Luminescent properties of 2a and 2b in solution and the solid state were studied.

Two hexanuclear zinc(II) complexes, [Zn₆(L¹)₂(μ₂-OH)₂(μ₂-CH₃COO)₈] · CH₃CN (1 · CH₃CN) and [Zn₆(L²)₂(μ₂-OH)₂(μ₂-CH₃COO)₈] · 4CH₃CN (2 · 4CH₃CN), where HL¹ = 4-methyl-2,6-bis(cyclohexylmethyliminomethyl)-phenol and HL² = 4-methyl-2,6-bis(1-naphthalylmethyliminomethyl)-phenol, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and fluorescence spectroscopic methods, and by X-ray diffraction analysis.

The structural analysis revealed that all the three complexes 1–3 have five-coordinated trigonal bipyramid geometry where the degree of distorting is 1>3>2. In vitro antioxidant activity assay demonstrates that the complexes 1 and 3 display high scavenging activity against hydroxyl (OH·) and superoxide (O₂^−·) radicals.

Synthesis,thermal, spectral and biological properties of zinc(II) 4-hydroxybenzoate complexes

New zinc(II) 4-hydroxybenzoate complex compounds with general formula [Zn(4-OHbenz)₂L_n]·xH₂O, where 4-OHbenz = 4-hydroxybenzoate; L = isonicotinamide, N-methylnicotinamide, N,N-diethylnicotinamide, thiourea, urea, phenazone, theophylline, methyl-3-pyridylcarbamate; n = 2, 3; x = 0–3, 5, were synthesized and characterised by elemental analysis, thermal analysis and IR spectroscopy. The thermal behaviour of the prepared compounds was studied by TG/DTG and DTA methods in argon atmosphere. The thermal decomposition of hydrated compounds started with dehydration. During the thermal decomposition, organic ligand, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and phenol were evolved. The final solid product of the thermal decomposition was zinc or zinc oxide. The volatile gaseous product, solid intermediate products and the final product of thermal decomposition were identified by IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, qualitative chemical analyses and X-ray powder diffraction method. The antimicrobial activity of zinc(II) carboxylate compounds was tested against various strains of bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi (S. aureus, E. coli, C. parapsilosis, R. oryzae, A. alternata, M. gypseum). The presence of zinc in complexes led to the increase in their antimicrobial activity in comparison with free 4-hydroxybenzoic acid.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and fluorescence properties of two dinuclear zinc(II) complexes incorporating tridentate (NNO) Schiff bases

Reactions of hydrated zinc(II) trifluoroacetate and sodium azide with two tridentate Schiff bases HL¹ (2-((E)-(2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)-4-chlorophenol) and HL² (2-((E)-(2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)-4-bromophenol) under the same reaction conditions yielded two dinuclear isostructural zinc(II) complexes, [Zn(L¹)(N₃)]₂ (1) and [Zn(L²)(N₃)]₂ (2), respectively. The complexes were characterized systematically by elemental analysis, UV–Vis, FT-IR, and ¹H NMR spectroscopic methods. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that each of the dinuclear complexes consists of two crystallographically independent zinc(II) ions connected by double bridging phenoxides. All zinc(II) ions in 1 and 2 are surrounded by similar donor sets and display distorted square–pyramidal coordination geometries. The ligands and complexes reveal intraligand ¹(π → π*) flourescence. The enhancement of the fluorescence intensities for the complexes compared to the ligands indicates their potential to serve as photoactive materials.

Synthesis of four different types of ligands Ar[COC(NOH)R] _n (Ar = biphenyl, n = 1, HL¹; Ar = biphenyl, n = 2, H₂L²; Ar = diphenylmethane, n = 1, HL³; Ar = diphenylmethane, n = 2, H₂L⁴; R = furfurylamine in all ligands) and their dinuclear Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Zn²⁺ complexes is reported herein. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ICP-OES, FT-IR spectra, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The ligands were further characterized by ¹H NMR. The results suggest that dinuclear complexes of HL¹ and HL³ have a metal to ligand mole ratio of 2: 2 and dinuclear complexes H₂L² and H₂L⁴ have a metal to ligand mole ratio of 2: 1. Square pyramidal or octahedral structures are proposed for complexes of oxime ligands. Furthermore, extraction abilities of the four ligands were also evaluated in chloroform using selected transition metal picrates such as Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺. The ligands show strong binding ability towards Hg²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions.

New trinuclear carbonato-bridged copper(II) complexes: Synthesis,crystal structure,and spectroscopic properties

New trinuclear carbonato-bridged copper(II) complexes, [Cu₃(Bipy)₆(μ₃-CO₃)](CF₃SO₃)₄(H₂O)_0.5 (I) and [Cu₃(Phen)₆(μ₃-CO₃)](CF₃SO₃)₄(H₂O)_0.5 (II) (Bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine and Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. In the trinuclear units, a carbonate anion triply bridges three Cu atoms in a μ₃-η¹:η¹:η¹-CO₃ mode. The environment around each copper(II) center is five-coordinate ranging between intermediate to distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal packing, the molecule of I is involved in a variety of intra/intermolecular non-covalent interactions such as intra/intermolecular stacking and CH···π interactions between the pyridine groups of the chelated ligand, leading to a one-dimensional arrangement of I. In complex II, the molecule is involved in both intra- and intermolecular Phen-Phen π-stacking, forming a three-dimensional network. The spectroscopic (IR, diffuse reflectance, and EPR spectra) properties and the preliminary results of magnetic measurements of both complexes are investigated and compared to other closely related trinuclear copper(II) complexes.

Copper(II) complexes containing a CuN4O2 coordination sphere assembled via pyridine-imine-amide coordination: Synthesis,structure and properties

Copper(II) complexes [CuL₂] of pyridine-N, imine-N and amide-O donor Schiff bases (HL) are reported. The Schiff bases Hpabh, Hpamh and Hpadh were prepared by condensation of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with benzhydrazide, 4-methoxybenzhydrazide and 4-dimethylaminobenzhydrazide, respectively. The complexes were synthesised in MeOH media by reacting Cu(OAc)₂ · H₂O with HL in a 1:2 mole ratio. The X-ray structure of [Cu(pabh)₂] was determined. The rhombically distorted octahedral CuN₄O₂ coordination sphere is formed by two mononegative meridionally spanning pyridine-N, imine-N and deprotonated amide-O donor ligands. Electronic spectra of the complexes display two d–d bands at ca. 700 and ca. 1300 nm and two strong absorptions due to charge transfer transitions in the 450–268 nm range. Room temperature (298 K) solid state magnetic moments (1.90–2.08 _B) suggest an S = 1/2 spin state in each complex. The powder e.p.r. spectra of [Cu(pabh)₂] and [Cu(pamh)₂] at room temperature are consistent with a rhombic distortion of the N₄O₂ octahedron around the metal centre. However the spectrum of [Cu(padh)₂] suggests a tetragonal elongation of the CuN₄O₂ octahedron.
