Transition metal(II) ions with dinegative tetradentate schiff base

Some new coordination polymers of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II), obtained from the interaction of metal acetate with dipotassium salt of N,N’-di(carboxyethylidene)terephthalaldehydediimine (K₂SB) are described. The products, which have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, thermogravimetric analyses, electronic and infrared spectral studies, have composition, [M(SB)(H₂O)₂]_n. These colored coordination polymers are non-hygroscopic and quite stable at room temperature. On the basis of analytical data and IR studies, a 1:1 metal to ligand stoichiometry has been suggested to these coordination polymers. The IR studies have also revealed that ligands are coordinated to metal ion through carboxy oxygen and azomethine nitrogen. All the studies suggested tetradentate nature of the ligand with octahedral symmetry of the coordination polymers. All the coordination polymers are insoluble in acetone, ethanol, chloroform, methanol, benzene, DMF and DMSO. The thermal decomposition of the coordination polymers is studied and indicates that not only the coordinated water is lost but also that the decomposition of the ligand from the coordination polymers is necessary to interpret the successive mass loss.     

Spectrophotometric determination of iron in aluminium metal and some non-ferrous alloys

A new, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method is suggested for the determination of traces of iron(III) based on complex formation with hematoxylin in presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Addition of CTAB shifted the absorption maximum of the iron-hematoxylin complex from 630 to 640 nm and increased its molar absorptivity from 9.88 × 10⁴ to 1.16 × 10⁵ 1·mol^–1·cm^–1. The method adhered to Beer's law up to 0.4 and 0.2 g/ml of iron in presence and absence of CTAB, respectively. The corresponding values of Sandell's sensitivity were 0.5 and 0.6 ng·cm^–2. The effect of reagent and surfactant concentrations, pH and standing time were investigated. EDTA, tartrate and sodium fluoride were used as masking agents for most of the interfering ions. The method was successfully used for the determination of iron in aluminium metal and some non-ferrous alloys.     

Metal chelates with some cellulose derivatives; part IV. Structural chemistry of HEC complexes

Reactions of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) with Cr ^III, Ni^II, Co^II, or Cu^II chlorides in aqueous medium yielded complexes with formulae [M(HEC)Cl _m .n H ₂O], wherem =1 or 2 and n=2 or 3. HEC acted as a uninegatively charged bidentate ligand in the case of Cr^III and Ni^II, and as a neutral ligand in the case of Co^II and Cu^II complexes. The spectra showed that the binding sites in Cr^III and Ni^II complexes were the ether oxygen between two ethoxyl groups and the oxygen of the hydroxyl group; while in the Co^II and Cu^II complexes the binding sites were the oxygen of ethoxyl groups and the primary alcoholic O atom of glucopyranose rings. These complexes would most likely exhibit octahedral geometry with Cr^III, Ni^II, and Co^II, but square planar configuration in the case of the Cu^II complex. The ligand parameters of the Cr^III, Ni^II, and Co^II metal chelates were calculated in different solvents and at different temperatures. The thermal stability of the above complexes was investigated and the overall thermodynamics functions G⁰, H⁰, and S⁰, associated with complex formation, were estimated.     

Novel Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes with some transition elements. Synthesis,spectroscopic, thermal analysis,antimicrobial and in vitro anticancer activity

A novel Schiff base ligand (H₂L) was prepared through condensation of 2,6‐diaminopyridine and o‐benzoylbenzoic acid in a 1:2 ratio. This Schiff base ligand was characterized using elemental and spectroscopic analyses. A new series of Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) metal complexes of H₂L were prepared and characterized using elemental analysis, spectroscopy (¹H NMR, mass, UV–visible, Fourier transform infrared, electron spin resonance), magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity, X‐ray powder diffraction and thermal analysis. The complexes are found to have trigonal bipyramidal geometry except Cr(III), Mn(II) and Fe(III) complexes which have octahedral geometry based on magnetic moment and solid reflectance measurements. The infrared spectral studies reveal that H₂L behaves as a neutral bidentate ligand and coordinates to the metal ions via the two azomethine nitrogens. ¹H NMR spectra confirm the non‐involvement of the carboxylic COOH proton in complex formation. The presence of water molecules in all reported complexes is supported by thermogravimetric studies. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were determined using Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger equations. The synthesized ligand and its complexes were screened for antimicrobial activities against two Gram‐positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), two Gram‐negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Neisseria gonorrhoeae) and one fungus (Candida albicans). Anticancer activities of the ligand and its metal complexes against human breast cancer cell line (MCF7) were investigated. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Spectrophotometric determination of some phenothiazine derivatives and opipramol with chloramine-T

