Copper(II) complexes of diaminodiamides in aqueous solution

The basicity constants of N,N′-bis(β-carbamoylethyl)ethylenediamine, N,N′-bis(β-carbamoylethyl)trimethylenediamine, N,N′-bis(β-carbamoylethyl)-1,2-propylenediamine, and N,N′-bis-(β-carbamoylethyl)-2-hydroxyltrimethylenediamine were determined potentiometrically in 0.10 mol dm^?3 NaNO₃ at 25.0°C. The formation of Cu(II) complexes of these ligands and the CuO to CuN bond rearrangements at the two amide sites of these complexes were investigated quantitatively by potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques under the same conditions. Electronic spectra of the Cu(II) complexes of these ligands and their deprotonated species formed in aqueous solution were measured and discussed.     

Novel 3,3′-(alkanediyl)bis-(2,2,2-triaryl-1-oxa-2-stiba-3-azabenzo[d]cyclohex-5-enes)

The hitherto unreported compounds of general structure 3,3′-(alkanediyl)bis-(2,2,2-triaryl-1-oxa-2-stiba-3-azabenzo[d]cyclohex-5-ene) have been synthesized in 48-56% yields by the cyclization of the tetrasodium salt of N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2-diaminoethane(II) or of N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,3-diaminopropane(II*) with R₃SbBr₂ (R = phenyl, p-tolyl, or mesityl). The tetrasodium salts were prepared by the reactions of the corresponding amines with sodium hydride. The amines (II and II*), in turn, were obtained by the sodium borohydride reduction of N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-diaminoethane and N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-1,3,-diaminopropane, respectively. The heterocyclic compounds are air stable and moisture insensitive. These compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, and by IR, far IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectral studies. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Copper(II) Complexes of N,N′-Bis-βCarbamoylethyl) Ethylenediamine in Aqueous Solution

The interactions of the ligand N, N -bis-(β-carbamoylethyl)-ethylenediamine (BCEN) with copper (II) in aqueous solution have been investigated by potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques. The two protonation constants of the ligand at 25° in 0.2 M NaNO₃are 10^5-51and 10^5-44 The quantitative equilibrium studies of the stepwise reactions which precede the formation of CuBCEN²⁺ and the Cu-O to Cu-N bond rearrangements at the two amide sites are described in detail. Electronic spectra of the copper (II) chelates formed are measured and discussed.     

Copper(II) complexes of 2-carbamoylethyl derivatives of linear diamines. Crystallographic evidence for amido oxygen binding prior to deprotonation of amide nitrogens

There has been considerable interest in the coordination chemistry of linear and macrocyclic amides⁽¹⁾. Deprotonation of the amide nitrogen is known to occur with various metal ions and the sites of coordination are generally considered to be the carbonyl oxygen prior to deprotonation and the amide nitrogen after deprotonation. However, oxygen binding has generally been inferred from indirect evidence^(2,3). We now report the results of some studies on the interaction of copper(II) with a series of 2-carbamoylethyl derivatives of linear diamines, namelyN,N′-bis(2-carbamoylethyl)ethylenediamine (1),N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-carbamoylethyl)ethylenediamine (2)N,N′-bis(2-carbamoylethyl)trimethylenediamine (3) andN,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-carbamoylethyl)trimethylenediamine (4) which confirm carbonyl oxygen binding prior to amide deprotonation.     

Über die Si3-N-bindung: XXXV. Darstellung von N-β-halogenäthyl-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aminen

N-β-Haloethyl-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)amines, which can be used for the introduction of aminoethyl groups into organic or organosilicon compounds, are prepared in good yields from N-trimethylsilylaziridine and trimethylhalosilanes. This reaction is spontaneous with trimethylbromo- and -iodosilane, whereas it is necessary to run the reactions with trimethylchlorosilane in the presence of dipolar aprotic solvents and at higher temperatures.N-β-Bromoethyl-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)amine (II) is also obtained by silylation of N-β-bromoethylamine hydrobromide with trimethylsilyldiethylamine or with N-trimethylsilyl-N-methyl acetamide. Furthermore N-β-iodoethyl-N,N- bis(trimethylsilyl)amine is prepared by the reaction of II with MgI₂ or of aziridine and N-trimethylsilylaziridine respectively, with trimethylchlorosilane and MgI₂.From the silylation of N-β-bromoethylamine hydrobromide with trimethylsilyldiethylamine N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)-N′,N′-diethylethylenediamine is isolated as a side product or, at higher temperatures, as the main product.     

