Structural, spectroscopic and thermal characterization of 2-tert-butylaminomethylpyridine-6-carboxylic acid methylester and its Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and UO(2)(II) complexes

Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and UO(2)(II) complexes with the ligand 2-tert-butylaminomethylpyridine-6-carboxylic acid methylester (HL(2)) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, thermal analysis and spectral data. 1:1 M:HL(2) complexes, with the general formula [M(HL(2))X(2)].nH(2)O (where M = Co(II) (X = Cl, n = 0), Ni(II) (X = Cl, n = 3), Cu(II) (grey colour, X = AcO, n = 1), Cu(II) (yellow colour, X = Cl, n = 0) and Zn(II) (X = Br, n = 0). In addition, the Fe(III) and UO(2)(II) complexes of the type 1:2 M:HL(2) and with the formulae [Fe(L(2))(2)]Cl and [UO(2)(HL(2))(2)](NO(3))(2) are prepared. From the IR data, it is seen that HL(2) ligand behaves as a terdentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the pyridyl N, carboxylate O and protonated NH group; except the Fe(III) complex, it coordinates via the deprotonated NH group. This is supported by the molar conductance data, which show that all the complexes are non-electrolytes, while the Fe(III) and UO(2)(II) complexes are 1:1 electrolytes. IR and H1-NMR spectral studies suggest a similar behaviour of the Zn(II) complex in solid and solution states. From the solid reflectance spectral data and magnetic moment measurements, the complexes have a trigonal bipyramidal (Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes) and octahedral (Fe(III), UO(2)(II) complexes) geometrical structures. The thermal behaviour of the complexes is studied and the different dynamic parameters are calculated applying Coats-Redfern equation.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic, thermal and antimicrobial studies of some novel metal complexes of Schiff base derived from [N1-(4-methoxy-1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yl)sulfanilamide] and 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde

Keeping in view the chemotherapeutic of the sulfa-drugs, Schiff base namely 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde-sulfametrole (HL) and its tri-positive and di-positive metal complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, mass spectra, UV-vis and thermal analysis (TGA and DrTG). The low molar conductance values suggest the non-electrolytic nature of these complexes. IR spectra show that HL is coordinated to the metal ions in a tetradentate manner through hetero five-membered ring-S and azomethine-N, enolic sulfonamide-OH and thiadiazole-N, respectively. Zn(II), Cd(II) and UO2(II) complexes are found to be diamagnetic (as expected). The proposed general formulae of the prepared complexes are [M2X4(HL)(H2O)4] (where M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II), X=Cl, [Fe2Cl6(HL)(H2O)2], [(FeSO4)2(HL)(H2O)4] and [(UO2)2(HL) (NO3)4].H2O. The thermal behaviour of these chelates shows that the hydrated complexes loss water of hydration in first step in case of uranium complexes followed loss coordinated water followed immediately by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in the subsequent steps. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as DeltaE*, DeltaH*, DeltaS*, and DeltaG* are calculated from the DrTG curves using Coats-Redfern method. The antimicrobial activity of the obtained products was performed using Chloramphenicol and Grisofluvine as standards, indicate that in some cases metallation increase activity than the ligand.     

