Transition metall complexes of amidinourea and related ligands. II. Tetrahedral Cobalt(II) Complexes with O-propyl-1-amidinoureas

New cobalt(II) complexes of the formula [Co(AA)₂]X₂ (where AA = O-n-propyl-1-amidinourea and O-iso-propylamidinourea, X = Cl or Br) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectra. The complexes are all violet in colour and posses magnetic moments in the range 4.4–4.5 BM. Electronic spectral and magnetic data identify the complexes as tetrahedral ones. Tetrahedral complexes can only be prepared with O-alkyl-1-amidinoureas containing higher alkyl groups. The electronic spectral data indicate the strong field character of these ligands.     

Mono- and poly-nuclear nickel(II) complexes with nitrite and potentially bidentate amines as ligands

Summary Two new series of polynuclear complexes with potentially chelating amine and nitrite as ligands have been synthesized from octahedral dinitritobis(diamine)nickel(II) complexes (diamine = en, pn, tn or chxn). These complexes have been characterized by chemical analysis, electronic and i.r. spectra and magnetic measurements down to nitrogen liquid temperature. An x-ray structural investigation shows one of the starting materials, [Ni(tn)₂(NO₂)₂] to contain NO ₂ ^– groups coordinatedvia N(nitro complexes). One of the series of formula [Ni₅(diamine)₄(NO₂)₈(OH)₂], is pentanuclear, analogous to the en complex, whose structure is known. Another series is the polymeric Ni(amine)₂(NO₂)X, also an analogue of the en derivative. In the first series, the formation and isolation of the pentanuclear species has been achieved with en, tn, pn and chxn, but in the second series, only polynuclear complexes with en, tn and pn, were obtained. No product could be isolated for the more bulky chxn.     

Octahedral Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes of Schiff bases,semicarbazone and thiosemicarbazone,synthesis, biological,spectral, and thermal studies

A new series of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes, [M(ligand)(H₂O)₂(Y)] (M = Co(II) or Ni(II); Y = Cl^?, Br^? or NO₃ ^?), containing the Schiff-base semicarbazone and thiosemicarbazone, HL¹ and HL², formed from 4-hydroxycoumarin-3-carbaldehyde have been synthesized. The nature of bonding and the stereochemistry of the complexes have been deduced from elemental analyses, infrared, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility, and conductivity measurements. An octahedral geometry has been suggested for the complexes. The metal complexes were screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities on different species of pathogenic fungi and bacteria and their biopotency has been discussed.     

Studies on mixed ligand complexes,part III. Cobalt(III) heterochelates derived fromN,N′-tetramethylenebis(salicylideneimine),N,N′-ethylenebis(acetylacetoneimine) and bidentate OO and ON donor ligands

Summary The hydroxoaquo complex, Co(OH)(H₂O)(salbn) [salbnH₂ =N,N-tetramethylcnebis(salicylideneimine)] reacts with bidentate OO and ON donor ligands in ethanol at 100° to give hetcrochelate complexes of the type Co(AA)(salbn) (where AA = bidentate monobasic ligands such as picolinic acid, acetylacetone, tropolone,N-benzoylphenylhydroxyl-amine, acetoacetanilide, salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-l-naphthaldehyde). Thecis-diammineN,N-ethylenebis(acetyl-acetoneimine)cobalt(lll)chloride reacts with bidentate ligands such as tropolonc to form the heterochelate complex Co(tropolone)(baen) [where baenH₂ =N,N-ethylenebis(acetyl-acetoneimine)]. These newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, i.r. and electronic spectroscopy, molecular weight, electrolytic conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Electronic spectra suggest that Co(tropolo ne)(baen) reacts with pyridine.     

