Diorganotin(IV) compounds derived from n‐methyl‐2,2′‐diphenolamine and 2,2′‐diphenolamine

The reaction of N‐methyl‐2,2′‐diphenolamine 1 and 2,2′‐diphenolamine 2 with some diorganotin(IV) oxides [R1/2SnO: R¹ = Me, n‐Bu, t‐Bu and Ph] led to the syntheses of diorgano[N‐methyl‐2,2′‐diphenolato‐O,O′,N]tin (IV) 3–6 and diorgano[2,2′‐diphenolato‐O,O′,N]tin (IV) 7–9 . All compounds (except 7 ) studied in this work were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, infrared, and mass spectroscopy. Their ¹¹⁹Sn NMR data show that the tin atom is tetracoordinated in CDCl₃ but penta and hexacoordinated in DMSO‐d₆. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 10: 133–139, 1999     

Structure of 2-methyl-3-(trichlorogermyl)propionic acid N,N-dimethylamide and the nature of the Ge←O coordination bond according to the ab initio calculation

Calculations of the molecule of 2-methyl-3-(trichlorogermyl)propionic acid N,N-dimethylamide with full and partial optimization of its geometry were performed by the RHF/6-31G(d) method. The total energy of this molecule which includes a pentacoordinated germanium atom (I) is by 3.84 kcal mol^?1 lower than if it contains a tetrakoordinated germanium (II). The mutual approach of Ge and O coordination centers as a result of their electrostatic interactions in the molecule (I) is shown to result in the formation of a Ge←O coordination bond, which provides an electron density transfer from the peripheral atoms of the donor fragment of the molecule to the atoms of the germanium coordination polyhedron. The Ge and O coordination centers of the molecule serve as conductors of the electron density. At the formation of Ge←O bond the electron density on the oxygen atom increases, while on germanium decreases.     

Formation and Structural Characterization of Metal Complexes derived from Thiosalicylic Acid

The formation and structural aspects of some metal complexes of thiosalicylic acid (TSA) were studied. The μ‐bridging tetra‐coordinated Ru complex, [Ru(C₆H₄(CO₂)(μ‐S)(H₂O)]₂ ( 1 ) was formed by hydrothermal reaction of TSA with RuCl₃. The complexes [M(dtdb)(phen)(H₂O)]_n ( 2 – 4 ) (M = Zn^II, Co^II, Ni^II, dtdb = 2,2′‐dithiodibenzoate anion, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) were obtained by the slow diffusion technique and the in situ S–S bond formation was confirmed by elemental, spectral and X‐ray analysis. Reaction of TSA with CuCl₂ and 2,2′‐bipyridine (bipy) under the slow diffusion technique yielded the dimer [Cu(tdb)(bipy)] ( 5 ) (tdb = thiodibenzoic acid), where the in situ generation of 2,2′‐thiodibenzoic acid was observed.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Hydrolysis of a Novel Anhydrogalactosucrose: 2′‐Methoxyl‐O‐1′,4′:3′,6′‐dianhydro‐β‐D‐fructofuranosyl 3,6‐anhydro‐4‐chloro‐4‐deoxy‐α‐D‐galactopyranoside

A novel anhydrogalactosucrose derivative 2′‐methoxyl‐O‐1′,4′:3′,6′‐dianhydro‐β‐D‐fructofuranosyl 3,6‐anhydro‐4‐chloro‐4‐deoxy‐α‐D‐galactopyranoside ( 4 ) was prepared from 3,6:1′,4′:3′,6′‐trianhydro‐4‐chloro‐4‐deoxy‐galactosucrose ( 3 ) via a facile method and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and 2D NMR spectra. The single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis shows that the title molecule forms a two thee‐dimensional network structure by two kinds of hydrogen bond interactions [O(2) H(2)···O(7), O(5) H(5)···O(8)]. Its stability was investigated by acid hydrolysis reaction treated with sulfuric acid, together with the formation of 1,6‐Di‐O‐methoxy‐4‐chloro‐4‐deoxy‐β‐D‐galactopyranose ( 5 ) and 2,2‐Di‐C‐methoxy‐1,4:3,6‐dianhydromannitol ( 6 ). According to the result, the relative stability of the ether bonds in the structure is in the order: C(1) O C(5)≈C(3′) O C(6′)≈C(1′) O C(4′)>C(3) O C(6)≈C(1) O C(2′)>C(2′) O C(5′).     

