New quadridentate ONNS ligands and their metal complexes

Summary Two new quadridentate sulphur-nitrogen chelating agents have been prepared and characterized. These ligands yield stable complexes of general formulae, M(ONNS)·xH₂O (M=Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pd and Pt; ONNS^–2=ligand dianion; x=0, 1 or 2) and M(ONNS)X (M=Co or Fe; X=Cl or AcO). The nicke(II) complexes are diamagnetic and squareplanar. Based on magnetic and spectral data a square-planar structure is also assigned to the copper(II) complexes. The iron(III) complexes, Fe(ONNS)Cl are high-spin and five-coordinate. Magnetic and spectral evidence support an octahedral structure for the cobalt(III) complex, Co(ONNS)OAc.     

The vibrational spectra of complexes with planar monothio-oxamides—I. The Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of N,N′-dimethylmonothio-oxamide

The new complexes M(LH)₂ (M = Pd,Pt), ML(M = Pd,Cu) and ML · H₂O (M = Ni,Zn), where LH₂ = N,N′-dimethylmonothio-oxamide, have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by metal analyses, thermal methods and spectral (i.r., Raman, u.v.—vis.) studies. The vibrational analyses of the complexes are given using NH/ND, CH₃/CD₃ and metal isotopic substitutions. The Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II) and Cu(II) compounds are square planar. The monoanion LH⁻ shows a chelated bidentate S,O-coordination, while the doubly deprotonated L²⁻ acts as a bridging S,N/N,O-tetradentate ligand giving polymeric structures.     

Interaction of SO2 with unsaturated Schiff-base complexes; thermal,magnetic, and spectroscopic studies

A series of Schiff-base complexes are prepared and characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, IR and electronic spectra, and magnetic measurements. SO₂ interacted with solutions of the complexes forming complexes [M(SB)(SO₂)₂] where M = Mg(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), and [M(SB)(SO₂)₂]OH where M = Fe(III). These complexes are subjected to elemental and thermal analyses, conductance measurements and IR, electronic, and ESR spectra to indicate changes from interaction of SO₂ with the Schiff-base complexes.     

Structural studies of metal complexes containing amide ligands

Complexes of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Pd(II) with di-N-phenyl pyromellitic diimide (PhPMDI) and di-N-pyridyl pyromellitic diimide (PyPMDI) were prepared and characterized based on analytical, molar conductance, magnetic, IR, PMR, electronic and ESR data. Based on analytical and molar conductance, the complexes have been formulated as [M(PhPMDA)(H₂O)₂]_n (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni), [Cu(PhPMDA)]_n [Pd₂(PhPMDA)Cl₂(H₂O)₂], [M(PyPMDA)]_n (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) and [Pd₂(PyPMDA)Cl₂] In all these complexes PhPMDA acts as a mononegative bidentate ligand whereas PyPMDA acts as a mononegative tridentate one in the form of amide rather than imide. The geometries of the complexes have been proposed based on the electronic spectra. The various bonding parameters have been calculated from the ESR spectra of Cu(II) complexes.     

Chelate complexes of some NNO tridentate Schiff bases with iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

Summary The Schiff bases a-(C₅H₄N)CMe=NNHCOR (R = Ph, 2-thienyl or Me), prepared by condensation of 2-acetylpyridine with the acylhydrazines RCONHNH₂, coordinate in the deprotonated iminol form to yield the octahedral complexes, M[NNO]₂ M = Co or Ni; [NNOH] = Schiff base and the square-planar complexes, Pd[NNO]Cl. The Schiff bases also coordinate in the neutral keto form yielding the octahedral complexes (M[NNOH]2)Z2 (M = Ni, Co or Fe; Z = C104, BF₄ or N03) and complexes of the type M[NNOH]X2 (M = Ni, Co, Fe or Cu; X = Cl, Br or NCS). Spectral and x-ray diffraction data indicate that the complexes M[NNOH]X2 (M = Ni or Fe) are polymeric octahedral, as are the corresponding cobalt complexes having R = 2-thienyl. However, the cobalt complexes Co[NNOH]X2 (X = CI or Br; R = Ph or Me) and the copper complexes Cu[NNOH]CI₂ (R = Ph, 2-thienyl or Me) are five-coordinate, while the thiocyanato complex Co[NNOH](NCS)₂ (R = 2-thienyl) is tetrahedral.     

