Synthesis,crystal structure,thermal decomposition,and XPS studies of homo and heterotrinuclear Cu(II)–Cu(II)–Cu(II) and Cu(II)–Ni(II)–Cu(II) complexes obtained from salpn type ligands

In this study, a mononuclear CuL complex was prepared by the use of bis-N,N′-(salicylidene)-1, 3-propanediamine (LH₂) and Cu²⁺ ion. NiCl₂ and NiBr₂ salt were treated with this complex in dioxanewater medium and two new complexes [(CuL)₂NiCl₂(H₂O)₂] and [(CuL)₂NiBr₂(H₂O)₂)] with Cu(II)–Ni(II)–Cu(II) nucleus structure were obtained. In addition to this bis-N,N′-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,3-diaminopropane (L^HH₂) was prepared by the reduction of LH₂ with NaBH₄ in MeOH medium. The treatment of this reduced complex with Cu²⁺ ion resulted a complex [(CuL^H)₂CuCl₂] with a structure of Cu(II)–Cu(II)–Cu(II). The complexes prepared were characterized by the use of elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal structures of [(CuL)₂NiBr₂(H₂O)₂] (СIF file CCDC 1448402) and [(CuL^H)₂CuCl₂] (СIF file CCDC 1448401) complexes were elucidated. It was found that halogen ions are coordinated to terminal Cu²⁺ ions which are in a distorted square pyramid coordination sphere. It was determined that the central Cu(II), which joins terminal square pyramidal Cu(II), was coordinated only by the phenolic oxygens of the ligand while the central Ni(II) was coordinated by two phenolic oxygens of the organic ligand and two water molecules. These complexes were investigated by XPS and it was found that the terminal and central Cu²⁺ ions were different in Cu(II)–Cu(II)–Cu(II) complex. Also, the thermal degradation of the CuLH complex unit was observed to exothermic in contrast to the expectations.

Cu(II)-promoted methanolysis of N,N-dipicolylacetamide. multistep activation by decoupling of > ̈̈N-C═O resonance via Cu(II)-N binding, delivery of the Cu(II):((-)OCH3) nucleophile, and metal ion assistance of the departure of the leaving group

The methanolysis of the Cu(II) complex of N-acetyl-N,N-bis(2-picolyl)amine (2) was investigated by a kinetic study as a function of pH in methanol at 25 °C and computationally by DFT calculations. The active species is the basic form of the complex (3(-)), or (1:Cu(II))((-)OCH(3))(HOCH(3))), and the rate constant for its solvolysis is k(max) = 1.5 × 10(-4) s(-1). The mechanism involves Cu(II) binding to the amide N lone pair, decoupling it from >N-C═O resonance, concomitant with Cu(II):((-)OCH(3)) delivery to the adjacent >N-C═O unit, followed by Cu(II)-assisted departure of the N,N-bis(2-picolyl)amide from a tetrahedral intermediate.     

X-ray study of volatile Ni(II), Cu(II), and Pd(II) complexes of β-ketoimine pivalyltrifluoroacetone

Synthesis of volatile complexes based on -ketoimine pivalyltrifluoroacetone, C(CH₃)₃C(NH)CH₂COCF₃, is described. The general formula of the complexes is M(L)₂, where M = Cu, Ni, Pd. Complexes of this kind with Ni and Pd were obtained for the first time. The Cu and Pd complexes were found to be isostructural. A comprehensive crystal-chemical study showed that all structures are molecular and built of trans-complexes. The central atom has a square plane environment. The average M-O and M-N distances are nearly equal in all compounds: 1.84 , 1.92 , and 1.98 for Ni, Cu, and Pd complexes, respectively; the mean values of the O-M-N chelate angles are 93.4°, 91.9°, and 92.7°, respectively.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by I.

Redox reactions of peroxo terpyridine complexes of Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cu(II)?Zn(II): A pulse radiolysis study

The reactions of e_aq⁻, CH₂OH·, (CH₃)₂COH·, CO, OH· and N₃· radicals with peroxo terpyridine complexes of Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cu(II) Zn(II) in aqueous solution were investigated by pulse radiolysis. The primary products from the reduction and oxidation of the macrocyclic complexes were assigned a radical nature by comparing their optical spectra with those of Cu(I), Zn(I), and Cu(III) species. Such metal–ligand radical products undergo disproportionation that does not lead to the formation of Cu(0) or colloidal copper. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 32: 92–98, 2000     

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.

