Novel Co(II) and Cd(II) complexes with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

New metal(II) complexes with empirical formulae Co(ibup)₂·4H₂O, Cd(ibup)₂·3H₂O, Co(nap)₂·H₂O, Cd(nap)₂·3H₂O (where ibup=(CH₃)₂CHCH₂C₆H₄CH(CH₃COO⁻) and nap=CH₃O(C₁₀H₆)CH(CH₃COO⁻)) were isolated and investigated. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, IR spectroscopy and thermal decomposition. The thermal behavior was studied by TG, DTG, DTA methods under non-isothermal conditions in air atmosphere. The hydrated complexes lose water molecules in first step. All complexes decompose via intermediate products to corresponding metal oxides CoO and CdO. A coupled TG-MS system was used to detect the principal volatile products of thermolysis and fragmentation processes of Co(nap)₂·H₂O. The IR spectra of studied complexes revealed also absorption of the carboxylate group. Principal concern with the position of asymmetric, symmetric frequencies. The value of their separation allow to deduce about type of coordination these groups.     

The study of new zinc(II) aliphatic carboxylate complex compounds by methods of thermal analysis

Four new complex compounds were prepared by the reaction of zinc bromobutyrate and organic ligands. The general formula of the synthetized complex compounds are (2-Brbut)₂ZnL and (4-Brbut)₂ZnL₂nH₂O (but=butyrate, L=theobromine (tbr), theophylline (tph), methyl-3-pyridyl carbamate (mpc), n=0-1). The compounds were characterized by chemical analysis and IR spectroscopy. The thermal behaviour of the zinc(II) complexes was studied by thermal analysis. Thermal decomposition in the case of hydrated compounds starts with the release of water molecules. Then molecules of organic ligands and the bromobutyrate anion are released and decomposed. CH₃CH₂CH=O, CO, CH₂=CHCH=O, CH₂O and ZnBr₂ were found as gaseous products of thermal decomposition during heating up to 700°C. IR, mass spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and chemical analysis were used for the determination of solid and gaseous intermediates and products of the thermal decomposition.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

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.     

Coordination behaviour of 2,2′-bipyridine towards the dichloroacetates of zinc and cadmium

The coordiantion compounds [Zn(C₁₀H₈N₂)(Cl₂HCCOO)(H₂O)₃]⁻·[Zn(C₁₀H₈N₂)(Cl₂HCCOO)₃]⁺ and [Cd(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(Cl₂CHCOO)₂] were synthesised and characterised by elemental and thermal analysis, IR and UV–VIS spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The complexes are air stable and well-soluble in water. The zinc atoms are five and six coordinated and the cadmium atom is six coordinated. The coordination polyhedra of central atoms can be described as trapezoidal pyramid and octahedron in zinc compound and as rectangular bipyramid strongly distorted towards skew trapezoidal bipyramid in cadmium compound. In both compounds all dichloroacetate groups are monodentate. The bond valences considerations show that all 2,2′-bipyridine molecules are bonded almost 2 times stronger than carboxylate groups. In the structure of zinc compound exist O–H···O hydrogen bonds and in both structures can be found weak C–H···O hydrogen bonds. Additionally, both compounds are pile-stacked by π···π interactions. The IR spectra show typical vibrations for chelating 2,2′-bipyridine molecules and terminal monodentate carboxylate groups. The thermal decomposition studies show zinc compound decomposes in 4 steps and cadmium compound decomposes in 5 steps with formation of oxides as a final products. The ligands decompose gradually, first dichloroacetates and next 2,2′-bipyridine.     

