Since Werner's pioneering work on optical activity in complex inorganic compounds, there have been many im­ portant developments in the field. One of the more in­ teresting of these is known as the "Pfeiffer effect" which is a change in the optical rotation of a solution of an optically active substance (e.g., ammonium d-α-bromo­ camphor-π-sulfonate) upon the addition of solutions of racemic mixtures of certain coordination compounds (e.g., D,L-[Zn(o-phen) ](NO ) , where o-phen = ortho-phenan­ throline). Not all combinations of complexes, optically active "environments," and solvents show the effect, how­ ever, and this work attempts to apply optical rotatory dis­ persion techniques to the problem, as well as to determine whether solvents other than water may be used without quenching the effect. Further, the question of whether systems containing metal ions, ligands, and optically active environments other than those already used will show the effect has been studied also. 3

C i n c e Werner's early paper (19, 20) on the optical activity he postulated and discovered i n coordination compounds, there have been several discoveries closely related to this work. One of these is the observation by Pfeiffer and Quehl (15) that the optical rotation of an aqueous solu­ tion containing an optically active substance (e.g., ammonium d-abromocamphor-7r-sulfonate, later referred to as the optically active "en­ vironment") may be changed b y adding solutions of racemic mixtures of certain coordination compounds (e.g., D,L-[Zn(o-phen) ](N0 )2, where o-phen = or^io-phenanthroline). This effect has been referred to as the "Pfeiffer effect" in honor of its discoverer (3, 4) who first observed it dur­ ing an attempted resolution of the racemic complex mentioned above (15). 3

Further studies of the effect were carried out by Pfeiffer and his co-workers (14,16), Brasted (5), Dwyer and co-workers (7), Kirschner (9), and others (10, 11). Table I shows the systems which exhibited the Pfeiffer effect. In this work the authors have attempted to expand the scope of the Pfeiffer effect to other systems and solvents and to determine unambigu­ ously the source of the effect. To this end they applied optical rotatory dispersion techniques as a tool i n their study.

Experimental A l l solutions were prepared from reagent grade chemicals and sol­ vents without further purification. Two of the new ligands which were tested for the Pfeiffer effect, 2-(2-pyridyl)-benzimidazoline and 2-(2pyridyl)-imidazoline, were prepared by the method of Walter and Freiser (18). The other ligand which had to be synthesized, (ethanediylidenetetrathio)tetraacetate ( E T T A ) , was prepared by the method of Longo et al. (12). Tris(ethylenediamine)nickel(II) chloride was prepared by the method of State (17). Bis (salicylidene) triethylenetetramine aluminum(III) iodide [A1(TS )]I was prepared by the method of Das Sarma and Bailar (6).

Elmer Photoelectric Polarimeter, Model 141. Optical rotatory dispersion measurements were made either with the Perkin-Elmer instrument equipped with a Bausch and Lomb High Intensity Grating Monochromator, or with a manual spectropolarimeter constructed by Kirschner and co-workers (1) at Wayne State University. This instrument has been modified by replacing the calcite polarizing and analyzing prisms with quartz prisms and changing light source to a 500-watt Hanovia Xenon Arc Lamp.

Discussion and Results The Pfeiffer Effect in Nonaqueous Solvents. ALCOHOLS. Because inner complexes are usually not soluble in water, and because the Pfeiffer effect has not yet been demonstrated to occur with an inner complex, the effect was studied in solvents other than water. One obvious choice is the lower alcohols because these solvents will dissolve most inner com­ plexes and are suitable for polarimetric studies. However, Landis (11) has reported that the Pfeiffer effect does not take place in methanol with tris(l,10-phenanthroline)zinc(II) ion and d-a-bromocamphor-T-sulfonate (BCS) as the optically active environment. He reports that the final solutions were cloudy; therefore, their optical rotatory properties would be difficult to study, and the question was still open. During the course of this work the authors were not able to observe the Pfeiffer effect in ethanolic solution. The optically active environments employed were d-camphor or 3-d-bromocamphor, and the complexes which

were used are listed in Table I I . The fact that the substances utilized for optically active environments are essentially nonionic may have been the reason for not observing the effect. Of course, it is possible that the effect does occur, but that the magnitude of the change in rotation is not large enough to be observed with the present instrumentation. A M I D E S A N D A C I D S . The authors also found that the Pfeiffer effect can be observed in both Af,iV-dimethylformamide and glacial acetic acid. Figures 1 and 2 show the effect of changing the solvent composition from pure water to either glacial acetic acid or iV,iV-dimethylformamide. These figures show that the magnitude of the effect is greatly reduced in both solvents compared with water and that the sign of the effect changes in the acetic acid-water system. Once these solvents had been established as suitable, they were applied to other systems besides the [Zn(o-phen) ](N03)2-BCS system. One of the ligands of interest is 2-(2-pyridyl)-benzimidazoline, and preliminary work showed that the ligand would not form stable aqueous solutions with zinc(II) ion. However, ligand and zinc nitrate were successfully dissolved in glacial acetic acid. Several solutions, each containing both zinc nitrate and ammonium d-bromocamphorsulfonate, were prepared and were treated with the following ligands (one to each solution): or/Ao-phenanthroline, 2,2 -dipyridyl, and 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazoline. The resulting solu­ tions were 0.01M. in zinc(II) ion and 0.03M. in ligand. Polarimetric measurements on the solutions both with and without the ligands showed that or£/io-phananthroline produced the largest Pfeiffer effect and 2,2'dipyridyl the smallest, with 2-(2-pyridyl)-benzimidazoline being between the two. 3

