Studies on syntheses,reactivity and antibacterial activity of nickel(II) complexes of some N-S donors

Summary Square-planar and octahedral complexes of some selected bidentate N-S donor (HL) ring-substituted 4-phenylthiosemicarbazides possessing antibacterial activity have been prepared and characterized. Transformation of the red square-planar [Ni(HL)₂]X₂ complexes to the corresponding blue [Ni(HL)₂(H₂O)₂]X₂ octahedral complexes have been studied. The reactivity of the red square-planar complexes towards various monodentate Lewis base (B) was also examined, and octahedral complexes of the type [Ni(L)₂B₂] and [Ni(HL)B₂]X₂ were characterized. Thein vitro antibacterial activity of several of the red and blue complexes is higher than that of the unbound donors.     

Vanadium(II) complexes of aromatic diamines

The new vanadium(II) complexes [V(opd)₄]X₂ and [V(mopd)₄]X₂, where opd = o-phenylenediamine, mopd = 4-methyl-o-phenylenediamine, and X = Cl or Br, have been prepared by reaction of the aromatic diamine with the vanadium(II) halide in EtOH. Magnetic measurements suggest that these contain octahedral vanadium(II) complex cations, and this is confirmed by the diffuse reflectance spectra. I.r. spectra suggest that the [V(opd)₄]²⁺ cations contain two bidentate and two monodentate diamine ligands.     

Transition metal chemistry of oxime — Containing ligands,Part XXVIII; manganese(II) complexes of 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime

Summary Complexes of manganese(II) with the tridentate oxime ligand 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime (H₂dapd) have been synthesized and characterized. The complexes [Mn(H₂dapd)X₂] are pentacoordinate for X = Cl, Br or I but apparently octahedralvia bridging anions for X = NCS or NCSe. The complex [Mn(H₂dapd)(NO₃)₂] adopts an octahedral structure involving monodentate and bidentate coordination of nitro groups. The complexes [Mn(H₂dapd)₂]X₂ (X = Cl, Br, I, NO₃, NCS or NCSe) involve an octahedral cation.     

Infrared spectra of bis(aniline) and bis (p-toluidine) metal(II) isothiocyanate complexes

The infrared spectra of eight complexes of general formula [ML₂(NCS)₂] (M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; L = aniline or p-toluidine) have been determined over the range 4000–4150 cm^?1. Colour, magnetic moments and IR spectra are consistent with polymeric octahedral coordination in the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes and polymeric tetragonal coordination in the Cu(II) complexes, while the Zn(II) complexes are assigned polymeric octahedral (L = aniline) and tetrahedral (L = p-toluidine) structure on the basis of their IR spectra. Independent ¹⁵N-labelling of the nitrogen atoms of the amino and isothiocyanate groups yields assignments for the internal vibrations of both groups and enables the metal-amine and metal—isothiocyanate stretching vibrations (vM-NH₂ and vM-NCS) to be distinguished. Both vM-NH₂ and vM-NCS are metal ion dependent in the Irving-Williams sequence (Co < Ni < Cu > Zn) expected from their proposed structures while the vN-H and vN-CS vibrations are inversely related to the masses of the coordinated metal ions.     

A calorimetric study on the relative thermal stabilities of some cobalt(III)-tris(diamine) and -bis(triamine) complexes in the solid phase

The enthalpy changes for the reaction of [Co(AA)₃]X₃ and [Co(dien)₂]X₃ type complexes with an alkaline sodium sulfide solution were calorimetrically measured at 25°C, where AA is the diamine such as en, pn, tn, bpy or phen and X is Cl, Br, NO₃, I or ClO₄. The thermal stabilities were found to decrease in the following orders: chloride > bromide > nitrate > iodide > perchlorate; aliphatic diamine > aromatic diamine complexes; five-membered chelate > six-membered chelate compounds; and tris(diamine) > bis(triamine) complexes.     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of the Co(III) Complex with 2'-[1-(2-Pyridinyl)-Ethylidene]-Oxamohydrazide (Hapsox): The Crystal Structure of Bis-{2'-[1-(2-Pyridinyl)-Ethylidene]-Oxamohydrazido} Cobalt(III) Perchlorate, [Co(apsox)2]ClO4

