Synthesis,crystal structures,and properties of copper(II) complexes with 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine

Three new mononuclear copper(II) complexes, [CuL(2-fca)(CH₃OH)]ClO₄?·?CH₃OH (1), [CuL(m-nba)(CH₃OH)]ClO₄ (2), and [CuL(pic)(ClO₄)]?·?CH₃OH (3), were synthesized and structurally characterized, where L is 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine, while 2-fca, m-nba, and pic are the anions of 2-furoic acid, m-nitrobenzoic acid, and picolinic acid, respectively. All of them were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, UV-Vis, and X-ray crystallography. In 1 and 2, the Cu(II) resides within a distorted square-pyramidal N₃O₂ coordination sphere with three nitrogens of L, one carboxylate oxygen, and one methanol. In 3, Cu(II) is coordinated with three nitrogens of L, one nitrogen and one oxygen of picolinate, and one oxygen of perchlorate in a distorted octahedral geometry. Two molecules of 1, 2, and 3 are interacted by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions and strong π–π stacking interactions to form a dinuclear structural unit. The dinuclear units are further connected by H-bonds via perchlorate or lattice methanol to form a 1-D chain for 1 and 2-D network structures for 2 and 3. Hydrogen-bonding and π–π stacking interactions are important for the stabilization of the final supramolecular structures of the three complexes.

Synthesis and characterization of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) perchlorate complexes with bis [(diphenylphosphinyl)methyl] phenylphosphine oxide,bis [(disphenylphosphinyl)methyl]ethyl phosphinate,and bis [(diphenylphosphinyl)methyl] phosphinic acid

The synthesis and characterization of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) perchlorate complexes containing bis [(diphenylphosphinyl)methyl] [phenylphosphine oxide (RPPH), bis [(diphenylphosphinyl)methyl] ethyl phosphinate (RPOEt), and bis [(diphenylphosphinyl)methyl] phosphinic acid (RPOH) have been studied. The substituent at the central phosphorus atom of the ligand is responsible for the types of complexes formed. The new complexes [M(RPPh)₂(ClO₄)₂.nH₂O, [M(RPPh)₃](ClO₄)₂.4H₂O, [M(RPOEt)₂](ClO₄)₂.2H₂O, and [M(RPOH)₃] (ClO₄)₂.nH₂O are characterized as high spin and most of them have an octahedral or distorted octahedral geometry [M = Co(II), Ni(II), or Cu(II); n = 2?5]. The coordination of two P = O groups from one ligand to the metal has been proposed for most of the complexes formed. The coordination of all three P = O groups has been assumed for complexes [M(RPPh)₂](ClO₄)₂.nH₂O and [M(RPOEt)₂](ClO₄)₂.2H₂O.     

The Cu(II) complexes with bis(pyrazole-1-yl)methane and its derivatives: Synthesis,crystal structure,and magnetic properties

The procedures for the synthesis of the Cu(II) complexes with bis(pyrazole-1-yl)methane (L¹), bis(3,5-dimethyl-4-bromopyrazole-1-yl)methane (L²), and bis(3,5-dimethyl-4-iodopyrazole-1-yl)methane (L³) of the composition Cu₂(L¹)₂Br₄ (I), Cu₂(L²)₂Cl₄ (II), Cu(L³)(NO₃)₂ (III), and Cu(L³)(H₂O)(NO₃)₂ · 2H₂O (IV) were developed. The organic ligands in the above complexes are coordinated to Cu(II) in a bidentate cyclic type through the N(2), N(2′) atoms of the pyrazole rings. The molecular and crystal structures of L², L³, II, III, and IV were determined by X-ray diffraction. The study of the μ_eff(T) function in a temperature interval 2–300 K showed that compound I, which exhibited ferromagnetic exchange interactions in the chains, undergoes transition to antiferromagnetic state with weak ferromagnetism. The exchange antiferromagnetic interactions predominate in compound II.

Synthesis,crystal structures,and properties of copper(II) dicarboxylate complexes with [bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amido]

