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 on Solid Complexes of Saccharin with Divalent Transition Metal Ions

The thermal decompositions of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of saccharin were studied in static air atmosphere. All of the complexes contain four molecules of coordination water and two molecules of crystallization water. The water molecules were removed in a single stage, except from the Zn(II) complex, which exhibited two endothermic effects. The dehydration process was usually accompanied by a sharp colour change. The anhydrous complexes exhibited a phase transition and the decomposition or combustion of saccharin occurred in the second and subsequent stages. The final decomposition products were identified by XRPD as the respective metal oxides. The kinetic parameters, such as the order of reaction and energy of activation for the dehydration stage, were evaluated and the thermal stabilities of the complexes are discussed.

The processes of dehydration and decomposition of the Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) salts ofd-tartaric acid were studied by using TG, DTG and DTA methods in air or in argon, and also IR-spectroscopy. The equations of thermal decomposition were established. For the dehydration processes, the kinetic parametersn, E andInA were determined.     

Thermal decompositions of some divalent transition metal complexes of triethanolamine

The thermal behaviours of the Ti(II), Mn(II), Fe(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of triethanolamine were studied by means of thermogravimetry, differential thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis infrared spectrophotometry and elemental analysis. The sequence of thermal stability of the metal complexes, determined by using the initial decomposition temperature, was found to be Ti(II)?Mn(II)>Fe(II)>Ni(II)>Zn(II)>Cu(II). Some of the kinetic parameters, such as the activation energy and order of reaction for the initial decomposition reaction, were calculated and the relationship between the thermal stability and the chemical structure of the complexes is discussed.     

Effect of the Nature of Crosslinking Agent on the Catalase‐Like Activity of Polystyrene‐Bound Glycine–Metal Complexes

Abstract

Catalase‐like activity of metal complexes of various crosslinked polystyrene‐supported glycines were carried out and correlated with the nature of crosslinking agent in the polymer support. Polystyrenes with 2 mol% divinyl benzene (DVB), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and 1,6‐hexanediol diacrylate (HDODA) crosslinking were used as polymer supports. Glycine functions were incorporated to the chloromethylpolystyrenes by polymer analogues reactions and complexed with Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) ions. The metal uptake varied in the order: Cu(II) > Cr(III) > Mn(II) > Co(II) > Fe(III) > Ni(II) > Zn(II), and extent of metal uptake by various crosslinked systems varied with the nature of crosslinking agent. The polymeric ligands and the metal complexes were characterized by various analytical techniques. The catalytic activities of these metal complexes were investigated towards the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and was found to decrease in the order: Co(II) > Cu(II) > Ni(II) > Cr(III) > Fe(III) > Mn(II) > Zn(II). With increasing rigidity of the crosslinking agent the catalytic activity also decreased.     

Thermal Studies on Solid Complexes of Uracil With Some Divalent Transition Metal Ions

The thermal behaviour of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pd(II) complexes of uracil was studied by TG, DTG and DTA in a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere. Two processes occur in the isolated uracil complexes: dehydration and pyrolytic decomposition. In the hydrated complexes, the first stage observed was the loss of water molecules, which was followed by decomposition of the uracil. The thermal dehydration of the complexes occurred in from one to three steps. The final decomposition products were found to be the respective metal oxides, except in the cases of the Co(II) and Pd(II) complexes, which produced metallic cobalt and palladium, respectively. The order of reaction and energy of activation for the dehydration stage were evaluated.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Potentiometric Study of Tetracycline and Oxytetracycline with some Metal Ions of Biological Interest

Abstract

The stepwise metal-ligand stability constants of tetracycline and oxytetraoycline chelates with Mg(II), Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Zr(II) and Sn(II) have been determined using the Bjerrum-Calvin titration technique as employed by Irving and Rossotti. Protonation constant of the ligand and stability constants of the respective metal complexes have been determined at constant temperature (25°C) and ionic strength (0.1 M KCl). The general order of overall stability constant values have been found to be: Zr(IV) > Fe(III) > Co(II) > Zn(II) > Mg(II) > Mn(II) > Ni(II) > Sn(II) > Tn(II) > Cr(II). The rign values of the atability constanta are attricutel to the Ligands, which are stronger as an acid and weaser as a oase.     

