Antimicrobial efficiency of diorganotin(IV) bis-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylacrylate]

Abstract

Four new diorganotin(IV) carboxylates, [n-Bu₂SnL₂] (1), [Et₂SnL₂] (2), [Me₂SnL₂] (3) and [n-Oct₂SnL₂] (4), where L?=?3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylacrylate, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) and X-ray single crystal analysis for 1. A chelating bidentate ligand and six-coordinate tin centers were confirmed in the solid state by IR for all complexes and for 1 by X-ray single crystal analysis. The NMR study has shown a decrease in the coordination number of tin in solution. The complexes were screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. A compromised lipo/hydrophilicity and a diffusion controlled antimicrobial activity was shown by the complexes in the order 1?>?2>3?>?4. Molecular docking studies have shown hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions for 1 with the target proteins of the antimicrobial strains.     

THE SYNTHESIS,CRYSTAL, MOLECULAR AND ELECTRONIC STRUCTURES OF TRIBROMO(NITROSYL) BIS(TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE OXIDE) RHENIUM(II) AND TRIBROMO(NITROSYL) BIS(TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE)RHENIUM(I)

Abstract

Gaseous nitric oxide reacts with a benzene solution of [ReOBr₃(PPh₃)₂] to give [ReBr₃(NO) (OPPh₃)₂] (1). When the reaction is carried out in the presence of an excess of free triphenyl-phosphine, the product is [ReBr₃(NO)(PPh₃)₂] (2). The latter is also isolated in the reaction of 1 with PPh₃. This paper, apart from the synthetic methods, presents spectroscopic and magneto-chemical measurements, and crystal, molecular and electronic structures for 1 and 2.     

Synthesis and characterization of molybdenum(V,VI) complexes derived from bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)malonoyldihydrazone

Monometallic molybdenum(VI) complexes [MoO₂(CH₂LH₂)]?·?H₂O (1), [Mo₂O₄(CH₂LH₂)₂(A)₂] (A?=?py (2), 2-pic (3), 3-pic (4) and 4-pic (5)) and molybdenum(V) complexes [Mo(CH₂LH₂)(inh)]?·?H₂O (6) and [Mo(CH₂LH₂)(slh)] (7) of bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)malonoyldihydrazone (CH₂LH₄) have been synthesized and characterized by various physico-chemical and spectroscopic studies. The compositions of the complexes have been established by elemental analyses and molecular weight determination. The structural assessment of the complexes has been done on the basis of data obtained from molar conductances, magnetic moment studies, electronic, infrared, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and ¹³C proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies. The molar conductance values for the complexes in DMSO suggest that they are non-electrolytes. The magnetic moment values for 6 and 7 correspond to one unpaired electron while the remaining complexes are diamagnetic. Complexes 1, 6, and 7 have six-coordinate octahedral stereochemistry around molybdenum, while 2–5 are eight-coordinate dodecahedral around the metal centers. EPR spectral features suggest that 7 is less symmetrical than 6.     

PLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES OF P(III) CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

The syntheses of the P(III) analogues of cyclophosphamide, isophosphamide and triphosphamide are reported. These compounds (4–6, respectively) polymerize easily at room temperature but are sufficiently stable in solution to react with Cl₂Pt(NCPh)₂, forming cis-Cl₂Pt(4)₂, cis-Cl₂Pt(5)₂ and cis-Cl₂Pt(6)₂ (complexes 9–11, respectively). Complex 10 can also be made by condensing cis-Cl₂Pt[ClPN(CH₂CH₂Cl)CH₂CH₂CHO]₂ with ClCH₂CH₂NH₂, while an alternate route to 9 and 11 is afforded by the condensation of cis-Cl₂Pt[Cl₂PN(CH₂CH₂Cl)₂]₂ with H₂NCH₂CH₂CH₂OH and ClCH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂CH₂OH, respectively. Complexes 9–11 exist in two diastereomeric configurations and these can be separated in the cases of 9 and 11 by column chromatography. ³¹P NMR spectral data for the complexes are discussed and the results of NCl antitumor screening are presented.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Schiff Bases 2-(2-(2-(Aryl)Methyleneamino)Phenylthio) Ethylthio)-N-((aryl)Methylene)Benzeneamine

A series of Schiff bases containing four to six coordination sites N₂S₂ X₂(X = O,N) 2-(2-(2-(aryl)methyleneamino)phenylthio)ethylthio)-N-((aryl)methylene)benzeneamine (2c–f) were prepared from the reaction of 1,2-di(2-aminophenylthio)ethane (1) with aromatic aldehydes. All compounds were characterized by means IR, mass, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, and in the case of 2b with a single crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray crystal structure of 2b showed that the resonance occurs between aromatic rings, through the C=N bonds of the molecule.

