Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Zinc(II) and Nickel(II) Complexes Involving Reduced Nitroxide Radicals

1 INTRODUCTION The synthesis of new molecular magnetic mate- rials that combine transition metal ions and pure organic radicals as ligating sites has attracted much more attention in the last few years[1~4]. Nitronyl ni- troxide radicals, independently or in combination with metal ions, have been one of the most studied systems in molecular magnetism for understanding the radical-radical or metal-radical interactions as well as for synthesizing organic ferromagnets and metal-radical magne…     

Coordination Features of a Polyaza-Bipyridine-Macrocyclic Ligand toward Co(II) and Cd(II) in Water and Dimethylsulfoxide

The coordination features of a polyaza macrocycle, containing the diverse bipyridine unit 4,4′-(2,5,6,11,14-pentaaza[15]-[15](2,2′)-bipyridylophane (L3), with Co(II) and Cd(II) have been studied in aqueous solution and in the aprotic solvent dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The study was carried out at 298 K by means of potentiometric, spectrophotometric and calorimetric techniques. The formation of the dinuclear species M₂ L3 is observed for Co(II) both in water and in DMSO, whereas Cd(II) is able to form this type of dinuclear complex only in DMSO. The FT-IR spectra of the mononuclear species ML3, formed in both solvents, provide evidence that the rigid structure of the polyaminic chain prevents metal ions from being coordinated by all of the nitrogens of the macrocyclic cavity, in good agreement with the behavior suggested by the thermodynamic parameters. The results are compared with those for the complexation of Co(II) and Cd(II) with similar polyazamacrocycles containing a bipyridine unit directly inside the cavity. Semi-empirical calculations were also performed to obtain structural information.

Synthesis Characterization and Viscosity Studies of Homopolymer of Methyl Methacrylate and Copolymer of Methyl Methacrylate and Styrene

A homopolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and its copolymer with styrene at different compositions were synthesized and characterized. Viscosity measurements of the synthesized homopolymer and the copolymers in toluene solutions were performed at 313 K. Different equations were used to calculate the intrinsic viscosity, viscometric constants values, and molecular weight of the synthesized polymers. The values of intrinsic viscosity and viscosity average molecular weight obtained by the two methods (single point determination and graphical extrapolation) were compared in order to verify the validity of the single point determination for the polymers. Viscometric properties derived included the specific viscosity (it determines the contribution of the solute to the viscosity of the solution), the reduced viscosity (that provides a measure of the polymer capacity for increasing the solution viscosity), and the intrinsic viscosity.     

Blue Luminescent Zinc(II)-and Cadmium(II)-1,4-phenylenediacetate Complexes

1 INTRODUCTION The crystal engineering and design of solid-state coordination polymers have become a very attrac- tive field in recent years[1～4]. Many interesting fra- meworks with intriguing potential applications have been obtained through the self-assembly of selected metal centers and carboxylate ligands[5, 6].

Aqueous Equilibrium and Solution Structural Studies of the Interaction of N,N′-bis(4-imidazolymethyl)etylenediamine with Ca(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Mg(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) Metal Ions

Divalent metal complexes of N,N′-bis(4-imidazolymethyl)etylenediamine (EMI) have been studied using potentiometric and spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis and NMR methods) in aqueous 0.1 mol⋅L⁻¹ KCl supporting electrolyte at 25 °C. Final models and overall stability constants for the complexes of Ca(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Mg(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) have been established by potentiometry for all M(II)–EMI systems, except for Co(II)–EMI. The data revealed that EMI forms ML complexes with all M(II)–EMI systems, which is the dominant species over a wide range of pH except for the Ca(II)–EMI and Mg(II)–EMI systems. Formation of the MnHL complex was also found for Mn(II)–EMI solutions. In addition, the UV-Vis and ¹H NMR results allowed us establish the coordination modes for the metal complexes between EMI with Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II).     

Thermodynamics of Copper(II), Zinc(II), Cobalt(II), Mercury(II), and Nickel(II) Complexation with α,α-Dipyrrolylmethene in DMF

Thermodynamics of complexation reactions between Zn(II), Ni(II), Hg(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) acetates and 3,35,5-tetramethyl-4,4-dibutyldipyrrolylmethene in DMF at 298.15 K is studied by calorimetric and spectrophotometric methods. The replacement of Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Hg²⁺ ions by Co²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions was found to increase the equilibrium constants of reactions of complex formation with dipyrrolylmethene by more than two orders of magnitude. The role of solvation interactions in coordination of dipyrrolylmethene by d-metal ions is established.

