Synthesis and properties of one-dimensional Ni(II) and Ni(II)Cu(II) complexes linked by hydrogen bond

Four dithiooxalato (Dto) bridged one-dimensional Ni(ll) and Ni(ll)Cu(ll) complexes (Me₆[14]dieneN₄)Ni₂(Dto)₂) (1), (Me₆[14]dieneN₄)CuNi(Dto)₂ (2), (Me₆[14]aneN₄)Ni₂(Dto)₂ (3), and (Me₆[14]aneN₄)CuNi(Dto)₂ (4), were synthesized. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV and ESR spectra. The crystal structure of complex3 was determined. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 2. 2425(4) nm,b = 1.0088(2) nm,c= 1.4665(3) nm, β= 125.32(3)δ Z = 4;R = 0.076, R_w = 0.079. In the complex, Ni(1) coordinates four sulphur atoms of two Dto ligands in plane square environment. Ni(2) lies in the center of macrocyclic ligand. For Dto ligand, two sulphur atoms coordinate Ni(1), and O(1) coordinates Ni(2) and forms weak coordination bond. O(2) is linked to N(2) of macrocyclic ligand through hydrogen bond.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic, and thermal properties of some azomethine complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), and Pt(II)

Four polydentate azomehines and their mono- and binuclear Pt(II), Cu(II), and Ni(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The resulting complexes were characterized by FTIR, magnetic measurements, elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, and thermal analysis. Electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements sustain the proposed distorted square-planar structures for the copper complexes. The electronic spectra display the characteristic pattern of square-planar stereochemistry for the other complexes. The thermal analyses have evidenced the thermal intervals of stability and also the thermodynamic effects that accompany them. Azomethine complexes have a similar thermal behavior for the selected metal ions. The decomposition processes as water elimination, chloride anion removal as well as degradation of the organic ligands were observed.     

Studies on some Ni(II) and Zn(II) diaminomonocarboxylate complexes

pH-metric, calorimetric, NMR and spectro-photometric studies were carried out on the Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes of 2,3-diaminopropionic acid (dapa), 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (daba), 2,5-diaminopentanoic acid or ornithine (Orn) and 2,6-diaminohexanoic acid or lysine (Lys).It is concluded that the maximum number of coordinated ligands (with the exception of totally deprotonated Orn) is three in the case of Ni(II), but only two in the Zn(II) complexes. The ω-amino groups of dapa, daba and Orn take part in the coordination in the Ni(II) complexes. Hence, with Ni(II) both “diamine type” and “glycine-like” complexes are formed. The tendency to “diamine-like” coordination increases from Orn to dapa, so much so that dapa behaves much rather as a C-substituted 1,2-diamino ethane than a substituted glycine. Only Lys is coordinated to the Ni(II) ion exclusively in a “glycine-like” manner.Zn(II) complexes were studied only to a pH value of 9 (because of precipitation). In this pH region the terminal NH₂ groups take part in the coordination only in the cases of dapa and daba. With Orn and Lys “glycine-like”parent and mixed hydroxo complexes are formed.     

Ni(II) complexes of some polyfunctional n-Naphthylideneamino acids

A new series of amino acid Schiff base Ni(II) complexes of 2-hydroxy- 1 -naphthaldehyde with glycine,l-alanine,l-valine,l-leucine,dl-isoleucine,dl-norleucine,l-serine andl-aspartic acid has been prepared by constituent combination. The structure of the complexes is investigated by microanalysts, conductance, electronic and IR spectral measurements. It is concluded that the bivalent anions of the Schiff bases coordinated to Ni(II) as a tetradentate ligand (ONOO), in the case of the aspartic acid moiety, or as a tridentate ligand (ONO) in the case of the other amino acid moieties. The structure of the Ni(II) complexes is suggested to be square planar.     

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of some platinum(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes

The synthesis and mesomorphic properties of a homologous series of N-(2-hydroxy-4-n-alkoxybenzylidene)-4'-n-decylphenylanilines and their platinum(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes are reported. All the ligands and their metal chelates exhibit enantiotropic mesophases, predominantly smectic A and smectic C phases. The transition temperatures and enthalpies have been determined for most of the compounds. The platinum(II) complexes have higher melting points and mesophase thermal stabilities. However, the oxovanadium(IV) complexes have a wider thermal range for the mesophase. Both platinum(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes containing only a chain on the biphenyl moiety exhibit a nematic phase.     

