Precursor chemistry for TiO2: titanium complexes with a mixed nitrogen/oxygen ligand sphere

Novel mixed amido-malonato complexes of titanium are reported. The complexes were synthesized by partially replacing the amido groups from the complexes [Ti(NMe2)4] and [Ti(NEt2)4] via Br?nstedt acid/base reactions, using the malonate-ligands di-isopropylmalonate (Hdpml) and di-tert-butylmalonate (Hdbml). Four representative complexes were synthesized and fully characterised by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, CHN analysis and mass spectrometry. The crystal structures of the six-coordinated complexes [Ti(NMe2)2(dbml)2] (3) and [Ti(NEt2)2(dbml)2] (4) are presented and discussed. The complexes are solids and the chemical and thermal characteristics of the complexes strongly depend on the substitution at the malonate ligand. While dpml containing complexes show a promising behaviour for classical MOCVD, dbml containing complexes seem to be more suitable for liquid injection-metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (LI-MOCVD). Based on its thermal characteristics, the most promising complex for thermal CVD, [Ti(NEt2)2(dpml)2] (2) was selected for preliminary MOCVD experiments, which indicate a good suitability for the deposition of TiO2 thin films.     

Synthesis and Structure of a Mixed Phosphine-Thiolato Polymer with a Linear Chain Network [Ag2 (μ2-dppe)3 (S-mbo)2]n · 2nDMF [dppe = 1,2-Bis (diphenylphosphino)ethane, mbo= 2-Mercaptobenzoxazole]

Diphosphino organochalcogenide metal complexes have been investigated presently fortheir possible use as anti-cancer agents[1-3]. However, the area of silver complexes withmixed phosphine-thiolato ligands has scarcely been touched[4]. As a heterocyclic thiolato lig-and with potential S and N donors, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (Hmbo) is interesting because ofthe structural chemistry of its multifunctional coordination modes (unidentate-N, unidentate-S or bidentate-N : S)[5-8]. Until now, Ag-mbo complex has been unknown to our knowl-edge, despite the fact that its complexes of Sn[5] , Au[6] and Li[7,8] have been reported. Hereinwe report the X-ray crystal structure of a self-assembled coordination polymer[Ag2(μ2-dppe)3(S-mbo)2]n · 2nDMF(dppe=1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, Hmbo=2-mercaptobenzoxazole, DMF = dimethyl formamide).

An octahedral geometry has been proposed for all the complexes except the copper(II) complexes which have a square planar environment. The reducing power of the Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes have been checked and compared. The ligand (L) and its complexes have also been screened against different fungi and bacteria in vitro.     

Synthesis, structural, spectral, thermal and antimicrobial studies of palladium(II), platinum(II), ruthenium(III) and iridium(III) complexes derived from N,N,N,N-tetradentate macrocyclic ligand

Palladium(II), platinum(II), ruthenium(III) and iridium(III) complexes of general stoichiometry [PdL]Cl(2), [PtL]Cl(2), [Ru(L)Cl(2)]Cl and [Ir(L)Cl(2)]Cl are synthesized with a tetradentate macrocyclic ligand, derived from 2,6-diaminopyridine with 3-ethyl 2,4-pentanedione. Ligand was characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, mass, and (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR spectral studies. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, mass, electronic spectral techniques and thermal studies. The value of magnetic moments indicates that all the complexes are diamagnetic except Ru(III) complex which shows magnetic moments corresponding its one unpaired electron. The macrocyclic ligand and all its metal complexes were also evaluated in vitro against some plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria to assess their biocidal properties.     

Supramolecular interactions of [60]- and [70]fullerenes with calix[n]arenes

[60]- and [70]fullerenes have been shown to form 1:1 supramolecular complexes with (i) 24,26-dimethoxy-25,27-dihydroxy-5,11,17,23-tetra(4-tert-butyl)calix[4]arene (1) and (ii) 37,39,41-trimethoxy-38,40,42-trihydroxy-5,11,17,23,29,35-hexa(4-tert-butyl)calix[6]arene (2) in CCl(4) medium by absorption spectroscopy. Charge transfer absorption bands of the complexes have been located in each of the cases (except [70]fullerene-2 complex) studied from which the vertical ionisation potential of 1 has been obtained. Formation constants of the complexes have been determined at four different temperatures from which the enthalpies and entropies of formation of the complexes have been obtained. Moreover, the formation constant of [70]fullerene-2 complex is higher than that of the [60]fullerene-1 and [60]fullerene-2 complexes at all the four temperatures studied. This has been accounted in terms of greater cavity size of 2 which is a calix[6]arene compared to 1 which is a calix[4]arene and also by the fact that a high degree of preorganisation takes place in case of 2 through intramolecular H-bonding at its lower rim.     

