The effect of the coordination orientation of N atoms on polymeric structures: synthesis and characterization of one‐ and two‐dimensional CuII coordination polymers based on 4‐amino‐3‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐5‐[(pyridin‐3‐ylmethyl)sulfanyl]‐1,2,4‐triazole

Three new one‐ (1D) and two‐dimensional (2D) Cu^II coordination polymers, namely poly[[bis{μ₂‐4‐amino‐3‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐5‐[(pyridin‐3‐ylmethyl)sulfanyl]‐1,2,4‐triazole}copper(II)] bis(methanesulfonate) tetrahydrate], {[Cu(C₁₃H₁₂N₅S)₂](CH₃SO₃)₂·4H₂O}_n ( 1 ), catena‐poly[[copper(II)‐bis{μ₂‐4‐amino‐3‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐5‐[(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)sulfanyl]‐1,2,4‐triazole}] dinitrate methanol disolvate], {[Cu(C₁₃H₁₂N₅S)₂](NO₃)₂·2CH₃OH}_n ( 2 ), and catena‐poly[[copper(II)‐bis{μ₂‐4‐amino‐3‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐5‐[(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)sulfanyl]‐1,2,4‐triazole}] bis(perchlorate) monohydrate], {[Cu(C₁₃H₁₂N₅S)₂](ClO₄)₂·H₂O}_n ( 3 ), were obtained from 4‐amino‐3‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐5‐[(pyridin‐3‐ylmethyl)sulfanyl]‐1,2,4‐triazole with pyridin‐3‐yl terminal groups and from 4‐amino‐3‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐5‐[(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)sulfanyl]‐1,2,4‐triazole with pyridin‐4‐yl terminal groups. Compound 1 displays a 2D net‐like structure. The 2D layers are further linked through hydrogen bonds between methanesulfonate anions and amino groups on the framework and guest H₂O molecules in the lattice to form a three‐dimensional (3D) structure. Compound 2 and 3 exhibit 1D chain structures, in which the complicated hydrogen‐bonding interactions play an important role in the formation of the 3D network. These experimental results indicate that the coordination orientation of the heteroatoms on the ligands has a great influence on the polymeric structures. Moreover, the selection of different counter‐anions, together with the inclusion of different guest solvent molecules, would also have a great effect on the hydrogen‐bonding systems in the crystal structures.

Compound 10 was also transformed into the 1‐(4‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐ylmethyl)‐4‐quinolone‐3‐carbohydrazide ( 15 ), whose reaction with phenyl isocyanate or phenyl isothiocyanate afforded the 4‐phenyl‐1‐(1‐triazolylmethyl‐4‐quinolon‐3‐ylcarbonyl)semicarbazide ( 6a ) or 4‐phenyl‐1‐(1‐triazolylmethyl‐4‐quinolon‐3‐ylcarbonyl)thiosemicarbazide ( 6b ), respectively.

Synthesis of Some New Heterocycles Derived from Phenylacetyl Isothiocyanate

Phenylacetyl isothiocyanate (1) was reacted with benzoyl hydrazine (2a) in acetonitrile to give thiosemicarbazide derivative 3 which was cyclized by polyphosphoric acid to give 1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione derivative 4. Treatment of 1 with thiosemicarbazide (2b) yielded another 1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione derivative 5. Similar treatment of 1 with phenyl hydrazine (2c) in acetonitrile gave a differently substituted 1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione derivative 6 in one pot-reaction. On the other hand, when the reaction was carried out in acetone, a mixture of 6 and thiadiazolidine derivative 7 was obtained. However, reaction of 1 with hydrazine hydrate (2d) gave hydrazine derivative 8. Reaction of isothiocyanate 1 with anthranilic acid (9) gave benzo[d][1,3,6]oxazin-1-one derivative 10. Treatment of 1 with 2-aminothiophenol (11a), 2-aminophenol (11b) or o-phenylenediamine (11c) produced benzothiazole derivative 12a, benzoxazole derivative 12b and benzimidazole derivative 12c, respectively. The structures of all the products were confirmed by micro-analytical and spectral data.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of some 1,2,4‐triazole, 1,3,4‐oxa(thia)diazole,and 1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivatives

