A series of tripodal transition metal complexes with the condensation
product of 2,2',2''-triaminoethylamine (tren) and 2-pyridinecarboxalde
hyde N-oxide (pyo) as the ligand have been synthesized and spectroscop
ically characterized. The crystal structures of [Mn(pyo3tren)](PF6)2.C
2H5OH (1) and [CO(pyo3tren)](PF6)2.CH3CN (2) have been determined. Bot
h 1 and 2 crystallize in the cubic space group P2(1)3 with four formul
a units. Crystal data: 1, a = 15.220(2) angstrom, final R = 0.045; 2,
a = 15.069(2) angstrom, final R = 0.054. The X-my structures of 1 and
2 indicate both complex ions have a heptacoordinate metal center with
a coordination polyhedron of the monocapped trigonal antiprism owning
C3 symmetry. [Ni(pyopyoOHtren)](PF6)2.H2O (3) is a hexacoordinate trip
odal complex with three inequivalent arms, which had been confirmed by
X-ray diffraction. [Cu(pyotren)](PF6)2 (4), the possible hydrolysis p
roduct of [CU(pyo3tren)](PF6)2, is a pentacoordinate copper(II) comple
x with the configuration of a trigonal bipyramid.
