Relative stabilities of metal complexes of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol and 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol

The stability constants of 1:1 complexes of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) and 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (TAR) with Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been determined spectrophotometrically at μ = 0.1 and 25°C. The method is based on indirect estimation of the protonated and normal complexes by measuring the ligand absorption peak. Both protonated and normal complexes of these metals with PAR are more stable than those with TAR. The reverse order was previously observed for the pronated complexes of the lanthanides(III). The different behaviour of the 3d transition metals(II) compared to the lanthanides(III) is discussed. The proton dissociation constants of the protonated complexes of PAR or TAR with various metals are also discussed.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of indomethacin-Cd(II), Ce(III), and Th(IV) complexes: IR, 1H NMR,thermal, and biological studies

Solid complexes have been prepared and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis, and ¹H NMR. Indomethacin forms complexes with Cd(II), Ce(III), and Th(IV) ions in molar ratios (ligand: metal) (2: 1), (3: 1), and (4: 1), respectively. The IR spectra of the complexes suggest that the Indomethacin behaves as a monobasic monodentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the deprotonated carboxylate group. Prepared complexes exhibit higher antimicrobial activity against several microorganisms, compared to free ligand.     

A study on the adsorption voltammetry of titanium with various heterocyclic azo-compounds

The voltammetric behaviour of various heterocyclic azo-compounds and their Ti-complexes was investigated at a stationary Hg electrode. In moderately acidic solutions Ti(IV) reacts with pyridylazo-compounds (PAR, 5-Br-PADAP, PAN), thiazolylazo-compounds (TAR, 5-Me-TAR, TAN, 4-Me-TAP) and pyrazolylazo-compounds (MDR, ERB) to form Ti-complexes, which are strongly adsorbed onto the Hg-electrode. These complexes are reduced at potentials more negative than those corresponding to the reduction of their respective ligands. The conditions for determining titanium by adsorption voltammetry using TAR and MDR as complexing agents were investigated in detail, as was the influence of foreign ions on the determination. For TAR a detection limit of 0.15 ng/g Ti was found, for MDR the same was 0.12 ng/g. Trace amounts of titanium in bological samples were also determined using PAR, 5-Br-PADAP, TAR and MDR as complexing agents. The results agreed satisfactorily with those obtained by ICP.     

Complexation of uranium by 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-4-methoxyphenol and 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-5-methoxyphenol

A comparative study has been made of the complexation of uranium(VI) by 2-(2-thiazolyl)-4-methoxyphenol (TAMH) and 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-5-methoxyphenol(TAMR). The complexes are less stable and have lower molar absorptivities than the PAR and TAR complexes but are still useful for determination of uranium. The TAMH chelate can be extracted into isobutyl methyl ketone. Both complexes are 1:1 metal :ligand. For the TAMH complex log beta(1) = 8.8, = 1.4 x 10(4) at 610 mmu; for the TAMR complex log beta(1) = 8.1, = 2.0 x 10(4) at 530 mmu.     

Synthesis,characterization and fluorescence studies of Th(IV) complexes of Schiff bases derived from 2,6-diformyl-4-methyl phenol and 3-substituted-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles

Thorium(IV) complexes have been synthesized by reacting Th(IV) nitrate with Schiff bases derived from 2,6-diformyl-4-methyl phenol and 3-substituted-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles in ethanol. These complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductance and spectral studies. Analytical and spectral data suggest structures in which Th(IV) is six-coordinate, which is supported by coordination of seven nitrate ions with one bidentate, hydroxyl group of 2,6-diformyl-4-methyl phenol in a bidentate fashion and two azomethine groups through nitrogen atoms. The fluorescence and solid state electrical conductivity properties have been studied.     

UO<Subscript>2</Subscript>(VI), Sn(IV), Th(IV) and Li(I) complexes of 4-azomalononitrile antipyrine

UO₂(VI), Sn(IV), Th(IV) and Li(I) complexes of 4-azomalononitrile antipyrine (L) have been isolated and characterized based on IR spectra, ¹H NMR, elemental analyses, molar conductance and thermal analysis (DTA/TG). The study revealed that the ligand behaves as a neutral bidentate one and coordination takes place via the carbonyl atom of pyrazolone ring >C=O and the azomethine nitrogen >C=N. The thermal stability of the metal complexes were investigated by thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques and infrared spectra, and correlated to their structure. The thermal study revealed that Th(IV) complexes show lower thermal stability than both UO₂(VI) and Sn(IV) complexes.     