Studies on mixed ligand complexes,part 5. Heterochelate complexes of cobalt(III) derived from the quadridentate NNNN donor ligand triethylenetetramine and bidentate OO,ON and NN donor ligands

Summary A series of new cobalt(III) complexes of general formula [Co(AA)(trien)]X_n (where AA = tropolone, acetoacetanilide, ethylacetoacetate, biguanide, 2-guanidinobenzimidazole, propylenediamine, picolylamine, 2,2-dipyridyl, 3-aminopyridine, picolinic acid and quinaldinic acid, trien = triethylenetetramine, X=Cl^–, Br^–, I^– and n=2–3) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and i.r. spectra, equivalent weight, conductance and magnetic measurements. The electronic spectra of the complexes exhibit one or two ligand field bands atca. 20000 and 29000 cm^–1 due to the¹ A _1g ¹ T _1g and¹ A _1g ¹ T _2g transitions respectively. Conductance measurements indicate the triunivalent nature of [Co(tropolone)(trien)]I₃, [Co(picolylamine)(trien)]I₃, [Co(3-aminopyridine)(trien)]I₃, [Co(2,2-dipyridyl)(trien)]Cl₃, [Co(biguanide)(trien)]I₃, [Co(propylenediamine)(trien)]I₃ and biunivalent nature of [Co(picolinate)(trien)]Cl₂, [Co(quinaldinate)(trien)]Cl₂, [Co(acetoacetanilido)(trien)]Cl₂, and [Co(ethylacetoacetato)(trien)]I₂. Equivalent weight determination by the ion-exchange resin (H⁺ form) method gives the values of molecular weights which are consistent with the theory. The complexes are diamagnetic.     

N-acetyl-DL-leucinate cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes

Summary Complexes of the type M(AcLeu)₂ · B₂ (M = Co^II, Ni^II or Zn^II; B = H₂O, py, 3-pic, 4-pic; AcLeu =N-acetyl-DL-leucinate ion) and M(AcLeu)₂ B (M = Co^II or Zn^II and B = o-phen) were prepared and investigated by means of magnetic and spectroscopic measurements. The i.r. spectra of all the complexes are consistent with bidentate coordination of the amino acid to the metal ion. The room temperature solid state electronic spectra indicate that the symmetry of this species is closer toD _4h and that MO₆ and MO₄N₂ chromophores are present in the M(AcLeu)₂ · 2 H₂O and M(AcLeu)₂B_n · x H₂O (B = py, 3-pic, 4-pic, n=2 and x=0 for M = Ni^II; B = o-phen, n=1 and x=0 for M = Co^II; B = py, 3-pic, 4-pic, n=1 and x=1 for M = Co^II) complexes, respectively. By comparing the Dq values of the amino acid and those of other N-substituted amino acids previously studied, a spectrochemical series of the the cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes is proposed. The¹ H n.m.r. spectra of the zinc(II) complexes confirm the proposed stereochemistry.     

Copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of oxaldihydrazide and succindihydrazide Schiff bases with salicylaldehyde ando-hydroxyacetophenone

Summary Polymeric copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of the type M₂L where M = Cu^II, Ni^II or Co^II and H₄L = disalicylaldimine oxamide (H₄A), di(o-hydroxyacetophenoneimine)oxamide (H₄B), disalicylaldimine succinamide (H₄C) or di(o-hydroxyacetophenoneimine)succinamide (H₄D), have been synthesized and characterized by analysis, i.r. and electronic spectra and magnetic moment data. Copper(II) complexes and some of the nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes are planar while other nickel(II) complexes are distorted octahedral and other cobalt(H) complexes are square pyramidal. Anomalously low magnetic moments of some complexes have been related to M-M interactionsvia oxo-bridge structures.     

