Spectroscopic and theoretical studies on nickel(II) complex of maleonitriledithiolate and 2,2'-bipyridine

The complete IR spectra of the title complex Ni(mnt)(bpy) (mnt=maleonitriledithiolate, bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) and a new method to analyze vibrational spectra for such a complicated metal complex are reported in this paper. The molecular geometry, binding, electronic structure and spectroscopic property of it have been studied in detail by theoretical calculations. The geometry optimization from PM3 calculations give that this molecule is of a planar structure with the symmetry point group C(2v) and its ground state is the spin triplet state. The vibrational and electronic spectra were calculated by PM3 and ZINDO/S methods, respectively. The scientific method of analyzing vibrational spectra is established herein by giving main fixed points and pivotal vibrational units. Besides the regular symbols, the new defined symbols eta and M play an important role in describing the vibration modes accurately and vividly.

Spectroscopic and theoretical studies on cobalt(II) complex of maleonitriledithiolate and 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline

The molecular structure, electronic and infrared spectroscopic properties for the title complex Co(mnt)(5-NO2-phen) (mnt2-=maleonitriledithiolate, 5-NO2-phen=5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline) were studied in this paper.

The calculated results of structure and frequency from DFT were more reasonable than those from PM3, and the two methods were both agreed with the experimental values. A complete assignment to the IR spectra of such a complicated molecule has been exhibited. An electronic spectra was calculated by ZINDOS/S method. The results showed that the calculated values agreed with the observed ones.

Time-resolved photoacoustics study of the ruthenium(II) bis(2,2'-bipyridine)(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) complex

The formation and the decay of the triplet metal to ligand charge transfer state ((3)MLCT) of ruthenium(II) bis(2,2'-bipyridine)(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) (Ru(bpy)(2)(dcbpy)) were characterized using photoacoustic calorimetry. At pH 6 and 2, the (3)MLCT state formation leads to a volume change of -8 mL mol(-1) and enthalpy changes of 17 kcal mol(-1) and 13 kcal mol(-1), respectively. We attribute the volume contraction to structural changes and to solvent electrostriction. At pH 4, the photoexcitation of the complex leads to an expansion of 14 mL mol(-1) and an enthalpy change of approximately 119 kcal mol(-1) due to protonation of the carboxyl group in the excited state.

Spectroscopic and theoretical studies on copper(II) complex of maleinitriledithiolate and 1,10-phenanthroline

A complete vibrational spectra analysis of the title complex is performed in this paper. The molecular geometry, binding, electron structure and spectroscopic properties for the title complex are studied in detail by PM3 or ZINDO/S method. It has been found that this complex has a planar structure belonging to the symmetry point group C2v and its ground state is the spin doublet state. By comparison with the observed results, it can be concluded that PM3 methods are reliable to calculate the vibrational spectra of this molecule. It is worth noting that the scientific method of assigning vibrational spectra for a complicated molecule containing metal is established herein for the first time by giving main fixed points and pivotal vibrational units. Besides the regular symbols, the new defined symbols eta and M play an important role in describing the vibrational modes accurately and vividly.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and electronic properties of bis(N-2-bromophenyl-salicydenaminato)copper(II) complex

A new series of complexes of the type bis(N-substituted-salicydenaminato)copper(II) (1–9), have been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV–Vis and elemental analysis methods. The molecular structure of bis(N-2-bromophenyl-salicydenaminato)copper(II) (6), was determined using X-ray crystallography. There are two independent molecules in the structure. Each shows a neutral, mononuclear, four-coordinate, square-planar trans-Cu[N₂O₂] geometry and, in each, the Cu atom and the ligating atoms are coplanar. The chelating N–Cu–O angle is 91.39(11)° for molecule one and 91.20(11)° for molecule two, whereas the non-chelating N–Cu–O angles are 88.61(11) and 88.80(11)°, respectively. The trans-N–Cu–N and trans-O–Cu–O bond angles are 180°. The electronic absorption spectra of copper(II) complexes (1–9), indicate that the d–d band energy is dependent on the nature and position of substituent on phenyl ring of the salicyldenimine ligand. The UV–Vis spectra in various solvents were measured and a relationship between absorption spectra and dielectric constant of the solvents is reported.     

Synthesis, characterization, and bromine substitution by 4,4'-di(5-nonyl)-2,2'-bipyridine in Cu(II)(4,4'-di(5-nonyl)-2,2'-bipyridine)Br(2)

The crystal structure of a novel compound Cu(II)(dNbpy)Br(2) (dNbpy = 4,4'-di(5-nonyl)-2,2'-bipyridine), which is used in the reverse atom transfer radical polymerization, is reported. Cu(II)(dNbpy)Br(2) crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group with a = 12.5283(11) A, b = 15.0256(14) A, c = 17.7900(16) A, alpha = 90.350(2) degrees, beta = 99.360(2) degrees, gamma = 107.937(2) degrees, and Z = 2. The Cu(II) center in the complex has a distorted square planar geometry and is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of a single dNbpy ligand (Cu-N = 2.011(7) and 2.022(7) A) and two bromine atoms (Cu-Br = 2.3621(14) and 2.3567(13) A). The similarity of the absorption spectra in the solid state and in solution suggested that the geometry of the complex remained unchanged upon dissolution. In the presence of dNbpy, Cu(II)(dNbpy)Br(2) undergoes Br substitution to form ionic [Cu(II)(dNbpy)(2)Br](+)[Br](-). DeltaH degrees and DeltaS degrees values for this equilibrium were negative and dependent on the polarity of the medium. It was found that, under the typical polymerization conditions (T > or =90 degrees C and the total copper concentration in the range 1.0 x 10(-2)-1.0 x 10(-1) M), Cu(II)Br(2) and 2 equiv of dNbpy will predominantly form the neutral Cu(II)(dNbpy)Br(2) complex. In a polar medium under the same conditions, [Cu(II)(dNbpy)(2)Br](+)[Br](-) is preferred.     

