Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization,thermal, and photostability studies of 2-(2′-hydroxy-5′-phenyl)-5-aminobenzotriazole complexes

Three Mn(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) new transition metal complexes of the fluorescence dye: 2-(2′-hydroxy-5′-phenyl)-5-aminobenzotriazole/PBT derived from o-aminophenol and m-phenylenediamine have been synthesized. The structural interpretations were confirmed from elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility and molar conductivity, as well as from mass, IR, UV–Vis spectral studies. From the analytical, spectroscopic, and thermal data, the stoichiometry of the mentioned complexes was found to be 1:2 (metal:ligand). The molar conductance data revealed that all the metal chelates are non-electrolytes and the chloride ions exist inside the coordination sphere. The thermal stabilities of these complexes were studied by thermogravimetric (TG/DTG) and the decomposition steps of these three complexes are investigated. The kinetic parameters such as the energy of activation (E*), pre-exponential factor (A), activation entropy (ΔS*), activation enthalpy (ΔH*), and free energy of activation (ΔG*) have been reported. Photostability of phenyl benzotriazole as fluorescence dye and their metal complexes doped in polymethyl methacrylate/PMMA were exposed to UV–Vis radiation and the change in the absorption spectra was achieved at different times during irradiation period.     

Synthesis, spectral and thermal studies of new copper (II) complexes with 1,2-di(imino-2-aminomethylpyridil)ethane

New copper (II) complexes of Schiff bases with 1,2-di(imino-2-aminomethylpyridil)ethane with the general composition CuLX _m (H₂O) _x , [L = Schiff base, X = Cl^?, Br^?, NO₃ ^?, ClO₄ ^?, CH₃COO^?, m = 2; X = SO₄ ^2?, m = 1] were prepared by template synthesis. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, magnetic moments, IR, UV–VIS and EPR spectra. The thermal behavior of complexes was studied using thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Infrared spectra of all complexes are in good agreement with the coordination of a neutral tetradentate N₄ ligand to the cooper (II) through azomethinic and pyridinic nitrogen. Magnetic, EPR and electronic spectral studies show a monomeric distorted octahedral geometry for all Cu(II) complexes. Conductance measurements suggest the non-electrolytic nature of the compounds, except for copper (II) nitrate and perchlorate complexes which are 1:2 electrolytes. Heats of decomposition, ΔH, associated with the exothermal effects were also determined.     

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.     

Novel complexes of Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ with N-(phosphonomethyl)aminosuccinic acid

Complexes of Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cu²⁺ with N-(phosphonomethyl)aminosuccinic acid (H₄PMAS) of general formula Na₂MPMAS·nH₂O [M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), n—number of water molecules] were synthesized. Based on interpretation of diffusion reflectance spectroscopy, structure of all complexes is based on distorted octahedral. Analysis of IR spectra of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) N-(phosphonomethyl)aminosuccinates demonstrated that metal ions are coordinated to the ligand through nitrogen atom of the imino group, oxygen atoms of the α- and β-carboxyl groups as well as oxygen atom of the phosphonic group of the H₄PMAS. We demonstrated that thermal stability of complexes increases in sequence Cu(II) < Ni(II) < Co(II), obviously as a result of change over from the dimeric to polymeric character of the initial complex. Complete decomposition of ligand occurs at these temperatures and is accompanied by release of H₂O, CO₂, and NO₂. The final products of thermal decomposition of the complexes are mixtures of oxides and phosphates of respective metals.

New complexes of type [M(HL)(CH₃COO)(OH₂)_m]·nH₂O (where M:Co, m = 2, n = 2; M:Ni, m = 2, n = 1.5; M:Zn, m = 0, n = 2.5 and M:Cd, m = 0, n = 0; H₂L:5-bromo-N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-o-tolidine) have been synthesized and characterized by microanalytical, IR, UV–Vis-NIR and magnetic data. Electronic spectra of Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes are characteristic for an octahedral stereochemistry. The IR spectra indicate a chelate coordination mode for mono-deprotonated Schiff base and a bidentate one for acetate ion. The thermal transformations are complex according to TG and DTA curves including dehydration, acetate decomposition and oxidative degradation of the Schiff base. The final product of decomposition is the most stable metallic oxide.

Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) chloro complexes of benzilic hydrazide (BH) have been synthesized. Also, reaction of the ligand (BH) with several copper(II) salts, including NO₃ ^?, AcO^?, and SO₄ ^? afforded metal complexes of the general formula [CuLX(H₂O) _n ]·nH₂O, where X is the anion and n = 0, 1 or 2. The newly synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectra, molar conductance, UV–vis, IR spectra, magnetic moment, and thermal analysis (TG/DTG). The physico-chemical studies support that the ligand acts as monobasic bidentate towards metal ion through the carbonyl and hydroxyl oxygen atoms. The spectral data revealed that the geometrical structure of the complexes is square planar for Cu (II) complexes and tetrahedral for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes. Structural parameters of the ligand and its complexes have been calculated. The ligand and its metal complexes are screened for their antimicrobial activity. The catalytic activities of the metal chelates have been studied towards the oxidative decolorization of AB25, IC and AB92 dyes using H₂O₂. The catalytic activity is strongly dependent on the type of the metal ion and the anion of Cu(II) complexes.

The thermal properties of the Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes of iminodiacetic acid (H₂IMDA) were determined using TG, DTG and DSC techniques. The complexes, of general formula, MIMDA-2H₂O evolved water of hydration from 50 to 150°C which was followed by the decomposition of the anhydrous complex in the 250 to 400°C temperature range. The thermal stability, as determined by procedural decomposition temperatures, was: Ni(II) >Co(II) >Cu(II). The thermal stability is discussed in terms of IR spectra, ΔH, and ΔS, as well as thermal data.

Lead(II) complexes of reduced glutathione (GSH) of general composition [Pb(L)(X)]·H₂O (where L=GSH; X=Cl, NO₃, CH₃COO, NCS) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectra and electronic spectra. Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analytical (DTA) studies have been carried out for these complexes. Infrared spectra indicate deprotonation and coordination of cysteinyl sulphur with metal ion. It indicates the presence of water molecule in the complexes that has been supported by TG/DTA. The thermal behaviour of complexes shows that water molecule is removed in first step-followed removal of anions and then decomposition of the ligand molecule in the subsequent steps. Thermal decomposition of all the complexes proceeds via first order kinetics. The thermodynamic activation parameters, such as E*, A, ΔH*, ΔS* and ΔG* have been calculated. The geometry of the metal complexes has been studied with the help of molecular modeling for energy minimization calculation.

Based on the IR spectra a dinuclear structure with the 1,3-CSN coordination was proposed for Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes. The dinuclear structure of Cu(II) complex is also consistent with both magnetic behaviour and EPR spectrum. According to TG, DTG and DTA curves the thermal transformations are complex processes, including dehydration, Mannich base oxidative degradation and thiocyanate decomposition. The final product of decomposition is the most stable metallic oxide, as XRD data indicates. The new complexes were also screened for their microbicidal and antibiofilm properties.

Novel Schiff base (H₂L) ligand is prepared via condensation of benzil and triethylenetetraamine. The ligand is characterized based on elemental analysis, mass, IR and ¹H NMR spectra. Metal complexes are reported and characterized based on elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, and thermal analyses (TG, DTG and DTA). 1:1 [M]:[H₂L] complexes are found from the elemental analyses data having the formulae [M(H₂L)Cl₂]·yH₂O (M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II)), [Fe(H₂L)Cl₂]Cl·H₂O, [Th(H₂L)Cl₂]Cl₂·3H₂O and [UO₂(H₂L)](CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O. The metal chelates are found to be non-electrolytes except Fe(III), Th(IV) and UO₂(II) complexes are electrolytes. IR spectra show that H₂L is coordinated to the metal ions in a neutral tetradentate manner with 4Ns donor sites of the two azomethine N and two NH groups. The geometrical structures of these complexes are found to be octahedral. The thermal behaviour of these chelates is studied where the hydrated complexes lose water molecules of hydration in the first step followed immediately by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in the subsequent steps. The activation thermodynamic parameters are calculated using Coats–Redfern method. The ligand (H₂L), in comparison to its metal complexes, is screened for its antibacterial activity.

From the analytical, spectroscopic, and thermal data, the stoichiometry of the mentioned complexes was found to be 1:1:1 (coumarin ligand:copper metal:1,10-Phenanthroline). The thermal stabilities of these complexes were studied by thermogravimetric (TG/DTG) and the decomposition steps of these four complexes are investigated. Kinetic parameters such as order of reaction (n) and the energy of activation (E _a) were calculated using Freeman–Carroll method. The pre-exponential factor (A), the activation entropy (S*), the activation enthalpy (H*), and the free energy of activation (G*) were calculated using Horowitz–Matzger equations. Based on the E _a values, the thermal stabilities of complexes in the decreasing order are Cu(II)-2 > Cu(II)-3 > Cu(II)-4 > Cu(II)-1.     

