Synthesis and spectroscopic studies of novel Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) mixed ligand complexes with saccharin and nicotinamide

Four novel mixed ligand complexes of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) with saccharin and nicotinamide were synthesised and characterised on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopic study, UV–Vis spectrometric and magnetic susceptibility data. The structure of the Cu (II) complex is completely different from those of the Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes. From the frequencies of the saccharinato CO and SO₂ modes, it has been proven that the saccharinato ligands in the structure of the Cu complex are coordinated to the metal ion ([Cu(NA)₂(Sac)₂(H₂O)], where NA — nicotinamide, Sac — saccharinato ligand or ion), whilst in the Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes are uncoordinated and exist as ions ([M(NA)₂(H₂O)₄](Sac)₂).     

Synthesis,spectroscopic properties,structural characterization and electrochemistry of mixed ligand complexes of copper(I) halide with PPh3 and naphthylazoimidazole

The reaction of CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) with a mixture of PPh₃ and 1-alkyl-2-(naphthyl-α/β-azo)imidazole has synthesized mixed ligand complexes of the composition, [Cu(α/β-NaiR)(PPh₃)X]. The spectroscopic characterization (IR, UV–Vis, ¹H NMR) supports this formulation. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study of [Cu((α-NaiMe)(PPh₃)I] (7a) (α-NaiMe = 1-methyl-2-(naphthyl-α-azo)imidazole) shows a distorted tetrahedral geometry about Cu(I). Cyclic voltammograms of the complexes show a high potential Cu(II)/Cu(I) couple and azo reductions. The [Cu(α/β-NaiR)(PPh₃)I] complexes show an additional oxidative response at 0.4 V that is assigned to I/I⁻ A sharp anodic peak at ∼−0.2 V is assigned to the oxidation of metallic Cu, deposited on electrode surface upon scanning to the negative side of the SCE. DFT and TD-DFT computations of [Cu((α-NaiMe)(PPh₃)I] (7a), [Cu((α-NaiMe)(PPh₃)I]⁺ (7a⁺) and [Cu((α-NaiMe)(PPh₃)I]⁻ (7a⁻) were carried out to examine the electronic configuration and to explain the spectral and redox properties of the complexes.     

Synthesis,characterization and fluorescence spectra of mixed ligand Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione ligand

The novel mixed ligand complexes [M(bpy)(phen-dione)](PF₆)₂ (M?=?Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II), bpy?=?2,2^′-bipyridine and phen-dione?=?1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and electronic absorption spectroscopies. The ν(C=O) of coordinated phen-dione in these complexes are very similar to the free phen-dione ligand showing that phen-dione is not coordinated to metal ion from its C=O sites. Absorption spectra of the complexes show two absorption bands for intraligand transitions. These absorption bands show dependence to the dielectric constant of solvent. These complexes exhibit an intensive fluorescence band around 535?nm in DMF when the excitation wavelength is 260?nm at room temperature. The fluorescence intensity of these complexes is larger than that of the free ligand.

Derivative of 8-hydroxyquinoline i.e. Clioquinol is well known for its antibiotic properties, drug design and coordinating ability towards metal ion such as Copper(II). The structure of mixed ligand complexes has been investigated using spectral, elemental and thermal analysis. In vitro anti microbial activity against four bacterial species were performed i.e. Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Bacillus substilis and found that synthesized complexes (15–37 mm) were found to be significant potent compared to standard drugs (clioquinol i.e. 10–26 mm), parental ligands and metal salts employed for complexation. The kinetic parameters such as order of reaction (n = 0.96–1.49), and the energy of activation (E _a = 3.065–142.9 kJ mol⁻¹), have been calculated using Freeman–Carroll method. The range found for the pre-exponential factor (A), the activation entropy (S* = −91.03 to−102.6 JK⁻¹ mol⁻¹), the activation enthalpy (H* = 0.380–135.15 kJ mol⁻¹), and the free energy (G* = 33.52–222.4 kJ mol⁻¹) of activation reveals that the complexes are more stable. Order of stability of complexes were found to be [Cu(A⁴)(CQ)OH] · 4H₂O > [Cu(A³)(CQ)OH] · 5H₂O > [Cu(A¹)(CQ)OH] · H₂O > [Cu(A²)(CQ)OH] · 3H₂O

The fluorescent properties for the zinc and cadmium complexes were investigated at room temperature.     

Synthesis,characterization, and structural studies of two heteroleptic Mn(II) complexes with tridentate N,N,N-pincer type ligand

Abstract

Molecular and supramolecular structures of two new Mn(II) complexes with tridentate N,N,N-pincer type ligand (L) are presented. [MnL(H₂O)₂Cl]Cl (1) and [MnL(H₂O)₃](NO₃)₂·H₂O (2) have octahedral coordination environments with different degrees of distortion. The molecular packing of 1 and 2 is dominated by strong O–H?Cl and O–H?O H-bonds, respectively, as well as weak C–H?O interactions. The percentage of Cl?H and O?H contacts are 15.5 and 31.5% for 1 and 2, respectively, using Hirshfeld analysis. Based on atoms in molecules theory, the Mn–N, Mn–O, and Mn–Cl bonds have the characteristics of closed shell interactions. Thermal decomposition of L and its Mn(II) complexes are also presented.     

