Late transition metal complexes bearing nitrogen-containing ligands may act as catalyst in biotechnology or industrial catalysis. Imidazole is one of the most common biofunctional ligands that play critical roles in meta1loenzymes, since the imidazole moiety of the histidyl residues often constitutes all or part of the binding sites of various transition metal centers. In this work, some new zinc(II), copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes containing the imidazolate and pyridyl moieties incorporated in the imine (ImPyI) and amine (ImPyA) ligands were obtained. Different methods of crystallization yield crystals of complexes (2), (6), (8), (9), (10), (17) and (18). Subsequent structural analyses revealed their interesting structures. In zinc(II) and nickel(II) complexes, facial isomers were isolated while none of the meridional isomers were observed. Particularly interesting is the zinc(II) complexes where two facial complexes with different geometries were identified. The mixture of the different nitrogen donor groups in the same ligand provides handy comparison of these structural variations due to the different nature of these donor groups. One tridentate ligand with bromide substitution on the imidazolate and a tetradentate ligand with an additional pyridyl group were synthesized as an extension of this work. One crystal structure of each of the corresponding metal complex bearing these ligands is also discussed here. Most metal complexes are consolidated by extensive weak hydrogen bonds among them in the crystal lattices.

A autoxidação dos complexos de Ni(II) e Co(II) com tetra, penta e hexaglicina, em meio de tampão borato, é acelerada por espécies de enxofre (IV) (H2S0<SUB3, HS03-e SO32-). A formação dos complexos de Ni(III) e Co(III) foi acompanhada espectrofotometricamente em 325 e 265 nm, respectivamente. A velocidade da reação de autoxidação do complexo de Ni(II)/Gn aumenta com a concentração de S(IV) e é máxima em pH &#926;8,5. O processo é autocatalítico com Ni(III)ou Co(III)atuando como iniciadores, forma~os pela oxidação espontânea de Ni(II) ou Co(II) pelo oxigênio molecular. A dependência da constante de velocidade observada com a oncentração de S(IV) evidenciou possíveis reações paralelas com formação de um complexo com ligantes mistos antes da etapa da oxidação. A autoxidação dos complexos de Cu(II)com penta e hexaglicina em pH =9 é muito lenta, na presença e na ausência de S(IV).A presença de S(IV) e de traços de Ni(II)ou Co(II) aumenta significativamente a velocidade e a eficiência da reação (período de indução de 0,5 s). O mecanismo envolve uma cadeia de reações e um ciclo redox dos complexos. Acetaldeído e formaldeído inibem parcialmente a reação de autoxidação de Ni(II)/G4 na presença de S(IV) e luminol.O método quimiluminescente desenvolvido pode ser empregado para determinação de formaldeído [(5,0.10-5 - 1,0.10-2) mol L-1] e acetaldeído [(1,0.10-4 - 0,10) mol L-1], não sendo possível detectar separadamente cada um desses aldeídos. Na autoxidação de Ni(OH)2 induzida por S(IV) na presença de luminol ocorre emissão de radiação, possibilitando a detecção de S(IV) na faixa de 5,0.10-8 a 1,0.10-5 mol L-1, com limite de detecção estimado de 1,3.10-8 mol L-1. / The autoxidation of Ni(lI) and Co(lI) complexes with tetra, penta and hexaglycine, in borate medium, is accelerated by sulfur (IV) species (H2S03, HS03- and SO32-). The formation of Ni(llI) and Co(lIl) complexes was followed spectrophotometrically at 325 and 265 nm, respectively. The autoxidation rate of Ni(II)/Gn complex increases with S(IV) concentration and is maximum at pH ~ 8.5. The process is autocatalytic with Ni(lIl) or Co(llI) acting as initiators, formed by spontaneous oxidation by oxygen. The dependence of the observed rate constant with S(IV) concentration showed evidences of back or parallel reactions with formation of mixed ligand complex prior to the oxidation step. The autoxidation of Cu(II)/penta and hexaglycine complexes at pH = 9, in the presence and absence of S(IV), is very slow. The presence of S(IV) and of small amounts of Ni(lI) or Co(lI) increases significantly the effectiveness and reaction rate (induction period = 0.5 s). The mechanism involves a radical chain and redox cycling of the metal íon complexes. Acetaldehyde and formaldehyde partially inhibit the autoxidation reaction of Ni(II)/G4 in the presence of S(IV) and luminol. The developed chemiluminescent method can be used for determination of formaldehyde [(5.0.10-5 - 1.0.10-2) mol L-1] and acetaldehyde [(1.0.10-4 - 0.10) mol L-1), being not possible their isolated detection. The S(IV) induced autoxidation of Ni(OH)2 in the presence of luminol, occurs with radiation emission, allowing S(IV) detection in the range 5.0.10-8 to 1.0.10,-5 mol L-1, with detection limit of 1.3.10-8 mol L-1.

