AN UNUSUAL RUTHENIUM(II) COMPLEX OF 2-(2-PYRIDYL)BENZOTHIAZOLE

Abstract

The ligand 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (L) can act both as an N-N and an N-S chelating donor. The latter coordination mode is expected to be preferred when it is involved in coordination to Ru(II) which is a soft acceptor centre However, in the title compound, chlorobis(acetonitrile)triphenylphosphino-2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole-N,N-ruthenium(II) chlride, [Ru(L)(PPh₃(CH₃CN)₂Cl]Cl, the ligand acts in N,N-bidentate manner and the Ru(II) ion is found to be present in an N₄PCl coordination environment. PPh₃ and Cl are trans to each other and the two CH₃CN ligands occupy cis positions facing the NN donor atoms of ligand L.     

Zum Einfluß der Ringgröße auf die Struktur von Metallchelaten dreizähliger Liganden. I. Kupfer(II)- und Zink(II)-Chelate des Bis[ß-(pyridyl-2)-äthyl]-amins und des [ß-(Pyridyl-2)-äthyl]-[(pyridyl-2)-methyl]-amins

The Influence of Ring Size on the Structure of Metal Chelates with Tridentate Ligands. I. Copper(II) and Zinc(II) Chelates of Bis[β-(pyridyl-2)ethyl]amine and [β-(Pyridyl-2)-ethyl] [(pyridyl-2)methyl]amine The tridentate ligands 2.3-py₂tri and 3.3-py₂tri form 1,1-complexes with copper(II) salts, having the coordination numbers 5 or 6. The less bulky ligand 2,3-py₂tri is also tridentate in the 1,1-complexes of zinc. But 3,3-py₂tri in combination with polarisable anions like chloride, bromide, or iodide induces a tetrahedral structure in complexes of this type. One of the pyridine donor atoms remains non-coordinated. Using 2,3-py₂tri in excess, 1,2-complexes may be prepared both of copper(II) and of zinc (II) With 3,3-py₂tri under the same conditions oligomeric hydroxy complexes [Cu(3,3-py₂tri)(OH)Y]_n and Zn₂(3,3-py₂tri)₂(OH)(ClO₄)₃, or binuclear compounds like Cu₂(3,3-py₂tri)(ClO₄)₄ are formed. In the latter case a part of 3,3-py₂tri has the function of a bridging ligand. In spite of the lower basicity and of the stiffening by heteroatomatic rings there are close relations between 2,3-py₂tri or 3,3-py₂tri and the aliphatic amine ligands 2,3-tri and 3,3-tri.     

Copper(II) and molybdenum(VI) complexes with 5-bromosalicylaldehyde S-allylisothiosemicarbazone: Syntheses,characterizations and crystal structures

A new tridentate Schiff base, 5-bromosalicylaldehyde S-allylisothiosemicarbazone hydrobromide (H₂L), and several new mononuclear complexes of copper(II) and molybdenum(VI) of this ligand with general formulas ([Cu(L)Im] (1)), ([Cu(L)NH₃]·4H₂O (2)), and ([MoO₂(L)1-MeIm] (3), Imidazole: Im, 1-methylimidazole: 1-MeIm) were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, proton magnetic resonance Spectroscopy, and ultraviolet–visible techniques. The physico-chemical results suggested that the H₂L coordinates in the dianionic tridentate form. Crystal structures of the Cu(II) complexes reveal a square planar configuration surrounded by the dianionic tridentate isothiosemicarbazone (ONN) and Im and NH₃ for 1 and 2, respectively. The L^2-, two oxo, and 1-methylimidazole are coordinated to molybdenum(VI) in a distorted octahedral geometry in 3. Formation of pure metal oxide residues was confirmed by thermal degradation of the complexes.     

