Synthesis and characterization of novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) with non-cyclic polyether Schiff base

Nine novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) with salicylidene tetraethvlcne glycol diamine (SALTTA) have been synthesized and characterized.They have the general formulae [LnCu2(SALTTA)2(NO3)3](NO3)4 3H2O (Ln=La,Pr.Nd,Srn) and [LnCu3(SALTTA)3(NO3)5]-(NO3)4-4H2O (Ln=Gd,Tb,Er,Yb,Y).The IR spectra show that vc=N in the Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) het-eronuclear complexes are splitted up into two peaks with a far distance.It has been confirmed that oxygen atoms in oxyethylene of the ligand are not all coordinated to the central metal ions by both IR and NMR methods.     

Discovery of a series of pyridopyrimidine derivatives as potential topoisomerase Ⅰ inhibitors

A series of new 3-benzoheterocyclic substituted pyridopyrimidines were designed and synthesized.Structures of the compounds were determined by IR,1H NMR, and elemental analyses. The antiproliferation activity of 13 novel compounds was evaluated in A549, HL-60, BGC-823 and SMMC-7721cell lines. Compounds 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 showed potent inhibitory activity against the four tested cancer cell lines. These six compounds were examined for Top I inhibition at 100 mmol/L by measuring the relaxation of supercoiled DNA in plasmid pBR322. Most of the tested compounds inhibited the enzyme at this concentration. The most potent compound 9 was as potent as camptothecin.     

Synthesis and catalytic activity of novel heteronuclear Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) complexes with noncyclic polyether-amino acid Schiff base

A series of novel heteronuclear Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) complexes with noncyclic polyether-amino acid Schiff base were synthesized. The general formula is [LnCu_2(H_2TALY)(NO_3)_5](NO_3)_2' nH_2O(Ln=La, Nd, Sm, Gd, n= 4; Ln=Yb, Y, n=3), where H_2TALY = tetraglycol aldehyde bis-lysine Schiff base. It is the first time to report the synthetic method for this new Cu(Ⅱ) complexes and Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) heteronuclear complexes. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, TG-DTA, magnetic susceptibility, and especially by a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer for 2D-COSY NMR. Coordination mechanism and structures of complexes have been suggested as well. Of particular interest is the potential that the novel complexes obtained may be used as a catalyst, which prompted us to investigate them. It shows 100% conversion with the viscosity-average molecular weight 120 000 for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) without addition of any cocatalyst. Furthermore, the complexes with such aliphatic Schiff bas     

Immobilized complexes of the salen Schiff’s base with metal as oxidation catalysts

The immobilized metal complexes with the Schiff’s base of salen have shown high catalytic activity in oxidation of alkenes, cycloalkenes, and alcohols as compared with their unsupported analogs. Due to the heterogeneous nature of such catalysts, their separation and recycling is rather simple.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic studies of cis-configuration copper(II)—M(II) (M = Ba,Ca) complexes of novel Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde and dipeptides

The novel heteronuclear complexes [M(CuL)₂]₂ · nH₂O [M = Ba (1), Ca (2); H₂L = N-salicylideneglycylglycine] were synthesized and characterized, and the crystal structure of complex (1) was determined by X-ray diffraction. The entire structure is held together by an extensive network of H-bonds and – interactions. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (75–300 K) revealed the occurrence of an intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction in (1) and (2).     

The crystal structure of a novel basket binuclear silver (Ⅰ) cryptate

The metal complexes of polyaza cryptand have attracted much attentionowing to their special structure, unusual photo-chemical, electrical and catalyticproperties. Recently, Lehn and Nelson synthesized successively a series ofcryptands and crypatates with high yield by (2+3) schiff-base condensation of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine and aryl dialdehyde. But so far, little work about the analogueswith larger cavities and flexible chains condensed by tris (3-aminopropyl) amine (abbr.     

Synthesis and characterization of inclusion complexes of aliphatic-aromatic poly(Schiff base)s with β-cyclodextrin (highlight)

This paper describes the formation of polymer inclusion complexes(polymer-CD-ICs) between β-cyclodextrin(β-CD) and aliphatic-aromatic poly(Schiff base)s. Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy, ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(¹H-NMR), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) have been used to observe the formation of polymer-CD-ICs. In FTIR spectra, the characteristic peaks of β-CD at 3391 cm⁻¹ shifted to 3418 cm⁻¹ and the intense peak at 1602 cm⁻¹ due to the –C = N– stretching vibration diminished after formation of inclusion complexes. Compared the ¹H-NMR of polymer-CD-ICs with β-CD, the chemical shift of the protons H-3, H-5 have shifted to higher field after the formation of inclusion complexes, which is perhaps due to the interaction of these protons with polymers. The TGA analysis revealed that the polymer-CD-ICs had better thermal stability than β-CD, suggesting that the polymer increased the stability of β-CD. The X-ray diffraction patterns displayed that the strong peak for both polymer-CD-ICs at approximately 20.0° (2θ) may confirm their IC formation.     

Design and synthesis of novel α-aminoamides derivatives as Nav1.7 inhibitors for antinociception

Synthesis of β-amino alcohols catalyzed by poly(vinyl chloride)-supported Schiff base metal complexes

Abstract  

Eight transition metal complexes of various Schiff bases supported on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) were prepared and characterized. These metal complexes were screened as heterogeneous catalysts in the synthesis of β-amino alcohols by ring opening of epoxides with amines. The best catalyst was identified as a Ni(II) complex of PVC-supported 2-[(2-aminoethylimino)methyl]phenol and it was used in the synthesis of a number of different β-amino alcohols. The catalyst was found to be reusable for up to five cycles.     

