Synthesis, characterization and computational studies of zinc(II)-halide complexes with a bidentate schiff base ligand (2,5-MeO-ba)2En: The crystal structure of (2,5-MeO-ba)2En

In this study four coordinated complexes of zinc(II) halides with a new symmetrical bidentate Schiff base ligand (2,5-MeO-ba)₂En are synthesized and characterized. The metal to ligand ratio of the complexes is found to be 1:1 with the formula of Zn((2,5-MeO-ba)₂En)X₂ (X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3)). The crystal structure of the Schiff base ligand (2,5-MeO-ba)₂En is determined by X-ray crystallography from single crystal data. Also, the optimized geometries of the Schiff base ligand (2,5-MeO-ba)₂En and its zinc(II) complexes are calculated using the density functional theory method (B3LYP/6-31G). The obtained structural parameters of (2,5-MeO-ba)₂En are in agreement with the experimental data.     

Manganese(III) complexes with tetradentate (N2O2) Schiff bases and dicyanamide

New Mn(III) complexes with Schiff bases and dicyanamide are synthesized: [Mn(Salpn)N(CN)₂] _n (two polymorphous modifications, Ia and Ib), {[Mn(5-BrSalen)N(CN)₂] · CH₃OH} _n (II), and [Mn(3-MeOSalen)N(CN)₂(H₂O)] (III), where SalpnH₂ = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane, 5-BrSalenH₂ = N,N′-bis(5-bromosalicylidene)-1,2-diaminoethane, and 3-MeOSalenH₂ = N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,2-diaminoethane. Complexes Ia, Ib, and II have the polymer structure in which the dicyanamide anion binds the paramagnetic Mn(III) complexes with the Schiff bases into one-dimensional chains. Unlike them, in complex III the monomer units containing water and the dicyanamide anion as terminal ligands form dimers due to hydrogen bonds. The study of the magnetic properties of complexes Ia and II shows a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the Mn³⁺ ions through the dicyanamide bridges in these complexes.     

Syntheses, characterization and crystal structures of new mono- and bis-Schiff base compounds derived from 1,2,4-triazine and the silver(I) complexes containing mono-Schiff base ligands

Some new Schiff bases, (Z)-4-amino-3-((E)-(R-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazono)-6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one (R?=?2 (L2), R?=?3 (L3) and R?=?4 (L4)), were synthesized by the condensation reactions of 4-amino-3-hydrazinyl-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (L1) and corresponding methoxybenzaldehyde in a molar ratio 1:1.5 in high yields. The reaction of L2 and L4 with an excess amount of the corresponding aldehydes gave the unsymmetrical bis-Schiff bases (E)-3-((E)-(R-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazono)-4-((E)-R-methoxybenzylideneamino)-6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one (R?=?2 (L22) and R?=?4 (L44)), respectively. Furthermore, the reaction of L2?CL4 with silver(I) nitrate in a molar ratio 2:1 led to the silver(I)-complexes with the general formula [Ag(Lx)₂]NO₃ (Lx?=?L2 (2), L3 (3) and L4 (4)). All synthesized Schiff base compounds and complexes were characterized by a combination of IR-, ¹H-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analyses. In addition, the structures of L2, L4·CH₃CN, L22·CH₃OH and L44·CH₃OH and complexes 2 and 4 were determined by X-ray diffraction studies.

Three mercury(II) complexes, [Hg((23-MeO-ba)₂en)X₂] (X = I (1), Br (2) and Cl(3)), and the ligand (23-MeO-ba)₂en ((23-MeO-ba)₂en = N,N′-bis(2,3-dimethoxybenzylidene)-1,2-diaminoethane) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structures of 1 and 2 were determined by X-ray crystallography from single-crystal data. The metal-to-ligand ratio was found to be 1:1. The mercury(II) center in 1 and 2 has a distorted tetrahedral geometry with HgN₂I₂ and HgN₂Br₂ chromophores, respectively. The Schiff base ligand (23-MeO-ba)₂en acts as a chelating ligand, coordinating via the two nitrogen atoms to the mercury(II) center, and it adopts an E,E conformation. The coordination sphere of the mercury(II) center in 1 and 2 is completed by the two I and Br atoms, respectively. In complex 1 an inter-molecular non-classical hydrogen bond of the type C-H?O was found, while in complex 2 inter- and intra-molecular non-classical hydrogen bonds of the type C-H?X (X = O and Br) were found. The ¹H NMR spectra of the complexes exhibit downfield as well as upfield shifts of the free ligand resonances, reflecting changes in the ligand’s geometry during its coordination.

