Synthesis of dinitroxylcis-diaminoplatinum(ii) complexes and their interaction with DNA

Dinitroxyl complexes of platinum,cis-Pt^II(APO)₂X₂, where APO is 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl, were obtained by either a direct reaction of APO with K₂PtX₄ (X=Cl or I) or a replacement of iodide ligands incis-Pt^II(APO)₂I₂ by nitrate and oxalate ligands. The interation of water-solublecis-Pt^II(APO)₂(NO₃)₂ with, ox spleen DNA resulted in platinated DNA with a degree of modification (r)-7 times lower than that obtained withcis-Pt^II(NH₃)₂Cl₂ (cisplatin). Melting pointT _m, melting range ΔT, and the degree of hyperchromicity ΔH for platinated DNA showed that for equalr values, thecis-Pt^II(APO)₂—DNA adducts increase heterogeneity in the DNA structure much more effectively than thecis-Pt^II(NH₃)₂—DNA adducts. Poor platinating activity, substantial disturbance of the DNA structure, as well as low toxicity and moderate antitumor activity ofcis-Pt^II(APO)₂X₂ complexes are probably explained by steric hindrances caused by two bulky APO ligands.

Kinetics and mechanism of catalytic oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds with dioxygen in the Pd-containing aqua system

The oxidation of lower aliphatic alcohols C₁–C₄ with dioxygen to form the corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of the PdII tetraaqua complexes and Fe^II-Fe^III aqua ions in an aqueous medium was studied at 40–80 °C. The introduction of an aromatic compound (acetophenone, benzonitrile, phenylacetonitrile, o-cyanotoluene, nitrobenzene) and Fe^II aqua ion instead of the Fe^III aqua ion into the reaction system increases substantially the catalytic activity and the yield of the carbonyl compound. The key role of the Pd species in the intermediate oxidation state stabilized by the aromatic additive in the catalytic cycle of alcohol oxidation with dioxygen to the carbonyl compound was shown. An increase in the kinetic isotope effect with an increase in the temperature of methanol oxidation indicates a change in the rate-determining step of alcohol oxidation with dioxygen in the presence of Pd^II-Fe^II-Fe^III and the aromatic compound. At temperatures below 60 °C, the catalytically active palladium species are mainly formed upon the reduction of the Pd^II tetraaqua complex with the Fe^II aqua ion, whereas at higher temperatures the reaction between the alcohol and Pd^II predominates. The mechanism and kinetic equation of the process were proposed. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 842–848, May, 2007.     

Effect of the degree of sulfoethylation of polyethylenimine on the selectivity of sorption of palladium(ii) from binary solutions

Poly(N-2-sulfoethylethylenimine) (SEPEI) with a degree of modification equal to 0.30, 0.58, and 0.74, cross-linked with diethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, demonstrates efficient sorption properties with respect to Pt^IV, Pd^II, and Au^III ions. The selectivity coefficient K_Pd/Au in a HCl solution with pH 0.8 decreases from 90 to 61, and the selectivity coefficient K_Pd/Pt in a HCl solution with pH 3.9 increases from 0.94 to 480 with an increasing degree of modification. A thiourea hydrochloric acid solution effectively removes metal ions; the desorption of Pt^IV, Pd^II, and Au^III from the SEPEI surface reaches 100, 96.9, and 83.8%, respectively.

     

Synthesis and electrochemical study of 3- and 4-(2-pyridyl)-1,3-benzothiazole complexes with transition metals (CoII, NiII, and CuII). Molecular structure of bis{(4-(2-pyridyl)-1,3-benzothiazole)copper(ii)} tetraacetate

A series of the M(L)Cl₂ · nH₂O and {M(L)}₂(OAc)₄ complexes (M = Ni^II, Co^II, and Cu^II; L is 3- and 4-(2-pyridyl)-1,3-benzothiazole) were synthesized by the reaction of L with MX₂ · nH₂O (X = Cl, OAc) in ethanol. The molecular and crystal structures of the CuL₂(OAc)₄ binuclear complex (L is 4-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole) were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The copper atoms have a distorted tetragonal bipyramidal environment and are coordinated to the nitrogen atom of the pyridine moiety of the ligand and to two oxygen atoms of the bridging acetate ligands. The Cu-Cu distance is 2.6129(9) Å. The electrochemical behavior of the synthesized ligands and complexes was studied using the cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode techniques in DMF solutions (0.1 M Bu₄NClO₄). The primary reduction of all the complexes under study is directed to the metal.     

