Synthesis and magnetic properties of chloroanilato-bridged manganese(II) binuclear complexes

Five chloroanilato-bridged manganese(II) binuclear complexes, [Mn₂(CA)L₄](ClO₄)₂, where L = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (Me₂-bpy), 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me-phen), 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline (Cl-phen), 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me₂-phen), and CA represents the dianion of chloroanilic acid, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity and room temperature magnetic moment measurements, and by spectroscopy. It is proposed that these complexes have CA-bridged structures and consist of two manganese(II) ions in a distorted-octahedral environment. The complexes [Mn₂(CA)(Me₂-bpy)₄](ClO₄)₂ (1) and [Mn₂(CA)(Me-phen)₄](ClO₄)₂ (2) were characterized by variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (4–300 K) and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, Ĥ = −2JŜ ₁ Ŝ ₂, giving the exchange integral J = −1.98 cm⁻¹ for (1) and J = −2.41 cm⁻¹ for (2). This result indicates that there is a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between the two Mn^II ions within each molecule.

Binuclear iron(III) complexes bridged by terephthalato groups

Six new μ-terephthalato iron(III) binuclear complexes have been prepared and identified: [Fe₂(TPHA)(L)₄]-(ClO₄)₄ [L = 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy); 1,10-phenanthroline (phen); 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (Me₂bpy); 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me-phen); 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline (Cl-phen) and 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen)]; where TPHA = the terephthalate dianion. Based on the elemental analyses, molar conductance and magnetic moments of room-temperature measurements, and spectroscopic studies, extended TPHA-bridged structures consisting of two iron(III) ions, each in an octahedral environment, are proposed for these complexes. The [Fe₂(TPHA)(Me-phen)₄](ClO₄)₄ (1) and [Fe₂(TPHA)(phen)₄](ClO₄)₄ (2) complexes were characterized by variable temperature magnetic susceptibility (4–300 K) measurements and the observed data were successfully simulated by the equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, Ĥ = −2JŜ ₁ Ŝ ₂, giving the exchange integrals J = −1.05 cm⁻¹ for (1) and J = −9.28 cm⁻¹ for (2). This result indicates the presence of a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between the metal ions within each molecule. The influence of the terminal ligand methyl substituents on magnetic interactions between the metals is also discussed.

Copper(II) complexes of entwined 2,9-di(o-substituted phenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline type ligands and intramolecular quenching in copper(I) complexes

Cu¹¹ complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline, disubstituted at the 2 and 9 positions or monosubstituted at the 2 position by phenyl moieties possessingortho substituents, were prepared and investigated by spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. The electronic spectral d-d band position varies from 14 500 to 13 200 cm⁻¹. E.s.r. g_‖ values are between 2.256 to 2.283 and A_‖ between 164 to 117×10⁻⁴ cm⁻¹. Thebis[2,9-di(o-substituted phenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline]Cu¹¹ complexes undergo reversible one-electron electrochemical reduction (Cu¹¹/Cu¹) in the +0.536 to +0.825 V potential range versus s.c.e., whereas thebis[2-mono(o-substituted phenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline]Cu¹¹ complexes undergo reduction in the +0.360 to +0.405 V range; the redox couple is found to be quasireversible. Emission studies on copper(I) complexes show that onlybis[2,9-di(o-tolyl)-1,10-phen]Copper(I) complex exhibits emission properties. Emission behaviour of other structurally similar compounds is explored. TMC 2555     

Synthesis and photophysical properties of luminescent mononuclear and dinuclear gold(I) complexes with ethynyl-substituted phenanthrolines

A novel asymmetric dinuclear gold(I) complex with 3,6-diethynylphenanthroline, 3,6-bis{(PPh₃)–Au–C≡C}₂-phen, has been synthesized from Au(PPh₃)Cl (PPh₃ = triphenylphosphine) and 3,6-diethynyl-1,10-phenanthroline. The asymmetrical dinuclear gold(I) complex, 3,6-bis{(PPh₃)–Au–C≡C}₂-phen, demonstrated a weak phosphorescence assignable to the metal-perturbed ³ π–π* transition in the long wavelength region compared to an intense emission of the symmetrical dinuclear complex with 3,8-diethynylphenanthroline, 3,8-bis{(PPh₃)–Au–C≡C}₂-phen. A similar tendency of phosphorescent bands for the mononuclear gold(I) complexes with 5-ethynylphenanthroline, 5-{(PPh₃)–Au–C≡C}-phen, and 3-ethynylphenanthroline, 3-{(PPh₃)–Au–C≡C}-phen was observed. The absorption bands assignable to the π–π*(C≡Cphen) transition and phosphorescent emission assignable to the metal-perturbed ³ π–π* transition for these four gold(I) complexes were reasonably consistent with the results calculated by DFT and TD-DFT.

