Synthesis,spectroscopic, and antimicrobial study of Ca(II), Fe(III), Pd(II), and Au(III) complexes of amoxicillin antibiotic drug

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, theoretical and antimicrobial studies of Ca(II), Fe(III), Pd(II), and Au(III) complexes of amoxicillin (amox) antibiotic drug are presented in the current paper. Structure of 1: 1 (metal: amox) complexes were elucidated on the basis of elemental analyses, and IR, Raman, ¹H NMR, and electronic spectral data. According to molar conductance measurements the complexes had electrolyte nature. Amoxicillin reacted with metal ions as a tridentate ligand coordinated with metal ions via–NH₂,–NH, and β-lactam carbonyl groups. The complexes were formulated as [Ca(amox-Na)(H₂O)]·Cl₂·4H₂O (1), [Fe(amox-Na)(H₂O)₃]·Cl₃·3H₂O (2), [Pd(amox-Na)(H₂O)]·Cl₂ (3), and [Au(amox-Na)(H₂O)]·Cl₃ (4). Kinetic thermodynamic parameters (E*, ΔS*, ΔH*, and ΔG*) were calculated based on the Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger methods using thermo gravimetric curves of TG and DTG. Nanosize particles of amoxicillin complexes have been studied by XRD, SEM, and TEM methods. Theoretical studies of the synthesized complexes have been performed.     

Synthesis,experimental and theoretical characterization,and antimicrobial studies of some Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes of 2-(4,6-dihydroxypyrimidin-2-ylamino)naphthalene-1,4-dione

The work reported the synthesis and characterisation of Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, and Ni²⁺ complexes of 2-(4,6-dihydroxypyrimidin-2-ylamino)naphthalene-1,4-dione (HL). The spectroscopic and elemental analysis results obtained were consistent with the adoption of the formulas, [ML₂] (M = Fe and Co) and [ML₂(H₂O)] (M = Ni) for the metal complexes. Electronic spectra and magnetic moments of the metal complexes corroborated octahedral geometry for Ni(II) complex and tetrahedral geometry for Fe(II) and Co(II) complexes. However, quantum-chemical calculations using density functional theory predicted trigonal bipyramidal geometry for Ni(II) complex and provided corroborative explanations for the structures of the other complexes. Conductance measurements in dimethylsulfoxide indicate that the complexes are non-electrolytes. The antimicrobial potential of the compounds was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella oxytoca, Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, and Rhizopus stolonifer. The compounds gave moderate to good antimicrobial activity. However, the bacterial and fungal organisms were more susceptible to the cobalt complex and ligand respectively than the other compounds at concentration of 10 mg/mL. The compounds were also assessed for their antioxidant potential using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. The compounds displayed good DPPH radical scavenging activities. The nickel complex exhibited the best DPPH radical scavenging activity compared to the other compounds.     

Synthesis,spectral, antimicrobial,and thermal properties of Ce(III), Gd(III), Nd(III), Tb(III), and Er(III) gliclazide complexes

The complexation between the lanthanide metal ions Ce(III), Gd(III), Nd(III), Tb(III), and Er(III) and gliclazide produced 1 : 1 molar ratio metal: gliclazide (Glz) complexes coordinated in a monodentate fashion via the OH group and having the general formulas [M(Glz)Cl₃(H₂O)]·xH₂O (M = Ce, Gd, Nd and x = 1, 3, 4, respectively) and [M(Glz)(H₂O)₄]Cl₃·yH₂O (M = Tb, Er and y = 1, 2, respectively). The structure of the synthesized lanthanide gliclazide complexes was assigned by IR, ¹HNMR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Thermal analysis and kinetic and thermodynamic parameters gave evidence for the thermal stability of the Glz complexes. The latter showed a significant antimicrobial effect against some bacteria and fungi.     

Varieties in structures of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) coordination compounds based on dimethyl pyridin-2-ylcarbamoylphosphoramidate

A series of new 3d metal complexes based on dimethyl pyridin-2-ylcarbamoylphosphoramidate (HL) was synthesized. The compounds with general formula M(HL)₂Cl₂·nH₂O and M(L)₂·nH₂O (M=Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺) were characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray analysis and IR spectroscopy. The organic ligands in all complexes are coordinated via oxygen atom of the carbonyl group and nitrogen atom of the heterocycle. The coordination environment of the central atoms is a distorted octahedron. The axial positions in the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes with deprotonated ligands are occupied by water molecules. The Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes with phosphoryl ligands in a neutral form have different ligands in the axial positions: in the Co(II) complex, the positions are occupied by two water molecules, whereas in the Cu(II) complex, the positions are occupied by two chlorine anions. The structure of HL was experimentally and theoretically obtained by utilizing single-crystal X-ray analysis and DFT calculations. The computationally optimized geometric parameters for HL show a good agreement with the experimental results.     