Effects of Ring Size on Spectral Properties of Copper(II)-Diaminodiamide Complexes in Aqueous Solution

The electronic absorption spectra of aqueous solutions containing copper(II) ion and N, N′-bis(carbamoylmethyl)trimethylenediamine(L-1, 3, 1) at 25.0 ± 0.1°C and 0.10 mol L^?1 NaClO₄, were measured as a function of pH. The absorption maxima and the molar absorptivities of [Cu(L-l, 3, l)]²⁺, [Cu(H.₁L-1, 3, 1)]⁺, and [Cu(H_-2L-l, 3, l)] were calculated from these spectra. A comparison of the spectral parameters of these complexes with those of the copper(lI)-diaminodiamide complexes containing 6, 5, 6-and 6, 6, 6-membered ring systems indicates that the chelate ring size has significant effects on these spectral parameters.     

The copper(II) complexes with tetradentate Schiff base ligands: Synthesis, crystal structures, and computational studies

Mononuclear copper(II) Schiff base complexes, Cu(BrSal₂Pn) (I) and Cu(BrSal₂MePn) (II), where BrSal₂Pn = N,N′-bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)propane-1,3-diamine and BrSal₂MePn = N,N′-bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Also, the optimized geometries of them have been calculated using density functional theory method (B3LYP/6–31g). Obtained structural parameters are in agreement with the experimental data. The geometry around the copper atoms display a distorted square-planner structure by coordinating with two oxygen atoms from the phenols moieties and two nitrogen atoms from the imino groups of ligands and thus established three 6-membered rings.     

TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES OF OLIGOTHIOETHER QUINOLYLOXY TERMINATED PODANDS: PART 2. CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF (1,8-BIS(QUINOLYLOXY)-3,6-DITHIAOCTANE)-COPPER(II) DIPERCHLORATE TRIHYDRATE

Abstract

The synthesis of the new ligand 1,8-bis(quinolyloxy)-3,6-dithiaoctane (1) and the corresponding Cu(II), Cu(I) and Co(II) complexes is reported. The crystal and molecular structure of the copper(II) complex, [Cu(1)](ClO₄)₂.3H₂O, has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fddd, with cell data Z = 16, a = 20.326(2), b = 20.879(3) and c = 28.308(4)Å. The structure consists of discrete [Cu(1)]^?2+ cations separated by (structurally disordered) perchlorate anions and three lattice water molecules per cation. The coordination geometry about the copper atom is pseudo-octahedral with the quinoline nitrogen and thioether sulfur atoms at the equatorial positions and the ether oxygen atoms at the axial positions. ¹H NMR line-broadening experiments indicate that electron-transfer self-exchange reactions between the copper(I) and copper(II) complexes of (1) is immeasurably slow on the NMR time-scale. The coordination chemistry of (1) is compared with its oxygen analogue, 1,8-bis(quinolyloxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane.     

Binuclear Copper(II) Complexes. N,N′-bis(3-aminopropyl)-oxamidatocopper(II) coordinated as a bidentate ligand

Four new binuclear copper(II) complexes having sub-normal magnetic moment have been synthesized by reaction of N, N′-bis(3-aminopropyl)-oxamidatocopper(II) with another copper(II) compound such as mono- and bis-(2,2′-bipyridine)-copper(II) nitrate, cupric mono-malonate, or cupric chloride. One of them, [Cu₂(APxd)(bipy)₂](NO₃)₂(cf. Fig. 2), was recognized to be a binuclear complex in which each copper(II) ion has a five-coordinated environment. The data from analyses, IR and electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and conductivity measurements were used to establish the structures.     

