Paramagnetic diruthenium(III) complexes (acac)(2)Ru(III)(mu-OC(2)H(5))(2)Ru(III)(acac)(2) (6) and [(acac)(2)Ru(III)(mu-L)Ru(III)(acac)(2)](ClO(4))(2), [7](ClO(4))(2), were obtained via the reaction of binucleating bridging ligand, N,N,N',N'-tetra(2-pyridyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine [(NC(5)H(4))(2)-N-C(6)H(4)-N-(NC(5)H(4))(2), L] with the monomeric metal precursor unit (acac)(2)Ru(II)(CH(3)CN)(2) in ethanol under aerobic conditions. However, the reaction of L with the metal fragment Ru(II)(bpy)(2)(EtOH)(2)(2+) resulted in the corresponding [(bpy)(2)Ru(II) (mu-L) Ru(II)(bpy)(2)](ClO(4))(4), [8](ClO(4))(4). Crystal structures of L and 6 show that, in each case, the asymmetric unit consists of two independent half-molecules. The Ru-Ru distances in the two crystallographically independent molecules (F and G) of 6 are found to be 2.6448(8) and 2.6515(8) A, respectively. Variable-temperature magnetic studies suggest that the ruthenium(III) centers in 6 and [7](ClO(4))(2) are very weakly antiferromagnetically coupled, having J = -0.45 and -0.63 cm(-)(1), respectively. The g value calculated for 6 by using the van Vleck equation turned out to be only 1.11, whereas for [7](ClO(4))(2), the g value is 2.4, as expected for paramagnetic Ru(III) complexes. The paramagnetic complexes 6 and [7](2+) exhibit rhombic EPR spectra at 77 K in CHCl(3) (g(1) = 2.420, g(2) = 2.192, g(3) = 1.710 for 6 and g(1) = 2.385, g(2) = 2.177, g(3) = 1.753 for [7](2+)). This indicates that 6 must have an intermolecular magnetic interaction, in fact, an antiferromagnetic interaction, along at least one of the crystal axes. This conclusion was supported by ZINDO/1-level calculations. The complexes 6, [7](2+), and [8](4+) display closely spaced Ru(III)/Ru(II) couples with 70, 110, and 80 mV separations in potentials between the successive couples, respectively, implying weak intermetallic electrochemical coupling in their mixed-valent states. The electrochemical stability of the Ru(II) state follows the order: [7](2+) < 6 < [8](4+). The bipyridine derivative [8](4+) exhibits a strong luminescence [quantum yield (phi) = 0.18] at 600 nm in EtOH/MeOH (4:1) glass (at 77 K), with an estimated excited-state lifetime of approximately 10 micros.

Synthesis of a novel hexametallic compound, [[(bpy)(2)Ru(biim)](4)Cu(2)](ClO(4))(4), (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and biim = 2,2'-biimidazolate dianion) from a monometallic complex, [(bpy)(2)Ru(biim)] and hydrated Cu(ClO(4))(2) is described. The X-ray structure consists of four octahedral ruthenium(II) centers arranged around a bimetallic Cu(2)-core. The four octahedral [(bpy)(2)Ru(biim)] units arranged around the Cu(2)-moiety that resulted in a propeller shape arrangement. The results of cryomagnetic measurements on the di-copper complex indicate that the two Cu(II) ions are coupled antiferromagnetically through the two bridging biim ligands. The EPR spectrum of the complex showed a typical axial spectrum. Optical spectra and redox properties of are reported. An intense absorption at 525 nm is assigned as Ru(dpi) --> pi(*)(bpy) transition.

