Physicochemical Studies and Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) Complexes of Citronellal Anthranilic Acid

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of two new Schiff-bases, citronellal anthranilic acid and citronellal-5-bromoanthranilic acid have been synthesized. On the basis of spectral, magnetic and thermal data, octahedral structure was assigned to all complexes [ML₂(H₂O)₂]. Thermal decomposition of these complexes was studied by TG. Kinetic parameters, viz activation energy, E, pre-exponential factor, A, and order of reaction, n, were calculated from the TG curves using mechanistic and non-mechanistic integral equations. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Physicochemical Investigation on the Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with Aminocyclodiphosph(V)azane Derivative

Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) form 2:1 complexes with aminocyclodiphosph(V)azane derivative. The complexes have been investigated in solution by the spectrophometric molar ratio and conductometeric methods. The ligand and its complexes have been isolated in solid state and characterized on the basis of microanalytical, infrared, electronic, magnetic moment, 1 H NMR and mass spectral data. The cobalt and nickel complexes were assigned to be in tetrahedral structure while the copper complex is assigned to be in square planar.     

Studies on Binuclear Co(II) and Cu(II) Complexes of Tridentate N-(2-Carboxyphenyl)Salicylideneimine

Homo Cu(II) and Co(II) binuclear complexes H[MLClMCl₂] formed by using the donor properties of the cis two oxygen atoms of the tridentate N-(2-carboxyphenyl)-salicylaldimine Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and anthranilic acid have been synthesized. It was found that the Cu(II) “complexed ligand” readily reacts with CoCl₂ to form mononuclear Co(II) and binuclear oxygen bridged Co(II) complex [Co₂-L₂](H₂O)₂. The structure of the so prepared complexes was investigated using microchemical analysis, molar conductance measurements as well as electronic and vibrational spectral studies. It was concluded that in the Cu(II) binuclear complex, the Cu(II) ion inside the “complexed ligand” has a planar structure while the other Cu(II) ion is distorted away from planarity. In the Co(II) binuclear complex, the Co atom of the “complexed ligand” is distorted from tetrahedral structure when it coordinates to the second Co atom.     

Spectrophotometric Studies on Ferron and Thorium (IV)-Ferron Chelate

The ionization constants of ferron (7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid) and the interaction between Th(IV) and ferron have been studied spectrophotometrically at 25° and ionic strength of 0.1. The ionization constants were found to be pK₁=2.41±0.01, pK₂=7.10±0.01. The Th(IV)-ferron chelate in aqueous solution of pH 5.0 exhibited a characteristic absorption maximum at 365 mμ. The composition of Th(IV)-ferron chelate was 1:4 mole ratio of Th(IV) ion and ferron, and the stability constant (log K_g) was 26.22±0.16.

Synthesis and Physicochemical Properties of the Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) with Chrysin

New solid complex compounds of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) with chrysin were obtained. Their composition and some physicochemical properties were studied (thermogravimetric analysis, ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectroscopy, magnetic properties). During heating, the hydrated complexesM(C₁₅H₉O₄)₂·nH₂O lose some crystallization water molecules in one or two steps, and then decompose to the oxides. A structure for the compounds was proposed.

The ligand acts in a tetrahedral manner forming 2:1 metal to ligand ratio. The copper complex is assigned to be tetrahedral while cobalt and nickel complexes were assigned to be octahedral structure.     

Studies of Electrode Reactions and Coordination Geometries of Cu(I) and Cu(II) Complexes with Bicinchoninic Acid

Bicinchoninic acid (BCA) is widely used for determining the valence state of copper in biological systems and quantification of the total protein concentration (BCA assay). Despite its well‐known high selectivity of Cu(I) over Cu(II), the exact formation constants for Cu(I)(BCA)₂³⁻ and Cu(II)(BCA)₂²⁻ complexes remain uncertain. These uncertainties, affect the correct interpretations of the roles of copper in biological processes and the BCA assay data. By studying the voltammetric behaviors of Cu(I)(BCA)₂³⁻ and Cu(II)(BCA)₂²⁻, we demonstrate that the apparent lack of redox reaction reversibility is caused by an adsorption wave of Cu(II)(BCA)₂²⁻. With the adsorption wave identified, we found that the Cu(I)/Cu(II) selectivity of BCA is essentially identical to another popular ligand, bathocuproinedisulfonic acid (BCS). Density functional theory calculation on the geometries of Cu(I)(BCA)₂³⁻ and Cu(II)(BCA)₂²⁻ rationalizes the preferential Cu(I) binding by BCA and the strong adsorption of the Cu(II)(BCA)₂²⁻ complex at the glassy carbon electrode. Based on the shift in the standard reduction potential of free Cu(II)/Cu(I) upon binding to BCA, we affirm that the formation constants for Cu(I)(BCA)₂³⁻ and Cu(II)(BCA)₂²⁻ are 10^17.2 and 10^8.9, respectively. Therefore, BCA can be chosen among various ligands for effective and reliable studies of the copper binding affinities of different biomolecules.     

