Electrophilic Copper(II) → Metal(II) Substitution in Gelatin-Immobilized Copper(II) Hexacyanoferrate(II) Matrix Implants

Contact of thin layers of gelatin-immobilized copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) matrices with aqueous solutions of Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) chlorides results in partial substitution of these ions for Cu(II) to give (dd)-heterobinuclear hexacyanoferrates(II) of copper(II) and the corresponding double-charged ion.     

Synthetic, spectral and solution studies on imidazolate-bridged copper(II)-copper(II) and copper(II)-zinc(II) complexes

Synthesis, spectral and solution studies on 2-ethyl imidazolate-bridged (2-EtIm) homo-binuclear copper(II)-copper(II) and hetero-binuclear copper(II)-zinc(II) homologue are described. Magnetic moment values of homo-binuclear complexes indicate that the imidazolate group can mediate antiferromagnetic interactions. Optical spectra of hetero-binuclear complex at varying pH values suggest that the imidazolate-bridged complex is stable over the pH-range 7.15–10.0.     

Thermal decomposition of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) hippurates

The hippurates of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) were isolated from the solution, their quantitative composition and the way of coordination of metal — ligand were determined and the conditions and products of thermal decomposition during heating in air atmosphere up to 1273 K were studied. The complexes of Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) heated lose some water molecules and then decompose to MO. The hippurate of Co(II) heated loses some water molecules and then decomposes to CoO with intermediate formation Co₃O₄.

Zusammenfassung Aus Lösung wurden die Co(II)-, Ni(II)-, Cu(II)- und Zn(II)-Salze der Hippursäure gewonnen, ihre quantitative Zusammensetzung sowie die Art der Koordination der Metall-Ligandenbindung bestimmt. Weiterhin wurden die Bedingungen und Produkte der thermischen Zersetzung beim Erhitzen in einer Luftatmosphäre bis 1273 K untersucht. Die Komplexe von Ni(II), Cu(II) und Zn(II) verlieren beim Erhitzen ein paar Moleküle Wasser und zersetzen sich anschlieend zu MO. Co(II)-hippurat gibt beim Erhitzen einige Moleküle Wasser ab und zersetzt sich dann über die Zwischenstufe Co₃O₄ zu CoO.

     

Cork biomass as biosorbent for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II)

The removal of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) from solutions using biosorption in cork powder is described. The adsorption isotherms were determined, along with the effect of different variables, such as the solid–liquid ratio, temperature and pH on the removal efficiency of the metals. The potentiometric titration curve of the cork biomass was determined and some zeta-potential studies were carried out. The effect of the pre-treatment by Fisher esterification on the biosorption properties of cork is also presented. It was concluded that the adsorption of the heavy metals was favoured by an increase in pH. The degree of heavy metal removal is directly related to the concentration of cork biomass, and the maximum sorption capacity of cork biomass for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) was 0.63, 0.76 and 0.34 meq./g, respectively. It is shown that ion exchange plays a more important role in the sorption of Cu(II) and Ni(II) on cork biomass than in the sorption of Zn(II). The pre-treatment by Fisher esterification confirmed the important role of the carboxylic groups in binding of Cu(II) and Ni(II) and showed that they are the only binding sites for Zn(II).

Spectrothermal studies on Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) salicylato (1,10-phenanthroline) complexes

The cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc atoms in bis(1,10-phenanthroline)bis(salicylato-O)metal(II) monomeric octahedral complexes [M(Hsal)₂(phen)₂]·nH₂O, (M: Co(II), n=1; Cu(II), n=1.5 and Ni(II), Zn(II), n=2) are coordinated by the salicylato monoanion (Hsal) through the carboxyl oxygen in a monodentate fashion and by the 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) molecule through the two amine nitrogen atoms in a bidentate chelating manner. On the basis of the DTG_max, the thermal stability of the hydrated complexes follows order: Ni(II) (149°C)>Co(II) (134°C)>Zn(II) (132°C)>Cu(II) (68°C) in static air atmosphere. In the second stage, the pyrolysis of the anhydrous complexes takes place. The third stage of decomposition is associated with a strong exothermic oxidation process (DTA curves: 410, 453, 500 and 450°C for the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes, respectively). The final decomposition products, namely CoO, NiO, CuO and ZnO, were identified by IR spectroscopy. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and structural studies of complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with substituted chalcones

