Abstract
Structures of the main resonance and tautomeric forms of three Schiff bases of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (1OXA), 5-bromosalicylaldehyde (2OXA) and 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde (3OXA) with 1,8-diamine-3,6-dioxaoctane, before and after protonation and complexation of monovalent metal cations, have been studied by FTIR, 1H, 13C and 15N NMR methods. The spectroscopic investigations provided clear evidence that the Schiff bases exist in acetonitrile solution as three different tautomers: 1OXA in enamine-oxo, 2OXA in imine-hydroxy and 3OXA in a low-barrier O···H···N imine-oxo forms. It was found on the basis of multinuclear NMR studies, that in solid state, the enamine-oxo and imine-hydroxy tautomers are formed exclusively, but not the untypical imine-oxo tautomer, which requires strong stabilisation by solvent molecules in solution. MOG-PM6 calculations of the different tautomers allowed visualisation of their energetically the most favourable structures. Protonation of 1OXA–3OXA Schiff bases leads to formation of common forms, i.e. protonated imine-hydroxy structure, irrespectively of the structure of tautomer before protonation. In turn, coordination of monovalent metal cations implies common formation of zwitterionic forms within all studied ligands in solution. Application of FT-IR and NMR titrations in combination with ESI MS spectrometry revealed the nature and the structure of OXA complexes, whose formation is impeded by the intra- and intermolecular interactions. MOG-PM6 calculations allowed visualisation of Li+ and Na+ metal coordination sphere geometries within structure of all investigated complexes, stabilised by intermolecular interactions with solvent molecules.
