Abstract: Ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes have been synthesised by reacting [RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3] or [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)2(Z)] (Z = PPh3, pyridine (py) or piperidine (pip)) with tridentate Schiff base ligands derived by condensing salicylaldehyde, o-vanillin or o-hydroxyacetophenone with N(4)-phenylsemicarbazide. These complexes have been characterised by analytical, IR, electronic, 1H NMR and 31P NMR spectral studies. The complexes of the general formula [Ru(L)(CO)(PPh3)(Z)] (L = Schiff base anion; Z = PPh3, py or pip) tentatively have been assigned an octahedral structure. Some of the complexes have been tested for in vitro growth inhibitory activity against the bacteria Escherichia coli, Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp.

TL;DR: In this article, neutral complexes of Cu(II, Ni(II), Co(I), Mn(II) and VO(IV) have been synthesized from the Schiff bases derived from salicylidene-4-aminoantipyrine and 2-aminophenol/2-aminothiophenol.
Abstract: Neutral complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), VO(IV) and Zn(II) have been synthesised from the Schiff bases derived from salicylidene-4-aminoantipyrine and 2-aminophenol/2-aminothiophenol. The structural features have been arrived at from their microanalytical, IR, UV-Vis., 1H NMR and ESR spectral data. All of the complexes exhibit square-planar geometry except the Mn(II) and VO(IV) complexes. The Mn(II) chelates show an octahedral environment and the VO(IV) chelates exist in a square-pyramidal geometry. The non-electrolytic and monomeric nature of the complexes are evidenced by their magnetic susceptibility and low conductance data. The electrochemical behaviour of the Cu(II), Mn(II) and VO(IV) complexes in DMSO at 300 °K were studied. [CuL1] complex shows an irreversible peak for the copper(II)/copper(I) couple at Epc1 = 0.16 V and Epa = 0.53V referenced to Ag/AgCl. The cyclic voltammogram of the [CuL2] complex in MeCN at 300°K shows a quasi-reversible peak for the couples copper(II)/copper(III) ...

TL;DR: In this article, the stability constants for complexation between ZnCl2, Cu(NO3)2 and AgNO3 salts and the ligand in 80% dioxane-water and pure methanol were determined by conductance measurements.
Abstract: The complexes Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions with a N2O2 Schiff base derived from 1,4-diaminobutane and salicylaldehyde, N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,4-diaminobutane (LH2), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivities, spectral (IR, NMR, visible, UV) and magnetic moment measurements. Stability constants were measured by means of a conductometric method. Furthermore, the stability constants for complexation between ZnCl2, Cu(NO3)2 and AgNO3 salts and the ligand in 80% dioxane-water and pure methanol were determined by conductance measurements. The magnitudes of these ion association constants are related to the nature of the solvation of the cation and the complexed cation. The mobilities of the complexes are also dependent, in part, upon solvation effects. The complexes Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions with the Schiff base have been evaluated for their antibacterial activity against rec − and rec + stains of Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract: Two new ligands, N,N′-bis[2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-N-(pyridyl) benzylamine]-2,6-di acetylidenepyridine (H2L′) and N, N′-bis [2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-N-(pyridyl)benzylamine]-1,2-phthaldialdimine (H2L″) and their Cu(II), Co(III), Ni(II), Pd(II) and Zn(II) complexes have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, electronic spectra, magnetic moments, 1H and 13C NMR spectra, mass spectral and molar conductance data. The mononuclear Co(III) complexes of these ligands have been isolated with two molecules of DMF. While the Co(III) complex of H2L′ is a 1:1 electrolyte, the other complexes and ligands are non-electrolytes. The ligands H2L′ and H2L″ and some of their complexes show antimicrobial activity against bacteria and yeast.

TL;DR: In this article, the same authors presented a characterization of the cobalt(II) complexes of the Schiff bases 1,2-(diimino-4′-antipyrinyl)ethane (GA) and 4-N-(4′ -antipyrylmethylidene)aminoantipyanine (AA) with the general formulae [Co(GA)X]X (X = ClO−4, NO3−, Br− or I−), Co(AA)X2]X(X = CoO4
Abstract: Cobalt(II) complexes of the Schiff bases 1,2-(diimino-4′-antipyrinyl)ethane (GA) and 4-N-(4′-antipyrylmethylidene)aminoantipyrine (AA) have been prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, electrical conductance in non-aqueous solvents, i.r. and electronic spectra, as well as by magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complexes have the general formulae [Co(GA)X]X (X = ClO−4 or NO3−), [Co(GA)X2] (X = Cl−, Br− or I−), [Co(AA)2]X2 (X = ClO4−, NO3−, Br− or I−) and [Co(AA)Cl2]. GA acts as a neutral tetradentate ligand, coordinating through both carbonyl oxygens and both azomethine nitrogens. In the perchlorate and nitrate complexes of GA one anion is coordinated in a bidentate fashion, whereas in the halide complexes both anions are coordinated to the metal, generating an octahedral geometry around the Co ion. AA acts as a neutral bidentate ligand, coordinating through the carbonyl oxygen derived from the aldehydic moiety and the azomethine nitrogen. Both anions remain ionic in the perchlorate, nitrate, bromide and iodide complexes of AA, whereas both anions are coordinated to the metal ion in the chloride complex, resulting tetrahedral geometry around the Co ion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dissociation constant of the ligand as well as the stability constants of its metal complexes have been determined spectrophotometrically, on the basis of the infrared spectra.
Abstract: The stereochemistry of new iron(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of 6-(2-pyridylazo)-3-acetamidophenol (H2L) is studied on the basis of their analytical, spectroscopic, magnetic, thermal and conductance data. The dissociation constant of the ligand as well as the stability constants of its metal complexes have been determined spectrophotometrically. On the basis of the infrared spectra the coordination behaviour of the ligand to the metal ions is investigated. Magnetic susceptibility and solid reflectance spectral measurements are used to infer the structure. The prepared complexes are found to have the general formulae [M(HL)(H2O)x](A) · yH2O (M = Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Fe(III); HL = 6-(2-pyridylazo)-3-acetamidophenolate; A = acetate in case of Cu(II) and Zn(II) or chloride in case of Cd(II) and Fe(III), x = 1–3 and y = 0–5) or [M(H2L)(H2O) x ]Cl2 · yH2O (M = Ni(II) and Co(II); H2L = 6-(2-pyridylazo)-3-acetamidophenol, x = 3 and y = 5–6).

