Synthesis and spectroscopic studies of 2,5-hexanedione bis(isonicotinylhydrazone) and its first raw transition metal complexes

Influences of γ-ray irradiation on physico-chemical, structural, X-ray diffraction, thermal and antimicrobial activity of some γ-irradiated N',N'''-((Z)-ethane-1,2-diylidine)bis(2-aminobenzohydrazide) metal complexes

A series of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Th(IV) and UO₂(II) complexes have been synthesized from reaction of nitrogen based ligand (L) i.e. N',N'''-((Z)-ethane-1,2-diylidine)bis(2-aminobenzohydrazide)(L) with their salts. Investigation of synthesized metal complexes was achieved by using elemental analyses, magnetic moment, molar conductance, FT-IR, UV/Vis. spectroscopy, thermal techniques and 3D molecular modeling. An octahedral geometry has been suggested for all complexes except for Ni(II) complex (2) which adopted tetrahedral geometry. To through a light on the probability of structure changes with γ-irradiation, the effect of gamma irradiation on powder samples of the complexes [Co(L)Cl₂].4H₂O (1); [Ni₂(L)(OAc)₄].5H₂O (2) and [Cu(L)Br₂].5H₂O (3) was investigated after being exposed to high energetic γ-rays at 100 kGy dose (hereafter referred to as (1A,2A,3A, respectively). Spectral, thermal, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance and powder X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) were performed before and after irradiation. In addition, the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the complexes against Staphylococcus aureus as Gram-positive strain, Escherichia coli as Gram-negative strain and antifungal Candida albicans was performed for both unirradiated and irradiated samples. The obtained results showed that the irradiated complexes were affected, but not greatly by the applied γ-irradiation dose.

Synthesis, crystal structure, characterization and biological activity of 2,5-hexanedione bis(isonicotinylhydrazone) and N-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)isonicotinamide complexes

The reaction between 2,5-hexanedione and isonicotinic acid hydrazide in EtOH gave two products. The ethanol insoluble product was identified as 2,5-hexanedione bis(isonicotinylhydrazone) [HINH] and the soluble ethanol product as N-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)isonicotinamide [DINA]. A series of Cr(3+), Fe(3+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Hg(2+) and Pd(2+) complexes of HINH and Co(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+) and Hg(2+) complexes of DINA have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Based on the elemental analysis, mass spectra and molar conductance, the complexes have assigned the proposed imperical formulae. The crystal structures of N-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)isonicotinamide and its Zn(2+) and Hg(2+) complexes have been solved by X-ray diffraction having [Zn(DINA)2Cl2] and [Hg(DINA)2Cl2] in a tetrahedral structure. In the DINH complexes, the ligand coordinates as a monodentate through the pyridine nitrogen. On the other hand, HINH behaves as a tetradentate (neutral or binegative) manner with the two metal ions. The magnetic moments and electronic spectra of all complexes provide tetrahedral, square-planar, trigonal biyramid and/or octahedral structure. The thermal decomposition of the complexes revealed the outer and inner solvents as well as the end product. The steady part of [Zn(DINA)2Cl2] and [Hg(DINA)2Cl2] thermograms till 303 and 286 °C indicates the absence of any outside solvents. All compounds have activity against bacteria more than fungi. [Cd4(HINH)Cl8]·3H2O has the highest values.

Synthesis, spectroscopic studies and inhibitory activity against bacteria and fungi of acyclic and macrocyclic transition metal complexes containing a triamine coumarine Schiff base ligand

Two series of new mono and binuclear complexes with a Schiff base ligand derived from the condensation of 3-acetylcoumarine and diethylenetriamine, in the molar ratio 2:1 have been prepared. The ligand was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-visible, (1)H-NMR and mass spectra. The reaction of the Schiff base ligand with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and oxovanadium(IV) lead to mono or binuclear species of cyclic or macrocyclic complexes, depending on the mole ratio of metal to ligand and as well as on the method of preparation. The Schiff base ligand behaves as a cyclic bidentate, tetradendate or pentaentadentae ligand. The formation of macrocyclic complexes depends significantly on the dimension of the internal cavity, the rigidity of the macrocycles, the nature of its donor atoms and on the complexing properties of the anion involved in the coordination. Electronic spectra and magnetic moments of the complexes indicate that the geometries of the metal centers are either square pyramidal or octahedral for acyclic or macro-cyclic complexes. The structures are consistent with the IR, UV-visible, ESR, (1)H-NMR, mass spectra as well as conductivity and magnetic moment measurements. The Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were tested against two pathogenic bacteria as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as one kind of fungi. Most of the complexes exhibit mild antibacterial and antifungal activities against these organisms.

Chelation, spectroscopic characterization, biological activity and crystal structure of 2,3-butanedione isonicotinylhydrazone: Determination of Zr(4+) after flotation separation

