Cobalt(II) complexes of new biomimetic polydentate amide: spectroscopic, kinetics of thermal decomposition and XRPD studies

Bis-amide transition metal complexes: isomerism and DNA interaction study

A quatridentate bis-amide ligand, N,N'-propylenebis(salicylamide) H2pbs, and its transition metal complexes [M(pbs)(H2O)2], where M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, NMR, Mass, EPR, molar conductivity, magnetic moment values and thermal analysis. The NMR spectrum of ligand evidences the E/Z isomerism. All the evidences reveal that the metal ions adopt octahedral geometry with metal:ligand:solvent ratio 1:1:2. The conductivity measurements exhibit that the complexes are non-electrolytes. DNA binding properties of these complexes have been explored by UV-Vis and cyclic voltammetry. The results indicate that these complexes are good intercalators.

Spectroscopic characterization of bioactive carboxyamide with trinuclear lanthanide (III) ions

Complexes of La(III), Sm(III), Eu(III) and Tb(III) with bioactive carboxyamide ligands N',N''-bis(3-caboxy-1-oxophenelenyl)2-amino-N-arylbenzamidine have been synthesized and characterized by various physico-chemical techniques. Mass spectrum explains the successive degradation of the molecular species in solution and justifies ML complexes. Vibrational spectra indicate coordination of Ln(III) with amide and carboxylate oxygen of the ligand along with nitrate ions. The magnetic moment of Sm(III) and Eu(III) complexes showed slightly higher-values which originated due to low J-J separation leading to thermal population of next higher energy J levels and susceptibility due to first order Zeeman effect. The strong luminescence emitting peaks at 587 nm for Eu(III) and 543 nm for Tb(III) can be observed, which could be attributed to the ligand have an enhanced effect to the luminescence intensity of the Eu(III) and Tb(III). The thermal behaviour of complexes shows that water molecules and nitrate ion are removed in first step followed by the removal of two molecules of nitrate ions and then decomposition of the ligand molecule in subsequent step. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were computed from the thermal data using Coats and Redferm method, which confirm first order kinetics.

Characterization and electrochemical studies of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with 2-mercapto-3-substituted-quinazolin-4-one and 1,10-phenanthroline or ethylenediamine as ligands

Some mixed ligand complexes of the type [M(L(1) or L(2))(phen or en)(H(2)O)Cl], where M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II); HL(1)=2-mercapto-quinazolin-4-one; HL(2)=2-mercapto-3-phenyl-quinazolin-4-one; phen=1,10-phenanthroline; en=ethylenediamine have been prepared. All complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, UV-vis, ESR and powder X-ray diffraction studies. IR spectra of these complexes reveal that the complex formation occurred through both nitrogen and sulphur atoms. On the basis of electronic spectral data and magnetic susceptibility measurement octahedral geometry has been proposed for the complexes. The ESR spectral data of the Cu(II) complexes showed that the metal-ligand bonds have considerable covalent character. X-ray diffraction studies of Cu(II) complexes are used to elucidate the crystal structure. The electrochemical behaviour of mixed ligand Ni(II) complexes was studied which showed that complexes of phen appear at more positive potential as compared to those for corresponding en complexes.
