Thermal studies on some group VIII complexes with biologically active ligands

The mode of decomposition of complexes involving biologically important ligands such as thiouracil and xanthine coordinated to some group VIII metals has been studies by thermogravimetry. The results show that the complex tris-(dithiouracil) trichlororhodium(III) is monomeric and not polymeric as suggested previously. The decomposition behavior of the complex indicates that after the initial loss of a ligand molecule to form a four-coordinate complex, further ligand removal takes place in one sharp step. In the case of the complexes bis-(3-methylxanthine) diammineplatinum(II) and bis-(9-methylxanthine) diamminepalladium(II), ammonia comes off first, followed by rapid loss of the remaining xanthine ligands. Moreover, the activation energy determined for the main decomposition step suggests that the breakdown of the xanthine ligand involves the initial cleavage of the pyrimidine moiety, followed closely by loss of the remaining imidazole portion.

Zusammenfassung Die Art der Zersetzung von Komplexen einiger Metalle der VIII. Gruppe mit biologisch wichtigen Liganden, wie Thiouracil and Xanthin, wurde thermogravimetrisch untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß der Komplex Tris-(dithiouracil) trichlororhodium(III) monomer und nicht — wie früher vermutet — polymer ist. Das Zersetzungsverhalten des Komplexes zeigt, daß nach dem zu einem tetrakoordinierten Komplex führenden Verlust eines Ligandmoleküls die Abgabe eines weiteren Liganden in einem scharfen Schritt erfolgt. Im Falle der Komplexe Bis-(3-methylxanthin) diamminplatin(II) und Bis-(9-methylxanthin) diamminpalladium(II) erfolgt zunächst eine Abspaltung von Ammoniak, der ein schneller Verlust der verbleibenden Xanthinliganden folgt. Die für die Hauptzersetzungsreaktion bestimmte Aktivierungsenergie läßt vermuten, daß der Abbau der Xanthinliganden über eine Spaltung des Pyrimidinteils verläuft, der schnell die Abgabe des verbleibenden Imidazolteils folgt.

Thermal behaviour of some new complexes with bismacrocyclic ligands as potential biological active species

Novel complexes of type [M₂LCl₄]·nH₂O ((1) M:Ni, n = 5; (2) M:Cu, n = 0 and (3) M:Zn, n = 2; L: ligand resulted from 1,2-phenylenediamine, 3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-diamine and formaldehyde template condensation) were synthesised and characterised. The features of complexes have been assigned from microanalytical, IR and UV–Vis data. The thermal analyses have evidenced the thermal intervals of stability and also the thermodynamic effects that accompany them. Processes as water or hydrochloric acid elimination as well as oxidative degradation of the organic ligand were observed. Complexes display a different thermal behaviour as result of dissimilar chemical interaction of metal ions with chloride anions. The final product of decomposition was metal(II) oxide as powder X-ray diffraction indicated.     

Thermal and electrical studies of some polychelates

Polychelates of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) with 4,4′-dihydroxy-3,3′-diacetylbiphenyl-dithioxamide (DDBDO) have been prepared. Their structures were determined by visible reflectance spectroscopy and magnetic measurements in conjunction with thermogravimetric and IR measurements. Elemental analysis indicates a 1∶1 metal-ligand stoichiometry and the association of water molecules with the central metal. The decomposition temperature of the chelates is in the order Ni(II)>Fe(II)>Co(II)>Mn(II)>Cu(II). Thermal activation energies (E _a ), calculated with the help of Freeman-Carroll and Sharp-Wentworth methods, are in agreement with each other. The polychelates were found to be semiconductive, and the activation energy obtained from semiconducting behavior follows the order Co(II)>Ni(II)>Fe(II)>Cu(II)>Mn(II). The probable structure, such as six coordinated octahedral for Mn(II) and Fe(II) polychelates and four coordinated square planar for Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) polychelates, have been suggested.     

