Abstract
Crystal adducts of diethyldithiocarbamate complexes of zinc(II) and copper(II) with piperidine (Pip) were synthesized, and their solvated forms with the outer-sphere molecules of benzene, pyridine (Py), and morpholine (Mf) were obtained. Adducts with composition [M(Pip)(Edtc)2] · L (L = Py, Mf) were shown to be able, in principle, to give solvated isomers [M(L)(Edtc)2] · Pip with the Pip molecule arranged in the outer sphere. The composition, structure, and properties of the obtained adducts were studied by EPR, high-resolution solid-state 13C, 15N NMR spectroscopy. Solvation of all three adducts with Pip, Mf, and Py was found to result in a substantial increase in the contribution of the trigonal–bipyramidal component to the geometry of a copper coordination pentahedron. In addition, for adducts with Mf and Py, a structural unification of two isomeric forms was observed at the molecular level to yield a qualitatively new (rather than intermediate) state. It was shown that in all solvated forms of the copper(II) adducts, the metal polyhedron is mainly a trigonal bipyramid, while the square–pyramidal contribution is insignificant. Results of (13C, 15N) NMR studies revealed a structural inequivalence of the Edtc–ligands in the zinc adducts under investigation.
