Hydroxamic acid dinuclear complexes of molybdenum(V) and molybdenum(III)

Summary Molybdenum(V) and molybdenum(III) complexes [Mo₂O₃L₄] and [Mo₂L₆] derived from hydroxamic acids (HL) were prepared and identified by Raman, i.r., e.s.r., electronic spectra and analytical data. The low magnetic moments of the dinuclear complexes are due to in part to intramolecular interactions. Electronic spectra and vibrational studies indicate the presence of a Mo₂O₃ core in the molybdenum(V) complexes. The relative intensities of the, main and satellite peaks in e.s.r. spectra indicate the dinulcear nature of molybdenum(III) hydroxamates.     

Copper(II) complexes of formyl- and acetylpyrazine N(4)- (2–methylpyridinyl)-, N(4)-(2–ethylpyridinyl)- and N(4)-methyl- (2–ethylpyridinyl)thiosemicarbazones

The title complexes of general formula [Cu(HL)Cl2] or [Cu(L)Cl] were isolated from boiling EtOH. The thiosemicarbazones have been characterized by their 1H- and 13C-n.m.r., i.r. and electronic spectra. The i.r., electronic and e.s.r. spectra of the copper(II) complexes are compared with data on previously studied complexes. The antitumour and antiviral activities of the thiosemicarbazones and their complexes are discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Spectroscopic studies on copper(II) complexes derived from a substituted 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazone

Summary Copper(II) complexes of general formula [Cu(L4A)X] (where L4A is the deprotonated ligand, 1 H-hexahydroazepine-1-thiocarboxylic acid-2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazide and X=Cl, Br, I, NCS, NO₃ and OAc) and [Cu(HL4A)(L4A)]ClO₄ have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, i.r. spectra, electronic spectra, conductivity measurements and e.s.r. spectra in the polycrystalline state and in chloroform solution. For all complexes, except the perchlorate salt, coordination occurs via imine nitrogen, pyridine nitrogen and thione sulphur. For the perchlorate salt, L4A is tridentate, while HL4A is monodentate via imine nitrogen. Electronic spectra suggest planar geometry for all the complexes. The calculated e.s.r parameters suggest coordination through sulphur in agreement with the i.r. results.     

Copper(II) complexes of formylpyrazine N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Copper(II) complexes of formylpyrazine N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones coordinated either as neutral or monoanionic ligands, [M(HL)X2] and [M(L)X], respectively, have been prepared and characterized. I.r., electronic and e.s.r spectra of the complexes, as well as 1H-n.m.r. spectra of the thiosemicarbazones, have been obtained. The N(4)-dialkyl and azacyclothiosemicarbazones and their copper(II) complexes show significant growth inhibitory activity against both Aspergillus niger and Paecilomyces variotii.     

Manganese(II) complexes of substituted thio-and selenosemicarbazones of 2-acetylpyridine: E.s.r., magnetic and electronic spectral studies

Summary Manganese(II) bis(ligand) complexes of substituted thiosemicarbazones and selenosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine of general formula [MnL₂] (where L=deprotonated ligand) have been synthesized and characterised by elemental analyses, electronic spectra in solution, i.r. spectra, magnetic measurements and e.s.r. spectra recorded in polycrystalline state and in solution at room temperature and 77K. The terdentate character of the ligands in all the complexes is inferred from i.r. spectra. The electronic spectra along with e.s.r. spectra suggest an octahedral environment around the manganese(II). The metal-ligand bonds are moderately covalent. Thus all the complexes reported here are six-coordinated and high-spin octahedral.     

Copper(II) complexes of 2-formyl-, 6-methyl-2-formyl- and 2-benzoylpyridine N(4)-(2-methylpyridinyl)-,N(4)-(2-ethylpyridinyl)-and N(4)-methyl(2-ethylpyridinyl)thiosemicarbazones

Summary The title complexes of general formula [Cu(HL)Cl₂] or [Cu(L)Cl] have been isolated and characterized by ¹H and ¹³C-n.m.r., i.r. and electronic spectra. The i.r., electronic and e.s.r. spectral data for the Cu^II complexes are compared with those of previously studied complexes. The antitumour and antiviral activities of the thiosemicarbazones and their complexes are discussed.     

Characterisation of nickel(II) complexes of a substituted 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazone by electronic and n.m.r. spectral studies

Summary Ni^II complexes of 1H-hexahydroazepine-1-thiocarboxylic acid-2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene] hydrazide (HL4A) of general formula [Ni(L4A)X] (X=Cl, Br, I or NCS) have been synthesized and characterised by physical and spectroscopic methods. The molar conductivities show that all of the complexes are non-electrolytes. The terdentate character of the ligand in all cases is inferred from i.r. spectra, while the electronic spectra suggest planar geometries.     