Thermoanalytical Investigation of Magnesium(II) Complexes with Nicotinamide as Bio-Active Ligand

The stoichiometry of thermal decomposition was studied for the following Mg(II) nicotinamide (NA) complexes: Mg(Ac)₂(NA)₅·2H₂O (I), Mg(CIAc)₂(NA)₆·6H₂O (II), Mg(Cl₂Ac)₂(NA)₆·5H₂O (III) and Mg(Cl₃Ac)₂(NA)₆·2H₂O (IV), where Ac=CH₃COO⁻, ClAc=ClCH₂COO⁻, Cl₂Ac=Cl₂CHCOO⁻ and Cl₃Ac=Cl₃CCOO⁻. Heating the compounds results first in the release of water molecules. The NA molecules are released in one step (complexes II and III) or in two steps (complexes I and IV). The compositions of the complexes, the solid-state intermediates and the products of thermolysis were identified by means of elemental analysis and complexometric titration. The results reveal that MgO is left as residue at the end of thermal degradation of compounds I–IV, NA is coordinated to Mg(II) through the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic ring. The IR data indicate unidentate coordination of the carboxylate ions to the Mg(II) in complexes I–IV.

Kinetics of thermal decomposition of dinitramide

Kinetic regularities of thermal decomposition of dinitramide in aqueous and sulfuric acid solutions were studied in a wide temperature range. The rate of the thermal decomposition of dinitramide was established to be determined by the rates of decomposition of different forms of dinitramide as the acidity of the medium increases: first, N(NO₂)⁻ anions, then HN(NO₂)₂ molecules, and finally, protonated H₂N(NO₂)₂ ⁺ cations. The temperature dependences of the rate constants of the decomposition of N(NO₂)⁻ (k _an) and HN(NO₂)₂ (k′_ac) and the equilibrium constant of dissociation of HN(NO₂)₂ (K _a) were determined:k _an=1.7·10¹⁷ exp(−20.5·10³/T), s⁻¹,k′_ac=7.9·10¹⁶ exp(−16.1·10³/T), s⁻¹, andK _a=1.4·10 exp(−2.6·10³/T). The temperature dependences of the decomposition rate constant of H₂N(NO₂)₂ ⁺ (k _d) and the equilibrium constant of the dissociation of H₂N(NO₂)₂ ⁺ (K _d) were estimated:k _d=10¹² exp(−7.9·10³/T), s⁻¹ andK _d=1.1 exp(6.4·10³/T). The kinetic and thermodynamic constants obtained make it possible to calculate the decomposition rate of dinitramide solutions in a wide range of temperatures and acidities of the medium. In this series of articles, we report the results of studies of the thermal decomposition of dinitramide performed in 1974–1978 and not published previously. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Comparison of thermal properties of lanthanide trimellitates prepared by different methods

By diffusion in gel medium new complexes of formulae: Nd(btc)⋅6H₂O, Gd(btc)⋅4.5H₂O and Er(btc)·5H2O (where btc=(C₆H₃(COO)₃ ³⁻) were obtained. Isomorphous compounds were crystallized in the form of globules. During heating in air atmosphere they lose stepwise water molecules and then anhydrous complexes decompose to oxides. Hydrothermally synthesized polycrystalline lanthanide trimellitates form two groups of isomorphous compounds. The light lanthanides form very stable compounds of the formula Ln(btc)⋅nH₂O (where Ln=Ce−Gd and n=0 for Ce; n=1 for Gd; n=1.5 for La, Pr, Nd; n=2 for Eu, Sm). They dehydrate above 250°C and then immediately decomposition process occurs. Heavy lanthanides form complexes of formula Ln(btc)⋅nH₂O (_Ln=Dy−Lu). For mostly complexes, dehydration occurs in one step forming stable in wide range temperature compounds. As the final products of thermal decomposition lanthanide oxides are formed.     

Thermal behavior and thermal safety on 3,3-dinitroazetidinium salt of perchloric acid

3,3-Dinitroazetidinium (DNAZ) salt of perchloric acid (DNAZ·HClO₄) was prepared, it was characterized by the elemental analysis, IR, NMR, and a X-ray diffractometer. The thermal behavior and decomposition reaction kinetics of DNAZ·HClO₄ were investigated under a non-isothermal condition by DSC and TG/DTG techniques. The results show that the thermal decomposition process of DNAZ·HClO₄ has two mass loss stages. The kinetic model function in differential form, the value of apparent activation energy (E _a) and pre-exponential factor (A) of the exothermic decomposition reaction of DNAZ·HClO₄ are f(α) = (1 − α)⁻¹/2, 156.47 kJ mol⁻¹, and 10^15.12 s⁻¹, respectively. The critical temperature of thermal explosion is 188.5 °C. The values of ΔS ^≠, ΔH ^≠, and ΔG ^≠of this reaction are 42.26 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, 154.44 kJ mol⁻¹, and 135.42 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. The specific heat capacity of DNAZ·HClO₄ was determined with a continuous C _p mode of microcalorimeter. Using the relationship between C _p and T and the thermal decomposition parameters, the time of the thermal decomposition from initiation to thermal explosion (adiabatic time-to-explosion) was evaluated as 14.2 s.     