Syntheses and crystal structures of triorganotin (IV) derivatives with 2,2′‐bipyridine‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid

Four organotin complexes with 2,2′‐bipyridine‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid, H₂dcbp: (Ph₃n)₂(dcbp) 1 , [(PhCH₂)₃n]₂(dcbp) ⋅ 2CH₃OH 2 , [(Me₃Sn)₂(dcbp)]_n 3 , [(Bu₃Sn)₂(dcbp)]_n 4 have been synthesized. The complexes 1–4 were characterized by elemental, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹n NMR, and X‐ray crystallographic analyses. Crystal structures show that complex 1 is a monomer with one ligand coordinated to two triorganotin moieties, and a 1D infinite polymeric chain generates via intermolecular C H⋅⋅⋅N hydrogen bond; complex 2 is also a monomer and forms a 2D network by intermolecular O–H⋅⋅⋅O weak interaction; both of complexes 3 and 4 form 2D network structures where 2,2′‐bipyridine‐4,4′‐dicarboxylate acts as a tetradentate ligand coordinated to trimethyltin and tri‐n‐butyltin ions, respectively. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of Germanium Oligomer from Germanium Dioxide

Several crystalline germanium oligomers Ge_nO_2n+1· L₂·xH₂O (L = amino acid or amine) have been prepared and characterized by IR and NMR spectra, EA (elemental analysis), TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) and ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy). Oligomers of this type are based on chains of germanium-oxygen single and double bonds and synthesized in aqueous solution from germanium dioxide and basic ligands having an amino group. Two basic amino acids and mono-, and bidentate amines chosen as ligands to react with germanium dioxide gave L-lysine germanate (1a, 1b, 1c), L-arginine germanate (2a, 2b, 2c), Cyclohexylammonium hexagermanate (3), N-methylcyclohexylammonium hexagermanate (4), N,N-dimethylcyclohexylammonium hexagermanate (5), 2-aminoethylammonium trigermanate (6), 2-N′-methylammo)-N-methylethylammonium pentagermanate (7), 2-(N′N′-dimethylamino)-N′N-dimethylethylammonium heptagermanate (8).     

Synthesis,spectral investigation and biological interphase of drug‐based cytotoxic square pyramidal coordination compounds

We have synthesized ciprofloxacin‐based metal complexes of bipyridine derivatives [Cu(CFL)(Aⁿ)Cl].2H₂O (where CFL = ciprofloxacin and A = bipyridines e.g. A¹ = 4‐(4‐fluorophenyl)‐6‐p‐tolyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine, A⁶ = 4‐(4‐(benzyloxy)phenyl)‐6‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine, etc.). The ligands and complexes were characterized using analytical (C, H, N elemental analysis, TGA and magnetic measurement) and spectroscopic methods (¹H and ¹³C NMR, FT‐IR, fast atom bombardment mass and reflectance spectroscopy). The products were evaluated by screening for DNA interaction activity on herring sperm DNA and studies suggest intercalative mode of DNA binding. The antimicrobial activity was determined in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration. Superoxide dismutase mimic studies were performed using the NADH/PMS/NBT system. The brine shrimp bioassay was also carried out to study the in vitro cytotoxic properties of the synthesized metal complexes. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Spectral characterization and biocidal activity of organotin(IV) (E)-3-[(2′,6′-dichlorophenylamido)]propenoates

Biocidal and spectroscopic aspects of organotin(IV) complexes with (E)-3-[(2′,6′-dichlorophenylamido)]propenoic acid are described with support of elemental analysis. IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and mass spectral data suggest that the ligand is bidentate, coordinating through oxygen atoms and that diorganotin(IV) complexes are six-coordinate. Triorganotin(IV) carboxylates exist as pentacoordinated trigonal bipyramidal complexes in the solid state and tetrahedral ones in solution. The complexes have been screened against bacteria, fungi and brine-shrimp larvae to assess their biological activity.