Four new complexes, [Cu₂(Bpca)₂(L¹)(H₂O)₂] · 3H₂O (I), [Cu₂(Bpca)₂(L²)(H₂O)₂] (II), [Cu₂(Bpca)₂(L³)] · 2H₂O (III), [Cu₂(Bpca)₂(L¹)(H₂O)] · 2H₂O (IV) (Bpca = bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amido, H₂L¹ = glutaric acid, H₂L² = adipic acid, H₂L³ = suberic acid, H₂L⁴ = azelaic acid) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods (CIF files CCDC nos. 1432836 (I), 1432835 (II), 817411 (III), and 817412 (IV)), elemental analyses, IR spectra. Structural analyses reveal that compounds I, II, and IV have similar structures [Cu(Bpca)]⁺ units bridged by dicarboxylate forming dinuclear units, whereas the dinuclear of compound III are edge-shared through two carboxylate oxygen atoms of different suberate anions. Hydrogen bonds are response for the supramolecular assembly of compounds I to IV. The temperature-dependent magnetic property of III was also investigated in the temperature range of 2 to 300 K, and the magnetic behaviour suggests weak antiferromagnetic coupling exchange.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and electronic properties of bis(N-2-bromophenyl-salicydenaminato)copper(II) complex

A new series of complexes of the type bis(N-substituted-salicydenaminato)copper(II) (1–9), have been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV–Vis and elemental analysis methods. The molecular structure of bis(N-2-bromophenyl-salicydenaminato)copper(II) (6), was determined using X-ray crystallography. There are two independent molecules in the structure. Each shows a neutral, mononuclear, four-coordinate, square-planar trans-Cu[N₂O₂] geometry and, in each, the Cu atom and the ligating atoms are coplanar. The chelating N–Cu–O angle is 91.39(11)° for molecule one and 91.20(11)° for molecule two, whereas the non-chelating N–Cu–O angles are 88.61(11) and 88.80(11)°, respectively. The trans-N–Cu–N and trans-O–Cu–O bond angles are 180°. The electronic absorption spectra of copper(II) complexes (1–9), indicate that the d–d band energy is dependent on the nature and position of substituent on phenyl ring of the salicyldenimine ligand. The UV–Vis spectra in various solvents were measured and a relationship between absorption spectra and dielectric constant of the solvents is reported.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and DNA-binding properties of two nickel(II) complexes with 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane derivatives

[Ni(obb)(DMF)₂(H₂O)]·(Pic)₂·0.5DMF (1) and [Ni(Etobb)₂]·(Pic)₂·2DMF (2) (obb = 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane, Etobb = 1,3-bis(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane, Pic = picrate) have been synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The structures of both complexes have been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The coordination geometries of 1 and 2 can be described as distorted octahedra. The interaction of the nickel(II) complexes with calf thymus DNA was investigated by electronic absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that 1 and 2 bind to DNA in an intercalation mode, and their binding affinity for DNA follows the order 1 > 2. DNA-binding behaviors can be attributed to the large coplanar aromatic rings in the V-shaped ligand and steric hindrance.     

Synthesis,structure, and antioxidative properties of a copper(II) complex with 1,2-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)ethane ligand

1,2-Bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)ethane (bbe) and its copper(II) complex, {[Cu(bbe)Br₂]₂}·2DMF ( 1 ), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ultraviolet–visible, and infrared spectra. The single crystal structure analysis of 1 shows two crystallographically independent but chemically identical [Cu(bbe)Br₂] molecules. The coordination geometry of the copper atoms may best be described as a distorted tetrahedron (τ₄ = 0.740 for Cu1 and 0.696 for Cu2). The cyclic voltammogram of complex 1 represents quasi-reversible Cu²⁺/Cu⁺ pairs. in vitro antioxidant tests showed that complex 1 has significant antioxidant activity against superoxide and hydroxy radicals. Photoluminescence investigations showed that the fluorescence intensity of complex 1 is significantly weaker than that of the ligand. This may be due to the paramagnetic effect of divalent copper to cause quenching of fluorescence.     

Synthesis,structure and antioxidant properties of manganese(II), zinc(II) and cobalt(II) complexes with bis(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)allylamine

Three new metal complexes, namely: [Mn(AIDB)Cl₂]·DMF (1), [Zn(AIDB)Br₂]·CH₃OH (2) and [Co(AIDB)Cl₂]·CH₃OH (3) having a ligand bis(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)allylamine (AIDB), have been synthesized in high yields and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivities, IR, UV–Vis spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural analysis revealed that all the three complexes 1–3 have five-coordinated trigonal bipyramid geometry where the degree of distorting is 1>3>2. In vitro antioxidant activity assay demonstrates that the complexes 1 and 3 display high scavenging activity against hydroxyl (OH·) and superoxide (O₂^−·) radicals.