Thermal studies of some biologically active oxovanadium(IV) complexes containing 8-hydroxyquinolinate and hydroxamate ligands

The thermal decomposition behaviours of oxovanadium(IV)hydroxamate complexes of composition [VO(Q)_2?n(HL^1,2)_n]: [VO(C₉H₆ON)(C₆H₄(OH)(CO)NHO)] (I), [VO(C₆H₄(OH)(CO)NHO)₂] (II), [VO(C₉H₆ON)(C₆H₄(OH)(5-Cl)(CO)NHO)] (III), and [VO(C₆H₄(OH)(5-Cl)(CO)NHO)₂] (IV) (where Q?=?C₉H₆NO^? 8-hydroxyquinolinate ion; HL¹?=?[C₆H₄(OH)CONHO]^? salicylhydroxamate ion; HL²?=?[C₆H₃(OH)(5-Cl)CONHO]^? 5-chlorosalicylhydroxamate ion; n?=?1 and 2), which are synthesised by the reactions of [VO(Q)₂] with predetermined molar ratios of potassium salicylhydroxamate and potassium 5-chlorosalicylhydroxamate in THF?+?MeOH solvent medium, have been studied by TG and DTA techniques. Thermograms indicate that complexes (I) and (III) undergo single-step decomposition, while complexes (II) and (IV) decompose in two steps to yield VO(HL^1,2) as the likely intermediate and VO₂ as the ultimate product of decomposition. The formation of VO₂ has been authenticated by IR and XRD studies. From the initial decomposition temperatures, the order of thermal stabilities for the complexes has been inferred as III?>?I > II?>?IV.     

Thermal stability studies of some cerrado plant oils

Thermogravimetry technique is useful to determine the thermal stability of vegetable oils. In this paper some vegetable oils obtained from brazilian Cerrado native plants were studied based on their high oleic acid content. Amburana, baru and pequi pulp oils presented higher yield of extraction compared to soybean oil. The thermal stability of oils in nitrogen was very close hence their fatty acid composition was very similar. Amburana and baru oils have major amount of unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid and pequi pulp oil has the highest short chain fatty acid content which can explain its lowest thermal stability in synthetic air.     

Thermal behaviour of new biological active cadmium mixed ligands complexes

This paper reports the investigation on the thermal stability of new complexes with mixed ligands of the type [Cd(NN)(C₃H₃O₂)₂(H₂O)_m]·nH₂O [(1) NN: 1,10-phenantroline, m = 1, n = 0; (2) NN: 2,2′-bipyridine, m = 0, n = 1.5 and (C₃H₃O₂): acrylate anion]. The IR data indicate a bidentate coordination mode for both heterocyclic amine and acrylate. The in vitro qualitative and quantitative antimicrobial activity assays showed that the complexes exhibited variable antimicrobial activity against planktonic as well as biofilm embedded Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Proteus sp., Salmonella sp., Shigella sp., Acinetobacter boumani, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and fungal (Candida albicans) strains, reference and isolated ones from the hospital environment. The thermal behaviour steps were investigated in synthetic air flow. The thermal transformations are complex processes according to TG and DTA curves including dehydration, amine as well as acrylate thermolysis. The final products of decomposition are the most stable metal oxides.     

Thermal decomposition and biological activity studies of some transition metal complexes derived from mixed ligands sparfloxacin and glycine

The synthetic method of novel ternary M(II)/(III)/(IV) complexes, with fluoroquinolone drug sparfloxacin (HSFX) and glycine (HGly) containing nitrogen and oxygen donor ligand have been synthesized and characterized. The prepared complexes fall into stoichiometric formulae of [M(SFX)(Gly)(H₂O)₂]Cl (M = Cr(III) and Fe(III), [M(SFX)(Gly)(H₂O)₂] (M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and UO₂(II) and [Th(SFX)(Gly)(H₂O)₂]Cl₂. The chelate rings are six-membered and six coordinate with 1:1:1 [M]:[SFX]:[Gly]. The important bands in the IR Spectra and main ¹H NMR signals are tentatively assigned and discussed in relation to the predicted molecular structure. The IR data of the HSFX and HGly ligands suggested the existing of a bidentate binding involving carboxylate O and carbonyl O for HSFX ligand and amino N and carboxylate O atoms for HGly ligand. The coordination geometries and electronic structures are determined from the diffused reflectance spectra and magnetic moment measurements. The complexes exist in octahedral form. The complexes decomposed in four to six steps within the temperature range 30–1,000 °C with metal oxides as residues of decomposition. The decomposition steps are accompanied by endothermic or exothermic peaks in the DTA. The HSFX drug, HGly and metal complexes have been screened for their in vitro antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and antifungal activities against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans by MIC method. The metal complexes were found to have higher antimicrobial activity than the HSFX drug and HGly ligand and their activity are comparable with the antibacterial and antifungal standards.     

