Novel Complexes [M(DMF)6][Mo6Br8(NCS)6] (M = Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+): Synthesis,Structure Determination,and Properties

A series of novel complexes [M(DMF)₆][Mo₆Br₈(NCS)₆] (M = Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Cd²⁺) was synthesized. Compounds with M = Co and Mn were examined using X-ray diffraction analysis and found to be isostructural. A cobalt-containing complex was used to illustrate their essential structural features. The NCS ligands are coordinated through the nitrogen atom. The IR spectra of all the compounds obtained correlate well with the X-ray diffraction data. When heated, the complexes release all of their DMF molecules to give MMo₆Br₈(NCS)₆ salts (TGA data). The magnetic properties of the compounds indicate a weak interaction between the paramagnetic cations.     

Electron capture dissociation and collision-induced dissociation of metal ion (Ag+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, and Fe3+) complexes of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers

The electron capture dissociation (ECD) and collision-induced dissociation (CID) of complexes of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers with metal ions Ag⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Fe²⁺, and Fe³⁺ were determined by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Complexes were of the form [PD + M + mH]⁵⁺ where PD = generation two PAMAM dendrimer with amidoethanol surface groups, M = metal ion, m = 2−4. Complementary information regarding the site and coordination chemistry of the metal ions can be obtained from the two techniques. The results suggest that complexes of Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ are coordinated via both core tertiary amines, whereas coordination of Ag⁺ involves a single core tertiary amine. The Zn²⁺ and Fe²⁺ complexes do not appear to involve coordination by the dendrimer core.     

Interaction of cysteine with Cu2+ and group IIb (Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+) metal cations: a theoretical study

The structure and energetics of complexes obtained upon interaction between cysteine and Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Cu2+ cations were studied using quantum chemical density functional theory calculations with the 6-311++G** orbital basis set and relativistic pseudopotentials for the cations. Different coordination sites for metal ions on several cysteine conformers were considered. In their lowest energy complexes with the amino acid, the Zn2+ and Cd2+ cations appear to be three-coordinated to carbonyl oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur atoms, whereas the Cu2+ and Hg2+ ions are coordinated to both the carbonyl oxygen and sulfur atoms of one of the zwitterion forms of the amino acid. Bonds of metal cations with the coordination sites are mainly ionic except those established with sulfur, which show a small covalent character that become most significant when Cu2+ and Hg2+ are involved. The order of metal ion affinity proposed is Cu>Zn>Hg>Cd.     

Effect of metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and water coordination on the structure of glycine and zwitterionic glycine

Interactions between metal ions and amino acids are common both in solution and in the gas phase. Here, the effect of metal ions and water on the structure of glycine is examined. The effect of metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and water on structures of Gly.Mn+(H2O)m and GlyZwitt.Mn+(H2O)m (m = 0, 2, 5) complexes have been determined theoretically by employing the hybrid B3LYP exchange-correlation functional and using extended basis sets. Selected calculations were carried out also by means of CBS-QB3 model chemistry. The interaction enthalpies, entropies, and Gibbs energies of eight complexes Gly.Mn+ (Mn+ = Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) were determined at the B3LYP density functional level of theory. The computed Gibbs energies DeltaG degrees are negative and span a rather broad energy interval (from -90 to -1100 kJ mol(-1)), meaning that the ions studied form strong complexes. The largest interaction Gibbs energy (-1076 kJ mol(-1)) was computed for the NiGly2+ complex. Calculations of the molecular structure and relative stability of the Gly.Mn+(H2O)m and GlyZwitt.Mn+(H2O)m (Mn+ = Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+; m = 0, 2, and 5) systems indicate that in the complexes with monovalent metal cations the most stable species are the NO coordinated metal cations in non-zwitterionic glycine. Divalent cations Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ prefer coordination via the OO bifurcated bonds of the zwitterionic glycine. Stepwise addition of two and five water molecules leads to considerable changes in the relative stability of the hydrated species. Addition of two water molecules at the metal ion in both Gly.Mn+ and GlyZwitt.Mn+ complexes reduces the relative stability of metallic complexes of glycine. For Mn+ = Li+ or Na+, the addition of five water molecules does not change the relative order of stability. In the Gly.K+ complex, the solvation shell of water molecules around K+ ion has, because of the larger size of the potassium cation, a different structure with a reduced number of hydrogen-bonded contacts. This results in a net preference (by 10.3 kJ mol(-1)) of the GlyZwitt.K+H2O5 system. Addition of five water molecules to the glycine complexes containing divalent cations Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ results in a net preference for non-zwitterionic glycine species. The computed relative Gibbs energies are quite high (-10 to -38 kJ mol(-1)), and the NO coordination is preferred in the Gly.Mn+(H2O)5 (Mn+ = Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) complexes over the OO coordination.     