Capillary gas chromatographic analysis of pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate metal chelates

Pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (PDTC) chelates of Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(III), Fe(III), Mn(II), Cr(III), and VO(II) were analysed by capillary GC on a DB-1701 column (30 m x 0.25 mm id) with flame ionisation detection (FID). Linear calibrations were attained within "1-30 microg/mL" for Ni(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), and VO(II), and within "2-50 microg/mL" for Co(III) and Zn(II). The limits of detection were in the "150-500 ng/mL" range, corresponding to 15-50 pg amounts reaching the FID system. The optimised method was applied to the determination of Cu(II) and Ni(II) in coins, and that of Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Cr(III), and VO(II) in pharmaceutical preparations with relative standard deviations within 1.1-5.2%. The results obtained are in good agreement with sewage water samples and the declared values for the pharmaceutical formulations, or with the results of AAS of metal contents in coins, pharmaceutical preparations, and sewage water samples.     

Synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial activity of homodinuclear complexes derived from 2,6- bis [3′-methyl- 2′-carboxamidyliminomethyl(6′,7′)benzindole]-4-methylphenol,an end-off compartmental ligand

End-off compartmental pentadentate Schiff base, 2,6-bis[3′-methyl-2′-carboxamidyliminomethyl(6′,7′)benzindole]-4-methylphenol is synthesized and characterized by 2D NMR experiments and mass spectral techniques. The homodinuclear phenalato bridged end-off compartmental Schiff-base complexes Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Fe(III), VO(IV), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) have been prepared by the template method using the precursors 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol, 3-methyl(6′,7′)-2-benzindolehydrazide and metal chlorides in 1?:?2?:?2 ratio. The complexes are characterized by IR, NMR, UV-vis, FAB-mass, ESR and TGA techniques. Ni(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III) complexes have octahedral geometry, whereas the Cu(II), Co(II), VO(IV), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes have square pyramidal geometry. Low magnetic moment values for Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Fe(III) and VO(IV) complexes indicate antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between two metal centers. The metal complexes have been screened for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphyloccocus aureus and antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum.     

Thermal and kinetic studies on solid complexes of 2-(2-benzimidazolylazo)-4-acetamidophenol with some transition metals

The preparation and characterization of 2-(2-benzimidazolylazo)-4-acetamidophenol (BIAAP) complexes are reported. Different physico-chemical methods like IR, Magnetic, solid reflectance spectra and molar conductance, were used to investigate the structure of BIAAP complexes. In particular, the thermal decomposition of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes of BIAAP is studied in nitrogen atmosphere. All the complexes do not contain coordinated water molecules but contain (2-4) water molecules of crystallization. The water molecules were removed in a single step. The complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) ions exhibited a phase transition and the decomposition or combustion of BIAAP occurred in the second and subsequent steps. The final decomposition products were identified by mass spectrometry as the corresponding metal oxides or carbonate. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as, energy of activation, enthalpy, entropy and free energy change of the complexes were evaluated and the stabilities of the thermal decomposition of the complexes are discussed. From the kinetic point of view, it is found that the thermal stability of the complexes follows the order Ni(II) > Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Fe(III) > Co(II) > Cd(II).     

Physicochemical characterization,thermal, and electrical conductivity studies of some transition metal complexes of bis-chelating Schiff base

Polychelates of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and VO(IV) with a new bis-chelating Schiff base derived from 5-acetyl-2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone and isonicotinic acidhydrazide have been synthesized. The resulting polychelates have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR and electronic spectral data, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermogravimetric analysis. All the polychelates are dark coloured solids and insoluble in water and common organic solvents. Thermogravimetric analyses confirm coordination of water in complexes. Various kinetic and thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated from thermal data. The ligand acts as a bis-tridentate molecule coordinating through deprotonated phenolic/enolic oxygen atoms and azomethine nitrogen atoms. The solid-state conductivity of ligand and its polychelates have been measured in their compressed pellet form and all compounds were found to be semiconducting in nature.     

