The stability constants of 2, 2-bis-hydroxymethyl-propionates of rare earths have been determined at ionic strength 0,100 (NaClO₄) at 25.0°C by a potentiometric method. The ligand forms 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complexes with all the rare earths and weak 1 : 3 complexes with light rare earths only. In these last complexes, it binds in a unidentate way. The dissociation constant of the acid has also been measured.     

Stabilité des carboxylates de terres,III. Maléates,méthylsuccinates et malates

The stability constants of maleates, methylsuccinates and malates of rare earths have been determined at 25.0 °C and at ionic strength 0,100 (NaClO₄) by a potentiometric method. Each ligand forms 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complexes in aqueous solution, the malates being the most stable. The first and the second dissociation constants of the ligand acids were also measured. The 1 : 2 maleates of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, and Eu have been isolated.     

Détermination de constantes de stabilité de chélates par résonance magnétique nucléaire du proton

In a solution containing an excess of two metal ions in regard to a ligand (e.g. NTA) a competitive equilibrium is established. The measure, by proton NMR. spectroscopy, of the individual concentrations of both chelates, and eventually of the free ligand, allows to determine the ratio of the stability constants of the two complexes. As an illustration the ratios of the stability constant of the 1:1 nitrilotriacetate chelates of Pb and Zn, respectively Mo and W, were determined.

¹H—NMR. has been used to study the chemistry of the hydroxyethyliminodiacetate complexes of praseodymium in aqueous solution. The ligand exchanges by spontaneous dissociation of the metal-bis-hydroxyethyliminodiacetate (1:2 complex) and of the metal-bis-hydroxyethyliminodiacetate hydroxocomplex, by acid catalysed dissociation of the 1:2 complex, and by a bimolecular process involving the free ligand and the 1:2 complex or the ternary hydroxo-complex. The ligand exchange rate constants are given and the mechanisms discussed.     

Effets stéréosélectifs dans les réactions des complexes métalliques. I. Stéréosélectivité de la réaction de l'anion D-N-(hydroxy-2-éthyl)-propylènediaminetriacétatoferrate (III) avec quelques dérivés d'acides aminés

A chromatographic method for studying small effects of ligand stereoselectivity in the formation of labile metal complexes has been developed. It is shown that unidentate ligands can react stereospecifically with labile optically active metal complexes. An anion-exchanger charged with an optically active form of Fe^III-N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-propylenediamine triacetate is used as a support in chromatography of N-acylated amino acids, and differences in retentions have been measured by elution and by frontal analysis.     

Stabilité en solution aqueuse de complexes de métaux lourds avec des ligands diaza-polyoxamacrocycliques

Stability in aqueous solution of some complexes of heavy metals with diaza-polyoxamacrocyclic ligands Stability of metal complexes (Mⁿ⁺ = Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ag⁺ and Cd²⁺) with five diaza-polyoxamacrocycles (L = [2.1.1], [2.2.1], [2.2.2], [2.1] and [2.2] ) have been determined at 25°, in 0.1 M Et₄N⁺ClO aqueous solutions, by means of potentiometric titrations. All cations form MLⁿ⁺ complexes; Cu²⁺ also forms the MHL⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺ protonated species with both [2.2.1] and [2.1.1] ligands. The stability of these complexes has been discussed in terms of structure and by considering the ionic radii of the cations together with the radii of the macrocyclic cavities. Different behaviour is observed between some of these complexes and the well known alkali and alkaline-earth cryptates, partly due to the more covalent nature of bonds formed by the investigated cations and the donor sites of the ligands. The effect of the substitution of two oxygen by two sulfur atoms in the pentadentate ligand [2.1] on the stability of the complexes is reported.     

Preparation and crystal structures of a series of titanium(III) 9-BBN hydroborate complexes containing Ti...H agostic interactions