Five metal imidazole dicarboxylate-based compounds comprising M3(MIDC)2 entities (M = Zn2+, Co2+, Mn2+): syntheses,structures and properties

Five metal imidazole dicarboxylate-based compounds, {[Zn₃(MIDC)₂(4,4′-bipy)₃](4,4′-bipy)·8H₂O}_n (1), {[Co₃(MIDC)₂(4,4′-bipy)₃](4,4′-bipy)·6H₂O}_n (2), {[Co₃(MIDC)₂(py)₂(H₂O)₂]}_n (3), {[Mn₆(MIDC)₄(py)₅(H₂O)₄]}_n (4), and {[Mn₃(MIDC)₂(Phen)₃(H₂O)₂]}_n (5) (H₃MIDC = 2-methyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid; 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine; py = pyridine; Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. We control the coordination modes of H₃MIDC via hydrazine and obtained a series of coordination compounds containing honeycomb-like [M₃(MIDC)₂]_n layers. We also investigated the effects of different neutral terminal or bridging ligands on [M₃(MIDC)₂]_n layers. Coplanar [M₃(MIDC)₂]_n layers and 4,4-bipy were used to construct 3-D frameworks of 1 and 2. Puckered [M₃(MIDC)₂]_n layers were found in 3–5; 4 is the first [M₃(L)₂]_n layer structure with two crests and troughs during each period (L = imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid or its analog). Compound 5 is the first puckered [M₃(L)₂]_n layer structure decorated by chelating neutral ligands. Compound 1 exhibits weak blue photoluminescence in the solid state at room temperature. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements of 2–5 indicate strong antiferromagnetic interactions.     

Double layered, one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of M-TiO2 (M = Fe3+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Co2+) and their application in photocatalysis

A double layered,one-pot hydrothermal method was adopted in this work to prepare transition metal ions(Fe3+,Ni2+,Cu2+and Co2+)doped TiO2.The morphology and chemical properties of TiO2and the status of metal ions were characterized with XRD,TEM,BET,UV-Vis and XPS analysis.TEM images show that the obtained TiO2was very uniform with an average particle size of 10.4 nm.XPS,TEM and XRD results show that transitional metals were doped onto TiO2in the form of ions.Photocatalytic decomposition of oxalic acid under UV illumination and methylene blue degradation under visible light on these materials were conducted,respectively.The results reveal that Cu2+-TiO2and Co2+-TiO2showed a highest activity under UV and visible light illumination,respectively,and they were both more active than commercial P25 TiO2.With this special design of double layers,the hydrolysis of titanium precursor in the system with water can be easily controlled and metal ions are simply doped.This strategy can be further applied to synthesize metal ion doped TiO2using various metal precursors with controllable amounts,and thus lead to better optimization of highly active photocatalyst.     

