Potentiometric, spectroscopic and thermal studies on the metal chelates of 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthalenol

The synthesis and characterization of Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pd(II) and UO2(II) chelates of 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthalenol (TAN) were reported. The dissociation constants of the ligand and the stability constants of the metal complexes were calculated pH-metrically at 25 degrees C and 0.1 M ionic strength. The solid complexes were characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, molar conductance, IR, magnetic and diffuse reflectance spectra. The complexes were found to have the formulae [M(L)2] for M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II); [M(L)X].nH2O for M = Cu(II) (X = AcO, n = 3), Pd(II) (X = Cl, n = 0) and UO2(II) (X = NO3, n = 0), and [Fe(L)Cl2(H2O)].2H2O. The molar conductance data reveal that the chelates are non-electrolytes. IR spectra show that the ligand is coordinated to the metal ions in a terdentate manner with ONN donor sites of the naphthyl OH, azo N and thiazole N. An octahedral structure is proposed for Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and UO2(II) complexes and a square planar structure for Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes. The thermal behaviour of these chelates shows that water molecules (coordinated and hydrated) and anions are removed in two successive steps followed immediately by decomposition of the ligand molecule in the subsequent steps. The relative thermal stability of the chelates is evaluated. The final decomposition products are found to be the corresponding metal oxides. The thermodynamic activation parameters, such as E*, delta H*, delta S* and delta G* are calculated from the TG curves.     

Adsorption behaviour of some metal complexes with ferron on Zeo-Karb-226: An atomic absorption spectrophotometric (AAS) study

Summary The adsorption behaviour of ten metal complexes Cr(III), Cr(VI), Mn(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) with ferron on Zeo-Karb-226 in the H⁺ form was investigated at eight different pH-values in order to develop a preconcentration technique for trace amounts of these elements in aqueous solution. The concentrations of the remaining unadsorbed metal ions were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Under the present experimental conditions, Cr(III) and Pb(II) can be quantitatively determined within the pH range 4–8, while for Cd(II), the optimum pH-range is 7–11. But at pH 11, more than 95% of Cu(II) and Co(II) can be extracted from aqueous solution. The suitability of the technique has been evaluated by analyzing cadmium in simulated water samples. The results indicate that as low as 5 g 1^–1 of CD can be recovered with more than 96% efficiency from 11 of simulated water solution.

Bei pH 11 werden jedoch mehr als 95% Cu(II) und Co(II) aus der wäßrigen Lösung extrahiert. Der Nutzen des Verfahrens wurde durch Bestimmung von Cd(II) in simulierten Wasserproben erwiesen. Noch 5 g/l Cd können zu mehr als 96% aus 11 Wasserprobe wiedergefunden werden.

     

Thermal and kinetic studies on solid complexes of 2-(2-benzimidazolylazo)-4-acetamidophenol with some transition metals

The preparation and characterization of 2-(2-benzimidazolylazo)-4-acetamidophenol (BIAAP) complexes are reported. Different physico-chemical methods like IR, Magnetic, solid reflectance spectra and molar conductance, were used to investigate the structure of BIAAP complexes. In particular, the thermal decomposition of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes of BIAAP is studied in nitrogen atmosphere. All the complexes do not contain coordinated water molecules but contain (2-4) water molecules of crystallization. The water molecules were removed in a single step. The complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) ions exhibited a phase transition and the decomposition or combustion of BIAAP occurred in the second and subsequent steps. The final decomposition products were identified by mass spectrometry as the corresponding metal oxides or carbonate. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as, energy of activation, enthalpy, entropy and free energy change of the complexes were evaluated and the stabilities of the thermal decomposition of the complexes are discussed. From the kinetic point of view, it is found that the thermal stability of the complexes follows the order Ni(II) > Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Fe(III) > Co(II) > Cd(II).

The limits of detection were n × 10^–8–n × 10^–7 mol/L; the linearity ranges in the calibration graphs were of about three orders of magnitude; the relative standard deviation was of 3–7%.     

Effect of the Nature of Crosslinking Agent on the Catalase‐Like Activity of Polystyrene‐Bound Glycine–Metal Complexes

Abstract

Catalase‐like activity of metal complexes of various crosslinked polystyrene‐supported glycines were carried out and correlated with the nature of crosslinking agent in the polymer support. Polystyrenes with 2 mol% divinyl benzene (DVB), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and 1,6‐hexanediol diacrylate (HDODA) crosslinking were used as polymer supports. Glycine functions were incorporated to the chloromethylpolystyrenes by polymer analogues reactions and complexed with Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) ions. The metal uptake varied in the order: Cu(II) > Cr(III) > Mn(II) > Co(II) > Fe(III) > Ni(II) > Zn(II), and extent of metal uptake by various crosslinked systems varied with the nature of crosslinking agent. The polymeric ligands and the metal complexes were characterized by various analytical techniques. The catalytic activities of these metal complexes were investigated towards the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and was found to decrease in the order: Co(II) > Cu(II) > Ni(II) > Cr(III) > Fe(III) > Mn(II) > Zn(II). With increasing rigidity of the crosslinking agent the catalytic activity also decreased.     

