Chiral and Achiral Bis（2-oxazolinylphenolato）nickel（Ⅱ） Complexes-Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Catalytic Properties

Introduction Oxidation was a very important reaction both in synthetic pathways and in industrial processes. Metal-catalyzed oxidation provided excellent alternatives in synthetic processes. However, molecular oxygen has been applied only in a limited number of metal-catalyzed oxidations, because it was very difficult to activate molecular oxygen and most of transition metal complexes were sensitive to oxygen. It was noted that metal-catalyzed Baeyer-Villiger oxidation was a convenient method…

Effects of Zinc(II) on the Luminescence of Europium(III) in Complexes Containing β‐Diketone and Schiff Bases

The UV, excitation, and luminescence spectra of tris(pivaloyltrifluoroacetonato)europium(III) ([Eu(pta)₃]; Hpta=1,1,1‐trifluoro‐5,5‐dimethylhexane‐2,4‐dione=HA) were measured in the presence of bis(salicylidene)trimethylenediamine (H₂saltn), bis[5‐(tert‐butyl)salicylidene]trimethylenediamine (H₂(^tBu)saltn), or bis(salicylidene)cyclohexane‐1,2‐diyldiamine (H₂salchn), and the corresponding Zn^II complexes [ZnB] (B=Schiff base). The excitation and luminescence spectra of the solution containing [Eu(pta)₃] and [Zn(salchn)] exhibited much stronger intensities than those of solutions containing the other [ZnB] complexes. The introduction of a ^tBu group into the Schiff base was not effective in sensitizing the luminescence of [Eu(pta)₃]. The luminescence spectrum of [ZnB] showed a band around 450 nm. The intensity decreased in the presence of [Eu(pta)₃], reflecting complexation between [Eu(pta)₃] and [ZnB]. On the basis of the change in intensity against the concentration of [ZnB], stability constants were determined for [Eu(pta)₃Zn(saltn)], [Eu(pta)₃Zn{(^tBu)saltn}], and [Eu(pta)₃Zn(salchn)] as 4.13, 4.9 and 5.56, respectively (log , where =[[Eu(pta)₃ZnB]]([[Eu(pta)₃]][[ZnB]])^?1). The quantum yields of these binuclear complexes were determined as 0.15, 0.11, and 0.035, although [Eu(pta)₃Zn(salchn)] revealed the strongest luminescence at 613 nm. The results of X‐ray diffraction analysis for [Eu(pta)₃Zn(saltn)] showed that Zn^II had a coordination number of five and was bridged with Eu^III by three donor O‐atoms, i.e., two from the salicylidene moieties and one from the ketonato group pta.

Structural studies and quantum chemical calculations of Cr(III), Fe(III) and Ru(III) bromazepam complexes

The reaction of bromazepam (7‐bromo‐1,3‐dihydro‐5‐(2‐pyridyl)‐2H ‐1,4‐benzodiazepin‐2‐one, BZM) with Cr(III) ( 1 ), Fe(III) ( 2 ) and Ru(III) ( 3 ) salts gives complexes of the type [M(BZM)₃]⋅3X (X = Cl or NO₃). Structural characterization was extensively carried out using various analytical and spectral tools such as infrared, ¹H NMR and UV–visible spectroscopies and magnetic, conductance, elemental and thermal analyses. BZM is a bidentate ligand and interacts with the metal ions via the pyridine and benzodiazepin‐2‐one nitrogen atoms. The magnetic and electronic properties of 2 and 3 are consistent with low‐spin octahedral complexes. The three BZM molecules are non‐isoenergetically coordinated to the metal ions and this is reflected in the values of the second‐order interaction energy. The antibacterial activity was studied using Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . Coordination of BZM to Cr(III) or Ru(III) ions leads to a marked increase in toxicity with respect to the inactive Fe(III) complex 2 .