Effect of metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and water coordination on the structure and properties of L-arginine and zwitterionic L-arginine

Interactions between metal ions and amino acids are common both in solution and in the gas phase. The effect of metal ions and water on the structure of L-arginine is examined. The effects of metal ions (Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), and Zn(2+)) and water on structures of Arg x M(H2O)m , m = 0, 1 complexes have been determined theoretically by employing the density functional theories (DFT) and using extended basis sets. Of the three stable complexes investigated, the relative stability of the gas-phase complexes computed with DFT methods (with the exception of K(+) systems) suggests metallic complexes of the neutral L-arginine to be the most stable species. The calculations of monohydrated systems show that even one water molecule has a profound effect on the relative stability of individual complexes. Proton dissociation enthalpies and Gibbs energies of arginine in the presence of the metal cations Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), and Zn(2+) were also computed. Its gas-phase acidity considerably increases upon chelation. Of the Lewis acids investigated, the strongest affinity to arginine is exhibited by the Cu(2+) cation. The computed Gibbs energies DeltaG(o) are negative, span a rather broad energy interval (from -150 to -1500 kJ/mol), and are appreciably lowered upon hydration.     

Spectrophotometric and conductometric studies of the thermodynamics complexation of Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Pb2+ and Cu2+ ions with 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane ligand in acetonitrile solution

The complexation reaction between 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane ligand (Kryptofix5) and Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions were studied conductometrically in acetonitrile solution. The formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes were calculated from the computer fitting of the molar conductance and absorbance measurements in various mole ratios. The enthalpy and entropy changes of the complexation reactions were derived from titration conductometry in acetonitrile at various temperatures. At 25 °C, the stability of the resulting complexes varied in the order Pb²⁺ > Zn²⁺ > Cu²⁺> Co²⁺> Ni²⁺.

Anion-dependent formation of helicates versus mesocates of triple-stranded M2L3 (M = Fe2+, Cu2+) complexes

A series of dinuclear triple-stranded complexes, [Fe(2)L(3)?X]X(6) [X = BF(4)(-) (1), ClO(4)(-) (2)], [Fe(2)L(3)?SO(4)](2)(SO(4))(5) (3), [Fe(2)L(3)?Br](BPh(4))(6) (4), Fe(2)L(3)(NO(3))Br(6) (5), and [Cu(2)L(3)?NO(3)](NO(3))(6) (6), which incorporate a central cavity to encapsulate different anions, have been synthesized via the self-assembly of iron(II) or copper(II) salts with the N,N'-bis[5-(2,2'-bipyridyl)methyl]imidazolium bromide (LBr) ligand. X-ray crystallographic studies (for 1-4 and 6) and elemental analyses confirmed the cagelike triple-stranded structure. The anionic guest is bound in the cage and shows remarkable influence on the outcome of the self-assembly process with regard to the configuration at the metal centers. The mesocates (with different configurations at the two metal centers) have formed in the presence of large tetrahedral anions, while helicates (with the same configuration at both metal centers) were obtained when using the relatively smaller spherical or trigonal-planar anions Br(-) or NO(3)(-).     

Remove of Heavy Metals(Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+) in Water Through Modified Diatomite

At present, heavy metal pollution has become a major environmental problem, influencing the survival of human and other creatures. Developing heavy metal ion adsorbents, which are environment friendly, of low cost and good performance is one of the effective means to solve heavy metal pollution. Rich low-grade diatomite mineral, as raw material, was modified with calcium carbonate to improve the adsorption properties of diatomite for heavy metal ions. The effects of dosage(m), pH, adsorbing time(t), temperature(T) and concentration of adsorbent(c) on the removal rate of heavy metal ions(Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺) were studied. The results show that under the suitable conditions, T=15 ℃, c=1.5 mmol/L, m=10 g/L, t=60 min, in a weak acid environment, the removal effect of the four kinds of metal ions by modified diatomite is the best.     