Bis(tetraethylammonium) tetrabromocobaltate(II) and bis(tetrabutylammonium) tetrabromomanganate(II): structure and magnetic properties

The crystal structures of tetrabromocobaltate(II) and tetrabromomanganate(II) salts of general formula [(C₂H₅)₄N]₂[CoBr₄] (1) and [(C₄H₉)₄N]₂[MnBr₄] (2) were determined. The manganese and cobalt cations are four-coordinated by bromide anions and they adopt a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination. In the structure of both compounds there are neither hydrogen bonds nor any unusual short-range intermolecular interactions. Magnetic measurements of the powdered samples gave negative values of the Weiss constants equal to −4.9 and −1.1 K for (1) and (2), respectively, which suggest antiferromagnetic interactions to be transferred within the crystal lattice.

Abstract

The synthesis and properties of new cationic iron(II) complexes of general formula [(η⁵-C₅H₅)FeL(η²-dppa)]A [A=I^?, L = CO(1); A = BF₄, L = CO(2) CH₃CN(4), η¹-dppa(5); dppa = NH(PPh₂)₂] are described. The carbonyl complex [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(η²-dppa)]BF₄ is deprotonated to give the neutral complex [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO){η²-(PPh₂)₂N}](3). All complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and IR and NMR spectroscopies. Cyclic voltammetry of complexes 1–5 shows a diverse redox chemistry in acetonitrile solution. While the reduction of 1 and 2 leads to the formation of a dinuclear Fe(I) complex, 4 and 5 form mononuclear species of Fe(I); oxidation of metal centers of 1 and 2 is not observed and in complexes 3 and 4 the metal centers are oxidized at potentials < 1. Complex 5 in acetonitrile solution is transformed into complex 4.

Under hydrothermal conditions, H₂pdh is generated by an in situ acylation of H₂pda (H₂pda =?pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid) with hydrazine hydrate. Complex 1 features a 2D layer structure constructed by a dinuclear Cd(II) building block. In complexes 2 and 3, hydrogen bonding interactions connect mononuclear structures into 3D supramolecular frameworks.

The compounds under study were characterized by IR, electronic spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. The molecular structure of both Complexes 1 and 2 is mononuclear. The coordination environment around each copper(II) atom is a distorted tetragonal bipyramid.

Reactions of copper(I) halides (X = Cl, Br, I) with thiophene-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone and triphenylphosphine in 1 : 1 : 2 molar ratio yield tetrahedral mononuclear complexes, [CuX(η¹-S-Httsc)(Ph₃P)₂] (X = Cl, 1; Br, 2; I, 3), characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P), and single crystal X-ray crystallography (1). The unit cell of 1 has two independent distorted tetrahedral molecules (1a and 1b) with different bond parameters. One acetonitrile is entrapped between them. Crystal data: C₈₆H₇₇Cl₂Cu₂N₇P₄S₄ 1: triclinic, P-1, a = 12.8810(9), b = 18.5049(13), c = 18.7430(13) Å, α = 63.7130(10), β = 89.0960(10), γ = 85.5010(10)°, V = 3992.4(5) ų, Z = 2, R _(int) = 0.0314. Bond parameters: 1a, Cu(1A)–Cl(1A), 2.3803(5); Cu(1A)–S(1A), 2.3822(5); Cu(1A)–P(1A), 2.2498(5) Å; P(1A)–Cu(1A)–P(2A), 124.294(19)°; 1b, Cu(1B)–Cl(1B), 2.3975(5); Cu(1B)–S(1B), 2.3756(5); Cu(1B)–P(1B), 2.2777(5) Å; P(1B)–Cu(1B)–P(2B), 127.156(19)°.     

SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURES OF DICHLOROTETRAKIS-(PHENYLTHIOUREA) CADMIUM(II) AND CATENA-BIS(THIOCYANATE) BIS(PHENYLTHIOUREA)CADMIUM(II)

Abstract

Two new cadmium(II) complexes with phenylthiourea (PTU), namely Cd(PTU)₄Cl₂ (1) and [Cd₂(NCS)₂(μ₂-SCN)₂(PTU)₂(μ₂-PTU)₂] _n (2), have been prepared and characterized structurally by X-ray diffaction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 27.057(13), b = 8.108(3), c = 16.751(8) Å, β = 114.46°, V = 3345(3) ų, Z = 4. Complex 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with a = 9.336(3), b = 14.686(5), c = 16.911(5) Å, α = 71.36(2), β = 84.31(2), γ = 72.470(10)°, V = 2095.0(12) ų Z = 4. The structural analysis shows that each metal atom in both the mononuclear complex 1 and polynuclear complex 2 is octahedrally coordinated by four sulfur atoms and two chloro ligands or two nitrogen atoms from the thiocyanate groups, respectively. The PTU ligand can serve as either a monodentate ligand or a μ₂-bridging ligand upon coordination to a metal atom.     

(18-Crown-6)potassium 0.84(diiodobromide) 0.16(dibromoiodide) and diaqua(18-Crown-6)chlororubidium: Syntheses and crystal structures

New host-guest compounds are synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction analysis: (18-crown-6) potassium 0.84(diiodobromide) 0.16(dibromoiodide), [K(18-crown-6)]⁺ · (Br_1.16I_1.84)⁻, (I) and diaqua (18-crown-6)chlororubidium, [RbCl(18-crown-6)(H₂O)₂], (II). The crystals of compound I are monoclinic (space group P2₁/n, a = 9.157 ?, b = 8.589 ?, c = 14.072 ?, β = 102.27°, Z = 2). The structure of compound II is orthorhombic (space group Pnma, a = 9.813 ?, b = 15.231 ?, c = 12.629 ?, Z = 4). The structures are solved by a direct method and refined by the full-matrix anisotropic least squares to R = 0.062 (I) and 0.079 (II) for 3149 (I) and 2840 (II) independent reflections (CAD-4 automated diffractometer, λMoK _α radiation). The crystal structures of compounds I and II are different: compound I is built of infinite chains of the alternating cations [K(18-crown-6)]⁺ and mixed halide anions linked by weak coordination bonds K-Br or K-I, whereas individual molecules [RbCl(18-crown-6)(H₂O)₂] form structure II.

Synthesis,structure and properties of three one-dimensional coordination polymers {[M(II)L(NCS)2](DMF)2} n (M(II)=cadmium(II), zinc(II), manganese(II); L=1,4-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazolato]butane)

A tetradentate N-donor ligand 1,4-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazolato]butane (L) was prepared for construction of a coordination framework. Three one-dimensional coordination polymers {[M(II)L(NCS)₂](DMF)₂} _n (M(II) = cadmium(II), 1, zinc(II), 2, manganese(II), 3) were obtained by reaction of metal ions and L in the presence of KSCN in DMF/water. The complexes are isostructural and consist of 1D zigzag [M(II)L(NCS)₂] _n chains and DMF molecules. Within the chains, the metal atoms are each octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms of L and two N atoms of the SCN^? anions. Complexes 1 and 2 in the solid state at room temperature exhibit intense photoluminescence at 453 and 433 nm, respectively.     

Structural motifs of Au(I)-Cu(I) N-heterocyclic carbene halide complexes

A series of Au(I)–Cu(I) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) halide complexes [AuCu₂(im(CH₂py)₂)₂X]²⁺ where X?=?Cl (1), Br (2), I (3) was prepared by refluxing [AuCu₂(im(CH₂py)₂)₂(NCCH₃)₄]³⁺ with the appropriate halide in acetonitrile. The compounds were characterized by NMR, absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy. They feature similar solution behavior and solid-state photoemissions. The solid-state structures feature a rhomboidal [AuCu₂X]²⁺ core which is influenced by the type of halide. Compared to other Au(I)–Cu(I) NHC complexes, 1–3 comprise a new structural motif containing a bridging halide. The benzimidazolium analog of 1 was also characterized crystallographically. The structure of [AuCu₂(benzim(CH₂py)₂)₂Cl]²⁺(4) features different coordination modes of the NHC ligands with the carbenic carbon bonded to both gold and copper and the pyridyl groups bonded to the same copper(I) ion.     

