Synthesis and X-ray crystallography of diverse metal complexes derived from xanthone-crown ether

A series of sandwich, monomeric, dimeric and polymeric complexes supported with 1,8-xanthone-18-crown-5 (L) were synthesised. Mass spectrum experiments suggested the existence of sandwich and monomeric complexes in solution. And the structure characterisations of six new complexes by single-crystal X-ray diffraction show the strong coordination of xanthone-18-crown-5 carbonyl oxygen with alkaline earth metal cation, which results high fluorescent increase in alkaline earth metal complexes.     

Hydrogen-bonded assemblies of trinuclear metal string complexes

Three kinds of trinuclear metal string complexes, [Ni₃(dpa)₄(L¹)₂]?·?H₂O?·?C₂H₅OH (L¹?=?(E)-3-(2-hydroxyl-phenyl)-acrylic acid) (1), [Ni₃(dpa)₄(L²)₂]?·?2C₂H₅OC₂H₅ (L²?=?(E)-3-(3-hydroxyl-phenyl)-acrylic acid) (2) and [Ni₃(dpa)₄(L³)₂]?·?3CH₂Cl₂?·?1.5CH₃OH (L³?=?(E)-3-(4-hydroxyl-phenyl)-acrylic acid) (3). (dpa^??=?bis(2-pyridyl)amido), have been synthesized. The structures of 1 and 2 have been analyzed by the X-ray single-crystal diffraction showing hydrogen-bonded networks.

Synthesis and biological activity of trinuclear seven-coordinated tin(IV) complexes derived from tridentate ligands and trimesic acid

The synthesis of trinuclear Sn(IV) complexes 5a–h – prepared in a one-pot reaction of 2-amino-4-R-phenol (R=H, Me, Cl, NO₂), 2-pyridine-carboxaldehyde, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, H₃BTC), and dibutyl and dioctyltin oxides – is described. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 5a and 5b were also determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The trinuclear tin system is formed by bridges through the carboxylate moieties. The metal centers are seven-coordinate and the coordination polyhedron of tin can be depicted as distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal (PBP), where the equatorial plane consists of three oxygens and two nitrogens and the organic groups occupy the axial positions. The work presented here combines the useful properties of Schiff bases and H₃BTC ligands in the formation of organotin(IV) complexes, and investigates the likely antioxidant (DPPH and TBARS) and anti-inflammatory activity (TPA) of the new substances.     

Transition metal complexes derived from 2-mercaptobenzothiazole

Summary Complexes of ethyl S-(2-benzothiazolyl)mercaptoacetate (e.s.m.) with Mn^II, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II have been prepared and their structures assigned on the basis of analytical, spectral (i.r., electronic, e.p.r. and XPS), magnetic data, molar conductance and t.g.-d.t.a. methods.     

Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of oligometallic systems derived from di- and trinuclear copper(II) amido-oximate complexes

Three heterometallic complexes [M(H(2)O)(n)][Cu(3)L(2)(H(2)O)] (M = Mn(2+), Co(2+) or Ba(2+)) and one dinuclear compound (CuDien)(CuL{H(2)O}) were prepared by interaction of anionic compounds Cu(3)L(2)(2-) or CuL(2-) with the corresponding cations (H(4)L = 1,9-dicyano-1,9-bis(hydroximino)-3,7-diazanonane-2,8-dione; Dien = 1,5-diamino-3-azapentane). The complexes [M(H(2)O)(n)][Cu(3)L(2)(H(2)O)] have a polymeric structure, formed via oligomerization of Cu(3)L(2)(2-) units and additionally, in the case of the Ba-salt, by binding of Cu(3)L(2)(2-) units through Ba(2+). Antiferromagnetic interactions occur in all the complexes, while for [Co(H(2)O)(6)][Cu(3)L(2)(H(2)O)] there is evidence of some ferromagnetic ordering at low temperatures. The values of J are lower in magnitude than for similar, previously reported systems, which is attributed to the electron-withdrawing effect of the ligand cyano groups.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic and thermal studies of transition metal complexes derived from benzil and diethylenetriamine

A macrocyclic ligand, bdta (where bdta=3,6,9,12,15,18-hexaaza-1,2,10,11-tetraphenyl-2,9,11,18-tetraenecyclododecane) has been prepared by cyclocondensation of benzil with diethylenetriamine which efficiently encapsulates transition as well as pseudo-transition metal ions leading to the formation of M(bdta)Cl2 type complexes [where M=Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)]. The analytical, spectroscopic and magnetic moment data suggests an octahedral geometry for all the complexes. EPR spectra of Mn(II) and Cu(II) show considerable exchange interaction in the complex. They are non-conducting in DMSO. The TGA profile of the ligand and its complexes are identical and consists of two discreet stages. The voltammogram of Cu-complex exhibits a quasi-reversible one-electron transfer wave for Cu(II)/Cu(I) couple.     