The synthesis of a novel ligand 2′-[1-(2-pyridinyl)-ethylidene]-oxamohydrazide (Hapsox), from a series of 2-acetylpyridine acylhydrazones, and its complex with Co(III), which is the first in this series of complexes are described. Both the ligand and the complex were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR, and ¹³C-NMR spectra, and the structure of the complex [Co(apsox)₂]ClO₄ was determined by X-ray structural analysis. It was established that [Co(apsox)₂]ClO₄ has an octahedral geometry with two tridentate apsox ligands in monoanionic form. Structural characteristics, lengths of the bonds, and angles between the bonds were typical for Co(III) complexes of distorted octahedral geometry. Both direct and template synthesis afforded the same geometrical isomer of the complex with two apsox ligands meridionally bound to the central metal ion, even in the case when equimolar quantities of Co(ClO₄)₂ and Hapsox were applied.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of two 2D coordination polymers of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with the Malonate Dianion Ligand

Two 2D complexes, [Co(mal)(phen)(H₂O)₂] (1) and [Ni(mal)(phen)(H₂O)₂] (2) (mal?=?malonate dianion; phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized by the reaction of Co(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O and Ni(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O with disodium malonate and 1,10-phenanthroline in MeOH/H₂O solution. Their crystal structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The structures of Complexes 1 and 2 show that each metal ion is coordinated by one 1,10-phenanthroline, two water molecules and a malonate ligand forming a distorted octahedral environment and each mononuclear fragment forms a 2D supramolecular network through H-bonding interactions.     

The synthesis,characterization and crystal structure of trans(N)-(1,10-phenanthroline)-bis(L-prolinato)cobalt(III) perchlorate hydrate

Summary The complex was prepared by reaction of cis-[Co(phen)₂-Cl₂] Cl·3H₂O (phen = phenanthroline) with L-proline at pH 9, isolated by chromatography using an SP-Sephadex C-25 H⁺ form column, and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. The X-ray crystal structure has also been determined. There are 1.5 independent complex cations, 1.5 ClO _inf4 ^sup– anions and two H₂O molecules in each asymmetric unit, and two complex cations of similar structure in the crystal. There is a crystallographic C₂ symmetry in the first of these. In the octahedral coordination sphere of the metal the oxygen and nitrogen chelating prolinato ligands are arranged in the trans-N,N form.     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TRIS(ALKYLISOCYANIDE) BIS(TRIARYL-PHOSPHINE)COBALT(II) COMPLEXES

Abstract

A series of complexes having the general formula, [Co(CNR)₃(PR₃)₂]X₂, X = ClO₄, BF₄ with CNR = CNCMe₃, CNCHMe₂, CNC₆H₁₁. CNCH₂Ph and PR₃ = PPh₃, P(C₆H₄Me-p)₃, P(C₆H₄OMe-p)₃ has been synthesized and characterized. Synthesis can be achieved by reaction of [Co(CNR)₄(AsPh₃)₂]X₂ complexes with controlled excess of PR₃ ligands, and by AgClO₄/AgBF₄ oxidation of the [Co(CNR)₃(PR₃)₂]X complexes. The latter procedure is preferable. Alternate syntheses of the [Co(CNR)₃(PR₃)₂]X complexes have also been employed. Five-coordinate Co(II) complexes have not been obtained using CNCMe₃ with P(C₆H₄Me-p)₃ ligands, CNCH₂Ph with P(C₆H₄OMe-p)₃ ligands, or CNC₄H_9-n with PPh₃ ligands. [Co(CNC-Me₃)₃{P(C₆H₄Cl-p)₃}₂]ClO₄ produced only [Co{CNCMe₃)₄H₂O](ClO₄)₂ upon forced oxidation with excess AgClO₄. [Co(CNR)₃(PR₃)₂]X₂ complexes appear to undergo varying degrees of distortion from regular (i.e., D _3h symmetry) axially-disubstituted trigonal bipyramidal coordination in the solid state, as evidenced by v(-N°C) IR patterns, but to assume regular trigonal bipyramidal coordination in solution. Effective magnetic moments indicate one-electron paramagnetism, and solution electronic spectra are compatible with trigonal bipyramidal coordination.     

