Self‐Assembly of Discrete Copper(I)‐Halide Complexes with Diacylthioureas

Three diacylthioureas 1,4‐C₆H₄[C(O)NHC(S)NHAr]₂ (Ar = 2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃) ( L¹ , 1 ), 1,3‐C₆H₄[C(O)NHC(S)NHAr]₂ ( L² , 2 ), and 1,3‐C₆H₄[C(O)NHC(S)NHAr′]₂ (Ar′ = 2,6‐Me₂C₆H₃) ( L³ , 3 ) were synthesized and characterized. The Cu^I complexes from the reactions of bipodal ligands Lⁿ with CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) were structurally investigated by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction methods. Treatment of L¹ with CuX gave the metallamacrocyclic complexes ( L¹ CuX)₂ [X = Cl ( 4 ), Br ( 5 ), I ( 6 )] with the ligand to metal in a ratio of 2:2, where both sulfur and halide anions function as terminal substituents. In contrast, when L² or L³ was reacted with CuBr, the two Lⁿ ligands coordinate to four copper atoms each in a bridging and terminal fashion to yield [ Lⁿ (CuBr)₂]₂ [n = 2 ( 7 ), 3 ( 8 )]. The obtained S₄Cu₄Br₄ core contains all four bromide anions in bridging positions. The reaction of L³ with CuX (X = Cl, I) gave the 3:3 trinuclear complexes ( L³ CuX)₃ [X = Cl ( 9 ) I ( 10 )], interconnected by halide bridges. The obtained diacylthioureas ( 1 – 3 ) and their Cu^I complexes ( 4 – 10 ) were also characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.

Summary Thermal study of the molecular and ionic platinum(II) complexes of diethyl (2-dqmp) and monoethyl (2-Hmqmp) ester of 2­quinolylmethylphosphonic acid: dihalide adducts trans-PtL₂X₂ (L=2-dqmp, X=Cl, Br; L=2-Hmqmp, X=Cl), methylquinolinium tetrahaloplatinates [LH⁺]₂[PtX₄^2-] (L=2-dqmp, X=Cl, Br; L=2­Hmqmp, X=Cl, Br), methylquinolinium hexahalodiplatinates [LH⁺]₂[Pt₂X₆^2-](L=2-Hmqmp, X=Cl, Br) and chelate complex Pt(2­mqmp)₂·2H₂O, has been carried out using TG-DTA techniques and the infrared spectroscopic study. There are great differences in the thermal behaviour between various types of complexes, especially between the molecular and the ion-pair salt complexes.     

Synthesis and structure of palladium(II) mixed complexes with DNA purine or pyrimidine bases and imidazole derivatives. Part I

Summary Palladium(II) mixed ligand complexes with purine or pyrimidine and imidazole derivatives were prepared and characterized by i.r., Raman and electronic spectroscopy. The compounds have the general formula [Pd(L₁)(L₂)(X₂)]; where L₁ = adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, cytosine, 2-aminopyrimidine, 4(6)-hydroxypyrimidine; L₂ = N-methylimidazole, N-ethylimidazole or N-propylimidazole; X = Cl or Br. The complexes are square planar with cis-halogens. The purine, pyrimidine and imidazole bases act as monodentate ligands coordinated via the N(7) of purine and N(3) of pyrimidine and imidazole.     

Copolymerization of carbon dioxide and cyclohexene oxide with zinc/β‐ketoiminato complexes: Investigating the influence of the electron structure of zinc/β‐ketoiminato complexes on the catalytic activity and resultant copolymer properties

A series of LZnX zinc/β‐ketoiminato complexes [L = CH₃C(OH)?C(CH₂CH?CH₂)C(CH₃)?NAr ( L₁ ), CH₃C(OH)?C(CH₂CH₂CN)C(CH₃)?NAr ( L₂ ), CH₃C(OH)?C(CH₂C₆H₅)C(CH₃)?NAr ( L₃ ), or CH₃C(OH)?CHC(CH₃)?NAr ( L₄ ); Ar = 2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃; and initiation group X = alcoholate or acetate (for L₁ ) or alcoholate (for L₂ – L₄ )] were synthesized, and their activities toward the copolymerization of carbon dioxide with cyclohexene oxide were determined. The 3‐position substituents on the β‐ketoiminato ligand backbone of the zinc/β‐ketoiminato complexes played an important role not only in the catalytic activity but also in the intrinsic viscosity, chemical composition, and refined microstructure of the resultant copolymers. The order of the catalytic activity of L₁ ZnX with different initiation groups (X = OMe, OⁱPr, or OAc) was L₁ Zn (OⁱPr) > L₁ Zn (OMe) > L₁ Zn (OAc), being the opposite of the order of the leaving ability of the initiation groups. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis,characterization, and biological investigation of new mixed-ligand complexes

