Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetism of 1D cobalt(II) coordination polymer with thiocyanate as bridging ligand

A one-dimensional coordination polymer [Co(μ _1,3-NCS)₂(npdo)₂] _n (npdo?=?4-nitropyridine N-oxide) has been synthesized and structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group of Pbcn with a?=?22.688(5)?Å, b?=?7.2636(17)?Å, c?=?10.299(2)?Å. Adjacent Co(II) ions are coordinated by two μ _1,3-SCN^? bridging ligands, forming a one-dimensional chain along the c axis and the npdo coordinates to Co(II) ion as a terminal ligand. The thermal variation of the magnetic moments of the complex reflects the antiferromagnetic interaction between the bridged Co(II) ions above 20?K and the ferromagnetic transition or the strong short-range spin interaction below 20?K.

Compound 1 was characterized by means of elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and vibrational spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 1 reveals that each Zn(II) is coordinated by three nitrogen atoms from two different BPP ligands, two oxygen atoms from one Croconate Violet dianion and one aqua ligand, within a distorted octahedral geometry in a facial arrangement (ZnN₃O₃). One of the BPP ligands adopts a TG (trans–gauche) conformation bridging two zinc centers giving rise to a 1-D polymeric chain along the crystallographic a axis, and the other is coordinated to metal site in a monodentate fashion adopting a TT (trans–trans) conformation. Adjacent 1-D chains are extended into a 2-D coordination network of (4, 4) topology through cooperative hydrogen bonding involving N31, OW2 and OW1 atoms, in direction of the c axis. Two complementary 2-D sheets fit each other exhibiting an interdigitation phenomenon, giving rise to a bilayer supramolecular structure.

Three isoxazole Schiff bases 2-((E)-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-ylimino)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol (L¹), 2-((E)-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-ylimino)methyl)-4,6-diiodophenol (L²), 2-((E)-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-ylimino)methyl)-6-bromo-4-chlorophenol (L³), and their Cu(II) complexes [Cu(L¹)₂] (1), [Cu(L²)₂] (2) and [Cu(L³)₂] (3) were synthesized. All the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, ESI mass, UV-Visible, ESR, TGA, magnetic moments, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Based on analytical data, a square planar geometry is assigned to the Cu(II) complexes with N₂O₂ donors from the Schiff base ligands. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements of 1 and 2 confirmed the square planar geometry. DNA binding studies from electronic absorption titrations, viscosity measurements, and fluorescence quenching studies indicated an intercalation mode of binding of Cu(II) complexes with CT-DNA. DNA cleavage experiments of Cu(II) complexes with supercoiled plasmid pBR322 DNA have also been investigated by agarose gel electrophoresis in the presence of H₂O₂ (oxidative cleavage) and UV light (photolytic cleavage). The synthesized compounds were screened for antibacterial (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtillis and Staphylococcus aureus) and antifungal (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) activities by the paper disk method.

A Cu(II)–coumarin complex, [CuL₂(NO₃)₂] ( 2 ), where L = 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-8-tert-butylcoumarin ( 1 ), was synthesized with Cu(NO₃)₂⋅3H₂O and characterized using elemental, infrared and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The crystal structure of 1 shows that all the pyrone, benzene and pyridine rings are completely coplanar. The crystal structure of 2 is stabilized by intermolecular C–H···O and C–H···N hydrogen bonds and C···C short contacts, which lead to the formation of a two-dimensional network structure. Density functional theory results give support to the experimentally determined monomeric structure. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of 1 and 2 were investigated against HeLa (cervical carcinoma), A549 (lung), HepG2 (liver) and HUVEC (umbilical vein) cells by MTT assay. The IC₅₀ values show that both 1 and 2 have lower toxicity than doxorubicin and cisplatin in every case. Ligand 1 exhibits higher anti-HeLa activity than doxorubicin. Complex 2 displays higher anti-HeLa activity than coumarin but lower than that of cisplatin. Various spectroscopic approaches indicate that 1 and 2 could effectively bind with DNA through intercalation mode.

Furthermore, the compound improves cellular ROS in human liver cancer cells which in turn culminates in the death of cancer cells. The toxicity has been checked by MTT assay. The compound shows promising anticancer activity against HepG2 cell line and the LD₅₀ is 62 μg/ml. The compound can also be employed for promising material applications; after theoretical and experimental investigations it is observed that the band gap is in the range of semiconducting material.
