Synthesis and electron transfer kinetics of a surfactant–cobalt(III) complex: effects of micelles, β-cyclodextrin, and ionic liquids

A surfactant–cobalt(III) complex, cis-[Co(en)₂(4AMP)(DA)](ClO₄)₃, (en = ethylenediamine, 4AMP = 4-aminopyridine, DA = dodecylamine), was synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) value of this surfactant–cobalt(III) complex in aqueous solution was obtained from conductance measurements. Conductivity data were used for evaluation of the temperature-dependent CMC and the thermodynamics of micellization ( $ \Updelta {\text{G}}_{\text{m}}^{ 0} $ Δ G m 0 , $ \Updelta {\text{H}}_{\text{m}}^{0} $ Δ H m 0 , and $ \Updelta {\text{S}}_{\text{m}}^{0} $ Δ S m 0 ). The kinetics of reduction of this surfactant–cobalt(III) complex by ion(II) in micelles, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), and ionic liquid (IL) were studied. The reaction was found to be second order, and the electron transfer is postulated as outer sphere. The second-order rate constant for the electron transfer reaction was found to increase with increasing concentration of IL, but inclusion of the long aliphatic chain of the surfactant complex into β-CD decreases the rate of the reaction. The results have been interpreted in terms of the amphiphilicity of the surfactant complex.     

Synthesis,characterization and antitumour activity of uracil and uracil–histidine complexes with metal(III) ions

Complexes of the[Al(L-H)(OH)Cl],[M(L-H)(H2O)2- (OH)Cl] and [M(L-H)(L-H)(H2O)Cl] type, where L = uracil (URL); L = histidine (HISD); M = CrIII or FeIII and M = AlIII, CrIII or FeIII were synthesized and characterized. The complexes are polymers, with high decomposition points and are insoluble in water and common organic solvents. Uracil is coordinated to the metal ion through the O atom of C(4)-O and the N atom of N(1), while histidine coordinates through the O atom of -CO2– and the N atom of the -NH2 groups. The eff values, electronic spectral bands and e.s.r. spectra suggest a polymeric six coordinate spin-free octahedral stereochemistry for the CrIII and FeIII complexes. The in vivo and in vitro antitumour activity results indicate that CrIII and FeIII complexes have significant activity against P815 murine mastocytoma but AlIII complexes show poor activity.     

Studies on outer-sphere electron transfer reactions of surfactant–cobalt(III) complexes with iron(II) in liposome (dipalmitoylphosphotidylcholine) vesicles

The effect of unilamellar vesicles of dipalmitoylphosphotidylcholine (DPPC), both below and above the phase transfer region, on the second-order rate constants for outer-sphere electron transfer between Fe²⁺ and the surfactant?Ccobalt(III) complexes, cis-[Co(en)₂(C₁₂H₂₅NH₂)₂]³⁺ and cis-[Co(trien)(C₁₂H₂₅NH₂)₂]³⁺ (en?=?ethylenediamine, trien?=?triethylenetetramine, C₁₂H₂₅NH₂?=?dodecylamine) was studied by UV?CVis absorption spectroscopy. Below the phase transition temperature of DPPC, the rate decreased with increasing concentration of DPPC, while above the phase transition temperature the rate increased with increasing concentration of DPPC. It is concluded that below the phase transition temperature, there is an accumulation of surfactant?Ccobalt(III) complexes at the interior of the vesicle membrane through hydrophobic effects, and above the phase transition temperature the surfactant?Ccobalt(III) complex is released from the interior to the exterior surface of the vesicle. Through isokinetic plots, we have established that the mechanism of the reaction does not alter during the phase transition of DPPC.     

The precipitation of some actinide element complex ions by using hexammine cobalt(III) cation—VI The precipitation of Np(IV), (V) and (VI) sulfate complex ions with hexammine cobalt(III) cation

Precipitation behaviors of Np(IV), (V) and (VI) in sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate solutions with hexammine cobalt(III) ion have been studied. The optimum conditions of precipitating Np as crystalline compounds are 0.4 M H₂SO₄ and 0.06 M [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl₃ for Np(IV), larger than 0.5 M (NH₄)₂SO₄ and 0.03 M [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl₃ for Np(V), and the higher the concentrations the better for Np(VI). Np(IV) is completely removed from ammonium sulfate solution.Composition of the Np(IV) compound from the sulfuric acid solution is [Co(NH₃)₆]₂[Np(SO₄)₅]·nH₂O. And composition of the Np(V) compounds is possibly [Co(NH₃)₆][NpO₂(SO₄)₂]·α[Co(NH₃)₆]₂(SO₄)₃·nH₂O (α = 2.20−0.32). Solubilities of the Np(IV), (V) and (VI) compounds in water are found to be 4.9 mgNp/l, 520 mgNp/l, and 250 mgNp/l, respectively.

