Polynuclear complexes are an important class of inorganic functional materials and are of interest particularly for their applications in molecular magnets. Multidentate chelating ligands play an important role in the design and syntheses of polynuclear metal clusters. A novel linear tetranuclear CoIIcluster, namely bis{μ3-(E)-2-[(2-oxidobenzylidene)amino]phenolato}bis{μ2-(E)-2-[(2-oxidobenzylidene)amino]phenolato}bis(1,10-phenanthroline)tetracobalt(II), [Co4(C14H11NO2)4(C12H8N2)2], was prepared under solvothermal conditions through a mixed-ligand synthetic strategy. The structure was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and bulk purity was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. The complex molecule has a centrosymmetric tetranuclear chain-like structure and the four CoIIions are located in two different coordination environments. The CoIIions at the ends of the chain are in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, while the two inner CoIIions are in five-coordinate distorted trigonal bipyramidal environments. A magnetic study reveals ferromagnetic CoII...CoIIexchange interactions for the complex.

The reaction between 2-[2-(aminoethyl)amino]ethanol and pyridine-2-carbaldehyde in a 1:2 molar ratio affords a mixture containing 2-({2-[(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)amino]ethyl}amino)ethanol (PMAE) and 2-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)oxazolidin-3-yl]-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)ethanamine (POPME). Treatment of this mixture with copper(II) chloride or cadmium(II) chloride gave trichlorido[(2-hydroxyethyl)({2-[(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)amino]ethyl})azanium]copper(II) monohydrate, [Cu(C10H16N3O)Cl3]·H2O or [Cu(HPMAE)Cl3]·H2O, 1, and dichlorido{2-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)oxazolidin-3-yl]-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)ethanamine}cadmium(II), [CdCl2(C16H18N4O)] or [CdCl2(POPME)], 2, which were characterized by elemental analysis, FT–IR, Raman and 1H NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. PMAE is potentially a tetradentate N3O-donor ligand but coordinates to copper here as an N2 donor. In the structure of 1, the geometry around the Cu atom is distorted square pyramidal. In 2, the Cd atom has a distorted octahedral geometry. In addition to the hydrogen bonds, there are π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings in the crystal packing of 1 and 2. The ability of PMAE, POPME and 1 to interact with ten selected biomolecules (BRAF kinase, CatB, DNA gyrase, HDAC7, rHA, RNR, TrxR, TS, Top II and B-DNA) was investigated by docking studies and compared with doxorubicin.

A series of chromium(iii) complexes ligated by N^N^N tridentate 2-quinoxalinyl-6-iminopyridine were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis for the structure of complex C3 reveals a distorted octahedral geometry. When methylaluminoxane was employed as the co-catalyst, the chromium complexes showed high activities for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization. The distribution of oligomers obtained followed Schulz–Flory rules with high selectivity for α-olefins. Both steric and electronic effects of coordinated ligands affected the catalytic activities as well as the properties of the catalytic products. The parameters of the reaction conditions were also investigated to explore the optimum catalytic potentials of these complexes.

AbstractThe stable ternary copper(II) complexes of ATP and ADP, [Cu(H2ATP)(phen)]2 · 7 H2O (2) and [Cu4(HADP)2(bipy)4(H2O)2(NO3)2] · 2 NO3 (3), have been isolated from aqueous solution at respective pH values of 2.8 and 4.0. Their structures have been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Tridentate coordination of each of the Cu atoms by ono α-, one β- and one γ-phosphate O atom of one ATP molecule is observed in 2. The binding Oα atoms occupy axial positions in a distorted octahedral geometry at Cu and the Cu- Oα interactions are weak. The other axial position is occupied by a γ-phosphate O atom of the second ATP molecule, leading to a dimeric structure. The basic structure of 3 is similar with, in this case, bidentate coordination of each of the central Cu atoms by one α- and one β-phosphate O atom of ono ADP molecule. In this case, however, the third terminal β-phosphate O atoms each bind a further Cu atom. All four Cu atoms in 3 display square pyramidal coordination. The structures of 2 and 3 are stabilised by intramolecular stacking of adenine and phenanthroline/bipyridyl systems. The significance of these structures as models for enzyme-metal ion-nucleoside polyphosphate complexes is discussed.

Two new mononuclear coordination compounds, bis{4-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]pyridinium} diaquabis(pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylato-κ2N,O2)zincate(II), (C6H7N2O)2[Zn(C7H3NO4)2(H2O)2], (1), and (pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-κ3O2,N,O6)bis[N-(pyridin-4-ylmethylidene-κN)hydroxylamine]zinc(II), [Zn(C7H3NO4)(C6H6N2O)2], (2), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The centrosymmetric ZnIIcation in (1) is octahedrally coordinated by two chelating pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate ligands and by two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. In (2), the ZnIIcation is coordinated by a tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate dianion and by twoN-(pyridin-4-ylmethylidene)hydroxylamine molecules in a distortedC2-symmetric trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry.