Spectroscopic and biological approach of Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone

Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes having the general composition [M(L)(2)X(2)] [where L=2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, M=Ni(II) and Cu(II), X=Cl(-), NO(3)(-) and 1/2 SO(4)(2-)] have been synthesized. All the metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moment, mass, IR, EPR and electronic spectral studies. The magnetic moment measurements of the complexes indicate that all the complexes are of high-spin type. On the basis of spectral studies an octahedral geometry has been assigned for Ni(II) complexes whereas tetragonal geometry for Cu(II) except [Cu(L)(2)SO(4)] which posseses five coordinated geometry. The ligand and its metal complexes were screened against phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria in vitro.     

Interaction of methyl beta-D-xylopyranoside with metal ions: density functional theory study of cationic and neutral bridging and pendant complexes

Density functional theory calculations on complexes of 4C1, 1C4 and 2SO ring conformations of methyl beta-D-xylopyranoside 1 with divalent metal cations, M = Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+, are presented. Bridging and pendant cationic, [M(H2O)41]2+ and [M(H2O)(5)1]2+, as well as neutral complexes, [M(OH)2(H2O)(2)1] and [M(OH)2(H2O)(3)1], and neutral complexes involving a doubly deprotonated sugar, [M(H2O)(4)1(2-)], are considered. In aqueous and chloroform solution the stability of cationic and pendant neutral complexes is greatly diminished compared with gas-phase results. In contrast, bridging neutral complexes [M(OH)2(H2O)(2)1] and those of type [M(H2O)(4)1(2-)], are stabilized with increasing solvent polarity. Solvation also profoundly influences the preferred binding position and ring conformation. Compared with complexes of bare metal cations, additional ligands, e.g., H2O or OH-, significantly reduce the stability of 1C4 ring complexes. Irrespective of the cation, the most stable structure of bridging complexes [M(H2O)(4)1]2+ results from coordination of the metal to O3 and O4 of methyl beta-D-xylopyranoside in its 4C1 ring conformation.

The ligand and its transition metal complexes were characterized by the elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, mass, IR, electronic and EPR spectral studies. On the basis of IR, electronic and EPR spectral studies, an octahedral geometry has been assigned for these complexes except sulphato complexes which are of five coordinated geometry.

Room temperature ESR spectra of the Mn(II) and Cu(II) complexes yield <g> values, characteristic of tetrahedral and square planar complexes respectively. DBtsc and its soluble complexes have been screened against several bacteria, fungi and tumour cell lines.

In complexes 1 to 5, the polydentate ligand is in its bis-deprotonated form, chelating the metals through its [small beta]-diketonate moieties. Magnetic measurements show that the metals within these molecules are maintained almost mutually independent.     

Transition metal complexes bearing a 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)propionate ligand: one methyl more matters

Complexes of the type [Re(III)L6]X3, with L = thiourea, N-methylthiourea, N-ethylthiourea or N,N'-dimethytlthiourea and X = Cl- or PF6-, were prepared as suitable precursors for the synthesis of new rhenium complexes potentially useful in nuclear medicine. The infrared (IR) spectra of these complexes were recorded and analyzed and a general vibrational pattern for Re(III) complexes with thiourea derivatives could be established. Approximate assignments for N-allylthiourea and N-ethylthiourea are also proposed for the first time. The synthesis of the new complex [Re(III)(N-allylthiourea)6](PF6)3 is also reported, and information about its structural characteristics was obtained comparing its IR spectrum with those of the other complexes of the investigated series.

Coordination Behavior of N‐Donor Schiff Base Derived from 2‐Benzoylpyridine Toward Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), and Cr(III) Metal Ions: Synthesis,Spectroscopic and Thermal Studies,and Biological Activity

A new Schiff base was prepared from the reaction of 4,4′‐methylenedianiline with 2‐benzoylpyridine in 1:2 molar ratio, as well as its different metal chelates. The structures of the ligand and its metal complexes were studied by elemental analyses, spectroscopic methods (infrared [IR ], ultraviolet–visible [UV –vis], ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR ], electron spin resonance [ESR ]), magnetic moment measurements, and thermal studies. The ligand acts as tetradentate moiety in all complexes. Octahedral geometry was suggested for Mn(II ), Cu(II ), Cr(III ), and Zn(II ) chloride complexes and pentacoordinated structure and square planar geometry for Co(II ), Ni(II ), Cu(NO₃ )₂, CuBr₂ , and Pd(II ) complexes. ESR spectra of copper(II ) complexes ( 4 )–( 6 ) at room temperature display rhombic symmetry for complex ( 4 ) and axial type symmetry for complexes ( 5 ) and ( 6 ), indicating ground state for Cu(II ) complexes. The derivative thermogravimetric (DTG ) curves of the ligand and its metal complexes were analyzed by using the rate equation to calculate the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, which indicated strong binding of the ligand with the metal ion in some complexes. Also, some of these compounds were screened to establish their potential as anticancer agents against the human hepatic cell line Hep‐G₂ . The obtained IC₅₀ value of the copper(II ) bromide complex (4.34 µg/mL ) is the highest among the compounds studied.