Thermal studies on some reactions in the solid-state

The solid-state thermal reactions of 2,6-diamino-4-chloropyrimidine, 3,3-dimethoxybenzidine and of thiosemicarbazide with each of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in a mole ratio of 1∶1 produced (1+1) condensation products (‘half units’). These solid state reactions have been studied by means of differential thermal analysis (DTA). The products of the reactions were identified using elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Some kinetic parameters such as orders and activation energies of the reactions were evaluated form the DTA curves.     

Thermal degradation studies on some metal hydrazinic complexes

The paper deals with the characterization of three hydrazinic complexes with Ni, Cu and Cr respectively, by means of non-isothermal thermal methods, TG, DTG and DTA, under nitrogen atmosphere in order to investigate the structure-thermostability-thermal degradation mechanism correlation. The thermal analysis made evident the degradation mechanisms characteristic of every sample in accordance with the chemical structure. The quantitative analysis by TG-DTG afforded the estimation of the metal amount in the complex on the basis of the resulting metallic oxide nature as well as of some aspects of the thermal degradation mechanism supported by mass spectral measurements. The melting points given by DTA and confirmed by the Boetius method and the initial temperatures of thermal degradation from TG-DTG-DTA afforded to ascertain the temperature range proper for using and storing the complexes under study which show potential practical applications as drugs.     

Thermal and related studies of some basic zirconium salts

Studies of basic zirconium carbonate, oxalate, nitrate and sulphate using TG, DTA and DTG methods, combined with isothermal gaseous product analyses, IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques, have shown that the ease of ligand removal from such salts follows the sequence: loosely bound H₂O>CO ₃ ^2– C₂O ₄ ^2– >NO ₃ ^– >OH^– (or tightly bound H₂O)>SO ₄ ^2– .With the exception of the basic sulphate where the high temperature necessary for complete removal of the sulphato groups resulted in direct formation of crystalline monoclinic zirconia, such ligand removal generally led to generation of the cubic crystalline variety.

Zusammenfassung Auf Grund von TG-, DTA- und DTG-Untersuchungen, verbunden mit einer isothermen Gasprodukteanalyse, sowie IR-spektsoskopischen und Röntgendiffraktionsuntersuchungen von basischen Zirkoniumkarbonaten, -oxalaten, -nitraten und -sulfaten wurde festgestellt, dass die relative Abspaltbarkeit eines Liganden solcher Salze der folgenden Reihenfolge entspricht: locker gebundenes H₂O>CO ₃ ^2– >C₂O ₄ ^2– >NO ₃ ^– >OH^– (bzw. stark gebundenes H₂O)>SO ₄ ^2– . Mit Ausnahme des basischen Sulfates, bei dem zur vollständigen Abspaltung der Sulfatogruppen eioe hohe Temperatur notwendig ist und sich die direkte Bildung von kristallinem, monoklinem Zirkoniumdioxid abspielt, führen solche Ligandenabspaltungen im allgemeinen zu einer kubischen Kristallmodifikation.

Thermal behavior of some new chromium complexes with potential biological importance

Summary This paper reports the investigation of the thermal stability of three new complexes of Cr(III) with acrylate anion, [Cr₂(C₃H₃O₂)₄(OH)₂(H₂O)₄], [Cr₃O(C₃H₃O₂)₆(C₃H₄O₂)₃](C₃H₃O₂)×5H₂O and [Cr₂(C₃H₃O₂)₅(OH)] ×2H₂O, respectively. This type of complexes is important in proper carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of mammals. The thermal decomposition steps were evidenced. The thermal transformations are complex processes according to TG and DTG curves including dehydration and oxidative degradation of acrylate ion processes. The final product of decomposition is the chromium(III) oxide.     

Thermal expansion studies on some gamma-irradiated binary borate glasses

The thermal expansion, density and molar volume of some binary borate glasses were measured before and after exposure to a gamma-ray dose of 10³ kGy. The expansion curves for all glasses, which were measured from room temperature to above the softening temperature, displayed similar characteristics. Increase of the lead oxide content decreased the thermal coefficient of expansion, but the effects of different alkali metal cations were shown to depend on their ionic radii. The various proposed mechanisms of thermal expansion are dealt with. The experimental results could be explained by considering the bond strengths, the polarizing powers of the different cations and the damage produced by radiation. The possible compaction of the structure due to irradiation is also discussed.     

