Electronic spectra of Cu(II) crystal complexes with S-methylthiosemicarbazones

Electronic spectra for a series of coordination compounds of copper(II) with tridentant ligands of salicyl aldehyde S-methylthiosemicarbazone and 8-quinoline aldehyde S-methylthiosemicarbazone were investigated. Coordinations of central ions were determined on the basis of X-ray data and IR spectra. Electronic transitions were detected by processing the diffusion-reflection spectra according to theKubelka-Munk theory. Identifications proved the presence of bands corresponding to intraligand transition, charge transfer spectra and the transition of d-d type which are the result of the elimination of d-orbital degeneration for Cu(II) ions in the crystal field. The effect of the symmetry of coordination polyhedrons is discussed.

Crystal structures of Cu(II) complexes of pyridine-2,6-dithiocarbomethylamide

The crystal structures of three copper(II) complexes of pyridine-2,6-dithiocarbomethylamide (P DT A) were determined by X-ray crystallographic methods. The structure of the bromide CuP DT ABr₂ · H₂O (2) is isomorphous to the known crystal structure of the chloride CuP DT ACl₂ · H₂O (1). The iodide CuP DT AI₂ ·D M F (3) is non-isomorphous to the other two halogenides, but shows a very similar square-pyramidal 5-coordination of the copper atom. In contrast to the halogenides, the crystal structure of the nitrate CuP DT A (H₂O)₂ · (NO₃)₂ (4) shows a square planar metal coordination by theP DT A ligand and one water molecule. If one includes the second water molecule and one oxygen atom of a nitrate ion, the metal coordination becomes distorted octahedral.

A tetranuclear complex from the employment of pyridine-2,6-dimethanol in copper(II) nitrate chemistry: Synthetic,structural and magnetic studies

The use of pyridine-2,6-dimethanol (pdmH₂) in copper(II) nitrate chemistry is reported. The reaction of Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O with one equivalent of pdmH₂ in MeCN affords the known mononuclear complex [Cu(pdmH₂)₂](NO₃)₂ (1) in high-yield. The reaction of 1 and NaOMe in an 1:1 ratio, as well as the reaction between Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O, pdmH₂ and NaOMe in an 1:1:1 ratio, in MeOH gives the tetranuclear complex [Cu₄(NO₃)₂(pdmH)₄(H₂O)(MeOH)](NO₃)₂ (2) in moderate yields. The cation of 2 possesses a slightly distorted tetrahedral Cu₄ topology with a [Cu₄(μ₂-OR)₄]⁴⁺ core. The pdmH⁻ ions behave as η¹:η¹:η²:μ₂ ligands. Strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions provide thermodynamic stability on compound 2. Variable-temperature, solid-state dc magnetic studies were carried out on complex 2 in the 2.0–300 K range. The data indicate predominant antiferromagnetic exchange interactions and a resulting S = 0 ground state, which is expected for a solely, μ₂-alkoxide-bridged system with obtuse Cu–O–Cu bond angles that magnetically behaves as a Cu₄ ring. A simplified 1 − J model was found to be adequate to describe the variable-temperature dc susceptibility data. The data were fitted to the appropriate equation derived from the Hamiltonian H = −J₁(S₁ · S₂ + S₂ · S₄ + S₃ · S₄ + S₁ · S₃), giving the parameters J₁ = −99.5 cm⁻¹ and g = 2.11(4). The combined work demonstrates the ligating flexibility of the pdmH₂ chelate and its usefulness in the synthesis of oligo- and polynuclear Cu^II_x clusters with interesting structural and magnetic properties, without requiring the co-presence of carboxylate ligands.

[Cu(pydc)(im)]_n (1), [Cu(pydc)(mim)₃]?2H₂O (2), [Cu(pydc)(ampy)(H₂O)]?H₂O (3), and [Cu(pydc)(phen)][Cu(Hpydc)₂] (4) (H₂pydc = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid or dipicolinic acid, im = imidazole, mim = 2-methylimidazole, ampy = 2-amino-4-methylpyridine, and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic measurements (UV–vis and IR spectra) and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1, 2 and 3 were studied by thermogravimetric analysis from ambient temperature to 1100 K under nitrogen and thermal stabilities were investigated. The effects of complexes on proliferation of fibrosarcoma cells were investigated using the Quick Cell Proliferation Assay. The cell viability changes depend on the concentrations and type of complexes. According to cell proliferation/viability data, 4 was determined to be the most cytotoxic.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and properties of copper(II) complexes with 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine

Three new mononuclear copper(II) complexes, [CuL(2-fca)(CH₃OH)]ClO₄?·?CH₃OH (1), [CuL(m-nba)(CH₃OH)]ClO₄ (2), and [CuL(pic)(ClO₄)]?·?CH₃OH (3), were synthesized and structurally characterized, where L is 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine, while 2-fca, m-nba, and pic are the anions of 2-furoic acid, m-nitrobenzoic acid, and picolinic acid, respectively. All of them were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, UV-Vis, and X-ray crystallography. In 1 and 2, the Cu(II) resides within a distorted square-pyramidal N₃O₂ coordination sphere with three nitrogens of L, one carboxylate oxygen, and one methanol. In 3, Cu(II) is coordinated with three nitrogens of L, one nitrogen and one oxygen of picolinate, and one oxygen of perchlorate in a distorted octahedral geometry. Two molecules of 1, 2, and 3 are interacted by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions and strong π–π stacking interactions to form a dinuclear structural unit. The dinuclear units are further connected by H-bonds via perchlorate or lattice methanol to form a 1-D chain for 1 and 2-D network structures for 2 and 3. Hydrogen-bonding and π–π stacking interactions are important for the stabilization of the final supramolecular structures of the three complexes.

The fifth coordination site is occupied by a water molecule.

Spektroskopische Eigenschaften von Bis(imidazol)kupfer(II)diacetat

Summary Electronic and vibrational spectra of bis(imidazol)copper(II)diacetate were investigated in order to obtain a wider insight into the structural properties of this interesting complex compound, which presents high cytotoxic activity. Electronic transitions were investigated by reflectance measurements of the solid and by absorption, using aqueous and methanolic solutions.

For comparative purposes, the IR spectrum of Cu(imidazol)₄I₂ was also recorded and analyzed.

     

Synthesis, structural characterization and antibacterial activity of 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(benzenesulfonohydrazide) Schiff bases and their copper(II) complexes

2,6-Diacetylpyridine bis(benzenesulfonohydrazide) Schiff bases (L¹, L² and L³) and their Cu(II) complexes of the general formula [CuL·H₂O] were synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of [CuL³·(py)]·py was investigated by single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The Cu(II) cation has near square pyramidal, penta-coordinate geometry. The binegatively charged tetradentate Schiff base is asymmetrically coordinated to the Cu(II) ion via the pyridine N atom, the azomethine N atom, the sulfonyl O atom and the deprotonated hydrazine N atom. There is a pyridine molecule apically coordinated to the Cu(II) ion. All the Schiff bases and their copper(II) complexes were screened by the disc diffusion method against multi-drug resistant (MDR) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were also determined. These results show that the antibacterial activity of the Schiff bases against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is enhanced when they are chelated with the copper(II) ion.     

Synthesis,characterization and crystal structure of a novel three-dimensional supramolecular architecture formed by manganese(II) and pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid
