Two new coordination polymers of Robson-type macrocycle bridged by perchlorate anions: Structure,electrochemistry and magnetism

Two new coordination polymers of Robson-type macrocycles, [Cu₂L¹(μ-ClO₄)₂]_∞ (1) and [Cu₂L²(μ-ClO₄)₂]_∞ (2) (where H₂L¹and H₂L² are the [2+2] condensation products of 2,6-diformyl-4-flurophenol with 1,3-diaminopropane and 2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane, respectively), have been synthesized and characterized. The intriguing feature is that intermolecular perchlorato bridges occur between adjacent copper(II) centers. The cyclic voltammograms of the complexes show that each complex undergoes two pseudo-reversible processes with the half wave potentials, −0.361 V and −0.729 V for 1, and −0.372 V and −0.744 V for 2, respectively. Magnetic susceptibility was measured for 1 and 2 over a temperature range of 2–300 K. The optimized magnetic data were J = −359.6 cm⁻¹, j′ = −30 cm⁻¹ and R = 6.8 × 10⁻⁸ for 1 and J = −411 cm⁻¹, j′ = −26 cm⁻¹ and R = 2.4 × 10⁻⁷ for 2, respectively. The data reveal antiferromagnetic couplings between the copper(II) ions of intra- and intermolecular units.

Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Fe(III) complexes containing a N2O2 donor ligand: Synthesis, characterization, DNA cleavage studies and crystal structure of [Cu(HL)Cl]

A polydentate ligand, H₂L “[1-(5-isopropyl-2-methyl phenoxy)-3-(N-2-hydroxy benzyl-N-((pyridine-2-yl)amino) propan-2-ol]”, containing a N₂O₂ donor moiety was synthesized by refluxing 2-((5-isopropyl-2-methylphenoxy)methyl)oxirane and HBPA (N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine). This synthesized ligand was used for the preparation of complexes with different metal ions, viz. [Cu(HL)Cl] (1), [Ni(HL)Cl] (2), [Zn(HL)Cl] (3) and [Fe(HL)Cl₂] (4). The ligand and metal complexes were characterized by ¹H NMR, mass, ESI-MS, elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The crystal structure for one of the complexes, [Cu(HL)Cl], was solved from the X-ray crystallography data. The structure of the complex, based on the trigonality index tau, suggests an intermediate geometry between square pyramidal (sp) and trigonal bipyramidal (tb). Both the ligand and the metal complexes show oxidative cleavage of plasmid DNA (pBR322) without addition of any exogenous agent, even at a concentration of 5 μM. The binding constants for these compounds were found to be in the range 5.33-0.065 × 10⁵ M⁻¹.

[Cu(L)] (1) and mixed ligand copper(II) complexes [Cu(L)(A)] (2 and 3), where L is the Schiff base derived from o-vanillin and l-tryptophan and A is pyridine (2) and imidazole (3), were synthesized and characterized using conventional and spectral techniques. 2 was structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray crystallography showing that Cu(II) is coordinated through N₂O₂ donors in a square plane. The EPR spectra of the complexes in frozen solution support a square-based structure. Electrochemical behavior of the complexes has been studied by cyclic voltammetry.

Synthesis,characterization, thermal and redox behavior,and biological activity of Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes containing pyridoxine and imidazole moieties

Several mixed ligand complexes [M(II)(PN)(B)] [M(II) = Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)] derived from pyridoxine (PN) and imidazoles (B), namely imidazole (him), benzimidazole (bim), histamine (hist), and L-histidine (his), were synthesized. The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis ¹H NMR, and ESR spectroscopy. In [M(II)(PN)B], the monovalent anion of PN is bidentate to M(II) (–O, –OH), him, bim monodentate (–N), hist bidentate (–N, –N), and his tridentate (–O, –N, –N). Magnetic moment studies showed that the Ni(II) complexes and Cu(II)–PN–his have octahedral configuration while the other Cu(II) complexes have distorted tetrahedral geometry. The g _∥/A _∥ values calculated from the X-band ESR spectra of Cu(II) complexes in DMSO at 300 and 77 K supports the geometry. The thermal behavior (TG/DTA) of the synthesized complexes indicates the presence of lattice as well as coordinated water in the complexes. The in vitro biological activity of the mixed ligand complexes was tested against common bacteria, yeast, and fungi. The results in comparison with the control indicate that most of the complexes exhibit higher biological activities. The oxidative DNA cleavage studies of the mixed ligand complexes were performed using gel electrophoresis.     

