Silver(I) dialkyl/alkylene dithiophosphates of the types [Ag{S₂P(OR)₂}] and [Ag{S₂P(OGO)}] (where R = –Pr ⁿ ; G = –CMe₂CH₂CHMe–, –CH₂CMe₂CH₂–, –CMe₂CMe₂– or –CH₂CH₂CHMe–) have been prepared by treating an aqueous solution of AgNO₃ with ammonia salts of the respective dithiophosphoric acid. The derivatives form 1:1 adducts readily with 2,2-bipyridine or Ph₃P in CH₂Cl₂ solution. These novel complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight measurements and spectral (i.r., ¹H- and ³¹P-n.m.r.) studies.

Their structures are discussed on the basis of IR, Raman, UV–vis, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P), and mass spectroscopic data, as well as elemental analysis and molar conductivity. In the X-ray crystal structure of the square-planar [Pd(mpyptsc)Cl]·DMSO, mpyptsc^? is coordinated to Pd(II) in a tridentate manner through pyridyl N, azomethine N, and thiol S, and the fourth coordination site is occupied by a chloride. A theoretical study on [Pd(mpyptsc)Cl]·DMSO was undertaken through DFT conformational analysis. The in vitro cytotoxic activity has been evaluated against human colon cancer (HCT116) and prostate cancer (DU145) cell lines. Hmpyptsc and [Zn(Hmpyptsc)Cl₂] were most active with mean IC₅₀ values of 3.32 and 2.60 (HCT116), and 3.60 and 3.10 (DU145)?μM, respectively.

Synthesis, crystal structure, and spectral studies of the molecular complex of [60]fullerene with chloro(triphenylphosphine)gold(I), C60·2[(Ph3P)AuCl]

The molecular complex C₆₀·2[(Ph₃P)AuCl] (1) was synthesized. The crystal and molecular structure of1 was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. At room temperature, the [60]fullerene molecules in complex1 are ordered due to π—π interactions between C₆₀ and the phenyl rings of the chloro(triphenylphosphine)gold(1) molecules. The satellite structure, which accompanies the Cls photoelectron peak of complex1, is indicative of a partial suppression of a channel of losses due to π→π transition in the phenyl ring. The 1R spectral data indicate that either a charge is absent or the charge transfer to the fullerene molecule is negligible. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis,characterization and antibacterial activity of a curcumin–silver(I) complex

The current study reports the synthesis of a curcumin–silver(I) complex and its preliminary tests against four bacterial strains viz. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus cereus using agar well diffusion method. The results were compared with curcumin by testing it in parallel with the sample. Curcumin showed zones of inhibition against all tested strains of bacteria. Among all bacterial strains, S. aureus was the most sensitive to curcumin with zone of inhibition of 12.2 mm. However, the curcumin–Ag(I) complex did not show the expected enhanced activity against all bacteria. This is perhaps due to the replacement of curcumin phenolic protons by silver ions which might have suppressed the antibacterial property of curcumin. The current research findings suggest that while synthesizing curcumin–metal complexes, the phenolic heads may either be left unaltered or need to be replaced by better substituents than hydroxy groups. Based on the current findings, biologically enhanced models have been provided as future recommendations.

Synthesis, crystal structure, EPR spectra of Cu2+ doped [Zn(methylisonicotinate)2(H2O)4]·(sac)2 single crystal

The tetraaquabis(methylisonicotinate)zinc(II) disaccharinate [hereafter, [Zn(mein)2(H2O)4]·(sac)2], complex has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic IR, EPR and X-ray diffraction technique. The octahedral Zn(II) ion, which rides on a crystallographic centre of symmetry, is coordinated by two monodentate mein ligands through the ring nitrogen and four aqua ligands to form discrete [Zn(mein)2(H2O)4] unit, which captures two saccharinate ions in up and down positions, each through intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The magnetic environments of Cu2+ doped [Zn(mein)2(H2O)4]·(sac)2 complex have been identified by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. EPR spectra of Cu2+ doped [Zn(mein)2(H2O)4]·(sac)2 single crystals have been studied between 113 and 300 K in three mutually perpendicular planes. The calculated results of the Cu2+ doped [Zn(mein)2(H2O)4]·(sac)2 indicate that Cu2+ ion contains two different complexes and each complexes are located in different chemical environments and each environment contains two magnetically inequivalent Cu2+ sites in distinct orientations occupying substitutional positions in the lattice. The vibrational spectra of this compound were discussed in relation to other compounds containing methyl isonicotinate and saccharinate complexes.
