Ligational behaviour of biacetylmonoxime-o-aminobenzoylhydrazone (H2BMAB) towards some dipositive metal ions

Summary Several new dipositive metal complexes with the hydrazoneoxime, derived from biacetylmonoxime ando-aminobenzoylhydrazine, have been synthesized and their structures elucidated by elemental analyses, conductivities, spectra (visible, i.r. and n.m.r.), magnetic and molecular weight measurements. The i.r. spectra show that the ligand, (H₂BMAB), behaves in a bidentate and tridentate manner. The stereochemistry of the cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes is discussed. The cobalt(III) complex, [Co(BMAB)OH]_n, has also been isolated and characterized by conventional physical and chemical measurements and on the basis of molecular weight determination is probably a polymer, whereas the remaining complexes are monomers. I.r. and n.m.r. data suggest that the cobalt(III) complex contains hydroxo-bridge linking.     

Reactions ofN-trimethylsilyl-imidazole and-2-methylimidazole with anhydrous CoCl2 and [Co(Ph3P)2Cl2]; synthesis and physicochemical studies on two-coordinate cobalt(II) complexes

Summary Reactions ofN-trimethylsilylimidazole andN-trimethyl-silyl-2-methylimidazole with CoCl₂ yield chloro(imidazolato)cobalt(II), (1), or chloro(2-methylimidazolato)-cobalt(II), (2). However, the corresponding reactions of [Co(Ph₃P)₂Cl₂] cause total removal of Ph₃P along with the substitution of both the chlorine atoms yielding bis(imidazolato)cobalt(II), (3), or bis(2-methylimidazolato)cobalt(II), (4), in the form of light blue microcrystalline solids. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight, and magnetic susceptibility measurements, and i.r., reflectance and electronic spectra. The results are consistent with formulations as rare examples of two-coordinate cobalt(II) derivatives.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed     

Studies on mixed ligand complexes,part 4. Cobalt(III) heterochelates containing trimethylenediamine and some bidentate NN,NO and OO donor ligands

Summary A series of new diamagnetic cobalt(Ill) mixed ligand complexes having general formula [Co(AA)(tn)₂]ⁿ⁺ (where AA = biguanide, picolinic acid, acetoacetanilide, benzoylacetanilide,m-nitrobenzoylacetanilide, acetylacetone,N-benzoylphenylhydroxylamine and malonic acid, tn = trimethylenediamine and n = 1–3) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, electronic spectra, i.r. spectra, equivalent weight and magnetic measurements.

Spectral,physicochemical and biological characterization of 2,5,11,14,19,20-hexaaza-3,12-dimethyl-4,13-dipropyl-tricyclo [13.3.1.1(6-10)]cosane-1(19),2,4,6(20),7,9,11,13,15,17-decaene and its transition metal complexes

The synthesis of a tetradentate nitrogen donor macrocyclic ligand i.e. 2,5,11,14,19,20-hexaaza-3,12-dimethyl-4,13-dipropyl-tricyclo[13.3.1.1(6-10)]cosane-1(19),2,4,6(20),7,9,11,13,15,17-decaene and its complexes with manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) have been reported. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, ¹H-n.m.r. (Ligand), i.r., electronic, and e.p.r. spectral studies. On the basis of molar conductance the complexes may be formulated as [M(L)X₂] [where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), and X = Cl⁻ & NO ₃⁻ ] due to their nonelectrolytic nature in dimethylformamide (DMF). All the complexes are of the high spin type and are six coordinated. On the basis of i.r., electronic and e.p.r. spectral studies an octahedral geometry has been deduced for Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, and tetragonal geometry for Cu(II) complexes. The antimicrobial activities of the ligand and its complexes, as growth inhibiting agents, have been screened in vitro against several species of bacteria and plant pathogenic fungi.     

Spectral and magnetic studies on normal cobalt(II) planar and cobalt(III) octahedral, spin-crossover cobalt(III) octahedral and planar-tetrahedral cobalt(II) carbodithioates

Five cobalt(II) complexes, a normal complex Co(4-PPipzcdt)₂ (4-PPipzcdt = 4-phenylpiperazine-1-carbodithioate), and four zwitterionic complexes, Co(4-PPipzcdtH)₂X₂ and Co(4-MPipzcdtH)₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br; 4-PPipzcdtH = 4-phenylpiperazine-1-carbodithioic acid, 4-MPipzcdtH = 4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioic acid), have been synthesized. Normal cobalt(III) complexes of the type Co(4-MPipzcdt)₃ and Co₂ {2-MPipz(cdt)₂}₃ (2-MPipz(cdt)₂ = 2-methylpiperazine-1,4-dicarbodithioate) and two zwitterionic cobalt(III) complexes of the type Co(4-MPipzcdtH)₃X₃ (X = Cl, Br) have also been obtained. In addition to the room temperature IR and electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility studies, all the complexes, except the normal Co(4-MPipzcdt)₃ and Co(4-PPipzcdt)₂ and zwitterionic Co(4-MPipzcdtH)₃Cl₃, have been investigated by variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. The results of the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies suggest that two cobalt(II) carbodithioates exhibit a square planar-tetrahedral equilibrium, while two cobalt(III) octahedral carbodithioates show a spin-crossover phenomenon.     

