Synthesis and characterization of novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(III)-Cu(II) with non-cyclic polyether Schiff base

Nine novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(III)-Cu(II) with salicylidene tetraethylene glycol diamine (SALTTA) have been synthesized and characterized. They have the general formulae [L_nC_u2(SALTTA)₂(NO₃)₃](NO₃)₄·3H₂O (Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Sm) and [LnCu₃(SALTTA)₃(NO₃)₅]-(NO₃)₄·4H₂O (Ln=Gd, Tb, Er, Yb, Y). The IR spectra show that v_C=N in the Ln(III)-Cu(II) heteronuclear complexes are splitted up into two peaks with a far distance. It has been confirmed that oxygen atoms in oxyethylene of the ligand are not all coordinated to the central metal ions by both IR and NMR methods.     

Rare earth complexes with noncyclic polyether-methionine Schiff base

A novel Schiff base (TAMET) was synthesized by the condensation of tetraglycol aldehyde with methionine and a mild oxidant CrO3· (C5H5N)2 was selected for the reaction. Seven new rare earth complexes with this Schiff base have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, TG-DTA, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility and IR, especially 1H NMR spectra. Information was obtained from reflectance spectra and the coordination of sulfur atom to rare earths was discussed. The experimental results show that thesecompounds have some biological activity and could dispose of O2.     

Synthesis and catalytic activity of novel heteronuclear Ln (III) -Cu(II) complexes with noncyclic polyether-amino acid Schiff base

A series of novel heteronuclear Ln(III)-CU(II) complexes with noncyclic polyether-amino acid Schiff base were synthesized. The general formula is (LnCu₂(H₂TALY) (NO₃)₅] (NO₃)₂·nH₂O (Ln= La, Nd, Sm, Gd,n = 4; Ln = Yb, Y,n = 3), where H₂TALY = tetraglycol aldehyde bis-lysine Schiff base. It is the first time to report the synthetic method for this new Cu(II) complexes and Ln(III)-Cu(II) heteronuclear complexes. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra. TG-DTA, magnetic susceptibility, and especially by a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer for 2D-COSY NMR. Coordination mechanism and structures of complexes have been suggested as well. Of particular interest is the potential that the novel complexes obtained may be used as a catalyst. which prompted us to investigate them. It shows 100% conversion with the viscosity-average molecular weight 120 000 for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) without addition of any cocatalyst. Furthermore, the complexes with such aliphatic Schiff bases can be used as a good catalyst, which has been confirmed and discussed here. They may be a new kind of catalyst system with the above speciality.

EPR character of gadolinium complexes with noncyclic polyether Schiff bases and its solvent effects

EPR characters of three new gadolinium complexes with noncydic polyether Schiff bases in powder or organic solvents, including various oxyethylene chain lengths and different substituting groups in ligands, are investigated respectively. Some regularities are summed up. The difference of EPR character in various solvents, particularly at different temperatures, has been examined. The 'single peak effect' due to THF solvent at low temperature is observed for the first time. This phenomenon is explicated.     

Synthesis, mechanism and NMR spectra of lanthanide complexes with a novel unsymmetrical Schiff base

Owing to its two unsymmetrical-NH_2 groups sited on different terminals, 2, 6-diaminocaproic acid (lysine) was used as a reactant for synthesizing a novel unsymmetrical Schiff base with salicylaldehyde on one side and ovanillin on the other for the first time. It is a new way to synthesize such a special unsymmetrical Schiff base. It is named "hetero bis-Schiff base" for distinguishing it from others. The synthesis method, formation mechanism as well as twelve new lanthanide complexes with the above ligand are reported and discussed herein. They were characterized by elementary analysis, molar conductivity, IR-spectra and especially by ~1H and ~(13)C NMR spectra. The results obtained may provide a new promising method for synthesizing similar unsymmetrical Schiff bases and their complexes.

