Structural studies on cadmium(II), cobalt(II), copper(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes of 1-malonyl-bis(4-phenylthiosemicarbazide)

Summary Several new complexes of the title ligand (H₂MPTS) with Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, and Cd^II have been prepared. Structural assignments of the complexes have been made based on elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic moment and spectral (i.r.,¹H n.m.r., reflectance) studies. The compounds are non-conductors in dimethylsulphoxide. The neutral molecule is coordinated to the metal(II) sulphate as a bidentate ligandvia the two carbonyl groups. The ligand reacts with the metal(II) chlorides with the liberation of two hydrogen ions, behaving as a bianionic quadridentate (NONO) donor. Enolization is confirmed by the pH-titration of H₂ MPTS and its metal(II) complexes against NaOH. A distorted octahedral structure is proposed for the Cu^II complex, while a square planar structure is suggested for both Co^II and Ni^II complexes. The stoichiometry of the complexes formed in EtOH and buffer solutions, their apparent formation constants and the ranges for obedience to Beer's law are reported for Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II ions. The ligand pK values are calculated. The antimicrobial activity of H₂ MPTS and its Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Mn^II complexes is demonstrated.     

Synthesis of four new vic-dioximes and their nickel(II), cobalt(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II) complexes

Four unsymmetrical vic-dioximes: [L¹H₂] N-(4-butylphenyl)amino-amphi-glyoxime, [L²H₂] N-(4-butylphenyl)amino-anti-glyoxime, [L³H₂] N-(4-phenylazophenyl)amino-amphi-glyoxime and [L⁴H₂] N-(4-phenylazophenyl)amino-anti-glyoxime have been prepared from amphi-chloroglyoxime, anti-chloroglyoxime, 4-butylaniline and 4-(phenylazo)aniline respectively.

Metal-ion directed synthesis of binuclear octaazamacrocyclic complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) and their physico-chemical studies

A novel series of 16-membered binuclear complexes of octaazatetraimine ligand, [M = Mn^II, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II; X = Cl or NO₃] have been synthesized by metal template condensation reactions of o-phenylenediamine with N,N′-diacetylhydrazine in 1:1:1 molar ratio in methanol. The proposed stoichiometry and the bonding of the macrocyclic moiety to metal ions along with the overall stereochemistry have been derived from the results of elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity data and the spectral data revealed from FT-IR, , ESI mass, UV–visible studies. An octahedral geometry has been envisaged for Mn^II, Co^II, and Ni^II complexes while a slight distortion in octahedral geometry has been noticed for Cu^II complexes. The low conductivity data of all the complexes suggest their non-ionic nature.

There are three bridges across the Ni–M atom pairs (M is Co²⁺, Cu²⁺ or Mn²⁺) in each complex, involving two O atoms of a μ‐N,N′‐bis­(salicyl­idene)‐2,2′di­methyl‐1,3‐propane­diaminate ligand and an N—O moiety of a μ‐nitrito group. The coordination sphere around each metal atom, whether Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Mn²⁺ or Ni²⁺, can be described as distorted octahedral. The Ni?M distances are 2.9988 (5) Å in (I), 2.9872 (5) Å in (II) and 3.0624 (8) Å in (III).

Spectral studies on cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of naphthaldehyde substituted aroylhydrazones

A series of new coordination complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) with two new aroylhydrazones, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone (H(2)L(1)) and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde-2-thenoyl-hydrazone (H(2)L(2)) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, (1)H NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy and thermal analysis. IR spectra suggests ligands acts as a tridentate dibasic donor coordinating through the deprotonated naphtholic oxygen atom, azomethine nitrogen atom and enolic oxygen atom.

Polymetallic complexes: Part VI. Schiff base complexes of cobalt(II), copper(II), nickel(II), zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II)

Summary The doubly bidentate ON-NO donor Schiff base, prepared from salicylaldehyde and 4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane forms complexes with 11 metal: ligand stoichiometric ratios. The cobalt(II), copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes exhibit subnormal magnetic moments. All the six complexes possess high melting points and are sparingly soluble in common organic solvents. A dinuclear octahedral structure is proposed for the cobalt(II), copper(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes and a dinuclear tetrahedral configuration is suggested for the cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes on the basis of analytical, conductance, magnetic susceptibility, molecular weight, i.r. and electronic spectral data.     

Synthesis and physico-chemical studies on cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of benzidine diacetyloxime

The synthesis of benzidine diacetyloxime (H₂L) and its cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes is described. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic moments, i.r., u.v.–vis. spectra, t.g.a. and e.s.r. measurements. I.r. spectra show that H₂L behaves as a neutral or dinegative ligand depending on the nature of the metal salts. The molar conductances of the complexes in DMF are commensurate with their non-ionic character. The e.s.r. spectrum of the solid copper(II) complex (7) at room temperature shows broad signal, indicating spin-exchange interactions between copper(II) ions. However, in TMHF solution at 77 K, it shows an axial type ground state with mixed ionic-covalent bond character.

