Magnetic, electronic and electrochemical studies of mono and binuclear Cu(II) complexes using novel macrocyclic ligands

Supramolecular spectroscopic and thermal studies of azodye complexes

A series of heterocyclic ligand of copper(II) complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of copper(II) acetate with 5-(4'-derivatives phenylazo)-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (HLn) yields 1:1 and 1:2 (M:L) complexes depending on the reaction conditions. The elemental analysis, spectral (IR and ESR), conductance, magnetic measurements, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) are used to characterize the isolated complexes. It is found that the change of substituent affects the thermal properties of azodye rhodanine derivatives and their Cu(II) complexes. The molecular and electronic structures of the investigated compounds (HLn) were also studied using quantum chemical calculations. According to intramolecular hydrogen bond leads to increasing of the complexes stability. The data revealed that the coordination geometry around Cu(II) in all complexes (1-4) exhibit a trans square planar by NO monobasic bidentate and the two monobasic bidentate in octahedral complexes (5-7). Electronic, magnetic data and ESR spectra proposed the square planar structure for all complexes (1-4) under investigation. The value of covalency factor [Formula: see text] and orbital reduction factor K accounts for the covalent nature of the complexes. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as activation energy (Ea), enthalpy (ΔH(*)), entropy (ΔS(*)), and Gibbs free energy change of the decomposition (ΔG(*)) are calculated using Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods.

Supramolecular spectral studies on metal-ligand bonding of novel quinoline azodyes

A series of novel bidentate azodye quinoline ligands were synthesized with various p-aromatic amines like p-(OCH3, CH3, H, Cl and NO2). All ligands and their complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR data and spectroscopic studies. IR and (1)H NMR studies reveal that the ligands (HLn) exists in the tautomeric azo/hydrazo form in both states with intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The ligands obtained contain NN and phenolic functional groups in different positions with respect to the quinoline group. IR spectra show that the azo compounds (HLn) act as monobasic bidentate ligand by coordinating via the azodye (NN) and oxygen atom of the phenolic group. The ESR (g|| and g ) and bonding α(2) parameters of the copper ion were greatly affected by substituting several groups position of ring of quinoline and p-aromatic ring. The ESR spectra of copper complexes in powder form show a broad signal with values in order g|| >g > ge > 2.0023. The value of covalency factor β and orbital reduction factor K accounts for the covalent nature of the complexes. All complexes possessed an octahedral and square planar geometry. The thermal properties of the complexes were investigated using TGA and DSC. It is found that the change of substituent affects the thermal properties of complexes.

Structural and characterization of novel copper(II) azodye complexes

The synthetic methods of novel Cu(II) and adduct complexes, with selective azodyes containing nitrogen and oxygen donor ligands have been developed, characterized and presented. The prepared complexes fall into the stoichiometric formulae of [Cu(L(n))(2)](A) and [Cu(L(n))(2)(Py)(2)](B), where two types of complexes were expected and described. In type [(A) (1:2)] the chelate rings are six-membered/four coordinate, whereas in type [(B) (1:2:2)] they are six-membered/six coordinate. The important bands in the IR spectra and main (1)H NMR signals are tentatively assigned and discussed in relation to the predicted assembly of the molecular structure. The IR data of the azodye ligands suggested the existing of a bidentate binding involving azodye nitrogen and C-O oxygen atom of enolic group. They also showed the presence of Py coordinating with the metal ion. The coordination geometries and electronic structures are determined from the framework of the proposed modeling of the formed novel complexes. The complexes (1-5) exist in trans-isomeric [N,O] solid form, while adduct complexes (6-10) exist in trans isomeric (Py) form. The square planar/octahedral coordination geometry of Cu(II)/adduct is made up of an N-atom of azodye, the deprotonated enolic O-atom and two Py. The azo group was involved in chelation for all the prepared complexes. ESR spectra show the simultaneous presence of a planar trans and a nearly planar cis isomers in the 1:2 ratio for all N,O complexes [Cu(L(n))(2)]. The ligands in the dimmer are stacked over one another. In the solid state of azo-rhodanine, the dimmers have inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Interactions between the ligands and Cu(II) are also discussed.

Synthesis and spectroscopic studies on the Schiff base ligand derived from condensation of 2-furaldehyde and 3,3'-diaminobenzidene, L and its complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II): comparative DNA binding studies of L and its Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes

The Schiff base ligand, N,N'-bis-(2-furancarboxaldimine)-3,3'-diaminobenzidene (L) obtained by condensation of 2-furaldehyde and 3,3'-diaminobenzidene, was used to synthesize the mononuclear complexes of the type, [M(L)](NO3)2 [M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)]. The newly synthesized ligand, (L) and its complexes have been characterized on the basis of the results of the elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectroscopic studies viz, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, mass, UV-vis and EPR. EPR, UV-vis and magnetic moment data revealed a square planar geometry for the complexes with distortion in Cu(II) complex and conductivity data show a 1:2 electrolytic nature of the complexes. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies support that Schiff base ligand, L and its Cu(II) and Zn(II) complex exhibit significant binding to calf thymus DNA. The highest binding affinity in case of L may be due to the more open structure as compared to the metal coordinated complexes.

Polymer complexes: XLXII-interplay of coordination π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding in supramolecular assembly of [sulpha drug derivatives-N,S:N,O] complexes

A novel series of nickel(II) polymer complexes of 5-sulphadiazineazo-3-phenylamino-2-thio-4-thiazolidinone (HL₁), 5-sulphamethazine-3-phenylamino-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL₂), 5-sulphamethoxazole-3-phenylamino-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL₃), 5-sulphacetamide-3-phenyl-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL₄) and 5-sulphaguanidine-3-phenylamino-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HL₅) were prepared and characterized. IR spectra show that HL(n) (n=1-5) is coordinated to the metal ion in a neutral tetradentate manner with NSNO donor sites of NH (hydrazone's), NH (3-phenylamine), carbonyl group and Ph-NH. The title [Ni₃(HL(n))₂(μ-OAc)₂(OAc)₄](n) consists of three Ni(II) atoms linked by interchain π-π interaction are observed between aromatic rings of two ligands (HL(n)) which are further doubly bridged two adjacent nickel atoms by acetate group. The geometrical structures of these complexes are found to be octahedral. The nature of bonding and the stereochemistry of the complexes have been deduced from elemental analyses, thermal, infrared, ¹H NMR, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. The richness of electronic spectral in these complexes is also supporting evidence for the trinuclearity of the Ni(II) polymer complexes.
