Chelate complexes of some NNO tridentate Schiff bases with iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

Summary The Schiff bases a-(C₅H₄N)CMe=NNHCOR (R = Ph, 2-thienyl or Me), prepared by condensation of 2-acetylpyridine with the acylhydrazines RCONHNH₂, coordinate in the deprotonated iminol form to yield the octahedral complexes, M[NNO]₂ M = Co or Ni; [NNOH] = Schiff base and the square-planar complexes, Pd[NNO]Cl. The Schiff bases also coordinate in the neutral keto form yielding the octahedral complexes (M[NNOH]2)Z2 (M = Ni, Co or Fe; Z = C104, BF₄ or N03) and complexes of the type M[NNOH]X2 (M = Ni, Co, Fe or Cu; X = Cl, Br or NCS). Spectral and x-ray diffraction data indicate that the complexes M[NNOH]X2 (M = Ni or Fe) are polymeric octahedral, as are the corresponding cobalt complexes having R = 2-thienyl. However, the cobalt complexes Co[NNOH]X2 (X = CI or Br; R = Ph or Me) and the copper complexes Cu[NNOH]CI₂ (R = Ph, 2-thienyl or Me) are five-coordinate, while the thiocyanato complex Co[NNOH](NCS)₂ (R = 2-thienyl) is tetrahedral.     

Thermal decomposition kinetics of iron(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of a Schiff base derived from quinoxaline-2-carboxaldehyde and glycine

Quinoxaline-2-carboxalideneglycine complexes of iron(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes were subjected to a systematic TG/DTG analysis. The decomposition process consists of two stages for all these complexes. Kinetic parameters were evaluated for each of these stages using the Coats-Redfern equation. The rate of decomposition at the second stage seems to have a bearing on the catalytic effect of the metal oxides formed during this stage.

New transition metal complexes of Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Fe(III) of the ligands 6,6′-(1E,1′E)-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)bis(azan-1-yl-1-ylidene)bis(methan-1-yl-1-ylidene)bis(7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one) H₂L¹ and 6,6’-(1E,1′E)-cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis(azan-1-yl-1-ylidene)bis(methan-1-yl-1-ylidene)bis(7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one) H₂L² have been prepared and characterized using physio-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The results obtained for the complexes indicated that the geometries of the metal centres are either square planar or octahedral. Cyclopropanation reactions of unactivated olefins by ethyldiazoacetate (EDA) in the presence of [L¹Cu]·H₂O, [L²Cu]·2H₂O and [L²*Co]·2H₂O as catalysts were examined. The results showed that only [L²*Co]·2H₂O can act as a catalyst for the cyclopropanation reaction of unactivated olefins with very high selectivity (up to 99% based on EDA).

New complexes of iron(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) with 2-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxalidene-2-aminophenol

Summary Fe^III, Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II complexes of a new Schiff base, 2-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxalidene-2-aminophenol (PTCAP), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements, and by u.v.-vis., i.r. and e.p.r. spectral observations. The studies indicate an octahedral structure for the complexes with the general formula [ML₂] (M = Co^II, Ni^II or Cu^II.; L = PTCAP) or [M′(OH)L₂] (M′ = Fe^III). The i.r. spectra suggest that the ligand acts as a tridentate (NNO) donor towards Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II, and, in the Fe^III complex, one of the two ligand molecules acts as a bidentate (NO) donor and the other as a tridentate donor. The M?ssbauer spectrum of the Fe^III complex suggests the presence of a spin equilibrium at room temperature. Cyclic voltammograms are also recorded for the Cu^II and Fe^III complexes.

The results suggested that condensation of the azo-derivative compounds and o-vanillin in a 1:1 molar ratio produces mononuclear Schiff base ligands with an ONO donor set. Preliminary histological studies were made. Magnetic moment studies showed that all complexes have a tetrahedral configuration.