Two heterometallic coordination complexes, {[Cu(aeop)Zn(H₂O)₃]₂?·?3H₂O} _n (1) and [Cu(aeop)Ni(H₂O)₄]?·?4H₂O (2) (H₄aeop?=?N-(2-aminoterephthalic acid)-N′-(1,3-propanediamine)oxamidate), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray crystal diffraction. Complex 1 features a 1-D chain constructed from neutral tetranuclear units. Complex 2 is a neutral binuclear complex. Through intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions, 2 gives a 3-D network structure. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (2–300?K) of 2 show a pronounced antiferromagnetic interaction between the copper(II) and nickel(II), and the exchange integral J is equal to ?42.7?cm^?1.     

Structure of the hexanuclear Cu(II) β-diketonate complex

The structure of the hexanuclear copper(II) β-diketonate complex with gfa (hexafluoroacetylacetone) and dpm (dipivalylmethanate) ligands was studied by low-temperature (T = 100 K) X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for Cu₆(gfa)₄(dpm)₄(OH)₄ [C₆₄H₈₄Cu₆F₂₄O₂₀]: a = 28.2364(7) Å, b = 12.8072(3) Å, c = 24.7199(7) Å, β= 115.900(1)°, V = 8041.5(4) ų, space group C2/m, Z = 4, d _calc 1.661 g/cm³. The coordination polyhedra of the copper atoms — squares and octahedra — are formed by the oxygen atoms of the gfa and dpm ligands and groups. In all cases, the Cu-O distances vary from 1.89 Å to 2.13 Å. The complexes follow the sites of the rhombohedral sublattice with the parameters a _c ≈ 14.4 Å and a _c ≈ 61.5°.     

Ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone catalysed by (pyridyl)benzoazole Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes

This paper describes the synthesis of (pyridyl)benzoazole Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes and their applications as catalysts in ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL). Reactions of 2-(3-pyridyl)-1H-benzimidazole (L1), 2-(2-pyridyl)-1H-benzothiazole (L2) and 2-(2-pyridyl)-1H-benzimidazole (L3) with Zn(II) and Cu(II) acetates produced the corresponding complexes; [Zn₂(L1)₂(OAc)₄)] (1), [Cu₂(L1)₂(OAc)₄] (2), [Zn(L2)(OAc)₂)] (3), [Zn(L3)(OAc)₂)] (4) and [Cu(L3), (OAc)₂)] (5). Molecular structures of complexes 2 and 5a revealed that while L1 adopts a monodentate binding mode, through the pyridyl nitrogen atom, L3 exhibits a bidentate coordination mode. All the complexes formed active catalysts in the ROP of ε-CL to afford moderate molecular weight polymers. The kinetics of the ROP reactions of ε-CL were pseudo-first-order with respect to monomer and catalysts.     

First example of a Cu(I)-(η2-O,O)nitrite complex derived from Cu(II)-nitrosyl

Copper(II) complex, 1, of the bidentate ligand, L [L = bis(2-ethyl-4-methyl-imidazol-5yl)methane] has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Addition of nitric oxide gas to a degassed acetonitrile solution of 1 yielded the corresponding copper(ii)-nitrosyl complex, 2. In acetonitrile, complex 2 on reaction with water afforded the corresponding copper(I)-nitrite complex, 3. Single crystal structure of complex 3 reveals the bidentate nitrite (η(2)-O,O) bonding. This is the first example of a structurally characterized Cu(I)-(η(2)-O,O)nitrite complex with N-donor ligand. The sequence of the formation of these complexes is just the reverse of the key steps of the postulated nitrite reduction cycle by CuNiRs.     

