"Swollen" Macrocycles: Palladium(II)-Directed Template Syntheses of Pendant-Arm 14-, 16-, and 18-Membered Macrocycles

The bis(diamine)palladium(II) cations (diamine = ethane-1,2-diamine, propane-1,3-diamine, or butane-1,4-diamine) all undergo condensation reactions with formaldehyde and nitroethane to produce macromonocycles where each pair of cis-disposed primary amines has been converted to a -NH-CH(2)-C(CH(3))(NO(2))-CH(2)-NH- strap. The 14-membered-ring macrocycle has been previously prepared by condensation around copper(II) and nickel(II), but this does not permit synthesis of the larger ring macrocycles. The macrocyclic complex (6,13-dimethyl-6, 13-dinitro-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)palladium(II) perchlorate crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, a = 8.105(3) ?, b = 8.370(2) ?, c = 9.437(4) ?, alpha = 69.04(3) degrees, beta = 68.60(3), gamma = 71.53(3) degrees. Complexes of the 16- and 18-membered macrocycles (3,11-dimethyl-3,11-dinitro-1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadecane)palladium(II) perchlorate and (3,12-dimethyl-3,12-dinitro-1,5,10,14-tetraaazacyclooctadecane)palladium(II) perchlorate crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with a = 8.391(2) ?, b = 12.816(3) ?, c = 23.925(9) ?, and beta = 93.18(2) degrees, and the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, with a = 7.746(5) ?, b = 9.912(5) ?, c = 18.96(2) ?, alpha = 91.76(6) degrees, beta = 101.73(7) degrees, and gamma = 112.83(5) degrees respectively. The larger macrocycles are "swollen" by incorporating longer methylene chains, "swelling" leading to an increase in Pd-N distance and in tetrahedral distortion, with the dominant geometric isomer apparently changing with macrocycle size from anti-disposed nitro pendants (14-membered) to the syn isomer (16-, 18-membered). An irreversible Pd(II/IV) oxidation occurs at ca +1 V (vs Ag/AgCl), varying slightly with ring size, with a multi-electron nitro group reduction observed near -0.8 V in each case. Electronic spectra also vary slightly with ring size.     

Synthesis and Magnetic Studies of Copper (II)‐Manganese (II) Heterobinuclear Complexes with an Oxamido Bridge

Four new copper (II)‐manganese (II) heterobinuclear complexes bridged byN, N'‐bis[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl)]oxamido dianion (dmoxæ) and end‐capped with 1, 10‐phenanthroline (phen), 5‐methyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline (Mephen), diaminoethane (en) or 1,3‐di‐aminopropane (pn). respectively, namely, [Cu(dmoxae)MnL₂] (CIO₄)₂ (L=phen, Mephen, en, pn), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, electronic spectral studies, and molar conductivity measurements. The electronic reflectance spectrum indicates the presence of spin exchange‐coupling interaction between bridged copper(II) and manganese (II) ions. The cryomagnetic measurements (4.2‐300 K) of [Cu(dmoxae)Mn(phen)₂](CIO₄)₂ (1) and [Cu(dmoxae)Mn(Mephen)₂](CIO₄)₂(2) complexes demonstrated an antiferromagnetic interaction between the adjacent manganese(II) and copper (II) ions through the oxamido‐bridge within each molecule. On the basis of spin Hamiltonian, H= ‐ 2JS₁. S₂. the magnetic analysis was carried out for the two complexes and the spin‐coupling constant (J) was evaluated as ?35.9 cm^?1 for 1 and ‐ 32.6 cm^?1 for 2. The influence of methyl substitutions in the amine groups of the bridging ligand on magnetic interactions between the metal ions of this kind of complexes is also discussed.     

Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole

Summary Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole Ni(DTZ)X₂ (X = Cl or Br) and M(DTZ)₂X₂ (M = Ni, X = 1 or N03; M = Cu, X = Cl, Br or NO₃) have been prepared. The i.r. spectra show that in all the complexes the ligand is N,N- or N-bonded to the metal while the sulfur atom does not participate in coordination, and that the halide ions are coordinated forming terminal M-X bonds. The NO ₃ ^- group is coordinated in both the nitrato complexes. Magnetic moments of 3.07–3.29 B.M. for the nickel(II) and 1.86–1.92 B.M. for the copper(II) complexes were observed. The Ni(DTZ)X₂ complexes have a pseudo-tetrahedral [N₂X₂] coordination with N,N-bridging ligand molecules. The Ni(DTZ)₂X₂ and Cu(DTZ)₂X₂ complexes, with predominantly monodentate ligand, involve six-coordinate metal atoms with strong equatorial [N₂X₂] bonds and weaker axial bonds.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.     

