METAL CHELATES OF NEW LIGANDS: 1,2-BENZOTHIAZINE-1,1-DIOXIDE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

The novel chelates ML₂ (M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) were obtained by the interaction of 3-benzoyl-4-hydroxy-1,2-benzothiazine-4(3H)-on-1,1-dioxide and 2-methyl-3-benzoyl-4-hydroxy-1,2-benzo-thiazine-4(3H)-on-1,1-dioxide with elemental metals (direct electrochemical synthesis) or their acetates (chemical synthesis) in methanol. The tetrahedral or polymeric-octahedral structures with a β-diketonate fragment are assigned based on IR and ¹H NMR spectra. The studied ligands and their complexes are model compounds of molecules used as anti-inflammatory drugs.     

Sulfanilamide copper(II) chelates with 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl-imino)methyl]phenolom and 1-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino)-methyl]naphthalen-2-ol

2-[(2-Hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]phenol (H²L¹) and 1-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]naphthalen-2-ol (H²L²) reacted with copper(II) acetate hydrate and sulfanilamide (Sf¹), sulfathiazole (Sf²), sulfaethidole (Sf³), sulfadiazine (Sf⁴), and sulfadimidine (Sf⁵) in ethanol to give mixed-ligand copper chelates with the composition Cu(Sf^1–5)(L^1–2) · n H₂O (n = 1, 2). All these complexes are monomeric. Salicylaldehyde imines (H₂L¹ and H₂L²) behave as doubly deprotonated tridentate O,N,O ligands, whereas sulfanilamides (Sf^1–5) are unidentate ligands. Thermolysis of the synthesized complexes includes dehydration at 70–90°C, followed by complete thermal decomposition (290–380°C). The complexes [Cu(Sf¹)(L¹)] · 2H₂O and [Cu(Sf³)(L¹)] · H₂O at a concentration of 10⁻⁴ M inhibited growth and reproduction of 100% of human myeloid leukemia cells (HL-60). The inhibitory effect was 90 and 75%, respectively, at a concentration of 10⁻⁵ M, whereas no antitumor activity was observed at a concentration of 10⁻⁶ M.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Antifungal Activity of Metal Complexes of 2-(5-((2-Chlorophenyl)Diazenyl)-2-Hydroxybenzylidene) Hydrazinecarbothioamide

Abstract

New metal complexes of Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Mn(II), Fe(III), Ru(III), UO₂(II), and VO(II) with the Schiff base, 2-(5-((2-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-2-hydroxy- benzylidene) hydrazine-carbothioamide (H₂L) have been prepared and characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, FT-IR, UV–Vis, mass spectra, ¹H-NMR, and ESR as well as conductivity and magnetic moments measurements. The IR spectra showed that the ligand acts as neutral tridentate, neutral bidentate or monobasic tridentate ligand. The geometries of metal complexes were either octahedral or square pyramidal. The ESR spectra of the solid copper(II) complexes indicated an axial symmetry type of a d_(x2-y2) ground state with considerably ionic or covalent environment. The effect of the presence of an azo group on the biological activity of the ligand was investigated. The ligand and its complexes are biologically inactive due to the presence of azo group.

SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL BIDENTATE (Te,N) LIGANDS-2-ARYLTELLUROETHYLAMINES AND THEIR COMPLEXATION WITH MERCURY (II)

Abstract

Sodium aryltellurolate (ArTe^?Na⁺, where Ar = 4-MeOC₆H₄ or 4-EtOC₆H₄) reacts with 2- bromoethylamine resulting in the (Te, N) ligands 2-aryltelluroethylamine (ArTeCH₂CH₂NH₂, 1) which have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. With HgCI₂, they form HgC1₂·1 type of complexes. IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the complexes suggest that 1 ligates as a bidentate ligand with respect to Hg(II). Osmometric molecular weight measurements suggest that on heating the mercury complex HgCl₂·lb (Ar = 4-EtOC₆H₄) in solution, relatively less soluble species result. It seems to have two Hg atoms bridged by two (Te, N) ligands. The HgC₂·la (Ar = 4-MeOC₆H₄) has very low solubility in organic solvents and. therefore, seems to be dimerized or polymerized during the synthesis. Analysis of CH₂ rocking bands in IR spectra suggests that two CH₂ groups of the ligands are most probably in a gauche conformation in the mercury complexes.     

TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES OF OLIGOTHIOETHER QUINOLYLOXY TERMINATED PODANDS: PART 2. CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF (1,8-BIS(QUINOLYLOXY)-3,6-DITHIAOCTANE)-COPPER(II) DIPERCHLORATE TRIHYDRATE

Abstract

The synthesis of the new ligand 1,8-bis(quinolyloxy)-3,6-dithiaoctane (1) and the corresponding Cu(II), Cu(I) and Co(II) complexes is reported. The crystal and molecular structure of the copper(II) complex, [Cu(1)](ClO₄)₂.3H₂O, has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fddd, with cell data Z = 16, a = 20.326(2), b = 20.879(3) and c = 28.308(4)Å. The structure consists of discrete [Cu(1)]^?2+ cations separated by (structurally disordered) perchlorate anions and three lattice water molecules per cation. The coordination geometry about the copper atom is pseudo-octahedral with the quinoline nitrogen and thioether sulfur atoms at the equatorial positions and the ether oxygen atoms at the axial positions. ¹H NMR line-broadening experiments indicate that electron-transfer self-exchange reactions between the copper(I) and copper(II) complexes of (1) is immeasurably slow on the NMR time-scale. The coordination chemistry of (1) is compared with its oxygen analogue, 1,8-bis(quinolyloxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane.     

The coordination chemistry ofN,N′-ethylenebis(2-acetylpyridine imine) andN,N′-ethylenebis(2-benzoylpyridine imine); two potentially tetradentate ligands containing four nitrogen atoms

Summary New complexes of the general formulae [ML_A(H₂O)₂]-Cl₂ (M=Ni or Cu), [ML_AX₂] (M=Co or Cu; X=Cl or Br), [NiL_ABr₂]·H₂O, [ML_A] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), [NiL_B(H₂O)₂]Cl₂·2H₂O, [ML_BCl₂] (M=Co, Ni, Cu, Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) and [ML_B] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), where L_A=N,N-ethylenebis(2-acetylpyridine imine) and L_B=N, N-ethylenebis(2-benzoylpyridine imine), have been isolated. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, t.g./d.t.g. methods, magnetic susceptibilities and spectroscopic (i.r., far-i.r., ligand field,¹Hn.m.r.) studies. Monomeric pseudo-octahedral stereochemistries for the Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II complexes andcis square planar structures for the compounds [ML_BX₂] (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) are assigned in the solid state. The molecules L_A and L_B behave as tetradentate chelate ligands in the Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Magnus-type Pd^II and Pt^II complexes, bonding through both the pyridine and methine nitrogen atoms. A bidentateN-methine coordination of the Schiff base L_B is assigned in the [ML_BX₂] complexes (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br). The anomalous magnetic moment values of the Co^II complexes are discussed.     

Complexes of Co(II) and Zn(II) with N-(Thio)phosphorylthioureas AdNHC(S)NHP(O)(OiPr)2 and MeNHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)2

The reaction of the potassium salt of the N-(thio)phosphorylated thioureas AdNHC(S)NHP(O)(OiPr)₂ (HL^I , Ad = Adamantyl) and MeNHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)₂ (HL^II ) with Co(II) and Zn(II) in aqueous EtOH leads to [ML^I,II ₂] chelate complexes. They were investigated by UV-vis, ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, and microanalysis. The molecular structures of [ML^I ₂] were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The metal centers in both complexes are found to be in a distorted-tetrahedral O₂S₂ environment formed by the C=S sulfur atoms and the P=O oxygen atoms of two deprotonated L^I ligands. The photoluminescence properties of [ZnL^II ₂] are also reported.     