Biophysical,spectroscopic and biochemical investigation of DNA–Cu(II)-GSH interactions

The interaction of DNA with Copper(II)-Glutathione (CuGSH) has been investigated by various biophysical methods. The interaction ratio of DNA and Copper(II)-Glutathione in solution phase has been determined spectrophotometrically and found to be 0.25. EPR spectroscopy and UV–Vis findings suggest that Cu(II)-Glutathione neither bound to the DNA bases covalently nor intercalated, this has further been substantiated by the determination of intrinsic binding constant (2.1 × 10²). Viscometric measurements also support this type of binding to DNA by Cu(II)-Glutathione. EPR studies and visible d–d spectra of CuGSH after interaction with DNA, suggested that Copper remained in the Copper(II) state. DNA conformations after interaction with Cu(II)-Glutathione has been determined spectroscopically. Circular dichroism studies revealed that the B conformation of DNA is changed to A after interaction with Cu(II)-Glutathione. This has further been substantiated by thin film IR (Infrared) studies.     

Complexes of Cu(I) and Pd(II) with (+)-camphor and (–)-cavrone thiosemicarbazones: Synthesis,structure, and cytotoxicity of the Pd(II) complex

CuLCl, CuL¹Cl, PdLCl₂, and PdL¹Cl₂ complexes [L and L¹ being (+)-camphor and (–)-carvone thiosemicarbazones, respectively] have been synthesized. The structure of binuclear [Pd₂L²²Cl₄] complex has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. The L² ligand (dehydrogenated (–)-carvone thiosemicarbazone) is coordinated via the bridging S atom to two Pd atoms. The complexes of Cu(I) and Pd(II) presumably have polynuclear and binuclear structure, respectively. These facts are in good agreement with IR and NMR spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry data which indicate the coordination of L and L¹ ligands via the S atom. The influence of L¹ and PdL¹Cl₂ on viability of the Hep2 cell line has been studied. The PdL¹Cl₂ complex is more cytotoxic than L¹ ligand.     

Interaction of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with N,N′-(aldose)2-thiocarbohydrazide: synthesis,electrochemistry, and spectral characterization

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with N,N′-(aldose)₂–thiocarbohydrazide (LH₂) were synthesized, isolated as solid products and characterized by analytical means as well as by spectral techniques, FTIR, ¹H NMR, EPR, UV spectroscopy, and CD. All the metal ions formed M[LH]X complexes. Molar conductance values in DMF indicate non-electrolytic complexes. In DMSO with tetramethylammonium chloride supporting electrolyte, the copper complex displays irreversible cyclic voltammetric responses with E _p near ?0.621 and 0.461 V versus Ag/AgCl at scan rate of 0.1 V s^?1. Probable structures for the complexes are proposed.     

Solvent free synthesis,characterization, DFT,cyclic voltammetry and biological assay of Cu(II), Hg(II) and UO2(II) – Schiff base complexes

A series of metal ion complexes was prepared in solid state from Cu(II), Hg(II) and UO₂(II) ions with 3-oxo-3-(2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazineyl)-N-phenylpropanamide (H₃L) ligand through solvent free synthesis methodology. The chemical formulae of the new compounds were estimated according to variable spectral and analytical investigations. The ligand exhibited a neutral or mononegative tetradentate mode of coordination towards the central ions inside the octahedral arrangement that proposed for the three complexes. The DFT/B3LYP method was applied under different basis sets (6-31G*or SDD) to optimize the structures of new compounds except the UO₂(II) complex. The computational data were investigated to verify the binding mode that suggested spectrally. Moreover, studies in solution regarding Cu(II) ion via cyclic voltammetry were performed in absence or presence of H₃L, to realize the significant effect of complex formation on the electrochemical manners of copper. The shifts in the potential peaks accompanied by the changes in the values of parameters correspond to kinetic and thermodynamic. Also, the solvation and kinetic characteristics for the cathodic and anodic potential of Cu(II) ion in absence or presence of H₃L at different scan rates, were estimated. Finally, the ligand and copper ion exhibited high affinity towards complexation in solution. Furthermore, the activity of the new compounds towards inhibiting microbes was studied against Staphylococcus aureus (G+) and Escherichia coli (G-) bacteria as well as Candida albicans (fungus) by determining the inhibition zone diameter. Also, both the antioxidant and cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds were evaluated. Commonly, a remarkable antimicrobial and anticancer activity was appeared with UO₂(II) complex and the ligand. While, the antioxidant activity of all compounds appeared lower.