Mononuclear and polynuclear chelates of picolinoyldithiocarbazate

Mononuclear and polynuclear chelates of potassium picolinoyldithiocarbazate (KHPcDC) with Mn(II), Fe(ll1), Fe(II), Co(Il), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Pd(II) and U(VI)O2 have been prepared and characterized by chemical and thermal (TG, DTG, DTA) analyses, molar conductivities, spectral (UV-Visible, IR, NMR, ESR) and magnetic moment measurements. The molar conductivities of the complexes lie in the non-electrolyte range whilst KHPcDC is a 1:1 electrolyte. Changes in selected vibrational absorption of the ligand upon coordination indicate that KHPcDC behaves as monoanionic and coordinates in a bidentate, tridentate and/or bridging tetradentate manner. Trans-form structure is proposed for [Pd(HPcDC)2] x 2H20 and [Cd(HPcDC)2] complexes on the basis of NMR data. An octahedral structure is proposed for Fe(III), Fe(II) and Ni(II) complexes, a square-planar structure for Co(II) and Pd(II) complexes and a tetragonally distorted octahedral structure for the Cu(II) chelate on the basis of spectroscopic and magnetic data. The ligand field parameters (B, Dq, beta) for the Fe(III) and Ni(II) chelates were calculated. TG, DTG and DTA studies support the different modes of chelation of KHPcDC. The solid metal acetate chelates have a unique decomposition exotherm profile which can be used as a rapid and sensitive tool for the detection of acetate-containing complexes.

Ternary Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and UO(2)(II) chelates with tenoxicam (Ten) drug (H(2)L(1)) and dl-alanine (Ala) (HL(2)) and also the binary UO(2)(II) chelate with Ten were studied. The structures of the chelates were elucidated using elemental, molar conductance, magnetic moment, IR, diffused reflectance and thermal analyses. UO(2)(II) binary chelate was isolated in 1:2 ratio with the formula [UO(2)(H(2)L)(2)](NO(3))(2). The ternary chelates were isolated in 1:1:1 (M:H(2)L(1):L(2)) ratios and have the general formulae [M(H(2)L(1))(L(2))(Cl)(n)(H(2)O)(m)].yH(2)O (M=Fe(III) (n=2, m=0, y=2), Co(II) (n=1, m=1, y=2) and Ni(II) (n=1, m=1, y=3)); [M(H(2)L(1))(L(2))](X)(z).yH(2)O (M=Cu(II) (X=AcO, z=1, y=0), Zn(II) (X=AcO, z=1, y=3) and UO(2)(II) (X=NO(3), z=1, y=2)). IR spectra reveal that Ten behaves as a neutral bidentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the pyridine-N and carbonyl-O groups, while Ala behaves as a uninegatively bidentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the deprotonated carboxylate-O and amino-N. The magnetic and reflectance spectral data confirm that all the chelates have octahedral geometry except Cu(II) and Zn(II) chelates have tetrahedral structures. Thermal decomposition of the chelates was discussed in relation to structure and different thermodynamic parameters of the decomposition stages were evaluated.     

Synthesis, characterization and biological activity of some transition metals with Schiff base derived from 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde and aminobenzoic acid

Metal complexes of Schiff base derived from 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde and 2-aminobenzoic acid (HL) are reported and characterized based on elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance and thermal analysis (TGA). The ligand dissociation as well as the metal-ligand stability constants were calculated pH metrically at 25 degrees C and ionic strength mu=0.1 (1M NaCl). The complexes are found to have the formulae [M(HL)2](X)n.yH2O (where M=Fe(III) (X=Cl, n=3, y=3), Co(II) (X=Cl, n=2, y=1.5), Ni(II) (X=Cl, n=2, y=1) and UO2(II) (X=NO3, n=2, y=0)) and [M(L)2] (where M=Cu(II) (X=Cl) and Zn(II) (X=AcO)). The molar conductance data reveal that Fe(III) and Co(II), Ni(II) and UO2(II) chelates are ionic in nature and are of the type 3:1 and 2:1 electrolytes, respectively, while Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes are non-electrolytes. IR spectra show that HL is coordinated to the metal ions in a terdentate manner with ONS donor sites of the carboxylate O, azomethine N and thiophene S. From the magnetic and solid reflectance spectra, it is found that the geometrical structure of these complexes are octahedral. The thermal behaviour of these chelates shows that the hydrated complexes losses water molecules of hydration in the first step followed immediately by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in the subsequent steps. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as, E*, DeltaH*, DeltaS* and DeltaG* are calculated from the DrTG curves using Coats-Redfern method. The synthesized ligands, in comparison to their metal complexes also were screened for their antibacterial activity against bacterial species, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus pyogones and Fungi (Candida). The activity data show that the metal complexes to be more potent/antibacterial than the parent Schiff base ligand against one or more bacterial species.     