Salisaldehyde-2-aminobenzimidazole schiff base complexes of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)

New metal complexes of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with salicylidine-2-aminobenzimidazole (SABI) are synthesized and their physicochemical properties are investigated using elemental and thermal analyses, IR, conductometric, solid reflectance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The base reacts with these metal ions to give 1:1 (Metal:SABI) complexes; in cases of Fe(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions; and 1:2 (Metal:SABI) complexes; in case of Ni(II) ion. The conductance data reveal that Fe(III) complex is 2:1 electrolyte, Co(II) is 1:2 electrolyte, Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes are 1:1 electrolytes while Ni(II) is non-electrolyte. IR spectra showed that the ligand is coordinated to the metal ions in a terdentate mannar with O, N, N donor sites of the phenloic -OH, azomethine -N and benzimidazole -N3. Magnetic and solid reflectance spectra are used to infer the coordinating capacity of the ligand and the geometrical structure of these complexes. The thermal decomposition of the complexes is studied and indicates that not only the coordinated and/or crystallization water is lost but also that the decomposition of the ligand from the complexes is necessary to interpret the successive mass loss. Different thermodynamic activation parameters are also reported, using Coats-Redfern method. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

The thermal decomposition of the metal complexes was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The kinetic thermodynamic parameters, E*, ΔH*, ΔS* and ΔG*, were calculated using Coats and Redfern and Horowitz and Metzger equations. The ligand and its complexes have been studied for possible biological activity including antibacterial and antifungal activity.     

Elaborated spectral,modeling, QSAR,docking, thermal,antimicrobial and anticancer activity studies for new nanosized metal ion complexes derived from sulfamerazine azodye

New azodye ligand (H₂L) and its relative Cr(III)-, Mn(II)-, Fe(III)-, Co(II)-, Ni(II)-, Cu(II)-, Zn(II)- and Cd(II)-nanosized complexes were prepared. A new synthesized compounds were characterized using spectral (mass, IR, UV–Vis, XRD, and ESR) and analytical (elemental, molar conductance, thermal and magnetic moment measurements) tools. Infrared spectra showed that the ligand behaves as a monobasic bidentate, coordinating with central atoms through carbonyl oxygen and α-hydroxyl group. The geometrical structures of Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes were found to be in octahedral configuration, whereas Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes have tetrahedral forms. XRD patterns reflect an amorphous appearance of all investigated complexes. TEM images showed nanosized particles and identical distribution over the complex surface. Molecular modeling for the drug ligand and its metal ion complexes were performed using Gaussian09 program to assert on their structural formulae. Some essential parameters were extracted using HOMO and LUMO energies. AutoDock tools 4.2 was used to simulate the interaction process with infected cell proteins to expect the experimental pathway. The inhibition activity of drug ligand and its metal ion complexes was evaluated towards different types of bacteria and fungi through in vitro antimicrobial activities. The antitumor activities of all compounds are straightened towards human liver carcinoma (HEPG2) cell lines. Fe(III) and Co(II) complexes exhibited IC₅₀ of 2.90 and 4.23 µg mL^?1, respectively, which means they are more potent anticancer drug than the standard (doxorubicin, IC₅₀ = 4.73 µg mL^?1). Therefore, the two complexes may consider promising anticancer drugs.

Novel Schiff base ligand based on the condensation of 4,6-diacetyl resorcinol with 2-amino-4-methylthiazole in addition to its metal complexes with Cr (III), Mn (II), Fe (III), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II) and Cd (II) ions have been synthesized. The structure, electronic properties, and thermal behaviour of Schiff base and its metal complexes have been studied by elemental analysis, mass, ¹H NMR, IR spectra, thermal analysis, and theoretically by density function theory. The ligand acted as mononegative bidentate (NO) ligand and all complexes showed octahedral geometry except Cu (II) showed tetrahedral geometry as indicated from the spectral and magnetic studies. The Cu (II), Zn (II) and Cd (II) complexes were non electrolytes while the rest of the complexes were electrolytes. The antibacterial plus anticancer activities of the parent Schiff base and its metal complexes were screened. In addition, the molecular docking study was performed to explore the possible ways for binding to Crystal Structure of Human Astrovirus capsid protein (5ibv) receptor.

