Structural investigation of dibromobis(benzimidazole)Zn(II) complex

The molecular structure of the title complex [ZnBr₂(C₇H₆N₂)₂] was investigated by X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy methods. Molecules of zinc(II) complex crystallize in the triclinic crystal system with cell constants a=7.526(2) Å, b=7.8971(8) Å, c=13.431(1) Å, Z=2 and V=791.3(2) Å³. In the molecular structure, the Zn atom is coordinated tetrahedrally by two Br⁻ anions and two benzimidazole ligands. Intramolecular steric repulsions between Br⁻ anions and benzimidazole groups have been caused to cis configuration around the central metal atom.     

电沉积条件对锌镀层织构的影响

采用ＸＲＤ方法研究添加剂，络合剂，以及电流密度对锌酸盐镀锌层的织构和晶粒尺寸的影响，结果表明，添加剂ＡＡ－１的存在有利于（１０１）晶面取向；而ＤＩＥ则使镀层转变为１１０择优；两种添加剂同时存在下，可在一定的电流密度范围内获得高择优取向的锌镀层，而当又有络合剂ＴＥＡ和ＥＤＴＡ同时存在时，则可在更宽广的电流密度范围内制得日 粒细密、表面光亮、择优系数ＴＣ（１１０）在９８５以上的高择优取向锌沉积层。

Complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with 4-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid anion

The complexes of 4-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid anion with Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ were obtained as polycrystalline solids with general formula M(C₈H₆ClO₃)₂·nH₂O and colours typical for M(II) ions (Mn – slightly pink, Co – pink, Ni – slightly green, Cu – turquoise and Zn – white). The results of elemental, thermal and spectral analyses suggest that compounds of Mn(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) are tetrahydrates whereas those of Co(II) and Ni(II) are pentahydrates. The carboxylate groups in these complexes are monodentate. The hydrates of 4-chloro-2-methoxybenzoates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) heated in air to 1273 K are dehydrated in one step in the range of 323–411 K and form anhydrous salts which next in the range of 433–1212 K are decomposed to the following oxides: Mn₃O₄, CoO, NiO and ZnO. The final products of decomposition of Cu(II) complex are CuO and Cu. The solubility value in water at 293 K for all complexes is in the order of 10^–3 mol dm^–3. The plots of χ_M vs. temperature of 4-chloro-2-methoxybenzoates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) follow the Curie–Weiss law. The magnetic moment values of Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions in these complexes were determined in the range of 76−303 K and they change from: 5.88–6.04 μ_B for Mn(C₈H₆ClO₃)₂·4H₂O, 3.96–4.75 μ_B for Co(C₈H₆ClO₃)₂·5H₂O, 2.32–3.02 μ_B for Ni(C₈H₆ClO₃)₂·5H₂O and 1.77–1.94 μ_B for Cu(C₈H₆ClO₃)₂·4H₂O.     

Spectroscopic studies and crystal structure of a dimeric Zn(II) complex with diethyl (pyridin-2-ylmethyl)phosphate

The crystal structure of [Zn₂(2-pmOpe)₂Cl₄] (2-pmOpe?=?diethyl (pyridin-2-ylmethyl)phosphate) was determined by X-ray-diffraction method. The compound was also characterized by IR, far-IR, 1H, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. In this compound, 2-pmOpe is a bidentate N,O-bridging ligand and Zn(II) are slightly distorted tetrahedral ZnNOCl₂. Zn(II) ions are doubly bridged by the 2-pmOpe ligands, resulting in a dinuclear species. The structure is stabilized by intermolecular C–H?···?O and C–H?···?Cl hydrogen bonds. The spectral properties are in agreement with the structural data.     

The Determination of Trace Elements by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry: Effect of the Composition of Standard Solution Matrices

Abstract

The effect of using solution matrices in calibration standards different from those employed for the extraction steps in the determination of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn were tested. Cu and Zn are little affected by matrix effects but, if the extractant is ammonium acetate, the use of other matrices may result in too high Cd, Cr and Ni values.     

The enhanced biological activities of three Zn (II) complexes based on different 1,2,4‐triazole fungicides

In order to screen effective fungicides, three Zn (II) complexes, [Zn L ¹ ₄ (NO₃)₂]·2H₂O·2EtOH ( 1 ), [Zn L ² ₄ (NO₃)₂] ( 2 ), and [Zn L ³ ₄ (DMF)₂](NO₃)₂ ( 3 ), ( L ¹  = paclobutrazol, L ²  = diniconazole, and L ³  = hexaconazole), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal XRD. The antifungal activities of these complexes were then evaluated against four selected fungi using the mycelial growth rate method. The resulting data indicate that all the complexes show the enhanced antifungal activities than the corresponding ligand and mixtures. And, the interactions between the metal salt and ligands in the three complexes seem to be synergistic. According to the study of the influence of the structures on the activity, complex 2 with C=C linkage and 2,4‐dichlorophenyl moieties enhances the bioactivity significantly, especially against Wheat gibberellic ( II ). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to help explain the enhanced bioactivity of the Zn (II) complexes. Meanwhile, all complexes are excellent grow‐regulators, especially complex 3 . The resulting data show that the complexes based on triazole fungicides have the potential applications in agriculture.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and biological activities of a Zn(II) complex with a Se substituted Schiff base

A Zn(II) complex with an organoselenium substituted Schiff base, bis{2-[(benzylimino)methyl]-4,6-dihydroselenophenol}Zn(II), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and X-ray diffraction. Zn(II) is four-coordinated by two phenolate O and two imine N from two organoselenium substituted Schiff-base ligands, forming a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The title complex and its ligand were tested in vitro for their antibacterial and antitumor activity with the complex showing higher antibacterial and antitumor activities.     

A mixed-ligand approach for building a N-rich porous metal-organic framework for drug release and anticancer activity against oral squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract

A new Zn(II) metal-organic framework (MOFs), [Zn(BTC)(HME)]·(DMAc)(H₂O) (1, H₃BTC =1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, HME?=?protonated melamine, DMAc?=?N,N-dimethylacetamide), has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. In the structure of 1, the four-coordinate Zn(II) ions are connected by BTC^3? ligands into a 3-D framework with (3)-connected utg-type topology. This MOF shows permanent porosity after lattice solvent removal with a calculated pore size distribution around 0.72?nm. With abundant N-donor sites and suitable pore size, the desolvated 1 (1a) was used as a drug carrier for the loading of anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) molecules. Moderate 5-Fu loading capacity and long drug release time were observed for 1a. The computational simulation results reveal that strong H-bond interactions between the 5-Fu molecules and the nitrogen sites allow slow release of the drug 1a. In addition, the in vitro cytotoxicity of 1 and 5-Fu loaded 1a were also evaluated using MTT assays against human oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC-251 and HSC-4).     

An unprecedented tetranuclear Zn(ΙΙ) complex with an unsymmetric Salen-type bisoxime ligand: synthesis,crystal structure,and spectral properties

A tetranuclear Zn(ΙΙ) complex, [Zn₄L₂(OAc)₂(CH₃OH)₂] with an unsymmetric Salen-type bisoxime (H₃L?=?6-hydroxy-4′,6′-dibromo-2,2′-[ethylenediyldioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. There are two kinds of coordination geometry (trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal) in the Zn(ΙΙ) complex. The molecule has serious distortion probably from the asymmetry. The complex exhibits blue emission with the maximum emission wavelength λ _max?=?423?nm when excited with 340?nm.