Le sujet de cette thèse porte sur la synthèse de ligands de type bis-NHC (carbène N-Hétérocyclique) et leur réactivité vis-À-Vis des complexes d’argent(I), de cuivre(I) et de nickel(II).Après avoir exploré les différentes méthodologies de synthèse des complexes de nickel(II) bis-NHC, le but était de tester leurs activités en catalyse d’oligomérisation de l’éthylène. Une série de nouveaux complexes d’argent(I) et de cuivre(I) fut synthétisée. Cinq voies furent testées pour la formation de complexes de nickel. Les résultats les plus probants furent obtenus par transmétallation à partir des complexes d’iodure ou de bromure d’argent(I). / The purpose of this work was the synthesis of bis-NHC (N-Heterocyclic carbene) ligands, theformation of the corresponding silver(I), copper(I) and nickel(II) complexes and the assessment ofthe catalytic activity of the bis-NHC nickel(II) complexes in ethylene oligomerization. A series of new bis-NHC silver(I) and copper(I) complexes was synthesized. Five different synthetic routes were tested for the formation of nickel(II) bis-NHC complexes. The most significant results were obtained by transmetalation from the silver(I) iodide or bromide complexes.

Thesis (MSc (Chemistry and Polymer Science))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / N,N-dialkyl-N-acyl(aroyl)thiourea ligands form stable chelated complexes in a cis configuration with the platinum group metals. Such chelated complexes are generally considered substitutionally “inert” in solution, however, it was found that cis-bis(N,Ndialkyl- N-acyl(aroyl)thioureato)M(II) complexes (M = Ni(II), Pd(II) or Pt(II)) readily undergo facile chelate metathesis reactions in solution at room temperature. Upon mixing two different parent complexes, a mixed-ligand product formed in solution, with an equilibrium, or steady state, between the two parent complexes and the mixed-ligand product being attained after a period of time: M(LA)2 + M(LB)2 M(LA)(LB). All three complexes remained in solution even with a ten-fold excess of one parent complex. The presence of the mixed-ligand products in solution was confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and a crystal structure of the mixed-ligand complex cis-Pd(L3-S,O)(L4-S,O). Though a number of attempts were made, it was not possible to either isolate or synthesise the mixed-ligand complexes exclusively. The equilibrium distribution and the rate of the metathesis reaction were influenced by a number of factors, including the central metal ion, the substituents on the complexed ligands and the reaction medium. In addition to these, a number of other factors, some unexpected, also played a role in the rate of the reaction. Initial concentration of the parent complexes, the age of the solutions upon mixing and the presence of impurities or additives all contributed to the overall rate of reaction. The results from these rate studies highlighted the necessity for extensively purified compounds. In addition to chelate metathesis reactions, the exchange between a cis-Pd(L-S,O)2 complex and an unbound HL ligand in solution was also investigated. Again, even with an excess of unbound ligand, all three possible complexes were present in solution. It has been shown previously that these complexes undergo a photoinduced cis-trans isomerisation under intense light, and it has been proposed that the reverse trans-cis process, which occurs in the dark, may be a metathesis reaction. In light of this, the relationship between these chelate metathesis reactions and the reverse trans-cis reaction was briefly investigated. Though the metathesis reactions were a general phenomenon in the Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes of the aforementioned ligands, the experiments focused mainly on the cis-Pd(L-S,O)2 complexes due to the favourable timescales of their metathesis reactions. The primary technique to observe these reactions was reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-HPLC). The timescales involved in the cis-Pd(L-S,O)2 metathesis reactions as well as the stability of the Pd(II) complexes under the HPLC conditions made this technique ideal.