Synthesis and characterization of two Ni(II) complexes with furfural s-methylthiosemicarbazone

Synthesis of two Ni(II) complexes with furfural S-methylthiosemicarbazone (HL) of the formula [Ni(HL)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ (A) and [Ni(HL)₂(ClO₄)₂] (B) are reported. Compound A was obtained from an ethanolic solution of Ni(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O and HL, whilst compound B was produced by heating compound A to 378 K. An X-ray analysis of the complex A showed that it has a trans(H₂O)-trans(HL) octahedral configuration in which HL behaves as a bidentate (NN) ligand. On the basis of the IR and electronic spectra as well as the magnetism, it was found that the compound B has also an octahedral configuration in which, HL and ClO₄ groups, are coordinated.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties of oxime-bridged polynuclear Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes

Two new polynuclear complexes [Ni6(amox)6(mu6-O)(mu3-OH)2](Cl2).6H2O and [Cu3(amox)3(mu3-OH)(mu3-Cl)](ClO4).4H2O (amox- = anion of 4-amino-4-methyl-2-pentanone oxime) have been synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. The Ni(II) complex contains a novel Chinese-lantern-like Ni6 cage centered by an oxo ion. It contains the nearest octahedral Ni(II)...Ni(II) separation (<2.8 A) and exhibits strong antiferromagnetic properties. The Cu(II) complex has a cyclic trinuclear copper(II) core bridged by both mu3-OH(-) and mu3-Cl(-) ions. The magnetic susceptibilities of both antiferromagnetic complexes were fitted by using approximate models.     

Synthesis, characterization and some properties of amide-linked porphyrin-ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridine) complexes

A new molecular dyad, comprised of a zinc-porphyrin and a ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridine) complex linked through an amide bond has been synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C NMR, UV-vis, mass-spectrometry and elemental analysis. The electrochemistry as well as the steady-state emission properties were investigated. The redox behavior of the dyad exhibits a favorable reversible characteristic. Substantial quenching of porphyrin emission was found when the Q band of 5 and 5-Zn was selectively photoexcited. This observation suggests a quenching mechanism with possible intramolecular electron transfer or energy transfer between the Ru(bpy)₃ moiety and the porphyrin free-base or Zn porphyrin moieties.     

Synthesis,physico-chemical characterization and bioevaluation of Ni(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II) complexes with 1-(o-tolyl)biguanide: Antimicrobial and antitumor studies

New complexes of type [M(tbg)₂]Cl₂ [tbg = 1-(o-tolyl)biguanide; M = Ni(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II)] were synthesized and characterized to develop new biologically active compounds. The features of the complexes were assigned from microanalytical and thermal data. The NMR, FT-IR, and UV-Vis spectra were established by comparison with HtbgCl. All complexes exhibit a square-planar geometry resulting from the chelating behavior of tbg. The HtbgCl and [Ni(tbg)₂]Cl₂ complexes were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The HtbgCl species crystallize in the monoclinic C2/c spatial group, while the Ni(II) complex adopts an orthorhombic Pna2₁ spatial group. The structure is stabilized by a complex hydrogen bonds network. The in vitro antimicrobial assays revealed improved antimicrobial activity for complexes in comparison with the ligand against both planktonic and biofilm embedded microbial cells. The most efficient compound, showing the largest spectrum of antimicrobial activity, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungal strains, in both planktonic and biofilm growth states was the Pd(II) complex, followed by the Pt(II) complex. The Pt(II) compound exhibited the most significant antiproliferative activity on the human cervical cancer SiHa cell line, inducing a cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase.     

Synthesis,physico-chemical investigations and biological studies on Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with p -amino acetophenone isonicotinoyl hydrazone

Complexes of the type [M(painh)(H₂O)₂X], where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II); X = Cl₂ or SO₄; painh = p-amino acetophenone isonicotinoyl hydrazone, have been synthesized and characterized by spectral and other physico-chemical techniques. The synthesized complexes are stable powders, insoluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and diethyl ether, and are non-electrolytes. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) studies show that the organic ligand decomposes exothermically through various steps. TGA and Infrared (IR) spectral studies indicate the presence of coordinated water in the metal complexes. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectra suggest that Mn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes are paramagnetic with octahedral geometry, whereas Cu(II) complexes have distorted octahedral geometry. The neutral bidentate ligand bonds through >C=O and >C=N–groups in all the complexes. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectra in the solid state show axial symmetry for [Cu(painh)(H₂O)₂(SO₄)] and elongated rhombic symmetry for [Cu(painh)(H₂O)₂Cl₂], suggesting an elongated tetragonally-distorted octahedral structure for both complexes. X-ray powder diffraction parameters for two complexes correspond to tetragonal and orthorhombic crystal lattices. The metal complexes show fair antifungal activity against Rizoctonia sp., Aspergillus sp., Stemphylium sp., and Penicillium sp. and appreciable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas sp. and Escherichia coli.     

Synthesis,structures and thermal properties of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes containing diethylenetriamine and nicotinate ligands

The syntheses and crystal structures of four new divalent transition metal complexes of the types [Cu₂(dien)₂(nic)](ClO₄)₃ · MeOH (nic = anion of nicotinic acid; dien = diethylenetriamine), 1; [Cu(dien)(nic)]₂(nic)₂, 2; [Cu(dien)(nic)]₂(BF₄)₂ · 2MeOH, 3 and [Ni(dien)(nic)(H₂O)]₄(NO₃)₄ · 2MeOH, 4, are reported, which were prepared by the reactions of diethylenetriamine and nicotinic acid with Cu(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O, Cu(OAc)₂ · H₂O, Cu(BF₄)₂ · 6H₂O and Ni(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O in MeOH, respectively. These complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method and elemental analyses. In the cation of complex 1, one nicotinate ligand bridges two Cu(II) metal centers through the pyridyl nitrogen atom and one of the carboxylate oxygen atoms. The cations of complexes 2 and 3 form the twelve-membered metallocycles, involving two Cu(II) ions that are bridged by two nicotinate ligands. The cation of complex 4 forms a tetranuclear cage with the four Ni(II) metal centers bridged by four nicotinate ligands and each Ni(II) metal center adopts the distorted octahedral geometry. Their thermal properties have been investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).

