Synthesis and spectral studies ofo-hydroxyacetophenone (N-benzoyl)glycyl hydrazone and some of its lanthanide(III) complexes

Summary o-Hydroxyacetophenone (N-benzoyl)glycyl hydrazone (o-HABzGH) has been characterized by i.r.,¹H n.m.r.,¹³C n.m.r. and mass spectral studies, and its complexes of the types [Ln(o-HABzGH)Cl₂(H₂O)₂]Cl and [Ln(o-HABzGH–2H)OH(H₂O)₃], where Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu, have been synthesized. The structures of the complexes have been studied by conductance, magnetic, electronic, i.r.,¹H n.m.r. and¹³C n.m.r. spectral techniques. The hypersensitive bands of the electronic spectra suggest coordination numbers six and seven around Nd^III in its adduct and neutral complexes respectively. I.r. and n.m.r. spectral data suggest a neutral bidentate behaviour for the ligand in the adducts and a dinegative tridentate nature in the neutral complexes.     

Some lanthanide metal complexes of n-isonicotinamidosalicylaldimine

Trivalent lanthanide complexes of the type K[ML ₂] whereM=La(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III) and Dy(III) and H₂ L=N-isonicotinamidosalicyladimine, have been prepared and characterised. The nephelauxetic ratio (β), covalency (δ) and bonding parameter (b ²) of K[NdL ₂] have been calculated. Infrared spectral studies reveal that N-isonicotinamidosalicylaldimine acts as a dibasic tridentate ligand. A coordination number six has been proposed for the lanthanide metal ions.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic (IR,electronic, FAB-mass,and PXRD), magnetic,and antimicrobial studies of new iron(III) complexes containing Schiff bases and substituted benzoxazole ligands

Mixed ligand complexes of iron(III), [Fe(sb)₂(py)Cl]?·?2H₂O (1–9) [where sbH?=?Schiff bases (derived from condensation of 2-aminopyridine (sapH), 2-aminophenol (saphH), o-toluidine (o-smabH), aminobenzene (sabH), p-toluidine (p-smabH), 3-nitroaniline (snabH), and anthranilic acid (saaH) with salicylaldehyde and substituted (mercapto-)benzimidazole (mbzH), {2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)}benzoxazole, (pboxH)], have been synthesized by the interactions of iron(III) chloride with corresponding ligands in 1?:?2 molar ratio in refluxing pyridine. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, melting points, spectral, and magnetic studies. Powder X-ray diffraction studies of some representative complexes are also reported herein. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the free ligands and their iron(III) complexes were found in vitro. The complexes showed good antibacterial and antifungal effect to some bacteria and fungi. Two standard antibiotics (chloromphenicol and terbinafine) were used for comparison with these complexes.     

Lanthanide(III) Nitrate Complexes of Two 17 Membered N3O2-Donor Macrocycles

The interaction of lanthanide(III) ions with two N₃O₃-macrocycles, L¹ and L², derived from 2,6-bis(2-formylphenoxymethyl)pyridine and 1,2-diaminoethane has been investigated. Schiff-base macrocyclic lanthanide(III) complexes LnL¹(NO₃)₃ · xH₂O (Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu or Lu) have been prepared by direct reaction of L¹ and the appropriate hydrated lanthanide nitrate. The direct reaction between the diamine macrocycle L² and the hydrated lanthanide(III) nitrates yields complexes LnL²(NO₃)₃· H₂O only for Ln = Dy or Lu. The reduction of the Schiff-base macrocycle decreases the complexation capacity of the ligand towards the Ln(III) ions. The complexes have been characterised by elemental analysis, molar conductivity data, FAB mass spectrometry, IR and, in the case of the lutetium complexes, ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis,spectral and antimicrobial studies of rare earth metal complexes with Schiff-base hydrazone containing quinoline moiety

The synthesis and characterization of lanthanide(III) complexes with the Schiff-base hydrazone, o-hydroxyacetophenone-7-chloro-4-quinoline, (HL) are reported. The complexes were characterized by different physicochemical methods: mass spectrometry, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and IR, UV-visible, molar conductance and magnetic studies. They have the stoichiometry [Ln(L)₂(NO₃)]·nH₂O where Ln = La(III), Pr(III), Nd(II), Sm(III), Eu(III) and n = 1–3.

