Synthesis and application of new organometallic compounds of silicon and germanium in chemical radioprotection

Several organosilicon and organogermanium compounds possessing radioprotective activity have been synthesized. In this paper, we describe the preparation and study of the pharmacological properties of new organometallic compounds such as metallathiazolidines and metalladithioacetals derived from 1‐[N‐(2‐mercaptoethyl)‐­2‐aminoethyl] ‐ 2 ‐ (1‐naphthylmethyl) ‐2‐ imidazoline and 1‐[N‐(2‐mercaptopropyl)‐2‐aminoethyl]‐2‐(1‐naphthylmethyl)‐2‐imidazoline. We have noted a decrease in the toxicity and a rather important increase in the radioprotective activity of these new organometallic derivatives in comparison with the starting organic compounds.

Dianionic amidinates at silicon and germanium centers: Four-, six- and eight-membered rings

At variance to an earlier finding, the reaction of Me₂SiCl₂ with Li[(Me)N-C(Ph)-NH] (1a), in the presence of a base, gives a six-membered ring molecule μ-[(Ph)(MeN)C-N][-SiMe₂-N-C(Ph)-N(Ph)-SiMe₂-] (s3a), whereas with Li[ⁱPrN-C(Ph)-NH] (1b), a four-membered ring molecule μ-[ⁱPrN(Ph)C-N]₂(SiMe₂)₂ (s4b) was formed. In contrast, with Li[^tBuN-C(Ph)-NH] (1c), no such reaction occurred. Obviously, a delicate influence of steric effects has to be taken into account. In fact, the latter amidinate reacts with GeCl₂ to form an eight-membered ring molecule [^tBuN-C(Ph)-N-Ge]₄ (5c) without adding an additional base.The compounds are fully characterized and their structures determined by X-ray diffraction. DFT calculations confirm the dependence on steric influences. The relative energies of ground and transition states give a rationalization the ease of transformations of the various rings via pathways with penta- and hexacoordinate silicon centers, which in turn relates to the experimental results on penta- and hexacoordinate silicon amidinates and their fluctional behavior in solution.     

Synthesis,spectral, theoretical studies and in vitro antimicrobial activities of novel diphenyltin(IV) complexes of Schiff bases derived from phenacylamine

A series of new diphenyltin(IV) complexes of the type Ph₂SnL (L¹: N‐phenacyl‐5‐bromosalicylideneimine, Ph₂SnL¹; L²: N‐phenacyl‐3,5‐dichlorosalicylideneimine, Ph₂SnL²; L³: N–phenacyl‐4‐methoxysalicylideneimine, Ph₂SnL³) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry techniques. The C―Sn―C angles in the complexes were calculated using equations with the ¹J(^117/119Sn―¹³C) values from ¹³C NMR spectra. The possible structures, NMR and electronic properties of the studied molecules were calculated through density functional theory and results compared with experimental data. All the complexes were found to be mildly active against several microorganisms and some fungi. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The synthesis,structural characterization and biocidal properties of some triorganotin(IV) esters of N-arylidene-ω-amino acids.

The methods of synthesis, elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopic data and fungicidal activity against Ceratocystis ulmi are reported for a series of triorganotin esters of N-arylidene-ω-amino acids of general formula R₃SnOCO(CH₂)_nN = CHAr (R = Ph, n-Bu; Ar = 2-HOC₆H₄, 2-HOC₁₀H₆; n = 1, 2, 3 and 5). The crystal structures for two of the compounds, tributyltin N-2-hydroxynaphthalidene glycinate ( 1 ) and tributyltin N-2-hydroxynaphthalidene-β-alaninate ( 2 ), have been determined. Although both of these compounds have a trans-R₃SnO₂ structure, in compound 1 the carboxylate group is monodentate and the fifth coordination position around the tin atom is taken up by a coordinated phenolic group, whereas in 2 the carboxylate group is bridging. These two examples thus correspond to the two different structures reported for trans-R₃SnO₂ complexes. Both compounds were found to be active against Ceratocystis ulmi, but there was no significant difference in their levels of biological activity against this particular fungus. Apart from compound 1 , the other tributyltin compounds reported are believed to adopt the carboxylate bridging mode shown by compound ( 2 ). Crystal data: for 1 , crystals monoclinic, space group P 2₁/ c , a = 12.9435(11) Å, b = 13.5769(10) Å, c = 15.7715(12) Å, β = 108.919(6)°, Z = 4, R _f = 0.046 and R _w = 0.058 for 1448 significant reflections; for 2 , crystals monoclinic, space group C 2/ c , a = 24.588(14) Å, b = 9.733(3) Å, c = 27.611(12) Å, β = 113.49(4)°, Z = 8, R _f = 0.053 and R _w = 0.069 for 3822 significant reflections. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adsorption of anions to zirconium(IV) and titanium(IV) chemically immobilized on gel-phase