Synthesis and characterization of cobalt acrylate–melamine co-crystals

A new co-crystal of tetraaqua acrylato cobalt (II) complex and melamine, [Co(acr)₂(H₂O)₄]·4MA·2DMF (acr = acrylate, MA = melamine, DMF = dimethylformamide), has been synthesized and characterized using IR, UV-Vis, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex contains discrete unities of [Co(acr)₂(H₂O)₄], melamine, and DMF linked by hydrogen bonds. Investigations evidenced that Co(II) has an octahedral stereochemistry and both acrylate ions present unidentate coordination mode. Thermal decomposition occurs in four steps and denotes that melamine is lost at high temperatures, and this indicates a greater stability that may be associated with the presence of hydrogen bonds network.

     

Synthesis,characterization and antibacterial activity of a curcumin–silver(I) complex

The current study reports the synthesis of a curcumin–silver(I) complex and its preliminary tests against four bacterial strains viz. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus cereus using agar well diffusion method. The results were compared with curcumin by testing it in parallel with the sample. Curcumin showed zones of inhibition against all tested strains of bacteria. Among all bacterial strains, S. aureus was the most sensitive to curcumin with zone of inhibition of 12.2 mm. However, the curcumin–Ag(I) complex did not show the expected enhanced activity against all bacteria. This is perhaps due to the replacement of curcumin phenolic protons by silver ions which might have suppressed the antibacterial property of curcumin. The current research findings suggest that while synthesizing curcumin–metal complexes, the phenolic heads may either be left unaltered or need to be replaced by better substituents than hydroxy groups. Based on the current findings, biologically enhanced models have been provided as future recommendations.     

Synthesis,characterization and spectroscopic study of riboflavin–molybdenum complex

A riboflavin–molybdenum [(RF)–Mo(V)] complex in powder form was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV–Vis, IR, NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. During the synthesis of this metal complex, another metal complex [Mo₂O₄(H₂O)₆]²⁺ was also synthesized and characterized. The results of X-ray diffraction study have revealed an orthorhombic cubic system for the RF–Mo complex. The steady state absorption and emission studies of RF and RF–Mo in hydrochloric acid (HCl) of varying pH were investigated. The steady state absorption with RF–Mo showed distinct changes in the absorption spectra of RF after complexation. The steady state emission results, consistent with prior reports showed fluorescence quenching in the aqueous solution of both RF and RF–Mo in HCl with the proton acting as a quencher. The Stern–Volmer constant observed was 108.79 and 98.68 for RF and RF–Mo, respectively. The binding constant for RF–Mo complex was found to be 1.201 × 10³ M⁻¹ at 298 K.

In this study, Schiff bases containing azomethine (–HC=N–) compounds were synthesized from the condensation reaction of 4-aminophenol and 2-aminophenol and 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde. Orange-colored Schiff bases, 4-[(5-methyl- 2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol (4MFMAP) and 2-[(5-methyl-2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol (2MFMAP) turned to poly-4-[(5-methyl-2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol (P-4MFMAP) and poly-2-[(5-methyl-2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol (P-2MFMAP) polyazomethine derivatives by NaOCl oxidant in alkaline aqueous medium. In addition, poly-2-[(5-methyl-2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol cobalt (II) and copper (II) complexes were synthesized. FTIR and NMR measurements for structural analysis of the synthesized compounds, UV–Vis analysis for optical properties, electrical conductivity measurements, and thermal analysis with the TG–DTA techniques were determined. The yield of P-4MFMAP and P-2MFMAP was found to be 84.6% and 78.6 as follows [4MFMAP] = 0.066, [KOH] = 0.198 [NaOCl] = 0.066 mol L^?1 at 60 °C for 3 h and [2MFMAP] = 0.066, [KOH] = 0.132 [NaOCl] = 0.066 mol L^?1 at 70 °C for 3 h, respectively.

Pincer complexes are widely used in organometallic and coordination chemistry.The role of antimony as a central donor atom in pincer ligands has been extensively explored in recent years.Although phenylenediamine derived PXP(X=B,Al,C,Si,Ge,Sn,N) type ligands exhibit diverse reactivity,analogues species based on antimony have been reported less frequently.Herein,we report a new PSbP complex and evaluate its reactivity.These species will broaden the family of phenylenediamine derived pincer complexes.     

