Synthesis, characterization and antifungal activity of copper (II) complexes of sterically hindered o-diphenol derivatives

Cu (II) complexes with 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-benzenediol (I), 4,6-di(tert-butyl)-1,2,3-benzentriol (II) and sulfur-containing sterically hindered o-diphenol derivatives such as 4,6-di(tert-butyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-1,2-benzenediol (III) and 2-[4,6-di(tert-butyl)-2,3-dihydroxyphenylsulfanyl]acetic acid (IV) have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, TG/DTA, FT-IR, ESR, XPS, XPD and conductivity measurements. Antifungal activities of these ligands and their respective Cu (II) complexes have been determined against Aspergillus niger, Fusarium sp., Penicillium lividum, Mucor sp. and Botrytis cinerea. Most of the compounds (both the free ligands and the complexes) exert pronounced antifungal activities (RI  70%), and virtually all of them (apart from the Cu(L^II)₂ complex) have the highest inhibitory properties (RI = 100%) against B. cinerea.     

The standard enthalpies of formation of crystalline N-(carboxymethyl)aspartic acid and its aqueous solutions

The energy of combustion of N-(carboxymethyl)aspartic acid (CMAA) was determined by bomb calorimetry in oxygen. The standard enthalpies of combustion and formation of crystalline N-(carboxymethyl)aspartic acid were calculated. The heat effects of solution of crystalline CMAA in water and a solution of sodium hydroxide were measured at 298.15 K by direct calorimetry. The standard enthalpies of formation of CMAA and its dissociation products in aqueous solution were determined.     

Copper (II) complexes of sterically hindered o-diphenol derivatives: synthesis, characterization and microbiological studies

Cu (II) complexes with the sterically hindered diphenol derivatives 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-benzenediol (I), 4,6-di(tert-butyl)-1,2,3-benzenetriol (II) and the sulfur-containing 4,6-di(tert-butyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-1,2-benzenediol (III) and 2-[4,6-di(tert-butyl)-2,3-dihydroxyphenylsulfanyl]acetic acid (IV) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, TG/DTA, FT-IR, ESR, XPS, XPD and conductivity measurements. Compounds I–III can coordinate in their singly deprotonated forms and act as bidentate ligands. These compounds yield Cu (II) complexes of the stoichiometry Cu(L)₂, which have square planar geometry (g_| > g_⊥ > g_e). Unlike them, compound IV behaves as a terdentate ligand, and its complex Cu(L^IV)₂ has distorted octahedral geometry. According to ESR data, only the Cu(L^II)₂ complex contains a very small amount of phenoxyl radicals. Antimicrobial activities of these ligands and their respective Cu (II) complexes have been determined with respect to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as on yeasts. Their phytotoxic properties against Chlorella vulgaris 157 were also examined.

Synthesis of dichloro derivatives of linear and cyclic permethyloligosilanes and cyclolinear permethylpolysilane-siloxanes and permethylpolyoxysilane based on them

The reactions of dodecamethylcyclohexasilane with chlorides of I, II, IV—VI, and VIII Group metals were studied as a promising approach to the synthesis of functional oligosilanes. When cyclohexasilane reacts with metal chlorides without a solvent at elevated temperatures, the process is intensified and, in some cases, the selectivity of formation of chloro derivatives of linear and cyclic permethyloligosilanes increases. The cyclolinear permethylpolysilane-siloxanes were prepared by heterofunctional polycondensation of the resulting oligosilanes with bifunctional cyclic and linear permethyloligosiloxanes. Cyclolinear permethylpolyoxysilane was synthesized for the first time by the reaction of 1,3-dihydroxycyclohexasilane with 1,3-dichlorohexamethyltrisilane.     

Photometric Determination of Zirconium with Semimethylthymol Blue

The complexation of zirconium(IV) with Semimethylthymol Blue (H₄L) was studied by spectrophotometry. The formation of the (ZrOH)₂(H₂L)²⁺ ₂ complex with log = 20.68 ± 0.12 and ₅₆₅ = (7.26 ± 0.02) × 10⁴ was revealed by the isomolar series and molar ratio methods. A simple, reliable, and sensitive method was developed for the photometric determination of zirconium. The calibration plot is linear in the concentration range of 10^–6–10^–5 M zirconium. In a sample of frit 24–70 containing 5.7% ZrO₂, 5.44 ± 0.15% ZrO₂ was found.     

The thermodynamic characteristics of complex formation between Cd<Superscript>2+</Superscript> and iminodisuccinic acid in aqueous solution

The enthalpies of complex formation between iminodisuccinic acid (H₄L) and the Cd²⁺ ion were determined calorimetrically at 298.15 K and ionic strengths 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 (KNO₃). The thermodynamic characteristics of formation of CdL²⁻ and CdHL⁻ complexes at fixed and zero ionic strength values were calculated.

Calorimetric enthalpies of complexation of L-aspartic acid (H₂Asp) with Cd²⁺ ion at 298.15 K and ionic strengths of 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 (KNO₃) were determined. The thermodynamic parameters of complex formation reactions (for CdAsp and CdAsp ₂ ^2? complexes) at zero and nonzero ionic strength were calculated.