One-dimensional zinc(II) fumarate coordination polymers

A new procedure developed for the synthesis and crystallization of various zinc(II) fumarate hydrate coordination polymers is described. In the first step, anhydrous Zn(II) fumarate, [Zn(C₄H₂O₄)] (1), is synthesized from Zn(II) acetate and fumaric acid in methanol. Subsequently, this product is used as a starting material for growing small crystals of bis–aqua Zn(II) fumarate, [Zn(H₂O)₂(C₄H₂O₄)] (2), triaqua Zn(II) fumarate monohydrate, [Zn(H₂O)₃(C₄H₂O₄)]·H₂O (3), tetraaqua Zn(II) fumarate, [Zn(H₂O)₄(C₄H₂O₄)] (4), and tetraaqua Zn(II) fumarate monohydrate, [Zn(H₂O)₄(C₄H₂O₄)]·H₂O (5). All structures were determined or redetermined by X-ray structure analyses. The hitherto unknown compound 3 exhibits a zig-zag chain structure with five-coordinate Zn(II) ions.     

Complexes of Co(II) and Zn(II) with N-(Thio)phosphorylthioureas AdNHC(S)NHP(O)(OiPr)2 and MeNHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)2

The reaction of the potassium salt of the N-(thio)phosphorylated thioureas AdNHC(S)NHP(O)(OiPr)₂ (HL^I , Ad = Adamantyl) and MeNHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)₂ (HL^II ) with Co(II) and Zn(II) in aqueous EtOH leads to [ML^I,II ₂] chelate complexes. They were investigated by UV-vis, ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, and microanalysis. The molecular structures of [ML^I ₂] were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The metal centers in both complexes are found to be in a distorted-tetrahedral O₂S₂ environment formed by the C=S sulfur atoms and the P=O oxygen atoms of two deprotonated L^I ligands. The photoluminescence properties of [ZnL^II ₂] are also reported.     

Structures of Mn(II) complexes of bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (bpa) and (2-pyridylmethyl)(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)amine (Mebpa): geometric isomerism in the solid state

The crystal structures of [Mn(bpa)₂](ClO₄)₂ (1), [bpa?=?bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine], and Mn(6-Mebpa)₂(ClO₄)₂ (2), [6-Mebpa?=?(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)amine] have been determined. In 1, two facial [Mn(bpa)₂]²⁺ isomers are observed in the same unit cell, one with C _i (1a) and the other with C₂ (1b) symmetries. In 2, only the isomer with C₂ symmetry is observed. The structure of [Mn(bpa)₂]²⁺ with only C₂ symmetry has been reported previously (Inorg. Chem., 31, 4611 (1992)). The bond length order Mn–N_amine?>?Mn–N_pyridyl, observed in the C₂ and the C _i isomers in the crystals of 1, is the reverse of the order observed in the structure of [Mn(bpa)₂](ClO₄)₂ which contains only the C₂ isomer in the unit cell. The structure of 2 in which only the C₂ isomer is found, also shows the bond length order Mn–N_pyridyl?>?Mn–N_amine. In cyclic voltammetric experiments in acetonitrile solutions, 1 and 2 show irreversible anodic peaks at E _p?=?1.60 and 1.90?V respectively, (vs. Ag/AgCl), assigned to the oxidation of Mn(II) to Mn(III). The substantially higher oxidation potential of 2 is attributable to a higher rearrangement energy in complex 2 due to the steric effect of the methyl substituent.     

