Complexation of (1Z, 2Z)- N ′-1-, N ′-2-dihydroxy- N -1-, N -2-dipyridin-2-ylethanedimidamide in mono and dinuclear Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and Sn(IV) complexes

Mononuclear O,O-coordinated complexes K₂(MLCl₂) M = Zn(II), Cd(II) and dinuclear complexes (MZnLCl₂R₂)^x along with dinuclear N,N-coordinated complexes (M′ZnH₂LCl₂R₂)^y (where M = Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and M′ = M and Sn(IV); R = Cl, CH₃; x = 0, ?2; y = 0, +2) of N′-1-,N′-2-dihydroxy-N-1-,N-2-dipyridin-2-ylethanedimidamide (H₂L) have been prepared. All complexes have been characterized by ¹H NMR, IR, EI-mass spectroscopy and elemental microanalysis. These results are in agreement with our prediction for structures of mono and dinuclear complexes of H₂L and L^?2 with Zn(II) in the gas phase by theoretical studies.     

Synthesis and characterization of heterocyclic Schiff base and its complexes with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)

A new Schiff base, {1-[(2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino]-4-phenyl-2-thioxo-1, 2-dihydro-pyrimidin-5-yl}-phenyl-methanone, has been synthesized from N-amino pyrimidine-2-thione and 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde. Metal complexes of the Schiff base were prepared from acetate/chloride salts of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) in methanol. The chemical structures of the Schiff-base ligand and its metal complexes were confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, ¹³C-NMR, ¹H-NMR, API-ES, UV-Visible spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, and thermogravimetric analyses. The electronic spectral data and magnetic moment measurements suggest mononuclear octahedral and mononuclear or binuclear square planar structures for the metal complexes. In light of these results, it was suggested that this ligand coordinates to each metal atom by hydroxyl oxygen, azomethine nitrogen, and thione sulfur to form octahedral complexes with Cd(II) and Zn(II).     

Synthesis,characterization, and biological activity studies on (E)-N′-[2-hydroxy-1,2-di(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidine]aroyl hydrazides and their copper(II) complexes

The reaction of copper(II) salts with (E)-N-(2-hydroxy-1,2-di(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)aroyl hydrazide (H₂L¹, H₂L², H₃L³) or (E)-N-(2-hydroxy-1,2-di(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene) isonicotinohydrazide (H₂L⁴) afforded the complexes [(L)Cu(H₂O)₃], [(H₂L)Cu(OAc)(H₂O)], [(HL)Cu(OAc)] _n , [(H₂L)Cu(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ and [(H₂L)Cu(OAc)(H₂O)], where n = 1 or 2 and L is the dinegative ion of the ligands. The ligands and their complexes are characterized by elemental analyses, spectral (IR, NMR, electronic, and ESR) and magnetic studies. The FT-IR indicates that the ligands are neutral or anionic polydentate. The number of the coordinating centers depends on the nature of the metal used and the reaction conditions. The room temperature magnetic moment values, electronic spectra and ESR data indicate square planar, trigonal bipyramidal, square pyramidal, and distorted octahedral ligand fields around copper(II). Thermal decomposition of the complexes was monitored by TG and DTG under N₂ and the thermal decomposition mechanisms are given. The compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities on some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species. The free ligands are inactive against all studied bacteria. The complexes have variable activity with the most active [(H₂L)Cu(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂, where H₂L is H₂L¹ or H₂L². The minimum inhibition concentrations for these two complexes were determined. These biological activity results are related to the structures of the compounds.

Synthese,Struktur und Photolyse von Isocyanatokomplexen des Rheniums

Synthesis, Structure, and Photolysis of Isocyanato Complexes of Rhenium The Re^III isocyanato complex Re(NCO)₃(PMe₂Ph)₃ yields from the reaction of ReCl₃(PMe₂Ph)₃ with an excess of NaOCN in EtOH.

In the mononuclear complex with an octahedral coordination of the Re atoms the phosphine and isocyanato ligands exhibit a meridional arrangement. By using a deficient amount of NaOCN the mono isocyanato complex Re(NCO)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ is formed, and part of the educt is transformed to its isomer [(Me₂PhP)₃Re(μ-Cl)₃Re(PMe₂Ph)₃]Cl₃.

The Synthesis of New Triazole Ligands and Determination of Complex Stability Constants with Transition Metal Cations in Aqueous Media

Six new triazole compounds were synthesized. These compounds containing the substituted benzylidenamino group were obtained by reaction of 3-(pyridine-4-yl)-5-p-tolyl-4-amino-4H-l,2,4-triazole 1 with the corresponding aldehyde. The reduced forms were prepared with NaBH₄ in methanol. The structures of the compounds were determined by IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectral data, and their interaction with cations such as Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, Ba²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ca²⁺, Cu²⁺, Cr³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Ag⁺ were investigated by using UV-visible spectrophotometry. Of the tested metal cations, Cu²⁺, Cr³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Ag⁺ complexed with the ligands. The complex stability constants (log ₁₀ K) were measured in slightly acidic aqueous media at 25.0±0.1 °C. These stability constants were determined by measuring the increase in solubility of the nearly insoluble ligand molecule due to complex formation with a soluble cation, and this method is discussed. It was found that the position of chlorine atoms on the benzene ring strongly affects the complexation of Cu²⁺ ion with these ligands.