The antitumour activity of one of them is comparable to those of cis‐platin and etoposide. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Spectroscopic,Thermal and Structural Studies of Aza‐aromatic Base Adducts of Cadmium Furoyltrifluoroacetonate

Three aza‐aromatic base adducts of cadmium(II) furoyltrifluoroacetonate, [Cd(4,4′‐bpy)(ftfa)₂]_n ( 1 ), [Cd(2,2′‐bpy)(ftfa)₂] ( 2 ) and [Cd(dmp)(ftfa)₂] ( 3 ) (“4,4′‐bpy”, “2,2′‐bpy”, “dmp” and “ftfa” are the abbreviations of 4,4′‐bipyridine, 2,2′‐bipyridine, 2,9‐dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline and furoyltrifluoroacetonate, respectively) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and studied by thermal as well as X‐ray crystallography. The single‐crystal structure of these complexes shows that the coordination number of the Cd^II ions are six with two N‐donor atoms from aza‐aromatic base ligands and four O‐donors from two the furoyltrifluoroacetonates. The supramolecular features in these complexes are guided/controlled by weak directional intermolecular interactions.     

Influence of methyl group position in bipyridine ligand on structure and luminescence of related zinc(II) nitrate complexes

Three new zinc(II) complexes of [Zn(6-mbipy)(η²-NO₃)₂] (1), [Zn(6,6′-dmbipy)(η²-NO₃)₂] (2) and [Zn(5,5′-dmbipy)(η²–NO₃)(H₂O)₂](NO₃).H₂O (3) were prepared from the reaction of 6-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine (6-mbipy), 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (6,6′-dmbipy) and 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (5,5′-dmbipy) with Zn(NO₃)₂·4H₂O in methanol, respectively. These three complexes were thoroughly characterized by elemental analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, infrared, UV–Vis, ¹H NMR and ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopy, and their structures have all been determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The luminescence spectra of the title complexes show that the intensity of their emission bands is stronger than the bands for the free ligands.     

Stereoelectronic structure of 3-(trichlorogermyl)propionic acid by the results of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ab initio</Emphasis> calculations

Two structures of the 3-(trichlorogermyl)propionic acid molecule and its dimer were calculated by the RHF/6-31G(d) method with the full geometry optimization. The structure with pentacoordinated germanium atom is by 4.71 kcal mol^?1 more favorable than that with tetracoordinated germanium. The strength of coordination bond in the first structure increases with the absolute values of charge on the Ge and O coordination centers. The relatively small values of these charges result in a weak coordination bond. In the first structure, this bond is weaker than in the dimer, since the Ge…O distance in it (3.016 Å) is larger than in the latter (2.898 Å). This bond is formed due to the rapproachment of the Ge and O coordination centers at their electrostatic interaction. This provides the transfer of electron density from the atoms of the donor fragment of the molecule to the atoms of the germanium coordination polyhedron. The coordination centers serve as the conductors for the electron density transfer.     

Ligand Substitution Reactions on Aquapentachloro‐ and Hexachloroplatinic Acid — Synthesis and Characterization of Tetrachloroplatinum(IV) Complexes with Heterocyclic N,N Donors

Reactions of aquapentachloroplatinic acid, (H₃O)[PtCl₅(H₂O)]·2(18C6)·6H₂O ( 1 ) (18C6 = 18‐crown‐6), and H₂[PtCl₆]·6H₂O ( 2 ) with heterocyclic N, N donors (2, 2′‐bipyridine, bpy; 4, 4′‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2, 2′‐bipyridine, tBu₂bpy; 1, 10‐phenanthroline, phen; 4, 7‐diphenyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline, Ph₂phen; 2, 2′‐bipyrimidine, bpym) afforded with ligand substitution platinum(IV) complexes [PtCl₄(N∩N)] (N∩N = bpy, 3a ; tBu₂bpy, 3b ; Ph₂phen, 5 ; bpym, 7 ) and/or with protonation of N, N donor yielding (R₂phenH)₂[PtCl₆] (R = H, 4a ; Ph, 4b ) and (bpymH)⁺ ( 8 ). With UV irradiation Ph₂phen and bpym reacted with reduction yielding platinum(II) complexes [PtCl₂(N∩N)] (N∩N = Ph₂phen, 6 ; bpym, 9 ). Identities of all complexes were established by microanalysis as well as by NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹⁵Pt) and IR spectroscopic investigations. Molecular structures of [PtCl₄(bpym)]·MeOH ( 7 ) and [PtCl₂(Ph₂phen)] ( 6 ) were determined by X‐ray diffraction analyses. Differences in reactivity of bpy/bpym and phen ligands are discussed in terms of calculated structures of complexes [PtCl₅(N∩N)]^— with monodentately bound N, N ligands (N∩N = bpy, 10a ; phen, 10b ; bpym, 10c ).     

