Tris-Nethyl, m-tolyl)dithiocarbamato complexes of arsenic(III), antimony(III) and bismuth(III)

Tris-N(ethyl, m-tolyl) dithiocarbamato complexes of arsenic(III), antimony(III) and bismuth(III) abbreviated as As(S₂CNRR′)₃ Sb(S₂CNRR′)₃ and Bi(S₂CNRR′)₃, respectively, where R  C₂H₅ and R′  m-C₆H₄CH₃, have been synthesized. These complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, conductance measurements and infrared spectral studies. Thermal studies of these complexes have been carried out in nitrogen and air to determine their modes of decomposition. Kinetic parameters, such as apparent activation energy and order of reaction, have been determined by the graphical method of Coats and Redfern [1].     

Syntheses,structures, and magnetic properties of two 1-D dicyanamide manganese(III) complexes with Schiff-base ligands

Two new 1-D manganese(III) Schiff-base complexes bridged by dicyanamide (dca), [Mn(III)(5-Brsalen)(dca)] ? CH₃OH (1) and [Mn(III)(3,5-Brsalen)(dca)] · CH₃OH · CH₃CN (2) (5-Brsalen = N,N′-ethylenebis(5-bromo salicylaldiminato) dianion; 3,5-Brsalen = N,N′-ethylenebis(3,5-dibromosalicylal diminato) dianion), have been synthesized and characterized. X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the two complexes have 1-D chain structures constructed by μ _1,5-dca bridge. Magnetic susceptibility measurements exhibit weak antiferromagnetic exchange coupling in the complexes.     

Synthetic,spectral, thermal and antimicrobial studies of bis(N,N‐dialkyldithiocarbamato)arsenic(III) and antimony(III) complexes with diphenyldithiophos‐phate and diphenyldithiophosphinate

Bis(N,N‐dialkyldithiocarbamato)arsenic(III)/antimony(III) diphenyldithiophosphate/diphenyldi‐thiophosphinate complexes of the type [R₂NCS₂]₂MS(S)PX₂ [where M = As and Sb; NR₂ = N(CH₃)₂, N(C₂H₅)₂ and N(CH₂)₄; X = OC₆H₅ and C₆H₅] have been synthesized and characterized by physico‐chemical, spectral [UV, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P)] and thermal (TG, DTA and DSC) analysis. The TG analysis shows single‐step decomposition of the complex to Sb₂S₃. These complexes have been screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity using the disc diffusion method. All the complexes have shown good activity as antibacterial and antifungal agents, which increased on increasing the concentration. Chloroamphenicol and terbinafin were used as standards for the comparison. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cobalt(III) and chromium(III) complexes of thiosemicarbazide: the crystal structure of Λ-cis-tris(thiosemicarbazide)cobalt(III) chloride trihydrate

Summary Cobalt(III) and chromium(III) complexes of thiosemicarbazide (Htsc) were prepared and the structure of [Co(Htsc)₃]Cl₃·3H₂O was determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full matrix least squares to R = 0.035 for 2266 observed reflections. The metal has octahedral geometry with a cis arrangement of Htsc ligands. The [Co(Htsc)₃]³⁺ cations within the unit cell are strongly hydrogen bonded through H₂O molecules with the hydrogen bonding nitrogen-oxygen distances between 2.807–2.937 Å.     

Spectrophotometry Determination of Arsenic(III) and Antimony(III) by Means of Isonicotinoylhydrazones of 4-Dimethylaminobezaldehyde (4-Dbih) and 2-Hydroxynaphthaldehyde (2-Hnih)

Abstract

4-DBIH and 2-HNIH react with As(III) and Sb(III) respectively, in CH₃COOH medium to form colored complexes stable in presence of EDTA. As(III) and Sb(III) do not react with 2-HNIH and 4-DBIH respectively, and the Sb(III)-2-HNIH complex is extractable into isoamyl alcohol. These behaviours were used for the spectrophotometry determination of As (III) and Sb(III) in presence of several cations.     

Darstellung und Struktur von Antimon(III)-tris(thiophosphinaten)

Preparation and Structure of Antimony (III) Tris (thiophosphinates) The title compounds are formed by the reaction of Sb(CH₃COO)₃ with thiophosphinic acids R₂P(?S)OH (R = CH₃ cyclo-C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅). The crystal and molecular structures of Sb((cyclo-C₆H₁₁)₂POS)₃ and Sb((C₆H₅)₂POS)₃ have been determined by single crystal X-ray methods. Sb^III is pyramidally coordinated to the oxygen atoms of the R₂POS ligands through short (primary) bonds with a mean length of 203 pm. The Sb? S distances of the mainly chelating ligands vary between 300 and 320 pm (secondary bonds). The lone electron pair is stereochemically active.     

