Synthesis,characterization and catalytic oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular oxygen over host (nanopores of zeolite-Y)/guest ([Ni([R]2-N2X2)]2+ (R = H,CH3; X = NH,O, S) nanocatalyst

Nickel(II) complexes of 12-membered macrocyclic ligands with different donating atoms (N₂O₂, N₂S₂ and N₄) in the macrocyclic ring have been encapsulated in the nanocavity of zeolite-Y by the fexible-ligand method. Nickel(II) complexes with macrocyclic ligands were entrapped in the nanocavity of zeolite-Y by a two-step process in the liquid phase: (i) adsorption of precursor ligand; 1,2-di(o-aminophenyl-, amino, oxo, thio)ethane, N₂X₂; in the supercages of the Ni(II)–NaY, and (ii) in situ condensation of the Ni(II) precursor complex; [Ni(N₂X₂)]²⁺; with glyoxal or biacetyl. The new host–guest nanocatalysts (HGNM), [Ni([R]₂-N₂X₂)]²⁺–NaY (R = H, CH₃; X = NH, O, S), have been characterized by FT-IR, DRS and UV–Vis spectroscopic techniques, XRD and elemental analysis, as well as nitrogen adsorption, and were used for oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular oxygen.

(5,15-Bis(2-thienyl)-and 5,15-diphenyl-3,7,13,17-tetramethyl-2,8,12,18-tetra-n-butyl-21H,23H-porphinato)copper(II) complexes were synthesized and the basicity, absorption spectra (UV-Vis, IR, ¹H NMR) of the macrocyclic ligands and the stability of the complexes in AcOH-H₂SO₄ mixed solvents were studied with the aim to reveal the effect of 2-thienyl substituent on the properties of substituted porphyrins. Data on kinetics were obtained, reaction mechanism of complex dissociation was reasoned, and the effect of functional substitution on the properties of macrocyclic bases and their complexes with copper(II) were determined.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and spectroscopic properties of copper(II) complexes with 3,14-diethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo(16.4.0.07,12)docosane

[Cu(L)(NO₃)₂] (1) and [Cu(L)(H₂O)₂](SCN)₂ (2) [L?=?3,14-diethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo(16.4.0.0^7,12)docosane] have been prepared and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 100?K. For these constrained macrocycle complexes, copper(II) exists in a tetragonally distorted octahedral environment with the four nitrogen atoms of the macrocyclic ligands and two oxygen atoms from either nitrate or water in axial positions. The macrocyclic ligands in both complexes adopt the most stable trans-III conformation. The Cu–N distances are 2.021(2)–2.047(2)?Å and typical but the axial ligands are weakly coordinating, with Cu–O bond lengths, 2.506(2)?Å for 1 and 2.569(2)?Å for 2, due to the pseudo Jahn–Teller effect. The crystals are stabilized by a 3-D network by intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonds that are formed among the secondary nitrogen hydrogen atoms and nitrate in 1, and intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed by water and thiocyanates in 2. The electronic absorption and IR spectral properties are also discussed.     

Electronic, cyclic voltammetry, IR and EPR spectral studies of copper(II) complexes with 12-membered N4, N2O2 and N2S2 donor macrocyclic ligands

A new series of copper(II) complexes have been synthesized with macrocyclic ligands having three different donating atoms in the macrocyclic ring. It has been shown that the stereochemistry of complexes is dependent on the coordinated anions. These complexes are characterized by various physicochemical techniques, viz. elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, electronic, 1H NMR and EPR spectral studies. Cyclic voltammetric behavior of the complexes has also been discussed. The observed anisotropic g-values indicate that the chloro and acetato complexes are six-coordinate tetragonal. Whereas the sulfato and nitrato complexes are found to have five-coordinate square-pyramidal and four-coordinate square-planar geometry, respectively.     

Spectral studies, cyclic voltammetry and synthesis of cobalt(II) and ruthenium(III) complexes with symmetric and asymmetric ring containing membered N2S2, N4, and N5 donor macrocyclic ligands

Reaction of divalent cobalt(II) and trivalent ruthenium(III) salts (NO3, SCN and SO4) with macrocyclic ligands L1, L2 and L3 having N2S2, N4 and N5 core, have been designed and carry out. All these three macrocyclic ligands and their complexes were obtained in pure form. Their structures were investigated by using microanalytical analyses, IR, mass, magnetic moments, electronic and EPR spectral studies. The redox properties of the complexes were also examined by cyclic voltammetry. An interesting feature of complexes is that the relatively large rings of macrocyclic ligands prevent the macrocyclic rings from approaching the metal center as closely as they would, if they were not constrained. So the Ru-N distances are longer than expected due to ring size. Electrochemical studies show that the macrocyclic ligand L1 is more effective electron donors to ruthenium than of L2 and L3. Electronic spectral properties also show that the sulphur donor atom of L1 weakens the ligand field with respect to ligand-to-metal charge-transfer band. However it is expected that second-row transition metal-ligand bonds tend to be weaker than third-row transition metal-ligand bonds. There are well-established examples of reactions in which decreased of reactivity down a triad of transition metals is not observed. These novelties are usually attributed to pi-bonding effects for ligands such as carbon monoxide, solvent effects, or a change in mechanism.

