Equilibrium Studies of Schiff Bases and Their Complexes with Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) derived from Salicylaldehyde and Some α-Amino Acids

The acid-base equilibria of Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde, glycine, alanine, serine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine, and their Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complex formation equilibria were investigated by a potentiometric method in aqueous solution (t = 25^∘C, μ = 0.1 M, KCl). The data from the potentiometric titrations were evaluated by means of the BEST computer program. The order of the formation constant values of the Schiff bases was Sal-Ala > Sal-Gly > Sal-Ser > Sal-Phe > Sal-Tyr, which is the same order as the increasing log K₁ values of amino acids (and the log K₂ values of tyrosine) with the exception of an inversion between serine and phenylalanine. Also, it was seen that the stability constants, log β₁ and log β₂, of Schiff base–metal complexes vary for all the metal ions investigated, viz., Sal-Gly > Sal-Ala > Sal-Ser > Sal-Tyr > Sal-Phe with the exception of Sal-Gly in the copper complex. The effect of the nature of the amino acids on their formation, protonation and stability constants was also discussed.     

Mixed Ligand Complexes of 5-arylazo-8-hydroxyquinoline and α-amino Acids with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)

Ten mixed ligand complexes of the type [M(X-QA)(aa)] and [Ni(X-QA)₂(Haa)(H₂O)],where X-HQA=5-arylazo-8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives, M=Co(II) orCu(II) and Haa=glycine (gly), alanine (ala) or methionine (met), have been prepared. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and electron spectra and thermal analysis. A tetrahedral structure has been proposed for the cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes with bidentate coordination of amino acids. The nickel(II) complexes have been assigned an octahedral structure with the amino acids acting as monodentate ligands. The thermal behaviour of the complexes has been studied before and after γ-irradiation. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

X-ray study of volatile Ni(II), Cu(II), and Pd(II) complexes of β-ketoimine pivalyltrifluoroacetone

Synthesis of volatile complexes based on -ketoimine pivalyltrifluoroacetone, C(CH₃)₃C(NH)CH₂COCF₃, is described. The general formula of the complexes is M(L)₂, where M = Cu, Ni, Pd. Complexes of this kind with Ni and Pd were obtained for the first time. The Cu and Pd complexes were found to be isostructural. A comprehensive crystal-chemical study showed that all structures are molecular and built of trans-complexes. The central atom has a square plane environment. The average M-O and M-N distances are nearly equal in all compounds: 1.84 , 1.92 , and 1.98 for Ni, Cu, and Pd complexes, respectively; the mean values of the O-M-N chelate angles are 93.4°, 91.9°, and 92.7°, respectively.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by I.

The effects of complexing metal ion and the reaction medium on the spectral luminescent properties (absorptivity, quantum yield, fluorescence lifetime, and the radiation constant) and on thermal destruction of the [ML₂] complexes have been discussed.     

Complexes of acetic acid α-(N-benzoxazolin-2-one) with Zn(II), Cu(II), and Co(II): Syntheses and crystal structures

The results of syntheses and X-ray diffraction analyses of mononuclear complexes [ML₂(H₂O)₄] (M = Co²⁺(I), Cu²⁺(II), and Zn²⁺(III)) containing water molecules and anions of acetic acid α-(N-benzoxazolin-2-one) (L = C₉H₆O₄) are presented. The crystals of complexes I–III are isostructural (space group P2₁/n, Z = 2) and are built of discrete neutral complex molecules. The crystallographic data are as follows: for complex I, a = 6.1470(5), b = 5.3310(3), c = 30.5894(17) Å, β = 95.056(6)°, V = 998.50(11) ų; for complex II, a = 5.9661(6) Å, b = 5.1414(4) Å, c = 32.672(2) Å, β = 92.395(6)°, V = 1001.33(14) ų; and for complex III, a = 6.1404(3) Å, b = 5.3476(2) Å, c = 30.5865(12) Å, β = 94.708(4)°, V = 1000.96(7) ų. The metal atoms (M) of the complexing agents are localized in the crystallographic symmetry centers and have a distorted octahedral environment due to two oxygen atoms of the carboxy groups of two monodentate ligands (L) and four water molecules. The M-O(1w)(H₂O) and M-O(2w)(H₂O) bond lengths for the indicated complexes are 2.088(3) and 2.118(3), 2.446(3) and 1.971(3), and 2.113(4) and 2.093(3) Å for M = Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Zn²⁺, respectively. The crystal structures are formed due to packing of chains built of inter-molecular hydrogen bonds O-H…O.     

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).     

Complexes of vitamin B6—IX Ternary complexes of Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with pyridoxamine and salicylic acid

Equilibrium-based computer models were used in the calculation of the stability constants of the ternary complexes of Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) involving pyridoxamine (PM) and salicylic acid (Sal) from pH-metric data at 0.5 M KNO₃ and 30°C. It has been concluded that most of the complexes are protonated with the possible location of proton on PM moiety. The ternary stability constants of some ternary complexes were discussed in terms of binary stability constants of PM and Sal. The model equilibria were correlated with pertinent published equilibria.     

