Abstract

:
This paper reports the syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of Mn(III) hexadentate Schiff base complexes [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]NO3 (1) and [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]ClO4 (2), where (4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)2− (4,4′-((1E,13E)-2,6,9,13-tetraazatetradeca-1,13-diene-1,14-diyl)bis(3-methoxyphenol) is a new hydroxyl-substituted hexadentate Schiff base ligand. The introduction of the (4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)2− ligand induces more hydrogen bonding interactions, in addition to promoting the formation of intermolecular interactions among the cations. However, the close-packing structures of both complexes lead to their stabilization in the high-spin state in the temperature range of 2−300 K.

1. Introduction

Spin crossover (SCO), which is a hot topic in modern materials science [1,2,3,4,5,6], occurs in octahedral transition metal complexes with electron configurations of 3d4−3d7. The phenomenon between a low-spin (LS) and a high-spin (HS) state may be triggered by the use of external stimuli, such as light, heat, magnetic field, and pressure [7,8,9,10,11].
Schiff bases are used widely because they are readily derivatized and generally easy to prepare. As versatile ligands, they can stabilize a wide range of geometries and oxidation states in transition metal complexes. This great diversity may permit the design of Schiff bases with a suitable ligand field strength to obtain Mn(III) SCO complexes. Notably, the first SCO d4 system [Mn(pyrol)3tren] with a hexadentate N6 Schiff base ligand was designed in 1981 by Sinn and Sim [12], breaking the conventional wisdom that it was too difficult to generate an amenable ligand-field strength to stabilize an LS state in Mn(III) complexes. Later, the prototypic gradual SCO phenomenon of a Mn(III) hexadentate N4O2 Schiff base complex was reported in 2006 by Morgan et al. [13] Subsequently, another ligand system, a tridentate Schiff base N2O ligand provided the third example of Mn(III) SCO compounds [14].
Mn(III) hexadentate Schiff base compounds with N4O2 donor sets are extensively studied [13,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30] from various aspects such as ligand substitution [31], the nature of counter anions [32,33,34], and the cocrystallized solvent molecules [35,36,37,38]. The chemical influences affect intermolecular interactions like crystal packing and hydrogen bonding, which offer more possibilities for cooperative SCO behaviors. In previous reports, we reported a series of Mn(III) hexadentate Schiff base compounds [Mn(sal-N-1,5,8,12)]Y (Y = Cl−, PF6−, AsF6−, SbF6−, and NO3−) [25] to confirm that the counter anion effects are clearly related to the SCO behavior. Moreover, cocrystallized solvent molecules affect the SCO profoundly. For instance, the complexes [Mn(3,5-diBr-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]ClO4·C2H5OH and [Mn(3,5-diBr-sal-N-1,5,8,12)] ClO4·0.5CH3CN show different SCO behaviors [19]. The ethanol solvate has a more complete SCO while the latter persists in the LS state over a considerable temperature range. Besides, the analysis of Mn(III) complexes with various hexadentate Schiff base ligands, such as (3-OMe-sal-N-1,5,8,12)2− [22], (5-OMe-sal-N-1,5,8,12)2− [24,30], (5-Br-sal-N-1,5,8,12)2− [18] and (naphth-sal-N-1,5,8,12)2− [29], has emphasized the impact of the substituent effects.
In addition, the report on the 4-position of salicylaldehyde of hexadentate Schiff base ligands is rare; however, a series of Mn(III) SCO compounds [Mn(4-R-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]Y (R = OC6H13, OC12H25, OC18H37) with gradual and uncompleted SCO behavior were reported by Albrecht and his co-workers [16]. Under this circumstance, we study to obtain complexes that can provide strong cooperation interactions and more complete SCO behaviors. Therefore, the complexes [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]Y (Y = NO3− and ClO4−) (Scheme 1) were selected with the following main goals: increase the number of hydrogen bonds through the hydroxyl group, in order to strengthen the connection between anions and cations and improve the cooperativity of the system.
Herein, we report the synthesis, X-ray crystal structures, and magnetic properties of two isostructural compounds with the general formula [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]Y (Y = NO3− and ClO4−). Correlations between properties and structures are discussed with respect to the alteration of the geometry and hydrogen-bonding acceptor of the anions.