The structure-activity relationship (SAR) between IC50 and some physico-chemical properties such as lipophilicity (logP), electronic and steric effects of the compounds was studied. The logP values were experimentally determined by the shake-flask (gas chromatography) method. Inhibitory potency for the compounds 1?C10 was 1 (3.38 mM) > 2 (3.97 mM) > 3 (4.75 mM) > 4 (6.00 mM) > 5 (5.51 mM) > 6 (0.07 mM) > 7 (0.23 mM) > 8 (0.39 mM) > and 9 (0.55 mM) > 10 (0.51 mM), respectively. IC₅₀ and logP parameters of the P=O moiety were more than the P=S moiety in PAT analogues.     

Synthesis, spectral characterization, and crystal structure of mononuclear mercury(II) complex [Hg((3,4-MeO-Bza)2En)I2]

Mercury(II) complex, [Hg((3,4-MeO-Bza)₂En)I₂] (I), where (3,4-MeO-Bza)₂En = N,N′-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde)ethylenediimine, has been synthesized from the reaction of HgI₂ with (3,4-MeO-Bza)₂En in methanol as solvent at 50°C. It was characterized by elemental analysis (CHN), ¹H-NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, with space group P2₁/c, having one symmetry-independent Hg²⁺ ion coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two I atoms. The Schiff base ligand (3,4-MeO-Bza)₂En acts as a chelating ligand and coordinates via two N atoms to the mercury center. It adopts an (E, E) conformation.     

Hydrothermal and sonochemical synthesis of a nano-sized nickel(II) Schiff base complex as a precursor for nano-sized nickel(II) oxide; spectroscopic, catalytic and antibacterial properties

The Ni(II) complexes [Ni(L)₂](ClO₄)₂ (1) and [Ni(L)₂(NO₃)₂] (2), where L is the Schiff base ligand of 4,5,9,13,14-pentaaza-benzo[b] triphenylene, were synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. Nano-sized particles of (1) were prepared both by sonochemistry (3) and solvothermal (4) methods. NiO nanoparticles were obtained by calcination of the nano-structure complexes at 500 °C. The structures of the nano-sized compounds were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The thermal stabilities of the bulk complexes (1–2) and nano-sized particles (3–4) were studied by thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry. The catalytic activities of complexes of (1–4) are reported. The free Schiff base and its Ni(II) complexes have been screened for antibacterial activities against three Gram-positive bacteria. The metal complexes are more active than the free Schiff base. Electrochemical studies show that the Ni complexes undergo irreversible reduction in MeCN solution.     

Synthetic aspects, crystal structures and antibacterial activities of manganese(III) and cobalt(III) complexes containing a tetradentate Schiff base

Three new Schiff base complexes, namely [Mn(L)Cl] · H₂O (1), [Co(L)Cl]₂ · 2CH₃COCH₃ (2) and [Co(L)NCS]₂ (3), where H₂L = 2,2′-[propane-1,2-diylbis(nitriloeth-1-yl-1-ylidene)]diphenol, have been prepared and characterized. The syntheses of 1 and 2 have been achieved by reacting equimolar amounts of the respective metal chloride and the tetradentate Schiff base ligand (H₂L). While the mononuclear Mn(III) complex 1 was obtained with MnCl₂ in acetone medium, the same synthetic system yielded the binuclear Co(III) complex 2 in the presence of CoCl₂. Dissolution of 1 and 2 followed by crystallization with ammonium thiocyanate in methanol yielded two isostructural phenoxo-bridged binuclear complexes, namely [Mn(L)NCS]₂ (previously reported by us) and a new complex [Co(L)NCS]₂ (3), respectively. All the complexes 1–3 have been characterized by microanalytical, spectroscopic, single crystal X-ray diffraction and other physicochemical studies. Structural studies reveal that 1 adopts a distorted tetragonal pyramidal geometry while 2 and 3 comprise dimeric Co(III) units with bridging phenolate oxygen atoms. All the complex units in 1–3 and the respective solvent molecules are held together by weak intermolecular H-bonding to constitute a supramolecular network in the solid state. The antibacterial activity of the complexes has been tested against some Gram(+) and Gram(?) bacteria.     

