New Ni(II) Ion-Selective Electrode Based on the N-S Schiff Base Ligand as Neutral Carrier in PVC Matrix

Abstract

A nickel(II) [Ni(II)] ion-selective electrode was prepared by incorporating a new N-S Schiff base ligand, glyoxal-bis(S-benzyldithiocarbazate) (GBSB), as a neutral carrier into the PVC matrix. The proposed electrode exhibits an excellent near-Nernstian response for Ni²⁺ ions, ranging from 2.8 × 10^?7 to 1.0 × 10^?1 mol/L with a detection limit of 1.2 × 10^?7 mol/L and a slope of 31.9 ± 0.3 mV/dec in pH 4.0 nitrate buffer solution at 25°C. It has an appropriate response time and suitable reproducibility and can be used for at least 3 months. The operational pH range of the proposed electrode is 4.0–7.5. The response mechanism is discussed in view of the alternating current (AC) impedance technique. In addition, the electrode was successfully used as an indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of Ni²⁺ ion and in the direct determination of Ni²⁺ ion in milk power and chocolate samples.     

Complexation of the N,N′,O-donor ligand N-trans-(2′-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-aminomethylpyridine

The potentially tridentate N,N′,O-donor N-trans-(2′-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-aminomethylpyridine (1) forms ML₂ complexes with M(II)?=?Cu, Ni, and Zn. X-ray crystal structures of the isostructural Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes confirm bis-tridentate coordination in significantly distorted octahedral geometries as the all-cis facial isomer. Structural comparisons with the previously reported all-trans facial Cu(II) and cis,cis,trans(N_py) facial Co(III) complexes are presented. Protonation constants for 1 and stability constants with Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) are reported, with both ML and ML₂ species defined. The trend for ML (log K ₁ values for Cu, Ni, and Zn of 8.3, 6.9, and 5.3, respectively) is conventional. Protonation and stability constants with Cu(II) for N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (2) were also defined. The log K ₁ value measured for 2 of 7.4 is very similar to that found for 1 of 8.3, despite the marked difference in the third donor group; it appears that the third donor of the tridentate ligand generally binds only poorly to Jahn–Teller elongated Cu(II) in solution.     

Mixed ligand complexes of β-diketonates: synthesis,characterization, and FAB mass spectral analysis

Complexes of the type MLL′ · nB (where M = Ni(II) and Cu(II); LH and L′H = 2,4-pentanedione (acacH), 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione (bacH), and 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione (dbmH); n = 0 to 2 and B = water or pyridine) have been synthesized and characterized. IR spectra are consistent with uninegative bidentate ligands. Magnetic moments and electronic spectral studies reveal high-spin octahedral geometry for nickel(II) complexes and distorted octahedral stereochemistry for copper(II) complexes. Frozen chloroform solution ESR spectra of the copper(II) complexes display significant Jahn–Teller distortion and dimeric behavior of the complexes in solution. FAB mass spectra of the copper(II) complexes also exhibit peaks corresponding to dimers. Molecular, pseudo-molecular, dimeric pseudo-molecular, and fragment ion peaks in unit resolution mass spectra have been identified with the help of their isotope distribution pattern expected due to natural abundances of the ⁶³Cu and ⁶⁵Cu isotopes. All the FAB mass spectral peaks from the fragment ions containing copper have been interpreted on the basis of isotope distribution pattern.     

Syntheses,structures, and characterizations of three Ag(I) complexes constructed by length-modulated pyrazole-based ligands

Three coordination complexes with N-donor ligands, Ag₂(L1)_1.5(NO₃)₂ (1), Ag₃(L2)₂(NO₃)₃ (2), and Ag(L1)₂NO₃ (3) {L1?=?1,4-bis(pyrazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene, L2 = 4,4′-bis(pyrazole-1-ylmethyl)biphenyl}, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, TGA, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Complex 1 shows a 3-D fsh-3,4-P2₁/c structure with brevity code {8³}²{8⁵·10}. Complex 2 has a 3-D framework with a 2-D layer penetrated by an infinite 1-D zigzag chain. Complex 3 exhibits a (4,4)-net racemizing layer structure with nitrate anions filling the cavity. The results indicate that L1 and L2 can adopt varied conformations in formation of the complexes, and the length of the ligands plays a key role in configuring and directing the corresponding structure of the complexes.     

