The ligational behavior of a phenolic quinolyl hydrazone towards copper(II)- ions

Background  

The heterocyclic hydrazones constitute an important class of biologically active drug molecules. The hydrazones have also been used as herbicides, insecticides, nematocides, redenticides, and plant growth regulators as well as plasticizers and stabilizers for polymers. The importance of the phenolic quinolyl hydrazones arises from incorporating the quinoline ring with the phenolic compound; 2,4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde. Quinoline ring has therapeutic and biological activities whereas, phenols have antiseptic and disinfectants activities and are used in the preparation of dyes, bakelite and drugs. The present study is planned to check the effect of the counter anions on the type and geometry of the isolated copper(II)- complexes as well as the ligational behavior of the phenolic hydrazone; 4-[(2-(4,8-dimethylquinolin-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl] benzene-1,3-diol; (H₂L).     

Synthesis,characterization, spectrophotometric and electrochemistry studies,and DNA cleavage of copper(II) complexes of a new azacrown bis-macrocycle and its mono-cyclic analogue

A new azacrown bis-macrocycle (5) and its mono–cyclic analogue (7) were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, DEPT ¹³C NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. The reaction with copper(II) nitrate yielded the corresponding complexes, formulated as Cu(5)(NO₃)₂·3H₂O (8), and Cu(7)(NO₃)₂·2.5H₂O (9). Also the stoichiometries of the complexes were determined in alcoholic solution and the results show that for both complexes the ratio of ligand to metal was 1:1 in methanol. The redox behavior of both complexes has been studied by cyclic voltammetry in DMF. Cyclic voltamogram of 8 shows quasi-reversible Cu^II/Cu^I redox couple whereas 9 shows a reversible Cu^II/Cu^I redox couple. Mono- and bis-macrocycle copper(II) complexes (8 and 9 respectively) cleaved plasmid pGS2 DNA by using an oxidative mechanism with 3- mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as the reductant under aerobic conditions. The bis-macrocycle copper(II) complex 8 showed higher cleavage efficiency than their mono-macrocycle analogue 9 at the same Cu²⁺ concentration.     

Azothia- and Azoxythiacrown Ethers as Ion Carriers. Part II. Anionic Response of Membrane Electrodes

Ion-selective electrodes with plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membranes containing 13-membered azothia- and azoxythiacrown ether complexes with silver, mercury or copper ions have been investigated. The potentiometric response towards various anions was studied. For membranes based on azothiacrown ether (B) complexes the following selectivity patterns were found:I^- > SCN^-, Br^- > Cl^- ClO₄ ^- > salicylate, NO₃ ^- (complex B with silver), I^- > ClO₄ ^- > SCN^-, Br^- > salicylate > Cl^-, NO₃ ^- (complex B with mercury) and SCN^- > I^- > Br^- > ClO₄ ^- > Cl^- > salicylate > NO₃ ^- (complex B with copper). For azoxythiacrown ether (A) only membranes containing its complex with mercury exhibited pronounced anion response and the selectivity pattern was similar to that observed for complex B with mercury. The origin of the anion response has been discussed.     

Two Zn(II) and one Mn(II) complexes using two different hydrazone ligands: spectroscopic studies and structural aspects

Three new coordination complexes of Zn(II) and Mn(II) have been synthesised using two different tridentate N,N,O donor hydrazone ligands, Hpbh and Hacpbh respectively. The complexes [Zn(pbh)₂] (1) and [Zn(acpbh)₂] (2) have been synthesized by the treatment of ZnSO₄ · 7H₂O with Hpbh and Hacpbh hydrazone ligands, respectively. The Mn(II) complex [Mn(acpbh)₂] (3) was obtained on reacting Mn(NO₃)₂ · 4H₂O with the ligand Hacpbh. The ligands Hpbh and Hacpbh were prepared by condensing pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde and 2-acetylpyridine with benzhydrazide respectively. Inspite of varying the carbonyl functionality attached to the pyridine moiety present in the hydrazone ligands in both the Schiff bases, we obtained three mononuclear complexes 1, 2, and 3 which were clearly characterized from single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Spectroscopic investigations like IR and UV/Vis have been carried out for 1, 2, and 3. Fluorescence studies have been performed for 1 and 2. For 3 cyclic voltammetry, room temperature magnetic study and EPR measurements have been recorded.     

