EPR investigations of Cu(II) complexes with 5′-CMP and 5′-GMP

Electron paramagnetic resonance investigation of the Cu(II) complexes with guanosine-5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP) and cytidine-5′-monophosphate (5′-CMP) shows the affinity of the Cu(II) ion to interact with the base and the phosphate group. The different modes of the coordination of the metal ion at the nucleotide and the water molecules lead to octahedral species, distorted by dynamical Jahn-Teller effect (g₀ = 2.106) for the Cu(II)-5′-CMP complex and rhombically distorted (g₁ = 2.358, g₂ = 2.126, g₃ = 2.068) or tetragonally distorted (g_∥^′ = 2.299, g_⊥^′ = 2.126) for the Cu(II)-5′ -GMP complex. The compound with 5′-CMP presents also a more stable in time square-planar species (g_∥ = 2.265, A_∥ = 162 G, g_⊥ = 2.076). The local symmetry changes in aqueous solution by coordination of water molecules.     

Highly efficient simultaneous ultrasonic-assisted adsorption of Pb(II), Cd(II), Ni(II) and Cu (II) ions from aqueous solutions by graphene oxide modified with 2,2′-dipyridylamine: Central composite design optimization

In present work, a graphene oxide chemically modified with 2,2′-dipyridylamine (GO-DPA), was synthesized by simple, fast and low-cost process for the simultaneous adsorption of four toxic heavy metals, Pb(II), Cd(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), from aqueous solutions. The synthesized adsorbent was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, SEM and AFM measurements. The effects of variables such as pH solution, initial ion concentrations, adsorbent dosage and sonicating time were investigated on adsorption efficiency by rotatable central composite design. The optimum conditions, specified as 8 mg of adsorbent, 20 mg L⁻¹ of each ion at pH 5 and short time of 4 min led to the achievement of a high adsorption capacities. Ultrasonic power had important role in shortening the adsorption time of ions by enhancing the dispersion of adsorbent in solution. The adsorption kinetic studies and equilibrium isotherms for evaluating the mechanism of adsorption process showed a good fit to the pseudo-second order and Langmuir model, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacities (Q_m) of this adsorbent were 369.749, 257.201, 180.893 and 358.824 mg g⁻¹ for lead, cadmium, nickel and copper ions, respectively. The removal performance of adsorbent on the real wastewater samples also showed the feasibility of adsorbent for applying in industrial purposes.     

On the electronic structure of N,N′-ethylenebis(acetylacetonatiminato)Co(II), Co(II)acacen

Single crystal E.P.R. and cobalt ENDOR measurements on N,N′-ethylenebis(acetylacetonatiminato)Co(II), Coacacen, diluted in Niacacen·1/2 H₂O are reported. Forbidden Δm _Co = 1,2 transitions in the E.P.R. spectra have been observed. The g-tensor (E.P.R.) and the cobalt hyperfine and quadrupole tensors (ENDOR) have been determined. The g- and cobalt hyperfine tensors are discussed. They support the |² A ₂,yz? groundstate proposed for four coordinated low-spin Schiff base complexes of cobalt(II). The measured quadrupole coupling is also compatible with a |² A ₂,yz? groundstate, if anisotropic contraction of the cobalt 3d orbitals is taken into consideration.     

Structure and biological properties of sodium and potassium 1-(carboxy)-1-(N-methylamide)-2-(3′,5′-di-tert-butyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionates

Sodium (1) and potassium (2) 1-(carboxy)-1-(N-methylamide)-2-(3′,5′-di-tert-butyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionates form crystal hydrates, which exist as both monomers and dimers. Quantum-chemical calculations in the PM6 approximation are used to determined the enthalpies of formation ?H _f ^po , thermal enthalpy H ^po, and entropy S ^po of the monomers and dimers, which are indicative of the possibility of existence of the dimers of propionates of alkali metals. The biological activity of these compounds in animal and plants is demonstrated to be dependent on their concentrations. Compounds 1 and 2 turned out to be efficient in the treatment of burn injuries, cancer, and radiation damage (in vivo and in vitro), as well as in promoting the growth of cereal plants.