Infrared spectral studies on the stability of some binuclear transition metal—Schiff base complexes

Some di-Schiff bases like N,N′-o-phenylene-bis-salicylaldimine (DSB₁), N,N′-m-phenylene-bis-salicylaldimine (DSB₂) and N,N′-p-phenylene-bis-salicylaldimine (DSB₃) have been synthesized by the condensation of salicylaldehyde with o-, m- and p-phenylenediamines, respectively. The synthesized complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) with these ligands have been assigned their molecular structure on the basis of their elemental analyses, molecular weight determination, magnetic measurements, electronic spectra, molar volume and infrared spectral studies. The nature of bonding between metal ion and Schiff bases is studied by i.r. spectrophotometry. The shift in the band position of the groups involved in coordination has been utilized to estimate the coordination bond lengths. The value of the coordination bond length of Cu(II) complexes is shorter than the corresponding values for Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes.     

Some novel tetradentate Schiff base complexes VO(IV) and Cu(II) involving fluorinated heterocyclic β-diketones and polymethylene diamines of varying chain length

The present article describes the synthesis, spectral, coordination and thermal aspects of N,N′-polymethylene bis(1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-trifluoroacetylimino-2-pyrazoline-5-ol)oxovanadium(IV) or copper(II) Schiff base complexes with alkyl backbones ranging from two to four carbons have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, magnetic moments, molar conductivity measurements, spectra (FTIR, ESR, UV-Visible, MS), VPO and thermal studies. The vapour pressure osmometry (VPO) and mass spectral studies indicate that the complexes are monomeric. An ESR study of all these complexes of VO(IV) and Cu(II) are consistent with the square pyramidal and square planar geometries of these metal ions, respectively. In addition, the kinetics and thermodynamic parameters for the different thermal decomposition steps of the complexes have been studied employing Horowitz-Metzger and Freemen-Carroll methods.     

Design,synthesis and biological evaluation of novel quinazoline derivatives as potential NF-κb inhibitors

A series of novel 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives were designed, synthesized and biological properties on nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κb) pathway inhibitory and potential in vitro anti-proliferation against breast cancer lines were also evaluated. Among them, LU1501 exhibited potent inhibition with IC₅₀ values in SK-BR-3 (10.16 ± 0.86 µM) and HCC1806 (10.66 ± 1.01 µM) cell lines. In vivo studies in breast cancer tumor model proved the correlation between anticancer activity of LU1501 and proliferation inhibition through the NF-κb signal pathway. The molecular docking studies also portrayed the potential binding mechanism between LU1501 and the key proteins of p65 and IkBα in NF-κb pathway. Accordingly, compound LU1501 could serve as a potent agent against breast cancer for further investigation.

Diastereoisomeric (η6-arene)ruthenium(II) chiral Schiff base complexes: crystal structure of a triphenylphosphine adduct

Reaction of [(η⁶-p-cymene)RuCl(L*)] with AgClO₄ in Me₂CO gives a perchlorate complex which on subsequent treatment with PPh₃, γ-picoline or Cl⁻ yields adducts showing that there can be retention as well as inversion of configuration at the metal centre. The (R)_Ru,(S_C absolute configurations of the chiral centres in the triphenylphosphine adduct have been established by an X-ray diffraction study [HL*, (S-α-methylbenzylsalicylaldimine]. The CD spectral study reveals that there is an inversion of configuration during formation of the PPh₃ adduct.     

Ruthenium(II)/(III) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes of highly conjugated β-diketones and their macrocyclic Schiff base binuclear copper(II) complexes

Ruthenium(II) complexes of the general formula [Ru(PPh3)2(L)(L)]ClO4 [L=2,2-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline;L=2-hydroxy--4-X-phenylcinnamoylacetophenone] have been prepared by reacting L and L with Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 in CH2Cl2. The complexes are diamagnetic and absorb intensely in the visible region, owing to the MLCT transition. Hexacoordinated ruthenium(III) complexes, [RuCl2(PPh3)2(L)], have also been prepared by reacting Ru(PPh3)3Cl3 with -diketones. Solutions of ruthenium(III) complexes show rhombic e.s.r. spectra at 77 K, and distortion from the octahedral symmetry has been identified from the line spacings. The conjugation in diketones favours reversibility in RuII/III and RuIII/IV and stabilize ruthenium in different oxidation states owing to d–* interaction. Oxovanadyl(IV) complexes of the -diketones with a metal-to-ligand ratio of 1:2 and square pyramidal geometry were also prepared. The e.s.r spectra of these complexes show the presence of an unpaired electron in the dxy orbital and the hyperfine splitting constants are sensitive to solvent change. ¶ A new class of highly conjugated Schiff bases obtained from the above diketones and 2-aminothiophenol behave as dibasic, tridentate ligands in their copper(II) complexes. The subnormal magnetic moments and hyperfine splittings of these complexes are ascribed to an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction arising from dimerization. Cyclic voltammograms show that the electron transfer occurs in two steps corresponding to CuII–CuI and CuI–CuI redox states.
