Bonding Interactions in Uranyl α-Diimine Complexes: A Spectroscopic and Electrochemical Study of the Impacts of Ligand Electronics and Extended Conjugation
Abstract
Uranyl complexes of aryl-substituted α-diimine ligands gbha (UO2-1a-f and phen-BIAN (UO2-2a-f) (gbha (1) = glyoxal bis(2-hydroxyanil); phen-BIAN (2) = N,N'-bis-(iminophenol)acenaphthene; R = OMe (a), t-bu (b), H (c), Me (d), F (e), and naphthyl (f)) were designed, prepared, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis, and electrochemical methods. Furthermore these ligand frameworks contain a salen-type O-N-N-O binding pocket, but are redox-non-innocent, leading to unusual metal complex behaviors. Here, we describe three solid-state structures of uranyl complexes UO2-1b, UO2-1c, and UO2-1f, and observe manifestations of ligand non-innocence for the U(VI) complexes UO2-1b and UO2-1c. The impacts of accessible π-systems and ligand substitution on the axial uranium-oxo interactions can be evaluated spectroscopically via the intraligand charge-transfer (ILCT) processes that dominate the absorption spectra of these complexes and through changes to the asymmetric (ν3) O=U=O stretching frequency. This, in combination with electrochemical data, reveals the effects of the inclusion of the conjugated acenaphthene backbone and the importance of ligand electronic structure on uranyl’s bonding interactions.