Synthesis, crystal structures, and properties of inorganic-organic hybrid complexes constructed from copper(II) macrocyclic fragment

Reaction of a macrocyclic copper(II) complex [Cu(L)](ClO₄)₂ · 3H₂O (I) (L = 1,3,10,12,16,19-hexaazatetracyclotetracosane) with a hexapod carboxylate ligand H₆TTHA (H₆TTHA = 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine hexaacetic acid) and a tripod carboxylate ligand H₃TATB (H₃TATB = 4,4′,4″-S-triazine-2,4,6-triyl-tribenzoic acid) yielded two mononuclear copper(II) complexes [Cu(L)][H₄TTHA] · 4H₂O (II) and [Cu(L)][HTATB] · 4H₂O (III). The complexes I–III have been structurally characterized. The crystal structures of complexes II and III show the copper(II) ion has a distorted pentacoordinate square-pyramidal geometry with two secondary and two tertiary amines from the macrocyclic complex [Cu(L)]²⁺ and one oxygen atom from the carboxylate ligand group at the axial position. The UV-Vis spectra are utilized to discuss the hydrolysis of the complex II.     

Thermoanalytical study of selected transition bivalent metal complexes with 5-carbaldehyde-4-methylimidazole

To compare thermal stability of Co(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) complexes with 4-CHO-5-MeIm, the two compounds of formula [MnL₂(NO₃)₂] and [NiL₃](NO₃)₂ have been prepared and structurally characterized. Elemental analysis and spectroscopic studies have confirmed a bidentate fashion of coordination of the ligand to Mn(II) and Ni(II) ions. IR and Raman spectra indicate that there are different coordination modes of the NO₃ ^? in compounds: non-coordinated and coordinated. The decomposition process of the studied complexes in nitrogen and argon (Ni(II) complex) atmosphere proceeds in three main stages, except Zn(II) complex, in temperature range 353?C1163?K. The final products of decomposition are CoO, MnO, Cd, ZnN₄, NiN₃. In addition, we have to admit that the different coordination mode of the NO₃ ^? ions in complexes: non-coordinated (in the (1), (4), and (5)) and coordinated (in the (2) and (3)) correlate with its thermal behavior. Thus, temperature ranges of its decompositions are observed: below 533?K and above 533?K, respectively. In Co(II), Mn(II), and Cd(II) complexes the fragments of N-donor atom-containing ligands decompose in the last stages, contrary to Zn(II) and Ni(II) compounds, in which metal ion surrounded by N atoms remains until the end. The course of pyrolysis and molecular structure of the complexes lead to the same conclusion about the strength of metal?Cligand bonds. On the basis of obtained results, it is concluded that the thermal stability of the studied compounds follows the order: (1)?<?(5)?<?(2)?<?(3)?<?(4).     

Spontaneous disproportionation of NO2 (N2o4) by aromatic hydrocarbons. Formation of nitrosonium EDA complexes as chemical intermediates

Strong (orange/red) colourations resulting immediately upon the exposure of nitrogen dioxide and its equilibrium dimer (dinitrogen tetroxide) to various aromatic hydrocarbons (ArH) are shown to arise from the nitrosonium EDA or electron donor-acceptor complexes [ArH, NO⁺NO ₃ ^? ]. The latter exhibit diagnostic charge-transfer absorptions and characteristic N-O stretching bands in the UV-vis and IR spectra, respectively, that relate directly to ArH/NO⁺ interactions extant in the EDA complexes previously derived from the authentic nitrosonium salt, NO⁺PF ₆ ^- . Time-resolved picosecond spectroscopy establishes the charge-transfer excited state of [ArH, NO⁺NO ₃ ^? ] to be essentially identical to that from [ArH, NO⁺BF ₄ ^? ]. Furthermore, the same temporal decay of the spectral transients (ArH^+?) from both systems indicates minimal ion-pairing effects of the counterions (NO ₃ ^? and BF ₄ ^? ) on the kinetics of back electron transfer.     

Copper(II) complexes based on 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone aroyl hydrazones: Synthesis,spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis

Copper(II) complexes CuL ? NH₃ are synthesized by the interaction of ethanol solutions of parasubstituted 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetylmethane aroyl hydrazones (H₂L¹–H₂L⁴) and an aqueous-ammonia solution of copper(II) acetate in an equimolar ratio. The copper(II) complexes are studied by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and EPR spectroscopy. Single crystals of CuL³ ? NH₃ are grown from 1-(2-thenoyl)- 3,3,3-trifluoroacetone para-methylbenzoyl hydrazone and studied using X-ray diffraction analysis (CIF file CCDC 1045841).

