Synthesis,characterization and thermal behaviour of some poly(2-vinyl pyridine) complexes

Poly(2-vinyl pyridine) complexes were prepared via quaternization of the ring nitrogen with different reagents (I₂, Br₂, Cl₂, CrO₃, picric acid and HgCl₂). The thermal behaviour of these polymer complexes, such as E and the order of decomposition, were studied by using the modified Freeman and Carroll procedure. Generally, it was found that the presence of a substituent on the nitrogen in the polymer lowers the activation energy and the thermal stability.

Thermal Studies of Cobalt(II), Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Complexes of 4-(Sulfonylazido Phenylazo) Pyrazolones

The thermal decompositions of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of4-(3'-sulfonylazido-6'-methoxyphenylazo)-1-phenyl-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one H(D¹–SO₂N₃) and 4-(4'-sulfonylazido phenylazo)-3-phenyl-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one H(D²–SO₂N₃) were studied by thermogravimetry. The decomposition in all cases takes place along two stages. The first stage is due to the elimination of water and nitrogen molecules with the formation of tetracoordinate complexes containing nitrene reactive species[M(DSO₂N:)₂]. The second stage represents the decomposition of the material to the metal oxide. The kinetics of the decomposition were examined by using Coats–Redfern, the decomposition in all complexes was found to be first order for the first and second stages. The activation energies and other activation parameters (H^* and S^* and G^*) were computed and related to the bonding and stereochemistry of the complexes.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Nickel(II) complexes of anti-2-furancarboxaldoxime

Five different complexes of nickel(II) withanti-2-furancarboxaldoxime (-FDH) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weights, conductance studies, magnetic moments and infra-red spectral studies. These are [Ni(FDH)₄Cl₂], [Ni(FD)₂(FDH)], [Ni(FD)₂(FDH)₂], [Ni(FD)₂·en], and [Ni(FD)₂]. All the complexes are neutral monomeric, paramagnetic (=3.3–3.7 B) and may be considered octahedral except the complex [Ni(FD)₂], (=2.92 B) which is tetrahedral. In these complexes the ligand functions as a monodentate and/or bidentate, coordinating with furan oxygen and oxime oxygen in the latter case. The ligand has been shown to be present in the ionized, and/or unionized form in these complexes.     

Thermonanalytical Investigations of Monochlorobis (2,4-Pentanedionato) Vanadium(IV) Aryloxides

The thermal decomposition of the complexes [Vcl (acac)₂(OAr)] (where acac=2,4-pentanedionato anion; OAr=–OC₆H₄O-M-4, OC₆H₄OBut-4) has been studied using non-isothermal techniques (DTA and TG). The TGA indicate that the substitution of chlorine in VCl₂(acac)₂ with aryloxide ligands results in an increase in the initial temperature of decomposition (IDT) of the new complexes. The role of the substituent at the aryloxide ring on the thermal stability of the complexes is depicted and hence described. The ultimate decomposition product in all the complexes has been identified as V₂O₅. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters namely, the energy of activation E, the frequency factor A, entropy of activation S and specific reaction rate constant k _r etc. have been rationalized in relation to the bonding aspect of the aryloxide ligands.

Thermal decomposition of complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) ions with thiosalicylic acid or ethylenediamine

The thermal decompositions of crystalline Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes with thiosalicylic acid or ethylenediamine were investigated via the respective thermal curves. On the basis of the decomposition temperatures, the following sequences of stabilities of the studied compounds have been proposed: 1. [Co(SR)][Ni(SR)]<[Zn(SR)]; 2. [Zn(en)₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O<[Co(en)₂](NO₃)₂<[Ni(en)₃](NO₃)₂.     

Pyrazine Complexes of Octacyanometallates of Mo(IV) and W(IV) With 8-hydroxyquinoline: Synthesis,characterisation and thermal studies

The complexes formed by photosubstitution of pyrazine (Pz) in octacyanomolybdate(IV) and -tungstate(IV) with 8-hydroxyquinoline have been assigned the formulae [Mo(CN)₂(OH)₂(Pz)₂(OX)] and [W(CN)₂(OH)₂(Pz)₂(OX)·1.5H₂O]. Coordination of Pz as an unidentate ligand by donating a lone pair of electron from nitrogen is shown by an absorption peak between 8–11 µ. Mechanism for the thermal decomposition of the complexes has been given. The formation of tungsten metal as residue in case of II has been confirmed by XRD analysis. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters like activation energy (E _a), pre-exponential factor (A) and entropy of activation (S ^#) were calculated employing different integral methods of Doyle, Coats and Redfern and Arrhenius.H for each stage of decomposition was obtained from DSC.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

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.     