Synthesis,characterization, DFT modeling and biological studies of new Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) 4,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2-amino-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbinitrile complexes

Three new metal complexes of 4,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2-amino-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbinitrile (L) with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) were synthesized and characterized with physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The data suggest that (L) acts as a bidentate ligand bound to the divalent metal ions through amino N and carbinitrile N atoms having [M(L)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ formula (M = metal ions). The theoretical parameters, model structures, charges and molecular orbitals of all possible complexes have been determined using density functional theory. The energy gap of free ligand is ?E = 0.12565 eV, and this value is greater than energy gap of complexes, which indicates that the complexes are more reactive than free ligand. Also, ?E of Co(II) complex is lower than other complexes, which indicates that Co(II) complex is more reactive than Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the ligand, metal salts and its complexes were tested against some microorganisms (bacteria and fungi). The complexes showed increased antibacterial and antifungal profile in comparison with the free ligand.

According to X-ray diffraction data, CuLBr₂ and CoLX₂ (X = Cl, Br, and I) are mononuclear molecular complexes. The ligand L is coordinated to the metal atom in a chelating bidentate fashion through the N atoms of the pyrimidine and pyrazole rings. The coordination polyhedron of the metal atom is extended to a distorted tetrahedron by two halide ions. In solution, CuLBr₂ undergoes slow transformation into CuL_(1?x)L′ _x Br₂ and the binuclear (X-ray diffraction data) Cu(I) complex [CuL_(1?x)L′ _x Br]₂ (L′ is 4-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methyl-2-phenylpyrimidine). The complexes MLX₂ show weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the M²⁺ ions.     

Synthesis,characterization, spectroscopic and catalytic oxidation studies of Fe(III), Ni(II), Co(III), V(IV) and U(VI) Schiff base complexes with N,O donor ligands derived from 2,3-diaminopyridine

Fifteen new complexes of transition metals were designed using three Schiff base ligands and aldol condensation of 2,3-diaminopyridine with 5-R-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (R = F, Cl, Br) in the 1:2 molar ratio. The tetradentate ligands N,N′-bis(5-R-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) pyridine were acquired with the common formula H₂[(5-R-sal)₂py] and characterized by IR, UV–Vis spectra, ¹H-NMR and elemental analysis. These ligands produce 1:1 complexes M[(5-R-sal)₂py] with Fe(III), Ni(II), Co(III), V(IV) and U(VI) metal ions. The electronic property and nature of complexes were identified by IR, UV–Vis spectra, elemental analysis, X-ray crystallography and cyclic voltammetric methods. The catalytic activity of complexes for epoxidation of styrene with UHP as primary oxidant at minimal temperature (10 °C) has been planned. The spectral data of the ligands and their complexes are deliberate in connection with the structural changes which happen due to complex preparation. The electrochemical outcome has good conformability with what suggested for electronic interaction among metal center and ligand by the UV–Vis and IR measurements.

The ligand shows strong fluorescence, and the fluorescence intensity is weakened after the Cu(II) complex formed.     

Copper(II) coordination compounds with 8-quinolinaldehyde semicarbazone: Synthesis and structure

A series of compounds of the general formula Cu(HL)X₂ · nH₂O (compound I, X = ClO₄, n = 3; compound II, X = NO₃, n = 2; compound III, X = Cl, n = 0.5; compound IV, X = 1/2SO₄, n = 0) is isolated by the reactions of the copper(II) salts with quinolinaldehyde semicarbazone (HL). Regardless of the reactant ratio, only the compounds with a metal to ligand mole ratio of 1: 1 are formed, where the organic reactant is coordinated in the molecular form. The X-ray diffraction analyses of the [Cu(HL)(NO₃)(H₂O)](NO₃) · H₂O (II) and [Cu(HL)Cl₂] · 0.5H₂O(III) compounds show their substantially different organizations of the molecular structures depending on the specifics of the acido ligand. An ionic structure with one NO ₃ ^? anion incorporated into the inner coordination sphere of the metal as a bidentate chelate ligand is observed in compound II. Molecular tetragonal pyramidal complexes associated into a dimer due to the bridging function of one coordinated Cl^? anion are formed in structure III. The coordination polyhedron of the copper atom in structures II and III is an asymmetrically extended tetragonal bipyramid. The CuClCu angle equal to 90° and the distance between two planes in compound III equal to 2.978 Å determine the insignificant antiferromagnetic interaction in this compound (g = 2.1, J = ?2.5 cm^?1).