The green colored complexes of the type Re(V)O(L(SB))Cl(2), 1, have been synthesised by reacting NBu(4)[ReOCl(4)] with HL(SB) in dry ethanol. Here, L(SB)(-) are the deprotonated forms of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-2-picolylamine (HL(SB)(1)); N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N',N'-dimethylethylenediamine (HL(SB)(2)) and N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N',N'-diethylethylenediamine (HL(SB)(3)). Similarly, NBu(4)[ReOCl(4)] reacted with N,N-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-2-picolylamine (H(2)L(1)); N,N-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N',N'-dimethylethylenediamine (H(2)L(2)); N,N-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N',N'-diethylethylenediamine (H(2)L(3)); [N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)]-2-aminoethanol (H(2)L(4)); [N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)]-2-methyl-2-amino-1-propanol (H(2)L(5)); N,N-bis(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-picolylamine (H(2)L(6)), to give the monochloro complexes Re(V)O(L)Cl, 2. The X-ray structures of the complexes are reported. The molecular structures observed in the solid state are preserved in solution ((1)H NMR). In acetonitrile solution the Re(V)O(L)Cl, 2, display a one-electron couple, Re(VI)O(L)Cl(+)-Re(V)O(L)Cl, near 1.0 V vs SCE. The electrogenerated hexavalent complexes [Re(VI)O(L)Cl]ClO(4), 3, are paramagnetic and display sextet EPR spectra in solution at room temperature (A(av) approximately 417 (G), g approximately 1.914).

The self-assembly of supramolecular copper "tennis balls" that possess unusual magnetic properties using a small pyridyl amide ligand is described. Copper(II) complexes of N-(2-pyridylmethyl)acetamide (HL) were synthesized in methanol. In the absence of base, the mononuclear complex [Cu(HL)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (1) was prepared. The structure of 1, determined by X-ray crystallography, contains a copper(II) ion surrounded by bidentate HL ligands coordinated via the pyridyl N atom and the carbonyl O atom in a trans, square planar arrangement. Reactions carried out in the presence of triethylamine resulted in cluster complexes [Cu(8)L(8)(OH)(4)](ClO(4))(4) and [Cu(8)L(8)(OH)(4)](CF(3)SO(3))(4) [2(ClO(4))(4) and 2(OTf)(4), respectively]. The cationic portions of 2(ClO(4))(4) and 2(OTf)(4) are isostructural, containing eight copper(II) ions, eight deprotonated ligands (L(-)), and four mu(3)-hydroxide ligands. The top and bottom halves of the cluster are related by a pseudo-S(4) symmetry operation and are held together by bridging L(-) ligands. Solutions of 2(ClO(4))(4) and 2(OTf)(4), which were shown to contain the full [Cu(8)L(8)(OH)(4)](4+) fragment by electrospray mass spectrometry and conductance experiments, are EPR silent. Magnetic susceptibility measurements for 2(ClO(4))(4) as a function of temperature and magnetic field showed the Cu ions all to exhibit magnetic moments in the range expected for the d(9) configuration. At low temperatures, the magnetization was reduced due to predominantly antiferromagnetic interactions between ions. Analysis showed that partially frustrated interactions among the four Cu ions making up each half of the cluster gave good agreement with the data once a large molecular anisotropy was taken into account, with J(c) = 106 cm(-1), D = 27 cm(-1), and g = 2.17.

The first structurally characterized Cr(V) dioxo complex, cis-[CrV(O)2(phen)2](BF4) (2, phen=1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized by the oxidation of a related Cr(III) complex, cis-[Cr(III)(phen)2(OH2)2](NO3)3.2.5H2O (1, characterized by X-ray crystallography), with NaOCl in aqueous solutions in the presence of excess NaBF4, and its purity has been confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS), EPR spectroscopy, and analytical techniques. Previously reported methods for the generation of Cr(V)-phen complexes, such as the oxidation of 1 with PbO2 or PhIO, have been shown by ESMS to lead to mixtures of Cr(III), Cr(V), Cr(VI), and in some cases Cr(IV) species, 3. Species 3 was assigned as [CrIV(O)(OH)(phen)2]+, based on ESMS and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements. A distorted octahedral structure for 2 (CrO, 1.63 A; Cr-N, 2.04 and 2.16 A) was established by multiple-scattering (MS) modeling of XAFS spectra (solid, 10 K). The validity of the model was verified by a good agreement between the results of MS XAFS fitting and X-ray crystallography for 1 (distorted octahedron; Cr-O, 1.95 A; Cr-N, 2.06 A). Unlike for the well-studied Cr(V) 2-hydroxycarboxylato complexes, 2 was equally or more stable in aqueous media (hours at pH=1-13 and 25 degrees C) compared with polar aprotic solvents. A stable Cr(III)-Cr(VI) dimer, [Cr(III)(Cr(VI)O4)(phen)2]+ (detected by ESMS), is formed during the decomposition of 2 in nonaqueous media. Comparative studies of the oxidation of 1 by NaOCl or PbO2 have shown that [Cr(V)(O)2(phen)2]+ was the active species responsible for the previously reported oxidative DNA damage, bacterial mutagenicity, and increased incidence of micronuclei in mammalian cells, caused by the oxidation products of 1 with PbO2. Efficient oxidation of 1 to a genotoxic species, [Cr(V)(O)2(phen)2]+, in neutral aqueous media by a biological oxidant, hypochlorite, supports the hypothesis on a significant role of reoxidation of Cr(III) complexes, formed during the intracellular reduction of Cr(VI), in Cr(VI)-induced carcinogenicity. Similar oxidation reactions may contribute to the reported adverse effects of a popular nutritional supplement, Cr(III) picolinate.

