Summary
A series of complexes of formula {Ni(Me6[14]aneN4)X2| (Me6[14]aneN4) = C-meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,-8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane and X = N3 (1), NCO (2), NCS (3), AcO (4) or I (5) has been synthesized. The crystal structure of (5) has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The nickel atom is surrounded by a square-planar array of nitrogen atoms, giving a low-spin complex. The macrocyclic ligand shows the most stable conformation, the six-membered rings exhibiting the chair form while the gauche conformation is adopted by the five-membered rings. Spectroscopic and magnetic data for (1)–(4) are consistent with octahedral coordination around the nickel atom, which is achieved by four N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand in a single plane and by two azido-N (1), cyanato-N (2), thiocyanato-N (3) and carboxylato-O (4) groups occupying the axial positions. An electrochemical study of the oxidation of (1)–(5) has been carried out in nonaqueous solvents and the prospects of synthesis of the corresponding nickel(III) species are discussed in the light of the electrochemical data.