Desenvolveu-se sistemática de trabalho para coletar valores da função &#241; vs. concentração de ligante e processos de cálculo de constantes de equilíbrio. Os sistemas Co(II)/N-3 e Ni(II)/N-3 foram analisados com o objetivo de identificar os complexos formados e determinar as respectivas constantes de estabilidade. O estudo desses sistemas foi realizado a (25,0 ± 0,l) &#176;C e em força iônica 2,0 M ajustada com NaClO4. Com base na formação de soluções tampão N-3/ HN3 e na variação de pH provocada pela adição do íon metálico Co(II) ou Ni(II), realizou-se um estudo potenciométrico para cada um dos sistemas acima indicados. Estes estudos foram realizados numa ampla faixa de concentração analítica de azoteto (0 a 2,000 M) e para diversas concentrações do íon metálico, para possibilitar uma análise mais detalhada sobre a formação dos complexos. Em relação ao sistema Co(II)/N-3 foi possível determinar a formação de cinco espécies mononucleares. As respectivas constantes de estabilidade foram calculadas por três métodos diferentes. A comparação dos desvios calculados para os valores de &#241; obtidos a partir de cada um dos três conjuntos de constantes permitiu decidir pelo seguinte conjunto de constantes: &#946;1 = 5,67 ± 0,20 M-1 &#946;2 = 19,5 &#177; 2,1 M-2 &#946;3 = 6,52 ± 4,66 M-3 &#946;4 = 15,8 ± 2,0 M-4 &#946;5 = 4,83 ± 0,31 M-5 Num comportamento diverso ao dos íons Co (II) o niquel levou à formação de complexos polinucleares. Realizou-se então um estudo monográfico envolvendo aspectos estruturais, qualitativos e quantitativos sobre a formação de complexos polinucleares. O sistema Ni(II)/-3 foi então analisado através do método potenciométrico citado mas em condições que permitiram a obtenção de um número maior de dados experimentais em relação ao sistema Co(II)/N-3, para tornar possível a determinação da composição assim como o cálculo das constantes de estabilidade das espécies existentes em equilíbrio. Dois métodos de cálculo foram utilizados, adotando-se o seguinte conjunto de constantes de equilibrio: mononucleares Ni(N3)+ &#946;11 = 5,80 Ni(N3)2 &#946;12 = 9,69 Ni(N3)-3 &#946;13 = 7,54 Ni(N3)=4 &#946;14 = 534 binucleares Ni2(N3)3+ &#946;21 = 4,06 Ni2(N3)2+2 &#946;22 = 31,8 Ni2(N3)+3 &#946;23 = 175 Ni2(N3)4 &#946;24 = 2,06x104 Ni2(N3)-5 &#946;25 = 2,30x105 Ni2(N3)=6 &#946;26 = 7,15x105 trinucleares Ni3(N3)2+4 &#946;34 = 2,28x104 Ni3(N3)+5 &#946;35 = 3,51x106 Ni3(N3)6 &#946;36 = 1,17x108 Três estudos complementares foram realizados para o sistema Ni(II)/N-3. A utilização de métodos espectrofotométrico e potenciométrico em condições de excesso de metal em relação ao ligante permitiu determinar as contantes de estabilidade das espécies mono e binucleares mais simples: NiN+3 e Ni2N3+3. O método espectrofotométrico forneceu um valor de &#946;11 = 6,90 M-1, enquanto que o segundo método forneceu &#946;11 = 7,53 &#177; 0,10 M-1 e &#946;21 = 4,29 &#177; 0,15 M-2. Medidas espectrofotométricas realizadas nas condições do segundo método permitiram calcular as absortividades molares das duas espécies, em cinco comprimentos de onda na faixa do ultravioleta. No comprimento de onda de absorção máxima dos complexos (293 nm) os valores de &#949; encontrados foram os seguintes: &#949;11 = 362 e &#949;21 = 475 