This paper describes a spectrophotometric method for the assay of phenothiazines (and also opipramol, which is similar but contains a C=C linkage instead of the S atom of the phenothiazines) as the pure drug or in tablets or solutions for injection. The colour is produced by heating a solution of the drug or drug preparation with a solution of chloramine-T. The coloured product can be extracted into chloroform before the colour measurement or the whole process carried out in ethanol solution, the colour of which is then measured.

Summary New Cr(III), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) chelates of the Schiff base derived from isatin witho-phenylenediamine have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, electronic, IR and¹H NMR spectra, and also by aid of molar conductivity and magnetic moment measurements. It has been found that the Schiff base behaves as ONNO tetradentate dibasic ligand forming chelates with 1:1 (metal:ligand) stoichiometry. Square planar environment is suggested for nickel(II) chelate. All the metal chelates show non-electrolytic behaviour.

Aluminum and copper ions are selectively estimated spectrophotometrically. These ions form colored complexes with spadns which have a maximum absorbance at 580 nm. The complexes formed with both cations are stable and pH dependant; aluminum is favorably complexed at pH 5, while copper is complexed at pH 7.The percentage recoveries were found to be 99.69 ± 0.75 and 99.32 ± 0.6 with a minimum detection limit of 0.08 and 0.23 g ml^–1 for aluminum and copper ions respectively. There is insignificant interference from the 10-fold concentrations of other metal ions under the proposed reaction conditions.     

Study of the thermal decomposition of cellulose-hyphan and its complexes with some transition and indium metal ions

The studied complexes formed by the chelating ion exchanger were characterized by reflectance and infrared spectrometry. The thermal degradation of pure cellulose-hyphan (CH) and its complexes with Hg²⁺, In³⁺, Cr³⁺, Mo⁴⁺ and Mn²⁺ under an atmosphere of air has been studied using thermal gravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTG). The results showed that four different stages are accompanying the decomposition of (CH) and its complexes with the studied metals. These stages were found to be affected by the presence of the investigated metal ions. On the bases of the applicability of a non-isothermal kinetic equation it was found to be a first-order reaction with the rate of degradation,k, ranging from 8.3·10^?5 to 6.2·10^?3 for (CH) and from 1.7·10^?5 to 6.6·10^?3 s^?1 for its complexes. The activation energy,E _a, the entropy change, ΔS°, the enthalpy change, ΔH° and Gibbs free energy, ΔG° are calculated by applying the rate theory of the first-order reaction. The effect of the different central metal ions on the calculated thermodynamic parameters is discussed.

The interpretation of thermal decomposition stages had been evaluated. The computations had been done by software of Gaussian 09W package. The geometries of triazole-thiole ligand and its metal chelates were fully optimized using density functional theory B3LYP method. (DFT)/GENECP level by implementing Def2TZVP basis set was used for Fe, Co and Ni-atoms; and basis set 6-311++G (d, p) was used for remainder atoms. There are no symmetry constrains had been applied during geometry optimization. The mixed basis set was selected due to its flexibility. HOMO and LUMO energy values for chelates, chemical hardness and electronegativity had been calculated. NBO calculations had been done at the same level using (NBO 3.1) program involved in the software of Gaussian 09W for measurement qualitatively the intra-molecular delocalization in systems under investigation. The first 15, 85, 65 and 65 low-lying excited states for ligand and Fe, Co and Ni chelates respectively had been calculated within the vertical linear-response. TD-DFT approximation at the same level of theory was used to calculate the electronic absorption spectra of the studied compounds. Their structures are confirmed by successful correlation between experimental and theoretical calculations. The ligand and its metal chelates had been examined against two bacteria such as Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATTC 12600), GraM–Negative (Escherichia coli ATTC 11775) and two fungus (Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans) and molecular docking using Auto Dock tools were utilized.     

