A new ternary Cu (II) complex with 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and NOO-type tridentate Schiff base ligand: Synthesis,crystal structure,biomacromolecular interactions,and radical scavenging activities

NOO-type tridentate Schiff base, N-salicylidene-2-aminobenzoic acid, (H₂L), and its ternary Cu (II) complex containing H₂L Schiff base and 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-dmphen), [Cu(4,7-dmphen)(H₂L)]₂7H₂O, have been synthesized and characterized by CHN analysis, ESI-MS, FTIR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The interaction of alone H₂L Schiff base ligand and ternary Cu (II) complex with biomacramolecules {calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA)} has been investigated by electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that H₂L Schiff base ligand and ternary Cu (II) complex bind to CT-DNA by means of a moderate intercalation mode. Furthermore, the fluorescence quenching mechanism between H₂L Schiff base ligand and ternary Cu (II) complex with BSA possesses a static quenching process. Radical scavenging activity of H₂L Schiff base ligand and ternary Cu (II) complex was measured in terms of EC₅₀, using the DPPH and H₂O₂ methods. Biomacromolecule interactions and scavenging activity studies revealed that ternary Cu (II) complex yielded better results than H₂L Schiff base ligand alone.

Structural and magnetic properties of a syn-anti carboxylate bridged one-dimensional copper(II) complex with ferromagnetic exchange interaction

The compound [Cu(phen)(O₂CCF₃)₂]_n (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined. It crystallizes in monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 19.229(7), b = 11.281(5), c = 7.621(2) Å, = 104.305(12)°, and Z = 4. The crystal structure is polymeric, being built from infinite zigzag chains of trifluoroacetate bridged copper(II), with the phenanthroline ligands being stacked between the chains. The variable-temperature (13–300 K) magnetic susceptibility and ESR data are reported and a weak ferromagnetic exchange interaction is observed with the exchange parameter estimated as J = 2.9 cm^–1.     

Assay of cisapride in pharmaceutical formulations by visible spectrophotometry

Three spectrophotometric methods (A-C) for the assay of cisapride (CPD) in pure and dosage forms are described. Method A is based on the oxidative coupling reaction of CPD with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride (MBTH) in the presence of ferric chloride to form a coloured species (_max; 565 nm.) Method B is based on the oxidation of CPD with Fe (III) and subsequent chelation of Fe(II) to form a coloured complex with 1,10-phenanthroline (_max: 520 nm). Method C is based on the formation of a coloured charge-transfer complex between CPD and chloranilic acid (_max; 555 nm). Regression analysis of Beer-Lambert plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges 2.0–32.0, 0.4–6.4 and 25.0–450.0 g/ml for methods A,B and C, respectively. The validity of the proposed methods was tested by analysing pharmaceutical dosage forms containing CPD and the relative standard deviations were within 1.0%     

Synthesis, crystal structures, and properties of two manganese(II)-nitroprusside complexes

Two new manganese(II)-1,10-phenanthroline-nitroprusside complexes, [Mn(phen)₃][Fe (CN)₅(NO)]⋯2H₂O⋯0.25CH₃OH (1) and [Mn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂][Fe(CN)₅(NO)]⋯H₂O (2) (where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, electronic paramagnetic resonance (E.P.R.) and IR analyses. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, with lattice parameters a = 10.0441(15) Å, b = 19.668(2) Å, c = 19.938(3) Å,  β =100.427(14)°, V = 3873.7(10) ų, Z = 4; complex (2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 17.120(2) Å, b = 13.7925(19) Å, c = 14.4362(17) Å, β = 107.962(12)°, V = 3242.6(7) ų, Z = 4. In the two compounds, three phen ligands 1, or two phen ligands and two cis-related aqua molecules 2, are in a distorted octahedral arrangement around the Mn(II) ion. The nitroprusside anion, [Fe(CN)₅(NO)]²⁻, acts as a counterion. It is intriguing that in complex 2 no cyano bridges are present with two water molecules coordinated to the Mn(II) ion considering that usually the cyano nitrogen atoms are strong donors and could readily replace the coordinating solvent water molecules. Abundant hydrogen bond interactions and π–π stacking between the phen rings in two complexes lead to three-dimensional supramolecular networks.     

Development of algorithms for automated spectrophotometric titrations

A versatile method for evaluation of equilibrium constants from automated spectrophotometric titrations is described. General algorithms were derived for normalized titration curves of reactions having various stoichiometric ratios. Normalization of data involve converting it from absorption versus time to product formed (0 to 1) versus equivalents of titrant added. Relevance of derived algorithms was assessed by the quality of their fit to real data. The demonstration system chosen for this investigation was the 1:3 complexation reaction of Fe(II) and 1,10-phenantroline (o-Phen). Titrations were performed at three distinct infusion rates under controlled pH of 5.0 and at 25.0 °C, with sets produced using both Fe(II) and o-Phen as the titrant. Direct fitting of titration curves yielded values for overall equilibrium constants. Furthermore, resulting curves revealed reproducible initial deviation, consistent with step-wise reaction, when titrating Fe(II) with o-Phen. No unusual deviations were evident anywhere in the titration curves when Fe(II) was the titrant. Overall, our approach facilitates adoption of automated titrimetry and data analysis methodologies for the determination of stoichiometries and equilibrium constants of many UV/Vis active reactions.     

