Synthesis,characterization and non-linear optical properties of two mononuclear Cu(II) complexes of 2,6-bis(1-butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine

Two copper(II) complexes, [Cu(L)(N₃)₂]·MeOH and [Cu(L)(NCS)₂]·MeOH, were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic, analytical, and quantum chemical studies, where L is 2,6-bis(1-butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine. X-ray quality crystals of [Cu(L)(N₃)₂]·MeOH were obtained by slow evaporation of MeOH solution of the complex. Molecular structure of [Cu(L)(N₃)₂]·MeOH was determined by X-ray crystallography. The asymmetric unit contains one [Cu(L)(N₃)₂] and one MeOH molecule. Cu(II) in [Cu(L)(N₃)₂]·MeOH is five-coordinate, bonded to five nitrogens (three from L and two from two azide anions). Coordination geometry around Cu(II) center is distorted square-pyramidal with τ value of 0.065. Optimized geometries, IR spectra, and non-linear optical properties of the complexes were obtained by computational studies based on density functional theory (DFT) with M062X method. NLO properties of these complexes were investigated computationally and both complexes exhibit better NLO properties than urea.

The crystal structures show that complexes 1?·?2H₂O and 2 are center-symmetric dinuclear compounds, with two metal ions bridged by two alkoxo groups and each metal ion with a distorted square-pyramidal environment. The palladium complex, 4, displayed square-planar coordination geometry around the Pd(II) ion with trans arrangement.

A novel dinuclear nickel(II) complex Ni₂(NO₃)₄(APTY)₄ (1) (APTY?=?1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-{[(1E)-pyridine-4-ylmethylene]amino}-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one), was synthesized by solvothermal reaction of Ni(NO₃)₂?·?6H₂O with APTY in methanol at 353?K. The structure consists of centrosymmetric dimers resulting from octahedrally coordinated Ni atoms bridged by APTY ligands. Weak intermolecular interactions (C–H?···?N, C–H?···?O hydrogen bonding, C–H?···?π and π–π stacking interactions) are responsible for a supramolecular assembly of molecules in the lattice. Magnetic measurements over 1.8–300?K show weak antiferromagnetic coupling between Ni(II) ions with J?=?2.969?cm^?1, g?=?2.280, θ?=??5.903.     

Crystallographic characterization of three cathinone hydrochlorides new on the NPS market: 1-(4-methylphenyl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)hexan-1-one (4-MPHP), 4-methyl-1-phenyl-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentan-1-one (α-PiHP) and 2-(methylamino)-1-(4-methylphenyl)pentan-1-one (4-MPD)

Cathinones belong to a group of compounds of great interest in the new psychoactive substances (NPS) market. Constant changes to the chemical structure made by the producers of these compounds require a quick reaction from analytical laboratories in ascertaining their characteristics. In this article, three cathinone derivatives were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The investigated compounds were confirmed as: 1-[1-(4-methylphenyl)-1-oxohexan-2-yl]pyrrolidin-1-ium chloride ( 1 , C₁₇H₂₆NO⁺·Cl^?, the hydrochloride of 4-MPHP), 1-(4-methyl-1-oxo-1-phenylpentan-2-yl)pyrrolidin-1-ium chloride ( 2 ; C₁₆H₂₄NO⁺·Cl^?, the hydrochloride of α-PiHP) and methyl[1-(4-methylphenyl)-1-oxopentan-2-yl]azanium chloride ( 3 ; C₁₃H₂₀NO⁺·Cl^?, the hydrochloride of 4-MPD). All the salts crystallize in a monoclinic space group: 1 and 2 in P2₁/c, and 3 in P2₁/n. To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first detailed and comprehensive crystallographic data on salts 1 – 3 .

Both coordination polymers exhibit 1-D chain structure where bmt is unidentate and bdic^2? bridging. In 1, bmt hangs at two sides of the main chain, whereas bmt hangs at one side of the main chain in 2. Fluorescent properties have also been determined.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and properties of copper(II) complexes with 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine

Three new mononuclear copper(II) complexes, [CuL(2-fca)(CH₃OH)]ClO₄?·?CH₃OH (1), [CuL(m-nba)(CH₃OH)]ClO₄ (2), and [CuL(pic)(ClO₄)]?·?CH₃OH (3), were synthesized and structurally characterized, where L is 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine, while 2-fca, m-nba, and pic are the anions of 2-furoic acid, m-nitrobenzoic acid, and picolinic acid, respectively. All of them were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, UV-Vis, and X-ray crystallography. In 1 and 2, the Cu(II) resides within a distorted square-pyramidal N₃O₂ coordination sphere with three nitrogens of L, one carboxylate oxygen, and one methanol. In 3, Cu(II) is coordinated with three nitrogens of L, one nitrogen and one oxygen of picolinate, and one oxygen of perchlorate in a distorted octahedral geometry. Two molecules of 1, 2, and 3 are interacted by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions and strong π–π stacking interactions to form a dinuclear structural unit. The dinuclear units are further connected by H-bonds via perchlorate or lattice methanol to form a 1-D chain for 1 and 2-D network structures for 2 and 3. Hydrogen-bonding and π–π stacking interactions are important for the stabilization of the final supramolecular structures of the three complexes.     

Crystal structures and luminescence of two cadmium(II) polymers constructed from aromatic polycarboxylate and bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane ligands

Magnetic properties measured at 2–300?K show antiferromagnetic exchange between adjacent copper(II) ions.     

Novel one-dimensional polymeric Cu(II) complexes via Cu(II)-assisted hydrolysis of the 2,4-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine pincer ligand: Synthesis,structure, and antimicrobial activities

Two unexpected one-dimensional coordination polymers, [Cu(PT)(H₂O)Cl]_n 1 and [Cu₂(BPT)(ClO₄)₃(H₂O)₄]_n·2nH₂O 2 , of symmetrical triazine-based ligands were synthesized by Cu(II)-mediated hydrolysis of the 2,4-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine ( MBPT ) pincer ligand. The reaction of Cu(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O with MBPT proceeded via hydrolysis of the methoxy group to produce the dicompartmental 4,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2(1H)-one ligand ( HBPT ) that then undergoes in situ complexation with Cu(II) to afford 2 . In case of CuCl₂, the reaction proceeds further with C–N cleavage of one pyrazolyl unit leading to the formation of 6-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ligand ( HPT ) that also undergoes in situ complexation with Cu(II) affording 1 . The role of Cu(II) is to increase the Lewis acid reactivity of the water molecule where similar hydrolytic reactions for MBPT were observed in acidic medium in presence of an aqueous HCl (1:1 v/v) solution. The molecular and supramolecular structures of complexes 1 and 2 were investigated using X-ray diffraction of single crystal, Hirshfeld analysis, and density functional theory calculations. The Cl…H (11.7%) and O…H (24.7%) contacts are the most important in 1 , whereas the molecular packing of 2 is controlled mainly by the O…H (58.7%) hydrogen bonds. Complex 2 showed better activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans compared with the standard antibiotics amoxicillin, tetracycline, and ampicillin. In general, complexes 1 and 2 showed good antimicrobial activity than these antibiotics and have the advantage to be used as both antibacterial and antifungal agents.