Reduction of nitrosoarene ligands in binuclear palladium(ii) complexes

Reduction of the binuclear Pd^II complexes Pd₂(OCOR)₂(o-CH₂C₆H₄—NO)₂ (1) and Pd₂(OCOR)₂(o-PhN—C₆H₄—NO)₂ (2) (where R = Me, CF₃, Bu^t, or Ph) by sodium borohydride, an ethanolic solution of KOH, or molecular hydrogen was examined. The first stage of reduction was demonstrated to afford metallic palladium and aromatic amines, viz., o-toluidine o-Me—C₆H₄—NH₂ from complex 1 and aniline Ph—NH₂ from complex 2. The reactions with molecular hydrogen involve deeper stages to yield cyclic ketones (o-methylcyclohexanone and cyclohexanone) and then cycloalkanes (methylcyclohexane and cyclohexane, respectively). The latter reactions are accompanied by elimination of N₂. The mechanism of reduction of complexes 1 and 2 with molecular hydrogen was proposed.     

Synthesis and electrochemical study of 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole complexes with transition metals (CoII, NiII, and CuII). Molecular structure of aquabis[2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole]copper(II) diperchlorate

The reactions of 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (1) with MX₂·nH₂O salts (M = Ni^II, Co^II, or Cu^II; X = Cl or ClO₄; n = 0–2) in EtOH afforded the corresponding complexes. Depending on the nature of the counterion in the starting metal salt, the reactions give compounds of composition M(1)Cl₂·nH₂O or Cu(1)₂(ClO₄)₂·H₂O. The molecular and crystal structure of the Cu^II(1)₂(ClO₄)₂·H₂O complex was established by X-ray diffraction. The copper atom in this complex has a distorted tetragonal-pyramidal ligand environment and is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two ligand molecules and one water molecule. Electrochemical study of the ligand and the resulting complexes by cyclic voltammetry and at a rotating disk electrode demonstrated that ligand 1 stabilizes reduced forms of complexes containing Ni, Co, or Cu atoms in the oxidation state +1.

Kinetics and mechanism of palladium(II) catalyzed chromium(VI) oxidation of mercury(I) in aqueous sulphuric acid

The Cr^VI oxidation of Hg^I in an aqueous acid medium occurs to a modest extent only in presence of Pd^II and in H₂SO₄ above ca. 0.20 mol dm^–3. The reaction is first order in [Cr^VI] in the presence of Pd^II catalyst. The order in [Hg^I] is less than unity, whereas that in [Pd^II] is unity. Increase in [H₂SO₄] accelerates the reaction rate. The added products, Cr^III and Hg^II, do not significantly effect the reaction rate. A mechanism involving HCrO₄ ^– and PdCl⁺ as the reactive species of oxidant and catalyst respectively, is proposed. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism have been evaluated.     

Potentiometric studies of the interaction of amine-bridged dinuclear palladium(II) complex with nitrogen bases

Complexes formed by interaction of trans-diamminepalladium(II) chloride (Pd^II) with 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA) and nitrogen bases (B) (imidazole derivatives or methylamine) are investigated at 25°C and 0.1?mol?L^?1 NaNO₃ ionic strength using potentiometric measurements. The stability constants of all possible mononuclear and binuclear complexes were determined. The concentration distribution diagram of the binuclear Pd^II-HDA-Im derivative reveals the complexes predominating in the physiological pH range; the reaction of the binuclear Pd^II-HDA-Pd^II with imidazole derivatives is quite feasible.

Complexes of nickel(II) and palladium(II) with thiobenzamide

Summary The electronic and vibrational spectra of Ni^II and Pd^II complexes with thiobenzamide, L, are discussed. L acts as a sulphur donor ligand. The Pd^II compounds and (NiL₄)(ClO₄)₂ are square planar. PdL₂Cl₂ has acis-structure, while PdL₂X₂ (X=Br or I) istrans; NiL₄Cl₂ istrans-octahedral. The i.r. bands due to(M.S) and(MX) have been assigned. The influence of the anions on the properties of the complexes, both in solution and in the solid state, is discussed.     

On the nature of the chemical bond in heterobimetallic palladium(II) complexes with divalent 3<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis> metals

The complex Pd(μ-OOCMe)₄Cu(OH₂) · 2Pd₃(μ-OOCMe)₆ was synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. In the heterometallic moiety of this complex, the Pd^II and Cu^II atoms are at an extraordinary short distance (2.521(3) Å). DFT quantum-chemical calculations of the geometric and electronic structure of a series of heterobinuclear paddlewheel complexes Pd^IIM^II(μ-OOCMe)₄L (M = Zn^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, Co^II, Fe^II; L = OH₂ and NCH) and their formate analogues Pd^IIM^II(μ-OOCH)₄L (M = Zn^II, Ni^II, Fe^II) showed that the extraordinary short Pd?M distance in all these complexes is caused only by the tightening effect of carboxylate bridges rather than by the metal-metal bond. The direct Pd-M interaction becomes possible only after removal of electrons from the antibonding orbitals and formation of oxidized complexes of the [Pd^III(μ-OOCMe)₄Ni^III]²⁺ type.     