Adsorption behaviors of 25 anions to zirconium(IV) and titanium(IV) chemically immobilized on a gel-phase were studied by ion chromatography and by batch adsorption experiments. The affinities of Zr(IV) to iminodiacetate as an anchoring group and to anions as a sample are much stronger than those of Ti(IV). On a Zr(IV) column, fourteen anions showed no retention, four anions showed pH-dependent retention in a low pH region, and seven anions were irreversibly adsorbed at pH <7. In the last group, fluoride was adsorbed both by the ligand exchange mechanism and the addition mechanism, while phosphate, arsenate and selenite were only by the ligand exchange mechanism. The structures of the adsorbed species are discussed.     

Synthesis,characterization, antibacterial,and cytotoxic activities of organotin(IV) complexes derived from N(4)-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone: X-ray crystal structure of [Ph2SnCl(L)]

Reaction of organotin(IV) chloride(s) with 2-benzoylpyridine-N(4)-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone, [HL] (1) yielded [MeSnCl₂(L)] (2), [BuSnCl₂(L)] (3), [Me₂SnCl(L)] (4), and [Ph₂SnCl(L)] (5). The ligand (1) and its organotin(IV) complexes have been characterized by CHN analyses, molar conductivity, UV-Vis, FT-IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectral studies. The molecular structure of 5 was also determined by X-ray diffraction. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit and the central tin(IV) atom is six-coordinate in distorted octahedral geometry. The ligand (1) and complexes were screened for their in vitro antibacterial activities. The cytotoxic activities of 1–5 were tested against A2780 and A2780/Cp8 cancer cell lines. The compounds have better antibacterial activities than the free ligand; 2–5 are more potent cytotoxic agents than 1, while the diphenyltin(IV) 5 is more active with IC₅₀ values of 0.05 and 0.54?µmol?L^?1 against A2780 and A2780/Cp8 cell lines, respectively.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of manganese(III,IV) and ruthenium(III) complexes derived from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehydebenzoylhydrazone

Reaction of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehydebenzoylhydrazone(napbhH₂) with manganese(II) acetate tetrahydrate and manganese(III) acetate dihydrate in methanol followed by addition of methanolic KOH in molar ratio (2 : 1 : 10) results in [Mn(IV)(napbh)₂] and [Mn(III)(napbh)(OH)(H₂O)], respectively. Activated ruthenium(III) chloride reacts with napbhH₂ in methanolic medium yielding [Ru(III)(napbhH)Cl(H₂O)]Cl. Replacement of aquo ligand by heterocyclic nitrogen donor in this complex has been observed when the reaction is carried out in presence of pyridine(py), 3-picoline(3-pic) or 4-picoline(4-pic). The molar conductance values in DMF (N,N-dimethyl formamide) of these complexes suggest non-electrolytic and 1 : 1 electrolytic nature for manganese and ruthenium complexes, respectively. Magnetic moment values of manganese complexes suggest Mn(III) and Mn(IV), however, ruthenium complexes are paramagnetic with one unpaired electron suggesting Ru(III). Electronic spectral studies suggest six coordinate metal ions in these complexes. IR spectra reveal that napbhH₂ coordinates in enol-form and keto-form to manganese and ruthenium metal ions in its complexes, respectively. ESR studies of the complexes are also reported.

Organotin (IV) complexes derived from tridentate Schiff base ligands: Synthesis,spectroscopic analysis,antimicrobial and antioxidant activity

Organotin complexes of Schiff bases (derived from the condensation of hydrazides with salicylaldehyde derivatives) were prepared and their characterization was done using several spectroscopic techniques like FTIR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) and mass spectrometry. The spectroscopic data of the ligands and their corresponding complexes revealed that the Schiff bases chelated to the tin metal in a tridentate manner through –ONO atoms (oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group of the salicylaldehydic derivatives, the nitrogen atom of azomethine group, and the oxygen atom of enolic group present in the carboxylic acid hydrazides). Around tin atom pentacoordinated geometry was exhibited. The synthesized ligands and their complexes have been assessed for their biological potency (antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant using Ciprofloxacin, Fluconazole and Ascorbic acid as reference compounds) and few of the compounds showed optimistic activity. The ligands having electron withdrawing group attached showed greater antimicrobial activity as compared to the other ligands. The complexes showed the better activity than the ligands. The general trend followed by the complexes was diphenyl ?> ?dibutyl ?> ?dimethyl substituted complexes. Compound 11 was the most active against microbes. The antioxidant activity increased with electron donating group. The phenyl substituted complexes showed better activity as compared to the dibutyl and dimethyl substituted complexes. Compound 20 was the best antioxidant.     