Acetylsalicylhydroxamic acid and its cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes

Acetylsalicylhydroxamic acid (AcSHA) was prepared and characterized. Its pK_a value was determined as 7.78. Solid metal complexes of AcSHA were also prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and i.r. spectroscopies, and by magnetic moment measurements. The shift of both hydroxamic and acetyl carbonyl vibrations to lower frequencies clearly indicates that AcSHA is bonded through oxygen atoms to the metal ions as a tridentate ligand. On the basis of the experimental data, structures for the complexes are purposed.     

Synthesis and reactions of triphenylsilanethiolato complexes of manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II)

Reactions of Fe[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2) with 1 and 2 equiv of Ph(3)SiSH in hexane afforded dinuclear silanethiolato complexes, [Fe(N(SiMe(3))(2))(mu-SSiPh(3))](2) (1) and [Fe(SSiPh(3))(mu-SSiPh(3))](2) (2), respectively. Various Lewis bases were readily added to 2, generating mononuclear adducts, Fe(SSiPh(3))(2)(L)(2) [L = CH(3)CN (3a), 4-(t)BuC(5)H(4)N (3b), PEt(3) (3c), (LL) = tmeda (3d)]. From the analogous reactions of M[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2) (M = Mn, Co) and [Ni(NPh(2))(2)](2) with Ph(3)SiSH in the presence of TMEDA, the corresponding silanethiolato complexes, M(SSiPh(3))(2)(tmeda) [M = Mn (4), Co (5), Ni (6)], were isolated. Treatment of 3a with (PPh(4))(2)[MoS(4)] or (NEt(4))(2)[FeCl(4)] resulted in formation of a linear trinuclear Fe-Mo-Fe cluster (PPh(4))(2)[MoS(4)(Fe(SSiPh(3))(2))(2)] (7) or a dinuclear complex (NEt(4))(2)[Fe(2)(SSiPh(3))(2)Cl(4)] (8). On the other hand, the reaction of 3a with [Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)](PF(6)) gave a cyclic tetranuclear copper cluster Cu(4)(SSiPh(3))(4) (9), where silanethiolato ligands were transferred from iron to copper. Silicon-sulfur bond cleavage was found to occur when the cobalt complex 5 was treated with (NBu(4))F in THF, and a cobalt-sulfido cluster Co(6)(mu(3)-S)(8)(PPh(3))(6) (10) was isolated upon addition of PPh(3) to the reaction system. The silanethiolato complexes reported here are expected to serve as convenient precursors for sulfido cluster synthesis.

The kinetics of thermal decomposition of mixed ligand complexes of Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) containing triethanolamine and oxalate have been studied using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The decomposition reaction in which the complexes lose one molecule of triethanolamine was found to be first order and the activation energy and pre-exponential factors were calculated using established techniques. The values of E_a obtained for these reactions using a modified form of the Horowitz and Metzger equation were 27.75, 20.54, 18.33, 25.32 and 23.25 kcal mole^?1, respectively. Infrared spectral data of these complexes and the intermediates gave additional information about the coordinating nature of the ligands in these complexes.

Co^II,III, Ni^II, and Cu^II complexes of new dehydroacetic acid N4-substituted thiosemicarbazones have been studied. The substituted thiosemicarbazones, N4-dimethyl-(DA4DM), N4-diethyl-(DA4DE), 3-piperidyl-(DApip) and 3-hexamethyleneiminyl-(DAhexim), when reacted with the metal chlorides, produced two Co^II complexes, [Co(DA4DE)Cl₂] and [Co(DAhexim)₂Cl₂]; two Co^III complexes, [Co(DA4DM-H)₂Cl] and [Co(DApip-H)(DApip-2H)]; a paramagnetic Ni^II complex, [Ni(DAhexim)(DAhexim-H)Cl]; three diamagnetic Ni^II complexes, [Ni(DA4DM-H)Cl], [Ni(DA4DE-H)Cl] and [Ni(DApip-H)Cl]; and four Cu^II complexes with the analogous stoichiometry of the latter three Ni^II complexes. These new thiosemicarbazones have been characterized by their melting points, as well as i.r., electronic and ¹H-n.m.r. spectra. The metal complexes have been characterized by i.r. and electronic spectra, and when possible, n.m.r. and e.s.r. spectra, as well as elemental analyses, molar conductivities, and magnetic susceptibilities. The crystal and molecular structure of the four-coordinate Cu^II complex, [Cu(DAhexim-H)Cl] has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the anionic ligand coordinates via an oxygen of the dehydroacetic acid and the thiosemicarbazone moiety's imine nitrogen and thione sulfur.
