A series of novel N,N,N-donor pyrazole based ligands of the type pypz R(n)py (R(n) = C6H4OCnH 2n+1, n = 1, 12-18) (1-5) bearing two pyridine substituents at the 1- and 3-positions and an alkyloxyphenyl group at the 5-position have been prepared and characterized. The X-ray structure of pypzR(1)py is presented. Coordination of those ligands to MCl2 fragments (M = Zn, Pd) gives rise to complexes of the type [MCl2(pypzR(n)py)] (M = Zn, Pd; R(n) = C6H4OCnH2n+1; n = 1, 12-18) (6-15) which were characterized and studied in the solid state and in solution. In these compounds the ligands were highly versatile as they were metal coordinated in a N,N-bidentate, N,N,N-tridentate fashion or N,N-bidentate fashion with an additional interaction via the third active nitrogen, this different behaviour depending on the metal fragment as well as on the state (solid or in solution) in which the complexes are. The X-ray structures of [ZnCl2(pypzR(1)py)] (6) and [PdCl2(pypz R(1)py)] (11) have also been determined showing distorted trigonal bipyramid and square-planar geometries at the zinc and palladium centres, respectively. In both cases the coordination environment has been confirmed by 13C-and 15N-NMR studies in solid state. In particular, two binuclear M-M stereoisomers "Z"- and "U"-shaped may be established for the Pd derivative. The 1H and 13C-NMR studies in CDCl3 solution of (6) and (11) indicate the presence of monomeric species which exhibit the same or different bidentate coordination of the ligand, respectively, than that observed in solid state. However, DMSO-d6 causes a total dissociation of the ligand in Zn derivatives, while for the related Pd complexes two monomeric linkage isomers (N2,N1′PdCl2 and N2,N1′′PdCl2) were detected.