The temperature dependence of the X-ray crystal structure and powder EPR spectrum of [(HC(Ph(2)PO)(3))(2)Cu](ClO(4))(2).2H(2)O is reported, and the structure at room temperature confirms that reported previously. Below approximately 100 K, the data imply a geometry with near elongated tetragonal symmetry for the [(HC(Ph(2)PO)(3))(2)Cu](2+) complex, but on warming the two higher Cu-O bond lengths and g-values progressively converge, and by 340 K the bond lengths correspond to a compressed tetragonal geometry. The data may be interpreted satisfactorily assuming an equilibrium among the energy levels of a Cu-O(6) polyhedron subjected to Jahn-Teller vibronic coupling and a lattice strain. However, agreement with the experiment is obtained only if the orthorhombic component of the lattice strain decreases to a negligible value as the temperature approaches 340 K.

Ruthenium nitrosyl complexes [Ru(trpy)(L(1-4))(NO)](3+) (13-16) [trpy = 2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine, L(1) = 2-(2-pyridyl)benzoxazole, L(2) = 2-(2-pyridyl)benzthiazole, L(3) = 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole, L(4) = 1-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl)-1H-benzimidazole] were obtained in a stepwise manner starting from [Ru(II)(trpy)(L(1-4))(Cl)]ClO(4) (1-4) -->[Ru(II)(trpy)(L(1-4))(H(2)O)](ClO(4))(2) (5-8) --> [Ru(II)(trpy)(L(1-4)) (NO(2))]ClO(4) (9-12) --> [Ru(II)(trpy)(L(1,2,4))(NO)](ClO(4))(3) (13, 14, 16)/[Ru(II)(trpy)(L(3))(NO)](ClO(4))(2)(NO(3)) (15). Crystal structures of 1, 2, 4, 9, 12, 13, 15, and 16 established the stereoretentive nature of the transformation processes. Though the complexes of L(1), L(3), and L(4) were isolated in the isomeric form A (pi-acceptor trpy and azole ring in the equatorial plane and the pyridine and chloride donors in the axial positions), complexes of L(2) preferentially stabilized in form B (trpy and pyridine in the equatorial plane and the azole ring and chloride donors in the axial positions). The nu(NO) stretching frequency varied in the range of 1957-1932 cm(-1), 13 >> 14 approximately 15 > 16, primarily depending on the electronic aspects of L as well as the isomeric structural forms. The coordinated nitrosyl function underwent successive reductions of [Ru(II)-NO(+)](3+) --> [Ru(II)-NO(*)](2+) and [Ru(II)-NO(*)](2+) --> [Ru(II)-NO(-)](+), and the first reduction potential follows the order 14 > 13 >> 15 approximately 16. The nearly axial EPR spectra having nitrogen hyperfine splittings (A approximately 26 G) at 77 K of 13(-)-16(-) with g approximately 2.0 established that the reduction process is largely centered around the nitrosyl function. Despite an appreciably high nu(NO), the complexes were found to be unusually stable even in the aqueous medium. They transformed slowly and only partially into the corresponding nitro derivatives in H(2)O (k approximately 10(-4) s(-1) and K = 0.4-3.8). The chloro (1-4), aqua (5-8), and nitro (9-12) derivatives displayed reasonably strong emissions near 700 nm at 77 K (phi = 10(-1)-10(-2)). The aqua derivative 7 was found to interact with the calf thymus and the circular form of p-Bluescript SK DNA.

