It is also shown that Pt(H₂O)2(PH₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) (CF₃SO₃)₂ is at least as effective as the corresponding Pd compound, while much lower reaction rates are observed with [Rh(MeOH)₂(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂)] [BF₄].     

Sulfur-Bonded Coordination Compounds of Palladium(II) and Platinum(II) and Their Antimicrobial Activity

The synthetic, spectroscopic, and biological studies of some new palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes derived from biologically active sulfur donor ligands 1H-indol-2,3-dione benzothiazoline (Bzt ₁ H) and 5-nitro-1H-indol-2,3-dione benzothiazoline (Bzt ₂ H) have been described. The reactions were carried out in 1:2 molar ratios. The authenticity of the benzothiazolines and their complexes has been established on the basis of elemental analyses; molecular weight determinations; and IR, ¹ H NMR, ¹³ C NMR, and UV spectral studies. Based on IR and ¹ H NMR spectral studies, a square-planar structure has been assigned to these complexes. Studies were conducted to assess the comparative growth inhibiting potential of the synthesized complexes against the benzothiazolines for a variety of fungal and bacterial strains. The studies demonstrate that the ligands and complexes possess antimicrobial properties. Further, it was noted that the growth-inhibiting potential of the complexes is greater than the parent benzothiazolines.     

New Palladium(II) Complexes with a Tridentate PNO Ligand

The synthesis of neutral and cationic palladium complexes containing the tridentate monoanionic ligand [2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O]^? is described. Deprotonation of the Schiff base formed by condensation of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde with 2-aminophenol in the presence of the appropriate palladium precursor ([Pd(AcO)₂] or [PdCl₂(PhCN)₂]) form the corresponding neutral complexes [Pd{2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O}(AcO)] (1) or [Pd{2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O}(Cl)] (2) in good yield. The first reacts smoothly with thiols and activated phenols to give complexes of general formula [Pd{2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O}(X)] (X = OC₆F₅ (3), SEt (4), S^tBu (5), SC₆H₅ (6), SC₆H₄-4Me (7), SC₆H₄-4NO₂ (8)). When the chloro complex is treated with silver perchlorate and tertiary phosphines (L) the cationic derivatives [Pd{2-(2-Ph₂PC₆H₄-CH=N)C₆H₄O}(L)][ClO₄] (L = PPh₃ (9), PMePh₂ (10), PMe₂Ph (11), PEt₃ (12)) were obtained.

Synthesis,Structures and Spectroscopic Properties of Platinum(II), Palladium(II) and Copper(I) Halide Complexes with Pyrimidine‐phosphine Ligand

The reactions of pyrimidine‐phosphine ligand N‐[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]‐2‐pyrimidinamine ( L ) with various metal salts of Pt^II, Pd^II and Cu^I provide three new halide metal complexes, Pt₂Cl₄(μ‐L)₂·2CH₂Cl₂ ( 1 ), Pd₂Cl₄(μ‐L)₂ ( 2 ), and [Cu₂(μ‐I)₂L₂]_n ( 3 ). Single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies show that complexes 1 and 2 display a similar bimetallic twelve‐membered ring structure, while complex 3 consists of one‐dimensional polymeric chains, which are further connected into a 2‐D supramolecular framework through hydrogen bonds. In the binuclear complexes 1 and 2 , the ligand L serves as a bridge with the N and P as coordination atoms, but in the polymeric complex 3 , both bridging and chelating modes are adopted by the ligand. The spectroscopic properties of complexes 1 ‐ 3 as well as L have been investigated, in which complex 3 exhibits intense photoluminescence originating from intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) π→π* and metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MLCT) excited states both in acetonitrile solution and solid state, respectively.     

