Triethylenetetraaminecobalt(III) A m i n o Acid Complexes ROBERT JOB Department of Chemistry, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Sources of dissymmetry in optically active metal complexes can be classified as: (a) inherent dissymmetry within the metal -donor atom coordination cluster, (b) configurational dissymmetry due to the chirality of the chelate system, (c) conformational dissymmetry due to the individual chelate ring conformations, and (d) vicinal dissymmetry due to asymmetric sites upon the ligands (1). For many complexes this set of contributions to the CD spectrum can be reduced to the configurational effect, the conformational effect and the vicinal effect (2,3). The most pragmatic approach to follow generally is to assume that the CD spectrum of a metal chelate complex is simply a summation of a vicinal effect and a configurational effect where the term vicinal effect retains its meaning as before and the other contributions are included in the configurational term (4,5,6,7). The independent systems/perturbation model, as carried to second order in perturbation theory in Schipper's AICD (associate-induced circular dichroism) theory, makes the following prediction (8). In the case of the complexes AB- B ... (a compos ite complex) and A'Β and A"B (substituent complexes) where A, A and A" is the same achiral chromophore and Β and B have the same configurational relationship to A in the composite complex as in their respective substituent complexes, the circular dichroism of AB- B ... is simply the summation of the CD's of A'B , A"B , etc. The purpose of this effort is to exhibit an achiral chromophore upon which exchange of chiral ligands induces negli gible perturbation in the configurational relationship of the chelating ligands, and thus to allow the utility of the predicted additivity to be demonstrated experimentally. The compounds studied are the substituted triethylenetetraaminecobalt(III) amino acid complexes depicted in Figure 1. Formally the A'B- chromophore will be the triethylenetetraaminecobalt(III) glycinato moiety (compounds 1 and 7, identified in Figure 1) (with an associated configurational effect) and the optically active (B ) chromophores will be represented by the various R substituents at the α-carbon of the chelated glycine i

Results The compounds were synthesized a t 45° from the d i c h l o r o t r i ethylenetetraamine moiety and the appropriate amino a c i d i n aqueous s o l u t i o n with pH maintained a t 7.0 ±0.1 by pH-stat ( 9 J . In the case where R = -CH o r -CH(CH ) > only Λ - 3 and Δ-βχ produces were formed (Figure 2 ) . The c i r c u l a r dichroism spectra were obtained on the p e r c h l o r a t e s a l t s d i s s o l v e d i n 1 M HC1. Typical spectra f o r an S-amino a c i d complex ( s u b s c r i p t S) and an R-amino a c i d complex ( s u b s c r i p t R) are shown i n Figure 3. A c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of these spectra i s t h a t they can be q u i t e p r e c i s e l y deconvoluted i n t o a minimal number of Gaussian compo nents as shown by the dotted l i n e s i n Figure 3. This f a c i l i t a t e s storage and manipulation of the experimental data. This deconvol u t i o n serves to emphasize the d i f f e r e n c e between CD spectra of R & S amino a c i d complexes. I t can be seen from Figure 3 t h a t two of the Gaussian peaks have changed sign upon going from an S-amino a c i d complex to an R-amino a c i d complex. One way to o b t a i n the v i c i n a l e f f e c t of an amino a c i d i s to prepare both the Δ and Λ - t e t r a a m i n e c o b a l t ( I I I ) complexes of the S-amino a c i d and average the CD s p e c t r a . One drawback to t h i s method i s t h a t a r e s o l u t i o n procedure i s g e n e r a l l y necessary i n order to o b t a i n the pure compound (10). Our p r e f e r r e d method i s to prepare o n l y Λ complexes of the R then S-amino a c i d i n separate r e a c t i o n s then p u r i f y by simple r e c r y s t a l 1 i z a t i o n . Then, s i n c e the v i c i n a l e f f e c t of an S-amino a c i d i s i d e n t i c a l l y the negative of t h a t f o r an R-amino a c i d , the v i c i n a l e f f e c t may then be computed by the simple a l g e b r a i c manipulations o u t l i n e d i n Figure 4. The v i c i n a l e f f e c t s c a l c u l a t e d i n t h i s manner f o r a l a n i n e , v a l i n e and phenylalanine are shown i n Figure 5. The data used f o r c a l c u l a t e these v i c i n a l e f f e c t s are taken from measurements on compounds prepared as i n l i t e r a t u r e sources (11) or from Table I. Compound 10 i s the ^ - a l a n i n e complex of the t e t r a a m i n e c o b a l t ( I I I ) moiety with R = CH . Since g l y c i n e does not have an enantiomer, the v i c i n a l e f f e c t f o r \ and £ i s zero. The CD of these two complexes (shown i n Figure 6) then by d e f i n i t i o n becomes the c o n f i g u r a t i o n a l e f f e c t to which the v i c i n a l e f f e c t s of Figure 5 should be added. In Figure 7 these a d d i t i o n s are made. The dotted l i n e s represent the sum o f the c o n f i g u r a t i o n a l and v i c i n a l e f f e c t s f o r S-amino a c i d complexes and the s o l i d l i n e s represent the experimental s p e c t r a . Figure 8 shows the r e s u l t s f o r the R-alanine and R-phenylalanine complexes.

In order to p r e d i c t the CD spectrum o f the Λ β product from the r e a c t i o n o f S - p r o l i n e as the amino a c i d i n Figure 2, the v i c i n a l e f f e c t i n Figure 11 f o r 3 S - p r o l i n e was determined (from measurements i n our l a b o r a t o r y upon complex 9, which had been p r e v i o u s l y synthesized (1J_) and c h a r a c t e r i z e d by X-ray d i f f r a c t i o n (14,1_5)) and added to the CD o f the g l y c i n e complex ^ to o b t a i n the CD spectrum shown i n the top h a l f o f Figure 12. This compares q u i t e f a v o r a b l y with the CD o f the p r i n c i p a l product (65%) o f the r e a c t i o n (bottom h a l f o f Figure 12).

Conclusion Although a d d i t i v i t y i n a t e t r a a m i n e c o b a l t ( I I I ) amino a c i d complexes has been p r e v i o u s l y demonstrated (6^1j6), the c u r r e n t work has demonstrated a high a d d i t i v i t y i n a c a r e f u l l y chosen system. However, treatment o f these r e s u l t s has not taken i n t o account the charge t r a n s f e r bands which, being o f proper symmetry, must have some n o n t r i v i a l e f f e c t on the d-d^ t r a n s i t i o n s .
