Two vic-dioxime ligands （LxH2） containing morpholine group have been synthesized from 4-[2-（dimethylaminoethyl）] morpholine with anti-phenylchloroglyoxime or anti-monochloroglyoxime in absolute THF at -15 ℃. Reaction of two vic-dioxime ligands with MCl2·nH2O （M： Ni, Cu or Co and n=2 or 6） salts in 1 ： 2 molar ratio afforded metal complexes of type [M（LxH）2] or [M（LxH）2·2H2O]. All of metal complexes are non-electrolytes as shown by their molar conductivities （Am） in DMF （dimethyl formamide） at 10^-3 mol·L^-1. Structures of the ligands and metal complexes have been solved by elemental analyses, FT-IR, UV-Vis, ^1H NMR and ^13C NMR, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity measurements. Furthermore, redox properties of the metal complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry.

Electrochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Nickel(II) Complexes with N‐2‐Pyridyl‐sulfonamide Ligands

Heteroleptic nickel(II) complexes [NiL₂L′] of a series of monoanionic and potentially bidentate N‐2‐pyridyl‐sulfonamide ligands [HL] and 2,2′‐bipyridine or 1,10‐Phenanthroline (L′) have been prepared by electrochemical oxidation of a nickel anode in an acetonitrile solution of the ligands. The complexes have been characterized by microanalysis, IR and electronic spectroscopy, magnetic measurements and LSI mass spectrometry. The crystal structure of [Ni(Ms6mepy)₂(bipy)] has been determined by x‐ray diffraction and shows the metal in an octahedral NiN₆ environment. Octahedral structures are also proposed for the other complexes with the N‐2‐pyridyl‐sulfonamide ligands acting as N,N′ or N, O bidentate systems, depending on the position of the methyl substituent on the pyridine ring.     

The Liquid-Liquid Extraction of Copper(II), Nickel(II), and Cobalt(II) with 2,2′-Pyridil-mono-(2-quinolylhydrazone)

A 1:1 synthesis of 2-quinolylhydrazine with 2,2′-pyridil yields the hydrazone 2,2′-pyridil-mono-(2-quinolylhydrazone). In either the Z or E isomeric configuration, the molecule can serve as a tridentate ligand. Equilibrium studies were carried out to determine the effects of pH and concentration of ligand and metal on the distribution of the extracted complex into methyl isobutyl ketone. Graphical analysis of the slopes of the plot of the logarithm of the distribution coefficient vs pH, log [ligand], and log [M(II)] will determine the stoichiometry and polymerization of the complex. In the extraction of Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II), there is a small change in log D, where D is the distribution coefficient, with pH indicating the presence of a weakly dissociated ligand. Ligand:metal (1:1) ion-paired species are extracted, each having three absorption peaks in the region 400-550 nm. While a spectrophotometrtc method for each element does not seem feasible due to simultaneous extraction and overlapping absorbances, an extractive-atomic absorption method for the analysis of 1.6 ppm of Cu(II) is presented. Excesses of 20-70 ppm Co(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, and SO₄²⁻ do not interfere.

The 1:1 (metal-ligand) stoichiometry of these complexes is shown by elemental analysis, gravimetric estimations and conductometric titrations while the structures of the complexes are proved by i.r. spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. The magnetic susceptibility and electronic spectra of Cu(II) complexes indicate the nonplanar binuclear structures while that of Ni(II) and Co(II) show their paramagnetic octahedral geometry. The molar conductance values in nitrobenzene indicate the nonelectrolytic behaviour of the complexes. The results show that the complexes of the type (Cu·L)₂, Ni·L·3H₂O and Co·L·3H₂O are formed having solvent molecule in coordination with the metal ion. The monopyridine and monoammonia adducts of Cu(II) complexes were found to be monomeric.     

Synthesis and X‐ray Crystal Structure of Bis[oxamide dioximato‐κ2N,N′](oxamide dioxime‐κ2N,N′)cobalt(III) Perchlorate Hexahydrate

Co(OAc)₂ reacts with oxamide dioxime (H₂oxado) in water in the presence of ClO₄^– ions to produce [Co(Hoxado)₂(H₂oxado)]ClO₄ · 6H₂O ( 1 ), where Hoxado^– is the anion of H₂oxado, derived from the deprotonation of one of the two hydroximinic groups, and in which oxidation of Co^II to Co^III (in air) had occurred. 1 is the first example of a salt in which the cation, [Co(H₂oxado)₃]³⁺, is doubly deprotonated to generate the chiral cation, [Co(Hoxado)₂(H₂oxado)]⁺. The central cobalt cation is pseudo‐octahedrally coordinated by six nitrogen atoms. In the solid state, the complex cations form centro‐symmetric dimers via O–H ··· O bridges. The bulk structure is consolidated by an extended three‐dimensional network of O–H ··· O and N–H ··· O bridges that interconnect the ionic constituents and the water molecules.

A new organoborate ligand, hydro(benzoyl)(phthalyl)borate has been synthesized as its potassium salt (KL) and treatment of KL with one equivalent of MCl2•6H2O gave complexes ML(H2O)x•Cl [x＝2, M＝Co(II), Ni(II); x＝1, M＝Cu(II)]. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H NMR, ESI MS, UV-Vis techniques, conductivity and magnetic data measurements. Spectroscopic results suggest a square planar geometry in the Cu(II) complex, while the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes possess an octahedral geometry. Antibacterial activities (in vitro) of the ligand and its metal complexes were studied against two Gram positive (B. subtillis and B. magterium) and two Gram negative bacteria (E. Coli and S. boydi) at a single concentration (75 μg/mL) by using the Disc diffusion method. Antifungal activities (in vitro) were also checked for the compounds by using the same method against Candida albicans 10261, Penicillium sp. and Asperjillius niger., at a single concentration (50 μg/mL). The results showed that all the metal complexes, specially the nickel(II) complex, have higher antibacterial and antifungal activities than the corresponding potassium salt.     

Novel 3‐Hydroxy‐2‐naphthoic hydrazone and Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) Complexes: Synthesis,Spectroscopic Characterization,Antimicrobial, DNA Cleavage and Computational Studies

A novel hydrazone ligand derived from condensation reaction of 3‐hydroxy‐2‐naphthoic hydrazide with dehydroacetic acid, and its Ni(II), Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes were synthesized, characterized by spectroscopic, elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity methods, and screened for antimicrobial, DNA binding and cleavage properties. Spectroscopic analysis and elemental analyses indicated the formula, [MLCl₂], for the complexes; square planar geometry for the nickel, and tetrahedral geometry for copper and cobalt complexes. The non‐electrolytic natures of the complexes in Dimethyl Sulphoxide (DMSO) were confirmed by their molar conductance values in the range of 6.11–14.01 Ω^?1cm²mol^?1. The copper complex had the best antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213). DNA cleavage activities of the compounds, evaluated on pBR322 DNA, by agarose gel electrophoresis, in the presence and absence of oxidant (H₂O₂) and free radical scavenger (DMSO), indicated no activity for the ligand, and moderate activity for the complexes, with the copper complex cleaving pBR322 DNA more efficiently in the presence of H₂O₂. When the complexes were evaluated for antibacterial and A‐DNA activity using Molecular docking technique, the copper complex was found to be most effective against Gram‐positive (S. aureus) bacteria. [CuLCl₂] showed good hydrogen bonding interaction with the major‐groove (C₂^.G₁₃ base pair) of A‐DNA. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the structural and electronic properties of the complexes revealed that [CuLCl₂] had a smaller HOMO‐LUMO gap, suggesting a higher tendency to donate electrons to electron‐accepting species of biological targets.