Synthesis and characterization of cobalt(III) tetraaza macrocyclic complexes containing chloro and azido ligands

The complexes [Co(L)Cl₂]Cl · 4H₂O (1) and [Co(L)(N₃)₂]N₃ · 2H₂O (2) (L = 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo [14,4,0^1.18,0^7.12]docosane) have been synthesized, and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structure of (1) is centrosymmetric and the cobalt(III) atom has an axially elongated octahedral geometry with four nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle and two chloride ligands. The cobalt(III) ion in (2) is coordinated to four nitrogen atoms from the macrocycle, and two azide ligands in an octahedral environment, which forms the 1D polymer through hydrogen bonding contacts involving the cation, azide anion and solvent water molecules. Electronic spectra of the complexes also exhibit a low-spin octahedral environment. Cyclic voltammetry of the complexes undergoes a one-electron wave corresponding to Co(III)/Co(II) processes. The electronic spectra and electrochemical behaviors of the complexes are significantly affected by the nature of the axial ligands.     

Coordination compounds of heterocyclic azo derivatives. III. Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of some arylazo-4,5-diphenylimidazole derivatives

The 3d transition metalion [Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)] complexes of some 4,5-diphenylimidazole azo derivatives have been isolated and characterized by chemical analysis, conductance, electronic and IR spectra. These dyes are characterized by a high tendency towards complex formation with the neutral molecules coordinated to the metal ion as bidentate ligands. The molecular formula of the 1:1 and 1:2 complexes are suggested to be [MLX ₂(H₂O)₂] and [ML ₂ X ₂] or [ML ₂ X ₂]·2H₂O respectively, whereX=Cl^– or NO₃. the different bands observed in the visible spectra of methanolic solutions of the complexes have been assigned to the possible electronic transition type (L MCT and d-d). It is suggested that the complexes studied have a distorted octahedral geometry.

Spectrothermal studies of 1,10-phenanthroline complexes of Co(II), NI(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) orotates

The 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) orotates were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, spectral methods (UV-vis and FTIR) and thermal analysis techniques (TG, DTG and DTA). The Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions in diaquabis(1,10-phenanthroline)metal(II) diorotate octahedral complexes [M(H₂O)₂(phen)₂](H₂Or)₂·nH₂O (M=Co(II), n=2.25; Ni(II), n=3; Cu(II) and Cd(II), n=2) are coordinated by two aqua ligands and two moles of phen molecules as chelating ligands through their two nitrogen atoms. The monoanionic orotate behaves as a counter ion in the complexes. On the basis of the first DTG_max, the thermal stability of the hydrated complexes follows the order: Cd(II), 68°C 68°C     

Dicyanamide complexes of copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) with benzimidazole and its 2-alkyl-derivatives

Summary Dicyanamide complexes of Cu^II, Ni^II and Co^II of the type M[N(CN)₂]₂L₂, where L = benzimidazole, 2-methyl- or 2-ethylbenzimidazole, have been prepared and studied by spectroscopy and magnetochemistry. The complexes, except for Co[N(CN)₂]₂ (benzimidazole)₂, are six-coordinate, involving bidentate bridging dicyanamide groups. While the Ni^II complexes have practically octahedral structures, the Cu^II complexes are pseudooctahedral with similar tetragonal distortion. The ligand field strength in these complexes depends mainly on the steric effect of the benzimidazole ligands. The Co^II complex of benzimidazole is monomeric tetrahedral, but that of 2-ethylbenzimidazole is tetragonal octahedral. The oridging function of dicyanamide in the six-coordinate complexes is realized either through both cyanide or through amide and cyanide nitrogens. The complex Cu[N(CN)₂]₂ (2-methylbenzimidazole)₂ is a weak antiferromagnet (J = -0.1 cm^–1), exhibiting under ca. 15 K a long-range antiferromagnetic ordering.     

