Triphenyltin chloride complexes containing bidentate organodiimines as effective antitumor agents

Three triphenyltin chloride complexes, [(Ph₃SnCl)₂?·?(bpy)_1.5] (1), [(Ph₃SnCl)₂.tbpe] (2), and [(Ph₃SnCl)₂?·?bpe] (3), were synthesized by reaction of triphenyltin chloride with 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy), trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (tbpe), and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpe) in water/acetonitrile. Both 2 and 3 are binuclear; each consists of two Ph₃SnCl molecules bridged by the bidentate ligand. Complex 1 consists of two crystallographically independent and chemically different coordination complexes, mononuclear and binuclear in equal proportion. The structures of these complexes were investigated by single-crystal X-ray analysis, elemental analyses, NMR spectroscopy as well as electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy. The three complexes exhibit in vitro antitumor activity against human breast cancer cell line, MCF7.     

Direct Synthesis of a Dimeric Mixed-Anions Bismuth(III) Complex: Synthesis and Structural Characterization of [Bi2(Phen)4(No3)4.4I0.6]I3 (A New Dimeric Compound)

A direct synthetic method of mixing Bi(NO₃)₃ and NaI with 1,10-phenanthroline yielded red crystals of [Bi₂(phen)₄(NO₃)_4.4I_0.6]I₃. In this complex the cationic part is in fact binuclear and contains two [Bi(phen)(NO₃)_1.7I_0.3] groups linked via a bridging NO^? ₃ anion. The I^? ₃ anion was not coordinated to bismuth(III) and the lone pair of valence electrons of the bismuth(III) ions appears to be stereochemically inactive. There are two independent NO^? ₃ anions, one coordinated to bismuth but another shares a position with I^? anion. The final results of crystallography show that 40% of these positions are occupied by NO^? ₃ anions and 60% by I^? anions that are coordinated to bismuth atom in bidentate fashion (NO^? ₃) and in unidentate fashion (I^?). An interesting point is that the I^? ₃ anion was produced by direct synthetic method (Branched tube method). There is a π-π stacking interaction between the parallel aromatic rings around the Bi(III) ion.

EPR,ENDOR and optical spectroscopy of Yb3+ ion in KZnF3 single crystals

The paramagnetic center of tetragonal symmetry formed by the Yb³⁺ ion in the KZnF₃ crystal has been studied using methods of EPR, ENDOR and optical spectroscopy. The location of the impurity ion and the structural model of the complex differing from the model of the Yb³⁺ center in KMgF₃ have been established. The empirical scheme of the energy levels of the Yb³⁺ ion has been found. The parameters of its interaction with the crystal electrostatic field and the hyperfine interaction with ligands of the nearest environment have been determined. The parameters of the crystal field were used for the analysis of the distortions of the crystal lattice in the vicinity of Yb³⁺. The parameters of the transferred hyperfine interaction have been calculated for the distances between Yb³⁺ and F⁻ ions of the nearest environment obtained taking into account the found distortions. They are in good agreement with the experimental values.     

Effect of Li2CO3 addition on the structural,optical, ferroelectric,and electric-field-induced strain of lead-free BNKT-based ceramics

In this work, we reported the effect of Li₂CO₃ addition on the structural, optical, ferroelectric properties and electric-field-induced strain of Bi_0.5(Na,K)_0.5TiO₃ (BNKT) solid solution with CaZrO₃ ceramics. Both rhombohedral and tetragonal structures were distorted after adding Lithium (Li). The band gap values decreased from 2.91 to 2.69 eV for 5 mol% Li-addition. The maximum polarization and remanent polarization decreased from 49.66 μC/cm² to 27.11 μC/cm² and from 22.93 μC/cm² to 5.35 μC/cm² for un-doped and 5 mol% Li- addition BNKT ceramics, respectively. The maximum S_max/E_max value was 567 pm/V at 2 mol% Li₂CO₃ access. We expected this work will help to understand the role of A-site dopant in lead-free ferroelectric BNKT materials.     

Dinuclear Nickel(II) and Zinc(II) Complexes of 2,6-[N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyphenylmethyl)-N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol

Abstract

The symmetric 'end-off' compartmental proligand 2,6-[N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-phenylmethyl)-N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol (H₃L) has been used to generate homodinuclear nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes. The crystal structures of the complexes reveal that the di-nickel(II) complex is donor asymmetric and the di-zinc(II) complex is coordination number asymmetric. In both complexes non-coordinated acetic acid molecules are tightly hydrogen-bonded to the pendant phenols of the ligand generating a double acid salt of the type[CH₃COO…H…L…H…OOCCH₃]^3? in the dinickel complex and a single acid salt of the type [CH₃COO…H…L]^3? in the dizinc complex. In both cases the ligand periphery has been extended to provide a supraligand in which the donor potential of the original ligand has been enhanced.     

Two Thiourea-based Colorimetric Sensors for Anions: Structure and Binding Study

Two colorimetric thiourea-based chemsensors with two relatively rigid arms, 2A and 2B, were synthesized. Their binding abilities with halide anions, AcO^?, [Formula: See Text] were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy in DMSO. The two sensors showed a notable selective color response to F^? anion from colorless to green-yellow in recognition. The structures of the two sensors and their binding behaviors are discussed. The association constants were calculated by nonlinear fittings of 1:1, 1:2 or 1:1 to 1:2.