Self-assembling dicopper(II) complexes of di-2-pyridyl ketone Schiff base ligands derived from S-alkyldithiocarbazates

Condensation of di-2-pyridyl ketone with S-methyldithiocarbazate or S-benzyldithiocarbazate yields potentially bridging ligands of the form Py₂CNNHC(S)SR; Hdpksme (R = Me; the di-2-pyridyl ketone Schiff base of S-methyldithiocarbazate) and Hdpksbz (R = Bz; the di-2-pyridyl ketone Schiff base of S-benzyldithiocarbazate). Complexation of these ligands with Cu(II) in a 1:1 M ratio leads to the formation of dinuclear complexes of the general formula [Cu(NNNS)X]₂ (X = Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, H₂O). X-ray crystallographic structure determinations show that each ligand provides three donor atoms (NNS) in a meridional configuration to one metal, viz. one of the pyridine nitrogen atoms, the azomethine nitrogen atom and the thiolate sulfur, while the nitrogen atom of the second pyridyl group forms a bridge to another copper(II) ion within the dimer. The coordination geometry around each copper(II) ion is approximately square pyramidal, the basal plane of which is composed of one of the pyridine nitrogen atoms, the azomethine nitrogen atom and a chlorido, nitrato or aqua ligand. The apical position of the square pyramid is always occupied by the pyridine nitrogen atom of the second ligand.     

SYNTHESIS AND POLYMERIZATION OF TRI(2-PYRIDYL)METHYL METHACRYLATE

A novel methacrylate monomer with bulky side group, tri(2-pyridyl)methyl methacrylate(Tr2PyMA), was synthesized and polymerized. The polymer obtained by radical polymerization exhibits highisotactic tacticity.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization and thermal behavior of metal complexes formed with (Z)-2-oxo-2-(2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl)-N-phenylacetamide (H2OI)

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Zn(II) and U(IV)O₂ with (Z)-2-oxo-2-(2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl)-N-phenylacetamide (H₂OI) are reported and have been characterized by various spectroscopic techniques like (IR, UV–Vis, ESR ¹H and ¹³C NMR) as well as magnetic and thermal (TG and DTA) measurements. It is found that the ligand behaves as a neutral tridentate, neutral tetradentate, monoanionic tridentate, monoanionic tridentate and dianionic tridentate. An octahedral geometry for all complexes except [Cu₂(H₂OI)(OAc)₄](H₂O)₂ and [Cu(HOI)Cl](H₂O)₂ which have a square planar geometry. Furthermore, kinetic parameters were determined for each thermal degradation stage of some studied complexes using Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger methods. The bond lengths, bond angles, HOMO, LUMO and dipole moments have been calculated to confirm the geometry of the ligand and the investigated complexes.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Antifungal Activity of Metal Complexes of 2-(5-((2-Chlorophenyl)Diazenyl)-2-Hydroxybenzylidene) Hydrazinecarbothioamide

Abstract

New metal complexes of Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Mn(II), Fe(III), Ru(III), UO₂(II), and VO(II) with the Schiff base, 2-(5-((2-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-2-hydroxy- benzylidene) hydrazine-carbothioamide (H₂L) have been prepared and characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, FT-IR, UV–Vis, mass spectra, ¹H-NMR, and ESR as well as conductivity and magnetic moments measurements. The IR spectra showed that the ligand acts as neutral tridentate, neutral bidentate or monobasic tridentate ligand. The geometries of metal complexes were either octahedral or square pyramidal. The ESR spectra of the solid copper(II) complexes indicated an axial symmetry type of a d_(x2-y2) ground state with considerably ionic or covalent environment. The effect of the presence of an azo group on the biological activity of the ligand was investigated. The ligand and its complexes are biologically inactive due to the presence of azo group.

Syntheses and crystal structures of copper(II) complexes derived from 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine

Treatment of freshly precipitated Cu(OH)₂?·?xH₂O and 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tptz) with oxalic and malonic acids in methanol-water at room temperature gave [Cu(tptz)(C₂O₄)(H₂O)]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cu(pma)(C₃H₂O₄)(H₂O)]?·?H₂O (2) (pma?=?2-aminocarbonylpyridine), respectively. Reaction in the absence of any acid resulted in [Cu(bpca)(tca)]?·?2H₂O (3) (bpca?=?bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide anion; tca?=?2-pyridinecarboxylate anion). Complex 1 consists of [Cu(tptz)(C₂O₄)(H₂O)] and lattice H₂O molecules; the tridentate tptz ligand, bidentate oxalate dianion and an aqua ligand are bound to Cu with distorted octahedral geometry. Complex 2 is composed of [Cu(pma)(C₃H₂O₄)(H₂O)] and lattice H₂O molecules; the bidentate 2-aminocarbonylpyridine ligand, a bidentate malonate dianion and an aqua ligand are coordinated to Cu with a slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry. Complex 3 consists of [Cu(bpca)(tca)] and lattice H₂O molecules. Square pyramidally coordinated Cu atoms are surrounded by tridentate bpca with nitrogen donor atoms and a bidentate 2-pyridinecarboxylate anion.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Complexes of a New Unsymmetrical Tridentate NNS Schiff Base Ligand: X‐ray Crystal Structure Determination of Nickel(II) Complex

A new unsymmetrical tridentate NNS Schiff base ligand, 2‐(2‐nitrophenylthio)‐N‐((pyridine‐2‐yl)methylene)benzenamine (L), and its Mn(II ), Ni(II ), Cu(II ), and Zn(II ) complexes were synthesized. These compounds were characterized by different physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structure of [NiL₂ ](ClO₄ )₂ was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In this complex, two ligands coordinate through azomethine‐N, pyridine‐N, and thioether‐S, forming a mononuclear 6‐coordinate distorted octahedral geometry about a nickel.     

Two Cd(II) coordination polymers based on tris(p-carboxylphenyl)phosphine oxide accompanied by in situ ligand formation

Two Cd(II) coordination polymers constructed from tris(p-carboxylphenyl)phosphine oxide (H₃TPO), [Cd(HTPO)(1,4-bix)·3H₂O]_n (1) and [Cd₂(HTPO)(HBPO)(H₂O)₂]_n (2) (1,4-bix = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, H₃BPO = bis(4-carboxylphenyl)phosphinic acid), were synthesized and identified by IR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The 1,4-bix ligand leads to 1 as a ladder-like 1D chain structure. In 2, adjacent Cd₂ units are bridged by HBPO^2– and HTPO^2– ligands to form a 3D structure. The H₃BPO ligand is formed from the in situ reaction of H₃TPO. It is the first example from hydrated Cd(II) salt promoting partial hydrolysis of a phosphine oxide ligand. The thermal behavior and solid-state photoluminescence properties correlated with the corresponding structural features were investigated.     

Studies on Binuclear Co(II) and Cu(II) Complexes of Tridentate N-(2-Carboxyphenyl)Salicylideneimine

Homo Cu(II) and Co(II) binuclear complexes H[MLClMCl₂] formed by using the donor properties of the cis two oxygen atoms of the tridentate N-(2-carboxyphenyl)-salicylaldimine Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and anthranilic acid have been synthesized. It was found that the Cu(II) “complexed ligand” readily reacts with CoCl₂ to form mononuclear Co(II) and binuclear oxygen bridged Co(II) complex [Co₂-L₂](H₂O)₂. The structure of the so prepared complexes was investigated using microchemical analysis, molar conductance measurements as well as electronic and vibrational spectral studies. It was concluded that in the Cu(II) binuclear complex, the Cu(II) ion inside the “complexed ligand” has a planar structure while the other Cu(II) ion is distorted away from planarity. In the Co(II) binuclear complex, the Co atom of the “complexed ligand” is distorted from tetrahedral structure when it coordinates to the second Co atom.     

Copper(II) complexes containing hemilabile tridentate ligand as chromotropic probes

Two copper(II) complexes with the general formula [Cu(L)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ (1) and [Cu(L)₂](ClO₄)₂ (2), where L=3-((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)propanamide, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV–vis spectroscopy techniques and molar conductance measurements. The crystal structures of the complexes were identified by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The tridentate ligand L acts as an N₂O-donor through the nitrogen atoms of the pyridine and amine moieties as well the oxygen atom of the amide group. The copper(II) ions in both complexes have distorted octahedron structures so that the Cu(II) ion in 1 is coordinated by an aqua ligand and a tridentate ligand defining the basal plane, and by two oxygen atoms of the perchlorate ions occupying the axial positions. However, two ligands L are coordinated to the copper(II) ion in 2, where four nitrogen atoms of pyridine and amine groups occupy the equatorial positions and two oxygen atoms of the amide moieties exist in the apices. The chromotropism (halo-, solvato- and ionochromism) of both complexes were studied using visible absorption spectroscopy. The complexes are soluble in water and organic solvents and display reversible halochromism. The solvatochromism property is due to structural change followed by solvation of the vacant sites of the complexes. The complexes demonstrated obvious ionochromism and are highly sensitive and selective towards CN^? and N₃^? anions in the presence of other halide and pseudo-halide ions.     