Magnetic and Spectroscopic Studies on the Complexes of 9-Oxo-10-Acridinemetanophosphonic Ion with Cu (II) Co (II)and Ni (II)

Abstract

Three complexes of 9-oxo-10-acridinemetanophosphonlc ion (PMA⁼ see figure) have been synthesised. The meta1:ligand ratio in the complexes is equal 1:1 and their formulas are (CUPMA) ₂,×5H₂O,NiPMA×4H₂O and CoPMA×4H₂O. The structure of the complexes has been investigated by the IR,FIR, Raman spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy, magnetic measurements and EPR spectroscopy. The physical properties of the complexes obtained are characteristic for inorganic polymers. The lowering of the ν(P-Q) stretching frequency by about cm^?, in the spectra of the complexes as compared to that of the free ligand suggests that the phosphonlc group takes part in coordination. Data from the EPR spectrum indicate that Cu(II)may form the dimeric, water bridged or even more complicated polymeric structures.     

Antitumor Activity and Physicochemical Properties of New Thiosemicarbazide Derivative and Its Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) Complexes

The physicochemical characterization of the newly obtained compounds has been performed using appropriate analytical techniques, such as ¹H and ^l3C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and magnetic measurements. In order to study the pharmacokinetic profile of the compounds, ADMET analysis was performed. The in vitro studies revealed that the synthesized compounds exhibit potent biological activity against A549 human cancer cell line.

The molecular and crystal structures were determined for [CoL₂(EtOH)₂] (1), [NiL₂(EtOH)₂] (2), and [CuL₂(py)₂] (3). In all cases the deprotonated lapachol behaves as chelating bidentate ligand. The complexes were also characterized by elemental analyses, cyclic voltammetry, and FAB-MS.

Synthesis and Structural Studies on Homo-and Heterobinuclear Complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) with Arylideneanthranilic Acid Schiff Bases

Homo and heterobinuclear complexes of arylidene- anthranilic acids with Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) are prepared and characterised by chemical analysis, spectral and X-ray diffraction techniques as well as conductivity measurements. Two types of homo-binuclear complexes are formed. The first has the formula M₂L₂Cl₂(H₂O)_n where M=Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II), L = p-hydroxybenzylideneanthranilic acid (hba), p-dimethylaminobenzylideneanthranilic acid (daba) and p-nitrobenzylideneanthranilic acid(nba) and n = 0–3. The second type has the formula M₂LCl₃(H₂O)_n in which M is the same as in the first type, L = benzylideneanthranilic acid (ba), (daba) (in cases of Cu(II) and Ni(II)); and n = 1–5. Heterobinuclear complexes having the formula (MLCl₂H₂O) MCl₂(H₂O)_n are isolated by reaction of Cu(II) binary chelates with Ni(II) and/or Co(II) chlorides. These are also characterized and their structures are elucidated.     

