Thermal decomposition of lanthanide(III) complexes of bis-(salicylaldehyde)-1,3-propylenediimine Schiff base ligand

The thermal decomposition of lanthanide complexes, with a general formula: [LnL(NO₃)₂](NO₃), where Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, and Er; and L = bis-(salicyladehyde)-1,3-propylenediimine Schiff base ligand, was studied by thermogravimetric (TG) and derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) techniques. The TG and DTG data indicated that all complexes are thermostable up to 398 K. The thermal decomposition of all Ln(III) complexes was a two-stage process and the final residues were Ln₂O₃ (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er), Tb₄O₇, and Pr₆ O₁₁. The activation energies of thermal decomposition of the complexes were calculated from analysis of the TG-DTG curves using the Kissinger, Friedman, and Flynn-Well-Ozawa methods.     

Transition metal(II) ions with dinegative tetradentate schiff base

Some new coordination polymers of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II), obtained from the interaction of metal acetate with dipotassium salt of N,N’-di(carboxyethylidene)terephthalaldehydediimine (K₂SB) are described. The products, which have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, thermogravimetric analyses, electronic and infrared spectral studies, have composition, [M(SB)(H₂O)₂]_n. These colored coordination polymers are non-hygroscopic and quite stable at room temperature. On the basis of analytical data and IR studies, a 1:1 metal to ligand stoichiometry has been suggested to these coordination polymers. The IR studies have also revealed that ligands are coordinated to metal ion through carboxy oxygen and azomethine nitrogen. All the studies suggested tetradentate nature of the ligand with octahedral symmetry of the coordination polymers. All the coordination polymers are insoluble in acetone, ethanol, chloroform, methanol, benzene, DMF and DMSO. The thermal decomposition of the coordination polymers is studied and indicates that not only the coordinated water is lost but also that the decomposition of the ligand from the coordination polymers is necessary to interpret the successive mass loss.     

Thermal decomposition of some linear trinuclear schiff base complexes with acetate bridges

Ni(II)–M(II)–Ni(II) nuclear structured complexes were prepared from N,N’-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine (LH2) and its derivatives N,N’-bis(salicylidene)-2,2’-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (LDMH₂) and N,N’-bis(salicylidene)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine (LOH3), where M represents one of the following metal ions; Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II). Two different μ-bridges are found between the metal nucleus of the complexes. The phenolic oxygens and acetate ions tend to form μ-bridges between the terminal Ni(II) ions and central metal(II) ion. The coordinatively bonded DMF molecules, in the complexes, were observed to abandon the structure between 160–180°C. Further heating resulted primarily in the thermal decomposition of the complexes above 310°C, whereas metal oxide residue mixtures were observed above 650°C.     

Thermal decomposition study of bismuth (III) trichloride complex with 1,10-phenanthroline as the ligand

The complex BiCl₃·L (L = 1,10-phenanthroline) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy (IR). Infrared spectroscopy data suggested that the nitrogen atom of the aromatic ring is bonded to the bismuth atom. The kinetic study of thermal degradation was determined by non-isothermal thermogravimetry. Two methods based on integral equation of Coats-Redfern, were necessary for determining the kinetic trip: the fitting method, known as the checking model and an iso-conversional method. The latter gives the activation energy for each degree of conversion and the first, the kinetic model gives activation energy and the pre-exponential factor for thermal decomposition processes that occur through a single simple mechanism. The kinetic parameters, E _a and log A for the heating rates of 5, 10, and 15 min K⁻¹, were determined considering the decomposition model denoted by F0/R1 in the range of degree of conversion between 0.065 and 0.71.

Thermal decomposition of metal complexes IV. Lanthanide(III) complexes with dibenzo-18-crown-6

The solid-state thermal dissociation reactions of the complexes of all the lanthanide(III) nitrates and thiocyanates (except Pm) with the cyclic polyether dibenzo-18-crown-6 were investigated. Thermal analysis was carried out in a dynamic atmosphere of dry nitrogen and under reduced pressure (5·10^?2 mm Hg). In both the conditions examined, the two series of complexes exhibit different thermal behaviours. The values of enthalpy change and “activation energy” for the dissociation reactions of the complexes with lanthanide thiocyanates show a periodic trend along the lanthanide series.

Structure of a new schiff base cobalt(III) complex with antibacterial activity

A new Schiff base cobalt(III) complex with the formula [CoL¹L²(N₃)]·NO₃ (L¹ is 2-[1-(2-phenylaminoethylimino)ethyl]phenolate, L² is N-phenylethane-1,2-diamine) is prepared and characterized by physicochemical methods and single crystal X-ray determination. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic system space group P-1, with a = 8.504(2) Å, b = 14.973(3) Å, c = 20.676(4) Å, α = 100.021(3)°, β = 90.005(3)°, γ = 103.084(2)°, V = 2523.0(9) ų, Z = 4, R ₁ = 0.0732, and wR ₂ = 0.1182. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the complex contains two mononuclear [CoL¹L²(N₃)]⁺ cations and two nitrate anions. The Co atom is six-coordinated in an octahedral geometry. The ligands and the cobalt(III) complex are screened in vitro for their antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtillis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aereuguinosa.

Solid state decomposition studies on metal salicylates. Thermal decomposition of some lanthanide salicylato complexes

The thermal stability and mechanism of thermal decomposition in air of the four lanthanide complexes of 2-hydroxybenzoic acid have been studied by TG, DSC, IR and MS techniques. An analysis of the prepared compounds show that Pr(III), Nd(III) and Tb(III) form anhydrous salicylato (Hsal)⁻ complexes while the corresponding holmium compound contains four water molecules. The TG curves show two (praseodymium, terbium), three (neodymium) or four (holmium) main stages of thermal decomposition. The most unstable among the complexes studied is Ho(Hsal)₃·4H₂O which releases four water molecules in an endothermic dehydration step. Ligand molecules decompose mainly in two stages of which the first is endothermic and is attributed to the release of the ligand acid and the second is a strongly exothermic decarboxylation process. The final decomposition product is the corresponding lanthanide(III) oxide, except in the case of terbium which decomposes to Tb₄O₇.

This analysis revealed that metal (II) complexes remain in distorted tetrahedral coordination environments. The electronic properties such as HOMO and LUMO energies are carried out by gaseous phase DFT/B3LYP calculations using Gaussian 09 program. Complex 1 showed a good binding propensity to the DNA and HSA, during the assessment of docking studies. Schiff base ligand HL and its metal (II) complexes, 1–3 screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities using the disc diffusion method against selected microbes. Complex 1 shows higher antimicrobial activity than complexes 2, 3 and Schiff base ligand HL. According to the results obtained from the cytotoxic studies, Schiff base ligand HL and its metal (II) complexes 1–3 have better cytotoxicity against MCF‐7 cell lines with potency higher than the currently used chemotherapeutic agent cyclophosphamide.
