Syntheses and crystal structures of nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes with a biphenyl-bridged bis(pyrrole-2-yl-methyleneamine) ligand

The reactions of nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) acetate salts with a potentially tetradentate biphenyl-bridged bis(pyrrole-2-yl-methyleneamine) ligand yielded three complexes with different coordination geometries. X-ray crystal structural analysis reveals that in the nickel(II) complex each nickel is five-coordinate, distorted trigonal bipyramid. In the copper(II) complex, each copper is four-coordinate, between square planar and tetrahedral. In the zinc(II) complex, each zinc is four-coordinate with a distorted tetrahedral geometry and the molar ratio of the zinc and ligand is 1 : 2.     

Polarized spectroscopy and hybrid materials of chiral Schiff base Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) complexes with included or separated azo-groups

Chiral Schiff base complexes containing azo-groups, bis(N-R-1-naphtylethyl-4-phenyldiazenylsalicydenaminato) nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes affording a distorted square planar trans-[MN₂O₂] coordination geometry were prepared newly. Organic/inorganic hybrid materials in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cast films of them (a containing type) or the analogous chiral Schiff base complexes, bis(N-R-1-phenylethyl-3,5-dichlorosalicydenaminato) nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II), and azobenzene (AZ) (a separated type) were assembled for comparison of polarized UV light induced molecular arrangement caused by Weigert effect. Investigation of parameters for optical anisotropy of metal complexes as well as AZ suggested that the degree of increasing optical anisotropy of the containing type is higher than that of the separated type based on π-π^∗ (of which characteristic band appeared around 380 nm), n-π^∗, and d-d bands of polarized absorption electronic spectra. Rigid nickel(II) or zinc(II) complexes are easy to increase optical anisotropy than flexible copper(II) complexes for both types.     

Chelating resin containing s-bonded dithizonefor the separation of copper(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II)

Analytical and physicochemical properties of a crosslinked poly (vinyl pyridine) based resin containing dithizone were examined. The resin was further used for the preconcentration of copper, nickel and zinc at batch and column level. Various conditions such as pH, equilibration time, temperature were optimised for the maximum loading of copper, nickel and zinc. The loading capacities of the resin for copper, nickel and zinc were observed to be 0.51, 0.59 and 0.65 mmol g⁻¹ of dry resin respectively. Elution of loaded copper, nickel and zinc from the resin was done by using 0.1 M HCl, 0.1 M H₂SO₄ and 0.1 M HNO₃ respectively. Separation of copper, nickel and zinc in binary and ternary mixtures was achieved without any cross contamination.     

The role of chiral dopants in organic/inorganic hybrid materials containing chiral Schiff base Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes

Chiral Schiff base complexes containing azo-groups, bis(N-R-1-cyclohexylethyl-4-phenyldiazenylsalicydenaminato) nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes, and without azo-groups, bis(N-R-1-cyclohexylethyl-3,5-dichlorosalicydenaminato) nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes, affording a distorted square planar trans-[MN₂O₂] coordination geometry were prepared. Organic/inorganic hybrid materials in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) spincoat films of the complexes (both the azobenzene (AZ) containing type and the latter complexes of the AZ separated type) were assembled for a comparison of polarized UV light induced molecular arrangement caused by the Weigert effect. Investigation of the parameters for the optical anisotropy of the metal complexes as well as AZ suggested that the degree of increasing optical anisotropy of the containing type was higher than that of the separated type based on π-π^∗ (of which a characteristic band appeared around 380 nm) and n-π^∗ bands of polarized absorption electronic spectra. In the AZ containing type, the rigid nickel(II) or zinc(II) complexes easily increase the optical anisotropy compared to the flexible copper(II) complexes. In the AZ separated type, interestingly, enhancement of some CD bands suggests the role of chiral dopants of some complexes without azo-groups for AZ.     

Potentiometric study of Cd(II) and Pb(II) complexation with two high molecular weight poly(acrylic acids); comparison with Cu(II) and Ni(II)

The cadmium (II) or lead (II) complex formation with two poly(acrylic acids) of high molecular weight (Mw=2.5×10⁵ and 3×10⁶) was investigated in dilute aqueous solution (NaNO₃ 0.1 mol l⁻¹; 25°C). Potentiometric titrations were carried out to determine the stability constants of the MA and MA₂ complex species formed. Bjerrum’s method, modified by Gregor et al. (J. Phys. Chem. 59 (1955) 34–39), for the study of polymeric acids was used. The results were compared to those previously obtained in the same conditions with copper (II) and nickel (II) . It appeared that the two polymers under study present similar binding properties and that the stability constants of the complex species formed increased in the following order, depending on the metal ion: Ni(II)β₁₀₂ was found to be close to 7.0) and allowed the formation of the predominant PbA₂ species in a quite large pH domain. Finally, the greater stability of PAA complexes compared to those of their monomeric analogs, glutaric and acetic acids, was confirmed.     

