Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and in vitro antimicrobial activity of complexes

TL;DR: In this paper, a tetradentate ligand was synthesized and characterized using elemental analyses, spectra (IR, 1 H NMR and ESR), molar conductance, magnetic moment, and thermal studies.
Abstract: New metal(II)/(III) complexes with novel Schiff base, resulted from the condensation of propane-1,3- diamine with bisaldehyde, as tetradentate ligand have been synthesized and characterized using elemental analyses, spectra (IR, 1 H NMR and ESR), molar conductance, magnetic moment, and thermal studies. The IR data sug- gest the coordination mode for the Schiff base ligand which behaves as a tetradentate with the metal ions. Based on the elemental analysis, magnetic studies, electronic, and ESR data, octahedral geometry was proposed for the complexes. The ESR spectra of the Cu(II) complex in powdered form showed an axial symmetry with 2 B1g as ground state and hyperfine structure. The thermal stability and degradation of the Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were studied by TG. The molar conductance in DMF solution indicates that all complexes are electrolytes. The free Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. The results showed that the synthesized complexes exhibited higher antimicrobial activity than their free Schiff base ligand. Of all the studied complexes, the Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes exhibited high antimicrobial activity at low micromolar inhibitory con- centrations compared to the other complexes, amikacin standard, and the free Schiff base ligand.

TL;DR: In this article, a new Schiff base ligand (HL) with the IUPAC name 2-(((1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imino)(phenyl)methyl)benzoic acid.
Abstract: The condensation of o-benzoyl benzoic acid and 4-aminoantipyrine resulted in the formation of novel Schiff base ligand (HL) with the IUPAC name 2-(((1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imino)(phenyl)methyl)benzoic acid. The synthesized Schiff base ligand and its complexes with M(II)/(III) transition elements (Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)) were characterized by elemental, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity, spectroscopic (1H NMR, mass, UV–visible, FTIR, ESR), thermal and X-ray powder diffraction. The data showed that the complexes had composition of the MHL type. The diffused reflectance spectra, magnetic susceptibility and ESR spectral data of the complexes confirm an octahedral geometry around metal ions. The thermal analysis data revealed the decomposition of the complexes in three to five successive decomposition steps within the temperature range of 30–1000°C, and the activation thermodynamic parameters were reported. The molecular structures of the Schiff base ligand and its Mn(II) and Zn(II) metal complexes are optimized theoretically, and the quantum chemical parameters are calculated. In order to predict the binding between o-benzoyl benzoic acid, 4-aminoantipyrine and HL ligand with the Escherichia coli bacterial RNA (4p20) receptor, molecular docking was carried out. The in vitro antimicrobial screening of the newly synthesized compounds was tested against different bacterial and fungal organisms. The results showed that the metal complexes have biologically activity more than the new Schiff base ligand against the tested organisms. The Schiff base ligand and its complexes were also screened for their anticancer activity against breast cancer cell line (MCF7). The Mn(II), Cr(III) and Cd(II) complexes were found to have low IC50 values which support the possibility of using them as cytotoxic agents and hence might become good anticancer agent in clinical trials.

TL;DR: In this article, four novel azo compounds were synthesized: o-phenylazo-(C14H13N3O2) (I), p-bromo-O-PNO-PN 3O2 (II) and p-methoxy-OPNO 2 (III) were compared with electron ionization (EI) mass spectral fragmentation pathways and thermal decomposition mechanisms.
Abstract: Four novel azo compounds were synthesized: o-phenylazo-(C14H13N3O2) (I), p-bromo-o-phenylazo-(C14H13BrN3O2) (II), p-methoxy-o-phenylazo-(C15H16N3O3) (III), and p-nitro-o-phenylazo-p-acetamidophenol (C14H13N4O4) (IV). These compounds were carefully investigated using elemental analyses, IR, and thermal analyses (TA) in comparison with electron ionization (EI) mass spectral (MS) fragmentation at 70 eV. Semi-empirical MO calculation, PM3 procedure, has been carried out on the four azo dyes (I–IV), both as neutral molecules and the corresponding positively charged molecular ions. These included molecular geometries (bond length, bond order, and charge distribution, heats of formation, and ionization energies). The mass spectral fragmentation pathways and thermal decomposition mechanisms were reported and interpreted on the basis of molecular orbital (MO) calculations. They are found to be highly correlated to each other. Also, the Hammett’s effects of p-methoxy, p-bromo, and p-nitro-substituents of phenyl azo groups on the thermal stability of these dyes (I–IV) are studied by experimental (TA and MS) in comparison with MO calculations, and the data obtained are discussed. This research aimed chiefly to throw more light on the structures of the four prepared azo derivatives of acetoamidophenol (p-cetamol). The data refering to the thermal stability of these dyes can be used in industry for effective dyeing purposes under different thermal conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of ruthenium(II) complexes with bidentate Schiff base ligands derived by condensing salicylaldehyde with aniline, o-, m- or p-toluidine has been carried out.
Abstract: The reactions of ruthenium(II) complexes, [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)2(B)] [B = PPh3, pyridine (py) or piperidine (pip)], with bidentate Schiff base ligands derived by condensing salicylaldehyde with aniline, o-, m- or p-toluidine have been carried out. The products were characterised by analytical, i.r., electronic, 1H-n.m.r. and 31P-n.m.r. spectral studies and are formulated as [RuCl(CO)(L)(PPh3)(B)] (L = Schiff base anion; B = PPh3, py or pip). An octahedral structure has been tentatively proposed for the new complexes. The Schiff bases and the new complexes were tested in vitro to evaluate their activity against the fungus Aspergillus flavus.
