The thermal properties of the Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes of glycine were determined using TG, DTG and DSC techniques. The complexes, MGly₂·nH₂O (n = 1, 2), dehydrated in the temperature range of 75 to 200°C, followed by the decomposition of the anhydrous compounds in the temperature range of 200 to 400°C. The thermal stability of the complexes, as determined by procedural decomposition temperatures, was: Ni(II) >Co(II) >Cu(II).     

Mononuclear and polynuclear chelates of picolinoyldithiocarbazate

Mononuclear and polynuclear chelates of potassium picolinoyldithiocarbazate (KHPcDC) with Mn(II), Fe(ll1), Fe(II), Co(Il), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Pd(II) and U(VI)O2 have been prepared and characterized by chemical and thermal (TG, DTG, DTA) analyses, molar conductivities, spectral (UV-Visible, IR, NMR, ESR) and magnetic moment measurements. The molar conductivities of the complexes lie in the non-electrolyte range whilst KHPcDC is a 1:1 electrolyte. Changes in selected vibrational absorption of the ligand upon coordination indicate that KHPcDC behaves as monoanionic and coordinates in a bidentate, tridentate and/or bridging tetradentate manner. Trans-form structure is proposed for [Pd(HPcDC)2] x 2H20 and [Cd(HPcDC)2] complexes on the basis of NMR data. An octahedral structure is proposed for Fe(III), Fe(II) and Ni(II) complexes, a square-planar structure for Co(II) and Pd(II) complexes and a tetragonally distorted octahedral structure for the Cu(II) chelate on the basis of spectroscopic and magnetic data. The ligand field parameters (B, Dq, beta) for the Fe(III) and Ni(II) chelates were calculated. TG, DTG and DTA studies support the different modes of chelation of KHPcDC. The solid metal acetate chelates have a unique decomposition exotherm profile which can be used as a rapid and sensitive tool for the detection of acetate-containing complexes.     

Syntheses and spectrothermal studies of triethanolamine complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) squarates

The triethanolamine complexes, [M(tea)₂]sq·nH₂O, (n=2 for Co(II), n=0 for Ni(II), Cu(II) and n=1 for Cd(II), tea=triethanolamine, sq²⁻=squarate), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements, UV-Vis and IR spectra, and thermal analyses techniques (TG, DTG and DTA). The Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes possess octahedral geometry, while the Cd(II) complex is monocapped trigonal prismatic geometry. Dianionic squarate behaves as a counter ion in the complexes. The thermal decomposition of these complexes takes place in three stages: (i) dehydration, (ii) release of the tea ligands and (iii) burning of organic residue. On the basis of the first DTG_max of the decomposition, the thermal stability of the anhydrous complexes follows the order: Ni(II), 289°C>Co(II), 230°C>Cu(II), 226°C>Cu(II), 170°C in static air atmosphere. The final decomposition products — the respective metal oxides — were identified by FTIR spectroscopy.

Synthesis,characterization, and biological activity of some transition metal complexes with Schiff base ligands derived from 4-amino-5-phenyl-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and salicaldehyde

Abstract  

The coordination behaviour of a Schiff base with SNO donation sites, derived from condensation of 4-amino-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and salicaldehyde, towards some bi- and trivalent metal ions, namely Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II) (Cl, ClO₄), Ni(II) (Cl, ClO₄), Cu(II), and Zn(II), is reported. The metal complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, and thermal analyses (TG, DTG, and DTA). The ionization constant of the Schiff base under investigation and the stability constants of its metal chelates were calculated pH-metrically at 25 °C and ionic strength μ = 0.1 M in 50% (v/v) ethanol–water mixture. The chelates were found to have octahedral (Mn(II)), trigonal bipyramidal (Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II)), and tetrahedral (Cr(III), Fe(III), and Cu(II)) structures. The ligand and its binary chelates were subjected to thermal analyses and the different thermodynamic activation parameters were calculated from their corresponding DTG curves to throw more light on the nature of changes accompanying the thermal decomposition process of these compounds. The free Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were tested in vitro against Aspergillus flavus, Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, and A. niger fungi and Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli bacteria in order to assess their antimicrobial potential. The results indicate that the ligand and its metal complexes possess antimicrobial properties.     

Thermal studies on cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) ternary complexes of N-(2-acetamido) iminodiacetic acid and imidazoles

The thermal decomposition of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes has been studied using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential TG (DTG). The complexes have been characterized by IR spectroscopy. The results reveal that the decomposition of these complexes is accompanied by the formation of metal acetate as an intermediate fragments. On the basis of the applicability of a non-isothermal kinetic equations, it was demonstrated that the stability of the complexes follows the order Co(II)>Cu(II)>Ni(II). These stably correspond to the strength of chelation between the metal ions and the primary and secondary ligands. A possible mechanism of the thermal decomposition of the complexes is suggested.

