Solvent Extraction of Vanadium with α-Benzoin Oxime

The solvent extraction of vanadium by a chloroform solution of α-benzoin oxime was investigated. The most favorable condition for the extraction has been found in the pH rang of 1.8 to 3.0 in sulfate or chloride buffer solutions, but with better extraction efficiency when sulfate was used. A solution of 2×10^?2 M α-benzoin oxime in chloroform was used, and 1×10^?4 to 2×10^?2 M vanadium(V) was extracted favorably in about 89% yield by a single extraction, and in about 97% yield by a double extraction. The effects of shaking time, concentration of α-benzoin oxime, and diverse ions have also been investigated. Vanadium(V) can be readily extracted without interference in the presence of copper(II), aluminum(III), iron(III), silver(I), zirconium(IV), and chromium(III).     

Synthesis and Biological Activities of O-Alkyl,O-Aryl,O-{Z-[1-Phenyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethylidene]amino} Phosphorothioates

A series of title compounds 2 were efficiently synthesized via the condensation of 1-phenyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanone oxime with various asymmetric thiophosphoryl chlorides in sodium hydroxide powder and acetonitrile system. The structures of title compounds 2 were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, EI-MS, and elemental analysis. The results of preliminary bioassays indicated that the title compounds 2 possessed good to moderate insecticidal activity against aphides at the dosage of 250 mg/L, and some of them exhibited moderate fungicidal activities at the concentration of 100 mg/L.     

Syntheses and characterizations of a novel 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline and a Co(III) complex

The 2-furan-2-yl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-2-carbaldehyde oxime (HL) and complex of tridentate ligand containing oxime, imine, and amine donors resulting from reactions with cobalt(II) salt have been synthesized and characterized by spectral methods (FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis, mass), elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity, and thermal analysis (TG, DTA) techniques. The molecular structure of HL was elucidated from single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystallographic analysis shows that the molecule crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c. In the complex, chloride was not coordinated as confirmed by conductivity measurements. The metal is coordinated to the oxime, imine, and amine nitrogen atoms and decomposes with loss of the organic ligand and halogen to leave metal oxide. The metal to ligand ratio was 1?:?2 by elemental analysis and mass spectrum.     

Synthesis,characterization, single crystal XRD and biological screenings of organotin(IV) derivatives with 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-carbodithioic acid

Organotin(IV) thiocarboxylates R₂SnL₂ (R = Me: 1: Ph: 2)/R₂(Cl)SnL (R = n-Bu: 3; Ph: 4)/R₃SnL (R = Me: 5; n-Bu: 6; Ph: 7), where L = 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-carbodithioate, have been synthesized by stirring together 1,2-hydroxyethylpiperazine and CS₂ in methanol, and then refluxing with a di-/triorganotin chloride. The synthesized products have been characterized by various spectroscopic (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, EI-MS) techniques and single crystal XRD. FT-IR data indicate bidentate binding of the ligand. The magnitude of ²J(¹¹⁹Sn–¹H) demonstrated a skew trapezoidal environment around tin(IV) in 1, whereas the metal geometry in 5 was between distorted tetrahedral and trigonal bipyramidal in solution. ¹³C NMR revealed four- and five-coordinate environments in 6 and 7, respectively, in non-coordinating solvent. EI-MS data agreed very well with the structural skeleton of the products. Single crystal XRD study has shown skew trapezoidal- and trigonal-bipyramidal Sn(IV) in 1 and 7, respectively. Compound 6 interacted with salmon sperm DNA (SS-DNA) with significant hypochromic effect and an intercalating mode of binding. Diorganotin(IV) derivatives (2 and 3) generally exhibited poor antibacterial/antifungal potential as compared to their trialkyltin(IV)/triaryltin(IV) counterparts (5 and 6). The in vitro hemolytic activities show that average lysis of human red blood cells caused by 1–7 was significantly lower compared to triton X-100 (positive control, 100% lysis) and not very much higher than PBS (negative control, 0% lysis).     