cm-1mol-11. Finalmente, um estudo condutométrico feito em alta concentração de Ni(II) (0,4 M) e para concentrações variáveis de azoteto permitiu identificar a formação da espécie Ni2(N3)-5. Fez-se uma série de diagramas de distribuiçao, os quais mostraram as contribuições de cada espécie em função do ligante e, eventualmente, da concentração total do íon metálico (sistemas polinucleares). / A systematic approach in order to obtain &#241; data vs. free ligand concentration was developed as well as calculation procedures for treatment of the data to obtain stability constants. The Co(II)/N-3 and Ni(II)/N-3 systems were analysed with the purpose to identify the formed complexes and to compute its stability constants. The equilibria studies were performed at 25.0 ± 0.1&#176; C and 2.0 M ionic strength maintained with NaClO4. The pH change in azide/hydrazoic acid buffers caused by the metal cation addition was the basis of the potentiometric method to study the complex formation. A wide range of azide concentration was used at several metal cation (cobalt or nickel) concentration in order to provide reliable results. With regard to the Co(II)/N-3 system the formation of five stepwise complexes was detected. The stability constants were computed from three different calculation procedures. The best set of formation constants is: &#946;1 = 5,67 ± 0,20 M-1 &#946;2 = 19,5 &#177; 2,1 M-2 &#946;3 = 6,52 ± 4,66 M-3 &#946;4 = 15,8 ± 2,0 M-4 &#946;5 = 4,83 ± 0,31 M-5 The nickel(II)/azide system presented a quite different behaviour as compared with the cobalt(ll) one, as extensive polynuclear complex formation is attained. A monographic study about this kind of complex formation seemed interesting to be included in this thesis. An extensive study of the nickel(II)/azide system was performed at conditions wich provide enough experimental data to be treated on basis of polynuclear complex formation. Two different calculation procedures lead to the following set of equilibrium constant: mononuclear Ni(N3)+ &#946;11 = 5,80 Ni(N3)2 &#946;12 = 9,69 Ni(N3)-3 &#946;13 = 7,54 Ni(N3)=4 &#946;14 = 534 binuclears Ni2(N3)3+ &#946;21 = 4,06 Ni2(N3)2+2 &#946;22 = 31,8 Ni2(N3)+3 &#946;23 = 175 Ni2(N3)4 &#946;24 = 2,06x104 Ni2(N3)-5 &#946;25 = 2,30x105 Ni2(N3)=6 &#946;26 = 7,15x105 trinuclears Ni3(N3)2+4 &#946;34 = 2,28x104 Ni3(N3)+5 &#946;35 = 3,51x106 Ni3(N3)6 &#946;36 = 1,17x108 Two complementary studies, potentiometric and spectrophotometric, were performed at high metal cation/1igand ratio in order to create conditions for the existence of on1y a few species as Ni(N3)+ and Ni2(N3)3+. &#946;11 from spectrophotometric method is 6.90 M-1; from potentiometric method &#946;11 is 7.53 ± 0.10 M-1 and &#946;21 is 4.29 ± 0.15 M-2. The molar absorptivities at &#955;max, 293 nm, was calcu1ated as &#949;11 = 362 cm-1. mol-1.1 and &#949;21 = 475 cm-1. mol-1.1. Finally a conductometric titration of 0.4 M niekel(II) with 3.9 M sodium azide showed a high contribution of Ni2(N3) -5 in agreement with the potentiometric study. A series of distribution diagrarns were plotted in order to have the percent contribution of each species vs. the ligand concentration and, eventually, vs. the metal concentration when polynuclear complexes are formed.

