Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 5. The4 N-cyclohexyl derivative

Summary Metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone,⁴ N-cyclohexyl-2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide (HL4CH), have been prepared and spectrally characterised. Both the size of the cyclohexyl-group attached at⁴N as well as the⁴N hydrogen affect the stoichiometry and stereochemistry of the isolated complexes. The large cyclohexyl-group evidently causes the isolation of [Fe(HL4CH) (L4CH)H₂O](ClO₄) instead of the expected [Fe(L4CH)₂]ClO₄[Co(L4CH)Br] instead of [Co(HL4CH)Br₂], and [Ni(L4CH)Br] instead of [Ni(HL4CH)₂Br₂]. The presence of the hydrogen at⁴N presumably hinders the deprotonation of HL4CH on complex formation since [Cu(HL4CH)Cl₂] was isolated rather than [CuLCl], which occurs when the thiosemicarbazone has⁴N with two alkyl groups or incorporated in a ring. Further, although we prepared [Ni(L4CH)Br], complexes of this stoichiometry are planar and diamagnetle when⁴N does not have a hydrogen(s) attached to it rather than tetrahedral and paramagnetic as has been found for the present complex.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 1. The4N-methyl derivative

Summary A series of metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone,N-methyl-2[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]-hydrazinecarbothioamide (HL4M) has been prepared and spectrally characterized. HL4M coordinates either as a neutral bidentate ligand (i.e., pyridyl N and imine N) or as deprotonated tridentate ligand (i.e., pyridyl N, imine N and thiol sulphur). The cobalt(II) salts yield hexacoordinated cobalt(III) cations, and an isoelectronic species, [Ni(L4M)₂], has been formed from Ni(C₂H₃O₂)₂. The remaining nickel(II) complexes involve the neutral ligand, as do two of the three copper(II) complexes. HL4M possesses a weaker ligand field and has less covalency in its bonding than related thiosemicarbazones that possess anN-dialkyl-function.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 4. The 3-piperidinyl derivative

Summary Metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-piperidinyl-3-thiocarboxylic acid-2-[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene]hydrazide (HLpip) have been prepared and spectrally characterized. HLpip coordinates both as the deprotonated ligand (i.e., pyridylN, azomethineN, and thione sulphur) and the neutral ligand (i.e., pyridylN and azomethineN) with the sulphur possibly weakly coordinating in [Ni(HLpip)₂](BF₄)₂. All three preparative cobalt(II) salts yielded cobalt(III) cationic complexes. The nickel(II) and copper(II) chloride salts gave [M(Lpip)Cl] solids while complexes involving the neutral ligand were prepared with the corresponding bromide salts. Significant differences in the spectral properties of the various complexes are observed when compared to other thiosemicarbazones prepared from 2-acetylpyridine.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide. II. The4 N-dimethyl derivative

Summary Metal ion complexes of 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide⁴ N-dimethylthiosemicarbazone (HLO4DM), have been prepared and spectroscopically characterised. The presence of two alkyl groups at⁴ N facilitates loss of the hydrogen from² N since HLO4DM is found as the anionic ligand in the majority of its complexes. The anionic LO4DM bonds to the metal ions via theN-oxide oxygen, the azomethine nitrogen, and the thiol sulphur atoms. The infrared, electronic, and electron spin resonance spectra of these complexes are compared to 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide⁴ N-methylthiosemicarbazone as well as 2-acetylpyridine⁴ N-dimethylthiosemicarbazone.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 3. The 3-hexamethyleneimine derivative

Summary Metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-hexamethyleneimine-3-thiocarboxylic acid-2-[1-(2-pyridyl)-ethylidene]hydrazide (HLhexim) have been prepared and spectrally characterized. HLhexim coordinates primarily as the deprotonated tridentate ligand (i.e., pyridylN, azomethineN, and thione sulphur). The air oxidised cobalt(III) complex, [Co(LHexim)₂] (BF₄), was isolated from the preparation with cobalt(II) tetrafluoroborate, but other cobalt(II) salts yielded tetrahedral cobalt(II) compounds. Planar nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes were isolated from preparations with halide salts. Significant differences in the spectral properties of the various complexes are observed when compared to other thiosemicarbazones prepared from 2-acetylpyridine.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 7. Chemical and antifungal properties of 2-acetylpyridine4 N-ethylthiosemicarbazone and its metal complexes

Summary Spectral and thermal information, as well as activity againstAspergillus niger, have been obtained for 2-acetylpyridine⁴ N-ethylthiosemicarbazone and its iron(III), cobalt(II,III), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide. I. The 4-methyl derivative