Synthetic,spectral as well as in vitro antimicrobial studies on some bismuth(III) bis(N,N‐dialkyldithiocarbamato) alkylenedithiophosphates

Mixed sulfur donor ligand complexes of the type bismuth(III) bis(N,N‐dialkyldithiocarbamato) alkylenedithiophosphate, [R₂NCS₂]₂BiS₂POGO [where R = CH₃ and C₂H₅; G = ‐CH₂‐C(C₂H₅)₂‐CH₂‐, ‐CH₂‐C(CH₃)₂‐CH₂‐, ‐CH(CH₃)‐CH(CH₃)‐ and ‐C(CH₃)₂‐C(CH₃)₂‐] were synthesized in 1:1 molar ratio of bismuth(III) bis(N,N‐dialkyldithiocarbamate) chloride and ammonium alkylenedithiophosphate in refluxing benzene and characterized by melting point, molecular weight determinations, elemental analysis (C, H, N, Bi and S) and spectral [UV, IR,NMR (¹H,¹³C and ³¹P) and powder X ray diffraction] studies; all these studies were in good agreement with the synthesized complexes. These newly synthesized derivatives are yellow and brown colored solids and are soluble in common organic solvents like benzene, chloroform, dichloromethane and DMF. Based on the physicochemical and spectral studies, a tentative structure of these newly synthesized complexes was assigned and the average particle size of the synthesized complexes determined by powder XRD, showing that nano range polycrystalline particles were formed with a monoclinic crystal system. These complexes were also screened for their antimicrobial activities using the well diffusion method. The free ligands as well as their mixed metal complexes were tested in vitro against four bacterial strains: two Gram‐positive, Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 9144) (G⁺) and Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6051), (G⁺) and two Gram‐negative, Escherichia coli (ATCC 9637) (G^?) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 25619) (G^?) to assess their antimicrobial properties. The results were indeed positive and exhibited good antibacterial effects. Chloroamphenicol used as a standard for comparison and synthesized complexes showed good antibacterial effects over chloroamphenicol. On the basis of these studies, the synthesized complexes help to understand the different structural and biological properties of main group elements with sulfur donor ligands.

Mixed Chloro Bis[Alkylenedithiophosphato] Antimony(III) and Their Heterobinuclear Derivatives with Boron Tetraisopropoxide: Synthesis and Characterization

Chloro bis(alkylenedithiophosphato)antimony(III) complexes of the type [OGOP(S)S]₂SbCl (1–5) [where G = —C(Me)₂—CH₂—CH(Me)—1 —C(Me)₂—C(Me)₂—2, —CH₂—C(Me)₂—CH₂—3, —CH(Me)—CH(Me)—4 and –CH(Me)—CH₂—CH₂—5] have been synthesized by the reaction of SbCl₃ with sodium salts of alkylenedithiophosphoric acids in a 1:2 molar ratio in refluxing benzene. Reactions of chloro bis(alkylenedithiophosphato) antimony(III) compounds, [OGOP(S)S]₂SbCl with sodium tetraisopropoxoborate, NaB(OPrⁱ)₄, in a 1:1 molar ratio in refluxing benzene yielded some new heterobinuclear derivatives of antimony(III) and boron(III) of the type[OGOP(S)S]₂Sb(μ—OPrⁱ)₂B(OPrⁱ)₂. These newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and molecular weight measurement, and their plausible structures have been proposed on the basis of IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C,³¹P,¹¹B), and FAB-mass spectral studies. On the basis of the spectroscopic evidence, a pseudo octahedral geometry around antimony and tetrahedral geometry around boron atom has been proposed. Cyclic O,O′-alkylenedithiophosphate ligands and their corresponding chloro bis(alkylenedithiophosphato)antimony(III) compounds have been screened for microbial activities. These compounds showed significant antifungal activity against Fusarium and Trichoderma and antibacterial activity against E. Coli and Pseudomonas.

[Sb(12-Crown-4)₂(CH₃CN)][SbCl₆]₃ and [Bi(12-Crown-4)₂(CH₃CN)][SbCl₆]₃, first Trications of Antimony(III) and Bismuth(III) The crown ether complexes [M(12-crown-4)₂(CH₃CN)][SbCl₆]₃ with M = Sb and Bi are formed by the reaction of antimony trichloride and bismuth trichloride, respectively, with antimony pentachloride in acetonitrile solution in the presence of 12-crown-4. They form colourless, moisture sensitive crystals, which were characterized by X-ray structure determinations and by IR spectroscopy. The complex with M = Sb was also characterized by ¹²¹Sb Mössbauer spectroscopy. Both complexes crystallize isotypically in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with four formula units per unit cell. M = Sb: 3 483 observed unique reflections, R = 0.038. M = Bi: 2 958 observed unique reflections, R = 0.036. The compounds consist of SbCl₆^? ions and trications [M(12-crown-4)₂(CH₃CN)]³⁺, in which the M³⁺ ions are ninefold coordinated by the eight oxygen atoms of the crown ether molecules and by the nitrogen atom of the acetonitrile molecule.