Synthesis, Cu(II) complexation, 64Cu-labeling and biological evaluation of cross-bridged cyclam chelators with phosphonate pendant arms

A new class of cross-bridged cyclam-based macrocycles featuring phosphonate pendant groups has been developed. 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1,8-di(methanephosphonic acid) (CB-TE2P, 1) and 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1-(methanephosphonic acid)-8-(methanecarboxylic acid) (CB-TE1A1P, 2) have been synthesized and have been shown to readily form neutral copper(II) complexes at room temperature as the corresponding dianions. Both complexes showed high kinetic inertness to demetallation and crystal structures confirmed complete encapsulation of copper(II) ion within each macrocycle's cleft-like structure. Unprecedented for cross-bridged cyclam derivatives, both CB-TE2P (1) and CB-TE1A1P (2) can be radiolabeled with (64)Cu at room temperature in less than 1 h with specific activities >1 mCi μg(-1). The in vivo behavior of both (64)Cu-CB-TE2P and (64)Cu-CB-TE1A1P were investigated through biodistribution studies using healthy male Lewis rats. Both new compounds showed rapid clearance with similar or lower accumulation in non-target organs/tissues when compared to other copper chelators including CB-TE2A, NOTA and Diamsar.     

Formation of MSeO4(aq) complexes (M2+ = Mg2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Cd2+) studied as a function of temperature by affinity capillary electrophoresis

Complexation of divalent cations (Mg²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺) by selenate ligand was studied by ACE (UV indirect detection) in 0.1 mol/L NaNO₃ ionic strength solutions at various temperatures (15, 25, 35, 45 and 55°C). For each solution, a unique peak was observed as a result of a fast equilibrium between the free ion and the complex (labile systems). The migration time corresponding to this peak changed as a function of the solution composition, namely the free and complexed metal concentrations, according to the complexation reactions. The results confirmed the formation of a unique 1:1 complex for each cation. The thermodynamic parameters were fitted to the experimental data at 0.1 mol/L ionic strength: (25°C) = ?(6.5 ± 0.3), ?(7.5 ± 0.3), ?(7.7 ± 0.3), ?(7.7 ± 0.3), and –(8.1 ± 0.3) kJ/mol and = 2.5 ± 0.2, 4.7 ± 0.4, 4.5 ± 0.6, 8.4 ± 1.1, and 7.2 ± 0.6 kJ/mol for M²⁺ = Mg²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Cd²⁺, respectively. Complexes with alkaline earth and transition metal cations could be distinguished by their relative stabilities. The effect of the ionic medium was treated using the specific ion interaction theory and the thermodynamic parameters at infinite dilution were compared to previously published data on metal–selenate, metal–sulfate, and metal–chromate complexes.     

Heteroscorpionate-based Co2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ complexes: coordination behavior, aerobic oxidation, and hydrogen sulfide detection

The coordination behavior and reactivity of the phenol-substituted bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands, (3,5-(t)Bu(2)-2-phenol)bis(3,5-Me(2)-pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L1-H) and 2-phenol-bis(3,5-Me(2)-pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L2-H) have been investigated in the metal complexes (L1-H)CoCl(2) (1), (L1-H)ZnCl(2) (2), (L3)CuCl(2) (3), (L2)(2)Co(2)Cl(2) (4) (L2-H)ZnCl(2) (5), and (L2-H)CuCl(2)·H(2)O (6). The mononuclear tetrahedral cobalt complex 1 was isolated and fully characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction and (1)H NMR spectroscopy and relaxometry. The neutral L1-H is κ(2)-coordinated to the metal center whereas the not coordinated hydroxy-phenyl group is involved in extended intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Aerobic oxidation of L1-H was observed in the reaction of this ligand with CuCl(2) to yield the para-quinone derivative L3 (L3 = 2-(t)Bu-6-(bis(3,5-Me(2)-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione). Upon oxidation L3 resulted κ(2)-coordinated to the tetrahedral Cu(II) metal center, affording 3. The reaction of L2-H with CoCl(2)·6H(2)O produced the elimination of 1 equiv of hydrochloric acid and the formation of the binuclear complex 4 in which one cobalt is in an octahedral environment featuring two κ(3)-coordinated deprotonated ligands whereas the second cobalt center is detected in tetrahedral coordination geometry, bound to the octahedral cobalt via two phenoxo bridging moieties. Interestingly L2-H, (3-(t)Bu-2-phenol)bis(3,5-Me(2)-pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L4-H), or (5-(t)Bu-2-phenol)bis(3,5-Me(2)-pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L5-H) were not oxidized in the reaction with CuCl(2). The reaction of the ligand L2-H with ZnCl(2) and CuCl(2)·2H(2)O yielded the κ(2)-coordinated tetrahedral complex 5 and the square planar complex 6, respectively. The application of the cobalt complex 1 as molecular dosimeter for H(2)S was explored and compared to that of the zinc analogue 2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and NMR experiments to assess the possible mechanisms of H(2)S detection by both 1 and 2 are also described.     

