Abstract

A polydentate ligand comprising imidazole donor 1,3-bis[(4-methyl-5-imidazol-1-yl)ethylideneamino]propane (BIP) was synthesized, and the crystal structure of its Zn(II) complex [Zn(BIP)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ has been reported, in which the Zn(II) atom adopts a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with the equatorial positions occupied by four nitrogen atoms of BIP and the axial positions by two aqua molecules. The effect of hydrogen bonding of the aqua ligand on the coordination geometry is discussed.

Two new tripodal heptadentate ligands, tris{2-[2-(1-methyl)imidazolyl]methyliminoethyl}amine ((mim)₃tren) and tris{2-[2-(1-methyl)imidazolyl]methylaminoethyl}amine ((mim)₃htren), containing polyimidazole groups were synthesized. Three corresponding metal complexes [Fe(mim)₃tren](PF₆)₂ (1) [Mn(mim)₃tren](ClO₄)₂·MeCN (2) and [Mn(mim)₃htren](ClO₄)₂ (3) were prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The metal atoms in 1 and 2, being in distorted [MN₆] octahedra, are coordinated by the three imine nitrogen atoms and the three imidazole nitrogen atoms with M–N bond distances of 2.180(4)–2.260(4) and 2.268(3)–2.312(3) Å for 1 and 2, respectively. In 3, the Mn(II) atom is hepta-coordinated by seven nitrogen atoms from htren(mim)₃ to form a monocapped anti-trigonal prism with the Mn–N_imine, Mn–N_imine and Mn–N_tripodal bonds having lengths of 2.235(7), 2.369(6) and 2.507(10) Å, respectively. The reactivities of the complexes with superoxide have been investigated by UV–Vis and electrochemical methods, showing that a new species symbolized as a [Fe–O₂ⁿ⁻] or [Mn–O₂ⁿ⁻] adduct was formed and that these complexes are effective superoxide scavengers.