Synthesis,spectral characterization,anticancer and antibacterial studies of cyclodiphosph(V)azane derivatives and their copper(II) complexes

The new cyclodiphosph(V)azane derivatives (1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-2',4'-bis(2,4-bis(dimethylaminopropylimino)cyclodiphosph(V)azane (H₂L¹) (1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-2',4'-bis(2,4-bis(dimethylaminoethylimino)cyclodiphosph(V)azane (H₂L²) and (1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-2'-(dimethylaminoethylimino)-4'-(dimethylaminopropyl-imino)cyclodiphosph(V)azane (H₂L³) containing four active coordination centers (NNNN) and their Cu(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic methods, molar conductance as well as thermal and magnetic measurements. The UV–Vis and mass spectra of the ligands and their Cu(II) complexes were also recorded. The copper(II) complexes were found to have magnetic moments of 1.58–1.69 B. M. corresponding to one unpaired electron. The possible geometries of the complexes were assigned on the basis of EPR, electronic, and infrared spectral studies. The absence of water molecules in all complexes was supported by thermal studies. All the thermal decomposition processes ended with the formation of CuO. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters have been calculated. The ligand (H₂L³) and its Cu(II) complexes were screened for their anticancer studies against human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and minimum inhibitory concentration was calculated. The screening was extended to the antibacterial activity using Kirby–Bauer single disk susceptibility test for all compounds.     

The synthesis and characterization of ( E,E )-dioxime and its transition metal complexes containing 12-membered macrocycles linked to ferrocenyl-methyl groups

13,14-bis(Hydroxyimino)-4,7-bis(ferrocenylmethyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9-octahydrobenzo[k]-4, 7-diaza-1,10-dithiacyclododecine[13,14-g]-quinoxaline (H₂L) has been prepared from (E,E)-dichloroglyoxime and 12,13-diamino-4,7-bis(ferrocenylmethyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9-octahydrobenzo[k]-4,7-diaza-1,10-dithiacyclododecine which was synthesized from 12,13-dinitro-4,7-bis(ferrocenylmethyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9-octahydrobenzo[k]4,7-diaza-1,10-dithia cyclododecine. Mononuclear nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of H₂L have a metal-ligand ratio of 1?:?2 and the ligand coordinates through two nitrogen atoms, as do most (E,E)-dioximes. The homotrinuclear [Cu(L)₂Cu₂(dipy)₂](NO₃)₂ compound coordinates to the other two copper(II) ions through deprotonated oximate oxygens and two 2,2′-dipyridyl as an end-cap ligand to yield the trinuclear structure. The ligand and its complexes have been characterized on the basis of ¹H, ¹³C NMR, IR and MS spectroscopy and elemental analyses.     

Synthesis, structural and spectral studies of Cu(II) and V(IV) complexes of a novel Schiff base derived from pyridoxal. Antimicrobial activity

A novel Schiff base, N-(4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one)pyridoxaldimine (HL·HCl), was prepared and structurally characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and IR spectral data. The synthesis and characterization of several Cu(II) (1-6) and V(IV) (7) complexes with N-(4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one)pyridoxaldimine are reported. The composition and structures of the copper(II) and vanadium(IV) complexes were proposed based on elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, electronic and EPR spectroscopy. In addition, the structures of the ligand and the complex [CuL(H₂O)₂]NO₃·2.25H₂O (1) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, showing that the Cu(II) center has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The ligand and the complexes were also tested for their in vitro antibacterial activity.     