Spectrothermal studies on Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) salicylato (1,10-phenanthroline) complexes

The cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc atoms in bis(1,10-phenanthroline)bis(salicylato-O)metal(II) monomeric octahedral complexes [M(Hsal)₂(phen)₂]·nH₂O, (M: Co(II), n=1; Cu(II), n=1.5 and Ni(II), Zn(II), n=2) are coordinated by the salicylato monoanion (Hsal) through the carboxyl oxygen in a monodentate fashion and by the 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) molecule through the two amine nitrogen atoms in a bidentate chelating manner. On the basis of the DTG_max, the thermal stability of the hydrated complexes follows order: Ni(II) (149°C)>Co(II) (134°C)>Zn(II) (132°C)>Cu(II) (68°C) in static air atmosphere. In the second stage, the pyrolysis of the anhydrous complexes takes place. The third stage of decomposition is associated with a strong exothermic oxidation process (DTA curves: 410, 453, 500 and 450°C for the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes, respectively). The final decomposition products, namely CoO, NiO, CuO and ZnO, were identified by IR spectroscopy. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes of (2-thiophene)-(5,6-diphenyl-[1,2,4]-triazin-3-yl)hydrazone

New complexes having the formulae [L₂CoX₂] and [LCuCl₂], [LCuCl] and [LCu](ClO₄)₂ where L?=?(2-thiophene)-(5,6-diphenyl-[1,2,4]-triazin-3-yl)hydrazone TDPTH; X?=?Cl, OAc or ClO₄ have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, conductance, magnetic moments and infrared, electronic and ESR spectral data. The IR spectra indicate that TDPTH is a neutral bidentate ligand, coordinating via a triazine-N and azomethine-N in [L₂CoX₂] and [LCuCl₂] with the thiophene-S not coordinated but is tridentate in [LCuCl] and [LCu](ClO₄)₂ through the same two nitrogen atoms and thiophene-S. The magnetic moment and electronic spectral data suggest a distorted octahedral structure for Co(II) complexes, a dimeric square pyramidal geometry for [LCuCl₂] through chloride bridges and a dimeric diamagnetic, four-coordinate copper in [LCu](ClO₄)₂ through thiophene-S bridges. The X-band ESR spectra of Co(II) complexes, in the solid state, are rhombic with three g values consistent with a high-spin distorted octahedral structure. The X-band ESR spectrum of the powdered sample of both [LCuCl₂]·2H₂O and [LCu](ClO₄)₂ at room temperature and at 77?K showed only one broad signal due to?ΔM _s?=?±?1 transition and a weak signal due to the forbidden?ΔM _s?=?±?2 transition, indicating an antiferromagnetic interaction between copper(II) centers whereas [LCuCl] is ESR silent, indicating a monovalent copper ion in this complex.     

Characterization of Binding Properties of Cr(Phen)33+ and Ru(Phen)32+ Complexes with Human Lactoferrin

This work presents research about [Cr(phen)₃]³⁺ and [Ru(phen)₃]²⁺ interaction with human lactoferrin (HLf), a key carrier protein of ferric cations. The photochemical and photophysical properties of [Cr(phen)₃]³⁺ and [Ru(phen)₃]²⁺ have been widely studied in the last decades due to their potential use as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The behavior between the complexes and the protein was studied employing UV–visible absorption, fluorescence emission and circular dichroism spectroscopic techniques. It was found that both complexes bind to HLf with a large binding constant (K_b): 9.46 × 10⁴ for the chromium complex and 4.16 × 10⁴ for the ruthenium one at 299 K. Thermodynamic parameters were obtained from the Van't Hoff equation. Analyses of entropy (ΔS), enthalpy (ΔH) and free energy changes (ΔG) indicate that these complexes bind to HLf because of entropy-driven processes and electrostatic interactions. According to circular dichroism experiments, no conformational changes have been observed in the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein in the presence of any of the studied complexes. These experimental results suggest that [Cr(phen)₃]³⁺ and [Ru(phen)₃]²⁺ bind to HLf, indicating that this protein could act as a carrier of these complexes in further applications.     