Preparation and configurational isomerism of ditertiary stibine sulfides, (C6H5)(CH3)(S)SbCH2Sb(CH3)(C6H5) and [(C6H5)(CH3)(S)Sb]2(CH2)3

Asymmetric ditertiary stibine sulfides (C₆H₅)(CH₃)(S)SbCH₂Sb(CH₃)(C₆H₅) and [(C₆H₅)(CH₃)(S)Sb]₂(CH₂)₃ have been prepared. It was found that they exist as only one of two possible diastereomers in the crystalline state. However, isomerization to the other form takes place in solution, resulting in an equilibrium mixture. A possibility of configurational lability of tertiary stibine sulfide was suggested for the first time.     

Electrochemical and spectroscopic characterization and catalytic activity of Co(II) complexes of tetra-chloro-R-Salen ([tClSalen= bis (3,5-di-chloro-α-R salicylidene)ethylenediamine]) and tetra-chloro-R-Salophen ([tClSalophen= bis (3,5-di-chloro-α-R salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine]), R=H,CH3, CH2-CH3

A series of 3,5-tetra-chloro-R-Salen and 3,5-tetra-chloro-R-Salophen Co(II) complexes, (where R?=?H, CH₃, and CH₂-CH₃; Salen is bis(salicylaldehyde)ethylenediimine; and Salophen is bis(salicylaldehyde) N,N′-o-phenylendiimine) have been obtained. The synthesis and characterization of the free ligands and Co(II) complexes and also catalytic activity of the complexes are reported in this article. The characterization of the complexes was performed by elemental analyses, cyclic voltammetry, UV-Vis, FT-IR and EPR spectroscopy, and by elemental analyses, UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy for the free ligands. The catalytic oxygenation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, with these complexes, leads to the formation of two products, benzoquinone and diphenoquinone. In this process the Co(II) complexes form reversible adducts with molecular oxygen.     

Tetraphenyl-and tetratolylantimony complexes with N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamate ligands: Synthesis, X-ray diffraction analysis, and 13C and 15N CP/MAS NMR studies

Crystalline tetraphenylantimony and tetratolylantimony complexes with N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamate ligands [Sb(C₆H₅)₄(S₂CNR₂)] (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, and C₃H₇ and R₂ = (CH₂)₆) were synthesized by ligand exchange reactions and studied by ¹³C and ¹⁵N CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the complex [Sb(n-CH₃-C₆H₄)₄{S₂CN(C₃H₇)₂}] exists as the single molecular form, while [Sb(C₆H₅)₄{S₂CN(CH₂)₆}] exists as two molecular conformers. The ¹³C and ¹⁵N signals were assigned to the positions of the atoms in the isomeric structures [Sb(C₆H₅)₄{S₂CN(CH₂)₆}] in terms of different degrees of double bonding in the formally single =N-C(S)S-bond.

The synthesis and characterisation of complexes of two distibinopropanes R₂Sb(CH₂)₃SbR₂ (R = Me or Ph) with a variety of metal carbonyls is described. These include cis-[M(CO)₄{R₂Sb(CH₂)₃SbR₂}] (M = Cr, Mo or W), [{Fe(CO)₄}₂{μ-R₂Sb(CH₂)₃SbR₂}], [{Ni(CO)₃}₂{μ-R₂Sb(CH₂)₃SbR₂}], [Co₂(CO)₆{Ph₂Sb(CH₂)₃SbPh₂}], [Co₂(CO)₄{Me₂Sb(CH₂)₃SbMe₂}₃][Co(CO)₄]₂ and [Mn₂(CO)₈{Ph₂Sb(CH₂)₃SbPh₂}]. The complexes have been characterised by analysis, mass spectrometry, IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy as appropriate. Comparison of the spectroscopic data on these complexes with those of other stibine complexes and with complexes of Group 16 ligands has been used to establish the relative electronic properties of the distibines.     

The relationship between transannular secondary bonding strength and conformation in diphenyldithiophosphinate stibocanes X(CH2CH2S)2SbS2PPh2 (X = O,S)

