The oxovanadium(IV), Cr(III), Ni(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) chelates of some bisketimino Schiff-base ligands (H₂L) obtained by condensation of 4-butyryl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-(or-1,3-diphenyl)-2-pyrazolin-5-ones with thiourea were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and thermogravimetric analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, infrared, and electronic spectroscopies. Ligand field parameters, such as splitting energy, Racah parameter, spin–orbit coupling constant, and covalency parameter of the Cr(III), Ni(II), and Co(II) chelates were calculated by band-fitting methods. Based on these studies, tetragonally distorted octahedral environment around OV(IV) and Cu(II) and octahedral Cr(III), Ni(II), and Co(II) have been proposed.     

Spectral and Thermal Studies of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) Complexes with 3-methylglutaric Acid

Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) 3-methylglutarates were prepared as solids with general formula MC₆ H₈ O₄ ×n H₂ O, where n =0–8. Their solubilities in water at 293 K were determined (7.0×10⁻² −4.2×10⁻³ mol dm⁻³ ). The IR spectra were recorded and thermal decomposition in air was investigated. The IR spectra suggest that the carboxylate groups are mono- or bidentate. During heating the hydrated complexes lose some water molecules in one (Mn, Co, Ni, Cu) or two steps (Cd) and then mono- (Cu) or dihydrates (Mn, Co, Ni) decompose to oxides directly (Mn, Cu, Co) or with intermediate formation of free metals (Co, Ni). Anhydrous Zn(II) complex decomposes directly to the oxide ZnO. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Dinuclear tetrapyridyl pendant-armed azamacrocyclic complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II)

The coordination capability of the new tetrapyridyl pendant-armed azamacrocyclic ligand L, towards Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions was studied. The ligand and the complexes were characterized by microanalysis, LSI mass spectrometry, IR, UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopy, magnetic studies and conductivity measurements. Crystal structures of [Co₂L(CH₃CN)₂](ClO₄)₄·2CH₃CN and [Cd₂L(NO₃)₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O complexes have been determined. The X-ray studies show the presence of dinuclear endomacrocyclic complexes with the metal ion in a similar distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by one pyridyl bridgehead group, two amine nitrogen atoms and two pyridyl pendant-arms. The sixth coordination position around the metal ion is completed by one acetonitrile molecule in [Co₂L(CH₃CN)₂](ClO₄)₄·2CH₃CN and by one monodentate nitrate anion in [Cd₂L(NO₃)₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O. Different sort of intramolecular non-classical hydrogen bonds were found in the crystal lattice of both structures.

Chelates of the type M(L)₂ {where, M ?= ?Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), and L ?= ?3-{(E)-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methylidene]amino}pyridin-4(1H)-one)} were synthesized by using the Schiff base ligand in the stochiometric ratio 2:1 (L:M) and Schiff base ligand (L) was synthesized by simple condensation between 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde with 3-aminopyridin-4-ol. The structure and formation of synthesized compounds were established by different analytical and spectroscopic methods like, elemental analysis, UV- spectroscopy, FT-IR, Proton and Carbon NMR, mass spectrometry and Powder XRD. Further, the synthesized chelates screened for the DNA binding studies of Calf Thymus (CT)-DNA by exploiting electronic absorption spectra, relative viscosity measurements and thermal denaturation methods. The proposed DNA binding mode supports the enhancement in the binding activity of the complexes in presence of newly synthesized ligand. The cleavage activities of the PUC-18 DNA in the presence and the absence of the complexes were recorded with the help of gel-electrophoresis. The cleavage experiment results reveals that all the synthesized chelates can cleave pUC-18 DNA effectively.

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with 3-(2-pyridyl)-1-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-2-propen-1-one (PHPO), 3-(1-naphthyl)-1-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-2-propen-1-one (NHPO) and 3-(3,4-dimethoxy phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-2-propen-1-one (DMPHPO) have been synthesized and characterized by analytical, conductivity, thermal, magnetic, infrared, electronic and electron spin resonance data. Based on analytical data the stoichiometry of the complexes has been found to be 1 : 2. The conductivity data show that all these complexes are non-electrolytes. The infrared spectral data indicate that the ligand PHPO acts as uninegative tridentately towards Co(II) and Ni(II) and bidentately with Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II). Ligands like NHPO and DMPHPO act as uninegative bidentately with all the metal ions. The electronic spectral data suggest that all the Co(II) complexes and Ni(II) of PHPO complex are octahedral and all the Cu(II) and Ni(II) of NHPO and DMPHPO complex are square-planar. The complex of Zn(II) and Cd(II) are tetrahedral. ESR parameters of Cu(II) complexes have been calculated and relevant conclusions have been drawn with respect to the nature of bonds present in them.     

