Synthesis,spectroscopic, thermal,crystal structure properties,and characterization of new Hofmann-Td-type complexes with 3-aminopyridine

In this study, synthesis of two new tetracyanocadmate(II) and tetracyanozincate(II) complexes based on 3-aminopyridine (3AP) and investigation of their structural properties were reported. These complexes were characterized by using vibration spectroscopy, elemental, thermal analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) techniques. Investigation of the elemental, spectral and single crystal data of these complexes showed that the formulas [Cd(3AP)₂Zn(μ₄-CN)₄]_n (1) and [Cd(3AP)₂Cd(μ₄-CN)₄]_n (2) fully explained their crystal structure. General information about the structural and chemical properties of these complexes obtained in single crystal form was obtained by observing the changes in the characteristic peaks of the 3AP with the [Zn(μ₄-CN)₄]^2- and [Cd(μ₄-CN)₄]^2- structures that make up these complexes. The behaviors of these complexes against changes in temperature were obtained by examining the temperature-dependent changes of their mass. The asymmetric unit of the heterometallic complexes 1 and 2 consist of half Cd(II) ion, half M ion [M = Zn1 in 1 and Cd2 in 2], two cyanide ligands and one 3AP.     

Spectroscopic and thermal properties of short wavelength metal (II) complexes containing alpha-isoxazolylazo-beta-diketones as co-ligands

Two new azo dyes of alpha-isoxazolylazo-beta-diketones and their Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with blue-violet light wavelength were synthesized using a coupling component, different diazo components and metal (II) ions (Ni2+ and Cu2+). Based on the elemental analysis, MS spectra and FT-IR spectral analyses, azo dyes were unequivocally shown to exist as hydrazoketo and azoenol forms which were respectively obtained from the solution forms and from the solid forms. The action of sodium methoxide (NaOMe) on azo dyes in solutions converts hydrazoketo form into azoenol form, so azo dyes are coordinated with metal (II) ions as co-ligands in the azoenol forms. The solubility of all the compounds in common organic solvents such as 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propanol (TFP) or chloroform (CHCl3) and absorption properties of spin-coating thin films were measured. The difference of absorption maxima from the complexes to their ligands was discussed. In addition, the TG analysis of the complexes was also determined, and their thermal stability was evaluated. It is found that these new metal (II) complexes had potential application for high-density digital versatile disc-recordable (HD-DVD-R) system due to their good solubility in organic solvents, reasonable and controllable absorption spectra in blue-violet light region and high thermal stability.     

Preparation,characterization and crystal structures of metal(II) tetraza macrocyclic complexes with organic co-ligands

The complexes [Ni(L1)(pyc)₂]·2H₂O (1) (L1 = C-meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; Hpyc = pyrazinecarboxylic acid) and [Cu(L2)(H-cpdc)] (2) (L2 = 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[14,4,0^1.18,0^7.12]docosane; H₂-cpdc = cyclopropanedicarboxylic acid) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The crystal structure of complex 1 shows a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the nickel(II) center, with four secondary amines in the equatorial positions and two nitrogen atoms of the pyc^? ligands in the trans positions. In complex 2, the coordination environment around the copper(II) center is a Jahn–Teller distorted octahedron with four Cu–N bonds and two axial Cu–O bonds. The electronic spectra, electrochemical and TGA behavior of the complexes are significantly affected by the nature of the axial pyc^? and H-cpdc^? ligands.     

Syntheses,characterization and thermal properties of lanthanide complexes with 2-mercaptonicotinic acid

Fourteen new complexes with the general formula of Ln(Hmna)₃·nH₂O (n=2 for Ln=La-Ho and n=1 for Er-Lu, H₂mna=2-mercaptonicotinic acid) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermogravimetric analyses. In addition, molar specific heat capacities were determined by a microcalorimeter at 298.15 K. The IR spectra of the prepared complexes revealed that carboxyl groups of the ligands coordinated with Ln(III) ions in bidentate chelating mode. Hydrated complexes lost water molecules during heating in one step and then the anhydrous complexes decomposed directly to oxides Ln₂O₃, CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁ and Tb₄O₇. The values of molar specific heat capacities for fourteen solid complexes were plotted against the atomic numbers of lanthanide, which presented as ‘tripartite effect’. It suggested a certain amount of covalent character existed in the bond of Ln³⁺ and ligands, according with nephelauxetic effect of 4f electrons of rare earth ions.

