Synthesis and magnetic properties of copper(II)-lanthanoid(III)-copper(II) trinuclear complexes with N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)-oxamido ligand

Summary Ten novel -oxamido trinuclear complexes, namely Cu₂–(oxae)₂Ln(ClO₄)₃ (Ln = Y, Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Yb), where oxae donotes the N,N-bis(2-aminoethyl)-oxamido dianion, were prepared and characterized. The magnetic susceptibility of Cu₂(oxae)₂Gd(ClO₄)₃ was measured over the 4–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator . The exchange integrals J _(Gd-Cu) and J _Gd-Cu were found to be 2.37 and –0.71cm^-1, respectively, indicating that very weakly ferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction operates between copper(II) and gadolinium(III) ions.Visiting scholar: Qufu Normal University.

The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility for complexes (1) (phen), (2) (5-NO2-phen), (3) (bpy) and (4) (Me2bpy) were measured over the 77–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator (H^ = –2JS^1S^2), giving the exchange integral J = –13.31 cm–1 for (1), J = –7.37 cm–1 for (2), J = –8.96 cm–1 for (3) and J = –7.33 cm–1 for (4) These results indicate a weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange interaction between the two terminal nickel(II) io

Thermal decomposition kinetics of polymeric complexes of copper(II) and mercury(II) with N,N′-bis(dithiocarboxy)piperazine

The thermal decomposition behaviour of polymeric complexes of Cu(II) and Hg(II) with N,N-bis(dithiocarboxy)piperazine is investigated in air by thermogravimetric (TG), derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. The kinetic parameters (non-isothermal method) for their decomposition have been evaluated by graphical as well as by least-squares methods. The equations of Coats-Redfern, Freeman-Carroll and Horowitz-Metzger have been applied. The results indicate that the values ofE,A and S obtained by these three different methods agree well. It was also found that the decomposition of these metal chelates follow first-order kinetics.

Zusammenfassung Mittels TG, DTG und DTA wurde das thermische Zersetzungsverhalten von Polymerkomplexen aus Cu(II) bzw. Hg(II) mit N,N-Bis(dithiocarboxy)piperazin an Luft untersucht. Für ihre Zersetzung (nichtisotherme Methode) wurden die kinetischen Parameter sowohl graphisch als auch durch Methoden mit den kleinsten Fehlerquadraten ermittelt. Dabei wurden die Gleichungen von Coats-Redfern, Freeman-Carroll und von Horowitz-Metzger angewendet. Alle drei Verfahren zeigen übereinstimmende Resultate fürE, A undS. Es wurde weiterhin gefunden, daß diese Metallchelate einer Reaktion erster Ordnung unterliegen.

Thermochemistry of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes with N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea and N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea

Two substituted N-acylthioureas and the respective Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized, namely: N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea (Hnbtu); N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthiourea (Hibtu); bis[N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]nickel(II), [Ni(nbtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-n-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]copper(II), [Cu(nbtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]nickel(II), [Ni(ibtu)₂]; bis[N,N-di-iso-butyl-N′-thenoylthioureato]copper(II), [Cu(ibtu)₂]. The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation and sublimation of the two N-acylthioureas were measured, at T = 298.15 K, by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry and Calvet microcalorimetry, respectively. The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of the Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were determined, at T = 298.15 K, by high precision solution–reaction calorimetry. From the results obtained, the enthalpies of hypothetical metal–ligand and metal–metal exchange reactions, in the gaseous phase, were derived, thus allowing a discussion of the gaseous phase energetic difference between the complexation of Ni(II) and Cu(II) to 1,3-ligand systems with (S,O) ligator atoms.