Syntheses, structures and properties of dinickel(II) macrocyclic complexes with two 2-thiophenoethyl pendant arms

Three dinickel(II) macrocyclic complexes [Ni₂L(μ-OAc)]ClO₄•X (L = L¹, L² and L³) with two 2-thiophenoethyl pendant arms, have been synthesized by cyclocondensation between N,N-bis(3-aminopropyl)-2-thiophenoethylamine and 2,6-diformyl-4-R-phenol (where R = Me, Cl and F and X = MeOH, 2MeCN and H₂O, respectively), in the presence of nickel(II) ions. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction techniques. The geometry around both of the Ni(II) ions in each molecule is a slightly distorted octahedral and the thiopheno groups do not coordinate to the Ni(II) ions, resulting that the complexes display contorted saddle-form configurations. The distances between the Ni?Ni centers for the complexes are 3.145, 3.171 and 3.155 Å, respectively. The influences of the substituted groups R in the benzene rings of the macrocyclic units on the structure, electrochemistry, magnetism, cleavage and antibacterial property to DNA have been investigated. The ES-MS results of the complexes confirm that [Ni₂L]²⁺ species in methanol solution are very stable because all the peaks in ES-MS spectra contain this kind of units. The reduction potentials of the complexes shift towards anode upon increasing the drawing electronic ability of substituted groups. Magnetic measurements in the 2-300 K range indicate weak antiferromagnetism for the dinuclear Ni(II) complexes and the magnetic exchange interactions enhance with the decrease of the Ni-Ni distances. These complexes exhibit cleavage activities towards plasmid pBR322 DNA and antibacterial activities.

Cobalt(II) complexes of a new series of unsymmetrical Schiff bases have been synthesized and characterized by their elemental analyses, melting points, magnetic susceptibility, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared (IR), and electronic spectral measurements. The purity of the ligands and the metal complexes are confirmed by microanalysis, while the unsymmetrical nature of the ligands was further corroborated by ¹H-NMR. Comparison of the IR spectra of the Schiff bases and their metal complexes confirm that the Schiff bases are tetradentate and coordinated via N₂O₂ chromophore. The magnetic moments and electronic spectral data support square-planar geometry for the cobalt(II) complexes. The complexes were thermally stable to 372.3°C and their thermal decomposition was generally via the partial loss of the organic moiety. The Schiff bases and their complexes were screened for in vitro antibacterial activities against 10 human pathogenic bacteria and their minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined. Both the free ligands and cobalt(II) complexes exhibit antibacterial activities against some strains of the microorganisms, which in a number of cases were comparable with, or higher than, that of chloramphenicol.     

Magnetic and catalytic properties of the 2D copper(II) functionalized VPO hybrid system [{Cu(bpy)}2(VO)3(PO4)2(HPO4)2]·2H2O

The hybrid 2D compound [{Cu(bpy)}₂(VO)₃(PO₄)₂(HPO₄)₂]·2H₂O (1), has been investigated due to its interesting magnetic and catalytic properties.

Three mixed-metal single-molecule magnets containing [Mn₈Fe₄O₁₂]¹⁶⁺ cores are synthesized and characterized. The reaction of FeCl₂·4H₂O with KMnO₄ and RCOOH (R = CH₂Cl, CH₂Br) in H₂O gives [Mn₈Fe₄O₁₂(O₂CR)₁₆(H₂O)₄] (R = CH₂Cl (1), CH₂Br (2)) in yields of 43% and 40%, respectively. Treatment of complex 1 with an excess of CHCl₂COOH in CH₂Cl₂ gives [Mn₈Fe₄O₁₂(O₂CCHCl₂)₁₆(H₂O)₄]·CH₂Cl₂·10H₂O (3·CH₂Cl₂·10H₂O) in a yield of 83%. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that all three complexes consist of a trapped-valence dodecanuclear core comprising 4Mn^III, 4Fe^III, and 4Mn^IV ions. DC magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements indicate that all three complexes exhibit intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction, resulting in an S = 4 ground state. In addition, frequency-dependent out-of-phase AC magnetic susceptibility signals at low temperature for complexes 1, 2, and 3 are indicative of their single-molecule magnetism behavior.