Conformational Behaviors of 2-Substituted Cyclohexanone Oximes: An AB Initio,Hybrid Dft Study,and NBO Interpretation

Abstract

The impacts of the generalized anomeric effect (GAE) and gauche effect (GE) associated with donor–acceptor electron delocalizations and dipole–dipole interactions on the conformational properties of 2-methoxy- (1), 2-methylthio- (2), 2-methylseleno- (3), 2-fluoro- (4), 2-chloro- (5), and 2-bromocyclohexanone oxime (6) have been studied by means of hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP/6–311+G**) and ab initio molecular orbital (HF/6–311+G**)-based methods and natural bond orbital (NBO) interpretation. Both methods used showed that the above compounds exist predominantly in the axial chair conformation and the axial conformation stability increased from 2-methoxy- (1) to 2-methylselenocyclohexanone oxime (3) and also from 2-fluoro- (4) to 2-bromocyclohexanone oxime (6). The NBO analysis showed that the GAE increases from compound 1 to compound 3 and also from compound 4 to compound 6. GE does not have significant impact on the conformational behaviors of compounds 1–6 and GAE succeeds in accounting qualitatively for the increase of the axial preferences in both series of compounds.

Synthesis,structural characterization and substituent effects of two copper(II) complexes with benzaldehyde ortho-oxime ligands

Two new Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(L¹)₂] (1) and [Cu(L²)₂] (2) (HL¹ = (E)-3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxy benzaldehyde O-methyl oxime; HL² = (E)-3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxy benzaldehyde O-ethyl oxime), have been synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. X-ray crystallographic analyses show that complexes 1 and 2 have similar structures, consisting of one Cu(II) atom and two L⁻ units. In both complexes, the Cu(II) atom, lying on an inversion center, is four-coordinated in a trans-CuN₂O₂ square-planar geometry by two phenolate O and two oxime N atoms from two symmetry-related N,O-bidentate oxime ligands. Moreover, both complexes form an infinite three-dimensional supramolecular structure involving intermolecular C–H···Br hydrogen bonds and π···π stacking interactions between the metal chelate rings and aromatic rings. Substituent effects in the two complexes are discussed.     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF DIAQUA(3-pTOLYLIMINO-2-BUTANONE OXIMATO)(3-p-TOLYLIMINO-2-BUTANONE OXIME)NICKEL(II) PERCHLORATE

Abstract

[Ni(L^?1)(HL)(H₂O)₂].ClO₄ with a Schiff base ligand L (HL = 3-p-tolylimino-2-butanone oxime) was prepared and structurally characterized by IR, cyclic voltammetry and X-ray diffraction methods. The nickel atom has distorted octahedral coordination consisting of four nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. The equatorial plane is formed by two oxime nitrogen atoms and two imine nitrogen atoms of two Schiff base ligand (L^?1 and HL) with Ni‐ N bond distances between 2.01(1) and 2.11(1)Å. Water oxygen atoms occupy axial positions with Ni‐ O bond distances of 2.06(1) and 2.15(1) Å. The oxime groups in the Schiff base ligands are coordinated to Ni atom through their nitrogen atoms. One asymmetric intramolecular hydrogen bridge between the two oxime groups is found in the title complex.     

A Co(III) complex with a tridentate amine-imine-oxime ligand from 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline: synthesis,crystal structure,spectroscopic and thermal characterization

A cobalt(III) complex [Co(L)₂]Cl · PPO · H₂O (1) (HL = 1-(2-aminobenzylimino)-1-phenyl-propan-2-one oxime, PPO = 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione-2-oxime) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, spectral, thermal, magnetic and molar conductance measurements and single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P2₁/c. Complex 1 consists of one uncoordinated water, one 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione-2-oxime molecule, one bis[1-(2-aminobenzylimino)-1-phenyl-propan-2-one oxime]cobalt(III) cation and one uncoordinated chloride. The coordination geometry around Co is slightly distorted octahedral, completed with six nitrogens of two L^? ligands. The oxime moieties have E configurations. In the crystal structure, intramolecular O–H···Cl and N–H···O and intermolecular N–H···O, O–H···Cl and N–H···Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains parallel to the c axis; hydrogen-bonded PPO molecules fill the spaces between the chains and stabilization of the structure.     

