Two new lead(II) nitrite complexes,crystal structure of [Pb(phen)2(NO2)2] an eight-coordinate lead(II) complex

Two new lead(II) complexes containing nitrite, [Pb(L)₂(NO₂)₂], L?=?1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of [Pb(phen)₂(NO₂)₂] shows monomeric units. The coordination number is eight (four from “phen” ligands and four nitrite anions), weak interaction of lead(II) with oxygen atoms of adjacent molecules produce dimer units in the solid state. The arrangement of ligands exhibits a coordination hole around the lead(II), occupied possibly by a stereoactive lone pair of electrons on lead(II), and the coordination around lead is hemidirected. There is a π–π stacking interaction between the parallel aromatic rings that may help to increase the “gap” around lead(II).     

Characterization and Molecular Structure of Bis(Isopropyl Xanthate) Bis(1,10-Phenanthroline) Nickel(II): [Ni(phen)2(CH3)2CHOCSS](CH3)2CHOCSS

The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound, [Ni(phen)₂(CH₃)₂CHOCSS](CH₃)₂CHOCSS has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The brown crystal is triclinic of space group Pi, with parameters a = 11.790(2), b = 12.410(3), c = 12.680(3) Å, α = 92.49(3), β = 96.54(3), γ = 117.43(3)° and Z = 2. The compound contains a six-coordinate cation and an isopropyl xanthate anion (CH₃)₂CHOCSS^?, the central Ni atom is chelated by four nitrogen atoms of two phenanthroline ligands and two sulfur atoms of an isopropyl xanthate ligand. The TG data indicate that it decomposed completely at 734°C.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of a Terephthalato-bridged Binuclear Nickel(II) Complex

A new terephthalato-bridged binuclear nickel(II) complex with a tetraazamacrocyclic compound as the terminal ligand, [Ni 2 (cth) 2 (µ-TPHA)](ClO 4 ) 2 (1) [cth= rac -5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane] has been synthesized and characterized. According to X-ray crystallographic studies on the solvated species 1·2CH 3 OH, each Ni(II) ion lies in a distorted octahedral environment, and the terephthalato ligand bridges two Ni(II) ions in a bis bidentate fashion. Cryomagnetic measurements revealed Curie-Weiss behaviour with è = m 1.4 K. Such behaviour may be due to a very weak intramolecular superexchange interaction through the extended bridge, a weak intermolecular exchange interaction or the local zero-field splitting of Ni(II) ions.     

Synthesis,characterization, DNA binding studies and in vitro cytotoxicity of platinum(II)-dihalogenido complexes containing bidentate chelating N-donor ligands

Platinum(II) complexes, [Pt(L_x)X₂] (1–6), where X = Br or I and L_x = 2,2′-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives (5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (5-Mebpy), 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (4-Mebpy), and 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline (5-NH₂phen)) were prepared. The complexes were characterized by the elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, infrared, and multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁹⁵Pt) 1-D and 2-D NMR spectroscopies, and by single-crystal X-ray analysis of [Pt(4-Mebpy)I₂] (4). All the platinum(II) complexes (1–6) were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines A2780 and A2780R, and against non-malignant MRC5 cell line. All the complexes were nontoxic up to the 50 μM concentration, although they were found to readily bind to calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA), as determined by spectrophotometric titration (K_b ≈ 10⁷ M^?1) and ethidium bromide displacement assay.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Crystal Structure of a Ternary Cu(II) Complex with 1,10-Phenanthroline and l-Leucinate

The complex [Cu(l-Leu)(phen)(H₂O)]NO₃ has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods, where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and l-Leu = l-leucinate. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group Pī with two molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a = 7.288(4) Å, b = 11.588(7) Å, c = 12.349(3) Å, α = 86.388(10)^o, β = 76.175(11)°, γ = 72.132(3)°, V = 963.8(10) ų, Z = 2, D _c = 1.564 g/cm³, μ = 1.177 mm^?1, F(000) = 470, R ₁ = 0.0611, and wR ₂ = 0.0711. The copper(II) is ligated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by the two nitrogen atoms of phen and the amino nitrogen atom and one carboxylate oxygen atom from each independent l-Leu moiety in the basal plane, and one water oxygen at the apical position. A supramolecular configuration is formed from strong phen-phen stacking interactions between neighboring [Cu(l-leu)(phen)(H₂O)]⁺cations in the crystal.     