Syntheses,crystal structures and characterization of divalent transition metal sulfonate complexes with O-phenanthroline

Two new complexes, [Zn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]2L·H₂O (1) and [Cu(phen)(L)(H₂O)₂]L·3H₂O (2), where HL?= 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid and phen = o-phenanthroline, have been synthesized and their crystal structures determined by X-ray diffraction. In the complexes the Cu(II) and Zn(II) atoms revealed two different coordination environments. Complex 1 consists of a cation [Zn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺, in which Zn(II) is six-coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from two o-phenanthroline molecules and by two water molecules. Complex 2 has two crystallographically unique Cu(II) ions, where Cu(II) ion is five-coordinate with two nitrogen atoms of o-phenanthroline, two water molecules and one sulfonate oxygen atom. The electrochemical behavior and FT-IR of the two compounds have also been studied in detail.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization,electrochemical behaviour and thermal decomposition studies of some transition metal complexes with an azo derivative

Complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) with a novel heterocyclic azo derivative, formed by coupling diazotized 2-amino-3-carbethoxy-4,5-dimethylthiophene with acetylacetone were synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, UV–vis, IR, ¹H NMR and EPR spectral data. Spectral studies revealed that the ligand existed in an internally hydrogen bonded azo-enol form rather than the keto-hydrazone form and coordinated to the metal ion in a tridentate fashion. Analytical data revealed that all the complexes exhibited 1:1 metal–ligand ratio. On the basis of electronic spectral data and magnetic susceptibility measurements, suitable geometry was proposed for each complex. The nickel(II) complex has undergone facile transesterification reaction when refluxed in methanol for a long period. The ligand and the copper(II) complex were subjected to X-ray diffraction study. The electrochemical behaviour of copper(II) complex was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The thermal behaviour of the same complex was also examined by thermogravimetry.     

Mixed benzohydroxamato-acetylacetonato metal complexes: spectral,thermal and photochemical behaviour

Summary Bis(acetylacetonato)VO^II,–Co^II,–Ni^II,–Cu^II,–Zn^II, –UO ₂ ^II and tris(acetylacetonato)Fe^III react with benzohydroxamic acid to yield the corresponding mixed ligand complexes as a result of displacement of one acetylacetone molecule. Intermolecular association may be the reason for six-coordination geometry around the metal ions. A t.g.a. study of the complexes shows, in most cases, initial loss of alcohol and water molecules associated with the complexes; subsequent decomposition steps are characterised by very sharp weight loss. The photochemical stability of the complexes has been studied. Intraligand excitation causes a decomposition in the case of Fe^III and VO^II-complexes but no detectable effect for Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II, or UO ₂ ^II -complexes.

The infrared spectra are discussed, particularly the metal-halogen and metal-ligand vibrations. Thermal decomposition was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG).     

Syntheses, spectroscopic characterization and thermal behavior on novel binuclear transition metal complexes of hydrazones derived from 4,6-diacetylresorcinol and oxalyldihydrazine

4,6-Diacetylresorcinol (DAR) serves as precursor for the formation of different hydrazone ligands, which are di-, tetra- or hexa-basic with two symmetrical sets of O(2)N tridentate, O(2)N(2) tetradentate or O(4)N(2) hexadentate chelating sites. The condensation of 4,6-diacetylresorcinol (DAR) with oxalyldihydrazine (ODH), in the molar ratio 1:1 and 1:2, yields the corresponding hydrazone, H(6)L(a) and H(4)L(b), ligands, respectively. The structures of these ligands were elucidated by elemental analyses and IR, mass, (1)H NMR and UV-vis spectra. Reactions of the hydrazone ligands with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II), cadmium(II), iron(III) and chromium(III) ions in 1:2 molar ratio afforded the corresponding transition metal complexes. A variety of binuclear transition metal complexes were obtained in its di-, tetra- or hexa-deprotonated forms. The structures of the newly prepared complexes were identified by elemental analyses and IR, UV-vis, mass, (1)H NMR and ESR spectra, as well as, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The bonding sites are the azomethine and CO oxygen atoms in either keto or enol forms and amino nitrogen atoms, and phenolic oxygen atoms. The metal complexes exhibit different geometrical structures such as tetrahedral and octahedral arrangements.     