Structural, electronic, and acid/base properties of [Ru(bpy)2(bpy(OH)2)]2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, bpy(OH)2 = 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine)

We have synthesized the complex [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy(OH)(2))](2+) (bpy =2,2'-bipyridine, bpy(OH)(2) = 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine). Experimental results coupled with computational studies were utilized to investigate the structural and electronic properties of the complex, with particular attention paid toward the effects of deprotonation on these properties. The most distinguishing feature observed in the X-ray structural data is a shortening of the CO bond lengths in the modified ligand upon deprotonation. Similar results are also observed in the computational studies as the CO bond becomes double bond in character after deprotonating the complex. Electrochemically, the hydroxy-modified bipyridyl ligand plays a significant role in the redox properties of the complex. When protonated, the bpy(OH)(2) ligand undergoes irreversible reduction processes; however, when deprotonated, reduction of the substituted ligand is no longer observed, and several new irreversible oxidation processes associated with the modified ligand arise. pH studies indicate [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy(OH)(2))](2+) has two distinct deprotonations at pK(a1) = 2.7 and pK(a2) = 5.8. The protonated [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy(OH)(2))](2+) complex has a characteristic UV/Visible absorption spectrum similar to the well-studied complex [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) with bands arising from Metal-to-Ligand Charge Transfer (MLCT) transitions. When the complex is deprotonated, the absorption spectrum is altered significantly and becomes heavily solvent dependent. Computational methods indicate that the deprotonated bpy(O(-))(2) ligand mixes heavily with the metal d orbitals leading to a new absorption manifold. The transitions in the complex have been assigned as mixed Metal-Ligand to Ligand Charge Transfer (MLLCT).     

Total enantioselectivity in the DNA binding of the dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex [[Ru(Me2bpy)2]2(mu-bpm)]4+ [bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine; Me2bpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine

The binding of the three stereoisomers (DeltaDelta-, LambdaLambda- and DeltaLambda-) of the dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex [[Ru(Me2bpy)2]2(mu-bpm)]4+ [Me2bpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine; bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine] to a tridecanucleotide containing a single adenine bulge has been studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The addition of the DeltaDelta-isomer to d(CCGAGAATTCCGG)2 induced significant chemical shift changes for the base and sugar resonances of the residues at the bulge site (G3A4G5/C11C10), whereas small shifts were observed upon addition of the enantiomeric LambdaLambda-form. NOESY spectra of the tridecanucleotide bound with the DeltaDelta-isomer revealed intermolecular NOE's between the metal complex and the nucleotide residues at the bulge site, while only weak NOE's were observed to terminal residues to the LambdaLambda-form. Competitive binding studies were performed where both enantiomers were simultaneously added to the tridecanucleotide, and for all ratios of the two stereoisomers the DeltaDelta-isomer remained selectively bound at the bulge site with the LambdaLambda-enantiomer localised at the terminal regions of the tridecanucleotide. The meso-diastereoisomer (DeltaLambda) was found to bind to the tridecanucleotide with characteristics intermediate between the DeltaDelta- and LambdaLambda-enantiomers of the rac form. Two distinct sets of metal complex resonances were observed, with one set having essentially the same shift as the free metal complex, whilst the other set of resonances exhibited significant shifts. The NOE data indicated that the meso-diastereoisomer does not bind as selectively as the DeltaDelta-isomer, with NOE's observed to a greater number of nucleotide residues compared to the DeltaDelta-form. This study provides a rare example of total enantioselectivity in the binding of an inert transition metal complex to DNA, produced by the shape recognition of both ruthenium(II) centres.     

The electronic spectra and structure of the bis-ethilenediamine C-substituted copper(II) complexes

Twenty-four copper(II) complexes have been prepared with ethylenediamine, propylendiamine, stilbenediamine and tetramethylenediamine with different axial ligands. Their absorption spectra (190–800 nm) have been measured in solution. D_q, D_s, D_t and D_qz crystal field parameters for these complexes have been obtained and used in the evaluation of their possible configuration. In particular, for the Cu(stien)₂(F₃CCOO⁻)₂ complex the CuN distance is obtained from spectroscopic and magnetic data.     

Complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with 4,4'-bipyridine and dichloroacetates

New mixed-ligand complexes with empirical formulae M(4-bpy)L₂·1.5H₂O (M(II)=Mn, Co), Ni(4-bpy)₂L₂ and Cu(4-bpy) L₂·H₂O (where: 4-bpy=4,4'-bipyridine, L=CC L2HCOO^-) have been isolated in pure state. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, ir spectroscopy, conductivity (in methanol, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide solutions) and magnetic and x-ray diffraction measurements. The Mn(II) and Co(II) complexes are isostructural. The way of metal-ligand coordinations discussed. the ir spectra suggest that the carboxylate groups are bonded with metal(II) in the same way (Ni, Cu) or in different way (Mn, Co). The solubility in water is in the order of 19.40·10^-3÷1.88·10^-3ł mol dm^-3ł. During heating the hydrate complexes lose all water in one step. The anhydrous complexes decompose to oxides via several intermediate compounds. A coupled TG-MS system was used to analyse the principal volatile products of obtained complexes. The principal volatile products of thermal decomposition of complexes in air are: H₂O₂ ⁺, CO₂ ⁺, HCl⁺, Cl₂ ⁺, NO⁺ and other.
