Syntheses and structural characterizations of a new benzyl(4-methoxyphenyl)dithiophosphinic acid and its Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Ni–pyridine complexes

Benzyl(4-methoxyphenyl)dithiophosphinic acid (HL) was obtained as solid and was treated with the NiCl₂6H₂O, CoCl₂6H₂O, ZnCl_2, and CdCl₂ to prepare its Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) complexes. The nickel complex was further treated with pyridine which led to the formation of octahedral dipyridine derivative. HL was obtained through the addition reaction of the perthiophosphonic acid anhydride Lawesson reagent, (LR), [2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulfide], with the corresponding Grignard compound (benzylmagnesium bromide) in diethyl ether medium.

The complexes were all of the stoichiometry of [M(L)₂]_x, with x = 1 for M = Ni²⁺ and x = 2 for M = Co²⁺, Cd²⁺ and Zn²⁺. The coordination geometry was square planar in the nickel(II) complex and tetrahedral in the others. Similar to many other nickel(II) complexes, the Ni(L)₂ reacts reversibly with pyridine to yield the octahedral complex ({(Py)₂Ni(L)₂}).

The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis; MS, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopies. The magnetic susceptibilities of the complexes were measured to confirm the hybridization patterns and the geometries. Single-crystal X-ray analyses of Ni(L)₂ and [Co(L)₂]₂ complexes were also carried out to prove the molecular topologies.     

Thermal behavior and other properties of Pr(III), Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Tb(III) complexes with 4,4′-bipyridine and trichloroacetates

A novel mixed-ligand complexes with empirical formulae: Ln(4-bpy)_1.5(CCl₃COO)₃·nH₂O (where Ln(III) = Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb; n = 1 for Pr, Sm, Eu and n = 3 for Gd, Tb; 4-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) were prepared and characterized by chemical, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Conductivity studies (in methanol, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide) were also described. All complexes are crystalline. The way of metal–ligand coordination was discussed. The thermal properties of complexes in the solid state were studied under non-isothermal conditions in air atmosphere. During heating the complexes decompose via intermediate products to the oxides: Pr₆O₁₁, Ln₂O₃ (for Sm, Eu, Gd) and Tb₄O₇. TG-MS system was used to analyze principal volatile thermal decomposition and fragmentation products evolved during pyrolysis of Pr(III) and Sm(III) compounds in air.     

Mixed-ligand complexes of iron(II), iron(III), copper(II), and cobalt(II) with pyrazolonic and 2,2′-bipyridine ligands

New mixed-ligand complexes, [M₂(BAMP)(bipy)₂][MCl₄]₂, M=Co⁺²(1), Cu⁺²(2), [M₂(TAMEN)(bipy)₂][MCl₄]₂, M=Fe⁺²(3), Co²⁺(4), and [Fe₂(TAMEN)(bipy)₂][FeCl₆]₂ (5), where BAMP and TAMEN stand for the Mannich bases N,N′-bis(antipyryl-4-methylene)-piperazine and N,N′-tetra(antipyryl-4-methylene)-1,2-ethane-diamine, respectively, have been obtained and characterized by elemental analyses, conductometric and magnetic susceptibility measurements at room temperature, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis, infrared, and mass spectroscopy, and ¹H NMR spectra for the ligands.

The spectral properties, stability in solutions and in the solid phase at elevated temperature of the complexes have been studied. The effects of complexing metal ion and the reaction medium on the spectral luminescent properties (absorptivity, quantum yield, fluorescence lifetime, and the radiation constant) and on thermal destruction of the [ML₂] complexes have been discussed.

Copper(II), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) coordination polymers with 2-methylglutarato and 4,4′-dipyridyldisulfide

Three new coordination polymers of copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II), Cu(H₂O)(Dpds)(2-MGA) (I), [Zn(Dpds)(2-MGA)] · 1.25H₂O (II) and [Cd(H₂O)(Dpds)(2-MGA)] · 0.25H₂O (III) (Dpds = 4,4′-dipyridyldisulfide, H₂MGA = (RS)-2-methyl glutaric acid), have been synthesized and characteried by X-ray single crystal structure determination. The Cu atoms in I are alternately bridged by Dpds ligands and 2-methylglutarato ligands to generate 1D chain. The resulted chains are assembled via S...S weak interactions into 2D layers, which are through twofold 2D parallel/2D parallel mode inclined interpenetration to induce 3D supramolecular architecture. In II, the ZnN₂O₂ tetrahedras are bridged by 2-MGA anion and Dpds ligands to form 2D (4,4) networks, which are assembled via hydrogen bonds to 3D supramolecular architecture. The centrosymmetric binuclear units Cd₂(2-MGA)₂ in III are bridged by Dpds ligands to form 1D repeated rhomboids chains, which are interlinked via S...S weak interactions into 2D layer, and the resulting 2D sheets are inclined parallel into 3D network.     

