Investigation of aromatic hydroxyoxime-transition metal complexes by infrared spectroscopy

The preparation and infrared spectroscopic studies of coordination compounds of salicylaldoxime, 2-hydroxy-acetophenone oxime, 2-hydroxy-benzophenone oxime and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone oxime with copper (II), nickel (II), cobalt (II) and iron (II) are described. The frequency of the C=N stretching vibration is usually higher in the complex than that in the ligand. The higher this frequency is, the larger the stability constant of the complex will be, but there is no quantitative relationship. In the case of complexes of salicylaldoxime with Cu (II), Ni (II), Co (II) and Fe (II), v_O=N values are correlated linearly with the ionization potentials of the central metal ions. The frequency of the OH stretching vibration is closely related to the geometric configuration of the complex. Thus aromatic hydroxyoximes form coordination compounds with Co (II) and Fe (II) with cis configuration possessing six-membered hydrogen-bonded ring. This is indicated in the infrared spectra by the complete absence of the OH stretching band, or by the appearance of an extremely broad and flat band of very low intensity. However, Cu (II) or Ni (II) complex possesses trans configuration with five-membered hydrogen-bonded bridge showing characteristic OH absorption band in the infrared region. The v_oh's of complexes investigated are closely related to the polar nature of substituents on the benzene ring. By examining the spectra of ⁶³Cu and ⁶⁵Cu complexes with 2-hydroxy-4(5)-substituted benzophenone oximes in the far infrared region, the characteristic frequency of M-O and M-N were assigned for a series of aromatic hydroxyoxime-transition metal complexes.     

Complexes of Cu(II) and Co(II) with NN′-bis-8-quinolylethylenediamine

This article describes some complexes of Cu(II) and Co(II with NN′-bis-8-quinolylethylenediamine ligand (nn′). All the compounds are of stoichiometry [MX₂(nn′)] (M = Cu or Co; X = Cl^?, Br^?, I^?, NO^?₃ or SCN^?). The electronic spectra are consistent with distorted octahedral geometry around the ions, indicating the four coordination of the nn′ ligand. Magnetic susceptibility measurements down to 100 K show antiferromagnetic interactions in all the Cu(II) compounds demonstrating the existence of the ionic and bridging X group. Infrared spectra show the presence of ionic and bridging nitrate in the [M(NO₃)₂(nn′)] (M = Co or Cu) compounds and ionic and bridging NCS group in the [Cu(NCS)₂(nn′)] compound.     

Relationship between the Auger parameter and the ground state valence charge at the core-ionized site

A simple semi-empirical model that correlates the Auger parameter to the ground state valence charge of the core-ionized atom with closed valence shell configuration, and which was previously applied to Cu(I) (3d¹⁰) compounds, is extended to Ba (II) (5d¹⁰), Pb (II) (5d¹⁰4s²), and Zn (II) (3d¹⁰) compounds (halides and chalcogenides). Until now, the Auger parameter was employed to separate initial and final state effects that influence the core electron binding energy. In agreement with our model, a linear relationship is found between the Auger parameter shift and the ground state Bader valence charge obtained by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.     

Relationship between the Auger parameter and the ground state valence charge of the core-ionized atom: The case of Cu(I) and Cu (II) compounds

We develop a simple semiempirical model that correlates the Auger parameter to the ground state valence charge of the core-ionized atom with closed shell electron configuration. Until now, the Auger parameter was employed to separate initial and final state effects that influence the core electron binding energy. The model is applied to Cu(I) and Cu (II) compounds with the Auger parameter defined as α' = E_b^FL (2p_3/2) + E_k^FL (L₃M₄₅M₄₅;¹G). The Auger parameter shift for Cu(I) ion in CuI, CuBr, CuFeS₂, Cu₂S, and Cu₂O compounds—with respect to the copper free atom—increases with the electronic polarizability of the nearest-neighbour ligands suggesting a nonlocal screening mechanism. This relaxation process is interpreted as due to an electron transfer from the nearest-neighbour ligands toward the spatially extended 4sp valence orbitals of the core-ionized Cu(I) ion. In agreement with our model, a linear relationship is found between the Auger parameter shift and the ground state Bader valence charge obtained by density functional theory calculations. The Auger parameter shift for the Cu (II) ion in CuF₂, CuCl₂, CuBr₂, CuSO₄, Cu (NO₃)₂•3H₂O, Cu₃(PO₄)₂, Cu (OH)₂, and CuO compounds is very close to the Auger parameter of metallic copper, and therefore, it is not related to the calculated ground state Bader valence charge. The relaxation process in the final state is dominated by the local screening mechanism, which involves an electron transfer from the nearest-neighbour ligands toward the spatially contracted 3d orbitals of the core-ionized Cu (II) ion.     

