Synthesis and Coordination Chemistry of the Novel Ligand N,N’-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-bis(ethylacetate)-1,2-ethanediamine (debpn)
Qiao Zhang and Christian R. Goldsmith*Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Auburn University, AL 36849
Abstract
Heptacoordinate transition metal complexes are rare, due to the shortage of ligands that can enforce the unusual geometries associated with this coordination number. These compounds can potentially provide insights into associative ligand exchange mechanisms and enable modes of reactivity that are distinct from those seen for lower-coordinate analogs. We report the novel ligand N,N’-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-bis(ethylacetate)-1,2-ethanediamine (debpn) and its complexes with first-row transition metal ions. With Mn(II), Fe(II), and Zn(II), debpn is hexadentate, binding through all four N-donors and the two esters. With the larger metal ions, debpn enables seven-coordinate geometries, with an exogenous water molecule completing the coordination.

In the overwhelming majority of first-row transition metal complexes, the metal ions are found in low coordinate geometries due to their relatively small ionic radii. Heptacoordinate complexes are observed, fleetingly, as intermediates in associative ligand exchange reactions. Stable seven-coordinate complexes can be prepared using polydentate ligands with a predisposition to chelate metal ions in unusual geometries (Figure 1). Higher-coordinate metal complexes have been investigated as potential catalysts for redox reactions and as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. The novel ligand N,N’-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-bis(ethylacetate)-1,2-ethanediamine (debpn) is neutrally charged and potentially hexadentate, binding metal ions through two amines, two pyridine rings, and two esters. The esters are anticipated to bind metals more weakly and have been investigated as substrate-docking sites in oxidants derived from the Mn(II) and Fe(II) compounds reported here.