Synthesis and Characterization of Monomeric Aryloxo Palladium Complexes of the Type [Pd(N–N)(OAr)(C6F5)]. Crystal Structure of [Pd(tmeda)(C6F5)(OC6H4NO2‐p)]

Two substituted 2,2′-bipyridine lead(II) complexes, [Pb(5,5′-dm-2,2′-bpy)(tfac)₂] _n (1) (5,5′-dm-2,2′-bpy?=?5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine and tfac?=?trifluoroacetate) and [Pb₂(4,4′-dmo-2,2′-bpy)₂(ftfa)₄] (2) (4,4′-dmo-2,2′-bpy?=?4,4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bipyridine and ftfa?=?furoyltrifluoroacetonate), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies, thermal behavior, and X-ray crystallography. Complexes 1 and 2 are 1D coordination polymer and dinuclear complex, respectively. The supramolecular features in these complexes are guided by weak directional intermolecular interactions.     

Complexes of 2,2′,2″-Nirtilotriphenol. Part IV. Cage Compounds with Phosphorus(III) and Phosphorus(V)

The ligand 2,2′,2″-nitrilotriphenol reacts with P(III) and P(V) compounds to form corresponding phosphorus complexes. Syntheses and NMR data of 2,2′,2″-nitrilotriphenyl phosphite ( II ), 2,2′,2″-nitrilotriphenyl phosphate ( III ) and of a hydrolysis product of II , 2,2′-[N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)imino]diphenly phosphonate ( IV ), are reported, as well as crystal structures of II and IV . Phosphite II shows a bicycloundecane framework; no N?Pinteraction is present. The phosphonate IV shows two coordinated and one dangling phenol group; the N-atom does not interact with the P-atom. Strong acids protonate II as well as III to form cations: in these, NMR evidence indicates coordination of the N-atom to the P-atom.     

Fluorine-substituted β-diketonate PbII complexes, [Pb(phen)(TFPB)2] and [Pb(2,2′-bipy)(TFPB)2]

Lead(II) 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butandionate (TFPB^?) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2′-bipyridine (2,2′-bipy), [Pb(L)(TFPB)₂], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR-, ¹H NMR spectroscopy and studied by X-ray crystallography. The self-assembly of [Pb(L)(TFPB)₂] complexes, (L?=?phen or 2,2′-bipy) is caused by C–H?···?F–C, C–H?···?O–C and π–π stacking interactions. The thermal stabilities of compounds were studied by thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analyses (DTA).     

Platinum(II) Mixed Ligand Complexes with Thiourea Derivatives,Dimethyl Sulphoxide and Chloride: Syntheses,Molecular Structures,and ESCA Data