Thermal analysis study of some transition metal complexes by TG and DSC methods

The thermodynamic and thermal properties of [Cu(L)₂·Cl₂], [Ni(L)₂]·Cl₂, [Co(L)₂·Cl₂]; L=1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane (BAFE), complexes have been investigated. The thermal decomposition of the complexes took place in two distinct steps in endothermic reaction up to 700°C. The activation energy E, the entropy change S ^#, enthalpy H change and Gibbs free energy change G ^# were calculated from the results of thermogravimetry analysis (TG) and heat capacity from the results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the thermal stabilities and activation energies of the complexes follow the order Ni(II)>Cu(II)>Co(II) and E _Co<E _Ni<E _Cu, respectively.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Heterogeneous reactions of solid nickel(II) complexes,V

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of solid complexes of the type Ni(NCS)₂L₂ (L=pyridine,β-picoline and quinoline), of pseudooctahedral configuration, were studied by using isothermal methods, on the basis of losses of weight, in the temperature range 90–191?. The most suitable reaction order for all the complexes under investigation was found to ben=2/3, i.e. the total decomposition rate is determined by the chemical process proper. The calculated values ofE _a(in kcal · mole^?1) decrease in the following order: Ni(NCS)₂py₂ (29.4)>Ni(NCS)₂(β-pic)₂ (27.6)>Ni(NCS)₂Q₂ (24.3). With increasing volume of the ligand L the reaction rate also increases, and this suggests that the reaction proceeds by dissociative activation. For all the investigated complexes it was found that δH>E _A; this may be explained by a several-step mechanism and the complex Ni(NCS)₂L is then considered an intermediate.     

Thermal studies of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of N,N′-<Emphasis Type="Italic">bis</Emphasis>(3,5-Di-<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-butylsalicylidene)ethylenediamine

The thermal decomposition kinetics of sterically hindered salen type ligand (L) and its metal complexes [M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II)] were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. A direct insertion probe-mass spectrometer (DIP-MS) was used for the characterization of metal complexes of L and all fragmentations and stable ions were characterized. The thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) plots of salen type salicylaldimine ligand and complexes showed a single step. The kinetic analysis of thermogravimetric data was performed by using the invariant kinetic parameter method (IKP). The values of the invariant activation energy, E _inv and the invariant pre-exponential factor, A _inv, were calculated by using Coats-Redfern (CR) method. The thermal stabilities and activation energies of metal complexes of sterically hindered salen type ligand (L) were found as Co(II)>Cu(II)>Ni(II)>L and E _Cu>E _Ni>E _Co>L. Also, the probabilities of decomposition functions were investigated. The diffusion functions (D _n) are most probable for the thermal decomposition of all complexes.     

Thermal studies on anisaldehyde carbohydrazone methyl trimethylammonium chloride complexes of zinc,cadmium and mercury

The kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition of Zn, Cd and Hg(II) hydrazone complexes of the general formula [MCl₂(AGT)₂]Cl₂, where AGT=anisaldehyde carbohydrazone methyl trimethylammonium cation, $$CH_3 O - C_6 H_4 - CH = N - NH - CO - CH_2 - \mathop N\limits^ + (CH_3 )_3 ,$$ and M=Zn, Cd and Hg(II), have been determined from the corresponding thermal curves. The order of the reaction (n) and the activation energy (E _a) have been derived. The kinetic data are discussed in terms of the effect of the metal ion on the activation energy. A thermal decomposition mechanism is suggested.     

Synthesis,thermal analysis,and spectroscopic and structural characterizations of tetranuclear nickel(II) cubane-type clusters with 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes or 2-hydroxyphenones