A novel series of mixed-ligand complexes of 5,5′-{(1E,1E′)-1,4-phenelynebis(diazene-2,1-diyl)}bis(quinolin-8-ol) (H₂L₁) as a primary ligand and 4-aminoantipyrine(L₂) as a secondary ligand with Mn(II) ion were prepared using two general formulae: [Mn₂(H₂L₁)₂(L₂)₂X₄].4Cl (X = OH₂( 1 ), ONO₂⁻( 2 ), Cl=nil; OAc( 3 ), Cl = nil) and [Mn₂(H₂L₁)(L₂)₂(O₂SO₂)₂]( 4 ). Free ligands and their complexes were characterized. Electronic absorption spectra of the mixed-ligand complexes indicate a distorted octahedral geometry around the central metal ion, and the anions X⁻ are in the axial positions for all compounds. The ligands behave in a neutral bidentate manner, through nitrogen atoms and oxygen atoms of the carbonyl group (L₂), whereas H₂L₁ coordinated through nitrogen and OH groups as a neutral bidentate ligand. All complexes do not contain coordinated water molecules, but complex ( 1 ) contains four water molecules. The water molecules are removed in a single step. The complexes exhibited magnetic susceptibility corresponding to five unpaired electrons. The antimicrobial activity of the Mn(II) mixed-ligand complexes ( 1–4 ) against two gram-positive bacteria, three local gram-negative bacteria, and three fungi species was tested. Mn(II) mixed-ligand complex ( 2 ) exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas sp. Mixed-ligand complex ( 2 ) exhibited a high potential cytotoxicity against the growth of human lung cancer cells.

The composition of the cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes is [M(H₂L³)X₂] (X=Cl or Br) which contain the chromophore [MN₃X₂].     

Thermal decomposition of complexes of cadmium(II) and mercury(II) with triphenylphosphanes

A series of substituted triphenylphosphane complexes of the type CdL₂X₂ (L= triorthotolylphosphane or trimetatolylphosphane; X=Cl⁻, Br⁻ or I⁻) and HgL₂X₂ (L=triphenylphosphane or triorthotolylphosphane) was prepared fresh. The thermal decomposition was carried out in air with heating rate programmed at 10°C min⁻¹ and it revealed that the complexes with ortho derivative were less stable and the triphenylphosphane moiety leaves along with halogen in the first step. All the complexes were stable up to 210°C. However, the stability order of the tetrahedral complexes was X=Cl>Br. Values of n, E, lnA and ΔS ^# have been approximated and compared. Complexes having Br have higher E _a, lnA and ΔS ^# values than that having Cl.

The sterically demanding β‐diketiminate ligand L^dmp [L^dmp = HC{(CMe)N(dmp)}₂, dmp = C₆H₃‐2,6‐Me₂] was used to stabilize various gallium complexes in the formal oxidation states +II and +III. The reaction of in situ generated [L^dmpLi] with gallium chloride affords [L^dmpGaCl₂] ( 1 ), which was used as starting complex to synthesize a variety of gallium(III) compounds [L^dmpGaX₂] [X = F ( 2 ), I ( 3 ), H ( 4 ), and Me ( 5 )]. Synthesis of the dinuclear complex [L^dmpGaI]₂ ( 6 ), with gallium in the formal oxidation state +II was accomplished by converting “GaI” with in situ generated [L^dmpLi] in toluene. All compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, NMR spectroscopy, LIFDI‐TOF‐MS, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Additionally DFT calculations were performed for analysis of the bonding in 6 .

PALLADIUM DIHALIDE COMPLEXES WITH D,L-ETHIONINE

Abstract

By reaction of palladium halides with D,L-ethionine (D,L-EthH; molar ratio 1:1) in dichloromethane solutions containing an excess of 2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-one (DMP) [Pd(D,L-EthH)X₂] (X?Cl, Br or I) complexes have been isolated. When the solvent was benzene [Pd(D,L-EthH)X₂].DMP adducts were obtained in which the DMP molecule does not bind to the metal. The complexes have been characterized by infrared and nmr (¹H and ¹³C) spectroscopy and by thermogravimetric measurements (TG, DTG and DTA). The importance of DMP in determining the reaction course is discussed.     

Halogen derivatives of triphenylphosphine,triphenylarsine and triphenylstibine substituted molybdenum carbonyls

Summary Halogen oxidation of several LMo(CO)s andcis-L₂Mo(CO)₄ (L = Ph₃P₁Ph₃As and Ph₃Sb) derivatives has been studied. The LMo(CO)₅ complexes react with halogens to give hexacoordinate LMo(CO)₃ X₂ (X = Cl, Br or I) derivatives which are of very rare occurrence. Similar reactions withcis-L₂Mo(CO)₄ give heptacoordinate L₂Mo(CO)₃X₂ derivatives. The complexes have been characterised by elemental analysis, i.r. and conductivity measurements.