No. of bitstreams: 1 JOSÉ RIBAMAR NASCIMENTO DOS SANTOS.pdf: 1283725 bytes, checksum: 4c5d6eba4cec82d8cb883aa89b0a81f6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-09-19 / CAPES / The electro-oxidation of ethanol was evaluated on a pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE) chemically modified with the nickel(II)-bis(1,10-phenanthroline) complex (Ni(II)(Phen)2) supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) (rGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2/PGE). The Ni(II)(Phen)2 complex, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and the rGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2 composite were prepared and characterized by the techniques of Spectroscopy in the UV-Vis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Diffraction of X-rays. The electrocatalytic activity of the material was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. In alkaline solution, the voltamograms obtained for rGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2/PGE showed the formation of well defined redox peaks associated with the Ni(II)/Ni(III) redox couple. The results showed that the RGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2 composite significantly increases the electrocatalytic activity for ethanol oxidation compared to the electrode modified only with the Ni(II)(Phen)2 complex. Using the Laviron theory, the charge transfer rate constant (ks) and the electron transfer coefficient (α) of the electrode reaction were calculated to be 0.56 s-1 and 0.61, respectively. A investigation of the electro-oxidation of ethanol was performed by evaluating the effect of different parameters such as potential scan rate, OH- concentration and alcohol concentration. The chronoamperometric experiments were used to determine the diffusion coefficient of ethanol (D = 4.7 Χ 10-6 cm2 s-1) and the catalytic rate constant (kcat = 1.26 Χ 107 cm3 mol-1 s-1). The results obtained in this study clearly indicate the viability of rGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2/PGE as an electrocatalyst for ethanol oxidation. / A eletro-oxidação do etanol foi avaliada em um eletrodo de grafite pirolítico (PGE) quimicamente modificado com o complexo de níquel(II)-bis(1,10-fenantrolina) (Ni(II)(Phen)2) suportado em óxido de grafeno reduzido (rGO) (rGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2/PGE). O complexo Ni(II)(Phen)2, o óxido de grafeno reduzido (rGO), e o compósito rGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2 foram preparados e caracterizados pelas técnicas de Espectroscopia na região do UV-Vis, Espectroscopia de Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier e Difração de Raios X. A atividade eletrocatalítica do material foi avaliada por voltametria cíclica e cronoamperometria. Em solução alcalina, os voltamogramas obtidos para rGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2/PGE mostraram processos redox bem definidos associados ao par redox Ni(II)/Ni(III). Os resultados mostraram que o compósito rGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2 aumenta significativamente a atividade eletrocatalítica para a oxidação do etanol em comparação com o eletrodo modificado apenas com o complexo Ni(II)(Phen)2 adsorvido na superfície do eletrodo. Usando a teoria de Laviron, a constante de velocidade de transferência de carga (ks) e o coeficiente de transferência de elétrons (α) da reação do eletrodo foram calculados sendo 0,56 s-1 e 0,61, respectivamente. Uma investigação da eletro-oxidação do etanol foi realizada avaliando o efeito de diferentes parâmetros, como a velocidade de varredura do potencial, a concentração de OH- e a concentração de álcool. Os experimentos cronoamperométricos foram utilizados para determinar o coeficiente de difusão do etanol (D = 4,7 Χ 10-6 cm2 s-1) e a constante de velocidade catalítica (kcat = 1,26 Χ 107 cm3 mol-1 s-1). Os resultados obtidos neste estudo indicam, claramente, a viabilidade do rGO/Ni(II)(Phen)2/PGE como eletrocatalisador da oxidação de etanol.