EXAFS study of spin transition effect on the spatial and electronic structure of Fe(II) complexes with triazoles

EXAFS spectroscopy is used to investigate the characteristic features of the spatial and electronic structure of the polynuclear Fe(II) complexes Fe(ATR)₃A₂ (where A is the NO ₃ ^? , BF ₄ ^? , Br^?, or ClO ₄ ^? anion and ATR is 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole) and their magnetically diluted phases Fe_xZn_1?x(ATR)₃(NO₃)₂. The absolute distances from Fe and Zn to the surrounding atoms are determined at temperatures higher and lower than the spin transition point. In all complexes, the spin transition is accompanied by significant changes in the local environment of Fe atoms, while in the magnetically diluted phases the surrounding of zinc remains unchanged. It is shown that addition of Zn atoms distorts the triazole rings in the low-spin state of the complexes. No localized anions were revealed within 3.3 Å from the Fe and Zn atoms. It is shown that a decrease in the spin transition temperature correlates with an increase in Fe?N distances in the low-spin complexes due to magnetic dilution and substitution of anions in the series NO ₃ ^? , BF ₄ ^? , Br^?, ClO ₄ ^? of ATR-containing complexes.     

Complexes of Cu(II) and Co(II) nitrates with 3-Phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-a]isoquinoline

The L⁰ ligand is coordinated to the metal atoms through the N atom in position 2 of triazole fragment. The coordination polyhedron of the Cu(II) atom is a square with two additional axial vertices, while that of the Co(II) atom is a tetrahedron with two additional vertices. The NO ₃ ^? groups in the structures of I and II perform similar anisobidentate function. Complexes I and II are studied by IR and electronic spectroscopy.     

The effect of substituents in ligands and of anionic composition on the exchange interaction in binuclear Cu(II) complexes based on 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol

A series of novel binuclear Cu(II) complexes based on 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol and containing aminoguanidine and hydrazinobenzthio(oxo)zole as variable chelatophore fragments were synthesized. In these complexes, Cl^?, Br^?, NO ₃ ^? , and ClO ₄ ^? are both the inner-and outer-sphere ions. The magnetochemical properties of the title complexes were compared and the anion nature was shown to influence the structure of the complexes and the strength of antiferromagnetic interaction.     

Synthesis, electrochemical, magnetic, catalytic and antimicrobial studies of N-functionalized cyclam based trinuclear copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes

Trinuclear copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes have been prepared by using Schiff base ligands derived from 1,8-[bis(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl) benzyl]-4,11-dimethyl-l,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, and 1,8-[bis(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-bromo)benzyl]-4,11-dimethyl-l,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane with aliphatic and aromatic diamines. All the complexes were characterized by elemental and spectroscopic analysis. Electrochemical studies of the copper(II) complexes in DMF solution show three irreversible one electron reduction process around E _pc  ¹ = ?0.59 to ?0.80 V, E _pc  ² = ?0.89 to ?1.14 V and E _pc  ³ = ?1.17 to ?1.29 V, and for nickel(II) complexes it is around E _pc  ¹ = ?0.63 to ?0.77 V, E _pc  ² = ?1.20 to ?1.35 V and E _pc  ³ = ?1.60 to ?1.74 V. ESR spectra and magnetic moments of the trinuclear Cu(II) complexes show the presence of antiferromagnetic coupling. Cryomagnetic investigation of the trinuclear copper(II) complexes show that the observed ?2J values are in the range of 116–178 cm^?1. The rate constants for hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenylphosphate by the complexes are in the range of 2.68 × 10^?2 to 9.81 × 10^?2 min^?1.

Copper complexes of two isomeric NS2-macrocycles

Two isomeric NS₂-macrocycles incorporating a xylyl group at ortho (o -L) and meta (m -L) positions were employed and their copper complexes (1?C5) were prepared and structurally characterized. The copper(II) nitrate complexes [Cu(L)(NO₃)₂] (1: L = o -L, 2: L = m -L) for both ligands were isolated. In each case, the copper center is five-coordinated with a distorted square pyramidal geometry. Despite the overall geometrical similarity, 1 and 2 show the different ligand conformation due to the discriminated packing pattern. Reaction of o -L with copper(II) perchlorate afforded complex 3 containing two independent complex cations [Cu(o -L)(H₂O)(DMF)(ClO₄)]⁺ and [Cu(o -L)(H₂O)(DMF)]²⁺; the coordination geometry of the former is a distorted octahedron while the latter shows a distorted square pyramidal arrangement. In the reactions of copper(I) halides (I or Br), o -L gave a mononuclear complex [Cu(o-L)I] (4) with a distorted tetrahedral geometry, while m -L afforded a unique exodentate 2:1 (ligand-to-metal) complex [trans-Br₂Cu(m-L)₂] (5) adopting a trans-type square-planar arrangement.     