Summary TheN-methyl-2-[1-(2-pyridinyl-1-oxide)ethylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide, HLO4M, has been used to prepare a series of Co^III, Ni^II and Cu^II complexes. Species with two deprotonated LO4M ligands, one LO4M and one HLO4M ligand, two HLO4M ligands and one HLO4M ligand with two small anionic ligands have been isolated. The deprotonated LO4M bonds as a tridentate ligandvia theN-oxide oxygen, the imine nitrogen (N¹ and the sulphur while the HLO4M ligand coordinates primarily as a bidentate ligandvia only the first two atoms listed above. I.r., electronic, mass and e.s.r. spectra have been used to determine the nature of these complexes. One of the more striking differences between these compounds and those prepared with other thiosemicarbazones of 2-acetylpyridine and 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide is that tetrahedral yellow [Ni(HL)X₂] rather than planar brown [NiLX] (X=Cl or Br) solids have been isolated with this ligand. Other differences in the nature of the coordination spheres of the various metal ions occur with this particular ligand when compared to previously studied thiosemicarbazone complexes.NATO Fellow, on leave from Medical Faculty, Istanbul University.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 8. The chemical and antifungal properties of the nickel(II) complexes of 2-acetylpyridine4 N-diethyl- and4 N-dipropylthiosemicarbazones

Summary Nickel(II) complexes of 2-acetylpyridine⁴ N-diethyl- and⁴ N-dipropylthiosemicarbazone show less activity againstAspercallus niger than the free thiosemicarbazones. However, againstPaecilomyces variotii the nickel(II) complexes possess comparable activity at high concentrations and are more active at lower concentrations. Spectral and thermal information about the nickel(II) complexes, which coordinate the anionic thiosemicarbazone ligands in a tridentate manner, is included.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 6. The chemical and antifungal properties of 2-acetylpyridine4 N-diethyl- and4 N-dipropylthiosemicarbazones and their copper(II) complexes

Summary Complexes of stoichiometry [CuLX] where X=Cl, Br and L=2-acetylpyridine⁴ N-diethyl- and⁴ N-dipropylthiosemicarbazone, HL4DE and HL4DP, respectively, have substantially more activity againstAspergillus niger andPaecilomyces variotii than the uncomplexed thiosemicarbazones. Spectral data (i.e., i.r., u.v.vis., and e.s.r) of the complexes are presented along with thermodynamic data for the thiosemicarbazones.     

Transition metal ion complexes of a thiosemicarbazone derived from 6-methyl-2-acetylpyridine

Summary A series of metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane-3-thiocarboxylic acid 2-[1-(6-methyl-2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazide (6 MLH) have been prepared and spectrally characterized. The ligand undergoes deprotonation to coordinatevia the thione sulphur, the imine nitrogen and the pyridyl nitrogen. A single anionic ligand such as Cl^–, Br^– and NO₃ ^– completes the bonding to the Cu^II and Ni^II centre. The compound derived from CoCl₂ contains two 6 MLH ligands bound to a Co^II centre and a CoCl ₄ ^2– counter ion. Complexes derived from perchlorate salts may feature 6 MLH, 6 ML, or both with the Co^II being oxidized to Co^III. The solids were characterized by i.r., electronic and e.s.r. spectroscopy. In addition, electronic and e.s.r. spectra of their chloroform solutions were recorded.NATO Fellow, on leave from Istanbul Medical Faculty, Istanbul University.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 9. The chemical and antifungal properties of the iron(III) and cobalt(II,III) complexes of 2-acetylpyridine4 N-diethyl-and4 N-diopropylthiosemicarbazones

Summary ⁴ N-diethyl- and⁴ N-dipropylthiosemicarbazones of 2-acetylpyridine coordinate to Fe^III, Co^III and Co^II centres as tridentate NNS ligands. Spectral and physical data indicates that the size of the⁴ N-substituents can influence the stereochemistry and stoichiometry of the complexes, which show minimal ability to inhibit fungal growth and are considerably less active than the related copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes.     

Transition metal ion complexes of theS-methyldithiocarbazate prepared from 2-acetylpyridine

Summary Metal ion complexes of 2-acetylpyridineS-methyldithiocarbazate, HNNS, have been prepared and spectrally characterised. Preparations in EtOH yield complexes in which the deprotonated ligand, NNS, is complexedvia its pyridyl nitrogen, azomethine nitrogen, and thione sulphur. The stoichiometries are: [M(NNS)₂]X (M=Fe³⁺, Co³⁺ and X=ClO ₄ ^– , [FeCl₄]^–, BF ₄ ^– , 1/2 [CoCl₄]^2– and 1/2 [CoBr₄]^2–), [M(NNS)X] (M=Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and X=Cl^–, Br^–), [Cu(NNS)H₂O]BF₄ and Ni(HNNS)(NNS)F(EtOH)]BF₄. The spectral (i.e., i.r., u.v.-vis.-n.i.r. and e.s.r.) and physical properties of these complexes are compared to those of theS-methyldithiocarbazates of 2-formylpyridine and 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide, as well as the related thiosemicarbazones prepared from 2-acetylpyridine. Thermal studies of the nickel(II) complexes indicate that the nature of thermal decomposition of coordinated NNS is different from that of HNNS.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide. Part III. Spectral and thermal studies of the metal complexes of 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide thiosemicarbazone