Five-, six- and eight-membered ring organosilicon chalcogenides of the types Z2(SiMe2)2E (Z = Me2Si, H2C; E = S, Se, Te), Z(SiMe2E)2MR2 (Z = Me2Si, H2C, O; E = S, Se, Te; M = Si, Ge, Sn, R = Me, Ph) and (SiMe2ZSiMe2E)2 (Z = Me2Si, H2C; E = S, Se)

Reactions of ClMe₂Si–Z–SiMe₂Cl (Z = SiMe₂ (1a), CH₂ (1c), O (1e)) with Li₂E (E = S, Se) yielded eight-membered ring compounds (SiMe₂ZSiMe₂E)₂ (3a–d) as well as acyclic oligomers (SiMe₂ZSiMe₂E)_x of different chain lengths. If 1:1 molar mixtures of 1a, 1c or 1e and a diorganodichlorosilane, -germane or -stannane (R₂MCl₂) are reacted with Li₂E (E = S, Se, Te), six-membered ring compounds Z(SiMe₂E)₂MR₂ (4a–7g) are formed exclusively. Five-membered rings Z₂(SiMe₂)₂E (Z = SiMe₂ (8a–c), CH₂ (9a–c); E = S, Se, Te) are obtained starting from the tetrasilane ClMe₂Si–(SiMe₂)₂–SiMe₂Cl (1b) or the disilylethane ClMe₂Si–(CH₂)₂–SiMe₂Cl (1d) by treatment with Li₂E. All products were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si, ¹¹⁹Sn, ⁷⁷Se, ¹²⁵Te, including coupling constants) and the effects of the different ring sizes towards NMR chemical shifts are discussed.     

Über die Synthese von 1,3-Dihydro-3-(2-dimethylaminoäthyl)-1-(3-thienyl)-benzimidazol-2-onen

The synthesis of 1-(3-thienyl)-benzimidazol-2-ones (3 a and4), described in an earlier paper¹, has been further investigated. The Na-salt of3 a is converted to a benzimidazolone substituted in position 3 (3 b). Dehydrogenation of the thiophene nucleus of3 a with chloranil yields5 a, which undergoes substitution in position 3 with Cl(CH₂)₂N(CH₃)₂ to give5 b. Monochlorination of5 a yields5 c, the structure of which is confirmed by¹H-NMR-spectroscopy.5 d is obtained by reaction of the Na-salt of5 c with Cl(CH₂)₂N(CH₃)₂.      

Synthesis and characterization of glycol-modified vanadium(V) oxoisopropoxide and their oximato derivatives: sol–gel transformations of [VO(OPr i )3], [VO{OCH2CH2OCH2CH2O}{OPr i }] and [VO{OCH2CH2OCH2CH2O}{ON=C(CH3)(C4H3S-2)}] to vanadia

Reaction of [VO(OPr ⁱ )₃] (1) with [O(CH₂CH₂OH)₂] in 1:1 molar ratio in anhydrous benzene yield glycol-modified precursor, [VO{OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂O}{OPr ⁱ }] (2). Further reactions of (2) with internally functionalized oximes in anhydrous benzene yield heteroleptic complexes of the type [VO{OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂O}{ON=C(R)(Ar)}] (3–8) {where R=CH₃, Ar=C₄H₃O-2 (3), C₄H₃S-2 (4), C₅H₄N-2 (5); and when R=H, Ar=C₄H₃O-2 (6), C₄H₃S-2 (7), C₅H₄N-2 (8)}. All these derivatives have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight measurements and spectroscopic techniques. The crysoscopic molecular weight measurement as well as FAB mass study suggests dimeric nature of (2). However, FAB mass spectrum of (4), and the crysoscopic molecular weight measurements of (3), (4), (5) and (6) indicate the monomeric behavior of the oximato derivatives (3–8). Hexa-coordination around vanadium(V) has been proposed for both monomeric and dimeric derivatives. Sol–gel transformations of (1), (2) or (4) to vanadia [(a), (b) or (c), respectively] have been carried out at low sintering temperature (600 °C). The XRD patterns of (a), (b) or (c) indicate formation of a single orthorhombic phase in all the three cases. The SEM images suggest grain like [for (a) and (b)] and rod like [for (c)] morphology of the crystallites. IR, Raman spectra as well as EDX analyses indicate formation of pure vanadia. Absorption spectra of the vanadia (b) and (c) suggest energy band gaps of 2.53 and 2.65 eV, respectively.     