Preparation and reactivity of metal-containing monomers

The thermal decomposition of iron (III) acrylate, [Fe₃O(CH₂=CHCOO)₆ · 3H₂O]OH (FeAcr), a monomer with a complex cluster cation, has been studied at 200–370 °C. Thermal transformations of FeAcr occur in two temperature regions. The rates of gas evolution in the low temperature region (200–300 °C) and the high temperature region (300–370 °C) are described by first-order equations withk=4.2 · 10²¹exp[−59000/(RT)] s⁻¹ andk=1.3 · 10⁶exp[−30500/(RT)] s⁻¹, respectively. A study of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the products of FeAcr thermolysis was carried out. The thermal transformation of FeAcr is a complex process of dehydration, degradation, and polymerization in the solid phase followed by decarboxylation of the metal-carboxyl groups of the polymer. for part 33 see Ref. 1.

Kinetics of the peroxy RFO2 radical formation in the RHF-O2-CO2 gaseous mixtures

The kinetic data on the molecular oxygen activity of CH₃CH^·, CH₃CF₂ ^· and CF₃CHF^· radicals are reported. In laboratory, these radicals were generated by pulsed (12 ns) electron beam interaction with the gaseous RHF-O₂-CO₂ mixtures containing large excess of carbon dioxide (RHF = CH₃CH₂F, CH₃CHF₂ or CH₂FCF₃). The transient product (O₃ or RFO₂ ^·) formation was monitored by the UV absorptions at 250 nm and the rate constants of Reactions (4) and (9) were obtained. The values of k ₉ diminished with increasing number of fluorine atoms in RHF molecule. For CH₃CH₂F and CH₃CHF₂ the k ₉’s were equal to (8.8–10.2)^·10⁻¹⁴cm^{3 ·}s⁻¹ and (7.3–8.4)^·10⁻¹⁴cm^{3 ·}s⁻¹, respectively, and seem to be determined for the first time. In the case of CH₂FCF₃ the obtained value of k _CF3CHF+O2 = 5.20±0.76^·10⁻¹⁴cm^{3 ·}s⁻¹ is much higher than the value published in the literature.⁴ The other determined rate constant data are comparable to the literature values.     

Synthesis and characterization of new metal(II) complexes with formates and some nitrogen donor ligands

New mixed-ligands complexes with empirical formulae: M(2,4′-bpy)₂L₂·H₂O (M(II)Zn, Cd), Zn(2-bpy)₃L₂·4H₂O, Cd(2-bpy)₂L₂·3H₂O, M(phen)L₂·2H₂O (where M(II)=Mn, Ni, Zn, Cd; 2,4′-bpy=2,4′-bipyridine, 2-bpy=2,2′-bipyridine, phen=1,10-phenanthroline, L=HCOO⁻) were prepared in pure solid state. They were characterized by chemical, thermal and X-ray powder diffraction analysis, IR spectroscopy, molar conductance in MeOH, DMF and DMSO. Examinations of OCO⁻ absorption bands suggest versatile coordination behaviour of obtained complexes. The 2,4′-bpy acts as monodentate ligand; 2-bpy and phen as chelating ligands. Thermal studies were performed in static air atmosphere. When the temperature raised the dehydration processes started. The final decomposition products, namely MO (Ni, Zn, Cd) and Mn₃O₄, were identified by X-ray diffraction.     

