Synthesis, properties and crystal structures of new binuclear lead(II) complexes based on phenyl, naphthyl-containing fluorine β-diketones and substituted 2,2′-bipyridines

Four lead(II) complexes with substituted 2,2′-bipyridine adducts and β-diketonates ligands, [Pb(5,5′-dm-2,2′-bpy)(tfpb)2]21, [Pb(4,4′-dmo-2,2′-bpy)(tfpb)2]22, [Pb(4,4′-dm-2,2′-bpy)(tfnb)2]23 and [Pb(5,5′-dm-2,2′-bpy)(tfnb)2]24, (“4,4′-dm-2,2′-bpy”, “5,5′-dm-2,2′-bpy”, “4,4′-dmo-2,2′-bpy”, “Htfpb” and “Htfnb” are the abbreviations of 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, 4,4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bipyridine, 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione and 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-naphthyl)-1,3-butanedione, respectively) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy and also studied by thermal and electrochemical as well as X-ray crystallography. The supramolecular features in these complexes are guided/controlled by weak directional intramolecular interactions.