Syntheses and catalytic activities of Group 4 metal complexes derived from C(cage)-appended cyclohexyloxocarborane trianion

The reaction of Li[closo-1-Me-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀] with cyclohexene oxide produced closo-1-Me-2-(2′-hydroxycyclohexyl)-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀ (1) in 86% yield. Decapitation of (1) with potassium hydroxide in refluxing ethanol gave the corresponding cage-opened potassium salt of the carborane anion, [nido-1-Me-2-(2′-hydroxycyclohexyl)-1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀]⁻ (2) in 82% yield. Deprotonation of (2) with two equivalents of n-butyllithium in THF at −78 °C, followed by its further reaction with anhydrous MCl₄ · 2THF (M = Ti, Zr) produced the corresponding d⁰-half-sandwich metallacarboranes, closo-1-M(Cl)-2-Me-3-(2′-σ-O-cyclohexyl)-η⁵-2,3-C₂B₉H₉ (3 M = Zr; 4 M = Ti), in 59% and 51% yields, respectively. Reaction of Li[closo-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₁] with Merrifield’s peptide resin (1%) in refluxing THF gave the ortho-carborane-functionalized polymer (5) in 88% yield. The corresponding closo-1-polystyryl-2-(2′-hydroxycyclohexyl)-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀ (6) was produced in 94% yield by refluxing a mixture of the lithium salt of (5) and cyclohexene oxide in THF for 2 days. Compound (6) was decapitated, deprotonated and then reacted with ZrCl₄ · 2THF to produce a polymer-supported d⁰-half-sandwich metallacarborane closo-1-Zr(Cl)-2-polystyryl-3-(2′-σ-O-cyclohexyl)-η⁵-2,3-C₂B₉H₉ (7) in 41% yield. Compounds (3) and (7), in the presence of MMAO-7 (13% ISOPAR-E), were found to catalyze the polymerization of ethylene and vinyl chloride in toluene to give high molecular weight PE (9.4 × 10³ (M_w/M_n = 1.8)) and PVC (2.1 × 10³ (M_w/M_n = 1.6)), respectively.     

Transition metal complexes derived from 2-iminocyclohexanedithiocarboxylic acid

Summary The ligating properties of 2-iminocyclohexanedithiocarboxylic acid were investigated. Complexes with halides of manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, electron and i.r.¹H n.m.r. spectral studies. The results are concordant with a bidentate coordination of the—CS₂ group to the metal ions.     

Exploration and characterisation of novel bronze patinas derived from simple coordination complexes

The chemical reactions of aqueous solutions containing simple transition-metal salts and bidentate nitrogen ligands on bronze surfaces results in a series of brightly coloured patinas. Chemically and physically robust patinas involve a chemical oxidation of the copper atoms within the bronze surface, either by an applied ferric salt or atmospheric dioxygen. The combination of Fe(NO(3))(3)·9H(2)O and 2,2'-bipyridine produces a coloured patina that is either red or blue, depending on whether oxygen was present during application, due to the presence of [Fe(bpy)(3)](2+) or [Fe(bpy)(3))](3+), respectively. Application of pyrazine produces a bright orange patina, due to the formation of Cu(i) coordination polymers on the bronze surface. Application of Fe(NO(3))(3)·9H(2)O and tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) yields a forest green coloration, believed to be due to a bimetallic copper-iron complex, while TMEDA alone affords the sapphire blue of [Cu(TMEDA)(2)](2+). These patinas were characterized with ESI-TOF MS, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and IR spectrophotometry, to determine the molecular basis for the patina chromophores.     