Synthesis,characterization, and crystal structure determination of two mercury(II) dimer complexes with 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine and bromide

Mercury(II) complexes, {[Hg(Ph₂phen)(μ-Br)]₂Br₂} · CH₃CN (1) and {[Hg(dmbpy)(µ-Br)]₂Br₂}(2) (where Ph₂phen is 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline and dmbpy is 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine), were synthesized from reaction of HgBr₂ with Ph₂phen and dmbpy in CH₃CN and CH₃OH. Both complexes were thoroughly characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 crystallize in the space group P2₁/n of the monoclinic and P 1 of the triclinic systems and contain four and one molecules per unit cell, respectively. The unit cell dimensions for 1 are: a = 20.422(4) Å, b = 11.384(2) Å, c = 20.665(4) Å, and β = 109.94(3)° and for 2 are: a = 8.7470(17) Å, b = 8.8328(18) Å, c = 9.4950(19) Å and α = 75.47(3)°, β = 82.21(3)°, γ = 85.56(3)°. According to X-ray structure determination both complexes are five coordinate with three bromides and one bidentate ligand; one bromide is set at a semi-bridging position.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Characterization of Polynuclear Potassium(I), Copper(II) and Cobalt(II) Complex with Acetylacetonethylenediamine

The title complex [K{Cu(acen)}₃]₂[Co(NCS)₄]·1/4CH₃OH (acen = acetylacetonethylenediamine anion) has been prepared and characterized. Single-crystal x-ray analysis reveals that the complex crystallizes in space group P I with a = 11.442(2), b = 15.098(3), c = 28.500(4) Å, α = 82.77(1), β = 83.58(1), γ = 85.07(1)°. The crystal consists of the complex [K{Cu(acen)}₃]⁺ cations, [Co(NCS)₄]^2? anions and methanol molecules. Three [Cu(acen)] molecules function as bridging ligands through phenolic O atoms to one K⁺ to give the tetranuclear [K{Cu(acen)}₃]⁺ cation. Each copper(II) atom in the cation is in a square-planar geometry, being coordinated by two oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms from a quadridentate acen ligand. The cobalt(II) atom is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of thiocyanate ligands, forming a deformed tetrahedral environment. The IR and UV-Vis spectra have also been investigated.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of an Mn(II) Complex with Benzoylacetone

The complex (benzoato)benzoylacetonato(bipyridine)Mn(II) has been prepared and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Benzoic acid, benzoylacetone (bzac) and 2,2'-bipyridine all chelate to Mn(II) to form a six coordinate complex. As bond angles around the Mn(II) atom greatly deviate from those expected for an octahedron, the coordination geometry may be described as distorted pyramidal with a bidentate carboxyl group occupying the apex of the pyramid. Although the Mn atom deviates by 0.550 Å from the enol ring plane of bzac, Mn-O distances [2.105(2) and 2.098(2) Å] are normal. This suggests the existence of electrostatic interactions between Mn(II) and the bzac ligand.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Property of Copper(II) Complex with 4′-Cyanobenzyl-1-imidazol

A neutral mononuclear complex [Cu(cbIm)₄(NO₃)₂] (cbIm = 4'-cyanobenzyl-1-imidazol) was synthesized and characterized by x-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 8.249(2), b = 8.735(2), c = 16.597(2) Å, f = 81.980(10), g = 88.540(10), n = 63.570(10)° and Z = 2. The final refinement of the structure leads to R and Rw of 0.0394 and 0.0991, respectively. The crystal structure of the complex indicates a distorted octahedral environment around the Cu(II) atom, coordinated by four imidazole N atoms of four cbIm and two O atoms of two nitrates. Magnetic measurements show that the complex exhibits Curie behavior.     