Sulfobridged Polynuclear Complexes of Platinum(II) and Palladium(II)

When the platinum(II) and palladium(II) salts interact with ligands such as cystamine-(mercamine) HSCH₂CH₂NH₂ and 2-mercaptoethanol HSCH₂CH₂OH under certain conditions, polynuclear complexes of the compositions are obtained: [Pt₆(SCH₂CH₂NH₂)₈]Cl₄. 5H₂O and [Pd₆(SCH₂CH₂OH)₈]Cl₄. In a comparative study of the IR and X-ray spectra of synthesized complexes and ligands, as well as the results of X-ray diffraction studies, it was established that sulfur atoms of 2-mercaptoethanol occupy a bridge position with a mixed coordination of ligands in the palladium complex. In the platinum(II) complex bidentate coordination of ligands is realized through sulfur and nitrogen atoms.     

Heterodinuclear Ruthenium(II) Complexes of the Bridging Ligand 1,6,7,12‐Tetraazaperylene with Iron(II), Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), as well as Palladium(II) and Platinum(II)

The first heterodinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes of the 1,6,7,12‐tetraazaperylene (tape) bridging ligand with iron(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) were synthesized and characterized. The metal coordination sphere in this complexes is filled by the tetradentate N,N′‐dimethyl‐2,11‐diaza[3.3](2,6)‐pyridinophane (L‐N₄Me₂) ligand, yielding complexes of the general formula [(L‐N₄Me₂)Ru(µ‐tape)M(L‐N₄Me₂)](ClO₄)₂(PF₆)₂ with M = Fe {[ 2 ](ClO₄)₂(PF₆)₂}, Co {[ 3 ](ClO₄)₂(PF₆)₂}, and Ni {[ 4 ](ClO₄)₂(PF₆)₂}. Furthermore, the heterodinuclear tape ruthenium(II) complexes with palladium(II)‐ and platinum(II)‐dichloride [(bpy)₂Ru(μ‐tape)PdCl₂](PF₆)₂ {[ 5 ](PF₆)₂} and [(dmbpy)₂Ru(μ‐tape)PtCl₂](PF₆)₂ {[ 6 ](PF₆)₂}, respectively were also prepared. The molecular structures of the complex cations [ 2 ]⁴⁺ and [ 4 ]⁴⁺ were discussed on the basis of the X‐ray structures of [ 2 ](ClO₄)₄ · MeCN and [ 4 ](ClO₄)₄ · MeCN. The electrochemical behavior and the UV/Vis absorption spectra of the heterodinuclear tape ruthenium(II) complexes were explored and compared with the data of the analogous mono‐ and homodinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes of the tape bridging ligand.     

Structural and Oxidation State Alternatives in Platinum and Palladium Complexes of a Redox-Active Amidinato Ligand

Reaction of [Pt(DMSO)₂Cl₂] or [Pd(MeCN)₂Cl₂] with the electron-rich LH=N,N’-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethanimidamide yielded mononuclear [PtL₂] ( 1 ) but dinuclear [Pd₂L₄] ( 2 ), a paddle-wheel complex. The neutral compounds were characterized through experiments (crystal structures, electrochemistry, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, magnetic resonance) and TD-DFT calculations as metal(II) species with noninnocent ligands L⁻. The reversibly accessible cations [PtL₂]⁺ and [Pd₂L₄]⁺ were also studied, the latter as [Pd₂L₄][B{3,5-(CF₃)₂C₆H₃}₄] single crystals. Experimental and computational investigations were directed at the elucidation of the electronic structures, establishing the correct oxidation states within the alternatives [Pt^II(L⁻)₂] or [Pt^.(L )₂], [Pt^II(L^0.5−)₂]⁺ or [Pt^III(L⁻)₂]⁺, [(Pd^II)₂(μ-L⁻)₄] or [(Pd^1.5)₂(μ-L^0.75−)₄], and [(Pd^2.5)₂(μ-L⁻)₄]⁺ or [(Pd^II)₂(μ-L^0.75−)₄]⁺. In each case, the first alternative was shown to be most appropriate. Remarkable results include the preference of platinum for mononuclear planar [PtL₂] with an N-Pt-N bite angle of 62.8(2)° in contrast to [Pd₂L₄], and the dimetal (Pd₂⁴⁺→Pd₂⁵⁺) instead of ligand (L⁻→L ) oxidation of the dinuclear palladium compound.

