Summary The preparation and characterization of Cu^II, Co^II, Ni^II and Hg^II complexes containing 1,4-diphenylthiosemicarbazide (DPhTSC) of the type [Cu(DPhTSC-H)X.H₂O]nH₂O (X= Cl, Br or Ac; n=0 or 1) · [M(DPhTSC-H)₂yH₂O] (M=Co^II or Ni^II; y=0 or 1) and [Hg(DPhTSC)Cl₂]2 H₂O and [Cu(D-PhTSC)₂SO₄]H₂O are reported. The stereochemistry of the complexes have been studied with the help of magnetic and electronic measurements. The anomalous magnetic moments observed in all cases have been explained. The i.r. spectral studies have been used to determine the bonding sites in the complexes.     

The preparation and characterization of some new nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of the pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde Schiff bases ofS-alkyl esters of dithiocarbazic acid

Summary New complexes of general formulae [Ni(HL)₂], [ML]·H₂O and [Cu(HL)X] (H₂L = pyrrole-2-aldehyde Schiff bases ofS-methyl- andS-benzyldithiocarbazates; X = Cl or Br; M = Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II or Cd^II) were prepared and characterized by a variety of physicochemical techniques. The Schiff bases coordinate as NS bidentate chelating agents in [Ni(HL)₂] and [Cu(HL)X], and as tridentate NNS chelates in [ML] (M = Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II or Cd^II). Both the [Ni(HL)₂] and [NiL] complexes are diamagnetic and square-planar. Based on magnetic and spectroscopic evidence, thiolate sulphur-bridged dimeric square-planar structures are assigned to the [Cu(HL)X] and [ML] (M = Ni^II or Cu^II) complexes. The complexes ML (M = Zn^II or Cd^II) are polymeric and octahedral.     

Transition metal complexes with thiosemicarbazide-based ligands,Part II,Synthesis and characterisation of nickel(II), cobalt(II), manganese(II) and zinc(II) complexes with the pentadentate ligand, 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(S-methylisothiosemicarbazone)

Summary The reaction of warm alcoholic solutions of acetates of Co^II, Mn^II, Zn^II and Ni^II with 2, 6-diacetylpyridine andS-methylisothiosemicarbazide hydrogen iodide yielded the complexes: [Co(H₂L)I₂]·H₂O, [Mn(H₂L)(MeOH)₂]I₂, [Zn(H₂L)(MeOH)I]I and [Ni(HL)]I, (H₂L=the pentadentate pentaaza-ligand 2, 6-diacetylpyridine bis(S-methylisothiosemicarbazone)). The reaction of methanolic solutions of [Ni(HL)]I and NH₄NCS or LiOAc.2H₂O, give [Ni(HL)]NCS and NiL, respectively. For the complexes of Co^II, Mn^II and Zn^II, a pentagonal bipyramidal configuration is proposed, with H₂L in the equatorial plane and two unidentate ligands (I and/or MeOH) in the axial positions. The complexes [Ni(HL)]X (X=I or NCS) and NiL probably have monomeric five- and dimeric six-coordinate structures, respectively, in which only the chelate ligand is involved in coordination.     

The coordination chemistry ofN,N′-ethylenebis(2-acetylpyridine imine) andN,N′-ethylenebis(2-benzoylpyridine imine); two potentially tetradentate ligands containing four nitrogen atoms

Summary New complexes of the general formulae [ML_A(H₂O)₂]-Cl₂ (M=Ni or Cu), [ML_AX₂] (M=Co or Cu; X=Cl or Br), [NiL_ABr₂]·H₂O, [ML_A] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), [NiL_B(H₂O)₂]Cl₂·2H₂O, [ML_BCl₂] (M=Co, Ni, Cu, Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) and [ML_B] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), where L_A=N,N-ethylenebis(2-acetylpyridine imine) and L_B=N, N-ethylenebis(2-benzoylpyridine imine), have been isolated. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, t.g./d.t.g. methods, magnetic susceptibilities and spectroscopic (i.r., far-i.r., ligand field,¹Hn.m.r.) studies. Monomeric pseudo-octahedral stereochemistries for the Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II complexes andcis square planar structures for the compounds [ML_BX₂] (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) are assigned in the solid state. The molecules L_A and L_B behave as tetradentate chelate ligands in the Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Magnus-type Pd^II and Pt^II complexes, bonding through both the pyridine and methine nitrogen atoms. A bidentateN-methine coordination of the Schiff base L_B is assigned in the [ML_BX₂] complexes (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br). The anomalous magnetic moment values of the Co^II complexes are discussed.     