Synthesis and structural studies of (2E,3E)-3-[(6-{[(1E,2E)-2-(hydroxyimino)-1-methylpropylidene]amino}pyridin-2-yl)imino]butan-2-one oxime, ligand and its mono-, di- and trinuclear copper(II) complexes

A new dioxime ligand, (2E,3E)-3-[(6-{[(1E,2E)-2-(hydroxyimino)-1-methylpropylidene]amino}-pyridin-2-yl)imino]butan-2-one oxime, (H₂Pymdo) (3) has been synthesized in H₂O by reacting 2,3-butenedione monoxime (2) with 2,6-diaminopyridine. Mono-, di- and tri-nuclear copper(II) complexes of the dioxime ligand (H₂Pymdo) and/or 1,10-phenanthroline have been prepared. The dioxime ligand (H₂Pymdo) and its copper(II) complexes were characterized by ¹H-n.m.r., ¹³C-n.m.r. and elemental analyses, magnetic moments, i.r. and mass spectral studies. The mononuclear copper(II) complex of H₂Pymdo was found to have a 1:1 metal:ligand ratio. Elemental analyses, stoichiometric and spectroscopic data of the metal complexes indicated that the metal ions are coordinated to the oxime and imine nitrogen atoms (C=N). In the dinuclear complexes, in which the first Cu(II) ion was complexed with nitrogen atoms of the oxime and imine groups, the second Cu(II) ion is ligated with dianionic oxygen atoms of the oxime groups and are linked to the 1,10-phenanthroline nitrogen atoms. The trinuclear copper(II) complex (6) was formed by coordination of the third Cu(II) ion with dianionic oxygen atoms of each of two molecules of the mononuclear copper(II) complexes. The data support the proposed structure of H₂Pymdo and its Cu(II) complexes.     

Spectrophotometric,potentiometric, and conductometric studies of binary complex formation between copper(II) and three forms of vitamin B6 in aqueous solutions

This article reports the detailed study concerning the mode of binding of three forms of vitamin B₆, pyridoxamine (pm), pyridoxine (pn), and pyridoxal (pl), with Cu(II) in aqueous solutions using three independent methods: potentiometry, conductometry, and UV–vis spectroscopy. The stability constants of complexes formed between copper(II) and vitamin B₆ were investigated by potentiometric titration in 0.1 M KNO₃ ionic medium at 25 °C. While drawing the relations between molar conductance and the ratio of metal to ligand concentrations, different types of lines were obtained indicating the formation of 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 stoichiometric compounds. The stability constants have been determined using EQUID and CVEQUID computer programs and the obtained results were in agreement. The relatively high values of stability constants of Cu(II)-vitamin B₆ complexes obtained from three independent methods in comparison to those with other competing cations suggest that the complexes studied are relatively stable in aqueous solutions.     

Binuclear Copper(II) Complexes in which other copper(II) complexes are coordinated as bidentate ligands

Twelve new copper(II) complexes in which N,N′-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-oxamidatocopper(II) or N,N′-bis(2-pyridylethyl)-oxamidatocopper(II) coordinates as a bidentate ligand have been isolated and characterized. These complexes have a structure bridged by the oxamide group (including two tetranuclear complexes formed by olation of two binuclear complexes, of. Fig. 1), and possess Cu? Cu interaction resulting in a sub-normal magnetic moment at room temperature. In one of them, [Cu₂(PMoxd) (bipy)₂] (NO₃)₂ (cf. Fig. 2), each copper(II) ion has a five-coordinated environment.     

Synthesis,characterization, fluorescence and redox features of new <Emphasis Type="Italic">vic</Emphasis>-dioxime ligand bearing pyrene and its metal complexes

A new vic-dioxime ligand, N,N′-bis(aminopyreneglyoxime) (LH₂), and its copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) metal complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UVVIS and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra (for the ligand). Mononuclear complexes were synthesized by a reaction of ligand (LH₂) and salts of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) in ethanol. The complexes have the metal-ligand ratio of 1: 2 and metals are coordinated by N,N′ atoms of vicinal dioximes. The ligand acts in a polydentate fashion bending through nitrogen atoms in the presence of a base, as do most vic-dioximes. Detection of a H-bonding in the Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes by IR revealed the square-planar MN₄ coordination of mononuclear complexes. Fluorescent properties of the ligand and its complexes arise from pyrene units conjugated with a vic-dioxime moiety. Fluorescence emission spectra of the ligand showed a drastic decrease in its fluorescence intensity upon metal binding. The electrochemical properties of the complexes were studied by the cyclic voltammetry technique. The nickel complex displayed an irreversible oxidation process while the copper complex exhibited a quasi-reversible oxidation and reduction processes based on the copper Cu(II)/Cu(III) and Cu(II)/Cu(I) couples, respectively.     