Preparation,Characterization, Biological Activity and 3D Molecular Modeling of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Pd(II) and Ru(III) Complexes of Some Sulfadrug Schiff Bases

Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Pd(II) and Ru(III) complexes of Schiff bases derived from the condensation of sulfaguanidine with 2,4‐dihydroxy benzaldehyde ( HL1 ), 2‐hydroxy‐1‐naphthaldehyde ( HL2 ) and salicylaldehyde ( HL3 ) have been synthesized. The structures of the prepared metal complexes were proposed based on elemental analysis, molar conductance, thermal analysis (TGA, DSC and DTG), magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV‐Vis, and ESR). In all complexes, the ligand bonds to the metal ion through the azomethine nitrogen and α‐hydroxy oxygen atoms. The structures of Pd(II) complex 8 and Ru(III) complex 9 were found to be polynuclear. Two kinds of stereochemical geometries; distorted tetrahedral and distorted square pyramidal, have been realized for the Cu(II) complexes based on the results of UV‐Vis, magnetic susceptibility and ESR spectra whereas octahedral geometry was predicted for Co(II), Mn(II) and Ru(III) complexes. Ni(II) complexes were predicted to be square planar and tetrahedral and Pd(II) complexes were found to be square planar. The antimicrobial activity of the ligands and their metal complexes was also investigated against the gram‐positive bacteria Staphylococcus aures and Bacillus subtilis and gram‐negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Pesudomonas aeruginosa, by using the agar dilution method. Chloramphenicol was used as standard compound. The obtained data revealed that the metal complexes are more or less, active than the parent ligand and standard. The X‐ray crystal structure of HL3 has been also reported.     

Spectroscopic characterization,thermogravimetric and antimicrobial studies of some new metal complexes derived from4-(4-Isopropyl phenyl)-2-oxo-6-phenyl 1,2-dihyropyridine-3-carbonitrile (L)

A new series of Fe (III), Co (II), Zn (II), Y (III), Zr (IV) and La (III) complexes derived from the novel ligand 4-(4-Isopropyl phenyl)-2-oxo-6-phenyl 1,2-dihyropyridine-3-carbonitrile (L) were synthesized and characterized. The mode of bonding of L and geometrical structures of their metal complexes were elucidated by different micro analytical and spectral methods (FT-IR,UV–visible,1H NMR and Mass spectra) as well as thermal analysis (TG and DTG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results of analytical and spectroscopic equipments revealed that L acts as bidentate through nitrogen of carbonitrile group and oxygen of keto group. The conductivity measurement results deduced that these chelates are electrolyte with 1:2 for Co (II), Zn (II), and Zr (IV) and 1:3 for Fe (III), Y (III), and La (III). The results of magnetic moment measurements supported paramagnetic for some complexes (Fe (III), Co (II) and Cu (II)) and diamagnetic phenomena for the other complexes (Y (III), Zr (IV) and La (III)). Thermodynamic parameters such as energy of activation E*, entropy ΔS*, enthalpy ΔH* and Gibss free energy ΔG* were calculated using Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzeger methods at n = 1 or n#1. Some results of bioactivity tests for ligands and their metal complexes were recorded against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and antifungal. The complexes showed significant more than free ligand.

Conditions for the preparation of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) 3-methyladipates were investigated and their qualitative composition and magnetic moments were determined. The IR spectra and powder diffraction patterns of the complexes prepared of the general formula M(C₇H₁₀O₄)·nH₂O (n=0-11) were recorded and their thermal decomposition in air were studied. During heating the hydrated complexes are dehydrated in one (Co, Ni) or two steps (Mn, Zn) losing all crystallization water molecules (Co, Ni) or some water molecules (Mn, Zn) and then anhydrous (Co, Ni, Cu) or hydrated complexes (Mn, Zn) decompose directly to oxides (Mn, Co, Zn) or with intermediate formation the mixture of M+MO (Ni, Cu). The carboxylate groups are bidentate (Mn, Co, Ni, Cu) or monodentate (Zn). The complexes exist as polymers. The magnetic moments for the paramagnetic complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) attain values 5.48, 4.49, 2.84 and 1.45 B.M., respectively.

