AbstractA series of five chloride coordination compounds of diethyl (pyridin-4-ylmethyl)phosphate (4-pmOpe) ligand, i.e. [CuCl2(4-pmOpe)2], [NiCl2(4-pmOpe)4], [CoCl2(4-pmOpe)], [ZnCl2(4-pmOpe)2], and [CdCl2(4-pmOpe)2], was prepared and studied. Stoichiometry and stereochemistry of the compounds was confirmed by spectroscopic and magnetic studies as well as by elemental analyses. The 4-pmOpe ligand has a capacity to coordinate to metal ions by means of phosphoryl oxygen and/or nitrogen of pyridine atoms. In Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) compounds, 4-pmOpe adopts the monodentate coordination mode, bonding metal centers through the pyridine nitrogen atom only. On the contrary, in Co(II) and Cd(II) compounds, 4-pmOpe acts as N,O-bridging ligand forming polynuclear structures. Magnetic studies (1.8–300 K) indicate mononuclear structure of the Co(II) and Ni(II) compounds and suggest existence of a very weak exchange coupling between metal centers in crystal lattice.

Five new mixed ligand metal complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of divalent transition metal ions (Hg, Ni, Zn, Cu and Cd) with 2-(naphthalen-l-ylamino)-2-phenylacetonitrile (L1 ) and 1,10-phenanthroline (L2). The coordination likelihood of the two ligands toward metal ions has been suggested in the light of elemental analysis, UV-Vis spectra, FTIR, 1H-NMR, flam atomic absorption, molar conductance and magnetic studies. Results data suggest that the octahedral geometry for all the prepared complexes. Antibacterial examination of synthesized complexes in vitro was performed against four bacterias. Firstly, Gram-negative bacteria namely, Pseudomonas aerugin and Escherichia. Secondly, Gram-positive bacteria namely, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcuaurouss. Results data exhibit that the synthesized complexes exhibited more biological activity than tetracycline pharmaceutical.

New ligand containing 2-(2,4-dioxo-4-thiophen-2-yl-butyrylamino)-benzoic acid (HL) merged moiety was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, elemental analyses, mass spectra and 1H-NMR spectral. In the present study, the attempts were carried to form complexes of HL ligand with some transition metal ions (MnII, CuII and CoII) of well-defined at the (1:1) ratio of the components in the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent. All complexes have been studied by FTIR spectra, elemental analyses, thermal analysis, molar conductivity, electronic spectra and magnetic moment. The HL ligand produced as a bidentate chelate with interactive metal ions. All the results suggested octahedral geometry to complexes and have the formulae [M(HL)(Cl)2(H2O)2].nH2O where M = Mn(II), Cu(II) and Co(II). The IR spectra of the complexes were assigned and compared with the data in literature. The kinetic and thermodynamic results such as E*, ΔH*, ΔS* and ΔG* were calculated based o the TGA/DTG curves using Coats and Redfern and Horowitz and Metzger approximation methods. Furthermore, the resultant complexes were evaluated for the anti-bacterial and anti-fungal potential.                     KEY WORDS: 2-(2,4-Dioxo-4-thiophen-2-yl-butyrylamino)-benzoic acid, Transition metal complexes, FTIR, TGA, Antimicrobial test   Bull.

It has been known for a long time that electron irradiation induces damage in maximal valence transition metal oxides such as TiO2, V2O5, and WO3, of which transition metal ions have an empty d-shell. This type of damage is excited by electronic transition and can be explained by the Knoteck-Feibelman mechanism (K-F mechanism). Although the K-F mechanism predicts that no damage should occur in transition metal oxides of which the transition metal ions have a partially filled d-shell, namely submaximal valence transition metal oxides, our recent study on ReO3 shows that submaximal valence transition metal oxides undergo damage during electron irradiation.ReO3 has a nearly cubic structure and contains a single unit in its cell: a = 3.73 Å, and α = 89°34'. TEM specimens were prepared by depositing dry powders onto a holey carbon film supported on a copper grid. Specimens were examined in Hitachi H-9000 and UHV H-9000 electron microscopes both operated at 300 keV accelerating voltage. The electron beam flux was maintained at about 10 A/cm2 during the observation.

<p>Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, yet the cause and progression of this disorder are not completely understood. While the main hallmark of AD is the deposition of amyloid plaques consisting of the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide, transition metal ions are also known to play a significant role in disease pathology by expediting the formation of neurotoxic soluble β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and oxidative stress. Thus, bifunctional metal chelators that can control these deleterious properties are highly desirable. Herein, we show that amentoflavone (AMF) – a natural biflavonoid compound, exhibits good metal-chelating properties, especially for chelating Cu<sup>2+</sup> with very high affinity (pCu<sub>7.4</sub> = 10.44). In addition, AMF binds to Aβ fibrils with a high affinity (<i>K<sub>i</sub></i> = 287 ± 20 nM) – as revealed by a competition thioflavin T (ThT) assay, and specifically labels the amyloid plaques <i>ex vivo</i> in the brain sections of transgenic AD mice – as confirmed via immunostaining with an Ab antibody. The effect of AMF on Aβ<sub>42</sub> aggregation and disaggregation of Aβ<sub>42</sub> fibrils was also investigated, to reveal that AMF can control the formation of neurotoxic soluble Aβ<sub>42</sub> oligomers, both in absence and presence of metal ions, and as confirmed via cell toxicity studies. Furthermore, an ascorbate consumption assay shows that AMF exhibits potent antioxidant properties and can chelate Cu<sup>2+</sup> and significantly diminish the Cu<sup>2+</sup>-ascorbate redox cycling and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. Overall, these studies strongly suggest that AMF acts as a bifunctional chelator that can interact with various Aβ aggregates and reduce their neurotoxicity, can also bind Cu<sup>2+</sup> and mediate its deleterious redox properties, and thus AMF has the potential to be a lead compound for further therapeutic agent development for AD. </p>