Five new cobalt(II) complexes based on indazole derivatives: synthesis,DNA binding and molecular docking study

Five cobalt(II) complexes based on 1H-indazole-3-carboxylic acid (H₂L), [Co(phen)(HL)₂]·2H₂O (1), [Co(5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipy)(HL)₂] (2), [Co(2,2′-bipy)₂(HL)₂]·5H₂O (3), [Co₂(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phen)₂(L)₂] (4) and [Co₂(6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipy)₂(L)₂]·H₂O (5) (2,2'-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR and UV-vis spectroscopies and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The results indicate that 1–3 possess mononuclear Co(II) structures, while 4 and 5 exhibit binuclear structure. 1D water tape which is linked by the multiple hydrogen bonds was embedded in the 3D motif of complex 3. Complexes 4 and 5 show two orthogonal planes of motif that was constituted by phen/2,2′-bipy and indazole acid, respectively. The intermolecular interactions including hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions are stabilizing these complexes. The interactions of the synthesized complexes with calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) have been investigated by UV-vis absorption titration, ethidium bromide displacement assay and viscosity measurements. The results reveal that the complexes could interact with CT-DNA via a groove binding mode. Their behavior rationalization was further theoretically studied by molecular docking.     

Synthesis,structures and Hirshfeld surface analysis of Ni(II) and Co(III) complexes with N2O donor Schiff base ligand

Two octahedral complexes [NiL(HL)]ClO₄.0.5CH₃OH and [CoL₂]ClO₄ have been synthesized with N₂O donor Schiff base ligand {((2-(phenylamino)ethyl)imino)methyl}phenol (HL) and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The molar conductivities data of the two complexes show that the complexes are 1:1 electrolyte. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data shows both Ni(II) and Co(III) complexes have distorted octahedral geometry and two ligands are coordinated to the metal centers and one ClO₄⁻ ion outside the coordination sphere. The intermolecular interactions in the complexes are evaluated by Hirshfeld surface analysis and revealed a significant contribution of non- or weakly polar interactions to the packing forces for both molecules, with crystal structure of Co(III) complex featuring short H/H contacts.     

Synthesis,X-ray crystal structure and electrochemical properties of (dithiolato)(diimine)copper(II) complexes: [Cu(mnt)(phen)] n and [Cu(dmit)(phen)] 2

Copper (II) complexes [Cu(dmit)(phen)]₂ (1) and [Cu(mnt)(phen)] _n (2) (mnt^2??=?maleonitriledithiolate, dmit^2??=?1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate, phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline) have been prepared by ligand-exchange between phen and [N(Bu)₄]₂[Cu(dmit)₂] or [N(Bu)₄]₂[Cu(mnt)₂]. Both complexes have been characterized by spectroscopic, electrochemical, and single-crystal X-ray analysis. In complex 1, dimers are extended into a two-dimensional array by weak S5–Cu contacts. In complex 2, monomers are extended into chains in a head-to-tail arrangement by weak Cu–S coordination bonds and π–π stacking interactions.     

Co-ordination compounds of diacetyldihydrazone and diacetylbis(monomethylhydrazone)

Summary Diacetyldihydrazone (DADH) forms only six-coordinate complexes with iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II). In M(DADH)₂X₂ (M=Fe, X=Br or I; M=Co, X=I; M=Ni, X=Cl, Br or NCS) the ligand is chelating in the [M(DADH)₃]²⁺ cations, while in M(DADH)₂X₂ (M=Co, X=Cl or Br; M=Ni, X=Cl or Br) the ligand is probably bridging and bidentate. Diacetylbismonomethylhydrazone (DAMH), by contrast, forms predominantly tetrahedral complexes M(DAMH)X₂ (M=Fe or Co, X=Cl or Br; M=Ni, X=Br; M=Co, X=NCS; M=Zn, X=Cl, Br or NCS) and some octahedral complexes M(DAMH)₂X₂ (M=Co, X=NCS; M=Ni, X=Br). The i.r. spectra, electronic spectra and magnetic moments of the complexes are discussed.
