Potentiometric Studies of Some Bivalent Metal Ion Complexes of a New Ligand,o-(2-Thiazolylazo)-4-Ethylphenol

Abstract

The complexations of a new ligand, o-(2-thiazolylazo)-4-ethylphenol(TAEP) with Ca(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hq(II) and Pb(II) have been studied by potentiometric titrations, at 25.0 ± 0.2°C and an ionic strength of 0.1 in 30% v/v dioxane-water mixture. The dissociation constant and spectral data of TAEP and formation constants of the complexes containing various molar ratios of metal ion to ligand, are reported. It is observed that Ca(II) forms only an ML complex in any molar ratios, whereas other metal ions react in two steps forming ML and ML₂ complexes in a 1:3 molar ratio. In the case of 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios, Mn(II), Co(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) seemed to form bi- or poly-nuclear complexes because of slightly different formation curves from those of 1:3 molar ratio. The sequence of the first successive formation constant is Cu > Hg > Ni > Pb > Co > Zn > Cd > Mn > Ca, showing Mellor-Maley's order. Further correlation is shown between the formation constants and the second ionization potentials of the metals.     

Potentiometric Study of Tetracycline and Oxytetracycline with some Metal Ions of Biological Interest

Abstract

The stepwise metal-ligand stability constants of tetracycline and oxytetraoycline chelates with Mg(II), Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Zr(II) and Sn(II) have been determined using the Bjerrum-Calvin titration technique as employed by Irving and Rossotti. Protonation constant of the ligand and stability constants of the respective metal complexes have been determined at constant temperature (25°C) and ionic strength (0.1 M KCl). The general order of overall stability constant values have been found to be: Zr(IV) > Fe(III) > Co(II) > Zn(II) > Mg(II) > Mn(II) > Ni(II) > Sn(II) > Tn(II) > Cr(II). The rign values of the atability constanta are attricutel to the Ligands, which are stronger as an acid and weaser as a oase.     

Metal chelates of salicyl-4-aminoantipyrine

The formation constants of salicyl-4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazoline-5-one (SAAP) complexes with 3d transition metal ions [Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II)] have been determined in 60% ethanol-water medium ofμ = 0.1M (NaCl) at 25°C. It is observed that the formation constants for chelates with 3d transition metals follow the order Mn(II) < Co(II) < Ni(II) < Zn(II) < Cu(II). The effects of metal ions, ionic radii, electronegativities and ionization potentials on chelate formation constants are discussed. Complexes of UO₂(II) and Pd(II) have been synthesized and characterised by elemental analysis, electrolytic conductance, IR spectra and magnetic measurements. The ligand forms the complexes PdLCl and UO₂L₂,2H₂O, where L is a uninegatively charged tridentate ligand (ONO donor sets).     

Thermal and electrical studies of some polychelates

Polychelates of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) with 4,4′-dihydroxy-3,3′-diacetylbiphenyl-dithioxamide (DDBDO) have been prepared. Their structures were determined by visible reflectance spectroscopy and magnetic measurements in conjunction with thermogravimetric and IR measurements. Elemental analysis indicates a 1∶1 metal-ligand stoichiometry and the association of water molecules with the central metal. The decomposition temperature of the chelates is in the order Ni(II)>Fe(II)>Co(II)>Mn(II)>Cu(II). Thermal activation energies (E _a ), calculated with the help of Freeman-Carroll and Sharp-Wentworth methods, are in agreement with each other. The polychelates were found to be semiconductive, and the activation energy obtained from semiconducting behavior follows the order Co(II)>Ni(II)>Fe(II)>Cu(II)>Mn(II). The probable structure, such as six coordinated octahedral for Mn(II) and Fe(II) polychelates and four coordinated square planar for Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) polychelates, have been suggested.     