They were compared with each other and compared quantitatively with ligand field theory(LFT) and the radical wave function of non-free ions^[1–3]. Therefore, the electronic structure was also investigated with its spectrum behaviors and PLFT^[1–3].     

Spectrophotometric determination of copper(II) in pharmaceutical,biological and water samples by 4-(2′-benzothiazolylazo)-salicylic acid

A highly sensitive method is proposed to determine copper(II) ions by forming a stable complex through their interaction with 4-(2′-benzothiazolylazo)-salicylic acid (BTAS) at room temperature and pH of about 5.0. The complex gave a maximum absorption at λ = 485 nm with a molar absorptivity coefficient of 2.35·10⁴ l/(mol·cm). The linear range for the copper determination is 0.63–5.04 mg/l. The method can be applied to determine copper ions in different biological specimens like some drugs and water samples.     

Spectra-Structure Correlations in 2,2′-Bipyridine Mercury(II) Saccharinate: Comparison With Mercury(II) Saccharinate And Chloromercury(II) Saccharinate∗

Abstract

The infrared spectrum of 1:1 complex of mercury(II) saccharinate with 2,2′-bipyridine, [Hg(C₇H₄NO₃S)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)], was studied in the CO and SO₂stretching regions. The appearance of the spectrum in the region of the carbonyl stretching modes was correlated with the number of non-equivalent CO groups in the structure. The spectral and structural characteristics of the CO groups in the title compound were compared with the corresponding ones in the mercury(II) saccharinate and chloromercury(II) saccharinate. It was found that the frequency of the CO stretchings in the spectrum of Hg(bpy) (sac)₂ is significantly lower (1630 and 1615 cm^?1) than the frequency of the corresponding modes in the spectra of covalently bonded mercury(II) saccharinate (1705 and 1680 cm^?1) and chloromercury saccharinate (1694 cm^?1). An attempt was also made to assign the bands which are mainly due to the symmetric and the antisymmetric SO₂ stretching vibrations.

     

Syntheses and structure characterization of inorganic/organic coordination polymers: Ag(dpa), Co(O3PH)(4,4′-bpy)(H2O), Zn(O3PH)(4,4′-bpy)0.5 and Mn[O2PH(C6H5)]2(4,4′-bpy) (dpa=2,2′-dipyridylamine; 4,4′-bpy=4,4′-bipyridine)

Four novel coordination polymers: Ag(dpa) I, Co(O₃PH)(4,4′-bpy)(H₂O) II, Zn(O₃PH)(4,4′-bpy)_0.5 III and Mn[O₂PH(C₆H₅)]₂(4,4′-bpy) IV (dpa=2,2′-dipyridylamine; 4,4′-bpy=4,4′-bipyridine), were synthesized by microwave heating and characterized by X-ray crystallography. I crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/n with a=11.576(2) Å, b=5.585(2) Å, c=15.243(4) Å, β=109.00(2)°, V=931.8(3) ų. II crystallizes in monoclinic Cc space group with a=22.477(7) Å, b=5.280(1) Å, c=10.404(4) Å, β=96.08(3)°, V=1227.8(7) ų. III crystallizes in monoclinic P21/c space group with a=9.758(2) Å, b=7.449(3) Å, c=10.277(2) Å, β=100.02(2)°, V=735.6(4) ų. IV crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2/c with a=10.174(1) Å, b=11.817(3) Å, c=18.784(4) Å, β=102.14(1)°, V=2207.8(8) ų. I consists of linear metal–metal chains wrapped by dpa ligands. II and III consist of two-dimensional M^II(O₃PH) inorganic sheets cross-linked by 4,4′-bpy ligands, while IV is formed by Mn[O₂PH(C₆H₅)]₂ sheets cross-linked by 4,4′-bpy ligands. I exhibits two-step thermal decomposition at ~200 and ~250°C, resulting in the reduction of Ag⁺ to Ag metal. II loses its coordination water at ~100°C, leaving vacant coordination sites at Co²⁺ ions, while the original framework remains intact. The removal of 4,4′-bpy in II–IV occurs at elevated temperatures above 250, 200 and 400°C respectively.     

