Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the antimicrobial effects have been tested on various strains of bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi using EPR and electronic spectroscopy, and all the Cu(clof)2L2 compounds seem to possess distorted octahedral copper(II) stereochemistry with differing tetragonal distortions.

Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of [Cu(CH3CCl2CO2)2(3-mpyc)2] (1) (3-mpyc = methyl-3-pyridylcarbamate) and [Cu(CH3CHBrCO2)2(2-pyme)2] (2) (2-pyme = 2-pyridylmethanol) are reported. The compounds under study were characterized by IR, electronic spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. The molecular structure of both Complexes 1 and 2 is mononuclear. The coordination environment around each copper(II) atom is a distorted tetragonal bipyramid.

TL;DR: In this article, Kupfer et al. used a tetragonal pyramidal arrangement around the 2-MeSnic anion to construct a new complex, which has an axial signal which corresponds to almost isolated S = 1/2 magnetic ions.
Abstract: Synthesis and characterization of seven new complexes [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(CH3OH)]2 (where 2-MeSnic is 2-methylthionicotinate), [Cu(2-MeSnic)2L2]2 (where L is pyridine — py, ethylnicotinate — Etnic and butylnicotinate — Bunic), [Cu(2-MeSnic)2L2(H2O)2] (where L is py and nicotinamide — nia) and [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(N-Menia)2(H2O)2]·2H2O (where N-Menia is N-methylnicotinamide) are reported. The characterization were based on elemental analysis, infrared, electronic and EPR spectra, and magnetic susceptibility measurements over a temperature range of 1.8 — 300 K or 70 — 300 K. Three complexes of different type were studied by X-ray analysis. The molecule of [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(CH3OH)]2 has dimeric paddle-wheel cage structure with a tetragonal pyramidal arrangement around CuII. The dimer results from the fact that carboxyl groups of four 2-MeSnic anions function as bridging in a syn-syn arrangement. On the other hand [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(py)2]2 forms dimers with hexacoordinated CuII atoms in highly distorted coordination octahedra, each with two oxygen atoms of bridging carboxyl groups in an anti-anti arrangement of two 2-MeSnic anions, with two oxygen atoms of one asymmetrically chelating 2-MeSnic anion and with two nitrogen atoms of two pyridine ligands. The temperature independent EPR spectrum for this complex exhibits an axial signal which corresponds to almost isolated S = 1/2 magnetic ions. Magnetic data for the dimer show a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the two metal ions with J = —0.65 cm—1. The CuII atom in complex [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(py)2(H2O)2] is hexacoordinated in an elongated centrosymmetrical tetragonal-bipyramidal arrangement (4 + 2). Based on the molecular structure the electronic, infrared, electron paramagnetic resonance spectra and magnetic properties are discussed and stereochemistry as well as the mode of ligand coordination in new solid complexes under study have been determined. Synthese, spektroskopische und magnetische Eigenschaften und Kristallstrukturen von Kupfer(II)-pyridincarboxylato-Addukten mit N-heterozyklischen Liganden Die Synthese und Charakterisierung von sieben neuen Komplexen: [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(CH3OH)]2 (2-MeSnic: 2-Methylthionicotinat), [Cu(2-MeSnic)2L2]2 (L: Pyridin — py, Ethylnicotinat — Etnic und Butylnicotinat — Bunic), [Cu(2-MeSnic)2L2(H2O)2] (L: py und Nicotinamid — nia) und [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(N-Menia)2(H2O)2]·2H2O (N-Menia: N-Methylnicotinamid) wird mitgeteilt. Die Charakterisierungen erfolgen durch Elementaranalysen, Infrarot-, elektronischer und EPR-Spektroskopie sowie Messung der magnetischen Suszeptibilitat uber einen Temperaturbereich von 1, 8—300 K bzw. 70—300 K. Drei unterschiedliche Komplextypen wurden mit Hilfe der Rontgenstrukturanalyse gefunden. Das Molekul [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(CH3OH)]2 hat eine Schaufelrad-Kafigstruktur mit CuII in einer tetragonal-pyramidalen Umgebung. Das Dimer resultiert aus der Tatsache, dass die Carboxylgruppen der vier 2-MeSnic-Anionen verbruckend in einer syn-syn-Anordnung fungieren. [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(py)2]2 hingegen bildet Dimere mit sechsfach koordinierten CuII Ionen in einem stark verzerrten Koordinationsoktaeder, jeweils verbunden mit zwei Sauerstoff Atomen der verbruckenden Carboxylgruppen in einer anti-anti-Anordnung der beiden 2-MeSnic-Anionen, mit zwei Sauerstoff-Atomen eines asymmetrisch chelatisierenden 2-MeSnic-Anions und den Stickstoff-Atomen der beiden Pyridin-Liganden. Das temperaturunabhangige EPR-Spektrum dieses Komplexes liefert ein axiales Signal in Ubereinstimmung mit nahezu isolierten magnetischen S = 1/2 Ionen. Die magnetischen Daten des Dimer belegen eine schwache antiferromagnetische Wechselwirkung zwischen den beiden Metallionen mit J = -0.65 cm—1. Das CuII-Atom des Komplexes [Cu(2-MeSnic)2(py)2(H2O)2] ist sechsfach koordiniert in einer gestreckten zentrosymmetrisch tetragonal-bipyramidalen Umgebung (4 + 2). Ausgehend von der molekularen Struktur werden die elektronischen, infraroten, EPR und magnetischen Eigenschaften diskutiert und sowohl die Stereochemie als auch das Koordinationsverhalten der neuen Verbindungen beschrieben.