Complex formation of copper(II) and nickel(II) with N-arylthiopicolinamides

The reactions of N-arylthiopicolinamides (HL) with copper(II) and nickel(II) ions in organic and aqueous-organic solutions were studied. On addition of HCl, the transformation of ML₂ complexes into M(HL)Cl₂ occurs, while the reverse reaction takes place under the action of amphoteric protic solvents. The structures of the isolated complexes were established by IR and UV spectroscopy.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1546–1550, September, 1993.     

Structure of the nitrosoguanidine complexes of nickel(II) and copper(II) by X-ray crystallography and computational analysis

Using the X-ray structure of solid nitrosoguanidine (ngH), potential structures of its complex with aqueous nickel(II) were surmised. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction determination of the Ni(II) complex confirmed one of these configurations. The X-ray structural parameters were compared with the most stable gaseous configurations derived from ab initio-MO calculations. The lowest energy calculated configuration of the nickel(II) complex and the X-ray crystal structure are in excellent agreement. The neutral diamagnetic, planar, red-colored [bis(nitrosoguanidate)nickel(II)] complex, [Ni(ng)₂]°, is nitrogen coordinated in the trans configuration. It is highly insoluble in all solvents investigated, and has essentially the same crystal symmetry and unit-cell dimensions as the free ligand. In ligand crystals, two molecules have four nitrogen atoms aligned in a plane such that they are suitable for coordination to a nickel ion (1.945, 2.064?Å), when it is at the 1/2,?1/2,?1/2 unit-cell position. Furthermore, the complexes stack, as in [Ni(dmg)₂]°, placing the nickel ions in nearly perfect positions for weak metal–metal bonding between adjacent layers at the near optimum distance of 3.65(1)?Å. This results in a tight, linear macromolecule having low volatility and the extremely low solubility observed. As far as we are aware this is the first instance in which a ligand crystal structure is essentially the same as the complex it forms, with minor differences in bond distances, angles and torsion angles, and suggests some potentially unique properties and applications for this material.

Analytical Separation of Copper(II), Cobalt(II) and Nickel(II) Using Polymer Bound Anthrantic Acid

Abstract

The preferential complexing tendency of different nietal ions towards chelating agents anchored on a polymer has been used for separation of transition metals. the anthranilic acid group was anchored on the polymeric cellulose back-bone by successive coupling with trifunctional reagent cyanuric chloride, in diozane medium, at pH 7 and 9–10, respectively. This polymer bound chelating agent was used to separate copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) in the concentration range 1.0–0.1 mmol/L. the separation of a mixture of two components was quantitative using column chromatography.     

Studies on mononuclear chelates derived from substituted Schiff-base ligands (part 6): synthesis and characterization of a new 3-ethoxysalicyliden- p -aminoacetophenoneoxime and its complexes with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II)

Schiff-base complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and, zinc(II) with 3-ethoxysalicyliden-p-aminoacetophenoneoxime (HL) were prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). A tetrahedral geometry has been assigned to the complexes.     

四氮大环-金属配合物与DNA作用的电化学及谱学研究

Mononuclear copper（Ⅱ）, nickel（Ⅱ） and cobalt（Ⅲ） tetracoordinate macrocyclic complexes were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. The crystal structure of the three compounds were determined by X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical experimental results indicate that the three complexes could interact with DNA mainly by electrostatic interaction. The interaction of tetracoordinate macrocyclic cobalt（Ⅲ） complex with DNA was studied by cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis spectroscopy. The experimental results reveal that tetracoordinate macrocyc- lic cobalt（Ⅲ） complex could interact with DNA by electrostatic interaction to form a 1 ： 1 DNA association complex with a binding constant of 7.50 ×10^3 L·mol^-1.     

