions. The solubility product measurements indicate that the affinity of cationic cobaltammine [trans-Co(en)(2)Cl-2](+) is greater for 2-chloro,5-nitrobenzenesulphonate than tetrathionate ion.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