Binuclear Copper(II) Complexes in which other copper(II) complexes are coordinated as bidentate ligands

Twelve new copper(II) complexes in which N,N′-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-oxamidatocopper(II) or N,N′-bis(2-pyridylethyl)-oxamidatocopper(II) coordinates as a bidentate ligand have been isolated and characterized. These complexes have a structure bridged by the oxamide group (including two tetranuclear complexes formed by olation of two binuclear complexes, of. Fig. 1), and possess Cu? Cu interaction resulting in a sub-normal magnetic moment at room temperature. In one of them, [Cu₂(PMoxd) (bipy)₂] (NO₃)₂ (cf. Fig. 2), each copper(II) ion has a five-coordinated environment.     

Magnetic Properties and Mössbauer Spectra of Binuclear Copper(II) and Tetranuclear Diiron(III)-porphyrin-dicopper(II) Complexes with Schiff-Base Ligands of 2-lmidazolealdehyde and Acetylpyrazine

The binuclear copper(II) and tetranuclear diiron(III)-porphyrin-dicopper(II) complexes with the Schiff-base ligands of N,N′-bis(2-imidazolaldehyde)ethylenediimine, N,N′-bis(2-imidazolaldehyde)-p-phenyldiimine, N,N-bis(acetylpyrazine)-ethylenediimine and N,N′-bis(acetylpyrazine)-p-phenyldiimine have been prepared and characterized. The magnetic data indicated that the spin ground states and the magneic interaction between Cu(II)-Cu(II) or Fe(III)-Cu(II) are dependent on the nature of the bridging ligands. A weak antiferromagnetic interaction between Fe(III) and Cu(II) is evident from the temperature-dependent magnetic measurements. The Mössbauer spectra of iron(III) -porphyrin sites showed an asymmetric quadrupole doublet consistent with high-spin iron(III) S = 5/2.     

An N2O2 Tetradentate Ligand 6,6′-Bis(Acylamino)-2,2′-Bipyridine. Oxidation-Reduction Properties of Cobalt Complexes

Abstract

Recently, we reported the syntheses and the properties of a new type of N₂O₂ tetradentate ligands, 6,6′-bis(acylamino)-2,2′-bipyridines and their copper(II) complexes. ¹. These ligands form two different types of square-planar complexes, i.e., Type 1 and Type 2, depending on the pH of the solution. ^1,2 In addition, the deprotonated complexes (Type 2) are suggested to have strong ligand field, and are regarded as analogues of salen complexes. In this paper, we report syntheses and properties of cobalt complexes of 6,6′-bis(benzoylamino)-2,2′-bipyridine (babpH₂), and the interaction of the Type 2 complex with molecular oxygen.     

Synthesis,characterization, catalase functions and DNA cleavage studies of new homo and heteronuclear Schiff base copper(II) complexes

A new tetradentate diimine–dioxime ligand containing a donor set of N₄, and its homo-, heterodinuclear and homotrinuclear copper(II) complexes were prepared and characterized on the basis of their elemental analysis, FT-IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, molar conductivity and magnetic moment measurements. The extraction ability of N,N′′-bis[1-biphenyl-2-hydroxyimino-1-ethylidene]-diethylenetriamine was also evaluated in chloroform by using several transition metal picrates such as Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II). It has been seen that the ligand shows strong binding ability toward the copper(II) ion. Moreover, the catalytic activities of the complexes for the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide were investigated in the presence of imidazole. The synthesized complexes display efficiency in the disproportion reactions of hydrogen peroxide, producing water and dioxygen in catalase-like activity. The interaction between these complexes and DNA has also been investigated by agarose gel electrophoresis. We found that the homo- and heterodinuclear copper complexes can cleave supercoiled pBR322 DNA to nicked and linear forms. The dinuclear complexes including phenanthroline (2–4), with H₂O₂ as a co-oxidant, exhibited the strongest cleaving activity.     