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl chlorides with aryl boronic acids catalyzed by a palladium dichloride adduct of N-diphenylphosphanyl-2-aminopyridine

One palladium dichloride adduct of a phosphine-pyridine ligand N-diphenylphosphanyl-2-aminopyridine (L₁) [(L₁)PdCl₂] (1) has been prepared and structurally characterized. Compound 1 can be used as an effective catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of unreactive aryl chlorides with aryl boronic acids, and worked much better than its mono- or bidentate phosphine ligands. The reactions with a wide scope of substrates proceeded to give desired products in good to excellent yields.     

Toxic metal complexes of macrocyclic cyclen molecule – synthesis,structure and complexing properties

Toxic metal (Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Ag⁺) complexes with the tetradentate macrocyclic ligand - cyclen (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane, [12]aneN₄, L) were prepared and studied in the solid state by IR, X-ray diffraction, elemental and thermal analysis. Diffraction results have yielded three molecular structures, [Cd([12]ane-κ⁴N^1,4,7,10)(NO₃)₂)] (1), [Hg([12]ane-κ⁴N^1,4,7,10)(NO₃-κ²O,O`)]NO₃ (2), [Pb₂([12]ane-κ⁴N^1,4,7,10)₂][Pb(NO₃)₆] (3) and one polymeric structure {[Ag₂([12]ane-κ³N^1,4,7)(μ₂-[12]aneN¹⁰)](NO₃)₂?2H₂O)}_n (4) featuring a unique coordination mode not observed before with cyclen as a ligand. The monodentate (1) and chelate (with small bite angle 50.3(3)°, (2) coordination modes of nitrate ligands were confirmed. Stereochemically active 6s² lone pair was suggested in 3 and DFT results confirmed no significant metal–metal covalent bond. The stability constants of the complexes with Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions were determined by potentiometric methods in aqueous solutions. Additionally, the structures of complexes in solution were observed by ¹H NMR. Both methods confirm similar cyclen complexing properties toward Zn²⁺ biometal and Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ toxic metals.

Ligand-receptor docking with the Mining Minima optimizer

The optimizer developed for the Mining Minima algorithm, which uses ideas from Genetic Algorithms, the Global Underestimator Method, and Poling, has been adapted for use in ligand-receptor docking. The present study describes the resulting methodology and evaluates its accuracy and speed for 27 test systems. The performance of the new docking algorithm appears to be competitive with that of previously published methods. The energy model, an empirical force field with a distance-dependent dielectric treatment of solvation, is adequate for a number of test cases, although incorrect low-energy conformations begin to compete with the correct conformation for larger sampling volumes and for highly solvent-exposed binding sites that impose little steric constraint on the ligand.     

Enantiomeric resolution of some imidazole antifungal agents on chiralpak WH chiral stationary phase using HPLC

Summary The enantiomeric resolution of (±)-econazole, (±)-miconazole and (±)-sulconazole was achieved on a Chiralpak WH column. The mobile phase used was hexane-2-propanol-diethylamine (400:99:1,v/v/v). The flow rates of the mobile phase used were 0.50 and 1.00 mL min⁻¹. The values of α of the resolved enantiomers of econazole, miconazole and sulconazole were in the range of 1.68 to 1.23 while the values of Rs varied from 2.42 to 1.10. The resolution of these antifungal agents on Chiralpak WH column is governed by ligand exchange mechanism. Hydrophobic interactions also play an important role for the enantiomeric resoltuion of antifungal agents on the reported CSP.