A thermoanalytical study of dipicolinic acid acting as a terdentate ligand in coordination compounds of divalent metal ions

The coordination compounds obtained by reaction of hot solutions of dipicolinic acid with the carbonates of the divalent metal ions manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) are studied using TG, DSC and HTRS techniques. For the thermal stability a sequence Mn > Fe > Zn > Co > Ni > Cu may be observed. This series is compared with the similar series obtained with isocinchomeronic acid. The thermal stability is, for each metal of the series, isocinchomeronic > dipicolinic. Thermal stability is discussed in terms of the intermolecular bonds, of the structures and of the stability constants of the complexes examined.     

Thermal properties of some complexes of quinolinic acid with divalent metal ions

Studies of the complexes of pyridinecarboxylic acids with divalent metal ions as a function of the position of the carboxyl groups were extended. The thermal properties of the complexes of quinoline acid (pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid) with several divalent metal ions were determined by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). A correlation between these compounds and others obtained by reaction between the studied metal ions with similar acids (lutidinic acid (pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid) and isocinchomeronic acid (pyridine-2,5-di-carboxylic acid) is discussed in terms of the position of the carboxyl group far from the aza group. The thermal stability of the metal complexes is in the order Mn(II) > Fe(II) > Zn(II) ? Co(II) > Ni(II) > Cu(II).     

Thermal studies on cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) ternary complexes of N-(2-acetamido) iminodiacetic acid and imidazoles

The thermal decomposition of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes has been studied using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential TG (DTG). The complexes have been characterized by IR spectroscopy. The results reveal that the decomposition of these complexes is accompanied by the formation of metal acetate as an intermediate fragments. On the basis of the applicability of a non-isothermal kinetic equations, it was demonstrated that the stability of the complexes follows the order Co(II)>Cu(II)>Ni(II). These stably correspond to the strength of chelation between the metal ions and the primary and secondary ligands. A possible mechanism of the thermal decomposition of the complexes is suggested.     

Synthesis,Spectral, Characterization,and Anticancer Activity of Some Binary and Mixed Ligand Complexes of 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone Thiosemicarbazone and Some Amino Acids

The Schiff base ligand 4-methyl-2-pentanone thiosemicarbazone (MPTSC) (HL) has been synthesized by the interaction of 4-methyl-2-pentanone (MP) and thiosemicarbazone (TSC). The Ni(II), Cu(II), and Fe(III) binary complexes of this ligand have been prepared. The ternary complexes of VO(IV) and Mn(II) ions with HL and glutamine (Glu) as a secondary ligand, in addition to VO(IV), Mn(II), and La(III) with HL and glycine (Gly) as a secondary ligand, have also been synthesized. The binary and ternary complexes have been characterized based on elemental analysis, IR, UV-VIS, molar conductance, mass spectra, magnetic moment, and ESR measurements. The magnetic moment, UV, and ESR studies suggest that Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes are square planar, whereas Fe(III), Mn(II), and La(III) complexes have octahedral geometry, but VO(IV) ternary complexes have square pyramidal geometry. The analytical data indicate that the metal-to-ligand ratio in binary complexes is 1:1, except HL-Cu(II) chloride complex where the metal-to-ligand to secondary ligand ratio in ternary complexes is 1:1:1. The anticancer studies showed that the anticancer activity is in the decreasing order: ternary complexes > binary complexes > free ligand (HL).