Gamma-ray irradiation and characterization of synthesized bidentate and tetradentate Schiff base ligands and their complexes with some transition metal ions

Salen ligands are essential for coordinating a diverse group of metals in their respective oxidation states. This creates significant complexes of salen metals that are used in different fields. Condensation of ehylenediamine (en) with p-methoxybenzaldehyde (L¹) or o-hydroxyacetophenone (L²) with a ratio 1: 2 (en: p-methoxybenzaldehyde or o-hydroxyacetophenone) or by the interaction of o-phenylenediamine (phen) with o-hydroxybenzaldehyde (L³) or p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (L⁴) with a ratio 1: 2 (phen: o-hydroxybenzaldehyde or p-hydroxybenzaldehyde) has been used to prepare four symmetrical Schiff bases (L¹-L⁴). The UV–vis spectroscopy has been used to investigate the diverse electronic transitions associated with the Schiff bases molecules as well as how these transitions are impacted by diverse polarities of solvents. Elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–vis spectra, molar conductivity, and ¹H NMR have been used to characterise all the compounds obtained in this process. The continuous variation applied alongside molar ratio spectral methods showed the formation of different complexes arising from the reaction of the ligand (L^1-L⁴) with the metal ions Mn(II), Fe(III) and Cu(II) is 1: 1 and/ or 1: 2 (M: L). A series of universal buffer solutions (20 % ethanol v/v) with varying pH values were used in spectrophotometry to determine the acid dissociation constants of the L² and L⁴ ligands. Gamma radiation was applied to examine the compounds’ irradiation stability. Additionally, the absorptions of the main functional groups were screened using FT-IR spectra before and after Gamma irradiation. The results show that all the compounds are stable after irradiation process; therefore, it could be used as enhancing agents in cancer therapy.

Complexation behavior of Schiff base toward transition metal ions

Complexes of Iron, Cobalt, Nickel and Zinc ions with the Schiff base derived from p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and o-aminobenzoic acid were synthesized and investigated by several techniques using elemental analyse (C,H,N), molar conductance measurements, infrared and electronic spectra. The elemental analysis data suggest the stoichiometry to be 1:1 [M:L] ratio formation. The molar conductance measurements reveal the presence of non-electrolytic nature complexes. Infrared spectral data agreed with the coordination to the central metal ions through both the nitrogen atom of the azomethine and oxygen atom of the carboxyl group of the 2-aminobenzoic acid moiety. The electronic spectral data suggest the existence of octahedral geometry for Fe(III) complex, square planar geometry for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes and tetrahedral geometry for Zn(II) complex.

Series of Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes were prepared with tetradentate Schiff base ligand derived by condensation of 2‐aminophenol with dibenzoylmethane. The novel Schiff base H₂L (2–2′‐((1Z,1Z’)‐(1,3‐diphenyl propane‐1,3 diylidene) bis (azanylylidene) diphenol) and its binary metal complexes were characterized by physicochemical procedures i.e. elemental analysis, FT‐IR, UV–Vis, thermal analyses (TGA/DTG), mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility and conductometric measurements. On the basis of these studies, an octahedral geometry for all these complexes was proposed expect Ni(II) complex which had tetrahedral geometry. Molar conductivity values revealed that the complexes were electrolytes except Mn(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes were non electrolytes. The ligand bound to the metal ions via two azomethine N and two phenolic OH as indicated from the IR and ¹H NMR spectral study. The molecular and electronic structures of H₂L and its zinc complex were optimized theoretically and the quantum chemical parameters were calculated. The antimicrobial activity against a number of bacterial organisms as Streptococcus pneumonia, Bacillus Subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli and fungi as Aspergillus fumigates, Syncephalastrum racemosum, Geotricum candidum and Candida albicans by disk diffusion method were screened for the Schiff base and its complexes. The Cd(II) complex has potent antimicrobial activity. Anticancer activity of the Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were evaluated in human cancer (MCF‐7 cells viability).

The final residues were identified by their X-ray powder diffraction patterns. X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the complexes including mixed metal complexes are almost superimposable with in each of the series indicating isomorphism. The metal cobaltites MCo₂O₄, where M = Mg, Mn, Ni, Zn or Cd were also prepared by decomposing the respective mixed metal complex in a pre-heated silica crucible at about 300 °C, and their identities were confirmed by chemical analyses, infrared spectra and X-ray powder diffraction.