Polarized spectroscopy of hybrid materials of chiral Schiff base cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes and photochromic azobenzenes in PMMA films

A chiral Schiff base complex, bis(N-R-1-phenylethyl-3,5-dichlorosalicydenaminato) cobalt(II) was prepared newly and characterized to be a distorted tetrahedral trans-[CoN₂O₂] coordination geometry. Organic/inorganic hybrid materials containing the related cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes and photochromic azobenzene in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cast films were assembled for comparison of their flexibility and molecular arrangement in the photofunctional medium. Characterization of each component and hybrid materials was carried out by means of absorption and CD spectra and thermal analysis (TG–DTA and DSC). Moreover, we have attempted to observe changes of conformation and/or molecular arrangement of the complexes or azobenzene induced by cis–trans photoisomerization of azobenzene after alternate irradiation of polarized UV and visible light. Gradual increase of optical anisotropy was observed for all the hybrid materials regardless of flexibility of Schiff base complexes, and the degree of dichroism and weak intermolecular interactions were discussed based on polarized absorption electronic spectra.     

Photofunctional supramolecular solution systems of chiral Schiff base nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes and photochromic azobenzenes

Preparations, crystal structures, electronic and CD spectra are reported for new chiral Schiff base complexes, bis(N-R-1-naphthylethyl-3,5-dichlorosalicydenaminato)nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II). Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes adopt a square planar trans-[MN₂O₂] coordination geometry with Δ(R,R) configuration. While zinc(II) complex adopts a compressed tetrahedral trans-[MN₂O₂] one with Δ(R,R) configuration and exhibits an emission band around 21 000 cm⁻¹ (λ_ex = 27 000 cm⁻¹). Absorption and CD spectra were recorded in N,N′-dimethylformamide, acetone, methanol, chloroform, and toluene solutions to discuss relationships between spectral shifts of d–d and π–π^∗ bands by structural changes of the complexes and physical properties of the solvents. Moreover, we have attempted to investigate conformational changes of the complexes induced by photoisomerization of azobenzene, 4-hydroxyazobenzene, or 4-aminoazobenzene, in various solutions under different conditions. Weak intermolecular interactions between complexes and azobenzenes are important for the phenomenon by conformational changes of bulky π-conjugated moieties of the ligands.     

Spectrophotometric study of coproporphyrin-I complexes of copper(II) and cobalt(II)

The reagent 3,8,13,18-tetramethyl-21H,23H-porphine-2,7,12,17-tetrapropionic acid or coproporphyrin-I (CPI) was used for the spectrophotometric determination of copper(II) and cobalt(II) in the presence of pyridine and imidazole catalysts. Optimum conditions were investigated and the methods were applied to the determination of parts per billion levels of copper(II) and cobalt(II). The Sandell sensitivities of the recommended procedures were 0.568 μm cm⁻² and 0.464 μg cm⁻² (for A = 0.001) for copper and cobalt, respectively. The relative standard deviations were 2.0% for copper and 1.0% for cobalt. The kinetics of the reaction of CPI with copper(II) and cobalt(II) in the presence of the catalysts and the influence of the temperature were studied, and their kinetic constants determined.The influence of light on the photodecomposition of CPI was also studied.     

Synthesis and characterization of Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes of 2,4-diamino-5-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzyl)pyrimidine complexes

The Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes of 2,4-diamino-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)pyrimidine (trimethoprim) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and IR spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The single-crystal X-ray structure of the Ni(II) complex is reported. Ni(II) is coordinated to the N(1) atoms of two trimethoprim molecules that act as monodentates. Octahedral coordination around the nickel atom is completed by coordination to two molecules of methanol and two acetate ions. Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes are square planar and the metal ions coordinate one molecule of trimethoprim, two chloride ions and a molecule of water.     

Potentiometric study of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexation with two high molecular weight poly(acrylic acids)

The copper (II) or nickel (II) complex formation with two poly(acrylic acids) of high molecular weight (Mw=2.5×10⁵ and 3×10⁶) was investigated in aqueous dilute solution (NaNO₃ 0.1 mol l⁻¹; 25°C). Potentiometric titrations were carried out, first to precise the acid-base properties of the two polymers, and secondly to determine the stability constants of the MA and MA₂ complex species formed. The Bjerrum's method, modified by Gregor et al. (J. Phys. Chem., 59 (1955) 34–39), for the study of polymeric acids was used. The results obtained showed that both polymers present very similar properties. As expected, copper (II) is more readily bound to poly(acrylic acids). CuA₂ was the predominant observed species; the global stability constant log β₁₀₂ was found to be close to 6.6. With nickel (II), none of the complex species MA or MA₂ becomes predominant (log β₁₀₂=5.5). Finally, the PAA complexes present a greater stability compared with that of monomeric analogs.     

