Synthesis,characterization and in vitro biological activity of cobalt(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) Schiff base complexes derived from salicylaldehyde and D,L‐selenomethionine

New cobalt(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of Schiff base derived from D,L ‐selenomethionine and salicylaldehyde were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic spectra, conductance measurements, magnetic measurements and biological activity. The analytical data showed that the Schiff base ligand acts as tridentate towards divalent metal ions (cobalt, copper, zinc) via the azomethine‐N, carboxylate oxygen and phenolato oxygen by a stoichiometric reaction of M:L (1:1) to form metal complexes [ML(H₂O)], where L is the Schiff base ligand derived from D,L ‐selenomethionine and salicylaldehyde and M = Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II). ¹H NMR spectral data of the ligand and Zn(II) complex agree with proposed structures. The conductivity values between 12.87 and 15.63 S cm² mol^?1 in DMF imply the presence of non‐electrolyte species. Antibacterial and antifungal results indicate that the metal complexes are more active than the ligand. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

All of the complexes exhibit a band atca. 25000 cm^–1 due to the ligand to metal charge transfer transition.     

Mixed ligand five coordinate cobalt(II) complexes of a polymer-bound schiff base derived from 2-aminobenzimidazole

The complexes resulting from the interaction of a new Schiff base ligand derived from crosslinked polystyrene bound benzaldehyde and 2-aminobenzimidazole with a square planar complex [Co(TPP)] (where TPP = meso-tetraphenylporphyrin), and also with tetrahedral complexes [Co(BPBI)₂X₂] (where BPBI = 1-benzyl-2-phenylbenzimidazole, X = Cl, Br, or NCS) have been isolated and characterized. The percentages of cobalt and nitrogen in the complexes show that only one Schiff base unit is coordinated to cobalt. Infrared spectra suggest that the bonding of the polymer ligand to cobalt is through the N-3 atom of the benzimidazole moiety. The EPR spectra indicate that all the complexes are in the low-spin state and have a square pyramidal environment around cobalt(II). © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Syntheses and characterization of copper(II) complexes with Schiff-base ligands derived from ethylenediamine,diphenylethylenediamine and nitro,bromo and methoxy salicylaldehyde

Copper(II) quelates with Schiff bases derived from ethylenediamine, 1R,2R-(+)- or 1S,2S-(−)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine and 5-X-salicylaldehyde (X=OCH₃, H, Br, NO₂) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR and UV-visible spectroscopies. The ORD and CD spectra of the chiral ligands and their related complexes have also been measured. The absorption and CD spectra of the metal complexes in the visible region are consistent with near square planar coordination geometries. Trends in absorption spectra over the series of complexes can be correlated with electronic effects of the substituents at position 5 of the salicylaldehyde. The sign patterns of the CD spectra in both UV and visible regions suggest the prevalence of δ and λ conformations for the chelate ring in the complexes of Schiff bases derived, respectively, from R,R- and S,S-diamines. Specific features of the CD spectra of the metal complexes are discussed in terms of the exciton chirality method.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of asymmetric Schiff bases derived from 4′-formylbenzo-15-crown-5 containing recognition sites for alkali and transition metal guest cations

Asymmetric salen-type Schiff base ligands have been synthesized via a stepwise approach. In the first step, mono-Schiff base compounds were prepared by condensation of salicylaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with hydrazine hydrate. These compounds were then reacted with 4′-formylbenzo-15-crown-5 to prepare asymmetric ligands. ¹H-NMR spectra indicate that the mono- and asymmetric bis-Schiff base compounds exist in both (E) and (Z) isomeric forms in CDCl₃ solution. The asymmetric crown compounds form crystalline 1:1 (Na⁺:ligand) complexes with sodium perchlorate. Homo-metallic Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 1:2 (metal:ligand) stoichiometries have also been synthesized. The results indicate that the Schiff base ligands coordinate through the azomethine nitrogen and phenolic oxygen.