Interaction of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with 12- and 14-membered macrocycles containing O2N2 donors

The 12- and 14-membered diazadioxo macrocyclic ligands, 1,2?:?7,8-diphenyl-6,9-diaza-3,12-dioxocyclododecane (L¹) and 1,2?:?8,9-diphenyl-7,10-diaza-3,14-dioxocyclotetradecane (L²), were synthesized by condensation between o-phenylenediamine, 1,2-dibromoethane/1,3-dibromopropane, and catechol. Metal complexes [ML¹Cl₂] and [ML²Cl₂] [M?=?Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)] were prepared by interaction of L¹ or L² with metal(II) chlorides. The ligands and their complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR, EPR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurements, and Electrospray ionization-mass spectral (ESI-MS) studies. The results of elemental analyses, ESI-MS, Job's method, and conductivity measurements confirmed the stoichiometry of ligands and their complexes while absorption bands and resonance peaks in IR and NMR spectra confirmed the formation of ligand framework around the metal ions. Stereochemistry was inferred from the UV-Vis, EPR, and magnetic moment studies.     

CHROMOTROPIC CHANGES OF Cu(II) AND Ni(II) COMPLEXES WITH N2O2 AND N3O2 SCHIFF-BASE LIGANDS IN THE SOLID PHASE

Abstract

Four new Schiff-base ligands have been prepared from the condensation of 3-formyl-4-hy-droxy-1,8-naphthyridin-2-one with different diamines and a triamine, H₂L_a-H₂L_d. Two series of Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with the four ligands were also prepared. The ligands and their metal complexes were characterized by chemical analyses, IR, Far-IR, electronic, ESR and mass spectra as well as magnetic measurements and X-ray diffraction patterns.

Different products for Ni(II) and Cu(II) were obtained in similar reactions with the same metal salt, depending on the nature of the ligand. Different geometries were also obtained depending on the counter anion of metal salt. Thus, violet square-planar Cu(II) complexes were obtained with Cu(OAc)₂. H₂O and green octahedral ones with CuCl₂. 2H₂O, except the reaction with ligand H₂L_d which gave only an octahedral product whether the anion was acetate, chloride or perchlorate. Electronic and ESR spectra were used to differentiate between the two geometries of the Cu(II) complexes. The green octahedral Cu(II) complexes undergo irreversible thermochromism to the violet square-planar complexes except the copper complex of the ligand H₂L_d which did not not show any color change and retained its octahedral geometry. Based on the magnetic moments and thermal analyses, only one Ni(II) complex of the Schiffbase ligand H₂L_c undergoes reversible thermochromism from green (octahedral) to red (squareplanar). The reverse change of the thermal product (red) to the parent complex (green) proceeded on exposure to atmospheric air for a few minutes. On the other hand, Ni(II) complexes of ligands H₂L_a and H₂L_b have stable square-planar geometry and all efforts to add other ligands such as H₂O or pyridine to these complexes failed to yield other products. The corresponding Cu(II) complexes were easily transformed to their octahedral geometry by adding H₂O or pyridine and heating.     

Synthesis,spectral characterization,anticancer and antibacterial studies of cyclodiphosph(V)azane derivatives and their copper(II) complexes

The new cyclodiphosph(V)azane derivatives (1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-2',4'-bis(2,4-bis(dimethylaminopropylimino)cyclodiphosph(V)azane (H₂L¹) (1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-2',4'-bis(2,4-bis(dimethylaminoethylimino)cyclodiphosph(V)azane (H₂L²) and (1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-2'-(dimethylaminoethylimino)-4'-(dimethylaminopropyl-imino)cyclodiphosph(V)azane (H₂L³) containing four active coordination centers (NNNN) and their Cu(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic methods, molar conductance as well as thermal and magnetic measurements. The UV–Vis and mass spectra of the ligands and their Cu(II) complexes were also recorded. The copper(II) complexes were found to have magnetic moments of 1.58–1.69 B. M. corresponding to one unpaired electron. The possible geometries of the complexes were assigned on the basis of EPR, electronic, and infrared spectral studies. The absence of water molecules in all complexes was supported by thermal studies. All the thermal decomposition processes ended with the formation of CuO. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters have been calculated. The ligand (H₂L³) and its Cu(II) complexes were screened for their anticancer studies against human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and minimum inhibitory concentration was calculated. The screening was extended to the antibacterial activity using Kirby–Bauer single disk susceptibility test for all compounds.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic and electrochemical studies of copper(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of three unsymmetrical vic -dioximes ligands

Cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes with three dioxime ligands cyclohexylamine-p-tolylglyoxime (L₁H₂), tert-butyl amine-p-tolylglioxime (L₂H₂) and sec-butylamine-p-tolylglyoxime (L₃H₂), have been prepared. The metal to ligand ratios of the complexes were found to be 1?:?2. The Cu(II) complexes of these ligands are proposed to be square planar; the Co(II) complexes are proposed to be octahedral with water molecules as axial ligands. Ligands and complexes are soluble in common solvents such as DMSO, DMF, CHCl₃ and C₂H₅OH. The ligands have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-VIS, ¹H?NMR, ¹³C?NMR and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-VIS, magnetic susceptibility measurements, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and electrochemistry. Electrochemical properties of metal complexes show quasi-reversible one-electron redox processes. However, Co(L₁H)₂ and Cu(L₁H)₂ complexes show another oxidation peak in the positive region. This single irreversible oxidation peak is caused by the cyclic ring of the ligand. Data also revealed that the electron transfer rates of metal complexes with L₁H₂ are higher than the other complexes.     

Synthesis,Characterization, Antimicrobial Activities,and Structural Studies of Lanthanide (III) Complexes with 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-thiosemicarbazone

Twelve coordinate lanthanide (III) complexes with the general composition [Ln L₃X_n(H₂O)_n] where Ln = Pr(III), Sm(III), Eu (III), Gd (III), Tb (III), Dy (III), X = Cl^?1, NO₃ ^?2, n = 2–7, and L is 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1- thiosemicarbazone have been prepared. The lanthanide complexes (5) were derived from the reaction between 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-thiosemicarbazone (4) with an aqueous solution of lanthanide salt. Chalcone thiosemicarbazone ligand (4) was prepared by the reaction of [1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)]prop-2-enone (chalcone) (3) with thiosemicarbazide in the presence of hot ethanol. All the lanthanide-ligand 1:3 complexes have been isolated in the solid state, are stable in air, and characterized on the basis of their elemental and spectral data.

Thiosemicarbazone ligands behave as bidentate ligands by coordinating through the sulfur of the isocyanide group and nitrogen of the cyanide residue. The probable structure for all the lanthanide complexes is also proposed. The chalcone thiosemicarbazone ligands and their lanthanide complexes have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial studies. Some of the synthesized lanthanide complexes have shown enhanced activity compared with that of the free ligand.

Supramolecular complexes constructed with carboxylate Cu(II) and 2-(2-pyridyl)-benzimidazole via hydrogen bonding

Four copper(II) supramolecular complexes, {[Cu(Hpb)(mal)]·H₂O} _n (1), (Hpb?=?2-(2-pyridyl)-benzimidazole, mal?=?maleate), [Cu₄(pb)₄(cro)₄(MeOH)₂]·2MeOH (2) (cro?=?crotonate), [Cu₂(pb)(Hpb)(mac)₃(MeOH)] (3) (mac?=?α-methacrylate) and [Cu(Hpb)(acr)₂(H₂O)] (4) (acr?=?acrylate), based on carboxylate copper(II)-aromatic ligand systems which are assembled by combination of metal coordination, hydrogen-bond and π–π interactions, have been rationally designed and synthesized. Complex 1 forms a 3D supramolecular network with open channels by extending 2D undulating sheets constructed from 1D helical chains. Complex 2 generates a 2D grid-like sheet via unusual finite-chain tetranuclear molecules, with four copper atoms arranged in a line; the unit does not extend further due to the capping effect of the terminal methanol. Complexes 3 and 4 present a 1D sinusoidal structure and a 3D columnar network with 1D ladder-shaped double chains, respectively. Interestingly, coligand Hpb, deprotonated or/and neutral in different supramolecular complexes, provides hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions. In complexes 2, 3 and 4, carboxylate anions show various bridging modes, which are reflected in their magnetic properties. Weak ferromagnetic coupling (syn-anti µ-OCO) exists in 1, antiferromagnetic (syn-syn µ-OCO) and weak ferromagnetic coupling (µ-O of the??COO group) in 2 and antiferromagnetic coupling (syn-syn µ-OCO) in 3.     