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with 3-(2-pyridyl)-1-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-2-propen-1-one (PHPO), 3-(1-naphthyl)-1-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-2-propen-1-one (NHPO) and 3-(3,4-dimethoxy phenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-2-propen-1-one (DMPHPO) have been synthesized and characterized by analytical, conductivity, thermal, magnetic, infrared, electronic and electron spin resonance data. Based on analytical data the stoichiometry of the complexes has been found to be 1 : 2. The conductivity data show that all these complexes are non-electrolytes. The infrared spectral data indicate that the ligand PHPO acts as uninegative tridentately towards Co(II) and Ni(II) and bidentately with Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II). Ligands like NHPO and DMPHPO act as uninegative bidentately with all the metal ions. The electronic spectral data suggest that all the Co(II) complexes and Ni(II) of PHPO complex are octahedral and all the Cu(II) and Ni(II) of NHPO and DMPHPO complex are square-planar. The complex of Zn(II) and Cd(II) are tetrahedral. ESR parameters of Cu(II) complexes have been calculated and relevant conclusions have been drawn with respect to the nature of bonds present in them.     

New Complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with 3,3-dimethylglutaric Acid

Conditions for the preparation of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)3,3-dimethylglutarates were investigated and their quantitative composition, solubility in water at 293 K and magnetic moments were determined. IR spectra and powder diffraction patterns of the complexes prepared with general formula MC₇H₁₀O₄⋅nH₂O (n=0−2) were recorded and their thermal decomposition in air were studied. During heating the hydrated complexes of Mn(II),Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) are dehydrated in one step and next all the anhydrous complexes decompose to oxides directly (Mn, Co, Zn) or with intermediate formation free metal (Ni,Cu) or oxocarbonates (Cd). The carboxylate groups in the complexes studied are bidentate. The magnetic moments for the paramagnetic complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)attain values 5.62, 5.25, 2.91 and 1.41 M.B., respectively. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic studies of biologically active tetraazamacrocyclic complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II)

Complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) were synthesized with the macrocyclic ligand, i.e., 2,3,9,10-tetraketo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacycoletradecane. The ligand was prepared by the [2 + 2] condensation of diethyloxalate and 1,3-diamino propane and characterized by elemental analysis, mass, IR and ¹H NMR spectral studies. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, electronic and electron paramagnetic resonance spectral studies. The molar conductance measurements of Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes in DMF correspond to non electrolyte nature, whereas Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes are 1:2 electrolyte. On the basis of spectral studies an octahedral geometry has been assigned for Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, whereas square planar geometry assigned for Pd(II) and Pt(II). In vitro the ligand and its metal complexes were evaluated against plant pathogenic fungi (Fusarium odum, Aspergillus niger and Rhizoctonia bataticola) and some compounds found to be more active as commercially available fungicide like Chlorothalonil.

A study is reported of the formation of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Ag(I) and Cd(II) hexacyanocobaltates. The results show that the precipitates form by reaction of the metal ions with KCo(CN)(6)(2-) ion-pairs in 1:1 ratio, followed by solid phase transformations.     

Reactions of 2-pyridylphenylacetonitrile and 1,2-dicyano-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-di(2-pyridyl)ethane with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) chlorides and copper(II) bromide

Summary 2-Pyridylphenylacetonitrile (ppa) is oxidized by copper(II) halides in 1,2-dichloroethane to 1,2-dicyano-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-di(2-pyridyl)ethane (dcppe), yielding 41 complexes of dcppe with copper(II) dihalide, [CuX₂(dcppe)₄] (green). Nickel(II) and zinc(II) chlorides react with ppa giving complexes of a general formula [MCl₂(ppa)₂].Dcppe reacts with copper(II), zinc(II) chlorides and copper(II) bromide yielding complexes of formulae [CuCl₂(dcppe)₄] (yellow), [ZnCl₂(dcppe)₂] and [CuBr₂(dcppe)]. No reaction is observed with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chlorides.     

