Coordination compounds of 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-2H-chromen-2-one and their mixed ligand complexes with aminoethanoic acid and pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid were synthesized by the reaction of Cu(II) and Zn(II) salts in molar ratio 1 : 2 for the coumarin complexes and 1 : 1 : 1 for the mixed ligand complexes, in basic media. The compounds formed were characterized using infrared, Uv-vis spectrophotometric analyses, mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and EDX analyses. It was concluded that 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-2H-chromen-2-one coordinated as a monobasic ligand for all the complexes; it also coordinated via the carbonyl moiety in the case of the Cu(II) mixed ligand complexes. Similarly it was proposed that the amino acids also coordinated in a bidentate fashion via their amino nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atoms. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. The complexes exhibited marginal antimicrobial activity but good cytotoxic activity.

The zinc(II) ion forms stable complexes with a wide variety of ligands, but those related to Schiff-bases are among the most largely investigated. This review deals with the peculiar aggregation characteristics of Zn(II) Schiff-base complexes from tetradentate N2O2 salen-type ligands, L, derivatives from salicylaldehydes and 1,2-diamines, and is mostly focused on their spectroscopic properties in solution. Thanks to their Lewis acidic character, ZnL complexes show interesting structural, nanostructural, and aggregation/deaggregation properties in relation to the absence/presence of a Lewis base. Deaggregation of these complexes is accompanied by relevant changes of their spectroscopic properties that can appropriately be exploited for sensing Lewis bases. Thus, ZnL complexes have been investigated as chromogenic and fluorogenic chemosensors of charged and neutral Lewis bases, including cell imaging, and have shown to be selective and sensitive to the Lewis basicity of the involved species. From these studies emerges that these popular, Lewis acidic bis(salicylaldiminato)Zn(II) Schiff-base complexes represent classical coordination compounds for modern applications.

Abstract The reaction of transition metal thiocyanates with 3-acetylpyridine (3-Acpy) leads to the formation of compounds of compositions M(NCS)2(3-Acpy)4 (M1; M = Mn, Fe, Ni) and M(NCS)2(3- Acpy)2(H2O)2 (M2; M = Mn, Fe, Ni). Thermogravimetric investigations show that in the first step some of these compounds transform into the new coordination polymers M(NCS)2(3-Acpy)2 (M3 with M = Mn, Fe and Ni), that decompose into the new compounds M(NCS)2(3-Acpy) (M4 with M = Mn and Ni) in the second step. Unfortunately, the powder patterns of compounds M3 and M4 cannot be indexed, and there are strong indications that these compounds are contaminated with a small amount of the precursor or unknown crystalline phases. IR spectroscopic investigations indicate that in compounds M3 the metal cations are linked by μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanato anions into 1D or 2D coordination polymers that are further linked by the 3-Acpy ligands in compounds M4.
