Displacement of chelate ligands from four-co-ordinate complexes. Part IV. Reactions of (3-azapentane-1,5-diamine)- and (3-methyl-3-azapentane-1,5-diamine)-chlorogold(III) complexes

Abstract

The kinetics of nucleophilic displacement of the chelate ligands 3-azapentane-1,5-diamine(3NH-pd) and 3-methyl-3-azapentane-1,5-diamine (3NMe-pd) from the complexes [AuCl(N–N–N)]Cl2(N–N–N = 3NH- or 3NMe-pd) have been studied in 5% water–methanol solution at 25 °C. Under the experimental conditions used for the kinetic runs the predominant species in solution are [AuCl2(HN–N–N)]2+ and [AuCl3(H2N–N–N)]2+ in which the polydentate ligand acts as bi- and uni-dentate. The observed rate equation in both cases is formally analogous to that found in displacement of NNNN′-tetraethylethylenediamine (teen) and NNNN′-tetramethylethylenediamine(tmen) from the complexes [AuCl2(N–N)][ClO4](N–N = teen or tmen) and is in accord with the mech-, [AuCl2(HN–N–N)]2+ [graphic omitted] [AuCl3(HN–N–N)]+ [graphic omitted] [AuCl3(H2N–N–N)]2+ [graphic omitted] [AuCl4]+[H3N–N–N]3+(i) anism in equation (i). From the kinetic data the values of K1K2 and k3′ have been determined, and the, [AuCl(N–N–N)]2+ [graphic omitted] [AuCl2(HN–N–N)]2+(ii) constant for equilibrium (ii) has been measured spectrophotometrically. The complex [AuCl(3NMe-pd)]2+ undergoes deprotonation of one of the two co-ordinated primary amine groups and the pKa values, determined in 0.5 mol dm–3 Na[ClO4] and in 0.5 mol dm–a NaCl, are reported.
