Synthesis, spectral, electrochemical and X-ray single crystal studies on Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes derived from 1-benzoyl-3-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl) thiourea

1-Benzoyl-3-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl) thiourea ligand was coordinated with Ni(II) and Co(II) perchlorate salts to isolate complexes. All the prepared compounds are deliberately investigated by all possible spectral tools. A comparative study for IR spectra reveals the neutral bidentate coordinating nature of the ligand towards the two metal ions. The UV/Vis spectra of the complexes display d-d transition bands proposed an octahedral geometry for the complexes. MS analysis data are concerned especially with the base peak which is corresponding to C28H25N6O2S2 M ion. The fragmentation patterns are relatively matched with each others. Electrochemical studies were carried out using platinum wire and Ag/AgNO3 as counter and reference electrodes, respectively. The data reflect the irreversible nature of the electrode couple and showed two successive one electron transfer process. X-ray single crystal studies are used to verifying the octahedral geometry proposed as well as calculating crystal parameters beside the structural refinements.

Reactivity of the antitumor complex (H2trz)[trans-RuCl4(N2-Htrz)2] in the presence of DNA purines within a fluorinated silica matrix

The stability of the antitumor Ru(III) complex (H(2)trz)[trans-RuCl(4)(N(2)-Htrz)(2)] within a tailored sol-gel silica matrix was studied, combining the information from UV-vis and infrared spectroscopies. The matrix was synthesized by a one-step sol-gel process catalyzed by hydrofluoric acid, resulting extremely light, hydrophobic and fluorinated. It is shown that upon encapsulation, the complex undergoes a series of processes, starting with the increase in charge density on the metal center, followed by hydrolysis reactions. The modified complex interacts with the matrix through hydrogen bonds between the aquo/hydroxo ligands and the fluorine atoms. Its interactions with DNA purines (guanine and adenine) were probed within the confined medium defined by the same silica matrix. It is found that coencapsulated guanine does not interfere with the complex aquation processes, while coencapsulated adenine has a delaying effect. No covalent bonding between the complex and the purines is detected, but interactions between the triazole ligands and the imidazole ring of guanine and the imidazole and pyrimidine rings of adenine are observed. Hydrogen bonding is established between the carbonyl and the ammine groups of guanine and the aquo/hydroxo ligands of the complex. For adenine, those interactions involve mostly the N9H of the purine and the NH groups of the triazole ligands, in addition to π-π interactions.

Synthesis and structure of a new copper(II) complex with 3,4'-bi-1,2,4-triazolate

The salt diaquo-diammine-bis(3,4'-bi-1,2,4-triazolate) copper(II) of the formula [Cu(bTA-)2(NH3)2(H2O)2] has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. This complex adopts a monomeric structure. This monomer crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1 with a=5.9657 Å; b=6.8975 Å; c=9.9892 Å; α=106.181°; β=97.868°; γ=90.800° and Z=1. The Cu atom is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of two monodentate bitriazolate ligands, two nitrogen atoms of NH3 and two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. The complex has been also characterized by elemental analysis and studied by electronic and vibrational spectroscopy. The obtained results are in good agreement with the structure determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Synthesis and explosive properties of copper(II) chlorate(VII) coordination polymer with 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole bridging ligand

Copper(II) chlorate(VII) coordination polymer with 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole as bridging ligand was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and TG/DTA analyses. Sensitivity and detonator tests were also preformed. The compound has a 1D chain structure in which Cu(II) ions are linked by triple triazole N1,N2 bridges. It is a detonat with performance close to that of lead azide, but at the same time it shows moderate sensitivity to thermal (explosively decomposes above 250 degrees C) and mechanical stimuli (sensitivity to friction 10N).
