Cadmium(II), manganese(II) and zinc(II) compounds

Three new compounds, [Cd(μ ₃ -Hpdh)(μ₂-Cl)] _n (1), Mn(Hpdh)₂(H₂O)₂ (2) and Zn(Hpdh)₂ (H₂O)₂ (3) (H₂pdh =?pyridine-2,3-dicarbo-2,3-hydrazide), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, TG and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Under hydrothermal conditions, H₂pdh is generated by an in situ acylation of H₂pda (H₂pda =?pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid) with hydrazine hydrate. Complex 1 features a 2D layer structure constructed by a dinuclear Cd(II) building block. In complexes 2 and 3, hydrogen bonding interactions connect mononuclear structures into 3D supramolecular frameworks.     

Interaction of zinc(II) and manganese(II) with hemoglobin

In bis-tris buffer, pH 7.3, ZnCl₂ (1.5 × 10⁻³ M) increases the oxygen affinity of human adult hemoglobin (heme concentration 4 × 10⁻⁵ M) by 43%. Using an ion-exchange method involving ⁶⁵Zn radioisotope, we have found that Zn(II) forms a 1:1 complex with carboxyhemoglobin: K_f = 5.0 × 10⁵ M⁻¹ at room temperature. This strong binding of Zn(II) to hemoglobin is in line with the effect of the metal ion on oxygenation of hemoglobin. Mn(II) increases the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin only slightly below 25% oxygen saturation, and causes a decrease in oxygen affinity above 25% saturation (by 24 at 50% saturation). The binding of this metal ion with hemoglobin is much weaker than that found for zinc ion.     

Thermolysis features of manganese(II) and zinc dihydrogenphosphate solid solution

The thermolysis of dihydrogenphosphates with the general formula MnMn_1?x Zn_x(H₂PO₄)₂ · 2H₂O (0 < x < 1.00) is studied. Two parallel thermolysis routes are found to yield cyclotetraphosphate solid solution of composition (Mn_1?x Zn_x)₂P₄O₁₂ (monoclinic space group C 2/c, Z = 4) as the final product. The sequence of physicochemical transformations and structural reorganizations is determined in both routes. Quantitatively, the involvement of the routes is largely determined by the composition of the starting dihydrogenphosphate solid solution. Two mechanisms are discussed for both removal of crystal water and liberation of free phosphoric acid. A scheme of the process is designed.     

Kinetics of the complexation of manganese(II), cobalt(II) and zinc(II) with DL-isocitric acid

The kinetics of complexation of Mn^II, Co^II and Zn^II by isocitric acid have been studied by the stopped flow method at 15,25 and 35°C, ionic strength 0.20 M (NaClO₄) and pH range 4.50–6.35. Under these experimental conditions, one process is observed for each system within a few seconds. A mechanism is proposed to account for the observed behaviour, which is associated with participation of the OH group in complex formation. Activation energies are also reported. TMC 2593     

Dissociation and complexation ofN-m-tolyl-p-methoxybenzohydroxamic acid with manganese(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II)

Summary The thermodynamic ionisation and formation constant at different ionic strengths of some divalent metal ions ofN-m-tolyl-p-methoxybenzohydroxamic acid at 25 and 35° were determined in several dioxanwater media. The solid complexes of Cu^II, Ni^II and Mn^II withN-m-tolylbenzo-,N-m-tolyl-p-methylbenzo- andN-m-tolyl-p-methoxybenzohydroxamic acids were prepared and their magnetic susceptibilities measured at room temperature.

Sorption of Cu(II) onto vineyard soils: macroscopic and spectroscopic investigations

The sorption of Cu on five vineyard soils was examined via macroscopic and spectroscopic investigations. The composition of the soils was previously determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was employed to determine the metal environment with regard to the identity and interaction of the nearest atomic neighbors, the bond distances, and the coordination numbers. The five soils present similar sorption properties and there is no XAS evidence that the nature of the soil samples affects the local chemical environment of Cu(II). The kinetics of the Cu sorption reactions is rapid, with the equilibrium loading of Cu on the surface achieving approximately 200 mumol g(-1), i.e., 12.7 mg g(-1). The XAS data indicate that Cu is adsorbed in the form of inner-sphere complexes with first shell CuO parameters of four equatorial CuO bonds equal to 1.93 A and two axial CuO bonds at 2.43 A. This is in accordance with a Jahn-Teller distorted octahedron environment around copper. Our results provide evidence of the complexation of Cu(II) onto soil organic matter coated with an inorganic surface (quartz, clay, and goethite).     