3‐Methyl‐2‐benzofurancarboxylic acid hydrazide ( 2 ) reacts with carbon disulfide and pota‐ ssium hydroxide to give the corresponding potassium carbodithioate salt 3 . Treatment of the latter salt with hydrochloric acid, hydrazine hydrate, and with phen‐ acyl bromide afforded the corresponding 1,3,4‐oxadia‐ zole‐5‐thione 4 , 4‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thione 5 , and thiazolidine‐2‐thione 9 derivatives, respectively. The reaction of either 1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐5‐thione 4 or 4‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thione 5 with phenacyl bromide resulted in the formation of 1,2,4‐triazolo[3, 4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivative 8 . Treatment of compounds 3 or 4 with hydrazonoyl halides 10a–d furn‐ ished the same 1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐ylidene derivatives 11a–d . The 7‐arylhydrazono‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐ b ]‐1, 3,4‐thiadiazine derivatives 12a–d were obtained either by treatment of 4‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thione 5 with hydrazonoyl halides 10a–d or by coupling of the 1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivative 8 with diazonium salts. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ZnII and CuII complexes generated from 5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐3‐[2‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethyl]‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐2(3H)‐thione

A new 1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐containing bispyridyl ligand, namely 5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐3‐[2‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethyl]‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐2(3H)‐thione (L), has been used to create the novel complexes tetranitratobis{μ‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐3‐[2‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethyl]‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐2(3H)‐thione}zinc(II), [Zn₂(NO₃)₄(C₁₄H₁₂N₄OS)₂], (I), and catena‐poly[[[dinitratocopper(II)]‐bis{μ‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐3‐[2‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethyl]‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐2(3H)‐thione}] nitrate acetonitrile sesquisolvate dichloromethane sesquisolvate], {[Cu(NO₃)(C₁₄H₁₂N₄OS)₂]NO₃·1.5CH₃CN·1.5CH₂Cl₂}_n, (II). Compound (I) presents a distorted rectangular centrosymmetric Zn₂L₂ ring (dimensions 9.56 × 7.06 Å), where each Zn^II centre lies in a {ZnN₂O₄} coordination environment. These binuclear zinc metallocycles are linked into a two‐dimensional network through nonclassical C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The resulting sheets lie parallel to the ac plane. Compound (II), which crystallizes as a nonmerohedral twin, is a coordination polymer with double chains of Cu^II centres linked by bridging L ligands, propagating parallel to the crystallographic a axis. The Cu^II centres adopt a distorted square‐pyramidal CuN₄O coordination environment with apical O atoms. The chains in (II) are interlinked via two kinds of π–π stacking interactions along [01]. In addition, the structure of (II) contains channels parallel to the crystallographic a direction. The guest components in these channels consist of dichloromethane and acetonitrile solvent molecules and uncoordinated nitrate anions.

Synthesis and Reactions of 3‐Methylthiazolo[3,2‐a]Benzimidazole‐2‐Carboxylic Acid Hydrazide: Synthesis of Some New Pyrazole, 1,3‐Thiazoline, 1,2,4‐Triazole and 1,2,4‐Triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐Thiadiazine Derivatives Pendant to Thiazolo[3,2‐a]Benzimidazole Moiety

The reaction of 3‐methylthiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazole‐2‐carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1) with hydrazine hydrate gives the hydrazide 2 which reacts with CS₂/KOH to afford the potassium salt 3. Treatment of 3 with l‐aryl‐2‐bromoethanones 4a,b afforded the 1,3‐thiazoline derivatives 6a,b, respectively, while the reaction of 3 with hydrazine hydrate afforded 1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thione derivative 9. The reaction of 9 with l‐aryl‐2‐bromoethanones 4a,b and with hydrazonyl chlorides 11a,b gave the 1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivatives 10a,b and 12a,b, respectively. Treatment of hydrazide 2 with phenyl isothiocyanate in refluxing benzene gave the thiosemicarbazide derivative 16. The latter reaction gave 1,3,4‐oxadiazole derivative 17 when benzene was replaced by DMF. Cyclization of the thiosemicarbazide derivative 16 with NaOH resulted in the formation of the 1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thione derivative 18.     

Electro‐Oxidation of 3,4‐Dihydroxybenzoic Acid in the Presence of 6‐Methyl‐1,2,4‐Triazine‐3‐Thione‐5‐One: Unique Synthesis of 7H‐Thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐1,2,4‐Triazin‐7‐One Derivative in Aqueous Media

The electrochemical oxidation of 3,4‐dihydroxy benzoic acid ( 1 ) has been studied in the presence of 6‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazine‐3‐thione‐5‐one ( 2 ) in aqueous solution. The oxidation mechanism of 1 and its reaction in the presence of 2 was offered. It was confirmed that 1 is converted to 7H‐thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐1,2,4‐triazin‐7‐one derivative 5 through Michael addition reaction of 2 to anodically generated o‐benzoquinone. The results of the research were used for electrochemical synthesis of 5 in an undivided cell in good yield and purity.     