The Synthesis and Characterization of Mononuclear and Binuclear Iron(II) Clathrochelate Complexes Derived from 2,3-Butanedione Oxime Hydrazone

The synthesis and characterization of a new series of iron(II) clathrochelate complexes, including the first example of a binuclear covalently linked c1athrochelate complex, is reported. The ligand system is based on the bifunctional chelate 2,3-butanedione oxime hydrazone which forms a tris-complex with iron(II). The c1athrochelate is completed by capping the complex with both a boronic acid/oxime capping reaction and a formaldehyde/hydrazone capping reaction. Electrochemical and spectroscopic characterizations of the complexes are discussed.     

Crystal structure,spectroscopic characterization,DFT computations and molecular docking study of a synthesized Zn(II) complex

The Zn(II) complex, dichloro[N-hydroxy-1,1-di(2-pyridinyl)methanimine]zinc(II), was synthesized from the reaction between ZnCl₂ and di-2-pyridylketone oxime. The structural and spectral characterizations were performed by using single crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, Laser-Raman, NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopic techniques. To support experimental evidences, computational results were obtained with the DFT/B3LYP method using the 6-311++G(d,p)+LanL2DZ mixed basis set. Theoretical analyses of some structural and spectroscopic results of effects of intermolecular Cl···H interactions in the crystal packing of the Zn(II) complex were investigated with the mentioned computational level. The non-bonding interactions in the experimental crystal packing of the complex were examined by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The HOMO and LUMO analyses were used for investigation of electronic transitions obtained with UV–Vis spectroscopy. NBO analyses were used to investigate the hyperconjugation interactions between donor and acceptor groups, coordination environment, electronic configuration and electron numbers of the Zn(II) metal ion and the natural atomic charges of the complex. The nucleophilic and electrophilic reactive sites of the complex were studied by MEP surface analysis. The static polarizabilities (α) and static hyperpolarizabilities (β) were analyzed theoretically to characterize NLO profile of the complex. The interaction with A-DNA (PDB ID: 1ZF6) of the Zn(II) complex was investigated with a molecular docking study.     

A Direct Spectrophotometric Assay for Pyruvic Oxime Hydrolase

Abstract

A sensitive spectrophotometric method, which directly measures the formation of pyruvic oxime from pyruvate and NH₂OH in the UV, is described for the detection of pyruvic oxime hydrolase activity in biochemical systems. The method was used in an attempt to detect pyruvic oxime hydrolase activity in cell-free extracts from an Alcaligenes sp. which can grow on pyruvic oxime. Although substantial pyruvic oxime + nitrite oxidative activity was detected in cells and cell-free extract of this bacterium, catalysis of pyruvic oxime formation was not observed within the error of the method (～20% of the uncatalyzed rate constant of 1.9x10^?3 s^?1 at pH 7, 22°C). The rate of pyruvic oxime oxidation by cells and cell-free extract was at least 10⁵?10⁶ times greater than the rate of its hydrolysis, thus implying that oxidation of pyruvic oxime need not require prior hydrolysis. The method would appear to be applicable to hydrolases directed toward a variety of oximes.

Oximato-bridged copper(II) compounds: syntheses,molecular structures,magnetic, thermal and spectroscopic properties

Reaction of the Schiff base, 1-(4-methylimidazol-5-yl) phenylhydrazonopropane-2-one oxime (LH), with copper(II) perchlorate hexahydrate and copper(II) nitrate trihydrate in a 1 : 1 M proportion in methanol affords [Cu₂L₂(H₂O)(ClO₄)](ClO₄) (1) and [Cu₂L₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂] (2) in moderate yields. Both 1 and 2 have been characterized by elemental analysis, ESI-MS, FT-IR, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, EPR, electric conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The X-ray crystal structures of 1·CH₃COCH₃ and 2 have been determined. Both compounds are dinuclear copper(II) complexes, with each copper μ₂-bridged by two oxime ligands in a μ₂-η¹,η² fashion. Variable temperature magnetic studies on 1 and 2 show that both compounds are dominated by an antiferromagnetic coupling through the oxime bridges.     

