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.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) Complexes of a New Vic-Dioxime Ligand

In this study, 1,2-dihydroxyimino-3,7-di-aza-9,10-O-α-methyl benzal decane (LH₂) was synthesized starting from 1,2-O-α-methyl benzal-4-aza-7-amino heptane (RNH₂) and antichloroglyoxime. With this ligand, complexes were synthesized using Ni(II) and Cu(II) salts with a metal:ligand ratio of 1:2. However, the reaction of the ligand with salts of Zn(II) and Cd(II) gave products with metal:ligand ratio of 1:1. Structures of the ligand and its complexes are proposed based on elemental analyses, IR, ¹³C- and ¹H-NMR spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).     

Potentiometric study of Cd(II) and Pb(II) complexation with two high molecular weight poly(acrylic acids); comparison with Cu(II) and Ni(II)

The cadmium (II) or lead (II) complex formation with two poly(acrylic acids) of high molecular weight (Mw=2.5×10⁵ and 3×10⁶) was investigated in dilute aqueous solution (NaNO₃ 0.1 mol l⁻¹; 25°C). Potentiometric titrations were carried out to determine the stability constants of the MA and MA₂ complex species formed. Bjerrum’s method, modified by Gregor et al. (J. Phys. Chem. 59 (1955) 34–39), for the study of polymeric acids was used. The results were compared to those previously obtained in the same conditions with copper (II) and nickel (II) . It appeared that the two polymers under study present similar binding properties and that the stability constants of the complex species formed increased in the following order, depending on the metal ion: Ni(II)β₁₀₂ was found to be close to 7.0) and allowed the formation of the predominant PbA₂ species in a quite large pH domain. Finally, the greater stability of PAA complexes compared to those of their monomeric analogs, glutaric and acetic acids, was confirmed.     

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

The mononuclear complexes of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II), [Zn(phen-dione)Cl₂], [Cd(phen-dione)Cl₂] and [Hg(phen-dione)Cl₂], where phen-dione?=?1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR, ¹H?NMR and electronic absorption spectroscopies. The ν(C=O) of coordinated phen-dione ligands in these complexes shows that the phen-dione is not coordinated to metal ion from its C=O sites. Electronic spectra of the complexes show two absorption bands for intraligand transitions. These absorption bands show dependence on the dielectric constant of solvents. These complexes exhibit an intense fluorescence band around 545?nm in DMSO when the excitation wavelengths are 200?nm at room temperature.     

Spectrophotometric study of coproporphyrin-I complexes of copper(II) and cobalt(II)

The reagent 3,8,13,18-tetramethyl-21H,23H-porphine-2,7,12,17-tetrapropionic acid or coproporphyrin-I (CPI) was used for the spectrophotometric determination of copper(II) and cobalt(II) in the presence of pyridine and imidazole catalysts. Optimum conditions were investigated and the methods were applied to the determination of parts per billion levels of copper(II) and cobalt(II). The Sandell sensitivities of the recommended procedures were 0.568 μm cm⁻² and 0.464 μg cm⁻² (for A = 0.001) for copper and cobalt, respectively. The relative standard deviations were 2.0% for copper and 1.0% for cobalt. The kinetics of the reaction of CPI with copper(II) and cobalt(II) in the presence of the catalysts and the influence of the temperature were studied, and their kinetic constants determined.The influence of light on the photodecomposition of CPI was also studied.     

Polarized spectroscopy and hybrid materials of chiral Schiff base Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) complexes with included or separated azo-groups

Chiral Schiff base complexes containing azo-groups, bis(N-R-1-naphtylethyl-4-phenyldiazenylsalicydenaminato) nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes affording a distorted square planar trans-[MN₂O₂] coordination geometry were prepared newly. Organic/inorganic hybrid materials in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cast films of them (a containing type) or the analogous chiral Schiff base complexes, bis(N-R-1-phenylethyl-3,5-dichlorosalicydenaminato) nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II), and azobenzene (AZ) (a separated type) were assembled for comparison of polarized UV light induced molecular arrangement caused by Weigert effect. Investigation of parameters for optical anisotropy of metal complexes as well as AZ suggested that the degree of increasing optical anisotropy of the containing type is higher than that of the separated type based on π-π^∗ (of which characteristic band appeared around 380 nm), n-π^∗, and d-d bands of polarized absorption electronic spectra. Rigid nickel(II) or zinc(II) complexes are easy to increase optical anisotropy than flexible copper(II) complexes for both types.     

Zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes with PDT: study of the effect of weak interactions on crystal packing

Two new zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes, [Zn(PDT)₂(NCS)₂] (1) and [Cd((PDT)₂I_1.6(H₂O)_0.4(OH)_0.4] · 0.4H₂O (2) (“PDT” is the abbreviation of 3-(2-pyridyl)-5, 6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, and studied by X-ray crystallography. Zinc(II) in 1 is six coordinate ZnN₆. 2 is a co-crystal with cadmium(II) being 60% six-coordinated with a CdN₄I₂ environment and 40% seven-coordinated with a CdN₄O₂I environment. The supramolecular features in these complexes are guided/controlled by weak directional intermolecular S ··· π, C–H ··· π, C–H ··· I, and π ··· π interactions.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, spectroscopic and photoluminescence studies of manganese(II), cobalt(II), cadmium(II), zinc(II) and copper(II) complexes with a pyrazole derived Schiff base ligand

Varying coordination modes of the Schiff base ligand H₂L [5-methyl-1-H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (1-pyridin-2-yl-ethylidene)-hydrazide] towards different metal centers are reported with the syntheses and characterization of four mononuclear Mn(II), Co(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes, [Mn(H₂L)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂(MeOH) (1), [Co(H₂L)(NCS)₂] (2), [Cd(H₂L)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ (3) and [Zn(H₂L)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ (4), and a binuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu₂(L)₂](ClO₄)₂ (5). In the complexes 1-4 the neutral ligand serves as a 3N,2O donor where the pyridine ring N, two azomethine N and two carbohydrazine oxygen atoms are coordinatively active, leaving the pyrazole-N atoms inactive. In the case of complex 5, each ligand molecule behaves as a 4N,O donor utilizing the pyridine N, one azomethine N, the nitrogen atom proximal to the azomethine of the remaining pendant arm and one pyrazole-N atom to one metal center and the carbohydrazide oxygen atom to the second metal center. The complexes 1-4 are pentagonal bipyramidal in geometry. In each case, the ligand molecule spans the equatorial plane while the apical positions are occupied by water molecules in 1, 3 and 4 and two N bonded thiocyanate ions in 2. In complex 5, the two Cu(II) centers have almost square pyramidal geometry (τ = 0.05 for Cu1 and 0.013 for Cu2). Four N atoms from a ligand molecule form the basal plane and the carbohydrazide oxygen atom of a second ligand molecule sits in the apex of the square pyramid. All the complexes have been X-ray crystallographically characterized. The Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes show considerable fluorescence emission while the remaining complexes and the ligand molecule are fluorescent silent.     

Complexing properties of methyl and phenyl glycine derivatives in their compounds with H+, Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)

The influence of the solvent and the substituents on the complexing properties of methyl and phenyl glycine derivatives is discussed. On the basis of a computer analysis of potentiometric titration results, the composition and the stability constants of the complexes ofN-methylglycine,N,N-dimethylglycine,N-phenylglycine and phenylglycine with H⁺ and with Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) were determined. The ligand-metal coordination mode as well as the zwitterion level in percent in ligand/proton systems were determined by spectral analyses and equilibria studies.

Synthesis, spectral and structural studies of 1-ethoxycarbonyl-piperazine-4-carbodithioate and its Co(III), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes

The new complexes [Co(ecpzdtc)₃] (2) [Zn(ecpzdtc)₂(py)] (3) and [Cd(ecpzdtc)₂(py)]·H₂O (4) have been synthesized from sodium 1-ethoxycarbonyl-piperazine-4-carbodithioate [(Na⁺(ecpzdtc)⁻]. The ligand and the complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, magnetic susceptibility and single crystal X-ray data. The [Zn(ecpzdtc)₂(py)] and [Cd(ecpzdtc)₂(py)]·H₂O complexes contain pyridine as the co-ligand. [Co(ecpzdtc)₃] (2) crystallizes in the monoclinic system, whereas [Zn(ecpzdtc)₂(py)] (3) and [Cd(ecpzdtc)₂(py)]·H₂O (4) crystallize in the triclinic system. The sulfur donor sites of the bidentate ligand chelate the metal center, forming a four-membered CS₂M ring. The cobalt complex has a distorted octahedral geometry, the zinc complex is almost between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal, whereas the cadmium complex is square pyramidal. The crystal structures of all the complexes are stabilized by various types of inter and intramolecular hydrogen bonding.     

Synthesis and Properties of Complexes of Lead(II), Cadmium(II), and Zinc(II) with N-Phosphonomethylglycine

Summary.  Sparingly water soluble complexes of lead(II), cadmium(II), and zinc(II) with N-phosphonomethylglycine (glyphosate, NPMG) of the general formulae C₃H₆O₅NPPb, C₃H₆O₅NPCdċ2H₂O, and C₃H₆O₅NPZn were synthesized. The complexes were also precipited from a dilute Roundup solution, and their solubility in water was determined. Thermal, diffractometric, and IR spectrophotometric analyses were carried out. It was found that the metal is bonded to glyphosate through the oxygen atoms of the carboxylic and phosphonate groups; metal-nitrogen binding is absent in the above compounds. Studying the complexing behaviour in solution by UV spectrophotometry pointed out that a complex of the composition Pb(II) : NPMG=1:1 with an absorption band at 232 nm is formed. Its stability constant as determined by Job’s method is logK=5.9±0.1. Using potentiometric techniques, the dissociation constant of N-phosphonomethylglycine and the stability constants of its complexes with cadmium (II) and zinc (II) were determined.