9-BBN hydroborate complexes Ti{(mu-H)2BC8H14}3(THF)2 (1), Ti{(mu-H)2BC8H14}3(OEt2) (2), and [K(OEt2)4]-[Ti{(mu-H)2BC8H14}4] (4) were formed from the reaction of TiCl4 with K[H2BC8H14] in diethyl ether or THF. Ti{(mu-H)2BC8H14}3(PhNH2) (3) was isolated from the reaction of 2 with aniline in diethyl ether. In the formation of these complexes, Ti(IV) is reduced to Ti(III). The coordinated diethyl ether in 2 can be displaced by the stronger bases THF and aniline, to form 1 and 3, respectively. All of the compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In complex 1, which contains two coordinated THF ligands, the titanium possesses a 17 electron configuration and there is no evidence for agostic interaction. Complexes 2 and 3 contain only one coordinated ether or aniline ligand, and the titanium possesses a 15 electron configuration. In these compounds, a C-H hydrogen on an alpha carbon on the BC8H14 unit of a 9-BBN hydroborate ligand forms an agostic interaction with the titanium. Criteria for assessing the existence of agostic interactions are discussed. As the potassium salt, the anion of complex 4 is more stable than the complexes 1-3. Organometallic anions of the type [ML4]- for titanium(III) are rare.

Etude par RMN. de polyaminocarboxylates de terres rares,II. Nitrilotriacétates de scandium,yttrium, lanthane et lutécium

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance has been used to study the chemistry of the diamagnetic nitrilotriacetate complexes of scandium, yttrium, lanthanum and lutecium in aqueous solution. Complexes with ligand-to-metal ratios of 1 and 2 are present depending of the solution conditions. The ligand exchanges by spontaneous and by acid catalysed dissociation of the metal-bis-nitrilotriacetate, and also by a bimolecular process involving the free ligand and the complex. The ligand exchange rate constants decrease with the ionic radii:lanthanum > yttrium > lutecium > scandium.     

Synthesis,Spectral, Thermal and Biological Studies of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) Complexes with 1‐(((5‐Mercapto‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl)imino)‐methyl)naphthalene‐2‐ol

Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 5‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐imine‐2′‐hydroxynaphthaline have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, EI‐mass, UV‐Vis, and ESR (electron spin resonance) spectra, molar conductance, magnetic moment measurements, DC conductivity and thermogravimetric analysis. IR spectra confirm that the ligand molecule existed in both thione and thiole forms. The molar conductance values indicate the complexes are nonelectrolyte. The magnetic moment values of the complexes display paramagnetic behavior. All studies confirm the formation of an octahedral geometry for complex 1 and the other complexes have tetrahedral geometrical structures. The structures of the complexes have also been theoretically studied by using the molecular mechanic calculations by the hyperchem. 8.03 molecular modeling program which confirm the proposed structures. The Schiff‐base ligand and its metal complexes have also been screened for their antimicrobial activities.     

Palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of bidentate 2-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole “click” ligands: Synthesis,properties and X-ray structures

The synthesis and characterization of palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of isomeric bidentate 2-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole “click” ligands is reported. The complexes have been fully characterized by elemental analysis, HRESI-MS, IR, UV–Vis, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, the molecular structures of the Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes of the 2-[(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl]pyridine ligand are confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Solution studies indicate the 2-(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine ligand forms more stable complexes with Pd(II) and Pt(II) than the isomeric 2-[(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl]pyridine ligand.     

Stabilité des carboxylates de terres rares I Furanne- et thiophène-carboxylates-2

The stability constants of 2-furanecarboxylates and 2-thiophencarboxylates of some rare earths have been determined at ionic strength 0.100 (NaClO₄) at 25.0°C by a potentiometric method. The ligands form 1 : 1 complexes similar to the rare earths propionates.     

Coordination complexes of 2‐thienyl‐ and 2‐furyl‐mercurials

The reactions of di(2‐thienyl)mercury, 2‐thienylmercury chloride and 2‐furylmercury chloride with a variety of nitrogen‐ and phosphorus‐containing ligands have been studied. The presence of the electron‐withdrawing heteroatoms results in these mercurials being stronger acceptors than the corresponding phenylmercury compounds. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, melting points, infrared, and ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR spectroscopy. 2,9‐Dimethyl‐ and 3,4,7,8‐tetramethyl‐phenanthroline form 1:1 chelate complexes, as does 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, whereas ethylenediamine and 2,2′‐bipyridyl do not form complexes. Though non‐chelating ligands such as 2,4′‐ and 4,4′‐bipyridyl do not form complexes, bis(diphenylphosphino)methane forms 1:2 complexes in which the ligand bridges two mercury atoms. Monodentate ligands, such as triphenylphosphine, cause disproportionation of the organomercury chloride. 2‐Thienylmercury chloride forms a 4:1 complex with 4,4′‐dipyridyl disulfide in which it is believed that a molecule of the organomercurial is coordinated to both of the nitrogen and both of the sulfur atoms.

