Complex formation of copper(II) and nickel(II) with N-arylthiopicolinamides

The reactions of N-arylthiopicolinamides (HL) with copper(II) and nickel(II) ions in organic and aqueous-organic solutions were studied. On addition of HCl, the transformation of ML₂ complexes into M(HL)Cl₂ occurs, while the reverse reaction takes place under the action of amphoteric protic solvents. The structures of the isolated complexes were established by IR and UV spectroscopy.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1546–1550, September, 1993.     

Syntheses,characterization and x-ray crystal structures of copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of tridentate monocondensed diamines

The syntheses and characterization of three compounds involving tridentate “half-units” 7-amino-4-methyl-5-aza-3-hepten-2-one (HAMAH) and 8-amino-4-methyl-5-aza-3-octen-2-one (HAMAO) are described.

Determination of Trace Metal Ions in SeaWater by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry After Separation/Preconcentration with Calmagite on Amberlite Xad-1180

A preconcentration/separation method for the atomic absorption spectrometric determinations of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) ions in seawater have been established by using a chromatographic column filled Amberlite XAD-1180. The recoveries of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) ions were quantitative (> 95%) at pH 8-9. The influences of the various analytical parameters including the amount of calmagite, amount of Amberlite XAD-1180, eluent type, etc. were investigated. The influence of the seawater matrix was also examined. Simultaneous enrichment and determination of copper, nickel and lead ions in seawater are possible with satisfactory results (recoveries > 95%, RSD <9%).     

Spectroscopic evaluation of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes derived from thiosemicarbazone and semicarbazone

Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized with thiosemicarbazone (L(1)) and semicarbazone (L(2)) derived from 2-acetyl furan. These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moment, mass, IR, electronic and EPR spectral studies. The molar conductance measurement of the complexes in DMSO corresponds to non-electrolytic nature. All the complexes are of high-spin type. On the basis of different spectral studies six coordinated geometry may be assigned for all the complexes except Co(L)(2)(SO(4)) and Cu(L)(2)(SO(4)) [where L=L(1) and L(2)] which are of five coordinated square pyramidal geometry.     

Synthesis and characterization of μ-oxamido copper(Ⅱ)-iron(Ⅱ) heterobinuclear complexes with an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction

Four new u-oxamido heterobinuclear complexes have been synthesized and identified as [Cu(oxap)Fe(L)2]SO4, where oxap denotes the N, N'-bis(2-aminopropyl)oxamido dianion and L represents diaminoethane (en); 1,3-diaminopropane (pn); 1,2-diaminopropane (ap) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me2-phen). Based on the elemental analyses, spectroscopic studies, magnetic moments (at room temperature) and molar conductivity measurements, extended oxamido-bridged structures consisting of a copper(Ⅱ) and an iron(Ⅱ) ions, which have a square planar environment and an octahedral environment, respectively, are proposed for these complexes. Complexes [Cu(oxap)Fe(en)2]SO4 (1) and [Cu(oxap)Fe(pn)2]SO4 (2) have been characterized by variable temperature magnetic susceptibility (4.2~300 K) and the observed data were least-squares fitted to the susceptibility equation derived from the spin Hamiltonian including single-ion zero-field interaction for the iron(Ⅱ) ion, H=-2JS1.S2-DSzl2, giving the exchange integrals J=-2     

Synthesis and characterization of two Cu(II) complexes with a new pyrazole-based Schiff base ligand: crystallography,DNA interaction and antimicrobial activity of Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes

Reaction of Cu(II) nitrate with a new pyrazole-based Schiff base ligand, 5-methyl-3-formylpyrazole-N-(2′-methylphenoxy)methyleneimine (MPzOA), afforded two types of Cu(II) complexes at different reaction temperatures, [Cu(MP_zOA)(NO₃)]₂ (1) and [Cu(3,7,11,15-tetramethylporphyrin)(H₂O)](NO₃)₂ (2), reported together with a Ni(II) complex, [Ni(MPzOA)₂(H₂O)₂]Br₂ (3). The compounds are characterized by single crystal X-ray structure analyses along with several physico-chemical and spectral parameters. Complex 1 is authenticated as a bis(μ-pyrazolato)dicopper(II), while 2 is a porphyrinogen and 3 is a distorted octahedral complex. Structural analyses of the complexes reveal that 1 crystallized in monoclinic P2₁/n space group while 2 and 3 crystallized in monoclinic C2/c space group. DNA-binding studies of the complexes have shown that the complexes interact with CT-DNA. DNA-cleavage studies with plasmid DNA have shown that 1 and 2 induce extensive DNA cleavage in the presence of H₂O₂ as an additive, whereas there is no change in degradation of super-coiled DNA by 3 in the presence of additive. The antimicrobial studies of the complexes against Escherichia coli DH5α bacteria strain indicated that all the complexes were capable of killing E. coli with different LD50 values.     

Synthesis,characterization and comparative DNA interaction studies of new copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes containing mesalamine drug using molecular modeling and multispectroscopic methods

Complexes of copper(II) and nickel(II) containing the drug mesalamine (5-ASA) have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, mass and UV–vis spectra, elemental analysis, and theoretical methods. The binding interactions between mesalamine and its Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) were investigated using absorption, fluorescence emission and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies, and viscosity measurements. Absorption spectra of 5-ASA, Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes showed hypochromism. The calculated binding constants (K_b) obtained from UV–vis absorption studies were 1.27 × 10³, 1.6 × 10³, and 1.2 × 10⁴ M^?1 for 5-ASA, Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes, respectively. The compounds induced detectable changes in the CD spectra of ct-DNA (B → A structural transition, B → C structural transition and stabilization of the right-handed B form, for mesalamine, Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes, respectively). The competitive binding experiments with Hoechst 33258 indicated that 5-ASA and copper complex could interact as groove binders. Furthermore, Ni complex had no effect on the fluorescence intensity and peak position of MB-DNA system. Finally, the results obtained from experimental and molecular modeling showed that complexes bind to DNA via minor-groove binding.

Acid Dissociation Behaviour and Complexation with Nickel(II), Copper(II) and Zinc(II) for Two Conformational Isomers of Dicyclohexylcyclam

Abstract

Acid dissociation constants for two conformational isomers of dicyclohexylcyclam, cis-anti-cis, (P) and cis-syn-cis, (N) have been determined at 25, 35 and 40°C, and thermodynamic data are estimated. It was found that (N) shows very different behaviour from (P). Stability constants of (P) and (N) toward Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been determined by pH-titration at 25°C by using a ligand exchange reaction. It is found that the (P) complex is more stable for Ni(II) and the (N) complex is more stable for Cu(II). Contributions of the cyclohexyl group to the macrocyclic effect (ME) have been also estimated by considering basicity corrections. It is found that substitution of the cyclohexyl group in cyclam increases ME only for the Ni(II) complex of (P).     

The synthesis and characterization of three new vic -dioximes and their nickel(II), copper(II) and cobalt(II) complexes

Three new vic-dioximes, [L¹H₂], N-(4-ethylphenyl)amino-1-acetyl-1-cyclohexenylglyoxime, [L²H₂], N-(4-butylphenyl)amino-1-acetyl-1-cyclohexenylglyoxime, and [L³H₂], N-(4-methoxyphenyl)amino-1-acetyl-1-cyclohexenylglyoxime were synthesized from 1-acetyl-1-cyclohexeneglyoxime and the corresponding substituted aromatic amines. Metal complexes of these ligands were also synthesized with Ni(II), Cu(II), and Co(II) salts. These new compounds (ligands and complexes) were characterized with FT–IR, magnetic susceptibility measurement, molar conductivity measurements, mass spectrometry measurements, thermal methods (e.g. thermal gravimetric analysis), ¹H NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and ¹³C NMR spectral data and elemental analyses.     