N-Phthaloylglycinate ternary complexes with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) metal ions and aromatic mono,bi and tridentate amines

Complexes of N-phthaloylglycinate (N-phthgly) and Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II and Cd^II containing imidazole (imi), N-methylimidazole (mimi), 2,2-bipyridyl (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), and tridentate amines such as 2,2,2-terpyridine (terpy) and 2,4,6-(2-pyridyl)s-triazine (tptz), were prepared and characterized by conventional methods, i.r. spectra and by thermogravimetric analysis. For imi and mimi ternary complexes, the general formula [M(imi/mimi)₂(N-phthgly)₂]·nH₂O, where M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II applies. For Cd^II ternary complexes with imi, [Cd(imi)₃(N-phthgly)₂]·2H₂O applies. For the bi and tridentate ligands, ternary complexes of the formula [M(L)(N-phthgly)₂]·nH₂O were obtained, where M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II; L = bipy, phen, tptz and terpy. In all complexes, N-phthgly acts as a monodentate ligand, coordinating metal ions through the carboxylate oxygen, except for the ternary complexes of Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II with mimi and Cu^II and Zn^II with imi, where the N-phthgly acts as a bidentate ligand, coordinating the metal ions through both carboxylate oxygen atoms.     

Preparation,characterization and antifungal properties of transition metal ion complexes of quadridentate N3S ligands

Summary New metal complexes [M(NNNS)X] (M = Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II and Cd^II; NNNS^– = anion of the quadridentate ligands formed from S-methyl--N-(2-aminophenyl)-methylenedithiocarbazate and pyridine-2-aldehyde or 6-methylpyridine-2-aldehyde; X = Cl, NCS, NO₃ or I) and [Co(NNNS)Cl₂]·2H₂O have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and conductance measurements. Magnetic and spectroscopic evidence support a five-coordinate structure for [M(NNNS)X] (M = Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II and Cd^II; X = Cl, NCS) and a squareplanar structure for [Ni(NNNS)]X (X = NO₃ or I). The [Co(NNNS)Cl₃]·2H₂O complex is low-spin and octahedral. The Schiff bases and some of their metal complexes were tested against three pathogenic fungi, Alternaria alternata, Curvularia geniculata and Fusarium palidoroseum. The metal complexes are less fungitoxic than the free ligands.     

Six-coordinate dinuclear hexaazamacrocyclic complexes of nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) with tetraamide group ligands

Summary A series of 20–24 membered macrocyclic dinuclear transition metal complexes [M₂L¹X₄]-[M₂L⁴X₄] (M = Ni^II, Cu^II or Zn^II; X = Cl or NO₃) have been synthesized by template condensation of diethylenetriamine with dicarboxylic acids. The bonding and stereochemistry of the complexes have been characterized by i.r.,¹H-n.m.r., e.p.r. and electronic spectral studies, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. The Ni and Zn complexes exhibit octahedral geometry around the metal ion, whereas the Cu complexes possess a distorted octahedral geometry. Each metal ion is coordinated by two amide nitrogens and two secondary nitrogens of the diethylenetriamine moiety; the fifth and sixth coordination sites are occupied by the anions.     

Complexes of aminobenzylamines. part II. Complexes ofo-aminobenzylamine with palladium(II) and platinum(II)

Summary The reactions of K₂[MX₄] (M = Pd^II or Pt^II and X = Cl or Br) witho-aminobenzylamine (o-aba) have been studied in neutral aqueous solutions. Two types of complexes were isolated from these studies: [MLX₂] and [ML₂]X₂. Elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, i.r. and visible spectra suggest polymeric structures for [MLX₂] with the ligand,o-aba = L, acting as a bridge, and/or mononuclear structures for [ML₂]X₂.     

Cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 5-(2-carboxyphenylazo)-2-thiohydantoin

A new series of hexacoordinate cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 5-(2-carboxyphenylazo)-2-thiohydantoin HL having formulae [LM(OAc)(H₂O)₂] · nH₂O (M = Co^II, Cu^II and Ni^II), [LMCl(H₂O)₂] · nH₂O (M = Co^II and Ni^II), [LCuCl(H₂O)]₂ · 2H₂O, [LCu(H₂O)₃](ClO₄) and [LCu(HSO₄)(H₂O)₂] were isolated and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivities and magnetic susceptibilities, and by i.r., electronic and e.s.r. spectral measurements, as well as by thermal (t.g. and d.t.g.) analyses. The i.r. spectra indicate that the ligand HL behaves as a monobasic tridentate towards the three divalent metal ions via an azo-N, carboxylate-O and thiohydantoin-O atom. The magnetic moments and electronic spectral data suggest an octahedral geometry for Co^II complexes, distorted octahedral geometry for both Ni^II and Cu^II complexes with a dimeric structure for [LCuCl(H₂O)]₂ · 2H₂O through bridged chloro ligands. The X-band e.s.r. spectra reveal an axial symmetry for the copper(II) complexes with unsymmetrical M_s = ± 1 signal and G-parameter less than four for the dimeric [LCuCl(H₂O)]₂ · 2H₂O. The thermogravimetry (t.g. and d.t.g.) of some complexes were studied; the order and kinetic parameters of their thermal degradation were determined by applying Coats–Redfern method and discussed.     

Solvolysis of palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of asymmetric ligands: Synthesis and structural characterization of [Pd(AMP)(dmso)Cl]BF4 and [Pt(AMP)(dmso)Cl]ClO4

Treatment of [M(AMP)Cl₂] (M = Pt^II, Pd^II; AMP = 2-aminomethylpyridine) with 1 mole of AgX (X = ClO₄, BF₄, PF₆) in dmso yields [M(AMP)(dmso)Cl]X. Single crystal X-ray structure determinations of the Pd^II and Pt^II complexes indicate that dmso is S-bondedtrans to the pyridyl ring in both complexes.

Metal complexes of sulfur-nitrogen chelating agents. Part 12. The chemistry of nickel(II), palladium(II), cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes of N2S2 and N3S2 donor systems

Summary Nickel(II), palladium(II), cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes of the ligandN,N-1,2-propane-bis(methyl 2-amino-cyclopent-1-ene-dithiocarboxylate) (H₂L¹),N,N-1,3-propane-bis(methyl 2-aminocyclopent-1-ene-dithiocarboxylate) (H₂L²) andN,N-[bis(methyl 2-aminocyclopent-1-ene-dithiocarboxylate)] diethylenetriamine (H₂L³) have been synthesised. Both H₂L¹ and H₂L² form complexes of the type ML, and all but the copper(II) complexes, are square planar. In the copper(II) complexes tetrahedral distortion is significantly more with CuL². From H₂L³ square planar complexes of the type [M(HL³)X] (M=Ni, X=Cl, Br, I or SCN; M=Pd, X=Cl or Br) have been obtained in which the donor unit involved is N₂SX. The composition of the cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes is [M(H₂L³)X₂] (X=Cl or Br) which contain the chromophore [MN₃X₂].     

Metal complexes of 2-acetylpyridine N(4)-dihexyl- and N(4)-dicyclohexylthiosemicarbazones

