Synthesis,Characterization and Biological Investigations of Half-Sandwich Ruthenium(II) Complexes Containing Benzimidazole Moiety

Half-sandwich Ru(II) complexes belong to group of biologically active metallo-compounds with promising antimicrobial and anticancer activity. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of arene ruthenium complexes containing benzimidazole moiety, namely, [(η⁶-p-cymene)RuCl(bimCOO)] (1) and [(η⁶-p-cymene)RuCl₂(bim)] (2) (where bimCOO = benzimidazole-2-carboxylate and bim = 1-H-benzimidazole). The compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, UV–vis and CV. Molecular structures of the complexes were determined by SC-XRD analysis, and the results indicated the presence of a pseudo-tetrahedral (piano stool) geometry. Interactions in the crystals of the Ru complexes using the Hirshfeld surface analysis were also examined. In addition, the biological studies of the complexes, such as antimicrobial assays (against planktonic and adherent microbes), cytotoxicity and lipophilicity, were performed. Antibacterial activity of the complexes was evaluated against S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa PAO1 and LES B58. Cytotoxic activity was tested against primary human fibroblasts and adenocarcinoma human alveolar basal epithelial cells. Obtained biological results show that the ruthenium compounds have bacteriostatic activity toward Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 strain and are not toxic to normal cells. A molecular docking study was applied as a predictive source of information about the plausibility of examined structures binding with HSA as a transporting system.     

The Synthesis,Vibrational Spectra,Electronic Spectra,and Thermal Analysis of Some Mixed Complexes with Planar Dithiooxamides

Planar Pd(LH)₂ complexes (LH₂ = H₂N C S C S N H₂, CH₃HNCSCSNHCH₃) form mixed polymeric complexes with Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) in alcalic media, where the planar Pd(LH)₂ complexes act as tetradentates with N-coordination. The electronic spectra and thermal behaviour are discussed, a thorough investigation of the i.r. spectra is presented and special attention has been given to the H/D, CH₃/CD₃ and ⁵⁸Ni/⁶²Ni, ⁶³Cu/⁶⁵Cu and ⁶⁴Zn/⁶⁸Zn isotopic shifts.     

Highly sensitive fluorescent probe for detection of alkaloids

A new fluorescent probe, based on an amphiphilic Schiff-base zinc(II) complex, 1, for the sensitive detection of some important classes of alkaloids is presented. It exhibits optical absorption changes and fluorescence enhancement upon formation of 1:1 1·alkaloid adducts. Four diverse classes of alkaloids, represented by their basic structures and related representative prototypes, are investigated, through the study of optical and binding properties of 1·alkaloid adducts. It is found that the chromogenic and fluorogenic complex 1 is selective between these classes of alkaloids in the micromolar range, with a limit of quantification of 0.40 μM for nicotine and 0.43 μM for cinchonine.     

Differential Pulse Polarographic Study of Ternary Complexes of Copper (Ii) With Pyruvate and Some Amino Acids

Abstract

The ternary complexes of copper (II) with glycine, alanine, aspartate or glutamate as primary ligand and pyruvate as secondary ligand have been investigated using differential pulse polarography. the reversible diffusion controlled reduction of the complexed ion reveals two mixed complexes to be formed with stoichiometries 1:1:1 and 1:2:1. Their overall formation constants in a sodium perchlorate supporting electrolyte have been calculated at μ =0.1 and 25°C.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of Ni(II) complexes with the chiral CpH(PNMent) tripod ligand

Treatment of NiCl₂ with the tripod ligand (L_Ment,S_C)-1H led to (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiCl] in which the potentially tridentate ligand coordinated to the metal center in a bidentate way via the cyclopentadienyl system and the phosphorus atom. In the presence of NH₄PF₆ [(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiCl] readily underwent Cl/PPh₃ exchange to give (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆. Reaction of (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiCl] with 0.5 eq. of dppe afforded [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂. (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆ and [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂ were characterized by NMR and MS spectroscopy, and also by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The cyclopentadienyl ligand of (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆ shows a distortion intermediate between the ene-allyl and diene types, while the two cyclopentadienyl ligands of [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂ have intermediate and diene distortions, respectively. According to the temperature dependent NMR spectra of (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆ and [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂ two different conformations of the tether in the Cp(PN_Ment)Ni system could be frozen out at low temperatures.