Synthesis,characterisation and electrochemical study of 4,4′-bis(salicylideneimino) diphenylethane and its complexes with cobalt(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II)

We have prepared and characterised a new series of metal complexes obtained from 4,4-bis(salicylideneimino)diphenylethane (saldipH₂) and cobalt(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II) chlorides. In every case, the coordinating atoms are N and O. However, each compound has its own structure:[Co(saldip)]·2 H₂O is monomeric and a mononuclear species, [Cu₂(saldip)₂(H₂O)] is a binuclear complex and finally the cadmium complex is formulated as:[(CdCl₂)₂(saldipH₂)]·CdCl₂. An electrochemical study (cyclic voltammetry) indicates that the reduction, as well as the oxidation, of copper in [Cu₂(saldip)₂(H₂O)] proceeds in two steps. For the reduction of the two other complexes, two steps are indicated out: the first is attributed to the reduction of the metal and the second to the reduction of the coordinated ligands.

Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of the type Na₄[ML(H₂O)₂] of the ligand, 3,3′-bis[N,N-di(carboxymethyl)-aminomethyl]-o-cresol sulphonphthalein (Xylenol Orange, Na₄H₂L), have been synthesized and characterized by different physico-chemical (elemental analyses, solubility, electrolytic conductances, magnetic susceptibility measurements) and spectral (u.v.-vis, i.r., e.s.r., and powder X-ray diffraction) techniques for their structure determination. The data suggest 1?:?1 (M?:?L) compositions and octahedral geometries around M(II) except for Cu(II). Antifungal activity of the complexes measured against ten fungi show significant activity against Alternaria brassicicola, Alternaria solanai, Cercospora species and Helminthosporium oryzae and moderate antifungal activity against Curvularia species, Curvularia lunata, Curvularia penniseti, Colletotrichum capsici, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus Erysiphae pisi and Fusarium udum fungi.     

Synthesis and structural features of copper(II) complexes of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine with 2-chlorobenzoate1− and 2-hydroxybenzoate1−

Abstract

Two copper(II) coordination complexes, formulated as [Cu(tmen)(Clba)₂] (1) and [Cu(tmen)(Hsal)₂·H₂O] (2) (where tmen?=?N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl ethylenediamine (C₆H₁₆N₂), Clba^1? = 2-chlorobenzoate (C₇H₄ClO₂^1?), and Hsal^1? (C₇H₅O₃^1? = monoanion of o-hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid)), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental combustion analysis, spectroscopic techniques, thermal studies, and single crystal X-ray analyses. Complex 1 consists of two distinct monomeric units in which the coordination environment around the central copper(II) ion is a distorted octahedron with a CuN₂O₄ chromophore, constituted by a chelating tmen molecule, and two 2-chlorobenzoate^1? anions coordinated through their carboxylate-O atoms in an asymmetrical bidentate fashion. Complex 2 is also a monomer and consists of an CuN₂O₃ chromophore, in which tmen is coordinated to Cu(II) through its two N atoms in a chelating bidentate fashion, and an aqua-O and the two o-hydroxybenzoate^1? (HSal^1?) anions are coordinated through one of their carboxylate-O atoms in a monodentate mode, forming a square pyramidal structure. Hydrogen bonding interactions especially of O–H…O, N–H…O, and C–H…Cl types interweave monomeric units and stabilize the overall crystal structures in both complexes. Thermal analysis and antibacterial activities of 1 and 2 against various bacterial strains were also investigated.

Synthesis and characterisation of Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with 5-bromo-N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-o-tolidine

New complexes of type [M(HL)(CH₃COO)(OH₂)_m]·nH₂O (where M:Co, m = 2, n = 2; M:Ni, m = 2, n = 1.5; M:Zn, m = 0, n = 2.5 and M:Cd, m = 0, n = 0; H₂L:5-bromo-N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-o-tolidine) have been synthesized and characterized by microanalytical, IR, UV–Vis-NIR and magnetic data. Electronic spectra of Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes are characteristic for an octahedral stereochemistry. The IR spectra indicate a chelate coordination mode for mono-deprotonated Schiff base and a bidentate one for acetate ion. The thermal transformations are complex according to TG and DTA curves including dehydration, acetate decomposition and oxidative degradation of the Schiff base. The final product of decomposition is the most stable metallic oxide.
