Syntheses,Crystal Structures and DNA-binding Properties of Zn(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) and Co(Ⅱ) Compounds Containing Thiazole Derivatives

Zn(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) and Co(Ⅱ) compounds(1～3) based on 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole(bpt) and terephthalic acid(PTA) were synthesized. The crystal structures of [Zn(bpt)(PTA)2](1), [Ni(bpt)(PTA)2](2), and [Co(bpt)(PTA)2](3) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which shows that all the three complexes belong to monoclinic system with space group P21/c. Time-dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT) calculation is performed on a reference structure of compound 3. The excited electrons mainly localized at the π* of ligand 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole, which will be convenient for them to bind with the DNA reacting sites. Fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet(UV) spectroscopy and viscosity were used to characterize the interaction of the compounds with Calf thymus DNA(CT-DNA). The results indicate that compounds 1～3 bind to CT-DNA and have a strong interaction with DNA. The compounds can probably bind to CT-DNA via a non-intercalative mode as concluded by studying the viscosity of a DNA solution in the presence of the compounds. This combination can effectively break DNA, which speculates that these three compounds may interact with the cancer cell DNA in this binding mode, thereby damaging the cancer cells.     

OXO CENTERED HETEROTRINUCLEAR TRANSITION METAL CAR- BOXYLATE COMPLEXES 5,~(57)Fe MOSSBAUER SPECTRA AND ELEC-TRON TRANSFER PROPERTIES OF COMPLEXES Fe_2MO(RCOO)_6L_3(M= Mn,Co,Ni)

<正> The 57Fe Mossbauer spectra of mixed-valence heterotrinuclear carboxylate complexes, [Fe2MO(OOCCH3)6Py3]. Py (M = Mn,Co,Ni,Py = Pyridine) and Fe2MO-(OOCCC13 )6THF3 (M = Mn, Co, Ni, THF = Tetrahydrofuran ) indicated that these Fe2M complexes are all valence-trapped on the 57Fe Mossbauer time scale (10-8s) both at 77 K and at room temperature. Expanding the PKS model to asymmetric tricenteral systems showed that intramolecular electron transfer in Fe2M complexes is difficult due to asymmetry of the Fe2MO(RCOO)6L3molecule and high potential-energy barrier.     

Crystal Structures,Characterizations and Fluorescence Properties of Two 3D Ca(Ⅱ)/Sr(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers Based on 2-Sulfoterephthalate

Two alkaline earth metal coordination polymers[M(2-Hstp)(H_2O)](M=Ca~(2+)(1)and Sr~(2+)(2),2-H_3stp=2-sulfoterephthalate)were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions by the precursor[Mn(2-Hstp)_2(4,4?-Hbpy)_2]and alkaline earth metal salts.The two alkaline earth complexes are not isomorphic.Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2_1/m,while2 in the monoclinic space group P2_1/c,despite of their similar formulas.In 1,the Ca~(2+)ion lies in a seven-coordinated pentagon bipyramidal configuration,coordinated with five 2-Hstp~(2-)anions and one water molecule.However,the Sr~(2+)ion in 2 is coordinated by nine oxygen atoms to form a single-capped square antiprism polyhedron.Both 1 and 2 exhibitπ-π*emission of the 2-sulfoterephthalate ligand.

Complex 1 crystallizes in orthorhombic, space group Pna21 with a = 19.259(2), b = 9.85070(12), c = 16.3827(17) ?, V = 3108.0(5) ?3, C29H23F3N2O3 PSAg, Mr = 675.39, Z = 4, Dc = 1.443 g/cm3, F(000) = 1360, μ = 0.816 mm-1, the final R = 0.0675 and w R = 0.1722 for 3662 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). Complex 2 crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 12.9370(11), b = 13.5261(13), c = 16.4539(15) ?, α = 106.7120(10), β = 97.3830(10), γ = 113.027(2)?, V = 2441.2(4)?3, C94H96F6N4O6P6S2Ag2, Mr = 1957.43, Z = 1, Dc = 1.331 g/cm3, F(000) = 1006, μ = 0.605 mm-1, the final R = 0.0717 and w R = 0.1795 for 5128 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). Complex 1 is of zigzag chain structure, in which each Ag atom is coordinated by one OTf- anion, two N atoms from two 4,4'-bipy molecules and one P atom from PPh3 ligand. In 2, the central Ag atom is coordinated with one OTf- anion and three P atoms from three dppb ligands, which leads to the formation of a zigzag ring-bridge-ring chain with each ring consisting of two Ag atoms and two dppb ligands.     