Synthesis of Bis‐Heterocyclic 1H‐Imidazole 3‐Oxides from 3‐Oxido‐1H‐imidazole‐4‐carbohydrazides

The reaction of 1H‐imidazole‐4‐carbohydrazides 1 , which are conveniently accessible by treatment of the corresponding esters with NH₂NH₂?H₂O, with isothiocyanates in refluxing EtOH led to thiosemicarbazides (=hydrazinecarbothioamides) 4 in high yields (Scheme 2). Whereas 4 in boiling aqueous NaOH yielded 2,4‐dihydro‐3H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiones 5 , the reaction in concentrated H₂SO₄ at room temperature gave 1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐amines 6 . Similarly, the reaction of 1 with butyl isocyanate led to semicarbazides 7 , which, under basic conditions, undergo cyclization to give 2,4‐dihydro‐3H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐ones 8 (Scheme 3). Treatment of 1 with Ac₂O yielded the diacylhydrazine derivatives 9 exclusively, and the alternative isomerization of 1 to imidazol‐2‐ones was not observed (Scheme 4). It is important to note that, in all these transformations, the imidazole N‐oxide residue is retained. Furthermore, it was shown that imidazole N‐oxides bearing a 1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thione or 1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐amine moiety undergo the S‐transfer reaction to give bis‐heterocyclic 1H‐imidazole‐2‐thiones 11 by treatment with 2,2,4,4‐tetramethylcyclobutane‐1,3‐dithione (Scheme 5).     

Design and synthesis of methyl 2‐{[4‐phenyl‐5‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl]sulfanyl}acetate (phpy2NS) as a ligand for complexes of Group 12 elements: structural assessment and hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular assembly analysis

The reaction of 2‐cyanopyridine with N‐phenylthiosemicarbazide afforded 2‐[amino(pyridin‐2‐yl)methylidene]‐N‐phenylhydrazine‐1‐carbothioamide (Ham4ph) and crystals of 4‐phenyl‐5‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐2,4‐dihydro‐3H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thione (pyph3NS, 1 , C₁₃H₁₀N₄S). Crystals of methyl 2‐{[4‐phenyl‐5‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl]sulfanyl}acetate (phpy2NS, 2 , C₁₆H₁₄N₄O₂S), derived from 1 , were obtained by the reaction of Ham4ph with chloroacetic acid, followed by the acid‐catalyzed esterification of the carboxylic acid with methyl alcohol. Crystals of bis(methanol‐κO)bis(methyl 2‐{[4‐phenyl‐5‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl‐κ²N¹,N⁵]sulfanyl}acetato)zinc(II)/cadmium(II) hexabromidocadmate(II), [Zn_0.76Cd_0.24(C₁₆H₁₄N₄O₂S)₂(CH₃OH)₂][Cd₂Br₆] or [Zn_0.76Cd_0.24(phpy2NS)₂(MeOH)₂][Cd₂Br₆], 3 , and dichlorido(methyl 2‐{[4‐phenyl‐5‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl‐κ²N¹,N⁵]sulfanyl}acetato)mercury(II), [HgCl₂(C₁₆H₁₄N₄O₂S)] or [Hg(phpy2NS)Cl₂], 4 , were synthesized using ligand 2 and CdBr₂ or HgCl₂, respectively. The molecular and supramolecular structures of the compounds were studied by X‐ray diffractometry. The asymmetric unit of 3 is formed from CdBr₃ and M(phpy2NS)(MeOH) units, where the metal centre M has a 76% occupancy of Zn^II and 24% of Cd^II. The M²⁺ centre of the cation, located on a crystallographic inversion centre, is hexacoordinated and appears as a slightly distorted octahedral [MN₄O₂]²⁺ cation. The Cd centre of the anion is coordinated by two terminal bromide ligands and two bridging bromide ligands that generate [Cd₂Br₆]^2? cadmium–bromide clusters. These clusters display crystallographic inversion symmetry forming two edge‐shared tetrahedra and serve as agents that direct the structure in the formation of supramolecular assemblies. In mononuclear complex 4 , the coordination geometry around the Hg²⁺ ion is distorted tetrahedral and comprises two chloride ligands and two N‐atom donors from the phpy2NS ligand, viz. one pyridine N atom and the other from triazole. In the crystal packing, all four compounds exhibit weak intermolecular interactions, which facilitate the formation of three‐dimensional architectures. Along with the noncovalent interactions, the structural diversity in the complexes can be attributed to the metal centre and to the coordination geometry, as well as to its ionic or neutral character.

The prepared thiosemicarbazides gave by cyclization the required 1,2,4‐triazoles. A number of synthesized compounds were subjected to in vitro testing against two gram‐positive, two gram‐negative bacteria and two fungi.