The Pfeiflfer Effect i n Aqueous Solution. During this work several additional systems which do not display the Pfeiffer effect i n water were observed. These systems are reported in Table I I . The ligands involved in these systems are: ethylenediamine, (ethanediylidenetetrathio)tetra­ acetate, bis(salicylidene)triethylenetetramine, and 2,2 ,2 -terpyridyl. Another ligand, 2-(2-pyridyl)-imidazoline, exhibited the Pfeiffer effect in water. The effect was observed with zinc (II) as the central metal ion and d-a-bromoeamphor-7r-sulfonate as the optically active environment. However, the effect was not observed for this ligand and nickel(II) in water, but the evidence for complex formation was not conclusive in this case. Because the Pfeiffer effect is exhibited by tris(l,10-phenanthroline)nickel(II) ion and d-a-bromocamphor-7r-sulfonate and, because the com­ plex has an absorption band i n the visible region, this system was studied using optical rotatory dispersion techniques. The study revealed that the optical rotatory dispersion curves showing Pfeiffer rotation vs. wave­ length were very similar to that of the resolved complex (Figures 3 and 4) (8). /

Calculations involving the molar rotation of the resolved complex and the observed Pfeiffer rotation showed that the equilibrium between the optical antipodes is shifted by only about two and one-half per cent (7). This indicates that the effect may not be observed in some cases where it would be expected because of very small changes in the optical rotations.

The Pfeiflfer Effect with Different Metal Ions. The Pfeiffer effect has been reported for complexes of zinc(II) and cadmium(II) (see Table I) but not for mercury(II). It was found during the course of this work that the effect also occurs with mercury(II). Solutions which were 0.005M in metal nitrate and 0.010M i n ammonium d-a-bromoeamphor-7r-sulfonate were studied for the Pfeiffer effect upon adding sufficient orZ/io-phenanthroline to make the solutions 0.015M in ligand. It was found that the Pfeiffer effect was largest with mercury(II) and smallest with zinc(II). Increasing the ligand :metal ratio to six increased the Pfeiffer effect with mercury(II) the most. The behavior is not unexpected when the stability constants of the three complexes are examined, log K = 5.20, 4.10, and 3.7 for Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II), respectively, with 1,10-phenanthroline (2). Table III shows the results of the experiments. F r o m this table and 3

Kuhajek (10) formu­ lated an equation for calculating the magnitude of the Pfeiffer effect. I n practice this equation is difficult to handle because some of the terms are difficult to define. In order to test Kuhajek's relationship, two series of solutions were examined for the magnitude of the Pfeiffer effect. These solutions were composed of zinc (II) nitrate, 1,10-phenanthroline, and ammonium d-abromocamphor-7r-sulfonate. The first of these series had the concentra­ tion of the optically active environment held constant, while the concen­ tration of the complex (i.e., the tris-(or^o-phenanthroline) zinc(II) ion) was varied. In the second series the concentration of the complex was held constant, while that of the environment was varied. A n experiment was

also performed using a series similar to the first one mentioned above, but using 2,2'-dipyridyl as the ligand. The results of these are shown in Table I V . It was found that the Pfeiffer rotation is nearly linear with regard to the concentration of either of two of the major constituents of the system (the complex or the environment) if the other is held constant. This linearity holds best at low concentrations of the solutes. Since the Pfeiffer rotation is linear with respect to the concentration of each of the major constituents, it follows that it would be linear with respect to the product of the concentrations of these constituents. Figure 6 shows a plot of the Pfeiffer rotation vs. the product of the molar concen­ tration of tris(l,10-phenanthroline)zinc(II) ion and the molar concentra­ tion of ammonium d-a-bromocamphor-7r-sulfonate. As can be seen, the deviation from linearity is very slight. It should be also noted that at that high end of the curve, the relationship between the concentration of the two constituents is not so favorable as at other parts of the curve. The linearity of this plot suggests that an equation of the type utilized for the calculation of molar rotation might apply to this phenomenon also. R e ­ writing the specific rotation equation in standard form results in the following: a = [a]-c-d

Variation of Pfeiffer effect with concentration

Source of the Pfeiflfer Effect. N o completely satisfactory explana­ tion has yet been set forth which accounts for all of the observations asso­ ciated with the Pfeiffer effect. Dwyer and co-workers (7) have proposed a "configurational a c t i v i t y " explanation which states that the dextro and levo enantiomers of optically active, labile complexes in solution are i n equilibrium (with K . = 1), but that in the presence of an optically active "environment" the equilibrium shifts in favor of one of the enantiomers, resulting in a change in optical rotation. However, this proposal does not account for the fact that the effect is observed for some labile complexes and not for others. In an interesting thesis, Nordquist (13) notes some correlation between the occurrence of the effect and hydrophobic bonding, but this proposal does not account for the effect appearing in nonaqueous solvents. It is of interest to note that the effect has so far been observed only on systems containing ligands which have unsaturated ring systems. eq
