Spectroscopic studies on copper(II) halide complexes with isomeric benzoylpyridines: Electronic and electron spin resonance spectral evidence for five-coordinate copper(II) species in solution

Coordination compounds formed by copper(II) chloride and bromide with 2-, 3- and 4-benzoylpyridines (BOP)Cu(2-BOP)Cl₂, Cu(3-BOP)₂Cl₂, Cu(4-BOP)Cl₂, Cu(2-BOP)₂Br₂, Cu(3-BOP)₂Br₂ and Cu(4-BOP)₂Br₂—have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moments, electronic, IR and ESR spectral studies. It is suggested that Cu(2-BOP)Cl₂ is monomeric tetrahedral, Cu(3-BOP)₂Cl₂ and Cu(4-BOP)Cl₂ are dimeric octahedral and tetrahedral structures, respectively, bridging through chlorines while all the bromo complexes are polymeric octahedral structures with bridging bromine atoms in the solid state. Powder ESR data reveal rhombic symmetry for all the chloro complexes. Cu(2-BOP)₂Br₂ is suggested to have an axial symmetry while the other bromo complexes are isotropic in nature. Electronic and ESR spectral studies in DMSO solution suggest the interaction of solvent molecules with copper(II) ions in the axial plane. The solution spectral data are almost comparable suggesting same local symmetry for all the compounds consistent with five-coordinate square pyramidal geometry in each case. ESR spectra also suggest considerable CuCu interactions in Cu(3-BOP)₂Cl₂. Various Spin—Hamiltonian parameters calculated from ESR data indicate the presence of an unpaired electron in the d_x²−y² orbital of the copper(II) ion in an axial symmetry.     

Cu(II) halide and primary amine complexes of guanine and xanthine

Guanine (Gua) and xanthine (Xan) complexes of copper halides of types Cu(Gua)Cl₂ Cu(Gua)Br₂, Cu(Xan)₂Cl₂·2H₂O and Cu(Xan)₂Br₂ were synthesized by the interaction of the ligand and respective metal halide in methanol. In addition, Cu(Guan)(CH₃NH₂)₂·2H₂O and Cu(Xan)(CH₃NH₂)₂·2H₂O were prepared by reacting CuSO₄·5H₂O with the respective purine in the indicated primary amine. IR spectra of the halide complexes suggest that their stereochemistry is distorted tetrahedal, in keeping with previously reported complexes of this type. The amine compounds exhibit significant carbonyl IR shifts, indicating hydrogen bonding is present between purine carbonyl and the primary amine. Room-temperature magnetic susceptibilities are normal for related Cu(II) complexes. Comparison of these compounds with known complexes suggests the possibility of N(7)–N(9) purine bridging between copper atoms leading to polymer formation.     

Synthesis,characterization and biocidal activities of some metal(II) complexes with diacetyl salicylaldehyde acyldihydrazones

Complexes of diacetyl salicylaldehyde oxalic acid dihydrazone, CH₃COC(CH₃)= NNHCOCONHN=CHC₆H₄(OH),(dsodh) and diacetyl salicylaldehyde malonic acid dihydrazone CH₃COC(CH₃)=NNHCOCH₂CONHN=CHC₆H₄(OH), (dsmdh) of general compositions [M(L)]Cl, [M′(L)Cl], [M(L′)]Cl and [M′(L′)Cl] (where M?=?Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and M′?=?Ni(II); HL?=?dsodh and HL′?=?dsmdh) were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moments, electronic, ESR and infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction data. The magnetic moments and electronic spectra indicate six-coordinate octahedral geometry for Co(II) and square planar geometry for Ni(II) complexes. The ESR spectral data of Cu(II) complexes in DMF solution reveal a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry. Both ligands bond through >C=O, >C=N and deprotonated phenolate groups in all octahedral complexes and through >C=N and deprotonated phenolate groups in Ni(II) square planar complexes. The lattice parameters for Cu(dsodh) and Co(dsmdh) correspond to an orthorhombic and Ni(dsodh) corresponds to a tetragonal crystal lattice.

The complexes show significant antifungal activity against a number of pathogenic fungi viz. Stemphylium, Myrothecium and Alternaria. The antibacterial activity was studied against Pseudomonas fluorescence (gram ?ve) and Clostridium thermocellum (gram +ve).     