The platinum(II) mixed ligand complexes [PtCl(L^1‐6)(dmso)] with six differently substituted thiourea derivatives HL, R₂NC(S)NHC(O)R′ (R = Et, R′ = p‐O₂N‐Ph: HL¹; R = Ph, R′ = p‐O₂N‐Ph: HL²; R = R′ = Ph: HL³; R = Et, R′ = o‐Cl‐Ph: HL⁴; R₂N = EtOC(O)N(CH₂CH₂)₂N, R′ = Ph: HL⁵) and Et₂NC(S)N=CNH‐1‐Naph (HL⁶), as well as the bis(benzoylthioureato‐κO, κS)‐platinum(II) complexes [Pt(L^{1, 2})₂] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, FAB(+)‐MS, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, as well as X‐ray structure analysis ([PtCl(L¹)(dmso)] and [PtCl(L^{3, 4})(dmso)]) and ESCA ([PtCl(L^{1, 2})(dmso)] and [Pt(L^{1, 2})₂]). The mixed ligand complexes [PtCl(L)(dmso)] have a nearly square‐planar coordination at the platinum atoms. After deprotonation, the thiourea derivatives coordinate bidentately via O and S, DMSO bonds monodentately to the Pt^II atom via S atom in a cis arrangement with respect to the thiocarbonyl sulphur atom. The Pt—S‐bonds to the DMSO are significant shorter than those to the thiocarbonyl‐S atom. In comparison with the unsubstituted case, electron withdrawing substituents at the phenyl group of the benzoyl moiety of the thioureate (p‐NO₂, o‐Cl) cause a significant elongation of the Pt—S(dmso)‐bond trans arranged to the benzoyl‐O—Pt‐bond. The ESCA data confirm the found coordination and bonding conditions. The Pt 4f_7/2 electron binding energies of the complexes [PtCl(L^{1, 2})(dmso)] are higher than those of the bis(benzoylthioureato)‐complexes [Pt(L^{1, 2})₂]. This may indicate a withdrawal of electron density from platinum(II) caused by the DMSO ligands.     

Effect of Metal Ions on the Structures of Coordination Polymers Based on Biphenyl‐2,2′,4,4′‐Tetracarboxylate

Two new coordination polymers, {[Cd₂(btc)(2,2′‐bpy)₂] · H₂O}_n ( 1 ) and [Zn₂(btc)(2,2′‐bpy)(H₂O)]_n ( 2 ) (H₄btc = biphenyl‐2,2′,4,4′‐tetracarboxylic acid, 2,2′‐bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine), were synthesized hydrothermally under similar conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, TGA, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. In complexes 1 and 2 , the (btc)^4– ligand acts as connectors to link metal ions to give a 2D bilayer network of 1 and a 3D metal‐organic framework of 2 , respectively. The differences in the structures are induced by diverging coordination modes of the (btc)^4– ligand, which can be attributed to the difference metal ions in sizes. The results indicate that metal ions have significant effects on the formation and structures of the final complexes. Additionally, the fluorescent properties of the two complexes were also studied in the solid state at room temperature.     

Synthesis of Functionalized Heteroleptic Germylene Alkoxides

N-coordinated Ge(II) alkoxides L¹(tBuO)Ge ( 1 ), L²(tBuO)Ge ( 2 ) and [L²(OtBu)Ge ⋅ BH₃] ( 4 ) were prepared. Effect of either chelating ligands L¹ and L² or Ge→B interaction on strength of the Ge−OtBu bond was studied by insertion reaction of PhNCO. As a result, the Ge(II) carbamate L²{[(tBuO)OC](Ph)N}Ge ( 3 ) was isolated. Alcoholysis exchange reactions of 1 and 2 with substituted phenols were studied to find an easy synthetic protocol for a synthesis of functionalized Ge(II) alkoxides. Reactions yielded Ge(II) alkoxides L^1,2(2-Br−C₆H₄O)Ge ( 5 for L¹, 8 for L²), L^1,2(2-MeNH−C₆H₄O)Ge ( 6 for L¹, 9 for L²), L^1,2(2-Ph₂P−C₆H₄O)Ge ( 7 for L¹, 10 for L²), L²(2-Br-3-OH−C₆H₃O)Ge ( 11 ) and L²(2-NC₅H₄O)Ge ( 12 ) containing the additional polar groups Y (Y=Br, MeNH, PPh₂, OH or N). Finally, phosphane decorated Ge(II) alkoxides 7 and 10 were tested as suitable ligands in reactions with (COD)W(CO)₄ and BH₃. As a consequence, new complexes [(κ²- 7 )W(CO)₄] ( 13 ) and [L¹(2-Ph₂P ⋅ {BH₃}-C₆H₄O)Ge ⋅ {BH₃}] ( 14 ) were isolated. All compounds were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, and compounds 3 , 4 , 9 and 11 were additionally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.