2. Experimental Section

All of the reagents and chemicals were analytically pure, purchased from commercial sources, and were used without further purification. Although we experienced no problems with the compounds reported in this work, the manganese perchlorate salt with the organic ligand is potentially explosive and should be handled with great care and used in small amounts. Elemental analyses of C, H, and N were performed on a Vario EL III elemental analyzer. IR spectra of the solid samples (KBr tablets) in the range 400−4000 cm−1 were recorded by an FT-IR Perkin Elmer spectrometer. The properties of the Hirshfeld surface for complexes 1 and 2 were generated using a CrystalExplorer 17.5. The Hirshfeld surface was generated using a high resolution and mapped with the dnorm and shape-indexed functions. 2D fingerprint plots were prepared using the same software. Magnetic susceptibility was measured in a sweep mode upon cooling from 300 to 2 K under a 0.1 T applied magnetic field by the use of a Quantum Design MPMS SQUID VSM magnetometer. A freshly prepared crystalline sample was placed in a gelatin capsule holder. Magnetic data were calibrated with the sample holder and diamagnetic corrections were estimated from Pascal’s constants. Magnetic behavior was primarily analyzed by using variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements.
[Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]NO3 (1) 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (31.4 mg, 0.228 mmol) and N,N-bis(3-aminopropyl)ethylenediamine (21.4 mg, 0.114 mmol) dissolved in methanol (6 mL), and then solid manganese(II) nitrate tetrahydrate (33.4 mg, 0.114 mmol) was added. The resulting dark brown solution was stirred for half an hour and then filtered. Black crystals formed upon evaporation of the solvent (56.9%).

3. Results and Discussion

3.1. Crystallographic Studies

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for the compounds [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]NO3 (1) and [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]ClO4 (2) were collected at 100 and 298 K, respectively. Table 1 presents the most relevant parameters for single-crystal determination.
At both temperatures (100 and 298 K), the two isomorphic complexes crystallized in the triclinic P 1 ¯ space group. The asymmetric unit of 1 contained one [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]+ cation and one NO3− counter anion (Figure 1), while one [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]+ cation and one ClO4− anion were observed in the structure of 2 (Figure 2). In these compounds, the Mn3+ ion was coordinated pseudo-octahedrally by trans-O (O1 and O2) donors in the axial position and pairs of cis-imine (N1 and N4) and cis-amine (N2 and N3) in the equatorial plane. The Mn-Nimine (N1 and N4) (2.075–2.135 Å), Mn-Namine (N2 and N3) (2.233–2.291 Å), and Mn-O (1.864–1.880 Å) bond lengths at 100 K were in greatagreement with those observed in other HS Mn(III) hexadentate Schiff base complexes. Moreover, the bond lengths of the complexes at 298 K had no significant change compared with those at 100 K (Table 2).
The octahedral distortion parameters Σ and θ can intuitively reflect the changes of the Mn(III) coordination sphere. For complex 1, θ was from 292.38° at 100 K to 291.98° at 298 K, while the change in Σ was small, with values of 79.59° and 79.41°, respectively. Both parameters, with a little change, further demonstrate that there was no SCO behavior in complex 1. The central Mn3+ ion of compound 2, which is similar to complex 1, was furnishing a distorted octahedral geometry (θ = 289.93° and Σ = 77.66° at 100 K; θ = 294.06° and Σ = 78.90° at 298 K).
In Figure 3, a pair of [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]+ cations form a centrosymmetric dimer through the N–H···O hydrogen bonds between the amino nitrogen atoms and peripheral hydroxy oxygen atoms. Moreover, weak edge-to-edge π···π contacts exist between the two sets of C(1)–C(2) atoms (Figure 4), and stabilize the dimer structure.
The anions connected cationic dimers located in chains via the O–H···O hydrogen bonds (Figure 3). The supramolecular chains were relatively independent and extended infinitely in the bc-plane. With the increase of the temperature, there was no significant change in the strength of the hydrogen bonds (Table 3). The intrachain Mn-Mn separation was 8.337 Å at 100 K and 8.349 Å at 298 K. However, the formation of dimers resulted in the short interchain Mn···Mn distance, which was 6.709 Å at 100 K and 6.749 Å at 298 K, respectively. The close Mn–Mn distance gave the [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]+ cation less space to change the coordination geometry.
As for complex 2, increasing the size of the anion from planar NO3− to tetrahedral ClO4− resulted in more intricate interconnections, but there was no change in crystal packing. Moreover, the formations of supramolecular dimers indicate the close contacts between the [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]+ cations. The existence of O(2)–H(2)···O(7), O(7)–H(27)···O(3) and O(6)–H(27)···O(3) hydrogen bonds contributed to the close stacking between the anions and cations, which hindered the flexibility of the whole ligand and prevented the distortion of the Mn(III) coordination geometry (Figure 5). In addition, the interchain Mn-Mn separation changed from 6.841 at 298 K to 6.740 Å at 100 K because of its bigger anion size. However, this did not give the Mn(III) cation enough space to change its conformation to meet the structural requirements of SCO.