Complex formation of Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), and Cd(II) acetates with 3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexamethyldipyrrolylmethene

The reactions of complex formation of Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), and Cd(II) acetates with 3,3′,4,4′5,5′-hexamethyl-2,2′-dipyrrolylmethene (HL) in DMF were studied by the electronic spectroscopy and calorimetric titration methods at 298.15 K. The main products of the above reactions are [ML₂] chelates. In the case of Cu and Ni salts, the process occurs through the spectrally recorded stage of formation of the heteroligand [ML(AcO)] complexes. The reaction with Cd acetate terminates at the stage of the heteroligand complex formation due to the large radius and decreasing electron affinity of the Cd²⁺ ion. The effect of the metal nature appears in the increasing thermodynamic stability of single-type complexes in the series [ML₂]: Ni(II) < Zn(II) < Co(II) < Cu(II) and [ML(AcO)]: Cd(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II).

Synthesis and characterisation of Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with 5-bromo-N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-o-tolidine

New complexes of type [M(HL)(CH₃COO)(OH₂)_m]·nH₂O (where M:Co, m = 2, n = 2; M:Ni, m = 2, n = 1.5; M:Zn, m = 0, n = 2.5 and M:Cd, m = 0, n = 0; H₂L:5-bromo-N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-o-tolidine) have been synthesized and characterized by microanalytical, IR, UV–Vis-NIR and magnetic data. Electronic spectra of Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes are characteristic for an octahedral stereochemistry.

The thermal transformations are complex according to TG and DTA curves including dehydration, acetate decomposition and oxidative degradation of the Schiff base. The final product of decomposition is the most stable metallic oxide.

Antimicrobial studies of N - N ′-dicarboxydiethyloxamide and its Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes

Neutral complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Zn(II) have been synthesized from the oxamide-based ligand derived from leucine and diethyloxalate. The structural features have been deduced from their microanalytical, IR, UV/Vis, mass, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data. The Co(II) and Ni(II) chelates have octahedral geometries and the Cu(II) chelate is a square-pyramidal geometry.

All the compounds are antimicrobially active and show higher activity than the free ligand.     

Liquid–liquid extraction of Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) with salicylidèneaniline from sulphate media

For a fundamental study on the development of novel extraction divalent metal, the extraction behaviour of copper(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) is studied with salicylidèneaniline (SAN). The phenol group in the Schiff base moiety leads to a large increase in the percentage of transition metal ions. SAN has both good reactivity towards metal ions and solubility in organic solvents. The solvent extraction of copper(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with salicylidèneaniline from sulphate media is studied with the following parameters: pH, concentration of the extractant and the nature of diluent. The stoichiometry coefficients of the extracted species are determined by the slope analysis method. The extraction reaction proceeds by cation exchange mechanism and the extracted species are: CuL₂HL, CoL₂HL and NiL₂. The extaction constants are evaluated for the different diluents. Under suitable conditions of pH, the solvent extraction of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) in different diluents leads to third phase formation. This tendency is confirmed from numerical extraction constants for both metal cations (log?K _ex?=??15.10?±?0.03 for nickel(II) in CHCl₃) and (log?K _ex?=??12.56?±?0.04 for cobalt(II) in CHCl₃). The extraction efficiency is found to follow the order Cu(II)?>?Co(II)?>?Ni(II).

Six different arylhydrazone derivatives of p-aminobenzoic hydrazide of vic-dioximes were synthesized by reaction of chloroglyoxime and dichloroglyoxime with N＇-p-aminobenzoyl benzaldehyde, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde hydrazones, respectively. Metal-ligand （1 ： 2） complexes of vic-dioxime derivatives with Cu（Ⅱ）, Ni（Ⅱ） and Co（Ⅱ） were prepared from corresponding metal acetates. The ligands and their complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses and spectral data. The complexing abilities of these new vic-dioximes toward transition metals of Co（Ⅱ）, Cu（Ⅱ）, Ni（Ⅱ）, Zn（Ⅱ）, Cd（Ⅱ）, Mn（Ⅱ） and Cr（Ⅲ） were determined by solid-liquid extraction studies.     

Analytical relationships between the ionization of 1,3-dicarbonylic ligands and stability of their Cr(III), Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) 1∶1 chelates

It has been demonstrated that the logarithm of the stability constant of some monochelated chromium(III) compounds, with structurally similar 1,3-dicarbonylic species, is linearly related to the negative logarithm of the acid ionization constant of the ligand. Graphical and analytical correlations which could be useful in predicting equilibrium constants of chromium(III)--diketonates, as well as other first-row transition metal derivatives, have been developed. A quantitative evaluation of the complexes stability has been carried out, providing information about the effects of ligand substituents on the equilibrium constants.