Synthesis,characterization, and antibacterial activity of triorganotin(IV) complexes of 2-methylphenol

The triorganotin(IV) complex Ph₃Sn(OPhMe-2) (1) has been synthesized by the reaction of Ph₃SnCl with NaOPhMe-2, while complexes of composition n-Bu₃Sn(OPhMe-2) (2) and Me₃Sn(OPhMe-2) (3) (where ?OPhMe-2 = ?OC₆H₄CH₃-2) have been obtained from the reaction of n-Bu₃SnCl and Me₃SnCl with 2-methylphenol in the presence of triethylamine in carbon tetrachloride. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, molecular weight determination, and IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral studies. Thermal behavior of the complexes has been studied by TG and DTA techniques. The organotin(IV) complexes have also been screened for antibacterial activity and exhibit appreciable activity. The reactions of the complexes with 3- and 4-cyanopyridines yielded 1 : 1 adducts authenticated by physicochemical and IR and ¹H NMR spectral data.     

Unusually Facile Pyrrolization of 2-Acetylcoumarone Oxime with Acetylene

The oxime of 2-acetylcoumarone reacts with acetylene under pressure in the system KOH-DMSO unusually readily forming 2-(2-pyrrolyl)coumarone and the corresponding O-vinyl oxime. Under more rigid conditions 2-(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolyl)coumarone is formed. The possibility of a two-stage transformation of 2-acylcoumarones into 2-pyrrolylcoumarones has therefore been demonstrated for the first time.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 524–529, April, 2005.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic Studies,and Biological Activity of Organosilicon(iv) Complexes of Ligands Derived from 2-Aminobenzothiazole Derivatives and 2-Hydroxy-3-Methoxy Benzaldehyde

Abstract

The Schiff bases derived from the condensation of 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and their silicon(IV) complexes with the general formula R₂Si(L)Cl (R = Et, Bu, Ph, L = 2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy) benzylideneaminobenzo-thiazole) have been synthesized. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, and spectroscopic studies including IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁹Si) spectroscopy. The analytical data suggest trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the silicon atom in the resulting complexes. The ligands and their organosilicon complexes have also been evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity against bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli) and fungi (Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans). The complexes were found to be more potent as compared to the ligands.

Organotin(IV) complexes with 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde-N(4)-ethylthiosemicarbazone: Synthesis,characterization, and in vitro antibacterial activity

Four new organotin(IV) complexes with 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde-N(4)-ethylthiosemicarbazone [(H₂DNET), (1)] of the type [MeSnCl(DNET] (2), [BuSnCl(DNET)] (3), [PhSnCl(DNET)] (4), and [Ph₂Sn(DNET] (5) have been synthesized by the direct reaction of H₂DNET (1) with organotin(IV) chloride(s) in the presence of potassium hydroxide in absolute methanol. All the compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity, UV-Vis, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectral studies. The molecular structure of ligand (1) has been confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Spectroscopic data clearly suggested that Sn(IV) center is coordinated with the ONS tridentate ligand (H₂DNET) and exhibits a five-coordinate geometry in solution. Antibacterial studies were carried out in vitro against four bacterial strains. All organotin(IV) compounds (2–5) showed good activity against various bacteria but lower activity than the reference drug (Ciprofloxacin). The results demonstrate that organic groups attached to tin(IV) moiety have significant effect on their biological activities. Among them, diphenyltin(IV) derivative 5 exhibits significantly good activity than the other organotin(IV) derivatives (2–4).     

Synthesis,characterization and magnetic properties of mixed-valence iron complexes with 2-pyridyl oximes

Abstract

Two new mixed-valence iron complexes with 2-pyridyl oximes, [Fe(mpko)₃Fe(H₂O)₂(NO₃)](NO₃)·2H₂O (1) (mpko^? = methyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oximate) and [{Fe(dpko)₃}₂Fe](ClO₄)·4H₂O (2) (dpko^? = bis(2-pyridyl)ketone oximate), have been prepared by reaction of Fe^III with mpkoH in methanol (1) and Fe^II with dpkoH in methanol/water (2). Dinuclear Fe^II(low-spin)Fe^III(high-spin) and trinuclear Fe^II(low-spin)Fe^III(high-spin)Fe^II(low-spin) cations are present in the crystal structure of 1 and 2, respectively. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds in 1 lead to weak antiferromagnetic interactions between pairs of neighboring Fe^III centers, which allows observation of single-ion zero-field splitting effects.
