Spectrothermal studies of 1,10-phenanthroline complexes of Co(II), NI(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) orotates

The 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) orotates were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, spectral methods (UV-vis and FTIR) and thermal analysis techniques (TG, DTG and DTA). The Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions in diaquabis(1,10-phenanthroline)metal(II) diorotate octahedral complexes [M(H₂O)₂(phen)₂](H₂Or)₂·nH₂O (M=Co(II), n=2.25; Ni(II), n=3; Cu(II) and Cd(II), n=2) are coordinated by two aqua ligands and two moles of phen molecules as chelating ligands through their two nitrogen atoms. The monoanionic orotate behaves as a counter ion in the complexes. On the basis of the first DTG_max, the thermal stability of the hydrated complexes follows the order: Cd(II), 68°C 68°C     

Asymmetric Schiff Base (N 2 O 3 ) Complexes as Ligands Towards Mn(II), Fe(III) and Co(II), Synthesis and Characterization

Heterobi- and tri-nuclear complexes [LMM'Cl] and [(LM) 2 M'](M=Ni or Cu and M'=Mn, Fe or Co) have been synthesised. The heteronuclear complexes were prepared by stepwise reactions using two mononuclear Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of the general formula [HLM]·1/2H 2 O, as ligands towards the metal ions, Mn(II), Fe(III) and Co(II). The asymmetrical pentadentate (N 2 O 3 ) Schiff-base ligands used were prepared by condensing acetoacetylphenol and ethylenediamine, molar ratio 1 1, to yield a half-unit compound which was further condensed with either salicylaldehyde or naphthaldehyde to yield the ligands H 3 L 1 and H 3 L 2 which possess two dissimilar coordination sites, an inner four-coordinate N 2 O 2 donor set and an outer three-coordinated O 2 O set. 1 H NMR and IR spectra indicate that the Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions are bonded to the inner N 2 O 2 sites of the ligands leaving their outer O 2 O sites vacant for further coordination. Different types of products were obtained according to the type of metal ion. These products differ in stoichiometry according to the type of ligand in the parent compound. Electronic spectra and magnetic moments indicate that the structures of the parent Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes are square-planar while the geometry around Fe(III), Mn(II) and Co(II) in their products are octahedral as elucidated from IR, UV-visible, ESR, 1 H NMR, mass spectrometry and magnetic moments.     

Hexacyanocobaltate(III) anions as precursors of Co(II)-Ni(II) cyano-bridged multidimensional assemblies: hydrothermal syntheses, crystal and powder X-ray structures, and magnetic properties

Three novel cyanide-bridged heterobimetallic coordination polymers have been synthesized by hydrothermal routes, in superheated water solutions, by using K3[Co(CN)6], NiCl2.6H2O, and alpha-diimine ligands: [Ni(CN)4Co(phen)] (1; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), [Ni(CN)4Co(2,2'-bipy)] (2; 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyiridine), and [Ni(CN)4Co(2,2'-bipy)2] (3). The isostructural compounds 1 and 2 contain a two-dimensional network with Co(II) centers octahedrally coordinated by one chelating 2,2'-bipy ligand and four cyanide groups of four distinct [Ni(CN)4]2-, through crystallographically equivalent, bridging units. Compound 3 contains one-dimensional zigzag chains in which the Co(II) ion is coordinated by two chelating 2,2'-bipy ligands and two cyanides from two different [Ni(CN)4]2- units cis to each other. These compounds have been fully characterized by single-crystal or unconventional powder X-ray diffraction analyses and variable-temperature magnetic measurements.

A Self-assembled T4（2）5（2） Water Tape Stabilized by a Nickel（II） Complex with L-cysteic Acid

An interesting T4(2)5(2) water tape formed by fused cyclic water pentamers and tetramer was self-assembled in a new inorganic host [Ni(L)(phen)2]·5H2O (L = L-cysteic acid) and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Each [Ni(L)(phen)2] molecule crystallizes with five water molecules with a molecular formula of [Ni(L)(phen)2]·5H2O. The T4(2)5(2) water tape and [Ni(L)(phen)2] molecules assemble into a network of water tapes sandwiched between [Ni(L)- (phen)2] tapes. The network is stabilized by π-π stacking between [Ni(L)(phen)2] molecules and three types of hydrogen-bonding interactions between [Ni(L)(phen)2] molecules, water molecules, and water and [Ni(L)(phen)2] molecules.     

