Synthesis, structure, DNA-binding properties and antioxidant activity of silver(I) complexes containing V-shaped bis-benzimidazole ligands

A V-shaped ligand bis(2-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)benzylamine L(1) with its two derivatives bis(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)benzylamine L(2) and bis(N-benzylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)benzylamine L(3) have been prepared. Reaction of these shape-specific designed ligands with Ag(pic) (pic = picrate) afforded three novel complexes, namely, [Ag(2)L(1)(2)](pic)(2)1, [Ag(2)L(2)(2)](pic)(2)·2DMF 2 and [AgL(3)(pic)] 3. The ligands and complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 is a dinuclear metallacycle with a 2-fold rotational symmetry in which two syn-conformational L(1) ligands are connected by two linearly coordinated Ag(I) atoms. Due to the strong interaction between two adjacent Ag(I) atoms, the coordination mode of the central Ag(I) atom can be described as T-shaped. Complex 2 consists of a centrosymmetric dinuclear pore canal structure assembled from two nearly linearly coordinated Ag(I) atoms and two L(2) ligands. The structure of complex 3 adopts a four-coordinate environment for AgN(2)O(2), with the counterion participating in an eight-shaped geometry. In order to explore the relationship between the structure and biological properties, the DNA-binding properties have been investigated by viscosity measurements, electronic absorption, and fluorescence. The results suggest that the ligands and complexes bind to DNA in an intercalation mode, and their binding affinities for DNA are also different. Moreover, the three Ag(I) complexes also exhibited potential antioxidant properties in vitro studies.

Formation of mono-, bi-, tri-, and tetranuclear Ag(I) complexes of C3-symmetric tripodal benzimidazole ligands

The C3-symmetric tripodal ligand tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (ntb) and its alkyl-substituted derivatives tris(N-R-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine (R = methyl, Mentb; R = ethyl, Etntb; R = propyl, Prntb) react with various silver(I) salts to afford mononuclear [Ag(Prntb)(CF3SO3)].0.25H2O, 1, binuclear [Ag2(Mentb)2](CF3SO3)2.H2O, 2, trinuclear [Ag3(Etntb)2](ClO4)3.CH3OH, 3, and tetranuclear [Ag4(ntb)2(CH3CN)2(CF3CO2)2](CF3CO2)2.2H2O, 4. All four complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The Ag(I) ion in 1 is coordinated to the three imine nitrogen atoms of the Prntb ligand and one oxygen atom of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion in a distorted tetrahedral environment. Dinuclear 2 has C2 symmetry with each Ag(I) atom trigonally coordinated by two arms of one Mentb and one arm of another. Trinuclear 3 has C3 symmetry with a Ag3 regular triangle sandwiched between a pair of Etntb ligands such that one arm of each ligand is involved in linear coordination about an Ag(I) atom. In the tetranuclear complex 4, two linearly coordinated Ag(I) atoms lying on the molecular C2 axis are bridged by a pair of ntb ligands and the remaining pendant arm of each ntb ligand is attached to another Ag(I) atom whose tetrahedral coordination sphere is completed by an acetonitrile molecule and a chelating trifluoroacetate anion. Complexes 2 and 3 may be regarded as an aggregation of two tridentate ligands by a silver dimer and a trinuclear cluster with weak Ag...Ag interactions, respectively, while in 4 the aggregation of two tripodal ligands by four Ag(I) ions affords a multicomponent internal cavity. The packing modes of complexes 1-3 are dominated by weak supramolecular pi...pi and CH...pi interactions. Hexagonal or square channels are generated in 1 and 2, and a honeycomb layer structure is formed in 3 with solvate molecules and counteranions occupying the voids. The crystal structure of 4 consists of a three-dimensional network consolidated by NH...O and OH...O hydrogen bonds.     