The two stibocanes 1-oxa-4,6-dithia-5-stibocane diphenyldithiophosphinate O(CH₂CH₂S)₂SbS₂PPh₂ 1 and 1,3,6-trithia-2-stibocane diphenyldithiophosphinate S(CH₂CH₂S)₂ · SbS₂PPh₂ 2 were prepared from the corresponding chloro oxa- and thia-stibocanes 3 and 6 , and the ammonium salt of diphenyldithiophosphinic acid in CH₂Cl₂. 1 and 2 were characterized by IR, EI-MS and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P{¹H}). The crystalline state of 1 features two Sb1 ? S1 intermolecular interactions [3.987(2) Å] that results in a dimer. Alongside 1 displays both an endocyclic, transannular Sb1 ? O1 interaction [2.555(6) Å] and an exocyclic Sb1 ? S4 secondary interaction [3.327(2) Å]. The coordination geometry at the antimony could be described as AX₄YE ψ-trigonal bipyramid geometry with A = Sb, X = S1, S2, S3,O1; Y = S4; S1, S2 and the lone pair lays on the equatorial plane with O1 and S4 in axial positions. The Sb1 ? S4 secondary bonding is face capping one of the planes form by the lone pair, S2 and S3 of the trigonal bipyramid. 2 also displays both an endocyclic, transannular Sb1 ? S2 interaction [2.949(3) Å] and an exocyclic Sb1 ? S5 secondary interaction [3.216(3) Å]. The antimony becomes five-coordinate, giving the AX₄YE ψ-trigonal bipyramid geometry with S1, S3 and the lone pair laying on the equatorial plane with S2 and S4 in axial positions. The Sb1 ? S5 also here is face capping the plane form by the lone pair, S3 and S4 of the trigonal bipyramid. The conformation of the eight membered ring in 2 is boat-chair. In 1 the main conformation is chair-planar. Die Konformation des Achtringes in 2 ist Wanne-Sessel. In 1 ist die Konformation des Achtringes Sessel-planar.     

Studies of the catalytic activity of Fe(III)(salen) complexes as epoxidation catalysts

Two new Fe(III)(salen) complexes, FeL¹ClO₄·2H₂O (1) and FeL²ClO₄ (2) [L¹ = N,N′-ethylenebis(3-formyl-5-methylsalicylaldimine) and L² = N,N′-cyclohexenebis(3-formyl-5-methylsalicylaldimine)], have been synthesized and characterized. The catalytic activity of the complexes for epoxidation of alkenes has been investigated in the presence of two terminal oxidants PhIO and NaOCl, with two solvents CH₃CN and CH₂Cl₂. As alkenes styrene and (E)-stilbene have been chosen for investigation; styrene is a better substrate than electron-rich (E)-stilbene. The study also suggests that unlike their Mn(III) counterparts, 1 and 2 are poor epoxidation catalysts; catalysis proceeds with formation of one intermediate, rather than forming more than one intermediate depending on the terminal oxidant used. Use of exogenous neutral donor ligands such as Py, PyNO and 1-MePy is effective to improve catalytic behavior.     

Übergangsmetall-substituierte vb elementsysteme : VIII. Darstellung und komplexchemisches verhalten von cyclopentadienyl(tricarbonyl)viametall-dimethylstibinen

Starting with the cyclopentadienyl(carbonyl)metal anions [π-C₅H₅(CO)₃M]^? (M = Cr, Mo, W) and (CH₃)₂SbBr, transition metal-substituted stibines of the form π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MSb(CH₃)₂ are obtained. The nucleophilic character of the VB element primarily determines the reactivity of these species, and shows itself in alkyl halide quarternization (a) or ligand exchange on activated metal carbonyl complexes (b). (a) yields the trialkylstibine-substituted metal cations [π-C₅H₅-(CO)₃MSb(CH₃)₂R]X (R = CH₃, CH₂CH=CH₂, CH₂C₆H₅; X = Br, J), (b) leads to the formation of the metal carbonyl derivatives LM(CO)₅, L₂M(CO)₄ (M = Cr, Mo, W), LNi(CO)₃ and LFe(CO)₄ [L = (CH₃)₂SbM(CO)₃-π-C₅H₅] which are the first (CH₃)₂Sb-bridged polynuclear complexes. Phosphorus ylides cause heterolytic cleavage of the antimonytransition metal bond. Transfer of the (CH₃)₂Sb-group to the ylidic carbanion occurs via substitution/transylidation. All new compounds have been fully characterized by means of ¹H NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERISATION OF DIORGANOANTIMONY(III) COMPLEXES OF THIOSEMICARBAZONES

Abstract

The interaction of the sodium salts of thiosemicarbazones with diphenylantimony chloride in 1:1 molar ratio in benzene solution lead to the formation of derivatives, Ph₂Sb[SC(NH₂)NN: C(R)R′] where R = H; R′ [dbnd] C₆H₅, CH₃OC₆H₄, C₆H₅CH[dbnd]CH, and R′ [dbnd] CH₃; R′[dbnd]C₆H₅, CH₃OC₆H₄, C₆H₄CH₃, respectively. The resulting complexes have been characterised on the basis of elemental analyses and molecular weight determination. The mode of bonding of the ligands with the metal atom has been proposed on the basis of I.R., ¹H and ¹³C NMR studies. All these ligands are found to behave as monofunctional bidentate moiety in these complexes.