Co-ordination compounds of diacetyldihydrazone and diacetylbis(monomethylhydrazone)

Summary Diacetyldihydrazone (DADH) forms only six-coordinate complexes with iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II). In M(DADH)₂X₂ (M=Fe, X=Br or I; M=Co, X=I; M=Ni, X=Cl, Br or NCS) the ligand is chelating in the [M(DADH)₃]²⁺ cations, while in M(DADH)₂X₂ (M=Co, X=Cl or Br; M=Ni, X=Cl or Br) the ligand is probably bridging and bidentate. Diacetylbismonomethylhydrazone (DAMH), by contrast, forms predominantly tetrahedral complexes M(DAMH)X₂ (M=Fe or Co, X=Cl or Br; M=Ni, X=Br; M=Co, X=NCS; M=Zn, X=Cl, Br or NCS) and some octahedral complexes M(DAMH)₂X₂ (M=Co, X=NCS; M=Ni, X=Br). The i.r. spectra, electronic spectra and magnetic moments of the complexes are discussed.     

1:4 Complexes of cobalt(II) azide with pyridine derivative ligands. X-ray crystal structure of trans-diazidotetrakis(4-benzoylpyridine) cobalt(II)

A new series of CoL₄(N₃)₂ complexes (L = 4-Et, 4-PhCO and 3-hydroxypyridine) has been prepared and characterized and their i.r. and electronic spectra is reported and discussed. The structure of Co(4-benzoylpyridine)₄(N₃)₂, as determined by X-ray crystallography, consists of discrete monomers molecules with a trans-six-coordinated cobalt(II) environment. The terminal azides are almost linear and asymmetric within the experimental error.     

Synthesis and characterization of nickel(II), cobalt(II), copper(II), manganese(II), zinc(II), zirconium(IV), dioxouranium(VI) and dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of a new Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and 5-methylpyrazole-3-carbohydrazide

Summary Synthesis of a new Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and 5-methylpyrazole-3-carbohydrazide, and its coordination compounds with nickel(II), cobalt(II), copper(II), manganese(II), zinc(II), zirconium(IV), dioxouranium(VI) and dioxomolybdenum(VI) are described. The ligand and the complexes have been characterized on the basis of analytical, conductance, molecular weight, i.r., electronic and n.m.r. spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The stoichiometries of the complexes are represented as NiL · 3H₂O, CoL · 2H₂O, CuL, MnL · 2H₂O, ZnL · H₂O, Zr(OH)₂(LH)₂, Zr(OH)₂L · 2MeOH, UO₂L · MeOH and MoO₂L · MeOH (where LH₂ = Schiff base). The copper(II) complex shows a subnormal magnetic moment due to antiferromagnetic exchange interaction while the nickel(II), cobalt(II) and manganese (II) complexes show normal magnetic moments at room temperature. The i.r. and n.m.r. spectral studies show that the Schiff base behaves as a dibasic and tridentate ligand coordinating through the deprotonated phenolic.oxygen, enolic oxygen and azomethine nitrogen.     

Transition metall complexes of amidinourea and related ligands. II. Tetrahedral Cobalt(II) Complexes with O-propyl-1-amidinoureas

New cobalt(II) complexes of the formula [Co(AA)₂]X₂ (where AA = O-n-propyl-1-amidinourea and O-iso-propylamidinourea, X = Cl or Br) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectra. The complexes are all violet in colour and posses magnetic moments in the range 4.4–4.5 BM. Electronic spectral and magnetic data identify the complexes as tetrahedral ones. Tetrahedral complexes can only be prepared with O-alkyl-1-amidinoureas containing higher alkyl groups. The electronic spectral data indicate the strong field character of these ligands.     