Complexes of N-phenyl-N′-2-furanthiocarbohydrazide with oxovanadium(IV), manganese(III), iron(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II)

A new ligand, N-phenyl-N -2-furanthiocarbohydrazide (HPhfth), and its complexes with VO^IV, Mn^III, Fe^III, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, i.r., n.m.r., u.v.–vis., mass and FAB mass spectral data. The room temperature e.s.r. spectra of the VO^IV, Fe^III and Cu^II complexes yield <g> values characteristic of square pyramidal VO^IV, octahedral Fe^III and square planar Cu^II, respectively. The Ni^II and Cu^II complexes semiconduct, but the Zn^II complex is an insulator at room temperature. However, the conductivity increases as the temperature increases from 303–383 K, with a band gap of 0.21–1.01 eV. HPhfth and its soluble complexes have been screened against several bacteria and fungi.     

Complexation between decamethyl-3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethene) and zinc(II), copper(II), and cobalt(II) acetates

Decamethyl-3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethene) dihydrobromide H₂L · 2HBr (H₂L is bis(3,4,7,8,9-pentamethylpyrrol-3-yl)methane), which is the simplest representative of a novel class of oligo(dipyrrolylmethenes) belonging to chromophore chelating nonmacrocyclic ligands, were examined by ¹H NMR, IR, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. Complexation reactions of H₂L · 2HBr with M(AcO)₂ (M = Zn(II), Cu(II), and Co(II)) in DMF at 298.15 K were monitored by electronic absorption spectroscopy and studied by the molar ratio method. The thermodynamic constants K ⁰ of these reactions were estimated. The d metal ions coordinate H₂L to give the binuclear homoleptic complexes [M₂L₂]. The reactions proceed through the intermediate binuclear heteroleptic complex [M₂L(AcO)₂] detected by spectroscopic methods. The thermodynamic stabilities of [M₂L₂] and [M₂L(AcO)₂] increase when moving from Cu(II) to Zn(II) and Co(II). The probability of formation and stability of [M₂L₂] containing 3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethene) are substantially higher than those of analogous complexes with the 2,2′-isomer (decamethyl-2,2′-biladienea, c). The low K ⁰ values for the complexation between H₂L and Cu(AcO)₂ are due to slow oxidation of the biladiene ligand into a bilatriene with participation of Cu²⁺ ions.     

Thermodynamics of Copper(II), Zinc(II), Cobalt(II), Mercury(II), and Nickel(II) Complexation with α,α-Dipyrrolylmethene in DMF

Thermodynamics of complexation reactions between Zn(II), Ni(II), Hg(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) acetates and 3,35,5-tetramethyl-4,4-dibutyldipyrrolylmethene in DMF at 298.15 K is studied by calorimetric and spectrophotometric methods. The replacement of Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Hg²⁺ ions by Co²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions was found to increase the equilibrium constants of reactions of complex formation with dipyrrolylmethene by more than two orders of magnitude. The role of solvation interactions in coordination of dipyrrolylmethene by d-metal ions is established.     

Simultaneous speciation of arsenic (As(III), MMA, DMA, and As(V)) and selenium (Se(IV), Se(VI), and SeCN−) in petroleum refinery aqueous streams

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to an ICP-MS with an octapole reaction system (ORS) has been used to carry out quantitative speciation of selenium (Se) and arsenic (As) in the stream waters of a refining process. The argon dimers interfering with the ⁷⁸Se and ⁸⁰Se isotopes were suppressed by pressurizing the octapole chamber with 3.1 mL min⁻¹ H₂ and 0.5 mL min⁻¹ He. Four arsenic species arsenite—As(III), arsenate (As(V)), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA)—and three inorganic Se species—selenite Se(IV), selenate Se(VI), and selenocyanate (SeCN⁻)—were separated in a single run by ion chromatography (IC) using gradient elution with 100 mmol L⁻¹ NH₄NO₃, pH 8.5, adjusted by addition of NH₃, as eluent. Repeatabilities of peak position and of peak area evaluation were better than 1% and about 3%, respectively. Detection limits (as 3σ of the baseline noise) were 81, 56, and 75 ng L⁻¹ for Se(IV), Se(VI), and SeCN⁻, respectively, and 22, 19, 25, and 16 ng L⁻¹ for As(III), As(V), MMA, and DMA, respectively. Calibration curve R ² values ranged between 0.996 and 0.999 for the arsenic and selenium species. Column recovery for ion chromatography was calculated to be 97 ± 6% for combined arsenic species and 98 ± 3% for combined selenium species. Because certified reference materials for As and Se speciation studies are still not commercially available, in order to check accuracy and precision the method was applied to certified reference materials, BCR 714, BCR 1714, and BCR 715 and to two different refinery samples—inlet and outlet wastewater. The method was successfully used to study the quantitative speciation of selenium and arsenic in petroleum refinery wastewaters.

