Reactions of Cr,Mo, W,and Mn carbonyls with 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-quinone under the action of elastic wave pulses

Solid-state reactions of Cr, Mo, W, and Mn carbonyls with 3,6-di-terl-butyl-o-benzoquinone (Q) proceeding in molded powder-like mixtures (carbonyl-Q) treated with pulses of elastic waves were studied. The products of the reactions of Q with Cr(CO)₆, Mo(CO)₆, and W(CO)₆ are paramagnetic serniquinone complexes of Cr, Mo, and W. The formation of two semiquinone complexes with one or two manganese atoms was detected in the reaction of Mn₂(CO)₁₀ with Q.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademi Nauk.

Complexing properties of polyhexamethyleneguanidine chemically grafted to a silica surface

Covalent bonding of polyhexamethyleneguanidine amides of maleic and o-phthalic acids to the aminated silica surface was performed. The complexing properties of the obtained composite adsorbents with respect to Zn(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Pb(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Mo(VI), and Cr(VI) ions were studied. The Mo(VI) and Cr(VI) reduction was detected on the modified silica surface bearing polyhexamethyleneguanidine amide with o-phthalic acid. The formation of different-ligand complexes with transition metal cations adsorbed on the synthesized composite surface was studied.     

On the Thermal Decompositions of the Trivalent Trioxalato Complexes of Al, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co

The thermal decompositions of the complexes K₃[M(ox)₃]3H₂O(M=Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co; ox=C₂O₄^2–) were studied. Dehydration of the complexes occurs up to 200°C, this being a three-step process for M=Al, Cr, Mn and Co, and a two-step process for M=Fe. Decomposition of the dehydrated complexes proceeds in several steps. For M=Al, Cr and Fe, the decomposition takes place with the evolution of CO, whereas for M=Mn and Co the decomposition of the oxalate ligand yields solid C besides CO. The temperature of CO liberation decreases in the series Cr<Al<Co<Mn<Fe. For M=transition metal, this trend can be explained by the fact that the strength of the C—C bond in the oxalate ligand decreases in the series Cr<Co<Mn<Fe.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Thermolysis of cyano complexes. VII. On the thermal decomposition of hexacyanocobaltate(III); ligand exchange during thermolysis The thermal decomposition of hexacyanocobaltates(III) yields, as products of successive intramolecular redox reactions, first dicyan and Co^II(Co^III)-complexes, then Co^II[Co^II]-complexes and simple Co^II(CN)₂, respectively, and finally Co^ICN and elemental Co, respectively. All the compounds of the [Co^III(NH₃)₆]³⁺ cation with the cyanometallate anions of Co, Fe, Cr, Mn, Ni, Mo yield the same DTA curve as [Co(NH₃)₆][Co(CN)₆] does; in the case of Ni and Cr, which are capable of forming ammine complexes, simultaneous mutual ligand exchange occurs.     

Photochemical reactions of metal carbonyls [M(CO)6 (M=Cr,Mo, W)] with N,N′ -bis(salicylidene)-1,2-bis- ( o -aminophenoxy)ethane

The complexes [M(CO)₄(η²-H₂L)] [M?=?Cr; 1, Mo; 2, W; 3] have been synthesized by photochemical reactions of VIB metal carbonyls [M(CO)₆] [M?=?Cr,?Mo,?W] with N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-bis-(o-aminophenoxy)ethane (H₂L) in THF and characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR, ¹H?NMR and mass spectra. The H₂L ligand is coordinated to the central metal as a bidentate ligand via the central azomethine nitrogen atoms in 1–3.

Ternary complex borides of formulaMM′B₄ have been prepared within the systems U-{V, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Re, Fe, Co}-B. The phases U(Mo, W, Re)B₄ are isotypic with ThMoB₄-type structure; U(V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co)B₄ crystallize with YCrB₄-type structure.     