The first square‐planar copper(II) 1:2 complex with differently coordinated 2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde 4‐allylthiosemicarbazone ligands

The title compound, [(Z)‐4‐allyl‐2‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)thiosemicarbazide‐κS][(E)‐4‐allyl‐1‐(2‐oxidobenzylidene)thiosemicarbazidato‐κ³O,N¹,S]copper(II) monohydrate, [Cu(C₁₁H₁₁N₃OS)(C₁₁H₁₃N₃OS)]·H₂O, crystallized as a rotational twin in the monoclinic crystal system (space group Cc) with two formula unit (Z′ = 2) in the asymmetric unit, one of which contains an allyl substituent disordered over two positions. The Cu^II atom exhibits a distorted square‐planar geometry involving two differently coordinated thiosemicarbazone ligands. One ligand is bonded to the Cu^II atom in a tridentate manner via the phenolate O, azomethine N and thioamide S atoms, while the other coordinates in a monodentate manner via the S atom only. The complex is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond, which creates a six‐membered pseudo‐chelate metalla‐ring. The structure analysis indicates the presence of the E isomer for the tridentate ligand and the Z isomer for the monodentate ligand. The crystal structure contains a three‐dimensional network built from intermolecular O—H...O, N—H...O, O—H...N and N—H...S hydrogen bonds.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and properties of copper(II) and manganese(II) complexes with azide and 3,4-di(2′-pyridyl)-1,2,5-oxadiazole

Two transition metal complexes with azide and 3,4-di(2′-pyridyl)-1,2,5-oxadiazole (dpo), [Cu₂(dpo)₂(N₃)₄] (1), and [Mn(dpo)₂(N₃)₂] (2), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Cu(II) complex is binuclear with double end-on (EO) azido bridges, in which each Cu(II) ion assumes a distorted square pyramidal geometry, and each EO azido bridge adopts a quasi-symmetric fashion. In contrast, the Mn(II) complex is mononuclear, in which the Mn(II) ion is ligated by two dpo ligands and two terminal azide ions, with a distorted octahedron geometry. Magnetic studies on the Cu(II) complex revealed that the double EO azido bridge mediates ferromagnetic coupling with J=12.8 cm⁻¹.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of a copper(II) complex of the tridentate ligand di-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)imine

A copper complex [Cu(IDB)Cl] · 0.5[CuCl₄]?·?H₂O (1) (IDB?=?di(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)imine) was synthesized and its structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. In this complex, the central copper(II) ion is four-coordinate, IDB serves as a neutral tridentate chelating ligand for the tetragonal copper ion. The cyclic voltammogram of complex 1 in CH₃CN gave two reversible redox waves (E _1/2,1?=??0.14?V and E _1/2,2?=?0.08?V versus SCE) which correspond to the Cu(II,?II)/Cu(I,?II) and Cu(II,?II)/Cu(II,?I) redox processes, respectively.     

Synthesis,X-ray crystal structure and DFT studies of cobalt(II) and vanadium(V) complexes with N,N,O-tridentate aroyl-hydrazone based ligand

A new aroyl-hydrazone, 2-pyridine carboxaldehyde-derived hydrazone ligand and its cobalt(II) (1) and vanadium(V) (2) complexes were prepared. The structures of these compounds were investigated using elemental analysis, spectral (IR, UV), and X-ray diffraction measurements. The electrochemical properties of the complexes were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The hydrazone ligand acted as tridentate and coordinated to vanadium and cobalt via N-imine, N-pyridine, and O-benzohydrazide atoms. The Co(II) complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, and has a binuclear structure. Chloride ions behave as the linking bridge and a tridentate hydrazine ligand HL and water as the terminal capping ligands. The central Co(II) ion has distorted octahedral geometry. The vanadium(V) complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P2₁/n, and can be described as having highly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination. The geometries and electronic properties of the complexes were also obtained using DFT and TD-DFT calculations.     

