Synthesis and Characterization of Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) Complexes of a New Vic-Dioxime Ligand

In this study, 1,2-dihydroxyimino-3,7-di-aza-9,10-O-α-methyl benzal decane (LH₂) was synthesized starting from 1,2-O-α-methyl benzal-4-aza-7-amino heptane (RNH₂) and antichloroglyoxime.

However, the reaction of the ligand with salts of Zn(II) and Cd(II) gave products with metal:ligand ratio of 1:1. Structures of the ligand and its complexes are proposed based on elemental analyses, IR, ¹³C- and ¹H-NMR spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).     

Intra-molecular Electronic Energy Transfer in Mono- and Di-nuclear Zinc(II) Supramolecular Complexes

Intra-molecular electronic energy transfer processes have been investigated in systems containing two distinct fluorophores Fl 1 (absorbing photonic energy) and Fl 2 (coumarin 343, brought at a close distance through coordinative interactions, emitting). Fl 1 is covalently linked or incorporated in a polyamine platform containing one or two Zn II ions, while Fl 2 coordinates the Zn II centre(s) through a carboxylate group. Zn II has been chosen for its photophysical inactivity and quick reversibility of the interaction with Fl 2 .

Reactions of 2-hydroxyimino-1-methylpropylidene (acetyl-) and (benzoylhydrazine) with copper(II) chloride, nitrate and acetate were studied.

EPR Spectra of Copper(II) Complexes with N,N-Dialkyl Amino Acids. The Influence of Water dissolved in Organic Solvents on the Copper(II) Coordination Sphere

EPR spectra of four bis(N,N-dialkyl-L-α-aminoacidato) copper(II) complexes were studied with the aim to determine the effect of the water molecules dissolved in organic solvents on the electronic states of copper(II).

The structures of 41 Ni(II) and 17 Cu(II) complexes of macrocyclic quadridentate ligands have been analyzed, and are discussed about bond lengths, bond angles, conformations, and configurations, upon which many conclusions are formed.

The most probable structures of Ni(II) macrocyclic compounds have coordination number six for the metal ion, chair forms for six-membered rings, planar structure for the metal ion and the four donor atoms of the quadridentate ligand and an inversion center at the central metal ion.     

Electrochemical Examination of Copper(II) Complexes with Octaazamacrocyclic Ligand and Heterocyclic Dithiocarbamate

Mixed ligand dinuclear copper(II) complexes of the general formula [Cu₂(Rdtc)tpmc)](ClO₄)₃ with octaazamacrocyclic ligand tpmc and four different heterocyclic dithiocarbamate ligands Rdtc^?, as well as the complexes [Cu₂(tpmc)](ClO₄)₄ and [Cu(tpmc)](ClO₄)₂?2H₂O were studied in aqueous NaClO₄ and HClO₄ solutions by cyclic voltammetry on glassy carbon electrode.

Copper(II) ion-selective microelectrochemical transistor

A device has been developed for the measurement of copper(II) ions (Cu²⁺) in aqueous medium. The device reported here is an electrochemical transistor which consists of two platinum electrodes separated by 100 μm spacing and bridged with an anodically grown film of polycarbazole. Polycarbazole film (undoped form) is observed to be highly selective for the Cu(II) ions. In a completed device, the conductivity of the polycarbazole film changes on addition of Cu(II) ions. The change in conductivity is attributed to the conformational changes in the polymer phase on occupation of the Cu(II) ions, without affecting electron/proton transfer. The device turns on by adding 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ M Cu(II) ions and reaches a saturation region beyond 10⁻⁴ M Cu(II) ion concentrations. In the above concentration range, the device response [I _D vs. log Cu(II) ion concentration] is linear. The selectivity of the device for other metal ions such as Cu(I), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Zn(II) and Pb(II) is also studied. Received: 6 April 1999 / Accepted: 20 August 1999

Four novel Schiff base nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes, derived from the end‐on (μ_1,1‐N₃) azide, end‐to‐end (μ_1,3‐NCS) thiocyanate, or phenolate oxygen bridges, have been synthesized and their crystal structures determined by X‐ray diffraction methods. They are the dinuclear double end‐on azide‐bridged [Ni₂(L1)₂(MeCN)₂(μ_1,1‐N₃)₂]·MeOH ( 1 ), the dinuclear double end‐on azide‐bridged [Ni₂(L2)₂(MeOH)₂(μ_1,1‐N₃)₂][Ni₂(L2)₂(OH₂)₂(μ_1,1‐N₃)₂]·MeOH ( 2 ), the dinuclear double end‐to‐end thiocyanate‐bridged [Cu₂(L3)₂(μ_1,3‐NCS)₂] ( 3 ), and the dinuclear double phenolate O‐bridged [Cu₂(L4)₂(NCS)₂] ( 4 ), where HL1, HL2, HL3 and HL4 are four tridentate Schiff bases obtained by the condensation of 3,5‐dibromosalicylaldehyde with N‐ethylethane‐1,2‐diamine, of 3,5‐dichlorosalicylaldehyde with N‐methylpropane‐1,3‐diamine, of 3‐bromo‐5‐chlorosalicylaldehyde with 2‐aminomethylpyridine, and of 5‐nitrosalicylaldehyde with 2‐aminomethylpyridine, respectively. Each nickel(II) atom in 1 and 2 is in an octahedral coordination, while each copper(II) atom in 3 and 4 is in a square pyramidal coordination. There exists crystallographic inversion centre symmetry in each of the complexes.     

Effects of Ring Size on Spectral Properties of Copper(II)-Diaminodiamide Complexes in Aqueous Solution

The electronic absorption spectra of aqueous solutions containing copper(II) ion and N, N′-bis(carbamoylmethyl)trimethylenediamine(L-1, 3, 1) at 25.0 ± 0.1°C and 0.10 mol L^?1 NaClO₄, were measured as a function of pH. The absorption maxima and the molar absorptivities of [Cu(L-l, 3, l)]²⁺, [Cu(H.₁L-1, 3, 1)]⁺, and [Cu(H_-2L-l, 3, l)] were calculated from these spectra. A comparison of the spectral parameters of these complexes with those of the copper(lI)-diaminodiamide complexes containing 6, 5, 6-and 6, 6, 6-membered ring systems indicates that the chelate ring size has significant effects on these spectral parameters.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,DNA/BSA interaction and in vitro antitumor activity of N-heterocycle Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes

Investigation of N-heterocycle transition metal complexes has led to the discovery of metal-based antitumor agents. Herein, two binuclear complexes, [Cu(p-4-bmb)(Ac)₂]₂ (1) and [Co(p-4-bmp)Cl₂]₂ (2), were prepared and characterized. The interactions of 1 and 2 with calf thymus (CT)-DNA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were detected by absorbance and emission spectroscopy. The complexes bind to CT-DNA via an intercalative mode and show moderate affinity to BSA. Both complexes exhibited remarkable DNA cleavage activity. The MTT assay demonstrated that 1 exhibited higher cytotoxicity against three human alimentary system carcinoma cell lines compared to 2. Further, a cellular uptake assay demonstrated that 1 can accumulate in the nucleus and mitochondria of SMMC7721 cells to induce DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Fluorescence staining and flow cytometry analyses revealed that 1 can induce cell death by apoptosis. These findings should promote the development of benzimidazole-based transition metal complexes as novel chemotherapy agents with fewer side effects than conventional antitumor drugs.