Synthesis,characterization, antibacterial,and thermal studies of unsymmetrical Schiff-base complexes of cobalt(II)

Cobalt(II) complexes of a new series of unsymmetrical Schiff bases have been synthesized and characterized by their elemental analyses, melting points, magnetic susceptibility, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared (IR), and electronic spectral measurements. The purity of the ligands and the metal complexes are confirmed by microanalysis, while the unsymmetrical nature of the ligands was further corroborated by ¹H-NMR. Comparison of the IR spectra of the Schiff bases and their metal complexes confirm that the Schiff bases are tetradentate and coordinated via N₂O₂ chromophore. The magnetic moments and electronic spectral data support square-planar geometry for the cobalt(II) complexes. The complexes were thermally stable to 372.3°C and their thermal decomposition was generally via the partial loss of the organic moiety. The Schiff bases and their complexes were screened for in vitro antibacterial activities against 10 human pathogenic bacteria and their minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined. Both the free ligands and cobalt(II) complexes exhibit antibacterial activities against some strains of the microorganisms, which in a number of cases were comparable with, or higher than, that of chloramphenicol.     

Axial ligation of imidazole to cobalt(III) oximes

Summary Non-homoleptic, octahedral cobalt(III) complexes are formed by the aerial oxidation of cobalt(II) salts in the presence of either (anti)-furfuraldoxime (HL¹) or salicylaldoxime (HL²) and imidazole. The analytical data, electrical conductance, electronic, vibrational and n.m.r. (¹H and¹³C) spectra as well as magnetic susceptibility and thermal decomposition measurements have been employed to deduce the stoichiometry and stereochemistry of the complexes. The oximes are bonded as bidentate chelates occupying the planar positions and the complexes havetrans-octahedral geometry with the imidazole and an anion in the axial positions. The thermogravimetric analysis of the complexes indicate their thermal stability at ambient temperatures, and with the increase in temperature they lose the ligands in discrete steps forming polymeric intermediates, and Co₃O₄ as the ultimate end product above 500°C.     

Synthesis and characterization of complexes of lanthanide nitrates with N,N′-dinaphthyl-N,N′-diphenyl-3,6-dioxaoctanediamide

Solid complexes of lighter lanthanide nitrates with N,N′-dinaphthyl-N,N′-diphenyl-3,6-dioxaoctanediamide (DDD), Ln(NO₃)₃(DDD) (Ln = La---Nd, Sm) have been prepared in non-aqueous media. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, IR spectra, electronic spectra and TG-DTA techniques. In all the complexes, DDD and NO₃⁻ are coordinated to the lanthanide ions as tetradentate and bidentate ligands, respectively. The differences in the IR and electronic spectra between these complexes and lanthanide nitrate complexes with N,N,N′,N′-tetraphenyl-3,6-dioxaoctanediamide (TDD) are discussed.     

Dichloro and amino acid cobalt(III) complexes of N,N′-diethylethylenediamine-N,N′-Di-α-butyrate ligand

A novel linear flexible ONNO-type tetradentate ligand, N,N′-diethylethylenediamine-N,N′-di-α-butyrate (deedba), and the dichloro, diaqua and amino acid (glycine, -alanine, -phenylalanine) cobalt(III) complexes of deedba have been synthesized via an H₂O₂ oxidation method. During the preparation of these complexes, the ligand has coordinated geospecifically to the cobalt(III) ion to give only one isomer, s-cis, which has been characterized by electronic absorption, ¹H NMR and IR spectra, and elemental analysis. It is of interest that this is one of the few Co^III(edda)X₂-type complex preparations, which gives only one isomer with geoselectivity.     

Dinuclear trivalent chromium,manganese, iron and cobalt complexes bridged by aromatic diamines

Summary Trivalent chromium, manganese, iron and cobalt salts react withm-phenylenediamine and acetylacetone to give complexes of the type [M(C₁₆H₁₈N₂O₂)X]: X = Cl, Br, NO₃ or NCS for M = chromium(III) and iron(III); X = Cl, Br, OAc or NCS for manganese(III); and X = OH for cobalt(III). Conductance measurements show the complexes to be nonelectrolytes. Molecular weights determined cryoscopically, show the iron complexes to be dinuclear. Magnetic measurements above 85 K reveal the presence of slight antiferromagnetic interactions. The complexes are dimeric five-coordinate square-pyramidal withm-phenylenediamine residues acting as bridges. The electronic spectra are interpreted in terms of the Normalised Spherical Harmonic Hamiltonian Theory and the DT/DQ values which indicate that chromium complexes are slightly distorted, whereas those of manganese are severely distorted.