The structure and thermal behaviour of sodium and potassium multinuclear compounds with hexamethylenetetramine

Sodium and potassium thiocyanate complex compounds of formulae [Na(hmta)(H₂O)₄]₂²⁺·2SCN⁻ (1) and [K₂(hmta)(SCN)₂] _n (2) have been synthesized and characterised by IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry coupled with differential thermal analysis, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. Each sodium and potassium cation is six co-ordinated, the sodium by one monofunctional hmta molecule, three terminal water molecules and two bridging water molecules, and the potassium by two bridging tetrafunctional hmta molecules and four bridging tetrafunctional thiocyanate ions. The coordination polyhedra of the central atoms can be described as distorted tetragonal bipyramids. The complex cations and anions of (1) are interconnected by multiple intramolecular O(water)—H···N(hmta/NCS) and O(water)—H···S hydrogen bonds to the three dimensional net. In each complex cation the intramolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds link two terminal water molecules bonded to two metal cations. The compound (2) forms the three dimensional hybrid network in which the classical two-dimensional coordination polymers are linked by inorganic SCN⁻ spacers to the third-dimension. Thermal analyses show that the compounds decompose gradually in three (for 1) and two (for 2) steps with formation of Na₂SO₄ and K₂S as the final products, respectively, for 1 and 2.     

The Thermal Decomposition of Magnesium(II) Complexes with Acetic and Halogenacetic Acids

Thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and other analytical methods have been applied to the investigation of the thermal behaviour and structure of the compounds Mg(Ac)₂ × 2H₂ O(I), Mg(ClAc)₂ ×2H₂ O(II) and Mg(Cl₂ Ac)₂ ×H₂ O(III) (Ac =CH₃ COO⁻ , ClAc =ClCH2COO⁻ , Cl ₂ Ac =Cl₂ CHCOO⁻ ). The solid phased intermediate and resultant products of thermolysis had been identified. The possible scheme of destruction of the complexes is suggested. The halogenacetato magnesium complexes (II–III) are thermally more stable than the acetatomagnesium complex I. The final products of the decomposition of compounds were MgO. Infrared (IR) data suggest to a unidentate coordination of carboxylate ions to magnesium ions in complexes I–III.

The compound [Ni(NH₃)₆][VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)]₂ was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and vibrational spectra. The single crystal X-ray study revealed that the structure consists of [Ni(NH₃)₆]²⁺ and [VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)]⁻ ions. As a result of weak interionic interactions V′···O_p (O_p-peroxo oxygen), ([VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)]⁻)₂ dimers are formed in the solid-state. The thermal decomposition of [Ni(NH₃)₆][VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)]₂ is a multi-step process with overlapped individual steps; no defined intermediates were obtained. The final solid products of thermal decomposition up to 600°C were Ni₂V₂O₇ and V₂O₅.     

Syntheses and structures of nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with biacetyl bis(benzoylhydrazone): one-dimensional self-assembly via π–π interaction and hydrogen bonding

Reactions of Ni(O₂CCH₃)₂·4H₂O and Cu(O₂CCH₃)₂·H₂O with biacetyl bis(benzoylhydrazone) (H₂babh) in alcoholic media afford mononuclear nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of general formula [M(babh)]. The complexes have been characterized by microanalysis (C, H, N), magnetic susceptibility, and various spectroscopic measurements. X-ray structures of both complexes have been determined. The metal centre in [Ni(babh)] is in square-planar N₂O₂ environment provided by the tetradentate babh²⁻. On the other hand, [Cu(babh)] crystallizes as distorted square-pyramidal [Cu(babh)(CH₃OH)] from methanol. Here the tetradentate babh²⁻ constitutes the N₂O₂ square-base and the O-coordinating methanol occupies the apical site. In the crystal lattice, the molecules of [Ni(babh)] form a one-dimensional π-stacked structure. The [Cu(babh)(CH₃OH)] molecules also form a one-dimensional structure with alternating long and short Cu···Cu distances via intermolecular O–H···N hydrogen bonding and π–π interaction.     

