These complexes incorporate different exogenous ions (X-) into a bridging position to form copper(Ⅱ) binuclear complexes of the formula [Cu2(H2L)X]2+, where X-= Br-(1), Cl-(2), HO-(3), C2H5O-(4) and C3H3N2- (5). The complexes have been characterized with variable temperature magnetic susceptibility (4.2-300 K) and the observed data were fit to those from a modified Bleaney-Bowers equation by least-squares method, giving the exchange integral 2J = -6.2 cm-1 for 1, -76.4 cm-1 for 2, -241.9 cm-1 for 3, -231.1 cm-1 for 4 and -343.8 cm-1 for 5. This suggested that there is an antiferromagnetic interaction between the Cu(Ⅱ) ions and the sequence of the effect of some exogenous bridging ligands on magnetic coupling is corresponding to that in spectrochemical series.

The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities of [Gd2( IPHTA) (Mez-phen)4 (ClO4)2] (ClO4)2 complex were measured in the temperature range of 4-300 K and the observed data were successfully simulated by the equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, H = - 2JS1 · S2, giving the exchange parameter J =- 0.19 cm-1 . This result is commensurate with a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between Gd(Ⅲ)-Gd(Ⅲ) ions within the complex.

A distorted octahedral environment was proposed for the vanadium(IV) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes. The spectroscopic results were utilized to compute the important ligand field parameters. Three adduct complexes were isolated owing to the interaction of one oxovanadium complex with Lewis-bases in MeOH. Vanadium(IV) complexes exhibit promising catalytic activity towards the aerobic oxidation of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) to the corresponding semi-oxidized form (PPD⁺). A linear correlation exists between the oxidase catalytic activity and the Lewis acidity of the central vanadium(IV) ion created by the donating properties of the parent ligand.

Three new -oxalato-bridged heterotrinuclear copper(II)–iron(III)–copper(II) complexes have been synthesized and identified: [Cu₂Fe(ox)₃L₂]ClO₄ [L = 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂phen); 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me₂phen) or 2,2-bipyridine (bpy), respectively]; ox = the oxalato dianions. Based on elemental analyses, molar conductivity and magnetic moment (at room-temperature) measurements, i.r. and electronic spectral studies, extended ox-bridged structures consisting of two copper(II) and an iron(III) ions, in which the central iron(III) ion has an octahedral environment and the end-capped two copper(II) ions a square-planar environment, are proposed for these complexes.

Synthesis, characterization, and biological properties of N-phenolato-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)oxamide and its binuclear copper(II) complexes

A new asymmetric N,N′-bis(substituent)oxamide ligand, N-phenolato-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)oxamide (H₃pdmapo), and two of its binuclear Cu(II) complexes with different terminal ligands, namely [Cu₂(pdmapo)(phen)(H₂O)](ClO₄) (1) and [Cu₂(pdmapo)(bpy)(CH₃OH)](ClO₄) (2), where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of both complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both structures contain binuclear Cu(II) cationic complexes with pdmapo^3? ligands. The asymmetric pdmapo^3? ligands bridge two Cu(II) atoms in the cis conformation and the Cu···Cu separations through the oxamide bridge are 5.2046(18) and 5.207(2) Å for complexes 1 and 2, respectively. The coordination environments of the two Cu(II) atoms in each binuclear complex are different. The copper occupying the inner site of the pdmapo^3? ligand is four-coordinated in a CuN₃O distorted square-planar environment, while the other is five-coordinated in a square pyramid geometry. In complex 1, O–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bonds link the complex into a one-dimensional chain. In complex 2, O–H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form a dimer, together with two types of strong π–π interactions, giving a two-dimensional network structure. The cytotoxicities and DNA-binding properties of H₃pdmapo and the two complexes were studied. The experimental evidence suggests that the ligand binds to DNA via a groove binding mode, while the binuclear complexes bind intercalatively to DNA.

The crystal structure of 1 consists of centrosymmetric neutral dimers where the copper atoms lie in a strongly elongated octahedral environment, surrounded by two nitrogen atoms of a bipy molecule and two oxygen atoms of the bridging oxalato group in the equatorial plane and oxygen atoms of water molecules and nitrate ions in the axial positions. Crystal structure of 2 is made up of non-coordinated nitrate anions and asymmetric binuclear cations in which copper atoms are in a distorted square–pyramidal coordination with three atoms of a diethylenetriamine ligand and an oxygen atom of the asymmetrically coordinated oxalato bridge building the basal plane and the other oxygen atom of the oxalato ligand filling the apical position. Both compounds have been also characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopies, thermal analysis and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. The two compounds exhibit antiferromagnetic exchange with a singlet–triplet separation of −382 and −6.5 cm⁻¹ for 1 and 2, respectively.