Spectral and thermal studies with anti-fungal aspects of some organotin(IV) complexes with nitrogen and sulphur donor ligands derived from 2-phenylethylamine

Some complexes of 2-phenylethyl dithiocarbamate, thiohydrazides and thiodiamines with dibenzyltin(IV) chloride, tribenzyltin(IV) chloride and di(para-chlorobenzyl)tin(IV) dichloride have been synthesized and investigated in 1:2 and 1:1 molar ratio. The dithiocarbamate ligand act as monoanionic bidentate and thiohydrazide, thiodiamines act as neutral bidentate ligand. The synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and molecular weight determination studies and their bonding pattern suggested on the basis of electronic, infrared, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Using thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) various thermodynamic and kinetic parameters viz. reaction order (n), apparent activation energy (Ea), apparent activation entropy (S#) and heat of reaction (DeltaH) have been calculated and correlated with the structural aspects for solid-state decomposition of complexes. The ligands and their tin complexes have also been screened for their fungitoxicity activity against Rhizoctonia solanii and Sclerotium rolfsii and their ED50 values calculated.     

Palladium(II) and platinum(II),(IV) complexes of 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives

Palladium(II) and Platinum(II),(IV) complexes with 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives (L1)–(L3), prepared by reacting the corresponding metal halide with the ligand in the required stoichiometric ratio, were characterised by chemical analyses and physical measurements. The structures have been assigned on the basis of i.r. spectroscopy, electronic reflectance spectra and molar conductivities.     

Metal complexes of 4-(2'-thiazolylazo)-resorcinol A comparative study with 4-(2'-pyridylazo)-resorcinol

The acid dissociation constants of 4-(2'-thiazolylazo)-resorcinol (TAR) and the formation constants of the metal complexes formed by this reagent with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II) have been determined potentiometrically at 25° in 50% v/v mixtures of dioxane and water. The values obtained for TAR and the metal complexes are contrasted with similar values for the reagent 4-(2'-pyridylazo)-resorcinol (PAR). Differences and similarities between the co-ordinating tendencies of these two reagents are revealed in terms of the proton displacement constant and the acid dissociation constants of the metal complexes. Evidence is presented which suggests that both TAR and PAR may act as terdentate ligands toward some bivalent metal ions.     

H-point standard addition method for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of Co(II) and Ni(II) by 1-(2-pyridylazo)2-naphthol in micellar media

A very simple and selective spectrophotometric method for simultaneous determination of Co(II) and Ni(II) by 1-(2-pyridylazo) 2-naphthol (PAN), in micellar media, using H-point standard addition method (HPSAM) is described. The ligand and its metal complexes (Co(II)-PAN and Ni(II)-PAN) were made water-soluble by the neutral surfactant Triton X-100, and therefore, no extraction with organic solvents was required. Formation of both the complexes was complete within 10 min at pH 9 (adjusted by ammonia buffer). The linear range was 0.10-2.00 microg ml(-1) for Co(II) and 0.05-1.50 microg ml(-1) for Ni(II). The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) for the simultaneous determination of 0.50 microg ml(-1) each of Co(II) and Ni(II) was 2.32 and 3.13%, respectively. Interference effects of common anions and cations were studied and the method was applied to simultaneous determination of Co(II) and Ni(II) in alloy samples. The method was compared with derivative spectrophotometric method.     

Pesticidal and antifertility activities of triorganogermanium(IV) complexes synthesized using a green chemical approach

Microwave chemistry is a green chemical method that improves reaction conditions and product yields while reducing solvent amounts and reaction times. This paper deals with the synthesis, spectral and biological studies of germanium(IV) complexes with chelating hydrazones derived from 1‐(pyridine‐2‐yl)ethanone (F₁) and 1‐(furan‐2‐yl)ethanone (F₂) with isonicotinohydrazide (INH). The complexes have been synthesized under a microwave–green chemical approach and investigated using a combination of microanalytical analysis, melting point, IR spectra, ¹H NMR spectra and ¹³C NMR spectra. Trimethylgermanium(IV)chloride and triphenylgermanium(IV)chloride interact with the hydrazones in a 1:1 molar ratio (metal:ligand), resulting in the formation of coloured products. On the basis of conductance and spectral evidence, a pentacoordinated structure for germanium(IV) complexes has been assigned for these products. The ligand is coordinated to the germanium(IV) via the azomethine nitrogen atom and the enolic oxygen atom. The free ligands and their metal complexes have been tested in male rats in order to assess their antifertility properties. Ligands and their metal complexes have also been tested in vitro against a number of pathogenic microorganisms in order to assess their antimicrobial and pesticidal properties. Both the ligands and their complexes were found to possess appreciable antifertility activity and other activities, which have been discussed in brief. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Complexes of Te(IV) with Sulfur and Selenium Containing Ligands: Crystal and Molecular Structure of Trichloro(4-methoxyphenyl)tellurium(IV)· N -methylbenzothiazole-2-( 3H )-thione