Azamacrocyclic nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes bearing aryl substituents: synthesis,properties, and crystal structures

A synthetic procedure for preparation of new amphiphilic copper(II) and nickel(II) azamacrocyclic complexes bearing aromatic substituents is developed. The nature of substituents is shown to exert a negligible influence on spectral and electrochemical characteristics of the prepared compounds. The X-ray diffraction analysis of three copper complexes revealed the formation of the dimers of macrocyclic cations associated by noncovalent interactions, nature of which is determined by the structure of the substituent in the macrocyclic ligand.

New square-planar bis(macrocyclic)dicopper(II) complexes containing phenylene bridges between 16-membered pentaaza macrocyclic subunits have been synthesized via in-situ one pot template condensation reaction (IOPTCR) of aromatic nitrogen-nitrogen linker (R = 1,4-phenylenediamine; benzidine; 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane; 4,4′-diaminodiphenylether; 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfone), formaldehyde, bis(1,3-diaminopropane)copper(II) perchlorate and 1,3-dibromopropane in a 1:4:2:2 molar ratio results in the formation of new series of binuclear copper(II) complexes; 1-phenyl- (1); 1,1′-phenyl- (2); 1,1′-diphenylmethan- (3); 1,1′-diphenylether- (4); 1,1′-diphenylsulfone- (5) bis(1,3,7,11,15-pentaazacyclohexadecane)copper(II)), {[Cu([16]aneN₅)]₂R}(ClO₄)₄″. The formation of the macrocyclic framework and the mode of bonding of the complexes have been confirmed by data obtained from elemental analyses, UV-visible, FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, electronic spectral studies, conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. These bis(macrocyclic) complexes catalyzed efficiently the selective oxidation of tetrahydrofuran into tetrahydrofuran-2-one and a small amount of tetrahydrofuran-2-ol and 4-hydroxybutyraldehyde using dil. H₂O₂ as the oxidant.

The metal-to-ligand ratios were found to be 1?:?1. Cu(II) metal complexes are 1?:?2 electrolytes as shown by their molar conductivities (Λ_M) in DMF (dimethyl formamide) at 10^?3?M. The Cu(II) complexes are proposed to be square planar based on elemental analysis, FT–IR, UV–Vis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity measurements, and mass spectra.

Novel copper(II) homobinuclear macrocyclic complexes: cyclic voltammetry, biological properties and spectral studies

A series of five new copper(II) macrocyclic complexes have been synthesized by template condensation. The bonding and stereochemistry of the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, IR, UV-visible, EPR spectral studies and electrochemical properties. g-Values are calculated for all of the complexes in polycrystalline form as well as in DMSO solution. The magnetic and spectral data indicate square planar geometry for all the complexes. Cyclic voltammograms for all the complexes are similar and involve two quasi-reversible redox processes. Cu(II)Cu(II)<=>Cu(II)Cu(I)<=>Cu(I)Cu(I). Their biological properties have also been studied. The macrocyclic complexes show more anti-bacterial than controlled one. The anti-bacterial activities of the compounds were tested against Streptococcus fecalis and Escherichia coli with different concentrations.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties of the first nonanuclear lanthanide(III)-copper(II) complexes of macrocyclic oxamide [NaLn(2)Cu(6)] (macrocyclic oxamide = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotradecanne-2,3-dione, Ln = Pr, Nd)

Two new nonanuclear lanthanide(III)-copper(II) complexes of macrocyclic oxamide [NaPr(2)(CuL)(6)(H(2)O)(6)](ClO(4))(6)Cl small middle dot6H(2)O (1) and [NaNd(2)(CuL)(6)(H(2)O)(6)](ClO(4))(6)Cl small middle dot8H(2)O (2) have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR, and electronic spectra, where L = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotradecanne-2,3-dione. The crystal structures of the two complexes have been determined. The structures of 1 and 2 consist of nonanuclear cations, perchlorate and chloride anions, and water molecules. In the two complexes, each copper(II) ion is connected to lanthanide(III) ion via the exo-cis oxygen atoms of the oxamido macrocyclic ligands, resulting in a tetranuclear subunit. The sodium ion links two tetranuclear subunits via the exo oxygen atoms of the oxamido macrocyclic ligands which results in a novel nonanuclear complex. The magnetic properties of the two complexes have been investigated. Preliminary treatment of the magnetic data by considering Ln(III) as free ion cannot give reasonable results, and accurate models involving both the orbital contribution and ligand field effect have to be developed.     