Syntheses,characterization and thermal properties of the lanthanide complexes with 2-mercaptonicotinic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Fourteen new complexes with the general formula of Ln(Hmna)₃(phen) (H₂mna = 2-mercaptonicotinic acid and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermogravimetric analyses. In addition, molar specific heat capacities were determined by a microcalorimeter at 298.15 K. The IR spectra of the complexes showed that the Ln³⁺ coordinated with the oxygen atoms of H₂mna and the nitrogen atoms of phen. The complexes decomposed directly to oxides Ln₂O₃, CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁, and Tb₄O₇ in one step. The values of molar specific heat capacities for fourteen solid complexes were plotted against the atomic numbers of lanthanide, which presented as “tripartite effect”. It suggested a certain amount of covalent character existed in the bond of Ln³⁺ and ligands, according with nephelauxetic effect of 4f electrons of rare earth ions. The article is published in the original.     

Preparation, characterization and thermal studies of some transition metal ternary complexes

Ternary complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with nitrilotriacetic acid as a primary ligand and glycine as secondary ligand were prepared in slightly acid medium. Their molecular masses were determined by acid-base titration against standard potassium hydroxide solution. Their molecular structures were found to be [M (HNTA)(glyH)(2H₂O)]. Thermogravimetric analysis confirmed this structure and that the water present is coordinated to the central metal atom. UV-Vis spectra showed that the complexes have octahedral symmetry. IR spectra suggested the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This phenomenon was supported by mass spectra. The ionization constants of these complexes, as diprotic acids, were determined.     

Synthesis, characterization and thermal behaviour of new copper and rare-earth metal tungstates

Three series of new copper and rare-earth metal tungstates with the formulas: CuRE ₂W₂O₁₀ (RE = Nd, Sm, Eu) and Cu₃ RE ₂W₄O₁₈ (RE = Sm, Eu or RE = Dy, Ho, Er) were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The CuRE ₂W₂O₁₀ and Cu₃ RE ₂W₄O₁₈ (RE = Dy, Ho, Er) compounds crystallize in the monoclinic system. The Cu₃ RE ₂W₄O₁₈ phases with the large rare-earth ions crystallize in the triclinic system. All obtained compounds melt incongruently below 1273 K. The anion lattice of the Cu₃ RE ₂W₄O₁₈ phases is built from isolated groups of octahedra (W₄O₁₆)^8?, while CuRE ₂W₂O₁₀ from WO₆ octahedra forming structural elements [(W₂O₉)^6?]^∞. The EPR spectra of analyzed compounds consisted of an intense line originating generally from the rare-earth ions and a weak, narrow line from Cu²⁺ separate centers appearing only on the surface of the grains. The absence of bulk copper in the EPR spectrum is probably due to a very short relaxation time of the Cu²⁺ subsystem.     

Syntheses and structural characterization of silver(I) complexes with pyridine and carboxylate derivatives

Self-assembly between silver carboxylates with 2-aminopyridine derivatives give two silver(I) complexes, [[Ag(5MP)₂(CNB)] · NH₃ (I) and [Ag(3MP)₂(HMB)] (II), where 5MP, CNB, 3MP, and HMB represent 2-amin-5-methylpyridine, 5-chloro-2-nitrobenzoate, 2-amino-3-methylpyridine, and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate, respectively. The crystal structures of the complexes were investigated. The Ag atom in each complex is coordinated by two pyridine N atoms and weakly coordinated by a carboxylic O atom. The crystal of I is triclinic: space group P $ \bar 1 $ , a = 7.562(2), b = 11.708(3), c = 12.933(3) Å, α = 103.378(4)°, β = 93.910(4)°, γ = 99.001(4)°, V = 1093.7(5) ų, Z = 2. The crystal of II is monoclinic: space group C2/c, a = 25.727(5), b = 10.274(2), c = 19.872(4) Å, β = 126.62(3)°, V = 4215.7(15) ų, Z = 4.     