The Schiff-base ligand and its metal complexes were tested against one stain Gram +ve bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram ?ve bacteria (Escherichia coli), and Fungi (Candida albicans). The tested compounds exhibited high antimicrobial activities     

Synthesis and characterization of the complexes of some transition metals with 2-acetyl pyridine (N-benzoyl) glycyl hydrazone

Complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) with 2-acetyl pyridine (N-benzoyl) glycyl hydrazone(2-ApBzGH) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductances, magnetic susceptibility, IR, electronic, ESR,¹H,¹³C and¹¹³Cd NMR spectral and X-ray diffraction studies. IR and NMR data suggest the tridentate nature of the ligand coordinating as a neutral species in the addition complexes and as a uninegative species in the deprotonated complexes. The presence of more than one isomer of the ligand has been established by¹H NMR spectra of the ligand and complexes recorded over the 298–396 K range. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns of [Cd(2-ApBzGH)Cl]Cl and [Cu(2-ApBzGH)Cl(H₂O)₂]Cl are indexed for orthorhombic and tetragonal crystal systems respectively.     

Copper(II), nickel(II), palladium(II) and iron(III) complexes of 2-(3-phthalhydrazidylazo)-1,3-diketones

Neutral complexes of three phthalhydrazidylazo-1,3-diketones [phthalhydrazidylazo-acetylacetone (H₂PAA),-benzoylacetone (H₂PBA) and-dibenzoylmethane (H₂PDM)] with Cu(II), Ni(II), Pd(II) and Fe(III) have been synthesised and characterized on the basis of their analytical data, magnetic moment, molar conductance and IR and¹H NMR spectral data. Dibasic tridentate coordination of the ligands is brought out by the above spectral data. Half-wave potentials and far IR spectral data of the Cu(II) complexes indicate that the H₂PAA complex is the most stable. M?ssbauer spectra of the Fe(III) complexes reveal that delocalisation of the metald electrons with the chelate ring decreases with increasing capability of the pendant groups of the ring for cross conjugation.

Room temperature ESR spectra of the Mn(II) and Cu(II) complexes yield <g> values, characteristic of tetrahedral and square planar complexes respectively. DBtsc and its soluble complexes have been screened against several bacteria, fungi and tumour cell lines.     

Synthesis and Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Two Dy(III) Complexes with Benzoate Derivative and 2,2′‐Bipyridine as Co‐ligands

Two Dy(III) complexes with benzoate derivative and 2,2′‐bipyridine ligands, [Dy(2,4‐DClBA)₃bipy]₂ and [Dy(o‐MOBA)₃bipy]₂·4H₂O (2,4‐DClBA=2,4‐dichlorobenzoate; o‐MOBA=o‐methoxybenzoate; bipy=2,2′‐bipyridine), were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, ultraviolet spectra and thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry techniques. The thermal decomposition behavior of the two complexes under a static air atmosphere was discussed by thermogravimetry, differential thermogravimetry and infrared spectral techniques. The non‐isothermal kinetics were investigated by using a double equal‐double step method, a non‐linear isoconversional integral method and a Starink method. The mechanism functions of the first decomposition step for [Dy(2,4‐DClBA)₃bipy]₂ and the second decomposition step for [Dy(o‐MOBA)₃bipy]₂·4H₂O were determined. Meanwhile, the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH^ne;, ΔG^ne; and ΔS^ne;) and kinetic parameters (activation energy E and the pre‐exponential factor A) for the two complexes were also calculated.     

Homo- and heteronuclear complexes of a new,vicinal dioxime ligand

A new symmetrical vicinal dioxime, N,N′-bis-{4-[[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylene]hydrazinecarbonyl]phenyl}diaminoglyoxime (LH₄), was prepared by reacting anti-dichloroglyoxime with salicylaldehyde 4-aminobenzoylhydrazone. The reaction of ligand with Ni²⁺ salts gave mono-and homopentanuclear complexes, [Ni(LH₃)₂] and [Ni₅(LH)₂X₂]. Furthermore, heteropentanuclear complexes of dioxime ligand, [Cu₄Ni(LH)₂X₄], were prepared by the reaction of [Ni(LH₃)₂)] with Cu²⁺ salt and a monodentate ligand (X = SCN⁻, CN⁻, or N ₃ ⁻ ). The structures of both the new symmetrical vicinal dioxime and its complexes were identified by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR, UV-VIS spectra, and magnetic susceptibility. The elemental analyses and spectral data indicate that the hydrazone side of ligand acts as a O,N,O′ tridentate and the fourth position is occupied with monodentate anion such as SCN⁻, CN⁻, N ₃ ⁻ .     

Copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2,3-trione-2-arylhydrazones

Summary Copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) perchlorate complexes of 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2,3-trione-2-(p-nitrophenyl-hydrazone) (HL¹), 5,5-dimethyl-cyclohexane-1,2,3-trione-2-(p-chlorophenylhydrazone) (HL²), 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2,3-trione-2-(o-chlorophenylhydrazone) (HL⁴), 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2,3-trione-2-(o-methylphenyl-hydrazone) (HL⁵) and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2,3-trione-2-(m-methylphenylhydrazone) (HL⁶) have been prepared, and characterized using analytical, spectral and magnetic measurements. The data reveal that the reaction of Cu(ClO₄)₂ (1 mol) in EtOH, with all ligands, produces complexes of the type CuL(ClO₄)(H₂O).nH₂O. Nickel(II) and cobalt(II) perchlorates react only with HL¹ and HL² to produce the complexes ML(ClO₄)(H₂O)₃ (where M = Ni^II, L = L^– and L², M = Co^II, L = L¹) and Co(HL₂)₂-(ClO₄)₂.2H₂O. The spectral data show that the ligands behave as monobasic bidentate in their azo forms, except HL² which reacts with cobalt(II) as a neutral bidentate ligand in its hydrazone form.     

Application of rotate-bomb calorimeter for determining the standard molar enthalpy of formation of Ln(Pdc)3(Phen)

Thirteen solid ternary complexes Ln(Pdc)₃(Phen) (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu;) have been synthesized in absolute ethanol by rare-earth element chloride low hydrate reacting with the mixed ligands of ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APdc) and 1,10-phenanthroline · H₂O (o-Phen · H₂O) in the ordinary laboratory atmosphere without any cautions against moisture or air sensitivity. IR spectra of the complexes showed that the Ln³⁺ ion was coordinated with six sulfur atoms of three Pdc⁻ and two nitrogen atoms of o-Phen · H₂O. It was assumed that the coordination number of Ln³⁺ is eight. The constant-volume combustion energies of the complexes, Δ_c U, were determined by a precise rotate-bomb calorimeter at 298.15 K. Their standard molar enthalpies of combustion, Δ_c H _m ^o , and standard molar enthalpies of formation, Δ_f H _m ^o were calculated. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Zinc(II) (o-hydroxybenzaldoximates) Complexes with Mono- and Bidentate Ligands

New complexes:Zn(Hsalox)(ox), Zn(Hsalox)(NHPh), Zn(Hsalox)(Hsal) and Zn(Hsalox)₂(1,2-diMeim) have been synthesised as a result of a reaction of Zn(salox) and Zn(Hsalox)₂ (where: salox ^2–=OC₆H₄CHNO^2–, Hsalox ^–=OC₆H₄CHNOH^–) with 8-hydroxyquinoline (Hox), o-aminophenol (NH₂Ph), o-hydroxybenzoic acid (H₂Sal) and 1,2-dimethylimidazole (1,2-diMeim). Chemical, X-ray and thermal analyses of the complexes and their sinters have been carried out. Thermal decomposition pathways have been postulated for the complexes. The mixtures about not definite composition have been obtained as a result of a reaction of zinc(o-hydroxybenzaldoximates) with imidazole(Him) and 4-methylimidazole (4-MeHim).

Complexes of Heavy Lanthanides and Yttrium with 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic Acid

The complexes of yttrium and heavy lanthanides with 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid of the formula: Ln(C₉ H₉ O₄ )₃ ×n H₂ O, where Ln =Y(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III), and n =4 for Tb(III), Dy(III), n =3 for Ho(III), and n =0 for Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III), Lu(III) and Y(III) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and magnetic studies and X-ray diffraction measurements. The complexes have colours typical of Ln³⁺ ions (Ho - cream, Tb, Dy, Yb, Lu, Y - white, Er - salmon). The carboxylate group in these complexes is a symmetrical, bidentate, chelating ligand. They are crystalline compounds characterized by various symmetry. On heating in air to 1273 K the hydrated 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates decompose in two steps while those of anhydrous only in one stage. The tetrahydrates of Tb and Dy and trihydrate of Ho 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates are firstly dehydrated to form anhydrous salts that next are decomposed to the oxides of the respective metals. The complexes of Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y are directly decomposed to the oxides of the appropriate elements. The solubility in water at 293 K for yttrium and heavy lanthanides is in the order of 10^-4 -10^-3 mol dm^-3 . The magnetic moments of the complexes were determined over the range 77–298 K. They obey the Curie-Weiss law. The values of μ_eff calculated for all compounds are close to those obtained for Ln³⁺ by Hund and van Vleck. The results show that there is no influence of the ligand field on 4f electrons of lanthanide ions in these polycrystalline compounds and 4f electrons do not take part in the formation of M-O bonding.