Syntheses of phenoxo-bridged Zn(II) and metallamacrocyclic Hg(II) complexes of organochalcogen (Se,Te) substituted Schiff-bases: structure and DNA-binding studies of Zn(II) complexes

The coordination of organochalcogen (especially Se and Te) substituted Schiff-bases L¹H, L²H, L³H, and L⁴H toward Zn(II) and Hg(II) has been studied. Reactions of these ligands with ZnCl₂ in 1?:?1 molar ratio gave binuclear complexes [{2-[PhX(CH₂) _n N?=?C(Ph)]-6-[PhCO]-4-MeC₆H₂O}₂Zn₂Cl₂] (where X?=?Se, n?=?2 (1); X?=?Se, n?=?3 (2); X?=?Te, n?=?2 (3); and X?=?Te, n?=?3 (4)) with partial hydrolytic cleavage of proligands. In these complexes, two partially hydrolyzed ligand fragments coordinate tridentate (NOO) with two Zn's. Reaction of HgBr₂ with L¹H and L²H in 1?:?1 molar ratio gave monometallic complexes [C₆H₂(4-Me)(OH)[2,6-{C(Ph)?=?N(CH₂) _n Se(Ph)}₂HgBr₂]] (n?=?2 (5) or 3 (6)) and under similar conditions with L³H and L⁴H gave bimetallic complexes [C₆H₂(4-Me)(OH)[2,6-{C(Ph)?=?N(CH₂) _n Te(Ph)}₂Hg₂Br₄]] (n?=?2?(7) or 3 (8)) in which the ligands coordinate with metal through selenium or tellurium, leaving the imino nitrogen and phenolic oxygen uncoordinated. The proligands L¹H, L²H give 14- or 16-membered metallamacrocycles through Se–Hg–Se linkages and L³H, L⁴H give 16- or 18-membered metallamacrocycles through Te–Hg–Br–Hg–Te linkages. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, ESIMS, FTIR, multinuclear NMR, UV-Vis, and conductance measurements. The redox properties of the complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Complexes 1–4 exhibited ligand-centered irreversible oxidation processes. Complexes 5 and 6 showed metal-centered quasi-reversible single electron transfer, whereas dinuclear complexes 7 and 8 displayed two quasi-reversible, one-electron transfer steps. A single-crystal X-ray structure determination of 1 showed that the coordination unit is centrosymmetric with Zn(II) in square-pyramidal coordination geometry and the two square pyramids sharing an edge. The Zn?···?Zn separation is 3.232?Å. The DNA-binding properties of 1 and 3 with calf thymus DNA were explored by a spectrophotometric method and CV.     

U(VI) and Zn(II) coordination complexes with 5-[N-acetato(4-pyridyl)]tetrazolate anions

A U(VI) mononuclear coordination complex [UO₂(a4-ptz)₂·(H₂O)₃] (1) and a Zn(II) 1-D coordination polymer [Zn(a4-ptz)₂·(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O (2) have been synthesized with 5-[N-acetato(4-pyridyl)]tetrazolate (a4-ptz) as ligand. Complex 1 has a slightly distorted pentagonal bipyramid around each U center. Complex 2 is octahedral with four a4-ptz and two water ligands. Each Zn center is linked by carboxylate-O(1) and tetrazolate-N(2) of a4-ptz forming a 1-D polymeric chain. Complexes 1 and 2 are self-assembled to form 3-D supramolecular structures through hydrogen bonds. The luminescence properties of 1 and 2 were investigated at room temperature in the solid state. The results suggest that 1 and 2 may be useful as photoactive materials.     

Syntheses,characterizations and crystal structures of two new complexes, [Co2(CH2 =C(CH3)CO2)4(phen)2(H2O)2] and [Pb2(CH2 =C(CH3)CO2)4(phen)2]

Two new complexes, [Co₂(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₄(phen)₂(H₂O)₂] (1) and [Pb₂(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₄(phen)₂] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (2), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. There are two cocrystallized conformers of [Co(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₂(phen)(H₂O)] in the asymmetric unit of 1 with the Co atoms displaying similar coordination modes. In the asymmetric unit of 2, there exist two crystallographically independent [Pb(CH₂=C(CH₃)CO₂)₂(phen)] molecules with the Pb atoms showing completely different coordination geometries. Weak intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking are responsible for the supramolecular assembly and stabilization of the crystal structures of 1 and 2. The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and UV–Vis spectra. The fluorescent properties of 2 are also discussed.
