Abstract (EN):
This work constitutes a new contribution for understanding the relationship between the metal-ligand bonding and, indirectly, the inherent reactivity of metallic complexes with tetradentate N2O2 Schiff base ligands, being reported the energetic characterization of two transition metal complexes - (N,AT c -bis(salicylaldehydo)tetramethylenediiminate)nickel(II) and (N,N' -bis(salicylaldehydo)propylenediiminate)copper(II). The standard molar enthalpies of formation of these complexes were determined by solution-reaction calorimetry measurements. Their standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, were obtained by an effusion method. From these studies, the gas-phase enthalpies of formation of Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes, at T = 298.15 K, were derived. Differences between the metal-ligand and mean hydrogen-ligand bond dissociation enthalpies were derived and discussed in structural terms, in comparison with identical parameters for complexes of the same metals with analogous tetradentate Schiff bases. High-level quantum chemical calculations have also been conducted, complementing the results obtained experimentally.
