Abstract
The aqueous coordination behavior of two novel tripodal imine-phenol ligands, cis,cis-1,3,5-tris{(2-hydroxybenzilidene)aminomethyl}cyclohexane (TMACHSAL, L1) and cis,cis-1,3,5-tris{[(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene]aminomethyl}cyclohexane (Me3- TMACHSAL, L2) with Al3+ and Ga3+ has been investigated at an ionic strength of 0.1 mol⋅dm−3 KCl and 25±1 °C by potentiometric and spectrophotometric methods. Both ligands formed various monomeric metal complex species MLH3, MLH2, MLH, ML and MLH−1 with Ga(III); and MLH3, ML and MLH−1 with Al(III). The Ga(III) complexes showed higher thermodynamic stability than the Al(III) complexes. Semi-empirical PM6 calculations along with TDDFT/B3LYP/3-21G calculations have been performed to complement the experimental measurements. The calculated structure of the metal complexes predicted a distorted octahedral geometry where favorable ring-flipping from the equatorial conformation in uncomplexed ligands to the axial conformation was observed upon chelation.