Coordination behavior toward copper(II) and zinc(II) ions of three ligands joining 3-hydroxy-2-pyridinone and polyaza fragments

The synthesis and characterization of new polydentate ligand 2-(N),2'-(N')-bis[2-(3-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyridin-1-yl)acetamido]-1(N'),2(N),2'(N')-trimethyl-2,2'-diaminodiethylamine (L3) is reported. The coordination properties of L3 and of two analogous macrocyclic ligands (L1 and L2) toward Cu(II) and Zn(II) metal ions are reported. All three ligands show the 3-hydroxy-2(1H)-pyridinone (HPO) groups attached as sidearms to a polyaza fragment, which is a macrocyclic framework in the case of L1 and L2 while it is an open chain in the case of L3. The role of the polyaza fragments in preorganizing the two sidearms was investigated. The basicity of L3 and the binding properties of L1-L3 were determined by means of potentiometric measurements in aqueous solution (298.1 +/- 0.1 K, I = 0.15 mol dm(-3)). UV-vis spectra as well 1H and 13C NMR experiments were used to understand the role of the HPO and of the polyaza fragments in the stabilization of the cations. While L1 forms stable mono- and dinuclear complexes, L2 and L3 can form only mononuclear species with each of the metal ions investigated. In the main mononuclear species of L2 and L3, the two HPO moieties stabilize the M(II) in a square planar geometry due to the two oxygen atoms of each HPO. The coordination sphere of the metal is completed by adding a secondary ligand such as water molecules in the case of Cu(II) systems or OH- in the Zn(II) systems. These results are confirmed by the crystal structures of the [CuH(-1)L2]+ and [CuH(-1)L3]+ species reported herein. Two conformations of L1 can be hypothesized in the formation of the dinuclear species, as suggested by NMR experiments on the [ZnH(-2)L1] species, which shows two conformers slowly interchanging on the NMR time scale, one of which was found to be more insoluble.     

Direct synthesis,spectral and magnetic properties of trans-aniono(1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane-7-acetato) copper(II) complexes

7-Carboxymethyl-7,16-diaza-18-crown-6 acid hydrates (LH·H₂O) and their copper(II) complexes [CuLX], (X = Cl, Br, NO₃, ClO₄ and CH₃CO₂) were obtained. The earlier X-ray investigation of the [CuLCl] complex, as well as the IR and UV-vis spectral evidence for the complexes revealed the inner chelate structure with the six-coordinated copper(II) ion embedded inside the macrocyclic ligand (deformed octahedral, 4+2, N,N, CO₂⁻,X⁻,O,O-coordination sphere) and the trans arrangement of the CO₂ and X ligands. The spectral data, the conductivity measurements and the chemical properties show the existence of the macrocyclic inclusion cation [CuL]⁺ and the formulation of the complexes as the [(CuL)⁺X⁻] inner salts. The magnetic moments of the complexes amount to 1.76–1.83 BM at room temperature and 1.3–0.92 BM at 4.2 K. These results revealed the monomeric form of the complexes with the occurrence of the intermolecular (through space) magnetic super-exchange interactions of copper(II) paramagnetic centres.

Template synthesis and characterization of oxovanadium(IV) complexes with tetraaza macrocyclic ligands and their activity on potato virus X

The oxovanadium(IV) complexes (I) of the type [VO(L)]SO₄ have been prepared using an in-situ method of synthesis with ligands derived from di-2-thienylethanedione with 1,2-diaminobenzene or 2,3-diaminopyridine. These parent complexes have been further reacted with μ-diketones to yield macrocyclic complexes (II) of types [VO(mac)]SO₄ (where mac = macrocyclic ligands derived by condensation of amino group of parent complex with μ-diketones), wherein the VO²⁺ cation acts as a template. Tentative structures of these complexes have been proposed on the basis of elemental analysis, electrical conductance, magnetic moments and spectral (infrared, electronic and electron spin resonance) data. The oxovanadium(IV) complexes are five coordinated wherein the tetraaza macrocyclic ligands act as tetradentate chelating agents. All the complexes are found to inhibit the infectivity of potato virus X, when checked using the test plant Chenopodium amaranticolor.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new binuclear copper(II)-copper(II) complex of a macrocyclic oxamide

The binuclear metal complex [Cu(μ-exoO₂)cyclamCu(bpy)](ClO₄)₂·H₂O (bpy?=?2,2′-bipyridine and (exoO₂)cyclam?=?1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotradecanne-2,3-dione) has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis and spectroscopic and magnetic measurements. The structure consists of homobinuclear [Cu(μ-exoO₂)cyclamCu(bpy)]²⁺ cations, a weakly coordinated water molecule and perchlorate ions. In each binuclear unit, Cu1, coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of the macrocyclic organic ligand is connected to Cu2 via the exo-cis oxygen atoms of the macrocyclic ligand with Cu···Cu separations of 5.151?Å; Cu2 assumes square-pyramidal geometry. Magnetic properties measured at 2–300?K show antiferromagnetic exchange between adjacent copper(II) ions.
