A Comparative Study of 8‐Hydroxyquinoline and 8‐Hydroxyquinoline‐5‐sulfonic Acid for Antimony(III) Determination by AdSV. Substituent Effect on Sensitivity II

A sensitive and selective method for the determination of Sb³⁺ based on the formation of its complexes with 8‐hydroxyquinoline (HQ) and 8‐hydroxyquinoline‐5‐sulfonic acid (HQS) is proposed. The best analytical conditions are: pH 5.4 and 2.2 for HQ and HQS, respectively; C_HQ from 15.0 to 25.0 µmol L^?1 and C_HQS from 70.0 to 200.0 µmol L^?1. The detection limits are 100.0 and 14.0 ng L^?1 (t_acc=30 s) for Sb³⁺ with HQ and HQS, respectively. The method using HQS as ligand has a 2.2‐fold higher sensitivity than that with HQ and the former was chosen for Sb³⁺ determination.     

Sensitive Voltammetric Determination of Cadmium(II) with 8‐Hydroxyquinoline and Ionic Liquid Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

In this paper 8‐hydroxyquinoline (HQ) and ionic liquid (IL) modified carbon paste electrode was fabricated and used for the sensitive determination of cadmium(II) with differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). The modified electrode was prepared by the addition of HQ and IL 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazoliam ethylsulphate as the modifiers into the traditional carbon paste mixture. Cd(II) was preconcentrated and reduced on the surface of the modified electrode at the potential of ‐1.0 V (vs. SCE) by the co‐contributions from the formation of HQ‐Cd(II) complex and the accumulation effect of IL. Then the reduced Cd on the electrode surface was reoxidized by DPASV with a sensitive oxidation peak appeared at ‐0.79 V (vs. SCE). Under the optimal conditions the oxidation peak current was proportional to the Cd(II) concentration in the range from 0.03 to 2.0 mol/L with the detection limit as 5.0 nmol/L (3σ). The proposed method was successfully applied to the water samples detection with the recovery in the range from 95.6% to 96.6%.

Synthesis,Structure, and Fluorescent Properties of Lanthanide Complexes Based on 8‐Hydroxyquinoline‐7‐carboxylic Acid

The lanthanide complex [Eu₃(8‐HQCA)₃(COOH)(OH)₂(H₂O)₃]_n · nH₂O (8‐HQCA = 8‐hydroxyquinoline‐7‐carboxylic acid) was synthesized and characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction shows that the trinuclear structures are linked by ligands to form 2D layers. The results of DFT calculation shows that energy can be transferred effectively from the ligand to Eu^III ions. A series of heteronuclear complexes {[(Eu_1–xY_x)₃(8‐HQCA)₃(COOH) (OH)₂(H₂O)₃]_n · nH₂O (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8)} were synthesized and their luminescent properties were studied.

Homo‐ and Heterodinuclear Helicates of Lanthanide(III), Zinc(II) and Aluminium(III) Based on 8‐Hydroxyquinoline Ligands

Homonuclear helicates with rare‐earth‐metal(III) ions or heteronuclear derivatives with rare‐earth‐metal and aluminium or zinc centres are obtained in alkali‐metal‐templated self‐assembly processes from isobutenylidene‐bridged homoditopic bis(2‐carbamido‐8‐hydroxyquinoline)‐derived ligands 1 ? H₂ and 2 ? H₂ or heteroditopic (8‐hydroxyquinoline)(2‐carbamido‐8‐hydroxyquinoline)‐derived ligands 3 ? H₂ and 4 ? H₂. Diamagnetic coordination compounds possess a high stability in organic solvents such as CDCl₃, [D₄]MeOH or [D₆]DMSO and can be well characterised by ¹H NMR spectroscopy by using methylene protons and the protons of the vinylic units of the ligand as stereochemical or symmetry probes, respectively. Some of the homonuclear complexes could be crystallised and were characterised by using X‐ray diffraction studies. The complexes adopt a triple‐stranded helical structure with a central templating cation encapsulated in their interior. An unusual orientation of the double bond of one spacer towards this cation is observed. The homo‐ and heterodinuclear helicates with ytterbium(III), neodymium(III) or erbium(III) of ligands 2 and 4 were of special interest owing to their near‐infrared (NIR) emitting properties, which were investigated depending on the lanthanide and on the encapsulated alkali‐metal cation.