Self-assembly, reorganization, and photophysical properties of silver(I)-Schiff-base molecular rectangle and polymeric array species

A self-assembly of AgClO(4) with a Schiff-base ligand N,N'-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)benzene-1,4-diamine (1) gave a 1D zigzag polymeric array [[Ag(2)(C(18)H(14)N(4))(2)](ClO(4))(2)(CH(3)CN)](n) (3), while the self-assembly of AgClO(4) with 3,3'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (2) afforded the molecular rectangle [[Ag(2)(C(26)H(22)N(4))(2)](ClO(4))(2)] (4). The structures of 3 and 4 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Structural data for 3 indicate that the Ag(I) ion is coordinated by two ligands of 1 in a distorted tetrahedral fashion thereby leading to a 1D zigzag polymeric array. The zigzag chains are interdigitated with weak pi-pi stacking interactions. The structure of 4 consists of a discrete molecular rectangle where the silver atom has a distorted square-planar coordination with the pyridyl ligands and azomethine nitrogen atoms of 2. An intramolecular pi-pi interaction between the phenyl rings of adjacent Schiff-base 2 functions to stabilize the rectangular architecture. The Ag(I)-Schiff-base coordination polymer 3 is not stable in solution. The degradation and reorganization of 3 to form a [2 x 2] grid architecture [[Ag(4)(C(26)H(22)N(4))(4)](ClO(4))(4)] (3g) was supported in a FAB-MS study. The rectangular structure of 4 remains intact in solution at ambient temperature. The complexes 3g and 4 exhibit unusual luminescence behavior in solution at room temperature with significantly red-shifted emission in the visible region.     

Thermodynamic and electron-transfer properties of copper(II/I) polyaminothiaether complexes

In electron-transfer reactions, the change in the oxidation states of the reactants is generally accompanied by structural changes, which influence the electron-transfer kinetics. Previous studies on the systems of Cu(II)/(I) complexes involving cyclic tetrathiaether ligands indicated that inversion of coordinated donor atoms is a major geometric change during the overall electron-transfer process. Complex formation and isomerization studies on complexes with the 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane ligand have demonstrated that a necessary condition for conformational change is deprotonation followed by inversion of coordinated N atoms. When one or more nitrogen donor atoms in a ligand are replaced with sulfur, there is a choice of N or S inversion. It has been hypothesized that donor atom inversion (N or S donors) is a major factor that can lead to conformationally limited electron-transfer kinetics of copper systems. In the current study, the thermodynamic properties, electron-transfer kinetics and conformational changes in copper(II)[1,4,8-trithia-11-azacyclotetradecane], copper(II)[1,8-dithia-4,11-diazacyclotetradecane] and copper(II)[1,11,-dithia-4,8-diazacyclotetradecane] were determined in order to determine the effect of inversion of coordinated N atoms on electron-transfer rates as a function of low concentrations of water in an aprotic solvent (acetonitrile). By using controlled amounts of water as a hydrogen ion acceptor, deprotonation of amine nitrogen and nitrogen donor inversion was followed by comparing self-exchange rate constants for reduction and oxidation of the copper complexes. Data on thermodynamic properties and electron-transfer kinetics are presented. Possible conformational changes and kinetic pathways for complexes with ligands having mixed N and S donor sets are presented.     

Coordination behaviour of Schiff base 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline hydrazone (ATH) towards cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

The synthesis and characterization of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline hydrazone (ATH) are reported. Elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, UV–Vis–NIR diffuse reflectance and magnetic susceptibility measurement, as well as, in the case of copper complex EPR spectroscopy, have been used to characterize the complexes. In addition, the structure of [NiCl₂(ATH)₂] (2) and [{CuCl(ATH)}₂(μ-Cl)₂] (3) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In all complexes, the ligand ATH bonds to the metal ion through the imine and thiazoline nitrogen atoms. X-ray data indicates that the environment around the nickel atom in 2 may be described as a distorted octahedral geometry with the metallic atom coordinated to two chlorine atoms, two thiazoline nitrogen atoms and two imino nitrogen atoms. With regard to 3, it can be said that its structure consists of dimeric molecules in which copper ions are bridge by two chlorine ligands. The geometry about each copper ion approximates to a distorted square pyramid with each copper atom coordinated to one thiazoline nitrogen atom, one imine nitrogen atom, one terminal chlorine ligand and two bridge chlorine ligands. In compound 3, magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 2–300 K show an intradimer antiferromagnetic interaction (J = −7.5 cm⁻¹).     