Syntheses and spectrothermal studies of triethanolamine complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) squarates

The triethanolamine complexes, [M(tea)₂]sq·nH₂O, (n=2 for Co(II), n=0 for Ni(II), Cu(II) and n=1 for Cd(II), tea=triethanolamine, sq²⁻=squarate), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements, UV-Vis and IR spectra, and thermal analyses techniques (TG, DTG and DTA). The Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes possess octahedral geometry, while the Cd(II) complex is monocapped trigonal prismatic geometry. Dianionic squarate behaves as a counter ion in the complexes. The thermal decomposition of these complexes takes place in three stages: (i) dehydration, (ii) release of the tea ligands and (iii) burning of organic residue. On the basis of the first DTG_max of the decomposition, the thermal stability of the anhydrous complexes follows the order: Ni(II), 289°C>Co(II), 230°C>Cu(II), 226°C>Cu(II), 170°C in static air atmosphere. The final decomposition products — the respective metal oxides — were identified by FTIR spectroscopy.

Synthesis and characterization of heterocyclic Schiff base and its complexes with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)

A new Schiff base, {1-[(2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino]-4-phenyl-2-thioxo-1, 2-dihydro-pyrimidin-5-yl}-phenyl-methanone, has been synthesized from N-amino pyrimidine-2-thione and 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde. Metal complexes of the Schiff base were prepared from acetate/chloride salts of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) in methanol. The chemical structures of the Schiff-base ligand and its metal complexes were confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, ¹³C-NMR, ¹H-NMR, API-ES, UV-Visible spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, and thermogravimetric analyses. The electronic spectral data and magnetic moment measurements suggest mononuclear octahedral and mononuclear or binuclear square planar structures for the metal complexes. In light of these results, it was suggested that this ligand coordinates to each metal atom by hydroxyl oxygen, azomethine nitrogen, and thione sulfur to form octahedral complexes with Cd(II) and Zn(II).

The summary of physicochemical data for I–VI and the energy calculations for their molecules by the molecular mechanics method made it possible to establish stoichiometry of the coordination polyhedra of the complexes.     

Salisaldehyde-2-aminobenzimidazole schiff base complexes of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)

New metal complexes of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with salicylidine-2-aminobenzimidazole (SABI) are synthesized and their physicochemical properties are investigated using elemental and thermal analyses, IR, conductometric, solid reflectance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The base reacts with these metal ions to give 1:1 (Metal:SABI) complexes; in cases of Fe(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions; and 1:2 (Metal:SABI) complexes; in case of Ni(II) ion. The conductance data reveal that Fe(III) complex is 2:1 electrolyte, Co(II) is 1:2 electrolyte, Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes are 1:1 electrolytes while Ni(II) is non-electrolyte. IR spectra showed that the ligand is coordinated to the metal ions in a terdentate mannar with O, N, N donor sites of the phenloic -OH, azomethine -N and benzimidazole -N3. Magnetic and solid reflectance spectra are used to infer the coordinating capacity of the ligand and the geometrical structure of these complexes. The thermal decomposition of the complexes is studied and indicates that not only the coordinated and/or crystallization water is lost but also that the decomposition of the ligand from the complexes is necessary to interpret the successive mass loss. Different thermodynamic activation parameters are also reported, using Coats-Redfern method. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) method for preconcentration and determination of Cd(II), Pb(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) aqueous samples by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry is described. The preconcentration of analytes is accomplished by retention of their chelates with 1.10-phenanthroline in aqueous solution on a solid phase containing carboxylic acid (COOH) bonded to silica gel in a column. The limits of detection values (defined as “3s” where “s” is standard deviation of the blank determination) are 3.6 μg/L for Cd(II), 17.5 μg/L for Pb(II), 3.1 μg/L for Co(II), 2.1 μg/L for Ni(II), and 4.4 μg/L for Cu(II) and corresponding limit of quantification (6s) values are 7.2, 35, 6.2, 4.2 and 8.8 μg/L, respectively. As a result, a simple method was elaborated for the group concentration and determination of the above mentioned metals in reference material and in samples of plant material.