Complexes of copper(II) with diazabutadienes

Summary Studies on the chelate complexes of copper(II) with the bidentate ligands, 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazabutadiene (PMB) and 1,4-di(p-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazabutadiene (MPMB), have been carried out. On the basis of the elemental analysis and molar conductivity, the complexes have been characterized as [Cu(PMB)Cl₂], [Cu(PMB)₂](ClO₄)₂, [Cu(MPMB)Cl₂] and [Cu(MPMB)₂](ClO₄)₂. Both diazabutadienes are bidentate via nitrogen atoms. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and the electron paramagnetic resonance, i.r. and u.v.-vis spectra are reported. All compounds appear to be monomers.     

Spectral,physicochemical and biological characterization of 2,5,11,14,19,20-hexaaza-3,12-dimethyl-4,13-dipropyl-tricyclo [13.3.1.1(6-10)]cosane-1(19),2,4,6(20),7,9,11,13,15,17-decaene and its transition metal complexes

The synthesis of a tetradentate nitrogen donor macrocyclic ligand i.e. 2,5,11,14,19,20-hexaaza-3,12-dimethyl-4,13-dipropyl-tricyclo[13.3.1.1(6-10)]cosane-1(19),2,4,6(20),7,9,11,13,15,17-decaene and its complexes with manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) have been reported. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, ¹H-n.m.r. (Ligand), i.r., electronic, and e.p.r. spectral studies. On the basis of molar conductance the complexes may be formulated as [M(L)X₂] [where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), and X = Cl⁻ & NO ₃⁻ ] due to their nonelectrolytic nature in dimethylformamide (DMF). All the complexes are of the high spin type and are six coordinated. On the basis of i.r., electronic and e.p.r. spectral studies an octahedral geometry has been deduced for Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, and tetragonal geometry for Cu(II) complexes. The antimicrobial activities of the ligand and its complexes, as growth inhibiting agents, have been screened in vitro against several species of bacteria and plant pathogenic fungi.     

Macrocyclic Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes with new 16-membered tetradentate [N<Subscript>4</Subscript>] ligand: synthesis,characterization, 3D molecular modeling and in vitro anticancer and antimicrobial activities

New Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes of tetradentate macrocyclic nitrogen ligand i.e. (10E,13E)-11,13-dimethyl-4H-dibenzo[g,n]naphtho[1,8-bc][1,5,9,13]tetraazacyclohexa-decine 5,19(12H,20H)-dione have been synthesized. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, spectral (IR, UV–Vis, ¹H NMR, MS and ESR), 3D molecular modeling, molar conductivity, magnetic as well as thermal analysis measurements. On the basis of above studies, tetragonally distorted octahedral or square planar geometry has been proposed for the complexes. Also, the in vitro antitumor activity of the synthesized ligand and most complexes against human breast and human hepatocarcinoma cell lines (MCF-7 and HepG2, respectively) has been studied. Furthermore, the current compounds have been screened for their possible antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus as Gram-positive bacteria, Escherichia coli as Gram-negative bacteria Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans as antifungal agents.

Macrocyclic ligands with potential axial interactions. The preparation of copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(III) complexes of 7,14-o-hydroxyphenyl-5,12-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene

Summary The new macrocyclic ligand 7,14-o-hydroxyphenyl-5,12-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene (1=L) has been prepared and complexes with copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(III) characterised. The nickel(II) complex is a yellow square-planar species, while the purple-red copper(II) complex is probably tetragonal in both the solid state and solution. The complexes appear to have an N-meso arrangement of the chiral nitrogen centres with the HOC₆H₄ groups occupying equatorial sites so that axial interactions with the metal do not occur. A variety oftrans-[CoLX₂]ClO₄ complexes (X=Cl, Br, NO₂, or N₃) have been characterised.     