Germatranes and their quasi and hypo analogs with highly electronegative substituent at the Ge atom

Synthesis of germatranes XGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N (1), quasigermatranes X₂Ge(OCH₂CH₂)₂NR (R = H, Me) (2), and hypogermatranes X₃Ge(OCH₂CH₂)NH₂ (3) containing highly electronegative substituents at the Ge atom was described. An exchange reaction of the corresponding hydroxygermatranes with ammonium salts was used for their preparation. The synthesized compounds 1–3 were studied by IR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and characterization of glycol ether and oxime modified precursors of niobium(V) for soft transformation to niobia

A glycol ether modified precursor, [Nb{O(CH₂CH₂O)₂}(OPrⁱ)₃] (A) was prepared by the reaction of Nb(OPrⁱ)₅ with O(CH₂CH₂OH)₂ in 1:1 molar ratio in anhydrous benzene. Further reactions of A with a variety of internally functionalized oximes in different molar ratios, yielded heteroleptic complexes of the type, [Nb{O(CH₂CH₂O)₂}(OPrⁱ)_3?n{ON = C(CH₃)(Ar)}_n] (1–9) {where Ar = C₄H₃O-2, n = 1 [1], n = 2 [2], n = 3 [3]; C₄H₃S-2, n = 1 [4], n = 2 [5], n = 3 [6]; C₅H₄N-2, n = 1 [7], n = 2 [8], n = 3 [9]}. All the above derivatives have been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C {¹H}) and FAB mass studies. Spectral studies of 1–9 suggest the presence of mono- and bi-dentate mode of oxime moieties, in the solution and in the solid states, respectively. FAB mass studies indicate monomeric nature for 3 and dimeric nature for A. TG curves of A and 6 show their low thermal stability. Soft transformation of A and 3 to pure niobia, a and b, respectively have been carried out by sol–gel technique. The XRD patterns of niobia a and b suggest the formation of nano-size crystallites of average size of 10.8 and 19.5 nm, respectively. The XRD patterns also indicate the formation of monoclinic phase of the niobia in both the cases. Absorption spectra of a and b suggest energy band gaps of 4.95 and 4.39 eV, respectively.     

Ethylene polymerization with novel phenoxy-imine catalysts bearing 4-vinylphenyl group

This contribution reports ethylene polymerization behavior of titanium complexes incorporating bis(phenoxyimine) ligands. Six phenoxy-imine Ti(IV) complexes {6-R1-2-[CH=N(2,6-difluoro-3,5-diR2-4-R3Ph)]C6H3O}2TiCl2(1: R1 = H, R2 = H, R3 = H; 2: R1 = H, R2 = H, R3 = 4-vinylphenyl; 3: R1 = CH3, R2 = H, R3 = H; 4: R1 = CH3, R2 = H, R3 = 4-vinylphenyl; 5: R1 = CH3, R2 = F, R3 = H; 6: R1 = CH3, R2 = F, R3 = 4-vinylphenyl) have been synthesized and evaluated for ethylene polymerization using dried MAO(simplified as DMAO) as cocatalyst. An obvious catalytic heterogeneity of Cat 2(Complex 2/DMAO) towards ethylene polymerization was observed, which was illustrated by decreased activity, multimodal molecular weight distribution and partially improved particle morphology comparing with Cat 1. Moreover, Cat 3 exhibits "living" characteristics in the process under certain conditions(25 °C, less than 20 min). Otherwise, the moderate to high ethylene polymerization activity of ca. 105-106 g PE/(mol Ti·h) and high molecular weight(Mw = 105-106) of polyethylene can be obtained by changing the skeleton structure of these complexes.     

Studies on Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes of a ligand derived from 1,3-phenylenediamine and 5-bromosalicylaldehyde synthesis, characterisation, thermal properties and use as new precursors for preparation cobalt and copper oxide nano-particles

A symmetric tetradentate Schiff base ligand, N,N′-bis(5-bromosalicylaldehyde)-1,3-phenylenediamine [(Brsal)₂-1,3-phen) and its Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes with general formula M₂((Brsal)₂-1,3-phen)₂, where M=Co (1) and Cu (2)], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and FTIR spectroscopy. In addition, Schiff base ligand has been characterized by ¹HNMR spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis of the ligand and its metal complexes reveals their thermal stability and decomposition pattern.     

