Biologically active nickel(ll), copper(ll) and zinc(ll) chelates with thiazole-derived nitro- and chlorosalicylaldehyde Schiff-bases having the same metal ion but different anions, e.g. nitrate, sulfate, oxalate and acetate have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of their physical, spectral and analytical data. In order to evaluate the possible participating role of anions on the antibacterial properties, these ligands and their synthesized metal chelates with various anions have been screened against bacterial species Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.     

Antibacterial Co(II) and Ni(II) Complexes of N-(2-Furanylmethylene)-2-Aminothiadiazole and Role of SO(4), NO(3), C(2)O(4) and CH(3)CO(2) anions on Biological Properties

Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes with a Schiff base, N-(2-furanylmethylene)-2-aminothiadiazole have been prepared and characterized by their physical, spectral and analytical data. The synthesized Schiff-bases act as tridentate ligands during the complexation reaction with Co(II) and Ni(II. metal ions. They possess the composition [M(L)(2)]X(n) (where M=Co(II) or Ni(II), L=, X=NO(3) (-), SO(4) (2-), C(2)O(4) (2-) or CH(3)CO(2) (-) and n=1 or 2) and show an octahedral geometry. In order to evaluate the effect of anions upon chelation, the Schiff-base and its complexes have been screened for antibacterial activity against bacterial strains e.g., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.     

Antibacterial Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) Complexes of Thiadiazoles Schiff Bases

Schiff bases were obtained by condensation of 2-amino-l,3,4-thiadiazole with 5-substituted-salicylaldehydes which were further used to obtain complexes of the type [M(L)(2)]Cl(2), where M=Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) or Zn(II). The new compounds described here have been characterized by physical, spectral and analytical data, and have been screened for antibacterial activity against several bacterial strains such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antibacterial potency of these Schiff bases increased upon chelation/complexation, against the tested bacterial species, opening new aproaches in the fight against antibiotic resistant strains.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Fluorescence and Thermostability of Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) Complexes with Schiff Base 2-Acetylpyridine-d-tryptophan

Three novel transition metal coordination polymers, [Ni(C₁₈H₁₆N₃O₂)₂·2CH₃OH] _n (1), [Zn(C₁₈H₁₆N₃O₂)₂·4CH₃OH] _n (2) and [Cd(C₁₈H₁₆N₃O₂)₂·2CH₃OH] _n (3) (C₁₈H₁₆N₃O₂=2-acetylpyridine-d-tryptophan) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, ¹H NMR and X-ray diffraction single crystal analysis. The analyses of the structures indicate that all three materials crystallize in the tetragonal crystal system, space group P4₁2₁2. They have similar structures; i.e., the Schiff base coordinates in its deprotonated form and behaves as a hexadentate (4N+2O) coordinated ligand to form a distorted octahedron geometry. On the other hand, as a result of the alternate arrangement of chains through N–H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds interactions, 2-D layers are formed for the three complexes. Furthermore, the luminescent properties and thermal stabilities of the three complexes were investigated.

Homogenous and Heterogeneous Catalytic Activity of Azo-Linked Schiff Base Complexes of Mn(II), Cu(II) and Co(II)

Abstract  

Azo linked Schiff-base[L] complexes of Mn(II)(1), Cu(II)(2) and Co(II)(3) obtained by template method, in the reaction of 4-(benzeneazo) salicylaldehyde with 1,2-propanediamine in the present of metal acetate, respectively. Complexes are used as catalyst for oxidation of cyclohexene with tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP); oxidation of cyclohexene catalyzed by these complexes gave 2-cyclohexene-1-one and 2-cyclohexene-1-ol as major products. Conversion of cyclohexene achieved was 95–100% with (1), (2) and (3), with selectivity of 57, 92 and 100% for 2-cyclohexene-1-one, respectively. The encapsulated Cu(II) complex (Cu–NaY) catalyzes the oxidation of cyclohexene using TBHP as oxidant in good yield. (Cu–NaY) under optimized reaction condition gave three reaction products. A maximum of 100% conversion of cyclohexene has been achieved where selectivity of 2-cyclohexene-1-one was 83%.     