Theoretical studies on the geometrical and electronic structures of supramolecule bis(2,2′-bipyridine)-5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline ruthenium(II)/functionalized SWCNT dyads

Functionalization of carbon nanotube (CNT) with multiple redox and photo active entities is one of the extensive processes due to its importance in building molecular or supramolecular electronic devices, solar energy storage and conversion systems. Thus, to have better understanding about structural aspects and correct electronic structure of these large systems, the quantum studies have gained increased popularity. In present study, we have investigated the structural and electronic properties of functionalized CNTs (fCNTs) with [Ru(bpy)₂(5-NH₂-1,10-phen)]⁺², (Ru-bpy-phen)⁺², supramolecule based on DFT calculations. Main attention has been applied to obtain stable configuration, binding energies and effect of functionalization on electronic behavior of the selected supramolcule. We also evaluate the effect of nanotube’s diameter and chirality on electronic properties of considered supramolecule. Calculated binding energies show that interaction between the (Ru-bpy-phen)⁺² and the host CNTs depends on the tube diameter while the chirality doesn’t affect significantly on the binding nature of respected complex. We have also investigated the influence of non-local dispersion interactions (vdW) and temperature on the stability and electronic structure of the considered system. Results obtained from the ab initio MD simulations showed that increasing the temperature can affect the distance between C and N atoms in the linkage position. The charge analysis indicates the existence of remarkable charge transfer between (Ru-bpy-phen)⁺² as donor and fCNTs as acceptor moieties in the isolated molecule. In the presence of vdW forces and at higher temperature, the charge transfer was decreased but the direction of transferred charge remains unchanged.     

Synthesis and Reactivity of Mg(II)–Fe(II)–Fe(III) Hydroxycarbonates

Green rust-like compounds (GRs) were discovered as natural minerals in various hydromorphic soils, where anoxic conditions allow their stability. They may control some redox processes in aquifers and participate to the transformation of various pollutants. Since Mg(II) cations are present in the fields where GRs were discovered, a partial substitution of Mg(II) to Fe(II) leading to intermediate compounds between GRs and usual Mg(II)–Fe(III) hydroxysalts is suspected. Mg(II)–Fe(II)–Fe(II) hydroxycarbonates can be obtained as intermediate oxidation products of (Mg, Fe)(OH)₂ in carbonate-containing aqueous media obeying to [Fe^II _4(1–x)Mg^II _4x Fe^III ₂(OH)₁₂]²⁺ [CO₃ ^2– nH₂O]^–2. TMS spectra at 12 K are similar to those of GRs, i.e., two quadrupole doublets, one due to Fe(II) with a large isomer shift =1.29 mms^–1 (with respect to -iron at room temperature) and quadrupole splitting E _Q=2.76 mms^–1, the other one due to Fe(III) with smaller hyperfine parameters =0.49 mms^–1 and E _Q=0.44 mms^–1. Fe(II) ions oxidise rapidly into Fe(III) with dissolved O₂. The reactivity is similar to that of Fe(II)–Fe(III) hydroxysalts GR, and thus the potential of Mg(II)–Fe(II)–Fe(III) compounds for reducing pollutants.     

Photophysics of mixed ligand complexes of ruthenium(II) with 2,2′-bipyridyl and phosphines

Luminescence of mixed ligand complexes of ruthenium(II) of the types cis-Ru(bpy)₂X₂(I), cis-[Ru(bpy)₂(PPh₃)X](BF₄)(II), and cis-Ru(bpy)(PP)X₂(III) (X = CN, NO₂, PPh₃ is triphenyl phosphine; PP is 1,2-bis(diphenylphospino)ethane (dppe) and cis-,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene (dppene)) is studied in alcohol matrices (EtOH/MeOH, 4:1) frozen at 77 K. A sequence of complexes I–III exhibits an additive (in the number of phosphorous atoms) blue shift of the absorption and luminescence bands and an increase in the quantum yield of luminescence and in the excited-state lifetime. The rate constant of nonradiative deactivation of the excited state decreases more than by an order of magnitude in the sequence I–III of cyano complexes and only by three times in a sequence of nitro complexes. This is assumed to be caused by a specific (in the hydrogen bond type) interaction of nitro groups of complexes with a proton solvent.     

