Oxovanadium(V) and cobalt(III) complexes of dithiocarbazate-based Schiff base ligands: formation of a thiadiazole ring by vanadium-induced cyclization of the coordinated ligand.

S-Methyl 3-((2-hydroxyphenyl)methyl)dithiocarbazate (H(2)L(1)) and its bromo derivative (H(2)L(2)), which are traditionally biprotic tridentate (ONS) ligands, behave in an unprecedented manner when allowed to react with [VO(acac)(2)] under an oxidative environment in acetonitrile-water medium containing a catalytic amount of alkali metal ion. The products obtained are oxovanadium(V) compounds [VOL(L(cyclic))] (L = L(1), 1a, and L(2), 1b) that contain one molecule of ligand which undergoes metal-induced cyclization to form a thiadiazole ring. Compound 1a crystallizes in the triclinic space group P(-)1 with a = 9.1830(9) A, b = 9.4165(12) A, c = 12.700(2) A, alpha = 100.988(8)(o), beta = 100.195(7)(o), gamma = 78.774(8)(o), V = 1046.3(2) A(3), and Z = 2. With cobalt(III), however, the products [CoL(HL)].H(2)O (L = L(1), 2a, and L(2), 2b) have hydrogen-bonded dimeric structures with each ligand virtually carrying 1.5 units of negative charge as confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis of 2a. It also crystallizes in triclinic space group P(-)1 with a = 12.0842(8) A, b = 13.5251(9) A, c = 14.1960(10) A, alpha = 78.122(6)(o), beta = 73.888(6)(o), gamma = 78.255(6)(o), V = 2154.7(3) A(3), and Z = 4. In solution, 2a is a symmetric molecule as indicated by (1)H NMR, involving a characteristic hydrogen-bonded O-H-O broad feature in the downfield (at 14.5 ppm) connecting both monoprotonated (LH(-)) and deprotonated (L(2-)) forms of the ligand--a situation somewhat analogous to the classic H-F-H case as observed in bifluoride ion.[1]
