Syntheses,crystal structures and antibacterial activities of two new Mn(II) complexes based on triaryltriazoles

Two new Mn(II) complexes, trans-[Mn(L1-L2)₂(NCS)₂] (1–2) with triaryltriazole (1, L1 = 3-(p-bromophenyl)-4-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole; 2, L2 = 3,4-bis(p-methylphenyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, ESI-MS, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Crystallographic studies revealed that both 1 and 2 contain a distorted octahedral [MnN₆] core with two trans-disposed NCS^? ions. The L1 ligand, 1 and 2, together with four known homologous Mn(II) complexes, trans-[Mn(L3-L6)₂(NCS)₂] (3–6) (3, L3 = 3-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4-(p-chlorophenyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole; 4, L4 = 3-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4-(p-bromophenyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole; 5, L5 = 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-4-(p-methylphenyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole; 6, L6 = 3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-4-(p-methylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole), were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activities against two Gram-positive bacterial strains and two Gram-negative bacterial strains by the MTT method. The results indicate that 1 exhibited better activity than Penicillin and Kanamycin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and also better than its free L1 ligand.     

Syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of two monometallic tri-spin complexes involving nitronyl nitroxide radicals-lanthanide ions

Two new lanthanide-radical complexes [Ln(Hfac)₃(NIT-4PhAllO)₂](Ln(III) = Gd (I), Tb (II); Hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; NIT-4PhAllO = 4′-allyloxyphenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) have been prepared and characterized in structurally as well as magnetically. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that two complexes are isostructural with mononuclear tri-spin structure, in which the metal ions are eight-coordinated in distorted dodecahedron geometry. The nitronyl nitroxide radicals act as monodentate ligands towards Ln(Hfac)₃ unit through the oxygen atom of the nitronyl nitroxide group. Magnetic studies reveal that the Gd-coordinated nitroxide interaction is ferromagnetic.     

Syntheses, molecular and supramolecular structures, electrochemistry and magnetic properties of two macrocyclic dinickel(II) complexes

The work in this paper reports syntheses, molecular and supramolecular structures, electrochemistry and magnetic properties of two diphenoxo-bridged dinickel(II) compounds [Ni^II₂L(N₃)₂(H₂O)₂]·CH₃CN (1) and [Ni^II₂L(N₃)₂(H₂O)] (2), where H₂L is the tetraimino diphenolate macrocyclic ligand, obtained on [2 + 2] condensation of 4-methyl-2,6-diformylphenol and 2,2′-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane. Brown colored compound 1 and green colored compound 2 are produced from the same reaction mixture as a function of temperature; 1 is formed from the reaction mixture in acetonitrile at low temperature (ca. 5 °C), while 2 is formed on heating the reaction mixture in acetonitrile. Crystals of compounds 1 and 2 are monoclinic (space group P2₁/c) and orthorhombic (space group P2₁2₁2₁), respectively. Analyses of the crystal packing of the crystalline phases reveal that two-dimensional topologies are resulted in both 1 and 2 due to hydrogen bonding interactions. Variable-temperature (2-300 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements of the two compounds reveal that the metal centers in both the complexes are coupled by moderate antiferromagnetic interactions with J values (H = -2JS₁·S₂) −18.8 and −34.2 cm⁻¹ for 1 and 2, respectively. Electrochemical analyses of 2 reveal that this compound exhibits two-step reduction couples at E_½ = −977 and −1155 mV.     

Syntheses,crystal structures and thermal behavior of three Mn(II) complexes with 4-acyl pyrazolone derivatives

Three new manganese complexes, [Mn(PPeAP-INH)(CH₃OH)₂]_n(CHCl₃) (1) [PPeAP-INH=N-(1-phenyl-3-phenylethyl-4-ethylene-5-pyrazolone isoniazid, INH = isoniazid], [Mn₂(PM4MbP-INH)₂(CH₃OH)₄](CH₃OH) (2·CH₃OH), [PM4MbP-INH=N-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(p-methylbenzoylene)-5-pyrazolone) isoniazid)] and [Mn₂(PPePeP-INH)₂(CH₃OH)₄] (3) [PPePeP-INH=N-(1-phenyl-3-phenylethyl-4-phenylethylene-5-pyrazolone) isoniazid] have been prepared, aiming at the formation of extended coordination polymer with Mn(II) ions. Formation of the corresponding manganese-ligand complexes has been monitored and characterized by chemical and spectroscopic techniques. X-ray diffraction analyses of available single crystals revealed 1D polymeric patterns of supramolecular system. Among them, the dimers of 2 and 3, bridged by two methanol molecules, are extended by hydrogen bond of O–H···N to form the 1D chain. In these three new complexes which are all octahedral coordination environments, the N(5) atom of the pyridine heterocycles plays a very important role in building the bridged polymeric chain.