Synthesis,characterization, DFT calculations,and antimicrobial activity of Pd(II) and Co(III) complexes with the condensation derivative of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde and Girard’s T reagent

Complexes of Pd(II) and Co(III) with the condensation derivative of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde and Girard T reagent were synthesized, characterized, and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated. The ligand and the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopies, and X-ray crystallography. In both complexes, the deprotonated ligand was coordinated to the metal through the phosphorus, the imine nitrogen, and the carbonyl oxygen atoms. In the octahedral Co(III) complex, two molecules of ligands were coordinated to metal ion, while square-planar environment of Pd(II) complex was constituted of one tridentate ligand and chloride in the fourth coordination place. The ligand and complexes showed moderate antibacterial activity. The molecular structures of the obtained metal complexes and the relative stabilities of two stereoisomers of the ligand were calculated using density functional theory at the S12g/TZ2P level.     

Synthesis and characterization of some new Pb(II), Mn(II) and Ag(I) complexes with a pentaaza macrocyclic ligand containing a piperazine moiety

A pentaaza (N₅) 17-membered macrocyclic ligand (L) has been synthesized and its coordination capability toward perchlorate or nitrate salts of Mn(II), Pb(II) and Ag(I) has been investigated. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, FAB mass spectrometry, magnetic studies, conductivity measurements, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of [PbL](ClO₄)₂ has been determined and it shows the presence of a mononuclear complex, with the Pb(II) ion coordinated to the five N donor atoms of the ligand in a hemidirected structure with the presence of a stereochemically active lone pair of electrons on the Pb(II) ion.     

Synthesis of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with 2-(2-hydroxyphenyliminomethyl)-1-(4-methyl-phenylsulfonamido)benzene and crystal structures of {bis(methanol)[2-(2′-N-tosylaminophenyl)iminomethyl]phenolato}nickel(II) and {bis(2,2′-bipyridine)[2-(2′-N-tosylaminophenyl)iminomethyl]phenolato}copper(II)

Electrochemical oxidation of metal anodes (cobalt, copper and nickel) in acetonitrile solutions of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyliminomethyl)-1-(4-methyl-phenylsulfonamido)benzene (H₂L) gave [CoL], [CuL] and [NiL] complexes. When 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) was added to the electrolytic cell, the mixed complexes [MLL′] (M=Co, Cu, L′=bipy or M=Ni, L′=phen) were obtained. A binuclear compound of composition [Ni₂L₂(MeOH)₄] (1) was synthesized by reaction of the ligand H₂L and nickel(II) acetate in methanol. X-ray structure determination showed the compound to be binuclear, with each nickel atom coordinated to two nitrogen and two bridging phenol oxygen atoms of two dianionic ligands and two methanol molecules, in an octahedral environment. The crystal structure of [CuLbipy] (2) was determined by X-ray diffraction; with the copper atom in a distorted bipyramidal environment defined by the two bipyridine nitrogen atoms and by the phenolic oxygen and the nitrogen atoms of the dianionic ligand. The electronic and vibrational spectral data of the complexes are discussed and related to the structure.

Weakly coordinating anions: crystallographic and NQR studies of halogen-metal bonding in silver, thallium, sodium, and potassium halomethanesulfonates

35Cl, (79,81)Br, and (127)I NQR (nuclear quadrupole resonance) spectroscopy in conjunction with X-ray crystallography is potentially one of the best ways of characterizing secondary bonding of metal cations such as Ag(+) to halogen donor atoms on the surfaces of very weakly coordinating anions. We have determined the X-ray crystal structure of Ag(O(3)SCH(2)Cl) (a = 13.241(3) A; b = 7.544(2) A; c = 4.925(2) A; orthorhombic; space group Pnma; Z = 4) and compared it with the known structure of Ag(O(3)SCH(2)Br) (Charbonnier, F.; Faure, R.; Loiseleur, H. Acta Crystallogr., Sect. B 1978, 34, 3598-3601). The halogen atom in each is apical (three-coordinate), being weakly coordinated to two silver ions. (127)I NQR studies on Ag(O(3)SCH(2)I) show the expected NQR consequences of three-coordination of iodine: substantially reduced NQR frequencies nu(1) and nu(2) and a fairly small NQR asymmetry parameter eta. The reduction of the halogen NQR frequency of the coordinating halogen atom in Ag(O(3)SCH(2)X) becomes more substantial in the series X = Cl < Br < I, indicating that the coordination to Ag(+) strengthens in this series, as expected from hard-soft acid-base principles. The numbers of electrons donated by the organic iodine atom to Ag(+) have been estimated; these indicate that the bonding to the cation is weak but not insignificant. We have not found any evidence for the bonding of these organohalogen atoms to another soft-acid metal ion, thallium. A scheme for recycling of thallium halide wastes is included.     