Copper(II) complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine and its n-oxide

A series of Cu(II) complexes of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]-nonene-3-thiocarboxylic acid 2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazide(HL) and the corresponding N-oxide (HLO) have been prepared and characterized. Both ligands undergo deprotonation and appear to coordinate via the thione sulfur, the imine nitrogen and the pyridyl nitrogen (or N-oxide oxygen). A single anionic ligand such as Cl^?, Br^?, NCS^? and N^?₃ completes the bonding to the Cu(II) center of these 4-coordinate complexes. When the complexes are prepared using Cu(II) perchlorate, the solids isolated contain a neutral thiosemicarbazone ligand as well as the deprotonated ligand. The solids are primarily characterized by IR, electronic and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. In addition, electronic and ESR spectra of their chloroform solutions were recorded. Most of the solids (except the nitrates) were unaltered upon dissolution. Simulation of the solution ESR spectra was used to estimate the coupling constants of the various coordinated nuclei.     

Synthesis and physico-chemical studies of metal(II) complexes with diacetyl benzaldehyde acyldihydrazones and their bio-activity

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with diacetyl benzaldehyde oxalic acid dihydrazone (dbodh), CH₃COC(CH₃)=NNHCOCONHN=CHC₆H₅ and diacetyl benzaldehyde malonic acid dihydrazone (dbmdh), CH₃COC(CH₃)=NNHCOCH₂CONHN=CHC₆H₅ of general composition [M(dbodh)Cl]Cl and [M(dbmdh)Cl]Cl were synthesized and characterized by microanalyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, UV–Vis, ESR and IR spectra and X-ray diffraction studies. The complexes are 1 : 1 electrolytes in DMF and are insoluble in water and common organic solvents. The dbodh and dbmdh are neutral tridentate ligands in most complexes and coordinate via one >C=O and two >C=N–groups. In Cu(II) complexes the ligands are pentadentate coordinating through three >C=O and two >C=N–groups. The magnetic moment values and UV–Vis spectra suggest square-planar geometry for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes and distorted octahedron for both Cu(II) complexes. The ESR spectra of Cu(II) complexes show well-defined copper hyperfine lines in DMSO solution at 120 K and exhibit d _{x ² ?y ²} as the ground state. The X-ray diffraction parameters for [Ni(dbodh)Cl]Cl and [Co(dbmdh)Cl]Cl correspond to a tetragonal crystal lattice. The complexes show significant antifungal activity against Alternaria sp., Curvularia sp. and Colletotrichum sp. and fair antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescence.     

Synthesis,characterization and antiprotozoal studies of some metal complexes of antimalarial drugs

The IR and electronic spectra are consistent with the proposed geometry for the complexes. The Mn(II) and Pt(II) complexes are four coordinate while the Cu(II) and Co(II) have octahedral geometry. The complexes were tested for in vitro activity against cultures of Trypanosoma cruzi, L. donovani, T. b. rhodesiense and the resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum to determine their antiprotozoal activities and for their cytotoxicity with L-6 cells. The Pt(II) complex of chloroquine showed enhanced activity against the resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum.

Complexes of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Pd(II) with di-N-phenyl pyromellitic diimide (PhPMDI) and di-N-pyridyl pyromellitic diimide (PyPMDI) were prepared and characterized based on analytical, molar conductance, magnetic, IR, PMR, electronic and ESR data. Based on analytical and molar conductance, the complexes have been formulated as [M(PhPMDA)(H₂O)₂]_n (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni), [Cu(PhPMDA)]_n [Pd₂(PhPMDA)Cl₂(H₂O)₂], [M(PyPMDA)]_n (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) and [Pd₂(PyPMDA)Cl₂] In all these complexes PhPMDA acts as a mononegative bidentate ligand whereas PyPMDA acts as a mononegative tridentate one in the form of amide rather than imide. The geometries of the complexes have been proposed based on the electronic spectra. The various bonding parameters have been calculated from the ESR spectra of Cu(II) complexes.

The isolated compounds, almost completely insoluble in most organic solvents, were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ESR, reflectance spectra, and magnetic moment measurements. On the basis of these data the geometries around the metals are discussed.

A new series of macrocyclic metal complexes have been synthesized and characterized by the template condensation reaction of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene and dimedone in presence of divalent transition metals, resulting into the formation of the macrocyclic complexes of the type: [M(C₃₆H₃₆N₄)X₂]; where M = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and X = Cl^?, NO₃ ^?, CH₃COO^?. The synthesized macrocyclic complexes have been characterized with the aid of elemental analysis, conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, electronic, infrared, NMR, Mass and ESR spectral studies. The complexes were also investigated for their fluorescence activity. Electronic spectra along with magnetic moments suggest the six coordinated octahedral geometry for all these complexes. The low value of molar conductance indicates them to be non-electrolyte. The in vitro antimicrobial activities of these macrocyclic complexes have also been investigated against some bacterial strains and yeast. Further minimum inhibitory concentration shown by these complexes against these pathogens was compared with MIC shown by standard antibiotic and standard antifungal drug.