The molecular parameters have been calculated to confirm the geometry of 3-methyl-5-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1-H-pyrazole-4-carbothioamide, HL. The compound is introduced as a new chelating agent for complexation with Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions. The isolated chelates were characterized by partial elemental analyses, magnetic moments, spectra (IR, UV–vis, ESR; ¹H NMR) and thermal studies. The protonation constant of HL (5.04) and the stepwise stability constants of its Co(II), Cu(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes were calculated. The ligand coordinates as a monobasic bidentate through hydroxo and thiol groups in all complexes except Cr(III) which acts as a monobasic monodentate through the enolized carbonyl oxygen. Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes measured normal magnetic moments; Cu(II) and Co(II) measured subnormal while Ni(II) complex is diamagnetic. The data confirm a high spin and low spin octahedral structures for the Fe(III) and Co(II) complexes. The ESR spectrum of the Cu(II) complex support the binuclear structure. The molecular parameters have also been calculated for the Cu(II) and Fe(III) complexes. The thermal decomposition stages of the complexes confirm the MS to be the residual part. Also, the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were calculated for some decomposition steps.     

Synthesis,characterization, and biological activity of some transition metal complexes with Schiff base ligands derived from 4-amino-5-phenyl-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and salicaldehyde

Abstract  

The coordination behaviour of a Schiff base with SNO donation sites, derived from condensation of 4-amino-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and salicaldehyde, towards some bi- and trivalent metal ions, namely Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II) (Cl, ClO₄), Ni(II) (Cl, ClO₄), Cu(II), and Zn(II), is reported. The metal complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, and thermal analyses (TG, DTG, and DTA). The ionization constant of the Schiff base under investigation and the stability constants of its metal chelates were calculated pH-metrically at 25 °C and ionic strength μ = 0.1 M in 50% (v/v) ethanol–water mixture. The chelates were found to have octahedral (Mn(II)), trigonal bipyramidal (Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II)), and tetrahedral (Cr(III), Fe(III), and Cu(II)) structures. The ligand and its binary chelates were subjected to thermal analyses and the different thermodynamic activation parameters were calculated from their corresponding DTG curves to throw more light on the nature of changes accompanying the thermal decomposition process of these compounds. The free Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were tested in vitro against Aspergillus flavus, Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, and A. niger fungi and Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli bacteria in order to assess their antimicrobial potential. The results indicate that the ligand and its metal complexes possess antimicrobial properties.     

The Study of Influence of Metal Ions on Thermal Decomposition of Humic Acids

Investigations of the influence of the following metal ions: Ca, Mg, Ba, Cr, Mn,Co, Ni, Fe(II), Fe(III), Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Hg, Al and Ag on thermal decomposition of humic acids were carried out. Metal-humic compounds were obtained by ion exchange method and by complexing of metal cations on humic acids. For the investigations of thermal decomposition TG and DTA were used. Presence of metal ions in structure of humic acids mostly increases intensity of their thermal decomposition particularly the Hg and Cu ions.They shift this process to lower temperatures 100–300°C. Mass loss of organic matter in this temperature range in humic-mercury compounds are higher by more than 35%, and in humic-copper compounds are higher by more than 20% compared with the mass loss of humic acids itself. Ni and Co ions also increase the intensity of thermal decomposition of humic acids, but Ca, Ba and Mg ions inhibit that process. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Thermal decomposition reactions of metal carboxylato complexes in the solid state. I.: Thermographic and differential thermal studies of metal oxalato,malonato and succinato complexes

Thermal investigation of metal carboxylato complexes of the first transition metals, Mn(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) and non-transition metals like Zn(II) and Cd(II) in the solid state has been carried out under non-isothermal conditions in nitrogen atmosphere by simultaneous TG and DTA. TG and DTA curves inferred that the thermal stability of the complex decreased approximately with the increase of the standard potential of the central metal ion. The thermal parameters like activation energy, E_a, enthalpy change, ΔH, and entropy change, ΔS, corresponding to the dehydration and decomposition of the complexes are determined from TG and DTA curves by standard methods. A linear correlation is found between ΔH and ΔS and E_a and ΔS in dehydration and decomposition processes. DTA curves show an irreversible phase transition for Na₂Mn(mal)₂], Na₂[Cu(mal)₂] and Na₂,[Co(suc)₂] complexes. The residual products in these decomposition processes being a mixture of two oxides, of oxide and carbonate or a mixture of two carbonates.     

Thermal and spectral studies on complexes derived from tetradentate Schiff bases

Several new complexes of Schiff bases ligands H₄La and H₄Lb with transition metal ions such as Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II) and Zn(II) are synthesized. Elemental analysis, infrared, UV–Vis and thermal analysis, as well as conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements are used to elucidate the structure of the newly prepared metal complexes.

The limits of detection were in the "150-500 ng/mL" range, corresponding to 15-50 pg amounts reaching the FID system. The optimised method was applied to the determination of Cu(II) and Ni(II) in coins, and that of Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Cr(III), and VO(II) in pharmaceutical preparations with relative standard deviations within 1.1-5.2%. The results obtained are in good agreement with sewage water samples and the declared values for the pharmaceutical formulations, or with the results of AAS of metal contents in coins, pharmaceutical preparations, and sewage water samples.