New metal complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pd(II) and Hg(II) with 2,3-butanedione isonicotinylhydrazone [BINH] have been prepared and investigated. Single crystal for BINH is grown and solved as orthorhombic with P 21 21 2 space group. The formula of the ligand was assigned based on the elemental analysis, mass spectra and conductivity measurements. The complexes assigned the formulae [M(BINH-H)Cl]⋅nH2O (MCo(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II); n=0 or 1); [Hg(BINH-H)(H2O)2Cl]; [Cd(BINH)Cl2]⋅2H2O and [Pd(BINH)Cl2]⋅H2O. All complexes are nonelectrolytes. BINH acts as a tridentate ligand in [M(BINH-H)Cl]⋅nH2O and [Hg(BINH-H)(H2O)2Cl] coordinating through COketonic, COamedic and CNhy and as a neutral bidentate through COketonic and CNhy in [Cd(BINH)Cl2]⋅2H2O and [Pd(BINH)Cl2]⋅H2O; the pyridine nitrogen has no rule in coordination. The data are supported by NMR ((1)H and (13)C) spectra. The magnetic moments and electronic spectra provide a tetrahedral structure for the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes; square-planar for the Pd(II) complex and octahedral for the Hg(II) complex. The TGA of the complexes depicted the outer and inner water molecules as well as the final residue. The cobalt and cadmium complexes ended with the metal while the Cu(II), Zn(II) and Pd(II) complexes ended with complex species. [Hg(BINH-H)(H2O)2Cl] has no residue. The ligand is inactive against all tested organisms except for Bacillus thuringiensis. The Hg(II) complex is found more active than the other complexes. The flotation technique is found applicable for the separation of micro amount (10ppm) of Zr(4+) using 10ppm of BINH and 1×10(-5)molL(-1) of oleic acid at pH 6 with efficiency of 98% with no interferences.

Spectroscopic characterization and biological activity of dihydrazone transition metal complexes: crystal structure of 2,3-butanedione bis(isonicotinylhydrazone)

Metal complexes of the chloride, nitrate and acetate salts of Co(II), Ni(II) Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) or Hg(II) with 2,3-butanedione bis(isonicotinylhydrazone) [BBINH] have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The crystal of BBINH was solved to crystallize as monoclinic system with space group of P121/c14. The formulae of the complexes were assigned based on the elemental analysis and mass spectra. The formation of BBINH complexes depend on the metal anion used. All complexes are nonelectrolytes except for the complexes 2, 3, 4 are (1:1) and 13 and 14 which are 1:2 electrolytes. BBINH behaves as a neutral tetradentate (N2O2) in the chloride complexes of Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II). In [Co2(BBINH)(H2O)Cl3]Cl⋅H2O, BBINH has the same dentate but with the two Co(II) ions. In the acetate complexes, [Ni2(BBINH-2H)(H2O)2(OAc)2]⋅3H2O and [Cu2(BBINH-2H)(OAc)2]⋅5H2O, BBINH acts as a binegative tetradentate with the two metal ions. The ligand in the nitrate complexes acts as a neutral bidentate via the two hydrazone azomethine C=NHy; the nitrate ions are ionic in the Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes and covalent in the Ni(II) complex. The data are supported by NMR ((1)H and (13)C) spectra. The magnetic moments and electronic spectra of all complexes provide tetrahedral, square planar and/or octahedral structure. The decomposition of the complexes revealed the outer and inner solvents as well as the remaining residue based on TGA. The complexes have variable activities against some bacteria and fungi. The ligand is inactive against all tested organisms. The activity of Cd(II) and Hg(II) may be related to the geometry of the complexes.

Transition metal complexes of a new 15-membered [N5] penta-azamacrocyclic ligand with their spectral and anticancer studies

Novel penta-azamacrocyclic 15-membered [N5] ligand [L] i.e. 1,5,8,12-tetetraaza-3,4: 9,10-dibenzo-6-ethyl-7-methyl-1,12-(2,6-pyrido)cyclopentadecan-5,7 diene-2,11-dione and its transition metal complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Ru(III) and Pd(II) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, spectral, thermal as well as magnetic and molar conductivity measurements. On basis of IR, MS, UV-Vis 1H NMR and EPR spectral studies an octahedral geometry has been proposed for all complexes except Co(II), Cu(II) nitrate complexes and Pd(II) chloride complex that adopt tetrahedral, square pyramidal and square planar geometries, respectively. The antitumor activity of the synthesized ligand and some complexes against human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7) and human hepatocarcinoma cell lines (HepG2) has been studied. The complexes (IC50=2.04-9.7, 2.5-3.7 μg/mL) showed potent antitumor activity comparable with their ligand (IC50=11.7, 3.45 μg/mL) against the above mentioned cell lines, respectively. The results evidently show that the activity of the ligand becomes more pronounced and significant when coordinated to the metal ion.

Spectroscopic and structural study of some 2,5-hexanedione bis(salicyloylhydrazone) complexes: crystal structures of its Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes and N-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-2-hydroxy-benzamide

The reaction between 2,5-hexanedione and salicylic acid hydrazide produced two compounds: 2,5-hexanedione bis(salicyloylhydrazone) [HDSH] (ethanol insoluble) and N-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-2-hydroxybenzamide [DPH] (ethanol soluble). HDSH formed complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pd(II) which are characterized by elemental analyses, spectra (IR, (1)H NMR, ESR and MS), thermal and magnetic measurements. The crystals of [Ni(HDSH-2H)(EtOH)(H2O)] and [Cu(HDSH-2H)] were solved having octahedral and square-planar geometries, respectively. The other complexes have the formulae [Co(HDSH-2H)(H2O)2], [Cu(HDSH-H)2], [Zn(HDSH-2H)(H2O)2], [Cd2(HDSH-4H)(H2O)4], [Cd2(HDSH-2H)(H2O)4Cl2]; [Hg(HDSH-2H)] and [Pd2(HDSH-4H)(H2O)4]. The obtained complexes are stable in air and non-hygroscopic. The magnetic moments and electronic spectra of the complexes provide different geometries. The ESR spectra support the mononuclear geometry for [Cu(HDSH-2H)] and [Cu(HDSH-H)2]. The thermal decomposition of the complexes revealed the coordinated waters as well as the end product which is in most cases the metal oxide. The crystal structure of N-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-2-hydroxybenzamide is solved by X-ray technique.