Synthesis and study of the structure of new 3d-metal coordination compounds with substituted 2-amino-4(5H)-ketothiophens

A series of new 3d-metal complexes based on 2-amino-3-(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-4(5H)-ketothiophen (HL¹) and 2-amino-3-(2-benzothiazolyl)-4(5H)-ketothiophen (HL²) were synthesized. Compounds of the general formulas [ML₂] and [M(HL¹)₂Cl₂] (where M = Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺) were prepared by the reaction of the above mentioned ligands with the corresponding acetate (for [ML₂]) or chloride (for [M(HL¹)₂Cl₂]) salts in a methanol or a methanol–chloroform medium. The choice of the anion in the initial metal salt, as well as the selection of the ligand, is crucial for obtaining coordination compounds with a neutral or deprotonated form of the 2-amino-4(5H)-ketothiophens. Thus, in contrast to HL¹, complexes with the neutral form of HL² cannot be obtained under the same conditions. All the complexes were studied by spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography (for [CuL¹₂] · H₂O). The coordination polyhedron of the copper atom is formed by four nitrogen atoms from two ligand anions and the geometry of the coordination sphere is intermediate between tetrahedral and square-planar.     

Synthesis and characterization of CuII and CoII complexes derived from 2,4,6-tri-(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPT) by chemical and tribochemical reactions

Four Cu^II and Co^II complexes–[Cu(L₁)Cl₂(H₂O)]3/2H₂O · 1/2EtOH, [Cu(L₁)₂Cl₂]6H₂O, [Co(L₁)Cl₂]3H₂O · EtOH, and [Co₂(L₁)(H₂O)Cl₄]1.5H₂O · EtOH (L₁ = 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine; TPT)–were synthesized by conventional chemical method and used to synthesize another four metal complexes–[Cu(L₁)I₂(H₂O)]6H₂O, [Cu(L₁)₂I₂]6H₂O, [Co(L₁)I(H₂O)₂]I · 2H₂O, and [Co₂(L₁)I₄(H₂O)₃]–using tribochemical reaction, by grinding it with KI. Substitution of chloride by iodide occurred, but no reduction for Cu^II or oxidation of Co^II. Oxidation of Co^II to Co^III complexes was only observed on the dissolution of Co^II complexes in d₆-DMSO in air while warming. The isolated solid complexes (Cu^II and Co^II) have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductivities, spectral (IR, UV-Vis, ¹H-NMR), thermal measurements (TGA), and magnetic measurements. The values of molar conductivities suggest non-electrolytes in DMF. The metal complexes are paramagnetic. IR spectra indicate that TPT is tridentate coordinating via the two pyridyl nitrogens and one triazine nitrogen forming two five-membered rings around the metal in M : L complexes and bidentate via one triazine nitrogen and one pyridyl nitrogen in ML₂ complexes. In binuclear complexes, L is tridentate toward one Co^II and bidentate toward the second Co^II in [Co₂(L₁)Cl₄]2.5H₂O · EtOH and [Co₂(L₁)I₄(H₂O)₃]. Electronic spectra and magnetic measurements suggest a distorted-octahedral around Cu^II and high-spin octahedral and square-pyramidal geometry around Co^II.     

FORMATION OF 2-PYRIDINYL-2-OXAZOLINES AND PYRIDINE-2-CARBOXAMIDINE IN THE COORDINATION SPHERE OF COPPER(II)

Abstract

The reaction of pyridine-2-carbonitrile (2-CNpy) with 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol (L¹) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (L²) in methanolic solutions of anhydrous copper(II) chloride at room temperature led to the formation of solid complexes containing 2-(2-pyridinyl)-4,4-bis(hydroxynmethyl)-2-oxazoline (pyoxaL¹) and 2-(2-pyridinyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline (pyoxaL²), respectively. With copper(II) bromide instead of copper(II) chloride, along with the oxazoline complexes, the complex dibromo-bis(pyridine-2-carbox-amidine)copper(II) was isolated. Under several hour reflux, the complexes dihalogenobis(pyridine-2-carboxamidine)copper(II) are the only isolable products both for chloride and bromide starting salts. The stereochemistry of the complexes and the mode of ligand coordination have been determined by spectroscopic and conductometric measurements. The crystal structure of bromobis[(2-(2-pyridinyl)-4,4-dimethyl)-2-oxazoline]copper(II) bromide hydrate was solved by X-ray diffraction techniques. The mechanism of 2-CNpy transformation to the final products is proposed.     