Three novel heterobinuclear complexes have been prepared and identified as [Cu(oxap)Ni(L)₂](ClO₄)₂·ξH₂O, where oxap denotes theN,N′-bis(2-aminopropyl)oxamido dianion and L denotes 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen). The crystal structure of [Cu(oxap)Ni(phen)₂]-(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O has been determined. Crystal data: triclinic, space group , a=12.079 (6), b=12.409 (4), c=17.261 (8) ?, α=70.91 (2), β=86.72 (4), γ=89.19 (3)^o. At room temperature, Z=2. The Cu^II is in a square planar environment and the Ni^II is in an octahedral environment. The Cu−Ni distance is 5.292 ?. The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibilities of [Cu(oxap)Ni(phen)₂]-(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O and [Cu(oxap)Ni(bipy)₂](ClO₄)₂ have been studied in the 4.2–300 K range, giving the exchange integral J=−92.4 cm⁻¹ for bipy and J=−94.3 cm⁻¹ for phen. These results are commensurate with antiferromagnetic interactions between the adjacent metal ions.     

Synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties of cyanide-bridged macrocyclic complexes

Three cyanide-bridged dodecanuclear macrocyclic wheel-like complexes [Cr(bpmb)(CN)₂]₆[Mn(5-Brsalpn)]₆·12H₂O (1), [Co(bpmb)(CN)₂]₆[Mn(5-Brsalpn)]₆·12H₂O (2) and [Co(bpmb)(CN)₂]₆[Mn(5-Clsalpn)]₆·24H₂O·8CH₃CN (3) [bpmb²⁻= 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)-4-methylbenzenate dianion; 5-Brsalpn²⁻ = N,N′-propylenebis(5-bromosalicylideneaminato) dianion; 5-Clsalpn²⁻ = N,N′-propylenebis(5-chlorosalicylideneaminato) dianion] have been synthesized and their crystal structures and magnetic properties have been investigated. The three compounds are structurally isomorphous and consist of alternating Mn(III)-Schiff base cations and [M(bpmb)(CN)₂]⁻ anions, generating cyanide-bridged nanosized dodecanuclear macrocyclic structures with an approximate diameter of 2 nm. The study of the magnetic properties of complex 1 reveals an antiferromagnetic interaction between the Cr(III) and Mn(III) ions through the cyanide bridges. A best-fit to the magnetic susceptibility of the complex leads to a magnetic coupling constant of J _CrMn = −2.65(6) cm⁻¹ on the basis of a one-dimensional alternating chain model with the Hamiltonian $ H = - J_{CrMn} \sum\limits_{i = 0}^N {S_i \cdot S_{i + 1} } $ H = - J_{CrMn} \sum\limits_{i = 0}^N {S_i \cdot S_{i + 1} } .     

Mononuclear Rare Earth Metal Complexes based on 1,10-phenanthroline Derivatives as Catalysts for Hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl Phosphate (NPP)

Two multidentate ligands: N,N′-di-(propionic acid-2′-yl-)-2,9-diaminomethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (L1) and N,N′-di-(3′-methylbutyric acid-2′-yl-)-2,9-diaminomethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (L2) were synthesized. The hydrolytic kinetics of p-nitrophenyl phosphate (NPP) catalyzed by complexes of L1 and L2 with La(III), Gd(III) have been studied. Both LnL and LnLH₋₁ have been examined as catalysis for the hydrolysis of NPP in aqueous solution at 298 K, I = 0.10 mol dm⁻³ KNO₃ at the pH range 7.4–9.1, respectively. Kinetic studies show that both LnL and LnLH₋₁ have catalytic activity, but LnLH₋₁ is more active than LnL in the hydrolysis of NPP. The second-order rate constants for the hydrolysis of NPP are k_GdL1H−1 = 0.01399 mol⁻¹ dm³ s⁻¹, k_GdL1 = 0.0000110 mol⁻¹ dm³ s⁻¹ for complexes GdL1H₋₁ and GdL1, respectively. A new mechanism was proposed for the hydrolysis of NPP catalyzed by LnL and LnLH₋₁.

Multispectroscopic DNA interaction studies of a water-soluble nickel(II) complex containing different dinitrogen aromatic ligands

The water-soluble Ni(II) complex, [Ni(bipy)₂(phen-dione)](OAc)₂·2H₂O (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine and phen-dione = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) has been synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The binding interactions of this complex with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were investigated using fluorimetry, spectrophotometry, circular dichroism and viscosimetry. In fluorimetric studies, the enthalpy and entropy of the reaction between the complex and CT-DNA showed that the reaction is exothermic (ΔH = −123.9 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔS = −323.5 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹). The competitive binding studies showed that the complex could not release methylene blue completely. The complex showed absorption hyperchromism in its UV–Vis spectrum with DNA. The calculated binding constant, K _b obtained from UV–Vis absorption studies was 2 × 10⁵ M⁻¹. Moreover, the complex induced detectable changes in the CD spectrum of CT-DNA, as well as changes in its viscosity. The results suggest that this nickel(II) complex interact with CT-DNA via a groove-binding mode.     