Spectrothermal studies of 1,10-phenanthroline complexes of Co(II), NI(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) orotates

The 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) orotates were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, spectral methods (UV-vis and FTIR) and thermal analysis techniques (TG, DTG and DTA). The Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions in diaquabis(1,10-phenanthroline)metal(II) diorotate octahedral complexes [M(H₂O)₂(phen)₂](H₂Or)₂·nH₂O (M=Co(II), n=2.25; Ni(II), n=3; Cu(II) and Cd(II), n=2) are coordinated by two aqua ligands and two moles of phen molecules as chelating ligands through their two nitrogen atoms. The monoanionic orotate behaves as a counter ion in the complexes. On the basis of the first DTG_max, the thermal stability of the hydrated complexes follows the order: Cd(II), 68°C 68°C     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Cobalt(II), Nickel(II) and Copper(II) with Acenaphthenequinone Monosemicarbazone (AQSC)

Cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexation with acenaphthenequinone monosemicarbazone (AQSC) has been studied spectrophotometrically. The Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes are soluble in ethanol medium and exhibit maximum absorbance at 410, 420 and 430 nm, respectively. The sensitivity of the reactions are 0.012, 0.02 and 0.01 μg/cm² for cobalt, nickel and copper systems. All the three complexes show maximum and constant absorbance in the pH range 8.4 to 9.8, 6.3 to 8.4 and 5.4 to 8.0 for Co-AQSC, Ni-AQSC and Cu-AQSC, respectively. Nickel and copper in some alloys have also been analysed.     

Crystal structures of ethylenediaminecadmium(II) tetracyanocadmate(II)-benzene(1/2) and ethylenediaminecadmium(II) tetracyanocadmate(II)

The crystal structure of ethylenediaminecadmium(II) tetracyanocadmate(II)-benzene(1/2),I, has been redetermined based on 1632 reflections collected anew for the crystal coated with epoxy resin, with a final conventionalR=0.038;I crystallizes in space groupP4₂22, witha=b=8.265(1) andc=15.512(3) Å, andZ=2. Ethylenediaminecadmium(II) tetracyanocadmate(II),II, is concluded to be identical with the residual metal complex host ofI, remaining after the liberation of the guest benzene molecules;II crystallizes from an aqueous solution containing bis- or tris-ethylenediaminecadmium(II) tetracyanocadmate(II) in space groupI4₁/acd, witha=b=14.366(1) andc=23.771(4) Å, andZ=16; refinement led to a conventionalR=0.043 for 1181 reflections. The bridging ethylenediamine ligand inI turns to a chelating one inII; dissociation and recombination should occur in the coordination sphere of the six-coordinate cadmium atom, whenII is derived fromI by the liberation of the guest molecules.

BisN(chlorophenyl)dithiocarbamato complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), palladium(II) and platinum(II)

Summary Cobalt(II), nickel(II), palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes witho-(OCD),m-(MCD) andp-chlorophenyldithiocarbamate (PCD) ligands have been synthesised and characterised by chemical analyses, molecular weight determinations, conductance measurements, electronic and i.r. spectral studies. The thermal behaviour of the complexes has been studied by t.g. and d.t.a. techniques in a static air atmosphere and heats of reaction of different decomposition steps have been calculated from the d.t.a. curves. The thermal decomposition products of the complexes were identified by elemental analyses and i.r. spectra.     

The thermal properties of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) iminodiacetates

The thermal properties of the Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes of iminodiacetic acid (H₂IMDA) were determined using TG, DTG and DSC techniques. The complexes, of general formula, MIMDA-2H₂O evolved water of hydration from 50 to 150°C which was followed by the decomposition of the anhydrous complex in the 250 to 400°C temperature range. The thermal stability, as determined by procedural decomposition temperatures, was: Ni(II) >Co(II) >Cu(II). The thermal stability is discussed in terms of IR spectra, ΔH, and ΔS, as well as thermal data.     