Fungicidal,bactericidal and antifertility activities of diorganosilicon(IV) complexes derived from benzothiazolines

Synthetic, structural and biological aspects of trigonal-bipyramidal, Me₂S(N—S)CI and octahedral, Me₂Si(N—S)₂ types of diorganosilicon(IV) complexes of heterocyclic benzothiazolines (N—SH) are described. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight determination, conductance measurements and electronic, infrared, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic studies. Some ligands and their corresponding dimethylsilicon(IV) complexes have been tested for their effects on several pathogenic fungi and bacteria and found to be quite active in this respect. Antifertility activity in male mice of some representative ligands and their silicon complexes was also evaluated and discussed.     

On Tetrachlorophosphonium Chlorometallates of Rhenium and Molybdenum: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Magnetism of [PCl4]2[Re2Cl10] and [PCl4]3[ReCl6]2, and the Magnetic Properties of [PCl4]2[Mo2Cl10]

MoCl₄, ReCl₄, and ReCl₅ react with PCl₅ in sealed glass ampoules at temperatures between 220° and 320° to [PCl₄]₂[Mo₂Cl₁₀] ( 1 ) [PCl₄]₂[Re₂Cl₁₀] ( 2 ), and [PCl₄]₃[ReCl₆]₂ ( 3 ). 2 crystallizes isotypically to the previously reported 1 and the respective titanium and tin containing analogues. The structure (triclinic, P1, Z = 1, a = 897.3(2), b = 946.0(2), c = 687.13(9) pm, α = 95.59(2)°, β = 95.80(2)°, γ = 101.07(2)°, V = 565.4(2) 10⁶ pm³) is built of tetrahedral [PCl₄]⁺ and edge sharing double octahedral [Re₂Cl₁₀]^2– ions and can be derived from a hexagonal closest packing of Cl^– ions with tetrahedral and octahedral holes partially filled by P(V) and Re(IV), respectively. 3 crystallizes isotypically to [PCl₄]₃[PCl₆][MCl₆] (M = Ti, Sn) (tetragonal, P 4₂/mbc, Z = 4, a = 1496.2(1), c = 1363.2(2) pm). Because no evidence was found for the presence of [PCl₆]^– ions, Re in 3 has to be of mixed valency with Re^IV and Re^V sharing the same crystallographic site. The structure can be derived from a cubic closest packing or alternatively from an only sparsely distorted body centered cubic arrangement of Cl^– ions which is rarely found for anion arrays. The tetrahedral and octahedral holes are partially filled by P^V and M^IV/V, respectively. Magnetic measurements show all three compounds to be paramagnetic and confirm the oxidation state IV for Mo and Re in 1 and 2 and the mixed valence (IV/V) for Re in 3 .     

Synthesis and characterization of manganese(IV) and ruthenium(III) complexes derived from bis (2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)oxaloyldihydrazone

Bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)oxaloyldihydrazone(naohH₄) interacts with manganese(II) acetate in methanol followed by addition of KOH giving [Mn^IV(naoh)(H₂O)₂]. Activated ruthenium(III) chloride reacts with naohH₄ in methanol yielding [Ru^III(naohH₄)Cl(H₂O)Cl₂]. The replacement of aquo by heterocyclic nitrogen donor in these complexes has been observed when the reaction is carried out in presence of heterocyclic nitrogen donors such as pyridine(py), 3-picoline(3-pic) or 4-picoline(4-pic). The molar conductance values in DMF for these complexes suggest non-electrolytic nature. Magnetic moment values suggest +4 oxidation state for manganese in its complexes, however, ruthenium(III) complexes are paramagnetic with one unpaired electron. Electronic spectral studies suggest six coordinate metal ions. IR spectra reveal that naohH₄ coordinates in enol-form and keto-form to manganese and ruthenium, respectively. ESR and cyclic voltammetric studies of the complexes have also been reported.     