Synthesis and characterization of 3-methyl-5-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1-H-pyrazole-4-carbothioamide and its metal complexes

The molecular parameters have been calculated to confirm the geometry of 3-methyl-5-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1-H-pyrazole-4-carbothioamide, HL. The compound is introduced as a new chelating agent for complexation with Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions. The isolated chelates were characterized by partial elemental analyses, magnetic moments, spectra (IR, UV–vis, ESR; ¹H NMR) and thermal studies. The protonation constant of HL (5.04) and the stepwise stability constants of its Co(II), Cu(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes were calculated. The ligand coordinates as a monobasic bidentate through hydroxo and thiol groups in all complexes except Cr(III) which acts as a monobasic monodentate through the enolized carbonyl oxygen. Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes measured normal magnetic moments; Cu(II) and Co(II) measured subnormal while Ni(II) complex is diamagnetic. The data confirm a high spin and low spin octahedral structures for the Fe(III) and Co(II) complexes. The ESR spectrum of the Cu(II) complex support the binuclear structure. The molecular parameters have also been calculated for the Cu(II) and Fe(III) complexes. The thermal decomposition stages of the complexes confirm the MS to be the residual part. Also, the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were calculated for some decomposition steps.     

Synthesis of o-benzoquinones annulated with 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate fragment. Dioxolene ligands bearing non-planar geometry

A procedure has been developed for the annulation of a 2-(thi)oxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate fragment to 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone. The resulting o-quinones have a significant asymmetry with respect to the plane of the chelate dioxolene site, which can be used in the targeted design of the coordination environment of metal ions in complexes. Isomeric manganese adducts containing dioxolene, carbonyl, and phosphine ligands, which differ in the location of the asymmetric o-quinone ligand, have been characterized by EPR spectroscopy.

     

Synthesis of magnesium catecholate and <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-semiquinone complexes by oxidation of the metal with 3,6-di-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-benzoquinone

Oxidation of amalgamated magnesium metal with 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone (1) in different aprotic organic solvents afforded magnesium catecholate and bis-o-semiquinolate complexes. The catecholate derivatives of magnesium CatMgL₂ (Cat is the 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone dianion, L = THF or Py) were synthesized in high yields in pyridine and tetrahydrofuran, respectively. The reactions in diethyl ether or dimethoxyethane produced hexacoordinated metal bis-o-semiquinolates SQ₂MgL_n (SQ is the 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone radical anion, L = Et₂O, n = 2; L = DME, n = 1). The reaction with the use of toluene as the solvent gave a magnesium bis-o-semiquinolate complex containing the coordinated unreduced o-quinone molecule. The molecular structures of the [CatMgPy₂]₂ and SQ₂Mg·DME complexes were established by X-ray diffraction. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Metal complexes of tetradentate azo-dye ligand derived from 4,4′-oxydianiline: Preparation,structural investigation,biological evaluation and MOE studies

The Cr (III), Mn (II), Fe (III), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Cd (II) complexes were prepared by reaction of its metal chlorides with new azo-dye ligand (H₂L). The ligand derived from 4,4′-oxydianiline and 2-amino-4-chlorophenol was synthesized in a 1:2 molar ratio. The structure of the ligand and its metal complexes was investigated using different tools such as elemental analysis (C, H, N and M), molar conductivity, IR, UV–vis, ¹H-NMR, mass spectrometry and thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric studies. The data showed that the ligand acted as a N,N,O,O-binegative tetradentate ligand. All metal complexes had a octahedral structure as depicted by spectral and elemental analyses. The conductivity data showed the electrolytic nature of the Cr (III) and Fe (III) complexes while the other complexes were nonelectrolytes. Thermal analysis studies showed the decomposition of the complexes in four to five steps with the weight loss of hydrated water in the first decomposition step followed by the coordinated water and ligand molecules. Biological activity was tested for the prepared compounds against four bacterial species (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and against two fungal species (Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans). Also, all complexes were screened for anticancer activities against a breast cancer (MCF-7) cell line. The [Co(L)(H₂O)₂] complex showed the lowest IC₅₀ value. Molecular docking is a key tool in computer drug design. Therefore, investigation of protein receptors and ligand interaction plays a vital role in the design of structurally based drugs. As a result, docking studies were investigated for H₂L ligand, [Mn(L)(H₂O)₂] and [Ni(L)(H₂O)₂] complexes with 5KBC, 3V7B and 4G9M receptors.     

Metal complexes of novel Schiff base derived from the condensation of 2‐quinoline carboxaldehyde and ambroxol drug with some transition metal ions

A new Schiff base was prepared as the condensation product of the reaction of 2‐quinoline carboxaldehyde and ambroxol drug. The Schiff base ligand thus obtained (HL; trans‐4‐[(2‐(2‐quinolinoimino)‐3,5‐dibromobenzyl)amino]cyclohexanol) was further employed as a tridentate ligand for the synthesis of new complexes through reaction with Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) metal ions. The synthesized HL and its metal complexes were characterized using various physicochemical techniques including elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared and UV–visible spectroscopies, conductimetric and magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass spectrometry and thermal analyses. ¹H NMR data indicated that complex formation was through the amino group rather than the aliphatic hydroxyl group. Thermal analysis gave an idea about the decomposition pattern of HL and its complexes. Also, it revealed the number of water molecules in the inner and outer spheres of the complexes. An octahedral geometry for all the complexes has been suggested. HL and its complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activity against various species of bacteria and fungi using the disc diffusion method. The Cr(III) complex had the highest antimicrobial activity.