N-acetimidoylacetamidine ligand was derived from the self-condensation reaction of acetonitrile, and the reaction was promoted by the cooperation of M(II) (M = Co in 1 and M = Ni in 2) with diphenylcarbazide. 1 and 2 are characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and infrared spectrum.

Synthesis and crystal structure of zinc(II) and manganese(II) complexes of 2-(diphenylacetyl)indandione-1,3

Zinc(II) and manganese(II) complexes of 2-(diphenylacetyl)indandione-1,3 (HL) were synthesized. Crystals of [M(DMSO)₂L₂] · CHCl₃, where M= Zn^(II) (I) and Mn^(II) (II), obtained from chloroform plus dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixture were found to be isostructural based on the similarity of their unit cell parameters and unit cell volumes. The crystals are triclinic, Z = 2, space group P \(\bar 1\); a = 10.422(1) Å, b = 11.929(1) Å, c = 20.429(1) Å, α = 73.616(1)°, β = 85.095(1)°, γ = 77.586(1)° for complex I; a = 10.436(1) Å, b = 12.297(1) Å, c = 19.924(2) Å, α = 78.138(2)°, β = 87.625(2)°, γ = 82.048(2)° for complex II. X-ray structural analysis of complex I was carried out. For complex II, the structure was not refined because all of its atoms are each disordered over three to five positions. The two DMSO molecules in complex I coordinate the central metal atoms in the monodentate mode via their donor oxygen atoms to occupy an axial position and an equatorial position in an octahedral polyhedron. The other four positions are occupied by the four oxygen atoms of the two deprotonated ligands L^? coordinated in the bidentate-cyclic mode. The outer sphere of complex I contains the solvating chloroform molecule.

A series of new arene ruthenium(II) complexes were prepared by reaction of ruthenium(II) precursors of the general formula [(η⁶-arene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]₂ with N,N′-bidentate pyridyl-imine ligands to form complexes of the type [(η⁶-arene)RuCl(C₅H₄N-2-CH=N-R)]PF₆, with arene = C₆H₆, R = iso-propyl (1a), tert-butyl (1b), cyclohexyl (1c), cyclopentyl (1d) and n-butyl (1e); arene = p-cymene, R = iso-propyl (2a), tert-butyl (2b). The complexes were fully characterized by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR, UV–Vis and IR spectroscopies, elemental analyses, and the single-crystal X-ray structures of 2a and 2b have been determined. The single-crystal molecular structure revealed both compounds with a pseudo-octahedral geometry around the Ru(II) center, normally referred to as a piano stool conformation, with the pyridyl-imine as a bidentate N,N ligand. The activity of all complexes in the transfer hydrogenation of cyclohexanone in the presence of NaOH and iso-propanol is reported, the compounds showing turnover numbers of close to 1990 and high conversions. Complex 2b was also shown to be very effective for a range of aliphatic and cyclic ketones, giving conversions of up to 100 %.     

Reduction kinetics of glycinate complexes of palladium(II) on a dropping-mercury electrode in acid perchlorate solutions

Polarograms for the reduction of glycinate complexes of palladium(II) (5 × 10^?5 M) are obtained in equilibrium solutions of pH 0.8–3.0 with different protonated-glycine concentrations c _Hgly (supporting electrolyte, 0.5 M NaClO₄). It is established that the irreversible wave of reduction of complexes Pd(gly)₂ corresponds to the diffusion limiting current I _d ⁽²⁾ . A similar wave at pH 1.5 and c _Hgly = 0.005 M, as well as at pH 1.0 and c _Hgly = 0.05–0.5 M is preceded by the diffusion limiting current I _d ⁽¹⁾ . Values of the I _d ⁽²⁾ /I _d ⁽¹⁾ ratio are close to the ratio between equilibrium concentrations of Pd(gly)₂] and [Pdgly⁺], calculated using the step stability constant for Pd(gly)₂. This fact testifies to the reduction of complexes Pdgly⁺ in the vicinity of I _d ⁽¹⁾ and complexes Pd(gly)₂, in the vicinity of I _d ⁽²⁾ . At pH 0.8–1.2 and [H₂gly⁺] = 1 × 10^?4 to 5 × 10^?3 there is observed the diffusion-kinetic limiting current of the first wave I ₁ ⁽¹⁾ , which increases with increasing [H⁺] and decreasing [H₂gly⁺]. The nature of the slow preceding chemical stage that occurs during the reduction of complexes Pdgly⁺ is discussed.

The thermodynamic parameters (logK, Δ _r G⁰, Δ _r H, Δ _r S) of formation for these complexes were determined at 298.15 K and an ionic strength I = 0.5 (KNO3). The most probable pattern of coordination between a complexone and an amino acid in mixed-ligand complexes was revealed.