Voltammetric study of the interaction of lomefloxacin (LMF)–Mg(II) complex with DNA and its analytical application

The voltammetric behavior of the LMF-Mg(II) complex with DNA at a mercury electrode is reported for the first time. In NH₃–NH₄Cl buffer (pH=9.10), the adsorption phenomena of the LMF–Mg(II) complex were observed by linear sweep voltammetry. The mechanism of the electrode reaction was found to be a reduction of LMF in the complex, and the composition of the LMF–Mg(II) complex is 2:1. In the presence of calf thymus DNA (ctDNA), the peak current of LMF–Mg(II) complex decreased considerably, and a new well-defined adsorptive reduction peak appeared at −1.63 V (vs. SCE). The electrochemical kinetic parameters and the binding number of LMF–Mg(II) with ctDNA were also obtained. Moreover, the new peak currents of LMF–Mg(II)–DNA system increased linearly correlated to the concentration of DNA in the 4.00×10⁻⁷–2.60×10⁻⁶ g ml⁻¹ range when the concentrations of LMF–Mg(II) complex was fixed at 5.00×10⁻⁶ mol l⁻¹, with the detection limits of 2.33×10⁻⁷ g ml⁻¹. An electrostatic interaction was suggested by electrochemical method.     

Ni(II)cyclam Catalyzed Reduction of CO2 – Towards a Voltammetric Sensor for the Gas Phase

The detection of CO₂ in the gas phase is possible in presence of oxygen with an amalgamated Au‐poly(tetrafluoroethylene) gas diffusion electrode and an internal electrolyte solution containing Ni(II)cyclam. For concentrations between 0.1 to 1% the electrochemical cell has a sensitivity of 3.58 mA %^?1 and the detection limit is 500 ppm. In preliminary experiments at rotating disk electrodes the optimum pH‐range was found to be between 3.5 to 6 and a selectivity ratio of the catalyst for CO₂/H⁺ of 5 : 1 could be determined. The relationship between reduction current and the square root of the angular speed is linear, indicating that the electrochemical process is limited by diffusion of CO₂. Tl and Pb are presented as alternative electrode materials at which the Ni(II)cyclam catalyzed reduction of CO₂ can be observed. Problems arise from fouling effects at the sensing electrode and a non‐linearity of the calibration plot at higher concentrations.     

Synthesis and characterization of Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) coordination polymers containing bis(imidazolyl) ligands

Two structurally related flexible imidazolyl ligands, bis(N-imidazolyl)methane (L₁) and 1,4-bis(N-imidazolyl)butane (L₂), were reacted with Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) salts of aliphatic/aromatic dicarboxylic acids resulting in the formation of a number of novel metal–organic coordination architectures, [CuB₂(ox)₂(L₁)₂(H₂O)₂] · 4H₂O (1) (ox = oxalate), [Cu(pdc)(L₂)_1.5] · 4H₂O (2, pdc = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate), [Co(L)₂(H₂O)₂](tp) · 4H₂O (3, tp = terephthalate), [Ni(L₁)₂(H₂O)₂](ip) · 5H₂O (4, ip = isophthalate), [Cu₂(L₁)₄(H₂O)₄](tp)₂ · 7H₂O (5), [Co(mal)(L₁)(H₂O)] · 0.5MeOH (6, mal = malonate), [Co(pdc)(L₁)(H₂O)] (7). All the complexes have been structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The different coordination modes of the dicarboxylate anions, due to their chain length, rigidity and diimidazolyl functionality, lead to a wide range of different coordination structures. The coordination polymers exhibit 1D single chain, ladder, 2D sheet and 2D network structures. The aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylates can adopt chelating μ₂ and chelating-bridging μ₃ coordination modes, or act as uncoordinated counter anions. The central metal ions are coordinated in N₂O₄, N₄O₂, N₂O₃ and N₃O₃ fashions, depending on the ancillary ligands. The topology of 1 gives rise to macrocycles which are connected through hydrogen bonds to form 1D chains, whereas compound 2 exhibits a 1D polymeric ladder in which the carboxylate acts as a pincer ligand. Compounds 3–5 show doubly bridged 1D chains, and the dicarboxylate groups are not coordinated but form 2D corrugated sheets with water molecules intercalated between the cationic layers. Compound 6 has a 2D network sheet structure in which each metal ion links three neighboring Co atoms by the bis(N-imidazolyl)methane ligand. The cobalt compound 7, with a 2D polymeric double sheet structure, is built from pincer carboxylate (pdc) and 1,4-bis(N-imidazolyl)methane ligands.     