E.s.r. and electrochemical studies of four- and five-coordinate copper(II) complexes containing mixed ligands

Heterocyclic base adducts of salicylaldehyde N(4)- cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone(H2L) copper(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized. I.r., electronic and e.s.r. spectra of the complexes, as well as i.r., electronic and 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectra of the thiosemicarbazone have been obtained. Based on e.s.r. studies, all possible parameters have been calculated. The g values, calculated for all the complexes in frozen solution, indicate the presence of the unpaired electron in the dx2−y2 orbital. The metal–ligand bonding parameters evaluated showed strong in-plane σ- and in-plane π-bonding. The magnetic and spectroscopic data indicate a square-planar geometry for the four-coordinate and a distorted square-pyramidal structure for the five-coordinate complexes. From cyclic voltammetric data quasireversible copper(II)/copper(I) couples are observed for the complexes. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and physico-chemical studies on cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of benzidine diacetyloxime

The synthesis of benzidine diacetyloxime (H₂L) and its cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes is described. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic moments, i.r., u.v.–vis. spectra, t.g.a. and e.s.r. measurements. I.r. spectra show that H₂L behaves as a neutral or dinegative ligand depending on the nature of the metal salts. The molar conductances of the complexes in DMF are commensurate with their non-ionic character. The e.s.r. spectrum of the solid copper(II) complex (7) at room temperature shows broad signal, indicating spin-exchange interactions between copper(II) ions. However, in TMHF solution at 77 K, it shows an axial type ground state with mixed ionic-covalent bond character.     

Synthesis, characterization and DNA-binding studies on La(III) and Ce(III) complexes containing ligand of N-phenyl-2-pyridinecarboxamide

La(III) and Ce(III) complexes containing ligand of N-phenyl-2-pyridinecarboxamide (HL) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurement, IR spectra and thermal analysis. The general formulas of the complexes were [Ln(HL)(3)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(3).2H(2)O [Ln=La(III), Ce(III)]. The results indicated that the oxygen of carbonyl and the nitrogen of pyridyl coordinated to Ln(III), and there were also two water molecules taking part in coordination. Ln(III) and HL formed 1:3 chelate complexes and the coordination number was eight. The interaction between the complexes and DNA was studied by means of UV-vis spectra, fluorescence spectra, SERS spectra and agarose gel electrophoresis. The results showed that complexes can bind to DNA. The binding ability decreased in following order: La(III) complex, Ce(III) complex, and HL. The interaction modes between DNA and the three compounds were found to be mainly intercalative.     

Synthesis,characterization and structural assessment of nitrato,chloro, bromo,perchlorato, thiocyanato and sulphato mono-(benzoin thiosemicarbazonato) copper(II) complexes

Summary Some copper(II) complexes of the type Cu(HL)X·nH₂O (where H₂L = benzoin thiosemicarbazone; X=NO₃; Cl, Br, SCN, ClO₄ or 1/2SO₄; n=O–2) have been prepared and characterized. All complexes have tetragonally distorted octahedral stereochemistry except the sulphatocomplex which is square pyramidal. The i.r. spectra reveal that HL acts as a monobasic tridentate ligand coordinating through the azine group nitrogen atom, thiocarbonyl sulphur atom and hydroxylic oxygen atom while NO₃, Cl, Br and ClO₄ act as terminal monodentate ligands and SCN and SO₄ act as bidentate bridging ligands. The polycrystalline e.s.r. spectra suggest tetragonal symmetry for the copper(II) ion, involving a dx ²–y² ground state.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 2. The4 N-dimethyl derivative

Summary Metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone,N-dimethyl-2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide (HL4DM) have been prepared and characterized spectrally. HL4DM coordinates primarily as the deprotonated tridentate ligand (i.e., pyrïdylN, azomethineN, and thione sulphur). In contrast to related thiosemicarbazones, oxidation to cobalt(III) does not occur during complex formation with cobalt(II) halides. Oxidation does occur on reflux with ethanolic Co(BF₄)₂, but we isolated a planar cobalt(II) complex as well. Only with the tetrafluoroborate salts of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) are complexes isolated containing the neutral thiosemicarbazone. Square planar [Ni(L4DM)X]complexes where X=Cl, Br, and OH have been isolated and e.s.r. spectra of a 1% Cu/Ni complex are compared to the results of other workers.     

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).

