Synthesis,spectroscopic, DNA cleavage and antibacterial activity of binuclear schiff base complexes

The binuclear Schiff base complexes are formed newly using different transition metals at their stable oxidation state as Cu(II), Ni(II), and VO(II). 3,3′,4,4′-tetraminobiphenyl and 2-aminobenzaldehyde were condensed to form a new Schiff base ligand having an two N₄ group responsible for better chelating to the metal centers. The ligand and their complexes have been established by analytical, spectral and electrochemical data. The interaction studies of the complexes with CT-DNA were carried out using cyclic voltammetry, viscosity measurements and fluorescence spectroscopy. The free ligand and their metal complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activities against the following species: Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. A comparative study of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the Schiff base and its complexes indicate that the metal complexes exhibit higher antibacterial activity than the free ligand.

A new acetylene-terminated Schiff base monomer, N,N′-(1,4-phenylenedimethylidyne)-bis-(4-ethynylaniline) (PPP), was synthesized and was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy. This monomer was then polymerized to yield a new polymer (PPPP) with alternating units of aromatic imine and diacetylene via an oxidative coupling polymerization of the acetylenic terminal groups. The monomer was also polymerized by thermal curing at elevated temperatures up to 400°C to afford a crosslinked polymer network without significant structural decomposition. Thermal properties and thermal reactions of the monomer and the polymers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The polymers exhibit excellent thermal stabilities in an inert atmosphere. Electronic properties of the polymers are also discussed.

Synthesis and trivalent lanthanide ion complexation studies of new macrocyclic receptors based lactam ionophores

This study is the first report on the design, synthesis and photophysical properties of three new macrocyclic receptors based receptors containing two amide bridges. Their binding properties towards trivalent lanthanide ions such as La³⁺, Gd³⁺, Tb³⁺, Dy³⁺, Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ were investigated by using spectroscopic techniques. With respect to emission intensity changes upon trivalent lanthanide ion complexation, macrocyclic receptors based lactam ionophores showed higher selectivity towards Yb³⁺ and/or Er³⁺ ion over other ions. Presence of proximal two amide groups in macrocyclic lactam receptors having different cavity size were observed to play an important role in exhibiting its lanthanide ion binding.

Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of the Schiff base derived from indole-3-carboxaldehyde and m-aminobenzoic acid were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, IR, UV–Vis, magnetic moment, powder XRD and SEM. The IR results demonstrate the bidentate binding mode of the ligand involving azomethine nitrogen and carboxylato oxygen atoms. The electronic spectral and magnetic moment results indicate that Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes have tetrahedral geometry, while Cu(II) complex is square planar. Powder XRD and SEM indicate the crystalline state and surface morphology studies of the complexes. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized ligand and its complexes were screened by disc diffusion method. The results show that the metal complexes were found to be more active than the ligand. The nuclease activity of the ligand and its complexes were assayed on CT DNA using gel electrophoresis in the presence of H₂O₂.

Three new Schiff base adducts, [SnMe₂Cl₂(H₂cdnaphen)] (1), [SnPh₂Cl₂(H₂cdnaphen)₂].C₆H₆ (2) and [SnBu₂Cl₂(H₂cdnaphen)₂] (3) were synthesized by the reaction of SnR₂Cl₂ (R = Me, Bu and Ph) with a Schiff base ligand, Methyl 2-[2-(2-hydroxynaphthaldimino)ethylamino]-1-cyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylate (H₂cdnaphen). The new products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopies. Spectroscopic data suggest that H₂cdnaphen exists predominately in keto-amine tautomeric form and in all complexes acts as a monodentate neutral ligand coordinating with the metal through oxygen atom, while the sulfur atom and imine nitrogen are not involved in coordination with the tin. Thermal decomposition of the complexes was studied through thermogravimetry and the thermodynamic activation parameters were determined by the Coats-Redfern method.

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new tetradentate Schiff base and its coordination compounds of NOON donor atoms and their antibacterial and antifungal activity

New Schiff base (H₂L) ligand is prepared via condensation of o-phthaldehyde and 2-aminobenzoic acid in 1:2 ratio. Metal complexes are prepared and characterized using elemental analyses, IR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, ¹H NMR, ESR and thermal analysis (TGA). From the elemental analyses data, the complexes were proposed to have the general formulae [MCl(L)(H₂O)]·2H₂O (where M = Cr(III) and Fe(III)); [M(L)]·yH₂O (where M = Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), y = 1–2) and [M(L)(H₂O)_n]·yH₂O (where M = Co(II) (n = y = 2), Co(II) (n = y = 1), Ni(II) (n = 2, y = 1). The molar conductance data reveal that all the metal chelates were non-electrolytes. IR spectra show that H₂L is coordinated to the metal ions in a bi-negative tetradentate manner with NOON donor sites of the azomethine-N and carboxylate-O. The ¹H NMR spectral data indicate that the two carboxylate protons are also displaced during complexation. From the magnetic and solid reflectance spectra, it was found that the geometrical structure of these complexes are octahedral (Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II) and Ni(II)), square planar (Cu(II)), trigonal bipyramidal (Co(II)) and tetrahedral (Mn(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)). The thermal behaviour of these chelates showed that the hydrated complexes losses water molecules of hydration in the first step followed immediately by decomposition of the ligand molecule in the subsequent steps. The biological activity data show that the metal complexes to be more potent/antibacterial than the parent Shciff base ligand against one or more bacterial species.