Synthesis and characterisation of new 2-bromovinyl selenides and their platinum group metal complexes

The synthesis of the 2-bromocyclooctenyl selenides, C₈H₁₂(Br)SeR (3a: R = Me; 3b: R = Et; 3c: R = CH₂Ph), and the 2-bromocyclohexenyl selenides, C₆H₈(Br)SeR (4a: R = Me; 4b: R = Et; 4c: R = CH₂Ph), is described. Compounds 3a–e and 4a, b react with K₂PtCl₄ to yield square planar platinum (II) complexes of the form trans-PtL₂Cl₂ (5a: L = 3a; 5b: L = 3b; 5c: L = 3c; 6a: L = 4a; 6b: L = 4b). The analogous palladium(II) complex trans-PdL₂Cl₂ (7c: L = 4c) has been prepared from Pd(C₆H₅CN)₂Cl₂. All new compounds have been characterised by NMR, infrared and mass spectroscope and microanalysts. Complexes 5a–c, 6a, b and 7c exist as a racemic mixture of two diastereoisomers related by inversion at selenium. NMR spectroscope shows that interconversion between these two isomers is slow for 5a–e, but faster for 6a, b and 7c.     

Synthesis,characterisation and crystal structures of three trinuclear cadmium(II) complexes with multidentate Schiff base ligands

Three novel Schiff base Cd(II) trimeric complexes, [Cd₃(L¹)₂(SCN)₂(CF₃COO)₂] (1), [Cd₃(L¹)₂(SCN)₂(HCONMe₂)] (2) and [Cd₃(L²)₂{N(CN)₂}₂] (3) have been prepared from two different symmetrical Schiff bases H₂L¹ and H₂L² (where H₂L¹ = N¹,N³-bis(salicylideneimino)diethylenetriamine, a potentially pentadentate Schiff base with a N₃O₂ donor set, and H₂L² = N¹,N³-bis(3-methoxysalicylideneimino)diethylenetriamine, a potentially heptadentate Schiff base with a N₃O₄ donor set). All the complexes have been synthesised under similar synthetic procedures and their crystal structures have been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The ligands and their metal complexes have been characterised by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Among the three complexes, 1 and 3 are linear whereas 2 is a cyclic trimer. In 1 and 3, all the doubly phenoxo bridged Cd(II) metal centres are in a distorted octahedral environment. In complex 2, two of the three Cd(II) centres reside in a distorted octahedral environment and the remaining one enjoys a monocapped octahedral geometry. Altogether the variety in the bridging mode of two new salen-type ligands has been established through these complexes.     

脂肪族方酰胺多齿配体的合成

曾合成并研究了以1,3-双苯氨基方酸内翁盐为骨架,在苯环的2-位对称引入多甘醇醚链的双臂型方酰胺多齿配体,其中某些化合物既能作为配体对UO~2^2^+及ZγO^2^+等刚性离子配位,又能与配体NH~3发生作用,以它作为中性载体的氨选择性电极可望用于NH~3的测定。在脂肪胺的方酸内翁盐型多齿配体中,因无芳环的共轭,四碳环及其上氧之电荷状态将有所不同,这必将影响整个分子的性质。本文对这类化合物的合成进行探索,找到了行之有效的合成方法,并由此制得了九个方酰胺配体5(a～i),其中5i可作为聚酰胺等的稳定剂,其余均未见文献报道。

Synthesis and biological activities on metal complexes of 2,5-diamino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derived from semicarbazide hydrochloride

A bioactive ligand, 2,5-diamino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (L), derived from semicarbazide hydrochloride, and its metal complexes were prepared and characterized. The complexes were characterized using elemental, infra-red, ultraviolet/visible, magnetic moment, atomic absorption, thin layer chromatography and molar conductance measurements. The IR data revealed that the ligand (L) behaved as a tridentate neutral ligand. It coordinated to the metal ion via sulphur and nitrogen of the amines. The molar conductance data reveal that the chelates are non-electrolytes. From the Ultraviolet/Visible spectra and magnetic moment data, the complexes were found to have octahedral geometrical structure. In vivo evaluation of the antimicrobial activities of the metal complexes and the ligands showed greater activity against some micro-organisms when compared to the parent compounds. The chelates do not show toxicity against the activities of enzymes from homogenates of liver, kidney and serum in experimental rats.