Metal Chelates of N‐(2‐pyridylmethyl)iminodiacetate(2‐) Ion (pmda). Part II. Ternary pmda Chelates with M = Co,Cu or Zn and Creatinine as Auxiliary Ligand

The compounds [Cu(pmda)(crea)]·H₂O ( 1 ), [Zn(pmda)(crea)]·H₂O ( 2 ) and [Co(pmda)(crea)(H₂O)]·H₂O ( 3 ) were prepared and characterized by thermal, spectral and X‐ray diffraction methods. In compounds 1 and 2 the M^II coordination is of type 4+1 and approaches to a trigonal bipyramid (71.85 and 86.18 %, respectively) with rather linear N(pmda)‐M^II‐N(crea) trans‐apical angles, but with different longest coordination bond (Cu‐O(pmda) or Zn‐N(apliphatic, pmda), respectively). Both compounds are isotypic and one intra‐molecular interligand N‐H···O interaction reinforces the molecular recogniton crea‐M^II(pmda) chelate. In contrast, the compound 3 exhibits an octahedral coordination, imposed by the 3d⁷ electronic configuration of the cobalt(II) atom, and the crea‐chelate recognition involves the Co‐N(crea) coordination bond and one intramolecular ‘bifurcated’ H‐bonding interaction between one N‐H(crea) bond and one O(pmda) plus the O(aqua) atoms as ‘acceptors’.     

Ln2BaZnO5 and Ln2BaZn1−xCuxO5: A series of zinc oxides with zinc in a pyramidal coordination

A series of zinc oxides Ln₂BaZnO₅ has been synthesized for Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, and Y. Theses phases are orthorhombic and isostructural with the copper compounds Ln₂BaCuO₅ previously described, as shown from the structural study of one member Y₂BaZnO₅. In this structure, whose framework is built up from edge- and face-sharing LnO₇ polyhedra, the Zn²⁺ ions exhibit an unusual pyramidal coordination ZnO₅. The solid solution Y₂BaZn_1?xCu_xO₅ has been studied by infrared spectroscopy and electron spin resonance (ESR). The distorted square-based pyramidal configuration of Zn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ is confirmed. The ESR spectra of diluted samples exhibit a hyperfine structure and are typical of individual Cu(II) ions. For higher Cu(II) contents, they exhibit an anisotropic broad signal which is interpreted in terms of CuCu interactions.     

Ball milling: a green mechanochemical approach for synthesis of Ni (II), Co (II) and Cu (II) complexes

A series of Ni (II), Co (II) and Cu (II) complexes were synthesized with excellent yields via a one‐pot ball milling chelation reaction of those metals and β‐diketone. The process offers numerous advantages, such as better yield, short reaction time and mild reaction conditions. The computational studying was estimated to approve the geometry of the isolated solid compounds by applying density functional theory. The synthesized compounds were interpreted by using various spectroscopic techniques [infrared (IR), ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, UV–visible, electron spin resonance (ESR) and mass spectrometry] together with some physical studies (molar conductance and magnetic susceptibility). The outcomes data displayed that the (HD¹), (HD²) and (HD³) acted as neutral and/or mononegative bidentate ligands. The ESR as well as electronic spectra suggested the octahedral configuration for all isolated complexes, expect [Cu (HD2)(OAc)2]·2H₂O has square planar structure. Also, the in vitro antimicrobial assay was done by using the well diffusion method for HD¹, HD², HD³ and their complexes.     

Addition of Secondary Amines to Alkynephosphonates

Addition of secondary amines to diethyl alkynephosphonates, catalyzed by Cu(I) salts, proceeds regio- and stereospecifically and yields diethyl (E)-2-diethylaminooalkenephosphonates. The E configuration was established by analysis of the vicinal coupling constants between the phosphorus and carbon nuclei in the ¹³C NMR spectra of the reaction products and model compounds: ³ JPC is 6-10 Hz at the cis arrangement of the coupled nuclei and 16 Hz or higher at the trans arrangement. In all the diethyl diethylaminoalkenephosphonates obtained, ³ JPC is about 5 Hz, suggesting cis addition.     