Reactions of 2-pyrrole-[N-(o-hydroxyphenyl)aldimine] with metal ions

The Schiff-base 2-pyrrole-[N-(o-hydroxyphenyl)aldimine] has been synthesized by the condensation of 2-pyrrolecarboxaldehyde and o-aminophenol. Its reactions with several metal ions have been investigated. The Schiff-base behaved either as a bidentate monoaionic ligand with the pyrrole nitrogen intact and uninvolved in bonding to the metal, or as a tridentate dianion using the pyrrolate deprotonated nitrogen, the azomethine nitrogen and the phenolate oxygen in bonding. Thus complexes of Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺, Pd²⁺ and Pt²⁺ were synthesized with the ligand as a tridentate dianion; and complexes of Cu²⁺, Fe³⁺ and Co³⁺ were obtained with the Schiff-base behaving as a bidentate monoanion.     

Preparation and characterization of some transition metal complexes of benzoic acid hydrazones of 2-aminonicotinaldehyde

Summary Cu^II, Ni^II, Co^II, Zn^II and Pd^II complexes of tridentate Schiff base ligands derived from the condensation of benzoic acid hydrazides with 2-aminonicotinaldehyde have been prepared and characterized. For M=Cu, Ni, Co and Zn the complexes were formulated as [M(ligand)(H₂O)X] (X=Cl, Br), with a distorted octahedral geometry and tridentate Schiff base ligands. The Pd complexes were formulated as Pd(ligand)Cl₂, with square planar geometries and bidentate Schiff base ligands. The e.s.r. spectra of the Cu^II complexes are discussed.     

Dinuclear Pd(II) and Rh(I) complexes of tetra-acetylethane: Linkage isomerization of tetra-acetylethane dianion in Pd(II) complexes

The Pd(II) and Rh(I) complexes of tetra-acetylethane [H₂dahd (3,4-diacetyl-2,4-hexadiene-2,5-diol)] with O,O′-bonded chelates, represented as [M₂(O₂,O′₂-dahd)(L₂)₂][X]_m {M = Pd, L₂ = (PPh₃)₂ or bdpe [1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane], X = BF₄ or PF₆, m = 2; M = Rh, L = Co, m = 0}, have recently been prepared. [Pd₂(O₂,O′₂-dahd)-(PPh₃)₄][PF₆]₂ reacts with the potentially bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) to give the five-coordinate complex [Pd(PPh₃)(phen)₂][PF₆]₂ and [Pd(O₁,O′₁-dahd)(phen)]_n, the latter of which is rather insoluble in organic solvents. [Pd(O₁, O′₁-dahd)(phen)]_n in CH₂Cl₂ readily transforms to a monomer complex [Pd(C³, O′-dahd)phen)]. These anomalous Pd(II) and Rh(I) complexes of the tetra-acetylethane dianion have been characterized from elemental analyses, conductance, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility and ESR spectroscopy.     

Magnetic and spectral studies on N-(thiophene-2-carboxamido)salicylaldimine complexes of some bivalent 3d metal ions

Metal(II) complexes of N-(thiophene-2-carboxamido)salicylaldimine (H₂TCS) of types M(H₂TCS)₂Cl₂ [M = Ni, Cu and Zn], M(HTCS)Cl [M = Co, Ni and Cu], M(HTCS)₂ [M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn], M(TCS)·xH₂O [M = Mn, Co and Ni, x = 2; M = Cu, x = 0], Ni(TCS)py₂ and Cu(TCS)py have been prepared. Elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, electronic, IR and ESR spectral studies have been used to characterize these complexes. The different modes of chelation of the ligand and the stereochemistry of the complexes are discussed.     

Transition metal complexes of the Schiff base derived from S-methyldithiocarbazate with 2-aminobenzaldehyde

Summary New complexes of general formula [M(NNS)X] (NNS⁻ = anion of the Schiff base of 2-aminobenzaldehyde with S-methyldithiocarbazate; M = Ni, Cu, Pd or Pt; X = Cl, Br, I, NCS, NO₃ or AcO), [Ni(NNS)(HNNS)]NO₃ and [Co(NNS)₂]Cl were prepared and characterised. The magnetic and spectral evidence suggests a square-planar structure for the mono-ligated complexes and an octahedral structure for the bis-chelated complexes. The copper(II) complexes have been shown to display high antifungal activities against the pathogenic fungi, Alternaria alternata and Curvularia geniculata.     

Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole

Summary Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole Ni(DTZ)X₂ (X = Cl or Br) and M(DTZ)₂X₂ (M = Ni, X = 1 or N03; M = Cu, X = Cl, Br or NO₃) have been prepared. The i.r. spectra show that in all the complexes the ligand is N,N- or N-bonded to the metal while the sulfur atom does not participate in coordination, and that the halide ions are coordinated forming terminal M-X bonds. The NO ₃ ^- group is coordinated in both the nitrato complexes. Magnetic moments of 3.07–3.29 B.M. for the nickel(II) and 1.86–1.92 B.M. for the copper(II) complexes were observed. The Ni(DTZ)X₂ complexes have a pseudo-tetrahedral [N₂X₂] coordination with N,N-bridging ligand molecules. The Ni(DTZ)₂X₂ and Cu(DTZ)₂X₂ complexes, with predominantly monodentate ligand, involve six-coordinate metal atoms with strong equatorial [N₂X₂] bonds and weaker axial bonds.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.     

Coordination compounds of cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc with thiosemicarbazone and 3-phenylpropenal semicarbazone

Hydrates of 3-phenylpropenal thiosemicarbazone (HL·H₂O) and semicarbazone (HL′·H₂O) react in methanol with cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc chlorides, nitrates, and acetates to form coordination compounds MX₂·2HL·nSolv [M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; X = Cl, NO₃; HL = C₆H₅CH=CH-CH=N-NHC(O)NH₂; n = 0–3; Solv = H₂O, CH₃OH], CuX₂·HL·nH₂O [M = Ni, Cu; n = 0, 1], ML₂·nH₂O and ML′·nH₂O [M = Co, Ni, Zn; HL′ = C₆H₅CH=CH-CH=N-NHC(O)NH₂; n = 0–3]. In the presence of amines (A = C₅H₅N, 2-CH₃C₅H₄N, 3-CH₃C₅H₄N, and 4-CH₃C₅H₄N) these reactions yield the complexes Cu(A)LCl·CH₃OH and M(A)LX·nH₂O [M = Cu, Ni; X = Cl, NO₃; n = 0–2]. The copper complexes with the amine ligands are of polynuclear structure, and other complexes are monomeric. Carbazones (HL and HL′) are included in the complexes as bidentate N,S-and N,O-ligands. The thermolysis of the complexes involves the stages of removing solvent crystallization molecules (70–90°C), deaquation (150–170°C), and full thermal decomposition (500–580°C).     

The vibrational spectra of complexes with planar monothio-oxamides—II. Complexes of N(s)-methylmonothio-oxamide

The new complexes Pd(SH₂)₂ · H₂O, M(SH) · H₂O (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) and M(SH) · 0.5H₂O (M = Cu, Zn), where SH₃ = N_(s)-methylmonothio-oxamide, have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by metal analyses, thermal methods and i.r., Raman and u.v./vis spectroscopic studies. The vibrational analyses of the complexes are given using NH/ND, CH₃/CD₃ and metal isotopicsubstitutions. The Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II) and Cu(II) compounds are square planar. The vibrational spectra show that in Pd(SH₂)₂ · H₂O the coordination occurs via the sulphur atom of the deprotonated thioamide group and the oxygen atom of the neutral primary amide group, in a bidentate chelated fashion. The doubly deprotonated SH²⁻ ion behaves as a bridging bis-bidentate ligand giving polymeric structures.     

Complexes of metal ions with phosphorus or arsenic containing ligands. Part XVIII. Chelates ofo-phenylenebis(diarylarsines) with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) halides and pseudohalides

Summary Ten complexes of nickel(II) and cobalt(II) witho-phenylenebis(diphenylarsine), (pdpa) ando-phenylenebis(di-p-tolylarsine), (pdta) have been synthesised. The stoichiometry of complexes is markedly dependent upon the reaction temperature, thus reaction atca. 0° gives the M(A-A)₂X₂ chelates, [M = Ni, X = Br, (A-A) = pdpa; M = Ni, X = I, (A-A) = pdpa, pdta; M = Co, X = CNS, (A-A) = pdpa] whereas at higher temperatures the M(A-A)X₂ chelates [M = Ni, X = Br, I, (A-A) = pdpa, pdta; M = Co, X = CNS, (A-A) = pdpa or pdta] are obtained. The Ni(A-A)₂I₂ compounds can be converted into Ni(A-A)I₂ by boiling under reflux in n-BuOH; the conversion can be reversed by cooling a CH₂Cl₂ solution of the latter at or below 0°. Stereochemical assignments of all the new complexes have been made on the basis of room temperature _eff values, molar conductance, i.r. and u.v. data.     

