Molecular and Supramolecular Structures of a Nickel(II)–Copper(II)–Nickel(II) Trinuclear Complex Containing a New Macrocyclic Oxamido Complex Ligand

The title complex, [Cu(NiL)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, has been obtained by self-assembly, where [NiL] is a new macrocyclic oxamido complex ligand. In the crystal, a new kind of supramolecular interaction between the carbon atoms of the oxamido group of each [NiL] complex ligand in a [Cu(NiL)₂(H₂O)₂]^{2 +} cation and the oxygen atom of one of the ester carbonyls of another [Cu(NiL)₂(H₂O)₂]^{2 +} cation, and C—HO, O—HO and interactions are observed and link the trinuclear fragments and perchlorate ions to form a 3D supramolecular network.     

Quartz-crystal microbalance immunosensor for Schistsoma-japonicum-infected rabbit serum.

A quartz-crystal microbalance immunosensor (QCM) has been developed for the direct determination of Schistosoma-japonicum-infected rabbit serum. A self-assembled monolayer with carboxyl groups was first coated on a gold electrode of a quartz-crystal resonator by the spontaneous adsorption of 3-mercaptopropionic acid. Schistosoma-japonicum molecular antigen of 32 kD molecular weight was then covalently attached to the crystal surface. The QCM immunosensor was used to detect infected rabbit serum (IRS49-2000); a maximum titer of 1:800 was achieved.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of copper(Ⅱ)-lanthanoid(Ⅲ) binuclear complexes with N,N''''-bis(3-aminopropyl) oxamido ligand

Six novel u-oxamido binuclear complexes, namely Cu(oxpn)Ln(L)2(ClO4)3 (Ln: Eu, Gd, Tb, Nd, Ho, Er), where oxpn is N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl) oxamido, L denotes 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (abbreviated as NO2-phen), have been synthesized and characterized. The magnetic susceptibility of complexes Cu(oxpn)Gd(NO2-phen)2(ClO4)3.2H2O was measured over the 4-300 K and the observed data were successfully simulated by equation based on spin Hamil-tonian operator (H = -2JS1.S2), giving the exchange integral J(Cu-Gd)=-1.62 cm-1. This indicates a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the Cu(Ⅱ) and Gd(Ⅲ) ions.

Novel Assembly of a Cyanide-Bridged Copper(II)–Nickel(II) Binuclear Complex with a Copper(II) Macrocyclic Ligand

Abstract  

A mononuclear fragment [Cu(L)Cl]ClO₄ (1) and a cyano-bridged Cu^II–Ni^II binuclear complex [CuL][Ni(CN)₄]·0.25H₂O (2) (L = 1,3,6,8,11,14-hexaazatricyclo[12.2.1.18,11]-octadecane), have been prepared and characterized. X-ray single crystal analyses indicate that the both complexes crystallize in the monoclinic crystalline system. The complex of 1 in P1n1 space group with unit cell constants a = 6.1176(6) ?, b = 11.9147(10) ?, c = 12.2041(12) ?, β = 98.816(5)° and 2 in the P2₁/n space group with unit cell constants a = 8.1419(13) ?, b = 14.695(2) ?, c = 16.863(3) ?, β = 98.375(2)° have been revealed. The complex 2 assumes a binuclear structure in which the nickel(II) ion is in a square planar environment and the copper(II) is in a square-prism geometry environment.     

Synthesis, DNA binding, photo-induced DNA cleavage and cytotoxicity studies of europium(III) complexes

Two Eu(III) complexes, [Eu(acac)(3)(dpq)] (1) and [Eu(acac)(3)(dppz)] CH(3)OH (2) {viz. acetylacetonate (acac), dipyrido[3,2-d:20,30-f]quinoxaline (dpq), dipyrido[3,2-a:20,30-c] phenazine (dppz)}, have been synthesized and their DNA binding, photo-induced DNA cleavage activity and cell cytotoxicity are studied. The complexes display significant binding propensity to the calf thymus DNA in the order: 2(dppz) >1(dpq). Cleavage experiments using pBR322 supercoiled DNA suggest major groove binding for 2 and minor groove binding for 1. The mechanistic aspects on natural light (natural light in room during the day) and UV-A (365 nm) irradiation are via a mechanistic pathway involving formation of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radical as the reactive species. The photo-induced DNA cleavage activity of 2 is also stronger than 1. The cytotoxicity of 1 and 2 against HeLa (cervical) cancer cells show that the IC(50) value of 19.11 ± 3.56 μM and 17.95 ± 5.47 μM, respectively.

Synthesis neutral rare earth complexes of diethylenetriamine-N,N'-bis(acetyl-isoniazid)-N,N',N'-triacetic acid as potential contrast enhancement agents for magnetic resonance imaging

A novel ligand, diethylenetriamine-N,N'-bis(acetyl-isoniazid)-N,N',N'-triacetic acid (H(3)L) has been synthesized from diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) and isoniazid. Ligand and its five neutral rare earth (RE=La, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb) complexes holding promise of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, molar conductivity, (1)H-NMR spectrum, FAB-MS, TG-DTA analysis and IR spectrum. The relaxivity (R(1)) of complexes and Gd(DTPA)(2-) used as a control were determined. The relaxivity of LaL, SmL, EuL, GdL, TbL and Gd(DTPA)(2-) were 0.14, 1.66, 3.14, 6.08, 2.79 and 4.34 l.mmol(-1).s(-1), respectively. The spin-lattice relaxivity of GdL was larger than that of Gd(DTPA)(2-). The relaxivity of GdL had also been investigated in human serum albumin (HSA) solution, the relaxivity of GdL was enhanced from 6.08 l.mmol(-1).s(-1) in water solution to 9.09 l.mmol(-1).s(-1) in HSA solution. In addition, thermodynamics stability constant of GdL complex was determined, the thermodynamic stability constant of GdL complex (K(GdL)=10(20.84)) was a few larger than that of Gd(DTPA)(2-) (K(Gd-DTPA)=10(20.73)). The results showed that complex of GdL may be a prospective MRI contrast agent with low osmotic pressure due to non-ion complex, high spin-lattice relaxivity, good stability and binding affinity for the serum protein.
