Copper(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) complexes with a bulky anthracene-based carboxylic ligand: syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties

To systematically explore the influence of the bulky aromatic ring skeleton with a large conjugated pi-system on the structures and properties of their complexes, six CuII, CoII, and NiII complexes with the anthracene-based carboxylic ligand anthracene-9-carboxylic acid (HL1), were synthesized and characterized, sometimes incorporating different auxiliary ligands: [Cu2(L1)4(CH3OH)2](CH3OH) (1), [Cu4(L1)6(L2)4](NO3)2(H2O)2 (2), {[Cu2(L1)4(L3)](CH3OH)0.25}infinity (3), [Co2(L1)4(L4)2(micro-H2O)](CH3OH) (4), {[Co(L1)2(L5)(CH3OH)2]}infinity (5), and {[Ni(L1)2(L5)(CH3OH)2]}infinity (6) (L2 = 2,2'-bipyridine, L3 = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, L4 = 1,10-phenanthroline, and L5 = 4,4'-bipyridine). 1 has a dinuclear structure that is further assembled to form a one-dimensional (1D) chain and then a two-dimensional (2D) network by the C-H...O H-bonding and pi...pi stacking interactions jointly. 2 takes a tetranuclear structure due to the existence of the chelating L2 ligand. 3 possesses a 1D chain structure by incorporating the related auxiliary ligand L3, which is further interlinked via interchain pi...pi stacking, resulting in a three-dimensional (3D) network. 4 also has a dinuclear structure and then forms a higher-dimensional supramolecular network through intermolecular pi...pi stacking and/or C-H...pi interactions. 5 and 6 are isostructural complexes, except they involve different metal ions, showing 1D chain structures, which are also assembled into 2D networks from the different crystallographic directions by interchain pi...pi stacking and C-H...pi interactions, respectively. The results reveal that the steric bulk of the anthracene ring in HL1 plays an important role in the formation of 1-6. The magnetic properties of the complexes were investigated, and the very long intermetallic distances result in weak magnetic coupling, with the exception of 1 and 3, which adopt the typical paddle-wheel structure of copper acetate and are thus strongly coupled.     

Chromium(III), manganese(II), iron(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with a pentadentate, 15-membered new macrocyclic ligand

Complexes of Cr^III, Mn^II, Fe^III, Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II containing a macrocyclic pentadentate nitrogen–sulphur donor ligand have been prepared via reaction of a pentadentate ligand (N₃S₂) with transition metal ions. The N₃S₂ ligand was prepared by [1 + 1] condensation of 2,6-diacetylpyridine with 1,2-di(o-aminophenylthio(ethane. The structures of the complexes have been elucidated by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, i.r., electronic and e.p.r. spectral studies. The complexes are of the high spin type and are six-coordinate.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of new complexes between glycine and titanium(III), vanadium(III), chromium(III), iron(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

Summary Complexes of formula [MCl₃(glyH)₃] (M=Ti, V and Fe) [CrCl₃(glyH)₂H₂O], [MCl₂(glyH)₂(H₂O)₂] (M=Co and Cu) and [NiCl₂(glyH)₃H₂O] have been prepared and characterized by potentiometric curves, chemical analysis, magnetic properties, i.r. and electronic spectral data.     

Supramolecular cobalt(II) complexes: syntheses,crystal structures and solvent effects

Two Co^II complexes, namely {[CoL(MeOH)(μ-OAc)]₂Co}·2MeCN·2MeOH (1) and {[CoL(EtOH)(μ-OAc)]₂Co}·3EtOH (2) (H₂L=3,3′-dimethoxy-2,2′-[(1,3-propylene)dioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Both complexes contain octahedral coordination geometries, comprising three Co^II atoms, two deprotonated bisoxime L²⁻ units in which four μ-phenoxo oxygen atoms form two [CoL(X)] (X = MeOH or EtOH) units, two acetate ligands coordinated to three Co^II centers through Co–O–C–O–Co bridges, and coordinated and non-coordinated solvent. Both complexes exhibit 2D supramolecular networks through different intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions.     

Synthesis and characterisation of complexes of iron(II,III), cobalt(II,III) and nickel(II) with dinitrosoresorcinol

Summary Complexes of Fe^II, Fe^III, Co^II, Co^III and Ni^II with dinitroso resercinol (DNR) have been isolated and characterised. Ni studies showed that the metals are coordinated to the oxygens of one hydroxyl and one nitroso group, the second hydroxyl and nitroso groups remaining uncoordinated. The magnetic moments of the Fe^II and Ni^II complexes are commensurate with tetrahedral (or disorted octahedral) structures, while the others are ocahedral, however, the electronic spectra suggest ocahedral stereochemistries for all the complexes.     