Spectral and thermal studies of alloxan complexes

The complexes of alloxan with Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) Cd(II), Hg(II), Ti(IV) and Zr(II) have been isolated and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, molar conductivity, spectral studies (mid infrared, ¹H-NMR and UV/vis spectra), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal decomposition of the metal complexes was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The kinetic thermodynamic parameters, E*, ΔH*, ΔS* and ΔG*, were calculated using Coats and Redfern and Horowitz and Metzger equations. The ligand and its complexes have been studied for possible biological activity including antibacterial and antifungal activity.     

Potential of ethylenediaminedi(o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) and N,N′-bis(hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetic acid for the determination of metal ions by capillary electrophoresis

Two aromatic polyaminocarboxylate ligands, ethylenediaminedi(o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) (EDDHA) and N,N′-bis(hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetic acid (HBED), were applied for the separation of transition and heavy metal ions by the ion-exchange variant of electrokinetic chromatography. EDDHA structure contains two chiral carbon centers. It makes it impossible to use the commercially available ligand. All the studied metal ions showed two peaks, which correspond to meso and rac forms of the ligand. The separation of metal–HBED chelates was performed using poly(diallyldimethylammonium) polycations in mixed acetate–hydroxide form. Simultaneous separation of nine single- and nine double-charged HBED chelates, including In(III), Ga(III), Co(II)–(III) and Mn(II)–(III) pairs demonstrated the efficiency of 40 000–400 000 theoretical plates. The separation of Co(III), Fe(III) complexes with different arrangements of donor groups and oxidation of Co(II), Mn(II), Fe(II) ions in reaction with HBED have been discussed.     

Novel Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes with some transition elements. Synthesis,spectroscopic, thermal analysis,antimicrobial and in vitro anticancer activity

A novel Schiff base ligand (H₂L) was prepared through condensation of 2,6‐diaminopyridine and o‐benzoylbenzoic acid in a 1:2 ratio. This Schiff base ligand was characterized using elemental and spectroscopic analyses. A new series of Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) metal complexes of H₂L were prepared and characterized using elemental analysis, spectroscopy (¹H NMR, mass, UV–visible, Fourier transform infrared, electron spin resonance), magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity, X‐ray powder diffraction and thermal analysis. The complexes are found to have trigonal bipyramidal geometry except Cr(III), Mn(II) and Fe(III) complexes which have octahedral geometry based on magnetic moment and solid reflectance measurements. The infrared spectral studies reveal that H₂L behaves as a neutral bidentate ligand and coordinates to the metal ions via the two azomethine nitrogens. ¹H NMR spectra confirm the non‐involvement of the carboxylic COOH proton in complex formation. The presence of water molecules in all reported complexes is supported by thermogravimetric studies. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were determined using Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger equations. The synthesized ligand and its complexes were screened for antimicrobial activities against two Gram‐positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), two Gram‐negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Neisseria gonorrhoeae) and one fungus (Candida albicans). Anticancer activities of the ligand and its metal complexes against human breast cancer cell line (MCF7) were investigated. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Syntheses,toxicity and biodistribution of CO‐releasing molecules containing M(CO)5 (M = Mo,W and Cr)