TL;DR: In this paper, the 3-phenyl-4-arylazo-5-pyrazolone ligands were synthesized and characterized by several analytical tools such as elemental analyses, IR, NMR, TG and molar conductance techniques.
Abstract: La(III), Ce(III), Th(IV) and UO2(VI) chelates with 3-phenyl-4-arylazo-5-pyrazolones have been synthesized and were characterized by several analytical tools such as elemental analyses, IR, NMR, TG and molar conductance techniques. The data obtained show that all of the prepared complexes contain water and/or alcohol molecules in their coordination sphere and the ligands form 1:1 and 1:2 complexes which are in good agreement with the proposed formulae. The NMR data of the prepared ligands show the existence of the ketonic structure rather than the enolic form. The TG data revealed no crystal water outside the coordination sphere. The azopyrazolone ligands act as neutral bidentate ligands bonded to the metal ions through the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group and the α nitrogen of the arylazo group. All solid chelates prepared behave as non-electrolytes in DMF solution. The coordination numbers of the prepared chelates are ranging from 6 to 12 for 1:1 and from 7 to 12 for 1:2 chelates.

All of the complexes have been characterised by elemental analyses, IR, electronic spectra, EPR, magnetic moment and cyclic voltammetric data. An octahedral structure has been tentatively proposed for the complexes. These complexes were also tested for their antibacterial properties.

TL;DR: In this article, N,N′-Bis(salicylidene-1,3-diaminopropane) and Cu(II) trinuclear complexes were prepared and found to form linear and non-linear trinucleus complexes.
Abstract: Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of N,N′-bis(salicylidene-1,3-diaminopropane) were prepared and found to form linear and non-linear trinuclear complexes. Elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and X-ray diffraction techniques applied to the complexes yielded valuable information about their moleculer structures. It was observed that μ-bridges in these trinuclear complexes form through the phenolic oxygens of the ligand or through anions present in the medium. In the presence of acetate, nitrate or nitrite, μ-bridges form between a pair of atoms resulting in linear trinuclear complexes. However, the presence of chloride or bromide results in μ-bridges involving the phenolic oxygens of N,N′-Bis(salicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane.

TL;DR: In this article, transition metal complexes of α-oximinoacetoacetanilide-4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (H3AT) have been synthesized.
Abstract: Transition metal complexes of α-oximinoacetoacetanilide-4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (H3AT) have been synthesized. Attempts were made to elucidate their geometries by elemental and thermal analyses, molar conductance, magnetic measurements and spectroscopy (IR and electronic). All the investigated metal ions form mononuclear complexes except the Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions which form binuclear complexes. The ligand behaves as a binegative tridentate species and coordinates via the thiol sulfur and azomethine nitrogens of the oxime and thiosemicarbazone moieties with Cu(II), Ni(II) and Pd(II) ions, and as a trinegative tridentate species with Fe(III) ion forming a sulfur bridge. The loss of thiol and oxime hydrogens is confirmed by the pH titrations of H3AT and its metal(II) complexes against 0.01 M NaOH. The protonation constants (log K1 H=10.7 and log K1 H = 6.6) were calculated as well as the stability constants of the metal complexes. The ligand may be applied as analytical reagent for the spectrophotometric ...

Abstract: The preparation of copper ascorbate in CH2Cl2 is described. The reaction between copper(II) methoxide and L-ascorbic acid in the presence of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and under strictly anaerobic conditions leads to the formation of a stable Cu(II)-ascorbate complex. No redox reaction takes place. Spectroscopic evidence suggest that the compound is polymeric where Cu(II) is chelated by the enolic oxygens of one ascorbate unit and the side chain alcoholic oxygens of another.