Thin-layer chromatography of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) and tris(2,2′-bipyridine)iron(II) on Sephadex G gels

Summary Gel chromatographic behaviour of tris(1, 10-phenanthroline)iron(II), tris(2,2′-bipyridine)iron(II) and tris(glycinato)cobalt(III) on Sephadex G-10 or G-25 was investigated by TLC with 0.001–1.0M NaCl as the eluent. The zone shapes and R_M values of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) and tris(2,2′-bipyridine)iron(II) were appreciably dependent on the sample and eluent concentration, while the neutral complex, tris(glycinato) cobalt(III), exhibited the round zones with constant R_M values. The order of R_M values was found to be tris(glycinato)cobalt(III<tris(2,2∔pyridine)iron(II)<tris-(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) in all systems studied, although the reverse trend was expected when assuming the chromatographic behaviour of solute compounds to be controlled by the “sieving effect”. The comparison of the behaviour on Sephadex G gels with that on CM-cellulose revealed that the predominant mechanism involved is not the sieving effect, but ion-exchange and/or hydrophobic interaction.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Crystal Structure of a Nickel(II) Schiff Base Complex Derived from Acetylacetone and Ethylenediamine

The square-planar nickel (II) complex of composition [Ni(bae)]·½H₂O (1) [where H₂bae is bis(acetylacetone)ethylenediamine] has been synthesized by [2 + 1] template condensation of acetylacetone and ethylenediamine in the presence of NiCl₂·6H₂O and characterized. An X-ray structure determination of the complex has been completed. Average Ni-N and Ni-O distances are, respectively, 1.86(2) Å and 1.849(14) Å. N···N bite distance and bite angle are 2.627(6) Å and 87.2(2)°, respectively, for the five-membered chelate ring. The water molecule forms hydrogen bonds with O atoms of two complex molecules.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and DNA Binding Studies of a Nickel(II) Complex Containing the 1,3‐Bis(1‐propylbenzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐oxapropane

A complex of formula [Ni(pobb)₂](pic)₂, (pobb = 1,3‐bis(1‐propylbenzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐oxapropane, pic = 2,4,6‐trinitrophenol), has been synthesized and structurally characterized by physico‐chemical and spectroscopic methods. The crystals crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, a = 25.766(11) Å, b = 14.943(7) Å, c = 19.543(14) Å, α = 90°, β = 129.722(4)°, γ = 90°, Z = 4. The coordination environment around nickel(II) atom can be described as a distorted octahedral geometry. The interactions of the ligand pobb and the nickel (II) complex with calf thymus DNA (CT‐DNA) are investigated by using electronic absorption titration, ethidium bromide‐DNA displacement experiments and viscosity measurements. The experimental evidence indicated the compounds interact with calf thymus DNA through intercalation.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of an Oxalato-Bridged Dinickel(II) Complex Containing A MacrocyClic Ligand

A new binuclear nickel(II) complex [Ni(µ-C₂O₄)(rac-cth)₂](ClO₄)₂[rac-cth = rac -5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane] has been prepared and its structure determined. It consists of centrosymmetric [Ni( µ -C₂O₄)(rac-cth)₂]²⁺ cations separated by perchlorate anions, with a centre of symmetry lying in the middle of the C-C bond of the bis-bidentate oxalate bridge. The tetraazamacrocycle adopts a folded conformation around the nickel atom, which is six coordinated in a distorted octahedral arrangement. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (4-300 K) suggest a moderate intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction between the metal ions ( J = -34.0 cm^-1, g = 2.07)

Each nickel(II) atom in 1 and 2 is in an octahedral coordination, while each copper(II) atom in 3 and 4 is in a square pyramidal coordination. There exists crystallographic inversion centre symmetry in each of the complexes.

Proton Controlled Supramolecular Assembly: A Comparative Structural Study of Bis(2-guanidinobenzimidazolo)nickel(II) with Bis(2-guanidinobenzimidazole)nickel(II) Nitrate and 2-guanidinobenzimidazole

Abstract

Previously studies have shown that when 2-guanidinobenzimidazole complexes with a number of transition metal ions it tautomerises so that, in contrast to the free ligand structure, no intermolecular hydrogen bonding between bound ligands occurs. In the present study it is demonstrated that ligand deprotonation to yield bis(2-guanidinobenzimidazolo)nickel(II) restores much of the original hydrogen bonding capability of the uncomplexed ligand. The structure of this neutral complex is compared to the previously reported structure of its diprotonated derivative, bis(2-guanidinobenzimidazole)nickel(II) nitrate, as well as to the structure of the uncomplexed ligand. In contrast to the dicationic species, the neutral complex exists in two enantiomeric forms that assemble to form an extended supramolecular lattice, containing channels through its structure. The walls of the channels are made up of ‘strings’ of complex molecules and are held in position by hydrogen bonding between the bound ligands and dimethyl sulfoxide (solvent) molecules as well as water molecules. Some of the solvent molecules lie within the channels and some outside. The hydrogen bonding motif responsible for chain formation differs from that found in the free ligand structure.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Fluorescence of A 1-D Polymeric Zinc(Ii) Complex with Pyrazine-2-Carboxylate as a Bridging Ligand