Synthesis and characterization of two tris-chelate complexes of cobalt(III) with 3,5-dimethyl-1-(N-methyl/ethyl)thiocarbamylpyrazole (HL1, HL2) — biologically important bidentate ligands with one ambidentate donor site

Cobalt(III) complexes, of two potentially pyrazole-derived bidentate ligands (with one ambidentate donor site), 3,5-dimethyl-1-(N-methyl/ethyl)thiocarbamylpyrazole (HL₁ for N-methyl, HL₂ for N-ethyl) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV–Vis and ¹H NMR spectral studies. The structure of Co(L₂)₃ has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The complex (triclinic, space group P ) has a distorted octahedral structure with the ambidentate ligands coordinated to the Co(III) ion as uninegative bidentate chelating agents via the pyrazole ring nitrogen (tertiary) and the thiocarbamyl iminyl nitrogen atoms. The distortion from the regular octahedral geometry is ascribed to the stereochemical limitations imposed by the planar bidentate ligands.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic, electrochemical and structural characterization of Cu(II) complexes with asymmetric NN′OS coordination spheres

A set of four Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(cdnapen)], [Cu(cdnappd)], [Cu(cdMenappd)] and [Cu(cdMeMeOsalpd)], derived from Schiff base ligands with an asymmetric NN′OS coordination sphere have been synthesized. The molecular and the crystal structures have been determined by X-ray diffractometry. The structural results confirm that the complexes are tetra coordinated. The copper (II) ion coordinates to two nitrogen atoms from the imine moiety of the ligand, a sulfur atom from the methyl dithiocarboxylate moiety and a phenolic oxygen atom. The complexes show an unusual tetrahedral distortion to the square-planar geometry around the metal centre in spite of the pseudomacrocyclic skeleton of the ligand. The complexes were further characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The degree of tetrahedral distortion of the complexes appears to be dependent on the number of carbon atoms of the aliphatic bridge and the nature of the coordinating atoms.

Synthesis,crystal structure,fluorescence and electrochemical properties of two Ag(I) complexes based on 2-(4′-pyridyl)-benzoxazole/SPPh3 ligands

Abstract

To explore the luminescence properties of silver complexes in the solid state, two Ag(I) complexes, [Ag(4-PBO)₂(NO₃)] {di[2-(4′-pyridyl)-benzoxazole]silver(I) nitrate} (1) and [Ag₂(SPPh₃)₄](ClO₄)₂ {[tetra(triphenylphosphine sulfide)disilver(I)] diperchlorate} (2) (4-PBO =2-(4′-pyridyl)-benzoxazole, SPPh₃?=?triphenylphosphine sulfide), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that 1 is three-coordinate by two nitrogen atoms from two 4-PBO ligands and an oxygen atom from the coordinated nitrate anion forming a triangular plane configuration. In 2, the SPPh₃ ligands adopt a monodentate coordinated and monoatomic bridging mode to connect two Ag(I) ions, resulting in a three-coordinate symmetrical binuclear structure. In the solid state, the luminescence properties of the ligands 4-PBO, SPPh₃ and their complexes were investigated. The results demonstrated that 1 results in the fluorescence quenching of aggregates due to the strong π–π stacking effect. The fluorescence enhancement of 2 may be attributed to the “aggregation-induced emission” (AIE) effect of restricted intramolecular rotations of the peripheral phenyl rings against the central core. In addition, cyclic voltammograms of 1 and 2 indicated an irreversible Ag⁺/Ag couple.