Structural studies of six and four coordinate zinc(II), nickel(II) and dioxovanadium(V) complexes with thiosemicarbazones

Three Zn(II) complexes of di-2-pyridyl ketone thiosemicarbazone, an octahedral Ni(II) complex of 2-acetylpyridine hexamethyleneiminyl-3-thiosemicarbazone, and a V(V) complex of 2-acetylpyridine morpholyl-3-thiosemicarbazone were prepared and characterized. Crystal structure of Ni(II) and V(V) complexes are reported. The ligand in the nickel complex is found to coordinate in the thione form with a pseudo octahedral geometry and the vanadium(V) complex has trigonal bipyramidal geometry.     

Spectrophotometric study of Cd(II), Pb(II), Hg(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxylphenyl)porphyrin

The reaction of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxylphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) with Cd(II), Pb(II), Hg(II) and Zn(II) was studied spectrophotometrically and kinetics, equilibrium constants as well as photodecomposition of complexes were determined. It was verified that these metal ions with large radius accelerate the incorporation reaction of zinc into TCPP. On the basis of the mechanism and kinetics of this reaction, a sensitive method for the spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of Zn(II) has been developed. The molar absorptivity of examined Zn-TCPP complex and Sandell's sensitivity at 423 nm were 3.5×10⁵ M⁻¹ cm⁻¹ and 18.3 ng cm⁻². The detection limit for the recommended procedure was 1.4×10⁻⁹ M (0.9 ng ml⁻¹) and precision in range 20-100 ng ml⁻¹ not exceeds 2.7% RSD. The proposed method applied for zinc determination in natural waters and nutritional supplement was compared with AAS results and declared value.     

Thermal, spectral and magnetic behaviour of 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) AND Cu(II)

Four new complexes of 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoic acid anion with manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) cations were synthesized, analysed and characterized by standard chemical and physical methods. 2,3,4-Trimethoxybenzoates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) are polycrystalline compounds with colours typical for M(II) ions. The carboxylate group in the anhydrous complexes of Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) is monodentate and in that of Cu(II) monohydrate is bidentate bridging one. The anhydrous complexes of Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) heated in air to 1273 K are stable up to 505–517 K. Next in the range of 505–1205 K they decompose to the following oxides: Mn₃O₄, CoO, NiO. The complex of Cu(II) is stable up to 390 K, and next in the range of 390–443 K it loses one molecule of water. The final product of its decomposition is CuO. The solubility in water at 293 K is of the order of 10^–3 mol dm^–3 for the Mn(II) complex and 10^–4 mol dm^–3 for Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes. The magnetic moment values of Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions in 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoates experimentally determined in the range of 77–300 K change from 5.64–6.57 μB (for Mn²⁺), 4.73–5.17 μB (for Co²⁺), 3.26–3.35 μB (for Ni²⁺) and 0.27–1.42 μB (for Cu²⁺). 2,3,4-Trimethoxybenzoates of Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) follow the Curie–Weiss law, whereas that of Cu(II) forms a dimer.     

EPR and electronic spectral properties of aryl-substituted bis(dithiophosphato)copper(II) complexes

The spectral properties of bis(diaryl-dithiophosphato)copper(II) complexes, [Cu(S(2)P(OR)(2))(2)], with R = o-cresyl (complex I) and 2,6-dimethylphenyl (complex II) are studied by EPR- and vis spectroscopy. In solid (powder) state both complexes exhibit dark brown colour and are paramagnetic. Room temperature EPR spectra of the complexes dissolved in non-coordinating (C(6)H(5)CH(3), C(5)H(12), C(6)H(14)), acceptor (CHCl(3), CCl(4)) or donor (DMFA, DMSO) solvents have typical features of the chromophore CuS(4). In non-coordinating and acceptor solvents their isotropic EPR parameters are: g(iso)=2.047+/-0.003, (Cu)A(iso) = 7.2+/-0.1 mT and (P)A = 0.95+/-0.1 mT. An absorption band characterizes the vis spectra in these solvents with a maximum at 427 nm, due to a ligand-to-metal charge-transfer transition. One hour after dissolution the absorbance at 427 nm follows Beer's law with molar absorptivity (epsilon) about 11000, which does not change significantly after 24 h staying at room temperature or after 30 min heating at 50 degrees C. Both DMFA and DMSO exhibit specific solute-solvent interaction with the acceptor centre of copper complex yielding an axial adduct, with increased g-factor and decreased (hf)A compared to the initial complex. An additional EPR signal with unresolved hyperfine structure is also detected in DMSO. EPR and vis intensities of both bis(diaryl-dtp)Cu(II) complexes decrease after dissolution in both solvents. Moreover, they are EPR silent in pyridine and do not show any absorption in the vis spectra.