Two Mn(II) complexes are isolated and X-ray characterized, namely, cis-[(L(2))Mn(II)(Cl)(2)] (1) and [(L(3))Mn(II)Cl(OH(2))](ClO(4)) (2(ClO(4))), where L(2) and L(3) are the well-known tetradentate N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine and N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)propane-1,3-diamine ligands, respectively. The crystal structure reveals that whereas the ligand L(2) is in the cis-alpha conformation in complex 1, the ligand L(3) is in the more unusual cis-beta conformation in 2. EPR spectra are recorded on frozen solutions for both complexes and are characteristic of Mn(II) species. Electrochemical behaviors are investigated on acetonitrile solution for both complexes and show that cation 2 exists as closely related Mn(II) species in equilibrium. For both complexes exhaustive bulk electrolyses of acetonitrile solution are performed at oxidative potential in various experimental conditions. In the presence of 2,6-lutidine and after elimination of chloride ligands, the formation of the di-mu-oxo mixed-valent complexes [(L(2))Mn(III)(mu-O)(2)Mn(IV)(L(2))](3+) (3a) and [(L(3))Mn(III)(mu-O)(2)Mn(IV)(L(3))](3+) (4) is confirmed by UV-vis and EPR spectroscopies and cyclic voltammetry. In addition crystals of 4(ClO(4))(3) were isolated, and the X-ray structure reveals the cis-alphaconformation of L(3). In the absence of 2,6-lutidine and without elimination of the exogenous chloride ions, the electrochemical oxidation of 1 leads to the formation of the mononuclear Mn(III) complex, namely, [(L(2))Mn(III)(Cl)(2)](+) (5), as confirmed by UV-vis as well as parallel mode EPR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. In the same conditions, the electrochemical oxidation of complex 2 is more intricate, and a thorough analysis of EPR spectra establishes the formation of the binuclear mono-mu-oxo mixed-valent [(L(3))ClMn(III)(mu-O)Mn(IV)Cl(L(3))](3+) (6) complexes. Electrochemical conversion of Mn(II) complexes into mixed-valent Mn(2)(III,IV) oxo-bridged complexes in the presence of 2,6-lutidine is discussed. The role of the chloride ligands as well as that of L(3) in the building of oxo bridges is discussed. Differences in behavior between L(2) and L(3) are commented on.

The reaction of Cu(ClO(4))(2).6H(2)O with the new tripodal ligand HNpy(2)pz (N-bis[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl][1H-pyrazol-3-yl)methyl]amine) in the presence of 1 equiv of triethylamine results in the formation of a doubly pyrazolato-bridged dicopper(II) complex, [Cu(Npy(2)pz)](2)(ClO(4))(2).2CH(3)CN (1). The crystal structure of 1 was determined by X-ray crystallography and was found to consist of two nearly identical discrete dinuclear molecules with bis(pyrazolato) bridges. The copper(II) ion has a trigonal bipyramid geometry achieved by the coordination of an aliphatic nitrogen, two pyridine moieties, and two pyrazolato nitrogens. Variable temperature-dependent magnetic data show that antiferromagnetic interactions operate in 1 as a result of the binding angle of the pyrazolato bridge. In solution, the stability of the dinuclear cation, [Cu(py(2)pz)](2)(2+), is highly dependent on the concentration, as indicated by ESI-MS, ligand field, cyclic voltammetry, EPR, and (1)H NMR studies.

Two new mixed ligand copper(II) complexes with diethylenetriamine, 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline have been synthesized. The crystal and molecular structures of [Cu(dien)(phen)](ClO(4))(2) and [Cu(dien)(bipy)](BF(4))(2) (dien=diethylenetriamine, phen=1,10-phenanthroline, bipy=2,2'-bipyridine) were determined by X-ray crystallography from single crystal data. These two complexes have similar structures. The EPR spectral data also suggest that these complexes have distorted square pyramidal geometry about copper(II). Anti-microbial and superoxide dismutase activities of these complexes have also been measured. They show the higher SOD activity than the corresponding simple Cu(II)-dien/Cu(II)-PMDT (PMDT=N,N,N',N',N''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) complexes because of a strong axial bond of one of the nitrogen atoms of the alpha-diimine. Both the complexes have been found to cleave plasmid DNA in the presence of co-reductants such as ascorbic acid and glutathione.