Synthesis of 1,3– and 1,4–bis[bis(3–aminopropyl)aminomethyl]benzene and potentiometric determination of the formation constants of their complexes with copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II)

The synthesis and characterisation of the title ligands (MXBDP and PXBDP) are described. The successive protonation constants (log Kn) are: for MXBDP, 10.77, 10.44, 9.82, 8.88, 3.19 and 1.48; for PXBDP, 10.94, 10.58, 9.90, 9.38, 3.37 and 2.27 (n=16).

[Ni₂(phen)₂(H₂O)₂L₂]·4H₂O is a binuclear complex which is assembled into a 3D supramolecular structure by strong hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions. Both complexes were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods.

Novel manganese(II) sulfonate-phosphonates with dinuclear, tetranuclear, and hexanuclear clusters

Hydrothermal reactions of manganese(II) salts with m-sulfophenylphosphonic acid (m-HO3S-Ph-PO3H2, H3L) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) led to six novel manganese(II) sulfonate-phosphonates, namely, [Mn2(HL)2(phen)4][Mn2(HL)2(phen)4(H2O)](2).6H2O (1), [Mn4(L)2(phen)8(H2O)2][ClO4](2).3H2O (2), [Mn(phen)(H2O)4]2[Mn4(L)4(phen)4].10H2O (3), [Mn6(L)4(phen)8(H2O)2].4H2O (4), [Mn6(L)4(phen)8(H2O)2].24H2O (5), and [Mn6(L)4(phen)6(H2O)4].5H2O (6). The structure of 1 contains two types of dinuclear manganese(II) clusters, and 2-3 exhibit two types of tetranuclear manganese(II) cluster units. 4-5 feature two different types of isolated hexanuclear manganese(II) clusters, whereas the hexanuclear manganese(II) clusters in 6 are bridged by sulfonate-phosphonate ligands into a 1D chain. Magnetic property measurements indicate that there exist weak antiferromagnetic interactions between magnetic centers in all six compounds.     

Spectrothermal studies on Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) salicylato (1,10-phenanthroline) complexes

The cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc atoms in bis(1,10-phenanthroline)bis(salicylato-O)metal(II) monomeric octahedral complexes [M(Hsal)₂(phen)₂]·nH₂O, (M: Co(II), n=1; Cu(II), n=1.5 and Ni(II), Zn(II), n=2) are coordinated by the salicylato monoanion (Hsal) through the carboxyl oxygen in a monodentate fashion and by the 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) molecule through the two amine nitrogen atoms in a bidentate chelating manner. On the basis of the DTG_max, the thermal stability of the hydrated complexes follows order: Ni(II) (149°C)>Co(II) (134°C)>Zn(II) (132°C)>Cu(II) (68°C) in static air atmosphere. In the second stage, the pyrolysis of the anhydrous complexes takes place. The third stage of decomposition is associated with a strong exothermic oxidation process (DTA curves: 410, 453, 500 and 450°C for the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes, respectively). The final decomposition products, namely CoO, NiO, CuO and ZnO, were identified by IR spectroscopy. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis,spectral properties,in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and quantum chemical calculations of novel mixed-ligand M(II) complexes containing 1,10-phenanthroline

A series of mixed-ligand M(II) complexes containing 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 3-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (3-mpaH) or 6-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (6-mpaH), namely [Co(3-mpa)₂(phen)]·3H₂O ( 1 ), [Hg(6-mpa)₂(phen)]·2H₂O ( 2 ), [Mn(6-mpa)₂(phen)]·2H₂O ( 3 ), [Co(6-mpa)₂(phen)]·H₂O ( 4 ) and [Ni(6-mpa)₂(phen)]·H₂O ( 5 ), were synthesized for the first time. Among them, 1 was obtained as single crystals. The structural characterization for 1 was conducted using X-ray diffraction and that for 2 – 5 using mass spectrometry. The IC₅₀ values for α-glucosidase inhibition of 1 – 5 were obtained as 0.161 to >600 μM. The spectral properties were also investigated using Fourier transform infrared and UV–visible spectra. Furthermore, to investigate the geometrical parameters, spectral and electronic properties and second- and third-order nonlinear optical parameters for 1 – 5 , density functional calculations were applied.     