Thermal studies of some divalent metal chelates of croconic acid

The thermal properties of chelates of croconic acid and squaric acid with divalent copper, cobalt, nickel and zinc have been investigated by TG and DTA. The decreasing order of thermal stability for the decomposition of the croconate chelates was Ni > > Zn > Co=Cu and for the squarate complexes, Zn > Co=Cu > Ni. The copper croconate TG showed water loss in two distinct steps. This was rationalized on the basis of the already known Jahn-Teller effect for this molecule. The nickel squarate was thought to have a different structure than the other squarate chelates. Activation energies were calculated for the croconate chelates from their DTA curves.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften der Chelate der Crocon- und Squarsäure mit zweiwertigem Kupfer, Cobalt, Nickel und Zink wurden durch TG und DTA untersucht. Die Abnahme der thermischen Stabilität bei der Zersetzung der Croconat-Chelate verlief von Ni>Zn>Co=Cu und der Squarat-Komplexe von Zn>Co=Cu>Ni. Die TG der Kupfercroconate wies eine Wasserabgabe in zwei deutlichen Stufen auf. Diese erklärt sich aufgrund des bereits bekannten Jahn-Teller Effekts für dieses Molekül. Für Nickelsquarat wurde eine andere Struktur angenommen als für die anderen Squaratkomplexe. Die Aktivierungsenergien für die Croconatchelate wurden aus ihren DTA-Kurven berechnet.

Résumé Les propriétés thermiques des chélates formés par les acides croconique et squarique avec le cuivre, le cobalt, le nickel et le zinc ont été étudiées par TG et ATD. La stabilité thermique des chélates de l'acide croconique décroît dans l'ordre Ni>Zn>Co=Cu et pour l'acide squarique Zn>Co=Cu>Ni. L'étude TG du croconate de cuivre révèle une perte d'eau en deux étapes distinctes. Ceci s'explique par l'effet Jahn-Teller, déjà connu pour cette molécule. Le squarate de nickel possède sans dute une structure différente de celle des autres chélates de l'acide squarique. Les énergies d'activation des chélates de l'acide croconiqus ont été calculées à partir des courbes ATD.

Thermal studies of some divalent metal chelates of 8-mercaptoquinoline

Divalent metal chelates of 8-mercaptoquinoline (8-MQ) were prepared with copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, lead, iron, cadmium, and mercury.

Thermal studies of some purine compounds and their metal complexes

The mechanism of the decomposition of the entitled compounds and their complexes is studied. Adenine, its Schiff base of salicylaldehyde, and its azo resorcinol derivatives are ended with carbon. However, oxalonitrile compound is appeared as a final product for adenine acetylacetone and an intermediate for adenine. The thermodynamic parameters of the decomposition reaction were evaluated and discussed. The change of entropy values, ΔS ^#, showed that the transition states are more ordered than the reacting complexes. The thermal processes proceed in complicated mechanisms where the bond between the central metal ion and the ligands dissociates after losing small molecules such as H₂O, NH₃, or HCl. In most cases, the free radical species of the ligands are assigned to exist through decomposition mechanisms. The copper adenine and nickel salicylaldehyde complexes are ended with the metal as a final product. However, the cobalt adenine, its acetylacetone, its salicylaldehyde, cadmium and mercury guanine complexes are ended with metal oxides.     

Ternary chelates of Zn(II) with some biological active ligands

The mixed-ligand chelates of Zn(II) with aminobutanedioic (aspartic), 2-aminopropanedioic (glutamic), pyridine 2,3-dicarboxylic (quinolinic), pyridine 2,6 dicarboxylic (diplicolinic), mercapto butanedioic (thiomalic) and thiodiacetic (thiodiglycolic), acids have been investigated potentiometrically at 30°C and 0.1 M (NaClO₄) ionic strength. The mixed-ligand chelate is formed by a stepwise equilibria when quinolinic and dipicolinic acids are used as primary ligands. The mixed-ligand chelate formation is occured in aspartic-thiomalic, aspartic-thiodiglycolic, glutamic-thiomalic, glutamic-thiodiglycolic acid systems by simultaneous equilibrium. The high stability of mixed-ligand chelate is explained on the considerations of structural aspects. It is concluded that in the mixed-ligand chelation, the coordination number six of Zn(II) is fulfilled.     

Thermal and optical studies on some monomer and polymer diacetylenes

We describe the thermal and optical studies of some diacetylene molecules which were specially designed in an attempt to reduce the temperature at which the mesophase appears. Original studies were on symmetrical molecules and these were extended to include typical liquid crystal molecules with diacetylenes providing a polymeric backbone and unsymmetrically substituted diacetylenes including Schiffs bases with long alkyl chains.