Thermoanalytical investigations of 4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioic acid ligand and its iron(III), cobalt(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes

The thermal decomposition studies on 4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioic acid ligand (4-MPipzcdtH) and its complexes, viz. [M(4-MPipzcdtH)_n](ClO4)_n (M=Fe(III) when n=3; M=Co(II), Cu(II) when n=2) and [Zn(4-MPipzcdtH)₂]Cl₂ have been carried out using non-isothermal techniques (TG and DTA). Initial decomposition temperatures (IDT), indicate that thermal stability is influenced by the change of central metal ion. Free acid ligand exhibits single stage decomposition with a sharp DTA endotherm. Complexes, [M(4-MPipzcdtH)_n](ClO₄)_n undergo single stage decomposition with detonation and give rise to very sharp exothermic DTA curves while the complex [Zn(4-MPipzcdtH)₂]Cl₂ shows three-stage decomposition patterns. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, viz. the energy of activation E, the frequency factor A, entropy of activation S and specific rate constant k, etc. have been evaluated from TG data using Coats and Redfern equation. Based upon the results of the differential thermal analysis study, the [M(4-MPipzcdtH)_n](ClO₄)_n complexes have been found to possess characteristic of high energy materials.     

Solubilities of salts of cobalt(III), chromium(III), and iron(II) complexes in aqueous methanol; transfer chemical potentials of anions

Summary We report solubilities of a variety of salts of cobalt(III), chromium(III), and iron(II) complexes in methanol-water mixtures at 298.2K. From these solubilities and published transfer chemical potentials for the complex cations we are able to derive transfer chemical potentials for such anions as nitrate, thiosulphate, peroxodisulphate, dithionate, thiocyanate, and antimonyl tartrate. Transfer chemical potentials for several hexahalogenometallate anions, and tetrachloroplatinate(II), are derived from published solubilities. A comparative picture of transfer chemical potentials for anions is thus available, with the transition metal complex anions in the overall context of anions and their solvation characteristics in methanol-water mixtures.On leave from the Faculty of Science, Sohag, Egypt.     

Synthesis,structures, and characterization of copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(III) metal complexes derived from an asymmetric bidentate Schiff-base ligand

An asymmetric bidentate Schiff-base ligand (2-hydroxybenzyl-2-furylmethyl)imine (L–OH) was prepared. Three complexes derived from L–OH were synthesized by treating an ethanolic solution of the appropriate ligand with an equimolar amount of metallic salt. Three complexes, Cu₂(L–O^?)₂Cl₂ (1), Ni(L–O^?)₂ (2) and Co(L–O^?)₃ (3), have been structurally characterized through elemental analysis, IR, UV spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows metal ions and ligands reacted with different proportions 1?:?1, 1?:?2 and 1?:?3, respectively, so copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(III) have different geometries.     

Copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of 4-cyanobenzonic acid: syntheses, crystal structures and spectral properties

Three new metal complexes, Cu(4-Hcba)₂(4-cba)₂(Py)₂ (4-Hcba=4-cyanobenzoic acid) 1 and M[H(4-cba)₂]₂(Py)₂ (M=Ni 2, Co 3), have been prepared by the treatment of 4-Hcba with the respective metal nitrate M(NO₃)₂ (M=Cu, Ni, Co) in the presence of pyridine (Py). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses (3 is isostructural to 2) show that the obtained complexes are of isolated mononuclear and the metal atoms have distorted octahedral coordination environment. Two different types of intramolecular hydrogen bonds exist: asymmetrical O–HO for 1 and symmetrical OHO for 2 and 3. The crystal packing between the molecular complexes is controlled mainly by T-shaped C–Hπ interactions between pyridine and phenyl rings. Preliminary discussions on IR, UV–VIS and fluorescent spectra have also been carried out.     

Spectroscopic approach in characterization of chromium(III), manganese(II), iron(III) and copper(II) complexes with a nitrogen donor tetradentate, 14-membered azamacrocyclic ligand

The complexes of Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III) and Cu(II) were synthesized with the macrocyclic ligand i.e. 2,3,9,10-tetraketo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane. The ligand was prepared by the [2 + 2] condensation reaction of diethyloxalate and 1,3-diamino propane. These complexes were found to have the general composition M(L)X3 and M'(L)X2 [where M = Mn(II) and Cu(II), M' = Cr(III) and Fe(III), L = ligand (N4) and X = Cl-, NO3-, 1/2SO4(2-) and [CH3COO-]. The ligand and its transition metal complexes were characterized by the elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, mass, IR, electronic, and EPR spectral studies. On the basis of IR, electronic and EPR spectral studies an octahedral geometry has been assigned for Cr(III), Mn(II) and Fe(III) and a tetragonal geometry for Cu(II) complexes.

Transition metal complexes [Fe(HL)₂]Cl₃ ? 1.5H₂O (1), [Co(L)₂] ? ClO₄ ? H₂O (2), Ni(HL)₂(ClO₄)₂ ? 2H₂O (3), Zn(HL)L ? BF₄ ? 2H₂O (4), and Cd(HL)₂(ClO₄)₂ ? 2H₂O (5), where HL = C₇H₉N₅S, 2-acetylpyrazine thiosemicarbazone, have been synthesized. Complex 2 was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, mass spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Preliminary in vitro screening showed that 1, 4, and 5 exhibit higher antitumor activity than 2 and 3 against K562 leucocythemia cancer cell line.