Syntheses, structural properties, and charge-transfer complexes of pyrenophanes

Dithia[3.3](4,9)benzenopyrenophanes carrying various functional groups at the inner position or the outer position of the benzene ring have been prepared. The pyrenophanes with the substituent at the inner position of the opposite benzene ring exhibit the conformation in which the pyrene and the benzene components exist in the parallel manner (parallel conformation). On the contrary the conformation characterized by the perpendicular orientation of the pyrene and the benzene components has been confirmed for the pyrenophanes having the substituent at the outer position of the opposite benzene ring (perpendicular conformation). The NH-pi interaction between the inner amino group on the opposite benzene ring and the pyrene ring was observed. Formation of charge-transfer complexes of the pyrenophanes and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) was performed. It has been found out that the orientation of two aromatic components and the NH-pi interaction as well as the electronic nature of the substituent on the opposite benzene ring significantly affect characteristics of the charge-transfer complexes in this pyrenophane system.     

Synthesis, structural characterization and antimicrobial activity evaluation of metal complexes of sparfloxacin

The synthesis and characterization of binary Cu(II)- (1), Co(II)- (2), Ni(II)- (3), Mn(II)- (4), Cr(III)- (5), Fe(III)- (6), La(III)- (7), UO₂(VI)- (8) complexes with sparfloxacin (HL₁) and ternary Cu(II)- (9), Co(II)- (10), Ni(II)- (11), Mn(II)- (12), Cr(III)- (13), Fe(III)- (14), La(III)- (15), UO₂(VI)- (16) complexes with sparfloxacin (HL₁) and dl-alanine (H₂L₂) complexes are reported using elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, IR, UV–Vis, thermal analysis and ¹H-NMR spectral studies.The molar conductance measurements of all the complexes in DMF solution correspond to non-electrolytic nature.All complexes were of the high-spin type and found to have six-coordinate octahedral geometry except the Cu(II) complexes which were four coordinate, square planar and U- and La-atoms in the uranyl and lanthanide have a pentagonal bipyramidal coordination sphere. The antimicrobial activity of these complexes has been screened against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria. Antifungal activity against two different fungi has been evaluated and compared with reference drug sparfloxacin. All the binary and ternary complexes showed remarkable potential antimicrobial activity higher than the recommended standard agents. Ni(II)- and Mn(II) complexes exhibited higher potency as compared to the parent drug against Gram-negative bacteria.     

Preparation,structural and thermal characterization of cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes with 3-hydroxypicolinamide

Cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes of 3-hydroxypicolinamide (3-OHpia), namely [Co(3-OHpia)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ (1), [Co(3-Opia)₂(H₂O)₂] (2) and [Cu(3-OHpia)₂(NO₃)₂] (3), were prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy and TG/DTA methods. The molecular and crystal structures of 1 and 3 were determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Complexes 1 and 3 were obtained by reaction of 3-hydroxypicolinamide with cobalt(II) nitrate or copper(II) nitrate, respectively, in a mixture of ethanol and water. Complex 2 was prepared by reaction of cobalt(II) acetate and 3-OHpia in aqueous solution. X-ray structural analysis revealed octahedral coordination polyhedra in both 1 and 3 and the same N,O-chelated coordination mode of 3-OHpia. The coordination sphere of the cobalt(II) center in 1 is completed by two coordinated water ligands and that of the copper(II) center in 3 by two coordinated nitrate anions. There are also two uncoordinated nitrate ions in 1 which compensate the positive charge of cobalt(II). The crystal structures of 1 and 3 are dominated by intermolecular O–H···O and N–H···O hydrogen bonds. The thermogravimetric study indicated the loss of two coordinated water molecules in 1 and 2 and of one 3-OHpia ligand together with N₂ molecule in 3 at lower temperatures (up to 300 °C).