New complexes of some d-electron elements with 3-methyladipic acid

Conditions for the preparation of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) 3-methyladipates were investigated and their qualitative composition and magnetic moments were determined. The IR spectra and powder diffraction patterns of the complexes prepared of the general formula M(C₇H₁₀O₄)·nH₂O (n=0-11) were recorded and their thermal decomposition in air were studied. During heating the hydrated complexes are dehydrated in one (Co, Ni) or two steps (Mn, Zn) losing all crystallization water molecules (Co, Ni) or some water molecules (Mn, Zn) and then anhydrous (Co, Ni, Cu) or hydrated complexes (Mn, Zn) decompose directly to oxides (Mn, Co, Zn) or with intermediate formation the mixture of M+MO (Ni, Cu). The carboxylate groups are bidentate (Mn, Co, Ni, Cu) or monodentate (Zn). The complexes exist as polymers. The magnetic moments for the paramagnetic complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) attain values 5.48, 4.49, 2.84 and 1.45 B.M., respectively.

Spectral, magnetic, thermal, antimicrobial, and eukaryotic DNA studies on acetone [N-(3-hydroxy-2-naphthoyl)]hydrazone complexes

Abstract  

Acetone [N-(3-hydroxy-2-naphthoyl)] hydrazone (H₂AHNH) has been prepared and its structure confirmed by elemental analysis and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. It has been used to produce diverse complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and U(VI)O₂ ions. The complexes obtained have been investigated by thermal analysis, spectral studies (¹H NMR, IR, UV–visible, ESR), and magnetic measurements. IR spectra suggest that H₂AHNH acts as a bidentate ligand. The electronic spectra of the complexes and their magnetic moments provide information about geometries. The ESR spectra give evidence for the proposed structure and the bonding for some Cu(II) complexes. Thermal decomposition of the Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes afforded metal oxides as final products. Kinetic data were obtained for each stage of thermal degradation of some of the complexes using the Coats–Redfern method. The formation of complexes in solution was studied pH-metrically and the order of their stability constants (log K) was found to be U(VI)O₂ > Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Ni(II) > Cd(II) > Co(II). Antimicrobial and eukaryotic DNA studies were carried out.     

Ambidentate behavior of pentadentate <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide towards transition metal(II) salts

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, spectral (electronic, i.r., n.m.r. and e.p.r.), electrochemical and thermal studies. I.r. studies show that the ligand behaves in an ambidentate way. It coordinates through the pyridine nitrogen, two amide oxygens and two phenolic oxygens in the Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes, whereas in the Mn(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes it coordinates through the pyridine nitrogen, two uncharged amide nitrogens and two-phenolic oxygens under similar experimental conditions.

A thermoanalytical study of dipicolinic acid acting as a terdentate ligand in coordination compounds of divalent metal ions

The coordination compounds obtained by reaction of hot solutions of dipicolinic acid with the carbonates of the divalent metal ions manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) are studied using TG, DSC and HTRS techniques. For the thermal stability a sequence Mn > Fe > Zn > Co > Ni > Cu may be observed. This series is compared with the similar series obtained with isocinchomeronic acid. The thermal stability is, for each metal of the series, isocinchomeronic > dipicolinic. Thermal stability is discussed in terms of the intermolecular bonds, of the structures and of the stability constants of the complexes examined.

Spectroscopic and thermodynamic studies of complexation of some divalent metal ions with isatin-<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-thiosemicarbazone

Metal complexes of some divalent metal ions (Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg, and Pd) with isatin-β-thiosemicarbazone (ITS) as the Schiff base have been investigated potentiometrically and spectrophotometrically. The dissociation constants of the ligand and formation constants of the metal complexes, as well as the corresponding thermodynamic functions (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) have been determined at different temperatures in ethanol—water solution. The full stability constants were also evaluated spectrophotometrically by the Job method. The experimental results indicate that Cu(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), and Hg(II) form one-to-one molecular complexes (ML) with the studied ligand, whereas Co(II) and Ni(II) form both ML and ML₂ species.     

