Synthesis and physiochemical studies on binuclear Cu(II) complexes derived from 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-4-substituted phenols

Preparation of the ligands HL¹ = 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-p-ethylphenol; HL² = 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-p-methoxyphenol and HL³ = 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-p-nitrophenol are described together with their Cu(II) complexes with different bridging units. The exogenous bridges incorporated into the complexes are: hydroxo [Cu₂L(OH)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂.H₂O (L¹=1a, L² =1b, L³ =1c), acetato [Cu₂L(OAc)₂]ClO₄.H₂O (L¹ =2a, L² =2b, L³ =2c) and nitrito [Cu₂L¹(NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]ClO₄.H₂O (L¹=3a, L² =3b, L³ =3c). Complexes1a,1b,1c and2a,2b,2c contain bridging exogenous groups, while3a,3b,3c possess only open μ-phenolate structures. Both the ligands and complexes were characterized by spectral studies. Cyclic voltammetric investigation of these complexes revealed that the reaction process involves two successive quasireversible one-electron steps at different potentials. The first reduction potential is sensitive to electronic effects of the substituents at the aromatic ring of the ligand system, shifting to positive potentials when the substituents are replaced by more electrophilic groups. EPR studies indicate very weak interaction between the two copper atoms. Various covalency parameters have been calculated.

Exogenous bridging and nonbridging in Cu(II) complexes of Mannich base ligands: Synthesis and physical properties

Preparation of pentadentate ligands L¹, L², L³ and L⁴, where L¹ = 4-chloro-3-methyl-2[(prolin-1-yl)methyl]-6-[N-phenyl piperazin-1-yl)methyl]phenol, L² = 4-ethyl-2-[(prolin-1-yl)methyl]-6-[(N-phenyl piperazin-1-yl)methyl]phenol, L³ = 4-chloro-3-methyl-2-[(prolin-1-yl)methyl]-6-[N-methyl piperazin-1-yl]methyl phenol, L⁴ = 4-methoxy-2-[(prolin-1-yl)methyl]-6-[(N-phenyl piperazin-1-yl)methyl]phenol is described together with that of the corresponding Cu(II) complexes with various bridging motifs like OH, OAc and NO₂. The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, electrochemical and electron paramagnetic spectral studies. Redox properties of the complexes in acetonitrile are highly quasireversible due to the chemical or/and stereochemical changes subsequent to electron transfer. The complexes show resolved copper hyperfine EPR at room temperature, indicating the presence of weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the copper atoms. Strengths of the antiferromagnetic interactions are in the order NO₂>OAc>OH.

Combining Theory and Experiment to Characterize the Voltammetric Behavior of Nickel Anodes in the Simons Process

The Simons process, otherwise known as the electrochemical fluorination (ECF) method, is widely used in industry to electrolytically synthesize chemicals for various purposes. Even to this day, the exact mechanism of the ECF reaction remains unknown, but is believed to involve the formation of an anodic nickel fluoride film with highly oxidized nickel centers. In this study, experiments and density functional theory calculations are combined to characterize the initial anodic peak occurring at potentials typically required in an ECF cell. NiF₂ is believed to form a passivating layer at low potentials. The calculations show that a potential of +3.1 V is required to oxidize surface Ni²⁺ centers to Ni³⁺. This is in good agreement with the measured anodic peak at +3.57 V.

氯化六咪唑合铁四水分子的结构表征和电化学性能研究(英)

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(Im)₆]Cl₂·4H₂O, (Im=imidazole) was determined by X-ray analysis. The crystal structure consists of Fe(Im)₆²⁺ cation, two Cl^- anions and four non-coordinated water molecules. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1, with lattice parameters a=0.879 7(2) nm, b=0.906 8(2) nm, c=1.058 1(2) nm, α=75.35(3)°, β=83.20(3)°, γ=61.85(3)°, and Z=1; The Fe(Ⅱ) ion assumes centrosymmetric octahedron geometry with the FeN₆ core. Six imidazole molecules are coordinated to each iron(Ⅱ) ion through its tertiary nitrogen atom. The bond distances of Fe-N are in range of 0.212 8(1) nm to 0.220 4(1) nm. In the solid state, [Fe(Im)₆]²⁺, H₂O molecules and chlorine anions form three dimensional hydrogen bonds network which stabilized the crystal structure. Elemental analysis and electronic spectrum are in agreement with the structural data. The thermal gravity (TG) data indicate that thermal decomposition of the title compound takes place in five steps. In these cases, the residue may be Fe. From the cyclic voltammogram measurement in EtOH/H₂O, we know that electrode reaction was a quasi-reversible process. CCDC: 215335.     

