Three methods have been developed to prepare gallium and indium complexes of three tetradentate N(2)S(2) ligands of the general formula M(N(2)S(2))R (M = Ga, In; R = Cl, Br, SCN, O(2)CC(6)H(5)-O,O'). The ancillary ligand (Cl, SCN, O(2)CC(6)H(5)-O,O') was varied with the tetradentate ligand BAT-TM. X-ray crystallography shows that the coordination geometry about the d(10) metal ion is influenced by the steric requirements of the ligands. X-ray crystallography of four molecules results in the following data: GaCl(BAT-TM) (1), formula = C(10)H(22)ClGaN(2)S(2), space group = Pnma, a = 12.387(4) Å, b = 21.116(6) Å, c = 5.986(2) Å, V = 1565.8(9) Å(3), Z = 4; InCl(BAT-TM) (2), formula = C(10)H(22)ClInN(2)S(2), space group = Pnma, a = 12.968(9) Å, b = 29.29(1) Å, c = 5.866(2) Å, V = 1620(2) Å(3), Z = 4; InNCS(BAT-TM) (3), formula = C(11)H(24)ClInN(3)S(3), space group = Pbca, a = 11.812(3) Å, b = 11.679(3) Å, c = 24.238(9) Å, V = 3449.7 (17) Å(3), Z = 8; In(O,O'-O(2)CC(6)H(5))(BAT-TM) (4), formula = C(19)H(29)O(2)InN(2)S(2), space group = P2(1)/n, a = 10.783(2) Å, b = 18.708(4) Å, c = 12.335(4) Å, V = 2321.7(9) Å(3), Z = 4. Proton NMR studies show that the complexes are stable in solution; in polar solvents such as acetonitrile, for certain molecules, two metal-ligand complexes are observed. Similarly, two metal-ligand complexes are seen in NMR data taken in 80% acetonitrile/20% D(2)O (pD = 4.6) mixture. HPLC studies (acetonitrile/50 mM sodium acetate, pH = 4.6) show that the lipophilicity of the ligand determines the retention time of the complex. |