Spectroscopic investigations and physico-chemical characterization of newly synthesized mixed-ligand complexes of 2-methylbenzimidazole with metal ions

Some mixed ligand complexes containing 2-methylbenzimidazole and thiocyanate ion were synthesized. Free ligands and their metal complexes were characterized using elemental analysis, determination of metal, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity, infrared, UV-VIS, and (¹H, ¹³C) NMR spectra, and X-ray structure analysis. The results suggest that the Ag(I) complex has linear geometry, Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) have tetrahedral geometry, Pd(II) complex has square planar geometry, VO(IV) square pyramidal geometry, Pb(II) irregular tetrahedral geometry, and that the Cr(III) and Mn(II) complexes have octahedral geometry. The following general formulae were proposed for the prepared complexes: [AgBX], [CrB₃X₃], (HB)₂[MnB₂X₄] · 2B and [MB₂X₂], where B = 2-methylbenzimidazole, HB = 2-methylbenzimidazolium, X = thiocyanate ion, and M = VO(IV), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II). Molar conductance of a 10⁻³ M solution in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) indicates that all the complexes are non-electrolytes except the Mn(II) complex which is an electrolyte because the molar conductivity of its solution in DMF is high.

The structures of the complexes were elucidated using elemental, IR, molar conductance, magnetic moment, diffused reflectance and thermal analyses. The UO2(II) binary complex was isolated in 1:2 ratio with the formula [UO2(H2L)2](NO3)2. The ternary complexes were isolated in 1:1:1 (M:H2L1:L2) ratios.

Pir behaves as a neutral bidentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the pyridine-N and carbonyl-O groups, while Ala behaves as a uninegatively bidentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the deprotonated carboxylate-O and amino-N. The magnetic and reflectance spectral data show that the complexes have octahedral geometry except Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes have tetrahedral structures. The thermal decomposition of the complexes was discussed in relation to structure, and the thermodynamic parameters of the decomposition stages were evaluated.

The data show that the ligand are coordinated to the metal ions via the sulfonamide O and deprotonated NH atoms in an octahedral manner. The H(4)L ligand forms complexes of the general formulae [(MX(z))(2)(H(2)L)H(2)O)(n)] and [(FeSO(4))(2) (H(4)L) (H(2)O)(4)], where X=NO(3) in case of UO(2)(II) and Cl in case of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II). The molar conductance data show that the complexes are non-electrolytes. The thermal behaviour of the complexes was studied and different thermodynamic parameters were calculated using Coats-Redfern method. Most of the prepared complexes showed high bactericidal activity and some of the complexes show more activity compared with the ligand and standards.

A macrocyclic ligand, bdta (where bdta=3,6,9,12,15,18-hexaaza-1,2,10,11-tetraphenyl-2,9,11,18-tetraenecyclododecane) has been prepared by cyclocondensation of benzil with diethylenetriamine which efficiently encapsulates transition as well as pseudo-transition metal ions leading to the formation of M(bdta)Cl2 type complexes [where M=Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)]. The analytical, spectroscopic and magnetic moment data suggests an octahedral geometry for all the complexes. EPR spectra of Mn(II) and Cu(II) show considerable exchange interaction in the complex. They are non-conducting in DMSO. The TGA profile of the ligand and its complexes are identical and consists of two discreet stages. The voltammogram of Cu-complex exhibits a quasi-reversible one-electron transfer wave for Cu(II)/Cu(I) couple.     

New quadridentate ONNS ligands and their metal complexes

Summary Two new quadridentate sulphur-nitrogen chelating agents have been prepared and characterized. These ligands yield stable complexes of general formulae, M(ONNS)·xH₂O (M=Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pd and Pt; ONNS^–2=ligand dianion; x=0, 1 or 2) and M(ONNS)X (M=Co or Fe; X=Cl or AcO). The nicke(II) complexes are diamagnetic and squareplanar. Based on magnetic and spectral data a square-planar structure is also assigned to the copper(II) complexes.