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, spectroscopic, thermal characterization, and antimicrobial activity of miconazole drug and its metal complexes

Metal complexes having the general composition [MCl₂(H₂O)₂(L)₂]·yH₂O (where y?=?1?C3, M?=?Mn(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) and L?=?miconazole drug?=?MCNZ) and [MCl₂(H₂O)₂(L)₂]Cl·3H₂O (where M?=?Cr(III) and Fe(III)) have been synthesized. All the synthesized complexes were identified and confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, diffused reflectance, and thermal analyses (TG and DTA) techniques as well as molar conductivity and magnetic moment measurements. The molar conductance data reveals that bivalent metal complexes are non-electrolytes while Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes are electrolytes and of 1:1 type. IR spectral studies reveal that MCNZ is coordinated to the metal ions in a neutral unidentate manner with N donor site of the imidazole-N. On the basis of magnetic and solid reflectance spectral studies, an octahedral geometry has been assigned for the complexes. Detailed studies of the thermal properties of the complexes were investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analyses (DTA) techniques and the activation thermodynamic parameters are calculated using Coats?CRedfern method. The free MCNZ drug and its complexes were also evaluated against bacterial species (P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. Coli) and fungi (A. fumigatus, P. italicum, and C. albicans) in vitro. The activity data show that the metal complexes have higher biological activity than the parent MCNZ drug.     

Synthesis,characterization, and thermal study of solid-state alkaline earth metal mandelates,except beryllium and radium

Characterization, thermal stability, and thermal decomposition of alkaline earth metal mandelates, M(C₆H₅CH(OH)CO₂)₂, (M = Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), and Ba(II)), were investigated employing simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis or differential scanning calorimetry, (TG–DTA or TG–DSC), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), complexometry, and TG–DSC coupled to FTIR. All the compounds were obtained in the anhydrous state and the thermal decomposition occurs in three steps. The final residue up to 585 °C (Mg), 720 °C (Ca), and 945 °C (Sr) is the respective oxide MgO, CaO, and SrO. For the barium compound the final residue up to 580 °C is BaCO₃, which is stable until 950 °C and above this temperature the TG curve shows the beginning of the thermal decomposition of the barium carbonate. The results also provide information concerning the thermal behavior and identification of gaseous products evolved during the thermal decomposition of these compounds.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic, and thermal studies of some Hg(II) and Cd(II) coordination compounds of N,N-bis[(E)-3-(phenylprop)-2-enylidene]propanediamine

Some new coordination compounds of cadmium(II) and mercury(II) with N,N-bis[(E)-3-(phenylprop)-2-enylidene]propanediamine (L) as a new bidentate Schiff base ligand with general formula MLX₂ (X = Cl^?, Br^?, I^?, SCN^?, and N₃ ^?) have been prepared. They were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-infrared (FT-IR) and Ultraviolet–Visible spectra, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectra. The reasonable shifts of FT-IR and NMR spectral signals of the complexes with respect to the free ligand confirm well coordination of ligand and anions(X-) in inner sphere coordination mode. The thermal behavior of the complexes from room temperature to 800 °C shows weight loss by decomposition of the anions and ligand segments in the subsequent steps. The results showed that cadmium complexes have no water molecules (neither as lattice nor as coordinated water) and are decomposed in two temperature steps except about cadmium thiocyanate complex that is decomposed in three steps. Final residual contents of cadmium complexes are suggested to be cadmium oxide or sulfide. Mercury complexes were decomposed in three to four temperature steps. Mercury bromide and azide complexes leave out a little amount of mercury oxide in final, while mercury chloride, iodide, and thiocyanate complexes were found to be completely decomposed without any residual matter.

The ligand was also isolated and characterized. The complexes features have been assigned from microanalytical, electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, IR, UV–vis, ¹H NMR, and EPR spectra as well as magnetic data at room temperature. Simultaneous thermogravimetric/dynamic scanning calorimetry/evolved gas analysis measurements were performed to evidence the nature of the gaseous products formed in each step. Processes as water elimination, fragmentation, and oxidative degradation of the organic ligand as well as chloride elimination were observed during the thermal decomposition. The final product of decomposition was metal(II) oxide except for copper complex where CuCl remained also in the oxide network. The complexes exhibited an improved antibacterial activity in comparison with the ligand concerning both planktonic as well as biofilm-embedded cells.

IR spectra show that H₂APHNH is a bidentate, tridentate and/or tetradentate ligand. Thermal decomposition of some complexes ended with metal oxide as a final product. ESR spectra gave evidence for the proposed structure and the bonding for some Cu(II) complexes. Biological activity measurements were carried out.