Spectral characterization and antimicrobial activity of Cu(II) and Fe(III) complexes of 2-(5-Cl/NO2-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-4-Br/NO2-phenols

The compounds of 2-(5-chloro/nitro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-4-bromo/nitrophenols (HL_X : X = 1–4) and their copper(II) nitrate and iron(III) nitrate complexes have been synthesized and characterized. The structures of the complexes were confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis, molar conductivity and magnetic moment measurements, FT-IR, mass, and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. The complexes show high-thermal stability with >350°C m.p. In all complexes, the ligands are bidentate via one imine nitrogen and a phenolate oxygen. Cu(II) complexes having 1 : 2 M : L ratio are classified as non-electrolytes, whereas 1 : 1 M : L ratio is observed in Fe(III) complexes except [Fe(L₃)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃) ? 3H₂O. The antimicrobial activities of the ligands and the complexes were evaluated using the disc diffusion method in DMSO as well as minimum inhibitory concentration dilution method against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus mirabilis. Antifungal activities were reported for Candida albicans. The complexes [Fe(L₃)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃) ? 3H₂O and [Cu(L₃)₂] ? 2H₂O are more effective against S. epidermidis than ciprofloxacin.     

REPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW SUPROFEN COMPLEXES OF Fe(III), Co(II) AND Ni(II)

Abstract

The preparation and properties of new complexes containing the biometals Fe(III), Co(II) and Ni(II) coordinated to the anti-inflammatory drug Suprofen are reported. The elemental analyses, together with the magnetic and thermal behavior and electronic, IR and Raman spectra, indicated the following stoichiometries for the latter two complexes: [M(Sup)₂(H₂O)₄]. For the Fe(III) complex, the generation of a dinuclear species may be proposed on the basis of ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer measurements.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Schiff Bases 2-(2-(2-(Aryl)Methyleneamino)Phenylthio) Ethylthio)-N-((aryl)Methylene)Benzeneamine

A series of Schiff bases containing four to six coordination sites N₂S₂ X₂(X = O,N) 2-(2-(2-(aryl)methyleneamino)phenylthio)ethylthio)-N-((aryl)methylene)benzeneamine (2c–f) were prepared from the reaction of 1,2-di(2-aminophenylthio)ethane (1) with aromatic aldehydes. All compounds were characterized by means IR, mass, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, and in the case of 2b with a single crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray crystal structure of 2b showed that the resonance occurs between aromatic rings, through the C=N bonds of the molecule.

One-Pot Synthesis and Methylation of 3-[2-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-yl-Sulfanyl)-Acetyl]-Chromen-2-Ones

Abstract

3-(2-Bromoacetyl)coumarins (I), when treated with 2-mercatobenzimidazole (II) in acetone containing K₂CO₃ (mild base) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase transfer catalyst, at room temperature yielded the title compound 3-[2-(1H-benzimidazole-2-yl-sufanyl)-acetyl]-chromen-2-one (III) in a one-pot synthesis. Alternatively, III could also be prepared by treating dithiocarbonic acid O-ethyl ester, S-[2-oxo-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen3-yl)-ethyl] ester (V), with o-phenylenediamine (VI). The methylation of the title compound III was performed with dimethyl sulfate (DMS), in acetonitrile containing TBAB and K₂CO₃ at room temperature, resulting in 3-[2-(N-methyl-benzimidazol-2-yl-sulfanyl)]-acetyl-chromen-2-ones (VII). Alternatively, methylation of III could also be performed with DMS in acetonitrile containing K₂CO₃ as base and clay as surface catalyst. All the compounds were synthesized in good yields and their structures were confirmed by spectral and analytical data.