Synthesis, characterization, electrochemical studies, and antibacterial activities of cobalt(III) complexes with Salpn-Tipe Schiff base ligands. Crystal structure of trans-[CoIII(L1)(Py)2]ClO4

The synthesis, characterization, spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of trans-[Co^III(L¹)(Py)₂]ClO₄ (I) and trans-[Co^III(L²)(Py)₂]ClO₄ (II) complexes, where H₂L¹ = N,N′-bis(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,3-propylenediamine and H₂L² = N,N′-bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,3-propylenediamine, have been investigated. Both complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of I has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The coordination geometry around cobalt(III) ion is best described as a distorted octahedron. The electrochemical studies of these complexes revealed that the first reduction process corresponding to Co(III/II) is electrochemically irreversible accompanied by dissociation of the axial Co-N(Py) bonds. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the Schiff bse ligands and their corrsponding complexes have been tested against human pathogenic bacterias such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. The cobalt(III) complexes showed lower antimicrobial activity than the free Schiff base ligands.     

Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure and antimicrobial activities of new transN,N-substituted macrocyclic dioxocyclam and their copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes

New trans-disubstituted macrocyclic ligands, 1,8-[N,N-bis(3-formyl-12-hydroxy-5-methyl)benzyl]-5,12-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (L¹), 1,8-[N,N-bis(3-formyl-12-hydroxy-5-bromo)benzyl]-5,12-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (L²), N,N-bis[1,8-dibenzoyl]-5,12-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (L³), N,N-bis[1,8-(2-nitrobenzoyl)]-5,12-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (L⁴), and N,N-bis[1,8-(4-nitrobenzoyl)]-5,12-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (L⁵) were synthesized. The ligands were characterized by elemental analysis, FT IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectrometry studies. The crystal structure of L¹ is also reported. The copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of these ligands were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FT IR, UV-Vis and mass spectral studies. The cyclic voltammogram of the complexes of ligand L^1-3 show one-electron quasi-reversible reduction wave in the region −0.65 to −1.13 V, whereas that of L⁴ and L⁵ show two quasi-reversible reduction peaks. Nickel(II) complexes show one electron quasi-reversible oxidation wave at a positive potential in the range +0.95 to +1.06 V. The ESR spectra of the mononuclear copper(II) complexes show four lines, characteristic of square-planar geometry with nuclear hyperfine spin 3/2. All copper(II) complexes show a normal room temperature magnetic moment value μ_eff 1.70-1.73 BM which is close to the spin only value of 1.73 BM. Kinetic studies on the oxidation of pyrocatechol to o-quinone using the copper(II) complexes as catalysts and hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenylphosphate using the copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes as catalysts were carried out. The ligands and their complexes were also screened for antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and human pathogenic fungi.     

Dinuclear Nickel(II) and Zinc(II) Complexes of 2,6-[N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyphenylmethyl)-N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol

Abstract

The symmetric 'end-off' compartmental proligand 2,6-[N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-phenylmethyl)-N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol (H₃L) has been used to generate homodinuclear nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes. The crystal structures of the complexes reveal that the di-nickel(II) complex is donor asymmetric and the di-zinc(II) complex is coordination number asymmetric. In both complexes non-coordinated acetic acid molecules are tightly hydrogen-bonded to the pendant phenols of the ligand generating a double acid salt of the type[CH₃COO…H…L…H…OOCCH₃]^3? in the dinickel complex and a single acid salt of the type [CH₃COO…H…L]^3? in the dizinc complex. In both cases the ligand periphery has been extended to provide a supraligand in which the donor potential of the original ligand has been enhanced.     

Synthesis of some alkylaminothiophene derivatives from 3,4-dibromothiophene and their theoretical calculations

In this study, the copper catalyzed amination reactions of 3,4-dibromothiophene with some primary, cyclic and acyclic secondary amines were investigated to prepare novel electron rich-thiophenes which are expected to be used as novel N-containing donor type monomer candidates for conductive polymers. In order to obtain better yields, this S_NAr type amination reaction was optimized by studying the reaction conditions, such as the copper catalyst, the type of copper source, the presence of a base and the type of the solvent on the model reaction between 3,4-dibromothiophene and n-butylamine. A variety of 3,4-(N,N′-dialkylamino)thiophenes and 3-(N-alkylamino)thiophenes were synthesized in moderate yields under the optimized reaction conditions. In addition, two new heterocyclothiophene derivatives were successfully prepared from the cyclization reaction of 3,4-bis(N-butylamino)thiophene. The characterization of the isolated alkylaminothiophenes was performed by FTIR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, GCMS and elemental analysis. The theoretical calculations for all alkylaminothiophenes were executed by using the DFT/B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) approach.     

