Synthesis,Characterization, and Semi-Empirical Study of Organotin(IV) Complexes with 4-(Hydroxymethyl)piperidine-1-carbodithioic Acid: X-Ray Structure of Chlorodimethyl-(4-hydroxymethyl piperidine-1-carbodithioato-S,S′)tin(IV)

Abstract

Organotin complexes with the general formulae R₂SnL₂, R₂Sn(Cl)L, and R₃SnL have been synthesized where R = CH₃, n-C₄H₆, C₆H₅, C₆H₁₁, and L = 4-(hydroxy methyl)piperidine-1-carbodithioic acid. The newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn), and, for one example, a single crystal x-ray structure. The FT-IR data shows the bidentate nature of the ligand. This coordination behavior is also confirmed by semi-empirical study. In the solid state, diorganotin complexes exhibit the penta/hexacoordinated geometry, whereas the triorganotin(IV) complexes show the five coordinated geometry. ¹¹⁹Sn NMR data reveal that triorganotin(IV) complexes exhibit the four coordinated geometry in solution, whereas the diorganotin(IV) compounds show the higher coordination, probably five or six. X-ray diffraction analysis of complex (2) shows a square pyramidal geometry around the tin atom on the basis of τ value.

Photodynamic effect in near-IR light by a photocytotoxic iron(III) cellular imaging agent

A red light for cancer cells: an iron(III) complex (1, see picture) that contains an anthracenyl fluorophore moiety and a catecholate ligand is a potent, metal-based PDT agent that efficiently photocleaves DNA in near-infrared light, has significant nuclear uptake, and high photocytotoxicity in red light by an apoptotic pathway in HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cells.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity of Methyleneamine‐Linked Bis‐heterocycles

A new class of methyleneamine‐linked bis‐heterocycles that exhibit antimicrobial activity was synthesized. Bromination of 1 followed by condensation with thiourea gave 3 . The reaction of 3 with propargyl bromide in dry toluene under inert atmosphere led to the formation of 4 . Its subsequent reaction with different nitrile oxides using CuSO₄.5H₂O–sodiumascorbate system in a 2:1 mixture of water and tert‐butyl alcohol yielded the title compounds 6a , 6b , 6c , 6d , 6e , 6f , 6g , 6h , 6i , 6j , 6k , 6l in good yields. The identities of these compounds were confirmed following elemental analysis, IR, ¹H, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral studies. All the title compounds exhibited pronounced in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities.     

2‐Hydroxy‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydro‐azulen‐6‐carboxylic Acid Ethyl Ester—A Novel Precursor for a New Class of Liquid Crystalline Materials

A novel approach for the syntheses of carbene adduct 4 is reported. A ring-enlargement strategy was employed for the synthesis of precursors 5 and 6 and established the mechanism of the formation of azulene derivative 6. Synthesis of target precursor 13, a novel precursor for the synthesis of new mesogenic materials, and its various halogenated derivatives (14–16) was carried out.

Determination of mercury by radiochemical displacement method

A radiochemical displacement method for the determination of micro amounts of Hg(II) has been developed. 65Zn was displaced from the Zn-1-(2-pyridylazo-2-naphthol) complex at pH 5 in borate buffers by Hg (II). 10-80 micrograms of mercury could be determined. Interference of various metal ions and methods for suppression have also been carried out.     

N-Methylethylxanthocarbamate as an Analytical Reagent: Differential Pulse Polarographic Determination of Cadmium in Standard Alloys, Biological and Environmental Samples after Adsorption of its Complex on Microcrystalline Naphthalene

N-methylethylxanthocarbamate has been used as an analytical reagent for the determination of trace amounts of cadmium in standard alloys, biological, and environmental samples. The reagent has been found to form a water insoluble complex with cadmium. It is quantitatively adsorbed over microcrystalline naphthalene in the pH range 2.5 to 12.0. The metal complex is desorbed with HCl and cadmium determined with a differential pulse polarograph. The detection limit is 0.05 ppm (signal-to-noise ratio = 2) and the linearity is maintained in the concentration range 0.2–25 g/ml, with correlation coefficient of 0.9995 and a relative standard deviation of ±0.81%. Characterization of the electroactive process includes an examination of the degree of reversibility. Various parameters, such as the effect of pH, reagent concentration, amount of naphthalene, volume of aqueous phase, and the interference of a large number of metal ions on the determination of cadmium, have been studied in detail to optimize the conditions for its determination in various complex materials.     

Regioselective Arylation and Alkynylation of 2,3‐Dibromo‐1H‐inden‐1‐one by Suzuki?Miyaura and Sonogashira Cross‐Coupling Reactions

Suzuki? Miyaura reactions of 2,3‐dibromo‐1H‐inden‐1‐one afforded a wide range of arylated 1H‐inden‐1‐ones. Sonogashira cross‐coupling reactions gave alkynylated indenones. The reactions proceeded with very good regioselectivity in the less sterically hindered and more electron‐deficient position 3.     

Trifluoroethylxanthate as an Analytical Reagent: AAS of Zinc,Antimony and Lead After Coprecipitation of Their Trifluoroethylxanthates onto Microcyrstalline Naphthalene

Abstract

A sensitive method has been developed for the direct atomic absorption spectrometric determination of zinc, antimony and lead after coprecipitation of their trifluoroethylxanthates onto microcrystalline naphthalene. The metal xanthates are quantitatively coprecipitated over the pH ranges: Zn, 5.9–8.4; Sb, 4.0–6.0 and Pb, 4.0–11.0. The solid mass consisting of the metal complex and naphthalene is dissolved in DMF. This solution is aspirated into an air-acetylene flame at 213.9, 217.6 and 217.0nm for Zn, Sb and Pb, respectively. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range 2–50, 3–90 and 5–60 μg of Zn, Sb and Pb, respectively in 10ml of the final DMF solution. RSDs are at the ± (0.5–0.6)% level (n=10). The concentration for 1% absorption is 0.019, 0.035 and 0.060μg/ml for Zn, Sb and Pb, respectively. The method is suitable for the preconcentration of the metals from a larger volume of the aqueous phase, and has been employed for their determination in standard reference materials. It may be employed for the simultaneous determination of Zn, Pb and Sb in a solution by pH control.