Anion Binding Properties of N-Confused Porphyrins at the Peripheral Nitrogen

Ni(II), Pd(II), and Cu(II) complexes of N-confused porphyrin (NCP) exhibit anion binding properties through a hydrogen bonding interaction at the peripheral NH of confused pyrrole ring. The binding constants of the tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)-NCP metal complexes (1-M, M= Ni, Pd, Cu) for various halide anions in CH₂C1₂ increase in the order of F^? > Cl^? > Br^? > I^?, respectively. Zwitterionic resonance form of the NCP complexes as well as interactions between halide anions and a pentafluorophenyl group are suggested to be important for efficient anion binding.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of zirconium(IV) nitrate complexes (NO2)[Zr(NO3)3(H2O)3]2(NO3) 3, Cs[Zr(NO3)5], and (NH4)[Zr(NO3)5](HNO3)

The zirconium nitrate complexes (NO₂)[Zr(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃]₂(NO₃)₃ (1), Cs[Zr(NO₃)₅] ((2), (NH₄)[Zr(NO₃)₅](HNO₃) (3), and (NO₂)_0.23(NO)_0.77[Zr(NO₃)₅] ((4) were prepared by crystallization from nitric acid solutions in the presence of H₂SO₄ or P₂O₅. The complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of 1 consists of nitrate anions, nitronium cations, and [Zr(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃]⁺ complex cations in which the Zr^IV atom is coordinated by three water molecules and three bidentate nitrate groups. The coordination polyhedron of the Zr^IV atom is a tricapped trigonal prism formed by nine oxygen atoms. The island structures of 2 and 3 contain [Zr(NO₃)₅]^? anions and Cs⁺ or NH₄ ⁺ cations, respectively. In addition, complex 3 contains HNO₃ molecules. Complex 4 differs from (NO₂)[Zr(NO₃)₅] in that three-fourth of the nitronium cations in 4 are replaced by nitrosonium cations NO⁺, resulting in a decrease in the unit cell parameters. In the [Zr(NO₃)₅]^? anion involved in complexes 2–4, the Zr^IV atom is coordinated by five bidentate nitrate groups and has an unusually high coordination number of 10. The coordination polyhedron is a bicapped square antiprism.     

Ni(II) complexes with optically active bis(menthane), pinano-para-menthane ethylenediaminodioximes and pinano-para-menthane, bis(pinane) propylenediaminodioximes: Synthesis, structures, and properties

Reactions of Ni(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O) in EtOH(iso-PrOH) with optically active bis(menthane) ethylene-diaminodioxime (H₂L¹), pinano-para-menthane ethylenediaminodioxime (H₂L²), pinano-para-menthane propylenediaminodioxime (H₂L³) and bis(pinane) propylenediaminodioxime (H₂L⁴) were used to synthesize [Ni(H₂L¹)NO₃[NO₃ · 2H₂O (I), [Ni(HL²)]NO₃ (II), [Ni(HL³)]NO₃ (III), and [Ni(HL⁴)]NO₃ (IV). X-ray diffraction study of paramagnetic complex I (μ_eff = 3.04 μB and diamagnetic complexes II and III revealed their ionic structures. A distorted octahedral polyhedron N₄O₂ in the cation of complex I is formed by the N atoms of tetradentate cycle-forming ligand, i.e., the H₂L¹ molecule, and the O atoms of the NO ₃ ^? anion acting as a bidentate cyclic ligand. In the cations of complexes II and III, containing a pinane fragment, the coordination core NiN₄ has the shape of a distorted square formed on coordination of tetradentate cycle-forming ligands, i.e., anions of the starting dioximes. The structure of diamagnetic complex IV is likely to be similar to the structures of complexes II and III.     

Syntheses, structures, and properties of the Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes with 5-carboxy- and 5-methoxycarbonylpyrazoles

The compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, IR spectroscopy, and static magnetic susceptibility. The molecular and crystal structures of complexes I and III were determined by X-ray structure analysis.     

Binuclear copper complexes with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

The solutions containing one of the copper salts (CuCl₂, Cu(ClO₄)₂, Cu(NO₃)₂, and CuSO₄) and one of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, ibuprofen, ketoprofen or naproxen) were analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Three of the salts, namely CuCl₂, Cu(ClO₄)₂ and Cu(NO₃)₂, yielded binuclear complexes of drug:metal stoichiometry 1:2. Existence of the complexes of such stoichiometry has not been earlier observed. For copper(II) chloride the complexes (ions of the type [M-HCOOH+Cu₂Cl]⁺ and [M+Cu₂Cl]⁺, M stands for the drug molecule) were formed in the gas phase. When copper(II) perchlorate or copper(II) nitrate was used, the observed binuclear copper complexes (ions of the type [M-H+Cu₂(ClO₄)₂+CH₃OH]⁺, [M-H+Cu₂(ClO₄)₂]⁺ and [M-H+Cu₂(NO₃)₂+CH₃OH]⁺, [M-H+Cu₂(NO₃)₂]⁺) were observed at low cone voltage, thus these complexes must have already existed in the solution analysed. Therefore, such complexes may also exist under physiological conditions.
