Spectroscopic approach in the characterization of the copper(II) complexes of isatin-3,2'-quinolyl-hydrazones and their adducts

Copper(II) complexes of isatin-3,2'-quinolyl-hydrazones of the type [Cu(L)X] (where X=Cl(-), Br(-), NO(3)(-), CH(3)COO(-) and ClO(4)(-)] and their adducts Cu(L)X.2Y [where Y=pyridine or dioxane and X=Cl(-), Br(-), NO(3)(-) and ClO(4)(-)] have been synthesized under controlled experimental conditions and characterized by using the modern spectroscopic and physicochemical techniques viz. IR, electronic, EPR, elemental analysis, magnetic moment susceptibility measurements and molar conductance, etc. On the basis of spectral studies a four coordinated square planer geometry is assigned for Cu(L)X type complexes whereas the adducts (Cu(L)X.2Y were found to have a six coordinated octahedral geometry.     

Spectroscopic studies on Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with a new macrocyclic ligand: 2,9-dipropyl-3,10-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraaza-5,7:12,14-dibenzocyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-tetraene

Cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes containing a tetradentate macrocyclic nitrogen donor ligand i.e. 2,9-dipropyl-3,10-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraaza-5,7:12,14-dibenzocyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-tetraene have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moments, mass, (1)H NMR, IR, electronic and EPR spectral studies. All the complexes are of high spin type and possess four-coordinated tetrahedral, five-coordinated square pyramidal and six-coordinated octahedral/tetragonal geometry. The ligand and its metal complexes were also screened against the growth of some bacteria and plant pathogenic fungi in vitro.     

EPR, mass, IR, electronic, and magnetic studies on copper(II) complexes of semicarbazones and thiosemicarbazones

Copper(II) complexes having the general composition Cu(L)(2)X(2) [where L = isopropyl methyl ketone semicarbazone (LLA), isopropyl methyl ketone thiosemicarbazone (LLB), 4-aminoacetophenone semicarbazone (LLC), and 4-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazone (LLD) and X = Cl(-), 1/2SO(4)(2-)] have been synthesized. All the Cu(II) complexes reported here have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment susceptibility, EI mass, (1)H NMR, IR, EPR, and electronic spectral studies. All the complexes were found to have magnetic moments corresponding to one unpaired electrons. The possible geometries of the complexes were assigned on the basis of EPR, electronic, and infrared spectral studies.     

Modern spectroscopic techniques in the characterization of Schiff base macrocyclic ligand and its complexes with transition metals

Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes with a new azamacrocyclic tetradentate [N(4)] ligand i.e. 2,3,9,10-tetraphenyl;l,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca;1,3,8,10-tetraene (L) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, (1)HNMR, IR, electronic and EPR spectral studies. On the basis of their non-electrolytic nature, the probable formula of the complexes is proposed to be [M(L)X(2)], where M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II), X=Cl(-) and NO(3)(-), in dimethylformamide (DMF). All the complexes are of high-spin type and found to have six coordinated, octahedral geometry for Mn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes, and tetragonal for Cu(II) complexes. Macrocyclic ligand and its complexes have also been screened against pathogenic bacteria and fungi in vitro as growth inhibiting agent.     

Effect of collective response on electron capture and excitation in collisions of highly charged ions with fullerenes

Projectile deexcitation Lyman x-ray emission following electron capture and K excitation has been studied in collisions of bare and Li-like sulphur ions (of energy 110 MeV) with fullerenes (C(60)/C(70)) and different gaseous targets. The intensity ratios of different Lyman x-ray lines in collisions with fullerenes are found to be substantially lower than those for the gas targets, both for capture and excitation. This has been explained in terms of a model based on "solidlike" effect, namely, wakefield induced stark mixing of the excited states populated via electron capture or K excitation: a collective phenomenon of plasmon excitation in the fullerenes under the influence of heavy, highly charged ions.     

Preparation of Iodide Selective Carbon Paste Electrode with Modified Carbon Nanotubes by Potentiometric Method and Effect of CuS‐NPs on Its Response

In this research, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was oxidized and chemically modified through reaction with 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propan‐1‐amine (TMSPA) and their subsequent reaction with 2‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxy benzaldehyde. Subsequently, this material was metalized by reaction with copper acetate that lead to formation and impergeation of 2‐methoxy‐6‐((3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propylimino)methyl)phenol MMSPIMP? MWCNT‐Cu. This novel material was identified with different techniques such as SEM and FT‐IR analysis. In this work, the reported material are exhibited high accurate and repeatable monitoring of iodide due to its high surface area with various reactive centre. It exhibited selectivity for iodide over the wide linear dynamic range between 1.8×10^?6 and 1.15×10^?1 M, with a Nernstian slope of ?59.12±0.7 mV per decade of activity and detection limit of 1.8×10^?6 M. Copper sulfide nanoparticles were prepared and their effect on the electrode response was investigated. The results were improved in the presence of nanoparticles with fast and stable response, good reproducibility, long‐term stability, high selectivity over the presence of common organic and inorganic anions, high detection limit and dynamic range. The proposed sensor has been applied as potentiometric determination of some iodine species over a pH range of 2.5–10.     

Silica–PSCl3: A Mild and Efficient Reagent for Deoxygenation of Sulfoxides

A new solid supported reagent, silica–PSCl₃, has been developed for deoxygenation of sulfoxides. With this reagent, conversion of sulfoxides to sulfides occurred cleanly and efficiently at room temperature. Facile isolation of the product was achieved by simple filtration of the by‐products without any extensive workup.

Complexes of transition metals have been synthesized with hexadentate ligand (2,6-bis(((2-mercaptophenyl)thio)methyl)pyridinato)metal(II). These complexes have been synthesized via the two step template reaction by using the benzene dithiol, 2,6-bis(chloro)methyl pyridine and corresponding metal salt as key raw materials. The structures of the complexes have been elucidated on the basis of elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, electronic and EPR spectral studies. All of the complexes were found to possess six-coordinated geometry and are of high spin type.