     

Synthesis,spectral and electrochemical properties of mixed-ligand ruthenium(II) complexes of bis(pyrid-2-yl)- and bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-dithioether ligands: Effect of an asymmetric diimine co-ligand

Two new mixed-ligand Ru(II) complexes [Ru(pdto)(dppt)](ClO₄)₂ (1) and [Ru(bbdo)(dppt)](ClO₄)₂ (2), where pdto = 1,8-bis(pyrid-2-yl)-3,6-dithiaoctane, bbdo = 1,8-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-3,6-dithiaoctane and dppt = 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine, have been isolated and characterised by elemental analysis. NMR and electronic absorption and emission spectral and electrochemical techniques have been used to investigate the solution structures and electronic properties of the complexes. The ¹H and ¹³C spectra of the complexes in solution reveal that the N₂S₂ donor set of the pdto and bbdo ligands is “cis-α” coordinated and the dppt ligand is chelated to Ru(II) through both triazine N2 and pyridine nitrogen atoms. The proton chemical shifts of the phenyl rings of dppt are not affected much upon coordination, supporting the triazine N2 rather than N4 coordination. The anomalous upfield shifts of the H₆₁ and H₆₂ (1) and H₇₂ and H₈₁ (2) protons are caused by the shielding magnetic anisotropy due to the ring currents of the py and tra rings of dppt, which are forced to be coplanar by coordination. The py and bzim rings of pdto and bbdo are obliged to rotate away from dppt and the Ru–N_py and Ru–N_bzim bonds lengthen in order to minimise the steric clashes with dppt. The c.i.s values for 1 are less positive than those for 2 suggesting that the ligand bzim nitrogens of bbdo rather than the py nitrogens of pdto are involved in stronger σ-bonding with Ru(II). Both the complexes display a strong MLCT transition (1, 470; 2, 515 nm) along with intense intraligand transitions in the UV region, and when excited in the MLCT band an emission band (650 nm) is observed for both 1 and 2. In acetonitrile solution they show a quasi-reversible Ru(II)/Ru(III) redox couple (E_1/2, 1, 1.18; 2, 0.90 V). Two more redox processes (E_1/2, 1, −0.97, −1.09; 2, −1.06, −1.42 V) involving the coordinated dppt ligand are also observed. A plot of the difference between the metal oxidation and ligand reduction potentials of the complexes versus the absorption or emission maxima is linear, illustrating that the lowest π^∗ orbitals of dppt are involved in the redox, absorption and emission processes in the complexes. Electrochemical parameterisation of the Ru(II)/Ru(III) redox potentials of the present complexes has been carried out using Lever’s method and the calculated ligand reduction potential E_L(L) correlates well with the observed Ru(II)/Ru(III) redox potentials.

Ruthenium monoterpyridine complexes with 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine: Synthesis,spectral properties and structure

Ruthenium monoterpyridine complexes with the tridentate 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (LH₂), [Ru(trpy)(LH₂)]²⁺, [1]²⁺ and [Ru(trpy)(L²⁻)], 2 (trpy = 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) have been synthesized. The complexes have been authenticated by elemental analyses, UV–Vis, FT-IR, ¹H NMR spectra and their single crystal X-ray structures. Complexes [1]²⁺ and 2 exhibit strong MLCT band near 475 and 509 nm, respectively, and are found to be very much dependent on solution pH. The successive pH dependent dissociations of the N–H protons of benzimidazole moiety of LH₂ in [1]²⁺ lead to the formation of 2. The proton induced inter-convertibility of [1]²⁺ and 2 has been monitored via UV–Vis spectroscopy and redox features. The two pK_a values, 5.75 and 7.70, for complex [1]²⁺ have been determined spectroscopically.

Both complexes exhibit an elongated octahedral coordination environment with two Hambi ligands situated at the equatorial positions in a trans fashion [Cu—N bond distances range from 1.940(9) to 2.031(9) Å]. In the second complex, a new coordination mode, in which dicyanamide coordinates to copper(II) as a monodentate ligand with the amide nitrogen atom, was observed.

Synthesis,crystal structure and cyclic voltammetry of square- pyramidal acetatoaqua [(4-methylimidazol-5-yl)methylene] histamine copper(II) perchlorate

The copper atom in acetatoaqua[[(4-methylimidazol-5- yl)methylene]histamine]-copper(II) perchlorate (1) is N,N,N-chelated by the [(4-methylimidazol- 5-yl)methylene]histamine [Cu–N=1.969(3) 2.019(3) Å] donor ligand. The aqua ligand occupies the apical site of the square-pyramidal coordination polyhedron [Cu–O= 2.365(3) Å], whose fifth site is occupied by the carboxy oxygen atom of the monodentate acetato anion [Cu–O=1.960(3)Å]. Cyclic voltammetry in MeCN and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) gives a voltage of –0.39 and –0.37 V versus s.c.e, which compares well with the value obtained for Cu,Zn superoxide dimuthase itself.