Abstract: The reactions of thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTF) and LnCl3 (Ln = Dy(III), Er(III), Gd(III), Ho(III) and Sm(III)) in 3:1 ligand:metal molar ratio have been investigated. The isolated solid products have been characterized by spectroscopy (UV-Vis, IR and 1H NMR), thermogravimetry and elemental analyses. The microanalytical data of the investigated compounds are consistent with the chemical formulas Ln(TTF)3(H2O)2 (Ln = Dy, Gd and Ho), Er(TTF)3, and Sm(TTF)2Cl(H2O). The charge densities on the ligand atoms were calculated by CNDO-SCF calculations. The antibacterial activities of the investigated complexes were tested and evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, two symmetrical Schiff base ligands with tetradentate N2O2 and pentadentate n3O2 coordinating sites were prepared by the reaction of the aldehyde 2-methyl-7-formyl-8-hydroxy-quinoline with 1,3-diaminopropane or diethylenetriamine, respectively, in the molar ratio 2:1.
Abstract: Two novel symmetrical Schiff base ligands, H2L1 and H2L2, with tetradentate N2O2 and pentadentate N3O2 coordinating sites were prepared by the reaction of the aldehyde 2-methyl-7-formyl-8-hydroxy-quinoline with 1,3-diaminopropane or diethylenetriamine, respectively, in the molar ratio 2:1. Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Fe(III) and VO(IV) complexes of both ligands were synthesized. The ligands and their metal complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, ESR, NMR and mass spectra and also by magnetic moment measurements. Both ligands behave as tetradentate ones when coordinating metal cations. The ligand H2L1 has a smaller cavity than the ligand H2L2, thus the former ligand yielded mononuclear products, through chelation of one ligand molecule to a metal cation, while the latter ligand yielded binuclear products, through the coordination of two metal cations to two ligand molecules. Each of the Fe(III) cations was coordinated to three halves of both ligand molecules yielding also a mono...

TL;DR: In this article, the rate of the Ru(III) catalysed oxidation of six derivatives of phenethyl alcohol (X-C6H4-CH2CH2OH where X═H, Cl, Br, CH3, OCH3 or NO2) was followed spectrophotometrically at λmax =500 nm.
Abstract: The kinetics of the Ru(III) catalysed oxidation of six derivatives of phenethyl alcohol (X-C6H4-CH2CH2OH where X═H, Cl, Br, CH3, OCH3 or NO2) by manganese(III) sulfate, in sulfuric acid solution at 30°C, were followed spectrophotometrically at λmax =500 nm. The rate shows a first-order dependence on [Mn(III)] and Michaelis-Menten kinetics was observed with the substrate. The rate was of fractional-order in [Ru(III)]. Hammett acidity function (─H0) has been invoked to explain the retardation of the rate by acid. Bunnett plots indicated the absence of water molecule participation in the rate-limiting step. Variation of the ionic strength and the dielectric constant and the addition of the reaction product Mn(II) and anions such as C1−, SO2+ 4, and F− have no effect on the rate. The solvent isotope effect k(H2O)/k(D2O) =1.38 was observed. Proton inventory studies were made in H2O-D2O mixtures. A linear free energy relationship was observed when the results were analyzed by Hammett and Okamoto-Brown equations...

TL;DR: In this article, the properties of 3-substituted 2-4-pentanediones have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, infrared and electronic spectral measurements.
Abstract: Oxovanadium(IV) complexes of various 3-substituted 2,4-pentanediones [VO(H3CCOCHRCOCH3]2 where R = CH3, C2H5, i-C3H7, n-C4H9, i-C4H9, C6H5, CH3CO, C6H5CH2, have been synthesized and their adducts with 4-methylpyridine prepared. The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, infrared and electronic spectral measurements. The infrared vanadyl stretching frequency ν(V = O) were observed in the range 940–998 cm−1 indicating the non-existence of polymeric structures. The infrared and electronic spectral studies indicate that the oxovanadium(IV) β-diketone complexes assume a square-pyramidal geometry while the adducts adopt a six-coordinate octahedral geometry. The effective magnetic moments (μeff) for the complexes at room temperature are between 1.71 and 1.76 B.M. indicating the compounds are magnetically dilute. Possible structures for the compounds are suggested.

The thermodynamic functions have been analyzed in terms of the electrostatic (el) and non-electrostatic (non) components. ΔH° non was found to be linearly correlated with the acceptor number of the metal ion (ANM), whereas ΔH° el was correla...

TL;DR: Octakis(hexylthio)vanadyl porphyrazinate (VOPz) was prepared from vanadyl(IV) sulfate and metal-free porphyrasine (H2Pz), which was synthesized by cyclotetramerization of the corresponding dinitrile derivative and further treatment with trifluoroacetic acid as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Octakis(hexylthio)vanadyl porphyrazinate, (VOPz), was prepared from vanadyl(IV) sulfate and metal-free porphyrazine (H2Pz), which was synthesized by the cyclotetramerization of the corresponding dinitrile derivative and further treatment with trifluoroacetic acid. Intense absorption peaks at 699 and 352 nm in the electronic spectrum indicated the C4v symmetry of VOPz. ESR studies, both in solution and in powder form, confirmed the proposed structure.
