Abstract

(1,3) bis (2-hydroxybenzamido)propane (H2L) forms mononuclear iron(III) complex, Fe(HL)(OH2)22+. The kinetics and mechanism of its formation has been investigated at 25.0 ≤ t/°C ≤ 40.0 (I = 0.3 mol dm−3, 10% (v/v) MeOH + H2O). For the reaction, Fe(OH2)5(OH)2+ + H2L Fe(HL)(OH2)22+, k2 (25°C) = (2.14 ± 0.15) × 103 dm3 mol-1 s-1, ΔH = 39.7 ± 1.3 kJ mol-1, ΔS=-48 ± 4 J K-1 mol-1; k-2 (25°C) = 0.168 ± 0.0014 s-1, ΔH = 76.0 ± 1.5 kJ mol-1, ΔS =-4 ± 5 J K-1 mol-1 where k2 and k-2 denote the forward and reverse rate constants respectively. Fe(HL) (OH2)22+ is a moderate acid (pK = 2.25 ± 0.05, 25.0°C, 1 = 0.5 mol dm-3, 20% (v/v) MeOH + H2O). ΔpK (HL--Fe(HL)2+) = 8 is in conformity with the fact that both the phenolic groups are coordinated to iron(III). The metal ion promoted ionisation of the amide function also points to the N-coordination of this tetradentate ligand in Fe(HL)2+/FeL+. The high value of the stability constant of FeL+ (ca log Kstab ≈ 18), which is further enhanced by the amide deprotonation, is favourable for this ligand to be an efficient iron(III) sequestering agent. Fe(L) (OH2)2+ undergoes facile aqua ligand substitution forming Fe(L)(X)(OH2)(n-1)-(Xn- = N3-, NCS-, imidazole, SO32-); with ascorbate anion (HAsc-) replacement of both H2O occurs leading to Fe(L)(HAsc)/Fe(L)(Asc)- in which HAsc-/Asc2- is chelated (ΔpK(HAsc--Fe(L)(HAsc)) = 6). No significant labilising action of the coordinated amide (even after N-H deprotonation) and phenoxide/phenol functions is evident. Fe(L)(SO3)-, Fe(L)(HAsc)/Fe(L)(Asc)- undergo facile internal redox despite the stabilising action of the multidentate ligand.