Screening of antiamoebic activity of these compounds was performed in vitro against the HK‐9 strain of E. histolytica. All the complexes were more active than their respective ligands; compound 3a showed the most promising activity.

Luminescent Platinum(II) Complexes with Bidentate Diacetylide Ligands: Structures,Photophysical Properties and Application Studies

A series of platinum(II) complexes supported by terphenyl diacetylide as well as diimine or bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been prepared. The diacetylide ligands adopt a cis coordination mode featuring non-planar terphenyl moieties as revealed by X-ray crystallographic analyses.

These platinum(II) diimine complexes show broad emission with peak maxima from 566 nm to 706 nm, with two of them having emission quantum yields >60% and lifetimes <2 μs in solutions at room temperature, whereas the platinum(II) diacetylide complexes having bis-N-heterocyclic carbene instead of diimine ligand display photoluminescence with quantum yields of up to 28% in solutions and excited state lifetimes of up to 62 μs at room temperature. Application studies revealed that one of the complexes can catalyze photoinduced aerobic dehydrogenation of alcohols and alkenes, and a relatively non-toxic water-soluble Pt(II) complex displays anti-angiogenic activity.

Abstract

Four different series of N,N-dimethylaminoalkylchalcogenolates, viz. Me₂NCH₂ CH₂E^?, Me₂NCH(Me)CH₂E^?, Me₂NCH₂CH(Me)E^?, and Me₂NCH₂CH₂CH₂E^? (E = S, Se, Te), (referred as E^∩N) have been synthesized and characterized. Their reactions with palladium(II) and platinum(II) precursors have been explored. Complexes of the general formula, [MCl(E^∩N)]_n, [MCl(E^∩N)₂]_n, [MCl(E^∩N)(PR₃)], [M₂Cl₂(μ-E^∩N)₂(PR₃)₂], [M₂(μ-E^∩N)₂(P^∩P)₂]²⁺, etc. have been isolated. All the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ⁷⁷Se, ¹²⁵Te, ¹⁹⁵Pt), UV-vis, and FAB mass spectral data. A weak absorption in the electronic spectra of [MCl(E^∩N)(PR₃)] has been attributed to metal mediated ligand-to-ligand charge transfer and showed pronounced chalcogen dependence being red shifted on moving from S → Se → Te. Structures of several complexes have been established by X-ray diffraction analyses. Thermal behavior of some of these complexes has been investigated by TGA.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Three Palladium（Ⅱ） Complexes with Isonitrosobenzoylacetoneimine Ligand

Three palladium (II) complexes with the isonitrosobenzoylacetoneimine (HIBI) ligand, Pd (p‐CH₃C₆H₄IBI)₂ (1), Pd (C₆H₅IBI)₂ (2) and Pd₂Cl₂ (C₆H₅CH₂IBI)₂ · CHCl₃ (3), were prepared and characterized by IR, Raman and X‐ray diffraction studies. The geometries around the palladium atoms in the complexes 1 and 2 are distorted trans‐PdN₄ square planes, and the Schiff base ligands RIBI^? are coordinated through their oximo‐nitrogen atoms and imino‐nitrogen atoms. The week Pd…H? C agostic interactions [Pd…H = 0.2764 nm] complete the hexacoordinate environment around palladium in the complex 1. The octahedral deformation of the classical square planar environment of the Pd atom is due to the week Pd…O (1b) interactions [Pd? O (1b) = 0.3157 (9) nm] in the complex 2. The complex 3 is a first example of binuclear complex with isonitrosoketoimine ligands, in which one of oximo groups is coordinated through oximo‐nitrogen and oximo‐oxygen atoms.
