Abstract

The systems MII-ONC(CN)2 -L-MeOH-H2O [M = Ni, Cu, Co or Pd; L = pyrazole (pz)] were studied to determine conditions for the nucleophilic addition of MeOH to nitrosodicyanomethanide (ndcm) in the metal coordination sphere. Compounds containing two or three bidentate anionic chelate ligands derived from methyl-2-cyano-2-(hydroxyimino)ethanimidic acid, H(mcoe), formed by nucleophilic addition of MeOH to ONC(CN)2 , were isolated: [Cu(mcoe)2(H2O)2] (elongated pseudo-octahedron with two water molecules at long axial distances), [Co(mcoe)3] (approximate octahedron) and [Pd(mcoe)2] (square-planar). In the CoII system, oxidation to CoIII took place. In addition, simple nitrosodicyanomethanide compounds [Ni(ndcm)2(pz)4] (nearly octahedral) and [Pd(ndcm)2(pz)2] (square-planar) were obtained. The crystal structure of trans-[Ni(ndcm)2(pz)4] has been elucidated by X-ray crystallography. The NiII atom is nearly octahedrally coordinated by four nitrogens of pz and two oxygens of (ndcm). This compound is the first example of a transition metal oxygen-coordinated nitrosodicyanomethanide complex with a short metal-oxygen bond. The remaining compounds were characterized by i.r. and electronic spectra.
