Bull. Inst. Chem. Res., Kyoto Univ., Vol. 53, No. 2, 1975 Comparison of Properties and Structure of Zinc Chelates of 8-Hydroxyquinoline, 8-Mercaptoquinoline, 8-Selenoquinoline and Eiichi SEKmo and Nobuo FUKi7I* Received March 25, 1975 The properties and the structure of zinchelates of 8-hydroxyquinoline, 8-mercaptoquinoline, and 8-selenoquinoline are compared and discussed on the basis of the results of thermogravimetric and thermal differential analysis, X-ray diffraction and ultraviolet and visible absorption Spectra in chloroform. It is concluded that 1 : 2 zinc chelates of 8HQ, 8MQ, and 8SeQ have the tetrahedral structure and that Zn-8HQ adducts the basic ligandsuch as water and pyridine molecules accompanying the change of the structure from tetrahedral to distored octahedral. Otherwise, Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ have no ability to form the adduct. It is interesting to know how to change the properties and the structure of the metal chelates when one donor atom of its ligand is replaced by another atom. 8-Mercaptoquinoline (abbrivated as 8MQ) and 8-selenoquinoline (8SeQ) are the ligands which the donor oxygen atom of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) is replaced by sulfur and selenium atoms respectively which belong to VIa group. In this paper, 8HQ, 8MQ, and 8SeQ are taken up as the ligands and the properties and the structures of zinc chelates of these three ligands are studied and compared. EXPERIMENTAL Reagents Sodium Salts of 8MQ and 8SeQ. The sodium salt of 8MQ anhydride was prepared by the method of Nakamura and Sekido.1) 8SeQ was synthesized by the modified method of Sekido, Fernando, and Freiser,2) and its sodium salt monohydrate was prepared by the method of Sekido and Fujiwara.3) 8HQ. The reagent grade 8HQ was crystallized,from absolute ethanol for three times. All reagents including buffer components were of analytical reagent grade. Formation of Zn-8HQ. 8HQ (3.0 g.) dissolved in ethanol (80 ml.) was slowly added with stirring to 0.1 M zinc nitrate solution (100 ml.) buffered with acetic acid and sodium acetate at room temperature. The formed precipitate was filtered and washed with hot water at 40 C for several times and dried in air on a filter paper. * rg-mga : Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Kobe University, Rokkodai, Nada, Kobe.

E. SEKIDO and N. FUKUI Formation of Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ. The sodium salt of 8MQ (1.3-1.5 g.) was dissolved in water (100 ml.) and the ph of the solution was adjusted to 2.1 with hydrochloric acid at room temperature under nitrogen gas. The formed precipitate was filtered and washed with water for several times and dried in air on a filter paper.. The reagent solution was made up fresh each time the precipitate was formed. Zn-8SeQ was prepared by the same method of Zn-8MQ. Apparatus and Measurements Thermogravimetric and Differential Thermal Analysis. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves and the differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves were recorded at the same time with a Rigaku TG-DTA unit. The powdered sample (10 mg.) was weighed out in a Pt-Rh dish and the temperature was raised on heating rate of 10 C/min. from room temperature to 800 C. a-alumina powder was used as the inert material for DTA measurement. X-ray Diffraction. X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained with a Rigaku X-ray diffractometer using nickel-filtered Cu K,, (A=1.54 A). Ultraviolet and Visible Absorption Spectra. The absorption spectra of the zinc chelates in chloroform solution were measured in the range of 300 to 450 nm with Hitachi- 124 spectrophotometer using 1 mm and 10 mm cells. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION TGA and DTA Curves of Zn-8HQ, Zn-8MQ, and Zn-8SeQ Chelates. The TGA and DTA curves of the air drying samples of Zn-8HQ, Zn-8MQ, and Zn- 8SeQ are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively. Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ are stable against heating in the range of room temperature to 200 C for Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ, but for Zn-8HQ, the weight loss of 9.2% corresponding to releasing of two molecules of water for Zn(C9H6ON)22H20 is observed in the range of 100 to 160 C on the TGA curve a in Fig. 1 and a endothermic peak corresponding to this weight loss is found on the DTA 100--- b, c \\--------------- 90 a 80 - a\\ c3 70 a 60 50b \: m40-30\.\ 3 --------- a 10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 Temperature ( c) Fig. 1.

Moreover, for Zn-8HQ, it is found that a weak exothermic peak accompanying no weight loss is found at 200 C. The TGA and DTA curves above 200 C for three compounds, especially for Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ, are similar. The endothermic peaks at 290 C for Zn-8SeQ, 295 C for Zn-8MQ and 365 C for Zn-8HQ correspond to the melting for these compounds. After melting these three compounds seem to lose the weight on the two steps as seen in Fig. 1. For Zn-8HQ and Zn-8SeQ, the first step can be regarded as the release of one ligand molecule or its fragment and second step can be done as the oxidative decomposition of 1 : 1 zinc chelate accompanied with a large exothermic peak. However, for Zn-8MQ, the weight loss percent on the first step, 55%, is very larger than those for Zn-8HQ and Zn-8SeQ. Probably, in the case of Zn-8MQ, the weight loss by the decomposition of 8,8'-diquinolyldisulfide which is formed by further decomposition of the residual 1 : 1 Zn-8MQ chelate will be included. It is interesting that there is a linear relationship between the melting points of three 3.6-0 3.4_Zn-8HQ 3.2-3.0- T I; O O 02.6_ $ w.4- $e Zn-8MQ 2 Zn-8SeQ 2.2-280 300 320--------------------------------------------------340 360 380 Temperature ( C) Fig. 3.

