S-Functionalization of 3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,6-thiatriazine: probing the effect of alkyl chain length in the development of tethered materials

The preference of S-alkyl-thiatriazines towards intra vs. intermolecular addition is dependent on alkyl chain length, as demonstrated experimentally and computationally.

Boratriazines: inducing luminescence through boron incorporation into a terpy-type framework

The synthesis and physicochemical properties of pyridyl and pyrimidyl functionalized 1,3,5,2-triazaborinines are reported, along with the Lewis acid–base adduct pyrimidine-2-carboximidamide trifluoroborane, which forms as a side product in the reaction with the pyrimidyl substituents.

Halide Influence on Molecular and Supramolecular Arrangements of Iron Complexes with a 3,5-Bis(2-Pyridyl)-1,2,4,6-Thiatriazine Ligand

A series of iron centered complexes, namely, [Fe(Py2TTA)Cl2] (1), [Fe(Py2TTA)Br2] (2), and [Fe(μ-F)(Py2TTAO)F]∞ (3), were isolated via complexation of 3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,6-thiatriazine (Py2TTAH) with various ferric halides (e.g., FeF3, FeCl3, and FeBr3). Comparison of the optical and electrochemical spectroscopy, structural analysis, and magnetic studies reveal numerous similarities between the chlorido (1) and bromido (2) derivatives, which crystallize as discrete five-coordinate iron centered complexes with coordination geometries that are intermediate between trigonal bipyramidal and square base pyramid. Conversely, the fluorido derivative (3) results in a completely different structure due to oxidation of the ligand and the formation of a one-dimensional coordination polymer held together through a bridging fluoride ion. Consequently, the spectroscopic and magnetic behavior of 3 differs significantly compared with 1 and 2. Complexes 1 and 2 exhibit paramagnetic properties typical for a mononuclear S = 5/2 system with weak intermolecular antiferromagnetic interactions at low temperatures, whereas complex 3 demonstrates significant exchange couplings within the chain and weak antiferromagnetic interchain interactions, which stabilize a canted antiferromagnetic state below 4.2 K.

S-Alkyl-1,2,4,6-thiatriazines, which can be preparedviatwo pathways, are described. The regioselectivity and photophysical properties are rationalized through computational studies.

Connecting mononuclear dysprosium single-molecule magnets to form dinuclear complexes via in situ ligand oxidation

A Dy₂ complex, exhibiting SMM behaviour, and its Y analogue were prepared via in situ oxidation of Py₂TTA, a pincer type ligand, followed by dimerisation.

Ambivalent binding between a radical-based pincer ligand and iron

An inherently redox active pincer-type ligand, 3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,6-thiatriazinyl (Py2TTA˙), was employed to isolate Fe(Py2TTA)Cl2.

Intramolecular N-coordination in ketiminoboranes

Ketiminoboranes, R₂CNB-R′₂, pioneered by Wade et al., are formally isoelectronic with allenes but undergo intramolecular cyclisation when R = 2-pyridyl to form heterocyclic boranes with N-donor capability.