Pyridine-type complexes of transition metal halides

Formation of nitrogen ligated complexes of types NiL₆X₂, NiL₄X₂, NiL₂X₂ and NiL₁X₂ (whereL=pyridine, 2-, 3- and 4-methyl-pyridine andX=F, Cl, Br, I) have been studied by traditional preparative methods, i.e. from solutions and by solid-gas phase chemisorption. Quaternary mixed complexes were obtained by chemisorption from heated intermediates. The complexes thus formed were further analysed by simultaneous TG-DTG-DTA. Effects of the ligands on stoichiometry and thermal properties of the complexes are discussed.     

Thermal properties of cyanatocopper(II) complexes with pyridine,bipyridine and phenanthroline

The thermal properties of cyanatocopper complexes with pyridine, bipyridine and phenanthroline are described in this paper. It was found that the thermal stabilities of the complexes were found to increase in the order pybipy2(NCS)₂ (L=pyridine and its methyl derivates) which are composed of the liberation of ligandsL and redox reactions of thiocyanate ligands with the central Cu(II) atom [1, 2]. The decomposition temperature of thiocyanate ligands depends on the properties of the ligandsL present in the coordination sphere. An analogous course of thermal decomposition was also observed for [Cu(bipy)₂(NCX)](NCX) (X=S or Se) [3]. For the phenanthroline complexes [Cu(phen)₂(NCX)₂] (X=S or Se) the thermal stability was found to increase significantly (by about 140C) and the decomposition stoichiometry was also changed [3].The present paper contains the results of thermoanalytical studies on bipyridine and phenanthroline cyanatocopper complexes, and a comparison of the thermal properties of pyridine cyanato and isothiocyanatocopper complexes.     

Zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes of 4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine-2(1H)-one

The following zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes of 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)-one (L) have been prepared and investigated by conductometric,IR and Raman methods: MX₂L₂ (M = Zn, X = Cl, Br(CHCl₃, I(CHCl₃, CF₃COO; M = Cd, X = Cl, Br CF₃COO; M = Hg, X = Cl, CF₃COO), Cd₂I₄L₃, Hg₃X₆L₂ (X = Cl, Br), Hg₃X₆L₄(X = Br, I), MX₂L₄·6H₂O (M = Zn, Cd, X = CIO₄, BF₄; M = Hg, X = CIO₄. The ligand is principally bonded through the unprotonated nitrogen atom and in some complexes also through the carbonylic oxygen atom. The zinc halide complexes are tetrahedrally coordinated, the trifluoroacetate ion is coordinated as a monodentate ligand.     

Dual zinc catalysts for L‐lactide polymerization and reaction of CO2 with cyclohexene oxide

A series of zinc complexes, [ L ^X ZnEt] ( 1–5 ) and [ L ^X Zn ₂ (OAc) ₃ ] (6–9) , associated with NNO‐tridentate Schiff base ligands (2‐(((2‐((cyclohexyl[methyl]amino)methyl)phenyl)imino)methyl)phenolate (CAP) derivatives), were synthesized, and their activity toward ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of L‐lactide (LA) and the reaction of CO₂ with cyclohexene oxide were also investigated. All of [ L ^X ZnEt] revealed excellent catalytic activity to ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of LA in the presence of benzyl alcohol. Among them, [ L ^H ZnEt] (1) showed the highest activity with 82% conversation within 45 s. In contrast, [L ^X Zn ₂ (OAc) ₃ ] (6–9) were inactive in ROP of L‐lactide. In addition, all of these Zn complexes demonstrated moderate activity in the reaction of CO₂ with cyclohexene oxide in the presence of Bu₄NCl.     

Tetradentate asymmetric Schiff bases and their Ni(II) and Fe(III) complexes

Three asymmetric Schiff-base tetradentate diimines H₂L¹, H₂L², and H₂L³ [(2-OH)C₆H₄N=CHC₆H₄2-N=CHC₆H₃(2-OH)(5-X), X?=?H, CH₃, Cl respectively] have been synthesized by a two step process. The reaction of 2-hydroxy aniline with 2-nitro-benzaldehyde in EtOH gave the starting Schiff base, 2-hydroxy-N-(2-nitrobenzylidene)aniline (SB-NO₂), which was reduced into the amino derivative (SB-NH₂) in solution. Reacting SB-NH₂ with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzaldehyde gave the three new ligands H₂L¹, H₂L², and H₂L³ respectively. Their dimeric, binuclear metal complexes with Ni(II) and Fe(III) have also been synthesized. The ligands and their complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, LC–MS, IR, electronic, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR spectra, TGA, conductivity and magnetic measurements. All of the spectroscopic, analytical and other data indicate octahedral geometry M₂L₂(H₂O)X₂ (M: Ni,Co;X: Cl or H₂O), except for NiL² which is monomeric. Antimicrobial activities of the ligands and the complexes were evaluated against five bacteria. While the ligands and the Ni complexes are inactive towards Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, Fe complexes are active; only Fe complexes are inactive against Escherichia coli. All of the compounds have antimicrobial activities against Bacillus subtilis, and Yersinia enterecolitica.