z ----------------------------------------- E. SEKIDO and N. Fuxui compounds and their electronegativities of the ligand atoms, oxygen, sulfur, and selenium, as shown in Fig. 3. The ionic bond character for Zn-O bond may be greater than that for Zn-S or Zn Se bond, and the zinc atom in the 1 : 2 chelate of Zn-8HQ will attract two molecules of water in aqueous solution and the dihydrate of 1 : 2 Zn-8HQ chelate which has the distorted octahedral structure4,5) will be precipitated. Accordingly, for the anhydride of Zn-8HQ which the two molecules of water were released on heating, the residual force will be served as the intermolecular force of Zn-8HQ molecule, although its structure changes to tetrahedral to hold energetically stable state. On the other hand, Zn-S and Zn-Se bonds may have more covalent bond character than for Zn-O bond and may have the ability to form the back donated ir-bond so that Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ form no adduct, that is, will hardly have ionic residual intermolecular force. Therefore, the melting point for Zn-8HQ may be higher than those for Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ. A weak exothermic peak at 200 C appeared for Zn-8HQ but not for Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ will be attributed to the rearrangement of the crystal lattice to the anhydride having the tetrahedral configurations) from the dihydrate having the distorted octahedral one. X-ray Diffraction for Zn-8HQ, Zn-8MQ, and Zn-8SeQ Chelates The X-ray diffraction patterns for Zn-8HQ air drying sample and its heated samples are shown in Fig, 4.

E. SEKIDO and N. Fuxin coincide to those calculated using the cell constants obtained from the results of X-ray crystalographic analysis of Zn(C9H6ON)22H20. When the dihydrate is heated to 160 C with the heating rate of 10 C/min., the pattern changes to the amorphous one (pattern b). On the heating at 200 C, new peaks appear, which indicates that the crystal of the anhydride begins to grow (pattern c). It is found that the peaks become stronger on heating at 200 C for two hours. The X-ray diffraction patterns for the air drying Zn- 8MQ as well as Zn-8SeQ are same as for those on heating at 130 C and 200 C for 2 hours. Zn-8MQ, Zn-8SeQ, and the anhydride of Zn-8HQ give the similar X-ray diffraction patterns, especially for Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ as shown in Fig. 5 a and b. The values of lattice spacing, a' for Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ and those intensities correspond as seen in Table I. The fact that the values of d for Zn-8SeQ are a little greater than for corresponding those for Zn-8MQ can be attributed to a little more bulky molecule of Zn- 8SeQ than that of Zn-8MQ because of the larger radius of selenium atom than that of sulfur atom. Ultraviolet and Visible Absorption Spectra for Zn-8HQ, Zn-8MQ, and Zn-8SeQ Chelates The low energy transition band appeared at 412 nm for Cu-8HQ chelate in chloroform has been assigned as 1La transition mixed with the charge transfer from copper to the ligand.7) The absorption spectra appeared in the range of 380 to 430 nm for Zn-8HQ in various organic solvents will be also assigned as 'La band mixed with a charge transfer as well as for Cu-8HQ chelate. As shown in Table II, the 1La band shifts to longer wavelengths in the order of Zn-8HQ<Zn-8MQ<Zn-8SeQ in each organic solvent, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, and chloroform. Absorption Spectra of Zn-8HQ, Zn-8MQ, and Zn-8SeQ Chelates in Chloroform Solution The absorption spectra of the anhydride of Zn-8HQ in the chloroform solutions are shown in Fig. 6. The 1La band of Zn-8HQ in the chloroform desiccated with phosphorous pentoxide locates at 375 nm but that in the chloroform desiccated with sodium sulfate anhydride shifts to longer wavelength, 380 nm, and their molar extinction coefficient becomes also large from 3.6 x 103 to 4.1 x 103. When small amounts of pyridine is contained in chloroform, the band shifts long wavelength (397 nm) and the molar extinction coefficient becomes also large (4.4 x 103). On the other hand, the 1La band for Zn-8MQ as well as for Zn-8SeQ is same in chloroform desiccated with either sodium Table II.

Moreover, 1La bands for Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ are similar to that for Zn-8HQ in the chloroform desiccated with phosphorous pentoxide. Even if small amounts of water or pyridine is contained in chloroform, Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ do not coordinate water or pyridine, therefore, the tetrahedral structure of these chelates will be maintained.

E. SEKIDO and N. Fuxur distorted octahedral structure. The solubility of the dihydrate of Zn-8HQ is so poor in both organic solvents and water that the dihydrate will be precipitated on standing for long time. Consequently, the band in chloroform desiccated with sodium sulfate anhydride may be ascribed by the distorted octahedral structure which coordinates two molecules of water above and below of zinc atom of 1 : 2 trans-planar Zn-8HQ molecule. Similarly, the band of Zn-8HQ in the chloroform containing pyridine will be ascribed to the Zn-8HQ chelate adducted with pyridine molecules which is stable in chloroform. CONCLUSIONS The results of TGA and DTA, X-ray diffraction and the absorption spectra in chloroform indicate that 8HQ, 8MQ, and 8SeQ having oxygen, sulfur, and selenium atoms as one of the donor atoms respectively, form the tetrahedral 1 : 2 chelate with zinc atom. Further, for Zn-8HQ, the zinc atom has the ability to adduct the basic ligands such as water and pyridine molecules and its structure varies distorted octahedral but Zn-8MQ and Zn-8SeQ chelates have no ability to form the adduct, so that their structures may be maintained to tetrahedral.