Viscosity and Temperature Effects on the Rate of Oxygen Quenching of Tris-(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)

We compare the bimolecular quenching rate constant (k₂) of luminescent tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) by oxygen in water, ethylene glycol and glycerol as a function of temperature and viscosity to several theoretical models. The Smoluchowski equation with experimentally determined diffusion coefficients produced calculated values that were in the best agreement with experiment. For the less viscous solvent, water, this equation produced a value that was approximately an order of magnitude larger than the experimental value. With an increase in solvent viscosity, the Smoluchowski value approached the experimental value. Using the Smoluchowski equation with calculated diffusion coefficients based on the known radii of the reacting species produced deviations an order of magnitude larger in water and a factor of two or three lower in ethylene glycol and glycerol. If an assumption is made that the radii of both molecules are equal, we have the Stokes Einstein equation, and the only parameters become temperature and viscosity. Using this relationship, the calculated values for water are about a factor of two larger and with ethylene glycol and glycerol about a factor of 6 smaller than experimental data. These results show that bimolecular quenching is a more complex process affected by many parameters such as solvent cage effects in addition to viscosity and temperature.     

ESR and optical study of Cu2+-doped bis-(5,5′-diethylbarbiturato)bis picoline Zn(II)

ESR studies were conducted on Cu²⁺-doped bis-(5,5′-diethylbarbiturato)bis picoline Zn(II). Two Cu²⁺ lattice sites, Cu²⁺(I) and Cu²⁺(II), were identified. These sites exhibit two sets of four hyperfine lines in all directions. The g factor and hyperfine splitting were calculated from ESR absorption spectra: g_x ?=?2.0201?±?0.002, g_y ?=?2.0900?±?0.002, g_z ?=?2.1634?±?0.002, A_x ?=?(30?±?2)?×?10^?4?cm^?1, A_y ?=?(40?±?2)?×?10^?4?cm^?1 and A_z ?=?(154?±?2)?×?10^?4?cm^?1. It was found that Cu²⁺ enters the lattice substitutionally. The ground-state wavefunction of the Cu²⁺ ion in this lattice was determined from the spin Hamiltonian constants obtained from the ESR studies. With the help of an optical absorption study, the nature of the bonding in the complex is also discussed.     

The characterization of electroplex generated from the interface between 2-(4-trifluoromethyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole] zinc and N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′- bis(1-naphthyl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine

The electroplex between (2-(4-trifluoromethyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole) zinc [Zn(4-TfmBTZ)₂] as an electron-acceptor and N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine (NPB) as an electron-donor was characterized by bilayer, blend, and multilayer quantum-well (MQW) device, respectively. The blend composition and quantum-well number are effective parameters for tuning electroluminescence color. White light with high color purity and color rendering index (CRI) was observed from these devices based on Zn(4-TfmBTZ)₂/NPB. Moreover, the blend and MQW devices all exhibit high operation stability, hence excellent color stability. For the device with 5 mol% NPB in blend layer, its Commission International Del’Eclairage (CIE) coordinate region is x=0.28–0.31, y=0.33–0.35 and CRI is 83.3–91.2 at 5–9 V. For MQW structure device with NPB of 60 nm thickness, its CIE coordinate region is x=0.29–0.32, y=0.31–0.34 and CRI=87.9–92.5 at 10–15 V. Such high color stability and purity and CRI, being close to ideal white light, are of current important for white OLED.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic Characterization and Thermogravimetric Analysis of Cr(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ) and Mg(Ⅱ),Captopril Coordination Compounds

In this work,we have reported the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of captopril(Cap)coordination compounds:Cu(Cap)·2H 2O,Cr(Cap)·H 2O,Zn(Cap)·3H 2O and Mg(Cap)4.Herein,it is worthily mentioned that the FTIR spectroscopic technique was employed to recognized the nature of coordination between captopril ligand and copper,chromium,zinc and magnesium(Ⅱ)metal ions.In view of the infrared spectroscopic tool,the copper(Ⅱ)metal ion coordinated toward captopril drug ligand through sulfur atom of SH group dependent on the absent of stretching vibration band of—SH.Based on this result,the stretching motion ofνa(COO)shifts clearly indicates that Cu 2+,Cr 2+,Zn 2+and Mg 2+the carboxylic group is employed as coordinative site for all compounds as a metal-ligand coordinative bond.As a general behavior,it is verified that the coordination compound thermal stability(considering the release of captopril molecules,not the release of water molecules)is affected by the metal cation radius:minor radius is associated with higher thermal stability,probably due to a higher metal-captopril bond dissociation enthalpy.     