All the complexes are covalent and apparently have an octahedral geometry. The ligands are monocoordinated through the pyrrole nitrogen. From the far i.r. spectra amer configuration has been assigned to the indazole and 5-nitroindazole complexes.     

Spectral and magnetic studies on normal cobalt(II) planar and cobalt(III) octahedral, spin-crossover cobalt(III) octahedral and planar-tetrahedral cobalt(II) carbodithioates

Five cobalt(II) complexes, a normal complex Co(4-PPipzcdt)₂ (4-PPipzcdt = 4-phenylpiperazine-1-carbodithioate), and four zwitterionic complexes, Co(4-PPipzcdtH)₂X₂ and Co(4-MPipzcdtH)₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br; 4-PPipzcdtH = 4-phenylpiperazine-1-carbodithioic acid, 4-MPipzcdtH = 4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioic acid), have been synthesized. Normal cobalt(III) complexes of the type Co(4-MPipzcdt)₃ and Co₂ {2-MPipz(cdt)₂}₃ (2-MPipz(cdt)₂ = 2-methylpiperazine-1,4-dicarbodithioate) and two zwitterionic cobalt(III) complexes of the type Co(4-MPipzcdtH)₃X₃ (X = Cl, Br) have also been obtained. In addition to the room temperature IR and electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility studies, all the complexes, except the normal Co(4-MPipzcdt)₃ and Co(4-PPipzcdt)₂ and zwitterionic Co(4-MPipzcdtH)₃Cl₃, have been investigated by variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. The results of the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies suggest that two cobalt(II) carbodithioates exhibit a square planar-tetrahedral equilibrium, while two cobalt(III) octahedral carbodithioates show a spin-crossover phenomenon.     

Iron(II), cobalt(III), nickel(II) and copper(II) chelates of furan and thiophene azo-oximes

Summary Complexes of furan and thiophene azo-oximes with iron(II), cobalt(III), nickel(II) and copper(II) have been prepared and characterised. Iron(II), cobalt(III) and copper(II) complexes are diamagnetic in the solid state. The diamagnetism of the copper(II) chelates is suggestive of antiferromagnetic interaction between two copper centres.¹H n.m.r. spectral data suggest atrans-octahedral geometry for the tris-chelates of cobalt(III). Nickel(II) complexes are paramagnetic, in contrast to the diamagnetism of the analogous complexes of arylazooximes. The electronic spectra are suggestive of octahedral geometry for the iron(II), cobalt(III) and nickel(II) complexes, andD _4h -symmetry for copper(II). Infrared data indicate N-bonding of the oximino-group to the metal ions.

The biological activities of the metal complexes have been tested in vitro against a number of pathogenic bacteria to assess their inhibiting potential. Most of the compounds have been found to exhibit remarkable antibacterial activities.     

Synthesis, spectral, thermal and biological studies of Co(III) and binuclear Ni(II) complexes with a novel amine-imine-oxime ligand

Two different metal complexes of [Co(HL)(L)(Ac)₂]·4H₂O (I) and [Ni₂(L)₂(Ac)₂]·4H₂O (II), have been synthesized with newly prepared amine-imine-oxime ligand [HL = 3-(4′-aminobiphenyl-4-ylimino)-butan-2-one oxime, Ac = CH₃COO⁻]. This ligand HL was prepared by the condensation of diacetylmonoxime with benzidine. The structure of the ligand and complexes have been proposed by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass spectra, molar conductivity and thermo gravimetric analysis. The molar conductance measurements of the complexes in DMF solution correspond to non electrolytic nature for the complexes. Octahedral and tetrahedral geometries have been determined to the complexes of Co(III) and binuclear Ni(II) respectively. The ligand and its metal complexes were tested in vitro for their biological effects. Their activities against two gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and one fungal specie (Candida albicans) were found. They were inactive against tested gram negative bacteria. The text was submitted by authors in English.