Transition metal coordination polymers with polycarboxylic acid as bridging ligands: Synthesis and structure characterization of [Fe(μ4-bta)0.5(phen)(OH)]<Subscript>n</Subscript>

A new 2D (two-dimensional) coordination polymer, [Fe(μ4-bta)o.5(phen)(OH)]_n (1), has been hydrothermally synthesized with FeCl₃ 6H₂, Na₄bta (h₄bta = 1,2,4,5-benzentetracarboxylic acid), 1,10-phen (1,10-phenanthroline) and H₂O as raw materials. The crystals of the compound belong to monoclinic P2₁/n space group, a = 1.0129(2) nm, b = 0.9265(2) nm, c = 1.5696(3) nm, β=91.37(3)°V=1.4721(5) nm³,Z=3, final R₁=0.0292, wR ₂=0.0798 for 2572 [/>2σ(/)] observed reflections. The result of structure determination shows that in the compound each bta ligand is connected with four Fe³, forming a new μ4-coordination mode. Four deprotonated carboxylic groups of bta link to Fe³ ions alternatively through monodentate and bidentate coordination fashion, constructing 2D layer network. The measurement of variable temperature magnetic susceptibility indicates that there exist antiferromagnetic interactions between Fe³ ions in the compound. The TGA spectrum displays relatively fine thermal stability of the compound. In addition, IR and UV-Vis spectra of compound 1 have also been measured.

Summary Reactions of bis(1-oxopyridine-2-thione) Ni^II or Cu^II with 2,2-bipyridine (bipy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) yield complexes of stoichiometry: Ni(C₅H₄NOS)₂L {L = bipy, two isomers: (1) and (2), L = phen, one isomer (3)} and Cu(C₅H₄NOS)₂(phen)·0.75CHCl₃ (4). The spectroscopy (i.r., u.v.-vis., e.s.r.) and magnetism studies of the above complexes are described. On the basis of conductivity, the Cu^II-phen complex has been formulated as [Cu(C₅H₄NOS)(phen)₂][Cu(C₅H₄NOS)₃]·1.5CHCl₃ (4). The vis. absorption spectra support similar octahedral structures for the minor bipy isomer (2) and for the Ni^II-phen complex [(3)], whereas the major isomer [(1)] has a different structure. The e.s.r. spectrum of the Cu^II-phen complex (4) is commensurate with an elongated octahedral structure. New methods for the preparation and spectroscopy of M(C₅H₄NOS)₂ (M = Mn, Ni, Cu or Zn) compounds have been investigated.     

Physicochemical and Biological Characterization of Transition Metal Complexes with a Nitrogen Donor Tetra-dentate Novel Macrocyclic Ligand

A novel tetradentate nitrogen donor [N₄] macrocyclic ligand, i.e. 3,5,13,15,21,22-hexaaza-2,6,12,16-tetramethyl-4,14-dithia-tricyclo[15.3.1.1(7–11)]docosane-1(21),2,5,7,9,11(22),12,15,17,19-decaene, has been synthesized. Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with this ligand have been prepared and subjected to elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, ¹H-n.m.r. (Ligand), i.r., electronic, and e.p.r. spectral studies. On the basis of molar conductance the complexes may be formulated as [M(L)X₂] and [Ni(L)]X₂ [where M = Mn(II), Co(II) and Cu(II), and X = Cl⁻ and NO₃⁻] due to their nonelectrolytic nature in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO). All the complexes are of the high spin type and are six coordinated. On the basis of i.r., electronic and e.p.r. spectral studies an octahedral geometry has been assigned to Mn(II) and Co(II), square planar for Ni(II) complexes, and tetragonal for Cu(II) complexes. The antimicrobial activities of the ligand and its complexes, as growth inhibiting agents, have been screened in vitro against several species of bacteria and plant pathogenic fungi.     