Two Carboxylato-bridged Binuclear Cobalt(Ⅱ) Complexes Pillared Coligands: Synthesis,Structures and Magnetic Properties

By adopting mixed-ligand strategy, two Co(Ⅱ) coordination polymers, [Co(phda)(itmb)(H_2O)_2]_n(1) and [Co(phda)(Hpytz)]_n(2)(H_2phda = 1,2-phenylenediacetate, itmb = 1-(imidazo-1-ly)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl methyl) benzene and Hpytz = 3,5-di(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazolate), were hydrothermally synthesized and then characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that two complexes feature carboxylato-bridged binuclear subunits extended further by the nitrogen-rich coligands to form different structures. Complex 1 containing phda-bridged binuclear cobalt is developed by itmb coligand to 1D double-stranded chain, whereas complex 2 exhibits 2D open bilayers, which result from the ribbon-like carboxylate chains pillared Hpytz coligands. In addition, the magnetic susceptibilities of both compounds were measured over the temperature range of 3～300 K, and the data were analyzed well using Mag Saki software. The best fitting parameters were κ = 0.98, λ =-100 cm~(-1), ? = 588 cm~(-1) and J = 0.6 cm~(-1) for complex 1 and κ = 0.86, λ =-110 cm~(-1), ? = 756.8 cm~(-1) and J =-1.25 cm~(-1) for complex 2. The results indicate the existence of weaker ferromagnetic interaction for complex 1 and antiferromagnetic interaction for complex 2 between the metal centers in the dinuclear metal units.     

Cyanido-bridged one-dimensional systems assembled from [ReⅣCl4（CN）2]2- and [MⅡ（cyclam）]2+ （M=Ni,Cu） precursors

Three new cyanido-bridged heterometallic ReIVNiII and ReIVCuII one-dimensional systems were synthesized and extensively characterized both structurally and magnetically. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that these compounds display a common topology, with chains composed of alternating [ReⅣCl4(CN)2]2- and [MⅡ(cyclam)]2+ (M = Ni in 1, Cu in 2) or [CuⅡ(N,N′-dimethylcyclam)]2+ (in 3) building units. Two different chain orientations with a tilt angle of ca. 51° to 55° are present in the crystal packing of these compounds. The magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest the presence of intrachain ferromagnetic interactions between the S = 3/2 ReIV centers and the 3d metal ions: S = 1 NiII or S = 1/2 CuII. At low temperature, a three-dimensional ordered magnetic phase induced by interchain antiferromagnetic interactions (antiferromagnetic for 1 and 2; canted antiferromagnetic for 3) is detected for the three compounds.

It was found that four O atoms in two biphenol ligands as well...     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures and DNA-binding Properties of Cd(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ) Complexes Containing Imidazolium Derivatives

Cd(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ) complexes(1~4) based on 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole(pbm) and 4,4'-oxybisbenzoic acid(H2odc) were synthesized. The formulas of these complexes are [Cd(pbm)(odc)2](1), [Co(pbm)(odc)2](2), [Cu(pbm)(odc)2](3) and [Zn(pbm)(odc)2](4) confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which shows that complexes 1, 2 and 4 belong to monoclinic system with space group P21/n, while complex 3 belongs to monoclinic system with space group P21/c. The binding properties of complexes 1~4 with CT-DNA are evaluated by ultraviolet spectrum, fluorescence spectra and viscosity measurements. The results indicate that complexes 1~4 have strong interaction with CT-DNA binding. These complexes exhibit an electrostatic or groove mode in respect of binding with DNA, which can effectively destroy DNA. And this binding mode may be applied to the interaction between the complexes and cancer cell DNA. Therefore, we hope to provide a theoretical and scientific basis for the research of anti-cancer drugs.