Nickel(II), copper(II), and cobalt(II) complexes derived from a new unsymmetrical ONS donor Schiff base ligand: synthesis,characterization, crystal structure,and catalytic activities

Ni(II), Cu(II), and Co(II) complexes, ML₂, with a new thioether containing ONS donors were synthesized, where L = deprotonated Schiff base. The analytical, spectral (FTIR, ¹H NMR, and UV-vis), conductivity, and magnetic studies show that the metal complexes possess octahedral geometry and are non-electrolytes. The coordination mode of ligand, 1, and nickel(II) complex, NiL₂, 2, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Here, the nickel is coordinated to two oxygens, two nitrogens, and two sulfurs of two tridentate ligands with slightly distorted octahedral environment around nickel. The copper complex shows very good catalytic activities towards oxidation of organic thioethers to the corresponding sulfoxide predominantly using H₂O₂ as the oxidant.     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of the Co(III) Complex with 2'-[1-(2-Pyridinyl)-Ethylidene]-Oxamohydrazide (Hapsox): The Crystal Structure of Bis-{2'-[1-(2-Pyridinyl)-Ethylidene]-Oxamohydrazido} Cobalt(III) Perchlorate, [Co(apsox)2]ClO4

The synthesis of a novel ligand 2′-[1-(2-pyridinyl)-ethylidene]-oxamohydrazide (Hapsox), from a series of 2-acetylpyridine acylhydrazones, and its complex with Co(III), which is the first in this series of complexes are described. Both the ligand and the complex were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR, and ¹³C-NMR spectra, and the structure of the complex [Co(apsox)₂]ClO₄ was determined by X-ray structural analysis. It was established that [Co(apsox)₂]ClO₄ has an octahedral geometry with two tridentate apsox ligands in monoanionic form. Structural characteristics, lengths of the bonds, and angles between the bonds were typical for Co(III) complexes of distorted octahedral geometry. Both direct and template synthesis afforded the same geometrical isomer of the complex with two apsox ligands meridionally bound to the central metal ion, even in the case when equimolar quantities of Co(ClO₄)₂ and Hapsox were applied.     

Hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated substrates by tris(2-phridyl)amine (tpN) or tris(2-pyridyl)phosphine (tpP)/[Ir(COE)2Cl]2 catalyst systems

This work describes the homogeneous hydrogenation of different α,β-unsaturated substrates by using as catalyst systems the complex [Ir(COE)₂Cl]₂ stabilized by tris(2-pyridyl)amine (tpN) or tris(2-pyridyl)phosphine (tpP) formed in situ under the following reaction conditions: pH₂ = 34 atm; T=373 K; substrate/catalyst ratio = 100, [ligand]/[metal]: 2,1; toluene (50 mL); R.P.M.: 430; t = 6 h. The activities varies from low to moderate range, where both ligands proved to be catalyst systems able to hydrogenate C=C and C=O bonds.     

Spectroscopic,crystal structure and thermal studies of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) with 5-amino-4-arylazo-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole (aryl=C6H5,o-C6H4COOH,o-C6H4OH)

5-Amino-4-arylazo-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole (aryl?=?C₆H₅,o-C₆H₄COOH,o-C₆H₄OH) and its complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions were synthesized. The complexes are in the ratio 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 (metal?:?ligand). Ligands and complexes were subjected to elemental analysis, IR, Raman, UV-Vis and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The mass spectra of the ligands were discussed. Thermal analysis and magnetic measurements were carried out for the prepared complexes. The X-ray single crystal structure of [Ni(L1)₂] was performed. The investigated pyrazole compounds coordinate as bidentate ligands through amino and azo nitrogens or tridentate through NNO. The molar conductance of the chelates is measured and reflected the non-electrolytic nature of the prepared complexes.