Synthesis and Catalytic Activities of Silica-Supported Multifunctional Azo-Containing Schiff Base Complexes with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II)

A novel 4-((5-formyl-2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)diazenyl)benzylphosphonic acid (FPABP) ligand was synthesized and bound to silica-gel which was activated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II) complexes of silica-supported ligand (FDPDABP) were synthesized. The ligand and its complexes were characterized by using NMR, FT-IR, elemental analysis, ICP-OES and scanning electron Microscope (SEM). Catalytic properties of the complexes were investigated for the selective oxidation of cyclohexane under microwave power. SiO₂-FDPDABP-Cu(II) complex showed good catalytic activitiy for the selective oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol with 35.61% yield and cyclohexanone with 7.74% yield.     

Multifunctional Composites of Chiral Valine Derivative Schiff Base Cu(II) Complexes and TiO2

We have prepared four new Cu(II) complexes containing valine moieties with imidazole ligands at the fourth coordination sites and examined their photo-induced reactions with TiO₂ in order of understanding the reaction mechanisms. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the intermolecular electron transfer reactions (essentially supramolecular interactions) of these systems, which resulted in the reduction of Cu(II) species to Cu(I) ones, occurred after UV light irradiation. In this study, we have investigated the conditions of the redox reactions in view of substituent effects of aldehyde moieties. The results of cyclic voltammetry (CV) on an rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) suggested that the substitution effects and redox potentials were correlated. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations were also performed to simulate the UV–Vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectra; the results revealed a reasonably good correlation between the substituent effects and the highest occupied molecular orbitals and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO-LUMO) gaps associated with the most intense transition bands. In addition, we summarized the substitution effects of Cu(II) complexes for their corresponding UV light-induced reactions.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Properties of Tridentate NNO, NNS and NNN Donor Thiazole-Derived Furanyl, Thiophenyl and Pyrrolyl Schiff Bases and Their Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) Metal Chelates

2-Aminothiazole undergoes condensation reactions with furane-, thiophene- and pyrrole-2-carboxylaldehyde to give tridentate NNO, NNS and NNN Schiff bases respectively. These tridentate Schiff bases formed complexes of the type [M (L)(2)]X(2) where [M=Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) or Zn(II), L=N-(2-furanylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L(1)), N-(2-thiophenylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L(2), N-(2-pyrrolylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L(3)) and X=Cl. The structures of these Schiff bases and of their complexes have been determined on the basis of their physical, analytical and spectral data. The screening results of these compounds indicated them to possess excellent antibacterial activity against tested pathogenic bacterial organisms e.g., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureous and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, in comparison, their metal chelates have been shown to possess more antibacterial activity than the uncomplexed Schiff bases.

Some Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes of antibacterial drug cephradine have been prepared and characterized by their physical, spectral and analytical data. Cephradine acts as bidentate and the complexes have compositions, [M(L)(2)X(2)] where [M = Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II), L = cephradine and X = Cl(2)] showing octahedral geometry, and [M(L)(2)] where [M = Cu(II), L = cephradine] showing square planar geometry. In order to evaluate the effect of metal ions upon chelation, eephradine and its complexes have been screened for their antibacterial activity against bacterial strains, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.     

Synthesis,characterizations, and crystal structure of a novel layered phosphonate: Zn2Cl[O3PCH2N(CH2CH2)2O][O3PCH2NH(CH2CH2)2O]

A novel layered zinc phosphonate, Zn₂Cl[O₃PCH₂N(CH₂CH₂)₂O][O₃PCH₂NH(CH₂CH₂)₂O] 1 has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction at 180 °C and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction as well as with infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. The interconnection of Zn(1)O₄, Zn(2)O₂NCl and CPO₃ tetrahedra via corner-sharing forms a double layer structure with a channel system along b-axis direction. The result of connections in this manner is the formation of 8- and 16-atom windows that are parallel to one another and run in the a-axis direction. The morpholinyl groups of the ligands are orientated toward the interlayer space.     