In this study, three novel tetranuclear nickel(II) cubane-type clusters with the general formula [Ni₄(L)₄(μ₃-CH₃O)₄(CH₃OH)₄] [L: the anion of 5-methyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1), 2-hydroxypropiophenone (2), and 2-hydroxybenzophenone (3)] were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structure of each compound contains a tetranuclear cubane core [Ni₄O₄] based on an approximately cubic array of altering nickel and oxygen atoms with intracluster metal–metal separations of 3.04–3.14 Å. Each Ni(II) atom is surrounded by two oxygen atoms from the ligand (L) and by the μ₃-CH₃O oxygen atom that bridges three Ni atoms of the cubane core. The coordination sphere of Ni is completed with one methanol molecule and making six-coordinate with a distorted octahedral geometry. These complexes were characterized also by spectroscopy (IR and UV–Vis). Simultaneous TG/DTG–DTA techniques were used to analyze their thermal behavior under inert atmosphere, with particular attention to determine their thermal degradation pathways, which was found to be a multi-step decomposition accompanied by the release of the ligand molecules. Finally, the kinetic analysis of the decomposition processes was performed for the first step of complex (3), since only this verifies the requirement of applying an isoconversional method like Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS). For this step, we found the average value E _a = 107.8 ± 4.5 kJ mol^?1.     

Infrared spectra and theoretical study ofE-3-(2-R-vinyl)-2-benzothiazolinones

The C=O stretching frequencies ofE-3-(2-R-vinyl)-2-benzothiazolinones (1 a–1 p) were measured in CCl₄ and CHCl₃ and correlated with ⁺ and * substituent constants. Thev(C=O) vs * (R) correlation was compared to an analogical relationship obtained with 3-R-2-benzothiazolinones (2). The electronic structure and geometry of compounds was investigated by CNDO/2 and PCILO methods. The results of both the spectral and theoretical studies showed forE-3-(2-R-vinyl)-2-benzothiazolinones a preference of the N—C-s-cis conformation (3), in which the substituent effects are transmitted to the C=O group very efficiently. The transmission factor for the CH=CH group was determined according to the definition ofJaffé. The role of inductive effects, delocalization of the nitrogen lone-pair electrons as well as the through-space interaction between the C=O and C=C bonds is discussed in terms of transmission mechanism and structural properties.

Die Rolle von induktiven Effekten, der Delokalisierung des freien Elektronenpaares am Stickstoff und der C=O....C=C-Wechselwirkungen durch den Raum wurde auf Basis von Transmissionsmechanismen und strukturellen Eigenschaften diskutiert.

     

Synthesis, thermal stability, electronic features, and antimicrobial activity of phenolic azo dyes and their Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes

Four water soluble azo dyes, 4-(isopropyl)-2-[(E)-(4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl]phenol (L ¹), 4-(isopropyl)-2-[(E)-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)diazenyl]phenol (L²), 4-(sec-butyl)-2-[(E)-(4-chlorophenyl) diazenyl]phenol (L ³), 4-(sec-butyl)-2-[(E)-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)diazenyl]phenol (L ⁴), and their Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic methods. Examination of their thermal stability revealed similar decomposition temperature of approximately 260–300°C and that they were more thermally stable than their metal complexes. Ni(II) complexes of ligands L² and L⁴ were more stable than the other coordination compounds. Among the synthesized ligands, L² and the complexes Cu(L³)₂ and Ni(L⁴)₂ showed both antimicrobial and antifungal activity. However, the other ligands and the complexes were poorly active against selected microorganisms.     

Hydrothermal and sonochemical synthesis of a nano-sized nickel(II) Schiff base complex as a precursor for nano-sized nickel(II) oxide; spectroscopic, catalytic and antibacterial properties

The Ni(II) complexes [Ni(L)₂](ClO₄)₂ (1) and [Ni(L)₂(NO₃)₂] (2), where L is the Schiff base ligand of 4,5,9,13,14-pentaaza-benzo[b] triphenylene, were synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. Nano-sized particles of (1) were prepared both by sonochemistry (3) and solvothermal (4) methods. NiO nanoparticles were obtained by calcination of the nano-structure complexes at 500 °C. The structures of the nano-sized compounds were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The thermal stabilities of the bulk complexes (1–2) and nano-sized particles (3–4) were studied by thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry. The catalytic activities of complexes of (1–4) are reported. The free Schiff base and its Ni(II) complexes have been screened for antibacterial activities against three Gram-positive bacteria. The metal complexes are more active than the free Schiff base. Electrochemical studies show that the Ni complexes undergo irreversible reduction in MeCN solution.     