Synthesis and characterization of bis(N,N-diethylnicotinamide) <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-hydroxybenzoate complexes of Co(II), Ni(H), Cu(II), and Zn(II)

Four novel mixed-ligand complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with m-hydroxybenzoate (m-Hba) and N,N-diethylnicotinamide (Dena) were synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopic study, and solid state UV-Vis spectrophotometric and magnetic-susceptibility data. The thermal behavior of the complexes was studied by combined TG-DTA methods in static air atmosphere, and the mass spectra were recorded. The Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes, except for the Cu(II) complex, contain two molecules of coordinated water, two m-Hba, and two Dena ligands per formula unit. In these complexes, the m-Hba and Dena behave as monodentate ligands via acidic oxygen and nitrogen of the pyridine ring. In the Cu(II) complex, the m-Hba is coordinated as monoanionic bidentate ligand through acidic oxygen and carbonyl oxygen. Dena is bonded with Cu²⁺ as monodentate ligand by the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring. The decomposition pathways and the stability of the complexes are interpreted in terms of the proposed structural data. The final decomposition products were found to be the respective metal oxides. The article was submitted by the authors in English.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of mixed carbene-carboxylate complexes of palladium(II)

Mixed carbene-carboxylate complexes of Palladium(II) have been prepared by reacting {1,1^′-dimethyl-3,3^′-methylenediimidazoline-2,2^′-diylidene} palladium(II) diiodide (1) [Angew. Chem. 107 (1995) 2602; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 34 (1995) 2371; J. Organomet. Chem. 557 (1998) 93] with AgO₂CR, where R=CF₃, CF₂CF₃ and CF₂CF₂CF₃. In this manner, {1,1^′-dimethyl-3,3^′-methylenediimidazoline-2,2^′-diylidene} palladium(II) bis(trifluo-roacetate) (2), {1,1^′-dimethyl-3,3^′-methylenediimidazoline-2,2^′-diylidene} palladium(II) bis(pentafluoropropionate) (3) and {1,1^′-dimethyl-3,3^′-methylenediimidazoline-2,2^′-diylidene} palladium(II) bis(heptafluorobutyrate) (4) were obtained. All three complexes were fully characterized by ¹H-, ¹³C- and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy as well as ESI mass spectrometry. X-ray crystal structure analyses of complexes 3 and 4 reveal mononuclear species with a square planar metal center coordinated by a cis-chelating dicarbene and two monodentate carboxylate ligands. The results show that the introduction of a cis-chelating N,N-heterocyclic carbene ligand stabilizes the palladium-carboxylate moiety effectively.

The characterization of these complexes was carried out by elemental analysis and FT-IR, ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies. C-coordination of ylide and O-coordination of DMSO are demonstrated by single-crystal X-ray analysis of mononuclear complex of [HgBr₂{CH(PPh₃)C(O)C₆H₄Me}(OSMe₂)] (6). Complex 6 is monomeric with tetrahedral geometry around the metal ion.

bis(nicotinamide) and bis(N,N-diethyl nicotinamide) p-hydroxybenzoate complexes of Ni(II), Cu(II) AND Zn(II)

The mixed-ligand p-hydroxybenzoate complexes of Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with nicotinamide and N,N-diethylnicotinamide were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements and mass spectrometry. The thermal behavior of the complexes was studied by simultaneous TG, DTG and DTA methods in static air atmosphere. The infrared spectral characteristics of the complexes are also discussed. The complexes contain two water molecules, two p-hydroxybenzoato (p-hba) and two nicotinamide (na) (or diethylnicotinamide (dena)) ligands per formula unit. In these complexes, all ligands are coordinated to the metal ion as monodendate ligands. In Zn(II)-na and Cu(II)-dena complexes, thep-hydroxybenzoate behaves as bidentate chelating ligand through carboxylic oxygen atoms. The decomposition pathways and the stability of the complexes are interpreted in the terms of the structural data. The final decomposition products were found to be the respective metal oxides. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Synthesis, characterization and spectra studies on Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes with thiocarbamide ligand containing Schiff base group

The ligand of 4-phenyl-1-(1-phenylethylidene)thiosemicarbazide (HL) and its metal complexes of ZnL₂ (1) and CuL₂ (2) have been synthesized. Elemental analysis, IR and X-ray single crystal diffraction characterizations for 1 and 2 have been carried out. In the complexes 1 and 2, the central metallic ions Zn²⁺ and Cu²⁺, coordinate with two deprotonated ligands, L⁻, respectively and adopt distorted tetrahedral geometries. The thermal analyses result shows that the two complexes undergo two similar decomposition processes because of their similar geometric configurations. For the two complexes, UV–Vis spectra have been measured and DFT calculations at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory prove that the electronic spectra of 1 are corresponding with intraligand electronic transitions, and the electronic spectra of 2 are attributed to intraligand electronic transitions as well as d–d electronic transitions. Fluorescence spectra measurements indicate that the complex of 1 emits stronger fluorescence than the ligand of HL, and the complex 2 does not emit fluorescence at all. Electrochemical analyses reveal that both the oxidation peak currents and the reduction peak currents of 1 and 2 are stronger than those of the ligand, respectively.

Synthesis and structural characterization of Ni(II) complexes with the chiral CpH(PNMent) tripod ligand

Treatment of NiCl₂ with the tripod ligand (L_Ment,S_C)-1H led to (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiCl] in which the potentially tridentate ligand coordinated to the metal center in a bidentate way via the cyclopentadienyl system and the phosphorus atom. In the presence of NH₄PF₆ [(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiCl] readily underwent Cl/PPh₃ exchange to give (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆. Reaction of (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiCl] with 0.5 eq. of dppe afforded [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂. (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆ and [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂ were characterized by NMR and MS spectroscopy, and also by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The cyclopentadienyl ligand of (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆ shows a distortion intermediate between the ene-allyl and diene types, while the two cyclopentadienyl ligands of [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂ have intermediate and diene distortions, respectively. According to the temperature dependent NMR spectra of (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆ and [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂ two different conformations of the tether in the Cp(PN_Ment)Ni system could be frozen out at low temperatures.
