Molecular structures of (5656)macrotetracyclic chelates in M(II) ion–ethanedithioamide–methanimine–hydrogen cyanide quaternary systems by DFT calculations

详细

The geometric parameters of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) (5656)macrotetracyclic complexes with the NNNN-coordination of the donor cites of the chelant, which can be formed upon template processes in M(II)–ethanedithioamide–methanimine–hydrogen cyanide quaternary systems, have been calculated using the density functional (DFT) hybrid method in the OPBE/TZVP approximation with the use of the Gaussian09 program package. It is shown that no one of the 5-membered chelate rings is planar, and these rings are not identical in the complexes studied. The 6-membered chelate rings are likewise not identical: one has a prominent noncoplanarity, and the other is almost planar. In all metal complexes, the nitrile nitrogen atom in one 6-membered ring noticeably departs from the plane of the ring, and in the other 6-membered ring, the respective nitrogen atom lies virtually in the plane of the ring.