We report the synthesis and characterization of two new complexes of trichloro(4-methoxyphenyl)tellurium(IV) with N -methylbenzothiazole-2-( 3H )-thione ( 1 ) and N -methylbenzothiazole-2-( 3H )-selone ( 2 ). Both are obtained as air-stable complexes by the addition of a 1:1 molar ratio of the substituted tellurium(IV) trichloride with the appropriate ligand in tetrahydrofuran under an atmosphere of dry nitrogen. Both ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) have been characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and, in the case of ( 1 ), by a single crystal x-ray diffraction study. The molecular structure of ( 1 ) shows an approximately square-based pyramidal structure with one short Te--Cl bond [2.388(2)Å] trans to a very long Te--S linkage [2.883(2)Å]. A comparison with the related structures of some heavy main group elements is included.

Thallium(III) gives sensitive reactions with PAR and TAR (epsilon = 2 x 10(4) at 520 nm), forming 1:1 complexes at pH approximately 1-2, and a mixture of 1:1 and 1:2 complexes at higher pH values; hydrolysis sets in above pH approximately 3. The stability constants are evaluated.     

Spectroscopic,thermal, biological activity,molecular docking and density functional theoretical investigation of novel bis Schiff base complexes

New Schiff base ligand (H₂L, 1,2‐bis[(2‐(2‐hydroxyphenylimino)‐methyl)phenoxy]ethane) came from condensation reaction of bisaldehyde and 2‐aminophenol was synthesized in a molar ratio 1:2. Metal complexes and the ligand were completely discussed with spectroscopic and theoretical mechanism. The complexes with Fe(III), Cr(III), Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Th(IV) and Zn(II) have been discussed and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, IR, mass spectroscopy, thermal, magnetic measurements, and ¹H NMR. The results proved that the Schiff base was a divalent anion with hexadentate O₄N₂ donors came from the etheric oxygens (O1, O2), azomethine nitrogens (N1, N2) and deprotonated phenolic oxygens (O3, O4). Density Functional Theory using (B3LYP/6‐31G*) level of theory were implemented to predict molecular geometry, Mulliken atomic energetic and charges of the ligand and complexes. The calculation display that complexes had weak field ligand. The binding energy ranged from 650.5 to 1499.0 kcal/mol for Mn(II) and Th(IV) complexes, respectively. The biological behavior of the Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were displayed against bacteria and fungi organisms. Fe(III) complex gave remarkable biological activity in comparison with the parent bis Schiff base.     

Antimicrobial,antioxidant and antitumor activities of Nano-Structure Eu (III) and La (III) complexes with nitrogen donor tridentate ligands

Nano structure metal complexes of Eu (III) and La (III) with two different nitrogen donor tridentate ligands: N-(2-Aminoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine “AEPD = L1” and 1-(2-Aminoethyl)piperazine “AEPz = L2” , were prepared. All synthesized compounds were identified and confirmed by elemental analyses, molar conductivity and spectral analyses (UV–Visible, IR and mass). Conductance measurement indicates that all the complexes are non-electrolytic in nature and the complexes were isolated in 1:1 molar ratio (metal: ligand). Thermal decomposition profiles were consistent with the proposed formulations. The ligands behave as a tridentate ligand through three nitrogen centers of donation. The nano-size was investigated by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The geometric structure properties were analyzed using density functional theory (DFT) for ligands and their Lanthanum (III) complexes. The complexes were screened against some bacteria strains, hepatocellular cell line and diphenylhydrazine free radical. The molecular docking active sites interactions were evaluated.     

Physicochemical Investigation on the Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with Aminocyclodiphosph(V)azane Derivative

Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) form 2:1 complexes with aminocyclodiphosph(V)azane derivative. The complexes have been investigated in solution by the spectrophometric molar ratio and conductometeric methods. The ligand and its complexes have been isolated in solid state and characterized on the basis of microanalytical, infrared, electronic, magnetic moment, 1 H NMR and mass spectral data. The cobalt and nickel complexes were assigned to be in tetrahedral structure while the copper complex is assigned to be in square planar.     