Sulfanilamide copper(II) chelates with 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl-imino)methyl]phenolom and 1-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino)-methyl]naphthalen-2-ol

2-[(2-Hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]phenol (H²L¹) and 1-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]naphthalen-2-ol (H²L²) reacted with copper(II) acetate hydrate and sulfanilamide (Sf¹), sulfathiazole (Sf²), sulfaethidole (Sf³), sulfadiazine (Sf⁴), and sulfadimidine (Sf⁵) in ethanol to give mixed-ligand copper chelates with the composition Cu(Sf^1–5)(L^1–2) · n H₂O (n = 1, 2). All these complexes are monomeric. Salicylaldehyde imines (H₂L¹ and H₂L²) behave as doubly deprotonated tridentate O,N,O ligands, whereas sulfanilamides (Sf^1–5) are unidentate ligands. Thermolysis of the synthesized complexes includes dehydration at 70–90°C, followed by complete thermal decomposition (290–380°C). The complexes [Cu(Sf¹)(L¹)] · 2H₂O and [Cu(Sf³)(L¹)] · H₂O at a concentration of 10⁻⁴ M inhibited growth and reproduction of 100% of human myeloid leukemia cells (HL-60). The inhibitory effect was 90 and 75%, respectively, at a concentration of 10⁻⁵ M, whereas no antitumor activity was observed at a concentration of 10⁻⁶ M.     

Kinetics of the radical reactions in pulse radiolyzed RHF — CO2(SF6)-O2-NO gaseous mixtures; RHF = CH3CH2F, CH3CHF2, CH3CF3, CH2FCF3

The kinetics of the peroxy radicals RHFO₂ reactions with NO has been studied by using pulse radiolysis and UV absorption spectroscopy. The rate constants of interaction of oxygen atoms with NO − k ₂ = 2.2±0.2·10⁻¹² cm³·s⁻¹ and NO₂ − k ₃ = 2.1±0.2·10⁻¹¹ cm³·s⁻¹ were found in agreement with the literature values. The bath gases (SF₆ or CO₂) have got minor effect on the rate constants of RHFO₂+NO→NO₂+prod. reactions; RHFO₂ = CH₃CH₂O₂, CH₃CHFO₂, CH₃CF₂O₂, CF₃CH₂O₂, CF₃CHFO₂. The obtained rate coefficients are in the scope of the literature values, although they are lower than those recommended in NIST database. The reasons are discussed.     

Research of thermal decomposition of hydrated methanesulfonates

Hydrated methanesulfonates Ln(CH₃SO₃)₃·nH₂O (Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Yb) and Zn(CH₃SO₃)₂·nH₂O were synthesized. The effect of atmosphere on thermal decomposition products of these methanesulfonates was investigated. Thermal decomposition products in air atmosphere of these compounds were characterized by infrared spectrometry, the content of metallic ion in thermal decomposition products were determined by complexometric titration. The results show that the thermal decomposition atmosphere has evident effect on decomposition products of hydrated La(III), Pr(III) and Nd(III) methanesulfonates, and no effect on that of hydrated Ce(III), Yb(III) and Zn(II) methanesulfonates.

Thermal study of zinc(II) salicylate complex compounds with bioactive ligands

Five new complex compounds of general formula Zn(Hsal)_2·L₂·nH₂O (where Hsal=OHC₆H₄COO^-, L=thiourea (tu), nicotinamide (nam), caffeine (caf), theobromine (tbr), n=2-4), were prepared and characterized by chemical analysis, IR spectroscopy and studied by methods of thermal analysis (TG/DTG, DTA).

RTG powder diffraction method, IR spectra and chemical analysis were used for the determination of products of the thermal decomposition. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Some donor-acceptor complexes of silicon phthalocyanine dianions

Studying the reaction of PcSiX₂ (X = Cl, OH) with KOH in DMSO we first discovered red D-A complexes [(Pc²⁻)·PcSiX²] and [(Pc²⁻)·O²] in which silicon phthalocyanine dianion Pc²⁻ is a donor, and the parent phthalocyanine silicon or oxygen are acceptors of electron density. The complexes were characterized by electron absorption, NMR, and ESR spectra. In the reactions with Me₃SiCl, H₂O, or CH₃COOH the complexes regenerate phthalocyanine and O₂. In O₂ atmosphere the [(Pc²⁻)·O₂] complex gradually degrades affording a product of unknown nature.