Spectral and Thermal Studies of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) Complexes with 3-methylglutaric Acid

Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) 3-methylglutarates were prepared as solids with general formula MC₆ H₈ O₄ ×n H₂ O, where n =0–8. Their solubilities in water at 293 K were determined (7.0×10⁻² −4.2×10⁻³ mol dm⁻³ ). The IR spectra were recorded and thermal decomposition in air was investigated. The IR spectra suggest that the carboxylate groups are mono- or bidentate. During heating the hydrated complexes lose some water molecules in one (Mn, Co, Ni, Cu) or two steps (Cd) and then mono- (Cu) or dihydrates (Mn, Co, Ni) decompose to oxides directly (Mn, Cu, Co) or with intermediate formation of free metals (Co, Ni). Anhydrous Zn(II) complex decomposes directly to the oxide ZnO. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Effect of the Nature of Crosslinking Agent on the Catalase‐Like Activity of Polystyrene‐Bound Glycine–Metal Complexes

Abstract

Catalase‐like activity of metal complexes of various crosslinked polystyrene‐supported glycines were carried out and correlated with the nature of crosslinking agent in the polymer support. Polystyrenes with 2 mol% divinyl benzene (DVB), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and 1,6‐hexanediol diacrylate (HDODA) crosslinking were used as polymer supports. Glycine functions were incorporated to the chloromethylpolystyrenes by polymer analogues reactions and complexed with Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) ions. The metal uptake varied in the order: Cu(II) > Cr(III) > Mn(II) > Co(II) > Fe(III) > Ni(II) > Zn(II), and extent of metal uptake by various crosslinked systems varied with the nature of crosslinking agent. The polymeric ligands and the metal complexes were characterized by various analytical techniques. The catalytic activities of these metal complexes were investigated towards the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and was found to decrease in the order: Co(II) > Cu(II) > Ni(II) > Cr(III) > Fe(III) > Mn(II) > Zn(II). With increasing rigidity of the crosslinking agent the catalytic activity also decreased.     

Spectral, magnetic and thermal investigations of some d-electron element 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoates

Conditions for the preparation of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoates were investigated and their quantitative composition and magnetic moments were determined. The IR spectra and powder diffraction patterns of the complexes prepared of general formula M(C₉H₉O₃)₂·nH₂O (n=2 for Mn, Co n=1 for Ni, Cu, n=0 for Zn, Cd) were prepared and their thermal decomposition in air was studied. Their solubility in water at 293 K is of the order 10^–2 (Mn)–10^–4 (Cu) mol dm^–3. IR spectra of the prepared 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoates suggest that carboxylate groups are bidentate bridging. The magnetic moments for the paramagnetic complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) attain values 5.50, 4.45, 3.16 and 1.79 B. M., respectively. During heating the hydrated complexes lose crystallization water molecules in one step and then the anhydrous complexes decompose directly to oxides MO and Mn3O4. Only Co(II) complex decomposes to Co₃O₄ with intermediate formation CoO.     

Synthesis of new ionic β-cyclodextrin polymers and characterization of their heavy metals retention

In this study, a new aqueous insoluble ionic β-cyclodextrin polymer (PYR), synthesized by reaction of β-cyclodextrin with pyromellitic anhydride [1], is characterized by IR spectroscopy, showing typical cyclodextrin and carboxylic absorptions. pH-metric titrations of the acidic functions with standard NaOH solutions followed by a refinement of protonation constants, with specific software for equilibrium in solution, have been performed. Through this approach, the pK _a values of the functional groups have been calculated. The complexation capabilities of PYR towards metal ions [Al(III), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), Cd(II), Pt(IV), Tl(I), and U(IV)] have been evaluated in aqueous solution (pH 3–5). The retention is mainly pH dependent and higher than 70% for Al(III), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), Cd(II) and U(IV). For Tl(I) and Pt(IV) the retention is about 60% and 40% respectively.