Complexation of aluminium, yttrium, lanthanum and lanthanides with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (par)

The sensitive reactions between 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) and yttrium, lanthanum and the lanthanides can be used for the spectrophotometric determination of these elements. The method has no advantage over other methods for the determination of aluminium and lanthanum. Only M(PAR)H and M(PAR) complexes are formed in solutions where the molarity of the metal ion is greater than or nearly equal to the molarity of the ligand at pH < 7-5. If there is molar excess of PAR, 1:2 complexes may be formed but this is certain only for the yttrium-PAR system. Errors in analysis may result from the simultaneous occurrence of optically different complexes; close control of pH and reagent concentration is essential. Optical and equilibrium data are given for the systems investigated.     

Synthesis,characterization, antimicrobial and diuretic study of Mg(II), Mn(II), Fe(II) and VO(II) complexes of chemotherapeutic importance

The synthesis, characterization and diuretic activity of four new biologically active complexes of Mg(II) and VO(II) with bidentate Schiff base ligand acetazolamide–salicylaldimine (L) obtained from the inserted condensation of 5-acetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulphonamide (acetazolamide) with salicylaldehyde in a 1:1 molar ratio have been reported. Using this bidentate ligand complexes of Mg(II), Mn(II), Fe(II) and VO(II) with general formula ML₂ have been synthesized. The synthesized complexes were characterized by several techniques using elemental analysis, FT-IR, electronic spectra, TGA, mass, particle size analysis and molar conductance measurements. The elemental analysis data suggest the stoichiometry to be 1:2 [M:L]. The molar conductance measurements suggest non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. Infrared spectral data agreed with the coordination to the central metal ion through deprotonated phenolic oxygen and azomethine nitrogen atoms. On the basis of spectral studies, octahedral geometry is suggested for Mg(II), Mn(II), Fe(II) and square pyramidal geometry is suggested for VO(II) complexes. The pure drug, synthesized ligand and metal(II) complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activities against Eschericia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavous. The results show that the metal complexes were more active than the ligand and pure drug against these microbial species as expected. The ligand and its Mg(II) complexes was screened for their diuretic activity also.     

Synthesis,characterization, semi-empirical study,and biological activities of organotin(IV) complexes with cyclohexylcarbamodithioic acid as biological active ligand

Cyclohexylcarbamodithioic acid has been synthesized by the reaction of cyclohexylamine with carbon disulfide at room temperature. Its complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of cyclohexylcarbamodithioic acid with organotin(IV) chlorides in 1?:?1/1?:?2 molar ratio. The ligand and complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), and multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR spectroscopy. Elemental data show good agreement between calculated and found values of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur. IR data show that the ligand is bidentate and complexes exhibit a five-coordinate geometry in the solid state, which is also confirmed by semi-empirical studies. NMR data show that the complexes exhibit tetrahedral geometry in solution state. The ligand and its complexes were screened for their in vitro mutagenic, antimicrobial, MIC, antioxidant activities, and cytotoxicity. Biological screening data demonstrate that complexes show significant activity against various bacterial and fungal strains and are good antioxidants. The cytotoxicity data show positive lethality for complexes as compared to ligand and can play a very significant role in drug development.     

Synthesis,Spectral, Characterization,and Anticancer Activity of Some Binary and Mixed Ligand Complexes of 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone Thiosemicarbazone and Some Amino Acids

The Schiff base ligand 4-methyl-2-pentanone thiosemicarbazone (MPTSC) (HL) has been synthesized by the interaction of 4-methyl-2-pentanone (MP) and thiosemicarbazone (TSC). The Ni(II), Cu(II), and Fe(III) binary complexes of this ligand have been prepared. The ternary complexes of VO(IV) and Mn(II) ions with HL and glutamine (Glu) as a secondary ligand, in addition to VO(IV), Mn(II), and La(III) with HL and glycine (Gly) as a secondary ligand, have also been synthesized. The binary and ternary complexes have been characterized based on elemental analysis, IR, UV-VIS, molar conductance, mass spectra, magnetic moment, and ESR measurements. The magnetic moment, UV, and ESR studies suggest that Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes are square planar, whereas Fe(III), Mn(II), and La(III) complexes have octahedral geometry, but VO(IV) ternary complexes have square pyramidal geometry. The analytical data indicate that the metal-to-ligand ratio in binary complexes is 1:1, except HL-Cu(II) chloride complex where the metal-to-ligand to secondary ligand ratio in ternary complexes is 1:1:1. The anticancer studies showed that the anticancer activity is in the decreasing order: ternary complexes > binary complexes > free ligand (HL).
