Sol–gel synthesis of Zn-thiourea-SiO2 thin films from (EtO)3Si(CH2)3NHC(S)NHPh as molecular precursor

In order to study new and convenient sol–gel syntheses to homogeneous nanocomposites systems based on zinc sulphide clusters embedded in films of silica glass, a thiourea-functionalized silane ((EtO)₃Si(CH₂)₃NHC(S)NHPh, SilTu) was investigated as starting precursor. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), FT-IR and NMR spectroscopies clearly evidence that SilTu coordinates Zn²⁺ ions in solution through the thiourea function. Both zinc acetate (Zn(CH₃COO)₂) and zinc chloride (ZnCl₂) were used as zinc source. The SilTuZn²⁺ complex is also stable under sol–gel conditions. Alcoholic solutions of SilTu, zinc acetate and tetraethoxysilane Si(OEt)₄ (TEOS) were used to prepare the thin films by dip-coating. Transparent, homogeneous and crack-free layers were obtained under annealing up to 600 °C. The samples were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Beside ZnS formation, the presence of oxygenated zinc species was observed inside the silica matrix.     

Phenolate-bridged zinc(II) complexes relevant to biological phosphoester cleavage

Three zinc complexes based on 2,6-bis(N-2-pyridylmethyl)formimidoyl-4-methylphenolate (HL) by employing Zn(ClO₄)₂, Zn(CH₃COO)₂, and ZnCl₂ have been synthesized and investigated as functional models of phosphoesterases. The molecular structure of [{Zn₂L(µ ³-OH)(H₂O)}₂](ClO₄)₄ (1) obtained by reacting zinc perchlorate with HL was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, revealing a tetranuclear species with four zinc centers and two ligands. Two zinc ions are accommodated within the two compartments of each ligand and are bridged by an additional hydroxide leading to Zn–Zn distances of 3.1235(9) and 3.1268(9)?Å, respectively. The hydroxide is involved in an additional bridge to the second LZn₂ moiety forming a µ ³-OH. A water molecule is coordinated to two of the four zinc ions. The occurrence of a hydroxide group and of a coordinated water is relevant to the structure found in the native enzyme. The hydrolysis of the phosphoester bis(p-nitrophenol)phosphate ester (BNPP) in a mixture of DMSO and water at 50°C catalyzed by the three zinc compounds has been investigated. High hydrolytic activity was found for all three compounds but differed significantly depending on the nature of the counterion; the chloro derivative was found to be most active, while the perchlorate compound showed the least activity.     

Thermal stability of new zinc acetate-based complex compounds

New zinc acetate based complex compounds (of general formula Zn(CH₃COO)₂·1?2L·nH₂O) containing one or two molecules of urea, thiourea, coffeine and phenazone were prepared namely: Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2.5H₂O, Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2u·0.5H₂O, Zn(CH₃COO)₂·tu·0.5H₂O, Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2tu, Zn(CH₃COO)₂·cof·2.5H₂O, Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2cof·3.5H₂O, Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2phen·1.5H₂O. The compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy, chemical analysis and thermal analysis. Thermal analysis showed that no changes in crystallographic modifications of the compounds take place during (heating in nitrogen before) the thermal decompositions. The temperature interval of the stability of the prepared compounds were determined. It was found that the thermal decomposition of hydrated compounds starts by the release of water molecules. During the thermal decomposition of anhydrous compounds in nitrogen the release of organic ligands take place followed by the decomposition of the acetate anion. Zinc oxide and metallic zinc were found as final products of the thermal decomposition of the zinc acetate based complex compounds studied. Carbon dioxide and acetone were detected in the gaseous products of the decomposition of the compounds if ZnO is formed. Carbon monoxide and acetaldehyde were detected in the gaseous products of the decomposition, if metallic Zn is formed. It is supposed that ZnO and Zn resulting from Zn acetate complex compounds here studied, possess different degree of structural disorder. Annealing takes place by further heating above 600°C.     

The physicochemical and biological properties of zinc(II) complexes

Spectroscopic (IR), thermoanalytical (TG/DTG, DTA) and biological methods were applied to investigate physicochemical and biological properties of seven zinc(II) complex compounds of the following formula Zn(HCOO)₂·2H₂O (I), Zn(HCOO)₂·tph (II), Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O (III), Zn(CH₃COO)₂·tph (IV), Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2phen (V), Zn(CH₃CH₂COO)₂·2H₂O (VI), Zn(CH₃CH₂CH₂COO)₂·2H₂O (VII), where tph=theophylline, phen=phenazone. The formation of various intermediates during thermal decomposition suggests the dependence on the length of aliphatic carboxylic chain and type of N-donor ligand (tph, phen). The final product of the thermal decomposition was ZnO. The antimicrobial activity of these complexes were tested against G⁺ and G^– bacteria. Strong inhibitive effect was observed towards E. coli, salmonellae and Staph. aureus.     