Synthesis,spectroscopic, thermal and biological aspect of mixed ligand copper(II) complexes

Derivative of 8-hydroxyquinoline i.e. Clioquinol is well known for its antibiotic properties, drug design and coordinating ability towards metal ion such as Copper(II). The structure of mixed ligand complexes has been investigated using spectral, elemental and thermal analysis. In vitro anti microbial activity against four bacterial species were performed i.e. Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Bacillus substilis and found that synthesized complexes (15–37 mm) were found to be significant potent compared to standard drugs (clioquinol i.e. 10–26 mm), parental ligands and metal salts employed for complexation. The kinetic parameters such as order of reaction (n = 0.96–1.49), and the energy of activation (E _a = 3.065–142.9 kJ mol⁻¹), have been calculated using Freeman–Carroll method. The range found for the pre-exponential factor (A), the activation entropy (S* = −91.03 to−102.6 JK⁻¹ mol⁻¹), the activation enthalpy (H* = 0.380–135.15 kJ mol⁻¹), and the free energy (G* = 33.52–222.4 kJ mol⁻¹) of activation reveals that the complexes are more stable. Order of stability of complexes were found to be [Cu(A⁴)(CQ)OH] · 4H₂O > [Cu(A³)(CQ)OH] · 5H₂O > [Cu(A¹)(CQ)OH] · H₂O > [Cu(A²)(CQ)OH] · 3H₂O     

Sandwich Double‐Decker Lanthanide(III) “Intracavity” Complexes Based on Clamshell‐Type Phthalocyanine Ligands: Synthesis,Spectral, Electrochemical,and Spectroelectrochemical Investigations

Phthalocyanine compounds of novel type based on a bridged bis‐ligand, denoted “intracavity” complexes, have been prepared. Complexation of clamshell ligand 1,1′‐[benzene‐1,2‐diylbis(methanediyloxy)]bis[9(10),16(17),23(24)‐tri‐tert‐butylphthalocyanine] (^clam,tBuPc₂H₄, 1 ) with lanthanide(III) salts [Ln(acac)₃] ? n H₂O (Ln=Eu, Dy, Lu; acetylacetonate) led to formation of double‐deckers ^clam,tBuPc₂Ln ( 2 a – c ). Formation of high molecular weight oligophthalocyanine complexes was demonstrated as well. The presence of an intramolecular covalent bridge affecting the relative arrangement of macrocycles was shown to result in specific physicochemical properties. A combination of UV/Vis/NIR and NMR spectroscopy, MALDI‐TOF mass‐spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, and spectroelectrochemistry provided unambiguous characterization of the freshly prepared bis‐phthalocyanines, and also revealed intrinsic peculiarities in the structure–property relationship, which were supported by theoretical calculations. Unexpected NMR activity of the paramagnetic dysprosium complex 2 b in the neutral π‐radical form was observed and examined as well.     

SYNTHESIS,PROPERTIES AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF RARE EARTH COMPLEXES OF 5-FLUOROURACIL-1-PROPIONIC ACID

Abstract

Seven new solid complexes of 5-fluorouracil-1-propionic acid with rare earth metals have been synthesized. Elemental analyses, molar conductance, TG-DTA, IR, UV-Vis, fluorescence, XPS and ¹H NMR spectra have been used to characterize these complexes. The general formula of the complexes is RE(FPA)₃. nH₂O where RE = Y(III), La(III), Pr(III), Sm(III), Eu(III), Dy(III), Er(III); n=3 or 5. Prooxidative and antitumor activity of these complexes was tested. The results showed that these complexes augment free radical generation; especially the Pr³+ complex which obviously increased the O₂ ^? and OH^? radicals. It was also found that La³+ and Y³+ complexes possess antitumor effects on human colon bladder HCT-B and human leukemia HL-60 cells in vitro.     

Thermogravimetric and spectroscopic characterization of trivalent lanthanide chelates with some schiff bases

Solid complexes of two derivatives of Schiff bases SAT and SAZ with Pr(III), Nd(III), Gd(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III) and Yb(III) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis , IR spectra and TG. The suggested formula of the obtained solid complexes is [MLCl₂(H₂O)n] for sat and [MLCl (H₂O)n] for SAZ where M=trivalent lanthanide ion, L=deprotonated ligand and n=2-3. The TG gives information about the coordinated water molecules, thermal stability and the coordination number of M which was found to be 6–8. A scheme of thermal decomposition of the complexes is also proposed. Comparison of the IR spectra of the ligands with those of their complexes indicate the center of chelation in SAT and SAZ which act as tridentate ligands. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