Summary Metal complexes of 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide thiosemicarbazone have been prepared and characterized. Coordination occurs as a neutral bidentate (ON) and a deprotonated tridentate (ONS) ligand.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide. Part IV. Iron(III) and copper(II) complexes of the4 N-ethyl- and4 N-diethylthiosemicarbazones

Summary Copper(II) and iron(III) complexes of 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide⁴ N-ethyl- and⁴ N-diethylthiosemicarbazones have been prepared and characterized by physical and spectral methods. The⁴ N-ethyl-derivative coordinates as a neutral, bidentate ligand with copper(II), and the⁴ N-diethyl- as an anionic, tridentate ligand with both copper(II) and iron(III). The former ligand forms a mixed ligand complex (i.e., one neutral and one anionic ligand) with iron(III).     

Iron(III) complexes of some thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine,its 6-methyl derivative and itsN-oxide

Summary A series of iron(III) complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine, 6-methyl-2-acetylpyridine and 2-acetylpyridineN-oxide have been prepared from Fe(ClO₄)₃ and FeCl₃. All of the isolated solids have cations involving two monobasic tridentate ligands, and either perchlorate or tetrachloroferrate(III) anions and are 11 electrolytes. Coordinationvia the pyridine nitrogen (or theN-oxide oxygen), the imine nitrogen and the sulphur atom are confirmed by infrared spectra and x-ray diffraction. The presence of two different iron(III) species is indicated by the electron spin resonance spectra of the tetrachloroferrate(III) solids. E.s.r. along with electronic spectra prove the spin-paired configuration of these cationic iron(III) complexes.NATO Fellow, on leave from Istanbul Medical Faculty, Istanbul University.     

Spectroscopic characterization of some metal complexes derived from 4-acetylpyridine nicotinoylhydrazone

Coordination compounds of Mn^II, Cu^II, Fe^III and Zn^II ions with 4-acetylpyridine nicotinoylhydrazone (4-APNH) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity, magnetic moments, i.r., u.v./vis., m.s., ¹H-n.m.r. and thermal analyses. I.r. spectra show that the ligand can act either in the enol form as monovalent bidentate or in the keto form as neutral bidentate depending on the metal salt used. Octahedral structures are proposed for Fe complex and square – planar for the Cu complex, while tetrahedral structures were suggested for Zn and Mn complexes on the basis of magnetic and spectral evidences. Semi-empirical calculations ZINDO/1 have been used to study the molecular geometry and the harmonic vibrational spectra with the purpose to assist the experimental assignment of the complexes.

Copper(II) complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine and its n-oxide

A series of Cu(II) complexes of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]-nonene-3-thiocarboxylic acid 2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazide(HL) and the corresponding N-oxide (HLO) have been prepared and characterized. Both ligands undergo deprotonation and appear to coordinate via the thione sulfur, the imine nitrogen and the pyridyl nitrogen (or N-oxide oxygen). A single anionic ligand such as Cl^?, Br^?, NCS^? and N^?₃ completes the bonding to the Cu(II) center of these 4-coordinate complexes. When the complexes are prepared using Cu(II) perchlorate, the solids isolated contain a neutral thiosemicarbazone ligand as well as the deprotonated ligand. The solids are primarily characterized by IR, electronic and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. In addition, electronic and ESR spectra of their chloroform solutions were recorded. Most of the solids (except the nitrates) were unaltered upon dissolution. Simulation of the solution ESR spectra was used to estimate the coupling constants of the various coordinated nuclei.     

Stereochemistry and antitumour activity of platinum metal complexes of 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazones

Complexes, [M(HL)2], where M = PdII, PtII and HL = neutral 2-acetylpyridine-(2-methylthiosemicarbazone), 2-acetylpyridine-(4-methylthiosemicarbazone) and 2-acetylpyridine-(4-phenylthiosemicarbazone), as well as [M(HL)2]Cl3, where M = RuIII, RhIII and IrIII, have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectroscopic (i.r., Raman, u.v.-vis. and 1H and 13C-n.m.r) studies. The ligands behave as neutral bidentate components in the PdII and PtII complexes, whereas in RuIII, RhIII and IrIII complexes the ligands exist as neutral tridentates. Various ligand and nephelauxetic parameters have been calculated for the metal complexes. The RuIII, RhIII and IrIII complexes are six-coordinate distorted octahedral, whereas PdII and PtII are four coordinated. The ligands and their platinum group complexes exhibit a potent cytotoxic activity against Ehrlich ascites tumour cells in vitro but appear to be more in vivo.

The results are concordant with a bidentate coordination of the—CS₂ group to the metal ions.