Construction and Photoluminescence Properties of Zn(Ⅱ)/Cd(Ⅱ) Complexes with 4-Amino-3,5-propyl-1,2,4-triazole Ligand

Reaction of ZnCl2 and 4-amino-3,5-propyl-1,2,4-triazole(dpatrz) or CdCl2, NaN3 and dpatrz, in aqueous solution at room temperature yields two neutral clusters: a dinuclear complex [Zn2(dpatrz)2Cl4](I) and a linear trinuclear complex, [Cd3(dpatrz)4(N3)2Cl4](Ⅱ). Both complexes have been characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, powder XRD, IR, elemental analysis, TG and fluorescence analysis. Complex I crystallizes in orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a = 11.865(2), b = 14.464(3), c = 15.985(3) , V = 2743.4(9) 3, Z = 4, C16H32N8Cl4Zn2, Mr = 609.4, Dc = 1.475 g·cm3, μ = 2.16 mm-1, F(000) = 1248, GOOF = 1.091, the final R = 0.0295 and wR = 0.0665 for 1999 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)).

The analysis of X-ray revealed that both structures lie about the inversion centers: complex I adopts two μ1,2-triazole bridges linking two Zn(Ⅱ) ions and Ⅱ forms a linear trinuclear structure with four μ1,2-triazoles and two μ1,1-N3- bridging modes. There are different coordinated geometries for three Cd(Ⅱ) ions in Ⅱ: one is coordinated with an octahedral environment, and the other two are distorted tetragonal pyramids(τ = 0.34). The hydrogen bonds of C–H···Cl and N–H···Cl lead to the discretes into a 3D supramolecular network in both compounds. The thermal stabilities and photoluminescence behaviors of them were also studied.

Syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of a family of one-dimensional M(Ⅱ)-lanthanide(Ⅲ) (M =Ni(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ)) coordination polymers

A series of 1D nickel(Ⅱ)/zinc(Ⅱ)-lanthanide(Ⅲ) coordination polymers, [M(μ-L)2Ln(NO3)3]n· solvents (HL =bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amine; M = Ni, Ln = Gd (1 · NiGd), Tb (2· NiTb), Dy (3· NiDy), Ho (4· NiHo), Y (5· NiY);M = Zn, Ln =Gd (6· ZnGd), Tb (7· ZnTb), Dy (8· ZnDy), Ho (9· ZnHo); solvents = H2O or H2O-ethanol), was synthesized and characterized. All of the complexes are isostructural at 293 K and crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Fddd. Magnetic measurements were performed on 1-9, where weak ferromagnetic interaction is found in 1 · NiGd, ferromagnetic interaction in 2·NiTb and 3·NiDy, and antiferromagnetic interaction in 4· NiHo. A remarkable dc magnetic field dependence of ac susceptibilities was found in this series of complexes.     

Theoretical studies on the complexation of Eu(Ⅲ) and Am(Ⅲ) with HDEHP: structure,bonding nature and stability

Separation of trivalent lanthanides(Ln(Ⅲ)) and actinides(An(Ⅲ)) is a key issue in the advanced spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. In the well-known trivalent actinide lanthanide separation by phosphorus reagent extraction from aqueous komplexes(TALSPEAK) process, the organophosphorus ligand HDEHP(di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid) has been used as an efficient reagent for the partitioning of Ln(Ⅲ) from An(Ⅲ) with the combination of a holdback reagent in aqueous lactate buffer solution. In this work, the structural and electronic properties of Eu~(3+) and Am~(3+) complexes with HDEHP in nitric acid solution have been systematically explored by using scalar-relativistic density functional theory(DFT). It was found that HDEHP can coordinate with M(Ⅲ)(M=Eu, Am) cations in the form of hydrogen-bonded dimers HL_2~-(L=DEHP), and the metal ions prefer to coordinate with the phosphoryl oxygen atom of the ligand. For all the extraction complexes, the metal-ligand bonds are mainly ionic in nature. Although Eu(Ⅲ) complexes have higher interaction energies, the HL_2~- dimer shows comparable affinity for Eu(Ⅲ) and Am(Ⅲ) according to thermodynamic analysis, which may be attributed to the higher stabilities of Eu(Ⅲ) nonahydrate. It is expected that this work could provide insightful information on the complexation of An(Ⅲ) and Ln(Ⅲ) with HDEHP at the molecular level.

The intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the complexes, complexes and lattice water molecules lead to a 2D supramolecular network. The bioactivity of the complex as a potential PTPs inhibitory agent in vitro was investigated, displaying potent inhibition against PTP1B(IC50, 0.27 μM) and TCPTP(IC50, 0.57 μM) with a moderate selectivity.     

Schiff 碱双核配合物的磁性及催化性能的研究

This paper reports the catalytic properties of “porphyrin-like” Schiff base mononuclear complexes MH₂L {M=Mn(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ)Cl, Cr(Ⅲ)Cl, Cu(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ); L=bis[N, N′-ethylene-2, 2′-(phenylmethylene)bis(3,4-dimethylpyrrole-5-aldimino)]} and dinuclear complexes MnML [M=Mn(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ)Cl, Cr(Ⅲ)Cl, Cu(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ)] for cyclohexane monooxygenation with PhIO and magnetic properties of the dinuclear complexes. The magnetic investigations (4～300 K) of the dinuclear complexes revealed that their antiferromagnetic spin exchange with J ranged from -10.49 to -0.482 cm^-1 except MnZnL and antiferromagnetic spin exchange decreased in the following order: Mn^Ⅱ-Cu^Ⅱ > Mn^Ⅱ-Ni^Ⅱ > Mn^Ⅱ-Mn^Ⅱ > Mn^Ⅱ-Fe^Ⅲ > Mn^Ⅱ-Co^Ⅱ > Mn^Ⅱ-Cr^Ⅲ. The results of catalyzed oxidation of cyclohexane indicated that the catalytic property of the dinuclear complex was better than that of the corresponding mononuclear complex. It was found that there was the synergism decreased in the order: Mn-Fe > Mn-Cr > Mn-Cu > Mn-Mn > Mn-Co> Mn-Ni > Mn-Zn. It seems that this synergism increases with the increase of the number of unpaired d electrons and the magnetic exchange between the two metals in these dinuclear complexes.     

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE INVESTIGATION OF VANADYL COMPLEXES OF TRIDENTATE LIGAND (Ⅰ)——THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF BIS[(1-(2,4-PENTANE- DIONATO(NITROBENZOYL) HYDRAZONE)-2- ETHOXY)OXOVANADIUM] AND BIS-[(1-(2, 4-PENTANEDIONATO-(3-NITROBENZOYL) HYDRAZONE)-2- METHO

The title complexes were obtained by the reactions of bis(2,4-pentanedionato)oxovanadium VO(Acac)_2 and m-nitrophenylhydrazide m-NO_2PhCONHNH_2 in the media EtOH and MeOH respectively. The compound (Ⅰ) crystallizes in the space group PT with unit cell dimensions a=8.123(2), b=10.409(5), c=10.822(4), α=65.78(3)°, β=85.50(3)°,γ=89.04(3)°. The compound (Ⅱ) crystallizes in the space group P2_1/a with unit cell dimensions a=7.745(2), b=19.164(5), c=10.787(4), β=107.87(2)°. The resuhs of structural analyses show that the two compounds have the same characteristics: the tridentate ligand formed by condensation occupies three of the four equatorial positions of vanadium and the rest equatorial position is occupied by alkoxy group RO~-. As RO~-group also bridges the sixth coordinated position of each vanadium atom, it brings about the formation of the new type binuclear complexes of vanadium.