Metal-catalysed oxidation processes in thiosemicarbazones: new complexes with the ligand N-{2-([4-N-ethylthiosemicarbazone]methyl)phenyl}-p-toluenesulfonamide

The coordination behaviour of a new thiosemicarbazone Schiff-base building block, N-{2-([4-N-ethylthiosemicarbazone]methyl)phenyl}-p-toluenesulfonamide, H2L1 (1), incorporating a bulky tosyl group, towards Mn II, Fe II, Co II, Ni II, Cu II, Zn II, Cd II, Ag I, Sn II, and Pb II has been investigated by means of an electrochemical preparative procedure. Most metal complexes of L1 have the general formula [M(L1)]2.nX (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Cd, Pb; n=0-4, X=H2O or CH3CN), as confirmed by the structure of [Pb(L1)]2 (15), in which the lone pair on lead is stereochemically active. This lead(II) complex shows an intense fluorescence emission with a quantum yield of 0.13. In the case of silver, the complex formed was found to possess a stoichiometry of [Ag2(L1)]2.3H2O. During reactions with manganese and copper metals, interesting catalysed processes have been found to take place, with remarkable consequences regarding the ligand skeleton structure. In synthesising the manganese complex, we obtained an unexpected dithiolate thiosemicarbazone tosyl ligand, H2L2, as a side-product, which has been fully characterised, including by X-ray diffraction analysis. In the case of copper, the solid complex has the formula [CuL1]2, but the crystallised product shows the copper atoms coordinated to a new cyclised thiosemicarbazone ligand, H2L3, as in the structures of the complexes [Cu(L3)]2.CH3CN (8) and [Cu(L3)(H2O)]2.CH3CN.H2O (9). The zinc complex [Zn(L1)]4 (12) displays a particular tetranuclear zeolite-type structure capable of hosting small molecules or ions, presumably through hydrogen bonding.     

Structure of (5656)macrotetracyclic chelates in the ternary systems M(II)-ethanedithioamide-acetone (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) according to DFT calculations

The thermodynamic and geometric parameters of M(II) macrotetracyclic chelates (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) with the (NNNN) coordination of the donor ligand sites, formed by the complexation reactions of corresponding M(II) compounds, ethanedithioamide H₂N-C(=S)-C(=S)-NH₂, and acetone H₃C-C(=O)-CH₃ in gelatin-immobilized matrix implants have been calculated by the OPBE/TZVP density functional theory method with the use of the Gaussian 09 program package. The bond lengths and bond and torsion angles in these complexes have been reported. It has been shown that despite the fact that the MN₄ chelate core in them is almost planar, the five- and six-membered chelate rings are pronouncedly non-coplanar. In the Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes, these chelate rings are pairwise identical, whereas in the Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes, they are noticeably different.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic and Magnetic Studies on Metal Complexes of 5-Methyl-3-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)Pyrazole

A tridentate ONN donor ligand, 5-methyl-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyrazole; H₂L, was synthesized by reaction of 2-(3-ketobutanoyl)phenol with hydrazine hydrate. The ligand was characterized by IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectra. ¹H NMR spectra indicated the presence of the phenolic OH group and the imine NH group of the heterocyclic moiety. Different types of mononuclear metal complexes of the following formulae [(HL)₂M][sdot]xH₂O (M=VO, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd), [(HL)₂M(H₂O)₂] (M=Mn and UO₂) and [(HL)LFe(H₂O)₂] were obtained. The Fe(III) complex, [(HL)LFe(H₂O)₂] undergoes solvatochromism. Elemental analyses, IR, electronic and ESR spectra as well as thermal, conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements were used to elucidate the structures of the newly prepared metal complexes. A square-pyramidal geometry is suggested for the VO(IV) complex, square-planar for the Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, octahedral for the Fe(III) and Mn(II) complexes and tetrahedral for the Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes, while the UO₂(VI) complex is eight-coordinate. Transmetallation of the UO₂(VI) ion in its mononuclear complex by Fe(III), Ni(II) or Cu(II) ions occurred and mononuclear Fe(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were obtained. IR spectra of the products did not have the characteristic UO₂ absorption band and the electronic spectra showed absorption bands similar to those obtained for the corresponding mononuclear complexes. Also, transmetallation of the Ni(II) ion in its mononuclear complex by Fe(III) has occurred. The antifungal activity of the ligand and the mononuclear complexes were investigated.