New N-nicotinyl and N-isonicotinyl, N′,N″-diaryl phosphorictriamides with new Er(III) complex: synthesis, spectroscopic study and crystal structures

Ten new N-nicotinyl and N-isonicotinyl phosphoramidates with formula XP(O)R₂, X?=?Nicotinamide(nia), R?=?NHCH₂Ph (1), N(CH₃)CH₂Ph (2), NHCH(CH₃)Ph (3), NH-CH₂C₄H₃O (4), NHCH₂(C₅H₄N) (5), 3-NH-C₅H₄N (6), and YP(O)R₂, Y?=?isonicotinamide(iso), R?=?NHCH₂Ph (7), N(CH₃)CH₂Ph (8), NHCH(CH₃)Ph (9), NH-CH₂C₄H₃O (10) plus one new Er(III) complex with formula Er(L)₂(NO₃)₃ (11), L?=?(iso)PO(NHCH₂C₄H₃O)₂ (10), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR, UV?Cvis spectroscopy. Crystal structures of compounds 10 and 11 were also determined by X-ray crystallography. Interestingly, the ¹H NMR spectra of compounds 1, 2, 6, 7, 9 indicated long-range ⁿ J _P,H (n?=?5,6,7) coupling constants, in the range of 1.4?C1.9?Hz, for the splitting of pyridine ring protons with phosphorus atom. IR results showed that the ??(C=O) values of compounds 7?C10 are greater than those of compounds 1?C5 which means that isonicotinyl moiety is more electron withdrawing than nicotinyl group. X-ray outcomes revealed that in complex 11 three phosphoric triamide ligands have been connected to each Er(III); one from N_pyridine and two from P=O donor sites. One of the P=O donor ligands is mono dentate while the other one acts as a bidentate ligand and coordinates to another Er atom via its N_pyridine site. By forming complex 11 the P=O and C?CN_amide bond lengths of ligand is increased in both, mono and bi dentate, ligands while the C=O bond length is decreased to lower values. These variations are in good agreement with IR results. All H-bonds and electrostatic interactions lead to form a three-dimensional polymeric cluster in the crystal lattice of 10 and 11.     

Thermal decomposition of some silver(I) carboxylates under nitrogen atmosphere

The thermal decomposition reactions of CH₃CH₂C(CH₃)₂COOAg (1), (CH₃)₃SiCH₂COOAg (2), CF₃COOAg (3), (CH₃)₃CCOOAg (4), C₂H₅COOAg (5), C₃F₇COOAg (6), C₆F₁₃COOAg (7) and (CF₂)₃(COOAg)₂ (8) were studied in N₂ atmosphere using thermogravimetry (TG), derivative thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis.

TG-IR studies of gases evolved during thermolysis revealed products of decomposition, such as carboxylic acids, CO₂ and recombination reactions.     

Structural organization and thermal behavior of the heteropolynuclear complex [Au2{S2CN(CH3)2}4][ZnCl4] and the heterovalent complex ([Au{S2CN(CH3)2}2][AuCl2]) n obtained in the chemisorption system [Zn2{S2CN(CH3)2}4]-Au3+/2 M HCl

Reactions of freshly precipitated binuclear zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate with [AuCl₄]^? anions in 2 M HCl were studied. The heteropolynuclear complex [Au₂{S₂CN(CH₃)₂}₄][ZnCl₄] (I) and the polymeric heterovalent complex ([Au{S₂CN(CH₃)₂}₂][AuCl₂]) _n (II) were preparatively isolated from the chemisorption system [Zn₂{S₂CN(CH₃)₂}₄]-Au³⁺/2 M HCl. The products were characterized by ¹³C MAS NMR data and by X-ray diffraction determination of crystal and molecular structures. The principal structural units of compounds I and II are the tetragonal planar complex cations [Au{S₂CN(CH₃)₂}₂]⁺ (in which the complex-forming ion coordinates two MDtc ligands in the S,S′-bidentate mode) and the anions, namely, the distorted tetrahedral anion [ZnCl₄]^2? in I and the linear [AuCl₂]^? anion in II. The further structural self-organization of complexes at the supramoleular level occurs through relatively weak secondary bonds Au?S and Au?Cl. The chemisorption capacities of zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate calculated from gold(III)-binding reactions are 644.1 and 1288.2 mg of gold per gram of the sorbent. Simultaneous thermal analysis studies of the thermal behavior of I and II were used to elucidate the conditions of gold recovery.