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.

Osmium(VIII)/palladium(II) catalysis of cerium(IV) oxidation of allyl alcohol in aqueous acid

Summary Catalysis of the Ce^IV-allyl alcohol (AA) reaction in acid solution depends both on the of rate enhancement and product distribution on the catalyst used: Os^VIII results mainly in acrolein, whereas Pd^II gives acrylic acid. The rate laws in the two cases also differ:viz., Equations 1 and 2K₁ is the equilibrium constant of formation of the Os^VIII-allyl alcohol complex and k₁ is the rate constant of its oxidation by Ce^IV; K₂ is the equilibrium constant for the formation of the Ce^IV-Pd^II-allyl alcohol complex and k₂ is its rate constant of decomposition. Rate = K₁k₁[Ce^IV][AA][Os^VIII]/(1+K₁[AA]) (1) Rate = K₁k₁[Ce^IV][Pd^II]/(1+K₂[Ce^IV]) (2)While Os^VIII is effective in H₂SO₄ solution, aqueous HClO₄ is needed for Pd^II. Both reactions proceed through formation of catalyst-allyl alcohol complexes with participation of free radicals. The details of these observations are discussed.     

Kinetics and mechanism of hydrogen peroxide decomposition in the presence of the tetraaquapalladium(<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">II</Emphasis>) complex

Kinetics of hydrogen peroxide decomposition in the presence of the tetraaquapalladium(II) complex in an aqueous solution at 40–70 °C was studied. The reaction rate is the first order with respect to the concentration of both Pd^II and H₂O₂ and the negative first order with respect to perchloric acid. Using free radicals traps, the reaction mechanism was found to differ from the traditional free-radical mechanism known for d-metal aqua ions and proceeds without generation of hydroxyl radicals. The kinetic data obtained suggest a mechanism involving the formation of an intermediate palladium complex with oxygen. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

anti-Bis(μ-2-ammonio­ethane­thiol­ato-κ2S:S)­bis­[di­chloro­palladium(II)] dihydrate

Each of two square-planar Pd^II ions in the title compound, [Pd₂Cl₄(μ-Haet-S)₂]·2H₂O (Haet = 2-ammonio­ethane­thiol­ate, C₂H₇NS), which was obtained by rearrangement of [Pd₂{Pd(aet-N,S)₂}₄]⁴⁺ in acidic solution, is coordinated by two bridging S atoms from two Haet ligands and by two terminal Cl atoms, forming the dinuclear structure. Since the complex is situated on a center of symmetry, the two monodentate Haet arms are located on opposite sides of the central Pd₂S₂ square plane, i.e. the present complex is the anti isomer. The S—C—C—N torsion angle is 177.3 (6)° and some intermolecular hydrogen bonds are observed.     

Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of complexes of 1,2-bis[2-(pyridylmethylideneamino)phenylthio]ethanes with transition metals (CoII, NiII, CuII)

Transition metal (Ni^II, Co^II, and Cu^II) complexes with 1,2-bis[2-(3-pyridylmethylideneamino)phenylthio]ethane (1) and 1,2-bis[2-(4-pyridylmethylideneamino)phenylthio]ethane (2) were synthesized for the first time by slow diffusion of solutions of compounds 1 or 2 in CH₂Cl₂ into solutions of MX₂ · nH₂O (M = Ni, Co, or Cu; X = Cl or NO₃; n = 2 or 6) in ethanol. The reactions with Co^II and Cu^II chlorides afford complexes of composition M(L)Cl₂ (L = 1 or 2). The reactions of compound 1 with Ni^II salts produce complexes with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenylthio)ethane. The molecular structure of dinitrato[1,2-bis(2-aminophenylthio)ethane]nickel(ii) was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The ligands and the complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. The initial reduction of the complexes proceeds at the metal atom. The oxidation of the chlorine-containing complexes proceeds at the coordinated chloride anion. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A trinuclear palladium(II) complex containing N,S‐coordinating 2‐(benzylsulfanyl)anilinide and 1,3‐benzothiazole‐2‐thiolate ligands with a central square‐planar PdN4 motif