Formation of 1 D and 3 D coordination polymers in the solid state induced by mechanochemical and annealing treatments: bis(3-cyano-pentane-2,4-dionato) metal complexes

Bis(3-cyano-pentane-2,4-dionato) (CNacac) metal complex, [M(CNacac)(2)], which acts as both a metal-ion-like and a ligand-like building unit, forms supramolecular structures by self-assembly. Co-grinding of the metal acetates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with CNacacH formed a CNacac complex in all cases: mononuclear complex was formed in the cases of Mn(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), whereas polymeric ones were formed in the cases of Fe(II), Co(II) and Ni(II). Subsequent annealing converted the mononuclear complexes of Mn(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) to their corresponding polymers as a result of dehydration of the mononuclear complexes. The resultant Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) polymeric complexes had a common 3 D structure with high thermal stability. In the case of Cu(II), a 1 D polymer was obtained. The Mn(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) polymeric complexes returned to their original mononuclear complexes on exposure to water vapour but they reverted to the polymeric complexes by re-annealing. Co-grinding of metal chlorides with CNacacH and annealing of the mononuclear CNacac complexes prepared from solution reactions were also examined for comparison. [Mn(CNacac)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], [M(CNacac)(2)(H(2)O)] (M=Cu(II) and Zn(II)) and [M(CNacac)(2)](infinity) (M=Mn(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II)) are new compounds, which clearly indicated the power of the combined mechanochemical/annealing method for the synthesis of varied metal coordination complexes.     

Thermal decomposition reactions of metal carboxylato complexes in the solid state. I.: Thermographic and differential thermal studies of metal oxalato,malonato and succinato complexes

Thermal investigation of metal carboxylato complexes of the first transition metals, Mn(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) and non-transition metals like Zn(II) and Cd(II) in the solid state has been carried out under non-isothermal conditions in nitrogen atmosphere by simultaneous TG and DTA. TG and DTA curves inferred that the thermal stability of the complex decreased approximately with the increase of the standard potential of the central metal ion. The thermal parameters like activation energy, E_a, enthalpy change, ΔH, and entropy change, ΔS, corresponding to the dehydration and decomposition of the complexes are determined from TG and DTA curves by standard methods. A linear correlation is found between ΔH and ΔS and E_a and ΔS in dehydration and decomposition processes. DTA curves show an irreversible phase transition for Na₂Mn(mal)₂], Na₂[Cu(mal)₂] and Na₂,[Co(suc)₂] complexes. The residual products in these decomposition processes being a mixture of two oxides, of oxide and carbonate or a mixture of two carbonates.

Synthesis,thermal degradation,and kinetic parameters studies of some coordination polymers

This article describes synthesis and route of thermal degradation and studies of kinetic parameters of some coordination polymers of first transition series metal ions viz. Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II). The newly synthesized ligand and its coordination polymers have been characterized by various instrumental techniques. The thermal degradation studies have been studied at different heating rates to determine the apparent activation energy, order of reaction, entropy change, free energy change, apparent entropy change, and frequency factor using Sharp–Wentworth and Freeman–Carroll methods. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) has been used to determine the thermal stability of coordination polymers. The decomposition temperatures of the polymers were defined by half decomposition curve technique.     

Synthesis and characterization of 3-methyl-5-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1-H-pyrazole-4-carbothioamide and its metal complexes

The molecular parameters have been calculated to confirm the geometry of 3-methyl-5-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1-H-pyrazole-4-carbothioamide, HL. The compound is introduced as a new chelating agent for complexation with Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions. The isolated chelates were characterized by partial elemental analyses, magnetic moments, spectra (IR, UV–vis, ESR; ¹H NMR) and thermal studies. The protonation constant of HL (5.04) and the stepwise stability constants of its Co(II), Cu(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes were calculated. The ligand coordinates as a monobasic bidentate through hydroxo and thiol groups in all complexes except Cr(III) which acts as a monobasic monodentate through the enolized carbonyl oxygen. Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes measured normal magnetic moments; Cu(II) and Co(II) measured subnormal while Ni(II) complex is diamagnetic. The data confirm a high spin and low spin octahedral structures for the Fe(III) and Co(II) complexes. The ESR spectrum of the Cu(II) complex support the binuclear structure. The molecular parameters have also been calculated for the Cu(II) and Fe(III) complexes. The thermal decomposition stages of the complexes confirm the MS to be the residual part. Also, the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were calculated for some decomposition steps.