Determination of the anomeric configuration of glycosyl esters of nucleoside pyrophosphates and polyisoprenyl phosphates by fast-atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry

Collision-induced dissociation of the deprotonated molecules of glycosyl esters of nucleoside pyrophosphates and polyisoprenyl (dolichyl and polyprenyl) phosphates results in distinct fragmentation patterns that depend on cis-trans configuration of the phosphodiester and 2″ (or 2′, respectively)-hydroxyl groups of the glycosyl residue. At the collision-offset voltage of 0. 5 V, sugar nucleotides with cis configuration produce only one very abundant fragment of nucleoside monophosphate, whereas compounds with trans configuration give weak signals for nucleoside di- and mono-phosphates and their dehydration products. These fragmentation patterns are largely preserved at higher collision energy, with the exception that, for sugar nucleotides with trans configuration, the characteristic signals are much more abundant and a novel diagnostic fragment of [ribosyl(deoxyribosyl)-5′-P₂O₅ — H]^? is generated. In the case of polyisoprenyl-P-sugars, polyisoprenyl phosphate ion is the only fragment observed for compounds with trans configuration, whereas in compounds with cis configuration, this ion is accompanied by another abundant fragment, which is derived from the cleavage across the sugar ring and corresponds to [polyisoprenyl-PO₄-(C₂H₃O)]^?. The relative intensity ratio of the latter ion to the [polyisoprenyl-HPO₄]^? ion is close to 1 for compounds with cis configuration, but it is only about 0. 01 for compounds with trans configuration. This ratio may serve, therefore, as a diagnostic value for determination of the anomeric configuration of glycosyl esters of polyisoprenyl phosphates. It is proposed that the observed differences in fragmentation patterns of cis-trans sugar nucleotides and polyisoprenyl-P-sugars could be explained in terms of kinetic stereoelectronic effect, and a speculative mechanism of fragmentation of compounds with trans configuration is presented. For compounds with cis configuration, formation of a hydrogen bond between the C-2″(2′) hydroxyl and the phosphate group could play a crucial role in directing the specific fragmentation reactions. Consequently, the described empirical rules would hold only for compounds that have a free 2″(2′)-hydroxyl group and no alternative charge location. Owing to its simplicity, sensitivity, and tolerance of impurities, fast-atom bombardment-tandem mass spectrometry represents a suitable method for determination of the anomeric linkage of glycosyl esters of nucleoside pyrophosphates and polyisoprenyl phosphates if the absolute configuration of glycosyl residue is known and the compound fulfills the above-mentioned requirements.     

COPPER(III) DITHIOCARBAMATE COMPLEXES FROM THIURAM DISULFIDES AND COPPER(I) HALIDES

Abstract

Tetraalkylthiuram disulfides react with Cu(I) halides to give materials of composition Cu₂(dtc)₃X₂, which are presumed to be the ionic species Cu (dtc)₂ ⁺Cu (dtc)X₂ ⁺ containing Cu(II) and Cu(III), on the basis of magnetic susceptibilities, IR and ESCA spectroscopies. In the presence of triphenylphosphine, sulfur abstraction from the monosulfides leads to known monosulfide complexes of Cu(I). Some of the dithiocarbamate complexes are also accessible through degradation of alkylimonium trithiolane and tetrathiolane halocuprate(I) compounds.     

Synthesis and structure of copper(II) coordination compounds with 8-quinolinecarboxaldehyde thio- and 4-phenylthiosemicarbazones

8-Quinolinecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HL) and copper form compounds with a metal: ligand ratio of 1: 1 in which the ligand is either the neutral molecule or the monohydric acid anion. Its acidic properties are enhanced not only as a result of coordination but also due to the electronic effect of substituents in the thiosemicarbazide moiety. 8-Quinolinecarboxaldehyde 4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (HL¹) is coordinated only as the anion. The structures of [Cu(HL)SO₄]₂, [Cu(L)NO₃]₂, and [Cu(L¹)NO₃]₂ · 0.25H₂O, and free HL¹ were studied. The tendency of the complexes to dimerization and association with acid anions or sulfur atoms of the organic ligands as bridges was established. In binuclear compounds with closely spaced magnetic centers, no exchange interaction between them was found. The copper coordination compounds with HL are able to suppress the growth of cancer cells 41M and SK-BR-3 and are promising objects for investigation as anticancer drugs.     