Theoretical insights into the ferromagnetic coupling in oxalato-bridged chromium(III)-cobalt(II) and chromium(III)-manganese(II) dinuclear complexes with aromatic diimine ligands

Two novel heterobimetallic complexes of formula [Cr(bpy)(ox)(2)Co(Me(2)phen)(H(2)O)(2)][Cr(bpy)(ox)(2)]·4H(2)O (1) and [Cr(phen)(ox)(2)Mn(phen)(H(2)O)(2)][Cr(phen)(ox)(2)]·H(2)O (2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, and Me(2)phen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) have been obtained through the "complex-as-ligand/complex-as-metal" strategy by using Ph(4)P[CrL(ox)(2)]·H(2)O (L = bpy and phen) and [ML'(H(2)O)(4)](NO(3))(2) (M = Co and Mn; L' = phen and Me(2)phen) as precursors. The X-ray crystal structures of 1 and 2 consist of bis(oxalato)chromate(III) mononuclear anions, [Cr(III)L(ox)(2)](-), and oxalato-bridged chromium(III)-cobalt(II) and chromium(III)-manganese(II) dinuclear cations, [Cr(III)L(ox)(μ-ox)M(II)L'(H(2)O)(2)](+)[M = Co, L = bpy, and L' = Me(2)phen (1); M = Mn and L = L' = phen (2)]. These oxalato-bridged Cr(III)M(II) dinuclear cationic entities of 1 and 2 result from the coordination of a [Cr(III)L(ox)(2)](-) unit through one of its two oxalato groups toward a [M(II)L'(H(2)O)(2)](2+) moiety with either a trans- (M = Co) or a cis-diaqua (M = Mn) configuration. The two distinct Cr(III) ions in 1 and 2 adopt a similar trigonally compressed octahedral geometry, while the high-spin M(II) ions exhibit an axially (M = Co) or trigonally compressed (M = Mn) octahedral geometry in 1 and 2, respectively. Variable temperature (2.0-300 K) magnetic susceptibility and variable-field (0-5.0 T) magnetization measurements for 1 and 2 reveal the presence of weak intramolecular ferromagnetic interactions between the Cr(III) (S(Cr) = 3/2) ion and the high-spin Co(II) (S(Co) = 3/2) or Mn(II) (S(Mn) = 5/2) ions across the oxalato bridge within the Cr(III)M(II) dinuclear cationic entities (M = Co and Mn) [J = +2.2 (1) and +1.2 cm(-1) (2); H = -JS(Cr)·S(M)]. Density functional electronic structure calculations for 1 and 2 support the occurrence of S = 3 Cr(III)Co(II) and S = 4 Cr(III)Mn(II) ground spin states, respectively. A simple molecular orbital analysis of the electron exchange mechanism suggests a subtle competition between individual ferro- and antiferromagnetic contributions through the σ- and/or π-type pathways of the oxalato bridge, mainly involving the d(yz)(Cr)/d(xy)(M), d(xz)(Cr)/d(xy)(M), d(x(2)-y(2))(Cr)/d(xy)(M), d(yz)(Cr)/d(xz)(M), and d(xz)(Cr)/d(yz)(M) pairs of orthogonal magnetic orbitals and the d(x(2)-y(2))(Cr)/d(x(2)-y(2))(M), d(xz)(Cr)/d(xz)(M), and d(yz)(Cr)/d(yz)(M) pairs of nonorthogonal magnetic orbitals, which would be ultimately responsible for the relative magnitude of the overall ferromagnetic coupling in 1 and 2.     

Di- and tetra-nuclear copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II) complexes of four bis-tetradentate triazole-based ligands: synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties

Four bis-tetradentate N(4)-substituted-3,5-{bis[bis-N-(2-pyridinemethyl)]aminomethyl}-4H-1,2,4-triazole ligands, L(Tz1)-L(Tz4), differing only in the triazole N(4) substituent R (where R is amino, pyrrolyl, phenyl, or 4-tertbutylphenyl, respectively) have been synthesized, characterized, and reacted with M(II)(BF(4))(2)·6H(2)O (M(II) = Cu, Ni or Co) and Co(SCN)(2). Experiments using all 16 possible combinations of metal salt and L(TzR) were carried out: 14 pure complexes were obtained, 11 of which are dinuclear, while the other three are tetranuclear. The dinuclear complexes include two copper(II) complexes, [Cu(II)(2)(L(Tz2))(H(2)O)(4)](BF(4))(4) (2), [Cu(II)(2)(L(Tz4))(BF(4))(2)](BF(4))(2) (4); two nickel(II) complexes, [Ni(II)(2)(L(Tz1))(H(2)O)(3)(CH(3)CN)](BF(4))(4)·0.5(CH(3)CN) (5) and [Ni(II)(2)(L(Tz4))(H(2)O)(4)](BF(4))(4)·H(2)O (8); and seven cobalt(II) complexes, [Co(II)(2)(L(Tz1))(μ-BF(4))](BF(4))(3)·H(2)O (9), [Co(II)(2)(L(Tz2))(μ-BF(4))](BF(4))(3)·2H(2)O (10), [Co(II)(2)(L(Tz3))(H(2)O)(2)](BF(4))(4) (11), [Co(II)(2)(L(Tz4))(μ-BF(4))](BF(4))(3)·3H(2)O (12), [Co(II)(2)(L(Tz1))(SCN)(4)]·3H(2)O (13), [Co(II)(2)(L(Tz2))(SCN)(4)]·2H(2)O (14), and [Co(II)(2)(L(Tz3))(SCN)(4)]·H(2)O (15). The tetranuclear complexes are [Cu(II)(4)(L(Tz1))(2)(H(2)O)(2)(BF(4))(2)](BF(4))(6) (1), [Cu(II)(4)(L(Tz3))(2)(H(2)O)(2)(μ-F)(2)](BF(4))(6)·0.5H(2)O (3), and [Ni(II)(4)(L(Tz3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)(μ-F(2))](BF(4))(6)·6.5H(2)O (7). Single crystal X-ray structure determinations revealed different solvent content from that found by microanalysis of the bulk sample after drying under a vacuum and confirmed that 5', 8', 9', 11', 12', and 15' are dinuclear while 1' and 7' are tetranuclear. As expected, magnetic measurements showed that weak antiferromagnetic intracomplex interactions are present in 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8, stabilizing a singlet spin ground state. All seven of the dinuclear cobalt(II) complexes, 9-15, have similar magnetic behavior and remain in the [HS-HS] state between 300 and 1.8 K.     

A tetradentate bisoxime and its supramolecular nickel(II) cluster: synthesis,crystal structure,and spectral properties

Salen-type bisoxime 5,5′-dimethoxy-2,2′-[(ethylenedioxy)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol (H₂L) and its trinuclear Ni(II) cluster {[(NiL)(n-BuOH)]₂(μ-OAc)₂Ni}?·?n-BuOH have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The structure of H₂L adopts an L-shape conformation where the two salicylaldoxime moieties are well separated. In the trinuclear Ni(II) cluster, two acetates coordinate to three Ni(II)'s through Ni–O–C–O–Ni bridges, four μ-phenoxos from two [NiL(n-BuOH)] units also coordinate to Ni(II), and two n-butanols coordinate to two terminal Ni(II)'s forming a distorted octahedral geometry. The Ni–O–C–O–Ni and μ-phenoxo bridges play important roles in assembling Ni(II) and the ligands. H₂L forms a rectangle-like large cave structure through O–H?···?N, C–H?···?O, and C–H?···?π hydrogen-bond interactions, whereas its trinuclear Ni(II) cluster exhibits a 3-D supramolecular network structure through intermolecular O–H?···?O, C–H?···?O, and C–H?···?π hydrogen-bond interactions.     

Three new binuclear copper(II) complexes with isonicotinic acid N-oxide: syntheses,crystal structures and properties

Three new copper(II) complexes with isonicotinic acid N-oxide (HL) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as ligands, [Cu(L)(phen)(H₂O)]₂(NO₃)₂···2H₂O (1), [Cu(L)(phen)(H₂O)]₂(ClO₄)₂···2H₂O (2), and [Cu(L)(phen)Br]₂- [Cu(L)(phen)(H₂O)]₂Br₂···6H₂O (3) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The structures of all three complexes feature a Cu₂ dimer formed by two Cu(II) ions interconnected by two bridging ligands. Each copper(II) ion has a distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry with elongated axial coordination by an aqua ligand or halogen anion. The isonicotinic acid N-oxide anion is bidentate, being coordinated to two Cu(II) ions through its N-O oxygen and one of its carboxylate oxygen atoms. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show a Curie–Weiss paramagnetic behavior characteristic of one unpaired electron for a copper(II) ion for all three complexes.