Catalytic activity of Mn-substituted barium hexaaluminates for methane combustion

The catalysts of hexaaluminate (BaMnxAl12-xO19-δ , x = 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0) to be used in methane combustion have been successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method and supercritical drying. The crystalline structure and surface area of catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption analysis of BET method. BET analysis revealed that the preparing and drying method proposed here provides stable materials with higher surface area of 51.4 m2/g in comparison to materials prepared using conventional ambient drying method for BaMnxAl12?xO19-δ calcined at 1200℃ under oxygen. XRD analysis indicated that formation of a pure single phase BaMnxAl12-xO19-δ occurred up to x = 3 in the case of Mn-substituted barium hexaaluminates. Incorporation of Mn in excess leads to BaAl2O4 phase formation. As far as the valence state of Manganese ions was concerned, the introduced Mn ions were either divalent or trivalent. The first Mn ions were introduced in the matrix essentially as Mn2 and only for BaMn3Al9O19-δ does manganese exist exclusively as Mn3 ; the higher the Mn concen- tration, the higher the proportion of Mn3 . Catalytic activity for methane combustion has been measured for Mn-substituted barium hexaaluminates, light-off temperature was observed in the 512-624℃ range. The highest activity was obtained for catalysts containing 3 Mn ions per unit cell, which reveals that the BaMnxAl12-xO19-δ catalyst was a promising methane combustion catalyst with high activity and good thermal stability. Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) under hydrogen has been used to correlate the catalytic activity with the amount of easily reducible species.     

Syntheses,structures, and magnetism of two coordination compounds with 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Two coordination polymers, {[Mn(1,10-phen)₂(3,4-H₂bptc)]?·?(H₂O)}_{2 n} (1) and {[Co₂(1,10-phen)(3,4-bptc)(H₂O)₂]?·?H₂O} _n (2) (3,4-H₄bptc = 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid, 1,10-phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline), have been prepared and structurally characterized. In both compounds, 3,4-H₂bptc^2– and 3,4-bptc^4? exhibit different coordination modes and lead to various architectures. Compound 1 displays 1-D zigzag chains constructed with hydrogen bonds. Compound 2 exhibits a 2-D layer constructed from bpta^4? between the dinuclear Co(II) units. The thermal stabilities and magnetic properties are also reported. In addition, 1 was explored as a luminescent material. The carboxylic oxygen atoms act as H-bond acceptors and donors forming a 1-D ladder-like arrangement.     

Complexes of tris(o-phenanthroline)nickel(II) and copper(II) bromide with dithiocarbamates derived from α-amino acids

Complexes of 1,10-o-phenanthroline (o-phen)-Ni^II and Cu^II with dithiocarbamates derived from -amino acids (glycine, phenylalanine, alanine, methionine and tryptophan) were synthesized and characterized by chemical analysis, spectral and thermal studies and by biological screening; the complexes are non-electrolytes. The empirical formula are [Ni(o-phen)₂(aadtc)] and [Cu₂(o-phen)₂(phaladtc)(H₂O)₂Br₂] where, aadtc = glycinyl-, phenylalaninyl-, alaninyl-, methioninyl- and tryptophanyldithiocarbamate and phaladtc = phenylalaninyldithiocarbamate. The structure of these complexes is probably octahedral. Molecular association through hydrogen bonding between the —NH and the carboxylate groups is proposed for the Ni^II complexes. The Cu^II complex is dimeric with the phenylalaninyldithiocarbamate acting as a bridge.     

Thermochemistry of the ternary solid complex Gd(C5H8NS2)3(C12H8N2)

The novel ternary solid complex Gd(C₅H₈NS₂)₃(C₁₂H₈N₂) has been obtained from the reaction of hydrous gadolinium chloride, ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC), and 1,10-phenanthroline (o-phen · H₂O) in absolute ethanol. The complex was described by an elemental analysis, TG-DTG, and an IR spectrum. The enthalpy change of the complex formation reaction from a solution of the reagents, Δ_r H _m ^ϑ (sol), and the molar heat capacity of the complex, c _m , were determined as being − 15.174 ± 0.053 kJ/mol and 72.377 ± 0.636 J/(mol K) at 298.15 K by using an RD496-III heat conduction microcalorimeter. The enthalpy change of a complex formation from the reaction of the reagents in a solid phase, Δ_r H _m ^ϑ (s), was calculated as being 52.703 ± 0.304 kJ/mol on the basis of an appropriate thermochemical cycle and other auxiliary thermodynamic data. The thermodynamics of the formation reaction of the complex was investigated by the reaction in solution. Fundamental parameters, the activation enthalpy (ΔH _≠ ^ϑ ), the activation entropy (ΔS _≠ ^ϑ ), the activation free energy (ΔG _≠ ^ϑ ), the apparent reaction rate constant (k), the apparent activation energy (E), the preexponential constant (A), and the reaction order (n), were obtained by the combination of the thermochemical data of the reaction and kinetic equations, with the data of thermokinetic experiments. The constant-volume combustion energy of the complex, Δ_c U, was determined as being −17588.79 ± 8.62 kJ/mol by an RBC-II type rotatingbomb calorimeter at 298.15 K. Its standard enthalpy of combustion, Δ_c H _m ^ϑ , and standard enthalpy of formation, Δ_f H _m ^ϑ , were calculated to be −17604.28 ± 8.62 and −282.43 ± 9.58 kJ/mol, respectively.