Synthesis,structural, spectroscopic,biological and catalytic activity of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of benzilic hydrazide (BH)

Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) chloro complexes of benzilic hydrazide (BH) have been synthesized. Also, reaction of the ligand (BH) with several copper(II) salts, including NO₃ ^?, AcO^?, and SO₄ ^? afforded metal complexes of the general formula [CuLX(H₂O) _n ]·nH₂O, where X is the anion and n = 0, 1 or 2. The newly synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectra, molar conductance, UV–vis, IR spectra, magnetic moment, and thermal analysis (TG/DTG). The physico-chemical studies support that the ligand acts as monobasic bidentate towards metal ion through the carbonyl and hydroxyl oxygen atoms. The spectral data revealed that the geometrical structure of the complexes is square planar for Cu (II) complexes and tetrahedral for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes. Structural parameters of the ligand and its complexes have been calculated. The ligand and its metal complexes are screened for their antimicrobial activity. The catalytic activities of the metal chelates have been studied towards the oxidative decolorization of AB25, IC and AB92 dyes using H₂O₂. The catalytic activity is strongly dependent on the type of the metal ion and the anion of Cu(II) complexes.     

Syntheses and characterization of new tetraazamacrocyclic copper(II) complexes as a dual functional mimic enzyme (catalase and superoxide dismutase)

A series of macrocyclic complexes, [Cu(TAAP)]X₂, X?=?ClO₄ and CH₃COO; [Cu(TAAP)X]X, X?=?NO₃, Cl, and Br, have been synthesized by self-condensation of 5-amino-3-methyl-l-phenylpyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (AMPC) in the presence of copper(II). Elemental analyses and conductivity measurements confirm the stoichiometry of the ligand and complexes, while the characteristic absorption bands in IR spectra confirmed the formation of ligand framework around copper. Square-pyramidal and square-planar stereochemistries have been proposed for the five-coordinate (nitrato and halogeno) and four-coordinate (perchlorate and acetate) complexes. The electrochemical properties and thermal behaviors have been studied by cyclic voltammetry and TGA. Mimetics of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase demonstrated that there is a correlation between the observed redox properties and the SOD and catalase biomimetic catalytic activities of the copper(II) complexes.     

Metal chelates of salicyl-4-aminoantipyrine

The formation constants of salicyl-4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazoline-5-one (SAAP) complexes with 3d transition metal ions [Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II)] have been determined in 60% ethanol-water medium ofμ = 0.1M (NaCl) at 25°C. It is observed that the formation constants for chelates with 3d transition metals follow the order Mn(II) < Co(II) < Ni(II) < Zn(II) < Cu(II). The effects of metal ions, ionic radii, electronegativities and ionization potentials on chelate formation constants are discussed. Complexes of UO₂(II) and Pd(II) have been synthesized and characterised by elemental analysis, electrolytic conductance, IR spectra and magnetic measurements. The ligand forms the complexes PdLCl and UO₂L₂,2H₂O, where L is a uninegatively charged tridentate ligand (ONO donor sets).     

Binary and ternary complexes of copper(II) with some dihydroxycoumarins

The complexation behaviour of copper(II) with a series of selected dihydroxycoumarins has been studied. Copper(II) binary complexes with esculetin, daphnetin and their 4-methyl and 4-phenyl derivatives and ternary complexes having a secondary ligand, ammonia or pyridine have bean synthesized. The general composition of binary complexes has bean found to be [Cu (H₂O)₂ (HL)₂] and that of ternary complexes as [Cu (L) (X)₄] (where X = NH₃ or C₅H₅N). The magnetic studies indicate all the complexes to be monomeric in nature. IR studies show that one of the two phenolic hydroxyl groups present in the ligand is lost during complexation. It is concluded that of the four ligands attached to the copper atom dihydroxycoumarin is bound most firmly.     

Transition metal complexes of the schiff base derivatives of the ligand 1,8-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethyl-2-acetylnaphthalene

New Schiff bases derived from 2-acetyl-1,8-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylnaphthalene(H₂addn) and 1,2-propanediamine(pn), 2,3-butanediamine(pn) and 1,2-cyclohexyldiamine(chn) have been prepared and characterized as (H₄addn-diam). In this work is reported an improved experimental method which yields well characterized mononuclear species of H₄addn-en and H₄addn-pn with Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II). The Cu(II) complex has been studied by esr which unambigously shows a N₂O₂ coordination mode for the metal ion. Based on the spectral characteristics of these complexes we conclude that all metal atoms have the same coordination mode. Only one binulear complex, [NiUO₂(addn-en)] is reported in this work. All attempts to synthesize binuclear complexes with first transition series metal ions were unsuccessful.
