Abstract

A family of tripodal tetraamine ligands incorporating two pyrazolyl and one 1,2,3-triazolyl donor arm have been synthesized in modest-to-excellent yields (42–90 %) using the copper(i)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. Mono-, bis-, and tris-tripodal ligand scaffolds were readily generated using this method. The coordination chemistry of the ligands with cobalt(iii) ions has been studied, and cobalt(iii) carbonato complexes of the ligands have been isolated and characterized spectroscopically and crystallographically. X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy of the mono-metallic complexes showed that racemic mixtures of the cis-isomer are formed selectively. The di- and tri-metallic systems could not be crystallized, but NMR spectroscopy indicates that these compounds were isolated as mixtures of stereoisomers.

[14]  Due to its functional group tolerance, the CuAAC method is quite general. Using the same methodology, we have been able to synthesize the dimethylpyrazole analogue of 2a; see Supplementary Material.

[15]  This method gave complex 3b in very low yield (7 %), and thus we used an alternative route to synthesize the compound. Ligand 2b and cobalt(ii) perchlorate hexahydrate were combined in CH3CN, followed by addition of 30 % H2O2 and NaHCO3. Stirring overnight gave a red solution, which was worked up as described above, giving complex 3b in modest yield (42 %).

[17]     (a) The ligand 2c features a relatively rare inverse pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole bidentate (for examples see refs 17b–f) chelating site in addition to its tripodal pocket. Despite this, and perhaps predictably, complexation occurs in the tetradentate site. Preliminary efforts to coordinate a second metal ion to the empty bidentate site have been unsuccessful. Molecular modelling suggests that a steric clash between the carbonato ligand and the incoming metal ion may hinder the formation of these types of complexes.