New 4‐aryl‐5‐(1‐phenyl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐thiones 3 have been synthesized by the intramolecular cyclization of 4‐aryl‐1‐(1‐phenyl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazol‐4‐formyl)thiosemicarbazides 2 with an 8% NaOH solution, and then 3 reacted with ω‐bromo‐ω‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)acetophenone to afford ω‐[4‐aryl‐5‐(1‐phenyl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐thio]‐ω‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)‐acetophenones 4 . The preliminary biological test showed that the representative compounds possess some anti fungal activities.

In the title compound, catena‐poly[[[N,N′‐bis(pyridin‐3‐ylmethyl)‐[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4,4′‐dicarboxamide]chloridozinc(II)]‐μ‐[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4,4′‐dicarboxylato‐[[N,N′‐bis(pyridin‐3‐ylmethyl)‐[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4,4′‐dicarboxamide]chloridozinc(II)]‐μ‐[N,N′‐bis(pyridin‐3‐ylmethyl)‐[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4,4′‐dicarboxamide]], [Zn₂(C₁₄H₈O₄)Cl₂(C₂₆H₂₂N₄O₂)₃]_n, the Zn^II centre is four‐coordinate and approximately tetrahedral, bonding to one carboxylate O atom from a bidentate bridging dianionic [1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4,4′‐dicarboxylate ligand, to two pyridine N atoms from two N,N′‐bis(pyridin‐3‐ylmethyl)‐[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4,4′‐dicarboxamide ligands and to one chloride ligand. The pyridyl ligands exhibit bidentate bridging and monodentate terminal coordination modes. The bidentate bridging pyridyl ligand and the bridging [1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4,4′‐dicarboxylate ligand both lie on special positions, with inversion centres at the mid‐points of their central C—C bonds. These bridging groups link the Zn^II centres into a one‐dimensional tape structure that propagates along the crystallographic b direction. The tapes are interlinked into a two‐dimensional layer in the ab plane through N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the monodentate ligands. In addition, the thermal stability and solid‐state photoluminescence properties of the title compound are reported.

Condensation of 4‐methylsulfonylaniline with aryl aldehyde in ethanol‐tetrahydrofuran afforded the imino compound 3 . 1,3‐Cycloaddtion of diazomethane with compound 3 followed by oxidazation of the triazoline 4 with potassium permanganate gave 1‐(4‐methylsulfonylphenyl)‐5‐aryl‐1,2,3‐triazoles 5 . Similarly, condensation of 4‐(N,N‐dibenzylaminosulfonyl)aniline with aryl aldehyde followed by 1,3‐cycloaddition of diazomethane with the imino compound 11 and the subsequent oxidation of triazoline 12 with potassium permanganate yielded the triazole 13 .

Synthesis,Characterization and X‐ray Structures of AMTT‐Type Schiff bases and two CuI Complexes (AMTT= 4‐amino‐5‐methyl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)‐thione)

The reaction of 4‐amino‐5‐methyl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)‐thione (AMTT) with 4‐methylbenzaldehyde and 4‐methoxybenzaldehyde in ethanol led to the iminic derivatives ‐4‐(4‐methylbenzylideneamino)‐5‐methyl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)thione ( L1 ) and 4‐(4‐methoxybenzyl‐ideneamino)‐5‐methyl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)‐thione ( L2 ). The reaction of L1 with CuCl in the presence of triphenylphosphane as co‐ligand in methanol/chloroform solution gave the Cu^I complex containing L1 , [Cu( L1 )(PPh₃)₂Cl]·0.5CH₃OH·0.25CHCl₃ ( 1 ). Treatment of L2 with the same metal salt in a molar ratio of 1:1 in methanol and further addition of a solution of PPh₃ in chloroform led to the complex [Cu( L2 )(PPh₃)₂Cl]·2.5CHCl₃ ( 2 ). The complexes and L1 were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy as well as by X‐ray diffraction studies. In both complexes, the Schiff base ligand is coordinated to the copper ion through its sulfur atom. The other coordination sites around the copper ion are occupied by two triphenylphosphane molecules and one chloride ion. Therefore, each Cu^I ion is in a distorted tetrahedral environment. Crystal data for L1 at ?100 °C: space group P2₁/n with a = 720.5(1), b = 1140.6(1), c = 1426.3(2) pm, β = 91.25(1)°, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.03, for 1 at ?120 °C : space group with a = 1286.3(1), b = 1740.3(1), c = 2060.2(1) pm, α = 79.085(6), β = 83.827(5), γ = 76.688(6)°, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0649 and for 2 at ?80 °C : space group with a = 1183.7(2), b = 1370.1(2), c = 1812.1(3) pm, α = 85.69(2), β = 88.52(2), γ = 64.89(2)°, Z = 2, R₁ = 0.0488.
