Ab Initio quantum chemical calculation of the structures of coordination compounds arising at template synthesis in ion M(II)-hydrozinomethane thiohydrazide-acetone (M = Co, Ni, Cu) systems

Abstract

Using a hybrid B3LYP density functional method with the 6-31G(d) basis set and the Gaussian-98 program, the geometrical parameters of macrocyclic complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with NNSS-coordination of donor centers of the chelate ligand, formed due to template processes in M(II)-hydrozinomethane thiohydrazide-acetone systems, are calculated. Coordinates of atoms, selected bond lengths and angles, and dihedral angles in complexes with MN₂S₂ metal-chelate site are given. It is noted that for all considered M(II) ions the additional six-membered metal cycle, formed because of template stitching, is turned at a considerable angle to two five-membered cycles, and this cycle itself is not planar either.