Thermal analysis of flammability

The present article describes the synthesis, structural features and thermal studies of the complexes of the type [M(SB)₂(H₂O)₂]·nH₂O [where HSB=pyridine-m-carboxaldene-o-aminobenzoic acid and M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)]. The complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, (FTIR and electronic) spectra and thermal studies. The nature of the bonding has been discussed on the basis of infrared spectral data. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectral data suggest a six-coordinated structure of these complexes. The complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) are paramagnetic, while Zn(II) and Cd(II) are diamagnetic in nature. The thermal decomposition of the complexes have been studied and indicates that not only the crystallization and coordinated water are lost but also that the decomposition of the ligand from the complexes is necessary to interpret the successive mass losses. The kinetic parameters such as order of reaction (n) and the energy of activation (E _a) have been reported using Freeman–Carroll method. The entropy (S*), the pre-exponential factor (A), the enthalpy (H*) and the Gibbs free energy (G*) have been calculated.     

Structural and Antimicrobial Studies of Some Divalent Transition Metal Complexes with Some New Symmetrical Bis (7-Formylanil Substituted-Sulfoxine) Schiff Base Ligands

Symmetrical bis (7-formyanil substituted-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid), Schiff bases, react with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions to give M_nL (n=1, 2) complexes as established by conductometric titration in 1 : 1 DMF: H₂O. The complexes were identified by elemental analyses, molecular weight determination, thermal analysis, infrared, magnetic moments, electronic absorption, and electron spin resonance spectra. The suggested general geometry for these complexes may have a tetrahedral crystal structure and the general formula is [M₂L(OH₂4], where M(II) = Co, Ni and Cu and L = 7―X―H₂ L(―X―= dimethyl, p-phenyl, o-phenyl), while for the, trimethyl, ligand and the tetrahedral crystal structure has the general formula [M₂L(OH₂)₂].Antimicrobial activity of these ligands and their transition metal complexes has been investigated on some common fungi and bacteria. A considerable increase in the biocide acticity of these ligands has been observed on coordination with transition metal ions, therefore, these complexes can be used in the chemotherapy of candidiaces and other fungal skin diseases.     

The infrared spectra of ethylenediamine complexes—II. Tris-, bis- and mono(ethylenediamine) complexes of metal(II) halides

The i.r. spectra of the complexes M(en)₃X₂ (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn), trans-Cu(en)₂X₂, Ni(en)₂X₂ and M(en)X₂ (M = Ni, Cu, Zn; X = Cl, Br, I) have been studied. Assignments are proposed for the tris(ethylenediamine) complexes on the basis of ¹⁵N-, N₂D₄- and C₂D₄-labelling of en and the effects of metal ion substitution in relation to our earlier study of [M(en)₃]SO₄ complexes. Assignments for the bis(ethylenediamine) complexes are based on our observations of halogen-sensitivity and earlier studies on metal isotope labelling and ligand deuteration of the halide complexes and a normal coordinate analysis of the [Cu(en)₂]²⁺ species. The spectra of the halide complexes have been extended below 200 cm⁻¹ for the first time. Finally, the spectra of the mono(ethylenediamine) complexes are discussed in relation to their known or probable structures.

The ligand is always tetradentate. With cobalt and nickel six-coordinate compounds are formed. With copper and zinc five-coordinate compounds are formed. The compounds have been characterized by spectroscopic and magnetic methods (IR, ligand field, ESR and NMR).

Summary New complexes of the general formulae [ML_A(H₂O)₂]-Cl₂ (M=Ni or Cu), [ML_AX₂] (M=Co or Cu; X=Cl or Br), [NiL_ABr₂]·H₂O, [ML_A] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), [NiL_B(H₂O)₂]Cl₂·2H₂O, [ML_BCl₂] (M=Co, Ni, Cu, Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) and [ML_B] [MCl₄] (M=Pd or Pt), where L_A=N,N-ethylenebis(2-acetylpyridine imine) and L_B=N, N-ethylenebis(2-benzoylpyridine imine), have been isolated. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, t.g./d.t.g. methods, magnetic susceptibilities and spectroscopic (i.r., far-i.r., ligand field,¹Hn.m.r.) studies. Monomeric pseudo-octahedral stereochemistries for the Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II complexes andcis square planar structures for the compounds [ML_BX₂] (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br) are assigned in the solid state. The molecules L_A and L_B behave as tetradentate chelate ligands in the Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Magnus-type Pd^II and Pt^II complexes, bonding through both the pyridine and methine nitrogen atoms. A bidentateN-methine coordination of the Schiff base L_B is assigned in the [ML_BX₂] complexes (M=Pd or Pt; X=Cl or Br). The anomalous magnetic moment values of the Co^II complexes are discussed.