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes of 14-membered hexaazamacrocycles: synthesis and characterization

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes containing 5,12-di(4-bromophenyl)-7,14-dimethyl-1,2,4,8,9,11-hexaazacyclotetradeca-7,14-diene-3,10-dione (H₂L¹) and 5,12-diphenyl-7,14-dimethyl-1,2,4,8,9,11-hexaazacyclotetradeca-7,14-diene-3,10-dione (H₂L²) have been synthesized. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, MALDI TOF-MS spectrometry, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The crystal structures of two compounds, [Cu₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄]_n and [NiL²], were determined by X-ray powder diffraction. In the polymeric [Cu₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄]_n, the Cu₂Cl₄ units and H₂L¹ molecules are situated on inversion centers. Each Cu(II) has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment formed by N and O from H₂L¹ [Cu–N 2.340(14)?Å, Cu–O 1.952(11)?Å], two bridging chlorides [Cu–Cl 2.332(5), 2.279(5)?Å] and one terminal chloride [Cu–Cl 2.320(6)?Å]. In the [NiL²] complex, the Ni(II) situated on inversion center has a distorted square-planar coordination environment formed by four nitrogens from L² [Ni–N 1.860(11), 1.900(11)?Å].     

The efficacy of nitrosonaphthol functionalized XAD-16 resin for the preconcentration/sorption of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions

Amberlite XAD-16 resin has been functionalized using nitrosonaphthol as a ligand and characterized employing elemental, thermogravimetric analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy. The sorption of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions onto this functionalized resin is investigated and optimized with respect to the sorptive medium (pH), shaking speed and equilibration time between liquid and solid phases. The monitoring of the influence of diverse ions on the sorption of metal ions has revealed that phosphate, bicarbonate and citrate reduce the sorption up to 10–14%. The sorption data followed Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherms. The Freundlich parameters computed are 1/n = 0.56 ± 0.03 and 0.49 ± 0.05, A = 9.54 ± 1.5 and 6.0 ± 0.5 mmol g⁻¹ for Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions, respectively. D–R isotherm yields the values of X_m = 0.87 ± 0.07 and 0.35 ± 0.05 mmol g⁻¹ and of E = 9.5 ± 0.23 and 12.3 ± 0.6 kJ mol⁻¹ for Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions, respectively. Langmuir characteristic constants estimated are Q = 0.082 ± 0.005 and 0.063 ± 0.003 mmol g⁻¹, b = (4.7 ± 0.2) × 10⁴ and (7.31 ± 0.11) × 10⁴ l mol⁻¹ for Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions, respectively. The variation of sorption with temperature gives thermodynamic quantities of ΔH = −58.9 ± 0.12 and −40.38 ± 0.11 kJ mol⁻¹, ΔS = −183 ± 10 and −130 ± 8 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ and ΔG = −4.4 ± 0.09 and −2.06 ± 0.08 kJ mol⁻¹ at 298 K for Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions, respectively. Using kinetic equations, values of intraparticle transport and of first order rate constant have been computed for both the metal ions. The sorption procedure is utilized to preconcentrate these ions prior to their determination in tea, vegetable oil, hydrogenated oil (ghee) and palm oil by atomic absorption spectrometry using direct and standard addition methods.     