Summary 2-Acetylpyridine N(4)-dihexyl- and N(4)-dicyclohexylthiosemicarbazone, HAc4DHex and HAc4DCHex, respectively, and Fe^III, Co^II, Co^III, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II complexes have been prepared and characterized by molar conductivities, magnetic susceptibilities and spectroscopic techniques. For many of the complexes, loss of the N(2)H hydrogen occurs, and the ligands coordinate to the metal centres as NNS monoanionic, tridentate ligands, e.g., [M(NNS)X] (M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, NNS = Ac4DHex or Ac4DCHex and X = Cl or Br), [Fe(NNS)₂]ClO₄, [Co(NNS)₂]BF₄, [Cu(NNS)NO₃] and [Zn(NNS)OAc]. Zn^II ion is also chelated by neutral ligands in [Zn(HNNS)X₂] (X = Cl, Br). In addition, [Ni(Ac4DHex)-(HAc4DHex)]X (X = BF₄, ClO₄) and [Ni(HAc4DCHex)₂]-(BF₄)₂ are reported where the neutral thiosemicarbazone is coordinated via the pyridyl nitrogen, azomethine nitrogen and thione sulfur. Crystal structure determinations of HAc4DCHex and [Cu(Ac4DHex)Br] show the former to contain the bifurcated hydrogen bonded form and the latter to be planar with no significant interaction between neighbouring centres.     

Palladium(II) and platinum(II) halide complexes with 2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-thione

Summary 2,6-Dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-thione (DMTP) acts as a sulphur donor towards Pt^II and Pd^II halides yielding adducts of general formula [M(DMTP)₂X₂] (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl, Br or I). When complex syntheses are performed in benzene, the solvated species [M(DMTP)₂X₂]·C₆H₆ (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) are obtained. The compounds have been characterized by i.r. and n.m.r. (¹H and¹³C) spectroscopy and by thermogravimetric data. The adduct geometry and the influence of benzene are discussed.     

Complexes of 8-Aminoouinoline. II. The Infrared Spectra of the Bisand Mono(Aminoquinoline) Complexes of Metal(II) Halides

Abstract

The infrared spectra of the complexes M(aq)₂(H₂O)₂X₂ (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu; aq = 8-aminoquinoline; X =Cl, Br) have been determined over the range 4000-50 cm^?1. Absence of vM-X bands indicates that the halide is not coordinated to the metal ion and the complexes are correctly formulated [M(aq)₂-(H₂O)₂]X₂. Deuteration of the amino group and the effects of metal ion substitution enable assignment of the vM-NH₂, vM-N and vM-OH₂ modes as well as the amino group vibrations. ¹⁸ O-Labelling assists in identifying the vO-H, vO-H……X and δO-H bands. The spectra are consistent with trans-octahedral coordination and axial bonding of the water molecules. The far infrared spectra of the mono(aminoquinoline) complexes [M(aq)X₂]_n (M = Cu, Zn; X = Cl, Br) are consistent with the proposed structure of polymeric octahedral coordination involving both bridging and terminal M-X bonds. The vM-NH₂, vM-N, vM-X(terminal) and vM-X(bridging) bands are assigned by studying the effects of amino group deuteration, metal ion substitution and halide substitution.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II) and vanadyl(II) complexes of tridentate Schiff bases of 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-3-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-5-(phenylmethylene)-2-naphthalenecarboxamide

Summary Metal(II) chelates of Schiff bases derived from the condensation of 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-3-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-5-(phenylmethylene)-2-naphthalenecarboxamide with o-aminophenol (KAAP), o-aminothiophenol (KAAT) or o-aminobenzoic acid (KAAB) have been prepared and characterized. The complexes are of the type [M(N₂X)]₂ for M = Cu^II and M(NX)₂·nH₂O for M = Ni^II, Co^II and VO^II (X = phenolic oxygen, thiophenolic sulphur or carboxylic oxygen; n = 0 or 2). Conductivity data indicate that the complexes are non-ionic. The Schiff bases behave as dibasic tridentate ligands in their copper(II) complexes and as monobasic bidentate ligands in their nickel(II), cobalt(II) and vanadyl(II) complexes. The subnormal magnetic moments of the copper(II) complexes are ascribed to an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction arising from dimerization. Nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes are trans octahedral whereas vanadyl(II) complexes are square pyramidal     

Isonitrosoacetylacetone dithiosemicarbazone complexes of some first row transition metals