The zinc(II) complexes with ortho-hydroxy substituted arylhydrazo-β-diketonates [Zn(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)(μ-L(1))(2)] (5), [Zn{(CH(3))(2)SO}(H(2)O)(L(2))] (6), [Zn(2)(H(2)O)(2)(μ-L(3))(2)] (7) and [Zn(H(2)O)(2)(L(4))]·H(2)O (8) were synthesized by reaction of a zinc(II) salt with the appropriate hydrazo-β-diketone, HO-2-C(6)H(4)-NHN=C{C(=O)CH(3)}(2) (H(2)L(1), 1), HO-2-O(2)N-4-C(6)H(3)-NHN=C{C(=O)CH(3)}(2) (H(2)L(2), 2), HO-2-C(6)H(4)-NHN=CC(=O)CH(2)C(CH(3))(2)CH(2)C(=O) (H(2)L(3), 3) or HO-2-O(2)N-4-C(6)H(3)-NHN=[CC(=O)CH(2)C(CH(3))(2)CH(2)C(=O) (H(2)L(4), 4). They were fully characterized, namely by X-ray diffraction analysis that disclosed the formation of extensive H-bonds leading to 1D chains (5 and 6), 2D layers (7) or 3D networks (8). The thermodynamic parameters of the Zn(II) reaction with H(2)L(2) in solution, as well as of the thermal decomposition of 1-8 were determined. Complexes 5-8 act as diastereoselective catalysts for the nitroaldol (Henry) reaction. The threo/erythro diastereoselectivity of the β-nitroalkanol products ranges from 8:1 to 1:10 with typical yields of 80-99%, depending on the catalyst and substrate used.     

Synthesis, Solution Equilibria and Antibacterial Activity of Co(II) with 2-(Aminomethyl)-Benzimidazole and Dicarboxylic Acids

Formation equilibria of cobalt(II) complexes of 2-(aminomethyl)-benzimidazole (AMBI) and the ternary complexes Co(AMBI)L (L = aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acids) were investigated in aqueous solutions at 25?°C and 0.1 mol?dm^?3 ionic strength. Stoichiometry and stability constants are reported for the complexes formed. The speciation of the complexes was resolved. Values of $\log_{10}\ (K_{\mathrm{Co(AMBI)L}}^{\mathrm{Co(AMBI)}})$ and Δlog?₁₀ K are calculated and discussed. The effect of chelate ring size of the dicarboxylic acid complexes on their stability constants was examined. The effect of temperature on the dissociation constant of AMBI, CBDCA, and the formation constant of Co(AMBI) and Co(AMBI)-CBDCA complexes was studied and the thermodynamic parameters were calculated. Formation of the metal complexes has been found to be spontaneous, exothermic and entropically favorable. The solid complexes of [Co(AMBI)L] (L = oxalic acid, 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid (CBDCAH₂) and malonic acid) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, spectra, magnetic and conductance measurements. Electronic spectra and μ _eff values suggest a tetrahedral geometry for Co(II)-complexes. The isolated metal chelates have been screened for their antibacterial activities and the complexes show a significant antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas fluorescence (Gram ?ve) and Bacillus subtilis (Gram +ve). The activity increases at higher concentration of the compounds.

Radical scavenging and in vitro antifungal activities of Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes of the t-butylphenyl derivative of porphyrazine

Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes and metal-free t-butylphenyl peripherally substituted porphyrazine (Pz) have been screened for in vitro antifungal (Aspergillus niger) and antioxidant (free radical scavenging, superoxide radical scavenging, and reducing power) activities. The results were compared with synthetic antioxidants, e.g., butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), trolox, or α-tocopherol. The free radical scavenging activity of H₂Pz was higher than the CuPz complex. However, CuPz complex showed higher superoxide radical scavenging activity than BHA, BHT, and trolox while H₂Pz and CoPz showed weaker activity than BHA, BHT, and trolox. The reducing power of all complexes was similar to that of BHT and α-tocopherol on a per molar basis. The ligand and complexes have antifungal activity against A. niger. The compounds have significant superoxide radical scavenging activity against various antioxidant systems in vitro.

Stability and Coordination Mode of Complexes of Polyphosphates and Polymetaphosphates with Copper(II) Ions in Aqueous Solution—Potentiometric,Spectral and Theoretical Studies

Complexes of copper(II) with a number of polyphosphate and polymetaphosphate anions have been studied in aqueous solutions by potentiometric, spectroscopic and theoretical methods. Stability constants of the complexes have been determined as well as their coordination modes. Results of the equilibrium studies provided evidence for the formation of ML, MHL and ML(OH) _x type complexes with the ligands studied. The length of the polyphosphate chain was found to affect the oxygen atom charge that is reflected in the stability constants of the ML type complexes. Moreover, the stability of the complex is also influenced by the spatial arrangement of the phosphate groups in phosphates and metaphosphates. The spectral parameters observed for certain complexes have permitted us to deduce the inner coordination sphere of the studied complexes.

Summary The reactions of manganese(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) acetates (1 mole) with antipyrine-4-azo--ethylcyanoacetate (HL¹) and antipyrine-4-azo--acetylacetone (HL²) (1 mole) produce complexes of the M(L)₂ type. K₂PdCl₄ (1 mole) reacts with HL¹ and HL² (1 mole) to yield complexes of the general formula PdLCl, the ligands behaving as monobasic tridentates. The electronic spectral and magnetic data show the complexes to be high-spin octahedral, whereas the palladium(II) complexes are diamagnetic square planar. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductance measurements and i.r. and electronic spectra as well as magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermal (t.g.a. and d.t.a.) analysis.Nuclear Material Authority.