Synthesis and characterization of cobalt(II) and iron(III) complexes with the Schiff bases:N-(p-methylbenzylidene)-2-aminobenzimidazole andN-(benzylidene)-2-(2′-aminophenyl)-benzimidazole

Summary Reactions of CoX₂ (X=Cl, Br or NCS) and FeCl₃ with the Schiff bases:N-(p-methylbenzylidene)-2-aminobenzimidazole (pmbabi) andN-(benzylidene)-2-(2-aminophenyl) benzimidazole (bapbi) yield complexes of general formula CoL₂X₂ [except for Co(bapbi)(NCS)₂] and FeLCl₃. All complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, i.r. spectroscopy conductivity and magnetic measurements at different temperatures; solid state and solution electronic spectra are reported for cobalt(II) complexes. The results show that the latter are pseudotetrahedral, the ligand acting as monodentate, except for Co(bapbi) (NCS)₂. On the other hand, the iron compounds probably contain pentacoordinated metal.     

β-diketone complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and palladium(II)

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.     

Synthesis and physico-chemical studies on cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of benzidine diacetyloxime

The synthesis of benzidine diacetyloxime (H₂L) and its cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes is described. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic moments, i.r., u.v.–vis. spectra, t.g.a. and e.s.r. measurements. I.r. spectra show that H₂L behaves as a neutral or dinegative ligand depending on the nature of the metal salts. The molar conductances of the complexes in DMF are commensurate with their non-ionic character. The e.s.r. spectrum of the solid copper(II) complex (7) at room temperature shows broad signal, indicating spin-exchange interactions between copper(II) ions. However, in TMHF solution at 77 K, it shows an axial type ground state with mixed ionic-covalent bond character.     

Synthesis, Spectral Characterization and Electrochemical Properties of New vic-dioxime Complexes Bearing Carboxylate

Three new vic-dioxime ligands, [N-(ethyl-4-amino-1-piperidine carboxylate)-phenylglyoxime (L¹H₂), N-(ethyl-4-amino-1-piperidine carboxylate)-glyoxime (L²H₂), and N,N′-bis(ethyl-4-amino-1-piperidine carboxylate)-glyoxime (L³H₂)], and their Co(II) with Cu(II) metal complexes, were synthesized for the first time. Mononuclear complexes of these ligands with a 1:2 metal-ligand ratio were prepared with Co(II) and Cu(II) salts. The BF₂⁺-capped Co(II) and mononuclear complexes of the vic-dioxime were prepared for [Co(L¹·BF₂)₂] and [Co(L²·BF₂)₂]. The ligands act in a polydentate fashion bonding through nitrogen atoms in the presence of a base, as do most vic-dioximes. The cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes are non-electrolytes as shown by their molar conductivities (Λ_M) in DMF. The structures of the ligands and complexes were determined by elemental analyses, FT-i.r., u.v.–vis., ¹H- and ¹³C-n.m.r. spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and molar conductivity. The comparative electrochemical studies show that the stabilities of the reduced or oxidized species and the electrode potentials of the complexes are affected by the substituents attached on the oxime moieties of the complexes.     

Triphenylphosphineoxide nitrosyl complexes of molybdenum

Summary The tetramethylthiourea (TMTU) complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) halides have been studied in the solid state by electronic, i.r. and far i.r. spectroscopy and magnetochemically. The tetrahedral Co(TMTU)₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br, 1) and Ni(TMTU)₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br) complexes have normal magnetic moments, electronic spectra and crystal field parameters; Ni₂ (TMTU)₃I₄ is diamagnetic. The cobalt complexes have normal (CoX) and (CoX) vibrational frequencies. Ni(TMTU)₂Cl₂ and Ni₂(TMTU)₃I₄ have (NiX) frequencies corresponding to long or bridging Ni-X bonds, while Ni(TMTU)₂Br₂ has normal (NiBr) frequencies for terminal Ni-Br bonds. The (MS) frequencies are similar to those of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of other thioureas.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 2. The4 N-dimethyl derivative

Summary Metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone,N-dimethyl-2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide (HL4DM) have been prepared and characterized spectrally. HL4DM coordinates primarily as the deprotonated tridentate ligand (i.e., pyrïdylN, azomethineN, and thione sulphur). In contrast to related thiosemicarbazones, oxidation to cobalt(III) does not occur during complex formation with cobalt(II) halides. Oxidation does occur on reflux with ethanolic Co(BF₄)₂, but we isolated a planar cobalt(II) complex as well. Only with the tetrafluoroborate salts of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) are complexes isolated containing the neutral thiosemicarbazone. Square planar [Ni(L4DM)X]complexes where X=Cl, Br, and OH have been isolated and e.s.r. spectra of a 1% Cu/Ni complex are compared to the results of other workers.     

