Synthesis and characterization of heterobimetallic molybdenum and nickel complexes derived from polyfunctional disalicylaldehyde oxaloyldihydrazone

Synthesis, characterization and electrochemical studies of some Ni(II)Cu(II) heterobimetallic complexes derived from succinoyldihydrazones

Synthesis, structural characterization and redox properties of three heterobimetallic complexes with formule {[NiCu(L(n))(CH3OH)3]·CH3OH} using [Cu(H2L(n))(H2O)] as metalloligand have been demonstrated in the present paper. Electronic spectroscopy suggests that the copper center has a pseudo square pyramidal stereochemistry in all the complexes while the nickel center has a distorted octahedral stereochemistry. The electron transfer reactions of the complexes have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry.

Structural, spectral, NLO and MEP analysis of the [MgO₂Ti₂(OPr(i)ⁱⁱ)₆], [MgO₂Ti₂(OPr(i)ⁱ)₂(acac)₄] and [MgO₂Ti₂(OPr(i)ⁱ)2(bzac)₄] by DFT method

Quantum chemical calculations are performed on [MgO2Ti2(OPr(i))6] and [MgO2Ti2(OPr(i))2(L)4] complexes. L is acetylacetonate (acac) and benzoylacetonate (bzac) anion. The crystal structures of these complexes have not been obtained as experimentally but optimized structures of these complexes are obtained as theoretically in this study. Universal force field (UFF) and DFT/B3LYP method are used to obtain optimized structures. Theoretical spectral analysis (IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR) is compared with their experimental values. A good agreement is found between experimental and theoretical spectral analysis. These results mean that the optimized structures of mentioned complexes are appropriate. Additionally, the active sites of mentioned complexes are determined by molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) diagrams and non-linear optical (NLO) properties are investigated.

Synthesis, characterization and reactivity of trinuclear Cu(II) complexes derived from disalicylaldehyde malonoyldihydrazone

Three new homotrinuclear copper(II) complexes [Cu3(slmh)(μ-Cl)2(CH3OH)3]⋅0.5CH3OH (1), [Cu3(slmh)(NO3)2(CH3OH)5]⋅1.5CH3OH (2) and [Cu3(slmh)(μ-ClO4)2(CH3OH)3]⋅2CH3OH (3) from disalicylaldehyde malonoyldihydrazone have been synthesized and characterized. The composition of the complexes has been established on the basis of data obtained from analytical and thermoanalytical data. The structure of the complexes has been discussed in the light of molar conductance, electronic, FT-IR and far-IR spectral data, magnetic moment and EPR spectral studies. The molar conductance values for the complexes in DMSO solution indicate that all of them are non-electrolyte. The magnetic moment values for the complexes suggest considerable metal-metal intramolecular interaction between metal ions in the structural unit of the complexes. The EPR spectral features reveal that at RT, the ground state for the complexes is a mixture of the quartet state (S=3/2) and doublet state (S=1/2). At lower temperature, the ground state for the complexes is dx(2)-y(2) with considerable contribution from dz(2) orbital. Dihydrazone ligand is present in enol form in all of the complexes. The complexes have distorted square pyramidal stereochemistry. The electron transfer reactions of the complexes have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Hydrogen peroxide mediated oxidation of benzyl alcohol catalyzed by complex 1 has been studied.

Synthesis and characterization of heterotrinuclear bis(μ2-chlorido)dicopper (II) mono zinc(II) complexes derived from succinoyldihydrazones

Three new zinc (II)-copper (II) heterometallic trinuclear complexes of the composition [ZnCu2(L(n))(μ2-Cl)2(H2O)6]⋅2H2O (H4L(n)=H4L(1), H4L(2), H4L(3)) have been synthesized from substituted succinoyldihydrazones (H4L(n)) in methanol medium. The composition of the complexes has been established on the basis of data obtained from analytical, mass spectral studies and molecular weight determinations in DMSO. The structure of the ligand H4L(2) has been established by X-ray crystallography. The structure of the complexes has been discussed in the light of molar conductance, magnetic moment, electronic, EPR, IR and FT-IR spectral studies. The molar conductance values for the complexes fall in the region 1.2-1.7 ohm(-1) cm(2) mol(-1) in DMSO solution indicating that all of these are non-electrolyte. The magnetic moment values suggest weak M-M interaction in the structural unit of the complexes. The dihydrazone ligand is present in enol form in all of the complexes. Copper centre has tetragonally distorted octahedral stereochemistry. The EPR parameters of the complexes indicate that the copper centre has doublet state as the ground state. The electron transfer reactions of the complexes have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry.
