Charge-transfer interaction of iodine with some polyamidoamines

The interaction of iodine as a sigma-acceptor with two derivatives of polyamidoamine dendrimers (donor), 1,8-naphthalimide polyamidoamine (PAM1) and 4-piperidino-1,8-naphthalimide polyamidoamine (PAM2) have been investigated spectrophotometrically at room temperature in chloroform. The results indicate the formation of two CT-complexes [(PAM1)I](+)I(3)(-) and [(PAM2)(2)I](+)I(3)(-) with molar ratios of 1:2 and 1:1, respectively. The formation of these two complexes are in good agreement with their elemental analysis, infrared measurements and photometric titration plots based on the characteristic absorption bands of I(3)(-) ion around 280 and 360 nm. Moreover the formation of triiodide ion, I(3)(-), in both of the two complexes was supported by measuring their spectra in the far-infrared region. Three characteristic bands are observed at 125, 110 and 75 cm(-1) due to nu(as)(I-I), nu(s)(I-I) and delta(I(3)(-)), respectively, with C(2v) symmetry.     

Alginate polyelectrolyte ionotropic gels. XVIII. Oxidation of alginate polysaccharide by potassium permanganate in alkaline solutions: Kinetics of decomposition of intermediate complex

The kinetics of decomposition of [Alg · Mn ^VIO₄^2?] intermediate complex have been investigated spectrophotometrically at a constant ionic strength of 0.5 mol dm^?3. The decomposition reaction was found to be first-order in the intermediate concentration. The results showed that the rate of reaction was base-catalyzed. The kinetic parameters have been evaluated and found to be ΔS^? = ?103.88±6.18 J mol^?1 K^?1, ΔH^? = 51.61 ± 1.02 kJ mol^?1, and ΔG^? = 82.57 ± 2.86 kJ mol^?1, respectively. A reaction mechanism consistent with the results is discussed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis of Some New Thiazole,Oxazole, Pyrimidine and Pyridazine Derivatives from 2‐cyano‐N‐octadecyl‐acetamide as Antimicrobial and Surface Active Agents

The motivation behind the present work is to synthesize some nonionic surfactants containing heterocyclic nucleus with intermediate fatty compounds for improving their surfactants properties. 2‐Cyano‐N‐octadecylacetamide was utilized as key intermediate for the synthesis of some new thiazole, pyrazole, oxazole, pyrimidine, 1,3‐dithiolane, thiophene, coumarin, oxazine and pyridazine derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds undergo propoxylation using propylene oxide to afford nonionic surface active agents. The antimicrobial and surface activities were evaluated and characterized through investigations of their spreading behavior in monolayer on water.     

PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF PESTICIDES, 71. REGIOSELECTIVE PHOTODIMERIZATION OF o,o-DIETHYL-o-(3-CHLORO-4-METHYLCOUMARIN-7-YL)-THIOPHOSPHATE (COUMAPHOS)

Abstract

UV-irradiation (λ > 313 nm) of o,o-diethyl-o-(3-chloro-4-methyl-coumarin-7-yl)-thiophosphate (Coumaphos; 1) in chloroform results in an regioselective dimerization reaction to afford the head-to-tail anti-dimer 2. The structure of 2 is established by single crystal x-ray diffraction. Singlet oxygen does not affect the formation of 2.     

Transition Metal Complexes of Dis(thiosemicarbazone): Synthesis and Spectral,and Antifungal Studies

Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes have been synthesized with benzil bis(thiosemicarbazone) (L) and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, thermogravimetric studies, infrared (IR), electronic, and electron paramagnetic resonance (eEPR) spectral studies. The molar conductance measurements of the complexes in DMF correspond to the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. Thus these complexes may be formulated as [M(L)X₂] (where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and X = Cl^? and NO₃ ^?). On the basis of IR, electronic, and EPR spectral studies, an octahedral geometry has been assigned for Mn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes, whereas a tetragonal geometry for the Cu(II) complexes is presumed. The free ligand and its metal complexes were tested against the phytopathogenic fungi (i.e., Rhizoctonia baticola, Alternaria alternata) in vitro.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of indomethacin-Cd(II), Ce(III), and Th(IV) complexes: IR, 1H NMR,thermal, and biological studies

Solid complexes have been prepared and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis, and ¹H NMR. Indomethacin forms complexes with Cd(II), Ce(III), and Th(IV) ions in molar ratios (ligand: metal) (2: 1), (3: 1), and (4: 1), respectively. The IR spectra of the complexes suggest that the Indomethacin behaves as a monobasic monodentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the deprotonated carboxylate group. Prepared complexes exhibit higher antimicrobial activity against several microorganisms, compared to free ligand.     

