A nickel(II) thiolate complex incorporating three N-donor types (amino, amido, and imidazole) has been synthesized and characterized. The (N(3)S)Ni complex, [N-{2-[(2-mercapto-2-methylpropyl)amino]ethyl}-1-methylimidazole-2-carboxamido]nickel(II) (1), is stable in the presence of O(2) but readily forms the sulfinato (RSO(2)(-)) derivative 2 upon the addition of H(2)O(2). Electrochemical investigations of 1 reveal an irreversible sulfur-based oxidation at +0.17 V vs Fc(+)/Fc (200 mV/s) that shifts to +0.81 V upon oxidation to 2. Density functional theory investigations of 1 reveal a highest occupied molecular orbital that is predominantly sulfur-based, consistent with the observed sulfur-based oxidation and O(2) stability.
已合成并表征了一种包含三种 N-供体类型(氨基、酰胺基和咪唑基)的镍(II)硫醇配合物。(N(3)S)Ni 配合物,[N-{2-[(2-巯基-2-甲基丙基)氨基]乙基}-1-甲基咪唑-2-羧酰胺基]镍(II)(1),在存在 O(2)的情况下稳定,但在加入 H(2)O(2)时容易形成亚磺酸盐(RSO(2)(-))衍生物 2。对 1 的电化学研究表明,在 +0.17 V 相对于 Fc(+)/Fc(200 mV/s)处发生不可逆的基于硫的氧化,当氧化为 2 时,该氧化移至 +0.81 V。对 1 的密度泛函理论研究表明,最高占据分子轨道主要基于硫,与观察到的基于硫的氧化和 O(2)稳定性一致。