Transformation of 2-alkoxyimidate-1,10-phenanthroline metal (Mn, Co and Ni) chlorides from bis(2-cyano-1,10-phenanthroline) metal chlorides: Syntheses, characterizations and their catalytic behavior toward ethylene oligomerization

The 2-alkoxyimidate-1,10-phenanthroline complexes of manganese, cobalt and nickel have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-cyano-1,10-phenanthroline with metal dichloride in the corresponding alcohol. The metal complexes bearing two 2-cyano-1,10-phenanthrolines were isolated in non-protonic solvent as the coordination around metal core with two ligands and two chlorides. The alkoxyimidation of nitrile linked on ligand was speeded in forming the 2-alkoxyimidate-1,10-phenanthrolinyl metal complexes. All the complexes have been characterized by FT-IR spectra and elemental analysis, and some of their structures have also been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All the metal complexes were evaluated in the catalytic oligomerization of ethylene with some alkylaluminums as co-catalyst; in which manganese complexes were less active, cobalt complexes showed low to moderate activities, and nickel complexes gave moderate to good activities.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, and optical properties of a novel rare-earth complex Nd(C2F5COO)3 · Phen

A novel neodymium pentafluoropropionate binuclear complex, Nd(C₂F₅COO)₃ · Phen (Phen: 1,10-phenanthroline), was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra, UV–Vis–NIR absorption, and PL spectra. Single-crystal data show that the complex bears centrosymmetric dinuclear structure with a planar ligand configuration. Four carboxylato groups act as η²-chelate-μ²-carboxylato-k¹O:k¹O′-bridge-ligands, the other two occupy the terminal position as monodentate ligands. At the same time, the C–O distances appear averaged which indicate the three atoms of carboxylato forming electron-conjugate system. Hydrogen bond and π–π-stacking link the binuclear to two-dimensional sheet. Optical spectra exhibit the complex possesses typical Nd(III) ion absorption and photoluminescence emission.     

Reactions of platinum complexes with 4,7-phenanthroline: crystal structures of mono- and binuclear platinum(II) complexes containing 4,7-phenanthroline

The reaction of a mixture of cis and trans-[PtCl₂(SMe₂)₂] with 4,7-phen (4,7-phen = 4,7-phenanthroline) in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 or 2 : 1 resulted in the formation of mono and binuclear complexes trans-[PtCl₂(SMe₂)(4,7-phen)] (1) and trans-[Pt₂Cl₄(SMe₂)₂(μ-4,7-phen)] (2), respectively. The products have been fully characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H, ¹³C{¹H}, HHCOSY, HSQC, HMBC, and DEPT-135 NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 1 reveals that platinum has a slightly distorted square planar geometry. Both chlorides are trans with a deviation from linearity 177.66(3)°, while the N–Pt–S angle is 175.53(6)°. Similarly, the reaction of a mixture of cis and trans-[PtBr₂(SMe₂)₂] with 4,7-phen in a 1 : 1 or 2 : 1 mole ratio afforded the mono or binuclear complexes trans-[PtBr₂(SMe₂)(4,7-phen)] (3) and trans-[Pt₂Br₄(SMe₂)₂(μ-4,7-phen)] (4), respectively. The crystal structure of trans-[Pt₂Br₄(SMe₂)₂(μ-4,7-phen)].C₆H₆ reveals that 4,7-phen bridges between two platinum centers in a slightly distorted square planar arrangement of the platinum. In this structure, both bromides are trans, while the PtBr₂(SMe₂) moieties are syn to each other. NMR data of mono and binuclear complexes of platinum 1–4 show that the binuclear complexes exist in solution as a minor product, while the mononuclear complexes are major products.     

Affinity of a new copper(II) complex to DNA/BSA and antioxidant/radical scavenging activities: crystal structure of [Cu(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(leucine)(NO3)(H2O)]

A new copper(II) complex, [Cu(Bphen)(Leu)(NO₃)(H₂O)] (Bphen = 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, leu = L-leucine), has been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, CHN analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The CT-DNA binding properties of the complex have been investigated by both absorption and emission spectroscopy. The binding parameters for the fluorescence Scatchard plot were also determined. Further, the interaction of the complex with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated using absorption and emission spectroscopy. The thermodynamic parameters, free energy change (ΔG), enthalpy change (ΔH), and entropy change (ΔS), were calculated by the van’t Hoff equation and discussed. The distance between BSA and the complex has been obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Conformational changes of BSA have been observed from synchronous fluorescence. Antioxidant and radical scavenging activities of the complex were determined by various in vitro assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radicals (DPPH˙), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals (ABTS˙⁺), and reducing ability determination by H₂O₂ scavenging methods.