From the elemental analyses data, the complexes were proposed to have the general formulae [M2X3(HL)(H2O)5].yH2O (where M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II), X=Cl, y=0-3); [Fe2Cl5(HL)(H2O)3].2H2O; [(FeSO4)2(H2L)(H2O)4] and [(UO2)2(NO3)3(HL)(H2O)].2H2O. The molar conductance data reveal that all the metal chelates were non-electrolytes. The IR spectra show that, H2L is coordinated to the metal ions in a tetradentate manner with ON and NO donor sites of the azomethine-N, phenolic-OH, enolic sulphonamide-OH and thiadiazole-N. From the magnetic and solid reflectance spectra, it is found that the geometrical structures of these complexes are octahedral. The thermal behaviour of these chelates shows that the hydrated complexes losses water molecules of hydration in the first step followed immediately by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in the subsequent steps. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as, E*, DeltaH*, DeltaS* and DeltaG* are calculated from the DrTG curves using Coats-Redfern method. The synthesized ligand, in comparison to their metal complexes also were screened for their antibacterial activity against bacterial species, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Bacillus subtillus, Staphylococcus aureus and Fungi (Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus flavus). The activity data show that the metal complexes to be more potent/antimicrobial than the parent Shciff base ligand against one or more microbial species.

The distribution behaviour of the complexes formed between the terdentate ligand, pyridine-2-aldehyde-2'-pyridylhydrazone, and Zn(II), Cd(II), Fe(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Pd(II) has been studied between aqueous buffer and chloroform. Results are interpreted in terms of the complexes in the aqueous solution and the loss of a proton from each coordinated ligand to form an uncharged, extractable species. The suitability of PAPHY as a spectrophotometric reagent used in conjunction with a solvent extraction procedure is discussed.

The carboxylate groups in the complexes studied are mono- and bidentate (Co, Ni), bidentate chelating and bridging (Zn) or bidentate chelating (Mn, Cu, Cd). The magnetic moments for paramagnetic complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) attain values 5.92, 5.05, 3.36 and 1.96 M.B., respectively. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

The ligand forms the complexes PdLCl and UO₂L₂,2H₂O, where L is a uninegatively charged tridentate ligand (ONO donor sets).     

Stereochemistry of new nitrogen containing heterocyclic aldehyde. Part XI. Novel ligational behaviour of quinoline as chelate ligand toward transition metal ions

Novel complexes of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and UO2(II) with a new Schiff base derived from 8-hydroxy-7-quinolinecarboxaldehyde and 2-aminoethanethiol (LH2) (system name: 2-(8-hydroxy-7-carboxalimino)ethanethiol.) have been prepared and characterized on the basis of analytical, thermal, magnetic moment, infrared, electronic, NMR and EPR spectral data. From the analytical, NMR and thermal data and stoichiometry of the complexes indicate that LH2 act as a dibasic tridentate ligand with ONS donors towards all the metal ions. The magnetic moment, electronic and EPR spectral data commensurate that the Mn(II), Fe(II), Ni(II) and UO2(II) complexes are dimeric with octahedral configuration while the Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes are monomeric with square-planar and tetrahedral geometries, respectively.