Order—disorder in compounds LiMe2+VO4

The crystallographic order between the Li⁺ and Me²⁺ ions in some compounds LiMeVO₄ (Me = Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) has been investigated by vibrational spectroscopy. The Li⁺ and Me²⁺ ions are disordered in the cobalt and nickel compounds and ordered in the copper and magnesium compounds.     

Hydrogen evolution kinetics on Ni cathodes modified by spontaneous deposition of Ag or Cu

Nickel modification by spontaneous deposition of transition metals such as Ag and Cu is shown as an economic and simple alternative for the activation of hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) on cathodes in alkaline media. The kinetics of HER is studied on Ni/Ag and Ni/Cu catalysts by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) using a rotating disk electrode(RDE). Freshly synthesized catalysts, as well as catalysts subjected to a short chronoamperometric ageing procedure, are analyzed and the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the HER are obtained. The nickel surface modified with transition metals with an outer shell electronic configuration [xd~(10)(x+1)s~1], such as Cu(3d~(10)4s~1)and Ag(4d~(10)5s~1), shows an improved activity for the HER compared to bare nickel. Furthermore, the Ni/Cu catalyst presents a decreased onset potential. The hydrogen evolution rate, measured as current density at –1.5 V(vs. SCE), is similar on Ni/Cu and Ni/Ag electrodes.

NO₃, OH^?, NCS^?, NCO^?, N₃, have been studied by EPR spectroscopy using polycrytalline powders and solutions in DMF. The parameters of the EPR spectra have been used to estimate molecular orbital coefficient, in these compounds and to discuss details of the chemical bonding.     

Studies on Mononuclear Chelates Derived from Substituted Schiff Base Ligands: Synthesis and Characterization of a New 5-Methoxysalicyliden-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Aminoacetophenoneoxime and Its Complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)

New complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with new Schiff bases derived by the condensation of p-aminoacetophenoneoxime with 5-methoxysalicylaldehyde are synthesized. The compounds are characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, electronic spectral data, and molar conductivity. The thermal stabilities of the compounds are also reported. The Schiff base acts as bidentate O,N-donor atoms, and their metal complexes are supposed to possess a tetrahedral geometry with respect to the central metal ion. The general formula of the 5-methoxysalicyliden-p-aminoacetophenoneoxime Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes is Co(L)₂, Ni(L)₂, Cu(L)₂, and Zn(L)₂.     

The regio- and stereospecific synthesis of diarylpropenyllithium compounds from dimethylamino- and dimethylaminomethyl-substituted diarylacetylenes via transmetallation reactions involving diarylpropenylmagnesium and -tin compounds

Dimethylamino- and dimethylaminomethyl-substituted diarylacetylenes were prepared by the Pd(PPh₃)₄-catalyzed coupling reaction of dimethylamino- and dimethylaminomethyl-substituted aryl halides with arylacetylenes.Reaction of the asymmetric diarylacetylenes with methylmagnesium bromide in the presence of NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂ gave stereo- and regio-selectively cis addition products in which the aryl group bearing the built-in ligand (Me₂N or Me₂NCH₂) and the magnesium atom are bonded to the same unsaturated carbon atom. The E-diarylpropenylmagnesium bromides were converted in two successive transmetallation steps into the corresponding E-triphenyltin and Z-lithium compounds with retention of configuration. Depending on the type of solvent, complete inversion of configuration was observed for the Z-diarylpropenyllithium compounds. From the E-lithium compounds the corresponding Z-diarylpropenyltriphenyltin compounds were prepared (Scheme 1).Retention of configuration in the series of transmetallation reactions has unambiguously been established by comparison of the ¹¹⁹Sn¹H, ¹³C¹H and ¹¹⁹Sn¹³C coupling constants observed in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the configurationally pure stereoisomeric pairs.     