A mononuclear octahedral configuration is proposed for all complexes studied.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of chromium(III), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes with phenylhydrazonoamidoxime

Summary Mononuclear complexes of chromium(III), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) derived from 3-oxo-2-phenylhydrazonobutane1-carbamidoxime (OPCA) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic and i.r. studies. The chromium(III) and nickel(II) ions form 1:2 complexes, whereas cobalt(II) forms a 1:1 complex in which the ligand chelates through the nitrogen of the amidoxime and the carbonyl oxygen. An octahedral structure is assigned to these complexes and the ligand field parameters such as Dq, B and were calculated. The nephelexautic parameter, , has values of 0.68, 0.84 and 0.78 for the chromium(III), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes, respectively, suggesting the presence of covalent metal-ligand -bonds.     

Synthesis,characterization and susceptibility of bacteria against Sulfamethoxydiazine complexes of copper(II), zinc(II), nickel(II), cadmium(II), chromium(III) and iron(III)

Complexes of sulfamethoxydiazine with Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of conductivity measurements, elemental analyses, UV, IR, ¹H?NMR and thermal studies. It is shown that sulfamethoxydiazine behaves as a bidentate ligand, binding the metal ion through the sulfonyl oxygen and sulfonamide nitrogen. In vitro susceptibility tests of these complexes against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Proteus vulgaris and Staphylococcus aureus were carried out. The results show that the antibacterial activities of the complexes of Zn(II), Cu(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) are, in general, stronger than that of sulfamethoxydiazine, while the complexes of Cd(II) and Ni(II) are less active.     

Activation volumes for peroxodisulphate oxidation of cobalt(III), iron(II) and nickel(II) complexes

Summary Dependences of rate constants on pressure (in aqueous solution up to 1.25 kbar) are reported for peroxodisulphate oxidation of hexacyanoferrate(II), tris(2,2-bipyridyl)iron(II), tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II), bis(1,4,7-triazacyclononane)nickel(II) and bis(1,2-ethanediamine)cysteinatocobalt(III) and its thioglycollato-analogue, and for periodate oxidation of the two last-named complexes. Derived activation volumes are reported and discussed in terms of intrinsic and solvational contributions. Rate laws and pressure effects on reactivity are reported for the reaction of peroxodisulphate with pentacyanoferrates(II) containing N-alkylpyrazinium ligands.     

Complexes of 1-isonicotinoyl-4-benzoyl-3-thiosemicarbazide with manganese(II), iron(III), chromium(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II)

1-Isonicotinoyl-4-benzoyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (IBtsc) and its Cr^III, Mn^II, Fe^III, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II complexes have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, u.v.–vis., i.r., n.m.r. and FAB mass spectral data. The room temperature e.s.r. spectra of the Cr^III, Fe^III and Cu^II complexes yield values, characteristic of octahedral, tetrahedral and square-planar complexes, respectively. The Mössbauer spectra of [Fe(IBtsc-H)Cl₂] at room temperature and at 78 K suggest the presence of high-spin Fe^III. The Ni^II, Cr^III and Cu^II complexes show semiconducting behaviour in the solid state, but the Zn^II complex is an insulator at room temperature. IBtsc and its soluble complexes have been screened against several bacteria, fungi and tumour cell lines.

[Ni(II)(BAMQH)₂]Cl₂ has tetrahedral geometry. Bidentate nature of the ligand is assumed in [Ni(II)(BAMQH)₂]Cl₂ and [VO(BAMQH)₂]SO₄ complexes.     

Circular dichroism of the complexes of quinine with copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II), chromium(III) and palladium(II) chlorides

The CD spectrum of the complexesQ·2CuCl₂,Q·2CoCl₂,Q·2NiCl₂·8H₂O,Q·3CrCl₃·6H₂O,Q·PdCl₂·3H₂O andQ·2PdCl₂·5H₂O (whereQ=quinine) inDMF orDMSO solution revealsCotton effects in the d-d absorption range. TheCotton effects are relatively strong in the case of Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes which implies that only in these complexes the hydroxyl group of the quinine molecule possibly participates in the coordination with these metal ions by formation of a chelate ring. The IR spectra of the complexes of Pd(II) are discussed in this respect.

DieCotton-Effekte sind relativ stark im Falle der Cu(II)- und Pd(II)-Komplexe, was zu der Annahme führt, daß die Hydroxygruppe des Chininmoleküls in diesen Komplexen wahrscheinlich an der Koordination dieser Metallionen durch Chelatringbildung teilnimmt. Unter diesem Aspekt werden die IR-Spektren der Pd(II)-Komplexe untersucht.
