Abstract
The conformations adopted by six-membered diamine chelate rings in complexes of the types [Co(NH3),L]3+, [Co(CN)4L]-, [Pt(bpy)L]2+, [Pt(NH3)2L]2+ and [CoL3]3+ have been studied by n.m.r. techniques. The ligands (L) used in the study were meso- and (+)-pentane-2,4-diamine, butane-1,3-diamine, propane-1,3-diamine and 2-methylpentane-2,4-diamine. It has been found that for most complexes of meso-pentane-2,4-diamineth e diequatorial chair conformation predominates, although for the bipyridineplatinum(II) complex it is unclear whether the skew-boat conformation is significantly populated or the chair structure is unusually distorted. For (+)-pentane-2,4-diamine chelates, which normally adopt the skew-boat conformation in octahedral complexes, the chair conformation with an axial and an equatorial methyl group has a mole fraction of 0.5 and 0.7 for the bipyridine- and diammine-platinum(II) complexes, respectively. In tetraammine(butane-1,3- diamine)cobalt(III) the chelate ring is in the chair conformation with the methyl equatorial.
