Synthesis,characterization, thermal decomposition studies and dyeing properties of some novel transition metal complexes of an azo derivative formed from 2-aminothiophene

An azo derivative was synthesized by coupling diazotized 2-amino-3-carbethoxy-4,5-dimethylthiophene with 2-naphthol and this new ligand formed a series of metal complexes with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) salts. These complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, UV-Visible, IR and ¹H NMR spectral data. Analytical data revealed that all the complexes exhibited 1: 1 metal-ligand ratio. Spectral studies showed that the ligand existed in an internally hydrogen bonded azo-enol form rather than the keto-hydrazone form and coordinated to the metal ion in a tridentate fashion. On the basis of electronic spectral data and magnetic susceptibility measurements, suitable geometry was proposed for each complex. The ligand and its cobalt(II) complex were subjected to X-ray diffraction study. The thermal behaviour of the ligand and its copper(II) complex was examined by thermogravimetry. The ligand and its copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes were applied to silk fabric and their fastness properties were evaluated.

The structure of the complexes was confirmed on the basis of elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, API-ES mass spectral data and thermal gravitational analysis (TGA).

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT      

Design,synthesis, DNA binding ability,chemical nuclease activity and antimicrobial evaluation of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) metal complexes containing tridentate Schiff base

A novel Schiff base has been designed and synthesized using the bioactive ligand obtained from 4-aminoantipyrine, 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde and 2-aminobenzoic acid. Its Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) complexes have also been synthesized in ethanol medium. The structural features have arrived from their elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, mass, IR, UV–Vis, ¹H NMR and ESR spectral studies. The data show that the complexes have composition of ML₂ type. The electronic absorption spectral data of the complexes suggest an octahedral geometry around the central metal ion. The interaction of the complexes with calf thymus (CT) DNA has been studied using absorption spectra, cyclic voltammetric, and viscosity measurement. The metal complexes have been found to promote cleavage of pUC19 DNA from the super coiled form I to the open circular form II. The complexes show enhanced antifungal and antibacterial activities compared with the free ligand.     

Spectral,thermal and magnetic studies of biacetylmonoxime isonicotinoylhydrazone complexes

The synthesis and characterization of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and UO²⁺₂ complexes of biacetylmonoxime isonicotinoylhydrazone (BMINH) are reported. Elemental-analysis, magnetic, thermal and spectral (IR, visible and NMR) measurements have been used to characterize the complexes. IR spectral data show that the ligand behaves in a bidentate and/or tridentate manner. An octahedral structure is proposed for the Ni(II) complexes, while a square-planar structure is proposed for both Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes, on the basis of magnetic and spectral measurements.     

Elaborated spectral analysis and modeling calculations on Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), and Pt(IV) nanoparticles complexes with simple thiourea derivative

A series of metal complexes was synthesized using a simple thiourea derivative. The prepared complexes were characterized using different techniques (FTIR, ESR, X-ray diffraction [XRD], TG/DTA, and TEM). The FTIR spectrum of the ligand shows the presence of its tautomer forms (keto–enol). The ligand coordinates as a neutral bidentate in the Pt(IV), Pd(II), and Pt(II) complexes. In the case of Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, the ligand is mono-negative bidentate. The proposed complexes are four to six coordinate. The geometries are proposed based on electronic spectral data and magnetic measurements and were verified using other tools. The XRD patterns reflect the nanocrystalline structures except for the Cu(II) complex, which is amorphous. The TEM images for platinum complexes show nanosize particles and homogeneous metal ion distribution on the complex surface. The EPR spectrum of Cu(II) complex verified the octahedral geometry of the complex. Molecular modeling was performed to assign the structural formula proposed for the ligand based on the characterization results.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic studies on the Schiff base ligand derived from condensation of 2-furaldehyde and 3,3'-diaminobenzidene, L and its complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II): comparative DNA binding studies of L and its Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes

The Schiff base ligand, N,N'-bis-(2-furancarboxaldimine)-3,3'-diaminobenzidene (L) obtained by condensation of 2-furaldehyde and 3,3'-diaminobenzidene, was used to synthesize the mononuclear complexes of the type, [M(L)](NO3)2 [M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)]. The newly synthesized ligand, (L) and its complexes have been characterized on the basis of the results of the elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectroscopic studies viz, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, mass, UV-vis and EPR. EPR, UV-vis and magnetic moment data revealed a square planar geometry for the complexes with distortion in Cu(II) complex and conductivity data show a 1:2 electrolytic nature of the complexes. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies support that Schiff base ligand, L and its Cu(II) and Zn(II) complex exhibit significant binding to calf thymus DNA. The highest binding affinity in case of L may be due to the more open structure as compared to the metal coordinated complexes.
