Spectroscopic and biological studies on newly synthesized nickel(II) complexes of semicarbazones and thiosemicarbazones

Nickel(II) complexes, having the general composition Ni(L)2X2, have been synthesized [where L: isopropyl methyl ketone semicarbazone (LLA), isopropyl methyl ketone thiosemicarbazone (LLB), 4-aminoacetophenone semicarbazone (LLC) and 4-aminoacetophenone thiosemicarbazone (LLD) and X=Cl-, 1/2SO(4)2-]. All the Ni(II) complexes reported here have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic moments, IR, electronic and mass spectral studies. All the complexes were found to have magnetic moments corresponding to two unpaired electrons. The possible geometries of the complexes were assigned on the basis of electronic and infrared spectral studies. Newly synthesized ligand and its nickel(II) complexes have been screened against different bacterial and fungal growth.

Syntheses,structures and electrochemical properties of ruthenium(II/III) complexes with tetradentate Schiff base ligands

Three unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base ligands, H₂salipn, H₂salipn-Br₄ and H₂salipn-Cl₂, have been synthesized from the typical condensation reactions of treating 1,2-diaminopropane with salicylaldehyde, 3,5-dibromosalicylaldehyde and 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, respectively. Treatment of [RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃] with one equivalent of H₂salipn or H₂salipn-Br₄ in the presence of triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran (THF) afforded the corresponding ruthenium(III) complexes [Ru^IIICl(PPh₃)(salipn)] (1) and [Ru^IIICl(PPh₃)(salipn-Br₄)] (2). Interaction of [RuHCl(CO)(PPh₃)₃] with one equivalent of H₂salipn-Cl₂ or H₂salipn-Br₄ under the same conditions led to isolation of ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru^II(CO)(PPh₃)(salalipn-Cl₂)] (3) and [Ru^II(CO)(PPh₃)(salalipn-Br₄)] (4), respectively, in which one of the imine bonds was nucleophilically attacked by hydride to result in the formation of a mixed imine-amine ligand. The molecular structures of 1?1.5CH₂Cl₂, 2, 3?0.5CH₂Cl₂ and 4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical properties of 1–4 were also investigated. Their cyclic voltammograms displayed quasi-reversible Ru(IV)/Ru(III) and Ru(III)/Ru(II) couples with E^o ranging from 0.67 to 1.05 V and 0.74 to 0.80 V vs. Ag/AgCl (0.1 M), respectively.     

苯甲醛缩三乙烯四胺Schiff碱Co(Ⅱ)配合物固相合成及氧合性能研究

Three new cobalt complexes were synthesized by solid-state reaction at room temperature. It was found that one mole of complex reacted with two moles of oxygen at room temperature. And the oxygenated complexes [Co·(L₁)₂·2O₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O (L₁=N,N′-bis(4-hydroxyl-3-methoxy-benzyl)-triethylenetetramine), [Co·(L₂)₂·2O₂](NO₃)₂ ·2H₂O (L₂=N,N′-bis(4-hydroxyl-benzyl)-triethylenetetramine) and [Co·L₃·2O₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O (L₃=N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyl-benzyl)-triethylenetetramine) were obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, ¹H NMR, TG/DTA, UV-Vis and molar conductance. The coordinated oxygen contents in the oxygenated complex were also determined by weight method. It was found that one O₂ molecule coordinated to the Co ion and formed superoxo type oxygenated complex.     

Preparation, structure, and dynamics of a nickel π-allyl cyanide complex

The complex (dippe)Ni(η³-allyl)(CN) has been prepared and fully characterized (dippe=bis-(diisopropylphosphino)ethane), including X-ray diffraction studies, as a square pyramidal structure. The complex shows dynamic ¹H-NMR behavior consistent with substantial structural rearrangements upon π to σ allyl interconversion. A comparison is made with (dippe)Ni(η³-allyl)Br, which also displays a square pyramidal structure.     

Hydrogen elimination in cyclopentadienylnickel compounds as a route to organonickel and organic compounds

Reactions of -, β- and γ-hydrogen elimination in cyclopentadienylnickel compounds formed in the reactions of nickelocene with lithium or magnesium compounds are discussed. Elimination of -hydrogen from CpNiR where R is CH₃, CH₂C(CH₃)₃, CH₂Si(CH₃)₃, CH₂Ph or CH=C(CH₃)₂ leads to the formation of trinickel clusters (CpNi)₃CR′, bis(cyclopentadienyl)(μ-cyclopentadiene)dinickel and (η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)(η³-cyclopenteny)nickel. β-hydrogen and γ-hydrogen elimination in vinylnickel compounds not possesing -hydrogen have been studied. Elimination and transfer of hydrogen forms (η³-allyl)(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)nickel compounds. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.     

Study on EPR Spectra of Three Gadolinium Complexes With Noncyclic Polyether Schiff Bases

The EPR spectra of three new gadolinium complexes with noncyclic polyether Schiff bases in powder and those of these complexes in organic solvents were investigated at different temperatures. It was observed that EPR spectra of nine and four peaks of Gd(Ⅲ) complexes in polycrystalline powder and freezing samples appeared at low temperature respectively for the first time. The interpretations of these results obtained on the basis of spin Hamiltonian of s = 7/2 system are satisfactory. The correlations of EPR feature between crystal-field strength in complexes and local symmetry around Gd3+ ions were revealed. The crystal-field parameters b20 and the asymmetry parameters λ' of complexes were estimated. A series of interesting regularity and new results were obtained.