Summary Complexes of the potentially tetradentate ligand isonitroso-acetylacetone dithiosemicarbazone (inbtH₂) of formulae [Ti(inbtH₂)Cl₂]Cl₂, [M(inbt)], where M = V^IV O, Mn^II, Ni^II or Zn^II, [M(inbtH₂)X₂], where M = Co^II and X = Cl, or M = Ni^II and X = Cl, Br or I, and [M(inbtH₂)Cl₂]Cl, where M = Cr^III or Fe^III, have been prepared and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. In all the compounds the metal is coordinated by the thiocarbonyl sulphur and imine nitrogen, as revealed by i.r. studies. The n.m.r. spectra of the complexes of Ni^II and Zn^II confirm coordination through nitrogen. Possible structures for the complexes are proposed. The Mössbauer spectrum of the Fe^III complex is discussed.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of 3d-metal complexes of pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde thionicotinoyl hydrazone

Summary Pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde thionicotinoyl hydrazone (4-PTNH) forms 1:1 adducts with metal(II) halides and 1:2 complexes (metal to ligand) with metal(II) thiocyanates. Magnetic and spectral studies indicate polymeric octahedral geometry for M(4-PTNH)X₂ (M=Co^II or Cu^II, X=Cl; M=Ni^II, X=Cl, Br or I), five coordinate geometry for Co(4-PTNH)X₂ (X=Br or I) and octahederal geometry for [M(4-PTNH)₂(NCS)₂] (M=Co^II or Ni^II). I.r. spectral studies show that 4-PTNH acts as a neutral bidentate ligand in all the complexes, the bonding sites being the thione sulphur and azomethine nitrogen.     

Complexes of Group 12 Metal Dihalides with 2‐Acetylpyridine‐N‐oxide 4N‐methylthiosemicarbazone (H4MLO). The Crystal Structures and Organization of [Zn(H4MLO)X2] (X = Br,I)

Reaction of group 12 metal dihalides with 2‐acetylpyridine‐N‐oxide ⁴N‐methylthiosemicarbazone (H4MLO) in ethanol afforded compounds [M(H4MLO)X₂] (M = Zn^II, Cd^II, Hg^II; X = Cl, Br, I), the structures of which were characterized by elemental analysis and by IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the complexes of ZnBr₂ and ZnI₂ were analysed structurally by X‐ray diffractometry. In [Zn(H4MLO)Br₂] the ligand is O,N,S‐tridentate and the metal is pentacoordinated, while in [Zn(H4MLO)I₂] the thiosemicarbazone is S,O‐bis‐monodentate and the Zn^II cation has a distorted tetrahedral coordination polyhedron. In assays of antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Paecilomyces variotii, only the mercury compounds showed any activity, and only [Hg(H4MLO)Cl₂] and [Hg(H4MLO)I₂] were competitive with nystatin against A. niger.

Die 1:2-Komplexe Zn(DMTU)₂X₂, Cd(DMTU)₂X₂ (X ? Cl, Br, J) und Hg(DMTU)₂J₂ sind tetraedrisch, während die Komplexe Hg(DMTU)₂X₂ (X ? Cl, Br) eine pseudooktaedrische Halogen-verbrückte Konfiguration zu haben scheinen. Die 1:1 Hg^II-Komplexe [HgDMTUX₂]₂ (X ? Cl, Br, J) haben im festen Zustand eine dimere tetraedrische Halogen-verbrückte Struktur. In allen diesen Komplexen ist N,N′-Dimethylthioharnstoff über den Schwefel am Metall gebunden.     

Interaction of manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) with acetylhydrazine, formed in situ; first crystal structure of tris(acetylhydrazine) nickel(II) perchlorate

A series of transition metal complexes of the type [M(ah)₃](ClO₄)₂ (1–6) [M = Mn^II, Fe^II, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II, ah = acetylhydrazine] have been prepared by the reaction of M(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O with acetylhydrazine formed in situ by the reaction of hydrazine hydrate and acetylsalicylic acid methyl ester. The chelating behaviour of acetylhydrazine and overall geometry of these complexes have been spectroscopically investigated by means of FT-IR, ¹H-n.m.r. and electronic spectral techniques, as well as by elemental analysis data, molar conductance values and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Single X-ray structure determination of complex (4) revealed three acetylhydrazine ligands coordinated to nickel ion in a bidentate manner maintaining an octahedral environment. In all other complexes too, an octahedral geometry has been proposed on the basis of results obtained by various physico-chemical studies.