Isomorphous replacement of M(II) ions in M(II)-Gd(III) dimers (M(II) = Cu(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II)): magnetic studies of the products

Complexes [M(II)Gd(III){pyCO(OEt)pyC(OH)(OEt)py}?](ClO?)?·EtOH [M(II) = Cu(II) (1), Mn(II) (2), Ni(II) (3), Co(II) (4) and Zn(II) (5)] crystallize in the monoclinic Cc space group and contain one hexacoordinate M(II) ion and one enneacoordinate Gd(III) ion, bridged by three {pyCO(OEt)pyC(OH)(OEt)py}? ligands. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a ferromagnetic interaction for 1 and antiferromagnetic interactions for 2-4. Using the ? = -J?(Gd(III))?(M(II)) spin Hamiltonian formalism, fits to the magnetic susceptibility data yielded J values of +0.32 cm?1 for 1, -1.7 cm?1 for 2, and -0.22 cm?1 for 3. In complex 4, the orbital contributions of Co(II) precluded the determination of the magnetic coupling. The complex follows the Curie-Weiss law with θ = -2.07 K (-1.44 cm?1).     

Ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions in face-sharing trioctahedral Ni(II)Mn(II)Ni(II) and Ni(II)Fe(III)Ni(II) complexes with the same 1-5/2-1 spin system

Two heterotrinuclear complexes, [Mn(II)(Ni(II)L)2].2CH3OH (where H3L = 1,1,1-tris(N-salicylideneaminomethyl)ethane) and [Fe(III)(Ni(II)L)2]NO3.C2H5OH, consisting of three face-sharing octahedra have been prepared; although these complexes have closely related structures and have the same 1-5/2-1 spin system, they show completely different magnetic interactions between the adjacent metal ions: ferromagnetic (Ni(II)-Mn(II)) and antiferromagnetic (Ni(II)-Fe(III)).     

pi-Indenyl tin(II) and lead(II) compounds

The syntheses and structures of the first indenyl-substituted tin(II) complexes, [Sn{1,3-(SiMe3)2C9H5}2] and [Sn(C5Me5)-{1,3-(SiMe3)2C9H5}], are described; the lead(II) analogue of the latter compound has also been prepared and structurally characterized.     

Cadmium(II) and zinc(II) complexes of S-confused thiaporphyrin

The synthesis of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-2-thia-21-carbaporphyrin [S-confused thiaporphyrin, (SCPH)H] was optimized. The formation of the phlorin was detected, which was saturated at the meso carbon adjacent to thiophene. Phlorin converted readily to (SCPH)H in the final oxidation process. Insertion of cadmium(II) and zinc(II) into S-confused thiaporphyrin yielded (SCPH)Cd(II)Cl and (SCPH)Zn(II)Cl complexes. The macrocycle acted as a monoanionic ligand. Three nitrogen atoms and the C(21)H fragment of the inverted thiophene occupied equatorial positions. The compensation of the metal charge required the apical chloride coordination. The characteristic C(21)H resonances of the inverted thiophene ring were located at 1.71 and 1.86 ppm in the 1H NMR spectra of (SCPH)Cd(II)Cl and (SCPH)Zn(II)Cl, respectively. The proximity of the thiophene fragment to the metal ion induced direct scalar couplings between the spin-active nucleus of the metal (111/113Cd) and the adjacent 1H nucleus (J(CdH) = 8.97 Hz). The interaction of the metal ion and C(21)H also was reflected by significant changes of C(21) chemical shifts: (SCPH)Zn(II)Cl, 92.9 ppm and (SCPH)Cd(II)Cl, 88.2 ppm (free ligand (SCPH)H, 123.7 ppm). The X-ray analysis performed for (SCPH)Cd(II)Cl confirmed the side-on cadmium-thiophene interaction. The Cd...C(21) distance (2.615(7) A) exceeded the typical Cd-C bond lengths, but was much shorter than the corresponding van der Waals contact. The density functional theory (DFT) was applied to model the molecular structures of zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of S-confused thiaporphyrin. Subsequent AIM analysis demonstrated that the accumulation of electron density between the metal and thiophene, which is necessary to induce these couplings, was fairly small. A bond path linked the cadmium(II) ion to the proximate C(22) carbon of the thiophene.