A series of CO‐releasing molecules M(CO)₅ L (M = Mo, W and Cr), ( 1 , 2 , 3 , L = glycine methyl ester; 4 , 5 , 6 , N‐methylimidazole; 7 , 8 , 9 , 2‐aminopyridine; 10 , 11 , 12 , 3‐aminopyridine; 13 , 14 , 15 , 4‐aminopyridine), were synthesized. All complexes have been characterized by NMR, IR and electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy; the octahedral structures of 14 and 15 were also established by X‐ray crystallography. Furthermore, all complexes were evaluated for toxicity, pharmacokinetics and metabolic processes. Cytotoxic effects on the proliferation of fibroblast cell line were assayed by MTT. Among the complexes, Mo complex 1 showed the lowest cytotoxicity (IC₅₀ = 597 µmol l^?1) and W complex 2 showed a remarkable toxic effect, with IC₅₀ = 52 µmol l^?1. With the same ligand, the toxic effects of the complexes increase in the order of metal element W < Cr < Mo. For the same central metal element, the complexes containing imidazole showed lower toxic effects than those containing amino acid ester or aminopyridine. In accordance with the results from cytotoxicity, the complexes also showed corresponding toxic effects in animal models. The biodistributions of the complexes were established by inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectroscopy, measuring metal in tissues and organs. The results show that the complexes were gradually absorbed and unevenly distributed in vivo. The complexes containing imidazole entered tissues and organs faster than those containing amino acid ester. The complexes containing W atom were absorbed and distributed more slowly than those containing Mo or Cr atoms. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Photochemical reactions of M(CO)6 (M = Cr,Mo, W) with Ph2P(S)P(S)Ph2

New complexes {M(CO)₄[Ph₂P(S)P(S)Ph₂]} (M = Cr, Mo and W), (1a)–(3a), [(1a), M = Cr; (2a), M = Mo; (3a), M = W] and {M₂(CO)₁₀[-Ph₂P(S)P(S)Ph₂]} (M = Cr, Mo, W), [(1b)–(3b) [(1b), M = Cr; (2b), M = Mo; (3b), M = W]] have been prepared by the photochemical reaction of M(CO)₆ with Ph₂P(S)P(S)Ph₂ and characterized by elemental analyses, f.t.-i.r. and ³¹P-(¹H)-n.m.r. spectroscopy and by FAB-mass spectrometry. The spectra suggest cis-chelate bidentate coordination of the ligand in {M(CO)₄[Ph₂P(S)P(S)Ph₂]} and cis-bridging bidentate coordination of the ligand between two metals in (M = Cr, Mo and W).     

Photochemical reactions of metal carbonyls [M(CO)6 (M = Cr,Mo and W), Re(CO)5Br,Mn(CO)3Cp] with 2-hydroxyacetophenone methanesulfonylhydrazone (apmsh)

Five new complexes, [M(CO)₅(apmsh)] [M = Cr; (1), Mo; (2), W; (3)], [Re(CO)₄Br(apmsh)] (4) and [Mn(CO)₃(apmsh)] (5) have been synthesized by the photochemical reaction of metal carbonyls [M(CO)₆] (M = Cr, Mo and W), [Re(CO)₅Br], and [Mn(CO)₃Cp] with 2-hydroxyacetophenone methanesulfonylhydrazone (apmsh). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, f.t.-i.r. and ¹H spectroscopy. Spectroscopic studies show that apmsh behaves as a monodentate ligand coordinating via the imine N donor atom in [M(CO)₅(apmsh)] (1–4) and as a tridentate ligand in (5).     

Reaction Behavior of Decacarbonyldimetalates(2‐) (M = Cr and Mo) towards the Nitrosyl Carbonyls of Iron and Cobalt

The reaction of the nitrosyl carbonyl complexes [Fe(NO)₂(CO)₂] and [Co(NO)(CO)₃] with the decacarbonyldimetalates [M₂(CO)₁₀]^2– (M = Cr and Mo) in THF as the solvent at room temperature was investigated. Thereby a substitution of one nitrosyl ligand towards carbon monoxide was observed in each case. Both reactions afforded the known metalate complexes [Fe(NO)(CO)₃]^– and [Co(CO)₄]^–, respectively. These species were isolated as their corresponding PPN salts [PPN⁺ = bis(triphenylphosphane)iminium cation] in nearly quantitative yields. The products were unambiguously identified by their IR spectroscopic and elemental analytic data as well as by their characteristic colors and melting points.     

Quinonimines and aminoquinones, the reaction products of 3,6-di(tert-butyl)-o-benzoquinone with primary and secondary amines

Reactions of 3,6-di(tert-butyl)-o-benzoquinone with primary amines occur by the nucleophilic 1,4-addition mechanism and lead to the corresponding 2-hydroxy-p-quinonimines, which exist in solutions in equilibrium with tautomeric 4-amino-o-quinones. The thermodynamic parameters of this prototropic isomerism were determined by NMR spectroscopy. In the case of a secondary amine (piperidine), a derivative of 4-amino-o-quinone was obtained; the corresponding o-semiquinone complexes were studied in solution by ESR spectroscopy.