Two new cyano-bridged trinuclear heterometallic complexes [Ca2(phen)4(ClO4)(H2O)3- Fe(CN)6]・H2O (1) and [Ca2 (phen)4(CH3COO)(H2O)3Fe(CN)6]・2H2O (2) (where phen = 1,10- phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The structure of complex 1 features a central [Fe(CN)6]3− unit that links a monocation [Ca(phen)2(H2O)(ClO4)]+ and a dication [Ca(phen)2- (H2O)2]2+ via two trans cyanide bridges. Similarly, complex 2 also features a central [Fe(CN)6]3− unit that links a monocation [Ca(phen)2(H2O)(CH3COO)]+ and a dication [Ca(phen)2(H2O)2]2+ via two trans cyanide bridges. In 1 and 2, both Ca centers are seven-coordinated and achieve a pentagonal- bipyramidal geometry whereas the Fe center in both the complexes possesses a distorted octahedral geometry. Intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding networks are present in 1 and 2 that impart the overall molecular stability to both the systems.

AbstractTwo Mn(II) complexes, {[Mn(BIPMO)2Cl2] · 2(H2O)}n (1) and {[Mn(BIPMO)2(SCN)2] · 2(CH3OH)}n (2) (BIPMO = bis(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone) with V-shaped BIPMO ligands, were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses along with their single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The Mn(II) ions in 1 and 2 are both six-coordinated to four nitrogen atoms of four BIPMO ligands and two anions (Cl− for 1, and SCN− for 2) to form a distorted octahedral geometry.

In the title compound, [CdL2(H2O)4]·2H2O [L= (1-ammonio-1-phosphonoethyl)phosphonate, C2H8NO6P2−], the CdIIion is situated on an inversion centre being coordinated by four aqua molecules in the equatorial plane and two phosphonate O atoms from two deprotonatedLligands in the axial positions in a distorted octahedral geometry. The asymmetric unit contains one-half of the complex molecule and one lattice water molecule. The ligandLexists in a zwitterionic form, with a positive charge on the NH3group and a negative charge on the O atom of the non-coordinating phosphonate group, and with an intramolecular O—H...O interaction forming anS(6) ring motif and two intramolecular N—H...O interactions each generating anS(5) ring motif. In the crystal, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into a three-dimensional network in which the voids of 38 Å3are filled with ordered lattice water molecules, which are also involved in O—H...O hydrogen bonding.

AbstractTwo complexes, {Mn(hfac)2(BIPMO)}n (1), {Cu(hfac)2(BIPMO)}n (2) [hfac=1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-pentane-2,4-dionato(–), BIPMO=bis(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone], with the V-shaped ligands were synthesized and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analyses, along with single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The X-ray diffraction studies have shown that the metal ions in 1 and 2 are both six-coordinated to two nitrogen atoms of two BIPMO ligands and four oxygen atoms of two hfac ligands to form a distorted octahedral geometry. Each BIPMO ligand acts as a bridging ligand to link two adjacent metal(II) atoms to form a helical chain in the crystal structure.

AbstractA tridentate hydrazone precursor, N′-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]acetohydrazide (L) (1:1 refluxed product of acetichydrazide and 2-acetylpyridine), produced two octahedral CuII and NiII derivatives, [CuL2]·NO3 (1) and [NiL2]·ClO4·H2O (2). Both are subjected to X-ray diffraction system, and structural investigation shows that the central metal atom (CuII or NiII) adopts a distorted octahedral geometry with N4O2 donor sets by coordination of a pair of independent hydrazone precursors. Besides X-ray study, IR and UV-vis spectra, thermal analysis and room temperature magnetic moments are utilized for establishing significant characteristics of both complexes. It is apparent that the M-Npyridine bonds are slightly longer than the M-Nimino bonds, Cu1-N1 and Cu1-N4 [2.300(2) and 2.038(2) Å] for 1 and Ni1-N1 and Ni1-N4 [2.075(2) and 2.084(1) Å] for 2, Cu1-N2 and Cu1-N5 [2.062(1) and 1.932(1) Å] for 1 and Ni1-N2 and Ni1-N5 [2.008(2) and 1.975(2) Å] for 2, respectively. As per our observation, the effective magnetic moment value (µeff) is found to be 1.77 B.M. for 1 and 3.06 BM for 2, respectively.

A novel complex of nickel(II) picrate (pic) with the V-shaped ligand 2, 6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl) pyridine (bbp) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductivity, and IR and UV/Vis spectral measurements. The crystal structure of the nickel(II) complex ([Ni(bbp)2](pic)2·2DMF) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Ni(II) cation is bonded to two bbp ligands through six nitrogen atoms, resulting in a distorted octahedral geometry. The DNA-binding properties of the nickel(II) complex were investigated by electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra and by viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that the nickel(II) complex binds to DNA in an intercalation mode.