The reaction of dichlorido(cod)palladium(II) (cod = 1,5‐cyclooctadiene) with 2‐(benzylsulfanyl)aniline followed by heating in N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) produces the linear trinuclear Pd₃ complex bis(μ₂‐1,3‐benzothiazole‐2‐thiolato)bis[μ₂‐2‐(benzylsulfanyl)anilinido]dichloridotripalladium(II) N,N‐dimethylformamide disolvate, [Pd₃(C₇H₄NS₂)₂(C₁₃H₁₂NS)₂Cl₂]·2C₃H₇NO. The molecule has symmetry and a Pd...Pd separation of 3.2012 (4) Å. The outer Pd^II atoms have a square‐planar geometry formed by an N,S‐chelating 2‐(benzylsulfanyl)anilinide ligand, a chloride ligand and the thiolate S atom of a bridging 1,3‐benzothiazole‐2‐thiolate ligand, while the central Pd^II core shows an all N‐coordinated square‐planar geometry. The geometry is perfectly planar within the PdN₄ core and the N—Pd—N bond angles differ significantly [84.72 (15)° for the N atoms of ligands coordinated to the same outer Pd atom and 95.28 (15)° for the N atoms of ligands coordinated to different outer Pd atoms]. This trinuclear Pd₃ complex is the first example of one in which 1,3‐benzothiazole‐2‐thiolate ligands are only N‐coordinated to one Pd centre. The 1,3‐benzothiazole‐2‐thiolate ligands were formed in situ from 2‐(benzylsulfanyl)aniline.     

Molecular structure of the cobalt(ii) chloride complex with triphenyl-N-(2-pyrimidyl)phosphineimine

An X-ray structural study of the cobalt(ii) chloride complex with triphenyl-N-(2-pyrimidyl)phosphineimine has been performed (automatic diffractometer, Mo-–K , 2916 observed reflections, the heavy-atom method, the least squares method in anisotropicisotropic approximation toR=0.043). The crystals are monoclinic,a=15.979(6) Å,b=17.391(6) Å,c=14.976(6) Å, =104.21(2)°,V=4034(5) ų,d _calc=1.384 g cm^–3,Z=4, space groupP2₁/c. The Co atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination by two Cl atoms (2.268(2) Å and 2.278(3) Å) and two N atoms (2.030(4) Å and 2.025(5) Å) of the two pyrimidine heterocycles. The Cl-Co-Cl and N-Co-N bond angles are equal to 107.7(1)° and 123.4(2)°, respectively. Additional weak coordination of the Co atom by two N atoms of the imine groups [Co...N 2.982(4) Å and 3.045(4) Å] is also observed in the molecule of the complex, and this coordination changes the nearest environment of the Co atom to distorted octahedral coordination. The lengths of the phosphorus-imine P=N bonds are 1.596(6) Å and 1.585(6) Å. The results obtained are compared with previous structural investigations of similar complexes of transition metals with iminophosphoranes.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Nickel(II), palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-allyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-pyrimidin-2-ylthiourea

Platinum(II), palladium(II) and nickel(II) complexes with N-allyl-N′-pyrimidin-2-ylthiourea were synthesized in 1:1 and 1:2 [metal:ligand] stoichiometric ratios and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic susceptibilities and by i.r., u.v.-vis., ¹H- and ¹³C-n.m.r. and mass spectra. The ¹H- and ¹³C- n.m.r. chemical shifts reveal coordination of one pyrimidine-N and sulphur atoms to Pt^II and Pd^II. The i.r. spectra indicate that the ligand behaves as a neutral monodentate towards Ni^II; coordinates via a pyrimidine-N and as a bidendate towards Pd^II and Pt^II coordinates via thione-S and a pyrimidine-N. The magnetic moments and electronic spectral data suggest a square-planar geometry for Pt^II and Pd^II complexes, a mixture of square-planar and tetrahedral geometries for the tetracoordinate Ni^II complex and octahedral for the six-coordinate one. The E.I. mass spectra of the complexes showed some isotope ion peaks of [M]⁺ and fragments containing metals; assignments of fragments containing metal ions were supported by the appearance of their peaks among isotope clusters.     

Kinetics and mechanism of palladium(II) catalysed oxidation of amines and aminoalcohols by N-bromosuccinimide in perchloric acid

Summary The kinetics of oxidation of amines (EtNH₂, Et₂NH, Et₃N) and aminoalcohols [H₂NCH₂CH₂OH, H₂N(CH₂)₃OH, (CH₂CH₂OH)₂NH, (CH₂CH₂OH)₃N] by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) have been studied in aqueous HClO₄ with PdCl₂ as catalyst, and in the presence of Hg(OAc)₂ to ensure oxidation by pure NBS. The order of reaction with respect to NBS was unity, however, an increase in [NBS]₀ resulted in a decrease in the rate constant. The rate was directly proportional to [Pd^II] for the aminoalcohols while for EtNH₂ the rate was proportional to k + k[Pd^II] (where k and k are rate constants for the uncatalysed and catalysed paths, respectively). Retarding effects for HClO₄, succinimide, Cl^– and AcOH on the rate of oxidation were observed. The kinetic data support the formation of [Pd^II-A] and [Pd^II-(A)₂] complexes (where A represents amine or aminoalcohol). A mechanism, consistent with the observed kinetic data, is proposed.