Investigation of the interaction between Co sulfide coatings and Cu(I) ions by cyclic voltammetry and XPS

The interaction between the Co sulfide coating formed on a glassy carbon electrode and Cu(I)-ammonia complexes solution was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in 0.1 M KClO₄, 0.1 M NaOH and 0.05 M H₂SO₄ solutions. It was determined that, after treating the cobalt sulfide coating formed by two deposition cycles with Cu(I)-ammonia complexes (0.4 M, pH 8.8–9.0, τ=180 s, T=25±1°C), an exchange occurs between the coating components and Cu(I). Copper(I) substitutes 75% of the Co(III) compounds present in the coating (~1.81×10^–7 mol cm^–2) because of Cu₂O (1.36×10^–7 mol cm^–2) formation. The rest of the Co(II) and Co(III) sulfide compounds are also replaced by copper with formation of Cu_{2– x} S with a stoichiometric coefficient close to 2 (~1.9). After modifying the cobalt sulfide coatings with Cu(I) ions, the total amount of metal (Co+Cu) increases, owing to the sorption of Cu(I) compounds. In addition, the number of deposition cycles decreases from 3 to 1.5 [1 cycle involves cobalt sulfide layer formation and 0.5 cycle is attributed to modifying by Cu(I) ions]. The coatings modified in the above-mentioned manner may be successfully used for plastic electrochemical metallization as Cu_{2– x} S coatings formed by three deposition cycles.

Crystal structure of the copper complex of the Schiff base from 1-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)-2-formylcymantrene and (S)-alanyl-(S)-alanine

The mechanism of stereoselective syntheses of amino acids via glycine Schiff base/metal complexes is discussed on the basis of data from the X-ray structure determination of (OC)₃Mn[η⁵-C₅H₃(CH₂NMe₂)(CHNCHMeC(O)N---CHMeCOO)Cu]. The absolute configuration of the latter complex is S (the Mn and Cu atoms are trans with respect to the Cp plane).     

The relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The thermal dehydration of the compounds M ₂ ^I [M^II(H₂O)₆](SeO₄)₂, where M^I=NH₄, K, Rb, Cs and Tl, and M=Cu and Ni, was studied in order to correlate the course of the decomposition with the known crystal structures. It was found that the stoichiometry of the reactions is the same as that established for the analogous sulphato compounds of Cu(II) and Ni(II), respectively. Because of the discrepancies between the room-temperature crystal structures and the observed decomposition stoichiometries, high-temperature powder diffractograms were taken. These indicated structural changes of the copper(II) compounds during heating. The powder patterns for different structure changes were calculated and compared with the experimental ones. It was shown that during the heating two axial CuH₂O bonds are shortened and two equatorial bonds are lengthened. The observed decomposition stoichiometry is compatible with the formation of four nearly equal Cu-H₂O bonds. The activation energies (E^*) and pre-exponential factors (log A) for the first dehydration reaction of the Cu(II) compounds display the following sequence of M^I: Tl > Rb > NH₄ > K, and they are the higher, the shorter the split equatorial Cu(II) bonds. For the compounds of Ni(II) the sequence of E^* and log A values is K > Tl > NH₄ > Rb > Cs.

Zusammenfassung Zur Aufklärung des Zusammenhanges zwischen dem Zersetzungsweg und der bekannten Kristallstruktur wurde die thermische Dehydration der Verbindungen M ₂ ^I [M^II(H₂O)₆](SeO₄)₂ mit M^I=NH₄, K, Rb, Cs and Tl sowie mit m^II=Cu und Ni untersucht. Man fand für diese Reaktion die gleiche Stöchiometrie wie für die analogen Sulfatverbindungen von Cu(II) bzw. Ni(II). Wegen des Widerspruches zwischen der Kristallstruktur bei Raumtemperatur und der festgestellten Stöchiometrie der Zersetzungsreaktion wurden auch Pulverdiffraktionsaufnahmen bei höheren Temperaturen angefertigt. Bei Cu(II)-Verbindungen konnte während des Erhitzens eine Strukturänderung festgestellt werden. Für verschiedene Strukturänderungen wurden Pulveraufnahmen berechnet und mit den experimentellen verglichen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, da sich während des Erhitzens zwei axiale Cu-H₂O-Bindungen verkürzen und zwei äquatoriale Bindungen strecken. Die beobachtete Zersetzungsstöchiometrie entspricht der Bildung von vier anänhernd gleichen Cu-H₂O-Bindungen. Die Aktivierrungsenergie (E^*) und der präexponentielle Faktor (log A) und der ersten Dehydratationsreaktion der Cu(II)-Verbindungen sinken in folgender Reihenfolge für M^I:Tl, Rb, NH₄, K und sind umso größer, je kürzer die gespaltenen äquatorialen Cu(II)-Bindungen sind. Für Ni(II)-Verbindungen nehmen E^* und log A in folgenden Reichenfolge ab: K, Tl, NH₄, Rb, Cs.
