Synthesis,crystal structure,thermal decomposition,and XPS studies of homo and heterotrinuclear Cu(II)–Cu(II)–Cu(II) and Cu(II)–Ni(II)–Cu(II) complexes obtained from salpn type ligands

In this study, a mononuclear CuL complex was prepared by the use of bis-N,N′-(salicylidene)-1, 3-propanediamine (LH₂) and Cu²⁺ ion. NiCl₂ and NiBr₂ salt were treated with this complex in dioxanewater medium and two new complexes [(CuL)₂NiCl₂(H₂O)₂] and [(CuL)₂NiBr₂(H₂O)₂)] with Cu(II)–Ni(II)–Cu(II) nucleus structure were obtained. In addition to this bis-N,N′-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,3-diaminopropane (L^HH₂) was prepared by the reduction of LH₂ with NaBH₄ in MeOH medium. The treatment of this reduced complex with Cu²⁺ ion resulted a complex [(CuL^H)₂CuCl₂] with a structure of Cu(II)–Cu(II)–Cu(II). The complexes prepared were characterized by the use of elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal structures of [(CuL)₂NiBr₂(H₂O)₂] (СIF file CCDC 1448402) and [(CuL^H)₂CuCl₂] (СIF file CCDC 1448401) complexes were elucidated. It was found that halogen ions are coordinated to terminal Cu²⁺ ions which are in a distorted square pyramid coordination sphere. It was determined that the central Cu(II), which joins terminal square pyramidal Cu(II), was coordinated only by the phenolic oxygens of the ligand while the central Ni(II) was coordinated by two phenolic oxygens of the organic ligand and two water molecules. These complexes were investigated by XPS and it was found that the terminal and central Cu²⁺ ions were different in Cu(II)–Cu(II)–Cu(II) complex. Also, the thermal degradation of the CuLH complex unit was observed to exothermic in contrast to the expectations.

     

Nickel(II) and copper(II) – l-cysteine,l-methionine,l-tryptophan-nucleotide ternary complexes

Four new ternary complexes of Cu^II with l-methionine and the nucleotides 5AMP (adenosine 5-phosphate), 5GMP (guanosine 5-phosphate) and 5IMP (inosine 5-phosphate), and with l-tryptophan and 5AMP, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and i.r. spectroscopy. One ternary complex of N^II with l-cysteine and 5IMP was also prepared and characterized. The study of the three ternary compounds of Cu^II, of general formulae Cu-5NMP-l-methionine, indicates coordination of the phosphate group and of N(7) of the purinic ring. l-Methionine is bound by the carboxylic and amino groups. The ternary complex obtained from a mixture of Cu-5AMP and l-tryptophan is a dimer in which the nucleotide bridges the two copper atoms. In the complex of Ni-5IMP and l-cysteine, the nucleotide seems to bind the metal through the N(7) of the heterocyclic ring, and the l-cysteine is coordinated as a bidentate chelate by the carboxyl and thiol groups. E.s.r. spectra of the copper complexes are in good agreement with the low symmetry structure proposed. The one-electron reduction potentials E_c(Fc⁺/Fc) (V) of Cu^II to Cu^I were established for the four copper complexes from cyclic voltammetry studies. The one-electron oxidation potential E_a(Fc⁺/Fc⁺) (V) of Ni^II to Ni^III was also measured for the nickel complex.     

Coordination reactions of 3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethene) with Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) acetylacetonates, valinates, and dipyrrolylmethenates

Synthesis,structure and magnetic studies of copper(II)-nickel(II) complexes withN,N′-bis(2-aminopropyl)oxamidocopper(II)

Three novel heterobinuclear complexes have been prepared and identified as [Cu(oxap)Ni(L)₂](ClO₄)₂·ξH₂O, where oxap denotes theN,N′-bis(2-aminopropyl)oxamido dianion and L denotes 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen). The crystal structure of [Cu(oxap)Ni(phen)₂]-(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O has been determined. Crystal data: triclinic, space group , a=12.079 (6), b=12.409 (4), c=17.261 (8) ?, α=70.91 (2), β=86.72 (4), γ=89.19 (3)^o. At room temperature, Z=2. The Cu^II is in a square planar environment and the Ni^II is in an octahedral environment. The Cu−Ni distance is 5.292 ?. The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibilities of [Cu(oxap)Ni(phen)₂]-(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O and [Cu(oxap)Ni(bipy)₂](ClO₄)₂ have been studied in the 4.2–300 K range, giving the exchange integral J=−92.4 cm⁻¹ for bipy and J=−94.3 cm⁻¹ for phen. These results are commensurate with antiferromagnetic interactions between the adjacent metal ions.     

