Novel complexes of 6‐methylpyridine‐2‐carboxylic acid and 4(5)methylimidazole, namely [Mn(6‐mpa)₂(4(5)MeI)₂] ( 1 ), [Zn(6‐mpa)₂(4(5)MeI)₂] ( 2 ), [Cd(6‐mpa)₂(4(5)MeI)₂] ( 3 ), [Co(6‐mpa)₂(4(5)MeI)₂] ( 4 ), [Ni(6‐mpa)₂(4(5)MeI)(OAc)] ( 5 ) and [Cu(6‐mpa)₂(4(5)MeI)] ( 6 ), were synthesized for the first time. The structures of complexes 1 – 4 and complexes 5 and 6 were determined using X‐ray diffraction and mass spectrometric techniques, respectively. The experimental spectral analyses for these complexes were performed using Fourier transform infrared and UV–visible techniques. The α‐glucosidase inhibition activity values (IC₅₀) of complexes 1 – 6 were identified in view of genistein reference compound. Moreover, the DFT/HSEh1PBE/6‐311G(d,p)/LanL2DZ level was used to obtain optimal molecular geometry and vibrational wavenumbers for complexes 1 – 6 . Electronic spectral behaviours and major contributions to the electronic transitions were investigated using TD‐DFT/HSEh1PBE/6‐311G(d,p)/LanL2DZ level with conductor‐like polarizable continuum model and SWizard program. Finally, in order to investigate interactions between the synthesized complexes ( 1 – 6 ) and target protein (template structure S. cerevisiae isomaltase), a molecular docking study was carried out.     

A new dinuclear copper (II) complex of 2,5–Furandicarboxyclic acid with 4(5)‐Methylimidazole as a high potential α‐glucosidase inhibitor: Synthesis,Crystal structure,Cytotoxicity study,and TD/DFT calculations

A new dinuclear copper (II) complex of 2,5–furandicarboxyclic acid with 4(5)‐methylimidazole, [Cu (FDCA)((4(5)MeI)₂]₂·2H₂O, was synthesized, and its structure characterized by XRD, FT–IR and UV–Vis spectroscopic techniques. The α‐glucosidase inhibition and cytotoxicity study of the synthesized Cu (II) complex were determined by IC₅₀ values. The optimized geometry and vibrational harmonic frequencies for the Cu (II) complex were obtained by using Density Functional Theory (DFT) of HSEh1PBE/6–311++G(d,p)/LanL2DZ level. TD‐DFT/HSEh1PBE/6–311++G(d,p)/LanL2DZ level with CPCM model was applied to examine the electronic spectral properties and major contributions were determined via Swizard program. To investigate linear and nonlinear optical behavior of the synthesized Cu (II) complex, the α, Δα and χ⁽¹⁾/β, γ and χ⁽³⁾ parameters called linear/nonlinear optical parameters in gas phase and ethanol solvent were computed at the same level and basis set. Furthermore, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface was determined by using the same level. The docking study of the Cu (II) complex to the binding site of the target protein (the template structure S. cerevisiae isomaltase) is fulfilled. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was used to investigate the hyperconjugative interactions, inter‐ and intra‐molecular bonding and to determine coordination around Cu (II) ion. Finally, present work is the first remarkable scientific report of mixed‐ligand (H₂FDCA and 4(5)MeI) Cu (II) complex as novel drug candidate for DM II. It is also determined that microscopic third?NLO parameters for the Cu (II) complex is remarkable.     

Bis(acesulfamato‐κ2O4,N)bis­(3‐methyl­pyridine)copper(II)

In the crystal structure of the title compound {systematic name: bis­[6‐methyl‐1,2,3‐oxa­thia­zin‐4(3H)‐one 2,2‐dioxide(1−)‐κ²N³,O⁴]bis­(3‐meth­yl­pyridine)copper(II)}, [Cu(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(C₆H₇N)₂], the Cu^II centre resides on a centre of symmetry and has an octa­hedral geometry that is distorted both by the presence of four‐membered chelate rings and because of the Jahn–Teller effect. The equatorial plane is formed by the N atoms of two methyl­pyridine ligands and by the more basic O atoms of the acesulfamate ligands, while the weakly basic N atoms of these ligands are in elongated axial positions with a misdirected valence. The crystal is stabilized by two inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions involving the methyl and CH groups, and the sulfonyl O atoms of the acesulfamate group.

A series of mixed-ligand M(II) complexes containing 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 3-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (3-mpaH) or 6-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (6-mpaH), namely [Co(3-mpa)₂(phen)]·3H₂O ( 1 ), [Hg(6-mpa)₂(phen)]·2H₂O ( 2 ), [Mn(6-mpa)₂(phen)]·2H₂O ( 3 ), [Co(6-mpa)₂(phen)]·H₂O ( 4 ) and [Ni(6-mpa)₂(phen)]·H₂O ( 5 ), were synthesized for the first time. Among them, 1 was obtained as single crystals. The structural characterization for 1 was conducted using X-ray diffraction and that for 2 – 5 using mass spectrometry. The IC₅₀ values for α-glucosidase inhibition of 1 – 5 were obtained as 0.161 to >600 μM. The spectral properties were also investigated using Fourier transform infrared and UV–visible spectra. Furthermore, to investigate the geometrical parameters, spectral and electronic properties and second- and third-order nonlinear optical parameters for 1 – 5 , density functional calculations were applied.     

Molecular and crystal structure of 2-{(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-[(4-Methylphenyl)imino]methyl}-4-nitrophenol: A redetermination

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₃, was recently determined as a mixture of its neutral (OH containing) and zwitterionic (NH containing) forms, in a 0.60 (4): 0.40 (4) ratio using the X-ray determination. In this study, the title compound has been characterized by FT-IR and X-ray diffraction. The redetermination showed that the title compound has only enol (OH) form because of lack of the NH stretching vibration in FT-IR spectrum. In addition, the molecular structure and tautomerism of the title compound have been discussed.     

Tri-nuclear phthalocyanine complexes carrying N/O donor ligands as hydrogen peroxide catalysts,and their bleaching activity measurements by an online spectrophotometric method

A phthalocyanine (4) with four salicylhydrazone ligating groups that are directly linked through oxygen bridges to the macrocyclic core has been synthesized by condensation of tetrakis(4-formylphenoxy)phthalocyaninato zinc(II) (3) with salicylhydrazine. Salicylhydrazine was crystallized in methanol during the synthetic procedure. The crystal structure has triclinic space group P-1 with a = 5.8292(6) Å, b = 7.3039(7) Å, c = 17.9798(18) Å, α = 84.272(8)°, β = 89.184(8)°, γ = 81.469(8)°, and Z = 4. Intramolecular O–H?O and intermolecular O–H?O, N–H?N, N–H?O hydrogen bonds were determined in the crystal structure. In addition, there is a weak C–H?π interaction. Complexation on the periphery to yield tri-nuclear Zn(II)Pcs (5–7) was performed through the reaction of a Schiff base-substituted phthalocyanine (4) with MnCl₂·4H₂O, CoCl₂·6H₂O, or Ni(OAc)₂ salts. Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV–Vis, ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy), mass spectroscopies, and elemental analyses were applied to characterize the prepared compounds. Bleach catalyst activity of the prepared phthalocyanine complexes (5–7) was examined by the degradation of morin and curcumin, respectively. The catalysts had better activity for color removing in solutions at ambient temperature than to that of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED).