Complexes of N-nicotinoyl-N′-2-furanthiocarbohydrazide with oxovanadium(IV), manganese(II), iron(II & III), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II)

A new potential tetradentate ligand, N-nicotinoyl-N-2-furanthiocarbohydrazide (H₂Nfth), and its complexes with VO^IV, Mn^II, Fe^II,III, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, u.v.–vis, i.r., n.m.r., ES⁺ and FAB mass spectral data. The room temperature e.s.r spectra of the VO^IV and Fe^III complexes yield g values, characteristic of octahedral complexes. The Mössbauer spectra of [Fe(HNfth)₂] and [Fe₂(Nfth)₃] at room temperature and at 78 K suggest the presence of high-spin iron(II) and iron(III), respectively. The complexes are electrically insulating at room temperature, however, their conductivities increase as the temperature increases from 333–383 K, with a band gap of 0.46–0.77 eV, indicating their semiconducting behaviour. H₂Nfth and its soluble complexes have been screened against several bacteria and fungi.     

Complex formation of Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), and Cd(II) acetates with 3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexamethyldipyrrolylmethene

The reactions of complex formation of Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), and Cd(II) acetates with 3,3′,4,4′5,5′-hexamethyl-2,2′-dipyrrolylmethene (HL) in DMF were studied by the electronic spectroscopy and calorimetric titration methods at 298.15 K. The main products of the above reactions are [ML₂] chelates. In the case of Cu and Ni salts, the process occurs through the spectrally recorded stage of formation of the heteroligand [ML(AcO)] complexes. The reaction with Cd acetate terminates at the stage of the heteroligand complex formation due to the large radius and decreasing electron affinity of the Cd²⁺ ion. The effect of the metal nature appears in the increasing thermodynamic stability of single-type complexes in the series [ML₂]: Ni(II) < Zn(II) < Co(II) < Cu(II) and [ML(AcO)]: Cd(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II).     

Microwave assisted synthesis and characterization of N,N′-bis(salicylaldehydo)ethylenediimine complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II)

Microwave chemistry is a green chemical method that improves reaction conditions and product yields while reducing solvent amounts and reaction times. The main aim of this article is to synthesize the tetradentate N₂O₂ ligand [HO(Ar)CH=N–(CH₂)₂–N=CH(Ar)OH] and manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), and zinc(II) complexes of the type ML by classical and microwave techniques. The resulting Schiff base and its complexes are characterized by ¹H NMR, infrared, elemental analysis, and electronic spectral data. The ligand and its Co(II) and Mn(II) complexes were further identified by X-ray diffraction and mass spectra to confirm the structure. The results suggest that the metal is bonded to the ligand through the phenolic oxygen and the imino nitrogen.     

Aqueous Equilibrium and Solution Structural Studies of the Interaction of N,N′-bis(4-imidazolymethyl)etylenediamine with Ca(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Mg(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) Metal Ions

Divalent metal complexes of N,N′-bis(4-imidazolymethyl)etylenediamine (EMI) have been studied using potentiometric and spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis and NMR methods) in aqueous 0.1 mol⋅L⁻¹ KCl supporting electrolyte at 25 °C. Final models and overall stability constants for the complexes of Ca(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Mg(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) have been established by potentiometry for all M(II)–EMI systems, except for Co(II)–EMI. The data revealed that EMI forms ML complexes with all M(II)–EMI systems, which is the dominant species over a wide range of pH except for the Ca(II)–EMI and Mg(II)–EMI systems. Formation of the MnHL complex was also found for Mn(II)–EMI solutions. In addition, the UV-Vis and ¹H NMR results allowed us establish the coordination modes for the metal complexes between EMI with Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II).
