A Novel Proton Transfer Self‐Associated Compound from Dipicolinic Acid and Guanidine and Its Cadmium(II) Complex: Synthesis,Characterization, Crystal Structure,and Solution Studies

A novel 1:2 proton transfer self‐associated compound LH₂ , (GH⁺)₂(pydc^2—), was synthesized from the reaction of dipicolinic acid, pydcH₂, (2, 6‐pyridinedicarboxylic acid), and guanidine hydrochloride, (GH⁺)(Cl^—). The characterization was performed using IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. LH₂ · H₂O crystallizes in the space group C2/c of the monoclinic system and contains eight molecules per unit cell. The unit cell dimensions are: a = 26.480(5)Å, b = 8.055(2)Å, c = 14.068(3)Å. The first coordination complex (GH)₂[Cd(pydc)₂] · 2H₂O, was prepared using LH₂ and cadmium(II) iodide, and characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. The crystal system is triclinic with space group P1¯ with one molecule per unit cell. The unit cell dimensions are: a = 8.5125(7)Å, b = 11.0731(8)Å, c = 13.2404(10)Å. The cadmium(II) atom is six‐coordinated with a distorted octahedral geometry. The two pydc^2— units are almost perpendicular to each other. The protonation constants of the building blocks of the pydc‐guanidine adduct, the equilibrium constants for the reaction of pydc^2— with guanidine and the stoichiometry and stability of the Cd²⁺ complex with LH₂ in aqueous solution were accomplished by potentiometric pH titration. The solution studies strongly support a self‐association between pydc^2— and GH⁺ with a stoichiometry for the Cd^II complex similar to that observed for the isolated crystalline complex. In fact, the [Cd(pydc)₂]^2— complex was found as the most abundant species in solution (> 90 %) at a pH >5.

Crystal Structures and Solution Studies of Two Novel Zinc(II) Complexes of a Proton Transfer Compound Obtained from 2, 6‐Pyridinedicarboxylic Acid and 1, 10‐Phenanthroline: Observation of Strong Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds

The proton transfer compound LH₂ , (phenH⁺)₂(pydc^2—), has been prepared from 1, 10‐phenanthroline, phen, and 2, 6‐pyridinedicarboxylic acid, (dipicolinic acid), pydcH₂. Characterization was performed using solution and solid phase CP/MAS ¹³C NMR and IR spectroscopy. The reactions of this adduct with ZnSO₄·7H₂O and Zn(NO₃)₂·4H₂O give the complexes, [Zn(pydc)₂][Zn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]·7H₂O (1) and [Zn(phen)₃]₄(H(Hpydc)₂)(NO₃)₇·26H₂O (2) , respectively. These complexes were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X‐ray analysis. The complexes crystallize in the triclinic space group P1 with Z = 2. The unit cell dimensions for complex 1 and 2 are: a = 9.9838(9) Å, b = 14.7483(13) Å, c = 14.8365(13) Å and a = 12.640(4) Å, b = 15.855(5) Å, c = 21.830(7) Å, respectively. In complex 1 (pydc^2—) and phen, are tri‐ and bidentate ligands, respectively, and an anionic [Zn(pydc)₂]^2— and cationic [Zn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ complex are formed simultaneously. In complex 2 , three phen participate in complexation leaving hydrogen‐bis(pyridine‐2‐carboxylate), (H(Hpydc)₂)^— as a supramolecular anion. The fragments (H(Hpydc)₂)^—, 7 NO₃^—, and 26 H₂O in complex 2 are joined together by extensive and strong H‐bonding; therefore, the structure is composed of [Zn(phen)₃]₄⁸⁺, and an anionic hydrogen bond supramolecular assembly with the formula, {(H(Hpydc)₂(NO₃)₇)^8— · 26H₂O}_n. The anionic species (H(Hpydc)₂)^— has a special position at the inversion center, as well as one of the NO₃^— anions, which is disordered over the inversion center. Most of the hydrogen bonds in complex 2 represent strong H‐bonding. The protonation constants of the building blocks of the pydc‐phen adduct, the equilibrium constants for the reaction of (pydc^2—) with phenanthroline and the stoichiometry and stability of the Zn^II complex with LH₂ on aqueous solution were determined by potentiometric pH titration. The solution study results support self‐association between (pydc^2—) and (phenH⁺) with a stoichiometry for the Zn(II) complex similar to that observed for the isolated crystalline complex.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Antioxidation and DNA‐Binding Studies of a Zinc(II) Complex with the Bis(N‐allylbenzimidazol‐2‐ylmethyl)aniline