Sulfonamides obtained by reaction of 8‐aminoquinoline with benzenesulfonyl, toluene‐4‐sulfonyl and naphthalene‐2‐sulfonyl chlorides have been used to synthetize coordination compounds with Zn^II with a ZnL₂ composition. Determination of the crystal structures for the resulting complexes by X‐ray diffraction shows a distorted tetrahedral environment for the Zn²⁺ ions, sulfonamides acting as bidentate ligands through the nitrogen atoms from the sulfonamidate and quinoline groups. FT‐IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR and mass spectra of these compounds are also discussed.

It displayed fluorescence quenching with some heavy and transition metal (HTM) ions, and the quenching strongly depended on the nature of HTM ions.     

Amperometric Detection and Quantification of 8‐Hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐OHdG) Using Dendrimer Modified Electrodes

8‐Hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐OHdG) detection by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with amperometric detection was studied using a Au electrode modified with different dendrimer based thin films. Gold electrode is thiol‐modified, forming self‐assembled monolayers on which different generation PAMAM dendrimers with terminal functional groups ? COOH and ? NH₂ have been attached using peptidic bonds. Results obtained in synthetic samples show low limits of detection and quantification for 8‐OHdG (1.2×10^?9 and 3.7×10^?9 M respectively), with matrix interference elimination, thus avoiding sample pretreatment. Best results are obtained with electrodes modified with aliphatic amino thiols and 3.5 and 4.5 generation carboxylated dendrimers (Au/AET/DG^3.5 and Au/AET/DG^4.5), demonstrating that these materials constitute a good alternative for 8‐OHdG determination in biological fluids.

Coordination of the anionic and neutral thiosemicarbazone ligand occurs through the pyridine nitrogen atom, imine nitrogen atom, and thiolato or thione sulfur atom. In [Zn(Amhexim)(OAc)]₂ one of the bridging acetato ligands has monodentate coordination and the other bridges in a bidentate manner. [Cd(Amhexim)₂] is a 6‐coordinate species while the other cadmium complexes are 5‐coordinate. In [Hg(Amhexim)Br]₂ and [Hg(Amhexim)I]₂ the thiolato sulfur atoms act as bridges between the Hg atoms to form dimeric compounds and [Hg₃(HAmhexim)(Amhexim)Br₅]μ·μH₂O is a trinuclear complex with three different centers — two metallic centers have a 5‐coordination and the another one has 4‐coordination. In addition, [Hg(HAmhexim)Cl₂]μ·μDMSO and [Hg₃(HAmhexim)(Amhexim)Br₅]μ·μH₂O shown a supramolecular one‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded self‐assembling.     

8‐Hydroxy Quinoline Derivatives as Auxiliary Ligands for Red‐Emitting Cyclic‐Platinum Phosphorescent Complexes: Synthesis and Properties

Heavy metal complexes exhibit high phosphorescent efficiency and have been used extensively for electrophosphorescent emitters in the past 16 years. In 2006, we initially reported the use of the popular ligand, 8‐hydroxyquinoline (Q) to coordinate with the heavy metal ions and obtained the red‐infrared phosphorescent emission. In this paper, 8‐hydroxyquinoline has been modified at the 5‐position by electron‐donating and attracting groups and platinum complexes based on 2‐phenylpyridine and 8‐hydroxyquinoline derivatives were synthesized. The electron‐withdrawing group CF ₃ and NO ₂ lowers the HOMO level of the Q ligand and results in a N^O centered enhanced red‐infrared phosphorescence emission. The complex with CF ₃ modification exhibits the highest phosphorescence quantum yield in solid state with a life time of 1.17 μs.     

Pseudohalide‐directed Assembly of Two Zinc(II) Coordination Polymers with a 3,4‐Bis(3‐pyridyl)‐5‐(4‐pyridyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole Tecton

The zinc(II) pseudohalide complexes {[Zn(L³³⁴)(SCN)₂(H₂O)](H₂O)₂}_n ( 1 ) and [Zn(L³³⁴)(dca)₂]_n ( 2 ) were synthesized and characterized using the ligand 3,4‐bis(3‐pyridyl)‐5‐(4‐pyridyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole (L³³⁴) and ZnCl₂ in presence of thiocyanate (SCN^–) and dicynamide [dca, N(CN)₂^–] respectively. Single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis revealed that the central Zn^II atoms in both complexes have similar octahedral arrangement. Compound 1 has a 2D sheet structure bridged by bidentate L³³⁴ and double μ_N,S‐thiocyanate anions, whereas complex 2 , incorporating with two monodentate dicynamide anions, displays a two‐dimensional coordination framework bridged by tetradentate L³³⁴ ligand. Structural analysis demonstrated that the influence of pseudohalide anions plays an important role in determining the resultant structure. Both complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy, microanalysis, and powder X‐ray diffraction techniques. In addition, the solid fluorescence and thermal stability properties of both complexes were investigated.

