Synthesis, experimental and theoretical characterization of N,N'-dipyridoxyl (1,4-butanediamine) Schiff-base ligand and its Cu(II) complex

A new N,N'-dipyridoxyl(1,4-butanediamine) [=H(2)BS] Schiff-base ligand and its Cu(II) salen complex, [Cu(BS)(H(2)O)(CH(3)OH)], were synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-vis, (1)H NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Also, full optimization of the geometries, (1)H NMR chemical shifts (for the H(2)BS) and vibrational frequencies were calculated by using density functional theory (DFT) method. Structure of the H(2)BS ligand is not planar, i.e. two pyridine rings are not in the same plane. In the structure of the Cu complex, the Schiff-base ligand acts as a dianionic tetradentate ligand in N, N, O(-), O(-) manner. The coordinating atoms of BS(2-) occupy equatorial positions of the octahedral complex, where the H(2)O and CH(3)OH ligands locate at axial positions. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data, confirming the suitability of the proposed and optimized structures for the H(2)BS ligand and its Cu complex.     

Determination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in water samples by solid-phase microextraction based sol–gel technique using poly(ethylene glycol) grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes coated fiber

In this study, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PEG-g-MWCNTs) were synthesized by the covalent functionalization of MWCNTs with hydroxyl-terminated PEG chains. PEG-g-MWCNTs was used as a novel stationary phase to prepare the sol–gel solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber in combination with gas chromatography–flame ionization detector (GC–FID) for the determination of ibuprofen, naproxen and diclofenac in real water samples.

A density functional theory investigation of the bromide oxidation mechanism by a vanadium bromoperoxidase model complex

Abstract  

Density functional theory has been used to study the mechanism of bromide oxidation by the oxo-peroxo complex K[VO(O₂)Hheida] (heida = N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetic acid), which has the highest reported rate constant for bromide oxidation of any vanadium complex. Two possible mechanisms were explored, involving bromide attack on a protonated or unprotonated peroxo atom. The direct nucleophilic attack of bromide on a protonated peroxo begins the reaction, i.e. the protonated peroxo ligand is the active site of reaction. We examined five different transition states in the mechanism. Two transition states were found to have lower activation barriers. A reduction in the potential energy barriers, when calculated using the polarisable continuum model, indicates that with the involvement of acetonitrile as a solvent the transition states become more stable.     

Synthesis,structural characterization and DNA-binding studies of a new cobalt (II) complex: (HAcr)<Subscript>4</Subscript>[Co(Sal)<Subscript>3</Subscript>]

A new cobalt (II) coordination compound was synthesized using proton transfer mechanism. The reaction between CoCl₂·2H₂O, Salicylic acid (H₂Sal) and acridine (Acr) gave a new coordination compound formulated as (HAcr)₄[Co(Sal)₃], which was characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopies. The interaction of this complex with DNA has been investigated in vitro using UV absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity measurements and gel electrophoresis methods. The intrinsic binding constant has been estimated to be 5.8 × 10⁵ M^?1 using UV absorption. The interaction of DNA–Co (II) complex caused quenching in fluorescence. The binding constant, the number of binding site and Stern–Volmer quenching constant have been calculated to be 7.7 × 10⁴ M^?1, 1.143 and 1.5 × 10⁴ Lmol^?1, respectively. The increase in the viscosity of DNA with increasing the concentration of the Co (II) complex and the observations of other experiments suggest that the cobalt (II) complex binds to DNA by partial intercalation binding mode. Furthermore, the interaction of DNA–Co (II) complex was confirmed using gel electrophoresis studies. Moreover, molecular docking technique predicted partial intercalation binding mode for the complex.

An inorganic–organic hybrid material based on a Keggin-type polyoxometalate@Dysprosium as an effective and green catalyst in the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromenes via multicomponent reactions

A novel inorganic–organic hybrid, [Dy₄(PDA)₄(H₂O)₁₁(SiMo₁₂O₄₀)]·7H₂O denoted as (POM@Dy-PDA), based on a lanthanide cluster, a Keggin-type polyoxomolybdate, and PDA (1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid) was prepared and fully characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared and UV–Vis spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural analysis study showed that the [SiMo₁₂O₄₀]⁴⁻ ions reside in the interspace between two cationic layers as discrete counterions and are not coordinated to the rare-earth ions. Significantly, this hybrid catalyst is a rare case of an inorganic–organic hybrid polyoxometalate (POM) with a PDA ligand based on CSD search (CSD version 5.40/November2018). The hybrid catalyst was further characterized via powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern at room temperature which indicated the good phase purity of the catalyst. BET and Langmuir surface area analysis indicate surface area of POM@Dy-PDA 6.6 and 51.3 m2g-1, respectively. The catalytic activity of the hybrid catalyst was successfully examined in the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives through a multicomponent reaction. A three-component, one-pot reaction involving differently substituted benzaldehydes, resorcinol/α-naphthol/β-naphthol/4-hydroxycoumarin/3-methyl-4H-pyrazole-5(4H)-one, and malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate in the presence of a catalytic quantity of the aforementioned hybrid catalyst in EtOH/H₂O under reflux condition gave the corresponding highly functionalized 2-amino-4H-chromenes in satisfactory yields. The catalyst can be reused several times without appreciable loss in its catalytic activity.