Effect of Mg doping on morphology,photocatalytic activity and related biological properties of Zn1−xMgxO nanoparticles

The objective of this study is to synthesize ZnO and Mg doped ZnO (Zn_1−xMg_xO) nanoparticles via the sol-gel method, and characterize their structures and to investigate their biological properties such as antibacterial activity and hemolytic potential.Nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the sol-gel method using zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH₃COO)₂.2H₂O) and magnesium acetate tetrahydrate (Mg(CH₃COO)₂.4H₂O) as precursors. Methanol and monoethanolamine were used as solvent and sol stabilizer, respectively. Structural and morphological characterizations of Zn_1−xMg_xO nanoparticles were studied by using XRD and SEM-EDX, respectively. Photocatalytic activities of ZnO and selected Mg-doped ZnO (Zn_1−xMg_xO) nanoparticles were investigated by degradation of methylene blue (MeB). Results indicated that Mg doping (both 10% and 30%) to the ZnO nanoparticles enhanced the photocatalytic activity and a little amount of Zn0.90 Mg0.10 O photocatalyst (1.0 mg/mL) degraded MeB with 99% efficiency after 24 h of irradiation under ambient visible light. Antibacterial activity of nanoparticles versus Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) was determined by the standard plate count method. Hemolytic activities of the NPs were studied by hemolysis tests using human erythrocytes. XRD data proved that the average particle size of nanoparticles was around 30 nm. Moreover, the XRD results indicatedthat the patterns of Mg doped ZnO nanoparticles related to ZnO hexagonal wurtzite structure had no secondary phase for x ≤ 0.2 concentration. For 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.02, NPs showed a concentration dependent antibacterial activity against E. coli . While Zn_0.90Mg_0.10 O totally inhibited the growth of E. coli , upper and lower dopant concentrations did not show antibacterial activity.     

In situ thermo-TOF-SIMS study of thermal decomposition of zinc acetate dihydrate

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) was used for an in situ thermal decomposition study of Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O forming ZnO nanoparticles. TOF-SIMS spectra were recorded at regular temperature intervals of 25 °C in positive and negative detection modes in a dynamic thermal process. Controlled heating (5 °C min⁻¹) of Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O was also carried out using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in an oxygen atmosphere (20 ml min⁻¹). Nearly spherical ZnO nanoparticles with no agglomeration and a narrow size distribution (diameter ∼50 nm) were observed, which were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. In situ thermo-TOF-SIMS was used to monitor the ⁶⁴Zn⁺ and ⁶⁶Zn⁺ ion abundances as a function of temperature, which showed a similar profile to that observed for weight loss in TGA during decomposition. Based on the experimental results, a possible decomposition mechanism for the formation of ZnO is proposed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Solvolthermal Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Three Linear Trinuclear Schiff Base Complexes of Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II)

Three linear trinuclear Schiff base complexes, {Zn[Zn(CH₃COO)(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)]₂} ( 1 ), {Zn[Zn(CH₃COO)(C₂₅H₂₀N₂O₂)]₂} ( 2 ), and {Cd[Cd(CH₃COO)(C₁₈H₁₈N₂O₂)]₂} ( 3 ), were synthesized for the first time under solvolthermal conditions. Their structures have been characterized by elemental analyses, X-ray single crystal determinations, and infrared spectroscopy. There are three bridges across the M-M atom pairs (M is Zn for 1 and 2 , or Cd for 3 ) in each complex, involving two O atoms of a Schiff base ligand (N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1, 3-propanediaminate (SALPD^2-) for 1 , N, N′-bis(2-hydroxy-naphthalmethenylimino)-1, 3-propanediaminate (NAPTPD^2-) for 2 , and N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-1,4-butanediaminate (SALBD^2-) for 3 ), and an O-C-O moiety of a μ-acetato group. In each of the complexes, the central M²⁺ ion is located on an inversion center and has a distorted octahedral coordination involving four bridging O atoms from two Schiff base ligands in the equatorial plane and one O atom from each bridging acetate group in the axial positions. The coordination around the terminal M²⁺ ions is irregular square pyramidal, with two O atoms and two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand in the basal plane and one O atom from an acetate group in the apical position. The acetate bridges linking the central and terminal M²⁺ ions are mutually trans. The M…M distances are 3.050(3) Å in 1 , 3.139(2) Å in 2 , and 3.287(6) Å in 3 .

The metal lies in a pseudo-tetrahedral environment and is ligated by the two bithiazole ring nitrogen atoms and an oxygen from each of the two monodentate acetates; 2-D networks are formed via N–H···O hydrogen bonds. Thermal stability of [Zn(DADMBTZ)(CH₃COO)₂] _n was studied by thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analyses. A ZnO nanostructure was obtained by direct thermolyses at 500°C under air. The ZnO nanostructure was characterized by SEM, XRD, and FT-IR spectroscopy.     

New mixed-anion zinc(II) complexes, [Zn(phen)2(CCl3COO)(H2O)](NO3) and [Zn(bpy)2(CH3COO)](ClO4) · H2O; synthesis,characterization and crystal structures

Zinc(II) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) containing two different anions have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR-, ¹H?NMR-, ¹³C?NMR spectroscopy. The single crystal X-ray data of [Zn(phen)₂(CCl₃COO)(H₂O)](NO₃) show the complex to be monomeric and the Zn atom with an unsymmetrical six-coordinate geometry, coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of “phen”, one trichloroacetate and one water. The crystal structure of [Zn(bpy)₂(CH₃COO)](ClO₄)?·?H₂O shows each zinc atom chelated by the nitrogen atoms of “bpy” and also two oxygen atoms of acetate. From the infrared spectra and X-ray crystallography, it is established that coordination of the carboxylate group to zinc is different for trichloroacetate and acetate.