Synthesis,crystal structure,antioxidation and fluorescence of two lanthanide complexes with a noncyclic polyether Schiff base ligand

Two lanthanide (Sm and La) complexes with the Schiff base ligand bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine (Bod) have been synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. [Sm(Bod)(NO₃)₃] {bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine samarium(III) trinitrate} (1) is a discrete mononuclear species and [La(Bod)(NO₃)₃(DMF)]_n {bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine dimethylformamide lanthanum(III) trinitrate}_n (2) formed an inorganic coordination polymer. In the two complexes, the metal ions are both ten-coordinate and the geometric structure around the Ln(III) ions can be described as distorted hexadecahedral. An antioxidant assay in vitro shows that complexes 1 and 2 exhibit better scavenging activity than both the ligand and the usual antioxidants on hydroxyl and superoxide radicals. Under excitation at room temperature, a red shift in the fluorescence band of the ligand in the complexes compared with that of the free ligand can be attributed to coordination of the rare earth ions to the ligand. Furthermore, 1 produced characteristic Sm(III) luminescence, which indicates the ligand Bod is a good organic chelator to absorb energy and transfer it to the Sm³⁺ ion.     

Studies on synthesis and magnetic resonance of lanthanide complexes with novel Schiff base derived from noncyclic polyether and β-diketone

Synthesis,characterization and bioactivity of Schiff base copper(II) complexes derived from L-glutamine and L-asparagine

To investigate the structure–activity relationship of L-glutamine and L-asparagine Schiff base copper complexes in applications, L-glutamine and L-asparagine Schiff bases (GV and AV) and their copper complexes [Cu₃(GV)₂(CH₃COO)₂(H₂O)] · 2H₂O (GVC) and [CuAV(H₂O)₃] (AVC) have been synthesized and characterized by molar conductance, elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, ¹H-NMR, and TG-DTG. We examined the geometries of GV, AV, GVC, and AVC through Hartree–Fock method and electronic absorption spectra. We also tested their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis bacteria and antiproliferation activity on human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. The side chain difference between L-glutamine and L-asparagine results in different geometry of GV and AV, which leads to different geometry of GVC and AVC. GVC, a trinuclear Cu(II) complex, shows the highest antibacterial activity and the highest growth inhibition activity on MDA-MB-231 cells. Our results suggest that GVC has potential as an antibacterial and anticancer agent.

As resource- and time-saving and environmentally friendly synthetic methods than conventional one in a solution, microwave, and wet mechanochemical synthesis are tested for l-amino acid derivative Schiff base copper(II) complexes. Herein, we systematically compared efficiency (low-temperature, time, and yield (if possible to detect)) for both conventional solution method and microwave or mechanochemical methods.

Synthesis and spectral characterization of homo-and hetero-dinuclear complexes with a new septadentate Schiff base ligand

Reaction between 3-formylsalicylic acid and bis-(2-aminophenyl)-disulphide yields a septadentate Schiff base with N₂SO₄ donor frame of which the inner compartment is N₂SO₂ and the outer is O₂O₂ type. It forms several complexes with inner copper centre and outer nontransition/transition metal ions. The complexes have been characterised by elemental analyses, spectral (IR, absorption, diffused reflectance), thermal and magnetic data. Dinuclear copper complexes exhibit subnormal magnetic moments (≈ 0.80 BM), showing magnetic exchange, and six-line solid-state ESR spectra at 77 K.     

Synthesis, characterization and structural studies of diorganotin(IV) complexes with Schiff base ligand salicylaldehyde isonicotinylhydrazone

Eight diorganotin(IV) complexes of salicylaldehyde isonicotinylhydrazone (H₂SalN) R₂Sn(SalN) R = t-Bu 1, Ph 2, PhCH₂3, o-ClC₆H₄CH₂4, p-ClC₆H₄CH₂5,m-ClC₆H₄CH₂6,o-FPhCH₂7, p-FC₆H₄CH₂8 were prepared. All complexes 1-8 have been characterized by elemental, IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR analyses. The crystal structures of H₂SalN and complex 1 were determined by X-ray crystallography diffraction analyses. Studies show that H₂SalN is a tridentate planar ligand. For complex 1, the tin atom lies in this plane and forms a five- and six-membered chelate ring with the tridentate ligand. A comparison of the IR spectra of the ligand with those of the corresponding complexes, reveals that the disappearance of the bands assigned to carbonyl unambiguously confirms that the ligand coordinate with the tin in the enol form.