Synthesis and characterization of two new inorganic–organic hybrid cobalt molybdenum(V) phosphates

Two new inorganic–organic hybrid cobalt phosphomolybdates (Hdien)₂[Co(dien)]₂[Co(dien)(H₂O)]₂[CoMo₁₂O₂₄(HPO₄)₂(H₂PO₄)₂(PO₄)₄(OH)₆]?···?5H₂O (1) and (H₂dien)₂[Co(dien)]₂[Co(H₂O)₂]₂[CoMo₁₂O₂₄(HPO₄)₄(PO₄)₄(OH)₆]?···?7H₂O (2) (dien?=?diethylenetriamine), involving molybdenum in the V oxidation state and covalently bonded transition metal complexes, have been prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, TG analyses, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 exhibits a one-dimensional (1D) chain framework, in which dien molecules adopt two kinds of coordination modes. Compound 2 shows a two-dimensional (2D) layer framework with three types of unusual tunnels. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time [Co(dien)] units are directly incorporated into 1D and 2D skeletons of reduced molybdenum phosphates. The electrochemical properties of the two compounds were studied via the method of bulk-modified carbon paste electrodes. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of compound 2 are reported.     

Synthesis, characterization and magnetism of μ-chloranilato bi-nuclear chromium (III) complexes

Five new chloranilato-bridged binuclear chromium (III) complexes have been synthesized and identified as [Cr2(CA)L4]-(ClO4)4[L denotes 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me-phen); 2,9-dimethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline ( Me2-phen); 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline(Cl-phen); diaminoethane (en) or 1,3-diaminopropane (pn)], where CA represents the dianion of chloranilic acid. Based on elemental analyses, molar conductivity and magnetic moment of room-temperature measurements, and IR and electronic spectral studies, it is proposed that these complexes have CA-bridged structures and consist of two chromium (III) ions, each in an octahedral environment. The complexes [Cr2(CA)(Me-phen)4](ClO4)4(1) and [Cr2(CA)(Me2-phen)4](ClO4)4(2) were further characterized by variable temperature (4.2-300 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements and the observed data were successfully simulated by the equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, , giving the exchange parameter J = -7.8 cm-1 for (1) and J= -6.5 cm*1 for (2).

Synthesis,characterization, and biological activity of some complex combinations of nickel with α-ketoglutaric acid and 1-(o-tolyl)biguanide

The four divalent nickel complexes having α-ketoglutaric acid (H₂A) and 1-(o-tolyl)biguanide (TB) ligands have been synthesized, characterized, and tested for antibacterial and antitumor activity.The proposed formulas for these complexes are [Ni(TB)(HA)(H₂O)₂]Cl (C1), [Ni(TB)(HA)(H₂O)₂]Br (C2), [Ni(TB)(HA)]NO₃·H₂O (C3), and [Ni(TB)(HA)]CH₃COO (C4), where HA represents deprotonated H₂A.For the four complexes and for the ligands used in the synthesis, the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and antitumor activity in HeLa tumor cells were tested. A moderate cytotoxic effect of C3 and C4 complexes has been observed on the development and metabolic activity of HeLa cells, whereas C1 and C2 ligands have a very low effect on them.The synthesized complexes (obtained) inhibit adherence to the inert substrate of bacterial strains S. aureus and P. aeruginosa; therefore, they may be candidates for (potential) therapeutic applications.

The neutral Pz ligand is monodentate in all three compounds.     

Synthesis and characterization of a novel Mn(III)-(γ-diketone) complex with catalytic and antifungal activity

Abstract

A novel Mn(III) complex with γ-diketone having general formula [Mn(hdo)₃], where hdo?=?hexane-2,5-dione ligand, has been synthesized and characterized using UV–vis, FT-IR, ESI-mass and EPR spectra, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, SEM, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The X-ray diffraction studies reveal that it has monoclinic lattice system with C₂/C space group and the unit cell dimensions are a?=?9.92245 Å, b?=?10.50696 Å, and c?=?9.80835 Å. The particle size of this complex has been found to be 32.1?nm. The complex was evaluated for its antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus terreus fungal species. The results indicate that the minimum inhibitory concentration of the synthesized complex was 8?ppm for A. niger while for A. flavus and A. terreus it was 6?ppm. β-Diketone Mn(III) complexes inhibit the fungal growth only partially. This communication is the first report of transformation of a keto-group to an ester group catalyzed by a metal complex.

In this work, we describe the syntheses, characterization, and antifungal activity of [In{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (1), [Ga{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (2), [Bi{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (3), [In{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (4), [Ga{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (5), and [Bi{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (6) {R?=?Me; R¹?=?CH₂CH(OMe)₂; and R²?=?2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane}. All complexes have been characterized using infrared and ¹H and ¹³C spectroscopy, and the structures of 1, 3, 4, and 6 have been authenticated by X-ray diffraction. The In(III)–dithiocarbamate bonding scheme depicts a distorted octahedral with asymmetric In(III)–S bonds and S–In–S angles. A pentagonal bipyramid is observed for the corresponding Bi(III) complexes with intermolecular Bi–S associations through the lone pair of electrons. The antifungal activities of 1–6 have been screened against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Penicillium citrinum, and the results have been compared with those of nystatin and miconazole nitrate, as control drugs.