Study of the selection mechanism of heavy metal (Pb2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Cd2+) adsorption on clinoptilolite

The study was carried out on the sorption of heavy metals (Ni2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+) under static conditions from single- and multicomponent aqueous solutions by raw and pretreated clinoptilolite. The sorption has an ion-exchange nature and consists of three stages, i.e., the adsorption on the surface of microcrystals, the inversion stage, and the moderate adsorption in the interior of the microcrystal. The finer clinoptilolite fractions sorb higher amounts of the metals due to relative enriching by the zeolite proper and higher cleavage. The slight difference between adsorption capacity of the clinoptilolite toward lead, copper, and cadmium from single- and multicomponent solutions may testify to individual sorption centers of the zeolite for each metal. The decrease of nickel adsorption from multicomponent solutions is probably caused by the propinquity of its sorption forms to the other metals and by competition. The maximum sorption capacity toward Cd2+ is determined as 4.22 mg/g at an initial concentration of 80 mg/L and toward Pb2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ as 27.7, 25.76, and 13.03 mg/g at 800 mg/L. The sorption results fit well to the Langmuir and the Freundlich models. The second one is better for adsorption modeling at high metal concentrations.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New M‐Triazole Complexes (M = Co,Cu, Zn)

Three new complexes with the ligand 3,5‐diamino‐1,2,4‐triazole (Hdatrz), [Co₃(μ₂‐Hdatrz)₆(H₂O)₆]·(NO₃)₈·4H₂O ( 1 ), [Cu₃(μ₂‐Hdatrz)₄(μ₂‐Cl)₂(H₂O)₂Cl₂]·Cl₂·4H₂O·2C₂H₅OH ( 2 ) and {[Zn₂(μ₂‐SO₄) (μ₃‐datrz)₂]·2H₂O}_n ( 3 ) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 has a linear trinuclear mixed‐valence cobalt structure with six neutral triazole ligands in the N(1), N(2)‐bridging mode. The central cobalt atom, Co(1), is coordinated to six nitrogen atoms (octahedral) whereas the terminal cobalt atom, Co(2), is coordinated to an N₃O₃ moiety (octahedral). In complex 1 , the uudd cyclic water clusters, nitrate anions and the trimeric cations are linked to a supramolecular structure. Complex 2 features a linear trinuclear copper(II) core, with four N(1), N(2)‐bridging triazole ligands and two chlorido bridges. The central copper atom is coordinated to an N₄Cl₂ moiety (octahedral) whereas the terminal copper is coordinated to an N₂Cl₂O moiety (square‐pyramidal). In complex 2 , tetrahedral hydrogen bonding interactions play an important role to form a supramolecular network. Complex 3 exhibits a polymeric structure, with N(1), N(2), N(4)‐bridging triazolate ligands and sulfate bridges, in which zinc is coordinated to an N₃O moiety (tetrahedral). In complex 3 , water molecules and sulfate anions construct the sulfate‐water supramolecular chain with hydrogen bonding interactions. In addition, the complexes were investigated by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopic, and thermogravimetric measurements.