Monomeric [Ni(2,2"-Bipy){(i-C4H9)2PS2}2] and [Ni(Pz)2{(i-C4H9)2PS2}2] and Polymeric [Ni(Pz){(i-C4H9)2PS2}2]nComplexes (Pz = Pyrazine): Synthesis,Structures, and Properties

Diamagnetic [Ni(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] compound (I) in ethanol reacts with 2,2"-bipyridine or pyrazine to give the paramagnetic complexes [Ni(2,2"-Bipy)(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] (II), [Ni(Pz)₂(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] (III), and [Ni(Pz)(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] _n (IV) (_eff= 2.91–3.12 _B). Single crystals of IIwere grown for X-ray diffraction study. The crystals are monoclinic, a= 14.669(3) Å, b= 19.693(4) Å, c= 12.155(2) Å, = 107.51(3)°, V= 3348(1) ų, Z= 4; _calcd= 1.257 g/cm³, space group P2₁/c. The structure is built from monomeric molecules. The coordination polyhedron of the Ni atom is a distorted octahedron formed by four S atoms of two bidentate chelating i-Bu₂PS^– ₂ligands and by two N atoms of bidentate cyclic 2,2"-Bipy. Preliminary data for complexes IIIand IVindicate that they also contain an octahedral NiN₂S₄fragment. The structures of complexes I(square planar) and ofII–IV(octahedral) were confirmed by data from electron spectroscopy. Electronic absorption spectra were used to determine the rankings of the i-Bu₂PS^– ₂ions and Pz on a spectrochemical scale.     

Decomposition pathway of diaquabis(N,N'-dimethyl-1,2-ethanediamine)Ni(II) acesulfamate

Summary Prediction of the thermal decomposition pathway of the metal complexes is very important from the theoretical and experimental point of view to determine the properties and structural differences of complexes. In the prediction of the decomposition pathways of complexes, besides the thermal analysis techniques, some ancillary techniques e.g. mass spectroscopy is also used in recent years. In the light of the molecular structures and fragmentation components, it is believed that the thermal decomposition pathway of most molecules is similar to the ionisation mechanism occurring in the mass spectrometer ionisation process. In this study, the thermal decomposition pathway of [Ni(dmen)₂(H₂O)₂](acs)₂ complex have been predicted by the help of thermal analysis data (TG, DTG and DTA) and mass spectroscopic fragmentation pattern. The complex was decomposed in four stages: a) dehydration between 84-132°C, b) loss of N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine (dmen) ligand, c) decomposition of remained dmen and acesulfamato (acs) by releasing SO₂, d) burning of the organic residue to resulting in NiO. The volatile products observed in the thermal decomposition process were also observed in the mass spectrometer ionisation process except molecular peak and it was concluded that the ionisation and thermal decomposition pathway of the complex resembles each other.     

Thermal stability of di-μ-oxo-bridged binuclear and tetranuclear manganese(IV) complexes

Summary The thermal stabilities of the [(di--oxo)Mn₂] cores of bi- and tetranuclear Mn^IV complexes have been studied. The stabilities are discussed in terms of structural and conformational factors. The energies of activation (E_a) of the decomposition reactions were determined. The nature of interaction of the solvent of crystallization is also discussed.     

Solid state thermal isomerisation of diethylenetriamine complexes of NiX2 (X=NO3, ClO4, BF4 and CF3SO3)

Summary [Ni(dien)₂]X₂·nH₂O (dien=diethylenetriamine; n=0, X=NO₃ or CF₃SO₃; n=0.5, X=ClO₄ or BF₄ and n=2, X=CF₃SO₃) complexes have been prepared and investigated thermally in the solid state. [Ni(dien)₂](NO₃)₂ (1) and [Ni(dien)₂](CF₃SO₃)₂ (2) undergo endothermic irreversible phase transitions (209–247°C and 184–205°C; H=5.6 kJ mol^–1 and 7.7 kJ mol^–1 for (1) and (2), respectively). [Ni(dien)₂](ClO₄)₂·0.5H₂O (3) shows an endothermic irreversible phase transition after deaquation (201–216°C; H=7.7 kJ mol^–1). [Ni(dien)₂](BF₄)₂·0.5H₂O also shows an endothermic irreversible phase transition after deaquation, accompanied by partial decomposition. All the complexes possess octahedral geometry with the ligands arranged meridionally. The phase transitions are explained in terms of conformational changes of the triamine chelate rings.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.

Thermal decomposition of nickel(II) complexes under quasi-equilibrium conditions

The stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the relationship between the thermal parameters (quasi-equilibrium decomposition temperaturesT _D and decomposition entalpies H _D) of NiL₄(NCS)₂ complexes (L=imidazole derivatives) were studied. It was found that changes in the experimental conditions strongly influence the decomposition stoichiometry. TheT _D and H _D can be ordered in the following sequence (according toL): imidazole<2-Me imidazole<2-Et imidazole相似文献