The role of chiral dopants in organic/inorganic hybrid materials containing chiral Schiff base Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes

Chiral Schiff base complexes containing azo-groups, bis(N-R-1-cyclohexylethyl-4-phenyldiazenylsalicydenaminato) nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes, and without azo-groups, bis(N-R-1-cyclohexylethyl-3,5-dichlorosalicydenaminato) nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes, affording a distorted square planar trans-[MN₂O₂] coordination geometry were prepared. Organic/inorganic hybrid materials in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) spincoat films of the complexes (both the azobenzene (AZ) containing type and the latter complexes of the AZ separated type) were assembled for a comparison of polarized UV light induced molecular arrangement caused by the Weigert effect. Investigation of the parameters for the optical anisotropy of the metal complexes as well as AZ suggested that the degree of increasing optical anisotropy of the containing type was higher than that of the separated type based on π-π^∗ (of which a characteristic band appeared around 380 nm) and n-π^∗ bands of polarized absorption electronic spectra. In the AZ containing type, the rigid nickel(II) or zinc(II) complexes easily increase the optical anisotropy compared to the flexible copper(II) complexes. In the AZ separated type, interestingly, enhancement of some CD bands suggests the role of chiral dopants of some complexes without azo-groups for AZ.     

Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes of 8-aminoquinoline.: Structure,spectra and photoluminescence property

The reaction of 8-aminoquinoline (8-aq) with M(NO₃)₂ and M(ClO₄)₂ (where M = Zn, Cd and Hg) has synthesized complexes of the composition [M(8-aq)₂(H₂O)₂](X)₂ (X = NO₃, ClO₄) whereas MCl₂ has isolated M(8-aq)Cl₂ type non-ionic compounds. The reaction of M(OAc)₂, 8-aq and NaN₃/NH₄CNS in a 1:1:2 mole ratio has separated polynuclear complexes of the composition [M(8-aq)(Y)₂]_n (Y = N₃, NCS). The complexes have been characterized by spectroscopic data and have been structurally confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction study in some representative cases. The X-ray structure of [Zn(8-aq)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ shows C–H–π, and π–π interactions and forms a H-bonded sheet (with interactions between the oxygen of NO₃ and C(9)–H of 8-aq/coordinated H₂O). A novel one-dimensional cadmium(II) azido complex, [Cd(8-aq)(N₃)₂]n (9), in which the azido takes on an end-on (EO) bridging mode, has been synthesized and characterized. The presence of π–π interactions result in a supramolecular two-dimensional behaviour for the structure. The complexes are photoluminescent at room temperature.     

Cu(II), Zn(II), AND Pb(II) STABILITY CONSTANTS OF CYCLAM AMPHIPHILES

Abstract

1-Hexadecyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (hexadecyl cyclam) and 1-(3,7,11,15-tetramethyl) hexadecyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tetramethylhexadecyl cyclam) have been synthesized and their deprotonation and ligand-metal formation constants, K, determined for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Pb(II). The coupling of a long hydrocarbon chain to a ring nitrogen decreased the general ability of the cyclam ring to complex with metal ions. The greatest effect appeared to be for Cu(II) decreasing from a pK of 27 for cyclam to about 17. The titrations were fitted by HYPERQUAD and the concentrations of the intermediate complexes obtained as a function of pH. Metal-ligand complexes LMH₂ ⁴⁺, LMH₂₊ and LM₂₊ can coexist through a wide pH range. We have also calculated a composite metal-binding constant, K′, to reflect more accurately the overall ability of these ligands to bind a metal at any particular pH. K′, which is 14.6 for (hexadecyl cyclam)-Cu(II), is constructed from the concentrations of all the metal-chelated species at pH = 7. Generally, K′ is much lower than K.     

Oxidation of azo dye Orange II with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(diethylmethylammonio)phenyl]porphyrinato-cobalt(II)tetraiodide in aqueous solution

The catalytic oxidation of the azo dye Orange II by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution has been investigated using 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-[4-(diethylmethylammonio)phenyl]porphyrinato-cobalt(II) tetra iodide 1as catalyst. The oxidation reaction was followed by recording the UV–vis spectra of the reaction mixture with time at λ_max = 485 nm. The factors that may influence the oxidation of Orange II, such as the effect of reaction temperature, concentration of catalyst, hydrogen peroxide and orange II have been studied. The results of total organic carbon analysis showed 52% of dye mineralization under mild reaction conditions. Residual organic compounds in the reaction mixture were identified by using Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The decolorization rate and mineralization of the dye has been found to increase with increase of catalyst concentration and reaction temperature. The rate of dye oxidation decreased with increasing the concentration of dye, H₂O₂ and at higher pH than 9. Radical scavenging measurement indicated that decolorization of Orange II by H₂O₂/cobalt (II) porphyrin complex 1 involved the formation of hydroxyl radicals as the active species.     

Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes with 1-(p-methoxybenzyl)-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)benzimidazole: Syntheses, structures and luminescence

Five coordination compounds Zn(mbmpbi)₂Cl₂ (1), Zn(mbmpbi)₂Br₂ (2), Cd(mbmpbi)₂Cl₂ (3), Hg(mbmpbi)₂Cl₂ (4) and Hg(mbmpbi)₂Br₂ (5) were synthesized by the reaction of 1-(p-methoxybenzyl)-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)benzimidazole (mbmpbi) with the corresponding metal halides. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, FT-IR, ¹H NMR and photoluminescence spectral studies. The ligand mbmpbi exhibits the N-benzimidazole coordination. The structures of 3-5 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. These three complexes are isostructural, crystallizing in the monoclinic system, P2/n space group with a distorted tetrahedral geometry around the metal ion. Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes show strong blue emission in solid state at room temperature.     

Spectrophotometric determination of mercury with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3-chloro-4-sulfophenyl)porphine by flow injection analysis

5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3-chloro-4-sulfophenyl)porphine (m-Cl-TPPS₄) was synthesized and used for the Spectrophotometric determination of mercury by flow injection analysis. A pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic mechanism was proposed with a rate constant of 0.8 min^–1 for Hg(II) withm-Cl-TPPS₄ in the presence of 8-hydroxyquinoline in a medium of 1.0M acetic acid and sodium acetate buffer solution (pH 6.22). In the optimum conditions of reaction temperature (85 ° C), stopped-flow time (60 s) and sampling volume (100 l), the method's relative standard deviation was 0.82% (n = 12) at 5.0 g ml^–1 mercury, with a linear range of 0–12.0 g ml^–1 and an analytical frequency of 60h^–1. The detection limit (3) was 0.025 g ml^–1. Interference studies showed that most metal ions co-existing with Hg²⁺ could be tolerated at 100-fold excess levels, but Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ needed to be masked. The method has been applied to the analysis of water samples with satisfactory results.     

Complexation of N-bis[2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]aspartic acid with Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) ions in aqueous solution

The persistence of widely used chelating agents EDTA and DTPA in nature has been of concern and there is a need for ligands to replace them. In a search for environmentally friendly metal chelating ligands for industrial applications, complex formation equilibria of N-bis[2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]aspartic acid (BCA6) with Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) in aqueous 0.1 M NaNO₃ solution were studied at 25°C by potentiometric titration. Complexation was modeled and the stability constants of the different complexes were determined for each metal ion using the computer program SUPERQUAD. With all metal ions, stable ML^4? complexes dominated the complex formation. The stabilities of Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) chelates of BCA6 are remarkably lower than those of EDTA and DTPA. Environmental advantages of the use of BCA6 instead of EDTA and DTPA are better biodegradability and lower nitrogen content with a possibility to save chemicals and process steps in pulp bleaching.     

Synthesis and structural studies of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) complexes with 2-acetylpyridine

Three new mononuclear complexes [Co(2-Acpy)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ (1), [Ni(2-Acpy)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ (2) and [Cd(2-Acpy)₂(NO₃)₂] (3) (2-Acpy = 2-acetylpyridine) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The structures of 1 and 3 were accomplished by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic investigation of 1 reveals monomeric, dicationic units in which the cobalt(II) ion is six-coordinate. The coordination sphere is formed by two N, O bidentate acetylpyridine ligands and two water molecules. The crystal structure of 3 consists of monomeric units in which the cadmium is eight-coordinate. Both the organic ligand and nitrate groups are bidentate chelators. The supramolecular solid-state architecture is sustained by π–π interactions.     

Separation of Ga(III) from Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) in aqueous solution using synthetic polymeric resins

Poly (acrylamide-acrylic acid-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate), p(AM-AA-DMAEM) and Poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid)-ethylenediaminetetracetic acid disodium, p(AM-AA)-EDTANa₂ were prepared by gamma radiation-induced template polymerization technique and used for the separation of Ga (III) from Cu (II), Ni (II), and Zn (II) in aqueous media. The effect of pH and contact time on the separation process was studied. The optimum pH value for the separation process is 3–3.5. The result shows that Ga (III) is first extracted while Cu (II), Ni (II) and Zn(II) are slightly extracted at this pH value. The recovery of metals using HCl, HNO₃ and H₂SO₄ has been studied. The resins may be regenerated using 2M HCl solutions.