Syntheses and structures of two NiIICoIINiII complexes of macrocyclic ligands

Two new linear trinuclear complexes, [Co(NiL¹)₂(SCN)₂] (1) and [Co(NiL²)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂?·?2C₂H₅OH (2), have been prepared by using Co(ClO₄)₂?·?6H₂O and two macrocyclic complex ligands NiL¹ and NiL². L¹ and L² are the doubly deprotonated forms of dimethyl 5,6,7,8,15,16-hexahydro-6,7-dioxodibenzo[1,4,8,11]tetraazabicyclo[12.4.0^15,16]13,18-dicarboxylate and dimethyl 5,6,7,8,15,16-hexahydro-15-methyl-6,7-dioxodibenzo[1,4,8,11]tetraazacyclotetradecine-13,18-dicarboxylate, respectively. X-ray single crystal analyses reveal the coordination geometries around Ni(II) in both 1 and 2 are identical and slightly distorted square planar with N₄ donors; all Ni–N bonds in the two complexes are very short. The Co(II) ions are at the centers of the trinuclear complexes and have distorted octahedral coordination geometries of O₄N₂ donors in 1 and an O₆ in 2. π?···?π interactions involving aromatic and non-aromatic π-systems join the trinuclear entities to form 2-D layers in the crystals of 1 and 2.     

Synthesis,structures and magnetic properties of two hexanuclear complexes

The reaction of salicylaldoxime (H₂salox) with Mn(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O, NaN(CN)₂ and NEt₃ in MeOH affords a Mn^III₆ hexanuclear complex of [Mn₆O₂(salox)₆(MeOH)₆(NCNCONH₂)₂] (1), while reaction of H₂salox with MnCl₂ · 4H₂O and NEt₄OH in EtOH affords a Mn^III₆ hexanuclear complex of [Mn₆O₂(salox)₆(EtOH)₄(H₂O)₂Cl₂] (2). Both complexes 1 and 2 contain a [Mn^III₆(μ₃-O)₂]¹⁴⁺ core, which is a known structural type in the family of Mn₆ complexes. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibilities and magnetization measurement of complexes 1 and 2 have been carried out. Exchange interactions of metal centers for complexes 1 and 2 are fitted by a full diagonalization matrix method. The fitting results indicate that both complexes 1 and 2 have the ground-state spin value of S = 4, and the ground state of complex 1 has the much closer energy to low-lying spin states than that of complex 2. Magnetization measurements at 2.0–4.0 K and 10–70 kG confirm that the ground state is S = 4, with significant magnetoanisotropy as gauged by the D value of ?0.82 cm^?1 and ?1.18 cm^?1, for 1 and 2, respectively. The frequency dependence of the out-of-phase component in alternating current magnetic susceptibilities for both complexes 1 and 2 indicates the slow magnetic relaxation of superparamagnetic behaviour with a U_eff of 27.0(1) K and τ₀ = 3.8(2) × 10^?9 s for complex 1, and U_eff of 25.1(6) K and τ₀ = 4.6(1) × 10^?8 s for complex 2.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of two lead complexes containing tricyanomethanide

Two lead complexes [Pb(2,2′-bipy)₂(H₂O)₂(tcm)]₂·(tcm)₂·2H₂O, 1, and [Pb(phen)₂(tcm)₂], 2, have been prepared by reacting Pb(NO₃)₂, potassium tricyanomethanide (Ktcm) and 2,2-bipyridine or 10-phenanthroline, respectively. X-ray crystallography studies show that 1 is a dimer formed by two eight-coordinate [Pb(bipy)₂(H₂O)₂] units bridged by tricyanomethanide while 2 is a mononuclear six-coordinate compound with the lead atom surrounded by two phen ligands and two tricyanomethanide ions.