A one-dimensional chain complex {[Zn(pyz)(SCN)(H₂O)₂]·H₂O}_∞ (pyz = pyrazine-2-carboxylic anion) has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in an orthorhombic system and the space group is P2 ₁2₁2₁ with a = 6.873(3), b = 9.847(4), c = 16.466(7) Å. The Zn(II) ion is located in a distorted octahedral environment with two oxygen atoms O(3) and O(4) from terminal ligands of two water molecules, another oxygen atom O(1) from the carboxylate group of pyz, and three nitrogen atoms, N(1), and N(2A) from two different pyz and N(3) from a terminal thiocyanate anion, in which a chelated five-membered ring is formed by coordination of O(1) and N(1) to the Zn(1) atom. Therefore, an infinite zigzag chain consisting of Zn(II) ions and pyz anions is constructed and the chains are linked together with hydrogen bonding from coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules. The fluorescence spectra for the bridging ligand Na(pyz) and the complex were measured at room temperature in aqueous solution and in the solid state.     

Synthesis,Infrared Spectroscopic,and Cyclic Voltammetric Studies on 1,10-Phenanthroline and 2,2′ -Bipyridine Adducts of Bis(4-morpholinecarbodithioato-S,S′)zinc(II) and Single-Crystal Structure Determination of (2,2′ -Bipyridine)bis(4-morpholinecarbodithioato-S,S′) zinc(II)

Abstract

(1,10-Phenanthroline)bis(4-morpholinecarbodithioato-S,S′)zinc(II), [Zn(mdtc)₂(1,10-phen)] ( 1 ) and (2,2′ -bipyridine)bis(4-morpholinecarbodithioato-S,S′) zinc(II), [Zn(mdtc)₂(bipy)] ( 2 ) adducts were prepared, and the crystal structure of 2 is reported. The Zn-S distances in 2 are longer than those in [Zn(dtc)₂](dtc = dithiocarbamate) complexes. The acceptance of an additional neutral ligand by the tetrahedral dithiocarbamato complex of zinc to form an octahedral adduct causes an increase in the Zn-S bond lengths and a consequent lowering of the S-Zn-S bite angle. The cyclic voltammetric study on the complexes shows an increase of electron density on the central metal ion in the adducts compared to Zn(mdtc)₂. The use of HMDE as a working electrode in the CV studies indicate the involvement of Hg in complex formation, which is otherwise absent with a platinum working electrode. The thioureide C-N distance of 1.330 ( 4 ) Å in compound 2 is in line with the ν _C?N observed at 1465 cm^?1.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Polymeric Benzimidazole Complex of Mn(II) Bridged by Succinate

The title complex has been prepared and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The Mn (II) complex is seven coordinate with two benzimidazole (bimid)ligands in axial positions and two succinate and one bimid ligands in the equatorial plane. The succinate bridges Mn (II) atoms to form polymeric chains, linked by intermolecular H-bonding. Free bimid molecules occur in the crystal structure; they link Mn (II) complexes with H-bonds involving N atoms. Aromatic stacking between bimid rings is observed, resulting in a gauche confirmation of succinate in the structure. The IR spectrum is assigned based on the crystal structure. The difference of 139cm^-1 between symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of carboxyl groups is in line with seven coordination at the Mn (II) atom.     

Nickel(II) derivatives of N-benzyliminodiacetate(2−) ligands,with and without imidazole: Synthesis,crystal structure and properties

In an attempt to prepare binary and ternary compounds, we have obtained two molecular complexes [Ni(MEBIDA or MOBIDA)(H₂O)₃]·nH₂O (n = 0 or 1) and two iso-type salts [Ni(Him)₆][Ni(MEBIDA or MOBIDA)₂]·4H₂O [MEBIDA = N-(p-methylbenzyl)iminodiacetate(2−) and MOBIDA = N-(p-methoxybenzyl)iminodiacetate(2−) ligands, Him = imidazole]. Our results are discussed with regard to related copper(II) and nickel(II) compounds. The reasons for which these chelating ligands produce nickel(II) salts instead of ternary compounds remain unclear since other iminodiacetate-like ligands give true ternary Ni(II) compounds with imidazole and other N-heterocyclic ligands.