Photophysics of Anionic Bis(4H-imidazolato)CuI Complexes

In this paper, the photophysical behavior of four panchromatically absorbing, homoleptic bis(4H-imidazolato)Cu^I complexes, with a systematic variation in the electron-withdrawing properties of the imidazolate ligand, were studied by wavelength-dependent time-resolved femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Excitation at 400, 480, and 630 nm populates metal-to-ligand charge transfer, intraligand charge transfer, and mixed-character singlet states. The pump wavelength-dependent transient absorption data were analyzed by a recently established 2D correlation approach. Data analysis revealed that all excitation conditions yield similar excited-state dynamics. Key to the excited-state relaxation is fast, sub-picosecond pseudo-Jahn-Teller distortion, which is accompanied by the relocalization of electron density onto a single ligand from the initially delocalized state at Franck-Condon geometry. Subsequent intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold is followed by a sub-100 ps decay to the ground state. The fast, nonradiative decay is rationalized by the low triplet-state energy as found by DFT calculations, which suggest perspective treatment at the strong coupling limit of the energy gap law.

New Schiff Bases Containing Silicon and Their Co(II) and Cu(II) Complexes: Synthesis,Complexation, Characterization,and Antimicrobial and Electrochemical Properties

Two novel Schiff base ligands, 4-((3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylimino)methyl)benzene– 1,2,3-triol (L¹H) and 4-((3-(triethoxysilyl)propylimino)methyl)benzene–1,2,3-triol (L²H), have been synthesized by the reaction of 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzaldehyde with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, respectively. The mononuclear Co^II and Cu^II complexes of these Schiff bases were prepared. The complexes of the Schiff bases are formed by coordination of N, O atoms of the ligands. The proposed structures were confirmed by elemental analyses, FT-IR, and UV-visible spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, and conductance measurements; the ¹H NMR spectra of the ligands were also recorded. The analytical data show that the metal to ligand ratio in the complexes containing silicon is 1:2. The electrochemical properties of the complexes have been investigated at 100 mVs^?1 scan rate in DMSO. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of L¹H and L²H Schiff ligands, and their [M(L¹)2] and [M(L²)2] type coordination compounds, were investigated.     

Theoretical Study of Electron Density Delocalization in the Excited States of Transition Metal Complexes

This paper presents a theoretical study of electron density delocalization effects over an electron-accepting ligand in metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) complexes in the excited states, where the ligand is 4,4'-X₂-2,2'-bpy (X = H, NH₂, CH₃, Ph, Cl, CO₂Et, NO₂, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) or terpy (2,2':6',2'-terpyridine). Optimal geometry calculations are performed for neutral ligand molecules and their radical anions modeling the state of the ligands during MLCT excitations. Spin density distribution over atoms in the radical anions is used as a measure of the degree of delocalization. The role of spin density distribution in excitation-induced changes of geometrical parameters of the ligands is considered.     

Preparation and characterization of 3-(4,5-ethylenedithio-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)naphthopyranone: a luminescent redox-active donor-acceptor compound

UV-vis spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetry results, interpreted on the basis of density functional theory, show that 2 displays an intramolecular charge-transfer transition and acts like a donor-acceptor (D-A) system. Furthermore, a weak fluorescence originating from the excited charge-transfer state is observed.

The complexes manifest the properties of reversible or quasireversible redox systems, whose formal redox potentials lie in the 0.2—0.5 V range. The complexes are efficient electron transfer mediators between the active center of glucose oxidase (GO) from Aspergillus niger and an electrode.