CH₃OH (1) and [Mn(III)(3,5-Brsalen)(dca)] · CH₃OH · CH₃CN (2) (5-Brsalen = N,N′-ethylenebis(5-bromo salicylaldiminato) dianion; 3,5-Brsalen = N,N′-ethylenebis(3,5-dibromosalicylal diminato) dianion), have been synthesized and characterized. X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the two complexes have 1-D chain structures constructed by μ _1,5-dca bridge. Magnetic susceptibility measurements exhibit weak antiferromagnetic exchange coupling in the complexes.     

Syntheses,structures, and optical properties of two cadmium complexes with chelidamic acid

[Cd₂(C₇H₃NO₅)₂ · 4(H₂O)] _n · 3nH₂O · 0.5n(CH₃OH) (1) and [Cd₃(C₇H₂NO₅)₂ · 10(H₂O)] · 2H₂O ·0.5CH₃OH (2) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal structure of 1 reveals that both Cds are seven-coordinate with pentagonal bipyramid geometries. Coordination polyhedra are interlinked into a 1-D chain, further linked by hydrogen bonds into a 3-D network. Complex 2 is a discrete structure, then independent [Cd₃(C₇H₂NO₅)₂ · 10(H₂O)] are linked by hydrogen bonds into a 3-D network. The optical properties of 1 and 2 were investigated with fluorescent spectra; both exhibit strong green luminescence probably originating from π–π* transition of the ligand.     

Syntheses, structures and properties of two new neodymium complexes with N-P-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl-glycine acid

Two new neodymium complexes, [Nd₂(abglyH)₆(2,2′-bipy)₂(H₂O)₂] · 4H₂O 1 and {[Nd(abglyH)₃(H₂O)₂] · (4,4′-bipy) · 7H₂O}_n 2 (abglyH₂ = N-P-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl-glycine acid, 2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine), have been synthesized and their structures have been measured by X-ray crystallography. In 1, nine-coordinated Nd(III) ions are bridged by two syn–syn bidentate and two tridentate bridging carboxylate groups from four different abglyH⁻ anions to form dinuclear motifs, which are further connected into a 3-D supramolecular framework via hydrogen bonds between the binuclear motifs and the uncoordinated water molecules. In 2, eight-coordinated Nd(III) ions are linked by six carboxylate groups adopting a syn–syn bidentate bridging fashion to form a 1-D inorganic–organic alternating linear chain. These polymeric chains generate microchannels extending along the a direction, and these cavities are occupied by discrete tetradecameric water clusters, which interact with their surroundings and finally furnish the 3-D supramolecular network via hydrogen bonds. At the same time, π–π stacking interactions between benzene rings from abglyH⁻ anions also play an important role in stabilizing the network.     

Syntheses,structures and properties of two Cu complexes with 4-(1H-imidazol-4-ylmethyl)aminophthalic acid

Two temperature-dependent copper(II) complexes {[Cu(HL)][Cu(HL)(H₂O)]} _n (1) and {[Cu(HL)]·H₂O} _n (2) [H₃L = 4-(1H-imidazol-4-ylmethyl)aminophthalic acid] have been synthesised under hydrothermal conditions. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complex 1 displays two crystallographic independent units, 1D chain and binuclear unit, respectively. The 1D chains and binuclear molecules are staggered arrangements along the c-axis in an (…ABAB…) fashion. When increasing the reaction temperature, complex 2 was obtained with only 1D chains structure. In addition, the magnetic property of complex 2 was studied, which indicates antiferromagnetic interactions between the neighbouring Cu(II) centres. The electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of complex 2 have also been studied by modified glassy carbon electrode of 2.

Syntheses,crystal structures,and antibacterial activities of two cobalt(III) complexes

Syntheses, structures, and antimicrobial activities of cobalt(III) complexes with two tetradentate Schiff-base ligands, (BA)₂en?=?bis(benzoylacetone)ethylenediimine dianion and (acac)₂en?=?bis(acetylacetone)ethylenediimine dianion, and two axial pyridines (py) have been investigated. These complexes were characterized by FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of the complexes were determined by X-ray crystallography. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that both complexes have distorted octahedral environments, Schiff-base ligand coordinates cobalt in four equatorial positions, and the two axial positions are occupied by pyridines. The pyridines and Schiff-base ligands are involved in N–H···O hydrogen bonds with perchlorate. Biological activities of the ligands and metal complexes have been studied on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis by the well diffusion method. The activity data show the metal complexes to be more potent than the parent ligand against two bacterial species.