Synthesis, characterization and properties of some metal(II) 5-(nicotinamido)isophthalate complexes

Four new complexes, {[M(NAIP)(H₂O)₄]·2H₂O}_n (M = Co (1), M = Mn (2)), {[Zn(NAIP)]·0.5H₂O}_n (3) and {Cd(NAIP)(H₂O)₂]·1.5H₂O}_n (4) [H₂NAIP = 5-(nicotinamido)-isophthalic acid] have been prepared and structurally characterized. The ligand NAIP²⁻ exhibits different coordination modes and leads to the formation of various architectures. Complexes 1 and 2 show a one-dimensional (1D) zigzag chain, where hydrogen-bonding interactions further link these chains to a three dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure. For complex 3, a 3D coordination network with a four-coordinated Zn(II) and NAIP²⁻ as a SBU was observed. Complex 4 presents a three-connected 2-fold interpenetrated 3D network with a (10, 3)-b net topology. Their luminescent and magnetic properties have been investigated in the solid state.     

Synthesis and physico-chemical studies on cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of benzidine diacetyloxime

The synthesis of benzidine diacetyloxime (H₂L) and its cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes is described. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic moments, i.r., u.v.–vis. spectra, t.g.a. and e.s.r. measurements. I.r. spectra show that H₂L behaves as a neutral or dinegative ligand depending on the nature of the metal salts. The molar conductances of the complexes in DMF are commensurate with their non-ionic character. The e.s.r. spectrum of the solid copper(II) complex (7) at room temperature shows broad signal, indicating spin-exchange interactions between copper(II) ions. However, in TMHF solution at 77 K, it shows an axial type ground state with mixed ionic-covalent bond character.     

Synthesis and physico-chemical studies of metal(II) complexes with diacetyl benzaldehyde acyldihydrazones and their bio-activity

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with diacetyl benzaldehyde oxalic acid dihydrazone (dbodh), CH₃COC(CH₃)=NNHCOCONHN=CHC₆H₅ and diacetyl benzaldehyde malonic acid dihydrazone (dbmdh), CH₃COC(CH₃)=NNHCOCH₂CONHN=CHC₆H₅ of general composition [M(dbodh)Cl]Cl and [M(dbmdh)Cl]Cl were synthesized and characterized by microanalyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, UV–Vis, ESR and IR spectra and X-ray diffraction studies. The complexes are 1 : 1 electrolytes in DMF and are insoluble in water and common organic solvents. The dbodh and dbmdh are neutral tridentate ligands in most complexes and coordinate via one >C=O and two >C=N–groups. In Cu(II) complexes the ligands are pentadentate coordinating through three >C=O and two >C=N–groups. The magnetic moment values and UV–Vis spectra suggest square-planar geometry for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes and distorted octahedron for both Cu(II) complexes. The ESR spectra of Cu(II) complexes show well-defined copper hyperfine lines in DMSO solution at 120 K and exhibit d _{x ² ?y ²} as the ground state. The X-ray diffraction parameters for [Ni(dbodh)Cl]Cl and [Co(dbmdh)Cl]Cl correspond to a tetragonal crystal lattice. The complexes show significant antifungal activity against Alternaria sp., Curvularia sp. and Colletotrichum sp. and fair antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescence.

The ligand functions as monobasic SNO tridentates where the deprotonated enolic form is preferred in the coordination producing distorted octahedral complexes.

The structures of 1 and 3 were accomplished by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic investigation of 1 reveals monomeric, dicationic units in which the cobalt(II) ion is six-coordinate. The coordination sphere is formed by two N, O bidentate acetylpyridine ligands and two water molecules. The crystal structure of 3 consists of monomeric units in which the cadmium is eight-coordinate. Both the organic ligand and nitrate groups are bidentate chelators. The supramolecular solid-state architecture is sustained by π–π interactions.     

Electrophysical properties of polymers based on Ni(II) complexes

Thin-layer organometallic films synthesized from the monomer [NiSalen] have been studied. The presence of the oxidized and reduced forms of a redox polymer has been established by cyclic voltammetry and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The temperature-frequency dispersion of dielectric characteristics has been discovered, and the possible mechanisms of relaxation polarization in poly[NiSalen] on solid supports have been considered. Based on the temperature-frequency dependences of conductivity, the energy of the thermal activation of electrical conductivity is determined. The feasibility of the hopping mechanism of charge transfer in the polymer under study is discussed.