Reduction Reaction of the Copper(II) Complex Bearing 1,3-Di(pyridine-2-carboxaldimino)propane (pitn) by Decamethylferrocene in Acetonitrile

The reduction reaction of the Cu(II)–pitn complex (pitn = 1,3-di(pyridine-2-carboxaldimino)propane) by decamethylferrocene [Fe(Cp*)₂] was examined in acetonitrile. The observed pseudo-first-order rate constants exhibited saturation kinetics with increasing excess amount of [Fe(Cp*)₂]. Detailed analyses revealed that the reaction is controlled by a structural change prior to the electron transfer step, rather than a conventional bimolecular electron transfer process preceded by ion pair (encounter complex) formation. The rate constant for the structural change was estimated to be 275 ± 13 s^?1 at 298 K (?H* = 33.3 ± 1.0 kJ·mol^?1, ?S* = 86 ± 5 J·mol^?1·K^?1), which is the fastest among gated reactions involving CuN₄ complexes. It was confirmed by EPR measurement and Conflex calculations that the dihedral angle between the two N–N planes is significantly large (40°) in solution whereas it is merely 17.14° in the crystal.     

Spectroscopic characterization of charge-transfer complexes of morpholine with chloranilic and picric acids in organic media: Crystal structure of bis(morpholinium 2,4,6-trinitrocyclohexanolate)

Electron donor–acceptor interaction of morpholine (morp) with chloranilic acid (cla) and picric acid (pa) as π-acceptors was investigated spectrophotometrically and found to form stable charge-transfer (CT) complexes (n–π*) of [(Hmorp)₂(cla)] and [(Hmorp)(pa)]₂. The donor site involved in CT interaction is morpholine nitrogen. These complexes are easily synthesized from the reaction of morp with cla and pa within MeOH and CHCl₃ solvents, respectively. ¹HNMR, IR, elemental analyses, and UV–vis techniques characterize the two morpholinium charge-transfer complexes. Benesi–Hildebrand and its modification methods were applied to the determination of association constant (K), molar extinction coefficient (?). The X-ray crystal structure was carried out for the interpretation the predict structure of the [(Hmorp)(pa)]₂ complex.     

Mononuclear transition and non-transition complexes of amlodipine besylate as antihypertensive agent: synthesis,spectral, thermal,and antimicrobial studies

Mononuclear Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Ca(II), Pt(IV), Au(III), and Pd(II) complexes of the drug amlodipine besylate (HL) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic technique (IR, UV–Vis, solid reflectance, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and ¹H-NMR) and magnetic measurements. The elemental analyses of the complexes are confirmed by the stoichiometry of the types [M(HL)(X)₂(H₂O)]·nH₂O [M = Mn(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), and Ca(II); X = Cl^? or NO₃ ^?], [Cd(HL)(H₂O)]Cl₂, [Pd(HL)₂]Cl₂, [Pt(L)₂]Cl₂, and [Au(L)₂]Cl, respectively. Infrared data revealed that the amlodipine besylate drug ligand chelated as monobasic tridentate through NH₂, oxygen (ether), and OH of besylate groups in Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Ca(II), and Au(III) complexes, but in Pt(IV) and Pd(II) complexes, the amlodipine besylate coordinates via NH₂ and OH (besylate) groups. An octahedral geometry is proposed for all complexes except for the Cd(II), Pt(IV), and Pd(II) complexes. The amlodipine besylate free ligand and the transition and non-transition complexes showed antibacterial activity towards some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the fungi (Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans).
