Abstract

carboxylation coordination reactions copper crystallography ligands metallic soaps metals transition metals zinc compounds
Zwitterionic 3d metal carboxylates of Zn(ii), Cu(ii), Ni(ii) and Co(ii) have been isolated and structurally authenticated by X-ray crystallography. A series of 2-hydroxymethylpyridine-carboxylate ligands with different sizes and shapes demonstrate variable coordination modes with first row transition metals under different conditions, yielding a class of 17 complexes, predominantly zwitterions. The nature of the ligands permits the carboxylates to be un-coordinated, anionic and conjugated, thereby balancing the positive charges on the metal centers.