3.2. Hirshfeld Surface Analysis

To gain deeper insight into the supramolecular contacts in 1 and 2, we undertook Hirshfeld surface analysis using CrystalExplorer 17.5. The Hirshfeld surfaces for the cations of complexes 1 and 2 were mapped with the dnorm function [39,40], which shows several red spots. For 1, the four strongest red spots were due to N–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonding interactions, and the weak red spots were due to C–H···O interactions (Figure 6a). The hydrogen bond was one of the major interactions here, contributing to 17% of all interactions in Figure 6c.
For complex 2, owing to the change in anions, the hydrogen bond contributed to 24.8% of all interactions (Figure 6d). This supports the discussion above and suggests that the OH group in the (4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)2− ligand is critical in linking the [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]+ cations together in these structures.
In order to more intuitively study the influence of hydroxyl on the hydrogen bond interaction, we introduced Hirshfeld surface analysis on the complex [Mn(4-OC6H13-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]NO3·H2O [16] (Figure 7). Though it crystallizes as an H2O solvate, the hydrogen bond contributed to only 9.6% of all interactions. All in all, the OH group played a significant role in non-covalent interactions.
From the Hirshfeld analysis, it was very clear that the hydroxyl group effectively enhanced the hydrogen bonding interactions in both complexes. However, these non-covalent intermolecular forces were insufficient to result in a cooperative SCO. The cation structures were tightly packed, hindering the distortion required to undergo SCO.

3.3. Magnetic Characterization

The temperature dependence of the product χMT (χM is the molar paramagnetic susceptibility) versus T plots for the crystalline samples of complexes 1 and 2 is shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9, respectively.
At room temperature, the χMT value of 1 was about 2.79 cm3 K mol−1, which is typical of an HS Mn3+ center (S = 2) with a g value of 2.0 (Figure 7). As the temperature went down, the χMT value was constant until 20 K, when it decreased rapidly because of the ZFS (zero field split) effects of HS Mn3+ ions. However, within the temperature range, the χMT value did not drop to 1.0 cm3 K mol−1. The temperature dependence of the χM−1 of complex 1 is shown in Figure 7. It is linear between 2 and 300 K and a linear least-squares fit yields a Curie constant of 2.84 emu K mol−1, a Weiss temperature θ of −1.67 K, while the Curie constant and θ value of compound 2 was 2.95 emu K mol−1 and −1.51 K (Figure 8).
The magnetic characterization of [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]ClO4 was similar to that of complex 1, and increasing the size of the anion from NO3− from ClO4− seems to have had no effect on the magnetic behavior.

4. Conclusions

In an effort to synthesize new Mn(III) SCO complexes, we have described two new isomorphic [Mn(4-OH-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]Y (Y = NO3− and ClO4−) complexes. The crystal structure of these compounds is rich in non-covalent contacts (hydrogen bonding and π···π interactions) between the mononuclear cations and anions. Whereas, compared with other Mn(III) hexadentate Schiff base SCO complexes, such as [Mn(5-OMe-sal-N-1,5,8,12)]Cl and [Mn(sal-N-1,5,8,12)]NO3, the introduction of hydroxyl groups makes the Mn(III) cations dimerized and weakens the interactions between anions and cations. Besides, the Mn···Mn separations are short and the connections between Mn3+ centers are extremely close. They may limit the Mn3+ cations to change their coordination geometry.
