Di- and tetranuclear copper(II) complexes of a novel binucleating tetrathioether-tetrathiol ligand

A novel bi-tetradentate polythioether ligand, 6,6-methylene-bis(5- mercapto-3-thiahexyl)-4,8-dithiaundecane-1, 11-dithiol (H4L) was synthesized, and its di- and tetranuclear copper(II) complexes were prepared, and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic moments, 1H-n.m.r., i.r., and Uv/vis spectra. The i.r. data show that the ligand acts in a tetradentate manner and coordinates via one S atom of the thioether and thiol groups. The geometry of the metal chelates is discussed with the help of magnetic and spectroscopic measurements. The elemental analyses, stoichiometry, and spectroscopic data of the complexes indicate that the copper(II) ions are coordinated to the bi-dianion of the ligand. The function of the thiol ligand is to release protons to form copper(II) complexes, (Cu2L).     

Clifford Product and Lorentzian Plane Displacements In 3-Dimensional Lorentzian Space

In this paper, by defining Clifford algebra product in 3-dimensional Lorentz space, L ³, it is shown that even Clifford algebra of L ³ corresponds to split quaternion algebra. Then, by using Lorentzian matrix multiplication, pole point of planar displacement in Lorentz plane L ² is obtained. In addition, by defining degenerate Lorentz scalar product for L ³ and by using the components of pole points of Lorentz plane displacement in particular split hypercomplex numbers, it is shown that the Lorentzian planar displacements can be represented as a special split quaternion which we call it Lorentzian planar split quaternion.      

New type of tetrazine‐substituted metallophthalocyanines by microwave irradiation: Synthesis and characterization

5,6‐bis(4‐methylphenyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,2,3,4‐tetrazine 2 was synthesized by the dimerization of ethyl p‐methylbenzoateformylhydrazone 1 in hydrazinehydrate solution. 2,3‐bis(4‐methylphenyl)‐6,7,14,15‐tetrahydro[1,2,3,4]tetrazino [2,3d][1,8, 4,5]benzodithia‐diazecine‐10,11‐dicarbonitrile 4 was sythesized by cyclization reaction of tetrazine monomer 2 onto 1,2‐bis‐(2‐iodoethylmercapto)‐4,5‐dicyanobenzene 3 . Co(II) and Cu(II) phthalocyanine complexes were prepared by reaction of the dinitrile compound ( 4 ) with the chlorides of Co(II), Cu(II), and DMAE at 175°C, 350 W in a microwave oven for 10 min. Zn(II)‐phthalocyanine complex was prepared by reaction of the dinitrile compound 4 with the acetate of Zn(II) and DMAE at 175°C, 350 W in a microwave oven for 10 min. The new compounds were characterized by a combination of IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV‐vis, elemental analysis, and MS spectral data. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Effect of Enantiomer Elution Order on the Determination of Minor Enantiomeric Impurity in Ketoprofen and Enantiomeric Purity Evaluation of Commercially Available Dexketoprofen Formulations

In a recent study, opposite enantiomer elution order was observed for ketoprofen enantiomers on two amylose-phenylcarbamate-based chiral columns with the same chemical composition of the chiral selector but in one case with coated while in the other with an immobilized chiral selector. In the present study, the influence of this uncommon effect on method validation parameters for the determination of minor enantiomeric impurity in dexketoprofen was studied. The validated methods with two alternative elution orders for enantiomers were applied for the evaluation of enantiomeric impurity in six marketed dexketoprofen formulations from various vendors. In most of these formulations except one the content of enantiomeric impurity exceeded 0.1% (w/w).     

Synthesis, characterization and aggregation behaviour of novel peripherally tetra-substituted octacationic water soluble metal-free and metallophthalocyanines

In this study, a new phthalonitrile derivative 3 bearing 1,3-bis[3(dimethylamino)phenoxy]propan-2-ol 1, metal-free phthalocyanine (Pc) 4, metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) 5–7 and their quaternized derivatives 4a–7a were synthesized. Metal-free Pc 4 was prepared by cyclotetramerization of phthalonitrile derivate 3 and MPcs 5–7 were synthesized by heating 3 with NiCl₂, CoCl₂ and CuCl₂ in n-pentanol in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, respectively. Quaternization of the dimethylamino functionality produced quaternized octacationic water soluble metal-free, Ni, Co and Cu Pcs which were soluble in water, DMF, DMSO. The aggregation behaviour of these compounds were investigated in different concentrations of chloroform for metal-free, Ni, Co and Cu Pcs. The effect of solvents on absorption spectra were studied in various organic solvents. The novel compounds were characterized using IR, ¹H-, ¹³C NMR, UV–vis and MS spectral data.     

A new polymeric phthalocyanine containing 16-membered tetrathia macrocyclic moieties by microwave irradiation: Synthesis and characterization

Tetranitrile monomer (3) was synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 1,5,9,13-tetrathiacyclohexadecane-3,11-diol (1) onto 4-nitrophthalonitrile (2). The metal-free phthalocyanine polymer (4) was prepared by the reaction of a tetranitrile monomer with 4-({11-[3-cyano-4-(cyanomethyl)phenoxy]-1,5,9,13-tetrathiacyclohexadecan-3-yl}oxy)phthalonitrile in 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol. Ni(II), Co(II), Cu(I)-phthalocyanine polymers were prepared by the reaction of the tetranitrile compound with the chlorides of Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(I) in DMAE. Zn(II)-phthalocyanine polymer was prepared by the reaction of the tetranitrile compound with the acetates of Zn(II) in DMAE. The new compounds were characterized by a combination of IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis and MS spectral data.

The novel (E,E)-dioxime 5,6:13,14-dibenzo-9,10-benzo(15-crown-5)-2,3-bis(hydroxyimino)-7,12-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (H₂L) has been synthesized by the reaction of 4′,5′-diaminobenzo(15-crown-5) with N,N′-bis(2-carbomethoxyphenyl)diaminoglyoxime (1). Only mononuclear Co^III and Ru^II complexes with a metal/ligand ratio of 1:2 have been isolated. The cobalt(III) complex bridged with BF₂⁺ is achieved with H-bonded cobalt(III) complex and borontrifluoride ethyl ether complex. The reaction of BF₂ bridged cobalt(III) complex with bis(benzonitril)palladium(II) chloride gives a trinuclear complex. The structures of dioxime and its complexes are proposed according to elemental analyses, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR, IR and mass spectral data.

Homo and heterotrinuclear Cu^II₃ and Co^IIIPd^II₂ complexes of this ligand have been prepared; their two ligand molecules are connected via hydroxyimino or BF₂⁺‐bridging groups and two of the metal ions are coordinated by a diaza‐dithia mixed donor macrocyclic moiety. The macrocyclic ligand and its transition metal complexes have been characterized on the basis of ¹H‐, ¹³C‐NMR, IR and MS spectroscopy and elemental analysis data.