Synthesis,characterisation and electrochemical study of 4,4′-bis(salicylideneimino) diphenylethane and its complexes with cobalt(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II)

We have prepared and characterised a new series of metal complexes obtained from 4,4-bis(salicylideneimino)diphenylethane (saldipH₂) and cobalt(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II) chlorides. In every case, the coordinating atoms are N and O. However, each compound has its own structure:[Co(saldip)]·2 H₂O is monomeric and a mononuclear species, [Cu₂(saldip)₂(H₂O)] is a binuclear complex and finally the cadmium complex is formulated as:[(CdCl₂)₂(saldipH₂)]·CdCl₂. An electrochemical study (cyclic voltammetry) indicates that the reduction, as well as the oxidation, of copper in [Cu₂(saldip)₂(H₂O)] proceeds in two steps. For the reduction of the two other complexes, two steps are indicated out: the first is attributed to the reduction of the metal and the second to the reduction of the coordinated ligands.     

Synthesis, Structure and Properties of Tetrakis (thiourea) mercury (II) Tetrakis (thiocyanato-N) zinc (II)

Introduction In recent years, much attention has been paid to the research of novel, high-quality nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, especially those metalorganic complex crystals that can generate high efficient second-harmonic blue-violet light using GaAlAs laser diodes. In order to find this type of crystals, much work has been done in our laboratory on the complex crystals of MM'(SCN)4 and MM'(SCN)·nL, where M = Zn, Cd, Mn; M' = Cd, Hg and L = adduct1-6.

Summary Mn^II, Ni^II and Cu^II complexes of (1,3-bis-aminomethyl)-cyclohexane-N,N,N,N-tetrakisbenzimidazole (CDTB) have been prepared and characterized by spectral techniques. The complexes are monomeric and pseudo-octa-hedral, as evidenced by their e.p.r. spectra and analytical data. Parameters ², ², ² and for Cu^II complexes, and the crystal field splitting parameter (10 Dq) together with the Nephelauxetic ratio (), for Ni^II complexes, are reported.     

Synthesis and characterisation of Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with 5-bromo-N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-o-tolidine

New complexes of type [M(HL)(CH₃COO)(OH₂)_m]·nH₂O (where M:Co, m = 2, n = 2; M:Ni, m = 2, n = 1.5; M:Zn, m = 0, n = 2.5 and M:Cd, m = 0, n = 0; H₂L:5-bromo-N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-o-tolidine) have been synthesized and characterized by microanalytical, IR, UV–Vis-NIR and magnetic data. Electronic spectra of Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes are characteristic for an octahedral stereochemistry. The IR spectra indicate a chelate coordination mode for mono-deprotonated Schiff base and a bidentate one for acetate ion. The thermal transformations are complex according to TG and DTA curves including dehydration, acetate decomposition and oxidative degradation of the Schiff base. The final product of decomposition is the most stable metallic oxide.     

Interaction of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with N,N′-(aldose)2-thiocarbohydrazide: synthesis,electrochemistry, and spectral characterization

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with N,N′-(aldose)₂–thiocarbohydrazide (LH₂) were synthesized, isolated as solid products and characterized by analytical means as well as by spectral techniques, FTIR, ¹H NMR, EPR, UV spectroscopy, and CD. All the metal ions formed M[LH]X complexes. Molar conductance values in DMF indicate non-electrolytic complexes. In DMSO with tetramethylammonium chloride supporting electrolyte, the copper complex displays irreversible cyclic voltammetric responses with E _p near ?0.621 and 0.461 V versus Ag/AgCl at scan rate of 0.1 V s^?1. Probable structures for the complexes are proposed.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of copper(II)-cobalt(II) complexes ofN,N′-1,2-propanedisalicylamidatocuprate(II)

Summary The binuclear metal complexes [Cu(sampn)Co(L)₂] (L=bipy, phen), have been prepared by the reaction of sodiumN,N-1,2-propanedisalicylamidatocuprate(II) heptahydrate, Na₂[Cu(sampn)] 7H₂O, with a divalent metalion, and 2,2-bipyridine or 1, 10-phenathroline. The complexes were characterized by variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements; the results indicate that a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction operates between the metal ions.     

β-diketone complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and palladium(II)

Summary The reactions of manganese(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) acetates (1 mole) with antipyrine-4-azo--ethylcyanoacetate (HL¹) and antipyrine-4-azo--acetylacetone (HL²) (1 mole) produce complexes of the M(L)₂ type. K₂PdCl₄ (1 mole) reacts with HL¹ and HL² (1 mole) to yield complexes of the general formula PdLCl, the ligands behaving as monobasic tridentates. The electronic spectral and magnetic data show the complexes to be high-spin octahedral, whereas the palladium(II) complexes are diamagnetic square planar. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductance measurements and i.r. and electronic spectra as well as magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermal (t.g.a. and d.t.a.) analysis.Nuclear Material Authority.

A new 1,2-diamine ligand, N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)stilbenediamine (L), has been prepared by reduction of the condensation product of benzaldehyde with 2-aminoethanol with Al amalgam. Mononuclear complexes of the [CuL(H₂O)]X₂ type where X=Cl^– or AcO^– with Cu^II and PdLCl₂ with palladium(II) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and i.r., u.v.–vis. or ¹H-n.m.r. spectroscopy.     