Structural characterization,thermal investigation and biological activity of metal complexes containing Schiff Base ligand (Z)‐3‐(1‐((4,6‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b] pyridin‐3‐yl)imino)ethyl)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2H‐pyran‐2‐one

A new series of metal complexes containing Co(II), Pd(II), Fe(III) chloride and Cu(II) salts (chloride, bromide, sulphate and perchlorate) have been prepared with Schiff base ligand ( HL ). The synthesized compounds were elucidated using elemental analyses, spectral techniques, molar conductance, magnetic measurements and thermogravimetric studies. The analytical data established (1 M:1 L) stoichiometry for complexes ( 1 ), ( 2 ), ( 4 ), ( 6 ) and ( 7 ) as well as (1 M:2 L) and (2 M:3 L) stoichiometry for complexes ( 5 ) and ( 3 ), respectively. As a result, the ligand HL coordinates in complexes ( 1 ), ( 2 ), ( 4 ), ( 6 ) as a monobasic tridentate ONN moiety via the oxygen atom of the deprotonated phenolic OH, the nitrogen atoms of the azomethine and the imine group in pyrazolopyridine ring. While, it behaves as a neutral bidentate in complexes ( 3 , 7 ), chelates via oxygen and nitrogen atoms of enolic OH and azomethine groups. Also, in complex ( 5 ) Cu²⁺ ion binds via NO sits of two ligand molecules in its monobasic and neutral forms. The magnetic moment and electronic spectral data proposed octahedral structure for complexes ( 2 , 3 and 7 ) as well as triagonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal geometry for complexes ( 1 and 4 ), while, chelates ( 5 ) and ( 6 ) possess square planar geometry. TG/DTG studies confirmed the chemical formula for these complexes and established the thermal decomposition processes ended with the formation of metal or metal oxides contaminated with carbon residue. An axial electron spin resonance spectra were suggested for Cu(II) complexes pointing to ²B_1g as a ground state with hyperfine structure for complex ( 4 ). In vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activities were performed for HL ligand and its metal complexes. The biological studies indicate that complex ( 3 ) has better antibacterial activity compared to the ligand and the other complexes.     

Nature et stabilité des complexes métalliques de cryptands dinucléants en solution II. Polythiamacrotricycles et monocycles apparentés

Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution II. Polythiamacrotricycles and Related Monocyclic Subunits The stability constants of the Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ complexes of the cylindrical macrotricycle 1a (1,7,13,19-tetraaza 4,16-dioxa 10,22,27,32-tetrathiatricyclo[17.5.5.5]tetratriacontane) have been determined by pH-metry, as well as those of the Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Ag⁺ complexes of the monocyclic subunit 2a (1,7-dimethyl-1,7-diaza 4,10-dithiacyclododecane), in aqueous solutions (NaClO₄) at 25°. In the Cu(II) systems, equilibria were reached slowly, and the results established by pH-metry were confirmed by UV/VIS spectrophotometric studies. The tricycle 1a forms dinuclear cryptates with copper and silver, with overall stability constants log β₂₁₀ (Cu₂- 1a )⁴⁺ = 18.5, log β_21-2 (Cu₂- 1a (OH)₂)²⁺ = 4.8, log β₂₁₀(Ag₂- 1a )²⁺ = 23.0. Ag⁺ also forms a mononuclear (Ag- 1a )⁺ complex, with log β₁₁₀ = 13.1, but no mononuclear species were detected in the Cu- 1a system. The absorption spectra of the bis-Cu(II) complexes of 1a and 2a in aqueous medium, MeOH and propylene carbonate (PC) are given, as well as those, in MeOH and PC, of the bis-copper complexes of the related monocycles 3 and 4 (1,7-diaza-4,10,13-trithiacyclopentadecane and 1.10-diaza 4,7,13,16-tetrathiacyclooctadecane, respectively), and tricycle 5 with two benzyl groups in the lateral chains. The complexing properties of the polyoxa- and polythia macrotricycles (Parts I and II of this series) are compared to those of other bis-chelating ligands, the bicyclic bis-tren and the monocyclic bis-dien.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Fluorescent and Antioxidation Properties of Cerium(III) and Europium(III) Complexes with Bis(3‐methoxysalicylidene)‐3‐oxapentane‐1,5‐diamine