A complex of zinc(II) picrate (pic) with bis(N‐allylbenzimidazol‐2‐ylmethyl)aniline (abba), with composition [Zn(abba)₂](pic)₂, was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductivity, IR and UV/Vis spectral measurements. The crystal structure of the zinc(II) complex has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The Zn(II) is bonded to two abba ligands through four benzimidazole nitrogen, resulting in a distorted tetrahedron geometry. The DNA‐binding properties of the ligand and the zinc(II) complex were investigated by electronic absorption, fluorescence spectra and viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that the zinc(II) complex binds to DNA in an intercalation mode. In addition, the ligand abba and Zn(II) complex have scavenging effects for hydroxyl radicals and the complex shows stronger scavenging effects for hydroxyl radicals than the ligand.     

Synthesis,Characterization and X‐ray Crystal Structure of a Chromium(III) Complex Obtained from a Proton‐Transfer Compound Containing 1,10‐Phenanthroline‐2,9‐dicarboxylic Acid and 2,6‐Pyridinediamine

The novel 1,10‐phenanthroline‐2,9‐dicarboxylate containing Chromium(III) complex, (pydaH)[Cr(phendc)₂] · 5H₂O, was synthesized using proton‐transfer compound LH₂, (pydaH₂)²⁺(phendc)^2?, (pyda: 2,6‐pyridinediamine; phendcH₂: 1,10‐phenanthroline‐2,9‐dicarboxylic acid) and thoroughly characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X‐ray crystallography and cyclic voltammetry. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with four formula units in the unit cell. The unit cell dimensions are: a = 13.962(3) Å, b = 14.529(3) Å, c = 16.381(3) Å and β = 106.691(4)°. In this complex, 1,10‐phenanthroline‐2,9‐dicarboxylate acts as a tridentate ligand and the lattice is composed of anionic hexacoordinated complex, [Cr(phendc)₂]^?, 2,6‐pyridiniumdiamine counter ion, (pydaH)⁺, and five lattice water molecules. Crystallographic characterization revealed that the resulting supramolecular structure is strongly stabilized by complicated network of hydrogen bonds between the crystallization water molecules, counter ion and both coordinated and uncoordinated carboxylate groups. There is no relevant π‐π interaction for this anionic complex between pyda or phendc moieties. The electrochemical studies indicated over potential for both the cathodic and anodic peaks of the complex with respect to the free Cr³⁺ ion, as a consequence of the energy requirement for rearrangement of the ligand at electrode surface.

The structure of complex 1 was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis and further characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, as well as powder X‐ray diffraction. X‐ray structure analysis demonstrates that the complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/n. There are three zinc ions in the asymmetric unit, which are either five‐coordinate or six‐coordinate. The asymmetric units are further bridged by the carboxylate of the organic ligands, featuring a 2D framework. The solid state diffuse‐reflectance UV/Vis spectra reveals that complex 1 has semiconducting nature with the energy bandgap (E_g) estimated to be 3.11 eV. The photocatalytic properties of complex 1 in degradation of organic dyes were further investigated. Results showed that the complex could degrade 54 % of the dye methylene blue solution within 120 min under UV irradiation light and reused for five times without the decline of the photocatalytic activity.

The metal complex exhibits higher antibacterial activity than its corresponding ligand. The complex exhibits purple effect emission as the result of fluorescence from the intraligand emission excited state.

The reaction of zinc bromide with the pentadentate chelating ligand 2, 6‐diacetylpyridine bis(thiosemicarbazone) (H₂L¹) yields the formation of a novel complex. Recrystallization in a acetone/water solution leads us to isolate the mixed ligand complex of [Zn(H₂L¹)Br_0.49(OH)_0.51]₂·(HSO₄)₂·6H₂O, structurally characterized. The complex is a dimer in which each zinc atom is seven‐co‐ordinated with the SNNNS‐chelating ligand occupying the five equatorial positions, a bromine atom or hydroxo group in one of the two axial positions and a sulfur atom of the centrosymmetrical molecule occupies the other axial site making a bridge between the two zinc atoms. To the best of our knowledge is the first S‐bridged dimeric Zinc(II) complex derived from 2, 6‐diacetylpyridine bis(thiosemicarbazone) ligand. The MALDI‐TOF mass, solid state IR and ¹H NMR (in DMSO solution) spectra are also discussed.
