- Description: Tridentate benzimidazole-based ligands, bis((1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)sulfide (BNSN) and bis((1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)amine (BNNN), along with dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid (DNNSA) as a synergist, were investigated as potential selective extractants for Ni2+ from base metals in a solvent extraction system using 2-octanol/Shellsol 2325 (8:2) as diluent and modifier. However, extraction studies show a lack of pH-metric separation of the later 3d metal ions with bis((1-octylbenzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)sulfide (BONSN) and bis((1- decylbenzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)amine (BDNNN) as extractants, but extractions occurred in the low pH range with an opportunity for back extraction. This investigation suggested that tridentate ligands (at least those of the nature investigated here) are not feasible extractants for separation of base metal ions due to their lack of stereochemical “tailor-making.”

- Description: The coordination behaviour of 4-aminoantipyrine (H2pap) and its Schiff base derivatives with the oxorhenium(V) and tricarbonyl rhenium(I) cores are reported. The reactions of trans-[ReOX3(PPh3)2] (X = Cl, Br) with H2pap were studied, and the complexes cis-[ReX2(pap)(H2pap)(PPh3)](ReO4) were isolated. The ligand pap is coordinated monodentately through the doubly deprotonated amino nitrogen as an imide, and H2pap acts as a neutral bidentate chelate, with coordination through the neutral amino nitrogen and the ketonic oxygen. The reactions of trans-[ReOBr3(PPh3)2] and cis-[ReO2I(PPh3)2] with -(2-aminobenzylideneamino)-1,2-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one (H2nap) and 4-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-1,2-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one (Hoap) are also reported. The complexes cis-[Re(nap)Br2(PPh3)]Br, [ReO(OEt)(Hnap)(PPh3)]I and [ReO(OMe)(oap)(PPh3)]I were isolated and structurally characterized. The reactions of the Schiff base derivatives 1,2-(diimino-4’-antipyrinyl)ethane (dae) and 2,6-bis(4-amino-1,2-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one)pyridine (bap) with [Re(CO)5X] (X = Br or Cl) produced fac-[Re(CO)3(dae)Cl] and fac-[Re(CO)3(bap)Br] respectively. A series of rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes containing bidentate derivatives of aniline was synthesized and structurally characterized. With 1,2-diaminobenzene (Hpda) the ‘2+1’ complex salt fac-[Re(CO)3(κ1-Hpda)(κ2-Hpda)]Br was isolated, but with 2-mercaptophenol (Hspo) the bridged dimer [Re2(CO)7(spo)2] was found. The neutral complex [Re(CO)3(ons)(Hno)] was isolated from the reaction of [Re(CO)5Br] with 2-[(2-methylthio)benzylideneimino]phenol (Hons; Hno = 2-aminophenol), with ons coordinated as a bidentate chelate with a free SCH3 group. In the complex [Re(CO)3(Htpn)Br] (Htpn = N-(2-(methylthio)benzylidene)benzene-1,2-diamine) the potentially tridentate ligand Htpn is coordinated via the methylthiol sulfur and imino nitrogen atoms only, with a free amino group. These rhenium(I) complexes, with the exception of [Re2(CO)7(spo)2], revealed broad emissions centred around 535 nm. The reactions of the rhenium(V) complex cis-[ReO2I(PPh3)2] with 2-aminothiophenol (H2atp), benzene-1,2-dithiol (H2tdt) and 2-hydroxybenzenethiol (H2otp) led to the formation of the rhenium(III) compounds [Re(Hatp)(ibsq)2].OPPh3, [Re(sbsq)3].OPPh3 and [Re(obsq)3].OPPh3 (ibsq = 2-iminothiobenzosemiquinonate, sbsq = 1,2-dithiobenzosemiquinonate, obsq = 2-hydroxothiobenzosemiquinonate) respectively. The complexes adopt a trigonal prismatic geometry around the rhenium centre with average twists angles between 3.20-26.10˚. The E1/2 values for the Re(III)/Re(IV) redox couple were found to be 0.022, 0.142 and 0.126 V for [Re(Hatp)(ibsq)2].OPPh3, [Re(sbsq)3].OPPh3 and [Re(obsq)3].OPPh3 respectively. The reactions of the benzoxazole ligands, 3-(benzoxazol-2-yl)pyridin-2-ol (Hbop) and 5-amino-2-(benzoxazol-2-yl)phenol (Habo) with a [ReO]3+ precursor led to the rhenium(III) complex, [ReCl2(bop)(PPh3)2], and the complex salt, [ReO(abo)I(PPh3)2]ReO4, respectively. A variety of benzothiazole and benzimidazole derivatives were reacted with [Re(CO)5Br]. In the case of bis(benzothiazol-2-ylethyl)sulfide (bts), the neutral complex fac-[Re(CO)3(bts)Br] was obtained. The dimeric complexes (μ-dbt)2[Re(CO)3]2 and (μ-mbt)2[Re(CO)3]2 were formed when 1,3-bis(benzothiazol-2-yl)thiourea (Hdbt) and 1-(benzothiazol-2-ylidene)-3-methylthiourea (Hmbt) were used as ligands. The reaction of 2,2’-(oxybis(methylene))bis(benzimidazole) (bmb) with [Re(CO)5Cl] resulted in the rhenium(I) complex salt fac-[Re(CO)3(bmb)]+, with the tri-μ-chlorohexacarbonyl dirhenate [Re2(CO)6Cl3]- as the counter anion. The neutral complex fac-[Re(CO)3(btp)Cl] was isolated from the reaction of the 2,9-bis(benzothiazol-2-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (btp) ligand and [Re(CO)5Cl]. The reactions of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with bis(benzimidazol-2-ylethyl)sulfide (btn) and 1-(benzothiazol-2-ylidene)-3-methylthiourea (Hmbt) led to the formation of the cationic compounds (μ-O)2[Re2O2(btn)2]I2 and [ReCl2(bte)(PPh3)2]Cl (bte = (benzothiazole-2-yl)-N-ethylidenemethanamine) respectively.