Diorganotin(IV) complexes with furan-2-carbohydrazone derivatives: synthesis,characterization, crystal structure and antibacterial activity

Four new diorganotin(IV) complexes, R₂SnL (L?=?L^a: R?=?Me 1, Ph 2; L?=?L^b: R?=?Me 3, and Ph 4), have been synthesized by reaction of hydrazone ONO donors, 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde furan-2-carbohydrazone (H₂L^a) and 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde furan-2-carbohydrazone (H₂L^b) with diorganotin(IV) dichloride in the presence of a base. The compounds have been investigated by elemental analysis and IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopies. Spectroscopic studies show that the hydrazone is a tridentate dianionic ligand, coordinating via the imine nitrogen and phenolic and enolic oxygens. The structures of H₂L^b and 3 have also been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The results show that the structure of 3 is a distorted square pyramid with imine nitrogen in apical position. The in vitro antibacterial activities of ligands and complexes have been evaluated against gram-positive (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. H₂L^a and H₂L^b show no activity but the diphenyltin(IV) complexes exhibit good activities towards two bacterial strains in comparison with standard bacterial drugs.     

Synthesis,spectral and antimicrobial studies of diorganotin(IV)3(2′‐hydroxyphenyl)‐5‐(4‐substituted phenyl) pyrazolinates

Diorganotin(IV) dipyrazolinates of the type R₂Sn(C₁₅H₁₂N₂OX)₂ [where C₁₅H₁₂N₂OX = 3(2′‐Hydroxyphenyl)‐5(4‐X‐phenyl)pyrazoline {where X = H ( a ); CH₃ ( b ); OCH₃ ( c ); Cl ( d ) and R = Me, Prⁿ and Ph}] have been synthesized by the reaction of R₂SnCl₂ with sodium salt of pyrazolines in 1:2 molar ratio, in anhydrous benzene. These newly synthesized derivatives have been characterized by elemental analysis (C, H, N, Cl and Sn), molecular weight measurement as well as spectral [IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn)] studies. The bidentate behaviour of the pyrazoline ligands was confirmed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data. A distorted trans‐octahedral structure around tin(IV) atom for R₂Sn(C₁₅H₁₂N₂OX)₂ has been suggested. The free pyrazoline and diorganotin(IV) dipyrazolinates have also been screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Some diorganotin(IV) dipyrazolinates exhibit higher antibacterial and antifungal effect than free ligand and some of the antibiotics. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Diorganotin(IV) complexes with 2-benzoylpyridine and 2-acetylpyrazine N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazones: Synthesis, crystal structures and biological activities

Four diorganotin(IV) complexes [(Me)₂Sn(L¹)(CH₃COO)]·CH₃CH₂OH (1), [(Ph)₂Sn(L¹)(CH₃COO)]·CH₃CH₂OH (2), [(Me)₂Sn(L²)Cl] (3) and [(Ph)₂Sn(L²)(CH₃COO)] (4) where HL¹ = 2-benzoylpyridine N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone and HL² = 2-acetylpyrazine N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR MS, ¹H NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Schiff bases in their deprotonated forms coordinate to tin(IV) via pyridine/pyrazine nitrogen atom and the nitrogen atom and sulfur atoms of the thiosemicarbazone moiety. The tin atom is seven-coordinated in 1, 2 and 4 containing one acetato group, respectively, and six-coordinated in 3 containing one chloride ion. Biological studies, carried out in vitro against selected bacteria and K562 leukaemia cells, respectively, have shown that different substituted groups attached at the thiosemicarbazone moieties and different diorganotin(IV) groups showed distinctive differences in the biological property.     

Synthesis,characterization and biocidal activities of some metal(II) complexes with diacetyl salicylaldehyde acyldihydrazones

Complexes of diacetyl salicylaldehyde oxalic acid dihydrazone, CH₃COC(CH₃)= NNHCOCONHN=CHC₆H₄(OH),(dsodh) and diacetyl salicylaldehyde malonic acid dihydrazone CH₃COC(CH₃)=NNHCOCH₂CONHN=CHC₆H₄(OH), (dsmdh) of general compositions [M(L)]Cl, [M′(L)Cl], [M(L′)]Cl and [M′(L′)Cl] (where M?=?Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and M′?=?Ni(II); HL?=?dsodh and HL′?=?dsmdh) were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moments, electronic, ESR and infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction data. The magnetic moments and electronic spectra indicate six-coordinate octahedral geometry for Co(II) and square planar geometry for Ni(II) complexes. The ESR spectral data of Cu(II) complexes in DMF solution reveal a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry. Both ligands bond through >C=O, >C=N and deprotonated phenolate groups in all octahedral complexes and through >C=N and deprotonated phenolate groups in Ni(II) square planar complexes. The lattice parameters for Cu(dsodh) and Co(dsmdh) correspond to an orthorhombic and Ni(dsodh) corresponds to a tetragonal crystal lattice.

The complexes show significant antifungal activity against a number of pathogenic fungi viz. Stemphylium, Myrothecium and Alternaria. The antibacterial activity was studied against Pseudomonas fluorescence (gram ?ve) and Clostridium thermocellum (gram +ve).