Two new mixed‐anion zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of 3‐(2‐pyridyl)‐5,6‐diphenyl‐1,2,4‐triazine (PDPT) ligand, [Zn(PDPT)₂Cl(ClO₄)] and [Cd(PDPT)₂(NO₃)(ClO₄)], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR‐ and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The single crystal X‐ray analyses show that the coordination number in these complexes is six with four N‐donor atoms from two “PDPT” ligand and two of the anionic ligands, ZnN₄ClO_perchlorate, CdN₄O_nitrateO_perchlorate. Self‐assembly of these compounds in the solid state via π–π‐stacking interactions is discussed.

Artificial antenna complexes of metal‐coordinated bis(8‐hydroxyquinoline)‐substituted porphyrin networks that mimic antenna chromophores in plants were organized on titanium dioxide electrodes in photoelectrochemical cells. The generated photocurrents can be optimized according to the two ways of porphyrin self‐assembly due to the “antenna effect”: changing the number of assembled porphyrin monolayers and the number of generations of the metal‐coordinated porphyrin networks.     

Synthesis,characterization, electronic structure,and non‐linear optical properties (NLO) of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 5‐phenylazo‐8‐hydroxyquinoline using DFT approach

5‐phenylazo‐8‐hydroxyquinoline and its newly metal complexes with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) metal ions have been prepared and characterized using different analytical techniques. The complexes are distorted octahedral binding via one oxygen and nitrogen atoms of the ligand; two/three coordinated water molecules. 1:1 complexes contain one chloride or OH⁻ ion and some complexes have one or two water of hydration whereas 1:2 complexes contain only two coordinated water molecules in their coordination spheres. All complexes behave as neutral in dimethylformamide (DMF). The electronic structure and non‐linear optical parameters NLO of the complexes (ML and ML2) are investigated theoretically at the B3LYP/GEN level of theory. The geometries of the studied complexes are non‐planner. The calculated E_HOMO and E_LUMO energies of the studied complexes were used to calculate the global properties; hardness (η), global softness (S) and electronegativity (χ). The total dipole moment (μ_tot), static total and anisotropy of polarizability (α, Δα) and static first hyperpolarizability (β) values were calculated and compared with urea as a reference compound. The studied complexes show promising optical properties.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structures,and Properties of Copper(II), Zinc(II), and Cadmium(II) Coordination Polymers Based on 5‐Nitro‐isophthalate and 1,2‐(2‐Pyridyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole

Three coordination polymers, namely {[Cu(5‐nipa)(L²²)](H₂O)₂}_n ( 1 ), [Zn(5‐nipa)(L²²)(H₂O)]_n ( 2 ), and {[Cd₂(5‐nipa)₂(L²²)(H₂O)₃](H₂O)_3.6}_n ( 3 ), were prepared under similar synthetic method based on 1,2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole (L²²) and ancillary ligand 5‐nitro‐isophthalic acid (5‐H₂nipa) with Cu^II, Zn^II, and Cd^II perchlorate, respectively. All the complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction indicates that complexes 1 and 2 show similar 1D chain structures, whereas complex 3 exhibits the 2D coordination network with hcb topology. The central metal atoms show distinct coordination arrangements ranging from distorted square‐pyramid for Cu^II in 1 , octahedron for Zn^II in 2 , to pentagonal‐bipyramid for Cd^II in 3 . The L²² ligand adopts the same (η³,μ₂) coordination fashion in complexes 1 – 3 , while the carboxyl groups of co‐ligand 5‐nipa^2– adopt monodentate fashion in 1 and 2 and bidentate chelating mode in 3 . These results indicate that the choice of metal ions exerts a significant influence on governing the target complexes. Furthermore, thermal stabilities of complexes 1 – 3 and photoluminescent properties of 2 and 3 were also studied in the solid state.
