Metallophthalocyanines with rod-shaped substituents

4-(4′-Dioctylaminocarbonylbiphenyloxy) phthalonitrile was synthesized from 4-(4′-carboxybiphenyloxy)phthalonitrile and dioctylamine in the presence of Et₃N. Metallophthalocyanines (Zn, Co and Cu) substituted with four dioctylaminocarbonyl biphenyloxy groups on the peripheral positions were prepared from 4-(4′-dioctylaminocarbonylbiphenyloxy)phthalonitrile and the corresponding divalent metal salts (Zn(CH₃COO)₂, CoCl₂ and CuCl₂). The new phthalocyanines are soluble in common organic solvents. These compounds were characterised by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and mass spectroscopies.     

Synthesis and structural studies of (2E,3E)-3-[(6-{[(1E,2E)-2-(hydroxyimino)-1-methylpropylidene]amino}pyridin-2-yl)imino]butan-2-one oxime, ligand and its mono-, di- and trinuclear copper(II) complexes

A new dioxime ligand, (2E,3E)-3-[(6-{[(1E,2E)-2-(hydroxyimino)-1-methylpropylidene]amino}-pyridin-2-yl)imino]butan-2-one oxime, (H₂Pymdo) (3) has been synthesized in H₂O by reacting 2,3-butenedione monoxime (2) with 2,6-diaminopyridine. Mono-, di- and tri-nuclear copper(II) complexes of the dioxime ligand (H₂Pymdo) and/or 1,10-phenanthroline have been prepared. The dioxime ligand (H₂Pymdo) and its copper(II) complexes were characterized by ¹H-n.m.r., ¹³C-n.m.r. and elemental analyses, magnetic moments, i.r. and mass spectral studies. The mononuclear copper(II) complex of H₂Pymdo was found to have a 1:1 metal:ligand ratio. Elemental analyses, stoichiometric and spectroscopic data of the metal complexes indicated that the metal ions are coordinated to the oxime and imine nitrogen atoms (C=N). In the dinuclear complexes, in which the first Cu(II) ion was complexed with nitrogen atoms of the oxime and imine groups, the second Cu(II) ion is ligated with dianionic oxygen atoms of the oxime groups and are linked to the 1,10-phenanthroline nitrogen atoms. The trinuclear copper(II) complex (6) was formed by coordination of the third Cu(II) ion with dianionic oxygen atoms of each of two molecules of the mononuclear copper(II) complexes. The data support the proposed structure of H₂Pymdo and its Cu(II) complexes.     

Synthesis of N-(4′-Benzo[15-crown-5])biphenylaminoglyoxime and Its Complexes with Some Transition Metals

N-(4-Benzo[15-crown-5])biphenylaminoglyoxime (H₂L) and sodium chloride salt of N-(4-benzo[15-crown-5])biphenylaminoglyoxime (H₂L · NaCl) have been prepared from 4-biphenylchloroglyoxime, 4-aminobenzo[15-crown-5], and sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride. Nickel(II), cobalt(II), and copper(II) complexes with H₂L and H₂L · NaCl have a metal–ligand ratio of 1 : 2 and the ligand coordinates through the two N atoms, as do most of the vic-dioximes. Their IR spectra and elemental analyses are given, together with ¹H NMR spectra of the ligands.     

A novel (E,E)-dioxime and its mono-, di- and trinuclear complexes bearing tetradentate octyl sulfanyl phenylamino substituents. Synthesis,characterization and electrochemical properties of its transition metal complexes

A new vic-dioxime, 13,14-bis-(hydroxyimino)-9,12,15,18-diazadithiaoctacosane, has been synthesized from 2-octylsulfanylaminobenzene and (E,E)-dichloroglyoxime. Mononuclear transition metal complexes of Ni^II, Cu^II, Co^II and Fe^II have been prepared and were found to have a metal–ligand ratio of 1:2. The synthesis of di- and trinuclear complexes was achieved with U^IVO₂ and Cu^II depending on the stoichiometry of the reactants. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H-n.m.r., u.v.–vis, i.r., f.a.b.-m.s. and by cyclic voltammetry.

Their structures were elucidated by elemental analyses and spectroscopic data. All compounds were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The antimicrobial activities of the compounds were assessed by the microbroth dilution technique. The compounds were also evaluated for antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇Rv (ATCC 27294); they exhibited varying degrees of inhibition in the in vitro primary screening at 6.25 μg · cm⁻³. The most active compound was 3-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(((6-(4-bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-acetyl)-hydrazono)-4-thiazolidinone. Corresponding author.

The Synthesis of Novel Methotrexate-like Compounds

Summary. Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate antagonist used in treatment of several chronic inflammatory and neoplastic conditions. In this study, new MTX-like compounds that may-be potential anticancer agents were synthesized and their structures were determined by IR, UV, GC-MS, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectra. Also, in this study, a series structurally related to MTX or folate analogous compounds were evaluated whether they have inhibitory properties on the dihydrofolate reductase activity (DHFR).     

Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 1,4-di-(1-hydroxyimino-2-phenyl-2-oxo-ethylamino)benzene

The ligand has been prepared from ω-chloroisonitrosoacetophenone and 1,4-phenylenediamine in the presence of NaHCO₃. The ligand have a C=O group and an –NH–R group adjacent to the oxime group. The Ni(II), Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes of the synthesized ligand were prepared and their structures were identified using FTIR, UV-Vis spectral data, elemental analysis, thermal analysis and magnetic moment measurements. The metal-ligand ratios were found to be 3:2. The ligands were found to coordinate to the metal ions via the oxime nitrogen, oxime oxygen, one of the carbonyl group and amide nitrogen atoms. Thermal analyses data reveals that the water in the complexes was found to be non-coordinated to the metal ions. In the trinuclear structures, the metals have the tetrahedral environments.     

Alcohol-soluble functional vic-dioxime bearing alcoholhexylsulfanyl moieties: preparation, spectroscopy and electrochemistry

A new alcohol soluble functionalized vic-dioxime, bis-[(1-hydroxyhexyl)-(8,9-hydroxyimino)-7,10-dithiahexacosane (LH₂), and its alcohol-soluble mono and dinuclear complexes (Ni^II, Cu^II, Co^II, Mn^II, Pd^II and UO ₂ ^II ) have been prepared from 6-mercapto-1-hexanol and (E,E)-dichloroglyoxime under high dilution basic conditions. Reactive polyalcohol moieties appended at the periphery of the oxime containing two different heteroatoms (S-, O-), serve as a weak exocyclic binding sites for Pd^II and Ag^I metal ions and also provide solubility for the vic-dioxime complexes in low molecular-weight alcohols. Both mono-nuclear (LH)₂M and homodinuclear (LH)₂(UO₂)₂(OH)₂ and heterotrinuclear (LH)₂MM ₂ ^′ Xn, where M = Co^II M′ = Pd^II, X = Cl⁻, n = 4 and Ag^I X = NO ₃ ⁻ , n = 2) complexes have been obtained with a 1:2, 2:2, 3:2 metal/ligand ratio, respectively. Electronic spectra of the modified vic-dioximes exhibit monitorable changes in UV. All mono and dinuclear-complexes are soluble in common organic solvents. The elemental analysis, ¹H-n.m.r, i.r., u.v–vis, and f.a.b.–m.s data and by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry measurements are presented.
