Synthesis and reactivity of metal-containing monomers47. Synthesis and structure of salts of unsaturated dicarboxylic acids

Acid and neutral CoII, CuII, NiII, ZnII, FeII, and FeIII maleates, fumarates, and itaconates were obtained and characterized. The methods for their synthesis were optimized, and the valence state and coordination of metals were studied. CoII and FeII hydrogen maleates, CoII maleate, and CoII fumarate were examined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The ligands based on unsaturated dicarboxylic acids can be mono-, bi-, and tetradentate, which results in the formation of acid salts, chain and three-dimensional coordination polymers, whose double bond is not involved in the coordination. The strong antiferromagnetic exchange (μelf=1.41 and 0.34 μB at 290 and 80 K, respectively) was detected in CuII itaconate. Based on the data of Mössbauer spectroscopy, the partial reduction of FeIII to FeII during the synthesis of FeIII maleate was shown to occur: δFe=0.43 and 1.27 mm s−1, ΔEQ=0.57 and 3.13 mm s−1 and Γ=0.37 and 0.28 mm s−1 atT=298 K for FeIII and FeII, respectively.