Synthesis and Characterization of 2-Arylseleno-2-chloro-1,2,3-triorgano-1,3,2λ5-diazaphosphetidin-4-ones

The reactions of N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea 8 and N-methyl-N′-phenyl-N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea 9 with phenylselenenyl chloride 6 and p-chlorophenylselenenyl chloride 7 furnished the N-arylseleno-N,N′-diorgano-N′-(trimethylsilyl)ureas 10–13 . The reactions of 10–13 with MePCl₂ and PhPCl₂ resulted in the formation of a new class of compounds, the 2-arylseleno-2-chloro-1,2,3-triorgano-1,3,2λ⁵-diazaphosphetidin-4-ones 14–19 . The new selenophosphoranes 20 and 21 were obtained in the reaction of 15 and 17 with p-nitrophenol in the presence of triethylamine. The identity and structure of the new compounds were established by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, ³¹P- and ⁷⁷Se-NMR spectroscopy in the case of the selenophosphoranes 14–21 , and mass spectrometry in the case of 11 and 13 . A possible mechanism of the reaction leading to the selenophosphoranes is discussed. Single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of the selenophosphoranes 19 and 20 were conducted. Both display distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry at phosphorus, the major distortions being imposed by the four-membered rings.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,antibacterial activities,and DNA-binding studies of a new μ-oxamido-bridged binuclear copper(II) complex

A new μ-oxamido-bridged dicopper(II) complex, Cu₂(heap)(NO₃)₂ (1), where heap is the dianion of N,N′-bis(N-hydroxyethylaminopropyl)oxamide, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR and electronic spectral studies, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The complex consists of a neutral centro-symmetric binuclear copper(II) unit with an inversion center at the midpoint of the Cl?Clⁱ bond. The copper(II) has square-pyramidal coordination geometry and the bridging heap adopts a bis-tetradentate conformation. The binuclear units are linked into a 3-D framework by N?H ··· O, O?H ··· O, and C?H ··· O hydrogen bonds. Due to weak coordination between copper(II) and nitrate, the neutral dicopper(II) units are present as binuclear cations and nitrate anions in solution. Antibacterial assays indicate that the complex shows better activity than the ligand. Interactions of the complex with herring sperm DNA (HS-DNA) have been investigated by using cyclic voltammetry, UV absorption titrations, ethidium bromide fluorescence displacement experiments, and viscometry measurements. The results suggest that the binuclear copper(II) complex interacts with HS-DNA by electrostatic interaction with intrinsic binding constant of 3.33 × 10⁴ M^?1.     

Highly Stereoselective Photochemical Oxidative Addition Reactions. Preliminary Communication

Cyclometallated complexes of the type cis-bis(2-phenylpyridine)platinum(II) (C₂₂H₁₆N₂Pt) and cis-bis(2-(2′-thienyl)pyridine)platinum(II) (C₁₈H₁₂N₂S₂Pt) undergo thermal or photochemical oxidative addition (TOA or POA) reactions with a number of substrates. TOA (with CH₃I, CH₃CH₂I etc.) yield mixtures of several isomers which rearrange slowly (within ca. one week at room temperature) to one of the possible cis-isomers. CH₂Cl₂, CHCl₃, or (E)? ClCH?CHCl, e.g., do not react thermally. POA yield directly complexes of Pt(IV) with the halide and a σ-bonded C-atom in cis-position. The configuration, as assigned by extensive use of ¹H-NMR data, can be characterized for the two chelating ligands C …? N and C′ …? N′ by C,C′-cis; N,N′-cis and C(chelate), Cl-trans.