Novel complexes of 5-(4-carboxyl)phenylene-methanaminophenyl-10,15,20-tri-phenylporphyrin with zinc(II), iron(III), manganese(III) and zinc(II)–iron(III), zinc(II)–manganese(III) supramolecular self-assembly by hydrogen bonding

5-(p-Carboxyl)phenylene-methanaminophenyl-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (p-CPTPP) and its Zn^II[Zn(p-CPTPP)], Fe^III[Fe^III(p-CPTPP)Cl], Mn^III[Mn^III(p-CPTPP)Cl] complexes were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H-n.m.r., i.r. and u.v.–vis. spectroscopy. The behaviour of the supramolecular self-assemblies, Zn(p-CPTPP)–Fe^III(p-CPTPP)Cl and Zn(p-CPTPP)–Mn^III(p-CPTPP)Cl, were studied by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic titration and u.v.–vis. spectra. The formation constants were determined from the data of fluorescence spectroscopic titration. The fact that the Zn(p-CPTPP)–Mn^III(p-CPTPP)Cl system has a higher formation constant than the Zn(p-CPTPP)–Fe^III(p-CPTPP)Cl system is discussed.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of zinc(II) and manganese(II) complexes of 2-(diphenylacetyl)indandione-1,3

Zinc(II) and manganese(II) complexes of 2-(diphenylacetyl)indandione-1,3 (HL) were synthesized. Crystals of [M(DMSO)₂L₂] · CHCl₃, where M= Zn^(II) (I) and Mn^(II) (II), obtained from chloroform plus dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixture were found to be isostructural based on the similarity of their unit cell parameters and unit cell volumes. The crystals are triclinic, Z = 2, space group P \(\bar 1\); a = 10.422(1) Å, b = 11.929(1) Å, c = 20.429(1) Å, α = 73.616(1)°, β = 85.095(1)°, γ = 77.586(1)° for complex I; a = 10.436(1) Å, b = 12.297(1) Å, c = 19.924(2) Å, α = 78.138(2)°, β = 87.625(2)°, γ = 82.048(2)° for complex II. X-ray structural analysis of complex I was carried out. For complex II, the structure was not refined because all of its atoms are each disordered over three to five positions. The two DMSO molecules in complex I coordinate the central metal atoms in the monodentate mode via their donor oxygen atoms to occupy an axial position and an equatorial position in an octahedral polyhedron. The other four positions are occupied by the four oxygen atoms of the two deprotonated ligands L^? coordinated in the bidentate-cyclic mode. The outer sphere of complex I contains the solvating chloroform molecule.     

Investigation of chlorophylls as a scavenger of manganese(II) and zinc(II) using a radiotracer technique

Uptake of manganese(II) and zinc(II) by chlorophylla (Chl) was investigated using a radiotracer technique in order to elucidate its ability of scavenging metals released into the soil environment. Two possibilities were considered for the metal uptake: (1) substitutional complexation with Chl and (2) inclusion of the metals into Chl aggregates. It was found that manganese(II) was not trapped appreciably by both Chl itself and its aggregates. Magnesium of Chl was exchanged with zinc(II) in aqueous phase giving Zn−Chl at pH values higher than 7. Zinc(II) was found to be trapped by Chl aggregates depending on the pH of the aqueous phase.     

Polarographic studies of cadmium, zinc and manganese(II) iodide complexes in acetonitrile

Cadmium, zinc and manganese(II) iodide complexes have been studied polarographically in acetonitrile and the electrode reactions for these complexes discussed. The overall stability constants of the iodide complexes of these metal ions were evaluated and corrected for the effect of the ion-pairing electrolyte. The values for log beta(4) of CdI(4)(2-) and ZnI(4)(2-) are 26.2 and 18.4 respectively and the values found for the Mn(II) iodide complex are log beta(1) = 3.5, log beta(2) = 5.6, log beta(3) = 7.8, log beta(4)= 10.0, log beta(5) = 12.2 and log beta(6) = 14.4. Within certain limits, the wave-height for each complex is proportional to the metal concentration.     

Complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and manganese(II) with tridentate Schiff base ligand

Summary A series of metal complexes with new tridentate Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and furfuraldehyde with o-phenyldiamine have been prepared and characterised by physical and chemical methods. Electronic spectra, room temperature magnetic moment values, e.p.r. and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies suggest an octahedral geometry for all the complexes, where low molar conductance values are in accord with their non-electrolytic nature. The thermal stability of the complexes is discussed and the ligand-to-metal bonding modes discussed.     

Thermodynamics of formation of urea complexes with manganese(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) ions in N,N-dimethylformamide

The complexation of urea (ur) with manganese(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) ions has been studied by titration calorimetry in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 0.4M (C(2)H(5))(4) NBF(4) as a constant ionic medium at 25 degrees C. The calorimetric data were well explained in terms of the formation of [Mn(ur)](2+), [Mn(ur)(2)](2+) and [Mn(ur)(4)](2+) for manganese(II), [Ni(ur)](2+) for nickel(II) and [Zn(ur)](2+) and [Zn(ur)(2)](2+) for zinc(II), and their formation constants, reaction enthalpies and entropies were determined. The complexation of the nickel(II)-urea system in DMF has also been studied by means of spectrophotometric titration and electronic spectra of individual nickel(II) complexes were determined. On the basis of the stepwise thermodynamic quantities and the individual electronic spectra of the complexes, it is revealed that the [Mn(ur)](2+), [Mn(ur)(2)](2+), [Ni(ur)](2+), [Zn(ur)](2+) and [Zn(ur)(2)](2+) complexes have a six-coordinate octahedral structure, while the [Mn(ur)(4)](2+) complex has a four-coordinate tetrahedral structure.     

Reaction of cefalexine with manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) ions

The reaction of cefalexine anions (Cpx^?) with Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Cd²⁺ ions in aqueous solution at 20°C and ionic strength 0.1 was studied by pH-metry. In weakly alkaline medium, unstable complexes MCpx⁺ and M(OH)Cpx are formed, in which Cpx^? behaves as a monodentate lidand coordinated through the amino group.     

Spectroscopic studies of manganese(II) and zinc(II) complexes of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-acylpyrazolone-5

Mn(II) and Zn(II) complexes of a series of 4-acyl derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazolone-5 have been synthesized. Characterization was by elemental analyses, UV, IR and ¹H NMR analyses. The chelates were found to conform to a general molecular formula ML₂·xCH₃CH₂OH·yH₂O where M = Mn, Zn; L is the acylpyrazolone-5 anion; x = 0, 1 or 2; and y = 0, 1 or 2. Spectral analyses showed that the adducts associated with the complexes have no effect on the bathochromic shifts observed in the UV and IR spectral properties of the complexes. The stability of the C

O and COM bonds does not follow any regular pattern with respect to the carbon chain of the 4-acyl substituent. The Mn(II) complexes have μ_eff values within the range of 5.3–5.6 B.M.     

The binding of manganese(II) and zinc(II) to the synthetic oligonucleotide d(C-G-C-G-A-A-T-T-C-G-C-G)2. A 1H NMR study

The interaction of the synthetic oligonucleotide d(C-G-C-G-A-A-T-T-C-G-C-G)2 with two different transition-metal ions has been investigated in aqueous solution by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. The effects on the DNA due to the presence of manganese(II) or zinc(II) have been monitored by observing the paramagnetic broadening and diamagnetic shifts of the non-exchangeable proton resonance lines, respectively. The 1H NMR spectra acquired during the course of the manganese(II) titration show very distinct broadening effects on certain DNA resonance lines. Primarily, the H8 resonance of G4 is affected, but also the H5 and H6 resonances of C3 are clearly affected by the metal. The results imply that the binding of manganese(II) to DNA is sequence specific. The 1H spectra obtained during the zinc(II) titration reveal diamagnetic shift effects which largely conform with the paramagnetic broadening effects due to the presence of manganese(II), although this picture is somewhat more complex. The H8 resonance of G4 displays a clearly visible high-field shift, while for the other guanosine H8 protons this effect is absent. The H1' and H2' protons of C3 show an effect of similar strength, although in the opposite direction, while H5 and H6 of C3 are only slightly affected. Local differences in the structure of the DNA and the basicities of potential binding sites on different base steps in the sequence might account for the observed sequence selectivity.
