The syntheses of novel dimethylbis(2-pyridyl)borate nickel(II) complexes and are reported. These complexes were unambiguously characterized by X-ray analysis. In dichloromethane solvent, complex undergoes a unique square-planar to square-planar rotation around the nickel(II) center, for which activation parameters of Δ = 12.2(1) kcal mol and Δ = 0.8(5) eu were measured via NMR inversion recovery experiments. Complex was also observed to isomerize via a relatively slow ring flip: Δ = 15.0(2) kcal mol; and Δ = -4.2(7) eu. DFT studies support the experimentally measured rotation activation energy (cf. calculated Δ = 11.1 kcal mol) as well as the presence of a high-energy triplet intermediate (Δ = 8.8 kcal mol).
报道了新型二甲基双(2-吡啶基)硼酸镍(II)配合物的合成。通过X射线分析对这些配合物进行了明确表征。在二氯甲烷溶剂中,配合物围绕镍(II)中心经历独特的平面正方形到平面正方形的旋转,通过核磁共振反转恢复实验测量其活化参数为Δ = 12.2(1) kcal/mol和Δ = 0.8(5) eu。还观察到配合物通过相对较慢的环翻转进行异构化:Δ = 15.0(2) kcal/mol;Δ = -4.2(7) eu。密度泛函理论研究支持实验测量的旋转活化能(计算得到的Δ = 11.1 kcal/mol)以及高能三重态中间体的存在(Δ = 8.8 kcal/mol)。