Thermochemistry of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes with N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea and N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea

Two substituted N-acylthioureas and the respective Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized, namely: N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea (Hnbtu); N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea (Hibtu); bis[N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]nickel(II), [Ni(nbtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]copper(II), [Cu(nbtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]nickel(II), [Ni(ibtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]copper(II), [Cu(ibtu)₂]. The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation and sublimation of the two N-acylthioureas were measured, at T = 298.15 K, by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry and Calvet microcalorimetry, respectively. The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of the Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were determined, at T = 298.15 K, by high precision solution–reaction calorimetry. From the results obtained, the enthalpies of hypothetical metal–ligand and metal–metal exchange reactions, in the gaseous phase, were derived, thus allowing a discussion of the gaseous phase energetic difference between the complexation of Ni(II) and Cu(II) to 1,3-ligand systems with (S,O) ligator atoms.

Synthesis,characterization, spectral studies and antifungal activity of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 3,3′-bis[N,N,di(carboxymethyl)-aminomethyl]- o -cresol sulphonphthalein

Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of the type Na₄[ML(H₂O)₂] of the ligand, 3,3′-bis[N,N-di(carboxymethyl)-aminomethyl]-o-cresol sulphonphthalein (Xylenol Orange, Na₄H₂L), have been synthesized and characterized by different physico-chemical (elemental analyses, solubility, electrolytic conductances, magnetic susceptibility measurements) and spectral (u.v.-vis, i.r., e.s.r., and powder X-ray diffraction) techniques for their structure determination. The data suggest 1?:?1 (M?:?L) compositions and octahedral geometries around M(II) except for Cu(II). Antifungal activity of the complexes measured against ten fungi show significant activity against Alternaria brassicicola, Alternaria solanai, Cercospora species and Helminthosporium oryzae and moderate antifungal activity against Curvularia species, Curvularia lunata, Curvularia penniseti, Colletotrichum capsici, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus Erysiphae pisi and Fusarium udum fungi.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Potassium Hydro(benzoyl)(phthalyl)borate and Its Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), and Copper(II) Complexes

A new organoborate ligand, hydro(benzoyl)(phthalyl)borate has been synthesized as its potassium salt (KL) and treatment of KL with one equivalent of MCl2•6H2O gave complexes ML(H2O)x•Cl [x＝2, M＝Co(II), Ni(II); x＝1, M＝Cu(II)]. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H NMR, ESI MS, UV-Vis techniques, conductivity and magnetic data measurements. Spectroscopic results suggest a square planar geometry in the Cu(II) complex, while the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes possess an octahedral geometry. Antibacterial activities (in vitro) of the ligand and its metal complexes were studied against two Gram positive (B. subtillis and B. magterium) and two Gram negative bacteria (E. Coli and S. boydi) at a single concentration (75 μg/mL) by using the Disc diffusion method. Antifungal activities (in vitro) were also checked for the compounds by using the same method against Candida albicans 10261, Penicillium sp. and Asperjillius niger., at a single concentration (50 μg/mL). The results showed that all the metal complexes, specially the nickel(II) complex, have higher antibacterial and antifungal activities than the corresponding potassium salt.     

Synthesis,spectral, magnetic,electrochemical and catalytic studies of cyclam-based copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes–effect of N-substitution

New N-substituted cyclam ligands 1,8-[bis(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl)benzyl]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, 1,8-[bis(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl)benzyl]-4,11-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, 1,8-[bis(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-bromo)benzyl]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, and 1,8-[bis(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-bromo)benzyl]-4,11-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (L¹–L⁴) were synthesized and mononuclear copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes prepared. The ligands and complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, electronic, IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectral studies. N-alkylation causes red shifts in the λ_max values of the complexes. Copper(II) complexes show one-electron, quasi-reversible reduction waves in the range ?1.04 to ?1.00 V. The nickel(II) complexes show one-electron, quasi-reversible reduction waves in the range ?1.18 to ?1.30 V and one-electron, quasi-reversible oxidation waves in the range +1.20 to +1.40 V. The reduction potential of the copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of the ligands L¹ to L² and L³ to L⁴ shift anodically on N-alkylation. 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?=?1.70–1.74 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 on the hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenylphosphate using the copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes as catalyst were carried out. The tetra-N-substituted complexes have higher rate constants than the corresponding disubstituted complexes.     

Complexes of Cu(I) and Pd(II) with (+)-camphor and (–)-cavrone thiosemicarbazones: Synthesis,structure, and cytotoxicity of the Pd(II) complex

CuLCl, CuL¹Cl, PdLCl₂, and PdL¹Cl₂ complexes [L and L¹ being (+)-camphor and (–)-carvone thiosemicarbazones, respectively] have been synthesized. The structure of binuclear [Pd₂L²²Cl₄] complex has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. The L² ligand (dehydrogenated (–)-carvone thiosemicarbazone) is coordinated via the bridging S atom to two Pd atoms. The complexes of Cu(I) and Pd(II) presumably have polynuclear and binuclear structure, respectively. These facts are in good agreement with IR and NMR spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry data which indicate the coordination of L and L¹ ligands via the S atom. The influence of L¹ and PdL¹Cl₂ on viability of the Hep2 cell line has been studied. The PdL¹Cl₂ complex is more cytotoxic than L¹ ligand.