Neue Kupfer(I,II)-Verbindungen

New Copper(I, II) Compounds Complexes of the type [Cu^II(N∩N)₂][Cu^ICl_1+x]_2x (N∩N = en, pn, 2-amino picoline) are prepared from Cu(N∩N)₂Cl₂ and copper(I) chloride. [Cu^II(enac)][Cu^ICl₂]₂ — a complex with a macrocyclic cation — is obtained, by the reaction of Cuen₂Cl₂ in aqueous acetone. Diacetyl monoxime partially reduces copper(II) of Cu(NSMe)₂Cl₂ and in this way causes the formation of [Cu(NSMe)_2][CuCl₃] (NSMe = β-aminoethyl methylsulfide). On the other hand a template reaction of this oxime with Cu(NSMe)₂ (ClO₄)₂ produces Cu^II(ONNSMe)(ClO₄) (HONNSMe?CH₃C(NOH)C(NCH₂CH₂SCH₃)CH₃), which shows a reduced paramagnetism. Basing on magnetic behaviour, i. r. and vis spectra the structure of the new compounds is discussed.

Synthesis and characterization of two acetato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes with 4-bromo-2-((4 or 6-methylpyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol as ligand

The synthesis and characterization of two new acetato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes are described. Both compounds have the general formula [Cu(L)(µ-O₂C–CH₃)]₂, in which L = 4-bromo-2-((4-methylpyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol or 4-bromo-2-((6-methylpyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol. The title compounds consist of dinuclear units with bridging acetato groups and a ligand linked to each copper via the phenol oxygen and nitrogen. Both compounds were synthesized in a one-step reaction and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), electron spin resonance (ESR), and electronic spectra and by room temperature magnetic moments. The compounds exhibit antiferromagnetic interactions at room temperature. UV-Vis spectra show four absorptions attributed to d–d transitions of copper, ligand → metal charge transfer and π → π* or n → π* transitions of ligand. The FTIR spectra indicate a Cu₂O₄C₂ ring vibration. Both complexes show room temperature magnetic moments of about 1.6 B.M. per copper. The X-band ESR studies indicate a weak half-field band, characteristic of the Cu(II)–Cu(II) dimer, observed at 1552 and 1558 G for the complexes, strongly suggesting that the hyperfine structure arises from a spin triplet species. The spectra of frozen samples in DMSO or DMF at liquid nitrogen temperature show a typical Δm = 1 transition.

Ligand bridged polymeric complexes of the type [M(apainh)(H₂O)X] where, M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II); X=Cl₂ or SO₄; apainh=acetone p‐amino acetophenone isonicotinoyl hydrazone have been synthesized and characterized. The complexes are stable solids, insoluble in common organic solvents and are non‐electrolytes. Magnetic moments and electronic spectral studies suggest a spin‐free octahedral geometry for all Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes. IR spectra show tridentate nature of the ligand bonding through two >C?N and a >C?O groups. X‐ray powder diffraction parameters for some of the complexes correspond to orthorhombic and tetragonal crystal lattices. Thermal studies (TGA and DTA) of [Mn(apainh)(H₂O)SO₄] complex show multi‐step decomposition pattern of both an endothermic and exothermic nature. ESR data of Cu(II) chloride complex in solid state show an axial spectra, whereas, Cu(II) sulfate complex is isotropic in nature. The complexes show a significant antifungal activity against a number of pathogenic fungal species and antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas sp. and Clostridium sp. The metal complexes are more active than the ligand.     

Synthesis,physico-chemical investigations and biological studies on Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with p -amino acetophenone isonicotinoyl hydrazone

Complexes of the type [M(painh)(H₂O)₂X], where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II); X = Cl₂ or SO₄; painh = p-amino acetophenone isonicotinoyl hydrazone, have been synthesized and characterized by spectral and other physico-chemical techniques. The synthesized complexes are stable powders, insoluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and diethyl ether, and are non-electrolytes. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) studies show that the organic ligand decomposes exothermically through various steps. TGA and Infrared (IR) spectral studies indicate the presence of coordinated water in the metal complexes. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectra suggest that Mn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes are paramagnetic with octahedral geometry, whereas Cu(II) complexes have distorted octahedral geometry. The neutral bidentate ligand bonds through >C=O and >C=N–groups in all the complexes. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectra in the solid state show axial symmetry for [Cu(painh)(H₂O)₂(SO₄)] and elongated rhombic symmetry for [Cu(painh)(H₂O)₂Cl₂], suggesting an elongated tetragonally-distorted octahedral structure for both complexes. X-ray powder diffraction parameters for two complexes correspond to tetragonal and orthorhombic crystal lattices. The metal complexes show fair antifungal activity against Rizoctonia sp., Aspergillus sp., Stemphylium sp., and Penicillium sp. and appreciable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas sp. and Escherichia coli.