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterizations of New Mercury(Ⅱ), Cerium(Ⅲ), and Thorium(Ⅳ) Captopril Drug Complexes

In this article, three types of metal ions with different oxidation state as mercury(Ⅱ), cerium(Ⅲ) thorium(Ⅳ) have been reacted with captopril drug(CAP). The isolated solid complexes were explained using elemental analysis, conductance measurements, infrared and ~1H-NMR spectroscopy as well as the thermo gravimetric(TG/DTG) analysis. The micro analytical and spectroscopic results for all CAP complexes were agreement with the speculated structures. The stoichiometry for divalent Hg~(2+), trivalent Ce~(3+) and tetravalent Th~(4+) metal ions with CAP ligand was established with 1∶2(M~(n+):CAP) molar ratio. The qualitative analysis showed that in case of the mercury(Ⅱ) complex, the chloride ions didn't involved in the complexity, suggesting formula [Hg(CAP)_2] in neutral form. However, regarding both Ce(Ⅲ) and Th(Ⅳ) complexes as [Ce(CAP)_2(NO_3)]·3 H_2O and [Th(CAP)_2(NO_3)_2(H_2O)]·3 H_2O formulas, the nitrate group is existed inside the coordination sphere. The infrared analysis data proved that CAP drug act as a bidentate ligand with the metal ions of Ce(Ⅲ) and Th(Ⅳ) through oxygen carbonyl group ■ and oxygen of the deprotonated carboxylic COOH group, while for the Hg(Ⅱ) complex, the CAP acts as a bidentate ligand through oxygen of ■ group and sulfur atom of the deprotonated —SH group. Thorium(Ⅵ) complex has a nine-coordinate geometry, while Hg(Ⅱ) and Ce(Ⅲ) have a four and six-coordination behaviors respectively. The ~1H-NMR data of the CAP compound has a singlet sharp signal at 1.90 ppm due to the proton of —SH group, this peak absent in the spectrum of the Hg(Ⅱ) CAP complex upon the deprotonated of thiol group.

Preparations and Spectroscopic Studies on the Three New Strontium(Ⅱ), Barium(Ⅱ), and Lead(Ⅱ) Carbocysteine Complexes

Carbocisteine, also known as carbocysteine, is a mucolytic that reduces the viscosity of sputum and thus can be used to help relieve symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and bronchiectasis by allowing the sufferer to expel sputum more easily. A total of three new metal complexes of carbocysteine, HCcy with the metal ions Sr(Ⅱ), Ba(Ⅱ), and Pb(Ⅱ) have been successfully prepared in alkaline medium in situ H₂O/CH₃OH (50/50 w/w). The complexes obtained are characterized quantitatively and qualitatively by using micro elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, and conductivity measurements. From the spectral study, all the synthesized Ccy complexes obtained as monomeric structure and the metals center moieties are six-coordinated except lead(Ⅱ) complex which existed as a four-coordinated respectively, suggesting formulas [Sr(Ccy)(H₂O)₂], [Ba(Ccy)(H₂O)₂] and [Pb(Ccy)] in neutral form. Beside, regarding both Sr(Ⅱ) and Ba(Ⅱ) complexes, the aquo groups are existed inside the coordination sphere. The infrared assignments reveal that HCcy ligand act as a bidentate ligand with the metal ions through oxygens of the deprotonated carboxylic COOH group. The 1H-NMR spectrum of the [Ba(Ccy)(H₂O)₂] complex has an absent of the proton of -COOH groups upon the deprotonated of carboxylic group.