Acetone picolinoyl hydrazone complexes of some first row transition metal ions

Summary Acetone picolinoyl hydrazone (APH) complexes of the types M(APH)Cl₂nEtOH and M(APH-H)₂2EtOH (where M = manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), or copper(II); n = 0 or 2) have been prepared and their nature and structures studied by molar conductance, molecular weight determination, thermal degradation, magnetic susceptibility, electronic and i.r. spectral measurements. Spin-free octahedral geometry has been proposed for all the complexes except Mn(APH)Cl₂ and Co(APH)Cl₂ for which tetrahedral geometry has been suggested.     

Cobalt(II) Chloride Complex Formation in Acetamide–Calcium Nitrate Tetrahydrate Melts

The absorption spectra of Co(II) chloride complexes, containing variable concentrations of chloride ligand, in a molten mixture of 80 mol% acetamide–20 mol% calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, were studied at 313, 333, 353, and 363 K, in the wavelength range 400-800 nm. The melt contains three possible ligands (CH₃CONH₂, H₂O, and NO₃ ^-) for competition with added chloride ligand. Addition of chloride caused a shift of the absorption maximum of octahedral cobalt(II) nitrate towards lower energies and pronounced changes in the shape of the initial spectrum of cobalt(II) nitrate. The effect of temperature changes on the molar absorption coefficient of the Co(II) species was dependent on the chloride concentration and was attributed to the structural changes occurring in the cobalt(II) species. The STAR and STAR FA programs were applied to identify the complex ionic species and to calculate the stability constants of Co(II) complexes formed in this solvent. The results indicate the highest probability of formation of the following complex species: Co(NO₃)₄ ^2-, Co(NO₃)₂Cl₂ ^2-, and CoCl₄ ^2-. Stability constants of each complex were presented for the equilibria occurring at 313, 333, 353, and 363 K. Distribution of the Co(II) species was also calculated over the ranges of chloride concentration and temperature investigated.     

X-ray photoelectron spectra and structure of cobalt compounds with N-heterocyclic ligands

The electronic structure of cobalt complexes with bi-, tri-, and tetradentate ligands and the mutual influence of ligands in them have been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Co2p, N1s, and O1s photoelectron spectra have been studied. Unlike low-spin Co(III) complexes, the high-spin Co(II) compound exhibits a strong satellite line in the Co2p spectrum. For the high-spin Co(II) compound having unpaired 3d electrons, the Co2p _1/2-Co2p _3/2 spin-orbit splitting is larger than that in the low-spin Co(III) complexes. All cobalt complexes under consideration contain strongly bound dioxygen, which can be considered an inherent structural unit.     

Diazabutadiene cobalt(II) complexes

Summary Studies on the chelates of cobalt(II) with the bidentate ligands 1,4-diphenyl(2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazabutadiene) (PMB) and 1,4-di(p-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazabutadiene (MPMB) have been carried out. On the basis of elemental analyses, the complexes are [Co(PMB)Cl₂], [Co(PMB)₂(C1O₄)₂], [Co(MPMB)Cl₂] and [Co(MPMB)₂(ClO₄)₂].Both ligands are bidentatevia nitrogen atoms in all the complexes. The magnetic susceptibility and i.r. and u.v.-visible spectra are reported and discussed. The chloro-compounds involving two chlorine ligands and, in the perchlorate compounds, the ClO ₄ ^– groups are bound to the cobalt(II) centre.     

Cobalt(II) complexes of various thiosemicarbazones of 4-aminoantipyrine: syntheses,spectral, thermal and antimicrobial studies

An interesting series of cobalt(II) complexes of the new ligands: 4[N-(benzalidene)amino]antipyrinethiosemicarbazone (BAAPTS), 4[N-(2′-hydroxy-benzalidene)amino]antipyrinethiosemicarbazone (HBAAPTS) and 4[N-(2′-hydroxy-1′-naphthalidene)amino]antipyrinethiosemicarbazone (HNAAPTS) were synthesized by reaction with Co(II) salts in ethanol. The general stoichiometry of the complexes was found to be [CoX₂(H₂O)(L)] and [Co(L)₂](ClO₄)₂, where X = Cl, NO₃, NCS or CH₃COO and L = BAAPTS, HBAAPTS or HNAAPTS. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurement, molecular weight determination, magnetic moments at room temperature, infrared and electronic spectra. All the thiosemicarbazones behave as neutral tridentate (N, N, S) donor ligands. The conductivity measurements in PhNO₂ solution indicated that the chloro, nitrato, thiocyanato and acetate complexes are essentially non-electrolytes, while the perchlorate complexes are 1:2 electrolytes. Thermogravimetric studies were performed for some representative complexes and the decomposition mechanism proposed. Antibacterial and antifungal properties of the ligands and their cobalt(II) complexes have also been examined and it has been observed that the complexes are more potent bactericides than the ligand.