Magnetic Relaxation Studies on Trigonal Bipyramidal Cobalt(II) Complexes

We report the preparation and the full characterization of a novel mononuclear trigonal bipyramidal Co^II complex [Co(NS₃^iPr)Br](BPh₄) ( 1 ) with the tetradentate sulfur‐containing ligand NS₃^iPr (N(CH₂CH₂SCH(CH₃)₂)₃). The comparison of its magnetic behaviour with those of two previously reported compounds [Co(NS₃^iPr)Cl](BPh₄) ( 2 ) and [Co(NS₃^tBu)Br](ClO₄) ( 3 ) (NS₃^tBu=N(CH₂CH₂SC(CH₃)₃)₃) with similar structures shows that 1 displays a single‐molecule magnet behaviour with the longest magnetic relaxation time (0.051 s) at T=1.8 K, which is almost thirty times larger than that of 3 (0.0019 s) and more than three times larger than that of 2 (0.015 s), though its effective energy barrier (26 cm^?1) is smaller. Compound 1 , which contains two crystallographically independent molecules, presents smaller rhombic parameters (E=1.45 and 0.59 cm^?1) than 2 (E=2.05 and 1.02 cm^?1) and 3 (E=2.00 and 0.80 cm^?1) obtained from theoretical calculations. Compounds 2 and 3 have almost the same axial (D) and rhombic (E) parameter values, but present a large difference of their effective energy barrier and magnetic relaxation which may be attributed to the larger volume of BPh₄^? than ClO₄^? leading to larger diamagnetic dilution (weaker magnetic dipolar interaction) for 2 than for 3 . The combination of these factors leads to a much slower magnetic relaxation for 1 than for the two other compounds.

Two-Dimensional (1)H NMR Studies on Octahedral Nickel(II) Complexes

The dinucleating ligand ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N',N'-tetrakis[(2-(1-ethylbenzimidazoyl)] (EGTB-Et; 1) was used to synthesize the dinuclear Ni(II) tetraacetonitrile complex cation [Ni(2)(EGTB-Et)(CH(3)CN)(4)](2+) (2): triclinic space group P&onemacr; (a = 12.273(5) ?, b = 12.358(7) ?, c = 12.561(6) ?, alpha = 90.43(4) degrees, beta = 110.26(3) degrees, gamma = 99.21 (4) degrees, and Z = 1). The structure shows two identical octahedral Ni(II) centers each bound to two benzimidazole ring nitrogen atoms, one amine nitrogen atom, an ether oxygen atom, and two acetonitrile nitrogen atoms. The Ni(II) ions are tethered together by a diethyl ether linkage with a crystallographic center of inversion between the methylene carbons of this bridge. The Ni--Ni separation in 2 is 7.072 ?. The mononuclear Ni(II) complex cation [Ni(Bipy)(2)(OAc)](+) (3) (Bipy = bipyridine) was synthesized and crystallographically characterized: monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (a = 9.269(4) ?, b = 8.348(4) ?, c = 14.623(7) ?, and beta = 102.46(4) degrees, Z = 2). The Ni(II) ions in 3 adopts a distorted octahedral geometry and is bound to four bipyridine ring nitrogen atoms and two carboxylate oxygen atoms. The average Ni-N and Ni-O distances are 2.062 and 2.110 ?. The electronic absorption spectra of both 2 and 3 were recorded in acetonitrile solution and are consistent with octahedral coordination geometries about the Ni(II) ions with Racah parameters of 840 and 820 cm(-)(1), respectively. Both one- and two-dimensional (1)H NMR techniques were used to assign the observed hyperfine shifted (1)H NMR resonances of 2 and 3 in acetonitrile solution. Clear COSY cross signals are observed between the aromatic protons of both the benzimidazole and pyridine protons of 2 and 3, respectively. The use of 2D NMR methods to assign inequivalent aromatic protons rather than synthetic methods such as substitution or deuteration are discussed.     

Al(III) and Cu(II) simultaneous foam separation: Physicochemical problems

In the paper, simultaneous removal of Al(III) and Cu(II) from dilute aqueous solutions by ion and precipitate flotation methods is investigated. Influence of the pH of the initial solution, the surface active collector concentration and the gas flow rate on the final removal ratio and the course of ion and precipitate flotations is presented. The results show that simultaneous flotations of Al(OH)₃ and Cu(OH)₂ insoluble species occur allowing to achieve their almost complete removal in the pH range between 7 and 9. An increase of the surface active agent concentration causes a decrease of the final removal ratio as well as of the flotation rate constant. An increase of the gas flow rate results in an increase of ion and precipitate flotation rates.

Homobinuclear complex （HCuL）2 （1） （H3L： N-3-carboxylsalicylidene-N＇-salicylaldehyde-1,2-diaminoethane） was obtained from self-organization of the reported complex HCuL, and its crystal structure was determined through X-ray diffraction at room temperature.