Low-Pressure Carbonylation of Benzyl Bromide with Palladium Complexes Modified with PNS (PNS = Ph2PCH2CH2C(O)NHC(CH3)2CH2SO3Li) or P(OPh)3. Structural Identification of Palladium-Catalyst Intermediate

The catalytic activities of two palladium complexes with water soluble phosphine PNS (PNS = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂C(O)NHC(CH₃)₂CH₂SO₃Li) (I) and phosphite P(OPh)₃ (II) were tested in the carbonylation of benzyl bromide in methanol at 40–50°C and 1 atm of CO. The first catalyst, (I), was formed in situ from PdCl₂(cod) and PNS, the second one, (II), was based on the PdCl₂(P(OPh)₃)₂ complex. At the ratio of [NEt₃]:[PhCH₂Br] equal to 2.5 the yields of phenylacetic acid methyl ester were 83–86% in the carbonylation with PNS and 100% in the carbonylation with P(OPh)₃. The palladium catalyst with P(OPh)₃ produced under the same conditions 70% of phenylacetic acid methyl ester in the carbonylation of benzyl chloride and 60% of 2-methylphenylacetic acid methyl ester in the carbonylation of 1-bromoethylbenzene. The lower rate of carbonylation of 1-bromoethylbenzyl bromide in comparison to that of benzyl bromide was explained by the lower rate of the substrate oxidative addition step leading to palladium benzyl complexes. Two palladium benzyl complexes, cis-PdBr(PhCH₂)(P(OPh)₃)₂ and trans-PdBr(PhCH(Me))(P(OPh)₃)₂ have been isolated and characterized (X-ray, ³¹P and ¹H NMR).     

Synthesis, Characterization and Thermal Studies of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) Complexes of N-Methyl-N-Phenyldithiocarbamate: The Single Crystal Structure of [(C(6)H(5))(CH(3))NCS(2)](4)Hg(2)

Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes of N-methyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies (IR, (1)H and (13)C-NMR). The single crystal X-ray structure of the mercury complex revealed that the complex contains a Hg centre with a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere in which the dinuclear Hg complex resides on a crystallographic inversion centre and each Hg atom is coordinated to four S atoms from the dithiocarbamate moiety. One dithiocarbamate ligand acts as chelating ligand while the other acts as chelating bridging ligand between two Hg atoms, resulting in a dinuclear eight-member ring. The course of the thermal degradation of the complexes has been investigated using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses techniques. Thermogravimetric analysis of the complexes show a single weight loss to give MS (M = Zn, Cd, Hg) indicating that they might be useful as single source precursors for the synthesis of MS nanoparticles and thin films.     

Solubility in system CO(NH2)2-NH4NO3-H3PO4-H2O

Solubility data were obtained in the system CO(NH₂)₂-NH₄NO₃-H₃PO₄-H₂O at 0° and 15°C. The results show that high-analysis solution fertilizers can be produced from standard urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) and phosphoric acid materials. These acidic solution fertilizers contain up to 35% total plant nutrient (TPN = N + P₂O₅ + K₂O), with N:P₂O₅ ratios varying from 20:1 to 1.5:1. Potential liquid products having fertilizer grades of 23-12-0, 26-9-0, 28-6-0, and 31-3-0 are feasible.

Complexes of 2-(4-thiazolyi)benzimidazole (thiabendazole, THBD) with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(ll) of general formula ML(2)(NO(3))(2) H(2)O and complexes of Pd(II) and Pt(II) of general formula ML2Cl(2) H(2)O have been obtained and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and far IR spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The X-ray crystal structure of the copper(II) complex has been determined. The in vitro cell proliferation inhibitory activity of these compounds was examined against human cancer cell lines A 549 (lung carcinoma), HCV-29 T (urinary bladder carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast cancer), T47D (breast cancer), MES-SA (uterine carcinoma) and HL-60 (promyelocytic leukemia). Pt-THBD has been found to exhibit an antileukemic activity of the HL-60 line cells matching that of an arbitrary criterion.