Synthesis,characterization and function of ternary copper(II) complexes

Ternary complexes of glycine, alanine, -alanine, serine and ethylenediamine with copper iminodiacetate have been prepared and characterized by their i.r., u.v.-vis. and e.s.r. spectra. The data suggest that the complexes possess axial symmetry and a distorted octahedral configuration in aqueous solution. The H2O molecule on the axial copper site can be replaced by O2–. The bonding parameters, which fall between 0.84 and 0.88, indicate that the bonds between copper(II) and the ligands possess more ionic character. The ternary complex containing serine displays the highest catalytic activity in dismutation of the superoxide radical O2–. This activity may be explained on the basis of the stabilization of CuII-O2– by hydrogen bonding.

Polymer complexes: XLIX—Supramolecular modeling of bonding in novel rare earth polymeric rhodanine drug complexes

Novel supramolecular rare earth polymeric hydrazone complexes of 5-sulphadiazineazo-3-phenyl-2-thiaxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL) of the composition [(Ln)₂(HL)₃(NO₃)₆]_n (where Ln = La(1), Y(2), Pr(3), Nd(4), Sm(5), Gd(6) and Ho(7)) have been prepared and characterized on the basis of their chemical analyses, magnetic measurements, conductance, visible and IR spectral data. Composition, conductance and IR spectral data of complexes show that all these act as a tetradentate ligand. Electronic spectra indicate weak covalent character in the metal–ligand bond. The spectra of Nd³⁺ and Ho³⁺ show characteristic f–f transitions and the metal–ligand covalency in % has been evaluated. The spectral properties of the above polymeric complexes are also discussed.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic, thermal and antimicrobial studies of some novel metal complexes of Schiff base derived from [N1-(4-methoxy-1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yl)sulfanilamide] and 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde

Keeping in view the chemotherapeutic of the sulfa-drugs, Schiff base namely 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde-sulfametrole (HL) and its tri-positive and di-positive metal complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, mass spectra, UV-vis and thermal analysis (TGA and DrTG). The low molar conductance values suggest the non-electrolytic nature of these complexes. IR spectra show that HL is coordinated to the metal ions in a tetradentate manner through hetero five-membered ring-S and azomethine-N, enolic sulfonamide-OH and thiadiazole-N, respectively. Zn(II), Cd(II) and UO2(II) complexes are found to be diamagnetic (as expected). The proposed general formulae of the prepared complexes are [M2X4(HL)(H2O)4] (where M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II), X=Cl, [Fe2Cl6(HL)(H2O)2], [(FeSO4)2(HL)(H2O)4] and [(UO2)2(HL) (NO3)4].H2O. The thermal behaviour of these chelates shows that the hydrated complexes loss water of hydration in first step in case of uranium complexes followed loss coordinated water followed immediately by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in the subsequent steps. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as DeltaE*, DeltaH*, DeltaS*, and DeltaG* are calculated from the DrTG curves using Coats-Redfern method. The antimicrobial activity of the obtained products was performed using Chloramphenicol and Grisofluvine as standards, indicate that in some cases metallation increase activity than the ligand.     

An e.s.r. study of copper(II) complexes of N-hydroxyalkylsalicylideneimines

X-band e.s.r. spectra of copper(II) complexes of empirical formula Cu(Sal.NCH2CH2O)X (where X= H2O, py or Cl) and [Cu(Sal.NCH2CH2CH2O)]2 (Sal.N= OC6H4CHN) in solid and solution states at room temperature and at 77K are reported. In frozen solution at 77K the spectra show axial symmetry with a dx2−y2 ground state. The in-plane π-bonds show a moderate degree of covalence, while the out-of-plane π-bonds possess ionic character. The orbital populations of these complexes are 70.9, 81.3, 93.3 and 82.4% respectively, indicating a dx2−y2 ground state.

Spectral characterization of iron(III) complexes of 2-benzoylpyridine N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Three iron(III) complexes (1-3) of 2-benzoylpyridine N(4)-phenyl thiosemicarbazone (HL1) and one iron(III) complex (4) of 2-benzoylpyridine N(4)-cyclohexyl thiosemicarbazone (HL2) were synthesized and characterized by means of different physicochemical techniques viz., molar conductivity measurements, magnetic susceptibility studies and electronic, infrared and EPR spectral studies. The analytical data and the molar conductance measurements of the complexes reveal that two molecules of the ligand and the anion are coordinated to the metal atom in all the four complexes. The magnetic moments of the complexes suggest that they are of low spin. From the infrared spectra of the ligands and the complexes it is confirmed that the ligands coordinate to iron(III) as an anion coordinating via the azomethine nitrogen, pyridyl nitrogen, and the thiolate sulphur. The EPR spectra of the complexes in the polycrystalline state at 298 and 110 K and in DMF solution at 110 K were recorded and all the spectra show three g values indicating that these complexes have rhombic distortion. All the iron(III) complexes in DMF solution at 110 K have similar anisotropic spectra with almost the same gav values, indicating that the bonding in all the complexes is similar and is unaffected by the coordination of the anion.