Two aliphatic ether Schiff base lanthanide complexes (Ln = Eu, Ce) with bis(3‐methoxysalicylidene)‐3‐oxapentane‐1,5‐diamine (Bod), were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. [Eu(Bod)(NO₃)₃] ( 1 ) is a discrete mononuclear species and [Ce(Bod)(NO₃)₃DMF]_∞ ( 2 ) exhibits an inorganic coordination polymer. In the two complexes, the metal ions both are ten‐coordinated and the geometric structure around the Ln^III atom can be described as distorted hexadecahedron. Under excitation at room temperature, the red shift in the fluorescence band of the ligand in the complexes compared with that of the free ligand can be attributed to coordination of the rare earth ions to the ligand. Moreover, the antioxidant activities of the two complexes were investigated. The results demonstrated that the complexes have better scavenging activity than both the ligand and the usual antioxidants on the hydroxyl and superoxide radicals.     

Synthesis,Characterization, Crystal Structure,and Biological Activities of Transition Metal Complexes with 1‐Phenyl‐3‐methyl‐5‐hydroxypyrazole‐4‐methylene‐8′‐quinolineimine

The Schiff base ligand, 1‐phenyl‐3‐methyl‐5‐hydroxypyrazole‐4‐methylene‐8′‐quinolineimine, and its Cu^II, Zn^II, and Ni^II complexes were synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of the Zn^II complex was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, indicating that the metal ions and Schiff base ligand can form mononuclear six‐coordination complexes with 1:1 metal‐to‐ligand stoichiometry at the metal ions as centers. The binding mechanism and affinity of the ligand and its metal complexes to calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence titration spectroscopy, EB displacement experiments, and viscosity measurements, indicating that the free ligand and its metal complexes can bind to DNA via an intercalation mode with the binding constants at the order of magnitude of 105–106 M ^–1, and the metal complexes can bind to DNA more strongly than the free ligand alone. In addition, antioxidant activities of the ligand and its metal complexes were investigated through scavenging effects for hydroxyl radical in vitro, indicating that the compounds show stronger antioxidant activities than some standard antioxidants, such as mannitol. The ligand and its metal complexes were subjected to cytotoxic tests, and experimental results indicated that the metal complexes show significant cytotoxic activity against lung cancer A 549 cells.     

Synthesis and characterization of mononuclear cadmium(II) and dinuclear uranyl(VI) complexes with <Emphasis Type="Italic">vic</Emphasis>-dioximes

In this study, the mononuclear complexes of cadmium(II) and dinuclear complexes of uranyl(VI) with five vic-dioximes have been obtained. Cadmium(II) forms, with ligands, complexes [(L ^xH)(Cl)(H₂O)(Cd)] with x=1–5. Mononuclear complexes with a metal: ligand ratio of 1:1 were obtained for cadmium(II) with the ligands, and a chloride ion and a water molecule are also coordinated to the cadmium(II) ions. Uranyl(VI) complexes of these ligands are a dinuclear structure with μ-hydroxo-bridges. Uranyl(VI) forms, with ligands, complexes [(L^xH)₂(OH)₂(UO₂)₂] with x=1–5, which have a 2:2 metal:ligand ratio. The structures of the complexes were identified by elemental analysis, i.r., and ¹H-n.m.r. spectra, u.v.–vis. spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements, conductivity measurements and thermogravimetric analysis (t.g.a.).     

Thorium(IV) and uranium(VI) complexes with some heterocyclic azo dyes in absolute ethanol

Thorium(IV) and uranium(VI) chelate complexes with PAN, PAR, TAN and TAR have been studied in absolute ethanol. The uranyl ion forms complexes with PAN, PAR, TAN and TAR in the metal to ligand molar ratio of 1:1. Thorium(IV) forms complexes with PAR, TAR and TAN in the molar ratio of 1:2. In case of Th(IV)-PAN complexes the molar ratio is 1:2.4. The stability constants for all the above complexes have been worked out using the mole ratio method. The kinetics of aquation of Th(IV)-PAN complexes indicate that PAN acts as a tridentate ligand.

2,6-Diphenylpyridine forms, as twofold-deprotonated, terdentate ligand, complexes with Pt(II) and Pd(II), having two adjacent five-membered metallocycles. As mono-deprotonated, bidentate ligand, it forms cis-bis-complexes having a chirality axis. Pt(II) complexes undergo thermal and photochemical oxidative addition reactions, yielding stable Pt(IV) compounds. Pd(II) complexes yield substitued 2,6-diphenylpyridine in photochemical reactions.