Synthesis,characterization, cyclic voltammetry,and antimicrobial properties of N-(5-benzoyl-2-oxo-4-phenyl-2H-pyrimidine-1-yl)-malonamic acid and its metal complexes

A new heterocyclic compound, N-(5-benzoyl-2-oxo-4-phenyl-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl)-malonamic acid, was synthesized from N-aminopyrimidine-2-one and malonyldichloride. Bis-chelate complexes of the ligand were prepared from acetate/chloride salts of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Fe(III), Cr(III), and Ru(III) in methanol. The structures of the ligand and its metal complexes were characterized by microanalyses, IR, NMR, API-ES, UV-Vis spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, and conductometric analyses. Octahedral geometry was suggested for all the complexes, in which the metal center coordinates to ONO donors of the ligand. Each ligand binds the metal using C=O, HN, and carboxylate. The cyclic voltammograms of the ligand and the complexes were also discussed. The compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi using microdilution procedure. The antimicrobial studies showed that Cu(II), Fe(III), and Ru(III) complexes exhibited good antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentrations between 20 and 80 µg mL^?1. However, the ligand and the complexes possess weak efficacy against Gram-negative bacterium and Candida strains. As a result, we suggest that these complexes containing pyrimidine might be a new group of antibacterial agents against Gram-positive bacteria.     

Physicochemical characterization of nanobidentate ferrocene‐based Schiff base ligand and its coordination complexes: Antimicrobial,anticancer, density functional theory,and molecular operating environment studies

A novel bidentate Schiff base ligand (HL, Nanobidentate Ferrocene based Schiff base ligand L (has one replaceable proton H)) was prepared via the condensation of 2‐amino phenol with 2‐acetyl ferrocene. The ligand was characterized using elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, ¹proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H‐NMR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal analysis.

The complexes had the general formula [M(L)(Cl)(H₂O)₃]xCl·nH₂O (M = Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)), (x = 0 for Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II), x = 1 for Cr(III) and Fe(III)), (n = 1 for Cr(III), n = 3 for Mn(II) and Co(II), n = 4 for Fe(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)). Density functional theory calculations on the HL ligand were also carried out in order to clarify molecular structures by the B31YP exchange‐correlation function. The results were subjected to molecular orbital diagram, highest occupied mo1ecu1ar orbital–lowest occupied molecular orbital, and molecular electrostatic potential calculations. The parent Schiff base and its eight metal complexes were assayed against four bacterial species (two Gram‐negative and two‐Gram positive) and four different antifungal species. The HL ligand was docked using molecular operating environment 2008 with crystal structures of oxidoreductase (1CX2), protein phosphatase of the fungus Candida albicans (5JPE), Gram(?) bacteria Escherichia coli (3T88), Gram(+) bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (3Q8U), and an androgen‐independent receptor of prostate cancer (1GS4).

The thermal properties of the Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes of iminodiacetic acid (H₂IMDA) were determined using TG, DTG and DSC techniques. The complexes, of general formula, MIMDA-2H₂O evolved water of hydration from 50 to 150°C which was followed by the decomposition of the anhydrous complex in the 250 to 400°C temperature range. The thermal stability, as determined by procedural decomposition temperatures, was: Ni(II) >Co(II) >Cu(II). The thermal stability is discussed in terms of IR spectra, ΔH, and ΔS, as well as thermal data.     

Thermal Studies on Solid Complexes of Uracil With Some Divalent Transition Metal Ions

The thermal behaviour of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pd(II) complexes of uracil was studied by TG, DTG and DTA in a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere. Two processes occur in the isolated uracil complexes: dehydration and pyrolytic decomposition. In the hydrated complexes, the first stage observed was the loss of water molecules, which was followed by decomposition of the uracil. The thermal dehydration of the complexes occurred in from one to three steps. The final decomposition products were found to be the respective metal oxides, except in the cases of the Co(II) and Pd(II) complexes, which produced metallic cobalt and palladium, respectively. The order of reaction and energy of activation for the dehydration stage were evaluated.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

The molecular parameters have been calculated to confirm the geometry of 3-methyl-5-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1-H-pyrazole-4-carbothioamide, HL. The compound is introduced as a new chelating agent for complexation with Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions. The isolated chelates were characterized by partial elemental analyses, magnetic moments, spectra (IR, UV–vis, ESR; ¹H NMR) and thermal studies. The protonation constant of HL (5.04) and the stepwise stability constants of its Co(II), Cu(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes were calculated. The ligand coordinates as a monobasic bidentate through hydroxo and thiol groups in all complexes except Cr(III) which acts as a monobasic monodentate through the enolized carbonyl oxygen. Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes measured normal magnetic moments; Cu(II) and Co(II) measured subnormal while Ni(II) complex is diamagnetic. The data confirm a high spin and low spin octahedral structures for the Fe(III) and Co(II) complexes. The ESR spectrum of the Cu(II) complex support the binuclear structure. The molecular parameters have also been calculated for the Cu(II) and Fe(III) complexes. The thermal decomposition stages of the complexes confirm the MS to be the residual part. Also, the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were calculated for some decomposition steps.