Synthesis and characterization of potassium 1,3-bis(N-methylpiperazino)propan-2-O-xanthate and the complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(I) ions

Potassium 1,3-bis(N-methyl piperazino)propan-2-O-xanthate (LK), and its complexes with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(I) ions have been prepared and characterized as [CoL₂(H₂O)₂], [NiL₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O and CuL·2H₂O by FT-IR, ¹H and ¹³C?NMR spectroscopies, elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility and TGA techniques.     

Benign synthesis of N-(8-quinolyl)pyridine-2-carboxamide) ligand (Hbpq), and its Ni (II) and Cu (II) complexes. A fluorescent probe for direct detection of nitric oxide in acetonitrile solution based on Hbpq copper(II) acetate interaction

The ligand Hbpq = N-(8-quinolyl)pyridine-2-carboxamide) has been prepared using tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as an environmentally friendly reaction medium. Four new complexes of this ligand, [M(bpq)X] (M = Cu(II), X = SCN̄ (1), N₃̄ (2); M = Ni(II), X = SCN̄ (3), N₃̄ (4)), have also been synthesized and fully characterized. The crystal and molecular structures of [Cu(bpq)(NCS)]_n (1) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Copper(II) ion adopts a distorted square pyramidal (4 + 1) coordination in this complex. Hbpq ligand shows a strong emission at 500 nm in acetonitrile solution. The emission is quenched in the presence of copper(II) acetate, apparently because of the formation of [Cu(L)(OAc)(H₂O)] complex. Introduction of nitric oxide (NO) into the acetonitrile solution at room temperature induces an increase in the fluorescence intensity, presumably due to the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I). This process is reversible and can form a basis for direct detection of NO.     

Effect of pH on Competitive Adsorption of Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) from Water onto Chitosan Beads

The amounts of adsorption of Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Zn²⁺ from single, binary, and tertiary nitrate solutions onto glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan beads were measured. The beads had an average particle size and pore volume of 2 mm and 0.06 cm³/g, respectively, and had a BET surface area of 60 m²/g. All experiments were performed at 298 K as a function of initial pH (2.0–5.0), total metal concentration (0.77–17.0 mol/m³), and molar concentration ratio (0.25–4) in the aqueous phase. It was shown that the amount of metal adsorption generally increased with increasing solution pH. Competitive adsorption was significant in binary and tertiary systems when Cu²⁺ was present. The selectivity factor reached maximum in an equilibrium pH range of 5.1–5.3 and 4.5–4.9 for the Cu-Ni and Cu-Zn binary systems, respectively. This adsorbent provided a possibility for selective separation of Cu²⁺ from such multi-component solutions.     

Electrochemistry of copper in aqueous acetonitrile

The electrochemical characteristics of the Cu (II)/Cu (I) and the Cu (I)/Cu (0) couples at platinum, carbon, mercury and copper have been studied in acetonitrile-water (AN-H₂O) mixtures. All the electrode processes are moderately fast with mercury the fastest but slower on platinum and carbon paste in that order. A slow chemical step precedes oxidation of Cu (I) to Cu (II) on allectrodes in solutions of high AN content. The slow step may be partial removal of AN from the solvated Cu (I) ion prior to electron transfer. Electrode processes are faster in chloride ions than in sulfate ion solutions. Reduction of Cu (I) in AN–H₂O is quite slow on glassy carbon. Adsorption of AN on platinum and carbon influences the processes. Diffusion coefficients in sulfate solutions are in the order, Cu (I) (AN–H₂O)>Cu (II)(AN–H₂O)>Fe (III)(H₂O) and 2-hydroxy-cyanoethane (2-HCE) strongly decreases the mobility of Cu (I) when added to H₂O. The relevance of the measurements to hydrometallurgical processes is considered. CuSO₄ in 30% v/v AN–H₂O is a faster oxidant than the common oxidant Fe₂(SO₄)₃ in H₂O because of the greater mobility and faster electron acceptance from a corroding surface of Cu (II). Only in solutions of very high nitrile content is the reduction potential of CuSO₄ as high as that of Fe₂(SO₄)₃ in H₂O.
